I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 573 - Holy Water

Chapter 573: Chapter 573 Holy Water

Annie gave Song Jian a sign, and Song Jian nodded. From the bag, he pulled out the Goblet of Life and handed it to Annie.

“Lord Suravi, this is the Goblet of Life that Song Jian got from the Treasure Vault of the Shadow Giant Dragon in the Dark Castle. It can turn ordinary water into holy water that heals any injuries and detoxifies any kinds of poison.” Annie explained to Suravi, holding up the Goblet of Life.

Suravi, the magician, stared at the crude wooden cup in Annie’s hand, felt it quietly, but didn’t sense any energy fluctuation from it.

Shaking his head, Suravi said, “I didn’t feel any energy fluctuation from this cup. It’s impossible for it to be the Goblet of Life! Not to mention…”

Suravi glanced at Song Jian, a dash of disdain flashing in his eyes, and stated, “I do not believe that he, with his current abilities, could have stolen the Goblet of Life from the Dark Castle!”

What kind of place is the Dark Castle? It’s the nest of the Shadow Giant Dragon. Even if the dragon had been seriously injured and was now dying, the threat of a dragon couldn’t be underestimated.

Most importantly, how could this crude wooden cup possibly be the Goblet of Life? Even a child wouldn’t use it as a toy. It looked simply terrible.

Annie didn’t say anything. Ever since she touched the Goblet of Life, it has become more ordinary, giving a feeling that this divine artifact was self-concealing.

Only Annie herself could feel the potent life energy brimming within the Goblet of Life.

“Lord Suravi, could you give me a bottle of clear water?” Annie insisted.

Sighing inwardly, Suravi shook his head slightly. It seemed that Annie had been seriously tricked by this devotee.

With just a wave, Suravi motioned towards the table, “That’s fresh water a servant just brought in…”

Annie walked over there, slowly poured the clear water from the bottle into the Goblet of Life;

At first, there was no anomaly. But when the water level reached the rim of the cup, an odd energy began to radiate from the water.

Suravi clearly felt the ripple of this potent life force. One of his brows lifted, and he couldn’t help but make a surprised sound of “Eh.”

The clear water in the holy grail began to ripple. A silver glow burst from the water, and a surging life energy began to spread around.

“It really is… it really is the Goblet of Life!” The look of wild joy on Suravi’s face was unmistakable. The city lord had been poisoned for so long, and Suravi had been under extreme pressure. He had nearly exhausted all his energy in suppressing the spread of the poison. Even knowing that Lady Onika was seizing power, he couldn’t spare any effort to stop her. He could only keep a firm grip on the City Lord Mansion’s guards, letting them protect the safety of the mansion, while he stayed by the city lord’s side all the time. freewebnøvel.com

Feeling the life energy emanating from the holy grail, Suravi was filled with deep emotion, his eyes welling up with tears. He bowed deeply to Annie and Song Jian, full of gratitude and regret, “I apologize for my previous attitude towards you, Miss, and the devotee. I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect…”

At that moment, Onika was holding a glass of red wine, figuring out how to install her men into the Mansion guard. As long as the city lord was not dead, she could not rest.

She had arranged for her men to be around all the offspring in the mansion. Once news of the city lord’s death was conveyed, they would all die on the same day. Then, Onika, with power in her hands, would become the master of two cities.

“When I fully control the City of Sin, naturally there will be a seat for me in the Council of Elders. Hmph, then, I’ll make those old farts…” Just as Onika was secretly pleased, she suddenly felt a surge of life energy coming from the backyard.

Onika frowned. What was happening?

Suddenly, she thought of the place where the energy fluctuation was strongest, apparently where the city lord was lying unwell. Her face turned white abruptly. Her right hand clenched tightly, the glass in her hand was instantly shattered.

Onika rose to her feet, her beautiful face instantly turned fierce, she roared in a low voice: “Impossible!”

Whoosh~

A black whirlwind blew over, and Onika’s figure disappeared from the room.

Suravi slowly helped the sallow middle-aged man on the sickbed to sit up. Annie was holding the Goblet of Life, prepared to pour the holy water into the man’s mouth.

Just then, a violent argument came from outside. It seemed like the guards of this room were quarrelling with someone and had started fighting.

“Ignore what’s happening outside and continue!” Suravi furrowed his brows and said firmly.

Annie nodded. She touched the holy grail to the City Lord’s lips. The city lord seemed to sense something, his body involuntarily started to suck, and the thick milk-like holy water started to flow into his mouth;

“Bang!”

The door of the room was pushed open. Blood-stained Onika, her aura as fierce as ever, stormed in;

“What are you giving the city lord to drink?” Onika asked abruptly.

Feeling no movement behind Onika, Suravi’s eyes showed a trace of sorrow. He rose to his feet, standing in front of the sickbed.

“Onika, what on earth do you want to do!” Suravi’s robe started to ripple with no wind. The aura radiating from his body was on par with Onika. It felt as if a whirlwind had blown up in the room. All the furniture and utensils were ground into dust by the conflicting energies.

However, the city lord’s bed was safe and sound, guarded by Suravi;

“This is…” Song Jian’s eyes showed a horrified look. These two people’s strength had certainly exceeded the first-order combat power, even somewhat similar to what he felt when he confronted the Shadow Giant Dragon.

“Suravi, you conspired with Annie and this devotee to poison the city lord. Today, in the city lord’s name, I will punish you!” On Onika’s face, a black aura emerged. Her cheeks slowly sunk in, two fangs gradually protruding from her lips, her fair arms started becoming withered like branches. Her hands, like the claws of a devil, shimmered with a metallic cold light.

“It really is you…” A trace of understanding appeared in Suravi’s eyes. He had long suspected Onika but had no evidence. In front of others, Onika always acted very well. He didn’t expect that she would lose her temper today, and reveal her true nature.

“City lord of the City of Blood, Blood Queen Onikxia!” Suravi broke Onika’s identity. With his right hand grabbing into the empty air, an exquisite magic staff that was over a foot long appeared in Suravi’s hand.

Roar~

Onika roared like a wild beast at Suravi. Behind her, a colossal phantom slowly emerged, displaying its arrogant posture.
