Chapter 1068 - Cassidy (1/2)
Contrast Deity Warden, Cassidy.
Even though Rhode tried to imagine how Cassidy looked several times now, he was speechless after seeing her with his own eyes. She seemed like a decent-looking young lady with a beautiful, delicate face and a healthy and slightly-tanned skin tone. Her silver-whitish hair extended to her waist, while the pure, white leather armor accentuated her slim, curvy figure. What was most attractive about her was the large sword on her back. Instead of treating it as a sword, one might as well say that it was a rectangular iron plate. Not only did it not have a typical sharp blade, but it also lacked the arc of a sword. No matter how one looked at it, it was like an iron plate cast on the hilt of a longsword.
But Rhode didn’t dare to belittle this sword that didn’t look like one. After witnessing Christie’s ‘feather pen’ and Alice’s ‘book’, he had a deep understanding of the dangers of the mysterious weapons the Deity Wardens possessed.
Although Cassidy seemed similar to the other Deity Wardens… her qualities were totally different from theirs. Be it the other ‘Christie’, Marlene, or Alice, no matter how different their personalities were, they fit being superiors. Christie’s steadiness, Marlene’s indifference in the past and current arrogance, and Alice’s imposing manner overlooking all things fit the traits of the Creator Dragons’ dependents. But now, Rhode didn’t feel as though he had met a Deity Warden when he saw Cassidy. How should he put it… Gazing at her, he felt complicated. Although she seemed like a valiant and formidable-looking young lady in appearance, he felt like she was a lion trying to be a hamster accompanied by her timid manner. It was full of contradictions!
“W-Who are you? What are you trying to do?! I-I don’t know you! Stay away!”
Crossing her arms and staring in uncertainty at Rhode, Cassidy yelled timidly. Looking at this scene, Rhode didn’t know what to say. He did foresee how he should interact with her, but was completely speechless after looking at this young lady with the words ‘I’m afraid; don’t bully me’ written on her face.
Back then when you created her for her adorableness, were you sure everything would be fine?
“… Are you Cassidy?”
Rhode pondered in silence, before letting out a cough and asked. Upon hearing his words, Cassidy trembled, taking two steps back quickly like a little girl who wandered into an alley at midnight and a gangster with a villainous smile blocked her exit… Rhode didn’t like this metaphor a single bit.
“W-Who are you? How do you know me? I don’t know you… stay away!”
“I’m Rhode, the current Void Dragon.”
Even though Rhode felt downhearted, he was fortunate that his emotionless face became his best disguise for this moment as Cassidy didn’t see his emotions through his face. But to Rhode, this wasn’t the important thing. He adjusted his mood before responding to her.
“… And you should know why I came here, right, Miss Cassidy?”
“Big Sister?”
Cassidy heard his words and peered out curiously, gazing cautiously at him. Then, she jumped back abruptly like a frightened rabbit, pulling a distance away from the young man. Upon seeing her reaction, Rhode let out a helpless sigh. But before he continued to speak, Cassidy interrupted.
“You’re not Big Sister! Yes… even though I feel Big Sister’s presence… and you indeed look like her… you’re still not her! Don’t try to fool my eyes! You’re trying to trick me! I won’t be that stupid to be tricked by you! You baddie! What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, I’m very powerful! Anger me and I will kill you!”
Cassidy yelled and as though proving her words, she clenched and flourished her tiny fists to threaten Rhode. However, in Rhode’s eyes, this seemed just like a hopeless retaliation from a hamster against its sworn enemy. Judging from her reaction, Rhode let out a helpless sigh and shook his head. At this moment in his mind, the image of at least one of the six, mighty Deity Wardens was tarnished.
