Yekaterina's Sacrifice Is Huge
Benson is dead, Karthus is under control, Ekaterina has been manipulated, Athena has been deceived... So, who will be the next target?
Ronald and Eileen seem to be in the Magic Creature's territory... Should we leave Aili and Sylph alone for now and start with Eileen and Ronald?
Qin Chu pondered this in his heart.
After all, he already had a detailed plan over there.
However, the fact that a certain Pokémon had come to him of its own accord puzzled Qin Chu.
"Also, Athena has been going to the library a lot lately. I've investigated the books Athena's borrowed, and almost all of them are related to souls, Soul Fragment, and Soul Crystal..." Ekaterina added after a moment's thought.
Then, with a hopeful look on its face, it raised its head and looked at Qin Chu, like a pet longing for its master's reward. Its eyes seemed to say: Master, didn't I do a good job?
Sure enough, although Qin Chu's disguise was quite good and his performance was almost perfect, Athena could sense the slight unnaturalness after calming down. She would use various channels to confirm her suspicions.
Perhaps we should have acted against Athena a little earlier.
Qin Chu naturally understood Ekaterina's thoughts. He wasn't the kind of capitalist who would only exploit his subordinates. He would naturally reward Ekaterina for her capable work.
His fingers traced along Ekaterina's fair cheek, a gentle smile spreading across his face, "Ekaterina, you did very well this time... I'm very satisfied."
Qin Chu removed the barrier and looked at Ekaterina, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him with a bright and joyful smile on her face, while his eyes were glancing out the window out of the corner of his eye.
Right outside the window, a golden-haired elf stood quietly on a treetop, letting the night wind blow through her long, flowing hair, her emerald green eyes filled with murderous intent.
Chapter 3 is here, and there's one more chapter coming around 7 PM.
Chapter 179 Ekaterina's Sacrifice Was Huge (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)
(Recommendation)
In legends, elves are a peace-loving race.
They dislike killing and have no interest in the propagation of their race.
But Sylph is clearly unqualified as an elf, at least in terms of disliking killing.
Whether it was out of an instinctive loathing for Qin Chu, or because Qin Chu purified Karthus and completely killed her brother Karthus, Sylph hated Qin Chu the extreme and wished she could grind him to dust.
The murderous intent was so intense that even Sylph was somewhat unable to control herself.
It shouldn't have been like this. Although Sylph had a volatile temper, she wasn't this easily angered... Especially after arriving at the palace and realizing Violet's strength, Sylph and Aili discussed postponing the assassination of Qin Chu and letting this despicable man live a few more days.
However, when the night was deep and quiet, and he was alone in a dark room, the murderous intent in his chest began to spread rapidly, as if stimulated by something.
Sylph couldn't bear it any longer, so she closed her eyes tightly, hoping to fall asleep quickly and stop thinking about these messy things.
But just as Sylph closed her eyes, a figure suddenly appeared before her.
"Brother Karthus..."
She couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
All I could see was Karthus standing quietly by the bed, his face covered in filth and blood, his body almost entirely covered in wounds, many of which were so deep that the bone was visible.
He was crying, tears mixed with blood rolling down his mangled face.
The painful sobs filled Sylph's heart with sorrow. He must be in so much pain and suffering.
"Sister Sylph... it hurts so much..."
The sound was deep and ethereal, seeping into Sylph's ears in wisps.
Sylph's body was trembling. Yes, it must have hurt terribly to have that silver lightsaber spinning inside her head.
Being burned by silver flames must be incredibly agonizing, right?
The hatred in Sylph's emerald eyes grew even stronger.
All of this was done by that bastard Qin Chu.
She did nothing for Karthus, yet she hated Qin Chu, who killed Karthus, who was wreaking havoc everywhere, because they could no longer save him.
This beautiful elf's inner self is not as outstanding as her appearance and strength.
Karthus moved closer to Sylph on the bed, his blood-stained fingers, which even revealed white bones, reaching out to touch Sylph 'Sylph cheek.
"My dearest sister Sylph, you will avenge me, won't you?"
"My soul is suffering cruel torment in hell. You will definitely send Qin Chu down with you, won't you? I trusted you so much..."
Sylph's emerald eyes gleamed with an eerie light. "Brother Karthus, I promise you, I will kill Qin Chu. I will inflict upon Qin Chu a hundredfold, a thousandfold, the pain you have suffered."
"That puts my mind at ease." Karthus smiled, an X-shaped mark appearing in his eyes.
The figure gradually disappeared.
Sylph suddenly woke up from her bed. Karthus was no longer there. She touched the tear-streaked cheeks, silently got out of bed, and opened the window.
Bathed in moonlight, a twisted murderous intent permeated his fair face, and a faint red glow flickered in his emerald eyes.
Unbeknownst to Sylph, just below her long neck, between her sexy collarbones, were two very light-colored marks that crossed each other.
Sylph took a breath. In the end, she still had to kill Qin Chu, otherwise her heart would never find peace, and the nightmare would continue.
Her figure moved as nimbly as a ghost, silently leaving the room and traversing the vast gardens of the palace. Even a thin leaf was enough to support Sylph's body.
Perhaps that's why he's known as the Ghost Archer.
Finally, she found Qin Chu's bedroom. She was prepared to draw her longbow, shoot an arrow straight through Qin Chu's head, and then flee for her life.
Unexpectedly, there was another person in Qin Chu's room: Ekaterina.
The two were talking about something, but perhaps because they were too far apart, even Sylph, who had excellent hearing, couldn't hear them, which made Sylph a little irritated.
She couldn't act Ekaterina was present; she would definitely stop her, because that despicable woman didn't care about her brother Karthus's life or death at all.
The only saving grace was that this situation didn't last long; they soon ended their conversation. Just when Sylph thought that Ekaterina would soon leave Sylph Qin Chu's bedroom, things took an unexpected turn.
She didn't leave; instead, she knelt before Qin Chu. Ekaterina had completely abandoned her pride as the Scarlet Valkyrie, her face now filled with a charming and ingratiating smile...
Then...
Oh, God.
What on earth is Ekaterina doing?
Sylph almost screamed, her body shuddering and goosebumps rising all over her.
Her body instantly became hot, and the crimson color quickly spread from her fair neck to her cheeks and ears.
A pair of small hands suddenly rose up and shielded her eyes.
What happened in the bedroom was something Sylph didn't have the courage to look at, but her fingers involuntarily cracked open.
So shameful, so shameless, so filthy...
Sylph didn't know how to describe what she had seen.
She felt that her entire worldview had been completely overturned.
She stood quietly on a leaf at the top of a tree, her legs trembling. The leaf swayed in the night wind, and Sylph almost fell to the ground. She had to change her position and find a sturdy tree trunk to sit on.
His internal Magic Power and Battle Qi were in complete disarray.
Consciousness was a complete mess.
She knew that Ekaterina had made great sacrifices to revive Jello, even going so far as to offer herself to Qin Chu.
But I never imagined it would require such a sacrifice.
Her cheeks were burning hot as she silently watched the two figures inside, waiting for the moment it would all be over.
She also blamed Qin Chu for the shame she had suffered.
Unbeknownst to Sylph, while she was gazing at Qin Chu and Ekaterina, two other people were watching her with smiles on their faces.
Violet and Antia.
Sylph thought her actions were silent and unnoticed, but little did she know that the entire palace was under Violet's surveillance.
The proverb "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" perfectly describes this situation.
Moreover, this small mantis wasn't hunting a cicada at all, but a fierce and ruthless venomous snake. Who was the prey?
Violet used Message Magic to inform Qin Chu of Sylph's whereabouts and asked if he wanted to kill her, which was not a difficult task for Violet.
Although Sylph is quite strong, she is no match for the Storm Witch; killing her would be no more difficult than killing Karthus.
But Qin Chu refused.
Qin Chu intends to deal with this woman personally.
At that moment, Violet understood that unprecedented torment awaited Sylph.
Next to Violet is Antia.
The Ghost Knight remained expressionless and indifferent as always. Perhaps because she had spent more time by Qin Chu's side, her eyes had become more lively, and her speech was clearer than before.
As friends from a thousand years ago, even though Antia can't remember anything, they still occasionally gather together, like this, sitting on tree branches in the night breeze, doing nothing, saying nothing, leaning against each other, gazing at the night sky, or something else.
As time ticked by, the expression on Sylph's face grew increasingly disgusted and repulsive.
Elves dislike such things, and Qin Chu's rude behavior only fueled Sylph's disgust. In Sylph's mind, Qin Chu had become a completely worthless scumbag.
He usually maintains a very good gentlemanly facade, but once you peel back that layer, you'll find out just how filthy his soul is.
That kind of bastard deserves to be killed.
Every second of waiting felt like hell to Sylph.
After an unknown amount of time, things finally calmed down inside the room. Ekaterina gathered up the armor that had been scattered everywhere, put it back on, and then gracefully left Qin Chu's bedroom.
That scene made Sylph breathe a long sigh of relief.
It's finally over.
Now, this scumbag's life can finally end.
Sylph stood up from the tree branch, her slender and full figure ready to draw her bow and aim at Qin Chu's head, when an arrow pierced right through his skull.
But her legs buckled, and Sylph couldn't help but let out a gasp as she fell backward.
Fortunately, Sylph reacted quickly and managed to grab a tree branch to steady herself, preventing her from becoming too disheveled. The scene she had just secretly spied on made Sylph feel not only disgust, aversion, and hatred, but also extreme sensitivity and shame.
Her legs had lost all strength and became sore and numb.
Sylph blushed deeply at her humiliating behavior. Luckily, no one else was around, and no one witnessed the disgraceful state of this dignified Ghost Archer; otherwise, she would have been too ashamed to show her face.
Little did Sylph know that her ridiculous actions were being witnessed by Antia and Violet.
Sylph took a breath, reassuring herself that it wasn't an unnecessary reaction from her body, but simply that her legs had gone numb from sitting in the tree for too long.
She nodded slightly. Yes, that's it.
She adjusted her breathing, touched a leaf with her toes, and regained her graceful posture.
A beautifully shaped longbow, shimmering with emerald light, appeared in her palm. The bow wasn't very strong; its decorations were overly ornate, severely impacting its power. Yet, Sylph chose it without hesitation, for only such a beautiful object could be worthy of an equally beautiful and elegant elf.
He pinched the bowstring with two fingers, and with a little force, the longbow was drawn into a full moon shape.
A Magic Power spread from the bowstring along the fingertips, quickly condensing into a bluish-gray arrow.
Sylph never carries a quiver or similar tool when shooting arrows; it looks too ugly and doesn't suit the taste of elves, lacking elegance. She prefers to condense wind elements into arrows instead.
It is more powerful than ordinary arrows and is also very convenient to use.
She narrowed one eye, and in her vision, Qin Chu's body, which had just stood up, overlapped with the tip of the arrow.
"Go to hell, you scum," Sylph cursed inwardly.
She planned to end Qin Chu's life first, then take away Qin Chu soul and torture him in a secluded place... Qin Chu would experience the same pain his brother Karthus had endured.
The next instant, the fingers loosened.
The bluish-gray arrow silently tore through the air, heading straight for Qin Chu's nape.
Just then, Qin Chu seemed to notice something on the ground and suddenly bent down.
With a whoosh, the Wind Arrow grazed Qin Chu's hair and pierced through the wall in front of him.
This scene stunned Sylph. She was somewhat bewildered and even doubted whether she had seen something wrong. What exactly happened just now? How did Qin Chu dodge it?
She saw Qin Chu tying his shoelaces.
