Chapter 96 Death Sigh
Under the spontaneous rejection of the material world and Roland's continuous purification, the Lich King was finally forced to leave the body of the master.
However, he was not directly expelled from the material world as Roland expected, but was integrated into the Crown of Domination.
At the same time, the Crown of Domination also took back the Shield of Death and concentrated its strength to help the Lich King fight against the rejection of the material world.
After losing the blood-locking effect of the Death-Rejection Shield, the body of the person in charge collapsed instantly.
The person in charge's body had already been severely damaged, and he had undergone undeadization and forced purification in a short period of time. The reason why this fragile body could still hold on was because of the power of the Death Shield.
However, after the Death Shield was withdrawn, he completely collapsed, and his body, which originally looked somewhat human, instantly collapsed into a pool of flesh and blood.
After losing its body, the Crown of Domination still floats in mid-air.
On top of the Crown of Domination, a little man who looks almost exactly like the Lich King is holding an illusory staff.
Although Roland discovered the lich's weakness and expelled the master's body, he did not become angry. Instead, he looked at Roland calmly, waving his staff while resisting the rejection of the material world.
Huge spatial fluctuations erupted in the open space between the Lich King and Roland, and countless spatial cracks appeared in the air.
Then, as if a mirror was broken, the space was torn apart, and a piece of black and red land appeared in front of them. Above this land, densely packed undead were wandering in a disorderly manner.
With the help of the Crown of Domination, the Lich King tore open the world barrier and opened up the channel between the material world and the dark elemental world.
When the passage was opened, the fluctuations in space also attracted their attention, so they all turned their heads and looked over here.
Roland was the only living being present, so naturally they all looked at him.
Although the undead had no interest in Roland, they just glanced at him and ignored him, continuing to walk around aimlessly.
However, the Lich King would not just let the undead go after going to so much trouble to open the passage. He continued to exploit the Crown of Domination and directly controlled the undead near the passage, ordering them to attack Roland to buy time for him.
However, his attempt did not work very well.
Although the Lich King is the first Lich King in this world, theoretically he should be the one who controls the largest number of undead in the material world and has extremely rich experience in manipulation.
But, compared to Roland, the Lich King is still a little bit inferior.
The Lich King has to summon or transform the undead himself to control them. In his lifetime, he has controlled at most 10 or 20 million undead.
As for Roland? When he was a professional in his previous life, in a strategic battle, Roland might have to control tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of undead.
Although because there are too many of them and professional competitions do not allow the use of smart casting and smart assistance, Roland can only perform rough control in legion mode and cannot micro-manage like the Lich King.
However, Roland has played many games and controlled many undead, so practice makes perfect.
Moreover, Roland often had to compete with other liches or necromancers for control of the undead, and had rich experience in competing for control.
As the world's number one lich, the Lich King has never competed with other liches, or even the legendary necromancer, for control of the undead.
Therefore, Roland drew the blessing from the High Priest's Staff and fought with the Lich King for control over the undead. Although Roland was confident that he could gain control, in order to consume the Lich King's power and speed up his exile from the material world, Roland still consciously fought back and forth with the Lich King, giving him false hope.
Since the Lich King had to fight against the rejection of the material world while competing with Roland for control of the undead, he did not have the extra energy to pay attention to Roland.
While pretending to fight the Lich King for control of the undead, Roland also secretly used the Book of Wisdom to send several messages to Hela outside.
Then, in less than a minute, Roland saw from the corner of his eye that some extraordinary materials suddenly and silently appeared around the Lich King.
After Roland and the Lich King struggled for a few more minutes, the Lich King finally gave up the fight for control of the undead after realizing that he would surely fail if the struggle continued.
By the time he gave up, the materials around him were almost ready.
Although there are still some auxiliary materials missing, the main materials are already in place, and the missing auxiliary materials can be completely replaced by blessings.
There is no time left. Once the Lich King withdraws his attention from the undead, he may discover the ritual materials around at any time.
Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, Roland decisively launched the ceremony.
At the moment the ritual was initiated, a horrifying consciousness instantly descended upon the black and red land that connected to the dark elemental world. The spatial channel was instantly reinforced, and then it projected its consciousness here.
After sensing this terrifying consciousness, the Lich King came back to his senses. He was not directly suppressed by this terrifying consciousness like the cultists in the north. On the contrary, he still retained his own consciousness.
He put down his staff and glanced around at the ritual materials. He realized that he had lost the game with Roland.
The little man floating in the Crown of Domination sighed, looked at Roland calmly, and said the second sentence he said to Roland, which was also most likely the last sentence.
"Junior, you are very good. You won, but I haven't lost yet."
After saying this, he drew out the entire power of the Crown of Domination at all costs, and a powerful spell burst out from him.
Legendary Spell—Death's Sigh.
A gray gas flew out from the Crown of Domination, passed through the ceremony directly, and rushed towards Roland.
Gan!
Looking at this legendary spell, Roland was completely stunned.
No, aren’t you a Nine-Ring Lich? How come you know two legendary spells?
It’s fine if he has the Death Shield, but how come he even has the Death Sigh?
This is the Undead spell with the highest single-target lethality. Even a legendary knight would be seriously injured if he took it head-on, not to mention Roland's small body. Not to mention being hit by it, even the slightest aftermath could easily kill Roland.
Faced with the heavy pressure brought by the breath of death, Roland gritted his teeth, tried his best, continuously drew the blessing of the high priest's staff, and forcibly activated the teleportation spell he had prepared.
Although as a legendary spell, the enormous power of Breath of Death will affect the stability of the teleportation spell, but the deviation in teleportation will at most cause time turbulence. In any case, it is better than being killed by the Death Sigh.
