Chapter 238: Rod's Spell Countermeasures
Karthas was confident in his requiem.
While this move has many limitations—including not being able to move, concentrating on casting, not being able to defend itself, and so on—it is also a combination of cumbersome and complex limitations.
The first few times Rhodes was so anxious in front of this spell that he had to abandon the advantage of the long-range turret and rush over to forcibly interrupt it.
Although Rhodes was able to barely mitigate this damage by turning himself into the state of Safron Flame, judging from his performance at the time, the effect of the Requiem was still very good.
Now that Karthas has been strengthened in the Immortal Fortress, he has the confidence to let Rhodes get lost in his "beautiful singing".
The thought of all of this excites Karthas – it means that his death choir will have a great baritone.
Why is Karthas so confident?
The reason is simple, there are powerful hallucinogenic enchantments outside the Immortal Fortress, and once the barrier is activated, anyone who focuses their attention on the Immortal Fortress will produce all kinds of incredible illusions, and these illusions can greatly reduce the will to resist.
It is easy for people who don't have the will to resist to listen to an entire piece of music – and as a result, they become lonely ghosts who have lost their bodies.
Hammerstone had already opened the enchantment, and he was now carrying a lantern and fantasizing about collecting a lot of souls.
And Karthas, who was singing about death, had been paying attention to the performance of Rhodes and the others, and Rhodes and the others were not surprised by him, and they were all staring at the Immortal Fortress.
It's done.
At this moment, Karthhas finally felt a burst of relief...... Wait, something is wrong!
The reaction to hearing the Requiem should not be motionless!
Looking at the puppet-like motionless guys outside the fortress, Karthas instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
At the end of the song, "Rod", "Lucian", "Cana" and "Jinx" all dissipated.
These...... It's all an illusion!
Karthas was stupid.
As he stood on top of the fortress, dumbfounded, a crisp burst of applause came.
"Well, I'm sorry - I seem to be late, did I miss anything?"
At the same time as the illusion disappeared, Rhodes appeared on the scene just right, with a reluctant "I'm confused" look on his face, and his acting skills were so exaggerated that Karthhas wanted to throw the staff over.
Damn, I was tricked!!
What's even more infuriating is that the second Jinx who appeared blinked hard as if she had just woken up - "Rod, where did you find an amateur singer, the lullaby sings quite well!" ”
"That's right!" Lucian also smiled, "I haven't slept so soundly in a long time. ”
Karthas knew very well that Rhodes was trying to provoke himself, so he kept himself in good self-restraint.
Well, I'm not angry, really not.
Keep smiling, yes, smiling......
Laugh at it, it's really infuriating!
My dignified Death Carol is in the middle of it...... It's empty?!
You know, the aura effect attached to the immortal fortress has greatly enhanced Karthus!
However, although Rhodes and his party have been sneering with their words, and although their hearts have exploded with anger, Karthas is still calm at least for now.
Death not only gave Karthas eternal life, but it also helped him get rid of a lot of distractions and troubles that he shouldn't have, so anger wasn't enough to make him lose his judgment—not even for a long time!
Wait, why the prolonged anger?
(For a long time, Rod stalling for time?) )
Why aren't there three of Rhodes' group?
(Zoe disappeared yesterday, and just now, after passing the Path of Enlightenment, Mokai and Yorick are gone!) )
Where did they go?
"That's right, we're here a long time ago!"
With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Karthas had an ominous premonition...... It's come true.
……………………
Let's turn back a little bit and see what happened here at Rhodes in the intervening period.
When they passed the path of enlightenment and were about to step into the portal and enter the Temple of Light, Rhodes and the others had already begun to prepare.
Several times before, Karthas had monitored Rhodes and his party silently, so Rhodes guessed that before entering the path of enlightenment, his party was definitely being monitored.
It's just that because of the particularity of the path of enlightenment, it is difficult to monitor here.
Considering that everyone will be the attacking side next, and the target of the attack is still the enemy's lair, the information must not be exposed as before in the away battle, so Rhodes decided to hide it from Karthas's eyes.
How to hide it?
The shroud in black fog made it impossible for Rhodes to find a trace of Karthas, so passive defenses were difficult to use.
Since passive defense is ineffective, take the initiative to master the rhythm.
If you don't want Karthas to hear the news, then find some work for Karthas.
Originally, Rhodes meant to make a noise, and he even prepared a battle plan, once he got entangled with Karthus, Yorick and Mokai went to find the arcane basement where Fukukoshima originally stored all the magic items - but as soon as he walked out of the portal, Karthhas rushed over to provoke.
Rhodes quite simply changed the battle plan as soon as possible, as if he had really been hit, and followed Karthas away.
And Lucian and the others were confused at first, and could only be forced to chase - and later, they also understood what Rod meant, and began to pretend to be trying to pursue, but in fact they were much behind.
And Rhodes released the mirror image under the cover of the flames - in fact, the few guys who were stunned when they saw the immortal fortress were Rhodes and the three transformed mirror images.
Normally, the "low-end" illusions of mirroring and transfiguration could not be hidden from Karthas, as long as he paid attention, these illusions could not hide from him at all.
But unluckily, Rode's hand illusion was learned from LeBlanc.
LeBlanc was once the Pale Lady under Maude Caesar, and her illusions didn't need to be very clever to hide the anti-illusion aura of the Immortal Citadel.
And due to the Immortal Fortress itself's powerful anti-illusion aura, this time Karthas didn't make the necessary confirmation before singing - his trust in the Immortal Fortress made him feel free.
(Rhodes had already turned himself into flames, and that stunned Rhodes was also a Transfiguration effect.) )
Just when Karthhas was frightened and angry by the sound coming from the arcane vault, Rhodes had already rubbed a giant flame burst that was more than a meter in diameter.
