Unlike Lich Stephen and most other necromancers, the existence of the forbidden magic barrier can only limit part of Rhodes' strength, but cannot cause Rhodes to lose all combat capabilities.
Perhaps under the forbidden magic barrier, Rhodes's spellcasting ability cannot be used at all, but the swordsmanship mastered by Rhodes can still be used.
Rhodes relied on this to kill many mages who had lost their ability to cast spells in the original battle at Ice Blue Magic Academy, shrouded by the forbidden magic barrier.
In this case, Rhodes' only worry was whether Lich Stephen would lose all resistance under the magic barrier like other necromancers, instead of some unexpected situation happening.
Rhodes knew that the immortal nature of lich gave them almost unlimited time to complete the research on spells.
But in this process, after having such a long lifespan, the lich will naturally not spend all his time on the study of spells like other mages, but can use it to learn other abilities.
It is also under this circumstance that no matter what abilities a lich shows, it may not be surprising. A lich may have the abilities of multiple other professions at the same time.
In terms of casting spells, due to the restrictions of the forbidden magic barrier, the lich may not be able to maximize this ability, but in other aspects, the lich does not have such restrictions.
Just like the magicians that exist in the underground world. Although the system mastered by these magicians originated in Brakada, after a long period of development, it has long been very obviously different from the original mage system.
Because of this, it is extremely convenient for lichs to learn the magician system. Perhaps due to the limitations of their own bodies, lichs cannot perform some magics to their full potential, but for those who The lich has a system of knowledge that far exceeds the time of ordinary magicians to master it.
In addition to learning the sorcery system, lichs can also learn any desired ability according to their own preferences, even the abilities of melee professionals are also included.
No matter what kind of system's ability it is, after being tempered by the Lich's almost infinite time, it can naturally reach its extreme, far exceeding the limit that normal creatures can achieve.
It is precisely because of this that it is also possible for lichs to master extremely powerful swordsmanship or other close combat abilities through their own learning.
In Rhode's impression, in the second expansion pack of his previous life, there was indeed a lich who was extremely good at swordsmanship and didn't even control many undead creatures.
This lich gained an extremely powerful body through the transformation of its own magic. Coupled with the swordsmanship it was good at, in the game at that time, it could even fight without magic, relying only on its own melee ability. A head-on kill of the Royal Crusaders, who is recognized as the pinnacle of orthodox swordsmanship in the game.
It was the past deeds of this lich that made Rhodes realize that the abilities of these lichs that had survived for an unknown period of time were no longer limited to the spells and undead creatures recognized by conventional necromancers, but involved to other fields.
Rhodes in his previous life had also obtained information about this extremely special being with a fighting method that was completely different from other lichs. What Rhodes was sure of was that this lich was not the Stephen in front of him.
After a long period of accumulation, the lich's foundation will exceed that of all conventional creatures. Naturally, it cannot be judged by common sense for such a special existence.
But it is a pity that in Rhodes' view, the improvement of strength that Lich has in multiple fields may be difficult to achieve for ordinary players. The most difficult thing to satisfy is that time still exists. above.
Because of these experiences in his previous life, Rhodes still had doubts about whether Stephen would lose all his abilities under the forbidden magic barrier.
Rhodes knew that before a lich fully demonstrated its strength, there was any possibility for them.
This also leads to the fact that even true legendary creatures will be extremely wary when it comes to lichs. Even if there is a big conflict, they will not attack a lich easily. What these legendary creatures are worried about is the hidden ability of the lich.
After realizing that their spellcasting ability cannot reach the peak like the orthodox mage, the lich often chooses other methods to make up for the gap in its own strength, so that it can still have strong strength except for undead creatures.
All of this is the source of the Lich's power, and the reason why Dia can exist safely until now.
In this case, Rhodes could not guarantee that even after the forbidden magic barrier was deployed, Lich Stephen would definitely lose the ability to resist. Instead of taking out a big sword, he would not even need the assistance of undead creatures. Kill yourself on the spot.
Once the situation turns into the worst one that Rhodes expected, the existence of the magic barrier will become an obstacle to Rhodes' escape.
On the contrary, if there is no forbidden magic barrier, even if Stephen shows his extremely strong strength, Rhodes can rely on his own space spell to escape from here as much as possible.
Rhodes was not sure about the real situation that existed on Stephen and could make effective speculations. If he wanted to truly understand all of Stephen's abilities, he could only truly display the magic barrier. However, at that time, the situation It may become irreversible.
Fortunately, at this time, Rhodes predicted in time that the spell Stephen cast was just a gate of time and space, not other types of damage spells. It was only due to the erosion of death energy that it attracted his attention, so There is no need to display the magic barrier.
What Rhodes didn't expect was that when he was using the magic barrier, he couldn't bear to use the powerful effect of the magic ball fragments here, but wanted to save it for a more critical moment, so he hesitated. This allowed him to discover the anomaly in the spell.
Without using the most unique effect of the Forbidden Magic Ball fragments, Rhodes undoubtedly avoided a big battle. Rhodes could only feel lucky for being able to successfully avoid such a battle with an unknown outcome.
