the last king of darkness

Chapter 345 The Lord of Nightmares
Empire.

Holy Fire Sacrificial Site.

Archbishop Horus looked worriedly at the king who was sitting quietly in front of the holy fire, and murmured: "Isn't it over yet? The battle in the spiritual world..."

-

What Rhodes never expected was that the Soul Church in Wangcheng refused to conduct a "full set of in-depth inspections of soul and body" on him because of the blockage of the sewer.

According to the soul master in the church, the project will produce a large amount of sewage with strong pollution, which is not allowed during the sewer blockage.

This also works?

I have become a high-level combatant, why can't I escape the fate of cleaning the sewers?
Rhodes was extremely depressed, but there was no other way.

Anyway, there is a bit of soul in cleaning the sewer, so it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

snort!
Sewers, your king is back!
Rhodes randomly found a sewer well and jumped into it vertically.

Compared with him now, he is not the same as before.

At that time, he was only at the second level of psionic power, and he only ignited a few stars. The output was all based on the spiritual gun, and the killing of enemies was all done with his right hand. rely on.

Now, he has reached the ninth level of psychic power, officially entered the ranks of high-level combatants, all seven stars are in full state, half of the stars are "quantified", the most core stars have been quantified, and there are countless items in various means.

And the map of the entire sewer is still firmly imprinted in his mind, and even became clearer because of revisiting the old place, and the eye of the soul has become more powerful because of the ninth-level psionic ability.

Along the way, Rhodes could not wait to walk in the sewer.

The sturdy oath armor completely ignores the attacks of any monsters in the sewer, and even the spiritual defense does not need to be opened.

The Bone Boots allowed him to walk like flying, and the Executor's Gloves greatly accelerated the speed of his Star Shuttle condensing.

And the trident of the deep sea lurker made his star shuttle more powerful. The star shuttle that can be shot in one second is as powerful as the thunder stone that can be thrown in tens of seconds.

Rhodes flicked his fingers repeatedly, and the rapidly condensed Star Shuttle hit the sewer like a storm.

The monsters in the sewer encountered the greatest disaster in history. Rhodes swept across the entire sewer like a humanoid self-propelled cannon, blasting all the monsters hidden in the filth to their knees.

Plague rats and rotten shrimps, who were once revered as the "King of Sewers" by the guards, abdicated in an instant and were killed on the spot in the wild bombardment. His Majesty Rhodes has arrived at his faithful sewer today.

Damn, what a bad luck.

Rhodes thought indignantly.

Blow up you bunch of maggots.

The cleaning work went smoothly, but what made him unhappy was that the current Devourer of Darkness could no longer plunder the souls of low-level monsters, and Rhodes could only receive a certain amount of soulless souls.

It only took half a day for Rhodes to clean up the sewers of the entire royal city, and most of the time was spent on the road.

How to complete the complex and complicated route of the sewer with the highest efficiency is Rhodes' unique skill.

In the entire human kingdom of Trorian, there is no one like him.

Even if the king comes in person.

A total of more than 50 souls were harvested during this trip. For Rhodes today, this amount can barely be squeezed between his teeth.

There is also a large bag of monster ashes.

Rhode didn't bother to count, and threw it directly to Wangcheng Defense Department.

And the latter didn't even care that it was the ashes of the sewer monster, so he took them all to make soup.

——The ashes soup is very effective for the growth of middle-level fighters, and the active power contained in it can accelerate the growth of their life and soul.

This is also what Rhodes is very fortunate for. He directly crossed this stage and avoided the tragedy of eating ashes with rice every day.

Rhodes' supernatural efficiency shocked the entire Royal City Army War Department.

All the defense chiefs, commanders, and watch captains were alarmed. They gathered one after another, watched Rhodes' battle report, and marveled at the miracle he had created.

Although most people have long heard of Rhodes' amazing sewer deeds, after Rhodes left Wangcheng and went to Fanxing Town, such legends gradually faded away.

In the end, except for those who experienced it, few people believed it.

But this time Rhodes returned as the king and came back to the sewer, instantly making his legendary golden body permanent and never fade.

Facing such a miracle, Wangcheng Soul Church really couldn't find any more excuses and could only invite Rhodes in.

Rhodes stepped into this famous soul church for the first time.

It is located in the upper city of Wangcheng. It is an extremely magnificent and huge church. Its appearance is dark and soul-like, with a Gothic architectural style. It is tall, thin, pointed, multi-window, and multi-stained glass.

But the interior of the building is majestic and spacious, and huge pools made of soul crystals can be seen everywhere, where countless warriors cleanse the pollution in the soul and purify the erosion of the black mist.

Soul masters stood on the towering altar beside them. They presided over the purification ceremony, and the huge soul power reverberated in the church.

It was a soul master named Priscilla who presided over a full set of inspections for Rhodes.

She once taught Rhodes a class. Her appearance does not reveal her age, but she is very beautiful, with a quiet and distant feeling.

"Relax."

She said softly, her slender and cold fingers slid across Rhodes' chest, like a stream of ice water flowing down.

"Don't fight mentally, imagine that I am your closest person, we are doing the most intimate thing, we merge into one body, enter each other's bodies..."

Rhodes tried hard not to think about it.

But her words were so confusing that Rhodes thought of something indescribable.

Priscilla frowned slightly, her face was delicate, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, and when she frowned, she had an unusual sense of fragility, which made people feel distressed.

"You're still resisting me."

"Uh... I don't need to do this in the previous examination, they just use a few crystals to take pictures of me and it's over."

"That won't work."

Priscilla said firmly: "What you are doing is not a simple inspection, but a complete set. I need to see every fold and every corner of your soul, to make sure that you are not eroded by the black mist and that there is no pollution in your soul. Corruption, curse, traces of darkness."

Rhodes became a little nervous.

She wouldn't have checked the dreams in my soul, would she?
While there had been no such indications so far, none of that seemed to be an in-depth examination from what she said.

"Master...my soul is pure..."

"No."

Priscilla firmly rejected Rhodes' justification.

"A lot of pollution is very hidden, especially monsters that exceed a certain strength. Killing them brings a very strong blackening reaction, so we have always disapproved of low-level combatants killing monsters at higher levels, which may cause a lot of trouble."

She paused and said seriously.

"Fla's spirit devouring queen is not something you can kill. You must undergo a complete inspection."

"But, I don't know how to relax..." Rhode looked at her innocently.

A gleam flashed in Priscilla's eyes, and she calmly took out a picture crystal from her pocket: "Then you should look at this."

"what is this?"

Rhodes held the image crystal and input spiritual energy.

"Fuck!"

-

Priscilla's onion-like fingers pressed Rhode's chest, and her spirit smoothly entered his soul.

Crash.

Crash.

The sound of water flowed repeatedly in his ears, and when Rhodes came back to his senses, the inspection was over.

"Your soul is very pure."

Priscilla said lightly.

"Without any erosion, pollution, curse, corruption, or darkness, you have a miraculous purification ability, which is said to be the function of your kindling black pot."

Rhodes froze for a long while before he noticed that Priscilla's crystal eyes were looking at him.

"Uh, uh, yes, it's the ability of a black idiot. I'm a idiot. It's normal to eat some dirty black things."

Rhode's gaze met her pupils, and he moved away like an electric shock.

But Priscilla looked calm, and said indifferently: "Its purification is beyond imagination, there is no fire seed or soul characteristic that can compare with it, I will report this to the big library, and they will change your records, Next time there is a similar situation, you don’t need to check.”

"Uh, okay."

Priscilla turned and left, she was petite, her long robe was dragging on the ground, she had the feeling of a little adult.

Rhodes froze for a while before realizing that the photo crystal in his hand had been taken away at some point.

Two burly attendants dragged him out of the Church of Souls without surprise.

With a bang, the door closed behind him.

Until this time, Rhodes realized that he had passed the test.

Looking back, there is the side hall of the Soul Church behind you. There is an endless flow of people at the entrance of the main hall in the distance. There is a long queue in front of the main entrance.

That is a soldier who has been seriously polluted and needs to be purified immediately.

The tense atmosphere infected Rhodes, making him clearly aware of what kind of battle humans are fighting.

It has come from ancient times and has never been interrupted for a moment. Human beings have no chance of winning, but they never give up.

Vaguely, he heard the cheers in the church, this is the soldier who rescued successfully.

But amidst the cheers, there was faint crying.

It goes on and on, like a hypnotic tune.

Rhode felt slightly sad.

I don't know when we can truly live a peaceful and happy life.

It would be great if the flame project can be successful.

he thinks.

Good luck.

Temple of Fire.

After getting the news from Rhodes, Dalin couldn't help sighing: "As expected of you, Rhodes, there is no one more special than you in our new generation."

The envoy asked, "Your Excellency Dalin, what should we do?"

Dalin said with a smile: "Keep your promise and put him back into the frontline battle sequence."

"However, according to the White Tower's prophecy, he is now in great danger and is not suitable to leave our sight, and we don't have any more high-level combatants to ensure his safety..."

Dalin pointed to the map: "Here, the level of danger here is relatively high, and there are many types of threats."

The envoy was puzzled for a few seconds, and suddenly realized: "He is a third-level combatant. According to the usual practice, entering this area must be blessed by the king."

Dalin smiled and said: "Yes, let's do it like this, you go."

The envoy bowed and left submissively.

-

-

Rhodes was very happy.

His Excellency Dalin was indeed a person who kept his promise. Not long after he completed the inspection, two envoys came to him, explained the situation to him, and asked him to go to the holy fire sacrificial ground to seek the king's blessing.

"The King's Blessing" is the blessing given by the king with the power of the holy fire, which can comprehensively enhance the strength of the person bestowed, and has a certain nature of the holy fire, which can suppress monsters to a certain extent.

When dealing with threats of the first type or above, combatants usually have to go to the holy fire sacrificial field to obtain the king's blessing, especially those with a relatively low combat level.

And the area that Rhodes is going to support happens to have many first-type threats.

In fact, such blessings are not uncommon. In addition to the king's blessing, the warriors in the temple also received the "Blessing of Trorian".

This is the blessing left by the original human heroes of the Dark Ages. The flame symbols on the collars of the warriors in the temple, as well as their subsidiary abilities, are all blessings from him.

Rhodes happily accepted the blessing.

The book of knowledge was already overwhelming in his mind, and the little soul obtained from cleaning the sewers was used up in the blink of an eye.

Without a soul to repair the dream protection, it is very anxious, and keeps talking about how terrible the invasion of high-level nightmares is. If the protection of the dream is not strong, the nightmare can directly erode the dream and destroy everything.

Rhodes sacrificed all the souls on the altar, but there was not enough to fill the hole. He was reluctant to sacrifice the only remaining queen soul.

The Book of Knowledge was very dissatisfied. Rhodes could no longer bear its nagging, and was also very worried about the upcoming invasion, eager to rejoin the new battle.

However, when he came to the holy fire sacrificial site in the center of the upper city, the fire priest guarding the sacrificial site did not allow him to enter.

It was useless for Rhodes to talk. Fortunately, he still has the identity of the captain of the King's Hand, and he issued a pass for himself, so he barely got in.

But as soon as he entered, he bumped into Archbishop Horus.

He said directly, "Rods, the king can't give you blessings for the time being."

Rhode's face suddenly collapsed: "Why?"

Horus said in a deep voice: "The king's spirit is fighting in the spirit world."

It was the first time Rhodes heard such a thing, and he was surprised: "The spirit world? The king is fighting in the spirit world?"

"It's the king's spirit."

Horus corrected.

"Human beings cannot exist in the spirit world for too long. The only way to enter the spirit world for a long time is to use the spirit to enter."

Spirit is the aggregate of spirit, the essence of thinking and will.

But the spirit that has left the body and the protection of the soul body is very fragile.

The king can take the initiative to get out of the spirit and enter the spirit world to fight?

Rhodes looked over and saw the king sitting on the throne in front of the huge holy flame.

Since spiritual vision cannot be used in the sacred fire sacrificial field, he could not judge the state of the king, but he could find that there was a layer of soul power covering him on his body.

Wang lowered his head, as if in deep sleep.

"Why does the king use this method to fight in the spirit world?"

A spirit alone has very weak combat power. If Rhodes flew out of the spirit alone, he might not even be able to defeat a sewer monster.

Wang's behavior can be said to be extremely risky.

"It's impossible."

"The enemy is Latopep, the nightmare master of the spirit world. It is very powerful and highly polluting. It must be kept in the spirit world, otherwise the holy fire will be seriously disturbed."

Horus' voice was heavy.

"The king's battle situation is unfavorable, and the battle may not end until the son of fire ends the battle and comes back to help."

"During this time, the king cannot bless anyone."

Rhode's heart sank, and before he could speak, the Book of Knowledge suddenly yelled in his mind.

"Divinity! Divinity!"
