In Rod's opinion, there is no better opportunity to use the Forbidden Orb Fragment in the entire game world. Even the legendary mages in Bracada can provide treasures that are far inferior to the existence of these two artifacts.

For this forbidden ball fragment with an effect equivalent to the artifact itself, Rhodes didn't want to use it on ordinary creatures from the beginning, and only a special existence like Sandru was worthy of Rhodes to use it.

Unlike those lichs in the territory of Diya, who hide a lot of means, although Rhodes does not know the true thoughts in his heart about the existence of Sandru, he has a certain understanding of the general strength he has.

According to Rod's recollections, in the second expansion pack of his previous life, when Sandru completed the Endless Night Ritual and was promoted to the legendary lich, his strength undoubtedly reached another level.

In Rod's memory, Sandru in that state had far more control over undead creatures than all lichs, as well as spell-casting abilities equivalent to legendary mages, and both abilities were considered to be the top existence among creatures of the same type.

Rhodes knew that Sandru in his previous life was able to do this, in addition to his deep research on the profession he was promoted to, as well as his own talent, and more importantly, it was greatly related to the artifact he possessed.

The existence of an artifact can bring unimaginable blessings to the creatures that hold it. No matter what kind of effect the artifact has, as long as it is used reasonably, the effect it can produce can surpass everything that is conventional, and it can be regarded as the most unbalanced existence in the entire game.

The powerful effects attached to the two artifacts that exist on Sandru's body, the "Ghost King's Cloak" and the "Cursed Armor", have substantially improved Sandru's strength, far surpassing all lichs and orthodox mages of the same rank.

Whether it is Sandru's own ability or his transformation effect on undead creatures, it has undergone qualitative changes under the action of these two artifacts. It was also under these circumstances that Sandru finally launched the Shadow of Death campaign that spread throughout the surface world.

Among them, what made Rhodes feel concerned was that Sandru did not have any melee abilities except for his abilities as a mage and a necromancer.

Regardless of whether Sandru performed the Endless Night Ritual at this time, nothing will change at this point, and the changes brought by the Endless Night Ritual to the necromancer will not be reflected in the melee ability.

This is also in line with Rod's original expectations for Sandru. In Rhodes' opinion, Sandru, who had studied spells in Bracada for a long time and finally came to Diya, naturally had no reason to master the melee skills that were not weak.

It was precisely this that gave Rhodes enough confidence that he could rely on the existence of the Forbidden Demon Ball fragment to seize these two powerful artifacts from Sandru's hands.

Based on his previous conversations with Stephen, Rod understood that Sandru didn't seem to show the true effects of these two artifacts in the eyes of Dia's necromancer.

Under the effect of this artifact, the necromancer's spiritualism ability will be greatly amplified, and he can ignore the limit of the rank and forcibly transform any dead creature into a fifth-order corpse witch.

Once the power of the artifact is known to other necromancers, perhaps the entire Deya will fall into madness because of it.

Even the most powerful corpse witches are equally eager for such a powerful artifact, and once they learn of the existence of the artifact in Sandru's hand, the situation in the entire territory of Dya will not be the same as it is now.

This is also the extremely useful information that Rhodes got during his conversation with Stephen before.

In Rod's opinion, Stephen may have realized the unusual things that existed in Sandru who came to Deya, but he did not expect what kind of impact he would have on the entire Deya.

After Sandru came to Diya, he chose to hide the artifact information, which undoubtedly exceeded Rhodes' original expectations.

With the experience of his previous life, although before coming to Diya, Rod had already guessed that Sandru at this time was likely to have returned to Diya, but for Sandru at this time, Rod did not expect the act of hiding the artifact information.

According to Rod's original prediction, Sandru chose to come to Diya more to integrate the necromancer forces in order to achieve his goal, so the effect of the artifact will be fully displayed in the eyes of Diya's necromancer.

And the situation noticed at this time undoubtedly proved to Rod that his original prediction had made some serious mistakes.

In the previous predictions, the most crucial point that Rhodes ignored was Sandru's real purpose. Due to his experience in his previous life, Rhodes clearly knew the general direction of the second expansion, so when making judgments, he relied on the experience in the second expansion, without taking into account what had not yet happened.

The choices he made after Sandru came to Diya also proved to Rhodes that his true purpose may not be as simple as he originally thought that he wanted to start a big war, but in some other things.

It's just that for Rhodes at this time, whatever Sandru's purpose is, it may not seem so important. What Rhodes really cared about were the two artifacts that existed in Sandru's hands.

Rhodes knew that no matter whether Sandru, who had returned to Deya, had shown the true effects of these two artifacts to other necromancers, or had some ulterior motives, under the shroud of the forbidden demon barrier, Sandru, who did not have the ability to fight in close combat, could not pose any threat to himself.

Relying on the existence of the Forbidden Orb fragments and losing the ability to cast spells, Rhodes was able to easily defeat him, and in the second expansion, the absolute dominant necromancer Sandru was able to seize the artifact that existed on his body.

No matter how powerful a mage's own spell-casting ability is, there is no difference between them and ordinary people in the Forbidden Demon Barrier. This was shown to Rhodes as early as the battle in Bracada, even Sandru, without any exceptions.

The expert-level swordsmanship that Rhodes had mastered would undoubtedly be of great help to him in this situation. For Rod, all he needed to do was see Sandru's true body and be within a certain range.
