The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 248 - 178: The Beginning of the Legend

Chapter 248: Chapter 178: The Beginning of the Legend

The giant undead was suddenly awoken and let out an agonizing wail, the enormous sound echoing through this unique space like a tsunami.

The earth trembled, the abyss trembled, the darkness trembled, and the giant undead struggled to rise, but the immense brilliance pressed down on it like a mountain, firmly pinning it to the ground.

Piercing, maddening screams continued incessantly from the bottom of the abyss, and a great amount of black air rose from the giant undead but was quickly dissolved by the light.

In Rod’s eyes, its vast spiritual energy was rapidly draining. When a void in spiritual energy appeared, a flaw in its soul followed.

The flaw was fleeting, but Rod still seized it and would not miss any chance to strike.

This had become his instinct.

His translucent right hand plunged straight into the void of its soul, shattering its foundational structure.

This was "Soul Blast."

The most powerful skill bestowed on him by the Soul Altar.

The moment Rod withdrew his hand, the enormous soul began to disintegrate, converting the black air enveloping it into snowflakes beside fierce flames and the huge bones evaporated into countless black dust particles, disappearing into the air in an instant.

"Soul of the Abyss Giant Troll"

Soul Without Spirit +2000

Soul Without Spirit: 93222

Rod immediately noticed that this was another soul with a "Source."

It seemed that such special, extremely powerful monsters all possessed a "Source."

But if one thought about it in reverse, monsters with a "Source" were definitely more likely to become formidable, which was not particularly surprising.

With three "Source" pieces gathered, he could now ignite a predetermined star.

Joy surged in Rod’s heart.

With "Divine Sense" and "Spirit Elegy", he might be able to ascend soon.

After all, the star had been selected by the Book of Knowledge, which he had spent a hundred pieces of Red Jade on, so it was definitely much better than anything he could have chosen blindly.

In the strange roaring noise, the black dust scattered across the sky, and the Dean ceased the illumination and descended, finding monster ash in the thick ashes.

"The demon supporting the existence of the Abyss Rift has died, why hasn’t the rift collapsed?"

His tone carried a hint of confusion, and from his magic wand a small sphere appeared. Several beams shot out from the surface of the sphere, sweeping around the abyss as if searching for something.

Rod also hurriedly opened his Eye of the Soul, looking for vulnerabilities.

Soon, he discovered a suspicious place in this dark and silent space.

"Dean, here! I see strange twisted patterns on this large stone."

All beams instantly focused on that stone.

It looked ordinary, not distinguishable from other scattered stones in the barren field.

Theodore flicked his fingers, and a giant sword emitting a blue glow suddenly appeared, slashing down in midair.

With a clang, the giant sword split into two pieces, dissipating into the air, while the stone remained immovable.

Theodore approached and observed carefully for a long time before identifying the problem.

"This is a Twisted Stone, the Abyss Rift here is nearing a larger rift in the outer layers of space, becoming its accessory, with the larger rift supporting its existence."

Rod exclaimed happily, "Doesn’t that mean there’s another Abyss Giant Troll?"

Theodore’s expression turned grave, and he spoke solemnly, "Their presences in the Material World are so close, the demon supporting the larger rift could very well be the Abyss Giant Snake Premus that destroyed Laisuo City."

"It’s likely hiding in the giant rift, recovering from injuries."

An incredible tide of surprise welled up from within, but Rod suppressed his excitement, speaking in a calm voice, "Dean, let’s quickly gather our forces and eliminate this culprit."

However, Theodore merely shook his head lightly.

"There’s no time. The Twisted Stone is dissolving, and the giant snake is sensing the danger and severing the link between the rifts."

Rod exclaimed in alarm, "Then what do we do?"

"We go now. Once it disconnects, it will be difficult to track down the giant snake again. We have yet to discover the entrance to the abyssal rift it inhabits, this is a rare opportunity. The snake has already been injured by me and the spell-casting guards, it might be possible to eliminate it completely."

Theodore carefully tucked his long white beard into his belt, his wide magic robe lit up with various spiritual lights, and as Rod saw strong spiritual energy emanating and sinking into the Dean’s towering figure,

his slightly weary spiritual energy was reinvigorated.

"Kashan, thank you,"

the Dean whispered in an extremely soft voice, but it was still heard by Rod.

Kashan?

That little girl probably couldn’t even defeat one of my fingers now, so why thank her?

Rod looked at the Dean quizzically as he raised his magic wand and placed it on the stone.

"Rod, you might be crucial in a moment. The giant snake has the trait of being undead, making it extremely difficult to kill, but you might be able to do this."

Rod immediately brushed aside thoughts of Kashan and patted his chest, saying, "Rest assured, Dean, I definitely won’t miss any chance to kill the monster."

Theodore showed a benevolent smile, his azure eyes filled with gleaming anticipation.

"Perhaps, you truly will become the next morning star of Trolian."

Strange twisting lines flashed from the wand, wrapping around the two of them and pulling them into the giant stone.

A strong sense of inversion came, as the concept of sky and earth seemed to continuously shift, and Rod felt as if he was tumbling inside a washing machine.
