Chapter 445: Chapter 297: Treating Asina like Silf? (4)

Not only Qin Chu, but even Asina was deeply shocked by this kind of power.

It was a purely subconscious act just now.

Asina was accustomed to using Elemental magic, especially skilled in the Water Element and Earth Element; she also dabbled in various other types of magic and relied on them in combat.

Plague?

Disease acceleration?

What kind of weird power was this?

Asina had never even heard of it before, let alone understood it. Why had she used it subconsciously just now?

What on earth had happened to her?

The weird feeling made Asina even more irritable.

In front of her, Muse’s legs could no longer support him, appearing as if they had osteoporosis and could not bear his tall body. A snapping sound was heard as his legs broke and he fell to the ground.

He couldn’t even feel the pain from his legs because the rest of his body hurt even more.

Muse’s body began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye, a scene that made Qin Chu wonder if he was standing in the center of a nuclear explosion.

The imagery was bloody and horrifying.

The effects of this power also made Qin Chu’s hair stand on end.

"Asina, what is this magic?" Qin Chu asked, frowning.

Asina’s eyes were somewhat panicked, her small hand shaking as she grasped her Magic Wand: "I, I don’t know."

Qin Chu stared at Asina for a moment. She didn’t seem to be lying; her chestnut eyes were clearly filled with shock.

If Asina really didn’t want him to know about this magic, she could have simply used other types of magic and not used this power at all; there was no need to use it and then claim ignorance afterward.

Seeing that Asina seemed very scared, Qin Chu gently patted her forehead, "It’s okay, Asina. I’m not suspecting you, but this magic is very malicious. You should be careful when using it in the future."

Asina nodded her head vigorously.

Even so, this magic was quite fitting when used on Muse.

Because the man was covered in blisters, looking disgustingly vile. Although Qin Chu had wanted to torture Muse cruelly before killing him, he really could not bring himself to do it.

Now, this condition was just right: high fever, rot, severe coughing, tumors on the neck, swelling in the belly... Muse’s plight was tragic.

This weird magic seemed to make people sick.

Moreover, it sped up the spread of the disease.

Muse, already languishing for some unknown reason, suffered egregiously under the influence of Asina’s stimulated magic. Qin Chu surmised that if it had been a healthy person, the effects wouldn’t have been so exaggerated.

Magic that makes people sick was indeed strange.

In the first week, Qin Chu, having lived for so many years, had never encountered such bizarre magic.

"Shaye, do you know this magic?" Qin Chu asked in his mind.

Shaye was worldly and wise.

She had been present in this world much longer than him, so perhaps she knew something.

Perhaps because she knew that Ireta posed no threat, Shaye did not hold back as much.

She drifted leisurely out from behind Qin Chu.

Ireta looked towards Qin Chu’s back and nodded slightly at Shaye.

Even Asina looked over with suspicion...

Helois and Antasia had not noticed Shaye’s presence at all.

"Is this a disease?"

"I have heard that a long time ago, there was a mysterious cult that specialized in studying these things."

"They worshiped a deity who controlled disasters and the authority of plagues, dedicating themselves to researching various terrifying and strange diseases, and then spreading these plagues."

"They were looking forward to the day when the plagues they themselves had researched would infect all things in the world, thereby appeasing the deity they worshiped."

"When their influence was at its peak, they created a plague that caused the deaths of tens of millions of people across the Sky Dome Continent. And those twisted believers would cheer and jump for joy as they watched living beings cry out in pain from the torment of diseases across the afflicted continent."

"Because this sect was so atrocious, it was eventually eradicated completely by a combined force of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, the Holy Court, the United Empire, and many Kingdoms and Duchies, who assembled a multitude of experts"

A deity that controls disasters and the authority of plagues, huh?

Shaye certainly knew a lot.

"What did the deity of that church look like?" Qin Chu was curious.

"Who knows, but I heard that when the church was destroyed, a large number of Divine Statues were confiscated. Those Divine Statues looked like toads squatting on the ground... I can’t understand what went through the heads of people who would worship such a deity," Shaye expressed her disdain for those so-called believers.

"And these believers, because they were afflicted with various diseases and plagues for a long time, became twisted, bloated, and grotesquely ugly, like Muse."

"In the end, all of those Divine Statues were burned to ashes, not a single one was spared."

"The Church’s accumulated records of plagues and diseases were also burned completely clean, and even their temples were set aflame."

"It is said that fire is the only way to stop the spread of plagues."

However, hearing all this, Asina’s complexion turned pale in an instant.

Asina’s reaction was immediately noted by Qin Chu: "Asina, what did you think of?"

"It’s just..." Asina felt her throat turn dry.

Even with Asina’s strength, she couldn’t help but feel afraid at this time.

"Before the master appeared, when I took out Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment from the secret chamber in the belly of Snow Mountain, I saw... a Divine Statue that looked like a toad," she said.

That Divine Statue even smiled at Asina.

Asina had always thought it was just her illusion. Could it be that it was all real?

Had she been targeted by an evil deity? The power she had just unleashed, was it bestowed upon her by that evil deity?

What Asina feared the most was that she would eventually turn into something like Muse, wouldn’t she?

No, absolutely not.

For a beautiful woman, that would be even more unbearable than being killed outright.

Listening to Asina recount everything she saw in the secret chamber, Qin Chu’s brow furrowed deeply, glancing at Muse on the ground who was still wheezing, breathing more out than in, his body almost completely decayed yet not dead. Qin Chu reached out to Asina.

Asina hurried over to Qin Chu, allowing him to place a hand on her forehead.

The warm power, filled with Holy Light, poured into Asina’s body.

Qin Chu’s Holy Light had a powerful killing effect on the aura of evil gods. If there were traces of evil gods left in Asina’s body, there would definitely be a reaction.

However, after a full round, there was no reaction from Asina’s body.

Aside from her cheeks turning slightly crimson, it seemed like the warmth of Qin Chu’s Holy Light made her feel very comfortable.

This situation made Qin Chu a bit dubious. Could it be that the mark the evil god, who had authority over plague and disaster, left on Asina was also branded in the soul, just like Silf’s?

Otherwise, how could Asina suddenly be able to use those evil and powerful powers?

Thinking about it, should he treat Asina in the same manner he treated Silf?

Qin Chu assured himself that he was definitely not entertaining any bad thoughts in his mind right now, that it was just for the sake of treatment.

"Master, my condition..."

"So far, your body shows no abnormalities, but the influences of these weird evil gods are often on the soul... After we leave here, I’ll treat you," Qin Chu thought for a moment and said, "You can talk to Silf, she has more experience with receiving treatment."

While the two were conversing, on the other side, Muse was still enduring intense pain.

The whole process lasted for several hours.

When there was not a single piece of intact flesh left on Muse, this man’s life finally came to an end.

Silver-white flames burned on the snowy ground, cleansing Muse’s remains, the stains on the ground, and even Muse’s soul, leaving nothing behind.

Qin Chu had a plan for the next step.

He was interested in the heart recorded inside the Soul Fragment and planned to study it... but first, he needed to return and prepare.

After some thought, Qin Chu took out another Soul Fragment from his storage ring and handed it to Asina.

Asina looked at Qin Chu with some skepticism, not understanding what her master meant. Holding it with her pale fingers, she tilted her small head; her posture was unexpectedly cute.

"Do you want me to crush it?"

Asina felt that the master wanted to use this method to test her loyalty.

Qin Chu rubbed his forehead with some resignation, "I’m giving it to you to report back with. Otherwise, coming out this time, with Muse dead, and you having nothing to show for it, Rose Vesper would be suspicious, wouldn’t she?"

"Does the master want me to remain by Rose Vesper’s side?" Asina pursed her lips, somewhat unwilling.

She hated that woman, Rose Vesper.

"Mm, Rose Vesper is hell-bent on killing me. I want to know what’s going on with Rose Vesper’s side."

Since the Soul Fragments of Jie Luo had already been crushed once and could no longer be put back together, and the information in this Fragment had already been deciphered, Qin Chu was not very concerned.

The most important thing was that woman, Rose Vesper, who was very bizarre; he always felt that she was hiding a very terrifying secret.

With this item, Asina would certainly gain the trust of Rose Vesper.

Asina took a deep breath and nodded, "If it is the master’s command, I will comply."

"Also, we will return to the Imperial City separately. Be careful..."

"Rose Vesper seems to have sent Aili and Aileen here, nominally to support you and Muse... But those two women, I always feel there’s something odd about them."

"Especially Aili — she might make a move on you."

Qin Chu cautioned her, feeling that compared to the Lolita twins, Catherine and Asina, the two ’tool people’, were more useful.

In fact, Qin Chu was looking forward to Aili making a move on Asina.

That way, he could stage another drama and eliminate those two women.

...

As Qin Chu had anticipated, Aili and Aileen were also on their way to Snow Mountain.

The Twin Thieves were somewhat dissatisfied with the task arranged for them by Rose Vesper. If it weren’t for Lord Jie Luo, they wouldn’t be willing to go through such trouble.

The two sisters walked side by side, with identical faces. If not for the differences in hairstyle and hair color, one would completely be unable to distinguish them.

Aileen walked slightly ahead, with her sister following behind.

The smiling little face turned to look at her sister’s back, and from time to time, it would take on a hint of dark gloom.

For Aili, her sister was also a rival.

Lord Jie Luo only needed one of them, right? There’s no need for so many girls.
