Chapter 175 God of Darkness, Blood, and Slaughter (4)

Karthus had become a complete monster, and Qin Chu's pupils suddenly contracted when he saw the X-shaped mark on his muscular chest.

The mark was almost identical to the one he had seen on the assassin who killed Norma, only larger and more menacing.

At this moment, Qin Chu became increasingly convinced that a special organization existed on the Skyvault Continent, an organization that would assassinate Witch. The deity worshipped by this organization was the same one that corrupted Karthus.

Assassinating the Witch?

Is it because they are wary of the power possessed by Witch?

Karthus's transformation was not even something he did voluntarily; rather, it was altered under the guidance or even manipulation of some force.

Qin Chu could roughly deduce that Karthus suffered immense torture in the cage, and his own actions had driven Karthus to madness. He sacrificed everything, appearing as Bone Knight in preparation for revenge and slaughter.

However, the Bone Knight's body was shattered by Norma, and then some being in the Void manipulated Karthus to transform into this form. They cannot directly enter this world, and can only achieve their goals through believers or corruption. Perhaps this form is the true form of the believers of that mysterious god.

Karthus was howling and roaring on the ground.

Thick blood mist swirled around his body, and the pungent smell of blood carried far and wide.

Its enormous eyes were bloodshot, filled with ferocity and brutality; apart from a strong Desire for destruction and slaughter, there was no other emotion in its pupils.

At this moment, Karthus had completely transformed into a killing machine.

Killing will become the only thing he insists on.

A voluptuous, tall, blonde elf and a flat-chested blonde girl with twin ponytails also appeared.

Qin Chu's gaze swept over the two people; they were Sylph and Aili.

It seems that these two have also ended their conspiracy with Rosweisse. They rushed over immediately after sensing the commotion and looked at the monster in the pit with surprise on their faces.

The terrifying monster was almost unrecognizable, but Sylph still keenly sensed a familiar aura. Her eyes widened, and a few seconds later, Sylph couldn't help but scream, "Brother Karthus?"

Aili, standing beside her, paused for a moment, then her face filled with disbelief. "Sylph, what nonsense are you talking about? This is Karthus? How is this possible..."

The monster in the pit seemed to react to the name Karthus, its massive head turning towards Sylph, a flicker of struggle in its eyes.

Sylph's body trembled uncontrollably, her teeth biting her lower lip. She knew this was Karthus.

Although she was unwilling to sacrifice her body to ask Qin Chu for help in order to save Karthus, seeing Karthus in his current state still filled Sylph with deep sorrow, and she wanted to awaken Karthus's will.

But it was all too late.

The slight struggle in the monster's eyes was quickly replaced by a strange sound in its ear.

"

Go and kill!

Only by killing without regard for the consequences can one obtain His blessing.

The sound of gushing blood and breaking bones is the best prayer.

Go and kill!

Don't let any prey escape.

Start with your closest loved ones!

Adorn your body with the heads of your enemies, moisten your parched throat with their blood; let blood soak the earth, let bones carpet the ground, and celebrate the glory of the God of Blood, Darkness, and Slaughter.

"

Karthus's eyes flashed red, and in the next instant he raised his enormous head and let out a shrill roar towards the sky.

Hold head high!

The sound, like muffled thunder, rolled across the sky.

Even the bright moon overhead seemed to hide behind the clouds in fear.

The entire world was shrouded in a gloomy darkness. The next second, Karthus suddenly fixed his gaze on Sylph...

Start with the people closest to you.

In Karthus's heart, Jello was undoubtedly number one.

Secondly, there's Sylph. Because he saved Sylph's life, Karthus and Sylph have a pretty good relationship. She's the only woman in the Hero's Party who gets close to Karthus... In fact, Karthus once fantasized that it would be nice to be with Sylph, but unfortunately, Sylph only has eyes for Jello.

Secondly, there are the two good brothers, Benson and Muse.

Then came the other members of the Hero's Party.

Next up is Norma.

Then there were the other unrelated people.

If Sylph hadn't been there, Norma would have been the first person Karthus attacked, but now Sylph has drawn Norma's fire.

With a roar, Karthus's powerful legs suddenly slammed into the ground, propelling him forward like a cannonball. In an instant, he appeared before Sylph, his sharp claws reaching for Sylph head.

The sharp claws tore through the air, making a hissing sound.

Although Sylph was grieving, she wouldn't let herself die. She gritted her teeth, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and suddenly retreated. Aili beside her also retreated immediately, and her figure vanished in an instant.

Sylph drew her longbow and aimed at Karthus, but the Magic Power conjured arrow remained unreleased. "Brother Karthus... no... stop... I don't want to hurt you..."

The enraged Karthus could no longer hear Sylph's voice. His attack missed, and without pausing, Karthus piercing scream erupted from his gaping maw, "Kill..."

Bang...

As the terrifying sound echoed, although he wasn't the primary target, Qin Chu still felt as if his head had been struck heavily by a hammer, the pain accompanied by dizziness.

His voice was filled with a power that struck straight to the soul.

Qin Chu's vision went completely red in an instant, and something seemed to be flowing uncontrollably from his nostrils.

Turning her head, Norma's nose, mouth, and eyes were covered in blood; her face was deathly pale, and she was swaying unsteadily, as if she might fall at any moment.

After being personally manipulated by the God of Darkness, Blood, and Slaughter, and completely transformed into a raging monster, Karthus's combat power skyrocketed, making him completely different from so-called Magic Creature.

Only Wadsworth, Augustus, and Saint Monica could withstand the impact of the screams, but their facial expressions were still quite unpleasant.

His eyes were bloodshot and lined with red veins.

As the direct victim of the sonic attack, Sylph's situation was even worse. She froze instantly, her beautiful face contorted with veins, making her look somewhat ferocious.

Aili, standing beside him, had her invisibility shattered instantly. Her slender body was flung away by an invisible force, and just as she was about to crash into a broken lamppost behind her, she nimbly spun in mid-air. With a flick of her finger, she gently hooked her finger onto the lamppost, exerted a little force, and with a whoosh, she soared into the air, standing atop the lamppost. Her sea-blue eyes were fixed on Karthus ahead, her gaze filled with solemnity.

This strength is probably no less than that of the Abyss Four Heavenly Kings under the command of Demon King Nag.

Sylph was momentarily paralyzed by dizziness. Taking advantage of this moment, Karthus lunged forward, his sharp claws appearing directly in front of Sylph, about to tear her face to shreds.

Qin Chu felt it was a bit of a waste that Sylph hadn't personally taken care of the meal, but it seemed that it would be quite interesting if the members of the Hero's Party perished in their infighting.

Unfortunately, just as the claws were an inch away from Sylph's face, they could go no further. The sharp force tore a small wound on Sylph's fair face, and a bead of bright red blood rolled down her cheek, but she ultimately did not die.

Two tan chains were tightly bound around Karthus's legs.

Even with Karthus's immense strength, he couldn't break free for a time.

When Qin Chu saw the two chains, his eyes narrowed, and a strange smile appeared on his face... Ha, how familiar this power is.

The Earth Mother's Embrace can lock the Battle Qi within the target's body.

During her first playthrough, Saint Monica used these two chains to bind her legs, completely preventing her from unleashing her surging Battle Qi.

Karthus's body fell to the ground with a thud.

The thwarted killing irritated Karthus, who slashed at the chains binding his legs with his claws.

However, two silver chains suddenly tore through the Void, dancing wildly like silver snakes, winding graceful arcs in mid-air, and instantly wrapped around Karthus's wrists.

The Holy Church's most powerful control technique, the Heavenly Prison's Shackles.

Once upon a time, these two chains also bound his wrists, sealing the magic within him, and together with the Earth Mother's Embrace, suspended his body in mid-air.

Everything he had ever experienced was now playing out on Karthus. One wonders what Karthus's feelings were at that moment.

Oh, I'd already forgotten.

This guy has completely gone mad.

The scene before me is truly delightful.

It would be even better if the Sword of Damocles were hanging above Karthus's head, and it would be perfect if there were more spectators around and more shouts.

Karthus, you should be grateful that you managed to get both Saint Monica and Augustus to attack at the same time.

Of course, we can't forget Wadsworth.

Qin Chu simply watched quietly, showing no intention of intervening. He could leave the matter to those other people; he was content to simply enjoy Karthus's miserable state.

Wadsworth's figure had appeared above Karthus's head without anyone noticing, his right hand outstretched and clenched into a fist.

All the power in his body was gathering in his right fist.

The Abshien Family's inherited Battle Qi is one of the highest-ranking Battle Qi in the entire Skyvault Continent:

Ruin!

Only those who have ascended to the throne are qualified to cultivate, meaning that at any given time, only one person on the Skyvault Continent can use the power of the Ruin Battle Qi.

Even the originally designated heir to the throne, the eldest prince Lance, was not qualified to study.

This is a mysterious and powerful force. In battle, Battle Qi can penetrate directly through the target's armor and skin, seeping into the flesh and bones, and then wreaking havoc.

Those killed by the Ruin Battle Qi will have their bodies turned into a paste, with both flesh and bones crushed into dust.

After the highly concentrated Battle Qi gathered to its limit in his fist, Wadsworth's body crashed to the ground.

"One punch... shatters the earth!"

Boom...

In an instant, the earth cracked.

The rocks and soil around Karthus were all blasted away, leaving only a deep crater tens of meters in diameter on the ground.

Even Sylph was retreating, creating distance to avoid being affected by the shockwave.

Aili had already jumped onto another lamppost, the original one now shattered into pieces.

Ruin Battle Qi is a martial art technique consisting of three moves used in combination.

One Punch Shakes the Earth, One Punch Shatters the Mountain, One Punch Breaks the Sky!

With these three moves, Wadsworth was virtually invincible. Apart from Hero and Demon King, he could even put up a fight against the Abyss Four Heavenly Kings under the Demon King's command. Ordinary Abyssal Demon General were no match for Wadsworth.

A smug look appeared on Wadsworth's rugged old face. With a single punch, Karthus's head exploded, and cold black liquid splattered out, sticking to the chains.

Only a headless corpse remained before them, lying on the ground convulsing.

"This guy's got a really hard head," Wadsworth said, shaking his arm.

But soon, he sensed something was wrong and instinctively stepped back... He saw that right where Karthus's head had shattered, dark red things that looked like blood vessels and veins were writhing and growing densely at the break.

The sight of it sent chills down Wadsworth's spine.

Soon, these things tangled together, forming a round shape that seemed to be a head...

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?" Wadsworth couldn't help but turn around and ask Augustus and Saint Monica behind him.

They had fought many Magic Creature, but none were as Magic Creature as this.

That wasn't all. The splattered liquid seemed to carry a strong sense of blasphemy, splashing onto the Heavenly Prison's Shackles and the Earth Mother's Embrace, immediately producing a series of hissing and crackling sounds. The four chains binding Karthus seemed to be on the verge of being corroded and breaking.

Saint Monica and Augustus wore solemn expressions; they had never encountered such a strange fellow among the enemies they had faced.

"Everyone..."

Just then, a melodious voice came from mid-air.

His voice was clear and resonant, possessing a powerful, penetrating quality.

If this guy weren't currently standing at the window of the Sykes Grand Hotel, it would look almost exactly like that.

"We are no longer fighting Karthus... but rather the Evil God Karthus worships..."

"That is our real enemy."

"Although we don't know what kind of being it is, it's definitely not a good thing to be able to transform its followers into such ugly and twisted monsters."
