the last king of darkness

Chapter 637 Pope
Taxis stood on the mountain peak, looking down at the royal city below.

His expression didn't change, but Rhodes felt a great sadness.

Yes, his royal city has fallen.

The once glorious city is now only left with darkness.

All the warmth, vitality, and emotion finally turned into this dead silence.

Rhodes can actually feel this kind of pain. He felt this way when he lost his companions, teammates and relatives, and the number one holy son undoubtedly lost countless times more than he lost, but he just remained silent for a few seconds, calmly said:
"Let's go."

Taxis moved and jumped down from the mountain peak.

Rhodes followed closely and asked, "How do we get in?"

Taxis flicked his fingers lightly, and an invisible light enveloped the two of them.

"The hidden light covers your body and breath, and covers your soul. As long as you don't look at the monster or show your aggressive hostility, you won't be discovered by the monster."

Rhodes looked at the transparent arm in amazement, with a slightly envious tone.

"Eternal Burning Fire is really convenient. You can use whatever characteristics you want. I have worked so hard to ignite... Uh, kindling, it doesn't have as many functions as yours."

Taxis shook his head slightly: "There is a price for this. The strength of the characteristics we use is generally lower than that of Eternal Flame. Generally speaking, the effects of the sources of those characteristics cannot be imitated. Moreover, they are not special characteristics. It can be imitated and used, we need to learn, we need to understand its existence, figure out its mode of operation, even better than its owner.”

Rhodes frowned: "That is to say, you need to learn to master other characteristics?"

"Yes, we have to witness how it is used, and then do a lot of practice before we can master the ability of a characteristic, and some special characteristics, we can't imitate... Even if I control the power of fire Yuan, the king of fire, can only imitate more than twenty characteristics, and the effects are generally far inferior to its users."

Taxis paused for a moment, then continued.

"Actually, the essence of characteristics is the use of laws and laws."

"When you control the law of the source, you also control the authority of the law, not only the law of your corresponding characteristics, but also all the laws of the entire space. This is the field! Of course, even if you have a strong source, The power to manipulate the law is still very weak, and only when the root source is controlled can its power be initially revealed."

"That's why the real king is called a god."

Rhode's heart trembled, it turned out to be the case.

In this way, the difference between the source law itself is not very big, but the strength and level of the source law.

No wonder dreams can transform or assimilate sources.

The two walked to the front of the king's city, and the giant city gate with a height of [-] yards was closed tightly. There were monsters wandering around, and black mist snaked down from the city wall, which was unspeakably terrifying.

"follow me."

Taxis said, with a light leap, he jumped onto the city wall.

Rhodes followed closely behind, originally thinking that they would walk on the city wall for a while, but he turned around and jumped into a gap in the middle of the city wall.

As the line of sight changed, a familiar aura rushed over.

At this moment, he knew.

He went back to the sewers.

The sewers in St. Rael are much more normal than those in Trorian. Maybe this is a newly built human city, unlike Trorian King City, which was left over from the ancient city of giants. dirty.

The First Holy Son was obviously very familiar with the sewers, he led Rhodes to move quickly in the winding corridors, and quickly crossed a large area.

"The shortest way is to take the sewer, which can save a lot of time... You seem to be very comfortable, have you been here before?"

Rhodes flatly denied: "No."

Fortunately, the journey was not very long. After a while, they walked out of the sewer and returned to the ground again.

This is a wide street lined with tall buildings.

Rhodes looked around and found that the buildings in the Royal City of St. Rael were very tall and large, with distinctive forms, unique line tension and curvature ratios. Correspondingly, it reflects a gorgeous and grand style.

But at this moment, they were all submerged in the black mist, the splendor turned into eerie, and the grandeur turned into horror. Many buildings were damaged, which were the traces left by the battle.

Rhodes asked: "Isn't the royal city... being invaded by the abyss? Why can't I feel the breath of the abyss?"

Taxis said in a deep voice: "The blood god of filth absorbs the breath of the abyss, especially after polluting the living beings. He uses it to make flesh and blood puppets. Almost all the puppets that are looting in the kingdom are born from this. .”

Rhode's heart trembled, no wonder the abyss could not be felt in Sword City, but Evra said that they were also invaded by the abyss.

The sadness in Taxis' eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "This is the inner city, and the holy fire sacrificial field is in front of it, follow me."

Walking out of the street, Rhodes soon saw piles of living corpses wandering aimlessly on the broken streets, turning a blind eye to Rhodes and Taxis.

Judging from their costumes, they are all residents of St. Rael.

Taxis passed through the crowd of living corpses expressionlessly, no monster understood him, just like a wind blowing.

After crossing a few more streets, Rhodes' vision suddenly widened.

In front of his eyes was a scene of destruction. Under the open space, broken buildings, collapsed houses, black mist billowing in the air, and interlaced cracks on the ground formed a catastrophic scene.

Hundreds of warriors fell under this space, their corpses were torn apart, the black mist penetrated into the flesh and blood, and new monsters rotted out of their stumps.

Rhodes saw the central building at a glance. It was a fire protection sacrificial field. These soldiers surrounded it, guarding the flame that remained after the holy fire was extinguished, until their bodies were cut into pieces and reached the fire protection sacrificial field. Trampled down until the guardian fire within was extinguished.

St. Rael's royal city is really different. Under the holy fire, there are still so many guardian fires and guardian fire sacrificial sites.

After the holy flame was extinguished, these flames became the last hope of the warriors.

But it is a pity that no one came to rescue them until the end of everything.

Taxis passed through the monster calmly, picked up the fire from a cloud of ashes and put it in his arms, and said flatly: "Let's go."

Under the cover of the hidden light, the two of them did not disturb any monsters, and confirmed one thing, the Royal City of St. Rael had completely fallen. After the First Bishop left the Royal City with the last survivors, there was nothing left. Down with the living.

At least Rhodes didn't see it.

Before the destruction, the civilians and soldiers of the royal city gathered near the various fire protection sacrificial grounds. Therefore, many areas in the royal city were empty, but many areas were filled with monsters.

The chasm of the abyss had been closed, and Taxis found traces of its existence—a piece of scorched land, more than 2000 yards long and 100 yards wide, running across a residential area, sticking to the ground like a scar.

Rhodes didn't smell any abyssal breath, nor did he see any abyssal monsters.

"Where are they?"

"They were likely absorbed by the blood god of filth."

Taxis replied that he found the remaining ashes of the old god in the scar.

"This is the residue of power. His spirit has come here. Perhaps, every crack in the abyss has such traces."

Rhodes asked: "Why can the ancient gods absorb the breath of the abyss?"

"This may be related to corruption. The abyss and the black mist have always had a very deep connection. We don't know what the ancient gods did for it, but it is very likely to be in the abyss."

Rhodes nodded and continued to investigate. Soon, he found that the small abyss rift was still in the royal city, but no monsters spewed out, and the inside of the rift was on the verge of collapse.

A gleam of light flashed in Taxis' eyes: "I feel that there is some kind of force fighting against them."

Rhodes frowned and said, "What do you mean? You want to say that the Pope might..."

Taxis didn't answer, he stood up and quickened his pace.

After bypassing dozens of areas, they finally came to the holy fire sacrificial field.

The holy fire sacrificial site of St. Rael is very huge, with a radius of more than 1 yards. For a building, this is a terrifying size.

The entire holy fire sacrificial site is in a semicircle, like an extremely huge cobblestone, and its outer wall is full of the emblems of the Baijiao.

But just as Mode said, a mysterious force covered it, and invisible dark ripples enveloped the entire holy fire sacrificial field.

Taxis said in a deep voice, "This is what Maude said about the barrier..."

He touched lightly, and suddenly his fingers turned into fists, hitting hard on the barrier.

It didn't move at all, only a dark ripple spread out.

"The miraculous seal... It seems impossible to break it with force. It must find its nodes and break it from the structure... No, no, there is no gap, I can't find the nodes, this is a deadly obstacle!"

For the first time, an anxious expression appeared on Taxis' face.

He attacked the barrier continuously, but the barrier remained motionless.

"Step aside."

Taxis roared.

"I'm going to do my best."

Rhode suddenly shouted: "Wait! I know what this is!"

Taxis looked at him impatiently, waiting for his answer.

Rhodes had completely recalled it, and shouted: "It's Starry Sky City, and the holy fire sacrificial field in Starry Sky City is exactly the same!"

He narrated the process of the Starry Sky City battle as quickly as possible.

"I have a way to break it."

Rhodes put his hand on the dark ripples. This is the method he found after spending 10 points of divinity, but he didn't expect to be able to use it a second time.

In the next moment, a special tool that was almost buried in the garbage dump of the dream was summoned into his hand.

brush!
In an instant, the dark ripples all over the sky spread, and the seal flickered rapidly. With a thought, Rhodes came to the building block space again with a light tap.

Relying on the means of the prophet's decision, he quickly completed the challenge and brought the internal stars back to their positions.

Accompanied by the rumbling sound, a small opening was opened in the dark ripple.

Rhodes and Taxis stepped in immediately.

But what was presented before their eyes was a vast and chaotic space, with dark water waves floating in the air, like a certain area in the spirit world.

"Where is this?" Rhodes asked eagerly.

Taxis said: "It's inside the Holy Fire Sacrifice, it's falling into the spirit world."

Although his tone was calm, Rhodes could hear a slight trembling.

The answer may be right in front of your eyes.

Under the leadership of Taxis, the two quickly found the center of the sacred fire sacrificial field.

It's underground.

When Taxis touched lightly, a gap appeared on the ground.

He jumped down almost impatiently, followed by Rhodes.

despair!
With a very soft sound, Rhodes fell into the thick white ash.

The sound died away, and the silence began to press on the eardrums.

He immediately looked up and saw that this was a very wide field, oval in shape, covered in white ash on all sides, sunken in the center, and a huge pot-shaped object stood there.

A black liquid flowed from the pot, falling drop by drop, seeping into the ground.

Rhodes' pupils shrank suddenly, and he recognized it, it was black water!

The first generation of the black mist of the source, the most suitable pollutant for fire extinguishing!

The holy flame was extinguished by black water?

Rhodes immediately turned his gaze, and saw that there was a huge throne under the cauldron.

On the throne, a thin and small man sat obliquely.

He was wearing a gold and red robe and a tall white crown, with the semicircular emblem of the White Sect appearing everywhere on it.

Rhodes noticed Taxis trembling violently beside him.

At this moment, the figure trembled slightly and opened his eyes.

The eyes are all black.
