Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 533: Strongest Prey, the Trap Had Worked

Chapter 533: Strongest Prey, the Trap Had Worked

"Vincent!"

Angelina, who was supporting Avril, could not help but look worried when Vincent said he could not return to the Human Race.

Vincent said to the crowd with a helpless expression, "Currently, we are not sure what kind of effect the incantation on my body has. Therefore, we must not bring this kind of danger into the Human Race. The restriction on Black Hole Zero has been temporarily lifted. In 24 hours, cultivators of any level can freely enter the Human World. If the demons follow me to this place, the Human Race will face endless catastrophe! Therefore, Kurt and I, who have encountered the demons, must temporarily stay away from the Black Hole of the Human Race. We must then find a way to remove the curse on our bodies!"

Angelina immediately said, "Then I'll go with you!"

Vincent shook his head and refused her.

"No! Avril needs someone to take care of her. The others don't understand the Human Race at all, so you must stay behind and lead everyone back to the Human Race. Also, immediately organize a defense to deal with the possibility of any danger!"

Angelina listened to Vincent's order, her eyes full of reluctance. However, at the same time, she could not refuse because her sister and the Human Race needed her. Therefore, she could only let Vincent take the risk alone.

Angelina sighed and said to Vincent reluctantly, "You must be careful!"

Vincent walked forward and kissed Angelina and Avril's foreheads. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will return to the Human Race safely! Take the materials I collected back first. Then, ask Lilis and Janos to use them to improve the Human Race and wait for my return!"

The two women nodded solemnly when they heard Vincent's instructions. They raised their hands and took the storage rings from Vincent.

Vincent retracted his gaze and turned to Kurt. He said, "Let's go!"

Kurt turned to look at the Black Hole that was right in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he followed Vincent and left.

Travelling to the Human World was the final mission in Kurt's list of programs. As long as he completed this mission, he would be able to have absolute freedom, and his mind would only be under his control. However, he also knew that Vincent's worry was very reasonable.

After spending so much time together, he still respected Vincent from the bottom of his heart. Even though he was a robot, Kurt respected Vincent's determination to protect the Human Race.

Therefore, Kurt would rather give up on the final mission and his freedom to continue to help Vincent!

As Vincent and Kurt slowly walked into the depth of the Black Hole World, their figures gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Angelina knew that Vincent was sacrificing himself to buy time for humans. Therefore, she especially cherished this opportunity. She immediately told the others, "Everybody, hurry up and enter the Human World with me!"

Lilis and Janos nodded repeatedly. Under the leaders.h.i.+p of Avril and Angelina, they entered Black Hole Zero and disappeared.

Not long after they left, 5,000 demons silently arrived in front of the Black Hole. The one who was standing in front was Benson, who had temporarily taken over the 1st Corps!

Benson held his staff on his left hand and slowly opened his five fingers on his right hand. At the same time, an illusionary round ball of light gradually expanded from his palm. There were two glittering light spots on the ball of light.

Benson muttered to himself while looking at the ball of light, "Those two guys were here for a long period of time. Now, they are moving forward."

He then turned around and asked his subordinate beside him, "What world is this?"

One of the demons took out an electronic device from his waist. After fiddling with the b.u.t.tons for a while, he replied, "Reporting, deputy commander! We're currently in the C92 region of the Black Hole World. According to the records of the Demon Race in the past, there's an unexplored Black Hole around us. It seems to be connected to the same world. Even race leader Gajero was unable to break the restrictions attached to the Black Hole! There is also a world marked with the danger level S of the Phantom Race. That race was very strange, and their strength could not be specifically defined. Even our race leader was very wary of them. Hence, these two worlds became worlds that the Demon Race had not successfully conquered back then!"

Benson nodded and asked, "Other than that, is there anything else worth paying attention to?"

The demon soon pointed at the path ahead and said softly, "Follow this direction and you will reach the Black Hole that leads to the Beast Race!"

Benson narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have found the answer that he wanted. He said in a deep voice, "It seems that those two fellows are heading to the Beast Race! Coincidentally, Chief Gajero is still brooding over the betrayal of the Beast Race. We can help the chief deal with two huge problems at the same time!"

When the demon officer heard this, he could not help but ask, "Does the deputy commander think that they are members of the Beast Race?"

Benson nodded and said with certainty, "They are heading in the direction of the Black Hole. However, they will also pa.s.s through the Phantom Race's Black Hole. Thus, we are unable to determine their specific ident.i.ties for the time being. However, I believe that the possibility of them being related to the Beast Race is greater. This is because in this area that is filled with low-level creatures, it is impossible for two races to resist the Demon Race at the same time. Everyone, speed up with me and let's strive to identify those two figures as soon as possible!"

The demon officer immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, sir!"

He then turned around and gestured to the army behind him to speed up.

All the members of the 1st Corps were above level 70. Therefore, it would be very difficult for any living being to escape their pursuit. In addition, under Benson's lead, the 1st Corps was like a rapidly moving black cloud. They charged into the depths of the Black Hole World. At the same time, they were far away from Black Hole Zero of the Human Race.

On the other side, Vincent, who was good at speed, brought Kurt to the Black Hole of the Beast Race.

Vincent could still vaguely remember the scenery there, but it no longer looked like the same Black Hole that symbolized disaster in the past.

Kurt looked at Vincent who was about to sit down and asked with a puzzled look, "Mr. Vincent, are we not running anymore?"

Vincent nodded and said with a smile, "In terms of speed, how could the two of us compete with the 1st Corps? Besides, it's not my style to run. Do you know what's the best way for a prey to avoid being hunted?"

After thinking for a while, Kurt said, "A crafty rabbit has three burrows! Prepare more hiding places and shake off the hunters. That way, the prey will be safe!"

Vincent shook his head and said, "Wrong! The best way to avoid the hunt is to turn around and kill the hunters. Only then will the prey be truly safe!"

Kurt could not help but nod his head. He was currently in the stage of continuous learning, and Vincent's theory was effective in helping him acc.u.mulate data.

Vincent was recognized as a wise man by the Esville Race. Kurt also wanted to have the same thinking as Vincent. Therefore, this was the best time for him to acc.u.mulate data!

"Then what should we do next? Do we turn around and kill the 1st Corps?" asked Kurt.

Vincent nodded and said, "We want to kill the 1st Corps, but we can't do it recklessly. This is because we do not have enough strength to deal with such a powerful opponent. Therefore, we have to resort to underhanded tactics. We have to use surprise attacks to hara.s.s the opponent. We have to find the right time to suddenly attack and distract the opponent's attention. By doing that, we can slowly exhaust the opponent!"

Kurt listened to Vincent's strategy. He looked very confused. Obviously, he could not understand Vincent's high-level thinking.

Vincent saw that Kurt was eager to learn. However, Kurt could not understand no matter how Vincent explained it to him.

Vincent could not help but smile at him. He said, "You don't need to understand what I'm saying immediately. As long as we do some actual operations, you can understand what I'm saying through my actions!"

Kurt immediately nodded and said, "That's good. Tell me what to do, and I'll carry it out immediately!"

Vincent was not in a hurry to a.s.sign tasks to Kurt. Instead, he took out a notebook from his storage ring. While flipping through it, he said, "This is the array notebook that Lilis has kept for many years. Not only does it record the arrays commonly used by the Beast Race, but it also records some of the other arrays that she had collected and learned during her travels in the Black Hole World. There are some that we can use. Help me set them up!"

Kurt nodded and said, "Alright!"

Vincent then took out a bunch of materials and handed them to Kurt. He then asked Kurt to place them in the designated positions. He then began to set up the array according to the notes.

Vincent did not have much confidence in building the array. However, he just wanted to try it out and pa.s.s the time. After all, he had never succeeded in setting up an array before!

If the array worked, that would naturally be good. However, if he failed, Vincent still had other ways to remedy it.

Vincent had been patiently studying Lilis's notes for the past few days and had indeed gained quite a lot from it. He had also gained a new understanding of the array especially the foundation that Lilis had been emphasizing all along. Vincent had a complete understanding of it. When he built the array, he realized that he had twice the result with only half the effort.

Vincent first took out some high-level items that were filled with spirituality to be used as the energy source of the array. He pieced them together on the ground to build the shape of the array. He then began to use his psionic power to connect each item to each other, gradually forming the foundation of the array.

Kurt had also followed Vincent's instructions and placed the materials in their designated positions. These positions corresponded to the array that Vincent had set up. Before it was activated, it was already flas.h.i.+ng with a bright light. It seemed to have become one with the array.

Vincent could not help but sigh excitedly, "I've finally succeeded!"

The base of the array was the key to maintaining the operation of an array. However, what determined the power and use of the array was the array core that was used.

Only when the array core was activated would the array possess true power!

In the past, Vincent had failed every time he set up the base of the array. However, this time, he succeeded. As long as it was successfully activated, the array would be able to operate on its own. At the same time, it also meant that Vincent had successfully advanced to become an array master!

Kurt returned to Vincent's side and quickly said, "Mr. Vincent, everything has been set up according to your request!"

At the same time, he could not wait to see Vincent's next move.

Vincent did not delay in the slightest. He simply raised his hand and pointed at the array. Large amounts of psionic power surged out of his body, like water pillars. They surged toward the various array cores.

"Weng!"

All the array cores were activated at the same time. Dark purple light pillars shot into the sky. Following that, the entire array began to gradually fade. In the end, only a pitch-black light screen was left on the spot, just like the entrance of an ordinary Black Hole.

Kurt looked at the fake Black Hole in front of him and asked thoughtfully, "Is this a trap in disguise?"

Vincent nodded and said, "That's right. Not only do hunters set traps during hunting, but sometimes, in order to protect themselves, the prey can also set traps to deceive the hunter. As for who is better, it depends on whose trap is the first to work!"

Kurt blinked his eyes and said softly, "I seem to have some understanding of the plan! You are changing the ident.i.ty of the prey and the hunter skilfully. Everything that you have done so far will be beneficial to our side. Is that right?"

Vincent smiled and said to Kurt, "Smart! That's what I mean, but now we still need to wait for the final result!"

He then turned around and stood under the Black Hole. He looked in the direction he came from.

At the same time, not far from Vincent and Kurt, in the canyon between two high mountains, Benson was leading the 1st Corps to hurry. They wanted to find Vincent's position.

However, they could only see Vincent's approximate position through the light ball in his hand. He estimated that he would be able to see Vincent once he turned the corner.

"Everyone, continue to speed up. It has been a long time since the two of them changed their positions. It looks like they have stopped to rest. This is our best chance!"

Benson looked at the ball of light in his hand as he urged his subordinates behind him.

All the demon soldiers could not help but have high spirits when they heard this. They followed closely behind Benson. This was because this battle not only concerned the honor of the 1st Corps, but also the old grudge in the heart of their Chief Gajero, as well as General Gaia's position in his heart.

Just as the 1st Corps successfully reached the exit of the canyon, a flame suddenly exploded in the air. Twelve flaming wings slowly emerged from the flames. A transparent figure soon flew above the 1st Corps.

Benson raised his head and stared at the figure in the sky. He shouted in surprise, "Who's playing tricks?"

As the only demon priest who had mastered the black magic, Benson naturally had the ability to sense the surroundings and see through all disguises. However, he could not sense the invisible figure above his head at all. This made him feel a trace of fear.

This was because ever since he started practicing black magic, Benson had never met an opponent who could ignore black magic except for Gajero. However, this individual in front of him was able to do so.

At this time, the invisible figure in the sky slowly raised its arm under the background of the flames and made a movement like he was waving a knife.

"Boom!"

A fire giant instantly condensed in the sky. It looked down at the 1st Corps as if it was a G.o.d. It raised its arm and condensed a huge long knife, slas.h.i.+ng at the ground fiercely.

"Everyone, get ready to defend!"

Benson roared and raised his staff at the same time, creating an amethyst-like defensive layer above his head. It gradually spread to the sky above the entire 1st Corps.

The other soldiers chose to form groups of 50. They proceeded to form a hexagram pattern. At the same time, they activated the demonic aura in their bodies to create a black barrier under the protection of the amethyst.

This was the battle formation that the 1st Corps was famous for in countless battles. As for the black magic resistance, at least 50 demons could form the array. They could gather the energy of each member and block an attack that was ten times more powerful.

Under the joint efforts of the soldiers of the 1st Corps, their black magic resistance could even withstand the full force attack of Gajero for ten whole minutes!

When facing the strange and unknown figure that suddenly appeared in the air, the 1st Corps did not hold back and used all of their strength.

When the fire giant's attack landed and touched the outermost layer of the amethyst barrier, the endless flames suddenly dissipated like an illusory bubble.

When Benson saw this, he could not help but frown again. This was because he did not expect the fire giant that had such an astonis.h.i.+ng momentum would be so weak that it could not even break through the defensive barrier that he built. For a moment, he could not comprehend the purpose of the figure appearing.

At that moment, Vincent, who was guarding the array, suddenly frowned. He said seriously in a low voice, "They have already arrived. The Shadow of Desolation that I left in advance has already sent out a warning to me. Now, it's time to watch the performance!"

Kurt nodded with some excitement and said, "I can't wait for the show!"

Vincent waved his hand and opened a s.p.a.ce door in front of him, leading Kurt into the s.p.a.ce tunnel.

Benson, who was at a loss, suddenly realized that the mark on the light ball that had been locked onto had suddenly disappeared. He said in shock, "Not good, the target has disappeared. It seems that the fire giant above us is just a means to prevent them from being followed!"

The officer who had been following Benson immediately asked, "Deputy commander, then what should we do now?"

Benson's lips curled into a cheeky smile. He raised his staff and pointed it at the invisible figure and the fire giant in the sky. He shouted in a deep voice, "Death Ray Cannon!"

A black and purple light shot out from the top of Benson's staff and left a dark mark in the sky. The sky looked like it had been torn in half after the attack.

Under this rapid and terrifying attack, the ghostly shadow floating in the air had no room to dodge. It was completely destroyed under the bombardment of the death ray.

After casually finis.h.i.+ng off his opponent, Benson did not feel proud at all. Instead, he ordered the soldiers loudly, "Advance at full speed and leave the canyon!"

All the soldiers responded in unison, "Yes!"

They all ended their battle formation and returned to their positions. They followed Benson and quickly walked out of the canyon.

When Benson arrived at the open s.p.a.ce in his field of vision, he instantly noticed the Black Hole that was not far away. It corresponded to the position of the mark that had just disappeared!

Benson raised his staff and pointed at the Black Hole not far away as he roared with killing intent, "That should be the Black Hole that leads to the Beast Race. Looks like they have already hidden in Beast World. Everyone, get ready for battle. Follow me into Beast World and wipe out all living creatures that dare to disobey the race leader!"

"Yes!"

The 1st Corps burst out with a thunderous roar. They then followed Benson and charged into the trap that Vincent had prepared for them.
