If We've Lost Our Son, We'll Just Have Another (3)
The armor finally reached its limit and shattered with a snap, like ice crystals.
The powerful impact was too much for Florence to bear, and her body plummeted downwards in an arc. Looking at the yellow sand below her, Florence felt no fear; instead, she accelerated. Once she was submerged, she would still have a chance to launch a surprise attack and rescue her son.
Saving her son was Florence's sole objective from beginning to end.
The speed is increasing, and the distance to the ground is getting closer and closer.
Just as the cicada's head was about to sink into the ground, Heloise, who had been holding back until now, finally made her move at Ieta's urging.
The Snow Woman crouched down, her slender body revealing the shapely contours of her thighs through her originally loose white skirt.
A small hand is pressed against the ground.
"Ice!"
The next second, ice spread across the yellow sand at an extremely fast speed.
In an instant, it appeared beneath Florence's head.
Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, Florence, the former leader of the Earth Mother Church, slammed her head directly onto the solid ice.
It was faintly visible, and one could almost hear a crisp cracking sound.
It's unclear whether it's the neck or the skull that's broken.
For a moment, she saw stars, and her body writhed on the ice like a water snake. Her mouth was open, but the excruciating pain prevented her from making a sound.
In that instant, countless onlookers around were gently rubbing their foreheads, as if they could feel the burning pain in their heads.
"Heloise, you should create another sharp ice spike right below her head where she fell," Ieta instructed, offering Heloise advice based on her combat experience.
The Snow Woman is very powerful.
The only downside is that it's too soft.
It's not just her body, but also her personality.
The Snow Woman nodded somewhat blankly, keeping Ieta's instructions firmly in mind, determined never to make the same mistake again.
However, Ieta was actually quite satisfied. The two of them were essentially sent over from the Magic Creature' side, even though they were forced by Qin Chu. But they still had to demonstrate sufficient value.
Violet landed in the sky, kicking Florence in the slender waist. Florence's body slid down the ice and directly to Qin Chu, the force perfectly controlled.
"Miss Florence ..." Qin Chu's face still wore a gentle, gentlemanly smile as his gaze swept over Florence's slightly disheveled but still curvaceous and hot figure.
He vaguely understood Cao Cao's thoughts.
This kind of woman does indeed possess a unique charm.
After Qin Chu called her name several times, Florence's consciousness gradually returned. Seeing Qin Chu so close to her, she made no attempt to hide the hatred and Wrath in her eyes.
"Please, Miss Florence ... no, I should call you Ms..."
"Please believe me on this: I have never provoked your son, but I don't understand why this guy harbors such strong hostility towards me, repeatedly coming to cause me trouble..."
Qin Chu was telling the truth.
He really didn't attack Onions proactively. In fact, the Evil God's Threads inside Onions's body were put there by this bastard himself, and had nothing to do with Qin Chu.
"But your family has really disappointed me..."
"I knew about the evil things Onions had done all along, but I kept it a secret. I'm not that big of a mouth, but Onions forced me to make everything public."
"As for you, Ms. Florence, you have disappointed me even more. I thought you would be more mature... but it turns out you are only physically mature."
"Or are you so used to being superior that you don't understand what compromise means?"
After a pause, Qin Chu continued, "Of course, this magnanimous Hero can still give you a chance; we can make a deal..."
Trade?
Florence paused for a moment, then, recalling the rumors about Hero, she immediately realized what was going on. Her delicate fingers instinctively tugged at her disheveled clothes, covering her fair skin. "You want my body?"
No, what are you thinking?
Qin Chu's gaze swept over Florence.
Wherever her gaze fell, Florence felt as if a rough hand was stroking her delicate skin.
She hadn't felt this way since Onions's father passed away.
Well, Qin Chu admitted that Florence's body was indeed very alluring, but that wasn't what Qin Chu wanted most.
Rather, it was Florence's ability to move through the earth.
Of course, Qin Chu could choose the Devourer.
However, while the Devourer's absorption of Magic Power and Battle Qi is absolute, the acquisition of power and magic is probabilistic. Qin Chu cannot guarantee that he will definitely gain that ability after completely devouring Florence.
However, if Florence actively cooperates, the success rate will increase dramatically.
Florence frowned deeply. She was filled with hatred for Qin Chu and naturally did not want her chastity to be defiled by Qin Chu... But, as long as she could save her son, she could endure any sacrifice.
Now that her plan to save her son through sheer force has failed, she is forced to accept some humiliating agreements:
"If only you could save my son, keep him alive..."
"You can do whatever you want with my body, it's up to you!" Florence said in a cold voice.
As long as my son survives!
Qin Chu sighed helplessly. Couldn't this woman just let him finish what he was saying?
Before Qin Chu could react, Onions, who was standing next to him, seemed to be provoked by Qin Chu's words. Its body suddenly began to tremble violently, and two forked marks quickly appeared on the back of its hand.
Crimson threads, like markings, spread from the back of his hand to every corner of his body.
Chapter Two is presented.
Chapter 258 My son is gone, so let's have another one (3)
To reiterate, Qin Chu was not Cao Cao; he had no interest in other men's wives.
Real.
Florence was a woman Qin Chu loathed, but this loathing was different from the hatred he felt for Ekaterina, Rosweisse, and Athena. Facing Florence, Qin Chu couldn't even muster the Desire for revenge.
She Onions very much.
However, Florence deserves a great deal of credit for how Onions has become what he is today; she is at least 80% responsible for it.
Her doting affection went too far. Even if she had been educated like a typical aristocratic family, she might have produced an idle second-generation heir, but she wouldn't have become as arrogant and disdainful of everyone as she is now.
Seeing Florence's sacrificial expression, as if she wouldn't care if he defiled her for her son, Qin Chu's expression was somewhat mocking. "Ms. Florence, I admit, you are a beauty..."
"But please, open your eyes and take a look."
How many outstanding and beautiful girls do I know?
"Angelica, Violet, Norma, Antasia ... is any of them worse than you?"
"Please don't think too highly of yourself. Your charm isn't as great as you imagine. I'm not that desperate."
Hiss...
Florence's body trembled violently.
Qin Chu's words Wrath Florence even more than a direct insult or defamation.
That damned bastard actually used the phrase "hunger makes him indiscriminate" to describe himself?
Florence has always been very confident in her beauty and figure. After all, even after her husband's death and having children, she still had a constant stream of suitors.
Moreover, all of these suitors possessed high social standing and formidable strength. How could someone so popular be considered by Qin Chu to be merely someone he'd only pursue when he was desperate?
The woman glared angrily at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu's expression remained indifferent. "Tell me, what kind of magic allows you to move freely underground?"
Florence frowned slightly, forcibly suppressing her anger. So this Hero had his eye on this ability?
A mocking smile played on her lips, "Want this ability? Sorry, that's impossible. This isn't magic, it's my power, and I can't teach it to you."
"Perhaps you could offer a different condition."
No, no, no, besides this power, it's really hard to find anything else about you that could attract my attention.
Qin Chu was about to tell Florence, asking her to cooperate in seizing this power. In return, he was willing to spare Onions' life. But before he could speak, a strange voice suddenly came from the side...
"Ouch..."
It was like the howl of a wounded wild beast.
In a flash, Qin Chu and Florence both turned to the side, where the one who had let out the howl was none other than Onions.
All that could be seen was this man whose legs were completely burned off, who had somehow raised his head, opened his mouth, and let out a shrill howl towards the sky.
His body was trembling violently.
On the charred legs, pieces of burnt flesh were peeling off, revealing the bright red flesh underneath.
Strange red, spiderweb-like marks have covered his face, and even his eyeballs are filled with those eerie threads.
Dark red, metallic-looking chunks of flesh began to rapidly grow on the charred, peeled flesh, with layers of dark skin appearing on their surface.
Tiny scales grow on the surface of the skin.
This process seemed to be filled with endless pain for Onions; his body was trembling violently, and even the howls coming from his mouth were filled with despair.
At this moment, it seems that Onions, that foolish man, finally realized his fate.
He could feel a violent, bloodthirsty, and destructive consciousness gradually taking over his body.
Both body and soul are rapidly transforming into the monster.
No, don't do this...
He didn't want to become a hideous monster and then be purified in the Holy Light like Karthus, but Onions didn't have the ability to reverse that transformation.
His voice was less a howl than a lament, even a yearning.
He yearns for someone to kill him before he completely transforms into a monster.
Qin Chu's expression quickly darkened. Good heavens, has the erosion finally begun?
This scene is so similar to what happened to Karthus in the past.
Instead of immediately killing Onions, he suddenly retreated.
A large crowd of onlookers were pointing and whispering at Onions.
Evil God.
Pollute.
Erosion.
Monster...
Various rustling sounds came from all around.
Scenes from the gladiatorial arena and outside the Sykes Grand Hotel flashed through the minds of many clergy and Knight, and their faces began to turn pale.
Has Onions, the holy son of the mighty Earth Mother Church, also been corrupted by Evil God?
God, this is absolutely terrible.
Even seasoned soldiers were horrified by what they saw.
Only Florence seemed completely oblivious to the strange change in her son. Despite having many broken bones, she suddenly found strength in no time after Qin Chu left. Her eyes brightened, and she rushed over like a madwoman, embracing Onions tightly.
Ignoring the blood and grime covering Onions's face, he kissed her with a doting smile.
Embracing.
Her eyes were only on Onions.
After her husband's death, Onions became her only remaining attachment.
She didn't care what her son would become; even if he turned into a monster, he would still be her son.
Onions's consciousness was gradually fading; his legs had completely transformed into the muscular legs of a beast, and his feet had become beast claws, ending in sharp, knife-like nails.
The scales had completely covered the legs and buttocks, and were spreading towards the waist, chest, arms, and face.
Perhaps due to differences in strength and aptitude, Onions's conversion speed was slightly slower than Karthus's, not as exaggerated as it had been.
