the last king of darkness

The team quickly moved into action.

Liszt and the six high-level investigators have now become the key figures in the team.

——The premise of rescuing the saint is to find her first.

Although the Holy Son and Saint Daughter of the White Sect has a high status in the Sect, they are not the leaders guarding the frontier like Suffolk, the White King who protects the Sect, and there is no corresponding "spiritual guidance".

Only traces left by her can be traced.

Soon, Liszt found traces of retreat around Jiancheng - a large number of low-level living corpses, ragged, with mutilated limbs, wandering in the darkness like dust.

This is the dust on the battlefield, dust-level monsters that no one cares about, their combat power is extremely weak, and they are usually the objects of training for the students. When the strong fight, the aftermath can kill them.

In the past, Liszt would not have noticed these dusts at all.

But now, they completely show the trajectory of the saint Evra's actions when the disaster strikes.

She, along with some powerful warriors, rushed out from the south gate of Jiancheng with millions of civilians.

They didn't have any means of transportation, they were understaffed, and the range of the fire was far from enough to cover everyone. Some people in the outer layer were quickly eroded by the black mist and turned into monsters.

They were sparsely distributed on both sides of the retreating road, far apart.

And these monsters that should have been easily killed, killed indiscriminately among the civilians, devouring countless lives. Therefore, among the crowd of dust, there are also a few unlevel and level monsters.

The Maiden and her warriors may or may not have been aware of this, some of the monsters had been wiped out, but many more remained.

It also became a clue for Liszt to follow.

But the wispy dust lane, which zigzags about 50 yards to the southwest, suddenly disappeared.

Liszt and others searched around for a long time, but found no new clues.

They seem to have disappeared from this world suddenly, leaving no traces.

After another search with no results, everyone gathered together.

"How is this going?"

asked Horus.

"Can't they fly?"

Lister said: "I have gone fifteen thousand yards and found no new clues."

A senior investigator said: "The vicinity is very dangerous. I found at least three nests of giant flesh golems, and I also encountered giant worms in the Hera Fortress. It is impossible for them to cross over."

"Could it be...they have already encountered misfortune?"

"No, it's impossible." Liszt denied, "If an extremely powerful monster attacks them, I will definitely be able to find clues."

Qingyu said thoughtfully: "Is it really possible to fly?"

Horus suddenly said: "Rods, ask them, does the saint have the ability to float?"

Rhodes shook his head: "That's impossible, Archbishop. Even if she has it, she can't fly with millions of people... And, if she can really do this, why doesn't she fly when she leaves the city?"

Even so, he still asked Will and Lance.

After all, no one knew what happened when the city was broken.

Will and Lance both showed incredible expressions when they heard Rhode's question.

"Lord Rhodes, both the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden have the characteristic of eternal burning fire. They are candidates for the future pope, and it is impossible to have other characteristics."

Rhodes had vaguely guessed it.

He didn't hear anyone similar to the candidate for the king from Weier and Lance, so the one who is most likely to succeed the Pope is the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter.

"I remember that the eternal burning fire can simulate the use of other characteristic abilities."

Weier replied: "This kind of imitation is relatively weak, usually far less than the original ability, and it is even more impossible to take off with millions of people, unless she takes that step, just like the Pope."

Rhode's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked; "Your Pope, has already taken that step to become a real king?"

Val looked at Rhodes strangely.

"Isn't your king?"

Rhodes choked.

King of Trorian, hasn't taken that step yet.

According to the king, he did not find the way to the true king, and despite his immense power, was unable to take the final step.

Therefore, he is not the real king, but just the pinnacle of the king.

Although Rhodes didn't answer, such a non-answer was tantamount to answering the question.

Both Val and Lance's eyes widened.

"Your king didn't step into the realm of God, so how did you survive until now?"

Rhodes hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is the real king a god?"

Lance replied affirmatively: "Of course, the true king is the god of mankind. This is a fact established at the end of the Era of Gods and the beginning of the Era of Man."

Rhodes knew that the Era of Gods was the Ancient Era, and in that era, God was the existence that dominated the world, so it was also called the Era of Gods.

And the Era of Man is the Era of Fire. In this era, the gods have disappeared and humans dominate the world. Similarly, it is also called the Era of Man.

He also knew the words "The true king is the god of mankind", but he had always been hard to believe.

After all, if this is the case, isn't the ancient god a real king-level monster?
Why wasn't the ancient god he met so strong?

The Ancient God of Flesh and Flesh Rebirth, the Ancient God of Destiny, and those old masters who claim to be comparable to gods are not that strong, and they are not even as strong as the guardian white king Suffolk, and he is only at the king level, and has not yet stepped into the world. The realm of the true king.

"What is your classification of monsters?"

Weier replied: "Monsters from level 1 to level 7, king level monsters, strong kings, and ancient gods."

Rhodes frowned, this classification is similar to Trorian, but the last level has never been heard of.

He translated their words, and everyone in Trorian showed shocked expressions.

"The real king? Their pope has already taken that step?"

Horus had a look of ecstasy on his face.

"Then they must have mastered the way to become a real king! The king finally has the opportunity to take that step!"

Qingyu was also extremely happy: "Looking at it this way, the Royal City of Saint Rael should be safe."

"They may have been forced to shrink their defenses to preserve more vitality."

"We must help him as much as possible."

Scholars, on the other hand, are more concerned with other things.

"Level 1 to 7? Corresponding to our gray level to strong level? No, there are two levels missing in the middle."

"Maybe there are two levels that are the boundaries of strong super-levels. After all, there is a huge gap in this level."

"There are also strong king-level monsters? The ancient gods are not king-level monsters?"

"It seems that our classification is not very precise, some are too general."

Professor Barrett pondered:

"After I go back, I will re-study this issue and formulate more accurate standards."

After thinking for a moment, Qingyu said: "Little Rhodes, you can ask them about the internal structure of the Baijiao, so that we can clarify the level of combat power of the Guardian Knight and the Guardian White King."

Rhodes nodded, and relayed the question to the two of them.

Weier replied: "In our Baijiao, the pope is the supreme and strongest, the guardian of the holy fire, the highest priest, and the chief shepherd."

"The Holy Son and the Holy Daughter are the future Pope."

"The one who leads one party's affairs and controls the power of prophecy is the High Shepherd. They are the most supreme people besides the Pope."

"Under the great shepherd, there are the guardian white kings, they are the leaders guarding one side."

"Except for the possible exceptions of the special saints and saints, they are all above the king level. They are the giant pillars of Saint Rael, and they are our most powerful combat power except the Pope."

"Below them are the captain of the guardian knights, the high-level guardian knights, and the white priest. These are the mainstays of St. Rael. Most of them are law-orderers, but there are also a few people like me who have not yet become law-orderers. .”

"Following that are the guardian knights, the sacrificial priests, they are all supernatural beings, and they are our main force."

Rhodes took a deep breath. From this point of view, St. Rael is far stronger than Trorian. No wonder Val and Lance didn't think they were very strong.

After all, they don't even have a Sovereign Rank in their team.

This time, they hugged their thighs.

Then, they should help St. Rael as much as possible.

Rhodes quickly entered deep thinking, and when he concentrated all his energy, the answer to the question soon emerged.

How to find the trace of the saint.

【Book of the Past】

Rhodes hadn't used this book for a long time, and almost forgot about it.

After all, most of the time, he was faced with hundreds of thousands of years of history, and the [Book of the Past] couldn't see that far. After the doomsday cultists were basically wiped out from the upper echelons of the royal city, it was hidden on the bookshelf Among them, he was never turned over by Rhodes again.

Now, it's time to take it out and use it.

As soon as Rhode thought about it, [Book of the Past] flew out of the bookshelf, flipping the pages quickly.

The scene where Rhodes was gradually appeared on the pages of the book, and with the input of his spiritual power, the time of the scene began to reverse rapidly.

One day, two days, three days... There was basically no change, the thick black fog covered the ground, and nothing could be seen.

It wasn't until the date changed to fifteen days ago that Rhodes saw a bright light that dispelled the black mist.

The light was so dazzling that he couldn't distinguish the details at all. Rhodes knew that it was because the Saintess' spiritual power was too powerful, surpassing the limit of the Book of the Past, so he couldn't see anything.

Rhodes can only jump forward in time, and then watch it in the normal order backwards.

Soon, this strong light passed, and the picture appeared textured, and the black mist shrouded it, but it was dispelled by the weak light.

Under the light, there are refugees like a torrent.

Their faces were terrified, their faces were sallow, their clothes were ragged, they were covered in filth and unkempt, and they stumbled along with the lantern bearer.

The lantern bearer wore a striking blue suit and held a brass lantern in his hand. He kept looking around and shouting loudly.

Armored knights move among the people, sometimes slaying monsters born from the shadows, sometimes tainted humans who are still alive.

The man fell down like a mustard, but no one cared, the torrent quickly passed over him and buried him under the dust.

This was an extremely cruel scene, which had a huge impact on Rhodes. Although he had heard of more terrifying tragedies, he had never witnessed them with his own eyes.

Ever since he became a Fire Bearer, he has been greeted with victories one after another, with very few fiascos.

After a while, the team suddenly became agitated, and the strong light shuttled back and forth on the screen, tearing the observable information to pieces.

Only when a few strong lights were far away from this area, Rhodes could see countless refugees gathering here. Huge disturbances came from a distance. They seemed to be attacked. The saint was fighting hard with the guardian knights. .

The number of refugees piled up rapidly, and Rhodes could see through the perspective of the Book of the Past that within a radius of 10 yards, they were all people.

Millions of people are crowded together, but they only occupy such a small area. Human fragility is fully displayed at this moment.

Rhodes saw from the corner of the screen that a black giant appeared in the distance, but he couldn't see clearly because the fluctuation of the battle was too strong.

About half an hour later, Rhodes clearly saw a white figure flying to the center of the screen.

Her face was indistinct, but she was definitely Saint Evra.

For some reason, she withdrew her psychic energy and stood in mid-air, seemingly saying something.

It's a pity that the screen cannot record sound, and Rhodes can't hear anything.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the saint stopped talking, only to see a gust of wind suddenly blowing up on her body, which rapidly expanded and enveloped the people.

Rhodes clearly saw that their figures disappeared quickly, and it seemed that even the sound and breath were also disappearing. The wind covered them, which seemed to be an invisible ability!

clever!

Rhodes realized it in an instant.

The power to take millions flying is unimaginable, but the ability to conceal millions is not.

In fact, they did not even leave a footprint.

The picture was once again obscured by strong light, and the saint had raised her spiritual power again, so he couldn't see anything anymore.

But Rhodes already knew where she was.

"follow me!"

Rhodes yelled and quickly ran towards the southwest.

Everyone was startled at first, but they quickly realized and quickly followed.

Horus asked: "Rods, have you found a clue?"

"Correct!"

Everyone was shocked, and Liszt was most concerned: "How did you find it?"

"With my amazing insight and profound wisdom."

Liszt said happily: "As expected of you, Lord Rhodes!"

A high-ranking investigator said in surprise: "Legion Commander, you were not like this before. He didn't say anything. Even if he is the strongest new star, you can't worship him blindly."

Liszt smiled faintly: "You don't understand, according to my observation, whenever His Excellency Rhodes starts to brag about his abilities, he must have made new discoveries."

"But, Lord Rhodes is rushing towards the lair of a giant flesh and blood puppet!"

"do not worry!"

"But, but, ah, we're going to run into... eh?"

The cyan stone wall was easily passed by them, like a phantom, and the scene in front of them changed drastically in an instant.

In the huge mountain depression, beside the lair of the terrifying giant flesh and blood puppets, countless people curled up, and an indescribable atmosphere filled the air.

"This, this is..."

In mid-air, a flame flashed rapidly.

"Is it the reinforcements from Wangcheng? You are finally here... Oh? Who are you?"
