the last king of darkness

Chapter 271 The Last Chance
A silver-white psychic floating vehicle landed in front of the gate of the Fanxing Town Hall.

Surrounded by dozens of guards wearing silver robes and silver rings on their chests, Mephis finally returned to Fanxing Town.

The captain of the guard found Rhodes and warned: "There is a problem with Mephis's soul curse. We can't encapsulate her other two characteristics. We can only limit her ability with the engraving that suppresses spiritual energy."

"Please be careful not to overuse her. The suppression imprint is very sensitive. Once activated, it will directly destroy her soul."

Rhodes frowned and said, "How can you use such a dangerous thing? Isn't there a safer way?"

The captain of the guard said lightly: "You don't know what is the most dangerous at all. You only have your achievements and honors in your eyes. If Mephis loses control, it will cause more damage to Trorian than you can build a hundred star towns." big."

Rhodes raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What are you, dare to say such things here? What do you mean if you lose control? If Mephis is really the Son of Destruction, the king would have killed her a long time ago. Stay until now? Do you think your wisdom surpasses that of the king?"

An angry look flashed across the guard captain's face, but he couldn't refute Rhodes' words.

The king is like a god in everyone's heart. Although the king has become surly and weird in recent years, his lofty image is still inviolable. No one dares to say that his wisdom is higher than the king.

And in this matter, Wang's actions made it difficult for all the people who made the Silver Vow to understand.

He snorted coldly and turned to leave, but was held back by Rhodes.

"Remove this suppression engraving for me, or replace it with something safer, otherwise you don't want to leave."

The captain of the guard looked at him coldly, and replied in a polite but stiff voice.

"I'm sorry, but your highest position is just the Hand of the King. You are also the defender of Fanxing Town and the third-level commander. You have no right to order the Silver Pledge Forbidden Armed Forces directly under the Supreme Council."

Rhodes sneered: "Molly."

"exist."

"Show him what authority is."

The tall, glamorous female assistant immediately took out Rhode's alternate elder's robe.

Stepping forward, she put on the robe and belt for him meticulously.

Then take out the appointment contract of the alternate elder, and unfold it in front of the captain of the guard.

She looked at him sternly, and said in a condescending and indifferent tone: "Please pay attention to your wording, Your Excellency Rhodes is now an alternate elder of the Supreme Council of Elders, and according to the rules of Wangcheng, he has the right to order you to act affairs within the scope."

The air froze at this moment.

Rhodes, who was wearing a golden and red elder robe, looked like a superior, and he no longer had that youthful childishness.

The female assistant on the side was even more oppressive.

The guard captain's face turned blue and red, he never expected that this person would be promoted again in such a short period of time.

After becoming an alternate elder, half of his foot has stepped into the highest level of the royal city.

In his capacity, he is indeed qualified to issue orders to him.

But with such a compromise, the captain of the guard was extremely unwilling.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but he was afraid of causing trouble to the Forbidden Armed Forces.

In the final analysis, the Silver Pledge is the real unshakable subject of the Royal City, and the Forbidden Armed Forces is just an institution under the Silver Pledge. Because the leaders are too tough and don't know how to turn around, they have offended many people, and life is not easy now.

After the captain of the guard was silent for a while, he still chose to compromise.

"This is the restraint ring, which can resist the lethal effect of suppressing the engraving, but the soul will still be severely vibrated, leading to fainting or coma."

He put a silver bracelet on Memphis.

Rhodes was dissatisfied: "Can't you cancel the engraving?"

The captain of the guard said angrily: "This is my biggest concession. It is absolutely impossible to cancel the suppressed engraving!"

After speaking, he boarded the floating vehicle without looking back, and quickly left with the guards.

"Alright."

Rhodes actually knew that it was impossible to solve them all.

As long as the possibility of Mephis' sudden sudden death is avoided, anyway, the main one who kills the enemy is himself.

"It's uncomfortable to wear."

Rhodes untied the elder's robe, returned it to Molly, and changed back to the previous appearance.

There was a little disappointment in Molly's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

She put away her robe and contract and returned to the hall.

Until this time, Rhodes had no time to turn his gaze to Memphis.

This girl is completely different from when I first saw her.

She was wearing a taboo gray robe, long black hair, taupe eyes, average appearance, only a bit girlish, with some freckles near the bridge of the nose, not too tall, making her look like she hadn't grown up same as children.

However, she is still Memphis.

That his best partner.

Rhode walked up with a smile and stretched out his hand.

"Long time no see, Mephis, I've missed you since you left, I'm glad you can come back."

Memphis looked at him, as if looking for a change in his expression.

"You..." She said hesitantly, "You don't seem to be disappointed at all."

Rhodes was surprised: "You come back to me, I'm not happy yet, how can I be disappointed?"

Mephis said softly, "But I don't have that beautiful face anymore, it's part of the curse."

Rhode said with a smile: "Mephis, I'm not the kind of superficial man who only looks at the appearance, as long as it's a woman, I can't help it... Cough, I mean, I am a person who pays attention to the quality of the heart , looks don't matter at all."

Memphis hugged him lightly.

"Thank you."

Rhodes smiled: "You're welcome, we are good partners... By the way, what's the matter with your curse? Why did they delay letting you go for so long?"

Mephis said: "I don't know why, but my curse has lost the effect of encapsulating my characteristics. The Taboo Armed Forces tried many methods but failed. In the end, they were forced to use the suppression engraving to release me."

Rhodes was startled: "Has your curse failed?"

Memphis shook his head slightly.

"My curses are essentially a part of my soul. They originate from my three soul characteristics, ice, mind control, and dark soul. The soul masters in Wangcheng have manipulated these curses so that they can in turn encapsulate my characteristics , but since that day, they all lost the ability to encapsulate and became..."

She pauses, as if choosing words.

"It becomes... controllable, as if it is an extension of the characteristics."

Rhodes was sure in his heart, and said happily, "Isn't that better?"

"Yes, now I can freely control the curse to take effect, expand the scope, strengthen the effect, and turn it off at any time. Like the last time the curse got out of control, it won't happen again."

It was simply the best news he had heard today,

Rhodes laughed so hard that he couldn't open his eyes: "Okay, that's great! As expected of my good partner, you have evolved again! I'm afraid that your curse will be useless, and my super plan won't work... "

"You don't know how long I've been waiting. The ruins of Ishorn to the west of Fanxing Town and the Blackwater Swamp to the north should have been cleaned up a long time ago, but the mentally handicapped captain insisted on arresting you, causing my plan to be delayed for so long. , I had the heart to kill him at the time..."

Memphis was silent for a few seconds, and asked softly: "You only value my role, right?"

Rhodes was immersed in the ecstasy of his wonderful plan's resurrection, and he replied casually: "Of course, I said a long time ago that we are the best partners, our abilities can cooperate perfectly, no one is more suitable than us Together."

For the next period of time, Rhodes kept talking.

But Memphis became indifferent again, hardly speaking.

Rhodes didn't care either, she had always been like this before.

The important thing now is that he is about to enter the next stage. If he can recover all the surrounding areas of Fanxing Town before the stars shine, then his plan will come to a perfect conclusion.

Memphis is an important part of this plan.

Her super ability to attract monsters is unmatched by anyone.

That day, she almost attracted half of the monsters in Fanxing Town, and then let him clear the field with a burst of Void Wrath.

Because of this, Fanxing Town was able to recover so quickly, and it was also able to move toward prosperity so quickly.

Memphis has contributed a lot to the current situation.

The most commendable thing is that, for unknown reasons, Mephis is immune to Void Wrath, and she can stand beside him after attracting monsters, thus eliminating the need to escape and greatly improving the efficiency of the explosion.

This established her as an irreplaceable number one partner, and the horse Annabe could only be ranked second.

Of course, Rhodes is not just a means of Fury of the Void.

Most of the millions of thunderstones in Fanxing Town have been fully charged.

If this super bomb can achieve the desired effect, Rhodes will further dig into this function.

At that time, explosion will become the only art in this world.

The beautiful paradise that Molly told him will officially come.

Hahahahaha.

Rhodes laughed super happily. He kept talking about his super big plan, and asked her about the magical effect of the other eleven curses, to see if she could develop a new monster-killing plan.

He also paid special attention to her soul characteristics.

He knows the characteristic of "Ice", which can freeze monsters and is said to be able to extinguish fires, so Wang Cheng fears it very much.

"Mind control" sounds a little disturbing. In the royal city, this is an absolutely taboo feature.

But Mephis told him that "mind control" can only control souls that have a spiritual connection with her, and souls with strong wills can also be exempted from her control.

"How to establish a spiritual connection?" Rhodes asked.

"Inject my spiritual rune."

Memphis raised his hand, and a transparent symbol appeared on his hand.

It is like countless entangled pipes, chaos and unreasonable are Rhodes' only feelings.

Memphis scattered the spiritual runes in his hand.

Rhodes asked again: "Where is the dark soul?"

Memphis said lightly: "Blacken the soul and obtain the characteristics of powerful power."

"Blackening" is the abbreviation of "darkening".

This is an irreversible degenerative change. Once the soul is darkened, it becomes a monster.

Such people are called "degenerates".

Long-term negative emotions, extreme tension and depression, excessive anxiety, mania, etc., will all cause the darkening of the soul.

Therefore, Wangcheng paid special attention to the mental health of combatants.

Not only has a service department dedicated to serving combatants been established, but all medical and logistics personnel are specially required to be good at relieving psychological pressure. There is also a dedicated psychologist who deliberately guides the establishment of a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

All kinds of measures are only preventing one thing, the darkening of the soul.

And this characteristic will actually actively darken the soul.

It can only be said that it is an absolute taboo feature.

It is really commendable that Mephis can gather the three most taboo characteristics.

No wonder the taboo armed people are so afraid of him.

Rhodes said half-jokingly: "I now have some doubts that you are the real Son of Destruction."

Mephis said calmly: "The soul masters said that if the prophecy is true, the most dangerous and most likely to destroy the property of the royal city is the dark soul. Once the soul is darkened, it may be with the dark soul The Great Terror is connected to cause unknown disasters."

"The second is mind control. If I control some important people, it may cause a devastating blow to the royal city."

"The last is ice, which is the only feature I can use. Although ice can extinguish fire, it is not easy to extinguish a powerful fire, let alone the sacred fire that has burned countless firewood."

Rhodes nodded.

This judgment is correct. If you want to help Mephis get rid of the shackles of fate in the future, you should start from this aspect.

The two chatted while walking, and soon visited Fanxing Town.

This incomparably prosperous town full of life made Mephis feel a little dazed. Not long ago, this place was a barren and dead place, except for monsters and dead things silent in the black mist, there was nothing here.

But what she sees now is a town with both historical precipitation and vigorous vitality, as if new shoots are blooming on ancient dead branches.

The crowd shuttling back and forth, the countless busy figures, and the smiling faces shining like jewels under the firelight made Mephis forget his identity for a moment, as if he had returned to his childhood.

At that time, she was also so carefree, living with good expectations for the future.

But reality beat her hard.

After countless useless struggles, Mephis' heart fell silent, and the burning flames also cooled down.

She knew that she was doomed and there would be no salvation.

The man beside her once lit a flame that gave her a vision of hope.

But when the flowers fall, it is still a cruel reality. He is different from everyone, but he is also the same as everyone.

It's just that other people approached her with ulterior motives.

And he approached her with noble purposes.

I'm still dead.

Memphis thought.

I am just an outsider in this world, and I will never get love, joy and happiness.

Yes.

She sighed softly.

Only death is my destination.

After death there are no more troubles, they don't suffer anymore, everyone is at peace.

But before that, help this person in front of him to fulfill his dream.

After all, he was the only friendly companion who treated her as an equal.

Memphis followed Rhodes,
The bright firelight of Fanxing Town shone on her, the crowded crowd passed by her, and the lively voices surrounded her. She felt unprecedented loneliness and incomparable tranquility.

She suddenly smiled.

Thank you for accompanying me through this final journey.

With a soft click, the silver bracelet was crushed by her.

I will definitely do my best to help you.

Twelve thousand yards west of Fanxing.

After paying a huge price, the three of them finally attracted the dangerous group of Aries demons from the ancient abyss.

This is the most difficult group of monsters to deal with, known as the nightmare of human beings.

Without the characteristic of restraint, even high-level combatants are difficult to deal with.

The three of them paid a considerable price to attract them.

And the worst thing is that Wang Cheng seems to have found something wrong. All kinds of abnormal signs made them realize that someone had crossed the bottom line and tried to deliberately destroy Fanxing Town, which artificially caused the expedition to fail.

This is an act of betrayal.

Wangcheng has already begun to check the personnel. Even with the cover of Manolobana and Talinas, they can't stay here for too long.

So, this is their last chance.

Looking at the group of monsters stretching for dozens of miles, Leviel couldn't help but smile.

"This time, it must be successful, right?"
