The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 703 - 405: Star’s Heart

Chapter 703: Chapter 405: Star’s Heart

All weakness departed in an instant, and at that moment, Rod felt as though he had been reborn.

The suppressed Spiritual Energy surged wildly, and as the restless power emanated from his heart, a fearsome monster charged towards him. But the moment Rod stood up, he felt as though he could bear the weight of all humanity.

[Power of Giant God]

A giant arm made of Spiritual Energy burst forth from his body, shimmering with Spiritual Light, as if a deity had extended its hand through Rod’s body. With the strength of a giant god, it delivered an unstoppable punch directly to the monster’s head.

The clash of mighty Spiritual Energies collided. The fully grown Soul Devouring Demon possessed up to Thirteen Level Spiritual Defense, but the absolute strength of the "Power of the Giant God" far exceeded this level.

With a booming sound, the space seemed to dent, and a visible transparent ripple spread out. A massive wave of Spiritual Power Shock burst forth like a tsunami, instantly penetrating the Soul Devouring Demon’s Spiritual Defense. The monster’s soul shattered, its body disintegrated into a circle of flesh mud, scattering into black ash at an unprecedented speed and disappearing into the air.

A giant cloud of ash flew towards him and entered his chest.

[Soul of the Giant Soul Devouring Demon]

The moment Rod smiled, he collapsed to the ground.

He had gambled everything, pushing the [Power of Giant God] to its limit.

It lasted for at least three seconds, not half a second like before.

At the same time, the incoming wave of weakness was incredibly powerful. Rod’s soul almost reached a silent state, unable to use any Spiritual Energy, and his exhausted spirit couldn’t even move a little finger.

Hall and Misole were both stunned.

This strike had truly showcased the power of the [Power of Giant God] in all its glory. A fully formed Giant Soul Devouring Demon was definitely not something a Second Level Combatant could handle.

Yet Rod had obliterated it with a single hit.

Asa’s phantom in the Void was dumbstruck, hardly believing its eyes. Such a mighty force being used again was completely contrary to the usual rules of characteristics.

"Impossible, impossible, impossible."

It wildly spun in the air, trying to find new threats. The Book of Destiny itself didn’t possess much power; it could only eliminate its enemies by triggering other forces.

But all the monsters within the Soul Devouring King Castle were already dead.

"It’s that damned bitch!"

Asa cursed.

"She killed all my monsters, this ungrateful wretch, dare to destroy the great..."

Bang!

"Shut your mouth!"

Hall shouted angrily, his Spiritual Power Shock dispersing the phantom.

"Maggot! You’re just a stinking pile of garbage!"

Asa’s phantom reformed, sneering, "Stupid follower of fire, you can’t eliminate me, your delusions are doomed to fail. I will soon release the Soul Devouring King, this ancient Evil Spirit suppressed for a thousand years will destroy your legions, and this will be the first domino to fall. Trolian’s fate is destruction."

Rod sneered, "You talk too much trash. After being slapped in the face so many times, where do you get your confidence from?"

"Hehehe."

Asa’s laughter grew louder.

"Don’t celebrate too early, you’ve killed the monsters but also exhausted your strength. The last Sealing Gate hasn’t been opened yet. How will you replace the seal? You can only watch helplessly as the Soul Devouring King awakens, becoming its first nourishment."

"Yes, I may not gain your souls and characteristics, but your screams before death will be the greatest joke of my life."

Amid insane laughter, Asa’s phantom vanished.

The expressions of the three turned grim, as Asa’s words were true. Only Rod had the strength to push open the Sealing Gate, yet he had already fallen into a state of extreme weakness.

In the silence, Hall suddenly asked, "Rod, can the Goddess’ Tears remove the pollution?"

Rod faintly shook his head.

"The pollution within the seal is too severe. Using Spiritual Energy to push would cause extreme corruption of the soul. The Goddess’ Tears are not that powerful, they can only dissolve the corruption to a certain extent, not completely reverse the deterioration of the soul."

Hall fell silent; he had intended to forcefully open the Sealing Gate, but he was the only Sealer in the team. If his soul became polluted, he wouldn’t be able to use Meredith’s seal to replace the Starry Seal.

The mission was still a failure.

Hall shifted his gaze to Misole, wondering if she could stand up...

Misole clenched her lips tightly, trying hard to digest this weakened state of the soul.

Her soul inherently possessed the ability to dissolve all negative states, but this time, the weakness rebound from Rod’s [Power of Giant God] was different. It was like a bottomless ocean. No matter how hard she tried, she could only dissolve a trivial amount, nowhere near the self-evaporation rate of the ocean itself.

The chilly aura in the air grew increasingly intense. The curse of the Soul Devouring King was once again cast upon the three fresh souls, making them feel that their Spiritual Energy was obscure and their souls dim and lackluster.

The Book of Knowledge spoke in his mind, "Master, let’s retreat. Although it’s regrettable, this is still the better outcome."

After a few seconds of silence, Rod suddenly said, "No, I still have a way."

The Book of Knowledge wrote, "There’s no way..."

"There is, I’ll commit suicide, set the Resurrection Stone’s respawn point right here, and the me after resurrection will no longer be affected by weakness."

The Book of Knowledge became frantic, "But isn’t that wasting a Resurrection Stone? We only have 25 points of Divinity left. Before the next moment when the stars flash, every point of Divinity is extremely important."
