Chapter 30 Expanding the Elemental Channel
Night wurm is indeed a very serious trouble, but it is not true to say that Rhodes has no ability to solve it, the level of the young night wurm is between seventy-five and eighty, with the strength of a little bubblegum and canary, two people can still block it by joining forces to wear level eighty god costumes. The reason why there is no guarantee that they will be able to kill them is that the two of them are spellcasters after all, and the inherent disadvantage of the ranged profession cannot be remedied. Even if Little Bubblegum and Canary have both been "Demon and Martial Arts Double Cultivation", no matter what, the difference in size is always there, and in the face of a behemoth that is three or five stories high, the two of them may not be able to get any benefit even if they are close.
It's just that in this way, it will disrupt Rod's combat deployment, which is also the most headache for Rod.
Originally, in Rod's plan, Little Bubblegum was responsible for defense, and Canary was responsible for fighting against the opponent's high-level mages, and there were still too few spellcasters on his side, and there were only a few legendary casters. In addition, only Celestina is still a legendary-level spellcaster, but most of the spells used by this devil lady such as the necromantic curse are not very useful in the face of these undead creatures. Judging from the current situation, the strength of the 300-member mage group led by Colund in the undead army is still superior, but it is impossible to deal with the joint attack of these two people. If it weren't for the Dark Wurm, Rhodes was sure there wouldn't be any problems with that.
But now, the appearance of the Night Wurm has complicated the problem all of a sudden, and if you want to fight against the Night Wurm, that group of War Angels is definitely not an opponent. Instead of counting on them, it's more practical to count on canaries and little bubble gum. However, this would make it impossible for the two men to fight in the previous battle, which meant that Rhodes had to find another way to eliminate the spellcasters. Not to mention that in addition to these spellcasters, there are nearly a thousand army of vampire species. Almost every vampire species has the strength of a Central Mage, and the only good thing is that those vampire bats in the dark must be close to be able to exert their strength, but in the Death Prevention Enchantment, their strength will be greatly suppressed, and even many abilities will become weak and ineffective as a result, which is the only good news.
Because of this, after that, Rhodes handed over the work of dealing with enemy spellcasters to the War Angel Legion. Especially the Dawn Angel, originally he hoped that the Dawn Angel could retain his strength to be the most powerful trump card, but at present, it seems that only the Dawn Angel, a veritable mage killer, can help him with this. Although Rod was very unhappy to let his opponent know his trump card in advance, he wanted to fight against the Night Wulong, so he put up with it.
After agreeing on a countermeasure, Beni was ordered to leave, and although Rhodes promised Beni that the Canary and Bubblegum would be able to deal with the Night Wurm, the War Angel Legion Captain said he would report the matter to Lydia. But it's no wonder. Even if you don't care about the real combat power of the two, just the reappearance of the Night Wurm is already a very big problem. You must know that after the Creation War, almost all the sub-dragon species around the Creation Dragon Soul were far away from the world because of the great damage to their vitality, and they never showed up again, and at this time, a dark night wurm suddenly appeared, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good sign.
Although the biggest problem was solved, this did not mean that Rod's job would be easy, and war was not just a confrontation between several high-level people. The low-level troops and cannon fodder below are just as important. Otherwise, during the creation war, each of the five dragons had the power to destroy the world, and if they found a place where no one was there to fight, there would be nothing to do. But you still have to pull all the races and lives on the continent together to play this game without a winner?
But if you really talk about miscellaneous soldiers, Rhodes's side can be regarded as a complete disadvantage, not to mention against the undead army, and even against fire element creatures, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. Originally, Rhodes also hoped that Yu Qilian would be able to raise his arms on the battlefield, and then let all the fire elemental creatures summoned by the other party turn back to attack his manipulator. As a result, Seven Lovers told him with regret. Although the Burning Plains is an extension of the fire elemental plane, the people living on it are disobedient. If he regains his original strength, under the coercive aura of the Fire Elemental Lord, those guys may be somewhat restrained. But just for now, there is no way to order those guys to be obedient.
But Rhodes is not out of the cracks.
The halls of the stronghold were as quiet as ever, with howling cold winds mixed with goose feathers and heavy snow whistling through the windows. He could even hear the whistling wind whistling outside from the glass window in the corridor beating against the glass in front of him like a substance, Rhodes stood in the center of the hall, raised his head and looked at the exquisite and huge sculpture on the wall in front of him——— gorgeous, the complex pattern spread, shrouding the dome of the entire hall, outlining the appearance of a towering tree, and among the seven circles in those complicated branches, only the leftmost circle of light emitted a faint blue light, which was the first illusion key that Rhodes had inadvertently obtained before, It was with the help of this key that Rhodes summoned Agarve and other sea elves. Although these sea elves themselves are not very strong, their meticulous, careful and conscientious work is the greatest contributor to the normal operation of the fortress. Now, Rhodes needed to rely on the power of their companions. Dealing with the fire elemental naturally requires the strength of heaven and earth, and the inhabitants of the Silver Sea, one of the Seven Illusion Realms, are naturally the best combat power to use against the group of fire elemental terrorists of the undead legion.
Agavi stood silently behind Rod, the tentacles in her hair kept swinging, and the two big round eyes did not reveal the slightest expression, Rhodes glanced at his sea elf maid leader, then turned his head and opened the construction panel in front of him, and soon, he saw the system introduction that appeared in front of him.
[Phantom Tree - Key, Sea of Silver, Upgradeable (Level 1), Expandable (Level 1)]
[Upgrade Required: Sapphire X10, 25,000 Gold Coins, New Summonable Elves]
[Expansion Required: Sapphire X10.] 35,000 gold coins, increased number of summons]
[Summonable Item: Sea Elves]
Fortunately, I took precautions and asked Lydia in advance for so many magical element gems.
Looking at the prompt in front of him, Rod shrugged his shoulders. Originally, in addition to meeting the requirements of the construction system, these elemental gems were planned to be used as alchemy materials for Labis in a black batch. As a result, I didn't expect to use it now, which really made Labis Sky happy. I thought of when I went to the workshop and told Labis that I was going to requisition the sapphire and the scorched red crystal. The poor alchemy elf's face looked as if he had just received the coveted Christmas gift, but as soon as he opened the package, he was forcibly recycled by the courier company in the name of misseeing the recipient. But it's pitiful......... But that's all it can be.
Thinking of this, Rhodes took out another illusion key in his hand, according to his observations, the key of the undead legion from the Burning Plains is level three, and the elemental portal created by this key can summon a hundred fire elemental creatures from the Burning Plains per round (five minutes), that is to say, when the portal is fully open, it only takes less than an hour for these undead creatures to summon more than 10,000 mid-level fire elemental creatures. And what Rhodes has to do now is to raise the level of this Illusory Key in his hand to level four to five. In this way, according to the laws of the Seven Illusion Realms, he could summon high-level elite-level water elemental creatures for his own summoning and command. And unlike the portals that the undead legions temporarily opened, the fortress formed by the construction system in Rhodes' hands already has a perfect summoning system itself. Moreover, with the bonus of the Fountain of Mana, the Illusory Plane Passage opened in his hand will only be more powerful than the improvised one created by the Undead Legion.
So, let's get started.
Rhodes stretched out his hand, closed his eyes, and soon saw a brilliant blue glow appear on the murals that spread across the walls. The original faint flash began to gradually thicken, like a stream flowing in all directions along those complicated patterns. Soon, the temperature in the entire hall began to drop suddenly, and a faint layer of hoarfrost appeared on the originally clean and tidy floor, and at this moment, in front of Rod's eyes. A system prompt is popping up quickly, skimming.
[Upgrade Key, Sea of Silver (Level 2), Expansion (Level 2)]
[Upgrade Key, Sea of Silver (Level 3).] Expansion (Level 3)】
[Upgrade Key, Sea of Silver (Level 4), Expansion (Level 4)]
[Upgrade Key, Sea of Silver (Level 5), Expansion (Level 5)]
[Illusion Plane Passage Expansion, Enhancement, Upgrade Completed............]
At this moment, the howling cold wind rose on the ground, and the biting chill almost penetrated into the bones and spread outward, and even the light flashing in the magic crystal lamps on the surrounding walls became flickering and dimming, and a thick layer of ice edges froze on the originally transparent glass windows, and the earth began to tremble slightly. Outside the stronghold, the sides of the originally smooth road began to dent, and the snow on it quickly melted, and soon crystalline streams crisscrossed and continued to surround both sides of the road. The flat ground was raised above the ground, and the water jetted out of it, and the snow whistled past, and soon the water quickly condensed, and together with the snow, it turned into a new fountain sculpture.
【Key upgrade completed】
Rod withdrew his hand and looked at the construction panel in front of him with satisfaction. After the upgrade, the information in the Fantasy Key column is more diverse and detailed. After reaching level 5 in the Silver Sea's Key, Rhodes can now summon 500 high-level elite-level Hydro Elemental creatures per round. Not only that, but after the passage of the Illusion Key has been expanded, even the strength of the sea elves currently possessed by his subordinates will be further improved. The essence of the Illusion Key is to establish a channel in the main plane and other planes, and the stronger the channel, the more the influence of other planes will be expanded. For example, Rhodes has now seen a buff effect of [Water Elemental Power +5] in his building panel. This means that as long as you are within range of the Atonement Stronghold, all spells related to the water elemental will be enhanced. Sea elves like Agameve will become even more powerful due to the magical tidal effects of the Silver Sea.
"Huh?"
However, when Rhodes flipped through the Summons column, he found that the situation had changed, and there was only a short line of text to indicate the existence of the summons. But now, there are five patterns floating around like summoning cards, but they are different from summoning cards. They don't have the offensive and defensive numbers on the summon cards, nor do they have the core numbers that a set of cards should have, instead, they only have some information about their races, except for the ones they depict what they look like.
"Agapy, do you know what this is?"
Rod waved his finger slightly. Turning the screen, and hearing Rod's inquiry, Agame, who had been cold and silent, took two steps forward, quietly looked at the cards in front of her, and only after a moment did she answer calmly.
"Report to the master, this is a magic card."
"Magic card?"
Hearing this, Rod raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, master. Unlike your summon card, magic cards are a medium that summons our elemental creatures. And because you're attached to the Tree of Illusions, you'll only be able to summon creatures from your magic cards, not anytime, anywhere, like your summon cards. ”
"I see."
Hearing Agapy's expressionless answer, Rhodes nodded. When he saw these five cards in an instant, he thought that he had met some more conditions to get the card set. Now it seems that these magic cards are just a medium for summoning elemental creatures, like the ten forges portals of the undead legion. Thinking of this, Rhodes didn't say anything more. Instead, he began to look intently at the five cards in front of him.
The first card is of course Agapy's Sea Elf card, which is shown in groups drifting in the depths of the Silver Sea. The game seems to be a lot of fun. At the bottom of this pattern, a magically complex rune is depicted, which Rhodes can see is somewhat similar to the logo of the elves, but it is not identical, and it seems that this should be the symbol of the sea elves.
Sea Elves - Water Elves who swim in the Eternal Sea. Their beautiful singing voices are unmatched (Water Attribute Increase +3)]
The second card depicts a beautiful fish with a crystal clear body. However, unlike ordinary fish, its fins are unusually large, almost the size of a bird's wings. Rhodes was no stranger to this, and he knew that it was a fish called the Crystal Star in the Silver Sea. Occasionally, they can be found in the shallow waters of the main plane, and fishermen will release them immediately if they catch them, and it is rumored that if anyone is attracted by their beautiful form and refuses to let go, they will be swallowed up by the storm on the way back and disappear completely.
[Crystal Star - The light shining under the waves, is the most charming trajectory (Storm Technique, Angry Wave Technique)]
As for the third chapter card, it is a strange creature with a flat spread out with a spiritual light all over its body, as if it has a pair of flat wings, three long tails attached to it, and the two sides of the body are condensed by the light of the soul into a sharp blade-like creature.
[Fantasy Manta Fish - Beautiful, Deadly, and Elegant (All creatures of the same attribute gain +2 attribute boost, restore aura)]
For these two cards, Rod basically swept away, except for the sea elves, the remaining two cards can only be useful in water. But now that there is no sea or river in front of me, there is no point in summoning them. Although elemental creatures, they do not have to be in water to survive like true aquatic creatures. But if they're not in the water, they're almost useless. Rod doesn't take the time to summon these boring things, either. And the following two summons are what Rhodes cares about the most. But when he looked at the other two magic cards, Rod couldn't help but be stunned.
"Huh?"
The creatures depicted on these two cards are not fish or have anything to do with the ocean, on the contrary, their forms are very strange, and the monster on one of the cards looks translucent, it bends down, and its two sharp claws press the stone steps below it, and the chill and water vapor that slowly emanates from its dark blue translucent body can be seen. Behind this strange beast was a long, frozen tail. As for the other card, it is even stranger, it doesn't have a specific form at all, and suddenly it looks like a mirror floating in the air, if it weren't for the tentacles dancing on both sides of this "mirror", I'm afraid it would really just be an ordinary mirror.
[Shadow Beast - Dangerous and Invisible, Like Death (Half-Void Creature Defense Bonus, Water Archery)]
[Shadow of the Phantom Mirror - You are it, it is you (can copy any creature's posture, with phantom attributes, and the ability to copy creatures is halved)]
"Phantom creatures?"
Seeing these introductions, Rhodes couldn't help but be stunned, of course he knew what a phantom creature was, but the question was that the Silver Sea was an extension of the water elemental plane, how could there be phantom creatures inhabiting it? And at this time, Agamell explained to Rod in her voice, which was too flat to be flat.
"The Sea of Silver is a reflection of the water elemental plane, master. Phantoms and mirrors are one of the characteristics of the water element, and because of this, there are many phantom creatures living in the Silver Sea. Water represents the unreal, easy to break and not easy to figure out, and the power to master. Only by seeing through its external illusions can we feel its true strength. ”
"That's right."
Hearing Agapy's introduction, Rhodes nodded, indeed, many spells related to illusion will use things related to the water element, he is not a mage, and he didn't care too much about this aspect before, but now when he heard Agave mention this, he remembered, it seems that this is indeed the case.
And at this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Rod's mind.
"Agapy?"
"Yes, master, what's the matter?"
"You weren't my summon card creatures, but you were still among my card creatures, so that seems right."
"Yes, master, that's not strictly true."
Although he didn't understand why Rhodes would suddenly ask this, Agamell thought about it for a moment and then gave an answer. After getting the answer, Rod raised his eyebrows, and then a look full of confidence flashed through his eyes.
"Very well, it looks like this time our trouble is not as big as we thought."
Saying this, Rhodes raised his right hand, and this time, what appeared in his hand was the illusion key from the undead legion before.
"Next, it's time to welcome our new friends."
Then, Rod spoke. (To be continued......)
