Chapter 195 Painful ordeal
The white light flashed again, and with the space being lifted, everyone returned to the real world
But at this moment, they couldn't stand up at all.//**//
"Haa...ha..."
Lando lay on the floor on his back, looking at the ceiling in front of him, gasping for breath, his face was covered with sweat beads, and now Lando's body felt as if it had fallen apart. Not only that, he also felt deeply tired, not only the best, but also the mental fatigue. In the battle with the other party, Lando did not occupy any advantage. Not only that, he was restrained by the other party almost step by step. Although in space, the strength level of both sides was definitely at the same level, that is, that person and Lando themselves were almost the same, but Lando couldn't beat him. No matter how hard he struggled, there was no effect in front of the other party. This made the young Ranger feel deeply frustrated. His eyes were dull and he didn't even know what to do.
Joey sat down on the ground, wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, his face was gloomy, and he muttered something in his mouth, as if he was thinking about something or regretting something, but no one could hear clearly what he said.
Annie leaned against the wall, and the golden shield that she had never left was thrown away by her. Now the girl just closed her eyes and gasped. She didn't even have time to reminisce about the battle, and restoring her physical strength became Annie's most important task at present.
Marlene knelt on the ground, gritting her teeth, clenched her fists, and her body trembled. I don’t know if it was because of excessive force or because she had to bear the blow of failure. Beside her, Lijie looked confused. She almost didn’t know what to do or what to do. She could only stand there blankly, thinking about nothing or doing nothing.
In that space, everyone encountered unprecedented failures. Although the other party's level was indeed suppressed on the same level as they were, they could not even see a little hope of victory. Even with the same skills, they failed completely and had no room for excuse.
"If you feel it can't stand it, you can choose to quit."
“……………………… I’m really surprised, Mr. Rod……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Marlene sat down on the ground, took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped the sweat beads from her forehead, then raised her head to look at Rhode next to her. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise.
"Who are they? I have never heard of the lady's skills before. But I am so clever and powerful. I am called a genius... But in my opinion, the lady is the real genius. What is her name? Why have I never heard of such a person in the Mage Society?"
No wonder Marin asked so anxiously at this moment, because in the competition with the girl, Marin did not pay much attention to it at the beginning. Perhaps because the girl's friendly smile reduced her threat level, making Marin not regard her as a particularly powerful enemy.
But after the real fight, Marlene finally discovered the real strength hidden under the face of the girl's gentle kitten. Under the girl's storm-like attack, Marlene was killed directly without even a chance to counterattack. The first time Marlene felt that she underestimated the enemy too much, but when she fought with a twelve-point spirit to focus on the battle, the situation still did not change. No matter how much preparation she made in advance, as long as the girl took action, Marlene was immediately instantly without the slightest power to fight back.
During this period, she couldn't even make a slight counterattack, and could only watch herself in the waves of magic. This experience was not without Marlin, but it was all in the hands of the ** master. They were very powerful and used more magic. But this girl had nothing special, and unlike Marlin. She only specialized in the elements of wind and fire, and she could use much less spells than Marlin. But even so, Marlin could not get any advantage.
"I...I, too..."
Lijie replied tremblingly. She had never thought that a spirit master would have such a strong combat power. The girl looked several years younger than her. However, the stormy attack when she took action made Lijie even mistakenly think that she was not facing a spirit master, but a mage. She didn't know how that girl did it. Lijie had learned in the church, but in her opinion, even the bishops in the church did not have such terrible combat power.
Anne was also not much better. Although her strength may be greater than the other party due to her bloodline, her ending was not better than Lijie and Marlene. The fighting skills used by the other party exceeded Anne's imagination. She could not understand why a shield warrior could launch an attack so crazy and fast with attack methods similar to swordsman. Moreover, even if it was the same pure gold shield, it was unpredictable in the hands of that woman. Anne thought she was already familiar with the weapons in her hand, but now she realized that she had a very limited understanding of the pure gold shield.
However, compared with them, Lando and Joey seem to have stronger ability to resist strikes. No wonder, Anne and Lijie are both trained adventurers, and Marlene is also a genius of the Magic Academy. They have both accumulated countless experience and confidence, but Lando and Joey are just recruits, and their opponents have beaten them like this. At most, these two people are just thinking, "Those strong people are really amazing!" and will not think like Marlene and others who have understood their strength, "How can they be so strong?"
"They are my comrades and companions."
Faced with Marlene's inquiry, Rhodes answered, and then he paused.
“Once was.”
"once?"
When Marlin heard this word, she was stunned.
"That's right."
Rhode nodded slightly.
"Now they are no longer in this world."
This sentence is not Rhodes talking nonsense. From an objective perspective, they are indeed not in this world.
"We went to the depths of the east before, went for adventure, and then had a little accident when we reached the end... They all left the world, and I stayed here. As for your opponent, I don't think it's surprising that you haven't heard her name, because she hasn't registered with the Mage Society. In your words, she's just a wild mage."
Rhodes's words are still not true or false. Although he said nothing wrong, these are all things that happened in the game world, so he naturally would not tell Marlene. Anyway, things themselves are not fake, right?
"adventure?"
Hearing this, Marin frowned. She was very smart, so she could easily infer their true strength from the performance of these people. Even being suppressed to the same level as her can have overwhelming performance. Then these people should have very strong strength. How could they die in the adventure? However, Rhode's answer later made Marin feel even more unbelievable. Such a powerful mage is actually a wild mage who has not received systematic magic education? How is this possible? Can a wild mage have such powerful power? Who is the genius?
"Mr. Rod, you are going to..."
"The deepest maze."
Rhodes said the name of the Void Dragon Copy in an understatement, but this answer made everyone gasp.
As we all know, among the several major forbidden zones in the Dragon Soul Continent, the deepest maze ranks first, and no one is allowed to enter or exit there, and almost no one who enters or exits alive. Even the famous strong men on the continent dare not go there to explore and adventure, and Rhodes and the others dare to enter. Just this, they are already more brave than many people with the name of brave people.
But Lijie was suddenly enlightened at this moment. She finally understood why Rhode was injured.
Although Rhodes didn't say much, their guess was automatically supplemented in everyone's minds. This group of young adventurers with strong strength went to challenge the "deepest maze" because of their confidence in their own strength. Then they failed, only Rhodes left alive, while others died in battle. This guess was very reliable in Marlene's opinion. Just by relying on the power they just showed, if their original strength was stronger, then any of these people could become a strong man on the side. With such powerful strength and confidence, it is not surprising that they chose to take the most dangerous adventure.
But at the same time, Marin felt a little regretful in her heart. If these people were still alive, in time, they would definitely become a new legend on this continent...
If Marlene was still wondering how Rhodes had such powerful power in the past, then she was not surprised at all now. That space could only restore the other party's memory, so these people must have real existence in Rhodes' mind, not what he imagined. Being able to lead such a group of strong men to challenge the most dangerous forbidden zone and eventually be able to come out alive, Marlene has no doubt about Rhodes' power at all.
Not to mention, there is also an argument in her heart that supports this view.
But... compared with them, I am really much worse.
When the girls thought of this, they felt a little depressed. Whether it was Marlene, Lijie or Anne, they all thought they could follow Rhodes and help him. But it doesn't seem like this now. Compared with Rhodes' former companions, they were simply useless, which made them feel very unwilling to accept it. Although Rhodes never complained about this, they would not ignore this reality because of this - their strength is still far from being able to fight with Rhodes.
In fact, this is almost the same. In general adventures, Rhodes rarely chooses to fight with them. Most of the time he chooses to order them. However, when encountering the most powerful danger, Rhodes prefers to fight alone to challenge alone. Now it seems that it is obvious that he thinks his strength is not enough to help him at the most dangerous time.
Rhodes did not deny this idea. At this moment, he was standing by, observing the expressions of the people. He knew that his requirements were a bit harsh for these people. Not to mention that they were players, they were also among the ten most outstanding subordinates in the Rhodes Starlight Mercenary Group. Each of them had the ability to single-sixth level dungeons. Any boss below the second level poses no threat to them. Even in PK, they far surpassed other players. In the last three years of the world's official competition, the top ten people from one to six were all from the Starlight Guild, and every competition for the championship was basically an infighting by the guild, and these five people were strong contenders. The player guild led by Rhodes was so absolute that it had never been threatened by anyone.
Faced with these elites who are also among the elites among the players, it is really a bit far away for the indigenous people in the game world. To put it bluntly, even if the other party is naked and does not wear equipment to fight them, it is considered that these indigenous people are very powerful if they can hit a single hair.
Of course, Rhode knew what kind of stimulation and blow this would bring to his subordinates, but he still chose to wait and see. After all, in future battles, it is necessary to endure failures, strong stress resistance and psychological endurance. They must be able to experience these failures and accept them to become stronger. Moreover, although they are not players, Rhode believes that they can also learn something. Although talent trees and skill points cannot exist, skills and consciousness can be learned. This is the most important part, just like Rhode, although he has practiced from scratch now and does not have the previous magical equipment and props, he can still kill here with the skills and consciousness he has trained. Now it depends on whether they have such ability and persistence.
"I'll say it again, if you feel you can't bear it, you can choose to quit."
Rhode repeated his words, but the five people looked at each other and finally shook their heads.
"I...I think I can stick with it, Mr. Rhode."
Marlene gritted her teeth and stood up.
"That lady is indeed very powerful, but isn't this exactly what I need? Please don't forget why I came here."
"Me, so do I..."
Lijie raised her hand.
"I'm not afraid of such a test, Mr. Rod, I can just hold on."
"Anne won't give up either."
Annie clenched her fists and waved them hard, and a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes.
"Annie has never encountered such a powerful opponent before, how can she choose to give up?"
"We are, the leader."
Lando and Joey also stood up and answered.
"very good."
Rhode nodded when he heard everyone's answer.
"Then starting from tomorrow, you must be ready for special training."
Then he spoke.
