Chapter 333: Chapter 234: The Outrageous Commander_2

"This is the item I applied to create with the Sun Crystal."

"It also cost me ten thousand silver coins and a full ten thousand units of Spirituality."

Rod held the sphere high with both hands and, using the method taught by the Book of Knowledge, activated the internal switch.

"Now, witness its power!"

Boom!

A massive fireball rose from the ground, deeply shaking the earth, its bright light piercing through the Black Fog, almost illuminating half of the sky.

The Black Fog became nearly invisible, like a thin veil under the noonday sun.

Almost all the warriors on a mission witnessed this intense explosion.

When the light faded, and the dense Black Fog obscured the view again, the warriors snapped out of their trance, realizing that the Commander must have used some kind of weapon of mass destruction to eliminate the monsters.

They cheered loudly, more passionately hunting monsters and clearing the area.

Outside Star Town.

The violent explosion created a huge pit at least two hundred yards across, with only the spot where Rod stood left unscathed.

This was the only dead angle for the Kales’ Same Temperature Cannon.

The Book of Knowledge told him that with his current level of Spiritual Energy, this was the only way he could detonate this item.

The exceedingly expensive creation did not disappoint him.

There was not a single living monster left on the scene, only over one hundred and fifty piles of ashes.

Rod raised his hands high, and over one hundred and fifty black lines flew in from all directions, merging into his body.

Soul Without Spirit +186100

Rod looked satisfied at the number, just one powerful soul away, and "Divine Sense" would be full.

A translucent mist spread from Rod’s body, covering his skin, a small clump of mist rising from the top of his head as a cold voice emanated from within.

"You have such a powerful explosive weapon... why didn’t you report it to the Royal City in advance?"

Even though he couldn’t see her expressions, Rod felt her tone was very complex.

"About that..."

Rod scratched the back of his head, thought for a moment, and decided to pin it on Theodore.

"Lord Theodore asked me not to reveal it."

Molly did not question further, her voice also returned to its usual calm and undisturbed state.

"Commander, I am your aide, you should at least inform me of the battle plan."

"Sorry, I forgot."

"I hope you can remember next time."

The mist rose higher, making a circle.

"All the giant monsters are dead, and such a vast noise has not attracted new monsters, proving that this area has been completely cleared."

"That’s good news; we have another temporary Safe Zone outside our stronghold."

"With so much Monster Ash, we can produce quite a lot of Blood Element and Fuel Element, which will relieve some of the material pressure."

"This was a very successful operation."

"However."

Molly’s tone shifted, becoming serious.

"This is still a very risky action, such intense noise might attract even stronger monsters, leading to the complete failure of the operation."

Rod smiled and said, "Don’t worry, it won’t."

Molly’s tone became stern, "Why won’t it? The dangers lurking in the darkness are unimaginable..."

"I saw it, after all, I am a complete Spiritual Visionary."

Molly was silent for a few seconds before saying, "A complete Spiritual Visionary can also be limited by physical obstructions..."

Rod said with a smile, "My ability to see through is very strong, physical obstructions under thirty yards can’t block my view, I carefully observed before throwing the Thunder Stone, and there were only giant monsters here."

Fortunately, at this moment, a Spirit Raven flew by, easing the awkward atmosphere.

It landed in front of Rod, dissolving into specks of white light while vibrating the air and making a sound.

"Commander, what has happened? Do you need assistance? Is anyone injured? Do we need to retreat or change tactics? Captain Orha."

Molly said, "Everything is normal, our side has wiped out an area of monsters, please send collectors to gather the Monster Ash and further clear the area, Commander Rod."

Having said that, a Spirit Raven emerged from the mist and flew off into the distance.

In the following period, Molly hung around Rod, continuously communicating with various squads through the Spirit Ravens.

Rod stepped into the ancient town.

An unusually serene feeling hit him, the buildings in Star Town weren’t densely packed, but they were arranged with an artistic sense, the structures of varying sizes were scattered in an orderly fashion, and gray stone paths led in all directions.

Rod saw a copper lamp locked inside an iron window of a house.

The old appearance made it look as though it had been placed there for decades, but the pitch-black wick indicated it had been extinguished for at least one thousand five hundred years.

Looking up, he saw a standing stone slab.

Written on it in the language of the stars was, "The House of the Great Grey Wolf," next to it was a tavern-style building.

On the other side, a small hut bore the sign: "Bigby’s Ink Shop."

A sense of historical vicissitudes hit him.

Rod tried walking in, but everything inside except for the stones had decayed.

Molly took the opportunity to explain:

"Relics like this, directly exposed to the Black Fog, typically yield few valuable finds—they are either decayed or have been destroyed by monsters."

"But there are exceptions."

"Some rare items are usually well preserved, and we might not only find precious materials but also discover some powerful items and weapons."

"They are the most valuable relics, and the Mechanical Research Institute can obtain many technologies and knowledge lost with the downfall of humanity through them, such as our Spiritual Energy matrix panels, Soul Trait detection instruments, and other technology," she continued.

"Historians can also learn about the history of the past era through them."

"This is very significant for us to study the patterns of the Black Fog, find its source, avoid the onset of disasters, and prevent repeating the tragic destruction suffered by our predecessors."

Curiously, Rod asked, "Then why haven’t any scholars or researchers come with us?"

"Because no one believes we can succeed, at least not that we can succeed quickly."

Rod laughed, "Then shouldn’t you hurry to report back to the Royal City and really show them up?"

Molly replied coolly, "Commander, please don’t focus on irrelevant matters."

Just then, another spirit crow flew in and disintegrated before their eyes.

A young voice shouted:

"Team Seven, we have wounded a giant monster, its Spiritual Energy is about to falter, from the Underground City as the origin, position coordinates 328, 22, 3336."

Molly immediately urged, "It’s to the southwest, hurry!"

At the same time, she replied, "Received, please wait!"

Rod broke into a run, and under Molly’s direction, he quickly arrived at a rocky forest at the southeastern corner of Star Town.

Four team members were engaged in a struggle with a giant monster.

In terms of speed, strength, and even agility, they were no match for the monster.

But their teamwork was impeccably coordinated; whenever the monster chased any one of them, the other three would attack from behind and from the flanks.

As soon as the monster turned its head, the three would quickly scatter, and the attack from behind came as scheduled.

The monster, under their siege, moved erratically and swung its massive club with a whoosh, failing to even touch a corner of their clothes.

Its Spiritual Energy gradually weakened, its flow slowed, and some critical attack points started showing flaws.

When Rod arrived, this was the scene he witnessed.

Without any hesitation, he darted behind the creature and delivered a powerful Soul Blast from behind.

Boom.

The blast of the soul always sounded so pleasing.

Soul Without Spirit +1207

Not bad.

Rod withdrew his hand, revealing a smile.

The four team members were astonished; the monster they had been painstakingly fighting for one-third of a clock hour, expecting another one-third clock hour to kill, was abruptly slain by the commander with a single strike?

Before they could recover from their shock, another spirit crow arrived.

"Team Twelve, a giant monster is near death, location coordinates 1368, 172, 3136, please, Commander, hasten."

"Received, please wait!"

Rod only had time to wave at them before turning and sprinting away.

In just a few seconds, his figure vanished behind the dense Black Fog.

The four team members looked at each other.

Only then did they realize that their commander was far more extraordinary than they had imagined.
