Chapter 403 - : Awakening the Zerg, Cold-Blooded Father
Chapter 403: Awakening the Zerg, Cold-Blooded Father
As Vincent had suddenly launched an attack and used the fire lines to lock onto Andre’s position beforehand, the heavily injured Andre could not dodge at all when the crystal spear pierced through the wall. Andre poured all his anger into his words and started cursing at Vincent.
Before Andre could even finish speaking, the crystal spear had already pierced through the space between Andre’s eyebrows and nailed him ruthlessly to the wall!
Even so, Andre still did not die. Instead, he rolled his eyes and stared at the door after hearing the sound of footsteps.
When Vincent walked into the room, he saw Andre looking at him. His head had been pierced through. He could not help but sigh, “How troublesome! I still haven’t found your core!”
Andre could not help but turn pale with fright when he heard that. He hurriedly asked, “How did you know that the Demon Race had a core?”
The smile on Vincent’s face gradually brightened. He said with a smug look, “It’s very simple. This is because Gajero once self-detonated in front of me, and I even cut off one of his arms!”
“Impossible, you’re lying!”
Andre roared at Vincent. He was very obsessed with the power of the Demon Race and was naturally the most fervent believer of Gajero. He naturally could not allow Vincent to humiliate Gajero at this time. Killing intent gradually appeared in his eyes.
Vincent acted as if he did not see this and directly walked forward. As he walked, he said, “Don’t look at me like that. In any case, you are already nailed to the wall. You can’t move even if you want to. And I will slowly find your core. At that time, I won’t be afraid of not being able to kill you!”
“In your dreams!”
Andre’s secret as a demon had been found out by Vincent. He could not help but roar in anger. As Andre was driven by a strong desire to survive, he clenched his teeth and began to shake his head.
After shaking his head violently, Andre’s head exploded like an empty shell. His head completely broke away from the control of the crystal spear. He then pounced toward Vincent with all his might.
After seeing Andre go berserk, Vincent quickly pulled out his Return Journey of the Dead to block Andre’s charging figure. However, he was unable to block the powerful impact and was pushed against the wall.
“I didn’t expect you to still be so energetic despite looking like this. Then, let me see how long you can survive!” said Vincent with a cold smile.
Following that, two bright flames started to burn in Vincent’s eyes. He was about to enter the state of fire spiritualization.
However, Andre seized the opportunity and raised his hand with the broken fingers. He stabbed fiercely into Vincent’s chest.
“I’m not stupid! I know that when your entire body turns into flames, you have a terrifying recovery ability. However, you are currently in your physical state, so you don’t have the ability to recover quickly. Thus, go to hell!” said Andre excitedly.
He tried his best to twist his broken hand that was in Vincent’s chest. It was as if he was taking revenge on Vincent for torturing him earlier.
When Vincent heard this, he suddenly gave up on entering the fire spiritualization state. Instead, he raised his left hand and grabbed Andre’s wrist.
Vincent said with a cold smile, “You’re really stupid! Who said that if I don’t enter the fire spiritualization state, I won’t have the ability to recover?”
His left hand that was holding onto Andre’s wrist suddenly emitted a dazzling red light.
Andre looked at Vincent in astonishment as he suddenly erupted with a powerful force. He tried pulling his hand out of his chest bit by bit. At the same time, he could feel his own life force continuously surging into Vincent’s body.
Meanwhile, Vincent was relying on the life force extracted from Andre’s body to heal the injuries on his chest. His heart, which was riddled with injuries, was completely restored in an instant. Following that, the muscles and bones in his chest, which were smashed, were also restored. They were as good as new in an instant as if he had never been injured.
“How is this possible? How is this possible?”
Andre exclaimed in horror. He could not imagine that there was a recovery ability that was even more powerful than the Demon Race.
Vincent pinched Andre’s wrist and said coldly, “Nothing is impossible. Before the blood law, the Demon Race’s recovery ability is just child’s play!”
Vincent sped up the process of the activated blood law. He began to extract the life force from Andre’s body even faster than usual.
Andre once again felt the fear of death and immediately roared angrily, “Since you don’t want me to live, then we can only perish together!”
With that, Andre’s unrestrained hand drew twice lightly in the air. A black array immediately appeared in the room. The moment the array appeared, it began to slowly collapse. It was the same array that Andre had temporarily constructed to stabilize the entire hall earlier.
At this moment, if Andre wanted to escape from Vincent’s hands, he could only destroy the entire hall and bury Vincent and himself under the ruins of the hall!
However, what Andre did not expect was that the hall did not collapse. He only saw the disdainful smile on Vincent’s face.
Vincent said coldly, “Do you want to drag me down with you? Save your breath!”
The entire temple began to collapse when Andre canceled the array. However, the thin fire lines that Vincent laid out in advance had formed a net that covered the entire temple. The dense fire net helped to restore the earth that was about to collapse into its original appearance.
Therefore, if Vincent did not cancel retrieve his fire lines, the temple would definitely not collapse!
After seeing that Vincent’s methods were endless and how he had repeatedly exceeded his imagination, Andre’s gaze immediately became fierce. He said in a deep voice, “Kid, you’re only a mere level 40 creature, yet you have such terrifying methods. Looks like I shouldn’t give you any hope. Right now, I’ll kill you at all costs and swallow you into my stomach so that you can become my tonic!”
As soon as Andre finished speaking, his arm that was being grabbed by Vincent instantly exploded and turned into a black bloodstain, blocking him from Vincent.
Vincent could not help but frown slightly after seeing this because the scene before his eyes was just like what Gajero had done in the space tunnel back then. He had sacrificed his own flesh and blood in exchange for even more powerful strength!
After sacrificing one of his arms, the injury on Andre’s chest and his severed fingers instantly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Moreover, not only was the skin of his entire body emitting a metallic luster but there was also a layer of black scales that had appeared on the surface of his body.
“A pillar supporting the sky!”
Vincent did not have time to think any further. He directly stabbed Andre’s chest with his backhand.
Vincent used his surging blade energy to push Andre against the opposite wall. If it was not for Vincent’s fire net strengthening the entire temple, Andre would have broken through the wall and flown into the sky!
However, even under such a powerful attack, the scales on Andre’s body merely produced intense sparks. The scales prevented Vincent’s blade from piercing through his body.
After seeing this, Vincent could not help but be shocked by Andre’s powerful defense. He did not expect him to obtain such terrifying strength after sacrificing just one arm!
At that moment, Dave suddenly shouted from the first level of the temple below.
“I found the entrance!”
Andre and Vincent were both shocked. The expression on Andre’s face turned into ecstasy, while Vincent’s face was filled with worry.
“Good son, I’m coming!”
Andre roared in ecstasy. He struggled to burrow into the ground below his feet. He could not wait to appear in front of Dave and grab him. After that, he would force Dave to take him to the underground entrance.
Just as Andre thought that he could break the floor under his feet, a huge force suddenly stopped him.
Although the floor had been broken by him, a large black-red net stopped Andre’s falling figure. At the same time, the terrifyingly high temperature began to roast the black scales on his body.
Andre could not help but turn to look at Vincent in shock. He knew that the magical method relating to flames definitely had something to do with him!
Vincent looked at the individuals on the first floor through the broken floor and shouted loudly, “Leave this place quickly! Andre will not let anyone off!”
The seven-man team that was recuperating saw Andre struggling desperately like a wild beast after falling into the net of fire. They widened their eyes in shock and quickly supported each other to walk out of the temple.
After seeing that his father had completely turned into a demon, Dave could not help but stand still for a few seconds. He then pulled out his weapon and turned to Vincent, “Let me help you!”
Vincent shouted anxiously, “Don’t worry about me, hurry up and hide!”
Andre heard Vincent’s warning to Dave. He was very worried that Dave would travel through space to hide from him. Therefore, he blew up his right leg into a bloody mess again!
After sacrificing his own flesh and blood, a dark purple light suddenly appeared on his body. His body was soon filled with tremendous strength. He waved his left hand with all his might and tore apart Vincent’s fire net. He landed in front of Dave in a blink of an eye.
Andre was standing on one leg. He only had one hand and one leg left. His sharp left hand instantly became huge, and he grabbed at Dave fiercely. His five sharp fingers instantly pierced into Dave’s body, only revealing his head.
“Prison Chains!” shouted Andre.
Streams of black gas surged out from his fingers and seeped through Dave’s wounds. It soon entered his flesh and blood. It was like a chain that bounded the father and son together. Andre guaranteed that Dave would not use any means to escape from his control.
At the same time, Vincent, who was upstairs, had already jumped down. He raised his Return Journey of the Dead and tried his best to chop at Andre’s remaining arm.
“Conquering the world!”
A huge blade that was dozens of meters long appeared in an instant and slashed accurately at Andre’s arm.
“Boom!”
After a series of explosive sounds, the scales on Andre’s arm flipped upward horrifyingly, revealing his flesh and blood that had been completely cut open.
Only bones were left behind in his body. Andre, who was crying out in pain, did not dare to continue tangling with Vincent. He bent one leg slightly and suddenly jumped up. He rushed out of the temple and disappeared from Vincent’s sight in an instant.
When Vincent saw this, he waved his left hand upward. The crystal spear that was nailed to the wall on the second floor instantly returned to his side.
Vincent dragged his knife and raised his spear to chase after Andre. Unfortunately, after exiting the temple, he could no longer see any traces of Andre in the vast ruins of Bright Moon City.
Vincent closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He knew that the purpose of Andre capturing Dave at this moment was to force Dave to lead him to the underground entrance. It was unlikely for Dave to be fatally injured for the time being. Therefore, Vincent had to use this period of time to think of a way to save Dave. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine what Andre would do to his son.
“Dave, I hope you can be smarter. As long as we maintain enough tacit understanding, I will have a chance to save you!” sighed Vincent softly.
He then put away the fire net behind him. The entire temple collapsed with a loud bang. The temple turned into mud and blended in with the ground.
Vincent put away the knife and spear in his hand and took out the tunnel token from his storage ring. He opened the Lingluo Race’s space tunnel and walked into it.
After passing through the spider web that covered the tunnel, Vincent arrived in front of a huge cocoon. He said in a slightly perturbed and determined voice, “Although I don’t know how much you’ve evolved, it’s time for you to show up. I hope you won’t disappoint me!”
At the same time, the tunnel token in Vincent’s hand suddenly lit up. This meant that someone had used the authority to modify to enter the parallel space-time tunnel.
“Now!” shouted Vincent in a deep voice.
He waved the space token in his hand forward, directly opening a huge hole in the cocoon.
It was dark inside the cocoon, so Vincent could not see what was inside at all.
However, in the next second, eight eyes that were the size of a football suddenly opened. They were staring straight at Vincent.
Vincent quickly took a deep breath, turned around, and ran.
“Roar!”
A deafening roar came from within the cocoon. Two dark claw feet pierced through the cocoon in an instant. They then use their strength and tore the cocoon into pieces, revealing a height of nearly ten meters from the inside. The Zerg’s tail had become bigger, and its skin looked as if it had dark red crystals on them.
The Zerg that had completed its evolution once again only had hatred for Vincent in its heart. Its six hind legs that were as thick as stone pillars began to leap forward with all its might. It then quickly chased in the direction where Vincent had escaped.
At the same time, in a temporary tunnel in the parallel space, Andre raised his left hand that was only supported by bones. He lifted Dave in front of him and shouted in a deep voice, “Quickly take me to find the underground entrance, or I will kill you immediately!”
Dave’s face was pale as his flesh and blood were merged with Andre’s palm. He could not help but smile bitterly and said softly, “Father, your arm will break soon. How can you still kill me now?”
Andre’s eyes wrinkled, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said in a deep voice, “You have no idea how powerful the Demon Race is. If I want to kill you now, it is just a matter of raising my hand!”
Dave’s smile became even uglier, and he said helplessly, “Since you think the Demon Race is very powerful, why don’t you go and kill Vincent?”
Andre ignored Dave and said in a low voice, “Devil Essence Retrograde!”
After Andre finished speaking, a black aura started to flow out from his broken arm and leg. The black aura condensed into a set of illusory arms and legs and allowed him to walk in the space tunnel. At the same time, the illusory arms applied pressure on Dave’s head and began to twist slowly.
Dave’s neck began to crack. Andre said in a deep voice, “Don’t mention Vincent to me anymore. No matter how strong he is, he cannot become the god that you believe in. The Great Demon King, Gajero, is the only powerful existence that the Elf Race can believe in! Bring me to the underground entrance immediately, or don’t blame me for not thinking of our relationship as father and son!”
Dave gave a helpless snort. He stretched out his arm from between Andre’s fingers and waved at the empty space in front of him. He instantly opened up a long tunnel.
After seeing this, Andre finally let go of the hand that was on Dave’s head and continued to carry him forward.
On the way, Dave said softly and advised Andre sincerely, “Father, stop!”
Andrew said with a crazed expression, “Stop? Why should I stop? I’m already a demon now. Shouldn’t I work hard for my own race? But don’t worry. After I complete the last mission, I can head to the Imperial City and become the Guardian Angel of the Elf Race! At that time, you will be the next City Lord of Devil Flame City, and I can turn a blind eye to the things that you and Vincent have done. I will not take the initiative to look for trouble with you!”
After hearing this, Dave could not help but sneer. He said in despair, “Of course you will let me become the City Lord of Devil Flame City and stop interfering with the things that Vincent and I have done. That is because by the time you complete your mission, Devil Flame City and the entire Elf Race will no longer exist, right? At that time, we can only die together with this piece of land that has exhausted its last bit of vitality. Father, of course, you don’t need to continue worrying then, right?”
Andre did not deny it. Instead, he nodded his head in approval. He grinned and said, “As expected of my son. He is actually so smart. It seems that I have indeed underestimated you for so many years! Unfortunately, you are not the son that I gave birth to after I became a demon. Otherwise, you would definitely become my pride. But now, I can only tell you that it is a pity. As a noble demon, I don’t need a son from the Dark Elves because you will become a stain on my demon bloodline. It will also let others remember that I was once a pitiful and pathetic Dark Elf!”
Dave heard Andre’s crazy talk. With a face full of despair, Dave shook his head and said, “It seems that I was too naive. I thought that I could persuade you to turn back. Since you have abandoned the Elf Race, then from now on, we are no longer father and son, but enemies!”
Andre asked with a wild laugh, “Are you worthy of being my enemy?”
Dave said softly, “To become your enemy is not based on strength, but whether you stand on the opposite side of the Elf Race!”
