the last king of darkness

Chapter 524 Highlighting the Battle of Destiny

Rhode was startled, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Who is it? How do you know?"

This is different from what he thought. He originally thought that he would have to wait at least until after the war to catch the traitor's tail.

Lucian said softly, "Olivia..."

puff!
Rhodes looked at him in shock, almost thinking he had heard wrong.

There was no joking expression on Lucian's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Rhodes, I know this sounds incredible and unbelievable, but what we are facing is an extremely cunning and evil guy, there is nothing wrong with it." If possible, we should break the conventional thinking, break through the rules and regulations, and abandon the stereotyped thinking. In the war with him, nothing is impossible."

Rhodes frowned and said, "President Judgment, what you said has some truth, but if we have no scruples at all and wantonly doubt everyone, wouldn't that be the most popular sight for Doomsday believers?"

Lucien said solemnly: "I understand very well, but please think carefully, during the battle of Starry Sky City, the archbishop who was the least likely to betray betrayed at a critical moment, if it wasn't for the mind control of Mephis the Unknown Cognition, what do you think the consequences are?"

Rhode's face darkened. At that time, Horus was responsible for using the Stone of Silence to suppress and eliminate the disturbance of the battle. After being controlled, he not only stopped suppressing the disturbance, but also reversed the Stone of Silence.

Starry Sky City at that time was full of horrible disasters, if Mephis hadn't stopped him, then they would almost certainly be wiped out.

The timing was chosen so delicately that it couldn't have been by chance.

It is a well-planned conspiracy, and its planner, nine out of ten, is the ancient evil Amon known as "the evil spirit of the source".

Lucien continued: "The reason why the archbishop was recruited has not been fully identified so far. We cannot rule out that he repeats his tricks. Among all the people, the one who has the greatest possibility of destroying the entire team is Olivia. This is Suspicion as I said."

Rhodes looked solemn, and Lucian's words made some sense. Although there was no evidence to support it, in this kind of struggle, it was impossible to win with conventional thinking, and we had to take precautions.

"I know, I will be careful."

Lucien said solemnly: "Your Excellency Rhodes, please tell Mephis about this matter, and I need her help if necessary."

Rhodes glanced at him: "Don't you doubt Memphis?"

If there is one person here who looks particularly like a doomsday cultist, it must be Mephis who wears a hood all day long and hides in the shadows without saying a word.

In fact, many judges doubted her, so she became a key target.

Lucien said frankly: "Mephis the Ominous, the taboo of the Silver Oath, the protagonist of the Prophecy of Destruction, the suspect of the Stone Street Church case, no matter from which point of view, she is the most suspicious, but because of this, I think she must be Not a doomsday cultist."

"why?"

"Her soul is too special. It has three soul characteristics and is extremely unstable. Ancient evil thoughts will never form such a soul. Its mortality rate is too high, and once the fire of the soul is lit, it will attract the attention of everyone, which is not conducive to hiding. Act in stealth."

Lucien's eyes swept over the edge of the line, and a non-existent person in a suit was silently following.

"More importantly, she has been bound by the silver oath for many years, and her soul has been engraved with dangerous curses many times. How many times, her soul is on the verge of dissipating danger. Evil thoughts, absolutely will not do that.”

"so."

Lucian concluded.

"I trust her as much as I trust you."

At this moment, Rhodes was really surprised.

He didn't have much communication with Lucien. In his impression, Lucian, the chief adjudicator of the Internal Affairs Tribunal, was a rigid, stubborn old man who wouldn't listen to anyone's opinions except the king.

I didn't expect him to be so smart, he didn't look like a mentally handicapped person without a brain at all.

"That's great, Your Excellency Lucian."

Rhodes said with a smile.

"I'm glad you think so. I tried to explain to everyone that Mephis is not a Doomsday cultist, but very few people listened."

Lucien said calmly: "Hatred blinded their eyes, most people only want to believe what they believe, Memphis has caused too many murders in the royal city, Stone Street is not all, I also don't like it She, thinks her end should be burnt to ashes in the fire, but as chief judge, I cannot be swayed by hatred."

Rhodes was very happy and felt that Lucian should be a reliable teammate.

"Very well, you continue to observe and report any suspicious situations to me."

Lucien bowed slightly, not caring that he was much older than Rhodes.

The strong and the genius are always more respectable than their age.

-

After walking along the ruined street for a while, the team came to a collapsed circular building.

Olivia told them that this was the stronghold that was taken down during the last operation, and it doesn't seem to be breeding monsters now, so it should be safe.

Therefore, the team temporarily stationed here.

Non-combatants began to rebuild the garrison. Firelight was necessary, and the placement of the lanterns was extremely particular. It was necessary to expand the scope of the firelight as much as possible without allowing gaps to be exposed to allow the black mist to take advantage of it.

There are still many psychic instruments that need to be deployed and some psychic tools need to be adjusted. The scholars are exploring the ancient city of Sagus with great enthusiasm this time.

There are countless secrets in this second-era god city.

Compared with the similar third era, people know too little about the second era, and the study of this god city can just make up for their gaps.

And except for those left behind, all the fighters went out to fight.

Olivia divided them into several groups, each responsible for cleaning in one direction.

Rhodes was naturally pulled in by Olivia without any accident, but his behavior of forcing Memphis to follow annoyed the Moonlight Knight, so they were all kicked out, and Olivia was the only super combat power. , fighting alone.

Rhodes and Memphis fought together.

Most of the monsters wandering in this ancient city are fallen angels, envoys who have been eroded by the black mist, lost their minds and gone mad.

They were human beings in their lifetime, responsible for serving the guardian deities of Sagus City.

Just looking at the remaining statues in the city, Rhodes knew that these two gods were Heragatos, the god of rebirth, and Arno Sadag, the ancient god of fate.

These are two old acquaintances. Rhodes already knew their fate, but he was just curious about what kind of existence their God City was.

As for their envoys, Rhodes didn't feel too much pressure. The power of the fallen envoys was uneven. Even if there were a few strong ones, it was not his own strength. Most of them were ordinary.

The strength of the Fallen Angel ranges from level one to level five. If it is an angel of the ancient god who is reborn with flesh and blood, it usually has the ability of rapid regeneration and extremely deep spiritual power, making it extremely difficult to kill.

If it is the envoy of the ancient god of destiny, it will have keen perception and a certain amount of foresight ability, it is almost impossible to be ambushed, and it will always ambush the enemy, which is very difficult to deal with.

In addition, there are some black mist symbiotes here.

Rhodes discovered that there are almost always black mist symbionts in places where the black mist is thick.

They are unified in the most primitive form - a huge black shadow, constantly changing shape, fast attack, deep spiritual energy, and powerful pollution.

However, for Rhodes, they are not particularly difficult to deal with.

The big star shuttle under the twelfth level of psionic ability is extremely powerful and can deal effective blows against all monsters.

After initially breaking through the monsters' outer defenses, what greeted them was the Divine Strike of [Truth].

27 times the explosive power, except for the monsters above the fourth gear, they all fell to the ground with one blow.

Psychic energy was pierced, and a hole appeared in the soul.

What is left is Rhodes' soul crit known as the "Right Hand of God". As long as it is taken in, the monster will surely be destroyed.

No matter what kind of regeneration, it has no effect.

As for the envoy of the Ancient God of Fate, they were completely exposed to Rhodes' "Eye of Soul", and any hiding and ambush would be ineffective.

The only trouble is that they have a strong ability to dodge, and they can always avoid the big star shuttles that come from the lasing, and sometimes they can even avoid the "God Strike".

Fortunately, Memphis was there.

Her ice characteristic is the most incredible ability Rhodes has ever seen. As long as she is targeted, no monster can save it, and the ice will continuously freeze its body, seal its soul, and slow down its movements. Reactions slow down.

No matter what kind of monster it is, if it continues to freeze for more than ten seconds, it will be affected.

And the envoy of the ancient god of fate is especially afraid of ice, Memphis can always quickly freeze it into a popsicle, and then Rhodes easily kills it.

Not only that, Rhodes has now developed a new usage of Mephis. Her second characteristic, mind control, also has a certain effect on monsters. Although it cannot completely control monsters, it can also make them stop for a while.

This discovery made Rhodes overjoyed. In a fierce battle, even a pause of half a second is fatal.

Rhodes always let Mephis use mind control to disturb the monsters at critical moments, and then with a "God Strike" and a "Soul Crit", those extremely difficult monsters would crash to the ground and turn into flying dust.

"You really are my best partner."

Rhodes gave his perfect evaluation without hesitation, pressed Memphis's eyebrows with his fingertips, and passed another 2 sex to her to stabilize her soul.

Memphis closed her eyes with a calm and indifferent expression. After she was full of humanity, she opened her eyes, and the snow and wind mixed in her silver-white eyes, revealing a slight chill.

"I am completely breaking free from the shackles of the soul curse."

She spoke softly, her tone casual and calm.

"The blessing of Star Priest, the lord of Starry Sky City, gave me this opportunity, and my soul and characteristics began to grow again. This is expressly forbidden by Wangcheng,"

Rhodes showed a look of ecstasy.

For a long time, his help to Memphis has had no effect at all, so Memphis has never been stained by him and has become "his person".

It wasn't until she began to ask Rhodes for humanity again that Rhodes saw a little hope.

"Very well, grow up quickly, and just tell me anytime you need humanity."

Mephis looked at Rhodes, with an unspeakable look in his silver eyes.

"Why are you helping me so much?"

Rhodes said with a smile: "You are a member of the Black Battlegroup, my teammate and partner, if I don't help you, who will help you?"

Memphis lowered his head, his long silver hair was blown by the breeze, making him extremely conspicuous in the dark night.

"Thank you." She said softly, "I hope you won't regret it."

Rhodes said seriously: "You are not the Son of Destruction, don't believe that broken prophecy, maybe it was spread by Amon to frame you, he foresaw that you are actually Trorian's great savior, so he used this despicable Way to strangle you in the cradle."

A cold light flashed in Mephis' eyes, and he said in a very soft voice, "I will help you find him."

Rhodes smiled and said: "That's right, of course, if you are willing to sleep with me for a few nights, I don't mind..."

Before she finished speaking, Mephis turned around and left. The gray hood covered her silver hair and concealed her appearance.

In just an instant, a magnificent ice goddess turned into an inconspicuous person.

Rhodes didn't care either, and followed her back to the station.

The garrison looked gloomy, and the progress of the soldiers' cleanup was not satisfactory. If this continued, they could only change their plan and return to the royal city with the remnants of the ancient god of destiny.

As for cleaning and exploration, we can only wait until the next exploration.

But what is more troublesome is that the White Tower has long discovered the change of the black mist in this area. The special route they came from is likely to be interrupted, and the thicker black mist will cut off their lifeline.

Therefore, their time is only reserved for ten days.

Ten days later, the route was interrupted, and they were likely to be left in the darkness forever.

Therefore, the task of the ancient city of Sagus must be completed within ten days.

And now it was the third day, and they were still fighting on the outermost layer of the city of God, without entering the inner layer.

Scholars are more anxious than soldiers, like ants on a hot pan.

If the cleanup is too slow, their research will be impossible to complete, and they have been preparing for this day for a long, long time.
