Chapter 702: Observation II

As the energy of death decreased, when the effect of the dark canopy weakened, the figure of the lich also appeared in front of Rod's eyes.

After a short period of observation, a lot of information flashed through Rhodes's mind, and he also realized the strength of this lich.

At the same time, the lich also thinks about how to deal with Rhodes's appearance here.

Regardless of the level of escalation, this observation can greatly influence the decisions that follow, even in the case of the Lich.

When in Diya's territory, the Lich needs a large number of ordinary necromancers in the process of accumulating strength, and this is the final destination of most necromancers who fail to become lichs.

For this reason, the necromancers in Diya will deliberately stay away from the area where the lich exists, so as to avoid danger themselves, let alone go to the territory where the lich is located to seek a solution to the problem, as Trow did.

In Rhodes' opinion, Thero's behavior is tantamount to sending high-quality materials for making undead creatures to the eyes of the lich. To Rhode's surprise, Tello actually succeeded, not only surviving from the hands of the lich, but also solving the erosion of death energy with the help of the lich.

It was this that made Rhodes realize that this lich might be different from what he imagined, and tried to use Tello to achieve something, as evidenced by the magic scroll that Tello had in his body.

According to Rod's understanding, even if the lich in Diya's territory has extremely strong strength, there is rarely a head-on conflict between the lich and the existence with the same strength as himself, that is, between the lich.

In most cases, the lichs in Diya's territory are in their respective territories, accumulating strength for a long time, and they will avoid conflicts with each other.

For the lich, after losing the limit of their lifespan, the best way for them to improve their strength is this kind of accumulation of strength, and the conflict between each other will only cause losses to themselves, and cannot bring any substantial improvement.

It's just that this practice between lichs is only limited to the existence of the same lich that is similar to their strength, that is, the same lich, and if they are replaced by ordinary necromancers, they will only be killed by lichs.

Because of this, when the lich vaguely sensed the strength he possessed from Rhodes and the threat he might pose to himself, his mind changed.

Although in the lich's opinion, Rhodes has not yet completed the Endless Night Ritual, and the essence of his life is far inferior to himself at this time, the signal from the perception also makes the lich realize that Rhodes is not as simple as he observes.

As early as the use of the space-time gate magic scroll he created, the lich was aware of Rhodes' arrival, and observed the situation of Rhodes and his party through the undead creatures that existed around him.

Originally, based on the results observed by the undead creatures, the lich did not think that there was anything worth caring about for Rhodes and his party. Even the extremely powerful ghost dragon is not much stronger than the undead creatures he controls in the eyes of this lich.

However, when the effect of the dark canopy weakened, through his own brief observation, the lich also sensed some abnormalities from Rod. The lich didn't feel the threat of death for an unknown amount of time, and made his own decision.

Under Rod's gaze, the figure of the lich in the distance flashed, and the next moment, the lich appeared not far in front of Rod.

Just after the appearance of this lich's form, Rhodes also seemed to feel something, and a lot of vigilance arose in his heart.

Rhodes noticed that in the process of the lich's teleportation and approaching him, he did not perceive any mana fluctuations in his perception.

In itself, spells similar to teleportation and the like, because they need to have an effect on the caster's whole body, the mana fluctuations in the space caused by them are far greater than any spells of the same rank, which is also recognized by all mages who master teleportation.

Rhodes's previous tracking of teleportation to pursue targets also relied on his perception of mana fluctuations and his previous experience to achieve this.

Even Witt, who was previously in Vierning, would generate a relatively large mana fluctuation when he cast a teleportation, which would make the trajectory of his movements perceived by Rhode.

However, to Rhode's surprise, the lich that appeared in front of him did not have any mana fluctuations escaping when he cast an instantaneous movement.

Based on what he had known about the mage, Rhodes immediately realized what this meant.

In Rhodes' opinion, being able to teleport the most difficult of the third order of magic, without spilling out a single mana fluctuation when cast, the lich clearly mastered the higher level of spell casting.

According to Rhodes' guess, a lich with this ability will not have any mana fluctuations when casting ordinary fourth-order spells, thus making the spells cast more hidden.

Even high-level mages with extremely keen perception could not sense the signs of danger in the first place without any mana fluctuations, so they could not respond in time.

In the process of fighting with high-level mages, in addition to being more stealthy when casting spells, coupled with the unique spell-casting characteristics of the lich, this lich can occupy a great advantage, and even rely on its own spell-casting ability to suppress the high-level mages who are more good at spells in the same rank.

The long-term accumulation of strength has given this lich such strength. Rhodes was able to see this by the signs present in the lich.

At the same time, Rhodes also realized that his previous speculations about this lich were not as intuitive as his perception of its strength at this time.

The way Rhodes had pursued the teleportation mage in the past would undoubtedly have no effect on the lich at this moment.

When the lich performed teleportation, Rhodes couldn't even sense the mana fluctuations generated in it, so how could he pursue the lich later?

Just by casting a teleportation to bring himself to Rod's body, this lich showed such a powerful spell casting ability, and Rhode's judgment of this lich's strength undoubtedly improved again. In Rhodes' opinion, the true strength of this lich has far surpassed that of the previous Northson, reaching another level.
