Chapter 104 The Apprentice's Death
The moment the line of sight met, the Necromancer took the initiative to look away.
Rhodes looked at the trick of the necromancer in front of him and was unmoved.
Rhodes knows that the purpose of the Necromancer is not just to torture the apprentice.
At this time, the apprentice was unwilling to lift another mental mark, as if the pain of tearing the entire head from the inside made the apprentice feel great pain.
Faced with this situation, the necromancer in front of him turned cold and said solemnly to the apprentice: "Remove the mental imprint, you just need to suffer some pain. If this task cannot be completed, you will need to be severely punished!"
"Maybe you don't know. The more rewarding a task is like this, the heavier the punishment will be if you fail. If you can't complete it, think about the possible punishment."
After listening, the apprentice's will loosened a little, but he was still reluctant to remove the spiritual imprint.
"If it is a senior apprentice, it may still have the value of being transformed into an undead creature, but if it is an apprentice like you, once this task fails, it may only be used for undead transformation."
"Many powerful necromancers like to carry out this kind of experiment. Ordinary people are not qualified to carry out undead transformation, and using senior apprentices for transformation will lose a lot. An apprentice like you is just right."
"Do you know about undead transformation? I have seen one of them, which is to open your body while you are still alive and stimulate it with a series of undead spells! Or directly sew undead crystals on your Inside the body, see what happens!"
While speaking, the face of the necromancer in front of him showed a cruel and ferocious expression, but his eyes swept across Rhodes again.
The apprentice was frightened by his words, lowered his head and dared not look directly at the Necromancer in front of him, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. Rhode, who was not far away, saw all this clearly.
Thinking of the possible punishment, the apprentice held back the pain and once again lifted the mental imprint of an undead creature.
The pain that reappeared directly filled the apprentice's mind. Due to the successive removal of the spiritual imprint, the mental backlash became stronger and stronger, and the apprentice almost burst into tears.
At this time, even if the necromancer was still shouting something in front of the apprentice, the apprentice couldn't listen at all.
The apprentice's entire thinking was almost torn apart by pain, and he could not perceive anything but pain.
The apprentice's roar caused by the pain attracted the rest of the necromancers around. These necromancers all looked towards this side with interest, but did not take the initiative to approach.
By the time the pain passed, the apprentice's consciousness had begun to blur.
At this time, the apprentice suddenly saw that the Necromancer in front of him had raised his hand and faced himself.
This posture, of course, the apprentice is all too familiar with, it is the preparation before casting the spell.
Before the apprentice made any move, the voice of the necromancer came over.
"It's a pity, if you can't complete this task with your own strength, then I'll help you complete it."
After realizing what the Necromancer in front of him wanted to do, the apprentice wanted to hide behind him.
But because of the severe pain and the overall sluggish response from fear, he couldn't do anything but trembling.
Seeing this situation, the necromancer said: "I will give you one last chance to remove the spiritual imprint of all undead creatures."
The voice turned cold, and although the tone of a command was no longer used, its meaning was beyond doubt.
Perhaps it was the fear of death that deeply stimulated the apprentice in front of him. Compared to that, suffering some pain might really be nothing.
With this courage that emerged from his heart, the apprentice completely ignored the pain caused by the removal of the spiritual imprint, and the veins burst out on his face, removing all the remaining spiritual imprints.
As the spiritual imprint of the last undead creature was lifted, the apprentice felt a sense of relief. Although there was still severe pain in his mind, the task was completed, and he would not be punished and be rewarded...
At this moment, a magic arrow shot rapidly, and the unsuspecting apprentice obviously did not expect this, and was killed in an instant.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The necromancer who killed the apprentice let out a burst of laughter, with a frantic expression on his face.
Dealing with corpses all the year round, watching the apprentices around him die one by one, and their hands are covered with the blood of innocents... For the Necromancers in the Necromancer Academy, there are always a few people who can always be firm in their minds and keep calm.
More apprentices, after being slightly stronger, fall into madness once they leave the apprentice level. For apprentices who are weaker than themselves, if they find an opportunity, they will mock them wantonly, or even kill them directly.
After laughing for a while, the Necromancer's expression gradually recovered, and at the same time he said to the apprentice on the ground:
"Don't be funny, this task is not for you, it is for those foreign necromancers... You are an apprentice, dare to take this task, it can only show that you are beyond your capacity!"
Even in front of a dead corpse, the necromancer in front of him still did not forget to make a mockery of it.
The apprentice who died was probably just an ordinary person before joining the Necromancer Academy. Because of this, the apprentice's experience was very lacking.
Not every apprentice aspires to become a powerful necromancer. Many apprentices choose to join the academy just to avoid being killed by undead mages who pass by.
But in the same way, since the apprentice chose to take over the task, he also had to pay the price for his choice.
For inexperienced apprentices, if there is no one to guide them, and their own strength and means are not outstanding, death is their final destiny.
At this time, the necromancer's gaze turned to Rhodes.
The necromancer did not know what means to use, and the surrounding undead creatures did not move after the mental imprint was lifted, and they still stopped in place.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Rhodes remained calm in his heart.
The necromancer was obviously disappointed that Rhodes did not make any movement. In his thoughts, during the process of torturing the apprentice just now, Rhodes would react somewhat.
"You're the Necromancer from outside the academy, right? So, are you ready for the next mission?"
Without waiting for Rhodes to answer, the necromancer in front of him continued: "In the northeast, there are many dwarven villages. Due to the cooperation between the dwarven villages, our offensive has not made much progress. What you need to do , is to cut off the supply in the village."
"The specific information of the mission, the spiritual imprint in the academy badge will convey it to you. If I remember correctly, there are not many necromancers willing to go to that location. I think your strength is very suitable for this mission."
"How, can you deal with those dwarves?"
The necromancer looked at Rhodes, and wanted to make some flaws in Rhodes through this series of actions. Rhodes had no expression on his face, just nodded.
"Very well, these walking corpses, you can take them away. In addition, this is the reward from the 'Black Crow' for you to come here."
After speaking, the necromancer raised his hand and threw it, and a black shadow shot towards Rhodes instantly.
At this moment, the bat on Rhodes shoulder moved. The bat threw out directly, facing the black shadow that was shooting fast. Immediately, the bat returned to Rhodes' shoulders.
With the sound of "crashing", a large amount of gold coins fell down and landed in front of Rhodes.
At this moment, a broken black cloth bag fell from the air.
