His consciousness once again escaped from the small dark space, and Rhodes opened his eyes.
"How many times has this been? Fifteen times, or seventeen times?"
Rhodes couldn't remember how many times he had escaped from the dark space.
Since the ability of the Gate of Pain was weakened, the duration of the dark space has been reduced from the original one hundred years to twenty years, which also forced Rhodes to repeatedly enter the dark space.
As time passed, Rhodes felt that his memory began to become a little blurry, and many things that had happened before could no longer be remembered clearly.
Being in a dark illusion for a long time, even several times longer than he has been alive so far, made Rhodes a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the gains stemming from spiritualism made Rhodes understand that his efforts were not in vain.
"It would be nice if there was a record of the number of times in the system log. Unfortunately, every time you exit from the dark space, you still need to waste some time if you want to find the previous feeling again."
During the countless years spent in the dark space, Rhodes devoted himself to studying spiritualism, but the progress was not as smooth as he imagined.
When he first entered the full-length dark space, it only took Rhodes fifty years to upgrade his spiritualism to the legendary level, which was also inseparable from his own talent.
At that time, Rhodes believed that as long as he was given a few more decades, it would not be difficult to recreate god-level spiritualism.
However, the facts severely disappointed Rhodes. Although he had experienced the elegance of god-level spiritualism and felt the existence of god-level spiritualism in the process of studying spiritualism, it was extremely difficult to actually study it. .
Just like seeing a big mountain from a distance, you want to really reach that location, but you don't know how far you have to go.
Especially after the power of the Gate of Pain was weakened, the death energy provided by the coffin was no longer able to sustain Rhodes' research. If you don’t even have enough death energy, how can you study spiritualism?
Fortunately, Rhodes had plenty of time. Even if he didn't have enough time for one illusion, he would make some progress if he came a few more times.
Rhodes entered the same illusion repeatedly, hoping to make breakthroughs in his research on spiritualism by relying on the hundreds of years in the illusion.
However, the more Rhodes studied god-level spiritualism, the more he felt that there was an impenetrable barrier. Hundreds of years have passed, and Rhodes has completed his research on all aspects of legendary spiritualism, but he still cannot overcome this barrier and elevate spiritualism to the divine level.
This barrier is like the huge gap between mortals and gods. No matter how hard Rhodes tries, he can't make any progress.
God-level special skills mean a whole new field. Previously, Rhodes relied on the power of artifacts to cross the barrier between the legendary level and the god-level. But if it were Rhodes himself, he had no idea when he would succeed. .
After once again exiting the dark space with nothing, Rhodes couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
This is already the third time that Rhodes has withdrawn from the dark space with nothing. The further the research on spiritualism goes, the progress of the research is getting closer to nothing. When every aspect of spiritualism is perfected, Rhodes can no longer Brings any improvement to spiritualism.
"Um?"
Just when Rhodes was about to enter the dark space again, he suddenly saw a few extra messages at the bottom of the system log.
"Your research on spiritualism has touched the realm of God."
"You gain a domain ability: the Death Domain."
"You have obtained the racing achievement [Power of the Domain]."
"[Power of the Domain]: Master the power of a domain. The basic reward is +3 for all attributes. After wearing it, the domain ability is increased by 100%."
Looking at the information appearing at the bottom of the system log, Rhodes seemed to realize something, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
The power of the field, this is the powerful ability that Rhodes yearns for. In Rhode's impression, this ability can only be possessed by those creatures at the pinnacle of legend. Whether it is the realm of the dead shown by North or the shadow realm shown by Sally, they all have various powerful effects.
However, Rhodes didn't know what method to use to obtain this unique ability. What he didn't expect was that he had obtained this power through hundreds of years of research on spiritualism in the dark space.
In the dark space, hundreds of years of research without stopping for a moment finally allowed Rhodes to obtain this ability. For this, Rhodes felt a little happy in his heart.
Although Rhodes was unwilling to fail to obtain the god-level spiritualism, he was still able to accept it. After all, as long as he returned to his true body, he would be able to possess this special skill again.
In Rhode's impression, he has never seen any other creature that can possess god-level special skills. It seems that ordinary creatures, except with the help of artifacts, cannot rely on their own efforts to upgrade their special skills to god-level skills. class.
Countless years of research in the dark space have made Rhodes deeply aware of this. There seems to be a deep barrier between the legendary level and the god level, preventing any creature from crossing.
Among the racing achievements that Rhodes has obtained, several can directly increase the level of spiritualism, but the upper limit is only to the legendary level and cannot cross the barrier of the god level. Rhodes has tried this a long time ago.
The existence of artifacts and the special skill levels attached to them seems to be the only way to upgrade special skills to god level. At least in Rhode's opinion, there is only one way to obtain god-level special skills.
With a sigh, Rhodes finally gave up on entering the dark space again and turned his attention to his own domain.
When it comes to the existence of the field, Rhodes' past experience can no longer help him, and he can only rely on himself to slowly explore.
After trying out the power of the domain for a while, Rhodes soon had the answer.
The domain is like a permanent passive ability. It does not require Rhodes to do anything or consume any mana, but it can always exist and cover a large area around him.
In addition, what surprised Rhodes was that he could not take the initiative to close his domain.
Domain abilities that cannot be turned off are not always a good thing at certain times.
Among them, Sally, who controls the Shadow Realm, is permanently shrouded in darkness, and all light disappears wherever she goes, making it impossible for anyone to see her. And she couldn't hide her identity. Once the extremely dark black mist appeared, all her enemies would know that she was coming.
Because of this, when Rhodes, who once had scarlet eyes, saw her in the black mist, she became very interested in him and invited him to the headquarters of the Thieves Guild.
