Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 655 - 218 Third Tier [Giant Dragon Hunter]_4
Chapter 655: Chapter 218 Third Tier [Giant Dragon Hunter]_4
Giant Dragon Hunter
Quality: Gold
Explanation: A Third Tier Profession Card exclusively for the Dragon Slayer Beowulf; fusion requires a minimum strength of 60, agility, physique… other attributes not less than 55; beast transformation tolerance not less than 15; after fusion, ‘Dragon Hunter’s Power’ is gained, with a 30-41% increase in strength, 18-27% increase in full attributes related to flesh; subsequent to fusion, one gains a substantial increase in Full Elemental Curse Power and a continuous growth limit in the direction of flesh and blood; abilities gained include Iron Shell (physical tenacity), Forbidden Magic (elemental resistance), False Dragon’s Might (spiritual strength and resistance), Gluttony (vitality and blood, healing, and body absorption), and Dark Mystery (unknown dark energy).
The invested materials have all been utilized to their utmost potentials.
The Dragon Descendant Material, as the main component, naturally obtained dragon-related enhancements, especially in strength, which is simply exaggerated; for the mainstream Third Tier Profession Cards currently on the market, a 25% increase in attributes would already be considered top-notch; this gold card, however, begins with a floor of 30% increase in strength, with the increases in other attributes also within the top-notch range.
And the Split-mouthed Woman’s Scissors are the finishing touch, this Brilliant Gold Material triggered the spiritual traits related to the Dragon Descendant Material, significantly augmenting the ‘False Dragon’s Might’ entry;
Furthermore, the [Advanced Dark Matter Crystals] obtained from the relics of Summer Shepherd City, this element material that was never seen before, also resulted in a new entry in the finished Profession Card: “Dark Mystery”…
Leonard Churchill is very satisfied with all these attributes.
But at the same time, he is also astonished.
His own physique is already so strong, and the materials he put in probably aren’t as powerful as those from the ancient times; yet he feels he’s barely meeting the fusion requirements.
Just how exaggerated must the physique of those ancient card masters have been?
Leonard Churchill acquired the card and started to fuse with it right there.
In the entire Sinless City, there’s no place safer than Master Merlin’s laboratory.
The card disintegrates, and the Extraordinary Traits fuse into the body.
The familiar sensation comes once again.
The dam-like energy washes over his body once more.
But the stronger the Extraordinary Traits of the Profession Card, the greater the pain endured during advancement.
And with the Third Tier being a significant bottleneck, the body must endure several times more pain than it did at Second Tier.
Pain, burning, bone fracturing, muscle tearing…
And because he’s fusing with Dragon Descendant Material, it’s as if there’s a trapped Fire Dragon inside him constantly ramming and trying to break out, breathing out flames and scorching his body, wanting to break free from this cage…
But having already advanced twice before, this third time, Leonard Churchill didn’t perceive anything unexpected.
The pain was completely within the range that his will could bear.
The only difference was the comprehension of “Curse Seal”.
The Curse Seal is like armor for the flesh, preventing it from being blown apart by the violent Extraordinary Traits.
The entire fusion process was painful but also filled with a strong anticipation of transformation.
…
Two days later, the surging Extraordinary Traits within finally calmed down.
Leonard Churchill opened his eyes from his meditation.
The first thing he felt was that swollen sensation of engorged muscles.
Looking at his completely renewed stats panel, he took a deep breath and murmured, “Finally, Third Tier…”
With a high compatibility custom-made Profession Card, the fusion proceeded without any incident, and the advancement succeeded.

“So strong!”
Leonard Churchill’s eyes sparkled with life.
Witnessing the changes in his body after the fusion, he truly felt the tremendous enhancement brought by the Profession Card.
The effects of the Dragon Descendant Material were fully realized.
Full attributes soared from 60+ to 80+.
The most exaggerated was “strength,” which surged straight to 90+.
This almost reached the theoretical upper limit of the 30-41% increase of the Giant Dragon Hunter Profession Card.
Simply perfect.
And after progressing to the next tier, a bunch of new profession entries were added as well.
Most importantly, the tier cap was lifted.
Leonard clearly felt that sense of “hunger” to become stronger, rather than the “satiation” from the Second Tier bottleneck he experienced before.
Not only had his body become stronger, but standing at a higher tier, Leonard also clearly felt his comprehension of the Universe Law had ascended to a new level.
It was a completely different experience.
No wonder the gap between tiers had such a huge impact on combat power.
At this moment, he truly felt it.
A Third Tier physique and a Second Tier physique were as different as an iron sword from a wooden one, worlds apart.
Leonard looked at this and couldn’t help but smile, “So this is what Third Tier is like…”
Now that he had successfully progressed, he could also try the matter of “Upper State Prison” that he had been considering.
….
He had already stayed in the laboratory for a few days, and the master had been busy the whole time.
Leonard didn’t have the nerve to continue imposing on him.
He walked into the lab, looked at the busy figure, and called out, “Master Merlin, thank you for your help this time…”
Merlin turned to look at Leonard, as if he had just remembered the presence of another person in the lab, paused for a moment, then praised, “Oh, you’ve successfully advanced. The loading went very well…”
Leonard respectfully said, “It’s also thanks to the Profession Card you crafted, Master.”
“Heh…”
Merlin laughed noncommittally.
He knew all too well just how extreme the attributes of the Profession Card he personally crafted were.
But not just anyone could fuse with it.
Having such great results, the fusor was certainly outstanding himself.
Leonard had come to bid farewell and didn’t want to take up more of Master Merlin’s time.
But just as he was about to leave, something suddenly occurred to him, and he ventured to ask, “Master Merlin, I’m planning to make a trip to ‘Upper State Prison.’ Do you have any insights about that place?”
Considering Master Merlin’s status, and having been in Sinless City for so many years, he probably wasn’t unaware of the Gluttony Breathing Technique.
Lord Nine Brown had avoided discussing it before.
Perhaps this one wouldn’t?
But Leonard was mindful not to make it difficult for the other, and didn’t explicitly state his purpose.
However, Master Merlin answered very directly to this roundabout inquiry.
Upon hearing the name “Upper State Prison,” as if recalling something, he looked at Leonard with a profound gaze and said outright, “I know what you want to ask. But I cannot give you any answers.”
Upon hearing this, Leonard didn’t say more and decisively bowed to take his leave, “My apologies for the presumption, Elder.”
The master clearly knew, but still said nothing.
Meaning, that “big shot” locked up in the prison really had a special status.
At this thought, Leonard didn’t feel he had encountered an insurmountable obstacle; on the contrary, an intense curiosity arose in his heart.
He bowed and said, “Master Merlin, I shall take my leave now.”
Master Merlin, hearing this, nodded his head, then turned back to his own tasks.
But as he turned away, Leonard failed to see a hint of a smile fleeting across the old man’s face as he muttered to himself, “That old eccentric, he should still be alive, right…”
