Starting With 3 S-Class Talents-Chapter 525 - Killing a Demon General, Improving His Realm

Chapter 525: Killing a Demon General, Improving His Realm

“Yes!”

After all the demons heard the general’s order, they immediately begin to search the area where Vincent had disappeared.

Vincent was currently lying on the roof of a two-story building. With the help of the light, he perfectly concealed himself and carefully observed the demons below.

The demons were all well-trained. During the search process, they were automatically divided into three groups and formed a triangular formation. It seemed like they had no flaws.

However, to Vincent, no matter how well-trained these demons were, they were all going to die that day!

Vincent proceeded to carefully hide in a room on the second floor. He took out the Cosmic Threads from his storage ring. He believed that it was indeed suitable to use the demon’s divine weapon to punish the demons who had invaded the Spirit World.

Vincent stretched out his Hand of God and forcefully controlled the Cosmic Threads. Transparent threads rose into the air and descended from the sky under Vincent’s control, drilling into the bodies of the surrounding demons.

As the search area of the demons gradually expanded, the area where Vincent was hiding was constantly being monitored. More and more demon teams appeared in Vincent’s sight, and they gradually became puppets in Vincent’s hands.

However, after Vincent controlled the third demon team, the demon general who had been standing on the main street suddenly focused his gaze and looked toward the sky above the housing area.

He shouted, “Everyone, retreat immediately. He has the Demon Race’s Cosmic Threads in his hands!”

Vincent who was in the housing area did not know how he was exposed. However, when he heard the sound of footsteps gradually fading away from his surroundings, he knew that the other party had found out about his methods.

After all, the cosmic thread was the Demon Race’s divine artifact. Their understanding of the Cosmic Threads was definitely far above his.

However, Vincent did not give up just like that. This was because he was in control of the nine demons and was controlling them to rush toward the direction of the demon general.

Since the other party wanted to gather his subordinates, then Vincent could use this opportunity to plant spies. This way, he would be able to know the demons’ every move.

Vincent put the nine demon spies to use and once again saw the demon general standing in the middle of the street with a solemn expression.

At the same time, Vincent had also read the memories of the demon soldiers through the Cosmic Threads. He soon learned the identity of the demon general.

His name was Nicholas and he was the leader of the 26th Exploration Corps under the command of the Demon Race leader, Gajero. He was also the 26th general under Gajero. Previously, he had followed Gajero to invade nine worlds and had let the 26th Exploration Corps massacre a total of six races. He was ruthless and merciless. He was an out-and-out villain and murderer!

After receiving the information, Vincent’s eyes turned solemn. This intruder’s crime was unforgivable. His demon hands have been stained with so many blood debts.

Regardless of whether it was out of respect for the order of the universe or for the safety of himself and the Human Race, Vincent had to kill Nicholas!

After counting the number of demons, Nicholas realized that everyone had returned to his side. He could not help but frown and ask, “Did you feel anything strange just now? Did you notice that your companions were acting strangely or were in a daze?”

All the demons shook their heads. The nine demons controlled by Vincent also shook their heads and pretended that nothing had happened.

Nicholas frowned when he saw this. His expression was very ugly because he understood the Cosmic Threads very well. It was impossible for such a powerful divine artifact to be activated without anyone falling for it. This could only mean that the spy who is controlling the Cosmic Threads had infiltrated his team!

However, Nicholas did not know who was being controlled!

Nicholas said with a profound gaze, “Everyone, abandon the housing area that you have just inspected and start exploring toward the city center. Check to see if there are any other spirits around. Once you discover anything abnormal, immediately release the signal. I will go and support you at the first possible moment!”

“Yes!”

The demon soldiers received the order with a blank look. They then turned around and walk toward the inner city. They seemed to be unable to understand the general’s actions.

Only Vincent, who was behind the Cosmic Threads, saw through Nicholas’s plan. He wanted to send all his subordinates and spies away to create an opportunity for him to observe everything in the dark.

However, Vincent would not give him such an opportunity!

“Kurt, you have to be careful. There’s a team of over 20 demons heading in your direction. Be careful to avoid them in advance! If you can’t avoid them, you have to resist them with all your strength. The bigger the commotion, the better!”

Vincent transmitted a message to Kurt through his mini earphones. At the same time, he raised his hand to open a space door and pushed the Cosmic Threads into the space tunnel.

Although the Cosmic Threads could pass through the space barrier, they could not maintain control of the demons. Therefore, Vincent could only bring along the Cosmic Threads into the space tunnel. Only then would they not affect his next move.

After dealing with everything, Vincent drew the Return Journey of the Dead from his waist and ran downstairs rapidly. He was approaching the main road of the city. He wanted to run behind those demons and replicate the ambush in front of the city gate.

However, when Vincent arrived at the main road, a strong sense of danger instantly surged into his heart.

Vincent frowned and sighed, “Not good!”

He instantly stopped and raised the blade in his hand. He stood in a defensive stance.

At the same time, a tall demon figure descended from the sky and appeared in front of Vincent. He raised his five fingers that were as sharp as blades and fiercely grabbed towards Vincent’s head.

“Clang!”

Following the sound of metal colliding, Vincent held his knife with both hands and continuously retreated. Nicholas was standing before him!

“B*stard, how dare you steal the treasures of our Demon Race and sneak attack our warriors? Today, I will definitely kill you with my own hands and destroy this world. Let’s see how weak races like you, who are on the verge of death, can still disturb the patriarch’s plan!”

Nicholas’s pitch-black eyes suddenly lit up to show his anger. He did not hesitate to tell Vincent about his cruel plan.

Vincent did not respond. He only sneered at Nicholas. At the same time, he raised his knife again and chopped down at Nicholas.

In the face of a violent intruder, any excuse was unnecessary. The most effective response was to kill him completely!

Nicholas did not retreat at all in the face of Vincent’s brazen attack. He raised his hand in front of his body and clenched it. A pitch-black long sword soon appeared in his hand.

Nicholas roared, “Shattering mountains and rivers!”

He held the hilt of the sword with both hands and swung it forward forcefully. It collided directly with Vincent’s Return Journey of the Dead.

“Weng!”

Under the violent collision, a terrifying shock wave was created. Vincent’s body that was in mid-air flew backward in an instant.

Nicholas was also continuously retreating. He used the hilt of his sword to push against the ground in time to stop his retreat.

Vincent, who was flying in the air, spread the flaming wings on his back and immediately stopped. He slowly landed on a building and looked at Nicholas warily.

This demon in front of him was only a level 50 creature, but he made Vincent feel unprecedented pressure. It was as if he was facing a level 75 creature like Ramirez!

Nicholas lowered his head to look at the big sword in his hand and said in a deep voice, “Ever since my Natal Magic Weapon was forged, I have never met such a tough opponent. It is already very impressive that you can take my sword, but I will not give you any chance next!”

Vincent frowned. He had never heard of the magic weapon that Nicholas was talking about. At least in the memories of the demons he controlled, there was no information about the magic weapon.

At this moment, Justin’s voice suddenly rang in Vincent’s mind.

“The Natal Magic Weapon is an ability that only a small portion of the elites of the Demon Race can possess. They can separate a portion of their energy from their bodies and through continuous refinement, they can create a weapon that is exclusive to them. This weapon is abnormally sturdy and has a very terrifying demonic nature. If an individual is struck by their weapon, they may be demonized! For him to be able to become a general under Gajero with the strength of a level 50 creature, shows that his talent is extraordinary. You have to be careful!”

After Justin finished explaining the information about the Natal Magic Weapon to Vincent, he did not say anything more, nor did he take the initiative to offer help to Vincent.

Vincent did not force it and was even lazier to ask because he knew that Justin would not bother to help him deal with an opponent of this level. Right now, he could only rely on the knife in his hand!

“Purgatory of Nature!”

Vincent gently waved the knife in his hand. The space around him changed instantly. The dark green space replaced the surrounding streets. Huge tombstones fell from the sky, creating endless cracks on the ground. Hot magma surged out from the cracks in the ground and gathered between Vincent and Nicholas like a river. Countless fire spirits crawled out from the magma and swarmed toward Nicholas.

Nicholas looked at the scene in front of him and could not help but shout in shock, “I didn’t expect you to have comprehended a part of the domain power. It seems that your talent is indeed outstanding. For the sake of the Demon Race, I will definitely eliminate you today!”

Vincent raised his left hand, pointed at Nicholas, and said, “Stop talking big. Not only will I end your life today, but I also want that weapon in your hand!”

After hearing Vincent’s angry provocation, Nicholas was about to respond with disdain when he suddenly realized that the surrounding space had started to rotate.

He did not know that Vincent had taken the opportunity to gently rotate the hilt of the knife in his hand while he was speaking and had secretly activated the ability of the space key!

This was the ability of the Hell’s Blade, inherited from the scepter of the Ultimate Evil Lord. It could make subtle adjustments to any space, and at the same time, it also had 100% authority to modify the space that it created!

Vincent wanted to re-modify the structure of the Purgatory of Nature!

Under Vincent’s will, the originally flat surface of the Purgatory of Nature began to undulate. Scarlet mountains rose from the ground, and the river that flowed on the ground also turned into a waterfall made of lava. It carried with it a scalding heat wave along the ground.

Under Vincent’s control, the evil spirits that had just climbed out of the river began to huddle together, fusing their bodies into one, gradually forming a small mountain that was more than ten meters tall.

As Vincent continued to rotate the hilt of his Hell’s Blade, the small mountain formed by the evil spirits began to gradually take shape, condensing into a huge dark red skeleton!

Nicholas was completely shocked by his unknown ability, especially the moment when the tall skeleton appeared. Nicholas felt as if he was being stared at by a monster. He could become food in its mouth at any time!

Nicholas shouted in panic, “What, what is this thing? You clearly have not fully comprehended the domain power. How can you freely control space?”

However, he did not hear Vincent’s response.

In a moment of desperation, Nicholas no longer cared about his dignity and started to run. He wanted to find the boundary of the domain and escape from Vincent’s control.

However, when Nicholas ran to the boundary of the Purgatory of Nature, he suddenly realized that the huge tombstones had fallen from the sky. They had surrounded the boundary in an orderly manner, forming a towering wall, blocking all his exits!

Vincent did not stop at that moment, because he still felt that it was not enough. Under his command, the tall skeleton took the first step and then walked toward the lava waterfall with ease. He grabbed a ball of hot lava and poured it over his body.

After pouring the lava on his body, a thick layer of armor soon condensed on the surface of the dark red skeleton. The armor was as red as the skeleton, and on top of it, there were many ferocious-looking ghost images.

Vincent then used his mind to control the space again. The ground under the dark red skeleton suddenly cracked, and a dark red giant sword that was nearly 10 meters long rose from the ground. The hot lava flowed along with the dark patterns on the edge of the sword as if it would never dry up.

Vincent then activated his Flaming Sun Divine Body. He flapped the flaming wings on his back fiercely and flew into the air. He raised his hand and threw out two balls of flames. They flew straight toward the eye socket of the dark red skeleton.

“Boom!”

As the two balls of flames struck the eye socket of the giant skeleton, the skeleton began to gain consciousness. It seemed to have a life of its own. It raised its hand and pulled out the greatsword in front of it, while its other hand reached for the waterfall of lava. It grabbed a handful of lava and poured it over its head, condensing the lava into a dark red helmet.

At that moment, the dark red skeleton’s entire body was covered in armor. He wore a helmet on his head that only revealed its flaming eyes. It was like a god of war that could destroy the heavens and earth!

Vincent crossed his arms in front of his chest. The divine spark of fire between his brows began to emit dazzling light. As he continued to flap the flaming wings on his back, a large amount of divine light slowly descended and scattered on the dark red skeleton’s body.

“In my name, I will give you a brand-new life. From today onward, you will be called Hades and take charge of this Purgatory of Nature for me!”

As Vincent chanted with divinity, the dark red skeleton figure held a sword in one hand whilst his other hand was pressed against his chest. He bowed respectfully to Vincent, expressing his incomparable loyalty to Vincent. He had accepted Vincent’s title.

At the same time, Nicholas, who saw the scene, began to scratch his face like a madman because he could not believe what he had seen. He shouted in disbelief, “This is impossible! How is this possible? How did you bless a skeleton and give it a real soul? This is an ability that only gods can have, how did you do it?”

Vincent, who was flying in the air, turned around. He looked at Nicholas and sneered, “Didn’t you come to kill me under the orders of Gajero? Then why don’t you think about how I offended Gajero? How did I get the Cosmic Threads? It is all because I have killed all the demon teams that you left behind in Elf World! Even the oracles left behind by Gajero have been eliminated by me! I am now a god of the Elf Race and in the space that I have created, I am the god that can dominate everything!”

After hearing Vincent’s words, Nicholas’s heart sunk.

Even if he was higher in level compared to Vincent and had not lost to Vincent just yet, he could feel like he was about to die in battle.

Nicholas, who was in despair, suddenly opened his arms. His entire body trembled as he chanted, “Dear Lord Gajero, please listen to your servant’s prayers. I have already found your enemy, but please forgive me for not being able to complete the mission you entrusted me with!”

As the chanting continued like thunder, the image of Gajero suddenly appeared above Nicholas’s head.

The figure that was projected was just quietly watching Vincent, but it brought him immense pressure!

Vincent knew that this image was his greatest enemy, Gajero. However, at the same time, he also knew that Gajero could not rush over in an instant. So, after taking a deep breath, he raised his blade and pointed it at Nicholas. He shouted in a deep voice, “Hades, kill him for me!”

The dark red skeleton, who was more than ten meters tall, did not hesitate at all when he heard that. He took two steps forward and arrived in front of Nicholas in an instant. He raised the giant sword in his hands high and swung it downward.

When the phantom of Gajero above Nicholas saw the scene, it instantly dispersed on its own, as if it had given up on this loyal subordinate.

However, the phantom of Gajero soon turned into specks of starlight and fell onto Nicholas’s body, causing the demonic aura in his body to soar instantly. At the same time, it also greatly increased the demonic nature in Nicholas’s heart, making him go berserk in an instant.

“Roar!”

Nicholas let out a monster-like roar. He had completely lost his mind. He raised his pitch-black broadsword with both hands, hoping to block the giant sword of Hades.

A burst of fiery light emerged, and endless lava burst out from both sides of Hades’s sword. The ground of the Purgatory of Nature also shook a little.

The earth shattered causing lava to fly everywhere. There were also two balls of demonic aura that were beginning to collapse under Hades’s sword!

Given Hades’s terrifying strike, the demon core in Nicholas’s body was shattered in an instant. He completely lost the chance to resurrect.

When Vincent saw this, he immediately took out the Cup of Fate and collected all of Nicholas’s remaining demonic aura. He then turned it into the purest psionic power and transferred it back to his body.

“Buzz!”

As the psionic power was injected into his body, Vincent realized that his realm had increased again. Furthermore, after absorbing a large amount of psionic power, he directly advanced to a level 48 creature!
