Comprehensive Comic: Obtaining The Star Cup Starts With The Strength Of The Shadow
2 Thieves, The Curtain Opened
After Rhodes and Claire finished eating, they had a routine sparring session in the small courtyard. As expected, it ended with Rhodes' victory. In the girl's reluctance, time flew by into the middle of the night.
In the quiet night, only the crescent moon hangs high in the sky.
Rhodes, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up and looked out the window with strange eyes.
The curtains were rolled up by the wind, and the moonlight illuminated Rhodes' profile.
"The aura of rampant magic?"
Rhodes thought about it for a moment, and suddenly he knew what would happen next.
His interest was suddenly aroused, and he made up his mind to take a look.
After making the decision, the figure disappeared from the room instantly.
In the forest outside the town, there were several carriages tied to the side of the road on a muddy path.
In the abandoned village leading to the end of the road, bonfires turned the ground red. A dozen thieves fell into a carnival, with wine and food piled randomly at their feet.
The excited thieves laughed brazenly, as if celebrating tonight's harvest.
Not far away from them, blood stained the ground red, and the bodies of more than a dozen people were scattered on the ground.
Boxes of treasures exude a charming golden light, and the air is filled with the scent of money that makes everyone intoxicated.
"After squatting for more than ten days, I finally found a fat sheep. Cheers to today's good luck!"
"Hahaha! You haven't seen how sweet the voices of those noble nobles begging for mercy are. It would be great if we could still encounter this kind of business!"
"Be content! Recently our reputation has spread to surrounding towns. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity again."
"It's okay. The money we made today is enough for us to live comfortably for a while."
The thieves clinked glasses of wine, each one of them flushed.
"All of them."
The sound of branches swinging came from the forest, attracting everyone's attention.
They looked at each other and put their hands on the weapons at their waists. When they saw who was coming, they immediately lowered their guard.
"Hey, whose kid is this? Is he lost?"
The thieves saw a young man walking out of the forest.
The firelight reflected on the young man's face, and his delicate appearance perfectly dispelled the vigilance of the thieves.
"Maybe he just slipped through the net. He's quite handsome. I remember that the nobles in the royal capital liked his look."
No one paid attention to Rhodes, they just laughed with a crazy expression.
Rhodes looked around at the corpses and understood the current situation. After thinking for a while, he slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.
Rhodes rarely kills people with a sword so far, so he decided to give it a try and get better at it.
"Tsk, how dare you show off your weapon? My little friend, the thing in your hand is dangerous, don't hurt yourself."
"Tsk, I doubt he can chop people?"
"Go away, I'll play with him."
"Don't kill him. He's worth a lot of money. Cut off his limbs first, and then sell them to the royal capital for a good price."
The thieves were watching the show arrogantly. One of the thieves licked the corner of his mouth. Unable to bear the bloodthirsty desire, he picked up the blood-stained sword and faced Rhodes.
"Let me see, should I cut off your hand first?"
The thief stood in front of Rhodes. Looking at Rhodes who was only half his height, he cruelly raised the arm holding the sword. However, before he could wave his arm, a thin white light flashed under the moon. , the sound of the blade cutting flesh sounded.
"Pfft!"
His head was separated from his body. Rhodes flicked the tip of his sword and pointed it diagonally at the ground, and drops of blood fell at his feet.
"come together?"
Rhodes tilted his head, and his childlike and innocent words made the originally noisy thieves fall into deathly silence.
They were lost for a moment. In an instant, the death of their companions made them feel angry, especially Rhodes' flirtatious provocation, which added fuel to the fire. Their brains, numbed by alcohol, lost their most basic judgment.
"Let's go kill him together!"
After throwing down the wine glass and pulling out the weapons from their waists, the thieves roared and charged forward.
Looking at the ferocious-looking enemies on the left and right, Rhodes raised his arms horizontally and slashed across the void in front of him with his rapier!
A white light lingered in the void, just like the thieves rushing around suddenly stopped.
"Pfft, pfft."
Then, the sounds of falling to the ground were heard one after another, and the sword light cut off their bodies.
Along with the large forest area behind them, they moved sideways uniformly, and with a crash, they all fell down, revealing a smooth cross-section.
"Damn it, go to hell!"
Behind Rhodes, a thief suddenly appeared.
"Hiding until now to launch a sneak attack, the timing was wrong. You should have waited."
Rhodes glanced back.
"Bang!"
Rhodes manipulated space and distorted it.
"Click..."
There was a crisp sound of bones breaking, space squeezed him into debris, and blood splashed at Rhodes' feet like a gush of spring water.
"You have already mastered the rules of space. What's next?"
Rhodes was thinking, and a strange scene happened. The body parts of the last dead thief flew back and were reassembled quickly, and the blood returned to his body.
"What's going on? Didn't I already..."
The thief looked horrified. He had not yet escaped the fear of death, and his brain was now experiencing a huge difference.
"There's no problem with time."
After testing his ability, Rhodes snapped his fingers. Without the support of Rhodes' power, the thief's body once again disintegrated into countless fragments, with shock and confusion on his face.
"Next..."
Rhodes put the blade back into the scabbard and scanned the surroundings with the center of his dark pupils.
Rhodes walked to an object that looked like a cage but was covered by a piece of cloth.
After lifting the black cloth, the expected enemy did not appear. What appeared in front of Rhodes was a squirming mass of rotten flesh.
There is an eye in the center of the ball.
"Devil's Possession?"
Rhodes realized what happened to Roudan.
This is one of the more interesting phenomena in this world. Rhodes had heard of it and seen it in the original work, but this was the first time he saw it.
Once upon a time, they were born as ordinary human beings, but from a certain moment, their bodies suddenly rotted and rotted, and they would die suddenly if left alone.
Abnormal phenomena that no one can explain clearly.
However, the church will buy this body that is about to die at a low price and declare to the outside world that it is contaminated with an unknown atmosphere. The people are afraid to avoid it and naturally will not explore what happened.
"Still alive."
Rhodes closed his eyes and sensed that the chaotic and violent magic power was running wildly in the fleshy body, but even so, there were still fluctuations of life.
"You want to live?"
The meat ball cannot restore Rhodes, and its consciousness may be about to pass away, completely turning into a monster that is neither human nor ghost.
Rhodes put his hand on the meat ball, and he learned a lot of remaining memories, which already answered his question well.
It is the thirst for life of a drowned man.
