Chapter 498 Facing the Darkness
Facing the evil murloc rushing towards him, Rhodes immediately used the mage ball, and an invisible force pulled it to stop it from approaching.

But then, the black pus on the surface of the evil murloc's body surged, and pale, twisted arms grew out of them, growing longer and grabbing Rhodes.

Rhodes felt that he was being watched by a cold will, and he quickly backed away while setting his body on fire.

It may be that Rhodes has exhausted the power that the ancient god left in his body, so now the flame burning on his body is no longer dark green, but a pitch black flame with white shimmer.

The current evil murloc has completely lost its original shape, no longer looking like a creature, but turned into a black ball covered with arms and legs.

Black pus dripped continuously from the black ball, which looked disgusting.

Countless arrows streaked across the sky and burst into brilliant light after hitting the black ball.

After the light dissipated, it revealed the black ball inside that was riddled with holes under the indiscriminate bombardment.

The black pus on the surface of the black ball surged, and the black ball returned to its original shape.

"What kind of monster is this..." Alvin put down the bow in his hand and said with wide-eyed eyes.

Rhodes dexterously dodged the pale arms that were grabbing him. While dodging, he poured his inner strength into his fingers, and a sharp burst of energy erupted from the fingertips.

With a wave of his hand, he cut off several pale arms like cutting cloth.

The twisted arm fell to the ground, and black pus flowed from the fracture.

Not far away, the evil murloc god who had turned into a black ball of mud uttered a cry of pain.

"Attack those arms!" Rhodes shouted.

He took out Han Ye, poured his internal energy into the sword body, and then several invisible sword qi flew towards the black ball, like cutting grass, easily cutting off dozens of arms on it.

Alvin's arrows followed closely behind, also blowing off dozens of arms.

The black ball suddenly jumped up from the ground and smashed towards Rhodes' position.

Do I bring my own sarcasm?Why do you keep attacking me?
But that's fine too.

When the black ball was about to fall to the ground, Rhodes suddenly began to use lightness kung fu, and instantly retreated tens of meters backwards, leaving the area where the black ball was about to hit.

The black ball hit the ground and shattered, and thick black pus splashed around.

Rhodes didn't expect this to happen, he stepped back quickly, but it was too late.

A large cloud of black pus fell towards him, no matter which direction it went, it would be sprayed.

The ring on the left hand is still in a cooling state and cannot be used for transposition.

Just to see if I can handle it.

Several kinds of energy in Rhodes' body flowed rapidly, and the black flames around his body became extremely vigorous with a "bang" as if gasoline had been poured on it.

After the black pus entered the range of the flames, it kept shrinking and shrinking, but Rhodes still felt that his heart was suddenly filled with countless negative emotions.

All kinds of desires and negative emotions have been magnified countless times. He is very angry and wants to vent it by killing. He is in pain and wants to let others experience the feeling of pain.

Rhodes stood still and tried his best to restrain these emotions and desires in his mind.

"Give up, join me, and you will gain real freedom." A seductive voice sounded in Rhodes' head, and he could confirm that this voice was from the cold will that had been paying attention to him before.

Is this the will of the abyss?
Rhodes suddenly remembered that this was the sound he had heard in the ruins of the Mekan people.

But he didn't have much time to think, and then the voice just now echoed in his mind, as if countless people were whispering to him in his ears.

Rhodes sat on the ground with his head in his arms, and a golden light shone on him.

This is Michel's magic, but it has no effect on the current Rhodes, and even the black flame on his body is gradually extinguished.

He saw a pair of pale, twisted hands reaching out from a distance, grabbing him tightly, as if they wanted to tear him into pieces.

Rhodes could feel the pain from the body, but the pain from the spirit made him too lazy to move.

If you don't fully concentrate, you will sink in the whispers, and if you fully concentrate, the temptation generated by the whispers will be multiplied many times.

Rhodes now hopes that those pale hands can tear him apart and help him free.

But his body was really too tough, countless pale hands were pulling his body at the same time, but none of them caused any damage to him.

At this moment, Rhodes felt a strong burning sensation on his right arm.

Rhodes became sober a lot in an instant, and he turned his head to see a golden filling on his right arm.

It's my big flower arm, no, it's the golden pattern.

Those whispering voices in his head were drowned out by a female voice.

"Only those who have been completely crushed by the darkness can fight against the darkness."

Immediately afterwards, whispers sounded in Rhodes' mind again.

"It's useless, when we meet again, even you will be my food..."

The whispers completely disappeared in Rhodes' mind, and those emotions and desires were also suppressed by Rhodes.

He felt that he had got rid of the influence of the black pus, and after taking a deep breath, black flames erupted around Rhode's body again.

The pale arms holding him all retracted, and the black pus on the ground continued to dissipate in the flames.

Rhodes controlled the spread of the flame, burning the black pus remaining on the ground of the square.

He probably figured out what these black pus are. He thinks that this should be the substance formed by the dark side of the soul of intelligent creatures in the real world, and it is a deadly poison to ordinary creatures.

The murloc evil god slaughtered countless creatures and absorbed their souls, so it accumulated a lot of this substance, which was then corroded by the will of the abyss. This should be the reason why it brought the group to the mainland.

Its people would become so ugly, it should also have something to do with the erosion of the abyss.

After it was killed just now, the will of the abyss was projected over, and the dark humanity accumulated in the soul of the murloc evil god was manifested into black pus, and the black pus was manipulated to carry out the battle just now.

The Lord of Radiance should have just cut off the projection of the will of the abyss just now. After losing the control of the will of the abyss, the power of the black pus was much smaller, and it could no longer affect Rhodes, who had increased resistance a lot.

Rhodes felt that his magic power was slowly passing away, and burning these black pus would continue to consume the magic power in Rhodes' body.

The power left to him by the ancient god should have been exhausted when he helped Mina, and the black mud that time seemed to be a little more powerful than the black pus this time.

"Are you okay?" Alvin came over and patted Rhodes on the shoulder.

"It should be fine." Rhodes looked down at his right arm, and the golden pattern disappeared completely, or it was hidden like last time.

"The kind of thing just now is not something that ordinary people can deal with. If you become a demigod, it will be much easier to deal with. Even a person who has just become a demigod can take a bath in that black pus for more than ten minutes." Al Wen said.

"Who is so sloppy, who would bathe in that kind of thing?" Michel couldn't help but tremble when he thought of this scene.

"He probably doesn't have this kind of thought, just as a metaphor, let's hurry up and clean up the remaining murlocs in the city." Rhodes smiled.
