The Earth Mother Goddess's Wrath (1)

So please don't be so gentle with me.

Norma pursed her lips but did not respond.

Just then, there was a knock on the door; it must be the hotel's food delivery that had arrived.

After all, most people who come to the Sykes Grand Hotel are going to do some strenuous exercise, which will consume a lot of energy, so it is necessary to eat something before exercising.

The Sykes Grand Hotel thoughtfully provided exquisite food and drinks, though these costs were already factored into the hefty room rate.

If needed, they can even provide potions made from pure Moonflower produced by the Mage Association. If you lack experience, they can also arrange for a professional team to provide guidance.

In fact, if you're single and can only engage in solo activities, the hotel will even provide you with some decent... assistants.

In summary, the hotel's service was almost perfect in every aspect; its only drawback was its extremely poor security measures.

However, the knocking at the door relieved Norma. She quickly ran to the door and opened it, and sure enough, it was the food delivery person: pan-fried steak, strawberry cake, and coffee...

The rich aroma made Norma's stomach rumble once again; she was really hungry.

"Mr. Qin, the food has just arrived. Let's have something to eat together," Norma invited.

Qin Chu simply sat opposite Norma, smiling and shaking his head to indicate that he didn't need it. In his mind, he was pondering how to make the other consciousness in Norma's body appear. Qin Chu wanted to have a face-to-face conversation with Gaia to see if he could obtain some information from this remnant soul that Violet and Saya didn't know.

There are several suspicious points regarding Norma... no, regarding the Earth Witch.

Firstly, whose power did the Earth Witch ultimately wield? Was her power taken away when she was killed by the Space Witch?

Secondly, is there any connection between the Earth Witch and the Earth Mother Church?

Thirdly, does Gaia know anything about those Witch Slayer?

Fourthly, does she know the truth about the War of the Gods a thousand years ago?

The most important question is: did the Earth Witch receive Divine Oracle like Violet? What was the content of that Divine Oracle?

Norma tried her best to maintain ladylike manners, swallowing her food in small bites. Qin Chu's silent gaze made Norma feel a little embarrassed. She cut off a piece of steak and offered it to Qin Chu with her fork. "Mr. Qin, please have some too, it tastes pretty good..."

Qin Chu subconsciously opened his mouth, but before he could swallow, the steak fell directly onto Qin Chu pants because he hadn't held the fork properly.

The elegant dress was immediately stained with large patches of steak sauce.

Norma was filled with frustration, not expecting that she couldn't even do such a small thing well. She quickly apologized while pulling out a tissue and half-kneeling, half-squatting in front of Qin Chu to carefully wipe the stain. Although Qin Chu kept saying that it wasn't necessary, Norma stubbornly wanted to clean the stain.

Just then, Karthus's figure drifted past the window.

Since Qin Chu carried Norma upstairs, he could no longer see her, which made Karthus increasingly irritable. His figure hovered around the Sykes Grand Hotel, searching for Qin Chu and Norma through each window.

If he still couldn't find it, he might as well just destroy the whole building... Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly spotted Qin Chu sitting casually in a chair with his legs spread apart.

I finally found you, you damn bastard.

However, Qin Chu was the only one in the room and didn't notice Norma!

Where did that little bitch go? Did she go take a shower?

Karthus grew increasingly Wrath, his red-rimmed eyes scanning the area, when he suddenly noticed something moving between Qin Chu's legs...

Karthus looked closer, somewhat curious.

Buzz...

Even though he no longer had a heart, Karthus felt as if his heart had been smashed with a hammer.

The one kneeling in front of Qin Chu was none other than Norma. As an experienced Death Knight, Karthus certainly knew what was happening.

These two bastards, hiding in the hotel, actually doing this kind of thing?!

The red light in his eyes almost went out at that moment.

A moment of Wrath nearly caused Karthus's consciousness to explode...

Just then, Qin Chu also noticed the Blood Death Knight floating outside the window, but his face showed no panic whatsoever; in fact, a smug smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Karthus.

Hiss...

Many thanks to reader 160811192052586 for the donation. Thank you for your support. It's another exhausting day.

Chapter 172 The Earth Mother's Wrath (1)

Well, Qin Chu didn't want things to turn out this way.

He simply asked Norma to wipe the stains off his clothes... No, this wasn't even Qin Chu's request; Norma insisted on coming herself, so it's really not Qin Chu's fault.

This is just a normal thing; Norma got Qin Chu's clothes dirty, so naturally she has to clean them up.

However, from Karthus's perspective, the feeling is completely different.

His fiancée was kneeling in front of Qin Chu, her head moving slightly... A series of horrible images immediately flashed through his mind. He hadn't even kissed her lips, and now she was doing this to this man?

All I can say is that it came at the perfect time.

If Karthus had arrived even five seconds earlier, the scene he saw would have been completely different.

The Death Knight was Wrath.

The crimson liquid writhed incessantly on his body, and a beast-like roar came from his throat. His skeletal fingers clenched into fists, and his knuckles cracked.

Dark red energy swirled around Karthus's body, like giant black and red pythons coiling around him.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

The blood mist had enveloped Karthus, writhing like a mass of crimson flesh. Around him swirled illusory, hazy, fragmented pieces, like a sea of blood, in which countless twisted shadows struggled and were swallowed.

Karthus had never felt such intense murderous intent toward anyone as he did now.

Qin Chu could clearly see that Karthus was on the verge of going berserk, but he felt no fear whatsoever. In fact, he even maliciously wanted to add fuel to the fire and see just how high Karthus's rage would go.

This guy must be in so much pain right now, right? But it still feels like it's not enough. I always want Karthus to be even more insane, more tormented, and more desperate.

The Wrath Karthus became, the more pleased Qin Chu felt.

Just how long can this green-haired turtle endure?

And so... Qin Chu smirked at Karthus.

He smiled.

A smug and provocative laugh.

That look seemed to say, "Come and hit me if you dare..."

Hiss...

The blood mist trembled violently, and Karthus's rage was completely ignited at that moment, breaking through the limits of his suppressed endurance.

He couldn't control himself any longer; he wanted to kill those two scoundrels, kill them, kill them...

The next second, a roar like that of a wild beast came from the churning blood mist.

He opened his right hand, and a scarlet spear automatically appeared in his palm.

Roar roar roar roar...

Karthus let out a twisted roar, as if to say, "Die, you bastard."

The next second, Karthus's spear flew from his hand.

With a whoosh, the spear pierced through the glass and headed straight for Norma's head and Qin Chu's abdomen.

Just as the two were about to turn into kebabs, Qin Chu suddenly pushed Norma aside with all his might.

Norma, who was cleaning the steak sauce off Qin Chu, was taken aback by Qin Chu sudden roughness and had no idea what was going on. Just as she looked up, she heard a whoosh and a flash of scarlet blood with a pungent smell swept past her.

The next instant, right in front of Norma, the spear pierced through Qin Chu's abdomen with a soft thud, pinning Qin Chu's body to the floor.

"Ahhhhhh... Good... Good... Good..." Qin Chu's voice suddenly fell silent. "It doesn't seem... to hurt that much?"

In fact, Antia within his body was capable of intercepting this attack. Not to mention Antia, even Qin Chu himself was able to dodge it, but this would not be conducive to his next plan.

Therefore, Qin Chu chose to endure this attack head-on. He thought it would be very painful, but the sensation on his body surprised Qin Chu. Apart from the slight discomfort of a long spear piercing his stomach, he didn't feel much stinging pain. It seemed that the Holy Healing had a certain pain-relieving effect.

That's not all. Even though Qin Chu hadn't pulled the spear out of his body, the power of Holy Healing had already activated on its own, beginning to repair the wounds on Qin Chu's body and slowly pushing the spear out of his body.

The effects of the Holy Healing Authority are beyond imagination. As long as it is not an instantaneous death, it can almost always heal to a great extent in a short period of time.

Norma, however, was horrified by the scene. She stared blankly as blood gushed from Qin Chu's body, which trembled uncontrollably. In Norma's eyes, Qin Chu's somewhat astonished face was automatically replaced by pain, and his calm voice turned into the silence of impending death.

It was this man; he saw the attack just now and clearly had a chance to dodge it.

But he didn't.

He merely pushed himself away, giving her a chance to live, while letting the spear pierce through his body.

Norma clenched her teeth, but her lips trembled.

Her beautiful eyes had turned into empty, grayish-white pupils at some point.

She raised her head, looking out the window at the Knight clad in crimson armor. "Karthus..."

She recognized the Crimson Knight at a glance.

"You... killed the Hero..."

What a fine gentleman he is!

He took care of himself all the way, saving himself from the killers.

Despite having a grudge against Karthus, she was still willing to visit Karthus once. Even when facing a deadly threat, her first choice was not to hide herself, but to push him away.

Such a good man was ruthlessly killed by Karthus.

At this moment, Norma completely gave up on Karthus. Just as Mr. Qin had said before, Karthus had long been corrupted by the will of the Evil God, and the current Karthus could no longer even be considered human.

His entire body was shrouded in a thick stench of blood, and his waist was draped with heads, like a demon emerging from a sea of blood... Perhaps, when Karthus first came into contact with the power of darkness, this fate was already sealed.

All my efforts and sacrifices were in vain.

Just now, he even tried to kill himself.

If Mr. Qin hadn't pushed him away in time, he would be in the same situation as Mr. Qin.

She finally understood what Qin Chu meant: face your own power, it's your talent, don't run away from it, you can use your power to protect the people you care about.

However, by the time Norma finally understood this, it was too late.

Ha ho ho ho ho...

Right outside the window, Karthus was still laughing maniacally, his blood surging. Did Qin Chu really think he could oppose him?

This foolish man, doesn't he know that Violet, Ekaterina, and Athena are not by his side now...? A mere Hero is no match for him at all. Killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

The crimson light in his pupils was fixed on Qin Chu. He wanted to see Qin Chu's agonizing despair before he died, to watch Qin Chu struggle in a pool of blood. That would bring Karthus unparalleled pleasure.

The maniacal laughter abruptly ceased, and a crimson light beneath the helmet suddenly leaped up, filled with astonishment. The red light was tinged with disbelief, and a finger pointed at Norma...

... behind him.

A muffled roar came from his mouth.

Right behind Norma, Qin Chu actually got up from the ground again, his face showing no pain whatsoever. He looked completely unharmed. He scratched his hair, then grabbed the scarlet spear with one hand and forcefully pulled it out of his body. The wound on his stomach was healing at an extremely fast speed, and even the blood that had flowed out was flowing back.

What... what kind of ability is this?

Even the Holy Church's Great Healing Restoration Spell do not have such exaggerated effects.

That wasn't all. After his wounds had completely healed, Qin Chu even stretched vigorously and yawned as if he were feeling a bit sleepy.

Then he extended the third finger of his right hand toward Karthus.

Although Karthus didn't know what the gesture meant, Karthus felt deeply insulted and his finger trembled as he pointed at Qin Chu.

Unfortunately, Norma's mental state had clearly deteriorated at this moment... This timid girl had been greatly traumatized by the sight of Qin Chu being pierced by a spear and bleeding profusely in front of her.

This is the only person besides my parents who truly cares about me.

Her mind was on the verge of collapse, her eyes fixed on the murderer who killed Qin Chu, the one who had never cared about her, only mocked and ignored her, and the one she had endured five years of hardship to save— Karthus!

Norma stared at Karthus's finger pointing at her, her empty eyes emitting a cold voice. "You mean, I'm the next one to die?"

"I tried so hard to save you, to free you from the entanglement of darkness and evil, so you could return to a normal life. I searched everywhere in the Imperial City, hoping to plead for you and spare you from execution. But you are no longer worthy of being human. You even killed a good person like Mr. Qin."

At that moment, Norma seemed to suddenly realize that her feelings for Karthus might not have been true love all along.

It's just a false, self-righteous sense of responsibility.
