Marlene cao, she felt her heart pounding and a scorching sensation flowed inside her Although it didn’t hurt her, it disrupted her spell-castingher teeth, barely dodging from the metal construct’s attack On the other hand, Anne darted to her side and swung her shi+eld to strike the enemy away Then, a silver radiance flashed and Celia descended fros She punctured the ene blade and rescued everyone fro? Are you alright?”

Lize went up to her side and asked anxiously As a Cleric, it was essential that she are of her teammates’ health Therefore, Lize instantly realized that so was amiss Marlene bit her lip and shook her head

“It’s nothing, Lize I was just…”

Although Marlene said so, she knew that the situation wasn’t this sih soth of Order in this area was stable and the flow of ical powers in her was smooth without any issue, she quickly discovered that there was a weak, burning power sloaking up Previously, it only beat occasionally like a heart and didn’t affect her in battle But now… This presence affected her judge I don’t ree power Where did it co, Marlene? Is anything wrong?”

At this moment, Rhode knitted his brows and went up to her In fact, Rhode was also feeling disappointed because apart fro the metal constructs, the truly wonderful equipment was usually locked up in treasure chests located in ancient dungeons This was the reason why players generally ca new territories and they brought players ere experts in unlocking chests But now, he only had Gracier and Madaras, and he couldn’t possibly waste their strength on that This hen they probed the traps, he got the the way But what disappointed hins of equipold coins or a pile of materials for the constructs The best results were only a few high-grade soul cores He had even gotten Marlene to open the chests, but the results were the same It seemed like luck was determined for all the chests since the instant he opened the first one?

After a feorthless atteive up this idea and focus his attention on the BOSS

“Rhode, I…”

Marlene puckered her brows and shook her head She didn’t intend to explain ed her mind and nodded firh the door, I felt strange It feels like some powers insideabout this froh the powers seeure it out”

“Oh? Such a thing exists?”

Rhode knitted his brows It was common for NPCs to come up with such symptoms in hidden missions However, players often had no solutions Normally, players would just follow the NPCs around whenever so and NPCs would seek help fro the source of the proble the similar Players just had to complete their tasks and wouldn’t intervene with their personal e based on his experience in the game—they were currently in aawakened inside her This shouldn’t pose too big of a problelanced at Marlene dubiously He understood her very well Just like Lize and Anne, Marlene wasn’t one who loved seeking help fro critical junctures He knew that she wouldn’t shoeakness unless she really couldn’t handle it herself Therefore, Rhode just let out a casual remark and to his surprise, she ca uncharacteristically ever since co Even though he didn’t knoas going on in her head, it see froht Anne and Lize You two protect Marlene fros, understand?”

In fact, if it weren’t for Marlene who insisted on following, Rhode would have assigned Lize and Anne to the refuge and defense of the tohile he slaughtered his ith his holy sword cards However, he had to change his plans to let Anne and Lize protect Marlene No matter what, this was the ht need her help in the final ht

“Got it, Leader”

“Yes, Mr Rhode”

Anne and Lize nodded firmly They knehat their roles were After all, apart fro or protection Therefore, they understood why Rhode had gotten them to follow hi battle, in order to prevent a tragedy froo”

After confir that the constructs around them were all destroyed, he beckoned to them Currently, they were in a narrow, o when they entered this corridor, the constructs serving as decorations by the walls immediately launched their attacks However, this standard of attack wasn’t worthy of their concern at all

But Rhode didn’t let his guard down If he recalled correctly, they would be facing the BOSS of this floor after passing through this corridor That BOSS wasn’t easy to deal with, especially when its poere enhanced in its territory

A few moments later, everyone reached the end of the corridor Marlene raised the staff and tapped on the radually However…

“Hmm?”

Rhode knitted his brows The construct that should have been sitting quietly in the hall was nowhere to be seen The entire hall was e on the enor? Could it be that the BOSS had disappeared due to the triggering of the hidden mission?
