The Valkyrie Who Longs for a Reward (3)

In fact, even Qin Chu himself couldn't quite understand this. In his first playthrough, he worked diligently, wiping out the Magic Creature and bringing peace to the Skyvault Continent, allowing people to live peacefully in this world, but in the end, he gained nothing.

This time, he did nothing but bluff his way of displaying the brightness of the Holy Light in front of the people, and then inexplicably everyone began to worship him.

It has to be said that sometimes it's really hard to understand what these people are thinking!

On what grounds? On what grounds? On what grounds?

Resentment is spreading, and murderous intent is growing.

Just now, Sylph and Aili were not bathed in the Holy Light, not because Qin Chu was too stingy to provide them with protection.

Qin Chu showered Holy Light upon Sylph and Aili, and they dodged away.

Perhaps it was their pride that made them unable to accept Qin Chu's favor.

Throughout the entire process, Sylph and Aili were enveloped in a crimson light. At this moment, their intense killing intent made them lose control, especially as they watched Qin Chu enjoying nauseating praise and adoration from a large group of nobles—a glory that should have been reserved for Lord Jello.

I really want to kill him!

They had even forgotten the promise they made with Rosweisse, Athena, Ekaterina.

Now is not the time to kill Qin Chu. They still need Qin Chu to fight against the Magic Creature, and there are even more evil and terrifying beings than the Magic Creature. If they kill Qin Chu now, their plan will completely collapse, and Jello may never be able to be resurrected. Even if he is resurrected, he will have to face the Demon King and even the evil gods in the Void...

Their slender, pale fingers couldn't help but slowly reach for the weapons at their waists.

On the other side, in the Magic Creature's territory.

Demon King's Palace!

A burly figure clad in armor suddenly burst forth from the depths of the palace, its large, menacing eyes fixed on the night sky above, a Crimson gradually fading away.

That rough, rugged face gradually turned sinister and distorted.

The enormous claws clenched tightly!

The God of Darkness, Blood, and Slaughter!

A voluptuous, alluring woman emerged from the palace, her full, rounded body pressing against the man from behind. Her slender, pale fingers traced the man's chest as she spoke in a sweet, seductive voice, "Your Demon King, what are you looking at?"

Chapter 178 The Valkyrie's Desire for a Reward (3)

Among Magic Creature, the stronger and higher the rank, the more similar their appearance becomes to humans.

Of course, Succubus are an exception.

Even the weakest Succubus have appearances very similar to humans.

As the Demon King Nag, his appearance is very similar to that of a human. He has a body, head, and thick limbs just like a human. His strong body is covered with bulging, metallic muscles with smooth, perfect lines, exuding a powerful beauty.

Two slightly curved, dark red horns grew from his forehead, and his fingers were sharp claws like knives.

Unlike those grotesque, twisted, and violent Magic Creature, and even compared to his son Ramon's small, hill-like body, the Demon King seemed rather insignificant.

However, among the entire Magic Creature race, no one dares to underestimate the Demon King's power. Anyone who dares to challenge the Demon King's throne will suffer Demon King cruel punishment. He will use his sharp claws and surging, ocean-like Magic Power to prove his strength.

His eyes were bloodshot, his gaze fixed on the receding red tide in the sky, a barely perceptible, oppressive hatred emanating from them.

The God of Darkness, Blood, and Slaughter!

He sensed it; the aura of that madman.

Among the Void Gods, he wasn't the most twisted or evil, but he was definitely the most insane, because that guy always had only one goal: to plunge the entire world into endless slaughter and war for eternity, which would give him unparalleled pleasure.

Only the strong will receive His attention and favor, and that is not necessarily a good thing.

The woman behind him quietly pressed against the Demon King's back. This woman had a graceful and alluring figure, with fair cheeks and a beautiful face. Behind her was a slender black tail with a heart-shaped tip.

This is a Succubus.

She is still the current queen of the Succubus race.

She was one of the wives of the Demon King Nag, and was once Nag's most beloved queen.

Of course, the nature of the Succubus race made her not so obedient. She had put hats on Nag before, and not just once. Candice came into this world after one such hat-wearing event.

In some ways, Ramon and Candice are siblings... despite being from different fathers and mothers, and in Ramon's view, having any kind of connection with Candice would only be a stain on his noble bloodline.

However, the Demon King Nag didn't seem to care about any of this, since many of Nag concubines were stolen from other powerful Magic Creature.

The only thing that made the Succubus Queen somewhat suspicious was that, starting several years ago, the Demon King Nag seemed to have suddenly changed his personality. He seemed to have lost interest in conquering human lands and spent most of his time locking himself in the deepest part of the Demon King's Palace. He left the wars with humans to the Abyss Four Heavenly Kings, the Seventeen Demon General, and his sons.

No one knows what the Demon King is doing; he seems to be researching something strange.

He was so infatuated that he never even favored his own queen again.

This strange situation also aroused suspicion among some powerful beings among the Magic Creature. Apart from the difference in appearance, Magic Creature and humans are not much different in essence. It's just that the Greed and sadistic side of Magic Creature is more intense than that of humans.

Some Magic Creature suspect that the Demon King may have been severely injured and weakened in his duel with the First-Generation Hero, Jello.

A weakling like him is not worthy to sit on the throne.

As a result, some powerful Magic Creature began to challenge the Demon King.

However, Nag proved with his overwhelming strength that he was still the most powerful being among the Magic Creature... His strength even surpassed his former self, becoming unparalleled.

The Demon King's queen is trying her best to seduce Nag, hoping to regain Nag favor.

Whoever is favored by Nag will immediately rise in status among Magic Creature, even the Succubus queen.

Seducing the opposite sex is what Succubus excel at, let alone the Succubus queen, the most alluring and captivating being, whose supple body moved gently behind Nag.

As they whispered sweet nothings, a few strands of hair brushed against the Demon King's cheek, sending a tingling sensation through him.

Nag could clearly smell the Succubus Queen. Although she was wearing armor, he could almost feel how soft the woman's body was behind him. If he could hold her in his arms, it would be the ultimate pleasure.

Moreover, she is the Succubus queen; even if you lie there motionless, this woman will let you taste what true paradise is.

A slight ripple seemed to appear in Nag's scarlet eyes.

But he quickly regained his composure and ruthlessly pushed the woman behind him away. "Sorry, I have research to do tonight."

With that, Nag turned and returned to the Demon King's Palace, leaving the Succubus Queen alone under the bright moon, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment. Sometimes, the Succubus Queen even suspected that Nag might have suffered severe injuries to certain parts of his body during his battle with the Hero, causing him to lose his sexual abilities.

However, she could tell from some of the Demon King's reactions that he didn't.

She glanced around at the guards, looking for a suitable target to dispel her loneliness.

Being the Demon King's queen brings her a prestigious position, but it also brings some trouble... After all, not every Magic Creature has the courage to cuckold the Demon King.

After returning to the research lab, Nag closed the door.

Only the Demon King can open the door to this research lab; it's extremely soundproof.

The Demon King was alone in the empty room. His eyes gleamed with intense madness, his fingers clenched tightly, and the image of the Succubus Queen's alluring figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind, making him even more agitated.

"Hateful..."

On the other side...

Sylph and Aili ultimately did not make a move.

The desire to tear Qin Chu to pieces grew stronger in their hearts, eroding their very being, and their hands even reached for their weapons.

But in the end, I gave up.

There was no other way; there were still Wadsworth, Augustus, and Saint Monica here, and these three wouldn't let them kill Qin Chu.

Once they take action, their fate will be just as tragic as Karthus'.

Especially Sylph, because Karthus was personally purified by Qin Chu. Before Karthus was completely destroyed, Qin Chu crushed all of Karthus's dignity and honor, and purified him into ashes in public, bearing the deepest sins in the ugliest form.

This is practically tantamount to a public trial.

This made Sylph hate Qin Chu to the extreme.

Along with this, Sylph also harbored deep hatred for Norma. Norma was Karthus's fiancée, and to watch her husband turn to ashes under the Holy Light without showing any grief, and even having a close relationship with Qin Chu, the murderer of her fiancé, was something Sylph found absolutely unforgivable.

This woman is extremely selfish. She didn't consider that Karthus no longer has a human form and is just an ugly monster. Asking Norma to accept such a monster is asking too much of her.

After seeing off the nobles, Wadsworth and his two companions came to say goodbye.

Qin Chu and Norma returned to the palace together. Sylph and Aili exchanged a glance and silently followed behind. The two of them would also be staying at the palace as the archery instructor of the Hero and the thief instructor, respectively. The journey was not a good time to kill Qin Chu and Norma; they would have plenty of opportunities to do so after they arrived at the palace.

The Sykes Grand Hotel is clearly no longer habitable. The owner is devastated; his hotel has suffered severe damage, but no one has come to discuss compensation. He has to bear all the losses himself.

After returning to the palace, Violet briefly inquired about what had happened. She had also sensed the Crimson Violet that had appeared in the sky earlier, but she wasn't greatly affected.

The Storm Seed within her became exceptionally active at that time, helping Violet resist the invasion from the Void.

Qin Chu gave a brief explanation, then told Norma to choose a comfortable room and get some rest. Although he still had many questions for Norma was already exhausted, so they could discuss them tomorrow.

He went out once before and brought back a girl.

There are three this time...

This made Angelica puff out her cheeks, but Antasia didn't take it to heart; this woman was very confident.

Qin Chu also warmly welcomed Sylph and Aili, and the two women responded with strained smiles, as it was quite a difficult task for them.

Their gazes occasionally swept over Violet; they could sense that this woman was incredibly strong, extremely strong... They had thought that getting closer to Qin Chu would make things easier, but now it seemed that this woman would be the biggest obstacle.

That night, Ekaterina appeared in Qin Chu's bedroom.

After Qin Chu set up a soundproof barrier, Ekaterina relayed all the matters discussed by the five female members of the Hero's Party to Qin Chu.

"Aili and Sylph want to investigate the hidden power within their master."

"Rosweisse has discovered a special poison that is colorless and odorless, with no noticeable abnormalities, and its effects do not take effect immediately but rather accumulate in the body over time."

"Once the poison takes effect, it begins to corrode the body, leaving the target extremely weak and rendering their wounds unhealable..."

Qin Chu smiled grimly. He had tasted this poison countless times during his first playthrough, and he still couldn't forget its awful flavor.

"Some internal strife has occurred within the Hero's Party. Although all suspicion was ultimately placed on Augustus, the cracks have already appeared and will probably not be so easy to mend."

"Young Master Ronald, the swordsman, is currently trapped in the demon territory by Ramon and cannot escape for the time being. However, he is well hidden, and Ramon has not been able to capture him. But problems will definitely arise if this continues. I suspect that Aili's sister, Eileen, has already infiltrated the Magic Creature territory to rescue Ronald, but this is just my speculation and its accuracy is questionable."

"In addition, Rosweisse seems to have found another location that could be the location of a fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment, but it cannot be confirmed. She has contacted Mad Muse and will check it out on the way to the Imperial City."

"Athena strongly suspects there's a traitor within the Hero's Party, with her main suspects being Rosweisse and Sylph."

"Her relationship with Sylph was particularly bad."

Qin Chu nodded slightly. Keeping Ekaterina around for the time being was indeed the right decision. As a mole planted in the Hero's Party, Qin Chu could keep track of the Hero's Party's detailed movements through Ekaterina.

Ekaterina seemed to suddenly remember something. "Oh right, while the five of us were discussing things, besides Norma, two other guests came to visit: Carlos, the president of the Adventurers' Association, and Lex, the largest merchant in the Orwell Empire... But seeing that Rosweisse had other guests with her, they left."

Carlos Lex!

Two more enemies have appeared.

The Adventurers' Association is the Guardians' Association that Qin Chu formed after killing the Demon King Nag. They are responsible for clearing out the remaining scattered Magic Creature and receive payment in return.

When he was executed, what hung above his head was Carlos's signature move, the Sword of Damocles, which was said to be able to cut through anything.

Qin Chu touched his neck, which still seemed to hurt faintly; it was the sword that had severed his head.

As for Lex, he was the most famous merchant in the Orwell Empire. His title was Earl, not the highest-ranking noble, but his business acumen was so extraordinary that he monopolized the Orwell Empire, and even the entire Skyvault Continent, in terms of food processing, medicine production, and weapons manufacturing, accumulating astonishing wealth.

Later, they even monopolized the news media on the Skyvault Continent.

Lex's masterpiece was ruining his own reputation; his men were very good at spreading rumors.

The poison that Rosweisse added to the potion was also modified by Lex, making it even more potent.

Meanwhile, the weapons, including those for the Hero, were all manufactured by Lex. Just as Qin Chu was sealing the Witch for the second time, the weapon suddenly exploded; otherwise, Qin Chu's injuries would not have been so severe.

At the time, Qin Chu didn't think much of it, only that the impact of their battle was too strong and the weapons couldn't withstand the explosion. Now that he thinks about it, Lex probably tampered with the weapons long ago.

That woman, Rosweisse, is truly insidious and chilling.

She had been planning to kill herself for seven years... no, perhaps even longer. Before she was even summoned to this world, Rosweisse was already plotting how to kill herself.

While feigning innocence, they secretly plotted murder at every turn.

Qin Chu smiled, but upon hearing this news, he no longer felt particularly Wrath, only mocking.

We will not let a single one escape.

He will personally make those who killed him experience the most excruciating pain... He will meticulously prepare the best way to die for each of them.
