Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 422
Chapter 422: Chapter 156: Second Tier
Translator: 549690339
The source of the entire 1981 Research Institute’s pollution is that Mechanical Heart.
Normally, attempting a direct assault would likely never be capable of killing it.
But the timing chosen by Leonard Churchill and Seven Brown was just right.
They had the advantages of a weakened state and the Hot Melt Knife.
Moreover, the Mechanical Heart couldn’t move. As long as they could get close, they could make a hit.
The key to killing it was the layer of Alloy Armor on the outside of the Titan Heart.
If the defense couldn’t be broken, then even in a weakened state, it was nearly impossible to kill this creature.
As for the Hot Melt Knife, since the will of the Space made it only so long, it was certainly capable of piercing through that Alloy Armor.
Moreover, Leonard Churchill had previously observed the structure of the heart when he descended and had already analyzed the possible weaknesses of this monster to Seven Brown.
As anticipated, one strike was deadly.
This was Seven Brown’s first time experiencing such an exciting high-risk exploration adventure, her mind was practically blank, simply following Leonard Churchill’s actions.
If he rushed, she followed.
If he cleared the way, she attacked fiercely with the knife.
It was entirely a nanny-style command that was spoon-fed to her.
Even when she saw herself stabbing the heart, Seven Brown didn’t realize what she had done.
It wasn’t until she saw the Enlightenment come into sight that she dared to believe she had killed this special Second Tier, A-rank Catastrophe known as the Titan Heart.
With the death of the Titan Heart, the tentacles formed purely from energy that filled the laboratory instantly calmed down and then dispersed into dark energy.
The stifling constriction on Leonard Churchill’s body also instantly relaxed.
Both of them let out a big sigh of relief.
The crisis was averted.
Leonard Churchill didn’t go to check the clearance prompt at first, but his attention was drawn by another scene.
That’s because he saw a “hidden treasure chest” prompt appearing on the corpse of the Mechanical Heart.
Seven Brown never experienced nor heard other hunters say that monsters in the Alternate Dimension would directly drop treasure chests.
She looked at Leonard Churchill and cast a puzzled glance: “What is this?”
But Leonard Churchill faintly guessed what it was.
The last time in the Alternate Dimension of “Outpost Battle”, when they killed the opportunity BOSS, the Red Baron, it also dropped such a treasure chest.
This hidden storyline isn’t easy, there must be good stuff inside.
Leonard Churchill smiled and said, “Open it and you’ll find out.”
“Oh.”
Expectation filled Seven Brown’s eyes.
Nothing is more delightful than obtaining treasures after risking one’s life.
She touched the golden treasure chest. With a “click,” the chest revealed its true content.
After Leonard Churchill saw what it was, his gaze instantly became serious, he blurted out, “It’s this thing again?”
In the chest was a palm-sized bronze piece.
Very familiar, as he had seen it several times before.
The Enlightenment also displayed the item’s information.
[Mysterious Copper Piece]
Description: Contains a fragment of the ‘Mechanical Descent’ from the Fifty-Two Demonic God Forbidden Techniques, it’s a Secret Skill exclusive to the “Diamond 10” Professional Sequence;
“Ah?”
Seven Brown looked at this bronze piece, obviously very surprised.
She had seen it before as well.
Lord Nine Brown, her father, had half a piece.
Leonard Churchill had also previously drawn half a piece.
However, the one in front of her was only about a quarter of a piece.
Looking at this bronze piece, Leonard Churchill suddenly realized that the previous storyline hinted that Doctor Victor used an ancient secret art to transform the “Titan Mechanical Heart”. That method may have been obtained from this broken piece.
It wasn’t too weird that the chest contained this item.
“Mechanical Descent… good stuff.”
Leonard Churchill looked at this bronze piece and murmured.
Unfathomably powerful.
Although he didn’t know what was recorded on the bronze piece, judging from the two Demon God Forbidden Techniques he had previously learned, this item was invaluable.
Seven Brown, holding the bronze piece, was also very excited.
This ultimate BOSS really gave them a big surprise.
Leonard Churchill smiled and said, “Put it away, draw the settlement card, and let’s get ready to leave.”
Seven Brown nodded, then seemed to remember something, and asked, “Leonard Churchill, is your clearance rating S?”
Leonard Churchill: “Yes.”
The storyline of this Alternate Dimension is not complicated.
They had almost explored the entire main storyline, and all the major BOSS were killed by them. Therefore, achieving an S rating was normal.
But listening to this, Seven Brown showed a bit of confusion. It seemed she could hardly believe what she saw, and mumbled, “I… I seem to have an ‘S’ too.”
It wasn’t a surprise to Leonard Churchill that her rating was also high.
This space is team mode.
Although it looked like Miss Rita was just being led along all the way.
But in fact, her contribution was also very huge.
Starting from the first floor of the Research Institute, at least ninety-five percent of the monsters were killed by her.
And before, she cracked the password door, killed the A-rank Catastrophe, the Mechanical Gorilla, and the ultimate BOSS, the Titan Mechanical Heart.
All these were done by her hands.
It was normal to get an S rating.
However, Seven Brown insinuated some self-doubt and continued, “But I heard that… an ‘S’ rating is very, very difficult, and can we…?”
The process was indeed incredibly thrilling, but for her, it seemed she hadn’t encountered a real life and death crisis yet.
She felt like they managed to pass the game in a daze.
Speaking, Seven Brown looked at Leonard Churchill, her expression was obviously indicating: why did I get an S level the first time?
Hearing what was said, Leonard Churchill could only laugh.
He jokingly said, “That’s because Rita is very powerful.”
Being thrown into such a high-end game the first time around isn’t a kind of experience that most people can have.
But this was also the truth.
Although he and Seven Brown were only at the First Tier, their combat power far exceeded a typical Second Tier..
