You Want to Mess with Qin Chu? Did You Ask Me First?! (4)

Rosweisse felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and almost fainted. It was over; she'd fallen in too!

I'll write the next chapter right away. I'm out of drafts; I've used up all 50,000 words. My cold is getting better, so I need to start stockpiling drafts again.

Chapter 125 Want to mess with Qin Chu? Did you even ask me? (4)

In fact, Rosweisse had only glanced at Qin Chu subconsciously, but she already suspected that it was probably not Qin Chu who did it. After all, Augustus received a Message Magic and then immediately came over to question Karthus.

It's obvious that the message was delivered by that Message Magic.

However, Rosweisse never expected that Qin Chu would be so sensitive, reacting so strongly to just one glance from her.

We're doomed.

All the secrets could no longer be kept.

The Death Knight is probably really going to die.

As for Qin Chu, he seemed to realize his reaction was inappropriate as soon as he uttered those words, and quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late.

But Qin Chu was filled with excitement. It was finally Karthus's turn. On the way back, he had not only made plans for Athena, but also for Karthus's fate. Now it was time to pop the champagne.

He will make Karthus taste the same feeling he had when he was executed on the execution platform amidst cheers and jeers.

In some ways, Benson was the happiest one.

Because Benson's death was relatively quick; the others would have to endure several times, even dozens of times, more torment Benson.

In a Sanctum, everyone's expression changed, except for Violet, who maintained a smile throughout, watching the farce with amusement.

She didn't care about the Knight's death.

She didn't care at all whether Karthus lived or died.

She was like a detached spectator, enjoying a fairly well-acted opera... provided, of course, that the danger didn't spread to Qin Chu.

Ekaterina's face was also grim.

Athena stared wide-eyed, her face filled with shock.

Jello had warned her to be careful of Rosweisse... Although she trusted Jello implicitly, she still found it hard to believe that Rosweisse would be tainted by the power of Evil God and would slaughter Knight... After all, she was a saintess of the Holy Church; she didn't need to believe in Evil God to gain great power and a high status.

But seeing Qin Chu and Rosweisse's reactions now, he had no more doubts.

Rosweisse, the saintess of the Holy Church, and Karthus, the Death Knight, are indeed secretly worshipping Evil God.

They had been corrupted by evil forces, and in Athena's mind, Rosweisse had been labeled as untrustworthy... after all, this woman was completely black inside.

Rosweisse's previous liking, affection, and coquettishness towards Jello Geralt were very likely just a disguise.

If we were to ask who among all the members of the Hero's Party is most likely to be the traitor, Rosweisse would undoubtedly be the prime suspect.

Unconsciously, Athena trusted Qin Chu's previous performance even more, and had almost no more doubts.

Perhaps I should go see Jello again tonight, hoping he can offer me more guidance, just for the sake of guidance, nothing more...

Saint Monica, Zimmerman, Wadsworth, the three bigwigs, all looked somewhat shocked.

These shrewd people could tell from the reactions of Rosweisse and Qin Chu that Karthus was the Knight who killed 3,200 paladins, and that Rosweisse and Qin Chu were aware of this.

Judging from the Hero's words, it seemed that it was Rosweisse who asked Qin Chu not to tell anyone.

After all, Rosweisse was still a member of the Hero's Party and had a long-standing bond of camaraderie with Karthus. It was understandable that she couldn't bear to see Karthus executed.

Moreover, the members of the Hero's Party are centered around Rosweisse. Benson is dead, so it's understandable that Rosweisse wouldn't want to see her power diminish.

And our Hero, faced with a request from a beauty like Rosweisse, certainly couldn't refuse.

For a moment, all eyes were on Augustus, as if they wanted to see how he would handle the Augustus.

Augustus's face was extremely grim; he seemed very angry, and his lips were trembling.

The veins on the back of his hands bulged, and his eyes burned with Wrath.

Qin Chu was somewhat impressed with Augustus. The old man was probably overjoyed inside. After all, this incident not only dealt with Karthus, but also weakened Rosweisse's influence and strengthened Augustus's control over the Holy Church. It did almost no harm to Augustus.

"Your Excellency Death Knight, I was only suspicious of you at first. Remnants of dark power were found on the mutilated corpses in the Knight camp. Some people suspected that it was the work of Magic Creature, but Magic Creature do not possess darkness, but another kind of more evil and twisted power!" Augustus's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"Among humanity, you are the only one who wields the power of darkness."

Rosweisse was trembling. She had just realized this major oversight; she had only asked Karthus to clean up the pile of Knight heads that had formed an altar, but had forgotten to have Karthus clean up the camp.

If it weren't for this oversight, Augustus wouldn't have suspected Karthus, he wouldn't have unconsciously stared at Qin Chu, and Qin Chu wouldn't have been provoked to cry out...

One wrong move, and the whole game is lost!

She was extremely annoyed. It was all Qin Chu's fault. If Qin Chu hadn't appeared so early, startling her and throwing her into a panic, she wouldn't have left such a big loophole.

Since Qin Chu appeared, nothing good has happened to her... However, now is not the time to be upset. She must find a way to clear herself of any possible involvement and minimize the punishment she might receive.

As for Karthus, Rosweisse couldn't care less.

"The Knight from the border were originally heading to the Imperial City with evidence, but it seems we no longer need it."

His voice was long and sorrowful. "Karthus, do you know who you killed? They were Knight who had been stationed on the border for a long time, fighting against Magic Creature."

"They fought to protect the Skyvault Continent, but instead of dying at the hands of Magic Creature, they died at your hands."

"Can you imagine how confused and desperate they must have felt in their final moments?"

"You even cruelly severed their heads..." Augustus's eyes reddened; he seemed genuinely grieving the deaths of the Knight.

"A fallen one tainted by dark power is indeed untrustworthy; you are not worthy of being a member of the Hero's Party."

Augustus suddenly hardened his expression and said sternly, "The Fallen Karthus, what else do you have to say? Could you please cooperate with the Holy Church's investigation? Please remain in the Holy Church for the time being. If your innocence is confirmed, I will personally apologize to you."

Augustus polite throughout, but his words were aggressive!

Augustus didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move, but instead kept provoking and pushing Karthus, driving the Death Knight to the brink of collapse. This guy was doomed, but before that, he could still be of some use.

Karthus remained motionless... A gloomy aura emanated from him, black mist swirling around his hard metal armor like a venomous snake, and anyone could sense the ominousness emanating from him.

His body stood on the ground like a statue, only his head turned, his gaze sweeping over Rosweisse, Athena, Ekaterina, finally settling on Qin Chu.

His eyes were still filled with hatred, resentment, and bitterness.

The Hero Augustus just mentioned? It's all that bastard's fault. If that bastard had kept quiet just now, he might have had a chance to argue and refute, but now, it's all too late.

Even though he is Death Knight, it doesn't mean that Karthus wants to die.

Rather, having narrowly escaped death, Karthus understood better than anyone how terrifying death truly was.

He feared death, yet he reveled in bringing death to other lives, for it brought pleasure to his soul.

He didn't want to die; he wanted to live, and now the only hope for him to survive lay with... Qin Chu.

The Hero is far too important to the Skyvault Continent. As long as he can control Qin Chu as a hostage, even if Augustus, Saint Monica, Wadsworth, and Zimmerman are all present, they will have no choice but to let him leave.

Under Augustus's pressure, Karthus's mind raced with mad thoughts, and the dark flames in his eyes burned ever more intensely.

Rosweisse originally wanted Karthus to obey first, and then she would think of a way, such as arranging for someone to intercept and kill the Knight transporting the evidence, or getting Qin Chu to cooperate with her to fabricate another lie.

However, the oppressive aura emanating from Augustus grew stronger with each step he pressed forward.

It was as if countless sharp sword beams had already surrounded Karthus. Karthus was like a beast being targeted by an extremely terrifying monster. His beastly instincts made him feel the deadly danger, and his will to survive was constantly swelling.

Finally, just as Karthus Augustus's aura had pushed Karthus to his limit, and his will to survive had reached its peak, this powerful Death Knight finally made his move.

His legs suddenly bent, and the next second, there was a bang.

The exquisitely chosen floor tiles of the Sanctum shattered instantly, and Karthus's body, like a black meteor, hurtled towards Qin Chu at incredible speed. At such a tremendous speed, Karthus's body even left afterimages on the ground.

The distance was too close; he didn't have time to summon his warhorse and weapons.

However, for the Death Knight Karthus, even with just his bare hands, he could easily destroy one life after another.

A mere Second-Generation Hero is no match for me; killing him is as easy as killing a chicken.

Once I escape from here, I will definitely torture this piece of trash in the most cruel way.

Karthus's mind was filled with venomous thoughts, and in an instant, his right hand, curved like a sharp claw, was already stretched out in front of Qin Chu.

Just as Karsas was about to grab Qin Chu's neck with a few more centimeters of movement, a fair arm suddenly reached out from the side and snapped into Karthus's wrist.

Just like the spear that once tried to pierce through Qin Chu, the journey from extreme speed to stillness took only a brief moment.

Those fair and delicate hands possessed a strength that Karthus was completely unable to resist; his wrist was utterly immobilized.

His crimson gaze followed the pale arm, and a familiar face once again came into Karthus's view... Damn it, it's that bitch again, Violet.

Violet's face was no longer gentle; it was icy cold, her indifferent gaze fixed on Karthus.

"Trying to harm Qin Chu? Did you even ask me?"

Chapter Four is here; I'll start writing Chapter Five soon.

Chapter 126 The Death Knight is So Weak (5)

Violet stood tall and silent beside Qin Chu, her face icy cold.

He exuded an aura of unshakeable authority.

This was her only Achilles' heel. The Storm Temple had been destroyed, and even the Storm Lord she worshipped had fallen. In this world, the only person Violet cared about was Qin Chu, and she would not allow anyone to harm Qin Chu.

Let alone just a Death Knight Karthus, even if Saint Monica or Augustus personally intervened, Violet remained completely unafraid.

With a whoosh... black air currents surged all around.

Karthus's energy was forcibly dispersed by Violet's sudden obstruction, turning into a gust of wind that blew Violet's long hair, revealing a slender neck like a white swan, and his bluish-gray eyes were filled with killing intent.

A gurgling sound came from Karthus's throat. He was not good with words to begin with, and at this moment, he was too Wrath and resentful to utter a single word.

Violet.

It's that woman again.

The first time he wanted to kill Qin Chu, it was this damned woman who stopped him, causing him unprecedented humiliation. And now it's this same woman again.

Was she his nemesis or something?

That's not all. Karthus's broad and powerful body blocked Qin Chu's view, Augustus and the others could only see Karthus's back and couldn't see Qin Chu, who was being blocked.

But Karthus saw it.

That wretched bastard, the corners of his mouth were turned up, he was actually smiling at me?

He's provoking me!

Karthus was dull-witted, but easily provoked.

His tall body shuddered violently, dark red flames shooting from his eyes, and a suppressed, beast-like roar grew increasingly ferocious from his throat. His mind instantly lost its capacity for thought.

Killing Qin Chu has become his sole objective, and he has even forgotten his original goal of kidnapping Qin Chu as a hostage.

Karthus suddenly roared, and unable to break free from his right hand, he twisted his body forcefully, raising his right leg high and sweeping it horizontally towards Qin Chu's neck with a piercing whistling sound.

He was certain that if this kick landed, it would send Qin Chu's head flying; the fragile guy simply couldn't withstand his power.

In his Wrath, Karthus clearly forgot that Violet was standing next to Qin Chu. And Violet had another notable characteristic: she was three meters tall, and with that... she had long arms.

Violet's lips twitched slightly: Word of Truth Spell.

The next second, a halo of light, like the wind, shot out from his other wrist and snapped open, grabbing Karthus's ankle.

Karthus's eyelids twitched uncontrollably as he frantically channeled his dark-attribute Battle Qi. His entire body was like Demon King emerging from the darkness, his sinister aura churning violently, like a thick, eerie fog, within which only a pair of scarlet eyes stood out.

"Violet... you dare stop me? I'm Death Knight..."

Immediately afterwards, with a whoosh, Violet swung Karthus's entire body into the air with a slight exertion of her long arm, and then with a thud, Violet body was slammed heavily onto the floor of the Sanctum like a sandbag.

Crackle!

The heavy metal armor made intimate contact with the hard floor, the floor tiles shattered, and the Battle Qi on his body was instantly dispersed.

Before Karthus could even twitch, he was swung around again.

Whoosh... Clang... Whoosh... Clang...

With each swing, the floorboards were slammed down, the sound of them cracking echoing throughout the Sanctum. In a short time, almost no floorboards remained intact.

Qin Chu's expression became even stranger. He watched Violet as a rampaging female giant, repeatedly slamming the chick-like Karthus to the ground. He even had the illusion that the Hulk in the Avengers was smashing Loki.

Karthus is not Loki, but... his fate might be even more tragic Loki's; at least Loki was only thrown around a few times.

Violet was furious that Qin Chu dared to attack him.
