She recognized the identity of this skull; it belonged to a squad leader of the Holy Knight Order.
How could his skull appear here in such a grueso state?
Rose Vesper’s body trembled more and more violently. From the lingering aura on these skulls, she could tell that they were killed by Karsas.
She looked at the Death Knight with disbelief, "Karsas, what... what have you done? Why did you kill them?"
Rose Vesper’s voice was sowhat shrill. She was nearly driven mad.
The unexpected arrival of Karsas had brought her such big trouble, having slaughtered over a thousand Holy Knights. Once this got out, Karsas would undoubtedly be condemned to death.
The Hero Team had already suffered losses due to Benson’s death.
If Karsas were finished as well, what would happen to their plans, and would Jie Luo still be revived?
The sudden murder of over a thousand Holy Knights would definitely not leave Augustus indifferent. Damn, damn, damn... Why did everyone have to make her so agitated?
Wasn’t there already enough trouble on her shoulders?
Facing the nearly hysterical Rose Vesper, Karsas’s eyes beneath his helt were sowhat puzzled, not understanding why Rose Vesper was reacting so strongly.
Even when she faced Benson’s corpse, Rose Vesper had not been so agitated.
But still, Karsas patiently explained, "They are sacrifices!"
"I used their lives, souls, blood, and skulls to pay homage to my fallen comrades..."
Rose Vesper felt faint. God, this guy’s head was really ssed up. Her voice even carried a sob, "Even if you wanted to conduct a live sacrifice, I rember there are several villages on the border, right? There are people there; why would you slaughter the Holy Knights?!"
In her irritation, Rose Vesper didn’t even realize that these words shouldn’t be coming from the Holy Daughter.
Luckily, Karsas was dull-witted and didn’t notice this.
He simply said with a gloomy voice, "Others won’t do. Only the skulls of the Holy Court can pay homage to my comrades because it was the Holy Court that killed Benson!"
Rose Vesper’s eyes widened. What was this about?
The incident of Luo ng attacking Benson, how did it involve the Holy Court? She was becoming more and more confused.
Karsas threw a white object to Rose Vesper, who subconsciously caught it and looked at it in confusion, then was shocked, "This, this is my stocking?"
She was all too familiar with the special pattern on the stockings.
Creeeak... The sound of tal grinding echoed once more; Karsas felt so regret. He thought he should have hidden these stockings and skirts, as it besmirched his comrade’s honor.
Even a dimwitted Karsas felt that stealing a girl’s worn stockings and skirts was a terrible act.
The next second, Rose Vesper kept moving back, widening the distance between herself and Karsas, looking at Karsas as if he were a pervert.
"Karsas, you... you... how do you have my stockings, you..."
Rose Vesper was shocked. Images of Karsas doing this and that with her stockings flashed through her mind, and she felt a wave of nausea.
"Ro... Rose Vesper..." Karsas panicked, no longer caring for his prayer, and quickly stood up, gesturing with his tal gauntlets, "No, you’re mistaken, this... this isn’t mine. This belonged to Benson..."
Benson...
Even more disgusting. What was this guy doing with her stockings? The thought made her feel as if the stockings had beco incredibly dirty.
"I don’t know how Benson got them, but the main thing is, the mark on the stockings is a clue left to us by Benson."
A clue on the stocking?
Rose Vesper was skeptical, she forced herself to pick up the stocking she had just thrown away, holding it open with two fingers. There, emblazoned on it, were the symbols of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect and the Holy Court.
Rose Vesper’s body began to tremble, "You slaughtered thousands of Holy Knights just because of this?"
Karsas answered with a deep and muffled voice, "Of course, they killed my comrades, and I will repay them with their blood."
Rose Vesper felt there was a hint of pride in Karsas’s voice, as if he was proud of his actions.
The next second, the demure Holy Daughter slowly spoke up, "Karsas, you idiot!"
Huh?
Karsas was stunned. He had thought that his act of vengeance would be welcod and praised by his companions, but who could have expected to be called an idiot? Such words coming from Rose Vesper were even more difficult for Karsas to accept.
"Why are you scolding ?" he asked, puzzled.
Rose Vesper rubbed her forehead with her hand, feeling a severe headache coming on. Why were all her teammates such dumb pigs? Catherine was brainless, Benson was a fool, and Karsas was a complete idiot.
With such a team of pigs, was it really possible for her plans to succeed?
She stared at Karsas with a look that one might reserve for an idiotic pig: "Idiot, is your head filled with mush? Didn’t you ever consider that this could be a conspiracy by Luo ng, deliberately left behind to fra us?"
Karsas, who had just wanted to retort, was stunned by Rose Vesper’s words.
"You know nothing, yet you went straight to a killing spree... Did you ever consider the consequences..."
Rose Vesper was not losing control, but her voice was cold and piercing. She felt an urge to cry out loud.
It was really too hard.
Perhaps Asina was the only one who could help her, after all, Asina was quite smart.
For the first ti, Rose Vesper felt resentful toward Jie Luo. Why had he chosen such a group of pigs for teammates?
"Do you know who Wolf is? He is a Holy Knight in the Holy Court, not very obedient to Augustus, and has already turned to Cardinal Douglas. He could have been soone we swayed to our side. That’s precisely why Augustus forcibly sent Wolf to the frontiers to clean up demons..."
"You didn’t kill Augustus’s people; instead, you killed those who could have beco our allies. Karsas, you did great..."
Karsas froze, standing there motionless as he suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.
"Of course, Augustus will be very happy that Wolf and the others are dead, but do you think Augustus won’t use this incident to carry out a massive purge? If the investigation leads to you, I fear your head will end up like these Holy Knights..."
The Death Knight panicked, now realizing the severity of his mistake: "What should I do then?"
Sigh...
Rose Vesper let out a sigh. She didn’t even have the energy to be angry anymore. Getting angry at such a group of fools would make her seem just as foolish.
"Hurry up and clean up these heads, Qin Chu, Catherine, and Nadia will be here soon. Make sure that Qin Chu doesn’t see them..."
Crack...
Rose Vesper hadn’t even finished her sentence when the sound of a footstep snapping a branch ca from behind.
In an instant, Rose Vesper and Karsas looked toward the source of the noise.
They saw Qin Chu, Catherine, and a tall and sowhat intimidating woman all erging from the jungle at the sa ti.
Rose Vesper’s vision darkened, and she almost fainted. This ti, she was done for!
