From the exterior, no one could tell that an intense battle was raging within The indication that a battle was happening were the sporadic flashes of light leaking out the s

Rhode and the Flame Killer’s teamwork steadily improved as they battled the evil spirits He used this quest not only to temper Lize’s skill, but also to build his tea spirit that he possessed had various variations, and the three cards in his deck right noere cards that he had never obtained before in the game While he did have experience with similar cards, ultimately, the characteristics were still different, so he still had to do trial and error to find out the ood example If he was familiar with the Flame Killer’s personality and character, the match probably wouldn’t have ended as a draw, but a win instead

However, although there weren’t any ‘ifs’ in this world, it didn’t mean that there was no way to make up for it either

Rhode retrieved his sword and retreated This sudden change in behavior caused the evil spirits to swarm over However, how can it be that easy to overcome Rhode? The moment he retreated, the black hound switched positions with him and launched a breath of fire towards the evil spirits

One covered while one retreated Their tiain, the flaulfed the evil spirits These low-level evil spirits ere even weaker than the will-o-wisps were ideal opponents for practice

Lize’s face was tense Her right arht beams one after another Whenever the holy rays poured from the heavens, multiple evil spirits would wither and perish Indeed, this Spirit Master was a fast learner Within less than an hour, she was already able to th and speed of the skill…

Rhode knew that this h the skill itself didn’t differentiate between good or evil, but the element still had to correspond with the spell used For exa it has the title ‘stone’ in it, it will be aobject that existed in the world Spells were the same, while it had its own mysterious definition and letters, water spells were still water spells, and ice spells were ice spells If one treated water and ice as one, or vice versa, then the result wouldn’t be favorable

Lize was at such a stage Since she wasn’t at level 10 yet, she didn’t have the ment’ However, that didn’t el bloodline, it could make up for her other half which would weaken her holy power And furthermore, it was beneficial for her to adapt to the attack rhyth on the rhythm of the spell The enemy’s speed isn’t fast, but you still have to pay attention to your own safety Soe abilities…” Rhode said cal at Lize, and suddenly, his eyes flashed to the side, “For exaed Lize’s collar abruptly and pulled her to safety Less than a second later, a fiendish green light sped by her previous position and s that she didn’t sustain any injuries, she looked towards the source of the attack and discovered a few skeletons holding bows and arrows ai towards them

The eerie and desolate, empty eye sockets lit up in the darkness like fireflies in the night

“Lize, cast your shi+eld above now!” Rhode shouted suddenly He raised his sword above his head and pointed his left hand towards the front Upon receiving Rhode’s command, the Flame Killer rushed forward immediately and broke past the barricade of evil spirits before landing right in the middle of the skeleton archers

Rhode shi+fted his stance and used his sword to parry the evil spirits circling therabbed Lize’s hand and said, “Let’s et to re-cast your shi+eld over yourself” Before she could even reply, he immediately pulled her out of the encirclement and ran out towards the left side of the stairs

The skeleton archers didn’t possess much threat in melee attacks Before they could launch a counterattack, the black hound had already rushed towards their flanks and tore their formation apart with its ferocious claws Those fortunate ones who ed to escape the first wave of attacks immediately suffered from a sea of flames

Third floor

When Rhode reached the third floor, he could faintly hear the clashes between the skeleton archers and his black hound Occasionally, a roar would shake the entire mansion Rhode knew that the black hound wouldn’t last ainst the myriad of archers However, since it didn’t matter because he could quickly resuh soul power, he didn’t worry tooof burning down this place, right?” Lize asked with a worried expression
