A Tender Moment with the Daughter of Death
What were they doing all this time? They didn't even try to rescue their sisters. No wonder they're Magic Creature.
What benefits can we gain?
"Once the Hero is defeated, Princess Atris guarantees to destroy the rings that control you two. From then on, you and Heloise will be free and will never be enslaved by the Hero again. Isn't that a great deal?" Vina said smugly.
In Vina's view, Heloise and Ieta, being Magic Creature, would surely suffer much ridicule, humiliation, and torment if they followed the Hero.
Magic Creature can never gain the true trust of humans, and Hero can never gain the true loyalty of Magic Creature.
These two women were definitely determined to escape the Hero's control, and now that such a good opportunity was presented to them, they absolutely couldn't refuse.
As long as these two women can keep them informed of the Hero's whereabouts, killing Hero will be no difficult task if they prepare in advance.
Once she obtains the Hero's corpse, Princess Atris will become the next Demon King.
The Snow Woman and the Blood Elf Clan would naturally also reap significant benefits.
Heloise and Ieta, two stunningly beautiful women, exchanged a glance and could see the strangeness in each other's eyes... Were they enslaved?
Well, that's nominally true.
Qin Chu was their master, and they were merely Qin Chu's slave.
However, they had no complaints about their current lives, and Qin Chu was definitely not like Daiaboliq, who would never torment them... Moreover, because of Qin Chu's strength and status as Hero, even though they were just Magic Creature, they could still gain respect. No one in the Imperial City dared to be rude to them. Even proud nobles and priests had to be polite when they saw the two of them.
Every day, I have a comfortable room, a soft bed to rest in, delicious food made by Angelica herself, and I receive my master's favor every few days... My life is actually quite leisurely now.
Returning to the Demonic Beast Territory, living in tree hollows and caves, breathing in filthy, foul air, and eating half-cooked food? As Magic Creature once captured by the Hero, he inevitably suffers humiliation and bullying from other Magic Creature...
They're not stupid; compared to the other side, they simply can't find the motivation to return to the Magic Creature's territory.
Moreover, what about the Magic Creature's guarantee?
That would be worse than saying something like, "The woman I truly love is more valuable to me."
Even if the two sisters really helped Atris kill Qin Chu, the eldest princess probably wouldn't obediently follow the agreement and destroy the ring that controlled them.
After all, they were Magic Creature themselves, and no one understood Magic Creature better than them.
However, there's no need to rush to refuse.
Although her master never said anything, Ieta always felt that as his maid, she had to make some contributions.
Thinking of this, Ieta suddenly revealed a charming smile, her bright face even making the moon lose its original color. "Sister Vina... I didn't mean to look down on Atris, but... the Hero is really not so easy to deal with."
"You must understand, the Hero once snatched the ring that controlled both of us from Daiaboliq. I don't believe Princess Atris possesses the power to defeat the Hero..."
"Perhaps we can use other methods, such as... first instigating other Magic Creature to attack the Hero, making the Hero fight against other Magic Creature, and then Atris can step in to clean up the mess in the end. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"
Although Heloise was naive, she remained silent at this moment, simply watching Vina quietly.
Vina was somewhat surprised by how easy Ieta was to talk to, but there was really nothing wrong with what Ieta said, as it seemed to be the most suitable situation for Princess Atris.
After all, he is Hero. Although some intelligence suggests that the Hero's strength is not as great as the legends say, his reputation still makes him someone no one dares to underestimate.
If the Hero and the other Magic Creature can fight each other to the death, then Princess Atris can reap the benefits, successfully taking the Hero's head and eliminating a wave of potential competitors.
No matter how you look at it, this is a sure win.
On the other side.
The blockade of Antia has been lifted.
Countless mangled corpses remained on the ground, including even the Abyssal Demon General Korklaf. After realizing he could not escape, this giant Slime made a desperate attempt to swallow Qin Chu whole.
Unfortunately, although Korklaf possessed the power to devour everything, this power was like a grandson meeting his grandfather in the face of the Gluttony Divinity —utterly insignificant, and Qin Chu easily ended his life.
More than two hundred powerful Magic Creature were all wiped out, and most of them didn't even leave behind a mangled corpse. All that remained on the site of the luxurious villa was a muddy pool of blood.
As for those Magic Creature, Qin Chu didn't choose to devour them. There was no way around it; he still had the Evil God's Heart and the Evil God's Right Leg inside his body that he hadn't had time to digest. These things alone would take several years, so Qin Chu didn't have the time to absorb those weak Magic Creature.
When Qin Chu, Antia, and Violet returned to the palace, they were surprised to find an extra woman inside... Who else could it be but the long-lost Daughter of Death, Ileta?
Right opposite Ileta were two Saya, one big and one small.
The two women, who were exactly alike and indistinguishable in every way, both had furrowed brows at this moment, clearly having heard some unusual information from Ileta.
Upon seeing Qin Chu appear, the two men's expressions grew increasingly somber.
This sight aroused Qin Chu's curiosity, and he glanced suspiciously at the three women. "What's wrong? Why do you all look so pale?"
After all, she's the Dark Witch.
Even if Big Saya's strength has not fully recovered, she is still a powerful being formidable enough to be matched by no other in the entire Skyvault Continent. Big Saya now possesses combat power comparable to Ileta and the Pride Witch Adelina.
He was very curious as to what could have happened to make the two Saya look so serious.
"It's a clue to a part of the Evil God's Remnant Body," Ileta said quietly, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
Ileta initially didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but after talking with the two Dark Witch, Ileta could sense that something was amiss.
Ileta knew that Qin Chu was collecting the Evil God's Remnant Body.
After letting out a long breath, Ileta's pink and white lips slowly parted. "I am not much different from before, still wandering on the Skyvault Continent, purifying the souls of the dead."
"However, not long ago, I sensed a group of extremely evil souls. Following these souls, I arrived at the deepest part of the Ten-Thousand-Mile Glacier north of the Ice Grand Duchy. The stronghold of those twisted souls lies beneath an unknown thickness of ice, and within that ice, a gigantic body is sealed..."
"It was a body more majestic and enormous than mountains, without limbs, without a head, its heart ripped out."
Trunk.
That is, the largest piece among the eight pieces of the Evil God's Remnant Limb.
Ileta actually found this piece and then informed Qin Chu about it.
Qin Chu was initially delighted.
But his brows immediately furrowed.
He now understood what these three women were worried about.
This Evil God's Remnant Limb seemed to have been delivered to their doorstep on its own initiative.
Could this be the so-called trajectory of Fate?
Starting tomorrow, I'll be updating twice a week, 8,000 words each time.
Chapter 484 Tenderness with the Daughter of Death
(4,000 characters)
The Evil God's Remnant Body is an extremely powerful and terrifying existence, containing astonishing energy. If one could absorb the Evil God's Remnant Body, the improvement in strength would be unimaginable.
But Qin Chu was not in a hurry to search for the other parts of the Evil God.
After all, his body currently has no heart that can be digested, not to mention a leg that is still waiting in line. Therefore, Qin Chu's desire to find other parts of the Evil God's body is not very strong.
Moreover, the locations of at least two Evil God's Remnant Body are now known.
Part of it is in Wadsworth, and part of it is in the Demon King's Palace.
As for the other body parts of the Evil God, Qin Chu's attitude was that it would be best if he could find them, but it wouldn't matter at all if he couldn't.
Even if Qin Chu didn't actively search for it, news of the Evil God's Remnant Body would eventually reach Qin Chu ears through various channels.
Is this a coincidence?
There's a feeling that some mysterious force is secretly manipulating everything. I hope Qin Chu can collect all the bodies of the Evil God as soon as possible.
The Pride Witch once said that Fate had already secretly arranged everything.
Perhaps, this is what is meant by the Destiny's Shackles.
Fate may not have the power to arrange the future of all living beings, but for certain special beings, it has certainly paved the way, just like Qin Chu, Saya, the Pride Witch, and perhaps even the Daughter of Death is bound by heavy chains.
This is precisely what Little Saya are most worried about.
That was, after all, the Evil God's Remnant Body; even just some of its blood could drive a powerhouse of Wadsworth's caliber insane. Once Qin Chu had gathered all the remains together, no one could predict what would happen.
Mysterious Fate, invisible threads, entangled shackles... No one knows what Fate's purpose is, and for Qin Chu, it may not be a good thing.
Ileta only learned these things through her conversation with Little Saya. Seeing Qin Chu's furrowed brows, she felt a little apologetic. "I'm sorry, I thought you would be happy to bring this news, but now it seems to be a problem."
Seeing Ileta's somewhat annoyed expression, Qin Chu smiled and shook his head, "Ileta, you don't need to blame yourself, it's not your fault."
"If this is truly Fate, then even without you, someone else would have passed this message to me, and my journey to the Ice Grand Duchy to search for the remnants of the Evil God might have become an unavoidable situation."
After a brief pause, Qin Chu spoke again, "Moreover, this gives me an opportunity to glimpse where the Destiny's Shackles truly lie."
"So what are you planning to do? Are you going to search for the Evil God's Torso?" Big Saya asked.
Qin Chu shook his head again. "No..."
The remnant of the Evil God was not essential to him; he had enough patience to wait and observe where the Destiny's Shackles truly lay.
Qin Chu turned his gaze to Ileta: "By the way, how are you feeling?"
Ileta smiled gently, "It's alright."
"Although the death energy is still gathering, it won't have a significant impact in the short term. The previous cleansing has allowed me to be free from worrying about the death energy on my body affecting others for at least several decades."
The Daughter of Death is a woman with very few needs.
For Ileta, the sensation was indeed a wonderful experience, but it wouldn't make Ileta addicted, as Ileta had other, more important and troublesome tasks to shoulder.
Of course, one wouldn't refuse to enjoy Ileta occasionally.
A hint of allure appeared in her dark eyes as she glanced at Qin Chu: "Does Mr. Qin intend to help me clear away the death energy again? I have no problem with it, but I'm afraid the two Saya sisters might not be able to accept it; they might get jealous."
Qin Chu was somewhat speechless. He genuinely just asked out of genuine concern; who knew what was going on with Ileta that would lead her to this?
"If I were going to get angry over something like this, I would have died of anger long ago." Big Saya glared at Qin Chu with annoyance. Given his personality, some things were unavoidable with so many girls around him.
Big Saya knew everything about the relationship between Ileta and Qin Chu. Compared to the other girls around Qin Chu, Ileta, who only showed up occasionally, was not considered a threat at all.
Yawning, Big Saya seemed a little sleepy too. "I'm going to sleep now, you guys should get some rest too."
Antia and Violet smiled and turned to leave; it wasn't their turn yet.
It was obvious that these girls had reserved Qin Chu for Ileta, who rarely showed up.
Little Saya's expression was somewhat strange; she seemed surprised that her other self, along with Antia and Violet, would be so generous. Wouldn't these girls be jealous?
Watching helplessly as Qin Chu and Ileta went upstairs... Seriously, when exactly did Qin Chu eat Ileta too? Wasn't he a little too fast?
Is this guy a professional Witch actor?
Putting aside Little Saya's strangeness for the moment, only Qin Chu and Ileta remained in the bedroom upstairs, and no one would be so tactless as to disturb them at this time.
Ileta wore a faint smile; she wasn't shy about this. Her lotus-root-like arms encircled Qin Chu's neck, her smooth body pressed against Qin Chu chest, and her fair lips gently kissed Qin Chu face and mouth.
The slow, gentle movements were gradually igniting the fire in Qin Chu's chest.
Just when Ileta felt it was about time, she tried to take off her long dress and black stockings, but Qin Chu stopped her.
As the woman Qin Chu had ever seen who looked best in stockings, she would lose some of her allure without them. Since it was a rare opportunity to enjoy herself, she naturally wanted it to be perfect, right?
Ileta gave Qin Chu a charming sidelong glance, clearly already aware of Qin Chu plans, but still showed absolute tolerance for Qin Chu somewhat perverse hobby. Her slender waist began to press down, creating a graceful curve between her chest, waist, and hips, and her black skirt fluttered gently.
Before long, melodious sounds, not too suppressed, began to echo in the room.
When the Radiance of Holy Light, the deathly aura that had accumulated over the past few days was swept away once again.
It feels pretty good to have the death energy cleared away.
Even Ileta's usually pale face flushed slightly.
Her slender fingers gently caressed Qin Chu's cheek. Looking at the sleeping man beside her, Ileta's face revealed a slight smile. For a woman whose face rarely showed any expression, this smile was like a fleeting, beautiful bloom.
The warmth from the Holy Light still lingered in my lower abdomen, spreading in circles throughout my entire body.
After a long while, Ileta gently kissed Qin Chu's cheek.
This is her only man, and her only love.
She also hopes that she can be a strong support for her lover, just like Little Saya.
Gradually, the smile on Ileta's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
Her dark eyes even turned somewhat fierce, but this fierceness was not directed at Qin Chu, but at another being whom even Ileta herself did not know.
The clues to the Evil God's Remnant Body... Looking back now, it seems that my discovery of the Evil God's Remnant Body was full of coincidences!
