Chapter 156: The mystery is revealed
Don't look at Rhodes' stumbling and miserable journey on the Shadow Isle, but in any case, except for the appearance of Vikz, things have never been out of his control.
And the main reason why he seemed to be acting so reluctantly before was that he needed to hide Jana as a point of kill with one hit.
You must know that after defeating Naga Kapolos before, after Cana successfully regained some of the power of the storm, her strength can be said to have gained an unimaginable flyover for ordinary people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a shotgun for a cannon!
And after the Battle of Bilgewater, Cana has been familiar with this power - until now, she has been able to completely crush Maude Caesar, and even pull the others together.
So, the question is, why didn't Cana come directly to Shadow Island to open Musou?
It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.
Others don't know about Maude Caesar's well, but doesn't Rhodes know...... With LeBlanc's thorough question, Rod's hole cards against Maude Caesar can be said to be clear.
The power of that well, which was able to create beings like Hekarim, Hammerstone, and Karthas, was evident.
That's right, the soul fragments of these guys, although in the hands of Mordekaiser, are actually slaves to the well - even Maudekaiser is in the service of that well in a sense.
As for the bottom of that well......
Whether the king who cursed the Isle of Shadows was not dead, or whether it had been a sanity of its own for a long time, or whether the magic of the Fuguang Island period had some unknown effect - this was not clear to Rhodes.
After all, LeBlanc's news comes from the double agent Elise, and these most intimate things are just a peek in the tube.
But in any case, what Rhodes can be sure of is that the purification of Shadow Island is not focused on Mord Caesar, nor on the undead of Shadow Island, but on that well.
Even if Mordecaesar were to be killed, perhaps the power of the curse would cling to the undead of the entire island - and vice versa.
So Rod had to hide everything.
As LeBlanc said, "The consciousness of that well is so terrifying that it can affect everything imperceptibly, and the eyes of that double agent are about to turn into a pool of water." ”
Rhodes must hide from everyone on Shadow Island in order to avoid the well!
Let's go back and look at Rod's whole train of thought.
First of all, I went to the island and got the help of Yorick and Mokai, and basically avoided abnormal situations such as getting lost - don't laugh...... Don't laugh! What's wrong with road idiots?!
Then Rhodes showed a rather strong side, and when facing everyone on Shadow Island, he regarded himself as the core.
Although the battle along the way seemed a bit struggling and difficult, with the help of Yorick and Mokai, Rhodes finally entered the immortal fortress through the secret passage of the True Knowing Sect.
Throughout the whole process, Jana has been playing a supporting role and has played it well.
And only in this way can Rhodes ensure that the well does not know that Cana is the real main force, so that the well can press the treasure on Maude Caesar's body!
Think about it, if Cana opened Musou as soon as she landed on the island......
Rhodes is confronted either by the undead who are endlessly strengthened by the water of the well, or by Maude Caesar, who has inherited all the power of the water from the well.
In both cases, Rhodes could not afford it.
On the other hand, only by hiding her strength in this way and causing the misjudgment of that well can Jana be able to kill with one blow at a critical moment.
Like now.
Now, knowing the power of Cana, the well has no chance to strengthen Mordecaesar, and it is too late to strengthen those peripheral undead - as for strengthening Mordecaesar, who will be resurrected next time...... Rhodes won't give this a chance!
This time, Rod's purpose was not to eat a son, but to general.
……………………
Karthas didn't have time to explain the whole process, so he could only remind him that "this is a god".
However, in Mordekaiser's view, this is obviously a nonsense - the powerful existence of Cana in mid-air, coupled with Rod's identity, in Mordkaiser's eyes, this is either a god or an envoy possessed by a god, there is no difference between the two.
It's too late to complain about Karthas's intelligence (it's Karthas's judgment that Cana didn't threaten, who would have thought that Karthas had seen Cana but didn't recognize it), and Maudekaiser could only try to protect himself.
But...... How can it be that easy?
Before Mordecaesar could react, the lightning whip in Jana's hand slashed down on her head.
"Smack~"
With a crisp sound, Maudekaisa's helmet was scorched.
Although Maudecaesar's defense was strong, he was still dizzy after a whip - not only because of a blow to the head, but also because he was swept away.
Containing full of wind and thunder power, Cana's whip is not so easy to catch!
Especially for this bastard who fought with Rhodes for a long time, Cana's subordinates were even more merciless.
At the same time, under the command of Rod, the others also started to help Jana for the first time.
The behavior of others is actually very simple, just block the door and shout 666.
Now Cana is not the shy and timid goddess she was when Zaun and Rhodes first met - after becoming the faith of the Twin Cities and reclaiming some of the Storm Priesthood (or the power of the Storm Runes is better), now Cana is a true goddess!
Hammerstone is very torturous?
With a whip down, the arm that was intact was broken—and the hammerstone could only shiver in the corner of the wall after the soul-attracting lamp fell to the ground with a "bang".
Is Karthas a genius who is well-versed in death?
With a whip down, Karthas almost died - although he was not dead now, he had also lost all strength to resist.
Hecarim has no fighting spirit?
With a whip, Hekarim lost his fighting spirit completely, and at this moment suddenly recalled the fear of being dominated by Naga Kapoulos, who had "defeated" Naga Kapoulos in Bilgewater.
As for Maude Caesar......
This tin can is really extraordinary, Cana has smoked more than a dozen whips, and Maude Caesar can still hold a hammer and scold.
But at such a time, what is the use of scolding?
Mokai and Yorick, who were on the side, looked stupid.
This...... O gods!!
Although Yorick already vaguely felt Cana's identity, he never expected that Cana would be able to do this now!
Although there is still a gap compared to the top great magicians of the previous era in Yorick's impression, it is strong enough!
As for Rhodes...... At this moment, Rod was refreshed.
So much effort was wasted in Bilgewaterrod for this moment!
My goddess - awesome, right?
