The Last King Of Darkness-Chapter 854 - 466 Unease

In the next moment, Rod felt an overpowering surge of Spiritual Energy suddenly rush up from underground.

"So it’s underground!"

Rod suddenly realized in his heart, no wonder he had gone in circles several times in this area.

Olivia’s perception was sharper than his, discovering the monster’s tracks first and entering a combat state.

Her characteristic was related to moonlight, always spreading moonlight across the earth before a battle.

A few seconds later, several streams of black smoke sprayed out from the ground, shooting into the sky like black spears, converging and merging in the air.

"Watch out!"

Olivia’s voice came from the moonlight.

As soon as the voice fell, the black smoke exploded, black flames raining down from the sky.

Rod quickly grabbed Mephit’s hand and flashed backward; these black flames carried an extremely evil aura, and he instinctively felt they must not be touched.

His speed was incredibly fast, his figure nearly leaving afterimages, but the black flames seemed to have a life of their own, casting over him like a large net.

The next moment, the moonlight intensified, drowning all the black flames.

At the same time, a moonlight giant sword, several hundred yards long, appeared in midair, slashing down with imposing momentum.

The pure white light obscured all vision, with only Rod able to vaguely see Olivia’s flickering figure.

The overwhelming wave of Spiritual Energy hit him, making it hard to breathe.

As a Special Level Combatant, one of the four Great Knight Captains, Olivia’s Spiritual Power Level had reached the threshold of the Fourteen Level. She possessed the highest level of Moon Characteristic, fully mastering the corresponding Moon Source Law, so much so that moonlight seemed to have fused with her, becoming one. She could transform into moonlight at any time, and the moonlight could become her at any moment.

The area illuminated by moonlight was where her domain covered.

Rod knew that in high-level combat, domain was a crucial factor.

Within one’s own domain, the master had all the advantages, while the enemy was heavily suppressed.

Although the Black Fog Symbiont was also at the Fourteen Level in Spiritual Energy, without possessing a Source and not having control of a Strong Source, it had no authority of the Sea of Source, unable to open a domain, only able to be passively beaten within Olivia’s Moon Domain.

The outcome of the battle was determined from the start, the only difference being how much effort Olivia had to exert and how much Spiritual Energy she consumed.

Outside the Moon Domain, Rod sensed the state of the Black Fog Symbiont, silently calculating its time of death while having the spare capacity to ask, "Mephit, why aren’t you helping Olivia this time?"

Mephit’s silvery eyes glanced at him, "The Moon Domain has fully opened. That space is her space. Others’ laws cannot intrude."

"Law" here refers to "decrees and principles," generally used to express the actual effect of Source Law.

Characteristics are the projection of Source Law, and using the term law is not incorrect. However, given Mephit’s Combat Level, it’s strange she understands this.

Rod, surprised, asked, "Is that the case? But even in an enemy’s domain, I can still use my characteristics?"

As soon as he said this, he saw Mephit giving him a very strange look.

"A monster capable of opening a domain is at least a Quasi-King Level monster. Have you battled a Quasi-King Level monster?"

Rod choked for a moment. He was actually referring to his battle with the Dark Stars.

That battle still haunted him with its lingering fear. The Dark Stars’ immense power, its modification and establishment of laws within its domain, caused him considerable trouble.

If not for the help of a King encountered during an accidental journey to the high-level Spirit Realm, he likely wouldn’t have survived.

Upon reflecting, Rod suddenly realized that the Dream Realm had also appeared several times in Trolian’s vision, but he didn’t know how they perceived it.

Hopefully, they wouldn’t guess the connection between the Dream Realm and him.

On second thought, Rod also discovered a problem: Why did the Dark Stars become a Quasi-King Level monster without having a Strong Source?

"Mephit, what is the standard for Quasi-King Level?"

Mephit answered succinctly.

"When one frees themselves from the constraints of the Strong Level, as long as they obtain a Strong Source, they become a King Level monster."

"Already having a Strong Source, as long as they break free from constraints, they become a King Level monster."

Rod stiffened, recalling the Book of Knowledge once said if the Dark Stars possessed a Strong Source, it would be a true King Level.

So, with the strength of a Third Level combatant, he had defeated a Quasi-King Level monster?

Even though it was within the Dream Realm, with the Dream Realm’s strong suppression and the help of divine puppets and the Evil Ghost King, it was indeed by relying on his strength that he defeated the Dark Stars, with others playing only a minor supporting role.

Am I really that strong?

No, no, that’s not right. I need to stay humble, not become arrogant.

Rod thought.

It must be the strong suppression of the Dream Realm over the monster.

Rod remembered that the Dream Realm at that time consumed 100 points of Divinity-enhanced power.

The enhancement limit of the Dream Realm was only 120 points, with 100 points of Divinity enhancement nearing the maximum. However, the Dream Realm was weak at that time, far from complete and without as much Source Energy as now.

So.

In the end, was it still my strength?

Hahaha, I was able to defeat such a powerful monster when I was weak. Now that I’m so strong, isn’t the invasion of the Soul Devouring King trivial?

Yes, that must be it.

However, this matter shouldn’t be told to Mephit. Rod’s eyes shifted as he nodded and said, "Right, I once fought alongside Alan, and together we battled through an ancient hall seven times, and with my great assistance, Alan was able to find the source of the disaster in Wind City and eliminate the threat."
