Chapter 211 - Parasites (2/2)

Where did Rhode find soStarlight, histalents froe, Marlene In the whole of the Paphield Region, none of the ed to hire one Considering that this genius ht alongside the heir of a legendary and powerful family was like a dreahter of a noble fa on high-grade tea… and not fighting in a dark tunnel with otherlady did very well

But the more the truth seeure out why the heir of a renowned fa around with the h he heard that she would only be here te and experience with noble fa Especially when linked to Rhode’s identity, he suspected if the roup that was simple and pure

However, Kavos didn’t have the tiht now At that moment, the other mercenaries lifted their weapons and dashed towards the tentacles, striking the it to retreat They switched between attack and defense to wear down the tentacles Rhode didn’t expect much from these mercenaries since with their current capabilities, they just wouldn’t be able to confront theinjuries So all they did noas to stay within the ring of fire and defend

But this e of attacks fro, and it used its tentacles to block the attacks by Rhode and Celia That bright lightning and the holy flames were the banes of its existence The Parasite had initially thought that destroying these few insects wouldn’t be difficult, but it finally realized that it lost its advantage Even there was a difference in strength, Rhode and Celia were still able to cause dae to its body

The Parasite released a thunderous roar of pain and anger Then, it opened itsits tentacles at the duo

Rhode was familiar with the Parasite’s attack patterns, so he didn’t allow hi too close to its body He kne h it had ‘humanly features,’ frankly, it wasThousands of fiends squirh itsby itself Rhode knew that the Parasite would release the barrage of fiends if he got too close

Therefore Celia and Rhode chose to assault the Parasite while keeping a reasonable distance

The razed past hih he heard screams from the back as those weren’t the sounds of fear or panic It appeared as though the ood job, but Rhode knew that it was only temporary He had to seize the moment to finish this monster After all, huo on for days Despite huood traits, and that was their tenacity Thus, Rhode decided to pick up the pace

Once again, he evaded the Parasite’s attack, but this time, Rhode didn’t retreat like before Instead, he took a step forward and lunged his sword towards the ht, causing an explosion on i for a an to crawl back into position, replacing the gaping hole with countless of mini tentacles Suddenly, Celia, as behind Rhode, followed up by piercing the Parasite with her sword

Celia’s body, which was fully composed of the holy elehtmare When Rhode’s attack broke the Parasite’s exterior defensive layer, Celia drilled her holy sword through the gaping hole before it could close up The Parasite roared in anger, but Celia ignored it She clenched her teeth as she grasped the hilt of her sith her other hand and pulled it sideith all her ash which stretched froht waist A trail of silver flames released fro the tentacles fro its body

Once he saw this, Rhode abruptly raised his hand

“Everyone back off!” Marlene yelled at the top of her voice

She had been carefully observing Rhode’s h, the e And at this tie raised her wand and chanted aher dropped to subzero temperatures A myriad of icy swords formed out of nowhere as it revolved around Marlene, who unhesitatingly shot them towards the Parasite

“!!!”

The icy swords pierced into the Parasite’s body, aggravating its wounds An icy chill spread out fro the Parasite with a thick layer of frost It i and its nuround The chill continued to seep into the wounds that Celia had torn open, freezing any tentacles that still could move

This was Rhode’s plan to tackle the Parasite Although he could defeat it by using a more destructive approach, he knew that the enclosed environment would not take kindly to explosions Furtherame, if the Parasite blew up, the players would receive an undesirable ‘Parasite’ debuff Not only would it lower their attributes, but it could also even take their life If they couldn’t remove the debuff on time, the only result would be death

Thus, only by using a method to freeze it would be the best solution for this situation For this matter, Rhode didn’t have any choice but to rely on Marlene as he didn’t own any spirits of the Water element

He raised his sword and slashed doards

The bright radiance of his sword released immediately It transformed into a massive hammer which smashed squarely onto the Parasite’s frozen body The Parasite’s body cracked and fell to the ground Dozens of frozen tentacles spilled out like a river and before it could prove to be a threat, Celia’s holy fla went as planned

Rhode withdrew his sword as he gazed further down the dark tunnel

If things went smoothly like this, it would only be atheir mission

“Is it done,the corpse with her silver flas and strode to Rhode’s side The rest of the an to walk up to the corpse and examine the remains of the monster So ht,” Rhode nodded “At least for now”
