Hero? Are You Worthy?

The waning Magic Power horrified Donald, as he felt his body rapidly deteriorating. His once well-maintained skin wrinkled in an instant, revealing numerous depressions.

On the other side, Qin Chu was a completely different sight. His abundant Magic Power continuously flowed into his body, transforming into his own strength, causing his spiritual power attribute, closely related to Magic Power, to leap continuously on his panel.

The devoured Magic Power also drove the increase in Experience Value; his level was slowly rising.

Almost every second, Qin Chu could feel himself growing stronger, and he found this sensation incredibly exhilarating.

The anomaly on this side also caught the attention of others around, their gazes turned here, not knowing exactly what was happening, only to see Donald struggling desperately.

The chaotic flow of Magic Power even disrupted the banquet's Magic Lamps, causing the lights to flicker, shrouding the entire scene in an eerie atmosphere.

Donald's eyes had become murky; his body trembled like it was electrified, and beneath his skin, something seemed to be wriggling, continuously forming weird bumps.

"Mr. Brave, what are you doing… do you really want to kill a noble of the Empire in front of everyone?" Donald lowly growled, attempting to use his noble status to stop Qin Chu.

Unfortunately, these words were of no use to Qin Chu: "Silence, abomination."

"I could tell at a glance you are not human."

This statement caused Donald's pupils to contract violently, the worst had happened. Although he did not know how this man had done it, Qin Chu had clearly discovered his identity as a Demon.

He was in a desperate situation.

Either drained of Magic Power by Qin Chu and wither away.

Or reveal his true form and be killed by the other powerful figures around.

Either way, it seemed the outcome of death was inevitable.

Wozworth frowned deeply. Although he did not like Donald––this Earl did not have the noble lineage, merely a merchant whose ancestors had paid a hefty sum for the title––such a "noble" was indeed regarded as filthy in the eyes of those who highly valued heritage and bloodline.

But he was nevertheless a noble under the Royal Family, and Wozworth could not allow Donald to be murdered by the Brave.

After a moment of hesitation, Wozworth stepped forward, ready to stop Qin Chu.

Just then, a glimpse of madness flashed in Donald's eyes. He reached toward his waist and swiftly drew out a sharp Dagger coated with a luminous poison, stabbing towards Qin Chu's heart.

As despair breeds courage.

He was doomed anyway, and if he could take the Brave down with him before dying, it would be a great accomplishment. Even in death, he would enjoy immense glory.

This scene caused many around to cry out in alarm.

Angelica's face drastically changed, and she rushed forward, trying to push Qin Chu away, no longer caring about what might happen to herself.

Wozworth, Saint Monica, Augustus, and others reacted similarly; no matter their personal feelings towards the Brave, one thing was clear—they still needed the Brave's strength to fight the terrifying Demons. The Brave absolutely could not die at this moment.

The Thirteen Sages wore expressions of similar horror; if Qin Chu were assassinated now, they would be powerless to summon a second time within three years. By then, the entire Sky Dome Continent might have fallen under the Demons' iron hooves.

Nadia's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Only Rose Vesper's eyes gleamed with intense madness, "Die, die, die…" At this moment, she no longer cared about what would become of the Sky Dome Continent.

She only wanted to see Qin Chu die before her eyes.

Some powerful figures tried to help, but Qin Chu, standing right in front of Donald, was closer and faster. The increased level brought about growth in Attributes, granting Qin Chu considerable strength.

Qin Chu's right hand shot out like lightning, and just as the knife was about to pierce through his chest, it suddenly stopped, less than an inch from his heart.

Donald's wrist was caught, and no matter how desperately he struggled, the knife could not advance further by even half an inch.

That tiny distance seemed like an insurmountable abyss to Donald; the glory of assassinating the Brave was within sight, yet forever out of reach.

The next second, Qin Chu suddenly exerted force on his arm, and a cracking sound was heard as Donald's wrist was twisted and broken by Qin Chu.

The intense pain caused Donald to let out a piercing scream, an extremely shrill and harsh sound that was not human at all, his entire body trembling violently.

Immediately after, Qin Chu's wrist twisted, and Donald's broken palm along with the knife in his hand spun around, leading to a hissing sound as the knife blade tore through Donald's throat, revealing a ghastly fissure, from which a thick white liquid instantly sprayed out, staining the ground with a large patch of sticky substance.

In the lavish banquet scene, where delicately prepared dishes emitted enticing aromas, the scent of that thick white substance instantly enveloped the hall in a pungent, nauseating odor, completely overpowering the smell of food.

An unknown number of noble young ladies, their flat bellies churning, no longer cared for noble decorum, doubled over in a corner, vomiting; the smell was just too revolting.

As his throat was torn apart, Donald's life came to an end, and the transformation, devoid of Magic Power's support, was quickly undone.

Beneath the glorious gown remained only a long, rod-like object, with dense white mucus still flowing incessantly from beneath the gown.

At this moment, anyone could understand there was something odd about Donald.

Wozworth furrowed his brow tightly and gave a glance to the nearby guard, who quickly stepped forward, holding back his disgust, and moved the gown aside.

When they saw the object inside the gown, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.

What kind of oddity was that, if not a thick white worm?

Measuring twenty centimeters in diameter and about a meter in length, one could clearly see the dense white viscous liquid beneath the semi-transparent skin. The body bore a long wound from which fluid was continuously leaking, and the wrinkled skin was still squirming endlessly. It looked utterly like a giant maggot, with only the top left with a slit that seemed to be its mouth, inside which were spiral serrated fangs.

This thing was not terrifying, but it was extremely disgusting.

"An Illusion Demon..." Saint Monica furrowed her brow, her plain, flat abdomen subtly heaving beneath the pure white gown, clearly she was also feeling unwell.

"How did you discover it?" Augustus was more concerned about this point than Donald's demon identity, given that even the three of them with the strongest levels hadn't detected Donald's true form, but the newly summoned Brave had spotted it immediately.

This made Augustus more wary of Qin Chu.

They hoped to use the strength of the Brave to combat the demons, but that didn't mean they fully accepted the Brave's presence; a Brave was hope, but also a threat.

All eyes in the room were fixed on Qin Chu, all eager to understand how he had discovered it.

Qin Chu was composed and straightforward, facing the crowd's gaze, he spoke the lines he had prepared earlier, "Because I possess two Super Order Powers, one of which is known as 'Ally of Justice'."

"As long as I walk the path of justice, my strength will continue to grow stronger."

"Additionally, this Power allows me to have an extremely keen sense of demons. Any demon approaching, I can immediately detect and even discern their strengths and weaknesses..."

The 'Ally of Justice' Power had never appeared on the Sky Dome Road before, and no matter how Qin Chu might fabricate, these people had no way to verify it!

Upon hearing this, everyone at the scene was astonished!

Super Order Power, extremely rare in number.

And the effects of the Power, very formidable, Saint Monica, Augustus, and Wozworth had their current strength and positions because they each possessed one Super Order Power.

Among the Thirteen Sages, only the youngest, Nadia, possessed a Super Order Power.

Even the First Generation Brave Hero Jie Luo had only one Super Order Power, yet his strength had already far surpassed the Pope of the Church.

Now, Qin Chu actually possessed two Super Order Powers, which was too exaggerated.

Except for the Thirteen Sages, everyone was stunned by Qin Chu's talent, Augustus, Saint Monica, and Wozworth shared a glance and could see the alert in each other's eyes; this was not the result they hoped to see. While it was good to combat demons, a Brave with two Super Order Powers was not easy to control.

Meanwhile, the others didn't consider so much. After a brief shock, a roar of cheers erupted from the banquet.

"Two Super Order Powers, that's incredible, such a thing has never happened in the history of the Sky Dome Continent."

"Truly worthy of being a Brave."

"More talented than the First Generation Brave."

"Now, the Sky Dome Continent has hope, those damned demons can definitely be eliminated."

"Hope, right before our eyes."

The roar, those excited, distorted faces, gradually overlapped in Qin Chu's view with the scenes from his first week's execution; how similar they appeared.

One side cheering for having killed him, the other excited that he could save them.

Qin Chu's smile grew broader, as he stretched out his arms as if embracing something.

"Celebrate…"

"I promise, to bring to the Sky Dome Continent…"

"Eternal peace!"
