Chapter 43: Near-Death? Vincent’s Crisis

William was very unhappy that Vincent and Angelina were so close.

He could not tolerate Angelina being so close to Vincent.

Angelina was his fiancée!

Although Angelina did not want to admit it, she had no choice.

It was clear to William that he was no match for Vincent. Otherwise, why would he let him live on for so long?

While Vincent was killing the monsters, he had also been controlling the monsters.

There were more than ten monsters, and half of them were high-level monsters.

From the previous simulation battle situation, Vincent would definitely die.

Chris would not be able to find anything even if she wanted to investigate how Vincent died. 

This was especially since Vincent had left the safe zone that Chris had set.

This gave him greater mobility.

His underling had never killed anyone before. He was still rather resistant towards the idea of killing. 

However, William was the Prince of the Falcon Kingdom. He did not dare to disobey him, especially since he did not have a good family to support him. 

Just as Vincent was about to reach the underling's superpower range, the ground began to shake.

However, neither William nor the underling cared.

Vincent who was running suddenly stopped. He was unable to move at all.

"What's going on?"

Vincent was shocked.

"Why can't I move?"

Vincent felt the tremors under his feet getting closer and closer. He was very anxious.

"Hahaha! Vincent, you're going to die!"

William walked away. His face was ferocious.

However, at that moment, his underling that was standing behind him started to tremble. His facial expression changed. 

"Will! William! The! Prince! You! You..."

The underling saw the Monster Horde, and his face turned pale.

He reached out his trembling hand to pull William.

However, William only had his eyes set on Vincent. He did not care at all.

"Vincent, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for getting too close to Angelina."

William did not waste any more of his breath and waved.

"Babies, it's time to eat!"

However, his monsters did not move at all.

This made him stunned.

The Monster Horde was less than a thousand meters away from them.

William turned his head and saw his monsters lying on the ground. They were all struggling.

"What's going on?"

William thought that the monsters were going to break free from his control. He activated his superpower in a hurry. 

However, the monsters did not move at all.

"Prince William! Monster Horde!" the underling roared. 

Before he could finish his words, he turned around and ran.

Once he ran, the superpower that was directed at Vincent was naturally removed.

When William heard his underling, he raised his head and looked. Good heavens, there were monsters all over the mountains and plains.

He was so scared that he turned around and was about to run but Vincent grabbed him by the collar. 

"Prince William, a murderer always gets killed in the end. You brought this upon yourself."

Vincent then threw him in the direction of the monsters. 

"Ah! Vincent! You can't..."

Before William could even finish his words, he was bitten to death by a Red Lion.

Vincent escaped.

Although the distance between him and the monsters decreased because of William, Vincent was still hopeful. He wanted to live. 

He went and searched for a place to hide.

Just when the Monster Horde was a few hundred meters away from him, he finally found a cave.

He ran towards the cave in a flash.

The Red Lion that had eaten William roared in excitement and chased after Vincent along with a few other monsters.

Vincent ran at full speed. The Red Lion was trailing behind him. 

The distance between the Red Lion and Vincent was decreasing rapidly. Its front claws were about to grab onto Vincent's back.

Fortunately, the cave was right in front of Vincent. He pounced forward and narrowly avoided the Red Lion's claws.

The entrance of the cave was not big. As the Red Lion's body was huge, it could only fit one claw into the cave.

The Red Lion tried to scratch around the cave using its one claw. Vincent dodged quickly every time.

Although he was not injured by the Red Lion, his clothes were still torn into strips.

With a flip of his hand, Vincent summoned Hellfire and slapped the Red Lion's claws.

"Roar!"

The Red Lion let out a miserable cry and retracted its claws.

Its claws were burnt to just charcoal in an instant. 

As it was a fire attribute monster, it was resistant to fire to a certain degree.

If it was any other monster, there would not even be ashes left.

When the Red Lion saw Hellfire still spreading, it decided to tear off its front claw entirely. 

"Roar!"

The pain that it felt was similar to someone's heart being gouged out.

It was very angry that Vincent had managed to injure it. 

However, due to its large size, it could not do anything to Vincent at all.

It had no choice but to let the other monsters chase after Vincent to kill him. 

The monsters naturally would not let Vincent go. He was food after all. 

To the monsters, humans were simply a delicacy. 

The stronger the monster, the more delicious the human was.

The monsters all scrambled to enter the cave.

Vincent looked at the monsters and took out his Purgatory Blade, his eyes filled with death. 

"Beasts! Come on!"

He attached Hellfire to his Purgatory Blade once again and used Collapsing Mountain Strike.

Boom!

"Roar!"

The first monster that entered the cave was split into two before it could even react.

However, its fresh blood did not scare the other monsters.

Instead, it aroused their ferocity. Each and every one of them tried their best to enter the cave.

Vincent brandished his Purgatory Blade like a tiger. He fought against the monsters bravely.

At first, he was only facing one monster at a time. However, slowly, the number of monsters increased. One, two, three…

Suddenly, he was fighting six monsters at the same time.

The entire cave was filled with monsters. It was impossible for him to dodge. There was so little space, he could not even turn around. 

Monster Affinity; it was not that Vincent did not want to use the power but for some reason, it did not seem to work against the monsters when they were in a horde.

"Ah!"

Vincent was caught off guard and his right hand was bitten by a Bone-Eating Rat.

Clang! His Purgatory Blade fell to the ground.

Vincent, who was already in a bad situation, was in a worse position after losing his Purgatory Blade.

"Die!"

Vincent had no other choice. He used Hellfire to wrap his body.

His psionic power had been exhausted. It was his last resort and his last attack.

"Roar!"

"Roar Roar!"

"Roar Roar Roar!"

Vincent's attack was really sudden. 

None of the six monsters could react in time. They were directly ignited by Hellfire.

They let out a miserable cry and were burnt to ashes. 

At the same time, Vincent who was completely powerless at that point fell directly onto the ground.

He did not even have the mood to listen to what the system notification had to say.

Death was settling in permanently. So what if the system's reward was good?

The Red Lion had been paying attention to the battle. It roared in excitement after seeing Vincent exhausted. He no longer had the strength to continue fighting. 

The Red Lion was very carefree.

It used its remaining front claw to reach into the cave to grab Vincent.

It opened its bloody mouth and wanted to consume Vincent.

Vincent could smell its fishy breath. 

Everything became blurry, and Vincent slowly closed his eyes.

Although he no longer had any psionic power left in his body, he still thought of a way to kill the monster that would cause both of them to die together. 

He thought of it all of a sudden. 

Self-destruct!

He waited for the moment the Red Lion put him into its mouth. He was ready to activate self-destruct and die together with the Red Lion.

However, at that moment, a roar that Vincent was somewhat familiar with rang out. He immediately felt himself being grabbed and was placed gently on the ground.

He was very surprised. He opened his eyes. What he saw almost made him bite his tongue.
