Chapter 532: Pursuers Had Arrived, and Danger Lurked

Not long after Ebenezer and the others left, Kurt who was at the hillside shouted at Vincent and the others, “Mr. Vincent, the teleportation array is complete. We can leave now!”

Vincent, who was standing beside a huge rock and had already taken off his Doom Armour, waved his hand and said to everyone, “Everyone, get ready to set off immediately!”

Everyone stood up to respond, but no one left. Instead, they all looked at where Vincent was standing.

This was because there was another person hiding behind the huge rock. It seemed like a long time had passed.

Vincent saw everyone’s curious gazes and said to the person behind the huge rock helplessly, “How is it? You haven’t put it on after such a long time?”

Avril, who had finally put on the Doom Armor, walked out from behind the boulder with an excited expression. She raised her hand to put it on Vincent’s neck and asked with a proud expression, “I’m done, I’m done! Do I look like a God of War now?”

“Mm, your heroic appearance makes you look like a true warrior! But time waits for no man, we should hurry up and get on the road!”

Vincent nodded and praised Avril while grabbing her waist. He then led her up the hill.

Ever since she confided her feelings to Vincent, Avril had never been too intimate with Vincent.

Therefore, when Avril was hugged by Vincent, she could not help but blush. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at anyone. She quickly followed Vincent to Kurt’s side.

The teleportation portal had been successfully built. Lilis, who was standing at the side, looked at Kurt with envy. She wished that she could become his disciple on the spot and learn the teleportation techniques of the Esville Race.

Vincent urged everyone, “If you have anything to say, wait until the teleportation is completed. As usual, you guys go first. I’ll take the rear!”

Lilis could only swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth and take the lead to enter the teleportation portal.

Due to her shyness, Avril quickly let go of Vincent’s arm and walked into the teleportation array.

As everyone was being teleported away one by one, Vincent and Kurt exchanged a glance. They did not give in and walked into the teleportation array together.

Just as they took a step forward, a purple hexagram array formation suddenly lit up at the bottom of the hill. Demon figures gradually appeared within the array formation. There was an army of four to five thousand demons. Just their aura alone made Vincent break out in a cold sweat.

“The 1st Corps has arrived. Let’s go quickly!”

Vincent could not help but drag Kurt into the teleportation array quickly.

However, they were still seen by the leader of the demons.

“Wasn’t the guy who disappeared just now the person our chief is looking for?”

A tall demon in black heavy armor walked out of the hexagram array and pointed at the hill where Vincent had disappeared.

A demon dressed as a priest walked out of the hexagram array. He bowed and said, “General Gaia, I have seen the appearance of the two figures just now. I can confirm that one of them is the target that the chief is looking for. Moreover, I have already applied the Black Demon Arcana on their bodies. No matter where they go, I can accurately locate their position!”

Gaia turned his head, smiled, and said, “Benson, you are indeed the only high priest who has mastered the Black Demon Arcana. In such a short time, you have already prepared a backup plan. It seems that our 1st Corps will continue the glory of the past. We will not let down the trust of the chief!”

Benson smiled. However, as his face was dry and wrinkled like the bark of an old tree, it looked particularly gloomy.

Benson said humbly, “As a member of the 1st Corps, it’s my honor to be able to serve the general!”

Gaia raised his head and laughed heroically. He then stretched out his huge palm and patted Benson’s shoulder. He replied, “You can’t say that. As my vice-general, you have the right to share half of all the glory that I have received! Next, we just need to wait for Miss Alexia to lead the 24th Corps to arrive. Then, we can follow your Black Demon Arcana to hunt down the Spirit Race that chief wants to kill!”

However, Benson did not agree with him. Instead, he frowned and said, “The 24th Corps was teleported here through a simple tunnel. They should have arrived a little earlier than us. Why is there still no sign of them until now?”

Gaia was startled. He said with a nervous expression, “That’s right. Why didn’t I notice it? Could there be an accident? Benson, can you recreate what happened here just now?”

Benson nodded and raised his hand. He replied, “Yes, general, please retreat and wait for a moment!”

Gaia turned around and looked at the corps that had just walked out of the hexagram array. With a light wave of his hand, he shouted in a deep voice, “All of you retreat by 50 steps!”

When the 5,000 demon soldiers above level 70 heard this, they took a step back like machines. After taking 50 steps back, they stood on the spot like statues.

Gaia nodded his head in satisfaction. He then walked forward and stood among the soldiers, staring at Benson who was not far away.

Benson, who had a stooped figure, raised the magic staff in his hand and started chanting. However, no one knew the meaning of his chants, but they could see a pale purple light screen suddenly appear. The tip of Benson’s staff expanded rapidly until it enveloped the entire world.

Illusory figures soon appeared in the light screen, showing the scene of Vincent controlling the 26th Corps with Cosmic Threads and the 24th Corps being wiped out.

When he saw Alexia being attacked and dragged into a space door, Gaia, who had been expressionless all this time, finally revealed a solemn expression.

This demon general, who had killed countless creatures throughout his life, actually had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead at that moment!

When Vincent and Kurt left through the teleportation array, Benson put away his spell and walked back to Gaia with a trembling body.

“General, it seems that the 26th and 24th Corps have been completely annihilated! That spirit has at least two Demon Race treasures in his hands. No wonder the race leader had specially interrupted the battle plan on the frontlines for him. He had mobilized the strongest 1st Corps to hunt a level 50 small character!”

Gaia shook his head and said with a nervous expression, “No matter how strong he is, he is definitely not a small character! Because he has kidnapped Princess Alexia, this matter is going to blow up. I have to go back personally and report this matter to Chief Gajero. For now, you lead the 1st Corps to catch up with them. It doesn’t matter if you can kill him or not, but you have to ensure Princess Alexia’s safety!”

Benson did not show any emotions as Gaia did. He just nodded and said, “Please rest assured, I will lead the 1st Corps and follow them from afar. Once we find their nest, we will attack. I guarantee that we will be able to save Princess Alexia!”

Gaia nodded. He turned around and shouted, “Communication team, immediately build a teleportation array and target the frontline camp!”

In a small unknown world, Vincent and Kurt walked out of the teleportation array. They saw Avril and Angelina, along with Lilis and Janos, looking around excitedly at the scenery around them.

Vincent walked forward and said softly, “This is just a small world used by the Esville Race to develop resources. Do you have to be so surprised?”

Avril turned to look at Vincent and said happily, “Don’t you find this world somewhat familiar?”

Vincent raised his head and looked around. He shook his head and said, “I have no impression of it at all!”

Avril took out a notebook from her body. She said to Vincent, “After we set out from the Human Race’s Black Hole Zero, I have made a simple record of all the worlds we passed through on the way. This is one of the worlds that we have passed through before. In other words, as long as we leave this Black Hole, we will be able to find the way back to the Human World!”

Vincent could not help but feel very excited after hearing that. He was a warrior who had been away from his hometown for a long time. He could not help but feel anxious when he knew home was not too far away.

Vincent quickly said to everyone, “This matter cannot be delayed. We must leave immediately and rush to the Black Hole World! I wonder how Teacher Chris and Chris are doing now? How much has the Cang Yuan Country developed?”

Avril and Angelina’s feelings were the same as Vincent’s. Naturally, they could not wait to return to their homeland.

Janos, on the other hand, was just a craftsman who did not care about worldly affairs. He only wanted to find a peaceful place to live, and he also wanted to rush to the Human World to settle down.

On the other hand, Lilis knew that the Human Race had a teleportation portal to the Beast Race. If she wanted to return to her hometown, she had to pass through the Human World. Thus, everyone reached an agreement in an instant.

The one who was the most excited was Kurt. As a record-type robot given to Vincent by the Esville Race, Kurt’s final mission was to rush to the Human World to collect more stories, for the daily entertainment of the Esville Race.

Visiting the Human World was equivalent to finding treasures everywhere for the Esville Race. Kurt could not help but tremble in excitement.

“Mr. Vincent, can you allow me to build a teleportation portal to the Esville Race? I hope that more humans will go to the Esville Race to share their stories. The Esville Race will definitely pay enough!”

Vincent smiled and said, “Don’t worry, this is the agreement I made with the main god of the Esville Race. The humans will use exciting stories to exchange for the advanced technology of the Esville Race. The two sides will exchange what they have, and it will be a fair trade!”

Kurt nodded happily. This was because as long as he could complete this task that had been set in his program since the beginning, he would be the one to decide the path he would take in the future!

At that time, he would be able to truly control his own body and live the ideal life that Vincent had once described to him!

Vincent led everyone home. They were all filled with hope. As Vincent still needed to check the situation of the various worlds along the way, he did not choose to directly lead everyone to perform a space jump. Instead, he decided to travel to the Human World by foot.

During this time, the task of inspecting the world and recording the changes was completely left for Avril and Angelina to handle.

Meanwhile, Vincent had a lot of free time to learn craftsmanship and formation techniques from Janos and Lilis.

When Vincent successfully forged his first piece of equipment, even Janos could not help but praise him.

Janos said with a face full of admiration, “Sir Vincent, as expected of the number one genius in the history of time. To be able to forge a treasured sword in such a short period of time, even though the quality is a little inferior, but to be able to forge it to such a degree with the materials used for practice, it is already rare and valuable!”

Vincent said with a bitter face, “Hey, I originally wanted to forge a knife. How did it become a sword?”

When Janos heard this, he could not help but laugh. He quickly said, “I see. It seems that if Sir Vincent wants to be proficient in craftsmanship, he still needs to put in more hard work! I will give you this forging furnace and workbench. I hope that when you have time in the future, you will practice forging!”

Vincent accepted Janos’s gift with a sad look on his face and ran to learn arrays from Lilis.

Vincent had spent a lot of high-level materials but still could not construct an array. Lilis finally could not stand it anymore.

Lilis hugged the remaining materials tightly and said to Vincent in a pleading tone, “Sir Vincent, the most important thing is to have a solid foundation. Otherwise, it will be a waste of materials. I have here a notebook that records teachings about arrays. You should take it back and read it carefully a few times. When you have some understanding, you can start to set up an array. I believe that the situation will definitely be different then!”

Vincent shook his head helplessly. He put away the array notebook and led the group on their way.

Finally, Vincent led the group back to Black Hole Zero of the Human Race in less than a month.

“We’re home!”

Vincent sighed with excitement, and then his expression became serious.

Angelina and Avril suddenly thought of something and said in unison, “The Black Hole of the Human Race has a restriction set up by the Protoss. Cultivators above level 10 cannot enter at all. How are we going to pass through the Black Hole?”

Lilis and Janos could not help but look at each other awkwardly. They looked around at everyone present. Even Janos, who had the lowest cultivation level, was far stronger than a level 10 creature. He was simply unable to satisfy the requirements to pass through the Black Hole. Just as hope was about to appear, it was so hastily destroyed.

Kurt suddenly raised his hand and said, “I am a robot. I should not be restricted by the Black Hole. I should be able to enter and exit freely. Do you want me to help you inform the humans inside to think of a way?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “It was not easy to come back. Plus, I was rejected by my own Black Hole. If word got out, it would make people laugh their heads off. We should think of a way ourselves!”

Avril nodded and took the initiative to say, “Why don’t we try using modification authority and see if we can temporarily change the restrictions of the Black Hole?”

The reason why the Human Race was able to survive the plundering of the Black Hole was mainly because the human seniors had traded their lives with the Protoss in exchange for the restrictions of the Black Hole. This was the reason why higher-level creatures from the outside world were not allowed to intrude into the Human Race, thus welcoming the opportunity for the Human Race to take a breather and improve themselves.

Even if they had to think of a way to return to the Human World, Vincent and the others could only think of a way to temporarily change the restrictions of the Black Hole. Otherwise, once they destroyed the restrictions of the Protoss, it would be similar to digging their own graves!

Vincent thought for a moment. He soon nodded and said, “Now it seems that we can only try!”

“I’ll do it!”

Avril volunteered to step forward. She raised her hand and pressed it on the Black Hole. She began to use modification authority.

However, just as Avril was about to activate the modification authority, a huge force suddenly came from the Black Hole, sending Avril flying.

Vincent quickly went forward to catch Avril who was falling. He saw that Avril’s face was pale, without any color. It was obvious that she had suffered a great injury.

Vincent quickly took out a healing pill and fed it to Avril. He then turned to the crowd and said, “The level of our modification authority is too low. It’s impossible to change the will of the Protoss. Let’s think of another way!”

Angelina sighed thoughtfully, “Do we have to find an item with the same level as the Protoss in order to change the authority on the Black Hole?”

Vincent suddenly had a flash of inspiration when he heard that. He quickly asked Angelina to help him hold Avril. He then turned around and walked in front of the Black Hole. He stretched out his left hand and placed it on the Black Hole.

The Hand of God was personally cut off by the Protoss and placed on Vincent. The level of authority was high enough and comparable to that of a real Protoss. Vincent thought of this method after using the Cosmic Threads several times.

“Modify and temporarily remove the restrictions!”

Vincent was extremely focused and carefully activated the modification authority. He was also prepared to retreat at any time.

A golden stream of light suddenly flashed on the Black Hole. Vincent’s palm instantly pressed into the Black Hole. This meant that the Black Hole’s restriction had been successfully modified!

The stream of light on Vincent’s left arm did not disappear. Instead, it spread along his shoulder to his entire body, turning him into a flickering light bulb.

Suddenly, Lilis and Janos let out a cry of surprise at the same time.

“Sir Vincent, behind you!”

Vincent turned his head in surprise and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Angelina also raised her head to look at Vincent. She suddenly discovered that under the golden light shining on Vincent’s back, a pitch-black incantation appeared.

The lines of the incantation were unusually complex and filled with an evil feeling. It made everyone shudder.

Angelina reminded Vincent loudly, “There’s a very strange symbol on your back!”

Vincent subconsciously took a step back because he was worried that the strange symbol on his body would affect the humans.

Protecting the humans had already become Vincent’s will in his bones. It would be carried out to the end under any circumstances!

At that moment, Justin’s soul suddenly floated out of Vincent’s body. He stood behind Vincent and observed the symbol carefully. Soon, he frowned and said, “I’ve never seen such a spell before. However, the aura carried by this spell must be from demons. I’m definitely not mistaken! As for the meaning of this spell, I can only make a rough guess. It should represent positioning or tracking!”

Vincent was shocked. At the same time, he recalled the hexagram array that the 1st Corps had used.

Vincent turned around and said to Angelina and the others with a bitter smile, “We cannot go back for the time being!”
