Chapter 597: Meeting on a Narrow Path

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Vincent knew that the Moon Association must have planned an attack on them. 

They must have come to seek revenge for Adrian who had died in the auction house.

This was especially after Vincent had given Hans permission to pass the news to the Moon Association to avoid responsibility. This way, the Moon Association would have a reasonable excuse to invade the Inn!

Vincent had just left the Inn’s Black Hole, and he had already faced his first obstacle. 

Vincent could see a long chain and a very huge pincer foot in front of him. It was the typical attack method of the Ghost Bugs. 

Vincent subconsciously raised his hand to hold the hilt of the knife by his waist. His gaze was fixed on the other end of the pincer foot that was connected to the depths of the darkness. He was ready to have a head-on confrontation with this creature who had ambushed him.

Ever since his encounter with the blood pool, Vincent felt that his strength had increased once again. He needed the battle to test his strength. 

However, at that moment, Charlotte, who had been following behind Vincent the entire time, suddenly shouted, “Protect the leader!”

Immediately after that, five figures instantly appeared in front of Vincent. Even Edward, who only had the strength of a level 30 creature stood firmly in front of Vincent.

When Vincent saw this, he could not be bothered with the pincers that were about to come over. He quickly released his right hand that was holding onto his knife and pulled Edward behind him.

Vincent turned his head and said sternly to Edward, “You are responsible for providing information. Why are you rushing in front at this time? If you die in the battle, it will be an irreparable loss for my team!”

Edward appeared to be very embarrassed, and he said softly, “Thank you for your kindness, but since I’ve accepted your mission, I must be responsible for your safety. Dying before the leader is the responsibility of every wanderer!”

Vincent replied unhappily, “Don’t worry. I won’t die facing such a simple sneak attack!”

Edward did not say anything else. He just stood obediently behind Vincent.

Vincent withdrew his hand and continued to look at the four individuals in front of him calmly. Although Edward looked like he was from the same race as the Ultimate Evil Lord, his personality was a little too shy. It was impossible to associate him with the Ultimate Evil Lord. 

At that moment, the extremely long pincer foot had arrived in front of the group. Richard, who was standing at the front of the group instantly transformed his hands into a huge shield to block the pincer foot. Countless vines grew on the shield. 

His defense method was the same. After the pincer foot struck the vine shield, it could not be pulled out again. Instead, it was tightly bounded by numerous wild vines and was frozen in the air, unable to move.

Charlotte, who was standing beside Richard, roared, “Break!”

She reached out her hand and directly sliced the pincer foot. The pincer foot, which was originally emitting a metallic luster and looked indestructible, was split into two by Charlotte in an instant.

A large amount of black blood flowed out from its wound. It even started burning on the ground and produced waves of green smoke. The black blood seemed to have very terrifying toxicity.

Charlotte and Richard did not immediately relax after successfully destroying one of the pincers. On the contrary, they seemed to be looking forward to more action. 

“Quinn, prepare to set up an array! Boris, check the surrounding terrain and prepare to leave with the leader at any time. Richard and I will hold off the opponent here first!”

Charlotte gave the orders calmly to the members behind her. She had the demeanor of an absolute leader.

The other members of the Wanderers Association seemed to be used to receiving orders from a venerable. They immediately went into battle mode and prepared for battle according to Charlotte’s order.

Boris, who was silent and always on guard against Vincent, soon walked in front of Vincent. He stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Vincent’s arm and pull him back.

However, Vincent calmly pulled his arm away and said softly, “I’m not going anywhere! Because the direction they’re coming from is the direction that we’re going!”

Boris looked troubled upon hearing that. He wanted to open his mouth to persuade Vincent to leave with him. However, when he saw the dragon egg in Vincent’s left hand, he could not help but retreat silently. He did not dare to say another word to Vincent.

Charlotte naturally overheard Vincent’s words. However, as a member of the team, she could not go against her leader’s wishes. She had no choice but to shout at the dark area in front of her, “I am Charlotte from the Wanderers Association! Since a friend of the Wanderers Association is here, why don’t you show yourself?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a black shadow instantly emerged from the darkness and walked toward Charlotte with heavy steps. His appearance and aura were almost identical to Adrian, who had died in the auction hall. It was just that the individual seemed to be stronger and older than Adrian.

“Charlotte the Berserker! Richard of the Wood Spirit Race! You are the same as that detestable dragon. You are the culprits who killed my son. Today, I have brought the Moon Association to completely raze the Inn to the ground and avenge my dead child!”

The powerful Ghost Bug walked over and spoke in a deep voice. Every word he uttered sounded like an explosion in the air, causing both Charlotte and Richard’s expressions to turn solemn.

Charlotte looked at Todd and quickly explained politely, “So it’s President Todd. I’m afraid there has been some misunderstanding. We acted at the auction house to protect the members of the Wanderers Association. We did not intend to kill Adrian! As for why Mr. Randall would kill Adrian, we don’t know the reason either. But I don’t think you should blame all the residents at the Inn, right?”

Todd only sneered when he heard that. He replied arrogantly, “But I just want to blame this hatred on everyone at the Inn. What can you do to me? So what if you are one of them bullsh*t venerables? They are just a bunch of trash who have just reached level 60! I have the strength of a level 70 creature. If it wasn’t for the sake of the Wanderers Association, I would have killed the two of you long ago to help my Moon Association’s operation!”

When Charlotte and Richard heard that, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. The pressure Todd gave off was too strong. Fortunately, they could tell from his tone that he did not want to destroy the relationship between the Moon Association and the Wanderers Association. That was why Charlotte and Richard did not immediately turn around and leave with everyone.

However, at that moment, Vincent suddenly said, “But your son’s death is indeed related to the two of them! And the ones who wanted to kill your son are me and Randall! So if you don’t take revenge on us today, then there’s no reason for you to invade the Inn again!”
