the last king of darkness

Chapter 555 The Battle of the Abyss

The original Ash Lake area has now become a boundless dark void.

Annabelle shuddered: "It's terrifying, it's like the gates of hell."

Kashan clenched her fists: "No matter what the door is, I will break it."

A team of more than 200 people can't even count as ants in front of this huge darkness.

But the momentum of the crowd remained undiminished, and Rovia said loudly: "Everyone, let us smash this abyss-like darkness and start a new era!"

Geraba said in a deep voice: "The last time I checked the equipment, there should be no problems with the protection. The visibility of the abyss is very low. After going down, we must keep in touch. Don't move to the center rashly. I don't know where the ancient dragon king who fell into the abyss is."

"Remember, our main task is not to kill monsters, but to explore the secrets of the abyss and find the nodes of the abyss."

"set off!"

Geraba picked up the sledgehammer, and the guard knights behind him picked up the sledgehammer in unison with the same movement, taking the lead to cross the boundary and step into the abyss.

Everyone filed in and fell into the deep darkness one after another.

Rovia slowed down a bit, and before stepping into the abyss, he made a special trip to remind Rhodes.

"Your battle group is the only one without the mark of fire, you must keep an eye on them."

Rhodes nodded cautiously, followed behind Rovia, and stepped into the abyss.

The darkness immediately flooded his eyes, his figure fell downwards, and the line of sight of the eye of the soul quickly shortened, but it was still about a hundred yards away.

He looked back, as if he had fallen into a gigantic well, the crowd was constantly jumping in from the mouth of the well, Annabe, Cassan and Mephis were behind him.

"Kassan!" he yelled.

For some reason, Kashan, who was terrified by the environment, suddenly settled down.

"Rod!" she shouted back, tears welling up in her eyes.

"The white skirt you're wearing!" Rod yelled, "It doesn't fit the red underwear!"

The sound spread far and wide in the vast abyss. If it wasn't for the thick darkness that obscured the sight, Kashan would have punched herself to death.

boom!
Red anger exploded wildly, and the thick blood-like smoke surrounded her like a storm.

This is the thickest anger Rhodes has ever seen.

"Kashan, your Seed of Wrath has become stronger again." He praised.

Annabelle glanced at Kashan, whose face was almost distorted, and whispered, "Rhode, I think you should pay attention to your safety."

Rhodes replied with the same small voice: "She must learn to control the power of anger, be calm in anger, and be angry in calm, so that she can truly control the fire of anger."

This is the standard answer given by [Sense of God].

He told Kassan early on, but she always got lost in the rage.

I hope she realizes it sooner.

Rhodes thought slightly regretfully.

This is one of the only three complete names engraved on the dream tombstone.

Hey, if only I could develop more "Apostles of Dreams".

In the tedious thoughts, Rhodes quickly fell to the bottom, and the darkness immediately engulfed him, but he stopped before the lightless darkness emanating from his body. resist.

But even under the double protection, Rhode's soul eyes still saw a few black threads as thin as gossamer, they broke through the protection, and submerged into Rhode's soul in an imperceptible way.

Humanity is slowly diminishing, but far from reaching its limit.

"Pollution is minimal."

Rhodes thought.

"As long as you don't stay for a long time, it doesn't matter. Alan is really experienced, and he has already set a 6-hour combat time before departure."

Looking around, there is a barren surface under the darkness, only some scattered ashes show that this place used to be the Ash Lake area.

"What's going on here? The surface has changed? Asa, do you know what's going on?"

Without the Book of Knowledge, Rhodes could only temporarily regard Asa as an encyclopedia.

Asa obviously did not give up this opportunity to get closer to the owner:

"Master, this is the characteristic of the abyss. The abyss can swallow everything and transform everything into an abyss."

"It is said that [Abyss] is one of the [-] Laws of Origin. All monsters of the abyss, cracks in the abyss, derivatives of the abyss, and even the real abyss are the products of its shattering."

Rhodes frowned. The Law of Origin is the foundation of the Three Realms, and everything cannot be separated from its scope.

The source law, the strong source, or the fundamental source are all products of its fragmentation.

If [Abyss] itself is the law of origin, doesn't that mean that it is a reasonable existence at the beginning of creation?
Rhodes didn't continue to think about it, the first thing he had to do now was to kill the abyss monsters as much as possible, and then try to see if it was possible to destroy the abyss.

The square of stars shows that the divinity of this operation is very uncertain, it may be very little, it may be very much.

Rhodes is very clear about the reason, this is a rare opportunity, he must grasp it.

The field of vision under the abyss is very narrow, and all the teams fight in the form of battle groups. Due to the dim light and narrow vision, they have to communicate frequently. In order to avoid getting lost, most of the battle groups can only huddle together and move.

The Black Battlegroup had to do the same. Fortunately, Rhodes' comrades in arms were three girls, and they didn't feel crowded together.

Only Kashan was not very happy, and kept complaining that Rhodes was too fat and hard, and kept trying to get out, but she was only a reserve member of the Fire Palace, and she didn't have an official Fire Mark yet, so it would be very troublesome if she got lost.

"Don't move, I'll send you back if you run around again!" Rhodes shouted.

Kashan pursed her mouth, and the anger on her body grew stronger.

Rhodes inexplicably felt a sense of crisis and quickened his pace.

"Owner!"

After walking for a while, Asa said suddenly.

"This may be a fragment of the derivative of the outer layer of the abyss."

Rhodes frowned: "What do you mean? Isn't this the abyss?"

Asa explained: "The abyss is a very vast and almost infinite plane. It has various areas. After the abyss devours the material world, it will form a transitional derivative, covering the outer layer of the abyss. When it is completely digested, it will enter the inner layer of the abyss."

"Here is a shard of the outer derivative. It was ejected by the active abyss and swallowed the Ash Lake area. Now, it is sinking again. Once the potential drops to the lowest point, it will be able to link with the abyss itself and return to the abyss. In the abyss."

"At that time, everything will be over."

There was no anxiety or worry in Asa's words, but a hint of schadenfreude.

Rhodes didn't care, as long as he figured out his current position, there would be no problem.

"I know, I will destroy it before it sinks back into the abyss!"

Asa laughed and said, "Of course, Master never misses."

After walking for a while, Rhodes encountered the first monster in the abyss.

A son of a demon that was infected by the abyss, its crooked body was burning with black flames, and twelve pairs of red eyes stared at him firmly.

"careful!"

Rhodes and the Son of Demon saw each other almost at the same time.

The red light in the eyes of the son of the evil spirit flourished, he took a step back, and disappeared into the darkness.

But in the next moment, a dry hand protruded from the darkness and directly pinched Rhodes' heart.

"what……"

Rhodes couldn't believe it, the sharp pain in his heart made him realize that in this short moment, he was killed.

At the moment before he died, he set the resurrection point of the resurrection stone in its original place, and at the same time squeezed the arm of the demon son with all his strength.

"attack……"

Before finishing a word, Rhodes saw a red storm erupt, and Kashan with red eyes erupted with anger hundreds of times larger than her, wrapping around her right hand like a tornado.

"die!"

boom!
The heavy punch directly penetrated the body of the demon son, and twelve pairs of red eyes were instantly extinguished.

Rhodes held on to the severe pain of his heart bursting, and made up for it.

【The soul of the abyss demon】

Then his eyes darkened and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was still in the same place, surrounded by Annabelle and Memphis.

Rhodes propped up his body and asked anxiously, "Where is Kashan? That fist is too strong, she can't bear it."

"it's here."

Annabe choked for a moment, still not getting out of the horror, and pointed to the side of the centaur armor.

"She used too much force, her soul was torn apart, and she passed out."

Rhode rushed up and saw Kashan lying in the long pocket on the side, her eyes closed, her expression calm, her soul suffered some damage, but it has been dealt with, and there is no serious problem.

"Great."

Rhodes let out a long sigh of relief.

"Who handled it?"

Annabelle replied hoarsely: "Mephis, she seems to be able to manipulate the soul... If she hadn't told me that you can be resurrected, I would have thought you were really dead, and the way your body gradually became transparent really scared me .”

Rhodes calmed down and apologized: "Sorry, it's my fault, I didn't have time to explain the situation."

He turned his head and looked at Memphis questioningly.

Mephis replied softly: "The ice can temporarily freeze her soul, and then use psionic energy to form a scalpel and needle thread to deal with the split of the soul. This is just a very small soul operation."

Rhodes was completely relieved.

"Okay, okay, that's good."

Annabe asked with lingering fear: "Why is this son of the demon so fast? I've never seen it before."

Rhodes replied in a deep voice: "Annabelle, this is the true face of the monsters eroded by the abyss. The abyss is their home field. We must be careful."

This was said to Annabe, and it was also said to herself.

He was a little careless just now, wasting a resurrection stone for nothing.

The son of the demon in the abyss is far more difficult than expected. It seems that it can use the darkness to launch a surprise attack.

After making another resurrection stone and designating the resurrection site as the foot, they moved on.

Soon, he ran into a blasphemous warrior who had been eroded by the abyss.

This is not a native monster of the abyss. The huge body that has been eroded and changed is covered with twisted darkness. The hole in the center has become a dark hole, constantly absorbing the dark matter in the abyss.

This battle was fought very hard. The psychic power of the blasphemous warrior in the abyss was infinitely close to the fourteenth level, with rough skin and thick flesh. Rhodes had to use [Truth] continuously to kill it.

【The soul of the blasphemous warrior corroded by the abyss】

Rhodes let out a sigh of relief. After losing the attack point of Kashan, the team's destructive power has been reduced a lot.

It can't go on like this.

Rhodes thought for a while and said, "Mephis, you come to fight too."

Mephis nodded lightly, there was no surprise in his silver eyes.

This decision saved Rhodes. In the subsequent battles, they were always able to kill monsters quickly, although in a few cases, Rhodes did not obtain the souls of monsters because the "Dark Devourer" did not achieve enough erosion. But it doesn't matter.

In the subsequent series of battles, Mephis shined brilliantly. She would always fight with round or long-shaped ice, and would always attack when monsters were paralyzed. Even during battles, she continued to Freezes her enemies.

Rhodes changed his combat state, made himself a pair of armor with star lines, and swung his fists to fight the monster close to hand.

The shining fist covered with star lines is very powerful under the blessing of [God Strike], even surpassing when using a sword before.

The power of hand-to-hand combat is far stronger than imagined, as long as he concentrates, he will not be attacked by monsters.

After fighting all the way, Rhodes had the impression that all the monsters of the abyss were trying their best to kill him regardless.

As long as you see him for a moment, you will definitely use the most powerful attack.

This made Rhodes have a very bad feeling:
"Asa, what's going on here? Is it related to Amon?"

Asa looked dignified:

"Yes, Master guessed right."

"This is really a trap aimed at you. Asa's disturbance activated this area, causing the abyss to float to the material world. As long as you enter the abyss, he has plenty of ways to assassinate you."

Rhode's heart sank suddenly.

"He can disturb the abyss?"

Asa replied: "It is not difficult to disturb the abyss. The abyss is like a crater. Amon just chose the right location."

"As for the abyss monster's hatred for you... I guess it might be one of his evil thoughts."
