Leonard Churchill had always felt a mysterious sense of familiarity with the archer.
It was as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Later, when he played dead so successfully, it was thanks to the archer’s arrows that diverted the monsters away from him.
At that time, Leonard guessed that the archer must truly know him.
He didn’t have many friends to begin with.
After giving it some thought, the only person he knew who was below the Fourth Tier and had such strength was Camilla.
It had been a long time since he’d seen her, and it surprised him that she would appear in the Alternate Dimension.
Moreover, Tracy Garcia’s mother had specifically instructed him to enter this time; perhaps she had known all along.
After all, Camilla’s true identity was that of a princess among the Orlan Remnants.
Perhaps this involved some secrets unknown to others.
Now, seeing the familiar power of the Ice Law revealed in that punch, Leonard confirmed that it was indeed his old friend.
He thought that the reason Camilla had not revealed her identity earlier must be due to some concerns.
Or maybe there was something else.
She didn’t know how to face him, her old friend.
After all, at the Rose Manor, Leonard had witnessed Camilla’s mother die in the siege by the Lionheart family.
The hysteria of that grief was still fresh in his memory.
Having her life turned upside down, Camilla was naturally cold, probably never again able to find joy in this world.
Old friends reunited, Leonard wanted to talk.
But now was not the time for reminiscing.
…
“Thud!”
The sneak attack from the cloaked figure behind him came out of nowhere.
But judging by his malicious tactics, he had intended it to be a fatal blow.
He just hadn’t expected Camilla to be so strong, managing to block the attack.
Seeing that things were not going well, the cloaked figure hastily retreated.
Only then did the three of them get a clear look at the hunched figure shrouded in intense Undead Air.
Leonard’s pupils constricted as he realized the man’s identity, “Hunchbacked Old Cook?”
He had encountered Old Cook several times while undercover in the Silver Moon Sect, and was fairly familiar with him.
Seeing this hunched old man before him now, knowing the distinctive sinister air of the Grave Diggers, wasn’t this that same person?
Leonard had thought that the attacker might be some “big shot” who entered this secret passage,
but he didn’t expect it to be someone from the Silver Moon Sect!
At the same time, a question arose in his mind: “Huh, that’s odd, how did this guy get in here?”
….
Leonard was certain that Old Cook had not followed them all the way here.
Having been ambushed earlier, it was clear he had been here for some time.
With that in mind, the only possibility was that Old Cook had come in with that “big shot.”
But for the three of them, even with all the unique information and Noah Wright’s special abilities, finding this place was not easy…
Yet Old Cook had arrived here first.
How did he manage that?
It was simply not possible through normal means.
A thought flashed through Leonard’s mind, and he suddenly realized, “No, that’s not right! This guy is not part of the human camp, he’s a ‘defector’!”
He rapidly understood one thing: not all adventurers entering the Alternate Dimension were from the human camp.
This situation was not uncommon in Alternate Dimensions like “Camp Mode” and “Competitive Mode,” where upon entry, adventurers could be part of two or even several hostile camps.
Both the Silver Moon Sect and the Demon Clan worship the same Ancient God — ‘Master of Dreams and Pleasure’ Arachne.
Due to his faith, it’s highly likely that Old Cook’s source of information was a spy from the Demon Camp within Ironforge City!
The missions he received were also different from the others.
This could also explain why Old Cook managed to arrive here ahead of that “big shot”!
The reason he took action now was probably because he didn’t want anyone to spoil his plans.
He meant to eliminate these inconvenient individuals, but he hadn’t expected them to be so powerful.
…
Having understood this, Leonard suddenly felt his thoughts clear.
However, watching the Hunchbacked Old Cook retreat steadily under Camilla’s hand, he couldn’t help muttering, “The strength of these Silver Moon Disciples is truly exaggerating…”
The destructive force from the punch exchanged just now was beyond what a typical Third Tier card master could achieve.
And not long ago, he was only at the Second Tier.
But his old friend had never been disappointing in combat, so Leonard wasn’t too worried.
What concerned him more was the difficulty of the scenario itself.
Glancing at the gravestones, since Old Cook had appeared to obstruct them, what lay beyond must be something that couldn’t be disturbed.
What the enemy wanted to prevent, was precisely what they needed to do.
Their goal suddenly became clear.
In a flash, Camilla’s entire body suddenly condensed into threads of cold aura, then she dissipated into the cold air.
Upon looking again, she had already appeared several dozen meters away, delivering a punch to Old Cook.
This time behind Camilla, the Demon God’s Phantom emerged once more, and that punch enveloped with Demonic Power directly turned Old Cook into shattered ice on the ground.
But Leonard knew Old Cook wouldn’t be killed so easily, and without hesitation, he exchanged a glance with Mushroomhead Noah Wright and rushed towards the passage behind the tombstones.
Leonard had completely transformed into his Werewolf form, running at a speed swift as a specter.
In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at a vast cavern.
Upon reaching the place, Leonard immediately knew why Old Cook had tried to attack them just now, because there was a Hexagram Array emitting light here!
Leonard had seen the Demon Camp’s array in Outpost Battle before, and upon seeing the runes lighting up on the array, he instantly knew what it was, “A spatial teleportation array!”
