Chapter 401 - Battle Between Humans and Demons, Temporarily Safe

Vincent was currently in the main hall of Bright Moon City. He was standing behind a seven-man team that was killing each other. In front of him was Andre who was filled with a dense demonic aura.

Andre was once again clad in armor that was condensed from the demonic aura. He had a pair of demonic wings on his back, and the demonic horn on his head had turned from black to red. It seemed to have gathered a large amount of energy. He was also holding a large broadsword in his hand.

Andre said loudly, “I’ll give you another chance. As long as you take me underground to find a very hidden cave entrance, I can spare your life! And I can hand over Dave to you. I can even give up the Devil Flame City that you two want!”

Vincent narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Cut the crap. I won’t agree to any of your conditions. Just do it!”

Andre pointed his sword at Vincent and said with a sneer, “When we were in Hell’s Rose, the two of us had already fought. You are no match for me at all! I really don’t know where you got the courage to attack me again!”

“Really? Then let’s try again!” said Vincent with a sneer.

At the same time, flames began to emerge from his body. As the flames rose, they completely burned off his Dark Elf appearance, revealing his original human face.

“Fire God Avatar!” shouted Vincent.

His entire body suddenly turned into majestic flames that soared into the sky, forming a towering flame giant.

At the same time, a majestic battle intent surged in Vincent’s body. A large amount of psionic power flowed through his left arm into the crystal spear. The crystal spear, which was originally only two meters long, suddenly became abnormally huge. It was like a giant pillar that supported the sky.

Vincent soon released his hand that was holding the spear. At the same time, the Fire God Avatar that appeared above Vincent suddenly raised its arm and grabbed the crystal spear that was just as tall.

Vincent proceeded to grab his knife with both hands and spread the Flaming Wings on his back. He then slowly flew into the air. The flame giant behind him held the crystal spear like a god of war, pointing it directly at Andre below.

Andre looked at Vincent’s appearance and could not help but laugh.

“This same move again! Do you think that having an extra spear will increase your strength? It’s really not new at all!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Andre’s entire body suddenly released a demonic aura, and a huge black giant condensed behind him. He was imitating Vincent’s Fire God Avatar. He did the same back in Hell’s Rose.

But what was different was that Vincent’s Fire God Avatar held a weapon in its hand, while the black giant behind Andre did not even have a weapon in its hand. It only faced off against the Fire God Avatar with its bare hands.

This was because, in Andre’s head, the battle would probably end very soon. He was planning to defeat Vincent quickly and easily, not giving him any chance to catch his breath!

“Die, kid!” shouted Andre loudly.

The demon wings on his back flapped, and he instantly disappeared from his original position. In the next second, he appeared in front of Vincent and raised his sword to stab Vincent’s chest.

However, Vincent did not retreat nor did he dodge. He did not even cross his knife to block the sword that stabbed into his chest. Instead, he stabbed the long knife in his hand forward fiercely, aiming straight at Andre’s chest.

“A pillar supporting the sky!”

Blazing flames instantly gathered on the blade. They pierced into Andre’s chest along with the formless blade aura, forming a pillar of fire that pierced through Andre’s body. It shot straight into the distance.

At the same time, the broadsword in Andre’s hand had already pierced into Vincent’s chest. However, the fire-spiritualized Vincent could completely ignore any physical attacks. He did not care about the great sword that was in his chest. Instead, he used his hands to twist the Return Journey of the Dead, causing Andre’s chest to be churned into minced meat.

At this moment, Andre could not help but spit out a mouthful of black blood. He said in surprise, “I did not expect that in just a few days, you actually advanced from a level 35 creature to a level 40 creature! Moreover, you were actually able to pierce through my sky demon armor. I really underestimated you! But you’ve also underestimated my strength, and you’ve even underestimated the Demon Race’s vitality!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of demonic aura suddenly emerged from the great sword in Andre’s hand. It flowed along the blade of the great sword into Vincent’s fire spiritualized body. The pitch-black demonic aura was not afraid of the high temperature of the flames at all. The aura instantly dyed the flames on Vincent’s chest pitch-black!

Vincent, who suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, sensed that Andre still had the strength to fight. He hurriedly pulled out his Return Journey of the Dead and quickly retreated.

“It’s too late!”

Andre roared loudly and continued to fly forward with the sword in his hand. He wanted to continue infusing the demonic aura into Vincent’s body. Vincent, who was flying backward, was not afraid at all. He hooked his left finger gently and the Fire God Avatar in the sky instantly turned the spearhead in its hand and stabbed directly at Andre below.

If Andre continued to pursue Vincent relentlessly, he would definitely be nailed to the ground!

After Andre realized Vincent’s strength, he did not dare to give Vincent such a chance to counterattack. He could only stop and pull the huge sword out of Vincent’s body.

After a short round of entanglement, Andre and Vincent pulled away from each other and stared at each other vigilantly.

Andre was standing with his sword raised. The flesh and blood on his chest started to recover slowly. The source of the demonic aura was actually inside their bodies, which symbolized the darkest and most brutal negative energy. As long as the energy core was still there, their bodies would always recover.

Earlier, Vincent had tried his best to stir Andre’s chest in order to destroy the energy core. Unfortunately, he could not do it!

After seeing that Andre was recovering from his injuries, Vincent also stabbed his hand into his chest and tore off the pitch-black fire spiritualized body. He then threw it to the side. The hole in his chest was quickly filled by the flames that surged in from all directions. He looked brand new as if he had not suffered any injuries.

Andre looked at Vincent’s recovery ability, which was even faster than his own. He could not help but be secretly surprised. He had originally thought that the Demon Race’s ability was already the strongest ability among the 10,000 races of the Black Hole. However, he did not expect Vincent to always have the means to ensure that his ability was on par with that of the Demon Race. He even surpassed it!

“Kid, I advise you to admit defeat! Today, I will definitely not let you off. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can recommend you to the oracles in the Imperial City. I can even let you become a demon like me!”

After seeing that Vincent had already recovered while he was still recovering, Andre could not help but open his mouth to speak. He was trying to stall time for himself.

Vincent sneered and said, “Become a demon? Are you insulting me?”

Andre narrowed his eyes because he suddenly remembered that not long ago, a foreign race had intruded Elf World and destroyed the statue of Gajero in Dark Yuan City. After thinking about it, he realized that the foreign race was Vincent who was standing in front of him.

Since he dared to hack at the statue of Gajero, it meant that he definitely did not want to become a demon. It was obviously not a smart choice to invite him to become a demon.

Andre was embarrassed and angry at the same time. He suddenly remembered the black giant that he had condensed. Just as he was about to control the black giant to attack Vincent, he suddenly heard an explosion above his head. He looked up subconsciously. In the end, he saw the Fire God Avatar piercing the head of the black giant using its crystal spear.

The black giant instantly dissolved into the demonic aura that filled the sky. It then returned to Andre’s body.

Andre sighed in surprise in his heart, “Could it be that he was multitasking just now, battling me while controlling the flame giant to attack my demonic aura giant?”

He did not expect the person in front of him to be far stronger than he had imagined. If he wanted to defeat Vincent, he would have to put in a lot of effort.

“How can a mere level 40 creature defeat me?”

Andre suddenly roared with confidence. The wound on his chest had also recovered. He raised the giant sword in his hand and charged at Vincent.

Vincent looked at Andre who was charging at him and immediately controlled the Fire God Avatar to raise the spear to stab downward. At the same time, his Return Journey of the Dead instantly turned into a giant flame blade that was dozens of meters long.

“Dominator of the world!”

He slashed the sharp giant blade along with countless flames toward Andre. At the same time, the Fire God Avatar in the sky also stabbed downward on Andre’s head. The two attacks that were enough to destroy the world landed on Andre’s body.

However, Andre did not raise his sword to block. Instead, he began to chant rapidly, “In the name of the Demon Race, grant me invincibility!”

In an instant, the black demonic aura on Andre’s body suddenly dissipated. Instead, what flowed out of his body was an extremely disgusting-looking black mucus.

However, the demonic power contained within this black mucus was hundreds of times stronger than the demonic aura from before!

When Vincent’s blade and spear fell, Andre’s entire body was covered in black mucus. He was like a pool of mud that was walking upright. He completely shattered under Vincent’s blade and spear and flew in all directions.

After seeing that Andre had transformed into mud and scattered, Vincent could not help but frown as he looked around. He discovered that the black barrier that had gathered in the sky had not dissipated yet, and the roars of monsters could still be heard from the hall behind him.

This meant that Andre’s formation was still being maintained, and he was not dead yet. In fact, he might still be safe and sound!

Suddenly, Vincent noticed that the black mud that had been splattered all over the ground started to gather together slowly. They began to rebuild Andre’s body. Just as Vincent was about to raise his Return Journey of the Dead to take his life whilst he was still gathering parts of his body, a dangerous premonition suddenly flashed through his mind. At the same time, he noticed the invisible figure that was charging toward him once again.

“Flame Extinguishing Gods!” shouted Vincent.

Countless tiny fire lines instantly flew out from his body, forming a huge spider web that covered Andre who was recovering.

At the same time, Vincent waved his blade and turned around to block the invisible attack. Vincent waved his blade several times in the air. He managed to seal off the opponent’s attacks.

However, Vincent could not help but feel like something was not right. The attack that he was facing was much weaker than the first attack that he had raised his spear to block. It was enough to suspect that these two attacks were not caused by the same opponent!

The first one was stronger, and the one after was weaker!

As Vincent pondered, he suddenly had a thought. He flew forward with all his might and formed a wall of fire in front of him.

Suddenly, Vincent saw a clear cut across the wall of fire. The only weapons that could leave such a cut were the knives that he and Dave were carrying.

“I’ve finally found you!” sighed Vincent softly.

This was because he realized that the invisible person in front of him was Dave who had disappeared, and the moment Andre replaced Dave was when he was dealing with the first attack. As he needed to focus on sensing the invisible danger earlier, he did not have the time to pay attention to Dave.

Andre had pushed Dave into the hall and made him invisible. He then acted as Dave and remained by his side!

After understanding all of this, Vincent knew that he could not entangle himself with Dave anymore. He turned his head and looked in the direction where Andre was.

At that moment, Andre had just completed his recovery. He was currently two and a half meters tall, and his dark skin flickered with a metallic luster. He was standing quietly on the spot. The surrounding space felt like it was slowly being torn apart. He casually raised his hands and pulled forcefully. He tore apart the flame spider web that covered his body.

Vincent looked at Andre who had upgraded again and could not help but snort coldly, “Hmph! Another one who can evolve. I just don’t know who is stronger between the two of you!”

At the same time, he raised his weapon and charged forward again.

“Come on, this time I’m going to eat you alive!”

Andre could not help but roar as he charged toward Vincent. He charged toward Vincent with all his might.

“Crash!”

As Andre charged forward, cracks soon appeared in the space along the way. This meant that the Elf World could not withstand the tremendous power contained within his body at this time.

“Sky Demon Slash!”

Andre rushed in front of Vincent and roared. He raised his palms that were like steel blades and slashed at Vincent with all his might.

Vincent, on the other hand, had the raised blade hanging by his side. He said softly, “Splitting the heavens and earth!”

He did not focus the fourth form of the eight forms of Heaven’s Will on the blade’s momentum, but the endless battle intent that could open the heavens and earth!

If this blade could create a world out of thin air, it could naturally destroy a world as well!

At this moment, countless battle intents surged out from Vincent’s body like waves at the sea. Wave after wave of battle intent surged out in all directions. The first to bear the brunt was Andre, who was in front of him.

When Andre’s palms were about to strike Vincent’s body, he suddenly felt a formless and terrifying power coming from his palms. Following that, his ten fingers were cut in half. Cracks soon appeared on the metal-like armor on his chest, pushing him backward.

Andre’s eyes were filled with shock as he felt the intense pain. He could not understand how Vincent could unleash such a powerful attack!

Vincent just stood there calmly with his knife. As long as he held the knife in his hand, he would become one with the knife.

The continuously surging battle intent around him led to a terrifying attack. It was the combination of his knife aura and battle intent.

This attack could not only break Andre’s ten fingers but also repel the demonized Andre. At the same time, it could directly break the formation that covered the sky above Bright Moon City!

“Boom!”

With a loud sound, the demonic aura in the sky instantly dissipated. Rays of sunlight sprinkled down on the earth, and the surrounding environment was no longer gloomy. All the noise instantly stopped.

Vincent looked up and found that the place where Andre was sent flying was gone. That strange and unpredictable demon had once again disappeared!

“Vincent!”

At this moment, Dave’s surprised exclamation came from behind Vincent.

Vincent sighed lightly and put away the Fire God Avatar in the sky. He raised his left hand to catch the crystal spear that had shrunk. He then turned his head to look behind him.

He saw that Dave was standing behind him with his knife raised. The tip of the knife was only half a meter away from his body. Dave’s body was covered in blood and countless wounds had appeared. Some of them were from the knife wounds he had suffered while attacking Andre, some were from the wounds left by arrows and spears.

It seemed that after Dave had landed in the building’s hall, he had engaged in a battle with the seven-man team there!

Vincent ended his fire spiritualization state and sighed softly to Dave, “Don’t worry, it’s safe for the time being!”

Dave heaved a long sigh of relief. He lowered the blade in his hand and muttered, “It was too dangerous just now. I thought you…”

Vincent could not help but look in the direction where Andre had disappeared. He turned his head and asked Dave, “What did you see just now?”

Dave said, “Just now at the entrance of the hall, I suddenly felt someone pushing me from behind causing me to fall into the hall. Then I saw seven monsters. There were really seven of them! So, I fought with them to protect myself, but later I found out that these monsters could not actually see me, so I took the opportunity to leave the hall. As a result, I saw you fighting with a demon as soon as I left the hall, and you were always at a disadvantage. I didn’t know if that demon was my father, but I wanted to help you, so I rushed up and fought with that demon, but after that demon injured me, he suddenly stopped and retreated to where you are now, and then… the sky turned bright!”

After hearing Dave’s explanation, Vincent could not help but hold his forehead. In the end, he said helplessly, “Don’t worry, it’s your father who is too shameless! Actually, the demon you saw was the real me, and that Vincent who was always beaten up was your father!”

“Ah?”

Dave looked at Vincent with a blank expression. He then lowered his head to look at the knife wounds on his body. Only then did he realize that the one he had attacked was Vincent. It was also because he had discovered his identity at the critical moment that he kept retreating. Otherwise, he would have been killed by Vincent long ago!

After thinking about it, Dave shivered and turned to look at the hall behind him. Since everything he had seen earlier was fake, then the seven monsters in the hall must be the seven-man team, right?

At this time, in the hall, the seven Dark Elves who had come fully armed were already covered in wounds. They were sitting on the ground and looking at their companions. They were still in a daze. The monsters that they had fought with all their might earlier, how did they become their teammates in the blink of an eye?

After seeing this, Dave turned to look at Vincent and said, “These seven Dark Elves must know something about my father and Bright Moon City. Why don’t we go and ask them?”

Vincent nodded and said, “That’s fine too. Anyway, now that Andre can’t find the entrance from back then, he won’t touch the Origin Divine Earth for the time being!”
