Vincent looked at Ebenezer who was clamoring for a one-on-one fight with Dave. He immediately said seriously, “Now is not the time to play. Take me to see Angelina and Avril immediately!”

“But…”

Ebenezer looked at Dave awkwardly and said helplessly, “But if Master wants to bring him along, Horace might go crazy!”

Vincent frowned and asked, “Did you tell him what I asked you to tell him the last time?”

Ebenezer nodded and said, “I did, but Horace agreed very perfunctorily. I think he will still take action once he sees the Dark Elves!”

Vincent could not help but turned to Dave and asked, “Did you hear that? It will be very dangerous if we meet the elves! Do you still dare to go?”

Dave thought for a moment and nodded solemnly. He replied, “I dare!”

Vincent nodded. He then smiled at Ebenezer and said, “See, this is why I like him more!”

Ebenezer scratched his head and said with a blank expression, “I’m also very brave. I’m not necessarily worse than him!”

Vincent patted Ebenezer’s shoulder and said softly, “That’s because you don’t know the purpose of him risking his life to meet the elves. Any race, any individual, will become great because of their lofty goal and resolute character. Your courage is just simply brainless. You still have a long way to go in the future!”

Ebenezer looked at Vincent with an unconvinced look. He turned around to look at Dave.

He originally did not intend to compete with Dave to see who Vincent’s best disciple was. However, he overheard what Vincent said to Dave, so he thought of a new way to make an appearance. Nevertheless, he did not expect Vincent to praise Dave so seriously. It made Ebenezer feel competitive!

No matter what his master said, sooner or later, he would surpass this Dark Elf and become his master’s best disciple!

Ebenezer swore in his heart and finally said to Vincent, “Then I’ll take you to Horace now. Follow me!”

Vincent nodded and signaled for Dave to follow. Under Ebenezer’s lead, the two of them left the deeper parts of the Tias Mountains.

The surroundings were very calm and there was no dangerous aura. Vincent could not help but feel relieved. It seemed that the ancient Zerg had not come here.

However, Vincent still asked Ebenezer cautiously, “From last night until now, did anything unusual happen around the safe house?”

Ebenezer thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, “These days, I was responsible for patrolling. I did not find anything unusual!”

Vincent sighed lightly and said, “That’s good!”

Ebenezer noticed Vincent’s strange behavior and could not help but ask, “What’s wrong, master? Is there any danger in the Tias mountain range?”

Vincent did not say anything. Instead, he cast a look at Dave.

Dave immediately understood and said to Ebenezer, “An ancient insect race known as the Zerg Race ran out of the city last night. It has the strength of a level 60 creature. It was lured out of the west city gate and disappeared in the direction of the Tias Mountain Range!”

Ebenezer could not help but be startled when he heard that. He immediately turned to look at Vincent and Dave and asked in surprise, “Isn’t this the world of the elves? The elves are a mid-level race. How could there be a high-level creature here?”

After hearing Ebenezer’s question, Dave could not help but look at Vincent subconsciously. He sighed softly and said, “That’s because the ancient Zerg was intentionally released. It was originally just a small plan to deal with others. However, the strength of the ancient Zerg was beyond the imagination of the schemers. As such, the outcome had deviated from the original plan!”

Even though Ebenezer did not pick up the hint in Dave’s eyes, he could roughly guess that Vincent was the one behind the matter. He recalled the time back in the capital of Ultimate Evil. The chaos that his master had set up was far more terrifying than this mere ancient Zerg Race.

After hearing the news that the Zerg had run into the Tias Mountain Range, Ebenezer could not help but feel a sense of wariness rising in his heart. He looked around carefully.

The three of them soon arrived outside Horace’s safe house.

Ebenezer pointed at the crack in the stone in front of him and said, “Master, we are here!”

Vincent looked up and down at the crack in the stone. He nodded and said, “It’s a perfect disguise! No wonder he can always stay near Devil Flame City!”

Dave, on the other hand, was looking at the crack in the stone with even more curiosity. It seemed that he wanted to understand the owner of the house through the layout of his safehouse.

Back then, although Dave had his own thoughts, he was only taught that the Dark Elves and the elves were irreconcilable enemies. The elves were not only the eternal enemies of the Dark Elves but also very terrifying beasts. Therefore, Dave had never really understood anything about the elves.

At that moment, under Vincent’s guidance, Dave had already seen the dangers of believing in Gajero. He became even more impatient and wanted to speak to the elves immediately.

Vincent raised his hand and patted Dave’s shoulder to help him relax. He then said to Ebenezer, “Go knock on the door! We’ll wait outside!”

“Eh!”

Ebenezer nodded and went into the safe house through the crack in the stone.

A moment later, two figures rushed out of the crack one after another into Vincent’s arms.

“You’re finally back. We were so worried about you!”

Avril and Angelina looked at Vincent, who was safe and sound. They could not help but sigh happily.

Vincent also hugged the two girls tightly and said softly, “I was so worried about you!”

Dave looked at the two women in Vincent’s arms. They looked very similar to each other, and they should be Vincent’s kin. He immediately thought of their relationship.

He did not expect Vincent to sneak into the Dark Elves World to fight against Gajero. However, what was even more unexpected was that he brought his women with him to do such a dangerous thing. It was too crazy!

At that moment, a green light instantly emerged from the crack in the stone. Immediately after that, a dagger pierced through the green light and went straight for Dave’s throat.

“Andre’s son, give me your life!”

Horace’s mad roar came from within the green light.

Dave hurriedly retreated. The long knife in his hand had long been broken. He did not have any ability to resist. At the same time, he also knew that he was only a level 25 creature. There was no way he could withstand the attack of this jungle killer in front of him.

However, although Dave could not block it, there were still others around him who would help him to block Horace’s attack.

Vincent, who was hugging the two girls, suddenly flashed and appeared in the air in front of Dave. It all happened in a blink of an eye! He casually took his Return Journey of the Dead and used the scabbard to ruthlessly hack at the green light below.

“Bang!”

The green light instantly dissipated. Horace, who tried to stab Dave immediately stopped and fell to the ground.

When Vincent landed, everyone could see Horace lying on the ground. His entire body was almost embedded in the soil. The clothes that he was wearing were neatly torn from his shoulders to his back. His bruised skin was exposed. Fortunately, his injuries were not serious, or the bones on his back would have been shattered!

Angelina saw the scene and thought that Vincent regarded Horace as an enemy. However, just as she was about to go forward to dissuade him, she was stopped by Avril.

“Don’t worry, Vincent knows what he’s doing!” said Avril softly to her sister. This was because she had long disliked Horace’s stubborn temper. It was good for Vincent to teach him a lesson.

Horace struggled to get up from the soil and asked Vincent with a face full of hatred, “Why, why are you stopping me from taking revenge?”

Vincent said with a calm expression, “I seem to have asked my disciple to tell you that Dave is the person I like and the future savior of the Elf Race. If you want to kill him, I don’t mind killing you now!”

Horace heard this and looked at Vincent in shock. He muttered, “You actually think of a Dark Elf as the savior? Then don’t even think about cooperating with the elves. We will not have anything to do with the Dark Elves’ accomplices!”

Vincent frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, “Do you mean that all the Dark Elves should die?”

Horace was stunned by the question and could not say a word. In the end, he could only turn to look at Dave and said in a deep voice, “Even if we can’t kill all the Dark Elves, we definitely can’t let Andre’s son go!”

After seeing this, Vincent turned to look at Avril and asked, “What kind of logic is this? Is Andre his enemy, or is Andre’s son, his enemy? Aren’t you guys supposed to explain to him?”

Avril spread her hands helplessly and said, “We’ve been trying to persuade him, but it’s useless! He’s more stubborn than anyone we’ve ever met. If you’re confident, you can try it yourself!”

“Stubborn?”

Vincent sneered and looked down at Horace. He said in a deep voice, “Bullsh*t, stubborn? He’s nothing more than a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Since he hates Andre so much, why not go and attack Devil Flame City alone? Even if he had to die, he could die a spectacular death! Not only was he afraid of killing Andre, but he also even thought of assassinating a level 25 child. He could be a so-called hero and live a miserable life. It was nothing more than a one-sided wish that moved him!”

After Horace heard Vincent’s sarcasm, his heart was filled with shame and anger. However, from the short exchange earlier, he knew that he was no match for Vincent. He could only lower his head and look to the side. He did not dare to speak or respond to Vincent’s criticism.

After seeing that Horace had chosen to play dead, Vincent turned to Ebenezer and said, “Have your strength increased recently?”

Ebenezer nodded and said, “Yes! I’m a level 32 creature now!”

Vincent pointed at Horace and said to Ebenezer, “Since he can’t figure it out, help him figure it out and use all your methods!”

Ebenezer sneered and strode toward Horace.

Ever since he learned that this stubborn elf was the strongest assassin in the forest, he had wanted to exchange blows with him. However, he was worried about Vincent’s plan to join forces with the elves. As such, he had been holding back and did not make a move.

After receiving Vincent’s order today, Ebenezer no longer had any worries.

He said provocatively to Horace, “Come, get up and fight!”

At the same time, his hands turned into blades, and he stabbed Horace.

Horace, who was depressed, naturally would not sit around and wait for death. After seeing Ebenezer, who had been living in harmony with him for so many days, suddenly attacked, he could only hurriedly get up and wave his dagger to block Ebenezer’s attack.

At the same time, Vincent pulled Dave back. Angelina and Avril, who were at the side, also took a few steps back. They left ample space for both sides to fight.

Vincent pulled Dave and said seriously, “Look carefully. This is a rare battle between two assassins. Horace is a level 39 creature, which means that before Gajero descended into the Elf World, he was the strongest expert of the Elf Race. My disciple is a level 32 creature. Some of his abilities are taught by me, and some of his abilities are from his talent. Who do you think will win?”

Dave thought for a moment and said, “This is Horace’s home ground, and he has a level advantage. I think he will definitely win!”

Vincent smiled and turned to shout at Ebenezer, “Ebenezer! Someone thinks you will lose, use more strength!”

Ebenezer replied in a deep voice, “Okay!”

He had always wanted to compete with Horace. However, after he heard Dave belittling him, he no longer held back and attacked Horace with all his strength.

Horace had always relied on his attacking method, which was his erratic green light. With the cover of the green light, Horace not only could hide his body, but he could also sprint faster and shift his position. He could even flash behind his target in an instant.

On the other hand, the black gas around Ebenezer naturally had the effect to conceal his figure. At the same time, he was faster than Horace, and he also had the strange ability to blend into his opponent’s shadow. He slowly gained the upper hand in the battle with Horace.

Horace was getting more and more alarmed as he fought. This was because he did not expect that this level 32 creature in front of him was actually an assassin that was even stronger than him!

Ebenezer did not make any sound every time he attacked. At the same time, there were no fluctuations in his emotions. Every attack carried out the final goal meticulously, which was to kill the target!

“You forced me to do this!”

Horace let out an indignant roar. In an instant, his entire body glowed with green light. The dagger in his hand turned into wood at the same time. The green light was like vines. They spread toward Ebenezer crazily.

Ebenezer immediately waved his arms and chopped at the vines in front of him. However, the vines seemed to have an unlimited ability to regenerate. The more he chopped, the more they grew. They began to split into countless vines, forming a siege on Ebenezer.

When the vines surrounded Ebenezer, countless sharp blades suddenly grew out of the vines, like new branches. As the vine cage slowly closed, countless blades began to close in on Ebenezer as well.

“Not good, there’s danger!”

Dave, who was at the side, wanted to go forward to help him. However, he was stopped by Vincent.

Vincent smiled and said, “The battle is not over yet!”

Dave said with some worry, “But won’t it be too late when it’s over?”

Vincent shook his head gently, indicating for Dave to continue watching.

Just as Dave turned his head to look at Ebenezer, Ebenezer suddenly rushed toward the vines covered with blades in front of him. He looked as if he wanted to use his physical body to smash through the vines.

Just as Ebenezer was about to collide with the sharp blade, his body seemed to have disappeared into thin air. It was as if he had entered an invisible door, instantly disappearing from Horace’s encirclement.

“This…”

Dave could not help but be stunned on the spot. He had no idea how Ebenezer did it. He was actually able to escape under the layers of encirclement in an instant!

At that moment, Horace, who was preparing to pull back the net, noticed that Ebenezer had suddenly disappeared. His eyes could not help but flash with helplessness and fear. This was not the first time he had seen such an ability. It was just that he did not know how to resolve this mysterious ability!

At the same time, an invisible door quietly opened behind Horace. Ebenezer walked out from it silently and lifted his leg to sweep Horace to the ground.

Horace, who was caught off guard, instantly fell to the ground. The vine cage that had been under his control also collapsed in an instant.

Ebenezer was quick with his hands and eyes. He took advantage of the moment when Horace was distracted and quickly snatched the dagger in his hand. At the same time, he deactivated his ability. His arms were no longer blades.

Ebenezer clenched his fists and smashed them toward Horace’s face.

Horace, who was suddenly faced with this barbaric attack, did not know how to resist for a moment because he had lost his dagger. He could only subconsciously bend his arms to protect his head.

However, after receiving a few more punches, Horace seemed to have woken up from the beating. He instantly sat up and swung his fists toward Ebenezer.

Even if an assassin did not have a blade, he should still use his fists to kill his opponent!

This was what Horace shouted to himself in his heart, but Ebenezer did not give him the chance to move.

“Modify the illusion!” shouted Ebenezer.

His body began to turn gray and transparent. No matter how hard Horace tried to attack, he could not hurt him in the slightest. However, Ebenezer’s fist did not turn into nothingness. Instead, he continued to smash into Horace’s face.

In the blink of an eye, Horace’s face was bruised and swollen. However, he realized that his fist could only penetrate Ebenezer’s body. He could not cause any substantial damage to him. He then thought of temporarily dodging the attack. He immediately turned around and was prepared to transform into a green light to escape Ebenezer’s attack range.

However, Ebenezer was becoming more and more courageous as he fought. With a wave of his fist, he once again displayed his authority to modify.

“Modify the pattern!”

Ebenezer slammed his hands heavily on the ground. An invisible barrier instantly rose within a three-meter radius around him. It seemed to have completely isolated the area around him from the entire world.

The green light that Horace had turned into crashed heavily into the barrier. He then bounced back in front of Ebenezer.

Ebenezer took the opportunity to press down on Horace, who was in the green light. He then launched another storm-like attack.

Horace had no way to dodge or escape in the narrow space. He wanted to fight back but he could not hit Ebenezer.. He could only fall down in despair and helplessness under Ebenezer’s repeated heavy punches.
