the last king of darkness

Chapter 213 Torchlight
Rodwan didn't expect to meet Kashan here, and he was surprised: "Why are you here? You also entered the secret branch?"

In his memory, Kashan is pretty good, but her two sparks are very mediocre, they are only for increasing strength, and the value is not high, and they should be far from the standard of the hidden branch.

Kashan's expression was very complicated, but grievances accounted for the majority, her eyes were red and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Rhode, you...what did you do? Why haven't you come to see us for so long?"

When Rhodes entered the secret branch, they clearly agreed that they would come back to see them when they had time.

As a result, such a long time passed, and they did not see him once.

This made Kashan so sad that she didn't even care about the credits so much.

The students in the tenth group were also very frustrated, feeling that they had no weight in Rhodes' heart.

Rhodes scratched his head, he had already forgotten about it in Java.

After entering the secret branch, he spent every day busy and anxious. The Jianguan incident occupied all his mind. After entering the "top class" of the secret branch, he was always facing various crises and had no fantasies at all.

"I……"

Rhodes instinctively wanted to explain how busy and dangerous he was, but seeing Kashan's aggrieved expression and reddish eyes, he swallowed all the words he was about to say.

He stepped forward and took her into his arms with a big hug.

A familiar breath rushed over, and Rhodes said softly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

"Don't..." Cassan struggled a bit, the eyes of countless people around her made her body feel like it was burning, but such a strange and familiar embrace made her reluctant to leave for a while.

Fortunately, Rhodes didn't hold her for too long and let her go quickly.

Kashan's white cheeks were like red apples, and there seemed to be water waves in her light blue eyes. She was a bit awkward standing there, contrary to her strong sister.

Rhodes smiled and said, "Kassan, I'm glad to see you here. You said you would come to me as a special student, and you did."

Kashan thought of the past, smiled a little, raised her pink fist and shook it.

"I said I'd come to settle accounts with you."

"Oh, sir, don't force me to study, here we only talk about combat."

"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid?"

Rhodes said with a smile: "Then try it now, go to my room, how about we have a hearty battle on the bed?"

"Okay... ahhh!"

Bang bang bang, Rhodes received a few punches, he didn't hide, and Kashan didn't use force, but the gap of several months seemed to be shattered by these punches, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if returning to the familiar time before same status.

Rhodes coughed: "Kassan, how did you get in?"

Kashan said softly: "It was His Excellency the archbishop who found me and gave me the relics of my grandparents."

"The archbishop said that this is our family's inherited soul trait, and only women can inherit it. It is a unique piece of soul equipment that can restore spiritual energy for yourself or the person you love the most."

Rhodes suddenly understood what was going on, no wonder Theodore could use it at that time, but I couldn't after inheriting the mantle.

Kashan's face was flushed, as if thinking of what the archbishop said, she skipped a paragraph and continued.

"However, the archbishop also said that besides being able to control this piece of soul equipment, I can also consume the soul traits inside it."

"This is obtained from the soul sacrifice of the ancestors of the Kashan family. You can obtain a special kind of fire, but it will be accompanied by extremely high risks, such as loss of control, madness, soul corruption, and living corpses, etc."

"Everyone is against it, and the archbishop also advised me not to try, but, but I still want to try, even if I fail and I die, this soul quality will be re-condensed from my soul, and there will be no loss .”

Kashan gave a bright smile.

"I succeeded. The archbishop personally held a ceremony for me. Fifteen priests protected me. I consumed this soul trait and obtained a new kindling."

"Fire of anger."

"Wrath will greatly enhance my strength and strengthen my psychic power. It makes my other two fires, steel giant and iron hardening, have undergone reborn changes. When I am angry, my strength will be tens of thousands multiplied ten thousand times."

"Not only did I join the special students because of this, but I was also invited by Dean Vera to enter the secret branch."

"He promised that I will soon be marked with [Strong] and enter the top class."

Kashan raised her pink fist, her beautiful eyes were curved, and there was a hint of slyness.

"So, Rhodes, don't make me angry in the future, and be careful that I beat you."

Rhodes was both grateful and distressed at the same time.

"Kashan, why do you take such a big risk? You, you don't need to..."

Kashan's light blue eyes were shining, like sunlight refracted on the lake.

"Rhode, you know, I have determined to be an excellent warrior since I was a child, and I want to hold up the torch and offer a light to us who are walking in the dark."

"For this goal, I can sacrifice everything. I study hard and work hard, and finally come to this fork in the road. How can I give up?"

Cass held out her hand.

"Rod, what we have agreed upon is to become comrades-in-arms shoulder to shoulder, to bring our light to our companions in the dark."

Suddenly, Sauron on the side applauded, and the applause quickly resounded through this small corner.

In such warm applause, Rhodes held Kashan's hand.

"Welcome, Kashan."

In the midst of booing, everyone around held their hands and shouted in unison: "Welcome, Kashan!"

Flower of Humanity +1
-

Kashan is back in training soon, and she's about to take an assessment that will determine whether she'll be part of the top class.

The top class is now empty, its 33 places being watched by all regular class students.

It is their dream to become a [Strong] logo student.

Rhodes is very happy, not only has harvested a flower of humanity, but also has a hardcore ally.

This will be of great help to his upcoming career.

And all of this was brought about by this relic.

Chief Dean, is this also in your calculations?

Haha, as expected of the most legendary master of spells in history.

Rhodes smiled happily and everything was fine.

Since this solar festival has come, all is good.

The beginning of life has just taken a step, and it is a good start, haha, am I actually the child of destiny?

With such a beautiful dream in mind, Rhodes came to the new training ground, where he met his former classmates in the top class.

They have all changed out of their cadet robes and put on their stealth fighter robes.

The battle robe is simple and capable, with blue and gray as the main color, and a pair of flying wings are printed on the back, with a line of small characters written below:
"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger."

It is in line with the theme of the hidden branch, and everyone here is the type who gets stronger with each battle.

Most of them are squadron leaders, only Rhodes is the team leader.

"Wa hahaha!"

Rhodes smiled happily.

"I told you to bully me and look down on me before, but now I'm on top of you, hurry up! Line up for me, I want to check your physical condition."

"It starts with you, Teresa."
