The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1456 - 702: King of Bright Light and the Gold Rice Bucket
Amid Bossivale’s coughing, Horus finally saw Rod not far away.
He spread his arms, and the stronger, deeper Spiritual Power released from his soul swept through the entire room like a storm, directly suppressing his Spiritual Power.
Horus opened his eyes wide, looking at Rod in disbelief.
His massive Spiritual Power wave clutched him like a pair of large hands, covering his Spiritual Power within his soul.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free.
"This... This is level 16 Spiritual Power, Absolute Spiritual Power strength exceeding 1.4 million millis... Impossible, this is impossible, how long have I slept? Ten years, twenty years, or a hundred years? Is our kingdom still called Trolian? Has the light of the fire already illuminated the Main Continent?"
Bossivale coughed once.
"Archbishop, since you began receiving the legacy of the Holy King, not much time has passed. In fact, this year is still 1326 in the Tesrivian Calendar."
Horus’s face looked like it might crack:
"But before I went into seclusion, Rod was clearly a Commander, with Spiritual Power strength of less than 600,000 millis. How come now..."
Bossivale smiled and said, "Lord Rod achieved a breakthrough ten days ago, becoming the first powerful Monarch of Trolian. His potential is immeasurable, his ascent untraceable. He is our savior, Trolian’s hero, a miracle and invincible War God."
Rod looked at the stunned Horus, smiling happily.
"Archbishop, you just said, what were you planning to do?"
Horus’s face flushed slightly, but it lasted only a moment before he returned to calm.
Rod’s rapid growth in strength is not the first time. However, in the weaker stages, many have surged similarly, even more intensely than him, making him seem not so special by comparison.
But most geniuses slow their growth speed after entering the Commander stage, and only Rod is different.
He continues to advance swiftly, from Commander to Half-step Monarch, from Half-step Monarch to powerful Monarch, Rod has walked step by step.
Only at this stage, such growth speed becomes terrifying, making it hard for Horus to accept.
He was stuck at the Half-step Commander stage for a long time. This time, borrowing the residual soul of the Holy King, and using the Light Stone, he could step into Monarch Level, thinking he could again surpass Rod, only to find Rod had already exceeded him.
It must be said, this is a miracle.
But Rod, isn’t he the one creating miracles?
Horus’s thoughts took a moment to adjust and accepted this fact.
His expression stern, he rebuked, "Rod, don’t speak nonsense. I am Trolian’s Archbishop, a 59-year-old man; respect the elderly and love the young, alright? Although you are the strongest new star, our hero, you are far too young, lacking experience. An old man like me, I’ve eaten more salt than you, uh... relieved yourself, just fitting to give you some life advice. You must listen carefully."
Rod frowned and said, "Horus, such a heavy taste, giving so much salt aren’t you afraid of oversalting people? I’ll just say, when having the King’s Banquet, we can’t give salt according to your taste."
Horus’s expression seemed very displeased.
"I’ve said so much, and you just noticed my excessive salt? So what is the King’s Banquet?"
Rod briefly explained, leaving them both astonished.
But what Horus cared about was not the "banquet" he mentioned. He rushed over and gripped Rod’s shoulder, urgently asked, "Have you found the Giant Dragon Graveyard? Found enough preserved Giant Dragon hearts to make three Demon Dragon Hearts? Then Sun Knight, Kai has been saved?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Rod smiled and said, "He’s already recovered."
Bossivale added, "And has attained a breakthrough to Monarch Level, becoming the fifth Monarch of Trolian, you being the sixth."
He briefly introduced Kai’s current situation.
At that moment, Horus felt a sense of dizziness, a sensation of traversing time rising from the depths of his heart again.
When he began his retreat, Trolian faced great pressure, the future was murky, crises were looming, and they had just retrieved the Holy King’s legacy from Horror Castle, everything had yet to begin.
When he awoke, everything had undergone a world-shaking change.
"Quick."
Horus tightly grasped Rod and Bossivale’s hands.
"Quickly tell me everything that’s happened during this time! I need to know how far Trolian has progressed."
Thus, Rod and Bossivale recounted all the recent events with concise words.
They told him, Trolian had already captured the Great Dragon City and completed all expansions.
The Star Marrow Altar officially activated, the Black Fog Great Wall raised up, the "Eternal Sanctuary" planning initially completed, and the Pure Star Source Potion being rapidly produced. Nearly all geniuses have returned to the Royal City, with each person’s power rapidly growing.
The Royal City is also frantically expanding its size by more than ten times, with new roads and new settlements completed daily, material resource production skyrocketing daily. In short, Trolian is walking on a path of rapid change.
But relative to the rapid growth in consumption, it’s still far from enough.
Additionally, the Royal City rapidly built the Holy City at the center of Trolian, the throne of the Holy King formally placed within, with a million people responsible for its maintenance, providing Fire Kindling and Fuel Element, also offering refuge for all humanity.
