Chapter 1004 -309: Recognition from Top Immortal Aegis Animals_2
Could something have gone wrong with the steps?
Sophia Jones looked at Leonard Churchill’s expression, her eyes dimming with remorse, “I’m sorry…”
Her sacrifice had failed, but it wasn’t just about not being recognized by the Immortal Aegis Animals.
It was about cutting off their chances of survival.
Now they were being targeted not only by people from the Southern Continent, but the White Family surely wouldn’t let them off the hook either.
Having completely offended both groups, once they left the Relics, they would inevitably be hunted down.
Only with the recognition of a High Tier Immortal Aegis Animal could Sophia Jones have the strength to stand up to a Seventh Grade, otherwise, they hardly had any chance of winning.
“Aunt Jones, there’s nothing to apologize for…”
Leonard Churchill responded with a chuckle.
Now it seemed likely that something had gone wrong with the procedure.
Which was understandable.
After all, “God Stealer” Sophia Jones had changed her Professional Sequence mid-way.
Normally, the “jar” Leonard Churchill found in the Mithril Vein was intended for a descendant of the White Family.
The White Family ancestor who left the jar probably assumed that, as a descendant, one would naturally know the Secret Skill passed down in the White Family.
But Sophia Jones hadn’t known any of the White Family’s Secret Skills before.
It was essentially like having no foundation in Sword Skill but being given a Mystery Sword Code—it was bound to be like building castles in the air.
An error was to be expected.
Leonard Churchill, however, lamented the waste of materials.
He merely wondered where the error had occurred.
Given the situation, he did not think it was Sophia Jones’s fault.
If anything, it was just bad luck.
…
Sophia Jones could clearly see that Leonard Churchill genuinely didn’t mind, even the impending Death Place seemed to leave him unfazed.
But since the error was on her part, she couldn’t get past the guilt.
Leonard Churchill, though, appeared to skip right over it, saying directly, “Aunt Jones, get ready. We’re going to break out of here.”
The two could stay in the Central Control Room for a while without any immediate issues.
But if they lingered too long, there was no guarantee that other experts from the Southern Continent wouldn’t make another attempt.
Now, while the White Family and Heman’s Thorny Snake Corps were all severely injured, was the best chance to break through.
Saying this, he revealed his backup plan, “I have another ally. If everything goes well, he should be nearby waiting to assist us. Together, we stand a fair chance.”
“Ah?”
Upon hearing this, Sophia Jones’s eyes shone with shocked delight: So there was a backup plan?
But given the current situation, they at least knew they had one Seventh Grade enemy who was versed in the Secret Space Skill.
Unless Barre Shepherd himself came, who else could save them?
Leonard Churchill knew what she was wondering and explained, “I met a high-ranking member of the Rebel Dragon Army from the Southern Continent before, quite powerful…”
He briefly mentioned Aragon’s situation.
In the Crystal Ball, they could only see an empty cage, the Toad that had been imprisoned was now nowhere to be seen.
Aragon was a “Hero”; if he had escaped, he would definitely find a way to come to their aid.
Leonard Churchill had no doubt about this.
Understanding his confidence, Sophia Jones realized where his assurance came from.
If they indeed had a Seventh Grade on their side, their chances of winning significantly improved.
Yet…
Sophia Jones, looking at Leonard Churchill, saw a glimpse of something different in his profound pupils: This guy always managed to bring surprises.
…
Leonard Churchill crammed everything that could be taken along from the Central Control Room into the Storage Space, including the Image Crystal Ball.
The two opened up all the passageways of the first and second floors of the research institute and dashed out the moment the control room opened like lightning.
They rushed all the way.
The Leech King, though unassailable, needed time to gather its tentacles.
For a High-Order Card Master who was not in an enclosed environment and understood its habits, it was not necessarily fatal.
Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones managed to charge into the first floor of the research institute quite smoothly.
The air here was filled with deadly spores, but the two in their full hazmat suits were unaffected. They took the previously planned route and easily broke through to the surface.
The surface was strewn with bodies covered with growing mushrooms; they did not pause but continued charging towards the depths of the swamp to the west.
Almost the moment they escaped, as expected, Sophia Jones suddenly tensed up, as if sensing something, and immediately conjured the Domain of Descending Gods.
Leonard Churchill also hesitated no further and fired a flare. Glancing behind at not too far away, a Space Rift dramatically appeared.
Four figures emerged from the rift.
The two leading Seventh Grades were “Black Widow” Hester, whose survival surprised even Leonard Churchill; and a bearded middle-aged man with Spatial Ability.
Two were Sixth Tier.
The fact that the Thorny Snake Corps’ Legion Commander, Heman, wasn’t here meant that he must have died in the Relics.
With just four people, the pressure was much less than expected.
Nonetheless, it was still fatal.
Leonard Churchill looked over with narrowed eyes, his attention caught by the Jar hanging on the middle-aged man’s belt, thinking, “Is the Jar on this guy…”
At that moment, Sophia Jones said with a serious tone, “Leonard Churchill, if there’s a chance, you make a run for it first. I’ll hold them off.”

Leonard Churchill shook his head.
With a Spatial Ability user present, his chances of escaping were virtually zero.
A fierce struggle was the only option.
As the two sides confronted each other, Leonard Churchill and his companion did not continue to flee.
The stern-faced foursome from the Southern Continent didn’t strike immediately either; they seemed to be waiting for something. They also wanted to see just who it was that had caused them such a heavy loss.
