At the same time, a total of four elf rangers gave up on the undead creatures fighting in front of them and rushed towards North's position.
North never expected that an inconspicuous necromancer like himself would attract the enemy's attention in this kind of battle and become their primary target. According to common sense, there are so many enemies in the field.
, these rangers should never take action against themselves.
If he could choose again, North would definitely follow the Lich every step of the way instead of staying alone in the field to observe, but now, North obviously does not have such an opportunity.
Seeing that these elves ignored the surrounding undead creatures and rushed directly towards him, North was just about to cast a spell to resist, but the support from the lich arrived first.
Although she had not yet agreed to join the battle, Elsa did not allow the elf ranger to launch an attack on North. As soon as it raised its hand, it released a large number of death clouds, completely covering North, directly isolating him.
Central location.
Seeing the cloud of death surrounding him, North breathed a sigh of relief. Now he finally didn't have to face those powerful elf rangers. But before he could calm down for a while, there was a strange movement above his head, which suddenly made him
I was shocked.
An elf in black costume jumped up and used his body to break through the blockade of the Death Cloud.
Under the erosion of the death energy, the flesh and blood on the elf's face twisted, with faint signs of melting. There was no trace of the magnanimity that once belonged to this creature. The only thing North could feel was a sense of determination.<
/p>
Faced with such an elf who used his own body to break through the blockade of the cloud of death, North felt a panic. He quickly raised his hand and wanted to attack the elf just like the last time he dealt with the unexpected elf in the quiet room.
Release acid at the enemy in front of you.
However, this time, North was not so lucky. The enemy in front of him was faster than him. As soon as North raised his hand, the elf's blade had already arrived.
The next moment, the hand that North raised, including his palm and forearm, fell directly downwards. As the sound of falling to the ground came, blood began to splash out.
The moment he was attacked, North felt his right arm go cold. The acid that was supposed to be ejected from the space ring could not be released. It was not until severe pain came that North realized what had happened.<
/p>
Just when North was wailing, the elf in front of him naturally would not miss this opportunity. He waved the long knife in his hand and killed North with the next blow.
With a crisp sound, the long knife hit the dark green barrier. The elf took a closer look. From unknown time on, a dark green barrier had covered North's side. He waved the weapon with all his strength.
The blow left no trace on the barrier at all.
As if realizing something, the elf waved the long knife in his hand impatiently, trying to destroy the barrier in front of him before he died, but it was to no avail. No matter how hard he struck, he could not destroy the barrier in front of him.
Soon, the elf's figure was submerged in the spreading cloud of death, and no breath came out.
North, who was inside the barrier, looked at the cloud of death that was completely close to the dark green barrier in front of him, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was still in unbearable pain, his life was saved at least.
Shrouded under the powerful shield cast by the Lich, North naturally does not have to worry about anyone being able to break through the barrier. Several elves that attacked previously may have fallen under the influence of the cloud of death.
In order to repair the injuries on his body, North cast healing magic on himself one after another, but the effect of this spell was not significant. Instead, the pain at the wound doubled during the process of repairing the wound.
Covering his wound, North seemed to have thought of something and felt extremely regretful.
North understood that the holder of the artifact would not be injured so easily in battle. The injuries on his body could only show one thing, that is, he was not the real holder of the artifact at all.
The severe pain did not paralyze North's thoughts, but made his thoughts clearer. North could now think clearly about things that were difficult to detect in the past.
He found the broken arm from the ground beside him, tremblingly took off the space ring on his finger, and carefully put it on the remaining left hand. North also put the broken hand into the space ring.
Until now, North can't believe that his arm was cut off by the enemy.
In North's impression, in addition to the healing magic cast by the legendary mage, which can reconnect severed limbs, there are other ways to achieve this effect, but they all require extremely precious materials. With North's current ability,
It is naturally impossible to collect these things.
As if to distract himself and relieve the pain in his body, North thought about what to do next.
North thought that when he returned, his identity would naturally not be hidden from King Diya. Perhaps he should inform the Lich in detail about his plan and admit that he was just a chosen puppet and that he came here to perform the Lich's mission.
.
Due to the power of the Lich in Diya, the king naturally did not dare to do anything to North, and would still proceed according to the Lich's plan. North himself could survive and continue to advance the campaign step by step.
Thinking of Asri's deliberate failure to reveal her identity to the king, North always felt that he failed to understand her meaning. North had a hunch that once he revealed his true identity, he might miss something.
At this moment, North recalled his time in the city of Saou. He gave up everything before and followed Rhodes to Diya in order to become a real necromancer, not a puppet controlled by the lich.<
/p>
A real necromancer... North was suddenly confused as to what choice he would make if he were a real necromancer in this situation.
For some reason, the appearance of Rhodes suddenly appeared in North's mind. In North's eyes, he is undoubtedly the real necromancer. If Rhodes were here, what choice would he make?
The gap between experience and knowledge meant that North had no suitable way to fully recover from his physical injuries, but he believed that if Rhodes were here, he would not let his true identity be exposed, no matter how many times it took.
Even the ordeals, Rhodes can handle them.
While North was thinking about how to deal with it, the dim light that was originally obscured by the cloud of death suddenly became brighter.
As the magic elements quickly dissipated and gradually returned to calm, the Hercules Aegis barrier that shrouded North had also dissipated.
