the last king of darkness

Chapter 399 Human Crisis
The moment the battle started, it was like an overturned sea, and overwhelming waves of psionic energy rushed towards us, washing away everyone's perception.

The fire seemed to be blown by an invisible wind, changing into various shapes.

Rhodes' station is about 20 yards away from the storm pass, but even so far away, he can still see the psychic light rising into the sky, and the light mist stretching under the light——

That is the most powerful battle group in Trorian, the legion named "Core".

And in front of them is the storm pass towering in the black mist.

It was a gigantic castle guarding the largest canyon in the Dead Ember Mountains, in charge of the passage from the Gray Earth Continent to the Dead Earth Continent.

Seventeen hundred yards high, it was spiritized from the bones of giants, one of the glorious creations of the age of the gods.

And with the destruction of the Starry Kingdom, it has been in darkness for more than fifteen hundred years.

This pass built by death is full of terrifying undead giants, giant slaves pierced by huge iron chains and steel nails, giant corpses revived by black mist, giant ghosts roaring due to tragic death, and giant ghosts who use mind control A giant foreman of slave labor.

Countless resentment, hatred, and death gathered at this pass, forming a huge settlement.

Heavier things gathered more black mist. During the thousands of years of darkness, these terrifying undead underwent unimaginable changes under the erosion of black mist, and transformed into some even more unimaginable existence.

The most powerful Trorian 600 years ago was defeated in front of the storm pass, and thus fell into a slump.

For the next 600 years, no human dared to challenge it again.

Until now.

Human beings have once again come to the storm pass, and they have to tear off the haze of the past with their own hands and break the spell of fate.

Although Rhodes couldn't see the specific process of the battle, when he opened the eyes of the soul, he could see more details than others.

Under the sight of the eyes of the soul, the endless spiritual energy fluctuations are like a storm, and countless transparent ripples spread and converge, forming an infinitely huge impact in the eyes of others.

And in the majestic darkness, those incomparably deep beings were also awakened by this huge disturbance, sending out low and long spiritual energy fluctuations.

The spiritual energy of humans is different from that of monsters. The spiritual energy of humans is active and bright, like dancing sunlight, while the spiritual energy of monsters is deep and obscure, with a breath of despair. Volatility, too, varies.

It is difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference, but for Rhodes, he is already familiar with the road and can easily tell the difference.

For example, the brightest psychic light is that of Rovia, the son of fire. His psychic power is violent, restless, powerful, and full of explosive power. The color of the core is fiery red, surrounded by endless huge white light , that is the psionic energy gathered by the entire core legion manipulated by the resonance disk, controlled by the Son of Fire.

Under the influence of his will, all the psionic energy is filled with explosive power. Every blow he makes, the burst of psionic energy fluctuations are as high as a mountain.

And below him, large and small psionic energy fluctuations are densely superimposed on everything, that is the soldiers in the core legion.

If Rhodes chooses to join the legion, then he is one of countless circles.

The core legion is indeed extremely great, an outstanding creation of mankind, and Trorian's strongest trump card, but it is not suitable for him.

And the strength of the storm pass was beyond his imagination. The spiritual energy fluctuations inspired by the deep monster spiritual energy were like a boulder thrown into a swamp to cause mud waves, slow and heavy.

Countless such mud waves emanated, covering most of the human's spiritual energy ripples.

But Rovia, the son of fire, was not afraid at all. He slammed into the towering darkness with extremely powerful spiritual energy, like an angry dragon, and the continuous light mist followed, like a dragon body.

Soon, the entire core army entered the Storm Pass.

The battle intensified, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy became more frequent and huge, spreading far and wide until the end of the darkness.

hope everything is fine.

Rhodes thought to himself, turned to the west, and looked into the distance.

The deep and thick black fog greatly restricted his vision, and his sight distance was less than [-] yards.

As far as the eye could see, it was all deep darkness.

For the time being, no monsters can be seen, let alone the Castle of the Soul Devourer in the distance.

But Rhodes could faintly feel something stirring in the depths of the darkness.

Annabelle came over, pinned the red tearstone brooch on his chest, and hung a lantern with a faint light on his belt.

"Battle is necessary, don't forget."

Annabelle turned around one by one, fitting the red tearstone brooch and lantern on everyone, including herself.

Kashan poked her brooch curiously and asked, "What if it falls?"

Annabelle glanced at her: "Is this your first actual combat?"

Kashan blushed all of a sudden: "Of course not, I have killed countless monsters!"

But the voice quickly quieted down again: "It's just in the academy."

Rhodes glanced at her appreciatively. Not falsely reporting strength is the basic requirement of every fighter. Kashan has always been in the academy, and at most she followed the secret branch to a few missions in the safe zone, which is far from a real battle. Woolen cloth.

But she has firmly remembered the principle, and this quality is worthy of recognition.

Annabelle looked at her enviously: "Is it the first real battle on a battlefield of this level? It's really lucky."

Rhodes interjected, "But it's also very dangerous, Annabelle. In addition to using the spear to restrain the monster, your main task is to lead her. Cashan's hard power is not enough. Unless it is absolutely safe, don't get close to the monster."

Annabelle nodded: "I see."

Kashan clenched her fists, her cheeks flushed, but she didn't refute. She knew that the real battle was not a joke, and no waywardness was allowed. Her petty temper could be sent home, but she couldn't bring it to the battlefield.

Rhodes is very satisfied with Kashan's performance, the former team leader is indeed a good seed.

He continued: "Mephis, you are the same as before, the main task is to freeze monsters, don't get close to the front line, I can feel the danger here."

Mephis signaled with her eyes that she heard.

Afterwards, Annabe distributed the combat supplies and potions to everyone, and told them not to lose this glowing stone. It is a guide stone. If you accidentally lose it, you can crush it, and there will be a spot of light Guide them back to their station.

She sighed: "Psionic positioning instruments and guide stones are very precious. Our configuration for this battle is really high. It is indeed the right choice to follow you."

Rhodes smiled and said, "Of course, sooner or later you will be able to fight side by side with your sisters."

Annabel's eyes were full of joy, she turned around and took out a red stone from the bottom of the box, and handed it to Rhodes: "This is yours."

Rhodes looked curiously for a moment: "What is this?"

"I don't know, it was specially left for you by Your Excellency Dalin. It is said that it came from the White Tower."

Hearing the name of the White Tower, Rhodes put it away, perhaps related to the pursuit of Doomsday Cultists.

At this time, the psychic communicator lit up, and a red message appeared on the psychic light curtain.

"All combatants, prepare for battle at the first level! Non-combatants evacuate immediately!"

"The Battle of Storm Pass has begun, and the psychic disturbance has reached level [-]! It is predicted that it will be transmitted as far as [-] yards away. The White Tower has detected changes in the black mist, and the investigation legion has successively found signs of instability in various places. "

"Repeat, first-level battle preparation! Non-combatants who are still on the front line evacuate immediately!"

Everyone became nervous, Annabe held the fog tray in her hand, her knuckles turned white.

But the fog pan is blank, with nothing but bright spots representing them.

Rhodes glanced at the west nervously, and asked in his mind: "Book, have you heard of the Soul Devouring King?"

The Book of Knowledge replied: "No, maybe my crippled soul forgot it, maybe it was a monster born after the dream was destroyed, but I heard from the Chosen One of Fire that it is a king-level monster, if it When you wake up, things get worse."

Rhodes frowned, "Why?"

The Book of Knowledge said: "When Aphrodite was in the Temple of Fire, he heard a lot of information about Trorian humans. The puppet and I deduced from some information fragments that your current situation seems to be quite bad."

"In Trorian, there are only 11 Herrscher-level combat powers, and only one king-level combat power. He is still the Chosen of Fire who resonates with the Holy Fire. He cannot leave the Holy Fire. In a conventional battle, Not being able to move freely is tantamount to not having this person.”

"That is to say, there are only 11 superior combat forces who can move freely."

Rhodes felt a very uneasy feeling from the handwriting of the Book of Knowledge, and asked a little dissatisfied.

"So what? The king himself is responsible for guarding the torch. We still have so many warriors and so many strong men."

The writing on the Book of Knowledge became heavy.

"Master, things are not as simple as you think. King-level monsters are fundamentally different from other-level monsters. To deal with a king-level monster, at least one superior combat power must exist, otherwise it is impossible to kill it."

"And Afro and I deduced that at least four or five of those 11 people were in great trouble."

"On the north, east, and south of Trorian, there are king-level monsters, and some of them are even active. When they will attack is unpredictable."

The Book of Knowledge paused for a few seconds before continuing to write.

"A king-level monster is a terrible disaster. If there is no power to restrain it, it can destroy a civilization. In the past history, such things have happened more than once."

"And some of these 11 people are confronting these extremely dangerous monsters and preventing them from approaching Trorian."

"Finally, there are still some people who should be on high alert. After all, all the logic of the monster's behavior is a superficial glimpse on the surface of the sea. Its deep essence is chaos and disorder, and any behavior is possible."

Rhodes frowned and said, "You mean... Wangcheng can't get any more super fighters now?"

"Correct."

The Book of Knowledge gave an affirmative answer.

"Although your grading system is very strange, it is also excellent and efficient. Your resonant battle group may be the last force you can squeeze out. Any king-level awakening in the west will bring trouble to Trorian. devastating consequences."

Rhodes tentatively asked, "Can't I go up and kill it? Like while it's sleeping."

The Book of Knowledge shook his head: "This is impossible. You should know that the soul hand of the soul altar has a limit. The soul crit it gives is actually a two-way contact. If the power gap is too large, you will To be killed by a monster, with your current strength of psychic power, even if the explosive ability is fully activated, you will only be killed by a king-level monster."

Rhode's heart sank. If he couldn't even kill the "soul crit", then this monster would no longer be within his hunting range.

He couldn't help asking: "How far can I kill?"

The Book of Knowledge thought for a while and wrote: "About first-level fighters, your grading system is really convenient... Of course, you also need to activate the Titan Power and use Soul Strike to improve your strength... And , just in the case of being drawn out, it does not mean that you have the ability to fight head-on with it."

Rhode nodded slightly: "I see."

The standard for a first-level combatant is eleventh-level psionic power and mastery of the field, and he is still a little far away now.

"What should I do now?"

The Book of Knowledge reads: "Kill the incoming monsters as much as possible, and ensure that the Legion will not be disturbed. The sooner the war ends, the safer you will be."

"In addition, the faster the killing process, the better. I saw some divinity from it, which proves that this is effective... There are a lot of divinity that can be obtained in this battle. Master must try your best to obtain it. The next invasion It’s all about these divinities.”

Rhodes nodded: "I know, how is the dream now?"

"The obelisk has been repaired, and I am repairing the puppet. There is not much soul and spirituality left, maybe not enough, and there is no primordial soil."

Rhodes didn't ask any more, he had already seen a monster approaching them.

A few seconds later, Annabe's fog disk also sensed its existence, and a huge black spot appeared on the fog disk.

"Here we come! It's a strong high-level!"

Annabelle screamed.

"Eleventh-level monster spiritual wave! The soul has a dark spiral pattern, with a dark golden light attached, at least it controls a part of the source!"

Rhodes glanced at her: "You also know so clearly?"

Annabelle glared at him: "Of course, I'm a professional! What are you talking about now? Monsters are coming! Get ready to fight!"

Rhodes smiled and said, "I know."

In the past, he might have been very nervous, but for him now, a powerful high-level eleventh-level psionic power is not a monster that is difficult to deal with.

Rhodes took a deep breath, and the psionic energy surged up all over his body, and the more controllable level ten human psionic energy burst out, blowing towards his face like a hurricane, making Annabe unable to breathe for a while, and Cassan also felt a little stuffy.

Only Memphis looked normal.

"let's go!"

After the voice fell, Rhodes was nowhere to be seen.
