"Golem transforms!"

The power of the earth poured into the body, and the body was quickly wrapped in iron-like rocks, the height became five meters, the strength and physique instantly became thirty-four points, the defense power became level four, and the recovery power was doubled.

Rhodes swung his right fist, with incomparable power and sonic boom, slammed on the cell door, with a loud bang, connected to the wall of the cell, broke together, and smashed on the struggling and screaming residue, and the remaining ten forbidden runes were instantly activated.

"Quack~~!"

The residue screamed, the magic power suppressed by the forbidden runes was surging and wanton, the sound carried a huge amount of magic power, piercing the air, turning into a shock wave visible to the naked eye, and dozens of forbidden magic runes instantly lit up in the cell, directly canceling the magic power in the shock wave, Rhodes strode forward calmly, reaching out to absorb the magic power escaping in the air, Rhodes's spirit was for a while, and the total amount of magic power increased slightly.

Rhodes roared happily, like eating a delicious food: "This is the taste of the most authentic pure magic!" Even Regg's magic isn't so delicious, it's not the magic that is amplified by human runes, it's real magic. ”

Blue light came out of Rod's eyes, and the magic power poured out quickly, condensing into several huge magic tentacles, entangled the flesh and blood residues, and the devouring of his left arm was launched with all his might, but he couldn't swallow it, unlike Reg at that time, the resistance of the residue was very strong, and his form at this time was not an octopus.

"Wisdom core, use energy to assist me in devouring."

[Auxiliary absorption requires 20,000 energy, the estimated consumption time is 9 hours...... and the estimated effect: the depth of mana is increased by 10 points to 35 points; The maximum amount of mana is increased by 15 seconds to 30 seconds. 】

There were no accidents, and Rhodes even established a separate devouring model for this purpose, with a special devouring model as a reference, and the residue was still devoured even though it was powerful.

When Devour is complete, the mana depth becomes 35 and the maximum mana is 30S.

Rod looked up to the sky and smiled, his laughter full of pleasure.

How could he not be happy, because as the total amount of mana increases, the difficulty of increasing the depth of mana is also increasing, according to the calculation results of the wisdom core, every 10S change in the total amount of mana, it will make the difficulty of increasing the depth of mana 100 times more difficult than other attributes.

In other words, if you increase other stats from 35 to 36 and only need to consume 16,000 energy, then the mana depth will require 1,600,000 energy.

A full 1.6 million energy, but just now he only paid 20,000 energy, and he got ten points of magic depth, although Rod's feelings are relatively indifferent, but he is not an emotionless creature, he is already difficult to control himself at this time, this harvest is really surprising to him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rhodes is ready to improve his ability, first of all, the total amount of mana has increased again, and the recovery speed has already seemed a little slow, so he should first strengthen the Golem incarnation, and the expert-level earth power recovery speed can be tripled.

"Instantly upgrade Golem to expert level."

【…… Golem Avatar (Expert) has been upgraded, Strength and Constitution +1, Strength and Constitution Limit +1, and the depth of sword pressure has not changed. The special effect Golem transformation changes, becoming +9 Strength Constitution, -1 Agility Speed, +3 Extra Defense, and 3 times the recovery speed. Started transferring Golem Avatar (Master) with 780 days remaining ....... 】

The second is the Battle Magic Golem, as the only second-level ability, which is of course prioritized by Rhodes.

As the depth of mana becomes 35 points, the attributes of the battle puppet become 35 points, which is far beyond the limit that ordinary people can have, and the strength can be said to be greatly improved.

The Golem avatar reaches the expert level, and the mana recovery rate is increased again, shortening the summoning interval of the battle golem, and enhancing the usability of the battle golem in disguise.

Therefore, it is a good deal to upgrade the Battle Mana Golem.

"Wisdom Core, improve the battle magic puppet to the advanced level."

[Mana depth 35, meets the requirements...... After the Battle Magic Golem (Advanced) is upgraded, the golem's height has become 1.9 meters, and the damage reduction ability has become Advanced Perfection, please select the advanced trait. 】

The characteristics listed by the intelligence core are still mainly based on strengthening the ability to attack fortifications, and Rod takes it very seriously, especially the attack ability when facing masters.

Browse and find that there are both extremely explosive skills and constant armor-piercing skills.

From the perspective of the battle golem, the defense has reached +3/Advanced Perfection, which is sufficient; The attack power is obviously slightly insufficient, and when facing the master, it may not even be able to break through the defense, even if the battle puppet is a meat shield, but if it can't even break through the enemy's defense, the delay effect will inevitably be greatly reduced.

In the end, Rod chose the High Armor Breaker.

He doesn't need a battle golem to be a killer weapon, so he doesn't need explosive skills. He is already good at magic, enough to deal with the enemy's magic ability, and he doesn't need demon-breaking skills, so armor-piercing is the best choice at the moment.

[The advanced trait is selected, the advanced armor piercing selection is confirmed, and the effect is: When attacking, the enemy's defense level is regarded as -5.] 】

Rhodes is very satisfied with this trait, and it can be said that the battle golem already has the capital to become a powerful meat shield.

You must know that even if he launches an expert-level stone giant transformation, the total defense is only +5, and the high-level armor-piercing can directly erase the gap, and unlike the combat skills, the high-level armor-piercing of the battle puppet is a passive skill, and every attack is equivalent to launching a high-level armor-piercing combat skill.

After strengthening the battle puppet, it is to strengthen the basic runes, which are: Mana Control Rune (Intermediate), Mana Perception Rune (Advanced), Spiritual Resistance Rune (Intermediate), and Spell Resistance Rune (Intermediate)

There is nothing to say about these four items, all of them are runes that strengthen basic abilities.

Mana control runes can enhance mana control; Mana Perception Runes can increase Mana Perception strength and range; Psychic resistance runes can effectively resist abilities such as mind control; Spell Resistance Runes can consume mana to resist spells, which is the best option if you can't use Forbidden Runes.

"Wisdom core, upgrade the magic control rune, spirit resistance rune, spell resistance rune to the advanced level, and the magic perception rune to the expert level, without prompting, directly pay for energy."

[The mana perception rune does not meet the upgrade requirements, the mana requirement is quadrupled, and the mana perception rune (expert level) has been upgraded; Mana Control Rune (Advanced), Psychic Resistance Rune (Advanced), and Spell Resistance Rune (Advanced) have been upgraded. 】

Rod glanced at the remaining energy, after several strengthenings, the energy was 44,000 points, and then he looked at the strong skin, the stone giant incarnation has been strengthened, the power of the earth has become stronger, and the internal organs have been faintly unbearable.

Upgrading from Intermediate 2nd to Intermediate Consummation consumes 4000 Energy, Upgrading to Advanced Basic consumes 8000 Energy, Upgrading to Advanced Consummation consumes 16000 Energy, and Upgrading to Expert Basic consumes 16000 Energy.

That's exactly 44,000 energy left.

"Smart core, improve the damage reduction ability of strong skin."

【…… Tough Skin +2/Expert Basic, upgrade completed. 】

The unimaginable pain penetrated the internal organs in an instant, and Rod let out a muffled sound, almost falling, and the unimaginable pain of directly upgrading from the second class to the expert level foundation was unimaginable, like being put in a meat grinder and grinding it carefully, watching his body gradually disappear, it was unimaginable.

Fortunately, the pain came and went faster, and then the surging power of the earth began to fill the internal organs, and even if the stone giant transformation was not activated, the internal organs turned into iron and stone in an instant, gaining +5 defense and stronger repair ability.

In this way, the immortal body was initially achieved, and even in a normal situation, Rhodes was not afraid of internal organ damage at all, and ordinary poisons no longer posed a threat to him.
