Are Kings and Nobles Born to Rule? (2)
This Harpy is the commander of this group...
The cold, dark dagger was silently held against the Harpy commander's throat. The powerful Magic Creature didn't even notice it; only a layer of fine goosebumps instinctively appeared on her neck.
She was still opening her mouth, spewing out raging winds...
Thud... A huge wound was cut open on the snow-white neck, and blood gushed out instantly.
Aili's figure gradually emerged, her cold gaze sweeping over the surrounding Harpy. In the next instant, her body multiplied into dozens, rushing off in different directions.
As feathers scattered in all directions, the mangled corpses of Harpy began to fall from the sky.
What surprised Qin Chu the most was Onions.
This originally timid and even somewhat cowardly holy son seemed to have had a nerve stimulated by the blood. His face became more and more crazed and distorted, and his eyes were filled with a ferocious crimson.
His breathing turned into heavy panting.
The spurting blood droplets...
A severed head...
Broken bones...
Charred flesh and blood...
Despair, wails, death...
Onions's body was trembling.
He should be terrified; that's how he should be.
But now, Onions's chest was filled with an indescribable excitement.
An unseen force was urging Onions to get closer, to Onions near to the scent of blood, the aura of death...
His eyes had turned bloodshot without him noticing.
Deep within the two pupils, a dark, fork-shaped mark was faintly visible!
Thank you for remembering the past time, O at this time, book friend 20190913215326917, book friend 20201018120713357, book friend 20221106211914224 for the five hundred point reward.
Chapter 207 Are Kings and Nobles Born with a Special Kind of Fame? (2)
Onions had never been so excited or eager as he was now.
He felt a strong urge to destroy everything he saw with his own hands, to tear apart throat after throat, and to let the crimson blood splatter all over him. Perhaps at that moment, he could truly taste the pain of death.
No longer would they stealthily snap the necks of nuns one by one, but instead, like Qin Chu, they would kill in broad daylight.
Onions was surrounded by a large number of Knight, priests, and nuns of the Earth Mother Church.
They were soldiers escorting the Hero, but their first priority was protecting their own holy son.
Even Inas, a new member of the Hero's Party, who should have been Qin Chu's teammate, only had eyes Onions Inas. She didn't join the Hero's Party in battle at all, and stayed by Onions's side the whole time.
At that moment, the impulse in Onions's chest finally reached a point where it could no longer be suppressed.
He suddenly let out a roar like a wild beast, and with a whoosh, he charged out from the protection of the many Knights.
The Knight hadn't anticipated that His Highness would suddenly rush out, and it was too late to stop him. They could only shout loudly from behind, but unfortunately, Onions paid no heed to their cries.
Inas's expression changed slightly, and he immediately followed behind.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Onions moved with incredible speed, appearing on the battlefield almost in the blink of an eye.
One foot was raised high, and then stomped down forcefully.
Rumble...
The earth began to churn violently in an instant.
A large number of Giant Earthworm that were wriggling underground and constantly dragging human soldiers into darkness were forcibly turned upside down. Looking at those writhing worms, Onions even had an urge to bite off a piece and taste it.
He had already squatted down, with one hand pressed against the ground.
Pfft pfft pfft...
Sharp spikes of earth emerged from the ground, instantly tearing countless Giant Earthworm to shreds. Watching the foul-smelling slime gushing from the mangled corpses, a certain impulse deep within Onions seemed to find unprecedented satisfaction at that moment.
His body was trembling with excitement.
Onions's appearance was so striking that it even sent chills down Inas's Inas.
Athena floated in mid-air, her staff shimmering with azure light, while she chanted a lengthy incantation at an incredibly fast pace, so fast that Athena voice became somewhat shrill.
Above our heads, dark clouds had been rolling in without us even noticing.
The blazing sunlight was blocked, and then, a torrential downpour began.
These seemingly tiny raindrops, when they fall on the Magic Creature, immediately produce a terrifying effect.
These raindrops seemed to have been endowed with astonishing penetrating power by Athena, harder than hail and sharper than a knife tip.
In an instant, countless Magic Creature were riddled with tiny, bloody holes, their cries of agony echoing through the air.
The same raindrops falling on human soldiers caused absolutely no harm.
Norma directly summoned the Earth Mother's Wrath, and her enormous fist slammed into the ground with a deafening roar, turning countless powerful Magic Creature into mincemeat with a single blow.
Natia was even more straightforward, unleashing a Skyfire Meteor and watching the flames burn among the Magic Creature.
Angelica and Antasia were slightly weaker, but it was clear that their strength had increased significantly after this period of special training, and there were also many Magic Creature corpses scattered around them.
With the participation of many skilled players, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.
Many soldiers couldn't hold back their tears; reinforcements had finally arrived.
Qin Chu naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. His figure plunged directly into the deepest part of a large group of Magic Creature, and with his body as the center, the Devourer spread outwards.
Countless, transparent, jelly-like tentacles rapidly wrapped around the bodies of one Magic Creature after another, with at least dozens of Magic Creature being devoured by Qin Chu at the same time.
As Qin Chu's strength increased, the Devourer's effects became increasingly exaggerated.
Even a powerful Troll would be completely devoured by Qin Chu in less than half a minute.
Qin Chu was like the Death God walking among men; wherever he went, Magic Creature fell like wheat being harvested. Those intact corpses, without a single wound, were, in some ways, even more terrifying.
He has absorbed an extremely exaggerated amount of experience.
However, to Qin Chu's dismay, his level advancement remained extremely slow.
What Qin Chu didn't know was that there were several parasites inside his body, sharing the experience he gained. Two of them were even big contributors to the experience, absorbing more experience than Qin Chu himself received.
Although Violet was also fighting, almost no Magic Creature actually died at Violet hands.
The Storm Witch simply used her strong winds to swirl up the Magic Creature and toss them around Qin Chu, leaving them for him to devour. With Violet's help, the Devourer's efficiency increased dramatically.
Furthermore, given the sheer number of Magic Creature, Qin Chu finally experienced what it felt like to frantically plunder experience packs.
He didn't know how much time had passed when Qin Chu suddenly felt something.
As consciousness settled, the tender green shoot within her body, after a long period of time, finally sprouted its second leaf.
At that moment, Qin Chu was so moved that he almost cried.
The root system is not just wrapped around the Battle Origin and the Magic Core.
Qin Chu could even clearly feel those spider-silk-like fine roots taking root in his flesh and bones.
This made Qin Chu even more worried. Could this thing really grow into a big tree inside his stomach?
The image of tree roots piercing his body, leaving countless holes, and branches emerging from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth flashed through his mind. Qin Chu shuddered, sensing something was amiss.
However, the sprouting of the second leaf was not entirely without its benefits. Originally, the Devourer could only devour things like energy, power, and skills, but now, Qin Chu felt as if even the life force of those Magic Creature was being devoured.
However, most of that vitality was absorbed by the tender shoots.
Only a wisp escaped and merged into Qin Chu's body.
This vitality replenishes Qin Chu's expended energy, allowing Qin Chu to sustain combat for an extremely long time... in every sense of the word.
The presence of the life force was faint, yet Qin Chu could still sense it nourishing his body, which should even have the effect of extending his lifespan...
Furthermore, after the second leaf sprouted, the previously suppressed Starflame Battle Aura successfully broke through to the third level. Compared to other benefits, this was the least noteworthy gain.
The soldiers went from initial elation at the arrival of reinforcements to disappointment upon discovering that the reinforcements numbered only a few hundred... What could a few hundred people do? They were powerless against so many Magic Creature.
Then it was discovered that among these hundreds of people, there were some who were absolute scourges, capable of wiping out a large group with a single attack.
Although the number of Magic Creature was enormous, there were no powerful Demon General generals among them, making it impossible to withstand these formidable enemies.
Even the fiercest and cruelest Magic Creature cannot bear the fear of having their lives constantly harvested. Watching their companions die in large numbers, even Magic Creature feel fear.
Seeing that the situation was dire, the Magic Creature army began to flee.
The war gradually came to an end amidst muddy pools of blood and countless severed limbs.
Rosweisse, Shirley, and many other nuns were responsible for treating the wounded soldiers.
A burly, imposing man was counting the surviving soldiers. He was no longer wearing his armor, and his back, chest, and abdomen were covered with wounds torn by the claws of Magic Creature.
He looked like a very manly man, but as he continued, he suddenly couldn't take it anymore, squatted on the ground and wailed, his tears wetting the scarlet bloodstains on his dark face.
On the desolate and bloody battlefield, the man's cries sounded especially mournful.
The soldiers around them also hung their heads in silence, their faces filled with sorrow.
Only the Knight and clergy who had come from the Imperial City murmured disdainfully on the sidelines, saying that it was truly shameful for a grown man to be crying like that.
Even though these people didn't have the guts to run away when Qin Chu crushed a nun's head, when they actually went to the battlefield, they only fought passively at the very edge. When the Magic Creature were in disarray, they became more and more valiant, wielding their flashy weapons and roaring to wipe out the Magic Creature.
Then he picked up some dirty, Magic Creature heads from the ground—heads whose owners he didn't know who had killed—and hung them around his waist as trophies, beaming with pride.
And now, these fly-like things are mocking the commander, mocking his cowardice and tears.
Qin Chu took a breath, slowly walked to the commander's side, squatted down, and gently patted the commander's shoulder.
The commander twitched his nose, forcibly suppressing the sorrow in his heart, and raised his head, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace, "Hero..."
The people in this world look more like Westerners from Earth, making Qin Chu's appearance quite unusual. It's not difficult to recognize Qin Chu's identity.
"How's the situation?"
The commander's body trembled, but he finally endured the pain and spoke, "One hundred thousand brothers... now... less than seven thousand remain."
A bloody and brutal battlefield.
More than 90,000 people died here; it's no wonder the commander was so grief-stricken.
They were all commoners, and the vast majority of them had never studied Battle Qi or magic. They fought against those ferocious Magic Creature solely with their brute strength and willpower.
They were the best of brothers, but now, less than one in ten remains.
Footsteps sounded behind me.
It's Carol.
The princess was also carrying a long whip that looked like a black venomous snake; it was this whip that had snapped the necks of many Magic Creature in the recent battle.
This girl is far superior to those so-called Knight.
Even though her hair, her fair face, and her gorgeous princess dress were stained with blood, she didn't care.
But now, Carol's expression looked extremely unpleasant.
"Why are your weapons so broken and damaged? Many of you are even using the sharp claws and nails of slain monsters to make crude and crude weapons?"
"Why aren't you wearing armor? Instead, you're covered in the fur of magical beasts."
Why are so many soldiers emaciated?
"May I have your name?"
Carol threw out a series of questions.
The commander glanced at Carol with some surprise. He didn't know Carol's identity; not every commoner was lucky enough to have seen a princess.
But he knew this girl's identity was extraordinary.
"Barnal Swift, the interim commander of the Imperial 107th Army, stationed on the Nuevista Great Grassland," the man announced his identity.
"Temporary Legion Commander?" Carol seemed a little puzzled by the title.
"Reporting to your Excellency, I was originally just a centurion..."
This is the highest military rank a commoner can achieve in the army. The higher ranks, such as commander of ten thousand, lieutenant general, brigadier general, commander, and legion commander, can only be held by nobles.
