Starting With 3 S-Class Talents - Chapter 404

When Andre heard Dave’s righteous words, he could not help but raise his head and laugh loudly.

Andre asked coldly, “It seems that I have really neglected to discipline you all these years. I actually did not realize that you still have such lofty aspirations. Do you want to rebel against me and the demons for the sake of the elves? Is this your idea, or did Vincent teach you this?”

Dave replied in a deep voice whilst controlling the tunnel in front of him, “Protecting one’s homeland is something that every member of every race would insist on doing in their hearts. This is my inherent position as an elf, but a traitor like you who has abandoned your race will never understand it!”

Andre did not get angry at Dave after hearing this. Instead, he said with a disdainful smile, “My good son, you are right! As expected of you all these years. To tell you the truth, since the day Miller disappeared, I have been preparing to train you to become the next City Lord of Devil Flame City. Although I have become a demon, if I want to continue to control Devil Flame City, I must have a Dark Elf City Lord as my front. And to me, no one is more suitable than you, my son! The ambition that you have shown has completely exceeded my expectations. If you hadn’t gone down the wrong path, I wouldn’t have given up the expectations I had for you for so many years! After all, I hesitated for a very long time before making the decision to not allow you and your mother to die together!”

Dave’s tone suddenly became extremely cold as he asked in disbelief, “What did you say?”

Ever since he was born, Dave had never seen his mother. As a result, he lacked the most precious motherly love during his childhood. Based on what Andre had said, Dave could tell that there was something fishy about his mother’s death. Dave wanted to ask for an explanation from Andre.

Andrew replied frankly, “Why is it so difficult for you to accept it? I’ve already said earlier, as a demon, I don’t need to have anything to do with the elves. Therefore, ever since I obtained the ability to become a demon, you and your mother have become the ones that I loathe the most. Your existence will not only expose my past but also damage my reputation as a demon! After all, I’m already a high-level creature. How could I have a wife and son from a lowly race? Therefore, I have to sever all ties with you. After I killed your mother, I thought that the Demon Race might continue to rule the Elf Race for a long time. I thought that if I kept you around, you might be able to become my puppet. Everyone in Devil Flame City thought that we didn’t get along because I didn’t like your talent. However, they did not know that it was because I hated the blood of the elves in you!”

Dave, who had been calm all this time, finally lost his cool. He struggled in Andre’s hand with all his strength and roared with anger, “You’re shameless, you scum of the elves! How could you do this to my mother? How could you let her down like that?”

Andre did not care about Dave’s attempt to struggle at all. Instead, he said with a face full of pride, “Why did I let her down? The moment I evolved into a high-level creature, her existence had let me down! So she had to pay with her life to atone for her sins, and you were able to live because of my magnanimity. It’s a pity that you don’t know how to be grateful, nor do you know how to fear the existence of the Demon Race. You only know how to be a blasphemer with Vincent. You’ve really disappointed me!”

“Disappointed? I’ll even surprise you!”

Dave gnashed his teeth as he spoke. At the same time, the space tunnel in front of him opened up at an even faster speed.

Andre watched as Dave cursed at him whilst opening up the space tunnel. He could not help but sneer, “What a joke, what a joke! You keep saying that you’ll do it for the elves, but in the end, aren’t you still working for me obediently? Kid, if you really have the guts, then don’t continue to open up the space for me. Unfortunately, you’re afraid of death!”

After hearing Andre’s ridicule, Dave fell silent, which was rare. At the same time, he who was being held in Andre’s hand became more and more sinister.

Andre did not care about Dave’s change at first. However, as he walked further and further into the tunnel, he suddenly realized that the situation in the tunnel looked a bit strange. Earlier, he could still see the underground soil and rock layers through the space walls of the tunnel. However, as they continued to walk, he saw the ground and the remains of the ruins of Bright Moon City!

“Why are we back on the ground? Are you playing with me, kid?”

Andre roared with an angry face. His illusory right hand pinched Dave’s head again. He was so angry that he wanted to chop off Dave’s head.

Meanwhile, Dave, who was struggling in pain, sneered, “You always say that other individuals are both funny and stupid, but you are the stupidest one! You said that you know my position and determination. Did you really think that I will lead the way for you?”

Andre roared angrily, “You are courting death!”

At this moment, he no longer had any hope for Dave. He only wanted to kill him as soon as possible.

For some reason, Andre felt a shadow of Vincent from Dave!

His pride and confidence was the attitude that Andre hated the most. He absolutely could not allow a second Vincent to show off in front of him!

“Rumble!”

Just as Andre was about to kill Dave, he suddenly heard a violent sound coming from the tunnel. It was as if there was something huge rolling over.

Andre turned his head to the side in a daze. He saw that a space door had suddenly opened beside him, and the person who appeared in front of him was Vincent who was holding a token!

“I’ve finally arrived!”

Vincent could not help but smile and sigh when he saw Andre. He then flashed and appeared in front of Dave.

“How is it? Are you alright?” asked Vincent.

Dave was clear of his current situation. There was absolutely no time for him to waste. He quickly said to Vincent, “My body is tied to his hand. If you don’t rescue me now, I might be killed by him at any time!”

“Modify and peel!” shouted Vincent.

Vincent immediately raised his hand and grabbed Dave’s arm. His modification authority began to take effect. A large amount of crystal light flowed through Vincent’s arm and into Dave’s body. It wrapped around him and formed a barrier between him and Andre.

“Go!” shouted Vincent as he pulled Dave to turn around and run.

Dave was like a piece of soap that had been soaked in water. He slid out of Andre’s hand perfectly and was pulled into the depths of the tunnel by Vincent.

All of this happened in an instant. Andre had no time to react. When he wanted to catch up with Vincent, he suddenly realized that the tunnel in front of him had disappeared, leaving behind only a thick space barrier!

“Roar!”

Right at that moment, a beast-like roar came from the tunnel that Vincent had rushed into. Following that, eight eyes emitting light gradually appeared in front of Andre from within the darkness.

Only then did Andre realize that Vincent had not only come to rescue Dave, but he had also brought along an extremely terrifying monster!

The Zerg’s ten-meter-tall figure instantly appeared in front of Andre. As Vincent, whom the Zerg hated the most, had once again disappeared from its sight, the Zerg became very furious.

As the only creature in front of it was Andre, Andre naturally became the target of the Zerg’s anger. The Zerg waved its scythe-like pincers and quickly slashed at Andre.

When Andre heard the sound of its pincers cutting through the air, he knew that he was no match for the Zerg. He quickly turned around and ran toward the tunnel behind him. At the same time, he thought of a way to deal with it.

However, after thinking about it again, Andre suddenly realized that he had no way to escape from the space tunnel. He would either die in the hands of the Zerg or be trapped inside the tunnel!

“Almighty Lord Gajero, please grant me mercy and save your lost believer!”

Andre ran whilst chanting loudly, again and again. At that moment, he could only hope that the powerful Gajero could hear his chanting and help him.

In another corner of the parallel world, Vincent was checking the injuries on Dave’s body.

“Damn demon magic. Andre was prepared to kill you!”

Vincent could not help but sigh after seeing the wounds on Dave’s body.

Dave shook his head and said coldly, “I have nothing to do with him anymore. He’s a demon, and I’m an elf. It’s no surprise that he would do such cruel things to me. I just didn’t expect that the only time I didn’t listen to your instructions, the incident would cost me my life!”

Vincent shook his head and said, “Young man, don’t talk nonsense! As long as I am here, you will not die!”

Dave smiled helplessly and looked down at the wounds on his body. There was no blood flowing out from his wounds. However, his wounds were so deep that one could see his bones. There was also black mucus inside them. This was the power of the Demon Race from Andre. The black mucus was constantly eroding his body.

At that moment, Dave was able to feel that his vitality was rapidly declining. It was no different from being on the verge of death!

Dave grabbed Vincent’s hand and said with a smile, “No need to comfort me anymore. The injuries on my body are all caused by the magic of the Demon World. I believe that even you have no way to save me! But please believe me. Although I am unwilling to die here in my heart, I will not regret it at all! I know that all of this was caused by my recklessness, but I believe that even after my death, you will definitely be able to lead the elves out of the shadow of Gajero’s rule!”

Dave spoke as if he was talking about his own funeral.

Vincent shook his head again and said with a smile, “You should save these words for Lady Catherine! Moreover, the elves should be the ones dealing with the elves’ affairs. I’m not the nanny of the elves, so why should I worry so much? My current task is to bring you back in one piece!”

Vincent suddenly took out a pitch-black wine cup from his storage ring. The wine cup’s design was simple and unadorned. It also looked a bit evil and sinister, making others curious about its origin after just a glance.

Dave looked at the wine glass in Vincent’s hand and sighed in surprise, “This is an item from the Demon Race?”

He did not expect Vincent to have another item from the Demon World other than the Demon King’s Groan.

Vincent smiled slightly and said, “This is the Cup of Fate. To be precise, it should be called the Perfect Cup of Fate, and to a certain extent, it is the nemesis of the Demon Race! Right now, only this cup can save you!”

“This thing can save me?”

Dave could not help but be even more surprised.

Vincent did not continue to speak. Instead, he used his actions to prove the power of the Cup of Fate to Dave.

“Absorb!” shouted Vincent in a deep voice.

A tiny black hand stretched out from the Cup of Fate, directly penetrating into Dave’s wound. Soon, the remaining demon world energy in Dave’s body was absorbed into the cup. It then transformed it into the purest psionic energy and fed it back to Dave’s body.

“The Cup of Fate can restore all the abilities of the black hole myriad races and transform certain energies into the purest psionic energy, including all the demonic world spells. It also has many more powerful abilities!” said Vincent with a smile.

Dave suddenly felt that the injuries on his body had been alleviated. He could not help but ask in surprise, “How amazing! What other abilities does it have?”

Vincent thought for a moment and said, “How should I put it? If I were to switch levels with Andre right now, I could kill him in an instant and take his soul for my own use. However, as my level is currently level 40, I’m still unable to use such a method to deal with Andre!”

Dave breathed lightly and slowly sighed, “In that case, the Cup of Fate’s ability is far stronger than the Demon King’s Groan!”

Vincent smiled disdainfully and said, “The Demon King’s Groan is nothing…”

Just as he mentioned the Demon King’s Groan, Vincent suddenly froze, and his eyes widened in realization.

After seeing Vincent’s reaction, Dave could not help but ask, “What’s wrong with you?”

Vincent sighed softly and said, “When I was fighting with Andre, he recognized me at a glance as the person who ambushed him in Hell’s Rose. I did not show any flaws at that time, so I could not figure out how he found out. But now, it seems that he probably noticed the Demon King’s Groan on my body, which allowed him to determine my identity!”

Dave could not help but ask in surprise, “He can actually tell that you were carrying this special item accurately although you were not using it? Isn’t this ability a little too powerful?”

At this moment, Vincent could not help but recall that Andre had replaced him in controlling the spell. It was very likely that at that time, he had created some special marks on the Demon King’s Groan. This should not be a difficult matter for a demon who had a higher status than the Demon King’s Groan.

“He may not have a keen eye, but he must have some means to control the Demon King’s Groan. It seems that this special item cannot be left alone. Otherwise, it will become a hidden danger by my side sooner or later!” said Vincent calmly.

He then took off the Demon King’s Groan in his hand and casually threw it into the Cup of Fate.

“Merge!”

After Vincent shouted, the Cup of Fate instantly lit up with a dazzling light. It quickly disintegrated and devoured the Demon King’s Groan.

The Cup of Fate had the ability to devour all the flesh and blood of the Demon Race. For it to devour a piece of special equipment of the Demon Race was naturally not a problem!

When the Demon King’s Groan disappeared completely, the Cup of Fate once again underwent a change. Three tiny stars suddenly appeared on the body of the cup. It seemed to symbolized the three demon world spells that came along with the Demon King’s Groan. It also meant that the Cup of Fate had inherited three demon world spells!

However, if it was used to deal with a demon like Andre, the demon world spells will not be of much use. Instead, it would become a danger that would backfire on him at any moment. Therefore, Vincent did not feel excited about the evolution of the cup. He simply put it away and took out the advanced healing medicine from his storage ring and began to treat the injuries on Dave’s body.

The effects of the top-grade medicine from the capital of Ultimate Evil were extraordinary as usual. Dave was very surprised to find that the injuries on his body had begun to heal. He believed that it would not be long before he recovered to his peak condition.

Dave could not help but sigh, “Your medicine is very magical. Such a rapid healing effect is something that I have never seen before!”

Vincent shook his head and said, “This is not the medicine that I brought. It is brought from a very chaotic and very interesting world!”

Dave continued to ask, “Where?”

Vincent thought for a moment and said, “Have you ever thought that my strength could at most defeat a city lord or an apostle? However, I am planning to overthrow the rule of the entire Elf Race. As such, I would have to face countless city lords, twelve apostles, and the demon soldiers guarding the Imperial City! Do you know where did my confidence come from?”

Dave looked at Vincent with a blank face and tried to reply, “It is because you have a talent that ordinary individuals can not match. At the same time, you also have unwavering perseverance. I believe that as long as you keep working hard, you will definitely be able to overthrow the Demon Race!”

Vincent shook his head and said, “Let’s just talk about this kind of thing normally. Whoever believes that perseverance and hard work alone can resist the Demon Race is a big fool! The reason why I am not afraid to stay in Elf World and why I am so determined to fight against the demon forces here is because there are still others who hate Gajero in the Black Hole. They are all gathered in a world called the capital of Ultimate Evil! I did something to make them very angry. Before I entered the Elf World, I exposed my whereabouts to the capital of Ultimate Evil so I believe that those creatures will come to find me here sooner or later. When they do come, they will find the aura of the Demon Race here and forget about their hatred for me for the time being. They will then proceed to clean up the Demon Race instead!”

Dave looked at Vincent in surprise. After a long silence, he asked, “The medicine you gave me just now was obtained from the capital of Ultimate Evil?”

Vincent nodded and sighed, “Yes!”

Dave could not help but suck in a breath of cold air and said, “Just from the effects of these medicines, it is not difficult to determine that the capital of Ultimate Evil is a very powerful world. However, isn’t your idea of attracting one enemy to deal with another a little too crazy?”

Vincent smiled slightly and said, “This is not considered crazy. Being able to control your own ability skillfully is just the beginning of becoming a strong person. When you can easily control your opponent and enemy, then you will become a truly strong person!”
