After successfully escaping from the Kingdom of Dragon, Rhodes and his party returned to the island in the water elemental plane.
"I'm finally back..."
Looking at Rowling and Inota lying on the shattered deck of the Percy, Rhodes sighed in his heart.
Although Enota was injured, and Rowling's hair was disheveled after this period of adventure, and she looked very embarrassed, they finally escaped from the air elemental plane.
Coming to the water elemental plane that has been established for a long time, Rhodes is not afraid of Moriel's dragon army here.
If the fairy dragons of the dragon army dare to open the door to another dimension and pursue them, the hundreds of millions of undead creatures in the ocean will teach them a painful lesson.
Only at this moment, seeing that Rowling and Inota were safe, could Rhodes truly return to the surface world.
After being safe, Rhodes was not happy for long, and was soon troubled by new problems.
"Rhode, where have you been all this time? How dare you leave me and Rowling here? Do you know how much experience Rowling spent on studying magic rituals to guard against those mages? Humph, what are you going to do? Compensate us?”
Enota circled the center of the magic ship, where Rhode's previously fused body circled twice, and soon accepted the fact that the strange-looking creature in front of her was none other than Rhode.
As a giant dragon, no matter what Rhode's body becomes, she can quickly accept it without any other thoughts.
On the side, although Rowling didn't say anything, she looked at Rhodes with a bit of expectation.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be like this. My true body is still trapped in the Treasure House in the Cloud, and I need your help to wake it up. After I fully recover, you can make whatever compensation you want." Rhodes felt helpless. said.
"Really?" Inota asked in surprise, but then she seemed to have thought of something, and her face was full of worry.
"Of course it's true." Rhode assured. As he spoke, he looked at Rowling not far away. "Tell me about you, Rowling. What happened to the hero you just summoned? What's going on?" Yes, wasn't the sacrifice ritual of Nigun that you used before? Where did you learn it?"
In the process of dealing with the two of them, what surprised Rhodes the most was not Inota, but Rowling on the side.
The various abilities Rowling displayed were completely beyond Rhodes' expectations. Not to mention how she summoned the ancient hero, the sacrifice ritual she used was enough to shock Rhodes.
The sacrifice ritual is a secret technique that only the top magicians are qualified to perform. It was developed by the King of Magicians. Even among Negon, only the royal family once led by Hadward is qualified to conduct research.
Sacrifice rituals possess unimaginable power. A sacrifice ceremony is equivalent to the combination of all magic and all sorcery.
No matter what the user wants, as long as he masters the sacrifice ritual, he can sacrifice the lives of other creatures in exchange for sorcery.
Of course, the sacrifice ritual does not prohibit the user from releasing it on himself. The user's own life can also be used in the sacrifice ritual. However, except for creatures in desperate situations, other creatures will not do this.
Even more powerful than the ritual of sacrifice is the ritual of prayer. The prayer ritual does not require the sacrifice of any creature's life, and can achieve the same effect as the sacrifice ritual, in exchange for everything the user wants. Rhodes recalled that at this stage of the expansion, the prayer ritual had not yet been developed.
Because of this, when Rhodes saw Rowling participating in the sacrifice ceremony, he would feel sincerely angry in his heart. He would continue to defy the general trend of the expansion and take action against the dragon army that would later dominate the main plane.
Rhodes didn't know how Rowling mastered the sacrifice ritual. It seems that during the time they were trapped in hell, Luo Lin and the others have made great progress in strength.
In the previous battle, due to the urgency of the situation, Rhodes was unable to learn more from Rowling. He could only put aside his doubts for the time being. When it was safe, Rhodes would naturally ask Rowling for clarification.
"Brother, during your absence, I checked the efficacy of each prophecy card. The sacrifice ceremony is the pattern drawn on one of the prophecy cards." She answered.
Rhodes asked: "I remember that the sacrifice ritual can be exchanged for anything. Can't you just use the effect of the ritual to teleport yourself and Inota away?"
Rowling shook her head and explained: "That is just a weakened version of the sacrifice ritual, and the effect is not as powerful as the real sacrifice ritual. No matter how many creatures are sacrificed, the power of the ritual can only be used to awaken the ancient heroes in the prophecy cards. , you can’t exchange for what you want like a real sacrifice ceremony.”
He nodded, but heard Rowling continue: "However, for this reason, the sacrifice ritual in the prophecy card does not necessarily require sacrificing the lives of other creatures, it can also sacrifice one of their characteristics, or Lifespan, hero status, other characteristics, it’s just less effective. If you sacrifice your life, everything else will be included.”
From Rowling's explanation, he also understood the limitations of the sacrifice ritual in the prophecy card.
The most powerful and important thing about the sacrifice ritual is that it can be exchanged for anything the user wants, and it can even directly take the lives of other creatures through the power of the ritual.
The sacrifice ritual mastered by Rowling is obviously improved from the real sacrifice ritual. Although the effect is similar, it is completely different from the real sacrifice ritual.
After realizing this, Rhodes sighed slightly. If there is a real sacrifice ritual, he can even sacrifice the lives of other creatures to directly transport the body in the Yunzhong Treasure House to his eyes.
Sensing Rhode's disappointment, Rowling pursed her lips and added:
"According to the number of sacrificial creatures, the abilities of the ancient heroes summoned will also change accordingly. I can feel that the sacrificial energy provided by the undead dragons before was not enough to show the true power of that hero. He It can only hold back the giant dragon in the sky. If it has enough sacrificial energy, the summoned ancient heroes can even defeat the dragon army head-on."
"Are you really sure?" he asked doubtfully, as if he didn't believe everything Rowling said.
In Rhode's view, no matter how powerful the hero was, holding back the dragon army for so long was already his limit. Unexpectedly, Rowling said that that was not the true power of the hero.
"Of course I'm sure, brother, after I successfully summoned that hero, I felt the strong ritual of that hero in the prophecy card." Rowling nodded and assured.
