Chapter 1138 - A Message Spanning Over 65 Million Years (1) (2/2)

Whoosh…!

As soon as the tornado was split apart, an even stronger tempest burst out ahead of them. All of a sudden, the trio felt the air around them being pressured and deformed. Then, they felt their bodies flying backward uncontrollably as though being struck by an invisible hammer. Fortunately, they were experienced and calm, somersaulting and turning over quickly to eliminate the powerful force, before standing firmly on the ground. But this time, they looked at one another again and found terror in their eyes!

Putting aside Rhode, Erin’s and Lydia’s strength definitely couldn’t be resisted by some unworthy wind element. It could also be said that even if the wind elemental lord were to show up, the wind elemental lord would be considered capable if he or she could cut off a strand of their hair as they stood on the spot without retaliating. But that attack earlier almost dealt damage to them!

It wasn’t meant to say how fragile the moon princess and archangel were that they couldn’t take a single damage. It was just that there were really not many people who could hurt themt. Moreover, Erin, Lydia, and Rhode gave their all-out attacks just now. If they were in the outside world, their attacks would be enough to rip through an international metropolis and result in three boundless abyss beneath the surface. But here, their attacks finally slashed a crack and yet, they were almost hurt by the retaliation?

“Seems like we need another plan.”

Compared to the startled Erin and Lydia, Rhode was apparently much calmer. After all, he had already learned about Marybelle’s abilities from his younger sister. Since Marybelle was able to create an ice-crystal layer that not even Lydia could break, it wasn’t surprising that she could create another barrier that prohibited anyone from entering. That was just how godlike Marybelle’s abilities were. So what other solutions could he possibly come up with?

“Do you have any solutions?”

Waving his hand to get the two young ladies to wait temporarily, Rhode knitted his brows and asked inwardly. Upon hearing his question, his younger sister hesitated for a few moments and said.

“I’m not too sure, Big Brother. If Marybelle wants to refuse anyone, perhaps we can’t do anything about it. But I think there is still a chance because Marybelle is a cautious person. Before she does anything, she will carefully set up everything and never take a risk in anything. That is why I think the possibilities of her making the decision to ‘refuse all contact’ aren’t high. So…” The younger sister paused before speaking in an awkward tone: “Big Brother, you can try using your spiritual powers to communicate with her. As you and I have fused together, your spiritual powers contain the aura of the Void Dragon. I suppose if nothing goes wrong, Marybelle should be able to detect your presence. Through this way… we may have a chance of entering.”

“…”

Upon hearing her response, Rhode pondered for a few moments. As a matter of fact, he didn’t have any better solutions. After all, he had witnessed Marybelle’s strength earlier. Not only that, but they also fought the crystal spiders and the ice layer wasn’t scratched at all. This went to show that unless Rhode returned to the Dragon Soul Continent and retrieved his dragon essence, nothing good would end up from going head-on with Marybelle. Moreover, Rhode was also concerned about the consequences of him getting into contact with that young lady. After all, it was highly likely that the situation was related to the creatures for her to seal off this place in ice. If he accidentally startled her… only God knew what would happen.

At this thought, Rhode extended his arm and closed his hand into a fist. As expected, along with this action, the violent whirlwind emerged to stop his path immediately. But this time, Rhode didn’t barge through it. Instead, he emanated a dazzling spiritual radiance which coalesced into an illusory dragon symbol in his hand. That was the symbol of the Void Dragon.

Swish———!

As soon as the symbol appeared, the whistling whirlwind around the pyramid exuded a white mist all of a sudden, wrapping the entire structure as well as the ice column like a substance. In an instant, everyone’s vision was covered by white mist. This sudden change in situation put them on alert as they stared ahead anxiously, afraid that monsters would jump out of nowhere. However, what everyone didn’t expect was that almost at the same time, the mist in front of them split apart to reveal an opening. As soon as they heard the breaking of a sound barrier, Rhode was sucked into the mist immediately. Then, the mist quickly merged and wrapped around the entire pyramid again.

This scene took everyone by surprise. Lydia’s and Erin’s reactions were quick, while Canary and Mini Bubble Gum weren’t slow either. As soon as Rhode disappeared, Lydia and Erin brandished their swords at the white mist with all their might. Canary raised her arm quickly and released blazing flames that transformed into a fire serpent and pounced on the mist wildly. Mini Bubble Gum hurled a punch forward at the white mist, her fist flickering in dazzling radiance.

However, their attacks were useless, not even after they used all their strength in this assault. When Lydia tried to follow up with another attack, the formidable whirlwind pushed her back again and didn’t seem to intend to let her through at all. It was apparent that the road ahead was blocked yet again.

On the other hand, when Erin wanted to give it another shot, Canary went up and stopped her.

“It’s fine, Your Highness Erin. Rhode has contacted us and said he is safe. I suppose we can wait here for a little while.”

“Okay then.”

Upon hearing Canary’s words, Erin didn’t feel too surprised. She nodded in affirmation, withdrew her sword, and strolled to the side to close her eyes and rest. However, she didn’t notice the other Canary gazing at the scene with complicated emotions.

The true Canary wasn’t as adventurous as Mini Bubble Gum. Frankly speaking, the heavy blow from losing her child sent her spiraling into an unprecedentedly lowest ebb. She lost her child and also her courage. In fact, she had no intention of leaving with Mini Bubble Gum, especially after meeting her projection. She felt like she didn’t have the need to be with Rhode anymore. Even though that was only a projection of herself, she felt like she had successfully left the most perfect impression of her in Rhode’s memories and that was more than enough. She didn’t look forward to adventures and wasn’t as competitive as Mini Bubble Gum. She felt like her projection could do a much better job accompanying Rhode than she could. In this case, she didn’t need to do anything more. As long as she left this place, searched for faraway land that no one knew, and lived alone until she died, that would be enough.

But after hearing what her projection said earlier, Canary felt unconvinced deep down in her heart because she was really worried about Rhode when he disappeared. But she wasn’t as powerful as her projection and couldn’t communicate with him spiritually. And now, since they were all here, why didn’t she possess such an ability? This was the first time Canary began to reconsider an answer that she had decided a long time ago. Was she really going to leave this place?

But at that moment, Rhode wasn’t aware of her feelings as he was sauntering in the dense mist.

His younger sister mentioned that Marybelle was a meticulous person and it was only now when Rhode realized just how careful she truly was. He also felt like the powerful gales hovering outside the mist was being separated and removed rapidly by the radiance emanating from the Void Dragon symbol in his hand as though it were watching and observing him. Even though he came into contact with the other deity wardens, he had to admit that this Presence Deity Warden was indeed really meticulous. But after considering her abilities, the entire Dragon Soul Continent would be in chaos if she were a careless person. Without precise thoughts, it would be impossible to verify what should and shouldn’t exist.

However, Rhode wasn’t worried. He sauntered forward as he knew that since she allowed him in, she must be ready in all areas. And indeed, after a few moments, the mist before him rolled away and retreated, turning into a considerably wide space. Then, an illusory human figure appeared.

She was the Presence Deity Warden, Marybelle.
