the last king of darkness

Chapter 90 The Second Invasion

When Rhodes woke up again, the clock had reached its No. 11 o'clock.

There is another clock hour, which is the evening time when the sun goes down.

It was at this time that the last invasion occurred.

Checked his own state, he was full of energy and spiritual energy.

Just a little hungry.

Well, even if you die, you have to be a dead ghost.

Rhodes left the room and went downstairs, cheers erupted in the crowded tavern.

"Rod!"

"Rod!"

"Our Rhodes!"

"Black idiot Rhodes!"

The residents of the Iron Cross neighborhood are very hospitable (really), and have great affection for every soldier who guards them.

According to the statistics of the society, on average, only one fire bearer will be born in every 300 people. For those who do not have the power of fire, every fire bearer is a legend worth yearning for.

They tapped the table neatly, each raising his glass to him.

They all tried to touch his hand, or anywhere on his body, as he passed.

This is a custom here. Touching the warriors who guard them will bring them good luck, and they will be rescued in time when monsters invade.

And every time a girl came up, they would give out even more sensational cheers.

Rhodes will take the initiative to hug them——

This is the experience he has gained during this period of time. In the eyes of ordinary girls, the fire bearers are superior, and they are not qualified to be favored by him. If Rhodes avoids or keeps a distance, it will be considered contempt and contempt. hurt them.

The best way is to give them a warm hug.

If you want to spend the night with them, you can have some more intimate gestures, and if they respond, it means they agree.

Generally speaking, don’t show love to many people, but if it’s you, many people are fine too——When the proprietress of the tavern said the last sentence, she looked at him faintly with peach-like eyes, and she almost missed the word “I” It's inserted.

Of course, Rhodes was not in the mood, and he might consider it later, so he just shook her white and tender hand and gave her a polite hug.

Just like now.

The proprietress sighed faintly, and skillfully prepared for him the goulash with creamy potatoes that he eats most often.

A man knocked on the table and shouted: "Sasha! Why doesn't my plate of beef even have half of his?"

The proprietress gave him an annoyed look, put the plate full of beef in front of Rhodes, and walked away coquettishly twisting her waist.

There were whistles in the tavern, and the chaotic shouts were connected together. This was a rare time for them to relax-when the weather was bad, the affairs hall would strictly restrict residents from going out.

In addition to going to work in the Seamans workshop, they can only stay at home most of the time, and they only have such an opportunity for several days.

And Rhodes would spend a certain amount of time almost every day, come to the tavern and tell some unheard jokes with everyone, bringing joy to their ordinary days.

This is also the time that the residents here are most looking forward to, and they can have close contact with their legendary stars.

But just as everyone was expecting this, the affairs officer of Iron Cross Street broke in and shouted: "Everyone go home immediately! There will be a curfew in a quarter of an hour, and violators will be fined fifty silver ropes and ten days of confinement!"

The fifty silver cable was equivalent to a week's wages, and everyone was quite disappointed, so they had to curse and drink and eat the food on the plate, and left under the urging of the secretary.

Rhodes was soon the only one left in the crowded tavern.

The curfew was only for ordinary people, the firemen were in charge of specialized agencies, and Rhodes was already equivalent to an official combatant, unless there were special prohibitions, he would be unimpeded in the lower city.

The affairs officers greeted politely: "Mr. Rhodes, please take it easy. It's a foggy day during this period. Please be careful when performing the sewer cleaning task. We're leaving first, goodbye."

Rhodes nodded, quickly finished the beef stew with no potatoes, and drank the mushroom wine handed by the proprietress in one breath, and said:
"Thank you, Miss Sasha, you are really beautiful today, and your craftsmanship is as good as ever. I am very happy to eat the food you made. I hope I will have the opportunity next time. I have to go back and rest quickly. There are more important things tonight Task, I hope you will not let anyone disturb me."

He took a step forward, gently hugged the happy, sad and reluctant proprietress, and quickly went upstairs.

-

After returning to the dreamland, Rhodes felt better than ever. He prepared everything and quietly waited for the invasion.

At the moment when the thickest pointer passed the evening hour, the long-awaited invasion finally arrived.

At this moment, the entire dream changed color, the rolling gray mist in the distance was gradually blackened, and the dark red sky appeared above the head at some point.

The diffuse red light gradually enveloped the dreamland. It was flickering slightly, as if the world outside the dream was a heart, and the blood flooded it. The flickering red light was the pulse of the heart. Rhodes seemed to feel that an incomprehensible strange existence was coming Peeping at him from outside the dream.

Rhode's heart tightened for a moment, even his breathing froze, and his spirit became highly tense.

He gripped the spirit gun "Raven" tightly with one hand, which was filled with spirit-sealing bullets.

One hand clenched the ashes of the soul and the whistle, and the ashes bag filled with thunderstones and the "Guardian of the Darkness" were hung on his waist.

The eyes of the soul had been activated long ago, but did not find any changes. There was no difference between the dream and what the naked eye saw, until a pure red shadow penetrated from the edge of the dream.

Yes, the dream has an edge, which is a red film, like the inner wall of a blood vessel.

The red shadow was like blood seeping in from the inner wall of a blood vessel.

The shadow quickly solidified, as if it was filled with blood emitting a dark red light. It was a tall human figure, the diffuse red light could not see the face and details clearly, only a huge long hook on his back.

His psychic energy was a rare dark red, completely obscuring the color and waveform of his soul.

In the eyes of the soul, several lines of text appeared.

Hunt the Red Spirit Togg
Genre: Nightmare

Threat: death

Soul Traits: Hunting
Danger: True vision, see through all disguises and illusions.

-

The moment it appeared, Rhodes threw the ashes of the soul out.

The group of agglomerates emitting faint light exploded in mid-air, fine dust flew all over the sky, and a huge deformed spider in the shape of a spirit body appeared.

Dots of black threads rolled in the spirit body of the Deformed Demon Spider, and its compound eyes emitted a frightening red light. The moment it landed, it rushed towards the nearest hunting red spirit.

Rhodes raised the gun at the same time, and in just a second, the charge was completed, and the sealing bullet shot out quickly, hitting the red spirit.

boom!
The bullet smashed into powder, but the red spirit was unscathed, and the operation of psychic energy didn't even stop for half a second.

The shot seemed to wake it up.

Hong Ling took off the long hook on his back, and stabbed the deformed spider that swooped forward like lightning.

A red light flashed on the long hook, and the deformed spider was instantly torn apart.

In less than a second, a level-one monster was killed.

At this time, Rhodes didn't even fully charge the second spirit gun.

The red spirit rushed towards him, pulling out a long red shadow in the air at extremely high speed.

Rhodes didn't know well, and he only had time to crush the "Guardian of the Darkness" before being pierced through the chest by the long hook.

His eyes went dark, and severe pain pierced through his soul. With a scream, Rhodes straightened up from the bed, his head hurting like it was about to split open.

He was beaten back into the physical world again!
But fortunately, Rhodes remembered the experience from last time. He put the poison violet juice in his mouth for pain relief, and when he bit it suddenly, the bitter and sour taste quickly spread in his mouth.

The severe pain subsided in the sour taste, and the soul recovered from the sour taste. Rhodes pressed his hands on the table and gasped for breath.

It took a while before I got my mind back.

How could this be?
Rhodes couldn't believe that he was so well prepared this time, that it was exactly the same as last time, and he was instantly killed when he met.

The only difference is that he crushed the "Guardian of Darkness" before he died, which can protect the obelisk from harm.

Otherwise, the obelisk, which still has cracks to this day, is likely to be destroyed.

How to do?
Rhodes calmed down a little bit, turned his head, and felt a mild pain in his mind.

It was very regular, and it was obviously the attack of the red spirit.

"Guardian of the Darkness" should last for a while.

Maybe, he can take the opportunity to get the summoned objects together, and then sneak attack from behind, just like last time.

Rhodes pinched the lightning gesture.

With a flicker of sight, he has come to the dreamland, and he is standing where he is.

In the distance, the Red Spirit is attacking the obelisk violently.

A dark shell protects it, but it's not known how long it will last.

The bag full of ashes of the soul fell on his feet. Rhodes picked up the bag, input spiritual energy, and threw all the ashes at the red spirit at once.

Nineteen clusters of ashes exploded in mid-air, four deformed spiders, a necromancer hound, and fourteen face-hugging poisonous insects emerged from the air.

The moment they appeared, instead of attacking the Red Spirit, they fought each other.

This is why Rhodes didn't throw out all the ashes of the soul at first, they are polluted and will only attack the nearest object.

The hundreds of slender legs of the deformed demon spider crazily fought each other, the sharp claws of the death hounds clawed at the poisonous insects, and the face-hugging poisonous insects jumped up and sprayed venom everywhere.

None of them attacked the Red Spirit.

wipe!
Can you guys be a little smarter?

Rhodes dismissed the plan to summon the phantom, quickly bypassed the monster group, and hit the red spirit with one shot.

The spirit-sealing bullet still hadn't taken effect, but it attracted its attention.

Rhodes quickly moved back, trying to hide behind the monster group, thereby attracting the red spirit.

However, in the next moment, there was a pain in his chest.

The long hook had already pierced through the chest, and the red spirit appeared behind him at some point.

wipe!
Rhodes only had time to spit out this word, and was beaten back to the material world.

The severe mental pain couldn't even be concealed by poisonous viola juice. The world in front of Rhodes seemed to be split, and his eyes were always shaking unconsciously, unable to find focus.

Clearly, the two deaths took a toll on his psyche.

Fortunately, Rhodes was prepared and immediately drank the spirit tree dew. It can calm the mind and restore the abnormal state of mind.

The cold feeling spread in the soul, and the spirit gradually stabilized. Rhodes felt better, immediately pinched the lightning symbol, and returned to the dreamland for the third time.

As soon as I returned to the dream, I saw the Red Spirit fighting among the monsters. It was extremely fast and fierce. The monster he summoned was killed like a destructive monster. It was vulnerable to a single blow and died in just ten seconds. It's almost halfway done.

no solution anymore.

Rhodes blew his whistle, and a tall phantom appeared before his eyes.

He was wearing a long robe, had a long white beard, and had a gentle and kind face. He was holding a staff in his hand. He was exactly the same as Headmaster Theodore, but it was not real, like a three-dimensional shadow.

Phantom glanced at Rhodes, then looked around, his eyes seemed confused.

"Attack that red spirit body!"

Rhodes gave the order.

The headmaster's shadow nodded, raised his staff, made a big jump, and slashed hard, hitting Hong Ling's head.

boom!
This blow was so powerful that the Red Spirit fell to the ground on the spot, and its psychic energy was obviously sluggish. This was the first time Rhodes saw it get hurt!

The chief dean is amazing!

Rhodes shouted: "Don't worry about those monsters, just attack that red spirit!"

The headmaster's shadow nodded slightly, jumped back lightly, and got out of the way of a poisonous bug's face-hugging attack.

The poisonous insect jumped into the air and could only turn around to attack the red spirit.

And the Red Spirit doesn't seem to have any IQ, it will turn around and hit anyone who attacks it.

It shredded the poisonous bug with one hook, and once again joined the melee of monsters.

The Phantom, on the other hand, held the staff and walked slowly outside the circle. It was not in a hurry to attack, but was waiting for the opportunity.

As soon as he finds out, he will jump up and hit the red spirit with a heavy slash, and he can always jump away before the opponent's counterattack.

Too fierce!
This phantom is simply a lifesaver!
Rhodes was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly picked up his thunderstone bag, licked the crimson powder, and rushed to all the thunderstones with his spiritual energy.

He wants to fill up all the Leishi's energy at once, and then blow up that intruder!
However, although Rhodes is much stronger than before, it is obviously beyond his limit.

There were thirty thunderstones in the gray bag, which absorbed his spiritual energy in the blink of an eye, and because his spiritual energy was not strong enough, the charging effect was very poor.

At this time, Rhodes decisively used [Awakening].

With a thought, the blue star instantly illuminated the dark night of his soul.

Infinite power seemed to rise from his chest, powerful spiritual energy gushed out, and poured into the thirty thunderstones, the lightning-like patterns lit up one by one, and the aura of destruction could not be covered even by the gray bags that restricted them.

Time passed by, the monsters were all dead, and the phantom of the headmaster had to face the red spirit.

Although Phantom's intelligence is much higher than that of Hong Ling, the huge gap in strength still puts it at a disadvantage.

Hong Ling's speed is extremely fast, and he can teleport, his shots are as swift as wind and thunder.

Phantom is far behind in every aspect, but with its powerful heavy smash, it can always put together a move or two.

Knowing that the time would not be too long, Rhodes desperately activated his spiritual energy, and finally lit up all thirty Thunderstones.

He had to throw it out as soon as possible, otherwise Lei Shi's energy would fade.

"Can you entangle him?" Rhodes shouted.

The phantom didn't respond, and Rhodes thought it couldn't understand such a complicated order.

Unexpectedly, when the Red Spirit attacked next time, Phantom suddenly pounced on it, and the long hook suddenly pierced through its body.

But the Phantom held on to it, too.

"it is good!"

Rhodes threw out the gray bag with all his strength.

"You are simply my savior!"

boom!
The bullet tore the ashes bag into shreds, the Thunderstone's regulator failed, and the thirty Thunderstones emitted a huge thunder light together.
