Life Dungeon Game

A jet-black bullet streaked through the air, heading straight for He Ao's brow. He Ao slightly shifted his body to the right, dodging the bullet, then leaped forward, instantly arriving in front of the young man, and slashed his sword diagonally upwards.

Before the young man could react, the sharp blade had already sliced ​​through his body.

The young man swayed slightly, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Then his body tilted forward and rolled down the stairs, his blood, glowing with a pale green light, flowing down the steps.

He Ao sheathed his Shadowless Sword and withdrew his gaze from the young man.

伪

He's a C-rank, and not even considered strong among pseudo-C-ranks. He must have just gained immense power and is a bit arrogant.

He didn't stop, he continued forward.

As he got closer to the rooftop, more and more distorted, shadowy monsters appeared in front of him.

In the end, the more blood was shed, the sharper and more invisible the Shadowless Sword became, and it even lost its invisibility, because the blood on the sword was never completely drained.

Finally, stepping on the path paved with twisted flesh and blood, He Ao reached the floor of the top floor.

This is a cone-shaped space. Except for the ground beneath your feet, the rest of the space is constructed entirely of transparent glass. If you look up, you can see the bright moon and stars overhead, which are half-hidden by clouds.

"I never imagined that you could actually kill Locke."

Standing in the center of the room, gazing at the entire city, Rhodes turned around and smiled at Heo.

His hair was gray, and his face was gentle; he looked like a kind old man.

There are always some unpredictable things in this world.

He Ao's gaze turned to Rhodes's back, where an invisible force had already connected amidst the dazzling lights.

In a daze, He Ao seemed to hear the slow and heavy beating of a heart.

That was the massive ritual that was taking effect throughout the entire southern city, and these forces were pulsating at a frequency that seemed like a murmur.

Just hearing that rousing sound filled He Ao's heart with twisted and frenzied emotions.

Beyond endless space and time, it seemed as if a vast gaze was descending upon us.

It is a magnificent existence that cannot be looked at directly, a reflection of endless mystery, and an end that brings destruction.

tick-

As the last drop of blood drained from the Shadowless Sword, its sharp edge vanished into the invisible void.

Heo raised his head and looked at Rhodes.

"It seems you're not willing to stop this ceremony."

"It seems you are not willing to return to the embrace of my Lord."

Rhodes watched him with a smile.

The two figures disappeared at the same time.

I'm having a bit of writer's block, will be back later.

Chapter 522 The Fate of an Ant (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

He Ao raised his hand, and the hilt of the sword rotated along with the opening and closing of his fingers, making an outward wrist flourish, changing from holding the sword with his right hand to holding it with his left hand.

Then he raised his wrist, and the sword instantly stood upright, swinging diagonally forward.

Under the cover of night, a narrow, black blade suddenly emerged from the void and collided with the invisible sword.

hum-

That was the trembling sound of knives and swords clashing.

Rhodes and Heo both took two steps back and looked at each other.

Evenly matched.

In the previous 'trial move', He Ao activated his super memory, mobilized his divine sense, and used techniques to gather the power of his body into his wrist.

Rhodes, on the other hand, is a solid B-level.

"Your body is not as weak as it appears."

Rhodes smiled and reached out to loosen the bow tie around his neck, so that the ornament would not interfere with his movements.

At this moment, a circular magic circle with a triangular cross pattern embedded in the center slowly lit up beneath his feet.

Behind Rhodes, in the city, beams of green light shone under the lights.

These rays of light intertwined with the magic array beneath his feet, providing coordinates and direction for the great beings beyond endless time and space.

He gazed at the places that were shining brightly.

Not all murder scenes are illuminated.

In fact, it was because Heo destroyed the corrupted World Tree organization and killed the puppeteers, Rose, and others.

This directly led to Rhodes' original planned ritual being unable to be carried out, so he had no choice but to resort to a less-than-perfect ritual.

Some of the points that were originally set up were abandoned.

He discovered the problem when he inspected the 'murder scene' in the morning.

This also makes the rituals arranged by Rhodes far more fragile than normal rituals.

However, he had no time left. As Heo's investigation deepened and the opening time of the ruins passage drew near, Rhodes realized that if he delayed any longer, he might be exposed. Therefore, he had no choice but to forcibly start this imperfect ritual.

Therefore, he must kill Heo, the only threatening 'insider'.

Because of the power that Heo is currently displaying, it is truly possible that he could destroy his fragile ritual.

This reason also applies to Heo. Having already been marked by the Mysterious Shadow, he will immediately become one of the Mysterious Shadow's many sacrifices once the Mysterious Shadow truly descends.

The gods don't care about the lives of ants, so ants have to fight for their lives.

He Ao spun the Shadowless Sword back in his hand, gripped the hilt with both hands, held the blade horizontally in front of his eyebrows, and made a gesture of charging up power.

The thunderous heartbeat that accompanied the ceremony still echoed in his ears, growing stronger and more powerful.

Heo moved slowly, staring at Rhodes across from him.

Under the perception of divine sense, Rhodes' body had only one energy core, located in the location of his heart.

Theoretically speaking, it seems that piercing his heart would kill him, but clearly, it's not that simple.

Based solely on Rhodes's current abilities, Howe's strength is actually slightly inferior to Rhodes's.

Ultimately, this body is only a C-grade.

Although He Ao passed the just now

The killing had already pushed the power of his 'bandit' talent sequence to its limit, but he was still only a C-level.

He wielded the ultimate Shadowless Sword, maintained his peak bandit status, and with the added benefit of super memory, he could barely reach a level similar to Rhodes.

However, although he was slightly weaker, in a battle where the strength of both sides was extremely close, the outcome was not determined by strength alone.

Rhodes, long sword in hand, stared at Heo.

The two exchanged a glance, and the next second, they both vanished.

This time, it was He'ao's turn to attack. He changed his move and swung his sword at Rhodes, but Rhodes blocked it with his own blade.

The swords clashed, and with a crisp clang, Heo's attack was parried by Rhodes, who also took a half-step back.

Rhodes then took a step forward and slashed vertically at the face of Heo, who was still not on his feet. Heo blocked the slash with his sword. Using the force of the rebounding blade, Rhodes immediately changed his move and slashed horizontally at Heo's side waist. Heo blocked the slash again with his sword.

The blade and the dagger collided.

The two looked up at each other, then separated again.

However, this time the two did not completely separate. They each took half a step back, their swords and knives held together, their center of gravity lowered, ready to gather strength.

The swords clasped together made a hissing sound as they rubbed against each other.

With a sudden burst of strength, Heo deflected Rhodes's longsword and lunged forward to stab Rhodes in the heart.

Rhodes also dodged to the side, his longsword aimed at the Shadowless Sword.

The phantoms of swords and knives collided in the air. After several exchanges, the two shifted their positions, turned their backs to each other, and stood in the places where the other had stood.

Immediately afterward, Heo turned around and slashed at Rhodes.

Rhodes turned and jumped back, dodging Heo's attack while simultaneously slashing Heo in the back with his sword.

boom--

He Ao blocked the attack with his sword, but the forward-sloping blade still sliced ​​through his clothes and tore his skin, the red glow of blood soaking into the black longsword.

Under the impact of Rhodes' attack, he staggered forward a few steps, turned around, raised the Shadowless Sword, and looked at Rhodes.

An invisible force seeped into his body along the black longsword, eroding his flesh and blood.

The once transparent and clear glass curtain walls are now covered with fine cracks and have turned mottled white.

This was shattered by the aura dissipated during their battle.

Although both of them had extremely strong control over their power, the mere aura they emitted was enough to cause devastating damage to these glass curtain walls.

Rhodes stood still, not giving chase. He raised his knife, glanced at the blood slowly dripping down the black blade, then looked at Heo.

“I take back what I just said. Your body is indeed weak. If this is all you are, then I think the puppeteer is too foolish.”

He raised his knife, took a step forward, and the blade sliced ​​through the air, creating a piercing sonic boom.

boom--

The knife and the sword clashed once again.

Despite his injuries, He Ao's strength remained undiminished. Through constant battles, he had become increasingly adept at manipulating the energy within his body. At this moment, he began to adjust and mobilize his energy according to the patterns he had already figured out.

In an instant

The swords clashed several more times.

Rhodes's attack was fierce, and within a few moves, he had already approached Heo's neck.
