Chapter 481: You Are Surrounded By Me
Surprised? Unexpected? Thrilling?
At this instant, the entire world seemed to fall into a strange, deathly silence. Not a single sound remained. Even the Sixth Princess Lilina stood foolishly stunned on the spot.
At this moment, Lilina even suspected if there was something wrong with her eyes, if she had mistaken the person.
This is Qin Chu, right?
The Hero, right?
Why would Qin Chu appear here? How did he know I was here? Where did he get the nerve to appear here?
Countless thoughts instantly flooded the Sixth Princess Lilina’s mind… Even though Lilina wasn’t stupid and her mind was quite flexible, her brain momentarily crashed due to the overwhelming influx of chaotic ideas.
Lilina thought her actions were extremely secretive, that hardly anyone would know. Before these Demon Beasts were summoned here, they didn’t even know her location. Moreover, the Hero’s strength was indeed severely depleted.
When Rockwell “assassinated” the Hero earlier, Lilina had also sensed the Hero’s strength through certain channels.
At that time, the Hero was barely different from an ordinary person; his internal magic power and battle qi were almost completely gone.
From daytime until now was only half a day. Even if the Hero’s strength recovered a little, how much could it recover? This kind of power depletion recovered very slowly. Without ten days, half a month, or even half a year to a year, it might be impossible to return to the strongest state.
A mere half-day could basically be ignored.
Looking at the expression on Qin Chu’s face, there was no doubt this guy knew her identity. Knowing full well that so many powerful Demon Beasts were hidden here, he still dared to come knocking? Could it be this Hero was simply seeking death?
Besides seeking death, Lilina couldn’t think of any other possibility that would make the Hero act this way for a moment. Or perhaps, this so-called Hero was purely an idiot.
Although Lilina’s mind was chaotic, she remained relatively calm. But the other Demon Beasts didn’t care that much. Seeing the Hero suddenly appear before them, after a brief moment of shock, twisted, excited smiles quickly spread across their faces.
Their walnut-sized brains simply couldn’t process too many things. Their hearts were filled with excitement and ecstasy. The Hero actually came to deliver himself to death, saving them the effort of even finding him. This was absolutely the best opportunity to kill the Hero.
Although the Demon King’s throne was now out of reach for them, the Demon Beast who killed the Hero first in front of Her Highness Lilina would naturally be more valued.
Greed had quickly blinded what little reason they possessed.
Finally, a Tentacle-type Demon Beast, seemingly named Miso, who was already behind Lilina and closest, could no longer hold back. A suppressed roar instantly erupted from his throat. His arms spread open, instantly transforming into numerous twisted snakes, their sharp tips writhing wantonly in mid-air like sharp javelins, stabbing directly towards the Hero’s chest.
Tchi tchi tchi…
The speed of the writhing tentacles was even more terrifying than arrows. They reached Qin Chu in almost the blink of an eye, while this so-called Hero stood quietly in place from beginning to end, motionless.
Even the smile on his face didn’t fade, as if he had been scared silly by the ultra-fast attack.
This kind of trash is worthy of being the Hero?
Humanity has truly fallen into ugly decline. The summoned Heroes are getting worse with each generation.
Miso became increasingly smug, not thinking for a moment that his attack would miss. He would take the Hero’s life.
Just the glory of successfully killing the Hero was enough to ensure him an almost lofty status among Demon Beasts.
Miso put in more strength. The other Demon Beasts, seeing Miso’s actions, quickly reacted. It was almost a purely instinctive reaction. In an instant, countless figures lunged towards Qin Chu almost simultaneously, all wanting to snatch Qin Chu’s head.
Just as those tentacles were about to pierce Qin Chu’s heart, a sudden change occurred.
A bright light fell straight down from the sky like a meteor.
Its speed leaped forward through the air like teleportation. In less than a fraction of a second, the crimson light appeared above the head of the Tentacle-type Demon Beast Miso.
The next instant.
With a pu sound.
The light instantly pierced through Miso’s head from top to bottom.
The speed was simply too fast. Even a Demon Beast over level 80, let alone the Sixth Princess Lilina and Demon General Kolkraff, had absolutely no time to react in the slightest.
The entire scene instantly fell deathly silent again, without a single sound.
An invisible fear gradually emerged in the hearts of the numerous Demon Beasts. Even those who were originally rushing towards Qin Chu subconsciously stopped in their tracks, motionless.
The tentacles extending from Miso, about to pierce Qin Chu’s heart, had almost touched Qin Chu’s clothes. Just a few more centimeters, and they could have opened a bloody hole in Qin Chu’s chest.
But, these few centimeters became an insurmountable chasm.
The tentacles suddenly lost their strength, slumping to the ground, like dead but not stiff snakes still slowly writhing their long, round bodies.
Pairs of eyes turned slowly, as if rusted, towards Miso’s direction.
This powerful Demon Beast stood on the ground with widened eyes, completely motionless. In those eyes, the excitement of killing the Hero and seizing the greatest merit and glory had already transformed into dazed fear and despair. His body seemed nailed to the ground… No, not seemed, it was truly nailed to the ground.
A dark red long spear had directly pierced through Miso’s entire body from head to toe, pinning Miso firmly to the ground.
The scorching energy emanating from the long spear had already cooked, dried, and shattered Miso’s entire body in an instant.
A few seconds later, Miso’s body, like a weathered sand sculpture, gradually disintegrated into fine dust and dissipated.
Hiss…
This scene made countless Demon Beasts gasp collectively.
Killing a Demon Beast over level 80 wasn’t terrifying. What was terrifying was this bizarre method. Even more terrifying was that they didn’t even know who the killer was or where the attack came from.
They subconsciously wondered, if that sneak attack just now had targeted them, would they have had a chance to dodge?
Then, they quickly concluded: no chance.
Turning into fine dust like Miso was the only outcome.
Shua!
Instantly, the dozen or so Demon Beasts that had rushed out immediately retreated. Behind Lilina, a large number of Demon Beasts also subconsciously moved closer.
Although for Demon Beasts, this seemed like a very disgraceful act, at this moment, they truly felt that only by huddling together would the sense of fear slightly diminish.
Lilina felt her throat go dry. That long spear was right beside her. The moment the spear fell, Lilina sensed it, but her body felt completely suppressed by some indescribable will, trapped, unable to move at all. She could only watch helplessly as the spear pierced through Miso’s body.
Forget the other Demon Beasts; even she, the Sixth Princess, couldn’t have dodged that attack.
Only then did two figures slowly descend from the sky.
Their figures were starkly contrasting. One was three meters tall; if not for her perfect face, she seemed closer to a Demon Beast than a human.
The other was petite and exquisite, with dark red chains seemingly burning with flames wrapped around her body.
Violet, Anthea.
Completely ignoring the threat posed by the numerous surrounding Demon Beasts, Anthea quietly walked towards the long spear beside Lilina. Undoubtedly, this was her handiwork.
Her slender fingers grasped the spear shaft. With a slight exertion of force, the long spear was pulled out directly by Anthea. Without even glancing at Lilina, she returned directly to Qin Chu’s side.
Utterly contemptuous, that was her attitude.
This scene made countless Demon Beasts widen their eyes.
When Rockwell assassinated the Hero earlier, the three women who primarily fought the Ogre were precisely these two plus the Crimson Valkyrie.
Although these two women’s strength was decent, in the eyes of these Demon Beasts, they were inferior even to Rockwell, not worth paying attention to… But now, looking at this strength, killing Rockwell probably wouldn’t even require a second move.
Qin Chu still wore a gentle smile, his expression barely changing: “I have some bad news for you. You two hundred-plus Demon Beasts are surrounded by the three of us.”
A slight commotion arose in the hall. Although Anthea had displayed strength far greater than before, the Hero’s arrogance still greatly displeased the numerous Demon Beasts.
No matter what, there were still over two hundred Demon Beasts on their side, with dozens above level 80. Just three people wanted to surround all of them?
Wasn’t this Hero being too arrogant?
Lilina’s expression also gradually darkened. She quickly figured out what was going on. Rockwell’s assassination was simply a farce performed by the Hero for these Demon Beasts.
This Hero wasn’t afraid of Demon Beast assassinations at all. On the contrary, he even hoped more powerful Demon Beasts would try to assassinate him.
Could it be this guy is using himself as bait, attempting to catch all the experts among the Demon Beasts in one net? And my side actually fell for it foolishly? Damn it.
“Your Highness Lilina, could you please tell me where your other brothers and sisters, the Abyss Heavenly Kings, and Demon Beasts are?” Qin Chu still maintained his elegant posture, showing no sign of the tense atmosphere.
Lilina’s gaze drifted slightly backward. The situation had changed.
The strength of the women around Qin Chu was far greater than she had calculated. The strength Anthea displayed had completely surpassed Kolkraff; no one on her side could handle her.
But the number of experts on her side still held an absolute advantage. A real fight wouldn’t necessarily result in a loss.
These Demon Beasts were just frightened by the scene of Anthea’s entrance. Once the Demon Beasts’ ferocity was unleashed, the situation would be instantly reversed.
Thinking of this, Lilina’s mood improved slightly. A disdainful smile even appeared on her charming face: “Your Excellency Hero, do you think I will cooperate so obediently?”
“I admit, we miscalculated slightly… but the final outcome cannot be changed. Today, you still have to die here.”
“Is that so.” Qin Chu wasn’t angry, just nodded slightly. He wanted to find out the hidden locations of other Demon Beasts through Lilina’s mouth, but this information wasn’t essential.
Moreover, these two hundred-plus Demon Beasts were already surrounded by the three of them. Not only did they not surrender, but they seemed to want to resist?
Keep them around for the New Year instead of killing them?
“Anthea, Violet, finish them.”
Qin Chu’s reaction shocked Lilina. She hadn’t expected this Hero to have absolutely no intention of normal negotiation, attacking just like that.
The instant Qin Chu’s voice fell, Anthea and Violet moved almost simultaneously.
With a hu sound, the long spear Anthea had just retrieved was raised high. The next instant, it stabbed directly into the ground before her.
Instantly, crimson flames began to churn around Anthea’s body. A translucent, fiery red shield appeared directly, completely enveloping the villa.
This entire area had completely become Anthea’s domain.
Violet’s figure soared into the air, surrounded by raging storms. Her hands clasped, knuckles cracking.
Immediately after, a terrifying hurricane visible to the naked eye swept down directly from the sky. The villa below, walls, glass, windows, furniture inside, took flight.
The sturdy walls were forcefully torn apart by the violent tornado. The roof was directly carried away. Even numerous Demon Beasts inside the villa who couldn’t react in time were affected by the storm. Some stumbled and fell under the push of the wind pressure.
Some were even thrown directly into the air by the gale. The raging whirlwind acted like sharp knives, madly cutting amidst piercing shrieks.
It was a scene like death by a thousand cuts. Instantly, a crimson blood mist even filled the air overhead.
Shrill screams mixed together, becoming exceptionally terrifying. When the screams finally stopped abruptly, the storm finally subsided. The original location of the villa had become completely clean.
Around the villa, numerous terrified Demon Beasts were scattered.
These were all above level 80.
As for the others, they were falling from the sky: fine pieces of flesh, raining blood. Not even a single complete part could be pieced together.
With that one move just now, the number of over two hundred Demon Beasts was directly reduced by more than half. All Demon Beasts below level 80 were already dead.
Huu…
Qin Chu let out a long breath.
A pleased smile spread across his face.
The slaughter created by Violet was also reflected in Qin Chu. The Death Divinity gained substantial growth at this moment. This was a rather good result.
And the real slaughter had only just begun.
Just as the storm subsided and the numerous Demon Beasts were shocked by the strength Violet displayed, Anthea’s attacks followed closely.
The chains on her body danced violently, like the most terrifying giant pythons, winding through the air and across the ground.
Pu pu pu…
One Demon Beast after another was pierced straight through the chest, their bodies instantly penetrated.
Accompanied by shrill screams, the chains directly flung the Demon Beasts’ bodies into the air. With a gentle shake, the corpses instantly disintegrated.
Blood began to pool on the ground, already turning into a muddy swamp.
