The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 814 - 449: The Great Star Priest and the Dream Fragment

Chapter 814: Chapter 449: The Great Star Priest and the Dream Fragment

The phantoms of two Undead Banshees flew out from the white light and vanished into the Void.

Above Death Ridge, two gigantic Undead Banshees emerged from the Black Fog.

There were more Undead Banshees besieging Jessica.

She no longer moved, her massive serpent body coiled into a mass, relying on profound Spiritual Energy to resist the Banshees’ attacks.

Underground.

Inside the gigantic cavern.

The moment the white light descended, Rod clearly saw the summoning Source.

It was a mummy, clad in a robe covered with Sun, Moon, and Stars, standing on a wedge-shaped Altar, right hand raised high holding a long magic wand, as if summoning something, or waiting for something.

"It’s the Great Star Priest."

Ye Feng said in a deep voice.

"It’s astonishing to see his Living Corpse here; he still retains some human instincts, but these are merely repetitive, ritualistic behaviors, devoid of actual significance."

The Great Star Priest?

Rod frowned. Before entering the battleground of Starry Sky City, he had crammed all the materials related to the Starry Kingdom, remembering that the Starry Kingdom was a theocratic state, with the Starry Queen high above as the honor and symbol of divine power.

And the power of theocracy was grasped by a powerful organization called the Supreme Stellar Council.

In the memory of the Fighting Star Knight’s Order captain, this organization also appeared.

And the chief of the Supreme Stellar Council was the Great Star Priest.

Rod hadn’t paid much attention to this dry knowledge; he originally thought it unlikely to encounter their Living Corpses until entering Starry Sky City, yet unexpectedly he met one here.

The Dream Fragment was in its chest cavity, Rod sensing that urgent summoning feeling clearly.

The Book of Knowledge was excitedly jumping up and down in his mind, shouting wildly: "Fragment, Master, Dream Fragment!"

Rod ignored it. The monster once named human still retained some human characteristics, and even under the vision of the Eye of the Soul, its Spiritual Power Strength couldn’t be directly seen.

Riegel whispered, "Bro, is the Great Star Priest very strong?"

Ye Feng was silent for a moment, then replied, "I don’t know. In any material obtained regarding the Starry Kingdom, there’s never any direct mention of the Great Star Priest’s strength, and after so many years fallen into darkness, no one knows what changes they’ve undergone."

Rod calmly stated, "The Great Star Priest is strong, at least he was strong in life."

"How do you know?"

"In the Soul Devouring King’s castle, a corner was struck down by a meteor; Jon once told me that was a meteor summoned by the Great Star Priest."

Ye Feng’s expression was uncertain, his eyes filled with worry, his mouth moved but no sound emerged.

However, Riegel appeared quite relaxed: "Bro, let’s stick to the old tactic, I’ll go test the waters."

Ye Feng was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Riegel, your Immortal Body’s level is only seven; its defense and resistance haven’t reached the limit. If you encounter an exceptionally powerful attack, it might breach your Immortal Defense."

Riegel laughed, "Impossible, I’ve never encountered a monster that could pierce through the Immortal Defense."

Ye Feng’s tone became somewhat urgent: "That’s because the Fire Hall hasn’t assigned you missions exceeding the limit. Each battle of yours is carefully selected by the Hall, ensuring it remains under the defense limit, but it’s different here."

Riegel waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Don’t worry, bro, the Immortal Body isn’t that easy to kill; even if the defense is breached, as long as the soul persists, my body won’t decay. Just soaking in the Life Spring can resurrect me. Isn’t this the law of ’immortality’?"

Ye Feng wanted to say more, but Riegel was already enveloped in Golden Light and charged towards the Great Star Priest ahead.

The Great Star Priest seemed not to notice him, still holding the magic wand high, repeating the previous chant.

"Starry Kingdom, for ages eternal, glorious light everlasting!"

The booming voice echoed through the cavern, perhaps having been chanted for a thousand years.

But until today, no living creature had ever heard it.

Ye Feng stared intently at Riegel’s figure, watching him approach the strange wedge-shaped Altar without causing a reaction from the Great Star Priest.

Not until Riegel reached out to touch did the Great Star Priest awaken suddenly with a loud shout: "Monster!"

The raised magic wand crashed down heavily. Riegel laughed, "A priest fighting me in close combat?"

Lifting his hand to block, there was a loud crash, and Riegel felt an incredibly powerful force penetrate his arm, shattering the Immortal Defense, scattering the Golden Light, the wrenching pain like an arrow stabbing into his brain, his arm breaking, and the wand still aimed at his face.

Thankfully, Riegel reacted quickly and retreated in a hurry, dodging to the side.

His Spiritual Energy awoke, and Golden Light reappeared on his hand. With his left hand, he twisted, righting the arm, Riegel clenched his fist, already restored as before.

"Haha, this is the strength of the Immortal Body."

He called back.

"This old monster isn’t very formidable, merely strikes hard. Wearing the High Priest’s robe, he’s essentially a warrior of immense strength, but poses no real threat to me."

Ye Feng shouted, "Riegel, be cautious! I have a feeling it’s not that simple."

Riegel laughed, "Rest assured, bro," then turned to charge again.

The Great Star Priest remained oblivious to him until Riegel’s fist touched him. Immediately, he roared, "Monster!"

A transparent ripple spread outward, with a powerful Spiritual Defense Field blocking Riegel’s attack.

The Great Star Priest raised the magic wand again, and Riegel swiftly jumped back, laughing, "Want to try again? Do you think Grandpa’s a fool?"
