the last king of darkness

Chapter 362 The Battle of the Aliens
Rhodes stayed in the Temple of Fire for three days.

These three days were the most fulfilling three days he had ever lived. Every day he opened his eyes and went to the training ground to practice the skills of using his soul to fight.

It is not actually a swordsmanship, but a way of using psionic energy, a technique of perfect control of power.

It is not only used for slashing, but for steps, body shape, hands and feet, anyone who belongs to the category of using turbulent spiritual energy to gain strength can use this technique.

After stepping into the threshold of "Soul Combat", Rhodes was shocked to find how rough and inefficient he used to use psionic energy before. His melee physical combat level has always been very low, and even the short-distance sprints and long-distance treks he has always been proud of have become a joke.

However, the old sword sage Galen was full of praise for his ability to escape, thinking that he was the strongest at the same level, and after stepping into the threshold of "soul combat", he was also the strongest at the first level.

Rhodes is not satisfied with this evaluation, why do you say "escape"?

"Strategic transfer" not work?

Galen didn't care what kind of name it used, he only agreed with Rhodes' spirit.

"Fleeing is a normal behavior when encountering a monster that cannot be defeated. There is no need to go up to die. If sacrifice does not bring benefits to humans, then preserving strength is the best choice."

Rhodes was very puzzled by his cautious words: "Isn't this a normal choice?"

Galen's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Many people, especially geniuses like you, don't think so. Sacrificing for mankind is a noble honor, and death is nothing but returning to the holy flame...I respect their choice, I just hope that there will be fewer unnecessary sacrifices, and there will be more sparks that should exist."

Rhodes remained silent, and thought of a lot in a flash, but he didn't want to let the heavy memory come back, so he changed the subject.

"Master, how far is my psionic power utilization now? Is it half?"

Now Rhodes can cut to 2700 with a full sword, which is a third more than before, reaching half of the full Star Shuttle.

However, Star Shuttle deals explosive damage with a large range, so we cannot simply compare the values.

Galen smiled and shook his head: "We don't know what its limit is, and no one has seen a fully utilized psychic power."

"In the countless moments of psionic movement, countless moments can be subdivided. Among these countless countless moments, only the legendary omniscient and omnipotent god can make the psionic energy of each moment reach the maximum efficiency."

"Therefore, we call it the 'God's Realm'. It is the dream of all our physical fighters to approach this realm infinitely."

Rhodes scratched his head, "God's Realm" sounded too incredible, and asked: "Then how much is our tallest now?"

"Alan."

Sure enough it was him.

"How much can he cut?"

"Maybe tens of thousands, he hasn't been tested for a long time."

Rhodes' eyes widened: "Tens of thousands? Are you using my power level?"

Galen glanced at him: "Of course, his full blow is not limited to measuring the crystal, the temple and the mountain will be cut open, nothing in the royal city can measure his limit."

Rhodes froze in place, unable to calm down for a long time.

He originally thought that there was only a gap in absolute strength between him and the top experts.

Now it seems that the gap is much bigger than imagined.

But Rhodes didn't feel discouraged, and the huge gap inspired his fighting spirit, and he trained even harder.

Galen nodded slightly. It took him only three days to go from a pure layman without emotion to a master of close-range physical combat.

For three days, some people with slightly lower qualifications couldn't even feel it.

This is definitely a top talent.

Galen further strengthened his confidence.

Among the dazzling new stars, he is also the most dazzling group.

I must dig to his limit.

Galen clenched his fists.

Human beings must raise another star of hope.

-

On the fourth day, the flame symbol on Rhodes' collar finally ignited.

This means that he has transferred to the first-line combat order.

Rhodes was overjoyed, he had been holding back for a long time, and the dream invasion had also entered the countdown, the book of knowledge and the puppet were trying their best to restore the dream, and the soul was consumed very quickly.

Not only the reserves in the obelisk, but also the souls on the soul altar are exhausted.

He must go to fight.

But before setting off, he was going to visit Master Galen.

Unexpectedly, Galen was not at all disappointed to hear that he was about to fight.

"Actual combat is beneficial to your training progress."

He said.

"Actual combat is the only criterion for testing skills. According to your progress, you should have gone to fight long ago. Real combat is like a furnace that burns up the residue and integrates what you have learned into your soul. When you return, you will to a new level."

"Go."

Rhodes was sure that there was no longer any worries, and he immediately went to the outer hall to accept the task.

This time the destination is the most important stronghold in the outermost defensive circle of Trorian——

The fortress of courage guarding the dead.

The Deadland is an area located at the junction of the Dark World and Trorian, shrouded in misfortune all year round.

Unknown creatures--other ghosts, rampant among them.

The White Walker is a very troublesome monster. It has a special cluster attribute. A large number of White Walkers often gather together to gradually form a monster group.

If this group of monsters exceeds a certain size, the King of White Walkers will be born.

Once the king of the aliens appears, it means that the "disaster of the aliens" is coming.

This is one of the disasters that Trorian is least willing to face. An infinite number of White Walkers will flock to Trorian like a tide, bringing unprecedented pressure to the entire defense circle.

Therefore, after a problem occurred in the Fortress of Courage, the hall immediately dispatched Qing Yu to support it.

But after so many days, the crisis of death has not been resolved, the group of ghosts is still growing, and the king of ghosts may be born at any time.

Rhodes therefore became the second batch of supporters.

The emissary of the temple introduced the details of the battle in detail, telling him that the battle group has been assembled and can start at any time.

Rhodes curled his lips. There are only two people in my battle group that can be dispatched now, which sounds like hundreds of people.

Alas, once this battle is over, I must find some more teammates.

There are always two or three people, it is too shabby.

On the flying platform, Rhodes saw Annabelle and Mephis who had been away for several days.

"Ah, my best partners, it's great to see you again."

Rhodes tried to hug the two of them at the same time, but was severely punched by Annabelle, and Memphis also dodged aside.

"Show me some respect." Annabe gritted her teeth, "I have a boyfriend."

Rhodes frowned and said, "What kind of boyfriend, is it important to have your team leader? Quickly turn me into a man."

Due to the tense battle, the flying platform has no flying tools, so they can only run over.

Annabelle frowned. Although she was not very happy, the centaur form was the value of her existence and her pride. Accompanied by a puff of purple smoke, she unfolded her awakened state.

Rhodes got on the horse, and the familiar feeling made him happy. He asked curiously, "Do you really have a boyfriend? Has he ever ridden your horse?"

Annabe snorted: "Talk well, are you jealous? Let me tell you, my amazing beauty is well-known throughout the academy, and there are many boyfriends, one hundred for a day."

As soon as Rhodes heard this, he knew that she was still a bachelor, and he skillfully climbed up to her waist—he was finally used to the waist of a horse instead of the upper part.

"Okay, Mephis, come up quickly, let's go, Annabelle, drive!"

Annabe gritted her teeth and said word by word: "I've said it ten thousand times! Don't pat my ass, don't talk about driving, I'm not a horse!"

With four hooves together, the centaur carried Rhodes and Mephis and jumped off the flying platform.

The strong wind was howling, and the Temple of Fire was isolated on the peak of the Dead Ember Mountain Range, with rugged cliffs and cliffs below, but Annabe was not afraid at all, jumping on the steep mountain wall like a Tibetan antelope, but went down the mountain in a short while , ran towards the direction of Fortress of Courage.

On the way, Rhode briefly asked about their current situation.

It turned out that after the Battle of the Trident River, Annabe went to the Church of the Soul to accept a comprehensive purification ceremony.

This ritual not only cleansed her soul, but also made her psionic characteristic "Magic Liberation" go up half a step.

Now, her centaur form is more powerful, in addition to being faster, there are more spiritual javelins.

But the consumption of psychic energy also increased, making her limited psychic energy somewhat unsupportable.

Annabelle is very worried about her psionic power now, hoping to increase her total psionic power as soon as possible. In her test report, the total amount of psionic power is even less than one rail, and even the measurement unit of "rail" cannot be measured. use it.

Rhodes casually took out a bunch of psychic potions and stuffed them into her arms, and asked her to drink them slowly, not enough to ask for him, which moved Annabelle so much.

And Mephis returned to the Silver Oath. Although her soul curse was completely out of control, the leader of the Silver Oath Taboo Armed Forces still wanted to give it a try, trying to bring her back under control.

No doubt he suffered yet another ignominious defeat.

Due to the archbishop's protection and Rhode's reputation, the leader released Memphis.

Rhodes had nothing to give Mephis, so after thinking about it, he took tens of thousands of silver cords and stuffed them into her arms.

Memphis said indifferently: "Thank you." He didn't particularly open his hand.

She was always very tolerant when giving money, and at this time Mephis was beautiful with silver hair and silver eyes, and Rhodes' hands were always uncontrollable.

It's all the fault of the hand.

Fortress of Courage is [-] yards away from the Royal City, and Annabe ran there in only two hours, and she wasn't tired at all.

Rhodes can also run there on time, but he must be exhausted.

Fortress of Courage is an isolated fortress on the boundless wasteland. The range of the guardian fire is about [-] yards. The black mist outside the firelight is not very thick, so Rhodes can see far away.

But in his sight, there was no battle, no monsters attacking the stronghold.

There are no sentries on the city walls, and there are not even people in sight.

The three entered the fortress smoothly. The interior of the fortress was full of dusty bungalows, which looked messy and ordinary, and there were no people there.

"Where did the person go?" Rhodes asked in surprise.

The sentinel who opened the door replied truthfully: "Going out to fight."

"Is there no one guarding the city?"

"No, White Walkers generally don't attack strongholds."

"Where is Your Highness Qingyu?"

"I don't know, all psionic communication was cut off during the battle with the White Walkers."

"So what should we do now?"

"do not know."

Rhodes was speechless. The sentinel didn't know what to ask, and didn't know anything. He thought for a moment, then patted his ass: "Annabe, let's go, let's look outside the city."

Annabelle was about to raise her hooves when the sentinel suddenly said, "Come from afar, let's have some delicious food."

He took out a bag from behind and handed it to Rhodes.

"Big meal?" Rhode was very surprised, "Is there a big meal in this bag?"

When I opened it, I almost lost my eyesight. A pile of dark brown olli was deliberately placed on a plate to look like food, which was even more disgusting.

Rhodes immediately threw the bag away and shouted angrily, "Are you a doomsday cultist?"

The sentinel was shocked and said, "How do you know?" He turned around and ran away.

Rhodes was stunned, are you really serious?
The next second, the sentinel was pinned down by Annabe's javelin, his whole body was paralyzed, and he fell to the ground unable to move.

"Guards, guards!" Rhodes shouted, "There are doomsday cultists here!"

After shouting a few times, a few wounded came out, took the doomsday cultist down, and took away the indescribable thing by the way.

But still no one informed them of Qingyu's movements, and the wounded also asked three questions. The only information they provided was that the number of ghosts had skyrocketed recently. They were fighting bloody battles every day, but they still couldn't reduce the number of ghosts.

Rhodes sighed: "No way, let's go outside the city."

Annabell raised her horse's hoof and jumped out of the city in a few steps.

There was nothing on the wasteland. After walking west for a quarter of an hour, Rhodes finally saw a group of monsters.

It was the weirdest monster he had ever seen.

They look like people who have been skinned and soaked in water for 100 years. The gray and blue flesh is disgustingly rotten and swollen. The red eyes are very obvious in the black mist, like a torn mouth There are sharp teeth in the middle, and there is a wet and disgusting feeling all over the body.

There are about a hundred monsters in this group, and their souls show a two-way waveform with sharp ripples, which should be around the high level of the fierce level.

Rhodes jumped off the horse, drew out the long sword "Starry Night", and said with a smile: "Come on, the battle has begun."

With a trident on his back, bone boots on his feet, and executor gloves in his hand, he crashed into the group of strange ghosts at the fastest speed.

As soon as the sword light lit up, the power driven by the 1345 thousand cuts of psionic energy swept across.

brush!
The four strange ghosts were cut into two sections immediately.

At the same time, frost gathered between the sky and the earth, and Mephis pointed at the group of monsters with one finger, and activated the characteristic "ice cold".

Annabelle approached cautiously, ready to rush up and drag Rhodes out of the monster group at any moment.

At this moment, the mouths of the strange ghosts suddenly split open, wide open, and the sharp teeth in the mouths were clearly visible.

In the next second, a sharp howling sound came out from the mouth of the alien, Rhode's humanity dropped sharply, and Mephis flew back.

Annabe couldn't dodge it in time, and she fell unconscious on the ground as if she had been hit hard.

special!
Rhodes was instantly angry. He brought up his psychic power and slashed wildly. The long sword "Starry Night" was invincible. His psychic power was close to level ten, far surpassing ordinary monsters of the fierce level. He also mastered the skill of "soul combat", The destructive power is greatly increased.

Killing ghosts is like harvesting wheat, falling down in pieces.

The utilization efficiency of psychic energy has increased, and Rhode's pace speed has been greatly improved. He shuttled back and forth among the ghosts, like the speed of a bird, the slipperiness of a fish, the sword light flickering, and the broken line of destruction .

In the blink of an eye, more than 100 White Walkers were killed.

But the consumption of spiritual energy is negligible.

The black dust scattered all over the sky, and the wasteland was covered with ashes. Rhodes held a sword in one hand and returned with the ashes.

However, at the next moment, the dissipated black dust rolled back, ashes rose into the sky, and the killed ghosts were revived in an instant!
