the last king of darkness

Chapter 530 Sacrifice
This is an unexpected candidate. The chief judge of the Internal Affairs Tribunal responsible for arresting doomsday cultists and cleaning up human traitors is actually a doomsday cultist.

Rhodes immediately raised his spiritual energy and entered a combat state.

But to his surprise, Lucian stayed there, motionless, as if he didn't realize that his true face had been exposed, and he didn't even mention his spiritual power, and entered a fighting state.

"This, is this me?" He questioned his soul, looking blankly at Rhodes and the judges who surrounded him.

Rhodes frowned, it's not like pretending to be stupid, it's meaningless.

It is related to the source of doomsday believers, as long as there is suspicion, it will be subject to the strictest scrutiny.

"Of course it's you."

Rhodes answered briefly.

His eyes were fixed on him, but there was no spiritual energy in his soul, and he didn't seem to have any intention of resisting.

Lucian was silent for a moment, his eyes gradually changed from confusion to clarity, and he said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency Rhodes, the following description is my personal feeling, please judge carefully, I don't remember this incident at all, in my memory, I followed the team all the way, fought with them, and monitored all suspicious phenomena until returning to camp."

Rhodes nodded, he also thought of this.

Back then Archbishop Horus was hit, and with his identity, he unknowingly caused a lot of damage. It wasn't until the Battle of Starry Sky City that his soul realized that he had been invaded. He tried his best to resist, and with the help of Memphis, He won the next victory and regained the dominance of his body.

The current situation of Lucian is exactly the same as that of the archbishop back then.

It's just that Rhodes didn't suspect Horus at that time, otherwise he would have used the Book of the Past to look back at the scene and would have known everything.

But since the odds are high, our guard cannot be let down.

Rhodes said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Lucian, you will be strictly controlled until the battle is over."

Lucian has already stretched out his hands, urging: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and tie me up! What about your professional qualities? You have forgotten all the standard procedures during training?"

Only then did the adjudicators stepped forward, locked Lucian's hands and feet with psychic handcuffs, suppressed his psychic power with a psychic seal, and tied the soul chains.

In this case, even the Son of Fire couldn't break free.

Lucian, who is a first-level combatant, is absolutely impossible.

"very good."

Lucian praised.

"Well done lads, remember, Doomsday cultists will always be our enemy, whether he is your father, mother, wife, husband, child or deeper relationship, once the true colors are revealed, it should be dealt with like this .”

He turned his head and said to Rhodes: "Your Excellency Rhodes, the task of monitoring is entrusted to you."

Rhodes nodded slightly.

"Please rest assured, after the battle is over, I will immediately send you back to the Royal City, and the Soul Church will purify your soul."

Lucian's face became serious.

"Your Excellency Rhodes, please be extremely careful. As I said before, Amon, who is known as the evil spirit of the source, probably has some kind of parasitic ability similar to evil spirits. My soul should have been planted with evil seeds." , It can manipulate me without knowing it, this is a very dangerous ability, a great threat to Trorian, but we have not yet mastered the way to protect it."

He paused, then continued.

"If Wangcheng can control a complete specimen, we can study a way to deal with it. Unfortunately, Horus's has been burned in the confrontation, and I am a perfect specimen."

Rhodes frowned, he already guessed what Lucian was going to say.

Sure enough, he only heard his voice speak calmly.

"Please freeze me, so that my state can be guaranteed as much as possible. The soul masters of the Soul Church will not let us down."

Rhode hesitated: "Is this okay? Will it endanger life?"

Lucian showed a faint smile:

"We have already done very in-depth research on Mephis' ability... She can become your warrior because of the king's order, young man, I can only say, use her well."

Rhodes smelled something unusual from Lucien's words. Mephis seemed to be more special than he imagined, and it seemed that he could ask her for a while.

Afterwards, they returned to the station quickly. Lucien's capture was beyond everyone's expectations, but after learning about the insidious ability of the ancient evil thoughts, everyone took a breath and respected this venerable judge even more. total length.

Mephis was called by Rhodes, and she asked a question before freezing.

"This may be damaging to your soul. I can't guarantee your safety. Are you sure?"

Lucien replied briefly: "I'm sure, even if my life is exhausted, I will never let the doomsday cultists run away."

Mephis didn't speak any more, his right hand was facing him, the cold air spread down from his fingertips, and the white mist surrounded his whole body with a radius of one hundred yards, turning into a frosty world in an instant.

Lucien had no spiritual protection, and his body quickly frosted and was covered in snow and ice.

After only ten seconds, Memphis put down his hand.

"Okay, this is the state before it is completely frozen. If he goes any further, his soul will die."

Rhodes watched as the judges hurriedly carried his snow-covered body into the coffin. It was a coffin with powerful sealing power, which could maintain his life as much as possible and ensure that the ice seal could be maintained until he was sent back to the king city.

He suddenly asked: "Mephis, your ice can freeze even your soul?"

Memphis glanced at him: "Yes, don't you know?"

Rhodes nodded.

Not only that, he also knows that cutting open the soul frozen by Mephis' ice is currently the only way to determine the ancient evil.

"It appears to be more than just plain frost."

Memphis looked at him with silvery eyes, as if frost was gathering inside.

"Yes, that's not ordinary frost, it's some kind of more essential power, 'ice' is just the name given to it by humans."

Rhodes trembled in his heart, and asked: "If there are no taboos, and you can use all the characteristics, how strong will your combat power be?"

Memphis shook his head lightly: "This is impossible."

"why?"

"curse."

Rhodes frowned: "The curse? Isn't it almost lifted?"

"No, it's just a part of it. It comes from my soul, and it can never be really lifted unless..."

Rhodes hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

"Unless I can obtain extraordinary power...Do you remember the blessing of the Star Priest, the Lord of the Starry Sky City?"

"Remember." Rhodes nodded, that blessing strengthened everyone present, and all the fighters who returned from Starry Sky City had made great progress in strength.

And he himself directly obtained 200 million soul strength and complete level [-] psionic power, eliminating the cumbersome psionic power upgrade ceremony.

"I didn't actually get the blessing, it bypassed me," Memphis said.

Rhodes trembled in his heart and asked, "Why?"

"Maybe it's because I'm an unknown person."

Rhodes frowned, only listening to her continue.

"But I intercepted a portion of the power that was originally given to you. That is the core of the blessing of the priest of the main star, and it is also what I call the extraordinary power."

Memphis looked calm, as if he was talking about a very plain and boring thing.

"I have thus broken the boundaries of the curse... In fact, I have lost control."

Rhode was startled: "You... lost control?"

He never expected that such a thing existed, and every word Mephis said shocked his heart.

Memphis nodded slightly, a strand of long silver hair fell from the edge of the hood, dangling in front of her eyes like bangs.

"Yes, my soul curse is completely out of my control, I need more humanity..."

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it's human nature, no problem, just suck as much as you want!"

Mephis's silvery eyes looked like a silver moon exuding cold air.

"I need a lot, much more than ever..."

Rhodes glanced at his 2000 million-odd human nature, deliberately smirked and said, "Then there will be a price to pay."

Memphis glanced at him, with a complex look in his silver eyes.

But Rhodes just stretched out his hand, patted her on the shoulder, and sent out her humanity.

Memphis absorbs human nature only with simple physical contact, any part is fine, even through clothes.

Soon, a steady stream of humanity was sent into her soul from Rhodes' palm.

Rhodes' humanity once again dropped crazily at an explosive speed.

This time, more than 30 people were lost in one breath before Mephis was fed.

"Thank you," she said softly.

Rhodes waved his hand: "A little thing, are you strong again?"

Memphis replied, "I need to digest."

Rhodes showed a little smile: "Very good, as long as you need humanity, no matter how much, just tell me, understand?"

Memphis nodded slightly.

A stone fell to the ground in Rhodes' heart, and he said with a smile, "You were so cool when you killed the dragon."

Mephis said lightly: "That dragon, its resistance to ice is incredible, I can't freeze it, I can only hit it with physical frost."

Rhodes flicked her forehead, and said seriously: "In the future, tell me about this kind of thing in advance, I don't even know about it, and I will let you freeze it."

A complex expression appeared in Mephis' silver eyes, but she didn't speak, but returned to her position and entered into meditation silently.

The station quickly got back on track, with Lucian missing, but Rhodes took over his duties temporarily.

Rhodes is quite familiar with the procedures of the Internal Affairs Tribunal. Under his command, there was no mistake in the internal affairs.

Even found a real doomsday believer.

He is a scholar who presides over the work of studying history. Due to his excellent performance, he has this rare opportunity.

He hid in the team and managed to sneak into the city of Sagus, but unfortunately, he was caught out before he had time to implement any plan.

It's a pity that this seems to be a doomsday cultist on another line, completely unaware of Amon's existence.

Rhodes could only let Mephis freeze him completely, and then use the psychic scalpel to cut open his soul.

It is a pity that it is not an ancient evil thought, but an ordinary human corpse.

After another hour, Moonlight Knight Olivia finally returned to the camp.

Rhodes immediately greeted the strongest player in the team, and described the incident in detail.

Olivia's face also became gloomy.

Amon's ability is so hard to guard against, she alone may have the chance to be recruited.

"Rhode, His Excellency Lucian has been frozen, and you will take his place. What are you going to do?"

Rhodes replied briefly: "It is absolutely forbidden to travel alone, and every returning soldier will be reviewed to confirm their whereabouts with each other."

"Mephis as a last resort."

Olivia's face became even more gloomy: "How are you sure she wasn't parasitized?"

"Mephis cannot be parasitized. Her soul is very special, and she has the ability to control the mind, so she will not be affected by Amon."

These words convinced Olivia, even though her face was very ugly, she still agreed.

"Okay, do as you say."

Olivia's dark blue eyes swept across Memphis's tent, and she couldn't help showing hatred in her eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.

"Let's talk about something good. Our road to the Twin God Towers has basically been cleared. If we want, we can start immediately."

Rhodes hurriedly said: "Master Olivia, we still have two areas to clean up."

Olivia nodded: "I know, I will do it myself."

She paused, then continued.

"Because things tend to get out of control, I think the main task should be completed immediately and return to the royal city."

Although Rhodes felt a little regretful, he also vaguely felt a trace of uneasiness.

To be on the safe side, he agreed to Olivia's suggestion.

After that, they worked out some measures to prevent similar things from happening again.

Afterwards, Olivia took Rhodes and others to clean up the other two areas without much effort.

Rhodes was stunned.

The intensity of Olivia under the moon phase far exceeded his previous impression.
