The Last King of Darkness

For the next few days, Rhodes spent time in the sewers.

He made a special trip to the Iron Cross neighborhood in the outer city and found a pub to stay here.

In Wangcheng, every block will have at least one square, one tavern, and one church, as a place for people to gather and relax.

The pub is also the only place to provide accommodation.

This tavern is in the vicinity of the Defense Department in the Iron Cross District, and its chief defense officer, Scarface, is an official that Rhodes is familiar with.

He has a very good impression of Rhodes, and Rhodes plan is to find all kinds of opportunities to hunt monsters in him.

In addition, he is also familiar with the sewers in the Iron Cross block, and it is also very far from the sewers in the inner city. Those terrifying spider swarms will not come here.

Scarface welcomed Rhodes' arrival, and was very resentful of what happened to Rhodes.

After finishing the hunting mission of the plague demon, he specially handed a reward report, but the expected reward not only did not come, but instead suffered a huge criticism and a punishment.

The Internal Affairs Tribunal held that he violated the military law and was dereliction of duty by hiring unqualified people to participate in dangerous hunting missions without authorization.

The Wangcheng Army War Department had to give him a verbal warning and cancel the extra reward.

Scarface and his friend Case were so angry that they burst into the military headquarters, overturned the table, and almost hit the adjudicator who came to the battle meeting.

But even this did not change the fait accompli.

Chief Defense Minister Musso promised to give them an explanation and let them go back first.

Scarface could only return angrily to the Defense Department of the Iron Cross District.

The recent defense task has been very heavy. Although the students assigned to him by the military department are all students who have stayed in school, the defense is still stretched. He has been dispatched nine times in a row, but there are still 20 students seriously injured. One was seriously injured. Recovered damage.

Scarface slapped hundreds of reports from VIPs, but none of them responded.

There is no shortage of people in Wangcheng. The original defenders, guards, and fire protectors have all gone to support the front line. The main defense force of Wangcheng now is the more than 20,000 teachers and students of Kingworth College.

As the weather deteriorated, the activities of monsters became more frequent, and the pressure of defense increased sharply. News of casualties of teachers and students came from all over the place. Doomsday believers also began to move around, poisoning, turning off lights, extinguishing fires and other things one after another.

In the Iron Cross block, the sewers did not know what disturbances had occurred, and monsters continued to spread upwards from the depths. Finally, the Outer City Defense Department had to form an elite battle group to clean up the sewers.

It is precisely because of this action that the follow-up task of hunting the plague demon was established.

The only thing fortunate is that it was a near miss, and no people or residents died.

Afterwards, according to the joint investigation of the Jinworth Society and the Ash Digger School, it was believed that there was some kind of deep spiritual disturbance in the sewers, disturbing the balance in the dark depths, causing the originally stable monster group to change and be squeezed. The monsters that come out can only move to new places.

This caused a large number of monsters to come to the upper floor.

As for why such a disturbance in the spiritual world occurs, scholars have no conclusion, and can only think that it is some kind of accidental event.

Although the elite battle group cleared a large part of the area, the disturbance of the balance did not end, and there were still some sporadic monsters.

Scholars believe the disturbance may last for a month or two before a new equilibrium is found and subsided.

Because of this, the defense of the sewers has also become a heavy burden, pressing on Da Scarface's body, making him devastated.

At this time, the arrival of Rhodes made him seem to see the legendary angel, and the scar on his face was cracked with a smile. He wanted to hug him and kiss him fiercely.

Of course, Rhodes rejected this kind of indignant behavior.

He told Da Scarface that he had become a secret fighter for special students, and that he had obtained combat qualifications and could participate in defense operations.

But Big Scarface didn't care at all.

Even if Rhodes had nothing, he was determined to pay attention to accepting him.

What is a few punishments, more than the lives of the soldiers and the safety of the inhabitants? What if the officer is lost? I can kill these harmful insects just like I go to the hunter group.

Therefore, he listed the defense of all sewers as an open task, and hired the free fighter Rhodes to complete it.

In this way, every time he completes one item, he can accumulate merit and honor for Rhodes, which will be of great benefit to Rhodes in the future to improve his combat level, select high-level personnel titles, obtain rare resources, and so on.

He originally wanted to assign a few fighters to Rhodes, but the manpower in the Iron Cross District was too tight. Anyone with a little fighting ability would go to fight. All logistics, medical care, supplies, chores, clerical work, etc., all are borne by ordinary people.

In the entire defense department, there is only one fighter, Da Scarface. He is the last trump card. When any patrol member encounters a problem that even the guards can't solve, he will play.

This is the last hope for frontline workers in distress.

He can only sit in the Department of Defense, and he can't go there.

However, to his great surprise, after a few days, Rhode actually handed in all the tasks for the sewers in the Iron Cross block, and provided a large amount of ashes, monster ashes, and task images as evidence as required.

Scarface was so shocked that the scars on his face were about to fall off.

According to the mission description and the detection of Ashes, this overly young fighter not only eliminated a large number of unlevel monsters, but also eliminated first-level and even intermediate-level monsters.

You must know that the combat power of intermediate-level monsters has already taken shape. If the attributes are mutually restrained, the eighth-level combatants may not be able to deal with them.

And he's still in reserve!

No wonder the sewers are quiet and quiet these days.

Da Scarface thought it was luck, but he didn't expect someone to carry the load.

And Rhodes' explanation for this was to reveal his special student badge.

Da Scarface believed it, and even when he asked if there was any monetary reward, he gritted his teeth and gave him his salary.

This is a task within the system, and salaries are rarely given.

But the scarred face doesn't matter, his soul has been finalized, there is no hope of promotion, he is ugly, and he has no wife. What is the use of asking for money?

Guarding the neighborhood, protecting his warrior brothers, and seeing new hope for humanity rise is his greatest wish.

The young man in front of him is so young and so good, he will definitely become a rising star in the future, bringing new hope to all those who are still fighting in the dark.

If I can help him, what is money?

certainly.

Rhodes didn't know that.

After visiting the sewers in the past few days, he is really poor.

His fighting method is completely throwing money, whether it is real silver bullets, sealing spirit bullets, or thunder stones, medicines, all need money.

Unleveled monsters are okay, you can use real silver bullets or thunderstones to solve them, and make up to one "Soul Crit" at most.

To become a monster, you must use a spirit-sealing bullet, and Rhode almost died as a result of trying to save money.

And the sealing bullets are too expensive.

For every ten Spirit Sealing Bullets, ten True Silver Bullets, one Humanity, three Spirituality, and one gram of star ruby ​​powder are needed.

The real silver bullet is seven silver cables, and the star ruby ​​powder is three hundred silver cables per gram.

Not counting human nature and spirituality, on average, each piece was thirty-seven silver cords, seven silver cords more expensive than Leishi, and the whole thing was a gold-swallowing beast.

What's even more annoying is that some monsters have a high defense, one can't break the defense, and two or even three can make a pause.

This consumes a lot of money all of a sudden.

After a few days of fighting, Rhodes has emptied all his material reserves, spent the last piece of silver on his body, and almost had no money to pay for the room. Fortunately, the tavern owner saw that others were handsome and sweet, and promised to delay for two days. pay.

After handing in the task, Scarface gave him nine hundred silver cables.

It simply saved his life.

He immediately bought two gram star ruby ​​powder, thirty real silver bullets, and some necessary supplies, and then paid off the money he owed.

I don't know why, when Rhode returned the money, the proprietress looked quite disappointed.

Rhodes didn't care, he returned to the house and entered a dream.

Although it consumes a lot, he has also gained a lot during this time.

Rhode touched the soul side of the obelisk, and his message appeared at the top.

Soul Strength: 117

Soul Stars: 2

Humanity: 472

Divinity: 45

Soulless Soul: 6322

Possessed Souls: [Soul of a Mad Sinner] thirty-six, [Soul of a filthy corpse] thirty-seven, [Soul of a maggot] twenty-two, [Soul of a corpse fly] fourteen, [Soul of the Necrohound] Soul] one, [Soul of the Distorted Demon Spider] five.

Gu Lai

All soul dust and soul fragments were sacrificed by him, and he gained a lot of soulless souls and spirituality.

"Spirituality" is also a very important material. It is the composition of the spirit, also known as the blood of the spirit. It has very magical functions, but it is extremely perishable and can only be stored in the "storage" under the stone platform.

Due to the sacrifice of too many soul fragments, Rhodes has no shortage of "spiritual" materials.

After making 20 Spirit Sealing Bullets again, there are still 30 copies in the storage that have not been used up.

Then, it's time to witness the harvest.

Rhodes came to the obelisk, and with a thought, he injected his soulless soul into [Bright Blue].

A large amount of black condensate fell into the flames of the stars, the blue flames burned violently, and the intensity of the stars rose rapidly.

87

88

89

…

98

99.

The numbers are stuck here, and the firelight of the stars shakes violently, as if encountering a big obstacle.

Rhodes knew that this was a bottleneck. At this time, he had to work hard to break through the restrictions.

So he added force and poured it hard, and the number of the soulless soul collapsed downward like a madness. It burst into bloom when it fell below four figures.

For a time, the entire soul face was illuminated by blue light, and the light of [Brightening Blue] finally crossed the line, the intensity reached 100, and the potential changed from "blazing fire" to " golden fire".

The light ebbs like water, and is withdrawn into the stars.

In the night sky, [Brightest Blue] blue light shines, condensed and clear, it is the brightest star.

Rhode fixed his eyes and saw that the text on the blue star had become:

【Bright Blue】

[Status: Excessive Burning]

[Star Energy: The Resurrection of Higher Spirits]

[Injection: Complete Soul]

[Quantified: not available]

[Position: Golden Fire]

【Strength: 100】

[Description: I will bloom like heaven and will never fade away under the passage of time. 】

—

Almost all text has changed.

What Rhode cared about most was the [Star Energy], which had become the [Higher Spirit Revival].

During this period of battle, he clearly felt the limitation of psionic energy on him. Using "Soul Crit" at most ten times in a row, he felt that psychic energy was close to exhaustion, and he had to rest for a while before continuing to fight.

Not only did this greatly affect his efficiency, it was also dangerous.

Monsters don't have any chivalrous spirit, and they will fight you when you have fully recovered your psionic energy.

Frequent use of Soul Red Crystal to restore psionic power is also unaffordable.

If he can recover faster, Rhodes' efficiency will be greatly improved.

It depends on how the effect of [Resurrection of the High Spirit] is.

The second is [Potential]. For the understanding of this item, Rhode thinks that it is about the meaning of personality. The higher the personality, the stronger the stars will naturally be.

Now it is only one step away from reaching the final "Eternal Fire", and Rhode is very much looking forward to it.

However, the item [Injection] has become [Complete Soul], which means that he can only invest in completing the Soul to strengthen the stars.

Soulless Soul only has 981 left and consumes 5341.

Rhode did a mental calculation, and it wasn't a waste. He spent a total of about 5,800 soulless souls before and after to raise the potential of [Broken Blue] from "Blazing Fire" to "Golden Fire".

In addition to a potential, the total consumption of the soulless soul is about 6000.

It is true that the whole soul is not sacrificed.

Rhodes pondered for a moment, and put thirty-seven [the souls of filthy corpses] into it.

These are weak souls, corroded by corpses and filth, quite common in sewers.

The light of the blue stars became slightly brighter, and the intensity changed from one hundred to one hundred and ten.

Raised very little, don't know where its limits are?

Rhodes thought for a while, but did not continue to vote.

The existing souls should not be enough, and there are some souls he doesn't want to cast.

Sacrificing a whole soul grants the Soul trait in addition to the Soulless Soul and Spirituality. Although he still doesn't know what the "soul trait" is for, it seems to be something very unusual.

In addition, the complete soul can also make "soul ashes", Rhodes only lacks the sun stone now.

Rhodes let out a breath.

In short, now that he has become stronger, and his soul strength has reached 140, the only bad news is that he finds that the human nature that needs to be added every day has changed from one to three.

This consumption is a bit large, and human nature should also pay attention to obtaining it.

Rhode squeezed the lightning symbol in his hand and returned to the material world, intending to continue looking for Da Scarface and ask for more sewer tasks.

Now, he has completely mastered the method of fighting in the sewers, and he knows how to use his advantages to kill monsters in the sewers.

And after obtaining the map provided by Professor Binns, Rhodes would not get lost at all.

The map of the sewers of the royal city produced by the Ash Digger School is extremely detailed. They not only systematically divided it into countless areas, but also marked each area with the degree of danger and its historical origin.

Professor Binns was grateful for Rhodes' contribution and sent him the most complete and detailed internal version.

Two whole boxes, one genuine and one backup.

Rhodes had to try his best to tear the backup map into small pieces, transport them into the dreamland little by little and stick them together.

That way, no matter where he is, he has a map available.

The environment of the hotel is not very safe, and it is not suitable for staying in the dreamland for a long time.

In short, the sewers in the Iron Cross block are already a backyard-like existence for Rhodes. If he brings food into the dreamland, he can live in the sewers completely. This is his home field.

Hum~www.wuxiahere.com~ I am the king of the sewer.

Leave the filth of the sewer to me.

Residents of Wangcheng, you can **** with confidence, no monsters will rush up from the pipes.

Because of me, the scavenger of the sewers, Rhodes the Devourer of Darkness.

Ha ha ha ha.

Iron Cross neighborhood.

sewer.

Shenshui Bay.

A group of sneaky figures gathered on the stone platform, and the stench of the sewage bay below was soaring into the sky, and everyone covered their noses.

A deep nasal voice asked:

"The information can't be wrong any more? Is he really doing the cleanup around here alone?"
