The coldness and darkness gradually faded away. After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Iverben regained consciousness with his stiff body.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his enemy, the evil necromancer Rhodes, standing on the top of the dark tower, staring at him coldly, as if he was examining something.
Ivor was just about to say something when a sharp pain suddenly came from his mind. He gritted his teeth and his face was distorted. He wanted to raise his hand to cover his head to relieve the pain in his mind, but he seemed to find that It was like something, and his eyes widened unconsciously.
"my hand……"
Ivor noticed that there was only an empty piece left at the cuff on the right side of his body. The arm that belonged to him, and the blade that belonged to him, were all gone at this time. It was obvious that when he lost consciousness, During that time, many things happened that he didn't know about.
On the side, the artifact symbolizing wind was being held by Rhodes.
Rhodes was naturally very interested in the weapon in his hand. This was the third artifact he had obtained. He held it in his right hand and waved it casually a few times before whipping up gusts of wind and blowing it violently towards the bottom of the tower. .
"It seems that you have woken up." Feeling Ivor's movements, Rhodes raised his head, but did not open his eyes. There was a white eye mask surrounding his eyes.
"I need to recover from my injury as soon as possible, so I will lend you your hand first. As for you, I will never treat my death knight badly. It won't be long before the magician will put a new arm on you."
Rhode's cold voice reached Ivor's ears, and Ivor's whole body trembled as if he had discovered something.
From Rhodes' words, Ivor understood a terrible fact. Now, the blood in his body has turned cold and his heart has stopped beating. He has become a death knight.
After discovering this, a burst of anger surged into Ivor's heart, and he immediately rushed towards Rhodes regardless. Even if he became a death knight, the will in his heart did not die.
However, when he was still a few steps away from Rhodes, Ivor stopped moving. No matter how hard he tried or how angry he was, he could not take another step closer to Rhodes. As if there was some invisible force, Preventing him from approaching.
"The death knight cannot harm his master, which is me." Looking at Ivor who was trying in vain in front of him, Rhodes said in a deep voice, "Not only me, but also my men and my companions, you can't hurt either. You are the only one What you have to do is accept yourself for who you are now.”
Rhode's words seemed to contain some kind of magic power. After Ivor heard it, his whole body movements slowed down.
"So what about the death knight? I will not obey any of your orders, damn necromancer. One day, I will definitely kill you."
Just like what Rhodes said, Ivor unknowingly listened to the content of Rhodes' words and thus accepted his identity as a death knight. What's even more frightening is that he himself did not realize this.
"You should feel lucky." Rhodes said lightly, "From you, I feel the pure heroic will. If you lose this will, you are not even a legendary creature, so I will not change you. will."
As Rhodes said, Ivor was able to become a hero, and even become a powerful legendary creature with the blessing of the hero's will, because of the hatred in his heart for the necromancer, especially for Rhodes.
If Rhodes uses the power of the Dark Holy Word to forcibly distort the will in Ivor's heart, his heroic identity may immediately collapse, and he will also lose all the power blessed by the heroic will.
Just like Degar, who once had such a powerful ability as the Scarlet Eye in Rhodes' memory, although Rhodes didn't know what happened to him, he obviously lost the heroic will after a long period of baptism. , the strength also dropped significantly.
In order to avoid this situation from happening, Rhodes could not immediately use the Holy Word of Darkness to completely control Ivor. He could only wait for the right opportunity to subtly change his will.
The existence of the spiritual imprint can prevent Ivor from losing control to a certain extent. Although Rhodes did not completely control Ivor's will, he was still able to make him do things according to his wishes.
Rhodes raised his hand and threw the weapon belonging to Ivor, and the green blade returned to the death knight's hand.
After investigating the system logs, Rhodes has mastered the properties of this artifact.

…………
After checking the properties of this artifact, Rhodes realized that it was different from what he imagined.
Although the Wind-Chasing Blade, like the Titan's Arrow, can release long-range attacks without any consumption by waving the weapon, it is significantly different.
If the Titan Arrow exists for long-range combat, and its main function is to rely on continuous lightning to strike the enemy, then the Wind Chaser Blade exists for close combat.
The wind blade released by the Wind Chaser Blade is more to match its primary special attribute, which is to use the wind to move and quickly approach the enemy.
Because of this, the basic damage that a single wind blade can cause is not high, and unlike Titan's Arrow, the damage value can increase dramatically as the spell level increases.
In addition, the special skills attached to the Wind Chasing Blade also explained this to Rhodes. Whether it is improvement in swordsmanship or offensive skills, it is difficult to help long-range combat.
What worries Rhodes is that the special skills attached to the artifact can elevate the legendary special skills to the true god level. This is how Rhodes obtained his god-level spiritualism.
The two special skills improved by the Wind Chaser Blade also have this effect. If Rhodes has legendary swordsmanship and offensive skills, then he can upgrade these two special skills to god level at the same time.
