the last king of darkness

Chapter 368
One person, one book, one puppet and one evil ghost stood in front of the obelisk, waiting for the nightmare to come.

The red light on the obelisk disappeared, the dream dimmed, and the night sky turned black like mud.

"coming!"

Rhode's heart tightened, and the Book of Knowledge took a few steps back in fright, only the puppet and the king of evil spirits remained motionless.

In the distance, beyond the tumbling white mist, on the edge of the clearly visible dreamland, a huge shadow was projected.

It is approaching rapidly.

"It's here!"

The book of knowledge frantically flipped through the pages and kept writing a sentence.

"It's coming! It's coming! It's coming!"

boom!
The whole dream world shook.

A strange buzzing sound rang in my ears, like the sound of glass dragging on the ground, and the obelisk behind me hummed.

"What's going on?" Rhodes shouted.

The book of knowledge quickly wrote: "Dream protection is suppressing it! Nightmare is not reconciled to being suppressed, and is fighting!"

The noise was getting louder and louder, like countless gravel rubbing against each other, murmurs and whispers sounded in my ears.

Rhodes saw at a glance that his humanity was crazily declining.

"This thing is polluted!"

"Ahhhhh! I'm not clean anymore!" The book of knowledge flew around, turned around and rushed into the house of gods. There was a hazy layer of white mist on the house, blocking the erosion of pollution.

The puppet stood still, and the king of evil spirits took two steps forward to block everyone.

As the shadows drew closer, noises and whispers became more pronounced.

Rhodes' heart tightened. Before that, he thought it was about the same as Heragatos, the god of rebirth.

But now it seems that it is obviously stronger than the corpse of the flesh and blood god.

The speed of the shadow gradually slowed down, as if it had encountered some kind of resistance, some kind of strange force was blocking it, and an invisible light was flickering crazily as the intruder broke in.

Although Rhodes couldn't see anything, the discomfort caused by the flickering light was very clear.

The Book of Knowledge hurriedly wrote: "The nightmare is fighting against the dream, don't look directly! Their power level is much higher than yours!"

Rhodes turned his eyes sideways, and the discomfort really disappeared.

But the trembling of the dream became bigger and bigger, and a huge roar gradually came from the depths of the obelisk.

Rhodes couldn't help but worry a little, wouldn't the dream be split apart?
The Book of Knowledge seemed to realize something, and Kuang wrote: "Guardian of the Darkness! Quick, use the Guardian of the Darkness! The nightmare is trying to exert pressure from outside the dream and destroy us! Once the obelisk is destroyed, the dreamland will collapse again!"

Rhode's heart trembled, and he immediately crushed the "Guardian of Darkness" in his hand.

A layer of bright light immediately enveloped the obelisk like a giant pillar, the roar quickly weakened and disappeared, and the trembling of the dream also stopped.

Even so!

Rhodes discovered for the first time that the item "Guardian of the Darkness" is much more important than imagined.

Fortunately, I took twelve when I jumped left and right, and now there are nine left, which should be enough for a long time.

However, although the dream stopped trembling, the irritating whispers and whispers became more and more clear.

The invisible light stopped flickering and became darker. The white mist of the dream was dispelled to a corner, and a huge shadow crossed the edge and entered the dream.

The moment it appeared, Rhodes felt the air tightened, making it hard to breathe.

An invisible force surged from all directions, squeezing towards the terrifying black shadow.

The Book of Knowledge shouted: "That is the nightmare of the dead soul! The collection of evil in the spirit world, the cursed thing formed by the shadow of the will of the living beings, it is silent in the depths of darkness, representing darkness and necrosis, and is the sworn enemy of dreams. "

Rhodes held his breath, and in front of his eyes was an unprecedented huge black shadow.

It has no fixed body shape, just like a mass of foul-smelling black silt, twisted weirdly, splitting out countless flagellum-like tentacles.

With its presence, whispers and whispers rose high, like growling in the ear.

The human nature declined crazily, and pieces of turquoise rust grew on the doll's body.

The gigantic evil ghost king was not spared either, and flesh-colored mushroom flowers bloomed on its well-developed muscles, blooming one after another.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Rhodes felt a biting chill in the air, and tiny ice crystals fell.

The Book of Knowledge yelled: "Master! Come on! The nightmare is eroding the dreamland, we are polluted!"

Rhodes took a deep breath, and subconsciously gave the King of Evil Ghosts an attack order.

The king of evil spirits roared, spread his huge fleshy wings, and rushed up with rumbling steps.

Rhodes knew that the King of Evil Ghosts was a pure dream creature, characterized by profound spiritual power and powerful melee combat ability, and in the dream world, its spiritual power recovered very quickly, and it was almost impossible to be defeated from the front. Excellent meat shield.

Before the invasion, the Book of Knowledge specifically emphasized to him that sending it up to beat a strong enemy is not a wrong choice.

Anyway, the king of evil spirits has rough skin and thick flesh, and he can be resurrected in the stone jar of evil spirits after death.

But this time, Rhodes felt that this choice seemed wrong.

As the evil ghost king approached, its entire body began to distort, and more and more fleshy mushroom flowers bloomed, almost covering its body surface. Its movements became slower and slower, and hoarfrost spread from its feet, gradually It freezes.

The king of evil ghosts didn't even have a single punch, he turned into a statue, standing still in front of the nightmare.

Rhode's heart sank. He originally planned to use the king of evil spirits to test Nightmare's ability, so he hurriedly shouted, "Book, what's going on?"

The book of knowledge also froze, turning the pages in vain, unable to write a single word.

But the puppet who had been silent all this time suddenly said: "Nightmare has a strong source."

"Qianyuan?"

Rhodes was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered that Qiangyuan was a law with a higher personality and closer to the original.

Any existence with a strong source is extremely dangerous and powerful. It has terrifying and incomprehensible abilities, a more powerful soul and deeper spiritual energy.

It is said that the source of strength is the core key for a monster to move from a strong level to a king level.

Without a strong source, no matter how powerful the psychic power is, the monster is always a strong super-level, and cannot cross the thunder pool half a step.

"Is it a king-level monster?" Rhodes asked in shock.

The eye of the soul is basically ineffective in the dream, he can't see the strength of the monster.

"Do not."

The puppet denied it.

"It's not king yet."

"I know!" The Book of Knowledge suddenly shouted: "It must be the source of power that swallowed up a copy of the Ice Law!"

"No wonder it can resist dream protection like this!"

Biting cold air hits the face, the temperature of the dreamland is dropping rapidly, and patches of hoarfrost appear on the ground.

Rhodes shouted anxiously: "Then what should I do now?"

The Book of Knowledge shouted: "Time! I need time! The dream protection is trying to suppress it, as long as there is enough time, I can use the dream protection to break through its soul defense!"

The puppet said: "We must attack! The nightmare is eroding the dream protection from the inside. Once the protection is eroded and disabled, we are finished!"

Rhodes understood, no wonder Nightmare hadn't moved since entering the dream, and had been standing still.

Black traces are spreading under its feet, which are extremely conspicuous under the reflection of hoarfrost.

The puppet said again: "The king of evil spirits is our main force, we must release its control."

"How to remove it?"

"Use the psychic cannon."

Rhodes frowned: "Shall I bombard the King of Evil Ghosts with a psychic cannon?"

"Yes, the psychic power of destruction can assist it to clean up the pollution and lift the ice."

"……All right."

Rhodes took a deep breath and raised his hand to shoot a psychic cannon.

After being promoted to "Psionic Multiplayer", [Justice Execution] no longer needs a prelude, and can directly shoot in seconds.

The "psychic multiplayer" in the first two seconds was not very powerful, but its destructive nature remained the same. The white light flooded half of the evil ghost king's body, and the flesh-colored mushroom flowers fell off one after another and disappeared into the white light. Quickly lift.

Rhodes moved the white light and shot the Evil King's whole body. After a few seconds, the Evil King regained his ability to move and hit Nightmare with a heavy punch.

boom!
The loud bang shook Rhode's ears with only humming.

On the black mud, a huge shock wave spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the irritating murmur stopped.

Nightmare's body trembled, and the flagellum-like tentacles suddenly came back to their senses, and entangled themselves with the King of Evil Ghosts.

The two sides were entangled together, and the huge psychic energy collided with each other, like the surface of a lake under a heavy rain, causing countless ripples.

Rhodes watched in amazement as the King of Evil Ghosts was holding countless tentacles, swinging his fists and violently attacking Nightmare. Every inch of its muscles had powerful spiritual energy spinning, and the tentacles could hardly restrain its movements.

"Why do I feel that the king of evil spirits is stronger than before?"

The puppet replied: "Dream creatures will grow stronger with the strength of the dream. There are quantified stars connected to the sea of ​​origin, which will continuously supply energy, and some of them will be provided to the dream creatures for them to grow."

It was so!
Rhodes was excited: "Doesn't that mean that if more stars are quantified, the king of evil spirits will become stronger and stronger?"

"Yes."

The puppet replied calmly: "Not only it, but also me and the book of knowledge."

"We are all dream creations, and we all need dream energy, otherwise it would be difficult to carry out real activities. The Book of Knowledge obtained the spirit of another strong man to wake up so early."

The puppet paused, then continued.

"However, its spirit is still incomplete, and it cannot better control the dream protection. The nightmare has the upper hand in the confrontation, and we are going to go."

As soon as the voice fell, two bright yellow spiritual energy light blades protruded from the doll's wrist, and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations flashed past it.

In the next moment, the puppet shot away like an arrow from the string, and the psychic light blade directly inserted into the body of Nightmare, scraping off a large group of black mud-like substances abruptly.

Dozens of flagella are entwined towards it, and the puppet dexterously moves and flashes among the flagella, shuttling through the black forest like a butterfly.

It kept waving the psionic light blade, cutting off pieces of black matter one after another.

it is good!
Rhodes clenched his fists.

I didn't expect the doll to be so powerful!

Its soul can hide psionic energy just like a human being, but I didn't even see it.

Rhodes felt hot blood rushing up in his chest, and the ruby ​​brooch exuded bubbling heat, flowing all over his body.

He raised his hands, and the ten star shuttles gathered at his fingertips.

The powerful output of psionic energy caught the attention of Nightmare. It tried to attack Rhodes, but was suppressed by the dream protection and could not move.

The evil ghost king and the puppet blocked most of the tentacles, allowing Rhode's complete star shuttle to be completed smoothly.

Accompanied by ten sharp chirps, ten star shuttles dragged ten long trails, hitting the nightmare.

The power of one Star Shuttle is 5, and the power of ten Star Shuttles is 5!
boom!
The star shuttle exploded, and under the starlight all over the sky, black matter spilled all over the ground, then evaporated and dissipated into the dreamland.

it is good!
Rhodes was happy, it worked!

He clearly saw the black traces spreading on the ground being pressed back by an invisible force.

Obviously, the power of dream protection has gained the upper hand again.

Rhodes glanced back, the Book of Knowledge was hiding in the House of God, the whole book was surrounded by white mist, and the pages of the book were frantically flipping, obviously manipulating the dream protection with all its strength.

Now is not the time to save energy.

Rhodes summoned the phantom, and with a thought, they raised their hands at the same time, a huge amount of spiritual energy gushed out from their bodies, and twenty star shuttles condensed at the same time.

So strong!

Rhodes couldn't help showing a smile, it was the first time he felt that he had such a powerful force.

And this kind of power, he can use it repeatedly, unlike the infinite spiritual cannon that can only be used once.

The Book of Knowledge also warned him that infinity [Awakening] must never be used in the dream, so Rhodes would not use "Psionic Multiplayer" unless he was sure that he could eliminate the nightmare.

Therefore, Star Shuttle is his best means of attack.

That's right!

I am no longer a weak person who can only use big moves, I am a high-level combatant, a member of the strong human beings!
boom!
Twenty star shuttles were launched at the same time, hitting Nightmare right in the middle.

Twenty times the power of the explosion blasted a big hole in Nightmare's body, and the black matter flew all over the sky.

However, as soon as Rhodes showed joy, he felt a biting chill hit his face, and the penetrating power of the noise suddenly increased, like a steel cone nailed into the eardrum and straight through the brain.

Grass!
What's going on here?
Human nature declined sharply, and the ruby ​​brooch on his chest could not resist the erosion of the cold.

In front of the puppet, there were large areas of turquoise corrosion marks and hoarfrost. The light blade of spiritual energy flickered, its movements became slow, and a tentacle lashed at it heavily, sending it flying.

On the other side, flesh-colored mushroom flowers grew on the evil ghost king's body again, and a strong cold air rushed over, freezing it in place.

Losing the king of evil spirits, the black marks on the ground spread wildly, and the wounds on Nightmare's body were also recovering rapidly.

"Owner!"

The puppet fell to the ground and shouted in an urgent tone never before: "Let the king of evil spirits recover!"

Rhode immediately raised his hand, and a psychic cannon shot past, and the destructive white light quickly removed the growths and frost on the Evil King's body.

The king of evil spirits regained his ability to move again and fought with Nightmare.

But this time, the nightmare gradually suppressed it, and the tentacles greatly restricted the movements of the king of evil ghosts, making it difficult for him to break free.

The black traces also continued to spread in the dreamland, even climbing up along the transparent air.

The Book of Knowledge shouted: "What are you doing? I'm going to be corrupted! The dream protection is being polluted from within!"

The dream became even darker, and even the stars in the sky were hidden.

At this moment, the puppet suddenly said: "Master, give me a little divinity."

"Give."

In such a critical situation, Rhodes made a decision in an instant, without any hesitation, and with a thought, a little golden light flew out of the obelisk and fell into its hands.

It is the only 1 point of divinity left in the dream.

The puppet held the golden light and gently pressed it on the heart.

In the next instant, all the turquoise rust on its body disappeared, the hoarfrost melted, and golden light enveloped its whole body, making it look like it was wearing golden armor.

The puppet stood up, and two extremely long golden blades protruded from its wrists. Unprecedented powerful spiritual energy waves emanated from it, blowing towards its face like a storm.

This feeling!
At least level [-] psionic power!

This is the psychic power level only for first-level combatants!

Rhodes said in horror: "Are you..."

The puppet raised the golden blade and replied calmly: "I am Aphrodite, your loyal servant."

boom!
A golden streamer directly collided with Nightmare, a huge wave of spiritual energy exploded like an explosion, and a huge piece of black matter flew down from Nightmare's body.

"It's also the knight who guards the dreamland!"

Nightmare seemed to feel the pain for the first time, its huge body trembled continuously, more than half of its tentacles rushed towards the puppet, surpassing the number for the king of evil spirits for the first time.

The puppet greeted it head-on, fighting with the nightmare.

It was as if a golden rainstorm fell in front of Rhodes' eyes. It was a sharp blade swaying at an extremely fast speed, and countless black tentacles were cut off and fell.

On the other side, the pressure on the King of Evil Ghosts was greatly reduced, and it began to hammer the nightmare again.

The Book of Knowledge laughed wildly: "Okay! Good good! I suppress it!"

The invisible force once again suppressed the spread of the dark traces.

However, the situation did not particularly improve.

Nightmare constantly strengthened the power of pollution and ice. Every moment, the king of evil spirits would be frozen, and Rhodes had to bombard him with a cannon to release it.

And as time went by, the temperature of the dreamland was dropping at an extremely fast speed. White frost covered all areas except the obelisk, and the bone-chilling chill penetrated the ruby ​​brooch and Rhodes' spiritual defense, invading the His soul slowed his psychic energy and slowed his movements.

After fighting for a while, Rhodes felt very bad, and asked anxiously, "Book, how long is it?"

The entire Book of Knowledge was shrouded in a thick white mist, and in the white mist, frost formed, making it difficult to turn its pages.

"Quick, quick!" it wrote with difficulty.

Another gust of cold air rushed towards the face, the world seemed to be frozen in frost, and the king of evil spirits was once again frozen into ice.

When Rhodes was about to raise his hand, there was a pop, and the phantom could not bear the damage of the ice and disappeared.

In the next moment, Rhodes felt as if a large piece of ice had been inserted into his soul, freezing his thinking and stagnating his psionic energy.

In the icy world, only the golden light was left to flicker, but only one doll could not exert pressure on the nightmare, and the black traces of corruption spread in the dream like a spider web.

Rhode's heart sank a little bit.

-

-

Fortress of Courage.

The joint force composed of seven elite war regiments triumphed again, and the fortress was full of laughter.

In the case of complete preparations, the ghosts can't cause them too much trouble. The soldiers are most afraid of urgent missions, fatigue combat, and casualties often occur in these two situations.

But now, the number of ghosts on the dead land has decreased a lot, and there is no particularly dangerous group of ghosts.

It only takes two more rounds of combat, and the crisis on the dead ground can be resolved.

Everyone is very happy, and there are lively chatter and laughter everywhere. In the context of Trorian's expansion to the west, such a victory is especially commendable.

Bailang and the others are already discussing how to make the battle report more beautiful.

Of course, the distribution of the most important military exploits must be fair.

This is the basic quality of being a king.

The "undefeated" Jessica guarded the battlefields on both sides alone, withstood the greatest pressure, and wiped out countless ghosts.

"Black Idiot" Rhodes used his undisputed super endurance to suppress the number of the ghost group, and bought valuable rest time for the main force, which can also be counted as the first contribution.

As we all know, there are two first achievements, which is a very reasonable thing.

As for Your Highness, she has a special status and is not included in the calculation of military achievements.

As long as what she has done is written down without increasing or decreasing, the Supreme Council will naturally know her role.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Qingyu didn't make many moves, she was the core of the deadly battlefield.

Without her support, the main force couldn't fight at all, and Rhodes couldn't last that long.

Everyone here has a rest time, but Qingyu doesn't.

This is also one of the characteristics of "Eternal Burning Fire". As long as her resonance fire is not extinguished, her spirit will never be tired.

Of course, not resting for too long will not work, as it will weaken her resonance with the fire.

Qingyu is still able to withstand it.

But what worries White Wolf very much is that Qingyu is not willing to participate in the complicated battle for king election.

Similar affairs are done by white wolves, which is unqualified for a future king.

Although White Wolf hates the cruel Jon very much, he has to admit that Wang sometimes has to make some cold considerations. Qingyu has to make some changes and needs some people to assist her.

The candidate of Rhodes is what he currently thinks is very suitable.

She has huge potential and high prestige, and she will use unscrupulous means at critical moments. Although she is a little immature, she can grow.

In the future, as Qingyu's husband, he can assist her with some affairs.

Trorian has a tradition of the king's husband or wife regent, and the Supreme Council will take this detail into consideration when choosing the next king.

Therefore, showing affection to Rhodes and tying him to Qingyu's chariot is also White Wolf's strategy.

Of course, with Qingyu's status, it is impossible for a husband to be a king, and White Wolf will select nine equally outstanding people to form the ruling group of husbands together.

It's a very good concept.

But how to design it specifically needs to be considered.

While White Wolf was studying hard, a servant broke in and shouted: "It's bad! Your Excellency White Wolf, something happened to the fireplace hall, something happened to Rhodes!"

"What did you say!"

White Wolf stood up abruptly and knocked over the table.

"Notify Your Highness quickly!"

"Eternal Burning Fire" can simulate many characteristics. Although the effect is poor, it is the most versatile. It is right to find her for anything.

The fireplace hall is the fire protection sacrificial site of the Fortress of Courage, where the fire protection takes root.

The extinguishment of the guardian fire is the most terrible thing, and Rhodes is the prince he finally delineated, and the consequences of the accident are also very bad.

The white wolf didn't have time to say more, and rushed to the fireplace hall as quickly as possible.

He first saw the guardian fire burning in the Horcrux, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Then he glanced over the warriors, fire priests, and priests in the hall, and saw Rhodes in the corner.

His whole body exuded a strong cold air, and the frost covered his whole body and spread to the surroundings. The corner where he was was turned into a world of ice, which even fire could not melt.

Bai Lang frowned for a moment: "What's going on? What's wrong with him?"

A soldier replied: "Your Excellency White Wolf, I was sitting next to him to meditate, and he suddenly became very cold, but it became like this after a while."

The fire priest in the fireplace hall said: "I didn't notice any abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations. His soul didn't mutate, distort, or corrupt. It seems to be some kind of curse!"

"Yes, it must be some kind of curse!" A clergyman shouted: "His ice cannot be touched, and has a strong erosive power. I tried many methods to no avail, and I couldn't get close."

At this time, Qingyu and Aluo also rushed to the hall.

As soon as Ah Luo saw Rhodes, she screamed: "Little Rhodes!" She was about to pounce on him, but was immediately held back.

"Be careful! Miss A Luo!"

"Dangerous, he can't touch it, his soul will be frostbitten."

White Wolf informed Qing Yu of the situation in the shortest possible language, and said, "Your Highness, we must go to the Royal City as quickly as possible to invite the soul master over."

"That's too late!"

Qingyu keenly saw that Rhode's soul was crumbling in the cold.

The white wolf guessed Qingyu's intentions immediately, immediately stretched out his hand, and said sharply: "No! You can't go there, your safety rests on the hopes of countless people, and no one is more important than you!"

But it was too late, the white wolf made nothing, and Qingyu had already come to Rhodes.

The cold air hit her face, and Qingyu's whole body was ignited with flames. She squatted down gently, trying to touch Rhodes' cheek with her fingertips.

But the moment he touched it, the fire went out.

The white wolf shouted urgently: "Miss! It's dangerous! That's not ordinary cold!"

Qingyu turned a deaf ear, powerful spiritual energy circulated in her body, almost liquid spiritual light flickered on her body, her skin became transparent, and then burst into flames.

Then, inch by inch, her body turned into flames, starting from her fingertips.

The turbulent heat rushed to the face, as if a round of sun was rising in front of everyone's eyes.

Qingyu, who had transformed into a golden flame, gently hugged Rhodes and melted him into her body.

Two in one.
