The Last Dark King

Latest website: Ifra's meaning is very clear. Due to the isolation of the black mist, the north can no longer contact the royal city. They can only go through the black mist in person and go to the royal city of Saint Reyer.

Only in this way can they get in touch with the White Sect's central Holy See and figure out everything that happened in the Kingdom of Saint Rey.

Rhodes didn't expect that after going around in a circle, he could only go to the Royal City of Saint Rael.

A distance of more than two thousand yards was considered a long way even for them.

However, now there is a saint leading the team.

It will undoubtedly be better if you are familiar with the journey.

Ifra told him that less than one million civilians had fled here from Sword City alive, and they were all gathered in this deep valley with a depth of nearly 20,000 yards and a width of less than 5,000 yards.

It is impossible to bring so many civilians on this trip to the royal city. They will definitely stay here.

The "shelter" can last for four weeks after she leaves.

As long as you return within four weeks, there will be no problem.

Rhodes relayed Ivra's words to Horus and others.

After a brief discussion, everyone agreed with this opinion.

Since there is no way to contact the Royal City of Saint Reyer here, the only choice is to go to the Royal City.

It is much better to meet with the White Sect's Holy See in person than to use remote psychic communication.

After all, their first priority now is to get in touch with the central Holy See of Saint Rey. Only in this way can they join Saint Rey's battle sequence. Otherwise, if they wander around outside, it will not only be difficult to help Saint Rey, It may even exacerbate the disaster.

Moreover, having a saint guide the way will reduce a lot of trouble.

The matter was thus settled.

Horus left behind all the wounded in Weir and Lance's team, and Evra did not take anyone with him. After explaining all matters and precautions to those who stayed behind, the group left the valley with light equipment. .

Looking back at the valley that was completely covered by the "shelter", Ifhra's expression became solemn. Although she felt relaxed physically, she had a heavy burden mentally from now on.

Nearly one million civilians, and about two thousand fighters, remain here.

Their lives only last four weeks.

Once "Sanctuary" ends, everyone will die here and no one will survive.

So, it's a gamble.

They must return within four weeks and bring back reinforcements, food and phlogiston supplies.

The risk is very high. No one knows whether they can come back, but this is a choice that must be made. Otherwise, even if the time of the "shelter" is extended indefinitely, the food and phlogiston they carry will eventually be used up, and the final outcome will be to die trapped here. .

Ifra took a deep breath, her expression suddenly became determined, and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, she flew out of the valley without looking back.

Everyone followed closely behind.

Since the target was not big, the nearby monster lair was not a threat to them. The group quickly passed through the mountainous area and officially embarked on the road back to the royal city.

Ifra's understanding of the entire Saint Real is far superior to that of Vale and Lance.

She didn't use an astrolabe, she knew where they were just by looking at the topography.

Under her leadership, everyone's speed quickly approached the limit of obstacle-free travel.

Along the way, as they expected, due to the fall of Sword City, the entire northern region had fallen, every human stronghold had been extinguished, and every human settlement was filled with living corpses.

The black mist was very thick, almost reaching the level of "expansion".

However, the team not only carries the afterglow, the afterglow, but also carries the guardian fire, which is generally called the "fire of life" or "the fire of light" in Saint Rey.

This is why the name of the White Sect comes from it, which is opposite to the "Black Mist".

As long as there is a protective fire, there is no need to be afraid even if they encounter a derivative black mist. This is why they are confident that they can pass through the wall of black mist.

More importantly, there are two "Fire Chosen" in the team.

This is Saint Rey's name for those who have "eternal burning fire". Ifra said, these are "people chosen by fire", those who are destined to carry the power of fire in their souls. They are natural guardians of the holy fire. It is also the most powerful holy firewood.

Only by piling up countless such firewood can the holy fire finally return to the "first fire" state, and the great god will descend from the "first fire" to disperse all the black mist and complete the final salvation.

It was the first time for everyone in Trorian to hear such a theory, and they all found it unbelievable.

Professor Binns pondered: "According to legend, the First Fire is the source of all fires. It has been extinguished long ago... Ignition of the First Fire to bring light back to the world is also one of the possible salvation paths considered within the Trorian King's City, but , no one knows how to ignite the first fire.”

Professor Barrett interjected: "The current theory is that gathering all the seeds of the Holy Fire can recreate the First Fire."

Qingyu said: "Sheng Reyer's theory is only one of many possibilities. If there is no source of certainty, it can only be regarded as a hypothesis."

Rhodes did not express his opinion. He believed that at least part of Saint Rael's words were right. In dreams, whenever divinity settles, people with eternal fire are indeed described as "chosen people of fire", who can help or harm. The chosen ones of fire will also become separate divine items, indicating that they have special significance to the life and death of the entire human race.

The Book of Knowledge does not believe that Ifhra’s words are truth:

"If igniting the First Fire can purify the world and restore light, then how did the First Fire go out in the first place?"

Asa rarely agreed with the words of the Book of Knowledge: "The Great God was also the object of worship in some doomsday cults. Of course, this symbol has many meanings. It may just be the same name, but no matter what kind of rumored Great God , none of them have the ability to save the world.”

The Book of the Future was sleeping on the bookshelf when he heard this and suddenly let out a sigh.

"Haha, aren't the so-called 'certain' doomsday cults the Polluter Sect? I won't say who the leader of the sect is. The so-called Great God is not there to save the world at all, but to pollute the world."

Asa sneered and said: "Poshu, you can provoke me. At that time, I was just influenced by the supreme will. I didn't know the beauty of defecation. I didn't lead the way to the great king of defecation. After I got the master's control, After the rescue, I truly understood the true meaning of power. As for the Great God, at some point, it was the name of the God of the Origin, and the throne of the God of the Origin was the human being ranked at the top of the Stone Tablet of Evil Thoughts."

Rhodes couldn't help but ask: "Do you think there is some connection between them?"

Asa said respectfully: "Master, I'm not sure. The legends handed down from ancient times may have been changed, or they may be distorted, or they may be misinterpreted at will. Unless we can have a deeper understanding of the history of the Kingdom of Saint Rey, we can't make judgement."

Rhodes nodded, took note of Asa's words, and planned to learn more about this knowledge after arriving at the Royal City of Saint Rael.

About an hour later.

They had traveled nearly 400,000 yards to the southwest.

This is a quarter of the way to the Royal City. If they can keep driving at this speed, they will return to the Royal City in four hours.

Ifra is optimistic that they can even go faster.

Because the north of Saint Rey is actually divided into two areas, the inner and outer areas, with the Misty Mountains as the dividing line. Outside the mountains is the outer area, which is relatively dangerous, and within the mountains is the inner area.

Sword City guards the gate of the kingdom and is the outermost core stronghold. Its fall will cause the outer layer to fall, but the inner layer will not necessarily fall.

Ifra said: "If the Royal City responds quickly enough, it will quickly support Mist City. It once had the same responsibilities as Sword City. More than a thousand years ago, it was also an important town in the kingdom guarding the north... As long as the Mist City can be defended The inner layers of the city may not be affected too much. In this case, we can move at full speed, and we can even contact the Holy See of the Royal City in Misty City."

Rhodes frowned, feeling that things might not be that simple.

"However, we cannot contact Wangcheng... All the transmissions are like falling into the sea, with no response. The current black fog is not enough to isolate the high-intensity psychic transmissions."

Ifra pondered: "The wall of black fog is probably located on the Misty Mountains, where high concentrations of black fog gather all year round. I think it is likely that our communications are isolated there."

Weier said loudly: "Yes, it must be like this. As long as we pass through the wall of black fog, we can see the light."

Lance's face was full of confidence:

"Just like the darkness before dawn, we have to go through the darkest time before we see the sun."

Ifra smiled and said: "The next day of the sun is coming soon, and Saint Rey will definitely be reborn under the light of the sun."

The depressed atmosphere caused by the tragic scenes they saw along the way was dispelled. Although Qingyu and others did not know what they said, emotions are contagious, and they could not help but become optimistic, even in Rhodes After translating it, I very much agreed with what they said.

Only Rhodes always felt that something was wrong, as if there was some kind of terrifying shadow hovering over them all the time, and the death-like whine kept looming in his ears.

Soon, he discovered the problem.

"Isn't Sword City attacked by the Abyss? Why don't I feel the breath of the Abyss in these places?"

Ivra fell into deep thought for a moment, and answered after a moment: "Perhaps, there is an exit to the abyss under the plane of Sword City, but it has not been revealed before."

"But why does the problem happen now?"

Ifra pondered: "This may have something to do with the Sunless Sea and the abyss below it. We have been trapped in Sword City for three months. Although these three months are all small months, for us, time It’s been long enough. The fall of the area outside Sword City, and even the entire north, is inevitable. We in the royal city may already be among the war dead.”

Rhodes frowned. The only result of this inference was that the royal city also encountered a catastrophe and had no choice but to abandon the north.

The source of the disaster is likely to come from Sunless City and Dawn Horizon. Ifra said that before she lost contact, their holy son and saint seemed to be in Sunless City, preparing a new plan.

If this plan disturbs the abyss, the changes in the abyss will not only cause disaster to the royal city, but also affect the distant Sword City.

This inference is very logical.

But the problem is that there don't seem to be more abyss rifts inside the kingdom, and there are no large areas of pollution or monsters from the abyss. Even when he was in Sword City, Rhodes didn't feel this way. Of course, that might be because he Too far away.

So far, most of the monsters they have encountered along the way are related to flesh puppets.

In the fallen human strongholds, many monsters of this type were seen.

Even the initial obstacles they encountered further afield were also monsters of this type.

Rhodes still clearly remembers the scene inside the fortress in the strange mountain range that blocked their progress.

Rhodes has not forgotten a single word of the prophetic words written on that strange totem.

[The day of madness is coming, everything is wailing and fearful, the ancient gods are resurrected in the abyss, and great terror is coming]

Does this have anything to do with what is happening to Saint Rey now?

Rhodes fell into deep thought.

Before they knew it, they had traveled another 400,000 yards.

Along the way, they encountered giant flesh puppets like before many times.

However, these monsters have no ability to regenerate. As long as their flesh and blood are completely broken up, they will die.

The giant flesh and blood puppet with level 16 psychic power, suppressed by the two Fire Chosen, was no better than those conventional monsters.

Rhodes was very surprised. The monster that was very difficult to deal with before was now so easy to kill.

Qingyu explained: "This is the suppression of position, the suppression of souls, the suppression of source law and authority. Sister Ifra is a king-level eternal flame, and is on the same level as our king. Without the support of source law, it is empty. A soul with a psychic level is weak, and its psychic energy is like a bubble that can be easily popped by us."

Pebela sighed softly: "This is the difference between the king level and the non-king level. The fallen Suffok has the same psychic level as it, but it is far more powerful than this monster. It is hard for me to imagine that it is stronger." What would the ancient god be like?”

Jelaba hammered his chest.

"What else can we do? It's nothing more than having a fundamental source that is ten times stronger than a strong source. It's a level 17 psychic power. We also have level 15 psychic powers. Little Rhodes also has level 14. He's not necessarily much stronger than us. He's two or more. Isn’t it common to kill monsters at level three?”

A bitter smile appeared on Qingyu's face: "Uncle Jelaba, you are the son of fire... I said last time, don't escape the courses specially created for you by Professor Binns."

Jelaba scratched his head, the action was exactly the same as Rhodes.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said? No matter how powerful the monster is, as long as I use a larger tonnage, I can crush it to death."

Horus said angrily: "Jelaba, you are as ignorant as Rhodes!"

Rhodes was very unhappy: "What does it have to do with me? I work very hard, do you think I don't know?"

Horus waited for him: "Tell me about it."

Rhodes quickly repeated the relevant knowledge. To put it simply, after the 14th level of psychic power, the soul will no longer undergo essential changes, but the level of psychic power will still increase.

Under normal circumstances, if it exceeds 420,000 kilometres, it enters the category of level 15 psionic power, and if it exceeds 1.3 million kilometres, it enters the category of level 16 psionic power.

After 4 million kilometres, one has entered the 17th level of psychic power.

This is also the last level of psychic strength.

At this point, spiritual power can only approach level 18 infinitely, but it is impossible to reach level 18.

Therefore, the ancient god with "fundamental source" and "level 17 psychic power" is definitely a very terrifying existence.

The reborn ancient god that Rhodes encountered before may be a relatively special existence. Its spirit was protected by a pure star source. It suffered torture for countless years and its body was dismembered. Its strength may not be the same. been greatly weakened.

Its fundamental origin has even been stripped away. The monsters Rhodes killed were actually new monsters born from its body, so they were not that powerful.

After the words fell, everyone looked at him in surprise.

Qingyu praised: "Little Rhodes knows so much, he is no longer illiterate."

Horus nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad!"

Even the Book of Knowledge praised the master: "The master is right. After the Law of the Origin is broken, the Fundamental Source will be the most powerful Law of the Origin. The Black Mist Demon is such an existence. We will be there in more than ten days." Face it.”

Rhodes nodded. Now he has almost no chance of winning. He must obtain enough divinity within the next ten days, otherwise he will face catastrophe.

As for the weird totem and flesh and blood monster, he decided to ask Ifhra after crossing the misty mountains.

After another half an hour, they finally arrived in front of the Misty Mountains.

This huge mountain range was deeply submerged in the black mist, and it was impossible to see how high it was.

It wasn't until they flew halfway up the mountain that they saw the high wall of black mist, standing at the top of the Misty Mountains. The thick and strange black mist was like boiling darkness.

"At least to the extent of Er Yan!"

Horus shouted.

"It is simply impossible for spiritual communication to pass through such a high concentration of black fog. It will quickly become deformed and distorted inside, losing effective information."

Everyone had smiles on their faces, which perfectly confirmed Ifhra's speculation.

They were blocked from communication by the wall of black mist. Saint Rey's situation may not be as serious as imagined. Perhaps once they cross the wall of black mist, they can see countless flames.

Rhodes frowned, is what she said right? It is my fault?

Horus took out the lantern containing the guardian fire from his arms and handed it to Qingyu. The more solid firelight instantly enveloped the entire team.

Ifra couldn't hide the excitement on her face and couldn't help but speed up.

Under the light of the guardian fire, everyone safely passed through the wall of black mist and arrived at the other side of the misty mountains, the inner area of ​​the Saint Rey Kingdom.

Ifra said: "Go to Misty City first and get in touch with the Holy See."

In the excitement, everyone rushed forward as fast as possible.

Rhodes noticed that after leaving the Misty Mountains, the black fog had indeed faded a bit, but there was no fire yet.

But everyone believes they will see it soon.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ifhra shouted: "We're here, the City of Mist is ahead!"

After turning around a big mountain, Rhodes saw the huge city not far away.

This is a huge city that is almost as big as Sword City. It has the same huge walls and towers. It is magnificent and has a huge layout.

However, like Sword City, this giant city that condensed the hard work of mankind is shrouded in thick black mist.

There was not a trace of fire in the entire huge city, and darkness overwhelmed everything.

Everyone was stunned, with expressions on their faces as if they had fallen from heaven into hell.

Ifra's eyes widened, her body trembled slightly, and she whispered: "No, no, how is this possible?"

Only Rhodes recovered his condition first and said decisively: "Let's go into the city and take a look."

Unexpectedly, this risky suggestion was approved by everyone, so he didn't waste any time.

The team immediately rushed forward like a foggy city.

Soon, the fire dispelled the darkness and illuminated the huge city.

In the city, except for the dust born from the black mist, there are no monsters and no traces of battle.

Everywhere was lifeless and empty.

Hope rose again in Ifra's eyes: "They gave up on this city and moved ahead of schedule!"

Horus thought for a moment and took out the blood lantern again.

"Use it to find the breath of life."

Ifra said anxiously: "Okay, okay, let's go quickly."

After Rhodes' repair, the range of the blood lantern was expanded to 90,000 yards, which is 90,000 yards.

This is a pretty huge range and couldn't be more convenient for finding people.

Of course, the premise is that its life breath is not deliberately obscured.

Soon, they explored the entire giant city and found nothing.

They came outside the city again and started searching along the way.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the lantern to respond this time, and the bright red breath quickly boiled, forming an arrow pointing to the northwest!

This means it has discovered a living creature!

Everyone showed expressions of ecstasy, and Efra said urgently: "Go quickly!"

They rushed in this direction as quickly as possible, and finally saw the light of fire on a plain.

But beneath the firelight, there was a surge of darkness.

There were countless monsters, and hundreds of warriors were fighting them to the death. Fierce psychic fluctuations were coming like a storm.

Behind the soldiers were hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Ifra's eyes turned red in an instant:

"fighting!"

She shouted sharply, and instantly turned into a golden stream of light, piercing into the darkness.

Qingyu and Rhodes followed closely behind.
