Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

Vincent bent down to look at the figures that had appeared below him. His heart was instantly filled with shock.

There were actually living creatures in the abandoned well that was being used as a landfill. When were they thrown into the well, and what did they rely on to survive?

When he thought of the corpses that had been thrown into the filthy well as garbage, Vincent immediately felt a chill down his spine. At the same time, his curiosity drove him to continue approaching the bottom of the well.

When Vincent saw the faces of those figures clearly, his pupils contracted once again, and his heart trembled violently!

The figures living at the bottom of the well were actually six elves. They were abnormally tall, and their bodies were almost twice the size of an ordinary elf.

The elves consisted of six great elements apart from the Black Elves. There were huge locks hanging on their chests, arms, and thighs. The locks were connected to chains that went through their bodies.

The chains were buried deep into the surrounding walls. They were like wires that were continuously absorbing the energy from the bodies of the six elves. The light that Vincent saw from the ground previously came from above the heads of the six elves.

In Vincent’s eyes, there was a very powerful radiance above their heads. The radiance looked very sacred and inviolable as if it had a status that was higher than this world!

After seeing this, Vincent immediately guessed their identities.

They were the Elf Kings who had disappeared for a long time!

Vincent immediately opened the space door and walked out in large strides. He frowned after smelling the extremely stinky aura at the bottom of the well.

When the six Elf Kings saw Vincent suddenly appearing in front of them, they all surrounded him with shocked expressions. They asked nervously and strangely, “Who are you? What race are you? Why are you here?”

“Could it be that the Demon Race has been defeated and the Elf World has been invaded once again? What exactly are you planning to do?”

The six Elf Kings surrounded Vincent and questioned him aggressively.

Despite their angry expressions, their eyes were filled with exhaustion. They did not have the slightest bit of fighting spirit.

Vincent looked at the Elf Kings in front of him and said in a deep voice, “I came here to fight against Gajero. Currently, there is a portion of the elves that have united and are preparing to drive the demons out of the Elf World. I am an ally who helped the elves sneak into the Imperial City to steal information. You can trust me!”

The Elf Kings could not help but fall into silence when they heard that. They looked at Vincent quietly, as if they were struggling to figure out whether his words were true or false.

Vincent did not explain any further. He pulled out his Return Journey of the Dead and said with a smile, “This is not a good place to talk. I will help you remove the chains on your bodies. Let’s talk outside!”

Vincent then swung his sword at the crack on the wall.

However, when the blade and chains collided, not a single spark was created. Instead, it shook Vincent until he kept retreating. His hands that were holding onto the sword also felt numb. It was unbearable.

“What a tough chain!”

Vincent frowned and sighed. He put away his Return Journey of the Dead and stretched out his left hand, turning it into a golden long blade.

The greatest characteristic of the Return Journey of the Dead was its weight, not its sharpness. If he wanted to break the chains set up by the demons, his arm that could transform into a golden long blade was obviously more suited for the job.

The six Elf Kings could not help but widen their eyes and look at Vincent in shock. Their mouths opened and closed but they did not know what to say.

Vincent completely ignored their reactions and started to run. He then jumped high into the air and waved his left arm to strike the chain that was connected to the wall.

“Buzz!”

This time, the golden long blade finally made a sound. When the chain shook slightly, the Fire Elf King connected to the chain immediately collapsed to the ground. He was struggling in pain. He let out a mournful howl, “Ah! Kill me, quickly kill me, I can’t take it anymore!”

The Fire Elf King lay on the ground and roared non-stop. The other Elf Kings saw this and walked forward calmly to hold his hands and feet. It seemed like this was not the first time they had dealt with such a situation.

Vincent was stunned on the spot. He had a blank expression on his face. He did not expect the chains to have such a magical restriction. The chains could actually counterattack the elf who had been locked up the moment he tried to break him free. Therefore, Vincent was unable to continue his attempt to break the chains.

“It’s useless, don’t waste your energy! We have been locked in here for God knows how many years. We have already used all the methods possible, but we still can’t get rid of the chains on our bodies. After all, this is an array that Gajero had set up personally!”

The Thunder Elf King turned his head and sighed helplessly at Vincent. His tone was clearly much gentler.

This was because Vincent’s actions earlier proved that he really did not understand the demons and was very likely the demons’ enemy. To the elves, as long as the demons were his enemies, he could be considered their friends. Thus, Vincent was accepted by the other Elf Kings.

Vincent restored his left hand to its original state. He took out some healing medicine from his storage ring and stuff it into the mouth of the Fire Elf King.

Under the powerful recovery ability of the medicine, the Fire Elf King gradually stopped wailing. He opened his eyes weakly and nodded gratefully at Vincent.

Vincent sighed lightly and turned to ask the others, “You should be the six Elf Kings of the Elf Race, right? I don’t know if you were the Elf Kings who participated in the battle with Gajero back then or the Elf Kings who received the inheritance later on?”

The Elf Kings could not help but look desolate. They sighed deeply and said, “The Elf Kings who fought with Gajero were our teachers. The battle was too bitter. The Black Elf King died on the spot, and our teachers were also heavily injured. They were almost on the verge of death! In order to not let the faith of the Elf Race die off, our teachers used their last breaths to entrust the divine spark to us, hoping that we could shoulder the future of the Elf Race. However, we didn’t manage to do so. Not long after inheriting the divine spark, we were captured by Gajero. He wanted to obtain the divine spark from us, but he had lost too many treasures at that time, so he didn’t have the means to steal the divine spark away. Thus, he imprisoned us all here and used the spell array to extract the energy from our bodies. Until the day we can no longer bear the burden and die of natural causes, the divine spark on our bodies would also be imprisoned by these chains in the bottom of the well. They would then be picked up by the minions of Gajero!”

Vincent frowned slightly after hearing this because he knew that Gajero had already obtained the divine sparks of the Black Elf King at that time, and those so-called lost treasures should all be used to steal the divine spark of the Black Elf King. Therefore, Gajero, who had already obtained the divine spark, felt that it was not worth it to continue taking the divine sparks from other Elf Kings forcefully. It would even affect his speed to invade other worlds. Therefore, he thought of the torture of boiling a frog in warm water!

It had already been thousands of years since Gajero defeated the seven Elf Kings. How long the Elf Kings could last was a big worry for Vincent.

This was because the demons in the palace had personally said that the Elf Kings were not far from death!

Vincent raised his head to look at the six Elf Kings, who was disheveled, and asked worriedly, “Are your current conditions okay? Can you hold on until we think of a way to defeat the demons, destroy the array, and rescue you?”

The six Elf Kings looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

The Light Elf King sighed, “This chain from the array will continue to extract the elemental power in our bodies. All these years, we have only been able to extend our lives through constant cultivation. However, we are now too old, and the speed of our cultivation can no longer keep up with the speed of the energy extraction from the array. At most, we can hold on for another seven or eight days, and we will be at the end of our lives!”

Vincent lowered his head and thought for a moment. Even if he immediately charged into the palace with his blade, he might not be able to defeat the eight demons in seven days. As for the formation that Gajero had set up personally, he believed that even Justin, who was in his soul state, would not be able to break it. At that time, he would have to watch these Elf Kings die in vain, and the divine spark on their bodies would eventually be absorbed by Gajero’s array.

Vincent suddenly turned to look at the Elf Kings and asked with a serious expression, “Everyone, are you afraid of death?”

The six Elf Kings shook their heads together and said, “We are already in such a state, why would we be afraid of death? Moreover, we are sinners of the Elf Race. We did not lead the elves to restore our own world. Instead, we became prisoners and suffered the humiliation of the demons. Death is a relief for us!”

Only the Fire Elf King continued to sigh, “The only thing that makes us unwilling to die is that the Elf King’s divine spark cannot be passed down. We have been cultivating under this dirty well for thousands of years so that we can continue to respond to the prayers of the believers. We want the elves who want to rebel against Gajero to have something to rely on. But after we die, what will the Elf Race do?”

When Vincent saw that the six Elf Kings were all willing to face death, he immediately nodded and said, “As long as you are not afraid of death, then things will be easy! I will leave the Imperial City now and find some level 40 elves. I will then bring them here to accept your inherited divine spark. Wouldn’t you be able to preserve the faith of the Elf Race this way?”

With that, Vincent turned around and was prepared to leave.

“Wait!”

However, at that moment, the six Elf Kings stood up at the same time and called out to Vincent.

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

The Elf Kings hesitated for a long time before saying, “If we have a choice, we’d rather die than have you bring the other elves here!”
