Chapter 346: Chapter 244: The Void Rages Again

The next day.

Rod had cleared out all of his inventory.

He summoned about five hundred Wood Puppets and over forty Flesh Puppets, forming a Puppet Legion.

As this mighty army marched towards Star Town, everyone was stunned.

"Commander, where did you get so many constructs?"

Rod no longer wanted to exhaust himself explaining these matters, simply replying, "They were gifts from Lord Theodore."

Captains O’Hara and Conrad exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Theodore?"

Beowood frowned and said, "Lord Theodore hasn’t appeared for a long time, and Royal City says he is unwell and recuperating."

Molly was somewhat skeptical and whispered in his ear, "Is that true?"

"Of course."

"Does Lord Theodore create constructs?"

Rod glanced at her, "How dare you doubt that the great Lord Theodore is useless?"

"No, of course not..."

"Spell Talent is a characteristic of miracles; there’s nothing it can’t do."

This explanation just barely sealed Molly’s lips.

Avie quietly said from the side, "Lord Rod, you better come up with some concrete evidence quickly, lest the opposition uses these lapses to attack you."

Rod laughed, "Let them jump, I am humanity’s rising star."

Avie wanted to say more, but Rod sidestepped and ran over to Mephit, whispering, "Mephit, get me as much Puppet Wood and living Spirituality as you can, the more the better."

Mephit’s silver-white eyes looked at him blankly and asked, "Did you make these with Puppet Wood?"

Rod laughed, "That’s right, now you must believe that I’m not some perverse creep, right?"

Mephit was silent for a few seconds, then coldly said, "Could you remove your hand?"

"Uh, the wind is too strong; my hand is a bit out of control."

Mephit silently moved a little farther from him, keeping her distance from everyone.

Since arriving at the Underground City, aside from fighting, she had been mostly solitary, shutting herself in her room to rest, never mingling with anyone. Even Rod would be driven away after speaking just a few words to her.

Gradually, not many people paid attention to her anymore.

Rod scratched his head, originally wanting to get closer to her, but seeing no chance, he gave up.

Molly quietly watched all this, her eyes brimming with coldness.

The distance of thirteen thousand yards from the Underground City to Star Town was cleared, and it took them several moments to reach the battlefield. Star Town here was near the center, incredibly vast. In sight, ancient streets and houses crisscrossed and stretched endlessly.

Countless giants and soulless skeletons roamed in the Black Fog.

Today’s clearing task was extremely arduous.

But today’s team was extraordinary.

At Rod’s command, more than five hundred Wood Puppets and Flesh Puppets intertwined, the Wood Puppets spreading into countless withered branches to envelop the core Flesh Puppets, forming an immensely large Puppet Giant.

It stood over one hundred yards tall and forty yards wide, towering over the ancient town like a crane among chickens, with no building reaching the height of its thighs.

Everyone was stunned again.

Beowood’s eyes were about to pop out as he exclaimed in shock, "A giant... construct? Isn’t that a Strategic Level weapon? Even Lord Theodore doesn’t have the authority to use it freely, does he?"

But immediately someone in the group retorted, "Lord Theodore is a legend of humanity; how could he possibly lack the authority?"

Reslin, Egger, Karamon, Anna, and others drooled with envy.

"Rod actually has a Strategic Level weapon..."

In the distance, Mephit gazed at the huge Puppet, divine light swirling in her silver-white eyes, revealing a peculiar expression.

Rod laughed, "Everyone, charge."

With a wave of his hand, the Puppet Giant leaped with a bound into the midst of the Black Fog.

With a thunderous boom, it crushed a giant underfoot.

With a punch, the sturdy soulless skeleton was completely shattered, shell and core alike.

Two streaks of black line darted towards it.

Soul Without Spirit +2498.

More monsters surged towards it, but the Puppet Giant feared nothing, stomping and punching; the Fierce Level monsters that seemed so hard to deal with for the average person didn’t survive a single blow from the giant.

More black lines flew over, and the Soul Without Spirit soared once again.

Rod was very amused.

This thing was indeed strong; the only drawback was that it consumed a vast amount of Spiritual Energy and used up even more when attacking or being attacked.

With Rod’s current total Spiritual Energy, it could last about a quarter of an hour before it was depleted.

However, he was already prepared to use Void’s Fury.

If the Book of Knowledge didn’t know whether it had any repercussions, then there were none.

I’ll exhaust my Spiritual Energy, use the Puppet Giant to clear a wave of monsters, then use Void’s Fury to blast another wave of monsters.

Won’t Star Town be nearly cleared?

Can’t the miners come to work then?

Ha ha ha.

Rod shouted, "Everyone quick, follow behind the Puppet Giant, and hide behind it if you’re in danger."

The three captains looked at each other, raised their arms, and bellowed, "Warriors! Charge! The moment to restore human glory has arrived!"

All were spirited and thrilled; nothing was more satisfying than slaughtering monsters and reclaiming territory once held by humans.

With a peerless war machine like the Puppet Giant, the speed of the advance greatly increased.

The Puppet Giant led the charge at the forefront, battling amidst the torrent of monsters.

Its body, woven from countless branches, was not only incredibly resilient but could also regenerate rapidly, rendering the heavy smashes of giants and the slices of soulless skeletons ineffective.
