Holding the sword of ice tightly in his hand, Eric's expression was resolute and fearless. Even though he knew that what was waiting for him ahead would be the Lord of the Undead, who had gathered four powers of authority and was as powerful as a god-level creature, he still did not flinch in the slightest.
As a legendary mage, Eric maintains the last glory of the mage. He can be defeated by the enemy and forced to flee his snowy homeland, but he will not surrender to the enemy, even if he knows that resistance will only lead to death. Not only that.
In this way, the ice sword that Jenny took out gave him a last chance to fight. Otherwise, in front of the ultimate monarch who dominates the four elements, he might not even have the power to shake the enemy.
Just when Eric was about to enter the conference room and use the divine sword in his hand to teach the Lord of the Undead a painful lesson. Even if he died, he must let him understand the anger of the mages. A powerful murderous intention suddenly locked him.
, came together with a sigh-like whisper:
"That's it, Master Eric. This is the joint decision of many Eli creatures. I can't let you ruin this negotiation."
Following the sound, Eric also saw a half-elf hero with fiery red hair. The hero opened the glazed ink phantom bow, and the phantom arrow, which was enough to kill the demigod, had already locked Eric's breath.
Locked tightly, if he makes any move, what is waiting for him will be shot with an arrow without mercy.
"Hero Gru... you should aim your weapon at the real enemy, not at your friends." Eric's expression sank. Even though he was well-educated, he felt a bit angry at being betrayed at this moment.
, "Why do you do this? As the chief guardian of the jungle, have you now lost the courage to fight to the death with the enemy? Can such a fearful act of surrendering to the enemy still be called a 'hero'?"
"
Facing the merciless accusation in Eric's words, Gru just shook his head:
"Everything I did, whether I went out to sea to find swords or trained phantom shooters, was just for one thing, and that was to protect Eli. When the four powers gathered together, Rhodes' strength had reached the level of a god
, today, no one is his opponent anymore. Of course I can fight Rhodes decisively, and even die in the battle, but what will Eli do in the future? Where will the remaining Eli creatures go in the future? Is it possible?
Do you plan to give Rhodes an excuse to massacre the entire Eri because of your impulsiveness? Your impulsiveness will put the entire Eri into danger, and I can't let this happen.
"
At the end of the sentence, Gru also let out a deep sigh: "As for the name of 'hero'... Sometimes, choosing to live a difficult life is more difficult and more painful than dying generously like a hero. It is also more painful to die.
Simple, but after losing the last guardian of the jungle, what will the remaining people do in the future? Even if there is a slight possibility of defeating the enemy, I will not give up. The matter is over, let's live first."
Under Gru's persuasion, Eric also showed a bit of sadness after noticing the endless pain spreading in his heart as the chief.
As Gru said, Eric can't change anything. Even if he uses all his strength to fight against the Lord of the Undead who gathers four powers in the conference room, the final result will be a meaningless death and nothing will change.
On the contrary, because of his impulsiveness, ordinary creatures in Eri that have given up resistance will be affected. This is undoubtedly something he does not want to see.
In the end, Eric, who seemed to have been drained of all his strength, could only let the sword of ice fall from his hands. He looked as if he had aged dozens of years. Even with the divine sword in his hand, he had gained unprecedented power.
He also failed to swing the sword against the Lord of the Undead, and could only leave in lamentation.
"Have you given up..."
In the conference room, Rhodes, who had activated his powerful perception ability, naturally had a panoramic view of everything happening in the outside world, and was naturally fully prepared for Eric's attack.
However, what Rhodes didn't expect was that Eric actually gave up the idea of continuing to fight under Gru's persuasion. This also made Rhodes couldn't help but shake his head. He still wanted to fight Eric with all his strength.
, to test the power of the newly developed undead magic, it seems that we can only wait for the next opportunity.
During the negotiation, even though Eli was very reluctant, he finally had to accept the condition of handing over the Ice Sword. After all, the strengths of the two parties were not equal. It was said that it was a negotiation, but in fact it was by meeting all Rhodes' conditions.
This will bring peace to Eli in the future. Faced with the ultimate monarch who holds the power of the four series, Eli will have to give up even the artifact if he does not want to be removed from the mainland.
Not long after, as various requirements were agreed upon, the personnel from Eli's side also handed the Ice Sword into Rhode's hands. The person responsible for handing over the Ice Sword also appeared to be very familiar to Rhodes.
It's Guardian Jenny.
With the Ice Sword in hand, Rhodes felt the power of the water element in his body vibrate.
Before that, the water elemental monarch Sariel was very eager to obtain this magical sword that can seal all things in ice. According to legend, the ice sword contains the method to break the final seal with the authority of the water element and dominate all water elements in the world from now on.
It wasn't until the moment he held the Ice Sword in his hand that Rhodes realized that this statement was true.
Among the four powers of Rhodes, only the powers of fire and earth have broken the final seal, and have the power to control all elements in the world and release ultimate magic. The powers of air and water are still subject to the monarch's seal, and there is no such thing.
Able to reach the strongest state.
According to Rhodes' investigation, the method to break the final seal of the power of the air element exists in the deepest part of Cloud City, which is absolutely inaccessible to ordinary people, and the method of breaking the power of the water element exists in the Sword of Ice.
In the past battles, the Ice Sword brought a lot of trouble to Rhodes. The disaster caused when it collided with the Blade of Doom almost destroyed the world. It was not until this moment that Rhodes truly used that unique sword.
Hold it in your hand.
As Rhodes thought, various entries in the system log also appeared in front of his eyes.
…………
【Ice Sword】
Quality: artifact
Type: Main hand weapon
Equipment requirements: Character level seven or above
Basic attributes: All attributes 50
Special attributes: When swinging the sword, ice condenses that is not easily broken, and water magic damage is added. The freezing time and defense ability of the ice are related to the water magic level of the holder, and ignores the magic resistance of non-heroic units.
Comment: The divine sword bred deep in the iceberg contains power that transcends all.
…………
Seeing the properties of the Ice Sword, Rhodes also had a deeper understanding of this unique sword.
Compared with the Doomsday Blade, another divine sword that can destroy the world, the basic attributes attached to the Ice Sword are not that exaggerated. You must know that Lucifer, who holds the Doomsday Blade in his hand, is considered the strongest in the world.
Jenny, who had previously used the power of the Ice Sword, was far less powerful than the hero Gru among Eli.
Of course, this is related to the difference in rank between the two. Before picking up the Doomsday Blade, Lucifer was already a leader among demigods, while Jenny was just a witch who had just entered the legendary level. The attributes brought by the divine sword
Blessing has further widened this gap. The attribute value attached to the ice sword is not enough to make the sword wielder undergo a radical change.
With the systematic review in mind, Rhodes seems to be able to understand the problem.
The casting of the Doomsday Blade required three holy objects as casting materials, and the efforts of Kalenda, the strongest swordsmith in the world, to create the invincible sword.
The names of the three expansion packs are all named after the Blade of Doom. The power of that divine sword is self-evident. In comparison, the Sword of Ice bred from the depths of the iceberg appears to be inferior.
No matter how powerful the divine sword born naturally is, it cannot compare with the Doomsday Blade that was built with all the power of hell.
What worries Rhodes the most is the icy aura inside the Ice Sword. The power that freezes everything inside the Ice Sword is the reason why it is so powerful. In comparison, what it provides
The property of seems to be nothing.
Holding the sword of ice in his hand, Rhodes keenly sensed the cold breath flowing inside the blade. If the authority of the water element contains the ultimate power of the water attribute branch of the water element, then the sword of ice contains
What is contained is the ultimate power of the ice attribute branch.
Water and ice, although these two powers seem to be very similar and both belong to the scope of the water element, their properties are completely different. Water, which is enough to carry all things, and ice, which is extremely hard, can even be said to be
Two completely different things, as the ultimate evolution of these two powers, the ocean domain in the authority of the water element also has an irreconcilable conflict with the ice sword's power to freeze all things.
After carefully comprehending the power contained in the Ice Sword, Rhodes gradually revealed a hint of understanding in his eyes. With the blessing of god-level wisdom, Rhodes' mind was running rapidly, accepting the Ice Sword.
The power of ice inside is different from water, but has the same origin as water.
Thousands of ice radiated from Rhodes' body. It was not the coldness of death energy, but the biting coldness of the temperature that had dropped to the extreme. Endless frost and fog were condensing with Rhodes' actions, and even everyone nearby
, also felt the changes in Rhodes' body, and had different expressions for a while, secretly guessing the cause of the changes.
However, what surprised everyone was far more than that. Among the people who were either surprised or disbelieving, they saw that the Ice Blue Divine Sword, which was being firmly held by Rhodes, showed signs of melting at this moment.
The sword of ice, which was originally as indestructible as ten thousand years of black ice and could compete with the Blade of Doom, was melting bit by bit in Rhode's palm, and the energy emanating from under the blade spread to the entire world.
They couldn't bear it. The endless ice energy that was enough to cause a catastrophe was quickly gathering towards Rhodes' body.
What shocked everyone was that judging from Rhode's actions, he was clearly directly absorbing the power contained in the Ice Sword. On the battlefield not long ago, everyone had deeply felt the terrifying power. When the Ice Sword
The power of the sword is completely drawn out by the Doomsday Blade. The two conflicting forces are enough to completely destroy the entire world. If you are not careful, all living things in the world will no longer have a place to live. You can imagine how powerful that force is.
And know.
However, judging from Rhode's calm and composed expression, which seemed to have everything under control, it seemed that he was not worried about the backlash of the ice energy at all. On the contrary, judging from the slightly raised corners of Rhode's mouth,
, he seems to be extremely satisfied with the current results, and has gained unimaginable gains from absorbing the ice energy.
After a while, the cold air emanating from Rhodes' body gradually dissipated, and the abnormalities that had been caused around him were completely restored to normal. This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, and they were even more surprised. No abnormality was revealed.
, that means that Rhodes completely absorbed and fused all the power in the Ice Sword in just a short moment, without even having any adverse reactions at all.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Rhodes didn't say anything, but looked at the ice sword that had completely melted, leaving only a few water stains.
Being able to directly absorb the Ice Sword with the help of the power of the water elemental authority was something that Rhodes did not expect. After noticing the various information that quickly appeared in the system log, Rhodes finally understood why the water elemental monarch did not hesitate to
No matter what the cost, even at the cost of becoming the enemy of the entire Eri, which ultimately led to his own death, he still wanted to get the Ice Sword in his hands.
The power of the Ice Sword not only enables Rhodes to break the final seal of the power of the water element, but its various attributes are also of great benefit to Rhodes, who is now the ultimate monarch. Even Rhodes, after seeing that
I couldn’t help but feel emotional while reading various entries.
"The power of the water element authority has been detected. Is it absorbing the homologous essence of the Ice Sword?"
"...Absorbing the Ice Sword."
"With the help of the authority of the water element, you absorbed the sword of ice, with all attributes 50, and you gained the power of ice."
"The final seal of the water element's authority has been broken. You can freely mobilize all water elements in the world. You have unlocked the ultimate water magic: [Troublesome Waves]."
"[Stormy Waves]: The ultimate water magic, which can only be cast when the monarch is in his true form. It condenses all the water magic elements in the world and causes immeasurable huge damage. It takes a while to charge when casting the spell, and the charge time reaches full in 10 seconds.
value, which can cause maximum damage. After the spell is cast, the power of the water elemental authority will be temporarily silent. During this period, the related specialties of the water elemental monarch cannot be used, and will be restored after three days."
"Under the influence of the power of ice, the authority of the water element, and the power of the time domain, you have unlocked the special magic [Freezing of Time]."
"[Time Freeze]: A special magic that requires the true body of the monarch and the power of time to cast. It condenses endless ice to freeze time and space."
