Chapter 111: Chapter 88 The Joke is Actually on Me (Vote for Recommendation, Vote for Monthly Ticket)

Qin Chu’s face was adorned with an exaggerated smile, "I am the traitor. Surprised? Astonished? Thrilled?"

Benson, after all, was a member of the Hero Team. Although covered in wounds from Luo Meng’s demons’ attacks, his strength was still formidable, which is why Qin Chu took the opportunity to approach him step by step when Benson had just narrowly escaped death and his brain was muddled, lacking the ability to think clearly.

He deliberately mentioned the names of Catherine, Rose Vesper, and even Nadia in order to lower Benson’s guard.

He deliberately showed his panel too, to assure Benson that he was indeed a hero.

Humans are a very strange kind of life form.

Benson and Rose Vesper plotted conspiracies, using Qin Chu as a handy tool they planned to discard by killing after use, regarding him in their hearts as someone to be deceived.

They looked at Qin Chu as if he were a clown, his enthusiastic demeanor not only repulsing them but even appearing somewhat comical to them, causing them never to suspect Qin Chu. In their hearts, they also looked forward to the day when the truth would come out and what expression Qin Chu would have.

They never imagined that they could be counter-killed by Qin Chu.

Intense pain forced Benson to wail involuntarily, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Qin Chu.

He... he was a Second Generation Brave Warrior, wasn’t he? How could he be the traitor?

What benefit could such behavior bring him? How did he know about his whereabouts and how did he get in touch with Luo Meng?

He had only been in this world for a few days; it was simply impossible for him to achieve this level.

Just as Qin Chu had guessed, after confirming he was a hero, Benson completely let his guard down around him. He never imagined that Qin Chu would stab him in the back.

He regarded Qin Chu as a clown, but who knew he would be the clown himself?

The anger of being fooled, coupled with the physical pain, made Benson lose control. He suddenly raised his fists that were as large as sandbags, clenched his fingers tightly, and with a whooshing sound, swung his fist towards Qin Chu’s face.

He no longer had the strength to lift the battle axe, otherwise, he would have definitely chopped off the bastard’s head with it.

The metal gauntlet hammered into Qin Chu’s face, with fissures appearing instantly on his cheek. Benson’s face twisted into a grim smile, pity that his Fighting Energy had run dry, otherwise, this punch could have definitely blown the hero’s head to smithereens.

He prepared to strike again. Though seriously injured, Benson was still very confident that with his strength, even without Fighting Energy, his fists could smash the hero into a bloody pulp.

But soon, a scene that stunned Benson unfolded.

On the hero’s face, the fissures from the punch he had just landed grew dense with new flesh, and the wound began to heal at an incredibly fast pace, even the blood rolling down his cheek weirdly reversing its flow.

In the blink of an eye, the wounds were gone, as if they had never existed.

Benson was shocked. What kind of strength was this?

He had not seen Qin Chu use Magic, so it could only be a Power taking effect, but Benson had never seen such weird Power, and this mysterious Power was not included in the information that Rose Vesper had given to him.

Benson understood.

This Second Generation Brave Warrior had hidden his true strength the very moment he was summoned to this different world.

This man’s thoughts were horrifying indeed.

Benson shuddered with fear, suddenly understanding something that made his scalp tingle. This man, the moment he was summoned to this different world without knowing anything, had chosen to hide part of his true strength, deceiving the three mightiest, deceiving the Thirteen Sages, deceiving the Hero Team. Such thought processes were truly chilling.

Qin Chu stroked his cheek, and cracked a grin, "That hurt a lot..."

The next second, his other hand snapped his fingers with a pop.

"Explode."

Splat!

The ice cone lodged in Benson’s stomach exploded on cue.

Countless tiny sharp ice spurs ravaged inside Benson’s belly.

"Aaaaahhhhh..."

The sudden excruciating pain uncontrollably forced a dreadful scream from Benson, his body writhing and shaking violently under the unbearable torture, large beads of sweat rolling down his contorted face, which had twisted into something as ferocious as an Evil Ghost.

"It hurts so much..." groaned Benson.

Inside his abdominal cavity, it was a complete mess, riddled with holes.

Being alive at that moment was certainly no blessing for Benson.

Does it hurt?

Listening to Benson’s agonized screams, Qin Chu felt intrigued. He grabbed a hold of Benson’s hair and yanked hard, pulling the powerless Benson’s head, drained by the intense pain, directly in front of him.

At close range, Qin Chu’s eyes, sparkling with bitter animosity and ruthlessness, only made Benson shiver with a different kind of cold.

He didn’t understand why this man harbored such deep hatred towards him.

"Does it hurt?"

The voice was cold and detached; he wasn’t even in a hurry to kill Benson.

Antia remained at the highest point, surveilling the surroundings, while Shaye had already set up multiple layers of defenses.

Even if Rose Vesper was the fastest, she could only arrive tomorrow, Qin Chu had plenty of time to play with Benson slowly, and even if life suddenly intruded, Qin Chu had enough time to snap Benson’s neck.

He needed to vent.

"Does it hurt? So you do know what pain is?"

"But do you realize the pain you’re feeling now is nothing compared to what I’ve been through? Do you know what being dismembered feels like? That’s the real pain."

Before the words were finished, the right knee was abruptly lifted and banged into Benson’s belly, right where the wound was.

With full force, the impact severely deformed Benson’s abdomen, and the ice spikes further damaged it; his entire abdominal cavity was probably in tatters, followed by a painful moan as Benson’s body was directly sent flying away.

The indescribable agony made Benson’s body wriggle on the ground like a filthy worm.

"Now, it’s finally your turn to taste this feeling. How does it feel?" Qin Chu laughed while extending his right hand.

Devourer!

The fingers instantly transformed into a translucent tendril, like a Slime, stretching out rapidly and entwining around Benson.

As his strength grew, the Devourer became even more formidable; now, even without direct physical contact, it could exercise the effects of the Devourer.

As soon as it wrapped around him, the Devourer immediately began to extract energy from Benson’s body. The weird ability terrified Benson to the core; his Fighting Energy was nearly depleted, and these strange tendrils entwining his body began directly absorbing the Fighting Element.

The Fighting Element is the purest.

Once the Fighting Element was absorbed, decades of Benson’s dedicated training would be wasted in an instant.

"Pseudo Absolute Defense!" Benson used the last of his energy to let out a raspy scream, activating his final Absolute Defense.

Hum...

A ring of pale golden light enveloped Benson’s body.

The wounds showed no sign of healing, but his Fighting Energy and Physical Strength were rapidly recovering.

Benson had not completely lost hope. As long as his Physical Strength and Fighting Energy recovered a bit, he still believed he could easily kill Qin Chu; this Hero’s strength definitely wasn’t strong, he was just a shameless sneak attacker.

But soon, Benson realized that things were not going as smoothly as he thought. After the Pseudo Absolute Defense was activated, his Physical Strength and Fighting Energy were indeed recovering quickly, but the just-recovered Fighting Energy was immediately plundered, with almost nothing left inside his body.

Pseudo Absolute Defense couldn’t hold back the Devourer!

Being capable of stealing another’s strength, what kind of evil Power is this?

Fear intensified in Benson’s heart, the opponent was more horrifying than he had imagined. Struggling, using the slightly restored Physical Strength, Benson sat up from the ground and quietly took out a scroll of Message Magic.

He had to notify Rose Vesper of this message as soon as possible.

This enemy was not the clown they thought he was; letting Rose Vesper stay beside this man was far too dangerous. He’s going to kill himself now, and he will surely use even more brutal methods to deal with Rose Vesper in the future.

Benson’s movements were slow and extremely cautious. He thought he was well-hidden, but little did he know that everything had been seen by Qin Chu, who simply didn’t care.

Hatred filled Benson’s gaze as he stared intently at Qin Chu, "Damn you, you’ve betrayed us..."

"No, no, no, you might not know, but I actually treated you like family once," said Qin Chu with a shrug; his expression calm and indifferent, as if he harbored no hatred.

"But you, you betrayed me..."

A chill ran down Benson’s spine, his face contorted instantly. What did he mean by that? Had he already known...

"To deliberately get close to me, letting me see you as the closest of companions."

"Tsk, that’s really cunning."

"Me, a foreigner... ah, an Otherworldly person, suddenly arriving in this unfamiliar place, if you were a bit warm to me, took care of me, I would surely be grateful, right? Then I would see you as the best brothers and comrades, maybe even falling in love with a female member of the Hero Team."

Especially since the former Qin Chu was a homebody who stayed at home all day, the effect was even better.

"Then, after using me to eliminate the Demons, and draining my worth, you give me a stab from behind when I am utterly unguarded..."

Benson’s eyes widened and his body shook violently. How did this man know all these things?

This was information only members of the Hero Team knew about; they had never told anyone else. Could it be that there was a traitor within the Hero Team?

His death didn’t matter, but Rose Vesper must not fall into the clutches of this terrifying man.

Benson could no longer hold back; under the protection of the Pseudo Absolute Defense, he fiercely opened the scroll of Message Magic:

Pressing one hand against his ear, he bellowed loudly:

"Rose Vesper beware of Qin Chu, he’s a Devil..."

"He already knows everything..."

Qin Chu remained indifferent, a smile playing on his lips, watching Benson in front of him as if he were watching a clown.
