Chapter 149 : High-Tier Corpse Servant! Fierce Battle!
Chapter 149: High-Tier Corpse Servant! Fierce Battle!
Leo looked at that sentence. It seemed that this world might truly contain those legendary things.
However, for some unknown reason, the kingdom appeared to be suppressing both the Secret Faith Gathering and the Followers Association.
Leo noticed that in the first half of Sage Kaja’s diary, his living conditions had not been very good.
For a long time, he had wandered between cities under the identity of a Bard.
Only after joining the Secret Faith Gathering and coming into contact with certain magic families of the Danlun Kingdom did his life gradually improve.
“It seems that if I want to truly access these things, I’ll have to go to the royal capital of the Danlun Kingdom and find those magic families.”
Additionally, the diary mentioned some very interesting matters.
About the Star Emblem and the Infinite Pouch.
Among the items Anthony carried, Leo had found both of these treasures.
One was a somewhat worn-looking pouch, yet it was extremely peculiar.
According to the description, this pouch possessed almost infinite elasticity.
It was said that as long as you wished to store something, you could even stuff an entire mountain into it.
However, this pouch was not a spatial artifact.
Whatever size the contents were, the pouch would expand to match.
“That’s not exactly convenient.”
However, the Infinite Pouch could be used together with another item—the Star Emblem.
The Star Emblem contained residual power from ancient magic families.
It could establish a spatial anchor at another location.
Then, by infusing Spirit power, one could transfer items from the Infinite Pouch to that anchor.
This was also one of the most famous tests within the Secret Faith Gathering.
The Star Emblem teleportation test.
Transporting a certain mass of objects and measuring the time required.
“It seems the sudden disappearance of the Body Tempering Potions I noticed earlier was achieved through this combination.”
Leo had been puzzled by that matter for a long time.
Now, he finally had his answer—and the items themselves.
“If what’s written here is true, these two items are priceless treasures.”
After returning, he planned to study them thoroughly.
If he could transfer items to another location, it could effectively function as a storage artifact.
As Leo rode the Dragon-Elephant back toward Blackstone City, he repeatedly examined these items.
He felt like he had glimpsed the tip of an entirely different world.
“It seems this world is far richer than I imagined. A magical world… If I want to explore it further, I must go to the royal capital.”
However, Leo had no immediate plans to leave.
On one hand, he currently had a stable cultivation environment in Blackstone City, along with steady resources and an intelligence network he had built.
He had no intention of leaving so easily.
Even if he did leave, he would prepare thoroughly.
Just like in his previous life delivering food—he usually operated within a familiar area.
Entering an unfamiliar region would drastically reduce efficiency.
Moreover, from Kaja’s description, the Secret Faith Gathering was not supported by the kingdom.
Thus, pursuing magic was far from simple.
Kaja’s success alone proved nothing.
Leo intended to gather more intelligence before making any decisions.
He would remain cautious regarding these mysterious matters.
As for the knight’s path, Leo had no intention of stopping. The Secret Faith Gathering also seemed to have requirements for strength.
Only after gaining sufficient power would he explore these matters further.
As he thought, Leo had already entered Blackstone City.
However, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
The streets were completely empty.
“Today isn’t a special day… strange.”
As he pondered, Leo instinctively activated Hunting Moment. His brows suddenly furrowed.
At the far end of a street corner, someone seemed to be hiding.
Leo activated Vibration Perception.
He quickly detected the person’s presence.
That person appeared to be lying in ambush.
“For me?”
Leo slowly stopped his horse, dismounted lightly, and instructed the Dragon-Elephant to turn back.
He prepared to climb onto a nearby rooftop.
But at that moment, the other party seemed to notice his intention.
The next instant, the figure stepped out and stood at the end of the alley.
“Leo Laide.”
A very familiar voice rang out.
Leo looked at the figure and froze.
White clothing, a high ponytail, a slender figure.
And that unmistakable calm demeanor.
“Tita?” Leo looked at the figure—Anthony’s Knight’s Attendant, Tita.
Why was she here?
Leo realized he hadn’t seen her for quite some time.
He had been busy lately and rarely visited the Knight Hall.
But now, Tita felt completely different.
Her entire aura had turned cold, as if all vitality had been stripped away.
Tita looked at Leo. “Leo Laide, Sir Anthony… seems to have fallen by your hand.”
She studied him carefully.
Leo stood at a distance. “What? Anthony?”
He feigned ignorance, observing her reaction.
This Tita felt like a completely different person.
In his memory, she had been someone decent.
During the Beast Calamity, she had even spoken up for him.
Previously, at the Knight Hall, she had treated him well.
Why had she changed so drastically?
“Leo, there’s no need to pretend. Blackstone City will soon disappear.” Tita glanced toward the castle, where dark clouds seemed to gather.
Leo also noticed the anomaly.
“So, you’re here to avenge your knight master Anthony.”
His hand gripped his sword.
“No, not knight master—master.” Tita’s voice sounded eerie.
Leo noticed that her aura resembled someone else.
Zoro.
“So, Tita… you practiced the Divine Sacrifice Method. Why?”
Leo asked his final question.
In his eyes, she had a bright future.
Aside from himself, she had been the closest to reaching the Knight Realm in Blackstone City.
“No reason. Anthony gave me everything. I cannot refuse his command.”
Unlike Zoro, Tita’s choice came from loyalty.
She had grown up under Anthony’s care.
Everything she had came from him.
So when he asked her to practice the Divine Sacrifice Method, she did not hesitate.
Leo clenched his fist. “Knightly loyalty…”
Then his gaze turned cold. “Foolish loyalty.”
In that instant, Tita charged forward.
Her speed was terrifying.
With the Lightning Breathing Technique combined with the Divine Sacrifice Method, she was far faster than Anthony.
In the blink of an eye, she crossed dozens of meters.
Leo sensed the danger and prepared in advance.
Tita’s strength was completely abnormal—far beyond a Quasi-Knight.
Even stronger than Anthony.
Meanwhile, Tita remained expressionless.
Before Anthony left, she had sacrificed all senses except vision—including emotions.
She had become a High-tier Corpse Servant.
To her, Leo was nothing but a target.
A target for revenge.
With a sharp tearing sound—
In an instant, she was within ten meters.
Leo frowned deeply, feeling unprecedented pressure.
Greater than when facing Anthony.
He estimated her strength had reached High-tier Knight level.
He hadn’t expected Anthony to leave behind such a trump card.
Moreover, after fighting Anthony earlier, his stamina had only recovered to about seventy percent.
At this moment, his Breathing Technique surged, Bronze Flame igniting in his hand.
But this time, he did not charge head-on.
Her speed was too fast—he had no time to build up power for a Tsunami strike.
In the blink of an eye, the Thunder God’s Hammer flashed.
The Eye of the Thunder Lizard embedded within erupted with lightning.
A bolt surged through the blade and into the ground, shooting toward Tita.
Caught off guard, Tita stepped aside.
But the lightning still affected her.
Her legs were briefly numbed.
Her movement slowed for half a second.
But in that fleeting moment, Leo seized the opening.
He swung his sword.
The massive blade burned with Bronze Flame.
As the Thunder God’s Hammer slashed toward Tita—
Clang!
Three iron swords collided midair.
Sparks flew.
At that instant, a basin-sized patch of black spread before Tita.
Black Marsh!
