the last king of darkness

Chapter 157 The Weak Victory

Rhodes saw the demon of the abyss rushing from behind at a glance.

Sure enough, he caught up.

In this way, the three iron wolves must be safe. They hurried to call for support, and they might have a chance to kill this monster.

But only if I can escape.

In mid-air, Rhodes flew towards the direction of the royal city.

The spirit boat is not completely under his control, it will only fly to the place that emerges in his mind, if it encounters physical obstacles, it will escape into the spirit world.

But on the plain, it doesn't seem to be able to do that.

And the speed of the Demon of the Abyss is far faster than Rhodes. Every tentacle of it is waving psionic energy, as if swimming in the ocean of psionic energy.

When thousands of tentacles wave together, its huge body will rush forward for a certain distance.

After only a few sprints, it caught up with Rhodes, and a long tentacle jerked towards him.

Oops!

Rhodes couldn't dodge enough and was hit by Zhengzheng.

The spirit boat was torn apart and dissipated into countless white mist.

Fortunately, the spirit boat itself has a certain defensive effect, and no one was injured.

Boom.

When Rhodes landed, the monster also fell to the ground. Knowing that something was wrong, he immediately crushed all twenty wooden puppets and summoned twenty treants.

Brush brush!
Dozens of tentacles swept over, but they were all stopped by the tree man.

These tree people have extremely tough bodies and strong regenerative ability. With the spreading and growing branches, they actually stopped the monster for a while.

Rhodes got the gap and immediately blew the whistle.

The dean's phantom once again fell from the sky.

His tall figure frowned when he saw the monster wrestling with the tree man in the distance.

"Quick, go and stop it!"

Rhodes ordered.

The Phantom raised the staff reluctantly, but leapt forward anyway, breaking one of the tentacles.

But the monster's tentacles have all been unfolded. Its body is a large mass of twisted black flesh, and all the tentacles extend from this mass of black flesh, like a giant octopus with countless tentacles.

Treants can only be beaten one-sidedly, and have no ability to harm them.

And Phantom seems to hate contact with this monster, especially its intestinal juice and black blood, and always flees away with a single blow.

The power of the demon of the abyss far exceeds them, and the summoned objects seem to be unable to last for too long, which is why he did not choose to summon them in the first place.

But at this moment, Rhodes suddenly had an idea.

He summoned the spirit boat again, and flew away into the distance.

Sure enough, the abyss octopus immediately chased after it, and the twenty treants were all wrapped around its tentacles, but they ignored it. The phantom kept flickering out and knocked off a group of tentacles, but it didn't respond either.

This monster seems to have an unusual attachment to me.

Rhodes thought.

Maybe take advantage of this.

Before being caught up, Rhodes decisively chose to land.

The monster fell to the ground, but it was soon entangled by the annoying treant again.

These tough branches and wood are not afraid of being squeezed or blown at all, and the treants are born with strong erosion resistance, and they are not afraid of the corrosive pus and blood of monsters.

Thick tentacles clung to the treant, trying to tear it apart.

This is the only way that works.

However, Rhodes set up the spirit boat and ran away again.

The monster had to enter the state of psychic wandering again, and each tentacle was swimming in the air, using psychic energy to propel its body.

A dance of thousands of tentacles is a sprint.

Although the speed is fast, it is not particularly flexible, especially in the process of sprinting, and it cannot be turned.

Rhodes saw the opportunity and landed quickly.

The monster was forced to land not far away, and once again wrestled with the tree man.

But this time, Rhodes did not choose to run away or join the battle immediately, but entered the dreamland, quickly took out all the ashes of the souls of the one hundred plague rats he made before, and threw them out.

In an instant, the spirit bodies of a hundred plague rats rushed towards the demon of the abyss.

Although relatively speaking, the Plague Rats were very weak and posed no threat, but they couldn't stand up to the large numbers. They went through the gaps between the Treants one after another, biting the tentacles of the monsters.

Then, before the demon of the abyss launched a counterattack, Rhodes rose into the air again.

The Demon of the Abyss also accompanied him again, chasing after the attacks of a hundred plague rats and a phantom.

In this way, Rhodes continued to take off and land. Although the demon of the abyss was fast, it was not particularly easy to catch Rhodes due to the strong interference of the tree man.

What's even more surprising is that the plague rat's attack seemed to have a miraculous effect.

They are born with the effect of plague infection, and the demon of the abyss, which is full of corrosive pus, has no resistance to the plague.

It's unbelievable.

When Rhodes fell for the fifth time, the Demon of the Abyss had already staggered, and his psionic energy was lost under the damage of the plague, and the speed of soul awakening was greatly reduced. It no longer tried to chase Rhodes, but focused on cleaning up these annoying mice , but the treant with little attack power bears most of its attacks, and the plague rat can bite its body in the huge treant that is full of hollows.

Rhodes saw an opportunity for the first time.

He didn't use the thunderstone because he was afraid of blowing up the plague rat-this is the nemesis of the plague rat.

He drew out his spirit gun, and continuously fired at the main body of the demon of the abyss. One after another, the spirit-sealing bullets hit the twisted black mass of flesh, continuously impacting its soul, hindering the operation of its psychic energy.

But what really hurt it was the yellow-green plague that quickly climbed up along the tentacles. The erosion of the plague can be superimposed. If a person is bitten four or five times by the plague rat in a short period of time, he will fall into a state of deep poisoning , not only poses a great threat to life, but also causes damage to the soul, which is very troublesome.

This is why the people in Wangcheng hate cleaning the sewers so much.

And this monster has already been bitten hundreds of times by a hundred plague rats. If it were a person, he would have died violently long ago, but the demon of the abyss is still struggling crazily, with countless tentacles wriggling like boiling, It's like boiling hundreds of large octopuses in a pot of boiling water.

But it was poisoned too deeply, and the plague killed its tentacles, killed its eggs, destroyed its body, and battered its soul.

Finally, with a shot from Rhodes, the Demon of the Abyss trembled and collapsed to the ground. A big hole was opened in the soul on the twisted black flesh.

Rhodes, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, rushed forward like lightning.

The sickle on the right hand emerged, and the luminosity surged up, directly inserted into its soul.

Bang.

As if muffled from the void, Rhodes tore off its soul thread.

Silent howls sounded in the air, countless black dust rose into the air from the huge octopus, and the thick black mist could not stop this victory ceremony.

A huge black air penetrated Rhodes' body.

【Soul of the Demon of the Abyss】

[Spiritless Soul +990]

it is good.

Rhode finally smiled.

This is a powerful soul, even stronger than the soul of the [Soul of the Distortion Behemoth] obtained before.

I harvested two powerful souls in one trip, and with a few more trips, [Justice Execution] will be completed immediately.

Maybe you can meet a special soul that can ignite the stars.

Coupled with my various means of hole cards, if this continues, invasion will not be a problem at all.

Rhodes couldn't help opening his hands, as if bathed in the black dust soaring into the sky.

Everything about the monster disintegrates with the disappearance of its soul. This twisted darkness must exist in this world as a carrier.

But life doesn't have to be like that.

Someone once said that art is a rare miracle, chaos is just the sand that can be seen everywhere, and life is the most precious work of art born in infinite chaos, and the belief and emotion of life are the most shining gems in this work of art.

Rhodes agrees with this very much.

Disgusting, deformed and twisted monster, it's better to die.

Gentle and lovely ladies, aren’t they fragrant?
Hey.

Of course, the premise of all this is to be alive, and only those who are strong enough can survive.

Humph, I won't die.

The black dust dissipated quickly.

Rhodes found a lump of ashes from the thick ashes, which should be the ashes of this monster.

The ashes of monsters contain residual power, which has a certain value. The ashes of powerful monsters are relatively expensive, and can be used to make various spiritual items, and some can also be made into potions.

The ashes can be taken back and sold.

It's a pity that [Soul Ashes] can only make weak monster spirit bodies. Rhodes tried it once, and powerful monsters like the Demon of the Abyss cannot be made.

There should be more advanced recipes.

Rhodes thought.

Just don't know where to look.

However, a powerful soul is very precious, and the needs of the stars cannot be met, so it is unlikely to be used to make [soul ashes].

The remaining Treants and Plague Rats approached Rhodes. They were already scarred, and the black mist also had a certain erosive effect on them, but they fell apart and dissipated after a while.

After this battle was fought, the stock was used up all of a sudden, and a lot of supplies were consumed.

Rhodes felt a little sad.

He originally wanted to find a few reliable teammates to help him deal with monsters, but he didn't expect his teammates to be unreliable, forcing him to use his hole cards.

Be sure to find a few stronger ones next time.

Rhodes sighed, undid the signal bullet on his waist, input spiritual energy, and threw it lightly.

The signal bomb rose into the sky, bursting out with a strong red light, piercing through the black fog, and shining far away.

This is a necessary item to go out to perform missions. It is used to communicate, mark the location, prevent dispersal, etc. According to the different flashes of light, it can also transmit some short messages, such as "help", "reinforcement", "escape" and "danger" wait.

Sure enough, not long after, the roar of the iron wolf was heard.

"Brother Rhodes! Hold on, we are here to save you."

But for a moment, the Hulk's huge figure came into view.

"Brother Rhodes! Hold on... Uh, where is the monster? Was it thrown away by you?"

The Hulk looked left and right, as if afraid of a monster jumping out of nowhere.

Da Chong and Tiancha rushed to him, groping frantically on him.

"Are you hurt?"

"Are there any symptoms of discomfort?"

"Hurry up, take a sip of the spirit tree dew first, then go back and check carefully."

Rhodes was forced to take a sip of the spirit tree dew, and said helplessly, "I'm not injured, the monster is dead, look at the ashes in the ground."

"what?"

The three exclaimed together.

"Dead? How did he die? Has that guardian come over? Our rescue signal has just been sent out."

Rhodes said casually; "The monster has been seriously injured by you, I dragged him away for a while, and it died by itself."

The ability to summon monster spirits sounds so ominous that it's best left alone.

The three of Iron Wolf couldn't believe it.

Before the monster left, it did suffer a lot of damage, but it didn't look very fatal. Moreover, in the environment of black mist, the monster would be strengthened and recovered. How could it be dragged to death?

But the embers were right in front of them, and the monster's ashes were in his hands, so they couldn't believe it.

A smile finally appeared on the honest and honest face of the tiger: "I said that Brother Rhodes ran fast, and he must be safe and sound."

"Shut your stinking mouth!"

Iron Wolf spit at him angrily.

"Every time you say you're going to win, weird things happen. If something happens to Rhodes, I'll tear your mouth off."

The tiger said unconvincedly: "You are superstitious, don't Brother Rhodes stand in front of us?"

Tiancha smoothed things over and said gently: "In any case, the mission is finally completed. We also eliminated an additional strange monster. This is a long-term mission of the Military War Department. There are many rewards. This time we have already gained a lot. We Hurry up and finish the mission and go back."

Iron Wolf nodded, and after collecting some ashes, he returned to Qingcao Town.

After hearing the news of their successful return after completing the mission, the four of Rhodes received a warm welcome from Green Grass Town.

The mayor of Qingcao Town personally held a party for them. At least one tenth of the townspeople participated. The huge square was full of people celebrating. The fire priest of the church personally lit a bonfire for them. Men and women danced around the soaring flames, and the air was filled with the aromas of grilled meat and honey.

The mayor of Qingcao Town told them that this was the biggest attack in Qingcao Town in a year.

The four guards who were seriously injured are still awake, and the townspeople are very scared. No one wants to break the peaceful days and return to the life under the anxiety and panic.

That's why it's nice to hear that they've successfully neutralized the threat.

Rhodes also really felt their enthusiasm. At the party, everyone was invited by beautiful women or handsome men, including Tiancha who didn't look too young.

What made Rhodes unhappy was that he was invited by both beautiful women and handsome men.

Of course, none of the four agreed, and they bid farewell to the mayor after eating the green grass honey barbecue, a specialty of Qingcao Town.

Although people are reluctant, they can also understand.

After presenting many green grass specialties, they were sent out of town.

The four of them stepped on the rickshaw and finally returned to Wangcheng, and returned to A Duo's hunter branch.

But before completing the task, there are still a series of complicated procedures.

For this kind of high-star mission, the confirmation process is relatively cumbersome. Unlike the sewer, you only need to submit a few images with the hunter mark.

While the three Iron Wolves were busy, Rhodes sat in the tavern and waited.

He chose a corner, put his hands into his sleeves, made gestures, and came to the dream.

Rhodes saw at a glance that there were two huge souls floating on the soul altar.

[Soul of the Distortion Behemoth]

【Powerful Soul】

[The distortion behemoth is a pure dark creature, devouring and growing are its only instincts. 】

-

【Soul of the Demon of the Abyss】

【Powerful Soul】

[The demon of the abyss is an abnormal monster born from the characteristics of the abyss, but the broken abyss has greatly weakened its power. 】

-

The description of the soul of the demon of the abyss is a bit interesting, maybe you can verify it in the future.

Rhodes didn't hesitate too much, and put two souls into [Justice Execution] one after another.
