Chapter 441: Outside the Imperial City, Strange Phenomena Were Frequently Occurring

Vincent set off to Imperial City after leaving Serene Spring City.

Vincent had a good understanding of the Elf Race’s background. Ever since the Elf Race started believing in the Seven Great Elf Kings, the beliefs had been passed down from generation to generation. They all lived together in the Imperial City.

It was only after Gajero led the demons to invade the Elf World and defeat the Seven Great Elf Kings that a small team of demons was left behind to guard the Imperial City. The other Elf Kings had gone missing.

The purpose of Vincent’s trip to Imperial City was not only to prepare for the final battle but to also investigate the whereabouts of the Elf Kings.

Based on Vincent’s current understanding of the Elf Race, if the Elf Kings were still living somewhere in Elf World, they would have long led the Elf Race to fight against the demons.

Although the Elf Race was at a disadvantage, many elves like Horace were still trying their best to resist the demons.

Yet, the Elf Kings did not show up to help them. This could only mean one of two things. Either they have disappeared from Elf World or they were trapped in Imperial City!

Therefore, Vincent wanted to look around and see if he could find the whereabouts of the Elf Kings. At the very least, he wanted to help the elves find a divinity that could change their beliefs!

After a few days of traveling, Vincent finally saw the outline of Imperial City in the distance. The tall and magnificent city walls were like a giant’s palace, showing the extraordinary status of the city in the Elf World.

At the same time, Vincent also noticed that the surrounding land was becoming more and more desolate. The desolate land, however, was different from Bright Moon City that had lost the Origin Divine Earth. Although it did not have a rotten aura, it made others feel like life had become very dim. The further one walked, the less suitable it was for one to survive.

Vincent frowned slightly. The Origin Divine Earth in Imperial City would definitely be left for last. Therefore, the bleak scene around him should not be related to the lack of Origin Divine Earth but something else. This could only mean that there were other secrets hidden in Imperial City.

After thinking about it, Vincent could not help but quicken his pace. He wanted to sneak into the Imperial City as soon as possible and find out the secrets behind all of this.

Back then, he had obtained the Heavenly Demon Token from Miller. The token required him to kill an elf and bring its head to Imperial City. Only this way could he be considered to have completed the mission to enter Imperial City. Vincent naturally would not agree to kill an elf because of this. He was prepared to use modification authority to modify a rock into the shape of an elf’s head. He would then hand over the fake head to the demons in Imperial City.

As for whether or not he could muddle through, that would depend on heaven’s will!

At the very least, Vincent felt that his strength was sufficient to deal with the demons in Imperial City. Based on his previous experiences with the Beast Race, Vincent understood that there were many worlds that Gajero had conquered. Therefore, there was a huge gap in strength between the various races. In order to facilitate its rule and continue its invasion, Gajero could only leave behind a few demon teams that were slightly stronger than the local races.

The highest-level creature of the Elf Race was once level 40. After they converted to believe in Gajero, the highest-level creature was level 45. Therefore, the demons that remained in Imperial City must be level 50 creatures at most.

Although Vincent was not confident that he could kill a level 50 creature, he knew that he was strong enough to protect himself. Moreover, he still had the soul of a level 75 creature in his body. If he really fought with the demons in Imperial City, he would not be afraid at all!

At that moment Vincent suddenly noticed that there was a flash of fire behind the hill not far ahead. As he was sensitive toward fire, he immediately sensed that something was wrong and quickly ran up the hill.

When Vincent arrived at the top of the hill, he immediately saw that there was a mid-sized village on the back of the hill. The village was set ablaze. Two groups of Dark Elves were fighting with each other.

However, Vincent could tell that one group of Dark Elves was well-equipped and powerful. Each of their members had the strength of a level 40 creature. They were killing the other group of Dark Elves.

Vincent did not immediately choose to attack after seeing this because he still had not figured out the identities of the two groups. At the same time, he was also very curious as to why such a village was built around Imperial City. It seemed to be somewhat incompatible with the rule of the demons.

At that moment, an indignant roar came from within the flames.

“You bunch of demon puppets! We have already escaped the city. If you still don’t let us go, I’ll curse you to die a horrible death!”

After hearing the indignant roar, Vincent had a basic understanding of what was going on. It seemed that the Dark Elves in the stronghold should have once lived in the Imperial City. It was just that for some unknown reason, they had moved out of the Imperial City. However, what Vincent could not understand was why these Dark Elves did not run further away after escaping. Instead, they chose to set up camp near the city!

The general of the assassins replied, “You traitors, you don’t know what a gift from the gods is. We only received orders from gods. Killing you is also one of those orders!”

As he spoke, the Dark Elves did not stop the massacre. Screams were heard. Soon, silence followed.

After hearing this, Vincent had roughly figured out the situation. He jumped down the hill and pointed downward.

Under the control of the flame authority, the fire in the stronghold became even more intense. The flames then turned into a wall of fire that could move freely, separating the assassins sent by the demons in the Imperial City from the Dark Elves who were trying to escape.

All the Dark Elves did not understand what had happened. They raised their heads in confusion, their eyes filled with shock as they looked around.

Vincent slowly descended in front of them. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he stood on the wall of fire and turned his head to look at the Dark Elves on both sides of the wall of fire.

“Outsiders!”

The leaders of the two Dark Elves frowned at the same time. They looked at Vincent, who had suddenly attacked, in shock.

Vincent stood at the top of the wall calmly. He looked at the side that was fully armed and ready to murder. He asked in a deep voice, “Who are you? Why are you killing the creatures here?”

The general laughed coldly and said proudly, “I represent the Imperial City’s Sky Demon Guards. I am the general of the First Division, Lopez! I am here under the orders of the oracles in the Imperial City to hunt down these traitors who have betrayed Imperial City. You are an outsider. How dare you interfere in this matter?”

After hearing this, Vincent could not help but smile coldly. He then pulled out his Return Journey of the Dead and shouted, “Let’s see!”

He jumped down from the wall of fire and swung his knife at Lopez.

Vincent did not have a good impression of the Dark Elves who were willing to work for the Demon Race. Moreover, their hands were already stained with the blood of their compatriots. This was something Vincent could not tolerate.

Therefore, Vincent did not give the Dark Elves any chance. Instead, he revealed his killing intent right from the start.

After seeing Vincent attacking him so fearlessly, Lopez immediately roared to his subordinates behind him, “Let’s attack together and kill this outsider!”

Dozens of Dark Elves immediately raised their spears high and shouted as they charged toward Vincent.

The moment Vincent landed, he tapped the ground lightly with one foot. His entire body spun in a circle on the spot. The long knife in his hand also spun in a circle and immediately displayed a half-moon-shaped blade aura.

As the blade aura flew, all the Dark Elves that were charging at him were instantly cut into two. Only Lopez realized that the situation was not in their favor. He raised the weapon in his hand to defend. He barely managed to withstand Vincent’s attack. His weapon was broken by Vincent. His entire body flew back more than ten meters, causing him to spit out black blood. He struggled a few times with difficulty, but he could not get up.

After seeing this, Vincent raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The flames in the stronghold were instantly extinguished, revealing a group of Dark Elves who were shivering behind the wall of fire.

Vincent did not care about Lopez, who was seriously injured and unable to move. He turned to look at the Dark Elves who were in the battle earlier, and asked softly, “Who are you? Why are you living here?”

A Dark Elf who was the leader of the village walked forward cautiously. He said to Vincent, “We are all elves who have lived in Imperial City for generations. Ever since the demons ruled the Imperial City, we have been slaves to the demons for generations! However, this was still fine. In recent years, the city had become increasingly strange. The vast majority of the Dark Elves have become like walking corpses, repeating their work mechanically every day. They are unable to say a word! Therefore, we did not want to continue living in such a hellish place, so we united and escaped Imperial City. However, we also knew that no matter where we escaped, we would be captured and brought back to the Imperial City. Thus, we could only build this small stronghold not far from the city. After a period of observation, we discovered that the zombies in the Imperial City would not come to hunt us down. Thus, we felt more at ease and began to live normally. However, we did not expect to be hunted down today. Moreover, these elves all became normal after leaving the city!”

After hearing the other party’s description, Vincent could not help but frown slightly. It seemed that there were indeed many secrets hidden in the Imperial City!

Vincent asked again, “Has the city always been this desolate and dilapidated?”

The other party shook his head helplessly, sighing, “Not really! The land around the Imperial City had always been the most fertile. When we escaped, we could still survive by gathering food. However, in recent years, the environment here has become increasingly bleak. If not for the pursuit of the Sky Demon Guards, we might not have been able to survive here!”

Vincent nodded and raised his hand to point in the direction of Serene Spring City. He said, “Pack up and head in that direction. You’ll be safe once you reach Serene Spring City. The residents there have successfully overthrown the rule of the demons. They will accept you and settle you down properly!”

The leader could not help but ask in excitement, “Really? There are elves who have started to rebel against Gajero?”

Vincent nodded, smiled, and said, “Really! And they are in great need of information about the Imperial City. I hope that after you settle down there, you can tell everything you see and hear in the Imperial City to the City Lord of Serene Spring City, Melissa. This will be very useful information to help overthrow the demons!”

“Alright, alright. Thank you for rescuing us. We will go to Serene Spring City now!”

The leader of the village nodded repeatedly upon hearing that. After thanking Vincent, he immediately called for the rest of the wounded elves. They then set off on their journey.
