Although Tamik did not let her undead creatures resist the falling black mist, it did not mean that she did not take any action to deal with the abnormal situation in front of her.
As the black mist fell, Tamik took the initiative to control the undead horse beneath him and adjust his position. Through such an act, Tamik blocked himself between the black mist and the Soul-Calling Tower, and behind Tamik was Widnina who walked out of the Soul-Calling Tower.
Obviously, in this case, what Tamik performed was Lich Stephen's original mission. For this reason, what Tamik needed to do was to prevent any anomalies in front of him from threatening those in the rear. The summoning tower.
Just after the black mist descended and stabilized, it soon began to shrink toward the center. Not long after, under Tamik's gaze, a special figure began to emerge from the changed black mist.
With sallow and shriveled skin, scarlet eyes, and exposed fangs, even if it is dressed in the clothing of a human noble, it still cannot hide its already decayed aura.
It was such a powerful native vampire who appeared in front of Tamik. At the same time, relying on the news from his own perception, Tamik also immediately realized the heroic identity of this vampire.
Tamik recognized at a glance that the person who appeared in front of her was none other than the king of the native vampire tribe, the hero Degar. Tamik couldn't even remember how long it had been since he last saw Degar's figure.
Since he had received information about Degar's awakening before, Tamik was not surprised at the appearance of such a vampire hero.
But in Tamik's view, because she was very aware of Degar's strength, she was actually unwilling to fight such a heroic vampire king here.
As Lich Stephen's right-hand man, under the reward given by this lich, Tamik also obtained some characteristics similar to those of lich, including the ability of near immortality. He does not need to be like a traditional vampire. Spend a lot of time sleeping to avoid your own decay.
In Tamik's view, even after countless years of long sleep, the temperament that existed in Degar was still the same as when he saw it, and had not changed much. This was also the reason why Tamik could recognize Degar's identity at a glance.
According to Tamik's prediction, if it was many years ago, when he met Degar, he might not have any chance of winning, but now, the situation may have changed.
During these countless years, in addition to completing Lich Stephen's instructions and subduing special undead creatures, Tamik also completed the accumulation of his own strength.
Even without relying on the undead creatures around him, Tamik was confident that he could hold Degar back for a long time. In Tamik's view, if a battle does occur, he may not be able to defeat Degal directly, but he can still achieve his original goal by holding him back, not to mention that there are still a large number of terrifying knights around.
What concerned Tamik was that besides Degar, there were no king-level vampires who came with him. According to the information Tamik had received before, not only one king-level vampire had been awakened.
Just when Tamik was thinking about how to deal with Degar who came here, there were new changes in the field.
Vidnina in front of the Spiritualization Tower also noticed Degal's arrival.
For such a vampire king with a heroic status, Widnina's expression still did not change at all. She didn't even bother to look at the vampire king. She directly faced Rhodes and his party on the sidelines and said:
"You guys, follow me into the Soul Calling Tower."
After saying that, Widnina turned around and prepared to return to the Soul-Calling Tower. The necromancer who had been beside Vidnina and walked out of the Soul Recalling Tower with her was no longer waiting and was ready to return to the Soul Recalling Tower with her.
Vidnina's behavior also attracted Degal's attention.
After just recovering from the bat state, the first thing Degar saw was naturally Tamik, who also had the identity of a hero.
Looking at Tamik in front of him, Degar seemed to recall something, but in his memory, he did not remember the clear information about such a heroic vampire. Only some fragments flashed through, making Degar realize, I had seen this vampire a long time ago.
After spending a lot of time in a long sleep, Degal's own thinking ability has not yet returned to its optimal state. Degal has forgotten a lot about his experiences before the long sleep.
Even relying on the special method of eternal sleep, Degar, who has existed for an unknown period of time, still cannot avoid the appearance of decay in his body, and the degree of this decay is more intense than that of all other undead creatures.
Degar was able to resist the decay affecting himself by sleeping, but once he ended his sleep, the decay would reappear, stronger than before.
This applies not only to Degar's vampires, but to almost all undead creatures.
Those undead creatures that have been transformed by necromancers or born through other methods will also face the problem of decay after existing for countless years.
Although the existence of soul fire can keep undead creatures in an active state and exist for a long time, the bodies of these undead creatures will also fall into decay over countless years and eventually become fragile, even if their souls The fire is still active, but the level of the undead creature will drop sharply, losing all its original abilities.
In the end, when the body is completely decayed, even if the fire of the soul still exists, it may not mean much.
As a king-level vampire that has existed for countless years and has become extremely powerful, Degar is also troubled by this kind of decay.
Compared with other undead creatures, Degal's greater strength and the added effect of the hero's will have slowed down Degal's decay. In addition, relying on the long sleep that vampires are good at, Degal has successfully spent a long time. Over the years, the body has not become fragile due to decay.
However, even with these methods to delay his own decay, the negative effects of decay still occurred on Degar and had a great impact on him.
