The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 268 - 190 Boom

Chapter 268: Chapter 190 Boom

Rod did not think too deeply. A vague but terrifying sense of tearing came from the depths of his soul, as if an unprecedentedly strong storm was on the horizon and his soul would be shredded in the midst of the tempest.

It was the sequelae of using "Awakening" an infinite number of times. The too frequent use of it had greatly hastened its arrival.

Rod felt that he was very likely going to die.

Indeed, using power beyond one’s limits too frequently could bring about severe backlash.

Hmm, I need to be more sparing with it in the future.

Rod immediately used "Awakening," and the Spiritual Energy that poured in from the Void replenished his depleted soul once again.

Haha.

If death is certain, might as well go crazy before I die and reap a few more souls.

After all, I have the "Resurrection Stone."

Not to wring its value dry would be a disservice to the great cost I incurred in making it.

Spiritual Energy surged through his body once again, and Rod immediately leapt up, shouting, "The battle is not yet won, everyone must push harder! I’ll go first, do as you please!"

Just as he was about to rush out, he was grabbed by Soron at the nape of the neck.

"What are you doing?"

Rod turned around and glared angrily.

"I’ve been warning you, I’ve put up with you for a long time now."

Soron raised an eyebrow, "Little fellow, are you hallucinating? What do you think you’re doing?"

"I’m going to fight! Haven’t you seen them fighting valiantly? You just stand here doing nothing, aren’t you ashamed?"

Soron chuckled coldly, "I never thought the day would come when the War God of Kosai would be looked down upon by you."

With a swish, he drew his long sword.

"Let’s do it then, who’s afraid? If you retreat in the midst of battle, I will chop you down with a single stroke!"

"Stop showing off, you creepy uncle, move aside, don’t hold me back from slaying demons."

"Shut up, you little pervert!"

"I pervert your grandma..."

The two bickered and rushed toward the front lines, joining the battle.

Chucher from Apple Town sighed, "What a loving mentor and student."

Qingyu hesitated, "Your words are so weird... are they always like this?"

Chucher hung his axe and hammer back on his back, took out a Soul Red Crystal, and stuffed it in his mouth, speaking vaguely, "I’m not sure, I’m just a guest theory instructor. Soron is the dean of the [Strong] standard class. But that youngster really is quite lecherous, always staring at the girls, and it seems he even has a thing with Teresa."

Qingyu’s cheeks blushed slightly, her expression a bit complex, as her slender hands unconsciously caressed the wrinkles at her chest.

Lily suddenly began to cry again, her big tears falling like beads off a string.

"Wu wu wu, the Dean is gone..."

The mood of the three of them sank once more.

Trolian has lost another towering pillar. He had been around for so long that it was hard to believe, so long that people couldn’t imagine what it would be like without him.

He had shielded humanity from countless storms, and this was the last time.

Qingyu said softly, "Don’t be sad, the Sun Festival is coming soon. You will be able to see the Dean’s star."

Chucher pounded his chest muscles forcefully, shouting loudly, "That’s right! Let’s show the Dean the fruits of our battle. That will be the greatest comfort to him."

These words deeply moved her, and Lily, while crying, stuffed a handful of Red Crystals into her mouth.

She couldn’t fit as many Red Crystals as Chucher into her cherry-like little mouth, but she still tried hard to stuff them in, her cheeks puffed up high. She bit down hard on the Red Crystals, swallowed them, and then charged toward the frontline.

Flames ignited on her, and although she could no longer use Chaos Fire, she was still capable of regular flame attacks.

Chucher scratched his head and took his weapons off his back once again.

"If little Wivy’s going in, I might as well!"

He turned and chased after Lily, joining the battle as well.

Chucher could not use his Characteristic Ability "Heavenly Power" either, so he didn’t charge into the horde of monsters like before, only fighting near Lily to ensure her safety.

On the other hand, Soron did the same. With exquisite skill, he blocked every danger that could have hurt Rod, while the latter kept pulling out an endless supply of Thunder Stones to wreak havoc in the ranks of the demons.

Qingyu had never seen someone throw an entire bag of Thunder Stones outward before.

The power was indeed extraordinary, blasting the demons into disarray; the Corrupted Serpentman feared thunder the most, and a bag of Thunder Stones could clear out a large number, even the Abnormal Demon couldn’t withstand such an explosion.

This was truly an unprecedented way of fighting.

Generally speaking, Thunder Stones were used by the new recruits of the City Defense Army, to assist in defense during battle.

By the time they reached the veteran stage, hardly anyone used Thunder Stones anymore.

It consumed too much Spiritual Energy.

Throw a few Thunder Stones, and your Spiritual Energy would be drained, not only rendering your Characteristic Abilities unusable but also making fighting problematic.

And to charge a whole bag of Thunder Stones simultaneously, you would have to be at least at the rank of Captain or above, but by that stage, their combat strength was already very strong, and using Thunder Stones was a complete waste of Spiritual Energy.

And this little fellow before her, his combat skills were still quite green, yet his Spiritual Energy was formidable (relatively speaking).

Probably only he was suited to this method of battle.

Qingyu unconsciously revealed a slight smile.

My future little husband, I am really looking forward to your growth, you must bring me unexpected surprises.

I will make good use of you.

She stood up and flew toward Jon in the sky, ready to report the results of the battle to him.

The Abyss Rift had been destroyed, the leader of the Abnormal Demon had been killed, and the disarray caused by the demons had been cleared, with only the remnants remaining in this world.

This strongest elite combat cluster in history was about to prepare a counterattack.

A brilliant light flickered in Qingyu’s eyes.

Humanity will surely be victorious.

Theodore, may your journey be peaceful.

——

Three clock hours later, the battle ended.

The elite humans, having obtained an overwhelming advantage, cleaned up all the remnants of the Abyss, and the Corrupted Serpentman were slaughtered, posing no threat.

Investigation Legion reported that the next wave would arrive in two days.

This was undoubtedly good news.

Two days’ time was enough to rebuild the defense system of Laisuo City.

Once the battle had essentially ended, Qingyu and Jon rekindled the extinguished Guardian Fire of Laisuo City.

Having the Characteristic of the Eternal Burning Fire, they could increase the Strength of the Guardian Fire more quickly, and the elite combat cluster had brought enough Fuel Element and Firewood before setting out.

Soon, the Guardian Fire of Laisuo City returned to its former Strength.

When the powerful light once again illuminated the city, cheers and the ’thud thud’ of shields being hit resounded through the sky.

This was undoubtedly a great Victory, completely reversing the Third Battle Zone’s downward spiral.

The warriors gathered in the damaged Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground, hugging, slapping, cheering, dancing around the Guardian Fire, celebrating the hard-won Victory.

In such a lively and bustling scene, only one person stood alone on the outside.

Mephit.

She had killed all the Long-nail Demons as Jon had ordered, but Jon had driven her out of the Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground.

"Stay outside on standby."

That was the only response she received.

No one celebrated with her or thanked her.

She stood alone amid the ruins of the city, her tall boots submerged in thick ashes, and the shadow of the broken walls gently embraced her.

She gazed at the warriors celebrating in the damaged Guardian Fire Sacrificial Ground, watching them laugh and talk about the risks of battle, wiping each other’s wounds, unaware that someone was sneaking up behind her.

"Wow! Caught you, Mephit!"

Rod hugged her slender waist in one fell swoop.

"My good partner, why didn’t you reply to my messages? I waited for you so hard, oh, you’ve lost weight, let me see if you’ve lost weight here too..."

Bang!
