Chapter 1112 Stage
During the period when Rhodes came to the top floor, the death energy in Rowling's body became more and more intense, and an aura belonging to a lich began to permeate the tower.
Combining the various abnormalities observed before and the things used in the ritual, Rhodes has recognized what kind of ritual Rowling is guiding.
If Rhodes is not wrong in his judgment, the ceremony being held at the top of the Soul Summoning Tower at this time is the most mysterious of all kinds of undead spell rituals, and it is also the endless night ritual that is necessary for promotion to Lich.
When the ceremony is successfully completed, the Mother of the Dead, which is the core of the ceremony, will disintegrate, and all the pure death energy contained in it will be absorbed by Rowling, and Rowling herself will get rid of the limitations of the human body and become an immortal lich.
Rhodes didn't know what Rowling had experienced during this period of time. Her strength had risen to the point where she could perform the endless night ceremony, and she took the initiative to hold this ceremony at the top of the Soul Summoning Tower, but Rhodes didn't want her to be promoted just like that for the lich.
In the later stage of the game, since the attribute points and skill points obtained by upgrading are roughly the same, the only thing that can really widen the gap is the difference in professional specialties, apart from the quality of equipment treasures.
Once promoted to a lich, Rowling's spellcasting ability will be limited by the lich itself, and the overall strength will drop a lot, and the immortal ability of the lich will not be able to bring any improvement to the strength for a while. A judgment was made a long time ago.
Rather than letting Rowling be promoted to a lich, Rhodes hopes that she can maximize her spellcasting ability and choose other professions related to spellcasting.
Even with the restrictions of spiritualism, Rowling could not become an orthodox legendary mage, and Rhodes did not want her to be promoted to a lich, thus wasting her originally powerful spellcasting ability.
Rhode noticed that Rowling was still in the first stage of the endless night ritual at this time, so there was still a possibility of remedial action.
Epic-level spiritualism has already had extremely detailed records of the endless night ritual. After all, before being promoted to a lich, there are few other methods that can allow a necromancer to obtain epic-level spiritualism, and Rhodes possesses a god-level Spiritualism, even more so, has an extremely detailed analysis of this ceremony.
According to the feedback information in the spiritualism, the endless night ritual of transforming the lich is divided into three stages according to the depth of progress.
In the first stage, the necromancer will use the power of death energy to severely corrode his body, even reaching the level of death, so as to complete the initial transformation of death energy.
The crimson lines on the surrounding walls contained extremely strong death energy. As the ceremony progressed, they were gradually approaching Rowling to complete the erosion of the body.
For regular necromancers, when they are at the last level before being promoted to Lich, which is the fifth level corresponding to senior necromancers, the erosion of their bodies by death energy is to allow them to adapt to the endless night ritual in advance environment in order to meet the needs of being promoted to a Lich.
Under the erosion of death energy, the body of the senior necromancer will fall into a state of decay. While his appearance becomes terrifying, it also fits the physical death required for the first stage of the endless night ritual.
This is why the senior necromancers in Diya pursue the appearance corroded by the energy of death. Compared with it, they don't care about the terrifying appearance at all.
Due to the erosion of death energy in the endless night ritual, most liches cannot retain a complete human body after completing the ritual.
In Rhodes' line of sight, Rowling, who was sitting cross-legged in front of her, already had obvious erosion marks on her backlit face.
There were blood and flesh falling off in some places, and the teeth inside that half of the side could even be seen through the side face. The short hair was extremely messy and fell off from time to time.
At this time, Rowling's face, which was not covered by the wide black robe, had this level of erosion marks of death energy, not to mention other parts of the body.
Looking at Rowling in this state, Rhodes was able to perceive more states in her body through blood perception. During the time Rhodes was exiled, Rowling's mood was always very low, even to the point of haggard.
Rhodes noticed that the energy-absorbing secret method that he had originally sought for Rowling had not been used by her for a long time. Obviously, before that, she had planned to hold the endless night ceremony and prepared for the ceremony for a long time.
The top of the Summoning Tower is the center where death energy converges in the entire Undead City. As long as the ritual pattern outside the tower is not damaged, it can even gather the death energy of the entire Undead City if necessary. This also makes many powerful Necromancers, They all like to conduct their own research at the top of the Summoning Tower.
Rowling chose the location of the endless night on the top of the Soul Summoning Tower, obviously to make use of the efficacy of the Soul Summoning Tower itself, and even the entire Soul Summoning Tower was built for this ceremony.
The erosion of the body in the first stage of the ceremony can be completed in advance through the preparations made during the senior necromancer period. This stage mainly depends on the daily accumulation of the necromancer and the degree of fit with the energy of death. It will not be too big Dangerous, Rowling at this time is in the first half of this stage.
And in the second stage of the Endless Long Night Ritual, all kinds of rare materials will cooperate with the death energy to fully stimulate the potential in the soul of the leader of the ritual, making it reach an unprecedented level of strength. Even spiritualism can't limit this. state of the soul.
During this stage, the necromancer performing the ceremony will endure unimaginable pain. The pain that directly tears the soul far exceeds the limit of physical pain, and it is not something ordinary people can bear.
During the ceremony, the necromancer must remain awake at all times. Once he faints due to pain, or loses consciousness, the entire endless night ritual will fail immediately, and the necromancer's own soul will dissipate, and his consciousness will fall into eternal silence.
The dissipation of the soul will cause extremely serious consequences. Even if the body of the necromancer remains at the last moment, there is no way to wake up the necromancer in this state. .
The second stage of the endless night ritual follows immediately after the end of the first stage. Once entering the second stage, there will be no way to stop the endless night ritual.
Some senior necromancers have completed the erosion of the body by death energy long before the ceremony started, and the more powerful senior necromancers can even skip the physical erosion of the first stage of the ceremony and directly start the second stage.
