Chapter 41: Absolute Kill

  "Ahhhhh!!!!!!"

  Accompanied by a shrill whistle that seemed to come from hundreds of people at the same time, the originally pure white ground began to split and shake. It wasn't until then that Lijie was shocked to discover that the white that filled the entire room wasn't stone slabs, but rather blocks of white bones! They were tightly joined together, covering the ground without any gaps, making it seem like ordinary stone at first glance. Thinking about this, Lijie couldn't help but feel a chill run down her back. She could imagine what would have happened if she had walked into the room unguarded. Looking at the sea of white bones that were now writhing before her eyes, Lijie couldn't help but shoot a surprised glance at Rode by her side - how did he know?

  He noticed the girl's surprised gaze, but Rode didn't make any further explanation. He couldn't say it was because he had died here once before, after all...

  And now is not the time to consider such things either.

  "Lily, get ready to attack, go all out."

  The white bone sea has retreated, revealing the dark and dirty stone floor below. The atmosphere of the entire room has undergone a tremendous change, and the originally beautiful scene like a dream finally tore off its veil, revealing its ferocious face. And the only thing that makes people feel discordant is that stone statue, which is still so beautiful and holy, as if it came out of the mud without being stained.

  But Rude didn't have the leisure to appreciate this beautiful disaster at the moment. After giving orders to Liche, he rushed into the room, and at the same time, the bright red card reappeared from Rude's hand, transforming into a red lotus flame that surrounded his body.

  “———！！！”

  Dozens of arms made of white bones reached out to grab Luo De, but they were scorched by the flames and retreated before they could even get close to him - although summoning spirits wouldn't truly die, the pain from being torn apart earlier didn't hinder Lie Yan Sha Shou's ability to express his anger.

  Unfortunately, the black hound was once again unable to do anything before being sent out by Rode. The attack of the White Bone Sea was not very threatening, but it had a large number of troops, and at present, Rode did not have any large-scale attack spells in his hand, and Lige's positive energy could only cause a little damage to the enemy. Although steady progress was also a good choice, this would increase the time and power consumption exponentially.

  So Rod decided to emulate the tactics of the dare-to-die squad and directly use Lianyan Shashou as a human bomb.

  The poor black hound, though reluctant in heart, could only helplessly rush forward. Rod helped it block the arms that came from all directions once again, not out of kindness, but purely to make it go deeper.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, the numerous white bony arms soon forced Rode into a defensive position. Facing those sharp claws trying to grab him, Rode quickly retreated and threw his summoned spirit forward. Those brainless things seemed to have no idea what was wrong and soon dozens of more arms flew out from the sea of bones, tightly grasping the black hound and dragging it in.

  BOOM!!!

  Soon, a violent explosion sounded again, and the White Bone Sea shook violently. Hundreds of thousands of fragments flew out from it, like a sky full of flowers flying and fluttering, falling to the ground like snowflakes.

  Luo De's palm flipped over quickly, and the bright red card appeared once again.

  Fortunately, the summoned spirit did not have the possibility of rebelling, otherwise, looking at it again emerging from the flames, but without its previous ferocious appearance, the poor black hound gazed at Rode with an extremely resentful gaze, believing that if it were not for the contract's restraint, this poor "Wind Brave Death Squad Member" would immediately turn around and run as far as possible, abandoning its owner here without a care.

  Unfortunately, Rhodes completely ignored the "resentment" of the black hound, he just whistled and signaled to Flame Killer to continue charging forward.

  Then, the battle resumes.

  The brainless undead, of course, would not understand why the things they killed would appear again and again. Facing the black hounds that kept pouncing on them, they ruthlessly tore it apart time and time again, at the cost of withstanding explosion after explosion - the Flame Reaper's self-destruction was not so easy to resist. After several rounds, the White Bone Sea had already lost a third of its forces, and they began to subconsciously roll up and condense, wanting to fill in the suddenly appearing gap. However, they completely failed to notice that Rode, who was originally wandering behind, had quietly approached them at this moment.

  As Rod, who had already completed a task, he was very clear about the problem with this guy in front of him. Those white bony seas that seemed to be full of lethal power were just an illusion, and the real mastermind behind the scenes was actually the one being surrounded by them at this moment, that seemingly sacred and inviolable sculpture.

  "Rise up, shield!"

  The cards in his hand were really limited, but this didn't stop Rode. He quickly made a decision and gave orders to the girl standing behind him.

  Soon, a thin golden barrier enveloped Rode's body, and this time, facing the white bony arm that pounced on him again, Rode finally did not choose to retreat, but instead, he grasped his long sword and went forward.

  As the sword light flashed by, the white bony claws that were closing in on Rode shattered and dispersed. In this brief moment of emptiness, Rode's figure flickered and transformed into a shadowy silhouette that leapt up and away.

  The activation of Shadow Flash instantly boosted Rod's speed by several times, but it didn't reduce the danger he faced. As monsters that relied on numbers to win, speed wasn't a problem they couldn't handle. Soon, countless arms stretched out from the ocean again, grabbing towards Rod. The sharp finger bones scratched against the golden barrier, producing an ear-piercing sound. However, these arms quickly retreated as if they had touched a scorching hot stove, letting out low, mournful wails.

  Lijie took action.

  She raised her hands high, and a burst of positive energy beams descended from the sky, shattering the white bony arms that tried to block Rod's path. For a moment, fragments of bones flew everywhere.

  Although this was not a formal positive energy attack spell, the half-angel bloodline in Lijie's body made up for the lack of color, and the white bone sea that was like being burned by fire and oil began to tremble. The sharp cries filled with anger rose and fell one after another. Soon, a "stream" composed of white bones spread out from the side and quickly rushed towards the door.

  At this moment, Rode's body began to fall.

  He's not an angel after all, Shadow Flash can accelerate to the limit in an instant, but still has time constraints, let alone gravity isn't something you can just eat for free - it's clear that Uncle Newton is very dissatisfied with Rhode's attempt to challenge his authority and plans to use a realistic example to give him an unforgettable lesson.

  Forests of white bones are right in front of him, and Luo De, who has lost his momentum, cannot cross this barrier to reach his goal. If he falls into it, he will definitely be torn to pieces.

  But Rod didn't think so.

  He stretched out his hand and summoned a spell array that appeared in an instant. A cyan-green card spun out.

  Soul Bird.

  The blue spirit bird circled around Luo De, the swirling whirlwind immediately stopped Luo De's falling body, giving him time to catch his breath. He gritted his teeth and leaped forward again.

  It was this pause that gave Rod the space to win. When he jumped up again, he had already reached the top of the sculpture. Looking at the white and smooth stone statue not far below, Rod apologized in his heart, then grasped the long sword and slashed down.

  But things didn't go as smoothly as Rodd had imagined.

  "Whoosh!!"

  Just as Rode swung his sword down, dozens of bone spurs suddenly shot out from below and flew straight at the young swordsman in mid-air. However, a pair of wings that had been folded together suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking Rode's path.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

  A dull crashing sound, the wings that were suffering from bone spurs began to flicker, and the radiant feathers fell off from above, slowly floating in the air, which actually added a few points of beauty. And just at this moment, Rode's long sword was less than a meter away from the sculpture.

  "Ahh!!!"

  A gust of wind suddenly appeared.

  Rode only felt a black shadow flash across the corner of his eye, and then a massive impact came from the side, causing him to lose balance and be knocked flying out. He crashed into the wall on one side. Seeing this scene, Lijie beside him was shocked and lost color. She took two steps forward, trying to help Rode, but the sharp bone spurs and arms came again, forcing the girl to retreat back to her original position.

  "Mr. Luo De!"

  "Uggghhh..."

  Luo De let out a low grunt and leaned against the wall to stand up, he felt his whole body aching all over, his feet stepped on the ground but it was as if he was stepping on some soft cotton, unable to distinguish his center of gravity. Just then, the wind started again.

  It was almost as if relying on his seven years of gaming instincts, Roder dodged to the side, barely avoiding the sharp object that came with the wind, and only then did he see its true face.

  That was a long, bony tail that rose high and coiled around the statue like a venomous snake. After two consecutive misses, it became much more cautious. It quickly retracted and curled up into a ball, with only the sharp bone spur at the end still raised high in front, like a venomous snake waiting for the best moment to strike.

  Five meters.

  Roder thought for a moment and soon had an idea.

  Just then, the other side seemed to have no more patience for this intruder who had entered their forbidden zone. The originally gathered and condensed White Bone Sea suddenly rose high, like a wave of waves, pouncing on Rod, who was tightly pressed against the wall. In just an instant, the white torrent was like a burst of floodwater, completely engulfing that corner.

  "Mr. Luo De!"

  Taking in the scene before her, Lijie felt a wave of dizziness wash over her and almost fainted. Her mind was a complete blank, with no idea what to do next. Although Lijie also knew this was very dangerous, but along the way Rode's confidence had subconsciously made her think that Rode must have enough ability to cope. And now, the gap between reality and ideal in front of her made Lijie completely stunned on the spot, without even noticing the white bone claws getting closer and closer.

  But it was just for an instant.

  The surging waves suddenly surged up, accompanied by a burst of fragmented and rotating light sword blades flying out. The originally solid cage immediately became shaky. In the face of the prey's struggle, the White Bone Sea only let out another angry roar, then pounced forward again, trying to completely eliminate this unstable element once and for all.

  But this time they failed.

  A white wave was split in two, a strong whirlwind swept around the scattered debris, whizzing past, and tore out a shocking crack. And Rod, who was in it, held up his long sword, on the tip of which a dazzling starlight was flashing.

  Luo De took a step forward and swung his right hand over his head towards the front.

  A gleaming white sword blade flashed out.

  As if sensing danger, the sharp whistling sea of white bones advanced instead of retreating, layer upon layer of bone walls piled up high, bringing a "whooshing" sound as they charged towards Rode. And that long, thin tailbone suddenly whipped out, its sharp tip stabbing straight at Rode's face.

  Rod lowered his hand and slightly tilted his head.

  "Hiss."

  The cold and icy sharp bone spur once again brushed past him, but this time it would never have the chance to make up for its mistake.

  At that very moment, those surging waves of white bone fragments seemed to have been shattered like a child's building blocks, crashing down and scattering in all directions. Under the force of the impact, they advanced another two meters forward before finally coming to a harmless stop at Rode's feet.

  Roder lifted his head and looked in the direction of the bone spur, only to see that the sharp blade was deeply embedded in the beautiful sculpture that had been hidden behind.

  Soon, spiderweb-like cracks began to spread. At the same time, a system prompt floated in front of Luo De's eyes.

  [Checkpoint opened]

  "Ah."

  Along with this faint sound, the bone spurs that had grown deep into Rode's cheekbone also crumbled and disintegrated.
