the last king of darkness

Chapter 353 The Battle of the Source
【Soul of the Starry Knight】

【Very powerful soul】

[One of the knights of the High Knights of the Kingdom of Stars, has been sunk in the darkness for countless years, his will has long been wiped out, and only the glory of the past is left in his soul. 】

Starry Kingdom?

Rhodes frowned slightly.

He is no stranger to this name. Fanxing Town is the site of Fanxing Kingdom, the ultimate goal of the Holy Fire Project, and Tasnia Star City is the capital of Fanxing Kingdom.

He had seen many relics of the kingdom, and knew that historians believed that the fall of the Starry Kingdom marked the beginning of the Dark Ages.

But why is it here?
Castle Storm and Starstown were separated by at least a thousand thousand yards, far beyond the borders of the Starry Kingdom.

Black dust scattered in front of his eyes, and the corpse knight on the ground had only one piece of armor left.

Rhodes finished his meditation, put away the ashes, and looked into the distance.

In the thick black mist, there is a piece of darkness that is obviously different from the surrounding ones, showing a deeper color, like a solidified block.

He took a step forward, and the Book of Knowledge immediately shouted in his mind.

"Divinity! Divinity!"

"20 points of divinity!"

"Master, continue! Don't stop!"

Rub, this broken book!
Rhodes immediately determined that there was the source of the disaster.

Without hesitation, he activated the beacon.

The signal bomb was lifted into the air, and the light from the explosion spread far away.

But at this moment, Rhodes also saw two Starry Knights who had fallen into monsters.

They are also fully armed, their armor is rusty and covered with black matter, only the long sword is still bright, standing more than 400 yards away.

Oops!

Rhode's heart sank for an instant.

Starry Knight is very powerful, far more difficult to deal with than ordinary powerful monsters.

That one just now, he managed to kill him only by exchanging his life for his life with 【Soul Defense】.

But after so many uses, [Soul Defense] has only four left.

With two knights at once, he would definitely not be able to beat them.

Rhodes stepped back cautiously.

If he can retreat to a safe place, he can use [Spirit Boat] to open the portal to the spirit world and pull the reinforcements from Storm Castle over.

However, as soon as he moved, the sudden burst of spiritual energy exploded like thunder, and the two knights rushed towards him like lightning.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Rhodes turned and ran wildly.

It has to be said that the Bone Boots are really very useful, allowing Rhodes to improve his speed to a higher level. Although the Starry Knight is fast, it is gradually pulled away.

Hahaha.

In terms of escape speed, who can compare to me?
Rhode glanced back at the Starry Knight who was getting further and further away, feeling a little complacent in his heart.

I immediately called for reinforcements, 20 points of divinity, and so many souls, I got it again!

But in the next moment, a light flashed in front of Rhodes' eyes, and the knight behind him disappeared.

Turning his head again, he saw the long sword slashing towards him, the powerful spiritual energy condensed on the sword, and the heart-pounding fluctuations of spiritual energy rushed towards his face.

Grass!
will blink!
With lightning flashing in his mind, Rhodes immediately took out a [Soul Defense] and crushed it.

With two bangs, the long sword full of spiritual energy slashed at his face, but it was actually blocked by his face.

Rhodes took advantage of the situation and jumped back, opening the distance from them.

almost!

These two guys were able to use the ability to flicker in space to jump from behind him to in front of him in one fell swoop.

If there is no [Soul Defense], he will die again this time.

Rhodes turned and fled again.

This time he learned to be smart and kept changing directions to run zigzag lines.

But the Starry Knight once again exceeded his comprehension. After only running for a while, Rhodes felt a strong attraction on his body, pulling him back.

What is this?
Rhodes was startled, his speed slowed down significantly, and Starry Knight quickly approached him.

Oops!

What is it that is pulling me?
Rhodes kept changing directions, but the direction of attraction was always pointing to the Starry Knight.

Undoubtedly, this is some kind of ability of them.

Rhodes knew something was wrong, and frantically fired the Star Shuttle backwards.

With the blessing of the Executor's Gloves, a fast star shuttle only takes a little over a second on average, with ten fingers flicking, the fast and condensed star shuttle hits like a violent storm.

But it didn't have any effect, the fast star shuttle was not powerful, and it didn't even break the spiritual defense of the two knights.

not good!

Rhodes heart shuddered, no longer using the fast star shuttle, and his ten fingers began to condense the powerful complete star shuttle.

Unlike the fast star shuttle, the full star shuttle is fixed for ten seconds, and it is Rhodes' most powerful regular attack.

Starry Knight approached quickly, but Rhodes scattered a lot of flesh puppets and wooden puppets.

Pieces of dead wood and big puppets stood up and fought with Starry Knight.

The battle was completely one-sided. The tough puppet was vulnerable to the Starry Knight and was quickly destroyed, but it also bought precious time for Rhodes.

He chose an excellent angle and shot ten complete star shuttles.

The star shuttle condensed with more than three hundred star lines shot at one of the star knights at a terrifying speed.

It instinctively wanted to dodge, but the star shuttle's speed was too fast, and it hit them all in the blink of an eye. The ultra-high-strength psionic energy bloomed with enormous power at a very high rotation speed.

Three thousand star lines exploded at the same time, and a dazzling white light rose like the sun. Within a hundred yards, there were scattered stars.

Under the strong light, Rhodes flew up and killed the severely injured corpse knight.

【Soul of the Starry Knight】

it is good!
One died!
As the light fell, this corpse knight had turned into fly ash, while the other corpse knight was still hacking and killing puppets.

Rhodes was overjoyed.

These guys don't seem to have any intelligence, they only act purely on instinct.

Have the opportunity.

Rhodes immediately summoned more puppets.

Wooden puppets are not worth much to him now, and he already has a lot in stock.

Flesh puppets are slightly more advanced, and the number is less.

In just a moment, hundreds of puppets joined the battle, quickly stabilizing the situation and holding back the enemy.

And Rhodes also chose the position, and the ten complete star shuttles hit again, and the second knight was also killed.

【Soul of the Starry Knight】

at last!

Rhodes took a deep breath.

Kill these two monsters.

In order to kill them, he suffered heavy losses, one [Soul Defense], more than [-] "wooden puppets", and [-] "flesh puppets".

Coupled with the two [Soul Defense] that were consumed before, basically everything at the bottom of the box is out.

The psionic energy is also consumed a lot. The complete star shuttle consumes a lot of psionic energy. In addition, he holds the executor glove, which can speed up the gathering speed of the psionic energy in his hand, which is equivalent to indirectly increasing the consumption of psionic energy.

With so many Star Shuttles down, even Rhodes couldn't stand it anymore.

But the time has come, as long as the First Elder and others are called over, there will be no more danger.

Rhodes opened his right hand and was about to launch the [Spirit Boat] when suddenly, he saw three Starry Knights charging towards him.

Oops!

Rhodes didn't have time to think about it, so he turned and ran.

But this time the situation was much worse.

The three starry knights flickered continuously. No matter how he changed direction, it was useless. Changing direction too quickly slowed down his speed instead.

It’s over.

Rhode's heart sank.

The only way now is to use the "immortal spirit" and use the 30 seconds of immortality to fight a wave, maybe there is still a hope.

However, there is only one "undead spirit" left.

Once it is used up, with the current situation, it is impossible for him to make another one.

Rhodes is really not reconciled.

However, Jian Guang had already flown in front of him.

No, do you die back?

He has no divinity now, and there is only this resurrection stone, which cannot be easily consumed.

no solution anymore.

Rhodes was about to close his eyes and take out the "Undead Spirit" from the dream when he heard a loud sound of wind and thunder.

A white shadow with lightning rushed towards him at an unimaginable speed. He drew a large sword from behind with his backhand and swung it down.

brush!
Rhodes only felt a huge white light flashing in front of his eyes.

In the next second, the Starry Knight had been cut in two.

Bai Ying turned around, another huge white light flashed, and another Starry Knight was split in half. The white light continued to spread in a semi-circular arc, cutting the knight behind it in half.

The three starry knights were killed in just a few seconds.

Grass!
Rhodes was heartbroken.

Not a single soul!
Blood loss!
Bai Ying turned around and said with a smile: "Hi, it's the first time we meet, my name is Tai Luo."

Sure enough it was him!

The signal has been sent out just now, counting the time, it should come.

Rhodes took a look at him. He was tall and burly, with a square face and well-developed muscles. He was holding a giant sword with a door panel, and there was a white light floating on the giant sword.

"I'm Rhodes."

Bai Ying smiled and said: "Is it really you? I have heard many legends about you, the youngest new star, the youngest Trorian hero, the youngest alternate elder, and countless other honors, There are many people who are using your name to do things, I have met many fake ones, and one unlucky ghost was prostituted for nothing."

Rhodes grinned, he knew very well that this unlucky ghost was Celie.

Hahaha, you're famous, and you, whore Lannister.

"It's really me."

Rhodes said hastily.

"I've heard your name many times too."

Taylor smiled slightly: "Let's leave the small talk for later, what did you find?"

Rhodes quickly said what happened just now, but hid some irrelevant details.

"You mean, the source of darkness is ahead?"

Taylor frowned slightly.

"sure?"

"Sure!" Rhodes replied, "One hundred percent!"

Taylor nodded: "The crow messenger from Storm Castle told me that you have the function of a portal, use it now, we need assistance."

Rhodes nodded slightly, and with a thought, the [Spirit Boat] had been activated, and the operation of the spirit world had begun.

He quickly locked onto the Storm Castle, and a square portal with a frame gradually formed.

About 30 seconds later, the portal opened completely. From Rhodes' direction, it was not very favorable to be able to see the battle situation of Storm Castle.

The first elder, Armando, stood high on the wall, and the violent gusts blew away most of the invading giant terrors, while the few that slipped through the net were dealt with with cannons and soldiers in turn.

But there were too many giant terrors, and there were also small terrors mixed in, which brought enormous pressure to Storm Castle.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as Armando leaves, Storm Castle will fall.

The appearance of the portal startled them.

Armando's voice came back from the other side of the portal immediately.

"Have you found the source?"

"Yes!"

"I can't go, Xingge and Iron Beard will help you."

As soon as the words fell, the strong wind threw the two people over from the other side of the portal.

Click, the portal closes.

If Rhodes wants to use it again, he will have to wait until the end of the next lunar cycle.

Xing Ge jumped up unhappily: "This old man is so rude!"

Ironbeard rubbed his buttocks, and said in a deep voice: "We must be quick, the Storm Castle can't last long, we have already discovered that all giant horrors currently have strange spiritual power attached to them, and the direction of the spiritual power is In the Dark Forest, I'm sure if you kill the source, those giant horrors will fall apart."

"Let's go."

Taylor said calmly:

"I can feel some kind of distortion ahead. Brother Rhodes is right, the source lies ahead."

He took big strides to go deep, and a team of dozens of people followed quickly behind him. This was Tai Luo's battle group.

Rhodes felt slightly regretful, but it's a pity that my battle group members are not here, otherwise the battle would not be so difficult.

"Let's go."

He repeated, keeping up with the pace of the team.

Tie Xu tugged at Xing Ge: "Let's go, Your Highness."

The little girl under the age of 15 was still a little dizzy: "Oh, are you leaving?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Iron Xu put Xing Ge on his shoulders and quickly followed the team.

The next battle is basically a battle with the Starry Knight.

The psychic power of the starry knights is roughly between the strong level and the fierce level. They have superb fighting skills, the ability to flash and jump in short distances, and the strange gravitational ability, which is very difficult to deal with.

However, in front of Taylor, the Starry Knight didn't play much role.

His giant sword is his soul weapon.

Whenever he wields the giant sword, a strong light appears on the sword body, which spreads out in flakes after hitting a monster, which is extremely harmful. Often, a piece of the enemy is hacked to death with one strike.

Rhodes huddled in the middle of the team, constantly shooting the Star Shuttle, occasionally finding an opportunity, he stepped forward and killed him.

Xingge looked a little listless, but still radiated fire, providing them with shelter from fire.

Ironbeard is what Rhodes didn't think of the most. He is a Starfire sequence, and the fire seeds are all capable of enhancing melee combat. It seems inconspicuous, but his actual combat ability is very powerful, second only to Taylor. Live three or four Starry Knights.

But there are far more starry knights than Rhodes imagined.

The closer they get to that area, the more and stronger enemies will appear.

It was able to resist at first, but when the captain-level starry knight appeared, the situation was a little bit bad.

The captain of the starry knight surpassed the regular starry knight in terms of spiritual power, speed, and strength.

No one stands in its way except Tyro.

To make matters worse, Rhodes discovered that more starry knights like this were emerging from the ground.

"Something is waking it up!"

Rhodes frowned.

"These starry knights were originally buried underground!"
