"What's this?"
The intense light emerging from the surface of the crystal ball instantly occupied all of Rhode's sight, and for a moment, all eyes on his body were invisible.
Even though all his eyelids were closed deeply, Rhodes still felt the dazzling white light occupying everything around him. His entire body seemed to be wrapped in this burst of white light.
Under Rhodes, Hell Behemoth also let out a loud roar. A pair of sharp claws kept waving, leaving deep scratches on the ground and the walls of the hall. The entire hall trembled because of its struggle, not even slightly. Rubbles fell from Rhodes' head.
Even the dock hall that looks very solid is still unable to withstand the fierce struggle of Hell Behemoth. If it is allowed to continue like this, I am afraid that the entire hall will collapse.
After realizing this, Rhodes immediately took control of his body and let Hell Behemoth settle down.
Along with this burst of white light, there was also an extremely strong mana fluctuation.
The direction of the mana fluctuations was from the place where the ships appeared outside the magic dock. Rhodes felt this keenly.
Even though his vision was filled with strong light and he could not look directly at everything in front of him, Rhodes' perception was still sharp and he could detect any abnormality that happened. In this state, perception is much more useful than naked eye observation.
Not long after, the light gradually dissipated, and the original calm returned to the hall. Rhodes tried to open his eyes, but his eyes seemed to be filled with white spots, and it would take a while to recover.
"What's going on with that burst of light? Even the bodies of legendary creatures are affected by it..." Rhodes asked with some confusion.
Recalling the previous burst of light, what surprised Rhodes was that even the legendary body belonging to Hell Behemoth would be affected by it. At this point, the effect of that burst of light has surpassed Rhodes' memory. Many spells in it.
"Lord Eliot, I'm sorry, but I don't know why this is happening." In Rhode's arms, Tiss was also a little flustered and explained to Rhodes hastily.
Rhodes said helplessly: "Of course I know that that burst of light does not belong to your power. What I want to know is why it appeared, and what did you see in the crystal ball?"
"I used that soul to create a magic ship according to your request..." Tisi looked at the dark yellow monster and answered carefully.
"So, the light just now was caused by making the magic ship." Rhodes seemed to have thought of something and frowned.
He stretched out his spare arm and picked up the parchment in the hall.
"Tisi, currently ranked fourth, the number of sinner souls collected: 1, the highest quality sinner soul: the perfect soul of a first-level hero."
On the front of the parchment, Rhodes also found the results and rankings belonging to Tisi.
Before that, perhaps because his attention was attracted by the previous rankings, Rhodes did not pay special attention to the rankings belonging to Tisi. Now it seems that Rhodes has also faintly discovered something unusual.
"The perfect soul of a first-order hero? What is that?" Looking at the succubus Hela who had fled away first, Rhodes asked, hoping to get the answer from her.
"A perfect soul refers to a pure soul that has not been contaminated by sin."
Soon, Hela came closer and gave Rhodes the answer he wanted.
"But that is almost impossible. All creatures are infected by sin. As long as there are desires of one's own in the heart, the soul will no longer be pure. Sin is rooted in the hearts of all creatures. In the human world, it is probably only just now. Only babies born with such a soul..."
Rhodes listened to Hela's story, and some doubts flashed on his face: "Where did the perfect soul that Tisi got come from?"
"How do I know? Maybe she killed a human baby?" Hela shrugged and replied.
"I didn't... Lord Ailot, I told you before..." Tisi lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the dark yellow monster.
Seeing that Tisi didn't seem to be hiding anything, Rhodes felt a little helpless and at the same time thought of what Tisi had said before.
"Tisi, you said that the soul you got came from a priest, right? And he sacrificed it on his own initiative." Rhodes thought about it for a moment, then asked Tisi.
"Hmm..." Tisi nodded.
"Priest? Those are a group of hypocritical guys. I don't believe that any of them can have such a soul." Hela curled her lips and said disdainfully.
"Anyway, I'd better check out the magic ship that was created first. According to the previous mana fluctuations, the magic ship should have been completed."
Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information at all by asking like this, Rhodes shook his head and said proactively.
As she walked out of the dock, Hela seemed to have thought of something and added to Rhodes:
"The evaluation of sinners' souls in the illusion of sin is based on the degree to which they are infected by sin. In other words, the soul that is more deeply eroded by sin will have a higher evaluation."
"I understand what you mean." Rhodes replied.
"Then you should understand that the so-called perfect soul, that is, a soul that has not been eroded by sin at all, has no value at all. A magic ship built with this kind of soul as its core will not have any powerful capabilities." Hela glanced at Tisi in front of Rhodes and said.
"How do you explain the burst of light before? When you made the magic ship, there was no such light, right?" Sensing the meaning of Hela's words, Rhodes retorted.
Facing Rhodes' rebuttal, Hela's lips moved but she didn't say any words. She didn't know where the light that filled the dock hall came from.
"Maybe... maybe it was that soul that caused a problem with the crystal ball, which caused that burst of light." Hela gritted her teeth and said.
Rhodes ignored Hela, who looked unhappy, and instead looked at Tisi, who was in a daze in her arms.
"what's on your mind?"
Rhodes' words interrupted Tisi's thoughts.
Seeing Rhodes looking at her with concern, Tisi's face turned slightly red and she replied: "I'm thinking about the priest who saved me, why did he do such a thing? We obviously don't know each other, and he doesn't know either. Who am I to save me with my soul..."
Hearing what Tisi said, Rhodes could only lament her good luck: "Because he is stupid, or maybe you successfully seduced him like Hela. That is the soul you deserve."
After receiving praise from Rhodes, Tis smiled happily, but she still had some doubts in her heart that had not been answered.
