The Last King Of Darkness

When Rod personally found Anna, Jessica, Evelyn, and other Spiritual Women, and personally told them the truth, none of them could believe their ears.

"Is what you said true?" Jessica asked tremblingly: "Are we really the life of the first Epoch?"

Rod nodded with a smile.

At that moment, the Spiritual Women’s eyes turned red, and Evelyn burst into tears: "Waaah, waaah, waaah, it’s so good, we aren’t trash, we aren’t garbage, we aren’t!"

Jessica’s fair little face smiled like blooming flowers, but tears rolled down from her eyes: "Finally, finally waited for this day."

With long red hair, Wendy sighed: "It’s truly unimaginable, there were so many twists and turns along the way, we were initially deemed ominous, but the Archbishop sheltered us, allowing us to quickly advance and become one of the talented ones highly regarded by Trolian. But after becoming sealed monarchs, our advancement slowed drastically, falling far behind other rising stars. Among the Spiritual Woman Group, only a few reached Half King status, and even then only at the initial stage of Half King, without a single High Rank Half King. The expectant gazes turned into skepticism, we transformed from shining stars to gray dust, finally falling into the edge rejected as waste. The most terrifying thing was, even we thought that ourselves—"

She paused and said the rest.

"Did we waste Trolian’s resources and waste the opportunities paid for with the lives of countless warriors, Sir Rod, can you understand such torment?"

Rod remained silent; although he hadn’t experienced it, he could imagine falling from the position of genius is far more painful than being mediocre all along.

"It was you." Wearing a transparent silvery gown thin as gauze and having a white cat-like agile figure, Ilya softly said: "You saved us, Rod, just like Teresa said before, you would save us. We once thought it was a joke. How could such a weak younger brother possibly save us extraordinarily gifted Spiritual Women? Yet after several years, you did it."

Rod looked at her in surprise: "Did Teresa say that? I don’t remember."

The tallest Sandora chuckled: "She did, at the base of the secret branch, I remember very clearly, she told us, she said it was her inspiration."

"Yes, I remember too." Sansa with gem-like shimmering eyes continued: "At that time, she was still your trainer, and during every training session, she would tear open your clothes, letting the sisters watch."

Anna’s cheeks puffed up immediately, expressing dissatisfaction: "Such things happened? How could I not know?"

Jessica wiped her tears dry and smiled: "You weren’t at the base then, Anna, you suffered more oppression than us, but unexpectedly, you are the strongest one. From now on, you’ll be the Leader of the Spiritual Woman Group."

Anna seemed somewhat overwhelmed: "Isn’t it inappropriate? Am I capable?"

"You are capable, definitely capable." New Moon with skin as tender as if breakable with a blow smiled: "From now on, our Spiritual Woman Group is famed for toughness, and undoubtedly you are the toughest warrior among us, so you becoming the group leader is most suitable."

Anna covered her cheeks, unable to speak but unconsciously showing a silly smile. At this moment, the smallest and cutest Ilya suddenly asked: "Why is it that Anna who inherited the most advances so slowly? Why did we encounter such big advancement problems later on?"

In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge turned pages: "According to the information provided by Asa, the reason should be the very special Soul Ripple of Spirit Demons. If the special method is not followed for practice, the Source Law of [Magic Release] will severely affect the soul’s advancement, imprisoning the Soul Body like a cold prison. Especially upon reaching the Strong Source level, the stronger the Strength, the deeper the Imprisonment. And Anna, due to inheriting a large amount of Soul Ripple, faced strong Imprisonment from the start, so she became the slowest in advancing among everyone."

Asa opened his eyes and said: "That’s right, they’re quite special, advancement and practice must adhere to a special rule, particularly concerning the recovery of Soul Ripple. It must be like an entire large-scale Soul Blueprint recovery ceremony. Most importantly, their connection must be tight, reaching a state of me in you, you in me, similar to Holy Fire and Guardian, the original body and Derivative alike."

Rod slightly furrowed his brows.

"What does it mean to be me in you, you in me?"

This is not only Rod’s question but also the question raised by the Spiritual Women after he conveyed the words of the Book of Knowledge and Asa.

Sandora with snow-white flawless, at least playful for ten years, long legs asked discontentedly: "Isn’t our connection tight enough? From the beginning, we felt our distinctness and uniqueness, specially forming the Spiritual Woman Group, becoming close sisters. Whether in battle or practice, we are mostly together, how much tighter do we need to be?"

After a few seconds, Rod replied: "Not enough, your souls need to resonate, your spirits need to recall. From now on, your clothing, food, housing, and transportation must be all together. During most times, no barrier can exist among you, especially during practice and advancement periods."
