Chapter 886 - Crisscrossed Fantasies (1)
The current situation was horrendous for Rhode.
Although he didn’t have the experience of fighting the enemy ‘Marlene’ in the game, the fact that she had defeated over 10 player groups proved that she wasn’t easy to deal with. On the other hand, the enemy angel was the biggest trouble. In the game, Rhode selected the Soul Messenger talent tree as his main attacking build. But now, due to the holy sword cards, his battle style leaned more toward sneaky tactics. The only advantage his group had now was him against his other self because he couldn’t be more familiar with his battle style. On the contrary, his other self knew nothing about his current sword skills. Since both of them couldn’t summon any spirits, experience was the key in this battle. If Rhode recalled correctly, his other self was clad in a defense set armor with the undead immunity, which was basically worn against the Undead Army when he was level 60. Although the level of this armor wasn’t as high as [Spirit’s Prisoner], [Historical Wing], and [Sisko’s Fantasy], the set armor enhanced his attributes and it could be said that both sides were almost on par in defense.
If Rhode could use his spiritual powers, he would immediately activate [Self-Affirmation] to raise his strength to level 85 and slaughter his other self. But now, he could only rely on the foundations of his sword skills.
As for the enemy Lize, her ability to fly was a huge advantage, not to mention her powerful strength and defense as an angel. Without the support of the spiritual energy, no one in Rhode’s group could possibly fly like her.
Rhode had two choices now—either focus on only one target and unleash all their attacks or deal with their respective enemies by themselves. The person who defeated their other self would then assist the others.
However, both choices weren’t great. It was still doable for Anne, but Lize and Marlene didn’t practice close-combat strategies with Rhode at all. He would be thankful if they didn’t mess up his formation, not to mention coordinate perfectly. The second choice wasn’t too reliable either. Even if Marlene could resist the enemy’s attack, Lize surely couldn’t defeat the angel by herself.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded before Rhode made his decision.
“You girls deal with your other selves. I will settle this man!”
Darn it!
Rhode sulked, clutching his sword firmly. He stooped over slightly and at the same time, he exuded a violent burst of murderous aura. The enemy instantly displayed an astonished expression.
“Oh? You’re revealing your tricks so soon?”
“You said that we’re the same person, so of course I know what you’re thinking.”
Rhode twitched his brow and said.
“How interesting.”
His other self showed a stern expression and raised his sword.
“It seems like you’ve gotten some fun things in this world. Although I know you won’t give up, I’m the same too despite being a fate image. I don’t want to give up like an NPC. Alright then, let’s have a good one.”
The man displayed a smile; a smile that Rhode couldn’t be more familiar with.
At the next moment, the dark violent whirlwind and swift shadow clashed.
