Chapter 1074: Transformation
Water Elemental Plane, somewhere.
Beneath the clear sea, a battle is taking place for a creature here.
Countless tiny fish of the same species are clustered together, and it is impossible to count their numbers with the naked eye alone, and they occupy the entire sea area densely.
Their movements are uniform, without any sound to command, but they are able to turn at the same time, as if there are two invisible hands, operating all this.
The gathering of tiny fish, like a silver tornado, hovered beneath the ocean with no end in sight, with a terrifying might enough to shock any creature it saw, but not enough to scare off its foes.
They are not fought by a single fish, but by a mixture of forces, from third-order dolphins with spindle-shaped torsos, fourth-order swordfish with a long spine protruding from their upper jaws, to fifth-order sharks with terrifying teeth.
In the face of an enemy whose size is not many times larger than a small fish, the gathered schools of fish will naturally not disperse easily, but will dodge the attack in a uniform manner.
Under the bite of the enemy, the fish swam quickly, changing their position smartly, and none of the small fish made a mistake, although there was a loss, but compared to the whole school, this loss was not fatal.
The large number of creatures besieging the fish, their union is not monolithic, there are many loopholes in it, giving people a sense of fighting separately, which also gives the fish a chance to escape.
The dense school of fish makes these creatures not worry about the harvest of this trip, and now they just bite into the school of fish without other thoughts.
In the midst of the competition between predators and predators, there was an existence with a strange shape, that is, a humanoid creature with complete limbs, and at a glance of its appearance, it was clear that it did not belong here.
The humanoid creature that appeared here was none other than Rhodes, who had been banished.
Looking at this scene in front of him, Rhodes finally had a trace of joy in his heart, not because after seeing this scene, he had a sense of awe for life in his heart, but because he had finally found a large number of fish suitable for the main body of the Corpse Witch King.
In order for the undead creatures to spread across the water elemental plane, Rhodes had to transform a sufficient number of Corpse Witch Kings, and once these Corpse Witch Kings were far away from Rod, they had to rely on their own ability to transform the undead creatures into corpse witches, and in the process, Rhodes could not help in any way.
With the spread of transformation and the elongation of distance, the quality of undead creatures will drop sharply, from the fifth-order corpse witch to the fourth-order resentful soul, then to the third-order yin soul, and finally the second-order walking corpse, the first-order skeleton, this is the limit of the undead creatures transformed through the ghost king's cloak, and the limit of their ability to spread independently.
Even Rhodes couldn't change this, and could only provide enough Witch Kings at the beginning of the transformation to support the transformation process as soon as possible.
Because of this, in Rhodes' opinion, the choice of the initial Corpse Witch King will be extremely important, so as to ensure that the vast majority of the dead fish are successfully transformed into corpse witches, rather than other undead creatures of lower rank.
It has been more than ten hours since Rhodes came to the water element plane, and the undead creatures that Rhodes first transformed have now begun to play an effect, and under the continuous transformation, the number of undead creatures controlled by the ghost king's cloak in the water element plane has reached three thousand, and the growth rate is still accelerating.
The current number of undead creatures is still insignificant compared to the creatures in the entire water elemental plane, but given enough time, the undead creatures will grow to a terrifying level.
What Rhodes lacked was time.
In this process, Rhodes has been looking for an undead creature suitable for the main body of the Corpse Witch King, and finally discovered the scene in front of him in a sea not far away.
Without any hesitation, Rhodes raised his hand and converted all the mana recovered during this time into a cloud of death, releasing it towards the fish in front of him.
The god-level spiritualism gave Rhodes unparalleled control over the Cloud of Death, which is why Rod chose to release the Cloud of Death instead of other water-based magic.
The black fog, which symbolizes death, began to spread across the sea, forming a tendency to wrap around.
The first to perceive all this was the school of fish that had gathered, and the arrival of the anomaly made them, who were extremely sensitive to danger, feel uneasy, and although their movements were still uniform, the direction of their swimming became irregular.
The anomaly of the fish can be very bad for other creatures around them, and the resistance from the fish is significantly reduced, making it easier for them to attack.
For this reason, they launched an even more fierce attack on the fish in front of them, and the strong stimulus in front of them has paralyzed the perception of these creatures, making them unable to detect the arrival of danger.
A handful of dolphins seemed to sense this and abandoned the attack in front of them and fled to the side, but it was too late, and Rhodes did not give any creature a chance to escape.
The massive cloud of death released by Rhodes completely enveloped the outermost part of the sea in an instant, forming a reverse pitch-black semicircular barrier that restricted the creatures inside.
Under Rhodes' control, the barrier formed by the cloud of death is constantly squeezing and shrinking inward, further reducing the living space of all living beings in it.
Any fish that comes into contact with the Cloud of Death barrier, regardless of size, immediately shows a festering mark on its body, and if it stays a little longer, the flesh and blood will be completely separated from the body, and the effect of the Cloud of Death generated by the god-level spiritualism is so domineering.
Finally, when the barrier was fully formed, all the fish in it noticed the abnormal changes in the environment, and fell into a panic for a while.
Some of the creatures that used to prey on fish saw the faint gap between the clouds of death and tried to quickly pass through them, while others dived directly below regardless of their surroundings, hoping to escape, but these actions did not help.
Rhodes would not let these creatures escape from his eyes, except for the blockade of the cloud of death, under his control, all the fish that fell in the cloud of death first, awakened in the form of the corpse witch king, and began to attack all the living creatures in the first step.
Silver tornadoes of tiny schools of fish reappeared, stirring the waters, but to no avail, and it was only a matter of time before they died.
Under Rhodes' control, the barrier of the Cloud of Death closed completely, filling all the spaces inside, and no breath came from it except for the transformed Corpse Witch King.
