The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1520 - 722: Destiny of Destruction (Part 4)
Archer revealed a cold smile and gently threw the needle out.
Destruction’s Needle instantly traveled far, disappearing into the darkness.
Looking at the boundless darkness, Archer arrogantly sighed.
"It’s all over."
"This millennia-long struggle and resistance finally ended in failure. Pathetic humans, you are destined to bow to the darkness because this is fate, this is the ordained path, inviolable, unopposable."
——
Great Dragon City.
Under the influence of the Great Spiritual Tide, humans fought more bravely.
Though monsters outnumbered them by tens of thousands, they still held their ground firmly.
On this vast battlefield, countless battles were underway, but the most important was undoubtedly Rod and the Fallen Takxis’s battle.
As the only strong Monarch in Trolian, only he could withstand this powerful King Level Monster. If he were to lose, everything would collapse. If he were to win, support by a powerful monarch would bring significant advantage.
Mere moments ago, they didn’t dare to think of this, only hoping that Rod wouldn’t be defeated.
But moments later, Rod gradually gained the upper hand. Under the influence of [Destroying Darkness], the Soul of Fallen Takxis gradually broke down, its Spiritual Energy frequently became chaotic, its defense significantly weakened, Rod’s attacks could cause greater damage and be harder to recover from.
More importantly, Anna joined the battle.
Though her Spiritual Energy was vastly different from that of the Fallen Takxis, her Spirit Spear could still forcefully cause half a second of paralysis.
The Fallen Takxis, with a broken Soul, was forced into paralysis, further falling into disadvantage.
Rod was already preparing for an all-out strike. Spirit’s Omen swayed within his body, now only enough for Rod to make a single strike.
But just this one strike was enough.
And this was exactly what the Book of the Future suggested.
In battles of this caliber, Anna’s name didn’t even appear in Rod’s mind, although he knew her forced paralysis was powerful and that her Spirit Spear was certain to hit. However, in battles with powerful monsters, things weren’t as ideal as imagined, and they could directly destroy Anna’s spear, rendering her ability ineffective.
Since this combat method failed, Rod hadn’t considered Anna again, treating her simply as a mount.
But the Book of the Future suddenly told him, "Anna will play a significant role in your battle with the Fallen Takxis."
With some doubt, Rod allowed Anna to join the battle.
Sure enough, the Fallen Takxis ignored the Spirit Spear, whether it came from any direction, it was indifferent.
"It’s me!"
The Book of the Future exclaimed excitedly.
"I altered fate, affecting the instincts of the monsters; it doesn’t perceive this as a threat."
Rod was surprised, "You have this ability?"
The Book of the Future replied discontentedly, "Of course I have this ability. During the time of the Book of Destiny, I not only predicted fate but controlled it. The destiny I wrote down always came true. Now I’ve only partially regained a fraction of my former control."
"Then can you just write the Blood God’s death?"
The Book of the Future almost jumped, "Impossible, a destiny far beyond one’s control will cause a huge backlash. I would explode. Long ago, that fool Asa had me influence the master’s destiny, causing me to explode every day, yet he foolishly remained unrepentant."
"Alright."
Rod exhaled, already deciding to provide more Power of Destiny to the Book of the Future, hoping it could eventually fully regain its control over fate, reaching the point of "writing the Black Fog’s disappearance, and it disappearing".
Perhaps this is the reason the Giant Clan crazily pursued the Power of Destiny.
After battling for a while longer, the Fallen Takxis’s Soul visibly deteriorated, its movements became slow and rigid, posing no threat to Rod.
"It’s time."
Rod thought.
Gathering Spiritual Energy, Spirit’s Omen vibrated within his Soul, striving to expand his Spiritual Energy.
The air began to tremble, Spirit’s Omen wailed within the Soul, and a Spiritual Power Wave exceeding ten thousand swept forth.
Rod stepped forward, and shouted.
"Anna!"
"Here I go!"
A spear shot from behind, striking the Fallen Takxis, causing it to visibly pause for half a second.
At the same time, Rod struck it with all his concentrated strength.
A scorching flash grazed across its Soul.
[Divine Strike]
With Spiritual Power Strength exceeding ten thousand and complete Spiritual Energy conversion efficiency, the power of this strike penetrated the firmament.
Spirit’s Omen shattered instantly, unable to be used again.
But before him, the Fallen Takxis also was pierced through, with a gaping hole in both its Soul and body.
"Rest in peace, Takxis."
Rod said calmly, his right hand flashed with light, reaching into its Soul vulnerability.
Bang!
Accompanied by a muffled sound as if from the Void, the Fallen Takxis crashed down, disintegrating into a mass of shattered flesh.
Black dust rose into the air, and its twisted and ferocious head became peaceful, lying quietly on the ground, the once mighty Takxis appeared to be asleep.
From the scattering Soul, Rod faintly heard a voice.
"Thank you, Rod."
It vanished in an instant, like an illusion.
A wisp of gray energy seeped into his chest.
[Soul of the Fallen Takxis]
[Powerful King Soul]
[The Soul of a powerful human monarch, tormented after corruption, now finally at peace.]
Rod looked at this Soul, genuinely feeling joy.
In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge felt puzzled: "This monster is very special; it’s the only Flesh Puppet with a Soul, I understand, but what about its Strong Source?"
The Book of the Future guessed, "Perhaps absorbed by the God of Contaminated Blood?"
The Book of Knowledge fell into thought.
On the battlefield, with Takxis’s downfall, cheers erupted from all around.
Especially the warriors formerly from Saint Reel; they shouted Rod’s name hoarsely, despite their voices breaking.
Evela’s tears flowed: "So good, so good..."
Bossivale sighed: "Takxis, please rest in peace, may we see each other in heaven of fire."
Jon joyfully said: "You did it, brother Rod!"
There is no doubt that defeating such a formidable adversary greatly changed the battlefield’s situation.
One might even say humanity achieved a huge advantage.
"We won!" someone already shouted.
At this moment, Rod suddenly felt a chill, his keen senses pierced into his bones like an icy needle,
Just as he was about to ask the Book of the Future, it suddenly jumped up.
"Misfortune! Calamity! Ruin!"
"My god, what is this... the destiny of destruction is coming!"
