the last king of darkness

Chapter 329 The Herald of Destruction

Rhodes' spiritual energy was close to 500 thousand cuts, and the powerful spiritual energy endowed him with great strength. This heavy blow directly penetrated the ground and hit the king ant.

Lannister immediately realized that Rhodes had spotted the target, and shouted: "Scatter! Fight!"

Almost at the same time, the ground swelled, and a giant demonized ant, which was several times larger than ordinary king ants, jumped out.

A powerful wave of spiritual energy broke through the ground, hitting everyone's faces like a heavy punch.

Annabelle, who had the weakest psychic power, fainted on the spot. Rhodes reacted very quickly, grabbing her and jumping backwards, but was still hit by the scythe.

The flesh and blood armor shattered, and the spiritual defense was instantly pierced. Celie exclaimed, "Rods!"

But in the next moment, a gray light flashed on Rhode's body, and the insect scythe containing powerful spiritual energy flew Rhode out as if hitting a round pebble.

Lannister could see that the blade of the scythe slipped from the surface of his skin, cutting through his clothing and armor but leaving his flesh untouched.

"Is this his stupid defense?"

Lannister murmured, marveling at the strangeness of the name.

Although [Soul Defense] blocked the fatal attack, it didn't completely reduce the impact. Rhode flew straight for more than 100 yards, and rolled on the ground with Annabelle in his arms before stopping.

The poor girl had already returned to her original form, her face was pale, her eyes were closed tightly, her breathing was weak, but fortunately her heart was still beating, her soul was not fatally injured, she just passed out.

Rhodes thought to himself: "That wasn't just a normal wave of spiritual energy, but rather a special shock of spiritual energy. If the intensity of spiritual energy falls below a certain threshold, you will be instantly stunned."

Putting down Annabelle, stood up, and saw that everyone in the distance had already fought with the king ant.

Xi Li held a silver big knife at the forefront, slashing wildly, and the silver knife drew bright traces in the air.

Lannister was surrounded by the gust of wind, and small wind blades flew out of his body constantly. He even held a huge transparent wind knife in his hand, and attacked the king ant across the body of Celie.

Mephis opened one hand and pointed the palm at the king ant. The ice continued to activate, and the surrounding area was already stained with wind and frost.

The king ant was covered with thick armor, and it fought against the two palace warriors against the frost. It was extremely fast, and its long scythe was filled with spiritual energy. step back.

Suddenly, the king ant let out a long howl, and powerful psionic energy rushed towards his face like a storm.

Rhode immediately opened his spiritual defense, but still felt like being hit in the face by a heavyweight boxer.

Lannister, who was closer, was directly knocked to the ground, and Mephis broke through the ice and jumped hundreds of yards away.

Only Celie, who had relatively strong psychic energy, withstood the impact, but she was also dizzy and her psychic energy was disordered. She took three breaths in a row to suppress the psychic energy, and the black scythe of the king ant had already pierced through the air.

At the moment of urgency, the silver knife in Celie's hand instantly turned into a shield, her psychic power surged instantly, and her defenses were fully activated.

With a bang, the powerful psychic energy collided, and the gust of wind instantly blew up the sand and rocks on the ground. Within a hundred yards, the color of the dust and sand even covered the black mist.

Celie took advantage of the momentum and flew away, only feeling that her hands were weak, her psychic energy was trembling non-stop, and her soul was weak for a while, and she was a little bit out of strength.

Fortunately, Rhodes shot several Star Shuttles from behind, distracting the King Ant's attention.

Lannister sprang from the ground, pale.

The crisis of the battle just now is vivid in his mind. If there is even the slightest mistake, someone will die here.

This was different from the information before the battle. Although the King Ant's psychic power was strong, it was not so strong. Just two rounds of psychic shocks almost wiped them out.

"Is it the reason for the rage?"

Lannister thought to himself, opened up the strong wind, and shot the wind blade at the king ant who was chasing Rhodes.

Celie slowed down for several seconds before her heartbeat calmed down, and she hurriedly shouted: "Xiaolan! What's going on? Why don't I remember that the king ant has the characteristic of psionic shock?"

Lannister frowned, a faint thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't grasp it.

Rhodes shouted: "Come and help me!"

The King Ant's attack was like a violent storm. Rhodes could barely hold on with the condensed star shield and star sword. His physical combat level was already quite high, but he was far away from these fighters who relied on physical combat as their survival skill. There are still some gaps.

It wasn't that the stars were condensed, the creation was very strong, plus he was wearing flesh and blood armor and holding the [Soul Defense], he couldn't stand it at all.

"I come!"

Celie yelled, plunged into the battlefield like lightning, and stood in front of Rhodes.

Lannister followed closely behind her.

Celie said angrily: "You liar! Don't get so close to me! Your wind blade will hurt me!"

On the one hand, he waved the silver sword like a strong wind, barely stopping the fierce attack of the king ant.

Lannister stepped back a little silently, assisting her from the gap with wind knife and blade.

Rhodes backed away, his fingers shining with starlight, and star shuttles in perfect condition one after another condensed and shot towards the king ant.

The power of the star shuttle with more than [-] revolutions and one hundred star wires is astonishing. The impact of the explosion can stagnate part of the king ant's psionic energy, and the stardust scattered by the hundred star wires almost covers half of the king ant's body.

These stardust will also cause damage to the king ant, erode its spiritual energy, and consume its strength.

But even so, the three of them still couldn't suppress the king ant until Annabe woke up.

Although her psychic power is the weakest, her fighting quality is no worse than them.

The moment she woke up, she immediately activated the awakening.

As the purple smoke exploded, she turned into a centaur again. In addition to her lightning speed, she also had an additional weapon-the psionic throwing gun.

It is guaranteed to hit, and it will definitely cause a paralyzed state, the shortest half a second.

As the first spear pierced the king ant, its body stagnated inevitably.

Although half a second passed in a flash, Celie and Lannister suddenly felt the pressure drop sharply.

Rhodes can even take the time to come up and slash it twice - without stopping the Star Shuttle.

And as Mephis' continuous freezing took effect, they began to gain the upper hand again.

The psionic energy of the king ant quickly weakened, and Rhodes shouted happily: "As long as I break through the critical point and make a hole in the psionic energy, I can kill it!"

But as soon as the words fell, the king ant started screaming again.

A ring-shaped transparent wave unfolded like lightning, and super powerful spiritual energy rushed to the face.

Lannister had expected it a long time ago, and immediately crushed the spell in his hand, and an invisible spiritual energy barrier appeared instantly.

This is a defense spell carefully crafted by the psionic masters, which is equivalent to a one-time barrier created by the tenth-level psionic defense masters.

With a bang, the powerful psychic energy collided together, and the psychic energy barrier was instantly shattered, and the shock from the king ant hit his face directly.

Annabelle was knocked into the air, and the awakened state was released in the air.

The freezing of Memphis was interrupted again,

Lannister's face was pale, and his spirit was hit hard, as if he had been hit on the head by a boulder. He said in horror: "This, how is this possible..."

Celie said loudly: "Its spiritual shock is getting stronger and stronger!"

"No, it's impossible... The psionic power of the king ant hasn't become stronger, so why is the shock getting stronger?"

The king ant rushed towards them, without Annabelle and Mephis, the two were hit hard again, they were beaten back again and again, and they were already a little overwhelmed.

Rhodes realized that something was wrong. If this continues, let alone queen ants, they can't even beat a king ant.

He immediately poked the book of knowledge in his mind.

"Ouch! What are you doing? I haven't finished it yet..."

"Don't fix it, I'm in danger."

Rhodes explained the current situation in the shortest words and asked.

"Do you know what's going on here?"

The book of knowledge flipped through the pages, and wrote in a deep voice: "My knowledge is not yet complete, there are certain deficiencies, and I cannot get the answer subjectively. Do you want to use my characteristic ability?"

"Use it, it's better than my big move here."

"Well, it will cost about 60 yuan of sun stone and ruby."

"it is good."

After a few seconds of silence, the Book of Knowledge wrote: "This is the psionic shock of the Corrupted Fula Ant Queen. It has resonated with its dependents through the psionic field. The longer the time, the deeper the resonance. The psionic shock And the stronger it will be."

"Is the king ant its kin?"

"Correct."

The Book of Knowledge quickly wrote: "The king ants who have a soul connection with Queen Fala are her subordinates. If you don't kill all these subordinates, even if you find Queen Fula, you are no match with your strength. The real ones The Fora ant colony, an enemy that even the gods fear."

Rhodes was very surprised: "So strong?"

"Yes, but this ant colony is still very weak, and the queen is far from perfect. The growth of the Fula ant colony needs to devour a lot of resources. You should eliminate it as soon as possible."

After finishing the Book of Knowledge, I once again immersed myself in the restoration work of the Tower of Light, as if the demonized ant colony that brought great disaster to Trorian was not worthy of attention.

Rhodes didn't hesitate any longer, knowing that when the next psychic shock came, they would most likely be finished.

And among his many hole cards, there is only one [Calus's Same-Temperature Heavy Cannon] left, which is not suitable for use here. Recovery, [Looking for Void Borrowing] is a forbidden technique and has been temporarily sealed.

There is only one left.

【The Herald of Destruction】

Obtain the burning curse of being destroyed, unleashing the inner potential of life, gaining super strength until death.

According to the Book of Knowledge, the effect of this item is very powerful. It can increase the spiritual energy by three to five times. At the same time, it will not be afraid of pain, lose fear, panic, hesitation and other emotions, until the life is exhausted and the spiritual energy is annihilated.

Rhodes has not used it all the time, because if he uses it, he will die and need to consume a resurrection stone.

Needless to say, the preciousness of the Resurrection Stone cannot be wasted unless it is in the final situation.

Therefore, [Pioneer of Destruction] has been left in Rhodes' warehouse to eat ashes.

But now, Rhodes found an optimal solution.

He has one more item.

【Tears of the Goddess】: Purify the corrosion and remove the curse effect.

When this thing is used on oneself, it has the greatest effect, that is, to purify all corruption and remove all curses.

Including Herald of Destruction's "Burning Curse of Destruction"!
Snapped!
Sparks splashed from Rhodes' fist.

A strange and distorted flame rose from Rhodes. It was not as gentle and full of life as the guardian fire, but violent, furious, and full of throbbing violence.

The fire quickly spread to the whole body, enveloping him.

In the soul, the powerful psionic energy surged rapidly like a stream after a heavy rain.

Rhodes felt that his strength was increasing at an indomitable speed.

He raised his hand and pointed his fingertips at the king ant, and the star line flew out at an unprecedented speed, and quickly coiled around his fingertips.

As the stars twinkled, a star shuttle that was much stronger than before was forming.

"Hold on!" Rhode shouted!
Lannister was shaken, the strong wind suddenly strengthened, and countless wind blades flew towards the king ant.

Xi Li also held the silver sword high, slashing and slashing wildly, and fought with the king ant.

Powerful psychic fluctuations gathered in the distance, and Star Shuttle's stored power had exceeded any moment before. The dangerous aura made the king ant very uneasy. It instinctively tried to avoid it, but was tightly entangled by Celie and Lannister. Living.

The two desperately held on to it until the star shuttle was launched.

At that moment, an extremely bright light broke through the sky, and the unprecedentedly huge star shuttle directly hit the king ant on the head.

The huge explosion sent the two of them flying, and the scattered starlight enveloped the entire area like a meteor shower.

Celie asked in surprise, "Killed?"

Lannister's face was serious: "Not yet!"

He clearly felt that although the king ant had been severely injured, its spiritual energy had not dissipated.

But the next moment, the flying figure instantly inserted his right hand into its soul.

Bang.

Accompanied by this muffled sound from the void, the king ant slumped down.

[The soul of the large demonized king ant]

it is good!
Rhodes let out a long breath.

Finally killed!
This thing is too hard to kill.

He turned his head and saw the two dumbstruck, he couldn't help but smile.

"we won!"

The stars all over the sky fell, as if to celebrate his victory.

At this moment, Lannister and Celie truly felt Rhodes' extraordinaryness.

-

-

After killing the demonized king ant, Rhodes resisted all opinions and insisted on continuing on the road.

His reason was simple. Although this victory was very difficult, the record of killing a king ant was too small, and they still needed to kill more.

Of course, the actual reason is that [Herald of Destruction] and [Tears of the Goddess] are too expensive.

The former requires 100 black fire phlogiston of the highest specification, which requires specific ashes, which are very rare.

The latter requires Star Fragments.

Rhodes once thought it was cheap, but later found out that it was just Memphis that was cheap.

In the royal city, starlight shards are not allowed to be traded. It comes from the power of stars scattered into the material world. It only appears in certain days, and it is very rare and difficult to store.

Rhodes didn't have much on hand, so if he used one, he would lose one.

It would be a blood loss not to fully utilize the value of [Pioneer of Destruction] at this time!
Although Rhodes' suggestion was extremely unreasonable, everyone still chose to believe him.

As for the fire on him, Rhodes pushed it to [Black Rice Bucket] as usual.

Anything can be put in the rice bucket, what's so strange about it?
Lannister roughly guessed a bit of the truth, but he didn't say much. He just redistributed the tactics, requiring Annabe and Mephis to stand far enough away during the battle. Sign, immediately turned and ran.

This tactic played a very good role. In the next period of time, they successfully hunted and killed two more giant king ants, and the energy consumed was much smaller than the first one.

Everyone gradually gained confidence and continued to walk towards the center.

Just then, something bad happened.
