Hero? Are You Worthy?
Chapter 440 - 292: Asina’s Despair (4)

Chapter 440: Chapter 292: Asina’s Despair (4)

Just as these few people appeared, the weird voice that had been lingering by Asina’s ears disappeared cleanly, as if it had never been there.

The feeling of being entangled by countless threads also dissipated at this time.

That weird presence seemed to not want to come into contact with these people for the time being.

But there was not a hint of relief on Asina’s face, on the contrary, she became even more desperate when this man appeared here, Asina felt as if her whole brain were about to explode.

Being too clever isn’t necessarily a good thing?

The man’s voice made Asina shudder suddenly.

What did this mean?

With Asina’s intelligence, she could not possibly fail to understand what this sentence meant, but she was unwilling to believe it.

Because once she believed, it would mean that she herself had extinguished the last bit of hope within her heart, leaving her with only endless darkness and despair.

The appearance of the two left Muse increasingly confused.

His gaze shifted between the man and Asina, this feeling of being the only one in the dark was really too terrible, Muse couldn’t stand it.

"Damn it, what on earth are you? What do you want?"

"Show yourself fully, if you have the guts then identify yourself," Muse shouted fiercely.

His knuckles were white as he gripped the battle axe, unbeknownst to him, swelling was already starting to appear on his body.

The man smiled and nodded, "This must be Mad Demon Frenzy Battle Muse, right?"

"A former member of the Hero Team, the craziest and most fearless one in the war against demons."

"An existence that even demons greatly fear."

"Today, I am truly honored to meet you."

But how has Muse ended up looking like this? In the first week, Muse was madly brutal. Although he often fell ill later, he did not look as wretched as he did now.

It was said that Muse’s battle axe, due to slaughtering too many lives, was smeared with boundless blood and filth, and the blade was engulfed in the most terrifying bacteria, just like the teeth of a giant lizard; once bitten, even if the wound was not fatal, the bacteria would cause the victim’s body to rapidly weaken and not long afterward die amidst illness.

Now, Muse looked far more terrifying than in the first week, already losing the appearance of a normal human, truly looking like a monster.

Even more disgusting than Karsas, but unlike Karsas, he had not completely lost his sanity.

The man only glanced momentarily before withdrawing his gaze, as Muse’s current appearance really was too disgusting for him to bear, even if he did not suffer from a fear of clusters.

With a slight bend in the waist, that was a standard gesture of gentlemanly etiquette, "It seems I have never introduced myself, which is truly impolite."

"My name is Qin Chu, the Second-Generation Brave Warrior."

Qin Chu.

Just as this name was uttered, Muse’s expression drastically changed.

Just when he and Asina had just obtained Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment, the Second-Generation Brave Warrior appeared here? Could it be that this man already knew about their plans?

Murderous intent churned hotly within Muse’s chest.

Since the plan was already exposed, Qin Chu could not be allowed to leave here alive.

Not just Qin Chu, but even the women behind him also could not be spared.

For him, this was not a problem at all, after all, what he loved most was killing. Unfortunately, Muse’s mind was somewhat muddled, and he couldn’t quite discern the gap in strength between the two sides.

Daughter of Death, Ireta, was a witch whom even Shaye somewhat dreaded, her strength among many witches was outstanding.

Ireta had mentioned before, if Qin Chu needed help, he could call her name anytime. This was the first time Qin Chu had tried it, and the result was very good; it didn’t take Ireta long to appear from somewhere.

Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment still required Ireta for interpretation.

If possible, Qin Chu also hoped to utilize Ireta’s power to control souls to try out an experiment, with the test subject naturally being Asina.

Although Helois was also around Level 80, she was still somewhat inferior compared to Muse, but this icy, snow-covered locale was precisely the Snow Woman’s home terrain.

As for Princess Antasia, her strength was the weakest.

However, Snow Mountain was barely considered Antasia’s old home, and without Antasia leading the way, it would not have been easy to find their way here.

After all, like Asina, Qin Chu only knew the name Snow Mountain without a clear idea of its exact location.

Plus, with Qin Chu the Brave Warrior, if it really came to a fight, the outcome could be absolutely certain.

Muse already wanted to take action, but seeing Asina still standing dumbly by his side, appearing as if her soul had been sucked out of her, for a moment he was at a loss about whether or not to immediately act.

This strange atmosphere persisted for an undefined length of time until Asina finally spoke. Her voice was hollow, indescribable, "Qin Chu..."

"You know everything."

"Correct!" Qin Chu answered candidly.

It was this response that directly made Asina feel as if her heart had been stabbed through.

It hurt!

The last sliver of extravagant hope and expectation also disappeared at that moment.

She felt as if she were running out of oxygen, gasping desperately for air, "Then... Jie Luo’s Residual Soul..."

Qin Chu silently stared at Asina, his lips curling into a mocking smile, "Asina, from the beginning, Jie Luo’s Residual Soul never existed."

"All you faced was me."

Buzz...

That one sentence made Asina’s brain completely blank.

She suddenly lost the ability to think.

Does it hurt? It hurts a lot!

Asina was in so much pain that she didn’t even have the strength to scream or cry.

Her body was twitching uncontrollably, her abdomen stabbing with pain as if in spasms, and her pupils suddenly darkened.

It wasn’t fear, it wasn’t sadness, but a despair and emptiness from losing all hope.

That wasn’t the expression a human should have, but rather that of a dead person.

Yet Asina’s reaction filled Qin Chu’s heart with pleasure; this was exactly what he wanted. The more Asina suffered, the happier and more satisfied Qin Chu felt.

Grieve a bit more, despair a bit more...

Still, it wasn’t enough.

Qin Chu wanted to see more, images that would bring him even greater joy.

"You’ve been lying to me the whole time..."

The shaky, neurotic sound spilled from the corners of Asina’s mouth.

Qin Chu smiled and slowly walked towards Asina, staring at that beautiful face that had so often been joyful beneath him.

Qin Chu felt little pity in his heart.

At this moment, Qin Chu was not any kind of hero but rather resembled a terrifying Demon King.

He even reached out his hand to catch Asina’s chin, forcibly lifting her face so that her hollow eyes were staring directly into his.

And Asina, seemingly devoid of all strength, didn’t even have the desire to resist, just silently gazing at Qin Chu.

Looking at the devilish smile before her, listening to words more cruel than those of an evil ghost:

"Yes, that’s right, I’ve been deceiving you the whole time."

"You didn’t think your plans were perfect, did you? I know more than you can imagine."

"Ronald, Benson’s death, it was all orchestrated by you," Asina’s lips trembled.

Qin Chu somewhat helplessly exhaled, "That’s why I said you were smart, the fool behind you hasn’t even realized it yet."

"Karsas’s death was also a setup by you..."

"Although Karsas brought it on himself, but... I won’t deny it!"

The former Hero Team, so many outstanding members, all manipulated by Qin Chu.

Upon realizing this, a sad smile appeared on Asina’s face, as if they were all clowns naively performing a ridiculous play.

Ha ha... Ha ha ha ha ha...

She started laughing hysterically, like a madwoman.

All hope, crushed into despair in that instant, was enough to break anyone.

Asina’s tears poured out as she looked up at Qin Chu, "As for me..."

"I designed different deaths for each of you... But Asina, you are beautiful; it’d really be a pity to just kill you directly... "

Qin Chu shrugged, "You thought giving yourself to me could hasten Jie Luo’s resurrection... "

"You thought everything you were doing was a sacrifice for Jie Luo and were moved by your own selflessness."

"On the one hand, you were moved by yourself, while on the other hand, you suffered the torment of betrayal, feeling unclean, dirty, unworthy to stay by Jie Luo’s side even if he were to be resurrected, yet you still hoped that Jie Luo would remember your sacrifice, your contributions, and treat you better."

"But in reality, everything you did was for my pleasure, and it was useless for anything else."

"Do you know how it felt, watching you call out Jie Luo’s name while cooperating with me?"

Qin Chu laughed exaggeratedly, "That feeling was fantastic!"

Is this person really not a devil?

Even Antasia and Helois found it a bit strange, but they knew a little, the former members of the Hero Team had always been plotting to kill the hero, which was a fate they brought on themselves.

But the blow Qin Chu delivered to Asina was not over yet, he leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Asina, you know?"

"You taste really good."

The warm breath made Asina’s whole body break out in goosebumps.

Is this fear?

Is this despair?

Where is hope?

She couldn’t see it.

She hugged her shoulders tightly, shivering continuously.

She would rather have died already, would rather Qin Chu had killed her cleanly, than endure such torment and pain.

She wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

Why, why was he so cruel to her?

"Ah, right." Qin Chu seemed to have remembered something, lightly tapping his head, "Jie Luo... you’ve always wanted to resurrect him, right?"

"You might be disappointed, even if you kill me and take all my blood and soul, Jie Luo cannot be resurrected."

"He is already dead, his soul has dissolved, ceased to exist."

"Even if you gather all the Soul Fragments and use the Resurrection Technique, I’m really curious about what exactly would be resurrected in the end."

Buzz...

In an instant, the last traces of light in Asina’s pupils vanished.
