the last king of darkness

Chapter 201 Starfire
Cape Wrath is a huge canyon.

Countless cracks have been split under the towering peaks, and countless corpse-eating creatures wander here.

They have been completely decomposed and no longer feed on corpses, but hunting warm life is still an instinct engraved deep in the soul.

This is an extremely dangerous location. All the conquest or hunting teams that have been going out have listed this place as an extremely dangerous area, and they will not choose to pass through it unless necessary.

But for them, it's a path that must be taken.

Dmitry had already prepared for the eventuality, but he didn't expect that Rhodes' line of sight penetrated the solid matter to a depth of thirty yards.

Even through the thick mountain peaks, he could see the wandering monster souls on the other side.

The surge of psionic energy has greatly increased the strength of the eye of the soul. Rhodes even wondered if the king deliberately suppressed him and said that he didn't feel it.

Hmm... remember when you deal with Wang in the future, Wang is very careful, don't offend him.

Led by such super powerful eyes of the soul, they passed through the Cape of Windwrath smoothly, without even seeing a single hair of the Lifestealer.

Tommen almost dropped his jaw in shock: "What the hell are you?"

Dmitry took a deep look at Rhodes, and replied in a deep voice, "He is a complete clairvoyant."

Tommen said loudly: "Impossible, I have worked with several fully clairvoyant! No one is as perverted as him!"

Rhodes said with a smile: "I said that with me, the mission must be successful, let's go."

Tommen grunted, "Speak as if you saved all mankind."

Although he was complaining, his momentum was much weaker.

The next location is the Sword Coast.

This is a complex area composed of mountains, corrupt forests, and city ruins surrounded by black mist. Its monsters are quite diverse, mainly the fallen human powerhouses of ancient times.

This makes the Sword Coast a much more dangerous area than Cape Wrath.

These former powerhouses have changeable abilities and different fighting styles, and it is difficult for fighters who are used to fighting monsters to adapt.

But Rhodes led them through the area again without any risk by relying on his super spiritual vision, and even killed a living corpse blocking the way they had to pass.

This living corpse was wearing a rotten black bucket, with strong concealment and perception abilities. Rhodes didn't see it until within a hundred yards, and it was almost discovered by it first.

Dmitry shook the "Bell of Silence", creating a field of silence, which can reduce the disturbance caused by the battle within a certain range and avoid the expansion of the aftermath.

Tommen and Dmitry then attacked it.

Both of them had strong close combat ability, and soon seriously injured the living corpse.

And Rhodes, who was ambushing behind him, saw the timing and rushed forward to kill it.

[Soul of Thieves King Mitus]

Rhode looked at the newly acquired soul and couldn't help but smile.

This soul is completely different from the souls he obtained before. Before [The Devourer of Darkness] was quantified, all the souls he obtained were a ball of fire.

To be precise, all he got was the fire of the soul.

But now, this soul is a human-shaped mist, similar to what he saw with his spiritual vision.

It was quietly sealed in the crystal wall on the soul altar, as if the monster hadn't died, but just entered a dream.

The "quantified" change is so big?What is the most complete soul like this?
Rhodes was overjoyed, and after the mission was over, he had to study the magical effect of this "most complete soul".

Dmitry rang the "bell of silence" again, dispelling the field of silence.

The whole battle was fast, clean and neat. Between the rise and fall of the rabbit, the living corpse had already become ashes, and the movement caused was very small. After being covered by the silent field, it was almost nothing.

Unfortunately, bad luck, no ashes.

Tommen gave Rhodes a complicated look, and muttered, "Something."

Rhodes said with a smile: "I said, the mission must be successful."

Tommen pouted: "Don't be complacent, the real danger lies behind."

Dmitry nodded: "The most dangerous thing is that after we place the rotten substance at the first node, once the rotten breath is released, the tide of monsters will form a storm point here. Shortly across a distance of 30 yards, reach the second node, and place the second rot."

Rhodes nodded slightly, the danger is conceivable.

But he still firmly believes that he will succeed, and at the same time, he will definitely obtain the pieces of the Platform of Light that manipulate dreams.

Because this is the task assigned by the chief dean.

After leaving the Sword Coast, the last location is the Land of Everseal.

This is a wasteland full of strong acid. Black thick liquid is constantly spreading on the wasteland. Apart from the acid monster made of strong acid, there are no other monsters here.

"You can fly here."

Dmitry said.

"The reason is unknown. We speculate that there may be an ancient god hiding under the wasteland. Strong acid and acid monsters are its derivatives. Its breath makes no other monsters exist in this area."

Rhodes was surprised: "There are ancient gods here too? Didn't Wangcheng say that there are no gods?"

Tommen sneered: "Do you believe in lying to children?"

Of course Rhodes didn't believe it.

But the idea that gods are more powerful beings is advisable, he's just a little worried.

"Will the Old Gods be awakened when we place the rot?"

Dmitry shook his head slightly: "It's unlikely, the silent ancient god is hard to wake up."

Tommen sneered, "You're starting to worry? Where's your inexplicable confidence?"

Rhodes didn't answer, just said: "I can't fly, pull me."

Dmitry held Rhode's arm and rose into the air.

Tomman sneered: "You didn't learn the air stepping method? Are you a high-level combatant?"

No one answered, and the three flew forward in silence.

Below them is an endless black-brown land, only dark-brown acid monsters wandering on it.

Rhode suddenly asked, "Can we change the direction of the Kuroshio if we place rot so far away from Trorian?"

Tommen said coldly, "You don't even know what the Kuroshio is?"

Rhodes glanced at him: "Isn't the Kuroshio the tide of monsters rushing towards us?"

Tommen sneered, "Another idiot deceived by fairy tales, how on earth did you get into this team? You're not really 16 years old as you seem, are you?"

Rhodes frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Do you think the Kuroshio is a disaster against us? Is it a general attack by evil monsters on bright humans?"

Tommen spread his arms wide, showing an icy smile.

"No, stop being arrogant. In this cold dark world, human beings are just a speck of dust. Nothing cares about us. The Kuroshio is the throbbing in the dark world, a wave caused by some unknown influence."

"It has no rules, it can happen at any time, and only a small part of it can be observed by humans."

"Most black tides don't come to Trorian, and we've never actually confronted a real black tide."

"What Wangcheng is devoting all his energy to defend is just a small aftermath of the Kuroshio. The endless tide of monsters in our eyes is just a corner of a larger existence sweeping past us."

"The real Kuroshio is boundless, and its front alone exceeds the entire territory of Trorian humans."

"But such an existence is just a splash in the dark sea."

"What we resisted with all our strength was just a drop of water flying out of this spray."

"The Trorian humans with countless strong men are just a bug living in the corner of the Ember Mountains."

"The sacred fire that sustains the entire human existence is but a spark in the endless night."

Tommen lowered his hand, his voice lowered.

"Therefore, human beings have no chance of winning. We will perish eventually. This is the age of darkness, and the era of fire has long since passed away."

No one spoke, only the howling of the wind remained.

Tommen turned his head, expecting to see a dejected and hopeless face.

Just like him back then.

However, what caught his eyes was a smile.

"Bugs have never been defeated."

"And a single spark can start a prairie fire."
