Summoning the Holy Sword

Gillian’s crude remarks gave Rhode an idea.

An idea that he didn’t consider feasible.

That wasn’t odd. In previous battles, Rhode acted based on his experience when it was still a game, thus, he subconsciously didn’t put much effort to think of new ideas.

He turned his head upwards towards the ceiling of the tunnel and noticed the decaying wooden beams supporting the entire tunnel. It seemed as if it would collapse if someone just shouted at the top of their voice. All the dust and sand leaked out from the earth above.

Previously, in the game, Rhode had never paid attention to these elements before since they were just special effects and ambiance, only being there for the player to immerse themselves in the game. For example, a mouth-savoring fruit couldn’t fill the stomach because it was never real, to begin with.

However, now it was different.

And this allowed Rhode to envision an idea he would have never thought of before.

“Celia, I have a plan…” Rhode whispered with a serious expression on his face.

The innocent battle angel didn’t know why but it at that moment it seemed as if his deep, black pupils shone with mischief and hope.

Every one of the mercenaries kept their silence, as if wordlessly agreeing with him.

At this moment, a white figure flashed.

“Who’s there?!”

Despite having bad human qualities, they were still mercenaries after all. Moreover, the white figure was just too darn obvious in the dark and narrow tunnel. They immediately swore as they ran towards the figure while unsheathing their weapons.

They were stunned at what they saw.

In front of them was a floating angelic beauty, expressionless and cold. It was Celia. As an angel, she sensed the filth in their souls. The impurity within them was almost suffocating, thus, Celia would never have a good impression of them.

But this time, Celia held back and didn’t strike them down. Instead, she glanced at everyone and spun around, flying off into the distance.

“Chase her!!”

A sudden shout awakened them from their stupor. They raised their weapons in the air and chased the angel. The thunderous sound of them beating their weapons together reverberated along the narrow tunnel, finally venting their anger that they had stored for so long.

The mercenaries weren’t afraid of losing sight of Celia. She wasn’t flying incredibly fast, and the shining holy aura that emitted from her wings brightened the whole tunnel like a firefly in the night. Moreover, they were getting excited because they realized that the angel was actually flying towards their companions!

Soon enough, another group of mercenaries arrived to the front and blocked the path. Witnessing this, Celia was surprised. She immediately changed direction and flew to another tunnel. The mercenaries, however, weren’t in the least bit worried because there were more people waiting for her in that direction as well!

Eventually, the mercenaries managed to trap the angel in the tunnel.

One group closed off her front and the other two groups obstructed her escape from the back. Now, once they created a blockade, they could finally feast their lecherous eyes on the angel. Even if the holy aura surrounding Celia made them slightly uncomfortable, they were still captivated by her beauty. Especially when she was trapped alone, without any room for escape, the mercenaries were compelled to fulfill their sexual desires.

So what if you’re a highly regarded angel? Now you’re trapped underground with us! Where can you run to?

Heh heh heh. We will let you taste our might after we capture you!

Fantasizing about the pleasures that yet to come, the mercenaries could feel their crotches twitching in eagerness.

If they could force the angel to the ground and rape her, even death would be worth it!

Celia could sense the insidious thoughts of the mercenaries. She frowned and flew into the nearest tunnel she could find.

This time, the mercenaries didn’t rush to chase her because they knew that it was a dead end.

This time, you got nowhere to hide, Missy.

The mercenaries smiled lewdly and walked in.

They were right. Soon, they saw the helpless angelic woman at the end of the tunnel.

Although she was in danger now, but her expression did not change at all. She stared coldly at the humans in front of her, her sword in her hands were in position for an attack.

“You can give up now, Missy.”

One of them stood in front and laughed cheekily. His greedy eyes were darting up and down, sexually violating this woman in front of him.

“You made us spend so much time to find you… Get over here! Come with us! You wouldn’t want us to harm you, right? If you come with us, I can’t guarantee you will come out unharmed.”

Celia did not reply.

She quietly lifted her head and gazed beyond the crowd and into the other end of the tunnel — Rhode was already creeping in quietly, blocking the exit. He felt Celia’s gaze and gave a slight nod.

Rhode raised his sword.

Spiritual energy started rising up from his sword. It gathered quickly at the tip of the blade, forming a shining ball of light. And at this moment, the mercenary at the back felt something was amiss and spun around. However… it was too late.

Rhode swung his sword downwards, smashing it onto the ground.

Bam!

The ball of light had disappeared, but the ground where the sword struck was in chaos. A large, circular imprint appeared on the floor as if a gigantic hammer smashed onto the ground. Spider web-like cracks spread towards all directions, causing the decaying supporting beams to tremble. Finally, it could not withstand the impact any longer, and the earth above came crashing down. Within a few seconds, the whole tunnel was buried under sand and stone. Thick dust and sand filled the air, blinding everyone momentarily.

“What are you doing!!” The mercenary that spotted Rhode bellowed.

He attempted to attack Rhode, but at Rhode already retreated to the back. A huge chunk of mud and rock came crashing down, thoroughly separating them.

“What the hell happened?!”

All the other mercenaries turned around to face this “accident”, but what they saw was a cave in.

“Damn it! We are trapped!”

“This was a trap!! Damn that angel…”

The mercenaries turned back to the angel, but Celia was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a hound with flames all over its body took her place and it charged towards them.

“What is this goddamn thing?!”

The mercenaries that stood in the front raised his sword as he struck towards the Black Hound.

When the blades sliced into the Black Hound’s body, they felt no resistance at all.

And at the very next moment, a bright red flame erupted…!
