Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

【Holy Light Dragon God Slash LV.1】

Negative effects: When you activate this skill, your health will be automatically reduced by 80%, and your maximum health will decrease by 10% over 24 hours.

Positive effect: You can create a powerful [divine] attack that surpasses the limits of physics. This attack deals physical damage equal to 150% of your value and inflicts a mental trauma effect equal to 150% of your value.

Rhodes wasn't afraid of losing 80% of his health, because his recovery rate was 1.5% per second. In other words, he could recover from this level of injury in at most a minute.

The only problem is that the weakness effect, which reduces maximum health by 10%, can be a bit troublesome.

Rhodes really wanted to try it out, to test this combo skill that could traverse all of space and instantly kill fourteen enemies—

Of course, leaving one alive was necessary... so Dolorana, who was kneeling on the ground and did not attack, became the only one to be pardoned;

When Rhodes's killing intent locked onto all the witches, they naturally felt themselves being targeted by something terrifying, as if it were perched on their shoulders, ready to reap them.

The problem is that this vague feeling makes it impossible for them to find the source of the attack, which causes panic to arise.

Hearts pounded, and the one who felt the threat most intensely and whose heart beat the fastest was naturally the Flame Witch who had just drawn her sword.

Her pupils widened as she watched Rhodes draw his elven dragon sword and charge at her. She wanted to resist, but her legs and arms were too weak to move.

why?

This speed isn't fast at all; it's just the level of someone who has leveled up five times. She could withstand it; she could avoid being killed!

But now she is like a lamb to the slaughter, unable to do anything. Why is that?

Her panic subsided, and at that moment she met Dolorana's gaze, who had just knelt down...

The same panic, the same disarray.

It's like two wild cats, both of them suppressed here...

The only difference is that she will die before Dolorana;

Because the longsword had already fallen.

"cut."

Rhodes drew his elven dragon sword instantly, and several golden runes appeared on his body, beginning to burn his skin wildly.

He could feel his 80% health bar rapidly evaporating, and he could also feel the holy light gathering on his hands growing increasingly intense!

Finally, he slashed sharply across the Flame Witch's neck, unleashing a fierce and invincible holy light!

Boom boom boom—!

Like a violent surge of air currents tearing through space, even the carriages that had been motionless just moments before began to sway from side to side in response to this attack.

The train made a sharp, screeching sound as if it were about to derail, and the ground began to shake violently.

But the most crucial element is still the fire witch who was dismembered...

At this moment, her head had already flown off.

Chapter 162 Tears Flowing, Rhodes' First Believer

In that instant, Rhodes's aura became so powerful that even Lilith could not match it.

The severed heads that flew off were not just those of the Flame Witch.

As Rhodes unleashed his sword strike, he also activated a chaotic slash effect, chaining the remaining twelve witches together.

Therefore, with just this one sword strike, a total of thirteen heads rolled to the ground, and blood splattered all around.

The moment the attack power of a fifth-level upgrade, or even a mid-level upgrade, is unleashed, the undefended witches are naturally all killed in an instant.

The Flame Witch was alright, but the heads of the witches who were hiding in other private rooms suddenly flew off, naturally causing the surrounding nobles to let out loud screams.

"Someone's dead! Someone's dead...!"

Fortunately, after the witch died completely, the demonic seed [resentment] in her body would naturally spread out, and her body would quickly decompose. Therefore, the screams didn't last long before most people realized that those who had lost their heads were all witches!

"What...? What's going on?"

While they stood there dumbfounded, some of the more astute and powerful nobles narrowed their eyes and instantly guessed that it was the people in the carriage where the conflict had occurred who had done it.

The people in the other carriages, of course, did not know that the person who started the conflict was named Rhodes, but at least after hearing the commotion, they all knew through their interesting mental detection that a witch had been discovered and a conflict had occurred.

And in the very instant the conflict erupted, these witches died simultaneously... The implications are self-evident.

Nine times out of ten, it was the man who spoke who did it.

"Isolating space, ignoring distance, and directly killing the witch—no matter what kind of ascended fragment witch she was, she couldn't possibly do that..."

Everyone in the other carriages was so surprised that they kept their mouths shut.

Because it's terrible.

Even ordinary saints have never seen anyone so easily lock onto every person within a domain, and kill someone without a trace, ignoring all conditions and without releasing a large amount of power.

Rod, of course, had no idea what others thought.

All he understands now is that by instantly killing two experts who had been promoted five times and eleven experts who had been promoted four times, his attribute points have been greatly increased, bringing him one step closer to touching the crown.

At this moment, the energy within his body was surging rapidly, and his muscles were swelling and congested with blood.

All the demonic energy transformed into pure, potent energy that merged into his body. This time, something even changed – the resentment within them also surged forth.

But this time was quite special. It seemed that the evolved [Outer God] had become more powerful. This time, Rhodes not only did not feel a burning sensation in his body, but it was as if he was soaking in a hot spring, with his whole body filled with warm water. As a result, the 80% loss deducted from using the skill was completely restored in that instant.

You have successfully hunted a large number of witches.

[You have received pure energy, and a great deal of resentment.]

Your attribute values ​​have increased significantly.

[Rhodes]

[Upgrade Level: Four times]

"call--"

The burning blood in Rhodes's body made his breathing heavy and powerful, but this time he was quickly suppressing it.

Because most of the resentment is also merging into his body and being absorbed and digested by the Thorn Crown.

All right.

Now his attribute values ​​have finally officially entered the level where all four dimensions have reached four digits.

Or rather—it's at the point where it's only a tiny bit away from being upgraded five times, and it's just a matter of time before it breaks through.

A rough calculation shows that if he were to unleash that [Holy Light Dragon God Slash] again, his power would increase by at least one-fifth.

"good."

Rhodes simply uttered those two words, then turned his gaze back to reality, looking down at Dolorana, the only surviving witch who had been promoted five times, still kneeling on the ground.

"Your teammates are all dead."

Rhodes's steps were light and slow, but with each step he took closer to her, each step he took toward the seat, Dolorana felt her breath becoming increasingly suffocated.

She could only quickly continue to bend over, her posture changing from one of staring at the Flame Witch to one of devout kneeling in worship.

At this moment, her elegant, fish-like back curves appeared exquisite and alluring under her completely soaked maid outfit, but the twitching of her thighs revealed her fear most clearly.

Of course she knew that all her teammates were dead.

Not a trace remained.

Although that's not entirely accurate either.

After all, she still had two traitors sitting behind her—Sheila and Mira—so she could still sense the presence of her kind.

"call……"

She was panting heavily, only to feel Rhodes return to his original seat, calmly sit down, calmly... completely ignoring her.

"Lilith, activate spatial isolation."

"Ok?"

Lilith's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting Rhodes, who was still executing the witch, to suddenly speak to her. "Okay."

A faint blue sheen shimmered on their pristine white fingers, and the blue barrier that housed their entire private room reappeared, isolating them from the outside world.

The isolation space instantly plunged both the outside world and the inner world into absolute silence.

While they weren't as terrified as Dolorana, they still didn't dare utter a single word.

Because... that's obviously wrong.

Rod Chivenlance, a soul god, killed twelve demon gods with a single sword strike.

What on earth did they see?

Not to mention ordinary nobles, even Elenora gripped her longsword tightly and fell into deep thought.

"If it were me, could I withstand this kind of invisible, targeted attack?"

……

……

In an isolated space.

"Actually, I originally planned to kill you first, because you were so scared that you couldn't say anything."

“But she came out first, so naturally I have to deal with her first.”
