Chapter 375: Chapter 242 Helois is Awesome (4)

```

Looking at the intensely burning magma above his head, thick as molten iron, Qin Chu’s eyes revealed not a hint of fear.

A hazy Holy Light radiated from his body, even enveloping Helois, who stood beside him within the protective embrace of the light, shielding them from the searing heat around. The feeling of almost melting that the Snow Woman had been experiencing finally subsided at that moment.

This made Helois somewhat grateful to Qin Chu. Her former master, Diaberlic, would never have shown such concern for his subordinates, not even her or Iyeta, who were childhood friends with him.

As for Antia, she had already retreated back into Qin Chu’s body. Although Antia was not afraid of the molten lava’s scorching heat, she still found being inside Qin Chu’s body more comfortable.

After making all necessary preparations, Qin Chu grasped Helois’s slender hand. The sudden touch made her heart flutter, and she instinctively tried to pull away, but Qin Chu held on, not giving her a chance to break free.

Immediately after, their bodies floated up like feathers and plunged into the scalding magma, letting it flow closely past their bodies, with the protective barrier of Holy Light compressed to a mere thin layer.

It appeared incredibly fragile, yet it kept out all the intense heat.

Qin Chu pulled Helois’s delicate body into his arms, and they slowly ascended through the magma.

...

Around the collapsing mountain range, a large number of demons had already set up traps and prohibitions.

Prince Diaberlic’s figure floated in the air, accompanied by his most trusted confidant, Iyeta.

Especially after Helois’s death, Diaberlic paid even more attention to Iyeta.

After all, of the two childhood friends, now only one remained.

Looking at the dense array of traps and magic restrictions below, a twisted smile involuntarily appeared on Diaberlic’s face. Setting aside whether the Second Generation Brave Warrior was already dead,

even if he was alive, this terrifying array would surely slay him. Even if the Second Generation Brave Warrior was truly powerful, these fearsome traps could take his life.

And with so many subordinates around, eight level 80 demons, and nearly a hundred high-level demons over 70 levels—what tremendous strength was this?

With such a massive and powerful array, Diaberlic felt like shouting: the advantage is mine.

No, ’the advantage is mine’ can’t even begin to describe it.

Rather, with such a situation before him, how could he possibly lose?

If he were to lose, it would be an affront to the natural order.

Qin Chu couldn’t turn the tide; he didn’t have the strength!

Right now, Diaberlic actually sincerely hoped that Qin Chu hadn’t died. That damn shameless bastard who had ambushed him from behind should be crushed by his own hands to settle the score.

"Congratulations, Prince..." Iyeta offered her timely congratulations beside him: "This time, even if Qin Chu is still alive, he cannot escape."

"Someone’s about to have bad luck," Prince Diaberlic’s expression grew more smug.

He was quite cautious in his thinking, but this time, the advantage was too great, and he could not see the slightest possibility of defeat.

Time passed, and Iyeta’s expression suddenly changed.

She seemed to sense something and descended from the sky, pressing her temple against a rock, as if listening to some noise.

Prince Diaberlic did not find Iyeta’s reaction strange; the Blood Elf race was naturally extremely sensitive to magic, and in terms of magic perception, Iyeta was stronger than him.

"Iyeta, what have you sensed?" Prince Diaberlic asked with a sinister voice.

"Reporting to Your Highness, under the collapsed boulders, I seem to detect an extremely weak magic fluctuation..." Iyeta responded immediately.

Prince Diaberlic’s eyes narrowed to slits.

Though not only the Hero had been buried by the collapsed mountain peak and the magma, but also his own subordinates and the Fiery Flame Witch,

Prince Diaberlic was convinced that this magic presence must surely belong to the Hero.

"So, that guy is, indeed, still alive."

His anticipation grew; what would that guy’s face look like when he finally crawled out from underneath, thinking he had escaped death, only to face countless prohibitions and magic traps the moment he believes he is safe? It would certainly be fascinating.

His body even began to tremble slightly.

"Huh? He’s stopped," Iyeta said with a frown.

"What the hell? What on earth is that guy doing?" Prince Diaberlic frowned, his tone dissatisfied, his excitement interrupted.

Iyeta shook her head slightly: "The magic fluctuations seem to be getting stronger. It’s as if he’s fighting something in the magma..."

Prince Diaberlic grew more irritated; couldn’t Qin Chu have encountered the Fiery Flame Witch in the magma? He couldn’t have been killed by her; this bastard could only be killed by his own hands to satisfy his grudge.

And they waited like this for two hours.

Prince Diaberlic grew increasingly restless, the suppressed anger in his chest mounting ever more intensely.

Just when Prince Diaberlic was about to completely lose patience, Iyeta’s expression changed, and she instantly flew away from her previous position.

The next moment.

A loud boom echoed.

The collapsed boulders were blasted away in an instant.

The scorching magma erupted like a volcano from deep within the ground.

There, a trap was instantly destroyed by the boiling magma.

But Prince Diaberlic did not care; his gaze was filled with twisted flames, and his lips curled into an ugly gap, staring fixedly at where the magma surged forth.

Sure enough, within that rolling magma, one... no, two figures gradually appeared.

If it wasn’t Qin Chu, who else could that man be? He was indeed still alive!

Only, in Qin Chu’s arms was unexpectedly a woman dressed in an ice-blue gown...

```

The woman’s delicate beauty bloomed like a flower, her skin as exquisitely crafted as ice, her petite face flawless.

This... if not Helois, then who?

The Prince had wanted to see Qin Chu fall into the Magic Trap in an embarrassing state, but to his surprise, instead of witnessing Qin Chu’s disgrace, he saw Qin Chu embracing Helois.

Helois was still alive?

How could that fiery lava not have melted the Snow Woman?

Diaberlic’s heart first leaped with joy and then immediately filled with the rage of being cuckolded.

Helois had always been beautiful; her original ice-white dress paired with her hair of the same color was both elegant and beautiful, but now her long hair seemed somewhat disheveled.

Her long dress had become a short one.

A section of her white thigh, her gracefully curved slender leg, and her snow-white jade foot were all exposed.

Her small hand was hooked around Qin Chu’s neck, her soft body leaning against Qin Chu’s chest, and even her delicate cheeks were faintly flushed with a crimson hue.

What exactly... had these two been doing down there?

Diaberlic’s face instantly turned a deep red, his anger surging to his head, almost causing the Prince to lose control.

His mind uncontrollably conjured up various scenarios.

These two damned bastards, they couldn’t possibly have done this and that in that scorching lava, could they?

Damn it, damn it, damn it...

A woman he had never touched.

His fists clenched tightly, his knuckles crackling.

He saw more clearly that Qin Chu was wearing a silver ring on his finger, the ring that controlled the Snow Woman.

Diaberlic immediately realized that Qin Chu had become Helois’s new master... Fortunately, Qin Chu was only wearing one ring, and the control of Iyeta had not been taken away by Qin Chu.

The surrounding crowd of demons also saw this scene; they pointed and whispered among themselves, the rustling sounds filling the air, all wondering what exactly was going on, how it was that the Prince’s Quasi-princess had fallen into the arms of Mr. Brave.

Jealousy and anger almost drove Diaberlic mad:

"Helois..."

"You shameless whore, why didn’t you kill yourself? Are you trying to humiliate me on purpose?"

The Prince’s furious roar turned Helois’s pretty face pale. She knew that upon reuniting, Diaberlic would be extremely angry, but this wasn’t her fault.

She had merely been engulfed by the lava and made to wear the ring symbolizing her new master’s identity by Qin Chu, unable to resist his commands.

But instead of being happy that she was still alive, Diaberlic even rebuked her for not committing suicide... These words turned Helois’s lingering thoughts for the Prince into ashes.

In her heart, Helois even felt a vengeful impulse. One hand hooked around Qin Chu’s neck, her pale lips lightly kissing Qin Chu’s mouth before she stared at Diaberlic with some resentment:

"Diaberlic, you no longer have any right to command me. You and I are no longer anything to each other,"

"Mr. Brave is my new master now."

They... they... how could they kiss right in front of him?

Seeing this, Diaberlic, whose possessiveness and jealousy were extremely strong, felt as if his chest had been hammered viciously.

Especially considering that the childhood friend he had never even touched, known to all demons as his woman, had been taken by a hero, and the possibility of being mocked by his brothers, by the other demons...

His heart seemed compressed to its limit, then suddenly inflated again.

Pff...

The Prince couldn’t hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

This guy, he’s even pettier than the Prince.

Qin Chu felt a bit of pity.

Still holding Helois in his arms, without putting her down, he swept his gaze around the many demons watching them, his eyes narrowing: "To think you’ve arranged so many trash to deal with me..."

"Prince, are you perhaps looking down on me too much?"

As he spoke, Qin Chu casually took two steps forward.

He had to deliberately fall for it, to dispel any suspicion from Iyeta.

Just as he stepped forward, the ground suddenly erupted with dark red flames, rolling up rapidly.

Like the black flames gushing from Hell, they were about to engulf Qin Chu and Helois in an instant. Watching this, the Prince’s twisted face finally revealed a weird smile.

Ha ha ha, be arrogant.

You don’t have much time left to be so.

However, that boastful smile stopped abruptly.

Watching the ground spewing flames, Helois just snorted disdainfully. She didn’t even bother to move away from Qin Chu, her hand waved and a burst of ice-cold aura spread towards the flames.

Crack, crackle.

The ground sprouted oddly shaped ice cones.

The rolling dark red flames were all sealed by the ice.

The first Magic Trap was easily thwarted.

Keep in mind this was a location specifically chosen by Iyeta, supposedly the safest. Otherwise, why would Iyeta have laid there on the rock for so long?

Qin Chu was very satisfied with Helois’s reaction. One hand around her long leg and the other lightly tapping her forehead, he said:

"Helois, well done!"
