The Husband-and-Wife Con Artists (2) (Continued)

Horus glanced at Ramon, Ramon immediately looked up at the sky above. "Speaking of which, the moonlight is truly beautiful tonight..."

Beauty my ass...

If your older or younger sister said that, it wouldn't be so bad, but for someone as big and clumsy as you, forget it.

Speaking of which, the Demon King Nag's daughters are actually quite beautiful. At first glance, you might even doubt that they are goddesses rather than Magic Creature.

Horus lowered his head, seemingly pondering for a few seconds, then smiled, "Indeed!"

"I am very pleased with Ronald Highness the Seventh Prince's hospitality; he certainly deserves a small return gift."

Upon hearing this, Ramon's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

This guy's thoughts are almost always written on his face... But that's precisely why Qin Chu chose Ramon as his trading partner.

"This time, I will give you a special piece of information, along with a suggestion."

"This information isn't about humans, it's about the Magic Creature."

Upon hearing this, Ramon's face immediately fell in disappointment.

He wasn't very interested in the situation with the Magic Creature; he was more curious about the human side, especially the Hero's Party and other top experts, as that would help him increase his merits and elevate his status.

Horus looked at Ramon, his gaze somewhat vacant, which inexplicably instilled a sense of fear in Ramon. This fear made Ramon very uncomfortable; he was the seventh son of the Demon King Nag, how could he be afraid of a mere human?

After a long silence, the mysterious Horus finally spoke, his voice filled with desolation:

"Seventh Prince, your vision is far too short-sighted."

"Being a member of the Hunting Hero's Party can indeed greatly boost your power and reputation, but this boost is ultimately very limited."

Ramon was somewhat unconvinced when Horus said he was short-sighted. He had large eyes and was very tall, so he could see everything far away.

"The world of Magic Creature is a more realistic place than the great forests and grasslands. The law of the jungle is played out to its extreme in the world of Magic Creature, and you know this better than I do."

"In the world of Magic Creature, ultimately, strength is what matters."

"No matter how strong your reputation or how great your power, if you fail, everything you have now will vanish into thin air."

"You currently have many subordinates and a large number of Magic Creature under your command, and you seem to be invincible, but this is only temporary, understand?"

"If I told you that your eldest brother, second brother... that is, the Demonic Beast Grand Prince and Second Prince, have already broken through level ninety and reached the level of the Abyss Four Heavenly Kings, would you still be as relaxed as you are now?"

Upon hearing this, Ramon's body instantly stiffened.

That ugly face was filled with unbelievable shock.

The gap between level 90 and level 89 is as exaggerated as an insurmountable chasm.

Whether it's Magic Creature or humans, it's just another hurdle ahead.

Ramon is currently at level 87. He always thought that the two older brothers were still stuck at level 89. Even if they were stronger than him, he was confident that he could fight them.

But now, Qin Chu has revealed that his two elder brothers have reached level ninety, a level that Ramon could not defeat even if he risked his life.

Just as Qin Chu said, once he himself is defeated by his elder brothers, the Magic Creature currently surrounding him will scatter and leave nothing behind.

He knew how serious this matter was, and his expression was more solemn than ever before. "Your Excellency Horus, is this true?"

"Of course, deceiving you will do me no good," Horus shrugged and said, "Your current strength is no match for those two."

Candice spoke up promptly, "Speaking of which, I've also heard from some Magic Creature intelligence personnel that the eldest prince and the second prince both seem to have recently broken through to a higher level."

"Then what should I do?" Candice's conviction made Ramon a little anxious.

He lacked the confidence to raise his strength to level 90 in a short period of time; it was simply too difficult.

"Actually, it's not entirely hopeless." Horus frowned, sighing somewhat reluctantly, "Well, what can I do? I chose you as my investment and partner."

"This was originally a secret of mine, and I didn't intend to reveal it. However, I feel that Your Highness Ramon is very much to my liking, and I am willing to maintain a very good relationship with Your Highness Ramon. I hope we can become the closest comrades-in-arms."

Ramon's throat bobbed violently, his eyes gleaming. "Horus, rest assured, if one day I truly become the Demon King, even if I raze the human world to the ground, you will still be my most honored companion, your status second only to mine, and billions of Magic Creature will worship you..."

"Whatever you desire, I will grant it to you... wealth, beautiful women among men, Succubus... you can have everything you want."

Candice scoffed, "Second only to you?"

Ramon, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? In Candice's heart, Ramon isn't even worthy to carry Lord Horus's shoes.

You're just an insignificant pawn in Lord Horus's plan; aren't you overestimating yourself?

But the voice that came out of Candice's mouth was completely different. "Lord Horus, His Highness the Seventh Prince has already made such a promise, are you still not satisfied? Prince Ramon is never stingy with rewards for his subordinates, if you want, it wouldn't be impossible to ask Prince Ramon to give me to you as a reward."

Ramon nodded repeatedly. As long as Horus could help him quickly improve his strength, what was a mere Candice?

Horus seemed deeply moved, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Very well, I believe you, Ramon, you will certainly keep your word."

"I possess a special power that allows me to draw upon the power of others."

Ramon's pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of fear flickered in his eyes.

He wasn't very quick-witted, but his fighting instincts were extremely strong, and he keenly sensed just how terrifying this power was.

"There's no need to look at me like that. Absorbing the power of others cannot be converted into my own power. Otherwise, I wouldn't need to cooperate with you at all. I could simply keep looking for suitable targets to absorb power, and I would be invincible in no time."

Ramon Meng paused slightly, as if that made sense.

If the absorbed power could truly be converted into one's own strength, then Horus's power would likely be many times greater than it is now.

"However, I can transfer the absorbed energy to others, and the recipient can directly absorb, refine, and transform this energy into their own power."

This is indeed feasible, but Qin Chu never used this method to enhance Angelica's strength.

It wasn't that Qin Chu was reluctant to part with it, but rather that he had a way to digest this alien energy, which Angelica couldn't. Forcibly instilling it wouldn't benefit Angelica much; although her strength might seem to increase dramatically in the short term, this alien energy would become a huge problem in the future.

"Simply put, this damned power is just a tool to benefit others," Horus muttered, seemingly annoyed and frustrated.

Ramon looked at Horus with a hint of pity. It was normal for Horus to feel frustrated and irritable. Such an amazing and powerful ability, yet he couldn't use it for himself. Anyone would be depressed for a while in his shoes.

But for him, this was definitely a great thing, Ramon couldn't wait to try it out.

His fierce gaze fell on Ronald... Unfortunately, this guy was practically a cripple; his energy was completely depleted, and he couldn't draw anything out.

Then, his gaze shifted to Candice, his eyes turning bloodshot.

However, this killing intent did not last long; Candice's strength was too weak.

Even if all of Candice's power were absorbed, it probably wouldn't increase much.

Moreover, Candice was the middleman in her deal with Horus. She possessed Succubus blood, which could be given to Horus as a reward to control him. Killing Candice directly might ruin their cooperation.

As for Horus, he would naturally be killed after his value had been squeezed dry... Even though they were partners now, this special power could allow Horus to create another expert at any time, making him his most powerful enemy, a scenario that Ramon was unwilling to see under any circumstances.

So now, is there only one choice left?

Ramon's gaze suddenly fell on Dorgo, the half-breed Demon Wolf hanging from the tree trunk.

The Demon Wolf Clan possesses extraordinary talents.

Dorgo possesses the bloodlines of both Demon Wolf and Succubus. Whether among Demon Wolf or Succubus, his talent is outstanding. However, for some unknown reason, he suddenly broke away from the Demon Wolf Clan and joined my ranks.

He has now reached level 80, which, according to human standards, would make him a War God.

Although this guy was his most important assistant, Ramon never truly trusted Dorgo. After all, the Demon Wolf Clan was a race under his elder brother's command, and it was rather strange that Dorgo had defected to him.

His eyes grew increasingly fierce and Greed.

If I could absorb Dorgo's power, it would definitely bring me a huge boost, right?

Ramon's ferocious gaze made Dorgo tremble. The intelligent Demon Wolf immediately understood the meaning behind the Seventh Prince's eyes. His pupils dilated violently, and he instinctively struggled desperately. "Seventh Prince... what are you going to do...?"

As Ramon's enormous hand reached out, Dorgo's chest nearly exploded with fear. "No, no, Your Highness, you can't do this..."

"I have followed you through countless life-and-death experiences, I have shed blood for you, I have been wounded for you..."

"You can't do this to me, you can't..."

Dorgo screamed wildly.

He hoped to use their shared experiences of life and death to remind Ramon of their past relationship and spare his life.

But clearly, these memories were worthless to Ramon; he felt no affection for him whatsoever.

Ramon didn't care what would happen to Dorgo; he only cared about whether his own strength would be greatly improved.

"Don't do this, Dorgo. Aren't you loyal to me? Then isn't turning your power into my power the greatest loyalty?"

"Don't worry, I will always remember how good you were to me." Ramon's voice echoed in the night sky.

Dorgo's gaze turned venomous. He struggled to free his body from the spear, but the strange spear was bound by several dark red chains that held Dorgo firmly in place.

No matter how desperately Dorgo struggled, it was all in vain.

Until Ramon's enormous fingers pinched Dorgo's small body, with a soft "plop," he forcefully pulled Dorgo's body off the tree trunk, tearing it apart from the chains.

It was instantly wrecked and bleeding profusely.

Abdomen, chest, shoulders—everywhere there were torn pieces of flesh and bones.

Even though Dorgo was very strong, he didn't have much strength left to struggle in the face of such severe injuries.

With a thud, Ramon slammed Dorgo's body onto the ground in front of him.

A dent appeared in the ground instantly.

Dorgo spat out a mouthful of blood, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, his once bright green eyes turning a deep crimson.

"Lord Horus, this fellow attacked you before, so as punishment, you can deal with him now," Ramon said in a deep voice.

Didn't you say before that he was just a child and you wouldn't hold it against him?

Dorgo's eyes were bloodshot with rage. With his last ounce of strength, he screamed amidst blood and spittle, "Ramon, you bastard! You were the one who made me test you..."

Perhaps already knowing he was doomed, Dorgo was no longer concerned and hurled a vicious curse at Ramon.

"Shut up! Even at this point, you still want to sow discord between me and Prince Ramon? Do you think I'll fall for that?" Horus shouted, interrupting Dorgo.

This is War God...

The next second, the Devourer suddenly transformed into countless tentacles, which quickly covered Dorgo's body.

Immediately afterwards, Dorgo's body began to shrivel up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ramon could clearly feel streams of energy being absorbed from Dorgo's body and then poured into Qin Chu's body, gathering in Qin Chu's chest cavity.

This eerie scene even sent chills down Ramon's spine.

Compared to himself, the human Horus in front of him seemed more like a Magic Creature.

Even while absorbing Dorgo's power, Horus still had time to speak with Ramon: "Your Highness, there's one more thing..."

"Although I can absorb his power, there will be a slight loss during the power conversion process."

Ramon nodded, indicating that he understood; this was normal.

With such immense power, it would be strange if there were no losses whatsoever.

Horus's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Opportunities to devour War God are rare. The last one was Benson, but unfortunately, Benson was almost completely worn out by Ramon, and his energy was almost gone.

Now, although Dorgo's physical injuries are extremely severe, his energy loss is almost negligible.

This is truly a super experience pack.

The so-called slight loss that Qin Chu mentioned was now surging into Qin Chu body and transforming into Qin Chu own power. The two emerald green leaves seemed quite satisfied with this abundant energy, swaying continuously.

On her wrist, the silver hair strands grew increasingly bright.

Antia and Saya were bathed in pure energy, their pretty faces beaming with joy.

Qin Chu's attributes are skyrocketing.

The exhilarating surge of power brought Qin Chu an unprecedented sense of comfort.

His body seemed to be trembling.

To Ramon Meng, this appearance seemed to suggest that Qin Chu would have to bear an extremely terrifying price for using this power.

No one knows how much time has passed, Dorgo's body has become completely shriveled and bony.

Click...

The faintly visible Qin Chu seemed to feel a crisp sound coming from within his body.

One of the levels has been unlocked.

At this moment, Qin Chu finally re-entered the realm of War God!
