As the death energy decreased and the effect of the dark sky weakened, the figure of this lich also appeared in front of Rhodes.
After a brief observation, a lot of information flashed through Rhodes' mind, and he also roughly realized the strength of this lich.
At the same time, the lich also thought about how to deal with Rhodes who appeared here.
No matter what level the level is promoted to, this kind of observation can affect the subsequent decision-making to a great extent. This applies even to lichs.
In the territory of Diya, the lich needs a large number of ordinary necromancers in the process of accumulating strength, and this is also the final destination of most necromancers who fail to become lich.
For this reason, the necromancers in Diya will deliberately stay away from the area where the lich exists to avoid being in danger, let alone like Tello, who personally comes to the territory where the lich is to seek solutions to the problem. method.
In Rhode's view, Turo's behavior was tantamount to sending high-quality materials for making undead creatures to the eyes of the Lich. What surprised Rhodes was that Tello actually succeeded. Not only did he survive the hands of the lich, but he also solved the erosion of the death energy with the help of the lich.
It was this that made Rhodes realize that this lich might be different from what he imagined, and that he was trying to use Tello to achieve something. The magic that existed in Tello was created by this lich. The scroll is the best proof.
According to Rhodes' understanding, even if the lichs in Diya are extremely powerful, there are very few direct conflicts between lichs with the same strength as themselves.
In most cases, the lichs in Diya are in their own territories. They have accumulated strength for a long time and will avoid conflicts with each other.
For lichs, after losing their lifespan limit, the best way for them to improve their strength is to accumulate strength. The conflict between them will only cause losses to themselves and cannot bring any substantial benefits. improvement.
However, this kind of practice between lichs is only limited to beings with similar strength to them, that is, they are also lichs. If they were replaced by ordinary necromancers, they would only be killed by lichs.
Because of this, when the lich vaguely felt from Rhodes his strength and the threat he might pose to himself, his thoughts changed.
Although in the view of this lich, Rhodes has not yet completed the ritual of the endless night, and his life essence is far inferior to his own at this time, the signals from his perception also made this lich realize that Rhodes Virtue is not as simple as one may observe.
As early as when the magic scroll of the Gate of Time and Space that he created was used, the lich was aware of Rhodes' arrival and observed the situation of Rhodes and his party through the undead creatures surrounding him.
Originally, through the results observed by the undead creatures, the lich did not think that Rhodes and his party had anything worth paying attention to. Even the extremely powerful ghost dragon, in the eyes of this lich, is not much stronger than the undead creatures he controls.
However, when the effect of the dark sky weakened, through his own short observation, the lich also sensed some abnormalities from Rhodes. This lich had not felt this sense of threat related to death for who knows how long, so he made his decision.
Under Rhodes' gaze, the lich in the distance flashed, and the next moment, the lich appeared not far in front of Rhodes.
Just after the lich's figure appeared, Rhodes seemed to feel something, and he felt a lot of vigilance in his heart.
Rhodes noticed that when the lich used teleportation and approached him, he did not detect any mana fluctuations in his perception.
In itself, spells similar to teleportation need to have an effect on the whole body of the caster, and the mana fluctuations caused in the space are far greater than any spells of the same level. This is also true for all mages who master teleportation. recognized.
Rhodes' past tracking of teleportation and pursuit of targets relied on his perception of mana fluctuations and combined with his past experience to achieve this.
Even Wit, who was previously in Verning, would produce relatively large mana fluctuations when performing teleportation, causing the movement trajectory to be sensed by Rhodes.
However, what surprised Rhodes was that when the lich appeared in front of him, no mana fluctuations escaped when he used teleportation.
Based on his past understanding of mages, Rhodes immediately realized what this meant.
In Rhode's view, being able to perform the most difficult teleportation among third-level magic without releasing any mana fluctuations when casting it, this lich has obviously mastered a higher level of spell casting.
According to Rhodes' guess, a lich with this ability will not have any mana fluctuations when casting ordinary fourth-level spells, making the spells more concealed.
Even a high-level mage with extremely keen perception would have a hard time sensing the signs of danger in the first place without any mana fluctuations, and thus would be unable to respond in time.
When fighting a high-level mage, in addition to being more concealed when casting spells, coupled with the unique spell-casting characteristics of the lich, this lich can take a great advantage, and can even rely on its own His spellcasting ability suppresses the high-level mages in the same rank who are better at spells.
The long-term accumulation of strength has given this lich such strength. Rhodes was able to see this through some signs that existed in this lich.
At the same time, Rhodes also realized that all his previous guesses about this lich were not as intuitive as his current perception of its strength.
Rhodes' previous method of pursuing teleportation mages would undoubtedly have no effect on this lich at this moment.
When the lich was teleporting, Rhodes couldn't even sense the mana fluctuations, so how could he pursue the lich later?
Just by performing a teleportation to bring himself in front of Rhodes, this lich showed such a powerful spell-casting ability. Rhodes' judgment of this lich's strength has undoubtedly improved again. In Rhodes' view, the true strength of this lich has far exceeded that of Nosun before, reaching another level.
