the last king of darkness

Chapter 42 Strange Watchmen

"It's a magic lock."

Raistlin said quietly.

"It seems that there are some special existences among the coming enemies, and they cannot get out without killing the caster."

Rhodes instantly remembered when he fought with Lauren in the warehouse on Firehammer Street and Bass, the doomsday cultist, who also claimed to have used the psychic mystic.

But Lauren destroys the lantern at his waist by simply letting it glow, injuring Buzz badly.

"Why don't we use spiritual lamps to illuminate the space?"

Raistlin gave him a slightly surprised look:
"Rhode, sometimes you really don't act like a rookie."

He tilted his head slightly:
"We can't illuminate such a large space."

His expression looked very calm, and he was not panicked by the arrival of a powerful enemy.

"Fight."

Raistlin took out the medicine bottle at his waist, drank it in one gulp, took out a tube of blue powder, poured it into his mouth, took out a box of crimson powder, and poured it all into the lamp hanging on his waist.

The lamp suddenly became brighter.

Iger and Caramon handed the same powder to Raistlin, who both poured it into their lamps.

The light changed from blazing to soft, with a faint yellow of flame.

The white light in the heart of the lamp seemed to be burning.

In Rhodes' line of sight, a powerful, warm, and life-like fire ignited, blooming with a power completely different from the darkness, repelling the cold, dead, and dead breath.

"Only half an hour." Iger reminded.

Raistlin nodded, and put his hand over the lamp.

Rhodes clearly saw that powerful spiritual energy emerged from the depths of his soul and poured into the spiritual lamp along the shining veins.

The fire in the lamp was brighter.

"I'm up."

Caramon clapped his hands, and a dazzling aura flew into Raistlin's body, brightening his entire soul.

Raistlin's feet stopped, and his body rushed straight away like an arrow from the string.

Iger said: "Rhode, you stand here, don't come if anything happens." White mist diffused from his hands and feet, lifted his short body, and followed behind Raistlin.

Caramon unfastened the long whip around his waist and followed suit.

Rhodes stood by the wall alone, and the solidified darkness blocked all their ways out, even his eyes of the soul could not see through.

The monsters from afar came quickly.

The moment they appeared in front of him, Rhodes saw the words floating on their souls.

Mad sinner.

Type: Cursed.

Threat Assessment: Medium.

Soul Trait: Frenzy.

Danger: Excessive staring can cause frantic curses.

This is a group of scarecrow-like monsters, with slender hands and feet, and a withered body, but the head part is a mass of entangled, wriggling large intestines. There are about a dozen of them.

Then, another giant crow appeared.

Evil Crow.

Type: Cursed.

Threat Assessment: High.

Soul Trait: Psionic Mystery.

Danger: When you see it, there is no way to run away.

This is a very deformed crow, its whole body is festered, its body is only about the size of a pig, but its head is bigger than the entire carriage. There are six pairs of glowing red eyes on the huge beak.

Regardless of the strange feeling in his heart, Rhode shouted out the information he saw.

But the battle was already going on, and they didn't bother to answer.

Raistlin's whole body was filled with psychic energy, and his firepower was fully fired. Row after row of steel needles strafed the audience, firmly holding back the hatred of all the scarecrows and crows.

The huge light from the spirit lamp around his waist scorched them like the sun, and sporadic flames continued to ignite on them, making their movements sluggish.

And whenever the surrounding monsters wanted to escape from the disgusting flames, Raistlin would swoop in, sweeping with steel needles, smashing with knives and slapping shields, forcing them to turn their heads.

And when the monster attacked him, he would immediately turn around and receive the heavy blow with his back. The scarecrow's bamboo pole-like arm hit Raistlin's broad back, unable to cause any damage, but was pierced all over by the reflected steel needle.

Raistlin moved around in the crowd of monsters, the sword and square shield flew up and down, chopping the intestinal fluid on the scarecrow's head flying around, and turning around was as smooth as Dove, and did not let any threatening attack hit his front.

The only thing that can hurt him is the crow.

Its psychic strength surpassed that of other monsters by a level. Its huge beak was pecked off, and it could penetrate the defensive barrier on Raistlin's back, and it was not afraid of steel needles.

These steel needles can't even pierce its feathers.

After Raistlin suffered a loss, he no longer dealt with it, and let Egger control it instead.

Although it only took one or two seconds for the crow to break free from the white smoke, Raistlin ran away after such a resistance, and tauntingly threw the steel needle into the crow's face.

Although unable to deal damage, it can always arouse its aggro.

And the injury on Raistlin's back also quickly recovered under Caramon's healing. Although the whole battle looked dangerous, it was under control.

The stone in Rhodes' heart was temporarily put down. He saw that the monster's spiritual energy was gradually weakened under the light of the fire, and it was gradually unable to suppress the flames burning on its body.

The fire grew, and the scene quickly turned into dozens of Burning Men chasing Raistlin.

And Raistlin would get Caramon's "spiritual resonance" from time to time. Whenever this time, he would put his hand on the lamp, inject spiritual energy into the lamp, and make the fire flourish.

Under the strong light, the monster's movements became more sluggish, and the flames on its body became more ferocious.

Only the black crow was unaffected, the flames were extinguished in an instant, but the white smoke kept disturbing it, making it unable to catch up with Raistlin, ramming like a dog in the field.

Although the scene is dangerous, it seems to be under their control.

Rhodes thought to himself that they should plan to wipe out the Scarecrow first, and then turn back to deal with the crow.

Very reasonable tactics, especially the fire from the lamp, which caused a lot of damage to the Scarecrow.

The only problem is that they expend a lot of power against the Scarecrow, not sure if they can beat the mighty Crow.

No, I have to share some of the pressure with them.

Rhodes raised the gun, and spiritual energy rushed into the gun stock again.

It seemed that Rhodes felt a little tired due to the frequent use of psychic energy. The recharging of the spiritual gun was a little slow, and it took about 8 seconds for the spiritual pressure meter to be fully charged.

But that doesn't matter.

Under the gaze of the Eye of Soul, Rhodes accurately captured all the details on the battlefield, found the most suitable time to shoot, and the real silver bullet accurately hit a scarecrow who had just received a heavy blow.

At the moment when the soul waveform became disordered, its psionic energy also became sluggish.

This is the flaw.

The realsilver bullet accurately hit its disgusting brain, and the black bone marrow ash full of psionic energy released its full energy, and the huge explosion blew the scarecrow's head into powder.

The headless body shook twice, then fell to the ground, black fly ash flew up from it along with flames, representing its complete death.

The black line flew again, and a line of text appeared in the eyes.

【Soul of the Mad Sinner】

Ok?
Why is it different this time?
Doubt was instantly buried in his heart, and Rhodes looked nervously at the battlefield.

Although he thought his timing of his cut was excellent, the monster being hit was on the edge of the field, the mighty Crow was bound by white smoke on the other side, and Raistlin was jumping into the air and starting to release the needles.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't cause too much disturbance, but after all, this is the first time he has encountered this kind of battle formation, and he is somewhat afraid of being a pig teammate.

Fortunately, there was no change in the strange group, and Raistlin still swept the scarecrow while stalking the crow.

Iger was still spraying white smoke, and Caramon was throwing blue water waves from the long whip to heal Raistlin's wounds.

Teammates did not scold him or warn him, proving that his actions are recognized.

Rhode's heart was filled with ecstasy for a moment. With so many monsters and so many powerful souls, maybe the third star could light up.

In less than a month after entering the academy, he ignited three fires. He might become a super genius born once in a hundred years in Jinworth Academy. Wang specially invited him to be a guest of Trorian Kingdom, and marry a few princesses? Yes, even in such a dark and weird world, he can accept such beautiful days.

Hahahaha, I have hope in my life again, and I no longer have to suffer and worry every day.

The ecstasy didn't affect his calmness. Rhode raised his gun again and accurately found the second target.

With a gunshot, the second scarecrow shattered on the spot.

【Small piece of soul】

Gee, is this the reason for luck?

I have a certain chance to get a whole soul, or a fragment of a soul?
Just had bad luck?
Rhodes fired a third shot, and another scarecrow was blown up by him.

【Soul of the Mad Sinner】

Haha.

Good luck.

A little depression was instantly washed away by ecstasy.

Rhodes was a little more courageous, and fired the fourth and fifth shots at short intervals.

【Small piece of soul】

【Large piece of soul】

Okay.

Rhodes continued to recharge, but his spirit was obviously exhausted.

This is a sign of excessive use of spiritual energy, and the charging of the spiritual gun has also become very slow, and it has not been fully charged in more than ten seconds.

Rhodes was very anxious. These scarecrows became very weak under the scorching of the fire, and their spiritual power dimmed a lot. Surrounded by raging flames, they almost completely turned into a group of firemen.

Obviously, they can't hold on anymore.

If this continues, he won't be able to grab the monster head.

Rhodes hurriedly took out the red powder from his arms and poured it into his mouth.

The crimson powder passed through his throat like a pepper, and hit his stomach like a ball of fire, and the powerful heat began to spread from the stomach to all the limbs.

His spirit burned, and his psychic energy boiled with it.

it is good!
Rhodes had a certain thought, and the powerful spiritual energy surged again, and the spiritual pressure gauge soared into the sky.

boom!
The sixth scarecrow was reduced to ashes.

【Soul of the Mad Sinner】

it is good!
Rhodes was ecstatic in his heart, and while the effect of the red powder was still there, he shot continuously, blasting the remaining scarecrows one by one.

Another four [small pieces of soul], one [large piece of soul], and one [soul of a mad sinner] were obtained.

Now, only Crow is left on the field.

The pressure is reduced a lot.

But the danger still exists. The three of them have consumed most of their psychic energy, so they can't be careless. They concentrate on dealing with the only remaining monster, but they don't know when the psychic magic lock has expired. A strange figure is quietly at the top of the sewer. watching them.

Only Rhodes noticed something was wrong.

As long as there is no occlusion, the eye of the soul has a very wide range of vision, and he can clearly see the figure. He hangs upside down from the top like a bat, and the wave of the soul is as low as a tuba.

Unlike monsters, human souls always take on various complex and strange appearances.

And this one, he was impressed.

The watchmen of Iron Cross, whom their flares are calling for.

The guy with the half iron mask on!

Rhodes suddenly became nervous.

How is this going?
