Looking at Elsa, whose form had changed greatly in front of him, Rhodes fell into silence for a moment. He did not expect that the powerful lich with a skeletal body would look like this after returning to human form.
In Rhodes' view, Elsa, as an immortal lich, should be a formidable and terrifying existence after she returns to human form. Her face should be covered with abscesses, preferably with a few.
Damn, how else would she qualify as a lich? I didn’t expect her to have such an appearance.
Looking at Elsa in front of him, Rhodes felt that the temperament she displayed was no less than that of the elves in Eli. However, Rhodes calmed down immediately. He knew that the true form of the creature in front of him was just a human body.
Just skeletons.
Not only Elsa's existence, Rhodes noticed that Kasery on the side also seemed to have changed. The sharp fangs protruding from the mouth were gone, and his face became harder, and a special aura emerged from it.
He rose up, covered by his gray-white cloak, like a real king.
From Kesery's eyes, Rhodes saw a sense of scrutiny, as if he was making some kind of special decision in his heart, and this move was also related to himself.
"I believe that at this time, you already have the same perception as me."
North's words came to his ears, and Rhodes came back to his senses from the changes around him. Regardless of paying attention to everything around him, Rhodes looked ahead at North, who had already returned to his human form.
Rhodes realized that all the abnormalities that appeared in front of him were inseparable from North. It was his hand holding his that caused these changes to occur.
He clenched his restored fleshy palm into a fist and felt the familiar touch of flesh and blood when his fingertips touched his palm. Rhodes simply commented: "Interesting ability..."
Recalling that when North had just met him, he commented that he had not changed at all. At this time, Rhodes also understood the meaning of his words. In North's perception, his body had always been in this form, and there was nothing in it.
Any changes.
Seemingly realizing something, Rhodes turned around and looked at Leah beside him, only to see a scene he had not expected.
In Rhode's sight, there was no existence of Leah. What existed in Leah's position was only a skeleton creature without any flesh and blood in its body. With no rank, it was not even comparable to the lowest-level skeleton soldier. Through his own keen perception, Rhodes discovered that the skeleton on the skeleton was faintly trembling. As if aware of Rhodes' gaze, he lifted up the gray hand bones, placed them in front of the skull, shook them twice, and then put them down again. At the same time, its upper and lower jaws are constantly opening and closing, and its pale teeth swing together with the jaw bones, giving people a cold and ferocious feeling.
Combined with Leah's previous actions, Rhodes seemed to realize the meaning of these actions of the skeleton creature in front of him. However, what surprised Rhodes was that he could not hear any voice belonging to Leah.
Skeleton creatures without rank naturally have no way to make their own sounds. Rhodes was able to make sounds in the skeleton state thanks to the effect of the ritual itself.
In addition, Rhodes' perception seems to be also affected by North's ability. At this time, Rhodes can no longer sense the existence of Leah. It seems that what appears in front of him is really just an ordinary person.
Skeleton Soldier.
In this state, any action Leah makes is in vain, unless she also enters this special state, or makes an action that is enough to attract the attention of other creatures.
This discovery made Rhodes a little indifferent for a while. After a moment of silence, Rhodes said to the people around him: "I have some things that I want to confirm with North alone. Please stay away for a while."
Seeing that Rhodes seemed to have no interest in other things, Elsa snorted softly, then turned around and left from the depths of the quiet room, followed by other beings.
Soon, only Rhodes and North were left in the space deep in the quiet room. Looking at North, who had fully recovered his human form, Rhodes asked first: "What ability is this? It doesn't feel like mental magic.
, could it be a kind of witchcraft? It seems that you have gained a lot during this period of time."
In Rhode's perception, the flesh and blood existing outside his bones is not an illusion to the naked eye. When his limbs touch each other, he can feel an obvious touch, the restoration of perception, and the complete shielding of the sounds of ordinary creatures.
Mental magic cannot achieve this effect.
Rhodes was naturally curious about this extremely special ability, so he took the initiative to ask North about it.
Hearing Rhodes' inquiry about this ability, North sighed: "Honestly, I don't know what this ability is. I just used my hands to transfer everything I sensed to you, so that
You have the same perception as me."
As he spoke, North raised his right hand and gestured to Rhodes.
Rhodes noticed that the fingers on North's right hand were longer than those of ordinary creatures. Rhodes had already noticed this when North stretched out his hand for the first time. However, Rhodes at the time thought it was flesh and blood.
What appeared to be normal phenomena after drying out is obviously not the case now.
Recalling the shriveled appearance of North's right hand when he first stretched out his hand, something seemed to flash in Rhode's mind, so he asked:
"This shouldn't be your original arm."
Without denying this to Rhodes, North directly admitted what Rhodes said: "The original owner of this arm was the once legendary lich Erich, and the perception you have now is also based on its power.
”
Following North's words, a special death energy emerged from his arm, which was exactly what Rhodes felt outside the castle.
After realizing the source of this special death energy, the way Rhodes looked at North gradually changed.
In Rhodes' view, North had obviously gone through a witchcraft ritual like body modification, replacing his original arm with the token that another lich had taken out, that is, Erich's arm.
Rhodes recalled that body replacement is very common in the underground world where magicians live, especially arm replacement. Among players in previous lives, some chose to replace their arms with huge tentacles, and some replaced their original arms with sharp blades.
In order to obtain stronger combat capabilities.
Rhodes was not curious about how North did this. What concerned him was the reason why North chose to do this. In Rhode's view, he was already on the road to realizing his own will.
