Chapter 442: Achilles of Chaos
The solution that my sister came up with was simple, but it was also very practical.
Rhodes does have a scene card in his hand, and it is also his only scene card -- [Casali at Night]. Originally, the nature of the scene cards was to pull enemies into the core world of the deck, just as a legendary powerhouse could pull enemies into his own realm, but not as oppressive. And now, what Rhodes has to do is to use his "permission" as a Void Dragon to grant the card [Casali at Night] a "real-world" identity. In fact, this is equivalent to recreating a whole new world, except that this world is only the size of a grassland. But for the situation at hand, it is enough. It may seem small, but at least it's a whole "world", isn't it?
However, this is not without its flaws.
According to his sister, if he really wants to completely destroy the Chaos Monster without leaving a trace of trouble, then Rhodes must not only completely defeat it in this scene card to prevent the other party from breaking through the boundaries of space and coming back. And he had to sacrifice the entire card completely -- which meant that Rhodes had to give up the only scenario card he had. And in this way, the strength of the Legion of the End will be weakened. But for Rhodes, it's a pretty good deal. The only pity is that after losing this card, the power of the Terminus will decrease, but considering the ensuing gains, Rhodes is not so regrettable.
Later, Rhodes also told the others a little bit about what he was going to do next. And Thomas, a group of scum who have no combat effectiveness at all, is naturally impossible to take with them to participate in the following battles. So Rhodes kept them, of course, although there are no major problems here at the moment, but that doesn't mean that there won't be problems in the future, just to be on the safe side. Rhodes still has to leave a few people to be responsible for cleaning up the aftermath, so the people who are left behind are naturally ...............
"Why!? Head! β
Little Bubblegum pursed her lips and looked at Rod disapprehantly.
"Why did you let me and my big sister stay, and instead let those two imposters go with you to brush the boss? It's not fair! β
"Ha, a little ghost is a little ghost!"
And before Bubble One could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bubble Two very contemptuously.
"Are you mistaken? Captain, this is for your own good. You are different from us, we are mirror images, and we can't die if we want to. But you're human, and if you hang up, you're doomed. You don't really think that this is still a game that can resurrect running corpses. The next battle is very dangerous, and you are not residents of the Dragon Soul Continent, so if you hang up the point, you can only go to the cemetery to reminisce about the rest of your life! β
"Cut ..................!!"
Hearing this, Little Bubblegum No. 1 gritted her teeth, of course she understood the truth. It's just that if the canary says it, it's nothing, but why is it so uncomfortable for the other person to say it?
Therefore, human beings can only see the problems and mistakes of others...............
"Drag what. You don't seem to be as great as me! β
"Oh? I'm so much more mature than you. And, there's a little bit of me that you absolutely can't compare! β
Hearing Bubble One's complaint, a smug expression appeared on Two's face, and she reached out and pressed her almost undulating chest, squinting her eyes and staring at her body triumphantly. And see her like this. Bubble One was even more upset, her eyes widening. Glaring at himself dissatisfiedly. Feeling the other party's gaze, Bubble Two showed an extremely pleasant smile, as if he was sure that he was the ultimate winner, which made Bubble One more and more unhappy. But just as Bubble One's anger reached its peak, she still showed a smug smile and then spoke.
"Me. But how about having done it with the head of the regiment? Am I not better than you? β
"What !!"
Hearing this, Bubble One's eyes widened, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at Rhodes who was standing next to her. The canary on the other side also looked at Rhodes with a slightly surprised gaze. As for Lydia and Irene. They didn't have a special reaction to this, after all, the customs of the Dragon Soul Continent were different from those of the earth, and it was normal for a nobleman like Rhodes to have a few concubines or something. And although on Earth, according to the law, little bubblegum is considered a crime at this age. But on the side of the Dragon Soul Continent, it is basically the age of legal marriage. But even so, the two of them looked at the scene in front of them with interest, which shows that no matter which world women are, their gossip talent is definitely full.
"Uh..............."
Feeling the gaze of everyone, Rod was slightly embarrassed, but soon he coughed, then turned his head to look at the sky, and whistled.
"Where is the spring, where is the spring......... Spring ..............."
"Commander, you don't want me to be this impostor!
Little Bubblegum angrily interrupted Rod's whistle, and in the face of Little Bubblegum's questioning, Rod could only look at the sky speechlessly, turning around and pretending that he didn't know anything. This kind of thing is to say that there are many mistakes, and there is no reason for a woman at this time to talk about it, and whatever you say is an excuse in her opinion. Not to mention that it was still a little bubblegum kind of middle two, so he had to pretend that he didn't hear anything, and instead turned around and signaled to start the battle - fortunately, Thomas and the others had already been thrown aside, and he didn't hear what they were talking about.
"Humph!!"
Looking indignantly at the figure of Rhodes and his party in the distance, the little bubblegum stomped his feet unhappily and clenched his fists. And it was only then that the canary stepped forward with a wry smile and reached out to hold Bubbles' shoulder.
"Okay, Bubbles, don't be so angry, you know Rod didn't mean that."
"I know, but I'm just upset............ Hmph, for now I'm focusing on the big picture, but when it's all over, I'll definitely ask the head of the regiment to give me an explanation! β
As she said indignantly, Little Bubblegum glanced at the figures of the people who had disappeared into the dark shadows in the depths of the square, then raised her hands, and then raised her middle finger.
"Commander, you idiot!!"
"Ahh
Rod shuddered. Then he sneezed hard. Then he rubbed his nose, and at this time, Lydia's delicate and beautiful face appeared in front of his eyes. At this moment, she was looking at herself curiously with an elegant and playful smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, your reaction just now is not a gentleman at all."
"Now is not the time to talk about this, Your Highness Lydia. Wait until you have time later. I'll show you my 'gentleman' side. As he spoke, Rod looked into Lydia's eyes. Lydia, on the other hand, shrugged her shoulders, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, turned around with a strange smile, and continued to walk forward.
After passing through the frozen square, the journey of the crowd did not end there. What unfolded in front of them at this moment was a dark and deep staircase. The dark magic crystals on either side of the wall emitted a turquoise glow, but they couldn't dispel the deep darkness at the end of the staircase. Just standing there and looking down, you can feel a chill that goes deep into your bones. That's not from the outside. Rather, it comes from the depths of the soul, and the instinctive reaction of human beings when they sense something abnormal.
"Your Majesty Rod?"
"It's down here."
Looking at the staircase in front of him, Rod took a deep breath, and then he looked at everyone seriously, especially Lydia and Irene.
"Remember, this Chaos Monster is nothing like what we've faced before, and from what I've seen, it's not just powerful. And its form is very elusive. It's like a cloud of mist, and not only that. It also manipulates purple lightning, and is even able to use this to erode the beings it hits. Therefore, we must turn on the protection with all our might, from the beginning to the end of the battle, we must not stop protecting ourselves, and we must never take risks. Do you understand? β
Hearing Rod's words, the crowd didn't say much. Instead, he nodded quickly. After making sure there were no problems, Rhodes turned around, looked at the stairs in front of him, and took a light breath.
"Let's go."
Subsequently, he gave the order.
The staircase in front of me was still dim. As everyone deepened, the dark fog in front of them became thicker and thicker, and even if Lydia and Little Bubblegum summoned dazzling divine light, they could only dispel the dense fog in front of them. Along the way, they were never attacked from the darkness as before, but that didn't mean they didn't know anything about their arrival. On the contrary, everyone could feel that a strange and evil, tyrannical gaze was shooting out of the darkness and enveloping them. And now they seemed to be about to meet a king in public, the heavy atmosphere around them became thicker and thicker, and from the depths of the originally peaceful darkness, there was a strange roar.
Here it is.
Rod stopped, he looked up, and looked at the huge stone slab in front of him, which was more than five meters long and more than three meters high. Unlike other stone doors, this one is covered with thigh-thick, crystal clear ice crystal chains. In a flash, a clear and translucent magical aura emerged from it, flickering, indicating that they were the existence of the monster inside.
Rhodes raised his hand, and then the palm of his right hand moved slightly, and soon, a card appeared in his palm. At the same time, in front of Rod's eyes, a line of system prompts quickly flashed.
[Scene Magic Card Detected - Casali at Night]
[Activate Void Authority -- Designation Target, Casali at Night]
With the emergence of these two lines of system text, the card in Rod's hand suddenly began to tremble rapidly, and on its deck, the originally static scenery began to flow rapidly. The sun rises, shines on the grassland in front of you, and then sets. Then a silver moon emerged from it, enveloping the earth with a soft glowβand at this moment, the cards in front of me seemed to be playing a cycle of a day. And Rod can also feel that a wonderful feeling is emerging from the depths of his heart, that is, as if he is playing a simulation construction game, watching the empty land in front of him begin to grow from nothing, from desolation to prosperity, from an empty desert wasteland to a grassland and forest with fertile water and grass. The sky is separated from the earth, and light and darkness are restored......... This is the beginning of a world, and it will be the end of a world.
"Hoo ..............."
After a few moments, Rhodes finally came to his senses, and he quietly stared at the card in his hand. Although until the permission is launched to the completion. It was less than a minute, but Rhodes felt as if thousands of years had passed. He finally understood now why the Creation Five Dragons were trying to find a suitable space at all costs. Rod just added space to an illusory space to make it materialize and separate, and he felt that the relationship between this small world and himself was like the relationship between parents and children, if Rod didn't have any idea about sacrificing this card before. Well now. He was even a little reluctant. Even if he is "cutting corners" like this, then you can imagine what kind of mood the Creation Five Dragons had when they did their best to build the Dragon Soul Continent.
Let's go.
Thinking of this, Rod gathered his thoughts, threw the deep melancholy in his heart to the back of his mind, and then, he raised the card.
"Smack!!"
At the same time that Rod raised his hand, the card in his hand suddenly shattered completely. Then everyone saw the fragments spread out rapidly, and then golden magical light emerged from the fragments and connected into one.
It's just an instant, and the environment changes abruptly
The hard, flat stone slabs beneath his feet turned into soft grass, and the walls on either side were gone, and as far as the eye could see, only the vast horizon could be seen. And on top of the multitude. It's no longer the oppressive ceiling, it's the blue sky -- you can see it if you look closely. At the east and west ends, the silvery moon and the bright red sunset appear at the same time, bringing a bit of strange scenery to this beautiful grassland.
And this is also Rod's masterpiece, of course, the reason why it is set this way is to use the two most powerful helpers around him. Lydia and Irene, who have both the Sun and the Moon, will also take over this authority in this world. And then the battle will be much simpler.
And their enemies, right ahead.
Rhodes looked up, and saw a huge building on the plain not far in front of them. The chain-wrapped sarcophagus lay there quietly, a thick black mist hovering incessantly, trying to break free from the chains of ice crystals. And at this moment, it seems to realize that it has been sent to another world, and it struggles harder and harder.
"Knock, knock!!"
Heavy thuds erupted from the lid of the coffin, and the glow of the chains of ice crystals was fading. Because Rhodes was isolating the entire sarcophagus from the world, the Ice Crystal Chains also lost their original source of power. They are gradually becoming weaker, and Rhodes also knows very well that if he has no way to kill the other party, then once this place collapses, then Rhodes and the others are faced with only two choices to take - either destroy with this world, or return to the original world, and then be resealed by Marybell's "non-discrimination".
But unfortunately, neither of these endings was what Rhodes wanted.
"Get ready, guys. Canary, unfold the Elemental Enchantment! Bubbles, keep the Sacred Guardian Realm and the Single Shield. Her Royal Highness Lydia, Her Highness Irene. Remember, everybody, don't touch each other personally! β
"Boom !!"
At the same time that Rhodes quickly gave the order, he saw that the ice crystal chains that originally bound the sarcophagus were completely shattered, and then, the thick and dark mist burst out from the huge sarcophagus as tall as a skyscraper, and they spread violently, and for a time even covered the sky and the sun, and even the entire sky was covered by them. Soon, the otherwise cool night breeze began to get icy. The green grass began to dry up -- everything seemed to be a repetition of what Rhodes had experienced before!
"Boom Boom ............!!"
The dense dark clouds began to roll, thunder emerged from them, Rhodes reached out his hand, and soon, a holy sword shining with silver light appeared in his hand. At the same time, Canary, Little Bubblegum, Lydia and Irene also shot separately. With the flash of colorful magical brilliance, the dark clouds that had been expanding towards the surroundings suddenly shrank, and then quickly shrank back. Soon, the sky, which had been shielded by dark mist, returned to its original calm. The dark mist quickly condensed outside the sarcophagus, forming a huge human form, and then, a dull voice rang out.
"Order............... The lackeys ..................!! β
With this curse-like roar, the dark mist condensed and rolled more and more, and the facial features gradually appeared on the originally empty face. Glowing purple thunder emerged from the cracks in the dark clouds, gradually intensifying, and lightning erupted from them, shooting towards the surrounding area. Luckily, the lightning didn't penetrate everyone's protection. And at this time, the giant also seemed to have discovered the existence of Rhodes and others, and his eyes were full of thunder.
"The ............ of order Minion!! Kill............!! β
"Do it!"
And at this moment, Rod no longer hesitated, he raised his long sword high and gave the order. The next moment, dazzling sword light turned into stars, leaped through the air, and shot towards the giant in front of him.
The battle begins. (To be continued......)
