The Real Deal: A Stunning Beauty (2) / The Witch's Invitation

He Wrath, he was sad, his heart was bleeding.

Benson's death... was all because of Qin Chu.

Whoever killed Benson, the culprit was the Second-Generation Hero Qin Chu. If this guy hadn't appeared on the Skyvault Continent, Benson wouldn't have had to rush back to the Imperial Capital or be intercepted by Magic Creature.

He couldn't blame Rosweisse, after all, Rosweisse was also trying to revive Jello, so he could only place all his hatred on Qin Chu.

Qin Chu... killed him.

Karthus roared, the dark red flames flickering, and the Bone Warhorse beneath him let out an uneasy neigh.

Achoo!

Meanwhile, Qin Chu had already moved far away from this area, sneezed.

Perhaps it's because there are just too many people who miss me.

This place is already located on the frontier, and the temperature is still very low in the early morning. The wind blows day and night, and the branches sway in the wind with a rustling sound.

At this moment, Qin Chu and Ekaterina had already entered the Storm Witch's territory. The raging winds seemed to be the Witch's mark, warning others not to approach.

There were no Magic Creature, no birds, and no beasts here. Apart from the raging storm, there was almost no other sound. It was as if it were a realm of death.

No enemies appeared, but Ekaterina's fighting instincts already made her feel somewhat suppressed. She subconsciously gripped the hilt of her sword, pressed her body close to Qin Chu, and looked around warily.

Qin Chu closed the control panel. Although his attributes had increased dramatically and his level had risen significantly, this still did not satisfy Qin Chu.

It was the same before; absorbing hundreds of Magic Creature only increased my level slightly.

At the time, Qin Chu thought it might be because those Magic Creature were too weak, but now that's Benson, a level 83 shield guard! Qin Chu thought he should gain more after devouring Benson, but it turned out to be just this little.

Although the attribute values seemed to have increased significantly, they were still far from meeting Qin Chu's goals.

"Shhhh..." Saya opened her small mouth and whistled, but couldn't make a sound. Her gaze quietly shifted to the other side, her eyes somewhat unfocused, wandering around aimlessly.

Antia, who was sitting on his shoulders, also turned her head to the side in a flash.

The goddess's hair on her wrist shimmered with a faint light.

The Little Sprout, entwined with Battle Origin and Magic Core within its body, swayed slightly...

Suddenly, Qin Chu felt a tickle in his ear, as if someone was whispering softly in his ear. He pressed two fingers against his ear, and the previously indistinct whisper became clear.

Angelica's crisp voice came directly to Qin Chu's ears.

Message Magic is a type of magic that can be used for long-distance communication, somewhat similar to a cell phone on Earth, but the signal is very weak and is often affected by various factors, especially in places where Magic Power is disordered.

"Master, I'm so glad you're alright. Angelica missed you so much..."

"By the way, I have an important piece of information to report, Master. Archmage Athena, a member of the Hero's Party, arrived in the Imperial Capital last night. With the consent of Wadsworth, Augustus, and Saint Monica, she will serve as your magic instructor."

"Athena has moved her belongings to the palace and is preparing to live here like Ekaterina. Although Athena is doing it very discreetly, I've discovered that she seems to be setting up the Eye of True Vision within the palace!"

The Eye of True Vision can be imagined as a camera on Earth, a kind of magic used for spying.

Unlike a camera, the content seen by the Eye of True Vision is not stored, but is directly displayed to the caster.

Ordinary magicians do not use this kind of magic lightly, especially not by setting up multiple Eye of True Vision at the same time, because this would cause the caster to see overlapping and confusing content, and might even cause the caster's consciousness to have strange illusions.

However, these shouldn't be a problem for Athena, an Archmage!

Looking back, he realized that he had probably been living under Athena's surveillance during his first playthrough as well. Athena could see everything he did, which only strengthened Qin Chu's resolve to get rid of Athena as soon as possible.

"She showed great interest in the hundreds of Magic Creature that Master had eliminated some time ago. As soon as the Eye of True Vision was set up, she immediately inquired about these things everywhere. She was also very curious about the relationship between Master and Ekaterina. She deliberately befriended everyone who had a lot of contact with Master, Nicholas, Maritis... and even the guards who often accompanied Master on his trips, including me, of course."

"She bought a large quantity of fine wine and drank with the guards responsible for the palace's security. In just one night, she had become familiar with everyone."

Qin Chu stood still, his eyes open, seemingly focused on the raging storm ahead. But the roar of the storm did not disturb Qin Chu's tranquility; all he could hear was Angelica's voice.

Qin Chu's emotions calmed down.

Athena is a very tolerant woman. This tolerance doesn't refer to her large breasts, although they are indeed very large, the largest among all the women Qin Chu knows, but that's not the point.

The key point is that Athena possesses a charming and languid temperament. Although she holds a high position and is extremely powerful, she is unconventional in her behavior and, coupled with her special affinity and tolerance, easily wins the favor of others.

In her first playthrough, Athena had a very wide circle of friends, ranging from royalty and high-ranking Holy See the papacy to commoners, slaves, and even peddlers. Athena knew people almost everywhere.

A vast and astonishing social circle has formed around Athena, in which princes, princesses, noble ladies, restaurant owners, bartenders, and drunkards could all become sources of information for Athena.

By now, Athena may have learned a great deal of information from the palace guards that could be very important to her.

This is indeed a formidable opponent. One can imagine that Qin Chu's future actions will become even more difficult. He must find a way to avoid the Eye of True Vision and all the guards, and even minimize contact with others to prevent Athena from discovering his secrets.

Angelica's voice came again. "Master, do you need me to find a way to get rid of those Eye of True Vision?"

"No need, I already told you to be careful." Qin Chu replied quietly, his voice not loud but with an inherent authority. "Athena is extremely powerful. If you destroy the Eye of True Vision, she will immediately notice. Don't be fooled by the lazy smile on Athena's face; when it's time to strike, she will be more ruthless than anyone else. She will mercilessly eliminate any obstacle."

"If you want me to break ties with the Hero's Party to avenge you, go ahead and do it. I'm probably no match for them right now..."

"Hmm... I know..."

Hearing Angelica's voice, which sounded both happy and somewhat reluctant, Qin Chu could almost picture her sticking out her tongue.

"Unless it's something really important, try not to contact me via messages. Athena is very sensitive to Magic Power fluctuations," Qin Chu reminded her again.

"I understand. Then, Master, please be careful."

Chapter 94 A True Beauty (2)

The message was interrupted.

Qin Chu stood still, staring straight ahead, without saying a word for several minutes.

He was making plans in his mind.

Dealing with Athena requires a completely different approach than dealing with Ekaterina, which presents a difficult problem.

Athena isn't brainless like Ekaterina... Hmm, that seems a bit unfair to Ekaterina. The Scarlet Valkyrie is all brawn and no brains... Well, that's not quite right either. Simple-minded and all brawn? That doesn't seem quite right either... Hmm, she should be honest... Yes, an honest person.

Ekaterina wasn't one for all those schemes. She wasn't stupid; she just tried to avoid thinking when others were plotting against her. Ekaterina wasn't a magician either, and she wasn't particularly sensitive to magic or potions.

But Athena was different.

The Love That Topples Cities will be detected the moment the user takes the first sip, and Athena will also be able to detect mental manipulation magic. She is intelligent and cunning, insidious and ruthless. Although she may seem like a soft and warm older sister, her cruelty is comparable to that of Rosweisse.

Even if he defeated Athena with overwhelming strength and planted a powerful curse on Athena that would cause her to explode and die if she disobeyed, this woman would still do everything in her power to get the message out, even if it meant her death.

If he wanted to get Athena to obey, it seemed that the only option was to obtain a fragment of the First-Generation Hero's Soul Fragment. If he could control one of these fragments, Athena would have no choice but to obey.

Because she couldn't accept the consequences of Jello's soul being crushed by Qin Chu.

No matter how much he thought about it, the final answer remained the same: the Storm Witch's territory was a place he had to explore.

Saya silently thanked Angelica, since it was Angelica's message that diverted Qin Chu's attention from why his level was increasing so slowly.

"Let's go, this way..."

Under Saya's earnest guidance, the group moved forward slowly.

After passing through the dense jungle, a breathtaking view suddenly appeared. Surrounded by the dense forest, there was a desert even larger than a typical city. There was no vegetation, no animals, only countless fine sand grains, forming a huge funnel shape.

Nine tornadoes, like giant pythons, connected the sky and the ground, whipping up yellow sand and twisting their massive bodies wildly in mid-air. Even from a great distance, one could feel the terrifying energy contained within the tornadoes.

Yellow sand filled the air, and through the hazy barrier of the sand, a tall castle could be glimpsed in the distance.

"That's the Storm Witch's residence over there." Saya popped out from behind Qin Chu, wrapped her arms around Qin Chu neck, and hung on Qin Chu back.

She wasn't happy sitting on Qin Chu's shoulders; she wanted a unique position, and she'd give that shoulder spot to Antia.

Saya's fair fingers pointed to the funnel-shaped depths below the nine tornadoes, and Saya voice was solemn and serious. "Look there..."

Following Saya's pale finger, Qin Chu fell silent. He stood there quietly looking at the Abyss -like depression, a paleness that even the yellow sand could not conceal.

White bones!

The number was countless, piled up like a mountain. There were human bones, wild animal bones, Magic Creature bones, and even some bones that Qin Chu couldn't name or know the origin of. Qin Chu felt a chill run down his spine, as if he himself would become one of those white bones.

A large number of bones were piled up together, forming a huge oval, with strange runes made of white bones in the center of the oval.

It was those runes that made Qin Chu frown.

He vaguely recognized these runes; it seemed like he'd seen them somewhere... Right, he'd seen them inside the Holy Church.

Next to the statue of the Holy Light Goddess of the Holy See, this strange pattern is painted on the statue of one of the seven auxiliary gods.

Qin Chu's hands unconsciously crossed in front of his chest. This was the Storm Witch's territory, how could it be related to the Holy Church? Witch and the Holy See have always been irreconcilable enemies.

For no apparent reason, Qin Chu suddenly shivered. He felt that he shouldn't have come here, as if he might have gotten himself into some trouble. However, the Soul Fragment of the First-Generation Hero was something Qin Chu absolutely needed to obtain.

This area also made Ekaterina feel very uncomfortable. Her palms were sweating, and an invisible oppression enveloped Ekaterina entire body. Ekaterina seemed to have a strange feeling that pairs of eyes were watching her from places she couldn't see. The wind blew her bright red ponytail behind her.

Ever since her master said he liked her look, Ekaterina has kept her single ponytail hairstyle.

On the other side, Antia had also emerged from Qin Chu's body. Her petite figure gripped a spear twice her own height. Antia was very strong. Although she wasn't as powerful as she was in her prime, she was by no means weak. However, this place made Antia feel somewhat uneasy.

What made Antia even stranger was that, along with her unease, she also felt a strange sense of familiarity.

After a long while, Qin Chu finally lowered his arms and took a step forward, choosing to approach the white bones in the depression in the center of the desert!

He was quite curious about the symbols formed from the bones.

Saya's figure floated in mid-air in front of Qin Chu, her arms outstretched, blocking Qin Chu's path:

"Hey, is this enough? You're not really going to go find the Storm Witch, are you? I remember telling you before that the relationships between Witch are terrible."

"Although I don't know why, even though we don't seem to have any real grudges or hatred towards each other, we always fight to the death whenever we meet."

"In my current state, if the Storm Witch discovers me, she will definitely attack, and that Witch will surely devour all the power I possess."

Saya kept nagging, clearly displeased with Qin Chu's desire to take a risk.

"That's really scary..."

Suddenly, a soft, gentle voice came from behind them.

In that instant, everyone's bodies stiffened. How could someone have gotten so close?

Like a gentle breeze, they wouldn't even notice the other party's presence unless the other party spoke first. Either the other party's strength far surpasses their own, or the other party possesses an extremely powerful ability to conceal their whereabouts, or both...

No one knew what had appeared behind them, but in this eerie place... Antia's expression suddenly became extremely serious. The next instant, she gripped the spear with one hand, twisted her waist, and spun around violently.

Black flames, like a long serpent, instantly coiled around the spear. With a hiss, just as the body turned backward, the spear flew out of the hand, its long shaft tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

With the support of an extremely terrifying force, the gun trembled violently, and the tip tore through the air, piercing backward at an incredible speed like a dark meteor.

Right behind him stood a woman with a stunningly beautiful figure.

Her long, silvery-white hair fluttered in the wind, and a faint smile played on her slightly upturned lips.

She is definitely a stunning beauty.

Don't get the wrong idea about the "big" here. Of course, it is indeed quite large, but the main point is about something else entirely.

Even Ekaterina was over 1.8 meters tall, seemed to become a dwarf next to this woman. The woman's height of nearly three meters seemed exaggerated, but this did not make her look bulky. On the contrary, her body was round and graceful.

Under the strong wind, her towering chest seemed to sway with the wind, her waist appeared exceptionally slender relative to her height, and her hips suddenly bulged out, the curves between her chest, waist and hips were exaggerated and perfect, although her excessive height looked a little strange, it also revealed a strange kind of sexiness.

Perhaps because of her height, her legs appeared exceptionally full, rounded, and long. Her towering stature naturally raised questions: what did she eat to grow so tall?

How did she manage to get close to him so silently?

Her silver hair and cyan skirt fluttered in the wind as if they had broken free of their restraints, revealing a section of her fair calves and bare, jade-like feet. Her entire body was suspended in mid-air, her rounded toes pointing naturally downwards.

A silver anklet adorned her jade-like anklet, its delicate tinkling echoing in the wind, lending the woman an ethereal and gentle air. A beauty mark at the corner of her eye added a touch of allure to her tall figure.

Her beauty and charisma were so striking that one might subconsciously overlook her unusually tall stature.

She smiled faintly, seemingly unaware that a spear wreathed in dark red flames was hurtling towards her chest like a shooting star tearing through the air.

Chapter 95 The Witch's Invitation

(Bonus chapter for votes)

Ekaterina was also preparing to act but was a beat too slow, finally noticed Antia's presence. For the first time, she realized that there was a woman of such great power beside her master, even stronger than herself.

Ekaterina felt her position was seriously threatened; this mysterious, petite, yet powerful woman would steal a large portion of her master's affection.
