Chapter 147: The Bloodstained Sword
The dazzling, bright red pillar of light rose into the sky, and for a while, the air of the entire Blood Land was shaken, and at the same time, Rhodes felt a strong, pure aura suddenly appeared out of thin air, and even the originally noisy battlefield suddenly became quiet at this moment.
It was such a pure desire to kill, to destroy and to destroy, as distinct as an unsheathed blade, emitting a cold and cold light while declaring to the world that its existence was the only purpose, to destroy, to kill, to destroy. Just being skipped by that breath is enough to make people feel a chill in their hearts, as if someone is holding a sword against their back, and in the next moment, the cold blade will mercilessly pierce into the body, cut through the skin, penetrate the heart, and then destroy their existence in the most cruel, simple, and terrible way.
"Damn it."
Rhodes' hand holding the long sword couldn't help but clench hard, it was the first time he felt such a terrifying and pure aura, there was not even the slightest killing intent in this breath, and there was no hostility specifically aimed at something, but simple, just wanting to kill, wanting to destroyβββ this kind of thing can also be regarded as the elf of the holy sword card? Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but have a headache, he could imagine that if he accepted such a card, then his next days would not be easy.........
The aura was so strong that even the battle-hardened Elven Bow Knights of the Moon Shadow Blade gave up on the enemy in front of them for a while, and looked vigilantly at the direction of the red pillar of light erupting. The demons reacted even more violently, and they even roared angrily and gave up the object of the battle, turned around and launched a unified attack towards the place where the red pillar of light was. This is a very rare manifestation for demons with chaotic natures to be able to make them spontaneously do one thing at the same time.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, Rhodes also reacted quickly, and the demons around him were still "refreshing". But more demons have given up attacking Rhodes at the moment, and instead turned to the direction of the red pillar of light, and Rhodes naturally did not take this opportunity to escape or stand by and watch the play, taking advantage of its illness to kill it is the most correct choice at this moment, since that group of idiot demons so generously left their backs to themselves, so if they don't accept this gift, wouldn't they be too sorry for their kindness?
"All offense! Kill all these damned demons! β
Accompanied by Rod's order. The elven bow knights who were still trembling with the demons just now also quickly gathered, and in the blink of an eye, they formed an inverted triangle formation centered on Rod, and behind them, Rashty stood there quietly, the girl in the robes raised the tin staff high, and with her movements, the squatting or fighting bow knights also raised the longbow in their hands and aimed ahead. Soon, a bright light emerged from the tin staff, and the longbows of the archers unfurled in all directions.
And in the next moment............... The boundless waves of light roared and enveloped the entire land of blood.
Hundreds of arrows of light pierced the air, tearing apart the enemy in front of them with ease, piercing through countless demons in an instant, and the pale blue flames burned and rushed outward, just the blink of an eye. Most of the demons that had gathered around everyone had been wiped out, and even the stinking blood that had flowed to the ground had been swallowed up by the blue flames. In a short time, most of the demons have been destroyed.
"You come with me, and the others continue to fight."
This fierce blow also temporarily cleared the path between Rhodes and the red pillar of light, so Rhodes quickly gave the order, and then he took Anne and Rasti and the more than twenty archers in front of him to quickly move forward, while the other archers also quickly gathered and began to sweep the demons around them who had regained their reaction due to the attack.
But Rod didn't expect it. I haven't found the door yet, but the other party has already delivered the door.
Just as Rod was about to come to the pillar of light, suddenly, a shiver and nervousness instantly forced him to stop, and then Rod did not hesitate at all. Instead, he instinctively raised the long sword in his hand and crossed it in front of him, which had nothing to do with experience and judgment, it was completely the instinct that had experienced countless battles on the battlefield at this moment without authorization and crossed the inference of the brain and directly manipulated his body.
At the same time, danger also appeared in front of Rhodes in a materialized form.
Just as Rod's sword was raised, the encirclement originally formed by the demons was suddenly torn apart, and a galloping red light burst out of the encirclement like a hurricane, and rushed madly towards Rhodes in front of him. And in the face of this sudden attack, Rod was also stunned, but he still hurriedly reacted, just in the blink of an eye, I saw Rod clench the long sword in his hand, and poured all his soul power into it without reservation, and soon, a translucent, shining soul light shield appeared on Rode's body. And almost at the same time, the flash of bright red had also come to Rod's face.
"Boom !!"
When Rod came back to his senses, he had already flown into the air, and the scenery in front of him was flying backwards, and the sound of the entire world seemed to be completely blocked at this moment, it seemed so quiet, and it was only a moment's work, and the sound came back again when the mountains and seas were overwhelming.
"Captain!"
With Anne's scream, Rhodes only felt as if he had hit something soft, and then he barely stopped, and when he finally stood up, he found that Anne was leaning behind him, the girl gritted her teeth, her face was pale, and the adamantite gold shield she was holding before had already been thrown aside. Seeing Rhodes stand up, Anne let out a sigh of relief.
"Whew............ Commander, you really didn't scare me to death, you're okay. β
"I'm okay........."
Rod replied to Annie's inquiry in a low voice, but in fact, Rod was also secretly shocked, knowing that although the blow just now caused him to respond in a hurry because of the suddenness of the incident, but at that time Rod had already triggered his passive defense talent [Spirit Armor LV3], not only that, but Rod also poured all the soul power he could deploy into the weapon in his hand to form a soul shield to resist the opponent's attack. But even in this state, he was still knocked away by the other party, and he had to rely on Anne to barely stabilize his body, not only that, but Rod also found that his right hand holding the nightmare was so numb that he could hardly feel any touch!
Holy Soul is on it, this Holy Sword card is a little cheating!
Grit your teeth. Rod couldn't help but whisper in the depths of his heart, the last time he was so embarrassed was when he was fighting against the Demon Grand Duke, but even the Demon Grand Duke didn't make his arm numb with just one blow, and at that time he was only about level forty, and now he has stepped into the legendary realm! Coupled with that mysterious and strange bloodline, Rod's strength is not comparable to ordinary people, and he will actually be knocked away with one blow? The power of this holy sword card is a bit out of the charts.
But when Rod looked up. When he saw the true identity of the red light that attacked him, even he couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that right in front of Rod's eyes, on the mountain of corpses piled up by hundreds of demons, there was a man standing at this moment, he was wearing a standard armor that looked like only soldiers in the army, and he looked up at himself with a pale face. But with just one glance, Rhodes could tell that it wasn't human.
Because that's being torn apart. The body that has been cracked by gnawing, and the internal organs of different colors overflowing from the hollow abdominal cavity. and the "severe" arms and shoulders, if he hadn't stood there upright, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this person was still alive. But the strange thing is that since he really stood there like this, not only that, but in his body. The blood was slowly flowing outward, but in fact, if it continued like this, I am afraid that it would only take a few tens of seconds for his body to flow no more blood.
However, it was more important for Rhodes to pay attention. It was the bright red greatsword he held in his hand.
The sword was more than two meters long, and the huge blade was completely made of some kind of bright red material, and the golden patterns could be seen on the body of this huge two-handed sword, which spread out like waves along the blade, forming a wonderful, gorgeous and strange pattern. What's even more weird is that this sword obviously looks like it's going to be dead, but the man actually holds it in one hand, as if it doesn't feel heavy at all. Not only that, but in the hilt of the sword, several thick chains could be seen sticking out of the cage hand, wrapped around the man's right arm, and from the unnatural bulge under the man's arm, it could be seen that these chains had even penetrated directly through the skin and had penetrated deeply into his body.
But at this time, suddenly, there were several exclamations from Rod's side.
"Captain!"
"What's going on? How did you end up like this? β
"You know him?"
Hearing the shout, Rhodes turned his head with some curiosity, only to see that not far from him, the soldiers of the patrol were staring at the man in front of him in surprise at the moment, their eyes widened, obviously unable to accept this fact. Hearing Rod's inquiry, the man in the lead swallowed his saliva and reluctantly nodded.
"Yes, my lord, that man used to be our captain, and the reason why we came with you this time is to find him, but............ How did he become like this..............."
"Is that sword his, too?"
Rhodes wasn't interested in the man's background, for him, the sword was the most important thing.
"No, the sword......... It was the captain when he was patrolling the Abyss before......... I heard he found it somewhere, yes! That sword must be a demon's curse! Since finding that sword, the captain seems to have changed as a different person, and he has been in a state of mind all day long, and even ran into the land of blood without permission! If it weren't for the sword..............."
"I know."
Rhodes interrupted the other party's speech, and now he finally understood that this sword might be more troublesome than the nightmare in his hand, although he also knew that most of the people who were eligible to enter the holy sword card were not fuel-efficient lamps, but it was the first time that Rode, the holy sword card elf who was perverted to such an extent, had seen it. He raised the nightmare in his hand, and then activated the soul power, and soon, Rod felt the familiar aura.
"Celestina, are you alive?"
"You're not, master."
Soon, Rhodes got an impatient answer from Celestina.
"How much do you know about this summoning elf?"
"If you want to say that you understand, you also understand, but your luck is really bad, master. If you just run into Herose, you're unlucky. Now that the third sister is gone, no one here can bring her down, you can only ask for more blessings. Although Heros still sells some face to Sister Greyhill and Sister Madaras, if you want her to be obedient, you should do it yourself. β
"Giggle...............!!"
At the same time that Rhodes and Celestina were having a soul exchange. Suddenly, the man standing on the mountain of corpses let out a strange laugh, that kind of laughter is neither a man nor a woman, not like an old man or a child, strange and low, and does not even need any keen nerves, as long as the person present, who has a rational life, can feel the confusion and madness in it. And what came after this strange laughter was a crisp and beautiful sound. A beautiful girl's voice like a stream flowing.
"I've found you, Selestina, my lovely sister, why are you here? Want to play with your sister? It's really a coquettish sister.,There's really nothing I can do with you.γ What are you going to do if I win this time? Are you ready? Have you already decided? Want your sister's reward? What a greedy child, this time my sister will be very gentle and gentle with you, right? β
"I'll never have my wings chopped off by you again!"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Rod suddenly felt that it might be a very bad idea for him to take out the nightmare, and wondered if it was too late for Lu Dao to be replaced by Celia now............ It was evident from Celestina's angry voice. She must have lost to the Holy Sword Elf named Hiroth in front of her before.
And more than once.
βββββββοΌοΌβ
But this is not the time to chat, right now. Perhaps unwilling to be ignored, or unable to endure the strange murderous aura any longer, a demon pounced with a roar, its hands raised high, and the burning flames erupted from its palms, and the demon opened its bloody mouth. Pounced on the prey in front of him. However, it did not expect that it would face a battle more brutal than death.
"Huh!"
At the moment when the tall demon pounced on him, he saw that the huge bright red sword suddenly shone brightly. Immediately afterwards, I saw that the man who was already in tatters all over his body suddenly flashed to the side with agility that was completely inconsistent with his current physical state, and then saw a bright red crescent moon slash down, and then I saw that the giant sword cut off the demon's left hand as easily as if cutting a cake, and suddenly the demon who was hit hard by this suddenly howled angrily, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the prey in front of him. But at this time, a change occurred.
The chain that was originally tied to the man's right arm suddenly exploded, as if it had self-consciousness and flew towards the sky, and then the hard black iron chain easily bound the demon's body, and then the man just pulled it slightly, and saw that the demon who was originally in the air was pulled directly to the ground with a "boom", but this was only the beginning of its tragic fate, because when the unlucky demon raised its head, the only thing it saw, It was a black shadow that appeared in front of him.
"Poof."
Without the slightest hesitation, the man reversed the giant sword in his hand, and then directly smashed the demon's head with the hilt, the hard and black skull was dented like a broken egg, and a fishy and strange liquid spurted out of it, spilling all over the man's body, but he didn't care about it, instead, the man smiled and raised the giant sword in his hand and smashed it down again.
"Boom!!"
The huge force exploded, blasting away the other three demons who were trying to sneak attack, and at this time, the man slowly stood up, he turned to look at Rhodes again, not caring about his body stained with disgusting demon blood and flesh, and cracked open the mouth where half of the chin had been corroded by demonic blood, and an ugly smile that made people frightening.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Celestina, I don't think I'll be like that with that sword. β
"Do you regret it now? Do you think you have any other choice? β
"I'm just asking."
Although the other party didn't say a word, when Rhodes raised his sword from the other party and pointed it at himself, he understood the meaning of the holy sword elf in front of himβββ If you want to be my master, then go through my test first."
"Annie, Rasti, you take the others to sweep away the demons next to you, and this guy will be handed over to me."
"Okay, regimental commander, come on."
Hearing Rod's order, Anne glanced at the man curiously, and then patted Rod on the shoulder. Rashtie, on the other hand, quietly took a half-step back and bowed slightly to Rod.
"Understood, my lord."
Rhodes raised his sword and quietly stared at the enemy in front of him. He walked slowly, slowly. However, Rod's eyes did not look at the man, but at the bright red giant sword in his hand, from the battle between the man and the demon just now, Rod had already noticed that the man (or directly the corpse) was completely a puppet puppet manipulated by the giant sword, and it was meaningless to try to analyze the other party's next move from his movements. In that case, we can only judge by our own experience.
Rhodes stared at the bright red giant sword, at this moment he had raised his senses to an unprecedented height, the surrounding demons and the battle of the archers had been completely blocked out by him, the summoning elf in front of him was very violent, and quite powerful, Rhodes was sure that if he was distracted, then he would be defeated immediately, as for whether he could survive, it depended on whether the other party could show mercy.
However, in connection with the battle just now, Rhodes felt that even if the other party's subordinates showed mercy, I am afraid it would be limited............ It's better to be on your own.
A flash of red light.
At the same time that Rod saw the red light shining, a strong sense of fear and tremor instantly filled his body, and he stepped back almost without hesitation, and then, a strong impact suddenly erupted in front of Rode, the dust scattered, and a strong shock wave rushed towards his face. Rod, on the other hand, turned sideways and pushed forward with the pitch-black sword in his hand.
βββββββοΌοΌβ
With the sound of friction, the bright red giant blade that emerged from the dust flashed against the pitch-black long sword, and a series of bright sparks appeared in the air, and Rhodes took half a step back, and then his whole body shook and disappeared into the dark shadows. And at the moment when Rhodes disappeared, a red light "boomed" across the rock where Rhodes' shadow was, completely splitting the huge stone in two.
The smoke and dust cleared, and the surroundings were calm for a while, and the man with the giant sword in his hand stood there in a daze, as if he was thinking about the next step.
And at this time, the pitch-black poisonous snake came leisurely.
"Bell !!"
Seeing that the sharp teeth of the pitch-black viper were about to bite the target, the man suddenly turned around, and the huge two-handed sword in his hand slashed down, slashing the nightmare that had turned into a chain sword to the side, and then the man suddenly rushed forward, holding the bright red giant sword in his hand and pounced on Rhodes, who appeared behind him at some point.
Now is the time!
Facing the strong sword aura that rushed to his face, Rhodes took half a step back, then he raised his left hand, and soon, a card appeared in Rhodes' hand.
[Summon: Nether Tentacles]
The dark shadows began to wriggle, and then, countless tentacles flew out of the shadows, winding towards the target in front of them. (To be continued......)
