The Last Dark King

Latest website: Carrying too many heavy hopes is also a burden.

Unlike when he was just starting out, Rhodes had already deeply felt the power of the black mist. Those existences silent in the depths of the black mist were not as easy to defeat as ordinary monsters.

A Queen of Stars almost punched through Trollian's coffin.

If the Queen of Stars had not used the power of the star source to preserve her spirit, then they would have most likely been met with a disastrous defeat.

No one dares to imagine what kind of enemy the Queen of Stars would be, having completely fallen into darkness, possessing the most powerful source of stars, devouring the seeds of the Holy Fire, and having been silent for thousands of years in the original black mist.

Looking back now, it is no wonder that the Priest of the Main Star said that this battle was difficult when he learned that none of them had king-level combat power.

It turns out it’s difficult, if not impossible, to do so.

According to the inferences of scholars, the Queen of Stars had most likely taken that step before she fell into darkness, or at least was close to that level.

Unfortunately, they did not have time to verify this. After awakening the queen and killing the strange shadow, the battle came to an end.

Rhodes is currently a level 12 psychic, and he has to reach at least level 14 before he can hope to become the Herrscher.

The most troublesome thing is that he is in a special situation, and he still doesn't know how to meet the standards of the Herrscher.

"It's still too weak."

Rhodes thought.

"I want to be stronger, gain more divinity, ignite more stars, and find more dream fragments."

"With my superhuman qualifications and invincible wisdom, I will definitely not fail like my predecessor."

Rhodes made up his mind and stopped thinking about it. He held his head high and acknowledged the honor he deserved, and strode outside the Holy Fire Sacrifice.

The Holy Fire Sacrifice Site in Star City is huge, but fortunately due to the existence of the Queen of Stars, there are no monsters or pollution, and the transformation by production and construction personnel went very smoothly.

The main structure of the sacrificial site itself is solidified by spiritual energy and is very hard. Under the command of many construction masters, it has become a fortress for humans in Star City.

The area they cleared when they came was the only supply line to the outside world.

Support and supplies are continuously sent to the Holy Fire Sacrifice along this road.

At Molly's suggestion, Rhodes sent some combatants to protect along the way to ensure the smooth flow of the route.

Especially sewer areas.

This is the most troublesome. There are the most monsters remaining in the sewer, and the pollution is also the most serious.

The final extraction of Weird Shadow did not seem to have much impact on the sewers.

Rhodes went out this time to cooperate with other high-level combatants to thoroughly clean the sewers and ensure the safety of material transportation and personnel.

Amid greetings along the way, Rhodes stepped out of the Holy Fire Sacrifice for the first time in several days.

The holes on the wall of the sacrificial site are still there, the surrounding monsters have been cleaned up, and even the broken Star Avenue has been repaired. It is surrounded by patrolling soldiers and busy staff.

This ancient royal city has not had the breath of so many living creatures for 1,500 years.

"Good day, Your Excellency Son of Fire."

"Black rice bucket never fails!"

…

Damn it, I must change this disgusting nickname in the future!

Rhodes gritted his teeth and thought, waving in response with a smile.

Following the path they had come in, they returned to the sewer.

Guardians Churchill and Hayate are waiting for him here.

"Brother Rhodes, you are finally here!"

Churchill gave him a bear hug as soon as he came up, and his strong arms buried Rhodes' entire body into his chest.

"I can't wait any longer. What have you done? It's a quarter of an hour later than scheduled."

Rhodes said vaguely: "The king's special envoy came, which delayed a little time."

Churchill laughed and said, "I knew you had become the eighth Son of Fire! You are indeed the person I valued at the beginning."

"Be the preparer."

Rhodes corrected.

"Not officially a Son of Fire yet."

Churchill patted him hard on the shoulder and staggered him with his big palm.

"That's pretty much it. Who doesn't know that there is only one preparer? As long as you enter the realm of the Herrscher and become a special combatant, you can immediately put on the cloak of the Son of Fire... The existence of the preparer is only to prepare for the Seat of Ashes. Hot, otherwise you would become a son of fire without the blessing of the power of ashes, how bad it would be..."

"However, there are very few people who have locked onto the Seat of Ashes so early. Apart from Misha, it's you."

Rhodes glanced at him in surprise: "Misha?"

"yes."

Churchill rubbed his unshaven chin.

"That girl is an unprecedented super genius. She is the only person after Alan who has received the focus of the White Tower. Her existence has exceeded the concept of a new star, so you have not come into contact with her. We once regarded her as ours. Savior."

Rhodes' interest was suddenly piqued. He originally thought that Misha, the King of Thunder, was an old woman, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be a girl.

"What happened next? Was she no longer the savior?"

Churchill explained: "You can't say that, it's just that she encountered some difficulties and her growth was not as fast as before."

"Did she grow up quickly before?"

"soon."

"Faster than me?"

Churchill laughed and said, "Brother Rhodes, do you know? She is one year younger than you, and it only takes a year and a half to ignite the fire of her soul and become a fire bearer."

Rhodes was shocked: "Becoming a Son of Fire in a year and a half?"

"No, to be precise, it was half a year." Churchill corrected: "It only took her half a year for her psychic level to skyrocket from level one to level fourteen, and her characteristic 'Thunder Power' directly occurred in a quantified manner. , do you know how we felt at that time?"

He tilted his head towards Blast, who remained silent and kept a cold attitude. He didn't answer until Churcher asked.

"Shocked, disbelieving, unable to accept, confused thoughts, maybe the savior has arrived."

Churchill smiled and said: "Yes, that's pretty much it. She became the Son of Fire at the fastest speed. This has never happened before in Trorian's history of more than a thousand years."

"We thought she would become a super strong person who could face the true darkness as quickly as possible, but unfortunately, her soul could not adapt to such powerful spiritual energy, and she quickly fell into a deep sleep."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Is it because her psychic upgrade ceremony was not completed?"

Churchill shook his head: "No, her psychic ritual was flawless and there was no problem with her soul. It's just that her psychic power improved too fast and her soul's strength didn't keep up. Too strong a psychic power will always be consumed quickly. Even if her psychic powers are exhausted, her spirit cannot bear the level 14 psychic power, so she always falls into a deep sleep. She has to stay in a special environment all year round and only use special clones to fight when necessary."

Only then did Rhodes understand why she was always surrounded by thunder and lightning during the Battle of Star City and never spoke.

"but."

Churchill looked at Rhodes and smiled again.

"Brother Rhodes, although your growth is not as fast as hers, the Royal City's expectations for you are no worse than hers. They even locked the Seat of Ashes for you when you just became a guardian. This is unique. "

Hayate crossed his arms and said seriously and coldly: "After super geniuses like Alan and Misha, there are people like you who cannot be understood by common sense, and there are many people like Taylor and Jessica who are rare in a century. Many geniuses in the royal city believe that this is a sign that the age of fire is about to come back, and Rovia’s rebound theory is widely recognized. Everyone believes that the renaissance of mankind is coming."

"That's right!"

Churchill raised his hands and laughed wildly.

"I also think so. Humanity goes against the trend, rises in desperate situations, and recovers in ruins. It is up to us to break this endless black fog, this terrifying dark world!"

Amidst the hearty laughter, Rhodes said nothing and silently walked into the sewer.

He didn't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy. The words of the Queen of Stars and the words of the Priest of the Main Star always echoed in his mind.

It seems that everything is not going as smoothly as they thought, but they can't explain why.

After returning to the familiar environment, Rhodes' heart gradually calmed down, and a feeling of ease arose spontaneously.

He took the lead and walked deeper, and once again started cleaning the sewers.

Although the sewers in Star City are not as big as those in Trorian City, they are more complicated, and due to the collapse of some areas, the route has become more cumbersome.

But in front of Rhodes, none of this was a problem.

With his absolute understanding of sewers, he successfully cleared every branch line and solved the postman problem with a perfect path. In the messy sewers, he never got lost or repeated.

The monsters in the sewers of Starry Sky City are mainly corpse demons and evil ghosts, generally in the strong, mid-level and high-level.

After Rhodes' spiritual power reaches level 12, monsters of this level are no longer his match and can be killed instantly.

The large star shuttle with level 12 psychic power can basically be solved with one shot.

Even if he didn't die by luck, it would just be a matter of one more blow.

There are only a few monsters that are powerful and super-level, but they usually do not exceed the second level. They do not pose much of a threat to Rhodes and can be killed without too much effort.

What's more, Rhode's soul eyes can not only see far, but can also penetrate walls. Monsters have nowhere to hide. Not only can they not attack them, but they are always attacked by them.

It is for these reasons, coupled with his familiarity with the sewers, that Rhodes is able to run rampant here.

Churchill and Hayate were completely stunned, so they simply ignored the situation and focused on fighting.

Generally, individual monsters were killed by Rhodes in one strike. Only when they encountered a group of monsters did they have a chance to take action.

Churchill held a hammer and ax, and as soon as the power of the gods was unleashed, he rushed into the group of monsters and killed them randomly.

He is extremely powerful, with rough skin and thick flesh. The blue divine energy gives him powerful strength, defense and resistance. Monsters can't even scratch his skin. When the hammer and ax are turned, it is like a meat grinder. The monster was minced.

Nothing can stop him, he runs rampant among the monsters like a tiger among sheep.

On the other side, the blast turned invisible, and only the blue sword light could be seen flashing through the space.

Every time it flashes, a monster will be broken into two pieces.

The two were old comrades, and their cooperation was flawless. Coupled with Rhodes' powerful output, the monsters in the sewer were wiped out while talking and laughing.

It only took two to three hours for the entire sewer to be completely unblocked, and there were no longer any hidden dangers.

"You are worthy of being the king of sewers." Churchill praised: "As expected, I still have to leave it to you to deal with. What Hayate and I didn't finish in three days, you solved it as soon as you came."

The cold-blooded Sword Master Gale was also impressed by Rhodes: "I admit that your accomplishments in the sewers surpass mine."

You don't have to admit it in this regard, Rhode complained in his heart.

Although he repeatedly emphasized that he had nothing to do with sewers, apparently no one believed him.

He didn't bother to say more, so he drew a three-dimensional picture of the complete underground waterway and handed it to them, and then returned to the Holy Fire Sacrifice Site.

Cleaning the sewers was just an extra episode, not a strong request from them, and Rhodes didn't want to go at all.

So as not to fuel the rumors of the Sewer King.

However, the words of Churcher and Gale left a deep impression on Rhodes, and he asked in his mind:

"Shu, do you think what they say is possible? Is the fire really going to revive? Is humanity really going to rise again?"

The Book of Knowledge pondered for a long time and replied uncertainly: "I don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence. It's not like such a super genius has never appeared in human history."

Asa, who had completely turned into a piece of shit yellow, sneered from the side: "This is just your illusion. The black mist will swallow you one day, and nothing can save you."

Rhodes asked casually: "In that case, tell me the inside story of the Adventist Sect."

Asa said coldly: "You don't think I'm familiar with them, do you? The hatred between doomsday sects is no less than yours."

Rhodes shrugged: "I knew you wouldn't say it."

Asa was obviously angry, and his shit-yellow soul swelled obviously: "So what if I tell you? All the Advent sects are your high-level combatants. Their nostrils are turned to the sky, and they are extremely arrogant, but what is actually going on? It’s useless. Check your judge system and review system. Among them, there are the most traitors belonging to the Advent sect.”

Rhodes nodded. Justice Gregor belonged to the Advent sect. After him, almost all the justices in the royal city were wiped out, but he didn't expect that there are still maggots now.

He immediately wrote a letter to inform Wangcheng of the matter.

Asa sneered and continued to study his shit.

Then, the Book of Knowledge said: "Master, based on the stars I saw in the Square of Stars, there are still thirteen days until the stars shine. We must hurry up to obtain divinity. This is the last chance."

Rhodes asked casually: "How much divinity can we gain this time?"

"It's going to be a lot."

The book of knowledge kept turning the pages, looking very excited.

"More than we have ever obtained before. The battle of Starry Sky City was a complete victory, which brought us a huge amount of divinity. We are much more confident in surviving the invasion of the Soul Eater King!"

Rhodes looked at the obelisk, and on the omen surface, red words were flashing.

The invasion of the Soul Eater King was just two days after the stars shined.

The time is very near.

Rhodes has already felt the power of the king-level monster firsthand.

Whether it is the Priest of the Main Star or the Queen of the Stars, they are almost invincible existences.

But the Soul Eater King will fight him in Dreamland's home field, which gives Rhodes a chance to win.

During this time, I want to work on some more divinity.

Rhodes thought.

We must also quickly master more combat skills of extraordinary beings.

He became a guardian for a very short time. He took up the post as soon as his psychic ability reached the eleventh level. He did not know many of the combat skills of first-level combatants.

Once he masters these skills, his fighting ability can reach the next level.

"Owner."

When informing the Book of Knowledge of his thoughts, the doll suddenly said: "I can teach you the combat skills of extraordinary beings."

Rhodes asked in surprise: "Can you do it?"

"certainly."

A glimmer of light flashed in the doll's cloudy eyes.

"I am the battle servant of Dreamland."

The Book of Knowledge said unhappily: "Come on, Avro, your memory has not been fully restored yet, don't teach the master broken things."

There was a rare look of loss in the doll's eyes. It lowered its head and said softly: "I'm sorry, Master."

Rhodes waved his hand: "It's okay. I have masters to teach me. Wangcheng has sent many masters and instructors here. You can also observe their teachings and try to recover your memory."

At this time, the Book of the Future cautiously ran over from the corner and asked in a low voice:

"Master, can you give me a drop of star source? I feel it can restore my incomplete soul."

Rhodes frowned. A drop of star source is 8 points of divinity, and Wang Cheng is staring at this place eagerly.

Regarding the use and distribution rights of Xingyuan, they have already scheduled it to next year.

Of course, if he asked for it, Wang Cheng would not deny it, but losing 8 points of divinity was not something he could accept.

"The Book of the Future."

Rhodes thought for a moment and said, "I can promise you, but not now. During this period, it depends on your performance."

The Book of the Future shrank back with some disappointment.

The Book of Knowledge patted the cover with dissatisfaction: "What is this guy thinking about? Master, ignore him."

Rhodes did not answer. He was aware of the overt and covert fighting among these servants. In addition to the puppets appearing a little more aloof, everyone wanted to show off in front of him in order to gain the attention of the master, restore their souls earlier, and even restore their original self. face.

"Book, what are we going to do next?" Rhodes changed the subject.

The Book of Knowledge muttered: "Master, Dreamland is currently in the Sea of ​​Chaos. We must be careful to alert the Source Demon and Chaos Demon wandering in the Sea of ​​Chaos. Before defeating the invasion, Dreamland is not suitable for fighting. We do not need more souls for the time being, unless That soul has a source.”

Rhodes nodded. During the battle in Star City, he had acquired many powerful souls, and there would be no shortage of soul-related resources.

The only pity is that few of these souls have origins.

After the moment when the stars shine comes, he will gain a lot of divinity, but a source is needed to ignite the stars.

If there were one more star, there would be one more chance of victory in the battle.

The Book of Knowledge continued: "I will use the soulless soul to continue to repair and strengthen the dream. The King of Evil Ghosts has been resurrected. It has acquired some of the characteristics of the stars and has become more powerful, but it is not enough. It needs to swallow more The soul becomes stronger..."

The Book of the Future suddenly interjected: "Master, I have fed some, and I have verified that it is the most suitable soul for it. It is full and is sleeping. After it digests, you will see a brand new soul. The King of Evil Ghosts..."

The Book of Knowledge interrupted dissatisfiedly.

"Shut up, you don't need to say it...Master, it would be better if we could have more combat items. No amount of preparation is enough to fight against the king."

"In the end, it's still divinity. For every extra point of divinity, our winning rate will be one point higher."

Rhodes nodded and glanced at the top of the obelisk, which listed all his gains during this period.

Soul strength: 9682000

Soul Star: 11

Human nature: 22.19 million

Divinity: 20

Soulless soul: 2.1 billion

Inside the monument: None

Soul Altar: 12 extremely great souls, 51 great souls

Spirituality: 92,000

Source Energy: 37

Storage: 520,000 soul residues, 25 flowers of humanity, 7 soul firewood, 189 various soul trait blocks, 260 nightmare materials, omitted.

Special items: 7 Guardians of Darkness, 1 Twisted Scale, 1 Chaos Stone, 1 Flesh of Rebirth

——

This is all his trump card now.

Originally, there were only 13 points of divinity left. After a week, Dreamland gained 7 points of fixed divinity, leaving it with only 20 points.

On the soul altar, Rhodes sacrificed all the souls below the great soul.

Rhodes also plans to sacrifice the remaining souls at a suitable time.

There is no pity, it is not too difficult for him to plunder souls now.

The nightmare materials were obtained by Rhodes after killing the Black Mist Symbiote. During the Battle of Star City, he obtained a lot of nightmare materials.

The Queen of Stars contributed 10 flowers of humanity at a time, so that Rhodes was no longer lacking for the time being.

The special items line is missing a lot.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Rhodes had used up the last piece of Immortal Spirit and a Stone of Resurrection.

But it doesn't matter. The Chaos Stone that can resist all damage and the Twisted Scale that changes the balance of spiritual energy are all there. It shouldn't be a big problem to deal with the Soul-Eating King.

After reading it, Rhodes nodded with satisfaction and left the dreamland.

An attendant was knocking on the door, telling him that someone new had arrived in the royal city.

Rhodes left his room and walked towards the center of the Holy Fire Sacrifice, where they fought against the Queen of Stars.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the guardian fire burning on the huge royal vessel at a glance. Fire Keeper Xislai was adding phlogiston to the fire. The flames jumped out of the royal vessel and were burning ragingly.

Under the royal weapon, stood a few familiar people.

A great scholar, Amides, whom I haven't seen for a long time, and his student, Miss Mina.

Binns, a professor of history and sewers whom I haven’t seen in a long time.

Rhodes's sewer map was given to him by him.

This is where his journey into the sewers begins.

But Professor Binns is the King of Sewers.

Of all the people, there was only one gentle scholar whom he had not met.

"Long time no see, Your Excellency Son of Fire."

Amides bowed slightly to him, while Mina beside him bit her red lips, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
