But just before that, as a final farewell, Rhode decides to fight the most powerful BOSS in the game with his guildmates. In the end, he defeats the BOSS at the expense of his avatar's life.

<p>Angelina's return captured everyone's attention instantly. Even though she didn't have a high standing in Rhode's group, as she went to the Country of Darkness to gather intelligence, everyone was excited for the news she brought back. However, they didn't know what went wrong and why she didn't return for a long time. Even when Rhode summoned her, there was no response. Everyone thought Angelina was locked up somewhere. At the sight of her return, they were bewildered. But even though they were interested in the intelligence she gathered, Rhode ordered Angelina to shower and get a change of clothes before reporting her findings. Angelina felt really grateful for this act by him and this left a better impression on her instantly. Of course, if Angelina knew that Rhode didn't give a damn about her earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have thought of him this way.</p>
