The beating light of the fire shone in the dimly lit corridor in front of her, and the white-haired girl walked quietly in it, her eyes half-closed, as if she were a wanderer from the world. The sound of lonely footsteps echoed into the depths of the corridor, and in the darkness where the fire could not shine, a pair of scarlet eyes were staring at the prey in front of them with greed and murderous intent. The darkened hunter silently crawled on the wall, slowly approaching the prey in front of him from above, and the girl seemed to be completely unaware of the danger she was in, but still walked unhurriedly. From time to time, he stopped to look at the ruined stone statues and some of the triggers around him, frowning and muttering something to himself. And at this time, behind the girl, those silent predators were ready. They slowly open their jaws, baring their sharp teeth, as if an Assassin had drawn his blade, waiting only to pounce on their target at the most opportune moment and deliver a fatal blow.

"This place is also destroyed........."

And at this moment, the girl withdrew her gaze and muttered to herself, and then, her right hand moved slightly.

“——————！！”

A breeze blew silently through the hallway, so faint that it was impossible to detect its presence, and only the girl's hair fluttered slightly. But in the next moment, the splatters of blood erupted like raindrops, and the stumps of the corpses that had been cut and shattered fell to the ground like this, and it was only a moment of work for the corridor to return to its original tranquility again. If it weren't for the limbs on the ground, it would have been hard to believe that there was something else here.

Karen didn't even look at the underground monsters that had been reduced to corpse fragments, instead, she raised her right hand, and in the light of the fire, she could see that Karen held a strange handle in her right hand. The entire handle is made of metal. On one side, there are four or five weird button-like things, painted in black and white. At this moment, Karen's slender fingers gently pressed a few times on the button on the side of the handle, and soon, I saw that the top of the originally empty handle quickly emerged in the form of the sword body, and it took a short time for a slender thin sword to appear in Karen's hand. It looks beautifully gorgeous. The narrow sword, which is not yet the thickness of a little finger, has mysterious inscriptions carved on its body, and it does not look like a battle sword from any direction. Even Rhodes was curious about how Karen was going to fight. Because her own attributes are just an ordinary human, even after transforming into a holy sword card, her attack and defense values are the lowest, almost the same as a soul bird. Coupled with such a thin sword whose ornamental value is obviously greater than its practical value, if it weren't for the fact that she was recognized as the fourth, Rhodes would even think that her combat power was the lowest among all the holy sword elves.

But now. After witnessing Karen's battle with his own eyes, Rhodes discovered that Karen's human body overthrew a group of angels, devils, elves, and necromancers to step into the fourth place, and indeed had his own means. The thin sword in her hand was no ordinary sword at all, and according to Rod's observations, the body of this sword was composed of tens of thousands of tiny silk threads, which looked even finer than cobwebs, almost the same as nothing. Unless you reach the realm of Rhodes, it is impossible to feel the existence of these silk threads. And that's not all. The threads themselves are incomparably tough and unusually sharp. Karen also has a strange rune attached to it, although it usually looks harmless to humans and animals, but once activated with soul power, these silk threads can exert a sharp and incomparably lethal power that can blow hair. It's not just physical combat power, even if the opponent has a spiritual spell to protect the body, it's meaningless. Because what was carved on this rapier by Karen was an inscription of order.

After learning in detail about her fighting style from Karen, Rhodes really couldn't help but sigh that sure enough, (magic) technology is the primary productive force, and Kalian's own strength is very weak, so weak that even Annie may be able to overturn her head-on. But as long as you have this sword in hand. Even if it's Greyhill, Madarath doesn't make sense for the same as above. Order Inscriptions also appear in the late game, and are one of the most advanced types of Forged Inscriptions, and as the name suggests, Order Inscriptions can exert the power of Order. But because there is a lot of order, in addition to the most well-known ones, there are even many ordinary people who don't know about it at all, but in fact, it also affects the order power of this world. Moreover, since the Order Inscription is the embodiment of the Order itself, when the Order Inscription is activated, its effect is in the highest priority. What invincibility, what absolute defense, as long as it is not the manifestation power of the order condensation, then they cannot be the opponent of the order inscription effect that is ranked at the highest priority.

This amount of power, combined with the countless almost transparent and invisible silk threads, formed an absolute killer move exclusive to Kalian. It's no wonder that several other Holy Sword Elves are powerless under her hands. Although each of them has their own unique strength, in front of Kalian's order inscription, even the abilities of Greyhill and Madaras will be ranked second, that is, only after Kalian's inscription is in effect, Greyhill and Madaras will be able to use their abilities to fight, and the same is true for others. This feeling of being automatically controlled by the other side at the beginning of the battle is definitely not a comfortable feeling. And to manipulate those silk threads, Karen completely relied on the key mechanisms on her own handle. It can be seen from this that Kalian's fighting style can be said to be a completely high-tech product, and as an ordinary human being, it is really awe-inspiring to be able to do this.

"Oh yes, sure enough, the fourth sister is still extraordinary, and by matching various low-level order inscriptions to have such a powerful power, this is not something that anyone can do! Hmph, even if those four demon generals who dragged twenty-five or eighty-thousand, if they were not careful in front of the fourth sister, it would not be a dead end! “

Triumphantly looking at Kalian, who was walking towards her after inspecting the surrounding mechanisms casually, Celestina shook her head proudly and said. Looking at her like this, Rod couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, to be honest, this devil lady has been looking above the top since she was summoned, and she didn't look at who she put in her eyes. Even if it's yourself. It was in bed that she could scream and beg for mercy, and what should Celestina do on weekdays. Although she was as well-behaved as a kitten in front of Greyhill, Madaras, and Syros, Rhodes could see that it was an instinctive reaction brought about by the trio being scared. And Serlestina who admires a person wholeheartedly like this, even like a star chaser, Rod is really the first time to see it.

"It's superficial."

Karen, who came over, didn't seem very happy to hear Celestina's compliment. Like all technicians, she hated it when people only saw her inventions for destruction and war. So hearing Celestina's compliment, Karen glared at her coldly.

"Originally, the purpose of my dragon heart piercing was not simply for combat, but to adapt to the possible dangers brought about by various environments. In addition to being used for fighting, the Soul Silk can also be transformed into a variety of different forms, which is very convenient for both food and living, otherwise how do you think your soft big bed and tent came from when you were fighting outside? ”

Speaking of this, there was a rare bit of pride in Karen's tone, obviously. For her, rather than destroying the enemy, what her skills produce is where her ultimate value lies. As for the powerful weapons that can defeat the angels, demons, and white elves or something, Karen didn't take it to heart at all.

It's an all-purpose Swiss Army knife.

Looking at the sword in Kalian's hand, Rod couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, but he still didn't say anything. After all, even if she did, it was a question of whether Karen could understand it. So Rod wisely chose to keep his mouth shut, and Karen didn't seem to notice Rode's reaction. She walked straight up to Rhodes and spoke.

"I'm sorry. Your Majesty, according to my observations, the mechanisms of the first three layers are basically useless. Although a lot of thought was put into the construction of the labyrinth in the first place, after all, this place is only a periphery, and it has been too long, and those foreign underground monsters have also caused considerable damage here. In my estimation. I'm afraid that before the eighth layer, it is unlikely that we will gain control of the core. ”

"There's no way around it, so let's move on."

Rhodes wasn't surprised by Kalian's answer. Originally, the deepest maze in the game was also like this, most of which were originally elite underground monsters, and only occasionally a few powerful guardian puppets would appear as bosses. But the further down you go, the fewer these monsters become, and the real way to enter the deepest labyrinth itself is probably after the fiftieth floor. Originally, Rhodes asked Karen to check it this time, just to see if there were any "special methods" that players didn't know about these aborigines, but now it seems that there are no particularly big changes here as the players have experienced before.

It is worth mentioning that the golem puppets used as gatekeepers still made Rod get through a boss addiction, and after feeling the dragon soul breath on Rhodes, these golem dolls immediately stopped attacking Rhodes and others, and then obediently cleaned up the monsters in other places in this area according to Rhodes. The little bubblegum was so addicted to watching that now she didn't follow Rhodes, but dragged Anne to chase the golems like an overseer to supervise them to complete their tasks——— which is also a bad taste for the player.

The benefits that the Dragon Soul Inheritor brought to Rhodes were not the only ones, with the help of his own strength, Rhodes was also able to master the map of the entire deepest labyrinth. Now his system has fully accepted the plane map of the deepest labyrinth, and with the help of this map, Rhodes has easily mastered the location of the other four apprentice teams sent by the Tour of France Tower. Among them, Zagared's team is not slow, and it has now reached the second layer, and the genius mage Stuka seems to have been completely abolished in the battle with Little Bubblegum before, and is still spinning in the middle of the first layer, Rhodes doubts that if he continues like this, this guy will stay in it for ten years and not come out.

I have to admit that these guys in the Tour de France Tower still have some strength, and they are worthy of being the elite of the tower. Although these people have encountered a lot of accidents after entering the labyrinth, they have not been reduced in battle so far. But this is also a matter of course, until the fifth layer, most of them are just low-level ordinary monsters, but after entering the sixth layer to the tenth layer, they will encounter forty or fifty level elite monsters. There will even be a few lord-level bosses. And that is the real time to test them.

"It's good, Your Majesty."

Hearing Rod's answer, Karen nodded, and then she turned her head slightly to look at Christie, who was sitting next to her. At this moment, the little guy is taking small sips of water in the company of Suzu. The complexion is not pretty. Although it was true that Christie was very excited to go out on adventures with Rhodes at first, it really made Christie feel uncomfortable asking her to attack and kill those monsters, she was pure by nature and didn't like to hurt people. Although these monsters look strange, they are living beings after all. Although Christie has made rapid progress with the help of "another Christie", this is not enough for her to fully accept the fact of killing. In the past, Christie gave her body to her other self, and she stood by and watched. So it's fine. Now to do it herself, it is indeed too difficult for Christie.

"Your Majesty......... I beg your pardon, although your original intentions are good, but after all, Her Royal Highness the Princess is still young, and as a human being, her constitution is weak. If you continue to dive into it. I'm afraid it hurts, you're a father. Should have paid more attention to some of my daughter's ........."

"Poof............!!"

Before Ka Lian's words were finished, Rod who listened to it squirted out a mouthful of water, he put down the water bag in his hand, and looked up at Ka Ren with a helpless gaze. Indeed, given Christie's resemblance to herself, it is not wrong to be considered related. But here's the problem......... It's more reliable to say that it's a brother and sister. I don't look like a person with children!

Thinking of this, Rod glared at Karen helplessly, but in the face of Rode's gaze, Kalian did not react at all, on the contrary. She just reached out and lifted her glasses, then tilted her head curiously. And the canary, who was watching the play next to her, was already rolling on the ground with her belly laughing at this time, but fortunately Little Bubblegum and Anne were not there, otherwise she would not be indispensable at this time. Christie, on the other hand, looked at Rod with a flushed face, opened her mouth but said nothing. As for Suzu, she doesn't seem to be surprised at all——— could it be that she thinks so?!

"Excuse me, is there something wrong with me?"

"No, no, no, not at all, Karen, Christie is not my child............"

Rod felt that this misunderstanding must be made clear, he could bear it if he was mistaken for a brother and sister or even a sister, but if it was mistaken for a father and daughter, it would be another matter. So he hurriedly explained Christie's background to Karen, and at the same time completely cleared up the misunderstanding. After listening to Rod's words, Kalian still looked indifferent, and didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all that she had said the wrong thing.

"I see, Your Majesty......... I thought that this princess was the child of you and Master Christie. ”

"Why do you think that?"

Hearing Karen's answer, Rod couldn't help but be curious. As for Rod's inquiry, Karenn was not impressed.

"Because the power of the dragon soul is too strong, not everyone can withstand it. The power of creation cannot conceive in the bodies of ordinary beings. And His Majesty is even more carrying the dragon soul, so the only ones who can withstand the strength of His Majesty are only a few highnesses and other dragon soul inheritors who can also have the protection of order. ”

So that's it.........

Hearing this, Rhodes finally understood a little. It's no wonder that the five dragons of Genesis are basically the reincarnation inheritance of strength, it turns out that it is not that they cannot give birth to heirs like ordinary people, but that ordinary people simply cannot withstand the power of dragon souls. Like the Dragon of Judgment, the Dragon of Sanction, and the Dragon of Light, every time they appear, it's basically a woman. Even if they want to find a man, if they can't withstand the power of the dragon soul, I'm afraid they won't be able to conceive in the end. And the dark dragon is even better, although the dark dragon is a man, but all his subordinates are undead, even if it is a fallen angel, he has died once and then resurrected and fallen (not to mention that it is a man), and there is no way to give birth to children.

Originally, Rhodes also secretly felt strange about this, he didn't use contraception in this world, but after so long, no one showed signs of pregnancy. A dark elf like Leo might take decades to get pregnant. But Marlene, Anne and Lijie are all ordinary people, rolling the sheets all day long, and not half of them have won the lottery, which inevitably makes Rod wonder if some of his body's functions have gone wrong when he crosses............ Now it seems that, according to Karen, it's not that she can't do it, but that the power of the dragon soul is too strong, and ordinary people can't bear it, so they can't win the lottery.

If that's the case, then it's not hard to explain that Karen thinks of Christie as her child, she must have seen another Christie before she died, and this Christie in front of her, although she looks similar to herself and the other Christie, is not herself. From this point of view, it is normal for Karene to think so. But.........

Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, he suddenly remembered that now Marlene has awakened into the body of a demon god, according to Karen, now she should be able to withstand the power of the dragon soul, so he has to work so hard......... Will you really win the lottery?

Forget it, it's useless to think about it now.

Thinking of this, Rhodes shook his head, and Karen looked at Christie, who was slightly uneasy next to her, and frowned slightly.

It's really strange, obviously sensing a similar aura, there is no blood relationship......... Christie, what the hell is going on?

"Boom!!"

At this moment, suddenly, a dull loud noise sounded, which suddenly shocked everyone's hearts. And with this dull sound, the earth began to tremble. The torch on the wall began to dim and then disappeared in an instant. In just a moment's effort, the world realm fell into darkness again.

"Your Majesty."

Karen's voice rang out again, but this time, with an unprecedented decisiveness in her voice.

"Ah, I understand."

Rhodes stood up, and soon, a leisurely firelight emerged from the canary's side, forming a bright and dazzling ring of fire that enveloped everyone in it. At this time, not only Rod, but even Greyhill and Madaras restrained the smile on their faces, and the short sword in their hands flew out. And Celia also raised the long sword in her hand, and the divine flame suddenly erupted, and under this bright and divine light, the surrounding darkness seemed to retreat and retreated.

"I didn't expect Chaos to even be involved here, it seems that what we think is too simple........."

“——————！！”

With a roar coming from all directions, the originally invisible darkness suddenly condensed into a tangible monster, rushing towards everyone! (To be continued......)
