Chapter 112: Chapter 89: Murder and Devastation (4000 words, asking for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets)

Qin Chu had no intention of stopping Benson; to him, Benson was no more than a maggot that could be squished at any moment.

If it weren’t for wanting to devour the rapidly-recovering Fighting Energy beneath the "Pseudo Absolute Defense," if it weren’t for wanting Benson to taste the most intense pain and despair, he would have killed Benson long ago.

Such a toy would be a pity not to play with.

Cats play with mice because cats have absolute overwhelming strength over mice.

Villains die from talking too much, and that’s simply because they aren’t strong enough and their preparations aren’t sufficient.

Listening to Benson’s roar, Qin Chu’s smile grew ever more radiant.

Having shouted his speech, Benson seemed to lose all his strength, gasping for breath, ignoring the blood flowing from his belly, lightheaded from the excessive blood loss and seemingly not caring how close to death he was—as long as he could protect Rose Vesper, that was enough.

He looked at Qin Chu with a triumphant gaze, certain that this Hero was doomed, confident his comrades would never let Qin Chu get away with it.

But to Benson’s surprise, there was no trace of fear on Qin Chu’s face, only mockery.

The message had already been sent out, and he could still smile?

Seconds passed, and Benson’s smug expression gradually stiffened. He heard no response from Rose Vesper.

His neck creaked like it was rusted as he turned to look at the scroll lying on the ground. His pupils dilated sharply—the scroll hadn’t been activated at all.

"Sorry, the area is sealed off. No Message Magic can get through," Qin Chu said with a casual tone, spreading his hands.

This was Witch Saye’s masterpiece.

With Saye’s current level, though she could not sustain long periods of intense combat, she could still seal off the surroundings for a while.

Please, with Qin Chu well aware that this world has Message Magic similar to telephones and that Rose Vesper and Benson often communicated this way, how could he not make the necessary preparations in advance?

All of Benson’s actions were as comical as a clown’s.

Benson’s heart convulsed violently as if it was being squeezed by a powerful grip; the horror of his enemy kept breaking through his perceived limits.

"If you kill me, are you not afraid that my companions will investigate and seek vengeance?" Benson asked in broken breaths and a hoarse voice.

Qin Chu’s tone was calm, "Please, Luo Meng killed you. What does that have to do with me, the Hero?"

"Don’t try to pin all the blame on me. I’m innocent."

"Besides, investigate? How? Check fingerprints? This world doesn’t have that technology, does it? Investigate the murder weapon? Sorry, the ice cone has already melted with your blood..."

"Rose Vesper, Catherine, Nadia all know you were attacked by Luo Meng... Do you think their testimonies will carry enough weight?"

"Luo Meng will also spread the word that he’s the one who finished you off."

"By the way, don’t you think many people will benefit from your death?"

"I devour you and gain strength."

"The guilt of killing Benson falls on Luo Meng, his status among the Demons rises sharply, and I get a very useful pawn... ah no, a tool Demon..."

"It’s a win-win."

The smile on Qin Chu’s face sent shivers down Benson’s spine; this man had meticulously planned everything, leaving no flaws. He could clear himself of all suspicions, leaving only the image of innocence.

Even if he killed Benson, once back in Orville Royal City, he would remain the widely admired Hero, untainted by any stain.

This man was terrifying.

Benson sat on the ground, staring at Qin Chu with eyes full of hatred—he still hadn’t lost hope.

An hour was the limit of the "Pseudo Absolute Defense." As long as his companions arrived before then, they could expose Qin Chu’s true face.

"Are you thinking that if you can hold on for an hour, maybe someone will come to save you, and my real identity will be revealed?"

Benson’s lips twitched, hating how this detestable man could read his every thought.

"I would like to tell you that none of them can make it within an hour—oh, sorry, I already told you."

Qin Chu smirked slightly; he was going to crush Benson’s body and hope bit by bit: "However, you don’t really believe your ’Absolute Defense’ can save your life, do you?"

"’Pseudo Absolute Defense’ has a fatal flaw, one I think you should be even more aware of than I am?"

Benson had been determined not to be swayed by anything Qin Chu said, quietly waiting for the hour to pass. Although the Fighting Energy restored within the "Absolute Defense" would be plundered by Qin Chu, his Physical Strength was still recovering.

He maintained a somber demeanor, but upon hearing Qin Chu’s words, Benson’s complexion changed drastically; uncontrollably, he shouted, "You, how do you know that?"

The existence of a fatal weakness in the "Pseudo Absolute Defense" was not even known to the members of the Hero Team — how did Qin Chu find out?

The next second, Benson hastily tried to rise from the ground and flee his current position.

But it was too late.

Qin Chu’s toes lightly tapped on the ground, and a surge of Magic Power instantly permeated it.

The earth shook violently!

With a ’puff’ sound, a spike of earth suddenly erupted beneath Benson, piercing straight through his body from below.
