Chapter 434 - Was An Ever-Changing And Terrifying Scene
t.i.tan and Darren had never thought that Vincent would be able to fight Quinn and Theodore with ease. He even had spare energy to protect Dave.
At that moment, Vincent"s entire body had entered the fire spiritualization state. He brandished his dual blades. Twelve Flaming Wings spread out from behind his back. He protected Dave firmly with his wings. He did not give t.i.tan and Darren any chance to launch a sneak attack.
After Vincent made his strange move, Quinn and Theodore, who were launching attacks from the front had shocked expressions on their faces.
They thought that they had stalled Vincent and put him in a desperate situation where he was unable to defend himself. However, in reality, whilst Vincent was resisting them, he was also monitoring the Dark Elves behind them casually. Therefore, Vincent"s current situation was far different from what they had imagined. In fact, it was a completely different situation!
.
Vincent felt that his opponent"s attack had slowed down. He could not help but laugh coldly, "Why are you all surprised? Do you think that you have the upper hand against me just because you have more people with you? To tell you the truth, ever since I came to Elf World, I have never met an evenly matched opponent, let alone fought with all my strength. Today, the four of you working together might be able to satisfy my regret and barely allow me to fight with all my strength. So, I hope that none of you will be disappointed today. Everyone, let"s fight to our hearts" content!"
After hearing Vincent"s crazy voice, Quinn and the others fell into silence.
It was not that they did not believe Vincent"s words, but they were unwilling to accept the situation described by Vincent. At that moment, the ones who felt most awkward were t.i.tan and Darren, who were standing behind Vincent.
One of them was not good at close combat, while the other had not fully recovered. They only wanted to take advantage of Vincent being distracted to kill Dave in secret.
However, it was impossible to kill Dave at that moment. The two of them were completely exposed in front of Vincent. They were like two foxes who had originally planned to steal honey. Not only did they fail to find the honey, but they also accidentally fell into the grizzly bear"s cave. If the grizzly bear had not discovered them, they would be considered lucky. However, once the grizzly bear"s attention fell on them, they would become food for the grizzly bear!
Therefore, Darren and t.i.tan did not dare to breathe heavily. They did not even dare to counterattack Vincent. They only hoped that Vincent would forget about the two of them temporarily and give them a chance to slowly retreat.
Vincent seized an opening and swept away the Wheel of h.e.l.l and the Devil Dragon"s Spine in the air. He turned to look at t.i.tan and Darren abruptly, who were retreating silently.
"This is a trap that I set up to deceive you. How can I let you escape so easily?"
Just as he finished speaking, Vincent had already slashed his dual blades toward t.i.tan and Darren.
The golden blades formed by the Hand of G.o.d were extremely sharp and the Return Journey of the Dead was very heavy. The two long blades had different auras and different strengths, yet they emitted the same dangerous aura.
t.i.tan and Darren were in despair to discover that no matter how fast they retreated, it was impossible for them to be faster than Vincent"s falling blades.
In other words, from the moment they arrived behind Vincent, they had already fallen into the trap that Vincent had laid out for them. Moreover, it was a perfect trap that would kill them in one strike!
t.i.tan and Darren felt a strong sense of loss. They could not even be sure if the sneak attack on Dave was something they had thought of on their own initiative, or if it was caused by Vincent continuously luring them.
It was clearly t.i.tan and Darren who realized that Dave was dangerous. They then made a decision to carry out the sneak attack after weighing their interests. The entire process had nothing to do with Vincent. Even Dave who was the target of their a.s.sa.s.sination did not take the initiative to communicate with Vincent.
Therefore, t.i.tan and Darren were unable to believe that everything that had happened was actually a trap set by Vincent!
"Could it be that he also has the ability to secretly control the will of others?"
t.i.tan and Darren were both deeply shocked at that moment.
As they were not resisting, Vincent used his golden long blade to pierce through t.i.tan"s heart. He had also successfully split Darren"s head into two halves using his Return Journey of the Dead.
However, what disappointed Vincent was that both his attacks had failed. He could not guess the location of their demon cores.
Yet, Vincent was not discouraged. At least for the time being, he could confirm that t.i.tan"s demon core was not located in his heart, while Darren"s core was neither in his heart nor was it in his brain. As long as he kept trying, he would find the location of their core sooner or later!
Vincent withdrew his dual blades and looked at t.i.tan and Darren who was gradually recovering. He growled, "Directional absorption!"
As soon as Vincent finished shouting, scarlet chains suddenly appeared in his body. They flew across the air and pierced into t.i.tan and Darren"s bodies.
These were the law chains created by the blood law. They could absorb endless vitality from t.i.tan and Darren"s bodies and replenish it into Vincent"s body.
The moment the law chains took effect, t.i.tan and Darren"s self-recovery speed slowed down visibly, causing them to lose their powerful physical recovery ability.
Theodore and Quinn, who were standing on both sides, shouted in unison, "Stop him! We can"t let him continue absorbing life force!"
The two Dark Elf experts made a decision together. They had to break the chains on Vincent"s body. Only then would they be able to interrupt Vincent"s absorption of life force and create an opportunity for their companions to escape.
Otherwise, if Vincent killed the two of them and receive a large amount of life force at the same time, Theodore and Quinn would not have the slightest chance of victory!
They used the Wheel of h.e.l.l and Devil Dragon"s Spine to slash toward the scarlet chains on Vincent"s back at the same time. Nevertheless, Vincent"s reaction was also astonis.h.i.+ngly fast. He turned around at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye. In an instant, he managed to block another round of attacks from Theodore and Quinn.
At the same time, the twelve Flaming Wings on Vincent"s back slowly opened, revealing the illusory Dave.
Vincent said to Dave without turning his head back, "I"ll deal with the four of them now. You think of a way to break through the surrounding domain!"
Although Dave was protected by the flames earlier, he could still see the situation and changes outside. He knew that Vincent had always paid attention to his situation. He could not help but feel very moved and nodded his head. He said, "Don"t worry, I will definitely find the flaw in this domain!"
Vincent did not say anything else. Instead, he focused on dealing with Theodore and Quinn"s attacks.
Dave turned his head to look at t.i.tan, whose chest had a large hole, and Darren, whose head had been split into two. He stood rooted to the ground, waiting for his body to recover. He could not help but shake his head in fear. He took the initiative to go around them and around Vincent"s back in another direction.
When the three apostle-level demons set up the domain spell earlier, Dave clearly remembered that the three of them had used their magic staffs to build it. The key to breaking the spell may be lying in their magic staffs!
As Dave moved slowly, he did not forget to keep an eye on the changes on the battlefield. After making sure that Vincent had distracted Quinn and Theodore successfully, he slipped away carefully and approached one of the magic staffs in front of him. He observed the black light on the magic staff carefully.
There was a black light on the top of the magic staff. Two thin black lines shot straight toward the other two magic staffs, circling the final area of the spell.
Dave suppressed the anxiety and antic.i.p.ation in his heart. He raised his hand gently and touched the thin black lines in the air carefully.
However, the moment he touched it, Dave felt a sharp pain spread throughout his entire body from his fingertips, causing him to almost faint on the spot.
Dave endured the sharp pain and took a few steps back. He looked at the magic staff in front of him angrily and shouted in a deep voice, "B*stard, it"s actually a terrifying Demon World energy. It seems that as long as we break the connection between these three magic staffs, we can solve the current predicament!"
After hearing the increasingly frequent sounds of weapons colliding behind him, Dave knew that he did not have much time left. He immediately pointed at the staff in front of him and shouted in a low voice, "Modify and shatter!"
A crystal-clear light instantly flew out from Dave"s fingertip and entered the staff.
After that, countless cracks flickering with crystal-clear light appeared on the staff. However, the staff did not shatter directly. Instead, it remained standing on the ground.
Dave could not help but squint his eyes upon seeing the scene. He was certain that the staff had indeed shattered, but it was maintained in its original form by some sort of force. This meant that the domain spell before him was more advanced than he had imagined and was even more difficult to crack!
"I don"t believe it. Can a magic staff be an unsolvable existence?"
Dave"s desire to win was aroused successfully. He shouted again, "Big modification!"
The staff made of the Origin Divine Tree became thick and tall in an instant. It transformed into a healthy-looking tree after receiving Dave"s new modification instructions.
As the tip of the staff gradually rose, it was no longer at the same level as the other two staffs. The thin black line between the staffs instantly shattered as if it had been torn apart. At the same time, the darkness in the tunnel also disappeared and dissipated completely!
After seeing this, Dave quickly raised his hand and waved in front of him, opening a s.p.a.ce door.
After seeing the s.p.a.ce door open, Dave turned his head and shouted at Vincent, "Vincent, I did it!"
Vincent heard Dave"s voice and immediately transformed his Hand of G.o.d into a long golden blade. He pierced it through the center of the Wheel of h.e.l.l and stabbed it fiercely into the ground, making it impossible for Quinn to continue using it to attack. At the same time, he waved and stirred the Return Journey of the Dead using his right hand. He was entangling it with the whip that was created using the Devil Dragon"s Spine.
The three of them instantly fell into a stalemate.
Vincent shouted at Dave, "Leave first, then secretly observe their movements. Leave the rest to me!"
After receiving Vincent"s instructions, Dave did not hesitate at all. He immediately turned around and walked into the s.p.a.ce door, completely disappearing into the tunnel.
On the other side, Theodore and Quinn, who was in a stalemate with Vincent, did not care about Dave"s presence at all.
Even if the two of them joined forces, they might not be a match for Vincent. Therefore, there was no point in Dave leaving or staying. Moreover, Quinn and Theodore were also hoping that Vincent would take the opportunity to leave.
This was because they had felt deep fear from the depths of their hearts. If Vincent did not leave, perhaps the ones who would die would really be the a.s.sa.s.sins who had set up the ambus.h.!.+
Theodore, who wanted to retrieve the Devil Dragon"s Spine, was gradually losing his strength. When he saw that Vincent was still full of vigor and vitality, he felt even more helpless.
Not only did t.i.tan and Darren not help at all, but they had also become Vincent"s chargers. They were providing him with an endless supply of energy and vitality. If this continued, the four of them would be exhausted to death sooner or later, leaving only Vincent as the final winner.
Theodore knew that the situation was critical, so he quickly sought help from Quinn on the other side, "Quinn, quickly think of a solution! If this drags on, we"ll all be finished!"
Quinn was also in pain. He was unable to retrieve his Wheel of h.e.l.l, which meant that his strength would be greatly reduced. How could he not know that they were in an awkward situation?
The current situation was like a tug-of-war. Quinn and Theodore were on one side. However, the other side was not Vincent. Instead, it was t.i.tan and Darren, who were providing Vincent with strength. No matter who won or lost, they would not hurt Vincent in the slightest. Instead, Vincent would reap all the benefits.
After the battle, Quinn finally made a difficult decision in his heart. He shouted loudly, "Theodore, you have to seize the opportunity. I"ll fight it out with him!"
Vincent and Theodore heard Quinn shouting. They perked up almost at the same time. Although they did not know what Quinn was planning to do, they could hear Quinn"s tone. He was preparing to fight to the death!
Quinn"s hands that were controlling the Wheel of h.e.l.l suddenly pressed together, and he shouted resolutely, "Break!"
At that moment, the broken Wheel of h.e.l.l, which was nailed to the ground, instantly flew up and down before cras.h.i.+ng into each other.
"Boom!"
The Wheel of h.e.l.l immediately shattered under the collision, and at the same time, it set off a violent explosion.
Vincent, who was at the center of the explosion, did not expect the situation in front of him to occur. His entire body was instantly sent flying, and the Return Journey of the Dead in his hands could no longer continue to entangle with Theodore"s Devil Dragon"s Spine.
After seeing this, Theodore quickly withdrew his weapon. With a slight flick of his wrist, the Devil Dragon"s Spine turned from a soft edge into a two-meter long thin sword.
"I"m coming!"
Theodore shouted and rushed forward quickly. He raised his sword and slashed at the law chain behind Vincent.
"Clang!"
The law chain was instantly cut off. This caused Vincent to lose his life force, and at the same time, he released t.i.tan and Darren completely.
Without Vincent"s blood law as a hindrance, t.i.tan and Darren, who was heavily injured, instantly recovered. After regaining their freedom, they looked at Vincent flying in the air in horror, they knew that they could not give him any chance to counterattack. Otherwise, everyone would be played to death by him sooner or later!
Darren roared in anger and took the lead to jump into the air. He threw a few punches at Vincent"s back as if he wanted to break his spine.
t.i.tan looked around and confirmed that there was no sign of Dave. He opened the Elf Codex again and chanted continuously. Countless formations began to be constructed at the same time.
After Theodore rescued his two companions successfully, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately brandished the Devil Dragon"s Spine and attacked Vincent in the sky together with Darren.
Quinn, who had lost his most powerful weapon, panted in pain for a while. He then took out two sharp daggers from his storage ring and roared as he rushed toward Vincent.
"Today, you must die with my Wheel of h.e.l.l!"
The four demons attacked at the same time, but Vincent, who was in the sky, did not retaliate at all. He was unable to defend himself.
For a moment, sparks flew in all directions in the tunnel. Vincent"s fire spirit body gradually shattered under the joint attack of the four demons. Finally, it turned into smoke and fire and scattered on the ground.
The four demons who had returned to the ground looked at the messy fire around them and then at each other in surprise.
Darren shouted excitedly, "We succeeded. We finally killed him!"
Theodore, t.i.tan, and the others also showed gratified smiles. After experiencing the fierce battle, they had finally gotten rid of the big shadow in their hearts.
"Fortunately, the outsider has died. Otherwise, I would have been in a nightmare for the rest of my life!"
t.i.tan sighed with lingering fear. He did not dare to forget that extremely strange method of Dave"s.
Quinn, who had suffered the greatest loss in the battle, growled in a low voice with an unwilling expression, "He died just like that. It"s too easy for him! Otherwise, I will definitely cut him into a thousand pieces and sacrifice my Wheel of h.e.l.l!"
Theodore and the others only smiled when they heard that. They did not say anything, because they really did not want to face a monster like Vincent again.
However, at that moment, Theodore"s brows suddenly furrowed tightly, because he discovered that the flames scattered in the tunnel had not been extinguished. Instead, they were gradually burning brighter and brighter, rising into flames that were as tall as a person!
Darren and the others also discovered the abnormalities in their surroundings. They looked at the countless tiny flames around them. In the blink of an eye, the flames turned into monstrous flames, causing them to realize the level of danger.
t.i.tan sighed with a face full of terror, "Not good, that fellow isn"t dead yet!"
Just as the four demons stood up once again and were on guard, all the flames in the cave began to condense into human forms. In the blink of an eye, the flames condensed into countless figures that looked like Vincent!
The countless Vincent figures looked at the four demons who were surrounded and said with a sneer, "You didn"t think that that was the end, did you?"
Theodore and the others looked at the army of Vincents in front of them and s.h.i.+vered subconsciously. Their faces also changed from ecstasy after the victory to despair.
"As for me, I have to thank you first. Without your cooperation, I wouldn"t have been able to develop this new ability. So, in order to repay everyone, I will do my best the next round!"
Vincent"s mocking voice was heard throughout the entire cave. Following that, the countless Vincent figures raised their long knives at the same time and aimed at Darren and the others.
