The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 1824 - 833: Sweeping All Before Me

Royal City.

North City Gate.

This is the gateway to the northern part of Trolian. Although the current effectiveness of the northern defenses is quite mediocre, the presence of the Holy Fire naturally exerts an extremely strong attraction on the monsters, so the Royal City still bears more than ninety percent of the pressure on the entire defensive line.

Across the whole Dark Great Plain, the boundless Dark Monsters were converging on the Royal City.

Under the Eternal Night, the Strength of the Black Fog had already far surpassed its usual level. The surroundings of the Royal City were long since shrouded in true Black Fog, and the Royal City was like a lone island in a dark sea, barely holding out against the surging impact.

And Qingyu was the only Lighthouse on this lone island.

But now, even she was showing signs of being unable to hold on.

Layer after layer of vast Black Fog Symbionts surged forward, Black Fog Avatars like dark lightning shuttling through this tide of darkness, with some extremely powerful existences mixed in among them.

And they had only one target, Qingyu, who carried the aura of the Holy Fire.

Although she had mastered 25 portions of Root Origin and had the blessing of the Holy Fire, there were simply too many monsters. Every Black Fog Symbiont was a Derivative with at least level 16 Spiritual Energy. Though each one’s Spiritual Power Strength was only about 1,000,000 and thus extremely weak to the current Qingyu, when tens of thousands of Black Fog Symbionts were added together, their total Spiritual Power Strength had already far surpassed Qingyu’s.

But as an individual whose power tier was higher, Qingyu’s advantage was that she could pick them off one by one. Her Flame Giant Sword was extremely long; a single strike could wipe out over a thousand Black Fog Symbionts. These "weak" monsters didn’t even have the qualifications to get close.

However, the black tide was endless, and there were also powerful monsters like the Black Fog Avatars. The Spiritual Power Strength of a Black Fog Avatar was far beyond that of a Black Fog Symbiont, usually reaching the limit of level 17.

With 40,000,000 katek of Spiritual Power Strength, even Qingyu couldn’t kill them easily, and the black tide never stopped for even an instant. No matter how many Qingyu slew, there would always be more Black Fog Symbionts pouring in.

What’s more, within this endless tide, there were some existences that had broken through the limit. They were Fallen Souls that had slumbered in the Black Fog for countless years. Over this uncountable span of time, innumerable Black Fog had precipitated within their Dark Souls. Though in terms of tier they were merely Black Fog Symbionts, their power far exceeded that of Black Fog Symbionts.

Precisely because she was facing such immense pressure, Qingyu could only fall back again and again, relying on the power of the Holy Fire to weaken the monsters.

But the radiance of the Holy Fire was also being suppressed by the Black Fog. Under the Eternal Night, all fire-based powers were weakened, and the invasion of the Dark Souls further intensified this suppression.

Unless Qingyu completely abandoned the northern side of the Royal City and allowed the monsters to penetrate deeper into the city, she would not receive much assistance. Meanwhile, the vast majority of the city’s powerful individuals had already gone to support other regions of Trolian. Throughout the whole Royal City, she was the only powerhouse left.

The situation was becoming somewhat grim.

Just as Qingyu was hesitating over whether to draw further on the power of the Holy Fire, an extremely powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation suddenly rose from within the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground. In just an instant, that sky-piercing Spiritual Energy broke through the limit and reached 100,000,000.

Even more terrifying was the Source Law Power within it. Qingyu clearly felt that it obviously exceeded 25 portions, with at least over 30 portions of Strength. Although it seemed a bit scattered and not fully fused together, its might was hardly any weaker.

"Is it support from Saint Longde?"

Qingyu’s first reaction was that the official support team from Saint Longde that Rhein had mentioned had arrived, but she quickly sensed a feeling within this Spiritual Energy that was extremely familiar to her.

"Isn’t that little Rod?"

In that moment, even the always-calm Qingyu was deeply astonished.

Although Rod had always been known for his sudden explosive growth, she had never expected that, at this stage, he could suddenly step across such a vast gulf.

The next second, that powerful aura arrived on the battlefield in an instant.

Qingyu turned her head, and sure enough, it was Rod. His whole body was radiating powerful Spiritual Power Waves, and near-terrifying Source Law Power was pouring out from his Soul, causing Space itself to warp faintly.

"Little Rod!" she shouted, her tone filled with complex emotions.

In midair, Rod turned his head and smiled slightly. "Qingyu, you can’t use ’little’ to address me anymore."

Qingyu was slightly stunned and almost instinctively retorted, "Then what should I use?"

"Big, giant, hard, long—any of those works."

Rod spread his arms. With each word he uttered, his Spiritual Energy swelled a bit more. A strong red radiance shone through from his Soul, and Spiritual Energy like fresh blood spread throughout his body.

In the Dream Realm, the Skull sighed. "Ah, how nostalgic. The power of the Red War God has descended once more."

After obtaining the complete Giant Divine Sword and the Giant’s legacy, the [Giant God Power] had fully evolved. He no longer needed to summon the Giant Divine Sword, because it had originally been the Soul Power of the Red War God. Its Star Energy had already become [Red War God], and its Star Soul had already become [Giant Spirit].

The latter was precisely the Source Law possessed by the [Red War God]. Its characteristic was the ability to condense ultra-long wave Spiritual Energy. This Spiritual Energy could form his battle-form, granting him unparalleled Destructive Power.

It was precisely for this reason that Beakleus had earned the title of Red War God.

And now, Rod had inherited this title. Although he had obtained less than a tenth of the Red War God’s power, in this paltry Dark Epoch, it was already enough for him to be worthy of the two words "War God."
