The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 370 - 260: Humanity Must Triumph (Third Update)

Chapter 370: Chapter 260: Humanity Must Triumph (Third Update)

Chaos erupted among the crowd, but it was quickly overwhelmed by more combatants surging forward.

During this period in Star Town, Rod had become synonymous with hope, victory, and miracle in everyone’s mouth; his miraculous achievements were the talk of the town. Stories about him could entertain for days and nights without end. Every newcomer to the town was quickly brainwashed with these legendary tales, and those who were brainwashed would brainwash the next batch even more fiercely.

Thus, Rod had already acquired numerous titles, such as the ruler of the sewers, the King of Gluttony, the super nova designated by Lord Theodore, one of the pillars of humanity’s future, one of the legendary thirteen saviors, and so on.

And today’s unprecedented battle completely proved that this legendary figure had not let everyone down.

Therefore, when they heard that the monster was trying to invade his soul, everyone erupted and attacked the monster with all their might.

Molly expanded into a large cloud of smoke, enveloping Rod, trying to block the unclean Ghost Spirit’s invasion.

Aro also jumped out of Rod’s arms, standing in front of him.

But the unclean Ghost Spirit’s powerful Spiritual Energy directly locked onto Rod.

A glowing green shadow emerged from the unclean Ghost Spirit and drifted directly through Molly and others, penetrating directly into Rod’s body.

At that moment, Molly felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

But the next instant, the green shadow shot out like lightning, speeding back along its original path into the body of the Ghost Spirit.

What?

Molly was stunned.

Her muddled thoughts had not yet recovered when she heard Rod shout.

"Molly! Acceleration? What are you spacing out for?"

Molly then realized that Rod was already sprinting, not forgetting to keep Aro tucked under his ribs.

And she complained unhappily, "Change your position! It’s uncomfortable to be tucked in like this!"

"Can you use normal words?"

Rod shifted her from under his ribs, adopting a princess carry.

Aro laughed and hugged Rod’s neck, "That’s better!"

Rod shouted, "Quickly replenish your magic!"

A flash of Spiritual Light gleamed in Aro’s hand, and a surge of heat flowed into Rod’s body.

"Oh, little Rod, your pool is so shallow, put some effort in, I still have a lot of water."

Rod angrily retorted, "Don’t be proud, it’s just Eighth Level Spiritual Energy. It won’t be long before I can reach the bottom and drain you completely!"

Aro laughed, "Oh, little Rod, you always aim so high. Just Eighth Level, I’ll be waiting for you."

Hearing their teasing voices, Molly finally felt her heart settle. The intense fear, profound despair, and the abysmal darkness had retreated from the depths of her soul.

For a moment, she had been terrified that Rod would exit the scene just like that, like the tragedy from many years ago.

It was a nightmare she never wanted to remember, where a rising star like Rod had given her hope only to silently fall, plunging her into despairing hell.

Years had passed, and she was still haunted. Even now, having achieved such a great victory, she would still wake up in the middle of the night, thinking she had awoken from an unreachable beautiful dream, and was still enveloped in her past deep despair.

But at this moment, everything seemed different.

Listening to their lively voices, Molly felt in a daze that she would never lose them again, almost as if bathed in sunlight.

Flower of Humanity +1

This line of small print mingled with countless elements of humanity, went unnoticed by Rod.

He only noticed that his speed hadn’t picked up and shouted again.

"Molly, what are you dreaming about, Wind Black Silk! If you can’t use it, take it off and let me wear it!"

The wind whirled around Rod, instantly accelerating his speed.

Molly then noticed that the frenzied Ghost Spirit had accelerated again. It was already engulfed in roaring flames, and its dark soul could no longer suppress the force of fire spreading on it. Its Spiritual Energy was boiling and evaporating, and thick black smoke carried the material that made up the Ghost Spirit into the air, dissipating into the depths of the void.

Everyone could see that the unclean Ghost Spirit was no longer holding up. They intensified their attack, while the Ghost Spirit, heedless of anything, continued to chase Rod.

Suddenly, another thick smoke drifted out of the Ghost Spirit and struck Rod like lightning.

"Death Curse!"

Molly recognized the skill instantly.

It was also one of the unclean Ghost Spirit’s most troublesome skills, capable of causing instant soul withering and killing any being with a spirit.

Many powerful combatants had fallen to this curse before.

Molly shifted her gaze to Rod.

Indeed, he only shouted, "Damn it! What the heck, I just lost tens of thousands of Humanity..."

Aro curiously asked, "What Humanity? Is it the ’making people’ kind of thing I’m thinking of?"

Rod angrily replied, "Can’t you have something normal in your head? There’s a super fierce monster chasing me... quick, replenish your magic!"

Aro pouted, but still quickly filled Rod’s depleted soul with Spiritual Energy.

This was already the twentieth time she had replenished his magic, and she still had one fifth of her Spiritual Energy left.

The increasing consumption of Rod’s Spiritual Energy also surprised Aro.

Normally, no Fire Holder would have the capacity to exceed their Spiritual Energy by too much.

But Rod seemed to be the exception always.

Suddenly, she heard Molly’s faint voice.

"Aro, don’t you ever worry about him?"

Upon hearing this question, Aro immediately displayed a smile like a blooming flower.

"Of course not, he is the man designated by Lord Theodore, Miss Qingyu’s fiancé, how could he possibly die here?"

"But there are no absolutes... What if?"

Aro furrowed her delicate eyebrows, pondered for a few seconds, then smiled again.

"Then there’s nothing I can do. I can only charge him up... oh, according to him, replenish his magic. I don’t know about, nor can I think about, anything else."

"And what if... because he died, humanity was destroyed?"

Aro’s expression turned somewhat forlorn, like a wilting flower.

"There was nothing to be done about it, maybe humanity’s fate was to perish, but all I had to do was try my best."

Snap!

She was abruptly slapped by Rod.

"What are you muttering about? How could humanity possibly perish? Have you not seen the towering figure of the man holding you?"

Qingyu angrily said, "How could you slap my back? Even my mother has never done that. I’m going to go back and tell Miss Qingyu to severely punish you!"

Rod’s tone suddenly weakened by a few notches.

"I’m sorry, my hand slipped. I am actually a gentleman, just influenced by the Soul Ripple of old Theodore... stop!"

He suddenly shouted loudly, letting go with both hands, and with a smack, Qingyu fell on her buttocks.

"Everyone stop! Stop quickly! Let me do it!"

He yelled, dispersing the Combatants around the Ghost Spirit and burst forth with unprecedented speed, charging like light in front of the beast.

He sidestepped the Ghost Spirit’s Heavy Strike, his right hand, bursting with blinding light at some point, plunged directly into the body of the Ghost Spirit.

Boom.

A thunderous noise as if from the void echoed across heaven and earth.

Rod violently withdrew his hand, and the Ghost Spirit collapsed on the ground like a limp puppet.

The roaring flames swiftly engulfed it, thick black smoke almost covering the skies over Star Town for a long time.

A black line entered Rod’s body.

[Very Powerful Soul]

Good!

Rod’s face lit up with joy.

I can finally light a new Star.

Hahaha, I’ve been waiting for so long.

This time I must ignite a super strong Star; my millions of souls finally have a place to do good.

But he soon realized a problem.

Do I have four parts of Star Ash?

And I don’t have Divinity anymore... what about the Soul Firewood?

Rod scratched his head, thinking about turning back to ponder over this issue, when the warriors rushing from all sides had already overwhelmed him.

The deafening cheers shot to the sky, everyone ecstatically wanting to embrace their Commander.

He had created an unparalleled Miracle.

And all of them had achieved this Miracle. For countless years to come, they could always recall this moment.

On a warm Fire Day, at humanity’s frontline outpost, beneath the firelight of Star Town, under the miraculous command of their Commander, they defeated an exceedingly powerful monster in a manner unprecedented in the history of Trolian.

At this moment, they just wanted to cheer wildly, releasing their euphoric emotions.

And Molly finally let go of her fears, placing all her hopes on this young man.

In the distance.

Chief Judge Amoli and Krama had already quietly departed.

They couldn’t believe why the most troublesome skill of the unclean Ghost Spirit had failed.

They had once surrounded the same Ghost Spirit in some battle, prepping endlessly with Potions, talismans, soul protections, targeted strategies, and the best personnel configuration to counter its abilities.

Even so, that bloody battle was like a nightmare, echoing in their minds for many years afterward.

Thus they were convinced of the concept that darkness was unbeatable.

Humanity could only survive hidden in the most remote corners, and to them, power and money were the only things worth pursuing in this world. Fighting for the Fire Will was a deceptive lie.

But now, their beliefs had been shattered by that youngster not even half their age.

Intense hatred rose from their chests, determined to destroy Star Town and kill that ignorant bastard no matter what,

To mend their shattered worldviews and the dignity trampled under his feet.

"Darkness is unbeatable,"

They thought.

"Your victory will vanish like a shooting star; avoiding darkness is the only way to survive. Provoking darkness will eventually lead to death under more powerful darkness."

----

As the warriors were celebrating, they suddenly discovered a large group of High Rank Ghost Spirits scattered along the road from Star Town to Ghost Spirit Lake.

Rod was overjoyed and immediately assigned tasks, ordering the warriors to lure the Ghost Spirits into the range of Star Town’s fire for annihilation.

Without a Strong Monster Leader, and the gap not being insurmountable, Fierce Level beasts were merely meals on his plate.

Under the dual suppression of Fire Day and Guardian Fire, they couldn’t stir up much trouble.

Rod harvested another large wave of souls, and thereafter, scouts reported that there weren’t many monsters left in Ghost Spirit Lake, the only threat being a Corrupted Hydra.

"Great! That’s fantastic!"

Rod was extremely happy, not expecting such good fortune.

Today truly was a great day.

"All forces attack, take over Ghost Spirit Lake!"

"Star Town, we’re taking a step forward again!"

Rod shouted loudly.

"Humanity will prevail!"

In the tsunami of shouts, one voice echoed.

"Humanity will prevail!"
