Chapter 1001 Phoenix
What made Rhodes very concerned was that Stephen mentioned the name Phoenix Wilma in his words.
Rhodes remembered that in the previous life's Shadow of Death Battle, Phoenix Wilma, the Necromancer, played an extremely important role, constantly refreshing the player's understanding of him.
Rhodes recalled that in the early days of the second expansion in the previous life, Phoenix appeared in front of all players as the leader of this battle. At that time, many players even believed that Phoenix was the owner of the artifact.
It wasn't until the middle of the second expansion that the heroes who had been tricked by Sandro into collecting artifact parts for him united to expose Sandro's crimes. At that time, the players realized that among Diya, the artifacts The controller is someone else.
Many players already doubted how Phoenix, who is far less powerful than a Lich and does not have the status of a hero, managed to control the artifact, and convinced the Liches that his strength was not worthy of the powerful effect of the artifact.
The information about Sandro just confirmed the player's guess. In the eyes of the player at that time, Phoenix was just a puppet supported by many liches, used to divert the main attention of the enemy, and it was not even worth spending a lot of effort to assassinate. Getting rid of Phoenix won't change anything. The ones who really control everything are the real liches behind.
It wasn't until the end of the second expansion, when Phoenix won the approval of many liches and was crowned King Diya, that players realized that there was something extraordinary about this seemingly ordinary necromancer.
By the end of the second expansion, the Battle of Shadow of Death had finally failed, and even Sandro had fallen in the battle, and the artifact on his body was missing, and Phoenix was still his King of Dia.
Phoenix can be said to be the biggest winner belonging to Diya in the second expansion pack. In this battle where even an immortal lich will end his life, the little-known Phoenix was finally crowned as Diya The king became the first person in the kingdom of necromancers.
During the process of Phoenix being crowned king in the previous life, Rhodes had never heard of the existence of the Diya royal family. It seemed that everything was carried out under the will of the Lich. It is no wonder that Rhodes was puzzled by what Stephen said. Can't help but ask Stephen carefully.
Regardless of the authenticity of the information, Stephen's actions have already shown her attitude to Rhodes. Without knowing the attitudes of other liches, as the owner of the Tomb of Death, Stephen's kindness is undoubtedly crucial, and Rhodes is serious. road:
"I know this information. Perhaps in the subsequent battles, this information can play more roles."
For this,
Stephen just responded lightly: "I hope you can unleash the true power of the artifact."
While Rhodes was talking with Stephen, his arrival also attracted the attention of many creatures in the field.
The ghost dragon following Rhodes is undoubtedly a very conspicuous existence, and the strong death energy emanating from it can be felt by all creatures in the field. Combined with the information conveyed by Stephen when he summoned many liches, Rhode's identity was also inferred by the creatures in the field.
Sensing the sight staring at him in the darkness, Rhode didn't wait any longer, and after finishing talking with Stephen, he stepped forward and walked towards the center of the light.
Noticing this move of Rhodes, North could only follow behind. In this special environment, he noticed many extremely powerful auras around him. Apart from following Rhodes behind, North didn't know where to go.
Soon, Rhodes stopped moving forward, and North, who was following behind, saw this and quickly stood still in place.
The faint ominous premonition in his heart made North not dare to inquire about the surrounding environment casually during the following process, but just kept his head down and walked forward. Only after he stopped, he dared to look around.
In the process of looking around, North noticed that what surrounded himself and Rhodes was a circle larger than what he had seen before, and the arm candlesticks inserted into the ground upside down. These candlesticks crossed the ground and looked around. The range that can be reached is extremely limited.
The pale firelight did not extend to the periphery, and the dark shadow covered it, cutting off the spread of the light. It seemed that there was something in the darkness that swallowed the emitted light.
Looking from a distance, North could see many isolated pale Mars from the surrounding darkness. The light of Mars did not illuminate the dark environment, but was faintly visible in the darkness.
North could sense that bursts of extremely powerful auras were in the darkness where light could not reach, which brought him an inexplicable sense of fear. These extremely powerful creatures did not know when they would kill Rhodes. Completely surrounded, to be precise, Rhodes actively chose to come into this encirclement.
At this moment, North couldn't help recalling everything in Sao City. Compared with the time when he only needed to study the potion in the quiet room, the strong stimulation he felt at this time made North really realize the danger. But for his choice, North has no regrets.
Rhodes also sensed the powerful creatures around him, and he knew that they were the liches who came here and their undead creatures.
Rhodes noticed that when he came to the center of the bright field, the aura belonging to the liches around him changed very obviously, and some became hasty, waiting for Rhodes in the field to show a flaw, and waited for an opportunity Some snatched the artifact belonging to the necromancer, some were extremely hostile and might attack Rhodes at any time, and some were always extremely peaceful and were not affected by Rhodes at all.
Until he really stood in the center, in Rhodes' perception, the strong threat from the existence of those liches dissipated instead. At this moment, Rhodes couldn't feel any fear in his heart.
The existence of god-level spiritualism not only greatly enhanced Rhodes' perception of death energy, but also improved Rhodes' resistance to undead spells.
Even at the top of Diya, these immortal liches and the cloud of death they released still couldn't cause any harm to Rhodes. The only thing Rhodes needed to worry about was the regular spells cast by these liches.
Due to the changes brought about by the endless night ritual, any spell cast by the Lich will be changed by the energy of death, and in terms of real spell-casting ability, it cannot be compared with the orthodox legendary mage.
Relying on the artifact in his hand, Rhodes was able to defeat a true legendary mage. At this moment, the only thing he needed to worry about was that the liches united to put pressure on him.
For this reason, when faced with Stephen's kindness, Rhodes chose to accept it, hoping to unite with this Lich.
After coming to the field, Rhodes didn't say anything, but just cast his own soul-calling technique, releasing the death energy existing in the body towards the deathless hill.
The energy of death swept across, and an inexplicable change began to occur in the deserted tomb of death.
The death energy released by Rhodes immediately attracted the attention of those liches outside the arena.
Even liches cannot have such pure death energy. In their perception, this level of death energy does not contain any impurities, and even surpasses pure magic elements.
The appearance of death energy undoubtedly confirmed to these liches what Stephen said that Rhodes carried the necromancer artifact on him. It's just that before these liches made any moves, an accident happened beside them.
Under their feet, the dead bones that could be seen everywhere in the deserted mausoleum of death began to tremble violently at this moment.
Under the watchful eyes of these liches, the unique death energy spread wantonly, the original dead bones on the ground began to aggregate, and the irregular bones were forcibly spliced together to form the body of an undead creature. With the fire of the soul being ignited, finally What formed in the eyes of these liches was a rank six Lich King.
A large number of Lich Kings lifted the broken bones buried on their bodies and climbed up from the ground. For a moment, the entire Death Tomb seemed to wake up.
Sensing the changes in the Dead Hills again, Stephen couldn't help but look at Rhodes besides the power of the artifact. This unique power attracted her. If Rhodes can really launch the campaign he promised, Stephen wouldn't mind joining him. in.
The surrounding candlesticks used to maintain the light had already been knocked over during the awakening of the Lich King, and the light in the field dimmed instantly, making it difficult to see the surrounding environment clearly.
For a lich with extremely powerful perception ability, it doesn't make any difference whether there is light around it, but in order for Rhodes to show better, Stephen raised his hand, and the next moment, there was light from the sky.
The dark sky that enveloped the mausoleum of death did not dissipate. The light coming from the sky was a few ghosts ignited by pale flames. After the blessing of high-level spells, the light dispelled the darkness below and illuminated the entire area.
Except for Stephen, the other liches who noticed the Lich King's appearance could not maintain their previous calmness. This kind of transformation that subverted the previous cognition, even though Stephen had already heard about it, these liches still found it difficult to understand.
"Is this... the effect of gathering spirit thaumaturgy?"
The person who asked this question was a necromancer shrouded in a black robe. Under the cover of all powerful creatures, the only necromancer was extremely conspicuous.
The necromancer's hands folded in front of his abdomen, wearing heavy leather gloves, just the exposed face is full of signs of festering, with dark liquid dripping faintly, and there is nothing in the left eye socket, death energy The erosion marks are extremely obvious on his body.
"Gathering thaumaturgy can revive undead creatures who died in battle, but it cannot take effect on decayed undead creatures. This place is about to become a cursed land, mixed with the bones of an unknown number of creatures. Gathering thaumaturgy cannot bring different individuals together. The undead creatures are pieced together."
Perhaps also feeling puzzled in his heart, a real lich answered the necromancer's words.
If Rhodes can notice the appearance of this lich, he will definitely feel very familiar with it. Rhodes had a relationship with this lich once in the magic guild of the city of mourning. Its identity is just It was the former hero Modo. At that time, Modo had not yet become a real Lich.
"This transformation method is more like the effect of spiritualism, and it is the top spirituality." Speaking, Modo seemed to notice something, and asked: "Aisha, what do you think?"
The object of Modo's inquiry, that is, Aisha in its mouth, is also a lich. During the years of research on necromancy, he focused on the related content of necromancy, believing that necromancy is the origin of all necromancy. The most orthodox undead spell.
After being promoted to a lich, Modo took the initiative to show his favor to Aisha, and asked her about epic-level spiritualism, all of which were answered in detail. In Modo's view, Aisha's level of spiritualism is very likely to reach reached the top legendary level.
Legendary-level spiritualism is an important condition for a lich to be promoted to a legendary creature. In the entire Diya, there are not many liches with this level of spiritualism.
In addition to the real legendary lich, as far as Modo knows, only Aisha can possess legendary spiritualism.
From the transformed Lich King, Modo faintly sensed a kind of pressure. He has dealt with Lich all the year round, and he understands the power of this creature better. Once the number is superimposed, the destructive ability caused can be greatly improved. The transformation process of these Lich Kings made Modo extremely puzzled.
In Modo's view, with the existence of legendary spiritism and the long-term research on spiritism, Aisha must have her own understanding of this unique transformation method in front of her. Maybe this is the effect of legendary spiritism. .
However, at this moment, Aisha seemed to have discovered something frightening, with an expression of disbelief on her face, which was extremely unusual for a lich who had existed for countless years . Modo, who noticed the changes in Aisha, couldn't help being cautious.
"This is not an ability possessed by legendary spiritualism."
Aisha's voice came from his ear, and Modo was taken aback.
"This is god-level spiritualism."
Hearing Aisha's words, Modo only felt his body trembling faintly, a feeling that Modo had never felt after being promoted to a lich.
The information contained in the words was too shocking. Beside them, the expression of another lich who had never spoken began to change.
Noticing the emotional changes of these liches, the only necromancer beside them frowned, glanced at Rhodes in the field, and whispered:
"He is just a senior necromancer, he has not even touched the threshold of a lich, and he is not qualified to hold the endless night ceremony. The reason why he can master the god-level spiritualism, I believe that all the liches are better than me. "
"It seems that Sir Stephen is right. The reason she called us here is because the artifact belonging to the necromancer has appeared and has been acquired by this person."
