Chapter 23 Super Order Magic, Skyfire Meteor (Request for Recommendation)

The terrifying attraction was frantically draining the magic power from her body, and her strength disappeared at an alarming rate. Candice was shocked and her face turned pale with fright.

She looked at Qin Chu in horror, knowing that all of this was caused by none other than the great Lord Horus.

"Lord Horus..." Candice let out a terrified scream.

She didn't even dare to pull away. Could she really escape in the presence of the great Lord Horus? She was more worried that if she tried to forcibly break free, it might enrage the great Lord.

Because of her presumptuous guesses deep in her heart, she saw Horus as a being far more powerful than herself, capable of killing her effortlessly.

All she could do was let out a desperate plea, hoping that Lord Horus would spare her.

Her scream woke Qin Chu.

He shook his head silently and dispersed the Devourer.

Candice, having narrowly escaped death, gasped for breath. Her pretty face was pale, and her cheeks were covered with beads of sweat the size of beans; she was terrified, her body still trembling incessantly.

Looking at Matras on the ground, this fairly strong Yin Yang Demon had now completely transformed into something else, lying on the ground like a dried corpse, motionless.

His face, eyes, and mouth were deeply sunken in. His entire body looked like a skeleton draped with a dry layer of skin, stuck tightly to it. All of Matras's strength had been thoroughly extracted by Qin Chu.

Without the support of energy, the two halves of the forcibly adhered corpse could no longer hold together, cracking in half with a snap and exposing the now hollow interior.

Indeed, the insides of the two halves of the corpse had been completely hollowed out, devoid of organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, and stomach. In their place was a clump of gray-black substance, like hair all tangled together.

That was the true form of the Yin Yang Demon, which possessed a weird, octopus-like head, but instead of octopus tentacles below, it had countless densely packed thin threads, like strands of hair... the iron wire worms.

Ever seen the iron wire worms inside a mantis's stomach?

Just like that, but several times longer and entangled densely, writhing.

Even though it wasn't his first time seeing the true form of the Yin Yang Demon, Qin Chu still felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. This thing was really disgusting.

He heard that if you coat it in flour and deep fry it, it tastes quite good.

But Qin Chu hadn't tried it.

The Yin Yang Demon also controlled its puppet corpses by threading hundreds of these iron wire worm-like things throughout the corpses' heads, torsos, and limbs to manipulate them in battle.

From some perspectives, they seemed more like a kind of parasitic demon.

Once the puppet corpse they controlled was destroyed, the vulnerable true form would be exposed, and at this moment, even a mischievous child could easily kill the Yin Yang Demon.

Unable to stand the disgusting sight any longer, Qin Chu stomped on the translucent, bald head that seemed filled with a gray-white viscous liquid, swinging chaotically.

With a squish, he burst it outright.

Viscous fluid splattered everywhere.

Squeak, squeak, squeak...

In an instant, Qin Chu seemed to hear the weird sounds from those iron wire worms as they quickly curled up.

After the head died, these worms would struggle for several hours before they could truly die.

"It's really quite disgusting, isn't it, Miss Candice?" Qin Chu asked in a light-hearted tone.

Candice's lips trembled, her face unnaturally flushed. She knew that a bit of her strength had also been devoured just now; that was a warning from the great Lord Horus.

The most intense human fear is the fear of the unknown.

Right now, Candice felt this way about the great Lord Horus.

This man stood before her, and although they had interacted for a while, Candice could not see through him at all.

Mysterious, profound, like the starry sky, as if facing the Abyss.

Candice did not kill Matras directly, but instead, she stepped on Matras and handed him over to Lord Horus, wanting to see the methods of Lord Horus.

Candice had no doubt that Lord Horus was a strong figure; she was merely curious about what kind of strength and what level of power he possessed.

To her surprise, Lord Horus directly turned Matras into a dried husk. It was a mysterious power she had never heard of before. Indeed, he was worthy of being the great Lord Horus.

Even witnessing the methods of Lord Horus hardly added to her understanding. On the contrary, Candice only felt that Lord Horus became even more enigmatic.

A never-before-felt, uncontrollable urge rose in Candice's heart to peek into the most mysterious aspects of Lord Horus, to understand more.

But just a moment ago, some of her magic power had been devoured.

Undoubtedly, Lord Horus must have seen through her thoughts; that was a warning and a punishment for her just now.

If she continued to probe further, it would not just be a warning anymore, so Candice suppressed her urge.

Hearing Qin Chu's voice, Candice forced a smile, "It is quite disgusting."

"I accidentally drained a bit of your magic power just now…" Qin Chu was somewhat annoyed.

The effect of the Devourer was too strong, and as it consumed others' strength, its own power kept increasing, becoming stronger and stronger. The excitement and stimulation that feeling brought were too intense. Even someone with Qin Chu's patience accidentally got lost in it. Matras was drained dry, yet he did not stop the Devourer, and a bit of Candice's strength was also taken.

Fortunately, Candice did not react with panic and retaliate, otherwise, his disguise as a sage would have completely collapsed.

As her mood gradually stabilized, Candice relaxed a little and hurriedly shook her head, "That was my own carelessness, not Lord Horus's fault."

Uh?

Qin Chu was a bit bewildered. It was clearly his own lack of control, so how did it become her fault?

Although he did not understand, Qin Chu was willing to go along with it:

"That being said, the fact that I drained your magic power is undeniable."

"How about this, get me a piece of paper."

At this point, faced with Qin Chu's command, Candice would not hesitate at all and immediately turned to find a notebook for him.

Qin Chu sat in the chair, after a brief moment of contemplation, picked up the quill and began writing in the notebook.

Before long, he had filled four full pages.

After blowing on the ink on the notebook, Qin Chu handed it to Candice.

With a doubtful look, Candice took the notebook and just glanced at it; her expression changed instantly.

She looked through it incredulously, page by page. Not only her fingers, but her entire body was shaking. Her breathing turned into heavy gasps, and her chest heaved like waves.

Her purple hair also fluttered with the shaking of her curvaceous body.

Her pale cheeks turned a shade of flush red.

A veil of moisture clouded her purple eyes, making her look almost moved.

Hey, hey, hey, what I wrote is very serious stuff, not some sleazy novel, why such an expression?

Qin Chu internally complained.

Anyone who didn't know better would think I wrote something terrible.

A long time passed, Candice suddenly took a deep breath, her face still unable to hide her excitement, her hands tightly clutching the notebook, her voice trembling:

"Super… Super Order Magic."

"Skyfire Meteor…"

"Is this for me?"
