The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 847 - 463: Struggle

Black Knights are typical Fallen. These creatures mostly retain the characteristics they had as humans. Their combat abilities are stronger, but like humans, their resistance to strikes is weaker compared to pure monsters. They are more accustomed to dodging and blocking rather than taking hits directly.

So, a heavy strike from a Phantom can directly create a vulnerability.

Rod, with a reverse hand grab, easily harvested a great soul.

In the past, if Rod wanted to kill such a powerful monster, he would have had to play multiple cards, fighting tirelessly.

But now, he merely uses a death glare, takes a sword to the face, and with a Phantom ambush from behind, a casual grab takes out a strong super-rank monster.

Rod had honed this tactic for a long time, mainly using the skill "Soul Harvest".

As an attack skill, its probability of killing a monster is extremely low, and its cumulative probability consumes excessive Spiritual Energy, making it not very useful aside from battlefield cleanup — Rod had shelved it for a long time.

However, it has an additional function: it generates immense hatred in the monster it’s used on, driving them to launch a frenzied attack without regard for defense.

At this moment, it was the Phantom’s turn to shine.

After quantification, besides the vast functional transformation, "Wind’s Phantom" gained a very convenient ability — the summoned Phantom could temporarily hide in his soul and be recalled when needed.

Thus, at the instant a monster launches an attack, the Phantom could suddenly appear for a back attack.

This chain combination is designed to specifically take down Fallen corrupted from human powerhouses.

It has little effect on other types of monsters because most monsters’ Spiritual Energy continually pervades their whole body, making it inconsequential where on their body they get attacked.

Using the most violent strike to break the monsters’ Spiritual Defense limit is Rod’s best method of dealing with them.

However, monsters at the strong super-rank have very high Spiritual Power Strength.

Unless using a killer move, breaking through and creating a soul vulnerability with a single shot is difficult.

So, for Rod, this place is practically paradise.

Rod stood not far away, glaring with one death stare after another, watching as one Black Knight after another rushed in, only to be taken down by the Phantom, and subsequently harvested by Rod.

Piles of great souls flew into the Soul Altar, and 3 points of divinity smoothly submerged into the thick mist of Star Square.

The Book of Knowledge laughed heartily, Asa looked dazed, with a hint of envy.

Only the Puppet remained calm.

The more powerful souls, naturally, the better. They are the fuel for the Dream Realm, Rod’s ladder upward.

With each bit of strength Rod gains, the Dark World cloaked in black fog weakens by a bit.

In just a few clock hours, this entire neighborhood’s Black Knights were wiped out by him.

It was a victory that was a complete release.

Such efficiency is simply unimaginable, already approaching the level of Special Level Combatants, but Special Level Combatants rarely engage in such mass slaughters, as their combat power is a strategic level force for Trolian and cannot be recklessly squandered.

Too many monster killings would lead to excessive dark backlash corrosion of their souls, affecting their combat effectiveness.

Rod’s greatest feature is that he doesn’t have to worry about this issue.

As long as his Humanity is sufficient, most of the backlash-induced corruption will quickly be cleared, and the few corrosions that breach his Humanity protection will be completely resolved within a few days, causing no impact.

After visiting the Soul Church several times, the Royal City had fully recognized Rod’s abilities, allowing him to kill rampantly without many restrictions.

Of course, they were not aware that Rod’s soul self-cleaning ability was limitless, and the Royal City thought Rod was like Allan, a soul with a strong self-cleaning state, judging Rod by Allan’s standard, only that Rod was currently far from Allan’s level, hence feeling no restriction.

After harvesting the last Black Knight, Rod used the Star Disk to determine the location, then sent the location and information via Spiritual Communication to Soron.

Soron would then mark this area as cleared and share the information with everyone.

After completing all this, Rod, smiling, walked towards Mephit: "How about it? Isn’t your captain awesome?" freewebnøvel.coɱ

Mephit had indeed stood watching the whole process without moving a finger, yet her silvery white eyes still only showed calm, her expression indifferent as always.

"Awesome."

Mephit gave a calm response, after spending so long with Rod, she already knew how to answer his questions.

"Not bad."

Rod smiled joyously — when a beautiful girl with silver hair and eyes calls you awesome, any man would feel happy.

"Mephit, you’ve become quite skilled."

Mephit looked at him with her silvery white eyes, expressionless, and said calmly, "Of course, all thanks to your teaching."

Rod smiled slightly, just about to speak again when the flame symbol on his collar flared up.

He pressed it, and Soron’s voice came through instantly.

"You little punk, what the hell are you up to?"

Rod replied with a confident smile: "Teacher Soron, how is it? Your student is no longer what he used to be. Aren’t you proud of me?"

Soron retorted angrily: "Proud of your nonsense! Cleared such a large area in three and a half clock hours, killed fifty-four Black Knights, do you think you’ve become the Fire Son?"
