the last king of darkness

Chapter 515 Silver Vow and Forbidden Arming

Rhodes frowned. He remembered that someone once told him that the real abyss is the dark side that even the gods cannot reach.

Abyss fissures are nothing but fragments of the shattered outer abyss, at best they can only be regarded as derivatives of the abyss.

According to legend, the black mist originated from the real abyss.

Unexpectedly, it was actually in the deepest part of the sewers of the royal city, and the silver oath was actually a seal to suppress it.

"archbishop."

Rhodes asked suspiciously.

"We're so close to the abyss, why not investigate it?"

Horus shook his head grimly.

"The terror in the abyss is unimaginable. Maintaining its tranquility is the best outcome. Before Your Excellency Theodore spends huge resources to build the Silver Oath, the monsters in the abyss will spew out every few decades. Yes The royal city has caused serious disasters, and until today, there is still a strong abyssal atmosphere in the deepest part of the sewer."

"As for the birth of the black mist, you need to enter the abyss to verify it. At present, the silver oath has not yet reached such a level of freedom. We still need to add more sealing altars and strengthen the control over the true silver ring. make it happen."

Rhodes looked at the countless altars under the huge ring, and asked, "Then, is the Silver Pledge's control of forbidden people and forbidden objects just an incidental function?"

Horus nodded slightly.

"This is just the use of the powerful sealing power of the True Silver Ring. For this reason, we have formed a taboo armed force attached to it. This is another path we are trying."

"We use a special method to control monsters. Of course, pure monsters are impossible to control. The only result of contact with them is infection and erosion. We first infect monsters with the breath of the abyss, and then inlaid them with special runes. The flesh and blood of the monster is integrated into the monster's body, and after a series of complicated rituals, its soul is suppressed so that it can be controlled by humans."

Rhodes thought of the strange bird he once rode, and the strange hand that could drag people. These should be the masterpieces of the silver oath taboo arm, and he couldn't help asking:

"Then we succeeded? Is this our sixth path?"

The first five are Spirit Fire, Spark, Black and White Spirit Bearers, Unawakened, these five major sequences.

Horus' face darkened.

"No, we failed."

Rhodes was surprised: "Why?"

Horus said briefly: "Monsters transformed by restraints are too unstable, easily lose control, or become distorted, or are eroded by black mist. Most importantly, we can only transform monsters to strong and low-level monsters at most. It won’t work if you go up, you know, it doesn’t make any sense on the frontal battlefield, and on our main battlefield, there are generally monsters above powerful and high-level.”

"So, it's a complete failure, almost meaningless, and only a few special-purpose monsters are left, and the rest are disposed of."

Horus led Rhodes around the altar, came to the edge of the field, and walked down the sideways rotating stairway.

In a huge cave, Rhodes saw several surviving taboos.

One of them is like a huge walnut covered with tentacles, bound by countless chains, hanging in mid-air.

"This is the Amigo. Its tentacles can drag you into the spirit world and send you to a designated location in the royal city for emergency summons."

The other was crawling at the bottom of the cave, a monster that looked like a big bird, which Rhodes once rode.

"The black swan, a high-speed transporter, is faster than a floating hearse, and can transport hundreds of people at a time."

The other end is wrapped by countless pipes, and no one can see it.

"The great demon wolf Pithil, a king-level monster, but what is here is just a new monster born from a remnant body. It emits heat forever, and half of the hot water supplied in the king's city is boiled by it."

Rhodes glanced at the unlucky heating center curiously, but it was a pity that the complicated and tangled pipes completely obscured its figure, and only the burst of heat could be seen, penetrating the pipes and radiating outward.

Going down with Horus, there is a huge palace.

"This is the headquarters of the Forbidden Armed Forces, responsible for the management and maintenance of Forbidden Objects and Forbidden Ones. If there is anything to be proud of, it is about the use of Forbidden Ones."

"Most of its taboos are fire-holders with soul flaws. Some of them also have taboo characteristics that are not allowed to exist. They are extremely unstable and easy to lose control. The only solution before was to burn to death, but now, they have It gave us a way to survive, and also added new strength to us, but..."

Horus looked at Rhodes seriously.

"You have to pay attention, Mephis, she broke away from the Silver Covenant and Taboo Arms entirely because of your own factors, otherwise I would never let him out of Lionbeck's sight."

Lion Beaker is the leader of the Forbidden Armed Forces, and Rhodes once had conflicts with the people he sent because of Memphis.

Rhodes nodded: "I will, Archbishop. Her power is stronger than I imagined. She didn't seem to exert her true power because of the curse."

Horus said in a deep voice: "Her real combat power is at least not lower than that of a first-level combatant. In order to seal and control her, the Taboo Armed Forces tried their best, but you still destroyed her. She still has some weapons on her back." The murder case is still under investigation by the Internal Affairs Tribunal."

Rhodes had heard about it a long time ago, but Memphis has been unwilling to reveal it all, and his level at the time was not high enough to know about it.

"Archbishop, may I know the details now?"

Horus said briefly: "It seems that because of her out-of-control characteristics, the great pharmacist Shi Po died, and Stone Street was destroyed. At that time, at least [-] children who passed two rounds of tests and were about to complete the trial of fire passed by there. , Almost all of them died, and the few who survived became disabled and deformed people, and the fire priests who escorted them were all severely wounded in their souls, and withdrew from the frontline battlefield."

"This was an extremely serious blow to us back then. We once believed that she was a doomsday believer, but we did not find enough evidence. According to the new regulations issued by the king just now, she had to be acquitted. Many people therefore hated her so much."

"The one who hates her the most should be Moonlight Knight Olivia, because her child is among them."

Rhodes groaned, "Olivia has a child?"

Horus glanced at him.

"Of course, because of her lack of talent, she had to use the blessing of fire when she gave birth to be promoted to a first-level combatant. to join the ranks, but failed to become the Son of Fire."

Rhode's heart sank, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

It was the first time he knew that there was such a function in childbirth. No wonder everyone liked to have children.

The Grand Knight Commander is the Commander, but after all, he is slightly inferior to the Son of Fire, and has no further hope, so he will not open the Seat of Ashes for them, so as not to dilute the fate of mankind.

Among the four great knight commanders, Alan has very high requirements for carrying the Seat of Ashes because of the Starfire Sequence, and his soul strength must reach the level of a king.

At present, the only king-level combat force in Trorian is the king himself.

Most of the combat power of the holy sword knight Vehele comes from his holy sword, and his talent is not enough.

"What about the Sun Knight?" Rhode asked suddenly, "Isn't he very powerful? Why didn't he become the Son of Fire?"

Horus gave him a strange look, wondering why he had suddenly thought of this.

"Kay's power of the sun is too special. Every step of his growth requires a huge amount of sun stones. After becoming a Herrscher, the demand is even greater. We can't afford it. We can only make him a great knight leader. Reduce his growth rate."

Rhodes said regretfully: "This is really a pity... I don't know if I can go to see him, maybe there is a way to cure his soul decline."

Horus shook his head: "It's useless, we have already tried your Goddess Tears, the effect is very weak... well, let's not discuss this, I just wanted to tell you that Mephis is very dangerous, She is the strongest among the taboos, if she is allowed to fully display the power of the three characteristics, her combat power can be compared to that of a special class, if not for this, she would not be able to enter the ranks of the Starry Sky City battle."

Rhodes was surprised and delighted.

"Special? Memphis originally had special combat power?"

Horus said solemnly: "But this is absolutely not allowed. Of her three characteristics, only the first one is allowed... In the Starry Sky City battlefield, if I hadn't lost control, she would have been forced to use the second one." If there is such a characteristic, Wangcheng will give her a severe punishment."

"You have to remember that mind control and soul blackening are absolute taboos."

"Extinguishing fire, black water, black mist, and devouring souls are unforgivable taboos. No matter what price is paid, they must be executed immediately."

Rhodes trembled in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

Horus looked at him sternly.

"Mind control can lead to civil strife in humans, and soul blackening can lead to madness, loss of control, distortion, and monsterization. It is a very dangerous and harmful characteristic."

"Extinguishing fire, black water, black mist, and swallowing souls are all characteristics that will lead to the destruction of human beings and the world will always be in darkness,"

Horus' eyes were extremely sharp, as if he wanted to penetrate Rhode's soul and see through his heart.

Rhodes forced himself to remain calm, and said flatly, "I see."

Horus turned his eyes away and his tone slowed down.

"Rhode, you should know that in the face of life and death, there is no room for slowness."

"Wang is merciful enough. We don't know if his actions are right in such a harsh environment. Facts will prove everything, but the absolute dead line cannot be touched."

Rhodes nodded vigorously, and replied solemnly: "I understand, archbishop, once I find the holder of this characteristic, I will be the first to go up and destroy him, and I will never keep my hands."

Only then did Horus show a little smile, and stopped mentioning this topic.

Afterwards, they met with Lionbeck, the leader of the Forbidden Armed Forces.

This is a rough and gloomy man with a very bad attitude towards Rhodes. He warned Rhodes repeatedly to return Mephis, but Rhodes refused all of them.

joke.

How can a super-strong combat power be given to you?
Memphis yearns for my humanity every day, as long as I feed her enough humanity, maybe one day she will be able to use all three characteristics?

Most importantly, if I feed humanity like this, maybe I can feed her well?

The previous methods were all wrong. Memphis doesn't need those useless resources, what she needs is humanity.

Tens of millions of humanity can definitely feed her.

A "Dream Apostle" with super combat power can make Rhodes laugh out loud.

Therefore, he and Ryan Beak broke up, but Rhodes didn't care at all.

Horus didn't care too much, anyway, if Rhodes became king, Lionbeck would have to listen to his orders.

If Rhodes didn't have this opportunity, then they wouldn't be able to deal with each other.

Soon, they left the silver oath and taboo armed forces buried deep in the ground.

The moment he stepped back to the ground, Rhodes suddenly remembered something and asked, "Archbishop, has the problem of your soul losing control been completely resolved?"

Horus looked calm, and replied in a steady tone: "I stayed in the Soul Church for fifteen days, and after a thorough examination and treatment by dozens of soul masters, all hidden dangers were eliminated, and, in order to prevent it from reappearing, I asked the religious order to give me three soul seals to monitor my soul in all directions."

"In addition, I specifically ordered the Anti-Curse Order to put a death curse on me. Once I find that I am out of control, I will directly trigger it and kill myself."

Rhodes was surprised: "This, is this too much?"

Horus glanced over calmly, and said lightly: "Think about the battle of Starry Sky City, what would happen if Mephis didn't counter-control me? It's nothing but, the situation at that time must never happen again, I must put an end to all dangers, and absolutely do not allow Doomsday Cultists to achieve any purpose through me."

Rhodes remained silent, the archbishop's words could no longer be correct, and his awareness was far higher than he imagined.

The trace of doubt in his heart also dissipated.

But the truth is also hidden in a deeper fog.

who can that be?

This is a very difficult question.

It's a pity that I can't directly find the ancient evil thought Amon through [Sense of God].

Rhodes thought regretfully.

But no matter what, I'll find you.

I hope Asa can help, even if it is just to get some clues.

-

After leaving the Silver Oath, Horus flew him straight out of Uptown.

Rhode's air stepping skills are not very proficient, and his speed is far behind Horus, so Horus has always let Horus take him.

After a while, they came to the westernmost location of the inner city.

This is an area full of steel and flames, and the sound of clanging can be heard endlessly.

"This is the home area of ​​Seamans Factory."

Horus said.

"The master of soul forging, Leilu, is at the foundry behind. We are going to pay a visit to him now, hoping that he can create a powerful enough soul weapon for you."
