Chapter 810 - The Falcon’s Beacon (V) (2/2)

“This is… the power of Chaos.”

Gaya displayed a solemn expression. She pressed her fingers on the harp strings. Then, the strings released a faint radiance, along with lines of mysterious runes.

“Be prepared to die, Chaos Lackey!”

The air around her rose and coalesced into an enormous wave before blasting forward.

Shimmering blade rays erupted in the dark tunnel. The Guardian Spirits fell to the ground and shattered into green sparkles that vanished into thin air.

How troublesome.

Rhode held his sword and gazed ahead with knitted brows. He realized that things had gone out of his expectations after the Guardian Spirits kept attacking them from every corner. Even though Celia and Celestina had joined the battle and the Guardian Spirits didn’t threaten Rhode’s group too much, the endless attacks were vexing. At this moment, Rhode heard a weak voice.

“… I don’t know… Rhode… But… I don’t feel safe… Something bad is about to… Ahh…!”

Before Christie finished her sentence, the entire tunnel shook and the strong trembles shook their footing and they fell to the ground. However, unlike the others, Christie cowered and screamed painfully at the top of her lungs. Then, indistinct purple light flowed from her body!

“Christie!”

Rhode reached out for her immediately. But as soon as he held onto her shoulder, everything before him turned pitch-black and an immense pain broke out in his head. The unbearable pain left him grunting. He clenched her fists, lowered his head, and found himself sinking into total darkness…
