Chapter 254: Chapter 162: Your Wife, I Will Take Care of Her (1)_2

The once neatly combed hair had now become a disheveled mess.

The once handsome and powerful Death Knight had fallen into such a wretched state, it was truly a sad sight.

He hung his head low, continuously letting out pained groans from his throat.

His body was covered in wounds, and his blood had stained the filthy water a dark red.

A priest wearing a monocle was flipping through a document in his hand... or rather, a register of crimes.

"Karsas, you are accused of defiling and killing the youngest daughter of the Vick family two years ago and even slaughtering the entire Vick family, do you confess?" the priest asked in an indifferent tone, holding a feather pen in his other hand.

Karsas just kept gasping for breath and did not respond.

Seeing this, a priest next to the cage immediately cast a Holy Light Technique on Karsas.

The Holy Light Technique was meant for healing and could also serve as a Magic Lamp... in short, it was supposed to provide warmth to any normal person.

Except for Death Knights.

For Death Knights, the Holy Light Technique was as dreadful as using gasoline to put out a fire or taking Cephalosporin to cure a hangover.

The bright Holy Light dispelled the darkness, shining on Karsas as if pouring a bucket of concentrated sulfuric acid directly onto him, instantly causing a large amount of putrid white smoke to billow from his body.

Visibly, large areas of his flesh started to decay.

Hideous bloodied skin peeled off Karsas’s body, and the excruciating pain made him let out a piercing scream.

"Ah..."

Amidst the gloomy surroundings, this scream was chilling to the bone.

But the priest seemed very pleased, "Oh, Karsas has confessed, that’s wonderful."

As he spoke, the priest marked a check in the register of crimes.

So this is what they call the warmth of Holy Light?

No wonder the Holy Court excels in creating new ways of torture.

"Next charge, before the massacre of the Holy Knights, you had already wiped out Ofer Village due to your loss of control, do you confess?"

Ofer Village, Qin Chu still remembered this village.

It was a village under the protection of the Holy Court, but due to the negligence and disregard of the Holy Court, the village was trampled by demons.

Now, the Holy Court was pinning some of their own faults onto Karsas’s head, right? Anyway, this guy was going to be executed soon, a dead man can’t speak in his defense.

Accompanied by the shining Holy Light, came more screaming, and another checkmark in the register of crimes...

The sins on Karsas’s back were increasing.

Seeing Karsas tormented and turned into such a pitiful state, neither human nor ghost-like, Qin Chu felt no sympathy, instead, a sense of satisfaction emerged.

Yet his expression remained extraordinarily calm, Qin Chu had now mastered the art of controlling his facial expressions... only the corners of his mouth still slightly curled up into a faint arc.

The Holy Court was performing better than he had imagined, even Qin Chu himself couldn’t have done it so perfectly.

No wonder they are members of the Heresy Court, they are truly experts in this field.

Karsas, Karsas, how is today feeling for you?

How does it feel to be tortured? How does it feel to be framed?

It must be very comfortable?

Once upon a time, this is how you treated me. Now tasting it yourself, the esteemed Death Knight must be deeply moved, right?

Yes, just like this, suffer, scream, wail, struggle, despair...

Watching your own blood flow from the wounds.

Watching your own flesh rot under the Holy Light.

Anger boils over baseless accusations, which are gradually increasing.

Feeling your life ebbing away little by little.

At least you can still shout; back then, I couldn’t even speak.

Another burst of Holy Light bloomed on Karsas’s body, and it was now hard to find any skin that wasn’t severely damaged, his body covered in a foul-smelling, dark red liquid.

Some worms had even begun to crawl on Karsas’s body, bringing even more intense pain.

This here, is Purgatory!

Just then, the priest responsible for concocting... no, recording the charges finally noticed Qin Chu and Augustus, and hurriedly paused his actions to come over and greet them.

"It’s alright, Mr. Brave and I just came to see what the Death Knight looks like now," Augustus said cheerfully. "You are doing a fine job, keep it up."

A smile immediately blossomed on the priest’s face.

"By the way, how is the collection of Karsas’s crimes going?"

"Reporting to His Holiness the Pope, I have fabricated... ah no, I have interrogated two hundred and eighty-one charges..."

"This Death Knight truly is a monumental sinner, dying ten thousand times wouldn’t suffice to atone for his sins, I will continue to diligently judge all his crimes."

"Very good, very good," Augustus praised with a smile.

"You all may step back now, Mr. Brave has some words for the Death Knight," Augustus commanded.

Although these men were not loyal to Augustus, they didn’t dare disobey his commands, and they temporarily backed away, leaving the scene to Qin Chu and Augustus.
