Fifth Chapter Posted. / Good Thing That Woman Isn't Here (1) ...
Qin Chu humbly replied, "How could that be? Princess Milo is a princess; I am not worthy of her."
Milo smiled wryly. He'd got it backwards. It was he, this furry princess, who was absolutely unworthy of Qin Chu, the Hero and Pope of the Holy Church.
Of course, Qin Chu's answer wasn't unpleasant either.
Little Saya was a little puzzled. After all, based on her understanding of Qin Chu, she would never have gone through all this trouble if it weren't for the woman he had his eye on.
Compared to Princess Milo, she felt that Selma and Fini might be more to Qin Chu's liking.
Well, whatever.
She was just there to help out. "I need to prepare for brewing a magic potion; you'll have to gather the raw materials yourselves!"
The Demon King's Palace.
The deepest, most secret chamber.
A tall figure lay on a stone slab.
His body was bound by dark chains, and painful moans kept coming from his throat.
His tall body was covered in cracks and fissures, almost no intact skin. They were more like wounds from something sharp, dripping with blood.
This person is none other than the Demonic Beast Grand Prince, Daiaboliq!
His eyes were filled with intense fear, his body trembled uncontrollably, and the chains binding him rattled loudly.
Suddenly, footsteps approached, Daiaboliq's pupils contracted sharply, his lips trembling uncontrollably; his fear seemed to have reached an unprecedented limit.
A dark figure appeared beside the stone slab where Daiaboliq lay, clutching a sharp knife in his hand.
Chapter Five is presented.
Chapter 439 Fortunately, that woman wasn't there (1)
The Demonic Beast Grand Prince Daiaboliq was indeed revived by the Demon King Nag through some means.
But for Daiaboliq, this was perhaps not a good thing; it was a feeling more terrifying than death, a hell that filled Daiaboliq with deep despair yet from which he could never escape.
His body was mangled beyond recognition, with hardly any intact skin left. In some places, one could even see the bare bones. Thick, foul-smelling blood flowed continuously down Daiaboliq's body, sticking to the stone slab beneath him and emitting a stench.
The only part of his body that could barely be considered intact was his head, where the flesh and skin had suffered slightly less damage. Even so, his face was still twisted into a grimace from prolonged torture and pain.
He wanted to die, but was not allowed to.
His face, which was originally quite presentable, had now become exceptionally ugly.
No one, not even Daiaboliq's closest confidant, would likely recognize the creature before them as the very prince they had always served.
Daiaboliq was shouting for help.
However, due to the sealed-off room, not a single sound could escape; only the sharp wails echoed continuously in the empty space.
As the dark figure approached, Daiaboliq's scream abruptly ceased. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Although he no longer screamed, the intensity and frequency of his trembling increased dramatically, and his teeth chattered rapidly. Clearly, the intense fear had become unbearable for his will and soul.
Under the dim light, the shadowy figure suddenly raised his right hand, revealing a sharp knife in his palm.
Daiaboliq knew his nightmare was about to begin again.
His lips moved, uttering an almost whispered plea, "Father... please... kill me!"
The faint sound was the complete opposite of the previous screams.
He wants to die.
Indeed, the figure holding a sharp knife right next to the stone slab where Daiaboliq lay was his father, the Magic Creature King, Nag.
Daiaboliq had always been terrified of his father, but only after being saved by him did Daiaboliq truly understand just how terrifying his father was.
He would rather have died a clean and swift death at the hands of the Hero than endure the endless suffering that awaited him upon his reawakening.
"Oh, my dear son, why do you say such hurtful things?"
The dark figure in front of him uttered a hollow, eerie sound, which floated in Daiaboliq's ears like a ghost.
"I'm not just doing this for myself, but for all the Magic Creature, and especially for you..."
"Don't you realize just how powerful you are now?"
"For the sake of the future of all of us Magic Creature, just bear with it a little bit; it's only a little pain."
With a cold voice, the Demon King Nag's gaze swept over Daiaboliq, seemingly searching for a place to strike, but... there were very few places to choose from.
After a brief hesitation of a few seconds, the dagger suddenly fell, and with a hiss, a long strip of flesh between Daiaboliq's two ribs was cut off by Daiaboliq.
The excruciating pain caused Daiaboliq's body to convulse.
The Demon King Nag ignored it, took the meat strip and turned to leave, heading straight for a strange container. At first glance, it appeared to be a huge glass container, more than five meters high and nearly two meters in diameter.
It was filled with a dark red liquid, mainly composed of the blood that the Demon King Nag had extracted from the God's Head. A large amount of magic potion was also added, turning the liquid from its original bright red to a dark red, making it look even more eerie.
These potions were almost all produced based on the research reports of the Dark Witch Saya.
That foolish woman had no idea what she was researching.
Staring at the glass container in front of him, the Demon King Nag's hesitation did not last long, and he quickly threw the slice of meat in his hand into the container.
Then, a scene so bizarre it sent chills down your spine unfolded.
The pieces of flesh removed from Daiaboliq's body were rapidly changing, as if they were breathing, contracting and expanding like a beating heart.
Then, the chunk of meat began to wriggle in a very bizarre way.
On the surface of the meat, numerous fresh granulations were rapidly growing and spreading.
In the glass container, the volume of the meat chunks in the dark red liquid is getting larger and larger. Gradually, the meat chunks are elongated, and even faintly reveal the outline of a human figure.
A new life is being born, but for Daiaboliq, lying on the stone slab behind him, the real hell has just begun.
In his mind's eye, Daiaboliq felt as if a piece of his soul had been torn apart. The pain was a hundred or a thousand times more terrifying than any physical pain. It was a sensation that no living being could bear.
The piercing screams nearly tore Daiaboliq's throat apart.
The whole process lasted a very long time, and the outline of the meat chunks in the container became clearer and clearer until it finally transformed into another Demonic Beast Grand Prince.
However, the skin on its body seemed to have not fully grown, with large cracks appearing, making it look particularly ugly.
After releasing the new life from the container, the Demon King Nag produced a bone needle and threads that seemed to be made from the sinews of some creature. He used these threads to stitch together the cracked skin on the new Daiaboliq, and with a casual wave of his hand, a black cloak hanging nearby flew into his palm and draped over the newborn Daiaboliq.
After the Demon King Nag input a command, the newly reborn Daiaboliq quietly left the secret chamber.
Turning around, Nag looked at his eldest son, who was almost completely still behind him. He felt little pity or sadness; his gaze even seemed somewhat disappointed.
"This is not the outcome we wanted..."
He seemed to be talking to someone.
Soon, another voice came from the Demon King Nag: "Damn it, I didn't expect it to turn out like this. This is so different from what we expected."
Daiaboliq acquired a miraculous ability to regenerate.
The pieces of flesh that are separated from the body will regrow into a new individual once they reach a certain weight.
This individual possesses strength almost comparable to Daiaboliq himself at his peak, but lacks intelligence. Like a tamed hunting dog, it can only accept simple commands. To be honest, this is a terrifying ability, but it is not the ability they desire.
Moreover, what's worse is that Daiaboliq himself cannot regenerate, nor can he heal his wounds with healing magic. The Demon King Nag can only use some special but cruel methods to maintain his eldest son's life and consciousness.
"How about we use your body for the experiment? Your body is definitely much stronger than your son's."
Do you want to die?
"In no mood."
"Then shut the hell up..." Nag was arguing with himself, and if it weren't for the bloody and terrifying scene around him, the scene would have seemed somewhat comical.
"Perhaps only the body of Second-Generation Hero can satisfy our needs. Hopefully, we can achieve something this time."
The Demon King Nag was discussing detailed plans with another being within his body, oblivious to the pitiful, pathetic, and miserable figure behind him.
For them, it was just an experiment.
They wouldn't allow Daiaboliq to die until his value had been fully exploited.
It's not me who's in pain, so it doesn't matter.
Glug!
Outside the Demon King's Palace, Ramon, who looked drunk and was carrying a bottle of wine, trembled slightly. An indescribable sense of fear made the hairs on Ramon's body stand on end.
A third Daiaboliq appeared.
Exeter, the royal city.
The Elf King Alfred moved his previously stiff limbs.
His bloodshot eyes still held a hint of suspicion.
Alfred understood that the mysterious and powerful girl before him was also Qin Chu's enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, a principle the Elf King understood.
He wouldn't refuse to cooperate with Eileen, after all, Qin Chu's strength was simply too great, and it was impossible for him to kill Qin Chu in a one-on-one fight with his own level of skill.
However, Alfred still seriously doubted whether even the two of them combined could really take down Qin Chu.
"Hmph, you're overthinking it." Eileen clearly knew what Alfred was thinking, "Qin Chu's strength is far greater than you think. Even with me, it would take at least ten War God level beings to deal with him."
Ten?
This number clearly shocked Alfred, and the Elf King was even on the verge of backing down.
Is Qin Chu really that powerful?
"And that doesn't even include Sylph and Athena."
Upon hearing the name Sylph, Alfred's heart skipped a beat.
That was his woman, yet he could only stand outside the window, watching through the shadows of the curtains as the woman he loved served that man. What could be more humiliating, more painful than that?
What made the Elf King even more incredulous was that Qin Chu had spent a full two hours on and off... Is that even a human being capable of?
Looking back, I realized I could only last two minutes, which made me inexplicably more upset.
"But Alfred, you must understand that now is our best chance to kill Qin Chu, because Qin Chu only has Athena and Sylph by his side..."
"Violet, Antia... and Heloise, Ieta, Ekaterina, Norma... Your Excellency, you have no idea how many powerful figures Qin Chu has around him."
"Once Qin Chu returns to the Imperial City, surrounded by so many experts stronger than you, do you think you'll still have a chance to kill Qin Chu in this lifetime?"
In particular, a mysterious woman with silver hair and red eyes.
That woman's power terrified Eileen.
Having reached a completely new level, he found himself utterly defenseless against that woman.
Fortunately, that woman isn't here right now.
"In short, now is our best, and only, chance to kill Qin Chu."
Chapter 1 is here. Thank you for the 1000 coins from "Broken Bridge in the Rain" and the 500 coins from "Family Brother". Thank you for your support.
Chapter 440 Has the Elf King Changed His Nature? (2)
Although Eileen said that now was the best opportunity to kill Qin Chu, Alfred was becoming increasingly agitated.
To kill Qin Chu alone would require at least ten experts at the War God level or above, not to mention Athena and Sylph.
"Don't worry, I have three more helpers who will start arriving tonight. These three are far more powerful than you imagine," Eileen said smugly.
Eileen is willing to cooperate with anyone, even Magic Creature, as long as it can revive Jello and kill Qin Chu.
Eileen didn't know who that person was. At the time, she had just fled the Imperial City in a hurry and was unable to live in human territory. She could only move around in the area where humans and demons met. Suddenly, a mysterious man appeared in front of her and asked for cooperation.
The other party is willing to reveal the location of a Soul Fragment Jello's soul, and even provide him with enough power to kill Qin Chu.
In return, all I have to do is offer the other party a little blood at specific times.
Although the man was extremely mysterious, his strength was as unfathomable as the deep sea, and the price paid by both parties in this transaction was completely disproportionate.
But Eileen had no choice at the time, especially with the fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment involved, so Eileen agreed without hesitation.
On the very day of the agreement, Eileen had two liters of blood drained from her, and then learned from the other party that a Soul Fragment had fallen in the Exeter Kingdom. Furthermore, the other party guaranteed that in the coming period, they would gradually send over the people who would assist Eileen in killing Qin Chu. These people were extremely powerful and completely obedient to Eileen's orders. Even if Eileen wanted to lead these people into the Imperial City, she would not hesitate in the slightest.
