Chapter 451 Chaos Blade (1/2)

What in the world is this?

Rhode widened his eyes curiously at the twin daggers in his hands lost their original form and transformed into energy blades. Furthermore, the blades were no longer pure black as they spun in a dusky hue continuously. The strange blades extended to Rhode's wrist. Perhaps Rhode would have thought that the blades had blended with his arms if he couldn't feel the hilts.

Rhode was so flabbergasted that he could no longer read any data relating to the daggers after they had transformed!

However, this wasn't the time to care about something unimportant this.

”Heyah!” Anne pounced on the ant-like undead creatures that crawled out of the abyssal hole, brandishing her steel shield in her right hand.

The large, pitch-black shield whizzed under the glittering wind elemental radiance and swept the undead creatures away. In an instant, all the limbs scattered throughout the place. However, the undead creatures continued to advance without the slightest scruple even after Anne's attack slowed their movements.

It was finally Celia's and Celestina's turn to strike.

The Battle Angel brandished her silver-whitish sword while fluttering her wings under Anne's protection. She streaked through the air and along with her movements, a long line burning holy flames rendered the ground as though a fire serpent was slithering under Celia's guidance. The pitiful undead creatures were devoured by the scorching flames entirely.

Celestina stood behind both of them, feeling indignant. She gritted her teeth while gazing at Rhode with a dull expression. After a few moments, she stomped her foot and lifted her thorny whip. Then, the whip in her hand formed a circle that enveloped herself. The demonic young lady's left hand stroked several strange characters while she chanted softly. She opened her eyes as soon as she completed the final stroke with a downward swipe.

A huge scarlet ritual circle appeared above the abyssal hole. As though a saucepan lid, it sealed the opening that the Undead Keeper had created. The undead creatures shuddered as soon as they touched the ritual circle as though they were electrocuted. Then, white smoke began emitting from their bodies and the undead creatures let go of their hands and fell back into the bottomless abyss.

However, this only lasted temporarily. Although Celestina had sealed the abyssal hole, the Undead Keeper was charging towards them in large steps. Even though a portion of the undead creatures that crawled out of the hole were eliminated by Celia and Anne, the majority of the undead creatures continued to surround them. Meanwhile, the undead creatures's corpse piled up all around disgustingly like locusts.

”Be careful! Don't leave my side!” Although Delno had been following the group, he hurried;y stood up and fought the dangerous undead creatures alongside Celia. On the other hand, Metzel and Shirley stuck close to Delno and confronted the undead creatures that had passed him.

Metzel's abilities were rather decent. Although he was still a newbie as an adventurer, this young man's scrupulous attention to detail in battles and the radiance emanating from his blade showed how harsh his swordsman training was. At this moment, he brandished his sword to support Celia, who couldn't budge as she was maintaining the ritual circle.

Rhode had decided to not be in this tangle anymore. Although he wasn't sure of what his daggers had transformed into, any hidden technique wouldn't be a bad thing based on his gaming experience. Furthermore, he had to take things seriously in this current situation. In the game, although undead creatures would vanish as long as the Undead Keeper was defeated, who knew what would happen here?

Rhode charged forward swiftly and arrived at the Undead Keeper's side.

The Undead Keeper was surprised to find its prey at its doorsteps. It bellowed before swinging its blade to crush Rhode into bits.

And this was the worst flaw of an undead creature: it was brainless.

Rhode predictably its attack and evaded. Perhaps Rhode would be concerned about the Undead Keeper's 'earth-shattering' attack if he were on the ground all the time, but since he had fused with the Spirit Bird's powers, the Undead Keeper was less threatening to him.

Rhode streaked a perfect arc with his left dagger which was emanating with light and slashed into the Undead Keeper's arm.

However, he realized that something was amiss.

It was no longer the sensation of cutting into solid flesh; instead, Rhode felt as though his dagger was cutting through butter. At the same time, Rhode felt a strange suction from his dagger blade.

This odd suction was the same he felt during his fight with Barter in the Midsummer Festival.

The gash on the Undead Keeper's arm twisted violently as though it was sucked by a gigantic vacuum cleaner. The arm whizzed and whirled at the same time before finally twisting and shrinking. In a blink of an eye, it disappeared into the unlimited void of its blade entirely.

What exactly is this?

Rhode widened his eyes in astonishment. He had played Dragon Soul Continent for many years and he had never seen such amazing powers on a weapon. No, this isn't a weapon anymore. This is more like a product of a certain spell. Could this be the unique technique of this pair of daggers?

However, the current situation didn't allow Rhode to think further as the Undead Keeper snarled fumingly after realizing it was missing an arm. It flung its other blade horizontally towards Rhode, but Rhode flew up and eluded its attack. Rhode repositioned himself and pierced his right dagger into the Undead Keeper's other arm.

Similar to before, there wasn't any resistance and the Undead Keeper's palm was absorbed swiftly. Even its powerful arm was ripped apart by the powerful suction and in the blink of an eye, it vanished into the chaotic, boundless darkness.

No matter what it is, it seems really powerful.

At this moment, three of the four Undead Keeper's arms had been completely scrapped. Two of its arms had disappeared due to Rhode's while the other arm was bloodied and damaged from Celestina's attack. The Undead Keeper who had lost its three arms seemed less threatening now and the strong suction on Rhode's daggers forced it to move a few steps forward. However, it wasn't enough to lure it into the abyssal hole that it had created.

An idea popped up in Rhode's mind as he witnessed the Undead Keeper's unstable movements. He gripped his twin daggers and laid them across one another in a cross-shape. Then, a faint dark hole emerged at the intersection of the daggers and at the same time, these two dagger blades became much more transparent as though the duration of their hidden technique was ending.

Rhode raised his daggers high while gazing at the Undead Keeper. At this moment, the Undead Keeper lifted its head and snapped its mouth wide open. It let out an ear-deafening roar before blasting two ice breaths from its mouths, enveloping Rhode instantly.
