the last king of darkness

The news from Saint Lund, the Kingdom of Fire, was like a ballast stone, finally calming down the minds of everyone who was tossed in the stormy waves.

In this dark land, there is nothing more reassuring than news from our fellow citizens.

Rhodes also quickly figured out the reason for the interruption of the psychic matrix.

It's not that he is mentally exhausted, but that the World Clock is tired. Under the high-intensity spiritual energy operation, its internal psychic induction has caused psychic fatigue and spiritual disorder. Therefore, the feedback to Rhodes' spirit is fatigue. a feeling of.

After detailed inspection, scholars told Rhodes that the World Clock would need to be adjusted for 8 to 12 hours before it could be started again.

There is no doubt that this work is given the highest priority.

Wangcheng mobilized all the resources it could mobilize to complete the restoration of the World Clock.

The waiting time was undoubtedly excruciating, but fortunately, after investing massive resources and manpower, scholars and researchers completed the renovation of the World Clock in only 6 hours.

Almost immediately, Rhodes activated the psychic matrix again and made contact with Saint Lund.

This time, both sides were prepared.

Saint Lund dispatched a very high-level communication team. It is said that everyone in the communication team is a member of the highest order in the Church of Holy Fire.

In a brief exchange, Rhodes learned that Saint Ronde is the same institution as Saint Reyer. The Church of Holy Fire is the only and highest church in Saint Ronde. It rules everything from top to bottom. The Holy Emperor of Fire He is the leader of the church and the guardian of the sacred fire.

A voice called the "Patriarch" told him that this matter passed the special judgment of the Holy Emperor of Fire at the first time. The highest religious group did not have time to vote, and the aid vanguard had already set off.

If nothing else happens, he will reach Trolian in a short time.

The Vanguard is one of the top strongmen in Saint Lund and should be able to temporarily help Trollian stabilize the situation.

The official assistance team will set off after making all preparations.

After that, the two sides had a detailed exchange of information on Trorian's specific location, detailed coordinates, and surrounding threats, and confirmed that there were no problems. This is the most important thing. It is very difficult to get lost in the depths of the dark world. dangerous.

Even they are not willing to take risks easily.

Rhodes originally wanted to ask further, but the World Clock reached its limit again.

Along with a roaring vibration, a huge crack appeared on the surface of the World Clock.

The psychic matrix was instantly interrupted, and scattered psychic sparks spread all over the body of the World Clock.

University scholar Ward shouted anxiously: "No, the World Clock cannot withstand the impact pressure of psychic energy and cracks!"

The bald master shouted from the top of the clock: "Part of the psychic sensing crystal is broken, and the internal psychic circuit is disconnected. There is a problem with our structure."

One scholar muttered: "If the adjustment is not completed, then there will be no problem!"

Rovia was anxious and angry: "Why are you still talking about these nonsense? Fix it for me quickly!"

Ward checked for a moment, and his expression turned gray.

"Lord, Lord Rovia, the World Clock has been severely damaged and may not be repaired in a short time..."

Rovia said angrily: "The Royal City has spent so many resources, and you just produced a half-finished product?"

Rhodes waved his hand to interrupt him. Although the World Clock was damaged and it was a pity that he could no longer contact Saint Lund, the key information had been sent out and the rescue team would arrive soon.

Therefore, strictly speaking, its mission has been completed. Even if it cannot be repaired for a while, the impact will not be significant.

"You should try your best to cultivate. If you need anything, please tell me or Qingyu directly."

Ward said sadly: "I understand, Mr. Rhodes."

Turn around and return to the World Clock, which is wrapped in chaotic spiritual energy turbulence, and get back into the intense repair project.

Rhodes forcibly dragged Rovia back to the Holy Fire Sacrifice. This guy had a bad temper and didn't understand psychic skills. Staying there would only cause trouble.

"Little Rod."

As soon as he came back, he heard Qingyu's slightly depressed voice.

"The City of Wind has been attacked by the incarnation of the black mist again. I have already let Olivia and Dark Moon pass."

Rhodes' heart sank, knowing that under the eternal night, only the semi-king-level powerhouses who have mastered the root source of the black mist incarnation can fight against it. The king has no root source, no source of spiritual energy, and no matter how powerful the spiritual energy is, he is no match.

The Black Mist Incarnation is a higher-level Black Mist symbiote. It is deeper than the Black Mist Symbiote in terms of the purity of the Black Mist corruption. Generally speaking, the Black Mist Incarnation is stronger than the Black Mist Symbiote and has more terrifying pollution and erosion capabilities. , higher spiritual energy and source law strength, similar to the foul blood god without the blessing of the Kingdom of God.

However, the Black Mist Symbiote is not necessarily weaker than the Black Mist Incarnation.

Some special black mist symbionts have more powerful power, like the Blood God of Filth. Although it is an ancient god, it can only be regarded as a black mist symbiote in terms of the depth of black mist corruption, but its strength exceeds Most Black Mist symbiotes and Black Mist avatars in general.

However, for monsters born from pure black mist, the purity, concentration and depth of the black mist determine everything. In this case, the black mist incarnation must be stronger than the black mist symbiote.

This is what worries Rhodes the most. Currently, Trorian has encountered a large number of such black mist symbionts and black mist incarnations born from pure black mist. In the past, they have never appeared in areas where humans are active. , they are only born in countless areas that have been silent under the black mist.

This gave him a feeling that in the distance that he could not see, the deepest, darkest, and most terrifying black fog was approaching Trolian.

These black mist condensations that had been silent for thousands of years also appeared in front of them.

The most terrifying thing is that he has not harvested a single soul so far.

And he clearly remembered that a long time ago, when killing certain black mist symbionts, one could harvest souls. The Book of Knowledge told him: "If the derivatives and derivatives are too far away from the source body, they will be transformed into independent innate bodies and evolve into real souls, so that they will be harvested by the master. However, if the source body is nearby, their The soul is still virtual, and all power is controlled by the source body, so the master cannot harvest their souls."

Rhodes frowned. If this was the case, wouldn't it mean that some kind of terrifying source of black mist had arrived nearby?

Just like Amirada.

However, both the Star Devourer Amidala and the Black Mist Demon are already severely weakened and pose little threat to them.

So, are there some that haven't been nerfed?

Thinking about this, Rhodes became nervous again, but he did not express his worries. Instead, he said with relief: "Don't worry, St. Ronde's help will arrive soon, as long as they can help us hold on to the situation." , Trorian will be promoted again soon, you know, our potential is huge."

Qingyu's beautiful eyebrows curved, revealing a faint smile: "Yes, little Rhodes, your comfort is so effective every time. Trolian is lucky to have you."

Rhodes smiled: "Thank you for each of us."

Qingyu's smile became happy: "Yes, when the situation calms down, we will create another person."

Bai Lang, A Luo, and Rovia all just smiled, as if this sentence was normal. Only Rhodes was embarrassed - he was not used to mentioning anything related to childbirth in public.

Although he is now called Wang Fu, there is actually no time to hold the fire ceremony with Qingyu, so strictly speaking, they are still an unmarried couple.

Since the war between humans and demons, Trorian has not calmed down for a few days. Everyone has not even had time to settle down. The situation is too tense, especially after the arrival of Eternal Night.

The most troublesome thing now is that the original defense system has gradually failed. The Great Wall of Black Mist can no longer block monsters. The portal effect of the four major cities has been greatly weakened. Many places within Trorian have been reduced to war zones, and the defense force has been stretched. Dispersion reduces efficiency.

This is why everyone feels uneasy. As long as the next round of black tide comes, Trolian will be in huge difficulties again.

In fact, Ietta has already warned that the White Tower has observed a huge amount of black mist symbionts gathering. The next round of black tide will come soon, and they will be even more powerful.

"I hope we can hold on until St. Ronde's support arrives."

Rhodes prayed silently in his heart.

"As long as it can give me a breath of relief..."

Rhodes is only one step away from digesting the soul and divinity that he has harvested for a long time.

The huge improvement in the dreamland was right in front of him, but he couldn't escape.

The same goes for Trorian. Over such a long period of time, they have accumulated a huge amount of resources. Whether it is the three spiritual elements, the flesh and blood of gods, the deified source materials, and the sacred stones, they have all reached an unprecedented level. high.

All kinds of resources are also abundant, especially spiritual flowers and spiritual grass. Under the careful management of the book of knowledge, the sea of ​​flowers in the dreamland has a huge harvest almost every day. The fruits of the holy white tree are already in the center of the sea of ​​flowers. It grew up and became a "towering tree" hundreds of yards high. The rich breath of life echoed in the dream, making everyone (except Asa) feel relaxed and happy.

The only problem is that, except for the "mortals" below the Herrscher, almost all warriors who can be called strong are involved in the battle. Even so, reports for help are coming like snowflakes. In the military war department, every day There are thousands of such messages to process.

Even if it can be "filtered" into Qingyu's hands, there are still dozens of copies.

Approximately more than a hundred Herrschers are born in Trolian every day. Almost as soon as they complete their promotion, they are snatched away by various battle groups or strongholds, and they cannot even keep them for a moment.

For Qingyu who can know the whole picture, such anxiety is unimaginable, especially since she has to shoulder the important task of guarding the Holy Fire. In the spiritual world, the black mist symbiote attacking the projection of the Holy Fire has almost never stopped for a moment.

Fortunately, with the help of Wang's power, Qingyu left an incarnation of fire in the spirit world, otherwise she would not even have time to talk to Rhodes.

But the power of the incarnation of fire is limited after all. Once the situation becomes critical, Qingyu must immediately return to the holy fire and enter the spiritual world with his body to fight.

At this time, the important task of guarding the royal city fell on Rhodes.

The Royal City is the gateway to the north of Trolian, directly adjacent to the Black Mist Great Plains. It is the core hub of the Northern Great Wall. After the completion of the "Eternal Refuge" plan, Trolian directly expanded the second half of the Royal City. He came and built the city across the Dead Ember Mountains and under the dark plains in the north.

In this way, the royal city straddles the Dead Ember Mountains and is directly adjacent to the Dark Plains, taking on most of the pressure for the defense in the north.

Although Trolian's overall defense has been reduced, the risk has also increased. The royal city cannot be lost no matter what. You must know that beyond the northern wall of the royal city, there is the Holy Fire Sacrifice Field behind it.

Therefore, at this time, Rhodes can no longer leave the royal city, unless there are half-king-level strong men guarding the royal city.

Rhodes thought more than once that if there were three more half-kings in Trolian who controlled the fundamental source, or two, or even one more, he would be able to venture out and collect the fragments of the dream.

It is precisely because of this that he is actually the one among Trolians who most hopes for the support of Saint Lund.

For such a powerful Fire Nation, the strong people supporting it must not be weak, right? At least he's a half-king with multiple roots, right?

Rhodes waited anxiously, looking into the distant dark depths with the eyes of his soul countless times, even though he knew that the supporters could not come so quickly. After all, Saint Lund was more than 11 yards away from Trolian!

According to common sense, such a long distance would take at least seven days.

However, what he didn't expect was that just one day later, he saw an extremely powerful spiritual energy crossing the sky at an unimaginable speed and falling into the royal city.

"This, how is this possible?"

Rhodes could hardly believe his eyes. The power of this spiritual energy was far beyond his limit. He had only felt this majestic, deep, and unmatched feeling from humans and demons.

However, it is not as terrifying as the human demon. It has not broken through the shackles of level 17 and reached the legendary level 18, but it is not far away. It seems to be in the critical state of level 17, between level 17 and level 18.

The most important thing is that this spiritual energy is completely different from the cold, dark, and chaotic monsters. It has temperature, order, and brilliance. It is a spiritual energy controlled by the human soul!

This is the top powerhouse from Saint Lund!

He almost immediately withdrew from the battlefield and rushed back to the Holy Fire Sacrifice - he could clearly see that the figure was falling straight towards the Holy Fire.

With his speed, it only took him half a second to see the mysterious strong man.

His whole body was enveloped in a wave-like aura, and a terrifying aura from the depths of the world emanated from him. He was standing in front of the holy fire, bowing slightly to Qingyu.

"The first knight of the Holy Fire Church of Saint Ronde, the Indestructible Wandering Light, the Sword of the King of Steel Fire, and the Holy Rhine, say hello to the King of Trolian."
