Chapter 423 - Captured Her Again and Told Her the Truth
Chapter 423: Captured Her Again and Told Her the Truth
Sophia kept struggling in the soil. Blood gradually appeared on her hands and feet, and her face turned dark purple due to the lack of air.
Sophia finally saw the horror of dying. No matter how fearless she was before, or how she would rather die than fight Vincent to the end, her strong will instantly shattered and her strong heart collapsed when she felt like she was losing her life.
At that moment, she wanted to cry out for help, but she could not open her mouth. She wanted to cry for her ending, but she could not even shed tears!
Just as Sophia was about to lose all her strength, a space door suddenly opened. A hand reached out from the space door and grabbed Sophia’s ankle. He used a huge force to drag her from the soil into the space tunnel.
As the space door closed again, clusters of flames slowly lit up. Sophia coughed violently and saw the calm Vincent in front of her. Tears finally burst out of her eyes, and she curled up in a corner, shivering.
Vincent looked at Sophia and said coldly, “What? You just ran for a while, and you can’t run anymore? It seems like the ability given to you by Gajero is very ordinary!”
Sophia could not help but cry even louder after hearing what Vincent said. She did not know what Vincent was going to do to her. At that moment, she could only continue to cry and pretend to be crazy to buy more time.
What Sophia wanted at that moment was nothing more than time to live!
Vincent looked at the beautiful Dark Elf in front of him, who was in a mess and was crying uncontrollably. He did not have a shred of sympathy for her at all. He pulled out his Return Journey of the Dead and placed its tip directly on Sophia’s chin. He said coldly, “If you only know how to cry, then you are useless to me. A useless Dark Elf. How do you think I will deal with you?”
Sophia immediately stopped crying. She sobbed and took a few deep breaths.
She then asked, “What do you want to know? I will tell you everything! As long as you let me go!”
Vincent thought for a moment and asked, “The ability you displayed is something Jessica and Andre do not have. I am very curious about your position in the eyes of the demons.”
Sophia could not help but laugh at herself. She shook her head and said, “Actually, it is nothing. I am only a level 35 creature. In fact, I do not have the strength to make the demons look up to me. What I have is all because of me continuously selling my body! Every time I seduce a man and spend a night in the temple, I will receive many gifts from Gajero. Among them are some very powerful spells and rare secret spells. I told Jessica and Darren some of the spells and used them to keep my position as the High Priest. As for some secret spells that can save my life at critical moments, I did not tell anyone. I just began to practice them in private secretly, thinking that they could be useful to me during critical moments!”
After saying that, Sophia could not help but sigh helplessly. This was because she was currently in a critical moment of her life. Unfortunately, the secret skill given by Gajero was unable to help her to escape from Vincent’s control. Instead, it made her fall into an even more embarrassing situation!
Vincent looked at Sophia who did not seem to be lying. He frowned slightly and sighed, “It seems that what you said before was right. Gajero was indeed encouraging you to do these things! This is because every time you bring men to the temple, Gajero will capture a lot of negative energy because those men will show greed and betrayal to their families. This is what Gajero wants the most! Therefore, you get better treatment than Jessica. Plus, you are also weak enough so Gajero will not worry about you being out of control, so you get more benefits!”
Sophia said indifferently, “Maybe it’s exactly what you said! But it doesn’t matter to me anymore. When you return to the surface, you’ll destroy the temple and rule the entire Serene Spring City. I’m no longer a High Priest. The best outcome is that I’ll be a prisoner!”
Vincent frowned and said, “Your fate depends on the new City Lord of Serene Spring City. But if you can tell me where Darren is now, I can plead with the City Lord for you. At least I can save your life!”
Sophia shook her head, smiled helplessly, and said, “Actually, when I found out that you tricked me into going underground just to control me, I wanted to compromise with you and tell you Darren’s whereabouts to save my life! But unfortunately, I don’t know where Darren went at all. I was just trying to intimidate you by acting very tough before!”
Vincent let out a cold snort. In fact, this outcome was already within his expectations. He was not surprised at all after hearing Sophia saying it out loud.
Vincent put away the Return Journey of the Dead and controlled the space tunnel to jump to the ground in an instant.
When light appeared before their eyes again, Vincent and Sophia saw that the streets of Serene Spring City had become orderly. The residents of the city had begun to clean up the corpses on the streets quietly. There were also residents fetching water to wash away the bloodstains on the ground. It was as if they wanted to wipe away the tragic experiences of Serene Spring City in the past few days.
After seeing the scene, Sophia’s eyes could not help but become even more dispirited. Vincent said with great satisfaction, “Dave did well. It seems that Serene Spring City has sealed off the city gates and disposed of the soldiers in the city!”
As he spoke, Vincent raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The space tunnel instantly collapsed, and Vincent and Sophia appeared on the streets out of thin air.
“Ah, foreigners!”
When the residents who were cleaning the street saw Vincent, they could not help but exclaim. The nearby residents all picked up their weapons and surrounded Vincent.
Vincent only glanced at the residents of Serene Spring City who had surrounded him. He did not resist, nor did he explain anything. He just stood quietly on the spot.
The citizens who were surrounding Vincent waited for a while, but they did not see any reaction from Vincent. They could not help but look at each other in surprise, not knowing what to do for a moment.
A slightly older Dark Elf sighed in the end, “Forget it. We should inform Lord Cameron about this matter. Since he has no intention of leaving anyway, everyone can go about their own matters first!”
Everyone agreed and nodded. They sent one of them to report to Lord Cameron’s mansion. The rest of them dispersed and continued to clean up the streets. Nevertheless, they subconsciously kept a distance from Vincent to ensure that he would not suddenly leave their encirclement.
Vincent did not care about this at all. He only looked down at Sophia who was sitting on the ground and used his gaze to warn her so she would not escape.
Sophia knew that she could not fight against Vincent. She could only lower her head quietly and wait for others to decide her fate.
Not long after, a group of elves rushed over. Melissa and Dave were running at the front. When they saw Vincent and Sophia, they could not help but shout happily, “Great, have you found Darren’s whereabouts?”
Vincent shook his head and said to Melissa, “Sophia doesn’t know Darren’s whereabouts at all, so we have to go out of the city to find Darren! As for her, I’ll leave her to you!”
Melissa could not help but turn her head and look at Sophia who was sitting on the ground with disgust. She frowned and said, “What’s there to deal with? Just kill her!”
Vincent reminded her softly, “She is a High Priest, and she has a close relationship with Jessica and Darren. She must be very familiar with their actions. Even if she doesn’t know the location of the Origin Divine Earth, she must know the location where Jessica and Darren hide their wealth. This is very important information to you. Are you sure you want to let her die just like that?”
Melissa could not help but say helplessly, “But her strength is not low, and her methods are strange. Even if we lock her up, I don’t think we can trap her!”
Dave took the initiative to step forward and said, “That’s easy. I can seal the demonic aura in her body and ensure that she doesn’t have any ability to escape!”
Vincent looked at Dave and could not help but say, “We haven’t seen each other for a while. How did you get so dirty?”
Dave quickly replied, “What do you mean dirty? I am now an authentic Black Elf! And I might even be the only Black Elf in Elf World!”
Vincent could not help but feel surprised when he heard that. However, he could guess that Dave had completely absorbed the energy from the Elf King’s remains.
Vincent could not help but feel a little curious. The Black Elf King had already lost his divine spark, yet Dave was still able to become a Black Elf. There must be a secret hidden within!
Melissa could not help but urge Dave, “Since you have a way, why are you still standing there? Quickly seal her cultivation and leave the city to find Darren!”
Dave looked at Melissa helplessly and sighed softly, “No matter what, I’m still the city Lord of Devil Flame City. Can you not command me like a soldier? I know what to do!”
Before Melissa could refute again, Dave had already reached out his hands to Sophia.
He sighed, “Eternal Dark Shackles!”
A cold and gloomy aura instantly gushed out from Dave’s hands and turned into a thin and long chain. It drilled directly into Sophia’s body.
A sound of a lock locking could be heard. Sophia instantly collapsed on the ground like a deflated rubber ball.
Dave clapped his hands and said to Melissa proudly, “It’s done. She’s just an ordinary elf now! Unless I help her personally, or a Dark Elf stronger than me saves her, she can’t use the demonic aura for the rest of her life!”
Melissa glared at Dave with disdain. She turned to Vincent and said, “Since I’m guarding Sophia now, I can’t leave the city with you. But you two aren’t familiar with the area either and you don’t know where Darren is. How can you find him?”
Vincent could not help but fall into silence. No matter how powerful he was, he could not search all the territories around Serene Spring City. That would undoubtedly cost a lot of time, and what they lacked the most at that moment was time!
“I can find Darren!”
At that moment, an old voice came from behind the crowd.
Cameron passed through everyone’s line of sight and walked in front of Vincent.
