Dark clouds covered the sky, and the dim ground was full of wolves. The spiraling staircase, the bloodstained corpses, the armor, the weapons, everything was so chaotic, desolate, smelled of death and danger.

Rod took a breath, but he didn't feel the cold and blood in the air, it was just a game. Thinking of this, Rod shook his head with a wry smile, and then, he turned around and looked at the comrades who were sitting cross-legged on the ground not far below him, who were resting quietly at the moment, recovering their strength and repairing their weapons. On the surface, it looks no different from usual, but Rhodes knows very well that this battle is not as easy as before.

"How many people stayed."

He asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the group looked at each other, and then a scrawny mage stood up.

"Ninety-six, Captain, this copy of the Void Dragon is even more dangerous than we thought, many brothers are hanging in the previous trap, the only fortunate thing is that now our profession is quite neat."

"That's fine."

Hearing this, Rhodes nodded and said nothing, while the others were equally silent.

If it were an ordinary team, I'm afraid that at this time they would have already lost their courage and started to mess up, after all, what they are about to face is the most powerful and terrifying elite boss in the game, the Void Dragon, the final boss of the third chapter of the online game Dragon Soul Continent, and the most terrifying existence so far. In the face of such a battle, ordinary guilds have to organize at least ten regiments before they dare to come and try to challenge, and now, there are only ninety-six people under Rhodes, and they can't even get together a complete regiment, but even so, there is no panic and panic in the eyes of these people, and some are just calm, confident and trusting.

And the person they trusted so much was standing on the stairs not far in front of them at the moment, looking up at the sky, and on his face as resolute as a stone, a cold scar cut down his eyebrows, giving people a shocking feeling. The armor that shone with the brilliance of magic covered the majestic body, like a wall that would never fall.

Of course, they don't trust the man in front of them because of the majesty shown on the outside, no matter how tough they are, it's just a game character design, and the scar on the eyebrows has nothing to tell about the painful past, just an accessory when the game sets the face.

What is truly deterrent is the countless halos and achievements behind this man.

The first pro gamer to reach the top.

The first player to summon a swordsman to the top using what is considered to be the most difficult class.

Since the opening of the first chapter of the Dragon Soul Continent "Darkness Descending", he led the guild, relying on his own ability, and the terrifying degree of familiarity with all classes to mastery, swept through the entire three data quarters, and won the leader of the first kill of all bosses. Every copy video will be reprinted by countless players, regarded as a teaching canon-like existence, the leader of the first player guild in the Dragon Soul Continent ——— Rod.

He once personally eliminated the "Darkness Descending", opened the "Turbulent Age", and once again conquered the "Turbulent Age" and came to the "Void Judgment". And now, he will once again use his own hands to end this "Void Judgment", but the new era is no longer opened by himself.

How many years has it been?

Rhodes withdrew his gaze from the sea of clouds that shone with the Thunder Serpent in the distance, and asked himself inwardly.

Since his sister died of illness, it has been seven years since he entered the Dragon Soul Continent, and in these seven years, in order to force himself to forget the painful past, he has set himself almost unattainable goals again and again, and then achieved them again and again, and only the great excitement and glory brought by that time will dilute the residual pain in his heart.

However, it can only go so far.

A month ago, Rhodes' parents were killed in a plane crash due to a hurricane while they were away on a business trip, and Rhodes has lost count of how he felt when he received the call, but now he has made a decision. Leaving the game and going back to real life is not only for the sake of his parents, but Rhodes also knows that the time has come for him to make a change. …,

"Yes, President?"

A timid voice sounded, interrupting Rod's memories, and he looked up to see a female mage in the crowd timidly raising her hand, her eyes shining at her.

"You, are you really leaving?"

"Yes."

Rod nodded, and then collected the complex emotions in his heart, he shook his head, and looked back at the companions who followed him, these are his memories and gains in the past seven years, and the friends he has gained in the seven years of struggle together. But now, he will eventually leave them, although in the game, even with just a gesture, he can become familiar with what the other person wants to do. But when you take off the game helmet and return to reality, I'm afraid you won't be able to recognize each other again.

"My resume was sent out yesterday, and I hope to find a company that accepts me."

"If I receive your resume, I will directly arrange for you to be the department manager, don't worry!"

A knight brandished the big sword in his hand, and his words also brought about the originally somewhat dull atmosphere, and everyone laughed.

"Thank you for your kindness, it's a pity that I didn't write this in my resume, you must know that our guild has many enemies, and if it is received by someone from other guilds, then my life will not be easy."

Rod also smiled and replied, and then, he coughed and became serious.

"I think everyone knows how we've come over the years."

Hearing this, everyone who was still laughing just now closed their mouths and quietly began to listen to him.

"We also know that on the forums and on the Internet, there are many people who accuse us, they say that we have ruined the balance of the game, monopolized all the boss first kills, and made the competition meaningless......... Frankly, I don't think there's anything wrong with any of this, but ......"

Speaking of this, Rod suddenly clenched his fist and swung it hard.

"But what does it matter to us! We are the strongest guild, we are the strongest team! We have the strength! Then we're going to do it, go grab it! The other guilds are not strong enough, and it is their own problem to lose, if their strength is strong enough, then they can break our monopoly, our monopoly on the first kill of the boss is not based on rules, not by status, not by touting the game company, we rely on our own strength to obtain! We never give up, we never admit defeat, and we never slack off, that's why we have the results and everything we deserve, it's that simple. ”

Rod paused, then continued.

"I love this guild, and I miss the seven years I spent with you, but there is no such thing as a feast, and I should find my own life. However, I will never forget everyone, nor will I forget the guild, which carries my most painful memories and the happiest memories here, and I will always remember it here. ”

As he spoke, Rod pointed to his head.

"A lot of people say that this guild won't be able to play without me, I think there are many guilds who have known the news now, and they probably plan to wait for me to leave, sharpening their knives and waiting to drive the guild down and break our record, but this is too underestimating us. Dragon Soul is not a game where I am alone, I can't build a guild alone, I can't organize a team by myself, and it's impossible to kill the boss and get the first kill. So I hope that after I'm gone, you can let those guys with ghost ideas take a good look at why this guild is so powerful, and the reason why our starlight can occupy the first place in the Dragon Soul Continent Guild's true strength! ”

"Yes!"

"No problem, President!"

"Leave it to us, and we'll give those idiots a perfect answer by then!"

"Good."

Hearing the crowd's answers, Rhodes nodded, then turned to the right side of the crowd.

"Lao Liu."

Hearing Rod's greeting, the tall and thin mage walked out of the crowd and came to his side, Rod stared at the mage in front of him, was silent for a moment, and then reached out and took off the badge on his chest and placed it in his hand.

[System Announcement: Guild President Position Transfer, Regiment Leader Position Transfer]

"The next era is your time."

Rod let go of his hand, his voice was very calm and did not change in the slightest. …,

"So, this battle is in command for you."

"Okay, no problem, Rod."

The mage nodded, but soon, he spoke again.

"Then, as the guild leader, as the head of the group, I order you to lead the team."

"Lao Liu?"

Hearing this answer, Rod couldn't help frowning in surprise. At this time, the tall and thin mage who faced him smiled lightly, and then patted Rod on the shoulder.

"This era was started by you, there is a beginning and an end, Rod, this is the way of being a man."

“………………”

Hearing this, Rhodes fell silent, he raised his head and looked at his companions not far in front of him, who were ready at the moment and were waiting for his orders as always. Rhodes clenched his sword, then turned to face the high platform not far in front of him, where the thunder raged and roared with bright brilliance.

Then, Rod raised his sword and pointed forward, he had a most ordinary beginning, then, let's have a most ordinary end.

"Blame!!"

The Void Dragon is truly formidable.

Rhodes has fought with almost all the top bosses in the Dragon Soul Continent, and even other dragon souls in the setting, but none of them are more tricky than the Void Dragon in front of him, its attack pattern is more complex, there is almost no regularity, its damage is several times higher than that of ordinary bosses, not to mention speed, reaction, and even in terms of defense, it has a super-first-class level.

This is indeed a difficult opponent to conquer.

Rhodes held the long sword in his hand, gritted his teeth and stared at the behemoth in front of him, the battle had reached the last moment, and he was the only survivor, but even so, Rhodes's blood was already empty, and the dazzling red reminded him that his vitality had reached its limit.

What about the Void Dragon?

Looking at the other party's blood-red, angry dragon eyes, Rhodes suddenly had a very strange feeling, as if he could understand the mood of the Void Dragon - as the most powerful boss in the game and never conquered, it must feel uncomfortable now that it has fallen to the ground like this.

So, let me go with you.

Thinking of this, Rod raised his left hand.

With a crisp chirp, Rhodes's sword suddenly burst into flames, and they circled and turned into a flying firebird, raising their heads to the sky, rushing towards the Void Dragon in front of them, and in the face of this oncoming attack, the Void Dragon also let out a roar, and then raised its front paws high and swooped down.

“！！！”

Rhodes felt his body shake suddenly, and a powerful force rushed towards him, and the flamingo was immediately dissipated after a mournful roar, but the powerful explosion before it disappeared also made the claws that the Void Dragon had originally swung not fully worked, but were violently shaken away.

For a moment, the empty door was wide open.

Rod gritted his teeth, and the bright red in front of him became more and more dazzling, indicating that the damage he had received had reached a critical point, but now that it was no longer in his consideration, this was the last chance, either success or annihilation. He raised the sword in his hand and stabbed it forward, but the Void Dragon had already relented, it roared, and then swung its claws at the bow again, and at the same time, Rhodes threw the sword in his hand.

Thunder strikes, starts.

The sword turned into a dazzling light and shot straight into the dragon's chest, and Rhodes watched intently as the light mixed with thunder and lightning emerged from the gaps in the Void Dragon's claws, and then easily tore the dragon's scales apart.

“———！！！”

A deafening dragon roar erupted on the ground, and then the huge dragon claws slammed into Rod's body.

The bright red in front of him almost enveloped the entire world, and Rhodes could no longer see the scene in front of him clearly, but the system prompt that emerged from the corner was still as clear as ever.

[Congratulations to the Starlight Guild for winning the first kill of the Void Dragon, and an eternal evil has been destroyed]

[Character takes overdose and is dying]

It's finally over.

Looking at this line of system prompts, Rod showed a smile of relief.

And at this moment, suddenly a bright pillar of light fell from the sky and shrouded the high platform.

The pure white light illuminated the originally gloomy sky in that moment, dispelling the originally lingering clouds.

And at this moment, the others who were resurrecting from the cemetery and rushing towards the high platform suddenly stopped, and the boiling World Realm Channel, which was originally making a fuss because the Starlight Guild had once again achieved the first kill record, suddenly quieted down at this moment.

For a while, there was only one piece of information left on it, and that was a system announcement.

[System Announcement: Player Rhodes has gone offline]

A saga that has ruled three entire gaming eras has come to an end.
