The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 1382 - 681: The Heavens Are Within Reach

The soft touch stirred Rod’s nerves, nothing made him happier than this moment: "Not only can I solve the problem of Deathwood Forest, but also the expansion issue of Trolian."

"Then you are my father!"

This was too much stimulation, and White Wolf pulled Aro down.

Qingyu stepped forward and softly asked, "Little Rod, what are you going to do?"

"Tell me the location of the King Level Monster, I’ll go alone."

"That won’t work, a decapitation action is ineffective. Those Quasi-King Level Monsters are born because of it, connected in a special way. When the King Level Monster is killed, its Strong Source will immediately transfer to one of the Quasi-King Level Monsters, like its container."

Rod laughed, "I know, if I kill them all, won’t that solve it?"

Qingyu looked at Rod, flames flickering in her eyes.

After a long while, she softly said, "Okay, if you succeed, I’ll call you big brother too."

Under the golden firelight, a thin blush appeared on Qingyu’s jade-like cheeks, like rouge dotted on mutton fat.

For the first time, Rod felt Qingyu’s charm.

Tss.

Seems pretty good.

——

Deathwood Forest is a large area west of Trolian, covering over 10,000 square kilometers, precisely blocking the way from Royal City to Great Dragon City.

Without taking Deathwood Forest, it will never be possible to formally incorporate Great Dragon City into Trolian’s territory.

The support teams going to Great Dragon City all take a big detour.

Now, Rod is going to change this situation.

Before departing, he took a nap on the dream realm’s rocking chair to recover some energy.

Then swallowed a portion of Destiny Energy.

The wisp of white energy directly merged into his soul and disappeared.

Rod didn’t feel any change, not knowing if it’s really effective.

"Forget it."

Rod didn’t mind, once the teleportation gate time was up, he flew straight into the depths of Deathwood Forest.

After flying over vast areas of withered trees, Rod finally saw the monster nest in the depths of Deathwood Forest.

It was a bird’s nest-shaped building, covering over 5,000 yards. Inside the nest were graves built with earth and dead wood, filled with rotting nightmare giants.

At a glance, Rod could easily judge them as Strong Level Super Rank Monsters, but he quickly discovered their souls were different.

That was the same deep soul rhythm as a King Level Monster, possessing a King Level Monster’s soul but lacking a Strong Source.

It appeared similar to a Superlimit Monster with a "Divine Soul" but no Root Origin.

Perhaps, it is a King Level Superlimit Monster, a special form of monster that formed around a King Level Monster.

By this calculation, around an "Ancient God," might there also be such Quasi-god level monsters?

If there were, he wouldn’t need to risk hunting those demigods.

Regrettably, the Book of Knowledge answered his query.

Around an Ancient God, similar monsters are also born, but they are called God Spawn, they absolutely do not leave the Ancient God’s vicinity. They are the god’s servants; hunting them is equivalent to hunting the Ancient God.

The best way to obtain a "Divine Soul" is still to slay those demigod existences.

Seems this path is a dead end.

Rod could only regretfully abandon this idea.

But fortunately, Nightmare Giants are indeed of the giant lineage, and the Book of Knowledge revealed their weakness.

Rod’s heart stirred with a vague idea.

Sure enough, when he reached the deepest part of the nest, he immediately saw the largest grave containing a giant over 500 yards long.

It was the King of Giants.

Rod immediately took out the tactical goggles: "Bald Master, quick, do you recognize it?"

Within seconds, the tactical goggles transmitted the shocked voice of Bald Master.

"It’s him, it’s him! Twilight Giant Urtar! One of the twelve Kings of Giants!"

"Lord Rod, you’ve found it! Now, only Omir who built the Royal City remains unaccounted for! He must hide secrets about the Giant Royal Court battle and the Giant Ancestor..."

Rod casually put the tactical goggles away, not wanting any outsiders to witness the upcoming battle.

Whoosh!

Rod took a deep breath, bringing his hands together, and a torrent of destruction swept forth.

In an instant, the "Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies" awakened all the nightmare giants.

Of course, Rod did not use "Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies" to kill the giants, but to awaken them, for that destructive aura was greatly feared by the monsters.

Rumble!

All the nightmare giants rose from the graves, letting out astonishing roars, charging towards Rod.

Rod slightly tilted his hand, and "Spiritual Power Multiple Melodies" hit the Twilight Giant, awakening this leader of King Level Monsters.

"Hahaha! Your doomsday is here!"

Rod descended from the sky into the center of the monster horde.

"King Rod, to suppress this world! Open!"

Slash!

The teleportation gate opened.

Golden fire burst forth, and a boundless fiery sword of destruction engulfed everything.

"Little Rod."

From the teleportation gate, the voice of the King sounded.

"It really is right on time."

Rod rejoiced, "Thanks to you, King!"

"Go on!"

——

Once the teleportation gate closed, the entire nest had been burned to ashes, the powerful nightmare giants turned to dust.

Only the Twilight Giant Urtar remained struggling.

Yet it was at its last gasp, with immense wounds all over it, golden flames burning in its injuries like a stubborn malady, refusing to extinguish, emitting billows of thick black smoke.
