Chapter 644: Chapter 380: Leave it to Me

Herman and Zhang Bai exchanged glances, both feeling surprise in each other’s eyes.

If he were not Rod, but a regular Hall Warrior, they would definitely have scolded his behavior.

But he was.

So they agreed.

The underground entrance in the center of Star City was a huge pit, so large that one could glimpse numerous lights while looking down from above.

Herman said, "This place was once the underground prison of Star City, used to detain irredeemable criminals. However, it was destroyed in an intense battle, creating this pit."

Rod looked down, and the Eye of the Soul’s vision penetrated the obstacles, allowing him to see the scenery deep underground.

On the pitch-black ground, many warriors were fighting fiercely.

Their enemies were pure black creatures, like condensed Black Fog, with Soul Strength surpassing the usual Fierce Level, reaching beyond a Super-Ranked Fierce Level.

The fight was extremely challenging; the dark creatures were very troublesome, and their numbers far exceeded that of the warriors.

Herman’s face grew very ugly: "Why did the number of dark creatures increase again? Could it be..."

Rod looked several times and confirmed that the creatures were coming from a deeper level, which was enveloped in intense darkness, obstructing even the Eye of the Soul’s vision.

Zhang Bai said grimly, "The situation doesn’t look good. The situation at the uppermost layer is like this. It’s hard to imagine what it’s like on the lower levels. I think we should notify Qingyu and Lord Lothar right away; we need to move forward our evacuation plan."

Herman nodded slightly: "Otherwise, it’ll be too late. It’s better to amputate a limb to save ourselves than to be annihilated."

But just as Zhang Bai was about to pull out the Spirit Crow Messenger, Rod grabbed him.

"Don’t be hasty, I will make a move."

Zhang Bai stared at him in surprise: "Brother Rod, this is not something human power can salvage. The underground space of Star City is very deep, not only the underground prison but also the deep holes we excavated and the giant pits dug by our predecessors. There are at least more than a dozen levels by depth alone."

Herman urged, "So many dark creatures have surged from the uppermost level, proving that the fight below can’t hold up anymore. Our defense system is about to collapse."

"In the face of vast darkness, individual combat power is very minute, you can’t change the battle situation."

Rod shook his head: "That’s not necessarily true."

With a tap of his toes and a burst of Spiritual Energy, he shot out like a bolt of lightning with a bang.

In mid-air, the Phantom already appeared, emitting strong Spiritual Energy fluctuations. The flashes of Spiritual Energy completely covered the two figures, crashing into the crowd of creatures like two incandescent meteors.

A swath of creatures instantly turned to ashes.

Rod rose from the ashes, holding the "Star Night," running Tenth Level Spiritual Energy at full strength. The powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation unfolded like a storm, actually blowing the nearly thirty feet tall dark creatures away.

"Reinforcements have arrived."

Rod called out loudly.

"For Trolian!"

The sound, amplified by Spiritual Energy, carried far and brought a uniform response from the warriors.

"For Trolian!"

Rod took a step and charged into the crowd of creatures, his sword like flowing light, his body like lightning. He instantly tore the creatures apart, the toughest dark creatures were as fragile as thin paper before him.

And there was another like him.

Rod and the Phantom, one to the left and one to the right, commenced a slaughter among the dark creature crowd.

Where the brilliant sword light fell, creatures fell like wheat, and the darkness parted like waves under a cleaver, stunning all the warriors.

"Where did these reinforcements come from?"

"So strong, this is definitely a master of physical combat!"

"His combat motions are incredibly skilled, they can’t be achieved without twenty years of hard practice!"

"No wait, the key is he’s using Soul Combat!"

"With such high efficiency, could it be Lord Tai Luo?"

"Idiots! Tai Luo’s Characteristic is light; he doesn’t fight like this!"

"Then, who is he?"

Amid the discussions, the warriors didn’t forget to bravely continue fighting, and the situation gradually started to improve.

Seeing this, Herman and Zhang Bai could only silently join the fight.

About a half clock hour later, the surface layer’s creatures were wiped out.

The warriors crowded around the two figures, but Herman stopped them.

"Rest now, heal, recuperate your Spiritual Energy! Prepare for the next battle!"

Rod deactivated the Phantom, feeling for the first time the strength of the Tenth Level Spiritual Energy.

The double consumption of the Phantom hardly affected him, his Spiritual Energy still brimming, no different from before he descended.

The uppermost layer’s dark creatures had been cleared, giving the warriors a moment to breathe.

Yet, Rod furrowed his brow, just like when he was at Storm Castle, these creatures barely had souls, only a few points of a Soul Without Spirit.

Clearly, their source of power wasn’t here.

"This must be a Dark Distortion Phenomenon!"

The Book of Knowledge assertively said.

"This underground area has been profoundly polluted; the Black Fog has eroded down to the world’s base layer, making the twisting and corruption forces even stronger, greatly suppressing the power of fire."

"Logically speaking, whatever caused this should be very powerful, it’s odd that we cannot find any traces."

Rod didn’t mind and, looking at Herman and Zhang Bai approaching, smiled, "Let’s go deeper."

Herman urged anxiously, "Brother Rod, such a victory is useless. The dark creatures are endless, and without finding the source, the more we fight, the weaker we become, eventually we will be overwhelmed."
