the last king of darkness

Chapter 607 Defeating the King of Light
Rhode suppressed the excitement in his heart, took the Black Battlegroup, and rushed to the Red Forest in the west.

It is worth mentioning that with Molly's efforts, the Black Wargroup has expanded to more than a hundred people. After Rhodes officially advanced to the Lawrence, the number of people who want to join the battlegroup has exploded.

As long as he wants to accept it, 1 people can also accept it.

But this is meaningless, and Wangcheng will not allow a battle group to expand to the size of a legion.

For Rhodes, his main purpose of expanding the battle group is to transform them into "apostles" of the dream, so that he can earn divinity.

And to transform a person into an "apostle" in a dream requires him to provide a lot of resources to improve their spiritual power, break through bottlenecks, and increase their combat power.

According to the results of training during this period, Rhodes summed up a rule. Only when the total combat power increased with his help exceeds the sum of the past, will the initial transformation begin, and there will be a transparent name on the tombstone of the dream contour.

More than three times, can be completely transformed into "dream apostle", have a complete name on the dream tombstone.

This can explain why he helped Olivia to be promoted to the king rank, but there was no sign of transformation at all.

After all, he just gave a push at a critical moment, and the success of the promotion depended more on her own efforts, and it was impossible to match the sum of her past strength.

If a large number of fighters are recruited, the resources of the battle group will be divided thinly, and the speed of transformation will be slowed down.

It's not worth it.

Therefore, Molly strictly followed Rhodes' request, only recruiting those with great potential and below the third level of combat power.

An exception can only be made unless his potential is so great that he is suspected of being "human life".

It's a pity that such people have been noticed by Wang Cheng long ago.

Wangcheng has always attached great importance to the selection and cultivation of talents. They have a complete set of rules and regulations. Except for a little mistake on Rhodes, none of the other people will not be caught and let Rhodes miss. Not many opportunities.

"If only I could become the Son of Fire sooner."

Rhode felt rather regretful.

"In this way, we can cut off the beards earlier and catch all the rising stars."

Of course, this is just a thought.

Even if all were given to him, his resources would not be enough.

This is still thanks to the fact that he is the master of dreams, so he doesn't need much conventional resources.

All the distribution materials of the Son of Fire, as well as the rewards for the battle victory, were all contributed to the war group.

It is also because of this that the treatment of the Black Wargroup was so good that it exploded. Archbishop Horus once came to inspect and believed that the amount of resources they obtained was infinitely close to the amount of resources for cultivating fighters in the Age of Fire.

However, even so, it would be very difficult to transform them into "dream apostles" in a short period of time.

In this trip, Rhodes only added one person besides the three who were appointed by the queen—Frank from Mushroom City.

This is also an old teammate. He has fought side by side with Rhodes many times. He is the only complete "Apostle of Dreams" among the more than 100 newcomers.

Frank's characteristic is "inorganic transformation", which can change the inherent nature of non-living matter. The greater the change, the more psionic energy will be consumed. For example, transforming psionic potions into healing potions will not consume much psionic energy.

But if the poop is transformed into a healing potion, it may take Wang Lai to realize it.

His characteristic is not a fighting type, but he himself is a fighting type. Only in the fierce battle of life and death can he grow and improve his spiritual power.

Therefore, Frank's position has always been awkward. After he became a fourth-level combatant, his promotion was very slow.

Until joining the Black Legion.

Rhodes thinks that Frank's characteristics are very strange and may be "human beings".

Originally wanted to use 10 points of divinity to find out how he improved, but unexpectedly, the book of knowledge told him that this characteristic seemed to be a relatively well-known soul characteristic in ancient times, and it had a complete set of training methods in its memory.

As a result, Frank had the honor of becoming the first "Apostle of Dreams" personally guided by the Book of Knowledge.

Under the guidance of the Book of Knowledge, he constantly uses his characteristics to change the most difficult substances, such as star marrow, sun crystals, high-purity sunstones and other minerals with extremely high spirituality.

In the practice over and over again, his characteristics quickly deepened in the soul, the trajectory of the source law belonging to "inorganic transformation" became more and more clear, and the super level was also rapidly rising, moving closer to its source.

This is also one of the reasons why Frank became the "Apostle of the Dream" so quickly.

By the time they travel, Frank's identity has reached the last and longest level.

As long as he completes it, he can control the source law of "inorganic transformation" and be promoted to a law orderer.

Of course, his psychic powers were far from supporting him to do so.

The only thing he has to do now is to increase his spiritual power level.

Therefore, he must also follow Rhodes to fight.

The five of them took Annabelle and arrived at the westernmost boundary of Trorian - the "Red Forest" half a day early.

This is a red-dyed dead wood forest, covering an extremely vast area. At a glance, the tumbling black mist is all blood-red in color.

The Temple of Destruction where the "Lord of Light" is located is in the middle of the Red Forest.

In front of the Red Forest was the human stronghold that the Kingdom had just occupied.

It was named Red Forest Fortress, and Qingyu and her team were stationed here.

As soon as you enter the fort, it is a wartime scene.

In the extremely wide hall, the guardian fire was burning in the center, and the fire guardians carefully added phlogiston to the fire, surrounded by wounded, logistical and medical personnel shuttled through the crowd, and the bishop and priest continued to pray for the wounded on the hospital bed .

In the side hall on the other side, a group of soldiers are ready to go.

The white wolf was guarding the door of the side hall, and saw them at a glance.

Rhodes waved his hand: "White Wolf."

White Wolf nodded, no joy or anger could be seen on the vicissitudes of life: "Miss is waiting for you on the second floor, come with me."

He took Rhodes and the other five upstairs.

In this way, after many days, Rhodes once again saw Qingyu after completely controlling the source law of "Eternal Burning Fire".

She didn't look much different from before, still wearing a blue and white robe, with red lips and white teeth, and delicate eyebrows, just like when they first met.

The only difference is that the triple flame logo on the neckline has become the crown of fire.

This means that she has stepped into the ranks of Herrscher, becoming Trorian's highest combat power.

The moment Qingyu saw Rhodes, a smile bloomed on her face. That feeling was like ripples on the surface of a shining lake.

"Little Rhodes, it's a pleasure to see you again. I've been looking forward to the moment when we fight side by side."

Rhodes pouted.

You don't care how old I am, why do you call me little Rhodes.

But he didn't say it out loud. The focus now is on the battle to kill the king, and it doesn't matter what it's called.

In the future, there will be plenty of time for her to change her name to Big Rhodes.

"Me too, Sister Qingyu. In fact, I can't wait to rush into the forest and beat the King of Light. What kind of stuff dares to claim such a domineering title."

A Luo burst out laughing on the side: "Xiao Dede, you are so interesting."

The corner of Rhodes' mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that the title "Little Rhodes" was also good, at least better than Xiao Dede.

Behind him, Annabelle looked contemptuous: "I knew this guy was a dirty man who was promiscuous everywhere!"

Although Kashan didn't speak, her fists were already clenched.

Mephis was as indifferent as ever, and even deliberately kept a distance, as if he didn't like Qingyu's surging heat.

Only Frank asked in a daze: "Isn't Lord Rhodes unmarried?"

This sentence received two blank stares at the same time, Annabe and Kassan had even classified him into the scumbag camp in their hearts, and Frank didn't know what happened yet.

On the other side, the white wolf said calmly: "Your Excellency Rhodes, the King of Light is a king-level monster. It has been stationed in this forest for at least 700 years. An important factor in the expansion of Trorian, because of its existence, many times we have to stop expansion far away from it."

Qingyu smiled and said: "White Wolf, I actually think Little Rhodes' statement is quite good. He despises monsters in terms of aura, and values ​​​​the enemy in terms of tactics. We want this kind of mentality. What about king-level monsters? What's so scary? What? One day we will wipe out all such terrifying existences."

A Luo clapped her hands and laughed: "That's right, that's it. Sister Qingyu and Little Rhodes can defeat any monster when they fit together!"

Rhodes looked at her speechlessly, and everything that came out of her mouth changed.

Qingyu didn't care much, she came to a long table, pointed to the ash plate on it and said.

"Look, this area is the Red Forest, and the Temple of Destruction is here. It is the center of the Red Forest, but we cannot attack directly."

"Because in the red forest, there are a group of monsters called scarlet witches. They are derivatives of the Lord of Light. If they directly attack the Temple of Destruction, the scarlet witches in the entire forest will gather and drown us."

White Wolf took out a dossier.

"This is the relevant information provided by the big library and the White Tower."

"According to the data, the King of Light was originally an extremely crazy cult leader active in the Age of Fire. The cult members worshiped their leader extremely and believed that he was the incarnation of light, so they will call him the King of Light."

"They claimed that they held the key to the world, and that only they could bring light to the world, trying to defraud power and resources, but they were quickly discovered and expelled from the human kingdom Sigles at that time."

"The cult disappeared quickly, but when the catastrophe came, people found that the Lord of Light was among the monsters."

"After the end of the Age of Fire, the Lord of Light wandered in the dark for a long time until he came to the Red Forest 800 years ago. The characteristics of this place are especially suitable for him, so he settled down here. built its lair in the middle, and mass-produced its derivatives, scarlet witches and demons."

"During 800 years, these derivatives spread all over the Red Forest, becoming the biggest obstacle to the westward expansion of the kingdom."

"According to records, the Lord of Light has not been silent, and has always maintained an active state. Hundreds of years ago, he attacked Trorian's expansion legion and caused heavy losses. After that, Trorian never separated the border Being close to here, the red forest has become an insurmountable obstacle for us."

"The White Tower has confirmed the authenticity of the above news, and eliminated any wrong or untrue information."

Rhodes nodded slightly, the existence of the King of Light had actually been mentioned to him a long time ago.

Of course, at that time they were far from capable of defeating the Lord of Light.

But now, after more than half a year of rapid development, Trorian has finally come to clear all obstacles.

After that, Qingyu briefly told Rhodes about the current battle situation.

They came to the Red Forest Fortress two weeks ago. Due to the intense fighting situation and the tense battle force, only two special forces were sent to crusade against the King of Light, one arrived first and the other was to be determined.

Naturally, Qing Yu was the first to arrive.

Although the special-level combatants are nervous, thanks to the outbreak during this period, the high-level combatants are very generous. Wangcheng sent 20 first-level combatants, 60 second-level combatants, and 300 third-level combatants. .

According to the plan, they would first clean up the Red Forest thoroughly, then attack the Temple of Destruction, and finally kill the Lord of Light, opening a passage for the expansion of the King City in this direction.

Originally, Wangcheng expected to finish clearing the Red Forest within two weeks. At this time, another super fighter was sent to finish killing the King of Light.

Unexpectedly, the difficulty of the battle was far beyond imagination.

The Scarlet Witch was far more difficult to deal with than expected. Coupled with the deteriorating weather, foggy days, dark days, and lightless nights came in turn, causing the difficulty of the battle to rise sharply.

Within the estimated two weeks, it was far from reaching the scheduled goal.

The battlefield has a tendency to gradually deteriorate. If this continues, the Red Forest battlefield will become a huge burden for the expansion of the royal city.

Qingyu came to the window and looked into the distance through the special crystal glass.

"Little Rhodes, our task is very heavy. In another two weeks, the battle in another direction will affect here. If we can't solve it as soon as possible, it will interfere with them and disrupt the expansion plan of the royal city."

She turned her head, her lacquer-like pupils gleamed in the firelight.

"Are you confident?"

Unexpectedly, she was greeted with a bright smile.

"Have."

Although it was just one word, it pierced the haze in her heart like a sharp arrow of light.

For a moment, the heavy heart caused by the unfavorable fighting situation in the past two weeks was swept away.

Maybe.

A thought suddenly popped up in Qing Yu's mind.

He is really my destined husband.

-

-

Of course, Rhodes didn't know what was going on in Qing Yu's mind, he smiled so happily because he knew it very well.

The greater the difficulty, the more divinity!
Sure enough, as soon as Rhodes returned to the dreamland, he saw the flashing golden numbers on the Square of Stars.

Possibility of divinity gained: 50-100
it is good!
There are so many divinities!
Rhodes was delighted, and if he did this a few more times, the last big star could be ignited!
In this battle of expansion, I must go to another level and step into the king class as soon as possible!
Rhode inspected the materials and items in the dream, and when he was about to leave, suddenly, the dream shook violently.

The Book of Knowledge jumped off the Tower of the Sun and rushed into the House of God.

"Master! We have crossed the border and come to the ice prison!"

Rhodes was shocked, finally arrived!

The boundary between the Chaos Sea and the Ice Prison is really too big. After sailing through the dreamland for a long time, it finally entered the new high-level spirit world.

He jumped into the House of God in one step, came to the Terrace of Light, held down the Star Core, and saw beyond the dreamland.

His sight became icy cold in an instant, and the boundless fog blocked his eyes, and the light blue color was like condensed ice fog.

But soon, the void of the dream passed through it, breaking into a space shrouded in cold light.

As far as the eye can see, it is all extremely cold cold light, which shoots from an infinite distance and extends to the infinite distance.

There are many large and small ice blocks floating in the space, some are bigger than the royal city, some are smaller than the dream void, and there are countless ice particles whizzing past among them.

In the extreme distance, drifting ice fog, roaring ice tornado, falling hail or heavy snow can also be seen.

The Book of Knowledge said ecstatically, "This is the Ice Prison! That's right, this is the Ice Prison!"

The vibration of the dream became more severe, and circle after circle of ripples spread in its tail.

There was a violent roar in the space, some icebergs suddenly cracked or collapsed, the cold wind was violent, and the whistling sound filled the ears.

Even Rhodes saw something was wrong and shouted, "What's going on?"

The Book of Knowledge shouted excitedly: "The dream is plundering the spirits at the bottom of the ice prison! We are stronger and can plunder more spirits!"

After about tens of seconds, the abnormality stopped.

The dream also officially entered the ice prison, and began to shuttle between the icebergs, avoiding the whistling hail from time to time.

But the Book of Knowledge of this level could handle it, so Rhodes returned it.

He wants to see what the special creation of the ice prison is.

Light the candle on the stone platform, and sure enough, a new dream creation appeared in front of him.

[Ice Prison]: Seal an area in the ice prison, prohibiting all spiritual communication.

Requires 1 Flower of Humanity and 10 Divinity.

Can only make five copies
-

Rhodes scratched his head and asked, "Book, what's the use of [Ice Prison]? What does spiritual communication refer to?"

The Book of Knowledge briefly replied: "Resurrection, in the [Ice Prison] area, all forms of resurrection are prohibited."

Rhodes was startled.

"Is it the stone of resurrection?"

"Yes."

"Then what's the use?"

"Many monsters have the ability to revive, and [Ice Prison] can target these monsters. In addition, the Ice Prison is an environment with ice characteristics, which has a great bonus for souls with such characteristics. His soul is extremely suppressed."

Rhodes glanced at it, and his eyes stayed on the materials for making it. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Let's do it when we need it."

The Book of Knowledge didn't answer, it was nervously manipulating the dream void and flying towards the core of the ice prison.

——It was an incomparably huge iceberg, and the key dream fragments must be there.

Rhodes left the dreamland slightly disappointed.

In fact, he has been looking forward to the new dream creation for a long time.

In the past, whether it was [Undead Spirit] or [Light Bell], they had great effects.

But [Ice Prison] doesn't seem to be very useful. So far, Rhodes hasn't encountered any monsters that will be resurrected.

At this time, the team had just set off.

He, Qingyu, Annabelle, Kashan, Mephis, White Wolf and Aluo, a group of seven, walked towards the Red Forest together.

Along the way, Qing Yu explained in detail why the battle situation was so unfavorable.

"The pollution in the Red Forest is too serious, it is difficult for soldiers to fight for a long time, and neither can I."

Rhodes nodded, not paying attention, anyway, he is not afraid of pollution.

"The astrology is unfavorable, there are too many bad weather, and the soldiers have been greatly affected."

Rhodes didn't care either, his abilities were basically not affected by astrology.

"The Scarlet Witch is extremely difficult to deal with. It has a special layer of psychic defense, which can buffer the attacks of super threats. In most cases, it is guaranteed that it will only receive damage below 2 rails at most."

A rail is the unit of the total amount of psionic energy. One rail of psionic energy can charge the psionic railgun in Wangcheng once, so it is sometimes used as the amount of damage caused.

Rhodes frowned, this is very troublesome.

In this case, even if it is a super combat power, it will take a certain amount of effort to kill it.

"The most troublesome thing is."

Qing Yu said in a low voice.

"It can be resurrected."

"If you don't burn the rot in its body in time, a new Scarlet Witch will be born in the forest soon... Huh? Rhodes, why did you stop?"
