Summoning The Holy Sword's
Chapter 1

Dark clouds shrouded the sky, followed by darkness and chaos descending to the earth. Spiral stone stairs, bloody corpses, armory, weapons – are all so chaotic and gloomy, carrying the scent of death and danger.

Rhode took a deep breath, but he could not feel the cold, bloody air. Anyway, it's just a game. He shook his head and turned to look at his comrades sitting on the ground not far from him. Right now, they were resting quietly, recovering their own strength and repairing their own weapons. On the surface, it was no different from his usual day, but Rhode knew that this fight was definitely not as easy as before.

"How many survived?"

He asked in a low voice.

Hearing this question, his comrades looked at each other. Then a skinny witch stood up.

"Union leader, report! There were ninety-six people left. The Void Dragon Dungeon is even more dangerous than we imagined. Many of our brothers are still left in the traps before. Fortunately we still have a variety of classes left . "

"That's great . "

Rhode. He didn't say anything more, so the others fell silent as well.

If it was an ordinary guild, they would have lost their courage long ago and would have fallen into chaos. After all, what they were about to face was the most powerful, most terrifying, and one of the most elite bosses in this game, the unconquered Void Dragon. It was the last boss of the Third Chapter in the Dragon Soul Continent Online. Currently, it was known as the most terrifying existence. Facing such a fight, an ordinary guild would need to organize at least ten parties to challenge him. But now, the Rhode guild was only left with ninety-six people, which was obviously not enough. However, there was not the slightest panic in their eyes, only calmness, confidence, and trust.

The person they trusted with the life of their avatar was currently standing not far from the stairs in front of them. He looked up at the sky with a face full of fortitude. Cold scars could be found on his eyebrows, which fascinated people. A shining magic armor covered his mighty body as if it was a powerful fortress that would never fall.

Of course, it was not because of his dignified outer appearance that made others trust the man in front of them. No matter how strong he looked, it was only an avatar design, and the scar on his eyebrows was only a cosmetic item.

The real factor was the countless achievements and prestigious titles behind it.

The first player to top the ranking of all professional players.

The first player to be recognized as the top player of the most difficult-to-play class, the 'Spirit Swordsman. '

Since the First Chapter of 'Dragon Soul Continent Online: The Coming Darkness', he had led the guild by relying solely on his own abilities. His frightening level of familiarity towards the other classes had helped him sweep through the three quarterly leaderboards and defeat all bosses in the first kill as the guild leader. All of his basement videos would be reproduced by many players. He was worshipped as a holy teacher, and he was the Dragon Soul Continent.1 guild leader – Rhode.

He had personally conquered 'The Coming Darkness', and paved the way to the Second Chapter, 'The Turbulent Era'. Then, he conquered 'The Turbulent Era', and arrived at 'The Void Trial'. And now, he would once again use his own hands to end 'The Void Trial'. However, the new era would no longer be opened by him alone.

How many years has it been?

Rhode averted his gaze from the distant lightning in the sea of clouds and asked himself.

Ever since the death of his sister, he had been in the Dragon Soul Continent for seven years, and in the past seven years, to force himself to forget the pain of the past, he had been living in the past, he has repeatedly set many impossible goals for himself and has achieved them over and over again. At that moment, it brought him great joy and glory, which slowly alleviated the deep pain in his heart.

However, it will stop here.

A month ago, Rhode's parents had traveled abroad. Unfortunately, their plane flew into a storm and crashed, killing them both instantly. Rhode could not remember what call he received, and how he felt upon hearing the news. Now, he has made the decision to leave the game and return to real life. This was not only for his own parents, but also for his own sake. He himself was very clear that it was time for him to change.

"Lea ... leader?"

A timid voice rang out, disturbing the flashback. He looked up and saw there was a shy female magician who had raised her hand from the crowd, her eyes shining towards him.

"Is .... are you really going?"

"Yes nih . "

Rhode. Then he began to control his complicated emotions. He shook his head and looked at his friends; these were all his memories and achievements for seven years, they were comrades who had fought with him for the past seven years. However, soon, he would finally leave them. Even though it was only in the game, even with small hand movements, he could feel what others wanted to do to some extent. After taking off the game helmets and returning to reality, it seemed like he would not be able to recognize them.

"My resume was sent yesterday. I look forward to finding the company that will take me."

"If I receive the guild leader's resume, I will arrange you directly as the department manager, rest assured!"

A knight waved the sword in his hand. His words also livened up the dull atmosphere earlier and made everyone laugh.

"Thank you for your kindness. Unfortunately, I didn't write my game experience on my resume. As you know, our guild has many enemies. If your resume is received by people from other guilds, then my life will be over. "

Rhode also smiled and replied. After which, he coughed with a serious expression.

"I think we all know how we've overcome these last years."

Hearing him, the people who were laughing earlier shut their mouths and started listening to his words.

"We also know that on the forums, there are a lot of people who accuse us and say that we broke the balance of the game, monopolized all the first boss murders, and made the word 'competition' lose its meaning … Frankly, they're not wrong, but … "

Rhode suddenly clenched his fists and swung them forcefully.

"But this is what we do! We are the strongest guild, we are the strongest party! We have power! Then we have to do it, rob it! The other Guilds were not strong enough, therefore their own problems were to be defeated. If their strength is enough, they should be able to compete with us. We monopolize the first murder boss not by relying on orthodox methods, positions or flattery from gaming companies. What we rely on is our own strength! We never give up, we never admit defeat, we will never slack, so what we have now is what we deserve. Quite simple. "

Rhode stopped, then continued.

"I like this guild. I will also miss the time we spent together for seven years together, but in this world, all good things will come to an end. I have to go to find the purpose of my life, but I will never forget everyone, nor will I forget the guild, which carries my most painful memories, but also the happiest. I will remember Starlight forever. "

Rhode said as he pointed at his head.

"Many people say that if I leave the guild, the guild will not be able to survive. I know that there are many guilds who heard about me leaving and are now busy honing their weapons to destroy our guild after I left, However, they have underestimated us. Dragon Soul Continent Online is not a game with only me in it. I can't set up a guild myself. I can't make a party myself, and it's impossible for me to take the first boss killed by myself. That is why I hope that after I leave, you can all give those people the reason why this guild is so powerful … "

"Because we have the ability of – the ability to bring our guild to first rank with our own strength!"

"Yes!"

"No problem, leader!"

"Give it to us. When the time comes, we will give the perfect answer to those idiots!"

Hearing everyone's answer, Rhode nodded, then he turned to the right side of the crowd.

"Old Liu."

After hearing Rhode's voice, the skinny witch walked out of the crowd and came to his side. Rhode looked at the mage in front of him calmly for a moment, then took out his guild token and placed it in his hand.

[System Notice: Transfer Guild Leadership, Transfer Party Leadership]

"The next one is yours."

Rhode let go of his hand. His voice was very calm, without the slightest change.

"No problem, Rhode."

The witch nodded, but soon, she spoke again.

"Well, as the new guild leader and as party leader, I order you to lead everyone one last time."

"Old Liu?"

Hearing this answer, Rhode could only frown. The skinny witch simply smiled and patted Rhode on the shoulder.

"You're the one who started this era, and you're the one who should have ended it too, Rhode. This is how it should be."

"…"

Rhode fell silent; he looked towards his companions who were not far away. At that moment, they were ready and were waiting for his orders as usual.

Then Rhode raised his sword, pointing it forward.

"Ready!!"

As expected, the Void Dragon was extremely powerful

Rhode had fought against almost all the higher level BOSSES in the Dragon Soul Continent and even included other setups in the Dragon Soul Continent, but none of them were as troublesome as the Void Dragon in front of him. The attack pattern is more complex, almost random. The damage was several times higher than an ordinary boss. It goes without saying that his speed, response, and even defense were all S-class levels.

Huff. . . ! What a difficult opponent to conquer. . .

Rhode held his sword and clenched his teeth, watching the monster before him. The fight had reached its peak, and he was the only survivor. Nevertheless, Rhode's HP was almost empty; the fiery red warnings in his retina constantly reminded him that his vitality had reached a limit.

So what if it was the Void Dragon?

As they looked at each other's HP, it could be seen that the dragon's eyes were filled with hatred. Suddenly, Rhode had a very strange feeling; he seemed to be able to sense the emotions of the dragon. As the most powerful and invincible boss of the game, now actually falling into such a situation, it must have felt really bad.

Then, I'll go with you.

Thinking that, Rhode raised his left hand.

Accompanied by the cries of the birds, Rhode's sword suddenly spouted flames. It turned into a towering Fire Bird, with its head turned upside down, it dashed towards the Void Dragon. Facing a direct attack from Rhode, the Void Dragon roared menacingly. It raised its front legs high and smashed forward.

"!!!"

Suddenly, Rhode felt his body tremble violently. A powerful force was building when the Fire Bird cried out in grief and disappeared immediately. But before it disappeared, it created a powerful explosion that managed to connect with the Void Dragon. The Void Dragon that was originally waving claws failed due to the explosion and the claw was suddenly torn apart.

After a while, an empty door opened.

Rhode bit his teeth. The flashing red alert now in red was even deeper, reminding him that the damage he had suffered had reached a critical point. But it's not in control anymore. This was the last chance; he would win or perish trying. He raised the sword in his hand, rushing forward. However the Void Dragon had also managed to recover. He snarled and once again tried to thrust his claws. At the same time, Rhode also threw out the sword in his hand.

Lightning, activate!

The sword turned into a bright light, piercing through the dragon chest. Rhode was completely focused on looking at him — saw the light that pierced through the Void Dragon claws that tore through the scales of the dragon's body easily.

The Void Dragon roared in pain; afterwards, a huge dragon claw smashed into Rhode's body.

The red in front of him had deflected his entire field of vision, Rhode could no longer be in front of him, but in a corner, the system prompt could be seen clearly as usual.

[Congratulations to the Starlight Guild that has obtained the first BOSS assassination in the Void Dragon Dungeon. The eternal evil has been destroyed. ]

[Character has received fatal damage and will die soon]

Finally ended.

As he observed the prompt system, Rhode revealed a pleasant smile.

And at this moment, suddenly, a bright light shone on it, deflecting it to the usual respawn platform.

At that moment, a pure white light surged and pierced through the dark sky, scattering the dark clouds and left behind.

The players who had already respawned quickly rushed towards the respawning platform. Even the other players around the world who were angry that Starlight had once again broken the record, came. They all stared at the platform quietly, waiting for Rhode to appear.

But at the top of their screen, a system announcement flashed.

[System Notice: Player 'Rhode' goes offline]

A legendary player who had conquered three eras disappeared just like that.
