Chapter 958: Choice
I don't know how long it took, but consciousness returned to Savina's body.
The surrounding scene, compared with the scene in Savina's memory, has changed a lot, the original flame has long been extinguished with the descending of the black clouds, and the surrounding silence is silent, as if what happened before is just a nightmare for Savina.
Wrong...... Savina suddenly realized something, and through the faint light of the dark blue sky, the corpses of those who had been most corrupted by those companions clearly appeared in its sight, proving that everything in its memory was not wrong.
Through her own perception, Savina noticed that there was an extra strange and powerful energy in her body, which had something in common with the black clouds that had fallen before, symbolizing ominous and death, and in addition, in her mind, something that restricted Savina's movements, also made it aware of the abnormality on her body.
Not far from Savina, Rhodes watched the lizardman hero's reaction.
Looking at the death knight who had just been transformed by himself, Rhodes was not very satisfied.
After obtaining the Cloak of the Ghost King, Rhodes has not yet carried out the transformation of the Death Knight, and Rod does not know what kind of help such an artifact can bring to the transformation process of the Death Knight.
The lizardman hero in front of him undoubtedly provided Rhodes with an opportunity to try, and in the process of completing the transformation of the Death Knight, Rhodes also focused on trying this point.
The transformation of the Death Knight is not the same as directly transforming undead creatures with summoning, but requires the help of special transformation rituals to achieve this, and before completing the transformation of Savina, Rhodes was worried that the artifact would not be able to help the transformation process.
Relying on the unique effects brought by the artifact, Rhodes was also able to ignore the traditional transformation rules and promote the Death Knight to a higher-ranking undead creature in the process of transforming the Death Knight.
With the power of the artifact, Rhodes was able to forcibly elevate any undead creature he transformed into to the level of the Death Witch King, and the Death Knight was no exception.
The existence of the Ghost King's cloak does not directly improve the rank of undead creatures, but transforms dead creatures into different types of undead creatures, and in the process, makes them have corresponding ranks, for example, the corpse witch king corresponds to the sixth order, and the general corpse witch corresponds to the fifth order.
The type of undead creature that can be transformed is determined by Rhodes' own level of spiritualism, and with the blessing of god-level spiritualism, Rhodes can transform any dead creature into a corpse witch king.
Of course, this does not mean that Rhodes can only elevate dead creatures to the level of the Corpse Witch King, according to Rod's needs, he can transform the dead creatures into other kinds of undead creatures, such as vampires, ghosts, corpse witches, etc., but he can't reach the sixth order corresponding to the Corpse Witch King in terms of rank.
In order to gain a large amount of experience points and maximize the effectiveness of the Ghost King's Cloak, Rhodes generally does not deliberately transform into other types of low-level undead creatures, but transforms into the Ghost King all of them.
If Rhodes wanted to, it would be possible to convert dead creatures into lower-rank, but different types of undead creatures.
At this time, the transformation of Savina undoubtedly gave Rod a chance to choose.
Through the information fed back by the peep eye, Rhodes learned that the lizardman hero in front of him was a fourth-order, and according to the basic attributes and the weapons he was wearing, it was obviously good at hand-to-hand combat, not casting spells.
Because of this, Rhodes was a little hesitant when it came to choosing the type of undead creature after the transformation.
Directly transforming it into a sixth-order Corpse Witch King is undoubtedly a huge boost to its strength, but this forced improvement also destroys the original potential of the hero template.
After this period of trying, according to Rhodes's understanding of the artifact in his hand, once he transforms Savina into the Corpse Witch King, Savina's basic attributes, as well as special skills related to melee combat, will not be improved, and the only gain is that the Corpse Witch King's ability to cast spells on the Cloud of Death, as well as a higher level of spiritualism.
Rod's behavior is equivalent to replacing Savina's original basic template with the template of the Witch King, although the attributes attached to the hero template will not be affected by it, but it still weakens Savina's potential.
For ordinary creatures, especially low-level creatures with only one or two orders, relying on the power of the artifact to transform it into a corpse witch king is undoubtedly the greatest improvement in their strength, there is no other choice at all, this is a realm that it is almost impossible for them to achieve by their own strength.
It's just that putting this kind of promotion on the hero seems to be a bit more than worth the loss, if Rod transforms it in the original way, what he gets in the end is just a more intelligent corpse witch king, and there is no difference in strength from other ordinary corpse witch kings.
Just like raising Rhodes' own rank without giving him any attribute or skill points, this behavior seriously weakens the original growth potential.
In Rod's view, due to the existence of a hero template in Savina, although he can use the effect of the artifact to directly give it the power that the Corpse Witch King has, this behavior is undoubtedly related to the fact that the upgrade does not give skill points and attribute points, which greatly destroys the characteristics of the hero itself.
Rhodes attaches great importance to the fifth-order profession God Seeker he has promoted, because of the professional specialty of this rank, he can get double the point reward when he is upgraded, and he has great potential.
Because of this, Rhodes had no intention of transforming the Lizardman hero into the Corpse Witch King, and even did not use the ability of the Ghost King's cloak in the process of transformation, only completing the transformation of the basic Death Knight.
In Rod's eyes, Savina, who had completed the transformation at this time, had no change in strength from before, and was just an ordinary death knight.
This discovery also made Rhodes realize that even if he obtained a new Death Knight in future battles, in order to ensure that his original strength was not weakened, it was best not to use the Ghost King Cloak for transformation.
Of course, the death knights referred to here are limited to those who promised to be loyal to Rhodes before their deaths, and as for those heroes who are unwilling to be loyal to Rhodes, Rhodes doesn't need to think more, just transform them into the Corpse Witch King.
Relying on the god-level spiritualism and the improvement of the transformation ritual, it didn't take long for Rhodes to complete the transformation of Savina. The inability to use the Cloak of the Ghost King, the ability to improve the undead creatures, to the transformation of the Death Knight, is the reason why Rhodes is a little dissatisfied.
