the last king of darkness

Chapter 437 Ghosts of the Past (Part [-])
Immediately afterwards, countless pairs of giant hands broke through the ground, and a huge black object protruded from the big pit.

It was more than a hundred yards in diameter, black mud flowed on its surface, and countless pairs of giant hands protruded from its interior, dragging this black mud ball-like thing out of the big pit.

The moment it appeared, Rhodes found countless translucent shadows around him.

They were clad in strange dark blue armor and long cloaks, and held hiltless long swords and wedge-shaped shields.

Sauron recognized it instantly.

"It's the Fighting Star Knights. Those broken armor and weapons are in this style. Look, there are their fighting star logos on the cloak and shield."

Rhodes was surprised: "Is this their ghost?"

Sauron's face became extremely gloomy, and the psychic energy in his hand flickered, and he had already entered a fighting state.

"No, this is not a ghost, it is some kind of existence between projection and vision, but I don't know if they have anything to do with the original owner..."

boom!
An extremely bright white light shot up into the sky around him, powerful spiritual energy rushed towards his face, and a huge six-armed body appeared in the light.

"How strong."

Six giant arms spread out, six giant swords were raised high, and Jessica's voice came from a height.

"You won't know until you hit it."

boom!
Six giant swords fell at the same time, smashing into the phantom in six directions.

Rhodes felt the ground shake, black mud splashed hundreds of yards high, mud and rocks flew around, and the ground cracked.

The huge sword was raised, leaving six extremely long sword marks, and the phantoms that were struck were all wiped out and dissipated in the air.

Sauron showed a little smile.

"It doesn't seem very strong, maybe it has inherited half of the fighting power of the Star Fighting Knights."

Before the words were finished, Jessica's big windmill was already spinning, and the six giant swords swept across like cutting melons and vegetables, and quickly wiped out a large area of ​​phantoms.

In the blink of an eye, the six-armed snake demon had already rushed in front of that weird black object.

"Destroy it."

Six gigantic swords pierced through the air and hit the black object at the same time.

However, something unexpected happened to everyone. The giant sword passed through the black object and smashed heavily on the ground, splitting a crack hundreds of yards long.

And the black object reappeared not far away, like a phantom.

The giant hand protruded from its interior again, grasping the ground.

Jessica immediately came to her senses: "It's a dark distortion vision!"

Rhodes also discovered the abnormality. He eliminated several phantoms casually, but did not obtain souls, only a very small amount of soulless souls.

This shows that they are just some kind of derivative creation, and the real source of power is not themselves.

Sauron has been fighting for a long time and has rich experience. He shouted: "We need to find the source of the dark and distorted vision, and destroy the source, so that the vision can be eliminated."

Rhodes immediately remembered his experience in Storm Castle.

That was the case back then, and it was also related to the Knights of the Starry Kingdom, a dark, twisted vision of tainted demi-artifacts that kept spawning some sort of disgusting shit-spitting monster attacking the city.

When he and the conquest team found the source of the disaster, the dark twisted vision summoned many undead knights to attack them, and the team fell into desperation for a while.

Of course, under the leadership of Rhodes' infinite wisdom and heroism, they tried their best to turn the tide. In the end, the dark twisted vision was careless, and accidentally fell into Rhodes' trap. At a critical moment, a soul was born, and then, Rhodes Die dead.

Therefore, sometimes it is a good thing to not have a soul, at least not to be killed by Rhodes.

Just like the one in front of him, Rhodes can't see a trace of soul, and even the psionic energy is deep and restrained, so he can't see it clearly.

It is out of the question to use "soul crit" to deal with it.

To make matters worse, this dark twisted vision may have some kind of phantom-related properties. It constantly summons the phantoms of the Fighting Star Knights, and it can also become a phantom itself to avoid attacks.

Jessica's several attacks were unsuccessful, and the cause of it was not found.

The speed of the phantom summoned by the dark twisted vision is getting faster and faster, and countless phantoms appear from the air, almost filling the canyon.

With a vigorous swing of Sauron, the forty-yard-long psionic greatsword wiped out a phantom, but more phantoms rushed forward.

The power of these phantoms is about between the strong elementary level and the ferocious super level. Originally, there was no threat to the combat power of the two guardians and a combatant close to the first level.

But there are too many phantoms, even Jessica can't finish them. They wiped out one batch after another. The phantoms like a tide even passed through the six rotating giant swords and climbed onto Jessica's huge snake. .

Jessica was shocked by her psychic energy and bounced away these phantoms. She opened up all her firepower, her psychic energy went berserk, and the six giant swords pulled out afterimages. The sharp sword energy enveloped a range of [-] yards around her, and the huge wind The howling sound resounded throughout the Death Scar Canyon, but it was still gradually submerged by the phantom.

On the other side, Rhodes also rushed into the phantom group holding a sword in one hand.

Now he is far from the youthful self he was at the beginning. He is proficient in combat, has superb skills, and has a very high ability to use psionic energy. , the eleventh-level psionic ability that has broken through 5000 thousand moments also makes him invincible, and the advanced [Star Shuttle] is even more powerful. Once the star shuttle is fired, all the phantoms on a line are immediately emptied.

Ordinary phantoms couldn't stop him at all. He rushed left and right among the phantoms, as if he had entered a land of no one, but the number of phantoms became clearer and more, and all he could see were translucent shadows shining shimmeringly. .

To make matters worse, Rhodes vaguely felt that the strength of the phantom was gradually increasing.

This is not only reflected in its spiritual power, but also in its combat ability, skills, and use of spiritual power.

Some phantoms will start to dodge their attacks, or try to parry attacks with unloading techniques, and their attacks have also become sharp and ingenious, and they gradually have the feeling of some high-level combatants.

Sauron shouted anxiously: "Not good! The phantoms are resonating with their past existence! The power of this dark and twisted vision is beyond our imagination."

"What do you mean? Is the phantom becoming real?"

"No, but it is becoming as strong as it really is. Existence will leave traces, and the dark distortion vision is trying to match the traces of the Fighting Star Knights, so as to reproduce their power."

Sauron's tone was extremely anxious.

"We must find the cause of it as soon as possible."

"Teacher Sauron." Rhodes shouted: "I have an immature idea. If I guess correctly, the artifact of the Fighting Star Knights, the Wedge of Wind, is the source of this dark and distorted vision because!"

Sauron frowned: "How do you know?"

Rhode briefly told the story of the Battle of Storm Castle.

Sauron suddenly understood, and he thought nervously for a few seconds, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.

"Yes."

he shouted.

"This speculation is very possible. When the artifact is polluted, its powerful power may produce a dark distortion vision, affecting the surrounding space and laws. This dark distortion vision is so closely related to the Fighting Star Knights, Must be connected to them! You must have a way of destroying it, right?"

Rhodes replied: "Yes, but I have to get close to it before I can use this method."

"What way? Can it work?"

"Yes, my...uh, there are some fragments of the soul body stored in the rice bucket. I pour them into the dark distortion vision, and I can force it to give birth to a soul as soon as possible. The newly born soul is very fragile and has no protection. I One hit kills."

Sauron glanced at the dark and distorted vision behind layers of phantoms in the distance, and asked worriedly: "Is it possible? With its power level, the fragile time of the soul is fleeting."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Believe me, teacher, I am no longer a young student, and I will not let go of any chance to penetrate."

"it is good!"

Sauron suddenly jumped back and jumped near Jessica.

"Jessica, protect me for a moment."

Jessica understood immediately, and the windmill immediately circled Sauron. The giant sword and the strong wind roared around him, but they didn't hurt him at all.

Sauron's body surged with psychic energy, and the blue-white light covered his body surface. He was becoming psychic, and a powerful force gathered in his hands at an unimaginable speed. The flow in the veins is clearly visible.

In his hand, it seemed that the liquid light was extending.

Gradually, an unprecedented super spiritual giant sword appeared in his hand.

Sauron's exclusive weapon is broken, and his combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, but his characteristics can still be used.

"Rod, get ready to go!"

He shouted.

"There is only this one chance! You must seize it!"

Rhodes understood instantly, his mind was highly concentrated, and his spiritual energy had gathered in advance.

The next second, Sauron gripped the giant sword tightly with both hands and raised it high.

Accompanied by a deafening shout, the spiritual giant sword slashed in the direction of the dark and distorted vision at an extremely fast speed.

boom!
White light shot up into the sky, piercing through the thick black mist, and the heavy black rain was blown away without a trace, leaving only white light in the whole world.

Countless phantoms melted and disappeared in the white light, Rhodes moved his feet, but rushed in the opposite direction.

Sure enough, the dark twisted vision escaped the blow with phantom, and reappeared in another direction, almost the same as Rhodes.

Rhodes immediately stretched out his hands, and with a thought, countless black and white spiritless souls spewed out from his palms, mixed with translucent spirituality, and some small souls, quickly drowning the dark and distorted vision.

The white light fell, and Sauron's spiritual energy was exhausted again.

He was exhausted and fell to the ground, but he still kept his eyes on Rhodes and shouted, "Is it useful?"

Rhodes didn't speak. After a brief pause, the black object turned into a phantom and disappeared again, but most of the remaining spiritless souls and spirits on the ground were empty, and they must have been swallowed by it.

Spiritless souls and spirits are exposed to high levels of pollution and quickly decay into a sticky black stuff.

With a flash of inspiration in Rhode's hand, several Star Shuttles hit and destroyed them.

In the empty surroundings, phantoms appeared again.

Sauron said disappointedly: "Have you failed?"

"No."

This time it was Jessica's voice.

Her huge snake body turned around and looked into the distance on the other side.

The dark and distorted vision stopped there, and it had already changed its appearance.

Black mud fell from its body, revealing countless broken corpses, broken hands, broken feet, shrunken heads, broken body and internal organs, and bone fragments, all piled up together to form a huge pile of corpses.

Dozens of giant hands protruded from the pile of corpses, supporting it on the ground.

"This is the wreckage of the Fighting Star Knights."

Jessica said in a low voice.

"It's no wonder that the armors we found were all empty. Their corpses were gathered together by this thing. This is a dark and distorted vision with undead attributes."

Rhodes face was gloomy.

Its existence is a blasphemy to the warriors who fought bravely in the dark, and it must be destroyed no matter what.

He has already seen that there are souls gathering inside it, and as long as the soul appears, its time of death will come.

At this time, new phantoms are still appearing, but the number has been greatly reduced.

But Jessica suddenly discovered that they seemed to be becoming solid.
