the last king of darkness

Chapter 250 The Wine of Victory
Annabelle felt like her horse's hooves were about to crack.

The monster behind her became more and more terrifying, and the powerful psychic energy oppressed her almost out of breath.

The strength of this Corrupted Flame Guardian surpassed everyone's imagination. A strong monster is the biggest threat to Trorian in a normal state. Although it is only the most basic level, it is also the most powerful that Annabelle has encountered so far. monster.

She is not like her older sisters, although she has the magic awakening (liberation), one of the seven characteristics, but she grows too slowly, and the awakened state is only a weaker centaur.

Her older sisters have already become the backbone of the royal city, but she is still in the ranks of ordinary players in the secret branch.

In the process of her growing up, too many people were disappointed in her. It was very uncomfortable to degenerate from a highly anticipated genius to a silent mediocrity. Gloating eyes can kill.

She has suffered, worked hard, and finally compromised, admitting that she is mediocre, but she still firmly believes that she is useful.

like now!

Annabelle turned her hooves, and the horse turned sideways, and a beautiful 180-degree drain drifted away the gray-robed monster again.

The long sword of the stars pierced the air again, and the violent psionic energy split the entire street in half.

Monsters transformed from strong human beings in ancient times are the most difficult to deal with. Their super fighting instinct makes their actual combat capabilities surpass most monsters of the same level.

"Are you ready, Rhodes?" Annabelle asked loudly.

The gray-robed monster is chasing after it. The long sword in its hand is as bright as a star, full of violent spiritual energy. The power of the star sword is gradually revealed. As long as it is rubbed by a little sword light, the whole person will be torn apart. smash.

"almost!"

"You said the same thing a quarter of an hour ago!"

"This time it's true!"

"Just now you said it was true."

"Shut up! Flashing, up there!"

Annabe's front hooves slammed, the horse's body swung away like a windmill, and the gray-robed monster swooped down and stabbed the ground with a sword.

With a bang, the entire ground collapsed, and all the buildings within a hundred steps fell into the deep pit.

Annabe jumped away quickly, the whole body of the horse was covered with sweat, and the horse's hooves were also a little weak, which was a sign of loss of strength, and the awakening state became unstable, and her strength was almost exhausted.

And the monsters are still alive and well,

"Rod, do you think we will fail?"

"will not."

"Do you think... I am useful?"

Rhodes replied in surprise: "Why are you useless?" Turning his head and looking again, the huge amount of spiritual energy consumption instantly emptied his spiritual energy, and activated [Awakening] for the next time.

Annabe below her became faster, and she even opened a little distance, allowing Rhodes to stare a few more times. Frequently using Soul Reaper on the same target greatly increased its spiritual energy consumption, but also A certain resistance of the opponent was greatly consumed, and the success rate was rapidly increasing from the feedback.

"There is hope! Hang in there, Annabelle!"

The horse under her crotch was sweating profusely, and she was still running desperately. The numerous buildings in the ancient town helped her. The monster can't catch up.

After No. 70 [Awakening], Rhodes felt as if he had broken through a certain limit, the monster's spirit became very fragile, and the success rate of soul harvesting was greatly improved.

The gray-robed monster felt a mortal threat, and its psychic energy became more violent, pressing behind it like a moving eye of a storm.

No. 80 times【Awakening】.

Rhodes clearly felt that Annabelle's muscles were convulsing, but she still ran wildly. They were just relying on a certain inertia, and once they stopped, they couldn't get up again.

No. 90 times【Awakening】.

Rhode's eyes were about to burst open. One time [Awakening] could no longer sustain the consumption of one soul harvest. Using super-high-loaded powers caused his mental pain to be extremely painful.

1 and seven [wake up].

Rhodes' pupils dilated extremely, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and blood flowed from the corners of his eyes. The spiritual energy was like thorns gushing out from the soul, and the tearing pain almost made people faint.

But he still stared at the gray-robed monster, and accurately launched the soul harvesting.

This time, the feedback of failure did not come. An invisible sickle fell from the void, cutting off the monster's soul. An even more invisible force turned it into a black thread, sinking into Rhodes' body .

【Very powerful soul】

The gray-robed monster slumped down from mid-air and fell to the ground like a pile of dust. The light on the star sword dimly went out, and the spiritual energy quietly dissipated like a storm, just like a shower stopped.

Annabelle was still running, and Rhodes said weakly, "Don't run."

Annabelle didn't stop, she seemed to have lost consciousness, only the obsession with running remained.

Rhodes patted the centaur's buttocks heavily, and shouted: "Don't run away, the monster is dead! My eggs are going to be crushed!"

Annabe just woke up like a dream, and murmured, "Dead... dead?"

Rhodes replied loudly: "Yes! Dead! I can't die anymore! Stop quickly, I'm afraid you will die of exhaustion!"

With a bang, the centaur fell sideways, throwing Rhodes to the ground and pinning one of his feet.

"Ouch! Annabe! You hurt me!"

Annabe turned a deaf ear to it, and sobbed.

"I...we succeeded, we killed a strong monster, parents, have you seen...I did it, I am useless, but I am useful, I am really useful..."

She burst into tears and wailed loudly, completely forgetting that Rhodes was still under her body.

Rhodes couldn't get away, so he had to take out the one-time military crow messenger, write the good news of victory, squeeze out a little spiritual power, and the white crow messenger broke through the air.

peripheral.

The noise inside had stopped for quite a while, and the violent spiritual energy fluctuations had also disappeared. Everyone was uneasy, which meant two possibilities.

One, their commander has triumphed.

Second, the monster killed the enemy and returned to peace.

Everyone silently prayed in their hearts that this was the former possibility.

Rhodes' former teammates continued to recount his past miraculous deeds to boost their confidence.

Among them, Raistlin, Caramon, and Iger are the core. They have the most stories, the most detailed, and they sound the most real.

"...He has never failed. A genius like me is ashamed in front of him. The only thing I can be proud of is that he doesn't have as many girlfriends as me..."

A white spirit crow flew over, and everyone turned their eyes instantly, and no one paid any attention to Caramon, who was so popular just now.

The spirit crow flew to Molly's eyes, turned into a piece of silver light, bent and twisted in the air, forming two large characters.

"Won."

In an instant, huge cheers soared into the sky.

A smile appeared on Molly's serious and cold face. Although it disappeared quickly, it also surprised those who knew her. Molly, the legendary cold-faced beauty, can actually smile?
Aunt Uther jumped up and rushed towards the penalty area.

"My little Rhodes! Be sure to hold on, Big Sister Uther is coming soon!"

Everyone then rushed in.

Molly turned into a mist and leaped among the crowd, and soon came to the front of the team.

As you can see along the way, the traces of battle in the area are shocking. There are collapsed land, split roads, and collapsed houses everywhere.

When everyone finally found the commander, they found that he was lying on the ground with a girl in his arms. The wet chest showed that the girl had cried loudly in his arms.

The two were motionless, and the exhaustion after a fierce battle made them fall asleep like this.

Everyone stopped breathing, only Caramon wailed:
"Are you here again? Annabelle has promised to have dinner with me..."

At this time, Awei found the Sword of Stars not far away, and found a fiery red seed in the ashes.

The light of the fire flowed on the seeds, looming.

"It is the tinder of the guardian fire!"

She held up the seed and shouted loudly.

"It's kindling! We can ignite the guardian fire of Fanxing Town!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then, huge cheers resounded through Fanxing Town like a sea tide.

-

Empire.

Uptown.

For the first time, Manolo Bana gathered so many opponents.

They are all people who will be damaged by the king's new law and Trorian's expansion. They desperately hope that the expedition team in Fanxing Town will return with a disastrous defeat, so as to prove that darkness is invincible, expansion is self-defeating, Huddling in the corner of the dead ember mountain is the only way for human beings to survive, and going out of the mountain will inevitably lead to destruction.

But the development of Fanxing Town made them worried, and the greedy giants of Mehra contracted their logistics materials, which made them unable to start.A group of people also appeared in Wangcheng, publicly advocating the inevitable victory of Fanxing Town in the major legions, and asking the soldiers to voluntarily apply to be transferred to Fanxing Town to expand the territory of mankind.

The leader is a hunter named Awei, who is very shrewd and difficult to deal with. They failed to do black hands several times, and many people were arrested by the internal affairs court.

The continuous bad news made many people unable to sit still, but Manolo Bana, one of the leaders who were publicly opposed, summoned them at this time and announced a great news to them.

"I learned through the method of Sagus' prophecy that there is a very powerful monster lurking in the depths of Fanxing Town. Its strength can reach the level of a vicious and serious threat."

Everyone could hardly believe their ears.

Wangcheng distinguishes the strength of a monster or a group of monsters by the size of the threat, starting from a small threat to a huge threat, a total of nine levels.

A major threat is the third level next to the extra major threat.

If the word vicious is added, it means that there are other troubles, such as immortality, resurrection, black field, berserk and so on.

One naysayer asked: "What is the total combat rating of the expeditionary team?"

"About 5000, with no high-ranking combatants, they are negligible until a significant threat."

"Yes, this is at least a monster of a strong and elementary level. Without third-level combatants, they can only be slaughtered like cattle in Hei Niu Village."

An opponent hesitated: "Then, we are not..."

"Yes, I've won!"

"Hahaha, deserve it!"

"That's right, this thousand-mile mountain depression is our homeland. There are dangers everywhere in the darkness. If we go out, we will kill ourselves."

"Master Gula, is your prophecy reliable?"

Manolo Bana gave a mysterious smile.

"Absolutely reliable, this is a prophecy of destiny, and it will never go wrong."

There was a burst of laughter in the venue.

"Okay! I will invest a lot of money to expand my food workshop. The Sigwi workshop should no longer be controlled by Wangcheng, and the waste that can't afford food can go to death!"

"Hahaha, that's right, the more the king forbids us, the more we will do it."

"Servant, bring me some wine, good Samwell red wine."

In the warm atmosphere, sweet red blood wine overflowed from the crystal tower on the dining table, refracting colorful light under the reflection of the fire.

Opponents toasted and raised their glasses.

The party turned into a banquet, everyone was in high spirits, and Manolo Bana was extremely proud. Through such an accurate prophecy, his prestige will inevitably rise to a higher level, and when the plan is implemented in the future, the power will be even greater point.

At this moment, a spirit crow messenger flew into the restaurant and turned into a piece of silver writing in front of Manolobana.

"The fire of Fanxing Town has been ignited, the monsters in the town have been wiped out, and the fallen people transformed by the high-level fire priest of the Starry Kingdom have been killed."

There was a sudden silence in the restaurant, as if shrouded in a silent field.

Ping!
The wine glass in Manolobana's hand fell to the ground, and the broken glass was soaked in the blood-red wine, making it even more crystal clear.
