Although everyone had heard about this young man’s heroic stories against the Light Parliament, it was still the first time they heard his hostilities personally. It was due to this reason that they didn’t react immediately to the true meaning behind Rhode’s words.

Their reactions were too slow.

Rhode drew a black arc from his sheath.

Shing!

Gorden hadn’t come back to his senses, but as a soldier, his instincts saved his life. He flinched, drew his double-handed sword, and rose a powerful whirlwind from the ground to negate Rhode’s attack.

However, this didn’t mean that Gorden had it easy.

Clang!

The pitch-black lightning bolts collided with Gorden’s double-handed sword. At the same time, Gorden felt as though his double-handed sword was struck by a giant boulder, which deflected it to the side. He flustered, stepped back hurriedly, and at this moment, he witnessed an incredible scene.

Not only him, but the people around him also shrieked in horror. They witnessed Rhode brandish his blade from above and clash into Gorden’s double-handed sword. The latter dodged quickly, but at the same time, Rhode’s black blade also streaked a half arc in the air. What seemed to be an ordinary move left everyone in disbelief.

Because a phantom suddenly emerged from Rhode’s body and struck forward like a lightning bolt along with its sword as though there were two Rhodes coordinating their attacks!

How is this possible?!

Gorden was stumped. He initially thought that he could retreat and order his soldiers to attack altogether. However, he didn’t expect that Rhode would be this quick. Gorden clearly witnessed the young man taking a step back and yet, he re-emerged before him at the next moment. Gorden took in a deep breath and held his double-handed sword horizontally before him. At the same time, the phantom’s blade clashed.

Clang!

The trembles shook Gorden’s arms violently, but before he gathered his strength, the dazzling, black blade ray above him turned into a vast sky of stars that enveloped him entirely.

“Argh!”

Gorden couldn’t hold on any longer. In fact, the continuous attacks had punctured his defenses. After his double-handed sword was deflected, he instantly felt hundreds of spiritual blades striking his body and bone-piercing pain engulfed him completely.

Boom!

Gorden collapsed to the ground with ghastly wounds all over his body and everyone stared blankly.

This ‘battle’ lasted for less than 15 seconds… No, perhaps less than 10 seconds. Some of the more formidable beings figured out what just happened. However, to the weaker ones, it was just a show of dazzling lights before Gorden flew into the air and crashed to the ground.

After a few moments, the crowd returned to their senses, but before they reacted, Rhode swung his arm in his poker face. Then, the terrifying creatures behind him strode forward with their raised spears and stopped Gorden’s subordinates who had rushed forward with their weapons. Rhode sheathed his sword, slowly went up to the groaning Gorden, and looked down in disdain.

“This is how it should be—a dog will always remain a dog. Who do you think you are? So what if you’re the leader of the Mayflower Legion?” Rhode stepped on Gorden’s cape and cleaned his sole on the blooming scarlet flower.

“Stop it! Munn Kingdom’s bastard!”

Gorden’s subordinates snarled and pushed forward, but were immediately stopped by furious snarls.

“———!”

The fire elemental creatures darted forward and brandished their fire spears at the soldiers, who shrieked and defended instinctively. However, they were too slow. The burning spears pierced into their bodies like butter. Then, blood-curdling screeches filled the sky as the soldiers burned from head to toe and struggled for survival. Within a few seconds, they crumbled lifelessly.
