The Hero's Suicide Squad (5)

Your identities and status are utterly worthless in the face of absolute power.

Silence reigned all around.

After a long while, a thunderous applause suddenly erupted.

The applause came from the soldiers.

This is the true spirit that members of the Hero's Party should possess.

The boss is absolutely amazing.

Mr. Qin was indeed different from others. Unlike the First-Generation Hero, whose recruits, though quite capable, were all arrogant and ignored them.

Inas's body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were a little red.

Perhaps because they had never suffered such humiliation before, Onions was filled with resentment and Wrath, while Inas felt intensely wronged, and tears were about to fall.

But tears were of no use to Violet.

Violet has been through so much; compared to that, Inas's experiences are nothing.

"After we return to the Imperial City, I will suggest that Qin Chu inform Saint Monica about your situation and have you stripped of your status as a member of the Hero's Party ..." Violet smiled. "Feel honored. You are the second member to be stripped of your status. The last one was Karthus."

With a casual flick of his wrist, he tossed Inas to the ground.

Violet glanced at the other clergy around her, her brow furrowing slightly. "Disarm these people..."

"Otherwise, I'm worried that these esteemed clergy might cause trouble."

With Violet as their backer, the soldiers became much bolder and swarmed forward, stripping the Earth Mother Church priests of all their armor and accessories, which were in high demand.

Although the clergy felt extremely humiliated, none of them dared to utter a single word because of Violet's presence.

Violet yawned lazily, seemingly reverting to her languid and gentle demeanor. The change in her demeanor made it hard to believe that the dashing young woman from just moments before was the same person.

Violet returned to the tent, glancing at Inas out of the corner of Inas eye...

What a pathetic wretch.

They were bound by heavy and hard shackles.

She was too lazy to think about how to deal Qin Chu this woman.

It's been a long time since I've exercised like this; it feels pretty good and quite enjoyable.

On the other side!

Qin Chu finally managed to free himself.

Ileta's slender body leaned against Qin Chu's chest, some strands of her dark hair falling onto Qin Chu's face and chest, tickling him as she seemed to be savoring the sensation she had just experienced.

That was the first time in a thousand years that she had experienced any sensation other than pain.

She didn't dislike it; in fact, she liked it very much.

She liked to press her cheek against Qin Chu's chest and listen to his heartbeat, because her own heart had stopped beating.

For an entire night, for several hours, she even temporarily forgot the pain caused by the deathly aura tormenting her.

The only thing that bothered her was that her favorite stockings had a hole in them.

Qin Chu looked down at Zheng Ileta. Apart from having no heartbeat and no breathing, this girl was almost no different from a normal girl. Her skin was delicate and soft.

Then Qin Chu was surprised to find that Ileta's cheeks were slightly Crimson.

This was the first time he had seen a different color on Ileta's face. Her cheeks were always as white as snow, but now, with a rosy glow, they appeared even more radiant.

"Ileta, are you blushing?" Qin Chu asked, somewhat surprised.

Ileta rolled her big, dark eyes at Qin Chu, annoyed. "How could that be?"

"My body is already dead, my heart no longer beats, how could this be... wait?"

As Ileta was refuting her argument, she suddenly felt her chest rise and fall slightly.

She thought it was her imagination, so she gently placed a small hand on her heart and quietly sensed it. After about half a minute, she finally sensed it again.

My own heart is beating.

The heart, which had been silent for thousands of years, has miraculously regained its vitality.

Ileta couldn't understand what this feeling was like; she couldn't even figure out what she was feeling—happy or shocked?

Is this a dream, or reality?

For a moment, Ileta was even a little at a loss.

His facial expression was also very strange, which aroused Qin Chu's curiosity. "What's wrong?"

"I... I don't know..." Even the usually mature and composed Daughter of Death stammered, "My heart... it seems to be beating again."

She couldn't control herself and grabbed Qin Chu's hand, placing it on her heart.

She worried that her feelings were just a figment of her imagination and hoped that someone else could confirm them for her.

Qin Chu was happy to accept such a demanding job.

Beneath his palm lay Ileta's delicate skin, faintly visible, and Qin Chu could feel a slight warmth, no longer as icy as before.

After some time, Qin Chu let out a long sigh of relief, his face full of a gentle smile, "Congratulations, Ileta, your heart is beating again."

Although the frequency is extremely low, it is still a good signal.

"By the way, you once said that death energy would cause you extremely painful torment. Is that torment still there?" Qin Chu asked quickly, remembering this.

Ileta seemed to have just realized this as well. Because when Qin Chu was by her side, the death energy was suppressed by the aura emanating from Qin Chu, and the pain was no longer as intense as before, to the point that Ileta had forgotten about it.

Now that Qin Chu had reminded her, Ileta quickly began to carefully perceive her own body's condition, and the expression on her face became more and more surprised and delighted.

The death energy has been reduced to a very weak level.

It wasn't suppressed, it was eliminated.

Looking back now, it seems that the moment the Holy Light shone within my body, the dense death aura surrounding me immediately vanished by more than half.

The remaining death energy within her body is now completely within Ileta's tolerance.

Even if it gets close to other living beings, it might have some impact, but it's unlikely to directly kill anyone.

She couldn't describe her current feelings; her heart, which had been calm for thousands of years, was now rippling with emotion.

Now she can finally walk in this world like a normal human being, to taste delicious food and drinks, to communicate and talk with other people, and to touch those furry little animals...

For a moment, she really wanted to laugh.

But she hadn't smiled for far too long; she had even forgotten what it felt like to smile. Her thin lips, now with a little color in them, were trembling incessantly.

All of this was brought to her by the man in front of her; it was Qin Chu who rescued her from that painful prison.

She didn't know how to express her feelings, so she suddenly threw herself at Qin Chu and pressed her thin lips to Qin Chu.

This was the only way Ileta could express her gratitude.

She knew very well that as long as she continued to exercise the authority of the substitute Death God, the death aura on her body would accumulate again. This freedom was only temporary, but even so, it was enough for her to be grateful.

Ileta's actions inadvertently reignited Qin Chu's anger.

The two finally calmed down around noon.

This time, Ileta felt it very clearly: when the Holy Light spread once again, the death energy that had already been mostly cleared from her body was further cleansed.

At this rate, perhaps after several hundred more sessions, she could fully recover.

"Ileta, why don't you come back to the Imperial City of Orville with me?" Qin Chu couldn't help but ask, looking at Ileta who was adjusting her black dress.

Since I've finally encountered a Witch, it's probably better to keep her by my side.

Ileta tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. "Why?"

"Most of the deathly aura on you has been cleared away. Even if you appear in the city, it shouldn't have any impact, right?"

"Besides, the death aura on your body will continue to grow, so it will be easier to deal with you if you stay by my side," Qin Chu said, searching for a reason.

This was solely to help Ileta, and certainly not out of any strange motives like lusting after her body.

However, Ileta shook her head in response to Qin Chu's invitation. "I'm sorry, although I appreciate your invitation, I can't stay in one place. People die every moment in this world, and I can't let the souls of the dead spread throughout this world."

Ileta slowly approached Qin Chu and lightly kissed his cheek with Qin Chu pink lips. "Of course, if the death energy on my body accumulates to a certain level, I will still come to you for help."

"If you find any more Soul Fragment and need them deciphered, feel free to call me anytime. Just call my name, and I will appear by your side in the shortest possible time."

Seeing that Ileta seemed to want to leave, Qin Chu felt a little disappointed, but he did not try to stop her. Everyone has their own choices, and he respected Ileta's decision.

"Before I leave, I have one more question: how much do you know about the Flame Witch?"

"The Flame Witch?" Ileta's expression seemed slightly reproachful. "Having just tasted the Daughter of Death, do you now want to taste the Flame Magic Creature?"

"You don't mean you're planning to collect all the Witch, do you?"

"But you might be disappointed; she's completely gone mad."

Chapter 230 The Heroic Suicide Squad (5)

Qin Chu felt somewhat helpless.

What does it mean to have all the Witch collected?

Is he such a greedy person?

Besides, he wasn't doing this for himself; he was doing it for all living beings, to save the goddess trapped in the Void —what a grand goal!

Moreover, Ileta herself was a Witch, tormented by the Divine Authority; he was merely there to soothe their pain.

So please don't look at yourself with the kind of eyes that look at perverts.

This is disrespectful to one's own grand ambitions.

Qin Chu strongly protested against Ileta's strange gaze, but Ileta didn't care at all. Perhaps because her heartbeat had returned and much of her death energy had been cleared away, Ileta seemed a little more lively than before.

A few playful little faces approached Qin Chu: "My Hero sir, one shouldn't be too greedy..."

"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person." Qin Chu shook his head in denial. "I just feel that if the Flame Witch is really controlled by the Demonic Beast Grand Prince, the situation will be very troublesome."

"Is that really the case? But even if you still have other ideas, it's no use now."

Ileta spoke with a touch of sadness, "The Flame Witch has long since gone completely mad."

"She couldn't control the flames that were capable of destroying everything; even her own body was burned away. The Flame Witch is now just a raging Fire Spirit, attacking any life indiscriminately. Perhaps, in a few decades, even her soul will turn to ashes in the flames, and then she will be free."

If the deathly aura within me continues to spread, I'll probably end up like that sooner or later.

However, I was lucky enough to encounter someone who could save me before I went insane.

After a pause, Ileta continued, "The Demonic Beast Grand Prince knew this and wanted to seal this Fire Spirit within his body to control the power of the Flame Witch. That would make him stronger, and no one among the Magic Creature would be able to threaten his position."

"However, sealing the Flame Witch's Fire Spirit is not an easy task, after all, although the Flame Witch has gone mad, her power has not disappeared."

"You possess a very special power; your power can purify the death energy within me, but I'm not sure if it can restore the Flame Witch's sanity."

In short, if you're going to go there, please be careful.

On the other side, right in the camp.

A slender, petite figure appeared.

She is Eileen, a member of the Hero's Party and one of the Twin Thieves.

After leaving the Magic Creature's territory, Eileen immediately followed the coordinates provided by Rosweisse, dodging the Magic Creature's pursuit while rushing over as fast as she could. She needed to inform her companions of the situation on the Magic Creature's side as soon as possible.

Right there in Rosweisse's tent.

Ekaterina, Athena, Rosweisse, Eileen, Aili, Sylph.

Apart from the Mad Muse, all the other members have arrived.

Eileen held a teacup in her hand and gulped it down in one go.

Because she had been traveling at top speed the whole way, Eileen's throat was burning with pain. Traveling at full Battle Qi while dodging Magic Creature was exhausting even for a thief as skilled as Eileen.

Rosweisse had many questions on her mind, but she had to show concern for her companion. Only after Eileen's heavy breathing gradually calmed down did Rosweisse speak, "Eileen, what exactly happened over there?"
