The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 845 - 462: The Journey of Slaughter

It’s indeed the Great Star Priest!

Previously at Death Ridge, Rod encountered a Great Star Priest, and it kept chanting similar words.

For a monster to use human language, even if it’s just meaningless repetition, is a very rare occurrence.

A true monster is a completely chaotic being, unable to produce any meaningful tone other than mad whispers. The few monsters with similar abilities only launch mental attacks; essentially, it’s a product of your own soul’s imagination, unrelated to the monster itself.

The Great Star Priest hiding deep underground in Death Ridge is such a peculiar existence, seemingly immersed in the powerful Illusion Realm of the Starry Kingdom, mistaking everyone for invading monsters, continuously summoning undead monsters to eliminate them.

Its power is extremely strong, summoning Undead Banshees which are at least Super Rank Second Tier monsters, able to lift Death Ridge formed by dozens of mountain peaks, and even summon meteors.

If Rod hadn’t used [Blank] to sustain [Giant God Power] infinitely and pierced through its spiritual defense, everyone would have died back then.

Most unexpectedly, the Great Star Priest seemed to awaken before death, giving up resistance and uttered a bizarre statement, mistaking him for a certain "Prince", saying "the Queen has awaited him for a long time".

And "North Prince, Floral Black Geaor on the Frosty Shore" was indeed the previous Master of Dreams.

Consequently, Rod deeply suspects that there is some connection between the Starry Kingdom and the previous Master of Dreams. At one point, he even believed that a certain demi divine artifact of the Starry Knight Order was a gift to the Starry Queen.

However, for some reason, both the puppet and the Book of Knowledge now hold a negative view.

This also serves as another purpose for Rod’s journey to Starry Sky City—perhaps to find information related to the Dream Realm here.

"Commander."

Guardian Ye Feng raised his voice.

"You should be aware of the Death Ridge battle, right? It was exactly the same as the Great Star Priest we encountered."

Liszt nodded slightly: "Once I detected its presence, I immediately connected it with the Death Ridge battle."

Guardian Fei Xue curiously asked: "Why can it speak?"

Horus replied solemnly: "The Great Star Priests of the Starry Kingdom might have mastered some mysterious power, which prevents them from being fully corrupted, similar to the Unawakened. Of course, the Unawakened are essentially human, our comrades and allies, while the Great Star Priests are undoubtedly the Fallen, monsters with Dark Souls."

"Do we have to keep avoiding its spiritual roars?" Ye Feng asked: "At Death Ridge, its roars had no effect."

Liszt answered gravely: "Yes, my spirit tells me that there is a feedback mechanism in its spiritual roar, and it might detect our presence."

"According to our speculations, among the Starry Council, the power of the ten Great Star Priests approaches King Level, but only the Main Star Priest has truly mastered the Strong Source power. Its spiritual energy is estimated to exceed Fifteenth Level, extremely potent."

"Considering the Great Star Priest at Death Ridge, it would require at least three Special Level combat powers to possibly kill it, the ripple effects of the battle cannot be controlled, and once combat begins, it is very likely to cause a disturbance in an entire region."

"Therefore, we must avoid its spiritual roar; when the roar is imminent, just hide underground or behind a thick enough cover to avoid detection."

Guardian Chucher asked: "What if we are discovered?"

Liszt paused, then calmly replied: "The best way is to die before it arrives."

Silence fell over the group, leaving only the voice of this Investigation Legion’s Commander.

"Remember, during the first clock hour at noon, and the second clock hour at night, regardless of what you are doing, please find a cover."

Everyone had a solemn expression, many taking out their pocket watches to note down these two times.

Fire Son Jelaba laughed and said: "It doesn’t matter if we can’t die, just confront it."

He patted his chest, the heavy armor making a clang sound.

"Besides the King’s Heart, we have our trump cards, everyone don’t worry."

Rod inexplicably felt a sense of relief, but his memory of those two moments became even more profound.

However, he hesitated, unsure whether to recount the final battle with the Great Star Priest—at that time, the Great Star Priest obviously sensed his identity as the Master of Dreams and gave up resisting.

Otherwise, even nine hundred seconds of [Giant God Power] wouldn’t have been enough to pierce its spiritual defenses.

But given that this information is related to the Dream Realm, Rod is also uncertain if the Main Star Priest would be the same.

Better to follow their strategic deployment, Rod thought.

Do not create complications. The Main Star Priest’s state is very strange, and even if it’s killed, a powerful soul won’t be obtained.

The Great Star Priest at Death Ridge was so strong, and killing it only yielded a soul as tiny as dust. Fortunately, the Evil Ghost King required the soul of a human strongman, so Rod threw it into the Evil Ghost Stone Tank, otherwise it held no value.

I just need to slay the Queen, that’s all that matters.

Divinity is what’s most important.

If the mission fails, not only would I fail to acquire new divinity, all the previously arduously gathered divinity would be lost too.

Rod took a deep breath, planning to keep a low profile and fight alongside the group, saving more trump cards for the final battle.

——

The battle within Starry Sky City commenced quickly.
