Chapter 1216 - Queen of Blades (2) (1/2)
The young lady stretched out her arm and held Rhode’s right hand.
Along with this action, magical radiance emanated around them and a summoning ritual appeared under their feet. A green brilliance and chilly death aura unique to specters emerged from the summoning ritual, coalescing into a green card that landed in Rhode’s palm.
That card appeared to be hallucinatory. In the hazy radiance, its entirety seemed so unclear. The card was translucent and seemingly a product of fuzzy, frosted glass. One could see the indistinct figure of a young lady on the card, and there was nothing else apart from that. Fortunately, the system prompt had popped up in front of Rhode’s eyes, assisting him in confirming the card’s identity.
[Received Holy Sword: Queen of Blades——Five. Death isn’t the end, but the beginning. Roaming between the lines of life and death, when the Queen of Blades flourishes her sword, mortals will be sent into the ice-cold abyss of death. Imaginary Property: LV 3 (Ability to turn holder into spiritual form). Lightning Strike: LV 3 (Extreme Speed +5). Deadly Assault: LV 3 (Upon hitting the enemy, there is a certain chance to inflict a deadly curse and sever the enemy’s body)]
“…”
Gazing at the introduction of the card, Rhode put up an amused expression. Judging from her ‘specter’ characteristics, even though this card was meant to deal with mortals, he was surprised that her abilities were so transcendent. Also, what was up with the ability to ‘sever the enemy’s body’? Could it be that this card gained this ability after she and Shira ‘killed each other lovingly’ for a long time? For some unknown reason, upon looking at the details, Rhode felt like there was a subtle, malicious intent…
Come to think of it, she didn’t even have a name and the system interface only showed that her name was ‘Five’. Was it because she was in the fifth seat? Judging from her appearance, Rhode couldn’t help but rub his chin and narrow his eyes at the specter young lady.
In this case, I might as well call her Little Five. Yes, that sounds smoother, doesn’t it?
“…”
Unsure if the specter young lady realized that Rhode was imagining things, she glared at him coldly. However, Rhode wasn’t afraid of her stare at all. Even though the aura that the specter young lady exuded was terrifying, it piqued his curiosity instead. He squinted and sized up the young lady. Both of them exchanged looks for a few moments. Then, the young lady turned over and vanished into the air silently. Up until that moment, Rhode shifted his gaze to the side.
“Alright, that is all for today. Go wash up and call it a night.”
He continued.
Based on the current situation, even though the matter had clearly come to an end, it wasn’t exactly over for Rhode. There was some crucial information brought back by Angelina. If what she said were true, this stalemate would be improved over time. But to Rhode, in order to improve the situation, there were many things he needed to do… And one of them was rather adventurous. But despite that, he had no choice but to accomplish it.
“Have you decided, Big Brother?”
Upon hearing the gentle voice of his younger sister, Rhode turned around and gazed at a face that he couldn’t be more familiar with. The delicate and tender face blushed in a pink complexion. The young lady curled up in his embrace with half-shut eyes. Rhode felt her warm and soft, smooth skin as they laid together. Perhaps due to the ‘intensive exercise’ earlier, the young lady panted slightly. Rhode even felt her heart pounding. He couldn’t help but stretch his arm and wrap it around her slim waist. Upon sensing his touch, the young lady trembled, but quickly relaxed and reclined into his arms.
“Yes—almost. According to Angelina’s intelligence, as long as we defeat Ion, everything will go smoothly. I don’t want to stir up a hornets’ nest around Chaos. In this world, there is no future in going against Chaos. As long as we transmigrate the entire Dragon Soul Continent to the solar system, everything will turn out well.”
“…”
Upon hearing his words, the younger sister nodded gently. Rhode was right. In this world where Chaos dominated, there was no point in going against Chaos. Although the Creator Dragons did their best to create the Dragon Soul Continent to defeat Chaos, they barely survived the disaster. Of course, such wars could last for hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of years. But what was the meaning behind them? If Rhode or any other Creator Dragons were to answer this question, there was only one answer.
There was no meaning at all.
