The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1371 - 677: All Rely on Myself (Second Update)

Chapter 1371: Chapter 677: All Rely on Myself (Second Update)

Their shock was compounded by Rod’s increasingly fast battle efficiency.

He always finds the cluster of giants at the fastest speed, and kills them even faster.

Giants come in various kinds, with different weaknesses.

Yet, Rod never hesitated for half a second, killing a giant with one strike.

His attacks precisely hit the weakness of the giants, no matter where it’s hidden.

Moreover, as time went by, Rod’s attacks grew more precise, using just enough Spiritual Energy to pierce their defense.

This not only did not affect his efficiency but also allowed him to maintain a long-term combat state.

In just two clock hours, Rod cleared the entire second floor with overwhelming speed.

Three expeditions failed to accomplish what Rod did in just two clock hours.

Luo Weiya’s emotions fluctuated from shock, disbelief, ecstasy, to self-doubt and depression, ultimately returning to ecstasy after several ups and downs.

"Indeed! Rod is surely the Angel Envoy of Fire Heaven, the turning point for humanity, the rebound from the depths... my theory is correct! We shall usher in a great revival!"

The bald master experienced similar changes but found it a bit more difficult than Luo Weiya:

"How could my intelligence be lower than his?"

But once he accepted Luo Weiya’s premise, his mind instantly expanded.

"Ah, Lord Rod is the Avatar of Fire Will, possessing infinite wisdom. He seems to have a bit of an intellectual problem, but he’s not actually impaired; he bears humanity’s Qi Fortune, while I just rely on acquired effort, of course, I cannot match him!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The bald master didn’t feel dejected because of this but grew more excited.

"Ah, no wonder Lord Rod can propose so many theories. Hahaha, countless questions in my heart finally have answers, given time, I will surely witness new wisdom, a new domain, new heights, hahaha, nothing beats discovering the Truth!"

Both of their attitudes changed drastically, becoming incredibly positive, and the tension between them dissipated as they both believed they would surpass each other.

Honestly, these two are somewhat useful.

Though Tactical Goggles can’t compare to Rod’s Spiritual Vision and Eye of the Soul, its breadth of vision is wider, sometimes catching details Rod missed.

Meanwhile, Luo Weiya’s deep research on Great Dragon City allows him to infer approximate locations with surrounding landscape even if he hasn’t been to some places.

With their assistance, Rod’s efficiency received further enhancement.

Of course, the Book of Knowledge remained the core.

Without its presence, Rod couldn’t have slain so many giants in such a short time.

After clearing the second floor, Rod came to the third floor.

The Black Fog here was denser, reaching Derivative Level; Rod had to consume a Flower of Humanity to ward off the corrosion.

Raising his eyes, the scenery within a thousand yards was reflected clearly into his pupils, a sight he never had before; in Derivative Level Black Fog, his vision was often suppressed to 200 yards or less.

But after awakening the Star Soul of Divine Sense, Rod could see the scene within a thousand yards and sense disturbances farther away.

An icy and evil aura surged toward him, lurking in the darkness, harboring infinite malice.

"Master."

The Book of Knowledge calmly said.

"I feel beneath this Giant City exists unimaginably dark existence, so the further down we go, the more dangerous it becomes."

Rod nodded, striding forward.

Unlike the first and second floors, some buildings appeared in the third layer, which were tall, evidently for giants.

These buildings were heavily damaged, making it difficult to discern their original purpose.

At the center of the buildings, there were often swarms of giants whose corruption and decay were worse compared to the second floor, but not stronger, as most giants were incomplete, seemingly monsters born from corpses submerged in Black Fog.

Strictly speaking, these monsters are not giants but new creatures born from their corpses; giant weaknesses don’t apply, forcing Rod into direct combat with them.

"They are fast!"

Luo Weiya shouted.

"These monsters appear to be transformed from giant fragments. What happened in the third layer? Why are the giant bodies shattered?"

The bald master shouted: "They are very agile, yet possess giant defense and Spiritual Energy... Lord Rod, it’s tough to fight."

Rod chuckled: "Don’t worry, no one can defeat me now, I alone can deal with this broken city."

His gaze focused on a giant moth-like monster, decaying flesh tangling around its body, with black necrotic matter piled on the stump, moving up and down with its body.

It seems its original form was a severed giant hand.

It zipped past Rod, swift as a phantom, yet Rod remained fixed on it.

A thought flashed, activating Sin’s Touch.

Snap!

Dozens of black tentacles shot out from the Void, piercing the moth monster instantly.

A flash of black light passed, followed by the scattering of tentacles.

The moth monster struggled briefly, then fell from the sky.

Rod immediately perceived its Spiritual Defense full of holes, thin as a sheet of paper.

Its Spiritual Energy circulation almost halted, with the ripples in its soul tending toward infinite calm.

This monster stiffened.

After awakening the Star Soul, Sin’s Touch could not only weaken armor but also reverse will and spirit, causing chaotic monsters to fall into a state of rigidity once reversed successfully.

This is the perfect time to attack.

Rod leaped forward, reaching with a backhand to finish off the monster.

Twisted Giant Monster’s soul

Good!

Rod clenched his fist.

The slaughter was about to start again.

He strode forward, where his gaze swept, corpse monsters fell one after another, killed swiftly.

This feeling, it was like swatting flies.

Except the flies before Rod were larger than a Spiritual Energy carriage.

Sin’s Touch consumed substantial Spiritual Energy, but Rod now had deep reserves, entirely sustaining it.

To counter Sin’s Touch, much stronger Spiritual Energy is needed, far beyond Rod’s.

But unfortunately, here, Rod encountered no such entity.

He almost walked crosswise, monsters sending forth continuously only to be slain in an instant.

Whether new monsters or giant monsters, posed no threat to him.

HaHaHa!

I am invincible across the world!

Nothing can stop me!

Rod, extremely excited, once again began the ruthless slaughter.

Before long, the third layer of monsters was cleared out by him.

Rod’s spiritual energy had only consumed about half, and he still had Frost Blue, so this amount of spiritual energy was not a problem at all.

Afterward, Rod arrived at the fourth layer.

An even denser black fog hit him in the face, and the Flower of Humanity seemed unable to resist.

But Rod was not worried; he still had humanity and the Flower of Humanity.

What’s wrong with consuming a few more of them?

This place was somewhat similar to the second layer, with giants gathering in groups, led by a strong giant leader.

This giant was usually an Armored Giant, Shield Giant, or Sword Giant.

But no matter what kind of giant it was, the Book of Knowledge always immediately revealed its weak point.

Rod continued his mass slaughter.

The only issue was that as the battle intensified, the heat dissipation of Truth gradually slowed down, and Spirit’s Omen couldn’t be used for too long.

He had to carefully plan the use of skills, or else the clearing efficiency would sharply drop.

This was his forte, and soon, Rod adapted to this kind of battle and got better at it.

His grasp of timing in attacks was unparalleled, and his discernment of giants was impeccable.

In battle, unless it was an Armored Giant, he would never use Truth and Spirit’s Omen for an all-out strike,

In general situations, Rod would just maintain the form of Giant God Power.

As long as he focused his mind, his regular attacks had a 5-7 times conversion rate, simply put, that’s about a quarter or fifth of a Divine Strike’s power, more than enough for ordinary giants.

When facing relatively weak giants, Rod didn’t even bother to activate the Giant God Power and could kill them with his bare hands.

Sin’s Touch was specifically used to deal with those fast-moving monsters without giant weak points.

Under such circumstances, Rod broke through like a knife through butter, clearing the fourth, fifth layers, arriving at the sixth layer.

Only one layer away from the deepest seventh layer.

Although Rod did his utmost to conserve his spiritual energy, by now, after continuous combat, it was almost depleted.

Rod did not hesitate at all, directly consuming 100 points of divinity to activate the Great Spiritual Tide.

In an instant, the entire Great Dragon City was enveloped in a glow of spiritual energy.

Rod’s spiritual energy quickly began to recover, and his dried soul became moist once again.

But the giants were unable to obtain such recovery.

With ample spiritual energy, Rod recklessly activated Giant God Power, repeatedly casting Sin’s Touch.

Even on the sixth layer, no giant was his match.

Hahaha!

Here, I am the War God!

Rod laughed so hard that his mouth almost skewed.

From today onwards, who dares to say I’m not the Invincible War God?

I can achieve today all thanks to my own hard work and wisdom. This broken dream realm, these desolate humans, this faint fire, which of these is not reliant on me? Not all held up solely by me?

Isn’t this the Invincible War God?

Hmph!

From today on, nothing in heaven or earth can stand in the way of my advancement!

I alone can hold up this collapsing world, rekindle the glory of Fire.

Amidst his wild laughter, Rod, with an unstoppable force, penetrated the sixth layer and arrived at the seventh layer.

Here, black water flowed everywhere, and terrifying pollution came pouring in.

Luo Weiya, the bald Master, and the Book of Knowledge simultaneously issued warnings.

"Be careful! The pollution here is extraordinarily terrifying!"

But Rod was fearless, directly heading deeper in.

Soon, an incredibly terrifying giant was alarmed; it stood up, at least 500 yards high, its terrifying spiritual energy like an ocean, and the black water flowed all over it, the aura of a Strong Source was overwhelming.

"King Level Monster?"

Rod sneered.

"Finally, a bit of a challenge, watch me blow it up with one strike, Book, the weak point!"

"Back of the neck!"

Boom!

Rod fully unleashed his power, 2.95 million kiloclocks of spiritual energy roared out as he drove the Red War God to lightning speed.

But the giant’s hand, even faster, struck Rod.

With just one blow, the Red War God shattered, spiritual energy completely collapsed, and Rod was sent flying, crashing into the ground.

"Run quickly!"

Luo Weiya shouted urgently.

"Rod brother, you are not at King Level yet! This creature is a Strong King Level! You can’t handle this tough battle alone!"

Rod got up from the ground, feeling the vibration of his soul.

The overwhelming spiritual energy oppressed his perceptions, far surpassing his spiritual power strength.

"Hmph!"

But he just sneered.

"Is that so?"

With a touch of his hands, a thought moved.

Spirit Boat!

A white teleportation gate instantly opened!

Boom!

At the moment of opening, an incomparably huge flaming sword stabbed out from the teleportation gate, piercing directly through the giant’s body.

"Ah, I have waited so long."

From within the teleportation gate, the King holding the Flame Giant Sword smiled and said.

"You finally came, little Rod."

At this moment, Rod’s right hand had already plunged into the giant’s body, a reverse pull, and this terrifying giant fell apart.

"Hmph, isn’t it killed?"

"Who said I couldn’t handle it alone?"
