Feeling the changes in his body due to the first stage of the ritual, Rhodes did not care about the changes in his appearance. What he cared about was the impact of this change on his own strength.
The body's lost perception also includes the existence of pain. The inability to perceive pain in external form is a big improvement for Rhodes.
Although the flesh and blood fell off the body, for Rhodes at this time, what he was more concerned about was Rowling's condition at this time.
The signal from the blood connection clearly told Rhodes that Rowling had not suffered the backlash from the Endless Night Ritual. The backlash that was supposed to affect Rowling was absorbed by Rhodes first. For Rhodes, this was a move. The biggest gain.
After choking for a moment, Rowling loosened her arms and tried to hold her hands on both sides of Rhodes's skull-like face, with a sad look in her eyes.
"It's all my fault... I didn't mean not to listen to you, I just wanted to make myself stronger so I could help you."
Rhodes waved his hand gently, interrupting Rowling's words, and seemed not to care, and said at the same time: "What's wrong, Rowling? You should be happy to see me return smoothly, and you shouldn't show such a sad look. "
After losing all flesh and blood on his body, Rhodes naturally lost his original ability to speak. However, under the influence of the Endless Night Ritual, Rhodes was able to use other means to use the abilities in his soul to express his original voice. Just like those lichs in the form of skeletons.
Rhode's deep voice came to her ears, and the sadness in Rowling's eyes became even worse. She held Rhode's white knuckles, and there was still some warmth on them, but soon there would be only ice cold.
"The elementalist said that she banished you to the intersection of space, and said that you would never come back, but I always believed that my brother would come back to me." Rowling said tremblingly, holding more and more things in her hands. Use force. "I had fantasized about meeting my brother again, but I never thought that something like this would happen..."
Sensing Rowling's disappointed mood at this time, Rhodes asked: "Are you blaming me for stopping the Endless Night Ritual?"
Luo Lin paused, tears flashing in her eyes: "No, I just feel that I caused my brother to become like this..."
Hearing what Rowling said, Rhodes shook his head: "This look? This is a good thing. How can you harm me?"
Seeing Rowling's confusion, Rhodes added: "A body that has no pain, no perception, no fatigue, and no aging is something that many people desire. I can achieve this inadvertently, which is not a small feat. harvest."
Relying on his own experience, Rhodes could immediately judge all the advantages and disadvantages of this skeleton-like body. In his opinion, the existence of this body has greatly improved his overall strength.
Although this body is still unable to compare with the real Lich in terms of not aging, and does not have the effect of immortality, Rhodes does not care. Compared with other flesh and blood creatures, his lifespan is undoubtedly longer. greatly extended.
"What's more, I can feel that after I obtained this body, the death energy is changing in my body. They are cheering for this new body. Although I don't know what changes will follow, but I think it should It will go in a good direction, and if it doesn't work, I have a way to restore my body."
It is not easy to restore a body that has been eroded by death energy to its original form. How many people have tried to achieve this, but they cannot do it at all.
A body eroded by death energy, unlike conventional injuries, cannot be restored with healing magic. The energy-absorbing secret method that Rhodes obtained previously was developed to restore the body in this state.
Previous experiences have already proved to Rhodes that even a real lich can use this secret method to regain its original human form. Rhodes, who has gone through the first stage of the ritual, can also achieve this. It just takes some time.
Because of this, in Rhode's view, Rowling's guilt at this time was completely unnecessary and unnecessary.
"Compared to this, don't you want to know what I went through after being exiled to the place where spaces meet by the gate of another dimension? How did I return to the main plane?"
Rhodes' explanation made Rowling feel better, but she always believed that losing flesh and blood was always a bad thing.
Before holding the ceremony of the Endless Night, Rowling hesitated countless times before finally making up her mind to lose all her flesh and blood before being promoted to a real lich. However, in Rhode's view, the existence of flesh and blood, or her own appearance , seems inconsequential and not worth paying too much attention to.
With Rhode's comfort, Rowling's emotions slowly calmed down. Just when she was about to ask Rhode about his experience after being exiled, she suddenly remembered something and sighed heavily: "Brother still remembers that famous general. The elementalist you exiled?"
"What's wrong?" Rhodes was a little confused.
"She has already died in my hands. After learning about your exile, I tried to find the magic book belonging to her from the body of the elementalist, so as to obtain the method of casting the gate of another dimension, so as to go to space. The place of intersection seeks you.”
"Then have you found it?" Following Rowling's words, Rhodes' expression also changed. The magic book belonging to the legendary mage was enough to make Rhodes feel valued.
"I'm sorry, I failed." Rowling sighed again. "I expanded the search area to the entire battlefield, but still couldn't find any magic book about her. Maybe she didn't bring the magic book with her at all, and not even a treasure appeared on her body."
Looking at Rowling who was a little disappointed, Rhodes explained thoughtfully: "It's not your fault. Creatures that have mastered the gate of another dimension are qualified to connect to the unknown alien plane deep in the space and use it as their own giant storage. In the physical space, it is almost impossible for them to have superfluous things.”
"Don't forget, Phil, the legendary mage we killed in Saou City before, also didn't carry a magic book with him. This is a common practice for creatures that have mastered the door to another dimension. You don't have to feel guilty."
Rhode's explanation finally made Rowling's mood improve, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face: "Brother, tell me what you have experienced since you were exiled."
Once again, Rowling took the initiative to get close to Rhodes' body. From his body that had no flesh and blood, only a skeleton, Rowling did not feel any coldness. On the contrary, waves of warmth were spreading in Rowling's heart.
