Chapter 66
(One more update for each recommendation vote)
Benson is dead.
He lost his breath of life in extreme despair and pain.
His dark soul floated out from the corpse. The soul wanted to escape, but Qin Chu threw a cluster of flames and burned it to ashes.
Although Qin Chu wanted to let Benson watch while cleaning up Rossweisse, he didn't want to leave any hidden dangers, so it was better to die cleanly.
In this way, even if someone wanted to revive Benson, it would only be an empty shell!
He dispersed the earth thorns, and the broken body fell to the ground motionless.
Deep despair could still be seen on his face.
When Qin Chu read out the contents of the diary, this man should be very sad. The last words, especially the last sentence, the next one is Rossweisse, who directly pushed Benson into the bottomless abyss, making Benson experience extreme pain at the moment before his physical death.
However, in fact, Qin Chu would not attack Rossweisse so quickly.
After all, Rossweisse's identity is special. She is the saint of the Holy Church and seems to have some relationship with those beings in the void. Unlike Benson, who is alone, there is a very powerful force around her. It is not easy to attack Rossweisse.
Next, there are two real targets. One is the noble swordsman Ronald.
This person is very powerful, and the most important thing is to be cautious. If you get along for a long time, Ronald will inevitably find some problems.
However, this person is now in the territory of monsters. Let Roman handle Ronald's affairs.
As for the second one, it is the great magician Athena.
This person has extremely high magical attainments, stronger than Rossweisse, and no less than Natia.
The disguise of the panel, Saya, the existence of Antia, and his true strength. Although Qin Chu is very confident in his acting skills, there is still a risk that Athena will see through it.
Since Ronald is not convenient, let's start with the graceful and plump Athena.
You can't use the Love of the City to deal with Athena. Athena is a magic expert and has studied potion making. Ekaterina can't detect it, but Athena can definitely feel something is wrong.
The best way to deal with Athena is to use the soul fragments of the first generation of heroes.
While thinking in his heart, Qin Chu cleaned up the traces left by himself near Benson's body and eliminated all clues that could be used to investigate himself.
He also took off the storage ring on Benson's finger. After all, as a member of the Hero Team, he is still very rich. A quick look revealed that there were tens of millions of mana in it. Although it was not as exaggerated as Rossweisse, it was definitely a considerable amount.
In addition to mana, there were also Benson's spare armor, weapons, magic scrolls, and potions. The value of these things was definitely not small... But what really attracted Qin Chu was not these things but a box inside, which was carefully placed in the deepest part. It always felt like something extraordinary.
Qin Chu thought there might be some treasure inside. As soon as he opened the box, the expression on his face instantly became extremely strange.
Inside the box were some white fabrics... to be precise, silk fabrics...
White stockings? White skirt?
Qin Chu was startled and felt a chill in his body. Benson, a strong man with a full beard, actually had an interest in women's clothing? He imagined Benson wearing these clothes in his mind, and Qin Chu shuddered. The picture was really terrible.
The power was comparable to the pollution of the evil god.
But soon Qin Chu found that he seemed to have guessed wrong. These white stockings and white skirts did not seem to be prepared by Benson for himself. They were not suitable. The size was very tight. Benson would definitely explode if he wore them.
The most important thing was that some unique patterns of the Holy See could be seen on these fabrics. Qin Chu felt a little familiar.
After thinking for a few seconds, Qin Chu's forehead was full of black lines. This... this skirt, these stockings, aren't they the same as those worn by Rossweisse?
As a saint of the church, Rossweisse naturally has to be dignified. Like many nobles, she would never wear her clothes twice, even though they were all the same style. The ones she wore after she changed out were naturally thrown away.
Could Benson have picked up the stockings that the saint had thrown away?
Then he put them in a storage ring and kept them like offerings to gods, and occasionally took them out to remind people of her?
Wouldn't that be worse? If you are interested in women's clothes, that's your business, but you took Rossweisse's clothes home, which is a bit too much, right?
Glancing at Benson's body on the ground: Benson, you are very dishonest, and you deserve to die.
Benson's body had become dry, Qin Chu exhaled, and throwing these clothes on the body was also a way for Benson to remember him after he died. I am really a kind person.
I just don't know what Rossweisse's expression would be after seeing these things, it should be very exciting.
He squatted down and carefully examined Benson's body. The torn clothes were almost completely soaked with blood. Only a small area looked slightly cleaner, but there were still some traces left by Benson.
It was a word written in blood:
Two!
Hehe, it seems that Benson had no strength left when he left this word. He couldn't write Qin Chu's full name, and could only leave a two. Was he trying to hint at the second generation of the hero?
But would this guy underestimate himself? Did he think he wouldn't touch the corpse?
After thinking for a while, Qin Chu threw a cluster of flames directly to burn these traces, and then found a pair of white stockings, grabbed Benson's fingers stained with blood and left two symbols on the white stockings.
One symbolizes the Earth Mother Church.
One symbolizes the Holy See.
Anyway, Augustus has enough black pots on his back, so he doesn't care about one more.
By the way, I also gave a pot to Santa Monica, she will definitely be grateful to me.
After getting ready, Qin Chu stuffed the stockings into Benson's palm and held it tightly.
Ekaterina has been watching this scene quietly, without saying a word, and she didn't feel sad at all for the death of her former companion.
Qin Chu waved at the cliff, then called Ekaterina and turned away.
Since the next target was the great magician Athena, he had to be prepared. Although he had Antia by his side and would not lose in terms of hard power, the noise caused by the battle would be too loud, which was not what Qin Chu wanted to happen. It would be best to use the soul fragments of the first generation of heroes to deal with it.
However, there are currently two soul fragments of the first generation of heroes.
One is in the territory of the third princess of the monster, and Ronald is looking for it.
The other is in the territory of the storm witch.
With his current strength, he may not have no chance to fight against the storm witch, not to mention that Qin Chu is also prepared to have a backup plan, even if he can't defeat her and slip away, it doesn't matter.
Qin Chu opened his panel.
Level: Level 47
Class: Hero
Strength: 373
Stamina: 285
Agility: 176
Spirit: 744
Defense: 658
Charm: 6
Power: Greed, Rage, Forced Calmness, Transfiguration, Pseudo. Absolute Defense!
Special power: Desire, Holy Healing
Strength and physical strength have increased significantly, especially defense, which is very exaggerated. Mental strength has increased by several hundred because of the second glimpse into the void, and it is still the highest among all attributes.
Level 80 is a huge level for practitioners in this world. Once you break through level 80, you seem to get some kind of gift, and all attributes will double, and your strength will increase unprecedentedly. If you only look at the attributes, Qin Chu is infinitely close to level 80.
This kind of attribute has a very good ability to protect itself in this world, and it is no longer as fragile as before.
The most important thing is that he got Benson's power as he wished, pseudo-absolute defense. Although it has shortcomings such as being unable to move and unable to defend against attacks under the ground, this power can be used to save lives at critical moments.
This time, the harvest is really great.
Qin Chu restrained the smile on his face. The rest was to wait for Rossweisse to find Benson's body, and then he and Ekaterina would appear from behind. Benson's death had nothing to do with him at all.
As for the time in between, you can go to the Storm Witch's house for a cup of tea...
Qin Chu and Ekaterina have left, and Benson's body is lying quietly in a pool of blood, with cockroaches and flies crawling all over his body, and rats gnawing at the dry body.
A member of the first generation of the Brave Team, a shield guard with the title of immovable as a mountain, ended up like this.
The starry night is flowing.
The sky is gray.
A cluster of dark fire suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain in Cabañas.
Da Da Da...
Accompanied by a rapid sound, the dark fire is approaching rapidly.
A few minutes later, the fire broke through the thick fog and appeared next to Benson's body.
It was a war horse, but there was no flesh and blood on the war horse, only white bones. It should have been a very good war horse when it was alive. Even if only a skeleton was left, the limbs could still be felt. There was a dark red flame burning under the horse's hoof, which was gloomy and weird.
On the warhorse, there was a knight in heavy armor. The sealed helmet completely covered the knight's head. No one could see what the face inside the helmet looked like. They could only peek into a pair of dark scarlet eyes through the hole in the helmet.
Member of the Brave Team.
Death Knight Karsus!
Recommendation tickets are given, another three thousand. Today's update is done, and I will continue to write. Thank you Tricls for your reward and support.
Chapter 93 Grand Mage Athena
(Please recommend and monthly tickets)
Death Knight Karsus.
The most mysterious person in the Brave Team, no one knows where he came from, only that he has a strong body, long pale hair, and a white bone warhorse.
There is no doubt that this is a knight who is not tolerated by the Sky Continent and is stained with dark power.
It is rumored that he was once the son of a noble family, with a distinguished background and noble blood.
Some people say that he was impulsive and proud, brave and tenacious, and had a handsome face.
Some people say that he once had a beautiful and excellent girlfriend, and they were even about to enter the palace of marriage.
Some people also said that after he was infected with the power of darkness, he became corrupted, his brain was damaged, he killed his parents, and used his parents' souls as sacrifices to pray for powerful power...
In the Sky Continent, people like Karsus would be hunted down by the Church and tried by the Inquisition, but the first generation hero Jello did not know why he accepted Karsus' existence and even allowed him to become a member of the Hero Team.
In his hand, there was a slender silver-white sword with ice blue flashing. It was a gift forged for him by the first generation of heroes who personally collected various precious materials. Moreover, the first generation of heroes also gave this weapon a very nice name:
Frostmourne!
Although his main combat weapon was a spear... he still accepted Jello's gift. He asked Jello why he gave this sword such a name. Jello did not answer, but he still remembered that Jello's face was very strange at that time.
Not only did he accept himself, but he even gave himself a precious weapon.
From that moment on, Karsus swore that his life would exist for Jello.
But in the end, he could only watch Jello's body being torn into pieces by the despicable and ugly demon king, and he was powerless.
In Karsus' heart, the only hero he recognized was Jello. No one else could bear this title, because the Orwell Empire and the Thirteen Sages were preparing to summon the second generation of heroes. Karsus left the empire angrily and wandered alone in the wild.
Until he received a message from Rossweisse and knew the possibility of Jello's resurrection.
Like Rossweisse, he hated Qin Chu, who stole the title of hero, but he was willing to endure the anger and disgust in his heart as long as he could resurrect Jello.
Benson not only contacted Rossweisse but also contacted others. Just as Qin Chu calculated, except for Ekaterina and Rossweisse, almost everyone was too late to support Benson.
Sylph, Irene, Ellie, and Athena were in the opposite direction.
Ronald was in the monster's territory.
Mad Muse was too far away.
However, what Qin Chu didn't know was that Karsus in the first round did not show all his abilities in front of him, or rather, that was not Karsus's strength, but the ability of the white-bone warhorse under Karsus' crotch.
If the white-bone warhorse does not skimp on magic power and runs at full speed, it can maintain a long-term ultra-fast movement, although it will enter a period of exhaustion at least three times longer after that.
It was this speed that allowed Karsus to rush to Benson's location before Rossweisse and Natia.
But, it was too late after all. When Karsus arrived here, he could only see the dry and cold corpse on the ground. Looking at Benson, whose body was tortured and broken and covered with wounds, Karsus' body was trembling.
Suddenly, this tall and strong knight raised his head and let out an angry whine towards the sky.
Because of his identity, Karsus could feel the rejection of other team members even in the team. Ronald looked down on him, Athena, Irene and Ellie hated him, and Sylph regarded him as a plague. Only the shield guard Benson, the mad Muse, and Rossweisse were willing to contact him.
Apart from the hero, Benson and Muse were Karsus' best brothers.
But now all that can be seen are stiff corpses.
