Chapter 104: There, There, It’s Alright
Violet’s voice had become distorted.
Her beautiful face was contorted with a grimace. It must have been extremely difficult for her to regain her sanity for a short time in the afternoon. Even during that brief moment of lucidity, she was still battling the madness deep within her heart.
She craved the Seed of Life. Only the nourishment from the Seed of Life could soothe her tormented soul that had endured countless agonies.
Violet’s grip was so strong that Qin Chu felt like his neck was about to snap. It hurt a little… but only a little.
Facing the almost insane Violet, Qin Chu didn’t feel even a shred of fear. If he had only thought he could contend with the Storm Witch before, now he was full of confidence.
Looking at Violet’s attire, Qin Chu knew his previous guess was right.
The black gauze fluttered in the wind.
Violet had prepared for this, but Qin Chu used a rather unfortunate method, forcing her to continue waiting in agony. She had waited for over a thousand years, her patience long since worn thin. Now, even a two-hour wait was unbearable for her.
She mocked Anthea, thinking that Anthea didn’t know how to obtain the treasure right beside her, but how much better was she herself? She desperately kissed Qin Chu’s face, but didn’t know what to do next.
She became more and more confused, more and more anxious, more and more uncomfortable, more and more crazy…
The dark red thread-like patterns on her fair face seemed to spread even more fiercely due to her anxiety and madness.
Originally, Qin Chu was a little resistant to Violet… It wasn’t that Violet wasn’t good-looking or that her figure wasn’t good enough. After all, Violet was the Saintess of the Temple of Storms a thousand years ago. Both her figure and appearance were impeccable.
It wasn’t that Qin Chu wasn’t confident in himself either. But… how should he put it? Violet was three meters tall!
But now, seeing Violet like this, Qin Chu even felt a little sorry for her. If this continued, Violet’s consciousness would truly collapse.
Coupled with the effects of the Moonflower pollen, Qin Chu finally sighed and took the initiative.
…
Qin Chu found that he had been completely overthinking it.
Although Violet was three meters tall, she wasn’t much different from girls like Ekaterina and Angelica.
Although she was a ghost, Violet’s existence was very special. Her spirit body could bring sensations almost indistinguishable from a real person.
However, the development of the situation was somewhat beyond Qin Chu’s expectations.
He had thought that Violet would calm down, but her condition worsened. The remaining rationality in her eyes was quickly being devoured, and the traces of madness became more and more intense.
In her near-insane state, Violet couldn’t control her strength at all. Her fingers almost sank into Qin Chu’s neck.
The damage to his neck was instantly healed by Holy Healing.
The speed at which Violet destroyed was far slower than the speed at which he healed.
Her three-meter-tall body completely suppressed Qin Chu, her grip on his neck tightening, as if she was about to break it.
Violet’s guess was wrong. The Seed of Life couldn’t soothe her soul. Her craving for it was merely an undead’s instinctive yearning for life.
If it were just like this, Violet would forever be a lunatic, her chaotic consciousness never to be pacified.
Until finally, she completely devolved into a crazed Witch.
“Bloom…”
Violet’s crazed face froze for a moment, “What did you say?”
“Holy Light!”
He once again became light.
Perhaps, only the Holy Light could purify the pollution in Violet’s soul.
Intense white light burst out from Qin Chu’s body like sharp swords. If someone were watching from a different angle at this moment, they might think Qin Chu had turned into a hedgehog covered in white thorns.
That is, if their eyes weren’t blinded by the white light.
The bright light dispelled the darkness in the temple, piercing through the walls that had stood for over a thousand years. The cold air outside surged in through the holes pierced by the white light.
Violet, who was on top of Qin Chu, bore the full brunt of the Holy Light’s eruption.
Her eyes widened in shock, filled with an indescribable emotion.
Then, with a shrill scream, Violet’s body was directly blown away by the impact of the Holy Light, her tall body crashing heavily to the ground.
When Qin Chu learned that Violet was already dead, that the current Violet was a ghost, the fear in his heart completely disappeared. Because the Holy Light he wielded was the bane of all ghosts and monsters, and the former Saintess of the Storm Lord was no exception.
This had been personally tested by Anthea during the first time he used it, and the effect was extraordinarily good.
Although both were Holy Light, Qin Chu’s Holy Light seemed to be a level higher than the Holy Light of the Holy See, and its destructive power was even more exaggerated.
With this move at his disposal, Qin Chu had a means to counterattack even against a completely insane Violet.
If Violet could return to normal, Qin Chu wouldn’t be willing to use Holy Light to harm this Saintess who had persisted for a thousand years.
However, Violet’s situation surprised Qin Chu.
It wasn’t that the damage from the Holy Light’s eruption wasn’t enough. On the contrary, because Violet was still holding Qin Chu’s neck, she had taken almost the full force of the Holy Light at such close range.
Her thighs, abdomen, chest, and even her beautiful face had traces of being pierced by light swords. The power of the Holy Light was still burning Violet’s spirit body, continuously producing wisps of white smoke, making the Storm Witch’s current appearance even more terrifying.
Her spirit body had suffered severe damage.
If she took a few more hits, she might even dissipate directly.
But Violet wasn’t afraid like Anthea was before. Instead, her eyes revealed a kind of excitement and madness that made Qin Chu’s hair stand on end.
Even though the Holy Light was still shining like the bright afternoon sun, and Violet’s body was continuously suffering more and more serious injuries, she seemed completely oblivious to her own situation.
She didn’t care that she was covered in dust, only staring obsessively at the bright Holy Light in front of her, letting it pierce through her eyes.
Even though her body could no longer stand, she still crawled forward on the ground, her hand reaching out as if trying to touch something.
Her lips parted slightly:
“Light, it’s light…”
After so many years.
She finally saw the light again, the Holy Light.
The Temple of Storms was bone-chillingly gloomy at night and dimly lit during the day.
She hadn’t seen such bright light for over a thousand years.
This light was so warm, so warm that she felt like her soul was about to melt in it. Her eyes seemed to see another world.
It was heaven.
The oracle of the Storm Lord before his demise once again surfaced in her consciousness.
Find the inheritor of the Holy Light, follow Him, serve Him, give the power of the storm to Him, and He will lead you to find light in the darkness!
She inherited the seed of hope, and she had to pass it on.
She had only sensed the aura of the Seed of Life on Qin Chu and wanted to plunder it, to use its gentleness to soothe her pain. She didn’t expect that Qin Chu also possessed the power of the Holy Light.
Violet’s eyes were filled with a crazy obsession. She stretched out her hand, trying to grab the light. Even though her fingers were mercilessly melted by the light, she didn’t stop. She wanted to get closer to that blazing heat.
Suddenly, Violet cried.
Like a little girl who had lost her mother.
After a thousand years, a thousand years of waiting, she had finally waited.
Who could know how much torment she had endured during this long time?
Who could know how many times her will had collapsed, how many times her faith had crumbled? But Violet was the seed of hope, unable to tolerate giving up on herself. She picked up her will again and again, and collapsed in despair again and again, like an endless cycle.
She had thought that she would never wait until the day she completely broke down, until her consciousness dissipated.
But now, the responsibility she had been carrying had finally come to an end. This endless cycle would end at this moment.
Violet was just a ghost, a spirit body without a real physical body. She shouldn’t have tears.
But at this moment, two muddy tears rolled down her cheeks that had been pierced by the light sword.
That scene seemed to have a strong impact on Qin Chu’s heart.
He took a deep breath and finally dispersed the light around him.
The Holy Light was no longer harming Violet, but she seemed to have suddenly lost her soul. Her broken fingers waved desperately in the air, trying to catch the dissipating light:
“No, don’t…”
“Don’t disappear…”
She screamed, and then, without even standing up, she crawled quickly towards Qin Chu on all fours. Light, she wanted light.
Even if she was burned to ashes by the light, she wanted it.
Anthea separated from Qin Chu’s body, her spear aimed at Violet, seemingly worried that the crazed Violet would harm Qin Chu.
There was no master-servant relationship between Anthea and Qin Chu, but staying by his side made Anthea feel very comfortable, so she wouldn’t allow anyone to harm him.
Besides, the fact that her spear throw had been caught by Violet last time still bothered Anthea. It had become a knot in her heart. She was confident that she would never lose to this Storm Witch.
“Anthea, there’s no need,” Qin Chu sighed and said.
Anthea hesitated for a moment, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. In the end, she still took a step back.
And Qin Chu walked straight towards Violet.
Anthea wanted to stop him, but Shaye shook her head at her, signaling that it was better to leave this matter to Qin Chu.
Actually, Shaye also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The powerful magic she had been meticulously preparing was finally put down.
This was Shaye’s ultimate move, the Gate of Darkness, which could directly banish her opponent to the abyss of endless darkness.
But, if she used this move, all the energy Shaye had recovered so far would be completely depleted, and she would fall into a deep sleep within Qin Chu’s body… Well, although this power was originally parasitic on Qin Chu, she had taken a share of every bit of experience and energy he gained.
Qin Chu walked towards Violet step by step. Looking at the Saintess who was no longer as beautiful as before, crawling on the ground in panic, he slowly reached out and held her head in his arms.
Violet subconsciously struggled desperately.
Qin Chu patted Violet’s head gently as if coaxing a little girl:
“There, there… it’s alright…”
Qin Chu comforted her gently, his voice so warm.
…
But his eyes were cold!
Violet was just a pitiful tool, being used.
Faintly, he felt like he was being calculated, which made him very unhappy.
