Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

Vincent put away the Purgatory of Nature and walked in front of Kurt. He lowered his head and asked, “How is it? Can you still move?”

Kurt, whose entire body was charred black, had lost the ability to speak. He could only shake his head gently, indicating that he could no longer stand up.

Vincent sighed lightly and ended his fire spiritualization state. He bent over and carried Kurt on his shoulders. He then turned around and walked toward Serene Spring City.

It was already late at night when he returned to Serene Spring City. Vincent carried Kurt to the back of the courtyard where he lived and placed him in the guest room.

Vincent looked at Kurt and asked with concern, “Can you heal the injuries on your body? Do you need me to do anything else for you?”

Kurt shook his head again, indicating that he did not need Vincent’s help. He could take care of himself.

“That’s good. After you recover a little, you can repair your speaking function first. If you encounter any problems, just look for me. I’ll go back to my room to rest first!”

Vincent reminded him again be going back to his room to rest.

However, when Vincent lay down, he was unable to fall asleep.

Kurt must have used up a lot of materials in order to test the data. However, Vincent no longer had any Dragon Race materials in his hands. It was only a matter of time until Kurt used up all of his Dragon Race materials. At that time, he would not be able to recover for a long period of time. This was not good news for Vincent.

Vincent muttered as he lay on the bed, “I’m really starting to miss the life in the capital of Ultimate Evil!”

At that moment, he realized that the materials he had accumulated were not as much as he had imagined.

Vincent suddenly sat up abruptly and exclaimed with a shocked expression, “Oh right, I still have the remains of the ancient Zerg! That is top-grade material. When Kurt recovers, I’ll ask him if he can use it! Now, as long as I can increase my strength by a bit, I’ll be able to increase my chances of fighting the demons!”

After killing the ancient Zerg in Bright Moon City, Vincent kept its corpse. However, as he did not have a high-level craftsman by his side, he could not dispose of the corpse of the ancient Zerg for the time being. As a result, Vincent almost forgot that he still had a relatively complete set of high-grade materials. He hoped that Kurt could use it so that it would not go to waste.

After thinking of the solution, Vincent finally relaxed and lay back on his bed. He was thinking about how to fight demons and how to source more materials. He soon fell asleep.

…

In Rebirth City, Linus led his subordinates down the stairs in the tunnel. Luckily, Linus was a Fire Elf and was able to create many torches to provide light for them to move forward.

However, the deep and long stairs did not seem to have an end. The more they walked, the more nervous they felt.

Gary followed behind Linus and sighed nervously, “High Priest, we have been walking for so long. Where are we going? Is this tunnel going straight to the core of the earth?”

Linus shook his head and said, “I am not sure either. But I know that this mysterious place must be related to the twelve apostles and the demons! Maybe it is a conspiracy by them!”

Gary looked at Linus’s red hair and said worriedly, “High Priest, now that you have changed your beliefs, do you have an extreme view of the demons? Although this is a city dominated by apostles, isn’t it too far-fetched to say that the passage in the tree hole is related to the apostles and the demons?”

Linus said confidently, “It is not far-fetched at all! Although Rebirth City is full of Dark Elves, only the apostles have the ability to set up the array inside the tree hole. Even with my strength, I’m unable to destroy it! Even when I became the High Priest, I was unable to cast such a strong Demon World array. Moreover, there’s an apostle guarding the main city here. Who do you think this tree hole is related to?”

Gary nodded and said, “If that’s the case, then it could only be set up by the apostles of Rebirth City. But why did he dig a tunnel in such a remote alley? Could there be some kind of treasure underground?”

Linus, who was walking at the front, snorted and said in a deep voice, “It’s very possible! Don’t forget that the underground of our Elf Race contains the most precious treasure!”

Gary was stunned when he heard that and muttered, “Are you talking about the Origin Divine Earth?”

Linus did not say anything and continued to walk forward.

After hearing Gary’s question, the others also fell silent, but they still maintained their speed in tacit understanding and continued to move forward.

Everyone gradually forgot about the concept of time. They did not know how long they had been walking in the tunnel. When they felt hungry, they stopped to rest and ate some dry food before continuing on their journey.

When they could no longer walk, they would lie down and sleep.

After repeating the cycle a few times, they finally walked out of the long tunnel and arrived at a wide underground space.

Linus sighed softly and raised his torch to look around carefully. He found that although the space was wide, it did not seem to be man-made. Instead, it seemed to be formed naturally.

Gary looked at the empty underground and could not help but ask curiously, “Could there be a mine somewhere?”

Linus took out his bow and shot dozens of flaming arrows in all directions.

When the arrows pierced into the surrounding rock walls, the flames continued burning and lit up the entire underground space.

Linus looked around and said in a deep voice, “This should not be a mining site because the surrounding rock walls are very smooth and there are no traces of polishing. It looked like traces of water instead!”

Gary heard this and exclaimed, “Could this be the underground river channel? But why would a dignified apostle specially set up an array to protect a secret passage leading to the underground river?”

Linus frowned and said softly, “Everyone spread out and take a look around. Who knows, we might find something!”

The rest of Linus’s subordinates quickly nodded and stood in a line. They then fanned forward and checked every inch of soil under their feet.

Suddenly, the two Dark Elves at the front shouted, “High Priest, there’s a hidden well here!”

Linus immediately walked forward and saw a half-meter wide well that was hidden in the center of the flat space!

The well was dark and unfathomable. At the same time, it was constantly emitting a cold aura.

Linus made another torch and probed into the well. He found that he was unable to dispel the darkness in the well. Once the torch entered the well, it would immediately be swallowed by the darkness. It was unable to light up the well.

Gary, on the other hand, found some traces on the ground beside the well.

He quickly asked Linus, “High Priest, please lend me your torch!”

Linus did not think too much and handed his torch over to Gary casually.

Gary held the torch and lay on the ground, carefully observing the surroundings. He suddenly said in surprise, “There seem to be traces of an array being set up here! Moreover, it seems that this array has been set up multiple times, leaving behind the same traces!”

When Linus heard that, he immediately took out a piece of paper from his pocket. He said to everyone, “That’s right! I have in my hand the secret that Vincent had swindled from the demons in Imperial City! It provides that this area is under the control of the twelve apostles. Each apostle was given a mysterious coordinate and the same ritual. Now, it seems that as long as we copy the ritual, we will be able to find out what the demons and the apostles were planning!”

Gary and the others immediately retreated after hearing that. They left the well and headed toward the surrounding open space. They watched Linus as he started to construct the array according to the instructions on the blueprint.

Everyone was extremely nervous at that moment. Linus was worried about whether the array he had set up would be effective and whether it would be convincing enough to directly expose the despicable intentions of the demons. He wanted his subordinates to give up their faith on the spot.

Linus would be greatly disappointed if the effect displayed by the array was unable to convince his subordinates.

Nevertheless, Gary and the others had already accepted the fact that Linus had turned into a Fire Elf. Even if they did not give up their faith in Gajero, they were still better than the other crazy believers of Gajero. However, if Gary and the others could not be convinced, then there was no hope of convincing the other Dark Elves.

After Linus constructed the array, a black-purple light instantly appeared and condensed into a huge black palm in front of everyone.

The black palm seemed to be able to extend infinitely. It went deep into the well and continued to extend downward.

Everyone gathered around when they saw this. They looked at the palm that was growing longer and could not help but be curious. They wondered what the black palm would retrieve from the well.

Only Linus took a few steps back silently and took out the staff made of the Origin Divine Tree. The staff represented his status as the High Priest.

Suddenly, the big palm began to withdraw quickly. It looked like a long snake coming out of its hole, bringing with it waves of icy cold air.

Gary and the others endured the bone-chilling wind in their faces while they forced their eyes open. They watched as the pitch-black palm lifted up a ball of liquid that was as bright as starlight from the well.

“Plop!”

Gary and the others instantly felt something calling out to them from within their souls. Their knees went soft, and they knelt on the ground. Tears could not help but flow out of their eyes.

This was because they recognized what the black palm was holding onto. It was the Origin Divine Earth!

The array on the ground gradually transformed into a cage and trapped the black palm that was holding onto the Origin Divine Earth. It was as if it was preparing to transport it to another dimension.

“He wants to take away our Origin Divine Earth!”

Gary’s voice trembled as he roared. He wanted to stop it, but he felt powerless.

At that moment, Linus, who was standing behind everyone, raised his staff high. A fierce flame suddenly appeared and shattered the dark cage, causing the Origin Divine Earth in the black palm to scatter onto the ground. It then flowed back into the well!
