Chapter 593: 202 Hell's Knight·Dragon Hawk Garen_3
Leonard Churchill shouted in his heart, unable to hide his delight.
The more he savored the change, the more he found the Holy Water’s effects unbelievable.
It was like being reborn.
Not only were his white hairs visibly turning black, but he also felt his body go from the sunset years back to the vigor of dawn.
If the Enlightenment system didn’t hide attributes like lifespan, Leonard probably could have seen a “lifespan +100” prompt right now.
No!
It wasn’t just the restoration of his diminished lifespan,
it was a state of health he had never experienced before!
Leonard had never felt so good in his life.
In fact, when he first crossed over into Space 407 and was drained by the Fallen Witch Sect, he had already lost much essence and lifespan.
Then, as his strength surged rapidly, he had been through numerous battles where his body accumulated many hidden injuries, negative statuses, and Transcendent Contamination.
At this moment, all of it had been completely cleansed.
Leonard had never felt so well before, and a greatly pleased smile spread across his face.
Although he did not fear death,
this feeling of rejuvenation truly delighted him.
But just then, from the corner of his eye, he saw a Golden Greatsword slashing towards him.
Prince Sane was a genuine top-notch Fourth Tier fighter, and his sword was bursting with lethal intent – he hadn’t held back!
“Heh heh…”
Seeing this, Leonard’s lips curled into an exaggerated arc.
The Clown illusion, which had disappeared due to his exhausted body, re-emerged.
Fourth Tier, sure, he couldn’t beat it, but it wasn’t like he had never fought one before!
Not a trace of fear was in Leonard’s eyes as he quickly drew the Useless Great Sword from behind to block the attack.
“Clang~”
The Golden Greatsword clashed with the black gargantuan blade, emitting a crisp sound.
Aside from its other functionalities, the Disaster Object known as “Useless Great Sword” truly embodied the special effect “Unbreakable.”
Leonard’s arm muscles bulged as he blocked the slash from an opponent two whole tiers higher than himself with this huge sword.
At the instant when the blades met, a fierce grin appeared in his eyes.
He had to try to know, and his current condition was fantastic!
Every cell in his body was crying out for a hearty and invigorating battle.
However, Leonard wasn’t so arrogant as to think he could keep the Holy Grail safe.
He decisively threw the cup down and retreated explosively.
…
Camilla, not far away, was also surprised to see Leonard successfully drink the Holy Water.
The appearance of an S-tier Catastrophe was completely unexpected, so she couldn’t control the situation and could only do her best to create opportunities for Leonard to touch the Holy Grail.
Even when she detected Prince Sane’s killing intention, she was at her Multiplicity Shortfall.
After all, she still had to hold off the Hell’s Knight on her end.
However, what she didn’t expect was that Leonard could easily touch the Holy Grail and even resist a Fourth Tier slash with a Second Tier body?
The situation changed suddenly, but only for a moment or two.
Camilla’s hard-pressed Spell didn’t hold any longer.
A cracking sound like ice splitting echoed, and the Hell’s Knight burst free from the ice.
Instantly, the vast Underground Cave tensed up.
From the moment the S-tier Catastrophe appeared, everyone knew it was not an adversary they could overcome.
In various parts of the Tomb, there was Leonard, Camilla, Noah Wright, Old Cook with his burnt hand, Prince Sane, Red Dragon Yuri and his three Demon Commanders…
Forces from all sides were wary of each other, yet their gazes locked on the imposing monster.
No one spoke, and even breathing became cautious.
The Xismark Holy Grail simply lay there on the icy ground, no longer the object of attention.
Now that the Holy Water was gone, there seemed no rush.
Whoever wanted the Holy Grail had to face the monster.
But after a few moments of waiting, the monster standing there didn’t move.
The Knight clad in dragon scales, riding atop his mount, stood next to the Holy Grail, quietly, showing no intention to attack anyone.
Seeing this, Leonard let out a slight sigh of relief.
A creature that could heavily wound the current Camilla was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
He mulled over in his mind, “Could it be that there’s a special trigger for enmity? Will it only attack those who touch the Holy Grail?”
That’s what everyone thought.
Now, the entire Hero’s Mausoleum was trapped by a Barrier, and even if they didn’t take the Holy Grail, they couldn’t get out.
This standoff couldn’t last forever.
Gazing at the information displayed by Enlightenment, Leonard also considered, “If it’s a Rule-based Catastrophe… then that means breaking a specific rule might resolve the deadlock.”
Killing an S-tier Catastrophe was out of the question.
But another feature was that it belonged to the “Rule-based” category, which still left a glimmer of hope.
It was like the “Contaminated Crevice Woman” he encountered before; if he could find the right method, perhaps survival was possible.
Leonard thought about it, glancing at Camilla and Noah Wright not too far away.
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on the faces of his two allies, it was obvious they were considering the same thing.
If the three of them could think of it, others were surely on the same page.
The atmosphere in the Tomb suddenly became “harmonious.”
Neither the human nor the Demon factions dared to make a move, and they remained in a tense standoff.
However, it wasn’t long before something changed.
Billows of dark energy surged out from the Heroic Statues, pouring into the body of [Hell’s Knight·Dragon Hawk Garen].
The group in the King’s Mausoleum watched as the aura of the S-tier Catastrophe soared, visibly becoming several times stronger than before.
But no one dared make a move.
After all, no one could defeat it.
