Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

"Since it's chaotic, then we don't need to worry about anything."

"I'll prioritize defeating the enemy in front of me first, since defeating him will give me a divine relic that has been upgraded four times to a higher level, which I can then fuse with."

Rhodes stared at the [Soul Hero] that was beginning to coalesce in front of him.

In that instant, the space automatically summoned a powerful being who had undergone four ascensions from ancient times.

A small, boyish body began to form from points of light, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a wooden stick appeared.

His body was pure white, and even the clothes he wore were spotless white, as clean and bright as if there were no dust.

The boy looked to be only about fourteen years old, with a height of only 1.6 meters and a slender build.

But the moment he opened his eyes, Rhodes sensed a powerful soul aura—

Yes, it's very strong.

Moreover, his eyes, like Rhodes', were a deep, brilliant purple amethyst, meaning that this powerful being of the Soul God Seed was also royalty.

That's why Rod would never be careless.

After all, the royal family of the Soul God Seed must possess quite high inherited skills.

"Is he a senior?" Rhodes gently raised his longsword, but it wasn't exactly a gesture of reverence.

After all, the boy in front of them died at the age of sixteen and left behind divine remains, so he must have no descendants.

So Rod doesn't need to worry about things like killing his great-great-great-grandfather.

“Young man.” The boy’s clear voice rang out, his purple eyes blinking slightly, “It is you who has come to obtain my power.”

"Although it was a lucky accident, please, anyway," Rod greeted the senior colleague politely.

After all, the royal family died so young... who knows if they were driven mad or died for their country.

If it's the latter, then not showing any respect would be a bit like being an animal.

“My name is Lawns Chivenlance.”

"Rod Chivenlance."

"okay."

Without saying much, Lawns simply extended his hand, like a gloomy little boy.

Suddenly, the stick-like object burst forth with a dazzling golden light and shot through like an infinitely extending beam of light!

Like scorching sunlight, it baked the ground while directly facing Rhodes!

The beam of light then split into countless small diamond-shaped blocks beside Lawns, and then traveled through them!

It flickered like a sacred, legendary array, unleashing boundless energy.

Rhodes' pupils narrowed.

"Sacred Light of the Soul".

He instantly recognized the skill, which could only be used after six upgrades.

There was a mistake.

This is not someone who died after ascending four times, but a powerful member of the clan who left behind a legacy of ascending four times.

In other words, his appearance was created by himself... What the heck? Is he a shota fetishist? He's obsessed with himself.

However, Rhodes didn't have much time to think, because he had to do his best to withstand the powerful shockwave.

With the elven dragon sword held up like a shield in front of him, Rhodes's steps were as solid as a rock, directly blocking the impact of the converging pillar of light!

"No matter how strong a skill is, it will always be lacking when limited to the power of four upgrades."

Moreover, the Holy Light has no effect on mental damage.

Rhodes' eyes were cold as he activated the power of the Elf Dragon Sword, directly unleashing a burst of light!

At the same time, [Soul Shock] was activated in an instant.

A torrent of water, like the sound of a great bell, began to spread from between Rhodes's eyebrows and flowed directly toward Launes.

Strangely, although the soul shockwave did indeed strike Launes, Launes did not show the slightest sign of pain.

He remained calm and composed, continuing to swing his long staff, rotating all the beams of light to bombard Rhodes.

"What does it mean?"

It was rare for Rhodes to utter these three words during a battle.

But Launes' nonchalant expression really shocked him.

Rhodes was forced to abandon his offensive opportunity and continue to use the Elf Dragon Sword to defend against the bombardment beam of light.

“My soul has been tormented countless times, so this level… is meaningless,” Lawns said calmly in a neutral voice.

"I see. So, if it's damage to the soul... will it affect you, senior?"

Rhodes narrowed his eyes and instantly activated the skill [Power of Life].

In an instant, countless green plants surged wildly from the ground, and the material, like towering trees, covered the entire space!

Following the trail of vegetation, Rhodes charged directly toward Launes!

A long-absent flicker of emotion appeared in Lawrence's eyes.

"This is... a skill of the Soul God Seed?" he asked, sounding slightly puzzled.

As the first generation of royal family members born into the Soul God lineage, it was impossible for him not to know how many kinds of skills the Soul God could bestow...

This child has mutated?

No, the most crucial thing is what he just said?

Soul damage?

How could someone who has undergone four ascensions possibly have the ability to damage their soul?

A slight surprise arose in the ancestor's heart.

Chapter 120 Advancement, Four Promotions

Gazing at the towering forest, Launes hovered in mid-air, his eyes sparkling with pleasure.

"interesting."

He was genuinely interested in his successor, whose lineage was unknown.

An extremely bizarre skill.

It is absolutely impossible for a Soul God Seed to possess such power, which is something only a God of Life could have.

So how exactly did he manage to control these plants?

Special props, or perhaps... he possesses two divine seeds at the same time?

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Launes felt he was becoming utterly absurd.

Everyone knows that divine seeds can never be merged or coexist.

It's because he's been dead for so long that he dares to think about all sorts of weird things...

That's it.

No matter how strange the situation, he would not go easy on the other party just because they were his juniors.

After all, this young man is worth fighting with all his might!

The base attributes, upgraded three times, are enough to withstand his attack after being upgraded four times. Isn't that incredible?

If Rhodes were to obtain this divine relic, it would likely be enough for him to break through and advance four times, reaching a truly formidable level.

In that instant, he positioned the wooden stick in front of his body and gently closed his eyes.

The divine light, like a shadow, stretched and tore at his body, eventually transforming it into two translucent phantoms.

At that very moment, Rhodes' figure flashed in front of Lawns like lightning, and he witnessed the scene as well—

The elven dragon sword, which was about to strike directly, hovered in the air, but due to this momentary mistake, he stopped moving.

Naturally... when the enemy's target suddenly changes from one to two, it becomes necessary to consider which one is the main body and which one is the clone.

The main reason is that Rhodes doesn't know this move.

Although it's clear that this is a derivative technique of the Divine Light of the Soul, the rest is not very clear.

Ultimately, the skills of the Soul Seed are different for each individual due to their unique characteristics, so it is impossible to guard against them all.

However, Rhodes' figure only hovered in mid-air for half a second before he used the rising tree branches again, his legs springing through them, and he charged like a cannon towards one of Launes' shadows!

Whether one is true or false, we'll only know by testing them.

The Elf Dragon Sword was extremely sharp, but as Rhode's figure moved forward, it was like a beam of intense light piercing straight through him!

call out--!

Launes drew a talisman with a stick, which floated directly in front of him to defend against the attack.

At the same time, his other body began to fly closer to Rhodes, raising a wooden stick to form an array towards Rhodes.

A crisp sound rang out from Launes' defensive rune!

Launes' eyes flashed with surprise again, and he quickly raised the wooden stick to strengthen his defense.

But this was clearly to no avail. As Rhode's power surged, the cracks widened and even began to break apart.

However, in less than a second, his defensive spells were instantly pierced.

At the same time, Rhode frantically mobilized the blood in his muscles, condensing it into an extreme force that erupted forth!

With a whoosh, the longsword pierced through Launes' chest and became lodged firmly inside.

Successful.

But Rhodes did not let his guard down.

Because at that moment, the divine light condensed by the other clone had already rushed over, and the scorching heat hit us!
