"Having said so much, you haven't told me why elemental creatures are eager to transform into human forms, as if this does not give them stronger power, and where does the breath that exists in me come from?"
Upon hearing Rhodes' question, Vita paused and then replied: "Elemental creatures long to become humans. I think it is because of perception."
"Perception?" Rhodes was a little confused and failed to realize what Vita meant.
"Some emotions and feelings can never be felt by the body of elemental creatures. In order to experience these unprecedented perceptions, elemental creatures will transform into human forms."
Recalling something, Vita's eyes drifted into the distance and said softly: "Compared to the legendary level water elemental people who can transform into human form, the gods and monsters are undoubtedly much luckier, and at the same time they are more suitable for this transformation. From beginning to end, They are all very similar to humans, and powerful gods and monsters can even have offspring with humans."
"Apart from these?" Rhodes asked, "Will transforming into humans bring substantial benefits to elemental creatures? For example, more powerful spellcasting ability, a body that is not afraid of damage, or some special secret method ?”
"No, on the contrary, it is restricted by the human body and cannot control magical elements at will." Looking at Rhodes, whose flesh and blood had faded away, and his face was only pale bones, which could not be measured in ordinary human form, Vita realized that there were some things he I don't understand.
"So, this transformation is meaningless." Rhodes came to his own conclusion. "I don't know what these elemental creatures think of giving up their originally powerful elemental bodies and transforming into weaker human forms. Don’t they know how many mages yearn for the spell-casting ability of elemental creatures, and how many people yearn to get rid of the limitations of the human body and transform into a higher form?”
"Putting aside the ability to cast spells, how do you view the human body, Lord?" After hearing Rhodes' words, even though Vita knew that Rhodes' thoughts were somewhat different and even fundamentally different, she couldn't help but ask. .
Rhodes thought for a while and replied: "The human body is not immune to any negative magic effects. Mental magic is specially designed for flesh and blood bodies. Putting aside the ability to cast spells, fatigue, pain, hunger, disease, and aging are all the same." Acting on the body is not a good choice.”
Rhodes's words were also his thoughts. In his opinion, bearing the backlash of the first stage of the ritual for Rowling this time was an extra gain for him. He got rid of the limitations of the human body in one fell swoop and moved towards a more beautiful world. Powerful form transformation, which is the form possessed by lich.
Since the necromancer has a negative favorability in the eyes of professionals in other areas, the loss of charm caused by the body's loss of flesh and blood has no impact on Rhodes, and Rhodes does not care about this.
The only thing that Rhodes cared about was that after losing his body's flesh and blood, his perception of the outside world seemed to have become a little slow. Recalling the scene when he hugged Rowling on the top of the Soul Conjuring Tower, Rhodes could hardly feel any touch, only the blood connection. The existence of perception allows Rhodes to clearly perceive Rowling.
The feelings related to Rowling are the only thing that Rhodes cares about. As for the other things, Rhodes doesn't take it to heart.
Since the entire endless night ritual has not been completed, Rhodes' current body, although close to the form of the lich, cannot realize the immortal ability of the lich. It can only be called the body of a corpse witch. If you want to truly achieve To become immortal and obtain the complete body of a lich, you can only complete the entire endless night ritual and obtain the power unique to the lich.
Because of this, in Rhode's opinion, the choice of elemental creatures to transform into human form is undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse. Rhodes didn't understand what those elemental creatures were thinking about giving up their originally flawless elemental bodies and instead being restricted by flesh and blood.
Seeing that Rhodes didn't understand what he meant at all, Vita's mouth twitched and sighed: "I think we should return to the topic related to the curse."
"If my perception is not wrong, the curse that exists on the lord was imposed by the legendary elemental lord. The curse has no substantive effect. It is just a special mark that can be sensed by all elemental creatures. Some Powerful elementalists can also feel something."
"The mark contains the life of the legendary elemental lord. Any elemental creature who sees this mark will understand that the legendary elemental lord died in your hands, and may even attract the revenge of other legendary elemental lords."
After learning this, Rhodes frowned slightly and asked, "Is there any way to eliminate this curse?"
Rhodes is not afraid of the revenge of elemental creatures. The ones who should really be afraid of Rhodes' return should be those elemental creatures, but Rhodes does not want this curse to remain on his soul, lest his identity , always recognized by elemental creatures.
Vita sighed and replied: "My ability is not enough to lift the curse that contains the life of the legendary element lord, and I cannot help the lord in this regard. Only elemental creatures of the legendary level can remove this curse." Lifted.”
"It's okay." Rhodes didn't blame Vita. If it weren't for her reminder, Rhodes wouldn't even know that he was cursed like this by the dead legendary elemental lord.
In Rhode's impression, those who have in-depth research on curses belong to the magicians of the underground world. In a sense, curses can also be regarded as part of the magic. Some of the most vicious curses can only be found in the underground world. The magician has something.
There is a large amount of special knowledge in sorcery. Any skills beyond the level of magic can be classified into sorcery. Because of this, there is no special skill that corresponds to sorcery. If you want to learn sorcery, there is only one. Mastering the item and the various secret techniques in it will take a lot of time for the magician.
At this time, Rhodes has not found a passage connecting to the underground world. The only way to the depths of the underground is through the vortex in the water elemental plane. Even if he wants to start with the magician, he can eliminate his own existence. Rhodes had no clue about the curse.
Through the ability of spells, the mage can completely change his appearance in the eyes of others, and even the tone of his speech, etc., but there is no way to cover up the curse attached to the soul.
For this reason, without any way to remove the curse, Rhodes could only let the curse exist on himself for a while longer.
