The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1506 - 718: Bloody Battle (Part 4)
Anna, Kashan, Frank, and Teresa were in a heated discussion, continuously recounting their battles and how they killed the Flesh Puppets. Even the usually aloof Mephit occasionally chimed in.
The victory of mankind was an enormous encouragement for everyone.
Rod did not disturb them, but instead, he fell asleep as quickly as possible.
The night was very peaceful, and most warriors had a good night’s sleep.
The next day, when Rod woke up, another large group of reinforcements had arrived in the Royal City, including 4 Monarchs, Horus, Qingyu, Peibela, Red Queen, 26 Commanders, over 500 First Level Combatants, and more than 10,000 medical and logistics personnel from the Holy Church.
The arrival of these heavyweights made Great Dragon City increasingly reassuring.
The first thing Horus did upon arrival was to confirm that there was no problem with the Fire Descent Ceremony at the Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground.
"This is the key of keys."
Horus repeatedly emphasized to everyone.
"At the moment the Blood God’s true body arrives, the King must cross over with its help. If any issues arise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Rod raised his eyebrows: "Archbishop, don’t forget I also have the Teleportation Gate. If it fails, I can open the gate directly to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground."
Horus looked at him sternly: "Rod, do not harbor any illusions. The King has said that he can only exert his full power within the range of the Holy Fire. Even across the Teleportation Gate, his power would be weakened. In other circumstances, it might not be a problem, but this is a war against an Ancient God. Any weakening is unacceptable. The Fire Descent Ceremony is conducted with the strongest Guardian Fire resonating with the Holy Fire to carry the King’s power. It is the only way for the King to fight with maximum strength outside the Holy Fire, and it absolutely cannot have any issues."
Jon said gravely, "I believe the Doomsday believers will certainly plan to sabotage it, causing us to lose the battle."
"It is inevitable."
Horus said gravely.
"I have already requested Lucian to arrive before nightfall today. The Internal Affairs Court will deploy all elites to guard the Fire Descent Ceremony."
Qingyu said softly, "I will guard with Jon at the Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground to ensure the safety of the Guardian Fire and the Fire Descent Ceremony."
Only then did Horus feel at ease and began to handle other affairs.
Shortly after Morning, another wave of flesh creatures appeared at the front of Great Dragon City.
Their strength significantly increased, making them much harder to deal with than before.
The Commander of the Investigation Legion, Liszt, quickly sent back information that the Blood God had crossed the Sword Edge Mountain Range, passed over the Divine City of the evil Ancient God, and the real Blood Tide was coming.
Support from the Royal City also accelerated, with various personnel arriving continuously, and the transport of supplies never ceasing for a moment.
After Noon.
The number of Flesh Puppets noticeably increased, and the thick blood light spread like a carpet.
Everyone could smell a bloody, terrifying, and maddening aura. An uneasy Yin Cloud hung over Great Dragon City.
The battle quickly became intense. To ensure the advantage in battle, Jon deployed one-third of Great Dragon City’s combat power to the frontline.
As time passed, the number and strength of flesh creatures increased.
Under the blood-red glow, they were extremely fast, attacking fiercely. Their Spiritual Energy surged, quickly surpassing Level 13 and reaching Level 14.
Casualties began to occur at this time, forcing Jon to increase combat power.
Simultaneously, medical personnel in Great Dragon City began full-scale rescues. If any critical situation arose, Horus would personally take the field.
With such a super Medical King present, no one among humans had died yet.
But everyone knew that, as the fight intensified, that moment would come sooner or later.
At Dusk.
The sun set, reducing the power of the fire, strengthening the power of the Black Fog.
The range of the firelight in Great Dragon City shrank by about a third. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The real battle began at this time.
Standing on the city wall, Rod saw the rolling Blood Tide coming from afar.
It was not just red but a mix of red and black, instantly reminding one of death and pollution.
Beneath the city wall, the battle became extremely difficult.
Under the black and red blood light, the Flesh Puppets turned incredibly frenzied, their bodies larger than before, with the sharp Bone Scythes glowing red, and the power of Source Law appearing in their Spiritual Energy.
Though they had no souls, their Spiritual Energy had reached the strong level that only a Monarch could possess.
Human warriors retreated step by step, and the firelight was compressed to the extreme. Besides Monarch-level powers, no one could withstand such a torrent.
"It’s my time to step in," Rod said.
Jon hesitated, "Brother Rod, you just fought a battle not long ago. You haven’t rested at all today."
"True strength never rests."
Rod spread his arms and leaped straight off the city wall.
The Black Battle Group followed closely behind.
In mid-air, Rod’s whole body sparkled with Starlight, the endless Star Glory condensing into a Giant Blade thousands of meters long.
"Anna!"
Rod shouted, and Anna appeared beneath him.
"Go!"
Without needing Rod to guide the direction, Anna rushed toward the densest concentration of monsters.
The purple Mist Light carried Rod at an imperceptible speed into the Blood Tide.
"Hah!"
With a loud shout, the Giant Blade of Starlight traced an extremely long trajectory, cleaving the Blood Tide in two.
Behind, Mephit was enveloped in a cold light. She raised her hands high, releasing 15-level Spiritual Power Waves.
She was no longer who she used to be. A vast Snowstorm fell from the sky, crashing into the Blood Tide, freezing countless Flesh Puppets.
From a distance, a large swath of the Blood Tide was covered in frost.
