Chapter 390 - Luring the Enemy Alone, Perfect Demonization
Chapter 390: Luring the Enemy Alone, Perfect Demonization
After Myron gained the demonized form, he became extremely irritable. He was like a wild beast roaring on the platform.
He did not obtain the powerful demonized form through his own strength. Instead, he had gained power from Gajero by force. He could not wait to release the power at that moment. If he did not release it, it was likely that he would explode from power!
“Andre, give me your life!”
Myron roared loudly and swung his fist toward the stone wall in front of him. He could no longer wait to activate the mechanism. He wanted to smash through the wall in front of him and kill Andre.
At the same time, Dave pointed to Vincent’s side and shouted in panic, “Vincent, look!”
Vincent turned to look at the space barrier beside him and saw that the originally thin space barrier had been corroded by the spider web, forming a small hole. Large amounts of grayish-white mucus gushed out from the hole causing the remaining barrier to corrode even more.
Vincent could hear the mournful roars of the Zerg.
Vincent focused his gaze. He grabbed onto Dave with his right hand and was prepared to use modification authority with his left hand. He planned to immediately return to the elevator the moment Myron left.
However, Vincent was unable to deduce whose speed was faster.
Will the Zerg break through the space barrier first or will Myron break through the walls first?
As for whether Vincent would live or die after this, it was truly a gamble.
“Boom!”
Under Myron’s crazy attacks, the thick stone wall in front of him instantly shattered into pieces, creating a hole that only allowed one to enter.
At that moment, Myron, who was engulfed by hatred, rushed out without thinking.
At the same time, the Zerg’s two sharp claws broke through the hole that had corroded. It was struggling to tear the barrier apart from both sides. It was about to slash at Vincent’s body.
At the critical moment, Vincent gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, “Go!”
His left hand slashed forward and instantly pushed open the space door. He pulled Dave and they rushed out of the space tunnel together.
The moment Vincent and Dave stepped onto the lift platform, the Zerg had already successfully torn apart the space barrier behind them. The upper half of its body had entered the space behind Vincent. It opened its mouth that contained six sharp teeth and let out a wild roar toward Vincent.
“Now is not the time for you to come out. Goodbye!”
Vincent waved his hand toward the Zerg in the tunnel. Following that, the space door slowly closed, completely isolating them from the Zerg.
Only when the Zerg was no longer in front of him did Vincent let out a long sigh of relief.
Dave, who was beside him, was leaning against the wall of the platform. His legs were weak. He muttered with a blank look in his eyes, “I survived, I survived!”
“Boom!”
At that moment, a violent explosion came from the corridor in the distance, followed by two beast-like sounds.
“Andre, you will definitely die today!”
“Even if you have the demonized form, you are not worthy to be my opponent!”
Following that, a series of intense and violent sounds of fighting could be heard, accompanied by the violent tremor on the ninth floor.
Vincent raised his head to look. He could vaguely see two black figures fighting each other through the hole that Myron had dug.
“Now that the walls of the secret passage have been destroyed, this is no longer a secret place. We must leave quickly!” said Vincent.
Dave nodded and said, “Then let’s go to the fifth floor! I’m more familiar with the mechanisms there!”
Vincent immediately pressed the button for the fifth floor, and the lift slowly went up.
When the two of them reached the fifth floor and entered Catherine’s room again, Dave finally calmed down from the shock and fear. He asked in a deep voice, “There are only four of us in Hell’s Rose. When the two of them finish fighting, they will definitely find traces of us. At that time, it will be difficult for us to escape!”
Vincent raised his head and looked toward the direction of the ground, he said in a deep voice, “Right now, the two of us are stuck. We are unable to escape. The outside is already surrounded by soldiers. I believe that anyone other than Andre who walks out from the main door will be surrounded and killed by all the soldiers!”
Dave instantly frowned and said, “There is also a Zerg in the space tunnel. If we use the space tunnel again, it will definitely be fraught with danger. Is there any other way to leave Hell’s Rose?”
Vincent nodded and said, “Yes! We can directly release the Zerg and then use the space tunnel to leave. But Hell’s Rose will be completely destroyed!”
Dave narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, “If we release the Zerg now, I believe my father and Myron will die without a burial place. But I believe that now is not the best time, right?”
Vincent turned to look at Dave and said with a smile, “That’s right! Now is not the best time to release the Zerg, so we can only gamble!”
Dave could not help but frown slightly and asked, “How do we gamble?”
Vincent raised his left hand and took off the ring on his middle finger and handed it over to Dave. He said, “This is one of the two remaining modification authority scrolls I have. You can use it to learn how to modify authority. After you have the modification authority, you can open the space tunnel on your own!”
Dave looked at the ring in front of him and did not immediately accept it. Instead, he asked, “But there is a Zerg in the tunnel! Even if I learn it, how can I leave?”
Vincent nodded and revealed a somewhat crazy smile. He said, “After you have the authority to modify it, the two of us will return to the space tunnel together. I will lure the Zerg away, and you will take the opportunity to return to the surface!”
Dave shook his head repeatedly and said seriously, “No! That is absolutely impossible! It is too dangerous for you to lead the Zerg away alone. I will not let you take the risk alone!”
Vincent raised his hand and pressed on Dave’s shoulder. He said in a serious expression, “There is no better way at the moment, so you must remember to not hesitate when you go up! Immediately return to the riverside mansion. Only after you leave safely will I have the means to leave this place without revealing my identity!”
Dave suddenly thought of Vincent’s magical means where he could transform into any race. If he continued to stay, he would only drag Vincent down, so he raised his hand to take the ring from Vincent’s hand and asked softly, “How do I learn?”
Vincent explained the process of how to cultivate and modify authority to Dave. Dave retreated to the side and sat on Catherine’s bed. He proceeded to activate the modification authority scroll and restored the process of creating modification authority. He smoothly extracted the crystal energy that symbolized the modification authority.
After a while, Dave stood up and looked at Vincent with excitement. He said, “I succeeded! Now that I have the modification authority, why don’t the two of us try our luck and open the space door to escape from here together?”
Vincent shook his head and said, “That’s not safe enough. There are too many variables! So, we should still proceed according to the plan just now!”
Dave looked at Vincent nervously and did not try to dissuade him again. This was because he knew that he would not be able to dissuade Vincent no matter how hard he tried.
The man in front of him was both a teacher and a friend but he was also a madman who was driven by adventure and madness. There were no bold ideas that he could not think of, and there were no risks that he did not dare to take!
Vincent moved his fingers and turned to say to Dave, “I don’t know how long I can delay the Zerg, so you must seize the opportunity and leave Hell’s Rose in the shortest time possible!”
Dave took a deep breath and nodded solemnly to Vincent.
Vincent focused his mind and shouted in a deep voice, “Modify and open the door!”
The moment he finished shouting, a space door opened in front of him. Just as Vincent had imagined, the space tunnel he opened was the parallel world he had just escaped from and the Zerg was hanging close by. It was roaring at Vincent furiously.
When the Zerg sensed Vincent’s aura again, it could not help but stop what it was doing and turned its head to look at Vincent.
When their gazes met, Vincent instantly rushed into the space tunnel. He raised a middle finger at the Zerg while using modification authority to open a roundabout path in the space tunnel. He bypassed the Zerg and ran in an unknown direction.
“Roar!”
The Zerg let out an angry roar and quickly chased in the direction where Vincent had escaped.
At the same time, after seeing that Vincent had made a move, Dave no longer hesitated. He flashed into the space tunnel that Vincent had opened and used his modification authority to create a platform under his feet. He slowly rose into the air until he left the ground. He soon arrived on the street.
When Dave saw a large number of soldiers gathered around the entrance of Hell’s Rose through the space tunnel, he did not dare to hesitate anymore and quickly ran toward the city gate.
Dave sighed softly as he ran, “Vincent, I’m safe now. You must come back safely as well!”
…
On the other end of the space tunnel, Vincent was constantly opening tunnels in front of him while modifying the tunnels behind him to have an extremely small opening, delaying the Zerg from catching up to him. Suddenly, an even bolder plan arose in his mind.
Although he had witnessed Andre stealing the Origin Divine Earth from the depths of the abyss, Vincent could confirm that the light emitted by the Origin Divine Earth was different from the extremely alluring light that he saw at the bottom of the abyss.
In other words, there was still a secret at the bottom of the abyss that made Vincent extremely curious!
Since he was already alone, he thought of taking the opportunity to directly explore the depths of the abyss!
After making up his mind, Vincent took out the tunnel token from his storage ring. He finally realized that all the space tunnels that were created using modification authority were all in the same world. Therefore, he needed to rely on the token to enter and find the direction to the main tunnel. After that, he can proceed to lead the Zerg back there!
“Weng!”
The tunnel token emitted a bright light. Vincent was surprised to find out that he no longer needed to use modification authority. The space in front of him would automatically open up because the token in his hand contained even more powerful space power!
At the same time, Vincent was also clear that the simple space tunnel that he had used modification authority to open up would disappear after he ended his modification authority. All the space that was opened up would close and eventually disappear. However, as the Zerg was still in the tunnel, the simple space that Vincent had created will continue to remain in operation.
The only tunnel that would not disappear was the one that the Lingluo Race had used all their strength to create. Thus, as long as the Zerg was lured back into the main tunnel, Vincent could take the opportunity to leave the parallel world. He would then reopen the tunnel door and continue to play hide-and-seek with the Zerg!
Vincent looked at the tunnel token in his hand that was shining brighter and brighter. He knew that he was getting closer and closer to the main tunnel, so he increased his speed and ran forward as fast as he could.
Vincent soon arrived at the periphery of the main tunnel.
The tunnel token had the power of space and could open tunnels temporarily at will, but it could not open the main tunnel that had been preserved for all of eternity!
“Modify and open the door!”
Vincent hurriedly raised his hand and waved forward. He used modification authority to open a gap. He then flashed into the main tunnel.
The main tunnel looked like an incomparably deep spider hole. Spider webs were hung everywhere, and endless mucus was constantly corroding the surrounding space barriers, looking extremely disgusting.
Vincent endured the discomfort and turned his head to look at the hole behind him. The Zerg was getting closer and closer. It was about to return to the right path!
Vincent hurriedly raised the tunnel token. He was prepared to leave at any time.
“Roar!”
Following the Zerg’s loud roar, it instantly rushed into the main tunnel. At the same time, the tunnel entrance behind the Zerg also completely disappeared because it was no longer in use.
At this time, only Vincent and the Zerg were left alone in the same space!
The Zerg waved its two sharp claws as if it was celebrating that it had caught Vincent. At the same time, the eight eyes on its head that were staring intently at Vincent suddenly shot out light pillars at Vincent’s vital parts.
Vincent instantly turned into a fire spirit. Flaming Wings grew out from his back. He quickly retreated and avoided all the light pillars. At the same time, he could not help but sigh in his heart. Since the birth of this Zerg, it had always been evolving its own offensive methods. It was still growing up until the present. If it reached its maturity stage, its strength would probably be more than a level 60 creature!
After seeing that its attack had failed, the Zerg immediately charged forward. It did not want Vincent to get too far away from it, because it knew that this opponent in front of it was abnormally cunning. The slightest carelessness would allow him to completely disappear from its sight.
Vincent looked at the Zerg that was rushing toward him and hurriedly waved the tunnel token to draw a line under his body.
The space door opened once again, and Vincent flashed back to Hell’s Rose.
The Zerg let out a series of furious roars. It wanted to use its fastest speed to rush to the space door that Vincent had opened. It wanted to kill Vincent. However, it was still a step too late. When it arrived, the space door just happened to close right in time.
The last scene that remained in the eyes of the Zerg was the mocking smile that Vincent showed him through the crack!
Its roars continued to echo throughout the space tunnel. After the Zerg vented its anger, it suddenly calmed down. This was because it possessed quite a high level of intelligence. After careful consideration, the Zerg realized that if it wanted to kill that annoying fellow, it had to evolve again. It had to work toward becoming the strongest form of the race. Otherwise, it would never be able to kill that cunning fellow!
Following that, the Zerg used its tail to shoot out a large number of spider webs. However, this time, it did not let the spider webs corrode the surrounding space barriers. Instead, it wrapped itself up tightly, until it finally formed an incomparably huge cocoon. It was lying quietly in the space tunnel.
The day it breaks out of the cocoon would be the day it has evolved into its strongest form. It would become the strongest Zerg ever to appear in the world.
At the entrance of the fifth floor of Hell’s Rose, Vincent was sizing up the dark abyss below.
As the lift platform was currently parked at the ninth floor, it blocked off the bright light at the bottom of the abyss. Vincent was also unable to see the battle between Andre and Myron.
“I hope that bug is tired and won’t try to find me again. I don’t want to continue chasing it!”
Vincent sighed softly. He then took a deep breath and jumped into the dark abyss.
In mid-air, Vincent once again activated modification authority and entered the space tunnel. This time, there was no trace of the Zerg so he was able to continue sneaking down with ease.
Vincent soon arrived at the ninth floor. The entrance of the ninth floor had already collapsed and the originally narrow and long corridor had expanded to look like a plaza.
Myron, who was covered in pitch-black muscles, and Andre, who was covered in black armor, were still fighting with their lives on the line. However, this time, the demonic aura on Andre’s body was already somewhat thin, and under Myron’s successive heavy punches, he was unable to hold on any longer.
Vincent noticed that a trace of pitch-black blood had seeped out of the corner of Andre’s mouth. It looked like he was heavily injured. However, what Vincent could not understand was why Andre had not activated his demonized form.
“Ah!”
At that moment, Andre’s expression suddenly became incomparably determined. A large amount of demonic aura once again surged out of his body, and the demonic aura was like flames. The flames burned his body to ashes. In the end, only a pitch-black heart remained.
“Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!”
As his heart continued to beat violently, large amounts of black demonic aura began to revolve around his heart. It soon formed a terrifying vortex. Numerous black tentacles extended out from the vortex and were continuously entangling with each other. Finally, they condensed into a tall body.
The body no longer had any characteristics of the Elf Race. Just like Miller, it had completely turned into the appearance of a demon!
At that moment, Vincent, who was watching from the side, could not help but gasped. This was because he knew that Andre’s demonized form was completely different from Miller’s. Miller only had the empty shell of a demon. However, Andre’s transformation from the inside out was exactly the same as how Gajero defended himself in the space-time tunnel previously!
This meant that Andre had turned into a full demon!
Andre stood up and roared angrily, his voice echoing throughout Hell’s Rose.
“Myron, you forced me to do this. Today, I’ll show you what a real demonized form is!”
