Chapter 148: Desperate
This is Rhodes' war.
The first few times he used the Safron Flame, Rhodes had been cautious - this extremely destructive flame, if one of them was not properly controlled, could turn against itself, blindly pursuing the power of Ragnaros, and it was very likely to cause bad consequences.
And this time, Rhodes let himself go.
In order to gain more control over this terrifying energy, Rhodes channeled the Safron Flame into his body, turning it into part of his own magical circuitry.
The heat burned Rhodes.
It was a pain that seemed to touch the depths of Rod's soul, and Rod felt that his internal organs were on fire, and his brain felt as if it was about to explode.
Indescribable.
This is completely different from the state of rising - the Safron Flame is the flame of Rod's seal, not the arcane flame created by Rod, and it is not only very difficult to contact this flame and forcibly manipulate this flame, but it will even destroy Rod's magic circuit.
And once the magic circuit is damaged...... I'm afraid many of Rod's spells won't work
But Rhodes ...... There is no other way.
As early as when he was communicating with LeBlanc, Rhodes was thinking about how he could get a "Valoran-style" power.
In other words, Rhodes wanted to get a piece of the power of runes.
According to Valoran's rules, as long as a certain energy reaches a certain threshold, there are runes - Rhodes brings a completely different power, and theoretically condenses the world runes.
However, the realm of arcane is simply too big.
As a result of too large a realm, the threshold for condensing runes is too high - although the condensed runes are likely to be at the level of world runes, which means that if you want to condense arcane runes...... Rhodes doesn't know how long it will take!
And if it is a rune that condenses the subordinates of the arcane rune (such as the arcane creation rune), this problem is smaller - unfortunately Rhodes can only shape magic, fire, frost, force field, these runes are already there.
Originally, Rhodes still had a lot of time to study slowly.
In Rod's plan, he should be a player who occupies a good trading base and happily farms.
But alas, there is no opportunity to farm now.
At the critical moment, Rhodes plans to forcibly condense a rune—the Suffron Flame Rune of the Flame Rune System!
The Saffron Flame is the flame of Rhodes' seal from Azeroth.
As long as he was in Valoran, Rhodes was able to fully control this power, and he would be able to condense this rune - although its strength would not be very large, it would deal with the Void Divine Envoy in front of him...... There is also a chance!
Especially the shattering of the judgment rune before, it gave Rhodes a deep inspiration for the world rune.
This time, I'll try to break through before the battle!
……………………
The Safron Flame ran through Rod's body—Rhodes tried his best to suppress the Safron Flame with arcane power, allowing it to follow the magic circuit.
It's that simple.
Inside, Rhodes was burned in agony by the flames of Safron; Outside, the irrepressible flames of Suffron blended into the Absolute Storm.
The tornado turned into a fire tornado.
Suffron's tongue of fire licked the Void Oracle's enchantment, and it didn't seem to have much effect at first.
But as Rod's Safron runes gradually condensed, the barrier finally had a tendency to fade.
And so it goes...... As long as Rhodes successfully condenses the Safron rune, he can destroy the Void Barrier of the Void Divine Envoy and complete the fatal blow.
Victory is in sight!
Rod's hair is rapidly changing from gray to pure white - I didn't expect that one day, Rod will also become a Khadgar-style young whitehead......
However, when everything seemed to be going in a very good direction, Rhodes realized that his mana was a little too much to hold.
Although it consumes a lot of life force, you want to condense a rune...... It's still too much to do!
What to do?
The simple diversion of life can no longer be sustained, according to Rhodes's calculations, if it continues like this, even before the Saffron rune is condensed, he will be finished!
Rhodes is not a warlock, the so-called "life diversion" of Rhodes is not that he has mastered the method of transforming life force, but simply overload and self-squeeze!
Condensing runes alone was already so difficult, not to mention that Rhodes had to bear some of his energy to interfere with the Void Divine Envoy!
If the Void Divine Envoy came to his side, Rhodes felt that he would probably eat a Hades Grip!
What to do?
Could it be that he hoped that before the Safron rune could be condensed, he would break through the defenses of the Void Divine Messenger?
This seems to be Rhodes' only chance!
Just as Rhodes was about to give it a go, either succeed or become a beneficiary, he suddenly noticed an unmoved object in the midst of the absolute storm.
When everything and existence explodes and destroys itself because of the Absolute Storm, Rhodes suddenly discovers something interesting.
————————
The reason why Rhodes chose to condense the Safron rune at this time was on the one hand because he had no bottom when he had not seen the judgment rune before, and on the other hand, because forcibly condensing the Safron rune would destroy his magic circuit.
In other words, forcibly condensing this Safron rune at the cost of Rhodes' already weakened spellcasting ability will be weakened again.
Having not encountered this kind of enemy before, Rhodes could have taken his time and farmed flat without hurrying - who knew that he was harassed in the process of farming.
So why is it that when there is no condensation of the Safron rune, all of Rhodes' attacks are ineffective, and once the Safron rune is condensed (or even only this tendency), the defense of the Void Divine Oracle's can be suppressed?
This is basically the difference between turning a creep attack into a hero attack - it is difficult to break through the Void's defenses without the power of runes, this is Valoran's rule.
