The Last Dark King

Latest website: Will and Lance opened their eyes wide and couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Fortress Hera...was lost?"

Where there are people there is fire, and a lightless stronghold must be unmanned.

Rhodes said calmly: "No, maybe we have given up. In a crisis situation, Saint Rey King City may choose to shrink its strength, reduce losses, and protect more core areas..."

Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook.

"Careful!" Liszt shouted: "There's something wrong here!"

Qingyu sensed the danger and immediately shouted: "Get ready to fight!"

In just a few seconds, there was a loud bang, and the fortress exploded into pieces. Puss and blood burst out from the ground, just like the explosion of a volcano of blood. The overwhelming blood suddenly obscured all sight, and the earth was like a drum. Beating like crazy, the weaker warriors couldn't stand and fell to the ground.

Qingyu shouted urgently: "Be careful!"

There was a flash of fire, and there was another loud noise, and the roaring spiritual energy fluctuations came like a landslide.

Rhodes looked up and saw that the golden firelight formed a huge wall, blocking the huge mass of pus and blood.

It hit the wall of fire and exploded into pieces. Countless drops of blood fell and evaporated under the strong light.

In the distance, a giant insect that was taller than the mountains stretched out from the original site of the fortress, like a combination of a centipede and a cockroach. Its huge mouthparts were facing them, and pus and blood were still flowing around the carapace.

hiss!

The giant insect made a terrifying roar, and the huge insect body suddenly arched, and strong spiritual energy fluctuations were released from its head.

Liszt shouted: "Its psychic energy fluctuations are increasing dramatically, be careful, it is about to attack again!"

Bang!

Another ball of pus and blood, larger than before, spurted out from its mouthparts. The super spiritual energy even caused disturbances in the space, and invisible transparent ripples spread out like lightning.

"Get out of the way!" Liszt shouted wildly: "You can't stop it!"

boom!

Puss and blood exploded in mid-air, thousands of blood droplets hit the ground, and plumes of blue smoke rose up. The oscillating spiritual energy distorted the space.

When the bloody light fell, Rhodes saw clearly that it was a person who rushed into the air and blocked the blow.

She has gray hair and is none other than Pebela of the Wood City, the third Son of Fire.

She saw that her spiritual energy was scattered all over her body, the spiritual mist in front of her was penetrated, half of her body was blown away, her flesh and blood were blurred, and blood dripped down.

Rhodes was horrified and said: "Pebela!"

"Don't worry." Qingyu said softly, "She's fine."

"fine?"

Rhodes opened his eyes wide and saw a strange light emerging from Pebela's body.

It has an extremely weird distortion, like some kind of opaque oil paint, or like a rainbow passing by quickly.

When the light fell, her body suddenly became intact, as if what she had just seen was just an illusion.

A smile appeared on Qingyu's face:

"The source law controlled by Pebela is time retrieval. Its real ability is to retrace its own time and retrace its own state to a few seconds ago. As long as it is not completely dead, it will never be killed."

Horus looked at the figure in mid-air and said in a deep voice: "This is the time-traveler, Pebela of the Wood City."

Rhodes looked at Pebella not far away in shock. Erratic light flickered around her, like some kind of uncertain phantom, and even her existence itself became illusory.

"children."

Pebela's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

"As long as I am here, you will not be harmed."

boom!

The third ball of pus and blood spurted out.

Liszt shouted: "2.6 million kilometres of spiritual power!"

This super powerful spiritual force caused the space to distort, but Pebela resolutely ran into it.

Accompanied by the terrifying loud noise, psychic energy fluctuations flooded everyone's perception like the earth was shattering.

Blood fell overwhelmingly, but under the flash of colorful light, Pebela was still intact.

Lance exclaimed: "Your Excellency, the Invincible God of War, this companion of yours controls incredible power of time and space. This is the most amazing source of law I have ever seen. Its absolute spiritual power is not strong, but its sophistication is unparalleled. "

Rhodes glanced at him in surprise.

Pebela's absolute psychic power exceeds 500,000, and she has passed the threshold of level 15 psychic power. How can she say that she is not strong?

"Well, she can go back in time. As long as she is not killed immediately, she will be immortal..."

Lance nodded: "A very rare source of time, one of the three origins."

In the dream, the Book of Knowledge gave a rare compliment: "This is a talent. Her origin law is also very rare in ancient times, and it is very rare related to time and space."

The puppet said: "Master, this monster gives me an extremely uneasy feeling. I think you should retreat immediately..."

Rhodes frowned, and before he could reply, he heard Weir say worriedly:

"Sir Rhodes, let's retreat. I feel extremely uneasy. This giant insect doesn't seem to be the only one..."

Before he finished speaking, several loud noises were heard, and more giant insects broke through the ground. Puss and blood spurted out from under the ground, dripping down on the insect bodies.

It seems that there is a huge blood lake underground, and these giant insects are monsters in the blood lake.

Liszt shouted urgently: "Their spiritual energy has exceeded the threshold of level 16. Although there is no strong source, the combat power of super-level monsters of this level will not be much weaker than that of king-level monsters! Let's retreat first!"

Qingyu did not hesitate and gave the order decisively:

"Retreat! Jeraba takes the lead, Pebela and I follow, and the others take care of the wounded and non-combatants."

Everyone immediately started to take action, Qingyu soared into the sky, his whole body radiated bright light, shining in the mid-air like a star.

Rhodes knew that she was acting as bait. The breath of fire and the light of fire were extremely disgusting to monsters, and they would attack this shining light group first.

And Qingyu has strong mobility alone, so he might be able to avoid it.

Horus tacitly took out his lantern, and a small amount of light illuminated the team.

Everyone retreated quickly to the rear.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy behind him were all over the sky and the earth, but no one looked back until they walked out of the mountains.

Not long after, a light of fire quickly approached them from the darkness, and Qingyu and Pebela returned to the team.

They didn't seem to be injured, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingyu said: "The giant insects seemed unable to move. After we moved away, they retracted underground."

Liszt looked solemn: "The spiritual energy of these giant insect monsters is very strong, generally above 1.3 million kilometres, and they are very good at condensing spiritual energy and can attack with an attack that is nearly twice the strength of their own spiritual energy. This is the highest among monsters." An extremely rare ability."

Generally speaking, monsters' attacks cannot exceed their psychic power.

Only humans who have been trained and mastered psychic skills can attack with higher intensity.

Therefore, with the same psychic strength, monsters are generally no match for humans, not to mention the source gap.

But if the monster advances to the king level, the situation will be different.

The king-level monster controls the strong source, and the strength and toughness of the soul increase dramatically. Under the same spiritual energy, the spiritual energy with the strong source is more solid, stable, and powerful, and its instinct has also undergone great changes. In fact, The threat level far exceeds that of non-king monsters.

Although these giant insects are not king-level, their spiritual strength is too high, the threat is too great, and there are too many, so they are likely to suffer heavy losses in frontal combat.

Retreating was definitely the right choice.

Pebela said: "Before we retreated, several more giant insects emerged from the ground. It is difficult for me to imagine that if we continue to fight, more giant insects will emerge from the ground."

"What exactly is under Hera's fortress?"

She turned her attention to Rhodes.

"Little Rhodes, please ask them. I hope they won't hide anything."

Rhodes knew that she had doubts in her heart, which was indeed a bit suspicious.

But he also knew that Veer and Lance were definitely not ancient evil thoughts.

"Sister Pebela, they are definitely not ancient evil thoughts, nor are they doomsday cultists. It is impossible to fake such profound human emotions at the moment you meet them."

Pebela's eyes lit up and she said with relief: "What little Rhodes said is definitely correct. Sorry, in the dark depths far away from the royal city, you will always be more vigilant."

Rhodes smiled: "This is what we should do. In this case, you can never be too careful."

Of course, in fact, this alone cannot be determined, the real reason is that he obtained their flower of humanity.

The ancient evil thoughts will never be moved by the inner soul because of the salvation of mankind.

He believed that the situation they encountered was also unexpected by Vere and Lance.

Sure enough, after hearing his question, Vere and Lance's faces were full of confusion, confusion and worry.

"I don't know... I have never heard of what is under the Hera Fortress. This is the first time I have seen these powerful giant insect monsters."

Rhodes guessed: "Could it be that they abandoned the fortress because they discovered something unusual under the Hera Fortress?"

Veer and Lance looked at each other, both with deep worry in their eyes.

"Sir Rhodes, Hera Fortress is one of our most important strongholds outside the kingdom. It guards three important waterways and has existed safely for eighty years... For such an important stronghold, the Royal City must have undergone complete exploration. I I actually don’t believe they would suddenly abandon the fortress.”

Rhodes asked: "What is the channel? I have heard you mention it many times."

Lance explained: "We have discovered many precious mineral veins on the periphery of the kingdom, but we are temporarily unable to expand that far. In order to obtain those resources, we use people with special concealment abilities as miners to mine in temporary mines. Minerals, and the road to transport the minerals back to the royal city is the waterway, and guarding the safety of the waterway is extremely important. Such strongholds are key strongholds."

Weier said worriedly: "This is too unusual. Something must have happened in the Royal City. Has something happened again in the Sunless City?"

"No, it's impossible."

Lance denied: "It is impossible for something to happen in Sunless City. Perhaps the pressure on Dawn Horizon has increased. Before setting off, I heard Omu say that the activities in the abyss seem to have become more frequent."

Sunless City, Dawn Horizon?

Why is Saint Rey's name so strange?

Especially the Matte City. It is hard to imagine that a human stronghold would be called the Matte City.

Rhodes thought for a moment and asked: "Is there a way around Hera Fortress? I think the most important thing now is to get in touch with the Royal City of Saint Rey and let your Pope know our arrival. In this case, we will also can help you better.”

"right!"

Lance shouted:

"You are right, the most important thing now is to restore contact with the Central Holy See."

"Your arrival will be a huge elixir that will greatly boost our morale."

"Saint Rey must be in a very critical situation now. We may have encountered some huge troubles and disasters have befallen our country. Your arrival will dispel these glooms and bring us great hope."

"In a dark world like this, hope is something more precious than gold."

Weier said excitedly: "Sir Rhodes, I really don't know how to thank you for receiving assistance from your compatriots in times of crisis. Perhaps this is the meaning of human existence."

"Where should we go?"

Weir reminded: "The closest one to here is the stronghold that Wangcheng will never give up..."

Lance pondered, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted excitedly.

"Sword City!"

Weir's golden eyes also shone brightly: "Yes, Sword City! This is our core center in the north, guarding the northern gate of the kingdom. It is the intersection of sixty waterways and the center of thirty towns. There are 30 million people living under its protection! The Royal City will never give up this stronghold!”

"We can bypass the Hera Fortress from the west side path, and then go northwest along the pine stone channel for five hundred thousand yards to reach Sword City!"

"Lord Guardian White King Suffok is guarding the Sword City. He also has the most powerful psychic communication tower, which can penetrate the thickest black fog and will never lose contact with the Royal City."

Lance turned his head, his gray eyes full of expectation, and said solemnly: "Dear Lord Rhodes, the Black God of War, please lead us to Sword City."

He pressed his right hand on his chest and bent down deeply.

Weier's hands were slightly bent and her shoulders were elegantly slumped.

It seems that this is the etiquette of Saint Rey Kingdom.

Rhodes cleverly imitated Lance's actions as a gift in return. The one Weier wore was definitely for ladies. He couldn't make a mistake, otherwise his reputation would be ruined again.

Later, Rhodes relayed their words to Qingyu and others.

Horus praised: "Rhodes, you have done a good job. You have such a rigorous and clear thinking, which you did not have before. Unexpectedly, your frivolity and casualness have gradually changed over time. Now, you have become a stable person." And mature children of fire, of course, you should never look at those unhealthy things again.”

Qingyu smiled and said: "Little Rhodes will also grow up. Uncle Horus, don't look at him with the eyes of the past."

Horus nodded and said: "After getting in touch with the Central Holy See of Saint Rey, we will do our best to help them tide over the crisis. If necessary, I will ask for help from Trolian King City."

Everyone has no objection. Helping Saint Rey is helping yourself. Trorian's expansion can be delayed, but crises and disasters will not give humans time.

They also believe that the addition of such a powerful new force will definitely greatly alleviate the crisis of Saint Rey.

There may not be many opportunities to ask for help from the Trorian King's City.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Weir and Lance, everyone bypassed the Hera Fortress and rushed towards the Sword City, the northern gate of Saint Rey, through the path beyond the mountains.
