Chapter 431: A Chain of Traps, Trouble Was Brewing
“Vincent, be careful!”
Dave reminded Vincent when he saw Darren suddenly making a move.
Vincent had already pulled out his Return Journey of the Dead. His pitch-black and heavy blade slashed straight ahead, and the formation under Darren’s feet was instantly broken into pieces.
After the black light dissipated, Darren, who was at the back, was once again exposed. However, Darren did not panic at all. Instead, he stretched out his hands and used his fingers to hook onto the wound on his neck. He then pulled hard in two opposite directions.
A nauseating ripping sound was heard.
Darren had actually torn open his own skin, revealing the black flesh inside his body!
At the same time, a large amount of demonic aura rose and began to attach itself to Darren’s flesh and bones, turning him from a Dark Elf into a complete demon.
Vincent did not feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, he went forward to observe Darren’s transformation and asked directly, “Is this your demonized form, or have you transformed into a demon permanently?”
Darren was no longer dull and slow like before. He waved his hand toward Vincent’s throat and shouted, “This is my eternal demonized form! It is also the strongest demonized form bestowed upon me by the Great God Gajero to kill you all!”
Vincent felt a sharp wind when Darren’s fingertip brushed past his neck. He could not help but feel slightly surprised by this. This was because Darren’s attack, whether it was speed or strength, had already reached a level that was faintly close to his.
Therefore, Vincent had to be very careful when dealing with it. Otherwise, if he made a slight mistake, he might also be injured by the opponent’s hand. If he was injured in the incomparably deep underground, he would lose his ability. Losing his ability meant that he would only suffocate to death here!
At that moment, Dave, who had always been behind Vincent, attacked first. He held his knife and rushed up from behind Vincent. He slashed down heavily at Darren, who had evolved into a demon.
“Conquering the world!”
Following Dave’s loud shout, a black blade that was more than ten meters long instantly appeared in the underground passage.
Darren did not panic at all when facing Dave’s attack. Instead, he waved his hand casually and directly swatted away the blade that was in front of him.
Vincent’s eyes flashed when he saw this. He sighed in his heart, “His power should be an evolution that favors strength!”
After sensing the characteristics of the other party’s ability, Vincent raised his left hand and pointed at Darren. He shouted in a deep voice, “Modify weakness!”
A crystal-clear light shone from Vincent’s fingertip and shot toward Darren at high speed.
However, what Vincent did not expect was that the bright light that represented the authority to modify was actually repelled by the demonic aura on the surface of Darren’s body. It did not have the slightest bit of effect on him.
Vincent could not help but be very surprised. He cast the authority to modify again.
“Modify deprivation!”
“Modify slowly!”
“Modify fatigue!”
As Vincent continued to activate his authority to modify, rays of sparkling light kept flying toward Darren like arrows. However, the result was without exception. All of his attacks were repelled. They did not have the slightest effect on him.
After Darren deflected the blade, Dave staggered and crashed into a wall. When he came back to his senses, he saw Vincent casting spells at a high frequency. In the end, all of them were ignored by Darren.
“Eternal dark chains!” shouted Dave in a deep voice.
A large amount of black energy surged out of his body and condensed into solid chains wrapping around Darren’s joints.
Dave and Vincent shared the same thought. Since Darren had displayed strong physical strength, then he should roughly have the same strength as Andre. His physical body was strong and his recovery ability was vigorous. However, his ability to cast spells was relatively weak. When faced with long-range spells, he had almost no ability to fight back.
Based on their previous battle experience, Dave and Vincent believed that they would definitely be able to find Darren’s weakness by casting long-range spells!
However, Darren did not retreat at all when facing the long chain that extended from the air. He did not even dodge. Instead, he just rushed forward.
The moment the chain touched Darren’s body, it collapsed. The chain had become like ice. It shattered easily with just the touch of a finger and broke in an instant.
Dave was greatly shocked by the scene and retreated in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Vincent took the opportunity to spiritualize his entire body into fire, bringing with him raging flames as he stood in front of Dave.
“A pillar supporting the sky!”
Vincent held his weapon with both hands in the midst of the flames and stabbed straight ahead. A large amount of blade aura and battle intent condensed into flames, forming a lifelike fire dragon that spiraled toward Darren.
Darren finally reacted, but he did not dodge. Instead, he raised his arm in front of his body and continued to run against the whistling fire dragon.
Vincent was shocked. Whether it was his blade aura or the flames, they would instantly dissipate when they met the demonic aura on Darren’s body. He could not cause any harm to him!
Vincent frowned as he looked at Darren who was about to run in front of him and sighed with a solemn expression, “Magic Immunity!”
After hearing Vincent’s sigh, Dave’s expression immediately turned ugly because he knew what magic immunity meant.
That would mean that in the following battle, Vincent and Dave would not be able to use any of their abilities. They could only use the blade in their hands to hack Darren to death. Moreover, during this time, Darren could cast spells on them!
It was very inconvenient to attack using a blade in the narrow tunnel. However, the tunnel was very suitable for casting spells. This was because most of the spells could cover the width of the entire tunnel. It did not leave any room for the opponents to dodge. This was also the reason why Vincent used the modification authority.
He knew that he had to familiarize himself with the terrain and find the right attack method as this was the best way to fight.
However, Vincent and Dave were forced to use their blades to fight in close combat, while the other party could fight in both close combat and ranged combat. It was clear that the other party had the upper hand!
Vincent did not appear to be too flustered when faced with the sudden change. When Darren rushed in front of him, he directly raised his blade to meet the other party’s fist and collided.
“Bang!”
The two enormous forces collided, creating a huge tremor in the underground tunnel. The tunnel that had been excavated for nearly twenty years was currently in a precarious state. Countless gravel had fallen down. At the same time, many terrifying cracks and shadows appeared. The tunnel was on the verge of collapsing!
Vincent gritted his teeth and held the hilt of his blade tightly. He was barely able to match Darren’s strength. However, Darren was also in a stalemate with him. He was unable to resist the falling gravel around him.
After seeing this, Dave quickly swung his knife forward and destroyed the few boulders that were about to hit Vincent. His gaze then fell on Darren. He was prepared to swing his knife and attack Darren to relieve the pressure on Vincent.
However, at that moment, Vincent managed to squeeze out a warning to Dave.
“Space Tunnel!” shouted Vincent.
Dave immediately understood. He stretched out his hand and slashed gently at Vincent’s back. He opened the space door and disappeared in a flash.
After Vincent sensed something, he immediately withdrew his own strength. He quickly retreated after facing the tremendous force from Darren’s fists.
Darren, who had the upper hand, wanted to seize the opportunity to pursue and attack. However, he suddenly realized that the Vincent in front of him was gradually disappearing into the air. At the same time, he felt like he would be pulled into a mysterious space just like Vincent if he took another step forward!
Darren was someone who trusted his own premonition. When he sensed the abnormality in front of him, he stomped his feet heavily on the ground, leaving two deep footprints. He also stopped advancing. He felt as if a door was slowly closing in front of him and was disappearing into nothingness!
Vincent and Dave, who were in the space tunnel, could not help but frown as they looked at Darren. Darren was standing within the tunnel that was about to collapse. His face was still filled with caution.
Dave sighed with a worried face, “This fellow is even more difficult to deal with than we had imagined. His entire body is filled with terrifying strength, and coupled with his immunity, he does not seem to have any weaknesses. What should we do now?”
Vincent looked at Darren in front of him carefully and said seriously, “This is a trap that Gajero had set for us. He specifically gave Darren the ability to restrain us more, so that we can stay in this hole forever! Gajero is also not worried that we will take the opportunity to escape. This is because if we want to retrieve the Origin Divine Earth that had been collected, we will have to defeat Darren. Otherwise, once he performs the sacrificial ceremony to Gajero, Serene Spring City will be destroyed!”
Dave asked with an unwilling expression, “Then, do we have any other solutions at the moment?”
Vincent nodded lightly and said, “Of course we do! It’s just that I haven’t figured it out yet. I still have a powerful trump card. Gajero has also increased Darren’s strength. What exactly is he doing all of this for? Could it be that other than Darren, he has arranged more dangerous traps?”
Dave looked at the worried Vincent. He did not understand. He quickly urged, “Now is not the time to be hesitant! No matter what Gajero has prepared, we must first get rid of Darren!”
Vincent nodded and said, “Alright then! We’ll first get rid of Darren and see what Gajero is up to!”
After saying that, Vincent took out the tunnel token and took two quick steps forward. He opened the space door behind Darren and returned to the tunnel with Dave quietly.
Vincent raised his hand toward Darren’s back and shouted in a deep voice, “Blood Law!”
A large amount of dark aura surged out from Darren’s body and entered Vincent’s body instead.
Darren felt that his own strength and vitality were depleting rapidly. He wanted to turn his head to look behind him. However, he discovered that his ability to move had become extremely slow. He was afraid that he would not have time to turn around. His life was about to come to an end.
“Kill him!”
At that moment, the rock walls around the tunnel suddenly shattered. Three figures appeared out of thin air and charged toward Vincent at the same time!
