Chapter 483: The Evil God’s Remains Delivered to the Doorstep
Two slender figures darted under the soft moonlight, appearing like ghosts under the shroud of a slightly sinister aura.
With Heloise and Iyeta’s strength, few people in the current Imperial City could sense their movements.
A large number of Demon Beasts, due to Demon King Nagath’s command, infiltrated the human world attempting to assassinate the Hero… Unfortunately, this path was destined to be one-way. Numerous high-level Demon Beasts died in the Imperial City of the Auville Empire.
Of course, the human side wasn’t much better off either… Due to the previous internal conflict in the Holy See and the clashes between the royal family and the nobility, a large number of experts had also died.
Clearly, the war between humans and Demon Beasts hadn’t expanded, yet both sides had already begun to suffer huge losses.
Heloise and Iyeta’s speed increased. Before long, they had left the Imperial City and stopped in a forest outside the city.
The forest was dark and deserted.
But Iyeta and Heloise weren’t surprised by this situation. They just glanced around slightly. Faintly, they could sense an extremely weak aura lurking nearby.
Although she thought she was hiding quite well, she clearly didn’t know that Iyeta and Heloise’s strength had grown considerably since following Qin Chu, especially when Qin Chu devoured the Evil God’s heart, both of them had benefited greatly.
That person’s hiding couldn’t escape Iyeta and Heloise’s perception… However, Iyeta was inherently clever and cunning, and Heloise, though simple, was now much more mature than before. They didn’t rashly expose the other party’s disguise.
“We’re here. Come out,” Iyeta said in a deep voice.
Her crisp voice echoed around.
Besides Iyeta’s voice, there was no other sound.
Iyeta seemed to snort disdainfully: “If you don’t come out, I’m leaving.”
Seeing that Iyeta and Heloise seemed genuinely about to leave, the hidden presence finally couldn’t hold back. With a slight rustling sound, a figure dropped from the treetops.
The same wavy golden hair, the same crimson blood-red eyes, the same hot and sexy long white legs…
Even her face was nine-tenths similar to Iyeta’s, equally beautiful, equally charming, with the same captivating smile curving her lips: “Iyeta, long time no see.”
Iyeta’s eyes narrowed into slits, her gaze fixed on the approaching woman. After a few seconds, she suddenly let out a chuckle: “My dear sister, I really didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Her biological sister, Vina!
However, it was clear the relationship between the two sisters wasn’t very good. This was normal; Blood Elves were an extremely selfish race. It was difficult for true emotions, whether love or kinship, to arise within such a group.
Even blood relatives connected by bone and sinew, if some conflict of interest arose, a Blood Elf would absolutely not hesitate to push the other party directly into the abyss.
Vina and Iyeta before them were the same. As the two most outstanding and beautiful young girls in the entire Blood Elf race, Vina and Iyeta both faced the possibility of being sent by the clan to the First Prince’s side back then.
The First Demon Prince, the most likely successor to the next Demon King. Staying by Diabolique’s side would naturally bring great benefits, but similarly, the master-servant contract would place one’s life completely under Diabolique’s control, resulting in a complete loss of freedom.
For the naturally free-spirited Blood Elves, this was absolutely unbearable. At that time, Iyeta was still young. Under Vina’s manipulations, she was pushed into the fiery pit, spending decades without freedom. This was clearly not a good memory for Iyeta.
Seeing her biological sister again at this moment, she naturally wouldn’t have a pleasant expression.
Moreover, the two sides were now in a state of absolute hostility. She was the woman of the Hero Qin Chu, while Vina was a Demon Beast. Iyeta didn’t feel there was anything good to discuss between her and Vina.
Iyeta also didn’t quite understand why Vina would contact her so mysteriously.
“Don’t be so cold, Iyeta. We are biological sisters, after all,” Vina chuckled, covering her mouth.
Of course, Vina also knew very well that such words wouldn’t have much effect on her inherently selfish dear sister. When communicating with Blood Elves, nothing was more convenient than laying the benefits bare.
Between Blood Elves, there was no communication, only transactions.
“I’ll be direct. The First and Third Princes are dead, the Second Prince is missing, most likely dead too. The Blood Elf clan… ah, right, Miss Heloise, and your Snow Woman clan, have all pledged allegiance to Her Highness the First Princess.”
“Currently, among all Demon Beasts, Her Highness the First Princess Atrice is the most likely contender for the Demon King’s throne.”
Although the Blood Elf clan was greedy, they still possessed reason.
Although His Majesty the Demon King said anyone could compete, ultimately, the Demon King’s throne would definitely be chosen from His Majesty’s direct bloodline. As for the others, just listening was fine. Excessive greed would lead to not even knowing how one died in the end.
Vina explained the current situation in the Demon Beast Territory to Iyeta and Heloise. After listening, Iyeta shrugged: “I understand. It’s just that both the Snow Woman and Blood Elf clans have placed their bets on Atrice. What does this have to do with us?”
“Simple. To ascend the Demon King’s throne requires sufficient merit, and the Hero’s head is naturally the greatest merit. Her Highness Atrice hopes you can use the opportunity of being by the Hero’s side to provide us with intelligence about the Hero. This should be a very simple matter for you, right?” Vina said with a slight smile.
Heloise’s eyes instantly narrowed into slits. If it were before, Heloise would definitely shake her head and refuse immediately.
But the current Heloise was different from the previous Snow Woman. She had matured a lot. Although she felt contempt inwardly, Heloise didn’t show her true thoughts.
As for Iyeta, her face was full of mockery. Now that you need us, you finally remember us?
Where were you before? Didn’t see you trying to rescue your sisters. Truly worthy of being Demon Beasts.
“What benefits do we get?”
“After the matter is settled and the Hero is eliminated, Her Highness Atrice guarantees she will destroy the rings controlling you two. From then on, you and Heloise can regain your freedom and no longer be enslaved by the Hero. How about it, a very worthwhile deal, isn’t it?” Vina said smugly.
In Vina’s view, Heloise and Iyeta, being Demon Beasts by the Hero’s side, must suffer much ridicule, humiliation, and torment.
Demon Beasts could never gain the true trust of humans, and the Hero could never gain the true loyalty of Demon Beasts.
These two women must be desperately wanting to escape the Hero’s control. Now, with such a good opportunity before them, there was absolutely no way they could refuse.
As long as these two women could provide the Hero’s whereabouts to her side at any time, then with advance preparation, killing the Hero would definitely not be difficult.
Once the Hero’s corpse was obtained, Her Highness Atrice would be the next Demon King.
The Snow Woman and Blood Elf clans would naturally gain substantial benefits as well.
Heloise and Iyeta, the two stunningly beautiful women, looked at each other, both seeing the strangeness in the other’s eyes… Enslaved?
Well, nominally, yes.
Qin Chu was their master; they were just Qin Chu’s slaves.
But they had no dissatisfaction with their current lives. Qin Chu was definitely not Diabolique; he never tormented them… Moreover, because of Qin Chu’s strength and identity as the Hero, even though they were just Demon Beasts, they could still gain respect. No one in the Imperial City dared to be impolite to them. Even proud nobles and Holy See members had to be courteous when seeing them.
Every day, they had comfortable large rooms, soft beds to rest on, delicious food handmade by Angelica, and every few days, they could receive the master’s favor… Their current little days were actually quite leisurely.
Return to the Demon Beast Territory, live in tree hollows, caves, smell the foul, dirty air, eat half-raw food? As Demon Beasts once captured by the Hero, they would inevitably be humiliated and bullied by other Demon Beasts…
They weren’t fools. Comparing the two situations, they really couldn’t find any motivation to return to live in the Demon Beast Territory.
Moreover, a Demon Beast’s guarantee?
That was less valuable than a scumbag saying “the woman I truly love is you.”
Even if the two sisters really helped Atrice kill Qin Chu, Her Highness the First Princess probably wouldn’t honestly follow the agreement and destroy the rings controlling them.
After all, they were also Demon Beasts; no one knew better than them what kind of creatures Demon Beasts were.
However, there was no need to rush to refuse either.
Although the master never said anything, Iyeta always felt that as maids by the master’s side, they should always make some contribution.
Thinking of this, a charming smile suddenly appeared on Iyeta’s face. Her bright, pretty face even made the bright moon in the sky lose its original color: “Sister Vina… I don’t mean to look down on Her Highness Atrice, but… the Hero really isn’t that easy to deal with.”
“You should know, the Hero once snatched the rings controlling us two from Diabolique’s hands. I don’t think Her Highness Atrice possesses the strength to eliminate the Hero…”
“Perhaps we can adopt other methods. For example… first incite other Demon Beast experts to attack the Hero, let the Hero fight with other Demon Beasts. When it’s finally time, Her Highness Atrice can step out to clean up. Wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone?”
Although Heloise was simple, she remained silent at this moment, just quietly watching Vina.
Vina was somewhat surprised that Iyeta was so agreeable, but she couldn’t find any fault with Iyeta’s words. After all, it seemed like the most suitable situation for the First Princess Atrice.
After all, that was the Hero. Although some intelligence suggested the Hero’s strength wasn’t as formidable as legends claimed, his reputation was still out there, and no one dared to underestimate him.
If they could let the Hero and other Demon Beasts fight until both sides were heavily injured, then Her Highness Atrice could reap the benefits, smoothly take the Hero’s head, and also clear out a wave of potential competitors.
No matter how one looked at it, this wave was destined to be a huge win.
…
Meanwhile.
Anthea’s barrier had disappeared.
Only countless fragmented corpses remained on the ground, even the Abyss Demon General Kolkraff was no exception. This huge Slime, after realizing it couldn’t escape, actually made a desperate gamble, attempting to swallow Qin Chu whole directly into its belly.
Unfortunately, although Kolkraff possessed the authority to devour everything, this authority was like a grandson meeting his grandfather before the Gluttony Divinity, utterly insignificant. Qin Chu easily ended its life.
Of the over two hundred powerful Demon Beasts, not a single one remained. More than half didn’t even leave behind fragmented corpses. Only muddy pools of blood remained on the site of the luxurious villa.
As for those Demon Beasts, Qin Chu didn’t choose to devour them either. There was no choice; his body still had the Evil God’s heart and the Evil God’s right leg undigested. These things alone would take several years. Where would Qin Chu find the time to absorb those weak Demon Beasts?
When Qin Chu, Anthea, and Violet returned to the residence, they were surprised to find another woman inside… Who else could it be but the Daughter of Death, Ireta, whom they hadn’t seen for a long time?
Opposite Ireta were the big and small Shayes.
The two women, identical without the slightest difference, both had tightly furrowed brows at this moment, clearly having heard some special news from Ireta.
Upon seeing Qin Chu appear, the expressions of the two became even more suppressed.
This appearance made Qin Chu inevitably curious. His suspicious gaze swept over the three women: “What’s wrong? Why do you all look so grim?”
After all, these were the Dark Witches.
Even if Big Shaye’s strength hadn’t fully recovered, she was still a powerful existence for whom a third opponent couldn’t be found in the entire Heavenly Continent. The current Big Shaye possessed combat power no less than Ireta and the Pride Witch Edrina.
He was very curious, what exactly had happened to make the two Shayes reveal such solemn expressions?
“It’s a clue about a part of the Evil God’s remains,” Ireta said quietly, her delicate brows also slightly furrowed.
Originally, Ireta didn’t think this was a problem. But after communicating with the two Dark Witches, Ireta could also sense something was wrong.
Ireta knew Qin Chu was collecting the Evil God’s remains.
After letting out a long breath, Ireta’s pale pink cherry lips slowly parted: “I haven’t changed much from usual, still wandering the Heavenly Continent, purifying the souls of the dead.”
“However, some time ago, I sensed a batch of extremely evil souls. Chasing these souls, I reached the deepest part of the ten-thousand-mile glacier far north of the Ice Duchy. The stronghold of those already twisted souls was beneath an unknown thickness of ice. And within that ice layer, a huge body part was sealed…”
“It was a torso, more majestic and vast than mountains, without limbs, without a head, and with its heart dug out.”
The torso.
Meaning, the largest piece among the Evil God’s remains divided into eight parts.
Ireta had actually found this piece and then informed Qin Chu about it.
Qin Chu’s heart first leaped with joy.
But, his brow quickly furrowed tightly.
He already understood what these three women were worried about.
This piece of the Evil God’s remains seemed to have been delivered right to his doorstep.
Could it be, this was the so-called trajectory of fate?
