The Last Dark King

Latest website: Rhodes looked at the Book of Knowledge in surprise: "Go and take a look first?"

The book of knowledge slowly turned the pages and said in a slow and calm tone:

"We are just guessing what is the state inside the Holy Fire Sacrifice of Saint Rey. We don't know how strong the fallen Pope is. We have no way of knowing how high the concentration of black mist and pollution is. If we can obtain this information , which can reduce many unnecessary difficulties and even sacrifices during future expeditions."

"Whether we go now or not, this information is necessary."

Rhodes nodded slightly. He knew the meaning of the Book of Knowledge very well. It was imperative to return to Saint Rael. It was just a matter of time. The Pope of Saint Rael not only possessed the seed of the Holy Fire, but also the fundamental source and The soul of God, and based on the soul of the Blood God, Pope Saint Rael must also have divinity in his soul.

If all goes well, the process of lighting [the festival] will move forward greatly.

If the Pope is more powerful than imagined, he can only postpone the crusade to avoid the worst result - the crusade team will be wiped out, and the king will be corrupted and die.

"The key is."

The Book of Knowledge said in a deep voice.

"You have the ability to escape. In the state of the Giant God, you may not be a match for the fallen Pope, but you must have the ability to escape. This is why I suggest you go and take a look first."

At this moment, Rhodes made a decision.

"I see."

After leaving the dreamland, Rhodes immediately informed Dalin and Armando about the incident.

Although they were very worried, they did not stop Rhodes because they believed that a man who could confront the Blood God would definitely be able to come back from the Holy Fire Sacrifice in the Royal City of Saint Rael.

Only he can do it. Apart from him, it is impossible for any investigator to come back from the contaminated Holy Fire Sacrifice.

Rhodes didn't have much preparation. It was enough to ensure that there were enough king souls in the obelisk to support the consumption of [Giant Power].

He didn't take anyone with him either. Although Percival and Ifra wanted to go, they were rejected by Rhodes. In case of danger, he might not be able to take them with him.

Before sunset, Rhodes set off from the Royal City.

It was the third time he had walked the road from Trorian to Saint-Reil, and he was almost familiar with it.

And now his strength is not what it used to be, and the journey is naturally smooth. It took many days to walk, but now it only takes ten hours to step into the realm of Saint Rey.

After being plundered by the Blood God, Saint Rey was completely lifeless, with broken ruins and ashes everywhere. All flesh-and-blood monsters had been reduced to ashes, and new monsters had not yet had time to occupy this place.

Along the way, Rhodes met many transport personnel. They all belonged to the Knights of the Moon and the Knights of the Sun. They were transporting the supplies collected by Kai and Olivia back to Trorian.

Judging from the packages they carried, the harvest was quite rich.

Rhodes made some inquiries and learned that the two great knight captains were collecting supplies from major cities in Saint Rey. The Kingdom of Saint Rey, a civilization that had lasted for thousands of years in the Dark Age, had accumulated supplies that were unimaginable. .

Even though a large part of it was lost due to the erosion of the black mist and the destruction of the war, the amount of materials left was unimaginable.

Percival and Ifra were also in contact with them throughout the process, constantly providing them with the locations of various warehouse weapon storage rooms.

Therefore, the entire harvesting process went unimaginably smoothly, and many precious elements that Trorian lacked were continuously sent back to the royal city.

During the operation, their biggest worry was that there was no storage space and there were too many supplies that were difficult to take back.

They kept asking the Royal City to send more personnel to deliver supplies, but Saint Reyer was too far away. Unless they were personnel above Herrscher, they could not penetrate into such remote darkness.

Moving people is always very troublesome. The journey back to the Royal City from Saint Rey is too long, and there are often battles on the way. They cannot carry too many supplies, so it is best to be carried by people with storage characteristics.

But in the entire royal city, there are only three people with the ability to store items. Apart from Rhodes, two people have already joined in the transportation process, and even brought the only three storage items, which is still far from enough. their needs.

They had no choice but to choose the most valuable items to bring back and give up most of the equally valuable but less valuable items.

"Mr. Rhodes, are you here to pack things too?"

one transport worker asked excitedly.

"With the size of your rice bucket, you can certainly move all the supplies back to the royal city. It is really a pity that the mountain-like moonstone has to be left where it is."

"There are also tons of sun stones, raw spiritual crystal ore, star marrow, and various processed spiritual materials. Ahhhhh, but I can only take away a small part of them. As soon as I think of this, I I feel uncomfortable all over!"

Rhodes did not break their hopes. He mumbled a few words and headed straight for the royal city of Saint Rey.

Now, the most important thing is to go to the Holy Fire Sacrifice Site.

But Rhodes also made a decision in his heart. If everything goes well, he will go to collect supplies with Kai and the others after leaving Saint Rey and the Holy Fire Sacrifice.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must not be missed.

The second day after leaving the royal city.

Just after morning, Rhodes came to the royal city of Saint Reyer again.

Looking at this huge city embedded in the mountains, Rhodes had a slight feeling. The last time he came, it was with the First Holy Son Taxis, but now, Taxis has rested in peace. .

All the creatures in Saint Rael rested in peace with the death of the Blood God.

Rhodes stood on the mountain range and looked around. This huge city was submerged in darkness. Only silence echoed in the air. On the streets and squares swallowed by black mist, there were newly born dust-level monsters wandering. This was The weakest and most primitive monsters are twisted souls born under the laws of darkness.

Although they will be destroyed just by getting close to Rhodes, if they are given enough time, they can grow into monsters that even Rhodes dare not challenge easily.

Rhodes took a deep breath and jumped into the royal city of Saint Rey.

As his powerful soul field fell, countless dust disappeared in an instant and ceased to exist.

Rhodes walked quickly on the street, countless tiny gray lines flying from all directions, sinking into his soul. In the entire royal city, no monster could come within four hundred yards of him.

With the death of the Blood God, those powerful monsters also turned into ashes, and the royal city of Saint Rael almost became an empty city.

Looking at the countless majestic buildings, Rhodes was filled with regret. This was the hard work of a civilization for eighteen hundred years. How great would it be if they could be utilized?

Soon, after passing through countless streets and squares, Rhodes came to the Holy Fire Sacrifice of King St. Rael's City. It is an extremely huge semicircular building with a diameter of more than 10,000 yards. It is bigger than the Holy Fire of King Trolian City. The sacrificial site is many times larger.

Its outer wall was once covered by an invisible barrier that could not be penetrated, but now, all has disappeared.

The entire Holy Fire Sacrificial Site was eerily quiet, and even the black mist became thinner.

"Master, something is strange."

In my mind, the Book of Knowledge whispered.

"I didn't sense the aura of a powerful monster. Didn't Sun Knight Kai and Moon Knight Olivia sense the aura of the true king in the royal city?"

Rhodes frowned. He suddenly remembered that in his previous communication with the transportation personnel, he learned that the two knight captains were scraping inward layer by layer along the outside of Saint Rey. This was Percival. He suggested that this way he could eliminate the monsters spreading from the outside of Saint Rey, save as much supplies as possible, and at the same time, nothing would be left behind.

The royal city of Saint Rey is in the very center of Saint Rey.

They knew that there was a fallen pope here, so they couldn't have gone straight here from the beginning.

Then who brought this news?

Ancient evil thoughts?

But the strange thing is that Rhodes woke up Asa, and he gave a negative answer after being silent for a while.

"Master, I don't smell the evil conspiracy. It may not be Ake's fault. However, you are too far away from the center of the conspiracy now. I can't guarantee that if you can find a specific source of information, I can make a more accurate decision." judgment.”

Rhodes shook his head. He had already arrived in front of the Holy Fire Sacrifice. How could he return to the Royal City?

What's more, if this is false news delivered with evil intentions, what do they want to do?

Remind Rhodes that there is a Holy Fire Seed here and a fallen True King? Let him come and die?

But such an inference is illogical. No one knows the death of the White Pope better than Rhodes. He does not need any reminder, and there is no inducement in the message. The one who draws the conclusion is the Book of Knowledge. Ancient evil thoughts are no longer there. It is so powerful that it cannot affect a book of knowledge that has dream protection and a soul that is nearly complete.

Maybe I'm too sensitive.

Rhodes thought, maybe they have been here, and I will find them to confirm after I go back.

He took a deep breath, put aside his distracting thoughts, and stepped into the Holy Fire Sacrifice of Saint Rey.

The sacrificial site was extremely quiet. Under the silent black fog, there was thick dust, as if it had been placed in the darkness for countless years, and the heaviness of history came to my face.

Some faint dark water waves float in the air, indicating that the area within the Holy Fire Sacrifice Site has a certain degree of integration with the spiritual world.

Rhodes focused his energy on perception. His super perception enhanced by [God's Sense] did not find any breath, as if this was an empty and abandoned building for a long time.

How is this going?

What about the Pope?

Rhodes frowned and walked carefully step by step towards the center of the Holy Fire Sacrifice.

Thick dust splashed under his feet, then quickly subsided, and the very light footsteps seemed to step into his soul.

After an unknown amount of time, Rhodes finally reached the upper level of the Holy Fire Sacrifice. The gap in the ground was still there. With a slight jump, he jumped into the center of the Holy Fire Sacrifice in King Saint Rael's City.

Bang!

There was a very soft sound, and Rhode stepped into the thick white ash.

Silence oppressed his eardrums. He raised his head. The oval-shaped venue was no different from last time. It was covered with white ash on all sides. The huge basin in the center was the royal vessel that carried the holy fire. The burning holy fire was nowhere to be seen, only the infinite. Ashes covered everything here.

The pollution disappeared, the black water flowing in the royal vessel no longer existed, and there were no pollutants on the ground except white ash. Even the black mist in the air was light, like the mist in the morning.

"strangeness!"

This strange sight made Rhodes feel very uneasy.

"Where did the pollution go? The last time I came here, I clearly saw black water spreading from the royal vessel and flowing everywhere."

The book of knowledge is also very nervous, and the pages are curled up.

"Lord, Master, look, look at the throne, the Pope's throne, right under the royal throne."

Rhodes looked for it from the moment he entered, but all he could see was thick white dust. He saw neither the throne nor the Pope.

"Could it be that the Pope has left here?"

A possibility suddenly popped up in Rhode's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

The Blood God once ruled the entire Saint Rael. It is impossible for two monsters of the same class to have no intersection, and battles and killings will also occur between monsters. The battle between the Fallen True King and the Ancient God will definitely be earth-shattering.

But they have never observed such a scene.

Obviously, the fallen pope left the Holy Fire Sacrifice before the arrival of the Blood God.

No wonder it was so quiet here, no wonder he couldn't sense anything.

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt very complicated. He didn't know whether to be grateful or regretful.

Looking up, the royal vessel was filled with white ash, and it was unclear whether the Holy Fire Seed was still there.

"Forget it, it might be a good thing that the fallen pope is not here. I just hope he didn't take away the Holy Fire Seed."

When Rhodes was about to step over to check, suddenly, a rustling sound sounded in his ears. It was very short and soft, and disappeared in an instant.

For a moment, he almost thought it was his illusion and that he was hallucinating, but soon, the will of his powerful king made him understand that this was definitely not an illusion.

Rhodes' steps froze. His feet had not yet stepped on the white ash, and it was obviously not the sound of his steps.

What could that be?

Rhodes opened his eyes wide and immediately opened the eyes of the soul, but nothing changed as far as he could see.

But the next second, the rustling sound sounded in my ears again.

This time, Rhodes heard clearly the sound of steps on white ash.

He looked around for a moment, but still didn't notice any changes.

How is this going?

There was a chill in Rhode's heart. Could it be the sound of white ash blown by the wind?

But this is impossible. In the face of the powerful king's perception, even the movement of a breeze cannot escape.

"Owner."

The sharp voice of the Book of Knowledge suddenly sounded in my mind.

"Use the spiritual perspective!"

Rhodes was startled: "The spiritual world perspective?"

"Yes, it means to probe part of the soul into the spiritual world. Part of the Holy Fire Sacrifice is already in the spiritual world."

Rhodes felt a chill in his heart and immediately did as he was told.

The next second, water-like ripples unfolded in front of the eyes, and the Holy Fire Sacrifice Site seemed to sink to the bottom of the water in an instant.

Suddenly, Rhodes' pupils shook violently.

In his sight, not far away, a ghostly figure was pacing slowly.

He wore a gold and red robe and a tall white crown on his head. The robe was covered with the semicircular emblems of the White Sect.

Swish, swish.

Every time he took a step, the sound of rustling dust rang in his ears.

As if aware of Rhode's gaze, he stopped and raised his head.

Under the white crown, a thin and dry face appeared in front of you. He looked no different from an ordinary old man, but without any life, like a walking corpse. The most terrifying thing was his eyes, which were pure black. Like a bottomless abyss.

There is no doubt that he is the Pope of the White Sect, the true king who fights against the Starry Sky and the Blood God alone, O'Sullivan.

"ah."

The pope opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and noisy, like countless glasses rubbing against each other.

"You finally came."

boom!

The black light in his eyes surged, and the infinite source of spiritual energy rushed towards him.
