Chapter 599: Chapter 204: The Gamble

Leonard Churchill felt that since Noah Wright was previously the only person who could see through the flaws of the Gravity Domain, he definitely wouldn’t be unaware that he couldn’t endure the Kingship Holy Flame. He wouldn’t have rashly thrown away his life.

Therefore, Mushroomhead’s actions just now must have had some deeper intention.

However, Leonard didn’t ponder whether Noah Wright was truly dead or not.

The higher the tier, the more bizarre the Extraordinary Methods.

Camilla, with her body of Elements, Vivian White, whom he had encountered before, and Old Cook, who was proficient in Necromancy… To some extent, they all had abilities akin to immortality.

Even Leonard himself, with the “Curse of Immortality” blessing him, would find it difficult to die.

What puzzled him now was, what exactly drove Noah Wright’s actions?

However, before he could figure it out, Camilla had already rushed toward the Holy Grail.

If there were no accidents, she, too, would be attacked by the Fourth Tier S-rank Catastrophe that materialized out of thin air the moment she touched the Holy Grail, just like Noah Wright before her.

Even as strong as she was, she would most likely be severely injured just like the previous time.

Seeing this, Leonard didn’t hesitate at all. He fiercely stomped on the ground and charged ahead as well.

Because his intuition told him that he needed to lend a hand.

“Clap” “Clap” “Clap”…

Leonard’s feet created successive Air Explosions in the air.

Just as Camilla touched the Holy Grail, layers of peculiar gravitational threads started to swirl on the ground near her.

“Hisss… the gravitational force of the Fourth Tier S Catastrophe is so strong!”

Leonard instantly felt his body heavy as if it were filled with lead, and he plummeted down sharply.

No wonder Camilla couldn’t avoid it.

The intensity of gravity at that moment was several times greater than the pressure Leonard had endured when risking his life to get the Holy Grail.

If he hadn’t just touched upon the threshold of the Demon God’s Mysterious Technique “Celestial Godfall” which exempted most of the gravitational pull, he would have likely burst open on the spot.

Without time to think, Leonard, appearing behind Camilla, drew the Useless Great Sword to shield himself in front of his chest like a shield.

He had already discerned the direction of the gravitational force and predicted the monster’s point of emergence.

As expected, just as he braced for impact, a sharp lance engulfed in black flames was already stabbing towards him.

“Clang~”

Although the lance struck the sword, the weird penetrating force, akin to a “Two-pole collapse,” pierced his entire body.

The sword issued a series of “buzzing” sharp hums, as if his soul were about to be shaken out of his body.

Leonard felt as if his hands holding the Great Sword were electrified, almost causing him to drop the weapon.

He did not dare to withstand it head-on. His muscles erupted with power, sending his body flying backward to offset that terrifying force that went straight for his internal organs.

With a “thud,” Leonard solidly smashed against the Rock Wall.

Yet, it was because he took the brunt of the spear that Camilla successfully got her hands on the Holy Grail.

This was her second time holding the Holy Grail, which was obviously different this time.

As she touched it, light also shone from the Holy Grail.

But it wasn’t the scorching light of the Feast like before; it was more like the gentle glow of a night pearl, as if signifying that the Holy Item recognized the identity of its holder.

Watching this, Leonard, although curious about what the change was, also heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing his old friend appear in this Alternate Dimension, he guessed that the Holy Grail might be of significant importance to her.

But Camilla seemed to have discovered something. Her brows furrowed slightly as though something was still amiss.

Leonard noticed it too.

Because there was no message of Enlightenment indicating the Barrier had been broken.

That meant they hadn’t completely achieved the mission objective.

However, the key plot character Prince Sane’s complexion changed dramatically. He was obviously aware of what this anomaly meant.

Seeing the Holy Grail glowing in Camilla’s hand, his eyes, filled with rage, couldn’t be concealed as he charged with the Golden Greatsword in hand.

At the same time, the Fourth Tier Hell’s Knight also launched a second strike.

Holding the Xismark Holy Grail in hand was like holding a bomb, posing deadly dangers to anyone who held it.

But Camilla didn’t seem to have any intention of letting it go; instead, Curse Power surged within her, ready to take on the onslaught head-on.

“What is she trying to do…”

Leonard watched, his pupils shrinking, still unclear about the significance of holding the Holy Grail.

But seeing his old friend about to be besieged, he didn’t hesitate to rush forward again.

Although his tier was the lowest in the Hero’s Tomb, he could still manage to provide some distraction.

The two didn’t exchange a word, but they moved in sync, appearing on another battlefield within the Tomb almost at the same moment.

There, Red Dragon Yuri, transformed into the Fire Dragon, was fighting furiously with an incarnation of the Catastrophe.

This Demon viscount was originally perhaps the strongest in terms of individual strength among those who had entered the Tomb this time.

Once transformed into the Great Dragon, hardly anyone could kill it.

But at that moment, it was suffering greatly under the oppressive Gravity Domain of the Hell’s Knight, struggling helplessly in the mire.

An even worse scene was unfolding.

Camilla, holding the Holy Grail, charged straight at it, and in an instant, she was already on the Great Dragon’s back.

Red Dragon Yuri felt something was terribly wrong.

But at that moment, he was caught between a rock and a hard place.

If he shifted back to human form, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the terrifying gravitational force.

But if he didn’t transform, his nearly hundred-meter-wide, massive body’with spread wings would be the best target for drawing fire.

There was absolutely no time to hesitate in a battle of this tier.

And just as the thought occurred, Red Dragon Yuri realized his back suddenly felt cold, then immediately turned into ripping, searing pain.

Upon looking closely, Camilla was touching the Demon’s back with the Holy Grail.
