The Last King of Darkness

dog. ”

Professor Bince stood up and searched the darkness with his gaze.

”This is the sacrificial site of the Sorsa Sede Empire.
During the Sorsa Sede period, there was an unknown cataclysm on the surface, and the entire empire moved to the sewers to survive.
Now, one-third of the sewer system in the royal city was expanded by them.
It is almost all abandoned now and has become a breeding ground for monsters and cultists of the apocalypse. ”

”The sacrificial site is their important prayer place.
The walls and pillars have been strengthened with spiritual energy and are very strong.
The power of the evil spirit hunting dog is too weak, and its size is not right.
It can ’t destroy this place. ”

Night Wing was slightly nervous and pulled out an iron wand from his pocket.
”What should we do now? ”

Professor Bince said calmly, ”We came here to explore the unknown and complete the map.
Hunting monsters is not our task. ”

”Record the information here and submit it to the Defense Department here.
We will return the same way and go around from the west district. ”

”Night Wing, enter battle mode, don ’t save your strength.
We will quickly complete the exploration task and return. ”

”Okay! ” Night Wing raised his wand, and spiritual energy began to burn.
”Leave everything to me! ”

Mo Li added fuel to the spirit lamps around their waists and sprinkled a black powder to eliminate their scent.

Then they returned along the same path.

Along the way, they walked quickly and spoke less.

The dark and dirty environment of the sewer was depressing, and the black filth hanging on the walls made people uncomfortable.

Rode suddenly realized Night Wing ’s role – to adjust the atmosphere and relieve pressure.

But he wisely didn ’t say anything, lest this guy with a strong ego explode on the spot.

The environment became more and more disgusting.
After returning from the east district, they entered the west district.

The main road near the sewer in the west district was still in use.
All kinds of filth from the royal city converged here, and diseases, plagues, poisonous insects, and rats still existed here and became even more disgusting due to the invasion of the black mist.On the way, Rode encountered many mutated rats, giant fleas, spiders, and fungus with hunting abilities.
Most of them were gray-level monsters that could only provide dust-like souls, which usually only contained 2-3 soulless souls, too few to be of use.
In order to save bullets, Rode did not shoot frequently.

Nightwing finally showed his fighting prowess, constantly summoning psychic giant swords to smash these monsters to pieces.
His iron rod also occasionally shot out shining energy balls, which exploded violently in the middle of the monster group, with a power comparable to about one-fifth of the energy of a thunderstone.

What Rode found interesting was that Nightwing could walk in the air.
Every time he landed, a circle of ripples appeared in the air, as if he had stepped on some kind of foothold.
His movements were very elegant, jumping and moving in the air, like a dance.

Under Nightwing ’s explanation, Rode quickly understood the effect of ”spell talent, ” which was the first soul characteristic he fully understood.
”Spell talent ” was actually a kind of innate ability.
In Thalorian, this type of characteristic was called ”talent quality. ” The meaning of ”spell talent ” was actually: having the innate ability to use ”spells. ” ”Spells ” were a very complicated system, with combat, illusion, floating, teleportation, healing, purification, imprisonment, and sealing abilities.
Due to the high difficulty of mastery, the upper and lower limits of its holders were extremely large.
The current upper limit was naturally Theodore, the dean of the Kimberly Institute, who was known as ”the old immortal. ” He was the object of study for all ”spell talent ” holders.
The lower limit was constantly being broken through, and Nightwing was once one of them.
But according to him, ”after my unremitting efforts, I have now become one of the upper limits and the idol of countless new students. ”

As they progressed, the monsters gradually became stronger, and Nightwing also began to struggle, but he still charged ahead, not letting Rode take action.
Finally, in the middle area of Aifeid, after leaving the west district of the sewer, Nightwing encountered a very powerful monster.
It was a spider that was at least as big as a house.
Its body was flat, with hundreds of pale and slender legs, and a painful human face on its abdomen.
Whenever it was attacked, the human face would spit out yellow-green acid.

”The distorted spider is a very powerful monster with particularly strong defense and a psychic iron plate.
It has no weaknesses, and ordinary people who encounter it will only die.
But I can slowly wear it down.
You guys just need to be patient and watch my performance. ”

”So, he and Professor Bince ’s team entered the inner city sewer? ”

Manolobana stared at the spy who came to report.

”Yes, Your Excellency the Grand Adjudicator.
This is their action plan and route map submitted to the Ash Seekers School. ”

After reading it, Manolobana ’s eyes flickered, and he fell silent.

After a moment, he said. ”Leak this information to the Corrupt Sect. ”
