the last king of darkness

Chapter 351 The source of the disaster
Outside Storm Castle, amidst the roaring artillery fire and the roar of the wind, the giant horrors fell one after another, and were killed by Rhodes one after another.

The crisis in the castle was resolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Armando even jumped out of the city wall, blasting and killing the giant terror beyond the flames.

No further pursuit was necessary.

In the black mist, the strength of the giant terror has been greatly improved, and the difficulty of destroying it is several times that within the range of the fire.

If he is also in the black mist, it will be dozens of times.

The Storm Castle is the core stronghold facing the dark world. The guardian fire is very powerful, and the range of the fire has reached [-] yards. It is relatively safe to drive the monsters out of the fire.

Armando flies back to the castle, the crisis is not resolved, there are countless huge shadows outside the black mist, but it can come to an end temporarily.

Countless cheers resounded in the castle. This is a super victory that has never been imagined. As Amando, who has half-stepped into the field of super fighters, no one has seen his fighting form at his peak for 50 years. up.

The Supreme Commander Ironbeard smiled so hard that his face was distorted, and he kept praising His Excellency Armando for his strength and undiminished demeanor—although he had never seen the scene of Armando in battle.

After Theodore's death, Amondo, who had become the oldest elder in Trorian, could not see any sign of aging now.

Powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy reverberated around him, his cloudy eyes were full of spiritual light, and even the wrinkles seemed to be stretched a little.

"Boy."

Armando turned his gaze and asked in a deep tone.

"What did you feed me?"

Rhodes smiled and replied: "The tear of the goddess is my special creation, and its main function is to heal pollution, corruption and curses."

"Special creations" are items made using characteristics or fire seeds. Such objects cannot be copied, and can only be made by people who possess the characteristics or fire seeds.

Some are not even available to others.

Although dream creations are not the same as "special creations", Rhodes called them all his special creations for simplicity.

Amando was silent for a few seconds, and asked, "What is the material?"

"Perfect teardrop stone, three star fragments."

Hearing the three star shards, Armando was silent again.

This is a special material that is difficult to obtain. It is the product of the stars left behind in the world, and it will only appear during the duration of the stars such as the shining stars.

"Is there a limit? How much can you make in a day?"

Rhodes thought for a while and replied, "About twenty."

The efficiency of the stone platform is limited, and it cannot continue to work around the clock. Considering that it has other tasks, Rhodes can only give an answer of twenty.

Amando felt it, and said: "It should have a duration. The decay of the soul cannot be cured. When the effect of the tears of the goddess passes, I will still become the same as before."

Rhodes nodded in disappointment. It was for this reason that he failed to save Theodore.

"But it's already a miracle!"

Iron Beard said loudly.

"With so many giant horrors, we stomped them to death like slugs. In the past, this was unimaginable."

"Such a hearty victory, killing those disgusting shit-spitting monsters like this, if it weren't for your arrival, it would never have appeared!"

"As soon as the battle is over, I will report your first achievement to the War Department!"

Rhodes scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm not the first one... Your Excellency Armando is the one who made the most effort."

Armando glanced at him, and said lightly: "Without your Goddess Tears, I can't even use one-tenth of my strength. You don't understand the pain of mental decline, and the huge spiritual power is silent in the depths of your soul." , but unable to use..."

"Boy, being overly modest is not a good habit. Don't suppress yourself too much, otherwise your soul will inevitably darken, and your resistance will also decrease. You have a long time in the future, and you can protect Trori longer than me. install."

Rhodes was about to bow his head and say yes when he heard Armando say.

"Xing Ge can give birth to you, but after two years, I will help you hide this matter from Qing Yu."

puff!
Rhodes almost spit on Armando's face, he couldn't believe what he heard.

Your Excellency First Elder, what about your integrity?
Can this kind of thing be said in public?
Also, can you stop talking about having children?Xing Ge is only 14 years old, and she is still a girl with no hair. Do you think I am the kind of perverted and sensual maniac?
Without waiting for Rhodes to explain, Armando turned his head.

"Go and rest, there is not much time to recuperate, and we will fight again soon."

Rhodes had no choice but to turn around and leave the city wall.

Armando and Ironbeard quickly threw themselves into the repair work.

The logistics personnel rushed to the turret to perform emergency maintenance on the continuously working psychic cannon, while the engineers from the Engineering Research Institute stepped up to repair the damaged cannon.

The psionic energy pool below is urgently replacing the psionic energy crystals—one-fifth of the castle's reserve has been destroyed in the round of battle just now.

Without energy, without truesilver shells, it would be impossible for the psychic cannon to fire.

Everyone was working intensely, and even the soldiers on the city wall went to recharge the psionic crystals one after another—they couldn't directly fight the giant terror, they could only participate in the battle indirectly in this way.

Ironbeard dispatched almost all of the elite scouting team to investigate, and must bring back accurate information to find out the origin and number of giant horrors, as well as what happened in the depths of the Black Forest.

There is not much time to rest, and Armando and Ironbeard have been through the battlefield for a long time, and they know that this precious opportunity must not be missed.

Everyone is nervous, except Rhodes.

He returned to the room, lay down comfortably on the bed, forgot what happened just now, took stock of what he had just gained, and almost burst into laughter in his heart.

In the battle just now, he got a total of more than 5000 million souls, and more than 60 souls of giant horrors.

This is the most fruitful harvest he has gained in a single battle.

And sacrificing the soul of the giant terror made him feel what a surprise was.

In addition to more than 200 souls, he also obtained more than [-] copies of spirituality, and a lot of soul residue.

This product is definitely very rich.

After sacrificing these more than 60 souls, Rhodes obtained more than 600 million souls and more than 1 copies of spirituality, as well as a mountain of soul residues, which Rhodes put outside.

The Book of Knowledge was very happy and told him that as long as he came a few more times, the protection of the dream could definitely be repaired.

Rhodes was also full of confidence, and quickly fell into a deep sleep lying on the rocking chair. The soul crit didn't consume much psionic energy, but running back and forth on the battlefield at a very high speed consumed a lot.

He needs to add that [Awakening] is useless in a protracted battle. Its essence is to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and it is actually a loss.

It's just that Rhodes used to always make money when he lost money, and let the monster repay all his debts, so he seemed to be very profitable.

But now, this kind of tactic can no longer be used, it will lead to intensified pollution of the world, and reduce his divinity, which is not worth the loss.

Therefore, it is very important to improve the efficiency of spiritual energy use and seize all the time to restore spiritual energy.

Cabin rocking chairs are very important at this time.

-

When the herald woke him up, [-]% of his spiritual energy had been recovered.

recovering well.

Rhodes stretched in satisfaction.

The joint effect of the rocking chair and [Broken Blue] is still somewhat effective.

He quickly walked out of the room and came to the city wall, where Armando and Ironbeard were already waiting for him.

"How is your recovery?" Tiexu asked.

Rhodes smiled and said: "Very good, full of energy and full of spiritual energy."

Armando glanced at him and said lightly, "Then let's fight."

"Yes!"

The battle started again.

The roar of the psychic cannon and the howling of the strong wind sounded again in the sky above the Storm Castle.

In this round, Rhodes killed more than 500 giant horrors and gained more than 5000 million souls.

The Book of Knowledge was extremely pleasantly surprised: "Master, have you finally awakened?"

Rhodes was so happy that he laughed loudly: "Of course! Let's restore the whole dream, right?"

The Book of Knowledge turned the pages, obviously a little moved by the proposal, but it still denied it.

"It's enough to repair the dream protection. The next step is to ignite the eighth star as soon as possible. The seven sources required by the star are already full, and there is one more source. Now only [-] million souls and seven soul firewood are needed. OK."

Rhodes was surprised: "Doesn't it need seven great souls?"

The Book of Knowledge says: "We have two very great souls, [the soul of Nightmare Lord Latopep] can be equated to four great souls, and the soul of [Fla Queen of Devouring Ants] is somewhat incomplete, so it can only be equated to four great souls. Three great souls, so there are seven great souls in total, just enough to meet the needs of the stars."

The Book of Knowledge paused and continued.

"After igniting the stars this time, [Wind Phantom] will be in a complete state immediately. The strength of your soul power can make your spiritual energy level go up again. At this time, you should be able to enter the ranks of the high-level existing human beings. If you hit it, you should have the power to use their power for you to gain more souls and divinity."

"At this time, our development should be on the fast track."

Rhode's eyes lit up. The words of the Book of Knowledge are very correct. Unlike normal people, the stronger his strength, the faster he grows.

But soon, his eyes returned to calm.

Because he clearly realized that even if he captured enough souls, he still couldn't ignite the eighth star.

The seven soul firewood is an insurmountable obstacle, and he must wait until the next time the stars shine and obtain divinity before he can ignite it.

I can only get the soul together first.

Rhodes thought.

However, things didn't go as smoothly as Rhodes imagined.

As the battle progressed, he was surprised to find that the souls he got were getting less and less.

In the past, it cost more than [-] souls to kill one, but later on, there were not even [-] souls.

In the past, you could get a complete soul by killing ten, but now you can't get one by killing a hundred.

But the giant terror is getting bigger and bigger and harder to kill.

What the hell is going on?

After clearing the giant terror within the range of the fire again, Rhodes couldn't help asking questions to Armando, Ironbeard and the others.

Amando and others also discovered the problem early on. The giant horrors are becoming more and more difficult to deal with, but their souls are getting thinner and thinner, which also means that it is becoming more and more difficult for them to break through their souls.

Sometimes, two air cannons can't hit a soul flaw.

Armando had already eaten the third tear of the goddess, and felt a little strenuous.

"It's not right."

Iron Beard said with a gloomy face.

"This is against common sense, the weaker the soul, the stronger the monster cannot be."

Rhodes wanted to question this very early on.

"Even before, this was not right. How could a monster of the magnitude of a giant terror have a soul strength that was only fierce?"

This sentence awakened Iron Beard and the other commanders. They didn't realize this before. They only thought that the giant horrors were very disgusting. Compared with them, the power of the fierce super-level was a bit low, but it was not too outrageous.

But now that I think about it, something is obviously wrong.

Armando said calmly: "There is a more powerful existence behind them. It is the source of disaster. These giant horrors are its creations, at least they were born because of it."

Tieshu suddenly came to his senses.

"Yes, Your Excellency Amondo is right. Their souls are weak but their bodies are strong. They haven't adapted to their bodies yet. Obviously they have just been created not long ago...you still have rich experience."

Rhodes frowned and said, "You mean, is there something terrifying in the Black Forest that created these horrors and drove them to attack Storm Castle?"

Iron Beard nodded: "Not exactly, but you can understand it this way."

Suddenly, Armando's face became gloomy: "Oops, if this is the case, Taylor and his team will be in danger."

Rhodes asked: "What are they... going to do?"

Ironbeard explained: "They were originally going to disturb and destroy the Black Forest, interfere with the gathering of the black mist, and naturally form horrors. But now it seems that the horrors are obviously not naturally formed in the Black Forest, otherwise there would be no incompatibility between the soul and the body. situation."

Rhodes frowned: "Didn't you find out before?"

Ironbeard shook his head.

"There has been no similar situation before, and a few abnormalities can be explained,"

A commander shouted: "The target is wrong, send someone to call them back."

At this moment, the reconnaissance teams sent by Tiexu returned one after another.

They came back with dire news.

From Storm Castle to the road between the Black Forest, there are all giant horrors.

As far as the eye can see, there are at least tens of thousands of heads.

In the Black Forest, there are more such giant black shadows, but because the Black Forest is too dangerous, no one dares to enter, so the exact number cannot be determined.

"How could this be?"

Iron Bear lost his voice.

"What happened in the Black Forest, why are there so many?"

All commanders and captains were ashamed.

How can we resist so many giant horrors?

The psychic cannon is not infinite, it needs to consume the psychic energy in the psychic pool, it is impossible for Armando and Rhodes to fight forever, they are not Alan.

If this continues, the Storm Castle will not be able to defend, and will surely fall.

In an instant, the situation became unbearably bad.

How to do?
Everyone looked at Armando.

Amando was silent for a long time, and said, "Now, there is only one way."

"Order Tai Luo to find the source of the disaster and destroy it."

"I'm going to support them..."

"No!" Rhodes shouted anxiously, "I'll go!"
