Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 555 – Attracting Trouble to the East, Forcing Independence

Lazarus rushed toward Gajero with the mentality of victory. However, he did not expect Justin's back stab to greet him at the critical moment. Gaia's attack and Hades's huge sword followed closely behind.

“Bang!”

Lazarus's back shattered powerlessly under the continuous heavy blows. However, he did not have a demon core like Gajero's. He only had the transparent liquid that belonged to the Phantom Race.

Lazarus's eyes soon became empty. The power he had accumulated to kill Gajero was gone. He stood in front of Gajero with a blank look on his face.

Both Gaia's and Hades's attacks were successful. They quickly followed Justin and retreated to Vincent's side.

“Follow me!” shouted Vincent.

He then turned to fly toward the boundary of the destruction domain. He did not choose to open a space tunnel to escape.

Although Justin had doubts about Vincent's choice, he believed that Vincent must have his own purpose for doing so. He simply flashed and returned to Vincent's body. He did not want to encounter the destructive storm that filled the destruction domain.

Hades was a creature that belonged to the Purgatory of Nature domain. As long as Vincent closed the domain, Hades would naturally disappear.

However, Gaia did not have the ability to disappear, nor could he hide in Vincent's body. He was just a puppet that followed Vincent's orders. If Vincent asked him to follow, he would not hesitate even if he was smashed to pieces.

Following that, Vincent spread his flaming wings and closed the Purgatory of Nature. He charged toward the destructive storm in front of him. His only goal at that moment was to leave Gajero's domain as quickly as possible. He also wanted to let him see the direction he had left in.

Gajero was staring at Vincent's back. He was extremely furious at him. Not only did Vincent escape from him again, but he had also taken control of his subordinate, Gaia!

Unlike Benson, Gaia was Gajero's closest confidant. At the same time, he knew many secrets that belonged to Gajero. If Gaia left with Vincent, Vincent would definitely be able to learn about the top secrets of the Demon Race from Gaia!

However, no matter how anxious Gajero was, he could not immediately catch up to Vincent because Lazarus was still standing in front of him!

Gajero looked at Lazarus and roared furiously, “Since you trusted that human named Vincent so easily, then you deserve to die!”

He then waved the long sword in his hand and directly chopped Lazarus into two halves.

The first Phantom Emperor who controlled the Phantom Race was reduced to two puddles of transparent liquid. It flowed under Gajero's feet, turned black, and rotted. Finally, it disintegrated into the air.

Gajero took a deep breath. He raised the staff in his left hand and slammed it on the ground heavily. He said with a dignified face, “In my name, I cast a curse on this world! Creatures above level 30 will slowly die in pain and torture. No one will be spared!”

At the same time, the huge cities that were hovering in the skies of the Phantom World suddenly began to disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was like sand that had been eroded by wind and frost, fluttering in the wind and disappearing into nothingness.

At the same time, the Phantoms who had been standing on the city wall also fell to the ground like shooting stars. A large number of injuries appeared on each of their bodies and they started to vomit.

What gushed out of their mouths was not blood or pus, instead, they were balls of pitch-black and rotten Phantoms.

Almost all the experts in the Phantom Race were instantly infected with a very terrifying disease. There was no cause for the disease and no way to treat it. They could not even react to it and soon died.

With a flash of fiery-red light, Vincent once again broke through the nodes of the destruction domain and rushed out. Following closely behind him was Gaia, who was only left with half of his body. Thankfully, Gaia's demon core was not damaged so he could still slowly repair his lost limbs in the future.

Vincent turned around and glanced at Gaia, who could barely keep up with him. He could not help but grit his teeth and run toward the ruins of the city wall.

Vincent shouted at Kurt through his earpiece while running, “Kurt, is the teleportation array ready? We need to move out now!”

Kurt immediately replied, “Mr. Vincent, the teleportation array is ready. We can leave this world at any time!”

Vincent quickly said, “Give me your exact location immediately. We have to hurry and escape now!”

After two seconds, Kurt replied, “Mr. Vincent, please head toward the right so that you can meet up with me!”

Vincent immediately changed his direction and used all of his speed to rush forward. He would not hesitate even if he had to leave Gaia behind.

This was because Vincent knew that before he had enough strength to defeat Gajero, he could not underestimate him given his terrifying strength. Every time he fought with him, he had to use all of his strength. The slightest bit of hesitation could lead him to eternal damnation.

Not long after Vincent ran away, the barrier of the destruction domain disappeared, and a desert suddenly appeared in the middle of the city ruins. The creature standing in the middle of the desert was Gajero. He immediately locked onto Vincent's back, and Gaia, who was running after him.

Gajero revealed a ferocious expression and shouted, “Go to hell!”

He did not look like he was moving, but he kept flying forward as if he had teleported, leaving a series of clear afterimages on the ground. It was as if numerous Gajeros had appeared at the same time.

Although Gajero's killing intent was high, his longsword was not aimed at Vincent, but at Gaia, who was running far behind Vincent.

This was because Gajero knew that killing Vincent at that moment was almost an impossible task. Instead, he was focused on protecting the secrets of the Demon Race. He had to ensure that Gaia would never have the chance to leak the Demon Race's secrets. Therefore, he could only kill his former confidant with his own hands!

Gajero had made up his mind that as long as he could kill Gaia, he would just let Vincent escape for the time being.

Meanwhile, in order to escape, Vincent had already decided to leave Gaia behind.

Although both sides seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, everything still depended on Gaia himself.

Gaia, who was being controlled by the Cosmic Threads and had undergone countless hypnosis and brainwashing, had become extremely loyal to Vincent. There was only one thing in his head at that moment, and that was to listen to Vincent's orders and follow Vincent wherever he goes. Even though his body was incomplete and he could not be compared to Vincent in terms of speed, Gaia still automatically urged the demonic aura in his body to spread continuously throughout his body, replacing his lost limbs. This allowed him to rush forward, gradually catching up to Vincent, leaving Gajero further and further behind.

“B*stard, why are you running so fast?”

Gajero looked at Gaia, who had suddenly accelerated. He could not help but curse loudly. He then began to accelerate at all costs, desperately trying to catch up to Gaia.

When Vincent arrived at the ruins of the city wall, he just happened to see Kurt sticking his head out from the ground, anxiously waiting for him to arrive.

When Kurt saw Vincent, he quickly shouted out directions to guide him, “Mr. Vincent, this way!”

Vincent rushed toward Kurt without any hesitation and followed him along the tunnel into the underground.

As Vincent had not deactivated his fire spiritualization, the underground space was brightly lit, allowing Vincent to clearly see the teleportation array that Kurt had built.

In such a short period of time, Kurt had actually built the teleportation array into the standard one of the Esville Race. He did not miss a single detail.

Vincent could not help but exclaim, “It's been hard on you. Let's leave quickly!”

Kurt nodded and led Vincent into the teleporation array. As he activated the array, he said to Vincent, “Mr. Vincent, this disk can only be used once, so I have attached a self-destruct setting on the array. As long as we complete the teleportation, the array will immediately explode. No one will be able to track our whereabouts!”

Vincent immediately shook his head and said, “Don't let it self-destruct! I want to let Gajero know where we are going next. This way, the Human World will be safe!”

Kurt thought for a moment and could not help but say, “But if we lure Gajero away, will the Phantom Race take the opportunity to attack the Human Race? I think that Gajero might not be able to find the Black Hole of the Human World anyway, so I might as well let him stay here to destroy the Phantom World!”

Vincent sighed and said helplessly, “I believe that the Phantom Race is about to be destroyed. Earlier, I realized that my body was constantly festering. Fortunately, I can rely on my fire spiritualization state to continuously recover from my injuries, or else I would have died long ago! I think that it must be Gajero who launched an indiscriminate attack on all the living beings in the Phantom World. Since I can be injured, then the other Phantoms would also be unable to escape death. Therefore, it is no longer important whether Gajero stays in this world!”

Kurt nodded after listening to Vincent's explanation. He then began to concentrate on opening the teleportation array.

At that moment, a large amount of soil suddenly fell down from the entrance of the tunnel into the underground space. A black shadow instantly fell in front of Vincent and Kurt.

“Who is that?” asked Kurt nervously.

Vincent quickly pulled Kurt back and said softly, “It's the general of the 1st Corps, Gaia. He's now under my control!”

Kurt felt relieved after hearing this. He then lowered his head and continued to work.

Vincent waved his hand at Gaia, motioning for him to teleport away with him.

Gaia did not hesitate at all as he strode to Vincent's side.

The teleportation array flashed and Vincent felt his body becoming lighter. He felt as if he was floating.

The teleportation had started!

After chasing Vincent and the others all the way to the ruins of the city wall, Gajero noticed that there was only enough space for one individual to go in and out of the hole. Therefore, he did not choose to enter immediately, as it would be too harmful to his identity as the demon king.

Gajero then raised the long sword in his hand and waved it forcefully under his feet, directly lifting up the entire ground, revealing the extremely spacious underground space and the teleportation array in operation. He also saw Vincent and the others who were standing in the array. They were about to disappear.

The moment the soil was lifted, Vincent who was in the teleportation array raised his head and met Gajero's four eyes from afar. Their eyes both emitted merciless killing intent.

As long as the two of them were unable to kill each other, they would not be able to sleep or eat in peace every single day.

They could never coexist and were fated to kill each other.

When Gajero saw a strong will in Vincent's eyes, he could not help but feel shocked. However, by the time he recovered from his shock, it was already too late. There was only an empty teleportation array in front of him. Vincent and the rest of them had long disappeared.

Gajero took a deep breath and sighed slowly, “Today, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will still kill you!”

He then jumped down and rushed straight toward the teleportation array. With the help of the light on the teleportation array that had yet to dissipate, he left the Phantom World.

With a flash of light, Vincent reappeared in a dark drainage pipe with Kurt and Gaia.

Kurt looked around with a blank face and asked curiously, “Where is this?”

Vincent took a deep breath and said slowly, “This is the underground world of the capital of Ultimate Evil. We have to be extra careful in what we do next because we are not out of danger, but have come to an even more dangerous place!”

Kurt nodded and said in a deep voice, “Then what should we do next?”

Vincent raised his hand and pointed to the corner of the passage in front of him. He said softly, “Let's leave this place first, then hide and wait!”

Kurt nodded and followed Vincent forward.

Gaia followed behind Vincent loyally. Even though his body was damaged, he did not have any complaints.

After turning a corner, Vincent immediately opened the space door and brought Kurt and Gaia into the space tunnel.

Vincent then let out a soft breath, smiled, and said in a relaxed manner, “We're finally safe. We've finally gotten rid of Gajero!”

At that moment, Justin's figure surged out from Vincent's body. He frowned and asked, “Why have you returned to the capital of Ultimate Evil?”

Vincent said with a solemn expression, “Gajero has the means to reverse time and space. As long as I open the space door in front of him, he will be able to travel back to the time when the space door was opened. Thus, we can only use the teleportation array to shake him off! However, all the coordinates recorded by Kurt were teleportation arrays used by the Esville Race to extract resources. Every teleportation array has the function of leading us to the Esville World! Therefore, I've decided to come to the capital of Ultimate Evil instead. Moreover, as long as Gajero makes it here, he will no longer have the energy to chase after us, because there is an expert here who is even stronger than us and who hates Gajero even more!”

Justin's expression suddenly became solemn. He said to Vincent with some displeasure, “Then, have you ever thought that once Gajero arrives, the Ultimate Evil Lord will definitely fight him. At that time, what will happen to the other creatures that reside in the capital of Ultimate Evil? What should we, the Vampires, do?”

Vincent did not show any signs of panic or embarrassment. This was because he had already predicted the current situation and had a very reliable solution.

“Do you believe that even the Human Race would rather die than submit? Don't you think that the Vampire Race and the other high-level races should have their self-respect to live on? We still have some time at the moment. You can immediately notify the Vampire Race, the Bards, the Feathered Monster Race, and the Evil Spirits. Tell them that the capital of Ultimate Evil is about to fall into chaos, and ask them to take the opportunity to leave this place and rebuild their own world! Fighting against the demons is not just our responsibility alone, but the responsibility of all the races in the Black Hole!”

Justin could not help but feel moved when he heard this. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

After experiencing the massacre of the demons, the Vampire Race had indeed lost their fighting spirit. Hiding in the capital of Ultimate Evil and enjoying the treatment of the nobles was the last way for them to protect their self-esteem.

Justin had once immersed himself in the life of the capital of Ultimate Evil every day, using this to numb the hatred and unwillingness in his heart.

However, after fighting side by side with Vincent whilst experiencing many dangers together, and even personally killing numerous demons, the hot blood and passion in Justin's body had long been ignited. He also wanted the Vampire Race to get excited again. He wanted them to build a brand new home of their own. Like Vincent, he wanted to do his utmost to take revenge on Gajero.

However, it would be difficult to persuade the Vampire Race without a proper and specific reason.

There were some things that were difficult to realize unless they were personally experienced!

Vincent did not give Justin and the vampires a reason. Instead, he cut off all of the vampires' escape routes, forcing them to choose to leave the capital of Ultimate Evil. He wanted them to use their own hands to fight for survival!

Justin closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He finally calmed down.

Justin said, “Give me some time. I want to go back and see the sons of the vampires!”

Vincent nodded. He then said to Justin in a serious manner, “Remember to come back! I still owe you a body and I am going to resurrect you. I will remain in the capital of Ultimate Evil and not enter the space tunnel. I guarantee that you will be able to return to my body when you are ready. And I promise you, as long as you don't return, I will never leave the capital of Ultimate Evil!”

Justin believed in Vincent's promise and said solemnly, “Don't worry, I still haven't settled the score with you, kid! I definitely won't be gone forever!”

At that moment, Vincent and the others suddenly realized that the light outside had dimmed a little. They could no longer see any light through the space barrier. Even the outline of the underground sewer had completely disappeared.

“Gajero, he's here!” sighed Vincent.

“Boom!”

A pillar of light filled with destructive aura instantly broke through the surface of the capital of Ultimate Evil.

Gajero's figure immediately floated above the capital of Ultimate Evil.. He looked down at the unfamiliar world below and shouted, “Vincent, get the hell out here!”
