Summoning the Holy Sword

Chapter 1376: Escape From Danger

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It seemed like the Chaos Core wasn’t foolish. Although the Chaos creatures relied upon their instincts to act, the Chaos Core had apparently sensed the main culprit. The fact that the gap out there was gradually shrinking was the best proof of that. The Chaos Core was clearly planning to trap Rhode and the rest here forever!

To think it only thought about this now!

Rhode inwardly criticized how dumb the Chaos Core was. From the start, the Chaos Core only dealt with Rhode and didn’t care about the opening. If it blocked the opening from the beginning, even Rhode would have to tuck his tail obediently and wouldn’t be able to return to where he came from. But he wasn’t facing a good situation now either. At that moment, he was still some distance away from the opening. If he couldn’t leave before the Chaos Core closed the opening completely, he would never be able to leave this godforsaken place in his entire life.

At this thought, he flapped his wings hard, struggling against the void storm, while trying his best to fly toward the opening. Honestly, he originally didn’t have the intention of setting off Plane Destruction Bombs at such a close distance. However, after receiving an answer from Orchid Heart, he decided to leave this place immediately and had no choice but to detonate them. However, his correspondence wasn’t too terrible. At least for now, the Chaos creatures’ attention were grabbed by the void storm, so they didn’t hinder his escape.

But... Why does it feel like the power of the void storm is weakening?

Rhode clearly felt the spatial force pulling onto his body diminishing. But without the need of him confirming it, Mini Bubble Gum had already given him an answer.

“Leader, the cracked space is merging!”

Gazing at the huge spatial crack in the back, even Mini Bubble Gum was startled. One had to know that once the void storm collapsed, it could be the collapse of the entire space. The spatial crack would only expand, and at most, stabilize when it reached the tipping point of expansion. But not only did this spatial crack stop expanding, but its size also slowly shrunk. The power that was pulling on everything also seemed to be weakened.

Seems like this Chaos Core isn’t all that useless; it can merge even broken space. What a troublesome one to deal with!

At that moment, Rhode finally knew why the five Creator Dragons, including his younger sister, had no way of dealing with the Chaos Core in the first place. One had to know that shattered space was something that even the Void Dragon had to avoid. However, the Chaos Core was able to restore shattered space back to its original form, and that alone was terrifying. In that case, it made sense why the five Creator Dragons could only create the Dragon Soul Continent as a shelter on the outside and never thought of retaliating.

But fortunately, they were about to part with this headache forever!

Rhode was well aware that it wasn’t an appropriate time to criticize the situation. Although the void storm’s force that was pulling him was weakened, it also meant that the power of the Chaos Core was recovering rapidly. Meanwhile, it also distributed its power to suppress the spatial crack, which meant that this was Rhode’s final chance!

At this thought, Rhode fluttered his wings with might and glided forward. Along with the weakening of the void storm, his speed increased, and in just the blink of an eye, he flew to the entrance of the opening. As long as he passed through the opening, he would be halfway to victory!

However, the moment he stretched out his claws to seize the opening and was about to fly out of it, suddenly an abrupt mental shock wave erupted from the back and engulfed everyone.

“———!”

Even the mighty Rhode felt giddy and suffering as if one had picked up a hammer and smashed his head heavily. Not only that, but what followed was also a stabbing pain that came from the surface of his brain. It didn’t feel pleasant at all. Since even Rhode couldn’t resist the mental shock wave from Chaos, the people on his back didn’t have it any better. After letting out a muffled grunt, Icy Snow let loose of her hands that were holding onto Rhode’s scales and flew backward.

“No, Little Icy... Argh!”

Upon seeing Icy Snow’s fall, the flustered Canary reached out her hand to grab the young lady beside her. However, the sudden sting in her head stalled her instinctively and she failed to grasp the young lady’s outstretched arm. At that moment, Icy Snow was also in a state of shock as she extended her arms blindly, attempting to hold onto something. However, she wasn’t successful.

Meanwhile, Marybelle, Cassidy, and Alice also noticed her danger. But under the raging void storm, even they couldn’t protect themselves. What’s more, the distance between them was far too great, making it impossible for the deity wardens to make a move.

“Big Brother...!”

The faintest of cries disappeared into the whirling storm in an instant, and all Icy Snow could do was to widen her eyes and stare at everything that was whizzing by. She felt her body being seized by the power of the void, and now that Rhode was struggling to move forward, there was no way he could stop and wait for her. But... She was just a projection, anyway... Even if she disappeared into the void storm, he should still be able to bring her back...

At this thought, Icy Snow closed her eyes and plunged into darkness.

Just think of it as sleeping. Yes, that’s right. Think of it as sleeping...

Smack!

The tremendous force that struck her arm made her open her eyes in shock, only to find the frowning Mini Bubble Gum rubbing her forehead with one hand and pulling her with the other. Mini Bubble Gum rested on the protruded scale of Rhode’s spine for support, struggling to grip Icy Snow’s arm.

“Bubble, you...”

“You’re too old to be sacrificing yourself for love! You haven’t even been on Leader’s bed and are still a virgin, so why are you in such a hurry to die?! The female lead in movies always have sex with the male lead before her death... Argh, what the hell am I talking about? A brat like you won’t even get to be the female lead. You can only act as a lolita at the very most! All right, cut the crap! Hurry up! How long do you want to let me pull you; my hands aren’t made of iron!”

“It’s clearly you who’s been speaking crap! And talking about ridiculous things!”

After hearing Mini Bubble Gum’s sputter, Icy Snow pulled herself together and glared at the other young lady in displeasure. But soon after, she used her other hand to grab Mini Bubble Gum’s arm, before sinking downward with her entire body. Meanwhile, a dazzling glint flashed in Icy Snow’s eyes and she disappeared into thin air at the next moment. Almost at the same time, her petite body emanated a soft and bright radiance, before reappearing beside Mini Bubble Gum. After seeing Icy Snow, Mini Bubble Gum snorted in disdain.

“Tsk, what in the world? I forgot about this ability of yours. I shouldn’t have saved you just now, since you’d be fine, anyway.”

“I just forgot for a moment!”

Faced with Mini Bubble Gum’s complaints, Icy Snow wasn’t willing to be outdone and retaliated. As a matter of fact, Icy Snow was well aware that if Mini Bubble Gum didn’t pull her up in time, giving her a buffer and a fixed anchor point, she wouldn’t have been able to use her ‘space’ ability. But the two of them didn’t continue bickering. On the contrary, they looked at each other and turned away with a ‘hmph’ at the same time.

“Alright, everyone hold on tight!”

At that moment, Rhode spoke in a resonant voice. No one knew better than him as to what just happened. Icy Snow didn’t see it, but he witnessed Mini Bubble Gum’s heroics clearly. The instant Icy Snow was being swept away by the void storm, Mini Bubble Gum let go of her hand that was grabbing onto his scale and launched out like a cannonball toward Icy Snow. Then, she grabbed Icy Snow’s arm, dragged her back, and slammed onto his scale again. Fortunately, she cast several defensive spells on herself. Otherwise, she would have suffered a lot more from this collision.

Well, this is true love, no doubt... These two brats sure are giving their all.

Gazing at the two young ladies who had turned their heads around, but had their hands still holding each other’s tightly, Rhode let out an inward sigh. But this apparently wasn’t the time to be teasing them. The fact that Icy Snow was also swept away from him made his heart skip a beat. But since she was rescued by Mini Bubble Gum, he didn’t have any hesitation.

With just a flap of his wings, he arrived at the entrance of the opening, stretching out his two front claws and grabbing onto the edge. At that moment, the Chaos Core seemed to realize that he was trying to escape, and erupted another mental shock wave that exploded like a tidal wave from behind.

Fortunately, Rhode was much quicker. He extended his two front claws, gripped the edge of the opening, folded his wings, and propelled his entire body outward with force. His enormous body slipped through the hole like a slippery loach and he successfully returned to where he came from. Almost at the same time, the outburst of a mental shock wave came right after, striking the wall heavily. However, Rhode was no longer there.

“We’re finally out!”

After escaping from the Chaos Core, the crowd was relieved. After all, the amount of Chaos creatures that swarmed from all directions was too overwhelming for them. Now that they finally escaped, they were overjoyed.

But for Rhode, the situation was far from being favorable yet.

Because in front of them, the countless Chaos creatures had transformed into dark clouds and pounced on them.
