Chapter 1218 – “The Holy Grail” Wishing

　　The city of Wu.

　　At the edge of the city-state.

　　In the darkened ancient well, the dark golden tall cup exuded a fantastic light, and the blood-like scarlet liquor shook within the walls of the cup, tugging at everyone’s heart and mind.

　　Claude and the others stared dead on at the [Holy Grail] floating in front of them and gulped.

　　”[Holy Grail] …… This is the [Holy Grail]?”

　　An agent muttered.

　　”The supreme wish-granting machine that can fulfill all wishes.” Joy surfaced in Claude’s eyes, “We found it!”

　　He stretched out his hand and was about to touch the surface of the [Holy Grail] that was close at hand, when at that moment, a stern cold aura flashed out from behind!

　　The back of Claude’s neck went cold, his body’s sweaty hairs stood up, and without thinking, his entire body lunged forward.

　　At the next moment, a long, ghost-colored blade silently cut across his head, cutting off a few strands of hair and at the same time, decapitating the other two agents standing beside him.

　　Heads filled with panic and incomprehension were thrown up high, blood splattered out, but were pulled by the dark golden cup floating in the center and swept into it like a stream.

　　The scarlet wine rose slightly, swirling between the smooth walls of the cup.

　　Claude came back to his senses and jerked his head back, only to see that two agents had already stood together and started sneaking up on all the agents under the ancient well.

　　The strike that nearly took Claude’s life just now was chopped out by one of the agents, and when he saw that this hand had failed to kill Claude, he frowned, and then the ghostly light around him flashed at first, sweeping towards Claude like a tsunami.

　　”Are you guys crazy?!” Claude roared angrily.

　　”Crazy? I think the ones who are crazy are you guys.” That agent laughed coldly, “Actually wanting to rely on a few divine artifacts to behead a god? Do you guys really think the gods are vegetarians?

　　Now the [Holy Grail] that can fulfill all wishes is right in front of us, as long as we kill all of you, we can make a wish to directly erase the marks of the gods in our bodies……. If we can live, who wants to go and take the risk of going against the gods?”

　　Pffff-!

　　Two blood flowers bloomed as two more agents were instantly penetrated through their chests under the attack that caught them off guard.

　　They covered their chests in pain and looked back at these two traitors behind them, their eyes filled with anger, but as their vitality rapidly drained away, this anger eventually only evolved into pain.

　　”Claude ……” One of the dying agents reached out his hand as if to beg Claude to save him, but the latter just gave him a complicated look and shook his head.

　　”Sorry, I can’t save you.”

　　Hearing these words, the hope in that agent’s eyes was completely dashed, leaving only endless despair.

　　He grabbed onto the corner of Claude’s coat and completely lost his breath.

　　In the narrow ancient well, the seven people who were originally searching for the [Holy Grail] together were now left with only three.

　　Although four agents died tragically one after another, the slightest smell of blood could not be detected within the well, and every strand of flesh and blood was devoured by the central [Holy Grail], turning into scarlet wine that shook within the walls of the cup.

　　Claude looked at the fantastic [Holy Grail], his eyes flickered for a moment, and his eyes narrowed as he looked at the two sneak attackers in front of him.

　　”Your plan was perfect, but unfortunately, you weren’t able to kill me in the first place.” Claude spoke in a cold voice, a strand of leaping thunder, flickering beneath the ancient well, and

　　”Since the original plan has failed …… then you guys, come and be my sacrifice too.”

　　The faces of the two agents immediately turned ugly.

　　Although they were all in the “Klein” realm, the Claude in front of them was the sixth ranked existence in the [Ten Imperial Former], and what he possessed was the divine ruins of the extremely destructive Thor, the God of Thunder!

　　”Grab the [Holy Grail] first! Use the [Holy Grail] against him!” One of the agents yelled.

　　The two agents struck out at the same time, grabbing at the dark golden high cup floating in the center, and Claude coldly grunted, thunder storming around his body as he swept out furiously at an astonishing speed!

　　Boom-!!!

　　A blinding light of thunder mixed with a loud roar erupted at the edge of the city-state, countless thunder tore the ancient well into pieces, and two scorched black silhouettes rose from beneath the ground.

　　Immediately afterward, Claude, who looked like the God of Thunder descending to the world, floated up from the dust with the [Holy Grail], which emitted a dreamy light, in his left hand.

　　Claude gazed at the scarlet wine shaking in the dark golden cup between his palms, and his eyes were a bit mesmerized.

　　He moved his gaze away and looked at the two agents in front of him who were in a sorry state, and sneered:

　　”With just the two of you, you also want to rob the [Holy Grail]?”

　　”You’re crazy!” One of the agents shouted, “After making such a big commotion, that old man is going to come over with the [Scepter] again, and we’ll all have to die by then!”

　　Claude’s gaze stared and turned his head to look not far away.

　　The sudden thunderstorm woke up the dormant city-state, countless residents stepped out of their houses in fear and looked in their direction, at the same time, a black dot was approaching rapidly from the direction of the city lord’s mansion.

　　Claude glanced at the [Holy Grail] in his hand, and for some reason, an unprecedented confidence rose in his heart.

　　”This time, I won’t give him the chance to use the [Scepter].”

　　He said indifferently.

　　In the distance.

　　The old city lord, dressed in a nightgown and holding the King’s [Scepter] in his hand, was rushing over.

　　His gaze fell on the figure among them that was covered in terrifying thunder, and the moment he saw what was between his palms, his face changed.

　　”Oh no, it’s the [Holy Grail]!”

　　The old city lord’s heart thumped.

　　The [Scepter] could forcibly commandeer other people’s power, but the range of effect was not wide, and if one wanted to siphon off the spiritual power of Claude and the others across the sky, they would have to be within at least one kilometer.

　　Normally, this distance of one kilometer was nothing to the old city lord, after all, the vast majority of battles happened at close range, even if someone attacked from afar with spiritual power or divine power, as long as the attack came within one kilometer, it could be forcibly requisitioned with the [Scepter].

　　But he never expected that Claude would get the [Holy Grail]!

　　The [Holy Grail] was the Supreme Wishing Machine, and there was no distance limitation.

　　And the wishes invoked by the [Holy Grail] were not part of any form of energy, even the [Scepter] could not be forcibly requisitioned.

　　The old city lord clenched his teeth, and was about to speed up to catch a rush into the one-kilometer range, when under the night sky in the distance, the figure covered in thunder had slowly raised the [Holy Grail] in his hand.

　　”Make a wish, human petrification.” Claude spoke faintly.

　　As his words fell, the scarlet wine shaking in the dark golden tall cup decreased by a hair.

　　At the same time, a shimmering light flashed from the surface of the [Holy Grail], some kind of mysterious and incomparable power swirled out, and the old city lord who was several kilometers away only felt his body stiffen, and his entire body was fixed in place.

　　Grayish-white stones filled his body rapidly, and he looked at his rapidly petrifying body in dismay, his eyes filled with horror and despair.

　　Three seconds later, a stone statue of an old man holding a [Scepter] appeared on the stone brick streets of the city-state.
