Chapter 756 - Utterly Defeated (2/2)

Also, have you figured things out yet, Your Highness? This is a battle between two armies and not a party. Is it really right for you to do this?

Even though Rhode cursed inwardly, he knew that he had to answer because Erin was focusing her gaze on him. It would still be possible to refuse if it was a young lady looking at him. But the pressure that he felt from this wyvern was too much. Besides, his name also wasn’t any top secret and he knew that the Country of Darkness could almost instantly find out his identity after some investigation. He took in a deep breath and sheathed his sword.

“I’m the overlord of Paphield—Grenbell, Rhode Alander. They’re my subordinates, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum. Even though it sounds strange to say this now, I’m still delighted to meet you, Your Highness Erin.”

“Interesting names… but you’re aware of who I am?”

Erin blinked curiously, while Rhode nodded.

“Of course, the distinguished title of the ‘Moon Princess’ has spread across the entire continent. But I didn’t expect you to show up personally.”

“I was only here to assist someone.”

Erin let out a chuckle and gazed behind Rhode where the Battle Angel Army was rushing forward.

“Alright then, I shall take my leave now, Mr. Rhode and both of you young ladies. I hope we can meet in a place that’s more suitable for a chat next time.”

Erin flapped her wings and spiraled skyward before vanishing into the pitch-black darkness. The trio let out sighs of relief instantly.

“Oh gosh, it was so tough, Leader. I’m not playing anymore. I don’t wanna do something so dangerous next time.”

Mini Bubble Gum stretched her limbs and said with some lingering fears. Canary knitted her brows slightly and nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, Rhode. If this were in the game, I’m pretty sure she’s in the top ten in terms of threat.”

There were many times when the threat rankings of BOSSes were gravely different between players and natives. The players didn’t care about how powerful the BOSSes were. Instead, the BOSSes with outstanding combat skills and awareness were their biggest enemies. The Dark Dragon might be powerful, but he was overly-stubborn. Once the battle developed into a stage where both sides had to meet force with force, this was when Rhode and his team felt as though they were fish back in the water. Players weren’t afraid of meeting force with force. Instead, a BOSS like Erin who they couldn’t fathom, often made unpredictable moves, and was as cunning as players gave them the most headaches.

Before interacting with Erin, Rhode didn’t understand too much about her. However, after this battle, he instantly placed her in the top three of the most dangerous enemies that he would face. Initially, he, Canary, and Mini Bubble Gum thought that Erin was only dangerous with her rule power. But they didn’t expect her to be this skillful. Although she didn’t enjoy battles, this was obviously different from not being an expert in battles!

Rhode also nodded in agreement. He turned around and saw Beni leading the Battle Angels toward them. Under the moonlight, the majestic fortress seemed so ever clear as though announcing that this wasn’t a dream.

“No matter what it has finally ended.”
