The Last Dark King

Latest website: The hair all over Rhodes' body stood up, his blood seemed to be frozen into ice, and his soul became heavy and obscure.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Annabeth immediately noticed something strange about Rhodes, almost instinctively. She picked up the lantern and shined it on Rhodes.

The firelight immediately illuminated him clearly. Under the observation of spiritual vision, his soul was pure and transparent, like liquefied crystal, without any impurities.

"Great, the soul is fine... Rhodes, did you find something?"

Rhodes' face was pale, and he looked as if he had returned from a far away place.

"Something is wrong here."

Everyone stopped and the atmosphere became tense.

"what happened?"

Rhodes didn't answer. He felt that some kind of illusory darkness was occupying his vision, and the lightless terror fell from an infinite distance and enveloped everything.

At this moment, Asa's voice, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Huh? What do I feel... This darkness, this filth, full of evil and gloom, ah, it's so fascinating. Master, something must be happening outside. Please give me your vision."

Rhodes' heart moved, and he immediately gave Asa permission to dream.

"Well... this is a land of ashes, covered with embers of fire, but why is the earth's position declining?"

"Oh my God, what did I see? Unbelievable! I can't believe it!"

Asa's tone became extremely surprised and excited, something Rhode had never seen before, even when he gained the power of shit.

"The abyss, the abyss is eroding the earth!"

Asa exclaimed.

"Master, this is the real abyss, the dark side of the universe that can corrode even gods, the material world, the spiritual world, and the shadow of the Sea of ​​Origin, the plane that existed at the same time as the Creation, and disappeared into the abyss of the ancient era!"

Rhodes was shocked in his heart. He never expected this answer, and he lost his voice: "Abyss?"

"Yes Master!"

Asa's tone returned slightly to normal, but it was full of ecstasy.

"The abyss is eroding the material world and engulfing this area! This place will soon become the abyss! I feel the majestic and unpredictable darkness!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

He laughed wildly, seeming to have forgotten his ideals. At this moment, his instincts took over.

"Master, it's such a pity. I originally thought this moment would come later, but I didn't expect it to appear so soon. It's a pity that I don't have more time to help you save your poor compatriots. The world is heading towards despair. , all existence will eventually slide into the abyss, and endless darkness will drown everything!"

"I may have to look for the power of poop in the abyss, but I firmly believe that the demons of the abyss can also poop. If you control their poop, you can control their power. I suggest you follow me into the darkness. Hug, maybe this can protect your compatriots for a while longer..."

"Shut up!" Rhodes shouted angrily: "Don't forget your current position. I can't kill you completely, but I can make all the power you gain disappear!"

Asa was startled, then realized that he still had a handle in Rhodes' hand, and his swollen soul immediately shrank.

"Master, don't get me wrong. Of course I know my identity. I'm just providing a feasible suggestion..."

Rhodes said coldly: "I don't need this kind of advice. You'd better think from my standpoint."

Asa was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, his huge soul bowed deeply to Rhodes:

"I understand, Master, everything will run according to your will... Your feet are on the earth, and the abyss is eroding your soul. If you don't want to be swallowed by the abyss, please leave the earth as soon as possible, and then stay away from this area. "

So that's it... Rhode shouted urgently: "Fly up quickly, don't step on the ground."

He grabbed Kashan and jumped into the air.

Annabeth also noticed it. With a step of the horse's hooves, Mavis flew up. The centaur was the only one who could use psychic energy to step into the air with less than one level of combat power.

Under their feet, the gray earth had turned black.

Liquid-like darkness seeped out from the surface bit by bit, submerging the grayish white color under pure black.

The entire Ash Lake area is being swallowed up by darkness.

Suddenly, Rhodes' collar felt hot, and the Crown of Fire was automatically triggered. The psychic transmission arrived instantly, and the image of a gray-haired old man appeared in front of his eyes.

It was Aleihan, the First Son of Fire.

"Leave the Ash Lake area immediately!"

Aleihan's tone was serious and urgent.

"No matter what the situation is, return to the Fortress of Courage immediately!"

"Repeat, return to Courage Fortress immediately!"

As the words fell, the image also disappeared.

Rhodes immediately turned over and sat on Annabeth:

"Quick, go back as fast as possible."

Annabeth also knew that the situation was not good, so she didn't ask any questions, stepped on her hooves, and rushed towards the Fortress of Courage.

Along the way, they clearly saw the earth being swallowed up bit by bit, as if there was an unprecedentedly huge mouth below.

The strong breath of the abyss spurted out and shot straight into the sky.

Annabeth had to raise the flying height, but in the distance that she couldn't see, the Lake of Ashes and the Ancient Dragon King in the lake had completely sunk into the abyss.

The terrifying darkness seemed bottomless.

Asa laughed wildly and said: "Hahaha, the abyss is swallowing, the abyss is swallowing, the abyss is the hotbed of black mist, the era of understanding is coming! But even so, I will rule the shit of this desolate world!"

Rhodes ignored Asa's nonsense and stared at the ground. Soon, he saw several people falling into the abyss and immediately drove Annabell down.

"Save them!"

Annabeth fell from the sky without any hesitation.

The starlight in Rhodes' hand shot out, and the long starlight was thrown out like a whip, dragging the three people out of the mire of darkness.

The centaur soared into the air, and long black shadows stretched out on the three people below. It wasn't until Annabeth flew high enough that the shadow-like darkness was broken.

They were finally free from the influence of the abyss.

One of them immediately recognized him: "It's Mr. Rhodes!"

Another person burst into tears all of a sudden: "Wow, wow, great, we are saved, I almost thought I was dead!"

"It's so scary. The darkness is like a quagmire, making people sink deeper and deeper, as if something is pulling at our souls."

"Is this an abyss?"

Rhodes replied briefly: "This is the abyss."

The aura of the abyss is extremely unique, and Rhodes, who has experienced many abyss rifts, is very sensitive to it.

But now, there is a stronger and more evil aura. It is fundamentally different from the abyss rift, and it is a higher-level existence.

Therefore, Rhodes had no doubt that it was a real abyss.

I just don't know why it suddenly appeared here.

With all kinds of doubts, Rhodes quickly returned to Courage Fortress.

Along the way, he saved dozens of people one after another.

Only a few of them did not control the spiritual energy and most of them were affected by the abyss when they stepped into the air. Their souls were disturbed and fell into the mire of darkness.

Rhodes used the sight of the Soul Eye and the communication ability of the Crown of Fire to successfully rescue all the trapped people.

When he crossed the high wall of Courage Fortress, the entire Ash Lake area was engulfed by lightless darkness. Looking from a distance, an extremely terrifying dark hole appeared on the ground, and the breath of the abyss steamed up, mixing with the black mist. , tumbling and entangled.

Fortunately, the abyss did not expand infinitely and swallow the entire world as Asa said.

It only expanded to the edge of the Ash Lake area, swallowed up the last piece of gray land, and then stopped.

However, even if it stabilizes, such a large abyss gap lies in front of it, and the way forward for the royal city is also blocked. It is impossible to clear the old castle beyond it and occupy the super sun crystal veins under the old castle.

Rhodes had countless questions rolling around in his mind, and Asa could not give any more answers. He would only repeatedly say that the end of mankind was coming, that the truly dark era was about to come, and that he was about to rule the dark shit.

There is no value.

Rhodes blocked Asa's endless nonsense and rushed towards the Fire Protection Sacrifice of Courage Fortress.

The bells in the fortress have sounded, and all combatants have entered the highest alert state, creating a solemn atmosphere.

Rhodes opened the door. Seven special combatants and Guardian Leiping were already waiting here.

Rovia came up first and gave him a big hug.

"Good brother, you did a good job. You saved many people."

Rhodes saves people all through the Crown of Fire. This strange mark links everyone's spiritual energy together. The crown is the highest authority and can detect other marks around it and force communication with them.

Other special forces also have the same mark, so they all see what Rhodes does.

"not me."

Rhodes said modestly.

"It's Annabeth. Without her speed, I wouldn't be able to save so many people."

Aleihan's eyes flickered slightly.

"It seems that she is not the waste as expected. Perhaps Horus' report underestimated her too much."

The fire-protecting priest of the Courage Fortress shook his head and said: "She consumes too many resources and is completely incomparable with other spirit girls. You know, Jessica the Invincible is attacking the Herrscher, but she can't even be perfect." It’s not that, it’s still trash.”

"No, Gerd."

Alan looked at him seriously: "No one is trash. The moment everyone's soul is born in the sea of ​​origin, it is unique. She is just not suitable for Trolian's environment, but in Little Rhodes's Black War She played very well in the team.”

When it comes to the strongest new star, the Angel of the Will of Fire, the youngest son of fire, the black rice bucket Rhodes, the chief fire protector kept his mouth shut.

Olivia glared at him with a warning look, raised her voice and said: "There is news from the Royal City, and the White Tower has confirmed that the changes in the Ash Lake area are exactly the legendary abyss, which is the abyss spreading upward and swallowing The result of the surface of the material world.”

Rovia frowned and said: "Fat woman, please tell me clearly, what is the abyss?"

Olivia suppressed her anger and explained: "It is the legendary real abyss, a place of extremely terrifying darkness. It has spread to the surface and swallowed up the Lake of Ashes area."

Aleihan coughed and spoke in more detail.

"In the legend, the abyss has been continuously eroding the material world since its birth. The cracks in the abyss we see are all fragments of the outer derivatives of the abyss."

"Your Excellency Meredith has just determined that the darkness swallowing the Ash Lake area is the real abyss. We don't know what influence it has been under, and it suddenly intensified and eroded the material world. It's just that the swallowing position is just on the surface, so we can see it. ”

But Rovia still frowned, feeling incomprehensible.

"Is this true? Why did this happen suddenly? This is completely inconsistent with my theory. Humanity should be on the road to recovery. How could such a natural disaster occur?"

Aleihan glanced at him and said slowly: "Rovia, even if your theory is correct, our road to recovery will not be smooth sailing, but will be full of twists and turns and dangers, and there may even be recurrences and conflicts. fail."

"Only when we have overcome all difficulties and conquered all dangers can we complete true revival."

These words moved everyone.

Rovia lowered her head and said in an apologetic tone: "You are right, but I was wrong. My estimate of the future was too optimistic."

Misha on the side asked in a low voice: "Grandpa Aleihan, will it still expand?"

Aleihan shook his head slightly: "I don't know if it will expand. I don't think anyone here knows."

"Then what should we do?"

"Did our plan fail?"

“Will we no longer be able to expand to the southwest?”

Faced with these countless questions, Aleihan just looked at everyone calmly and answered all their questions in a calm tone.

"The next thing we have to do is conquer the abyss."

The fire-protecting sacrificial site fell silent for a moment, leaving only the sound of the burning protective fire on the altar.

After several seconds, Rovia's disbelieving voice sounded.

"Conquest of the Abyss?"

"Are you serious? Can we go down? I felt it before. The breath of the abyss is very terrifying. Even I can't stay in the abyss for a long time. The strong erosion, pollution, and filth will corrupt everyone. A soul."

"I am now extremely convinced that the black mist originated from the abyss. The breath of the abyss and the black mist have too many similarities. They can mix together perfectly and cause fatal pollution to the soul."

Faced with Rovia's doubts, Aleihan nodded lightly.

"You are right. In fact, we have explored the abyss under the royal city and have a certain understanding of the characteristics of the abyss. "

"In the past, I wouldn't have made this suggestion, but it's different now."

Rovia frowned and said, "I don't remember that there has been any research on the abyss in the royal city."

Aleihan smiled faintly: "No, it's not Wangcheng's research, but Alan."

"He just lit the twenty-second fire, and the appraisal report from the Industrial Machinery Research Institute has come out."

"It can provide protection against the erosion of the abyss and ensure that we are not infected by the abyss. After discussion at the naming office of the Industrial Machinery Research Institute, this fire was named."

"Blade of the Abyss!"

"The meaning of the name is that the protection it provides cuts through the abyss like a sharp blade."

At this moment, Rhodes felt a strong sense of unfairness.
