Chapter 469 - Equal Strength, Ident.i.ty Exposed
The residents of Serene Spring City that have transformed into Fire Elves flooded the city causing the situation on the battlefield to change in an instant.
Although the Dark Elf army that followed Gordon and the others was stronger in terms of strength, they had just experienced a great battle and had yet to recover to their peak condition.
The elves had always put faith above everything else. When the residents of Serene Spring City wors.h.i.+pped Vincent, they did not think that they would receive a response from Vincent himself. However, at that moment, Vincent actually responded to the residents and gave everyone a brand-new ability.
His gesture had greatly encouraged the residents of Serene Spring City. It made them realize that they were blessed by G.o.d, and the Dark Elf army led by the demons outside the city was the mortal enemy of the G.o.d that they wors.h.i.+pped.
Countless elves would risk their lives for their beliefs. There was no hatred more intense than a clash of beliefs in the Elf Race.
At that moment, the residents of Serene Spring City had successfully taken the initiative to attack the battlefield.
With the help of Melissa and the others, Avril successfully stalled Blanche, preventing him from supporting the battlefield.
On the other side, Angelina also used her death law to fight against Robert with all her might. Her strength was not as strong as Robert"s, so she could not fight against Robert head-on. She could only rely on her agility in the air and the powerful deterrence of her chains to ensure that Robert would not be distracted by anything else.
The only one who made a significant breakthrough was Kurt, who had shattered Gordon"s head with just one punch.
Gordon, who was known as the number one Dark Elf, was supposed to become stronger after evolving into a demon. However, he could not even withstand one punch from Kurt.
After Kurt defeated Gordon, he did not immediately support Avril or Angelina. Instead, he continued to stand where he was and stared at Gordon"s headless body.
This was because Kurt was a robot. He did not have the thoughts of an ordinary living creature. He did not believe that Gordon would just die because he had lost his head. After his examination, he found out that Gordon still had a tenacious vitality. He was clearly not dead.
Just as the battlefield became more chaotic, Gordon"s broken neck suddenly emitted a large amount of demonic aura. It then gradually condensed, forming a new head.
Gordon turned around, jumped away, and looked at Kurt in shock.
"As expected, you are a foreigner who can kill apostles. Your strength is really strong!"
Gordon looked at Kurt. He thought that he was the foreigner who had killed Jessica and the other apostles. He could not help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
As a person who had personally experienced it, Gordon knew very well how powerful Kurt was. The power of that punch earlier must have exceeded the strength of a level 45 creature.
However, the most terrifying thing was that Kurt did not have any psionic power flowing through his body, thus, making it impossible for Gordon to determine his specific level.
Unknown existences were often the scariest. Kurt was a dangerous and terrifying existence to Gordon!
Kurt did not know what Gordon was talking about at that moment but he did not care at all. He said seriously with a deadpan expression, "Leave now. I won"t kill you, but if you insist on attacking this city, or if you want to harm the two ladies, I will definitely kill you!"
Gordon looked at Kurt nervously. He did not dare to take Kurt"s warning as a joke as Kurt indeed had the ability to kill him completely.
But even so, Gordon could not retreat. He was the most famous apostle, the strongest Dark Elf who had been recognized for many years. He had to protect his own dignity.
If he retreated without a fight, Gordon believed that he would become the laughingstock of the entire Elf Race.
Therefore, even though he knew that he was no match for Kurt, he would still try his best to deal with his opponent. He would not retreat until his final moment.
Gordon looked at the city gate behind Kurt and said firmly, "I"m already a demon now! Today, I will represent the Demon Race to attack Serene Spring City. I want everyone to understand that the entire Elf Race is under the rule of the Demon Race. No one can resist us!"
Unfortunately, the battlefield had become a mess. No one cared about Gordon"s unchanging ambition.
At the same time, his opponent was an emotionless robot. He had no comments. Whilst Gordon was busy showing his strong desire to invade Serene Spring City, Kurt was just focused on the fact that Gordon was an extremely dangerous enemy and launched an attack in an instant.
Gordon widened his eyes when he saw Kurt arrive in front of him at an unbelievable speed. He raised his fist covered with illusory scales and smashed it at him again.
Gordon immediately reached out his hands and pinched Kurt"s wrists. At the same time, he did not forget to ask with a sneer, "Do you want to attack me in the same way twice?"
Kurt did not say anything. He roared and displayed his dragon power again. He responded to Gordon"s question with actions.
As they were standing face to face, Gordon was unable to resist the intimidation of the dragon power at all. He was absent-minded on the spot.
Kurt took the opportunity to break away from Gordon"s hands. He waved his fists and smashed Gordon"s head again.
As Kurt did not know about the demon core hidden in his body, he automatically regarded his head as the weakest spot.
However, he knew that he could not kill Gordon by attacking his head. The headless Gordon retreated desperately. At the same time, the black aura of the Demon World appeared again on his neck. Gordon condensed his head again and looked at Kurt with a puzzled expression.
Gordon initially thought that the opponent was a foreigner who had killed five apostles in a row. However, from the fight earlier, it seemed that the guy in front of him did not know the weakness of the demons. Therefore, it was impossible for him to be the rumored foreigner!
Gordon felt extremely shocked after discovering this important secret. This was because he could not believe that there was an expert who was even more powerful than Kurt that could kill apostles by hiding in the dark.
With such a powerful combination of strength, Gordon could not help but feel a sense of despair.
However, he soon felt happy. This was because there was still no sign of the other expert despite them fighting for a long period of time. This could only mean that that expert was not in Serene Spring City. The expert in front of him was someone who did not know anything about the demons.
Gordon looked up at Kurt and sighed with confidence, "As long as you don"t know the weakness of the demons, I can exhaust you to death!"
Angelina, who was restraining Robert in the distance, shouted loudly, "Kurt, if you want to kill the demons, you have to find the demon core hidden in his body. Only by breaking the demon core and preventing him from recovering can you kill the demons completely!"
Kurt, who was on the battlefield, nodded repeatedly after receiving Angelina"s advice. He then looked at Gordon again and started to a.n.a.lyze where the demon core was located in his body.
Gordon felt very uncomfortable when he saw Kurt a.n.a.lyzing him. He decided to take the initiative to attack Kurt.
"It"s not that easy to find my weakness! Besides, even if you could find my demon core, you might not be able to kill me!"
Gordon roared and rushed in front of Kurt. He drew a circle above his head and built an array. He ignited a pitch-black demon flame using his left hand while his right hand smashed toward Kurt"s chin like a hammer.
Kurt saw the scene and unleashed his dragon"s might again.
Suddenly, an illusory image of Gajero appeared in the array above Gordon.
At the same time Kurt unleashed his dragon"s might, the illusory Gajero turned his gaze toward him. A gold and black light shone. Gajero"s attack neutralized the dragon"s might that Kurt had unleashed causing his dragon might to not have the slightest bit of effect.
At that moment, Gordon"s right fist had already smashed into Kurt"s chin. Kurt"s entire body flew backward under the heavy blow.
Gordon"s left fist, which was burning with pitch-black flames smashed into Kurt"s chest at the same time.
As Kurt"s body flew backward, pitch-black demonic flames ignited on his body, enveloping his entire body within. He crashed heavily onto the ground like a meteor.
Gordon smiled coldly and had a smug look on his face. He twisted his neck forcefully and made a celebratory gesture.
As the publicly known number one expert among the Dark Elves, Gordon did not have any special abilities. However, he had the most comprehensive combat talent.
He had practiced the Elf Race"s arrays and spells to their absolute peak. His strength was also the best among the elves.
The elves who used bows and spears were all at the level of a grandmaster!
Compared to the other apostles, Gordon was the one with almost no weaknesses. He could even be labeled as the most perfect Dark Elf!
In Gordon"s previous battle records, no opponent could withstand his attacks that comprised of arrays, spells, and combat strength at the same time. Furthermore, he was currently a level 45 demon. The spells and arrays he could cast were even more powerful, and his physical body had also improved qualitatively.
With such an attack, even if the opponent was stronger than him, there was no chance of survival so long he struck his opponent!
Gordon turned his head to look at Robert and Blanche who were engaged in a bitter battle. He then s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the open city gate not far ahead and sighed softly, "Although we are partners, I alone am able to take down Serene Spring City and complete the mission a.s.signed by the oracles!"
With that, Gordon walked toward Serene Spring City with a smile on his face. He had abandoned his two companions along the way.
However, just as Gordon was walking closer and closer to Serene Spring City gates, Kurt suddenly stood up from the pitch-black demonic flames. He stood in front of him with a cold expression.
Gordon could not help but widen his eyes upon seeing the scene. There was a hint of disbelief and shock in his eyes.
Gordon stuttered, "You... You"re not dead yet!"
Kurt"s entire body was burning with black demonic flames. A layer of dragon scales was faintly visible between the demonic flames and his body. It protected him from the unextinguishable demonic flames.
Although he was sent flying by a huge force earlier, most of the damage had been absorbed by the illusory dragon phosphorus on his body!
"With me here, you can forget about getting your hands on this city today!"
Kurt"s tone was very determined. At the same time, a blast of air burst out from his body, repelling the demonic flames that were attached to his body.
Gordon looked at Kurt, who was unharmed, and the smile on his face disappeared once again. It became extremely solemn because he knew that he was going to face an extremely difficult battle.
…
At the same time, in Imperial City, Vincent, who was floating in the air, responded to the prayers of all his believers. He knew of the dangerous situation they were facing.
"Serene Spring City can hold off three apostles, and the army of Devil Flame city can resist the invading Dark Elves. But they don"t have the ability to resist the apostles. I have to rush back to support them!"
However, at that moment, Vincent suddenly felt something resonating with him in the palace. It allowed him to sense the enemy"s position and enmity.
When Vincent looked back curiously, he suddenly saw a large amount of demonic aura rising from the palace. At the same time, there was an angry roar.
"Who dares to cause trouble in Imperial City?"
The question was filled with killing intent.
Ramirez emerged from the black demonic aura and looked coldly at Vincent.
Vincent could not help but frown slightly after seeing this. It seemed that his sudden burst of power had alarmed the Gajero clone.
However, what made Vincent even more curious was something inside Ramirez"s body that was attracting him.
Vincent was focused on Ramirez causing Ramirez to become even more furious than before. He asked in a deep voice, "Those Elf Kings are already dead. Their divine sparks must have been transferred to your body!"
After hearing this, Vincent suddenly understood something. He asked in return, "So, the divine sparks belonging to the Elf Kings must be in your body? No wonder I could sense something. It seems that after Gajero created you, he did leave something with you after all. At least he made you a G.o.d!"
When Ramirez heard Vincent deliberately mentioning Gajero"s name, his expression turned sour and he roared angrily, "That"s because Gajero is creating a divine spark that is comparable to the G.o.d Race for himself. That"s why he isn"t willing to fuse with the elf"s divine spark. Instead, he transferred it to me! This isn"t a gift to me, but a restriction that prevents me from advancing to a stronger level! However, it"s also thanks to this divine spark that allowed me to break away from the shackles that Gajero has set for me. I have managed to regain my will successfully. After I kill you and collect all the divine sparks in your body, I might be able to fuse with an even stronger divine spark. This way, I will have the power to match Gajero!"
Vincent could not help but sneer in response, "I can tell that you are still very ambitious, but unfortunately, at the end of the day, you are still a clone. Your ambition and strength are not comparable to Gajero"s! Moreover, don"t even think about killing me. At least for now, you are not worthy!"
The corners of Ramirez"s mouth curled up with disdain. He sneered and said, "I am not worthy? Later, when I break all the bones in your body, you"d better stick to what you are saying now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of demonic aura appeared all over Ramirez"s body. It condensed into armor that shone with metallic l.u.s.ter at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the demonic horn on his head and the demonic wings on his back were completely covered in black metal. He looked like a steel mech.
After seeing this, Vincent muttered to himself, "Don"t hide anymore. It"s your turn now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an illusory figure appeared in front of Vincent. It was the Vampire Race"s leader, Justin.
Justin looked at Ramirez warily and whispered to Vincent who was behind him, "Kid, to tell you the truth, I won"t be able to hold on for long against such an expert. So, you must seize the time to escape as quickly as possible. Run as far as you can. When the time comes, I can rely on my connection with you to quickly leave the battlefield!"
Vincent nodded and then glanced at Ramirez. He turned and fled in the direction of the city gate without any hesitation.
Ramirez immediately chased after him. However, in the next second, a huge red-colored array suddenly appeared in the s.p.a.ce around him. An invisible suction force instantly enveloped his entire body. Wisps of black blood flowed out continuously from his body and flowed into the array around him.
"Vampire Race?"
Ramirez looked at Justin who was in his soul state in surprise. He did not expect that there would be such a powerful Vampire Race that stood beside the weak Vincent. Moreover, although the other party was in his soul state, he could actually move freely and have his own consciousness. This was an extremely rare phenomenon!
Justin did not want to talk to Ramirez at that moment. He used the bloodthirsty array that he constructed to draw out Ramirez"s blood. He immediately summoned the blood to his side.
The essence of the blood law was to control life and blood that represented life force. It was one of the symbols of the blood law. As the Vampire Race"s leader, Justin"s attainments in the blood law could be said to be unparalleled, thus, he could also control the blood of the demons!
After seeing the blood floating in front of him, Justin could not help but sigh helplessly. If he was not in a soul state, he would have long been able to decompose the blood into the purest energy and life force to be injected into his body. His strength would then be able to surpa.s.s Ramirez in a short period of time.
However, he did not have a physical body at that moment so he was unable to absorb blood. Hence, his strength could only be fixed at level 75 forever.
Nevertheless, although he was unable to absorb blood at that moment, it did not mean that he could not use it. Although Justin was not confident in defeating Ramirez, he could still use blood to do many things!
Justin raised his head slowly and said with a sneer, "Next, I"ll let you taste the power of a vampire!"
