The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 1846 - 837: The Moment Humanity Takes a Step Forward

This time, the Great Shepherd remained silent for a long time.

"Rhein, Lord Solos cannot return; the battles in the Dead Zone concern the safety of all of Saint Longde. If we don’t succeed, we will face a very terrifying disaster, which the City of Prophecy has long confirmed."

On the way here, Rod heard Rhein say that Saint Longde is engaged in three campaigns: the Fallen Ship, the Endless Sea, and the Dead Zone.

But the specifics are unclear; it’s also unclear why Rhein wants the strongest of Saint Longde to return.

"Great Shepherd." Rhein said urgently, "I have encountered something extremely terrifying in Troli."

Using the simplest language, he told the Great Shepherd about how he and Rod jointly killed the Black Fog Primordial Body. This was something that should have been shared earlier, but aiding Troli was an urgent priority, which delayed it until now.

Upon hearing the words "Black Fog Primordial Body," the Great Shepherd’s expression noticeably became grave, evidenced by the accelerated writhing of the Flesh Throne.

After hearing the entire process, the Great Shepherd asked in a deep voice, "Are you certain it’s the Black Fog Primordial Body?"

Rhein said resolutely, "Absolutely certain, there is no possibility of mistake; its Black Fog power far exceeds that of a typical Black Fog Symbiont. Its influence range on the Black Fog spans at least a million yards, and at its birth, the initial Black Fog was present."

The Great Shepherd fell silent.

"How could you possibly defeat the Black Fog Primordial Body?"

Rod, surprised, asked, "Doesn’t that Black Fog Primordial Body only possess two parts of the Primordial Law? Isn’t Rhein said to be unmatched below five parts of Primordial strength? Although I haven’t concentrated Primordial, I have more than 30 parts of Root Origin, so why couldn’t I kill the Black Fog Primordial Body?"

The Great Shepherd gently shook his head.

"Lord Rod, the Black Fog Primordial Body is the most powerful Black Fog entity existence. Other than the King of Darkness, there is no stronger Black Fog entity than it; it is the condensation of the Black Fog’s will, the peak of the expansive Black Fog, even possessing part of the power of the Black Fog’s rules. The Primordial Law does not represent its strength, because the Black Fog grants it greater power. Not to mention just the two of you, even if all the Church Knights and Execution Team members combined couldn’t contend with a Black Fog Primordial Body."

Rhein also said, "In Saint Longde, if we were to delve into the darkness to face a Black Fog Primordial Body, we would need at least five of the Ten Swords, or have Lord Solos present."

"The Ten Swords?"

"They are the ten most powerful warriors in Saint Longde, known as the Ten Swords in the hands of the Fire Saint Emperor. I am the Steel Fire King Sword, ranked ninth, the only non-Primordial warrior among the Ten Swords, and Romano, the Dragon Slayer supporting Troli, is the Dragon Sword, ranked eighth, with Lord Solos the Destruction Sword, ranked first. Except for me, all others are second-rank Primordial strong individuals."

Rhein paused for a moment and continued.

"And the absolute strength of the Black Fog Primordial Body we killed should surpass mine by tenfold. If it weren’t for your premonition, I would never have chosen to battle it."

Rod furrowed his brow, thinking that there was no way he could have killed that Black Fog Primordial Body, could it be because my abilities happen to counter it?

Though indeed true, is there no other reason?

Rhein and the Great Shepherd both focused their gaze on him, clearly awaiting his response.

Rod pondered for a while, suddenly recalling the description in the soul of the Black Fog Primordial Body. It was the Ancient Death God Hastar, betrayed and fallen at Godoyin Sacred Mountain, its residual soul lingering beneath the Dark Throne, only transforming into a Black Fog Primordial Body over endless ages.

"Book, Asa, do you think it’s possible that Hastar has a residual trace of intellect, influencing the Black Fog Primordial Body from within, causing its eventual defeat?"

The Book of Knowledge fell into contemplation immediately; it’s not impossible. In fact, they have encountered several instances where mighty beings are difficult to completely erase, especially under the protection of the Star Source.

The Book of the Future pondered, "Master, I cannot be certain, but at the moment it appeared, I indeed sensed a hint of a victory opportunity. This monster is indeed significantly connected to Eternal Night."

"Having a connection doesn’t necessarily mean killing it will end Eternal Night." The Book of Knowledge said, "Master, it’s better to ask the people of Saint Longde; the Book of the Future has not yet healed from its injuries, and your fate trajectory has not fully restored, it cannot predict right now. Also, the City of Prophecy in Saint Longde is powerful and trustworthy."

Rod nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Great Shepherd, I actually have a kind of ability to obtain some information from the souls of monsters I kill. This Black Fog Primordial Body is no exception; I got some information from its soul."

At this moment, Rod clearly felt a change in the demeanor of the two people; the air became heavy.

Rhein’s expression looked extremely shocked, "How is this possible? How can you have such an ability? Lord Rod, what kind of existence are you?"

With an unprecedentedly grave voice, the Great Shepherd asked, "Lord Rod, what did you obtain from the soul of the Black Fog Primordial Body?"

Rhein perked up his ears; the Black Fog Primordial Body is Saint Longde’s nightmare, a major enemy of humanity; the information within its soul piqued everyone’s interest.

Rod deliberated his words, using another form to describe the soul of the Black Fog Primordial Body.
