Chapter 526: Demon Slaughtering, Divine Weapon Upgrade

Vincent exhaled lightly as he embraced the power he had gained after increasing his level. He smiled in satisfaction.

Vincent looked at Hades, who was standing respectfully in front of him. He said in high spirits, “Today, I was able to kill a demon general. In the future, I will definitely be able to kill Gajero with my own hands!”

Justin’s voice suddenly rang in Vincent’s mind, “With your current growth speed, you can indeed be called a peerless genius. However, if you want to kill Gajero, I’m afraid you’ll need a few hundred years of constant improvement. Don’t plan so far ahead yet. Consider the current situation first. Your companions are not in a good situation!”

After hearing Justin’s sudden reminder, Vincent suddenly came back to his senses. He remembered that Kurt and the others were still facing more than 20 demons. He quickly said to Hades, “Leave!”

Hades, who was more than 10 meters tall, bowed respectfully to Vincent. He then walked to the high mountain and lava waterfall. He sat alone on the mountainside with his sword in his hands. The entire Purgatory of Nature slowly collapsed and disappeared.

Vincent returned to the streets of the city once again. However, he did not go to find Kurt and the others. Instead, he opened the space door and used the Cosmic Threads to check on his puppets.

The scene soon changed, and Vincent saw Kurt being besieged by more than 10 demons!

As Vincent was fighting Nicholas using all of his strength earlier, he could not control the nine puppet demons. As a result, the nine demons that were under his control always stood outside the battlefield and did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of Kurt. They instead provided Vincent with a more comprehensive view.

On the other hand, Kurt had upgraded himself. His combat strength far surpassed that of Ebenezer, and he had the strongest combat strength next to Vincent. When facing the level 40 demons, Kurt relied on the endless Dragon Race ability. Although he could not gain an advantage, it was enough for him to protect himself.

However, these demons were, after all, soldiers who had followed Gajero to battle everywhere. They had incomparably rich combat experience. After adapting to Kurt’s abilities, they quickly formed a circular battle formation around Kurt. There were three layers. Each layer was comprised of five demons. The other two demons were wandering outside the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The five demons in the inner circle joined forces to attack. If they missed, they would immediately retreat, and the five demons on the second layer behind them would take over the attack. This way, they could ensure that Kurt was constantly receiving blows and he would not have the time to use the Dragon Race’s ability that he possessed.

After seeing that Kurt was gradually at a disadvantage, one of the demons that was wandering outside the battlefield found an opportunity to pounce on Kurt as soon as he revealed a flaw. He grabbed onto his two daggers that glowed with purple light and directly stabbed toward Kurt’s eyes.

At that moment, Kurt was surrounded by demons. He was flustered when dealing with the dazzling battle formation. He had no time to guard against the demon’s sudden fatal attack.

Suddenly, a grayish-blue aura surged out of a house on the side and protected Kurt.

The demon who was about to succeed in his sneak attack immediately retreated the moment his dagger touched the grayish-blue fog. He did not dare to stay where he was.

“Be careful! That aura can strip away abilities. It’s very dangerous!”

After the demon escaped, he immediately warned his companions loudly. His face was full of solemnity.

However, before the other demons could react, Angelina instantly appeared and flew out of the house. She flapped her blue pair of wings and raised her hand to scatter a large amount of the Netherworld spirit on the battlefield.

The aura of the Netherworld spirit could destroy, disintegrate, and absorb any ability. When the aura of the Netherworld spirit came into contact with the demons, the demons immediately ran in all directions like frightened birds, fleeing from Kurt’s side with terrified faces.

Kurt, who had just been surrounded, was also affected by the aura of the Netherworld spirit. He quickly retreated to the side to prevent his own materials from being corroded.

The demon who had spoken to warn his companions earlier was the leader of the group. After observing Angelina, he immediately said, “Fortunately, she has not even reached level 40. Her power is far from reaching the fire earlier so don’t give her any chance. As long as we rush forward and kill her at the risk of losing some of our strength, this trouble will naturally be resolved!”

Angelina’s pretty face instantly turned cold when she heard that. She frowned and stared at the demon in front of her coldly. She wanted to see who would dare to go forward.

Suddenly, the sounds of stabbing were heard.

A long sword had pierced through the back of the demon’s chest. Everyone was shocked and immediately straighten their backs.

However, before everyone could look at the figure behind the demon, a series of sounds of blades rubbing against bones could be heard. They were followed by numerous stabs.

Angelina and Kurt could not help but look at each other when they saw this because the current situation was beyond their imagination.

The remaining demons were all dumbstruck. They looked at their leader who was just giving orders earlier in horror. They saw nine demons standing behind him, each of them raising their arms high. They had all stabbed him with their swords and did not have the slightest expression on their faces.

It was normal for demons to absorb the demonic aura that would disintegrate after the death of their companions, but it was very rare for their companions to kill each other. There was only one possibility for such a situation to occur and that was the Cosmic Threads that General Nicholas had mentioned to everyone!

Every demon was very familiar with the ability of this divine artifact, and they were even clearer about what would happen if one was controlled by the Cosmic Threads. Their nine companions were clearly being controlled by the Cosmic Threads.

The group leader, who had been stabbed like a hedgehog, was in bad shape. He let out an incomparably shrill scream and began to slowly dissipate into the aura of the Demon World. Among the nine swords that had passed through his body earlier, one of the swords had destroyed his demon core with great precision, causing him to lose his chance to revive. He had lost his life completely.

“Who on earth did this? Quickly release the signal and call General Nicholas!”

The elves could not help but shout out in panic. This was because they knew clearly that the opponent that they were going to face probably knew quite a bit about the demons. Their opponent seemed to also know about the secrets of the demon core. This ability was something the demons were most proud of as it gave them the ability to continuously regenerate. However, it seemed to have become their most fatal weakness instead!

At that moment, a slightly heavy but extremely gentle sound of footsteps could be heard from the other end of the street. The figure was slowly walking toward the crowd.

All the demons turned their heads and saw that the individual who came was not General Nicholas, but Vincent, who they had chased after them previously. They could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.

This was because Vincent came from the direction where General Nicholas was.

Vincent looked at the Demon World’s aura floating in the air and said to the other demons with a cold and murderous tone, “Your leader’s death, let it be a warning to all of you. Whoever dares to touch my woman will only end up dead!”

A demon summoned up his courage and asked Vincent loudly, “Who are you? Where is our General Nicholas?”

The smile on Vincent’s face did not diminish and he said coldly, “Nicholas? He is already a dead soul under my blade! But you don’t have to miss him too much because I will reunite you guys soon!”

After hearing Vincent’s death threat, the demons did not show any fear. Instead, they picked up their weapons even more resolutely and were prepared to launch an attack on Vincent.

The demon army, which had been invading worlds for many years, had long lost their sense of danger and death. Some of them still had the courage and determination to resist even when faced with a dangerous threat.

After seeing that the demons were unwilling to give up, Vincent raised his hand and took out the Cup of Fate.

Ever since he obtained the Cup of Fate, Vincent had been very interested in the abilities within. However, there were some abilities that he had not used before. Therefore, this moment was a very great opportunity!

“Alchemy Furnace!” shouted Vincent in a deep voice.

The Cup of Fate in his hand suddenly emitted a strange light. It was bewitching and filled with danger. It was as if it was a purgatory that could tempt others to jump into the abyss or sink into oblivion.

Half of the demons walked toward Vincent with blurred eyes. No matter how their teammates called out to them, it was useless.

When the eight demons walked in front of Vincent, the Cup of Fate suddenly enlarged. It was similar to a man-eating flower. The Cup of Fate swallowed the eight demons directly and refined their flesh and blood.

The Cup of Fate then shone brightly. There was a faint dark golden light flowing on the surface of its body. It seemed that its quality had improved again!

Vincent looked down at the Cup of Fate and instantly received a new set of data.

Name: Perfect Cup of Fate

Level: X-Class Special Equipment

Special Ability 1: Devour. Able to devour all psionic energy and convert it into the purest psionic power.

Special Ability 2: Soul Peeling. Peel the target’s soul. The prerequisite is that the target’s level must be lower than the user’s level.

Special Ability 3: Black Hole Energy Conversion. Able to convert psionic energy into Black Hole energy, but unable to be reversed.

Special Ability 4: Order the Demon Race. Can issue orders to all low-level demons. All low-level demons are not allowed to resist!

Special Ability 5: Alchemy Furnace. Can fuse any Demon Race with the Cup of Fate and increase the attributes of the Cup of Fate. The target’s level cannot be higher than the user, otherwise, it will be ineffective!

Special Ability 6: Demonization. Able to activate the demonization form for the host for a short period of time and will last for approximately 9 hours.

Special Note: The Cup of Fate is enhanced by the Protoss. Can increase the affinity of the Protoss towards the user.

“Very good!”

After seeing the new demonization ability on the Cup of Fate, Vincent sighed with a satisfied expression. At the same time, he looked at the other demons with a disappointed expression.

The ability of the Alchemy Furnace allowed Vincent to absorb any demon who was lower in level than Vincent into the Cup of Fate. It would then refine their bodies as nourishment and upgrade the Cup of Fate. The remaining demons all had the strength of a level 49 creature. Therefore, they could not be used as material for Vincent to upgrade the Cup of Fate.

Vincent could not help but feel very disappointed!

However, in the eyes of the remaining demons, Vincent’s gaze was terrifying and cruel!

Vincent completely ignored the expressions of the other demons and asked in a deep voice, “I already know the purpose of you coming here. Now, who will tell me how many more demons are on their way and what search plan you are going to carry out? I might be able to let one lucky fella off!”

When the demons heard this, they immediately fell into silence because they did not dare to resist Vincent at all!

The Cup of Fate was Gajero’s private item and could not be considered as the Demon Race’s famous divine artifact. Therefore, everyone did not know the ability of the Cup of Fate. They did not understand why they were not directly refined like their companions. They thought that Vincent just wanted to obtain information from them. However, in reality, it was simply because Vincent could not use the Alchemy Furnace to deal with them.

A demon hesitated for a moment before raising his arm with a compromised expression. He said, “I surrender. I can tell you anything that you want to know, as long as you can let me go!”

Vincent nodded lightly and said with a smile, “Alright, Congratulations on being the lucky one! The rest of you can go and die!”

As soon as Vincent finished speaking, the other demons instantly felt a strong sense of danger. They all raised their weapons and made a tight defensive stance.

However, Vincent did not attack them directly. Instead, he raised his hand and opened the space door. He stretched out his left hand and pulled out the Cosmic Threads from the space tunnel.

Several transparent threads shot into the sky and fell downward, turning those demons into puppets under Vincent’s control!

At that moment, all the demons were dead. Only the demon soldier who was willing to betray Gajero in exchange for his life was looking at Vincent with a terrified face.

Vincent asked in a deep voice, “Tell me what I want to know at once. Otherwise, your end will definitely be worse than theirs!”

The demon soldier who had been scared out of his wits completely gave up his bottom line. He quickly said, “We are the 26th Exploration Corps, with a total of 500 members. All of us have been ordered to teleport to the nearby Black Hole World and search the nearby area according to Lord Gajero’s instructions! We are just General Nicholas’s personal guards. We followed him to pick a world at will, but we didn’t expect to meet you here!”

After listening to the demon soldier’s explanation, Vincent monitored the puppets’ reaction through the Cosmic Threads. He was too lazy to search for the puppets’ memories. He wanted to confirm the authenticity of the demon soldier’s explanation through the puppets.

After a while, Vincent nodded and said, “That’s right, you’re telling the truth! Now, tell me about the strength of the soldiers of the 26th Exploration Corps and the strength of the most powerful soldier under Gajero.”

When the demon soldier saw that Vincent still seemed to have the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood, his heart became even more fearful. He quickly said, “The 26th Exploration Corps is only responsible for clearing the battlefield, transporting supplies, and slaughtering weak races. Therefore, their strength is not strong. As long as their strength exceeds level 40, they are qualified to join! As for the strongest of the Demon Race, they are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Corps, which are also known as the three armies of the king. Each of their members has the strength of a level 70 creature, and the three generals have the strength of a level 80 creature. Any of them can easily wipe out a world, and they are also the most trusted direct line of soldiers of our race leader!”

When Vincent heard this, he could not help but frown. He did not expect that there would be such a terrifying army under Gajero’s command. No wonder powerful races like the Star Race and the Vampire Race were defeated by Gajero.

An ordinary demon soldier had the strength comparable to the Vampire Race’s leader. The outcome of such a battle could not be changed!

Vincent exhaled gently and said, “Not bad, your answer is very satisfactory!”

When the demon soldier heard this, he said with a face full of anticipation, “Then, can I leave now?”

Vincent suddenly revealed a cold smile and said softly, “I’m just saying that whoever answers my question will not have to die. When did I say that I would let you off?”

When the demon soldier heard this, his expression changed drastically. He quickly retreated and pointed at Vincent as he cursed angrily, “B*stard, you actually dare to go back on your words! When the race leader arrives, he will not let you off!”

Vincent could not be bothered with the demon soldier in front of him anymore. With a flick of his finger, a transparent Cosmic Thread descended from the sky and pierced into the demon soldier’s body, turning him into a puppet.

After dealing with all the demons, Vincent turned around and walked toward Angelina and Kurt. He said seriously, “The Spirit World is no longer safe. We need to finish up here as soon as possible and then rush back to the Human World to seal the Black Hole of the Human Race! Otherwise, once Gajero finds our world, the Human Race will suffer!”

Angelina looked at the dozens of demon puppets standing behind Vincent and nodded. She replied, “We should leave as soon as possible, but what about these demon puppets? Do we have to bring them with us?”

Vincent smiled and said, “Of course! Not only do we have to bring them, but I also want to bring the entire 26th Exploration Corps. When the time comes, wouldn’t it be perfect for the demons to fight the other demons to the death?”

After hearing this, Angelina pursed her lips and turned around to look at the house behind her. She sighed sadly, “But sister and Irene are still drunk. I really don’t know how long they will stay drunk!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door suddenly swung opened. Avril and Irene walked out of the room in a daze. They asked with a confused look, “Where are we? What was that noise just now?”

Vincent looked at the two girls who had lost their composure and shook his head helplessly. He then thought of a good idea and beckoned the demon puppets behind him with his finger.

All the demons picked up their weapons and rushed toward Avril and Irene with the most ferocious expressions on their faces.

Avril, who was in a daze, suddenly saw the demons rushing toward her from behind Vincent and instantly woke up. She raised her hand and took out a crystal spear from her storage ring and threw Irene into the room. She acted as if she wanted to guard the door with all her might.

“Be careful, there are demons…”

Avril shouted at Vincent and the others with a shocked expression. The drunkenness on her body disappeared instantly.

However, when Avril saw all the demons suddenly stop in their tracks, her expression became extremely dull. Vincent and the others stood on the spot with a smirk on their faces. She instantly realized that she had been played. She could not help but recall how she looked when she was drunk.

“You, you actually used such a method to sober me up. You’ve gone too far!”

Avril rolled her eyes at Vincent with a slightly sullen expression. She then remembered what was wrong and sighed softly, “I think I threw Irene just now!”

After suddenly coming to her senses, Avril quickly turned around and ran into the house. Not long after, she helped the injured Irene out. She was limping.

Due to the sudden incident, Avril subconsciously wanted to protect Irene behind her. However, because she was drunk, the strength in her hand lost its accuracy for a moment, and she threw Irene against the wall. At the same time, it helped her sober up.

“Oh my, where is this place? Why, why does it give me a very familiar feeling?”

Irene, who was about to cry from the pain, realized that the unfamiliar environment around her actually gave her a very strange sense of security. She could not help but widen her eyes as she looked around. She tried hard to search through her memories. It was as if she wanted to find her fate with this place.

Vincent walked forward at this time and said softly to Irene, “This is the world of the Spirit Race, and also your hometown. This place may be strange, but it is also very familiar because you were taken away by the Ultimate Evil Lord here!”

Irene’s eyes could not help but sparkle. She asked in a heavy tone, “Then what about my parents? What about the other clansmen?”

Vincent shook his head with a heavy face and did not speak.
