People Have Their Limits, but Heroes Don't
Unfortunately, Qin Chu was disappointed.
Cynthia quickly shook her head. "I am unaware of Moirai's plans."
"There are probably not many gods who know this either, "Moirai said, indicating that the plan could not be made public, otherwise it would be spied on, and she wasn't the only one who could see into Fate.
"However, because Moirai's prophecies have never been wrong, the gods still choose to believe in Moirai."
After a brief explanation, the Moon Goddess seemed to take a deep breath. "Alright, my time outside is almost up."
The Moon Goddess seemed to be preparing to turn back into Angelica's body, but she paused suddenly just as she was leaving. "By the way, Your Excellency the Hero."
"If possible, please restrain yourself a little. Doing too much will strain your kidneys... I mean your body."
One sentence was enough to make Qin Chu look extremely embarrassed.
Could it be that the Moon Goddess was watching all of my and Angelica's pleasure?
Who would have thought that the Moon Goddess had a voyeuristic tendency?
Ugh, that feeling is really awful; just thinking about it makes me a little ashamed.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "There are too many women. Even if I wanted to control them, these girls wouldn't allow it."
Under the moonlight, the figure of the Moon Goddess gradually faded away.
Finally, it transformed into a bright ray of light, streaking across the sky before disappearing back into Angelica's body.
The women then returned.
Angelica's face was still somewhat blank, as if she didn't understand what had happened to her. Only her innocent big eyes stared at Qin Chu, as if hoping to get an answer from her master.
"Don't worry, it's just a wisp of a deity temporarily residing in your body. She shouldn't do anything bad to you, but you can't be careless. If you sense anything unusual, you must tell me immediately, understand?" Qin Chu instructed.
Angelica nodded her little head vigorously, then went back to cooking with Heloise Ietta.
The matter here has temporarily come to an end, but a series of rustling sounds can be faintly heard coming from the surrounding woods.
At this very moment, a large number of Magic Creature were lurking in the surrounding jungle.
Among these Magic Creature are Ramon's fourth brother, McDonald; Ramon's fifth Nasa, Nassar; and Romon's sixth brother, Faulkner.
There is Ramon's second sister, Delna, and his fourth sister Eudora.
There is Jacqueline, the queen of the Demon King and the sister of the Minotaur chieftain.
Among the Four Heavenly King of Magic Creature are two of the Ape Clan, Rowell, Wolf, the Clan Chief of the Demon Wolf Clan.
The Seventeen Demon General and countless other masters also existed.
No one doubted that this was an extremely powerful force. Both Rowell and Wolf were level 90 or higher powerhouses, comparable in strength to Wadsworth, Augustus, and Saint Monica.
In addition to numerous other powerful monsters, even with Augustus already dead, the Holy See suffering heavy casualties, and almost all of the Great Sages of Sage Mountain gone, they could even raze the entire imperial city of the Orville Empire.
Even though the Hero was powerful and renowned, and even though Hero has it that he killed the Demonic Beast Grand Prince Daiaboliq, the second prince Edrich, and the third prince, no one still believed that the Hero survive when faced with such overwhelming power.
This is an absolutely overwhelming advantage.
Even a mere Hero appears utterly insignificant in the face of such power.
But strangely enough, not a single Magic Creature dared to make a move.
They were all on guard, not against the Hero, but against the other brothers and sisters around them; no one wanted to be the one to stick their neck out at this time.
Anyone can see that making the first move is definitely not a good thing.
Even if you manage to kill the Hero and obtain Hero corpse, your own power will be severely depleted, and you will inevitably be besieged by others, dying without even knowing how you died.
We are all Magic Creature, and we know perfectly well what choices Magic Creature will make in this situation.
Heavy breathing echoed through the jungle, and the stench, a mixture of so many Magic Creature, made it even more nauseating.
The sudden change at the Hero's camp was witnessed by many Magic Creature. No one knew what was going on, but their desire to kill the Hero as soon as possible grew stronger.
A strange, ominous feeling arose in the hearts of these Magic Creature; they were all worried that if this delay continued, some terrible problems might arise.
The air grew increasingly oppressive.
Besides their heavy breathing, even the Magic Creature's low, suppressed roars had vanished without a trace.
Amidst this oppressive atmosphere, the numerous Magic Creature finally made a decision: to temporarily set aside all barriers Magic Creature attack together. As for who would ultimately seize the Hero's corpse, that would depend on their own skills and luck.
Right after this agreement was reached, the pent-up emotions that had been building up in the hearts of these Magic Creature for so long finally exploded and were released.
Roar...
Filled with Wrath, furious roars echoed through the jungle, sweeping in from all directions like a raging tsunami.
The earth trembled, the silent night was torn apart, and the jungle became unusually noisy.
The violently churning demonic energy mingled together and rose into the air, like thick dark clouds obscuring the sky above.
Small pebbles were leaping rapidly on the ground, the campfire flickered restlessly, and sparks flew into the sky.
Qin Chu finally smiled. These Magic Creature had finally made their move. He had thought they were just a bunch of Magic Creature, as they hadn't made a sound for so long.
Before your eyes, you can see a ferocious giant ape running wildly through the jungle, its thick arms swinging wildly, shattering large trees as thick as bowls into pieces.
Then there were the even larger minotaur Troll, who crushed the ground like a raging bulldozer, turning all obstacles in their path, whether trees or boulders, into fragments in an instant.
The Demon Wolf's figure moved like lightning.
The Winged Folk spread his wings, his body appearing and disappearing amidst the swirling demonic energy.
The Magic Creature's attack has begun.
Strangely, the camp didn't seem to be greatly affected. Qin Chu simply smiled and sat quietly by the campfire, seemingly oblivious to the commotion around him.
Antasia, Angelica, Heloise, and Ieta were prepared for this situation, but their faces still turned pale when they saw a large number of powerful and tall Magic Creature swarming towards them.
However, upon seeing Qin Chu, she immediately felt relieved.
As long as the owner is here, there's nothing to worry about.
The Magic Creature drew closer, its roars blending together to create a deafening sound like thunder.
The stench swept over in waves, making the air even worse.
In the jungle, pairs of eyes, some scarlet and some dark green, gleamed with a ferocious and eerie light.
These Magic Creature all wanted to tear the Hero's body to pieces, all craving the glory of killing Hero... Compared to these ordinary Magic Creature, the Magic Creature princes, princesses, and Abyss Heavenly King like McDonald and Nasa were clearly thinking differently. In the eyes of these higher-ranking beings, the Hero was already a corpse; no one believed Hero had any chance of surviving such an attack. The real problem was how to obtain the Hero's corpse amidst such fierce competition.
Just then, Antia, who had been leaning against a large tree with her arms crossed, suddenly opened her eyes.
A cold glint flashed in his azure eyes.
A dark red spear appeared silently in his palm. With a flick of his finger, the spearhead tore through the air and pierced towards Qin Chu with a hiss.
The spearhead stopped abruptly when it was only half a meter away from Qin Chu.
As a spurt of dark red blood erupted, a figure finally emerged.
It was a short, shadowy Magic Creature with a bizarre and twisted appearance, like a withered and emaciated monkey.
Shadow Demon.
They are the most skilled at stealth assassination among all Magic Creature; they are natural-born assassins.
But at this moment, the powerful Shadow Demon was writhing in pain from being pierced through his body, making his already ugly face even more repulsive, and strange gurgling sounds kept coming from his throat.
This Magic Creature thought that Qin Chu and the women's attention was completely drawn to the large number of Magic Creature that had appeared around them, making this the perfect time to assassinate the Hero.
With his own strength, he would be almost certain to win if he made a move.
Unfortunately, the glory of slaying the Hero seemed to be slipping further and further away from him.
With a flick of her finger, Antia unleashed a burst of energy from the spearhead, instantly shattering the Shadow Demon's body into pieces.
The next instant, Antia's gaze shifted to the back, her beautiful eyes even turning somewhat fierce. Her pink tongue lightly swept across her soft cherry lips, and a slightly strange smile appeared on her face.
The time has come to unleash a massacre...
"Die..."
In Antia's eyes, there was only the most powerful enemy.
Rowell, the Abyss Heavenly King, appeared beside the four Magic Creature princes.
With a delicate shout, the spear flew out of her hand in an instant, like a dragon emerging from the ground, carrying a sharp, knife-like force, and rushing forward like a tornado skimming the ground.
As for Qin Chu, he finally stood up. To be honest, he was still nominally in a state of exhaustion.
Finished 8,000 words today.
Chapter 496 Humans have limits, but Hero do not (4,000 words)
A large number of Magic Creature completely tore off their disguises, revealing their ugly true forms. Apart from the Phantom Demon, most Magic Creature can only unleash their full power in their true forms.
Buzz!
The spear that Antia threw was wreathed in dark red flames.
The spear was incredibly fast; it seemed as if a raging tornado covered its surface as it spiraled forward.
Antia's only target was Rowell; there was no way around it, given how enormous he was, and how he was also the strongest among all the Magic Creature.
The spear was as long as a dragon.
Puff puff puff puff...
Strange noises continued to occur.
A large number of Magic Creature were mixed in between Antia and Rowell. Just as the spear whistled past, these strange and terrifying Magic Creature were directly swept into the swirling wind on the spear.
Smaller Magic Creature were torn to shreds.
The larger Magic Creature's body was pierced through, leaving a bloody hole.
The spear's speed never decreased in the slightest; in fact, it became faster and faster.
Even Rowell, the Abyss Heavenly King, would not dare to underestimate that spear. He cursed his bad luck inwardly. Of all the Magic Creature, why did this strongest woman beside the Hero have to target him?
However, no matter what, Rowell's bloodline Rampaging Giant Ape cannot be changed. Although he is relatively more composed, Rowell will never run away from an attack that is directly aimed at him.
He clenched his large fists and pounded them against his chest, producing a series of sounds like drumming.
The next instant, he stretched out his right hand, attempting to grab the spear.
Rowell was extremely confident in his abilities, and even when facing a powerful woman like Antia, he didn't think he would lose.
To Rowell, the dark red spear was as insignificant as a toothpick, not worth mentioning at all, and he simply grabbed it in the palm of his hand.
With a hissing sound.
A cloud of blood burst open on the back of Rowell's hand, turning his hair a deep crimson.
His large pupils suddenly contracted; this injury was nothing to Rowell, and the stinging sensation was completely negligible.
But, when facing a human being, and a woman at that, he actually got injured.
This was something Rowell could not tolerate at all; to the raging giant ape, it was nothing short of an insult.
Roar...
Wrath roar escaped his throat, and Rowell's face grew even more ferocious.
Just as she was about to launch a counterattack, Antia snapped her two slender fingers with a crisp snap.
The next instant, the dark red spear embedded in Rowell's palm exploded like a time bomb.
With a soft "plop," the tiny wound on his palm was instantly torn open, his entire hand almost split in two, looking quite gruesome with its blood gushing out.
Red chunks of meat, white tendons, and bones were all exposed.
Hiss...
The intense pain made Rowell gasp.
But what I felt most was Wrath.
These cunning humans.
Rowell's original mission was to protect the fourth prince and assist McDonald in obtaining Qin Chu's body. Unfortunately, while Rowell was strong, his temper was just too volatile.
He can barely maintain normalcy under normal circumstances, but once the anger in his chest is ignited, he becomes an unyielding bull that even the fourth prince cannot restrain.
