The Last King of Darkness

Rode ’s soul eye played a huge role, allowing him to see distant subtle changes through the black mist.
He could always detect the birth of dust at the first time.

This skill has only now fully demonstrated its abilities.
It must be used under the condition of spiritual vision.
It not only allows Rode to see through the fog, but also to see the veins of spirits, energy ripples, and spatial disturbances.

Darkness is no longer a visual obstacle, and the black mist has become a black background, a part of some larger existence.

Through this black background, he can see something deeper flowing, gathering, and being born, forming shadows like dust falling.

That is a demon.

The entire patrol area is within his visual range.
He can even see outside the area, see other patrol members, and the guardians who are helping them.

Thanks to Rode ’s abilities, this has also become the only patrol area where they do not seek help from guardians.

– They can always arrive at the first time and kill these dust-like demons at their birth.

This time is no exception.

”Let ’s go! ”

Although Raisin was very tired, he showed no signs of fatigue.

For a combatant, the mission is an order that does not allow any discount.

He can chat and tell jokes during patrols, but when demons appear, he must fight.

The three ran to the location pointed out by Rode.
Since Rode had not received professional training, his speed was much slower than theirs.
Karamon and he stayed behind, and the two people with cleaning abilities took the lead.

When they arrived, the demon had already been cleaned up.

But the hole in the mist layer above still existed.
The black mist fell like a waterfall, and the black mist filled the square.
Their spirit lamps could only illuminate the space around them.

”There is something corrupt here that is attracting it, ” Raisin said seriously.

”If it is not dealt with, it will cause a big disaster. ”

Aeg asked, ”Rode, can you find the source? ”

Rode hesitated.
He could see a lot of things, but most of them he could not understand what they were or what they represented.

”What is corruption? ”

”Highly corrupt material infected by black mist.
It is usually a substance rich in spirituality.
Due to its high pollution, it will attract black mist or any dark power to converge on it. ”

”Is there any characteristic of a substance rich in spirituality? ”

”It has very good spiritual conductivity and can resonate with spiritual energy to achieve amplification or change.
In addition, when spirituality changes, it will produce a strong distortion phenomenon.
After complete corruption, it will become black corruption, a breeding ground for infection. ”

Rode looked around and did not see what he said, but he found black flow-like veins going underground.

Although his spiritual vision is superb, physical matter still has a certain blocking effect, which will weaken the disturbances or visions he sees.

Especially the earth, which almost completely isolates his spiritual vision.

”It should be underground, ” Rode said.
”I saw the black mist flowing underground. ”

Raisin immediately understood, ”In the sewer, the corruption is in the sewer. ”Rode felt a bit uneasy.
Yesterday, they had talked about the many unknown threats in the city ’s sewer system.
He had no fighting ability and was afraid of going down there and getting killed.
It would be better to stay on the surface and kill some small demons.

”Let ’s call for backup. ”

Surprisingly, Raisin and the others immediately agreed.
”Let ’s call the Watcher.
Although it ’s the surface level of the sewer, there is still some danger. ”

Rode felt a little relieved and took out a signal flare.

It looked like a ball of mixed grass with many movable small pieces on the surface.

Rode followed Raisin ’s instructions and manipulated the small pieces before pulling the iron ring at the tail.

The signal flare shone with a bright orange-red light, shot into the sky with a long tail, and disappeared into the black mist.

With a loud bang, it bloomed with a red light that even the black mist couldn ’t cover.

After a moment, a yellow light rose in the northeast direction, and a changing yellow pattern appeared in the black mist.

Raisin said after looking at it for a while, ”The Watcher has allowed us to enter.
He has notified the Defense Department, and they will be here soon. ”

Rode was nervous.
He had no fighting ability and still remembered being killed by invading monsters in his dream.
In the cramped environment of the sewer, if he was attacked by demons, he would definitely die.

Raisin could see his unease and patted his shoulder with a smile.

”Don ’t worry.
We are all experienced.
The surface level of the sewer is generally not too dangerous, and we ’ve done this kind of cleaning work before. ”

Egg laughed, ”The biggest danger is the small holes in the walls.
As long as you don ’t look at them like Karamon, you ’ll be fine. ”

Both of them laughed.

Only Karamon blushed and argued, ”I clearly saw a big tentacle go in there! What ’s wrong with taking a look? ”

”Okay, okay.
After that, no one dared to approach you within ten meters for a week. ”

While teasing Karamon, Raisin carefully checked the lanterns on their bodies, took out a box of reddish-brown powder from his pocket, and added it to the lanterns.
The light inside the lanterns became visibly brighter.

”This is the secondary fuel made by Minghe Workshop.
It has anti-corrosion, anti-pollution, and anti-theft effects, and enhances the body ’s natural immunity. ”

Karamon sneered, ”Don ’t believe these boastful words. ”

Raisin smiled and gave everyone a glowing red stone.
”Red Tears Stone.
Wearing it can resist the erosion of the black mist to a certain extent, just in case. ”

Rode took the stone and stuck it on his chest like the others, and then saw a faint red light on everyone ’s body.

Finally, Raisin checked his equipment and weapons, took out a potion and drank it.
His spirits immediately improved, and the other two followed suit.
Rode saw that their spiritual energy had increased.

”Let ’s go. ”

He waved his hand and went to the place Rode pointed to, lifted the manhole cover, and jumped down.

Egg and Karamon followed suit, and Rode had no choice but to follow.Although Rode was a little nervous, he knew that the Soul Eye could detect danger in advance, and the surface of the sewer should not have any major dangers, otherwise the residents above would be the first to suffer.

And the information had been transmitted, and the guards would soon come to support.

There shouldn ’t be any problem, and maybe he could get some stronger souls during this opportunity.

With determination in his heart, Rode jumped into the dark entrance.

Clatter, clatter, clatter.

The four of them landed one after another, and the light on their bodies illuminated the dark space.

Unexpectedly, this place was far from being as dirty and filthy as Rode had imagined.
Instead, it was quite dry, covered in dust, and filled with a stale smell, as if no one had been here for a long time.

The space was not as spacious as imagined, only about one person tall and two people wide, with walls all around that were artificially chiseled, and many forks in the distance.

”This is a later-built sewer, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, ” Raisin said thoughtfully.

”Rode, can you see the direction of the black mist? ”

In their eyes, the black mist and darkness were almost indistinguishable, pervading everywhere, and when they approached, they would be dispelled by the spirit lamp, making it impossible to see the direction.

Rode looked around and pointed to the northwest.

Raisin nodded.
”Very good.
We will now proceed as a four-person team.
I will take the front position, Aig stands in the middle control position, Rode is in the rear reconnaissance position, but before Karamon.
Karamon, you are the rear support, also responsible for defense, protecting Rode.
Any questions? ”

Aig and Karamon answered in unison: ”No. ”

Rode was a little nervous.
”I don ’t really understand.
This is my first time… ”

Aig smiled and patted his shoulder, but didn ’t reach it, so he had to pat his back instead.

”It ’s okay.
With me as the central controller, you ’ll be fine. ”

Karamon snorted.
”Come on, last time the ghost spirit was all over my face, and you were blowing bubbles there. ”

Aig was angry.
”My spirit vision is low, I just didn ’t see it for a moment. ”

Find the original at ”pawread dot com ”.

Karamon sneered.
”Stone-wood core. ”

”As if you have high spirit vision, you ’re just a stone-wood core. ”

”Enough! ” Raisin stopped their argument.
”We don ’t have anyone with high spirit vision in our team.
Rode just happens to make up for our shortcomings.
We are now a perfect team, and we won ’t fail like we did at the Ghost Lake last time.
Let ’s go. ”

This made the two of them happy, and the four of them immediately set off in the direction Rode had indicated.

Raisin led the way, walking at the forefront, Aig in the middle, and Karamon at the back.

Every twenty steps, Karamon would throw a glowing stone as a marker, not only to avoid getting lost, but also to lead the direction of the support behind.

Rode opened his Soul Eye and Spirit Eye, carefully observing his surroundings and guiding the team ’s direction.

But there was nothing in the sewer, and it was eerily quiet.
His spirit vision couldn ’t penetrate these thick walls, nor could he see the ground or underground.

This made Rode ’s uneasiness rise again, but when he looked back and saw the glittering stones on the ground leading all the way to the entrance of the sewer, he felt calm again.

After passing two forks, the space suddenly opened up a lot.The top was at least as high as two floors, and the width was enough to accommodate five carriages side by side.
The air became humid, and an indescribable stench hit their faces.

The direction of the sewer made a horizontal turn, and there were many circular holes on both sides that were the same size as their passage.

Rode immediately understood that they had reached the main road.
Turning his head, he immediately saw a huge black shadow not far away.
It was about three meters tall, with an extremely large body and extremely small limbs.
Its body flowed with a melted darkness, and its spiritual veins were barely visible.
The operation of spiritual energy was like viscous asphalt, and the ripples of the soul were smooth with slight undulations.

In an instant, Rode remembered the words of the blind Mole.
Only monsters with black souls could have it.
And its soul wave, wasn ’t it the unformed ultimate monster discussed in class?

He immediately shouted, ”Left! Left! Ultimate monster! ”

A phantom flashed on Raisin ’s body, and his spiritual energy instantly became active.
He immediately turned to the left and asked in a deep voice, ”Distance? Type? Rank? Can you see its characteristics? ”

Rode choked up for a moment.
These questions were beyond his knowledge.
Karamon had talked to him about some of it, but his words were too trivial, and he couldn ’t remember them for a while.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately answered one of the questions, ”About a hundred meters! ”

Aeg frowned, ”What hundred meters? How many steps, how many yards? ”

Rode choked up again, but his mind was extremely clear in times of crisis.
He immediately shouted, ”Three hundred steps! ”

Karamon lowered his voice, ”Don ’t speak so loudly.
It will startle it! ”

”It ’s too late! ”

A loud roar came from the distance, and the black shadow rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed.
Its small short legs were very funny to bear its huge body.
Every step it took emitted a huge roar, and the ground trembled.
Some unknown black mud fell from the top of the sewer, like a black rain.

Boom!

With a loud noise, Rode hadn ’t reacted yet, but Raisin had already collided with it.

A white figure flashed before his eyes.
A thick white smoke passed over him and sprayed towards the black shadow.
Another smoke wrapped around him and moved him to the rear.
