In the panicked square, as the flames descended and the blond angel left, no one paid attention to Rowling, who was originally undergoing trial.
Rowling raised her head and stared at Rhodes in the sky. Rhodes, who was on the Netherworld Ghost Dragon, seemed to have sensed something. He turned his masked head over with a look on his face. A reassuring smile.
At this moment, Rowling was suddenly shocked. She covered her mouth with her hands. Someone was rising from the ground below and attacking Rhodes.
Rhodes waved his sword to block the sudden attack. After a closer look, he found that the one attacking him was the legendary lich Smed.
"I didn't expect that you didn't retreat like other lichs, but instead attacked me." Rhodes said in a deep voice.
"I deeply remember everything you did, and I will make you pay the price." Smede angrily held the blade in his hand.
Rhodes sneered: "Keep in mind the anger in your heart. This will be the only emotion you can feel before you die."
Following Rhode's words, in the sky higher than where he was, flames broke through the barrier of angels gathered together, and then fell towards all the creatures below.
Fine sulfur and fire rained down from the sky. Even Rhodes could not avoid the attack of this spell and was exposed to it indiscriminately.
No matter it is a barrier made of energy or a house with substance, it can't resist the flames falling from the sky. Whenever the flames touch the ground, they instantly turn into raging fire, burning everything they touch.
The coming of the disaster made it difficult for the people in the square to maintain their faith. The cries drowned out the prayers. Only a few extremely pious people could remain calm.
In the sky, Rhodes and Smed were undoubtedly burned by the flames earlier than the creatures below.
Rhodes, who had been prepared for a long time, used the magic of fire control on himself, which could alleviate the pain of the burning flames, but it could not stop the drastic drop in health. Smede on the side became even more unbearable, and his whole body turned into a ball. Fireball.
"I will never forgive you..." Smed roared in the flames, and the heroic will burst out from his body. At this moment, he could not feel any pain. All he could see in his eyes was Luo Luo. Virtue alone.
Rhodes didn't know how long Smede could hold up in the flames, and he didn't want to be dragged down by it. After using the explosion of lightning to bounce Smede away, Rhodes immediately used teleportation, and the next moment he appeared on the high platform in the center of the square. above.
"Brother..." Looking at Rhodes who appeared here, Rowling could no longer hold back, and hot tears flowed from her eyes.
"Now is not the time to talk, let's get out of here quickly."
With that said, Rhodes raised his hand and cast a dark green portal in front of Rowling.
When casting the spell, Rhodes controlled it a little, so that the flames finally spread to the stands in the center of the square. This also bought him some time to rescue Rowling, but it was only for a while. Soon, the flames would spread. Completely engulfing the entire city of Standwick and burning everything inside.
And this is the true power of this spell. The fifth-level magic called [Doomsday Judgment] will engulf everything within the range of the spell with flames.
Originally, Rhodes was not qualified to master this spell at all. This is the most powerful magic that can only be cast by the protagonist of the third expansion pack, the Demon King Lucifer.
However, the Wisdom Tree, which holds all the wisdom in the world, gave Rhodes such an opportunity. From the death of Wisdom Tree Yuk, Rhodes glimpsed a corner of infinite wisdom. Among them, the fifth-level magic that Rhodes chose to learn was exactly 【Doomsday Judgment】.
Just as Rowling was about to enter the portal, Marcia, who was also on a high platform in the center of the square and was not affected by the flames, stood in front of Rowling.
"Evil Lord Rhodes, I won't let you just walk away." Masaya said in a deep voice.
Rhodes' expression changed, and just as he was about to push Rowling into the portal, Masaya's words came first: "Rowling, your soul cannot pass through any form of portal."
Following Marciah's words, Rowling's body seemed to undergo some kind of change.
"No..." Rhodes roared angrily, swung the blade in his hand, and swept across Masiah's body.
However, what Rhode didn't expect was that his sword blade passed directly through Masiah's body without being hindered at all, as if the person in front of him did not exist in a physical form at all.
"Evil Lord, although I don't know how you resist the power of the Holy Word, you can't hurt me." Masiah said slowly, "I am the Holy Spirit and will not harm any creature, nor will I hurt any living thing like an ordinary soul. Take damage, your spells have no effect on me.”
Rhodes' expression darkened, but he had to look away from Massiah. What he cared more about than killing Massiah was Rowling in front of him.
"Follow me." Rhodes said to Rowling. "The power of the Holy Word can only affect the will of living things, but cannot affect objective facts. I will push you into the gate of time and space."
Once, Rhodes learned about this situation through an experiment using the Dark Holy Word on North. With that said, he took the initiative to push Rowling into the gate of time and space.
At this moment, an accident happened. Rowling walked straight through the portal and her body appeared behind the portal.
"How could this happen..." Rhodes said with some surprise, but all he got in exchange was Masiya's indifferent gaze.
Brimstone and fire had descended around the stands, billowing smoke rose into the sky, and Rowling coughed violently.
The fire rain falling around him became more and more dense. Some of the fire rain fell on Rhodes' shoulders and touched the wide black cloak. However, it did not turn into a ball of flames like other fire rains, but instead seemed to fall into water. Dissolve.
After discovering this, in the sea of fire, Rhodes hugged Rowling tightly and tried to wrap their bodies with the Ghost King's cloak just like he had wrapped himself in the void. However, he could not do this because the fabric of the cloak was very limited. , can only wrap one person.
"I finally found you..." Behind him, Smed's body walked out of the sea of fire. His body was like blackened charcoal, and his original human shape could no longer be seen. However, the heroic will always supported his actions. .
"I will kill you and destroy everything you hold dear, just like you did to me!" Smede said harshly.
Looking at the approaching powerful enemy, the portal not far away, and the helpless Rowling looking at him with tearful eyes, at this moment, Rhodes finally made a decision.
