Chapter 427: Chapter 285 Three’s Company_3

Anna covered her mouth, feeling incredulous.

"Why? How can you be such a disaster?"

Mephit didn’t answer. She triggered the curse, and a silvery-white shimmer ran down her hair, the silvery moonlight emerging from her eyes. Her skin turned as pure white as jade, her features becoming as stunningly beautiful as a celestial being.

Anna recognized her at once.

"The Ominous one! You are the Ominous one!"

Instinctively, she flinched, trying to shake Mephit off, but Rod stopped her.

"Don’t do that."

Rod barked.

"She is also one of my best partners. The partner of a partner is a partner."

"But she..."

Rod said sternly,"Anna, if you trust me, then you should trust her, don’t believe the rumors."

Over time, one victory after another had deeply embedded Rod’s authority in people’s hearts.

And for Anna, the memories of fighting side by side with Rod had become the most sacred recollections at the bottom of her heart.

Her anger just now was not because he touched her inappropriately; Rod had already touched her countless times when he rode her before.

She was angry only because he slandered her.

But she could accept anything else, so she quickly convinced herself that what she had heard before was just rumors and what Rod said was the truth.

"Sorry, I was deceived."

Anna said earnestly.

"That must have been rumors spread by the Doomsday believers to strike and divide Trolian, Rod’s companion can’t be a murderer, a liar, a person of ill omen, a destroyer."

Rod gave her a tap, "Do you really have to say every word."

Anna made a face at him from the side.

"Alright, alright, I know you care about her. The whole Star Town knows their great hero has fallen in love. If someone loved me that much, I wouldn’t care about being labeled trash."

Rod frowned, "What do you mean fallen in love? This is just friendly interaction between partners to deepen our bonds so we can unleash 200% of our power in battle. Right, Mephit? Am I not friendly?"

Mephit said lightly, "You would be very friendly if your hands didn’t wander."

Anna sympathized.

"Exactly, this guy loves to touch others inappropriately."

Rod retorted, "It was just my hand slipping by accident. How can you describe me, a gentleman, as if I were a lecherous man?"

Anna rolled her eyes, "You really have no shame."

Mephit unusually chimed in, "Right."

Rod wisely did not continue.

"Ah, the night sky is so beautiful tonight, is this the moment when the stars twinkle?"

"Indeed," Anna sighed softly, "It’s only at times like this that I feel we truly live in this world."

The three fell silent for a moment as the night sky glowed especially brightly, and even the Black Fog seemed to thin out.

Looking up, one could faintly see the twinkling stars in the boundless night sky. The distant and mysterious starlight was extraordinarily beautiful, with the silver starlight piercing through the fog, much like the afternoon sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting specks of light.

Even the terrifying environment with rolling Black Fog became enchanting.

Anna sighed softly, "It would be nice to have weather like this all the time."

Rod laughed, "Maybe there’s hope for that in the future."

Anna rolled her eyes, "Do you really think you’re the Savior?"

Rod shrugged.

"Who knows?"

Anna humphed and closed her mouth, swallowing back the words she was about to say.

Even though there were many stronger and more incredible prodigies in the Royal City, at that moment, she believed Rod was the best.

She ran with focus, quickly reaching an incredible speed.

Under the wondrous night, her silhouette flashed by like a wisp of mist, swiftly arriving at the Isone Ruins.

Beneath the specks of starlight, dark and ominous shadows lurked everywhere in the enormous ruins, radiating an indescribable eeriness and danger.

Anna said, "This is the edge of the Isone Ruins. It’s said that this was once the site of the Starry Kingdom’s strongest weapon of war — The Star Fortress, intended to turn the tide of the Sunset Battle. But they ultimately failed, and with the destruction of the Star Fortress, the Fire Epoch officially ended, and the world plunged into darkness."

Rod exclaimed in surprise, "There’s such a story?"

Anna glanced at him.

"You didn’t know this? This is a classic question from the ’History of Human Rise and Fall,’ how did you graduate?"

Rod honestly replied, "I didn’t graduate."

Anna covered her face.

"Sorry, I always forget you didn’t even finish the first year, sniff sniff, to be ridden by a junior, how shameful."

Rod said flatly, "Little girl, mind your words. Besides, I just look a bit young on the outside, my mental age is much older than yours, you can call me big brother, I can handle it."

Anna and Mephit said in unison, "Shameless!"

Rod resolved in his heart that he definitely couldn’t let these two girls get together in the future.

He dismounted and began assigning tasks.

"Mephit, you draw out the monsters. Be careful, avoid the Chaos Demon; I’ll go and find it myself."

Mephit nodded slightly, her figure lightened, and she vanished behind the fog in the blink of an eye.

"Anna, you watch from the side. As soon as Mephit finishes the task, carry her and leave this place as fast as you can, and don’t look back. I’ll set off a super explosion to kill all the drawn monsters."

Anna said worriedly, "But what about you?"

Rod laughed, "Don’t worry, I have teleportation abilities."

Anna nodded, whispering, "Good luck, Rod."

Rod waved his hand and also turned to walk into the dusky Isone Ruins.

Under the specks of starlight, only Anna was left alone.
