Chapter 44 Clothing Demolition is a Sign of Potential Explosion
"That's the power of belief."
As soon as Rod finished speaking, the cover behind him turned to ashes again, so he had to find another place to hide.
"Is that so..." Alina stammered, unsure how to respond.
At this moment, with her body and mind so closely connected, she could naturally feel Rhodes's undisguised and passionate emotions.
He wasn't lying; he genuinely believed him. But, but...
"Why can this guy always say such embarrassing and weird things so casually..."
Why bring this up in such a strange setting...?
Seeing Rhodes once again cornered by Aphrodite's magical energy blast, Alina gritted her teeth, suppressed her conflicted emotions, and began to seriously consider how to break the current situation.
Since Rhodes has given her complete trust, she must reciprocate in kind.
Anxiety, shyness, fear—all impurities were completely stripped away at this moment.
Alina closed her eyes, her mind entering a mysterious and ethereal state.
Think back to the first time they combined their powers, that feeling of explosive power...
Believe in him as you believe in yourself, entrust your heart and soul to him, until you unlock the potential within yourself...
In this absolutely pure spiritual fusion, Alina's golden hair fluttered in the space of consciousness, her face calm and peaceful.
At this moment, her smooth and delicate skin was completely exposed, her mind was free of distractions, her body was clean and pure, her true appearance untouched by dust, and she was as holy as if she had been reborn.
outside world.
Rhodes, who was about to pounce again to dodge the attack, paused.
A surge of power, like a gushing spring, rapidly welled up from within. The muscles that had been sore from continuous high-intensity dodging instantly regained their vitality, the fatigue vanished, and a feeling of abundant power filled the entire body.
"Um?"
Rhodes was stunned when he saw this, and then he realized that in the consciousness space, Alina's body was completely pure and spotless, and everything about her was revealed without reservation.
"I see..." He glanced at the increased resonance level on the system panel and suddenly understood everything.
It turns out that "clothing explosion" is equivalent to "power explosion," a concrete manifestation of emotional outburst that can temporarily enhance the strength of the Swift Ranger.
If Alina could consistently unleash her power at crucial moments...
How wonderfully powerful must the Swift Ranger's combat strength have risen to?
Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, he and Alina were kindred spirits and like-minded partners.
"call……"
When the few available shelters around him turned to ashes under Aphrodite's attack, Rhode stopped hiding and strode out from the swirling black ash, carrying his elven bow.
Seeing this, Aphrodite stopped her venting barrage, her white hair dancing wildly in the wind, her scarlet pupils fixed on the tiny prey on the ground.
Looking at Rhodes, who had finally shown himself, she couldn't help but sneer, "Finally decided to come out? I thought you were planning to hide like a gopher?"
"I just think this farce should end," Rod said, looking up at her. "I can't let you keep ruining things."
"Anyone can make such boastful claims."
Before she finished speaking, she took advantage of the moment to gather her strength and waved her wand, sending several dark red energy beams shooting out with a strangling force.
The surge in temporary resonance made Rhodes' vision much clearer, and the trajectory of the rapidly approaching energy beam as it advanced through the air was clearly traceable.
It even made Rhodes feel that he didn't need to dodge, but could instead use arrows to intercept those attacks.
Faced with the overwhelming bursts of magical energy, Rhode took a deep breath, drew three arrows, nocked them, and aimed.
[Armed Upgrade]
In an instant, a dazzling cyan-gold light completely enveloped the longbow and arrows. The magic power within his body surged wildly, converging into a cyan vortex at the tip of the iron-tipped arrow, emitting a sharp and piercing whistle.
Arrow Rain
The moment Rhodes released the bowstring, the arrows, swept away by the wind element, transformed into a dazzling stream of blue-gold light, like a storm raging upstream.
boom--
The moment the arrow collided with the magical energy explosion, a deafening chain of explosions instantly lit up the night sky.
"You can actually intercept my spells?!"
Even though Aphrodite's thinking was somewhat sluggish due to the effects of the drug, she became a little more lucid when she saw the extraordinary scene before her.
Her magic burst is a pure spell attack without a physical form. Under normal circumstances, those flying arrows should either pass directly through the attack or be annihilated by the energy, and it is impossible for the two to cancel each other out.
"Enchantment..." Aphrodite's expression turned extremely ugly as she looked at the surging magic power on Rhodes' body.
Although the other party also consumed magic power, it was much easier than her. Aphrodite knew very well that even with the help of the potion, the two factors would cancel each other out, and she would still lose more magic power.
Rhodes wouldn't give her time to be shocked and think.
Before the dust settled, he flicked his fingers and released a final arrow, imbued with pure wind pressure.
boom!
The arrow pierced Aphrodite's wand with pinpoint accuracy, and the magic attached to it exploded violently along the wand, forcing Aphrodite to drop the wand to avoid being caught in the blast.
Even so, the violent airflow sent Aphrodite flying.
She lost her balance in mid-air and fell heavily onto the ground.
His clothes were covered in dust, his wand lay in the distance, and the once bright gem at its tip flickered a few times before going completely dark.
"Damn it..." Aphrodite's face turned pale.
A wave of intense weakness washed over me, the effects of the medicine wore off without my noticing, and my body instantly entered a period of weakness from the backlash, making even moving a finger difficult.
clattering—
The steady footsteps gradually approached.
She gritted her teeth, swaying as she tried to get up, her hands bracing against the ground, but then darkness fell over her as she was suddenly enveloped by a tall shadow.
She looked up and saw that tall figure had stopped in front of her.
He looked down at me, still holding the elven longbow and a sharp iron-tipped arrow in his hand.
Aphrodite had already imagined how cruelly the arrow would pierce her heart, ending her ridiculous and incompetent life.
"Heh, heh... A bet's a bet, and I've lost."
She lowered her head, her white hair, stained with blood and ashes, falling over her shoulders and swaying slightly with her trembling body.
Its original bat wings were unable to fold, and its long, flexible heart-shaped tail drooped listlessly to the ground.
After waiting for a long time, the expected fatal blow did not come. Aphrodite couldn't help but look up and found that the shadow that had been hanging over her head had disappeared, leaving only the bright moonlight.
Under the moonlight, the figure that had been standing in front of Aphrodite was now standing not far away, picking up her dropped wand and playing with it with great interest.
"?"
How did this guy end up picking up the spoils?
What about her?
Are we just going to ignore it?
