The Last Dark King

Latest website: It wasn't until Rhodes stepped into the firelight of the station that the anxious atmosphere eased.

Three bishops came forward and used lanterns and unspelling stones to detect whether his soul was contaminated or distorted.

This is a step only taken in extremely dangerous areas to ensure that the worst-case scenario does not occur.

Rhodes will naturally not be contaminated, and his soul shows absolute purity in the test.

Mavis was not tested. There was a strong curse in her soul and any test would be inaccurate.

If it weren't for Rhodes' guarantee, this kind of person would never be able to join the team.

After passing the test, Rhodes took off the lantern from his waist, and someone immediately took it to replenish the phlogiston, and someone else handed him purified water and steaming food.

——In such an expedition, food and water are second only to lanterns and phlogiston in importance.

Rhodes was indeed thirsty. He drank a large amount of water and took a bite of fresh grilled steak. The aroma of oily meat in his mouth made him instantly feel the meaning of life.

After finishing the steak in two bites, he ordered another portion and handed it to Mavis.

Then with everyone's expectant eyes, Rhodes told them that the combat mission was successful and the designated area had been cleared by him and Mavis.

Only then did everyone's expressions light up.

The soldiers began to chant in unison again: "Black rice bucket!"

Even academics are getting involved.

This was one of the few good news among the countless bad news, so Rhodes did not interrupt it and was able to harvest a wave of humanity.

】

——The consumption of Mavis made him a little more concerned about this aspect.

Next comes a short trimming session.

Rhodes closed his eyes and lay down in the rocking chair in the dreamland. Dreamless sleep can greatly speed up the recovery of the soul.

The twelfth star [Blood Pact Revival] can greatly eliminate physical fatigue, and the second star [Frigid Blue] can quickly restore spiritual energy. Under the combined effect of these three, Rhodes' recovery speed is inhuman. .

No one on this expedition recovered faster than him.

Because of this, his combat efficiency exceeds that of anyone else, second only to Moon Knight Olivia.

It is worth mentioning that no matter how high-intensity and efficient Rhodes fights, Mavis can keep up.

Although in most cases she only uses ice, and her energy consumption is far less than that of Rhodes, but just because she can keep up with Rhodes, she is extremely talented.

While Rhodes was resting, others were not idle either.

Professor Binns and Professor Barrett organized another operation, leading half of the scholars and all researchers, protected by dozens of high-level combatants, carrying various instruments to explore the area cleared by Rhodes. .

The survey and study of the city of Sagus is very important.

The birth of the Black Mist was in the Second Era. If we could figure out why the Black Mist appeared, we might be able to find a way to completely eliminate it.

Three hours later.

Rhodes opened his eyes, feeling refreshed, energetic, and full of spiritual energy.

"Very well, let's start the next step of cleaning up."

Rhodes thought.

Arriving at the small fog disk in the center, above was the shrunken city of Sagus, which was divided into countless areas by Olivia in various colors.

Most of them are black or red, which are areas full of danger. The darker the color, the more dangerous. The relatively safe areas are gray, and the cleared areas are white.

His eyes traveled through various areas.

Each area will be stared at for a few seconds so that the Star Square will reveal the divinity gained by clearing it.

Rhodes will determine the value of this area based on the amount of divinity.

This function is really convenient and can help him find areas with the most divinity and the least danger.

Such areas usually have a huge impact on them and should be prioritized for cleaning.

As for those hard-to-gnaw bones, leave them to Olivia.

Of course, Star Square is not always invincible. Sometimes, it will not display specific numbers, but will only use vague words such as "a lot", "more", and "very much" to indicate the weight of acquiring divinity.

Whenever he encounters this situation, Rhodes can only make judgments through intuition.

Now, it’s time to use your intuition.

Rhodes looked at the three "very many" in front of him and fell into silence.

Every area is black to red, and marked with special marks, showing that there are very powerful monsters here.

Olivia once told them not to try it easily unless they gathered strong power.

Rhodes was very hesitant. Although he was very powerful now, he was not strong enough to walk sideways in Sagus City.

If you choose these three areas, you may encounter unsolvable problems.

But if you choose something else, you won’t be able to bear the words “very much”.

You know, before, the words Rhodes saw on it were just "a lot", at least after a part of the area in front of them was cleared, it became "a lot".

Obviously, the most important thing to them at the moment is these three areas.

While hesitating, Yefeng, Rigel, and Vito returned to their station by the light of the fire.

After being inspected, Rigel couldn't help shouting; "We won! We destroyed all the monsters!"

There was another burst of cheers, and people everywhere shouted:

"iron Man!"

"White mist!"

"Eternal shining eyes! Karama's brain!"

Although Ye Feng didn't speak, the joy couldn't stop flowing out of his face.

Now, every victory is important, and the Night Breeze Team is the only team behind Olivia and Rhodes.

Their cleaning efficiency is very close to Rhodes.

Ye Feng is a fire wielder of the Spark Sequence, possesses eleven stars, and holds a soul weapon called the "Moonfall Bow". He is an excellent long-range attacker and battlefield controller.

Vito is a quasi-first-level combatant. He has the characteristic of white smoke, which allows him to turn into smoke, attack or control enemies, and help or protect teammates. He is a very powerful battlefield controller.

Rigel is a formal combatant. His soul attribute is "Immortal Body". He is very resistant to beatings and is an excellent front-line fighter.

Rhodes had cooperated with them before, and the battle was quite enjoyable.

In just a moment, Rhodes decided to invite them to fight together and clean up the three areas.

Although this may reduce some of the divinity, it is the most beneficial approach for the expedition team.

And Rhodes also believes that even if there is less divinity, it will not be lower than other areas.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Rhodes immediately stood up and took action.

Night Breeze was a little strange about Rhodes' invitation, but he understood it instantly after learning about the location he wanted to clean up.

"The seminary, the arena, and the cesspool, these three areas are indeed very dangerous."

Night Breeze said thoughtfully.

"But there are other areas we can choose from."

"For example, the Gate of God's Choice and the Avenue of God's Advent. After we clear these places, we can directly reach the God Tower in the center. According to the prophecy, all the remaining bodies and souls of the God of Destiny are stored there."

Ye Feng's logic is very clear. He is known as "Karama's brain" because of his careful thinking and fine judgment.

Vito nodded: "With the current progress, it is impossible for us to complete all the cleanup tasks before the black fog blocks the return route. The best choice is to prepare early and get the key destiny materials. I think eldest brother That’s right.”

Riegel: "Me too."

Rhodes scratched his head and looked at the areas he mentioned, and found that not only were they dangerous, but they also did not have much access to divinity.

Obviously, this shows that these two areas are not that important to them.

As for why, Rhodes couldn't tell.

Just when he was hesitating whether to spend 10 points of divinity to use [Sense of God], Asa in his mind suddenly spoke.

"I see."

Rhodes frowned and said, "What do you know?"

In order to facilitate the search for Amon, Rhodes opened the dream realm to him.

He can see everything he sees based on Rhodes' perspective.

Asa said in a deep voice: "This Star Square is a magical creation with limited ability to see the future. It is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface. Ah, your dream is simply an unimaginable miraculous creation. I even think it may exceed the throne of Yuantian God..."

Rhodes interrupted him: "Get to the point, don't waste my time."

Asa's soul swelled and looked very angry, but he did not dare to show it to Rhodes and just said dullly.

"According to your logic, these three areas are not important. They are a hard nut to crack and of little use."

"But from the Etoile's perspective, they are very important, and there is clearly something outside of the norm that is affecting it."

Rhodes understood it instantly.

"You mean, Amon?"

Asa nodded.

"Yes, Amon, the ancient evil thought, is known as the evil ghost of the source."

"Generally speaking, the title represents its characteristics and essence. If the title contains 'source', it means that it is extremely powerful."

"Evil ghosts are a specialized type of monster. Their characteristic is parasitism. They inject eggs into living souls, influence and control the behavior of the soul through the development of the eggs, and eventually break out of the body and return to the original body, bringing rare nutrients. ”

"The evil spirit of the source shows that he is very good at similar abilities."

Rhodes was shocked, and he instantly understood how Horus had been tricked.

It's not that the Royal City has no way to detect this kind of control method, it's just that it's too biased, and evil monsters have not appeared around Trolian for a long, long time.

The last case of being parasitized by an evil spirit was thirty years ago.

By now, most people have forgotten about it.

Could it be that this is also part of Amon's calculation?

Rhodes thought, looking at the tumbling shit-yellow soul.

Apparently, Asa thought the same way.

"If our guess is true, it obviously shows that Amon has the ability to influence monsters to a certain extent, at least in a way that can make monsters leave."

"Sir Rhodes, you should know that the easiest way to destroy a human team is to activate the power hidden in the darkness."

Asa paused and laughed darkly.

"You are a smart person, you should know what I want to say, right?"

Rhodes' face was extremely gloomy.

"I know that the reason why we can gain so much divinity by clearing these three areas is because they may pose a huge threat to us. If we move forward beyond them, Amon may control the monsters in them and stab them in the back. us."

"It is also because of this that there is great uncertainty. The numbers on Star Square are modeled."

Asa laughed, and his soul bowed deeply to the obelisk.

"You are right. Your wisdom is indeed very profound. Amon, the evil ghost of the source, is likely to be able to affect specific monsters in those three areas. Since this is not the case in other areas, we can basically confirm this guess. is correct."

But Rhodes's face did not improve with compliments, but became even more gloomy.

"Since you already knew this, why didn't you tell me?"

Asa replied calmly: "I only remembered it recently. You know, there are too many memories of ancient evil thoughts. Sometimes, I don't know where they are buried."

Rhodes touched his forehead. This explanation was so reasonable that he didn't particularly believe it.

But now is not the time to pursue this matter. The first thing Rhodes thinks of is to detect whether anyone in the team is controlled by evil ghost parasitism.

There is a soul master in the team who is able to do this with the aid of psychic instruments.

Rhodes did not hesitate and gave the order decisively.

The soul master did not question it and began to test everyone one by one.

Later, Rhodes told Night Breeze, Lucian and others what he knew from Asa's mouth.

Of course, things related to the dream were hidden. The discovery of this was all due to his intuition and amazing wisdom.

Lucian was in disbelief.

If this is the case, then Amon does not have to take action himself, he can just bury a few eggs in the team to implement the plan.

Fortunately, after testing, no one was infected.

There are also some people who are fighting outside, and we have to wait until they come back to be tested.

Rhodes felt much more at ease and reiterated his thoughts to Ye Feng and others.

This time, Ye Feng agreed without hesitation.

"Brother Rhodes, I think what you said makes sense. The Doomsday Cultists are a group of cowards. They will never come to a normal battlefield. Making trouble from behind is their usual method."

Vito said: "Brother Rhodes' intuition is admired by the entire Fire Palace and the Military War Department. I believe in him."

Revere: "Me too."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Then let's set off quickly. Even if we can't find the real doomsday cultists, it will be good if we can successfully complete the mission."

Night Breeze asked: "Brother Rhodes, which one should we choose among these three areas?"

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, looked around, and was about to choose the arena, when Asa suddenly shouted in his mind.

"Big shithole!"

“Choose the cesspool!”

Rhodes was stunned: "Why?"

Asa explained: "It has the lowest straight-line distance from us, and is the darkest and most suspicious... The most critical thing is that its area is directly opposite the route we are going to move forward, and the risk of attacking from behind is the highest..."

Rhodes interrupted: "Don't lie to me. If you look at it this way, the location of the seminary and the arena is no better than a cesspool? Tell me, what do you think?"

Asa's soul swelled even more, and its color was yellow with red in it.

"In the recent period of time, I have gradually digested the feces particles. I have a premonition that I will soon become the king of poop devouring as an ancient evil thought, and there are the poop essence particles I want in the cesspit."

Rhodes snorted coldly: "Why should I help you? This is something beyond our agreement, right?"

Asa was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed again.

"Great Lord Rhodes, with the power of dreams, you are definitely the one who will become a god."

"And how can the gods not have their servants beside them?"

"I don't know, are you willing to accept the King of Shit Devouring as your servant and serve you loyally?"
