The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 376 - 265: Wander

Chapter 376: Chapter 265: Wander

Having discovered the attack early on, Molly convened a strategy meeting.

This was also a standard procedure for Trolian, as fighting a battle prepared and unprepared were entirely different matters.

During the meeting.

After examining the information about the monster, everyone’s face turned grim, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Rod’s kite-flying tactic for killing Unclean Ghost Spirits had just become a classic that everyone ought to learn when suddenly a powerful monster immune to the kite-flying strategy appeared.

At this moment, everyone was firmly convinced that someone was deliberately causing sabotage and luring monsters to attack Star Town.

O’Hara slammed the table furiously and exclaimed, "Those scumbags, I’d better not find them! Otherwise, I’ll chop them into mincemeat and can them! One serving a year!"

Conrad said in a deep voice, "I’m not afraid of strong monsters, what I fear is someone stabbing me in the back!"

Beowood spoke with a dark expression, "This matter should be reported immediately, the Internal Affairs Court must intervene without delay, and the Royal City must dispatch high-rank combatants to defend Star Town right away."

The crowd chimed in unison, "We must root out these pests!"

Reslin and others abhorred such acts intensely, wishing they could immediately return to the Royal City and flay and grind up those culprits.

Only Rod remained unruffled, chuckling, "Don’t be angry, these maggots will die sooner or later, but isn’t it a good thing to have them work hard for us before they die?"

People looked at Rod in surprise.

Only Molly stood calmly behind him, with a serious expression and a firm gaze, showing no sign of surprise.

Vivian whispered, "Lord Rod, if it comes to a head-on fight, no one here can handle a strong monster."

"And the Giant Decay Walker is the most troublesome among strong monsters. It may not be powerful, but it has an incredible pollution effect. Middle and low-rank combatants can’t get close at all, and high-rank combatants will be severely infected if they kill it."

Rod expressed his astonishment, "What did you guys do when you encountered it before?"

Vivian explained, "We would typically use the Super Giant Bed Crossbow or the Super Spiritual Power Giant Cannon for long-range engagement to eliminate it."

The Master of Defense raised his voice, "I’ve been suggesting to you all to build a Super Spiritual Power Cannon!"

Molly pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and said in an emotionless voice.

"The total cost of the Super Spiritual Power Cannon is over two hundred million silver coins, with an eighty-thousand-silver-coin price tag per shot. Given Star Town’s current output, it cannot afford it."

The Master of Defense angrily argued, "If not for the Super Spiritual Power Cannon, what about the super-sized main city Giant Crossbow?"

"Ten million silver coins per unit, still too expensive."

"Is this about money?"

"Yes."

The Master of Defense’s beard bristled with anger, his eyes bulging like a bull’s, but Molly remained unmoved.

An idea struck Rod, and he asked, "Mr. Big Stick, what is a main city-level Giant Crossbow like?"

The Master of Defense snorted, "It’s three stories high, as wide as five horse carriages, cast from spiritual energy infused steel, with winches made from steel cables five fingers wide, and equipped with a Black Iron True Silver bolt longer than this room. The sound wave it emits upon firing can burst eardrums, and it has a maximum range of twelve thousand yards, capable of piercing defenses equivalent to a spiritual energy strength of 8,000 kiloticks."

Rod did some mental calculations; a strength of 8,000 kiloticks of spiritual power is above Level 10 and below Level 11.

Strong monsters typically have a spiritual power strength of Level 10.

"Not bad," Rod turned to Molly with a smile, "Let’s build one."

Without a moment’s hesitation, Molly replied, "Okay."

The Master of Defense immediately brightened up with a grin, "As expected of Lord Rod, the man who can win a bet against me, indeed reliable."

O’Hara hurriedly said, "Lord Rod, isn’t it too late to build it now?"

Rod chuckled, "Who said I’m going to use the city crossbow to kill the monster?"

The crowd looked at one another, perplexed.

Anna muttered, "Are you planning to use your own spiritual energy giant cannon?"

Rod scratched his head, "The spiritual energy giant cannon hasn’t been upgraded for a long time; it might not be powerful enough."

O’Hara commented, "Lord Rod, we don’t have many long-range combatants here, and their range is typically within two hundred steps, they couldn’t possibly hit the Giant Decay Walker."

Rod grinned, "Why don’t you believe in me?"

The conference room fell silent for a while, everyone with something to say but hesitating, turned their gaze to Molly.

Molly pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and asked with gravity, "Lord Rod, are you planning to confront it yourself?"

"Yep," Rod replied.

"Do we need to do anything?"

"Clap your hands."

Clap, clap, clap, clap.

"Alright, meeting adjourned, let’s move out."

Molly packed up the documents on the table and walked out.

Everyone was stupefied.

Rod also stood up and stretched leisurely.

"Let’s go."

But just as he was about to step out, O’Hara and Vivian both grabbed him.

"Lord Rod, do you know how severely polluting the Giant Decay Walker is?"

"Its corruption miasma is vast, and even high-rank combatants with full protective gear can’t stay in it for a quarter of an hour."

Rod smiled gently, "I know, rest assured, my resistance is even stronger, and no form of pollution can corrode me."

Karamon and the others suddenly realized the situation.

"That’s right!"

He exclaimed aloud.

"Brother Rod is the Black Eater, the worse the environment, the stronger his combat power. He’s best at roaming through the sewers; he’s single-handedly cleaned the sewers of the Royal City, and every Doomsday believer hiding there year-round has been left without a trace by him."

"He is the King of the Sewers."

Rod’s face immediately darkened; couldn’t you just forget about this embarrassing history?

Many who were out of the loop were hearing this for the first time and gathered around excitedly.

"Is it true?"

"Is the legend about Lord Rod starting from the sewers true?"

"I heard there are two Sewer Kings, is that right?"

"Isn’t Fire Spark supposed to be a black eater? Why does he have so many abilities?"

Amidst the torrent of discussion, Rod simply ran away.

After all, he’s the one to kill that monster.

Rod had this thought because when he finished looking at the intelligence, he discovered that although the giant Corrupt Walker was highly polluted, its body was much more fragile than other strong monsters. Its Spiritual Power Level was only Ninth Level, lower than the normal Primary Rank of Strong monsters.

Because of the presence of humanity, he had no fear of any curse, corruption, or pollution and was able to negate their effects.

His humanity had now broken through one million, and if it wasn’t for the book commanding an expansion of the Obelisk’s capacity once again, it wouldn’t have been able to contain so much.

One million humanity could fully support him to swim freely in the pollution.

Not afraid of the pollution from the giant Corrupt Walker, its intrinsic weakness was fully exposed.

Rod had already prepared the Condensed Light, with all one hundred Spirit Realm Bullets loaded, and the Dream Realm items were also at the ready.

I must win!

Rod rushed out of Star Town and from a distance saw a large mass of Black Fog, a sticky ocean of blackness, rushing towards them, and the twelve-legged giant monster slowly moving in the middle of the ocean.

An astounding corruption struck him in the face, the intense pollution making the surrounding black fog seem dim in comparison.

But Rod was not the least bit afraid and jumped directly into the black ocean.

The sticky black matter instantly enveloped him but failed to obscure his vision.

His humanity began to drop sharply, but the seven-digit number paid no mind to the fluctuations at the end.

Just in case, Rod used a "Flesh Armor."

A brown flesh wrapped around him.

It burned the soul of a "Soul Without Spirit" and gained its regenerative bone growth ability.

White bones embedded themselves into the flesh.

In this way, a super Armor that was both bone and flesh was formed.

Rod also prepared an "Undying Spirit" just in case and then charged toward the monster in the center of the black ocean.

He drew out the Condensed Light and pressed on a Spirit Realm Bullet that was loaded with one hundred Sealing Spirit Bullets.

Spiritual Energy swiftly poured into the gun, bright as light, and just before the energy was about to overflow, he broke the seal on the Spirit Realm Bullet, raised the muzzle, and aimed at the belly of the giant Corrupt Walker.

Boom!

The Condensed Light fired.

The Spirit Realm Bullet, dragging a trail of pure blue, struck the giant Corrupt Walker squarely.

The impact of one hundred Sealing Spirit Bullets erupted, shaking the entire black ocean, and a huge ripple spread out. The soul of the giant Corrupt Walker suffered an unprecedented impact, its Spiritual Energy circulation became sluggish, and its Spiritual Defense grew weak.

But no vulnerability appeared.

The giant Corrupt Walker slowly turned around, its enormous body shook once, and it suddenly ejected numerous black threads.

They writhed in the black ocean like some kind of giant parasites, shooting rapidly towards Rod.

Rod was very good at dodging, but his Spiritual Power Level was only five, and his speed couldn’t keep up, getting hit by the parasites repeatedly.

They had terrifying mouthparts on their heads, fortunately blocked by the bone and flesh Armor.

Rod felt it was not good and turned his head to run wildly.

The parasites pursued relentlessly, their speed unexpectedly faster than his.

This black corrupt fog has resistance... A thought flashed through Rod’s mind. His arms immediately began to paddle, his legs kicked out, and he actually started swimming.

There’s such a thing as this?

Rod was overjoyed and directly floated to the surface, his arms churning like windmills, legs kicking wildly, and his speed instantly surpassed the parasites.

Great!

"I’ll just take them for a spin, and when the Condensed Light is fully charged, I’ll get close and give it to them all at once."

"Five shots at most, and I can expose a Soul vulnerability, then finish it off in one scoop."

Ha-ha, I’m truly a genius.

Rod swam ecstatically through the black sea.

But what he didn’t know was that, in the distant Black Fog, three figures with red glowing eyes were once again having their worldviews shattered by his actions.

Levill’s eyes nearly popped out, his tone full of disbelief.

"Is he actually swimming in the corruption Black Fog of a giant rot walker?"

Krama felt like he had lived the past fifty years in vain: "This can’t be possible! I don’t believe it!"

Amoli was even more incensed: "What exactly is he? Is this one of Theodore’s last Soul Ripples? Does he have that many Soul Ripples?"

On the other side, at the edge of Star Town.

The expeditionary Combatant cluster, the Black Battle Group, the team leaders of the defense forces of Star Town, everyone was stupefied.

Reslin said dumbfoundedly, "I’m really stupid. I always thought his swimming in a sea of excrement was fake, and even argued with people over it."

Egger was completely shocked: "Is this the legendary Black Iron glutton?"

Anna’s girlish heart was completely shattered. She had already envisioned Rod as the Prince on the White Spirit Horse in her heart, and even decided on the name for their third child.

Now that thought was completely gone.

He had completely become a mere comrade-in-arms, a respected hero.

Karamon suddenly sighed deeply: "Worthy of being brother Rod, no wonder he has so many girlfriends, I admit defeat."

Beowood, on the other hand, was excited: "Brother Rod is amazing, I’m going to find him some of the finest girls after this."

A flash of Bright Light in Molly’s eyes, she gently pushed up her glasses and under a serious expression, who knows what else she was thinking.

Vivian and others were unphased, earnestly recording all the strange aspects of Rod.

Only Aluo was a bit worried: "What if Rod doesn’t have enough Spiritual Energy?"

While everyone had their thoughts, Rod had already swam around for the fifth time, diving down sharply, with the Condensed Light aimed at the spot he had attacked before.

Boom!

The Spirit Realm Bullet hit the giant rot walker dead-on.

A hundredfold Spiritual Power Shock finally created a gaping hole in its Spiritual Energy, revealing the Soul’s vulnerability.

The giant rot walker let out a wail, collapsing to the ground.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! I knew I’d win!"

In the midst of laughter, Rod raised his right hand, leaped forward, with the scythelike pattern on the back of his hand flashing by, the translucent palm shoved fiercely into the Soul vulnerability.

Thud.

As if a muffled thud came from the Void, Rod withdrew his palm, severing its Soul thread.

It collapsed like a pile of rotten meat, the black fog falling from the sky, dissipating as quickly as snow under a scorching sun, countless black particles flying from the body and vanishing into the air.
