MTL - The Last King of Darkness-Chapter 23 opening

It's that golden light!

Rhodes suddenly became excited.

Saved!

He was just imagining, just like last time, when he rushed over to hold the sharp blade of light and stab the monster to death.

The golden light dissipated.

The monster torn in half turned around and took a step towards him.

boom.

The ground seemed to be shaking, half of the monster's body was dragged on the ground, only the lower part of the body was still glued together, a black sticky substance flowed down from the cross-section of the body, and two red eyes were drawn from two large ones. stared at him at an angle.

Not dead yet!

The chill exploded in his soul in an instant, and Rhode squeezed the gun tightly, almost instinctively activating his psionic energy. The spiritual pressure meter flew into the sky, and the muzzle flashed.

boom!

The white line shot out instantly hit the side of the monster's body, and the high-speed real silver bullet penetrated into the pure black sticky substance that filled the body, releasing its energy and blasting the large black substance. fly out.

The black monster staggered a step, but quickly stood firm and still moved towards him.

Bang bang bang bang!

Rhodes fired five shots in a row in an instant, emptying out the bullets.

The five white lines all penetrated into the section of its body, the silver light from the explosion of the real silver bullets flickered one after another, and the black sticky substance scattered and splashed, like the firecrackers thrown into the cesspool of 10,000 years by a child. Aged shit.

click.

Rhodes removed the gun case at the speed of light, and instantly filled seven real silver bullets into it.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The seven guns sounded almost instantly, and the seven real silver bullets accurately hit the monster's wound.

Rhode's spirit is unprecedentedly concentrated, and psychic energy is continuously generated in his soul like breathing, just like the release of power from muscles, it is an instinct.

click.

The seven true silver bullets were reloaded again.

Seven shots were fired again.

Rhode felt that his whole body was burning, his soul was restless, his psychic energy was surging, and the "raven" was starting to get hot, unable to bear his crazy infusion.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

After another seven shots, the monster finally fell.

Its huge body fell to the ground, its contents almost blown up.

A strange whine sounded in the air, as if something had left, the corpse of the monster began to decompose, countless black dust rose into the air, and the sticky substance scattered on the ground began to evaporate.

The black flying dust covered his eyes for a while, but Rhode could clearly see that a huge black line composed of countless black dust disappeared into his body.

Immediately, on the black altar, a black fire larger than all the previous flames appeared.

After a while, the black dust disappeared and scattered in the air. All traces of monsters disappeared, and even the black mist in the distance disappeared.

The dream returned to its original state, a gray, quiet mist flowing slowly, without any waves, infinitely far away, as if until the end of time.

Everything was so peaceful, as if the invasion had never come.

But the excited and tired spirit, the hot pistol, and the real silver bullet still in his hand reminded him that all this was not an illusion.

finally!

it is finally over!

I finally survived.

I went through another crisis.

Rhode let out a long sigh, and the moment he relaxed, exhaustion surged up like a tide, and he just wanted to fall down and sleep in place.

But that's impossible, he still has a lot to do.

Why do I always feel like I'm in crisis all the time?

Rhodes snorted in dissatisfaction.

My dream is obviously to be a quiet and beautiful man, sitting alone by the window reading in the rainy weather, with a warm fire, soothing music, steaming coffee, and dancing with a young lady wearing black silk.

That's it.

What a simple dream, it is already close at hand, why is it like this?

Rhodes sighed, turned up the altar, and turned his attention to the black fire that was about the size of half a fist.

【The soul of twisted demon meat】

[Soul from the dark side of the twisted demon flesh]

[Black blood wraps corpses and dead souls. This is the spiritual substance that has fallen from the greater existence, and the monsters formed by countless years floating in the river of eternal death. 】

Rhodes frowned.

This soul has one more line of description than the previous one, and it seems that it has something to do with it.

He wrote down every word carefully, intending to go back and study it carefully.

Then to the soul, listen carefully for half a second.

Sure enough, it was a strange mix of countless noises and maddening glass scratches.

Rhodes stopped listening immediately, thinking that unless it is a human soul, he will never listen again.

He jumped off the altar and came to the obelisk, worried to find that it didn't heal as quickly as it did last time.

There are cracks all over the cyan-gray stele, huge claw marks can be seen everywhere, and some tiny cyan fly ash is gathering towards the stele from the air, slowly filling the gaps.

But it's very slow.

There was persistent pain from the depths of the mind, but the intensity was much smaller than at the beginning.

Sure enough, my spirit was bound to it.

Maybe it's my soul.

Rhodes reached out and touched its surface lightly.

The dark night sky once again appeared on the monument, and countless light spots appeared on the pure black background again.

So, this is actually the inside of my soul?

Rhodes guessed, and these are my possessions outside?

But why is the text and information on everything presented in a way that I can best understand, while the light spots inside the soul are strange texts that I don't know at all?

There is no answer to this question for the time being, and Rhode can only sink it into his heart, hoping that one day in the future, he can learn the truth about it.

Moving his eyes, Rhode saw the dark red "Dark Devourer" in the center, and the light blue spot near it that had already invested six souls.

"Dark Devourer" can't be added any more, I can only put that soul into the light blue light spot... Rhode focused his eyes on the light spot.

The light disappeared, and the black hole appeared in front of him again.

Six dusty flames floated in it, exactly the six souls he had invested in last time.

The spirit of Rhodes was connected to the altar. With a thought, the black fire flew into the obelisk, and a black meteor appeared in the night sky, following Rhodes' eyes into the black hole.

In an instant, the entire black hole burned, and the seven souls turned into burning flames, lighting up the star.

The light spot became stable from an illusory state, and the light blue light gradually became darker, dyed with a tinge of cyan.

Now, two stars are shining in the night sky.

Under their reflection, the other stars are barely visible.

A line of text emerges from it.

【Bright Blue】

[Status: Weak burning, about to go out]

[Star Energy: Resurrection of Spirit]

【Injection: Unknown】

【Strength: Unknown】

[Description: Unknown]

The text on this light spot is very different from the Devourer of Darkness, many characters Rhode does not know, and many descriptions are not the same.

And what he cared about most was the words "weak burning, about to go out".

On "Dark Eater" is "Eternal Burning".

why is that? Did I just light it and it's going to go out?

Is there not enough soul?

Rhodes guessed in his heart.

He has already felt the changes this star has brought to him. His mental exhaustion is decreasing at an obvious rate, his throbbing nerves are calming down, and even the obelisk seems to be recovering a little faster.

It seems that its function is to restore and heal, just don't know the specific category.

The following three lines of text need to quickly figure out what they mean.

Still trying to get more souls.

Rhode wrote down what he was going to do, put down his hand, and the dark night sky disappeared, revealing a cracked blue-grey tablet surface.

"We have to find a way to restore the obelisk, otherwise what if there is an invasion and it will be broken when touched?"

Rhode thought to himself, came to the left side of the obelisk and touched the surface of the monument lightly.

A pure black color emerges from the surface of the tablet, then settles down, stopping at about half its height.

It's no different from before.

However, the right side of the obelisk has changed.

Before, the golden color on the stele stayed at about one-third of the way, but now there is not even one-tenth of it, and only a thin layer is left.

In an instant, Rhode thought of the golden light that saved him twice in a row.

"Where did it come from? Some kind of life-saving talisman? Showed up to save me in a crisis? Has it run out now?"

This is very bad news.

Let Rhode have some bad associations.

He came to the last side of the obelisk, and the moment he touched the surface of the obelisk, blood again meandered down from the spire, forming many blood-red words.

I didn't recognize them, but this time they looked a lot more normal, no longer an alarm-like structure, and they didn't flicker.

Rhodes calmed down a little, wrote down the font, and left the dream.

It's all over for now.

All crises are a little further away from him.

After a while, the day finally calmed down.

Rhodes was finally able to take a breath.

The atmosphere of Kingworth College is very good, and Rhodes can feel Wangcheng's dedication to it everywhere. Not only are the facilities in the college readily available, but even the teachers are both virtuous and artistic.

I haven't seen one of the rude, barbaric or misbehaving people. There is no such mantra as "you guys are the worst class I've ever had." Instead, it's replaced by "a little bit more oil, you can actually do it." "You are the best I've ever met. one term.”

Encouragement and positive feedback are the norm, and the teachers are not only enthusiastic, but also responsible for each student.

There has never been a chain of discrimination here. For poor students and students in difficulty, the college has even set up a student committee to combat bullying in any college.

Life here is basically carefree, the academy has covered all the basic needs of the students, and even the training materials are allotted.

Even students with ninth-level salary, as long as they don't waste it, they won't feel the lack of materials.

Of course, if you want to eat better, use better, and train faster, that's not enough.

However, the college has a special salary promotion examination, which can be upgraded from the ninth level to the special level.

Salary grades at the time of admission are not so much a discriminatory treatment, but rather an incentive for poor students. A kind of hard work has an atmosphere and belief that will pay off.

If it wasn't for the trouble, Rhode really wanted to live here forever.

Such a pure environment, no matter where it is, has become less and less.

But unfortunately, he can't experience it properly now, and he has a lot to do.

First of all, study hard.

Knowledge is now not just power to him, but life.

He needs to understand this world, this kingdom, and this royal city more fully and deeply in order to make targeted strategies and to survive better.

Then train very hard.

The battle with the invading monsters revealed his true form. He had no power at all, and he didn't know how to fight at all. When he played, he was instantly killed.

The golden light to save his life has been used up. If there is another invasion, he can only rely on himself.

Finally, he has to figure out a way to make money.

The weekly salary of forty-two silver cords is not enough for him, not to mention that he has to buy training and combat supplies, the gap is quite large.

In this way, Rhodes went to class during the day, learned common and ancient languages ​​by himself at night, went to the dreamland before going to bed, and occasionally sent Wayne and green-haired Zales, who were gradually developing into best friends, and then tried to find a way in the department. Doing odd jobs, one day goes by.

It was also a fulfilling time.

The only thing that is more annoying is Kashan. She has become more and more like the first sister in ten groups. She is bossy in the group, and everyone is afraid of being angry or speaking.

But in all fairness, she is just urging everyone to study and complete the training on time and according to the amount, but her attitude is arrogant and her methods are a bit rough, which makes people uncomfortable.

Rhodes understands this very well.

Learning and growing is a very painful thing, but free fall is much easier and much happier.

Of course, if it's just for your own future, you don't have to push too hard. All roads lead to Rome, and the splendid future is not the only one.

But if there is a future race of the family and country among them, it's not a problem for Kashan to press it a little bit.

So on this issue, Rod and Cassan are on one side, and even used a famous quote to encourage the miserable Wayne and green hair:

"Cry more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime."

These concise and sincere words quickly spread, and won a great favor from Kassan, and Rhode's hard-working attitude also made her very satisfied, so he became one of the few people in the group who was not criticized by Kassan. .

But what annoys Rhode is that this girl has completely regarded his dormitory as his home. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

He often ran in without knocking on the door, worked or studied in his dormitory, and put a lot of things he didn't normally use here, and from time to time he came in to get it or simply asked him to deliver it.

If it weren't for the fact that she helped him pay the water tower bill on Firehammer Street, he would definitely change the lock.

But these are only small things after all. Rhodes studied hard and trained hard not because he had much self-control, but because he would die if he didn't do it.

Still, quiet days don't always last long.

On the third day after the investigation, Inspector Lauren came to him once and told him that the investigation of the gray cats Alai and Bass by the Internal Affairs Judgment was ongoing.

The evidence so far has been found against him, preparing him for a lengthy interrogation.

This gave Rhode a great sense of crisis. He tried to ask Miss Lan and Bai's address, and wanted to find an opportunity to deepen the connection.

But was ruthlessly rejected by Lauren.

"The guardian's mansion, no combatants below level three can enter."

Rhodes was very depressed, not to mention the third-level combatants, without the leadership of high-level personnel, he could not even get out of the gate of the academy.

The second thing was that he found that his second star was really about to go out.

Its light is getting dimmer and more transparent.

This made Rhodes panic. How could the stars that were finally ignited be extinguished?

However, where would he go to find his soul at this time and a half?

Can't let him kill in the academy?

Don't say whether he is willing or not, even if he is crazy, the academy with all kinds of secret defense forces will arrest him immediately.

At that time, even if he is the reincarnation of Eros, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to heaven.

How to do?
