Chapter 488: A Frog at the Bottom of a Well, Dreaming of Overturning the Heavens
“Master!”
After seeing Vincent, Dave cried out in surprise. At the same time, he felt extremely embarrassed and guilty.
Not only did he fail to complete the mission assigned by his master, but he also needed his master’s help to complete it. That made him feel embarrassed.
Vincent only shook his head while his back was facing Dave. He said, “I underestimated how dangerous the situation is in Devil Flame City. Leave this Dark Elf to me!”
Dave nodded and stood up immediately. He raised his knife and ran out of Devil Flame City. He knew that as long as Vincent came to the battlefield front, no matter how powerful Alger was, the outcome would be the same. Therefore, there was no need for him to stay and become a burden to Vincent.
After seeing Dave leave the area, Alger’s eyes were filled with anger. He then shifted his attention to Vincent.
Alger roared angrily, “B*stard! You must be the foreign race. How dare you interfere with my battle. Prepare to die!”
He then raised the giant sword in his hand and thrust it toward Vincent.
Vincent stood calmly on the spot. He raised his hand and placed it in front of his chest gently. A giant hand covered in flame was formed in the air. The hand then gripped onto Alger’s giant sword.
Alger, who had never been defeated, felt that he was lacking in strength for the first time. When faced with the giant flaming hand before him, he could not even take half a step forward!
When he wanted to retreat and prepare for another attack, he realized that he could not retrieve the sword in his hand no matter what. The power that came from the flaming hand was too strong for him to resist. He felt a little afraid!
Alger looked at Vincent, who was standing behind the flaming hand, in disbelief and asked in a panic, “How is this possible? What method did you use?”
Vincent smiled slightly and said softly, “This isn’t magic. It’s just pure strength! Although you are very talented and are able to break the inherent level restrictions of the Elf Race without the help of external forces, you are far from being invincible in this world. Today, I will let you know what it means to be the superior one!”
After hearing what Vincent said, Alger could not help but become even angrier. He gritted his teeth and said, “What I hate the most in my life is someone lecturing me. Don’t think that you can really defeat me just because you have an advantage in strength. I will definitely kill you today!”
After noticing how stubborn Alger was, Vincent could not help but shake his head helplessly. He then turned around and walked into the space tunnel. The flaming hand that was holding the huge sword began to drag Alger slowly toward the space tunnel.
Alger watched as Vincent slowly disappeared before his eyes. He felt an imminent danger so he quickly made a decision. He let go of the sword and turned around to retreat.
Vincent, who was in the space tunnel, seemed to have anticipated all of this. When Alger was about to turn around and retreat, he stretched out a hand and clenched it forcefully in front of him.
At the same time, a giant flaming hand appeared out of thin air once again and gripped Alger’s body tightly, making it impossible for him to escape. He could only struggle continuously as he was dragged into the space tunnel.
Alger shouted loudly at the remaining soldiers, “What are you still standing there for? Quickly come and save me!”
However, when the group of soldiers rushed forward, the space door had already closed. Alger and Vincent had disappeared without a trace.
After entering the space tunnel, Alger was shocked by the surrounding scene. This was because he could still see the space outside, but his troops outside could no longer see him. Such a magical domain was completely beyond Alger’s understanding.
Vincent stood behind Alger and sighed softly, “Alright, you are my last guest tonight. It was only a small incident just now. Now, we have to rush to our appointment!”
Vincent snapped his fingers, and the platform under his feet began to move in an instant. The surrounding environment also became an illusory straight line because of the high speed.
Only when the surrounding environment became normal again did Alger realize that he had been brought to an unfamiliar world. Outside the transparent space barrier was no longer the wilderness outside of Devil Flame City. Instead, it was an underground river that had dried up.
At the same time, some familiar faces appeared before Alger’s eyes. In a corner at the side, there were Robin, Mcgee, and Benjamin. Although Alger did not recognize them, he could tell that they were all Dark Elves and were elves that shared the same faith as him.
Not far away, there were three Dark Elves who were busy looking around the transparent barrier. Judging by their anxious and flustered expressions, it seemed like they had a big disagreement.
“Don’t fight, don’t fight! We’ll definitely find a loophole. Let’s try the method that I came up with first!”
“Your method won’t work at all. Listen to me, and let us just pray directly to Lord Gajero!”
“It’s useless, I’ve already tried it just now. I think if we want to break this invisible barrier, we must use an array!”
Gilbo and the other two were arguing with each other. They were arguing so loudly that it seemed like if no one stopped them, they might start a fight.
Alger was not the only one who saw the scene. Vincent, who had just returned, also saw what the three of them were doing. His expression was very gloomy and he coughed lightly.
When Gilbo and the other two heard the familiar voice, they turned their heads immediately. When they saw Vincent standing behind them with a young man imprisoned in a flaming palm, they could not help but shiver. In a panic, they wanted to defend themselves but they could not come up with any good explanations. They could only stammer and explain to Vincent with some awkwardness.
Gilbo said with an embarrassed smile, “We were just curious about your methods and wanted to look around!”
Vincent looked at Gilbo and the others without showing any expression. It was obvious that he did not believe what he had just said.
Alger, who was imprisoned by the flaming palm behind Vincent, could not help but sneer in disdain when he saw the three of them panicking.
Alger said to Gilbo and the other two with a disgusted expression, “As Dark Elves, I can see that your strength is not low. You have embarrassed the Elf Race. How could you bow and scrape to a foreign race? I wonder what is the point of living like this? Why don’t you just kill yourselves?”
Gilbo and the others were furious when they heard that. However, when they turned their gazes at Alger, they were instantly stunned.
The old City Lord of Devil Sea City, Hayward, had always been an unknown existence among the city lords. Therefore, the matters of Devil Sea City were rarely known by outsiders.
Even Alger, who was astonishingly talented, had just become a little famous in recent years. Gilbo and the others had only heard of him but had never seen him in real life.
After seeing that Vincent had returned with a youth, Gilbo and the others immediately guessed his identity. The panic in their eyes immediately turned into hope.
Gilbo suddenly ignored Vincent and asked Alger with a smile, “You are Alger, right? The most talented young elf in the Elf Race!”
Alger nodded proudly and admitted his identity, “That’s right, it’s me!”
Gilbo said with a smile, “That’s good, that’s good! Now that you’re here, our hope is here!”
At the same time, a magic staff appeared in his hand.
At the same time, as if they had discussed it, Monde and Charlie also took out their bows and arrows. They each took out their bows and launched an attack at Vincent.
Two arrows immediately flew out of the bowstring and directly shot toward Vincent’s eyes.
Vincent did not show any signs of panic in the face of the sudden attack. Instead, he raised his hand and slapped away the two arrows that were flying toward him calmly.
At the same time, the tip of Gilbo’s magic staff emitted a faint black light. However, the light did not shine on Vincent. Instead, it shot toward the flaming palm that was holding onto Alger.
The light seeped through a crack in the flaming palm in an instant. Alger then used all of his strength to break free from the flaming palm. He flashed beside Gilbo and the others without any hesitation.
Alger asked with a curious expression, “Why did you save me?”
Gilbo looked at Vincent with a wary expression and said with a cold smile, “Actually, before you came, the three of us had already discussed a strategy. If we were unable to figure out the weakness of this transparent barrier, we will then think of a way to save you. With the four of us working together, we will definitely be able to defeat him!”
Alger was a hot-blooded youth. After hearing Gilbo’s words, he said with confidence, “It’s just as I thought! This guy took advantage of me and dragged me over here when I was unprepared. Now, as long as the three of you are willing to help me, I’ll definitely be able to kill him!”
Monde and Charlie quickly replied, “Alright!”
They then went to Alger’s side with bows and arrows in their hands, protecting him like guards.
Alger flipped his hand and clenched his fist in front of him. He then took out a long spear from his storage ring and charged toward Vincent.
Vincent looked at the four Dark Elves who were still like frogs at the bottom of a well. He could not help but sigh helplessly. It seemed that those Dark Elves would not tell the truth unless he made them suffer.
Vincent shouted in a deep voice, “In that case, let me give you a clear lesson!”
His entire body then entered the fire spiritualization state. The twelve flaming wings on his back instantly spread open. At the same time, a flame giant that was tens of meters tall appeared behind him. He looked down at the four Dark Elves as if he was a god.
Vincent shouted loudly, “World Cleansing Fire!”
The flame giant that was standing behind him opened its mouth and spat out intense flames, instantly drowning Alger and the others in it.
In the midst of the flame, Gilbo and the others cast an array to help Alger to block the flame that fell from the sky. Although it barely held on, it cleared the obstacles for Alger to attack.
After seeing that, Vincent slowly pulled out the Return Journey of the Dead from his waist and said with a sneer, “I believe you have already fought with my disciple just now. Now let’s see if you can catch my knife!”
