Chapter 622 - Came to Life in the Face of Death
Chapter 622: Came to Life in the Face of Death
“What’s going on? Come back! Come back!” shouted Abraham anxiously.
He tried to regain control of the ghosts in the sky. However, to his surprise, he no longer had a connection with the ghosts. Yet, he could still feel them circling in the sky. It was as if they were waiting for an order to attack.
However, the individual who could give them orders was no longer Abraham.
“I can understand if you need to behave like a ghost. However, you shouldn’t show off this ability in front of me because I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!” shouted Vincent.
Although Abraham could not see Vincent’s expression at that moment, he could hear the arrogance and pride in his tone.
This meant that Vincent had the advantage at that moment, and he knew that it was a huge advantage.
Although Abraham could not see, he could still guess that the ghosts that had escaped from his control must have fallen into Vincent’s hands!
Abraham started panicking. However, he knew that he could not show any signs of panic in front of Vincent. Although his opponent was only a level 50 creature, he was like a poisonous snake in the jungle. As long as he was given a chance, he would immediately pounce and release his fatal poison.
Even if the poison was not fatal, it would cause one endless pain!
Abraham carefully adjusted his posture to prevent himself from being ambushed.
After seeing Abraham becoming more and more cautious, Alexia quickly turned her gaze to Vincent. Although she had seen Vincent fight against Gajero with her own eyes, Vincent was previously running for his life. He had never faced Gajero head-on before.
However, this time, Vincent managed to steal Abraham’s most powerful weapon for himself in an instant. This made Alexia find it hard to accept the reality before her eyes.
When had Vincent become so powerful? So powerful that even Alexia felt a little unfamiliar with him.
“You…”
Alexia opened her mouth in a daze. She wanted to ask Vincent how he did it, but she could not bring herself to say it.
Vincent suddenly said in a low voice with a serious expression, “Don’t speak! My current situation is very bad. Let’s leave quickly before Abraham reacts!”
Alexia was startled when she heard that. She soon noticed a layer of cold sweat on Vincent’s forehead. The hundreds of ghostly figures circling him had escaped Abraham’s control, however, their movements had become much slower. This meant that Vincent was unable to control the hundred ghostly figures in the sky.
“Alright, I’ll cover you!” said Alexia.
She then took a step forward and stood in front of Vincent. She assumed that Vincent had dealt with all the attacks from Abraham. She wanted to fight for an opportunity for Vincent to leave.
Vincent was in a difficult situation. This was because he needed to use a lot of psionic power to ensure the constant movements of the souls. As he had suddenly harvested the souls of hundreds of powerhouses, all the psionic power in Vincent’s body had been drained in an instant.
If it was not for the extra space in his stomach that constantly replenished his energy, Vincent would have become a cripple.
Vincent took advantage of the opportunity when Alexia shielded him and immediately opened a space door, but he did not retreat into it. Instead, he raised his hand and placed it on Alexia’s shoulder. He whispered into her ear, “It’s not that easy to slip away from Abraham. So, you go first. I’ll stay behind and cover the rear!”
Vincent then pushed Alexia into the space door.
Before Alexia could react, she had already fallen into the space tunnel.
Vincent, who was not far away from her, seemed to be standing a thousand miles away.
Alexia had entered the safe zone and could close the space door at any time to escape.
Vincent, on the other hand, was facing all the dangers alone.
“Vincent!”
Alexia shouted anxiously, wanting to remind Vincent to seize the time to escape and at the same time, to advise him not to do anything stupid.
However, Vincent had made up his mind. He would not change his mind for Alexia!
At the same time, Abraham also sensed the space fluctuations around him. He immediately realized that Vincent was preparing to use spatial means to escape. He immediately realized that something was wrong. He sneered and said, “It seems that even if you took away the ghosts from me, you are not able to control it. Isn’t it a little too late for you to escape?”
Vincent looked at Abraham with a determined gaze and said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, I have no intention of escaping at all because I haven’t fulfilled the promise I made before!”
Before he finished speaking, Vincent had raised his sword and pointed it at Abraham. Although the hundreds of ghosts circling him moved slowly, they obediently listened to Vincent’s orders and rushed towards Abraham together.
Abraham could not see the ghosts at this time. However, he was not afraid of them because he had figured out that Vincent could not control them at all. Vincent could not keep up with them.
It seemed that Vincent must be using them to stall for time. Abraham believed that he wanted to create an opportunity to use his space door to escape.
Abraham proceeded to rush in the direction of the space door. This was because Abraham knew that as long as he entered the space door, it would be equivalent to cutting off Vincent’s escape route. At that time, no matter what kind of strange abilities Vincent had, he would not be a match for him. He could only choose to surrender.
The purpose of Abraham’s trip was to find the whereabouts of the Immortal ruins that only Vincent knew about. Therefore, he would never give Vincent any chance to escape.
However, all of Abraham’s actions were within Vincent’s expectations. Furthermore, he had prepared an inescapable net for him.
Abraham, who had lost his vision, thought that he had found Vincent’s weakness. However, just as he was charging toward the space door with all his strength, he suddenly bumped into a body that was like steel armor.
The dizzy Abraham instantly realized that he had bumped into a soul with a defensive attribute.
However, he did not think too much into it. This was because he knew that Vincent had ordered the ghostly souls to attack him, so it was reasonable for him to bump into one of the souls.
Abraham casually pushed the soul away and continued to rush toward the space door.
However, Abraham soon bumped into a second, third, and fourth ghostly soul.
He only stopped after realizing that he was surrounded by hundreds of ghostly souls.
Abraham was very confused. He thought that Vincent was only a level 50 creature and could not control the souls. That was why Abraham had chosen to charge into the space door. He thought that no one could stop him.
However, the current situation was not within his expectations at all. Abraham soon realized that Vincent might be able to perfectly control the ghostly souls. Otherwise, why would he be surrounded?
“What, are you surprised? Do you think that I can’t control the ghosts to surround you? It’s a pity that you’re too stupid, stupid enough to fall into the trap that I had set for you!”
Vincent was wandering behind the hundreds of ghosts. He could not help but sneer at Abraham.
Just as Abraham had expected, Vincent could not control the ghosts to move quickly but he could gather them to form a circle in advance. He was waiting for Abraham to fall into his trap.
Vincent wanted to lure him into the space door!
He had set up a route to the space door for Abraham. This was only a basic strategy for Vincent, but it had yielded very good results.
Abraham soon realized that his actions and thoughts were all seen through by Vincent. At the same time, the negative effects of losing his vision began to appear. Abraham started to feel fearful. Vincent’s successful act of predicting the enemy’s attack had put great pressure on Abraham. He no longer dared to act rashly. He did not want to fall into Vincent’s trap again.
His actions were once again in line with Vincent’s expectations.
“What, you’re finally afraid and don’t dare to take the initiative to attack? Then it’s time for me to attack!”
Vincent looked at Abraham who was surrounded but he did not move at all. He could not help but mock him. He then raised his weapon and slashed at him.
He activated the first four forms of the eight forms of Heaven’s Will. Countless blade lights that were ignited with flames instantly drowned Abraham.
However, Vincent did not stop attacking. Instead, he fell into madness. He had relied on his wisdom to successfully gain an advantage. It was time for him to fulfill his promise and take revenge for Justin!
“Ignorant b*stard, do you think you can defeat this king just like that? I will let you know how foolish your thoughts are!”
Abraham’s angry roar suddenly came from within the flames. Following that, an even taller figure suddenly rose from the flames. It was Abraham who had transformed himself into a skeleton giant that was more than ten meters tall.
After becoming even taller, Abraham stretched out his palm and pressed down on his body. He extinguished the raging flames under his feet.
Abraham then raised his head again and looked in Vincent’s direction with his empty sockets.
“You destroyed my eyes and stole my weapon. This enmity is irreconcilable. I will make you vanish into thin air!” said Abraham.
He then let out a terrifying roar. He sounded like he was announcing Vincent’s death. A faint blue light soon lit up on Abraham’s body. The surrounding space began to slowly float. It was as if the entire reality was being distorted by a powerful force.
Vincent realized that Abraham’s strength was constantly rising. It was very likely for him to use his full strength next.
Thus, Vincent did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. He immediately gathered all the ghosts to stand between himself and Abraham.
The weakest souls were level 70 creatures, and the strongest souls were about level 80. They would be of great help to Vincent in the future. However, at that moment, they were only a burden.
Rather than sacrificing his life for these souls, it would be better to let them display their final value!
It would not be a bad thing for Vincent if Abraham destroyed all of the souls in Vincent’s hands at that moment.
“Go and die. Under my ghostly order, no one can survive!” yelled Abraham.
Abraham had finally finished accumulating his power. He roared and waved his hands. The blue light surrounding his body instantly left his hands and condensed into a light blue transparent bone sword. He then stabbed it directly at Vincent.
All the souls that stood in front of Vincent instantly transformed into light blue fireflies as soon as they came into contact with the blue light on the ancient sword. They slowly disappeared from the world.
Vincent soon realized that Abraham had mastered the power of order, just like Gajero.
The power of order could often cause irreparable damage. For Vincent, it was an attack that he could not withstand!
The injuries that Gajero had caused him were still there. If he suffered another injury caused by the power of order, he might not be able to survive even if he activated his fire spiritualization state.
Vincent decided to give it his all and face death. He held his blade with both hands and was prepared to use all his strength to resist Abraham’s power of order.
However, at that moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Vincent.
“Shield of Life!”
A red light appeared in front of Vincent and immediately turned into a scarlet city wall, blocking the bone sword that could destroy everything.
However, the bone sword’s momentum did not stop there. The pale blue light was still corroding the blood-red city wall, but its speed and efficiency had been greatly reduced. It was only a matter of time before it pierced through the city wall and hit Vincent.
Vincent did not have to save himself because a figure had suddenly arrived in front of him in a flash. It was Justin!
“You’re still alive!”
Vincent put down the blade in his hand and shouted excitedly.
When Justin heard Vincent’s question, he could not help but show a surprised expression. However, he soon sensed the danger behind him and quickly said, “Now is not the time to talk. Hurry up and escape from here!”
Justin then pushed Vincent into the space door.
The bone sword pierced through the blood-red city wall almost at the same time. It stabbed straight at Justin. The blue light was about to touch his body.
Vincent, who was inside the space tunnel, was still staring at the battlefield outside. When he saw that Justin was about to die under Abraham’s attack, he immediately shouted with all his strength, “Souls, retreat!”
The surviving ghostly souls on the rock mountain and Justin, who was exposed, disappeared without a trace.
After Vincent withdrew all his souls, he immediately closed the space door and left the dangerous rocky mountain peak.
When Alexia saw Vincent enter the space tunnel, she immediately went forward to support him and asked softly, “How is it? Are you injured?”
Vincent’s entire attention was on the space door that was slowly closing. This was because he had to ensure that Abraham did not slip into the space door.
Finally, the space door was completely closed. The last sound that entered the space tunnel was Abraham’s indignant roar.
Vincent finally let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed into Alexia’s arms.
Vincent smiled and said to Alexia, “We are finally safe!”
Alexia nodded. Her eyes were also filled with joy, but she did not know how to share her feelings with Vincent.
Suddenly, a huge skeleton figure descended from the sky and appeared in front of Vincent and Alexia. It waved its huge white bone fist and ruthlessly smashed toward them.
“Bang!”
There was an unprecedented tremor in the space tunnel. The invisible space barrier in front of Vincent and Alexia was covered with spiderweb-like cracks. It was as if it had suffered a violent impact. It was like an ice surface that was about to shatter.
Abraham, who was on top of the rock mountain, looked up at the sky and roared furiously. His punch earlier was not enough to vent all the anger in his heart, but he had to face the reality that Vincent had escaped.
“Vincent, I will tear you into pieces!” shouted Abraham.
He then took a deep breath, and his body began to return to its normal size.
At the same time, the green flames burning on the mountainside began to gradually shrink back to the mountaintop. They gathered in Abraham’s eye sockets again, forming two clusters of green flames.
The ghosts that were gathered below the mountainside noticed that the flames blocking the road had finally disappeared. They immediately rushed toward the mountaintop. They looked at Abraham, who was filled with anger. Countless cracks had appeared in the space around him. Each of them was like cicadas in winter. They did not dare to make a sound as they were afraid that their king would vent his anger on them.
Abraham’s voice was extremely shrill as he said, “Everyone, spread out and monitor this sea area day and night. Report to me immediately if there are any movements! Since the final information that Charlotte provided to us is this place, then Vincent won’t be able to escape far. He’ll appear again sooner or later!”
“Yes!”
All the ghosts collectively knelt down on one knee and replied to Abraham in unison. They then scattered down the mountain peak like a tide and ran toward every corner of the red sea.
When Vincent saw the scene in the space tunnel, he could not help but breathe lightly. He muttered, “I did not expect that other than Gajero, there is a second individual who could cause damage to the space barrier. Fortunately, they were unable to completely shatter the space barrier.. This can only be said to be a blessing in disguise!”
