Chapter 225

"Gaaaa —!!!"

Perhaps sensing the threat of death, the half-human, half-centipede monster finally let out a panicked roar.

Seeing that Rosie was wielding the dazzling holy sword like a goddess descending from the heavens, the monster made a last-ditch effort.

Boom!

Since its body was bound by the ground, the monster could only spit out dragon's breath, which was the most powerful dragon's breath it had seen so far. Like a scorching waterfall, it blasted towards Rosie.

Rosie stared at the huge dragon's breath, but she was extremely calm. Not only did she not dodge, but she also rushed towards it.

Shing!

The holy sword's radiance spread to Rosie's body.

Hum!

The protective radiance also shone brightly.

Under the protection of the [Heroic Spirit Guard], Rosie could already resist the dragon's breath to a certain extent. Now that she had the holy sword's power, the damage on her body was reduced by more than half, and the monster's dragon's breath could no longer pose any threat to Rosie.

Thus, like a stream of light flowing against the waterfall, Rosie broke through the scorching dragon's breath and rushed towards the monster.

"Slash!"

In the next second, Rosie raised the holy sword and attached the [Demonic Sword] to the blade.

What was worth mentioning was that after the [Demonic Sword]'s radiance merged with the holy power of the holy sword, it turned into a dazzling gold.

The golden [Demonic Sword] exploded from the holy sword, and Rosie slashed it down, piercing through the monster's head and coming out from the end of its centipede-like body. Like a beam of light, it instantly slashed through the monster's entire body.

"— —"

The monster's roar came to an abrupt stop.

Thud!

Amidst the clear sound of footsteps, Rosie, who was holding the dazzling holy sword, landed on the ground. With her back facing the monster, she slowly withdrew all the mana in her body.

Behind her, the monster stiffened and did not move for a long time. After a long time, a thin line appeared in the middle of its body.

With that thin line as the center, the monster's body split into two halves, one on the left and the other on the right. They slid in two completely opposite directions and fell to the ground.

Bam …

A neat roar sounded as the monster fell to the ground.

The monster that was split into two just fell to the ground, stirring up dust and gravel, and no longer moved.

"Phew …"

Rosie exhaled, turned around, and looked at Shien.

Shien held the holy sword in one hand and gave Rosie a thumbs up with the other.

"You're still the coolest."

Shien made a somewhat incompetent comment.

Rosie immediately rolled her eyes and ignored Sean, who was mocking her. She resealed the holy sword and approached him.

"You just used a spell, right?" Rosie came to Sean and said in surprise, "So this is the magic you chose in the library?"

"Why?" Sean blinked his eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you?"

"No!" Rosie retorted. "When I asked you what system of magic you chose, not only did you not tell me, you even pretended to tell me. I will know in the future."

"Yes." Shien did not feel embarrassed at all. "Don't you know now?"

"You …" Rosie could not help but pat Shien's chest, and then said, "But, this spell is quite suitable for you. It's very versatile, and only people with outstanding magic can really bring out its effect. It's almost like it was tailor-made for you."

"Come on, you're a guy who was born with enough magic to shake the Realm of Gods. You have no right to talk about me." Shien did not think much of it, but then he asked curiously, "Speaking of which, your magic is so strong, why don't you learn magic?"

Rosie's skills were all in the Warrior System. At most, she had magic enhancement and magic recovery skills. She did not have any magic related skills.

"With such strong magic, wouldn't it be a pity not to learn magic?"

That was what Shien thought.

But Rosie did not think so.

"Almost all the heroes in the past were melee Warriors because their strongest weapon was the holy sword. Since it's a sword, can you still use the holy sword as a staff and become a mage?" Rosie said, "Although there are some heroes who are proficient in magic, since they already have the holy sword, instead of using skill points to upgrade magic skills, it's better to focus on Warrior skills. That way, they can upgrade as many skills as possible and become stronger as quickly as possible."

A person's skill points were limited. If they cultivated magic, they would have to invest a lot of skill points into magic skills, causing the progress of their Warrior skills to fall behind.

Although this would also allow her to use more magical techniques and increase her strength, Rosie believed that the Holy Sword was her greatest weapon. She was destined to be a close-combat Warrior since she used the Holy Sword, so it was better for her to invest all her Skill Points into Warrior Skills.

"Moreover, learning magic is too boring, and I have to spend a lot of time researching. I'm already very busy, so I don't want to spend extra time without rest."

Rosie said this very seriously, and Sean rolled his eyes in return.

"Alright, you make sense, you silly princess." Shien changed the topic and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go take a look at that monster."

"Okay." Rosie nodded and said in a low voice, "I've never seen that kind of monster. It's strange and strange, but it's also so strong. We have to bring its body back and let the people in the Magic Research Department analyze it."

As the two talked, they came to the front of the monster that was cut in half and looked at it.

But just by looking at it, Shien and Rosie were shocked.

"Chi …"

The monster's corpse suddenly emitted smoke, as if it was burned to ashes by an invisible flame. Even its body became illusory and gradually swayed. In the end, like a real mirage, it disappeared.

"This …"

Shien looked at this scene and was stunned.

"It's gone?"

Rosie was also shocked.

The two of them stared at the empty ground and did not come back to their senses for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, they looked at each other and fell into a state of silence.

The unusual situation made the two of them feel at a loss.

"This is great, the body just evaporated."

Shien murmured as if it had nothing to do with him.

"How could this be?"

Rosie also frowned deeply.

Even if the monster had a semi-physical nature, it should not have disappeared after it was killed, right?

Although monsters without physical bodies would also vanish after being defeated, they would usually leave behind something similar to a core after they disappeared. It would not be like this, where they would completely disappear.

What was going on?

Shien and Rosie kept thinking in silence and could not speak for a long time.
