The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 846 - 462: The Journey of Slaughter_2

To achieve maximum battle efficiency, the four Special Level Combatants and Archbishop Horus each led a team into battle.

The nine areas they needed to clear were bent and fragmented. If they pushed forward focusing power in one place, the combat disruption could be too great, possibly lowering efficiency.

Split combat was the best choice.

The internal space of Starry Sky City was vast, and the monsters weren’t as dense as imagined. Many places were empty, with only one or two Fallen wandering in large decayed areas.

But in some places, there were a large number of monsters, and even monster lairs.

Rod followed along with Moonlight Knight Olivia, bypassing several monster lairs and gathering points, and arrived at a huge semicircular plaza.

The plaza was badly broken, and there was a large pit in the middle.

Several knights in purple armor roamed about, Olivia raised her right hand, a blue water wave swept over the delicate female knight armor, pure light radiating from her fingertips, shining on the knights clad in purple.

In just a blink, they turned to ashes; their armor clanged to the ground.

"Alright."

Olivia swung her pure blue hair, her clear, water-like eyes sweeping the crowd, she said lightly.

"Use this point as the center, clear all monsters within twelve-thousand yards."

"I hope I’m the fastest among the four Special Level combatants."

"Soron!"

"Here I am!" The healed Soron leapt and knelt before Olivia, "My goddess, please command."

"Light the Residual Fire here, and you’re in charge of guarding it, guiding the nearby warriors."

"Yes!"

Soron didn’t hesitate, he jumped to the center of the plaza, placed several wooden logs like Firewood on the ground, sprinkled some Fuel Element, and carefully guarded a bit of a spark taken from his pocket, placing it on the Firewood and Fuel Element.

The spark instantly turned into a blazing bonfire.

Due to the Bright Festival, the Residual Fire’s power was shocking, its mighty fire swept across the plaza, dispersing the black dust to the outside.

Nearby, several monsters were alarmed by the firelight, but before they could approach the Residual Fire, Olivia’s moonlight had already turned them to ashes.

Soron cheerfully dug up monster ashes from the debris, and after simple treatment, mixed them into the Fuel Element.

"My goddess’s spiritual energy is boundless, moonlight infinite, illuminating my heart!"

Rod noticed a few in the group had reddened faces, if it wasn’t for Olivia’s status as a Special Level Combatant, they might have laughed aloud.

But Soron seemed oblivious, his eyes only rested on Olivia.

Rod had long known Soron was the Guard Knight Captain of Moonlight Knight Olivia and greatly admired his superior.

The only thing he couldn’t understand was why, after obtaining the goddess’ bathing photo, would he give it to Rod himself?

This was incomprehensible behavior, if it were Rod, not to mention his object of admiration, even of disdain, the nude image would only be for him alone to enjoy, never anyone else.

Olivia was also used to Soron’s attitude; she casually divided everyone into teams, with a flash of her figure, she transformed into a radiant moonlight, breaking into the sky.

Only when Olivia disappeared from sight did Soron retract his gaze, and suddenly transformed, shouting: "Rod, kill with all your might, do not shame Lady Olivia!"

Rod shrugged his shoulders and casually replied, "Got it, Soron teacher."

Suddenly, a spiritual communication whispered by his ear, "Rod, if you do well, I also have a recording crystal for you, a home version."

Rod looked at Soron speechlessly.

Soron even secretly winked at him, hinting with the corner of his mouth that this recording crystal belonged to the distant Olivia.

Suddenly, Rod found Soron’s boot-licking behavior less bothersome.

Covering his face, he quickly walked away pretending not to hear, it wasn’t just disgraceful but also dangerous, Special Level combatants could intercept spiritual communications.

Soon after, everyone exchanged a few words briefly and quickly began combat.

Though the initial battle cleanup wasn’t overly tense, time was limited. The sooner they could enter the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, the better their odds.

The twelve-thousand-yard range was quite large, with only forty people following Olivia, sparsely scattered in this area, barely a shadow to be seen.

Present were all First Level Combatants, divided into several small teams, but mostly fighting individually or in pairs or trios.

Rod took Mephit with him, following the direction recommended by the Book of Knowledge, choosing a path with relatively more divinity.

Mephit’s arrival was the biggest surprise to Rod. In his impression, Mephit’s spiritual energy was only about Eight to Ninth Level, theoretically similar to Third Level combatants, far beneath him, yet the Silver Oath chose her to represent them in the Starry Sky City battle.

"Mephit, long time no see, how is the Black Battle Group?"

Since Rod began preparing for the Starry Sky City battle, he hadn’t fought with his group for at least thirty or forty days.

Mephit remained aloof and calm, her curse evidently adjusted to its optimal state, her silver-white eyes, silver-white hair, icy skin, and stunning beauty were Rod’s favorite sight.

"Molly has developed Star Town well, the Royal City plans to promote her to Chief Consul, Anna keeps training hard, but her characteristic level remains only at five; Kashan hasn’t awoken from a coma, her soul is overly exhausted."

Rod nodded, "And you?"

"I’m fine, no new Soul Trait Blocks, the Cold Ice attribute level is still 8, mental control and Dark Soul remain unchanged."

"I am now a Guardian."

"I know."

"I’ve ignited eleven Fire Sparks, my spiritual power level has also reached Eleventh Level, I don’t know why they sent you here, but later, just watch me fight; the Cold Ice can be used or not, ensure your own safety, the interior of Starry Sky City is extremely dangerous, but with me here."

"Okay."

Rod surpassed the damaged street and saw wandering Star Knights in a collapsed arena, upon seeing the black helmets and purple armor, he knew they were senior knights of the Star Knight Order.

"Watch closely! Mephit, I’m no longer what I used to be!"

Rod flew up, glaring fiercely.

The Black Knight charged, its speed extremely alarming, it drew its long sword with a swift and smooth motion, after thousands of years the long sword still gleamed coldly, powerful spiritual power waves burst, at least Twelfth Level.

As the sword edge struck like electric lightning, Rod merely pocketed his hands and took the hit with his face.

Bang!

The sword tip pressed against Rod’s skin, unable to penetrate an inch.

A powerful spiritual defense unfolded on his face, forcefully resisting the sword edge, the impact of spiritual forces emitted a muffled sound like a clap of thunder in mid-air.

Eleventh Level spiritual defense stopped Twelfth Level spiritual attacks, showing Rod’s high degree of mastery in spiritual energy, far exceeding the monster’s crude and wild use—even though it was a Fallen born from corrupted human strength.

Simultaneously, a phantom appeared behind the Black Knight, a forceful blow to its lower back, powerful impact pierced through the armor, instantly breaching the Black Knight’s spiritual protective barrier, forcing it to its knees.

As the Black Knight tried to turn and counterattack, Rod’s right hand had already plunged into it.

Bang!

Another muffled sound emanated from the void, Rod withdrew his translucent right hand, the Black Knight had fallen.

[Great Soul]

Black dust rose, leaving only the armor.

Haha!

The "Strong Wind Phantom" at 100% complete resonance was truly useful, and far stronger than before.

Monsters of strong level super rank below Third Level posed no threat to him.

Rod looked up, opposite the arena was a large residential area, the residents’ homes were mostly collapsed or half-collapsed, damaged bricks and ruins were everywhere.

And on its streets, numerous Black Knights roamed.

Rod smiled joyfully.

His journey of slaughter was about to begin.
