the last king of darkness

Dreamland.

A long time has passed, and the light of the Star Tower is almost extinguished, but the awakening of the [Eye of God] has not yet been completed.

This has never happened before. The Book of Knowledge almost thought that the master was going to fail, but unexpectedly saw the master walking out of the Star Clock Tower at the last moment.

The light of [God's Eye] flashes in the dream, and it has been fully awakened. This is the third star awakened by the master. From this moment on, the master already has the strength of 7 fundamental sources.

"Master, you finally came out. I thought you were going to fail... What happened to you? Why did it take so long?"

The Book of Knowledge turned the pages excitedly, jumped on Rhodes' shoulders, and kept touching his cheek with the pages to confirm that the power of the stars was flashing in the owner's soul.

Rhodes smiled and picked up the back of the book and took it away.

"There was a little accident, but I solved it with unparalleled wisdom, so don't worry."

Although he said this, he still told the Book of Knowledge in detail what he encountered in the dream.

Especially the strange sense of isolation in the illusion.

The Book of Knowledge jumped down and leaned at Rhodes' feet, turning the pages unconsciously.

"Master, the illusion of the Star Clock Tower is very special. It cannot be simply regarded as an illusion. It is a fragment of time and space, a remnant of time, and an infinite echo of the will of the past... Perhaps, precisely because of this, the Star The clock tower cannot fully reproduce the power of the Supreme Quasi-King and the Strongest Holy Fire. Their power is too powerful and they are infinitely close to gods, so you have that strange feeling of discomfort."

Rhodes nodded and didn't care, as long as he could wake up the stars.

The Book of Knowledge paused for a moment and then said: "As for the distortion of the illusion, I have a feeling that this is some kind of deterioration of the black mist. It is trying to affect the entire river of time, twisting all human victory into failure, and turning what was originally a gradual process into a failure. The slight fire drags towards the abyss."

Rhodes' heart sank, and unknowingly, he felt a strange sense of urgency.

"I have to quickly recover the fragments of the dream."

Rhodes thought.

"When a few more powerful men above the half-king level are born in Trolian, I can go to another ancestor cemetery to find the giant king Omir."

With his thoughts settled, he left the dreamland directly.

Empire.

When Rhodes opened his eyes again, twelve hours had passed.

He has gone from noon on the first day to morning on the second day.

This span of time was long enough for Trollian's defense to collapse three times. It was precisely because of this that he did not awaken the [Eye of God] immediately, but chose to seek help from Saint Lund.

There is no doubt that this decision is extremely correct.

"Hey, my wisdom seems to have grown along with my strength."

Rhodes stood up and walked out of the room. Just as he was about to leave the royal city, he ran into Rhine.

The water-like psychic energy surrounding him had dispersed, and he could clearly see his face, which was a slightly weathered but still full of vigor. His eyebrows were like swords, his cheeks were shaved, and he had a strange, flowing gray hair. , wearing pale white armor and no weapons, but the gauntlets on his hands were extremely ferocious and conspicuous.

"This should be his soul weapon."

Rhodes thought, noticing the faint soul ripples on his gauntlet.

The doll said in the dream: "Master, he has just returned from the Eastern Front. When you awakened the stars, Trorian experienced three more rounds of attacks, from the east, southeast, and southwest, with a total of more than 1 black mist The symbiote and 32 black mist incarnations attacked us, Rhine alone defended two fronts, and Taro, Olivia, Dark Moon and many kings defended the other line."

Before Rhodes returned to the dream, he had already summoned the phantom and had the puppet possess it to assist the Royal City Army's war department in commanding.

During the battle between humans and demons, Dalin and everyone in the Military War Department already knew that Rhodes' phantom had extremely powerful command capabilities, wisdom that they could not match, and a terrifyingly sharp intuition. Therefore, everyone trusted him very much. It, all battle situations are handled by it, they only do collaboration and auxiliary work.

This method is extremely convenient. Not only can the doll exert its full capabilities, but Rhodes can also instantly know the entire situation, making it easier for him to make the next decision.

"Your Excellency Rhine."

Rhodes bowed politely.

"What a blessing to you. Trorian will never forget your honor."

Rhine looked serious and looked at Rhodes with sharp eyes. After a moment, he said: "Sir Rhodes, you have become stronger."

Rhodes asked in surprise: "Did you notice it?"

Rhine slightly nodded: "As soon as I came back, I sensed a new disturbance in the royal city. Just now, I came over and saw that it was you. In just one day, the number of fundamental sources you control increased from 5 to 7. As a result, your basic spiritual energy strength has increased sharply from 1500 million kilometres to nearly 2000 million kilometres. Such a growth rate is also rare among Saint Longde."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Human life is like this. I often suddenly become stronger after sleeping. Maybe my ability is to become stronger while sleeping."

Rhine smiled faintly, his expression looking a little intriguing.

"Sir Rhodes, I heard from His Majesty Qingyu that you want to travel?"

Rhodes nodded. He had already told Qingyu about this. In addition to the phantoms of the dolls, he also left several phantoms in the royal city. If something unexpected happened and it was inconvenient for him to come back, he could project his power. in these phantoms.

I have to say that this ability of [Wind Phantom] is really useful.

Rhodes always wanted to use multiple shadow clones to fight in the past. This was a complete misunderstanding. The phantoms needed to be controlled by himself, and his soul was also needed to support the consumption of spiritual energy. In this way, the combat power could not be exerted under such a distraction. Not as good as one person.

Treating the phantom as a vessel for advent is the correct way to use it.

Rhine asked: "Why? Going deep into the darkness in the eternal night is very dangerous."

Rhodes said solemnly: "This is related to my promotion. I need to find my lost... uh, strength in the darkness."

A trace of surprise flashed in Rhine's eyes, and he sighed softly: "It's unimaginable. You are so special, more special than all the human beings we have seen in the past. Perhaps, this is why you are called the black rice bucket. reason."

Rhodes frowned slightly. He felt that Rhine's words were not as simple as they seemed, and seemed to mean something.

That faint smile appeared on Rhine's face again, which softened his sharpness. This feeling reminded him of another person, Alan, the first knight of Trolian.

Before the war between humans and demons, Alan had already set out to find the sacred stone and the road to the main continent. He had lost contact with Trolian a few months ago and had never restored it.

Now, eternal night has fallen, and Alan's situation has become extremely dangerous, but Trorian tried all means and failed to find Alan.

So much time has passed and rescue is no longer possible. The only thing they can do is to pray that their first knight can come back safely.

"Sir Rhodes."

Rhine's voice woke up Rhodes who was deep in thought.

"In the near future, official assistance from Saint Lund will arrive. I believe that at that time, Trorian will be completely free from the threat of Eternal Night. At that time, I hope that you can serve as Trorian's representative. I return to St. Ronde.”

Rhodes was slightly startled. He hadn't thought that far yet, and Rhine's suggestion was beyond his expectation.

But after thinking about it, he found that this suggestion was extremely reasonable.

As long as he reaches Saint Lund, he can contact another holy fire. In this case, his [Spirit Boat] portal can be used between the two holy fire sacrificial sites?

With the portal, the long distance of more than 11 yards is no longer an obstacle to them, and the terrifying black area cannot stop them. The two kingdoms can communicate without hindrance. Shenglong Germany can directly support Trollian without taking huge risks.

Rhine once told him that the obstacle between Saint Lund and Trolian was terrible.

A huge black area filled with the original black mist cut off their access. It was an area that even the strong people at the beginning were not willing to easily set foot in. His arrival came at a huge price. Their prophetic city, even For this reason, the great prophecy was interrupted in order to find a safe path for him.

And this prophesied path can only be used once.

The environment of the Black Territory is changing rapidly. The once safe road may become extremely dangerous the next moment. If you want to bypass the Black Territory, the distance will be much longer, probably more than 20 yards.

You know, 11 yards is just the straight-line distance between two points. In this case, the significance of the portal becomes extremely important.

Not only can Saint Ronde's supporters arrive immediately, but their supplies can no longer be restricted by space and distance, and can be tilted infinitely into Trorian.

With this kind of assistance, Trorian's rise will be stronger and faster.

Not only that, Rhodes can even establish a connection with Arno. You know, Arno is close to 10 yards away from Trolian, and the distance from St. Lund is more than 20 yards. .

After hearing Rhode's thoughts, Rhine smiled and said: "Sir Rhodes, your wisdom is really unparalleled, but you made a mistake. The distance between us and Arno is much further than you imagined. The distance between us and Trolian There is only a part of the Black Territory between us, but half of the main continent is separated between us and Arno. If we walk normally, Arno would have to go around 40 yards to reach Saint Lund."

"Such a long distance requires us to pay a huge price for every contact with Arno. The initial black fog completely distorted the psychic transmission. Therefore, we can usually only contact once a year. In special cases, In some cases, there is even contact only once every 2 to 3 years.”

"But it's different with you. When I crossed the portal, I felt that this was a space crossing that was beyond common sense. Although it was only a distance of 3000 yards, it ignored all obstacles and was not affected by the black fog. It’s a space jump in the true sense. I simply can’t imagine that such a powerful ability is just one of your many origins.”

Rhodes smiled slightly. He knew that although the [Spirit Boat] was just an ordinary star, it, like the giant star, also came from the supreme powerhouses.

Although its spiritual power is weak, its ability is not weak at all.

[Reaching directly to the other side of the starry sky] may be more than just a description in [Spirit Boat].

"I know, I'm looking forward to that day." Rod said with a smile.

Rhine's eyes were also filled with expectation.

For him, there were few such expectations except for the King of Arno.

Perhaps, this is the future of mankind.

With Rhodes as the link.

"Sir Rhodes."

Rhine looked at him like he was looking at the rising sun, "Do you need any help in the search process?"

Rhodes smiled and said, "I will tell you if necessary."

Rhine stretched out his hand: "It's a deal."

"It's a word."

The two hands were held tightly together, like two civilizations embracing each other.

We all have a better tomorrow.

At this moment, the same thought came to the two people's minds.

The location of the dream fragment is not too far away.

According to the display of the Celestial Sphere Clock, it should be deep in the dark plains, in a Gobi desert obscured by thick black fog.

The straight-line distance is about 1 yards.

Of course, for the former Trorian, this was a very far distance, belonging to the "extreme depths of the dark world."

But after getting in touch with Saint Lund, what he heard and recounted was hundreds of thousands of words.

In this comparison, 1 yards does not seem far away.

In fact, if there was no hindrance from the black mist and Rhode set up the spirit boat and rushed on the road with all his strength, he would be able to arrive in half an hour at most.

However, the black fog hinders speed extremely, and the thicker the black fog, the more so.

Because the faster the speed, the more black mist hits, and if the erosion exceeds a certain limit, even the fire will be extinguished.

Therefore, what determines the moving speed of a strong man in the black mist is actually the strength of his own protection.

It’s no wonder that Rhine rushed from St. Ronde to Trorian and spent most of his spiritual energy.

After awakening [Crimson Tears], Rhodes has the ability to directly protect against black mist erosion. It is supported by spiritual energy. The greater the spiritual energy input, the stronger the protective effect.

Therefore, for a long time, Rhodes traveled without bringing red tear stones, lanterns or guardian fires.

But this time was different. To be cautious, Rhodes brought a lantern with a protective fire.

Sure enough, after he penetrated deep into the dark plain, the concentration of the black mist increased sharply, and soon reached the level of the black mist of the source. But this was not the end, there was also a huge difference in intensity between the black mist of the source.

According to Rhine, the older the black mist, the more powerful it is. The original black mist can even extinguish the holy fire, and even the original strong men will perish if they step into it.

Although Rhodes did not encounter such terrifying black fog, he could clearly feel that the space around him was gradually becoming deeper and darker.

The real, undiluted black fog is as dark as space.

Their spread is like snapping a piece of space into space and dyeing it black.

At this moment, Rhodes seemed to be flying in the depths of the universe. The dark space completely enveloped him, and an extremely terrifying twisted force was constantly eroding his protective red light.

Soon, Rhodes discovered that [Red Tears] was almost unbearable.

He must inject all his spiritual energy to stop the erosion of the black mist, but in this case, he will not be able to fly.

As a last resort, he could only take out the lantern containing the protective fire from the dream.

The moment the firelight illuminated him, Rhodes felt that the endless pressure disappeared instantly. Although the firelight could not spread even half of his body surface, with its blessing, the red light of [Red Tears] was greatly enhanced. .

Rhodes felt that he only needed one-tenth of his spiritual energy to withstand the erosion of the black mist.

"Is this fire?"

For the first time, Rhodes realized the significance of its existence so deeply.

All means of fighting the black mist are not one-tenth as effective as it.

The Book of Knowledge whispered: "Perhaps, this is why the Era of Fire replaced the Ancient Era."

Rhodes nodded and hung the lantern on his waist.

Under the protection of the Guardian Fire and [Red Tears], he increased his speed again and rushed towards the target.

1 days later.

Rhodes finally arrived at the coordinates displayed by the "Celestial Sphere Clock".

Looking around, the visual distance of the Soul Eye was less than 100 yards. Endless darkness shrouded everything, but it could not block his connection with the dream fragments.

"right here."

shouted the Book of Knowledge.

"Except for special shielding, nothing can block the connection between dreams and dream fragments!"

Rhodes felt the call in his soul and walked in that direction.
