Under the clear sky, a thin figure was half-kneeling in front of a towering obelisk.
Her eyes were closed tightly, and she chanted a low and mysterious prayer in her mouth. The empty voice echoed in the area, giving people an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
A pure white robe that was the same color as the obelisk, with its hem trailing above the ground, was her only attire. Even without any luxurious accessories around her, she still had a sense of solemnity.
I don't know when, the dark clouds began to spread in the sky, covering everything above, until all the light was swallowed up. Although the surrounding flames were ignited in time, it was still darker than before, making it difficult to see. Clear the surrounding scene.
Feeling the abnormality, she stopped chanting, stood up, and turned sideways to face a certain direction.
Along with the twisted shadows under the firelight, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. A solemn aura suddenly spread to the surroundings, and wordless fear began to spread in the scene.
"Necromancer!"
Not far away, several fire elemental people noticed the arrival of this figure, and then they were hit by lightning that flashed rapidly across their bodies, and the place suddenly became dark.
The light brought by the lightning illuminated the face of the arriving person, who was none other than Rhodes.
After using the spells learned from the Nagus magic book to raise the purest dark sky to cover the battlefield, Rhodes jumped from the ghost dragon and used the deceleration effect of the treasure to reach the center of the white barrier in one fell swoop. , and saw this scene in front of me.
The huge obelisk not far away, and the woman beside it, made Rhodes understand the specialness of this place. He knew that the person in front of him must have a deep connection with the white barrier that enveloped Igni.
The woman never opened her eyes, but Rhodes could feel that every move he made was under her gaze. She did not show any emotional fluctuations regarding her action of killing the fire elemental man.
"Are you an elementalist, or something else?" Rhodes asked.
"Forget it." After saying that, Rhode raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning condensed in his hand and shot towards the woman next to the obelisk.
Rhodes could feel an unusual aura from the person in front of him. For this reason, Rhodes no longer held anything back.
Without resorting to the power of the artifact, Rhodes chose to directly infuse his own mana to condense the fifth-level magic, Titan's Arrow.
As if unable to sense the coming crisis, she remained unmoved. It was not until lightning rushed in front of her that the surrounding magical elements faintly changed.
A gray-white barrier rose in front of her. Lightning struck the barrier and deflected to the side in an instant. It struck the ground not far away, causing earth and rocks to fly and a small crater to form.
Seeing that Titan's arrow did not have the expected effect, the unusual sight that appeared next to the woman naturally attracted Rhodes' attention.
"Magic Mirror...you are a legendary mage."
As Rhodes finished speaking, her eyes that had been closed slowly opened.
With the help of the faint firelight, Rhodes looked at the person in front of him. There was no halo in her pupils, as if she could see everything in the world. She had a temperament that was completely inconsistent with herself. It was something that could only be acquired through endless accumulation of time. temperament.
Rhodes had only experienced this feeling from those lichs, not new lichs like Modo, but lichs that had truly survived for countless years.
Through these visions, Rhodes strengthened his original judgment that the woman in front of the obelisk should be a legendary mage.
The magic mirror she used made it clear to Rhodes that this spell was not something that ordinary mages could master.
According to Rhodes' understanding of this spell, the magic mirror, which is a fifth-level spell, can deflect all incoming single spells, and has a certain chance of completely returning damaging spells to the caster. It is extremely powerful. Fifth level magic.
Even Rhodes in his previous life mastered this spell only after spending a huge price. Now he could see it in this woman, and Rhodes naturally confirmed her identity.
Facing the protective magic mirror, many of the spells that Rhodes mastered were unable to play their original role. At this time, Rhodes simply gave up the use of conventional spells, and in a flash, he came behind the woman, Holding the Titan's Arrow in his hand.
Although the blade of Titan's Arrow is irregularly folded, its sharpness cannot be questioned by any creature.
The indestructible nature of artifacts gives them many additional abilities. For example, the Titan Arrow in Rhodes' hand can be slashed as a normal melee weapon. Even if it collides with a heavy weapon, there is no need to worry about issues such as blade collapse.
The sharpness of Titan's arrow may not be as sharp as some powerful treasures designed for close combat, but it still has no problem penetrating the body of ordinary creatures.
With this special weapon, Rhodes can change his fighting style at all times. When facing some enemies that are difficult to defeat with magic alone, Rhodes can also use teleportation and his own basic attributes to transform into a magical assassin. exist.
Although legendary mages are powerful, they cannot transcend the category of ordinary creatures. Once their heads are cut off or their hearts are penetrated, it means death.
Through teleportation, he came behind the woman. Rhodes thrust his sword towards her back, but was blocked by a shield made of flames. The impact was instantly resolved. No matter how hard he tried, he could not Let the blade advance a tiny bit.
At the same time, a burst of intense flames burst out from the shield, spurting out towards Rhodes. Before he could use teleportation to escape, Rhodes quickly turned sideways and covered his sideways body with the wide cloak behind him.
The flames hit the worn cloak, but it was like contact with thick asbestos. It failed to ignite it and could not even get past the obstruction of the cloak. Rhodes behind him did not suffer any harm except feeling a heat wave.
The characteristics of the artifact make the Ghost King's cloak behind Rhodes the best protective equipment, and it can also be regarded as an anti-magic equipment.
It cannot be destroyed by any means, which gives the Ghost King's Cloak the ability to face some spells that cannot be avoided. Rhodes can also rely on this characteristic of the Ghost King's Cloak to greatly reduce the damage.
The attack from Rhodes triggered the backlash of the fire shield, which was the reason why the flames spurted out.
When the flames gradually dissipated and he sensed the imminent danger, Rhodes naturally stopped staying beside the woman and disappeared again.
