Chapter 1163: Ghost Under the Lava (1)

lava erupted Blazing, scarlet torrents of extreed and splashed all around at a rapid pace Rhode flitted across in a flash, concealing himself entirely in the shadows of one of the towers He narrowed his eyes to scan the surroundings, turned around, and extended his arm, where a black card flickered in his hand and transformed into a pitch-black sword the very next second He stooped over, held his breath, and quietly listened to the activities around hiation earlier, the five steel towers basically served asas he could take theh the area and enter the door safely The ave the others was to take down the functions of the steel towers If it weren’t for the existence of that mysterious, shadowy creature at the botto his way through But now… In order to not alert the eney

Fortunately, based on the situation he observed before, there were groups of five heavily-arht in this area But luckily, Rhode had his way around them

, heavy steel armor resounded Rhode squinted at the scene and clutched the sword hilt He was co silently for the opportune ti to strike Shortly after, a patrol tea to notice the ene the area for a few moments, they turned around and headed into another tunnel

It was at that moment Rhode struck

The instant the soldiers turned around, Rhode pounced The sword in his hand metamorphosed into a dark radiance as he darted ahead In a dazzling flash, the soldier at the rear was slashed into half like tofu Rhode’s sword trembled abruptly as black flames erupted inside-out from the blade He turned around, withdrew his sword, and dashed forward again

The next soldier ahead turned around subconsciously after hearing soe movements But he had only turned halfway before the razor-sharp blade penetrated his neck Then, black flames exploded to devour that unfortunate soldier Rhode continued his attack, positioning his sword in a slanted stance and slashi+ng it doard in a straight line This series of movements was so quick that it only lasted less than five seconds—fro the third soldier’s chest

At that moment, the two soldiers at the front see One of theun and pointed to the rear But as soon as he turned around, he witnessed a flash of dark radiance and felt a chilly sensation on his neck Then, he stopped breathing

“…!”

Meanwhile, the soldier at the front turned around After witnessing Rhode’s presence, he widened his eyes and was about to screaht arm forward

th,whip that wrapped around the soldier’s neck and stifled the scream that almost escaped hi the unfortunate soldier’s head and sending it skyward before landing on the ground

“Phew…”

At that lance to the surroundings keenly before lifting Succubus in his right hand and slashi+ng it doard Savage black fla the lifeless corpses on the floor instantly In just a dozen seconds, the scattered corpses and filthy blood were sed, leaving nothing behind Rhode returned to the shadows and continued to sneak his way in

After taking down three teauarding the first tower But he didn’t let his guard down just yet as he didn’t kno exactly the patrols communicated and rotated shi+fts If he had annihilated the patrols that were taking over the current shi+ft, perhaps the patrols ht feel suspicious after so After taking down the three patrol forces and ensuring that no one discovered his presence, Rhode went up to the entrance of the first tower and peeked into it

What h of relief was that the entrance wasn’t locked However, the situation inside was nowhere better as heavily-armored soldiers and surveillance cah Rhode didn’t kno they ed to set up such a coency siren would be sounded ie inside

et out of hand</eaze away and dashed into the shadows of the tall, dark tower like a ghost, vanishi+ng out of sight

Meanwhile, the two Canarys stood at the side quietly, sensing the presence of thatdeep below the lava lake No wonder Rhode was anxious about it That creature was alth, and a dozen on Soul Continent At that roup was just above it If they weren’t careful, they hly out of luck It was due to this reason that Rhode was acting so cautiously The two Canarys put up solemn expressions because they discovered earlier that the creature that was as stationary as a rock twitched as though it were awake Although the frequency of its movements was low, the lava was like an extension of their bodies The creature was like a fish held up by their hands, where they were able to sharply feel its movements

“Should we tell Rhode about it?”

Canary knitted her brows and gazed at her projection who stood beside her In fact, she adh her projection was created based on Rhode’s impression of her, if Canary were able to be exactly the same as her projection, perhaps she wouldn’t have thatCanary’s question, Canary No 2 pondered in silence before nodding gently

“Okay, I’ll inform Rhode You tell Bubble about this and ask the about this situation”

“Got it”

Upon hearing Canary No 2’s response, Canary nodded slightly, turned around, and left quickly Canary No 2 gazed at Canary, let out a sigh, and shi+fted her gaze to the sea of lava before her Then, she witnessed several streaks of red brilliance

“There areCanary No 2’s report, Rhode’s heart sank Earlier on, he felt like so was amiss When he killed the soldiers, he sensed the presence of Chaos aura escaping their bodies and atteather in a certain place For safety’s sake, Rhode activated the black flames of Succubus and devoured the Chaos aura Now, it seemed like that apparently wasn’t a bad move Perhaps all the power of Chaos in this place ca underneath the lava Perhaps the strange activities reported by Canary earlier were precisely its instinctive reactions upon feeling its power depleting at a fast pace Maybe the amount of power lost was just a drop in the ocean, but Rhode’s group hter the soldiers!

But now, he didn’t have any other ways to pass this information to the others After all, Erin and Lydia weren’t card spirits he could coht now, he could only take one step at a time, wipe out the defense as quickly as possible, and proceed on to the next

Rhode pondered, but the speed of his swinging sword didn’t slon at all Even though the entire steel tower seeuarded, it wasn’t prepared for air raids Rhode could easily conquer a tower that was tens of ed at the top At thaton the highest floor had their backs facing hihtered them mercilessly and lit them on fire to remove all traces Then, he opened the door and sneaked inside the tower silently via the stairwell
