The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1301 - 647: Blood Moon Descends

Takxis said in a deep voice, "I will take on everything."

Mod’s face twisted for the first time, and he roared, "What can you take on? The lives of twenty million comrades, with what will you bear this? What do you have to shoulder this?"

Bossivale tried to mediate, but was scolded and had no choice but to seek help from Rod.

Here, Rod was the only one who could make these two listen to reason.

Rod was also very hesitant at this moment. Instinctively, he thought they should run as fast as possible, but rescuing people could grant him divinity, and killing monsters yielded its own rewards.

The choice was extremely difficult.

But, despite the allure of divinity, Rod restrained himself. Leaving as soon as possible was the best choice.

Unexpectedly, this time, Rod also couldn’t persuade Takxis. He remained stubborn, determined to break away from the group if everyone disagreed.

Rod saw the resolve in his eyes, so he changed his stance, moderately supporting Takxis.

Thus, the search radius of the team expanded further, reaching the limits of Takxis’ patrol area.

The number of people further increased, but it didn’t significantly affect their speed.

And witnessing the rescue of survivors, many people’s views quietly changed. Rescuing was worthwhile; no one could ignore the life and death of their compatriots.

Everything went very smoothly until the early evening of the second day.

Just as the sun had set, the sky turned pitch-black, and a blood-red moon hung in the night sky.

"Blood Moon! The Blood Moon has arrived!"

Mod shouted anxiously.

"Takxis, we must leave here as soon as possible!"

Takxis looked through the observatory and turned livid, but still persisted in his plan.

"It doesn’t matter; according to the prophecy, the God of Contaminated Blood will descend in three days, and no matter how strong the Contaminated Flesh is, it poses no major threat to us."

The next day.

The sun did not appear; the sky remained dark, and the Blood Moon still hung high in the night sky.

Under such abnormal heavenly phenomena, all flesh constructs went mad.

Stronger, more terrifying flesh puppets began to appear,

and within the team, with Mod at Strong Monarch Level gone, along with Evela and Qingyu, the chosen ones of fire, the pressure suddenly increased dramatically.

Fortunately, Rod stepped up at this time. He was the only one among them who became stronger during the Blood Moon. The Book of Knowledge stated that this was an effect brought by [Blood Contract Revival], greatly enhancing the aura of his flesh and blood.

His extremely high life strength also significantly increased Rod’s combat efficiency. He always charged to the forefront, using his body to block the attacks of monsters, creating a good environment for his teammates to output damage, and then delivering the death blow when the monsters were on the brink of death.

And Takxis continued his rescue operations. This day was his most frantic day because they were already very close to the Shattered Mountains, and the next day they would leave Saint Reel.

On this day, Takxis employed various methods to rescue hundreds of thousands of civilians and thousands of warriors back. He exhausted his spiritual energy and overextended his life, and had to stop.

And they finally came to the foot of the Shattered Mountains by nightfall.

Rod once again saw these mountains, with fragmented spaces.

Void storms raged in the mountains, and the tides of the planes echoed in the fissures.

Crossing these mountains would lead them out of Saint Reel, away from this land cursed by Ancient Gods, and temporarily out of danger.

However, Takxis was stunned to discover that the originally clear path through the mountains had collapsed at some point, and spatial turbulence raged above. That main route was no longer passable.

What should they do?

To bypass the Shattered Mountains, they would need to take a very long detour.

Not only was the route long, but it was also a great distance from Trolian, requiring much more time than initially anticipated.

Fortunately, the chief disciple of the Great Prophet prophesied a new safe route. It was much more complicated, but luckily it simply wound around and wasn’t much longer.

"But this route is dangerous; many powerful flesh puppets are gathered there," the chief disciple dejectedly told Rod. "Master Takxis and Master Mod have both lost their combat power. It will be difficult for us to get through. We should take the detour."

Rod shook his head. Detouring was absolutely not an option. Even if it were faster, it would take an extra week, which was far too risky.

"We’ll take this route."

Rod took command of the team and moved along this not-too-narrow gorge, entering the Shattered Mountains.

He originally wanted the Book of the Future to take a look at their future, but unfortunately, it was now unconscious, leaving him no choice but to press on with gritted teeth.

Sure enough, before long, they encountered a fortress of powerful flesh puppets. Liszt quickly scouted ahead and reported that there were several flesh giants inside—extremely powerful flesh puppets with spiritual energy over level 16—along with hundreds of flesh puppets, and a Resurrection Totem in the fortress.

"Sir Rod, we should retreat."

Liszt reported.

"With our current combat strength, we’re no match for them, especially the three flesh giants whose spiritual power strength exceeds 2,700,000 kilocores. Although they lack a Strong Source or Source, their definitely powerful spiritual energy can destroy everything."

Rod slightly shook his head. "No, I have a way."

"But there are hundreds of flesh puppets in the fortress, and they are very powerful under the Blood Moon. With our current combat strength, it’s just impossible to shake them. Even if we win by luck, we’ll face severe losses."

"I have a way, too. Gather everyone and prepare for battle."

Once the order was given, Horus practically sprinted over, but upon seeing Qingyu beside Rod, he knew persuasion was futile. He could only follow commands, gathering most of the warriors who could fight, about 8,000 in total.

Soon after, Rod arrived at the fortress. Before he could think of a way to draw out the monsters, the three flesh giants suddenly charged out.

No resistance!

Just in time!

Rod clutched the [Spirit Realm Exile Curse Seal] and the [Star Mark] in both hands, instantly banishing the three monsters to the Spirit Realm.

"The book!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The Book of Knowledge replied hoarsely, "Alright!"

In the next moment, an attack from the Dream Realm’s spiritual realm had already locked onto them.

Rod immediately returned to the Dream Realm, holding the Light Platform and launched a spiritual realm strike.

"Destroy!"

Three brilliant lights shot forth from the Dream Realm, crossing the spatial distances and positional barriers, directly hitting these three monsters.

The Spirit Realm Strike with 77 Source Energy had become much stronger, heavily wounding them in one blow.

Without strong source spiritual energy, it was as fragile as paper.

Unfortunately, Rod couldn’t cross this great distance to finish off the monsters, and the range of the Sun Tower wasn’t that far. In the end, he could only deliver another spiritual realm strike.

This equaled 20 points of divinity, destroying a flesh giant, along with a cost of [Spirit Realm Exile Curse Seal] and [Star Mark], not very cost-effective, but for now, Rod couldn’t worry about much else.

With the disappearance of the flesh giants, cheers erupted from the team into the sky.

But Liszt reminded, "There are still hundreds of flesh puppets left. We’ll face tremendous casualties..."

Rod wasn’t afraid; behind him were 8,000 warriors, from low to high ranks indiscriminately gathered. He immediately activated the [Blood King’s Court].

In the next moment, a surge of blood flooded the team, boundless red light illuminating a vast empire. The bloody silhouette engulfed not only the 8,000 warriors but also extended into the ranks of the civilians, affecting millions of them.

Rod felt something rising and igniting within him, transforming into limitless power pouring into his body, his face burning, life boiling, greatly increasing his physical strength and skyrocketing his defensive abilities.

At this moment, he felt invincible! Nothing could harm him!

The Blood Moon greatly enhanced [Blood Contract Revival], and the power of [Blood King’s Court] increased tremendously.

Rod waved his hand, "Brothers, let’s go!"
