Chapter 858: Temptation
Although the specific situation was not communicated with Akali, Rhodes could tell that Zai was very eager to win over Akali.
In previous conversations, Rhodes had learned about the delicate balance between the Shadow Stream and the Equilibrium Sect - although the Shadow Stream Sect was powerful, Shen was no match for himself after abandoning his personal feelings.
In this case, when it is learned that Akali has left the Equilibrium Sect, it is normal to run away to test or woo her.
Of course, if Akali can't be used for herself, it's normal to get rid of it - and as it stands, Akali clearly has no intention of joining the Shadow Stream.
Although he seemed to be unfazed by Akali's retorts, Rhodes did not dare to let his guard down in the slightest—the slightest relaxation of such an assassin would be fatal.
Especially for the catastrophe.
Rhodes, who is a person in the third life, often combs his memories, and when combing his memories, a large part of the part about the game in the first life has fallen into a blur, but the picture of the two calamities is still very clear, and every time Rod combs it out, he will sigh Mr. Yue's unluck and the sharpness of the volute.
And now, Rhodes is facing a real catastrophe.
No matter how cautious it is!
Interestingly, Rhodes' act of taking out his staff, although not by a large margin, was as if the referee had pulled the trigger of the starting pistol, announcing the beginning of the battle between the two sides.
"Sa-"
"Sa-"
The two figures immediately escaped into the shadows - Akali entered the shadows as a whole, while Zai quickly switched positions between the body, the shadows, and his own shadows with the help of the shadows, and attacked.
"Zheng—"
The blades in Akali and the robber's hands dissipated with a single touch, and a brief intersect of gold and iron exploded into a string of sparks, and the two returned to the shadows.
And judging by the magnitude of their readjustment...... Akali suffered a small loss.
At least in terms of direct strength, Akali is at the downside.
Although Akali is an adult, both her female body and agility-focused training make her lacking in frontal attackers.
When faced with ordinary targets, she can complete key ambushes through the concealment and shuttle of shadows - but when faced with a catastrophe, such ambushes seem to have no obvious effect.
The catastrophe can also escape into the shadows.
The Shadows are not attackable, nor can they actively cause damage - therefore, for combat, the role of the Shadows is to cover one's own surprise attacks, as well as to avoid the enemy's powerful counterattacks, and to control the rhythm.
But in the shadows it is not imperceptible - the strong will have a vague perception when facing the enemies who have escaped into the shadows, and although they cannot penetrate the barrier between reality and the shadows to deal a blow to the enemies in the shadows, they can be prepared.
And because he was also able to escape into the shadows, Akali's most effective assassination was no threat to him.
Soon, Akali and Zai entered the rhythm of the fight, although the two sides scurried between the shadows and reality, and the actions were even more dazzling, but there were few moves in the real sense of the fight.
But in these few encounters, Rod clearly perceived Akali's disadvantage.
Not only is Akali lacking in strength, but she is also not as strong as the Shadows!
You must know that although the Shadow Realm can be "invincible" for a short time, no one can stay in the Shadows for a long time, which means being expelled and exiled by reality!
Therefore, when Akali is fighting, she needs to show up and attack.
But the catastrophe is different, in addition to hiding in the shadows, he can also hide in his own shadow and even in the shadow of others, so that his "invincible" time is much longer than that of Akali.
And with that added a huge advantage in the frontal battle, Rhodes was almost certain that he would be able to completely suppress Akali in no time.
Sure enough, soon, in an exchange, Akali was unable to respond in time, and was slashed by the shadow of the robbery's sudden action.
Seeing this scene, Rod frowned - if Akali was unwilling to fight, it didn't seem difficult to slip away.
As mentioned earlier, for those in the shadows, the strong have a vague feeling, and this feeling is almost stronger the closer they get to themselves.
So, if Akali wanted to leave, she would just have to completely retreat into the shadows and move in a serpentine form - in that case, it would be difficult for Kari to determine her exact location.
"Alright, Akali, you're no match for him yet." Rod spoke dryly, "Let's go, I know you want revenge, but not now." ”
“…… You go first. Akali's response was simple, "You are innocent, you should not be implicated." ”
As he spoke, there was another wound.
"You see, your senseless kindness doesn't have a positive effect, it hurts you." The ethereal voice came from the shadows, "You should think more about yourself......"
This scene made Rod couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.
Apparently, Akali had misunderstood something - she seemed to think that she shouldn't be involved for no reason, so she wanted to drag Rhodes out of the way.
The heart is well-intentioned, but ...... This plane looks down on me too much, doesn't it?
Rod smiled, said no more, and directly slammed the staff in his hand to the ground.
"You seem to have some misunderstanding about me, huh?"
The azure arcane brilliance shone brightly, and within a radius of 100 meters centered on Rhodes, the law of gravity completely failed!
And in the battle, Akali and Zai lost control of their bodies directly because of the failure of gravity at the moment they broke away from the shadows!
Obviously, they just jumped forward, and the sharp blade in their hands stabbed forward, but because gravity failed, they were like rockets, and they flew directly into the air until they left the range of Rhodes' spell.
Originally, at the level of Akali and Zai, although it would be a little difficult to control the body in the face of the gravityless field, it should not be out of control to the point of rushing out nearly a hundred meters high - but because they were fighting each other, their attention was on each other, and Rod's spell was not chanted, and the two of them were directly hit without preparation.
Akali was okay - seeing that Rhodes wasn't aiming for herself, she was safely out of the gravityless field.
And the Doom is in trouble - under Rhodes' control, the Arcane Force Field is constantly changing parameters with him as a variable, and in this case, all of Kam's actions face considerable resistance.
In desperation, he chose to escape into the shadows and look for opportunities.
After all, the Arcane Force Field cannot affect the Calamity in the Shadows.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Rhodes had spent a lot of effort creating this arcane force field in order to allow him to escape into the shadows for a long time......
