Counterattack

"Master, what are you doing here?" Athena's eyes were full of confusion.

"I sensed some movement over here, so I came to check it out."

Qin Chu smiled, squatted down, and gently patted Athena's forehead. "My Athena, without my order, you are not even allowed to die, understand?"

Athena's eyes widened. What did Master mean by this?

Wasn't she supposed to have been killed by those two vicious maids Eileen and Aili? Could it be that her master had brought her back to life? How did he do that? Athena felt Qin Chu's mystery and power more and more.

His master saved him once too... just like Jello had done before.

For a moment, Athena felt a slight confusion, but Qin Chu's figure seemed to become clearer.

Originally, he was forced to treat Qin Chu as his master simply because of a transaction, but now, he feels... this might not be so bad.

But what kind of talk is that? Without his orders, they're not even allowed to die?

Is it necessary to be so domineering?

The owner is just concerned about me, can't they use a gentler tone?

And also, Aili, Eileen... those two girls, this matter won't end so easily, absolutely not!

Meanwhile, the Twin Thieves quickly fled with Jello's Soul Fragment.

Now, with the scroll of Resurrection Spell in her hands and the first fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment in her possession, she can be on equal footing with Rosweisse.

For a long time!

When the sun was already high in the sky, Eileen and Aili finally stopped.

The two petite girls had beads of sweat on their foreheads; their stamina wasn't very good.

Perhaps because they had just done something wrong, the two girls just wanted to get as far away from there as possible. Now that they had entered the heart of the Orwell Empire, they should be a little safer for the time being.

Looking at the Soul Fragment in her palm, Aili trembled with excitement.

I finally got it.

Aili was absolutely certain that this thing was a fragment of her Jello's Soul Fragment, because even just holding it in her palm gave Aili the warmth of having her Jello right beside her.

After a long while, Aili carefully put away the Soul Fragment in her hand.

"Sister, we've obtained the Soul Fragment now..." Aili said quietly, "Although it's only one piece, at least we've seen hope. But the Resurrection Spell is still in Rosweisse's hands. That woman is very cunning; she won't let us see the contents of the Resurrection Spell."

Although it had been shown to Sylph and Aili once before, it was only a part, not the whole thing. Aili couldn't remember any of those confusing and complicated terms.

Having obtained this Soul Fragment, Aili seemed to become arrogant with excitement, and a hint of impulsiveness was clearly visible on her face.

Eileen's face darkened. "You mean you want to give Rosweisse to too..."

"That's right, don't you think that woman is annoying too?" Aili immediately said.

"Relying on her status as a saintess of the Holy Church and that damned Divine Oracle, she acts like she's Jello's lover. Ugh, disgusting."

"She's always putting on airs, speaking in a high-pitched, affected voice; it makes me want to vomit."

"After Jello is resurrected, that bitch Rosweisse will definitely not let him go. She'll be clinging to Jello every day. Can you tolerate that?"

"Why don't we just get rid of Rosweisse when we get back? We've already fallen out with Sylph and killed Athena, so what difference does it make if there's one more Rosweisse?" Aili said coldly.

His eyes were filled with intense killing intent.

Eileen seemed shocked by her sister's ferocity and cruelty.

"Aili, Roseweiser is different from Athena Sylph. Sylph and Athena have gotten too close to Qin Chu and may have already betrayed us, affecting our plan to resurrect Brother Jero, which is why we have to get rid of them," Eileen said gently. "But Roseweiser is different. You know how much Roseweiser loves Brother Jero. When it comes to resurrecting Brother Jero, she is an ally we would never betray."

"Or are you planning to kill all your teammates and rely on just the two of us to revive Jello? Can you even do that?"

Aili was a little unhappy that her sister disagreed with killing Rosweisse, and she muttered, "Even if it's just us, it's not like we can't do it."

"Alright, alright, then let's do as you say, sister."

"I'm a little tired. It's been a long time since I've rested. Let's take turns sleeping." Aili stretched her slender arms and yawned.

In order to come and provide support, they have been traveling long distances for the past few days, resting for less than two hours each day. Even though they are quite capable, they are starting to feel the strain.

As soon as the sun shines, I feel even sleepier.

"You go to sleep first, I'll keep watch," Aili said to her sister. "I'll wake you up in two hours."

Eileen nodded lightly. She was indeed very tired. She found a flat spot to lie down, rested her head on her arm, curled up into a ball, and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Aili's gaze kept drifting towards her sister's sleeping figure.

The sharp dagger spun rapidly in her palm, making a hissing sound. Her beautiful eyes were already narrowed to slits, and a certain impulse in her heart was growing stronger and stronger.

That's her own sister...

Chapter 304 Counterattack (4)

That's her own sister!

Making this decision was really not easy.

The older sister's words seemed to make sense... If all the former members of the Hero's Party were killed, it would indeed be almost impossible for the two of them to gather Jello's Soul Fragment and the various materials needed to revive Jello.

However, if there is only one sister left, then it might be possible to do it.

This was their secret; no one else knew it but the two of them.

Born as twins, they are naturally connected in some way. This connection not only allows them to understand each other's thoughts, but also enables them to exert the strength of three or even four people in battle.

Moreover, this connection allows them to absorb each other's strength...

This absorption occurs without any loss; it completely appropriates another person's power for oneself.

It's as if they should have been one person, but inexplicably split into two, and only when the two of them become one can they be a complete person.

If he could absorb all of his sister's power, his strength would increase dramatically, and becoming a powerful figure like Zimmerman, or even Augustus or Saint Monica, would not be impossible.

With this level of power, even if he were alone, it wouldn't be impossible for him to revive his Jello.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that being alone makes many things easier and more likely to succeed.

After her Jello is resurrected, she will be all alone... Just thinking about this possibility made Aili's breathing quicken, and a blush even appeared on her face.

The fingers gripping the dagger were so tight that the knuckles were all white.

Originally, Aili didn't plan to get rid of her sister so quickly. She wanted to wait until all the other members were dealt with before dealing with Eileen, after all, she was her own sister.

But if we add this chip, then...

Moreover, Athena has been killed here, and Muse is also dead. Although we have obtained the Soul Fragment of Jello, if we don't suffer any losses on our side, it will be difficult to explain to Ekaterina and Rosweisse when we return... Although these two are also targets to be killed, it depends on the opportunity. Until the opportunity comes, we can only endure it for the time being.

The more he thought about it, the more necessary it seemed to be to kill his sister.

With Jello by his side, he only needs himself; he doesn't need anyone else, no one else is acceptable.

Jello is mine... mine... mine, all mine!

Aili had no idea that her possessiveness was so intense deep inside that it bordered on pathological, and her consciousness was even on the verge of madness.

His cold gaze fell on his sleeping sister; her once beautiful and adorable face now looked like a terrifying demon.

"There's no other way, sister..."

"This is all for Jello..."

Aili murmured to herself.

However, killing his sister was not an easy task. His sister's strength was exactly the same as his, and their fighting styles were identical. They knew each other intimately.

Although her older sister seemed to be asleep, her body's instincts were still intact; if she launched an attack now, her sister would react immediately.

So, would it be better to let her sleep a little longer?

A sinister smile curled at the corner of her lips. Aili flipped her hand, and a small, gelatinous substance appeared in her palm—it was a piece of incense... calling it incense was just thief's slang.

This stuff doesn't smell at all when it burns.

But it can quickly put the target into a state of sleep, like a dead pig, the kind that wouldn't wake up even if struck by lightning.

As mentioned before, Aili and Eileen, these two thieves, are proficient in all skills related to theft and assassination: daggers, threads, hidden weapons, backstabs, poisons...

Putting the target to sleep, then killing them and stealing all the valuables from their home, is arguably their most common tactic.

This incense is quite complicated to make, and its price is outrageous. Ordinary thieves simply cannot afford it, and the items they steal are not even worth as much as the price of this incense.

Silently, Aili lit the incense. As she watched the wisps of smoke gradually spread outwards, she immediately sealed her breath, even down to every pore on her body. As the smoke drifted towards her sister, the smile on her face became increasingly distorted.

The whole process lasted for nearly twenty minutes before Aili finally confirmed that her sister was completely asleep.

She could even hear snoring.

At this point, Aili had no more scruples. She casually twirled the dagger in her palm, humming a tune as she nimbly walked towards Eileen was lying on the ground, fast asleep like a little piglet.

She was already certain of victory; nothing unexpected could possibly happen.

Even though her sister possessed the same immense strength as her, she couldn't unleash it at this moment. She still had a million ways to deal with her sleeping sister.

Looking at that pretty face that was so much like her own, Aili sighed, "Sister... I'm so sorry, I did this for Jello. Rest in peace, I'll take good care of Jello in the future..."

With an increasingly cold voice, Aili plunged the dagger in her hand toward her sister's heart.

Just then, a hissing sound rang out.

A flash of silver light suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, several slender fingers, sticky with blood, fell from mid-air.

The dagger in Aili's hand fell to the ground, and she staggered backward, letting out a sharp, mournful cry.

Looking down, I saw that all four of my fingers had been cut off.

The ten fingers are connected to the heart.

Moreover, having four fingers severed at once caused intense pain, turning Aili's face ashen and her body trembling violently.

The dagger was incredibly fast.

With two sharp hissing sounds, two cold glints tore through the ankles.

Both Achilles tendons were severed.

The older sister, who should have been fast asleep long ago due to lying on the ground and the effect of the incense, had somehow opened her eyes and even stood up, gripping a dagger tightly in her palm, and walked towards him step by step.

A drop of bright red blood fell from the tip of the dagger.

They're true best friends; they both want to kill each other.

A strong sense of fear welled up inside her, Aili's body uncontrollably retreated step by step. Because her Achilles tendons had been severed, her movements became unsteady, and her voice was hoarse. "You're not asleep?"

"My little Aili ..." Eileen's face revealed a cold smile, "Have you forgotten that we are best friends?"

"We're so alike, do you think I wouldn't think of something you can think of?"

"I know what you're thinking."

"But, no matter what, I'm still your older sister..."

Eileen smiled.

Your sister is still your sister.

Aili thought she had disguised herself well, but she was still no match for Eileen.

Her eyes darted around, searching for any chance to survive.

But now the situation is very bad. With four fingers severed and two Achilles tendons cut off, he has no chance of surviving against his sister.

A forced smile appeared on her face, "Sister, what are you doing? I was just trying to joke with you, you don't really want to kill me, do you?"

"A joke?" Eileen raised an eyebrow and smiled somewhat flippantly. "Hmm, don't worry, I won't be as cruel as you, so I won't kill you. I just want to absorb your power."

"Of course, you'd better not resist before that."

Laugh...

Eileen's hand trembled, and thin, sharp blades whistled out from between her fingers in an instant.

With her body severely injured, Aili had no way to dodge. She felt a sharp pain in her left palm as several more fingers were severed.
