The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 241 - 174 Rescue

Chapter 241: Chapter 174 Rescue

Rod felt as if he had fallen into a furnace, with magma eagerly pouring into his body, heating his soul to an unbearable degree.

When he came to his senses from the illusion, the skeleton in front of him had crumbled to dust.

And on the back of his hand, there were interwoven lines carved into his skin.

The various patterns overlapped each other, making it impossible for Rod to distinguish which part of the dream realm they belonged to.

This was a large Dream Fragment!

Rod reacted instantly, a rush of excitement flooding his heart.

It had been a long time since he had found a Dream Fragment. The chances were as slim as finding a needle in a haystack, and he had almost given up hope. To think that digging a grave would actually unearth a fragment!

New functions were about to be added to the Dream Realm.

Without hesitation, Rod immediately entered the Dream Realm.

The instant he opened his eyes, he saw countless Humanities and three Flowers of Humanity scattered beneath the Obelisk.

And the moment his foot touched the ground, the back of his hand began to heat up.

A star-shaped pattern lit up, its composing lines beginning to roil before quickly transforming into a beam of light that fell directly beneath him.

In the next moment, a pure white marble floor appeared on the pale ground, spreading from the Obelisk to the front of the cottage, forming a circular square with a radius of about two hundred steps.

[Star Square], observe the tracks of the stars, enhance the Obelisk, and resist the onslaught of the Spirit Realm.

Rod smiled.

Not bad.

Based on previous experience, if the Obelisk were damaged, he would most likely be done for, and not even the Resurrection Stone could save him.

But it wasn’t enough; he still needed some more useful things.

Rod quickly walked toward the cottage, and as expected, the regular heptadecagon on the back of his hand lit up, turning into a mist that entered the inside of the house.

However, the cottage remained unchanged, with only a Stone Platform, bookshelf, and rocking chair as its contents.

Approaching the bookshelf, Rod saw that it still only contained the Book of Knowledge and the Book of the Past. When he went to the Stone Platform, lit the candles on it, he then noticed the change.

Many new formulas had been added to the Stone Platform.

[Flesh Puppet]: Summon a Flesh Puppet to fight for you.

Requires one Wood Puppet, one piece of living flesh.

[Flesh Armor]: Cover your body with flesh to strengthen your defense against attacks.

Requires one Kales Magic Stone, one piece of living flesh.

[Soul Defense]: Block a blow that would have been fatal.

Requires 10,000 Souls Without Spirit, 100 pieces of Corrosive Material (highest grade).

[Kales’ Same Temperature Cannon]: A masterpiece created by Soul Master Kales, can only be used once.

Requires one Ghost Shell, one Sun Crystal, 10,000 Spirituality.

[Pioneer of Destruction]: Afflicted with the burning curse of destruction, unleash the inner potential of life, gaining immense strength until death.

Requires 80,000 Souls Without Spirit, 100 pieces of Black Fire Fuel (highest grade), 100 pieces of Corrosive Material (highest grade).

----

These five items, apart from the [Resurrection Stone], were the strongest items Rod had obtained. They were exactly what he urgently needed to significantly compensate for his shortcomings.

This [Kales’ Same Temperature Cannon] sounded formidable; there was nothing a cannon shot couldn’t solve.

If there was, then fire another shot.

[Pioneer of Destruction] was even more suited for him. Taking it at a critical moment to exterminate monsters, and then resurrect.

Simply perfect!

[Soul Defense] and [Flesh Armor] were also very useful for protecting him in times of crisis, while [Flesh Puppet] was a summon stronger than a Wood Puppet.

However, aside from the [Flesh Puppet], he lacked the materials for all other items.

He could only wait till he got back to see the Medicine Woman.

Rod let out a sigh, took out the piece of living flesh from the Storage, placed it along with a Wood Puppet on the Stone Platform, and proceeded to create a [Flesh Puppet] to test its strength.

The Stone Platform soon completed its work, and a lump of flesh, resembling a tumor, appeared before him.

It was about the size of a little finger, with flesh wriggling subtly on it, resembling a fleshy worm which was somewhat nauseating.

But Rod knew that by channeling Spiritual Energy into it, this thing would transform into a puppet that would fight for him.

He wondered how much stronger it would be compared to a Wood Puppet.

Rod left the cottage and went to the Soul Altar.

The altar was filled with souls, but most of them were very small, with only one slightly larger.

They mainly came from the low-level monsters killed when cleaning the sewers; besides sacrificing them or turning them into Soul Ashes, they weren’t much use.

As he approached the altar, a pupil-shaped pattern on the back of his hand predictably lit up.

It boiled up, turning into a cloud of black mist that flew to the altar.

When the mist dispersed, Rod noticed all the souls had disappeared from the altar.

Rod’s heart skipped a beat, but the next moment, he saw a Crystal Wall appear on the altar.

[Wall of Souls]

With Sealing Ability, it can preserve souls and items, preventing them from decomposing, being damaged, or corroded.

Using it on living beings will kill them, using it on monsters will seal them.

----

The Crystal Wall stood on the edge of the altar’s front side, curved into a semi-arc shape, more than two meters high, with all the souls having flown inside it.

As soon as Rod touched it lightly, their information appeared in his mind.

[Fog Demon Soul] 1, [Cursed Werewolf Soul] 11, [Black Death Beast Soul] 33, [Plague Rat Soul] 593, [Maggot Man’s Soul] 361, [Poison Insect Soul] 111, [Weak Soul] 186, [Soul Fragments] 577.

Not bad.

At least from now on, he wouldn’t need to count them.

Rod tested the sealing ability brought by it and found that it required continuous contact with the item to be sealed. Strange ice crystals would envelop the target until it was completely encased inside.
