the last king of darkness

Chapter 357 The Eighth Star
The crisis in Storm Castle was perfectly resolved, and the color of the area changed from dark red to light red.

This means it is no longer in disaster.

The defense chiefs of the War Department breathed a sigh of relief. Storm Castle is guarding the southwest gate of Trorian. If this place is lost, the southwest gate will be wide open, and darkness will drive in. Not only will the material transportation line be disturbed, Trorian The red plains in the heart of the kingdom are also threatened.

After the dark vision was eliminated, the number of horrors and giant horrors born in the Black Forest was greatly reduced. There was no longer any obstacle in the restoration of the spiritual cannon and main cannon of Storm Castle, and it was completed quickly.

Three batches of supporters can finally return to Wangcheng, and the power that Wangcheng can use has increased again.

The battle ended here. The only thing that makes people puzzled is that according to the comparison of the situation after the dark vision was eliminated, this polluted demi-artifact has existed in the Black Forest for a long time, but I don’t know why it suddenly appeared in this place. There was an abnormality at the time, driving the unformed horrors to attack the castle crazily.

After several fruitless investigations, it can only be considered that the fierce battle in the West awakened the "polluted balance of stars" that was in a state of silence, which made it suddenly intensify its activities and go crazy.

In addition, the investigation team also dug up a large number of remains of the Starry Knights 500 years ago in the Black Forest. There are more than a thousand in total, ranging from ordinary starry knights to the strongest "Son of the Stars" knights.

Most of the corpses are intact, and there is not much damage caused by the battle. I don't know why the so powerful Starry Knights were destroyed.

The mummy was severely eroded by the black mist, but there seemed to be some strange mysterious power preventing them from transforming into monsters.

This mysterious phenomenon has attracted the attention of the Wangcheng Society, and they have sent a large number of scholars and researchers to Storm Castle to try to uncover this secret.

But unfortunately, they did not succeed. Wangcheng soon sent an order. The White Tower believed that these corpses were very dangerous and could turn into living corpses at any time. Now is an extraordinary period. In order to avoid accidents, these corpses can only be sent into the fire burned.

Scholars and researchers sighed, if they were given another two or three days, they might be able to find a new force that could suppress the black mist.

-

Rhodes didn't know what happened afterwards, and as soon as the battle ended, he followed Armando and others back to the Temple of Fire.

This time, Rhodes saw more palace warriors, instead of only palace messengers and support staff as before.

They gathered in the outer hall or the fireplace area, chatting and laughing, and the lively scene also infected Rhodes, making him feel brighter.

Looks like things are turning around for us.

Rhodes thought.

When they came back, the group received a very grand welcome. The emissaries of the palace formed a long row in front of the gate, bowing to them, and their clear and clear voices resounded throughout the Storm Castle.

"The king's candidate, Xing Ge, the first elder, Amando, the great sword Tai Luo, and the black idiot Rhodes, defeated the black mist and the nightmare, and returned victorious!"

"Human beings will never die, the flames will never go out, and the dawn will surely come!"

"Dawn will come!"

Then, the grand sound of the horn flooded the sky and the earth, and lasted at least a quarter of an hour before it stopped.

The ceremony attracted countless people to watch, Xing Ge was a little shy and hid behind Taylor and Rhodes.

Armando was at the forefront.

Taylor followed closely behind. It was obviously not the first time he had experienced this. He strode forward with his head held high and kept waving his hands to signal the crowd, which attracted a lot of screams and cheers.

What surprised Rhodes was that Armando actually stood with them and accepted the reward from the Temple of Fire.

He obtained 25 silver cables, [-] rare spiritual medicines, and [-] hall badges.

Rhode's reward was twice as much as his, and when fifty hall badges fell into his hand, he realized that he could get another piece of equipment.

However, when the old hand was on his, he realized that it was more than that.

"This is for you." Armando coughed and said lightly.

Rhodes hesitated for a moment: "Is this okay?"

Armando said calmly: "Personal items can be given as gifts. These are no longer useful to me. It is the best choice to give them to more promising young people."

Rhodes asked in a low voice: "Then why not assign it directly?"

"We can give more resources to fighters with stronger talents, but the distribution of rewards must be fair."

Rhodes woke up and understood what Armando meant.

"I see."

"Take it."

Rhodes pretended to be polite: "This is so bad..."

"Oh, you don't want to." Armando was about to take back the hall badge, but found that Rhodes squeezed the badge tightly.

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding, I want, I want..."

Armando withdrew his hand and said flatly: "Boy, if you need help with anything in the future, please contact me directly, and I will try my best to help you."

Before Rhodes could speak, his figure turned into a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.

Tai Luo patted him on the shoulder from behind, and said with a smile: "Brother Rhodes, I'm so envious, I didn't have this kind of treatment back then."

Rhodes turned his head, but only saw a white light passing by.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. I hope we can fight side by side next time. Goodbye."

Rhodes was stunned for a while, before he realized that someone was pulling the hem of his clothes, and when he looked down, it was Xingge.

She raised her white flower-like face, blinked her big eyes, and asked in a crisp voice: "Brother, you are so powerful, you must know a lot, right?"

"Huh? Uh, okay."

"I don't know how to do some courses. If you have time, can you help me with tutoring?"

"Uh, huh? Good."

Xing Ge took out the Spirit Crow Messenger and showed a smile like a blooming white flower: "Shall we exchange the frequency of the Messenger?"

Rhodes had no choice but to take out the Crow Messenger, and made contact with Xingge, and each other's Crow Messenger remembered the frequency of each other's psychic energy. As long as they were not separated too far by the black mist, the Crow Messenger on one side could always Accurately find the spirit crow messenger on the other side.

"Great, thank you big brother."

Xing Ge also turned into a ball of flames and flew out of the hall.

Rhodes noticed that the flame symbol on his collar dimmed, and his battle order dropped from the first line to the second line.

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had time to rest.

As soon as he returned to his private room in the fireplace area, Rhodes fell on the bed and immediately returned to the dreamland.

In the dream, the colors of the soil, the earth, and the mist became more real, and the deep night sky shrouded overhead, and the only star still shone in the center of the sky, like an eye observing them.

The tall obelisk points directly at the night sky, giving it a quiet and mysterious feeling.

But that feeling was spoiled by the Book of Knowledge flapping its pages frantically above the obelisk, and a huge thick black and white line emerged from the obelisk, passed through it, and connected to the night sky.

That is the spiritless soul.

Judging from the thickness of the line, it is consuming a huge amount of soul every second.

"Book!" Rhodes shouted.

The Book of Knowledge turned around, saw Rhodes, and immediately wrote madly: "Hahahaha! I posted it! I posted it! With so many souls, the dream protection can be repaired!"

Rhodes was overjoyed, and asked again: "Book! Is the soul enough for me to ignite the stars?"

The Book of Knowledge fanned wildly: "Enough! Enough! I can't believe that there is such a distorted vision. Generally speaking, the source of power gathered to this level will continue to be silent until Form a powerful soul, the monster formed at that time is not something you can defeat now."

Happiness is indeed contagious, and Rhode couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect it either, but the most unexpected thing is that it actually has soul firewood. How can a dark existence have dream creations? What is the reason for this, do you know?"

Nine parts of soul firewood is equivalent to 90 points of divinity, and 20 points will be added to destroying the twisted vision and saving the storm castle, which is equivalent to earning 110 points of divinity in one breath.

This is Rhodes' single largest income so far.

He was eager to know the reason, if the soul firewood could be obtained in this way, he would not need to make it with divinity.

But the Book of Knowledge was unexpectedly silent.

It flipped twice in the air, and wrote in a slightly unwilling text: "This is not knowledge...I have no similar memory."

Rhodes nodded, "Not knowledge" is actually an answer.

He had several guesses, but could not be sure.

"Go and ignite new stars!"

The book of knowledge writes impatiently.

"[Wind Phantom] is very powerful, and your strength can be further improved. We can have a better chance of winning in the face of invasion, and maybe we can complete the quantification of other stars ahead of schedule..."

The Book of Knowledge chattered endlessly, but Rhodes was relatively calm instead.

Jiufen's soul firewood wrapped in gray mist is quietly placed at the foot of the obelisk-materials plundered by dreams usually appear here.

Rhodes took seven of them, and took out [Fra's Soul of the Devourer Queen] and [Nightmare Lord Latopep's Soul] from the soul altar.

These two very great souls are equivalent to seven great souls.

Especially the latter, also has five sources.

Rhodes glanced at the numbers on the obelisk, and saw that it was written.

Soul Strength: 302200
Soul Stars: 7
Humanity: 2150 million

Divinity: 0
Spiritless Souls: 8.9 billion

-

The divinity is all exhausted, and you must wait for the next moment when the stars shine before you can get it.

The explosion of human nature is simply inexhaustible.

The most important thing is enough of the spiritless soul!

To ignite [Wind Phantom], you need 7 great souls, 7 million souls, 7 soul firewood, and 7 sources.

Totally enough!
Rhodes carried the supplies and touched the obelisk with his forehead.

The world turned upside down in an instant, and he once again came to the wilderness of soul.

This time the flying speed was much faster than before, but after a while, Rhodes came to a cloud of ashes in the outer circle.

It was a strange mass of ashes, looking like a wriggling black shadow, strangely translucent.

The words of the Book of Knowledge appeared in my mind: "This is [Phantom of the Wind], light it quickly, I can't wait to get rid of this weak state."

Rhodes nodded, and put 7 pieces of soul firewood in turn, and 2 very great souls into them.

The 5 sources in [The Soul of Nightmare Lord Latopep] were also added, and with the addition of the 3 sources obtained before, there was even 1 more source.

The Book of Knowledge uses "source transformation" to keep the extra intangible and intangible "source" in the dream.

A 01:30 transparent light black flame ignited on the ashes of the stars, like a window screen that flutters without wind.

Rhode thought, and a huge thick black and white line fell from the sky and penetrated straight into the ashes.

7 million spiritless souls joined in an instant.

The flame soared into the sky, and instantly became extremely turbulent, at least as high as a three-story building, but it was still translucent, showing a faint black.

Rhodes looked up at the strange flame, and a line of text gradually emerged.

【Phantom of the Wind】

[Status: Constant burning]

[Star Energy: Mirror Image Phantom (Wind)]

[Injection: None]

【Fire: No】

[Quantitative: Wind Feather]

【Position: Eternal Flame】

[Strength: 300000]

[Description: They don't know, I miss you looking back and smiling when you took the initiative to hold me. 】

-

What the hell!

Even though Rhodes had used his best imagination in advance, he didn't expect it to have a strength of 30.

You know, the sum of his seven stars is only so much.

My strength has doubled like this?

Rhode couldn't believe it for a moment, but felt that it was reasonable.

What this star ate was the souls of the Queen of Worms and the Lord of Nightmares.

The strength of those two is obvious to all. I eat their souls and become a little bit stronger. Is it too much?

Rhodes looked down and looked at the floating text below.

[Star Power: Mirror Image Phantom (Wind)]: Create a mirror image phantom of wind, you can control it to use all your power, but the consumption of psionic energy is double, and the damage it receives will be fed back to your soul .

Ok?
Rhode's eyes suddenly lit up.

This ability seems to have a lot of effects?
Rhodes thought of many combat methods in an instant.

It can share all of its power with you, but it consumes several times more psionic energy than its main body.

You must try its power in a while.

Rhodes thought.

With a thought, he jumped out of the dream, raised his head, and saw the new number at a glance.

Soul Strength: 602200
Soul Stars: 8
Humanity: 2151 million

Divinity: 1
Spiritless Souls: 1.1 billion

-

it is good!
Rhodes was overjoyed.

The eighth star finally ignited me.

I am stronger again!
On the soul surface of the obelisk, the eighth star lit up, it was faint black, the light was not very dazzling, but it was solid.

Hahahaha!

Rhodes smiled happily, feeling that he had been reborn in every gesture, and powerful spiritual energy roared in his veins, making him wish he could go on the field to kill the enemy now.

The bonus of 30 soul strength is not fake.

Rhodes decided to study this new skill as soon as he went back.

But the matter is not over yet.

The source material "Children of the Stars" is lying quietly on the base of the tower.

It shone like a deep purple gem with a dull light.

After Rhodes killed the soul born on it, the source material itself was not destroyed, but was purified instead of being polluted, and it felt like being reborn from the ashes.

Perhaps it is the "ashes" of the newborn monster.

As we all know, the monster is filthy, but the ashes of the monster are pure.

Rhodes remembered that there was a "quantified" star that needed source matter called "Son of the Star".

Soon, he found it.

It is 【Elegy of the Spirit】.

Rhodes picked up the "Son of the Stars" and threw himself into the [Elegy of the Spirit].

A strong light suddenly sounded on the surface of the soul tablet, and then fell like a stream of water.

At this moment, [Elegy of the Spirit] became the brightest star in the night sky on the surface of the monument.

A new line of text appears.

【Elegy of the Spirit】

[Status: Origin]

【Position: Above the Spirit World】

[Star Power: Endless Spirit]

[Strength: 120000]

[Description: She has fallen, but her faith remains. 】

-

Powerful psychic energy roared in his body, and Rhodes felt this unparalleled power. At this moment, he had never felt that he was so strong.

"Book!"

Rhodes was about to turn his head, when suddenly, the dream darkened again, and the world shone with a strange red light.

He couldn't move, and his whole body fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" Rhodes said in amazement.

"idiot!"

The Book of Knowledge turned its pages tremblingly, looking very angry.

"It's all your fault! [Spirit Boat] has been quantified!"
