the last king of darkness

Chapter 407 Hunting
The Book of Knowledge said ecstatically: "Good! Great! We are saved!"

It ran wildly in my mind, and the pages of the book almost flew up.

Rhodes was slightly surprised. Although the source material is very precious, the source material suitable for stars is even more precious, but he has obtained a lot before, and he has never seen it so happy.

"Book, is there any difference in this source matter?"

The book of knowledge laughed wildly and wrote: "The source matter? No, no, not only the source matter, but the stars are different. [Star Shuttle] is a very strong star. After quantification, it can bring a lot of source energy to the dream. The stars themselves The improvement of is also very large, and its star power is one of our main weapons."

Rhodes was overjoyed, but this was not a place to stay for a long time. After the seal was stabilized, he picked up the seriously injured Hall, hugged the weak Mithor, and rushed out.

There is no obstacle on this road, all the monsters turned into ashes, all the sealed doors collapsed by themselves, the entire Castle of the Devourer King became empty, even the black mist faded a lot, Rhodes even Pick up the ashes of the monster when you have time.

After running out of the Ghost King's castle, Rhode's line of sight extended a thousand yards away.

As far as I could see, it was empty, without a single monster, and all the soul-thirsty demons I saw before were burned to ashes in the fire rain.

Rhodes sighed in his heart, is this the background of a first-level combatant?When they fight with all their strength regardless of everything, is this the burst of strength?

It wasn't until Rhodes ran out of the influence range of the Ghost King's castle that he saw the shadow of the monster.

It can be seen that the disturbance of the thirsty soul demon at that time pulled all the monsters in the entire area.

The book of knowledge said in the mind: "Master, look."

Rhodes looked back. This time, he clearly felt the difference in the Castle of the Ghost King. The entire area centered on the castle was sinking, and the space was obviously distorted, as if there was some kind of supermassive object.

Mithor said softly: "This is the characteristic of the Devouring King. The king-level existence transcends everything. It deposits the power of the dark world here. The thick black mist has spawned more and more powerful monsters."

The Book of Knowledge corrected in his mind: "To be precise, it is its strong source."

"The soul that controls a lot of laws is extremely heavy. It bends the sea of ​​origin to form a domain well effect. This is a very powerful king-level monster. It completely controls the laws of origin in its soul. Even in the heyday of human beings, this Nor is it a disaster that can be easily handled."

It wasn't until this moment that Rhodes clearly felt the strength of the king.

Different from the previous level, the monsters are no longer simply enhanced in spiritual power, but have undergone essential changes. They no longer exist on the same level, and their potential has undergone a leap.

The Book of Knowledge once told him that the higher the status, the more primitive, and the closer to the origin of the world.

But the transition of potential is very difficult. After the psionic energy reaches a certain level, only the control of the source law can improve the potential.

Rhodes realized in his heart.

No wonder there are so many super monsters in the strong super-order, and it's no wonder that the gap between them is so big.

All monsters that do not control the source of power cannot be kings.

Anyone who does not control enough power in the Sea of ​​Origin is not worthy of being king.

No matter how strong their psychic abilities are, they are all included in the strong super-order.

So much so that super monsters like abyssal snakes and worm queens appeared in the strong super-level.

From this point of view, the Nightmare of Dead Souls that Rhodes once killed was his most profitable monster.

Revenant Nightmare stole a strong source by accident, and was forced to invade the dreamland before fully controlling the situation, and finally brought him a big meal.

Without that invasion, it would be impossible for Rhodes to ignite [Giant Power], and he would not be able to quickly break through the tenth level of psionic ability, grow into a second-level combatant, and even less be able to shine in the subsequent series of battles.

Of course, if Rhodes shrank back then and didn't choose to disturb the darkness, then such a huge opportunity would have been wasted in vain.

Ah!
Rhodes clenched his hands.

It seems that I have really strangled the throat of fate.

As long as you can grasp its veins, go up step by step, tear up the darkness, eliminate the black mist, and let the light illuminate the earth, maybe it is not an idiot's dreamlike delusion.

Of course, I absolutely can't be brain twitching anymore.

One wrong step is the abyss that will never be restored, and the bad problems of the book of knowledge must be corrected.

It is better to repair the doll as soon as possible, Afro is the most reliable.

But where is the "earth of origin"?What should I look for?The task of searching for it in Wangcheng has not yet heard back.

Also, the task of the Devouring King has been completed in this way, what does the number "51" mean?Is it resolved?Or has disaster already struck?
Or is it just the babbling of the book or my hallucination?
Rhodes was full of thoughts, and many questions rolled in his mind, and he couldn't stop for a moment.

After an hour.

Rhodes rushed back to the rock lighthouse.

The hall of the lighthouse was already full of people, first commander Herman and archbishop Horus were there, as well as many defense chiefs and logistics personnel.

The moment Rhodes stepped in, Horus and Herman rushed up, and the white healing light enveloped him in an instant, and Mithor and Hall in his hands were picked up at some point. A large number of medical personnel rushed here, and the psychic light flickered due to the treatment came and went one after another.

No one spoke, and everyone stared at Rhodes anxiously.

Herman held his hand, and Horus squeezed his shoulder.

Rhodes said before his hands and shoulders were broken: "The mission is successful!"

The hall fell into absolute silence for a moment.

In the next second, huge cheers shook the sky.

Almost everyone jumps up, hugs, kisses anything and everything around them.

Herman said ecstatically, "I knew it! I knew you would succeed. You never let me down! Not once! Rhodes, you are our hero, our new star, and our hope!"

He leaned forward with a bearded face, kissing Rhode fiercely with a bloody mouth, and his face was covered with saliva.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Rod shoved him hard, no one could stand being kissed by a bearded hunk.

Horus was also full of relief, and said with emotion: "Good job, little Rhodes, I really didn't expect you to become the mainstay of mankind in such a short period of time, and be able to complete a real disaster-level task. "

"It seems that you are already qualified to participate in Trorian's decision-making. After this battle is over, I will propose to the king that you be promoted to a first-level commander, an elder of fire, and the leader of the Honor Legion."

Herman smiled and said, "If Lockhart's iron-headed brain doesn't want to do it anymore, you can fill in and become the army commander of the expedition army."

I don't know who shouted: "Good day, Your Excellency, Legion Commander Rhodes!"

Immediately following the wind, there was a cry of "Legion Commander Rhodes".

Whenever this time is also a time when human nature is soaring, the swarm of human nature almost drowns his sight.

Although Rhodes was very reluctant, after waiting for a while, when the numbers of human nature in front of him were not so dense, he still thought that more important things should be said.

"Guardian Liliwei died in battle."

In a word, in an instant, the entire lighthouse fell silent.

Only then did everyone realize that there was still one of them who hadn't come back.

After Jon returned to the Fire of Resonance, the remaining consciousness immediately told the situation in the Castle of the Soul Devouring King. While Wangcheng gathered all the medical forces to save Jon, he also managed to fail the mission and wake up the Soul Devouring King. Prepare.

That's why Archbishop Horus traveled thousands of miles from the northern front to the western front.

The big eyes of the White Tower also focused most of their attention on the castle of the Spirit Devourer King, but they have not noticed any changes, and the future fate is also unclear.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they didn't let go until Rhodes brought back the news of victory.

But what he said next made their hearts sink to the ground again.

Lilivia is one of the only 31 remaining guardians in Trorian, and this number was only reached when there were several promotions this year.

Her chaotic fire is a unique characteristic, which was once considered by Meredith, the Lord of the White Tower, to be the most destructive characteristic. , then she will become the most destructive super fighter in Trorian.

Trorian can then consider starting the War of Kings and try to eliminate the nearby king-level threats. They have always been hanging over human beings like the sword of Damocles, restricting the development of human beings and threatening the safety of human beings. .

Once these monsters that hinder the human kingdom are killed, Trorian will be able to allocate more power, the pace of human expansion and recovery will be greatly accelerated, and the crisis of destruction will be less.

But all of this, with the death of Li Liwei, has come to naught.

Sadness and pain clearly appeared on Horus' face like a log, his hands were hanging down powerlessly, and there was a strong pain in his eyes. For a moment, Horus wanted to withdraw from the king's side, but he was One of Trorian's main decision-makers, and the undisputed highest-ranking one here, is what he should be doing at all times to remain calm and rational.

"Everyone."

He spoke, his voice hoarse.

"Please return to your respective posts, the war is not over yet."

In the dull air, everyone left silently. Hall and Misor were also taken away by the medical staff. Their injuries were serious, and their souls were also polluted. They needed to go to Wangcheng for further treatment. treat.

Herman sat down on the ground slumped, and said sullenly, "How could this happen?"

Horus's face returned to silence, and he said expressionlessly: "Rhodes, please recount what happened in detail, and don't miss a single detail."

Rhodes nodded and began to speak in detail.

From the moment they received the task to the time they completed the seal, every detail was not hidden, including his resurrection ability, and only the content related to the Book of Knowledge was skipped.

After listening, Herman's hands turned white, his back was wet, and his face was full of shock and fear.

"It's not easy...it's really not easy, but if there is even the slightest mistake, this task will be impossible to complete."

There was also a little expression on Horus's blank face.

"It's much more dangerous than we expected. The difficulty of this mission far exceeds the original specifications. It's because we decision makers didn't think carefully enough. The secrets hidden in the castle of the Ghost King are far beyond imagination. The core of the seal turned out to be source matter, Meredith's seal may not last for a long time."

"Perhaps, it won't be long before we will still face the Spirit Devourer."

Horus paused, and said again.

"The dangers of Doomsday believers are far beyond imagination, and the Book of Fate must not be held in their hands."

Heman clenched his teeth and said, "The gang of maggots should have been exterminated long ago! Hiding in such a deep place in the sewer, it wasn't because they were afraid of disturbing the abyss that they would have been burned to ashes long ago!"

Horus' eyes turned around in an instant, staring at Herman.

Herman covered his mouth abruptly, surprise and panic flashed in his eyes.

Rhodes raised his eyebrows: "The abyss? Is the abyss under the king's city?"

Horus was silent for a few seconds, sighed and said, "Forget it, Rhodes, you are now one of the decision makers, and you are qualified to know these top secrets."

Herman breathed a sigh of relief: "Little Rhodes, it's not that we deliberately concealed it. Randomly spreading these news will cause a lot of negative effects. People's mental endurance has a limit. If the panic exceeds a certain limit, it will be greatly reduced. Breeding doomsday believers, the souls of the fire bearers will be more susceptible to erosion and pollution, and even their own darkening, degenerating from humans to monsters."

Horus nodded.

"In such a hopeless world, knowing more is not a good thing. Before obtaining the corresponding qualifications, we rarely reveal more secrets. The abyss below the royal city is one of the news that must never be revealed. "

Rhodes frowned.

"The abyss you are talking about is the abyss fissure?"

Horus shook his head slightly.

"Do not."

Rhodes frowned deeper.

"Archbishop, I remember someone telling me that the real abyss is the dark side of the universe beyond the reach of gods, and the cracks in the abyss are just the product of the broken space derived from the outer abyss. Therefore, there is also a certain theory in the royal city that thinks , the real abyss is the origin of the black mist."

Horus nodded slightly.

"That's right, there are many schools and scholars in Wangcheng who have been searching for the real abyss, trying to use it to find the truth of the birth of the black mist, and then find a way to break it, but unfortunately, there is no result yet."

He paused, then continued.

"They discovered the abyss below the royal city."

"That is a completely different existence from the chasm of the abyss. The absolute darkness can engulf all light, and the terrifying pollution can instantly extinguish the red tearstone and afterglow."

"It is located in an unimaginably deep position under the royal city, and it is eroding upwards. Many monsters hidden deep in the ground have been infected with the breath of the abyss. The prophecy of the White Tower shows that there is an extremely terrifying existence below."

"We are not sure what it is, we don't know whether it will be disturbed, and we don't want to have an accident at this time, so when the leader Asa ran to the deepest part of the sewer, we suspended our urgent pursuit and lurked Get up and prepare to wipe them out with a thunderous blow when the time is right."

Horus let out a long sigh.

"I didn't expect them to be so harmful. What the Book of Fate can do is beyond our imagination."

Herman said: "However, Rhodes, don't worry, the White Tower has completely locked their positions, and the ruling chief Lucien will immediately launch a fatal blow to completely wipe them out."

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds, and spoke in an unprecedentedly cautious tone.

"Archbishop, I request to join the hunting team."
