Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 537 – Most Powerful Opponent, Slaughtering Demons Together

When facing Vincent's determination, Benson's earnest and expectant expression suddenly turned cold as killing intent gradually appeared in his eyes.

Benson looked at Vincent and said coldly, “I advise you to think about it carefully. Only by agreeing to my proposal can you survive and gain benefits from the demon princess. Otherwise, how could you bring me into this space with your weak strength? It is only because I am taking the initiative to cooperate!”

After seeing Benson repeatedly offering to give her to Vincent in exchange for the Cup of Augustus, Alexia finally could not help but question, “Benson, you're crazy! You actually want to betray me. Father will not let you off if he finds out!”

Benson turned to look at Alexia. He revealed a cold smile and said disdainfully, “Do you really think that you are a demon princess? Gajero has always doted on you because he has taken a fancy to your Immortal bloodline. If someone were to get your Immortal bloodline first, you would become trash in Gajero's eyes!”

Alexia's face instantly turned cold. Her understanding and sympathy for Benson had completely disappeared. Only endless hatred remained in her heart. She did not believe Benson's words. She was only angry because Benson had slandered Gajero!

Vincent looked at Benson, who had nothing to fear, and gently raised his hand to signal Justin not to make a move. He asked in a deep voice, “You followed me all the way here to find the Cup of Augustus, but how did you know it was in my hands?”

Benson saw that Vincent seemed to still have the intention to negotiate with him, so he said, “Because I restored the scene of you controlling the 26th Corps and slaughtering the 24th Corps. I also saw you taking Alexia away. And I can clearly see that the thing you used to refine the aura of the Demon World was the Cup of Augustus!”

Vincent nodded and said with a smile, “Good eyesight and good means! It seems that black magic is indeed powerful. But since you want to trade with me, you should show some sincerity. You can't hide anything from me!”

Benson's face could not help but tense up. He frowned and said, “Hide? When did I lie? You don't have to use such words to test me. I've seen this kind of trick many times!”

Vincent shook his head and said with a smile, “Coincidentally, I've also seen many people who lie, so your lies can't deceive me at all. The true purpose of your heart can't deceive me either! You mentioned that you want the Cup of Augustus to commemorate your ancestors. It's true, but you also said that you are prepared to bury this equipment with Augustus. This is 100% a lie. You must have something else in mind, am I right?”

After hearing what Vincent said, not only was Benson shocked, even Justin and Alexia were speechless.

This was because what Benson said earlier sounded sincere and worthy of sympathy. No one would have thought that there were so many schemes behind his words.

However, after being exposed by Vincent, Justin and Alexia recalled Benson's previous performance and could not help but feel that what Vincent said made sense.

Even if he wanted to take back the Cup of Augustus to pay tribute to his former teacher, he would not use the sacred item that had been refined as a burial object.

When they first heard this statement, they could not help but feel admiration for him. However, after thinking about it carefully, they found that it was full of loopholes.

Benson looked at Vincent and said coldly, “Very good. You are smarter than all the opponents I have met. Unfortunately, you are too smart. I wouldn't dare to let you live any longer!”

Benson no longer brought up the deal. His eyes were filled with killing intent instead.

This was because Benson understood that Vincent had no intention of making a deal with him. Therefore, there was no point in talking anymore. If he wanted to achieve his own goal, he could only kill everyone in front of him. He could then take the treasure and eliminate future troubles at the same time!

Vincent did not care about Benson's threat. He turned to Justin and said, “He is so obsessed with the Cup of Augustus, why do you think this cup is so important to him?”

Although Justin did not have Vincent's great judgment, he was not an idiot. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly understood.

Justin smiled and looked at Benson with a teasing look as he said, “He is the last High Priest of the Demon Race who had mastered the Black Magic Arcana spell. He also claims to be a disciple of Augustus. Perhaps the Black Magic Arcana spell he mastered is not complete, and the missing part is in the Cup of Augustus!”

Benson felt awkward after being exposed. The hatred of being humiliated in his heart had also turned into anger. He wanted to kill these two opponents who were like ants in his eyes.

Benson roared furiously, “Since you don't want to listen to my kind words, then you can all go to hell!”

He then knocked the staff in his hand heavily, and a dark purple light instantly began to gather at the top of the staff.

“Feast of Death Rays!” shouted Benson.

Several death rays began to spread in all directions. They rotated irregularly and attacked the surroundings indiscriminately.

Although Vincent was not afraid of death, he also knew his own limits. He did not choose to take Benson's spell head-on. Instead, he dodged and hid behind Justin.

Justin raised both of his hands and shouted with all of his strength, “Life Guard!”

A shield formed by faint blood mist instantly appeared in front of him, protecting him and Vincent firmly.

When the death ray swept past the blood shield, black smoke instantly rose from the burnt blood mist. Justin focused all of his attention on the power of laws in order to maintain the blood shield. He was trying his best to keep Vincent and himself safe.

The most awkward one there was the demon princess, Alexia. Her level was the same as Vincent's, and her skills were far less powerful than Vincent's. She suddenly found herself in Benson's attack range. She was so shocked that she forgot to dodge.

The black magic was completely different from the magic of the Demon Race. If a demon was hit by the magic of the Demon World cast by their companions, they would not be hurt.

However, the Black Magic Arcana was different. Whether it was the demons or other races, they would not be able to resist the huge damage that it caused.

Justin could tell that Alexia was about to die under the death ray. He immediately reminded Vincent, “Kid, save that girl!”

Vincent carefully poked half of his head out from behind Justin and saw that Alexia was in danger. He quickly thought of the tunnel token in his hand and waved it gently.

Just as Alexia was about to be cut into pieces by the death ray, the platform under her feet suddenly began to move and she began to teleport. When Alexia regained her sight again, she found herself behind Vincent and Justin.

Alexia felt extremely conflicted. This was because the clansmen that she saw as her compatriots wanted to kill her, and Vincent, whom she saw as an enemy who she cursed incessantly, had saved her at a critical moment. The relationship between them was simply too contradictory.

“Kid, if this continues, I won't be able to hold on. You have to think of a way quickly!”

Justin realized that he could not hold on any longer, so he quickly urged Vincent.

“Alright, let me do it!”

Vincent suddenly roared and came out from behind Justin. A pitch-black wine glass appeared in his hand. It was the treasure, the Cup of Fate, which Vincent had refined continuously using the Cup of Augustus as the raw material!

Every death ray that shot toward Vincent would be devoured by the Cup of Fate. It would then later be disintegrated into the purest psionic power to be stored in the cup.

Benson's eyes immediately shone with golden light when he saw the holy item that he had been longing for.

However, a trace of doubt soon flashed in Benson's eyes. He soon became confused.

He questioned Vincent angrily, “B*stard, this is not the Cup of Augustus from the past. You have used other methods to refine it!”

Vincent nodded and said with a sneer, “That's right! This treasure of mine is no longer the Cup of Augustus. It is now the most effective equipment for me to slaughter demons. You should be proud today. I have prepared a few more powerful treasures for you!”

Just as Vincent spoke, the space in front of him suddenly flashed, and a huge cocoon appeared in front of Vincent. It was one of the three great treasures of the Demon Race, the Cosmic Threads!

Vincent raised his left hand and grabbed onto the Cosmic Threads. His right hand was holding the Cup of Fate. Vincent said to Benson with a smug expression, “To be able to face the attack of two Demon Race treasures at the same time, you can be considered lucky in three lifetimes!”

Under Vincent's control, a transparent silk thread shot into the sky and descended from the sky stealthily and swiftly. It flew straight toward Benson's neck.

Vincent's plan was amazing. As long as the Cosmic Threads could control Benson, Vincent would have a level 80 puppet, and his safety would be greatly enhanced. He would not have to trouble Justin to do everything himself in the future.

Moreover, Vincent could also share the memory and knowledge in the puppet's mind. Perhaps even the secret of the Black Magic Arcana would be at his fingertips!

However, just as the transparent thread was about to land on Benson's head, Benson suddenly took out a codex that was large enough to be used as a shield.

“Black Magic Arcana Evasion!” shouted Benson in a deep voice.

A faint stream of light followed the codex in his hand and gradually wrapped around his entire body.

The thread that fell from the sky was repelled instantly after encountering the stream of light on Benson's body. It was simply unable to get close to Benson.

Vincent had never thought that the Cosmic Threads would miss Benson. The Cosmic Threads had never failed before. His heart was instantly filled with helplessness because this was his greatest plan. However, Benson destroyed it before he could even start.

“Don't assume that just because the Cosmic Thread is a treasure of the Demon Race, it can subdue all demons! To tell you the truth, all the higher-ups of the Demon Race general level and above all understand how to use the Cosmic Threads and how to deal with it. You must be dreaming if you want to use the Cosmic Threads to control me!” said Benson to Vincent with a smug expression, his eyes filled with killing intent.

A foreign race that could control the Demon Race's greatest treasure was simply too dangerous!

Although Vincent did not display much strength, Benson knew he had talent. If given enough time, his future achievements might surpass Gajero and he might become the strongest creature in the universe other than the God Race. He might even have the chance to become a God and become the highest-level existence among the 10,000 races of the Black Hole!

Vincent could not help but turn his head to look at Alexia after hearing Benson's confident tone.

They were both high-level generals. Benson was only a deputy commander and he could already evade the control of the Cosmic Threads. However, as a general of the 24th Corps, how could Alexia be controlled by the Cosmic Threads so easily?

When Alexia noticed Vincent's gaze, she could not help but say, “Why are you looking at me? My strength is almost the same as yours. I can't defend against the Cosmic Threads that you control, but he is different! Moreover, he has the mysterious Black Magic Arcana with him so it's not difficult for him to dodge the Cosmic Threads!”

Vincent took a deep breath and turned to look at Benson. He said helplessly, “It seems that there's no other way now. I can only take a gamble and see if I can get rid of this scourge!”

After saying that, Vincent instantly rushed forward and drew the Return Journey of the Dead from his waist. He quickly slashed at Benson's throat.

Benson had displayed the fighting style of a priest. However, Vincent, who never admitted defeat, wanted to gamble that he did not have close combat ability!

Fighting with weapons, a competition of skills and strength, was simply a mage's nightmare. Vincent believed that Benson would not be able to handle the next battle.

However, Benson did not panic at all. He raised his staff again and shouted in a deep voice, “Black Magic Arcana dispel!”

A black-purple light quickly spread out from Benson's body, forming an invincible force that sent Vincent flying into the air.

Justin did not hesitate at all when he saw this. He did not intend to slack off. What he had been waiting for was a suitable opportunity to attack Benson!

Benson's attention was completely focused on Vincent. He needed to be wary of the Cosmic Threads as well as the sharp blade in Vincent's hand. This in turn, greatly reduced his own strength and concentration.

Justin saw the opportunity and instantly rushed in front of Benson. Before he could react, he raised his hand and threw out many law chains, binding Benson's entire body. He then began to absorb his life force.

Justin shouted at Vincent, “Kid, I've already controlled him. Under the restriction of the blood law, he can't use his full strength. You must hurry!”

Vincent was aware of Justin's abilities. Naturally, he would not let go of such a rare opportunity.

“Purgatory of Nature!”

As Vincent waved his sword, the surrounding space immediately changed. The space that belonged solely to Vincent appeared once again. Hades, who had been waiting on the spot, finally met his target. He immediately waved the huge sword in his hand and slashed at Benson's back.

Benson instinctively dodged forward. However, Justin's law chains bound his body tightly, making it impossible for him to move.

Hades slashed his lava greatsword at Benson's head.

“Dong!”

Although Benson was not given any time to respond, he still managed to use his physical strength to forcefully withstand Hades's sword. He stood unharmed on the spot and looked over at Vincent coldly. His strength was beyond Vincent's expectations.

“Vincent, quickly leave, I can't hold him back any longer!” shouted Justin while gritting his teeth and holding onto the law chains. He was trying to buy as much time as possible for Vincent to escape.

However, everyone was currently in the space tunnel. Where could Vincent hide?

Vincent looked at Justin, who was struggling to hold on. He then looked at Benson, who was gradually breaking free from his restraints. Although it was extremely difficult to kill a level 80 creature, Vincent was still unwilling to give up this rare opportunity. He would rather fight to the death than retreat!

“Today, even if I have to use all of my strength, I will still kill this demon. I will not retreat in the slightest!” shouted Vincent with a determined look on his face. At the same time, he activated his fire spiritualization state. He soon spread his twelve flaming wings, and streams of divine flames descended from above. The divine flame spark between his brows faintly pulsated. It symbolized the power within his body that was gradually surging.

At that moment, Vincent, who had already transformed into flames, became even more holy and majestic under the double amplification of the full modification authority and the flame laws.

At the same time, the flames on Vincent's body began to expand continuously, forming a brand-new Fire God Avatar.

In the past, the Fire God Avatar was not connected to Vincent's body. The Fire God Avatar and Vincent had always maintained a tacit understanding in battle. However, the Fire God Avatar that Vincent summoned at that moment had fused with his body, strengthening his own offensive methods!

However, as this battle method was rather new, the Fire God Avatar was relatively slow to form. It would still take some time before it could be completed.

Justin, on the other hand, was almost unable to hold on any longer. Benson, whose entire body was bound by the law chains, looked at Justin, who was at the end of his rope. He sneered and said, “The most powerful aspect of the Black Magic Arcana spell is that it can bestow the practitioner with an extremely powerful arcana body. Even the attacks of masters of the same level can be ignored by me. Both of you are so weak! It is impossible for you to break through my defense! When I get out of here, I'll definitely torture the two of you to death!”

Justin did not respond to him. He just gritted his teeth and persevered silently. As Vincent wanted to continue fighting, he could only risk his life to accompany that gentleman. After all, it was not like he had never died before. At worst, he could just die again!

At the critical moment, a pitch-black figure flashed through the Purgatory of Nature in an instant. It directly passed by Vincent and Justin and appeared behind Benson.

“Puff!”

A black-light sword instantly pierced through Benson's body, making Benson widen his eyes in disbelief. He looked at the half-light sword that pierced through his chest.

Alexia suddenly said, “Do you really think that the Black Magic Arcana is invincible? Don't forget how Augustus died! You traitor of the Demon Race, I'll send you to meet Augustus today!”
