The Last Dark King

In the huge blue fire, the soul firewood is still vaguely visible, like the core of the bonfire.

As soon as Rhodes thought, the world turned upside down in an instant, the pure black night sky disappeared, and he returned to the stone monument.

Raise your head and touch the surface of the monument with your fingers.

Darkness once again filled the monument, and stars emerged.

Now, the blue star is much brighter than the dark red star, and its intensity far exceeds it.

And its position is only "blazing fire".

Rhodes frowned. He now knew that the status of soul stars was divided into five levels.

"Unburned fire" is ashes, stars that have not been ignited.

"Gloomy Fire"

"Fire"

"Golden Fire"

"Eternal Fire"

Only when it reaches Eternal Fire will the star's state be fixed at "Eternal Burning".

And intensity not only represents the strength of the stars, but also the strength of his soul.

[Dark Devourer] is so much more powerful than [Frigid Blue], why is its strength only 30?

The Book of Knowledge has no answer to this question.

Rhodes recalled the many abnormalities that occurred when he first lit it, and could only conclude that [Dark Devourer] was a very special star, and everything about it was exceptional.

In the normal process, soul fuel must be added first so that the stars can have a burning core to improve burning efficiency.

After that, fuel is continuously injected into the stars. When the intensity increases to a certain limit, the stars will break through the barrier and increase their potential, eventually reaching the "eternal fire".

After reaching the "Eternal Fire", the state of the stars is fixed, and no more fuel can be injected, and it can only be "quantified".

Regarding "quantified", the explanation of the Book of Knowledge is:

[Making the soul star reach its final form, spreading its power and affecting the spiritual world. 】

Rhodes hasn't figured out the concept of the spiritual world yet, but it's obvious that this is not what he can do now.

He had never even heard of what was needed to be "quantified".

However, Rhodes quickly thought of another question.

[Bitter Blue] has now only reached the level of "blazing fire", far from reaching the constant burning state of "eternal fire".

Its intensity will continue to weaken.

This is troublesome.

Rhodes could only ask for help from the Book of Knowledge.

Its answer is simple:

【Add humanity】

Rhodes was moved in his heart and asked again: "What are the functions of human nature?"

[The human nature inside the obelisk can improve sanity, enhance resistance to madness and dementia, and increase resistance to dark erosion]

[The extracted human nature can be used as a making material or as an ingredient to add fire to the soul firewood to prevent the loss of the power of fire]

I see!

No wonder the plague demon's wail didn't affect me at that time.

It seems that I should store more in the obelisk, so that I don't have to be afraid of those strange and weird effects.

Rhodes was very happy. What he feared most was to be contaminated and become something other than a human or a ghost.

Suddenly, he thought of the flower of humanity again.

When I came to the side of the obelisk, I saw a black flower at the foot of the obelisk.

"Flower of Humanity"

Condensed from human nature, it is an extremely precious thing, used to make powerful spells and concoct rare sanity elixirs.

Crush it to get 100 humanity.

——

This is of course impossible to crush.

After reading its information, Rhodes carefully picked up the black flower and put it into the storage.

There are already a lot of materials stored here. In addition to those obtained in the dream, there are also many that he purchased in the market area.

Because an unknown kind person gave him a hunter's license for free, Rhodes was able to save 10,000 silver cords and purchase a large amount of the materials he needed. Now things are progressing so smoothly.

Well, if you meet him in the future, thank him very much.

Later, Rhodes extracted a piece of humanity and added it to the blue stars.

The star fire becomes stable instantly and can last for a day.

A portion of humanity is only ten points.

I go and have in-depth discussions with Kassan every day, and it’s more than that.

Haha, so simple.

Now, all I have to do is grind through Soulless Souls.

The stars can quickly become stronger until they reach "Eternal Fire".

Thinking of this, Rhodes came to the Soul Altar and simply sacrificed the last four [souls of crazy sinners].

The fire of the soul twisted in the hand, divided by invisible forces.

Its soul part was absorbed by the obelisk and stored inside the obelisk; its spiritual part was separated and condensed into spirituality;

A total of 471 soulless souls, 5 multi-spirituals, and 4 frenzied traits were obtained.

"Frenzy Trait": Condensation that has part of the "frenzy" trait.

Rhodes frowned.

This is another question.

I can write them all down and ask the Book of Knowledge later. I don’t know Dream Language well enough now, so I can’t understand some of the answers.

Rhodes took a look at his current soul strength, which was already three times as strong as before.

Now if I go to the Industrial Machinery Research Institute for testing, will my psychic powers be tripled?

Rhodes was full of confidence.

Now, if I watch Invasion again, it should not be "certain to die".

The Book of Knowledge told him that the only criterion for evaluation provided by dreams was the difference in soul strength between the two parties.

Now that the strength of his soul has increased so much, the threat level will definitely no longer require death, and maybe it will become a must-live.

Ha ha.

Rhodes came to the back of the obelisk and touched the surface lightly.

Blood-like words fell from the spire, and a shimmering red light reflected on his retinas.

Invasion!

Invasion!

Invasion!

After nine sunsets, the invasion will come.

Warning: You are about to leave the Dark Abyss, and "Guardian of Darkness" will not be craftable.

Possible invaders: Eternal Death, Nightmare, Soulbinder Premus, Dead River's Hunting Red Spirit Tug.

Possible invasion environment: nightmare night.

Invasion Escape: No.

Invasion threat: certain death.

——

What?

Or "must die"?

Is the strength of my soul fake?

Or am I too weak? Is there no difference between an ant and a strong ant to an incoming invader?

Rhode's heart suddenly went cold.

There is only a tiny bit of life-saving golden light left, and according to the information in the Book of Knowledge, at least a hundred points of divinity are needed to provide protection.

He has already experienced the word "death" once. When faced alone, it is definitely "death".

what to do?

The only way Rhodes could think of was to use the remaining nine days to swipe hard.

If you can get thousands or even tens of thousands of soulless souls, maybe there is still a chance of survival.

If you prepare various supplies, medicines, weapons and items in advance, your chance of survival will be even greater.

That's right.

Rhodes felt a surge of pride in his heart.

I don't believe in "must die".

good!

For the next nine days, I will live in the sewer and eat all my shit for you!

With strong determination, Rhodes returned to the material world and instantly fell into a dreamless sleep.

Early the next morning, Rhodes went out.

The lights of the college were misty and not yet fully lit, and the breeze blowing from the lake gave it an early morning feel.

But Rhodes was not in a sad mood. He went directly to a dormitory building and found Hines who had gotten up early in the morning to take care of his hair.

"What's the matter?" Hines was fixing each hair according to the predetermined bending rate. The heavy work made him a little grumpy.

"You said I could come to you if anything happened."

"That's right, besides borrowing money, you know, my maintenance solution is too expensive."

"I'd like to take nine days off."

"Okay, the Ash Digger School has been contacted, let's go now."

——

This was probably what Chief Dean Theodore had given him.

The impact is not big. If done well, people from the school can become his wage earners.

Rhodes immediately went to the market area and used the remaining 4,500 silver cords to buy 2 grams of star ruby ​​powder, 300 real silver bullets, and 60 thunder stones.

The ten thousand silver cords were officially spent.

He became a pauper again.

"Perhaps we can sell the rewarded herbal medicine and the fruit of the Holy White Tree."

These are controlled products and illegal trading is not allowed.

But as we all know, the illegal ones are the most expensive.

Green herbal medicine and holy white tree fruit are both items that directly enhance strength, but they are of no use to Rhodes because he actually has neither fire nor the ability to practice spiritual energy.

He had already tried it, but spiritual training was of no use to him. He couldn't absorb the potions that enhanced his spiritual power. He drank as much as he could, and in the end, Rhodes secretly gave them to Wayne and Zales.

Only these two items were left specifically.

It shouldn't be a problem to sell such a precious thing for 100,000 silver cords, right?

The thunder stone is only thirty silver cords per piece. With one hundred thousand silver cords, I can set up a mine array and blow up the monster to death.

Of course, Rhodes has not yet found a channel for this, and he is not sure whether this black market really exists.

The risks are also very high. The consequences of illegal transactions are capital punishment. It is best not to take action until the end.

After delivering the purchased items to the dreamland, Rhodes came to the stone platform.

He is going to make [Spirit-Sealing Bullets].

Put ten true silver bullets, three parts of spirituality, one part of humanity, and one gram of star ruby ​​powder on the stone platform.

With a slight click, the big hand from the stone platform flew out again, grabbing all the materials together and kneading them frantically.

After a while, ten spirit-sealing bullets were completed.

It looks similar to a real silver bullet, with a streamlined body and a silver shell, but with an extra circle of spiritual lines.

Bullets have a spirit-sealing effect, which can hinder the enemy's spiritual energy and force the enemy to reveal weaknesses.

Since Rhodes only had six spirits in total, he only made twenty spirit-sealing bullets.

This is his trump card.

Rhodes returned to the material world and carried ten thunder stones, fifty real silver bullets, and ten spirit-sealing bullets on his body.

He also placed poisonous pansy juice and other medicines on one side of his waist.

Everything is ready.

Afterwards, he followed the address on the letter and went to the teaching area to find the Ash Digger's station in the college.
