Hero? Are You Worthy?
Chapter 853 - 1 with 4000 words)_2
Where exactly has something gone wrong?
Rose Vesper was very certain that there was absolutely no issue with the drawing of the Magic Array, the placement of the Soul Fragments, or even the frequency with which the Hero's Blood was dripped.
During the long period before performing the Resurrection Technique today, Rose Vesper had tested this process countless times, and her body had already firmly memorized every step by heart.
At this moment, Rose Vesper suddenly glanced at Catherine and Asina on the opposite side. Could it be that the blood provided by these two wenches is the issue?
That, too, seems impossible.
Catherine and Rose Vesper cannot be unaware that the opportunity to resurrect Jie Luo is only this one time.
Even if the two of them were at odds with her, they would definitely not joke about the matter of resurrecting Jie Luo, unless these two women no longer hold Lord Jie Luo in their hearts.
Moreover, the look on their faces seems quite off as well.
Their gazes were filled with fear and shock, and occasionally looked at her with even hatred.
Even though these two women are already unable to talk normally, Rose Vesper, thinking she was smart, believed she had already seen through their thoughts.
Were Catherine and Asina suspecting that she tampered with the Magic Array?
If they can suspect her, that should mean they're clear of issues.
But even so, those who must die still have to die.
Originally, Rose Vesper had planned after the Resurrection Technique began to activate the Magic Trap beneath Catherine and Asina's feet, suppressing their Magic Power and Fighting Energy while they were distracted.
Then have Aili attack from behind, working with herself to easily reap their lives.
Now it seems that even without her intervention, these two wenches are doomed.
Of course, Rose Vesper did not intend to give these two women too many opportunities.
These two women—Catherine is powerful, Asina is cunning—if given enough time, who knows what might happen; it's better to let them die early, isn't it?
As for the Resurrection Technique Magic Array… it's definitely alright.
After all, it's just a scroll.
Although the content recorded on the scroll is quite plentiful, it cannot possibly detail every single aspect.
Buzz…
At this time, a weird movement suddenly came from overhead.
Rose Vesper instinctively looked up, only to see a scarlet chain overhead suddenly disappear.
Rose Vesper's throat moved slightly, perhaps, when all six chains break, Lord Jie Luo would return in front of her.
Time is increasingly pressing, not only must Catherine and Asina be killed, but their corpses, the blood on the ground, and Aili the puppet must all be dealt with.
Thinking this, Rose Vesper did not hesitate. Her gaze slightly lowered; even though her height was slightly smaller than Catherine and Asina, at that moment she looked down at the two women.
A smile full of evil intent appeared on her face.
The curve at the corner of her mouth could not even be controlled.
"Asina, Catherine… I'm sorry."
"You've made great sacrifices, countless contributions, for resurrecting Lord Jie Luo."
"However, Lord Jie Luo can only be mine." Readaheadandgetupdatesbyvisiting*.
"I'll always remember you two."
Even amidst chaos, Rose Vesper's voice still clearly pierced into the ears of Asina and Catherine.
Two women already in agony, their pupils trembled violently, silently shouting that things are bad, and hurriedly trying to retreat.
But at that moment, Rose Vesper suddenly snapped her fingers.
Accompanying the crisp sound of the snap, a layer of drab grey light instantly emerged beneath Catherine and Asina's feet, dense grey mist swirling, enveloping their bodies.
The Magic Trap was activated.
Catherine and Asina, who were about to flee, suddenly felt their internal Magic Power and Fighting Energy being suppressed, their bodies swayed, nearly falling to the ground.
This was no fake weakness; it was genuine frailty.
In the instant they lost their strength, a figure appeared from behind like a ghost.
Buzz…
Sharp claws directly tore through the air, accompanying a piercing sound, the claws heading for Catherine's head.
It was Aili.
Another force Rose Vesper had been harboring finally took action.
Seeing the sharpness of the claws, once they gripped Catherine's head, it seemed the head would instantly have several blood holes.
As Aili sprang into action, Rose Vesper did not stop either, her toes lightly tapping the ground as her body flew directly towards Asina.
Once a Holy Daughter indeed, yet at this moment revealing a side entirely incongruent with the title: in her delicate hands appeared a Red Battle Axe, heading straight to chop Asina's head.
Although Rose Vesper's action was slightly slower than Aili's.
But the speed of the axe's blade was even faster than Aili's, with a swoosh, seeming to split the night sky between them with a scarlet gleam.
In almost an instant, the two attacks were already simultaneously before Catherine and Asina.
The excitement within even twisted Rose Vesper's face into something quite grotesque.
They're doomed.
These two women couldn't possibly survive.
But at this moment, Rose Vesper suddenly noticed with shock that there was no trace of fear whatsoever on Asina's face, her mouth even hinted at sneer.
Is she mocking her?
Asina's expression nearly drove Rose Vesper insane.
Her body shivered crazily; she couldn't grasp why Asina, already on the brink of death, dared to ridicule her. How could she?
In the next moment, Rose Vesper understood.
Just as the axe blade and Aili's claws were only inches away from Catherine and Asina's heads, a sudden change occurred.
Swoosh…
A gentle white light abruptly burst forth from Asina and Catherine's bodies.
The white light rapidly coalesced together, like a silver bell.
Whoosh!
As the claws tore through, a burst of sparks directly erupted.
The claws which should have directly drilled several blood holes on Catherine's head were so effortlessly blocked.
The Battle Axe chopping on the silver bell further erupted into vigorous booming.
Ripples spread on the silver bell, yet the massive axe blade couldn't advance even half an inch, let alone split Asina into two.
Phew…
Next moment, a strong counterforce arrived, forcing Rose Vesper's body to uncontrollably stagger backward.
Her complexion suddenly turned pale, arms numbed, fingers shaking relentlessly, hardly able to grasp the axe handle.
Seeing ahead the two bodies basked in white light, Rose Vesper was shaken.
This is impossible… is this the Magic Shield?
Yet this Asina woman, whose Magic Power should've been exhausted, how could she still cast magic?
Not just that, under the protection of magic, the agony on Catherine and Asina's faces vanished instantly, the torment previously brought by the Evil God seemed to have evaporated.
"Rose Vesper, you indeed harbored ill intentions." Asina patted the dust off her robe, uttering with a cold smile.
At this moment, both sides finally and utterly ripped off their masks.
Rose Vesper's lips quivered slightly, her face extremely gloomy: "Asina, you vile woman, what have you done again?"
"Me? I've done nothing at all." Asina smiled broadly, her previously pale face gradually regaining its rosiness.
At this time, a melodious voice suddenly rose from the forest behind:
"Rose Vesper, long time no see, how have you been lately?"
