The moment their eyes met, the Necromancer took the initiative to look away.
Rhodes looked at the tricks of the necromancer in front of him and was unmoved.
Rhodes knew that the purpose of the necromancer was not just to torture the apprentice.
At this time, the apprentice was no longer willing to remove another mental mark. The pain seemed to tear the entire head from the inside, making the apprentice feel great pain.
Faced with this situation, the necromancer in front of him turned cold and said in a deep voice to his apprentice: "To remove the spiritual mark, you just need to endure some pain. If you fail to complete this task, you will need to be severely punished!"<
/p>
"Perhaps you don't know, the more rewarding a task like this is, the heavier the punishment will be if you fail. If you fail to complete it, think about the punishment you may receive."
After listening, the apprentice's will relaxed a little, but he was still unwilling to remove the spiritual imprint.
"If you are a senior apprentice, there may be value in transforming it into an undead creature, but if you are an apprentice like you, once this mission fails, you may only be able to use it for undead transformation."
"Many powerful necromancers like to conduct this kind of experiment. Ordinary people are not qualified to transform the undead, and using senior apprentices to transform them will result in a lot of losses. An apprentice like you is just right."
"Do you know about the transformation of the undead? I have seen one of them before, which is to open your body while you are still alive and stimulate it with a series of undead spells! Or you can directly sew the undead crystal on your body.
Inside the body, see what reaction there will be!"
As he spoke, the undead mage in front of him showed a cruel and ferocious expression, but his eyes glanced at Rhodes again.
The apprentice was frightened by his words. He lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the undead mage in front of him. His body began to tremble uncontrollably. Rhodes, who was not far away, could see everything clearly.
Thinking of the possible punishment, the apprentice endured the pain and once again lifted the spiritual imprint of an undead creature.
The pain that reappeared directly filled the apprentice's mind. Due to the successive removal of spiritual imprints, the mental backlash became more and more intense, and the apprentice almost burst into tears.
At this time, even if the necromancer was still shouting something in front of the apprentice, the apprentice could not listen at all.
The apprentice's entire mind was almost torn apart by pain, and he could feel nothing but pain.
The apprentice's roar in pain attracted the other necromancers around him. These necromancers all looked here with interest, but did not take the initiative to approach.
When the pain passed, the apprentice's consciousness began to blur.
At this time, the apprentice suddenly saw that the necromancer in front of him had raised his hand and faced him.
Of course, apprentices are very familiar with this posture. It is exactly the preparatory action before casting a spell.
Before the apprentice could make any move, the voice of the necromancer came over.
"Unfortunately, if you cannot complete this task on your own, then I will help you complete it."
After realizing what the necromancer in front of him wanted to do, the apprentice wanted to hide behind him, but due to the severe pain and the overall slow response caused by fear, he could do nothing but tremble.
Seeing this situation, the necromancer said: "I will give you one last chance to remove the spiritual imprints of all undead creatures."
The voice turned colder, and although it no longer used a commanding tone, there was no doubt about its meaning.
Perhaps it is the fear of death that deeply stimulates the apprentice in front of him. Compared with it, enduring some pain may really be nothing.
With this courage emerging from his heart, the apprentice completely ignored the pain caused by removing the spiritual imprint, with veins popping up on his face, and removed all the remaining spiritual imprints.
As the spiritual imprint of the last undead creature was removed, the apprentice felt a sense of relief. Although there was still severe pain in his mind, at least the task was completed, he would not be punished, and he would be rewarded... At this time, a magic arrow shot out quickly. The unsuspecting apprentice obviously did not expect this and was killed instantly.
"Hahahaha..."
The necromancer who killed the apprentice laughed wildly, with a crazy expression on his face.
Dealing with corpses all year round, watching the apprentices around them die one by one, with their hands stained with the blood of innocents... For the necromancers in the Necromancy Academy, there are always only a few people who can always be firm-minded and remain calm. More apprentices, after becoming slightly stronger, fall into madness once they leave the apprenticeship level. For apprentices who are weaker than themselves, if they find an opportunity, they will mock or even kill them directly.
After laughing for a while, the necromancer's expression gradually recovered, and at the same time he said to the apprentice on the ground:
"Stop being ridiculous, this mission is not prepared for you, it is prepared for those foreign necromancers... If you, an apprentice, dare to take on this mission, it only shows that you are overestimating your capabilities!"
Even when facing a dead corpse, the necromancer in front of him still did not forget to mock it.
The deceased apprentice may have been just an ordinary person before joining the Necromancer Academy. Because of this, the apprentice had very little experience.
Not every apprentice aspires to become a powerful necromancer. Many apprentices choose to join the academy just to avoid being killed by necromancers who are passing by.
But similarly, since the apprentice chooses to take over the task, he must also pay the price for his choice.
For inexperienced apprentices, if there is no one to guide them and their own strength and methods are not outstanding, death is their final fate.
At this time, the Necromancer's eyes turned to Rhodes who was standing aside.
The necromancer did not know what method he used, but the undead creatures around him did not move at all after removing the spiritual imprint, and still stayed in place.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Rhodes was still calm.
The necromancer was obviously disappointed that Rhodes had not made any movement. In his thoughts, during the process of torturing the apprentice just now, Rhodes would have some reaction no matter what.
"You are the necromancer from outside the academy, right? So, are you ready for the next task?"
Before Rhodes could answer, the necromancer in front of him continued: "In the northeast, there are many dwarf villages. Due to the cooperation between the dwarf villages, our offensive has not been able to make much progress. What you need to do
, is to cut off the supply in the village."
"The specific information about the mission, the spiritual mark in the academy badge will be conveyed to you. If I remember correctly, there are not many necromancers willing to go to that location. I think your strength is very suitable for this mission."
"How about, can you deal with those dwarves?"
The necromancer looked at Rhodes, hoping to use this series of actions to create some loopholes in Rhodes. Rhodes had no expression on his face and just nodded.
"Very well, you can take these walking corpses away. Besides, this is Black Crow's reward for coming here."
After saying that, the necromancer raised his hand and threw it, and a black shadow shot towards Rhodes instantly.
At this time, the bat on Rhodes' shoulder moved. The bat jumped out and faced the black shadow that was shooting towards him. Then, the bat returned to Rhodes' shoulder.
With the sound of "crash", a large number of gold coins scattered down and landed in front of Rhodes.
At this time, a broken black cloth bag fell from the sky.
