Chapter 554 - Stop in Time, Backstab Your Companion

The battle changed rapidly. Even Gajero did not expect his attack to turn 360 degrees in the air and hit his back.

Lazarus could not help but turn to look at Vincent in confusion. As the Phantom Emperor of the Phantom Race, he had never heard of such a powerful expert. For a moment, he could not help but doubt whether Vincent was a member of the Phantom Race.

However, Vincent’s face was very common in the Phantom World. Lazarus firmly believed that Vincent was one of his own men after only one look because he had never thought that the original Vincent would travel to the Phantom World. He even stood by his side.

The light of destruction finally dissipated. No matter how strong Gajero was, he would not be able to escape from his attack. At that moment, Gajero’s body had been completely shattered, leaving his demon core exposed.

“Quick, shatter that thing immediately. Who knows, it might be able to stop Gajero’s resurrection!” shouted Lazarus excitedly.

Lazarus did not know the secret of the Demon Race, and he had never beaten Gajero to such a state.

However, Lazarus knew that the Demon Race had the talent of being indestructible. Therefore, the moment his demon core appeared, he thought that it might be the key to the Demon Race’s immortality!

Vincent just smiled and pretended to know nothing. He immediately launched an attack on Gajero.

“Death Ray Cannon!”

“World Domination!”

“Flaming Extinguishing Gods!”

Vincent displayed the extremely destructive moves he had mastered continuously, trying to seize the opportunity to shatter Gajero’s demon core.

Although Vincent knew that there was a huge difference in strength between him and Gajero, and it was basically impossible to defeat Gajero in such a tricky way, Vincent felt that there was no reason for him not to try.

The purplish-black death ray, his crimson flaming knife, and the line of fire that had transformed into an inescapable net struck Gajero’s demon core all at the same time.

However, Gajero’s demon core did not shatter just like that. Instead, it suddenly lit up with a ray of golden light, isolating all attacks, protecting Gajero.

After seeing this, Lazarus did not continue to attack. Instead, he sighed helplessly, “Although your attacks are very powerful, he seems to have equipment on him that can avoid damage. There’s no time now. We can only think of a way to shatter his body once more, and then do our best to destroy that vertical eye-shaped thing!”

Vincent nodded and continued to act as an ordinary member of the Phantom Race. He asked softly, “Then what should I do next?”

Lazarus thought for a moment and said softly, “Think of a way to neutralize the destructive storm he created first. That way, we will have more space to move around and continue to fight against him! However, I think this method might be difficult to achieve unless we can find some unique abilities…”

Before Lazarus could finish speaking. Vincent took the lead and waved his hand. He summoned the Purgatory of Nature again.

Vincent’s fire domain slowly spread out and instantly occupied the central area of the destruction domain where Gajero was standing.

Although Vincent and the others were still inside the destruction domain, they had Vincent’s fire domain protecting them so they could not feel the attack of the destructive storm again.

“This…”

Lazarus turned his head to look at Vincent in shock. He could not understand how the young man beside him could have so many strange tricks up his sleeves.

A red light suddenly flashed past Vincent’s side. Justin’s figure appeared not far away. The three of them surrounded Gajero.

At that moment, Gajero had completely recovered. His eyes were fixed on Vincent in front of him, completely ignoring Lazarus and Justin.

Gajero said in a deep tone, his eyes filled with killing intent, “You are still alive! I didn’t expect you to be able to grasp methods that even I couldn’t imagine. You can actually change the rules in my domain. This is something that one can’t even do using authority!”

Vincent raised his Return Journey of the Dead and pointed the tip of his blade at Gajero. He shouted in a deep voice, “There are many things that you can’t imagine! When you’re dead, I’ll come to your grave and slowly explain it to you!”

When Gajero heard this, he could not help but sneer. He turned his head to look at Lazarus. He shouted angrily, “Do you really think that he’s a member of the Phantom Race? How can you not realize that the ability he grasped isn’t something that the Phantoms can grasp?”

Lazarus said indifferently, “I am a genius of the Phantom Race! No matter what you say today, it will not stop us from joining hands to kill you!”

Lazarus had no doubts about Vincent. Instead, he kept looking cautiously at Justin who had suddenly appeared.

This other creature who appeared as a soul was definitely not a member of the Phantom Race. Therefore, Lazarus was more suspicious of Justin’s identity and position.

Following that, Justin suddenly said, “Gajero, you destroyed my Vampire World. I turned into a soul and followed you for so long. Finally, I found a chance to take revenge. Today, you will definitely die!”

After experiencing so many big scenes with Vincent, Justin had also learned Vincent’s ability to lie on the spot. With a simple sentence, he had molded himself into a bitter soul who wanted to take revenge on Gajero.

Lazarus was overjoyed when he heard that. This was because, in his eyes, the enemy of his enemy was his friend!

Although Justin was not a Phantom, his goal was the same as his. At that moment, he even thought that Gajero was already a dead man!

However, Gajero did not get angry. Instead, he laughed and said, “Very good! Since you all want to die, then I’ll grant you your wish!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gajero made a bold move. He clenched his left hand in the air in front of him, and a magic staff instantly appeared. He used his right hand to take out a wide-blade longsword from his ring and rushed toward Vincent and Lazarus.

Vincent did not dare to be careless. He knew that with his own strength, fighting against Gajero head-on would definitely be suicide. Thus, he immediately took half a step back and assumed a defensive stance. At the same time, he summoned the puppet in his heart.

As Gajero gradually approached, Hades, who was bathing in the lava in the distance, instantly rushed over. He waved the huge sword in his hand and blocked Gajero’s blade for Vincent.

“Sky Demon Curse!”

Gajero’s battle experience was very rich. The moment the long sword in his hand was blocked, he immediately began to chant using the staff in his left hand. He was prepared to use his curse method and activate the Demon’s Heavenly Punishment.

However, just as Gajero finished chanting and was about to point the tip of his staff at Vincent, a black shadow flashed past. It used both of its hands to grab onto Gajero’s staff, preventing him from locking onto Vincent.

Gajero looked at the figure blocking his way. It was Gaia, his most loyal subordinate. Gajero wanted to vomit blood.

This was because Gajero knew that one of the three great demon treasures, the Cosmic Threads, was in Vincent’s hands. He could naturally imagine that Vincent would take advantage of Gaia when his demon core was exposed and take control of him.

The anger and hatred in his heart could not help but rise again.

Gajero growled at Vincent through Hades’s blade, “No matter what, you must die today!”

Suddenly, a ray of destructive light shot onto Gajero’s face, forcing him to step backward.

“You still want to threaten the Phantom Race when you’re about to die. Don’t forget that your opponent today is me!” shouted Lazarus.

Lazarus rushed to Gajero with a surging destructive aura and kicked Gajero away arrogantly.

Justin, who was waiting at the side, also took the opportunity to attack. He controlled the blood-red light next to him and wrapped it around Gajero. He then began to extract the life force in his body.

Under the forceful attack of the destruction law and the constant consumption of the blood law, Gajero’s body began to show dense cracks. It was as if he was a statue that could break into countless pieces at any time.

“Ah!”

Gajero, who was showered in blood-red light, suddenly roared. His body once again emitted a dazzling golden light, which helped him successfully avoid the damage of the destruction law and blood law. He also took the opportunity to escape from Justin’s control.

After regaining his freedom, Gajero did not immediately counterattack. Instead, he retreated to a relatively safe distance. He put his hands together in front of his chest and shouted with a solemn face, “10,000 Law Evasion!”

Golden light enveloped Gajero’s entire body like armor, making him appear incomparably holy. It was as if he was out of this world.

When Vincent saw this, he could not help but feel shocked. This was because he suddenly realized that Gajero had already left the domain, yet he was still standing in front of him. This meant that he had avoided all the rules of his fire domain!

Vincent sighed with a solemn expression, “With our difference in strength, it is indeed difficult to kill Gajero. He really has too many tricks up his sleeve!”

The reason why he was able to continuously refract Gajero’s death rays in the air was that his Return Journey of the Dead had fused with the Ultimate Evil Lord’s weapon and had the weight of a world. It had the ability to obtain the domain key and could 100% modify one’s own domain. At the same time, it could also slightly modify the rules within the domain of others.

However, even a universe-level weapon could only slightly change the rules within the domain. Gajero had completely avoided all the rules within the Purgatory of Nature. This was enough to prove how powerful he was. It had already exceeded the limits of what Vincent could handle!

Vincent turned to look at Justin, shook his head slightly, and said softly, “The overall situation has been decided, there are no more chances left. We can now begin our plan!”

Justin raised his eyebrows slightly in disappointment, nodding his head slightly in agreement.

Lazarus looked at Vincent curiously once again, because he could not understand why his own men would have known Justin for a long time, and even had a plan in advance!

However, the situation of besieging Gajero was already set, so Lazarus did not have time to think too much.

Lazarus roared and rushed toward Gajero, “That’s right. Today, Gajero will die here. Everyone seize the opportunity and attack him together!”

He thought that Vincent and Justin would definitely follow him and attack together.

However, what Lazarus did not expect was that Vincent was controlling Hades and Gaia to attack Lazarus.

Justin also went forward to attack him at the same time. He flashed behind Lazarus and threw a blood-red ball of light into Lazarus’s body.

“It’s impossible to kill Gajero today, so we can only kill you, idiot!”

After giving Lazarus a disdainful taunt, Justin instantly retreated, leaving Lazarus alone to face Gajero, who was about to go all out..
