Chapter 472 - Leave Imperial City Temporarily And Return To Serene Spring City
Whilst Justin was fighting with all his might against Ramirez, all the Dark Elves in Imperial City had finally escaped through the city gates.
Vincent had set the city gates ablaze at the first moment to warn Justin.
Justin smiled with relief after seeing that he could finally leave with ease. He said to Ramirez, "Today"s battle has exposed your strength fully, but we still have more important things to deal with at the moment. We"ll let you live for now. When we"re done with everything, we"ll come back for you! When that time comes, we"ll definitely take your dog head and make sure that you will never reincarnate!"
Without waiting for Ramirez to react, Justin turned into an unstoppable stream of light and flew toward the city gate.
Feeling indignant, Ramirez wanted to extend his hand to stop him, but he realized that Justin had flown away and was no longer in the same s.p.a.ce. He could only be seen, but he could not be touched at all.
This was because there was a contract between Justin and Vincent formed through the spirit-binding order. As long as the soul that was under Vincent"s control wanted to return to his body, the soul could leave the real world in an instant. It was as if the soul had entered a pa.s.sageway that belonged to the dead. Justin headed straight into Vincent"s body. He was unstoppable, unbreakable, and irreversible!
"B*stard, I will tear you into pieces!"
Ramirez roared angrily at the sky, but he did not immediately chase after him because his strength had been greatly weakened. He had to replenish his strength first. Otherwise, even if he chased after them, there was no way he could do anything to Justin and Vincent who were working together.
Ramirez immediately took a deep breath. A small portion of the blood giant that he had a.s.similated instantly turned into a puddle of filthy demonic aura. The demonic aura surged into Ramirez"s body and repaired the wounds on his body that had been pierced by the golden flames.
However, the small portion of the blood giant was not enough to heal all of Ramirez"s injuries. Despite absorbing all the demonic aura, Ramirez"s body still looked like it was riddled with holes. Nevertheless, he looked a little better than before.
Ramirez then turned his gaze to the houses under his feet. The array in the palace was no longer effective, and it could no longer provide an endless supply of energy because the six Great Elf Kings that were the source had already died. The only ones who could provide Ramirez with energy were the Dark Elves in Imperial City!
"It"s time for all of you to give up your lives for me!" shouted Ramirez coldly.
He stretched out his hands with his palms facing downward. He hooked his fingers slightly and tried his best to inhale. He was trying to absorb the demonic aura from all the Dark Elves in the city.
However, after trying for half a day, Ramirez did not manage to obtain any demonic aura at all. He opened his eyes in surprise and looked down carefully at the house under his feet.
Ramirez roared in disbelief, "This is impossible!"
He raised his hand and grabbed a house. He used both his hands to break the house into two halves. Then, he saw that the interior of the house was empty. There were no Dark Elves around at all.
Ramirez then raised his foot and kicked at a tall building. He directly kicked the surface of the building into pieces. After seeing that there were still no Dark Elves in the exposed room, Ramirez finally reacted. Vincent, who could control six demons with the Cosmic Threads, must have also been able to control all the Dark Elves in the city. They must have escaped Imperial City while he was busy fighting with Justin!
Ramirez suddenly realized that after experiencing a long battle, he had actually become a lone wolf. From then on, he could only guard the Imperial City that was almost ruined!
"Something"s wrong!"
Ramirez suddenly realized that he was not alone at that moment. There were still four demons floating in the air in front of him. They were looking at him with a dull expression!
"You four deserve to die!"
Ramirez grabbed the remaining four demons angrily and threw them into his mouth. He then began to chew them wantonly and devoured the aura of the four demons.
After receiving a large amount of demonic aura, the wounds on Ramirez"s body were completely healed. He then turned to look at the burning gates of Imperial City. After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to chase after Vincent and Justin.
This was because the battle earlier had proven that he could not defeat Justin in a short period of time. If Vincent joined in, the outcome would be even more unpredictable!
Plus, Ramirez believed that Vincent must have other helpers. When that time came, it might make his situation worse. Therefore, he could only think of the long-term consequences. He had to reformulate a strategy to fight Vincent!
Ramirez snorted coldly, "Hmph, don"t you want to fight me in Elf World? Then I"ll let you know who the true G.o.d of Elf World is!"
The filthy demonic aura around his body began to shrink rapidly, causing his body to return to its original appearance. He strode into the palace without looking back.
At that moment, Vincent and Justin were standing side by side in front of the city gate. They looked inside the city gate with curiosity.
Justin turned his head to look at Vincent and asked curiously, "Aren"t we going to rush over to a.s.sist Serene Spring City now? Why are we still waiting here for Ramirez to chase after us?"
After returning to Vincent"s body, Justin wanted to rest but Vincent insisted on summoning him again, to prepare for a battle of resistance against Ramirez.
However, after waiting for a long time, he still did not see Ramirez chasing after him. Justin, who was somewhat exhausted, felt a sense of relief.
Vincent, who was holding the Cup of Fate and constantly replenis.h.i.+ng his psionic power smiled bitterly and said, "Now is definitely not the time to fight to the death with Ramirez. Why do you think I"m willing to stay here to stay on guard against him? I"m worried that if Ramirez really chased after us, the two of us might be able to escape, but wouldn"t the Dark Elves that are escaping to Serene Spring City be killed by him? Thus, we have to either confirm that Ramirez will not chase after us or we will have to beat him to death so he would not hurt the other Dark Elves. Otherwise, we would be sacrificing the lives of all the Dark Elves in Imperial City to a.s.sist Serene Spring City. It is never worth it to trade a life for a life!"
Justin nodded and asked, "If Ramirez really comes after us, the two of us will be in a bitter battle with him. Then, wouldn"t Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City be finished? Those Dark Elves who are rus.h.i.+ng to Serene Spring City are just sending themselves to their deaths!"
Vincent smiled with a cunning look and said, "I"m not stupid! Even if I stop Ramirez, I won"t fight him to the end. As long as I get his attention and lead him to run in the opposite direction of Serene Spring City, when we are far away, I can use the s.p.a.ce tunnel to quickly return to Serene Spring City. At that time, Ramirez won"t be able to catch up to us even if he wanted to. By the time the Dark Elves in Imperial City reach Serene Spring City, the battle will already be over. There won"t be any danger!"
Justin nodded and said in a deep voice, "Kid, you are full of schemes and tricks. Even someone as powerful as Gajero will be plotted against by you sooner or later! I have just experienced a great battle. My current condition is a little unbearable. I need to immediately return to your body to rest. Perhaps this time, I will fall into a deep sleep. It is not certain when I will wake up. Kid, before you prepare for the final battle with Ramirez, it is best for you to ask me if I have woken up. You must not send yourself to death while I am in a deep sleep!"
Vincent smiled and waved his hand. He replied, "Don"t worry! Without a powerful helper like you, even if I were to fight with Ramirez, I wouldn"t go! Moreover, we really need some time to recover. When you wake up again, I believe that my Hand of G.o.d will be fully charged. At that time, we will give Ramirez a fatal blow together!"
Justin sighed softly, "Then I wish you good luck!"
He then entered Vincent"s body and no longer made a sound.
After Justin disappeared, the s.p.a.ce in Vincent"s body that was used to store psionic power was quickly filled up. However, the price was that the psionic power that had been acc.u.mulated in the Cup of Fate for a long time had all been used up in one go.
After putting away the Cup of Fate, Vincent looked worriedly at the Imperial City"s gate once more. After confirming that there was no sign of Ramirez, he turned around and opened the s.p.a.ce tunnel to enter.
Following that, Vincent used s.p.a.ce jump to quickly rush toward Serene Spring City. He soon arrived at the battlefield outside Serene Spring City.
Vincent, who was spiritualized with fire all over his body and twelve Flaming Wings spread out on his back had suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
"Our G.o.d is here!"
The believers in Serene Spring City shouted loudly when they saw Vincent. Some of them even gave up fighting and knelt on the ground to wors.h.i.+p Vincent.
Vincent looked at the believers who were kneeling on the ground and said loudly, "Everyone, retreat back to the city. Leave the rest of the battlefield to me!"
The residents of Serene Spring City did not dare to hesitate at all when they heard their G.o.d"s order. They immediately got up and retreated into the city. The Dark Elf army that followed Gordon and the other apostles was stunned on the spot. They completely forgot to chase after the residents of Serene Spring City.
Vincent"s gaze swept past the ordinary soldiers and finally landed on the three apostles.
At that moment, Blanche was busy with Avril and did not even notice Vincent"s arrival.
On the other side, Robert was in a battle with Angelina. He was frantically dodging the law chains around him. When he saw Vincent appear on the battlefield, he started panicking even more.
The most tragic one was Gordon, who was in the middle of the battlefield. His armor was already incomplete, and he was panting heavily.
Kurt, who was standing opposite Gordon, was also injured. The illusory dragon scales covering his body were badly damaged, and his throat was also injured. He was unable to use his dragon might again.
Vincent saw Kurt covered in injuries and said softly, "Go back and heal your injuries. The battle should be over soon!"
