Chapter 40 A Beautiful Nightmare
The progress is not going well.
If the evil spirits on the first floor are just low-level monsters, then the dead on the second floor are even more difficult to deal with. Although they are dead, they still have the instinctive understanding of combat skills. The rotten ** is quite fragile, but it is still more than enough to resist the positive energy attack that has not yet formed in half the tone. So soon under the siege of the dead, Rhode and Lige had to adjust back to the most orthodox battle formation. Rhode and the Flame Killer resisted the monsters in front, while the girl who followed behind returned to her original position and began to apply shields and expel toxins to Rhode, without considering a guest appearance as an output.
It's coming soon.
After looking at the decorations on the wall and comparing them with his memories, Rhode once again swung his sword and tore the deceased's defense. He saw light blades flying from above, circling and dancing, and mercilessly piercing into the corpses that had long been rotten and should have returned to dust, but continued to move under the influence of magic. A huge wave of air burst out, sweeping the fragments of the remaining limbs and bringing them to the other end of the dark corridor.
The more he moved forward, the more angry Lijie became.
The dead who blocked them were not just those mercenaries, but also some looked like servants and even children. They were all victims who had disappeared in this haunted house. However, under the control of the evil magic, they were forced to be awakened from their due sleep and become evil accomplices.
"What kind of evil is it that brings such great harm?"
Lijie held her hands tightly and murmured to herself.
"What kind of evil can bring harm."
Rhode waved his long sword and at the same time directed the flame killer who was "resurrected" again to spit out flames at the undead in front of him, and replied casually.
"But, this is too much!"
"The power originally varies from person to person."
Wearing a torn maid's long skirt, the undead, could vaguely see her face, opened her mouth wide and pounced on her wailingly, but before she could catch Rhode's clothes, the light of the star scar had pierced the other party's forehead.
“The results never change because of motivation.”
Drawing out the long sword and chopping away another rotten corpse that was trying to get close to him. Rhode raised his eyebrows.
“So when you make a decision, you have to face the results it brings.”
"Why?"
Hearing this, Lijie was stunned. She didn't know why Rhode suddenly said such words, but before she could ask, she suddenly felt cold behind her back. Then, a heavy object fell from the sky and grabbed Lijie's body tightly.
"ah!!"
The severe pain made the girl scream. She subconsciously turned her head, but immediately became stiff all over.
At this moment, behind her, a child who seemed to be only two or three years old was crawling there, with purple-black skin, empty and dark eye sockets, and there were only rotten and shriveled pieces of meat in his open mouth. Its two small hands tightly clamped the girl's shoulders like iron pliers. Seeing Lijie turn around, it suddenly moved forward and pounced on the girl's neck. At this moment, a white light waved, and the sword blade in Rhode's hand cut off the big head mercilessly. Then, the little hand that was originally clutching the girl's body was separated, and the body that had lost its head fell to the ground, then turned into dust and disappeared into the gap on the floor.
“—————”
Lijie stared at the ground blankly, not coming to her senses for a long time until Rhode's voice rang out from her ears.
"Be careful."
"Ah, yes!"
It was not until this time that Lijie felt the pain in her shoulders. She gritted her teeth and cast a toxin on her, and then re-cast the shield again. She felt much better. It was not until this time that the girl realized something was wrong. She raised her head in surprise and found that there was no obstacle ahead. Most of the corpses who had besieged the two of them were now lying on the ground, turning into dust and sand with the faint sound of the wind.
"This is…………"
"It seems that the other party knows that there is no way to deal with us, so he starts to think of a new trick."
Rhode put down the sword in his hand, then he turned around, looked at Lijie's shoulder, and frowned.
"How is the injury?"
"It's fine, it's not too deep."
Standing up, Lijie replied in a low voice. The shock that the scene just now gave her was too amazing. The girl still had no way to recover.
"let me see."
There were no enemies around him, so Rhode signaled the Flame Killer to be responsible for the warning. Then he walked to Lijie's side and squatted down and said to her.
"No, it's okay."
Hearing this sentence, Lijie immediately became a little panicked. She subconsciously pressed her shoulders and shook her head.
"let me see."
Looking at the expression on Lijie's face, Rhode did not change anything, but just repeated it calmly.
“……………………………”
Lijie was silent for a moment, but finally let go of her hand.
On the white robe, ten small blood-stained holes were shocking, and blood slowly oozed out from it, dyeing red.
Rhode squatted down, grabbed Lijie's robe, and then tore it hard.
On the snow-white shoulders, bloody and bloody.
"Have you driven out the toxins?"
"Yes, there should be no problem."
"That's good."
Rhode nodded, and said nothing more. Then he reached out to take out the kettle around his waist and began to clean the wound.
“———!!”
A severe pain came, and Lijie gasped. She raised her head and looked at Rhode who was focusing on cleaning and exploding her wounds for her, but her heart was extremely complicated.
"Mr. Rhode..."
"Um?"
"This... I'm so sorry just now, I was distracted..."
"Don't apologize to me, it's not me who was injured."
"Well…………"
Hearing this, Lijie was stunned for a moment, and then she burst out laughing.
"Yes, sorry, I..."
"I said, don't apologize to me."
"Ah, OK, right..."
Lijie finally found the problem herself, and she smiled and stopped talking. She just looked at the man in front of her quietly.
What kind of person is he?
Lijie asked herself that she could not find the answer to this question. Before she became a mercenary, she had seen many people, and after becoming a mercenary, she saw more men. But she had never seen a person like Rhode. He was only a few years older than him, but she was calm and steady than many people who had been rolling on the edge of the knife for the rest of her life. And she was full of absolute confidence. He never doubted what he said, and sometimes he was a little domineering, but why did she trust him so much? Of course, this man is not good at everything. He usually doesn't laugh, which is boring...
"alright."
Rhode's words made Lijie come back to her senses, and she realized that her injuries had been bandaged at some point.
"When you move, are there any problems?"
"Not much problem, if it wasn't a violent move..."
As a spiritual master, Lijie certainly knows how to regulate her physical condition. If it weren't for the difficult position of the injury, she wouldn't have let Rhode help her.
"very good."
Rhode nodded and then stood up.
"Be prepared, we keep moving forward, not much time wasted."
After the crazy battle before, the undead seemed to have noticed Rhode's power and stopped appearing. Along the way, they returned to their previous calm. But both of them knew that the storm was gradually condensed. Rhode relied on mission experience, while Lijie relied on the feeling of an angel. Soon, they came to a gate. This was the only intact, clean and tidy place in the entire mansion. It was also because the dust, garbage and spider webs around it looked even more weird. Only Rhode knew that this was the creation room of the art master of the Serell family, and it was also the beginning of everything.
“It’s inside.”
Lijie subconsciously swallowed, feeling her shoulders start to numb again, and the evil that emerged from the gap in the door almost suffocated her. For the girl, for the first time in her life, she realized that the word "evil" could be embodied.
Rhodes pushed open the door.
The scene inside made the two of them subconsciously hold their breath.
If you use one word to describe it, then how do you describe the scene in front of you?
Evil? Dirt? Dirty?
None of them.
The first feeling this room gives people is holiness.
Pure white covers the entire room, with gorgeous stone pillars supporting the dome, and the light of the moon shines from the circular void in the center of the ceiling, bringing a dreamlike beauty. And in the center of the light, a stone statue stands quietly.
That was a woman.
Her body is full of energy, her hands are wrapped around her, and her long hair is draped over her shoulders. Her delicate face, delicate facial features, and her beautiful smile mixed with a playful smile are all fascinating. Anyone who sees her for the first time will not hesitate to think that this is the most beautiful work of art in the world, no doubt.
“So beautiful…”
Even Lijie couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, the evil aura and the strange undead creature seemed to be thrown behind her. She subconsciously walked forward, trying to see the sculpture up close, but Rhode quickly looked at her shoulder.
"ah."
The moment she was pulled, Lijie was still a little confused, but she quickly shivered and woke up. At the same time, Rhode whistled and pointed straight forward. The Flame Killer who received the order roared into the room without any hesitation, stretched out his fangs and claws at the almost flawless sculpture.
But the black hound was unable to achieve its goal.
"Swish!!"
Several slender arms suddenly appeared from the walls and floors, grabbing the body and limbs of the Flame Killer tightly.
"Aowoo!!"
The black hunting dog struggled hard in the air. It tried to turn around and bite the arms that bound its body. But before it could move, it grabbed the arms of the black hunting dog tightly and quickly recycled it, tearing it to pieces. Just as the flame killer was torn to pieces, the self-violence attribute was activated again!
"boom!!!"
The rushing flames suddenly spread in the room, and at the same time, a sharp and shrill cry rose from the ground!
