Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

“What do you want to do? Do you still want to assassinate Benson?”

After listening to the conversation between Vincent and Justin, Alexia quickly stepped forward and said resolutely, “I will never let you kill another demon!”

Justin turned to look at Vincent with a blank look and said softly, “Why is she so brave all of a sudden?”

Vincent looked at Alexia and said with a smile, “You have the Cosmic Thread on your body now. You should help us kill Benson. Otherwise, aren’t you afraid that I will directly control you?”

Alexia was not afraid. She said with a determined look, “The Black Magic Arcana is the oldest ability of the Demon Race. It must be preserved. If anything happens to Benson, the Demon Race will lose everything that they have preserved. I will not let you hurt him no matter what. Even if you use the Cosmic Thread to control him, I will not hesitate!”

Justin and Vincent looked at each other with a smirk on their faces when they saw how determined Alexia was.

Vincent said with a smile, “The demon’s treasure, Black Magic Arcana. If we kill Benson, Gajero will be very angry, right?”

Justin nodded and said in a deep voice, “Gajero will be more than angry. If we can control this demon priest using your ability, you might be able to find out the secret of the Black Magic Arcana spell! When you find the treasure of the Demon Race, you will definitely anger Gajero to death!”

Alexia was stunned on the spot when she heard that. She did not expect the two people in front of her to be so shameless. Not only did her reason to protect Benson fail to convince them, but it also stimulated their greed!

Vincent ignored Alexia, rubbed his chin, and sighed, “In that case, we need to modify the battle plan. First, we need to control Benson, then we need to think of a way to get him to spill the secret of the Black Magic Arcana!”

Justin asked with interest, “What are you thinking of now?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “I haven’t thought about it yet, but we should act first and not give the 1st Corps any time to rest. Then, we can adapt to the situation. You just need to pay attention and cooperate with me!”

Justin did not ask further. He just nodded and accepted the arrangement.

After a long period of time, the two of them had experienced many life-and-death battles together. Justin had a full understanding of Vincent’s combat habits and his creativity in battle. He believed that he could always keep up with Vincent’s pace.

Vincent did not hesitate at all. He immediately opened the space door and charged toward the 1st Corps.

Justin glanced at Alexia and gave her a warning look before flying out together with Vincent.

As the 1st Corps was still in the illusory array, none of the demon soldiers could see Vincent and Justin who were closing in on them. They did not know what was going to happen next.

In the illusory world of the Beast Race, Benson was listening to his subordinates’ reports on finding Abu Solon. He was gradually becoming upset.

Benson gripped his magic staff tightly and roared with an angry expression, “Until now, we still haven’t found Abu Solon’s whereabouts. Could it be that he has already disappeared from this world? The person who attacked us just now was only around level 50. How could he have such an ability?”

All the demon soldiers lowered their heads and did not say a word. This was because if there was no accurate answer, the inferior soldiers could not casually answer the questions of a superior. Silence was the greatest respect for their superior.

Benson was furious to the extreme. However, he suddenly calmed down when he unintentionally looked at the endless plain. He noticed that the beast army was still gathering.

Benson frowned and sighed, “Why is the beast army still busy gathering? Earlier, they were charging at us. However, right now, they are keeping a distance from us… What on Earth are they doing?”

When the demon soldiers heard this, they could not help but turn their heads to look at the beast camp. They said with some surprise, “Just now, we also tried to approach the beast camp, but it seems that no matter how much we walk, they were always far away!”

When Benson heard this, he was greatly shocked and suddenly exclaimed, “This is not Beast World at all, but an illusion array!”

When the demon soldiers heard this, they all looked around in disbelief. It was not that they had never seen an illusion array before, but they had never seen such a realistic one. They could not accept it for a moment.

Benson said with certainty, “That guy definitely has a close relationship with the beasts. That is why he was able to set up a perfect illusion. At the same time, our expectations were in line with his arrangement which caused us to not be able to discover his tricks in time! This also explains why he could suddenly appear and disappear in front of us even though his strength isn’t high. That’s because he can freely enter and exit the array. The reason why you couldn’t find Abu Solon was because he had left the illusion array!”

After hearing Benson’s analysis, everyone revealed an enlightened expression. They could not help but nod their heads in admiration.

In the 1st Corps, the one with the highest battle strength was naturally General Gaia, who was known as a think tank. It was Benson who oversaw strategizing. Therefore, the soldiers had accepted his explanation out of habit.

After that, Benson ordered, “Call everyone to return to their positions and set up the Heavenly Demon Array to break through this illusion array!”

All the soldiers immediately responded in unison, “Yes!”

They then dispersed to gather their subordinates and lined up accordingly.

The moment the 5,000-man army assembled, a streak of black and purple light shot into the sky, emitting an invisible might.

The Heavenly Demon Array was the basic array formation that every demon had to cultivate. All the demon soldiers knew how to set up the array, and they were able to find their positions at the first moment.

As long as the Heavenly Demon Array was formed, it would magnify the power, aura, and pressure of the demons. Moreover, when the demons continued to release their power, the power of the Heavenly Demon Array would also continue to multiply.

However, before the soldiers of the 1st Corps could release their power, the surrounding sky began to distort and crack under the pressure of the Heavenly Demon Array. Following that, a large area of the sky began to collapse.

Benson looked at the large array formation that was rapidly disappearing in front of him, and his expression turned sour.

Benson shouted at the soldiers with a solemn face, “I can’t believe that we were trapped by a weak array for so long. If word got out, it would really damage the reputation of the 1st Corps. No matter what, we must kill him today. We must protect our reputation!”

The soldiers of the 1st Corps were about to reply in unison when the illusion array around them suddenly shattered. Immediately after that, a figure covered in flames appeared in front of everyone!

“He’s here again!”

Every soldier of the 1st Corps was far stronger than Vincent. However, they had been tormented by Vincent until their bodies and minds were exhausted. They had even forgotten to counterattack at the first moment and only continued shouting.

Benson widened his eyes as he glared at Vincent who kept flying toward him. Although there was killing intent in his eyes, he did not make a move.

In a split second, the 5,000 demons all looked at Vincent who was only a level 50 creature. They were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered as they looked at a very weak wolf.

It was understandable for ordinary soldiers to panic. However, Benson would never back down just because of Vincent’s attacks!

Even when facing a stronger enemy or a more insidious opponent, Benson was never afraid. He just watched calmly as Vincent flew closer and closer toward him.

If Benson was focused on the glory of the demons, Gajero’s order, and the reputation of the 1st Corps, he could have directly used black magic to kill Vincent. However, he still had his own purpose in mind so he could not do that!

Vincent did not care about the reaction of the demons at all. This was because no matter how the 1st Corps resisted, they could not stop him.

Even if he was outnumbered, Vincent had absolute confidence that he could move freely in the army!

“Shadow of Desolation!” shouted Vincent in a deep voice.

The air around him distorted slightly, and then quickly returned to normal.

An invisible clone appeared and flew in front of Vincent. It silently defended Vincent against any danger without anyone noticing it.

After preparing his shield, Vincent raised his hand and pulled out the Return Journey of the Dead. He was ready to activate the Purgatory of Nature and release Hades, who was ready to attack at any time.

Ever since Vincent created Hades, he had never been able to determine Hades’s true strength. Hades had always been able to defend against anyone who entered the Purgatory of Nature.

Therefore, Vincent wanted to find out what would happen if Hades fought against the 1st Corps.

“Be careful, protect the deputy commander!”

At that moment, a few demon soldiers finally recovered from their shock. They quickly gathered around Benson, ready to attack Vincent in the sky.

“Get out of the way, I want to kill him myself!”

Benson suddenly swept the staff in his hand forward, directly flipping over the soldiers who were protecting him. Then, he jumped into the air and charged straight at Vincent.

Vincent did not expect Benson to take the initiative to go forward. This no doubt saved him a lot of trouble.

After all, the most difficult problem at hand was how to separate Benson from the many soldiers of the 1st Corps. However, it seemed that Benson had taken the initiative to help Vincent solve this problem.

“Space door, open!”

Vincent took out his space token and waved it in front of him. He soon opened a pitch-black door.

After seeing Vincent’s space door appearing out of nowhere, Benson could not help but hesitate a little. At the same time, he subconsciously stopped his body and did not continue to rush forward.

However, at that moment, Vincent’s space door was just a step away from Benson. The space door was like a giant beast, opening its bloody mouth to welcome Benson in!

This was all thanks to Vincent’s creativity on the battlefield. He was proficient in timing and was good at preparing quick responses when encountering sudden situations.

The space door that Vincent had personally opened seemed to be a trap prepared for Benson. However, it was actually just a deterrent to stop him. After all, Vincent did not dare to let a high-level creature get close to him.

The trap truly prepared for Benson was actually the space door that the Shadow of Desolation had secretly opened. It was even more concealed and would appear in front of Benson even more suddenly. Not only would it increase the probability of success, but it would also ensure Vincent’s safety.

Although Benson stopped, he would still be dragged into the space door.

“Life Bind!”

An incomparably majestic voice suddenly came from behind Vincent. Following that, many blood-red law chains rapidly opened up behind him, rushing toward Benson like countless tentacles. They firmly trapped his four limbs and then dragged him toward the space door.

Benson struggled twice before he was pulled into the space door. He was not able to resist effectively.

After seeing that he had succeeded, Vincent entered the space door in front of him. Following that, Justin, who had been following behind him, entered the space door as well.

Vincent, who had returned to the space tunnel, was still holding the token in his hand. This was the foreshadowing that he had planned for a long time!

“Space jump!”

Vincent controlled the token and shouted softly. Two figures appeared in front of him at the same time.

One was Benson, who was full of surprise, and the other was Alexia, who was already used to the situation.

“Your Highness, so you were locked up here!”

After seeing Alexia again, Benson did not appear very excited. Instead, he sighed with a calm expression.

Alexia said, “Benson, you must be careful. They want the black magic on you. Don’t let them get away with it. Run as soon as you have the chance. Go and tell father to save me!”

Alexia was determined to resist Vincent’s control. She wanted to warn Benson at all costs to be on guard against Vincent and Justin as soon as possible.

However, Vincent and Justin did not have the slightest reaction to Alexia’s words. They only looked at Benson indifferently. This was because they were supposed to kill Benson. Even if their intentions were exposed, it was not a big deal.

This was a space tunnel. Only Vincent could control it freely. Benson had no way of escaping!

Benson’s reaction was even more unexpected. He did not have the slightest vigilance. Instead, he ignored Alexia and walked toward Vincent.

Benson asked softly, “May I know your name?”

Benson’s face was full of wrinkles, but he still tried to squeeze out an ugly smile.

Although Vincent did not know why the other party would want to know his name, he still answered, “Vincent!”

Benson suddenly smiled sinisterly. He pointed at Alexia beside him and said, “She is the princess of the Demon Race, the pearl of Gajero. Moreover, she has the Immortal bloodline in her body. If you can obtain her body, you can use the bloodline in her body to increase your strength! I can leave her with you, or I can let you leave. I just want to exchange an item with you. What do you think?”

“You!”

Alexia looked at Benson in shock. Her arrogant face was full of anger because she did not expect that she would be betrayed by her own kind one day.

Vincent looked at Justin in surprise and then asked, “What do you want to exchange?”

Benson held his staff and said solemnly, “I want the sacred item of the Demon Race that you have in your hands, the Cup of Augustus!”

Vincent frowned slightly and instantly thought of the predecessor of the Cup of Fate. The special equipment was refined from the heart of the former High Priest of the Demon Race and the flesh and blood of many demon priests!

As the only remaining priest of the Demon Race, Benson’s purpose of wanting the Cup of Augustus was self-evident!

“You want the Cup of Augustus? What’s your relationship with it?”

Vincent did not respond to Benson’s deal and asked him a question instead.

Benson did not bother hiding his true intentions and said respectfully, “Lord Augustus is my guide and teacher in the field of black magic. I must bring the cup back to the Demon Race and bury it with his body so that his soul can rest in peace!”

Alexia could not help but fall into silence.

Although she was not yet twenty years old, she knew a lot about the history of the Demon Race. She learned it partly through the records of the Demon Race and occasional talks with Gajero.

In the past, the Demon Race was ruled by faith, and the supreme leader was the High Priest of the Demon Race. However, during the rule of High Priest Augustus, Gajero relied on his talent and the fortuitous encounters in the Black Hole World to increase his strength. This caused his position in the Demon Race to also rise continuously.

The young and ambitious Gajero wanted to lead the Demon Race on the road of invasion, but the High Priest, Augustus strongly opposed it, arguing that the Demon Race should develop freely in freedom and desire. They should not be subjected to anyone’s high-intensity rule.

Under the circumstances where their ideals did not agree, Gajero finally set off a revolution within the Demon Race. He killed Augustus and the many demon priests and became the new king of the Demon Race. He then led his clansmen on a high-intensity road to hegemony and became one of the strongest races in the Black Hole World through countless wars of aggression.

Gajero brought endless nightmares to all the races in the Black Hole. Even the demons themselves also had complaints about him. This was because the Black Magic Arcana spell, which was related to the greatest treasure of the Demon Race, almost disappeared along with Augustus and the demon priests who were loyal to him.

Later, after many investigations, Gajero found a child who had been taught by Augustus. He ordered him to study black magic according to the ancient books of the demons and made him stay by his side for more training. That child was Benson, the deputy commander of the 1st Corps!

After hearing Benson’s request for the item, Alexia felt a bit sympathetic toward him, and her mood became much heavier.

Vincent suddenly opened his mouth and said to Benson with a disdainful look, “I’m sorry, this equipment is very important to me, so I can’t agree to your deal! Also, regarding the ownership of this demon princess, I don’t need your acquiescence, because she’s already mine!”
