the last king of darkness

Chapter 245

the next day.

Rhodes cleared all the inventory.

He summoned about 40 wooden puppets and more than [-] flesh puppets to form a puppet army.

When this mighty army marched towards Fanxing Town, everyone was stunned.

"Commander, where did you get so many structures?"

Rhode didn't want to waste his brain explaining these things anymore, and replied directly: "Master Theodore gave it to me."

Captain O'Hara and Konder asked in surprise, "Lord Theodore?"

Beowuld frowned and said, "Lord Theodore hasn't shown up for a long time. Wang Cheng said that he is unwell and is recuperating."

Molly was a little skeptical, and asked softly in his ear: "Is it true?"

"of course."

"Can Lord Theodore make constructs?"

Rhodes glanced at her: "How dare you question the uselessness of the great Lord Theodore?"

"No, of course not..."

"The nature of conjuration is a characteristic of miracles, and there is nothing wrong with it."

This explanation barely kept Molly's mouth shut.

Awei on the side said softly: "Master Rhodes, you'd better come up with some objective evidence quickly, lest opponents use these loopholes to attack you."

Rhodes smiled and said, "It's okay, let them dance, I'm a new star of mankind."

Awei still wanted to say something, but Rhodes strayed, ran to Mephis, and asked in a low voice: "Mephis, get me puppet wood and living spirituality as soon as possible, the more the better. "

Mephis glanced at him lightly with his silver eyes, and asked, "Did you make these out of puppet wood?"

Rhodes smiled and said, "That's right, now you always believe that I'm not a perverted and wretched man, right?"

Memphis was silent for a few seconds, and said coldly: "Can you take your hand away?"

"Uh, the wind is too strong, and my hands are a little out of control."

Memphis silently moved a little away from him, keeping a distance from everyone.

Since arriving in the dungeon, except for fighting, she has basically been alone. She shut herself in the room when she was resting and never communicated with anyone. Even Rhodes would be driven away by her without saying a few words.

Gradually, not many people paid attention to her.

Rhodes scratched his head, and originally wanted to get close to her, but seeing that there was no chance, he had to forget it.

Molly, who was following behind them, watched all this quietly, her eyes full of coldness.

The [-] yards from the underground city to Fanxing Town have been cleared. It took them a quarter of an hour to reach the battlefield. Fanxing Town here is close to the middle. It is very, very wide. As far as the eye can see, there are ancient streets and houses Stretched and stretched, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Countless giant monsters and soulless skeletons wandered in the black mist.

Today's cleanup task is very heavy.

But today's team is different.

Rhode gave an order, and more than 500 wooden puppets and flesh puppets were entangled with each other. The wooden puppets scattered into countless dead branches, wrapped around the flesh puppets as the core, and formed an extremely huge puppet giant.

It stands more than 100 yards high and forty yards wide, standing out like a flock of chickens in this ancient town, and no building can reach its thigh height.

Everyone was stunned again.

Beowuld's eyeballs were about to pop out, and he said in surprise, "Giant... structure? Isn't this a strategic weapon? Lord Theodore is not qualified to use it casually, right?"

But someone in the team immediately retorted: "Lord Theodore is a legend of mankind, how could he not be qualified?"

Raistlin, Egger, Caramon, Annabelle and others were all drooling with envy.

"Rods actually has a strategic weapon..."

Mephis in the distance looked up at the huge puppet, with a strange look in his silver eyes.

Rhodes smiled and said, "Let's go, everyone."

With a wave of his hand, the giant puppet jumped into the black mist.

With a loud bang, it crushed a giant to death with one kick.

With one punch, the solid soulless bones including the shell and core were all shattered.

Two black lines flew over.

Spiritless Soul +2498.
More monsters rushed towards it, but the puppet giant was not afraid at all. It stepped on the boxing, and the fierce monster that was difficult to deal with in the eyes of ordinary people could not survive a single blow from the giant's hands.

More black lines flew in, and Spiritless Soul skyrocketed again.

Rhodes smiled happily.

This thing is really strong, the only disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and it will consume more when attacking or being attacked.

With Rhodes' current total psionic energy, it lasted about a quarter of an hour before it was gone.

However, he was ready to use Void Fury.

Since the Book of Knowledge doesn't know if it has any future troubles, then it doesn't.

I run out of psychic energy, clear a round of monsters with the Golem Giant, and then blast the monsters with Void Fury for a round.

Isn't Fanxing Town not too close?

Can't the miners come to work?
Hahaha.

Rhodes yelled: "Hurry up, everyone, follow behind the puppet giant, and hide behind it if there is danger."

The three captains looked at each other, raised their arms and shouted wildly: "Soldiers! Go! The time has come to restore the glory of mankind!"

Everyone is elated and excited. There is nothing happier than killing monsters and regaining the territory that was once human.

With an unmatched war machine like the giant puppet, the speed of advancement has been greatly increased.

The golem giant rushed to the forefront, fighting in the torrent of monsters.

Its body entangled by countless branches is not only very tough, but also can regenerate quickly. Whether it is the heavy smashing of giant monsters or the cutting of soulless bones, it has no effect.

The three captains keenly discovered the fighter plane and used a new tactical method.

They followed behind the giant puppet, quickly nibbled at the monsters that the giant puppet missed, and cut the monsters besieging the giant puppet in an orderly manner. The efficiency of the battle was greatly improved, and the probability of soldiers being injured was greatly reduced.

Aunt Uther waited in the base for a long time, but no one was there, she was so bored that she had to go to the front line to join the battle.

Aunt Uther's fighting power is directly proportional to her size. Her huge spiritual energy is accumulated on her fists. With one punch, no matter how thick the bones are, they will be smashed to pieces.

Neither the giant monster nor the soulless skeleton can cause effective damage to her.

She was like a tank, rampaging through the crowd of monsters, stunned everyone.

Rhodes was completely overwhelmed, and some monsters had to be killed by the soldiers.

A little bit of pollution is fine as long as it is purified in time.

The consumption rate of [Awakening] is also much faster than expected. According to his own calculation, he should be able to use [Awakening] about a thousand times at most, but this does not mean that he can have a thousand times the spiritual power.

In fact, after thirty times, the psionic energy he got would quickly drain.

After [-] times, [Awakening] basically has no effect on recovering spiritual energy, and can only delay the arrival of the void.

But now, under the endless attacks of the giant puppet, its spiritual energy was consumed rapidly, and Rhodes probably used it every few hundred seconds.

If this continues, maybe he will blow himself up tomorrow.

Rhode wanted to take it easy, the puppet giant was extremely expensive, and he wouldn't be able to get a second one for a while.

Once the spiritual energy is exhausted, the puppet giant will fall apart in an instant.

But seeing everyone so excited, even Molly's voice became a little warmer, and she couldn't bear to stop.

Forget it, it's better to kill it quickly, or those giant merchants in Mehalla still don't believe in my ability.

Rhodes thought to himself.

The recruitment of miners can only rely on big businessmen, but when Molly revealed yesterday, Mehra thought she was joking.

In order to ensure the smooth cooperation, she did not continue talking.

In order to convince the giant businessman that he is not fooling around, it is also a good thing to achieve an extremely impressive result as soon as possible.

The battle lasted until evening, and Rhode's hand was almost broken.

After noon, there was an abnormal catastrophe, and the monsters became stronger, but they didn't stop them.

Originally, everyone wanted to continue fighting, but Molly stopped them. After sunset, the sun set, the power of fire was greatly reduced, and the power of darkness was greatly increased. Coupled with the abnormal sky, fighting at this time was very dangerous.

But Rhodes can't go back, the puppet giant will continue to consume spiritual energy even if it doesn't move, and it can't be too far away from its master.

It is undoubtedly a waste of money to leave it for one night like this, Rhodes can only burn the lamp to fight at night.

Molly specially left him the brightest spiritual lamp, and led everyone back to the base.

Fighting at night is indeed much more difficult than during the day.

Although the sun, moon and stars are invisible, day and night are still very distinct.

At night, the black fog was much thicker than during the day, Rhode's line of sight was suppressed from [-] yards to several hundred yards, and the monster seemed to be berserk. Not only did the movement speed increase significantly, but also the spiritual power became visible to the naked eye. Strong, even sometimes the puppet giant can't die with a single palm.

The battle has become much more difficult, and the consumption of spiritual energy has also accelerated.

Rhodes sat on the head of the giant puppet and felt a little bad seeing the deeper things coming up in the deep darkness.

In his mind, the Book of Knowledge suddenly conveyed an opinion to him.

"You can try burning your soul."

"is that useful?"

"It's useful. The puppet is your soul summoner, and your strengthening can cover it."

Rhode immediately entered the dreamland.

There are more than 100 complete souls on the soul altar, all sealed in the crystal wall, like a large gray shadow.

Rhodes asked: "Book, which soul should I burn?"

The Book of Knowledge reads: "Soulless bones, its defense ability is quite effective, but it is relatively weak, and ten of them must be destroyed at a time."

Rhodes asked with concern: "Will my asking this kind of question consume your spirituality?"

"No, this is just an answer I actively judged based on the knowledge I have, not an answer I learned through my characteristics."

"That's good."

Rhodes walked up to the altar and took out ten souls from the crystal wall.

They are like a large cloud of chaotic mist, stacked together the size of a human head, constantly rolling in the hands.

Rhodes raised his soul, and with a thought, ten souls suddenly ignited. Golden flames shot out from the inside, burning them into fly ash from the inside out, and a thread of ashes sank into his body.

The Book of Knowledge wrote: "You temporarily have the characteristic of proliferating bone defense, but it can only last for half a day."

"Isn't it a week?"

"The special soul is only available for a week, go back quickly!"

With a thought, Rhodes felt a sense of weightlessness, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the material world.

Rhodes felt a little unnatural in his soul, so he poured spiritual energy into it.

Sure enough, bones began to appear on his body, and quickly extended until covering the entire body of the puppet, allowing the giant wooden puppet to wear a body of bone armor.

Is this really possible?
Rhodes was overjoyed.

Sure enough, the spiritual energy consumption was greatly reduced, the white bone armor protected the giant from a lot of damage, and the efficiency of killing monsters was also greatly improved.

This battle was fought from evening to night, and then from night to morning.

As soon as the morning passed, the black mist obviously began to fade, and the monster's speed also slowed down, but the bone giant was still unstoppable, rampaging in Fanxing Town.

When the distant lights came again, half of Fanxing Town had been cleared.

Everyone was shocked by the sight in front of them.

Overnight, the puppet giant was actually wearing a bone armor, which looked even more mighty and domineering. At its feet, the collapsed houses and the ashes of monsters were mixed together, forming a large ruins.

Everyone didn't doubt it, they just thought it was the giant's own ability.

Rhodes jumped off the giant, and Molly turned into a cloud of mist and flew over him.

"Molly, last night... what were you doing?"

Misty groped around him, as if checking him.

"You're not hurt."

"of course."

"That's good."

Rhodes was baffled, and continued: "We only fight for half a day today, and let everyone retreat by noon."

"why?"

"No reason, this is an order."

A mist blocked his eyes, as if staring at him.

"Okay, I'm going to use Master Theodore's soul ripple."

You Wu shrank back: "Okay."

"Also, let Mephis come over."

Molly said, "If you have any orders, I can convey them for you."

Rhodes said impatiently: "I told you to let her come."

Molly was silent for a while, but still released the military spirit crow messenger.

After a while, Memphis flew from afar.

She still had the same indifferent look and indifferent tone: "What's the matter?"

Rhodes said: "Molly, go down, I have something to say to her alone."

The mist flew out of Rhodes silently, turned into a human form and walked away.

Rhodes turned his head and said, "Mephis, I remember that you have twelve curses, which are activated in turn, right?"

Memphis nodded slightly.

Rhodes asked: "Has your Curse of Misfortune been activated?"

Memphis shook his head: "During the battle, the Silver Oath will deliberately seal this curse, and it will only be activated during non-combat periods. That is the only time I am free."

Rhodes frowned slightly, but continued to ask: "Do you have a way to activate it? I need it very much now."

Memphis looked at him with silver eyes, and the chill in them made him shudder.

Rhodes scratched his head: "Isn't it convenient?"

"Do you have explosive abilities?"

"Yes, so I need to gather more monsters. I have to think about it. Only your curse is the fastest and safest."

Memphis lowered his eyes and said softly, "Okay."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Then please!"

Memphis didn't speak, and turned to leave.

At noon, everyone retreated as planned, and Rhodes already felt that he had reached his limit, the void was approaching, and the terrifying suction was looming, it was difficult for [Awakening] to slow down its pace.

The barely supported bone giant collapsed into pieces with a crash, ending its short but glorious life.

Everyone has gone away, only Mephis is left.

Rhode said quickly: "Mephis, go and attract more monsters to my vicinity, and then leave here quickly, don't be affected by it."

He sat on the ground, not daring to move, and used [Awakening] with all his strength, trying to delay for a little more time.

Memphis didn't speak, and jumped into the distance, the lonely figure disappeared behind the black mist in the blink of an eye.

Rhodes waited silently, praying that there would be no accidents in the plan.

About a quarter of an hour later, the roar of the void rang faintly in his ears, but Memphis was still missing.

isn't it?
Where are you?
Rhodes was extremely anxious, he couldn't suppress the boiling power of the void, and [Awakening] could no longer delay its pace at all.

Wait, don't worry, I will pay back the money!

Rhodes frantically used [Awakening], but it had no effect at all.

The Void of Rage is coming.

At this moment, Rhodes saw the black tide roaring from a distance.

The overwhelming monsters chased the white figure ahead like a tsunami.

What the hell!

Rhodes was stunned. Looking at it, at least tens of thousands.

Mephis, are you going to stab the monster's lair?
After the shock, great ecstasy welled up in my heart.

Hahahaha!

awesome!
Memphis you are amazing!Worthy of being my best partner!
Rhodes stood up abruptly and shouted, "This way! Come here!"

Hearing his voice, Bai Ying drew a broken line like lightning and flew to his side.

The cold air hit his face, and Mephis stood in front of him, his silver hair and silver eyes shining brightly in the dim light.

Rhodes said happily: "Great! There are so many monsters, the entire Fanxing Town has been empty by you, hahaha, you have done a great job! Quick, run now! I'm going to activate the secret weapon!"

Memphis looked at him, but didn't move.

Rhodes was stunned: "What's the matter? You run away? I will blow up in a while and it will affect you."

Memphis still didn't move, and didn't speak.

The tsunami of monsters rushed from three sides, and it was already close at hand.

Rhodes became anxious: "What are you doing? Can't you understand my words? Run! It's too late!"

He took a step forward, trying to push her away by force, but when he used psionic power, the void exploded like a madman.

"Run, run..." The void surged up, swallowing Rhode's voice.

Memphis didn't speak, but hugged him instead.

Void erupts.
