Chapter 126: Weak Death Knight
Violet stood tall beside Qin Chu, her face icy cold.
An unshakable aura emanated from her entire being.
This was her only reverse scale. The Temple of Storms had been destroyed, and even the Storm Lord she believed in had perished. In this world, the only person Violet cared about was Qin Chu. She wouldn’t allow anyone to harm him.
Even if it was Saint Monique or Augustus themselves, Violet wouldn’t be afraid.
With a hum… black airflow surged around them.
The energy contained within Karsus’s body was forcefully dispersed by Violet’s sudden obstruction, turning into a gust of wind that blew her hair, revealing her slender, swan-like neck. Her blue-gray eyes were filled with killing intent.
Gurgling sounds came from Karsus’s throat. He was never good with words, and now, consumed by anger and resentment, he couldn’t utter a single word.
Violet.
It was this woman again.
The first time he tried to kill Qin Chu, it was this damned woman who stopped him, making him suffer unprecedented humiliation. And now, it was this woman again.
Was she his nemesis or something?
Moreover, Karsus’s broad and sturdy body was right in front of Qin Chu, blocking him from Augustus and the others. They could only see Karsus’s back, not Qin Chu who was hidden behind him.
But Karsus could see him.
That damned bastard, the corners of his lips were curled up. Was he actually smiling at him?
He was provoking him!
Karsus was dull, but it was too easy to provoke him.
His tall body trembled. Dark red flames erupted from his eyes, and the beastly growl suppressed in his throat became more and more ferocious. His mind instantly lost the ability to think.
Killing Qin Chu became his only goal, even forgetting his original intention of just kidnapping him as a hostage.
With a sudden roar, Karsus twisted his body forcefully, unable to free his right hand. He raised his right leg high, and with a sharp whoosh, swept it towards Qin Chu’s neck.
He was certain that if this kick landed, it would directly send Qin Chu’s head flying. This fragile guy couldn’t withstand his power at all.
However, the enraged Karsus had obviously forgotten about Violet beside Qin Chu. And Violet had one characteristic: she was three meters tall, which also meant… long arms.
Violet’s lips moved slightly: True Word Spell.
The next second, her other hand, wrapped in a wind-like halo, shot out with lightning speed, grabbing Karsus’s ankle with a snap.
Karsus’s eyelids twitched. He frantically activated the dark attribute Battle Qi in his body. His entire being was like a Demon King emerging from the darkness, a sinister aura writhing violently around him, like a thick, ominous fog. Only his bloodshot eyes were clearly visible in the fog:
“Violet… You dare to stop me? I’m the Death Knight…”
Then, with a whoosh, Violet’s slender arm exerted a little force, and Karsus’s entire body was lifted into the air. Then, with a bang, he was slammed onto the floor of the sanctuary like a sandbag.
Clang!
His heavy metal armor made intimate contact with the hard floor, the tiles shattered, and the Battle Qi on his body instantly dispersed.
Before Karsus could even move, he was lifted again.
Whoosh… Bang… Whoosh… Bang…
He was lifted again and again, slammed onto the ground again and again. The sound of shattering floor tiles continued, and in a short time, there were hardly any intact floor tiles left in the entire sanctuary hall.
Qin Chu’s expression was even stranger. Watching Violet, like a rampaging giantess, pick up Karsus like a chick and slam him onto the ground repeatedly, he had the illusion of seeing the Hulk smashing Loki in The Avengers.
Karsus wasn’t Loki, but… his fate might be even more tragic than Loki’s. At least Loki was only slammed a few times.
Violet was angry that he dared to attack Qin Chu.
Once, twice, ten times, twenty times…
Qin Chu didn’t know how many times Karsus had been picked up and slammed onto the floor by Violet. He only knew that the hard armor on Karsus’s body was already deformed, and occasionally he could hear strange cracking sounds, as if his bones were being broken.
The flat helmet pressed against his head, blood continuously flowing out from the gaps. At first, Karsus could still let out angry roars, but soon they turned into shrill screams. In the end, he didn’t even have the strength to scream, only whimpering.
The violent scene made Natia, Loseweisse, and Athena’s eyelids twitch. No one expected this woman, who was so gentle just now, to suddenly turn into a female thug.
Augustus’s heart also skipped a beat. The floor tiles! These stones were carefully selected and polished, each one costing a lot of money.
Now he had to redecorate again, which would be another big expense.
But now wasn’t the time to think about this. The four old monsters exchanged glances, and they could all see the shock in each other’s eyes.
Karsus’s rampage was deliberately planned by Augustus.
Actually, Augustus had used a special ability to make Karsus extremely fearful, triggering his beastly instincts. He also deliberately mentioned the word “Hero” several times, just to make Karsus go berserk and attack the Hero.
Otherwise, with Karsus’s dull mind, he probably wouldn’t have thought of taking the Hero hostage.
Their purpose was simple. They just wanted to see how strong Violet was. This was crucial for them to know how to deal with the Hero in the future. But they couldn’t directly attack Violet, so they could only use this method.
But now, the result shocked them.
Although Karsus was stupid, his strength was definitely not weak. Yet, in Violet’s hands, he had no power to resist at all, being tossed around like this.
This woman was far stronger than they had expected. She was probably close to level 90, or even already at that level.
Qin Chu, this Hero, had accidentally brought back an extraordinary character.
While the old monsters were exchanging glances, Violet seemed to have finally gotten tired. She lifted Karsus high once again, and with a bang, the entire sanctuary shook three times, creating a huge crater in the floor.
With a crack, Karsus’s armor finally couldn’t withstand it anymore and shattered into pieces.
The mysterious face that had been hidden under the helmet was finally completely exposed. Unfortunately, no one could tell what he looked like because his face was covered in blood and dirt.
After dealing with Karsus, Violet was finally satisfied. She kicked him in the waist, probably shattering his kidneys, and sent his corpse… no, his body flying towards Augustus.
“Such a weak Death Knight!”
Violet turned to Qin Chu with a sweet smile. The contrast between her previous and current demeanor was so great that it was hard to believe she was the same person.
That expression seemed to be seeking Qin Chu’s praise?
Even in front of so many people, Qin Chu felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn’t disappoint Violet’s expectations. He smiled, “Good job, Violet.”
Violet’s smile became even gentler.
The relationship between the two made the onlookers exchange glances.
Augustus, as the host, took a deep breath to suppress the strangeness in his heart. Looking at Karsus, who was writhing on the ground like a lowly worm at his feet, he couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.
Karsus, the Death Knight, a former member of the Hero Squad.
When he was following the First Hero Jie Luo, even though he was tainted by dark and filthy power, even though his hands were stained with blood, no one dared to judge his crimes.
How glorious he was back then?
But now, he had become so pathetic.
He squatted down and took off Karsus’s storage ring, originally just wanting to see if there was any other evidence of his crimes inside.
However, when Augustus probed the contents of the storage ring, his expression instantly darkened. Then he shook his head and released the contents of the storage ring.
Round heads rolled out, appearing in the sanctuary with its shattered floor.
Over a thousand heads of Holy Knights! They had finally returned to the embrace of the Goddess of Holy Light, but who would have thought it would be in such a tragic way?
Wadsworth, Saint Monique, and Zimmerman also frowned.
No one would feel good seeing so many heads. The entire sanctuary was filled with a strong smell of blood and decay.
If Karsus could still argue that these were all slanders before, now the Death Knight was truly doomed.
Athena’s slender neck twitched slightly. Such cruelty, only a follower of the Evil God would do such a thing…
Loseweisse almost fainted. She didn’t expect that when she asked Karsus to deal with the heads, even if he buried them in a pit, it would have been better than stuffing them all into his ring… He didn’t even bother to throw them away after so long. Now they were caught as evidence, how stupid could he be? You reap what you sow!
“Karsus, do you have anything else to say?” Augustus asked in a cold voice, his face grim.
Karsus’s body just writhed. It was unknown if he heard Augustus’s words, he didn’t respond.
Augustus looked around, “Everyone, what do you think is the best way to deal with this person?”
After all, Karsus was still a former member of the Hero Squad, and Augustus couldn’t deal with him privately.
“Kill him, then bury his body somewhere. Just pretend he never existed,” Wadsworth said in a muffled voice, sentencing Karsus to death.
“After all, a former member of the Hero Squad actually slaughtered Holy Knights who were fighting against the Demon Beasts. If word of this gets out, it will have a very bad impact.”
Saint Monique and Zimmerman also nodded silently, seemingly agreeing with Wadsworth’s opinion.
“No, I have a different opinion.” At this moment, Qin Chu suddenly spoke up.
He could ignore the opinions of others, but Qin Chu was the Hero, after all.
Augustus asked patiently, “What is your opinion, Hero?”
Qin Chu smiled:
“My opinion is… a public trial!”
“A public trial!”
