Chapter 94 Stalemate
Hearing the Lich King's words, Roland also sighed.
Life has been going so smoothly in recent years that Roland has become quite lax, especially after he was promoted to the fourth ring. Roland has no intention of covering up at all.
In addition, the Lich King's appearance was somewhat sudden, and Roland failed to control his expression for a moment, exposing the fact that he knew the Wizard King.
If it were a few years ago, even if Roland recognized the Lich King, he would definitely control his expression and pretend that he didn't know him at all.
Although Roland's expression changed for only a moment when he saw him before he regained his composure, this momentary change could not be hidden from the Wizard King.
Even though he is only a seventh-ring spellcaster now.
Roland invested part of his mental power into the space bracelet, preparing himself for action. At the same time, he also began his final attempt.
He spoke cautiously to the Lich King in front of him.
"Sir, I have only had the honor of seeing your face in ancient books."
The Lich King stared at Roland with his emotionless undead eyes. Behind his eyes, the cold fire of his soul flickered slightly.
Fifth-ring spell—Flame of the Undead.
As the tyrant who transformed all citizens into undead in the countries of Sinnar, the Lich King did not intend to listen to Roland's explanation, but planned to obtain the information himself.
Living people can lie, and the words spoken from their mouths may be lies, but dead people will not.
As a lich, he had the ability to make Roland's corpse speak.
A fourth-ring spellcaster, just kill him easily.
After he took action, Roland had no choice but to fight back.
The moment he took action, Roland took out the high priest's staff from the space bracelet and decisively mobilized the blessing inside the staff.
Sixth-ring spell—Shield of the Dead.
Seventh-level spell—Finger of Death.
After using the Shield of the Dead to resist the Lich King's attack, Roland immediately broke out, using the blessing as a boost, and quickly constructed a powerful single-target killing spell.
Among all the high-level spells that Roland mastered, Finger of Death was among the best in terms of single-target attack spells. It not only had strong attack power, but also had an instant-death effect.
Roland often used it to kill elite monsters in his previous life, and it was quite useful.
Why does Roland, a fourth-level spellcaster, know high-level spells?
There were no spells recorded on the staff in his hand. These two spells were completely constructed by him personally. The staff at most provided most of the power consumption of the spells.
Although the Lich King was somewhat surprised by this, he immediately countered.
The Crown of Domination on his head flashed slightly, and the legendary spell - Death Shield covered him.
With the help of the Death Shield, the Lich King easily withstood Roland's counterattack.
Unlucky.
Looking at the Lich King's appearance, Roland could only curse inwardly.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with what the Lich King did. After all, equipment is meant to be used. If it is not used, why bother making equipment?
However, through the Lich King's actions, with Roland's rich combat experience, he also noticed something awkward and wrong with the Lich King.
Although the Lich King's aura now seemed to be that of a seventh-ring spellcaster, he would not directly use the Death Shield just because of Roland's counterattack. Roland did not think that the Crown of Domination on his head could cast a few more legendary spells.
Is it necessary to waste a legendary spell on him, a fourth-level spellcaster?
While Roland was recalling all the relevant memories about the Lich, he also relied on the blessing to continuously cast spells of higher levels to fight against the Lich King.
At the same time, during the confrontation, Roland also paid some attention to silently observing the Lich King.
Lich is a forbidden reincarnation ritual that achieves immortality through necromancy.
The caster will go through several processes, gradually abandoning his original racial identity. His body will evolve further towards undeadness, and his soul will be sealed into a life box, undergoing a thorough necromancy.
Finally, after everything in the body has been deeply undead, the caster will go through the final reincarnation ceremony and be directly reincarnated into a lich, becoming a new, true undead creature.
Although for most people in this world, what they hear most is the undead.
Many people have never heard of the undead.
However, the undead do exist. They originate from the dark elemental world and are the general term for the native intelligent life forms of the dark elemental world.
Although the population is sparse, almost all of them are immortal. They are just used to living in the dark elemental world and rarely communicate with the material world. Therefore, the material world doesn't know much about the undead.
However, when some newly born liches wrote books in the future to explain the existence of the undead, and when Hela led a dozen undead under her command to the material world, the existence of the undead gradually spread.
In fact, the death-reporting bird is also a reserve of the undead. As long as it is cultivated steadily, the death-reporting bird will become an immortal undead.
Roland frowned, took a step back, and once again drew the blessing from his staff, constructing a seven-ring spell to neutralize the Lich King's attack.
He kept flipping through his memories, always feeling like he seemed to have forgotten something important.
Lich
Roland recalled the Lich players he met in professional competitions and thought over and over again.
The Nine-ring Lich in the third season, the Ice Lich, Shadow Lich, and various Liches specialized in a single element in the fourth season, and the Undying Legendary Lich in the fifth season.
No, these liches are all created by players through their own experiments. If it is the Lich King
Roland flipped his memory back to the first few years before the game was launched.
By the way, there were many problems with traditional Liches in the early stages.
Although most of them are minor problems, there is a fatal weakness that makes the traditional lich particularly unpopular among players.
Since the original lich reincarnation ceremony had not yet undergone technological iteration and upgrading, the traditional lich reincarnation ceremony was completed in the material world.
Therefore, a traditional lich is a dead spirit born in the material world.
However, to the material world, the undead are not a native race of the material world.
Of course, the dark elemental world is a subsidiary sub-plane of the material world, and the undead in the dark elemental world can still move around in the material world.
However, this is not the case for the lich born in the material world. He is an alien that does not belong to the material world, nor to the dark elemental world.
To put it simply, if we regard the material world and the dark elemental world as two countries.
Well, as the special citizens of the Dark Elemental World, only the Dark Elemental World can register the Undead.
Since no undead have ever been born in the material world, there is no practice of registering the undead, and the only standard is the registration of the dark elemental world.
Therefore, the lich who reincarnates in the material world is a stowaway without any household registration.
