Metal and stone clashed against each other, igniting a bright spark

“Ugh!”

Rhode retreated a few steps back The huge i violent waves that traveled from his aroyle was an opponent not to be taken lightly — especially when there were two Gargoyles were unique because of their intelligence Nor that he’d worry about, but because of said intelligence, the AImovements out of caution It was especially so after it was attacked by the Blade of Destruction When Rhode’s sword eoyle immediately screah it had not been hit, it also beca Rhode a chance to breathe

But it was only for a moment

Rhode held Star Mark firoyles Then, he clenched his teeth and poised hioyles were afraid of his Blade of Destruction, he discerned that the both of theh they were in a staleer When he leveled up, he had raised his Moon Shadoordsmanshi+p into Rank D 4/4, which in turn reduced the Soul Power consumption of the Blade of Destruction Still, it would be a problem if it was frequently used Besides, this wasn’t even the final battle; Rhode knew that he had to save so And since he was the only cost the three, if he used up all of his power, the situation would turn grave

The two Gargoyles did not continue to stare at him On the contrary, they flew back and forth as they extended their claws to attack Rhode, only pulling back once they found that he had the intention to fight back This kind of never-ending battle required a lot of staoyles’ were made from alchemy, it was not a problem for them at all However, it wasn’t the same for Rhode

Sweat slowly trickled down his forehead His body had been in a defensive position for an extended period of tiradually become exhausted But Rhode wasn’t able to retreat He knew that with his current ability, it was aloyles, and that hy his only hope was Lize However…

“Ah!!”

He fell to the ground and his whole body twitched non-stop

“I’ to die! Help! Help!”

“You’re just stunned Mr Matt… You’re not going to die because of that”

Lize was flipping over the things on the dusty and cobwebbed table, most of it was just debris that had been already been eroded She casually cast Healing Light at Matt without looking and continued to search again

Although es would cast a lot of protective spells to protect their secrets, this church had been forgotten for a long period of time Thus, the power of the protective circle had weakened about 70-80, so it was not particularly dangerous

As a half-angel, Lize’s , so these weakened protective circles didn’t really affect her Under her influence, those circles that were supposed to trigger fire and lightning only created a flicker before disappearing However, the poor Mr Matt had helped these traps to regain back some of their self-confidence Since he was just an ordinary person and had no ic resistance, his reaction

In the dark church, the only light that illuminated the darkness was the ‘Holy Radiance’ that Lize had cast But this only htened because he could clearly detect the locations of the strange ht also revealed ominous piles of bones which were scattered on the black floor This scene was enough to h, when he saw the bloodstains on the wall, he alht If it wasn’t because of Lize’s calm demeanor that oyles at the entrance that was even erous, o

But now he could only grit his teeth and cling to Lize to find so called the ‘Controller Device’ which he had never seen before

Meanwhile, Rhode’s situation wasn’t getting any better
