Chapter 228 - The Trap Succeeded

In the Arena of Life and Death, Vincent used countless fire threads to create a huge and dense net. Dexter had no choice but to continuously split into smaller water droplets, shuttling through the fire net to dodge.

However, Vincent who was in the air kept splitting the flames in his hands into layers of fire nets. He stacked the nets and kept repairing the hole in the nets until they completely disappeared.

After seeing his opportunity to escape gradually being sealed off, Dexter had no choice but to retreat to the center of the arena. He gathered all the water droplets and returned to his original human-like figure. However, he became much shorter as compared to when he first entered the arena.

As he flowed through the fire nets, it was inevitable for some water to evaporate amidst the fire. The strength of the Weak Water Race was closely related to the number of water droplets they used to form themselves. As he had lost a lot of water, his strength was not the same as before. He did not even have the strength of a level 20 creature!

“Ultimate Evil Lord! Help! Quickly let me out! Let me out!”

Dexter no longer had the determination to continue fighting. He could only raise his head and ask for help loudly.

Vincent held the Purgatory Blade in his hand and landed behind Dexter. He said with disdain, “Stop daydreaming! There is an iron rule in the Arena of Life and Death. Only one person can live in a duel between two people! Even the Lord of Ultimate Evil cannot go against it!”

After Dexter heard Vincent’s voice, he was so terrified that he did not even turn his head back to look at him. He raised his head and continued to shout whilst his entire body was trembling, “Lord of Ultimate Evil! You promised me. You can make any conditions! I don’t want to compete anymore. Let me out!”

When the entire audience saw the scene, they could not help but shake their heads. They did not expect that the originally even match would turn into one begging for mercy. It was really disappointing!

However, the only one who was truly disappointed was Dexter!

Vincent had shocked and surprised everyone!

In one day, he had jumped from a level 17 creature to a level 20 creature. If they knew that he was only a level 12 creature seven days ago, they would not be able to imagine the potential he actually had.

However, what the audience did not know was that Vincent was already a level 17 creature. The reason why he was able to rise three levels in one day was that he had never given up on training. His foundation was extremely good. Plus, he had also absorbed the flame core which doubled his efficiency in training. That was why he was able to create a miracle!

“Fire Asura! God of the Arena of Life and Death!”

“Fire Asura, kill this coward!”

“Kill all the opponents! Fire Asura!”

A one-sided cry was heard from the audience seats. The voice supporting Vincent sounded like rolling thunder. It even shocked Dexter, who was wailing bitterly in the arena!

The Lord of Ultimate Evil was looking down at the battleground from the top floor. A hint of disgust and anger flashed in his eyes.

Dexter growled in a low voice, “B*stard! When I decided to participate in the competition, I promised that I would win, but now I’m crying like a coward and sullying my reputation. I deserve to die, even more than the Fire Asura!”

Irene, who was waiting quietly at the side, lowered her head and said, “It seems that there is no way to kill the Fire Asura today. Tomorrow, I will arrange for an even higher-level opponent. I guarantee that he will die in battle!”

The Lord of Ultimate Evil turned around and looked at Irene impatiently. He wanted to lose his temper, but he suppressed it. Instead, he said in a low voice, “Ever since you came back, you have always wanted to kill the Fire Asura. Your desire to kill him is even stronger than mine! What exactly happened that made you want to kill him?”

Irene raised her head and said stubbornly, “Because he disobeyed you, he deserves to die!”

The Lord of Ultimate Evil was speechless, but a trace of doubt arose in his heart. He even had some guesses.

It seemed that he could not just listen to Irene’s words. It was necessary for him to meet Vincent!

“You go back and rest first! Don’t follow me!” said the Lord of Ultimate Evil.

He then quickly walked downstairs.

Irene watched him leave in a hurry. She heaved a sigh of relief. Her face was unprecedentedly relaxed. She then turned around and walked towards her residence cheerfully.

In the Arena of Life and Death, Vincent walked behind Dexter and stabbed him using the Purgatory Blade in his hand. The blade went straight through Dexter’s chest.

Following that, raging flames ignited on his blade. It instantly vaporized the body that the Weak Water Race was proud of.

“Ah!”

Dexter let out a miserable cry. He was burnt to ashes under Vincent’s blade!

“The winner of this match is Fire Asura! Today is his third victory in a row. Let us congratulate him, and at the same time, let us look forward to his next performance!”

Amidst the cheers of the host and the audience, Vincent quietly turned his head and walked out of the arena.

At that moment, the managers of the arena no longer dared to go forward to escort Vincent.

Although Vincent was only a level 20 creature and was not strong compared to the manager, who could guarantee that Vincent’s strength would not be above that of the managers the next morning?

What made people fear Vincent was not his strength, but his talent!

“Go back!” said Vincent as he looked at the two managers who were at a loss.

The two managers immediately turned around and walked in front of Vincent. They were like guards of honors, leading Vincent to the corridor of his residence.

At the same time, in the rooms along the corridor, all the contestants were avoiding Vincent’s gaze. They were afraid that Vincent would remember them!

Although some of the contestants were even stronger than Vincent, they could not guarantee that they would always be stronger than Vincent.

Vincent seemed to have already guessed the situation. His actions became more and more arrogant. He even took the initiative to turn his head to look at the surrounding rooms with a provocative and mocking gaze.

Finally, he arrived at his room. Vincent looked at his room door that was slowly opening on its own. He froze.

He saw the Lord of Ultimate Evil sitting in his room. He was like a prisoner waiting to fight.

Vincent smiled and sighed softly, “What a rare guest!

The Lord of Ultimate Evil looked at Vincent. He narrowed his eyes and said with a slight smile, “I really didn’t expect you to survive!”

Vincent walked into the room calmly and replied casually, “Lucky! I did not expect you to arrange a battle for me with that weak aquaman. It really caused me a lot of trouble!”

The Lord of Ultimate Evil waved his hand to signal for the manager to close the door. He then looked at Vincent and asked curiously, “Did Irene come to look for you yesterday? What did you say? Why did you reject my offer to help you?”

Vincent raised his head and narrowed his eyes. He looked at the Lord of Ultimate Evil and said, “You want to control me! You want me to hand over my soul! You even used your daughter to seduce me, but she didn’t do as you said. Not only did she not cooperate with me, she even slapped me!”

The Lord of Ultimate Evil listened to Vincent’s plan. He could not help but smile and nod. No matter how fast Vincent leveled up, in his eyes, he was similar to an ant. So what if he was exposed?

However, when the Lord of Ultimate Evil heard the second half of Vincent’s explanation, he was suddenly stunned. He lowered his neck. His eyes widened as he looked at Vincent in shock.

“Wait! What did you say? You had a sexual desire for Irene, and you got beaten up by her?” asked the Lord of Ultimate Evil in disbelief.

“Yes!” said Vincent whilst nodding.

The Lord of Ultimate Evil was at a loss at first. Suddenly, he raised his head and laughed loudly. He pointed at Vincent and said, “You! You’re really too impatient! Irene is my adopted daughter. Although she doesn’t cultivate, no species from the bottom to the top would ever dare to harass her. You’re really the first person to do that in the capital of Ultimate Evil!”

Vincent frowned and asked, “What do you mean when you say I’m too impatient?”

“Because Irene has always been in love with you! Actually, as long as you speak nicely to her, she will definitely agree to whatever you want eventually!” said the Lord of Ultimate Evil with a smile.

At that moment, he realized that Vincent and Irene had a falling out over a private matter and did not go against his wishes. Therefore, the Lord of Ultimate Evil was in a great mood and even had the intention to recruit Vincent.

Vincent felt awkward, and his face was covered in a cold sweat. Originally, he and Irene had discussed everything and came up with a plan. The plan was to create an illusion to keep the Lord of Ultimate Evil hopeful and make him think that he could still recruit him.

However, it was not in the plan for Irene to fall in love with him!

Why would the Lord of Ultimate Evil speak so confidently, as if Irene had personally admitted it?

“This, I think there might be some misunderstanding!” said Vincent somewhat awkwardly.

The Lord of Ultimate Evil waved his hand and said, “There is no misunderstanding! I will not misjudge the daughter that I raised myself! Don’t worry about the competition for the next few days. Although Irene has arranged the hell race schedule for you, I will arrange some weak opponents for you instead. When Irene’s anger has finally subsided, we will discuss the matters of loyalty in the future!”

Vincent immediately waved his hand and said, “Hey! Let me say this first. I only pledge loyalty to my own race. I have never thought of pledging loyalty to you!”

“No rush, no rush. These are things that can be discussed in the future!” replied the Lord of Ultimate Evil with a smile.

He had full confidence in Vincent. He believed that after promoting the relationship between Irene and Vincent, he would not have to worry about finding a way to make Vincent pledge his loyalty to him.

At that moment, Vincent’s determination no longer seemed disrespectful to the Lord of Ultimate Evil. Instead, the Lord of Ultimate Evil just treated the whole matter like a normal grudge between boys and girls!

After seeing that the Lord of Ultimate Evil had taken the bait, Vincent could not help but scratch his chin. He smiled and asked, “Are you that magnanimous? Not only are you prepared to make things less difficult for me, but you have also arranged a competition schedule to help me train. You are even prepared to give your daughter to me. Aren’t you afraid that when the time comes, you will lose everything and your daughter as well?”

The Lord of Ultimate Evil was full of confidence and said repeatedly, “I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid! If you really become my son-in-law, will I still worry that you won’t be loyal to me?”

Vincent nodded and pointed at the Lord of Ultimate Evil. He said, “Alright! We’ll do as you say. If I become your son-in-law, don’t even think that I will give you my soul. What we are doing is called working together!”

“Eh…”

The Lord of Ultimate Evil was at a loss for words. He looked at Vincent and said blankly, “This… seems to be different from what I wanted to say! Did you misunderstand me?”

“It can’t be wrong! We’ll be good partners in the future!” said Vincent firmly.
