After entering the stone gate, what appeared in front of Rhodes was a half-person-high stone platform with a parchment scroll placed on it.
Rhodes looked at the illusion around him, but did not pick up the parchment rashly, but looked at the big demon in the team. At Rhodes's signal, a big demon with broken horns quickly stepped forward and picked up the parchment on the stone platform for him.
Seeing that there were no triggering traps, Rhodes was slightly relieved. After the big demon checked the parchment, he then checked it. Soon, Rhodes was also attracted by the contents of the parchment.
"Soul fusion..."
After carefully browsing the contents recorded on the parchment, Rhodes' expression gradually became serious.
The focus of a branch of the fusion ritual recorded on the parchment also shifted from the general physical fusion to the fusion of the soul.
Fusion with other souls, although it can make one's own soul stronger, will also cause memory and consciousness to be eroded by other souls. This is also where ordinary fusion rituals are lacking.
However, if you follow the method recorded in the parchment, you don't have to worry about this at all. The leader of the ritual can select the leader of the fusion from the souls that are about to be fused, so that they will not be corroded by other souls at all.
Holding the parchment tightly, if Rhodes could master this method before, when facing the soul of the stigmatized person, he would no longer have to rely on the source of sin to absorb it, but could directly use those souls The fragments strengthen one's soul.
The special skill of spiritualism also contains many methods of tempering the soul, which can make the soul of the necromancer continue to grow, thereby meeting the requirements of the endless night ritual. But for the lich level, how to increase the strength of the soul, in spiritualism There is no record.
After putting the parchment away, Rhodes' eyes became more thoughtful.
Battles in the main plane rarely involve the soul level, and only a few ancient legendary creatures master attacks against the soul, especially the angels in Yunzhong City.
Once those angels return to Yunzhong City and are no longer bound by the main plane, their overall strength will undergo a qualitative change. Almost all attacks can directly cause damage to the soul. This is also the reason why for countless years, no other creature has been able to invade the angel's lair, which is Yunzhong City.
However, in Rhodes' memory, the protagonist of the third expansion pack in his previous life finally achieved this feat, leading countless demons to break through the Gate of Glory in Yunzhong City. I don't know if he can still do it now. Do it all.
Outside the main plane, magic and spiritual elemental people are experts in studying souls. Among all elemental creatures, they are also the most special existences. According to Rhodes' prediction, with the awakening of the Elemental Lord, he might meet them soon.
In the series of events that led to the awakening of the Elemental Lord, the magical and spiritual elemental people stood in a very special position. Even the mages of Brakada did not regard them as enemies. In the Elemental City established in the future , they even became the guardians of the Elemental City and stayed in the main plane.
Rhodes shook his head and put away the secret method in the parchment. He was not ready to try it now. Unexpectedly, he would encounter such a harvest on the way to rescue Alama. For Rhodes, this is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.
"Master, it's not good!"
While Rhodes was thinking, Farese suddenly reported to him urgently, with anxiety in his eyes.
"What happened?" Rhodes frowned and asked quickly.
"Just now, Marin and the fusion monster who left first suddenly let out a scream. I was going to send other big demons to check, but I didn't expect..." Speaking of this, Farese's face showed a faint expression. With a look of surprise, "The road behind was blocked at some point... The passage we used to get here has now disappeared..."
Following Farese's report, the nearby big demons also had expressions of fear on their faces.
The existence of the Death Realm gives these demons the ability to die, but if they are trapped in this passage forever and cannot escape from this strange place, what difference does it make whether they die or not?
"Don't worry." After listening to Farese's report, Rhodes looked calm and just answered lightly. His calmness also gave strength to many demons who were watching him, so that they no longer panic. "These are normal phenomena in the Tomb of the Demon King. Keep moving forward."
After receiving Rhode's order, Farese looked calm, and then yelled at the demon behind him, quickly regained his discipline, and then walked across the stone platform where the parchment was placed, heading towards the depths of the royal tomb.
While walking, Rhodes faintly felt a line of sight staring at him. Rhodes looked back and found that there was nothing strange about the demon nearby, as if it was just his illusion.
Soon, another hard stone door blocked the path ahead.
After the last experience, Rhodes did not dare to let those demons try to destroy it again, so he went forward alone to study the mystery on the stone gate.
"This is……"
Looking at the pattern shown on the stone door, Rhodes was slightly stunned for a moment, showing an unexpected look.
Rhodes saw a not-so-detailed map drawn on the stone gate. The area shown on the map was not Nigon, the underground world where Rhodes was located, but a well-known map of the main plane. method, mapping out the main areas of Eri, Diya, Bracada, etc., with Erathia in the center.
"Isn't this a world map? Why does it appear in this underground passage?" Beside Rhodes, Farese was also extremely surprised, showing confusion in his eyes.
"This is not a map of this era." Looking at the map in front of him carefully, Rhodes soon discovered the clues.
On the map, the area belonging to Diya is too large, covering almost the entire east. This is also different from the geographical knowledge in Rhodes' mind.
In Rhode's impression, Diya, where the necromancer is located, can only survive between the two behemoths Erathia and Eli. The life of ordinary necromancers is not much better.
The Tularion Forest that runs across Eli, and the coastal area from north to east of the continent, all the way to the land bordering Erathia, is classified as the territory of the elves. Only in the second expansion pack did Diya's territory expand a lot, but it was not as huge as on the map.
Because of this, Rhodes realized that the world map in front of him did not correspond to his era, but an even older period.
