Chapter 581: Chapter 198 Early 9, Long Time No See_4

Leonard Churchill interpreted, “It seems to be the burial of a legendary hero…”

He couldn’t translate it exactly, but he roughly understood it and read out the historical epic recorded on the inscription, “A hundred years ago, a war also broke out over the ‘Xismark Holy Grail’… The human kingdom and demons fought a fierce war, with heavy casualties on the human side… The epic hero of humanity, the Holy Knight, Dragon Slayer, and the demon-slaying hero Garen, defeated the Demon Lord from Hell, allowing mankind to win the war that lasted over a decade, but the hero was grievously wounded and died here… His followers, according to his will, buried his body under the Holy Spirit Mountain Range, sealing away the Holy Grail that brought disaster to humanity and the Hell Demon…”

After hearing the inscription, the three fell into a moment of contemplation.

Although the content was not much, it revealed many key pieces of information.

Leonard Churchill murmured, “If I’m not mistaken, a hundred years ago must have been ‘The Second Holy Grail War’.”

Now it seemed like history was repeating itself.

The Holy Grail has reappeared, and humanity is about to face another great war with the demons.

Looking at the situation, the higher-ups of both factions held the Holy Grail in high regard, sparing no effort to obtain it.

But why…

Why has it been contested at least three times?

It feels like a prize in a game, inciting humans and demons to fight over it, deliberately causing slaughter.

There must be a mastermind behind it all.

A spark of insight flashed in his mind, and Leonard immediately recalled the last sentence from the Enlightenment hint when he entered the space: This war between humans and demons is shadowed by a god.

He looked again at the contents of the inscription.

Was the Holy Grail War orchestrated by a god from behind the scenes?

Hisss… Why?

For faith? Or something else?

Leonard knew that on the side of the demons was the ‘Master of Dreams and Pleasure’ Arachne from the Silver Moon Sect, while humans also had their gods.

Thinking this, the situation seemed to elevate to a higher level.

But that level was too high, and he couldn’t understand it for the time being.

At that moment, Noah Wright, who was standing by, had also recorded what he had heard and was pondering, “It seems, after the hero killed the Demon Lord, the higher-ups of the human kingdom didn’t treat him all that kindly… Otherwise, with the Holy Grail, he shouldn’t have died from his wounds.”

“Hmm.”

Leonard nodded in agreement.

The factual part of the inscription was written by the legendary hero “Garen’s” retinue, and contained strong feelings of grievance, unwillingness, and injustice.

It was as if the hero Garen had suffered some unfair treatment, yet it couldn’t be explicitly written out.

The “The Second Holy Grail War” from last time seemed to have many hidden stories.

Perhaps in the Old Continent, there were some Alternate Dimension related to the storyline that could explain it, but that was not the plot involved in the current ‘Battle of Ironforge’.

However, as Leonard looked at the title “demon-slaying hero,” he raised an eyebrow slightly.

Coincidentally, he also held such a title.

But before he could think any further, suddenly, chills ran down his spine and an overwhelming intent to kill crashed down on him like a mountain.

“An ambush!”

Leonard instantly became aware of something.

The attacker was extremely powerful!

There was no time to think further; he instinctively reacted in defense, his body rapidly undergoing Beast Transformation.

However, the mysterious archer beside him was even faster.

Almost at the moment the killing intent struck, an intense cold aura swept through the Underground Cave.

She turned and punched, meeting the black hand that came attacking from the darkness.

They were evenly matched!

Recognizing the familiar cold aura, the corner of Leonard’s mouth lifted slightly, and he felt a sense of relief, whispering, “So it is you… Miss Camilla. It’s been a while.”
