the last king of darkness

Chapter 122 I'm Not a Human Being

The moment the monster stepped into the range of the fire, the flames rose from its body, and billows of black dust spurted upwards along with the fire.

They rushed towards Jianguan dragging black smoke and flames like this.

This is the first time that Rhodes has participated in an official war between Trorian and Darkness.

Although there were only thirteen of them, when they stood on the majestic city wall and saw the continuous monsters rushing towards them, a strange sense of excitement could not help but arise in their hearts.

Bang bang bang.

Three loud bangs.

Three giant arrows pierced through the air, crashed into the crowd of monsters, and tore apart the bodies of dozens of monsters.

Beowwood, Raistlin, and Annabe turned the capstan, pulled out the steel cable that was as thick as a thigh, loaded it with a giant arrow as thick as two people, and adjusted the angle of the bed crossbow that was half the size of a house. quasi-monster.

Plenty of spiritual energy turbulent in their bodies, allowing them to pull this steel giant that was bigger than them.

Especially Annabe, her petite figure was like a small flower beside this icy steel giant, but she could operate the bed crossbow as neatly as two big men with strong backs.

Along with the second round of shooting, a huge gap was torn open in the tide of monsters.

In Rhodes' line of sight, he could clearly see the monster's soul dissipating into the air as its body shattered, and a large amount of black smoke billowed up like thick smoke before dissipating in midair.

These monsters are nowhere near as strong as the corrupt one.

The waves of their souls are very gentle, and the real names formed by the vibrations of the souls are clearly visible.

"Cowardly soul demon".

"Ghouls".

All monsters are of these two types.

They are short in stature, stooped in body, with black hair all over their body, long sharp claws and terrifying teeth. They have ferocious faces, with red light shining in their cloudy eyeballs, and they have no sense of the burning fire on their bodies.

Their ranks are not high, and the spiritual energy permeating their bodies is relatively weak, and they cannot withstand the impact of giant arrows at all.

The only advantage is that there are more in number, but within the range of the Guardian Fire, they burn whole pieces, and the number doesn't have much effect.

The monster rushed under the sword pass, blocking the way through the huge wall solidified with spiritual energy, and the breath it emitted caused the monsters to attack frantically.

But unlike the Corruptors, the walls stood still, well below the load limits of the psionic generators.

On the city wall, the students used different means to attack them condescendingly.

Some use bows and arrows, some throw javelins, some open five fingers and shoot energy bombs, and some wave their hands continuously, forming huge wind blades, cutting pieces of monsters.

There are also people who shoot real silver bullets and throw thunderstones like crazy.

Dark Leaf had to remind: "Rhode, the real silver bullets are not reimbursed, and Leishi is not reimbursed except for the city defense army."

Rhodes replied unhappily: "I know, I have money."

An Ye sighed: "Well, don't waste too much, supplies are limited."

Rhodes didn't bother to pay attention to him. He reloaded with one hand, shot with one hand, put one hand in the gray bag to charge, and threw thunderstones with one hand.

As a single young man, his one-handed skills are extremely proficient.

However, perhaps due to the chaotic situation on the battlefield, Rhodes basically never obtained a complete soul, almost all of which were soul fragments and spiritless souls.

Why is that?
Rhodes frowned, recalling the text of [Darkness Devourer].

Its star power is [Soul Corrosion].

Could it be that I have not caused enough "corrosion"?

Or if it wasn't for the monster that I killed in the end, I couldn't get a complete soul?

That would certainly explain it, but the Corruptor was hit head-on and definitely delivered the final blow.

Why only spiritless souls?

This question is not clear for the time being, Rhodes can only put it aside and concentrate on hunting monsters.

The battle didn't last long like this.

Soon, the flying monster seen earlier fell on the city wall from above.

Rhodes saw their names:
"Blade Demon".

These monsters are huge and bloated, their whole bodies are covered with black stones, and their hands are two huge stone blades.

However, the flames were still burning on the stones, turning part of their bodies into black dust, rising with the flying flame tips, like statues on fire.

Dark Leaf shouted: "Close combat, protect the bed crossbow, Beowuld, Raistlin, Annabe, you keep shooting."

Under his leadership, the students turned their heads to fight the "Blade Demon".

"Be careful, the Blade Demon is a grade-to-mid-level monster, a monster type, and a demon attribute. It has high defense and strong melee capabilities. Don't besiege it together! Scatter it and use long-range means to consume it."

Even so, An Ye took the lead, catching the sharp blade demon's heavy slash with his bare hands, and then pushed forward with his elbow.

It pierced through its body with one blow.

Rhodes clearly saw that the monster's psionic energy was smashed to pieces, and the soul was also knocked out a big hole. The remnant body of the blade demon fell down and turned into countless black dust, leaving only a pile in an instant ash.

The instructor is very strong.

When I saw him being chased and beaten by corrupt people, I thought he was weak.

It seems that the Corruptor is really super strong.

Distracting thoughts passed in a flash, and Rhodes quickly joined the battle.

His fighting style is totally different from Instructor Dark Leaf or everyone else.

He didn't approach the enemy cautiously as taught in any fighting style or combat tutorial, but walked over defenseless with all flaws in his body, and suddenly drew out his gun, and with a bang, the Blade Demon shook his body and knelt down. fell to the ground.

The right hand that turned translucent at some point suddenly plunged into the monster's body, and the moment it was pulled out, the monster's entire body fell to the ground as if falling apart, turning into black dust.

Clean and sharp, fast and violent.

Not only the students, but even Dark Leaf was shocked.

But in the fierce battle, no one has time to talk.

Huge blade demons kept falling from the sky, and the empty city walls were soon filled with monsters.

Intermediate-level monsters already have strong lethality. They have always been the main force in the monster group, and they are the monsters that kill the most combatants.

Although the members of the secret branch are all the best among the best, they are still inexperienced, and their cooperation with each other is not proficient enough, and soon some people were injured.

The command room decisively dispatched the emergency team, and the garrison chief Steel Hand led dozens of combatants to join the battlefield, and the situation quickly reversed.

After an hour, everyone finally wiped out the sharp blade demon on the city wall.

The ashes of monsters were everywhere on the empty city walls, and the wounded fighters were taken to the medical room by the logistics staff for treatment.

Since there are no professional healers in Jianguan, they can only use ordinary methods for medical treatment.

Caramon is a field medical practitioner, and generally does not enter the medical room.

Most of the monsters below the sword pass were burned to ashes by the fire of protection.

However, although the guardian fire that landed had a stable field, too many monsters still reduced its strength, and the range of the fire was visibly reduced by the naked eye.

The psionic energy generator has also suffered a lot. According to Mina's report, the psionic energy generator has consumed more than [-]% of its energy, and the black crystal reserve that is the main energy supply is not much.

There was a slight worry on Steel Hand's face. Although the monster had been wiped out, the Kuroshio Tide was far from over.

This is just the beginning, and they have suffered such a big loss, which is completely different from what they expected.

Darkleaf, Baywood, and Raistlin came together.

"Master Steelhand, the situation is not quite right."

An Ye's face was also very gloomy.

"Our losses are too great. In one battle, twelve combatants were slightly injured and three were seriously injured. If it were not for some accidents among us, the losses might be unimaginable."

Beowuld said in a deep voice: "Although I have never participated in guarding the Kuroshio before, I have heard from my father about their combat experience. According to our usual practice, the Fortress of Liguang is directly in front of us and is the main battlefield. They can't clean it up. The monsters will overflow to reach us, and the monsters overflowing in the first round are so strong, obviously something is wrong."

Raistlin nodded. "The guards on the walls are better staffed."

Steel Hand looked very embarrassed: "However, our total combat power is not much, and our supplies are not very sufficient."

Dark Leaf said: "I can only think of ways to save money. The bed crossbow is the most economical weapon. All the materials of the giant arrow are common and very cheap. We should use them more to kill the enemy."

"That's right, we should use our own strength to destroy monsters."

The three of them discussed on the city wall, while the logistics personnel were quickly collecting the ashes of the monsters left on the city wall and on the battlefield.

Cleaning the battlefield is a must. The ashes of monsters contain residual power and can be used in many ways.

There are people in Wangcheng who specialize in collecting them, and they are called collectors.

Whenever the battle is over, the collectors will go to clean the battlefield and collect the embers.

Rhodes watched them put lumps of monster ashes into a special urn, swept away the useless fly ash, glanced at the complete power of the blade demon he had obtained, and thought that he would ask them for two pieces later. Come here, I still have two sun stones, just enough to make two soul ashes.

This thing looks fierce.

Rhodes has confirmed that the monsters killed by him are not in the same situation as before.

The only exception is the Corruptor, but maybe that's why [Psionic Quartet] is so strong.

The amount of souls obtained from monsters should be related to the degree to which the souls have been corroded by the [Darkness Devourer].

Of course, Rhodes still doesn't know exactly how it works.

The income of this battle is very good, the spiritless soul has skyrocketed from 700 to 21100, and there are still a lot of soul fragments and complete souls.

It now appears that sewers really are sewers.

Damn, never go again.

Your sewer king has apostate!
-

After the discussion, Steel Hand and others quickly adjusted the defense mode and strengthened the combatants on duty on the city wall, but the support team and emergency team had to reduce their personnel accordingly.

The battle configuration has also been optimized to ensure that there is at least one mid-level and high-level combatant on the city wall at any time.

But even that didn't improve much.

The intensity of the subsequent battles exceeded expectations, and the types of monsters became more diverse, and some monsters with strong destructive capabilities appeared.

They deal very high damage to Jianguan Fortress, and their rough skin and thick flesh make them hard to destroy.

The energy of the psionic generator was consumed very quickly, the black crystal was consumed too quickly, and the inventory was about to be exhausted. Everyone was anxious like ants on a hot pot. no respond.

Only Rhodes lost his voice after learning about the matter: "Are you here again?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone in the basement turned their eyes and stared at him blankly.

Stare at his baggy sleeves.

　Sorry for the wrong timing, Ah Shan is very sorry, and decided to ask for a flutter (~_,~)
