the last king of darkness

Chapter 624 Sword City
Will and Lance's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe what they saw.

"Fortress of Hera... has fallen?"

Where there are people, there is fire, and where there is no light, there must be no one.

Rhodes said calmly: "No, maybe I gave up. In a crisis situation, King City of St. Rael may choose to shrink its strength, reduce losses, and protect more core areas..."

Before the words fell, the ground suddenly shook.

"Be careful!" Liszt yelled, "There's something wrong here!"

Qingyu sensed the danger, and immediately shouted: "Get ready to fight!"

Only a few seconds later, there was a loud noise, and the fortress exploded into pieces, pus and blood burst out from the ground, like a volcano of blood exploding, the overwhelming blood immediately covered all the sight in front of them, and the ground was like a drum beating Jumping wildly, the weaker fighters couldn't stand and fell to the ground.

Qing Yu hurriedly shouted: "Be careful!"

There was a flash of fire, and there was another loud bang, and the roaring psychic fluctuations rushed towards the face like a landslide.

Rhodes looked up, and saw that the golden flames formed a huge wall, blocking a huge mass of pus and blood.

It hit the fire wall and exploded into pieces. Countless blood drops fell and evaporated under the strong light.

In the distance, a giant worm taller than the mountains protruded from the original site of the fortress, like a combination of a centipede and a cockroach. Its huge mouthparts were facing them, and pus and blood were still flowing around the carapace.

hiss!
The giant worm let out a terrifying roar, its huge worm body suddenly arched, and strong spiritual energy waves were released from its head.

Liszt yelled: "Its spiritual fluctuations are increasing violently, be careful, it is about to attack again!"

Bang!
Another mass of pus and blood, even bigger than before, spewed out from its mouthparts. The super-powerful psionic energy even caused disturbances in the space, and circles of invisible transparent ripples spread like lightning.

"Get out of the way!" Liszt yelled, "I can't stop it!"

boom!
The pus and blood exploded in mid-air, thousands of blood droplets hit the ground, puffs of blue smoke rose, and the oscillating spirit distorted the space.

When the blood light fell, Rhodes saw clearly that it turned out that a person rushed into the air and blocked the blow.

She was gray-haired, and she was the third Son of Fire, Pebella of the Wood City.

I saw that her spiritual energy was scattered all over her body, the spiritual mist in front of her was pierced, and half of her body was blown away, her flesh and blood were bloody.

Rhodes said in horror: "Perbella!"

"Don't worry." Qingyu said softly, "She's fine."

"fine?"

Rhodes opened his eyes wide, but saw a strange light emerging from Pebella's body.

It has a very weird twist, like some kind of opaque oil paint, or like a rainbow speeding by.

When the light fell, her body suddenly became intact, as if what she saw just now was just an illusion.

A smile appeared on Qingyu's face:
"The source law controlled by Pebella is time retrospect. Its real ability is to go back to its own time, and to go back to its own state a few seconds ago. As long as it is not completely dead, it will never be killed."

Horus looked at the figure in mid-air, and said in a deep voice, "This is the Time Rewinder, Pebella of the Wood City."

Rhodes looked at Pebella not far away in shock, erratic light flickered around her, like some kind of uncertain phantom, and even her existence itself became illusory.

"children."

Pebella's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

"As long as I am still here, you will not be harmed."

boom!
The third group of pus and blood spurted out.

Liszt shouted: "260 million psychic powers!"

This super powerful ability distorted the space, but Pebella resolutely bumped into it.

Accompanied by the terrifying loud noise, the spiritual energy fluctuations flooded everyone's perception like a sky crashing and earth breaking.

The blood fell overwhelmingly, but under the flash of colorful light, Pebella was still intact.

Lance exclaimed: "Your Majesty the Invincible God of War, your companion controls the incredible power of time and space. This is the most amazing source law I have ever seen. Its absolute psychic power is not strong, but its degree of sophistication is unparalleled. "

Rhodes gave him a surprised look.

Pebella's absolute psychic power has exceeded 50, which has crossed the threshold of level 15 psychic power, so it's not strong?

"Well, she can go back in time, as long as she is not killed immediately, she will not die..."

Lance nodded: "A very rare law of time origin, one of the three origins."

In the dream, the book of knowledge rarely praised: "This is a talent, her origin law is also very rare in ancient times, and it is very rare related to time and space."

The puppet said: "Master, this monster gives me a very uneasy feeling, I think you should retreat immediately..."

Rhodes frowned, and before he could reply, he heard Val say worriedly:
"Your Excellency Rhodes, let's retreat, I feel extremely disturbed, this giant worm seems not the only one..."

Before the words fell, there were only a few loud noises, and more giant worms broke through the ground, and pus and blood gushed out from the ground, dripping down on the worms.

It seems that there is a huge blood lake underground, and these giant worms are all monsters in the blood lake.

Liszt shouted anxiously: "Their psychic power exceeds the threshold of level 16. Although there is no strong source, the combat power of super-level monsters of this level will not be much weaker than king-level monsters! Let's retreat first!"

Qingyu didn't hesitate, and decisively gave the order:
"Retreat! Geraba takes the lead, Pebera and I follow, and the others take the wounded and non-combatants."

Everyone started to act immediately, Qing Yu soared into the sky, and the whole body radiated bright light, shining like a star in mid-air.

Rhodes knew that she was using it as a bait. The breath and light of flames were extremely disgusting to monsters, and they would attack this shining light group first.

And Qing Yu alone has a strong mobility, maybe able to dodge.

Horus tacitly took out the lantern, and a tiny amount of light illuminated the team.

Everyone quickly retreated to the rear.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy behind him pierced the sky, but no one turned back, and they didn't stop until they walked out of the mountains.

Not long after, a light of fire quickly approached them from the darkness, and Qingyu and Pebella returned to the team.

They didn't seem to be injured, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingyu said: "The giant worms don't seem to be able to move. After we moved away, they retracted into the ground."

Liszt looked solemn: "These giant worm monsters have very strong psychic energy, generally above 130 million kiosks, and they are very good at condensing psychic energy, and can hit attacks that are close to twice their own psychic energy strength, which is rare among monsters." An extremely rare ability."

Generally speaking, monsters cannot attack beyond their psionic strength.

Only after human beings have been trained and mastered the skills of psionic energy can they attack with higher intensity.

Therefore, under the same spiritual strength, monsters are generally no match for humans, not to mention the difference in source.

But if the monster has advanced to the king level, the situation will be different.

The king-level monster controls the strong source, and the strength and toughness of the soul increase dramatically. Under the same spiritual power, the spiritual energy with the strong source is more solid and stable, and it is also more powerful. Its instinct has also changed greatly. The level of threat far exceeds that of non-king-level monsters.

Although these giant worms are not king-level, their spiritual strength is too high, the threat is too great, and the number is too large, so it is likely to suffer a big loss in a frontal battle.

Retreat is definitely the right choice.

Pebella said: "Before we retreated, several giant worms broke out of the ground. It is hard for me to imagine that if we continue to fight, will more giant worms break out of the ground."

"What is under the Hera Fortress?"

She turned her gaze to Rhodes.

"Little Rhodes, please ask them, I hope there is nothing to hide."

Rhodes knew that she had doubts in her heart, which was indeed a bit suspicious.

But he also knew that Val and Lance were definitely not ancient evil thoughts.

"Sister Pebella, they are definitely not ancient evil thoughts, nor are they doomsday believers. The moment I saw them, it was impossible to fake such profound human feelings."

Pebella's eyes lit up, and she said in relief: "Little Rhodes must be right when he says this. Sorry, in the dark depths far away from the royal city, there will always be a little more vigilance."

Rhodes smiled: "This is what it should be. In this case, you can't be too careful."

In practice, of course, this alone is not certain, the real reason is that he has acquired their flower of humanity.

The ancient evil thoughts will never be moved from the soul because of the salvation of human beings.

He believed that the situation they encountered was beyond the expectations of Will and Lance.

Sure enough, after hearing his question, Will and Lance were full of confusion, confusion and worry.

"I don't know... I've never heard of what's underground in the Hera Fortress. This is the first time I've seen these powerful giant worm monsters."

Rhodes guessed: "Could it be that they abandoned the fortress because they discovered the abnormality under the fortress of Hera?"

Will and Lance looked at each other, with deep worry in their eyes.

"Your Excellency Rhodes, Fort Hera is one of our most important strongholds outside the kingdom. It guards three important waterways and has existed safely for 80 years... For such an important stronghold, the royal city must have undergone a complete investigation. I don't really believe they will suddenly abandon the fort."

Rhodes asked: "What is the channel? I have heard you mention it many times."

Lance explained: "We found a lot of precious mineral veins on the outskirts of the kingdom, but we are temporarily unable to expand that far. In order to obtain those resources, we use people with special concealment abilities as miners to mine in temporary mines. Minerals, and the road to transport the minerals back to the royal city is the waterway, and it is extremely important to guard the safety of the waterway, and such strongholds are key strongholds."

Weier said worriedly: "This is too unusual. Something must have happened in Wangcheng. Did something happen in Wuguang City again?"

"No, it's impossible."

Lance denied, "It's impossible for the city to have an accident. Maybe it's because the pressure on the dawn horizon has increased. Before I set off, I heard from Da Mu that the activities in the abyss seem to have become more frequent."

Lightless City, Dawn Horizon?
Why is St. Rael's name so strange?
Especially the Lightless City, it is hard to imagine that a human stronghold could be called the Lightless City.

Rhodes thought for a moment, then asked: "Is there a way to bypass the Hera Fortress? I think the most important thing now is to get in touch with King San Rael and let your Pope know of our arrival. I can help you better."

"Correct!"

Lance yelled:

"You are right, the most important thing now is to restore contact with the Central Holy See."

"Your arrival will be a huge elixir that will greatly boost our morale."

"Saint Rael must be in a very critical situation now. We may have encountered some huge troubles. Disasters have befallen our country. Your arrival will dispel these haze and bring us great hope."

"In such a dark world, hope is more precious than gold."

Weier said excitedly: "Your Excellency Rhodes, I really don't know how to thank you. I received assistance from my compatriots in times of crisis. Perhaps this is the meaning of human existence."

"Where should I go?"

Weier reminded: "The closest to here, the stronghold that Wangcheng will never give up..."

Lance pondered, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly.

"Sword City!"

Vale's golden eyes also shone brightly: "Yes, Sword City! This is our core center in the north, guarding the kingdom's northern gate, the intersection of sixty waterways, and the center of thirty towns. Under its protection, 3000 million people live! Wangcheng will never give up on this stronghold!"

"We can bypass the Hera Fortress from the west side path, and go northwest along the Songshi Channel for [-] yards, and we can reach Jiancheng!"

"Lord Suffolk, the guardian white king, is guarding the sword city. There is also the most powerful spiritual communication tower, which can penetrate the thickest black fog, and will never lose contact with the king city."

Lance turned his head, his gray eyes were full of expectations, and said solemnly: "Honorable Lord Rhodes, God of War in Black, please lead us to Sword City."

Pressing his chest with his right hand, he bent down deeply.

Weier's hands were slightly bent, and her shoulders were gracefully lowered.

It seems that this is the etiquette of the Kingdom of Saint Rael.

Rhode cleverly imitated Lance's movements as a gift, and Val's one must be exclusive to ladies, so he couldn't make a mistake, otherwise his fame would be ruined once again.

Afterwards, Rhodes relayed their words to Qingyu and others.

Horus praised: "Rods, you did a good job. You have such a meticulous and clear thinking that you didn't have before. I didn't expect that your frivolity and casualness will gradually change with time. Now, you are already a stable and stable person." As for the mature Son of Fire, of course, you should stop watching those unhealthy things in the future."

Qingyu smiled and said: "Little Rhodes will also grow up, Uncle Horus, don't look at him with the eyes of the past."

Horus nodded, and said: "After getting in touch with Saint Rael's Central Holy See, we will do our best to help them tide over the crisis. If necessary, I will ask Trorian King City for help."

Everyone has no opinion. Helping St. Rael is helping oneself. The expansion of Trorian can be delayed, but crises and disasters will not give time to humans.

They also believed that the addition of such a powerful new force would definitely greatly ease the crisis in St. Rael.

There may not be too many opportunities to ask Trorian King City for help.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Weier and Lance, the crowd bypassed the Hera Fortress, and rushed towards the northern gate of St. Rael - Jiancheng from the path outside the mountains.
