The Last Dark King

Latest website: For a moment, the entire team froze, and everyone's hearts fell into the ice cave.

But Rhodes soon discovered that the bodies on the ground were not Liszt, Pebela, Jeraba, Red Queen, or anyone else in the team.

"That's not one of our people!"

Rhodes shouted:

"They are not wearing Trolian battle robes, but a style I have never seen before, coats, cloaks, patterns of lightning and fire... and the semicircular pattern, which is the White Cult emblem, they are the people of Saint Rey!”

Everyone's hearts were shocked, and an extremely complex emotion surged up, including the joy of confirming the existence of the new fire humans and the sadness of the death of their compatriots.

Only Qingyu quickly came out of this emotion and said quickly: "Go and purify their corpses, a change will happen soon."

With a flash of white light, Horus transformed into a white stream of light and led several bishops to the center of the corpse team. They took out the curse-breaking stones and purification crystals from their arms and began to drive away the corruption on the corpses.

In this regard, the Holy Church is professional.

It is very important to purify the soldiers who died in the battle, otherwise the black mist will desecrate the corpses, which will not only turn the former comrades into monsters, but also severely damage morale.

The corruption of corpses is far easier to purify than the corruption of humans, because there is no need to worry about the safety of the corpse, and the most troublesome soul is also in a state of disintegration. For the corpse, as long as the purification can be completed and the remaining spirits can be driven away.

During the purification process, Horus further confirmed that they were not Trorians. Their clothing styles were very different from Trorians, their skin color was whiter, their nose bridges were high and their cheek bones were flatter.

Moreover, everyone has the semicircular emblem of the Bai Sect on the back of their necks.

"Almost all combatants."

Horus judged.

"The flesh is in perfect form, and the strength is quite high, ranging from a third-level combatant to a first-level combatant."

"The battle was quite fierce, but the resistance did not last long, and the scene was not seriously damaged. This proves that the strength of the monsters should far exceed the limit that they can withstand. Although they fought hard, they were still annihilated."

"This is not an expedition team. They don't carry any supplies or even weapons...their weapons seem to be made of spiritual energy."

Professor Binns carefully examined the wounds of each corpse and pondered: "The monster seems to use sharp claws. Its height is no more than the height of two people, but the claws are very long, at least two yards or more."

Professor Barrett also shared his findings: "I can't find the monster's footprints. It either can fly, or it has some special way of moving that doesn't leave footprints."

"What kind of monster could this be?" Qingyu pondered: "Ghoulies, strange demons...or ghosts?"

Although everyone has experienced hundreds of battles, they can't think of it at the moment.

But it doesn't matter. The dark world is so big and there are as many types of monsters as there are stars. Trorian can encounter some monsters he has never seen before every year.

What matters is the strength of the monster.

"Is it possible that it could be a king-level monster?" Qingyu frowned slightly and asked softly.

With the configuration of their team, only king-level monsters can threaten them.

Horus shook his head: "Probably not..."

Before he finished speaking, a strange howl sounded from the team.

The people who could get here were all battle-experienced warriors. They instantly entered a fighting state. First-level combatant Rigel swooped forward and instantly pinned the two great scholars under him.

He has an immortal body and is perfect as a shield and punching bag.

Rhodes also instantly mentioned psychic powers, but the monster did not come from the black mist, but a corpse jumping up from the ground. Its face was twisted, its eyes bulged, and the bloody veins sprouted under the skin like tree roots. , black mist quickly penetrated from the surface of its skin.

boom!

Super strong psychic energy fluctuations spread along with the monster's roar.

"impossible!"

Horus said in shock.

"I have obviously been purified! The living corpse curse has been dispelled!"

boom!

Rhodes raised his hand at an extremely fast speed, instantly condensing level 14 psychic defense, but he still felt a strong force passing through his arm, and his feet sank, crushing the ground.

The senior investigator shouted in horror: "130,000 kilometres! This is level 14 psychic power! The monster has level 14 psychic power!"

Unable to shake Rhodes with one blow, the monster turned around and rushed in the other direction, but a burning fireman had already blocked its way.

It was Qingyu.

The breath of fire enraged the monster, and it launched a desperate attack, but a shield of flames spread out in the air, blocking all its attacks.

Then a flaming sword penetrated the monster.

Qingyu's whole body was filled with flames, and the super powerful spiritual energy fluctuations blocked out all noises. The monster's whole body burned and was engulfed in fire.

But to everyone's surprise, after suffering such a fatal injury, the monster did not die. Its eyes turned blood red, and black and red blood spurted out from its body. It suppressed the burning fire, and its hands Long sharp claws grew out.

Stronger spiritual energy burst out, and the monster danced wildly, attacking everything around it.

"Your Highness, get out of the way!"

Horus shouted:

"The monster is going crazy. The black mist in the spiritual world is gathering crazily into its body. This corpse has become the medium for darkness to fall!"

There was a flash of fire, and Qing Yu's figure had drifted away. The monster let out a terrifying howl, and black dust flew from its body.

It is dissolving, the structure of the dark soul has been destroyed, and the black mist is becoming unquantified. In other words, it is dead, but a huge amount of black mist is revealed from its body, forcibly maintaining its existence.

But such an existence cannot last forever. There is no need to bear it forcefully. Temporarily avoiding its edge is the most correct choice.

However, if this is the case, the surrounding corpses will be seriously contaminated, and more such monsters may appear.

Qingyu frowned slightly. Just when he was worried, the monster suddenly stopped going crazy.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Rhodes was behind it, his right hand having already dug into its body, tearing apart its newly formed dark soul.

With a snap, the monster fell to the ground, the black mist all over its body exploded, and was dispersed by the fire, and its remaining body quickly evaporated.

The black mist in the void lost its fulcrum and stopped instilling.

Before long, all that was left was a ball of ashes, wet and sticky.

This is the ashes of a newly transformed monster, with no ashes and no value.

Rhodes patted his wet right hand, feeling as if he had inserted it into a wet stove.

He frowned and looked at the soul he had just obtained.

[A twisted cursed soul]

【Extremely great soul】

[This soul seems to have been violently damaged by some kind of curse, and there is not much information left]

"Book, what kind of curse is this? Why is it so strong?"

The Book of Knowledge frowned and said slowly: "This seems to be a very terrible curse. Its damage to the soul is extreme, but I don't know more about it. Burn the body quickly."

As if to verify its words, the soul quickly disintegrated and dissipated on its own, turning into dust.

Soulless soul +100 million

Spirituality +10,000

Rhodes was shocked. It was the first time he encountered such a thing, and he immediately said: "Quickly, gather the bodies together and burn them."

Horus was awakened by these words. With a wave of his hand, countless bright lights gathered all the corpses into a pile like ropes. Then he took out three embers from his arms, activated them with spiritual energy and threw them into the pile of corpses. superior.

The flames burned, but not vigorously.

He hurriedly added phlogiston, but there was still not much change. If he looked carefully, there was actually black mist flowing under the fire.

boom!

Qingyu waved his hand, and a beam of fire shot out.

The fire exploded instantly, and the raging fire engulfed the bodies, quickly burning them to ashes.

"Be careful of this monster." Qingyu said.

Horus nodded seriously, this was a monster they had never seen before.

"Take all these ashes away. If possible, give them to Saint Rey. Maybe you can get some information from them. Their warriors can also return their souls to the Holy Fire and rest in the Heaven of Fire."

After the three bishops put the ashes into urns, Horus said: "Let's go."

Everyone was a little silent. Although the battle just now was short, it refreshed their knowledge.

It is simply unimaginable that the corpse of a high-level combatant could be corrupted to such an extent in such a short period of time that it would take both Qingyu and Rhodes to kill him.

What if it was the stronger one?

No one spoke, but this shadow always lingered in their hearts and could not be dissipated.

Horus took out the blood lantern again, and not far away, he detected the breath of living things again. The bright red mist boiled again, forming an arrow, pointing in the same direction.

Everyone became excited again, temporarily forgetting what happened just now, and quickened their pace and rushed in the direction of the arrow.

Not long after, Rhodes suddenly saw a glimmer of light in his eyes. It was extremely obvious under the sight of the Eye of the Soul in the boundless black fog.

"I see the light!"

In the dark, seeing light is basically the same as seeing humans.

Everyone quickened their pace further and soon arrived in front of the light.

It was a very simple lantern, with a little residual light inside. It was inserted on a mound of earth, stubbornly dispersing the darkness under the thick black fog.

This was the first time Rhodes saw such a thing, and he was surprised: "What is this?"

There was silence in the team, and Qingyu whispered in his ear: "This is the tomb of the soldiers. When we are forced to bury the soldiers outside, we will burn them to ashes, bury them in the soil, and light a candle." The spiritual lamp guides their souls back to the direction of the holy fire.”

Rhodes' heart sank, this meant that someone else had died.

Horus said calmly: "Let's go."

On the road that followed, Rhodes saw such a tomb many times. It consisted of a lonely mound and a lantern with residual light, emitting a faint light in the boundless darkness, just like a tomb shining in the dark night. stars.

But the afterglow will eventually be extinguished. In fact, in such a thick black fog, it cannot last for long. These tombs were just built, but even if it is extinguished, the ashes of soldiers are buried in the mounds. These soulless ash cannot be infected, and they can still exist in the darkness by the thousands.

Until one day they are discovered, and if circumstances permit, they may be transported back to the royal city to return to the Holy Fire.

This is a great blessing.

But the vast majority are not so lucky, and will remain forever lost in the black mist, or destroyed in the aftermath of the battle.

Rhodes didn't feel very happy. In fact, since he became a fire bearer, he had rarely sacrificed his comrades.

The vast majority of battles result in victory or complete victory.

It was the first time that he saw so many fallen soldiers. Although he knew that sacrifice and death were normal and continuous victory was rare, his mood was somewhat depressed.

Finally, two quarters of an hour later, Rhodes saw a much brighter fire. The bright color obviously belonged to the remaining fire.

Sure enough, then I saw the bright and vivid souls of human beings, this is a human team.

"It's Liszt!"

Rhodes shouted excitedly.

"We found them!"

The atmosphere in the team suddenly became lively. After walking in the dark for so long, we finally found the team.

Qingyu closed his eyes, and the flame crown on his collar suddenly burned, and then everyone's fire mark burned.

The spiritual induction network was set up, and they obviously discovered Rhodes' team and quickly moved closer.

When the firelight of the two teams merged together, and when a familiar figure came into view, Rhodes suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, as if a burning breath was rising from the bottom of his heart.

Looking back, everyone seemed to have the same feeling, and many people were even wiping their eyes.

Liszt shouted: "Your Excellency Rhodes, Your Excellency Qingyu, Your Excellency the Archbishop, you are so good to be here!"

Jelaba, Pebela and the Red Queen came over together and said with a smile:

"It is a pleasure to see you here, two young sons of fire, Your Excellency the Archbishop."

Horus asked eagerly: "Where is the Kingdom of Saint Rey? Have you come into contact with it? What is their attitude? Why are there so many warriors killed here? How far are we from their royal city? Why can’t I feel the influence of the Holy Fire?”

Liszt's expression looked surprised.

"When did we discover Saint Rey?"

Horus suddenly frowned; "What do you mean? Didn't you ask us to reinforce you?"

"Yes." Liszt replied: "But that's because we are facing a tough battle."

The expressions of everyone in the reinforcement team changed. Horus said in a deep voice, "What exactly did you encounter along the way?"

Liszt and the three Sons of Fire looked at each other and understood that there must be a misunderstanding.

So, next, Liszt told what happened in detail.

It turned out that after crossing the last mountain range, they found the bodies of many war dead in the dark. Their death dates seemed to be very close, and they must belong to another Kingdom of Fire.

So, they buried the war dead, and along the way, they found more clues to the existence of Saint Rey.

All these clues indicate that there is a human kingdom in this direction.

However, there is a huge obstacle on this road.

Found some problems. . . I modified it temporarily and will update it tomorrow
