the last king of darkness

Chapter 589 I am number 0 (second update)
The thick black mist rolled slowly around his body, and the defense line built by three red tearstones could not stop the erosion of the black mist.

At least five pieces are needed for Rhodes to ensure that his humanity will not decline.

And it must be changed every half an hour, otherwise the red tearstone will be corroded and the protective effect will be greatly reduced.

Liszt sighed: "As expected of Your Excellency No. 0, the acuity of the soul is so strong that we can't accurately determine the number and time of the red tearstones, and we don't know if they are polluted."

No. 7 said: "Yes, another main reason for us to return to Wangcheng is because the soul has accumulated too much pollution unknowingly, so we have to go to the soul church to purify."

Rhodes looked around. Under such a thick black fog, the eyesight of the soul was compressed to about 600 yards.

This is also the result of his soul strength being greatly enhanced.

If it was before, the line of sight would definitely be below 100 yards.

Looking around, all around is a barren surface covered with gravel, which is the most common terrain under the black mist.

Any terrain other than wasteland means that there is some kind of special situation here.

A short distance ahead was a barren hill, about a thousand yards high.

There is nothing on the barren hill except huge stones.

"Lee... Number 1, is that where you found the flag?"

Liszt glanced at the astrolabe in his hand. The star map on it showed that the barren mountain was in front of him. He asked in surprise, "Your Excellency No. 0, can you see it?"

"can see."

Liszt exclaimed: "As expected of the legendary absolute visionary, my spiritual vision is rarely touched by others, but it is still far inferior to yours."

No. 9 shook his head and said, "No, I'm also a person with absolute vision, but I can't see barren mountains. Your Excellency No. 0's vision has definitely exceeded the upper limit of the measurement. Wangcheng's vision test needs to be reformed."

Soon, the team returned to the location where the flag was found, among the large rocks.

Of course, the flag has been taken away, but in less than two days, there is no trace of someone moving on the ground.

Liszt said: "Under the shroud of black mist, the passage of time is very difficult to judge. Many items are only lost in the black mist for a day or two, and when they are found again, they seem to have been stored for thousands of years. Professional researchers can only make very rough judgments."

No. 7 said: "If you want to judge the age of an item, you must have an extremely rich grasp of historical knowledge."

Rhodes looked around, and suddenly found a touch of blue in this world dominated by gray and black.

"I saw something in there."

Before the words fell, Liszt and the senior investigators almost jumped up.

"What? Quick, hurry over!"

Rhodes led them over, and found that it was a long and thin piece of cloth with white patterns on a blue background, and a weird semicircle in the center, like a ring with a hook.

"That's the flag we saw."

Liszt said excitedly:
"I didn't expect to find another one. As expected of you, Your Excellency No. 0, you are simply born to explore the dark world."

No. 19 said eagerly: "Let's look for it again, maybe there are still around here."

Sure enough, Rhodes found several more flags next.

They are unevenly distributed at the foot of the barren hills, but only in the southwest direction.

Liszt said excitedly: "This may be an exploration team from an unknown human civilization. They must have come from this direction. As long as we cross the isolation zone, we can find a new human civilization. They must still be alive. We are definitely not dark." The only survivor in the world! Never!"

Rhodes was also excited. He just showed the flag to the Book of Knowledge.

The Book of Knowledge stated that it did not have this symbol in its memory.

This increases the possibility of the existence of new human kingdoms.

"Perhaps, this time we can really find the Fire King City outside of us." Rhodes thought to himself.

The team set off again, and soon came to the "isolation zone".

Liszt and the three senior investigators all wore a red eyepiece.

"This is the latest creation of the Mechanical Engineering Research Institute. It can capture the slightest spiritual energy fluctuations, detect the monster's soul activity, and distinguish its soul strength and the distance perceived by the soul at the fastest speed."

Liszt introduced.

"Its biggest feature is that the sharper the monster's perception, the earlier we can spot it. Most monsters don't have the instinct to hide their aura and spiritual energy, so, in most cases, we can always see the monster earlier. "

No. 19 said: "We rely on it to avoid most dangers, plan a relatively safe route, and discover the isolation zone, instead of being wiped out by those monsters."

No. 7 shook his beard and said apologetically, "Unfortunately, it's not mass-produced. We only have four dollars."

No. 9 smiled and said, "Your Excellency No. 0 is an absolute clairvoyant, so you don't need this thing."

Liszt rang the bell of silence, and the breath of silence immediately enveloped the area, isolating their voices, body temperature, breath of life, and the slight disturbance of the black mist by the red tearstone.

Rhodes looked over and saw that the so-called "isolation zone" was actually a mountain range, and the mountain range was covered with sharp stones, like sword edges, inserted upside down into the ground.

The mountains are not high, but they are huge.

Liszt took out the astrolabe and said, "According to our initial reconnaissance, this route should be taken in the front of the Jianfeng Mountains."

"On this route, there are several powerful monsters that will pose a fatal threat to us, and they must be killed."

Rhodes nodded and moved his shoulders: "Leave it to me."

The speed of the team slowed down here, and the four high-ranking investigators spread out and walked forward cautiously.

After only tens of seconds, Liszt shouted: "Here we come!"

Immediately, the Bell of Silence rang.

No. 9 shouted hurriedly: "At 3 o'clock, 900 yards away, a powerful monster is approaching. Its perception is very strong, and it is about to spot us!"

Only a second later, Number 7 shouted: "Too close, the effect of the Bell of Silence has been seen through, it has spotted us! It is rushing towards us! Speed ​​800 yards per second!"

boom!
In the next second, Rhodes and the old monster collided.

No. 19 shouted: "Level 13 psychic strength! The absolute value exceeds 10 ticks. This is a twilight demon. It has super high psychic defense, reaching the level of permanent 100 rails, and the limit defense can exceed 200." The total amount of psychic power is an astonishing 5000 rails, Your Excellency No. 0, you may not be its opponent, its soul is strong... huh? How is it 0? Dead?"

No. 19 couldn't believe his eyes, and took off the eyepiece, only to hear a muffled sound that seemed to come from the void.

Bang!
Rhodes withdrew his right hand, his whole body was entwined with star lines, shining with silvery white light, the white light on his two fists was particularly solid.

In front of him, the Twilight Demon's huge body, which looked like twisted and entangled dead wood, fell down like garbage and quickly turned into ashes.

【Evening Devil's Soul】

Rhodes clapped his hands: "Let's go."

Number 19 opened his mouth, but he didn't make any sound. With his sunken half of his head, he looked like a mentally handicapped person.

No. 7 patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "No. 19, I remember that the soul master Priscilla and the archbishop both said that your brain has recovered, and it will not be affected."

No. 9 gave him a look of contempt: "Do you have any misunderstanding about the combat power of special fighters?"

Rhodes shook his head: "I haven't been a special combatant yet..."

"At least quasi-special combatants."

Liszt smiled.

"Wang told me that in the face of non-king-level monsters, there is almost no difference between you and special-level combatants, and you even have more methods and wider adaptability."

Rhodes said with some embarrassment: "Ah, the king is right."

No. 19 touched the place where his head was sunken, shook his head and said, "This is just an appetizer, the monsters behind are much more difficult to deal with."

No. 7 shook his beard: "I'll bet you shit, it doesn't take more than a quarter of an hour for Your Excellency No. 0 to kill a monster, and whoever loses will be sucked into your mouth by Your Excellency No. 0. Do you bet?"

Rhodes was disgusted by No. 7's words, and when he was about to stop them, Asa suddenly opened his eyes in his mind: "Shit? Who's talking shit? Without my permission, who dares to eat shit?"

"Go back to sleep!"

Rhodes said angrily.

Just this distraction, I heard No. 19 shouting loudly: "I bet!"

"A word is settled!"

Rhodes glanced at them in shock, and then at Liszt.

The latter smiled and explained in a low voice: "Without affecting the mission, this will help keep the soul active, avoid falling into a deep sleep in the black mist, and being more polluted...Of course, you don't have to really pull ..."

"Okay!" Rhodes immediately stopped him, he didn't want to hear that word.

The team moved on.

Just like the bet on No. 7, Rhodes basically solved the monsters they encountered quickly, within a quarter of an hour.

In fact, most resolve within tens of seconds.

After igniting the new big star, and regaining the power lost by the Dark Devourer, his soul strength has exceeded 4997 million, and the strength of his spiritual power must have exceeded 10 kiosks.

Under the ultra-high spiritual strength, the power of each blow of Rhodes is far more than before.

What's more, he also mastered extraordinary hand-to-hand combat skills, wrapping the star string of [Star Shuttle] around his fist.

Monsters below the king level couldn't withstand the power of that punch.

Coupled with the "God Strike" of [Truth], monsters below level 13 psychic power are no match for him at all. Rhodes made up for it.

There is no need to use big moves like [Touch of Evil] [Giant Power] at all.

Soon, they crossed half of the Jianfeng Mountains.

Along the way, there were basically not too many obstacles.

The Bell of Silence covered up most of the fluctuations caused by the battle, and the whole process can be said to be very smooth.

Both No. 7 and No. 19 laughed happily, as if they forgot about eating shit.

However, when they climbed over the mountains, things suddenly changed.
