You Don't Want to Go See Karthas Looking All Haggard, Do You?

In a depressing environment, the sounds of pain are especially heart-wrenching, even sending chills down one's spine.

Visible to the naked eye, beams of Holy Light dispelled the darkness.

The deep corridor was like a faulty light bulb, flickering on and off.

Finally, Qin Chu and Augustus arrived at the front of the deepest part of the prison cell...

The floor of the cage was slightly more recessed than the corridor outside. The Death Knight, who once had a gloomy yet eerie and handsome air, had now completely transformed into something else entirely.

The hard black armor on his body had long since been stripped away.

He wore a special collar around his neck, just like Angelica's before, only the color was different and the effect was different. This collar could seal the Battle Qi within Karthus's body.

The cage was crowded with sewage that almost reached the level of the corridor. Karthus was half-submerged in the water, on which floated dead rats and other creatures, and some white worms wriggled on the corpses.

His hands were bound by chains hanging from the top of the cage, his wrists pierced, forcibly keeping his hands in an upward position. His handsome face was now covered in grime, and there were even some insects crawling on his face and neck.

Her once neat and tidy long hair is now a mess.

It's truly a tragedy that the once handsome, mighty, brave, and powerful Death Knight has fallen to such a wretched state.

He kept his head down, and muffled groans of pain kept coming from his throat.

His body was covered in wounds, and the blood had stained the sewage a dark red color.

A pastor wearing a monocle is flipping through a document in his hand... or rather, a crime registry.

"Karthus, you are suspected of defiling and killing the youngest daughter of the Wick Lineage two years ago, and even massacring the entire Wick Lineage. Do you plead guilty?" The priest spoke in a cold voice, holding a quill pen in his other hand.

Karthus simply continued to pant without answering.

Upon seeing this, a priest standing next to the cage immediately cast a Holy Light on Karthus.

Holy Light is used for healing and can also act as a magic lamp... In short, it only brings warmth to any normal person.

Except for the Death Knight.

For Death Knight, Holy Light is as terrifying as using gasoline to put out a fire or using cephalosporin to sober up.

The bright Holy Light dispelled the darkness and shone on Karthus, as if a bucket of concentrated sulfuric acid had been poured directly onto Karthus. Instantly, a large cloud of foul-smelling white mist billowed from Karthus's body.

Visibly, large areas of ulceration immediately appeared on his body.

Some hideous, bloody skin fell from Karthus's skin, and the intense pain caused Karthus to let out a piercing scream.

"Ah..."

Coupled with the dark surroundings, the screams only sent chills down one's spine.

But the priest seemed very pleased. "Oh, Karthus has admitted it, that's wonderful!"

As he spoke, the pastor put a checkmark in the crime record book.

So this is what they call the warmth of Holy Light?

As expected of the Holy Church, they always manage to come up with new and exciting ways to torture people.

"The next charge is that before the massacre of the Knight, you had already lost control and wiped out the Ofuer Village. Do you plead guilty?"

Qin Chu still remembered the Ofuer Village.

It was a village under the protection of the Holy Church, but due to the Holy Church's negligence and neglect, the village was ravaged by Magic Creature.

The Holy Church is now trying to pin some of its own mistakes on Karthus, isn't it? Anyway, he's going to be executed soon, and a dead man can't refute it.

As the Holy Light shone, screams followed, and a checkmark appeared on the crime record book...

Karthus's sins are piling up.

Seeing Karthus being tortured like this, becoming so wretched and inhuman, Qin Chu felt no pity whatsoever; instead, he felt a sense of pleasure.

But his expression was unusually calm. Qin Chu was now able to control his facial expressions very well... only the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

The Holy Church did an even better job than he had imagined; even if Qin Chu himself had come, he couldn't have done it so perfectly.

As expected of members of the Heresy Inquisition, they are truly experts in this field.

Karthus, you've finally met your match?

How does it feel to be tortured? How does it feel to be framed and falsely accused?

It must feel very comfortable, right?

So this is how you treated me back then. Now that you're personally experiencing this, you, a dignified Death Knight, must be quite moved, right?

Yes, just like this: suffer, scream, wail, struggle, despair...

Watching his own blood flow down the wound.

Watching his own flesh rot in the Holy Light.

The unfounded accusations leveled against Wrath are gradually increasing.

Feel your own life, slowly fading away.

At least you can still make a sound, whereas back then you couldn't even open your mouth.

Another beam of Holy Light shone on Karthus's body. Almost no part of his skin was intact; his entire body was covered in a foul-smelling, dark red viscous substance.

Some insects had even begun to wriggle on Karthus's body, bringing even more intense pain.

This is purgatory!

Just then, the priest responsible for fabricating... no, recording the charges finally noticed Qin Chu and Augustus, and quickly stopped what he was doing to come over and bow.

"It's alright, Your Hero and I just came to see what the Death Knight looks like now," Augustus said with a smile. "You did a good job, keep it up."

A smile immediately spread across the pastor's face.

"By the way, how's the investigation into Karthus's crimes going?"

"Your Holiness, I have fabricated... no, I have interrogated them and uncovered 281 charges of various crimes..."

"This Death Knight is truly wicked beyond redemption; even dying ten thousand times wouldn't be enough to atone for his sins. I will continue my efforts to bring all his crimes to justice."

"Very good, very good," Augustus praised with a smile.

"You may all step back. His Excellency the Hero has something to say to the Death Knight," Augustus commanded.

Although these men were not Augustus's loyal subordinates, they did not dare to disobey Augustus's orders. So, the group temporarily retreated, leaving Qin Chu and Augustus to their own devices.

The Death Knight Karthus, who was breathing heavily, heard the sound. He slowly raised his head, and when he saw Qin Chu, his cloudy eyes were instantly filled with intense hatred and disgust.

Karthus still hated Qin Chu to the core.

He blamed Qin Chu entirely for his current predicament; if Qin Chu hadn't let it slip, he wouldn't have suffered such torment.

It's all Qin Chu's fault.

Well, Karthus was right; it was indeed Qin Chu's plan, although Qin Chu publicly absolved him of all responsibility.

"Qin Chu..."

"A despicable thief..."

Karthus spoke in a hoarse voice; he could still speak.

In Karthus's mind, Qin Chu stole the title and glory of the Hero, causing people to gradually forget Jello, so he was a thief.

He uttered a piercing question, "Did you come here to see my current wretched and miserable state, to laugh at me?"

"Right!"

Qin Chu gave a very straightforward and shameless answer.

"Do you know what? You're hanging inside the cage, and I'm standing outside!"

"Seeing you in tattered clothes, covered in wounds, with not a single patch of undamaged skin left..."

"Looking at the once proud Death Knight, now reduced to a state worse than a dog..."

"Seeing someone who tried to kill me twice, living a life worse than death, with maggots eating your flesh... that feeling..."

Qin Chu spread his hands, a slightly exaggerated smile on his face, "It's awesome!"

What is revenge? This is revenge.

It was so easy to just chop off his head with one stroke.

Not every member of the Hero's Party will be as lucky as Benson.

Karthus was taken aback by Qin Chu's answer. He thought Qin Chu would say something polite, but Qin Chu shamelessly admitted it.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say, but after a few seconds, he let out a disdainful roar, "As expected of a filthy person from another world, you are not worthy to be compared with Lord Jello, you are not even worthy to carry Lord Jello's shoes..."

"Your nobility pales in comparison to even a fraction of his..."

Qin Chu wasn't angry at all. People were already in this state; couldn't they at least have a few words to say? He wasn't as cruel as them.

He was very kind and gave Karthus ample opportunity to speak.

Unfortunately, Karthus kept repeating the same few sentences over and over, offering nothing new. Qin Chu was getting tired of hearing it, and he impatiently picked at his ear. "Are you done?"

"No..." Karthus continued to roar, his voice booming with energy.

It seems the ordeal just now didn't really damage Karthus's energy. Perhaps he was stimulated by Qin Chu and suddenly had a burst of energy. Who knows?

We can tell the pastor at the door to give it a little more effort.

"Perhaps I will die... but I will be waiting for you in hell..."

"No, I will crawl out of hell, I will crush you with my own hands, drain all your blood, and let your soul suffer the burning of Dark Demonic Flame forever..."

Karthus seemed to have gone mad, letting out a horrible howl. "I curse you! Your future will be far more miserable than mine! You will suffer a fate worse than death! You will be despised by everyone! You..."

"Your fiancée is in my hands..."

The howling stopped abruptly.

In an instant, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence because of Qin Chu's words.

Karthus's eyes widened, his gaze filled with disbelief and fear.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I misspoke."

"It's your ex-fiancée, Miss Norma, who's currently living in my house..."

"Go in peace, I'll take good care of your fiancée, you don't need to worry!"

It's almost the end of the month, so everyone, throw all your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at me! Haha!

Chapter 165 You wouldn't want to go to see Karthus looking haggard, would you?

(2)

I will take care of your wife and children, so don't worry!

Qin Chu actually really wanted to say something like this, in the style of Cao Cao...

However, considering that Karthus might not understand, it was thoughtful of them to translate Karthus into plain language.

Because of Qin Chu's words, Karthus's howling stopped abruptly, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

The Death Knight stared at Qin Chu with wide, shocked eyes. His body trembled and his gaze gradually turned from shock to fear and despair.

That's ruthless!

That's too toxic.

For Karthus, who deeply loved his fiancée, nothing could be more agonizing. Physical torture wasn't enough; was Karthus very soul to be crushed?

Augustus filled with sighs.

Although Karthus was foolish, he wasn't completely out of his mind. Hearing Qin Chu's words, he would involuntarily imagine all sorts of scenarios, which would get worse and worse, and more and more painful.

From then until his death, Karthus was tormented by the images that flashed through his mind every moment.

This torment was even more unbearable for Karthus than physical pain, enough to drive Karthus insane.

He was desperate, he was in pain, and he was powerless...

After a few seconds, Karthus seemed to finally come to his senses, and he struggled desperately like a madman, the chains through his wrists rattling loudly.

His wrist was even torn open, and bright red blood kept flowing out from the ruptured wound.

He was like a pathetic, desperate stray dog, his throat emitting hoarse growls. "Qin Chu, you bastard, you're not allowed to lay a hand on Norma..."
