Chapter 410 - Agreed To Kill The Zerg
Vincent and the Zerg sprinted through the plaza of Bright Moon City. It was clear where they were going. They were heading to the battlefield where everyone was besieging Andre!
During the period when Vincent did not partic.i.p.ate in the battle, Andre"s situation had eased up a lot. Andre was able to deal with Horace, Harson, and the others" attacks. Meanwhile, Avril and Angelina"s hara.s.sment at the periphery could only create a small amount of trouble for Andre. It was not enough to expose his fatal flaw.
The only individual who was not partic.i.p.ating in the battle was Dave. Although he had completely broken off his father-son relations.h.i.+p with Andre and realized that Andre had become a demon that was against the elves, he was still unable to cross the final hurdle in his heart to draw his weapon to deal with Andre.
Andre, on the other hand, had revealed a flaw intentionally. He revealed his back to Horace who was preparing to launch a sneak attack. This was because Andre knew that among all the creatures that had surrounded him, Horace hated him the most. Therefore, only Horace would lose his cool in such a situation and try to kill him at all costs..
The trap that Andre had set up was obviously very useful. When Horace saw Andre"s unguarded back, his eyes suddenly became resolute. His goal was to kill Andre and not just surround him like the others. Therefore, at this moment, Horace had forgotten Vincent"s advice to cooperate with the others. He waved his dagger, rushed forward, and stabbed at Andre"s back.
Avril who was wandering outside the battlefield, suddenly warned Horace, "Horace, retreat!"
However, how could Horace listen to Avril"s order and give up such a good chance to a.s.sa.s.sinate Andre?
At that moment, the three shadow demons led by Guru Harson were also surrounding Andre with Horace. From their perspective, Horace had indeed found a good opportunity as Andre was preparing to block their frontal attack. Therefore, Horace"s sudden attack from the back would definitely work!
However, Avril, Angelina, and Dave, who were outside the battlefield, could see Andre"s intentions clearly. This was because Andre"s actions of raising his fists to block his front had already changed. His fists gradually loosened into claws, and he slowly opened his arms. He was prepared to swing his hands backward at any time. At the same time, they could see Andre"s sneering!
This was all part of Andre"s plan. Except for the bystanders who could notice these details, the ones on the battlefield were unable to notice the anomalies. The three of them who were outside the battlefield shouted anxiously whilst the others who were on the battlefield were helping Horace to launch a sneak attack on Andre.
"Go to h.e.l.l!"
Andre seized the opportunity to shout at Horace. He grabbed Horace"s wrist and use his other hand to pinch Horace"s neck.
Everyone knew that Andre"s strength was very terrifying. As long as his claw was firm, he could crush Horace"s neck directly!
Horace did not expect to fall into Andre"s trap one after another. He felt very embarra.s.sed and angry. He struggled with all his might under Andre"s control. However, due to the difference in strength, all his resistance seemed to be powerless!
At that critical moment, a flame suddenly lit up beside Andre"s face. Immediately after that, a flaming blade blocked Andre"s palm!
When everyone saw this, their faces immediately revealed joy. They watched as Vincent"s body gradually condensed in the flames. He raised his foot and kicked Andre"s face ruthlessly.
Andre, who was suddenly struck by a heavy blow, was in a daze. He let go of Horace"s wrist subconsciously and retreated backward in a hurry.
However, Andre, who remembered that he was in a dangerous situation, soon recovered from the shock. He looked at Vincent who had suddenly appeared in front of him. He could not help but twitch his eyelids.
Since Vincent had come back in time, it meant that Jessica was already dead. There could not be any other ending!
"I already know how to deal with the demon core. Let"s work together and finish it as soon as possible!" shouted Vincent as he raised the Return Journey of the Dead in his hand.
Horace, who was saved, immediately responded to Vincent loudly, "Good!"
No one was more excited than him at that moment. As long as they could find a way to kill Andre, Horace would be willing to kill him.
Although the others were not as excited as Horace, they were still somewhat excited. They quickly gathered around Vincent and glared at Andre. They were preparing for the final battle.
Andre looked at Vincent and the others with unspeakable fear and shock in his eyes. However, he still had the will to live. In fact, his desire was even stronger than before.
"I want to live! I cannot die here! As long as I find the Origin Divine Earth, I can enter the Imperial City directly and become a high and mighty oracle. My fate has just begun, it cannot end here!"
Andre muttered to himself like a madman. It looked as if he was trying to calm his chaotic emotions.
Suddenly, a shadow covered Andre"s body, causing the surrounding s.p.a.ce to dim.
Andre was shocked and quickly turned his head to look behind him. He discovered that it was the Zerg that had chased after Vincent earlier. It had just arrived behind him.
However, the Zerg did not seem to care about Andre"s existence at all. It only wanted to rush forward and kill Vincent. As for anything that was in front of it, it was just an obstruction that could be crushed directly!
Andre did not have any intention of slowing down. The Zerg"s huge tail and abdomen were about to collide with it!
In a moment of desperation, Andre could only open his arms and grab the tail and abdomen that was about to collide with him. He let the Zerg take him away. He believed that with Vincent"s strength, it was impossible for him to stop the Zerg. Therefore, he could take this opportunity to escape.
After seeing this, Vincent could not help but squint his eyes. He shouted loudly, "All of you, get out of the way!"
Everyone knew how powerful the Zerg was. They did not dare to hesitate and quickly moved away, leaving Vincent alone to face the Zerg.
Vincent looked at the Zerg charging toward him in a calm manner and sighed with determination, "I originally wanted to let you live for a few more days. At that time, I would be more confident. But now, it seems that everything will be settled today!"
At the same time, a black shadow suddenly appeared on Vincent"s body. It was condensing continuously as if it was about to condense into a human form!
"Spirit capturing and commanding!" shouted Vincent in a deep voice.
The black shadow that appeared on his body instantly solidified, turning into a tall illusory figure wearing a gown!
The black figure appeared in front of Vincent and glanced at the Zerg charging over indifferently. Then, he turned his head and said to Vincent, "Haha! Kid! You"ve encountered a problem that you can"t solve, right? I was wondering why you insisted on having me stay in your body. So, it turns out that you don"t have enough psionic power to bear the cost of my freedom of movement!"
Avril and the others, who had been pushed to the sides, could not help but feel astonished when they saw the black figure that had suddenly appeared.
"This is the soul that Vincent controlled with his spirit binding ability… Why haven"t I seen him summon this figure before? Moreover, this soul even knows how to mock Vincent?" sighed Avril in surprise.
She knew that the souls that Vincent controlled were all his slaves and had to obey his orders unconditionally. She had never seen a soul that was so impudent in front of Vincent!
Angelina shook her head and said, "I"m not sure! Maybe there"s something special about this soul. It"s just that we don"t know his ident.i.ty yet!"
Ebenezer, who was at the side, said in a deep voice, "I know who he is! He"s the former Vampire Race leader, Justin. He has the strength of a level 75 creature!"
Whether it was Avril, Angelina, Horace, Harson, or the others on the side, they could not help but widen their eyes in shock when they heard that. They looked at Vincent and Justin"s soul in great shock.
In order to possess the soul of a level 75 creature, one had to witness the death of a level 75 creature or kill a level 75 creature with his or her own hands. Regardless of the conditions, this was a fantasy for Vincent who was only a level 40 creature.
Avril muttered softly, "He actually found the soul of a level 75 creature!"
Ebenezer shook his head and said, "No, master actually killed the heavily injured Justin with his own hands and controlled his soul! It"s just that Justin"s strength is too powerful. Master can"t control him as he pleases. He can only maintain a cooperative relations.h.i.+p with Justin for now!"
Everyone fell into silence once again when they heard this.
Although Ebenezer said that Vincent had killed a level 75 creature when the creature was in a heavily injured state, it was still an incredible thing.
It must be known that low-level creatures would still feel their legs go weak when facing the remains left behind by a level 75 creature. They would even be unable to resist the urge to kowtow!
However, not only did Vincent not fear a level 75 creature, but he even succeeded in killing it. Moreover, he had captured his soul for his own use. This meant that he possessed an extremely powerful will. His will allowed him to face any expert without any change in his expressions!
Perhaps only with this resolute and fearless att.i.tude could they become an expert like Vincent!
Everyone sighed in their hearts silently. At the same time, they were also looking forward to the strength of Justin"s soul.
Vincent"s clothes were drenched in sweat. His face was pale as he looked at Justin and said indifferently, "Don"t forget our agreement. Hurry up and get rid of that Zerg!"
Justin could tell that Vincent was unable to hold on for long. He nodded happily and said, "Okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Zerg had already rushed in front of him. Justin turned his head with a calm expression. He raised his arm and opened his five fingers to aim at the Zerg.
"Blood law!"
Just as Justin shouted in a deep voice, the huge body of the Zerg that was charging forward suddenly left the ground and floated in mid-air. It began to dry up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A large amount of dark green blood gushed out from the Zerg"s body and flew toward Justin"s palm. It looked like a long green snake in the air.
"Roar!"
The Zerg let out an indignant roar, releasing the pain and grief it felt at that moment.
Originally, when it woke up from its mother nest, it had no opponents or natural enemies in this particular world. Even Vincent, who had created the most trouble for it, could not hurt its foundation. However, such a powerful and terrifying soul had suddenly appeared. The soul was on the verge of draining all of its life force.
Everything else was already a foregone conclusion. No one could change the fate of the Zerg!
The Zerg"s wails reverberated continuously throughout the ruins of Bright Moon City. Avril and the others watched helplessly as the invulnerable Zerg, that had almost no weaknesses, withered into a sh.e.l.l in just a few breaths. It had completely lost its life force.
At this time, Justin raised his other hand and aimed it at Vincent, who was on the verge of collapsing. He poured all the Zerg blood and vitality into his body.
"This!"
Vincent, who had almost fallen into a coma due to the ma.s.sive loss of psionic energy, suddenly woke up and looked at Justin in shock.
Justin said calmly, "Don"t move! I"m only in the soul state now and cannot absorb the blood and life force. In order not to waste a huge number of resources, I can only pour it into your body!"
Vincent shook his head and said nervously, "I"m worried that the green Zerg blood will be poisonous. If it"s injected into my body, will it kill me?"
Justin"s mouth twitched violently. He said coldly, "What do you know? Although the ancient Zerg Race was bloodthirsty and cruel, and had once annoyed all the races, its entire body was full of rare treasures. The Zerg Race"s blood contained their origin power. If you can refine their blood in your body, you will improve greatly. Moreover, the poison in the Zerg"s blood can help you refine your body and increase the psionic capacity that you want to expand the most!"
Vincent almost drooled in excitement when he heard Justin"s explanation. He quickly asked, "Didn"t the ancient Zerg extinct a long time ago? Why do you know so much about it?"
Justin smiled slightly and said proudly, "Although the Vampire Race is not as strong as the Dragon Race, they have a long lifespan that is comparable to that of the Dragon Race. Therefore, many secrets of the ancient times have been pa.s.sed down from generation to generation within the Vampire Race. Not to mention the characteristics of the Zerg, I even know how to use its entire body parts to make equipment! And..."
Vincent asked curiously, "And what?"
Justin was silent for a while before he replied softly, "And I can see what you"ve been doing and saying in your body! So, when you recognized the Mother Nest Insect Egg, I naturally recognized it too!"
After hearing that, Vincent said with some realization, "No wonder you helped me so readily today. Is it because I"m fighting against Gajero? So, you want to help too!"
Justin did not deny Vincent"s question. Instead, he smiled and nodded. He replied, "Kid, you do have the willpower that I"ve never seen before. Back then, when high-level races like us faced Gajero, we could only be defeated like a collapsing mountain. In the end, we retreated to the capital of Ultimate Evil with hatred in our hearts. Yet, you were able to work hard continuously to resist Gajero despite having the strength of a low-level creature. It really makes me feel a little incredulous. I also want to help you during that critical moment!"
Vincent immediately revealed a gratified smile. It seemed that Justin had completely reached a consensus with him, which allowed him to avoid a huge hidden danger!
Justin turned to look at Vincent who was silent. He said in a deep voice, "I have to remind you in advance that the power of Gajero is far beyond your imagination. It is not something that the demons who live in this world can compare to. Therefore, if your ultimate goal is to defeat Gajero, you will have to become stronger through your own efforts. Therefore, other than troubles like the Zerg that you cannot solve, I will not help you. Therefore, don"t think about maintaining a psionic-free state. I might not even help you to wipe out the elf"s Imperial City!"
Vincent came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Don"t worry! I prefer to fight against the demons personally. I also understand that you are worried that if your ident.i.ty is revealed, it will cause Gajero to vent his anger on the entire Blood Race. So, unless it"s absolutely necessary, you don"t need to make a move!"
"Hmph! It"s good that you know!"
Justin snorted coldly, but his tone was much gentler.
The blood and vitality of the Zerg were finally drained completely. They all surged into Vincent"s body under Justin"s control, leaving only a dried up corpse of the Zerg in the air, as well as Andre who was still hugging its abdomen!
Justin looked at the terrified Andre in the air and turned to say to Vincent, "I"ll leave this guy to you. With your strength, it"s enough to finish him off!"
Vincent said helplessly, "Hey, my psionic power is about to be exhausted, and my body is full of Zerg blood. How can I still have the ability to deal with him? You"d better deal with him! It"s more convenient that way!"
Justin was stunned and he said seriously, "No way! Since you want to challenge Gajero, you must constantly strengthen yourself from the ordeal. Don"t expect me to do everything. In the future, unless an opponent beyond your ability appears, I won"t come out even if you die!"
After saying that, Justin flashed into Vincent"s body, not giving Vincent any chance to fight back.
Vincent felt that the psionic power in his body was no longer being consumed. Instead, it was recovering at an extremely fast speed. He finally let out a sigh of relief.
He then felt a piercing pain coming from every inch of his body. It was the poison from the blood of the Zerg. It had begun to invade his body.
Fortunately, Vincent was still in the fire spiritualization state. His body that was in the fire spiritualization state could counteract the poison effectively. That was why Vincent did not feel that much pain!
Vincent took a deep breath. He quickly mobilized his remaining psionic power to wrap around the Zerg"s blood in his body to prevent it from further eroding his body. He then turned his gaze to Andre, who had fallen to the ground along with the Zerg"s corpse.
Vincent looked at Andre and chuckled softly, "There are no more obstacles now. It"s time to settle the most important matter!"
