The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 671 - 392: Slaying the Nightmare_2

Chapter 671: Chapter 392: Slaying the Nightmare_2

The King swung his authority, and an invisible force ripped away the twisted alterations; the dark laws were expelled by an even stronger power.

The massive monster’s body emitted strange rhythms, as its sludge-like form burst open with many cracks. It was as if the darkness itself was howling.

"Good, it seems to have some effect; indeed, there is some bizarre secret hidden inside this creature, but unfortunately, I don’t have any more time,"

The spiritual body’s flickering became even more urgent. The King glanced at it with a sense of regret and flew back.

"I’ll remember this strange monster... and come back to kill it next time."

Dream Realm.

Rod exerted all his strength, yet he inevitably fell into an absolute disadvantage.

The Divine Blade had already been extracted from the bizarre eyeball and could no longer deal a fatal threat to the Dark Stars.

If it weren’t for the Divine Blade being connected to his will, protecting his very essence, he would have been shattered long ago.

But now, the crisis he was in was no less severe than that one.

The skull’s eye sockets blazed with purple light, but it wasn’t directed at Rod; instead, it targeted the Obelisk.

The Guardian of Darkness’s power was rapidly stripped away, and the white mist that enveloped the Obelisk was dissipating bit by bit.

A large mass of purple light condensed in the mouth of the skull.

The Book of Knowledge was one hundred percent certain that the Obelisk wouldn’t withstand the next purple flash.

Everything seemed to have reached an end.

"It’s over, we’re done... Why am I so stupid, I’m such a dogshit of wisdom and beauty... huh?"

Suddenly, the Book of Knowledge’s spiritual fog plunged into the Dream Realm, regaining control over it once more.

"This... is this the lifting of the Dark Stars’ laws?"

The Book of Knowledge had no time for elation, no time to explore the why, as it almost immediately released control of the Dream Realm from suppressing the Dark Stars, burning 100 points of divine dream power with an all-mighty force to change direction, shielding Rod from the oppression of the Dark Stars.

With the suppression of the Dream Realm gone, the power of the Dark Stars surged, nearly submerging half of the Dream Realm in a raging purple light.

But all of it was meaningless.

The surging power couldn’t shake the Dream Realm’s defenses, nor could it resist the Divine Blade.

In an instant, Rod felt light all over. He grabbed the Divine Blade and thrust it down to the hilt, piercing directly through the bizarre eyeball.

Wu—

A peculiar squealing noise soared into the sky, and a large amount of purplish-black pus sprayed out of the eyeball, deflating rapidly like a balloon losing air.

But Rod wasn’t the least bit happy because he had neither received the soul of the Dark Stars nor seen it.

This eyeball was its essence, but it was only a part of its essence; its core was missing!

Where was it?

Rod was about to withdraw the Divine Blade when the purplish-black pus suddenly exploded, forming an even denser cloud of purple fog.

The Book of Knowledge urgently shouted, "Careful! The Dark Stars are making their last stand!"

The skull suddenly lunged forward, ramming Rod into its own skull cavity.

Rod’s vision went black as he seemed to enter a domain of pure darkness.

A strange core flew out from the shriveled eyeball.

It flickered with the light of stars but was filled with a despairing stillness within, emanating the stench of decay and death.

This is the essence of the Dark Stars!

This thought flashed through Rod’s mind without a half-second of hesitation, he thrust forward fiercely, but a powerful force imprisoned his entire body.

Without the protection of the Dream Realm, the Dark Stars once again overpowered him.

The Divine Blade was only half a yard from the core, but it just couldn’t penetrate further.

In the next instant, a phantom appeared by his side, took over the Divine Blade in a backhand grip, and with a lightning-fast move, plunged it into the essence of the Dark Stars.

Boom!

The indestructible skull instantly shattered, the core split in two, with purple light flying all around, and the Divine Blade dissipated with it—its time had come.

However, there was no soul!

The Dark Stars weren’t dead yet!

Rod hastily looked around, but he heard the Book of Knowledge frantically shouting, "Master! Over there! Its soul! It’s over there!"

Rod quickly turned his head, spotting a purple shadow trying to rush into the Obelisk, its back marked by a vast golden crack, almost splitting it in two.

The Book of Knowledge shouted, "Master! Stop it!"

Rod stomped on the ground, and his figure instantly shot out like an arrow off its string, his right hand plunging straight into the soul’s vulnerability, grasping a large expanse of darkness with his five fingers.

The very next moment, an unprecedented giant force tugged at his soul through his right hand.

This wasn’t the first time, and Rod was well-prepared, he bellowed, activating the "Giant God Power".

The phantom of a gigantic arm flickered over Rod’s right hand, and a giant force like a reversing river poured into his right hand.

With a thought from Rod, the "Soul Strike" he had practiced day and night was unleashed.

Spiritual Energy transformed into a turbulent state at unimaginable speed, then into power with ineffable efficiency!

In a thunderous moment, Rod’s power increased by tens of thousands of times, and with a fierce tug, he pulled out all of the darkness that had lain dormant for millions of years.

Boom!

A thunderous sound from the void, and space itself trembled.

The purple shadows shattered, the purple mist that filled the entire Dream Realm rapidly dissipated, and large swathes of black smoke rose up.

The Dark Stars fell!

The Nightmare Night vanished into smoke!

A vast stream of darkness pierced through Rod’s chest and flew above the Soul Altar.

[Soul of the Dark Stars]

[An Extremely Great Soul]

[With ten portions of Source]

[With fifty portions of Nightmare Fuel]

[It is the Undead of the stars, the will of the dead stars, born a warped monster after being eroded by Black Fog. Its very existence is the nightmare of the world, a critical factor in triggering the calamitous Star Phase.]

Simultaneously.

A strange sparkle fell from the sky.

Nightmare Gem +1

Nightmare Fuel +40

——

Finally!

It was finally over!

Rod all but collapsed on the ground, not even having the time to see what he had gained, his mind a blank.

This battle with the Dark Stars and Nightmare Night was the greatest crisis he had ever faced.

It was also the creature he fought with the greatest disparity in strength; he had actually thought he was done for.

Unexpectedly, he found life in a desperate situation.

With that thought, Rod suddenly realized something and rushed to the head of the puppet.

It looked lifeless, like a toy abandoned by its owner.

"Book! Is there any hope for Aphro?" he asked.

The Book of Knowledge looked as if it was drained, weakly saying, "Master, Aphro has sustained serious damage. We must expend a lot of resources to repair it. I suggest you immediately exchange all the materials needed from humans, and prepare enough souls and spirituality."

Rod let out a long breath, "As long as there is hope."

The Book of Knowledge slowly wrote, "Master, there were many strange things in this battle, we were affected by an unknown force. It made the invasion very irritable, enhanced the instincts of the Dark Stars, and made me... uh, a bit impetuous."

It paused for a moment, then continued.

"We have slain the Dark Stars, but we are still in great crisis. We must quickly find this unknown force and extinguish it, or there will be endless trouble afterward."

Rod frowned, "Book, are you saying that the Doomsday believers are framing us?"

The Book of Knowledge nodded, "Very likely."

Rod frowned and said, "So, what you mean is, the Doomsday believers can still control the invasion? Influence the Dream Realm?"

The Book of Knowledge shook its head, "No, Master, this is a war between the Dream Realm and Black Fog; nobody can meddle, and nothing can influence the Dream Realm. It only accelerated the threats we faced originally."

Rod’s frown deepened, and a hint of killing intent appeared.

"Are you saying, all the bizarre occurrences during this invasion are related to the Doomsday believers?"

The Book of Knowledge spoke calmly, "It’s just a guess, but the possibility is high. You should go to the White Tower, maybe you will find something there."

Rod silently remembered the words of the Book of Knowledge, planning to visit the White Tower as soon as he left the Dream Realm.

He had yet to respond to the invitation from Meredith, the Master of White Tower.

If it really had anything to do with that shitty Polluter Sect, then he would stamp them out first.

Rod made up his mind, and only then did he turn his thoughts to see what he had reaped.
