It was so similar to the feeling he had over a decade ago.

However, before Reuel Bible could let out the raging power in his heart, he saw the dead body’s finger twitching suddenly!

Huh… not dead?

How could he survive that attack?

But seeing the blood from that finger smeared on the Light and Dark Holy Nail, Reuel Bible realized something and hastily retreated.

The judges around him noticed his behavior, suspecting that something was off.

But they didn’t understand what it meant.

Their target was dead and they had to verify the corpse’s condition immediately.

But when they were about to approach, they suddenly felt a terrifying aura of a high-level being permeating throughout the area.

“Not good!”

The group of five men’s faces changed drastically.

Although they were not sure what entity could emit such an aura, the potent fear of impending death was palpable.

They realized that something terrifying was about to emerge.

All five rapidly retreated.

The man with the goatee, while backing off, swiftly drew out a card and a cloak-like object made of cowhide material instantly enveloped him.

Just then, the blood runes on the Light and Dark Holy Nail spread out, and an angel with wings, blindfolded eyes, and a body enveloped with light and dark aura shockingly appeared on the scene.

Though the squad of five retreated swiftly, one man in a suit was still too close to Leonard Churchill.

The instant the angel materialized, sand-like white material was drawn out from the man’s head.

Regardless of fourth or fifth tier, they instantly died in the presence of the weeping angel.

Meanwhile, Leonard Churchill, who was previously lying on the ground, slowly rose.

He looked at the shattered card in his hand, exhaled deeply, and murmured somewhat regretfully, “I’ve died again…”

This was the special “Substitute Strawman” card he obtained in the war mode in the Alternate Dimension.

The effect of this card was to block the host from a fatal attack after binding.

He had never had a chance to use it before, but it just came into use just now.

The angel and the scarecrow card were his two lifelines. Now both of them were revealed.

Leonard Churchill felt strangely empty.

Now, without any trump cards left, if he were to die, he would truly perish.

He looked at the floating weeping angel spirit beside him with a trace of puzzlement in his eyes.

There was no prompt to exempt from the curse?

The angel’s soul-draining ability was a curse, he himself had the “X-711 Rune Jar” and could exempt from it.

That was one certainty confirmed back at Thunderbolt Fortress.

And it was the most critical reason why Leonard dared to summon the angel.

Yet to his surprise, there was no enlightenment now?

Does it imply, the angel did not harm him?

Leonard immediately thought back to the events in the Underground Palace. The angel’s remains back then did not attack him either.

He found it strange.

What had happened to him that the weeping angel stopped attacking him?

Several doubts fluttered through Leonard’s mind.

But now the angel was blindfolded, and as long as he didn’t get too close, there was minimal danger.

Upon thinking up to this point, Leonard suddenly flashed a wicked smile.

Since they had come knocking, he might as well take the chance to solve the problem completely.

He suddenly yelled out, “Angel, open your eyes!”

….

Reuel Bible, who was not far away, was quite startled watching this scene.

Was the angel not attacking Leonard?

However, before he could ponder, he heard the ominous yell.

Although it reeked of murderous intent, Reuel understood his intentions and couldn’t help but remark in his mind, “This guy!”

Reuel once again quickly closed his eyes, turned around, and ran without hesitation.

Since Leonard’s information was leaked by his assistant Ada, the events at Thunderbolt Fortress must be known to the higher-ups at the bureau already.

So, the info that anyone who sees the weeping angel opening its eyes would die was surely also known to the judges there.

Leonard’s yell was a warning to everyone, the angel was about to open its eyes.

Aided by Reuel Bible’s perfect performance, everyone in that group of four realized that if they didn’t run, they would die.

Just like the guy who suddenly died on the spot earlier!

However…

Reuel Bible knew that Leonard Churchill probably had no idea how to make the angel open its eyes.

But no one dared to risk it.

Exactly!

After Leonard roared, Reuel closed his eyes and ran. The four who were still alive were scared out of their wits and turned to flee without hesitation.

Faced with such high-level beings, anyone without specially made defensive equipment would surely die.

This was the best part about using his voice to scare them away.

While Leonard stood with the angel, no one dared to look back and see whether the angel had opened its eyes.

Seeing his loud shout successfully scare away the enemy, Leonard also breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked up at the unmoved angel and chuckled bitterly, “It’s useless.”

The angel seemed to be completely unconscious, just floating in the air.

Nevertheless, Leonard didn’t dare to stay for too long.

Because by now, he could see a firework exploding in the sky in the form of an “X.”

This was the flare signal of X Bureau’s gathering!

The four guys from earlier realized they couldn’t handle it and called for reinforcement.

A lot of X Bureau’s experts had come this time, along with a few teams specifically tasked with recovering the angel’s remains.

Among those people might be someone capable of handling the weeping angel’s divine soul.

Leonard could not control the weeping angel, nor did he have Elder Clinton’s method of containment.

Having scared away his enemies, he should have escaped immediately.

However, considering something, he lifted the Holy Nail in his hand and asked the angel, “If you’re willing to go with me, I’ll take you with me.”

There were several major forces vying for the angel’s remains in the ruins, and Leonard felt that whoever got them, it wouldn’t necessarily turn out well.

He felt that at least in his hands, the angel wouldn’t be subject to peculiar treatment.

Moreover, the weeping angel didn’t attack him, causing Leonard to feel there was something special about himself.

As if sensing this goodwill.

The angel that had been floating in the air suddenly came down and then incorporated itself into the Light and Dark Holy Nail.

“Huh?”

Seeing this, Leonard could not conceal his surprise.

The blood symbol had already been destroyed when it was deciphered earlier. He had merely been trying it out and hadn’t expected the angel would really agree to go with him.

Without thinking too much, he stashed away the angel and dashed in a certain direction.

…

Maybe out of fear of the angel, those Judging Office people had kept their distance.

There was also Reuel holding them down.

This facilitated Leonard’s escape.

He ran as fast as he could, deliberately choosing areas with ongoing battles to take advantage of the chaos in delaying his pursuers.

Summer Shepherd City wasn’t too big, and he was about to escape the ruins.

Just at this moment, an unexpected incident happened again.

While he was running, a Ghost Claw suddenly emerged from the ground beneath Leonard’s feet and grabbed him.

“I’ve been ambushed!”

His body was thrown up into the air. Before he could understand what had happened, he felt a looseness around his waist, and the Holy Nail was snatched away by somebody.

The person who ambushed him even had the audacity to slap him on the back.

Leonard felt as if his bones were jumbled up. He almost burst dead on the spot.

“A top-tier powerhouse!”

Leonard immediately understood that the person who ambushed him was able to completely overpower him because he was of a significantly higher tier.

Just as he thought he was about to die, he realized that the person only severely injured him and then… left?

In his shock, Leonard caught a glimpse of that shadowy figure in the corner of his eye. Wasn’t it the mysterious person from the Blacksmith Shop?

He was instantly confused.

Why would he attack now after deciding to help earlier?

Why did he steal the Holy Nail and the angel?

But why didn’t he kill Leonard while he was at it?
