the last king of darkness

Chapter 22 Invasion
This sleep was very comfortable, and when Rhodes woke up again, he only felt refreshed and a little more energetic.

"This time I will be able to assemble it!"

Rhode rubbed his hands, sat at the table, and started assembling this strange firearm again.

As time passed, Rhodes has been unsuccessful.

The complexity of this firearm is much higher than he thought, and it is different from physical firearms. There are many components that he does not know, and he does not dare to use brute force. If it is damaged, it will be difficult to handle.

However, the fundamentals of engineering are the same.

Moreover, boys are naturally proficient in firearms and weapons. Rhodes has liked assembling machinery or robots since he was a child. This kind of craft is what he is good at.

"Well... this internal plug should not be placed here, it should be near this air return port."

"The gun stock should be under the piston, the recoil spring should be hung behind the spiritual pressure gauge, here is the gas guide rod... here is the push trigger, um--the piston should be connected in the middle... This design concept is really advanced, and the psionic power can be directly The drug base that ignites the bullet, this is a gun that does not need to be sparked, because we are the lighter ourselves."

After figuring this out, Rhodes made rapid progress, his hands flying up and down nimbly.

Soon, a brand new crow-style spiritual gun appeared in front of him.

The table was clean, not a single part was left.

"Haha, I succeeded!"

"do it again."

About an hour later, Rhodes was able to disassemble or assemble the gun proficiently, and thoroughly grasped every detail of it inside and out.

Now, there is only one last thing left.

buy bullets.

"Raven" used real silver bullets, and he had already used up the previous seven rounds.

Considering unexpected accidents and other situations, Rhodes thought that at least fifty rounds should be bought.

Fortunately, true silver bullets are not controlled items and can be purchased from many places inside and outside the academy.

Unfortunately, it doesn't come cheap, costing seven silver cords a round.

Rhodes only has 42 silver cables in total, which is only enough to buy six rounds.

Six shots, if you shoot fast, it will be finished in six seconds.

Faster than the instant shot man.

Of course not. Fortunately, Rhodes found green hair. His family opened a shop, and many businessmen were attached to his door.

Upon hearing Rhode's request, the green hair patted his chest and agreed.

He found an "acquaintance" who guaranteed him a loan of fifty rounds.

"This is to help you because we are like-minded people."

The green hair handed him two boxes of real silver bullets.

"I really don't know why you are in such a hurry to get so many bullets? I said, don't mess around in the academy, and be careful not to be caught by the guards. It's not as simple as deducting credits. Weapons can only be used in the training ground. "

"Also, don't snatch the teacher I'm looking for next time. I haven't learned how to use psychic powers yet, it's all because you robbed me of the opportunity to communicate with Teacher Karaman."

He babbled a lot, and wanted to talk to him about the learning method called "Spiritual Blending", which is actually "voyeurism + obscenity".

But Rhodes had no time to pay attention to him, took the bullet and ran away, stomping the latter angrily.

"This guy is so heartless, Wayne, let's go to the Leprechaun Bar."

-

Rhodes ran back to the dormitory, sent the gun and bullets into the dreamland several times, and everything was ready.

After making a final confirmation that there was nothing missing, Rhodes returned to the dreamland.

Walking to the back of the obelisk, lightly touching the surface of the obelisk, the blood-red text emerged and flickered slightly.

"Two rounds of sunset" has long since become "one round of sunset".

Although Rhodes hasn't seen the sun since he came to this world, people in this world still divide the day into morning, noon, evening, and night, and roughly follow these times to work and rest.

That proves that, at least in the past, there was a sun here.

It's just covered by the black mist.

If it is inferred according to common sense, at today's eve, the last round of sunset will end, and an unknown invasion will come.

Rhodes glanced at the pocket watch he brought in specially.

The time is now quarter to seven.

A day here is equal to four full hours, one full hour is equal to four clock hours, and one hour is equal to nine quarters.

According to this rule, Rhodes calculated in his mind and knew that it was about [-]:[-] p.m. earth time.

There are two 10 minutes.

Rhodes once again organized his supplies.

The spirit grass juice, spirit tree dew, and red powder are all in his arms.

The "Raven" has already been debugged, and Rhodes fired a shot into the open space, proving that it can work normally in the dream.

After adding a real silver bullet, Rhodes is already waiting for an opportunity.

Twenty minutes passed in a flash, noon had passed, and evening came.

The sun has gone down.

Rhode closed the pocket watch with a snap, his spirit tensed up.

Nothing has changed.

The gray mist still flows slowly, and the pale land is still silent.

This faded dream is not unusual for the time being.

Until Rhodes looked up and saw the infinite distance.

The gray mist rolling there has been dyed black.

It spread with frightful speed, like a black sunset on the horizon.

The quiet and mysterious atmosphere was broken, and a daunting danger approached.

On one side of the obelisk, even though Rhodes didn't touch it, the bright red text still emerged.

It flickered quickly, like a sign of the end of the world.

Rhode's heart reached his throat, his right hand held the gun tightly, and his spiritual energy was on the verge of firing.

Suddenly, a huge figure stepped out from the black mist.

At this moment, all of Rhodes' fear, worry and timidity disappeared from the bottom of his heart, leaving only peace.

He skillfully summoned the psionic energy, tapped his eyebrows, and opened the eyes of the soul.

The dream world has not changed, but the image of the monster is clearer.

It is about five meters tall, covered in black fur, with huge claws and misshapen legs. Its head is invisible and only two glowing red eyes.

Rhodes raised the spiritual spear, spiritual energy gathered at an unprecedented speed, and the spiritual pressure gauge soared into the sky.

But the next moment, the spirit gun didn't fire.

Huge sharp claws have already pierced his body and tore his head open.

The monster killed him in an instant at a speed beyond the limit of his vision.

The severe pain came from the depths of the soul, the world became distorted and broken, and darkness enveloped everything.

When Rhodes opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the dormitory.

Neat bookshelves, large wardrobes, exquisite rooms, bright light, and a faint fragrance floating in the air.

Everything was the same as before he entered the dreamland.

How is this going?

Rhodes was at a loss for a moment, but then a tearing pain came from the depths of the nerves, and the headache was almost split open.

Rhodes fell off the bed, the continuous severe pain made him almost unable to think, only the instinct to roll was left.

The bench was knocked over by him, the desk was knocked down by him, and a small blue bag fell on his chest.

Rhodes' already slackened will suddenly found a starting point.

Kashan’s words came to mind yesterday:

"This is Violet juice, it's used for pain relief. I heard that you guys..."

Analgesia!

Rhodes' broken mind only understood this word.

He grabbed the packet and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

The moment he bit it, poison violet juice splashed out in his mouth, and a bitter and sour taste quickly climbed up along the nerves.

Sanity recovered from the sour taste, and the severe pain subsided in the sour taste. Finally, Rhodes became aware of the existence of thinking.

He knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, feeling as if he had returned from hell.

When I stood up, I realized that my whole body was soaked.

The severe tearing pain still continued, but it had already dropped to the point where humans could bear it.

Rhodes looked at his hands, which were empty.

I just died?
Did I return to the physical world after being killed in the dream?
The severe pain came continuously and rhythmically, but it couldn't hinder Rhodes' thinking.

He remembered very clearly that he had this kind of headache once before, when he first came to this world, his head was always in such severe pain.

It was later discovered that this was because the shadow named [Prince of the North] was attacking the obelisk.

So, now that giant wolf-like monster is also attacking the obelisk?

If the obelisk is smashed, am I really dead?

A strong chill rose from his back, and Rhodes knew that he had to return to the dreamland quickly.

Even if he is not the opponent of that monster at all.

Rhodes endured the pain, folded his thumbs together, and squeezed out the lightning symbol.

The eyes are blurred for an instant, and the soul soars into the sky.

The moment he regained his sight, he found that he was standing at the position just now, with the spiritual gun, real silver bullets and red powder falling under his feet.

And the black monster is attacking the obelisk violently.

The cyan stone tablet is already cracked and crumbling.

The pain became clearer, and the poisonous pansy juice couldn't be suppressed any longer. Rhode quickly picked up the gun, and his spiritual energy instantly rose.

boom!
A huge aura flashed at the muzzle of the gun, pure white rays shot out, and the real silver bullet hit the monster.

Tiny stars scattered and splashed.

The monster was unscathed.

But in the next moment, a golden light suddenly emerged from the monster's chest, and the sharp blade of light pierced through the hit part, tearing it in half.
