Chapter 435 - One against Four, the Slaughter Began

The four demons saw countless Vincent clones raising their blades at them. Despair and terror instantly rose in their hearts.

However, they knew very well that if they did not resist at that moment, they would not stand a chance when Vincent made his move!

Theodore, who was holding the Devil Dragon’s Spine, immediately shouted, “We cannot give him any chance to attack. These clones are just illusions, they are unable to possess the abilities of his main body. We must destroy these clones and find his main body as soon as possible!”

Before he even finished speaking, the Devil Dragon’s Spine in Theodore’s hand had already turned into a long whip. It was as long as a python. He lashed out at the dozen or so Vincent clones who were closest to him.

“You’re right. We can’t just sit around and wait for death!”

Quinn, who lost the Wheel of Hell, hated Vincent the most among the four of them. He immediately roared and pounced toward the Vincent clone who was closest to him.

Darren and Titan also realized that there was no time to lose, so they quickly used their own methods to attack the clones that were closest to them.

Titan once again opened the last page of the Elf Codex. With a sharp gaze and a serious expression, he chanted, “Omen Thunder Tribulation! Ice Purgatory!”

Two giant formations instantly appeared in the tunnel. They were being constructed at a speed visible to the naked eye. One of the formations burst out with dazzling bright lightning, while the other formation spewed out fierce winds containing countless sharp ice blades.

When the ice blades and lightning struck one of the Vincent clones in the tunnel, the clone immediately shattered and turned into a ball of flames. It was swirling continuously.

After seeing that his attack was effective, Titan could not help but reveal a delighted expression. He controlled the formation to continue attacking the other Vincent clones.

The other three also realized that their attacks were effective. They destroyed the clones one after another successfully. For a moment, everyone felt confident. They worked even harder to destroy all the Vincent’s clones that were within their sight.

While the four of them were busy, none of them noticed that the flames that had been shattered by them were slowly gathering in one corner!

They thought that Vincent had hidden his main body amongst the clones. However, they did not know that Vincent had actually divided himself into equal parts and was hiding within the scattered flames.

As Vincent had divided his power into countless parts, he was naturally weak. However, when his clones dissipated into flames and gathered once again, he managed to repossess all of his strength!

Titan shouted to the others while controlling the formation, “Everyone, put in more effort. We are about to get rid of all the clones!”

Darren was waving his fists excitedly as he shouted, “That’s right! So many clones have been destroyed. He doesn’t dare to step forward using his real body. This means that he must have been seriously injured. When we find his main body, we will definitely be able to kill him successfully!”

After listening to what Darren said, the other three could not help but become more excited. They had once again reignited their hope of defeating Vincent.

As long as they killed Vincent, they would be able to receive the reward that Gajero had promised them. Not only would they be able to enter Imperial City successfully and identify themselves as demons, but they would also be like Gajero. They would be able to stand at the peak of power and be admired by tens of thousands of elves. This was the goal that the four of them pursued together!

Quinn tore apart the last few Vincent clones that were in front of him using his daggers. The four of them were stunned to discover they had cleared up all the Vincent’s clones that were in the passageway.

However, even when the last Vincent clone disappeared, they still did not see Vincent’s original body. This made them feel somewhat at a loss. They could not believe what had just happened.

At that moment, the four of them suddenly felt like the light around them had gradually dimmed. This was not a special effect of the Demon World. The fire that had lit up the entire passageway had just gradually disappeared.

Darren and the others turned their heads to look in the direction where the fire had disappeared. They saw Vincent fully spiritualized with fire. He had twelve wings of fire on his back. His left arm had turned into a long golden knife, and his right hand was holding the Return Journey of the Dead.

Vincent raised his head slowly and said to the four of them with a cold smile, “Thank you all for helping me with a small favor. Otherwise, it would have taken me some time to reconstruct my body. Now, I won’t waste your time. The rest is up to me!”

The four of them could not help but widen their eyes at the same time. They did not expect to fall for Vincent’s trick in the end.

Vincent had taken the initiative to say that he wanted to attack them with all his might earlier, forcing them to kill the clones in order to protect themselves. They thought that they were killing Vincent. However, they had helped Vincent to recover instead.

As they thought about it, they realized that they only needed to take advantage of the moment when all of Vincent’s clones were not strong enough. They could then capture them and deal with them together. Only then would they be able to get rid of this strange fellow!

However, as Vincent had returned to his peak condition, Darren and the other three did not have the slightest intention of fighting anymore.

In the next second, Vincent’s body moved instantaneously. It was like a cannonball that had shot out of its shell. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of the four of them. Two blades, one gold and one black, instantly slashed past everyone’s eyes.

Following that, everyone felt a chill on their necks. Vincent had completely disappeared before their eyes. A wave of burning heat soon came from behind them.

Darren and the other four demons rolled their eyes. While their brains were still thinking, they subconsciously made the decision to turn their heads to look behind them.

However, when their heads turned around slowly, they all fell to the ground powerlessly. There was a neat cut on their necks.

Vincent looked at the four demons who had lost their heads. A black demon world aura suddenly emerged from the cut on their necks. He knew that his attempt had failed. Their demon cores were not located there.

Vincent took a deep breath and sighed softly, “It seems that when dealing with the demons in the future, I must remember not to be in a hurry. Finding the demon core is really time-consuming!”

Without waiting for the four demons to recover from their injuries, he raised his knife with both hands and quickly thrust it into the air.

Vincent swung his knife at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind afterimages of countless blades in the air. The tip of Vincent’s knife was like a headless fly. It left dozens of wounds on the bodies of the four demons.

He wanted to take the opportunity to try his luck on the four demons and see if he could find their demon cores.

“Bang!”

Just as Vincent stabbed Darren’s lower abdomen with his blade, a slight explosion sound came from his body. Vincent immediately realized that it was the sound of his demon core being shattered!

Vincent smiled and sighed, “I found you!”

He then withdrew his other blade and once again slashed toward Darren’s lower abdomen.

Darren’s body was directly split into two, revealing a black ball of air that looked like an eye. The demon core was located at his lower abdomen.

Darren tried to form a connection with the upper half of his body. He raised his head slightly and made a weird and distorted expression. He shouted very unwillingly, “Take revenge for me, you must take revenge for me!”

As Darren shouted, Vincent turned his blade and directly crushed Darren’s demon core. Darren’s entire body shattered into a mass of pure black demon world aura.

Vincent’s left hand recovered in an instant. He took out the Cup of Fate from his storage ring to store Darren’s demonic aura. The cup melted it into the purest spirit to be fed back to his body.

“Hooray, take off!”

Vincent could not help but let out a comfortable cheer as he felt the psionic energy in his body reach its maximum capacity. He then bent down and picked up a necklace that had fallen to the ground.

There was a storage ring hanging on the necklace. The faint blue light proved that the storage ring was filled with the Origin Divine Earth. This was the last storage ring that Darren had on his body. The other ten rings were still on Titan and the other three apostles.

After Vincent kept the necklace, he turned to look at Titan and the others. The three apostles had recovered completely. When they saw Darren being killed by Vincent so fast, they could not help but feel even more terrified.

Titan looked at Vincent with fear on his face. He quickly shouted and asked the two other apostles beside him, “His strength is not something that the three of us can defeat. We can only defeat him if we summon the remaining seven apostles and work together. This is an impractical ambush. We cannot complete the mission at all! I think we should just hide from him for now. We’ll go back and explain the situation to the oracles in the Imperial City. Gather all the apostles first! We’ll kill him after!”

Theodore naturally did not have any objections at that time. He quickly nodded and replied, “Alright, I support us to retreat!”

Quinn gripped his dagger tightly with both hands and glared at Vincent. His heart was filled with anger. He wanted to take revenge for the Wheel of Hell. However, he still retained his rationality. He knew that if this stalemate continued, he would not be able to take revenge for his weapon. Therefore, he just nodded and said, “Let’s go!”

After the three of them made up their minds, they immediately split into three directions and dived into the surrounding soil.

Vincent looked at the three apostles who had disappeared into the tunnel in an instant. He could not help but exclaim, “Even Andre and Sophia don’t have this kind of ability to move through the soil. It seems like Gajero has given you a lot of new abilities! Unfortunately, I’ve already said that none of you will be able to escape today!”

A tunnel token suddenly appeared in Vincent’s hand. With a light stroke, he had opened the space door.

When Vincent walked into the space tunnel, he saw Dave waiting for him not far away.

“Titan ran in that direction. Quinn ran straight up!”

Dave knew that Vincent could not waste any more time, so he immediately pointed out two directions for him.

Vincent nodded and said to Dave, “Go look for Theodore. The other two are dead!”
