nVincent set off again. An hour later, he was surrounded by more than ten Stinging Wild Boars.
n
n
nStinging Wild Boars were intermediate-level monsters. Their bodies were covered with stingers that could be shot outwards to attack their targets.
n
n
n
n
nThe Stinging Wild Boar King on the other hand was an advanced-level monster.
n
n
nVincent looked at the Stinging Wild Boars and smiled happily at them. He was not afraid.
n
n
nAn intermediate-level monster was not a problem for Vincent at all.
n
n
nAlthough Vincent was just a beginner-level superpowered person, his combat strength was enough to fight against a high-level superpowered person.
n
n
n
n
nAfter all, Vincent had learned many tricks using Hellfire.
n
n
nFor instance, the fire net could restrict one’s movement and control.
n
n
nThe fire arrow could breakthrough high defense and attack.
n
n
nThe flash and flash bullets could distract his opponents and increase his agility.
n
n
n
n
nVincent’s current usage of Hellfire covered all aspects.
n
n
nIn other words, he had managed to develop Hellfire, an elemental-type superpower into an all-rounded superpower.
n
n
nThis was not something that he did on purpose. It was just a solution that he thought of when he was practicing in the superpower training room. He combined the battle situations to make up for his own shortcomings.
n
n
nWith a flip of his hand, he condensed a Hellfire arrow. He then swung it at the Stinging Wild Boar King.
n
n
nAs the saying goes, “Shoot the man’s horse before you shoot the man.”
n
n
nVincent learned this principle five years ago.
n
n
n
n
nHowever, Vincent did not expect the Stinging Wild Boar King to receive his attack. It turned sideways and used its body to receive the Hellfire arrow.
n
n
nIt gathered all the thorns on its body and formed one huge thorn in its center.
n
n
nBang!
n
n
nThe Hellfire arrow collided with its thorn, and black flames started to burn towards the Stinging Wild Boar King.
n
n
nThe Stinging Wild Boar King did not panic. It just shook its body and the thorn that was engulfed by the Hellfire flames fell to the ground.
n
n
nIt turned its head and looked at Vincent mockingly.
n
n
nWhen Vincent was fighting the Stinging Wild Boar King, the other wild boars did not bother to watch. They wanted to attack Vincent as well.
n
n
nVincent growled and swung his Purgatory Blade. He looked as if he was dancing with the wind.
n
n
n
n
nThe flying thorns were shot down by Vincent one after another. One of the wild boars got too close to Vincent and was instantly beheaded.
n
n
nHowever, the incident did not instill fear amongst the wild boars. Instead, it aroused their ferocity.
n
n
nTheir eyes were red as they grunted.
n
n
nWhen Vincent saw that the Stinging Wild Boars were planning to fight him in close combat, he smiled.
n
n
nHe was different from the other elementalists.
n
n
nHe was better at close-range combat as compared to long-range combat.
n
n
nVincent attached Hellfire to his Purgatory Blade, and a tongue of fire shot out from it.
n
n
nThe fiery red color on the blade looked very demonic.
n
n
n“Jump slash!”
n
n
nVincent jumped up to decrease the distance between him and the Stinging Wild Boar King.
n
n
nWhilst he was still in the air, he performed another Collapsing Mountain Strike.
n
n
nThe Collapsing Mountain Strike performed by Vincent this time was different from all the previous ones.
n
n
nPerhaps it was because Vincent had used Hellfire on his Purgatory Blade.
n
n
n
n
nThe formless blade aura actually turned black.
n
n
nA blade aura formed by the pitch-black flames slashed towards the head of the Stinging Wild Boar King.
n
n
nIt was extremely fast.
n
n
nThe Stinging Wild Boar King frowned and raised its four hooves, dodging nimbly.
n
n
nAlthough it dodged Vincent’s attack, its tail was still cut off.
n
n
nThe smell of meat wafted out.
n
n
n“Roar!”
n
n
nThe Stinging Wild Boar King howled in pain and roared at Vincent. It was extremely furious.
n
n
nThe Stinging Wild Boars became crazy and started to attack Vincent.
n
n
nSome used their stingers, and some tried to restrict Vincent’s movements.
n
n
nThey all worked well together.
n
n
nFor a moment, Vincent was in a bit of a pinch.
n
n
nNevertheless, he still refused to use Monster Affinity as he did not see a need for it.
n
n
nAfter all, he was just facing an intermediate-level monster. If he had to use Monster Affinity against an intermediate-level monster, it would be a waste.
n
n
nAs the battle went on, the Stinging Wild Boar King became confused.
n
n
nWhy was this human different from all the other ones it encountered before?
n
n
nHe was still alive and kicking even after fighting for so long.
n
n
nSeven or eight of its underlings had died, but Vincent still acted as if nothing had happened.
n
n
nVincent was able to fight for so long because of the Purgatory Blade’s special attributes.
n
n
nIt reduced his psionic power consumption by 15%.
n
n
nIt may not seem like much, but as the battle went on, the effects began to show.
n
n
nFor example, although Vincent did not have much psionic power left in his body, he did not have any problem killing the Stinging Wild Boars.
n
n
nAt that moment, the Stinging Wild Boar King suddenly roared into the sky. Its voice was filled with fear.
n
n
nThe other Stinging Wild Boars stopped attacking Vincent and crouched on the ground. It looked as if they were waiting to be slaughtered.
n
n
nVincent was stunned and was completely unaware of what had just happened.
n
n
nHowever, he did not hesitate to kill them.
n
n
nHe raised his Purgatory Blade and was about to kill all the Stinging Wild Boars.
n
n
nAs he raised his blade, the ground suddenly began to shake. The frequency of the tremor increased.
n
n
nAt the same time, there was a loud rumble.
n
n
n“What’s happening? An earthquake?”
n
n
nVincent’s face was full of confusion. He looked down on the ground and saw pebbles jumping all around him.
n
n
nHe looked up again and saw the Stinging Wild Boar King leading its underlings. They all rushed in the opposite direction of the loud roar.
n
n
nVincent frowned. If he still could not figure out the problem, he would be a fool.
n
n
nHowever, he still could not understand what had happened.
n
n
nNevertheless, no matter what it was, he knew that it was not something that he could handle. He turned around and ran in the direction of Hero City.
n
n
nThe earth shook more and more violently, and the rumbling sounds behind him became louder.
n
n
nVincent turned his head to look behind him and was almost scared out of his wits.
n
n
nThere were so many monsters behind him!
n
n
nThey were all over the mountains and plains, like a tide.
n
n
nThere were all kinds of strange monsters!
n
n
nTheir faces were filled with excitement as they all fought to be first.
n
n
n“F*ck! What’s happening?”
n
n
nAfter seeing the Monster Horde getting closer and closer, Vincent really wished that he could just grow a pair of wings and fly into the sky.
n
n
nHe was not a monster. His skin was rough, and his flesh was thick. He could run rampant.
n
n
nHe will need to destroy anything that was in his way.
n
n
nHe also needed to avoid trees, bushes, boulders, and other obstacles.
n
n
nHe had to travel a lot more than the monsters.
n
n
nHe was really small in comparison to them.
n
n
nAlong the way, countless monsters continued to join the Monster Horde.
n
n
nThis resulted in the horde getting larger in size.
n
n
nThe Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex flew in the air. Its cold eyes looking in the direction of Hero City.
n
n
nIt could sense that there were many humans there.
n
n
nThe humans were its target this round.
n
n
n“Roar!”
n
n
nThe Phoenix-Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex roared towards the sky.
n
n
nWhen the other monsters heard its roar, they all became very excited and increased their speed.
n
n
nVincent was not slow. He was about to leave the defensive mountain range.
n
n
nAt that moment, William and his underling were hiding behind a huge rock.
n
n
n“Prince William, Vincent!”
n
n
nWilliam revealed a cruel smile.
n
n
n“Your superpower is Shadow Binding, right?”
n
n
nThe underling nodded and looked at William in confusion.
n
n
n“In a bit, you can bind him. I want to use him to feed my babies.”
n
n
nAs William spoke, more than ten monsters appeared behind him.
n
n
nHalf of them were high-level monsters.
n
n
nAlthough the underling knew that the monsters were all being controlled by William, he was still afraid.
n
n
nHe was even more afraid when he thought of the miserable state Vincent would be in after being torn apart by all these monsters. He could not help but shiver.
