Chapter 840 - Chaos Core (2)
“Will Mr. Rhode and Anne be fine?”
Lize prayed as she placed her hands on her chest worriedly and gazed at the metallic door. Although she knew that Rhode could summon a powerful army anytime he wanted, she couldn’t help but feel worried about the situation. No matter what, he was a man she liked and admired.
“What if something bad happens…”
“Lize, Rhode will be fine. Don’t worry.”
On the contrary, Marlene crossed her arms and scanned quietly at the houses below them. Although they were both concerned about Rhode, they faced the situation with entirely different attitudes.
“Rhode knows what he’s doing. If he isn’t confident, he won’t risk his life. Besides, you’re also aware that he would rather go on adventures alone if it is extremely dangerous. This time he brought Anne along because it isn’t too dangerous for them. Perhaps he would have had us tag along if we could grasp our spells in this place.”
“I know, but I’m just worried about the what-ifs… I-I’m not cursing Mr. Rhode in any way.”
Lize explained upon sensing the dissatisfied gaze from her close friend. In fact, she knew that this wasn’t right of her because it did seem like she was cursing him as he tried his best.
However, Marlene wasn’t mindful about Lize ‘cursing’ Rhode because she was aware of her character. Although Lize had grown a lot after being Rhode’s adjutant for a long time, a leopard couldn’t change its spots, after all. This was why Marlene disagreed inwardly before shifting her attention to the edge of the plaza below.
Hmm?
Boom!
A scorching wall of flames burst out of the ground and devoured the Order Refugees who leaped into midair. But at the same time, several Order Refugees also passed through the flame wall and launched their attacks.
It seemed like a battle was unavoidable.
Everyone watched vigilantly with weapons in their hands. However, it wasn’t anyone of Rhode’s subordinates who attacked first. Instead, it was the little girl who remained silent ever since Rhode entered through the metallic door.
Shing!
A shimmering flash.
The little girl dashed forward and stood before everyone. Then, without a change in her expression, she slashed the dagger and punctured the throat of one of the enemies. She knitted her brows and brandished her right hand.
“———!”
The razor-sharp blade air ripped through the Order Refugee’s body in a sharp whistling gale. Not only that, but the other Order Refugees behind the victim were also struck off. This scene left everyone baffled. They gazed at the little girl blankly and didn’t expect that she would be the one who attacked first. How was this possible? Furthermore, how did she possess such powerful strength despite her age being about the same as Christie’s? Also, they were the ones who launched the attack on the refuge first, so instead of the little girl attacking them, she chose to slaughter the Order Refugees? Shouldn’t the Order Refugees be her companions?
“As expected.”
Rhode twitched his brows. He held his sword and scanned the enemies before him. At this moment, it was no longer the dark sphere. Instead, it was a massive construct formed by Chaos crystals. It let out a menacing roar and glared fiercely at Rhode.
This old bast*rd…
Rhode gritted his teeth. It was apparent that this Chaos Creature was unlike the ones they had faced earlier.
Which idiot designed this damn refuge? Why did that idiot place the central crystal and core together? Were they sick of living?
