Hero? Are You Worthy?-Chapter 364 - 234: The Ring that Controls the Snow Woman (1)

Chapter 364: Chapter 234: The Ring that Controls the Snow Woman (1)

Helois sobbed softly.

Watching the flames that enveloped the prince, Helois also hoped he could let go of her. It didn’t matter if she died, as long as the prince could survive.

Even though that’s what she thought in her heart, she couldn’t help but feel a bitter ache.

But, perhaps Helois couldn’t be blamed for this.

After all, when Diaberlic abandoned Helois, he did so with such decisiveness. Watching the Fire Python rising from the ground, despite his considerable strength, he chose not to intercept or resist at all. He simply released Helois, abandoned her, and let his childhood sweetheart be engulfed by the crimson magma.

If, at that time, Diaberlic had shown even a hint of hesitation or a sign of pain, Helois might not have felt so terrible, and the sense of being discarded wouldn’t have been so strong.

Perhaps, this is just how women are.

Helois sniffed forcefully through her delicate little nose, lightly biting her lip with her white teeth. She prepared to look around for any chance to escape this place.

Being temporarily alive merely delayed her impending death. The intense heat from the molten rock above was kept at bay by an invisible barrier, but the heat could still seep through. The entire space was a giant furnace. The oppressively hot environment was like a slow poison to a Snow Woman.

At that moment, a frivolous voice suddenly came from behind her.

"It looks like you’ve been abandoned by your companions, how pitiable," the voice said.

Helois’s fair cheeks went pale in an instant as she abruptly stood up from the ground, her small head turning towards the direction the voice came from.

Her body tensed, instinctively ready for battle, trying to summon her Magic Power. However, to resist the scorching magma, she had nearly depleted all her Magic Power. Now, suddenly standing up, she felt so lightheaded that she nearly fell.

In the direction the voice came from, under the glow of the red-hot magma, a face appeared before Helois.

Upon recognizing that face, Helois’s heart sank. It could be the worst encounter possible.

Standing before the Snow Woman was Hero, Qin Chu, the one who had previously held her.

On one side was the formidable Hero. On the other side was the Demon with exhausted Magic Power. One didn’t need to ponder the outcome of such an encounter.

Moreover, seeing the relaxed demeanor of Qin Chu suggested he hadn’t suffered much damage when swallowed by the magma. He even still radiated fluctuations of Magic Power.

Helois’s ice-blue gaze stealthily scanned her surroundings, seemingly searching for an escape. Sadly, there was none.

Without Magic Power and with depleted Physical Strength, she had no chance to flee from the Hero.

Helois watched Qin Chu warily, uncertain of what the detestable Hero would do. She didn’t have a favorable impression of the Hero... It was because of him that Prince Diaberlic had rebuked her.

Moreover, although it was her who had accidentally thrown herself into his arms... but now, thinking back, that guy’s hands seemed to be not very "obedient."

And now they were both trapped in this place...

The Snow Woman was frightened. Her pale little face lacked any trace of color, and her body seemed to be trembling faintly.

Many terrible scenarios appeared in her mind.

She had heard that among Demons, Enchanting Demons and Snow Women were popular pets and slaves among powerful human elites. Those corpulent swine would treat Enchanting Demons and Snow Women like pets, slaves... Because of their horrendous price, there were even humans who braved great risks to infiltrate Demon territories to capture young Enchanting Demons and Snow Women.

Would she be treated in the same way by this Hero?

She had heard it was terrible.

If that were the case, she might as well melt in the magma.

But the Hero’s reaction puzzled Helois. After approaching a certain distance, Qin Chu stopped and didn’t continue closing in. He seemed completely indifferent to Helois’s guarded attitude.

"Oh, by the way, what’s your name?" Qin Chu raised an eyebrow and asked the Snow Woman. "Earlier, I heard that Prince who abandoned you calling you something... Hel, Helois, wasn’t it?"

Unintentionally, Qin Chu deepened the Snow Woman’s memory of being abandoned by the prince.

The Snow Woman pursed her lips and said, "Helois."

Her voice was pleasant, crisp like the clinking of ice crystals.

Speaking of which, Helois was quite disheveled at the moment. Her ice-white gown, which had almost touched her ankles, had been burnt away by the Fire Python, leaving bare her full and long, pale legs under the glowing reflection of the overhead molten rock.

Her neatly combed hair was now somewhat disordered, with a few ashes clinging to the ends.

The scorching temperature was very uncomfortable for her, making her cheeks sickly pale.

Her breathing became somewhat rapid, and her eyes conveyed urgency.

Helois had to leave this place as quickly as possible; otherwise, the high temperature alone would be enough to melt her.

Qin Chu noticed Helois’s condition and, after a brief thought, understood the situation. With a flick of his finger, a strand of cold air entered Helois’s body.

The Snow Woman’s condition improved greatly, and she looked at Qin Chu with a mixture of suspicion and perplexity, wondering why the Hero would help her. Indeed, the Hero’s strength was formidable; even when engulfed by magma, his body still contained tremendous Magic Power.

"Thank you..."

Helois expressed her gratitude.

To be honest, if you didn’t know Helois was a demon, you couldn’t even tell her apart from a human woman...

If you had to point out something unusual, it might be her delicate, flawless skin that seemed too perfect to be human.

She was also very polite. Despite being in absolute opposition to each other, she still offered her thanks for Qin Chu’s help.

"Don’t mention it."

Qin Chu cut the conversation short again.

Perhaps it was the atmosphere around them, so oppressive that Helois felt uncomfortable. The Snow Woman took a deep breath, ready to find another topic to break the silence, "By the way, where are your companions?"

"Weren’t you all engulfed by the magma together?"

Companions?

Ah, she must be talking about Antia, right?

At the moment of being devoured, Antia had burrowed into Qin Chu’s belly.

The magma, though fearsome, had no effect on Antia; despite having been burned to death, perhaps it was for this reason that Antia also possessed the power to manipulate flames.

"She will appear very soon..."

Qin Chu had not finished speaking when he suddenly noticed Helois’s eyes flashing violently.

Her pupils seemed brighter than usual.

She looked as if she had discovered something extremely important, her ample chest heaving rapidly, and in the next second, Helois almost subconsciously lunged in a certain direction.

Following Helois’s gaze, there lay a silvery white ring.

Now that he thought about it, he seemed to have seen it on Diaberlic’s hand before.

But the unfortunate Prince, having been stealthily attacked by Qin Chu from behind, had his physical form completely shattered, and his limbs and flesh were subsequently swallowed by the flames and magma surging from the ground.

Flesh and bones had all been erased, leaving only these two rings, which, even in the scorching heat of the magma, remained unfused, falling into this underground space.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, it appeared there was a similar ring on Helois’s slender fingers, likely a matching pair.

Could this be the wedding rings of Helois and Prince Diaberlic?

Just as Helois reached the ring, suddenly, with a hiss, a dark red Long Spear came whistling from the side. freewёbnoνel-com

Right in front of Helois, the spear’s tip pierced through the hole in the ring and stuck into the ground.

Helois instinctively stopped in her tracks to see a petite girl beside her, who glanced at her coldly, walked up to the Long Spear which seemed disproportionally long for her height, and yanked it out.

Then with a casual flick, the silvery ring flew through the air and landed securely in Qin Chu’s palm.

"You see, my companion has appeared very quickly," Qin Chu shrugged with a smile, playing with the ring in his hand as he spoke.

As Helois watched the ring fall into Qin Chu’s hands, her face turned even paler, knowing full well what would happen if Qin Chu discovered the purpose of the Master and Servant Ring.

Almost uncontrollably, Helois let out a slightly sharp cry and lunged at Qin Chu, "Give me back the ring..."

Watching the Snow Woman fling herself toward him, Qin Chu instinctively said, "Stop..."

Squeak...

The Snow Woman, who had been rushing over, came to an instantaneous halt, obediently fixated to the spot, motionless.

The expression on her face was one of utmost urgency.

Huh?

This obedient?

The reaction from Helois made Qin Chu’s face take on a puzzled expression.

He carefully inspected the small ring in his hand, then lifted his head to look at Helois not far in front of him.

Originally, Qin Chu thought that, since the ring was so important to Helois, it might just be her wedding ring with Prince Diaberlic, and he might have considered returning it to her if it were merely a simple wedding ring.

But now, it seemed the ring was more significant than he had imagined.

He could feel that as soon as the ring rested in his palm, a subtle connection had already formed between him and Helois. Helois’s panic also seemed exceptionally abnormal.

Qin Chu’s eyes narrowed, thoroughly checking for any traps, then in the panic-stricken gaze of Helois, he slipped the ring onto his finger.

Instantly, that connection became much clearer.

And the color drained from Helois’s face to an extreme degree.

With that, it was over.
