Chapter 1219 – The “Star Coin” that was lured away

　　Claude, who held the [Holy Grail] in his hand from afar, saw this scene and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.

　　He raised his fingertips.

　　Ka-ching-!

　　A thick thunderbolt struck down from the air, instantly splitting the petrified old city lord, into pieces of flesh all over the ground.

　　The golden-colored scepter fell onto the ancient stone tiles, emitting a buzzing sound, and rolled down the uneven path, grumbling towards the front.

　　The old city lord who had lost his [Scepter] was nothing more than an ordinary man, unable to withstand even a trace of Claude’s thunder power.

　　After borrowing the power of the [Holy Grail] and killing the old city lord with a single strike, Claude turned his head to look at the two agents in front of him who were in a sorry state, and the latter’s face was already unsightly.

　　In terms of frontal combat power, the two of them were not Claude’s opponents, and now that the other party had also grabbed the [Holy Grail] one step ahead of time, their chances of winning had been slim to none.

　　”K …… Claude, this matter is a misunderstanding ……” One of the agents swallowed his saliva, the corner of his mouth squeezed out a smile.

　　”Look ah, even if you kill us now, you can only harvest two corpses …… but the ones who went out to look for the [Holy Grail] are more than a dozen people.

　　If they join forces, even if you take the [Holy Grail], you may not be able to win, you let us go, we help you set up a situation to kill them, you can get a large number of sacrifices in one breath ……”

　　”Yeah, we can’t fight head on, but we’re a good hand with plotting and scheming!”

　　”We can help you, really!”

　　Listening to the almost pleading tone of the two, Claude was not moved in the slightest.

　　He looked at the [Holy Grail] in his hand and spoke calmly, “Now that I have the [Holy Grail], even if a dozen of them come together, they won’t be my opponents …… To me, the only value you guys have is to become sacrifices.”

　　Piercing la–!

　　Dense thunderbolts smashed down from the sky like a forest of thunderbolts, instantly drowning the two agents’ figures.

　　Claude did not use the [Holy Grail], after all, every time he used this artifact, what was consumed was the collected life force, so he turned his physical body into thunder, and powerfully and incomparably rushed directly into the Forest of Thunder Lights, and battled with the two agents.

　　At this moment.

　　Beneath the ancient well that had fallen into ruins, the figures of three stone statues slowly outlined themselves from nothingness.

　　They raised their heads and looked towards the successive booms of thunder in the sky, and

　　”Not bad, things are going as we expected ……”

　　”The life force of those few agents is far more vigorous than ordinary people, as long as we let the [Holy Grail] absorb some more, it will be completely complete.”

　　The central stone statue didn’t say anything, it just silently gazed at the sky as if it was searching for something.

　　Finally, its gaze condensed slightly.

　　In a certain corner of the pitch-black night sky, a light blue glow flickered gently, and if one did not look closely, it would be easy to overlook it.

　　If one flew up into the sky and fixed its eyes on it, one could see that it was a star coin that was spinning.

　　It was high above the sky, jumping and rotating while moving towards the melee battlefield below, as if it was a spectator who had gotten excited and was getting a little bit closer to the performance stage.

　　”It’s the [Star Coin].” The central stone statue spoke, “It has indeed been lured over.”

　　”[Star Coin] likes negative emotions like anger and despair the most, these betrayals and killings between agents are very much to its liking.” Another stone statue said.

　　”[Star Coin]’s character is very cautious, it’s too far away from us now, rashly striking may scare it away, scare it away, wait for it to get closer before we catch it.”

　　”Good.”

　　The three stone statues, at the same time, gazed at the ever-approaching [Star Coin] in the sky, like a group of hunters waiting for their prey to gradually approach.

　　As the [Star Coin] dropped in height, the three stone statues trembled slightly, as if they were ready to strike at any time, but right at this moment, the [Star Coin] spinning in the sky seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly turned its direction, “looking” in a certain direction outside of the city-state.

　　The speed of its rotation accelerated a bit, and with a shake of its body, it turned into a light blue stream of light and instantly disappeared without a trace.

　　The three stone statues froze at the same time.

　　”[Star Coin] is gone? How is this possible?”

　　”The battle here isn’t over yet, and it’s not interested in the negativity here anymore? How could that be ……”

　　”It’s not disinterested.” The central stone statue was silent for a moment, “I think it was lured away because it saw a ‘stage’ that attracted it more.”

　　”Where else but here could there be so much negativity?” A stone statue asked in disbelief.

　　The central stone statue didn’t answer as it turned its head slightly, following the direction of the [Star Coin]’s departure, and looked away to somewhere outside the city-state.

　　The dry oasis.

　　A dozen distinct Divine Ruin fluctuations collided with each other, emitting loud booming sounds.

　　Lin Qiye stood at the edge of the oasis, gazing at the chaotic and incomparable battlefield in front of him with a calm demeanor.

　　Under Wang Cai’s intentional guidance, Lin Qiye’s suspicions and doubts buried in the hearts of many agents completely erupted, and under the oppressive feeling brought on by the countdown to life and the lure of the [Holy Grail], everyone fell into a frenzy and began to treat each other as sacrifices while continuously approaching the golden aura high in the sky.

　　Everyone wants to get the Holy Grail, and everyone doesn’t want the other party to get the Holy Grail.

　　Once this “supreme” level artifact fell into the hands of a certain agent, the battle would be completely rewritten, presenting a crushing situation.

　　”That Persian mythology’s Vulcan agent has good strength …… Unfortunately, he is too sharp and was directly surrounded by the crowd.”

　　”The few agents that hovered around actually wanted to wait and see, if they don’t make a move now, they will have no chance at all ……”

　　”Worthy of being the fourth ranked [Ten Mikado] guy, this Vishnu’s agent, Parkash, is indeed something.”

　　”……”

　　Lin Qiye focused on the battlefield while secretly analyzing the situation in his mind.

　　No matter how much these agents fought and killed, none of them came to find trouble with Lin Qiye, and they even tacitly avoided the area where Lin Qiye was, a gesture of goodwill and protection.

　　Lin Qiye’s identity as a prophet, in the eyes of the crowd, was a guarantee that they would get out of here alive.

　　As time passed, the crowd of agents in the melee were already more than half dead or wounded, and Parkash, who had been silently wandering around the edge of the battlefield, finally started to power up, killing his way out of the siege with his terrifying strength, and closing in all the way on the golden light high in the sky.

　　At this moment, he could vaguely make out that it was a golden wine pot.

　　[Holy Grail]…… shouldn’t it be a cup?

　　A flash of doubt flashed through Parkash’s mind.

　　But soon, he threw this doubt to the back of his mind. Wine jugs and cups are not that far apart, perhaps in the culture of the Uruk period, this thing is some kind of special vessel that is categorized as a “cup”.

　　Pakash’s spiritual energy tumbled out, and his millstone-like palm once again smashed the heads of the two agents, reaching out and grabbing at the golden wine pot!
