375. Rescue

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Rhode cursed the stupid woman countless times in his mind while frantically trying to figure out how to break the deadlock.

He wouldn't mind dying here, but he didn't want to see Anfei suffer the same fate.

After all, she was his savior and his Apprentice, and perhaps there were also some inexplicable feelings involved.

However, he helplessly discovered that his strength was far too low, and he had no hope of breaking the deadlock.

"I..."

Hearing the increasingly urgent sounds, Rhode stood up, ready to go all out.

Having no other good ideas, he could only hope that he could launch a surprise attack and eliminate most of the enemies.

Boom!

Just then, a terrifying surge of energy suddenly erupted in the forest!

Hoo hoo!

Rhode felt as if a Great Dragon had appeared before him, its massive body blotting out the sky, its cold, vertical pupils staring down directly at him.

Cold! Ruthless! Disdainful!

Crushing! Horrifying!

Irresistible!

This terrifying pressure seemed to act directly on his soul, making even a fourth-tier master-level professional like him want to kneel down.

"This... could this be the legendary... Dragon Might?"

"Impossible... Great Dragon... didn't they disappear from the continent long ago?"

Rhode felt as if his head was filled with molten lead, making his thinking sluggish.

Even more sluggish was his body, which seemed to have turned into a sculpture.

"It's over... If this is a powerful member of the Black Light Organization, I have no hope..."

Rhode's figure was unmistakably exposed. He stared at the Black Light Organization members opposite him, a look of despair on his face.

But the next moment, he was shocked to find that the members of the Black Light Organization were even worse off than him. They collapsed to the ground one by one. Those of the third rank and above were still conscious, but those below them fainted. There was even a stench coming from their pants.

They were so frightened they lost control of their bladders!

"Not... a member of the Black Light Organization..."

Rhode felt a slight sense of relief, but then asked again, "Could it be an official Tier 5? I can't be that unlucky, can I? To run into a powerful official professional in a remote town?"

"Rhode, don't resist!"

But the next moment, he heard a very familiar voice, and at the same time, a hand landed on his shoulder.

Rhode was taken aback, but he really didn't resist.

Boom!

The next moment, a dizzying sensation washed over me.

He seemed to see the heavens descend to earth, radiating a seven-colored light. Numerous symbols and messages formed a long river, trying to pour in, but were blocked by a layer of purple-gold light.

A feeling of weightlessness washed over me, as if I were falling straight down from an extremely high cliff.

Rhode was startled as he saw that the surrounding scene had changed. He was now in a beautifully decorated living room, with a black and white uniformed maid standing expressionlessly, carrying a tray.

"Rhode!"

Beside him, Anfei's surprised voice came as she grabbed his arm. "Are you alright?"

"I... I'm fine!"

Rhode felt as if he were dreaming. Suddenly, he saw the young man standing behind him, and his eyes reddened slightly. "It's you! Sulu!"

"Long time no see, my brother."

Sulu glanced at Anfei, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Luckily, I wasn't late!"

"What... what's going on? Where am I?"

Rhode glanced around, especially at the maid, sensing that she seemed dangerous.

"Don't worry, you're safe now. This is Green Tree Castle City, my residence."

Sulu gestured for Rhode to sit down. "Come... have a drink, I know you have a lot of questions."

He snapped his fingers, Beatrice immediately brought over a shot of spirits and ice.

"Yes!"

Rhode reverted to his Demon form, took a large gulp, and his hands trembled slightly.

This is a lingering effect of the intense tension from the previous moment. "First of all, how did you find me?"

"Ever since...returning, I've been looking for news of you." Sulu crossed his arms and placed them on his knees. "It seems you saw the newspaper article about me."

Yes. And then?

"Then, it was me," Anfei said. "At that time...you drew the enemy away, and I took the opportunity to run out of the station. I happened to see a Telegraph. You said it was a property your brother had acquired, so I sent an urgent Telegraph, specifying that it was to the Telegraph Company's headquarters, with your name at the end."

"Fortunately, although I wasn't at head office, I had received relevant instructions... More importantly, I had just had a Radio Transceiver installed at home."

Sulu replied with a smile.

Otherwise, even if he had the ability to Spirit World Travel, he would only be able to collect Rhode's corpse if he got there.

"As for what comes next, traversing worlds and eliminating those ants, that's just my ability..."

"Your abilities?"

Rhode still felt a little dizzy.

"Yes, I've reached the fifth rank... and gained the ability to Spirit World Travel."

Sulu shrugged.

Rhode ' expression was completely blank. "This is legendary... Why do you give me the impression that you just went out and bought a sandwich?"

"Heh... maybe."

Sulu responded with a smile.

Rhode was obviously joking.

He knew that his younger brother must have gone through some terrible ordeal to break through to the fifth rank and return from the place where Rogo's Adventurer Gate had teleported him.

"Alright, now we need to talk more about your problem. You... have turned to the path of the [Fallen]?"

Sulu served Beatrice a glass of soda.

"She..."

Rhode glanced at the maid.

"Don't worry, she's trustworthy... for now." Sulu nodded.

"Well... indeed, my faith was never strong to begin with, and after that incident, I thought you were dead or would never come back, therefore..."

Rhode said, "Fortunately, Ms. Anfei saved me, and I discovered that as long as the [Fallen] are determined enough, although they will be affected to some extent, they can still endure it."

"A conscious form of depravity?"

Sulu smiled. "It seems the Church and family have been hiding a lot. Unfortunately, once your condition is discovered, we'll be in trouble."

Compared to the Church of the Goddess of Light, the Black Death Society is nothing, and the Black Light Organization is not even an ant.

"Yes..."

Rhode remained silent. He knew that if his news got out, some Witch Hunter were not determined or felt that they would have difficulty breaking through to the fifth rank would have some crooked ideas!

The path of the Fallen is easier than that of the Witch Hunter, and it even comes with legendary-level class information!

The number of "Fallen in the world might increase several times over in an instant.

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. The Church's higher-ups and the higher-ranking Demon should be well aware of this matter... but the Church is keeping it under wraps, and even the legendary Demon are too lazy to spread it... because according to the Church's propaganda, nothing they say can be trusted; they're just trying to tempt you into corruption..."

"But if you were to try it yourself, how many Witch Hunter would dare to risk their lives?"

Sulu shrugged.
