The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 1730 - 800: Light in Desperation

At this moment, Rod felt an ominous premonition rising in his heart, but he quickly dispelled it.

He was more concerned about the prophecy Iyeta had just mentioned.

"Sir Iyeta, you just said that not long ago, you prophesied that I would bring disaster to Trolian?"

Iyeta said solemnly, "Yes."

Rod’s heart sank; is this the disaster I brought?

Indeed.

If it weren’t for me, Horus couldn’t have entered that area, and since he couldn’t enter, he wouldn’t have unlocked the seal.

Not only that, he immediately thought that before the awakening of the human demon, the Book of Knowledge had desperately urged him to flee.

But he didn’t listen, because he knew it was difficult to persuade Horus under such circumstances, and he couldn’t leave Horus behind, but now looking back, if he used "intuition" as an excuse, he might have been able to persuade them to leave.

More importantly, in recent years, this series of victories, these countless miracles, this unimaginable massive improvement, gave them too much confidence, making them believe that no hardship could defeat them.

Horus was willing to open the seal because of this confidence.

And these miracles and victories have a lot to do with him.

If it weren’t for him, Trolian wouldn’t have been so smooth sailing; a suitable setback could have broken their inflated confidence, and they might not have been so reckless, and today’s situation might not have happened.

If viewed like this, then he is the main culprit of this disaster.

However, at this moment, the Book of the Future firmly said, "Master, this is absolutely not your fault."

"I have a premonition that this is sealed fate. Even if you did not go to the Human Demon Tomb, and even if you did not start the war to reclaim Taranor, the seal would still be lifted. Horus once said that the sealing is very fragile, shattering at a touch, indicating it’s very old. Maybe if Horus waited a bit, it would soon be released."

Rod said in a low voice, "But Asa said he smelled the conspiracy of evil thoughts; our inflated confidence and blind impulsiveness might be controlled by evil thoughts. Even if Horus was controlled, it’s because of me."

Asa immediately said, "Master, I did not say Horus was controlled; there are no signs of control in his soul. On the contrary, I felt an undeniable strong will from him; some remaining traces indicate that after Ak’s death, some entity tried to influence him but failed. His confidence came from within; your archbishop genuinely believes that Trolian and humanity will defeat the darkness, just like I believe in you, Master."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"I smelled the scent of conspiracy, indicating there is evil thought or similar entity’s influence in this matter, but how they influenced it, I do not know."

Rod pondered, "Is evil thought Alan so powerful?"

Asa shook his head, "No, it doesn’t have to be evil thought Alan. I increasingly feel there is something similar to evil thought but more hidden and terrifying affecting us...Ak might have had contact with it; once I thoroughly digest Ak’s memory, I might know what it is."

Rod instantly thought of the corruption of the Sun Knight and the incident with Olivia’s brother.

The common point of these two events is that they are both bizarre, unbelievable, and both interrupted Trolian’s potential rise.

They were once thought to be the work of ancient evil thoughts or doomsday believers, but later it was discovered that neither Ak nor Ahe had such abilities.

They didn’t have it, does another evil thought leader Alan possess it?

Is there a stronger evil thought?

This question currently has no answer; Rod can only keep it in his heart.

The human demon crisis is imminent; how to face this destruction crisis is the most important.

At this point, Iyeta suddenly asked, "What exactly are the invading monsters? Why are they so strong in the prophecy’s perception?"

Rod pondered for a moment, letting the Fire Priest raise the defenses of the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, entering the highest alert status.

When the surging Holy Fire cast golden light into this space, a powerful Fire Domain repelled all hidden and invisible darkness, and everyone’s souls were immersed in the light and fire paradise.

Rod then told them everything about the human demon.

After learning it was an unknown existence—the humanity split and corrupted by the mysterious ancestor, everyone’s expressions changed unpredictably.

Jelaba asked, "Is the mysterious ancestor an ancient god?"

Iyeta shook his head, "Our understanding of ancient gods is very limited; in no records has its name appeared, but due to human demon, the mysterious shadow that was born has many records; legends say that’s the source of mysterious calamity, every time it appears, it signifies disaster and destruction."

Rod said solemnly, "The true source of mysterious calamity is the human demon; all disasters destroyed by mysterious are caused by it, and the initial form of mysterious shadow is ’unrevealed mysterious shadow,’ they feed on human evil, in the current human weakening, they have become extremely weak, reportedly only one percent of the peak period’s strength."

Everyone was shocked; the mysterious shadows they encountered were extremely powerful, at least strong king level monsters, if stronger by a hundred folds, wouldn’t that be stronger than ancient gods?
