The Last Dark King

Latest website: Rhodes was shocked, what happened?

The battle at Storm Pass has just begun, so it may not be a failure, right?

Annabeth said, "There must be an emergency. I'll send you there."

Rhodes shook his head: "I'll go by myself. You take Mavis and Cassian back to the station. If I don't come back and you encounter danger again, you can take them back to the Rock Lighthouse."

In this team, the only core is him. As soon as he leaves, the team's structure collapses. Monsters that can usually be easily killed may be wiped out in an instant, so Annabeth must be present. If they can't be defeated, they can still run away.

Although Annabeth was reluctant to admit it, she knew that Rhodes was right.

The three of them fell silent. Rhodes waved his hand, turned around and ran towards the seventh station.

The fog was thick, but he had the eyes of the soul and a good sense of direction, and he quickly found his location.

Like the Third Station, the Seventh Station was also a ray of fire, which illuminated a twenty-yard radius, like a small oasis in the boundless black fog.

At this moment, this oasis was already filled with people.

Everyone is wearing palace robes with a double flame symbol on the collar, a lantern hanging around the waist, and a red tear stone brooch on the chest. They are all second-level combatants who are fighting.

They formed a circle, and in the center was Jon, the guardian and candidate for king. Next to him was a woman who was also wearing a guardian robe, and her age could not be seen.

Rhodes quickly remembered her name through his memory - Guardian Lilivi, the woman who controlled the eternal fire of chaos. They had fought together when they were conquering the Abyss Serpent.

When Rhodes stepped into the scope of the fire, Jon immediately said: "Okay, everyone is here, the situation is urgent, let me briefly explain the situation."

"The big eyes of the White Tower foresaw a huge omen when observing the stars. The Lord of the White Tower, Meredith, used Holy Spirit divination to find the source of the crisis."

"The Castle of the Soul Eater King."

Within the firelight, there was silence, and everyone was silent. Those who can become Level 2 combatants have experienced countless crises and disasters, have been at the critical moment of life and death countless times, and have already experienced hundreds of battles (except Rhodes) .

When facing a crisis, staying calm is the most basic quality.

Rhodes also didn't speak. He didn't have much experience, but many of the things he had experienced, no one here had experienced before.

Jon continued: "The Ghost Eater King is an ancient evil spirit. It has been a potential threat since the founding of Trolian. This powerful king-level monster has been silent for thousands of years. The specific time cannot be verified. According to The notes compiled by the Historical Society, it originated from the sage Aris of the previous era, and it did not go into silence on its own initiative, but was sealed when the Kingdom of Stars was at its most powerful."

"We don't know why the Star Kingdom didn't destroy it, and we don't know why they didn't destroy the evil spirit's castle. Since the fall of the Star Kingdom, the Soul Eater King's castle has fallen silent again, until now."

Jon paused and continued.

"Some kind of strange movement has occurred in the Castle of the Soul Eater King. The seals of the stars are dissipating and failing, and the spiritual energy of the ancient evil spirits is resurrecting."….

Jon's voice deepened.

"Unfortunately, at this critical moment, it is difficult for the Royal City to draw out special-level combatants to deal with the crisis. We are not suitable to provoke a king-level war at this time. Therefore, the Royal City has decided that our Western Front will mobilize personnel to form an elite team. The combat team went to the Soul Eater King's castle to rebuild the seal."

He stretched out his hand, and there was a pure white rune in his palm.

"This is the starry rune that the Lord of the White Tower, Meredith, urgently imitated. Our mission is to find the sealing point and use this rune to replace the old and failed seal."

"Therefore, I need a teammate who is good at runes and seals, a teammate who has strong spiritual vision and is extremely resistant to pollution and erosion, and a teammate who has the ability to hide and can transfer or remove curses and abnormal conditions. .”

Jon looked around and said solemnly.

"Please be aware that this is a very dangerous mission.

Please follow your own intuition about whether it is suitable and whether there are any signs of danger. "

"This is also the purpose of why I brought everyone together."

Before he finished speaking, a tall man walked out.

His temples were gray and his face was full of vicissitudes of life. A long scratch scratched his cheek, leaving him with only his left eye.

"I, Hall of Mugu City, have a soul characteristic of the Sky Seal, characteristic level 9, psychic level 10, strength 3600 kilometres, good at the front position, nicknamed Scalpel."

Jon nodded: "Which station?"

"eleven."

"Okay, combatants from the 10th and 12th stations, you are responsible for guarding this station at the same time."

Two voices in the crowd answered at the same time: "Yes!"

When the voice fell, another woman came out.

She looks very petite and frail, with a delicate face, short height, and a very thin and soft voice.

"I am Misuo from Qianhu Town. I have soul characteristic receptor transfer, characteristic level 8, psychic level 10, strength 4000 kilometres, good at back position."

Jon nodded: "Which station?"

"sixteen."

"No problem!" Before Jon could speak, two crisp replies came from the crowd, "Leave it to me."

"The last position." Jon waited for a few seconds and looked around, but no one came out.

Rhodes hesitated for a moment. He did not stand up immediately because the Book of Knowledge warned in his mind: "The divine benefits of this mission are unclear. There may be some changes. It is best not to take it. The garrison can at least have some security." With 15 points of divinity, you can also gain a lot of powerful souls, which we are in short supply now.”

Jon looked around for a second time, and a small man stood up hesitantly.

"Sir Jon, I don't know if I can do it. My spiritual vision is 91, but my soul resistance is not particularly high. I often have to take purification potions to ensure the purity of my soul."

Jon was silent for a few seconds. The ideal candidate was of course Rhodes, but the fact that he didn't come forward showed that he might have a bad premonition.

In dangerous missions, the intuition and premonition of high-level combatants are also very important. People with bad premonitions should try not to participate. This is a basic principle.

The high-level combatant in front of him was named Eggers. He had suffered very severe soul trauma and strictly speaking did not meet the requirements of this mission. ….

Jon looked around for a third time, but still no one came forward.

In fact, he knew all the high-level combatants present, including each of their characteristics, habits and abilities, but the real key lay in their intuition.

This kind of spiritual feeling is very wonderful. Making full use of it is the experience accumulated by Wangcheng over the past thousands of years.

Jon sighed in his heart, and just when he was about to decide on the candidate, Rhodes suddenly took a step forward and stood up.

"Rhodes of Red Rock Village, Spark Sequence, Nine Fires, Absolute Spiritual Vision, Extremely High Soul Resistance, Very Strong Self-Purification Ability, Psychic Level 10, Strength 3000 Kilometers, Good at All Positions, No Nicknames."

There was some tremor in the crowd.

Rhodes' self-reported data is very dazzling. Although his reputation is widely spread, high-level combatants do not know much about someone who has not fought side by side in intense battles all year round.

This is the first time Rhodes has participated in a battle as a second-level combatant.

"Absolute visionary!"

"Oh my gosh, there's an absolute psychic among us!"

"The soul has extremely high resistance? It also has the ability to purify itself? This is not what a genius can describe, right?"

"He is of the Spark Sequence. I haven't had a comrade of the Spark Sequence for a long time. I always thought he was a spiritual fire and his soul characteristic was a black rice bucket."

"You're so young and you're good at all positions? You're a new generation of strong men, you're not exaggerating, are you?"

"Why would he emphasize that he has no nickname? If he doesn't have a nickname, he won't say it..."

Rhodes was very happy that Jon's words quickly cut off this question.

"Rhode, are you sure?

Want to participate? Is your gut okay? "

Rhodes replied decisively: "Sure, no problem."

"Owner."

The Book of Knowledge wrote in his mind: "I don't quite agree with this choice, but I support the master's choice to explore ancient ruins. The most dangerous thing is the unknown, and the most important thing is knowledge. The spirituality in my soul is fully restored. Can find answers to certain questions for the owner."

"Very good." Rhodes was very satisfied with the changes in the Book of Knowledge and asked without hesitation: "Book, can you predict the biggest difficulty of this operation?"

The Book of Knowledge gives an affirmative answer.

"Okay, although it's not knowledge, my inspiration is very keen after my spirituality is fully restored, well..."

It held it for a moment and wrote.

"I have a hunch that anything related to the number 51 will bring bad omens, so avoid 51."

Rhodes suddenly felt confident and said happily: "Shu, you are great."

"Of course."

The book of knowledge turned over the pages and walked away proudly.

Ahead, Jon continued to ask: "Rhodes is in the third station, the second station and the fourth station. Do you have any questions?"

Two loud voices rang out from the crowd: "No."

Rhodes hurriedly added: "I still have my battle group at my station. The three of them are auxiliary personnel and have no direct combat effectiveness. Please help and take care of them."

This time, there was a relatively big shock in the crowd.

"What?"

"He also has his own battle group?"

"Isn't he a Level 2 combatant? His psychic power level is ten and his strength is 3000 kilometres. That's right!"

"Aren't only first-level combatants eligible to form a battle group?"….

Jon immediately suppressed his questioning voice.

"He is in a special situation! Now, please return to your respective combat positions quickly. The battle is not suspended. Team members, follow me. Lilivi and I will lead this mission."

The crowd dispersed quickly, and the three of them, led by Jon and Lilivi, ran towards the west.

The billowing black mist rushed towards them, but it was blocked by the lanterns around their waists and the red tearstone brooches on their chests.

This is the only force that can truly fight against the black mist. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the soul is, if it is trapped in the black mist, it will only be slowly corroded, gradually going crazy, and becoming an irrational monster.

The King's Candidate with "Eternal Burning Fire" is no exception.

The petite Misor cast a pale shadow over everyone. According to her, this shadow could transfer the breath of life, the disturbance of the soul, and the fluctuation of spiritual energy to her body.

She can then use the silent blank rune to shield herself to minimize the disturbance.

Jon nodded slightly. This is indeed a very effective concealment method. If all members use the Silence Rune, the disturbance between the runes will greatly reduce its concealment effect. There is no problem in using it in general areas, but this trip is In the extremely dangerous Castle of the Soul Eater King, the perception of powerful monsters will turn this small flaw into a fatal threat.

This is one of the reasons why he limits the number of people to five people.

On the way, Jon said: "There are mainly two kinds of monsters around the Soul-Eating King's Castle: the Soul-Eating Demon and the Soul-Devouring Demon. They are both terrifying monsters born under the influence of the Soul-Eating King's characteristics. We try not to disturb them. According to this The route goes inside the castle, finds the place of seal, and uses Lord Meredith's seal to replace the old and ineffective star seal."

Hall, who was responsible for the seal, asked in a hoarse voice: "Is there any information about the inside of the castle?"

Jon shook his head.

"The Ghost Eater King's castle is too dangerous for the investigation corps to enter. They have already lost three elite investigation teams because of this."

Everyone fell silent.

Jon continued: "However, we have inferred from some limited information that the sealed place of the Soul Eater King seems to be in the very center of the castle, and the castle itself is accompanied by a strong curse and pollution-this requires Mithore and Rod."

Mythoor said softly: "Lord Jon, I have no problem."

Rhodes didn't say anything. He had never participated in a similar mission and didn't know if there was any problem.

Jon didn't pay attention and continued: "The Soul Eater King is an extremely powerful evil spirit. The process of replacing and rebuilding the seal will suffer strong backlash. Hall, you must concentrate on it. We only have one chance. If we fail, the city can only use backup preparations." "We will suffer huge losses."

Hall replied in a hoarse voice: "I understand, don't worry, I have suffered much worse pain than this."

The scars on his face and skull were enough to prove the weight of his words.

Jon looked indifferent and said calmly: "Mithoor, you must bear the backlash for him."

The petite Misor nodded slightly: "I will, Lord Jon."

"Finally, our principle is to avoid fighting. If we have to fight, Lilivi and I will solve it quickly, and you will assist us to minimize disturbance."…

The three of them didn't speak, just nodded.

The journey was uneventful. Rhodes' spiritual vision was very strong and he avoided all the wandering monsters.

About an hour later, everyone successfully arrived at the Castle of the Soul-Eating King.

Rhodes looked around and saw a majestic oval building standing in the darkness. Its outer layer was gray and black, and it was made of densely packed corpses. There were huge spikes on the surface, making it look like a giant sea urchin.

One side of the castle had collapsed, as if a meteor had opened a huge gap.

Outside the castle and in the gaps, there were many huge reptile monsters wandering around. They were all black, dozens of yards long, with huge tails and extremely long tongues, with rotten flesh and organs hanging out, like skinned lizards.

"Don't let them find you," Jon warned. "The soul-thirsting demons are very difficult to deal with."

In Rhode's sight, the soul fluctuations of these monsters were very powerful, and they were all powerful and super-level monsters. Monsters of this level could not be killed easily, let alone in such a deep black mist.

"This way."

Rhodes chose the path with the fewest monsters.

Everyone followed Rhodes cautiously.

Rhode's spiritual vision still has a range of more than 400 yards in this environment, which is enough to ensure safety.

But an accident still happened. A thirsty soul demon two hundred yards away suddenly rushed towards them, flicking its long tongue and shooting out electricity.

"careful!"

Jon took a step forward and completed the psychic transformation in the blink of an eye. The powerful psychic energy instantly condensed on his wrist, blocking the long tongue of the soul-thirsty demon with a bang.

The next second, a rotating fireball hit the soul-thirsty demon, and the chaotic flames instantly covered its body, burning its soul.

The thirsty soul demon twisted and struggled, arousing all its spiritual energy to block the erosion of the fire of chaos, but it was in vain. In the blink of an eye, its soul was extinguished and burned to ashes.

The fire of chaos was extinguished only after it completely burned the thirsty soul demon.

Jon rang the Bell of Silence as early as the moment he was attacked, so that the disturbance did not alert other monsters.

"Well done, Lilivi."

Liliwei smiled faintly, but her eyes always stayed on Rhodes.

Rhodes was confused and couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency Liliwei, what problem did I have just now..."

Lilivi said softly: "No, little Rod, you did a good job."

"oh……"

Lilivi's gaze remained unchanged: "Little Rhodes, do you still remember Mr. Theodore?"

Rhodes felt confused, but still replied: "Of course I remember, how could I forget the chief dean."

Liliwei showed a strange smile: "I knew you wouldn't forget him, you still have his breath in you."

She looked at Rhodes with fascination, but it was like she was looking at another person.

"The chief dean said that he will definitely come back. You have carried the last ripples of his soul, so you must have felt this way, right?"

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds. The statue of the Chief Dean still stood in the dream. He had said that he would be there when the stars returned.

The probability is back, but so much time has passed and the statue has not changed at all. He is not sure whether this is true now.

"Yes."

Rhodes thought for a moment and gave an affirmative answer. ….

"The Chief Dean said he might return with the return of the stars."

Flower of Humanity +1

At this moment, Lilivi's blooming smile made Rhodes feel like he saw the sun rising, dazzling, full of vigor and vitality.

"Great, this is really great. The Chief Dean did not lie to me. He said that he has become a star in the sky. When the stars return, of course the Chief Dean will return."

Rhodes hurriedly added: "It's possible."

"Yeah, maybe."

Lilivi murmured, but the smile on her face showed that she didn't realize what Rhodes was talking about.

"The latest divination from the White Tower says that there are 51 days left until the stars return. In 51 days it will be Hanukkah, and I will be able to see Lord Theodore again."

"alright."

Jon finished dealing with the traces of the monster, walked back and turned off the Silent Bell. It is a fixed space effect and cannot exist for a long time, otherwise it will have the opposite effect and cause irreversible damage to the Silent Bell.

"Keep going as planned."

At this moment, Rhodes felt huge uneasiness in his heart.

The return of the stars is the greatest time in the sky, and Trorian uses it to divide the year. Whenever the stars return, it is the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year.

But why is it exactly 51 days?

"Book!" Rhodes asked hurriedly in his heart: "Did you hear it?"

The Book of Knowledge asked in confusion: "What did you hear?"

"51 days! The number 51 appears. What does it mean? How can I prevent it?"

The Book of Knowledge asked in confusion: "What 51?"

Rhodes felt a chill descending from his heart: "Don't you have a premonition that the number 51 will bring disaster?"

The book of knowledge turned over the pages, but the handwriting was still confused.

"What premonition? What disaster? Why does 51 bring this? When did I have the premonition? I am a book of knowledge, not a magic stick."

At this moment, Rhodes felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He suddenly remembered that there was a time when the Book of Knowledge was like this, and he forgot about its premonition.

Rhodes didn't know why, and he didn't intend to ask anymore. It was impossible to retreat at this time. He could only tense up to the extreme and approach the Castle of the Soul Eater King step by step. .
