Chapter 96 - One Step At A Time To Scare Off The Special-Cla.s.s Monsters
Vincent turned around and swung the Purgatory Blade in his hand. A huge chasm appeared in front of the monsters. It was 50 meters long and more than 10 meters wide.
"Since you know how to hibernate, then you must have gained wisdom. Those who are not afraid of death can try to follow us," said Vincent.
Vincent turned around and left with Chris and Nabil. They completely ignored the monsters behind them.
In fact, Vincent had long suspected that when monsters grew to a certain level, they would start to possess intelligence. Otherwise, the monsters would not even consider the combat strength of their target beforehand to determine whether or not they could kill them.
Many monsters that should not have been dormant were dormant. This was too abnormal.
Coincidentally, the lowest level of all the monsters was special-cla.s.s. Vincent wanted to test whether his guess was correct.
If the monsters were intelligent, they would have retreated after seeing Vincent"s attack. If not, they would just have to fight a fierce battle.
Vincent had experienced many fierce battles ever since he awakened his superpowers. The current battle was not bad either.
When the ferocious monsters saw that Vincent had created such a large hole using his blade, they all stopped and looked at Vincent in fear.
They thought that Vincent would not have much combat power left after so many battles. Plus, he had also been flying. Nevertheless, it seemed like that was not the case.
Some of the monsters were obviously afraid and had retreated. They returned to the battlefield and ate the corpses of the monsters that Vincent had left behind.
The corpses were left behind by Vincent on purpose to buy time for the three of them to escape.
There were also some monsters that chose to take the risk. They jumped across the chasm and started to chase after Vincent.
These monsters that were chasing after Vincent could be divided into two groups.
The ones with higher intelligence walked behind them or chose to hide.
The ones with lower intelligence chased after Vincent and attacked from behind.
Vincent looked as if he was not paying any attention to what was happening behind him. However, in reality, he had been paying attention all along.
After observing everything that had happened since he used Collapsing Mountain Strike to create a chasm in the ground, Vincent had a clear answer in his heart. There were some monsters that have indeed given up.
In addition, the monsters" pursuit had also been divided into two. Therefore, Vincent was 100% certain that he had guessed right.
The Golden Lightning Cheetah was the fastest. Just as it was about to pounce on Vincent, its head spun backward and was chopped off by Vincent.
Vincent had also attached h.e.l.lfire to his Purgatory Blade. This caused the Golden Lightning Cheetah to disintegrate right in front of the other monsters.
Another group of monsters chose to give up the battle.
"You guys go first, I"ll be right behind you," said Vincent to Chris and Nabil. They were both blocking the path of the monsters.
The current group of monsters was undoubtedly stronger than the Jumping Snakes.
Chris could feel that his body had not recovered much psionic power. He knew that he would only be dragging Vincent down if he stayed. Without any hesitation, he left with Nabil.
Before Nabil left, he cast a status buff on Vincent.
The monsters looked at Vincent and all stopped in their tracks. They did not dare to act rashly after seeing Vincent"s strength.
Vincent"s two slashes were enough to show how terrifying he was.
Vincent smiled coldly when he saw the monsters stopped attacking. He raised his Purgatory Blade horizontally and pulled it abruptly.
Whoos.h.!.+
A grey blade aura that was burning with black flames flew towards the monsters. It was shaped like a fan and was very fast.
The monsters started to dodge. However, the speed of the grey blade aura was too fast. Many of the monsters did not manage to dodge it completely. Some of them were scratched by the blade aura.
In the end, they all disappeared.
The system kept sending Vincent notifications in his mind.
"Is there anyone else who wants to fight?" shouted Vincent.
The attack earlier did not actually look very special. However, the damage was very powerful. 50% of the psionic power in Vincent"s body had been consumed.
Even though Vincent had his G.o.dly King"s Posture superpower, he still felt somewhat exhausted.
Vincent had no choice. If he could not scare off the group of special-cla.s.s monsters, the next 3,000 meters would definitely be their burial ground.
Vincent did not know what kind of monsters he would encounter in the 3,000 meters. One thing for certain was that it would definitely not be peaceful.
Plus, there was still a group of special-cla.s.s monsters behind him. The thought alone would make one shudder.
Although Vincent had the ability to kill special-cla.s.s monsters, he could only handle one or two of them at the same time.
For anyone to go against a hundred special-cla.s.s monsters at the same time was a death sentence. Even someone as powerful as Vincent would end up dying.
Instead of facing a death sentence, Vincent decided that it would be better to expend more energy and try to scare off the group of monsters. At the very least, their next path would be smoother and safer.
The monsters looked at each other. They could see the fear towards Vincent in each other"s eyes.
They only thought of Vincent as fat sheep. They had neglected that the fat sheep had terrifying combat strength.
A fat sheep may be very fat. However, one still needed to have the ability and capital to eat it.
The monsters knew that they did not have the ability to kill Vincent.
As Vincent took a step forward, the monsters scattered and ran back desperately. They were afraid that if they were one step slower, they would be killed by Vincent.
The monsters that hid in the dark also retreated quietly. They did not want to fight with a powerful human like Vincent.
Perhaps they could still fight him after becoming a lord-tier monster.
This was a common thought amongst the monsters.
Vincent did not know what the monsters were thinking. He also did not know that his actions would actually lead to the creation of a hundred lord-tier and even overlord-tier monsters in the future.
When they decide to fight against humans again, they will realize that humans were actually still quite weak.
Vincent let out a sigh of relief after seeing the monsters retreat. He was really afraid that the monsters would attack him regardless of the consequences. If that was the case, he would have to take a risk and release World-Cleansing Fire with all his might. There was a chance that he might lose control of it.
He turned around and chased after Chris and Nabil. He saw the two of them leaning against a huge rock not too far away. They were waiting for him.
The three of them reunited once again. Chris and Nabil listened to Vincent"s explanation of how he had scared the monsters away. They all had surprised expressions on their faces. They then laughed out loud.
On the way to the cave, the three of them encountered many high-cla.s.s and special-cla.s.s monsters. However, because of Vincent, they managed to reach the cave safely.
At the same time, Angelina and the others were in danger.
Teacher Chris was still unconscious. Although most of the snake venom in her body had been expelled, she was still seriously injured and could not recover in a short period of time.
This was also the reason why Vincent chose the cave. It could be used as a temporary resting place for everyone.
Swire was flying high in the sky. He was firing out of his psionic pistols. They were like machine guns.
Avril stood in front. She did not use the mountain-splitting ax that she usually used. Instead, she was holding a huge psionic s.h.i.+eld. The s.h.i.+eld had a width of two individuals and its height was as tall as two individuals.
Angelina stood behind her. She also attacked using her psionic pistol.
Their opponent was a Gale Vulture.
Gale Vulture was a special-cla.s.s monster. Its beak and claws were extremely sharp. Each of its attacks would cause terrifying damage. It could destroy gold and break jade. It also had the ability to control the wind. With a flap of its wings, it sent out two wind blades in an instant at an extremely fast speed. Its cutting power was even stronger than Vincent"s Collapsing Mountain Strike.
However, because of Angelina, the Gale Vulture could not use its wind blades at all. On the other hand, Angelina could use her wind blades to attack it. This made it feel very sullen.
