The Last Dark King

Latest website: The moment the monster stepped into the range of the fire, fire began to rise on its body, and billowing black dust was ejected upwards along with the fire.

They rushed towards Jianguan with black smoke and burning fire.

This is Rhodes' first time participating in a formal war between Trorian and Darkness.

Although there were only thirteen of them, when they stood on the towering city wall and saw the endless monsters rushing toward them, a strange feeling could not help but arise in their hearts.

Bang bang bang.

Three loud bangs.

Three giant arrows shot through the air, crashed into the group of monsters, and tore into pieces the bodies of dozens of monsters.

Baywood, Raistlin, and Annabeth turned the winch, pulled out a thigh-thick steel cable, loaded a giant arrow as thick as two people, and adjusted the angle of the crossbow, which was half the size of a house. Quasi-monster.

Abundant spiritual energy stirs in their bodies, allowing them to pull this steel giant that is much larger than them.

Especially Annabeth, her petite figure is like a little flower next to this cold steel giant, but she can operate the bed crossbow as neatly as two burly men.

With the second round of shooting, a huge crack was torn open in the monster tide.

In Rhodes' line of sight, he could clearly see the monster's soul dissipating in the air as the body was broken. A large amount of black smoke rose like thick smoke and dissipated in mid-air.

These monsters are far less powerful than the Corruptor.

The waveform of their souls is very gentle, and the true names formed by the vibrations of their souls are clearly visible.

"The Soulless Demon".

"Ghoul".

All monsters are of these two types.

They are short in stature, with stooped bodies, black hair all over their bodies, long sharp claws and terrifying teeth. They have ferocious faces, and their cloudy eyeballs flash with red light, and they have no sense of the fire igniting on their bodies.

Their ranks are not high, and the spiritual energy permeating their bodies is relatively weak, and they cannot withstand the impact of giant arrows at all.

The only advantage is that there are more of them, but within the scope of the guardian fire, they burn whole pieces, and the number does not have much effect.

The monsters rushed under the sword barrier, and the giant wall solidified by psychic energy blocked the way. The breath it exuded caused the monsters to attack frantically.

But unlike the Corruptor, the wall remained motionless, well below the load limit of the psionic generator.

On the city wall, the students each used different methods to attack them from a high position.

Some use bows and arrows, some throw javelins, some open their five fingers to shoot energy bombs, and some constantly wave their hands to form huge wind blades, cutting into pieces of monsters.

There are also people who shoot with real silver bullets and throw thunder stones as if they don't need money.

An Ye had to remind: "Rhode, real silver bullets are not reimbursable, and Thunder Stone is not reimbursable except for the city defense army."

Rhodes replied unhappily: "I know, I have money."

An Ye sighed: "Okay, don't waste it too much, supplies are limited."

Rhodes didn't bother to pay attention to him. He loaded the bomb with one hand, shot with one hand, charged it with one hand in the gray bag, and threw the thunder stone with one hand.

As a single young man, he is extremely skilled with one hand.

However, perhaps due to the chaotic situation on the battlefield, Rhodes basically never obtained a complete soul, almost all of which were soul fragments and soulless souls.

why is that?

Rhodes frowned and recalled the text of [Dark Devourer].

Its star power is [Soul Erosion].

Did I not cause enough "erosion"?

Or wouldn’t I be able to get the complete soul if I hadn’t killed the monster in the end?

This can indeed be explained, but the Corruptor was hit head-on, absolutely delivering the final blow.

Why are there only soulless souls?

He couldn't figure out this issue for the time being, so Rhodes could only put it aside and concentrate on hunting monsters.

The battle did not last long like this.

Soon, the flying monster seen earlier landed on the city wall from above.

Rhodes saw their names:

"Blade Demon".

These monsters are huge and bloated, their bodies are covered with black stones, and their hands are two huge stone blades.

However, the flames still burned on the stones, turning parts of their bodies into black dust, rising up with flying flame tips, like statues on fire.

Darkleaf shouted: "Combat in close quarters, protect the crossbow, Beowood, Raistlin, Annabeth, you keep shooting."

Under his leadership, the students turned around to fight the "Blade Demon".

"Be careful, the Blade Demon is a mid-level monster, monster type, demon type, with high defense and strong melee capabilities. Don't besiege them together! Disperse and use long-range means to consume it."

Even so, An Ye took the lead, catching the sharp blade demon's heavy slash with his bare hands, and then pushed forward with his elbow.

One blow pierced its body.

Rhodes clearly saw that the monster's psychic energy was knocked to pieces, and its soul was also knocked out of a big hole. The remains of the sharp-blade demon fell down and turned into countless black dust. In an instant, there was only a pile of black dust left. All ashes.

The instructors are very strong.

When I saw him being chased and beaten by corrupt people before, I thought he was a weakling.

It seems that the corrupt one is really super powerful.

The distracting thoughts passed away in a flash, and Rhodes quickly entered the battle.

His fighting style is completely different from instructor Anye or anyone else.

He did not approach the enemy cautiously as taught in any fighting method or combat tutorial. Instead, he walked over unprepared, covered in flaws, and suddenly took out his gun. With a bang, the Blade Demon shook violently and knelt down. Fall to the ground.

The right hand that turned translucent at some point was violently inserted into the monster's body. The moment it was taken out, the monster's entire body fell to the ground as if it fell apart, turning into black dust in the sky.

Clean, swift and fierce.

Not only the students, but also An Ye were shocked.

But in the fierce battle, no one had time to talk.

Huge blade demons kept falling from the sky, and the empty city walls were soon filled with monsters.

Intermediate-level monsters already have strong lethality. They have always been the main force in the monster group, and they are the monsters that kill the most combatants.

Although the members of the secret branch are all the best among the best, they still have little experience and lack of skill in cooperating with each other. Some people were quickly injured.

The command room decisively dispatched the emergency team, and the garrison chief, Gang Shou, joined dozens of combatants on the battlefield, and the situation quickly reversed.

An hour later, everyone finally wiped out the sharp-edged demons on the city wall.

The empty city wall was full of ashes of monsters, and the injured combatants were brought to the medical room for treatment by the logistics staff.

Since there are no professional medical practitioners in Jiuguan, they can only use ordinary medical methods.

Caramon is a battlefield medic and usually does not enter the medical room.

Most of the monsters below the sword pass were burned to ashes by the guardian fire.

However, although the guardian fire that landed has a stable field, too many monsters still reduce its intensity, and the range of the fire is visibly reduced to the naked eye.

The psychic generator has also suffered a lot of losses. According to Mina's report, the psychic generator has consumed more than 70% of its energy, and the black crystal reserve as the main energy supply is not very large.

There was a slight worry on Gangshou's face. Although the monster had been eliminated, the black tide was far from over.

This was just the beginning, and they had suffered such a big loss, which was completely different from what they expected.

Darkleaf, Baywood and Raistlin walked over together.

"Sir Steelhand, something's not right."

An Ye's face was also very gloomy.

"Our losses were too great. In one battle, twelve combatants were lightly wounded and three seriously wounded. If it were not for some accidents among us, the losses would have been unimaginable."

Baywood said in a deep voice: "Although I have never participated in guarding the Black Tide before, I heard my father tell them about their combat experience. According to our practice, Liguang Fortress is directly in front of us and is the main battlefield. They cannot clear it. Only monsters will overflow and reach us. The monsters that overflowed in the first round are so strong, something is obviously wrong."

Raistlin nodded: "The manpower guarding the city wall should be stronger."

The steel hand looked very embarrassed: "However, our total combat power is not large, and the supplies are not very sufficient."

An Ye said: "We can only think of ways to save. The bed crossbow is the most economical weapon. All the materials for giant arrows are common and very cheap. We must use them more to kill the enemy."

"Yes, let's use our own strength to destroy monsters."

The three of them discussed on the city wall, while the logistics staff were quickly collecting the monster ashes left on the city wall and the battlefield.

Cleaning the battlefield is something that must be done. Monster ashes contain residual power and can be used in many ways.

There are people in the royal city who specialize in collecting them, and they are called collectors.

Whenever the battle ends, the collectors will clean up the battlefield and collect whatever is left.

Rhodes watched them put the clumps of monster ashes into a special urn, swept away the useless fly ash, took a look at the complete power of the Blade Demon, and thought about asking them for two pieces later. Come here, I still have two sun stones, which can be used to make two soul ashes.

This thing looks pretty awesome.

Rhodes has confirmed that the monsters killed by him are not in the same condition as before.

The only exception is the Corruptor, but this may be why the [Psychic Quartet] is too strong.

The amount of soul obtained from a monster should be related to the degree to which the soul is eroded by [Dark Devourer].

Of course, Rhodes doesn't know exactly how it works.

The income from this battle was very good, the soulless souls increased sharply from 700 to 21,100, and there were also a large number of soul fragments and complete souls.

Now it seems that sewers are really sewers.

Hell, never go again.

Your sewer king has apostatized!

——

After the discussion, Gangshou and others quickly adjusted the defense mode and strengthened the number of combatants on duty on the city wall, but the support team and emergency team had to reduce their personnel accordingly.

The battle preparation has also been optimized to ensure that there is at least one mid- to high-level combatant on the city wall at any time.

But even so, there is not much improvement.

The intensity of the battle that followed exceeded expectations, and the types of monsters became more diverse, and some monsters with strong destructive capabilities appeared.

They cause very high damage to the Jianguan Fortress, and are thick-skinned and difficult to destroy.

The energy of the psychic generator was consumed very quickly, and the black crystal was consumed too quickly. The inventory was about to be exhausted. Everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Steel Hand continued to send messages to the Giant Fortress in need of supplies. no respond.

Only Rhodes, after learning what happened, lost his voice and said, "Are you here again?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the basement turned their eyes and stared at him blankly.

Stare at his wide sleeves.
