Sh*t… I forgot about it.

Even though Rhode’s expression remained unchanged, he cursed inwardly.

This Essence of the Eternal Night swordsmanship was one of the spoils of war that he gained after defeating the Dark Dragon in the game. As this swordsmanship was high in damage output and the pure dark energy that it coalesced could penetrate all defenses, it became his most commonly used swordsmanship. When he first came to this world, he tried to activate this swordsmanship. However, as an ancient swordsmanship inheritance, he needed 20 Skill Points to activate it. Even though he could receive two Skill Points for every increase in level thanks to the system, he needed to grow 10 levels to gather 20 Skill Points in a short period of time, which was impossible for him at that point in time. Thereafter, he held other priorities to focus building his Skill Points on. If he was a pure Swordsman, perhaps he could grind for the Skill Points. But, he was a Spirit Swordsman, after all, and the strength of his spirits were still the most essential. It was only after he had transcended into the Legendary Stage and attained [Self-Affirmation] where he had other ways to unlock swordsmanships—but there was still a time limit.

In the face of danger, he instinctively recalled this swordsmanship which he had mastered in the past. But he had totally forgotten that this Night Wyvern was the younger sister of Dark Dragon Ion.

What should I tell her? Tell her that I killed her big brother and learned this swordsmanship from the spoils of war?

This thought only flashed in his mind for a second because Mini Bubble Gum and Canary had quickened their pace and arrived at his side. The two young ladies didn’t seem to be in a great mood, but they couldn’t be blamed since they were fooled by an ‘NPC’ in front of so many people, which was utterly humiliating.

“Leader, leave her to us. I guarantee she won’t slip away this time!”

Mini Bubble Gum said fumingly while staring at Erin. Although Canary remained silent, it was apparent from her extended arms that she was ready.

Erin looked at the two young ladies leisurely. She blinked, gazed at Rhode in silence, and let out a sigh.

“So you’re the overlord… I didn’t expect you to be a woman.”

“I’m sorry, Miss Erin. I’m a man.”

Rhode said coldly as the corner of his lips twitched. Erin widened her eyes in astonishment and scrutinized him. After a few moments, she nodded slightly and answered.

“I see. My apologies for being rude…”

At this instant, Erin extended her claws and swept at Canary and Mini Bubble Gum fiercely. This time, they were ready. Mini Bubble Gum’s hand shone brightly in radiance and in the blink of an eye, countless, inverted triangular light wings bloomed behind her and wrapped around her completely. On the other hand, Canary waved her arms and a berserk vortex emerged before her to stop Erin’s attack.

Boom!

The large, pitch-black claw crashed on their shields and sparks splashed in all directions. Canary and Mini Bubble Gum didn’t flinch to her massive strength. Instead, they chanted in harmony and their defensive vortex and light wings launched forward and swept across the night sky—the razor-sharp airflow of the vortex ripped through every Undead Creatures in its path while spurting scorching flames. On the other hand, the shimmering light wings exposed their sharpest edge like those of broken glass and darted forward—after their previous clash, the two young ladies had learned that they shouldn’t follow her rhythm, which was why they attacked decisively this time in order to take charge of the battle.

Erin had no choice but to dodge their linked attack and quickly draw a distance apart.

But that was only a feint.

Shing!

As soon as Erin backed off, Rhode sensed a strong gale from behind and turned around almost instinctively. Then, a slender, pitch-black tail swung from above, brushed him, and drew a perfect arc before lashing at Mini Bubble Gum. Mini Bubble Gum dodged swiftly, but Erin stretched out her dragon claw and struck off the former’s light blade. Then, she turned her claw for Rhode!

Damn!

He didn’t expect Erin to be this sly—he dodged and tried to blend into the shadow. But he felt his body became heavy as the illuminating moon radiance dragged him down like shackles locked on his limbs.

This damn moon rule!

Rhode cursed inwardly, at the same time swept a glance above.

The sky was cloudless and the moon shone brightly in this pitch-black darkness.
