Chapter Ninety-Five: Transforming the Death Knight
When a hero is transformed into a Death Knight, they lose most of their positive feelings. Once transformed into a Death Knight, feelings of joy, satisfaction, and pity cease to exist.
Once the Death Knight is transformed, he will gain spiritualism and spirit sigils on his own. Death Knights can replace necromancers and transform their own undead creatures.
For heroes, being transformed into a death knight will not reduce their own attributes, but their overall strength can be improved.
Therefore, many evil heroes, in order to get stronger power, will take the initiative to transform themselves into death knights after mastering a certain amount of necromancy.
Due to the fact that the Death Knight retains his thinking abilities intact, for the Necromancer, the Death Knight is more like a subordinate capable of carrying out tasks than a simple undead creature.
In many cases, necromancers have the Death Knight on a long-range mission, so it is important for the Death Knight to exercise independent judgment.
A large part of the strength of a high-level necromancer depends on the number of death knights under his command.
But for Rod, the centaur leader in front of him would not obey his orders so easily, and Rod could only force him to carry out his orders through the spirit seal.
Rhodes plans to transform the centaur leader in front of him into a death knight, but it is difficult to do so according to Rod's current level of spiritualism, so Rhodes needs to increase his level of spiritualism.
After spending 3 skill points, Rhodes upgraded his spiritualism to expert level.
(Expert Spiritualism: You've learned all the necromancy spells recorded in the books, but you're still not satisfied, and you start searching for the truth about death.) You can create any kind of low-level undead creatures. Slightly reduces the amount of mana required to awaken the dead. )
Under the effect of the achievement [Necromancer], Rod's spiritualism has reached the Grandmaster level, and he is able to transform into a death knight.
At the same time, Rhodes also realized that he only needed to get 3 more skill points to raise the base of spiritualism to the Grandmaster level, and at the same time gain another achievement. At that time, with the blessing of two achievements, Rhodes Spiritualism was able to reach an extremely strong level.
The Death Knight has his own will, and only at the first time when the transformation is successful, the transformer will first control it with a spirit mark, if this is not the case, the Death Knight will be difficult to control.
At this time, Rhodes set his eyes on the corpse of the centaur leader in front of him.
Under the influence of the grandmaster-level spiritualism, Rhodes has mastered the method of creating a death knight.
Instead of moving the corpse of the centaur leader, Rhodes took out a number of revenant crystals directly from the spatial ring.
Rhodes took the Revenant Crystal in his hand, carefully selected it, and kept seven of the Revenant Crystals in his hand, and the remaining Revenant Crystals were taken back to the spatial ring.
Rhodes placed six of the Revenant Crystals around the Centaur Leader at certain intervals, and when viewed from above, the six Revenant Crystals formed a hexagonal shape, and the body of the Centaur Leader was placed in the center of the hexagon.
Under Rod's selection, these six Revenant Crystals were roughly the same level of purity, and their quality was all in the middle to upper class.
Around these Revenant Crystals, Rhodes began to use his magical abilities to attract death energy, and the death energy released by the Revenant Crystals intertwined with each other, forming a special formation.
At this time, there was still the last Revenant Crystal left in Rod's hand, and this Revenant Crystal was also the purest of the Revenant Crystals that Rhodes had.
Outside the circle, Rhodes sliced the palm of his left hand with his weapon, dripping his blood on the six revenant crystals at the edge of the circle.
As Rhodes progressed, a special change had apparently taken place in the circle of the transformation ritual. Through blood, Rhodes developed some connection with these Revenant Crystals.
Rhodes stepped into the formation and placed the last Revenant Crystal in the center of the formation, where the corpse of the centaur leader was.
As Rhodes let go of his clenched hand, the Revenant Crystal floated above the formation, and the Revenant Crystal continued to rise upwards for some distance before stopping in the air.
Rod walked out of the circle, and suddenly, a strange change began to occur inside the circle.
The thumb-sized Revenant Crystal did not stand motionless in the air, but slowly rotated in one direction.
The death energy in the circle began to change somewhat as the Revenant Crystal rotated. In Rhodes' perception, the energy of death that had escaped from the Revenant Crystal was now beginning to gather around the corpse of the centaur leader.
Rhodes looked into the circle, and although there didn't seem anything unusual inside the circle, the transformation ritual had been activated by the Revenant Crystal.
The transformation of the death knight has always been a difficult act, and many necromancers, even if they have grandmaster-level spiritualism, do not have the strength to transform the death knight.
Since it takes a lot of death energy to transform into a Death Knight, even if the necromancer consumes all the mana he has, it may not be able to achieve it, so the necromancer needs to use the Revenant Crystal.
It is difficult to meet this level by relying on a single Revenant Crystal, so it takes multiple extremely high-quality Revenant Crystals to form a special ritual circle to activate it.
Rhodes knew that according to the hints from the spiritualism, it should actually be the necromancer himself who attracted the energy of the Revenant Crystal in the magic circle.
The necromancer who guides the circle must have a high level of wisdom and occultism, and Rhodes has not yet reached this level, so he can only use the highest quality revenant crystals instead.
The blood that Rhodes smeared on the Revenant Crystal was a medium to establish a spiritual imprint with the corpse of the centaur leader, allowing Rhodes to control it after the transformation was successful.
Once the ritual was set up, Rhodes asked the centaur leader to transform himself.
At this point, Rhodes came to the previous battlefield.
Rhodes had previously given orders to the ghosts and vampires through the spirit imprint to drag the centaur corpses around them to a location, and the undead creatures had complied.
Rhodes came to the place where the corpses had gathered, took the remaining Revenant Crystals from the spatial ring, and placed them in the middle of the place where the corpses were.
At this time, Rhodes has already disposed of the corpses on the battlefield, and only needs to wait for them to be transformed, and he can obtain a large number of undead creatures.
Looking at the centaur corpses around him, Rhodes knew that his overall strength could be greatly improved.
The vampire removed the corpse of a centaur, and lay down in the closest position to the Revenant Crystal, falling into a deep dormancy.
Rhodes sat down on the side of the battlefield and watched the ghosts around him on the alert, and then began to meditate.
