Summoning the Holy Sword

Rhode’s twin daggers slashed the dark flames and he arrived by Corina’s side instantly. Although the Moon Elf was rather bad at communicating, her movements quickened as soon as she realized that the situation had to be settled with a battle. If not, her grand Legendary Status would be a total fluke.

As Rhode charged forward, the others also prepared for their attacks. Even though they weren’t aware of why the Supervisor attacked, it was apparent that this Angel was an enemy.

Di moved his right arm in midair mellifluously. A puff of red mist appeared from thin air and shrouded the Supervisor. Meanwhile, the Undead Knight raised her longsword and charged forward from the side dauntlessly while coordinating with Rhode’s movements. Corina twitched her fingers and projected three golden rays from her fingertips which accurately aimed towards the vital part of the Supervisor. The Elderly Mage chanted as he lifted his staff and silverish magical rays erupted from the tip of his staff. The radiant rays continued to weave towards the wall and trapped everyone in the shape of a cage.

This was a special skill that all Mages in the Order Alliance possessed, the ‘Cage of Order’. These Mages battled for the sake of Order just like the Sacred Knights. However, compared to the Sacred Knights who were full of religious fanaticism, these Mages possessed natures that benefited themselves more. The more perfect the Order of a land, the more powerful their magical powers were. This was also why all the Mages in the Order Alliance were cultivated to cast the Cage of Order. No matter where or who they fought against, they could easily gain the upper hand as long as they casted this forcefield.

The Elderly Mage with Legendary powers could cast a powerful Order Forcefield. However, after his strength was weakened by the Chaos Flame, he could only cast a forcefield that was the size of a room. But this was more than enough for them.

Indeed, as the final silver ray connected, they felt the weight on their shoulders lighten and Corina and Di sensed their strength restoring gradually.

Even in the face of Chaos, Order was still everywhere.

“…!” Unlike them, the Angel let out a hateful snarl. She turned towards the Elderly Mage and extended her hand furiously. However, everyone’s attack had arrived and she was forced to retreat. At the same time, the Chaos Flame continued to blaze forward.

The three rays of arrows penetrated the dark flames and the Angel folded her wings before her to defend against them. Even though the glaring arrows dimmed dramatically after phasing through the flames, they eventually exploded into golden dust as they landed on the wings. The impact shook the Angel slightly, but she once again spread her wings and the Chaos Flames abruptly transformed into a seven-headed serpent and pounced forward with razor-sharp fangs.

Di and the Elderly Mage were profound Mages and they definitely knew what Rhode’s attack meant. It wasn’t the summoned tentacles from Hell that were astonishing; instead, it was Rhode’s method of summoning them without any chants or hand gestures that baffled them. In fact, all Rhode did was retreat and the Nether Tentacles appeared out of nowhere. This was really strange.

However, the next scene confused them even further.

Rhode heaved a sigh of relief as soon as the Nether Tentacles obstructed the Chaos Flame. In a blink of an eye, Rhode darted forward with the twin daggers laid in a cross. Dazzling, brilliant rays erupted from Madaras and Gracier as Rhode brandished them with all his might. Shing! Countless meteors tore apart the darkness.

Not only that, there were two cards hidden amongst the meteors.

A black and white figure emerged almost instantly.

“You’re great at finding trouble for me!” Celestina appeared in front of the Undead Knight and at the side of the Supervisor. She let out a snort and lashed her thorny whip that burst out speckles of maroon radiance towards the Angel. The Angel stood still and Celestina’s whip struck a hexagonal crystal barrier instead. Celestina revealed an expression of surprise, but she realized the problem quickly. Soon, the Demon lady stepped back gracefully and extended her fair, tender left arm with fingers pointing at the Angel. In the blink of an eye, a ray of negative powers shot out from her fingertips. However, the crystal barrier defended the attack and its clear surface blurred instantly.

At the same time, Celia charged over with her sword.

Everyone, apart from Rhode, was baffled by the emergence of these two young ladies. However, Celia and Celestina had no intentions of introducing themselves and the others came to the realization that these two young ladies were on their side. Since that was the case, they had better off leaving the questions until after the battle.

But Celia and Celestina weren’t powerful enough.

Currently, the sisters were still weaker than Rhode in terms of strength. Although they had substantial growth throughout their adventures and especially after the battle in Castel Plateau Ruins, their strengths had reached the peak of the Elite Stage at best. Celia and Celestina launched their attacks at the Supervisor together. However, their threats weren’t any stronger than the Undead Knight’s and it seemed as though they were more of a hindrance instead.

However, Rhode didn’t send them out just for show.

He gazed at the two young ladies and shifted his thoughts. Then, a system prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Activate Taboo Halo]

Rhode felt his body shivering and shapeless powers were released from his body abruptly. He lifted his chin and gazed at the system prompt silently.

[Holy Sword Star Mark — LV20, Offense 11 (+3) Defense 10 (+3) Limit Breakthrough]

[Holy Sword Incubi — LV20, Offense 13 (+3) Defense 9 (+3) Limit Breakthrough]

The momentum of the battlefield shifted suddenly.

The Undead Knight took a step back and gazed at Celia with her flourishing red eyes. The Angel lady lifted her sword high with silverish flames spiraling into a massive blade of flames. On the other side, Celestina laughed grimly as she expanded her pitch-black wings. She swung her arms and the thorny whips on her hands shed off layer upon layer. Then, the thorny whip was replaced by an ice-cold radiance. That was a metallic whip edged with razor-sharp blades and the blade at the end of the whip were still wandering slowly as though it were alive.

“This…” Everyone froze to the spot as they couldn’t believe what they had sensed. The strength of these two young ladies enhanced rapidly. The Angel lady leaped from the Elite Stage into the peak of the Master Stage while the Demon lady was even more terrifying. She had instantly ascended into the Legendary Stage!

Oh my goodness. Are we dreaming?
