The Last Dark King

Latest website: Rhodes stayed in the Palace of Fire for three days.

These three days were the most fulfilling three days he had ever lived. As soon as he opened his eyes every day, he went to the training ground to practice the skills of using his soul to fight.

It is not actually a swordsmanship, but a way of using psychic energy, a technique for perfect control of power.

It is not only used for slashing, but also for steps, body shape, limbs, and anyone who uses turbulent spiritual energy to gain power. This technique can be used.

After stepping into the threshold of "Soul Combat", Rhodes was shocked to discover how rough and inefficient his previous use of psychic energy was. A large number of psychic energies were consumed and worn out when they were transformed into a turbulent state to provide him with power, so that His close physical combat level has always been very poor, and even the short sprints and long distances he has always been proud of have become a joke.

However, the old sword master Galen was full of praise for his ability to escape, thinking that he was the strongest at his level. After crossing the threshold of "Soul Combat", he was also the strongest across the first level.

Rhodes was not very satisfied with this evaluation. Why did he say it was "escape"?

Isn’t “strategic transition” okay?

Galen didn't care what name he used, he only agreed with Rhodes' spirit.

"It is normal behavior to run away when encountering an invincible monster. There is no need to go up and die. If sacrifice does not bring benefits to mankind, then conserving strength is the best choice."

Rhodes was very puzzled by his cautious remarks: "Isn't this a normal choice?"

Galen's face turned gloomy and he said in a deep voice: "Many people, especially geniuses like you, don't think so. Sacrifice for humanity is a noble honor, and death is nothing more than returning to the sacred fire... I respect their choice, I just hope that there will be fewer unnecessary sacrifices and more fire that should exist."

Rhodes was silent and thought of a lot in an instant, but he didn't want the heavy memories to come back, so he changed the topic.

"Master, how far can I use my spiritual energy now? Is it half of it?"

Now Rhodes can cut down to 2700 with a full sword, which is one-third more than before, reaching half of the full star shuttle.

However, the Star Shuttle deals explosive damage with a large range, so numerical values ​​cannot be simply compared.

Galen smiled and shook his head: "We don't know what its limit is, and no one has ever seen its fully utilized psychic energy."

"Among the countless moments of psychic movement, it can be subdivided into countless moments. Among these countless moments, only the legendary omniscient and omnipotent god can make the spiritual energy in each moment reach its maximum efficiency."

"Therefore, we call it the 'God Realm'. Being infinitely close to this realm is the dream of all our physical combatants."

Rhodes scratched his head, "God Realm" sounded too incredible, and asked: "Then what is the highest we have now?"

"Alain."

Sure enough it was him.

"How far can he cut?"

"Maybe tens of thousands. He hasn't tested it in a long time."

Rhodes' eyes widened: "Tens of thousands? Are you using my spiritual power level?"

Galen glanced at him: "Of course, his full blow will not only measure the crystal, but also the palace and the mountain will be cut open. There is nothing in the royal city that can measure his limit."

Rhodes froze on the spot, unable to calm down for a long time.

He originally thought that the difference between him and the top experts was only in absolute strength.

Now it seems that the gap is much larger than imagined.

But Rhodes did not feel discouraged. The huge gap actually inspired his fighting spirit and he trained harder.

Galen nodded slightly. It only took him three days to go from a pure layman with no emotions to a master of short-range physical combat.

In three days, some people with lower qualifications could not even feel it.

This is definitely a top talent.

Galen further strengthened his confidence.

Among the dazzling new stars, he is also the most dazzling one.

I must dig him to his limit.

Galen clenched his fists.

Humanity must raise another star of hope.

——

On the fourth day, the flame symbol on Rhodes' collar finally burned.

This means that he has moved to the front line of combat.

Rhodes was overjoyed. He had been holding back for a long time, and the dream invasion had also entered the countdown. The book of knowledge and the doll were trying their best to repair the dream, and the souls were consumed very quickly.

Not only the reserves in the obelisk, but also the souls on the soul altar were exhausted.

He had to fight.

But before setting off, he had to go to Master Galen.

Surprisingly, Galen was not disappointed at all when he heard the news that he was about to fight.

"Practical combat is beneficial to your training progress."

He said.

"Actual combat is the only criterion for testing skills. According to your progress, you should have fought long ago. A real battle is like a furnace that burns the residue and integrates what you have learned into your soul. When you return, you will Reach a new level.”

"Go ahead."

Rhodes was convinced that he no longer had any worries, and immediately went to the outer hall to accept the task.

This time the destination is the most important stronghold in Trorian’s outermost defense circle——

The fortress of courage that guards the dead end.

The Dead Land is an area located at the junction of the Dark World and Trorian, shrouded in uncertainty all year round.

An unknown creature, the White Walkers, is rampant among them.

The White Walker is a very troublesome monster. It has special cluster properties. Large numbers of White Walkers often gather together and gradually form a monster group.

If this group of monsters exceeds a certain size, the King of the White Walkers will be born.

Once the King of the White Walkers appears, it means the "disaster of the White Walkers" is coming.

This is one of the disasters that Trorian is least willing to face. An infinite number of White Walkers will swarm toward Trorian like a tide, bringing unprecedented pressure to the entire defense circle.

Therefore, after a problem occurred in the Fortress of Courage, the palace immediately dispatched Qingyu to provide support.

But so many days have passed, and the crisis in the Dead Land has not been resolved. The group of White Walkers continues to grow, and the King of White Walkers may be born at any time.

Therefore, Rhodes became the second batch of supporters.

The messenger from the palace introduced the details of the battle in detail, telling him that the battle group had been assembled and could set off at any time.

Rhodes curled his lips. There are only two people in my battle group that can be dispatched now, which sounds like hundreds of people.

Alas, as soon as this battle is over, I must go find some more teammates.

There are always two or three people, which is really shabby.

On the flying platform, Rhodes met Annabeth and Mavis, who had been separated for several days.

"Ah, my besties, it's so good to see you again."

Rhodes tried to hug two people at the same time, but was punched by Annabeth, and Mavis also stepped aside.

"Be respectful to me." Annabeth gritted her teeth and said, "I have a boyfriend."

Rhodes frowned and said: "What kind of boyfriend? Is it important to have your leader? Quickly become a centaur for me."

Due to the tense war, the flying platform no longer had flying tools, so they could only run over.

Annabeth frowned. Although she was not happy, the centaur form was the value of her existence and her pride. With a burst of purple smoke, she unfolded her awakening state.

Rhodes got on the horse, and the familiar feeling made him happy. He asked curiously: "Do you really have a boyfriend? Has he ever ridden your horse?"

Annabeth sighed: "Speak carefully, are you jealous? Let me tell you, my amazing beauty is famous in the entire college, and I have so many boyfriends, a hundred of them a day."

As soon as Rhodes heard this, he knew that she was still a bachelor, and he moved up to her waist skillfully - he was finally used to the waist and not the upper parts.

"Okay, Mavis, come up quickly and let's go, Annabeth, drive!"

Annabeth gritted her teeth and said word by word: "I've said it ten thousand times! Don't pat my butt, don't talk about driving, I'm not a horse!"

With four hooves moving together, the men and horses jumped off the flying platform carrying Rhodes and Mavis.

The fierce wind roared, and the Fire Palace was isolated on the peak of the Dead Ember Mountains. Below were the rugged cliffs and cliffs. Annabei was not afraid at all. She jumped on the steep mountain wall like a Tibetan antelope and was down the mountain in a moment. , running towards the direction of Courage Fortress.

On the way, Rhodes briefly asked about their current situation.

It turns out that after the Battle of the Trident, Annabelle went to the Church of Souls to undergo a comprehensive purification ceremony.

This ritual not only cleansed her soul, but also made her spiritual characteristic "Magic Liberation" a half step closer.

Now, her centaur form is even more powerful, with more speed and more spiritual javelins.

But the consumption of spiritual energy also increased, making her limited spiritual energy somewhat unsustainable.

Annabeth is now very worried about her psychic energy and hopes to increase her total psychic energy as soon as possible. On her test report, the total psychic energy is even less than one rail, and even the measurement unit of "rail" cannot be used. Use it.

Rhodes casually took out a bunch of psychic potions and stuffed them into her arms, asking her to drink them slowly. If there were not enough, she asked him for them, which moved Annabeth so much.

Mavis returned to the Silver Oath. Although her soul curse was completely out of control, the leader of the Silver Oath's forbidden armed forces still wanted to try and bring her back under control.

There is no doubt that he suffered another ignominious defeat.

Due to the Archbishop's protection and Rhodes' prestige, the leader released Mavis.

Rhodes had nothing to give Mavis, so after thinking about it, he took tens of thousands of silver cords and stuffed them into her arms.

Mavis said coldly: "Thank you." He didn't open his hand in particular.

She was always particularly tolerant when giving money, and at this time Mavis was stunningly beautiful with silver hair and silver eyes, so Rhode's hands were always uncontrollable.

It's all the hands' fault.

The Fortress of Courage is 1,100 yards away from the Royal City. Annabeth only took two hours to reach it, and she wasn't tired at all.

Rhodes can also arrive on time, but he must be very tired.

Fortress of Courage is a fortress isolated in the boundless wasteland. The range of the guardian fire is about three thousand yards. The black fog outside the fire is not very thick, so Rhodes can see very far.

But in his sight, there was no battle, no monster attacking the stronghold.

There were no sentries on the city walls, and not even a human being could be seen.

The three of them entered the fortress smoothly. The inside of the fortress was full of dusty bungalows, which looked messy and ordinary, and there were no people around.

"Where did he go?" Rhodes asked in surprise.

The sentry who opened the door answered truthfully: "We are out fighting."

"Is there no one defending the city?"

"No, White Walkers generally don't attack strongholds."

"Where is His Highness Qingyu?"

"I don't know, all psionic communications were lost while fighting the White Walkers."

"Then what should we do now?"

"have no idea."

Rhodes was speechless. The sentry asked questions and didn't know anything. He thought for a moment and patted the horse's butt: "Annabell, let's go outside the city to look for him."

Annabelle was about to raise her front hooves when the sentry suddenly said: "Come from afar to have a delicious meal."

He took out a bag from behind and handed it to Rhodes.

"Big meal?" Rhodes was very surprised, "Is there a big meal in this bag?"

When I opened it, I was almost blinded. A bunch of dark brown ollies were deliberately placed on a plate to look like food, which was even more disgusting.

Rhodes immediately threw the bag away and shouted angrily: "Are you a doomsday cultist?"

The sentry was shocked and said, "How did you know?" He turned around and ran away.

Rhodes was stunned. Are you serious?

The next second, the sentry was struck down by Annabeth's javelin, his whole body was paralyzed, and he fell to the ground unable to move.

"Guards, guards!" Rhodes shouted: "There are doomsday cultists here!"

After shouting several times, a few wounded people came out and escorted the doomsday cultists down, taking the indescribable thing away with them.

But no one informed them of Qingyu's movements, and the wounded were also clueless. The only information provided was that the number of White Walkers had increased abnormally recently. They fought bloody battles every day, but they still could not reduce the number of White Walkers.

Rhodes sighed: "There is no other way, let's go, go outside the city."

Annabei raised her horse's hooves and jumped out of the city in a few steps.

There was nothing in the wasteland. After walking west for a quarter of an hour, Rhodes finally saw a group of monsters.

It was the weirdest monster he had ever seen.

They looked like skinned people who had been soaked in water for a hundred years. Their gray and blue flesh was disgustingly rotten and swollen. Their red eyes were very obvious in the black mist, like a torn animal. The mouth is full of sharp teeth, and there is a wet and disgusting feeling all over the body.

There are about a hundred monsters in this group. Their souls show a two-way waveform with sharp ripples. They should be at the high level of ferocious level.

Rhodes jumped off the horse, drew out the long sword "Starry Night", and said with a smile: "Come on, the battle has begun."

He carried the trident on his back, stepped on bone boots, and held the executioner gloves in his hand, and crashed into the White Walkers at the fastest speed.

As soon as the sword light shined, the power driven by the spiritual energy of 1345 Kilometers swept across.

brush!

The four White Walkers were immediately cut into two pieces.

At the same time, frost gathered between the sky and the earth. Mephis pointed at the monster group with one hand and activated the characteristic "Ice Cold".

Annabeth cautiously moved closer, ready to rush forward and drag Rhodes out of the monster group.

At this moment, the mouths of the White Walkers suddenly split open and opened wide, and the sharp teeth in their mouths were clearly visible.

The next second, a sharp roar was released from the mouth of the White Walkers, Rhodes' humanity declined rapidly, and Mavis flew back.

Annabeth couldn't dodge and fell to the ground unconscious as if she had been hit hard.

What the hell!

Rhodes was instantly angry. He brought up his spiritual power and slashed wildly. The long sword "Starry Night" was invincible. His spiritual power was close to level ten, far exceeding that of ordinary ferocious monsters. He also mastered the "soul combat" technique. The destructive power caused is greatly increased.

Killing the White Walkers is like cutting wheat, they fall in pieces.

The utilization efficiency of psychic energy increased, and Rhodes' pace speed was greatly improved. He shuttled back and forth among the White Walkers, as fast as a bird, as slippery as a swimming fish, with sword light flashing, and like a broken line of destruction. .

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred White Walkers were killed.

However, the spiritual energy consumed is minimal.

Black dust flew all over the sky, and the wasteland was covered with ashes. Rhodes walked back through the ashes with a sword in one hand.

However, at the next moment, the dissipated black dust rolled back, ashes rose into the sky, and the killed White Walkers came back to life in an instant!
