Bright red flames erupted, dazzling flashes tearing through the darkness in an instant, and the flames scattered in all directions, spreading out towards the surroundings. With a muffled grunt, a black figure stepped back, dodging the attack of the flames, and with a gloomy face, Collund stretched out his right hand and pressed forward, and soon, darkness surged between the lich's thin fingers like substance, and then rushed like a tide, and in an instant the flames that were shining and burning were extinguished. The space that had been shining with dazzling light fell silent again as if it had been filled with darkness again, until a moment later, when a turquoise light flashed, which once again illuminated the space in front of you. Collund stepped forward and looked at the crystal ball in front of him, his face gloomy, and his dark pupils flashed with a little weirdness and curiosity.

At first glance, this "Night Lich" doesn't look much different from other lichs, and perhaps to humans, the undead look the same, which is not right. As a lich himself, Collund is still a skinny lich, and on the surface, it's hard to believe that he's a veteran lich. Because on the surface of Coolund, you can even see the shriveled and wrinkled skin, with the help of the firelight, the old age spots on it are impressive, if it weren't for the eyes of the black hole that are bubbling with soul fire, I'm afraid anyone would only think of the mage in the dark purple robe in front of him as an old man with a few days to live.

Ordinary lichs are unlikely to have skin and muscles, and after transforming themselves into undead, they almost abandon their old, decaying bodies, while more recent demigod lichs don't even need their bodies. However, Collund is an anomaly, and although it is a great lich, it is very attached to its body, even before transforming itself into a lich. He used alchemy to manipulate his body, which is why it looked similar to a human on the surface. Collund's little hobby once became a little anecdote among dark spellcasters, and some people even ridiculed and ridiculed him that if he was so greedy for flesh, it would be better to become a vampire instead of a lich, and Collund did unexpectedly get close to the vampire after that. This once made him the after-dinner joke of the entire Night Country. However, with the growth of Collund's strength and status, those former ridicules and ridicules have quietly disappeared and disappeared.

"The other party countered my detection spell."

Collund spoke, his hoarse voice echoing in the darkness, and he stared at the crystal ball in front of him, this was no ordinary crystal ball, as Collund's spellcasting prop, it was a very precious thing, but even so. In the battle with the unfathomable opponent just now, it was not able to withstand the opponent's strong strength, and it completely collapsed like this. Not only that, but there was also black smoke all over his body at the moment, and some ornaments that were originally shining with magical brilliance could be seen, but they had also become dim at the moment, and Coolund's tone was calm, but in fact. This lich is not at peace in his heart. Like many spellcasters who "don't do their job", because they put most of their energy into the study of alchemy. Therefore, the strength of Collund itself is only the lower level of the middle level of the legendary, in fact, this is not surprising, because of their characteristics, it is not easy for undead creatures to enter the legendary realm. Because they are not like those who are alive, who have friendship and love. Family affection ——— wrong, because it is a double protection of body and spirit, so if the living fail to break through the legend, then as long as the protection is deserved, they are not without a chance to start over. But the undead are different. They have no physical body, no external barrier, they can only rely on their own soul power to break through, and once they fail......... Then it's gone.

However, one of the advantages of undead creatures is that they are "immortal" after all, as long as they are not hung up under those conspiracies and daggers hidden in the darkness, then they can survive forever, and it is precisely because of this, relying on the accumulation of time, that the Night Kingdom can have so many powerful combat power. Unlike the Continent of Light, even if elves and dwarves can live for a long time, they are legendary powerhouses among human beings, and they can live for a hundred and fifty years before they are completely finished. Therefore, from the perspective of the situation of the entire continent, the strength of the Night Continent is obviously much stronger than that of the Continent of Light, although elves, dwarves, and angels also have a long lifespan, but their weakness is that the number is too small, and it is difficult for these three races to reproduce. The largest number of humans is too fragile to live for a hundred and fifty years, and one hundred and fifty years is just the beginning of many undead creatures.

From this point, it can be seen that the characteristics of undead creatures lie in the accumulation of long periods of time, while the characteristics of humans are characterized by the rapid speed of ascension. Both sides have weaknesses in each other, the weakness of humans is that they can't live for long, and the weakness of undead creatures is that they have too long to become legendary powerhouses. Almost every undead creature that was able to reach the Legendary Realm did not set foot in the realm until they had survived for more than two hundred years. This also means that if all the legendary powerhouses in the Night Nation are dead, it will take at least two hundred years for them to recreate a generation of legendary powerhouses. And in the case of human beings, forty or fifty years is enough.

This is also one of the reasons why Rhodes was able to lead players to sweep through the Night Realm in any game, after they killed those high-level undead, even in the face of the attack of millions of forty or fifty level undead creatures, players who could already step into the legendary realm at that time said that there was not much pressure............ Level suppression or something is the best.,And in terms of the number of people.,They're not less than the undead.,It's faster to level up.,Even in the early stages of the game.,It's only half a year for a leveling freak to go from creating a new number to practicing to sixty full levels.,It's more than a year to get it a little slower.。 Think about the growth rate of players, and compare the upgrade speed of undead creatures——— it is really more people than people, and goods have to be thrown away.........

Collund himself is a perfect argument that before he became a lich, he was just an ordinary human apprentice under a necromancer, but after that, in order to take control of his own destiny, Collund began to work hard. Using his human powers, he had reached the threshold of the legendary realm in just forty years, and finally, in the face of the threat of death, he had turned himself into a lich and escaped the necromancer's grasp. And killed it, and Collund inherited the mage's property, treasures, and power range, which was also the basis for Coolund's growth.

However, in the three hundred years since he became a lich, Collund's deepening of the Ring of Spells has been very slow, according to the player's words, in three hundred years, Collund has only increased from level sixty to sixty-seven——— and only upgraded to seven levels in three hundred years, which is almost a slow and frenzied pace.

However, this is the common rhythm of the undead.

Whether it's a lich. Necromancers, and even vampires, are slow to ascend, and combined with the intrigue and family strife among the undead, some of the geniuses will be killed before they can fully emerge. However, because the undead have enough time to accumulate, their internal friction not only does not weaken the strength of the undead, but instead removes the chaff and filters out more terrifying and powerful characters.

Colund's own strength is not second to none among the lichs. But it is good at refining all kinds of magic items and alchemy potions, which is the real killer move of Collund. It doesn't care about borrowing external forces, and with those magic items, Coolund's strength can also reach the middle to high level of legends, which is also the pride of Coolund. Because the higher the caster's level, the deeper he goes into the spell ring, the less help an external force can bring. Collund's magical equipment was able to give him such a big boost after he entered the Legendary Realm. It does not mean that Colund himself is weak, but it proves his achievements in making magical equipment.

Collund had always been proud of it, but this time, it found that the situation did not seem to be what it had imagined.

It sensed that a mage was spying on itself and its army. Then Collund took action to stop and attack, which is a normal thing, and Coolund is full of confidence in this. Because the detection spell is a very fragile spell, no matter what kind of detection spell, its essence is to project the caster's spiritual power, and the farther the distance, the larger the range, the greater the consumption of spiritual power, but whether it is an undead creature or a living person, there is no endless spiritual power to support, this is like a kite with a line, no matter how high and far it flies, it will be completely broken after a scissors.

But when Collund blocked the opponent's reconnaissance and attacked, it felt the powerful force of the opponent.

The pure, surging and powerful magic was almost like a downpour of rain, and even Collund was a little caught off guard, if it weren't for its extremely quick reaction and immediate activation of the defensive ornaments on its body, I'm afraid that Collund himself would not be able to imagine what he would be like now. But at the same time, this lich is also secretly frightened in his heart, the Holy Soul is above, just a countermeasure transmitted through spiritual power, he can have such a powerful force, so if he and the other party face to face, will he have a chance of winning?

"The other party has a legendary peak mage."

Collund sank down and whispered, it stretched out its hand, and with the lich's movements, the fragments of the broken crystal ball slowly floated into the air, and even the traces of the flames on it could be seen, and Collund stretched out his hands like this, squinted his eyes, and carefully observed the crystal ball in front of him.

"Is it Armond?"

At this moment, beside Collund, a necromancer asked in disbelief, the soul brilliance in its eyes has weakened a lot, obviously, in the previous spell confrontation, this unlucky necromancer did not have as many life-saving props as Collund, resulting in its current strength greatly reduced, but this is not bad, the other two necromancers who assisted Coolund in casting spells have completely turned into a pile of ashes at this moment because their level is too low——— from here it can also be seen how powerful the canary's counter mana is.

"Not Armond."

Collund shook his head, it could feel the power of that pure flame, Armond was not a mage of the flame elemental attribute, so this power could definitely not be his, not only that, but in addition to this, Collund also felt the traces of the wind element, which made it deeply puzzled and puzzled.

"That'........."

And at this moment, a timid voice came from the side, and Colund turned his head, only to see not far away. A young vampire mage wrapped in a black robe was looking at him with some hesitation at the moment, sensing the lich's gaze, the young vampire subconsciously hugged the white cat in his arms, and then spoke.

“……… I, I once heard that under that young lord, there was a spellcaster who had stepped into the realm of legends......... And. In previous battles, she had also made a move. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the soul light in the lich's eyes shook slightly, and it stared at the vampire in front of him, and at this time Collund remembered that the vampire named Schrodinger in front of him had followed him in the previous battle, and then he escaped by chance, and this time he also brought this guy with him just in case. In order to be able to get some information from him, it seems that he made the right choice.

"Really?"

"Yes, yes, sir."

Hearing the lich's inquiry, the young vampire replied in fear.

"When, at that time, Master Simon was about to unleash the pinnacle spell, but the girl's soul body suddenly appeared. Then I saw her reach out, and in this way, she directly destroyed the pinnacle spell that Master Simon was ready to start unleashing............ It was the same back then. The surging, fierce and shining light of the fire almost engulfed everything, and even the Master of Simon himself was seriously injured by it, that ......... That's why I ................"

The latter vampire stammered and didn't continue. However, Colund also understood what he meant, and apparently frightened the vampire by seeing that scene, so he turned around and ran, and thus escaped the catastrophe. Not like Simon and his poor subordinates, they were all annihilated by the other side. Originally, there would have been a heavy penalty for escaping like this, but since this hapless vampire was the highest-ranking survivor, at least he was able to fully describe what had happened, and Schrodinger was able to save his life. If it weren't for the fact that Colund was going to fight in the Land of Atonement Fortress this time, and he needed someone who was familiar with it, I'm afraid that this vampire would have been thrown into the stone prison right now.

It seems that this battle will be difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, the lich narrowed his eyes, a mage at the peak of a legend is different from a warrior, the mage's powerful spell-casting ability determines that they can manipulate the entire battle situation in many cases, and I don't know what the road is, Colund has a vague feeling, that is, the strength of the other party seems to be higher than the peak of the legend——— but where is it, he can't say why, after all, he is only the level of the middle and lower of the legend, and some things are not mastered by himself, and they cannot be understood.

But in addition to this, what worries Collund even more is another report, in which Schrodinger once mentioned that Simon's undead army suddenly disappeared, and any legendary powerhouse can imagine that he was being pulled into the Plain of Order, but ............ Able to pull an entire army into the Plain of Order? How much force does this need? Even the Radiant Dragon Soul can't do it.

Thinking of this, Collund couldn't help but feel a little tricky, the Undead Legion had been stationed here for so long, but they still hadn't been able to grasp the detailed information about the other party, and all the scouts he sent had been discovered by the other party, and he didn't know how they did it. And Colund himself lost a precious corpse slave because of this——— when he found out that the young black-haired lord actually tried to imprison his soul, Colund was really scared and his soul flew, if he hadn't given up decisively at that time and turned around and ran, I'm afraid that the commander of this army would have changed now. Because of this, after this, Colund never sent those high-level troops who might be imprisoned by the soul to the front line to investigate, and even the fortress itself, he could only use magic to observe from afar, but the information that could be obtained in this way was naturally extremely limited.

And now, it seems that the other party is not willing to be lonely and intends to fight back............ Still, that's fine.

Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on the lich's face. Then, he turned to look at his men.

"My detection spell has been destroyed, and it won't work for a short time, I suspect that the other party will take the opportunity to send someone to investigate our whereabouts, you immediately strengthen your perimeter and report anything you find."

Saying this, Collund glanced at the empty seat next to him, and a little dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

"Where's Leo?"

"Report to your lordship, they left the camp early in the morning, saying that they were going to complete their mission."

"Hmph."

Hearing this, Collund snorted dissatisfiedly.

He had long been displeased with those lowly dark elves, originally Collund had no good impression of those black skins, if it weren't for Barende's request, he wouldn't have brought this group of dark-skinned degenerates here, although in the Night Kingdom, the status of dark elves is higher than that of humans, but in the eyes of the undead, they are still just slaves and playthings. Collund had long suspected that the dark elves had come here for another purpose, but none of that had anything to do with him.

He still concentrates on his own affairs first.

Rhodes stopped.

He looked around intently, there was hardly a trace of brilliance in the dim woods at this moment, the dark dragon soul sheltered almost all the light in the sky, only the bright red blood moon was still hanging high in the sky, seeing this scene Rhodes really felt a little fantastical, because on the other side, it was the sun shining at the moment, and they had just crossed the dividing line, and they had already come to the eternal dark night. It seems that science is completely insulated from this world.

Bright red, the dim light of blood shone down, and became more blurred in the dark shadows formed by the interlaced and dense dry branches, Rod walked quietly on the snow, his movements were slight and fast, the whole person seemed to slide on the snow, and there was not even a trace of footprints on the white snow behind him, which was not difficult for Rhodes, especially after entering the legendary realm, Rod found that his dexterity was high enough to use the "light skills" such as "stepping on the snow without a trace" anytime and anywhere"That's it.

And Celestina, who was following him, didn't need to worry about this problem, as the black wings spread out behind the girl could tell that she didn't need to touch ———the ground at all.

"In this direction, a little bit further......... Climb over that hill and you'll be there. ”

Rhodes' figure flashed, resting on a rock, and then he raised his head, his sharp gaze piercing through the darkness, and with the help of the information that the canary had told him earlier, he looked at the dead hillside on the other side, where it was desolate and barren, and the snow and gray stone ground intertwined, and at first glance seemed empty. But Rhodes knows that it's not that simple. Even through induction, he had detected the "dead men" lurking under the snow and the magic eye hidden in the dim woods, which also proved that Rhodes had chosen the right path, and they were getting closer and closer to the location of the undead legion.

"It's a nuisance, those low-level undead are just as annoying."

Selestina frowned and snorted dissatisfiedly, the girl crossed her arms, her bright red eyes mixed with obvious dissatisfaction. "What are you going to do? Master? Why don't we just kill it? Isn't that what you're best at? ”

"We ..............."

Rhodes turned his head, and was about to say something to Celestina, who had been holding a straight face to herself along the way, as if she owed her millions of gold coins, when suddenly his expression moved, and then Rod quickly made a few gestures, and seeing Rod's gesture, Selestina nodded slightly, and then dark smoke burst out from her body in an instant, and after a while, the figure of the devil lady disappeared, and Rhodes also slid to the side, completely blending into the shadows between the two trees.

And at this time, several figures suddenly leaped down from the air and quietly came to Rod's vicinity. (To be continued......)
