Chapter 1223 – Slaughtering the City
Although the life force of the few agents who died was strong and wanted to make a wish to erase their own divine mark, these sacrifices were not enough.
The [Holy Grail] still needed more lives as sacrifices.
Claude could kill those few agents as sacrifices for the [Holy Grail], that’s because they were the ones who took the initiative first, but right now these innocent residents ……
Claude was torn in place for a long time, but still closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
”Sorry, I don’t want to die ……”
He opened his eyes, his eyes flashed with a touch of determination, and his figure turned into a thunderbolt, flying rapidly towards the center of the city-state!
”It’s the intruder! The intruder is here with the [Holy Grail]!”
”He wants to use us as sacrifices!”
”He killed the old city lord! Let’s all go together!”
”……”
Claude had just landed on the ground when several of the surrounding residents opened their mouths and shouted, followed by several divine weapons whistling out!
Even after losing the King’s [Scepter] controlled by the old city lord, inside the U City, there were still a large number of divine artifacts lying dormant.
Claude’s eyes narrowed as he slowly raised the [Holy Grail] in his hand, and was about to make a wish when a muffled sound suddenly emanated from the alleyway not far away!
Clang-!
A golden ripple swept out from the shadows of the alleyway, instantly enveloping the center of Ucheng, and at the same time covering Claude, who was holding the [Holy Grail] in his hand, as well.
The moment he saw this golden ripple, Claude’s pupils suddenly contracted!
It was the King’s [Scepter]?
Claude wouldn’t recognize it wrongly, at the very beginning when they entered the King’s Treasure Trove, they, the agents, were the ones who had their spiritual power siphoned out of their bodies by this golden ripple, thus the group was captured.
But now that the old city lord had clearly been killed by him, how could anyone still be able to use the [Scepter]!
Claude looked towards the alleyway where the golden ripples had appeared, only to see a familiar figure, holding the [Scepter] in his hand, standing ghostly in the shadows.22.
No. 22 was grasping a ball of fuzzy flesh and blood in one hand and holding the [Scepter] in the other, those gloomy eyes gazing at Claude and the [Holy Grail] in his hand, the corner of his mouth hooked into a smile.
”I said …… I have the method to be able to get the [Scepter].”
As soon as 22’s words fell, the majestic realm of spiritual power transformed into light golden threads and flew out of Claude’s body, and Claude only felt his body empty, nearly falling head over heels to the ground!
Oh no!
Claude’s heart sank.
He originally thought that he had gotten the [Holy Grail] and killed the only old city lord who could control the [Scepter], and at this moment, he was already the strongest existence within the city of U. …… But he never thought that the 22nd had really controlled the [Scepter] that was left behind by the old city lord!
At this moment, he had already stepped into the effective range of the [Scepter].
Claude’s brain raced, forcing his spirit, clutching the [Holy Grail] in his hand, he was about to open his mouth and make a wish right away:
”Make a wish, the realm returns ……”
The word “return” has not yet finished, sucked away Claude’s spiritual power of the 22nd, the figure like a shock like swept out!
Lost the spiritual realm, Claude completely turned into an ordinary person holding the [Holy Grail], while No. 22, who completely absorbed Claude’s peak spiritual power of “Klein” realm, his strength skyrocketed.
Only saw No.22 raise his hand, an unprecedented lust surged from the bottom of Claude’s heart, his body was like ants crawling, endless hallucinations filled his mind in an instant, and he lost his ability to think for a short period of time.
With just this momentary pause, No. 22 had already rushed to his body.
He raised his foot with lightning speed, kicking away the [Holy Grail] between his palms, while at the same time twisting his body, his palm pierced through Claude’s chest.
Pff-!
Blood burst out, splattering on No. 22’s face, as well as the ancient stone tiles under his feet.
Claude’s consciousness gradually returned, and he stared blankly at the palm that had not entered his chest, as well as No. 22 who had an ice-cold expression, and opened his mouth with difficulty, as if he wanted to say something.
No. 22’s eyes narrowed, and directly ripped the heart held in his palm, violently ripping it out of Claude’s body!
Claude’s body shook, the light in his eyes receded, and he fell straight to the ground, completely losing his breath.
”…… Having lost the realm and the Divine Ruins, the [Ten Imperial Former] is nothing more than that.”
No. 22 casually threw his hand, throwing the heart towards the [Holy Grail] that fell to the ground, a strand of blood extending into the scarlet wine, the water level rising a little higher again.
No. 22 bent down and picked up the tall dark golden cup, gazing at the surface of the swirling wine, the smile at the corner of his mouth growing thicker and thicker.
”The [Holy Grail] that can fulfill all wishes, and the [Scepter] that can commandeer all power …… Now, under the gods, who can stop me?” A low laugh came out from the throat of No. 22, he paused for a moment, as if he thought of something, his eyes flashed with a morose killing intent, and
”When I get another [Treasure Sword] capable of beheading a god, I can kill that woman Philothea ……
I still need more sacrifices.”
No. 22’s gaze landed on the residents of Wu City not far away.
For some reason, the moment they came into contact with No. 22’s gaze, the residents of Wu City only felt a chill in their hands and feet, as if there was some sort of icy coldness that poured from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
That was killing intent!
Song-!
No. 22’s figure transformed into a residual shadow and flashed into the crowd in a hurry, a cold aura sliced through, and countless wails and cries of shock rang out one after another.
A body was like harvested wheat, falling densely on the hard stone brick road, blood following the gullies between the brick cracks, rapidly haloing the streets of Wu Cheng.
In the midst of haste, several Divine Weapons rushed up into the sky, rushing straight towards the madly killing No. 22.
No. 22 expressionlessly raised the [Scepter] and slammed it heavily into the ground, golden ripples cut through, and all the divine weapons flew out backwards!
The [Scepter] was capable of forcibly commandeering power within a certain range, and at less than the “Supreme” level, these artifacts were unable to get close to No.22, nor could they hurt him in the slightest.
For 22 who possessed the [Holy Grail] and [Scepter], this was a one-sided slaughter!
As 22 advanced, countless residents lost their lives and fell in a pool of blood, turning into strands of silk that poured into the [Holy Grail], becoming the sacrifices of wishes ……
At this moment, the entire city of Wu was like hell.
At the same time.
The Asylum of the Gods.
”Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh-!!!”
Painful roars echoed in the golden circle of the compound, Gilgamesh, who was locked on top of the throne, twisted his body non-stop as if he had gone crazy, his bloodshot eyes almost cracking their sockets, and
”A mere alien curmudgeon, how dare you go on a killing spree in Uruk!!!! This king is going to break you into pieces!!!! I’m going to break you into pieces!!!”
On the side, Bragi crouched in the corner with his hands over his ears and couldn’t help but open his mouth:
”Crazy …… Gilgamesh is crazy again …… Monkey, you control him!”
The Monkey King, who was sitting on the rocky throne, had his brows locked as he stood up from his seat and walked straight to the pitch-black throne that kept trembling.
”Gilgamesh ……”
”Kill you! This king must kill you!!!” Endless divine power exploded out of Gilgamesh’s body, sending the earth roaring and trembling with
”Let go of this king …… Let go of me! I’m going to kill him!!!”
