Chapter 697: Death Desolation Tomb II

As Tro traveled, Rhodes sensed a drastic change in the death energy around him. Compared to the original position, the death energy at this time has been concentrated to another extent.

This extremely rich death energy has deeply filled all the spaces in this area, and even under Rhodes' feet, the gray-white substance he stepped on was also filled with this unique death energy.

According to Rhodes's observation, the gray-white matter existing on the surrounding ground, with the blessing of this extremely strong death energy, has undergone some morphological changes, which is very close to a special existence, but there is no change in nature, and it cannot affect other things.

According to Rod's understanding in his previous life, under the long-term erosion of death energy, a series of transformations, the final form of this gray-white substance, will have an extremely powerful effect, and will be called the cursed earth by the necromancers in the territory of Diya.

According to the research of Dia Necromancer, the conditions for the appearance of the cursed land are extremely harsh, requiring the long-term erosion of death energy, and this death energy must be extremely strong, and the death energy released by the Revenant Crystal alone cannot meet this requirement.

Within Diya, cursed lands are still uncommon, and not all regions have enough conditions to support the creation of cursed lands. Only in a few special areas can this extremely special thing appear, and it is all related to the most powerful creatures in the territory of Diya.

When a cursed earth is created, any creature on it will suffer a very serious negative effect.

All creatures on the cursed earth are strongly corrupted by the energy of death. Even low-level necromancers could hardly withstand this kind of erosion. For these necromancers, the erosion above the cursed earth is like the cloud of death cast by a high-ranking necromancer.

In addition to the active erosion of death energy, any spell cast by the mage on the cursed land will consume multiple mana, and this multiple will also change according to the rank of the spell, and the higher the rank, the more mana will be consumed.

Because of this, even a true legendary mage can actually play a much worse role when he comes to the cursed land, and casting a truly powerful spell is enough to exhaust the mana he has.

Conversely, for low-level spells, the cursed earth doesn't have much of an impact, and even doubling the mana consumed when casting a spell won't cause the mage to lose too much extra mana.

It is precisely in this situation that no matter what kind of mage it is, when it is in the cursed land, most of the spells cast are low-level spells.

And those spells that only necromancers can master, similar to death, and have a direct relationship with spiritualism, can naturally get some preferential treatment in the cursed land. These spells are also the only spells among the many spells that do not consume extra mana.

However, due to the extremely harsh conditions of the appearance of the cursed land, it requires extremely strong death energy, which will corrode the surrounding environment for a long time, and only a true lich will have such an ability, and is willing to spend a lot of energy to create this unique thing.

In this case, the appearance of the cursed land is directly related to the true ruler of the territory of Diya, that is, the real lich.

The necromancers in the territory of Diya, after seeing the scene that seems to be in this situation, if they are not completely sure, most of them will deliberately avoid this kind of area, in addition to avoiding the erosion of death energy in it, more importantly, it is the lich that exists in it.

A necromancer who can withstand the erosion of this death energy and be safe on the cursed land without relying on any treasures requires at least fifth-order strength.

This can only be done if the necromancer himself has suffered the erosion of spiritualism on himself, that is, after producing a series of signs of corruption on his body. And for the true lichs, their bodies transformed by the ritual of the Endless Night, have long since ignored the erosion that exists on the cursed earth.

As Rod moved forward, the erosion of the surrounding death energy became more and more intense, but in Rhodes' opinion, the death energy around him was far inferior to his own existence in terms of overall quality, so he didn't care too much.

Rhodes noticed that Tello beside him, after feeling the change in the energy of death, his face had become solemn, and it was obvious that he had discovered something.

With little knowledge of his surroundings, Rhodes didn't know how long it would be before he could get to where the lich was. It's just that in the process of marching, when Rod stepped on the gray-white substance in front of him, he could clearly feel the changes that had taken place in the environment.

Rhodes knew that if the previous area, the gray-white substance on the ground, was only somewhat similar to the cursed earth, but the degree of erosion had not yet been reached, then the area in front of him could already be called the real cursed earth.

In the cursed land, this situation that is not suitable for high-level spells is naturally the lich itself, which can obtain the greatest increase.

Due to the limitations of the environment, coupled with the death energy it possesses, it can be difficult to kill a true lich in a cursed land, even if a true legendary mage is present, let alone other creatures.

According to what Rhodes knew, no player could do it if he wanted to transform a cursed land alone with his own abilities.

Due to the sheer amount of death energy required, only those lichs who have escaped the limitations of their lifespan and can survive for a long time can do so.

After realizing that he had come to the cursed land, Rhodes also had some speculations about the lich Stephen in Tello's mouth.

Although from the information provided by Tello before, Rhodes could already feel the great strength of this lich, compared to his personal perception at this time, that kind of understanding through other means was still much worse after all.

Based on the area he had traveled and the truly cursed land he had come to, Rhodes had realized that the lich might have been around much longer than he had originally thought.
