Chapter 178 - Cleaning Up Spies, Establis.h.i.+ng Prestige In Neighbouring Countries
At the Arctic Country"s border, under Vincent"s prestige, Louis had revealed the ident.i.ty of the Phantom Race"s spies that he knew.
After Teacher Chris recorded all their names, she could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
If not for Louis saying it out loud personally, Teacher Chris would not have known that so many people had already been replaced by the Phantom Race and had their ident.i.ties stolen.
Among them was the leader of St. John school. The school was almost under total control of the Phantoms. The other two schools also had spies infiltrating them. What surprised everyone was that even the military had spies.
"No wonder the human battlefield has been in constant retreat recently. It turns out that in addition to the Monster Horde triggered by the Phantoms, there are also a large number of spies lurking in the army. Both internal and external troubles, how could the Human Race not be defeated?" Teacher Chris sighed angrily. A hint of killing intent flashed in her eyes.
After seeing Teacher Chris"s reaction, Louis could not help but feel a little strange. Why would the higher-ups of the Phantom Race be angry over the casualties of the Human Race? Could it be that she was too deep into the game?
Vincent noticed that Louis was suspicious and said, "Who is in charge of communication between the Phantoms now?"
Louis immediately lowered his head after hearing Vincent"s question. He said respectfully, "Our men who are carrying out the infiltration plan are not allowed to communicate with each other. However, the recent period is the best time to destroy the Human Race. We can only communicate with each other in private so as to better help the Executive Bureau of the Phantom Race"s plan. The liaison officer has always been the acting princ.i.p.al of St. John"s School, Lord Klaus Bayer!"
Vincent nodded. He had already gotten the information he wanted from Louis. He was no longer afraid of him discovering their ident.i.ties.
Louis looked up again and realized that it was not just Teacher Chris who was angry. The other members of the G.o.d-Slaying squad had also become extremely hostile towards him. He asked in confusion, "My Lords, why are you so angry?"
Teacher Chris and the others did not say anything. They just turned to look at Vincent.
Vincent smiled and nodded. He then said to Louis, "They are angry because of you! Because of your despicable practices, the human army almost fell into a hopeless situation. Every human with a conscience wants to kill you!"
"What?"
Louis looked at Vincent blankly. He then turned to look at Teacher Chris and the others. He suddenly realized, "You, you are not from the Phantom Race! Did you really come back alive from the Black Hole?"
Vincent snapped his fingers, and seven black shadows floated out of his body. They were the Phantom souls that he had imprisoned back then!
"Look! This is your race. These are just trash who pretended to be us. They are no match for us!" said Vincent lightly.
Louis stared at the souls that were in front of Vincent. He was so angry that even his gums were trembling. He then said coldly, "Don"t be arrogant. Our phantoms are as strong as the clouds. Killing us low-level phantoms will only anger the higher-ups of the Phantom Race and accelerate the destruction of the Human Race!"
Vincent threw his head back and laughed loudly. He then activated his Transformation Skill. His entire body instantly turned into a strange liquid-like life form. His body slowly squirmed and gathered into a human shape. Finally, he returned to Vincent"s original appearance.
However, at that moment, Vincent was not the original him. Instead, it was him who had transformed into a member of the Phantom Race, using the Phantom Race"s natural talent to condense into his own appearance!
"If you want to make the Phantom Race angry, the prerequisite is that they must know the inside information of the Human Race. In the future, I will take over the task of communicating with the Phantom Race inside the Black Hole!" said Vincent with a smile. The smile on his face was treacherous.
After seeing this, Louis could not help but turn pale with fright. He instantly thought of going out to inform the other men. Otherwise, the Phantoms" infiltration plan would be fatally sabotaged.
"In that case, let"s perish together!"
Louis shouted. Six arms suddenly grew out from behind him, each holding a weapon. He glared at the people in the room.
Vincent smiled disdainfully and said, "Perish together? You don"t deserve it!"
With that, Vincent waved his hand at his team. All the members of the G.o.d-Slaying squad, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately stood up and rushed towards Louis.
The Phantom Race"s special talent was that they could perfectly transform into flesh and blood after using just a little bit of their master"s flesh and blood. They could then inherit all of their master"s talents and abilities. Therefore, their transformation was usually flawless.
Although Louis"s talent, the six-armed vajra, was abnormally valiant and could fight against many enemies alone, he was only a level six creature. All the members of the G.o.d-Slaying squad were level eight creatures. There was also a level nine creature, Teacher Chris. Any one of them could easily kill Louis, let alone all of them attacking together!
RIP!
A moment later, all of Louis"s arms were ripped off his body. His entire body was covered in blood, and he knelt on the ground. He was on his last breath. He had lost the ability to fight.
"I, I won"t let you off even if I become a ghost!"
Louis glared at Vincent with extreme hatred. After muttering a sentence, he fell to the ground and died.
Vincent sneered and raised his hand. He shouted, "Spirit capturing and commanding!"
A pitch-black figure slowly floated out of Louis"s body. The figure looked at Vincent speechlessly.
"I"m sorry, I don"t know if you can let me go as a ghost or not, but even if you become a ghost, I won"t let you go!" said Vincent.
"You!"
Louis"s soul still wanted to curse at him. However, all of a sudden, his whole body suddenly shook, as if all of his intelligence had been wiped away. In an instant, he no longer had the mood to resist. He just stood there foolishly.
Vincent stood up and walked forward to carefully examine Louis"s soul. He said softly, "The soul that I enslave is my slave. Not only can I make you do anything, but you can also share all your memories with me!"
As he spoke, Vincent closed his eyes and began to look through Louis"s memories.
His memories flowed like water. Vincent could see his memory from the moment he was killed. He then saw the scene of him giving advice to Swain alone at the celebration banquet.
Vincent frowned. He did not expect Swain to have a secret deal with Louis!
Louis"s memories continued to rewind. It then finally came to a battlefield in front of the Black Hole. Louis, a human, was lying on the ground in the middle of a group of monsters" corpses. He was on his last breath. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared beside him and pounced on him at high speed.
Then, an illusionary Louis stood up from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
After recalling his memories again, Vincent saw an unfamiliar world. In this world, there was no light or resources. There was only dense psionic energy that was almost tangible between heaven and earth. Countless huge black shadows curled up in every corner of the world. They were silently increasing their own strength.
What made Vincent extremely shocked was that all the black shadows that were lurking in several corners of the world were emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
The strength of that aura was the strongest that Vincent had ever seen in his life. Other than Gajero, even the reborn Bear King, Thunder, did not have such strength.
All of a sudden, the black shadow in a corner of the world suddenly opened its eyes and looked at Vincent"s field of vision.
Vincent suddenly opened his eyes and shook his head violently. He exclaimed in shock, "The world of the Phantom Race is indeed terrifyingly powerful! I only peeked into one memory and had been discovered by the others!"
Teacher Chris and the others surrounded him and asked, "How is it? Are you injured?"
"No! But I"m not sure if I"ve been exposed. The true strength of the Phantom Race is far more terrifying than Thunder who is a level 30 creature!" said Vincent with lingering fear.
Everyone"s expressions were very ugly when they heard this.
Although Gajero was the common enemy of all the races in the Black Hole, he could not move quickly through the Black Hole. As such, he was not a concern for the time being.
However, the Phantom Race"s Black Hole was closely connected to the Human Race"s. It was like a vicious tiger crouching at the door of its home. If it was not removed, it would always be hanging over the Human Race like a huge knife ready to fall at any time. Once it fell, the Human Race will suffer a fatal blow.
"Then what should we do next?" asked Teacher Chris worriedly.
Vincent rubbed his head and stood up straight. He said, "At the moment, we can"t think too much. First, we have to repel the Monster Horde in the Human World. Then, we have to think of a way to close the Black Hole and build a teleportation array with the Beast Race. The first task is to speed up and increase the strength of the Human Race! As for the potential threat of the Phantom Race, we can only deal with it slowly!"
Everyone nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Vincent put away the Phantom Race"s soul and looked at the corpse on the ground. He said, "First, get rid of the corpse. From tomorrow onwards, we will do our best to stop the Monster Horde!"
"Yes!"
Everyone replied in unison.
After resting for a night, everyone left and rushed to the nearest Black Hole in the Arctic Country.
Lion Steel City was the number one military town in the Arctic Country. At the same time, it guarded the most dangerous Black Hole in the country.
"General, the Black Hole here is expanding. The number of monsters that come out every day is increasing. If we don"t have reinforcements, we won"t be able to hold on for long!"
An officer reported to the general of the Arctic Country who was standing at the general"s platform.
The general"s brows were tightly knitted. He lowered his head and sighed, "We"ve just received orders that the reinforcements from the Falcon Country will rush over in the next few days. I don"t know if we can hold on until then!"
Another officer said disdainfully from the side, "Will the people of the Falcon Country help us sincerely? If they aren"t from our country, their hearts will definitely be different!"
The general nodded silently. He was just as worried as his subordinates.
"Everyone, don"t worry. If we really wanted to harm you, we wouldn"t have agreed to help you. Instead, we would have directly attacked your borders!"
A calm voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone.
The Arctic Country"s generals turned around in shock. They were shocked to find a team of seven on the platform. No one had noticed them previously. Their movements were completely silent and terrifying.
"You are the reinforcements of the Falcon Country? The few of you can be counted as reinforcements?"
The general frowned and said in dissatisfaction.
Vincent smiled and said, "The Falcon Country"s G.o.d-Slaying squad is here to support you. Generals, please rest a.s.sured. With our team here, we can match up to thousands of soldiers and horses!"
At the same time, Teacher Chris and the others all burst out their auras, shocking everyone on the platform.
"All, all of you are king-cla.s.s!"
All the generals exclaimed in shock.
