Chapter 268: Ch-268: Devil Invasion (05)

"Someone is coming," Vicious said as he felt a somewhat familiar aura closing in on him. He frowned as he could recognize it, as it did not belong to devils or demons, and then a sudden thought struck him as he said with a horrified smile, "No way, they couldn’t have chased me here, could they?"

But when he saw the group running towards him, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as if he had seen a ghost.

In front of him were Victor, Amber, and Rina, and especially Victor, who still gave him nightmares in his sleep.

"You..." When Amber saw Vicious, she was left completely speechless. She could easily recognize this devil, as this was the first strong devil they had encountered that ran away, and it could be said they were here because of him.

"Ah, you recognize this..." Valerie asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, this was the devil we encountered back on our planet," Rina said calmly, and Valerie darkened as she thought, ’Such a dangerous devil was on Earth, heavens.’

"Well, well, look who it is? Isn’t this the coward who ran away?" Victor said in a mocking tone.

"How the heck did you bastards come here?" Vicious practically roared while taking a few steps back, as he knew how dangerous Victor was and how he had become a psychological shadow for him. He had no intention of dying like his subordinates.

"Guess," Victor said with a grin, completely ignoring Vicious’s increasingly red face, which was burning with anger.

"Guess your head!" Vicious shouted, and the next moment, he bolted backwards. Seeing this, Amber sneered and pointed her gun towards Vicious’s back.

Bang!

The ice bullet flew through the air and struck his left leg, which instantly turned to ice.

"What the hell?"

Vicious cursed, but the next moment, his expression changed when he felt his strength start to rapidly decrease, and when he looked at his stats, he saw that his stats were almost halved.

"What did you do?" Vicious looked at Victor in horror, as he was sure Victor was behind it.

"This is the special skill of a Soul Weapon," Victor said as he pointed towards the scythe, and the next moment, chains shot out from the scythe.

"AHHHHH!" Vicious screamed in pain. He had never felt so much pain in his entire life; it felt like his soul was being ripped into pieces.

Victor kept torturing Vicious until his aura had weakened completely. Just as he was about to deal the killing blow, Amber stepped forward and said, "Let me kill him. I am just one kill away from advancing to the next tier."

"Go ahead," Victor said.

Amber smiled and used her charm on Vicious and said, "Please kill yourself."

Vicious, who was still groaning in pain, had his eyes go hazy and said with a lustful smile, "Yes."

Vicious used his hands like Lance and directly pierced his throat, and new notifications appeared on Amber’s retina.

[You have completed the Tier Advancement Quest]

[You have reached Tier 3]

[The level-up function is functional again]

As Amber was smiling with ecstasy, Victor frowned and looked towards the battlefield.

Bang Bang

Boom Boom

Shockwaves formed as Seraphina watched her father, Mark, and the Silent Reaper exchange blows, which caused her to furrow her eyebrows.

"It’s taking too long. The more time passes, the more dangerous the situation will get," Seraphina mumbled with a frown as she killed another devil and wiped the blood from her face. She knew the King of Ingril was lurking in the shadows and would strike the moment he got a chance.

She then turned to look at her mother, who was engaged in fighting several devils who had surrounded her, and thought, ’The only one who can help my father is my mother. Even if she is not strong enough to help him much, she can at least harass the other two and make them slip up.’

Seraphina killed another devil and dashed towards her mother and said, "Mother, I will help you deal with them quickly, and you can go and help Father."

Maria saw her daughter suddenly appear and frowned a bit as she looked at her husband, who was still having a bit of difficulty fighting the two, and said, "You are right... hurry up and kill them."

Seraphina nodded, and after a few minutes had passed, all the devils near them were dead.

"Seraphina, I need you to go and bring a vial of blood from the Treasury. It’s located at the deepest part of the treasure inside a glass box," Maria said, looking at Seraphina, who was startled upon hearing her mother’s words.

"Blood? What blood?" Seraphina asked in confusion.

"Yes, just go and bring it... I have a feeling we will need that," Maria said, offering no explanation, which frustrated Seraphina, but she still obeyed. Just as she covered a small distance, both she and Maria’s expressions changed as they shouted.

"Alaric!"

"Father, watch out!"

Alaric, who looked disheveled from fighting the two devils, was startled when he heard the shouting of his daughter and wife and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as his senses warned him of danger. He was too late to avoid a sword stab, which pierced his shoulder.

"Ugh." Alaric’s face turned deathly pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead as he looked at the sword embedded in his shoulder. His pupils shrank when he saw the attacker.

"Issac, you coward!" Alaric said through gritted teeth, and Issac, the Devil King, just grinned with a malicious expression.

"It’s not cowardice, Alaric, but strategy," Issac said as he pushed the sword further and saw Alaric clench his jaw and look at him with a murderous expression.

"King Alaric, what good timing. If you had taken action a second later, we would have been in serious trouble," Silent Reaper said with a relieved expression as he was bleeding from numerous wounds inflicted by Alaric during the fight. Even Mark was no different from Silent Reaper, and both showed a wary look towards Alaric, especially Mark, who could not believe that Alaric had such armor as a trump card.

"You two go and kill his wife and daughter," Isaac said, and as soon as these words left his mouth, he could feel the mana inside Alaric’s body starting to surge violently, and the next moment...

Bang!

Alaric’s expression hardened and he directly struck the sword, shattering it, and said in a cold voice, "Like I am going to let you."

Alaric roared and was about to strike Mark, but Isaac stopped him in his path and blocked him with a smile. "You are fighting me."

Mark and Silent Reaper exchanged a glance and then turned their gazes towards Maria and Seraphina, who were running towards the treasury.

"I will go deal with my niece," Mark said, as Silent Reaper nodded and charged towards Seraphina.

"Get out of my way, you bastard!" Alaric shouted as he raised his weapon and struck him with all his might.

"So short-tempered," Isaac mocked as he responded with his own attack.

"Damn it," Seraphina cursed as she sprinted towards the treasury. She was very anxious seeing her father get injured. She wanted to help, but no, she could not make a difference, so she just focused on the current task assigned by her mother.

Just as she was running, she felt a wave of danger and looked back, and her pupils shrank when she saw Mark charging towards her with a grim smile while radiating killing intent.

"Damn," Seraphina cursed as she increased her pace even more, like her life depended on it.

"Mark, you bastard!" Maria, who saw this, had her face turn red and was about to block her brother, but Silent Reaper appeared in front of her and said with a grin, "You are staying here with me, my Queen."

Maria frowned upon seeing this and instantly became anxious, as she could not deal with him in a short time, and whether she could defeat him was another matter. She looked at her daughter, and her pupils shrank as she shouted...

"Seraphina, watch out! Dodge!" Hearing her mother’s scream, she looked back and saw that Mark, with his sword pointing at her, was only a few meters away from her.

’Fuck, I am dead,’ she thought as she instinctively closed her eyes, and the last sound she heard was the rumbling of lightning.

Rumble!

A few seconds had passed, and she could not feel any pain. She opened her eyes, and her eyes widened when she saw Victor standing in front of her, as his scythe had blocked the sword and black lightning crackled around his body.

But someone else was even more shocked than Seraphina herself. Valerie, who saw Victor suddenly turn into black lightning and rush towards Seraphina, had barely any time to react, and when she realized what she had just witnessed, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets and her jaw hit the floor.

"B-Black lightning, t-that’s Faceless!" Valerie shouted in disbelief.
