Chapter 1219 The Diverted “Star Coins”
In the distance, Claude held the [Holy Grail], and seeing this scene, a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
He raised his fingertip.
Crack——!!
A thick bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, instantly shattering the petrified old city lord into pieces of flesh scattered across the ground.
The golden scepter fell onto the ancient stone bricks, emitting a humming sound, rolling forward along the uneven road.
Without the [Scepter], the old city lord was just an ordinary person, completely unable to withstand even a trace of Claude’s lightning power.
After borrowing the power of the [Holy Grail] to instantly kill the old city lord, Claude turned to look at the two disheveled agents in front of him, whose faces had become extremely ugly.
In terms of direct combat power, the two of them were no match for Claude to begin with, and now that he had seized the [Holy Grail] first, their chances of winning were extremely slim.
“C…Claude, this is all a misunderstanding…” one of the agents swallowed his saliva, forcing a smile at the corner of his mouth,
“Look, even if you kill us now, you’ll only gain two corpses… but there are more than a dozen people out there searching for the [Holy Grail].
If they join forces, even with the [Holy Grail], you might not win. If you spare us, we can help you set a trap to kill them, and you can gain a large number of sacrifices at once…”
“Yes, we may not be good at direct combat, but we’re experts at schemes and tricks!”
“We can really help you!”
Hearing their almost pleading tone, Claude remained completely unmoved.
He glanced at the [Holy Grail] in his hand and calmly said, “Now that I have the [Holy Grail], even if all dozen of them come at once, they won’t be my match… To me, your only value is becoming sacrifices.”
Slash——!!
Dense lightning crashed down from the sky, like a forest of lightning, instantly engulfing the two agents.
Claude didn’t use the [Holy Grail], after all, each time this divine artifact was used, it consumed the life force he had collected. Instead, his physical body transformed into lightning, overwhelmingly powerful as he charged directly into the lightning forest to battle with the two agents.
At this moment.
Below the ancient well that had been reduced to ruins, the forms of three stone statues slowly emerged from nothingness.
They raised their heads, looking at the continuous thundering lightning in the sky,
“Good, things are developing as we predicted…”
“The life force of those agents is far more abundant than ordinary people. Just let the [Holy Grail] absorb a bit more, and it will be completely fulfilled.”
The central stone statue didn’t speak, just silently gazing at the sky, as if searching for something.
Finally, its gaze slightly focused.
In a corner of the dark night sky, a faint blue light gently flickered, easily overlooked if not carefully observed.
If one flew up to the sky and looked closely, one could see it was a spinning star coin.
It was in the high sky, jumping and rotating while moving toward the battlefield below, like an interested spectator gradually approaching the performance stage.
“It’s the [Star Coin],” the central statue spoke. “It was indeed drawn here.”
“The [Star Coin] loves negative emotions like anger and despair. The betrayal and slaughter among these agents suits its taste,” another statue said.
“The [Star Coin] is very cautious. It’s too far from us now, and acting rashly might startle it and scare it away. Let’s wait until it gets closer before capturing it.”
“Alright.”
The three stone statues simultaneously gazed at the [Star Coin] that was continuously approaching in the sky, like hunters waiting for their prey to draw near.
As the [Star Coin] descended, the three stone statues trembled slightly, seemingly ready to act at any moment. But just then, the rotating [Star Coin] in the sky seemed to sense something and suddenly changed direction, “looking” toward somewhere outside the city-state.
Its rotation speed increased slightly, its form flickered, and it transformed into a light blue streak, instantly disappearing without a trace.
The three stone statues were simultaneously stunned.
“The [Star Coin] left? How is that possible?”
“The battle here isn’t over yet. It’s no longer interested in the negative emotions here? How could this be…”
“It’s not that it’s not interested,” the central statue said after a moment of silence. “I think it saw a more attractive ‘stage’ and was drawn away.”
“Besides here, where else could have so many negative emotions?” one statue asked in confusion.
The central statue didn’t answer. It slightly turned its head, looking in the direction the [Star Coin] had departed, gazing at somewhere outside the city-state.
…
Dried Oasis.
More than ten distinctly different divine ruin fluctuations collided with each other, producing thunderous roars.
Lin Qiye stood at the edge of the oasis, calmly observing the chaotic battlefield before him.
Under Wangcai’s deliberate guidance, the suspicion and doubt Lin Qiye had planted in the hearts of the many agents erupted completely. Under the pressure of the life countdown and the temptation of the [Holy Grail], everyone fell into madness, beginning to view each other as sacrifices while continuously approaching the golden light in the high sky.
Everyone wanted to obtain the [Holy Grail], and no one wanted others to get it.
Once this “supreme” level divine artifact fell into the hands of an agent, the battle situation would be completely rewritten, presenting a crushing situation.
“That Persian mythology fire god agent has good strength… but unfortunately, he’s too conspicuous and was directly surrounded and attacked.”
“The few agents lingering around still want to wait and see. If they don’t act now, they’ll completely lose their chance…”
“As expected of the fourth-ranked member of the [Ten Imperial Guards], this Vishnu agent Prakash indeed has something.”
“…”
Lin Qiye observed the battlefield while silently analyzing the situation in his mind.
No matter how these agents fought and killed each other, none came to trouble Lin Qiye. They even tacitly avoided the area where Lin Qiye was located. This was both a gesture of goodwill and a form of protection.
Lin Qiye’s identity as a prophet was, in everyone’s eyes, their guarantee of leaving this place alive.
As time passed, more than half of the agents in the melee had been killed or injured. Prakash, who had been quietly moving around the edge of the battlefield, finally began to exert his power. With his terrifying strength, he broke through the encirclement and approached the golden light in the high sky.
At this moment, he could vaguely see that it was a golden wine flask.
The [Holy Grail]… shouldn’t it be a cup?
A trace of doubt flashed through Prakash’s mind.
But soon, he cast this question aside. A wine flask and a cup aren’t that different; perhaps in the culture of Uruk, this object was a special vessel categorized as a “cup.”
Prakash’s spiritual power surged forth, his millstone-like palm smashed the skulls of two more agents, and he directly reached out to grab the golden wine flask!
