Chapter 188 End of the Battle (2/2)

Once more, the Spirit Bird phased through the Core Guardian's body, bringing the lightning along with it as it sent reverberations in the air as well as the ground. The Core Guardian unexpectedly stopped its every movement. But now, the Spirit Bird didn't return to its original position, but instead, it flew towards Rhode.

And at that very moment, Rhode extended his right arm, swinging it to the side.

The illusionary Centaur Knight on his back disappeared. Rhode raised his sword and pointed towards the Spirit Bird that was flying back to him.

When the Crimson Blade and the Spirit Bird came into contact, there was a blinding light.

A whirlwind rose from the ground alongside Rhode. The Spirit Bird disappeared, and only the Crimson Blade remained on Rhode's hand.Electrified sparks enveloped the entire blade, forming long electrical currents that were as thick as fingers. The way it moved was similar to snakes, as it slithered up and down the sword.

Rhode grabbed the sword by the hilt and focused on the enemy in front.

In the next second, bright lights flashed through the air, shooting towards the exposed interior of the Core Guardian.

”!!!”

As if it detected the enemy's all-out attack, the Core Guardian raised its arms to block for the first time. Not only that, it released a massive amount of steam. Along with the steam, the Core Guardian's metal armor suddenly changed positions, forming a defensive shield to guard against Rhode's attack.

But at this time, the blade had already reached the front of the golem.

The sword on Rhode's hand continued to strike forward. A series of flashes discharged from the blade, producing a blinding light. Finally, it connected with the Core Guardian's body and the raging lightning attacks surged around the metallic body. Accompanied by an explosion, its armor was blown off.

And due to this, the Core Guardian's movement stopped entirely. To Rhode, this was enough.

The sword that was blazing with electricity pierced through the golem's armor and struck into its body.

The Core Guardian went silent.

Afterwards, a massive amount of white steam was released from its body.

Now's the chance!

Rhode was clear what was going to happen next. He retreated quickly and ran towards Anne.

”Anne, get down! Raise your shield!”

Rhode quickly shouted towards Anne and rushed to her side. The white steam suddenly increased in density, and the sound was becoming increasingly deafening. Not much time was left! Rhode grabbed Anne's head and forced her to duck, barely avoiding a nearby Guardian Golem's attack.

”Raise your shield!! Now, quick!”

”Ah, yes!!” Anne was still trying to register what was happening, quickly responded.

She hastily raised her shield and covered both of them. At the same time, a Guardian Golem's attack came from above. At this point, Anne was totally confused but she still obeyed Rhode's orders.

And suddenly, there was a loud bang!
