Carrying the soul-binding dagger on the road is not an easy task. If you keep it in your pocket for a long time, you will easily have random thoughts, and ghost whispers will often appear in your ears. So, Rhodes stuffed it into his leather boots, like hiding it
Just like weapons, they can be taken out for emergency use when needed, and they can be used as if they are insignificant on weekdays.
But this also didn't work, and those tiny whispers, arguments, and cries still filled his ears from time to time. Rhodes knew that they were the screams and wails of the souls bound by the dagger.
Only those with a strong will can suppress them. Not everyone can own this weapon, it will choose its own master... Rhodes remembered what the dead guide said again.
The moment the dagger came into contact with him, he had a feeling that it was closely connected to his destiny. It seemed that he had been defeated by the vampire lord before, and then persuaded the drugstore owner, everything was inextricably linked.
It's like there's an arrangement in it. Maybe this is fate? If there hadn't been the Secret Word Castle, I wouldn't have thought about finding artifacts to defeat the opponent.
It's just a guess, but Rhodes must still control this weapon, which contains many powerful resentful spirits. Therefore, its power is infinite. Every time it absorbs a soul, the power of the soul-binding dagger will be stronger. Theory
There is no upper limit to this thing, but Rhodes knows that there must be something restraining it. Otherwise, after a long time, in the end, wouldn't it be invincible?
Ever since he put it on, Rhodes had to put in a lot of energy every day to suppress those ghostly voices. The dagger was so light that he could hardly feel its weight in his hand. However, it was also very heavy, making it impossible for ordinary people to pick it up...
…Because of this, Rhodes was often out of breath and sweating profusely.
"I know, you don't have to lie to me. There is definitely something wrong with that dagger. Brother, you are gambling with your life. If you can't control it, you will be controlled by it, and in the end, you will become like the Necromancer.
madman."
Bogul finally figured it out and persuaded Rhodes to give up the weapon. However, Rhodes was unwilling. This is like an advanced assessment. The artifact is in hand and ordinary people cannot control it. It depends on whether he can overcome the dangers caused by the dagger.
There are all kinds of fantasies and whispers. If you can overcome it, then this soul-binding dagger will become your first artifact. If not, as Bogur said, you will become the next person to be tortured crazy by this dagger.
.
Thinking of his territory, his future life, and Caroline's hurt and helpless eyes, Rhodes bit down and persisted.
"Maybe we can try to help you bear it, Rhodes..."
Shaman Yeskovitch suggested to.
Rhodes nodded and said that this plan can be tried. Just like the Fellowship of the Ring in "Lord of the Rings", everyone wants to have it, but everyone tries to resist it.
The first person to help Rhodes bring the soul-binding dagger was the witch hunter Diego. However, the moment he came into contact with the dagger, the witch hunter quit on his own. He had withstood countless tests when he joined the Knights Templar.
Including mental torture, the knights used various hallucinogenic herbs on him, and locked him in a small dark room for three consecutive days. He survived successfully. However, the power of this dagger was not
Ordinary people can resist.
Rhodes clearly saw that the moment Diego took the dagger, his eyes turned blood red and there was a terrifying look on his face. It was a face like a demon, and his uncontrollable desire instantly expanded. Rhodes' hands were quick and his eyes were quick, and he grabbed it.
Passing the dagger prevented the tragedy from happening.
After regaining consciousness, Diego's face was pale and he was panting, as if most of his life force had just been taken away in one fell swoop and it would take him a long time to recover.
The next person who tried to carry the dagger was Ersun Shaman. Yeskovic cast a Ningshen spell on himself in advance, and then took the dagger after being fully prepared. The result was the same, nightmares lingered, and the evil spirits kept whispering.
But Yeskovic was slightly better. He withstood it for five seconds, and finally threw the dagger to the ground with his own willpower. The result was the same as Diego's, his face was pale, as if someone had taken away half of his life force.
Rhodes no longer dared to give the dagger to others. Since he was the only one who could bring it down, he would shoulder this mission. But he couldn't overcome the dwarf's stubbornness. Bogul would give it a try no matter what. According to his words,
It is said that dwarves are immune to magic. If even dwarves cannot resist magic, then people of other races can't even think of it.
So, Rhodes asked him to try it...
It has to be said that Boguer's performance was much better than the other two companions. He persisted for a whole day and did not show ominous symptoms until the second night.
First of all, he started to speak a little incoherently, talking about revenge, glory and other nonsense. These words are not wrong, but they are very fanatical and extreme, so extreme that he regards all races other than dwarves as enemies, including those who do not follow the rules.
Human beings, when Rhodes asked - what about himself? Where are the brothers with him? Bogul's crazy remarks temporarily stopped.
Rhodes quickly grabbed the dagger while he was not paying attention, and for this reason, the two almost fought. The butcher's fist was about to be smashed down, but Diego and Yeskovic held him tightly. A few minutes later, he
The mood gradually returned to calm.
"This sword is cursed, Rhodes, believe me, you can't hold it. Even if it's okay now, it doesn't mean it will be okay in the future."
Bogul, who had recovered from the illusory killing mood, was shocked. The soul-binding dagger is like a mirror. It can reflect the truest side of people's hearts. Those who have the desire for power, beauty, revenge, and killing, when this knife
When the dagger was held in his hand, those desires were infinitely expanded. What the witch hunter saw was that his father died tragically under the blade of the Chaos cultists, so his revenge mood was magnified in a short period of time.
There was only revenge. And what Yeskovich saw were countless animals and plants corroding, festering and even mutating under the power of various chaos. In his eyes, there was only pain. In an instant, all he saw was the withering away of countless lives.
And broken. What Bogul saw was naturally that disaster. His teammates and his people were killed by trolls, greenskins and butcher knives, and he escaped with a breath. His biggest wish was to die on the battlefield.
, in order to restore the lost glory. Everyone has their own weaknesses, and the artifact amplifies the weaknesses, and at the same time, transforms these weaknesses into their most powerful strength. A normal person takes revenge with a hundred times the emotion of revenge, and the power of nature will
