Chapter 394: Chapter 255: You Want My Body? (2)

Florence returned after her departure, and Qin Chu was not at all surprised.

Considering this woman’s character of placing her son above all else, loving him more than life itself, how could she possibly stand by and let her son suffer here? She would certainly rescue her son at any cost.

It was precisely for this reason that, though Florence had left, Qin Chu’s fingers never once left the head of Onions.

However, Qin Chu had not expected Florence to reappear in such a weird manner.

What was this? Earth Technique? Earth Escape?

Although Qin Chu was not particularly interested in the woman Florence, he was quite intrigued by this ability of hers, but he wasn’t sure whether it was magic or power.

Florence had thought that her surprise attack would surely sever Qin Chu’s arm—or even chop off his entire body—allowing her to successfully rescue Onions.

Florence had already planned that as soon as she succeeded, she would immediately flee with her son, thousands of miles away.

She no longer cared about the position of Church Venerable within the Earth Mother Goddess Sect and would not compete for it any longer.

After all, having gravely wounded or even killed the Hero, Wozworth, and Augustus would not let her go, and even Saint Monica now had sufficient reason to kill her, she would have to flee with her son.

With the world so vast, there would surely be a place for them, mother and son, to settle down.

But what Florence hadn’t expected was that her attack, so concealed and fierce, would also be intercepted.

Florence inwardly cursed her luck.

Clenching her teeth tightly, her body swiftly sunk, trying to merge back into the earth.

But just then, the ground beneath her suddenly began to tremble violently, as if an earthquake had struck, and the earth seemed to turn into a sea, with layer upon layer of waves rolling vigorously.

The people on the ground could hardly keep their footing.

Although Banar was not particularly strong, he had been fighting demons for a long time and his mind and reactions were far faster than others.

Seeing that the situation was dire and that the conflict at hand was completely out of his and his brothers’ league—despite their earlier bold declarations to follow Qin Chu’s orders and push through Qin Chu’s enemies at once—when the time came, Banar immediately gave a command. All his brothers retreated hundreds, even nearly a thousand meters, leaving the vast space to the true powerhouses.

This level of battle was beyond what they, as common soldiers, could participate in.

Against Onions, they could stand their ground, but faced with a Great Sage of Florence’s caliber, thousands of soldiers were simply not enough even to get caught in her teeth.

Compared to the orderly retreat of these soldiers, the performance of the Royal Guard Knights was somewhat worse. Under Morton’s orders, they immediately started fleeing towards the rear in a somewhat disheveled fashion.

As for the clergymen of the Holy Court and the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, they fared even worse, turning their heads and running chaotically, crowding together messily. Coupled with the trembling of the earth, from time to time, some would fall to the ground due to instability. Before they could get up, countless footsteps trampled over them from behind.

What a joke, it was a fight of Level 80 and above; if they didn’t run, were they supposed to stay and wait for death?

Florence’s face turned pale as she was just thinking of hiding deep within the earth when a strong wave of magic suddenly came from below.

With her son’s head still in Qin Chu’s palm, Florence had no way to save her son, and with the threat from below, she had no choice. Biting down hard on her silver teeth, her body soared out from beneath the ground sharply.

The next instant, a surge of intense flames erupted from below. If Florence had been a moment slower, her body would likely have been engulfed by the raging flames.

Though Florence herself was unharmed, the ground above where Onions lay was not so lucky; the scorching flames engulfed half of Onions’ body, turning the lower half into charred blackness.

Onions’ body trembled from the excruciating pain, and he was tormented so much that he emitted a series of muffled howls.

While the flames also covered Qin Chu, such an attack couldn’t harm him at all.

Watching her son’s miserable condition from the sky, tears fell from Florence’s eyes like raindrops, but she knew it wasn’t the time to be heartbroken. She stretched her arms out to the sides.

A yellow-rock Magic Shield immediately materialized around her.

Rock Armor!

A high-ranking Earth Defense Magic.

The spell could be large or small.

Large enough to guard the whole body.

Small enough to only protect the heart!

It was one of the Earth Defense Magics that could be cast in the shortest time, with the strongest defensive capability.

Florence knew well that, as a Magician, if she didn’t take proper defensive measures, once a powerful enemy came close, her fragile body would likely be torn apart instantly.

Her mind was racing, calculating every possible strategy to rescue her son, regardless of the cost, even if it meant death.

While there were still other powerful experts around, the detestable Qin Chu remained the greatest enemy. Every moment, he threatened her son’s life, and if she could not defeat Qin Chu, she would never be able to save her son.

What a pity that Florence didn’t have much time to ponder these complicated issues as, with a whoosh, a tall figure had already closed in on her at a bizarre speed.
