Rossweisse and the Mysterious Woman
It was as if some invisible thread was guiding... no, even pulling me, towards that endless glacier.
Whoever it was, the fact that they were using her was enough to Wrath Ileta... What Wrath Ileta even more was that the other party might very well be using her to harm Qin Chu!
The next day, when Qin Chu woke up, the Daughter of Death was no longer by his side; Ileta had left sometime earlier.
Qin Chu was already used to this situation.
Of all the Witch who inherited Divine Authority, Ileta was definitely the one who had the hardest time.
Every day, countless lives die on the Skyvault Continent, especially during the current war between humans and demons. These dead souls need to be purified and cleansed by Ileta, who has almost no holidays and is busy every day.
Even the tender moments with Qin Chu, like last night, were fleeting and brief.
When Qin Chu came downstairs, he saw that Heloise and Ieta seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.
The two left last night, but before leaving, since Qin Chu was not at the palace, they informed Saya.
Within the palace, people could come and go freely. Qin Chu had not set up any obstacles here. Even though Heloise and Ieta were Magic Creature, they could enter freely. However, Ieta always kept her bloodline in mind and would never do anything that might arouse suspicion, even if Qin Chu did not ask her to.
In this respect, Ieta was more self-aware than anyone else.
Moreover, Qin Chu could tell that the two women hadn't slept all night and seemed to have been waiting for him to appear.
As expected, upon hearing footsteps and noticing Qin Chu's movements, Ieta and Heloise sat up from the sofa almost simultaneously: 'Master, Heloise and I have some special information!'
Without the slightest hesitation, Ieta and Heloise told Qin Chu everything about their meeting with Vina and some of Atris's plans, betraying their own kind without any hesitation.
That's the Magic Creature; even members of the same race have almost no feelings for each other.
Ieta and Heloise will only do what is in their best interest; they don't want any factors to affect their currently quite satisfactory lives.
Qin Chu smiled as he listened to Ieta's voice.
There are many powerful Magic Creature among them. The Demon King Nag has so many children, seventeen Demon General under his command, and four Heavenly Kings, but now only the sixth princess Lilina and Korklaf have appeared. Where have all the other powerful monsters gone?
So they were all hiding outside the city. These guys were clearly more vigilant and cautious than Lilina and Korklaf. After all, even Magic Creature aren't all fools.
"Master, what should we do?" After saying this, Ieta looked cautiously at her master, seeking his instructions.
"It's alright, you can tell Atris all the information I have, including that I'm currently in a state of extreme weakness, and that I just resolved the issues with the Sixth Princess and Korklaf."
"There's no need to hide anything; just tell them what they want to know."
"Remember this: from this moment on, you two are spies planted by the Magic Creature beside the Hero."
One week later.
Ocean.
A small boat is drifting on the sea.
There were two figures on the small boat. One of them had long golden hair tied in pigtails, a petite figure, and a fair and lovely face. Only her arms looked slightly strange.
Instead of delicate, fair fingers, what appeared on her wrist was a sharp, claw-like knife.
The sharp blade was fused to the wrist in a very strange way, as if it had grown out of the wrist itself.
Her flat chest showed no movement whatsoever; there was no heartbeat, no breath... She was a corpse.
Aili, one of the thief twins.
When Rosweisse met Aili, she was already just a corpse.
Rosweisse retrieved Aili's body. Although it was damaged, it was still the corpse of an eighty-something-level Thief Saint, and therefore quite valuable. Rosweisse prayed to the Void once more, and she received a blessing from the Void once more.
Aili's corpse was transformed into its current form by the mysterious power of the Void, becoming the most loyal puppet by Rosweisse's side, one that would never betray her.
Rosweisse knew this was her last chance, and she absolutely could not afford to fail again.
If she fails again, she will be utterly abandoned by the Void.
Her goal was now completely clear: to take Qin Chu's life.
Of course, after experiencing her first failure, Rosweisse knew very well that it was almost impossible for her to kill Qin Chu with her current strength and methods. Therefore, Rosweisse could only temporarily focus her energy on another thing that she had to accomplish, which was... the resurrection of Lord Jello.
That damned bastard Qin Chu stole everything that was rightfully his.
The papacy that should have been hers was stolen by Qin Chu in a despicable manner. Through Qin Chu's machinations, her reputation was completely ruined, and she went from being a revered saint to a fallen Witch.
All of this filled Rosweisse's heart with Wrath, resentment, and Envy.
Rosweisse was able to receive all sorts of intelligence from Athena and knew about what had happened to Qin Chu recently. What Rosweisse found even more unbearable was that Qin Chu immediately began to exonerate Angelica after becoming Pope.
Angelica is no longer the sinner she once was; she has been completely exonerated.
That despicable Qin Chu even reappointed the Holy Church's saintess, that damned Shirley.
Despicable, despicable, despicable...
She herself is the only saint of the Holy Church.
What right does that little girl Shirley have to be a saint?
Could it be simply because Qin Chu sided with the Holy Church when Qin Chu held power?
Pah, shameless.
Whenever she thinks about these things, and about those despicable people she once looked down on and could only look up to, who are now living better lives than her, the Envy in her heart torments her.
The only thing that gave Rosweisse some comfort was that, since the Holy Church's failed coup, the resurrection of Jello Geralt had been progressing quite smoothly.
Now, only one Soul Fragment remains, Athena is searching for.
Meanwhile, the other materials needed to revive Jello have also been successfully obtained. Rosweisse has stayed in the Demonic Beast Territory for a long time and finally found the Resurrection Herb. Now, only one last thing is missing: the Mermaid Heart.
Gazing at the boundless ocean in the distance, Rosweisse knew that in the deepest part of this Endless Sea, Mermaid roamed!

Chapter 485 Rosweisse and the Mysterious Woman
(4,000 characters)
The Endless Sea is a forbidden zone for humankind.
No one knows the exact reason, but in all the coastal areas surrounding the Skyvault Continent, ships can only travel a maximum of 300 kilometers. Once they exceed this distance limit, they will immediately encounter layers of fog.
They either sink in the turbulent waves and become fish food, or they inexplicably turn back.
Even the most experienced sailor can silently lose their way in the Endless Sea.
For many years, countless experts have tried to uncover the true mysteries of the Endless Sea. Among them are powerful War God, invincible Title Knight, Grand Sage with boundless Magic Power, and the most outstanding adventurers.
But no matter who it is, they cannot break through the blockade of the Endless Sea.
The fog obscured everything.
Beneath that unfathomable surface of the sea, how many heroic souls lie buried?
No one knew; people only knew that this place was forbidden, a dead zone, a territory that mortals should not set foot in.
But even in such a dangerous place, Rossweisse resolutely stepped into it, willing to do anything to revive Gerald.
He was the only man she ever truly loved in her life.
As long as Lord Jello can reappear before her, even if it's the end of the world, even if everyone dies, Rosweisse won't care at all.
Even Rosweisse herself couldn't understand why she was so infatuated with Jello.
As a saintess of the Holy Church, Rosweisse is undoubtedly a woman of high rank and power; what kind of talented young men hasn't she seen?
As for those men, Rosweisse always just smiled and ignored them. No matter how handsome they were or how gentlemanly they pretended to be, Rosweisse could always see through their filth and depravity at a glance.
Only Jello...
Before preparing to summon the Hero on the Skyvault Continent, Rosweisse only planned to use the Hero's name to increase her influence and elevate her status.
Rosweisse never expected that she would fall completely in love the moment she saw Jello.
From that moment on, nothing else could capture Rosweisse's attention.
She could feel a mysterious aura emanating from Jello, drawing her in like a giant whirlpool, slowly pulling her deeper into its depths.
She could sense that there was something similar to herself in Jello.
Being by Jello's side, Rosweisse felt exceptionally safe and comfortable.
Just like my own brother... a biological brother.
Then, the family bond soured.
Regardless, Rosweisse knew that man was the only one in her life.
So she wants to resurrect Jello, even if the Endless Sea is full of danger, so what?
She not only wants to brave this Endless Sea, but she also wants to bring back the Mermaid Heart.
No matter what strange creatures lurked in this Endless Sea, nothing could stop Rosweisse's advance.
Rosweisse stepped out of the small boat's cabin, calmed herself down, and stood at the bow, gazing into the distance where she could already see traces of the mist.
The churning fog, like chaotic and tangled dark clouds, writhed on the distant sea.
It was as if a giant dome was covering the boundless ocean.
Laugh.
A dull thud came from the side, the sound of a sharp blade tearing through flesh.
Waves rippled around the small boat, and a crimson color spread across the sea. A hideous, half-human, half-fish monster had its throat torn open by Aili.
It was a strange creature; its torso looked somewhat similar to a human's.
They have the same body and limbs.
However, its body surface was a strange dark green, its skin looked like a frog's, covered in foul-smelling slime, it held a steel fork in its hands, and its head looked exactly like an ugly catfish, with two long whiskers sticking out from the corners of its mouth.
This is Fishman.
A monster that lives in the ocean...
Some people also call it Magic Creature.
Although they had no interaction with the Magic Creature army on land.
For fishermen who go out to sea, this is also the most common monster they encounter... They often attack humans living in coastal areas.
However, Rosweisse did not collect its heart.
Fishman are not Mermaid.
Legend has it that Mermaid are only female, and they are incredibly beautiful creatures with faces as perfect as a princess's, perfect figures, and exquisite, beautiful fish tails.
Their voices could sing the most beautiful songs, radiating a charm like that of Succubus.
The Mermaid's only habitat was the thick fog ahead.
The small boat continued its journey, and time passed second by second.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but as Rosweisse felt a sudden chill run through her body, the bow of the ship had entered an area of thick fog. As soon as she entered, she could immediately feel the oppressive atmosphere permeating the air.
It felt as if my body had become heavier.
Visibility was almost completely blocked, and the visibility immediately became extremely low, with only a few meters ahead visible.
Rosweisse knew all too well how dangerous this place was; one wrong step and she could be trapped in the thick fog, never to emerge again, not to mention the various terrifying and bizarre creatures that might lurk within.
But I don't regret it.
We're just one step away from reviving Jello Geralt.
The closer it got to this point, the stronger and more unbearable the impulse in Rosweisse's chest became.
Normally, Rosweisse would always let others do the work in dangerous situations, while she simply sat back and directed the operation, enjoying the fruits of victory.
But now she has to face this danger herself, since she no longer has the ability to command Athena and Ekaterina.
Rosweisse's strength has recovered to about 70-80%. Although it is not as powerful as when she crushed Augustus, she has already returned to her strongest state. Not to mention, it seems that her bloodline has been fully activated, and her strength is even stronger than the original Saintess. Even so, Rosweisse has to be careful in this fog.
She and Aili stood at the bow and stern of the ship, respectively, their powers fully unleashed as they carefully sensed their surroundings. She not only had to search for the Mermaid's trail but also guard against any possible terrifying attacks.
What made Rosweisse feel even more troubled and dangerous was that her perception was severely limited in the fog, only able to reach slightly further than what she could see.
