Hero? Are You Worthy?-Chapter 103 - 83 Conspiracy, Pawn or Player? (2)

The First Generation Brave was killed in front of the ten members of the Hero Team. Why didn’t the team members collect the Soul Fragments when the Hero’s soul had just been shattered?

And how did the members of the Hero Team survive?

Qin Chu personally fought against Nag and was very aware of how terrifyingly powerful Nag was. He was the strongest opponent he had ever faced. Without Shaye’s nearly invincible ability, Nag would be even more terrifying than Shaye.

Although the members of the Hero Team were quite strong, they couldn’t last more than a few moves in front of Nag. The gap between their strengths simply couldn’t be bridged by numbers.

Faced with Qin Chu’s question, Catherine was stunned as well, even the movement at her feet slightly slowed.

She had never thought about this question before.

"Soul Fragments... At that time, it seems that the members of the Hero Team were only shocked by the sight of the First Generation Brave being killed. They had no time to pay attention to anything else."

Catherine thought for a moment and continued, "Because everyone was enraged upon seeing the Brave being torn apart, they immediately launched an attack on Nag."

"But, the Hero Team’s attack couldn’t even break through Nag’s defense."

"What’s weird is that Nag didn’t kill the members of the Hero Team. He just withstood their attacks, retreated, and disappeared into the Abyss," Catherine tilted her head slightly.

"Perhaps, Nag had been gravely injured in the fight with the First Generation Brave."

That was Catherine’s answer, but Qin Chu felt that things were not that simple.

Nag was no simple character. Even if he was left with little strength, killing the members of the Hero Team wouldn’t be difficult at all.

What a pity, the clues were still too few.

Merely from Catherine’s description, the First Generation Brave had given his all for the Sky Dome Continent, even sacrificing himself to avoid greater casualties. What kind of spirit was that?

Absolute good person, right?

It seemed normal for him to be so revered, but that was by people from other worlds. For the people of the Sky Dome Continent, that was absolutely impossible. Qin Chu himself had given his all for this world, and he still ended up being killed, hadn’t he?

Qin Chu would never forget the scene of his public trial.

The attitude of the Hero Team members towards the First Generation Brave seemed weird no matter how one looked at it.

Speaking of which, surrounded by so many beautiful girls for such a long time, the fact that the First Generation Brave hadn’t touched any of them meant either he was a true gentleman or he was under some kind of constraint that prevented him from doing so, unable to act.

Moreover, the scene where the First Generation Brave was killed by Nag was the most disturbing to Qin Chu... It felt as if the First Generation Brave had rushed to his death.

The doubts were mounting.

Qin Chu took a deep breath to calm himself.

"Where did the scroll for reviving the First Generation Brave come from?" Qin Chu asked.

"Rose Vesper said it was obtained from a mysterious person."

And who was this mysterious person?

The scroll also seemed off.

If you were to say there’s a scroll containing the Resurrection Technique that could revive the First Generation Brave, that would still be normal.

But the Resurrection Technique recorded in this scroll seemed specially prepared for reviving the First Generation Brave.

Qin Chu couldn’t help feeling that from the moment he was summoned to this world, he had been drawn into a massive conspiracy. Even his summoning to the Sky Dome Continent seemed to have occurred under the manipulation of some force.

Rose Vesper thought of herself as the strategist, but in reality, she was just a piece on the board, perhaps even the smallest pawn.

Catherine wasn’t sure if her answer had satisfied her master and was somewhat trembling in fear, but she couldn’t help it—her memory was very vague, much of it just broken fragments, unable to be pieced together.

Upon noticing Catherine’s complexion, Qin Chu smiled, "Catherine, don’t worry. Your answer satisfies me."

Relieved by these words, Catherine sped up once more.

Qin Chu, however, called out to Shaye to inquire if she had seen the Hero die with her own eyes.

To this question, Shaye repeated her previous response. She had not seen the First Generation Brave die. She only saw his soul shattered by the Demon King Nag, the fragments scattering in every direction.

This too was particularly weird. Why hadn’t Nag devoured the First Generation Brave’s soul?

It was known that for Low-level Demons, human flesh was food, but for top-level demons, souls were nourishment.

Was it really as Catherine had said, that Nag was severely injured at the time, lacking the strength to attack the members of the Hero Team or to chase after those Soul Fragments?

If that was really the reason, it would also explain why the demons hadn’t launched a large-scale attack. After all, the Demon King was injured, creating an opportunity for the Second Generation Brave Warrior to grow.

Various complex thoughts appeared in Qin Chu’s mind, but he found it hard to organize them. Perhaps, only when he got a Fragment of the First Generation Brave’s Soul and read its memories could Qin Chu unravel some of his puzzles.

The four’s speed increased further, and they didn’t notice when the skies had gradually darkened. At this moment, the Oville Empire Imperial City was long out of sight behind them, and they had covered at least two to three hundred kilometers in their rapid escape.

```

As the sky darkened, Catherine and Rose Vesper showed no signs of stopping; they seemed to be charging straight in one direction.

Nadia’s brow furrowed deeply, and she could no longer hold back.

A whirlwind arose beneath her feet.

Her speed suddenly increased as she intercepted Catherine.

Catherine, who had been running at high speed on the ground, came to a sudden halt.

After urging her Fighting Energy forward in a mad rush for the entire day, anyone else would have been exhausted by now, but Catherine’s complexion was still rosy, without the slightest hint of paleness, and the Fighting Energy inside her was still abundant and fervid.

Behind her, Rose Vesper also noticed the commotion and quickened her pace slightly.

Her breathing was a bit hurried, and beads of sweat dotted her forehead, but no one knew whether this was Rose Vesper’s true state or just a facade.

With a solemn expression, Nadia’s cold gaze swept over Rose Vesper and Catherine, "Where exactly are you planning to take Mr. Brave?"

If they were just looking for demons, the area around the Oville Empire Imperial City, though thoroughly cleared, still harbored weak demons a little farther away. They didn’t need to run this far. Nadia should have realized something was wrong long ago, except she had been distracted while flying.

She had been pondering a very serious question all this time: was she actually in love with Qin Chu?

According to Louisa, when Qin Chu touched her, her heartbeat would speed up, and she would yearn for further touch, constantly thinking about him—that should mean she had fallen in love.

Yet why was it that when Qin Chu rejected her, her heart felt so calm? There was no sadness, no pain, just a very flat feeling.

It has to be said, Nadia’s mastery over Magic Power was truly remarkable.

Being able to fly at extremely high speeds while using Magic and still multitask; unfortunately, Nadia thought about it all day and still couldn’t figure it out, ultimately she simply gave up on thinking.

Only then did Nadia realize the sky had already darkened! She might not care about other things, but she couldn’t allow Mr. Brave to be in danger, after all, the Brave was vital for the survival of the entire Sky Dome Continent.

Even Rose Vesper, Catherine, and Qin Chu felt it was odd; this woman had flown with them all day and only now realized something was wrong? Could she be that slow?

Rose Vesper was clearly prepared and not panicked:

"Please don’t be angry, Sister Nadia. We have no intention of harming Mr. Brave. We just want to show him the truly powerful demons, to let Mr. Brave understand how cruel this world can be. Without enough mental preparation, a Mr. Brave experiencing the battlefield for the first time could be very dangerous," Rose Vesper said calmly.

No need, I’ve already learned how frustrating this world can be.

Nadia was skeptical, "Truly powerful demons?"

"Nag’s seventh son, Luo Meng!"

"There’s news that Luo Meng has appeared in the Cavanias Mountains."

Nadia’s pupils shrank dramatically; a strong rage bubbled up in her calm heart as she glared at the two members of the Hero Team. "Luo Meng? Have you gone mad?"

"The current Mr. Brave is no match for Luo Meng..."

That was a top-level demon, with a strength of over Level 80, stronger than the ordinary members of a Hero Team. Were these two crazy women trying to lead Mr. Brave to his death?

"I know..." Rose Vesper said unhurriedly, "But, isn’t Sister Nadia here? I believe you will definitely protect Mr. Brave."

"Moreover, there’s me and Catherine, and another member of our Hero Team has already appeared near the Cavanias Mountains, the immovable Benson!"

"The four of us are enough to confront and even annihilate Luo Meng..."

"Sister Nadia must know that although the demons haven’t launched a large-scale attack recently, the Human Alliance has still been retreating step by step. We urgently need a victory. With Mr. Brave having arrived and vanquished the son of the Demon King, I believe we can surely boost morale."

"And it will also allow Mr. Brave to witness what a real battlefield is like."

Although what Rose Vesper said seemed to make sense, Nadia still felt something was off; the story had too many holes. She was just about to protest when Qin Chu spoke, "Actually, I am quite curious to see what the strong among the demons look like... However..."

"Could someone first tell me what all that is?"

Qin Chu blinked, pointing ahead.

In front lay an endless desert.

Under the illumination of the silvery moonlight, one could clearly see spots of dark green light, endless like the vast starry sky, countless.

As the three women saw that scene, each of them couldn’t help but widen their eyes. Gradually, the ground began to tremble, and the dense green lights were approaching.

The air was filled with a fishy smell and a suffocating aura, and the oppressive roars spread like muffled thunder over the land.

Finally, when they had drawn closer to a certain extent, everyone could see clearly.

There, on the boundless Gobi desert, were densely packed, possibly tens of thousands or even more than a hundred thousand, huge figures...

Minotaurs!
