Hero? Are You Worthy?-Chapter 345 - 220 Don’t Speak, Kiss Me (2)

The long spear was unusually thick.

The spearhead was about half a meter long, and the handle was as thick as a normal adult man’s arm, entirely forged from extremely hard metal, and it looked very heavy, yet its speed was incomparably fast.

The spear tore through the air, emitting a buzzing sound.

Where the long spear whistled past, it seemed to whip up a ravaging tornado, instantly shattering the trunks of the large trees nearby, with wood chips flying all over the sky.

What a spear, fierce as a dragon.

Although the long spear was thrown from a great distance, under such rapid speed, it almost reached Qin Chu’s back in an instant.

Ireta’s expression changed slightly, just as she thought to intervene.

A golden light suddenly burst out from Qin Chu’s body.

The light instantly formed a huge shield, protecting Qin Chu and Ireta within.

Pseudo Absolute Defense.

This was the first time Qin Chu had used the Power he had plundered from Benson.

The next instant, the spear that whipped up the stormy gale slammed into the shield formed by the Pseudo Absolute Defense with a loud bang.

Following that, there was a rumble like an earthquake, the ground underfoot trembled violently, and the rampant impact spread in all directions like waves.

The fallen leaves, broken stones, dead branches, and all the green grass and large trees within a few tens of meters were instantly shattered.

Fine dust, along with the fierce impact, spread out far away.

The ground revealed dense cracking.

The might of one spear, terrifying to this extent!

The sneak attacker’s strength was truly extraordinary.

However, even against such powerful force, the effect of the Pseudo Absolute Defense was still impeccable, only causing the faintest ripples on the golden shield.

Qin Chu had coveted this Power for a long time; though it had drawbacks like inability to move and vulnerability to attacks from below the ground, its defensive power was truly explosive, especially effective in sudden ambush situations like this.

Not to mention, it also enhanced physical strength and the recovery of fighting energy.

Perhaps it was because of those flaws that there was the prefix "pseudo"; otherwise, it would have been a genuine Absolute Defense.

This was also the first time Qin Chu had used this Power since he had plundered it from Benson.

A smile was on Qin Chu’s face, but his gaze was cold as he swept behind him, catching sight of several figures in the distant moonlight.

Demons?

Qin Chu frowned slightly.

He could tell at a glance that the figures under the moonlight were not human.

The leader was four meters tall, not as exaggerated as Luo Meng, but still far beyond the height a normal human could reach.

Clad in bright silver armor, the gaps revealed iron-hard, coiled muscles; the physique was barely proportionate.

With a face as handsome as jade, even by human standards, he was decidedly handsome, not with a frail beauty, but rather exuding a wild and masculine aura.

His eyes were crimson, with thick, black hair cascading down his back.

Golden war boots under his feet.

His entire outfit, how should I put it, was quite flamboyant.

Following him were several oddly shaped demons, one of which had a human face, but eagle-like claws for feet, and its arms were the powerful wings of an eagle, eyes swollen and exuding malice and venom.

This was a human-faced eagle, a particularly troublesome type even among demons.

Another man, who looked almost indistinguishable from humans except for his elongated, sharp eyes and occasionally forked tongue.

Not a common demon like snake-men or gorgons, but a Snake Spirit, more human-like than ordinary snake-men, capable of spewing corrosive poison mist from their mouths.

There was also a massive ape covered in brown fur; this was the Fierce Giant Ape Catherine had once fought.

Human-faced eagle, Snake Spirit, Fierce Giant Ape... Each was a high-level being among the demons, and all these high-level demons were merely followers of this young man.

This also indicated how astonishing the identity of this demonic young man was.

Second Prince of Demons!

Edrich!

Upon seeing his face, Qin Chu had already recognized the identity of this demon.

A violent and powerful prince, not as foolish as Luo Meng.

One of the strong contenders for the next Demon King.

But what had this guy just called himself?

A rebel?

Qin Chu didn’t understand, how dare you, a demon, call me, the Hero, a rebel? Where do you get the nerve?

It seems Edrich might not yet know about his Hero identity, right?

Although he had unmasked from Horus’s disguise when facing Ronald, to let Ronald clearly know who had doomed him, he had not yet met Edrich.

But now, looking at Edrich’s fiery eyes, it seemed as if he harbored deep personal grudges like the murder of a father or the theft of a wife.

Where did this inexplicable hatred come from?

Seeing Edrich appear, the Daughter of Death, Ireta, seemed somewhat frightened, subconsciously inching closer to Qin Chu.

She liked Qin Chu a lot.

This wasn’t love.

It was because Qin Chu’s soul gave Ireta a very comfortable feeling.

Qin Chu’s soul, like the sun in the sky, emitted a bright and fiery light. Ireta had encountered many souls, most of them filthy and dirty.

Even the so-called good people, the so-called heroes, harbor filth in their souls; it’s just a matter of how much. Their souls may shine brightly but not as brilliantly as Qin Chu, like the sun in its full splendor.

Watching Qin Chu torment, humiliate, and slaughter Ronald, Ireta knew that Qin Chu was not entirely pure either. There must be a dark side in his soul, and yet the light there was strong enough to suppress all the darkness.

That light even managed to suppress the endless resentment that had accumulated in Ireta over a thousand years, the constant burning, corroding, and hurting of her soul and body, making the pain significantly less.

The feeling was very comfortable for Ireta, and she hadn’t felt this comfortable in a long time.

She even felt her heart, which seemed not to have beat in a thousand years, showing signs of rhythm again.

And Ireta’s display of intimacy and dependency on Qin Chu, in the eyes of the Second Prince of Demons, Edrich, made this handsome prince twist with jealousy, his eyes blazing with fires.

His throat heaving with rapid breaths, he let out a suppressed roar of anger:

"Bastard, get away from Miss Ireta!" freewebnøvel_com

Just then, Ireta took a deep breath, suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around Qin Chu’s arm; her soft, lifelike body, although no longer beating, pressed directly against Qin Chu.

Qin Chu’s arms were wrapped at Ireta’s chest, a pity they couldn’t cover it all.

Their relationship suddenly became even closer.

Edrich’s body violently trembled.

Qin Chu had already figured out what was happening—he was being used as a human shield in this melodramatic scene.

Sure enough, the next second Ireta mustered the courage to address the distant Second Prince Edrich, "Edrich, this is my boyfriend... I already have a lover, so stop bothering me now."

Edrich looked as if he had been severely struck, his complexion turning extremely ashen, his lips trembling unstoppably.

Qin Chu even felt a bit sorry for him.

"Miss Ireta..." Qin Chu touched his nose, not pushing away Ireta’s arms: "Could you tell me in advance next time? So I can be mentally prepared."

Ireta’s face was full of apology: "I was about to say something just now but didn’t have the chance..."

"Please, Mr. Brave, help me out here."

Ireta pleaded in a soft voice.

Edrich, this Demon Prince, certainly has good taste.

Although one is a demon and one is a human, this combination is a bit odd. But to put it another way, one is a demon and the other is a Witch, the strangeness immediately disappears.

"Mr. Brave, can you just play along temporarily? I didn’t originally intend this, but I hadn’t expected Mr. Brave to be able to withstand the influence of Death Aura, which is why I thought of this."

Ireta placed a small hand on her chest, her large watery eyes looking up at Qin Chu.

That look was very deadly.

Strangely enough, the same action coming from Rose Vesper felt contrived and nauseating to Qin Chu, but with Ireta, it felt...

Really cute!

There was a sense of her being pitifully adorable.

That made it utterly impossible for Qin Chu to refuse, and with a deep breath, he very reluctantly agreed.

"You just mentioned that the Prince and Second Prince Edrich are both trying to expand their own strength and influence. The Prince is planning to subdue the Fiery Flame Witch. Could Second Prince Edrich be setting his sights on you?"

Ireta nodded with bitterness, "Actually, Edrich has been harassing me for a long time."

"It happened years ago when I was purifying souls on the battlefield and Edrich happened to come across me."

"This Second Prince of Demons outright declared his love for me and wanted me to be his bride..."

"I was shocked by his words and immediately ran away, but who could have guessed that from then on, he would keep pestering me."

"I thought he would give up after a while, but it’s been several years now, and Edrich is still relentlessly pursuing me."

Ireta’s face was full of distress.

"Isn’t Edrich afraid of your Death Aura?" Qin Chu asked curiously.

"He is, but his strength is strong, and his spiritual power is high. Although he can’t be completely immune like you, he can resist it to a certain degree and is one of the few who can approach me," Ireta responded.

But he can only approach; touching, like Qin Chu, is absolutely not possible, as the Death Aura would take his life immediately.

Pausing for a moment, Ireta pouted her lips, muttering, "So annoying."

If Edrich were to hear these words, "So annoying," it’s unknown what sort of heartbroken state this guy would be in.

Although he didn’t hear it, at least he could see the intimate whispering between Qin Chu and the woman he adored, which made Edrich’s jealousy and anger almost drive him mad.

His body was convulsing violently.

This guy, it seems, probably... really didn’t just fancy Ireta’s strength, it seems he truly fell in love with Ireta.

Seconds passed, and whether Edrich was stimulated by the scene he witnessed or something else, he started laughing maniacally like a madman:

"Hahahaha... I’ve realized it."

"Ireta, I’ve understood everything."

"This man, you must have brought him just to deceive me, right?"

"I know, in the human world he would be called... a ’decoy’... Yes, a decoy, that’s right, isn’t it?"

"Still trying to deceive me... It’s pointless, Ireta, you don’t need to hide, no matter where you hide, even to the ends of the earth, even to the Hell Abyss, I will find you, in this life, you are destined to be mine..."

"As for this man... Though he is just a decoy dragged in, since he dares to be so close to Miss Ireta, I will still kill him, using the most brutal methods."

Edrich issued a somewhat twisted declaration.

It must be said, Edrich’s perception is indeed very sharp. He could sense this, which slightly shifted Ireta’s pretty face.

Ireta wanted to completely rid herself of Edrich’s harassment, her silvery teeth gently biting her lips, seemingly making a significant decision in her heart.

A few seconds later, Ireta’s slender body elegantly spun, appearing directly in front of Qin Chu, her lotus-like arms wrapping around Qin Chu’s neck.

This confused Qin Chu, "Miss Ireta, what are you..."

"Don’t speak, kiss me..."
