Chapter 842: Efficacy II
The study of the vampire cape has given Degar a rough idea of what conditions are needed to activate the true power of the vampire cape, but it is difficult for Degar to meet these conditions by his own strength.
What worries Degar is that even though the true power in the vampire's cloak has been dormant for countless years, there is still no sign of decay. This extremely powerful force has always been hidden in the vampire's cloak, and it will not change itself with the passage of time.
In Degar's impression, the only ones who can do this are the real lichs.
Due to the huge difference between the lich and the undead creatures, Degar simply could not use the Endless Night Ritual to transform himself into a lich in the form of a being to fight against the decay that appeared on his body.
Even powerful necromancers have the potential to fail in the process of performing the Endless Night Ritual, let alone undead creatures.
Perhaps some undead creatures, such as the Death Knight, can perform the Endless Night Ritual and transform themselves into lichs, but for vampires, this is definitely not possible.
Because of this, the immortality displayed on the vampire's cape, which is very similar to that of a lich, but can be achieved without the need for an endless night ritual, is highly valued in Degar's heart.
Degar always believed that once he activated the true power of the vampire cloak, he would no longer need to worry about the arrival of decay.
Because of this, Degar tried many ways to activate the power of the vampire cape, but in the end nothing worked, and in the process of this attempt, Degar also got some feedback from the vampire cape.
What made Degar feel concerned was that, judging from the information from the vampire's cloak, he was unable to activate the full power of this treasure, as if it was because the existence of this treasure was not in a complete form in itself, but something was missing.
The lack of these things has greatly weakened the original effect of the vampire cape, which is also something that Degar has always cared about.
Thinking back to some of the information he had known, the discovery of this situation undoubtedly made Degar realize something.
In Degar's impression, the only people who have similar properties to the vampire cape, and need to use other things to activate their own power, are those combined artifacts.
This discovery undoubtedly surprised Degar's heart, when he first got the vampire cloak, Degal did not expect that this special treasure would have a certain connection with the existence of a combined artifact.
Realizing this, Degar understood why he was able to perceive the powerful power of the vampire cape.
Degar believed that once the true power of the vampire's cloak was fully revealed, he would be able to free himself from the decay on his body, and that this could only be achieved by combining the effects of the artifact.
For this reason, when the vampire cape is obtained by other creatures, all Degar needs to do is to do everything he can to get it back.
For Degar, even if he can't collect the remaining parts of the vampire cloak by his own strength, he won't easily give up the fight for the vampire cape.
In Degar's opinion, he may not be able to achieve this, and there is no way to activate the true power of the vampire cloak, but as long as he keeps it in the group, maybe one day, this goal can be achieved, and at that time, Degar will be able to complete his eternal sleep and welcome true immortality.
For this reason, no matter how strong the enemy is, Degar must do everything he can to do it.
This situation in Degar, and the actions he has done, is also the reason why Tamik thinks that he has long since decayed.
In Tamik's view, after countless years of existence, the decay that happened to Degar was not only reflected in its appearance.
Compared to the undead creatures he had seen before, and the necromancers who had been partially corrupted by the energy of death, in Tamik's opinion, the decay that had occurred on Degar's appearance was nothing at all.
In Tamik's impression, except for the Lich Stephen, some other Lichs also have traces of decay on their bodies, but due to the Endless Night Ritual, this decay will not affect the state of the Lich itself.
Because of this, in Tamik's opinion, it is the real thoughts in his heart that can prove that Degar is already in a state of decay.
Through the connections between the heroes, Tammik was able to confirm Degar's identity as a hero. It's just that from Degal's body, Tamik can't perceive the existence of the hero's will.
Tamik understands that countless years have passed since the period in which Degar once lived, and there is not much left of the things that were originally related to Degar.
In this case, unless Degar's original heroic will is to pursue immortality, or something else that will not be easily changed, then by now, its will will have changed dramatically.
As a heroic vampire, Tamik understands this. In Tamik's view, pinning the hero's will on conventional things will undoubtedly be limited to vampires who can survive for a long time.
According to Tamik's knowledge of Degar's past deeds, it believes that Degar is likely to pin his heroic will on the vampire tribe, or the vampire kingdom that was once established by it.
It's just that after countless years of sleep, everything around Degar doesn't know how much has changed, and the era in which it is no longer belongs to it. Tamik believes that the emergence of such a situation will have a great impact on Degar's own heroic will.
It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for Tammik at this time to perceive the heroic will it has from Degar's body.
Unlike Degar, the things associated with Tamik's own heroic will are hardly affected by the passage of time, so under normal circumstances, Tamik's heroic will will not change much.
The change in the hero's will, or even the complete loss of the original hero's will, will not have any impact on the hero template that you already have.
Once you awaken your own heroic will and obtain the blessing of the hero template, you will not lose this kind of hero template for any reason, even if you give up the original heroic will, the hero template will still exist.
