Chapter 1078: The Altar
Rhodes had a hunch in his heart that if he allowed these ice elementals to leave, once they spread the news of the Bone Fish King to other elementals in the entire water elemental plane, perhaps his plan to return to the main plane would be greatly hindered.
Whether it was the gathering of the Bone Fish King or the act of going to pursue, it was all carried out under the control of Rod, and without Rod's control, the undead creatures would not be able to make such a move.
In Rhodes's opinion, if there is no arrival of his own and the gathering of the Bone Fish King, the most likely fate of these Bone Fish Kings is to be wiped out by the water elemental people one by one, causing the number to drop sharply, which is also the disadvantage of the undead creatures after losing the control of the necromancer.
In terms of rank, any Bone Flying Fish surpasses the Water Elemental Man and the Ice Elemental Man, but the strength shown is obviously not the case, and the Bone Fish King can only show the power of the Corpse Witch King after gathering in large numbers.
The water elemental people are undoubtedly the biggest difficulty that Rhodes will face when he wants to break away from the water elemental plane, and these creatures who have ruled the water elemental plane for countless years will not let this place be occupied by undead creatures.
Returning to the main plane is one thing that Rhodes must achieve, and there are still many things in the main plane waiting for Rhodes to achieve, so even if there are more water elementals trying to stop them, Rhodes will destroy them one by one.
Led by Rod, the Bone Fish King quickly caught up with the Ice Elementals who were trying to flee and shrouded them with a cloud of death.
After casting teleportation several times, it was difficult for the Ice Elementals to cast the same spell again, and they could only fall under the erosion of death energy in the end, and the counterspells they released were also unable to break through the barrier of the Cloud of Death.
Taking out the elemental core of the ice elemental man and putting it into the spatial ring, Rod's perception did not stay on the elemental core for long, but on the things he saw in front of him.
In the process of chasing and killing the fleeing ice elementals, Rhodes did not care about the surrounding environment, in Rhodes' eyes, there was an ocean all around, and it was difficult for him to see any difference from the environment of an ocean.
The only thing Rhodes could feel was that the many ice elementals fled in a surprisingly consistent direction without clear command, as if for them, as long as they could escape somewhere, it would be considered safe, and that direction happened to point to somewhere under the sea.
After discovering this situation, even though all the ice elementals had fallen under the effect of the cloud of death, Rhodes did not give up tracking, and he was still a little curious about the area where these ice elementals planned to flee.
At Rhodes' signal, the Bone Fish King, who had originally gathered, quickly set off, preparing to explore the area where the Ice Elementals planned to flee.
Especially in places that cannot be reached by the underwater line of sight, these bone fish kings need to focus on exploration, and in Rhodes's opinion, the place where the ice elementals are pinned on is likely to be near the water.
The form of the undead creatures allowed these bone fish kings to reach deeper underwater without fear of the pressure generated around them, which even Rhodes could not achieve.
Rhodes had the impression that if the lich he had seen had come here, perhaps they would have been able to do the same, diving deep underwater without worrying about physical damage.
Due to the fact that he had not yet undergone the transformation of the Endless Night Ritual, Rhodes was still limited by his body itself, and could only move in areas close to the surface of the sea, and could not dive to deeper areas.
While waiting for the Bone Fish King to explore the surrounding area, Rhodes took out the elemental core he had obtained earlier and examined it.
There is no difference from the elemental core that Rod once obtained, the elemental core that Rod held in his hand is similar to an irregular hard solid, the only special thing is that the elemental core can attract the surrounding water magic elements at all times, and with the unique effect of the magic talisman, Rod passively recovers mana faster.
Soon, the news from the spiritual imprint disrupted Rod's observation of the elemental core.
Just a short distance below, the Bone Fish King found the location where the Ice Elemental was trying to flee and reported the news back to Rhodes.
Hanging this elemental core on his body to restore more mana, and after estimating that the location of this place was still in the area he could reach, Rhodes no longer hesitated, and immediately controlled the snake corpse witch king to swim downward.
During the dive of the Serpentine Corpse Witch King, Rhodes obviously felt a tightness in his ears, as if he was being held down by a pair of invisible hands, and at the same time, his chest was also stuffy, and the deeper he went underwater, the stronger this feeling became.
Seeing this, Rhodes asked the Serpentine Witch King to slow down his dive to avoid further discomfort.
The light gradually dimmed, and the creatures that originally existed around him had already been cleared by the Bone Fish King, and in the dim environment, according to the guidance of the Bone Fish King, Rhodes finally found the anomaly they had discovered.
It was a huge altar floating beneath the water's surface, and from a distance, Rhodes could determine that its upward side was round, and that it was carved with quaint and esoteric patterns that, with Rhodes' occult level, could not tell what meaning these lines contained.
As Rhodes approached, the elemental core he had been hanging on his body suddenly began to heat up and tremble violently.
Rhodes held the elemental core in his hand, and just tried to put it into the space ring, he felt a burst of resistance, and the elemental core at this time could no longer be included in the space ring.
Rhodes seemed to realize something, and threw the elemental core onto the altar.
As soon as the elemental core touched the altar, an astonishing change occurred on it, and under Rod's gaze, along with the massive condensation of magical elements, an illusory silhouette began to appear around the elemental core, completely enveloping it.
A familiar figure appeared in front of Rhodes again, it was the ice elemental man who was killed by the Bone Fish King not long ago, and at this time, it had already recovered its full body.
The newly resurrected Ice Elemental People didn't realize what was happening, and the Bone Fish Kings around them immediately took action, releasing clouds of death one after another, enveloping the Ice Elementals on the altar.
With the erosion of the cloud of death, the consciousness of the ice elemental fell silent, and the elemental core reappeared, but when it came into contact with the altar below again, it immediately regained the body of the ice elemental itself under the effect of the altar below.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Rhodes set his eyes on the altar in front of him, and he seemed to have recognized the origin of this unique altar in front of him.
