Lying in the palm of the girl's hand was an ancient key, but it seemed that it had been carefully kept, even after countless long years, the key was still clean and bright, although the years had left indelible marks on its body, the girl held the key in her hand and looked at Rod. And Rod quietly looked at the key in front of him and frowned slightly. But before he could ask, the girl had already reached out a hand and pointed to the stairs next to her. The staircase was the same as the entire top of the Vault, and in the distance, a sealed metal circular door could be seen.

"Follow me."

After saying this, the girl turned and walked towards the staircase, while the others followed Rhodes curiously and walked up the stairs under the guidance of the girl. It was clear that it should be the highest point in the entire Vault. However, unlike the others, there were no signs of houses on either side of the road, and at the top of the distance, almost bordering the ceiling, there was only a small flat square, where a metal round iron door was quietly embedded in the wall, and from the outside, it looked the same as the gate when everyone entered the vault. It's just that when he saw the gate in front of him, a strange look flashed in Rod's eyes.

The old guy is really a good plan.

"As long as you can defeat the monsters inside, then the elders will give you the coordinates of the tinder."

The girl didn't seem to like talking, she just said it lightly, and then stepped aside. However, Rod did not immediately nod in agreement, on the contrary, he looked the girl in front of him up and down with interest, until the girl turned pale and even bit her lower lip to say something. Rod withdrew his gaze and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the door in front of him. Subsequently, Rhodes gave the order.

"Marlene, Lizzie, Anne. Come with me. Seven Loves, the rest is up to you, remember, if we don't come back after an hour, launch an indiscriminate assault on this vault immediately! Destroy this place completely! ”

"Yes, master, leave it to me."

Hearing Rod's order, everyone else was taken aback, while Seven Love snapped her fingers excitedly. Then he raised his right hand high, and with the movement of the fire elemental lord, a rushing bright red pillar of fire suddenly rose into the sky with the center of the Seven Loves, and then I saw that the waves of flame were burning like this and extending along the arc-shaped ceiling of the shelter to both sides, this sudden change made the residents of the shelter below suddenly stir, and many of them fled back to their rooms in horror, poking their heads out and looking at the dazzling and bright flames above, and quickly. In this way, the flame takes the shape of a clock, and the hour, minute, and second hands, which are condensed by the scorching flame, move slowly. But at this moment, it is so oppressive in the eyes of everyone.

"Mr. Rhodes..............."

Seeing Rod's actions, Lijie glanced at the girl standing by the gate with some embarrassment, she didn't seem to have much interest in it. But Lijie always felt that this was really rude, anyway, didn't the other party already agree to give the coordinates of the tinder? Do so. Wouldn't it be unfriendly?

"I'll go see what's going on inside, and you'll be in charge of the outside."

"Good, Rod."

Rod turned a deaf ear to Lijie's concerns, and Marlene also glanced helplessly at the commotion in the distance, but wisely did not say much. The experience just now has made Marlene completely realize. Here, it is clear that the rules they are familiar with do not apply. It is true that in other places, such blatant threats would certainly not make people feel good, but here ............ Rhodes seems familiar with the situation, so let's leave it to him.

"Good."

Hearing Marlene's answer, Rhodes nodded, and then he reached out, took the old key from the girl's hand, inserted it into the keyhole of the door in front of him, and turned it lightly.

"Click......

With this soft sound, the metal railing used to seal the outside of the gate began to slide, and then the outer metal disc slowly rotated, and then the shackles that had been tightly arranged in each other were loosened, and then, the metal gate slowly opened, and then, a dull wind whistled through it. Then, a huge tunnel appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Surprisingly, however, the tunnel was not dim, on the contrary, a faint light stretched along the edges of both sides of the tunnel towards the inside, as if to guide something.

"Anne, follow me."

Rhodes gestured to Anne, then turned and walked into the tunnel. Hearing Rod's call, Anne screamed excitedly, then puffed out her chest proudly and waved her hand at Lijie and Marlene as if showing off. Then he turned around and followed Rhodes into the tunnel. Marlene and Lijie watched as they walked into the tunnel with complicated expressions, and it wasn't until their figures disappeared that Lijie let out a long sigh.

"Marlene...............

"Huh?"

"We ............ Do you want to practice swordsmanship..............."

“…………… Even if you practice, you won't be able to reach Annie's level........."

"That's what I said...............

Saying this, the two glanced at each other sadly, and then sighed helplessly.

"Hey....................."

Not to mention the self-pity of the two people, Rhodes, who walked into the tunnel at this moment, looked extremely serious. With his hands behind his back, he seemed to be indifferent and at ease. But soon, I saw that the summoning circle shining with magical brilliance on the back of Rod's right hand began to take shape, and countless magical brilliance emerged from it, and then condensed into a large, gorgeous circle composed of several circles, and then, one after another cards appeared from it, first the silver angel of war and the devil lady in a black dress, followed by the little mermaid who had not been seen for a long time, under the scorching heat, the hellhound pounced out of it, roaring and looking ahead. Then Rod flung his hand forward, and with his movements, a faint shadow suddenly withdrew from the shadow that could not stop shaking because of the light of magic, and then the dark shadow turned into the entity of a long sword and landed in the palm of Rod's hand.

"Commander, is the enemy difficult to deal with?"

Anne walked with her hands behind her back, as if on a wild outing, but at this moment the girl's eyes were extremely serious and serious, and in terms of combat, Anne's intuition was even comparable to that of a veteran player like Little Bubblegum and Canary. It is conceivable that if Anne stepped into the realm of legends, maybe she would be able to reach the realm of Rhodes and others in the future, and it was not impossible that she would even be stronger than them.

"It's troublesome, so I need your help."

Rod replied in a low voice.

"Greyhill and Madaras were left out by me, and the only way to do this is you, Annie, I'll get the boss's attention in a moment, and then you're going to get something."

"Something?"

Hearing Rod's words, Anne tilted her head curiously. Rod, on the other hand, nodded slightly, in confirmation.

"If my guess is correct, it's the doorstone. To put it simply, it was supposed to be placed here to strengthen the Vault's defenses against Chaos. But it is clear that this place has been eroded by chaos, and it is very likely that a chaotic connecting channel has been formed. That's why they've sealed these up, and the doorstone is probably also polluted, and all we have to do is to purify the doorstone, so that this sanctuary can regain the strength to fight against chaos. ”

Speaking of this, Rod paused, generally speaking, the place where the door stone is placed is the real core of the shelter, which is like a system of virus firewall, it will filter and destroy those harmful viruses to ensure the safety of the shelter. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for people to enter this kind of heavy land casually. So after hearing about the Elder's request from the girl, Rhodes had to secretly put down his original intention of cleaning up everyone here, after all, it was much easier to destroy these monsters than that.

However, Rod can also conclude that the old guy is definitely not well-intentioned, generally speaking, the tainted doorstone will only react when someone approaches, and the level limit of the chaos monsters it summons is calculated according to the highest level limit among the enemies. That's why Rhodes left everyone else outside, because once it is calculated according to the level cap, then the chaos monsters summoned by the door stone must be at the same level as Rhodes, and the others naturally cannot be their opponents. Rhodes brought his men down this time to familiarize them with the properties of the Chaos Lands, not to send them to their deaths. But the other party didn't tell them anything about the danger, and if Rhodes rushed in with a large group of people, it would be lively...............

If he can purify the door stone, that old guy really has a reason to go crazy with himself. At least the safety of the shelter can be guaranteed, if not, then the strength of myself and the others will also be greatly damaged, maybe they will be completely explained here, and it is impossible to threaten the safety of the shelter............ Jiang is really still old and spicy, so they don't suffer any loss.

The reason why she took Annie, in addition to her excellent fighting talent, was because of the shield in Annie's hand that was completely immune to the invasion of chaos. In this regard, Annick is a little more "invincible" than Rod.

After briefly explaining to Anne the "boss" they were going to face, Rhodes had already walked out of the tunnel and into a round, wide hall. As you can tell from the dusty decorations, this was once a luxurious place, but now, there is only a faint shimmering light, and a sphere suspended in the air that appears to be wrapped in black.

Looking at the orb, Rhodes took a half-step forward with the Shadow Sword in his hand.

"Click."

“——————！！”

At that moment, the ball that had been suspended in the air suddenly began to expand, and then it was dim, and the raging waves like flowing water erupted from it, enveloping most of the ground.

Immediately afterward, the dark water began to surge, condense, and form new entities. (To be continued......)
