Saya's Background (4)

This allowed Onions to barely maintain a sliver of his sanity. His hands, now transformed into sharp claws, gripped Florence's shoulders and forcefully pushed her off him.

Florence, her face filled with sorrow, sobbed uncontrollably as she looked at her son, who was enduring immense pain. "Onions, what... what's wrong? It's me..."

Onions was panting heavily, the scales had spread to his neck, and his face showed intense pain from struggling. Crimson tears streamed from his mad eyes.

He didn't say a word to his mother, but suddenly his gaze turned to Qin Chu was a few meters away.

This man, who had always been arrogant and unruly, displayed astonishing willpower at this moment. He struggled to control his body and knelt down in front of Qin Chu with a thud.

His head was pressed against the ground.

The man who would never bow down to Qin Chu, whom he hated the most, no matter what happened, knelt down at this moment.

He relinquished all his dignity and glory.

His voice was hoarse; every word he uttered was an immense pain for him.

"Hero... Sir..."

"Please... spare my mother..."

"She and I are different; she hasn't committed any sins..."

He was arrogant and domineering, completely disregarding the lives of others. Killing others was a trivial matter to Onions, but his mother was the most important and cherished person in his life.

Florence shook her head repeatedly, sobbing uncontrollably.

This woman was no longer the former leader of the Earth Mother Church at this moment, but simply a mother watching her son head towards his doom.

"Then... kill me... please."

He was watching the very person he once loathed kneel before him, begging and slowly heading towards his doom. Qin Chu merely lowered his eyelids, and a bright Holy Light began to emanate from his body.

Florence seemed to understand what was about to happen. Her hair was disheveled, and she shook her head repeatedly, her face completely covered in tears. She stood in front of her son like a madwoman.

"No, don't..."

"There must be some other way..."

There must be more.

Dignity, face, pride—I can give them all up.

She knelt on the yellow sand, pleading with Qin Chu, "Please, don't hurt my son! He can still be saved! Please, I'll do anything you ask..."

However, she didn't finish her sentence.

At the rear, Onions's will could no longer hold.

To be honest, Qin Chu was somewhat impressed by Onions; at least at this moment, his willpower had exceeded its limits.

Even Karthus couldn't withstand the complete corruption of the Evil God for that long. Although his strength was far inferior to Karthus', he endured for a longer time than Karthus because of his love and affection for his mother.

Even with such unwavering determination, nothing could be changed.

The transformation into something bizarre is finally complete.

Onions was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head. His head had completely transformed into a hideous monster, with three twisted, spiraling horns on top, his face covered with lizard-like scales, and his mouth open, revealing sharp teeth like those of a shark.

His scarlet eyes were fixed on Florence's retreating figure.

That was his closest person.

Once the alienation is complete, it will begin to harm those closest to it, transforming into a monster that only knows how to kill.

Roar...

The next instant, Onions roared from his throat and pounced on Florence, biting Florence neck and spurting blood.

Florence trembled violently.

But she seemed to feel no pain anymore; her face even wore a somewhat distorted smile as she gently stroked her scaly cheeks, letting the hideous monster devour her flesh.

But at that moment, a silver-white light sword suddenly shot over.

With a soft "thud," it pierced straight through Onions's head.

With a piercing scream, Onions's body fell backward.

This scene turned Florence pale, and she screamed, "No, don't hurt my son..."

Qin Chu couldn't bear to watch that crazy, erratic behavior anymore. He didn't know why, but he felt extremely agitated.

Onions's current miserable state is due to his own foolish act of breaking the seal of the Holy Light, which caused the threads to escape and burrow into Onions body.

But he was just feeling irritable.

He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Florence's long hair, and slapped her hard, hoping Florence would calm down a little.

"Shut your mouth. He's not your son anymore. Your son is your son, but weren't the other people your son killed their parents' children too?"

"Or do you think that idiot Onions wants you to be eaten alive like this?"

"If her son is gone, then she'll just go have another one!"

"This time, he's really taught him a lesson!"

Thank you to "I Don't Want to Be the Supreme Treasure" for the donation, and thank you for your support.

Chapter 259 Saya's Background (4)

"Our son is gone, so let's have another one."

Damn it, how many sons does that old bastard Wadsworth have? He has so many sons, he wouldn't care if one or two died.

Qin Chu's voice echoed in Florence's ears. Florence froze, then her body went limp and she burst into tears. Even if she had another child, it wouldn't be Onions anymore.

Her Onions is gone.

Even if one were to have a child, with whom could one have it?

Florence actually knew. When she saw strange scales appearing on her son's body, she knew he was finished; she just didn't want to accept it.

When Qin Chu's slaps and curses jolted Florence out of her illusion, she was forced to confront the bloody reality before her.

Onions is not dead yet; his wounds are slowly healing.

Although both were transformed into monsters, Onions' strength was far inferior to Karthus', and the monsters they became were not even on the same level.

Back in Karthus' time, even the combined might of Augustus, Saint Monica, and Wadsworth couldn't defeat him... although those three old foxes all possessed hidden true abilities.

Now, even Qin Chu alone is enough to completely suppress Onions.

A surge of Holy Light enveloped Onions's body.

The holy light began to purify Onions's defilement.

He murmured a song to himself.

Qin Chu made a loose clasp above Onions's head. "In the name of the Goddess of Holy Light..."

The silver longsword, symbolizing the power of judgment, once again appeared in Qin Chu's palm.

Onions was still struggling desperately at Qin Chu's feet, his eyes now completely crazed.

The next instant, the Sword of Judgment pierced Onions' forehead with a soft thud.

The Holy Light flowed along the sword, instantly penetrating Onions' entire body and cleansing him of the filth and corruption from within.

As Florence wept, Onions's body turned to ashes.

A deathly silence surrounded them, broken only by Florence's hoarse voice echoing through the air.

Qin Chu glanced at Florence but said nothing more, simply shaking his head and turning to leave. He did not kill Florence there.

The onlookers, though disliking Florence's selfish love for her son, couldn't help but feel pity for Florence. Killing this woman wouldn't improve his reputation; it might even make the Hero seem too cruel.

Killing a woman who has just lost her son and is crying on the ground in front of thousands of people would completely ruin Hero's reputation!

Moreover, Qin Chu couldn't use the Devourer in front of so many people. If it weren't for so many eyes watching, things might have turned out differently!

No one could have predicted that the Onions affair would end in such a way.

Inas bit her lip; she had wanted to come and help, but Ekaterina was watching her intently, Inas couldn't do anything.

Only after Onions had been purified did Ekaterina release Inas.

With somewhat heavy steps, Inas walked step by step to Florence's side. She wanted to comfort the woman who had raised her since childhood and was almost like a mother to her, but looking at Florence's appearance, she didn't know how to start.

Inas knew better than anyone how much Florence loved her son.

It's unclear how much time passed, but night had gradually fallen when Florence's sobs finally subsided, leaving only a trace of sorrow on her face. She looked up at Inas:

"Inas ..."

Inas was startled as soon as she spoke; her voice was extremely hoarse, perhaps her throat was already cracked.

She shook her head vigorously, then extended a right hand toward Inas.

The next second, accompanied by a surge of Magic Power.

Inas's body tensed instantly, and she couldn't help but let out a painful groan. Chain marks came off Inas 'Inas body, the marks of a power that had been imprinted deep within her.

Several seconds later, there was a loud crack, and Inas's chains shattered and he vanished completely.

The pain vanished at this moment, replaced by an unprecedented sense of ease.

Inas looked at Florence with a blank expression, not knowing what had happened to her.

"Feel sorry..."

Florence spoke slowly, her gaze falling on the ashes on the ground, purified by the flames formed from Holy Light.

In reality, she knew that her son wasn't as outstanding as others had described.

He's just an ordinary child.

Her fingers traced the ashes on the ground, as if she could still feel Onions' warmth. A sudden pang of regret gripped her heart. If she had simply raised her son as an ordinary child, if she hadn't placed such high expectations on him and put so much pressure on him, would he have been happier?

If he hadn't protected Onions so closely, would Onyne have realized sooner how dangerous the world was?

Otherwise, Onions wouldn't have ended up in this state.

The one who killed her son was not Qin Chu, but herself, the mother.

She finally understood this, but it was too late.

"I adopted you because I saw your talent and knew your future was limitless. I only hoped that if I died one day, Onions would still have someone to take care of him. So I placed a restriction on your body and soul, making you obey him, protect him, and care for him..."

Inas's face suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled slightly.

"Now that Onions is dead, you are free to do whatever you want... You can resign from your position as a saintess of the Earth Mother Church. I know you never wanted to be a saintess."

"You've always loved adventure since you were little, haven't you?"

Florence's lips curled into a slight smile, "You can become a mercenary, or an adventurer... do whatever you want, live freely."

"I'm sorry, all these years I've been suppressing your true nature."

"You hate me, don't you... You can curse me, hit me, or even kill me if you want."

She heard footsteps; Inas was approaching.

She thought Inas would be furious, or at least slap her hard, but he didn't. A soft, Holy Light bloomed on Florence's neck, and the wound on her neck began to heal slowly.

Florence looked up and saw that Inas was still holding a magic scroll in his hand.

She bit her lip lightly. "Hate? I guess so."

"But... at least I know that without you, I would have starved to death long ago."

On the other side, Qin Chu's figure appeared outside the camp.

He sat quietly on the treetop, from the afternoon until now, his gaze fixed on the two moons in the sky.

A serene smile graced Qin Chu's face. This moon, aside from being an extra one, was actually quite similar to the moon on Earth.

Saya sat quietly on Qin Chu's shoulders, her two fair legs gently swaying against Qin Chu's chest.

"This isn't like you at all..."

After an unknown amount of time, Saya suddenly spoke.

"What?" Qin Chu raised an eyebrow.
