Hero? Are You Worthy?

Rose Vesper was filled with fear and panic.

Her gaze involuntarily fell upon the Resurrection Technique Magic Array.

If it were in Rose Vesper's nature, she would definitely have fled in such a situation, but now she absolutely couldn't run away... If she did, Qin Chu could destroy the Magic Array, and then Jie Luo could never be resurrected.

But even if she stayed here, she feared she couldn't stop Qin Chu's steps.

For a moment, Rose Vesper was caught in a dilemma and grew increasingly anxious.

If Lord Jie Luo could truly be resurrected, with his strength, perhaps he could still have a chance to fight.

Qin Chu merely glanced at Rose Vesper indifferently, a smile on his face. From his demeanor, there was no intense animosity one would expect from enemies meeting, but rather he seemed like someone out on a leisurely excursion.

The thoughts in Rose Vesper's mind were all too clear to Qin Chu.

"Hehe..."

Qin Chu chuckled lightly, "Rose Vesper, rest assured, I won't kill you right away."

"Nor will I destroy this Magic Array."

"What I had Asina give you was indeed my blood, and I really want to see what kind of monster this Resurrection Technique will bring back to life."

These words were beyond Rose Vesper's expectation, and she looked at Qin Chu somewhat dumbfounded.

She had been worried that Qin Chu was just using words to lower her guard, perhaps planning to strike the next second when she was unprepared, but to her surprise, Qin Chu seemed genuinely uninterested in taking immediate action.

Instead, he leisurely headed towards Asina and Catherine, and when he was a few meters away from them, he lightly tapped his foot on the ground, and an invisible wave spread out, instantly destroying the Magic Trap she had left on the ground, leaving nothing behind.

The pressure applied on Catherine and Asina immediately dissipated, and Magic Power and Fighting Energy once again surged within them.

Asina's complexion returned to its rosy hue, no longer as pale as before.

Rose Vesper's lips twitched slightly; damn, this woman was indeed pretending.

She had been deceiving herself from the very beginning, and Rose Vesper had even considered her as her best sister... The more she thought about how she had been fooled by Qin Chu for so long, the angrier Rose Vesper became.

Surely every time Asina contacted her, Qin Chu must have been nearby, listening to her voice, and laughing heartily at her foolishness.

After the two women returned to normal, they immediately walked over to Qin Chu's side, and with the protection of the Holy Light he released, they could also withstand the erosion from the Void.

Having ensured everything, Qin Chu simply stood quietly at one side of the Resurrection Technique Magic Array, with a smile on his lips, watching the Magic Array in front of him with great interest, making no moves. He genuinely had no intention of acting.

What a joke, killing Rose Vesper right now, how could that let this malicious woman taste true despair?

The real delicacy always has to be reserved for the end to be savored. Qin Chu was in no hurry; he had plenty of patience to wait.

Rose Vesper bit her lower lip, trying hard to suppress the disgust in her chest. Her fingers clenched tight, her long and sharp nails even piercing her palms, causing drops of crimson liquid to drip along the edge of her hand onto the ground.

She was praying in her heart, praying that God would bless her and allow Lord Jie Luo to be resurrected.

Once Lord Jie Luo is resurrected, he will definitely be able to kill all these bastards in front of her, kill them all, leaving not a single one behind.

Those who betray Lord Jie Luo have no right to exist in this world.

Whew...

Just then, a gust of eerie wind blew through.

The second crimson chain in the sky above disappeared.

Aside from Qin Chu, no one knew what these chains were for.

Not long after, the third chain vanished.

The speed at which the chains disappeared seemed to be gradually increasing.

The disappearance of each chain seemed to agitate Rose Vesper's sensitive nerves, her body involuntarily trembling, and a gasping sound coming from her throat.

She was certain that once the last chain vanished, Lord Jie Luo would surely be reborn on the Resurrection Technique Magic Array.

The fourth one.

The fifth!

Finally, the last chain was gone as well.

Rose Vesper's eyes widened to the extreme, her eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

Like a madwoman, her face twisted with a smile, her gaze fixated on the center of the Resurrection Technique Magic Array, her lips muttering like a lunatic.

She even instinctively took a combat stance, because in Rose Vesper's view, with Qin Chu's shameless nature, he would definitely strike and wipe out her hope the moment Lord Jie Luo was resurrected.

But gradually, the expression on Rose Vesper's face became puzzled and perplexed.

All six chains had disappeared, yet Jie Luo's figure had never appeared in the Resurrection Technique Magic Array.

She didn't understand what was going on.

And that wasn't all, for the dark red light above the Magic Array was also rapidly dimming, the thick blood sea in the sky gradually dissipating, and silvery moonlight shining down again.

"No... no... no..."

To Rose Vesper, the scene was like a long-chased hope, so close at hand, slipping away with the wind.

Rose Vesper couldn't help but scream, shaking her head furiously.

She was like a frenzied madwoman, wildly waving her little hands, trying to grasp the fading light... But light, how could it be so easily caught?

Finally, the last trace of light disappeared from the Magic Array.

Rose Vesper stood dazed in place, her face full of indescribable panic.

Is... is this it?

This couldn't be possible.

She couldn't accept that after working so hard for so long, enduring so much hardship, the Resurrection Technique Magic Array would end in such an anticlimactic way.

Could it be that the Resurrection Technique failed?

No!

Rose Vesper laughed a bit hysterically, the Resurrection Technique must have succeeded, it must have.

Lord Jie Luo just wasn't here, he must have been resurrected somewhere else... Ah, yes, like the place where he was summoned to this world, the mountaintop of Wise Mountain.

Or perhaps it was where Lord Jie Luo fell.

Yes, that must be it, if she just went to those places to search, she would surely see her lover's face again.

Seeing Rose Vesper sitting on the ground, crying and laughing, was she driven neurotic by the stimulus? How pitiful...

But the more it was like this, the more excited one felt. How could that be?

Qin Chu felt that perhaps something was wrong with himself too.

Of course, Qin Chu would never stop because of this.

Revenge could almost truly begin.

"Tsk... Rose Vesper, it seems your Resurrection Technique failed."

"Jie Luo seems never to be able to return to you, how sad," Qin Chu shrugged, speaking with a hint of pity.

Qin Chu felt he was genuinely pitying the woman in front of him, but Rose Vesper didn't seem to appreciate it. She seemed angered by Qin Chu's words.

Rose Vesper suddenly lifted her head, glaring at Qin Chu with angry eyes, "Bastard, don't talk nonsense."

"The Resurrection Technique didn't fail, absolutely not." Rose Vesper's voice became hoarse, her once-clear voice turning raspy, "Lord Jie Luo is just... resurrected somewhere else, that's all it is..."

"Oh... It's a pity, wasted a bottle of my blood." Qin Chu didn't correct Rose Vesper's mistake.

But he chose a crueler way, unveiling the bloody truth bit by bit for Rose Vesper.

"Rose Vesper, face reality, the Resurrection Technique failed... Or rather, from the start, the Resurrection Technique was never destined to succeed."

"Didn't you know, Jie Luo's Soul Fragment... had seven pieces!"

"You only have six pieces, how could you resurrect?"

Buzz!

In an instant, Rose Vesper's body trembled violently as if struck by lightning, her face as white as a sheet!

Seven... seven pieces?
