The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1581 - 748: Holy Fire Fusion_3

Rod laughed, "Book, you’re finally smart for once."

With a press of his hands, he sent the King Artifact back into the Dream Realm using the Dream Ritual.

After that, Rod did not linger, despite knowing that many useful resources must still be left in the Saint Rel Royal City. However, he could not suppress his longing to return, eager to share the bountiful harvest with everyone in the Royal City.

Moreover, the most important thing at the moment was to quickly merge the Holy Fire Seed, heal the King’s wounds.

Rod immediately boarded the Spirit Boat, rushing toward the Royal City at the fastest speed possible.

From the Saint Rel Royal City to the Trolian Royal City, the direct distance exceeded 8,000 kilometers, yet Rod returned in less than half a day, flying straight over the Black Fog Wall without even passing through the Great Dragon City.

When he returned to the Royal City, it was exactly noon on the second day, just one full day after his departure.

Rod instantly activated Spiritual Communication, informing every high-ranking official in Trolian of his return.

Thus, when he stepped into the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, all the Fire Sons and Special Level Combatants in the Royal City, all the high-ranking officials, gathered together.

Bossivale rushed up first, anxiously asking, "Master Rod, did you go to the Saint Rel Royal City? Did you meet His Holiness the Pope?"

Evela followed closely behind, noticing instantly the damage on his clothes and the battle scars all over: "Did you fight with His Holiness the Pope? Truly worthy of our Invincible War God, to escape from the True King’s grasp."

Dalin asked in a deep voice, "What’s the situation at the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground of Saint Rel? Do we have the confidence for a crusade? The weather hasn’t been favorable recently, increasing defense pressure. I’ve had to reinforce some Special Level Combatants to the four major cities, patrol strength around the Black Fog Wall has also needed enhancing due to abnormal activity."

Rod smiled faintly and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

And he took out the Holy Fire Seed, placing it before everyone.

"The Holy Fire Seed of Saint Rel, I’ve brought it back."

In the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, it remained quiet for at least half a minute, not a single person speaking, one could even hear the fall of a pin.

Everyone fixed their gaze on the Holy Fire Seed in Rod’s hand, wishing they could pop their eyeballs out, many stood with mouths agape, unaware of the drool dripping onto the ground.

"A miracle!"

Luo Weiya was the first to react, yelling.

"This is a fire miracle! Rod is the avatar of the Fire Will, he descended from the Fire Heaven to relight this dark world! Long live humanity! Long live the Light of Fire! We shall rise from decay, resurrect from ruins, from insignificance to greatness! Salute to the great Fire Will!"

With a crisp sound, Luo Weiya stood straight, deeply bowing to Rod.

This action surprisingly brought many followers, making Rod amused and bemused.

He had to detail the ordeal, explaining that it wasn’t purely his merit, nor could he defeat a Fallen True King, the Pope intentionally went a little easy.

Bossivale and Evela clung to Rod, repeatedly asking about every detail, including each word spoken by the Pope.

Rod had to elaborate even further, satisfying everyone’s ravenous curiosity before they calmed down and regained rationality.

Bossivale cried, "His Holiness the Pope... did so much, I’m useless, failing to bring back more compatriots, Mod the enemy, Lord Takxis sacrificed as well."

Evela also wiped her tears, chokingly said, "Master Rod, thank you, thank you for allowing His Holiness peace before departure, I truly don’t know how to thank you... Lord Horus, does Trolian have the custom of dual Fire Companions? I wish to express my gratitude in this way."

Rod and Horus found themselves extremely embarrassed, this custom naturally doesn’t exist, yet there wasn’t a prohibition either. In fact, Trolian, like Saint Rel, is extremely devoted to the strong, Qingyu once had hundreds of candidate king consorts for this reason, only now it’s reversed.

Qingyu blinked and smiled, "As long as little Rod agrees, I have no objection."

Horus’s face darkened, "No, you are all King Candidates, no matter how strong Rod is, he cannot be reversed with you."

Rod coughed once, interrupting this awkward topic.

"Let’s first merge the Holy Fire Seed," he said.

Everyone then realized that to merge the Holy Fire, heal the King, was currently the most crucial task.

They hastily made way, allowing Rod to approach the Holy Fire.

Horus summoned all the Fire Priests, preparing to conduct the Holy Fire Seed Fusion Ceremony.
