The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1446 - 698: Resurrection of the Sun_4
In that moment, Rod felt as if the place had brightened, and all the guard knights raised their heads, their gaze shooting in from all directions, with every pair of eyes sparkling.
Yes, they had been disappointed too many times. No matter what method the Royal City used, it was impossible to save the former Sun Knight, the legendary warrior of the previous generation, who had been lying here for twenty years. Any kind of miracle lost its effect under the terrifying and twisted curse of the Amig Demon.
But this one before them was different.
The number of miracles he created was as numerous as the stars in the sky. In the past two years, all news about him was of unparalleled victory. It seemed he would never fail, and that nothing was impossible before him.
He even became the first powerful Monarch of Trolian, growing step by step from a newcomer to Trolian’s strongest (besides the King).
Maybe he really did have a way?
The decayed flesh in the stone coffin quivered a bit, and Rod could feel a powerful will rising from within.
"Little Rod."
His voice was kind and peaceful.
"Can you really do it? Will it affect the King’s recovery? For the legacy of Horror Castle, he has dug out his heart again, and the King is about to ascend as a True King. He is the core of Trolian. If there is an effect, do not use it on me."
Rod smiled and said, "Sun Knight, do not worry. I have found the tomb of the Giant Dragon, unearthed the legacy of the Giant Dragon, and collected more than three hundred Dragon Hearts, enough to create three pieces of [Demon Dragon’s Heart]. Not only can it fully restore you and help the King recover, there will even be an extra portion, allowing us to have a King’s Banquet."
His words drew everyone’s attention, even Bossivale and Kai watched intently.
Curiously, he asked, "What is a King’s Banquet?"
Rod laughed and said, "[Demon Dragon’s Heart] can reshape the body. If only one heart is restored, wouldn’t that be a loss? The King, being such a strong person, surely has a body with high Life Power. So the King’s flesh, the King’s liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and other organs, can all be eaten, right? After the King becomes a True King, using another [Demon Dragon’s Heart], we can taste the flesh and organs of a True King. Isn’t a banquet made from so much King material a King’s Banquet?"
In that instant, everyone’s expressions became extremely strange, Bossivale’s mouth gaped open, eyes almost popping out. The guard knights’ faces seemed to be cracking, except Kai was laughing heartily, his voice causing the house to tremble.
"As expected of you, little Rod, you show me the King from twenty years ago. Before undergoing the Fire Passing Ceremony, he was just like you, carefree and without any qualms. Unfortunately, I don’t have the King’s strength, otherwise I’d want you all to taste a Sun Knight’s banquet, too."
Before the words had even finished, a dark shadow emerged from the corner.
"Heh heh heh, for a Sun Knight to have such ideas, it’s excellent."
Rod turned his eyes, and that hunched and elderly figure, dressed in blue and white priest robes, was the Great Priest Megan.
He opened his mouth, revealing rotten teeth, and laughed, "As soon I heard that Sir Rod had entered the Underground Cathedral, I came rushing. I wasn’t present when such a Life Mysterious Object was used last time, and regretted it immensely later. But I definitely won’t miss this opportunity, [Demon Dragon’s Heart] can recast the body, so let this corrupted corpse be entrusted to me."
Kai’s voice grew cold: "What are you planning to do, Megan?"
Megan laughed and said, "Of course, it’s to enhance Trolian’s combat capability. My creation, Brittania’s Annie, is stuck at the critical point of ascension. After my meticulous calculations, your polluted flesh can bring her rebirth, making her the most special Monarch Level combat strength, and I will also embark on an unprecedented new path."
Kai said coldly, "No, I disagree. Your methods are no different from monsters. Why have you turned into this from the sunny person you were decades ago?"
Megan sneered: "I have not changed. It’s only my knowledge and wisdom that have. Calier’s road of non-human voice has the King’s consent, and it plays an irreplaceable role in the battles of Trolian."
"Yes, if it weren’t for this, I would have eradicated your entire laboratory. But this is my body, and I don’t want to give it to you. The King won’t agree to you doing this either."
The atmosphere became tense, with guard knights drawing their weapons, ready to drive someone away.
At this moment, Rod suddenly remembered Heigao’er’s words. He had said that to use a new path was the only way to break through the "Spiritual Restriction."
And in Trolian, besides the Starfire Path and Spiritual Fire Path of the Fire Holder, there were also the paths of the White Spirit Inheritor and Black Inheritor. Furthermore, in Calier’s secret troops, there was the "Unawakened" path that fused with monsters.
Among these five paths, only the path of the Fire Holder could achieve combat strength above Monarch Level.
The other three could at most only have combat power similar to that of a Commander.
But Brittania’s Annie is the only one with hope of breaking through this limitation.
However, Megan’s methods are repulsive, and Rod was undecided. So, he asked the Book of the Future to make a prediction.
The Book of the Future flipped through its pages swiftly, hesitantly saying: "Master, I can’t be certain, but it seems there’s nothing particularly bad."
Receiving this answer, Rod immediately spoke: "Kai, maybe we can let him try."
The Sun Knight sighed softly, tacitly agreeing to his request.
Megan bowed deeply to Rod: "Thank you, Lord Rod, your wisdom is unparalleled. I knew you would support me."
Rod glanced at him and said lightly: "I’m only doing this for Trolian. Remember our agreement, do not go too far, or I will propose to the King to abolish your Calier’s non-human voice."
Megan looked up, split his mouth open, revealing his rotten teeth once more, and laughed: "I understand, please rest assured, Calier’s non-human voice Laboratory will not go a step beyond the Thunder Pool."
Rod said no more and returned to the Dream Realm to start creating [Demon Dragon’s Heart].
[Demon Dragon’s Heart]: Recast the body, restore life, greatly enhance vitality, surpass all laws, ignore all prohibitions.
Requires: 1 Dragon King’s Heart (or 100 Dragon Hearts from adult Giant Dragons), 100 points of Divinity
All materials are ready!
Rod came to the Stone Platform, and with a thought, the creation began.
The huge Dragon Heart was drawn by an invisible force into the Stone Platform, countless tools danced around, cutting it, and golden Divinity flew out from the Obelisk, merging into it.
In just a moment, the 100 Dragon Hearts were consumed, and 100 points of Divinity left him.
In their place was a shining ruby on the Stone Platform.
It was about the size of a palm, heart-shaped, with a crystal-clear gemstone that seemed to encapsulate countless compressed flesh and blood within.
Rod carefully picked it up, feeling the surging Life Power within.
This is the [Demon Dragon’s Heart]!
With a thought, his consciousness returned to the Material World, and the [Demon Dragon’s Heart] appeared in his palm.
Rod slowly walked forward, activating Spiritual Vision, and placed the [Demon Dragon’s Heart] at the center of Kai’s soul.
At that instant, a miracle started.
The power of life surged forth, new flesh blossomed from the decayed meat, fresh red bone membranes, white tendons, eyeballs, muscles, and organs intertwined together, forming a male human in an instant.
He was not tall, with short golden hair, an ordinary appearance, but his body harbored infinite power.
When he stepped out of the stone coffin, endless light burst from his body, a powerful heat rose, as if a sun had risen before their eyes, shaking the Sea of Source and the Spirit Realm.
The Sun Knight was resurrected.
At the moment of his rebirth, he stepped into Monarch Level.
And in the boundless golden light, the line of golden text before Rod’s eyes was also clearly visible.
Saved the Sun, Divinity +175
Saved the Steel Queen Annie, Divinity +35
