Chapter 1165 - Ghost Under the Lava (3) (1/2)
Rumbles…
Along with Canary’s reminder, Rhode felt the ground quickly trembling. The Chaos aura underneath his feet was surging and becoming denser. It seemed like his outburst of power was eventually detected by that damned creature. Not only that, but Rhode also sensed the wild power of Chaos rushing constantly, bringing along an extremely dangerous aura!
“Bubble, how’s the situation?!”
Rhode hesitated no more and contacted Bubble immediately. Upon hearing his concern, Bubble No. 2 responded quickly.
“We’re making our way there. We need around three minutes to reach the door. There aren’t any obstacles along the way, though…”
“Pick up the pace and pass through the door immediately… Argh, damn it!”
The instant Rhode commanded Mini Bubble Gum, he suddenly heard a series of ‘crackling’ sounds that startled him. He turned around and witnessed the dense power of Chaos encircling the cabins below, erupting wildly. Turbid liquid eroded the specimen-looking primitive men who began to struggle. Judging from their bulging trembling bodies and horns growing from their foreheads, these people apparently had no intention of gaining freedom after breaking free from the shackles.
“Argh, annoying as hell!”
Looking at this scene, Rhode curled his lips in displeasure. Of course, he didn’t have the bad habit of game protagonists who only attacked after the transformation-animation of the BOSS was completed. The instant he witnessed the change, he dashed ahead with his sword. In a series of flashing blade rays and crisp cracks, the surrounding cabins shattered immediately. The specimens that were ‘transforming’ also collapsed to the assault. But this didn’t assure Rhode just yet because he was aware that there were thousands of similar creatures like them above.
It seemed like Rhode was right. These Chaos beings had no intention of letting those idiots, who acted all high-and-mighty after attaining some power of Chaos, be their subordinates. Even if Rhode didn’t attack this time, they would still be eliminated by the primitive men who were completely contaminated by Chaos. What was funny was that those guys actually thought the Chaos beings treated them as worthy and were unaware that Chaos beings didn’t give a damn about kindness and shame at all. Even though they resembled humans, in the eyes of Chaos beings, they were nothing more than useful tools.
… Hum…!
At that moment, Rhode suddenly heard a strange sound that startled him. He turned around and spotted the woman imprisoned in the middle cabin emanating brilliant rays. The power of Chaos surged from above to below, surrounding the woman entirely and attempting to devour her as though it were conscious, turning her into a presence of Chaos. But what shocked Rhode was that upon facing the erosion of Chaos, that woman didn’t have any reaction at all. On the contrary, the primitive men who couldn’t resist the invasion of Chaos had as though turned into monsters injected by a virus. The surging power of Chaos encircled her violently and yet, failed to take over her body. Not only that, but the woman also erupted brilliant white rays from her body that instantly converted the turbid power of Chaos into Order!
Who is she?
“Do you know what that power is?”
“I-I don’t know, Big Brother…”
Rhode’s younger sister’s voice was also filled with surprise. It was apparent that she was also astounded by what she witnessed.
“Only the five Creator Dragons have such power. But I’m sure that only five of us were born!”
“Could she be a new Creator Dragon who was born afterward? After all, weren’t you guys born the same way?”
“It’s different, Big Brother. Back then, we were born alongside this continent, so we obtained the ability to create the world. But now, there aren’t any changes to this world…”
“Forget it, no matter what she is, let’s head out first.”
The trembles underneath his feet became even more violent. Rhode realized that the situation was turning worse. He no longer had the time to discuss with his younger sister about the background of that mysterious woman. However, since the woman was able to turn Chaos into Order, she would be considered someone on their side. Without much hesitation, Rhode smashed the cabin before him and swiftly rescued the woman. At that moment, he heard vague bellows from ferocious beasts. It went without saying that the creatures completely modified by the power of Chaos were ready to attack. Rhode concealed his strength no more. He dashed ahead in a ray of dazzling light, bursting through the steel wall of the tower with the woman in his arms.
“Your Majesty Rhode!”
“Leader!”
The instant he darted out, he spotted the others who were sprinting toward the door. By Marybelle’s and Mini Bubble Gum’s lead, the group was moving quickly. Meanwhile, the lava surrounding them was constantly boiling. The ground trembled and everything seemed like an omen of the end of the world. Rhode’s group, which was searching for him, heaved a huge sigh of relief upon seeing him. Shortly after, Gracier, Madaras, Mini Bubble Gum, and the rest went up to him.
“Your Majesty Rhode, those people are being contaminated by the power of Chaos…”
Before Lydia finished her sentence, Rhode extended his arm and interrupted abruptly.
“I know, retreat immediately! Our goal isn’t to fight. It doesn’t matter to us what happens to this place. Everyone, head to the door now. After Marybelle opens it, we will leave right away!”
Rhode tossed the woman on his shoulder over to Erin. Erin caught the seemingly-asleep woman and couldn’t help but feel shocked.
“This woman is already dead. Your Majesty Rhode, why are you…”
“There are some interesting secrets about her. Bring her along. We’re leaving this place now!”
Upon realizing the terrible situation, Rhode gave his command and dashed toward the door.
The situation was horrible.
When Rhode arrived at the door, he noticed the two Canarys gnashing their teeth and raising their arms palely. Along with their actions, the blazing lava rushed continuously like vicious monsters. Under the scarlet and scorching lava, the huge, indistinct shadowy figure was seen moving. It was apparent to Rhode that the two Canarys were manipulating the lava to overwhelm and stop that terrifying creature. But it seemed like they couldn’t hang on for much longer!
“R-Rhode!”
Upon seeing Rhode’s arrival, the two Canarys felt relaxed instantly. But shortly after, they gritted their teeth again and made a few hand gestures. Along with their movements, scarlet runes appeared in their hands one by one, trembling constantly. It could be seen that they were under tremendous pressure. But now, the only thing Rhode could do was to let them hang on by themselves.
As Rhode’s group wiped out the obstacles earlier, they didn’t face too many hurdles now. Moreover, even though most of them weren’t as powerful as Rhode and Lydia, they weren’t too far behind in strength either. At full sprint, the group passed through the pitch-black, steel bridge and arrived at the plaza of the door. The guards around here were also dealt with by Gracier and Madaras earlier, so there wasn’t anyone causing trouble for them.
“Marybelle, how much longer do you need?!”
“I need some time, Your Majesty!”
While raising the magic wand high in her hand, Marybelle knitted her brows and yelled.
