Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Return of the Hero
When Rhodes woke up, it was still dark.
There was a warm and soft touch and a faint fragrance around him, and Rhodes sat up slowly, accompanied by a hazy shimmer, he could see two snow-white and soft bodies on the left and right sides of his body. Marlene and Lijie hugged Rod's arms tightly and fell into a deep sleep. Looking at the quiet sleeping faces of the two, it was really hard to imagine their passion and madness last night. Looking at the scene in front of him, Rod shook his head helplessly, he reached out and stroked the hair of the two. Since that time, Marlene and Lijie have been in and out of the same way almost every time. However, it was quite easy for Rod to deal with the two of them, so even if the two of them went to Rod together, he was not afraid. But it's another thing to change Anne, that's why Why, although Anne has always hoped to join, Rhodes never agreed. From the perspective of any ordinary man, it would definitely be a great thing to be able to get three beautiful and extraordinary beauties with different temperaments on the same bed at the same time to enjoy the blessings of all people. But after all, that's an outsider's opinion, and Rod himself doesn't think it's a good thing at all. It's easy to deal with Marlene and Lijie alone, and the toss will be over for half a night. But to add Anne, that's a different story entirely.
Thinking of this, Rod shook his head, and then he got up from the bed lightly, changed his clothes and left the room.
“——————!!”
The whistling sword aura shone through the dim night, forming a starry glow, like a flower blooming in the darkness. But in the next moment, the originally shining starlight suddenly condensed into silver-white rays, intertwined with each other to weave a large net, and Rod took half a step forward and poked forward with his right hand. With this movement, a clone of the shadows of darkness suddenly stepped back, and then, Rhodes opened his eyes and twisted his wrist.
The holy white long sword in his hand was dyed pitch black at this moment, and then he saw the long sword in Rod's hand suddenly split with a "click". It was like a long black whip thrown forward, and with his movements, the large net woven by sword light that was originally horizontal in front of Rhodes suddenly flowed vividly, like poisonous snakes flying in all directions. But at this moment, the originally flowing silver-white light suddenly stopped, and then disappeared completely with a "bang", and disappeared without a trace.
"Cut."
Seeing this scene in front of him, Rod took a sip of dissatisfaction, and then shook his head helplessly.
The experiment failed again.
Since he has created his own swordsmanship "Dawn Illusion" with Sword Creation Points. In his spare time, Rhodes had another kind of entertainment, and that was to perfect this swordsmanship that he had created on his own. After all, as a player, everyone hopes that they can have an original swordsmanship, although in the game, players can improve swordsmanship, but no matter how much they improve, it is someone else's, and it is impossible to change the six-vein divine sword to Dugu Nine Swords. And now that Rhodes has the ability to completely create his own swordsmanship, he certainly won't let it go. This is especially true after a taste of sweetness.
And before that. Rhodes's trial has been a little successful, and the phantom clone sword technique he created with a characteristic similar to "network latency" is very effective against both monomers and AOE. Especially after Rhodes entered the Legend rank. With the legendary attribute bonus, "Dawn Illusion" can also play a very good role in the face of the attack of the undead army. But for Rhodes, that wasn't enough.
In the beginning, Rhodes hoped to be able to create three "delayed" clones to swap in turn, so that he could keep the three clones in battle all the time. In this way, for the enemy, it is to face four people attacking at the same time, and the difficulty of this technique only depends on whether the time released by the clone and the remaining time can be perfectly connected. This is not a big problem for Rod, who has already stepped into the legendary level, and now he can not only release the clone at will. It can even make the clone have the same attack and defense capabilities as the main body in a short period of time, which means that the clone released by Rhodes not only has his own attack power, but also greatly improves his defense, and is no longer like those ordinary phantom clones that are just a soap bubble that can burst when poked. It can even be said that against some people who are lower than his own level, Rhodes doesn't even need to make his own move. As long as he shakes his body, releasing a doppelganger is enough to knock out the other party.
However, Rod was not satisfied with this, and after his success, he came up with a new idea.
Now Rhodes has four holy sword cards in his hand, of which Greyhill and Madaras are a pair, plus Starmark and Nightmare, Rhodes can change three offensive swordsmanship in a row in battle, he can use Starmark to attack, or he can use Nightmare's chain sword attribute for mid-range sneak attacks, and in melee combat, he can also skillfully use two short swords for assault. For a long time, the clone released by Rhodes could only use the swordsmanship he was currently casting, so conversely, could he let his clone release different swordsmanship? It's like what would happen if Rhodes attacked with a star mark, and then he released a doppelganger that attacked with a star mark in front of him, and then switched to Nightmare to sneak up in the rear, or he switched to Gresil and Madaras for a surprise attack?
Or take it a step further, can you make this sword technique a real doppelganger, and let Rhodes use two summoning cards at the same time?
If it was a fixed swordsmanship, then Rhodes would definitely not have such crazy ideas. But now, since the "Dawn Illusion" was created by himself, then he dared to think about anything, anyway, there is no progress in the follow-up of the Dawn Illusion, in short, experiment first, if it can really succeed, then it would be the best———— you must know that Lu Dao Rod even considered directly making a dozen shadow clones, and then the front top did MT, and the back launched the summoning card at the same time, even if he was the only one at that time, the instantaneous attack power and damage were enough to top the previous group!
So far, however, the test has not been successful. After Rhodes switches weapons, the clone he released will disappear immediately, I don't know if it's because of incompatibility or for some other reason, Rod has practiced many times without any progress, and this time, it ended in failure.
"Hoo ..............."
Rod shook his head, and he waved his right hand. Soon, the pitch-black sword in his hand turned into a card, spun in Rod's palm for a moment and then disappeared into the air. Rod, on the other hand, reached into his arms, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and insisted on exercising for an hour every morning after waking up is a rule he has set for himself. This was there when Rhodes was on Earth before, but at that time he was jogging. Now it's sword training. After Rhodes came to this world, there were only a few times when he didn't get out of bed on time. In addition to the accidents and tasks in the early stage, the rest is related to Annie.........
After confirming that the time was correct, Rod took back his pocket watch, and then he held out his finger, and soon saw the system's information bar appear in front of Rode's eyes out of thin air.
The king moves forward steadfastly, seeking the glory that has been lost, and his subjects have long since dissipated, but they will return. Work with the reflection of your twin to protect the holy light from being defiled. Crowned at the end of that ancient world, on the throne of the Soul Inheritance? - Quest triggers "Return of the Hero"]
The content of the mission itself is not complicated——— it is to ask Rhodes to help the War Mage complete the soul inheritance ritual that has been lost for thousands of years, and let the rumored battle mage return to the mortal world. The Legion hadn't had time to complete this ritual before, not to mention that they had lost a lot when they were fighting for the staff, and before they had time to prepare when they finally returned, the Undead Legion attacked. In desperation, the War Wizards had no choice but to let Soth withdraw with his staff first, no matter what. The key to the Soul Inheritance cannot be left in the hands of the Undead Legion. Obviously, this quest was triggered only after Rhodes returned to the Stronghold. The reason lies in the emergence of the Tactics of War.
It seems that things are very simple, now that Soth has the soul staff in his hand, all he needs to do is find a place to complete the ritual. But there is only one problem——— and that is that the altar of the ceremony is located in the Eastern Mountains, where the War Wizards are stationed. In other words, if they wanted to complete this task, Rhodes and the others sneaked in under the noses of the undead army. Then start the inheritance and complete the ritual...............
Of course, it's a good idea to rebuild an altar in the Land of Atonement, but ......... A heritage that has been lost for hundreds of years, how can you expect anyone to remember what the Legacy Ritual Altar looks like?
If the quest is nothing more than a reward for some money and experience. Then it doesn't matter if Rhodes does it or not. He is not the kind of perfect taskism, all the tasks received must be 100% perfect and must be completed, before the "fiery rose" he had no choice but to give up at the last moment, the current "return of the hero" If there is no special reward, Rod naturally does not plan to make a move.
But after seeing the mission reward, Rod's eyes immediately turned red.
In addition to experience, this quest rewards only one ———— [Star Spirit Key]
As the name suggests, the Star Spirit Key is the same as the Illusory Realm Key of the Silver Sea and the Burning Fire Plains currently in Rhodes' hands, and it is the key to open one of the Seven Illusion Realms and lead to the Star Spirit Temple. With the Star Spirit Key, Rhodes will be able to open a teleportation path to the Star Spirit Temple, and not only that, but a Star Spirit Hall projection building will be added to the territory in the construction system.
[Hall of Stars: You can designate the high-level creatures under the wielder to enter the projection, and summon the subordinate classes (elite/hero level) to enter. And when this creature is present, it can train and transform its troops]
In the legend of the Dragon Soul Continent, the Star Spirit Hall is the eternal resting place of the hero's soul, and after seeing the system's description of the Star Spirit Palace, Rod immediately fell in love. Although I don't know how to transform living people into other classes in reality, just the characteristics of the Star Spirit Hall itself are enough to make Rhodes excited. If nothing else, just say that the four sacred sword cards under his command, Celestina, Selia, Greyhill and Madaras, are all from extraordinary origins, and once the Star Spirit Temple is built, then it means that the Heroic Spirits belonging to them can be summoned to enter! Not only that, but you can even train unique classes! Does this mean that, if possible, even an invincible being like Calesdu can be called upon by the establishment?
If that's the case, just swing Greysil and Madaras there, and summon a hundred and eighty Calesdu, who else is Rhodes afraid of...............
If it was just that, then Rhodes would have packed up his luggage and dragged Soth away without saying a word. However, there was only one reason why Rhodes did not make an immediate decision——— and that was the sentence in the mission description.
"Protect the holy splendor from being tarnished with the reflection of your twin lives............"
The reflection of the twins, the character Rod referred to doesn't need to think about it to guess, there is only one person by his side.
