Chapter 450 - Hidden Technique
“Celestina! What do you think you’re doing?” Rhode recognized the thorny whip as he dodged to the side, at the same time, angrily reprimanding the demonic young lady. Rhode had decided to defeat this Undead Keeper by himself while Celia and Celestina would join Anne in cleaning up the critters. However, Celestina chose to disobey his command and attack the Undead Keeper instead?
“I’m trying to help you, of course. Master, just this pig alone is enough to make you so miserable. How weak…” Celestina said in a self-righteous tone.
“Idiot, release your whip!” Rhode blew his top at Celestina’s suicidal approach because he knew how strong the Undead Keeper was. Although he wasn’t sure how powerful Celestina would be once she regained her true powers, at this moment, she didn’t stand a chance against this formidable Undead Keeper!
Celestina furrowed her brows and barely spared a glance for Rhode. “Master, it’s just a weak little undead creature, you must be exaggera-… Ahh!”
The Undead Keeper perked up its bound arm and flung Celestina into the air instantly. However, as a mighty demon was not to be trifled with, Celestina released her whip hurriedly in midair and chanted a strange, muffled curse as she placed her hands on her chest. Then, she pointed a finger and projected a red light beam which struck the Undead Keeper’s arm immediately.
The Undead Keeper’s thick, swollen arm exploded from the inside-out due to Celestina’s unknown spell. In an instant, its flesh spattered and the repulsive liquid splashed towards everyone.
“Dodge!” Rhode was feeling awfully hopeless at this point in time.
Fortunately, Anne with her rich battle experience, raised her shield to protect herself as soon as she smelled the stench. On the other hand, Celia and Delno weren’t any worse either. In a blink of an eye, two defense barriers flickering with radiance emerged before them. Gillian, on the other hand, was in a safe position as she stood the furthest away after Rhode instructed her to not get involved with this battle.
Everyone reacted quickly except for Celestina, who was in midair. She flapped her wings innately to dodge the venomous fluid splashing towards her. The Undead Keeper was surprisingly unconcerned about its injuries and it extended its bombarded arm towards Celestina!
“What a nuisance!” Rhode gnashed his teeth.
If it weren’t for Celestina’s attack, the Undead Keeper wouldn’t have smashed the ground that quickly!
But now…
Rhode gazed at his daggers hesitantly. Suddenly, laughter rang in his ears again.
“Huhuhu…”
“Hehehe…”
Rhode discovered that the attributes of these two daggers had a sudden transformation. Previously, the magical radiance shimmering on the blades was dim and bleak. And now, the daggers laid in complete stillness with their dusky blades.
At the same time, a system prompt emerged before him .
[Hidden Technique Activated — Dawn Destroyer]
“—!” The dagger in Rhode’s hand abruptly extended and transformed into a dusky, pitch-black blade.
