Chapter 1329 - City of White (6) (2/2)

“This just isn’t right! You two will only bring trouble…!”

Without realizing it, the three of them began to argue. And along with their argument, the original scenery vanished, only to be replaced by a sticky white mass. At that instant, Rhode noticed a black void appearing beneath his feet. At the next moment, the heavens and earth turned upside down. As if being caught in the white whirlpool, Rhode was surrounded by the whirlpool and began to spin wildly. The arguments of the three in his ears became increasingly louder, to a point where it was almost impossible to hear their words clearly.

And after an unknown amount of time, the noise in his ears finally vanished. The world in front of his eyes changed yet again. Right now, what was in front of him was no longer the fairy tale-like world, but a pure white field instead. At that moment, he stood on a stone plate that looked like a huge circular plaza. As far as his eyes could see, there was nothing but the color white everywhere. The battle angel, on the other hand, half-knelt on the ground in exhaustion as if she had just been through a war.

“This is…”

Looking at the world in front of him, Rhode was bewildered. It seemed like this was the core of Celia’s mental world. But… Why now?

Come to think of it, what the hell just happened?

“Mr. Rhode… Why did you do that?”

And at that moment, the battle angel finally spoke. For some reason, Rhode noticed that this Celia wasn’t as cold and rigid as before. On the contrary, he heard a strong resentment from her tone… Resentment? This sentiment was a rare one for her. Not only that, but it was also the first time she had called out his name. Before this moment, she had never spoken with him, as if he didn’t exist at all.

But now… The situation didn’t seem good either.

“You shouldn’t have come here, Mr. Rhode. This has nothing to do with you. I think that’s the best judgment as no one gets hurt that way. It might be a little hard to accept, but considering the end result, I think it’s acceptable…! Why? Why did you do that? You just don’t understand!”

“Yes, I really don’t.”

Rhode was quick to acknowledge her speech.

“But it’s precisely that I don’t understand, which is why I’m doing it… No matter what, I’m bound to make a choice since I’m here.”

“As expected… This has always been your style, Master…”

With those words, Celia raised her head slowly. Her expression turned increasingly serious, angry, and ice-cold. Almost at the same time, a huge golden bird cage suddenly appeared out of nowhere, descended from the sky, and shrouded them within. Not only did she change the way she addressed him, but her outfit also transformed. Soon, the gorgeous and heavy white-golden armor vanished, only to be replaced with the armor that Celia wore in her daily life. It could even be said that the current battle angel finally returned to being the original Celia.

“But I don’t like it, Master… It should have been me first. Why did things end up this way?”

“Celia?”

Celia’s speech became even more confusing, leaving Rhode at a loss. However, he raised his guard instinctively as the tension in the air and the level of danger he felt were far above the level of the previous fight between the three mental entities. Right now, the atmosphere was filled with dense murderous intent. And the moment he raised his guard, a blade ray flashed past his eyes.

Clang!

If he hadn’t raised his guard in time, perhaps the blade ray would have pierced right into his body. But in the face of this ambush from Celia, Rhode was able to block her attack and took the opportunity to draw a distance away from her. But even so, his eyes glinted in an unbelievable flash.

“Celia?”

It wasn’t surprising that he was stunned. Celia was one of his most loyal subordinates. But now, she seemed like she was going to annihilate him!

What have I done to make her hate me so much? I neither toyed with nor threw her aside, so what’s with this?

“Master, since you want me to say it, I will do so…”

As Celia spoke, she raised her sword and aimed at him.

“I have always been very unhappy with what Master has done!”

Swish!

Along with those words, another blade ray swung down at him. Rhode dodged in a swift maneuver, but that didn’t stop her. Instead, she continuously brandished her sword at him. Not only that, but she also didn’t stop yelling.

“Why did you sacrifice so many innocent people? While they may have gone too far with things, many innocents were implicated! Master, you care too little for their lives! You’ve gone too far! I don’t like that! And you’re always plotting against people with some nasty scheme! Don’t you think it’s evil? I wish my master were more upright! Why do you have to do those nasty things when you obviously have a resolute side on the battlefield?!”

Along with her accusations, she flourished her sword at Rhode unceasingly. Fortunately for him, this was a mental world, so his attributes weren’t restricted by the outside world. He maintained the strength of a Void Dragon, so even though Celia’s attacks were fierce, it was still easy for him to dodge them. However…

Seems like Celia has a really big grudge against me.

Hearing the accusations from her, Rhode was speechless. He knew that Celia definitely disliked what he did. And as the holy sword card that had followed him for the longest time, she could be said to have witnessed his journey from the beginning until now. And no one knew better than Celia what he had done…

Up until that moment, everything seemed normal. But it was only later when her complaints deviated from the norm.

“Master, you are so unruly! Even with all the pretty girls around you, you’re still messing with others! And to do that kind of outrageous and shameless thing to so many girls, you’ve gone too far! And you obviously didn’t even spare Big Sister! Why don’t you care for me?! You like girls so much, but you’ve never looked at me. Am I no better than Big Sister?!”

“Huh?”

Rhode was taken aback by her confessions.

What in the world is going on?
