Chapter 868 - The Test (3)
“One down.”
Rhode gazed at the two remaining Spirit Swordsmen. Then, he swept a glance at the unconscious Soul Messenger Spirit Swordsman on the ground. The airstream erupted from his blade didn’t injure her greatly since she was in the Legendary Stage, after all. However, her leather armor and cape weren’t that fortunate. Underneath the hood was a young lady who was around 18 years old and had a full head of white, shoulder-length hair draping over her shoulders. However, unlike Marlene’s silver-whitish hair, this young lady’s white hair was more pale like it was man-made. Like the residents here, she had two antenna-looking objects sticking out from her temples, which was hidden inside her hair. Not only that, but Rhode also realized that this young lady was ridiculously pale, and there wasn’t any color on her skin and lips at all.
Although mutants existed in the Tinder Origin due to the lack of Order… Judging from this young lady, she didn’t seem like a mutant at all. Instead, she seemed more like a strange race out of the Behermes or Dark Elves. But would this be possible among humans?
Rhode narrowed his eyes and scanned the two Spirit Swordsmen. The Hell Lord Spirit Swordsman didn’t seem mindful of his gaze, but on the other hand, the Summoning Master Spirit Swordsman who was shorter and had a smaller build instinctively took a step back, protecting his chest vigilantly.
Second target decided!
Rhode smirked and burst toward the Summoning Master Spirit Swordsman.
“Stay away!”
It was apparent that the Summoning Master was incredibly tense, and Rhode instantly heard a shriek of a young girl. The Summoning Master Spirit Swordsman hurriedly lifted her left arm with a glimmering yellow card in hand. Then, the ground rumbled and gigantic rock serpents burst out of the ground, pouncing on Rhode immediately. However, Rhode chuckled inwardly.
Newbie. You still have much more to learn.
Rhode said inwardly. It seemed like although the Hell Lord Spirit Swordsman was inexperienced, he wasn’t that dumb, where he used the chance and summoned his creatures into position while Rhode attacked the Summoning Master Spirit Swordsman. Hell Lord Spirit Swordsmen were experts in winning battles with quantity. Currently, even though the skeletal soldiers weren’t strong, they were more than enough to obstruct Rhode’s movements. But…
Rhode scoffed.
It wasn’t a good habit for a Spirit Swordsman to hide behind the safety of his spirits. It seemed like these newbies had a lot to learn. Since he’s this passionate for knowledge, I shall be the good guy and teach him the ways of a Spirit Swordsman.
Defense Formation!
The Spear Defenders raised their shields and encircled Rhode and the other Spirit Swordsman swiftly, in order to stop the skeleton soldiers. On the other hand, the skeleton soldiers didn’t launch their attacks instantly. Instead, they merely surrounded the Spear Defenders.
Rhode was slightly surprised. Then, his eyes glinted in a certain realization. At the next moment, he knelt and blended into the Spear Defenders’ shadow and disappeared to nowhere.
“Will Mr. Rhode be alright?”
Lize held her hands together worriedly. No matter what, the sudden appearance of so many Undead Creatures was rather terrifying. On the other hand, Marlene observed the battle in silence because she was confident that Rhode wouldn’t fall in a battle of such a standard. Meanwhile, Anne watched the battle in anticipation.
What is… going to happen next?
The Hell Lord Spirit Swordsman gazed at the Spear Defenders who were swarmed by the skeletal soldiers. He was out of ideas. It didn’t seem like the skeletal soldiers could break down the Spear Defenders’ defense anytime. What should I do next?
“You don’t have to do anything.”
A casual voice sounded in his ear. The Hell Lord Spirit Swordsman was shook. He hurriedly leapt and looked back at his shadow. Previously, he realized that Rhode had a technique that allowed him to attack from the shadows. Is he about to use the same technique? I won’t let him!
The Hell Lord Spirit Swordsman hurled two summoning cards that instantly transformed into armored Death Knights, who brandished their blades at the shadow. But…
“It seems like you need to learn the basics as a Spirit Swordsman. You shouldn’t let your spirits take the bullet for you.”
Shing!
The Hell Lord Spirit Swordsman’s shadow writhed and a dozen tentacles shot out and bound him and the two Death Knights. At the next moment, a pitch-black blade silently struck out from the mass of tentacles and pressed against his neck.
“You lose.”
