The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 364 - 255: The Fate of Humanity

Chapter 364: Chapter 255: The Fate of Humanity

Star Town, the significantly damaged area, now boasted a new large-scale combatant training facility.

Molly hired a High Rank producer who could change the form of matter; hard stones became as malleable as putty in his hands, shaped into the desired structures, and then solidified to complete a large building.

The total cost was six hundred thousand silver coins, and the construction was completed within two days.

The High Rank producer only charged ten thousand silver coins for his salary, the remaining five hundred ninety thousand were spent on materials and potions for reinforcing the structure.

As long as the money was sufficient, the speed was truly miraculous... Rod thought to himself, marveling at the swift construction as he walked into the hall.

The battle facility was used for combatants’ training, practice, and rest; it was a comprehensive venue.

From afar, the hall was filled with training individuals who honed their skills through sparring, simulated real battle scenarios with props, improved their Spiritual Energy through instruments, potions, and meditation, and ignited their Fire Spark and enhanced their characteristics with special potions.

In an official settlement, such facilities were essential; otherwise, the combatants’ abilities would not only stagnate but could also decline.

Rod, now not short of money, and the Royal City’s equipment logistics and arms departments were in their honeymoon phase with him, naturally, were not in want.

Upon entering, Rod immediately saw Anna in Centaur State sprinting on a long treadmill; her agile figure instantly brought back memories of that day’s scene.

He flipped onto Anna’s back and yelled, "Giddy up! Run, horse, run!"

Anna was so irritated she nearly fell off the treadmill.

"Get off me, I’m not a horse."

"A Centaur isn’t a horse?"

Anna’s face turned red with rage as she tried to throw Rod off with a buck.

But having experienced such jolting before, Rod instinctively held on tight to her.

"Hehe, not bad with my technique, huh?"

"Let go!"

"No."

"Let go..." Anna’s voice weakened, subdued, "there are people here."

Rod was slightly surprised, only noticing now that his grip was on her upper body, and he quickly let go.

Anna also dissolved her Awakened State, returning to her human form with her face flushed red as an apple.

The atmosphere turned awkward. Rod coughed and said, "Sorry, Anna. I didn’t realize... the battle back then was too intense."

Anna brushed her long hair beside her ear, the delicate girl looking somewhat sultry at the moment.

"It’s okay, at times of life and death, nothing else matters. The only thing that’s important is victory."

Rod smiled and said, "You’re right, Anna. After the battle that day, I thought of an excellent tactic. If we ever encounter such unbeatable monsters again, you’ll carry me as I glare at them. They’ll definitely give chase relentlessly, and the rest can follow behind attacking fiercely. This way, the monster will either die from my stare or be hacked to death by comrades."

Anna was stunned, asking in surprise, "Will that work? Won’t the monster turn back on us?"

Rod confidently declared, "As long as I ensure a glare every two seconds, it definitely won’t."

Anna, recalling the details of the battle, realized it had indeed been like that during their encounters with the monster.

She immediately recognized this as a very viable and powerful tactic – no one in Royal City could attract a monster’s animosity like Rod; they could overcome many formidable enemies with it.

And in this strategy, her role was indispensable.

Suddenly, a wave of warmth surged in Anna’s heart.

Yes.

With this tactic, she could also become a pillar on the battlefield, just like her sisters.

Even though she was indeed useless, with such a powerful characteristic as Magic Awakening reduced to a mere mount, she was still valuable, still ready to fight shoulder to shoulder with her teammates against formidable Dark Monsters on the battlefield.

Wrapped in a strong sense of being needed, Anna’s face beamed with a smile yet her eyes brimmed with tears.

Wiping her tears while laughing and crying, she said, "Yes, it’s wonderful. I will carry you and run, keep running without letting the monster catch up, not even in death, I’ll never disappoint you."

Even though Rod had grown accustomed to the constant surge of Humanity from people, Anna’s reaction still caught him off guard.

This girl is really grateful to me.

Rod thought.

He comforted and encouraged her, complimenting her usefulness. Even though her power wasn’t very strong, her potential was profound; in Star Town, this front-line human bastion, she would definitely shine.

Anna seemed like her cosmos was about to explode, forgetting to transform, she jumped onto the treadmill and started sprinting wildly.

She didn’t forget to share with Rod some tricks to riding her, like how the legs should hold the upper abdomen of the Centaur, not to touch the moving muscles, the Centaur’s spine is very firm, not to sit too solidly, and to pay attention to wearing underwear and protection, otherwise it would be quite uncomfortable.

Rod thought to himself, why didn’t you mention this earlier; I’ve been in pain for days.

Walking into the main training area, both students and team members greeted him.

Rod responded to each one and pinpointed the flaws in their training with his extensive experience.

His Divine Sense made his foundation exceptionally solid, and since he had served as an instructor in a secret branch for a while, there was no problem with his guidance.

Of course, Rod’s main combat style was still primarily ranged.

Unless necessary, he would not engage in melee combat.

After giving instructions, Rod found O’Hara, Conrad, and Beowood, who were in the midst of recovery.
