Hero? Are You Worthy?

Chapter 739: Chapter 512: If I Kill You, I Become the Hero (2)_2

The two chatted casually, seemingly relying on their formidable strength, they completely disregarded the ice plains, showing not a hint of vigilance.

It was as if the two were not here to deal with the disaster at the Ice Duchy, but rather on a trip to the countryside.

Suddenly...

Below Qin Chu, two dark glimmers of light emerged.

The sheen was dark and profound.

Being under the ice, one wouldn’t even notice without looking closely.

Those two beams seemed to be staring at the two people above them, and nobody knew what sort of beings those two lights represented. Gradually, the lights began to disperse slowly and, unknowingly, they coalesced into the shape of two eyes.

Below Qin Chu and Antasia, inside the glacier, there lurked a sinister being.

Its gaze emitted gloom and coldness, like the world’s most venomous snake, exuding savagery.

To Qin Chu and Antasia, who had no vigilance atop the glacier, the owner of the gaze offered nothing but utter disdain and mockery... these two, and one of them was even revered as a Hero in the Sky Dome Continent?

This kind of stuff, what right did they have to the title of Hero?

Rather, someone as careless and vague as Qin Chu surviving until now in this terrible world is simply miraculous.

Such idiots should have died long ago.

Aside from the cold, was there no other danger?

Oh, Goddess of Destiny above.

Hearing this foolish statement, it nearly burst out laughing.

As a qualified Hero, how could one utter such dreadful words? Since that is the case, it shall harvest this fool’s life itself, after all, the Sky Dome Continent really does not need too many Heroes.

Just below those dark pupils, a crevice gradually formed, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth.

It was a brilliant yet ferocious smile.

In the sight of this eerie being, Qin Chu was no longer a living being but a cold corpse.

In the next instant, a flash of cold light appeared.

Right beneath Qin Chu, the ice layer exploded instantly.

Five sharp claws, glistening with a chilling cold light, reached directly for Qin Chu’s buttocks.

Damn...

In that moment, Qin Chu couldn’t help but curse.

His perceptual ability was strong; he had long been aware of the movements under the glacier, yet he did nothing rashly. Instead, he was quite interested in the being prowling under the ice layer.

The opponent seemed like an assassin... This aroused Qin Chu’s curiosity; whose side was this fellow on?

Demon? Human? Church? Void Seven Uglies? Or was it Moile who thought he was disobedient and sought to break free from the shackles of destiny?

Qin Chu had anticipated that it wouldn’t be long before the creature launched its attack on him, but he had never imagined that the attack would be so bizarre, targeting his buttocks?

Was this move perhaps learned from the African spotted hyenas?

Isn’t that a bit too shameless?

Qin Chu was well aware that an attack of this level could hardly cause any real damage to him.

Yet in that instant, his body involuntarily dodged swiftly to the side while his right hand waved, pushing Antasia away with a gust of wind.

Hisss.

The eerie sound of tearing air exploded next to his ear.

The ice layer was torn apart, and sharp air currents flew across.

Amidst the flying ice shards, the peripheral vision clearly spied a monstrous and eerie claw, like that of a demonic wild beast.

It was like a human’s five fingers, only replaced by sharp nails.

The skin tone at the palm and wrist was not that of normal human flesh but replaced with a layer of metallic, eerie skin, even densely covered with fine scales.

People with claustrophobia would probably go insane just by looking at it.

But Qin Chu wasn’t flustered at all. He lightly tapped his toes on the drifting ice shards, sharply retreating. Almost simultaneously, out of the scattered ice shards in the air, a crazed figure flashed by, leaving a sharp streak slashing past Qin Chu’s chest, nearly gutting him by just a hair’s breadth.

However, it was exactly this slight miss that left Qin Chu unharmed, not even his clothes were torn.

Among the swirling ice shards, that figure became increasingly clear.

Qin Chu’s pupils constricted slightly, and with a glance out of the corner of his eye, he signaled Antasia to back away a little.

He truly hadn’t expected to be attacked here, especially by such a... weird being.

Was it a human?

It seemed so.

It had parts similar to humans.

Like a head, an upright torso, limbs split into arms and legs... all very similar to humans.

But, other parts were starkly different from normal humans.

Not to mention the hands full of sharp claws and the skin covered with scales, its head was the shape of a normal human’s, but the skin had a bizarre metallic luster; above its two eyes, there were another pair of weird compound eyes that looked like those of some odd insect.

Both the larger and smaller pairs of eyes were pitch black, like the dense apocalypse, exuding a heart-palpitating madness.

Its face was utterly void of any emotional fluctuation, gaunt and cold.

The scales, glinting with a metallic sheen, trailed from its neck down to its chest, abdomen, resembling a venomous snake.

The body wasn’t bulky, even appearing somewhat lean, overall streamlined, giving off a very agile and sharp feel at first glance, but beneath the dense scales, muscle contours were still distinctly visible.

There was no doubt, this slightly slender body possessed explosive strength too.

In comparison, the legs were slightly more robust, filled with the power like that of a cheetah.

The feet and hands were similar, both exhibiting the morphology of a wild beast.

What kind of monster was this?

A demon?

This was Qin Chu’s subconscious feeling, as demons often looked bizarre and grotesque. In comparison to many demons, this creature’s form wasn’t even that hard to accept.

But Qin Chu quickly rejected this thought.

Within those four weird eyes of this mysterious being, Qin Chu could clearly sense a flexibility in thought unlike ordinary demons.

Most importantly, around this man’s waist, there even was... a pair of shorts made of hide, covering his most private parts...

A sense of modesty.

This was absolutely absent in most demons.

Excluding the Snow Woman and Blood Elves, and other royal demons, nearly all other demons, even those with high intelligence, lacked this sense of shame; they didn’t mind exposing their bodies at all.

A strong physique, for demons, tended to attract the attention of the opposite sex more easily.

Moreso, armor-like objects that covered the body were more a restriction to demons, even affecting their ability to exert their greatest strength.

Though his body was covered with ugly scales, each scale was cleaned thoroughly.

The pursuit of cleanliness and tidiness was also something demons did not possess.

Through these details, Qin Chu felt that this strange and bizarre fellow in front of him was even more like a human than a demon.

His dark eyes scrutinized the figure before him, and Qin Chu’s curiosity about this fellow’s origins deepened.

"Just who are you?" Qin Chu asked coldly, taking a deep breath.

He was sure, the assassin in front of him was a being with high intelligence.

As expected, the weird assassin suddenly cracked a sinister smile, revealing a chilling smile, along with a harsh and unpleasant voice, akin to metal scraping:

"You don’t need to know who I am."

"As long as I kill you, I will be the hero... You only need to know this much; that’s enough!"
