the last king of darkness

Chapter 76 The King of Sewers

In the huge blue fire, the firewood for the soul is still faintly visible, like the core of the bonfire.

Rhodes thought, the world turned upside down instantly, the pure black night sky disappeared, and he returned to the front of the stone tablet.

He raised his head and touched the surface of the stele with his fingers.

The darkness filled the surface of the monument again, and the stars emerged.

Now, the blue star is much brighter than the dark red star, and its intensity far exceeds it.

And its potential is just "blazing fire".

Rhodes frowned. He now knew that the potentials of soul stars were divided into five levels.

"Unburned fire", that is, ashes, unlit stars.

"Dark Fire"

"Blazing Fire"

"Golden Fire"

"Eternal Fire"

Only when the eternal fire is reached, the state of the stars will be fixed at "eternal burning".

The strength not only represents the strength of the stars, but also the strength of his soul.

[Darkness Devourer] is so much higher than [Broken Blue], why is the strength only 30?

The Book of Knowledge has no answer to this question either.

Rhodes recalled the many abnormalities when he ignited it, and he could only believe that [Darkness Devourer] is a very special star, and everything about it is an exception.

In the normal process, soul firewood must be added first, so that the stars can have a burning core and improve the efficiency of burning.

After that, continue to inject fuel into the stars. When the intensity reaches a certain limit, the stars will break through the barrier, increase the potential, and finally reach the "eternal fire".

After reaching the "eternal fire", the state of the stars is fixed, and no more fuel can be injected, only "quantified".

For "quantified", the explanation of the Book of Knowledge is:

[Make the soul star reach its final form, spread its power and affect the spirit world. 】

Rhodes has not yet figured out the concept of the spirit world, but obviously, this is not what he can do now.

He hadn't even heard of what "quantification" required.

However, Rhodes quickly thought of another problem.

[Broken Blue] Now it has only reached the "Blazing Fire", far from the constant burning state of the "Eternal Fire".

Its strength will continue to weaken.

This is a hassle.

Rhodes could only turn to the Book of Knowledge for help.

Its answer is simple:
【Add humanity】

Rhode's heart moved, and he asked again: "What is the function of human nature?"

[The human nature located inside the obelisk can improve sanity, increase resistance to madness and dementia, and increase resistance to darkness erosion]

[The extracted human nature can be used as a production material, or as an ingredient for adding fire, and added to the soul firewood to prevent the power of fire from passing away]

That's it!

No wonder the wailing of the Plague Demon didn't affect me at that time.

It seems that there should be more in the obelisk, so that I don't have to be afraid of those strange weird effects.

Rhodes was very happy. What he feared most was being polluted and turning into something neither human nor ghost.

Suddenly, he thought of the flower of humanity again.

When I came to the side of the obelisk, I saw a black flower at the foot of the obelisk.

"Flower of Humanity"

Condensed from human nature, it is an incomparably precious thing, used to make powerful spells and mix rare elixirs of sanity.

Crush it to get 100 humanity.

-

This is of course impossible to crush.

After reading its information, Rhode carefully picked up the black flower and put it in the storage.

A lot of materials have been stored here, besides the ones obtained in the dream, there are also many he bought in the market area.

Because an unknown well-meaning person gave him a hunter license for free, Rhodes was able to save ten thousand silver wires and buy a lot of materials he needed, and now things are progressing so smoothly.

Well, if you meet him in the future, you should thank him well.

Afterwards, Rhodes extracted a piece of humanity and added it to the blue star.

Starfire instantly became stable and could last for a day.

A piece of humanity is nothing more than ten o'clock.

I go to have an in-depth communication with Kashan every day, and it’s more than that.

Haha, that's easy.

Now, the only thing I have to do is swipe Spiritless Souls.

The stars can quickly become stronger until the "eternal fire".

Thinking of this, Rhodes came to the soul altar, and simply sacrificed the last four [souls of mad sinners].

The fire of the soul is twisted in the hands, divided by invisible forces.

Its soul body is absorbed by the obelisk and stored in the stele; the spirit body is separated and condensed into spirituality;
A total of 471 spiritless souls, 5 polyspiritualities, and 4 frenzied traits were obtained.

"Frenzy Trait": Concrete with some "Frenzy" traits.

Rhodes frowned.

This is another question.

I can write them down and ask the Book of Knowledge in the future. I don’t know much about dream language now, so I can’t understand some answers.

Rhodes took a look at his current soul strength, which was three times that of before.

Now go to the Mechanical Research Institute to test, will my spiritual power be tripled?
Rhodes is full of confidence.

Now, when I look at the invasion again, it should not be "must die".

The Book of Knowledge told him that the only criterion for any evaluation provided by dreams is the difference in soul strength between the two parties.

Now that his soul strength has increased so much, the level of threat definitely doesn't have to be dead, maybe it has become a must.

Haha.

Rhodes came to the back of the obelisk and touched the surface of the obelisk.

Bloody words fell from the spire, and the shimmering red light was reflected on his retina.

Invade!

Invade!

Invade!

After nine rounds of sunset, the invasion will come.

Warning: You are about to leave the Abyss of Darkness, and you will not be able to craft "Guardian of Darkness".

Possible intruders: Immortal, Nightmare, Premus the Binder, Dead River's Red Hunter Tug.

Possible Invasion Environment: Nightmare Night.

Invasion and escape: no.

Invasion Threat: Mortal.

-

what?
Or "must die"?
Is my soul strength fake?

Or am I too weak?Ants and hardy ants are indistinguishable to incoming invaders?

Rhode's heart turned cold.

There is only a little bit of life-saving golden light left, and according to the information in the Book of Knowledge, at least one hundred divinity points are needed to provide protection.

He has already experienced the word "Must die" once, and it is absolutely true "Must die" if you match it alone.

How to do?
The only way Rhodes could think of was to use the remaining nine days to swipe.

If you can get thousands or even tens of thousands of spiritless souls, maybe there is still life.

Then prepare all kinds of materials, medicines, weapons and items in advance, and the chance of survival will be even greater.

That's right.

A sense of pride welled up in Rhodes' heart.

I don't believe in "must die".

it is good!
For the next nine days, I'll be living in the sewer, and you'll eat all the shit!
With strong determination, Rhodes returned to the material world, and instantly fell into a dreamless sleep.

Early the next morning, Rhodes went out.

The lights of the academy were foggy and hadn't been fully lit yet. The breeze from the lake felt like an early morning.

But Rhodes was not in the mood to be sad. He went directly to a dormitory building to find Hines who got up early in the morning to maintain his hair.

"What's the matter?" Hines was fixing each hair according to the predetermined curvature, and the heavy work made him a little grumpy.

"You said that you can come to you if you have something to do."

"That's right, apart from borrowing money, you know, my maintenance solution is too expensive."

"I would like to ask for nine days off."

"Okay, the Ash Digger School has been contacted, let's go now."

-

This is probably the way that Chief Dean Theodore has drawn for him.

It doesn't have a big impact, and if it's done well, it can also make people from the school become his wage earners.

Rhodes then went to the market area, and used the remaining 4500 silver cables to buy 2 grams of star ruby ​​powder, [-] real silver bullets, and [-] thunderstones.

The [-] silver ropes were officially spent.

He became pauper again.

"Perhaps we can sell the rewarded green grass potion and holy white tree fruit."

These are all controlled products and illegal trading is not allowed.

But as we all know, illegal ones are the most expensive.

Green grass potion and holy white tree fruit are items that directly strengthen strength, but they are useless to Rhodes, because he actually has neither fire seed nor spiritual power.

He had already tried it, and the cultivation of psychic power was useless to him at all. He couldn't absorb the potions that increased and enhanced psychic power.

Only these two items remained specifically.

It shouldn't be a problem to sell such a precious thing for a hundred thousand silver cords, right?
The thunder stone is only [-] silver cords a piece, and with [-] silver cords, I can set up a minefield and blow up the monsters to death.

Of course, Rhodes hasn't found a channel for this yet, and he can't be sure whether this kind of black market really exists.

The risk is also very high, the consequence of illegal trading is the death penalty, it is best not to make a move until the end.

After sending the purchased items to the dreamland, Rhodes came to the stone platform.

He is going to make [Spirit Sealing Bullets].

Put ten real silver bullets, three parts of spirituality, one part of human nature, and one gram of astral ruby ​​powder on the stone platform.

With a light touch, the big hands in the stone platform flew out again, grabbing all the materials together and kneading them frantically.

After a while, the ten spirit-sealing bullets were completed.

It looks similar to a real silver bullet, with a streamlined body and a silver shell, but with a circle of spiritual patterns.

The bullet has the effect of sealing the spirit, which can hinder the operation of the enemy's spiritual energy and force the enemy to reveal its flaws.

Since Rhodes only had six parts of spirituality, he only made twenty spirit-sealing bullets.

This is his trump card.

Rhodes returned to the material world, carrying ten thunderstones, fifty real silver bullets, and ten spirit sealing bullets on his body.

He also put poison violet juice and other medicines on the side of his waist.

Everything is ready to go.

Afterwards, according to the address on the letter, he went to the teaching area to find the residence of the ashes diggers in the academy.
