the last king of darkness

Chapter 118 Preparing for Battle
The first thing after entering the dreamland, Rhodes sacrificed all the souls on the altar.

During the eight days in total, he hunted and killed about 700 evil spirits. If the number of evil spirits had not decreased significantly in the last few days, there should have been more.

But even so, it is far more than the harvest in the sewer.

Now, he has a total of 72916 spiritless souls and 1510 parts of spirituality, which are completely enough to make [soul firewood].

Rhodes came to the stone platform and put 100 spiritless souls and [-] spirits on it.

They're like a pile of black and white snow and a blob of translucent jelly.

[Powerful Soul] This item lights up, showing that its replacement has taken effect.

Then put the materials in order, a medium soul, ten parts of humanity, one part of divinity, one thirteen grams of brilliant stone, and ten parts of monster ashes.

[Soul Firewood] This item is completely lit up.

Rhodes let out a long breath. Fortunately, he had prepared two glow stones, otherwise he would have to wait until he went back to do it.

With a light tap of the finger, the stone platform is surrounded by light, and a big hand and two big pestles fly out from under the platform, and the material is kneaded and smashed ferociously.

In just a moment, the soul firewood has been made.

Rhodes picked up the valuables that seemed to be made of countless dead branches, came to the obelisk, and entered the wilderness of soul.

Under the boundless darkness, a few bonfires were burning in the wilderness, inexplicably reminding him of the current situation of human beings.

He came to the bonfire emitting bright yellow light like a ribbon, and put the soul firewood in it.

The flame shrank slightly, and then stretched out, the flying flame tip became stable, and the firewood lay quietly in the bonfire, becoming the core of burning.

Rhodes knew that he still needed to raise the state of the bonfire to the limit of burning.

Stretch your hand above the obelisk, and with a thought, black and white soft things gather in your palm.

This is soulless.

Sprinkle them into a bonfire and it will ignite.

From "weak burning" to "sustained burning", it took [-] souls, and from "sustained burning" to "blazing burning", it took [-] souls.

Then to "excessive burning", five thousand was used.

The final "extreme burning" cost [-].

Rhodes had more than 7 spiritless souls, and only 916 remained in an instant.
The bright yellow bonfire, which was originally less than one person tall, swelled to a height of two people. The fire was fierce, like a ribbon swaying in the strong wind, reminiscent of the dress of a running girl.

A line of bright yellow text emerged in the void.

【Execution of justice】

[Status: Ultimate Burning]

[Star Energy: Psionic Quartet]

[Injection: Spiritless Soul]

【Tim Huo: Human Nature】

【Quantified: not available】

【Position: Blazing Fire】

[Strength: 310]

[Description: There are stars shining in the dark night, I just want to protect such a bright you]

-

Rhodes opened his eyes wide, the change this time far exceeded expectations.

It took him a total of 2 soulless souls to upgrade [Justice Execution] to the state of "blazing fire".

But at the beginning, the level of potential of [Broken Blue] only cost less than a thousand.

The gap is huge.

But the changes are also huge.

The intensity of [Justice Execution] increased from 10 to 310 in one go.

You must know that [Broken Blue] in a completely burning state is only 200, and [Darkness Devourer] is only 30.

[Justice Execution] Just arrived at the "Blazing Fire", the intensity has already surpassed them.

Does this mean that there is a big gap between bonfires and bonfires?
The volume of [Justice Execution] far exceeds them?

Considering the different requirements for lighting the stars, this guess is likely to be true.

For a moment, Rhodes' heart seemed to have a huge heat rising.

With the strengthening of the stars, his soul strength also jumped from 240 to 540, more than doubled.

Doesn't this mean that his absolute strength has also doubled?
Moreover, the powerful [Psionic Trio] became a [Psychic Quartet].

So what if it is promoted to "golden fire", or even "eternal fire"?

Doesn't that mean he has an extremely powerful ultimate move?
As long as he finds a way to blend into a team full of superpowers, and when they fight the most powerful monsters to the end, he can use [Psychic Multiplayer], then he will be developed?
This is both an opportunity and a challenge.

If you can grasp it well, the danger you will encounter in the future will be much smaller, and you will not encounter life and death crises frequently.

However, the prerequisite for avoiding a life-and-death crisis is to suffer a life-and-death crisis.

Alas, everything is always so full of contradictions.

Rhodes sighed softly, and withdrew from the wasteland full of embers.

Glancing at the text on the obelisk, it has become:

Soul Strength: 540
Soul Stars: 3
Humanity: 611
Divinity: 35
Spiritless Soul: 916
-

There are only 35 divinities left, and only three more copies can be extracted to make three soul firewood.

Rhodes still has no idea how to obtain divinity.

However, three soul fuels are enough for him to use for a long, long time.

He doesn't want to think about more distant things for the time being.

There is only 916 left of Soulless.

Next, his first task is to get as many spiritless souls as possible.

According to the experience of [Bitter Blue], [Justice Execution] will consume more spiritless souls next.

Rhodes sighed lightly.

Hunting is far from over.

In order not to hunt anymore, but to hunt desperately is also one of his contradictions.

Rhodes glanced at the "Undead Spirit", "Wooden Puppet" and "Brain Eater's Soul Ashes" in the storage, thinking that it would be great if there were more hole cards.

The [Stone of Resurrection] in the stone platform does not know when it will be made.

If he can be resurrected, he will not be afraid of going all out.

Afterwards, Rhode checked the dream as usual. As long as time allowed, this was something he would do every time. The dream was related to his life and death.

The invasion surface of the obelisk is still empty, I don't know what's going on.

The text on the Book of Knowledge is still difficult to understand. Rhodes plans to find an ancient language teacher when he returns to Wangcheng, and study it systematically.The subclass of "Ancient Chinese" that he had originally chosen was canceled due to the patrol mission in the royal city, and he didn't attend a single lesson.

The stored materials are still very abundant. During the eight-day hunting trip in the wilderness, he used about [-] real silver bullets, an average of two real silver bullets per evil spirit, which is much more cost-effective than using Fengling bullets.

There are still 98 real silver bullets, [-] spirit sealing bullets, [-] lightning stones, and a lot of food, medicine, and supplies left.

If it wasn't for the maintenance of the psionic generator, there should be many valuables.

Rhode's eyes shone brightly.

After returning to Wangcheng, in addition to reimbursement for his material expenses, he should also give some travel expenses, right?
It's not too much to pay [-] silver cables for such an unprecedented shipping method, right?
Hey hey.

With such wonderful expectations, Rhodes fell into a sweet sleep.

As soon as the morning arrived, Rhodes woke up on time.

Although the light looked the same as yesterday, he knew that it was already the second day.

He took out his pocket watch and saw that the largest pointer was pointing to the top. According to Trorian's rules, this was the beginning of the day and the origin of all things.

Rhodes jumped out of bed, the environment in the fortress was naturally far inferior to that of the academy, whether it was clean water, food or heat, they were all limited.

And of course no running water.

All the supplies for Jianguan were transported from the giant fortress.

Therefore, the material supply channel at the foot of the Dead Mountain needs to be cleaned frequently.

The patrol team led by Beorwood has been doing this for a while, and the destruction of supplies is a very terrible thing.

Rhodes went to the water storage room to fetch a basin of clean water, finished washing briefly, and then went to the hall to have breakfast.

Because it was still early, some people sat scattered in the hall. When they saw Rhodes coming in, they raised their food and waved to him.

"Hey, little Rhodes, who is today's victim?"

"Brother, don't choose me, okay? I did heavy work all day yesterday, and my waist is about to break."

"Tell me honestly, how long can you last?"

"I heard that you are very familiar with Sister Mina, why don't you disclose her data to the brothers."

Rhodes replied casually: "99, 66, 95."

People don't know why.

"what is this?"

"Is the psionic energy output 99 ticks? This is too low."

"Just talking nonsense?"

"Haha, Brother Rhodes didn't know, it seems that I have a chance."

No one cared, only Annabelle, who was sitting in the corner, felt a little strange. There seemed to be some kind of pattern in these numbers, and it didn't seem like nonsense.

What could it be?

She was thinking while drinking the delicious mushroom soup.

Rhodes chose a seat at random and sat down. The long dining table was filled with food brought by the logistics department, including hot soup, fragrant sugar pies, very tempting fresh milk and baked goods. intestinal.

There are more than 100 people in Jianguan Fortress, except for 21 combatants, all of them are logistics personnel.

In Trorian's system, the vast majority of logistics personnel are ordinary people, who are responsible for medical treatment, supplies, construction, cleaning, transportation and other chores.

All personnel, except for combat and production, are attributed to logistics.

If there is a fireman who becomes a logistician, then he must have special logistical capabilities.

For example, the healing nuns are all fire bearers with the characteristic of light.

"Mingguang" is recognized as the soul characteristic of medical practitioners. It can detect injuries, sense souls, and eliminate pollution and infection. Under their treatment, both body and soul wounds can heal quickly.

It is worth noting that almost all those who ignite the fire of the soul and awaken the characteristic of "bright light" are women.

But there are a few exceptions, and in order to maintain a unified image, they also wear the same costumes, becoming the healing monks in the healing order, and ordinary people can't tell the difference.

And Mina, as a fire holder with the characteristic of "physical property change", is a natural repairer.

This feature allows her to change the form of matter relatively easily, so as to achieve the purpose of restoration.

It is also because of this that she embarked on the path of pursuing knowledge and truth and became a disciple of the great scholar Amides.

Mina told him all this while chatting, and Rhodes came to her for chatting just to remind her not to forget the supplies she paid, and she must add travel expenses to the reimbursement money when she goes back.

You must know that Rhodes' combat methods are not in the regular combat system of Wangcheng. Except for novices and non-combatants, no one uses real silver bullets to fight.

Therefore, there is no such item in the reimbursement list of Wangcheng General Logistics Department, and there are no real silver bullets in the supplies.

Rhodes has been burning his own money to fight.

He is very poor.

"Fortunately, the food is free." Rhode brought a plate of pies and a few sausages, and ate them vigorously. "It tastes good."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the team leader Heiyu walked in, and everyone in the hall burst into laughter.

Someone shouted: "Captain Heiyu, I heard that you were tired again yesterday!"

Hei Yu's face darkened in an instant: "Stop spreading rumors and slandering..."

"I saw it with my own eyes. After you came back, you fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth. It was the sisters in the logistics department who carried you back."

Heiyu ignored them, sat down and drank a bowl of mushroom soup.

"Captain Captain, your stamina is not as long as little Rhodes. People are like this every day. Last time you fell down, you said it was a sore egg and you were not in good condition. After resting for so many days, you fell down again after going up. Why? "

Heiyu snorted: "You can go ahead."

"Of course I can't, but Captain, you are a super hero who claims to have fought bloody battles on the Trident Plain for seven days and nights, killing thousands of corrupted ones. May I ask how you did it, is it in a dream?"

Heiyu blushed, and blue veins burst out on his forehead: "You don't even understand! At that time, Lord Alan was with me, and Lord Alan's spiritual ring inspired me, and the glory of the knight reverberated in my heart..."

Then came the difficult words, such as "soul will", "spiritual potential" and "unity of human and soul", which made everyone laugh.

The little fatty Duoduo leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, can you really come three hundred times in one night?"

Rhodes swallowed the last piece of pie and gave him an unhappy look.

So far, only this guy is willing to call him big brother, not a sister, which is particularly disappointing.

"This is a rumor, don't believe it."

"Oh." The little fat man happily sat back, picked up a large pot of mushroom soup and poured it vigorously.

Rhodes glanced at him, this guy has a huge appetite, no wonder he is so fat.

The strength is not very strong, just like him, he is a spirit gun fighter, and he is output by handguns.

The key is that there are not many bullets. The day I took him out, I shot them out in half a day, and Rhodes borrowed dozens of them from him.

After another quarter of an hour, Beowuld, Raistlin and others walked in one after another, and everyone greeted them warmly.

The hall quickly became lively.

When Instructor Dark Leaf, Knight Bach, Garrison Chief Steel Hand and others walked in, the atmosphere in the hall had already reached a quite heated level.

They seem to have endless topics, discussing everything that is closely related to them.

"Be quiet."

Steel Hand shouted, the voice was not loud, but it overwhelmed the audience.

"Following the news of the Liguang Fortress on the front line, the black tide has spilled over to the Giant Fortress, Linfeng City, Longguan, Jianguan and other places. From now on, the inner defense circle will officially replace the middle defense circle, and all tasks will be cancelled. .”

He paused and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, prepare to fight."
