Therefore, it’s very likely that the Prince Sarn character would simply take the Holy Grail, and then the plot of the Battle of Ironforge would be forcibly ended.

Although they could survive and leave the Alternate Dimension, without the Holy Grail in hand, all their efforts would be in vain.

But even having realized this,

this risk must still be bravely faced.

The Holy Grail could only be held by Camilla.

If Leonard Churchill were to hold it, he would be seconds away from being killed.

Right now, all he could do was to rely on the Gravitational Secret Technique he’d comprehended to occasionally distract the Catastrophe or Sane.

But continuing to fight this way yielded no results.

Camilla was originally a full tier lower, and the probability of killing the Fourth Tier Prince Sarn, who had top combat power, was already slim.

Not to mention an S-class Catastrophe was present.

In just a few exchanges, the situation had become extremely urgent.

Although Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter had risked their lives to defeat Fourth Tier Lieutenant Colonel Bolton before,

there were differences in combat power even among the Fourth Tier.

In comparison, these two pinnacle Fourth Tier enemies were at least several times stronger.

Even just distracting them for a short while, Leonard Churchill was repeatedly struck with severe blows and sent flying.

The injuries inflicted by enemies two full tiers above them were also fatal every time: once his thigh was almost severed in half, once his abdomen was sliced open wide, once a spear pierced through his chest…

It was fortunate that he had the Healing Secret Skill, otherwise he would have died several times over.

And Camilla herself wasn’t doing great either.

She couldn’t resist the Celestial Godfall’s Gravitational Force, could only endure the gravitational suppression from two Fourth Tier enemies, and was restricted at every turn.

Moreover, every time Leonard Churchill was seriously wounded, not only did her pressure surge, but she also had to provide cover and was repeatedly severely injured.

The situation was getting worse and worse.

Looking at the way things were going, if the two of them continued to drag out the fight like this, they would eventually both be on a path to certain death.

Or they would have to give up the Holy Grail and surrender this space.

…

“Thud~”

Once again, Leonard Churchill was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His expression grew more and more solemn as he thought rapidly, “Strange, where exactly is the breakthrough point?”

His instinct told him that even if they killed Prince Sarn, they still wouldn’t resolve any problems.

It would instead seal their only chance of leaving the space alive, leaving them to die a drawn-out death alongside Hell’s Knight.

Obtaining the Holy Grail by force alone was definitely not possible.

Leonard Churchill had never thought of giving up.

The purpose of his visit had been achieved: he had consumed the Holy Water, and his life span was already recovered.

But this time, Camilla was clearly here for the Holy Grail.

It was imperative for her, and she had risked her life to come here.

Leonard Churchill couldn’t possibly not lend a hand.

He kept going over every clue in his mind.

Gravestones, Holy Grail, Princess’s remains, statues, Domain…

Military force, inheritance, Kingship, hero fate…

All these conditions should have theoretically been met.

Leonard Churchill really couldn’t understand what was missing.

The greatest uncertainty was the “Princess’s remains.”

Since Sane was able to live because of it and even take away the Holy Grail, it was surely a crucial clue.

But what did it represent?

Unable to figure it out himself, Leonard Churchill’s mind kept flashing back to a scene,

which was Noah Wright’s inexplicably suicidal behavior!

Mushroomhead’s corpse still lay on the ground, as if silently speaking of something.

While fighting, Leonard Churchill carefully recalled the moment Noah Wright met his demise, pondering nonstop, “That guy must have discovered something, otherwise he wouldn’t have ‘gone to his death.’ What is he trying to hint at for me to do?”

But it always seemed like he was missing a stroke of insight, and he just couldn’t figure it out.

Meanwhile, without realizing it, Camilla was once again severely injured by Hell’s Knight, a mouthful of blood spraying forth.

His old friend didn’t have the ability to heal injuries.

If the fight went on, she really would die.

Leonard Churchill watched with a furrowed brow.

Although he could regard his own life and death lightly, he definitely didn’t want to watch his friend die before his eyes.

However, it was this very thought that seemed to flicker a stroke of insight in his mind.

Looking again at Noah Wright’s behavior…

Suddenly, Leonard Churchill comprehended!

Death!

Wasn’t that guy, by sacrificing his life, giving a hint?

Leonard Churchill finally understood what Noah Wright was trying to convey.

That guy’s behavior had already made it very obvious: Willingly hinting at clues to breaking the situation with his death to help his teammates!

“`

The clues are still in the content of the tombstone!

Although no one knows what exactly happened during The Second Holy Grail War a hundred years ago.

Hero Garen’s achievements certainly qualified him to drink the Holy Water and recover from his injuries.

But the fact is, he died!

Looking at the resentful words on the tombstone, there is only one possibility.

That is, hero Garen gave the Holy Water to someone else!

So, he died.

That other person lived.

And that other person, very likely, was the “Princess Delan,” who had become a pile of bones!

At this moment, Leonard Churchill could even reconstruct the story from a century ago: Hero Garen defeated the demon lord, obtained the Holy Grail, but was severely wounded; he could have used the Holy Water to heal, but out of a sense of overwhelming achievement that overshadowed his ruler, or perhaps after uncovering some filthy secrets of the royal family; coincidentally, his lover, the princess, was also gravely hurt; hero Garen gave the Holy Water to his lover; the princess, realizing it later, chose to be buried here…

That’s why there’s that phrase on the tombstone, “In the name of God, kill countless people, the ridiculous kingship.”

However, the specifics of the story are no longer important.

The lingering will of hero Garen is guarding the Holy Grail because he wants to filter those who obtain the Holy Grail.

A person who can learn his Secret Skills and who also possesses a spirit of sacrifice!

Leonard Churchill’s eyes grew sharp, clarity dawned on him as he inwardly shouted, “The meaning of those ‘Princess’s remains’ is exactly this! The legendary hero wants the person who obtains the Holy Grail to have the quality to sacrifice their life for others, for justice, for love, for friendship…!”

He finally understood!

That was the message Noah Wright wanted to convey.

But he couldn’t say it outright.

That’s why he used that almost unimaginable act of delivering his own death to convey the method to break through the situation.

Camilla might have guessed it, but she couldn’t say it either.

Although she spoke up, as a friend who had shared life-and-death situations with Leonard Churchill, he wouldn’t refuse to risk his life to try it out.

But like friendship tied up, or perhaps because of a calculated exchange of interests after weighing the benefits against the desire to live.

That kind of subjective act that sends someone to their death, would then no longer be pure.

And it’s very possible that it wouldn’t trigger the conditions to break through the situation.

So, Leonard Churchill himself needed to have this “awakening”!

….

“Haha, so that’s how it is.”

Coming to this realization, a wild laugh suddenly appeared on Leonard Churchill’s face.

If it were someone else, they would certainly hesitate to send others to their death.

But Leonard Churchill wouldn’t!

And it could only be Leonard Churchill who made this sacrifice.

Because, only he had learned the “Celestial Godfall” Secret Skill.

Perhaps Noah Wright could too, and he might have thought of this earlier, but he wasn’t suitable!

Even if he couldn’t really die and had comprehended the Secret Skills.

But Noah Wright also didn’t possess the pure intention to lay down his life for Camilla, or for Leonard Churchill.

Only Leonard Churchill and Camilla, the two who had faced life and death together, could meet this condition.

The person must learn the Secret Skills, and must have a spirit of sacrifice…

This is the only slim chance the Alternate Dimension, in “The Battle of Ironforge,” this intermediate-tier Alternate Dimension, leaves for adventurers to obtain the Holy Grail!

“Hehe…”

Thinking of this, Leonard Churchill exchanged a glance with Camilla, and without any hesitation, he charged forward.

Their eye contact was enough, Camilla understood he got it.

Leonard Churchill responded with a radiant smile.

He saw that indefinable tacit understanding in the eyes of his old friend.

If he really had to sacrifice his life to save someone he considered a friend, Leonard Churchill would not hesitate.

If there was someone in this world worth dying for as a friend, Camilla definitely counted as one.

Camilla would not hesitate either.

Both were very clear about this.

Leonard Churchill, rushing forward, stepped in front of Camilla.

Just in time, as Prince Sane’s blade slashed over.

The sword was vicious, cleaving from the top of the head to the tailbone, splitting in two.

Such an injury, even the “Curse of Immortality” couldn’t heal.

Leonard Churchill tried the same nearly suicidal method that Noah Wright had previously adopted to test one of their conjectures.

If they guessed right, they would live.

If they guessed wrong, they would die.

But Leonard Churchill cracked a smile.

Even as he was being split into two by the Sword Air, even in his last moment, he still wore a smile on his face.

It wasn’t about the formality, but he was willing to die for someone.

Everything went dark, and Leonard Churchill once again felt the sensation of death descending upon him.

Em… it felt quite good.

However, this sensation lasted only for a moment.

Enlightenment already began to surface: “Congratulations, you have earned the approval of hero Garen’s will, you have obtained…”
