In places within the barrier that cannot be reached by human sight, the bodies of the creatures that originally fell under the cloud of death are undergoing rapid changes.
Most of the eroded flesh and blood faded away from their bones, and scarlet light burst out from their originally dim eyes. As the bodies stood up again, a large number of Corpse Witch Kings were born.
The Corpse Witch King, who exists in the same kind of death cloud, is not affected by the death energy. They focus on the white barrier not far away.
As if receiving some kind of instruction, at the same time, these Corpse Witch Kings raised their hands and cast the Cloud of Death towards the white barrier.
The superimposed cloud of death became more powerful, instantly suppressing the white barrier inward. The sharp reduction in the range of the barrier immediately frightened all the creatures inside, and the fear of death filled their hearts.
As time passes, screams, cries and wailings within the barrier come and go.
At this moment, a priest in the barrier suddenly trembled all over his body, with a ferocious expression caused by pain. He was relying on his own strength to stabilize the barrier that was gradually being compressed.
Rhodes sensed this scene through his Corpse Witch King, and he roughly guessed how the priest achieved this.
In Rhode's impression, the priests and monks of Erathia master a variety of spiritual secrets, such as permanently depleting spiritual attributes in exchange for a large amount of mana, or in exchange for a huge increase in spell effects, all of which are under the priest's control.
Within the scope of their abilities, this is also the difference between them and orthodox mages.
In his previous life, Rhodes was a little confused that such a powerful secret technique was not owned by the mages of Brakada, but appeared in priests and monks.
It was not until later, after his own investigation, that Rhodes understood that in Brakada, this type of secret method was classified into the ranks of sorcery, and orthodox mages were not allowed to master it at all.
Once a mage is confirmed to have mastered this secret technique, members of the magic guild will forcibly exile him to other areas outside Bracada, and may even be accompanied by more severe punishments.
Because of this, even in the previous game, Rhodes rarely heard of mages who mastered such secret techniques.
At this time, it appeared in front of Rhodes that the priest used to resist the erosion of the cloud of death. It was such a secret method belonging to the priest.
Relying on the reckless loss of mental power, any priest who uses the secret method can endure for a long time in front of a powerful enemy, and even defeat enemies of a higher level than him.
Although after the battle, due to the side effects of using the secret technique, the priest's spirit will be in a severely weakened state and will not be able to recover for a long time, but this choice is obviously more worthwhile than dying directly in the battle.
Inside the barrier, several more members dressed as monks cast the same secret technique. For a moment, the barrier, which had been suppressed and shrunk and could be broken through at any time, suddenly stabilized and drove away a lot of the surrounding death energy. For ordinary corpse witches, releasing the cloud of death is their only ability, and it is not limited by mana. Just like elemental creatures casting spells, the same is true for the corpse witch king.
In this case, these monks may be able to resist the erosion of the cloud of death by consuming mana and sacrificing their spiritual attributes, but this is certainly not a long-term solution. There will always be a time when everything is consumed.
On the contrary, the Corpse Witch King does not have to worry about this.
If the consumption continues like this, the final result will definitely be beneficial to Rhodes, but at this time, Rhodes does not want to be dragged down by this team of monks, so he raises his hand to condense a bolt of lightning.
Lightning, filled with a lot of Rhode's mana, shot straight down from the sky, opened a bright path through the dark cloud of death, and finally hit the white barrier.
The jumping lightning instantly destroyed the original balance of the barrier and completely shattered it.
Being attacked by this lightning, all the monks and priests who guided the existence of the barrier felt a strong shock in their minds, as if they were hit by a heavy hammer.
The white barrier released by the monk may have excellent resistance to the erosion of the cloud of death, but it is powerless when faced with other types of spells.
Without the protection of the barrier, the cloud of death spread rapidly and instantly engulfed all the creatures in the barrier.
In the air, Rhodes, who was on the ghost dragon, saw this scene and felt quite satisfied.
Just when Rhodes was planning to use the flying ghost dragon to continue to break down possible resistance in the city, he suddenly discovered something abnormal in his perception.
The abnormality in blood perception is an existence that Rhodes has to pay attention to. Following the call in perception, Rhodes makes the ghost dragon climb rapidly.
Soon, the ghost dragon rose to the right shoulder of the Titan Corpse Witch King, and Rhodes also saw Luo Lin standing on the blade of the Titan Corpse Witch King.
The original operation was out of some worries. Rhodes did not plan to ask Rowling to follow him. Instead, he planned to lead the Titan Corpse Witch King alone to capture this area and wait for everything to be completed before letting Rowling come here.
at.
Relying on the efficacy of the artifact, Rhodes can control the Titan Corpse Witch King at will even without the existence of spiritual imprint. The only regret is probably that he cannot gain any experience points in the process.
What Rhodes was worried about was not that Rowling was not strong enough to deal with the enemies in front of her, but what impact the scene in this operation would have on Rowling.
In Rhodes' view, although Rowling has little resistance to necromancy, it would be extremely difficult for her to truly use killing to transform a large number of undead creatures like a necromancer.
Based on his understanding of Rowling, Rhodes realized that although she had already acquiesced in her actions, it was not easy for her to do these things herself.
In the past, Rowling had cast spells on many powerful beings, but never on ordinary creatures. It was precisely because of this concern that Rhodes did not plan to let Rowling follow her.
Before arriving at Harmondale with space calibration, Rhodes also told Rowling that after opening the door to time and space, she only needed to let the Titan Corpse Witch King enter, and she did not have to enter herself.
, waiting for her to convey other news through blood perception, Luo Lin also directly agreed, but this happened.
In order to deal with the creatures in the city, Rhodes did not pay attention to this at the first time. It was not until then that he felt the abnormality in his blood perception, and then he discovered Rowling's existence.
