the last king of darkness

Chapter 248

"Rod!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison, Captain O'Hara was the first to react, and rushed forward, blocking Huiying's second sword.

Molly's mist quickly enveloped Rhodes, pulling him away from the danger zone.

A cloud of purple mist exploded from Annabe's body, transforming into a fully armed centaur.

She jumped over with one step, carried Rhodes on her back, flicked her front hoof, turned over and jumped out of the building in two steps.

In the rear, O'Hara, Konder, and Beowuld had already gotten into a ball with Gray Shadow.

Annabel asked anxiously, "Molly, how is Rhode's injury?"

Molly's calm voice came from the mist.

"The blade pierced the right lung, no corruption, no curse."

A bottle of blood essence flew out of Rhodes' body, and was poured into Rhodes' mouth under the transport of mist.

The blood liquid evaporated at the entrance, turning into red steam and spreading into Rhode's body, and his wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The blood flow gradually stopped, Rhodes woke up from a coma, and opened his eyes.

Annabelle almost cried with joy: "Rod, you're awake!"

Rhodes only felt the heat all over his body, and there was a throbbing pain in his chest, but it was no longer heavy. Recalling the moment when he was stabbed, he suddenly understood what happened, and shouted.

"Be careful, that monster is very strong. It is a monster with high concealment ability in a silent state. I didn't even see it at first!"

boom!
A loud bang!
The rotunda was knocked in half.

Beowuld flew out of the dust, blood dripping all over his body.

Immediately afterwards, the gray shadow flew out, and a flash of light pierced his forehead.

when!
It was O'Hara who resisted the sword again.

His pure steel body was extremely hard, his whole body was boiling with spiritual energy, and his two arms clamped the long sword like two steel pillars.

There was a harsh friction sound, like two pieces of steel rubbing against each other.

It was the first time for O'Hara to encounter a long object that could be pulled out after being caught by him, and shouted anxiously: "Konder! Hurry up!"

A thin figure silently pokes behind him, spiritual energy gathers on his fingers, his characteristic is "explosion", as long as it is poked by his fingertips, the object will burst.

Konder remained silent until half a step later, he suddenly exerted force, poked his finger upwards, and shouted angrily: "Go to hell! Monster!"

brush!
The gray shadow disappeared.

Konder poked the air, but before he could recover, his fingertips touched O'Hara.

Fortunately, he quickly dissipated his psionic energy, only bursting O'Hara's sleeve.

"What? How did it disappear?"

Rhodes shouted: "It's flashing! It can move in space! It's a hundred steps behind you!"

Everyone hurriedly turned their heads and saw the gray shadow.

It stopped, as if examining everyone.

Everyone also saw its figure clearly for the first time.

This is a very special monster.

It was wearing a gray robe, the robe was extremely old, and the dust had penetrated into the robe, like a long blanket woven from gray.

And the person under the gray robe is also gray, the dust has embedded in its withered face, even the whites of the eyes are also gray.

Only the long sword in its hand is extremely bright, this kind of light is not domineering and dazzling like the sun, but like the stars in the night sky, bright but not dazzling.

Rhodes kept staring at it.

In the eyes of the soul, its soul is very strange. The pure black ripples are strong and weak, and the waveform is jagged.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and Rhodes suddenly remembered what the king had said to him.

"No light, no light, this monster has a source!"

Combining the previous knowledge, he immediately judged that this is a strong monster!A fallen man who was once a man.

"He is the Firekeeper, the Firekeeper of Fanxing Town!"

Everyone woke up instantly.

Awei shouted: "Master Rhodes is right, he is not only the fire guardian, but also the fire priest of the kingdom of stars! The sword in his hand is the star sword, forged by the power of the stars, only the high-level fire priest To hold it!"

"After the fire in Fanxing Town went out, he has been silent in the golden Horcrux for 500 years!"

"The reason for his fall is related to fire, and the golden Horcrux is his obsession, so as soon as Lord Rhode touched the Horcrux, he immediately awakened him in a state of deep silence!"

Rhodes originally only had a vague idea, but as soon as Awei said it, the whole incident became clear at once.

Reminiscent of its extremely fast speed and flashing ability, Rhodes immediately realized that it probably devoured the fire seed of the guardian fire.

According to Wang, the fire seed is a very special source matter.

The source matter is the source that has been materialized and exists in the material world.

And the source is the law after quantification.

They are the same in essence, they are all manifestations of laws, but their existence forms are different.

And the special source matter of fire seed has the laws of the three pillar fields at the same time.

time, space, and activity.

The speed of the gray shadow is astonishingly fast. It may be that it has sped up its own time. The ability to use flickering teleportation is due to the use of the characteristics of space.

The only remaining activity has not yet been shown, but it is already close to ten.

Rhodes remembered very clearly that the king once told him that next to every seed of the holy fire, there was a monster once named king.

Then, next to the kindling seed of the guardian fire, there may also be monsters once called fire guardians. They devoured the kindling seed and became powerful enemies with time, space and active domain abilities.

Rhode immediately told everyone his guess and said.

"The king told me that if you kill the monster that devours the fire, you can get the fire."

Awei also suddenly said: "So that's the case. No wonder we didn't find the fire in Fanxing Town. We thought it was lost, but we didn't expect it to be swallowed. This kind of thing is relatively rare."

Everyone's spirits were extremely excited at once.

Obtaining the fire seed is the first-class achievement in the royal city. Only by igniting the fire of protection can human beings expand into the darkness.

How bright the fire is, the size of the human settlement.

And there are not many fires in Wangcheng, so they can only be used for emergency.

This is also the biggest reason for naysayers against expansion - there is no tinder.

They got a kindling, which is the biggest incentive for the main fighters and the biggest fight for the neutrals.

Moreover, they can directly rekindle the fire in Fanxing Town without applying to Wangcheng.

How inspiring is this for all who yearn for human victory?

O'Hara and the others began to pour potions quickly, and Beowuld even took the aphrodisiac that he had treasured for a long time.

Rhodes played his duties and kept an eye on the gray-robed man.

"Its soul waveform vibrates very quickly. According to the strength of the spiritual energy that erupted just now, it should be at the beginning of the strong level."

Strong-level monsters are very powerful enemies, much stronger than fierce-level monsters.

And monsters with sources are much stronger than ordinary monsters.

Molly immediately ordered: "Ah Wei, go and tell everyone not to come near here."

Awei immediately turned around and ran away.

Annabelle asked anxiously, "Why? Don't we call support?"

Molly replied calmly: "This is a strong monster, there is no need for combatants below level six to come here."

At this moment, the gray-robed man suddenly moved, and its figure turned into a gray shadow, rushing towards Awei who was going away like lightning.

when!
O'Hara had quick eyes and quick hands, and stopped it head-on. The long sword hit his arm, making the sound of gold and iron intersecting.

O'Hara felt a psychic shock, and the pure steel body seemed to be unable to support it.

Hui Ying slashed with his sword again, and O'Hara received the sword with both hands, but the huge impact made him take a step back.

He knew right away that his body would definitely be hacked apart if he continued like this, and that the nature of the soul needed the support of psionic energy. Once the psionic energy was exhausted, pure steel would turn into pure flesh, and he would die with a single strike of the sword.

When the third sword came down, O'Hara directly received the sword with his fragile chest, clamped the sword body with his arms, and shouted: "Quick!"

The tacit understanding of his old partner made Konder dodge behind the monster, and pointed at it with a burst.

This is their most common tactic.

The man in gray robe started flashing again.

Rhodes shouted: "The right side! Nine o'clock direction! Two hundred steps!"

"Roger that!"

Beowuld dodged behind it at a speed comparable to that of the gray-robed man, and with his hands full of spiritual energy, he punched the gray-robed man on the head with a heavy blow.

boom!
Like hitting a big cloud of ash.

Dust covered the entire square.

Rhodes shouted anxiously: "Not dead, Beowuld, be careful of the side!"

With a groan of pain, Beowuld couldn't dodge in time, and was pierced through his right leg.

Fortunately, O'Hara and Konder caught up in time and fought with the monster.

Beowuld raised his head and drank another bottle of heme, and turned back to join the fight.

The four groups of figures were fighting fiercely in the dust, and the strong fluctuations of spiritual energy spread out like a lake under a torrential rain. The three of them were all fighters who were good at close-to-body physical combat. With fast fighting, the four groups of shadows staggered back and forth like lightning , it is not clear at all.

Rhodes rode on Annabelle, keeping a close eye on the battle situation, and constantly providing various information.

But the three still quickly fell to the downwind.

The speed of the gray-robed man is too fast, it can accelerate its own time at any time, making its speed doubled.

If it wasn't for Rhodes' insight into the psionic energy waveform when using the acceleration ability, and reminding him in advance every time, the three of them would have collapsed long ago.

The same is true of its flickering ability, Rhodes can see slight space ripples, and find its flickering position in advance.

But even with such help, they couldn't resist the grey-robed man's fierce attack.

It will take some time for the silent monster to fully recover and awaken all its spiritual energy. It is far from its strongest state at present.

The gray-robed man became stronger and faster as he fought, while the three of them became weaker and weaker, with more and more wounds, and the hemoglobin could not be fully recovered, and their spiritual energy was consumed even more.

Rhodes was anxious, he couldn't participate in this level of close combat, and the psionic cannon couldn't hit such a nimble figure.

After a while, O'Hara was pierced through the shoulder blade by a sword. Although Beowuld and Konder pushed the monster away in time, it also showed that O'Hara's pure steel body was about to fail.

Rhode's heart sank, he must join the battle.

He took out Condensation Light and loaded his only one hundred times spiritual bullet into it.

This spirit world bullet contains a hundred spirit-sealing bullets. It is extremely unstable and is in a state of being sealed by Rhodes.

The condensed power Rhodes has long known that fifty times the spirit world bullet can instantly kill anything in Fanxing Town, but it is too expensive and he is reluctant to use it.

As long as a hundred times the spiritual world bullet can hit it, it will definitely cause damage.

"Molly, speed me up, I'm about to get on!"

Annabelle said anxiously: "Rhode, let's retreat first! My troops are very flexible, they won't be able to catch up."

Rhodes rolled over from the centaur girl, and patted her buttocks with a smile.

"Horse, if anyone is injured, carry him away quickly."

Annabelle's pretty face flushed, but she still replied, "Okay."

A strong sense of speed came from the mist attached to his body, which was the power from the black silk of the wind.

Molly said calmly: "Lord Rhodes, I can provide limited defense and attack monsters to a certain extent. Please use me carefully."

Rhodes felt his blood boil and shouted: "Okay! I'm on it!"

He took out the "Flesh Armor" from the dream, and had a flash of inspiration.
