the last king of darkness

Chapter 124 Attack
But different from what I imagined, the monster tide in the afternoon became less.

Rhodes calculated that from noon to evening, in four hours, there were only dozens of sporadic monsters, which were wiped out in an instant, and he didn't even make a move.

It was a little bit late at night, but not too much. Rhodes couldn't bear it anymore, so he planned to go back to his room to sleep-he was the only one who could move freely in the entire Sword Pass.

On the way back, no matter whether they met fighters or logistics personnel, they all looked happy. Most people thought that as long as they worked harder, the Kuroshio Tide would end.

According to Trorian's practice, when a disaster is over, it usually ushers in a long period of good days.

They happily discussed what kind of vacation they should spend, and warmly invited Rhodes to go with them.

When passing by the duty room, Rhodes saw people from the support team and the emergency team lying in it and fast asleep.

In the side room, there were two other guys clapping for love - they didn't even close the door.

"Tch, the technology is really poor."

After watching for a few seconds, Rhodes left decisively, and the soul in the dream was still waiting for him to sacrifice.

Halfway there, I ran into Annabe again.

This fourth-year senior is not very beautiful, but she is very attractive. She has beautiful bangs, a slightly round face, and narrow and upward eyes, giving people a very proud feeling.

She stopped Rhodes and asked, "How much is my data?"

Rhodes replied casually: "70, 59, 80."

Before the words were finished, Annabe gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you are indeed a big thur, this is the data of a woman's figure, isn't it? You guys really only look at the figure, and you don't understand the connotation at all, it's really superficial! Stupid! Childish! Absurd! As soon as I return to the Royal City, I will report you to the Disciplinary Committee! Why is Mina's stats so much higher than mine?"

Miss, isn't it?

Mina is tall and has a perfect figure. Not only are you flat, but you are also so short, the statistics will naturally be much worse. People are not aliens, so how can you grow randomly?

But of course you can't tell the truth, Rhodes immediately changed his thinking mode, coughed, and changed into the softest and warmest male voice:

"Little fool, if I don't say you were close, what if someone else snatches you away?"

Annabelle's face turned visibly red, and goosebumps stretched from her neck to her forehead.

"Slick tongue! Liar! Men are liars!"

She yelled, turned sharply and ran away.

Annabelle's Delight +21
Humanity +2
Rhodes sighed.

Well, forced to brush a little bit of humanity.

I hope she doesn't really report me, I don't want to be checked again.

-

On the way back, Rhodes encountered more interesting things.

At the corner of the spiral staircase, he saw Caramon surreptitiously confessing his love to a beautiful female logistics staff, but was rejected because she didn't like very thin boys and seemed insecure.

When Rhodes met him, Caramon declared that he rejected a beautiful woman and warned Rhodes not to be arrogant, he was nothing special.

Before Rhodes had time to say a word, the guy left in a huff.

However, when Rhodes went to the kitchen to get food, he ran into that beautiful female logistics staff again.

She directly asked Rhodes if he could be her boyfriend.

Rhodes was surprised: "I'm very thin."

The female support staff blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "I just like thin ones, those with too much meat are disgusting."

Rhodes had no choice but to refuse on the grounds that he was still young.

After that, similar things happened several times.

The men and women are full of enthusiasm, and the atmosphere in the fortress is like the winter has passed, and there is a feeling of spring and flowers blooming.

Only Rhodes felt a little disappointed.

It's not really over, is it?My execution of justice has only risen to a higher level?

Forget it, the harvest from this trip is enough, let's wait for the next opportunity.

Maybe, tomorrow we can go and play with Big Sister Mina?She has worked so hard for so long, so it makes sense for me to give her a massage, right?

With such expectations, Rhodes fell into a sweet sleep.

But this night, he was woken up by the rapid ringing of the bell in the fortress.

This was the first time Rhodes heard the bells in the fortress. It was stiff, short, and anxious, as if someone was holding a gong and banging on his ear.

The drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and Rhodes jumped up in one step, put on his coat in an instant, and rushed out of the room.

I saw that the fire in the fortress was unprecedentedly bright, and a huge voice echoed in the air:

"Level [-] battle preparation! Non-combatants evacuate immediately!"

"Repeat! Level [-] combat preparation! Non-combatants evacuate immediately!"

There are hurried footsteps everywhere, the logistics personnel are collectively running towards the shelter in the fort, and a large number of combatants are rushing from the upper floor of the fort to the lower floor.

Rhodes grabbed a sword-passing warrior and asked, "What's going on?"

The soldier said anxiously: "The psionic generator has been attacked by a large number of evil spirits! Miss Mina is in danger!"

Rhodes was surprised: "Where did the evil spirits come from? Aren't the evil spirits on the wasteland of corpses killed so badly that they can't be found?"

"I don't know! Let's save Miss Mina!"

Rhodes didn't ask any more questions, and immediately opened the eyes of the soul, and ran wildly behind the warrior, while quickly replacing the real silver bullets in the spirit gun with spirit-sealing bullets.

But before going down the stairs, the soldier suddenly screamed, both legs were cut off, his body flew far away, and blood gushed wildly.

Rhode's scalp exploded, and he immediately turned his gaze to the ground.

There are many physical blocks in the fortress, and the eyes of the soul are greatly restricted, but they can barely see the spirits and energy behind the wall.

What appeared in his line of sight at this moment was a pale spirit body.

The moment he saw it, Rhodes felt great malice. It sank below the ground, and a long sickle protruded from the spirit body, cutting towards him silently.

Rhodes jumped back and avoided the scythe.

The evil spirit seemed to be enraged, protruding out of the ground and rushing towards him.

A strong sense of suffocation hit his face, and his scalp was full of fine numbness, but his fear did not affect his movements. Rhodes skillfully raised his spirit gun, and the soul strength of up to 850 made him full of energy in the shortest time. Spiritual pressure gauge.

boom!
The spirit sealing bullet hit the evil spirit.

The bullets full of spirit patterns instantly shattered into slag, and the spiritual energy impact did not slow the evil spirit for half a second. Before Rhodes even had time to fire a second shot, the pale sickle chopped down like lightning.

Boom!
The scythe was blocked by a piece of dark wood.

Countless branches sprouted from the wood, spreading rapidly along Rhodes' arm, and the complicated branches intertwined and extended, like a big tree that was fast forwarded tens of thousands of times.

In just a second, a tree man made of countless dead branches appeared in front of Rhodes.

"wooden puppet"

Rhodes crushed it at a critical moment, saving his life.

The evil spirit roared crazily, but its scythe had been entangled by the spreading branches of the treants at some point.

These dark woods penetrated into its spiritual body like living insects, spreading to its soul.

The white energy in the evil spirit's body boiled up, trying to get rid of the entanglement.

But the tree man held on to it.

Rhodes jumped up from the ground, and aimed at the weak spot on its spirit body five times in a row, only to make a flaw.

Raising his right hand, a sickle-shaped crescent appeared on the back of the hand, and the shining light rose up, and the palm quickly became transparent.

Rhodes took a step forward, and his translucent right hand slammed into the opening of the spirit body, holding its soul thread, and twitched violently.

With a buzzing sound, something seemed to be torn apart in the void.

The evil spirit wailed frantically, and the spirit body spewed out countless dazzling phosgenes like an exploding pressure cooker.

In the ear-piercing howl, the evil spirit tore apart, turned into nothingness and dissipated in the air, leaving only a cloud of pale powder.

【Soul of the Fallen Evil Spirit】

[Spiritless Soul +32]

It wasn't until this time that Rhodes felt a violent heartbeat, and the rushing blood hit the eardrums, making him feel nothing but humming.

The tree man lowered his hands and stood in front of him blankly, waiting for his order.

At that moment just now, Rhode almost thought he was dead. This evil spirit was completely different from the evil spirit he met on the wasteland of corpses. It was much stronger, and the environment of the fortress was also very unfavorable to him. rushed to the face.

Fortunately, the tree man saved his life in a critical moment.

The moment he saw its soul, Rhodes finally confirmed that it was not the "Raging Evil Spirit" on the wasteland of corpses.

The "Raging Evil Spirit" has big holes all over its body, and real silver bullets can kill it.

The "Fallen Evil Spirit" hit six spirit-sealing bullets in a row and only had a small flaw, which is not at the same level at all.

Is this a monster from the Kuroshio?

Rhodes was slightly puzzled, carefully looked around, and ran over after confirming that there were no evil spirits. The soldier was lying on the ground bleeding profusely, and he had to stop the bleeding quickly.

But when Rhodes ran over, a chill came from his heart.

The soldier's head was cut off at some point, and the blood in his neck was almost drained.

It was the first time for Rhodes to see such a tragic scene, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he decided to put the torso of the first soldier together, and then went to the lower level to rescue.

Suppressing fear and vomiting, he retrieved his legs and head. The soldier's eyes were still wide open, and there was still anxiety in his expression, but his pupils dilated and his spirit body disappeared.

He has lost his life forever.

Rhodes sighed softly, put his head and legs on his torso, and was about to get up.

But in the next moment, the headless and legless body jumped up and knocked Rhodes down. Blood and flesh spewed out from the cut in the neck, internal organs flew into the air, and a large mass of intestines spewed out, strangling Rhodes neck.

Rhode's mind was blank, and an unprecedented force came from his neck, his eyes went dark, and a sense of despair welled up in his heart.

But in the next moment, the huge force on the neck disappeared, and the intestine was torn off by something, and the huge force bounced it away, making a loud sound of breaking the air.

Rhodes knelt down on the ground, coughing frantically, fresh air flowed into the nasal cavity, and there was a burning pain when he exhaled into the trachea.

After more than ten seconds, he recovered.

Standing up, he saw the wooden puppet standing in front of him. The soldier's corpse had been torn apart by it, and his intestines fell on the wall, turning into a pool of yellow sticky matter.

Did the wooden puppet save me?

This thought came to Rhodes' mind, only to realize that his spirit had been connected to the wooden puppet, perhaps because it saw its master being attacked and automatically counterattacked.

What exactly is going on?

Corpse infected?

Looking down, the soldier's head was also crushed. I don't know if it was the wooden puppet or his corpse.

A strong sense of panic and nausea rose from the bottom of his heart at the same time, which was different from all the battles he had been in contact with so far.

Rhodes resisted this feeling, returned to the dream in an instant and took out the "Immortal Spirit", holding it tightly in the palm of his hand.

At this time, there were footsteps again, and Rhodes turned his head immediately, only to see Beowwood.

This bear-like man was galloping from the other side of the stairs at lightning speed.

Rhodes reacted very quickly, and immediately shouted: "This is my summon!" At the same time, he suppressed the wooden puppet's counterattack mentally.

boom!
Beowuld's fist hit the air like a thunderbolt.

He stood still, glanced at the wooden puppet, took out another stone, flashed it in front of Rhodes, and then spoke:
"How is this going?"

Rhode briefly recounted what happened.

Beowuld's face was serious, he squatted down and picked up the evil spirit powder, observed it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "This is a super-level evil spirit, it should have been advanced into a more powerful monster long ago, But it was suppressed by something, so it can only become this kind of critical state.”

He came to the broken body again, took out the stone, looked at it for a while, and said:

"The corpse is cursed, the dimension of evil thoughts is quite high, your spiritual power level is not enough, no matter how high your spiritual vision is, you can't see it."

Rhodes said anxiously: "They said that Mina is being attacked! Let's go to support!"

Beowuld stood up, his face more gloomy than ever before.

"No, I feel something is wrong."

At this moment, the light of the flame quickly dimmed, and the shadows swooped towards them at an unprecedented speed.
