Chapter 456 - Three Days to Fulfill the Promise

In the space tunnel, Roderick’s body fell to the ground in front of Vincent and Linus.

Linus was on the verge of giving up. However, he was shocked beyond words when he saw the powerful and invincible demon falling weak under Vincent’s blade.

Nevertheless, Vincent did not feel any sense of achievement. This was because he knew that Roderick was not dead as the demon core in his body had not yet been destroyed!

Just as Vincent was about to attack, he suddenly stopped and frowned.

This was because he realized that Roderick’s recovery speed was extremely slow. Only a layer of faint black mist rose from his wound. He was unable to reattach parts of his body.

Vincent had already killed five apostles who had evolved into demons. Their recovery abilities were all more powerful than Roderick’s. Therefore, this phenomenon made Vincent feel especially strange.

Roderick also realized that something was wrong with his body and could not help but shout in fear, “Ah! What is this place? Why can’t I absorb anything?”

Vincent instantly understood what was going on. He smiled and sighed, “I almost forgot that if the demons want to recover from their injuries, they will need to absorb the negative emotions that linger in the environment. Whether it’s in Elf World or the Black Hole World, the demons can rely on negative emotions to repair the injuries that they have suffered. However, this space tunnel is an independent space that is parallel to the other worlds. Therefore, it won’t give rise to any negative emotions! The negative emotions in my heart have been suppressed. Linus’s negative emotions were stimulated by your filthy law earlier. However, in order to save him, I used the law of fire to remove all the negative emotions in his body. As there are no negative emotions around, you can only wait here and die slowly!”

After listening to Vincent’s explanation, Roderick’s eyes were filled with unwillingness and despair.

Linus, on the other hand, let down the last bit of vigilance in his heart. The world in front of him gradually became blurry, and he fainted.

Vincent looked back at Linus, who had already lost consciousness, and suddenly had a new idea. He then took out the space token and slashed at Roderick twice.

“Quarantine!”

The invisible barrier in the space tunnel instantly changed, separating Roderick’s body into three sections. He sealed the three parts of his body in small spaces to ensure that he would not be able to recover his body no matter what.

Vincent then began to control the platform under his feet. Roderick began to sink underground with him. They were heading straight for the well of filth under the palace.

The air quality at the bottom of the well had improved after Vincent removed a large amount of filth.

The six Elf Kings were sitting cross-legged on their seats with their eyes closed as they cultivated. They were using the last bit of their psionic power to maintain the final days of their lives.

Suddenly, a space door opened in front of the six of them, and Vincent strode out from the void.

Vincent asked softly, “How are the preparations going?”

The Elf Kings immediately opened their eyes when they heard Vincent’s voice and surrounded him with anticipation.

The Light Elf King quickly asked, “You came back so quickly. Is there any progress in the mission to kill the demons?”

Vincent smiled and waved his hand behind him. Roderick, who had been split into three pieces, emerged from the space tunnel and fell to the ground like minced meat.

“This, this is a living demon!”

The six Elf Kings could not help but shout in shock when they saw this. At the same time, they retreated in fear.

Roderick, who had returned to the Elf World, finally broke free from the space tunnel. His tremendous recovery ability began to manifest. A large amount of black aura started to condense at the bottom of the deep well. It gathered on Roderick’s wound and started to heal him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Vincent raised the blade in his hand calmly and slashed at Roderick, splitting him into a few pieces once again.

Roderick’s chance of survival was destroyed in the blink of an eye. He could not help but curse loudly, “B*stard! If you have the guts, wait for me to recover, and let’s fight for 300 rounds. Otherwise, I will not let you off even if I die!”

Vincent completely ignored Roderick’s curses and only paid attention to his recovery speed. He raised his head and said to the six Elf Kings, “I promised you before that I would bring you the head of a demon, but the demons that I killed did not leave anything behind, so I have no choice but to kill one in front of you!”

The six Elf Kings were shocked beyond words. Compared to his promise, his crazy actions were even more terrifying.

The demons had operated Imperial City for thousands of years. It was very difficult to kill a demon through sneak attacks. However, not only did Vincent find an opportunity to kill the demon, but he was also arrogant enough to bring the demon to the bottom of the well. He was prepared to kill the demon in public. Such a method was unimaginable.

Was he not worried that the dying demon would counterattack or send a signal to inform the other demons?

It was obvious that Vincent was not afraid at all. After explaining his purpose to the six Elf Kings, he began to slash at various parts of Roderick’s body.

Roderick, who was struggling to curse Vincent, finally realized that Vincent was trying to find the position of his demon core. After learning that death was near, he finally stopped struggling and turned to look at Vincent with hatred. He chanted the most vicious curse.

He shouted with a face full of grief and indignation, “Great Gajero, please listen to my chant and descend now. Remember this opponent who is determined to make an enemy of the demons. I am willing to pay the price of my life and curse him to die a horrible death!”

However, in the next second, a shattering sound came from Roderick’s body. His demon core was finally shattered under Vincent’s blade.

After losing the demon core, Roderick’s entire body instantly collapsed. He left behind a mass of pitch-black demon world aura.

Vincent took out the Cup of Fate skilfully and devoured all the Demon World aura into the cup, turning it into pure psionic power. He used part of it to replenish his own consumption, while the rest was stored in the Cup of Fate.

After dealing with everything, Vincent sheathed his blade and turned to look at the six Elf Kings, only to find that they were all looking up at the well.

Vincent asked curiously, “Hey, what are you guys doing?”

The six Elf Kings said somewhat nervously, “Before that demon died, he had already chanted a prayer to Gajero. Although you killed him almost at the same time, we are unable to determine whether you killed him before or after his prayer!”

Vincent smiled indifferently and said softly, “You guys are overestimating Gajero too much. Even if he can hear Roderick’s prayer, the demon who initiated the prayer ritual is already dead, so he can’t provide the Demon World’s aura as a medium. Therefore, Gajero can’t disturb us! Furthermore, Elf World doesn’t have a space tunnel for Gajero to descend into. There’s only a clone, so you guys don’t have to worry too much. After all, the final battle is approaching, so it doesn’t matter if we are exposed or not!”

The six Elf Kings could not help but look at each other in excitement. Although they knew that the final battle was led by Vincent, and the six of them might not be able to live until the end of the battle, they were still happy that someone could help the Elf Race resist the demons.

The Fire Elf King walked forward and said to Vincent solemnly, “To be able to be saved by you is the good fortune of the entire Elf Race. As the Elf King, we should thank you on behalf of our world and believers. If you have any requests or need anything, just say it. We will do our best to help you!”

Vincent did not have any greed in his heart. After all, he was not helping the Elf Race to benefit from them. He would not ask for rewards from the entire Elf Race just because of his contributions.

Vincent said to the Fire Elf King with a serious expression, “I am helping the Elf Race for myself. Now is not the time to negotiate terms. The most important thing is to immediately transfer the divine sparks on your bodies. Moreover, I have already brought along a suitable candidate for you!”

He then turned around and waved his hand. The unconscious Linus was also thrown out of the space door.

The Fire Elf King exclaimed in shock, “This is… my follower?”

He looked at Linus in disbelief, his eyes filled with anxiety and nervousness.

Vincent nodded and said, “He was once a Dark Elf. Fortunately, he turned back in time and changed his beliefs. He is now a Fire Elf with the strength of a level 40 creature. He should be able to inherit your divine spark, right?”

The Fire Elf King could not help but fall into deep thought. He then turned around to look at the other Elf Kings and exchanged a look. He shook his head and sighed, “If it were a few days ago, I would have been very willing to give the divine spark to this young man. But now, we have a better option, so we can only let him continue to be an ordinary elf!”

Vincent frowned and asked in return, “A better choice? Do you have any other methods?”

The Fire Elf King nodded and said, “Yes, of course! But now is not the time. There are still three days. Come back in three days. By then, you will know how excellent our methods are!”

Vincent took a deep breath and slowly sighed, “Alright, I will wait three days. At the same time, I also hope that your methods are really useful. Do not leave an irreversible disaster for the Elf Race to handle!”
