As the two met, not only did Rhodes discover the abnormality in Ms. Spider, she also felt the abnormality in Rhodes' body.
"This kind of aura... As expected, you and I are serving the same devil."
Looking at the tall dark yellow demon, Ms. Spider took a deep breath, seemed to feel something, and said slowly.
"I heard that a demon who could spread diseases appeared near Moth City, so I came over to take a look. It should be you."
Rhodes nodded, not denying anything Ms. Spider said.
From her body, Rhodes faintly felt another kind of breath, which was the breath of death energy. According to Rhodes' understanding of the necromancer, the death energy exuded from her body corresponded to epic spiritualism.
What Rhodes was sure of was that, in addition to being a follower of the King of Plague, the woman in black dress in front of him was also a powerful necromancer.
Spider-shaped crest, death energy, black dress... Rhodes seemed to have remembered something. Everything shown by Ms. Spider was completely similar to a certain existence in his impression, but this was just Rhode's.
Feeling.
"Where is your plaguebringer? Where is it now?"
Just when Rhodes was looking at Ms. Spider, Ms. Spider seemed to have discovered something and asked Rhodes.
"Messenger of disease?"
Rhodes seemed a little confused and didn't understand what Ms. Spider was talking about.
Recalling that after being bitten by a spider, when you obtained [Water-soluble Plague], the system's description of this ability also mentioned that it could be spread by disease messengers.
Unfortunately, Rhodes didn't know what the plague messenger was referring to, and he didn't care at the time. It wasn't until Ms. Spider mentioned it again that Rhodes realized this.
"I don't have a Plaguebringer. I only gained these abilities not long ago." As if thinking of something, Rhodes spread his hands and said, "Maybe you can tell me what a Plaguebringer is?"
Ms. Spider glanced at Rhodes, with a hint of amusement in her eyes, and said, "You don't look scared at all. These disease messengers of mine, the water-soluble disease they carry on their bodies, can easily melt you and make your flesh and blood
, all the internal organs turned into a pool of yellow water."
Rhodes waved his hand: "I have experienced their power, but the disease you mentioned cannot be effective on me."
Sensing the threat in Ms. Spider's words, Rhodes' expression remained unchanged. After receiving Beelzebub's inheritance, all diseases were ineffective against him. On the contrary, after being bitten by those spiders, Rhodes was also released from the water-soluble plague.
method.
"Oh?" After hearing what Rhode said, Ms. Spider's expression changed. She slowly closed her eyes and felt the abnormality in Rhode's body. When she opened her eyes again, her expression was completely solemn.
"You have the blessing of that being... It seems that ordinary diseases are indeed ineffective against you, and you don't even have a disease messenger. What's going on?" She asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know what's going on, so I asked you what a disease messenger is." Rhodes said proactively without changing his expression.
Ms. Spider fell silent. After a while, she explained to Rhodes:
"The plague messenger is our partner. It and its affiliated groups can help us better spread the disease."
Rhodes nodded and immediately turned his attention to the nearby spiders: "They are your disease messengers, right?"
Ms. Spider shook her head, and then raised her hand to indicate to Rhodes the fat spider lying on top of her head: "To be precise, they are an affiliated group of the disease messengers. The spider above me is my disease messenger." "Is there only one plague messenger? Or can we control multiple ones?" After thinking about it, Rhodes asked.
After learning about the existence of the Diseasebringer from Ms. Spider, Rhodes realized that this seemed to be an excellent opportunity to improve his abilities.
As for the power in Beelzebub's inheritance, Rhodes doesn't know how to use it for the time being. He can only know a thing or two from Beelzebub's followers like Spider Lady.
"We can control up to three disease messengers, but in many cases, one is enough and there is no need for so many."
As she spoke, Ms. Spider leaned forward slightly, and soon, a tiny spider climbed up her arm and stopped in her palm. There was also a deep yearning in her eyes.
"Legend has it that the King of Disease controls the three strongest messengers of disease, namely the giant rat, the giant mosquito, and the blood fly. They spread the disease throughout the world, and there is no power that can stop them."
Hearing what Ms. Spider said, Rhodes took a deep look at her. She obviously knew more about the King of Disease than Rhodes, and she was also more comprehensive.
Shaking his head, Rhodes seemed to have thought of something and asked: "If I find a suitable creature, how can I make it become my disease messenger?"
"Conclude a contract with it and give it the power that belongs to the King of Disease. Don't you even know this?" As she said this, Ms. Spider glanced at Rhodes with some suspicion.
Rhodes was about to say something, but suddenly, his expression was startled. Several new prompts appeared in the system log, and in addition, there was also a dark yellow panel.
…………
"Receive special energy."
"Analysis and processing in progress..."
"Checking its own status..."
"The conditions are met! Start the inheritance mission: King of Ghosts."
[Inheritance Mission: King of Ghosts]
[Mission Introduction: A long time ago, the King of Ghosts died in the hands of the hero of light. Unwilling to be reconciled, he left his own power behind, waiting for a suitable successor to appear...]
[Mission goal 1: Control a disease messenger.]
[Failure condition: Break the Gluttony Contract.]
[Failure penalty: None.]
…………
Rhodes was a little surprised when he noticed the prompts in the system log and the extra inheritance tasks, but for him, this was obviously a good thing.
Because he is in the illusion, Rhodes cannot take everything out of the illusion. If he wants to complete the first step of the inheritance mission, Rhodes can only try again after leaving the illusion.
The appearance of the inheritance mission did not make Rhodes forget his own situation. He said slowly: "I seem to know how to control the plague messenger."
Ms. Spider seemed to feel something, and looked at Rhodes with a deep look: "From your body, I feel the aura of that existence. It seems that there must be something special about you."
At this moment, a blazing flame suddenly burst into the sky in the center of the town. The sudden abnormal change immediately attracted the attention of Rhodes and Ms. Spider.
