Chapter 492: Chapter 492 - Paranoid, Invited for a Duel

Winnie sized Vincent up. Even though she was aware that he had kidnapped Benjamin, she did not want to take the initiative to attack Melissa. Instead, she frowned and asked, “Where is my man now?”

“Madam!”

Benjamin suddenly appeared behind Winnie.

Winnie turned her head quickly and saw the embarrassed and nervous Benjamin. She immediately stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and asked, “What did you do the whole night?”

Benjamin quickly pointed at Vincent and said, “It was him! He was the one who kidnapped me and brought me to the underground space of Bright Moon City. I spent the whole night with him!”

Winnie’s expression became very serious and she shouted in a deep voice, “Nonsense! How could anyone be able to travel between Serene Spring City and Bright Moon City in one night? You were clearly fooling around with that woman! As for this foreign race, you must have hired him to help cover up your tracks. Are you even worthy?”

Winnie became more agitated and her hand that was holding onto Benjamin’s collar also began to tighten gradually.

Benjamin found it hard to breathe, and his face turned red in an instant. He was unable to utter a single word.

He could only raise his hand and gesture to Vincent, asking him to explain the situation to Winnie immediately.

Vincent was shocked by Winnie’s ferocity, and immediately said, “You don’t have to torture him anymore! Every word he said is the truth! I have other witnesses too!”

Winnie turned around and glanced at Vincent. She frowned and said, “Who?”

Vincent raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A space door appeared beside him in an instant. Mcgee, who had not followed Vincent and Benjamin out all this time, stuck his head out of the door quietly and smiled at Winnie awkwardly.

“Mcgee?”

Winnie naturally knew the city lords from the surrounding cities. However, she could not understand why a dignified Dark Elf City Lord and her husband would actually follow Vincent around.

The reason why so many cities had sent troops to attack Serene Spring City was that they had received the oracle’s order to fight against the other races.

Yet, these Dark Elves that were supposed to be the most loyal believers of Gajero, could actually live in harmony with the other races. Winnie found it hard to accept such a scene.

Vincent waved to Mcgee and said softly, “City Lord Winnie has misunderstood Benjamin. Please come out and explain what we were doing last night!”

Mcgee walked out of the space door reluctantly and approached Winnie carefully. He was extra careful and made sure he kept his distance from her.

“City Lord Winnie, you’re worrying too much! Last night, a total of six city lords were gathered under Bright Moon City. This included Benjamin. We were all invited to Bright Moon City by Mr. Vincent to witness the underground space and dark history there! As for the specific details, please allow Benjamin to explain them to you. But I can assure you, there wasn’t a single woman there last night!”

Mcgee assured Winnie with a straight face.

Winnie frowned at Mcgee and said coldly, “Hmph! Don’t think that I don’t know what kind of Dark Elf you are. If I find out that you are helping Benjamin to lie to me, I will make you regret it for the rest of Your life!”

Mcgee immediately shrunk his neck when he heard that. He kept nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice. His attitude was completely different from the first time he met Vincent.

After Winnie received Mcgee’s guarantee, she finally let go of her hand that was grabbing onto Benjamin’s collar. She then pushed him to the side.

Winnie said to Benjamin in a low voice, “What exactly did you see in Bright Moon City last night? Tell me everything!”

At the same time, she gestured for Benjamin to answer her in private. This was because she still wanted to verify the same with Mcgee.

If there was any discrepancy between their stories, then she could tell that they were lying.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Benjamin coughed violently and quickly said to Winnie, “Ahem, no problem, madam! Wait until I catch my breath, then I’ll tell you everything!”

Winnie frowned unhappily and asked coldly in response, “Why? Do you still need time to prepare your lies?”

Benjamin took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in his throat. He said slowly, “No, madam! Listen to me, after we were invited to Bright Moon City last night…”

After listening to Benjamin’s story, Winnie’s expression gradually became serious. She no longer had the time to care about whether Benjamin had gone to bed with a woman the previous night. Instead, she began to think about whether everything that Benjamin had seen was real or fake.

If what had happened under Bright Moon City was real, then the ambitions and viciousness of the demons were self-evident. Their actions have been exposed to the city lords.

On the other hand, all of this could also be a trap set up by Vincent, in order to ease the pressure on Devil Flame City and Serene Spring City!

Winnie asked Benjamin, “You believe him just because he said so? Don’t you think it is possible that he just wants us to retreat?”

Benjamin looked at Vincent subconsciously and said with a helpless expression, “Retreat? If he really wanted to harm us, there will be no point for us to retreat! Before I came back, I had already wiped off the blood on my face. Otherwise, you would have seen how terrifying this person truly is. He is the one who personally killed the twelve apostles. He had also injured Alger severely under Bright Moon City. Mind you, Alger is someone who had already advanced to a level 41 creature! He is currently unable to walk on his own and needs to rely on Robin to carry him to Devil Sea City!”

After Winnie heard Benjamin’s description of Vincent, her eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light. She turned her head to look at Vincent with a face full of excitement.

Benjamin was greatly shocked by the scene and quickly said, “Madam, you must not! This person’s attacks are too terrifying, and it’s difficult to grasp his limits. Even if you have the desire to win at this time, you might be beaten to death by him!”

Winnie shook her head. She smiled and said, “The more you explain, the more I want to fight with such an expert! I was never convinced by the strength of those twelve apostles. Now, there is a strong person who can kill the apostles one after another. How can I miss such an opportunity?”

After hearing this, Benjamin immediately wanted to hug Winnie and stop her from provoking Vincent. However, he was pushed away by Winnie who was faster and more agile than him.

Winnie took the initiative to walk in front of Vincent and asked arrogantly, “Hey, I heard that you are very strong. Do you dare to fight me?”

Vincent glanced at Winnie and then at Benjamin who did not dare to go forward. He nodded helplessly and said, “Yes, but I must say it first, I will attack you hard!”

Winnie immediately took two steps back and raised her right arm high. The long sword that was stuck in the mud behind Melissa instantly flew back into her hand.

Winnie said with a determined look, “I don’t care how strong your attacks are, just don’t go easy on me! Otherwise, no matter who you are, I won’t let you off!”

Vincent spread his hands and nodded. He replied, “Alright, then I’ll do as you wish! I want to see if you’re better at using a long sword. I’ll compare my weapon with yours today!”

Vincent pulled out the Return Journey of the Dead from his waist.

The pitch-black blade looked big and heavy. It made Winnie feel as if she was facing a huge mountain.

“Great momentum! But on the battlefield, momentum alone is not enough!” said Winnie confidently to Vincent.

She then swung her sword and rushed toward Vincent.

“One strike from the Sky Demon!”

Even though she knew that Vincent had killed the twelve apostles and might have the ability to travel freely between Bright Moon City and Serene Spring City, she still did not believe that he was invincible.

Therefore, even if Vincent burst out with a huge aura, Winnie still wanted to fight him. She wanted to test whether Vincent’s strength was as strong and invincible as Benjamin had said!

Vincent looked at Winnie’s sword that was as fast as lightning. He did not retreat nor did he dodge. He raised his sword to meet the enemy. He aimed the tip of the sword that was about to reach him and stabbed forward.

“A pillar supporting the sky!”

When facing an opponent’s weapon, blocking and slashing diagonally were usually the smarter countermeasures. However, Vincent’s choice was beyond everyone’s expectations.

This was because a straight stab forward would not be able to defend against the straight stab that was coming toward him. The best outcome would be to stab the weapon in his hand into the opponent’s body. However, his body would also be pierced by the opponent’s lethal weapon at the same time. This was a completely life-and-death style of fighting.

“Please stop. This is too crazy!”

Benjamin, who was at the side, could not help but shout anxiously after seeing Vincent’s reaction.

However, neither Winnie nor Vincent listened to Benjamin’s call. It was as if they had directly blocked him out. They sped up and stabbed forward together.

“Bang!”

In a split second, Vincent’s blade and Winnie’s sword clashed in the air. Not only did they neutralize each other’s attack, but they had also used their arm strength and inertia at the same time. A few clear bolts of lightning appeared where the weapons clashed.

From this, it could be seen that both sides had used their full strength!

However, Winnie’s current situation was much more dangerous than it looked. Due to the disparity in strength, she was far from being a match for Vincent!

When the power of the longsword in Winnie’s hand was completely neutralized, the power from the Return Journey of the Dead continued. Winnie’s figure only stopped for a moment before she was sent flying by the huge impact. She raised her head and spat out a mouthful of blood. She then fell straight to the ground. The longsword in her hand had long been broken into countless pieces. They scattered onto the ground.

Benjamin saw this and quickly ran forward to catch Winnie who was falling. He asked with a worried look, “How is it? Are your injuries serious? I already told you not to provoke him, but you insist on fighting with him, hurry up and stop!”

“I will not die!” said Winnie.

Winnie lay in Benjamin’s arms. She raised her hand to wipe off the blood from the corner of her mouth. She stood up with difficulty and said to Vincent, “I have to admit, you are indeed very powerful. You even made me feel a little hopeless! From the looks of it, you do have the ability to kill twelve apostles in a row. You can also control six city lords and Benjamin in one night!”

Vincent nodded and said seriously, “Since it’s a misunderstanding, then it’s good to explain it clearly. I wonder what City Lord Winnie wants to do next?”

Winnie smiled and said very boldly, “Do you know if there’s alcohol in Serene Spring City? I want to take this opportunity to have a good chat with everyone!”
