“It really is Myron!”
When Dave saw the old Dark Elf walking out of the office, he could not help but exclaim.
Vincent frowned slightly. He looked at Myron’s calm face as he walked over. It was obviously not the first time that he had brushed past Andre in this way!
Why did Myron not see Andre as his enemy? Why did he not take advantage of Andre diving into the abyss to launch a sneak attack on him?
Although Andre could climb hundreds of meters into the abyss, if he really fell to the bottom of the abyss, it would be absolutely impossible for him to climb back up!
Myron watched helplessly as the opportunity for revenge passed by him time and time again, but he was not bothered about it at all!
This meant that compared to killing Andre, there was something even more important to Myron!
Vincent sighed softly, “Interesting. Looks like we can see more secrets come to light today!”
Dave nodded silently and looked at Myron. He walked to the entrance of the ninth floor and lowered his head to look at the abyss below. Unfortunately, he did not have the same ability as Vincent so he could not see the scene below him clearly.
At the same time, Myron did not share the same experience as Andre. Thus, he was unable to climb down the abyss smoothly as he had no memories of the swords that were inserted into the cliff. He was unable to make a smooth detour to the bottom of the abyss.
Therefore, after Myron took a few glances, he withdrew his gaze and took out a crystal ball-shaped object from his storage ring. He closed his eyes and chanted softly. The crystal ball in his hand emitted a faint halo.
“Great Devil Gajero, please grant me eyes that can allow me to peer into the darkness!” said Myron softly.
He then threw the ball of light in his hand toward the abyss.
What surprised Vincent and Dave was that the light emitted by the crystal ball did not illuminate the darkness in the abyss. Instead, it was absorbed by the endless darkness, like a stone that had fallen into the sea. It did not stir up any waves and soon disappeared into nothingness.
However, at the same time, a pitch-black light screen suddenly appeared in front of Myron. Inside it was a black scene. One could vaguely see that it was the space under the Abyss.
When Vincent saw this, he could not help but say softly, “It seems that Myron, the true boss of Hell’s Rose, is astonishingly rich! The darkness in the abyss had absorbed all the light in an instant, but this crystal ball can still transmit a slightly illuminated scene. It looks like a treasure!”
Dave frowned and said, “I remember that three years ago, a temple in the main city was broken into and an important treasure for sacrificial purposes was stolen. It was called the Eye of the Devil, and it had the ability to spy on everything. At that time, it caused a great uproar. The local high priest even committed suicide to atone for his sins, but he was still unable to appease the anger of the believers and the City Lord. Until now, no one has mentioned this matter. I think the crystal ball in Myron’s hand is very likely the lost Eye of the Devil!”
Vincent nodded and said, “Looks like this is a treasure that Myron especially found in order to find out what Andre did in the abyss!”
Dave asked curiously, “Why do you say that? Isn’t it possible that it was Myron who stole the treasure in the first place?”
Vincent shook his head and said, “If the crystal ball was in Myron’s hands from the start, then he should have investigated what Andre did down there long ago. He would not continue to observe Andre, but instead, wait for an opportunity to take revenge on him!”
“Then, what should we do next? Should we continue to wait and see what Myron will discover, or go down and take a look?”
Dave was a little tempted as he asked because he knew that there must be an extremely important secret in the abyss. The secret made the two city lords of Devil Flame City explore it painstakingly.
Vincent smiled slightly and said, “Of course, we’ll go down and take a look!”
As he spoke, he once again used his modification authority and controlled the platform to continue descending until it was 300 meters away from the ninth-floor entrance.
Dave looked at his surroundings that had sunk into the endless darkness. He felt extremely depressed and swallowed his saliva nervously. At the same time, he realized that even if he could reach the bottom of the abyss, it would still be useless. This was because he was unable to see the surrounding darkness clearly without any special equipment.
However, Vincent’s vision was not obstructed at all. He could clearly see everything around him. When he saw the weapons that were inserted into the surrounding walls up close, he suddenly realized that these weapons were not left behind by those who had fallen into the abyss. Instead, they were actually simple boardwalks specially made for one to go deep into the abyss!
Although the weapons were rusty and had corroded, it was not difficult to see that they were previously rare divine weapons. Even though they were embedded in the stone walls all year round, they could still maintain their toughness and carry the weight of others.
Vincent also discovered that the weapons were not inserted in a consistent manner. There were gaps and holes along the pathway. Even if someone was able to climb down, they would still end up dying because of the random gaps that would appear. It was also too dark for them to see anything.
Only those who were very familiar with the pathway could be able to avoid all the traps and reach the bottom successfully!
Vincent even began to suspect that the Dark Elves who had fallen into the abyss were actually looking for traces of this pathway. However, they were unable to discover the traps beneath their feet and ended up falling into the endless abyss!
And those who came to explore were most likely hired by Myron. This was because Myron was the only one that had discovered Andre’s strange actions. He would definitely be very curious about Andre’s secret!
Moreover, as long as one was smart, they would be able to guess that this secret not only concerned Andre’s life and wealth but could also potentially be an opportunity for someone to become the City Lord of Devil Flame City!
As they were ruled by the Demon Race, they knew that the demons only cared about results. They did not care about the process at all. Hence, Myron knew that he still had the opportunity to become the City Lord of Devil Flame City again. Therefore, his ambition far surpassed the hatred for Andre in his heart. It made him eager to know what Andre had done in the abyss!
As the platform continued to descend, the circular walkway that extended 300 meters suddenly stopped. At the end of the walkway, there was a secret cave that was as high as a person. There was a huge protruding rock at the top of the cave. This was the reason why Vincent was unable to see the cave when he was observing from above earlier. He could only see Andre’s figure disappearing under the huge rock.
Vincent’s gaze focused slightly as he tried to look into the cave. He saw three skeletons lying around the entrance of the cave. The interior of the cave was deep and tortuous, and one could not see the end. Andre was standing a few steps away from the entrance of the cave. He was squatting down on the ground doing something. He looked very busy.
Dave said helplessly, “It’s too dark. Unfortunately, we can’t see anything! If we had known earlier, we would have stayed up there to watch Myron’s broadcast!”
After hearing that, Vincent could not help but raise his head to look at the crystal ball that was still slowly descending from above. He sighed softly, “If we stayed up there, we would still not have seen anything. However, we might have a chance here!”
Dave turned to look at Vincent, his face full of anticipation as he asked, “Do you have a way to make the abyss light up?”
Vincent shook his head and said, “No way! And even if there is a way, it will also arouse Andre’s vigilance. At that time, the two of us will be exposed!”
Dave sighed with some disappointment, “What can we do then? Are we just going to wait here for a miracle to appear?”
Vincent said softly, “There’s no need to wait for a miracle. We can just wait for Andre to leave and personally go to the places that he had passed by to take a look. Won’t we know what he’s doing then?”
Dave’s eyes instantly widened and he sighed in surprise. “You can see my father? The darkness in here can’t block your line of sight?”
Vincent nodded.
Dave quickly asked, “Then where is my father? What is he doing now?”
Vincent looked into the cave again and said, “He is now in a cave. There are a few white bones around him. It seems that he is the person who dug this cave. But for some reason, he is dead. And your father is… setting up a formation!”
Originally, Vincent was still somewhat uncertain of what Andre was doing. However, when he saw Andre taking out a few spiritual materials and placing them under his feet in an orderly manner, he finally realized that he wanted to create a formation to obtain some kind of ability!
As Andre could not see anything in the darkness, everything that he wanted to do needed to be done by groping. Hence, his actions were very slow, which gave Vincent enough time to observe and guess.
After listening to Vincent’s description, Dave could not help but ask, “A formation? What’s the use of setting up a formation here?”
Vincent shook his head. This question had already exceeded the scope of his understanding. After all, this was the abyss that was unique to the Elf World. Vincent did not understand it at all, let alone speculate on Andre’s motive!
He could only wait and see at this point!
At that moment, Myron’s crystal ball floated in front of Vincent and Dave. It was on the same level as the cave. It immediately stopped moving and quietly floated in the abyss.
Vincent sighed softly, “It seems that Myron has already found Andre’s position. No matter what Andre does next, it will be seen clearly by us and Myron!”
At this moment, Dave, who had seen everything, could not help but ask anxiously, “Myron can see my father too? Doesn’t that mean that I’m the only one who can’t see anything!”
Vincent was about to nod when he suddenly saw that the formation that Andre had set up was completed. A weak light instantly gushed out of the formation and turned into a large white hand. It rushed out of the cave and grabbed toward the bottom of the abyss.
This time, even Dave saw the white hand. It was the only source of light in the abyss. Therefore, it instantly attracted his attention.
Dave sighed in surprise, “What is this?”
At the same time, he also used the light from the large hand to look into the cave in front of him. He saw Andre maintaining the formation.
Vincent was not in a hurry to frown. Instead, he just said, “This should be a higher-level spell that belongs to the Demon Race. It can only be completed through a specific ritual. The purpose for it is to obtain the thing at the bottom of the abyss!”
Dave asked, “The thing at the bottom of the abyss? What else could there be down there?”
He then lowered his head to look at his feet and was immediately stunned.
This was because, at this time, the large white hand had already risen from the bottom of the endless abyss. There was a clear spring-like liquid in the palm of the hand.
The liquid was clear and bright, and there seemed to be stars shining in it. Moreover, it was as heavy as a mountain. That was why the speed of the hand rising had slowed down.
Dave exclaimed in shock, “What is this?”
Vincent sighed as if he had understood something, “This should be the Elf Race’s Origin Divine Earth!”
Dave took two steps back subconsciously, his face filled with shock as he looked at the large hand that was getting closer and closer to him. He observed the sparkling and gorgeous liquid in his hand. He was quite certain of Vincent’s guess in his heart.
All the elves, including Dave, knew about the legend of the Origin Divine Earth. They also knew that the Origin Divine Earth ensured the survival of the entire Elf Race. Without the Origin Divine Earth, the entire Elf World would completely collapse. All the elves would then be buried together with it!
Dave raised his hand and gripped the hilt of the knife by his waist tightly. He frowned and sighed. “Back then, I wanted to kill father because we pursued different goals. At the same time, I was also tempted by the aura of the Demon Race. But if he wants to extract the Origin Divine Earth to curry favor with Gajero, then he would be cutting himself off from the entire Elf Race. There is no need for me to stop him alone then!”
Vincent nodded and said, “If he has been stealing the Origin Divine Earth all these years, the destruction he has caused to the Elf World will definitely reach an irreversible degree. It seems that we must put the assassination on the agenda again!”
Dave stood silently by Vincent’s side. His eyes were equally as determined.
In fact, ever since Dave learned about Vincent’s true identity and started practice with him, the aura of the Demon Race no longer had any effect on him. Therefore, his hatred toward Andre had been greatly diluted.
In fact, when he obtained Horace’s agreement to replace his father as the City Lord during the negotiation, he had already considered the mission as completed.
Dave had already let go of his father’s indifference toward him after so many years. He no longer had the thought of death in his heart.
However, after seeing that his father was seizing the Origin Divine Earth, Dave became unprecedentedly clear-headed. He realized that his father had become the common enemy of all the elves. Therefore, he had naturally become his enemy as well!
Dave asked in a deep voice, “Vincent, can you stop him?”
Vincent raised his head to look at the crystal ball floating in the abyss and replied seriously, “Yes!”
He then pushed Dave away.
After Dave took a few steps back, he was surprised to find out that the tunnel platform under his feet had widened by a lot. It was no longer a small platform that only fit the two of them.
Vincent quickly reminded Dave, “Don’t move! Using authority to maintain the state of the tunnel will consume my psionic power. This includes the magnification of the platform under our feet!”
Dave quickly stood still and nodded at Vincent with a serious expression. He wanted to see how Vincent was going to stop his father.
“Transformation Skill!” said Vincent softly.
His appearance instantly changed. He changed from a Dark Elf to a Fire Elf with red pupils!
Dave could not help but be greatly shocked when he saw the scene. He originally thought that Vincent was able to transform into a Dark Elf because he had some special item on him. However, it seemed that Vincent clearly had the ability to transform into any race!
Vincent naturally could not care about Dave’s shock at this time. He raised his head, pointed in front of him, and shouted, “Modify and open the door!”
A small door suddenly opened in the space tunnel, revealing Vincent’s head and hands. At the same time, Vincent could feel the cold aura of the abyss. He also felt a strong suction force pulling him out of the tunnel as if it wanted to devour him!
Vincent took a deep breath. After stabilizing his mind, he raised his hand and extended it out of the tunnel. His World Cleansing Fire was instantly activated. He transformed the fire into countless fire lines and spread them toward the white hand below. At the same time, it quietly wrapped around the crystal ball that was in the air.
At this time, the large white hand that was being controlled by Andre was still slowly rising. Although Vincent was standing in a rather bright area, there was still enough darkness to cover his figure.
When the fire lines surrounded the crystal ball, Vincent said softly, “Flame Extinguishing Gods!”
“Boom!”
The flames instantly exploded in the abyss. As there was a large white hand in the abyss, the darkness could not swallow all the flames in an instant. Instead, it made the abyss three hundred meters below the entrance of the ninth floor bright as day!
“Who is it?”
Andre, who was in the cave, heard the loud explosion and immediately raised his head to look out of the cave vigilantly.
With the help of the light that rose at the same time, Andre instantly saw a floating head in the abyss. It was a Fire Elf!
When Andre saw the scene, he could not help but feel a chill down his spine. This was because he could not understand why the Fire Elf in front of him only had a head and could float in the air.
Suddenly, the Fire Elf disappeared from Andre’s eyes.
“Who is it?”
Andre hurriedly shouted, but there was no reply from within the abyss.
Just as Andre was in a daze, the large hand that stretched out from the spell formation instantly dissipated due to the explosion of the flames. The Origin Divine Earth that was originally in his hand had scattered back down into the abyss.
“That’s great!”
Dave, who was hiding in the tunnel, could not help but shout excitedly when he saw the scene.
Vincent soon returned and shut the space tunnel tight. At the same time, he returned to his Dark Elf appearance. He smiled and sighed. “It’s a pity that he saw my appearance. Otherwise, I would have been able to perfectly divert the calamity!”
Dave asked curiously, “Divert the calamity? To whom?”
Vincent raised his hand and pointed at the crystal ball above them.
Dave raised his head and saw that the crystal ball had turned fiery red. It seemed to have expanded by a lot!
“Crack!”
Suddenly, the crystal ball, which had been burned to the extreme by the flames, could no longer bear such burden. A crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the crystal ball. There was a series of continuous cracking sounds.
After the explosion, the abyss instantly fell back into silence.
This allowed the continuous cracking sounds to reverberate throughout the entire abyss. It soon attracted the attention of Andre, who had just woken up from his shock.
Andre hurriedly walked to the entrance of the cave.. He used the light that had yet to fade away from his large hand and looked up. He immediately saw the crystal ball that had shattered, as well as a figure that was looking down from the entrance of the ninth floor!
