You Want My Body? (2)

Six nuns died, and you're already disciplining them properly?

Rosweisse frowned slightly, unsure how to respond for a moment.

Just then, a pretty young girl suddenly stepped forward, holding a leather whip in her hand. It was none other than Princess Carol of the Orwell Empire: "Your Highness Florence, Onions cannot be handed over to you."

"Although he is the Holy Son of the Earth Mother Church, the Holy Church and the Hero naturally have no right to judge him, but... these things happened on the territory of the Orwell Empire. Onions is not only the Holy Son but also a citizen of the Empire. Does the Empire have the right to judge him?"

"If you believe in the laws of the Empire, then hand Onions over to me. I will ask my father to investigate this matter thoroughly. If Onions truly did it, then punish him according to the laws of the Empire. If not, I will take responsibility for restoring Onions' reputation. What do you say?"

Florence's face turned cold. That wretched little brat! Even if her son did it, it was just a few nuns who died. Did he really have to pay with his life?

Although he was furious inside, he didn't show it on his face at all.

Florence even nodded readily. "That's fine too, I trust the royal family's credibility."

Florence glanced at her son one last time, ignoring his heart-wrenching cries, and turned to leave.

This swift and decisive action surprised everyone, as it was unlike Florence's usual character. However, they all breathed a slight sigh of relief, after all, it was Florence, one of the strongest humans in the world. If a conflict could be avoided, it would naturally be better to avoid it.

Amid Onions's wails, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Carol approached Qin Chu to conduct the handover of the criminals.

No one noticed that far away, Florence's figure scattered like quicksand.

On the other side, Florence's figure suddenly emerged from the yellow sand behind her son, her delicate white hand grabbing his shoulder, while in her other hand, a sharp rock blade suddenly materialized in her palm...

With a hiss, it slashed at Qin Chu's arm, which was tightly gripping his son's head.

Florence ultimately didn't want her son to fall into the hands of these people; these despicable bastards would surely fabricate all sorts of evidence to frame him.

Florence didn't care whether the Hero would be injured or even die.

Let alone the lives of six nuns, even if all the lives of everyone on the Skyvault Continent were combined, in Florence's heart, they would be far less important than the lives of her kind, gentle, and obedient son.

Laugh...

The rock blade tore through the air, producing a sharp sound.

This sneak attack was swift and fierce.

For a moment, no one could react; even Violet was caught off guard by Florence's sneak attack, which had occurred so unexpectedly.

Just as Qin Chu's arm was about to be severed, a golden light suddenly burst forth from it.

It's not Pseudo-Absolute Defense, but rather a high-level earth-based magic, Stone Armor.

Clang!

The rock blade tore through the Stone Armor, leaving a pale mark, but ultimately failed to sever Qin Chu's arm.

It's Norma.

Norma, who also wields the power of the earth, is more sensitive to this than Violet, and narrowly saved Qin Chu's arm.

Seeing Florence's bewildered expression as her ambush failed and she couldn't snatch her son back from Onions's head despite his desperate grip, Qin Chu remained unfazed, seemingly having anticipated this situation. A smirk played on his lips, and he snapped his fingers.

"Violet, kill her!"

Chapter 257 You want my body? (2)

Qin Chu was not surprised at all that Florence had returned.

Given this woman's doting nature and her belief that her son is the most important person in the world, how could she possibly stand by and watch him suffer here? She would definitely do whatever it takes to save him.

That's why, even though he watched Florence walk away, Qin Chu's fingers never left Onions's head.

However, Qin Chu had not expected Florence to reappear in such a bizarre way.

What is this? Earth-walking technique? Earth escape?

Although he had no interest in Florence as a woman, Qin Chu was quite interested in Florence ability, which he couldn't tell was either magic or power.

Florence had assumed that this sneak attack would sever Qin Chu's arm, or even his entire body, and successfully rescue Onions.

Florence had already planned it all out; once she succeeded, she would immediately take her son and flee far away.

They no longer cared about the position of the leader of the Earth Mother Church and stopped vying for it.

After all, since he had seriously injured or even killed the Hero, neither Wadsworth nor Augustus would let him go, and even Saint Monica would have ample reason to kill him; she would flee with her son.

The world is so vast, there must be a place for the mother and son to find refuge.

Florence hadn't expected that such a stealthy and swift sneak attack would be intercepted.

Florence inwardly cried out in alarm.

With her teeth clenched, her body sank instantly, as if trying to sink back into the earth.

But at that moment, the ground beneath them suddenly trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck, and the ground seemed to have turned into the sea, with waves rolling violently.

People on the ground could not even stand firmly.

Although Barnal wasn't particularly strong, his long experience fighting Magic Creature had given him a mental and reaction time far superior to others.

Seeing that the situation was not good, and that the current conflict was completely beyond the reach of his brothers, even though they had previously said that they would immediately give the order to lead their men to wipe out all of Qin Chu's enemies if Qin Chu needed them, they still had to give the order.

But when the time came, Barnal immediately gave an order, and all his brothers instantly retreated hundreds or even nearly a thousand meters, leaving this vast space to the true powerhouses.

This level of combat is beyond the capabilities of ordinary soldiers like them.

They might not back down against Onions, but against Grand Sage of Florence's caliber, thousands of soldiers wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap between their teeth.

Compared to the orderly retreat of these soldiers, the Royal Guard Knights were slightly less disciplined. After Morton gave the order, they immediately began to flee in disarray.

The clergy of the Holy Church and the Earth Mother Church fared even worse. They turned and ran, crowding together in a chaotic mess. Coupled with the trembling of the earth, people would occasionally lose their footing and fall to the ground. Before they could even get up, countless footprints would trample over them from behind.

Are you kidding me? That's a battle between level 80 and above! Are you going to stay here and wait to die instead of running?

Florence's expression changed drastically. Just as she was about to completely hide deep within the earth, a strong magical fluctuation came from beneath her.

With her son's head still held in Qin Chu's palm, Florence had no way to save him. Coupled with the threat below her, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and leap out of the ground with a whoosh.

The next instant, a burst of scorching flames surged up from the ground. If Florence had been any slower, she would have been engulfed by the raging flames.

Florence was unharmed, but Onions on the ground was extremely unlucky. The blazing flames engulfed half of Onions' body, and his lower half was burned to a black charcoal.

Because of the excruciating pain, Onions's body was trembling, and he kept letting out suppressed howls as he was tormented by the agony.

Although Qin Chu was also within the flames, this attack could not harm Qin Chu at all.

As Florence watched her son's pitiful state from the sky, tears streamed down her face, but she knew this was not the time to grieve, so she spread her arms wide to the sides.

A rock-yellow magical shield immediately appeared beside him.

Stone Armor!

High-level earth-based defensive magic.

This magic can be large or small.

It can protect the entire body.

Xiao Ke only protects the heart!

It is the most powerful defensive spell among earth-based defensive spells, capable of being cast in the shortest amount of time.

Florence knew all too well that as a mage, if she didn't take proper precautions, her frail body would likely be torn to shreds if a powerful enemy got close.

Her mind was frantically calculating how she could rescue her son, no matter the cost, even death.

Although there are many other experts, the despicable Qin Chu is definitely the biggest enemy.

This guy is threatening his son's life every moment. If he can't kill Qin Chu, he'll never be able to save his son.

Unfortunately, Florence didn't have much time to think about these messy questions. With a whoosh, a tall figure approached Florence at an incredibly fast speed.

The former cult leader's expression changed slightly, and he was about to dodge, but the other party was even faster.

In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Florence.

"Word of Truth Spell!"

It was none other than Violet.

Accompanied by a cold voice, whirlwinds emerged from a long leg, its speed suddenly increasing as it swept across from mid-air.

With a thud, Violet's long leg slammed directly into the Stone Armor.

The violent impact caused Florence's face to change drastically, and a buzzing sound kept echoing in her ears.

This attack alone made Florence clearly realize that Violet, this tall woman, was far more powerful than she had imagined.

With a sweeping kick, cracks actually appeared on the powerful Stone Armor.

After this attack, Violet showed no sign of stopping. She clenched her fists and rained blows down on the Stone Armor.

Bang bang bang bang...

The drum-like sounds continued incessantly.

Cracks were spreading rapidly across the Stone Armor.

Florence was increasingly shocked; the violent impact even made her face pale. She gripped her staff tightly and chanted a spell at an incredibly fast pace.

In less than a second, he waved his scepter.

Two enormous, menacing, rock-yellow chains rolled out of the ground like giant pythons, directly coiling around Violet's legs.

The Earth Mother's Embrace.

Violet, who had been maintaining a high-intensity attack, didn't even turn around to look. Suddenly, she leaped into the air, performed a nimble flip in mid-air, and then with a whoosh, a long leg slammed down from the sky.

Bang! Her heel slammed into a chain.

Crack!

With a strange sound, the entire chain was instantly shattered into pieces.

At the same time, she spun around, and with a sweeping leg, the remaining chain was shattered by Violet's attack.

Storm Witch...

No weapons, no magic wands, no armor, no robes—perhaps it was this berserker-like fighting style that made no one in the entire Orwell Empire, including those few old foxes, doubt Violet's identity Witch.

Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen a magician punch someone or kick them?

This woman isn't a berserker; I'll take your surname.

The two sturdy chains that had bound Violet in the Earth Mother's Embrace shattered in an instant. Violet's body didn't stop at all; a hurricane suddenly surged up beneath her, carrying Violet's body into the sky.

Boom.

With a thunderous roar, Violet shattered a massive meteorite that had just fallen from the sky with a single punch.

The clash between two absolute powerhouses was a thrilling spectacle for the crowd below.

The ordinary soldiers couldn't see through the trick; they were only dazzled by the sounds of wind and thunder.

For experts like Morton and Rosweisse, this confirmed their suspicions: Violet was extremely powerful, easily and comfortably gaining the upper hand in her confrontation with Florence.

This is someone on par with Saint Monica and Augustus.

Florence's face was grim. She knew that such a battle was quite disadvantageous to her. As an earth mage, the ground was her home turf, and her Magic Power would recover faster when she was on the ground than when she was in mid-air.

The overall situation is also quite unfavorable for him. So far, only this big woman has made a move; the other Grand Sage and War God haven't even made a move yet. Once they all swarm in, won't he be defeated instantly?

As he pondered, his body slowly sank.

The screams of Onions in the distance continued to draw Florence's attention.

During battle, being distracted is a major taboo.

The continuous magical attacks were interrupted for less than half a second, and that half a second was more than enough time for Violet.

Violet is the Storm Witch.

She just doesn't really like using magic; it doesn't mean she can't.

Call...

He instantly closed in on Florence, his right fist clenched tightly, the bluish-gray aura of the Word of Truth Spell on his wrist still shining brightly, and right above his fist, wind-attribute Magic Power was frantically gathering and being compressed at high intensity.

The next second, the fist exploded on the Stone Armor.
