The Last King Of Darkness

Rod frowned slightly, feeling astonished, similarly, Asa found it difficult to understand.

"Ack shouldn’t have this ability, could it be the work of Evil Thought Alan?"

For some reason, Rod suddenly thought of the Sun Knight, who had been secretly harmed by the Doomsday believers back then, his soul severely corrupted, laying beneath the Royal City for twenty years until he gained Rod’s Demon Dragon’s Heart and was reborn.

Although harming human genius is what Ancient Evil Thoughts and Doomsday believers commonly do, strangely, the methods of these two incidents were incredible, ultimately no culprits were found.

"Is it my illusion? Why do I always feel these things are unusual?"

Rod pondered.

"Perhaps it’s Evil Thought Alan that never appeared before."

Chaotic thoughts passed fleetingly, Rod skillfully completed the arrangement for the Ascension Ceremony.

"Olivia, please step into the center of the ceremony, relax, lower your soul’s defenses, and fully perceive everything you experience in the Ascension Ceremony."

"Bossivale, follow me, after the ceremony starts, assist me in controlling the ascension airflow, pay attention to my operational details, every wash is a spiritual sublimation, having a crucial effect on the ceremony’s outcome."

Once everything was in place, Rod pressed his hands on the core of the ceremony, injecting Spiritual Energy.

A flash of light appeared before him, Rod felt a strong repelling force pushing back the Spiritual Energy, and his vision returned to normal.

"Failed?"

Rod looked at the Ascension Ceremony in surprise, the ceremony did not change at all, this indicated the ceremony was lacking some necessary condition, unable to successfully initiate.

"Did I miss some Element?"

Bossivale found it unbelievable, "Such a low-level mistake, neither you nor I could possibly make."

Upon careful inspection, there was no omission, yet the same thing happened again during the ceremony.

In the Dream Realm, Rod asked, "Book, what’s going on?"

The Book of Knowledge mused for a moment, "Master, if I am not mistaken, the feedback from the Ascension Ceremony indicates a lack of subject, meaning the target of the Ascension Ceremony is not within the ceremony."

Rod exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? Isn’t Olivia standing in the ceremony?"

At this moment, the Book of the Future suddenly said, "This Moon Knight Olivia is not a complete soul, her fate trajectory has some lack, I guess the Ascension Ceremony might consider her as a residual soul, and residual souls cannot undergo the Ascension Ceremony."

Rod’s heart sank, "How could this be? Then what should I do?"

The Book of Knowledge flipped through its pages, pondered, "Master, try to initiate another Ascension Ceremony, let the Dark Moon Princess also step in, then perform the dual ceremonies simultaneously, perhaps it will be effective."

In Rod’s heart, he guessed vaguely this might be due to the special relationship between them.

He followed the advice of the Book of Knowledge, arranged another Ascension Ceremony, letting the Dark Moon Princess step in.

After pondering for a moment, he summoned his own Phantom, to stand within the ceremony, allowing him to conduct both ceremonies simultaneously.

Olivia appeared very nervous, "Rod, is this okay?"

Rod smiled, "Don’t worry, Bossivale is here, he’ll assist me."

Bossivale nodded solemnly.

"Let’s begin, prepare to accept ascension."

Olivia glanced at the Dark Moon Princess, expressing a relaxed expression, then closed her eyes.

The next second, Rod and the Phantom half-kneeled on the ground simultaneously, their hands touching the core of the ceremony, and both Ascension Ceremonies lit up simultaneously.

Strong ripples spread outward, instantly submerging their minds in the endless Spiritual Ocean.

The Ascension Ceremony began.

Bossivale nervously controlled the flow of the spirit, carefully observing Rod’s operations, his movements extremely gentle, yet incredibly precise, with a slight flick of his fingers, the spirit’s flow rushed into their souls.

The whole process was like flowing clouds and running water, full of harmony and spirituality.

Until the ceremony ended, Bossivale still immersed in that perfect operation, but very quickly, a huge spiritual power wave woke him up.

Bossivale’s eyes widened as he shouted, "Level 17 Spiritual Power Wave? Great Monarch? This, just one Ascension Ceremony advanced to Great Monarch?"

Olivia looked at her hands, murmuring, "The Moonlight trembles within my soul, I can sense the presence of the moon, it’s calling to me."

"Sister, me too," the Dark Moon Princess said softly, shimmering light flickering around him, "The quiet dark moon is establishing connection with my spirit."

In the Dream Realm, the Book of the Future shouted, "Master, quickly, immediately initiate the second round! I see the endless moonlight, that’s the descending silver moon!"

Rod immediately shouted, "Olivia, Dark Moon, can the ceremony still continue?"

Bossivale urgently asked, "Do we need to continue? No need to rest?"

Olivia hesitated, then replied, "Yes!"

The Dark Moon Princess also softly said, "I’m alright, Lord Rod."

Rod immediately started arranging the second round of the Ascension Ceremony. Due to the range of required Elements, the second round was far more complex than the first.

But for Rod, this was not a problem, and quickly, the second round of the Ascension Ceremony began.

Bossivale felt his mind being torn by a strong pressure, he gritted his teeth and fully assisted Rod.
