Chapter 455 - Mission Completed
“Mr. Rhode, what are your next plans?” Metzel questioned as he gazed at the wretched Battle Angel lady.
He turned his gaze towards Delno who stood beside him blankly. The spirit of this Battle Angel seemed to have been lost ever since he entered the room and witnessed his companion in this horrible state. After all, Metzel and Shirley were saddened by the Battle Angel lady’s tragic experience even after spending only a few days with her previously. No matter what, Angels were the representative of kindness. Even though they might be stubborn and inflexible in different situations, it was this quality of theirs that had become the spirit humans longed for. Therefore, no matter what, Metzel and Shirley clearly refused to see an Angel pass on in such a tragic fate.
Rhode didn’t respond to Metzel’s question immediately. Instead, he turned around to the young ladies beside him. “Anne, search for any loots outside with Gillian. Also, check if the Lich left behind anything worthy. By the way, be careful of magical traps. Listen to Gillian’s instructions and don’t touch anything that you shouldn’t.”
“Yes, Leader.” Anne smiled and nodded slightly before grabbing Gillian’s hand. “Let’s go, Sister Gillian. I wanna see if that skeleton left anything good for us.”
“No problem, Miss Anne. Relax, we have a lot of time on our hands…” Gillian winked cheekily at Rhode before leaving the room with Anne.
Metzel sighed and exhorted softly. “Shirley, go check out the outside, just in case.”
“Ah… Okay…” The Thief young lady was about to object, but she swallowed her words after glancing at the Battle Angel’s ashen corpse and agreed. She exited the room and closed the door to isolate herself from the sick, repulsive room reeking of blood.
Thud. The closing sound of the door echoed in the dark, lifeless room and nobody spoke. After a few moments, Rhode gave Metzel the answer to his question like a delayed response from an online character who had just reconnected to the game. “Our guild has taken up a mission to eliminate the undead creatures occupying Castel Plateau Ruins. So, we need evidence to prove that we have completed this mission… This phylactery is very crucial and we are bringing it back with us.”
“This…” Metzel sensed Delno’s grim expression worsening. After all, these two fraternal Battle Angels had travelled the surface together. Metzel could understand Delno’s wishes to avoid presenting his companion’s current, sorrowful state to others.
Another spell card.
This was the third spell card in Rhode’s possession, with the other two spell cards being Gillian’s. However, this card didn’t resemble the system spell cards. Instead, it seemed to only be used for summoning undead creatures. As a matter of fact, this card seemed rather weak and according to the description of its effects, Rhode could turn a maximum of 30 corpses into undead creatures for his disposal. However, what could these 30 undead creatures possibly do? Rhode’s current enemies weren’t humans and this card was basically useless. Furthermore, he was currently under the protection of the Light Dragon Soul and in the land of the Munn Kingdom, he would be seeking death if he were to use this undead spell-like card… As for the Country of Darkness? They were all true blood Undead Mages who could easily manipulate tens of thousands of undead creatures. The undead creatures in Rhode’s possession were nothing more than a little dot to them, so what was the point?
“Hmm…” Rhode kept the card as he shook his head hopelessly. Then, he gazed at the next reward: Construct Guards Defense Formation.
This was the best haul for Rhode and with this Defense Formation and Lapis’ abilities as an Alchemist Master, there wouldn’t be a problem increasing the Fortress’s defense. As for the final reward…
[Mission Reward Received — Fantasy Key. Constructable]
“Eh?” Rhode widened his eyes in surprise. “What’s this?”
