the last king of darkness

This is an extremely huge cave, it is hard to imagine such a huge cavity in the extreme depths of the ground.

When Rhodes jumped from the top of the cave, the long falling time made him think he had jumped into the abyss.

But no, he finally stepped on the ground, the breath of the abyss rushed towards his face, and terrifying pollution rose from the ground, indicating that this place was extremely close to the abyss.

Rhodes looked around and found that the cave was not natural, the ground was extremely flat, and columns of different heights were scattered in the cave in a certain order.

Horus said in a deep voice: "This is the seal that restrains the abyss. It was set up by giants in ancient times. They can suppress the abyss with the weight of the world."

Rhodes was surprised: "How did this happen?"

"Position."

Pebella said softly.

"I told you about planes and potentials. If you haven't forgotten them, you should remember that the material world is the lowest layer of potentials in space, and the void is the origin, the potential of zero."

"And the abyss is a very special plane. It is different from the material world, the spiritual world, and the sea of ​​origin. It is independent of the plane system. It is a negative existence in terms of potential, but it is not affected by the plane. Squeeze, therefore, the abyss often changes, and the space is extremely active."

She lightly stroked a pillar beside her, which was silver-gray like an ancient totem.

"The column can sense the pressure of the space potential. It seems that it is not a substance, but the plane itself. The sealing ceremony formed by it can transmit this pressure to the plane of the abyss, so as to suppress the abyss and restrain it. abnormal movement."

Qingyu sighed softly: "We can't understand how giants do it at all. Our understanding of space, position, and spirit is far from reaching their height. This is a super psychic power that we have never seen before. technology."

Horus said: "The function of the silver oath is to strengthen this seal. Although we cannot understand it, it is still a seal in essence. What can strengthen other seals can also strengthen it."

"But even so, it took us many years to make it, and we still relied on the wisdom of Your Excellency Theodore. Unfortunately, he has reached the limit of his life. He killed too many monsters when he was young, and the pollution of his soul is irreversible... Luo De, you should also pay attention, don't kill monsters indiscriminately because of your youth."

Pebella looked at Rhodes' strong and well-proportioned body with a smile: "Once the physical body reaches a perfect state, our lifespan will be greatly extended. In theory, there is absolutely no problem with 100 years. Every step, life will increase accordingly. When we reach the king level, we can live for 500 years, and if we become true kings, our lifespan will exceed a thousand years, almost infinite."

"But in fact, very few of us can live to be 100 years old, because the pollution is eroding our lives and corrupting our souls all the time."

Rhodes is a little uncomfortable with Pebella's gaze. He has no interest in Auntie. Although Pebella still looks beautiful, with a voluptuous figure and round peaks, the age gap makes him always feel like he is facing an elder:
"Ahem, this, can't we purify pollution?"

Pebella shook her head slightly: "No matter how much we purify, there will still be subtle invisible pollution remaining in our lives and souls, even if you recast the body, it will not be removed, and repeated corruption will weaken our resistance, making our body The soul and life gradually become corruption itself, which is irreversible, and the only solution is not to touch the pollution and corruption."

Rhode's heart sank. He didn't know if the purification of human nature could exceed such a limit, but it was absolutely impossible for him not to kill monsters.

"I see."

Rhodes still agreed with his mouth.

"I'll pay attention."

Horus glanced at him with satisfaction. The departure of Chief Dean Theodore was a great loss for Trorian. At his peak, his strength even surpassed that of the king at that time. He was the only king-level Trorian. Unfortunately, The pollution he received was too heavy, and the peak period only lasted for a short time. Later, he left the frontal battlefield, retired to the second line, and returned to the academy, which allowed him to live for so long.

This is also one of Horus' greatest regrets.

Wouldn't it be great if Theodore could be more rational and active on the battlefield for a longer period of time?
In that case, would they be able to save a lot of people from dying?Can Trorian recover faster?Can those heart-wrenching tragedies be reduced a lot?

Therefore, Horus will never allow Rhodes to repeat the same mistakes. If one day, the strongest new star active on the battlefield has to retire to Jinworth Academy due to serious corruption, it would be a sad thing.

Complicated thoughts passed in a flash, Horus concentrated, the most important thing at the moment was the task in front of him.

It is no exaggeration to say that the trip to the Dreadfort determines the future of Trorian. The strong human beings must be like the stars in the sky to reduce the possibility of corruption. Only one sun is doomed not to last long, and it will change sooner or later. into a black hole.

He came to the center of the cave, a gigantic pit thousands of yards long, with spiral staircases leading to unseen depths.

"Go down."

said Horus.

"Below is the abyss."

The four of them wore the "Blade of the Abyss" at the same time, a strange light shrouded them, and the aura of the abyss was instantly repelled.

Pebella said: "I will not die, I will go first."

Instead of taking the spiral staircase, she jumped directly into the pit.

Then Qing Yu, Horus, and Rhodes were forcibly placed last, because he was the youngest.

"Really."

Rhodes snorted.

"To this extent, I still always treat me like a child. Sooner or later, I will put you all under me, and use my broad, strong, safe and handsome back to carry everything for you."

The cold wind was blowing, this time the fall was so long that Rhodes doubted his life, the darkness seemed endless, and the breath of the abyss became thicker at an unprecedented speed. Whenever Rhodes thought it had reached its limit, he would soon find it Breaking through the limit again and becoming even more terrifying.

With a few pops, the red tearstone cracked, showing that the pollution here has exceeded its tolerance.

Qingyu flicked her fingers lightly, and the flames rose from everyone.

The four sparks fell at an unimaginable speed, and Rhodes keenly discovered that there was a strange change in the gravity. After crossing a certain limit, it exploded at an extremely fast speed, as if a much thicker earth was unfolding before his eyes.

Boom boom boom!

I don't know how long it took before four meteors hit the ground. The huge shock force made Rhode's hands and feet numb, but the ground under his feet was only slightly sunken, with only a few cracks appearing.

"This, is this the real abyss?"

Rhodes stood up, feeling that his body had become several tons heavier, and his movements became a little unsmooth.

Horus said in a deep voice: "Yes, we have come to the real abyss, the first, most primitive plane of the abyss, not the material world that sinks into the abyss."

"time……"

Pebella closed her eyes and said softly.

"Time is a bit strange, its flow rate is chaotic, and the time in the abyss is different from that in the material world."

"The space is different."

Qing Yu stared at the transparent crack in the space, what lies beneath the crack is not void, but some kind of chaotic storm: "We must be careful, don't fall into the fault of space, otherwise it will not be as simple as losing the void, it will be very easy." It may be destroyed in body and spirit."

Rhodes looked around, this is a dark and gloomy land, there is nothing but gravel on the barren surface, the weird darkness seems to suppress everything like gravity, and the black mist is here in thin lines, floating In the air, mixed with the breath of the abyss.

Alan's blessing protected them from this terrifying erosion. The black mist seemed gentle in the face of the violent abyssal breath, but it gave people a more sinister and cunning feeling.

"The black fog and the abyss must have some kind of connection."

Rhodes thought.

In his mind, the book of knowledge shouted: "Master, the ghost king is about to hatch, they smell the breath of the abyss, and they are already ready to move."

Asa also seemed very excited: "Ah, the abyss, according to legend, the oldest poop is hidden here, maybe I can get more powerful power from it!"

For some reason, after hearing Asa's words, the tension in Rhode's heart subconsciously decreased a lot.

"Let's go."

Rhodes took out the astrolabe, and the guidance from the stars never failed in the abyss.

"According to the prophecy and the clues provided by Lister, the Dreadfort is in this direction."

Horus looked at him in surprise, and found that Rhodes was more adapted to this place than him in disbelief.

Pebella praised: "It is worthy of being the strongest new star."

Qingyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The abyss is at the deepest part of the sewer. For little Rhodes, the deepest sewer is also a sewer."

Her words drew laughter, and the tense and depressing atmosphere was quickly diluted.

Rhodes glanced at her unhappily, but for some reason, since she said this, Rhodes felt more used to this place. He held the astrolabe, opened the eyes of the soul, and walked at the end of the team. ahead.

The space of the abyss has certain divisions and faults, and sometimes the direction will change suddenly while walking, but Rhodes is always keenly aware of this, and quickly determines the position and corrects the direction so that they will not get lost here. In the vast darkness.

But there are still many dangers on the wasteland of the abyss. Rhodes saw a lifeless lake, a swamp with black water flowing, sunken sand, and even black flames that suddenly burst out from the ground.

In Trorian, the black fire is the most ominous existence. It is a special twisted product formed after the black mist of the source erodes the holy fire. It has unprecedented terrifying pollution and is fatally corrosive to human souls. It is absolutely unacceptable. Taboo to touch.

Rhodes carefully avoided them.

For the umpteenth time, Horus sighed, "Lord, thanks to you."

Although it was Kuarod, Qingyu seemed to have a bright face: "Of course, this is my appointed little Rhodes."

In Trorian, except for Alan, they were the first group of people to set foot in the real abyss, and apart from a few words obtained from ancient books, they didn't have much experience to base on.

And Alan didn't go deep into the real abyss for too long.

Without Rhodes, their business would be in great danger.

Pebella smiled and said, "Maybe it's because of you that the king made his decision."

Rhodes smiled and didn't answer. He knew that this was just the beginning.

Under the sight of the eyes of the soul, the wilderness came to an end, and what greeted them next was a backflowing waterfall formed by infinite darkness.
