Looking at the fireball rising into the sky, Rhodes' expression slowly became serious.
Rhodes noticed that it was not an ordinary fireball condensed by a mage in the main plane, but was condensed from the shadow energy of the shadow plane.
In other words, Eli used air magic elements to achieve what fire magic elements can do.
Looking at this scene, Rhodes' eyes froze. The legendary mage of Brakada has the ability to make changes to existing magic, but similar to the method in front of him, which completely subverts the nature of the magic element itself, Rhodes still
First time meeting.
"Let's go." Eli shook his head and did not answer Rhodes' doubts.
Under the illumination of the shadow fireball, the road on the shadow plain was no longer twisted, but presented a straight line. Rhodes was surprised to find that it was only a few dozen steps away from the thieves headquarters, and he, with the body of Goliath,
It only takes one step to get there.
Before that, the road here had been distorted by the shadow energy in the plane. If it hadn't been for Eli's spell, it would have taken Rhodes a while to discover the anomaly here.
The fireball illuminated the path underfoot, but it also attracted monsters lurking in the shadows.
Before taking a step, Rhodes sensed the danger coming.
For a moment, warnings of danger came from all over Rhodes' body. To this warning, Rhodes was more sensitive than any other creature, and this warning ability helped Rhodes to avoid strong attacks countless times.
enemy attack.
Rhodes turned around suddenly, but was stunned for a moment. There was nothing behind him, as if everything was just his illusion and there was no danger at all.
If it weren't for the subtle tingling sensation that kept coming from Goliath's body, Rhodes would even suspect that his perception was wrong.
After looking around, Rhodes quickly located the location where the anomaly occurred, which came from the ground beneath his feet. To be precise, it was the area where his shadow was cast by the fireball above his head.
Rhodes looked down and saw that his shadow was constantly distorting, especially on the outermost side, there were many shadow parts that did not belong to his body, as if something invisible had come to him.
Rhodes realized that it was the shadow creature Eli mentioned. Although the fireball raised by Eli illuminated the path of the shadow plain, it also attracted these creatures lurking in the dark.
Shadow creatures are extremely aggressive, and Rhodes can feel all this from the constant changes in the shadows. Unfortunately, their attack power is too weak, and they cannot even penetrate the skin of Goliath's body, let alone
It hurts the layers of flesh and blood under the thick skin.
For ordinary creatures, shadow creatures are extremely difficult to deal with and can be seriously injured if they are not careful. To Rhodes, it is like scratching his itch.
Rhodes patted his body with the giant's remaining hand, but could not touch those creatures at all, and gradually gave up. He had no time to study these shadow creatures.
On the other hand, Eli, who was on the side, showed a bit of surprise after seeing Rhodes' calmness: "It's really interesting. I didn't expect that in addition to potions and spiritualism, you also have such attainments in close combat. I'm afraid even...
It is difficult for the angels of Erathia to harm your body."
Rhodes curled his lips. Goliath's body's defense ability against melee combat was really terrifying. Without the blessing of armor-breaking ability, an ordinary giant dragon's bite would only barely scratch the flesh, but it seemed helpless against spells.
On the contrary, due to its huge size, it is more likely to become a target for spellcasters.
Compared to a huge body like Goliath, Rhodes prefers the original body. Although it does not have a body like a giant creature, it is more flexible and its attributes are not weak at all.
Seeing that Rhodes didn't reply, Eli continued: "However, I want to remind you that these are just side methods. Only spells are the strongest power in this world. Apart from spells, other powers are meaningless.
."
"Do you really think so?" Rhodes raised his eyebrows and asked with some suspicion.
"Of course." Eli turned his head and looked at the shadow under Rhodes: "It is said that the top legendary thief can blend his body into the shadow and use the power of the shadow to cross space at short distances. In order to master this ability,
They must first have enough opportunities to come into contact with the shadow energy, and then spend decades or even hundreds of years to understand it before they can finally use it. In the magic academy, any official mage can learn to move instantly to achieve similar things.
Effect."
"This sounds unfair." Rhodes couldn't help but said.
In previous games, many players complained about this problem. At low levels, the speed at which mages gain experience points is much lower than other melee professions. Once they reach the sixth level corresponding to epic creatures, the power of mages will be revealed.
After reaching the legendary level, the entire game is dominated by mages. Except for some rare hidden professions, there are almost no ordinary professions that can compete with legendary mages.
Of course, mages are not truly invincible. Dragons are generally resistant to magic, and there are artifacts such as the Forbidden Magic Ball in the game, which can fundamentally restrain mages from casting spells.
"I think this is very fair." Eli looked at Rhodes with a mage's pride in his eyes. "The Mage Empire has accumulated magical knowledge over countless years and has been researched and perfected by countless talented scholars.
How could we be surpassed by those thieves?"
Rhodes shrugged, noncommittal to what Eli said.
In terms of foundation, Brakada surpasses any force in the surface world. Even Erathia, which once gave birth to the incarnation of a god, is still suppressed by the Mage Empire.
The spell knowledge that has long been formed into a system can create legendary mages one after another. This is why when the Hell Legion counterattacked the surface world, Brakada was attacked even more than Erathia. Among countless demons, and
Under the siege of the dragon army, even the leader of the magic guild will eventually be completely killed.
Although Brakada's mages are powerful, they also have fatal weaknesses. Once they encounter a creature that is immune to magic, they will not be able to display their full strength at all and can only rely on golem puppets for support.
Rhodes, who has the memory of his past life, is very clear about the pros and cons of the mage. His power is no longer limited to spell casting. Although the Eli in front of him has unparalleled power in magic, in Rhodes' view, he
That meaningless persistence eventually weighed him down.
