Chapter 186: Lightning and Thunder

In the face of the attack of the core guards, Rhodes immediately dodged sideways, his toes on the ground a little, and he jumped backwards quickly. And not long after Rod jumped away, the fists of the huge structure hit the ground heavily, and the originally hard stone slab was smashed in an instant, and the broken gap like a spider web immediately extended, and the entire ground sank a little. Not only that, but the shards of the slate also ejected and flew up under the impact force, hitting Rod's face and body, faintly painful.

However, Rod didn't care about these little things, he had already clenched his long sword as he pulled back, and then flung forward, and a sword light hit the body of the constructor with precision, causing the core guard to stop the pace of continuing to attack, and Rod took this opportunity to roll back, and then he stretched out his left hand and clenched it with his backhand.

“———!!”

With a long and crisp roar, a whirlwind erupted around Rhodes, and the soul bird appeared behind him, spreading its wings and staring closely at the enemy in front of him. And Rod didn't talk too much nonsense, he directly waved his long sword and pointed forward. Receiving the master's order, the soul bird immediately spread its wings and attacked the construct.

In the face of the oncoming soul bird, the core guard barely hesitated, it stepped forward and slammed into the opponent with a heavy punch. The soul bird rushed straight at it, not intending to dodge at all, while the core guard's movements were far more agile and brisk than its bulky appearance, and the two sides reached each other almost in the blink of an eye.

Judging by common sense, the soul bird will definitely be smashed out of the body by the core guard's punch, but in fact, it is a different scene——— facing the huge metal fist, the soul bird has no defense and fear, it rushes forward like this, and the metal fist of the huge structure body is "silently" through its body, as if it hit a cloud of air, and the soul bird also passed through its body at this time, not only that. A dazzling electric light suddenly erupted at this time.

"Boom!!"

The deafening roar echoed through the small room, making both Rhodes and Anne's ears tingle, and the Core Guardian took a step back, and on the surface of the heavy metal shell, the electricity could be clearly seen beating and flickering on it—as it passed through the Core Guard, the Soul Bird finally burst into a powerful electric current contained in its body, and they slammed into the metal structure, forcing the other party to stop.

But the Core Guards don't stop there.

"-——!!"

Accompanied by the sound of jets of air. White vapor erupted from the whole body of the construct, and then the core guard raised his left hand, and the left hand that was originally stretched out in front of him suddenly made a 180-degree turn, and reversed to the back at a strange angle that was impossible for humans to do, and at this moment, the left hand of the core guard seemed to become a right hand. Looking at it, it is simply no longer shrinking its arms back, but throwing its fists behind it.

However, the soul bird is not easy to deal with, and it immediately glides through the air after passing through the core guard, making the construct's attack once again useless, but at this time, the soul bird's attack is becoming more and more active, and after gliding through the air, it once again faces the core guard. Open your mouth and scream. And with the screaming sound of the soul bird, a dazzling thunder light burst out from its body again, hitting the core guard's body like a long whip, making the structure shake involuntarily, not only that, but the thunder light also brought up a lot of rubble and dust, and for a while it looked as if the soul bird was responding to the attack of the core guard. …,

The current soul bird is no longer the marginal character that can only be used to harass the enemy and fight soy sauce. Although in terms of combat effectiveness, it still lags behind other summoned elves such as Celia. However, it is no problem to deal with a mere core guard. The Soul Bird is now level fifteen, and the Core Guardian is only level fourteen or fifteen. There is not much difference in the ranks between the two sides. Due to the special properties of the wind element, it is difficult for the Core Guardian to attack it, and the Soul Bird's damage to the Core Guardian is quite limited. The lightning attribute only works against the core guards, but it is not its weak point, and if the two sides continue to consume it like this, then it will become a grappling.

However, Rhodes is not worried, the reason why he summoned the soul bird is not to rely on it to turn the tables, as long as he can cause some trouble with the sturdy body of the core guard, then it is his responsibility to do the next.

He is a summoning swordsman, not a summoning mage, and the elves are always used to cooperate with themselves, not to leave things to it and everything will be fine.

Rod held the sword in his right hand, across his chest, then his left hand stretched out, and soon, a pitch-black card was in his palm, and then Rod held the card and squeezed it hard towards his chest.

The black mist suddenly enveloped Rod's body, and behind his body, the illusory image of the Centaur Rider faintly emerged—it looked like a translucent shell, enveloping Rhodes in it.

And at this moment, Rod moved.

Taking advantage of the moment when the soul bird once again attacked the core guards, forcing the opponent's action to stagnate, Rhodes immediately activated the shadow flash, and his body instantly mixed with a series of afterimages flew through, shortening the distance between himself and the other party in the blink of an eye, and then Rod raised his sword - and with this action, the illusory centaur knight behind him also raised his spear.

Then, stab forward with all your might.

"Bell !!"

The dull sound of metal clashing made people's hearts tremble, and the body of the core guard slammed into a slam, and then immediately flew upside down, slamming against the wall. The sound of collisions, collapses, and dust and rubble flying in the sky filled the room. However, Rod, who had successfully completed the attack, did not immediately chase after him, instead, he hurriedly stopped, and then held his sword horizontally in front of him.

At the same time, the Centaur Knight Avatar behind him also made the same action as Rod, blocking the spear and shield in front of Rod, as if guarding his master.

"Hoo !!"

Just as Rod finished this action, with a whistling wind, a pitch-black object flew out of the dust and smoke and rushed towards Rode. It's fast, and it's hard to say what the situation would have turned out if it hadn't been for Rhodes' preemptive defensive stance.

It was an iron fist that was connected by chains and was rushing forward, and it was the right hand of the core guard.

That's the difference between humans and constructs, they are inanimate, which means they can be used as weapons anywhere on their bodies. Humans will always subconsciously ignore this problem when fighting with constructs, and I don't know if it's because they look like humans, so they subconsciously treat them as humans, or because of their lack of experience, so they can only come and go.

However, Rhodes was clearly not one of them, he was very familiar with these constructs, and he knew what to do, and he knew how to kill them.

The iron fist flying from the air hit Rod hard, but he was not able to go further, you must know that Rod is not fighting alone at this moment, using the innate ability of "shadow-like", he has integrated the centaur knight with himself, and now Rod has the ability of the centaur knight, so for the attack of the core guard, Rod didn't pay too much attention to it. …,

The core guard who missed the blow immediately withdrew his iron fist and reunited with his body. And at this time, the soul bird also manipulated the whirlwind to blow away the dust, and the two sides became entangled again.

Rod's side is fierce, and Anne's side is not easy, although she has received advice from Rhodes before, but after all, she is still inexperienced, at the beginning, Anne was still able to deal with those constructed guardians who rolled from everywhere, but the next one made her a little tired——— the battlefield between Rhodes and the core guards was constantly changing, and even sometimes blocked Annie's view, so that she could not find the enemy who rolled out of the pipe in the first place. By the time Anne became aware of their presence, the Constructed Guardians had been fully activated and were about to go on the offensive.

"Drink, !!"

The girl shouted and raised the shield in her hand and smashed it hard, and from the bottom of the shield, a sharp metal stake suddenly appeared, penetrating the thick shell of the Constructed Guardian, and the Constructed Guardian who had just rolled out of the pipe had not had time to show his ability, so it was directly smashed into a pile of pieces. But before Anne could turn around, there was a gust of wind behind her.

Anne didn't need to look at everything to know what was going on, at the beginning, these Constructed Guardians came one by one, and it was easy to deal with them on their own. But now they are a little irregular, sometimes none of them come out, sometimes two or three at once......

The girl did not choose to dodge, on the contrary, Anne let go of the handle of the shield in her hand, and then the whole person bent over like a smart kitten in an instant, circled around the shield, and hid from the back of the shield to the front of the shield, and at this time, the sharp blade of the Guardian of the Construct also slashed heavily on the body of the metal shield, making a tooth-aching grinding sound. But Anne didn't let go of this almost, she grabbed the shield with both hands, and took advantage of the opportunity when the center of gravity of the Constructed Guardian moved forward, and there was no time to dodge, and she struck at it hard, and the Constructed Guardian, who had not been able to maintain its balance, was directly flipped away and fell to the ground, but before it could get up from the ground, the heavy shield had already fallen from the sky.

"Boom !!"

Metal shards flew everywhere, and the Constructed Guardian, who had been fangs and claws just now, was now a pile of tatters under the Adamantite Shield, and there was no longer any threat.

"Hoo ........."

It was only then that Anne let out a sigh, and then she looked up and looked not far away.

There, the battle between Rhodes and the Core Guards had also reached its most critical juncture.
