Summoning the Holy Sword Chapter 1109

Chapter 1109: A Bothersome Suggestion

Rhode detected the uncertainties in his younger sister's voice. She couldn't be blamed as the situation of the Dragon Soul Continent was different from other worlds, which was why the plane channel's destination was difficult to determine. This was also why even Creator Dragons had to resign themselves to their fate after activating the teleportation door. As Chaos was trapped outside the entire continent, it would be impossible for Chaos to treat people of Order well based on their chaotic characteristics. And now, something actually broke through the barrier of Chaos to set up a stable point. This was enough to worry the Creator Dragons. In fact, Rhode empathized with his younger sister. It was as though humans took great pains to think something through and could finally make interplanetary travel in the solar system, only for an alien fleet to show up before them after crossing the galaxy effortlessly. The uneasiness caused by this gap in civilization levels was only natural. Moreover, it was apparent from their approach in taking down Erin that they harbored malicious intent. In this case, as the Void Dragon who created the Dragon Soul Continent, his younger sister naturally paid more attention to it. Not to mention, the data had also infiltrated Rhode's system, which made the situation even more dangerous.

While Rhode and his younger sister discussed, Alice's 'Historical Tracing' came to an end. Rhode turned around and nodded at Lydia, before shifting his gaze to the rest. Of course, he turned a blind eye to Ion.

“Alright, I suppose everyone witnessed what happened. What are your opinions about it?”

“How do we know that is the truth? Or perhaps that is only a smokescreen of yours?”

Ion swept a glance at Rhode, snorted, and asked. Upon facing his taunting, Rhode wasn't mindful at all.

“I don't care if you believe it or not. Anyway, I do.”

“You…”

“What? You've something to say? I advise you, as the Dark Dragon, to smash your head against the wall if you aren't more familiar with your younger sister than I am. Or perhaps I should do you the favor and slash that idiotic head of yours from that neck?”

Rhode replied in an ice-cold tone. He flipped his right wrist over and a silver-whitish sword appeared in his hand. Looking at this scene, Ion turned grim. As the Dark Dragon, he held utmost supremacy in the entire Country of Darkness! But now, he was taunted by this young man time and time again!

This bast*rd is asking for death!

At this thought, Ion reached out and pressed his hand on his sword hilt, staring at Rhode grimly. Meanwhile, their subordinates had no reaction at all. After all, this wasn't the first conflict they had since the investigations team was formed. Garcia and Alice stood behind their masters silently as though ready to engage in battle. They clearly knew that the murderous intent erupting from their masters couldn't get more genuine.

But every time, both sides weren't able to get into a fight because…

“Woah! Please calm down, both of you. Please calm down!”

Corina raised her hands frantically, wedged herself between Rhode and Ion, and cried. As an elf in the Legendary Stage, of course she was able to sense the genuine murderous intent erupting from them. If either one of them were to not think of the consequences and attack, she would be dead either way!

Corina even had to embrace herself to mediate the situation. She was really having a hard time…

“I've reported to Madam Nalea and Madam Siena. May I ask both of you to please wait for a moment? Ah, no… I didn't mean that. I… I…”

Corina said, pulling a long face and didn't know what else she could say to persuade them. But it seemed like after these few days, this pitiful elf was starting to give up.

I've done my level best and shall leave the rest to God's will. I can only rely on luck as to whether I will survive…

Unsure if Corina's 'acting cute' worked or for some other reasons, Rhode and Ion swept a glance at her before dwindling their murderous intent at the same second with no one doing it quicker or later. This was a crazy and dangerous game. If one's murderous intent were to dwindle first or later, one would have a sufficient reason to kill.

Anyway, they only needed one excuse to do it. Even if the excuse wasn't all that reliable, it would be sufficient with just an excuse. If Corina knew she was merely a guinea pig in their competition, perhaps she would immediately head back and hand her resignation to the twin dragons…

“Hmph, so what's next?”

Ion turned to Garcia and didn't speak to Rhode directly. But Garcia was also aware that this was a sign for him to discuss with them. Since they knew how Erin went missing, they should discuss the next step of the plan. Should they abandon or rescue Erin?

Garcia was more toward the latter. Ashvril's death and Balende's injuries greatly impacted the legendary generals. As a matter of fact, Garcia had suggested to Ion to let Erin join them as one of the legendary generals. After all, Erin was undoubtedly strong and just as Rhode observed, even though the 'human wave attack' of the Country of Darkness was unbeatable, they were weak in terms of high-end forces. In the past, the Country of Darkness only had to deal with the Country of Light since the latter merely had three archangels. Although the reborn Country of Light was still delicate with one archangel dead in battle, Serene heavily injured, and relying on Lydia alone was too tough, who would have expected the Void Territory to suddenly rise in power before them? Garcia was worried, especially about the high-end forces of the Void Territory. Besides, according to their intelligence, the Void Dragon and Light Dragon had a favorable relationship. If they were to engage in war together, the Country of Darkness would need to face both of their high-end forces. Aside from Rhode, the existence of Alice, who almost killed Balende, was enough to make Garcia linger in fear.

Even though Ion also had other considerations, Garcia hoped for him to change his mind. No matter what, Erin's strength and wisdom was what the legendary generals needed. If she were still alive, it would be for the best if they could rescue her.

“Your Majesty, I think we should discuss the matter with them first and decide whether there is any definite information to search for Her Highness Erin. If it is possible, I think we should try our best to rescue Her Highness Erin. After all, she is part of the high-end forces of the Country of Darkness…”

Garcia said, before letting out a sigh. What else could he say? This was how the world worked. Even if he had a hundred great lichs in the Peak Legendary Stage while the Void Territory didn't even have one, the Void Territory had a 'By the God' being who almost slaughtered Balende instantly. Even if Garcia had a thousand great lichs, they would still be eradicated in minutes. This was 'level', an absolute strength that surpassed all things. It was just like how 40 legendary generals couldn't defeat the Dark Dragon. If there were problems with the high-end forces, the situation would become bothersome. Ashvril was dead, and Balende was gravely injured. Garcia was adept in support and not offense, and Charlie's ability was weaker than Lydia's. If the Void Dragon didn't exist, the Country of Darkness would have a lot of time to recuperate. But…

“I got it.”

After listening to Garcia's suggestion, Ion simply nodded in agreement.

“I'll leave it to you then.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Ion would never take the initiative to speak to Rhode. Both sides would either break into a fight or threaten each other. All in all, it was impossible for them to sit down and discuss the matter peacefully. This was why Ion gave Garcia the responsibility to speak to Rhode. As the only human in the four legendary generals, Garcia's ability to interact could be considered 'maxed-out'.

At this moment, Rhode who disregarded Ion was speaking to others around him, including Alice and Lydia. He didn't hide the truth about what happened, including the usage of the mysterious black pole and where Erin should be at right now. After hearing from Rhode, Lydia widened her eyes in excitement and curiosity, before scanning the wooden pole.

“What should we do next, Your Majesty Rhode?”

“If possible, we must find Her Highness Erin. Besides…”

Rhode continued before coming to a pause. If Erin was met with other accidents, Rhode actually wasn't that interested to get involved. But according to his younger sister, not only did the enemies have the ability to fix the destination of the plane channel through Chaos, but they also seemed to be full of hostilities toward this world. In this case, Rhode could only postpone his battle with the Dark Dragon now. After taunting Ion for several days, he was still able to hold his ground, so there was no point in messing with him further. Anyway, Ion wasn't a woman, so provoking him didn't give Rhode any sense of accomplishment at all.

“I've decided to head there myself.”

Of course, this was because he had to rely on his younger sister to figure out the source of energy threatening the Dragon Soul Continent. Besides, by doing so, there was also a benefit for him. This time, he finally found a justified reason to leave this place and search for Erin. During his absence, he would hand over his territory to Siena and Nalea for protection. Since he would be rescuing Erin, the twin dragons had no reason to refuse. In this case, if Ion tried to lay a finger on the Void Territory or Country of Light… heh, heh.

At this thought, the corners of Rhode's lips perked up. He didn't believe the twin dragons would do everything they could to protect his territory. But this was only for insurance. As a matter of fact, even if the Dark Dragon was courageous enough to attack the Void Territory while he wasn't around, he still had backups around.

But right now, Rhode seemed to have neglected something.

“I see. You're truly a righteous and affectionate person, Your Majesty Rhode.”

For some unknown reason, when Rhode heard this remark from Lydia, he felt like something was amiss. Then, Lydia's words confirmed his hunch.

“In that case, as a close friend of Her Highness Erin, I must get involved too. Your Majesty Rhode, could you please let me join you?”
