Chapter 455 - Meet the Blade and Slay the Demon
Chapter 455: Meet the Blade and Slay the Demon
Roderick, who had been dragged into the space tunnel by Vincent, did not expect for there to be another Dark Elf in the strange space. Moreover, it was a Dark Elf that was wearing a golden mask!
This meant that his words had been heard by a Dark Elf. This was very likely to cause the Dark Elves to resist the demons!
“Hehehe, I didn’t expect there to be a Dark Elf eavesdropping by the side. It seems that I can only go on a killing spree today and kill the both of you!”
Roderick revealed a cruel laugh. His gaze gradually became ferocious.
Vincent did not take Roderick’s words to heart at all. He turned his head and asked Linus indifferently, “Did you hear what he said just now?”
Linus was still in a state of shock. He took a deep breath and nodded whilst trembling.
Linus turned to look at Roderick, his tone full of anger as he questioned him, “Is this our so-called God? The Dark Elves had given their most loyal faith to Gajero, but the demons are stealing the Origin Divine Earth that our Elf Race rely on to survive. They even regarded us as chess pieces that could be abandoned at any time. Is this the true face of the demons?”
Roderick had already revealed his true intention in front of Vincent. He was too lazy to say anything more to Linus. He directly raised the giant sword in his hand and said to Vincent, “Don’t assume that just because a random Dark Elf had heard our conversation that you can use this to threaten the status of the demons in Elf World! I wanted to use a more peaceful way to deal with the problem earlier, but now it seems that you are not sincere, so we can only fight!”
Vincent nodded and raised his hand to pull out his Return Journey of the Dead. He smiled and said, “Actually, I must kill you today. The reason why I was willing to talk so much with you just now was to let a lost son know his father’s sorrow! Now that you’ve said everything clearly, it’s time for me to help you on your way!”
Roderick frowned and said in a very confident tone, “I can see that you only have the strength of a level 40 creature, and I’m a demon with the strength of a level 47 creature! Aren’t you too naive to think that you can kill me?”
Linus took the initiative to walk to Vincent’s side and said in a deep voice, “If he can’t kill you alone, then count me in!”
Vincent could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He expected Linus to switch sides after learning the true intentions of the demons, but he did not expect Linus to directly challenge the Demon Race!
One had to know that the Dark Elves were at an absolute disadvantage when facing the Demon Race!
Roderick felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He said disdainfully, “Don’t forget that you’re still a Dark Elf! All the power in your body was given to you by the demons. With just a thought from me, you’ll lose all your power. You might even be devoured by the Demon World energy in your body and die on the spot!”
Linus slowly raised his hand and took off the golden mask on his face. He casually threw it at Roderick’s feet.
Roderick was stunned when he saw this. He saw a ball of fire jumping in Linus’s injured eyes. He then said with a sudden realization, “The power of fire! So, you have been keeping your faith in the Fire Elf King a secret. It seems like I must kill you today. Your behavior is the greatest insult to the demons!”
Linus slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He then let out a sigh of relief as if he had put down a heavy burden. At the same time, his pale skin turned dark red. His eyes had also turned red.
Linus, who had turned into a Fire Elf, glared at Roderick and said in a deep voice, “From the moment my father died, I realized that I might have been wrong, so I wanted to find a way out. As long as I find out that the demons are really plotting against the elves, I will immediately give up the power I got from you and defeat you with the power of the elves!”
As the High Priest of Dark Yuan City, Linus also had the strength of a level 40 creature. He believed that under the combined efforts of him and Vincent, they should be able to fight Roderick.
Linus could not wait to join hands with Vincent. He raised the spear in his hand and rushed toward Roderick.
Roderick shouted, “Just in time!”
The broadsword in his hand suddenly released a large amount of black fog. The fog was like disgusting tentacles, coiling toward Linus.
The spear in Linus’s hand instantly burst into flames. The flames were burning fiercely and covered Linus’s body, helping him to block the attack of the tentacles.
However, Linus’s strength was far inferior to Roderick’s. The flame barrier only lasted for a moment before it completely shattered under the pressure of the tentacles.
Roderick shouted, “Sky Demon Slash!”
The huge broadsword in his hand lit up and flew directly toward Linus.
Linus soon realized how weak he was compared to Roderick, but he did not give up. Instead, he raised the flame spear in his hand high in front of him. At the same time, his entire body began to burn with almost solid flames. A set of flaming armor condensed on the surface of his body as his last defense.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound echoed throughout the space tunnel. The flaming spear in Linus’s hands was split into two in an instant. The flaming armor that covered his body had also shattered. Roderick’s attack had left a deep wound on Linus’s chest. It was so deep that his bones could be seen. His attack almost split Linus into two on the spot.
Linus fell back unwillingly. He did not expect to be defeated by his enemy so early. He did not even have the ability to resist.
However, the unwillingness in his heart made Linus continue to hold on. He quickly scanned his surroundings, blindly looking for conditions that could help him resist the demon. However, there was nothing in his vision other than the flames that were about to extinguish in the air.
“Am I going to die just like this? I have just witnessed the true face of the Demon Race but I am unable to warn the entire Elf Race in time. If I were to die just like this, I would really be letting down the ancestors of the Elf Race, as well as my father…”
Linus sighed in his heart with incomparable sorrow. However, he forgot that there was still someone standing behind him. He was outside of his field of vision.
“Boom!”
All of a sudden, the flame that was about to extinguish started to burn vigorously. Even if there was nothing combustible in the air, and there was no condition for the flame to continue burning, the flame still continued to burn brighter and brighter. The terrifying heat forced Roderick to retreat continuously.
When Linus fell heavily to the ground, he suddenly heard Vincent’s voice above him.
Vincent said indifferently, “Isn’t it just killing a demon? Is there a need to fight so desperately? For the sake of your father, I will kill this demon for you!”
Vincent’s entire body and the blade in his hand turned into flames in an instant. Twelve Flaming Wings slowly spread out from behind him.
Linus could not help but widen his eyes. He looked at Vincent who had completely turned into a fire spirit. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Perhaps, this was the true form of a fire god!
Roderick, who was forced back by the flames, waved his huge sword, and slashed at the flames in front of him. He saw Vincent’s new appearance and immediately exclaimed in shock, “The law of fire! You have mastered the law of fire! No wonder you were able to kill the apostles one after another. They only have ordinary abilities and are unable to resist the god’s power that you possess. Unfortunately, you have met me today, a pure demon! A powerhouse who also has god’s power!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint black light emitted from Roderick’s body. The light was not blinding, but it could dim the light in the entire space tunnel.
Vincent, who was illuminated by the black light, suddenly felt a wave of negative emotions in the depths of his heart. It made him irritable and bloodthirsty. He wanted to kill all creatures in sight and devour their flesh and souls!
“Ah!”
Linus, who was lying on the ground, suddenly let out a miserable cry. Dense black threads suddenly grew out from the wound on his chest. The threads intertwined together and began to multiply rapidly like moss. It looked as if it was about to cover Linus’s entire body.
At the critical moment, Justin’s voice rang out in Vincent’s mind.
“Be careful, this is the law of filth! He can use the aura of the Demon World to affect the body and mind of all living beings around him. Those around will be directly polluted by the Demon Race, and some might even rot and collapse to nourish the negative emotions!”
After hearing Justin’s reminder, Vincent immediately regained control of his mind. As he had strong willpower, he quickly suppressed the surging negative emotions in his heart.
As an iron-blooded warrior who had survived the battlefield, Vincent’s willpower was like a heavy steel plate. No matter how his negative emotions churned, he would not be affected in the slightest.
Vincent snapped his fingers with his left hand, and a spark flew onto Linus’s body. The moment the spark touched the black threads, it suddenly turned into raging flames, burning the black threads on Linus’s body.
All the flames on Linus’s body gathered in the wound on his chest. It swept away the demonic aura hidden in his flesh and blood.
Linus was finally freed from the intense pain. He used the last bit of his consciousness to look at Vincent’s back and sighed slowly, “Thank you!”
Vincent moved swiftly and suddenly pounced toward Roderick.
“Wait, we might have other solutions. Listen to me…”
Roderick suddenly lost the courage to draw his sword in the face of the incomparably fierce Vincent. He panicked and wanted to stall for time.
However, what he got in response was a long blade surrounded by flames. The blade sliced his body into three pieces!
