The Last Dark King

Latest website: Although I didn’t understand what they meant, the shocking feeling still came to my face.

Tommen deeply felt the invisible momentum contained in them. He swallowed back his sarcastic words and couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"

Rhodes smiled and simply changed the story behind these two sentences into a background they could understand.

Unexpectedly, he actually harvested two "flowers of humanity" from this.

Is this okay?

The "Flower of Humanity" is a very precious material that is generally difficult to obtain. Rhodes only has five of them saved so far.

If I just talk about it casually, can it still move people?

But Tommen refused to admit it.

"Bah, stop lying to children with your made-up stories."

"I don't believe it at all."

"I'm just here to make money, you don't need to inject me with chicken blood."

Rhodes smiled and didn't say much.

Dmitry used more objective language to explain the Black Tide and the significance of this operation in detail.

Under his narration, Rhodes gradually understood everything.

As Tommen said, the black tide in the dark world is like a huge wave on the dark sea, and what Trorian endures is just the aftermath of its edge.

The cause of the Black Tide is unknown, and its study has always been one of the important topics in the Trorian Kingdom.

The existing main theories are divided into "monster power change theory", "spiritual world change theory", "migration theory" and "civil war theory".

But no matter which theory, it is recognized that Trorian is uniquely protected by the terrain and will not face the black tide head-on.

But this time, the situation changed somewhat. Part of the front of the Black Tide turned around and rushed towards Trorian, who was huddled in the corner of the Dead Ember Mountains.

The Survey Corps and the White Tower simultaneously issued the highest level warning to the Royal City.

Wangcheng immediately summoned the leader of the Investigation Corps, Lister, the Lord of the White Tower, Meredith, the Great Prophet Ietta and the Chief Dean Theodore to discuss countermeasures.

Through a series of actions such as investigation, prophecy, stargazing, and exploration of the spiritual world, they determined that detonating enough rot at a specific time and place can trigger a regional chain reaction, causing some to rush towards a specific location. Lorian's Kuroshio front changes direction.

This is where the plan comes from.

Originally, the last person in the team was Theodore's Conjuration Guard, but for some reason it was replaced by Rhodes.

Plans have also been delayed, which is why time seems so tight.

"However," Dmitri said: "Our operation went much smoother than expected. The two nodes are on both sides of the Eternal Seal. We still have four hours, which is enough to complete the task."

Tommen snorted coldly: "Don't think too much, you will definitely encounter an accident when the time comes."

No one answered.

I don't know why, but it's not particularly offensive for him to say that.

Soon, the three of them passed through the Land of Eternal Sealing and reached the first node.

This is a huge depression with broken holes underneath.

Demetrius rang the Bell of Silence again, masking the psychic fluctuations of Tommen's use.

Tommen sat down cross-legged and pressed his hands on the ground, strong psychic energy waves emanating from him.

The air began to twist, and a moment later, with a huge explosion, a metal cylinder at least five stories high fell in front of Tommen.

The scene was shocking, and Rhodes thought to himself, this Tommen really has two skills.

He looked tired at the moment, and it seemed that moving such a large object was very difficult for him.

Dmitri tried to carry him on his back, but was refused.

"I can leave."

Tommen staggered to his feet, but fell to the ground again.

Dmitri picked him up.

The two ran outside.

"Don't we need to open it?" Rhodes asked.

"No need." Dmitri said calmly: "Metal cannot resist the influence of so many rotten substances, and monsters will soon tear it apart."

Tommen cursed: "Stop talking nonsense and run!"

The black mist began to roll, showing something ominous. A low whistling sound could be heard faintly in the distance, and an uneasy atmosphere floated in the air.

Dmitri grabbed Rhodes, jumped into the air, and flew towards the second node.

For some unknown reason, the black fog in this area became very light, and Rhodes' sight distance was greatly extended.

He looked back and saw that in the infinite darkness, there was a ray of deeper darkness rushing towards them, just like a tsunami rising from the depths of the sea.

Suddenly, Dmitri suddenly dropped down.

Overhead, a huge black shadow passed by, and its speed was so fast that Rhodes did not foresee it at all.

Immediately afterwards, more black shadows passed by, all flying towards the first node.

Dmitri quickly landed on the edge of the Everlasting Land and chose to walk.

But there is no peace on the ground either. The wandering monsters have become active and aggressive.

Dmitri's invisibility was dispelled by some unknown influence, and he had to release it repeatedly, finally attracting the attention of an acid monster.

This was a disastrous battle.

The acid monster's sudden attack prevented Dmitri from using the Bell of Silence. They tried to escape directly, but the abnormal movement attracted more acid monsters and a strange bird that fell from the sky.

They are very fast, and no matter how hard Dmitry and Rhodes run, they can't get rid of them.

"Let's separate."

Dmitri said briefly, threw both Tommen and the astrolabe at Rhodes, turned around and ran in the other direction.

He continuously activates his fire ability, and his invisibility flickers on him, attracting a large number of monsters to follow him.

"Sure enough, something marked him."

Tommen muttered.

"When we flew over the Land of Eternal Sea, we were cursed by something."

Rhodes looked at the direction in which he was going. The light of spiritual energy was flashing, proving that he was overtaken and the battle had begun.

The aftermath of the battle attracted more monsters, leaving their path empty.

"Dmitri..."

Rhodes asked hesitantly.

"Can you survive?"

Tommen sneered; "Of course he can survive. He is known as the Invincible of Ironforge City. Although he only has six fire types, he has already become a fourth-level combatant. He has superb combat skills, quick thinking, changeable tactics, and the ability to protect himself." He has survived extremely strong and even more dangerous situations. Do you think it is you, a young boy who has not yet been born? "

Rhodes felt something dripping onto his back, it was cool and wet.

"You...cryed?"

"Fuck your horse." Tommen scolded angrily: "I am a tough man, I will not cry even if I die. Besides, I already knew that the mission would fail and everyone would die, so why should I cry?"

Rhodes was silent for a moment and replied: "We will not die."

"Stop dreaming. We are dead. The mission cannot be successful... This way, the direction is one degree off."

Tommen held the astrolabe and pointed the direction.

Rhodes ran as fast as he could.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon they met another group of spike demons.

This is an abyss monster, which proves that there is an abyss rift nearby, but this is not their mission, and such a distant rift has no impact on the royal city.

Rhodes tried to get rid of them, but the spike demon was not only much faster than him, but also flashed short distances.

Rhodes could only stop and fight them.

But once they fought, they realized how troublesome these spike demons were, which were slaughtered like pigs by Mephis. The large number of wooden puppets he summoned were easily torn apart, and his thunder stones and spiritual guns couldn't hit them at all.

What's worse is that the sequelae of [awakening] seem to be reaching their limit. There is a huge tearing feeling in the soul, and dizziness comes one after another.

Isn't it? Is the mission really going to fail?

Rhodes was very regretful. He actually had many trump cards, but he didn't have time to use them.

No, not possible.

I definitely have something left.

Rhodes changed direction and rushed out of the encirclement.

The rioting psychic energy hit his feet like a battering ram, pushing his body to throw away the demon at an extremely fast speed.

But with a few explosions, the Spike Demon flashed near him, and the huge spike slammed down on him.

Rhodes turned around and dodged the attack again.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind coming from behind. Rhodes had no time to dodge, so he opened his spiritual defense, turned around and raised his hand to catch the blow, and flew far away with the help of the force.

There was a dull pain in the arm, and the psychic defense failed to block all the attacks. The long nail opened a large gash in the arm, dripping with blood.

However, the pain suddenly woke up Rhodes' brain.

He remembered that he had another item.

Chief Dean’s whistle!

Although the Phantom is not strong, its combat IQ is very high, so it may be useful.

Rhodes immediately took out the whistle from his dreamland and blew it hard.

Suddenly, his spiritual energy poured into the whistle like a tide, and Rhodes fired [Awakening] twice to satisfy the powerful suction.

Invisible spiritual energy fluctuations dispersed in the air, and after a long time, the phantom of the chief dean arrived again.

It glanced at Rhodes, and there seemed to be reproach in its eyes. Then it waved its staff and smashed the head of a spiked demon that suddenly appeared.

The phantom turned around and jumped into the group of demons. It was like the god of war descending, the staff flew up and down, and the demon's dog heads exploded.

"This...how did you become so strong?"

Rhodes hesitated for a moment and suddenly understood.

"Is it the chief dean who did it again? He strengthened the whistle..."

The aftermath of the battle attracted nearby monsters. This was a good opportunity to hurry up.

Rhodes immediately turned around and ran. He could already directly see the second node, which was a mountain with rugged rocks just 10,000 yards away.

Victory is at hand.

But at this moment, Rhodes felt a heat on his back, and a large amount of blood flowed down his neck.

What?

Rhodes immediately put Tommen down and saw two huge penetrating wounds on his chest and abdomen.

Tommen's face was as pale as paper, and his lower lip was bitten off by his clenched teeth.

With such a serious injury, Rhodes didn't hear him cry out in pain.

"Hug, sorry..."

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and flesh foam swirled in the blood.

"The mission...really failed."

Rhodes felt as if his heart had fallen into a thorn, and the intense pain made his voice deformed: "Why don't you shout?"

Tommen's eyes darkened.

"I...I'm afraid of disturbing you. I want to hold back...to the point. Maybe it's still possible, but...but."

"I'm sorry, I can't hold it anymore..."

His tears fell down in big drops, mixed with the blood, and soaked into the ground faster.

"We...we failed again..."

"No." Suddenly, Rhodes said.

"We didn't fail."

Tommen looked at him, with something strange in his eyes, like expectation, but also like disbelief. He said softly: "My spirit is dissipating, I will die soon... Without the rotten matter, the mission is doomed to fail... …”

"Move now."

"You can't take away 60 tons of rot."

"You can take it with you. I have space to store it."

For a moment, lightning flashed across Tommen's eyes: "Really...really?"

"Um."

Tommen didn't ask again, maybe because he didn't have the strength, maybe because he was afraid of getting a negative answer.

Psychic energy arose in him, and the fluctuations in the air became obvious, but his aura quickly weakened and blood flowed from his body.

The battle in the distance became more intense. The chief dean's phantom was surrounded by countless monsters, but it still slaughtered all approaching monsters like a god of war.

The intense aftermath of the battle covered up the psychic fluctuations here, leaving them undisturbed.

Tens of seconds later, with a loud noise, a huge steel column fell next to Rhodes.

Tommen was speechless and could only look at him with hopeful eyes.

Rhodes came to the column, used the method that the chief dean had told him, cut his palm open, and used blood to draw a huge lightning pattern on the column, which was exactly the same as his gesture.

Then, pinch out the gesture and focus on the entire column.

Then close your eyes and sense it in your mind.

The next moment, I felt light, as if something had left my body.

Rhodes opened his eyes and saw that the column had disappeared, and in his mind, a huge object was lying quietly in the dreamland.

It had a lightning bolt symbol on it, shining brightly.

This is a ritual mark. In this way, only one item can be sent to and from the dream.

"Success!"

Rhodes smiled and turned around.

"As I said, the mission will not fail as long as I am here."

But Tommen's eyes were dull and he was no longer breathing.

His spirit has dissipated, but what remains on his face is a smile.

Flower of Humanity +1

Rhodes turned around silently and rushed towards the node.

The phantom disappeared and the monsters were rushing towards him.

Rhodes desperately used [Awakening], and strong spiritual energy surged through his body like crazy, disappearing in an instant, and then reappearing in an instant.

His speed reached an unprecedented height, and the violent spiritual energy pushed his body away like lightning. Not even the flickering spike demon could catch up with him.

It only took him 30 seconds to cover the distance of 10,000 yards.

The moment Rhodes stepped onto the top of the mountain, his body was about to collapse. No matter how much he used [Awakening], the terrifying aura in the void was no longer delayed by half a step.

but.

I've succeeded.

Rhodes showed a victorious smile, made a gesture, and the 60-ton column hit the node heavily.

The moment it appeared, the atmosphere of the entire space changed.

Countless darkness surged here, and the spike demon arrived first and pierced his chest.

At the same time, the huge counterattack force of [Awakening] also broke out in his body.

Rhodes' vision went dark and he finally lost consciousness.

——

Empire.

Supreme Military War Department.

Everyone involved in the planning was very nervous.

The Survey Corps, White Tower, and Star Observatory are all paying attention to the movements in the west.

Messengers shuttled back and forth in the hall, delivering every little message.
