Chapter 814: Preparation One
Unable to rely on the existence of the spiritual imprint to connect with the subordinates who exist in Werning, Rhodes can only rely on some memories of his own impressions of the expansion period he is currently in, and naturally there will be some mistakes, which cannot be completely consistent with what he expected.
Even so, because he had already memorized the information about the expansion pack, Rod still had full confidence in his next plans.
At this time, in addition to the subordinates in the territory of Velning, as well as the undead creatures that were originally controlled outside the mansion, the only undead creatures that Rhodes could still control at this time was the existence of the ghost dragon.
Existing in Rod's mind, the spiritual imprint of the ghost dragon that had been silent had recovered as early as when Rhodes was waiting in the secluded mansion. Due to the shortening of the distance, Rhodes at this time was able to rely on the existence of the spiritual imprint to perceive the complete state of the ghost dragon at this time.
As early as leaving the mansion and giving orders to the rest of the undead creatures, Rhodes noticed the spiritual imprint associated with the ghost dragon. Rhodes knew that according to his orders before entering the meditation, the ghost dragon at this time was hiding above the dark canopy not far from the city of death.
The excellent environment provided by the dark canopy undoubtedly brought great convenience to the concealment of the ghost dragon, in this case, almost no living creature could find the ghost dragon that had gathered all its breath through its own line of sight.
In this state, once the ghost dragon receives Rhodes' summons from the spirit imprint, it will immediately rush to Rhodes' side and show his full strength. According to Rhodes' prediction, if necessary, the ghost dragon would even be able to go directly to the top part of the Conjuring Tower to assist him.
The existence of the ghost dragon is also an important reason why Rhodes has the confidence to complete this mission. Rhodes believed that under the shroud of the forbidden demon barrier, the sudden arrival of the ghost dragon could completely change the tide of the battle, and even if Sandru had any means or a powerful undead creature to defend, it would be difficult to defeat the ghost dragon in front of him.
At this time, Rod did not directly give orders to the ghost dragon through the spiritual imprint. He knew that now was not the time to need the assistance of the ghost dragon, and the opportunity would not come until he officially entered the interior of the Soul Summoning Tower and began to carry out this task.
As for now, Rod's treatment of the ghost dragon is to keep it in its original posture and continue to hide itself in its own unique way, so as to avoid being discovered by other creatures.
Rod noticed that the ghost dragon's concealment ability at this time, in addition to coming from the dark canopy in the city, was more important than Rhode's transformation before that.
In order to improve the overall strength of the ghost dragon, and even reach the standard of promotion to a higher rank in a certain aspect, as early as before returning to Diya, Rhodes completed the transformation of the ghost dragon's form, making it reach a stronger posture.
Rod's transformation of the ghost dragon stems from a battle that took place in Bracada. At that time, Rhodes found that the death energy he released would have a great impact on the keel that formed the body of the ghost dragon, and even ascended in a more powerful direction.
In this case, in order to improve the overall strength of the ghost dragon, Rhodes relied on his own death energy to transform it in a series of ways, and finally made the entire body of the ghost dragon hit a more powerful form.
When this transformation was completed, the dragon bones that formed the body of the ghost dragon suddenly became illusory, and the strong netherworld energy surrounding it also indicated that the ghost dragon itself was unusual, like a layer of illusory mist.
And according to what Rhodes perceived, if he wanted to make the strength of the ghost dragon rise further until he broke through the inherent limitations and was promoted to a true legendary creature, the existence of this netherworld energy was undoubtedly extremely crucial.
The various changes that happened to the ghost dragon, and the matters related to the nether energy, undoubtedly made Rhodes realize that the unique nether energy that existed in the ghost dragon was the capital of the ghost dragon's promotion to a legendary creature.
Prior to this, the death energy released by Rhodes in the process of ascension of the ghost dragon played more of a guiding role, and what really changed the essence of the ghost dragon was the ghost dragon's original netherworld energy.
Through his own attempts, Rhodes had already confirmed that there was a special connection between the death energy released by himself and the netherworld energy existing in the ghost dragon, and the existence of death energy could also trigger netherworld energy, and produce a series of unknown changes, which had an impact on the body of the undead creature.
Not only the ghost dragon itself will be affected by this, but other kinds of undead creatures will also be affected, and a series of special changes will occur under the combination of netherworld energy and strong death energy.
However, in order to achieve this, combining death energy with nether energy has extremely high requirements for the quality of death energy.
In this case, according to Rhodes's prediction, except for the mastery of the legendary spiritualism itself, the death energy released by the rest of the mages seems to be difficult to meet this requirement, and it is impossible to make this situation occur.
In Rhodes' view, the special relationship between the netherworld energy and the death energy released by the legendary spiritualism undoubtedly explains its own quality.
It is precisely because of this that Rhodes has always believed that the way for the ghost dragon to break through its own limitations and enter the legendary creature exists in the nether energy.
As the most special existence among all kinds of death energy, Netherworld energy and its effects are naturally extremely extraordinary, and Rode, who has a legendary spiritualism, naturally has a deeper understanding.
On top of the ghost dragon's body, the new body formed by the fusion of netherworld energy and death energy undoubtedly freed it from its original limitations, and its overall ability was greatly improved.
Although after the transformation was completed, Rhodes did not let the ghost dragon make a move in the battle, but Rhodes believed that the ghost dragon would show his strength sooner or later.
At this time, what Rhodes perceived was the ghost dragon's powerful ability to hide its own aura, to a large extent, based on this overall state.
Under the influence of the nether energy, the overall body of the ghost dragon appeared relatively illusory, just like a real ghost dragon.
The ghostly aura brought to the ghost dragon is this powerful concealment ability, even if he relied on the spiritual imprint to detect the location of the ghost dragon, but in Rod's perception, this position was empty, and there was nothing related to the ghost dragon, which undoubtedly made Rod extremely concerned.
