Under the clear sky, in front of a towering obelisk, a thin figure half-kneeled.

Her eyes were closed, and she chanted a low, esoteric prayer, and the sound of silence echoed through the area, giving people an inexplicable sense of reassurance.

The pure white robe of the same color as the obelisk, with the hem dragging on the ground, was the only outfit on her body, even if there were no luxurious ornaments around her, but it did not lose its own sense of solemnity.

At some point, the dark clouds began to spread across the sky, obscuring everything above until all the light was engulfed, and although the flames were ignited in time, they were still darker than before, making it difficult to see the surrounding scene.

Sensing the appearance of the anomaly, she stopped chanting, stood up, and turned sideways to meet a direction.

With the distorted shadows under the firelight, in the darkness, a figure slowly emerged, and the solemn aura suddenly spread to the surroundings, and the wordless fear began to spread in the field.

"Necromancer!"

Not far away, several fire elementals discovered the arrival of this figure, and they were immediately hit by the lightning that quickly swept through their bodies, and the field suddenly dimmed.

The light of the lightning illuminated the face of the person who came, and this person was Rod.

Using the spells he learned from the Nags magic book, he raised the purest dark canopy to envelop the battlefield, and after jumping from the ghost dragon, using the slow effect of the treasure, he reached the center of the white barrier in one fell swoop, and saw the scene in front of him.

The huge obelisk not far away, and the woman beside him, made Rhodes understand the special nature of this place, and he knew that the person in front of him must have a deep connection with the white barrier that enveloped Igney.

The woman never opened her eyes, but Rhodes could feel that her every move was under her gaze, and she didn't show any emotional fluctuations about her killing of the fire elementals.

"Are you an elemental, or something else?" Rhodes asked.

"Forget it." As he spoke, Rhodes raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning condensed in his hand and shot rapidly towards the woman next to the obelisk.

From the person in front of him, Rod could feel an unusual aura, and for this reason, Rod no longer had any hands.

Without the help of the power of the artifact, Rhodes chose to directly infuse his own mana and condense the fifth-order magic, the Titan Arrow.

As if unable to sense the impending crisis, she remained unmoved, until lightning rushed in front of her, and the magical elements around her changed faintly.

A gray-white barrier rose in front of her, and lightning struck the barrier, instantly deflecting to the side, hitting the ground not far away, and the earth and rocks splashed, blasting a small crater.

Seeing that the Titan Arrow did not have the effect he imagined, the abnormal scene that appeared next to the woman naturally attracted Rod's attention.

"Magic Mirror...... You are a legendary mage. ”

As Rod's words fell, her eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened at this time.

With the help of the faint firelight, Rhodes looked at the person in front of her, her eyes were deep and there was no halo, as if she could see everything in the world, and she had a temperament that was completely inconsistent with herself, which was a temperament that could only be possessed under the accumulation of endless time.

This feeling, Rod has only felt in those lichs, not new lichs like Modo, but lichs who have really survived for countless years.

Through these visions, Rhodes confirmed his original judgment that the woman in front of the obelisk should be a legendary mage.

The magic mirror she used showed Rhodes that this spell was not something that ordinary mages could master.

According to Rhodes's understanding of this spell, the magic mirror that belongs to the fifth-order spell can deflect all the single spells that come, and there is a certain chance that the damage-type spell will be completely returned to the caster, which is an extremely powerful fifth-order magic.

Even Rhodes in his previous life mastered this spell after spending a great price, but at this time, he could see it in this woman, and Rhodes naturally confirmed her identity.

In the face of the protective magic mirror, many of the spells that Rhodes mastered could not play their original role, at this time, Rhodes simply gave up the casting of conventional spells, and in a flash, he came behind the woman, holding the Titan Arrow in his hand.

Although the body of the Titan Arrow is irregularly folded, its sharpness cannot be questioned by any creature.

The indestructible nature of artifacts gives them many additional abilities, such as the Titan Arrow in Rhodes' hand, which can be used as a normal melee weapon to slash, even if it collides with heavy weapons, there is no need to worry about breaking blades and other problems.

The Titan Arrows may not be as sharp as some powerful treasures designed for melee combat, but they still have no problem penetrating the bodies of ordinary creatures.

With this special weapon, Rhodes can change his fighting style at all times, and when facing some enemies that are difficult to defeat with spells alone, Rhodes can also transform into a magical assassin-like existence by teleporting and adding his own basic attributes.

Legendary mages, as powerful as they are, cannot transcend the realm of ordinary creatures, and once their heads are cut off, or their hearts are pierced, it means death.

By teleporting, he came behind the woman, and Rhodes stabbed his sword towards the back of her heart, but was blocked by a shield made of flames, and the impact was dissolved in an instant, no matter how hard Rhodes tried, he could not make the blade advance in the slightest.

At the same time, above the shield, a burst of intense flames erupted, gushing out towards Rod, and before he had time to use teleportation to escape, Rhodes quickly turned sideways and used the wide cloak behind his back to envelop the sideways body.

The flames hit the worn cloak, but as if it had come into contact with heavy asbestos, it failed to ignite it, and it could not even get past the obstruction of the cloak, and Rhodes in the rear was not harmed except for feeling a heat wave.

The characteristics of the artifact make the ghost king's cloak behind Rod the best protective equipment, and it can also be regarded as an anti-magic equipment.

It can't be destroyed by any means, giving the Ghost King Cloak such an ability, and in the face of some spells that can't be dodged, Rhodes can also rely on this characteristic of the Ghost King's Cloak to greatly reduce the damage.

The attack from Rhodes triggered the backlash of the fire shield, which is the reason for the flames gushing out.

When the flames gradually dissipated and he felt that danger was coming, Rod naturally did not stay by the woman's side, and his figure disappeared again.
