Noticing the lich figure appearing in the distance and the large number of undead creatures around him, Rhodes was able to clearly realize the strength gap between himself and them.
Rhodes knew that the majority of a Lich's strength was the undead creatures it had accumulated. At this time, Rhodes could no longer estimate how many undead creatures existed under the dark sky.
In Rhodes' view, compared to the ghost dragon that existed beside him, the undead creatures controlled by this lich far exceeded him in terms of overall number and strength. on the same level.
In addition to undead creatures, their spellcasting abilities will also vary greatly depending on the lich's own preferences. It is difficult for Rhodes to make a judgment before seeing the lich take action.
At this time, looking at the figure of the lich appearing in front of him, Rhodes also discovered an extremely important piece of information.
Through the signals coming from his perception, Rhodes realized that the lich who appeared in front of him actually had the identity of a hero.
Rhodes knew very clearly what being a hero meant. Especially for creatures like the lich, the extremely powerful learning ability attached to the hero template can be brought into full play with the blessing of the lich's almost unlimited lifespan.
If before, Rhodes was not sure about the spellcasting ability of this lich, then now, Rhodes also has a clear answer in his mind.
Rhodes believed that with the blessing of the hero template, the spellcasting ability of this lich would not be weaker than that of a high-level mage of the same level, or even reach the level of a weaker legendary mage.
For ordinary lichs, their strength is mainly in controlling undead creatures, rather than being good at casting spells like high-level mages. However, when you have a hero template, this situation no longer applies.
As for the fact that this lich has the status of a hero, there was no mention at all in the information previously provided by Turo.
When the lich appeared, Rhodes could still look directly at the lich as he stepped forward. Tello, who was standing by him, had already bowed his head deeply, not daring to show any disrespect to the lich.
Rhodes also had some thoughts about Tello on the side.
What makes Rhodes a little concerned is that since Tello himself does not have a hero template, did he fail to discover the hero identity of this lich when he first came to the Death Tomb, or did he already understand it? This point was just concealed, and this important information was not told to oneself.
Previously, when Rhodes learned about Tello's information through the Peeping Eye, he didn't notice anything about the hero.
And based on the information Rhodes observed, based on Turo's behavior, it is unlikely that he would cast his clairvoyance eyes on this lich. From this, it seems that he may not know this either.
The heroic status of this lich was beyond Rhodes' expectations. What Rhodes didn't expect was that heroes would appear even among creatures like lichs.
However, except for the most basic caution, Rhodes did not show any fear towards the lich that emerged from the darkness.
No matter how powerful this lich is, it is difficult for Rhodes to pose any threat at this time. Rhodes has enough means to deal with this lich.
As early as in the Ice Blue Magic Academy, the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments intercepted by Rhodes had already shown powerful effects, allowing Rhodes to kill the powerful high-level mage Northen and obtain an extremely rich harvest.
At this time, facing the Lich who appeared, the Forbidden Magic Ball in Rhode's hand was still able to work. Rhodes believed that under the effect of the forbidden magic barrier, even this extremely powerful hero Lich could exert extremely limited strength.
However, in Rhode's view at this time, using the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments cannot maximize the effectiveness of this treasure, especially when the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments can only be used once and cannot be used thereafter. If you use it from time to time, you will not gain much.
For Rhodes, what he needs most at this time is the method mastered by this lich to solve the corrosion of death energy, rather than the additional gains obtained after killing it.
It is precisely because of this that after seeing the appearance of the Lich, Rhodes did not immediately use the effect of the Forbidden Magic Ball Fragments. If no abnormal situation occurred, Rhodes did not intend to use this special item at this time.
Due to the existence of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragment, although Rhodes did not intend to use it, he was not too afraid of this heroic lich.
In Rhodes' view, when he has enough strength and can kill this lich by various means, the status relationship between himself and this lich is more like an equality. existence, instead of being completely suppressed by this lich like Turo.
Even if Rhodes is located in the Tomb of Death that this lich has managed for a long time, the overall environment around him and the large number of undead creatures can still give people a great sense of oppression, but with the power of artifacts, Under the influence of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments, none of these can have any impact on him.
On the side, the Lich who had been observing Rhodes and his party also noticed obvious abnormalities in Rhodes.
In the view of this lich, the confidence that Rhodes possesses cannot be disguised by ordinary methods. In countless years, this lich has seen countless necromancers who entered the Death Tomb, and their various reactions, so he can judge Rhodes' thoughts at a glance.
The lich realized that it was obvious that Rhodes had enough strength, or had some means unknown to him, to be able to suppress him in battle, so he was not afraid of his own existence.
Due to the perception between heroes, when Rhodes discovered the hero's identity of this lich, the lich also felt this from Rhodes. This discovery also revealed the strength of Rhodes to this lich from the side.
After realizing this information, the lich's original thoughts about Rhodes who appeared with Turo also changed somewhat.
Although Rhodes could not observe the specific appearance of this lich through the barrier of existence, he could still feel the changes in its expression.
After noticing this, Rhodes knew that this lich would take action soon.
