Chapter 853: Traces One

Through his own perception, for the extremely balanced strength of this group of corpse witches in the Soul Tower, Rhodes faintly sensed some abnormalities.

In addition, before that, Brown, who had entered the Soul Tower first, was also transformed into a corpse witch in such a short period of time, and appeared in front of him in the form of such an undead creature, Rod was also extremely surprised.

In Rod's opinion, this is something that the necromancer cannot achieve by conventional means, and it must rely on some other things.

No matter how accurate the necromancer's processing during the transformation process is, it is impossible to get a corpse witch with exactly the same strength, not to mention that it is not as simple as letting several corpse witches have the same strength, all the corpse witches in front of him have exactly the same strength.

Since the necromancer's own means alone cannot do this, in Rhodes' opinion, only with the help of the power of the artifact can he have a chance to achieve this situation, and apart from the artifact, Rhodes can't think of anything that can do this.

In Rod's impression, as the leader of many necromancers in the second expansion, Sandru has such an artifact in his hands, which can transform all dead regular creatures, regardless of rank, into corpse witches.

And Sandru himself, also relying on this massive number of corpse witches, united with many necromancers in Diane, and achieved a great victory in the early stage of the Death Shadow Campaign, once declaring war on all creatures of other races.

These corpse witches, because they are transformed under the influence of artifacts, have many characteristics that appear to be quite consistent with each other, including the rank they have, as well as the special skills corresponding to the rank.

In Rhodes' opinion, the corpse witch that exists in this level of the Soul Calling Tower belongs to such a special situation. The traces on these corpse witches have proved to Rhodes that they were transformed by Sandru through artifacts.

Before coming to Deya, Rhodes was still thinking about where the corpse witch under Sandru was in Diya. For this incomparably large number of corpse witch legions, and the strength symbolized by these corpse witches, Rhodes has been concerned for a long time.

What Rhodes didn't expect was that he would be able to see the traces of these corpse witches inside the Soul Tower, and a conflict broke out with these corpse witches.

Just as Rhodes was observing the corpse witches, there was a sudden change in the field.

Unlike Rhodes himself, who can rely on the existence of legendary-level spiritualism to resist the erosion of the surrounding clouds of death, and even absorb them in turn, those bats in the field have a tendency to be unsupportable.

Rod noticed that the rank of these corpse witches had all reached the top of the fifth order, and they were only a little short of becoming a real high-level undead creature, that is, the existence of the corpse witch king.

It's just that because these corpse witches themselves have reached this rank under the influence of artifacts, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult for these corpse witches to complete the leap of rank by relying on their own ability.

Relying on the efficacy of the artifact, although these corpse witches had the strength of the peak of the fifth order from the beginning, the existence of the artifact also limited these corpse witches to this rank.

As a fifth-order corpse witch who is only one step away from high-level creatures, the cloud of death released through them naturally has an extremely powerful effect, which can corrupt all conventional creatures.

Even vampires, who are also undead creatures, are unable to resist the erosion of death energy through the bats they have transformed.

Under the pressure of the cloud of death, even if the bat is accidentally contaminated with a trace of dark green gas, it will immediately lose control of its body shape and fall directly into the large cloud of death below.

The bats that were directly covered by the cloud of death had no breath, and even if the cloud of death gradually dissipated, there was no trace of bats in it.

The dark green cloud of death, illuminated by the turquoise glow of the inner Soul Tower, took on a unique glow that made the creatures watching the gas shudder even more.

Rhodes didn't feel any surprise at the massive dissipation of bats in the cloud of death.

Rhodes knew that due to the particularity of the spell of the Cloud of Death, whether it was the power of the spell or the object that could be used, it was directly linked to the concentration of death energy, and in most cases, the concentration of death energy also represented the level of spiritualism.

Once a creature in the Cloud of Death has a level of spiritualism that exceeds that of the Cloud of Death's releaser, the existence of the Cloud of Death will not be able to cause any damage to it.

Rhodes was able to convert the cloud of death, in turn, into his own mana, relying more on the existence of legendary spiritualism. For other necromancers, even if they have a high level of spiritualism, they will not be able to achieve this until they reach the legendary level.

For this reason, the existence of the Cloud of Death is also the best way to identify a necromancer's level of spiritualism.

And in Rod's perception, according to the correspondence between the ranks, these corpse witches at the peak of the fifth order in front of him have a level of spiritualism at least the grandmaster, and they are not far from even an epic level of spiritualism.

In this case, relying on Seli's original spiritualism alone, it was naturally difficult to withstand the cloud of death of this level.

Through his own perception, Rhodes confirmed that after the cloud of death released by many corpse witches at the same time, under the superposition of death energy, the corresponding level of spiritualism is no longer the grandmaster level of a single corpse witch, but has truly reached the category of epic level, and even more powerful than this.

The cloud of death released by many corpse witches, under the superposition of death energy, the corresponding level of spiritualism will change substantially. This change will become even more pronounced as the number of necro witches increases. This is also the reason why the undead lords in the territory of Diya attach great importance to the number of corpse witches under their command.

In Rod's opinion, even if it is a cloud of death cast by a real lich, it may not be more than this in terms of concentration, and only Rhodes himself can rely on the powerful level of spiritualism to ignore the erosion of these clouds of death.

Just when the cloud of death that permeated the Rhodes observation field, coupled with the existence of these corpse witches, Rod keenly noticed that under the effect of the death cloud, there were fewer and fewer bats still alive, and a large number of bats had dissolved into the death cloud released by the corpse witch.

Seeing this, Rhodes no longer waited, but was ready to rely on his own means to deal with the corpse witches that existed around him.
