Chapter 840: Chapter 265: Sophia Jones’s Domain – Descending Gods_2


    Again he looked, a hundred meters away, the Crow Knight was blown apart by a punch.


    ...


    Lew Williams’ eyes widened with disbelief, “The Crow Knight I feared most, killed so easily?”


    Catherine Carter also had some doubts earlier, but watching Leonard Churchill easily kill the monster with a punch made things clear to her too.


    After Leonard Churchill killed the creature and saw the Extraordinary Traits that emerged from its dissolving corpse, his expression grew solemn. He was astonished, “It actually possessed real energy? Fear Manifestation?”


    Feast Devouring it, he truly extracted attributes.


    ...


    He had thought it was just a product of Mental illusion, but it turned out to be a real monster.


    This was absurd.


    Catherine Carter came over too, thinking of the same issue, “It should be a monster manifested from fear.”


    “Right. It looks like there’s a direct connection between this Divine Ruins Treasure House and the Royal House of Augustus.”


    Leonard Churchill affirmed this notion and figured out more or less what was going on.


    He understood that the Silver Moon Sect was now entangled with the Orlan Remnants when he saw the combination of the Fear Secret Skill and the Holy Tree of Pleasure.


    Now it looked like there was more to it.


    The New King of Orlan, possibly, had some special way of manipulating this Mysterious Realm.


    For example: turning Fear Manifestation into monsters within the Mysterious Realm.


    It was only expected, though.


    Considering the current situation, this “Divine Ruins Treasure House” must be directly related to the Taren Dynasty from three thousand years ago.


    Meaning, the Royal House of Augustus was its original master.


    It would be one thing for outsiders to use this treasure house as a trap for hunting.


    But the owner having a “key” to a backdoor made sense too.


    At this moment, Lew Williams joined the conversation, having an epiphany, “Are you saying, this is what I fantasized about?”


    The monster was easily killed, a trivial matter for the chubby man.@@@@


    Muttering belatedly, “No wonder. I was wondering how the Crow Knight I feared the most as a child could appear in reality...”


    Without delay, Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter decided to quickly join forces to kill it.


    This Armored Monster was much tougher to deal with, its Understanding of Law was definitely Third Tier or above.


    It took several rounds of coordinated attacks before they could kill it.


    This indirectly revealed that Monica herself was quite strong.


    But both silently didn’t mention it.


    This was not the time for such discussions.


    After the monsters imagined by Lew Williams and Monica were killed, the filamentous threads on their bodies almost disappeared.


    Leonard Churchill spoke seriously, “Lew Williams, I plan to go to the surface to check things out. It could be dangerous for you to follow me. It’s relatively safer here, so it’s best you stay.”


    Catherine Carter knew what he was planning to do, and knowing she couldn’t stay behind, she immediately said, “I’ll go with you.”


    Leonard Churchill didn’t refuse.


    Lew Williams, of course, had no intention of taking the risk, “Okay. Then... Be careful, brother Churchill.”


    Leonard Churchill nodded, his gaze flicking to Monica, “You...”


    Monica, having possibly realized she exposed herself when the monster appeared, had wisely kept her distance, standing alone far away.


    Leonard Churchill was about to say something when Lew Williams interrupted him with a smile, “I know. Take care.”


    “...”


    Leonard Churchill froze, but then understood.


    The chubby man wasn’t oblivious after all.


    With that, Leonard Churchill left unspoken words behind and headed toward the surface with Catherine Carter.


    ...


    The two of them quickly made their way to the surface.


    From within a small building, Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter hid in the shadows, observing.


    The red moon in the sky was increasingly sinister, and the Holy Tree of Pleasure bloomed evermore vigorously as if it had absorbed enough nutrients.


    Countless black filaments guided by the moonlight converged on the Holy Tree.


    Seeing this scene, Leonard Churchill murmured, “It can even extract ‘fear’ from within monsters, what exactly does the New King of Orlan intend to do?”
