Chapter 1121 - Emerging Danger (1/2)

Rhode wasn’t in the mood to care about Erin anymore, despite her being the reason why he was here in the first place. He found a much more bothersome thing waiting for him to handle. As he entered deeper into the Chaos Nest, he was stunned to realize that not only did the monster corrode the entire moon base, but it had also contaminated the moon itself. Fortunately, there weren’t many life forms and the only thing stopping Rhode’s group from advancing were the pitiful soldiers in the base. If not, maybe Rhode’s group would have a much harder time stopping the Chaos Nest. But even so, this didn’t mean they were having it easy now!

“Heyah!”

Rhode flitted across the ground as two shadow clones split out of his body, dividing him into three from the left, right, and middle. They raised their swords and struck the monster ahead. Along with his attack, the flesh monsters all around them crawled like spiders widening their mouths as they spurted black, turbid liquid at Rhode. But before the seemingly poisonous liquid struck him, it was stopped by a golden shield that appeared out of nowhere. At the next instant, Rhode turned his wrist around and another card flashed in his hand. Then, dozens of crossbows glowing in magical radiance emerged behind him. The dazzling magical radiance flickered constantly in the run-down, metallic tunnel, repelling the monsters that crawled toward it.

“Tsk.”

Gazing at the relentless flesh monsters that continued to swarm forward despite being struck by arrows, Rhode couldn’t help but express his annoyance. Just as what his younger sister had warned, the deeper they went, the stronger the resistance they faced. From the start, Mini Bubble Gum, Canary, Lydia, and him were able to fight individually. But toward the end, they had no choice but to tackle the endless monsters as a group. What gave Rhode a bigger headache was that the moon base had been contaminated by the monsters completely, causing their surroundings to be covered in revolting walls of flesh. But this wasn’t all because Rhode also discovered that if they weren’t able to defeat them instantly, the monsters would be devoured into the stomachs of the ‘walls of flesh’ and re-enhanced into stronger monsters that would seek revenge. This was why the only way to eliminate them once and for all was to seize the opportunity to eradicate them all. If not, there would be no end to this chase!

If Rhode had his dragon soul powers, he could demolish them in a single slash of his blade. But after leaving behind his dragon essence, his current strength was just level 85, the same as a max-leveled player. As for Canary and Mini Bubble Gum, they were also affected by the disruption to their data, causing their strength to decline to level 80. Even though their skills still existed, they weren’t as formidable as before in terms of strength. On the other hand, Lydia was the only one with her full strength. But after advancing deeper into the dangerous Chaos Nest, she wasn’t fighting alone. Instead, she followed Rhode’s group closely and rushed toward the core of the nest alongside them.

“Third wave!”

Evading the monsters’ attack once again, Rhode raised his sword abruptly and penetrated the monster before him. However, the monster didn’t flinch at all, not even when the holy energy erupting from his blade was burning its body. It let out a blood-curdling roar, stretching and slashing its enormous claws at him. Along with this move, another two monsters pounced on Rhode from the left and right, attempting to surround him. But facing their pincer attack, Rhode wasn’t flustered at all. Instead, he let out a snort, retracted his blade, and retreated swiftly. Meanwhile, two shadow clones split out of his body again, dashing ahead and raising their swords, neglecting the razor-sharp claws.

Boom!

It was apparent that even though the monsters were strong, their IQ had a lot of room for improvement. They didn’t notice the difference between these two preys and the one before. Facing the shadow clones, not only did the monsters not retreat, but they also continued to charge ahead and slash their claws at them. But at the same time, their brains were punctured by the tip of Rhode’s blade and they collapsed to the ground, losing all control immediately. Meanwhile, the squirming walls of flesh shuddered and extended a dozen tentacles to retrieve the corpses. But before they succeeded…

“Wingda mais.”

Canary extended her arms, spraying a blue, cold mist from between her hands. Shortly after, the three corpses and fluttering tentacles froze into ice at the same time. Even though she was adept in the flame and wind elements, as a mage, how could she be worthy of possessing the ‘maiden class’ if she didn’t master all elements? Although she wasn’t an expert in the water element, with the help of the harsh coldness of the environment right now, her ice spells were greatly effective.

The tentacles and monsters that intended to retrieve the corpses froze entirely. Although it was only for a few seconds, it was more than enough for the rest on stand by.

“Heyah!”

Boom!

A holy beam of light comparable to a cannon blast from a warship dazzled. Mini Bubble Gum raised her arms high up in the air. Along in this motion, the ‘Guardian Light’ behind this floating little fella erupted with several, enormous light beams. They merged into one, devouring all obstacles in their path completely. Be it the debris in the hallway, corpses of the monsters, or tentacles struggling to break free from the ice cage, they were submerged in sacred, white radiance before vanishing into thin air.

The walls of flesh shuddered in uncertainty in response to the attack of the holy brilliance, continuously taking in and spitting out chunks of flesh, attempting to make up for the damage they received. But Rhode’s group obviously wouldn’t let them have their way so easily. Expanding her wings and gliding in the air in the back of the group, Lydia narrowed her eyes and struck forth with her blades that emanated a golden radiance. Two blade rays as glaring as lightning bolts spread throughout the walls of flesh, forming a continuous net that wrapped the entire wall. The wriggling flesh blackened and hardened upon being struck by the pure, sacred attack, losing its motion completely like burnt meat.
