Chapter 801 - Return of a Hero
It was before dawn when Rhode woke up.
He felt two warm, soft sensations on his elbows. He slowly sat up on his bed and through the slight glimmer from the window, he admired the two fair young ladies laying beside him and their fragrant scents. Marlene and Lize clung onto his elbows in their slumber. He gazed at their calm sleeping faces and found it unimaginable how wild they were last night. He shook his head helplessly, extended his arms, and caressed their long hair. Ever since the three of them experienced their first night together, Marlene and Lize had been making advances on him as a duo and Rhode always dealt with them effortlessly. To the contrary, Anne was a totally different case, which was why he never agreed to Anne even though she had always tried to join in their fun. If Rhode were another man, he would be thrilled to spend the night with three gorgeous young ladies at the same time. But he didn’t think of it as something great because he only needed a few hours to handle Marlene and Lize. If Anne were to join them, who knew when he could finally get some sleep.
Rhode shook his head at this thought. Then, he got off the bed without waking them up, changed his clothes, and left the room.
“———!”
Rhode brandished his sword. The burst of blade air streamed across the night sky in trails of starry radiance. Then, the shimmering trails coalesced into silver rays that weaved across one another into a large net. Rhode took half a step forward and thrust his right hand—a shadow clone emerged and retreated from his body simultaneously. Rhode opened his eyes and flicked his wrist.
In an instant, the sacred white blade in his hand was dyed in dark colors and he lashed it forward like a black whip. Along in his movements, the huge net of silver blade rays that he had brandished slithered in all directions before him like vipers. Then, almost instantly, the net shattered and vanished into thin air.
“Tch.”
Rhode grunted and shook his head helplessly.
The experiment failed again.
Ever since he created the ‘Fantasy Daybreak’ swordsmanship with a sword creation point, his new form of entertainment was to master it. After all, all players desired having their unique swordsmanship. Even though they could modify their swordsmanship in the game, it was ultimately others’ swordsmanships. Now that Rhode finally had his very own swordsmanship, he definitely wouldn’t let this opportunity slip, especially after experiencing the sweet taste of success.
In the legends of the Dragon Soul Continent, the Astral Temple was the eternal resting place for heroic spirits and this excited him. He currently had four extraordinary holy sword cards: Celia, Celestina, Gracier, and Madaras. After the Astral Temple was built, it meant that they could summon their heroic spirits into battle! Did this also mean that godlike figures like the Carlesdine could also be summoned?
If that was the case, who could still defeat him if he used Gracier and Madaras and summoned 80 Carlesdines into battles?
Despite the exciting prospect, Rhode didn’t rush off to complete this mission due to one reason—a particular statement in the mission description.
“With your twin in the reflection, protect the sacred glory from being stained…”
Twin in the reflection. There was only one person who came to mind.
Christie.
