Chapter 240 - The Sealed Place (10)
The scorching ray flashed in the air. Fortunately, it missed Rhode and changed its direction toward the crystal ball instead.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a series of explosion, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the dozen crystal balls were nowhere to be seen.
What happened?
The giant of light was appalled. He didn’t expect the light ray to change its trajectory by itself. But he didn’t have the time to consider how all this happened because, at this moment, Rhode dashed over.
Rhode spiralled into the air and slashed a perfect arc with his crimson blade, piercing right into the giant of light.
“How dare you!”
The giant of light let out a bellow. His right arm transformed into an enormous, razor-sharp blade of light and slashed toward Rhode swiftly. If Rhode didn’t dodge, he would surely be dead. However, he didn’t have any reactions at all as though he had disregarded the menacing attack.
“Leader!”
Fortunately, he immediately returned to his normal size after witnessing the enormous threat before his eyes. Not only did his enormous size not give him any advantage, but it also stopped him from dodging Rhode’s attack. Moreover, Gillian’s opportunistic attacks were like adding salt to his wounds. He swung his hands forward and the coalesced light energy around his body spread out abruptly. In the blink of an eye, light figures appeared all around Rhode.
“Gillian!”
Rhode called out. He had a solution for this situation.
Gillian swiftly retreated. At the same time, she swung both her hands forward and countless fireballs pounced on the crystal balls. The explosions went on for a while and the crystal balls hovering in midair reduced to one fifth of their size. At this moment, about half the number of light figures surrounding Rhode had also disappeared.
Although Gillian’s powers weren’t as powerful as before, she still had absolute control over her flame forte, albeit her attacks lacking a bit in damage. If the fireballs under Gillian’s full potential were considered guided missiles, then the destruction from her fireballs now were only that of grenades. However, from a certain perspective, the difference between 1000 grenades and 1000 guided missiles wasn’t actually that huge.
This was why she chose to win via quantity. Of course, Rhode once doubted this. Since her abilities were limited, why did she chose to use small fireballs? A fire elemental lord should have had many more choices.
However, bombarding the enemy was the best way for her… And Rhode was left speechless.
Who kind of person is he?!
Rafah became completely lost in fear, as he didn’t expect that anybody would be this formidable. Even though this man didn’t come up with a wide range of countermeasures, each countermeasure he chose was very effective. Not only that, this man also knew the secrets of this room. How was that possible? This place was supposed to be the top secret of the Behermes Family, and not even Lapis had been here before, so this man shouldn’t have been aware of it at all!
Rafah definitely wouldn’t know the answers to these questions. Although it appeared to Rafah that Rhode had stepped into this place for the first time, Rhode had actually defeated the boss of this dungeon until he was sick and tired of it. This boss was merely a spirit slightly over level 20 who knew how to use magical artifacts and manipulate magical crystal balls. Rhode had to destroy the crystal ball first before gathering his attacks altogether on the boss. If Rhode attempted to defeat this boss before he advanced in levels, it might be too difficult. However, his current level was higher than this giant of light and furthermore, Gillian was by his side too. So wasn’t this all too easy for him?
The longer the battle continued, the more fearful Rafah was. He realised that this mysterious man wasn’t as easy to deal with as he expected. Right now, he couldn’t even think of a way to make use of Rhode in cracking down on Lapis as Rhode’s attack could inflict damage on himself. Not only that, this young man even knew the weaknesses of the central core. The central core of the Behermes was a magical space formed by past Behermians through alchemist skills. They sealed their own corpses into a magical crystal and used the crystal’s powers to maintain the lifespans of their spirits. As days passed, other than the spirits who lay undiscovered here, this secret was never leaked. But this young man appeared extremely familiar with this place. He even ignored the presence of Rafah’s phantom and figure and continued to attack the crystal ball!
This can’t go on!
Rafah’s heart sank. He hadn’t experience such anxiousness for a long, long time. He looked at the crystal ball that was slowly shedding and losing its magical powers under the attacks of Rhode and Gillian. This was definitely something that Rafah didn’t wish to see.
There was no other way.
Rafah no longer hesitated. He swung his hands forward and suddenly, the whole area shone brightly. After a few moments, Rhode, Gillian, and Rafah were surrounded by a dazzling radiance, then disappeared.
However, this was only for an instant.
In a blink of an eye, all 3 of them reappeared. However, this time, Rhode and Gillian were thrown into the left and right corners of this huge area. It was as though a pair of huge hands had positioned them. Then, Rafah flew into the air and stood at Gillian’s previous position.
“Meet your doom!”
Rafah let out a snarl while raising both hands. Shortly after, the entire room flickered, trembled, and powerful magical powers erupted. The crystal balls had become glaring suns.
Lapis shrieked in horror and shut her eyes tight.
A powerful shockwave came thereafter.
