Summoning the Holy Sword

The final rays of sunlight fell underneath the horizon, allowing gentle, silver-whitish rays of moonlight and the night sky to take over the world. The sky darkened gradually. Even though the Dragon Soul Continent wasn’t as peaceful as before, Grandia in the Void Territory continued to exude a calm and tranquil atmosphere. The earlier ambushes from Chaos beings didn’t cause too much disorder in Grandia, and people continued to lead their ordinary lives as per usual.

Meanwhile, in the well-lit palace located in the middle of Grandia, there was a totally different scenery…

“Argh… ah… ah…”

Moans of young ladies resounded in the room, leaving one’s heart palpitating.

“Right there, Leader, thrust with all your strength! Hurry, hurry! You’re almost there! Ah!! Wait! No, not there…!”

Mini Bubble Gum screamed and let out a high-pitched squeal. Then, everything returned to its peace.

“Ah…”

A young lady covered in sweat plopped onto the bed, before rolling around boringly.

“Leader, your skills suck. Even Big Sister is better than you. You were so great in the game during PK, so how is it possible that you’re so bad in another game? This isn’t logical!”

“Do you think I have as much time as you to play such a weird and shameless fighting game?”

“I see.”

After hearing her reply, Rhode knitted his brows and nodded. He thought this was an envelope from Erin, but after recognizing the emblem, he knew immediately that he was wrong. It was apparent from the emblem printed in the middle of the envelope that it came from the legendary generals, which explained why he was bewildered. After all, his relationship with the legendary generals wasn’t favorable to the extent where they exchanged letters with one another. He felt strange receiving this envelope. But even so, he extended and waved his hand.

Swish!

Along with his action, the envelope flew out of his hand and floated in midair. He squinted, held his right fingers close together, and made a downward sliding motion. Shortly after, the envelope quietly opened on its own. An invisible force shook the white letter as it fell out from the inside, expanding in front of Rhode to display its content.

“Hmm?”

After reading the letter, Rhode puckered his brows instantly. He didn’t expect this letter to be sent by Garcia, one of the four legendary generals, under Erin’s command. In the letter, Garcia introduced the situation in the Country of Darkness to a certain degree and mentioned the issues surrounding Ion, as well as the predicament of their living creatures.

“That really happened?”

Rhode didn’t believe in Garcia’s words at first because no matter what, he was one of the four legendary generals of the Country of Darkness. Not only was passing on information about the Country of Darkness a major crime of treason, but it also wasn’t beneficial for him. Even though Garcia was also a human, did he really believe that Rhode would send his troops to go against Ion just to rescue him? Rhode didn’t have such an intention and as a matter of fact, it was still too earlier for that. But this didn’t mean that Rhode had the intention of letting Ion off. Ever since Ion went to the Country of Law to snatch his dragon essence, Rhode had already decided to wipe out the entire Country of Darkness and slaughter the Dark Dragon. However, this wasn’t something he could achieve with the swing of his arm, after all. The current population of the Void Territory wasn’t sufficient for him to mobilize a large-enough army, which was why Rhode’s only choice was to join forces with the Country of Light and Country of Law to go against the Dark Dragon. And all of this required some time.

But regarding the issues about Erin mentioned in the letter…

Rhode stared at the letter. After a few moments, he let out a snort, retracted his right arm, and clenched his fist. Along with this action, the floating letter and envelope were devoured in a puff of flames, turning into ashes that disappeared in sight in just a few seconds.

“Is everything alright, Your Majesty?”

Upon realizing his reaction, Agatha blinked curiously at her master. Rhode pondered in silence and shrugged.

“Yes. It’s just regarding some insignificant matter.”
