The Last Dark King

Latest website: During the day, theoretical knowledge class.

Different from the soft and superficial knowledge they had learned in the academy before, the burly man Churchill and the black-robed woman Priscilla took turns instilling in them extremely hard-core truths about the world, fire and soul.

Rhodes only now knows how much effort and sacrifice the humans of Trolian have made in pursuing knowledge and truth related to survival.

They frantically seek the truth of history, trying to find answers to survival and avoid the causes of destruction.

They frantically seek any means of truth that might help them survive, even if there is little hope.

It is precisely because of this that, in such an extraordinary environment, there is still room for research on physics, mathematics and conventional weapons.

It is precisely for this reason that there are so many schools of thought in the royal city, and everyone is seeking the path and truth that can save the world.

Although there is only one academy of fire bearers, there are academies of knowledge everywhere.

In the evening, combat class.

Although the instructor Sauron, a senior knight, looks fair and elegant, he is actually very violent.

He drilled everyone like a mad dog.

Especially Rhodes.

Now he is either running in circles, jumping frog, or being beaten wildly by wooden stakes that can spin in circles every day.

This is of course not corporal punishment, but training on the basis of physical combat - opening up psychic powers and strengthening psychic powers.

The monster's physical strength is very high, and its pervading spiritual energy is always in a state of defense and offense. If you want to fight the monster in close combat, you need the same super strength and defensive capabilities.

Therefore, it is a necessary skill to use turbulent spiritual energy to strengthen oneself to obtain ultra-high speed and strength, and to use stagnant spiritual energy to defend against high-intensity strikes.

In Sauron's eyes, except for Rhodes' use of psychic powers when escaping, which can be scored as 1 point, all other abilities are zero points.

No different than a beginner.

This made Sauron, who was known for being good at monster fighting and close combat, extremely dissatisfied. He yelled at Xiao in the training ground almost every day, almost turning into Emperor Xiao.

"I've said it a hundred times! The turbulence of psychic energy must be as natural as breathing. Is your psychic energy suffering from asthma?"

"Avoke your psychic power the moment you start exerting your power! What are you doing with your psychic power before you exert your power?"

"Do you start to strengthen your psychic power after half of your strength is exerted? Do you want to tickle the monster?"

"Don't keep your psychic defenses open! Are you a target that only gets hit?"

When Sauron said this, it was the most painful time for Rhodes.

Because the rotating wooden pile would protrude a wooden stick from time to time, he needed to deploy his psychic defense to resist the attack the moment the stick hit him.

"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"

As long as Rhodes reacts half a second late, he will be hit hard on the head, arm or thigh with a wooden stick.

This is a real hard hit.

Although doctors who treat trauma are standing by, mental pain cannot be cured.

Moreover, as the number of mistakes increased, Sauron not only did not slow down the rotation speed of the wooden pile, but also sped up.

Rhodes could only fill his body with psychic energy and open up his psychic defense.

But whenever this happens, Sauron will stop him, saying that the only consequence of doing so is to become a useless target and transfer the risk to the teammates behind him.

then.

At the end of the game, Rhodes had to be beaten at least hundreds of times. Although his whole body hurt, there was no trace of scars.

After the combat class is over, other students can rest.

But not Rod, he still has a language course.

The teacher of the language class was unexpectedly Professor Binns, who had explored the sewers with him.

Thanks to the sewer map he gave him, Rod's subsequent sewer journey went very smoothly.

Although Rhodes no longer goes to the sewers, he is still very grateful to him.

Professor Binns also had a very good impression of Rhodes and admired his persistence in language and his research on uncommon ancient languages.

The discussion between the two was very pleasant, and it can even be said that they are close friends.

Although Professor Binns is a scholar of history, he has a very deep study of language.

Here, if you don't understand the language, you can't study history. Historians are not old academics rummaging through piles of old papers. In addition to directly studying documents and antiquities, many scholars even follow expeditions or expeditions to personally explore the ruins.

With his help, Rhodes' understanding and mastery of language systems increased rapidly.

Soon, Rhodes figured out that whether it was common language or various ancient languages, they all belonged to the same language family.

As long as we follow the thread upwards, many languages ​​​​and their variants can be clarified, and Dream Language is no exception.

This is simply great!

Rhodes felt that within a few days, he would be able to unlock the secrets of the dream.

Time always flies when you are busy.

The special training was very hard, but it was also very rewarding. After so long, Rhodes finally set foot on the right fast lane and headed forward.

About ten days later, Rhodes' language ability finally broke through the barrier and reached a new level in one fell swoop.

He finally understood why he was always unable to understand the more complex dream language. In addition to the complex grammatical structures that could be superimposed on each other, it was also because their font structures could also have different meanings.

Rod was able to guess some simple words correctly because it was difficult for them to have other meanings.

But a complex sentence may have thousands of meanings.

Professor Binns admired Rhodes' language talent. He told Rhodes that the monster group in the royal city ruins found in the middle level of the sewer had been cleared, and the excavation of the ruins was now being carried out in an orderly manner. If Rhodes is interested, , you can join the Ash Excavator School and participate in it.

Rhodes politely stated that he was in special training at the secret branch.

Professor Binns didn't pay attention and just said that if you are interested, you can come to him at any time.

After finishing the last class of the day, Rhodes returned to the dormitory, returned to his dream, took out the Book of Knowledge and started working.

This time, it was like the constipation that I had been holding back for many years was relieved.

The words that used to look as stiff as old shit suddenly disappeared.

Rhodes was so excited that he wanted to bury his head in the book of knowledge and work hard.

About three hours later, Rhodes finally finished translating all the text about the invasion, but all the smiles on his face disappeared.

The translated text was written on the white paper beside it. Rhodes checked it twice to confirm that there was no big ambiguity.

I saw written on the white paper:

Dream invasion:

When the dreamland welcomes a new owner, the invasion begins. This is the source's instinct.

Invasions vary greatly depending on the time of day and the spiritual environment.

It changes greatly depending on the state of soul corruption.

It becomes stronger as the dream affects the spiritual world.

It gets stronger as the world falls deeper into darkness.

——

The original text is much longer, but this is the core content extracted by Rhodes.

It completely shows that Rod's dream is shattered and his crisis has never passed.

Especially the last sentence reminded him of something Mr. Churchill said on the first day of class——

"The world is accelerating into the dark abyss."

Doesn't this mean that the monsters he encounters in the future will become stronger and stronger?

The obelisk has been silent for so many days. In fact, it is not that the invasion has been interrupted, but that a stronger invader is coming?

Rhodes felt a strong chill rising along his back and couldn't help but shudder.

during the following days.

Rhodes very much hoped that his translation skills were not good enough and the error occurred.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard he studied, he could not find any fatal translation errors.

He even split the original text and gave it to Professor Binns to translate separately, but the overall idea remained unchanged.

Professor Binns also became very interested in this kind of writing and eagerly asked Rhodes where he found it. If its origin could be confirmed, the history books might be able to add another chapter.

Rhodes spent a lot of effort to explain it away.

On the fifteenth day, the worst came.

The invasion surface on the obelisk is no longer empty.

Blood-red words once again covered the monument, and they shone slightly, as if symbolizing some kind of terrifying ominousness.

warn!

warn!

warn!

The scourge of the river of eternal death has awakened.

The invasion will come after the sunset of forty-four rounds.

——

Rhodes' heart suddenly fell into the ice water.

The last invasion was still fresh in his mind. Hunting a red spirit almost used up all his luck, and finally he was lucky enough to kill it.

There is no doubt that the disaster of the River of Eternal Death is definitely much stronger than hunting the red spirit.

no.

I have been stagnant at this stage for too long. [Justice Execution] is not full yet. I need to hunt monsters quickly.

We also need to quickly prepare things like the [Resurrection Stone] and [Wooden Puppet].

If I continue practicing slowly like this, I will be finished.

Rhodes thought to himself.

but.

During the special training period, it was not that there were no tasks. The secret branch was all staff suitable for growth in combat. The special training was just to allow them to better digest the gains from combat.

Rhodes' combat effectiveness was last among them, and there was a huge gap between him and the others. Instructor Sauron never sent him.

really.

The next day, Rohde's request was denied.

Soren said that with his current physical combat skills, he couldn't even defeat his grandma lying in the hospital bed.

Although Rhodes repeatedly stated that he was very capable, Sauron firmly disagreed unless he could defeat any of these students.

If it were a life and death duel, Rhodes' summons would all come out and all kinds of methods would be used, so he would not necessarily lose.

However, on the training ground, the two sides were only ten yards apart, and the field was restricted, so Rhodes couldn't fight at all.

People came up and disarmed him in a second, and he had no more moves.

Later, Rhodes thought of a way.

He found the girl with red hair and golden armor.

This is the only one among all the top special students who can speak two sentences.

"I'll give you a hundred silver cords, and you can pretend to lose to me for a while, okay?"

The shining golden Valkyrie smiled and clapped his hand: "No, the Valkyrie never gives up."

"A thousand silver cords."

"good."

However, in actual combat training, Rhodes, who was unable to use his ultimate move, was too weak. Valkyrie couldn't even release water, and had to release a Pacific Ocean to lose the match.

Because it was too fake, Sauron announced that the contest was invalid, which made Rhodes angry to death.

The girl raised the banknote in her hand and said, "I won't pay you back, but I can agree to your request. You can come to me if you need anything in the future."

Rhodes was very frustrated.

Now he is no longer as ignorant as he was originally. [Justice execution] requires a stronger soul.

Monsters with this kind of soul are not allowed to exist in the [Safe Zone]. Once they appear, the military war department will immediately form a hunting team to clean them up.

If you go out alone, not to mention where to look in the vast darkness, without intelligence and logistical support, it is also very dangerous to meet him alone.

After a few more days, things still haven't improved.

Just when Rhodes was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, a group of people suddenly came from the secret branch base, which made his eyes light up.
