The Power of Holy Light, Infused (2)

"Especially now that Evil God's Corruption this world, the importance of Hero has increased dramatically. Moreover, the Hero just saved so many nobles from the Evil God's oppression; he is someone everyone worships and admires, an emissary of the Goddess of Holy Light..."

"Once what just happened is exposed, Sylph, I'm absolutely certain you're dead."

Sylph clenched her small fists instinctively. She wanted to punch Qin Chu hard in his malicious face, but she knew that if she did, there would be no room for negotiation.

The fact that Qin Chu didn't immediately shout this news out loud means that he has something he wants to get from me.

As for what this thing was, Sylph had a rough idea in her mind.

Does this mean I, too, will be like Ekaterina and Athena, wantonly violated by Hero?

Qin Chu didn't care about Sylph's thoughts and smiled, "Moreover, it's not just you who will die; the former members of the Hero's Party will also be affected."

"The same goes for the First-Generation Hero."

"They'll think the First-Generation Hero had something wrong with him. Why did he choose Hero's Party? First a Death Knight, and now a Ghost Archer? When will this end?"

"What exactly does he want to do? What is his purpose? Does he not want to save the Skyvault Continent at all?"

Sylph's face suddenly turned pale.

She wasn't afraid of death, but she couldn't accept that she had brought shame upon Jello Geralt.

Most importantly, it could even cause the entire Hero's Party's plan to fail, making it impossible for Jello to be resurrected.

She couldn't bear this outcome.

With her teeth clenched, after a brief hesitation, Sylph directly removed her sexy and form-fitting archer leather armor, revealing her full and beautiful figure.

Beautiful eyes closed:

"Whatever you want to do, hurry up and do it..."

He's just after my body; I'll give it to him.

As long as it doesn't affect Jello's resurrection, she can bear any consequences. Perhaps because of Ekaterina and Athena's examples, making this decision isn't too difficult.

In this short time, Sylph struggled to think of a way to keep Qin Chu in check, Qin Chu probably wouldn't give her a chance, would he?

However, Sylph underestimated Qin Chu.

Sylph's personality is absolutely the worst in the Hero's Party; she is selfish, Pride, conceited, and foolish.

She was as selfish as Rosweisse, but without Rosweisse's cunning; as Pride as Ronald, but without Ronald's vigilance; as conceited as Athena, but without Athena's intelligence.

Aside from his good looks, he's almost entirely useless.

Even though this woman had a beautiful figure and a perfect face, and was a rare elf, Qin Chu felt almost no Desire for her... Ekaterina and Athena, on the other hand, could arouse Qin Chu's interest slightly.

Her soul was so ugly that Qin Chu found it repulsive... but it was a very beautiful body, which could perhaps serve as a vessel for flesh-giving, or be made into an exquisite and beautiful puppet.

To be honest, Qin Chu was also puzzled as to why Jello would choose someone like that as his teammate. Was it a case of birds of a feather flocking together?

Wait a minute... Qin Chu suddenly thought of a very important question.

Jello's chosen Hero's Party consists of ten members.

Almost all of them have some kind of problem.

Karthus, who had been completely corrupted by the Evil God and transformed into a hideous monster, was purified.

Below Sylph's collarbone, the same X-shaped symbol as on Karthus's chest and on the Witch Slayer's body, appeared, symbolizing that crimson deity.

Needless to say, it was through the seven scrolls hidden by Rosweisse that Qin Chu learned about the mysterious existence in the Void. Rosweisse's relationship with the Void was closer than anyone else's.

Three out of ten people already have some kind of connection with the Evil God. Is this really just a pure coincidence?

This is something we can study in more detail later.

Qin Chu was lost in thought, while Sylph awaited the arrival of her nightmare. The night wind blew through the window, and a layer of fine goosebumps appeared on Sylph's rounded shoulders.

She instinctively hugged her shoulders, trembling.

Just then, Sylph suddenly felt something land on her... Was it Qin Chu's hand? Her body trembled even more violently.

But soon, Sylph noticed that the sensation was a little off.

She opened her eyes somewhat dazedly, only to realize that what was landing on her was not Qin Chu's hand, but Qin Chu's coat.

She looked at Qin Chu a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.

"Miss Sylph, do you think I'm threatening you and trying to take your body?" Qin Chu smiled and asked in a soothing tone.

"Isn't that right?" Sylph muttered to herself.

"I'm sorry if this has caused you such a misunderstanding," Qin Chu said leisurely.

Sylph grew increasingly confused. Was the gentlemanly man before her the same person who had just been pressing and threatening her?

This was exactly the effect Qin Chu wanted to see; he wanted to confuse Sylph, because a confused woman is the easiest to deceive...

No, it's more like "deceived"... no, it should be "persuaded"!

"Ah, I remember now, I glanced at your chest earlier. You didn't think I was peeking at your breasts, did you?" Qin Chu gently patted his head, as if he had remembered something.

Sylph bit her lip and remained silent. The stark contrast between her previous and current behavior made Sylph feel even more confused, and she didn't know how to answer.

"Actually, that's not the case. That would be very impolite to a gentleman... Of course, I'm not saying Miss Sylph isn't beautiful enough to attract a gentleman's attention," Qin Chu said with a deliberately light laugh.

"Actually, I care about other things."

Sylph's small hands unconsciously caressed her chest; she didn't know what else besides this place could attract the attention of the opposite sex.

"I never intended to threaten Miss Sylph, nor did I harbor any resentment towards Miss Sylph for attempting to assassinate me. Please believe me on this point, Miss Sylph."

"Because I know that the idea of murdering me was not Miss Sylph's true intention."

No, that's what I really think. I really want to kill you, Sylph muttered to herself. Of course, while she was foolish, she wasn't foolish enough to say those words aloud.

"Everything I said before was just to calm you down, Miss Sylph, so that we could continue our conversation. Otherwise, it could have irreversible consequences."

"I don't mean to threaten you, nor do I covet your beautiful body."

Qin Chu stared intently at Sylph, who had closed her eyes, for a moment, then stepped back slightly.

"I only did it for..."

"I'll save you!"

Save yourself?

Sylph, who had kept her eyes tightly closed, finally opened them. She looked at Qin Chu blankly and saw Qin Chu leaning against the back of his chair, seemingly enveloped in a soft, hazy Holy Light.

It has an inexplicable air of mystery and holiness.

"I don't think there's anything about me that's worth saving."

"Yeah!"

Qin Chu leaned back leisurely, half-closing his eyes, deliberately making his voice full of pity. "Then, my poor elf..."

There's a mirror over there.

Mirror?

Sylph was somewhat suspicious, but she still walked to the mirror and looked at her perfect body reflected in the full-length mirror.

This isn't Sylph boasting; she has always been very confident in her figure and appearance.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her body, but as she looked around, Sylph seemed to discover something. Her face gradually turned pale with fear, and her body trembled involuntarily.

Just below the collarbone, in the middle of the chest, two faint red marks appeared at some unknown time, crossing in front of the chest to form a strange X-shaped pattern.

Sylph tried to wipe them off, but it was no use; the two marks seemed to be branded onto her body.

"See that?"

"Does this feel familiar...?"

"That's right. When Karthus was fully transformed into his beast form, he also had similar marks on his chest, only they were more pronounced and bloodier than yours."

"My poor elf, I sensed it the moment you appeared in this room; you... have been Evil God's Corruption."

"Perhaps, before long, you too will become a monster like Karthus, and all you'll know is killing, starting with those closest to you."

Sylph's body trembled, her face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and her beautiful eyes were filled with intense fear. The thought of becoming like Karthus sent chills down her spine.

No, absolutely not!

"I don't want this tragedy to happen, so I want to save you..."

"Beautiful elf lady, you don't want to become a monster like Karthus, do you?"

Chapter 182 Infusing the Power of Holy Light (2)

Qin Chu's compassionate voice made Sylph tremble all over; her face turned as pale as paper, devoid of any color.

His pupils dilated as if in an earthquake, revealing an unyielding fear.

To become like Karthus?

Sylph involuntarily recalled the appearance of Karthus after his transformation—the ugly monster covered in dark red scales and bony horns, with tumor-like growths on its head.

Completely irrational, like a mad dog, all it does is howl and roar.

They will no longer recognize their companions, and will have no feelings left; killing will become the only thing in their lives.

The thought of that scene sent chills down Sylph's spine. She absolutely did not want to become like that; it would be more despairing than being killed outright.

Her heart was filled with hatred.

She kept asking herself, why was she being targeted?

There were so many people there, why were everyone else unharmed, but I was the only one...?

Suddenly, Sylph's eyes narrowed.

She vaguely remembered that when the crimson light enveloped the earth, Qin Chu had showered holy light upon everyone, including Santa Monica, Augustus, Wordsworth, Norma, and even thousands of other nobles, all of whom were under the protection of Qin Chu's holy light.

Only Ai Aili felt that accepting Qin Chu's protection would be an insult to the proud members of the Hero's Party. Even without Qin Chu's Holy Light, they could still resist the power from the Void, so they voluntarily withdrew from the range of the Holy Light's protection.

Sylph's vision went black, and she almost fainted.

Deep down, I am filled with regret.

Could it be that because the two of them left the area of Holy Light, they were contaminated by the aura of the Evil God?

Sylph was on the verge of tears. Who could have imagined that a moment of arrogance would lead to such a result? If that's the case, doesn't that mean Aili, like herself, has also been corrupted by the Evil God?

Thinking about it this way actually made me feel a little better... After all, there are other people who are just as unlucky as me.

It must be said that her soul is truly filthy, almost the complete opposite of her beautiful appearance.

The panic in her heart subsided a little. Sylph tried to remain calm; at least she could still think. Besides, what Qin Chu just said?

He wanted to save himself?

In other words, is there still hope?

Just as Sylph was pondering, Qin Chu sighed softly, came up behind Sylph, and placed his hand on Sylph rounded shoulder. Although Qin Chu's touch made Sylph feel extremely disgusted and she wanted to shake Qin Chu hand off, she knew that her survival depended on Qin Chu's help.

So Sylph endured it.

"I'm sorry about what happened to Karthus," Qin Chu said. "Actually, if I had discovered Karthus's condition sooner, I could have saved him. My Holy Light can completely purify the filth."

"I originally thought that Karthus had only dabbled in the power of ordinary dark elements... As a mage, you should understand that dark elements are just one type of magical element, a pure form of energy, inherently neither good nor evil. The key lies in the person who uses this element."

"But I never expected that the source of darkness that Karthus had touched was actually Evil God. By the time I truly realized this, it was too late. Karthus had already completely merged with this evil and was utterly corrupted."

Sylph's eyes flickered as she stared at Qin Chu's reflection pressed against her back in the mirror, letting out a barely audible chuckle. He'd been acting so gentlemanly just moments before...

Her eyelids drooped: 'What if it were completely and utterly corrupted?'

"For someone like Karthus, the Holy Light could no longer expel the evil within him; it could only purify the filth along with its vessel, Karthus himself, through the holy flames."

Sylph's body trembled slightly.

"Sylph, don't panic, don't be afraid. You're different from Karthus. I discovered your condition very early, so there's still hope." Qin Chu smiled faintly.

Sylph felt a little relieved, then she thought of her companion, "Oh right, and Aili... what if Aili was also...?"

"Ah, you can rest assured about that. Aili doesn't seem to have been corrupted by the Evil God's power. I didn't notice anything wrong with Aili. Even if she was corrupted, her situation is much better than yours. You don't need to worry about her," Qin Chu said in a light tone.

However, a hint of Envy flashed across Sylph's face. Damn it, why is this happening?
