Chapter 170: Chapter 124: Such a Weak Death Knight (5)

Violet stood tall and silent beside Qin Chu, her expression icy cold.

She exuded an aura of unshakeable determination.

This was her only sore point, the Storm Temple had already been shattered, and even the Lord of Storm she worshipped had fallen. In this world, the only person Violet cared about was Qin Chu, and she would not allow anyone to harm him.

Be it Death Knight Karthas or even Saint Monica, Augustus himself, Violet remained undaunted.

With a buzz... dark energy surged around them.

The energy contained within Karthas’s body, forcibly dispersed by Violet’s sudden intervention, transformed into a gust of wind that blew through her long hair, revealing a neck as slender as a swan’s, and her ash-gray eyes filled with murderous intent.

A gurgling sound came from Karthas’s throat, he was not eloquent to begin with, and now, consumed by anger and resentment, he could not utter a single word.

Violet.

It was this woman again.

The first time he had wanted to kill Qin Chu, it was this damned woman who had stopped him, causing him unprecedented humiliation, and now it was her again.

Was she his fated nemesis?

To make things worse, Karthas’s wide, muscular frame stood right in front of Qin Chu, hiding him from Augustus’s people who could only see Karthas’s back and not the obstructed Qin Chu.

But, Karthas saw him.

This detestable bastard, his lips were curling up, was he actually smiling at him?

He was provoking him!

Karthas was very dull, but getting him enraged was all too easy.

His huge body shivered slightly, his eyes spewing dark red flames, and the beast-like roar in his throat grew fiercer, his brain instantly losing the ability to think.

Killing Qin Chu became his only goal, even forgetting that his original goal was merely to kidnap Qin Chu as a hostage.

Suddenly, Karthas let out a roar, and in the inability to free his right hand, his body twisted forcefully, a leg lifted high, sweeping towards Qin Chu’s neck with a piercing whizzing sound.

He was sure that if this kick landed, it would definitively send Qin Chu’s head flying, this frail guy had no capacity to withstand his strength.

But in his fury, Karthas clearly forgot that Violet was right beside Qin Chu. And Violet had one distinct feature - she was three meters tall, and consequently... her arms were long.

Violet’s lips moved slightly: "True Word Spell."

The next second, her other arm, wrapped in a ring of wind-like halo, stretched out like lightning, and with a snap, directly caught Karthas’s ankle.

Karthas’s eyelid twitched violently as he desperately fueled the dark attribute Fighting Energy in his body, his whole body like a Demon King emerging from the darkness, the dark aura wildly squirming, like a thick, sinister fog, in which only a pair of blood-red eyeballs were distinctly visible:

"Violet... you dare stop me? I am a Death Knight..."

Following that, a hissing sound was heard, Violet’s slender arm exerted a bit of strength, and Karthas’s entire body was swung into mid-air by Violet, and then with a loud bang, he was heavily smashed onto the Temple’s floor.

Crack, smack!

The heavy metal armor made intimate contact with the hard floor, the tiles shattered, and the Fighting Energy on his body instantly dissipated.

Before Karthas could even wriggle a bit, he was swung up again.

Whoosh... bang... whoosh... bang...

Again and again he was swung up, and again and again he was smashed heavily onto the ground, the sound of shattering floor tiles was continuous, and in a short time almost no intact tiles were left in the entire Holy Hall.

Qin Chu looked bemused, watching Violet like a rampaging giantess, repeatedly smashing Karthas onto the ground like a little chick, he even felt like he was watching a scene from the Avengers where Hulk slams Loki.

Karthas was not Loki, but... his fate might be even more miserable than Loki’s, at least Loki was only slammed a few times.

Violet was furious for daring to attack Qin Chu.

Once, twice, ten times, twenty times...

Qin Chu had no idea how many times Karthas was lifted and smashed onto the floor by Violet, he only knew that Karthas’s hard armor was already deformed, occasionally hearing a weird cracking sound, as if the bones in his body were literally being broken.

The flattened helmet squeezed against the skull, and fresh blood continuously flowed from the gaps in the helmet, initially Karthas could still let out angry roars, but soon they turned into pitiful screams, and at last, Karthas didn’t even have the energy to scream, only managing to whimper.

The explosive scene was shocking to Nadia, Rose Vesper, and Asina, as their eyelids twitched; none of them had expected this gentle woman to suddenly turn into a female hooligan.

Augustus’s heart even twitched slightly; oh the floor, those stones were meticulously collected and polished, each costing a lot of money.

This meant another costly renovation.

But now was not the time to consider these, as the four old monsters looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

The rampage of Karthas was deliberately orchestrated by Augustus.

In fact, Augustus had already used a special Power to induce extreme fear in Karthas, triggering his beastly instincts, and deliberately mentioned the word "Hero" several times, aiming to provoke Karthas into attacking the Hero.

Otherwise, given Karlthas’s slow-witted brain, he probably couldn’t even have thought of kidnapping the Hero as a hostage.

Their purpose was simple: they just wanted to see how strong Violet really was, which was crucial for how they would deal with the Hero in the future, but they could not lay hands on Violet directly, so they had to use this method.

But now, the result had shocked them.

Although Karlthas was foolish, his own Strength was definitely not weak; yet nowadays, in Violet’s hands, he had no Power to resist at all, just being tossed around.

This woman’s Strength was far greater than expected; it was almost Level 90, or even had reached that level.

The Hero Qin Chu had really brought back an incredible character by accident.

While several old monsters exchanged glances, Violet also seemed to finally get a bit tired. Once again lifting Karlthas high, she slammed him down with a bang, and the entire Temple shook three times, smashing a huge pit into the ground.

With a snap, the armor on Karlthas’s body couldn’t withstand it any longer and completely burst, scattering in all directions.

The mysterious face that had always been hidden under the helmet was finally fully exposed in front of everyone; unfortunately, no one could tell what he looked like because his face was now just a mess of filthy blood.

After dealing with Karlthas, Violet finally felt relieved, delivering a kick to Karlthas’s waist; it must have shattered his spine, directly kicking his body... oh no, his corpse, in front of Augustus.

"Such a weak Death Knight!"

Violet turned her head to look at Qin Chu and smiled sweetly, the stark contrast even made it unbelievable that this was the same person.

That expression, seemingly craving Qin Chu’s praise?

Even though there were so many people around, Qin Chu felt somewhat embarrassed but did not want to disappoint Violet’s expectation and smiled: "Well done, Violet."

Violet’s smile grew even gentler.

The relationship between the two also made the bystanders look at each other.

As the host, Augustus inhaled sharply, suppressing the odd feeling in his heart. Looking at Karlthas, who was slowly wriggling his body at his feet like a lowly worm, he couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

Death Knight Karlthas, a former member of the Hero Team.

When he was with First Generation Brave Hero Jie Luo, even though his hands were stained with dark, corrupt Power and blood, no one dared to judge Karlthas’s crimes.

What glory was that?

But now, he had become so wretched.

He crouched down, took off Karlthas’s storage ring, and just wanted to check if there were any other pieces of evidence inside.

However, as soon as Augustus probed into the storage ring, his expression instantly darkened, and he shook his head, releasing the contents of the ring.

Heads, round and severed, appeared directly on the shattered floor of the Temple.

Over a thousand heads of Holy Knights, they have finally returned to the embrace of the Holy Light Goddess, but who could have imagined, in such a brutal way.

Wozworth, Saint Monica, and Zimmerman also darkened their faces.

Anyone who saw so many heads would feel disturbed; the entire Temple was filled with a thick smell of blood and stench.

If Karlthas could have previously argued that these were slander by others, now the Death Knight really had to die.

Asina’s slender neck moved slightly; such cruelty was only characteristic of followers of the Evil God...

Rose Vesper was also nearly fainting; she hadn’t expected Karlthas to handle the heads this way. At least digging a hole to bury them would have been better, but he stuffed them all into the ring... he had so much time yet never found the moment to dispose of them, and now they were being used as evidence. Being this stupid, who else but he should die?

"Karlthas, do you have anything else to say?" Augustus asked sternly, his face stern.

Karlthas’s body just wriggled, not knowing whether he heard Augustus’s voice, he gave no response.

Augustus looked around: "Gentlemen, what do you think would be a good way to deal with this person?"

Since Karlthas was still a former member of the Hero Team, it wasn’t proper for Augustus to handle it privately.

"Kill him, then find a place to bury the body, and just pretend this person never existed," Wozworth pronounced gravely the death sentence for Karlthas.

"After all, a former member of the Hero Team who had slaughtered knights fighting against demons; if this gets out, the impact would be far too negative."

Saint Monica and Zimmerman also quietly nodded, seemingly agreeing with Wozworth’s opinion.

"No, I have a different opinion," Qin Chu suddenly stood up at that moment.

The opinions of others might be ignored, but Qin Chu was, after all, the Hero.

With patience, Augustus asked, "Mr. Brave, what are your thoughts?"

Qin Chu smiled:

"My opinion is... a public trial!"

"A public trial!"
