the last king of darkness

Chapter 347 Our Glory

A tsunami-like psionic energy flashed by, and it became calm in an instant.

In the distance, Wang stood up, and the power of the soul submerged into his body. He looked at Rhodes from a distance, and their eyes met in the air.

For at least two seconds, neither of them spoke or looked away.

Until Horus suddenly exclaimed: "King! Are you back?"

Wang looked away, smiled gently and said, "Yes, I'm back, Horus."

Horus's withered wooden face looked like it was about to crack.

"Where's the Nightmare Lord?"

"died."

"died?"

"Ah."

Horus' eyes almost popped out.

"You won? You killed it?"

"Correct."

Wang's expression didn't fluctuate at all, calmly as if he was stating a simple fact.

Rhodes looked at them with innocent eyes, pretending to believe Wang's words, saying that he had nothing to do with this matter.

"cocoa……"

Horus always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell, so he could only ask again.

"The Nightmare Lord was really killed by you?"

The king stepped down from the throne, looked at the archbishop of the Holy Church with golden eyes, and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Horus, don't you believe me?"

"No... no, of course not, but, but..."

Horus stuttered for a long time before finally regaining his train of thought.

"The Lord of Nightmare is one of the most powerful masters of the past. Although it has no strong source and cannot reach the king level, but in the ranks of strong levels, there are very few monsters that can compare with him. Listed as one of the disaster monsters, strong monsters rarely reach the level of disaster, and it is one of the few exceptions."

The king raised his hand, and a bright flame flew out of the holy flame, landed on him, and turned into his crown and robe.

He came towards them and asked casually, "Horus, do you think I am weaker than it?"

Horus immediately shook his head: "No, of course it is impossible, you are our king, your eternal burning flame has reached an unprecedented height, no king has ever had such a high position as you, since the Second Great War After the extinction, there has never been a moment when the sacred flame has reached its current intensity."

"You are unrivaled."

Wang smiled and said, "Then what are you still worried about? Horus."

Horus bowed and said, "My lord, if the Lord of Nightmares fights you in the royal city, I'm not worried, but you entered the spirit world in the form of a spirit, leaving most of your power in your body."

"And after crossing the space barrier, the battle becomes very unfavorable. Excessive distance will greatly weaken your strength, the connection between the powerful holy fire and you will become extremely weak, your spirit will become unstable, and The Lord of Nightmare is a pure spirit creature, and can exert even stronger power in the spirit world environment."

"It's very difficult for you to beat it in these conditions, especially in such a short period of time."

Wang looked a little troubled: "Don't you believe me? Horus."

Horus said indifferently: "King, please tell me the truth, don't hide the bad news every time, I am the Archbishop of the Holy Church, and I am qualified to assist you in dealing with all crises."

Wang sighed: "Okay, let me tell you, the Nightmare Lord is really difficult to deal with only in the spirit state. I have to use my profound wisdom and skillful skills to make up for my disadvantage..."

For the next quarter of an hour, Wang was bragging about himself.

Rhodes never imagined that the thick-browed and big-eyed Wang was also a braggart who didn't write drafts.

However, this is exactly what Rhodes wanted.

Although it is not possible to suspect him, but there are too many such things, and it will be somewhat affected.

Hey, what a hassle.

Rhodes sighed in his heart. In fact, he really wanted to reveal the existence of part of the dream, and it was very troublesome to hide it all the time. Choosing to say a part would not only save a lot of brain cells from dying, but also get more royal city resources. .

But once the Book of Knowledge finds a similar situation, it will warn him severely, nagging frantically in his mind.

Rhodes is also very afraid of touching the taboo of the dream, which will cause unpredictable consequences, so he can only keep it hidden.

But why did the king admit that he was the one who killed it?

Rhodes didn't know what kind of scene the king saw in the spirit world, but the movement caused by the blow in the spirit world was very loud, and even Rhodes, who was far away in the high-level spirit world, could clearly see the strong light that erupted when the light particles hit the Nightmare Lord Seeing it, it is impossible for the king not to see it.

There are many possible reasons.

Rhodes thought for a while, and gave up without a clue. The most important thing for him now is to get the king's blessing, and then go to the battlefield to kill monsters and prepare for the upcoming invasion.

"...I made a fake move past the Nightmare Lord, hit its weak point with a backhand, and punched a big hole in its body. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Nightmare Lord turned around and ran for his life. The cannon attacks its wounds, expanding its injuries, and simulates the power of scarlet lightning, deepening its damage."

"After four consecutive rounds of attacks, the Nightmare Lord was finally eliminated by me."

Wang held out his hand.

"Here, here are its ashes. My spirit brought it back."

Horus carefully held the ashes, which glowed dimly like a cloudy gem.

"This is the ashes of the old master... Ah, I can feel its surging power. This is an excellent potion material! It can be made into the best spiritual potion, and ten more of our students will gain a large amount of spiritual power." Can grow!"

It's a pity that it's useless to me, Rhodes thought regretfully.

Carefully putting the ashes into the red stone casket, Horus no longer had the slightest doubt about the king's words, and his dead wood face was filled with ecstasy.

"This is nothing short of a miracle! We lost another huge threat, the pressure on Trorian has been reduced a lot, and the Temple of Fire can free up more hands to deal with threats from all over the place."

He clenched his hands into fists, pressed them to his heart, and prayed devoutly.

"May the fire protect us."

Wang smiled and said: "The fire is indeed protecting us. Since the crisis in the Trident River area was perfectly resolved, our situation has been improving, and hidden dangers are being eliminated. Relief as we unleash our power."

A dry smile appeared on Horus' dry face.

"That's right, Wang. What makes me most gratified is that Alan can finally rest after the fierce battle."

"His adjutant Kelso told me that the soul purification ceremony was very successful. The soul master spent two days cleaning up a lot of dangerous soul blackening for him. Alan's combat power has been greatly restored. Not only did the two days not delay Combat, on the contrary, has greatly improved efficiency."

He turned his face and showed Rhodes a kind smile that was enough to scare a crying child.

"This is your credit, you have done us a great favor."

Why don't you give me a little more reward... Rhodes complained in his heart, squeezed out a smile and said, "This is what I should do, give me your blessing, I'm going to fight."

But upon hearing this, Horus shook his head and said firmly, "No."

Rhodes was surprised: "Why?"

Horus said in a deep voice: "Now that we have come to this point, let me tell you, after you killed the Vla spirit devourer, I asked the White Tower to make a strict prophecy for you, and the prophecy showed that You are in very great danger in the near future."

"In order to ensure your safety, we decided not to let you leave the confines of the royal city for the time being."

isn't it?
Rhodes couldn't believe his ears.

Are you retarded?The most dangerous thing is not letting me leave Wangcheng.

There is no soul restoration in the dream, and I have used up my divinity. If I can't get promoted, this invasion will be very dangerous.

"But, but, the prophecy may not be accurate..."

Horus said solemnly: "This is a prophecy personally made by Meredith, the Lord of the White Tower, who spent a lot of spiritual and rare materials. This is already the third prophecy for you personally. There are errors. The probability is extremely small.”

"But now the situation in various places is urgent, and the palace is very short of people..."

Horus said in a deep voice: "Rhode, you have to make it clear that you are now a genius with a hallmark and a strong mark, one of the brightest new stars in recent years, your safety is very important... There are soldiers who died for you. For what it's worth, they protected a future star who will save many more."

Fart Nima!
Rhodes almost swears, you are hurting me by not letting me out.

However, Horus' words are hard to refute, and Rhodes racked his brains and couldn't find a new excuse. At this moment, his body suddenly became hot, and a radiant heat rushed to his face, blended into his body, and scattered into his limbs. skeleton.

Rhodes raised his head in surprise and saw the hand that Wang had just put down.

"king……"

"His Majesty!"

Horus yelled loudly, and those who knew him well knew that he would only use honorifics when he was extremely angry.

"what are you doing?"

Wang smiled gently: "Don't get excited, Horus, anger will reduce your wisdom..."

Horus interrupted him furiously: "Why did you bless him? Do you want to kill our new star?"

Wang smiled and said: "Horus, I think you misunderstood. The prophecy is not wrong, but it is often our interpretation that is wrong. Where do you think Rhodes' danger comes from?"

Horus said angrily: "Of course it is an extremely dangerous, terrifying, and weird monster!"

Wang shook his head slightly.

"Not necessarily. Monsters are certainly dangerous, but the monsters appearing on the battlefield are all understandable. The incomprehensible monsters have not come. Little Rhodes has matured a lot after experiencing the Battle of the Trident River. He is a qualified Senior combatant."

"For him, the real danger comes from within."

This sentence was like a basin of cold water pouring down on the head, and Horus was startled: "You mean, doomsday believers?"

"Correct."

"But... the doomsday cultists have been hit hard. The survivor sect disappeared without a trace, the descendant sect fell apart, and the polluter sect hid deep in the sewer, so they didn't dare to show their heads..."

Wang shook his head lightly: "Horus, the great leader Asa and his Book of Fate are far more troublesome than you imagined. They may just want to use this to keep Rhodes in the king's city so that they can carry out their conspiracy and assassination."

"But, but." Horus still couldn't believe it: "The battlefield is also very dangerous..."

Wang Chensheng said: "The flowers that bloom in the greenhouse can never face the wind and rain. If Rhodes wants to become a towering tree, he must go through cruel battles."

"Even if you die in the middle."

The holy fire sacrificial field became quiet, only the sound of the holy fire burning remained.

After a long time, Horus let out a long sigh: "Okay, as you said."

at last!

Rhodes' hanging heart was finally relieved.

Damn, it's not easy to go out for a trip.

Wang patted Rhodes' shoulder lightly, and said gently: "Go, our new star, the Holy Fire Project has been greatly advanced because of your existence. I have been waiting for many years, and now it is finally going to the critical point stage, and your growth has exceeded imagination, maybe you will be able to participate in it at that time."

Wang smiled slightly, and flames flickered in his golden eyes.

"I'm looking forward to that moment."

-

After Rhodes left, Horus also left quickly—as one of the most powerful archbishops in the history of the Holy Church, his personal strength surpassed that of a first-level combatant and reached the level of a quasi-special combatant.

Therefore, the burden on his shoulders is much heavier than that of ordinary people.

Since Trorian turned into a state of full-scale combat and launched a campaign westward, he has little free time, and often has to deal with tedious educational affairs while fighting fiercely.

The Holy Church is an important organization for maintaining the stability of the Trorian Kingdom. It is responsible for appeasing the people, treating diseases, rescuing the wounded, and all prayer and sacrifice activities.

Whenever a war begins, fierce fighting brings unrest.

This is also the busiest time for the Holy Church.

The work of Horus is very cumbersome, but at the same time he also needs to support various places-the change of the situation that a quasi-special combatant can bring is very huge, and it is impossible for the palace to sit idly by.

This is also impossible.

As the Western Expedition drew a large amount of combat power, the pressure on defense in various places rose sharply.

And the huge psychic disturbance brought about by the large-scale war also made the world shrouded in black mist uneasy, and abnormal states occurred frequently.

As the last line of defense of the human kingdom, the Palace of Fire was squeezed to the limit.

Every Hall of Fame warrior is constantly dispatched to deal with abnormal conditions with only minimal rest periods.

The stronger the fighter, the more frequent the battle.

Trorian was like a taut bowstring. The strong pressure made it break at any time, but it still couldn't stop.

This is also the reason why the king's plan was met with fierce opposition.

No one wants to take that risk.

Wang is also unwilling.

But there was no way to do it, the strength of the holy flame far exceeded its limit.

No one knew this. Wang Chengtong’s previous theory believed that the power of the holy fire was unlimited. As long as enough phlogiston and firewood were added, the holy fire would become infinitely stronger.

It was not until long after the king ascended the throne that the abnormality of the torch was discovered.

But at this time, there is no way to recover. Reducing the intensity means giving up the entire outer city, which means the death of tens of millions of people.

The already poor living space of human beings will be further reduced, and the number of new fire-holders will be greatly reduced every year.

Trorian will be set back 50 years, maybe even 100 years.

Wang's dream will become out of reach.

—That was also a prophecy.

Before the king took office, the Lord of the White Tower was not Meredith, but his teacher, Alai Peter.

Before the fire ceremony, Alai Peter used his soul to complete a miraculous prophecy of the source.

The result of the prophecy is: "The next king of Trorian will lead the surviving humans in the dark era to restore their former glory."

Yes.

Wang fondly remembered every word of the prophecy.

He will never forget the moment when his most respected elder traded his soul for him, and Alai Peter was reduced to ashes in front of him.

That short prophecy was seared into his soul like steel and became his spirit and belief for the next 20 years.

He did it.

In his hands, Trorian is far stronger than before. The population has doubled, resources have skyrocketed, space has increased, internal unity, and everything is thriving.

Until the flame changes.

That was Trorian's biggest turning point.

Since then, the rapid development of Trorian has suddenly stagnated, internal cracks have appeared, conflicts have increased, and doomsday cultists have also begun to rampant.

Faced with such a predicament, the king had to stay in the holy fire sacrificial field for a long time, spending most of his time guarding the holy fire.

Even weaving the illusion that the king is addicted to beauty to cover up the truth, so that the disputes between the king's candidates have become acute.

But all of this is for the Holy Fire Project.

He is going to do something unimaginable by the predecessors. He is going to capture another city of the King of Fire that has sunk in the black mist—the Starry Sky City in Tasnia, kill another king, and seize the 1500-year-old city. The seed of the holy fire of the formerly destroyed Starry Kingdom.

This is an extremely risky plan.

He would have had safer options.

But if you do that, you will lose the possibility of regaining the glory of mankind. Human beings can only give up their dignity, cut off the redundant compatriots with a knife, curl up again, and live in humiliation under the darkness brought by the black mist.

Such a shadow cannot be eliminated in 100 or 200 years.

Wang could not accept it.

He had heard of the glory of human beings. They once ruled the heaven and earth, the earth, and the sea, and walked proudly everywhere in this world. Even the gods had to bow their proud heads to them.

He also firmly believes that he will be able to recast the glory of mankind.

Even just a little.

Therefore, Wang chose to take risks.

That was an almost desperate choice.

During the preparation process, Wang encountered unimaginable resistance, and there was no hope of success.

He wanted to give up countless times, and he persisted countless times.

He also didn't expect that in the not-too-distant future, the torch plan, which was almost impossible to realize, would actually see a little light.

And all of this was brought about by one person.

Rhodes.

If it is said that the Battle of Fanxing Town and the Trident River just happened at the right time, then the nightmare battle just now was absolutely not by chance.

The light particles from the upper echelon of the spirit world cut through the distant space, and with four consecutive hits, they killed the powerful Nightmare Lord.

Wang could see very clearly that this was definitely not a natural phenomenon in the spirit world, but a targeted strike.

Although the Nightmare Lord was killed by him and the Light Particle Strike, its power cannot be doubted.

Wang was just suspicious at first, but the moment he opened his eyes and saw Rhodes, he knew that this matter had something to do with him.

Incomprehensible strange things always appear along with his appearance,
This can't be accidental, that guy must have some undisclosed factors.

This may be an opportunity for them to win.

Looking back at the beginning, he joined only because of Theodore's last soul message.

Among the countless messy soul fragments, only three words are clearly visible.

"believe him!"

Wang suddenly clenched his hands, and an incomparably vast spiritual energy rose majesticly.

The holy fire sensed the king's will, and countless golden flames soared up, surrounding the king's body.

come on!

Wang proudly looked into the void.

There are more monsters that covet the flame.

These monsters known as "disasters" have always been the greatest threat to Trorian.

What the Palace of Fire has been guarding against all the year round is their existence.

Not only in the spirit world, but also in the depths of the black mist, in dark and taboo places, and in terrifyingly sealed places, there are their figures.

The king is not willing to fight them, because it will consume his strength.

But now, he is not afraid.

He has never believed so for a moment, that he will lead mankind to walk proudly on this earth.

Empire.

Deep in the sewers.

A hidden cave.

The damp air was filled with the smell of blood, and the thick blood floated in the bone residue and minced meat, mixed with the filth on the ground, turning into a disgusting black-red color.

On the stone throne, the black shadow is holding a huge book, there are many damages on the book, and a mixture of black and red is wriggling in it.

A hoarse voice sounded in the empty space.

"Ah, how difficult it is to fix you...but I have a way after all."

The black shadow carefully caressed these damaged areas, as if he was holding his newborn son in his hands.

"Hehehehe, you cannot escape the fate of perishing. I will use you more carefully, and I won't let you suffer any losses..."

Bang!
The book exploded again.

A mixture of black and red splashed all over his face.

Sombra's eyes widened, as if seeing his newborn son explode.

"why is that?"

"I am so careful to avoid direct cause and effect, what is resisting me?"

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
The book that had just been restored had blown up in half again.

The black and red mixture splashed all over the body, and the whole body of the black shadow was trembling, as if something terrifying was about to break out of the body, and the powerful spiritual energy twisted in the air, like some kind of strange characters.

Suddenly, the characters vibrated, as if disturbed by some kind, but no one noticed.

It was not until a long time later that the black shadow calmed down.

"Hehehehe."

The creepy laughter sounded again in the underground space.

"I know what you are, and it's easy to deal with you. No existence can resist the established fate of death. The old human beings will eventually perish. The arrival of the eternal dark era is unstoppable, hahahaha!"

Black Shadow laughed wildly.

"You are dead!"

"The King of Devouring Poop!"

-

-

On the lone peak of the Dead Ember Mountains.

Temple of Fire.

After receiving Wang's order, Dalin was very surprised.

This is not the same plan as they originally agreed upon.

Why did Wang suddenly change his mind?

Dalin was puzzled, but did not hesitate, and ordered the envoy to adjust Rhodes' battle order to the front line.

"What is his combat mission?" asked the emissary.

Dalin looked at the huge foggy disk in front of him, countless dots of flames were surrounded by thick black fog.

He was silent for a while and said.

"Go to support Storm Castle. Your Excellency Armando is too old to do what he wants. Xingge is young and the situation is not optimistic."

The first commander Herman on the side asked: "Is this appropriate? The enemies facing Stormcastle are very dangerous. Rhodes has just advanced to a high-level combatant. Although he has a strong ability to continue fighting, his battle group cannot follow him. Fighting together, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

Dalin said, "No problem, let's go."

But just as the envoy was about to turn around, he was stopped by the chief of defense again.

"Wait, let's call Taylor again."
