The Last Dark King

Latest website: The team quickly started taking action.

Lister and six high-level investigators have now become key figures in the team.

——The prerequisite for rescuing the Saint is to find her first.

Although the saintly son and saintly daughter of the White Sect has a high status within the sect, she is not the leader guarding the frontier like the White Sect Protector Suffok, and does not have the corresponding "spiritual guidance".

Only the traces she left behind can be traced.

Soon, Liszt found traces of retreat around Sword City - a large number of low-level living corpses, in ragged clothes and with mutilated limbs, wandering in the darkness like dust.

This is dust on the battlefield, dust-level monsters that no one cares about. Their combat power is extremely weak, and they are usually the targets of training for students. When strong people fight, the aftermath can kill them.

In the past, Liszt would not have noticed the dust at all.

But now, they completely show the trajectory of Saint Ifra's actions when disaster strikes.

She, along with some powerful warriors, rushed out of the south gate of Sword City with millions of civilians.

They did not have any means of transportation and were short of manpower. The range of the fire was far from enough to cover everyone. Some people in the outer layer were quickly eroded by the black mist and turned into monsters.

They were sparsely distributed on both sides of the retreat road, far apart.

And these monsters that should have been easily killed killed countless civilians indiscriminately, devouring countless lives. Therefore, among the dust, there were also a few unleveled and mature monsters.

The saint and her warriors may or may not be aware of this. Some of the monsters were eliminated, but more remained.

It became a clue for Liszt to follow.

However, this sparse dust belt meandered southwestward for about 50,000 yards before suddenly disappearing.

Liszt and others searched the surrounding area for a long time, but no new clues were found.

It was as if they suddenly disappeared from this world without leaving any trace.

After another fruitless search, everyone gathered together.

"How is this going?"

Horus asked.

"Can't they fly?"

Lister said: "I have gone fifteen thousand yards and found no new clues."

A senior investigator said: "It is very dangerous nearby. I found at least three giant flesh puppet nests, and also encountered giant insects in Hera's fortress. It is impossible for them to get over."

"Is it possible...that they have encountered misfortune?"

"No, it's impossible." Liszt denied: "If an extremely powerful monster attacks them, I will definitely be able to find clues."

Qingyu said thoughtfully: "Is it really possible to fly?"

Horus suddenly said: "Rhodes, ask them, does the saint have the ability to float?"

Rhodes shook his head: "This is impossible, Archbishop. Even if she had it, she couldn't take off with millions of people... Moreover, if she could really do this, why didn't she fly when she left the city?"

Although he said this, he still asked Veer and Lance.

After all, no one knows what happened when the city was destroyed.

When Weir and Lance heard Rhodes' inquiry, they both showed incredulous expressions.

"Sir Rhodes, the Son and the Saint both have the attribute of eternal fire. They are future pope candidates and cannot have other attributes."

Rhodes had vaguely guessed it.

He didn't hear anything like a candidate for king from Weir and Lance, so the most likely person to succeed the pope is the Son and the Saint.

"I remember that eternal fire can simulate the use of other special abilities."

Weier replied: "This kind of imitation is relatively weak, usually far less than the original ability, and it is impossible to take off with millions of people, unless she takes that step, just like the Pope."

Rhodes was shocked and asked quickly, "Has your Pope taken that step to become a true king?"

Weir looked at Rhodes strangely.

"Isn't he your king?"

Rod choked up.

The King of Trolian has not taken that step yet.

According to the king, he has not found the path to the true king. Although he is extremely powerful, he has been unable to take the final step.

Therefore, he is not a true king yet, he is just the peak of a king.

Although Rhodes did not answer, such non-answer was tantamount to answering the question.

Veil and Lance both widened their eyes.

"Your king has not entered the realm of God, so how do you survive until now?"

Rhodes hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is the real king the god?"

Lance replied affirmatively: "Of course, the true king is the god of mankind. This is a fact that was determined at the end of the Era of Gods and the beginning of the Era of Man."

Rhodes knew that the Era of Gods was the Ancient Era. In that era, God was the being that dominated the world, so it was also called the Era of Gods.

The Era of Man is the Era of Fire. In this era, gods have died and humans dominate the world. Likewise, it is also called the Era of Man.

He also knew that "the true king is the god of mankind", but he had always found it difficult to believe it.

After all, if that's the case, isn't the ancient god a true king-level monster?

Why weren't the ancient gods he met so strong?

The ancient gods reborn in flesh and blood, the ancient gods of destiny, and the old masters known as the Paragon Gods are not that strong. They are not even as strong as the Guardian White King Suffok, and he is only at the king level and has not yet stepped into the realm. The realm of the true king.

"What is your classification of monsters?"

Weier replied: "Monsters from level 1 to level 7, king-level monsters, strong kings, and ancient gods."

Rhodes frowned. This level was similar to that of Trolian, except that the last level had never been heard of before.

He translated their words, and everyone in Trolian showed shocked expressions.

"True King? Their Pope has already taken that step?"

Horus had a look of ecstasy on his face.

"Then they must have mastered the method of becoming a true king! The king finally has the opportunity to take that step!"

Qingyu was also overjoyed: "Looking at it this way, Saint Reyer King City should be safe."

"They may have been forced to shrink their defenses to preserve more vitality."

"We must help him as much as possible."

But scholars are more concerned about other things.

"Levels 1 to 7? Does it correspond to our gray level to strong level? No, there are two levels missing in the middle."

"Maybe there are two levels that are the boundaries between strong and super levels. After all, the gap between this class is huge."

"There are also strong king-level monsters? The ancient god is not considered a king-level monster?"

"It seems that our classification is not very precise, and some are too general."

Professor Barrett muttered:

"After I go back, I will re-study this issue and re-formulate more accurate standards."

Qingyu thought for a moment and then said: "Little Rhodes, you can ask them about the internal structure of the White Sect, so that we can know clearly what level of combat power the Guardian Knight and the Guardian White King have."

Rhodes nodded and relayed the question to the two of them.

Weier replied: "In our White Sect, the Pope is the supreme and strongest person, the guardian of the holy fire, the highest priest, and the chief priest."

"The Holy Son and Saint are the future Pope."

"The person who directs a party's affairs and controls the power of prophecy is the chief shepherd. They are the most supreme people besides the pope."

"Below the Great Shepherd are the White Kings who protect the teachings. They are the leaders who guard one side."

"Except for the possible exceptions of special saints and saints, they are all king-level or above. They are the pillars of Saint Rey, and they are our most powerful combat force besides the Pope."

"Below them are the Guardian Knight Captain, the High-level Guardian Knight, and the White Priest. These are the mainstays of Saint Rael. Most of them are Herrschers, but there are also a few people like me who have not yet become Herrschers. ”

"Then below are the Guardian Knights and the Sacrifice. They are all extraordinary beings and are our main force."

Rhodes took a deep breath. From this point of view, Saint Rey was far stronger than Trorian. No wonder Vere and Lance didn't think they were very strong at the beginning.

After all, they don't even have a king-level person in their team.

This time, it was them who hugged each other.

Then, they should help Saint Rey as much as possible.

Rhodes quickly entered into deep thinking. When he concentrated all his energy, the answer to the question quickly emerged.

How to find traces of the saint.

【Book of the Past】

Rhodes hadn't used this book for a long time and had almost forgotten it.

After all, most of the time, he was faced with hundreds of thousands of years of history, and the [Book of the Past] couldn't see that far. After basically wiping out the doomsday cultists from the upper echelons of the royal city, it was hidden on the bookshelf. , and was never beaten by Rhodes again.

Now, it's time to take it out and use it.

As soon as Rhodes thought, the [Book of the Past] flew out from the bookshelf and quickly turned the pages.

The scene where Rhodes was gradually appeared on the page, and with the input of his spiritual energy, the time of the scene began to flow back quickly.

One day, two days, three days... there was basically no change. The thick black fog covered the earth and nothing could be seen.

It wasn't until the date changed to fifteen days ago that Rhodes saw a bright light that dispersed the dark fog.

The light was so dazzling that he couldn't distinguish the details at all. Rhodes knew that this was because the saint's spiritual energy was too powerful and exceeded the limit of detection in the Book of the Past, so he couldn't see anything.

Rhodes could only jump forward in time and then watch it backwards in normal order.

Soon, the strong light passed, and the picture appeared textured. Black fog shrouded it, but was dispersed by the weak light.

Under the light, there was a torrent of refugees.

They looked frightened, their faces were sallow, their clothes were ragged, they were covered in filth, and their hair was unkempt. They stumbled and followed the lantern holder.

The lantern bearer was wearing a striking blue formal suit and holding a brass lantern in his hand. He kept looking forward and backward and shouting loudly.

Some knights in armor shuttle among the crowd, sometimes killing monsters born in the shadows, sometimes killing people who are still alive but contaminated.

The man fell like a piece of grass, but no one cared. The torrent quickly passed over him and buried him under the dust.

This was an extremely cruel scene, which had a huge impact on Rhodes. Although he had heard of more horrific tragedies, he had never witnessed it with his own eyes.

Since he became a fire bearer, he has been greeted with victory after victory, rarely a disastrous defeat.

Not a moment later, the team suddenly became commotion, and strong light flashed back and forth across the screen, tearing the observable information into pieces.

Only when a few bright lights were far away from this area, Rhodes could see countless refugees gathering here. A huge disturbance came from a distance. They seemed to have been attacked. The Saint was fighting hard with the Guardian Knights. .

The number of refugees piled up rapidly. Through the perspective of the Book of the Past, Rhodes could see that within a radius of 10,000 yards, everyone was full of people.

Millions of people are crowded together, occupying such a small area. The fragility of human beings is clearly demonstrated at this moment.

Rhodes saw from the corner of the screen that a black giant seemed to appear in the distance. He couldn't see it clearly because the fluctuations of the battle were too strong.

About half an hour later, Rhodes clearly saw a white figure flying to the center of the screen.

Her face was unclear, but she was definitely the Saint Efra.

For some reason, she restrained her spiritual energy and stood in mid-air, seemingly saying something.

Unfortunately, the screen cannot record sound, and Rhodes can't hear anything.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the saint stopped talking. A gust of wind suddenly blew from her body, which quickly expanded and enveloped people.

Rhodes clearly saw that their figures disappeared quickly, and it seemed that even the sound and breath were disappearing. The wind covered them, which seemed to be an invisibility ability!

clever!

Rhodes realized it in an instant.

The power to carry millions of people flying is unimaginable, but the ability to keep millions of people hidden is not.

In fact, they didn't even leave any footprints.

The picture was once again obscured by strong light, and the saint's spiritual power arose again, and he could see nothing.

But Rhodes already knew where she was.

"follow me!"

Rhodes shouted and quickly ran towards the southwest.

Everyone was shocked at first, but quickly realized and followed him quickly.

Horus asked: "Rod, have you found the clue?"

"right!"

Everyone was shocked, and Liszt was the most concerned: "How did you find it?"

"With my amazing insights and profound wisdom."

Liszt said happily: "As expected of you, Lord Rhodes!"

A senior investigator was shocked: "Legion Commander, you were not like this before. He didn't say anything. Even if he is the strongest rising star, you can't blindly worship him."

Liszt smiled faintly: "You don't understand. According to my observation, whenever Lord Rhodes starts bragging about his abilities, he must have made a new discovery."

"But Lord Rhodes is rushing towards the lair of a giant flesh puppet!"

"Don't worry!"

"But, but, ah, we're going to run into... huh?"

They passed through the green stone wall easily, like a phantom, and the scene in front of them changed drastically in an instant.

In the huge mountain col, beside the lair of the terrifying giant flesh puppet, countless people huddled, and an indescribable aura filled the air.

"This, this is..."

In mid-air, a flash of fire flashed rapidly.

"Are they the reinforcements from the royal city? You are finally here... eh? Who are you?"
