“A mail was received in your guild mailbox.”

The ice-cold, electronic sound crossed the distance of space and reached Rhode’s ears in an instant. And after hearing the system prompt, Rhode, Canary, Mini Bubble Gum, and Icy Snow were shocked. It wasn’t that the notification came like a bolt out of the blue, but that they were too confused.

The guild mailbox was a special mean of distributing messages within the guild and could be considered a type of group chat. In the guild, whenever Rhode needed to gather men, he would send a group message and everyone would receive it. However, after arriving in the Dragon Soul Continent, he didn’t touch the guild mailbox at all.

Firstly, no one else had this function. And secondly, he could summon those who were connected to him directly by using spiritual communication, so over time, he didn’t bother with it. And for that reason, they were at a loss after hearing the system prompt and only reacted after a good while.

“… Big Brother! It’s a message from Big Sister Orchid Heart! She said all of Chaos is retreating and they’ve begun setting up Plane Destruction Bombs!”

“Big Sister Heart?! Holy cr*p! I didn’t even know this trick existed!”

At that moment, Mini Bubble Gum returned to her senses and shouted in excitement. In fact, there was a bug in the setting of the guild mailbox that wasn’t supposedly a bug. And that was the mailbox itself. Because in the setting, the guild mailbox was something that everyone in the guild would possess. Not only could it be used to send and receive guild information, but it also served as a personal mailbox.

But it was also where some players noticed a problem: whenever one sent out mails to all guild members, no matter where the recipients were, even in places like the arena where communication with the outside world was strictly forbidden, they would still receive the message. However, the cool-down period for sending out one guild mail was three hours and the content of each mail itself couldn’t exceed 30 words. That was why this bug wasn’t really of much use, and as a matter of fact, the authorities never bothered about it.

On the contrary, players discussed with great relish about the principles of the guild mailbox. There were even some who claimed that the guild mailbox might be some kind of spatial projection, and the mailbox everyone possessed was an independent product located in a mysterious space or whatnot… But no matter what, it was awesome news for Rhode’s group that they received this mail despite losing contact with the outside world due to Chaos’s disruption.

“Everyone, retreat! Canary, have all members of the first and second warships board the third warship now! We’re leaving!”

Rhode gave his orders immediately. He had his means to deal with Chaos and wasn’t that foolish to send his men to the grave. After hearing his orders, members of the first and second warships gathered and boarded the third warship swiftly. Immediately afterwards, they witnessed Rhode waving his wings abruptly, and in a deafening dragon’s roar, the two magic warships in front of them exploded with unprecedented power that whistled ahead. Upon seeing the two magic warships charging toward them, the Chaos creatures pounced immediately, identifying them as the main targets of the attack.

Of course, he wouldn’t let the Chaos creatures annihilate his bait so effortlessly. The reason why he led the three magic warships here was to attract the attention of Chaos. He knew that there was no way to get rid of the relentless Chaos creatures, so his initial plan was to send all three magical warships straight into the core as sacrifices, while the rest climbed on his body and left together with him.

After all, the Void Dragon that reverted its original form was enormous enough that a mere two to three hundred men wouldn’t take up much space on his body. But now, after learning from Orchid Heart that Chaos retreated, Rhode changed his plan and left the third magic warship behind. Thus, even if something unexpected happened during the evacuation, it would serve as a backup.

At that moment, when he witnessed the Chaos creatures swarm frantically toward the two magic warships that he used as baits, he raised his head and let out a fierce growl. Soon after, violent, tyrannical, and invisible airwaves burst ahead and repelled the Chaos creatures. But in the face of the Void Dragon’s overwhelming pressure, the Chaos creatures lunged forward crazily instead of retreating. Rhode’s response made them aware of the approaching danger. In a series of continuous flashes, the surging power of Chaos struck the Order barrier that Rhode created like a wild storm.

This was exactly what Rhode wanted to see. The best thing about the Chaos creatures was that they didn’t have any priorities. As soon as they identified their target, they wouldn’t turn back. At that moment, Rhode merely baited the Chaos creatures and they swarmed forward like a cat being teased, attacking the two magic warships in a frenzy.

After Rhode withdrew the Order barrier enveloping the two magical warships, the crazy influx of Chaos creatures surrounding the two magical warships in front of them were immediately like hooked fish. But at that moment, Rhode didn’t turn around to leave immediately. Instead, he closed his large wings and wrapped himself and the rest around him.

“Everyone get ready!”

Upon hearing his scream, everyone was shocked. Cassidy lifted and withdrew her sword abruptly, erecting the scabbard in front her. Along with this action, a barrier made up of hexagonal crystals shrouded her entirely. At the same time, Marybelle raised her wand and tapped the air gently. Shortly after, the void around her rippled like flowing water, wrapping around her and Alice.

Not only them, but Mini Bubble Gum also raised her hands high and chanted a mysterious spell in a soft voice. Along with her chant, a string of golden runes shone and emerged from her hands, protecting her, Icy Snow, and Canary. The magical warship beneath their feet also emanated an extraordinary halo of protection. The multicolored halo swirled and spread out constantly, forming a translucent barrier over its massive hull.

The crowd lowered their heads and assumed a defensive stance in unison. At that moment, the dense, omnipresent Chaos creatures snarled and charged forward, attempting to devour all of them.

The world of Chaos seemed to return to its original state once more, while the earlier troublemakers were gone completely. However, it was only for an instant. At the next moment, a bright, dazzling white light penetrated the densely-packed Chaos creatures and exploded outward. Immediately afterward, the explosion that resounded throughout the space and erupted blinding radiance scattered in all directions.

“———!”

For the first time, the Chaos Core felt threatened. It let out an ear-piercing bellow and the blood vessels connected to the surrounding trembled wildly. Soon, another burst of thick, pitch-black fog sprayed out from its body. But unfortunately, it was too late.

The power of the Plane Destruction Bombs tore through the limits of space and time mercilessly. The Chaos creatures didn’t even put up a fight and were completely caught in the cracks in space. Even though there was an infinite number of them, they were meaningless in the turbulence of broken space.

In a mere blink of an eye, the Chaos creatures that swarmed the magical warship were swept away. But this wasn’t enough to stop the collapse of space. The originally-empty space now seemed to have turned into a tangible entity, peeling away in layers and extending in all directions like a smashed mirror. And within the breach, a deep purple light surged and devoured everything wantonly.

Void storm!

“Retreat! Leave them to their own demise!”

Rhode, who successfully detonated two Plane Destruction Bombs, turned around to guard the others and flew away instantly. The void storm was his trump card and not even Chaos could ignore its power. Although he didn’t know if the Chaos Core had a way to handle this move from him, there was only a dead end for him if he continued staying there. Hence, he reached out his claws, seized the last magical warship, and soared to the opening he had entered from.

The attractive force of the void storm was really strong, so much so that despite Rhode using all his strength, he could still feel the powerful suction of the void storm behind him. Moreover, the size of the Void Dragon was so huge that it was also under a considerable degree of pressure. Although he tried his best, he was only able to resist the void storm’s tearing. The others, on the other hand, laid on his back and couldn’t do anything apart from gnashing their teeth and waiting helplessly.

“Leader, you can do it! You can definitely get away at times like this like those Hollywood blockbusters! Don’t be a letdown to the theme!”

While gripping onto Rhode’s scales, Mini Bubble Gum didn’t forget to encourage him… Just that it was an entirely different matter as to whether or not it was effective.

“If you have time for nonsense, why don’t you watch my back for me!”

Dodging the Chaos creatures that were dragged away and torn apart by the void storm, Rhode didn’t forget to criticize her. The power of the void storm was indeed too strong, where even several Chaos Lords were pulled into it without a fight before being shredded into nothingness. Although he didn’t know if his ‘space’ attribute as the Void Dragon would be effective against the void storm, it was apparent that he didn’t intend to experience it himself.

But unfortunately, blessings never came in pairs, and misfortune didn’t come singly. While Rhode struggled against the void storm, Canary screamed all of a sudden.

“Rhode! The gap is closing!”

“What?!”

Upon hearing her words, Rhode was bewildered. He lifted his head and looked up hurriedly, only to see the gap where they came in from slowly shrinking!
