Boom!
A deafening roar erupted, and countless boulders rapidly piled up, eventually forming two enormous stone giants.
This stone giant was clearly a bit larger than the last one, not only by about thirty centimeters in height, but also by the dazzling red light emanating from its head.
This is the enhancement effect brought about by Rhodes' power reaching the middle level of the third ascension.
But with a mere wave of his arm, he summoned the two stone giants to hunt other witches.
It's a very simple principle. First, no matter how weak Hilla is, she's still a fourth-level being, meaning she's an enemy he can't defeat in a short time.
Therefore, rather than letting the stone giants die here, it would be better to let them hunt down the other witches and absorb the energy of those witches who have been promoted three times into him.
"You summoned them, but you don't intend to use these stones to hinder my actions, Lord Rhodes?" Sheila wondered, touching her lips with her finger.
"There's no point in saying all this; let's finish this quickly."
Rhodes checked his stats and found that, with all his skills activated, his stats were close to being upgraded four times.
In an instant, the [Elf Dragon Sword] in his hand condensed once more, radiating a bright green light.
As he felt the cold temperature of the longsword at his fingertips, Rhode instantly entered battle mode. His eyes became as sharp as an eagle's, and the energy flowing through his body made him feel hot all over, his muscles swelling with blood.
"Oh." Sheila nodded, instantly removing the chains binding her thighs, and with a gentle swing, the chains instantly coalesced into a long spear.
Purple demonic power began to flow through her weapon, and countless strange crystals grew wildly at the tip of the spear.
【poison】
All the skills she uses are related to poison.
With just a slight thrust of the spear, almost any expert of the same level would lose 10% of their mobility.
Well, of course, that's assuming we can break through the opponent's defenses first.
"Actually, I've always felt that my skills and my looks don't quite match, Lord Rhodes. Think about it, what kind of pink-haired girl uses purplish-black power? It's a bit too evil."
That's what they say—
But before she could even finish her last word, her figure swooped down like a ghost, directly piercing through Rhodes' head with her spear!
At that moment, Rhodes' eyes narrowed.
When you meet someone like-minded, you both like to ambush.
He instantly dodged the attack, letting the terrifying aura brush past his neck. But in that instant, Sheila revealed a strange smile.
"I've been infected~"
Click—!
In an instant, the spear collapsed, and countless crystals attached to it shattered into crystal fragments, scattering in all directions!
Moreover, her spear transformed into a supple, snake-like form, its tip coiling back to attack his neck once more.
She possesses superb assassination skills. If we were to rank Sheila's abilities, she would completely surpass any of the witches Rhodes had killed before.
It's safe to say that this being has been promoted four times is truly worthy of its reputation.
Although Rhodes didn't know what would happen if he were pierced by these crystals, he knew he absolutely couldn't touch them.
Therefore, he began to sweep across with the [Elf Dragon Sword] in his right hand, sweeping everything away like a whirlwind, and instantly activated the skill—
The effect of [Life Dragon Heart] is [Mental Shock].
In his [Dream Realm Chaos], his mental attributes were greatly enhanced, and he also gained 15% mental penetration ability.
In other words, Hillary was so close to him—
Thump—!
Like a grand bell tolling in Sheila's mind, her eardrums felt instantly ripped open with a sharp pain, her pupils contracted, and everything in front of her began to sway! It was as if she had been spun hundreds of times! This was a soul skill—
Hmm, thinking about it carefully, isn't Rod Chiven Lance supposed to be a support character? Why am I fighting him in melee?
Sheila realized something was wrong at that moment and instantly changed direction, using her chain dragon spear to throw Rhodes away!
boom--!
The chain slammed into Rhodes' right arm, sending him hurtling as if his bones were breaking, and he was propelled through the air like a cannonball.
Most importantly, no matter how much Rhode tried to defend himself, the shattered fragments still managed to penetrate his skin to some extent.
After Rod retreated about three meters, he felt his right side begin to stiffen and become cold.
The first reason is that the bones in my hand were slightly shattered by the impact; the second reason is the [poison].
He frowned slightly, feeling the pressure of battle for the first time in a long time.
Yes, the witches we encountered before could at least use combat skills to make up for the difference in power, but when the enemy had already reached the fourth level of ascension, those so-called human skills were something that everyone knew about.
"Very strong, you are indeed good, or rather, your skills are somewhat useful," Rhodes said calmly.
"Oh? Lord Rhodes wants to recruit me? I'd be more than willing, all I need is ten gold coins a month for food!" Sheila's eyes sparkled as she nodded. "I'm a professional maid, I can do anything!"
Cooking, washing dishes, doing laundry—oh, and cleaning—my older sister is definitely better at it, since I'm not a bit of a germaphobe.
"You're overthinking it." Rhodes flicked his arm. "I'm just waiting for feedback."
"Huh?" Hilla was taken aback.
Rhodes's eyes focused on the constantly flashing words—
[You have hunted a Fallen Demon God; your attributes have increased.]
[You have hunted a Fallen Demon God; your attributes have increased.]
Yes, those two stone giants are constantly selecting witches who happen to be engaged in fierce battles with others, and directly ambushing them to extract their combat experience.
Therefore, he only felt his body constantly absorbing the attribute values that were fed back, and his aura became more and more intense.
The attribute values are constantly increasing, and some of them are even starting to restore the body's health bar along with the [Listening to the Dragon's Song of Life] effect.
Therefore, although the poisons paralyze the body and cause the condition to decline, these effects, in turn, counteract the changes.
"Now we can launch a counterattack."
Rhodes smiled, but at that moment, Sheila felt an extraordinary sense of danger.
His power is constantly increasing.
It's because those two stone giants are killing her companions!
Sheila's eyes immediately darkened. "No matter what, I haven't betrayed you yet. I still can't tolerate the fact that you killed my comrade."
"You seem like a normal person, but every fallen demon has their own madness. Since you want to apply, could you tell me what your problem is?"
Rod twisted his wrist, feeling that his injury had almost healed.
"Greed." Sheila formed her bracelet into a circle, holding the weapon that had returned to its spear shape, a sly smile spreading across her face. "With money, anything is possible."
"What, you want me to die?"
"Huh? Lord Rhodes, I'm serious, please don't joke around, okay?" Sheila's momentum crumbled. "What's the point if you're dead? The reason you became a witch is to survive."
"Is that so?" Rod replied casually.
Although they were chatting, they never let their guard down and were even eager to launch another sneak attack.
Unfortunately, one of them said, "That doesn't matter."
Before the words were finished...
Rhodes' body also unleashed terrifying power, instantly shattering the bricks on the ground, and he shot out like lightning!
brush!
In the blink of an eye, the longsword, like his sharp eyes, pierced towards Sheila!
[Mental Concussion] has been activated again.
In an instant, Sheila's pupils contracted, and as she felt that tearing dizziness return, she cursed under her breath.
That's outrageous! There are people who can unleash skills indefinitely?
Even so, she still used the spear to slash her own arm first, spraying blood as her pupils dilated and she focused her mental energy on a single point in front of her eyes—
"Ha—!" she cried out in a sweet voice.
The spear pierced through and instantly collided with Rhodes' sword, unleashing a terrifying energy shockwave!
Countless bursts of energy suddenly exploded, tearing the ground in two.
The girl's arm trembled instantly, and as she felt the increasingly powerful force, the shock in her heart intensified.
How could this happen?
She clearly remembered that just a few days ago, Rhodes had struggled quite a bit even after killing Shengge three times—
Damn it, this is going to be a problem if it continues like this.
She glanced at her sister and saw that Mira, who was also struggling against her adversary Horenaard, already knew the outcome.
Even if she could barely defeat Rhodes, she couldn't possibly defeat the Duke, let alone this monster with [A]-level ability enhancement and recovery. Who knows how long it would take to kill him?
Her gaze then drifted to Cecilia.
At this moment, Cecilia's power has indeed expanded to an extremely high level after merging with the Demon God's Echo. At least, this level of combat power is something that Lilith, who has just recovered and advanced five times, cannot resist.
"So, it seems we still have to rely on Cecilia? Have her kill that guy who's been promoted five times quickly, then lead us to retreat, otherwise there's nothing we can do—"
brush-!
Rhodes's longsword clashed repeatedly with her spear, forcing her to truly give it her all.
"I'm going to get serious."
In an instant, Sheila's elbow gathered all its power.
A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and she shattered the iron chain in her hand once more!
"Give up on defense?" Rod asked, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.
In an instant, Rod swept away all the flying debris and kicked Sheila's elbow hard with his leg!
A loud bang erupted, and Sheila felt her hand twist as if it had been dislocated, but she only gasped twice before a fierce glint flashed in her eyes—
"Since you're not going to spare my life, then I'll just have to give it my all!"
"Crystallize, [Explode]!"
In that instant, after she uttered those words, the crystals swept aside beside Rhodes instantly twisted and deformed, and then expanded—
Rhodes was slightly lost in thought, staring at the terrifying energy explosion crystal, and for a moment it seemed as if he had returned to the moment he saw Felicity's magic crystal.
Before he could even react, Sheila flashed a triumphant smile, gritting her teeth: "Got it!"
Boom boom boom—!
Countless shattered stars collided, tore apart, and exploded, releasing distorted heat and scorching heat that engulfed Rhodes' body in a terrifying sea of energy!
Everything was annihilated in the terrifying crimson fire tornado.
Yes, it's gone.
Rhodes disappeared into the flames—
Standing behind Rhodes, Ivina watched the battle, but remained in a daze.
She watched as Rhodes was engulfed in a sea of fire by a terrifying force, and her mind went completely blank.
In an instant, she felt as if she had returned to the day Rhodes rescued her.
My body was stiff and numb; I could only breathe in the scorching air and feel suffocated.
The blankness in his eyes was despair.
"Rhodes".
"Rhodes, you haven't given me my reward yet, and I haven't given you one either—!"
Ivina murmured in the mail, but her body was already numb and unable to move; her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
At the same time, Hilla perfectly withdrew her hand, the chains dissolving as she took several steps back, calmly watching the scene unfold.
But she was slightly panicked after realizing what had happened.
"Wait, if I really die, Cecilia will kill me too—!"
"Damn it, I got serious before I even realized it."
She watched the energy radiate outwards and shook her head helplessly.
"There's no other way. We'll have to apologize with a bundle of thorns on our backs later. Time is running out."
She hurriedly turned around to help her sister resolve the battle, but for a moment, she froze.
If you ask why the beggar—
The moment she turned around, she saw the two stone giants behind her still wantonly slaughtering her brethren.
If the summoner dies, how could the summoned creatures still be alive?
She gasped in disbelief, but in that instant, her pupils contracted sharply, and a chill ran down her spine. Wait a minute, something's not right!
She quickly turned her head, but in that instant she saw that terrifying figure.
Yes.
Rhodes, emerging from the fires of hell—
Rhodes, who had just emerged from the sea of fire and was now flying through the air, holding the [Elf Dragon Sword] high, had his burned skin festering and blood was gushing out of his skin.
But he seemed not to feel anything at all, he just held the longsword and unleashed his last bit of power!
At that moment, his [Stone Giant] was instantly destroyed, a 20% increase in physique was instantly superimposed on his body, and his life was restored by 40%.
With the added healing speed of 1% per second from [Listening to the Dragon's Song of Life], his health bar was barely maintained at a normal level.
But it was at this moment that Rhodes, who had crawled out of hell, revealed a hint of madness!
"This is truly the end!"
His muscles concentrated every bit of power at their very tip, and with the momentum of his leap and fall, he unleashed a sword strike!
At that moment, as if heaven and earth were split apart, everything in front of him was cleaved in two with a single, deafening roar!
The energy struck the dazed Sheila in that instant, and she felt as if her body was being cut open, with blood splattering everywhere.
"Oh no—" she murmured as her vision blurred.
Blood was dripping from his head.
At this moment, everything returned to calm.
Only Rhodes, who was being regenerated after being burned by the flames, and Hera, who had been split in two, continued to spurt blood from the middle of their bodies, which flowed onto the ground.
Her head, chest, muscles, intestines, and even all her organs were cut open—
"But you can't imagine—you are really strong." A smile tugged at Sheila's lips.
"You're still conscious?" Rhodes asked, his hand resting on the elven dragon sword, breathing slightly heavily.
Pfft, pfft—
The girl's body continued to bleed, yet she did not collapse.
Yes.
It did not fall.
Before Rod could even frown in confusion, firstly because his injuries were too severe, and secondly because—Sheila's actions were too swift.
"Let's have a baby, sister."
After Sheila uttered her last words, it was as if the blood flowing through her body had frozen—
Thump, thump, thump—
The heart resumed beating, and the severed muscles reconnected.
Even more surprisingly, all the blood that had spilled on the ground began to flow back into her body!
did not expect.
Sheila really didn't expect to use this skill.
【Let's live together, sisters】
The bond between sisters is unbreakable.
Lord, when one of the sisters is still alive, if the other dies, the Lord can resurrect her once, fully healed.
[Usage frequency: once every 7 days]
Boom—
"Then let's fight again."
Sheila grinned foolishly.
