Chapter 375 - Demonized Form, Blade Slaying Demons
Just as Vincent finished speaking, the ring on his hand suddenly released a thick black gas. The gas instantly condensed into a dark cloud in the sky.
Miller was shocked when he saw it because he was too familiar with the dark cloud in front of him!
Miller exclaimed in horror, “This… Isn’t this the special equipment of that mysterious Dark Elf? How could it be in your hand?”
Vincent spread his hands and his body elevated into the air. He sneered, “Kid! Have you forgotten who spared your life back then?”
After hearing the familiar tone, Miller instantly reacted. He pointed at Vincent who was floating in the air and shouted, “The mysterious Dark Elf who rushed out of the canyon back then was you! The remains of the Elf King were taken away by…”
Miller, who was still in shock, wanted to say that the Elf King’s remains had been hidden by Vincent but something else crossed his mind. He pointed at Dave, who was in front of him, and said, “It’s you! The Elf King’s remains are in your hands. That explains how your strength increased significantly in a short period of time!”
Dave kept quiet. He looked at Miller who was laughing coldly. The corner of his mouth was stained with blood which made him appear smug and cold.
Miller was enlightened after seeing his reaction.
No wonder Dave trusted Vincent so much. He even regarded him as someone more important than his father. It was because Vincent had helped him to retrieve the Elf King’s remains which allowed him to improve his strength in a short period of time!
At the same time, Miller thought of an even more terrifying problem. He raised his head and looked at Vincent who was still in midair. He let out a sigh of despair, “The mysterious Dark Elf who took the Elf King’s remains was killed by you!”
Back then, the mysterious Dark Elf had fought fiercely with the City Lord in the sky above the alley. At that time, Vincent was rushing over with Miller to rescue Dave, who was heavily injured. That said, the mysterious Dark Elf could not have been Vincent in disguise. The only explanation was that he was killed by Vincent in the canyon!
However, that was an expert who could fight against the City Lord. If Vincent could kill the mysterious Dark Elf, then it was absolutely impossible that he was just a level 25 creature.
Vincent was still floating in midair. He said in a deep voice, “You’ve seen the power of this dark cloud the last time so you tried to escape. I’ll give you a chance to fight with me. If you win against me with a knife in my hand, I’ll let you leave this place alive. How does that sound?”
Although Miller was afraid at that moment, he had no other choice. He knew that even if he knelt down and begged for mercy, the two of them in front of him would still not let him go.
At that point in time, he could only choose to fight to the death!
Miller held the spear tightly in his hand and asked nervously, “Are you serious?”
Vincent raised his Return Journey of the Dead and responded with a cold smile on his face, “Why do I need to lie to trash like you?”
After hearing that, Miller collected his emotions and raised his spear. He pointed at Vincent and said, “Okay, then let’s fight to the death!”
Miller was driven by a strong desire to survive. He did not want to miss the opportunity to make the first move. The spear in his hand was instantly covered by a layer of black fog. It transformed into a giant spear that could pierce heaven and earth. He then made an attempt to stab Vincent.
Vincent was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he told Dave, “Your Highness, please take a good look! I will show you the actual combat power of the eight forms of Heaven’s Will!”
Dave immediately raised his head to look at the sky. Although Vincent was floating in midair, he seemed to have become one with heaven and earth. Every move of his was accompanied by an intense heaven and earth phenomenon.
“Heaven and earth collapse!” shouted Vincent.
The Return Journey of the Dead in his hand swept out in an instant.
In an instant, the heavens and earth gathered into endless sharp blade energy and shattered the giant spear into countless pieces.
The pitch-black shards of the giant spear instantly dissolved in the black aura and dissipated into the air.
Miller roared after seeing that his attack neutralized in an instant. The remaining black demonic aura that lingered between heaven and earth quickly surged into his body. Immediately after that, his body began to expand under the infusion of countless black auras. It was as if a powerful force was about to break through his original body.
“Ah!”
With a heart-wrenching scream, Miller’s skin was instantly torn apart. However, there was no blood flowing out of the wound. Instead, it was replaced by a layer of black-colored skin that was solid and thick.
At the same time, Miller’s height increased by more than a meter, and his palms and feet became much thicker. His mouth was torn apart as his body expanded. His mouth stretched all the way to his ears, revealing a mouth full of jagged fangs. The corners of his eyes cracked toward his temple. His black eyes turned grey, and two demon horns grew out from his head.
Miller had transformed from a Dark Elf into a real demon!
Dave resisted the urge to vomit when Miller completed his transformation. He felt a chill across his body.
It turned out that the ultimate effect of believing in Gajero was to become a real demon!
In other words, in the near future, the entire Elf Race would be completely exterminated. Instead, they would turn into subspecies of the Demon Race and become Gajero’s true slave!
Vincent noticed Miller’s strange transformation. He did not dare to be careless and quickly descended from the sky and stood in front of Dave. He looked at the monster-like Miller in front of him, sneered, and said, “This is your belief? It’s really incomparably ugly!”
Miller had the voice of a monster. He opened his mouth wide, raised his head, and laughed. “What do you know? Before Gajero descended into Elf World, other than the seven great Elf Kings, no elf was able to break through to level 40! God Gajero gave us a powerful opportunity. Moreover, every elf who is above level 40 can receive a gift from God Gajero through prayer. They are able to obtain different demonization effects. This is a power that you ants can never imagine! Today, I will tear the two of you apart on behalf of the Great God Gajero!”
After hearing this, Vincent could not help but squint his eyes.
Dark Elves above level 40 could obtain different demonization effects. This was the first time Vincent had heard of this. However, after recalling the Dark Elves that he had fought before, it was not difficult for him to discover something.
Jacob’s demonization effect allowed him to turn into countless demonic aura clones. Linus did not seem to use the demonization effect during his battle with Conrad. It seemed that he still had feelings for his father.
The High Priest of Dark Yuan City had clearly not reached level 40 which was why he had died so easily under Vincent’s blade.
As for the level 40 Dark Elves that he will meet in the future, Vincent will remember to be careful of their demonization effect.
Vincent stood with his blade in hand and said to Dave who was behind him, “Your Highness, please go to the side!”
At that moment, Vincent did not know the specific power of the demonized effect. In order to obtain the most accurate information, he had to use all of his strength to fight against the demonized Miller. Therefore, it would be very difficult for him to take care of Dave’s safety.
Dave nodded and quickly retreated to the side. He was carefully watching the unique and rare battle. Vincent was also going to display moves from the eight forms of Heaven’s Will.
After seeing that Vincent still wanted to fight with him, Miller could not help but laugh wildly and said, “What? You have already forced me to use my strongest form. Do you still want to die?”
Vincent held his knife with both hands and ignored Miller. He shouted in a deep voice, “A pillar supporting the sky!”
He then raised his knife and stabbed forward in an instant. His entire body suddenly disappeared from where he was standing. It was as if his body had fused into the blade. A huge and sharp knife aura instantly gathered on the blade, like a feathered arrow leaving the bow and stabbed directly at Miller.
After seeing Vincent’s sudden attack, Miller raised his hand and grabbed the spear beside him. The spear that was made using the Origin Divine Tree instantly burst out with a demonic aura. The demonic aura attached itself to the spear and solidified. The black spear became three-meter-long and had a metallic luster. At the same time, it was more compatible with Miller’s current figure.
“Since you want to die, then I’ll grant your wish!”
Miller roared and swept the spear in front of him. He crossed his hands and spun the spear with all his might. He formed a solid barrier to block all the incoming attacks.
In the next moment, Vincent’s indomitable blade collided with the afterimages of Miller’s spear that could block everything. They instantly set off a violent explosion.
Eerie demonic aura and sharp blade energy quickly spread out in all directions.
Dave, who was watching the battle from the side, hurriedly squatted on the ground, barely avoiding the terrifying aura that swept over his head. At the same time, he realized that Vincent’s attack was actually fruitless. He was not able to break through Miller’s defense at all. Instead, he stopped right in front of Miller’s spear barrier.
Miller roared with madness, “Haha, you won’t be able to defeat me, but I will definitely kill you today!”
Vincent, who stopped in front of Miller, could not help but frown slightly. This was the first time after comprehending the Art of Heaven’s Will that he was unable to create an effective attack.
However, this was not because there was a big gap between Vincent and Miller. Instead, it was because Miller’s current demonized form had a certain advantage when fighting against the Art of Heaven’s Will.
For example, take the mysterious Jacob from before. His strength originally surpassed Miller’s, but his demonized form could only be used for escaping. It was completely unable to withstand the terrifying attack of the Art of Heaven’s Will.
Miller’s demonized form strengthened his physical strength. Moreover, the demonic aura emitted from his body could strengthen his attached object to become even harder. This allowed Miller to block Vincent’s blade.
Countless thoughts flashed through Vincent’s mind at that moment, as he considered how to enhance his moves under the eight forms of Heaven’s Will. Not only would it be useful to kill Miller who was in front of him but it would also help him to deal with the endless demonized effects in the future.
Miller did not give Vincent any opportunities at that moment. After seeing that Vincent had stopped moving, he instantly stop spinning the spear in his hand. With a flip of his hand, he swung the spear in the air and used all of his strength to strike Vincent’s head.
Vincent could only raise his knife to block the giant pitch-black spear. However, Miller’s strength was beyond Vincent’s imagination. Vincent, who had nowhere to retreat, instantly sank his legs into the soil. Only then did he managed to block Miller’s explosive power.
As Vincent continued to exert force, clusters of flames shot out from his body. It was as if the flames could no longer stay in Vincent’s body under the immense external pressure.
Miller looked at the flames seeping out from Vincent’s body and could not help but sigh in surprise, “So you’re not a Dark Elf at all. Who are you?”
Vincent held the black knife with both hands and closed his eyes. He did not say a word until his entire body was burning with intense flames. The fire soon assimilated his entire body and he transformed into a burning man that was made of flames from the inside out!
Suddenly, Vincent opened his eyes; his eyes contained two dancing flames.
He looked directly at the shocked Miller and said coldly, “Since you can change your form to strengthen your own power, then I’ll let you see my peak form!”
After constant thinking and filtering, Vincent finally thought of the most effective way to strengthen the eight forms of Heaven’s Will.
Flaming Sun Divine Body!
At this time, Vincent, who had turned into a fire spirit, was no longer restricted by Miller’s powerful strength. He turned into a ball of flames and successfully escaped from the giant black spear.
With the help of the Art of Heaven’s Will, Vincent transformed into a huge ball of fire that moved with the wind and floated into the air. It once again condensed into a body of flames. At the same time, a pair of huge fire wings spread out on his back.
Vincent, who was in the air, shouted loudly, “Come, come, come. If you have the ability, come take another strike from me!”
He then raised the Return Journey of the Dead up high.
With the help of the flame authority and the Art of Heaven’s Will, the body of the knife instantly condensed into a flaming blade that was dozens of meters long.
“Conquering the world!”
Vincent roared and slashed down with the long knife in his hand. A bolt of lightning immediately streaked across the sky, as if it had split into two halves.
At the same time, the surrounding forest started to burn spontaneously due to the high temperature of the flaming blade. The entire forest turned into an endless inferno.
Miller, who was under the blade, was aware of the surrounding situation. In order to prevent himself from ending up like Vincent, who had his legs stuck in the soil, he quickly spread his legs and assumed the position where he could easily lose his strength. He raised the huge black spear in his hand with all his might. He was prepared to block the flaming blade that fell from the sky.
“Bang!”
The flaming blade smashed directly onto the giant black spear. A red mushroom cloud instantly emerged with Miller in the center.
In the midst of the intense flames, the sounds of bones breaking could be heard!
Although Miller’s legs did not sink into the mud after Vincent’s powerful attack, his arms, torso, and bones in his legs were all shattered. His entire body fell to the ground like a pile of mud. He was trying his best to endure the flame blade but had unfortunately failed.
“Crack!”
As the flame blade dissipated into nothingness, the giant pitch-black spear in Miller’s hand could be seen to have broken into two. The spear burned intensely together with his body that had been split into two, until it completely turned into ashes, and became scorched earth together with the ground.
Vincent floated down from the air and landed on the ground. He ended his state of spiritualization by snapping his fingers lightly.
Under the effect of the flame authority, the burning flames in the surrounding forest were instantly extinguished by Vincent. The flames did not spread any further.
Vincent sheathed his blade and controlled the Demon King’s Groan. He withdrew the dark clouds in the sky and the entire world soon return to peace.
“You, you…”
Dave looked at Vincent with a face full of shock. His voice trembled so much that he could not even utter a full sentence.
This was because Vincent no longer had the appearance of a Dark Elf. He had completely transformed into someone that Dave had never seen before!
Vincent lowered his head and looked at his hands. He raised his head and said to Dave with a smile, “I just finished my fire spiritualization. I can’t transform back into the appearance of a Dark Elf just yet. However, after spending so much time together, it’s time for me to use my original appearance to meet you!”
After stuttering for a while, Dave finally got used to the situation. He sighed and asked, “Are you the alien who destroyed the statue in Dark Yuan City?”
Vincent nodded calmly.
Dave then asked, “Did you saved me back then because you wanted access to Devil Flame City?”
Vincent nodded again.
A bitter smile suddenly appeared on Dave’s face. He sighed helplessly, “Then why did you stay by my side and help me to do so many things?”
Vincent finally opened his mouth and said, “Because I think highly of your potential and admire your plans for the future of Devil Flame City! That’s why I’m willing to help you complete the things that you want to do!”
Dave, who had a sorrowful expression, was suddenly startled. He asked, “In other words, you acknowledge me, and you actually want to help me from the bottom of your heart?”
Vincent nodded and said, “To tell you the truth, I have another purpose for infiltrating Devil Flame City, and that is to assassinate Andre! But when I found out that you had the same thoughts, I still tried my best to persuade you, because I was worried that you would be controlled by the negative emotions in your heart. There are some things that I will do, but you can not do them, because you are the child that I think the most highly of. You will be able to help the Elf Race set things right in the future, and you are also my favorite disciple!”
After hearing what Vincent said, Dave immediately revealed a happy smile and said happily, “You’ve always treated me as your disciple and never thought of using me, right?”
Vincent nodded. Just as he was about to speak, a black shadow suddenly appeared beside him.
“Master, who is he? How did he become your favorite disciple?”
The black shadow questioned Vincent with a face full of resentment.
Vincent looked at Ebenezer who had suddenly appeared beside him and sighed in embarrassment and helplessness, “When did you come? I didn’t see you!”
Ebenezer said, “I was originally in Horace’s safe house. The two master’s lovers sensed that there was a big battle nearby, so they asked me to come out and investigate! How about it, master? You didn’t even discover my concealment methods. I should be your favorite disciple, right?”
Vincent was momentarily at a loss for words. He could not help but turn his head to look at the dumbstruck Dave. The warm atmosphere of the master and disciple opening up their hearts to each other had long disappeared because of Ebenezer.
Dave looked at Ebenezer and then at Vincent. He asked awkwardly, “Then what should I call you from now on? Should I continue to call you Vincent, or should I call you master?”
Vincent smiled and said, “Just call me by my name! If you call me master instead, I think you won’t be used to it!”
Ebenezer quickly said from the side, “Master, how can you be so biased? We are both disciples. Why are you treating him so well? I want to fight him one-on-one!”
