the last king of darkness

Chapter 435 The corpse of the king (second update)
The soaring black dust fell, and the once powerful Soul Eater was left with only a few piles of ashes.

Sauron scraped open the ashes, took out the coagulated ashes of the monster, and put them in the ashes bag he carried.

"Four pieces of ashes of strong super-level monsters."

Sauron laughed so hard that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

"It can also make a large tablet of medicine, or boil hundreds of pots of ashes soup."

Jessica inserted the six giant swords back into her back and said calmly, "I don't feel any danger for now."

Rhodes glanced back at the dreamland.

On the Star Square, a number with divinity +12 is still floating behind the mist.

Obviously, the task of cleaning up the scars of death has not been completed. When the battle of Starry Sky City begins, the place will still be disturbed, and the awakened monsters will attack humans from behind, causing chaos and losses.

The Book of Knowledge reminds: "The strange behavior of Soul Eaters and the enhancement they receive."

Rhodes also remembered what Asa told him when he entered the Scar of Death, and knew that there was a powerful monster lurking here, and it was most likely an undead.

He immediately returned to his body and said, "Don't be too happy, our task has not been completed yet."

Sauron put away his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the psychic riot may have awakened new monsters. The Soul Eater has undergone strange changes. We still need to investigate the cause of the scar of death."

Jessica asked suspiciously, "Why did the Soul Eaters charge one after another? Did they sense my invasion?"

Sauron said in a deep voice: "Maybe the first Soul Eater you killed alarmed them. Anyway, let's start investigating the scars of death, maybe we can find their answer."

This proposal was unanimously approved by all three.

Jessica lifted her awakening state, and with a burst of intense light, she transformed from that huge lizard into a beautiful girl again.

Rhodes was quite disappointed to find that her clothes were intact, and she thought there would be some transformation benefits.

Jessica noticed Rhodes' eyes, and said with a smile: "Little Rhodes, my clothes are specially made soul equipment. We are the daughters of demons who have been fighting all the year round. We have been promoted and grown in the battle of life and death. Don't you Do you think we'd be foolish enough to tear our clothes?"

Rhodes curled his lips and said, "Monsters are not humans, and they have no will. What's the matter with being appreciated by our own people? It can also make us feel happy and improve everyone's combat efficiency. Isn't that good?"

when!
Sauron slammed Rhodes on the head and reprimanded.

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about? You let the most beautiful and charming girls in our royal city naked to fight on the battlefield?"

Rhodes shrugged: "I didn't say that. What I said was that clothes exploded during transformation. Naked naked running is too primitive. Exploding clothes is the art and romance of human beings."

Sauron was so angry that his head was full of veins, but he didn't want to argue with Rhodes. He had secretly decided in his heart that when the battle was over, he must go back to the king's city and report Rhodes' weird remarks to the king. This guy is already a guardian. The king's control is the best.

But he didn't notice that Jessica's eyes were flickering, as if she was thinking about something.

The three began to explore along the canyon.

Although the Scar of Death is a canyon, it is still a thousand yards wide, with rotten mud under its feet, bottomless darkness above its head, and thick black mist around its body, as if at the bottom of an abyss.

Sauron is an experienced veteran who has experienced many ruins and is also very good at exploration.

"This is the sedimentary terrain. After the rain, the water floods the canyon year after year. The canyon is deep and the water evaporates less, and this muddy state is slowly formed."

"Attention, these sludges are mixed with a lot of pollution and are very corrosive. After going back, the legs must be specially purified."

"There are no traces of other monsters' activities here, and the Soul Eater dominates this area."

"Look, this pit is where the Soul Eater has been silent all year round. It exudes strong corrosion. Let's search it as soon as possible, and don't stay for long."

From this pit, the trio recovered some decayed and damaged armor, but nothing in particular.

At this moment, it was raining from the sky. This was the first time that Rhodes had encountered rain. The bean-sized raindrops were black, like ink, and made a rattling sound when they hit the ground.

The black rain quickly became larger, forming a torrential rain, and the sound of clattering flooded the sky and the earth.

The three opened up their spiritual protection, replaced the red tearstone, took the purification potion, and continued to explore in the rain.

Black water flowed across the ground. I don't know if it was the reason for the heavy rain. Some silt was washed away, exposing the hard rocky ground.

They also found some broken swords, large shields, and even a tattered and blackened banner.

The starry kingdom's exclusive starry logo can be vaguely seen on the flag, and below it is a vaguely recognizable pattern, which seems to be related to the sword and shield.

Sauron said in a deep voice: "This is the flag of the Fighting Star Knights. It is one of the strongest knights in the Kingdom of Stars. It is called the Shield of the Kingdom. We haven't been able to find any trace of it. It turned out to be destroyed here. "

Jessica said softly: "I heard that every knight order in the Kingdom of Stars has an artifact or a semi-artifact. If the Star Knights are wiped out here, will their artifacts also be here?"

This sentence made Sauron's heart flutter. Jessica's words are very possible. The power of the artifact is extremely strong. Trorian currently only has one real artifact, and that is the White Tower.

The Resonance Computing is a man-made artifact, the king artifact that carries the holy flame is also an artifact, and the Soul Ringing Heart that builds the World Clock Tower is also an artifact.

In addition, what everyone owns is actually a semi-artifact, or simply a pseudo-artifact.

If the lost artifact can be found, Trorian's power will definitely be greatly increased, and the chances of winning the attack on Starry Sky City will increase again.

"Let's search carefully." Sauron said in a deep voice, "Don't let go of a clue."

The three continued to walk forward, and they soon found more armor and broken swords. On some armor, they saw vague star marks and the crest of the Star Knights.

This is the place where the Fighting Star Knights will be destroyed. The possibility of greatly increasing.

But for some reason, they did not find the remains of the knight.

"Will it rot?" Rhodes asked.

Sauron shook his head: "Impossible, under the shroud of black mist, there are only two possibilities for the corpse, either stiffen into a fossil, or distorted into a monster, and most of them are the latter."

Jessica raised her eyebrows: "Maybe those monsters were eaten by Soul Eater."

"It's possible, but I don't think it's a big deal." Sauron said, "Let's look for it separately, don't be too far away, and contact us immediately if there is any situation."

The three separated immediately, and Rhodes recovered a little now, and walking was not a problem.

The Scar of Death Canyon is very large and long, and the terrain is slightly tilted forward. The black water formed countless tributaries on the ground and flowed forward.

Rhodes stepped on the muddy water, carefully searched every inch of the land, and soon found more traces. They were scattered in the mud, mostly fragments of armor and weapons, but still no corpses or monsters were seen.

He tried asking the Book of Knowledge.

The Book of Knowledge replied helplessly: "Master, even by the most tolerant standard, this is not knowledge, it is just something that happened."

Rhodes thought of Asa again at this time, but his soul hadn't recovered yet, and the other half of his shattered soul was slowly gathering here.

But Rhodes didn't have that patience anymore, he went up and killed Asa's remnant soul.

A cloud of gray air flew over, and Asa was immediately revived in the soul altar.

"What are you doing?" Asa said angrily, "Don't you know how painful it is to be stabbed to death? I didn't run away, I was resurrecting into the dream."

Rhodes said impatiently: "Okay, I have something to ask you, do you know where the remains of the Knights are?"

Asa said angrily, "How do I know? I'm not an all-knowing and all-powerful God."

Rhode said in a deep voice, "Asa, you'd better cooperate, I'm the master here."

Asa sneered: "So what? I won't tell you that you can find what you want through the direction of the water."

Rhodes nodded, and immediately left the dreamland.

Opening his eyes, in the darkness, the torrential rain submerged the figures of the three of them, even the eyes of the soul couldn't see very far.

The black water flows wantonly on the ground, branching out countless branches.

But vaguely, they all seem to be pointing in the same direction.

Follow the flow.

Asa's words flashed in Rhodes' mind, and he strode forward along the direction of the water.

The black rain curtain rushed towards the face, and the black mist rolled in the heavy rain, making it even thicker.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Rhodes suddenly discovered that the black water was flowing towards the side of the cliff, and a bottomless cave appeared in front of him.

Must be here!

Rhodes immediately sent a psychic message through the flame sign, and Sauron and Jessica rushed over quickly.

"What did you find?" Sauron asked first.

His eyes glowed, obviously knowing that Rhodes would not shoot him indiscriminately.

Rhodes pointed to the cave: "There seems to be something under here."

"it is good."

Sauron watched for a moment, then walked down cautiously.

Rhodes and Jessica followed closely behind.

Along the way, Sauron was very nervous, but he didn't touch any traps, and there were no accidents.

The three arrived at the bottom of the cave smoothly, and unexpectedly found that the black water gathered here, but they were not submerged by the water.

A corpse lay prone in the water, and the black water sank into its body along its arms.

Surprised, Sauron shouted, "Be careful!"

But neither Rhodes nor Jessica moved. Although the corpse was weird, neither of them saw or felt threatened.

Rhode walked over carefully and looked at it carefully.

The armor on the corpse has been rotten, and it has become a fragment hanging on it, and the long sword is so rotten that only a hilt remains.

The corpse had dried up and turned black, but for some reason it didn't turn into a monster.

Rhodes faintly felt that there was a force restraining it.

Sauron shouted: "Be careful, Rhodes, let's go back."

"No!"

Rhode's eyes were slightly bright, one arm of the corpse was arched, and the figure was slightly sideways, as if it was protecting something.

He took a few steps forward and saw two lines of writing written under its arms.

——The Kingdom of Stars, where the Fighting Star Knights were destroyed.

——We are hopeless, the darkness is invincible, all efforts, sacrifices, blood, and struggles are all in vain, why?
It was engraved in stone, and it is still clearly visible even after all this time.

Rhodes was startled, and then he noticed that a stone pillar pierced his chest. This once powerful knight had already died.

"This is the Knight Commander of the Fighting Star Knights."

Sauron said, seeing at a glance the emptiness under his arms.

Apparently, the artifact-like weapon of the Fighting Star Knights had long since disappeared.

"Why can he persist in the black mist for so long?" Rhodes asked.

"do not know."

After searching for a while and finding no secrets, Sauron temporarily gave up.

"Get out, there's nothing here."

But at this moment, the corpse suddenly moved.
