The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1370 - 676: Harvest (First Update)

2,950,000 Spiritual Energy, with an almost impossibly 100% efficiency, completely converted into a turbulent state, this extraordinarily powerful strike pierced through the lower abdomen of the Armored Giant, creating an explosive giant crater.

Both Luo Weiya and the Bald Master were stunned by this terrifying strike. It must be noted that the strongest position of the Armored Giant is its lower abdomen, where the thickest skin of its body accumulates.

This greenish, armor-like skin has an extraordinary defensive power, and most attacks cannot effectively damage it, especially since its Spiritual Energy can continuously repair the skin’s wear and tear.

Unless you can exhaust its Spiritual Energy, which is over 8,000 tracks in magnitude, it is nearly impossible to kill it.

Of course, the elite combat cluster expedition to the Great Dragon City can kill the Armored Giant.

After all, it’s just a Strong-level Super-ranked monster with a singular Source. As long as enough warriors are sent out with a complete team configuration, they can wear it down to death.

But prolonged combat would alert more giants, leading to infinite battle expansion. Trolian’s three failed expeditions to the Great Dragon City were largely due to the Armored Giant.

The Royal City tried many ways to deal with the Armored Giant but ultimately failed. The biggest problem was the inability to pierce its green skin and cause effective damage.

Yet Rod’s single strike broke through its most defensive position, shattering the dozens of layers of overlapping green skin.

However, Luo Weiya immediately saw that the Armored Giant wasn’t dead.

Even though this strike was extremely powerful, other monsters with the same strength would have been blown apart.

But this is a giant.

Still, the hardest and bravest warrior among the Giant Clan.

Unless Rod can follow up with another strike.

Such a level of attack requires only two strikes to kill the Armored Giant.

But this is not possible unless Rod has already become a powerful Monarch level; he is now at most a Half-step Monarch.

"Not enough!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Luo Weiya immediately shouted.

"Run, Rod brother!"

The Bald Master also refused to be outdone, yelling: "Rod, this strike if made at its most vulnerable spot, might kill it in one hit, but the abdomen won’t do. It’s its strongest defensive spot. According to my observation, its weakness is its eyes. Hit the eyes next!"

"Nonsense!"

Luo Weiya immediately retorted.

"The eyes are not a weakness; that’s a trap. I’ve tried it! Its eyes are full of dense pollutants, and there’s another layer of hard green skin inside the eye socket."

The Bald Master smirked and said: "Luo Weiya, that’s because you didn’t use the latest model Barrel-46 Tactical Goggles, unable to observe its internal structure..."

Before the words fell, the Armored Giant let out a huge wailing sound, its Spiritual Energy appeared strange and riotous, and its massive body collapsed to the ground. The green armor-like skin shattered.

Boom!

Black corrosive materials sprayed out of the giant’s body, and scattered Spiritual Energy rained down, quickly evaporating in the air.

"What?"

The Bald Master widened his eyes, Spiritual Light flashing on the Tactical Goggles, operating at full power.

"Its soul, why did it collapse... Spiritual Energy in riot, body fragmented, Soul Body torn apart, just like, just like..."

Luo Weiya shouted: "Just like a tower with a broken load-bearing beam, the floors are collapsing!"

The Bald Master closed his mouth; there was no more apt description.

The giant’s massive soul was like it couldn’t bear its own weight, collapsing rapidly inward like a deflated balloon.

Rod leisurely approached it, gently reached into its soul full of holes, and the terrifying giant immediately collapsed like a heap of trash, its soul shattering into residue, black dust soaring up.

This signified the giant was completely dead, and the Black Fog began sourcing back to the void.

However, a part of the power had already been plundered by Rod.

[Soul of the Armored Giant] +1

Rod casually sacrificed it on the Soul Altar.

Invisible forces tore the shattered soul into dissolution, transforming into basic soul material.

Soul Without Spirit +3 billion

Spirituality +300,000

Source +1

Soul Trait Block (Giant) +112 pieces

Soul Residue +250,000 pieces

Strange Fragment +1

——

Nice harvest

Rod felt a bit pleased.

In just this turning moment, he had gained 250,000 pieces of Soul Residue.

As long as he kills eighty Armored Giants, the Soul Residue needed for the True King Ceremony would be complete.

This efficiency is unmatched.

Of course, Soul Residue is only a secondary gain, the main thing is he gained 3 billion Soul Without Spirit, 300,000 Spirituality, 1 Source, and 112 Soul Trait Blocks.

Such a harvest is too rich, normally Rod wouldn’t be this efficient.

Only worthy of the giant.

The only problem is that the Spirit’s Omen has dimmed down; this Soul Weapon entered a charging state after one strike, unsure when it can be reactivated.

Rod felt a bit disappointed; the Soul Weapon didn’t have much play space after being crafted, its only effective use was in the battle against the King of the Deep Sea, but even then it didn’t achieve decisive victory.

After multiple tests, Rod confirmed its actual effect is in the active state, tripling its Absolute Spiritual Power, but previously his Absolute Spiritual Power was weak, always relying on the strong Star to increase relative Spiritual Energy, leading to the Spirit’s Omen not being very useful.

It wasn’t until his Spiritual Energy broke through level 15 did it initially exhibit its power.

However, if the activation interval is too long, then it’s not as good as imagined.

May it be shorter.

Rod thought.

In a blink of an eye, he saw that strange fragment.

"Book, what is this?"

The Book of Knowledge pondered: "Seems to belong to a unique giant power, a power form unique to the Giant Clan."

"How come I never saw it before?"

"It only exists on specific giants and seems to have a certain relation with the Giant Source."

Rod nodded, not really concerned. Whatever its use, as long as it can be collected, with so many Giants here, everything can be gathered.

Could it possibly be a Strong Source belonging to a Giant?

Source Law, you can never have too much of it.

Rod stepped forward, casually extracting the ashes of the Armored Giant and placing them into the Dream Realm.

"Rod, brother... how did you do it?"

Luo Weiya looked at the scene before him in disbelief, under the highest level Crown Blessing, the Fire Mark reflected the scene clearly all the way back to him at Victory Fortress.

Luo Weiya, who had experienced three expeditions, understood better than anyone the troublesome nature of the Armored Giant. This monster was like a stubborn beast that couldn’t be killed, causing serious setbacks to their fights.

But Rod had killed it with just one strike.

Even a King might have a hard time accomplishing such a feat, right?

Rod laughed and said, "Didn’t I already say? I can see the Giant’s weakness; the Giant’s soul is far stronger than the souls of the same rank, it needs support, and that supporting point is the Giant’s weakness."

"Are you saying the Armored Giant’s weakness is at its strongest point?"

"Yes."

Luo Weiya sighed, "I see, no wonder the Armored Giant accumulates so much skin at a worthless defending point below the abdomen, it’s actually guarding its weakness."

The Bald Master shouted incredulously, "Why can’t I see it? Its soul, its Spiritual Power, its Spirituality network, all seem totally normal, no different from other monsters. How did you figure it out?"

Rod laughed, "Of course, using my unmatched intelligence. Only those with intelligence over 100 can see its supporting point."

"I think I vaguely saw it," Luo Weiya suddenly said, "I just never paid attention before."

"I saw it too, but I didn’t know what it was... Lord Rod!"

The Bald Master suddenly shouted.

"Giants, more Giants are coming!"

Amongst the distant Black Fog, countless gigantic black shadows came charging towards them. Their forms varied in height, ranging from 50 yards to 200 yards, but all had rotting faces, blackened bodies, breathing the Black Fog all throughout.

The explosive power contained within their massive Spiritual Energy drove their bodies to charge forward at incredible speed, shaking the ground.

"Large Giants!" Luo Weiya shouted urgently, "At least thirty large Giants!"

Rod had already seen them. Clenching his fist, he laughed, "Isn’t this perfect timing?"

As he moved his foot, 1.45 million kilocasts of Spiritual Energy instantly propelled the Red War God towards the Giants, directly crashing into their midst.

The red Giant formed by Giant God Power was only about a few dozen yards tall, appearing relatively "delicate" amongst these Giants, but its Spiritual Energy was not inferior.

Boom!

Rod directly blocked the heavy punch of a 120-yard-tall Giant. The Red War God’s figure remained unmoved in mid-air, whereas the Giant was pushed back three steps.

"Isa Vadis Giant."

The Book of Knowledge said softly.

"Its weakness is its neck."

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Five booming sounds echoed as Rod continuously deflected heavy blows from all directions. Then, his foot stepped into mid-air, and propelled by an explosive force of Spiritual Energy, he rushed in a flash to the Giant’s front, delivering a heavy punch to its neck.

"Die."

Rod smiled slightly, a warm current flowing through his soul.

[Truth]

[Divine Strike]

Boom!

The Giant’s neck was directly pierced through by the red giant fist, this powerful strike directly broke its soul’s support column. Immediately, its massive Spiritual Energy overwhelmed its soul, and its body crumpled like a fragile paper, its enormous head crashing onto the ground.

Rod grabbed it in reverse, finishing it off.

[Soul of Isa Vadis Giant]

The Book of Knowledge stood by the Soul Altar, immediately sacrificing this soul!

Soul Without Spirit +500 million

Spirituality +50 thousand

Soul Trait Blocks (Giant) +33 units

Soul Residue +40 thousand units

——

Not bad!

A casual monster yielded such a rich harvest.

Rod’s heart bloomed with joy, already picturing the grand spectacle of Invincible War God being welcomed back to the Royal City in triumph.

Bossivale is really making a fuss. If only these soul resources were needed to complete the True King Ceremony, I could create as many True Kings as I wanted.

Hahaha!

I am truly too strong.

Come on, let them see who the real Giants are.

Rod’s figure moved, and the red silhouette dashed back into the Giant crowd like lightning.

The Red War God began its journey of carnage.

Though the Giants were numerous, they were far less agile than him, had no higher Spiritual Power Strength, nor understood Combat Skills, they only engaged in random strikes. Such coarse methods of attack could never hit Rod, unless he chose to receive them.

The Red War God moved freely among the Giant crowd, like Fei Yan gliding through the tropical rainforests.

"Adesli Giant, weakness, back neck!"

"Kazan Giant, weakness, crotch!"

"Strange Crocodile Giant, weakness, mouth!"

With the Book of Knowledge’s guidance, Rod punched each one, these giant monsters, proud of their mighty defenses and deep Spiritual Energy, were rendered ineffective, easily slain.

They weren’t as powerful as the Armored Giant, not requiring the activation of "Spirit’s Omen," and sometimes didn’t even need [Truth]. Rod’s ordinary punch was enough to destroy them.

In just fifteen minutes, Rod annihilated the entire group of Giants.

Luo Weiya and the Bald Master were stunned, unable to comprehend how Rod managed to accomplish this.

Could it be that his intelligence really surpasses 100?

And among the intelligent ones, we still aren’t as smart as this young man?
