Chapter 167: The Guarded Pseudoman
For Marin, she had never expected to lose. This was even more so for Rhodes, but it seemed completely unbelievable to these people who guarded the fire. From the war between Rhodes and the three summoned swordsmen, they had not even surpassed for five minutes in total. Rhodes' overwhelming advantage made them stunned and almost unable to say a word. The awe of the strong made them very respectful when facing Rhodes and his subordinates. Not only did they arrange a place to rest for them, but they also agreed to help Rhodes fight against the Chaos, giving Rhodes enough time to ignite the fire. This can be considered a very good result for Rhodes, but now he seems not satisfied.
"The action is too slow, the reaction is too single, and the routine is simple and unacceptable."
He sat in the chair like this, looking at the three silent summoned swordsmen in front of him with dissatisfaction. Because he was not seriously injured, the other two woke up quickly. As for the last Lord of Hell, he could only raise his hand to surrender when he was approached by Rhodes. However, he was not satisfied with Rhodes. Although he was full of doubts about Christie and Marlene coming along, after arranging their accommodation and rest, Rhodes still found these three "rookies" as soon as possible. No matter what, he finally saw the existence of the same profession as him in this world, and he actually used this technique that new players would disdain to use. Rhodes said that he could no longer bear it.
"It's really a pity that you can break through the legendary boundaries."
Rhode frowned and looked at the three people standing in front of him with a dissatisfaction and a bit of mocking tone. To be precise, it was a man and two women. The man in the lead was the white-haired man who had spoken to Rhode before, and the sister beside him had different expressions at the moment. The sister, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, hugged her body with a blushing face, lowered her head and stared at the ground. The sister next to her, who looked about fourteen or fifteen, angrily raised her cheeks and stared at her. The man next to her was silent. But it can be seen that this failure had a great blow to him.
As the guardian of the fire source, he certainly heard of the legend of the traveler under the starry sky. The sword in the legend will cut off all obstacles. If he is defeated under such powerful force, he will be convinced even if he loses. But the problem is that even if he is mentally prepared, he will be completely unable to accept this failure.
The other party did not show overwhelming power, and he was just like a lion playing with a mouse and was playing around with him. As guardians, the power they possessed was the most proud of, but now, his self-esteem has been completely destroyed and his body has not been completely destroyed, and there is not even a fragment left behind.
At this moment, Rhode also looked at the three people in front of him curiously. Rhode had already learned their identities from Marlene.
Pseudo-man.
Just like on earth, people need to be responsible for high-end technology, but some dangerous and unsuitable parts need to be replaced by robots. No matter which world is in, human thinking is similar. The pseudo-human is the product that appears because of this. They are similar to Belhems. But there are qualitative differences. If the alchemy elves are just "semi-biological humans" created by combining ** and alchemy. Then the pseudo-human completely creates artificial bodies and puts their souls in them and creates an existence that does not know whether it should be called a living body.
Even Rhode himself had to admit that he was decisively shocked when he heard Marlene's story.
It is worthy of being the number one magic craftsman under the Creation Dragon Soul. He created a human-like sacrificial pill and then put his soul in it. This is a matter of reaching the peak that humans can do. Going to the next level is to create souls, which is not the level that humans can touch. Although their souls are humans, unlike humans, although their sacrificial pills have not been enhanced to the point where one punch can destroy the earth or the sun like the Beidou God Fist, it has made great improvements to the threat of chaos. They do not need the protection of order power and can also enter and exit the storm of chaos, and can open the order barrier based on themselves. They are guardians specially created to deal with chaos disasters.
Moreover, it is also the only existence that can "transfer" to summon swordsmen.
Although Rhode expressed his sincere admiration and gratitude for their long-lasting protection of the fire source, this did not prevent him from being unable to bear the opponent's almost stereotyped combat methods and skills.
"Hmph, if you hadn't used that despicable trick to deal with your sister, how could we have lost so badly?"
The younger sister holding her sister's arm next to her gritted her teeth and stared at Rhode in front of her. Although judging from what she heard from Marlene, according to her identity, she is now the owner of this fire source, but it seems that the little guy in front of her obviously has no intention of treating him as his master.
"If it's a head attack, how could I......"
The girl didn't finish her words, because at this moment, Rhode raised his hand and snapped his fingers gently.
In an instant, the grassland under the moonlight replaced the room originally paved with stone slabs, while the three people who were originally standing in front of Rhodes were moved to the basin in the distance. Then, a dull roar sounded, and in the dark night sky, a huge magic cannon that was dozens of meters high and sprayed with steam emerged out of thin air along the track of nothingness. The black muzzle aimed at the three people in front of him. Although there was no expression, the girl's face turned pale at this moment.
"If you want to use the ace, you need as much as you want, this is the summoning swordsman."
In just a blink of an eye, the grassland under the night and the steam magic cannon that emerged out of thin air disappeared without a trace, and the four of them returned to their original room. At this time, the girl had no expression of dissatisfaction before. She just grabbed her sister's arm in horror and stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes and restless eyes. Beside her, the sister who had just lowered her head shyly just now widened her eyes in surprise, looking at all in front of her. As for the other white-haired man, she was completely stunned. Her already pale face turned even blue at this moment. He never thought that summoning swordsman could have such powerful power.
Indeed, as Rhode said, it would be easier to just kill them. Just launch [Casali under the night] to pull them into the fantasy space. Then launch [Dungeon of Annihilation] and shoot them down with one shot. It would be a complete instant kill, and there would be no need to waste time in close combat.
Are these guys really made of things?
Seeing the expressions of the three people, Rhode raised his eyebrows in surprise. In his impression, the so-called artificial human should be the kind of expressionless face, which is like a machine, and can calculate gains and losses, but he never cares about his own life safety. Then he was moved after some tragic battles that shocked the world and cried ghosts and gods, so he left the scope of machinery and possessed the human heart and so on... Isn't it written like this if the novel wants to sell?
However, considering that the pseudo-human recreated a body and replaced the soul, rather than being a dead object from the beginning, it is better to say that it is a human body than a human body? From this perspective, human magic technology is even higher than Belhems.
"Just just tried your abilities. If it was in a formal battle, your combat skills could be said to be completely unqualified. Perhaps it is more than enough to deal with idiots with less intelligence than 9, but they are still too lacking in the face of such battles."
“So, so?”
Seeing that the other two seemed to be frightened by the "frightened" man in front of him, the girl couldn't help but stubbornly raised her head. She forced herself to stare at the man in front of her and asked with gritted teeth. When she heard her inquiry, Rod narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So, I want to give you special training. It is rare to see three summoned swordsmen. If you die in the disaster of chaos, it will definitely not be a blessing for me, so……………” said Rod paused for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a charming smile. "………I will train you well."
If there is anything different about the source of fire and refuge, it means that when you look up, you can see the white clouds in the sky and the shining sunshine in the sky. As the source of fire, the order known as time is still barely preserved here. The strangest thing is that the burning fire is clearly above your head, but when you look up, you can clearly see that the "glory of the sunset" is gradually deviating, causing the tower in front of you to fall into a quiet night again.
What a nostalgic view...
Rhode raised his head and looked at the night before him, but soon he heard the footsteps coming from behind him.
"Marin?"
"Rod, why don't you go to rest?"
Marlene walked quietly to Rhodes, looked up at the night in front of her and the green vines climbing on the tower under the bright red sunset light, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked. When Rhodes heard her inquiry, he shrugged.
"It's rare to go back to a relatively normal place. If we succeed, we won't have to look at the disgusting chaos storm in the future... Although we can't see it if we fail."
"Puff."
Hearing Rhode's answer, Marlene chuckled, but soon, she lowered her head and disappeared from her original smile.
"Sorry...Rod......"
"sorry?"
Hearing that Marlene suddenly apologized to him, Rhode was stunned and turned his head to look at the girl in front of him. When he noticed Rhode's gaze, Marlene bit her lips and nodded slightly.
"Yes, you should know. I... the reason why I followed you. Although I once wanted to confess to you, this is a family secret after all, and I don't know how to speak to you. No matter what, my approach..."
It's like using yourself.
Although Marin did not say it, Rhode understood what she meant. Perhaps she did have deep feelings for herself, but in addition to this, the original motivation for forcing her to stay by her side was not simple. Although Marin herself had never done anything to induce herself to do, in the end, she did go to the Chaos Land as the Shania family said, and came to this fire source that has a lot of roots in the Shania family. From this point of view, all her actions are in the control of the Shania family?
“There is no need for this.”
"Why?"
Hearing Rhode's answer, Marin raised her head in surprise, but she saw Rhode wave his hand indifferently.
"Everything I did was planned a long time ago and done by my own will. It was not affected by anyone, so it was not your responsibility. Although the reason why you are willing to follow me seems important to you, it's a pity that I never believe in something like fate. To me, its greatest benefit is…………”
As he said that, Rhode reached out and gently stroked the girl's hair in front of him.
"………… bring you to me, Marlene." (To be continued...)
