Chapter 573 - Snow
Dazzling blade rays flashed.
Speckles of stars fluttered in the pitch-black room and the wall and ground before him were scarred by ferocious blade airstreams. Rhode nodded in satisfaction and flipped his wrists around. The weapons in his hands reverted into two daggers and slid back into their sheaths.
The effects were great, but not to perfection yet. There were still areas that needed to improve. However, Rhode had taken a liking to this new swordsmanship which confirmed his guesses and thoughts. He didn’t need to consider how to create a swordsmanship. As long as the suitable stats were superimposed, the system would naturally create a swordsmanship that was suitable for him.
The corner of Rhode’s mouth twitched and he couldn’t wait to head back into the Fortress and practice with Canary and Bubble. Currently, they were the only ones qualified in strength to go through training with Rhode. And now, Rhode was imagining how they would react when they witnessed his newly created swordsmanship.
After the [Moon Shadow] and [Disillusionment] had fused, the values of the swordsmanship attribute in the Initial Stage were as follows—[Agility] had 7 points, [Flexibility] had 6 points, and [Explosiveness] had reached 8 points. This signified that as long as Rhode struck first, it would be extremely difficult for his opponent to counterattack unless the opponent was in the Legendary Stage. [Adaptability] had 5 points and although it wasn’t too significant, it was more than enough for the four Holy Swords in Rhode’s possession and there wouldn’t be any problems for him to switch between weapons.
Clap clap clap. Soft claps sounded behind Rhode. He turned around and nodded slightly. At this moment, someone knocked on his door and Lize’s voice sounded. “Mr. Rhode, are you asleep? Anne and I have brought you some food…”
Food?
Rhode was shocked to realize that his stomach had been empty for a long time. Although it didn’t take long for him to annihilate the Ice Devil, he had immediately jumped into retrieving the system rewards and mission remunerations and didn’t join in the celebration feast organized by the Greenery Town residents. Moreover, he focused all his attention on creating the swordsmanship and now that he had finally completed it, it was already night time. He had missed two meals in a row and spent a lot of energy racking his brains over modifying the swordsmanship. Although he wouldn’t starve to death in a day without food with his physique, he wasn’t a masochist, after all.
“Come in,” said Rhode.
“Ah. I see,” said Anne.
Although Anne seemed to have been enlightened, Rhode was sure that she didn’t understand it at all. But Rhode left it as it was because he knew that no matter how hard he explained, she still wouldn’t get it. As Anne wormed her way into knowing Snow, Rhode turned to Lize.
“Lize, surely you didn’t look for me at this hour just for this, right?”
“Eh?” Lize let out an awkward cough and nodded slightly. “Yes, Mr. Rhode. I’ve heard from Mr. Walker… A large-scale of the Southern Legion has assembled up north.”
