Athena's Been Acting a Little Strange Lately (3)

She wanted to persuade Onions, but suddenly Inas's eyes became somewhat vacant.

Obey him, protect him, follow his will!

Like a machine that has lost its power, Inas stood motionless.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but suddenly a glimmer of light appeared in her empty eyes. She seemed to have completely recovered, a confident smile playing on her lips, as she strode towards her tent with her long, beautiful legs.

Before she even reached the tent entrance, her brow furrowed slightly. She seemed to sense a very faint Magic Power fluctuation emanating from the sky above.

Instinctively, Inas tensed up, worried that someone might want to harm Onions.

She concealed her presence with Magic Power and immediately flew into the sky, chasing after the direction from which the Magic Power fluctuations were coming.

High above Onions's camp, the enemy seemed unconcerned about being spotted by the patrolling soldiers below.

Inas was surprised to find that there were actually three people on the other side, one of whom was none other than the Hero Qin Chu, and the other two were members of the Hero's Party, Athena and Sylph.

What do they want to do?

Inas had originally intended to launch an attack, stopped what he was doing. Although he loathed Qin Chu, he couldn't deny that this guy was Hero.

Moreover, Qin Chu has Athena and Sylph by his side; if a fight really broke out, she would definitely be no match for him.

Just as Inas hesitated, Qin Chu suddenly looked in her direction, a smile appearing on his face, "Miss Inas, now that you're here, there's no need to hide."

Qin Chu had already discovered himself; was it Sylph or Athena who told him?

Inas muttered to himself.

Continuing to hide it was pointless, so Inas decisively released the Magic Power seal and appeared in front of Qin Chu, Athena, and Sylph.

"Hero Excellency, I am very curious, what could possibly compel someone of your esteemed status to sneak here in the dead of night?" Inas asked bluntly. "This is hardly gentlemanly behavior."

This attitude caused Sylph and Athena to frown slightly, both feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

Qin Chu, however, didn't seem to care at all. He simply shrugged casually and said, "Miss Inas, aren't you curious about what's wrong with Onions?"

"Don't you think his behavior has been a bit off these past few days?" Qin Chu continued.

Inas instinctively placed her small hand on her cheek; half of her face still stung, and the marks of Onions's fingers remained on her throat.

Anyone with eyesight could easily see that Onions's personality has changed drastically in the last few days.

"I apologize, this might sound a bit harsh, but I suspect Onions may have been corrupted by filthy and evil forces." Qin Chu's voice gradually became serious.

Inas's pupils suddenly contracted.

His long, slender neck twitched slightly.

She understood perfectly well what being corrupted meant; did it mean that Prince Onions would turn into a monster like Karthus and the First Prince?

"That's absolutely impossible." Inas's voice was filled with extreme indifference and resistance.

"Nothing is impossible. The corruption of the Crown Prince and Karthus also began with a drastic change in their personalities."

"Of course, this is just my suspicion. We still need to observe more closely to see if it's true," Qin Chu continued, while giving Athena a wink as he spoke.

Athena nodded slightly, and the wand in her hand began to emit a faint glow.

Inas tried to stop her, but Sylph blocked Inas way.

This holy woman of the Earth Mother Church is powerless against Sylph.

Archmage Athena's magical level far surpasses Onions's. Although Onions is already level 79, only one level away from becoming Grand Sage, he is no match for Athena in terms of either the amount of Magic Power or the level of Magic Power manipulation.

The barrier set up by Onions was easily breached by Athena, and Onions inside didn't even notice.

Athena seemed to have used a kind of X-ray vision magic, creating a hole in the top of the tent, with the contents clearly visible to Qin Chu and the others.

All that could be seen were two bodies intertwined, the man's rough breathing and the woman's seductive voice blending together and echoing in everyone's ears.

Inas's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

Although she had long suspected this possibility, she was still extremely shocked when she saw it with her own eyes.

It felt like a piece of my heart had been hollowed out in an instant.

Her body was trembling, an indescribable sadness overwhelmed her, and she bit her lower lip hard with her pearly white teeth, trying hard not to make a pitiful sound.

She didn't know exactly how she felt; she only felt a deep, suppressed bitterness within her.

Just when Inas was about to reach her limit, her body suddenly stiffened.

His pupils turned into dark, empty holes.

Obey him, protect him, follow his will!

Thank you so much for the generous donations from Kurumi and Miku. Thank you for your support.

Chapter 203 Athena's Behaving Strangely Lately (3)

Obey him, protect him, follow his will!

Obey him, protect him, follow his will...

Saint Inas's gaze grew increasingly vacant and listless.

Her eyes were like those of a perfectly human being... a dead one.

There was no light.

For some inexplicable reason, the eerie sound kept echoing in Inas's ears and even deep in his mind, like some kind of special brand, constantly deepening the mark on Inas.

The aura emanating from her seemed to vanish completely at that moment.

It was as if she had transformed into an exquisite doll.

About a minute later, the long journey for the Holy Son Onions finally came to an end.

Then he snapped the neck of the fawning nun beneath him, began straightening his clothes, and wore a strange smile.

What a shameless woman! She actually claims she's better than other men!

In recent days, the Earth Knights Order have inexplicably lost several members, all of whom are nuns. The Earth Mother Church's response is that these nuns, pampered and unable to adapt to the harsh environment of the wild, returned on their own.

Now, the truth behind the nuns' disappearance has finally been revealed.

All the nuns were killed by Onions, and his bodies were stored in his storage ring.

Athena and Sylph were clearly taken aback by what they had just witnessed, their faces showing obvious shock.

Inas, standing beside him, suddenly had a glint of light in his eyes.

Obey him, protect him, and follow his will.

Protect him!

Lord Onions's actions must never be exposed. As a holy son, he had an affair with a nun and then killed her afterward.

Once this matter is exposed, not only will Lord Onions's status as a holy son be in jeopardy, but he will also certainly suffer very severe punishment.

In the next instant, Inas's figure silently flew towards Qin Chu. She stretched out her right hand, her five slender fingers spread out, and the nails at the ends of her fingers suddenly lengthened.

Like playing a zither, her fingers swept across Qin Chu's back.

Inas is nominally a magician who practices earth magic, a traditional art of the Earth Mother Church.

However, Inas also possesses the Battle Qi passed down for thousands of years by the Earth Mother Church, and has even obtained a title within the Earth Mother Church, becoming an Earth Knight.

Her strength is even greater than what is outwardly apparent.

Qin Chu, Sylph, Athena witnessed the Holy Son and the nun's union and the subsequent killing of the nun; they absolutely cannot live in this world.

Just as Inas's fingers were about to touch Qin Chu's back, his sharp, long nails tore through the air with a hissing sound.

It seemed that Qin Chu's back would be ripped open and his heart removed in the next second.

Athena and Sylph finally snapped out of their shock. What Onions had just done was so stunning that it completely captivated the attention of these two top experts, causing them to overlook Inas beside them.

At this moment, even if one witnessed that scene, it would be too late to stop it. One could only watch helplessly as the sharp claws drew ever closer and closer to Qin Chu's back...

Bang...

Just as Qin Chu was about to die from having his heart ripped out, a dark red light suddenly flashed across his back.

He blocked Inas's attack by a hair's breadth.

It's Antia.

Sylph and Athena might be drawn to certain things, but Antia definitely wouldn't.

In Antia's heart, Qin Chu's safety was always the most important thing, after all, for her, there was no house in the world more comfortable than Qin Chu's belly.

However, Antia was also very careful; she only blocked Inas's attack, without revealing her own existence.

Whether it was Sylph, Athena, Inas, they all thought it was just Qin Chu's body making an automatic counterattack, and none of them noticed Antia's presence.

The three women almost simultaneously cast surprised glances at Qin Chu. They hadn't expected Qin Chu to be so powerful, easily intercepting Inas's Qin Chu sneak attack.

The force of the recoil caused Inas's face to flush red, her chest to heave rapidly, and she felt her entire right arm go numb instantly. Her body was uncontrollably forced back dozens of meters.

She struggled to adjust her body, change her posture, and maintain her balance.

His gaze grew increasingly sharp, even bordering on madness.

Sylph and Athena, having regained their senses, were also preparing to make their move... Qin Chu was extremely important to both of them at this moment.

In Athena's eyes, the remnant soul of Jello resides within Qin Chu.

In Sylph's eyes, he was the only savior in the world who could save her.

Neither of them would stand by and watch Qin Chu get hurt.

Snap... Snap...

At this moment, Qin Chu placed his hands on the shoulders of the two women.

He smiled and shook his head at the two women, then looked at Inas, who was not far away, her body slightly bent, like a female leopard. "Miss Saint, you have no sportsmanship, you ambushed me."

His voice was relaxed, completely devoid of any tension or anger.

It was like two longtime friends having a casual chat.

Inas's body tensed even more, his fingers curled like eagle claws, his lips pursed without uttering a word, but his heart grew increasingly nervous.

The Second-Generation Hero is even stronger than I imagined. With Sylph and Athena joining the fray, I'm definitely no match for them. Is it truly impossible to protect Lord Onions?

"Don't worry, I have no intention of spreading what happened here..."

"Please believe me, I only suspect that Onions has been corrupted by evil. If Miss Inas thinks otherwise, I don't care. After all, in the end, it's only the Earth Mother Church that will suffer, not me."

"I will use Onions as a good test subject and observe his condition along the way."

Inas's gaze remained fierce. "Why should I believe you?"

"Because you have no other choice, or do you really want to have a proper fight with me here?" Qin Chu shook his head. "Miss Inas, you don't want to do that, believe me."

"Huh? What are you doing here?" Just then, Onions seemed to sense something and floated into the air.

He found the combination of Qin Chu, Inas, Sylph, and Athena very strange. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he rushed towards Qin Chu with a fierce expression, just about to grab Qin Chu's collar, but Sylph directly blocked Qin Chu's way.

Onions was forced to come to an abrupt halt.

Both Sylph and Ekaterina instilled fear in Onions. He could only stand there, pointing a finger at Qin Chu and roaring fiercely, "Damn it, didn't you take my warning to heart?"

"I warned you, don't go near Inas..."

"Inas is mine."

Qin Chu lazily shrugged. "My Holy Son, you're overthinking it. I simply wanted to invite you to a small banquet I'm hosting."

"I would be extremely honored if His Highness, the Holy Son, could attend my banquet."

Saint Onions' face twitched uncontrollably. This despicable fellow could lie without even flinching. You and those women had already finished your party before you invited me?

"If I remember correctly, wasn't your party already over?" Onions said with a gloomy expression.

Qin Chu, without blushing or panting, said, "The second event, as you know, will be a purely male gathering."

Onions's lips twitched slightly. A real man?

"Not interested."

"That's a real pity. In that case, I'll take my leave."

Qin Chu gave Inas and Onions a graceful bow, then turned and left, the faint sound of Onions's vicious curse still lingering behind him.
