Chapter 268 - Cruel Slash, Upgraded on the Spot
Chapter 268: Cruel Slash, Upgraded on the Spot
In the Arena of Life and Death, after Ebenezer heard Vincent’s speech, the illusory black figure under his black robe did not move for a long time. It was not until he let out a long sigh that he raised his head to look at Vincent.
“Master, I understand. Today’s battle is not about freedom, nor is it about grudges. It is just a battle between you and me, master and disciple! Please rest assured, I will not show any mercy. I also hope that the Master can show all of his strength. This way, even if I die, I will be satisfied!”
When Vincent saw Ebenezer’s resolute look, he reckoned that he had already lost all hope for his master. However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had no other choice.
“As you wish!”
Vincent shouted in a deep voice and took out the Purgatory Blade using his right hand. The Hand of God on his left arm immediately turned into a sharp blade. The two blades hung quietly by his sides. He was waiting for Ebenezer’s attack.
“Master, sorry for offending you!”
Ebenezer shouted softly and his hands turned into blades. He charged towards Vincent at high speed.
A black shadow instantly rushed from one side of the arena to the other. Immediately after, everyone saw Ebenezer leap high into the air. He raised his sharp arms and thrust towards Vincent!
“This isn’t the best time. You’re still a little impatient!” said Vincent softly.
He then raised his blade and slashed towards Ebenezer.
“Whoosh!”
With a slash, Ebenezer’s figure suddenly turned into a mass of thick black fog. There were no limbs flying in the air as everyone had expected, nor was there blood splattering all over the place as they had imagined. The black fog that Ebenezer had turned into expanded bit by bit until it completely enveloped the space around Vincent.
Vincent looked at the surrounding space that had suddenly turned into darkness. Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult and even impossible for him to capture the Shadow Demon.
“Disciple, it seems that I’ve underestimated you! Right now, you’re just one step away from becoming a qualified assassin!”
Vincent sighed softly. He then turned around and raised his dual blades, as if he was waiting for the next attack.
“Clang!”
Everything happened according to Vincent’s predictions. The sharp blades that Ebenezer’s hands had transformed into suddenly emerged from the black fog. However, they ended up crashing into the dual blades that Vincent had prepared.
Vincent looked at the attack that he had easily neutralized. He smiled and said, “As an assassin, the greatest taboo is to let your target capture your emotional fluctuations. Once your emotions are controlled by the target, no matter how well you hide your figure, it is equivalent to exposing yourself to the other party completely!”
After listening to Vincent’s teachings, Ebenezer slowly retreated his arms. The friction between the blades produced intense sparks.
“I will remember my master’s teachings!” said Ebenezer in a disappointed and cold voice. His blades disappeared into the black fog once again. His aura and emotions also converged, as if he had completely merged with the surrounding environment.
Vincent could not help but say, “Very good! This way, your ambush will be flawless. But you have to be careful next because I will not show you any flaws!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Vincent’s entire body suddenly turned into a fire spirit, as if he had transformed into a scorching sun that was filled with infinite energy!
“Fire God Break!”
Following Vincent’s loud roar, majestic flames suddenly surged out from his body. Endless heat surged in all directions, instantly filling the surrounding dark space. Vincent still had spare energy to continue expanding outwards.
“Boom!”
Ebenezer’s black fog could no longer contain the flames released by Vincent. It shattered into countless tiny wisps of black smoke and instantly drowned in Vincent’s red light.
The audience outside the stadium once again saw Vincent’s indomitable fire god avatar. Vincent displayed his ability to merge with the flames completely after taking control of the fire.
His body was the flame. As long as the flame was not extinguished, he would never disappear!
The black fog that slowly dispersed condensed into Ebenezer’s figure. He laid on the ground, clutching his chest as he struggled to stand up. He looked at the indomitable giant flame in front of him and knew that he had no hope of victory.
However, he had never thought of seeking victory. He only wanted to prove to his master that he was not a disciple that could be abandoned at will. He still had a deep potential and an even stronger will!
“Shadow Assassination!”
Ebenezer roared. He raised his arms above his head and pressed his palms together. His entire body transformed into a pitch-black sharp blade. It then pierced towards the heart of the giant flame!
His attack obviously could not cause any damage to Vincent. However, Ebenezer was determined to give it a try even if he had to risk his life.
The Shadow Demon warriors could only die on the way to the attack. They could not die passively under the attacks of their opponents!
Everyone who was paying attention to the battle let out a sigh. This was because they could tell that there was no need for the Fire Asura to make any movements. All they had to do was wait for Ebenezer to charge into Vincent and this battle would end.
With the difference in strength being so obvious, Ebenezer still launched his moth-like attack. He was deliberately seeking death!
However, what everyone did not expect was that Vincent was not willing to win so easily!
Vincent, who was standing proudly in the arena, extinguished his flames. He revealed his figure that was suspended in mid-air. He raised his hand to touch his Purgatory Blade. He then charged straight towards Ebenezer.
At the same time, Vincent’s voice echoed in the arena.
“You want to die with all your heart? I’m sorry, I won’t allow it!”
Just as he finished speaking, Vincent had already rushed in front of the pitch-black sharp blade. He raised his hand to attack. The pitch-black sharp blade instantly dissipated, transforming into Ebenezer’s figure as he fell to the ground.
Meanwhile, Vincent was the first to catch Ebenezer’s falling body. His Hand of God transformed into a long chain, binding Ebenezer’s neck, while his right hand stabbed straight into Ebenezer’s chest.
Everyone watched the scene with their mouths agape. They did not expect Vincent to be so heartless in front of his disciple who had taken the initiative to seek death. He would rather stab him personally than let him die with dignity!
At the same time, there was an even more shocking scene.
Vincent, who had just fallen to the ground, flung Ebenezer’s body to the side. His entire body suddenly burst into flames that could not be controlled. Everyone was familiar with the situation. It was his psionic power that was overflowing. It was a sign that he was about to advance again!
At that moment, all the audience members stood up one after another. They were quietly paying attention to the terrifying aura that Vincent had just emitted.
What they wanted to know at that moment was Vincent’s level.
“Boom!”
As the rings of flames reverberated continuously in the arena, a red light suddenly soared into the sky. It was accompanied by a powerful pressure that spread to every corner of the audience stands outside the arena.
“A level 30 creature! He did it!”
Some of the high-ranking nobles who were not afraid of such pressure could not help but mutter and sigh when they realized that Vincent had leveled up.
“It seems that from now on, another overlord will appear in the capital of Ultimate Evil!”
