No matter who else got their hands on the Holy Grail, Leonard Churchill was never going to be able to drink from the Holy Water.
So, he was bound to die.
Camilla clearly understood everything, yet she proceeded anyway.
And it was precisely as Enlightenment dawned that an overwhelming sense of invisible pressure attacked, as if a grand tomb had been sealed off by an unseen dome, and the sense of impending death instantly oppressed everyone’s heart.
With a flicker of his peripheral vision, Leonard saw a clump of black fog swirling around a nearby Heroic Statue, which quickly coalesced into an Undead Knight, exuding killing intent and wrapped in the flames of Hellfire.
All of a sudden, it was as if the epic hero from a hundred years ago had climbed out from his grave, a terrifying undead power pressing down so heavily that everyone within the tomb was struggling to breathe.
Camilla, with her heightened senses, was even quicker than Leonard to perceive the impending danger.
Sensing a horrific creature appearing behind her, with its killing intent locked onto her, she chose not to dodge, but instead extended the Holy Grail.
Her words were still at the tip of her tongue when Leonard’s pupils suddenly constricted, and the word “Watch out!” didn’t even have a chance to be uttered.
The crisis had already arrived.
Everyone had underestimated the monster’s strength.
Even for Camilla, who could withstand the might of a Fourth Tier A-class Catastrophe head-on, now seemed so pale in comparison.
At that moment, Leonard watched as strands of Gravitational Force lined around Camilla’s body.
Suddenly, a lance shrouded in black flames burst forth from her chest like lightning.
Blood was actually visible!
Camilla’s Elemental body had been seriously damaged?
The lance pierced through her chest, and fierce flames continued to burn her body.
Camilla, unable to hold back any longer, spilled blood from her lips and in an instant, her entire being dissolved into a mist, and the Holy Grail slipped from her grasp.
It was only then that everyone had a clear view of the monster.
Everyone’s expression changed in shock.
[Hell’s Knight・Dragon Hawk Garen]
Description: Fourth Tier S-class Rule-based Catastrophe; A hundred years ago, the hero Garen decapitated the Hell Lord, Dragon Hawk Sane, the will of the hero and the residual Magical Power of the demon’s body resulted in this Undead Creature; The monster possesses part of the combat power from both sides before they died; It also guards the Xismark Holy Grail; The hero’s consciousness never fades, guarding forever.
….
“An S-class Catastrophe!”
Leonard, seeing this, his face became extremely troubled.
Although he guessed that the monster was definitely formidable, he was still somewhat surprised by the “S” tier.
An S-class Catastrophe is an existence within the spatial Rules; in normal circumstances, it was impossible to slay.
This could almost be deemed a dead end.
Just like in the early days of the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth in the lower-level Alternate Dimension, the mere Second Tier S-class Catastrophe “Secret Keeper” had annihilated Sinless City’s Lord Stan Miller and his elite troops.
Facing such a monster, strength is irrelevant.
Strength only increases your chances of survival.
It is not a guarantee of getting through.
Leonard, seeing Camilla severely wounded by a single strike, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Luckily, it wasn’t a fatal blow.
A hundred meters away, amidst a swirling Cold aura, Camilla’s figure appeared once again.
Now that they knew they were facing an S-class Catastrophe, the last resort was to avoid its sharp edges.
Yet, she showed no signs of dodging, and as she reformed her body, the Spell was already cast: “Three Heavy Frost Realm Doors!”
The spot where her body had dissolved suddenly erupted with intense cold, and before the Undead Knight could withdraw its lance, the chill quickly turned into thick layers of ice.
Three consecutive layers of ice, each deeper in color than the last, solidly encased the knight within.
This move trapped the Death Knight, but it did not bring Leonard any joy.
Dealing with an S-class Catastrophe wasn’t going to be so easy.
He was wholly aware of why Camilla was doing this, all to provide him with cover!
This tacit understanding seemed to have been there since the first time they met at the “407 Abnormal Creature Research Institute.”
The Holy Grail was falling through mid-air, and all eyes present were focused on it.
Even with the monster eagerly watching, Prince Sane still dashed towards it, hoping to snatch the Holy Grail for himself.
The Grand Knight’s charge was also incredibly fast, closing a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
However, surprisingly, it was a steady hand that caught the Holy Grail and held it firmly.
The Holy Flame of Kingship did not scorch that hand.
Witnessing this, Sane was once again speechless.
He never expected that there would be a third person here who could resist the erosion of the Laws upon the Holy Grail of Kingship!
How could this be?
This guy… could he also possess the Life Pattern of Kingship, or perhaps cultivate the Law of Kingship?
At the same time, his eyes burst with Killing Intent.
In the Delaney Dynasty, anyone contending with him for the Holy Grail was an enemy!
….
Leonard did not understand why he was able to pick up the Holy Grail.
But at that moment, he had no other choice.
Now, his only chance for survival rested upon the Holy Water; seeing the cup fall down, he simply caught it.
Thinking that even if he were burned, he would gulp down the Holy Water.
But to his surprise, it went smoothly.
Without much thought, Leonard immediately poured it into his mouth.
The sound of gulping, “glug glug,” was especially clear in the cold tomb.
Once the Holy Water was swallowed, an instant coolness swept over his brain, and his entire murky Soul felt refreshed.
Leonard felt as if his drained body, cracked and parched like dry land, suddenly received nourishment, bursting once more with vitality.
It was a healing power more intense than that of the “Curse of Immortality” Secret Skill.
Leonard couldn’t describe it, but he guessed that the Holy Water contained the power of High-level Laws.
The effect was such that, almost instantly, he felt a sense of “all maladies eradicated,” as though he might lift off the ground in wonder, extraordinarily miraculous.
