Chapter 2: A Strange World

The faint glow on the top of the rock sprinkled on the earth, and under the dappled light and shadow, Rhodes with his bags appeared in the field of vision.

It is dangerous to wander alone in the Shadowlands.

It's better to go out hunting nearby, but if you travel far away, even if you don't lose your way, the beasts on the road and the tribe of thieves in the wilderness of the Shadow Realm are deadly.

These monsters are not the only ones who are dangerous in the wild.

Some weird bugs and plants can kill a clever professional.

Rod took a sip of the water in the bladder and carefully identified the direction.

The danger in the wild is deadly, and if it weren't for something that forced him, Rhodes, who cherished his life, would never go out hunting alone.

If a person wanders in the wild, he is either unrivaled in strength or looking for death.

"Alas!"

sighed deeply, this sigh was full of bitterness, distress, and confusion, and for a while Rod's heart was mixed.

"Properties Panel!"

Sensing that there was no danger nearby, Rod called silently in his heart.

A familiar image immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

……

"This attribute is simply miserable!"

Rod frowned, looked at the panel in front of him and fell into deep thought, although he had accepted the facts, but when he saw this miserable attribute panel again, he still couldn't help but sigh.

"Carrying the power of the Emperor's Covenant, as well as the sword of the Oath: Revoldin's sword soul blessing, this panel can reach the level of a basic professional!"

Such an attribute panel, placed in some big city-states in the Shadow Domain, it is already very good for a human to have such a panel attribute, but Rhodes is in a bad mood.

Thinking that he was a dignified generation of sword gods, the panel attributes back then were often thousands and hundreds, and his equipment was as good as the front steel of the gods.

Rhodes, the top ten professional sword players in "The Eve of the Holy War", has the reputation of "Four Series Sword Gods", and was once known as the "Three Musketeers in China" along with the "Black Light Sword Saint" and "Supreme Sword Emperor".

Speaking of which, I have to mention the game "Eve of Jihad".

"The Eve of Jihad", a virtual simulation game that has swept the world, draws on the essence of a variety of online games, gorgeous class system, complex hierarchy, a variety of weapons, etc., completely restore a real fantasy world, and its unique version of the story has been talked about. Each version of Eve of the Holy War takes the opportunity of a major event in the history of the world.

Before Rhodes' time travel, the version of "The Eve of the Holy War" could be updated to the later stage, and according to the official release, the final version of this game has not been updated.

This game uses regions such as [Shadow Domain], [Eastern Country], and [Realm of Void Ancestors] as the player's birthplace. In the middle of the game, major regions began to make formal contact, including the [Eastern Country] region where Rhodes is located, which was called "merging servers" in the era of online games.

Regional servers began to be unified, and players around the world officially contacted.

As a top-ranked player in China, Rhodes once formed a three-person team with the "Black Light Sword Saint" and "Supreme Sword Emperor" in the game event "Elwin Line", setting off a large-scale infighting called "National War" by players. The reasons for this brawl are very complicated, and for various reasons, some top domestic unions and masters did not make a move, which disappointed many players.

Originally, Rhodes didn't want to get involved in these things, but the good brother "Supreme Sword Emperor" was an angry young man in the second middle school, and at his invitation, the three of them formed a three-person team of all-swordsmen, almost sweeping the foreign masters in the "Erwin Line".

The reckless behavior of the Three Musketeers unexpectedly won the favor of many players, and it was also this move that made the three of them offend many people in the country, and the filthiness of all parties in it still makes Rod unforgettable.

"Alas, my "Revodin" has not yet slaughtered the gods! How did you cross over! ”

Thinking of the past, like a dream, Rod hatefully took a bite of the dry food he brought, which was a hard food that could be stoned.

God Butcher!

This was a big deal that Rhodes was working on before he crossed over.

The gods in "The Eve of the Holy War" exist, they are high, and the weakest gods are unpredictable. As the major events of the game progress, one version after another update has arrived, and the god is just a big boss in the end.

The magnificent plot in the later stages of the game kicks off the curtain on the players and the gods.

The four-line sword god Rhodes, he naturally has to deal with the gods, in fact, he has not slaughtered more than one god before he crosses.

Due to the development of the game's plot, an unprecedented disaster broke out in the main plane "Ash" of the entire "Holy War" world, and countless gods fell in this epic disaster plot.

It was a big disaster, and it was a big stage!

Gods, mortals, and players all perform the best stories on this stage.

In the endless astral plane, Ash is not the only life plane, but Ash is a rare and powerful plane, the kingdom of the gods, the mortal Ash continent, and the abyss of demons constitute the main body of Ash, and order and chaos are intertwined into a perfect balance. At some point, a wandering chaotic plane approached Ash, and that wandering plane was extremely powerful, and its arrival brought a great impact to Ash, and it was an incomparably terrifying plane.

It was because of that plane that the gods fell from their thrones.

The so-called "gods", of course, are high in the sky, although the players are special, but in their eyes they are just ants, the so-called "divinity" on their bodies is very uncomfortable, and some gods in the early days of the game caused a large-scale player death.

It was a terrible time.

Rhodes remembered that when the gods descended on the Ash continent in batches, an evil god casually smashed a medium-sized city, and the god directly slaughtered an entire region in order to purify his faith, and the overall strength of the players at that time had not kept up with the version. These powerful and chaotic gods caused great chaos in the continent of Ash at that time, and mortals were slaughtered like cattle and sheep.

It was the time of the gods!

It's also a dark time in the hearts of players!

Rhodes shudder to recall that gaming era, a virtual simulation of a time when Rhodes experienced first-hand that period of darkness and turmoil. He saw with his own eyes a demigod roaring and releasing his divine power, the mountains and rivers were pierced, and the rivers were evaporated, as if it were the end of the world, and Rhodes was just a legendary sword master at that time.

Many memories came back to me.

Looking up at this familiar environment, the dim but slightly magical scenery of the [Shadow Domain] made Rod come back to his senses. He realized that he was no longer the sword god who slaughtered gods and demons, he was now just a ninth-rate swordsman who was careful to survive.

Nineth-rate swordsman!

"Hehe," laughed self-deprecatingly, Rod looked around a little speechlessly, the ninth-rate swordsman is not terrible, Rod is confident that he can grow up, and the most terrible thing is that he is so good that he can not die to wear this [Shadow Domain].

This is the hardest hit area of the "Demon Realm Descending"!

That's right, the Demon Realm is that extremely powerful wandering plane.

In Rod's memory, the demons and evil gods from the abyss, as well as the celestial envoys of the gods, heroic spirits and mortal legendary powerhouses, are all fighting here, like the ancient black dragon who usually destroys the world and destroys the world, I heard that if it was thrown into the [Shadow Domain] in the later stage, it was shot to death without even turning a wave.

Before the Demon World came, that is, in the middle version of the plot of "The Eve of the Holy War", the forces from the Demon World were already quietly changing the world, and Rod clearly remembered that he had several important tasks that were to implicitly prompt the intervention of the forces of the Demon World.

Those story missions involve a huge conspiracy!

Including the later chapters of [Ragnarok], [Abyss Invasion] and other episodes, they are all part of this conspiracy.

Rhodes has personally experienced these plots, and now that he thinks about it, not to mention that he is currently a ninth-rate swordsman, even if the fourth-line sword god has returned to the peak, he may not be able to survive in the final chaos of the [Shadow Domain].

The thought of the worse and worse future made Rod's heart heavier and heavier.

But he glanced at the equipment shining with golden brilliance under the attribute panel, and his heavy heart couldn't help but lift a little.

[Glory: Sword of the Oath] (Sword Soul Status).

This is a big killer, Rod didn't expect that he would cross, and he didn't expect that the crossing benefit would actually be a big killer with him!

Sword of Oath: Revodin.

One of the strongest artifacts of the sword class, perhaps it should be called a "super artifact". It was made of four sword artifacts, and Rhodes was not only a sword god professional, but more importantly, he was also a legendary forger.

This artifact is a "super artifact" created by him with a lot of effort, for this weapon, Rhodes not only owes a lot of debt, but he has broken through the abyss and the kingdom of the gods, just to get enough materials.

This is a soul-bound piece of equipment.

Its strength can now be seen in the leopard, and Rhodes has not even reached the full level of the basic class now, but it has a legendary skill - the magic sword descends.

This magic sword advent skill is the one that Revodin comes with.

"Magic Sword Descending: Sword of Oath: An exclusive skill for Revodine (Sword Soul Status). By draining the wielder's experience points to channel part of Revodin's energy, the attributes of the enhanced sword weapon can be transformed. ”

Rod, who had once mastered the power of Revoldin, knew the strength of this move, and in his current state, it was a life-saving move.

Of course, the advent of the magic sword is currently only sealed.

However, it is fairly easy to break the initial seal.

……

The preconditions for Revodin's "Magic Sword Coming" flashed in his heart, and Rod sighed lightly and thought silently in his heart.

"Raise the civilian class level to level 10!"

A warm current rose in his body, and rows of familiar words emerged.

"64 points after deducting experience."

"Raise your base class level to max level."

"Gain access to the Magic Sword Descent. ”

Precondition for the advent of the magic sword: the basic class level is full.

Rhodes helplessly watched as the sealing state of the magic sword disappeared, although in this dangerous shadow domain, unsealing a powerful skill was simply a relief in disguise. But Rhodes knows very well that this skill is a complete experience-eater, and just raising a basic level will cost him most of his experience, and it will be a bottomless pit to use in the future.

Before he had time to feel the upgraded power, the howl of the beast in the distance interrupted Rhodes' thoughts, and he looked up at the light on the top of the rock, and he silently calculated in his heart that this point in time happened to be the "night" belonging to the Shadow Domain.

In the Shadow Domain, due to the high rock top, it is impossible to distinguish between "night" and "day" with the naked eye.

But the elemental power in the air will change with the alternation of day and night, at night, some elements begin to be active, some animals and plants can feel this elemental change, for example, at this time, the glow of the luminous plants on the top of the rock will be dimmed, and it is also because of this change, the terrible hunters will also become active at night, and the degree of danger in the wild at this time is several times higher.

Rhodes had to find a safe place to spend the night.

He wasn't so arrogant as to spend the night alone in the wilderness because of the base level increase.
