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.
