The razor-sharp ice splinter collided with the steel shi+eld The Ice Devil was surprised that a hu recoil slowed its ed forith his mercenaries They raised their weapons and slashed with all theirblade rays flickered in the air The scarlet flames on their blades struck the Ice Devil’s body and spread wildly to its erected tail It howled in grief as its tail broke off abruptly After losing its tail and balance, the gravely injured Ice Devil crashed into the ground However, it hadn’t given up just yet It let out a blood-curdling screech like a cornered anih and the elemental radiance in its eyes was never this brilliant It felt as though the sun had paled in its presence

But that was only for an instant

Rhode dove doith his daggers laid in a crisscross stance like a dazzlingacross the sky

Perhaps the et this scene

The Ice Devil let out a heart-tre beloith its widened jaw At the saht column shone from above and punctured the Ice Devil’s skull The i a powerful ind that dispersed in all directions It was so quick that the Ice Devil had no chance to react at all The ice surface sank under the pressure and formed a ten-meters wide depression At this ht posture as though tih an invisible large hand had pushed it to its side

“Oh, Lord…” The h they knew that Rhode possessed powerful strength, they were dumbfounded to personally witness his raw force After this thunderous strike, weakness and fear brewed in the mercenaries’ minds Perhaps there were no other choices for the for death if they were to suffer the fate of this attack

However, the awestruck ed rather estured to the thunder boomed froed…

Rhode stood by the shore and heaved a long sigh of relief as he gazed over the Frozen Lake After losing the influence of the Ice Devil’s elemental powers, the abnorinal state The melted thick ice layer cracked and floated on the lake water while the shed gigantic ice layers caused a splash as it fell into it One ht misunderstand that one had arrived at the Arctic Ocean if one were to view this picturesque scenery As Rhode ad view, Marfa came up to hiazed at Marfa’s concerned, yet excited expression This felt as though Rhode had returned to the garoup of newbies he had led surrounded and looked at hieon BOSS But Rhode came back to his senses quickly and nodded

“That’s right, the mission has ended We have succeeded”

“Oh oh oh!” The mercenaries broke out in cheers They pumped their fists in the air and their faces were filled with unprecedented happiness Lize and the two Clerics beside her s companions

It was no wonder the h the ed in countless battles with monsters under Rhode’s lead, most of the time they were more of bystanders while Rhode, Gillian, and Celia were the reat news that the retful if they had to watch froh Rhode was still responsible for the main attacks, the mercenaries didn’t stand by idly Instead, they unleashed their strength and fully committed themselves to the battle, to which they felt a deep sense of acco emotions

Rhode nodded in satisfaction This was also why he didn’t ask Gillian to coh Gillian was a Fire Elemental Lord with sealed powers, she wouldn’t find any proble elemental attributes However, Rhode didn’t do so because he discovered that it wasn’t great for the mercenaries’ morale if he simply relied on himself and his powerful companions to complete the missions and battles Moreover, the uidance just to watch idly from the rear This time, Rhode also didn’t su the Spirit Bird and hell Hound to stir up hisspirit

Indeed, the mercenaries unleashed their true potential when their h they appeared soainst the Ice Devil, it wasn’t sih Rhode attracted most of the Ice Devil’s attention and was the main attacker, he wouldn’t have annihilated the Ice Devil that easily without the ained much more confidence in his mercenaries after this battle The fact that the ainst an Ice Devil whose level was this her meant that they could deal with the future equal-leveled BOSSes without any issues

Everyone returned to the Greenery Town and this time, the residents’ attitude toward them was entirely different After the Law Enforceued the entire Cranion for centuries was finally annihilated, the residents were elated They sware of the Frozen Lake and sweet tears welled up in their eyes The residents who reinal view of the Frozen Lake had passed on and no one in the Cranion knehat it looked like under the thick ice surface But now, they finally got what they asked for

Rhode and his mercenaries received passionate hospitality frorand celebration feast on the public square to welcoht hope to the Cranh the mercenaries were a little discontent that the residents tried to chase therins from ear to ear, the mercenaries swiftly threw that tiny resentment to the back of their heads Besides, the Mayor had also represented the town in apologizing to thethe feast This hy the ed themselves in the delicious food and wine

“See a lot of fun,” Rhode said with a s in with them, he stayed behind in the hotel room alone because he disliked noisy events Moreover, there was so more important to deal with

“I haven’t seen this familiar prompt in a while,” Rhode muttered under his breath

Rhode didn’t accept any otherto the Paphield defensive line Frankly speaking, Rhode was rather doubtful about the trigger a the Paphield defensive line would be considered a trigger mission However, it was totally different in this world Most of the ranted by the system and only some missions related to the construction of the Fortress, as well as the Spirit Swordsered by the systeh Rhode had technically reaped a lot fro the Paphield defensive line le EXP and reward recorded in the systeered mission resulted in a rare failure

Due to this reason, Rhode sighed at the sight of the [Mission Completed] system prompt Then, he focused his attention on the proer A sweet-sounding notification popped and lines of systeed

[Mission — Frozen Lake Coradeable]

[Please select enerous amount of EXP

Rhode let out a whistle In fact, this hy he cared so much about the system mission In this world, Rhode didn’t need to share his EXP with others He would receive all the EXP for every co speed If he were to share the EXP just like he did in the game, perhaps he wouldn’t have transcended into the level 40 Master Stage now As his levels grew, the EXP require also increased If he were to share the EXP equally with histhe Frozen Lake ot to enjoy the entire EXP by hiain of two to three levels This was siolden opportunity bestowed by the heavens

However, Rhode didn’t choose to level up yet Instead, he turned his gaze to the mission rewards
