Chapter 757: System One
This characteristic of the lich makes it possible for them to greatly change the form of the spell itself when they cast a spell, which is not possible even for the more powerful legendary lich.
In terms of characteristics, these spells cast by the lich may not be as good as those actually cast by high-level mages, but in terms of strength, they still exceed the limits that ordinary necromancers can reach.
Because of this, Rhodes naturally did not underestimate the spells cast by a lich, and in some cases, such spells with the erosion of death energy can cause more damage than ordinary spells.
In this case, Rhodes was extremely wary of the spell that Stephen was guiding, even if there was a legendary spiritualism, Rhodes did not dare to face it head-on, this spell cast by a lich with a strong death energy.
The death energy that existed around them had already been affected by this spell and began to fluctuate violently. At this time, Rhodes could already feel the spell that was about to take shape from the surrounding mana fluctuations.
It stands to reason that in order to ensure his own safety, no matter how reluctant he is in his heart, Rhodes should use the Forbidden Magic Ball fragment in his hand as soon as possible, so as not to bring a great threat to himself after this spell is fully formed.
However, as if he realized something, even though he had already held the Forbidden Orb fragment in his hand, Rhodes had no intention of using it, but just waited for Stephen to finish casting this spell.
Prior to this, Rhodes had detected the anomalies in this spell through the mana fluctuations caused by Stephen when he channeled it.
Through his own perception and previous spell-casting experience, Rhodes judged that this spell guided by Stephen did not seem to be a damage type spell, but another kind of existence.
It's just that when Stephen cast this spell, the death energy fluctuations caused by it disturbed Rod's judgment from the beginning.
In Rhodes's opinion, the death energy that Stephen mobilized when channeling this special spell could not reach this level even if a fifth-order senior necromancer tried his best.
In this case, when he felt the appearance of this death energy and the fact that this spell was about to take shape, the first thing Rhodes expected was naturally that Stephen had cast a powerful damage spell.
At this time, after recalling the characteristics that existed in the lich when he cast a spell, Rhodes realized that the spell cast by Stephen was naturally not limited to damage type spells, but had more possibilities.
Before this spell was fully formed, its properties had already been destroyed by death energy, and Rhodes could only judge its type through previous experience.
When Rod realized this, his guess about this spell naturally became comprehensive, and he was no longer limited to one type of spell.
In Rhodes' opinion, after removing all the parts related to death energy in this spell, it should be regarded as a spatial type spell.
Combined with his previous experience in spell casting, it didn't take long for Rhodes to determine the true name of this spell, which was the space-time gate in the fourth-order spell.
Thinking back to his previous self, unable to perceive any threat from this spell that was about to take shape, Rhodes also realized the real reason for this situation.
At that time, Rhodes only thought that the reason for this situation was that the lich Stephen had a strong ability to cast spells, but after judging the true form of this spell, Rod realized that his original idea was wrong.
Since the effect of the spell is extremely fixed, even if it is cast by the lich, there will still be no damage factor, so Rhodes naturally cannot detect any threat from this space-time gate.
At this point, after recognizing the spell cast by the lich, Rhodes could not understand Stephen's true thoughts, but he was able to detect something unusual in it.
In Rod's opinion, Stephen cast this extremely special form of the space-time gate without any warning, perhaps more to test himself.
Rhodes realizes that his behavior after arriving at the Death Wasteland has caught the attention of Stephen the Lich.
Rhodes knew that compared to his own response, the panic shown by Tello when he saw Stephen was in line with the performance of ordinary necromancers, and even from the beginning, his act of looking for Stephen by himself also seemed unreasonable.
For the lich, whose strength has already reached another level, the necromancer undoubtedly has no say in front of them.
The information circulating in Diya's territory, which has disturbed all the senior necromancers, also involves the deeds of some extremely active lichs who have been hunting and killing necromancers with extremely high potential throughout the territory.
In this case, as a necromancer, taking the initiative to find the traces of the lich, and even wanting to make a deal with it, naturally seems extremely abnormal, and there will be no necromancer at all who will make such a choice.
In Rod's opinion, for Stephen the Lich, this situation not only appeared, but even happened twice in a row in a relatively short period of time.
When Tello first entered the Death Waste, Stephen could feel the will that existed in him, and the determination to find this method, which taught him the secret method, but it still cost Tello a lot.
Rod realized that Stephen might be able to understand this situation for the first time, but at this time, Stephen seemed to be a little suspicious of the purpose of his arrival, not to mention the existence of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragment on his body.
The Forbidden Orb Fragment, a special object that preserves the original effect of the artifact, undoubtedly gave Rhodes full confidence, even if the Lich Stephen planned to attack him, he would be able to deal with it.
In Rod's eyes, Stephen the Lich is undoubtedly the most powerful undead creature she has accumulated over countless years, and her spell-casting ability is nothing compared to it.
However, once the forbidden barrier is opened, Stephen will still be extremely severely restricted, and Rhodes has a lot of confidence that he will solve it before the undead creatures under Stephen's command arrive.
