Chapter 1178: Spirit Rinsing (1)
Rhode wasn’t aware of Angelina’s tragic encounter, but he wouldn’t care less about her anyway Even though Angelina was also one of his card spirits, it was a pity that she was ranked the lowest in his mind This was apparent from the fact that after Rhode resolved Lilian’s issue, led everyone to the drawing room, and described his earlier experiences, he didn’t even ask Marlene about Angelina’s whereabouts
If Angelina knew about this, perhaps she would start to doubt whether her loyalty to Rhode was enough But it was a pity that Angelina and Erin were trapped in the round maze The Dark Curtain had completely cut off all spiritual connections between Rhode and Angelina, which the latter couldn’t seek help for her predicaerous case of decreased likability fronorant Rhode also learned fro how Ion stirred trouble with one of the twin dragons and tried to steal his dragon essence After hearing Marlene’s words, Rhode and Marybelle puckered their brows at the sa already? Could it be that he is influenced by Chaos? It shouldn’t be Ion is a dragon soul heir, no , he shouldn’t be influenced by Chaos so easily Even though he is the ruler of the Country of Darkness, a Dark Dragon isn’t an undead creature, after all Couldn’t he resist any form of erosion from Chaos like Lilian? Not only that, but why did he also beco to Marlene’s introduction, Rhode couldn’t wrap his head around the situation The Dark Dragon was a living being, so the effects would be limited even if he were to be eroded by Chaos This was obvious from the fact that he fled ion essence failed, which proved that the Dark Dragon hadn’t gone entirely insane yet Logically speaking, his failed atteered the Void Territory and Country of Law si his tail between his legs But noas he still trying to start a full-scale war?
At that moment, only Marybelle, Marlene, Alice, Cassidy, Lize, Anne, and Rhode were in the study rooone to accompany Lilian and find ways to alleviate her situation Meanwhile, Canary and Mini Bubble Guinal selves around Grandia for a casual stroll
“I think I know the answer now”
To everyone’s surprise, the one who answered Rhode’s question wasn’t Marlene, but was Marybelle, who had been with hiaze to Marybelle, waiting for her answer Despite that, Marybelle didn’t answer immediately as she turned to Cassidy, who sat at the side instead Upon sensing her gaze, the see stared at by the snake and stood upright i Sister Marybelle What can I do for you?”
“I heard froon Did you hit hi Marybelle’s question, Cassidy hesitated for a few ht have done soed looks with each other as though they understood what Marybelleat Cassidy who lowered her head, Marybelle let out a groan
“You used your power of contrast, right? Marlene clearly warned you not to use it as you wished Why didn’t you listen to her order?”
“I… Yes… I’ Sister Marybelle Please don’t punish me, please don’t punish round in a posture of surrender and everyone who noticed her shi+vering body and pale expression couldn’t help but feel emotionally moved by her Despite that, Marybelle apparently was unperturbed where shelady before shi+fting away her gaze Upon witnessing Marybelle’s expression, Cassidy turned deathly pale and put up a desperate expression like a prisoner who just received the death sentence and would be executed immediately But it was a pity that Marybelle paid no attention to her at all She grunted and spoke
“Punish yourself”
“Yes… Big Sister Marybelle…”
After hearing Marybelle’s order, Cassidy swayed and stood up listlessly She dragged her feet to the bookcase at the corner of the walls, pulled out three books that were about half athe wall…
Seems like the distinction between superior and inferior also exists aht to himself
“… In other words, it is due to Cassidy’s power of contrast that the Dark Dragon becaaze away fro foolishly at the corner of the walls, Rhode knitted his brows He had experienced the prowess of Cassidy’s power of contrast for hi struck by her power of contrast, he did have si back to the Country of Darkness, the Dark Dragonsister instead But now, it seehly likely”
Marybelle was untroubled on basing the situation with guesses and punishi+ng Cassidy without any concrete proof She nodded si froht be close to the truth After all, it ithin everyone’s expectation as to how Ion behaved Although his actions were certainly out of character, there were still sons at the very least He went on and suddenly conducted himself in a completely different style like a sneaky assassin unsheathing his dagger and challenging others to 300 rounds of just and honorable battles It would only be ridiculous if one didn’t see this as soe in Ion’s personality was due to hi attacked by Cassidy’s power of contrast, where his personality had a 180 flip If this was the case, the situation would be much more troublesome
I wonder if Erin is fine over there</eht, Rhode shook his head and stood to his feet
“So on essence is inside you, Marlene?”
“Yes, Rhode, please wait a moment…”
Marlene said She extended her hand, shut her eyes, deciding to release the dragon essence kept inside her But at thather hands At the next moment, Rhode pulled her into his embrace
“Save the trouble There’s a more convenientRhode’s remark, Marlene couldn’t help but widen her eyes Then, before she reacted, Rhode pressed hisopen her h At that iving in to his de! Anne wanted to be the first!”
At a short distance away, Anne grumbled in annoyance However, Marlene wasn’t in the mood to console her at all as she couldn’t even pull herself away The dragon essence stored inside her surged upon detecting the presence of its owner The sensation of the hot, flowing spiritual powerinto one with the man in front of her The shock froo blank She closed her eyes, instinctively feeling the spiritual power being absorbed by Rhode After several minutes, the insatiable Rhode loosened his clasp on Marlene, who had turned red through and through The young lady couldn’t stand upright and fell into his embrace weakly After a fewaway fros shyly Meanwhile, Alice was reading the heavy book before her and didn’t see Cassidy, on the other hand, continued to face the corner of the walls obediently On the other side, Lize stared at the sleek floor in a flushed coh some intricate, ancient patterns were on therant tea Anne was the only one who glared at Marlene fuly like a child with her toy taken away
“Really, Big Sister Marlene is so cunning If Anne knew this would happen, Anne would have volunteered to protect Leader’s dragon essence”
“No, I’m not…”
Anne’s remark was like the last straw Marlene blushed and waved her hands around in a fluster But she eventually didn’t stand up for herself as it see at Marlene’s response, Anne curled her lips in silence Since the suspect had ‘pleaded guilty’, only legal punish now No, wait, it didn’t seem to fit this scenario
“Ahem… Rhode Hmm… Your Majesty Rhode”
Marlene let out tard coughs and finally calazed at the man with a flushed complexion, took in a deep breath, and forcefully held down her pounding heart
“… If it is just like what Marybelle said, will Her Highness Erin be fine?”
