"It makes sense to find a specific frequency of energy vibration and then cast a spell."
A young mage couldn't help but ask, "But energy diminishes during propagation, so how can the effectiveness of the spell be guaranteed?"
“Good question.” Rhodes nodded approvingly. “That’s the key point. Look, everyone—”
He cast a small-scale attack acceleration spell, and arcane energy formed a pale blue force field around the mages. The mages within the force field immediately felt incredibly light, their movement speed increased, and even their spellcasting speed improved.
"I didn't directly apply energy; instead, I altered the spacetime curvature within the force field, like throwing a pebble into water, causing ripples to spread naturally."
"So the essence of these spells is...guidance rather than creation?"
“Exactly,” Rhodes smiled. “They consume very little magic; they are mainly used to ‘activate’ a naturally existing physical law.”
Why is my model always unstable?
“Your energy output is too strong. Remember, these spells require precision, not power,” Rhodes began to explain in detail.
He also wanted to see just how good the Highborne elves' magical talents were.
The suppressive power of the Magic Arrow in group battles;
The unique advantages of Stone Skin Body Protection in defensive barriers;
The crucial role of attack acceleration during emergency evacuation...
The High Elf mages had excellent comprehension skills, and they quickly learned the few level 1 spells that Rhode had shown them. However, to achieve the terrifying effects that Rhode had, they needed to improve further, primarily because their magic power was insufficient.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. During these three months, Rhodes had been relatively well-behaved. Apart from communicating with these mages, he would go to Queen Azshara's residence to chat with her, or admire the violet skin of the Vashj at night. He also designed several pieces of lingerie for women before his transmigration, which the night elf maids would try on. It must be said that they had a unique charm.
As usual, Rhodes arrived at Azshara's palace that day to chat with the queen. However, this time, Azshara had a blue magic bottle next to her. Rhodes could clearly sense the powerful energy contained within it, and a thought struck him.
He had obtained water from the Well of Eternity from Illidan before, but it was different from what Azshara had obtained. The water from the Well of Eternity he had obtained before had been preserved for ten thousand years, and some of its power had been lost. This bottle, on the other hand, was clearly something Azshara had just retrieved from the Well of Eternity.
"Now that you've arrived, Lord Rhodes, according to our agreement, I should bestow upon you the waters of the Well of Eternity. Some matters delayed this, but now I'm delivering the waters of the Well of Eternity to you as promised. You can drink them directly," Azshara said with a smile.
She wanted to see if this mysterious, powerful being who claimed to be human could absorb the power of the Well of Eternity.
The night elves were originally a group of dark trolls. Although this history is recorded, the night elf community generally does not accept it because after they came into contact with the energy of eternity and evolved into night elves, they had no connection with that dark past.
After gaining further access to the energy of the Well of Eternity, most of the Highborne elves' appearances and dependence on arcane energy have changed from those of ordinary night elves.
The Well of Eternity can allow a race to evolve. Azshara, let's see what happens if Rhodes drinks the water from the Well of Eternity.
"Your Majesty, do you mean I should drink the water from the Well of Eternity directly?" Rhodes asked, somewhat surprised.
Please, a small bottle of this stuff can create a Sunwell, or rather, it creates a magical energy source at a magical node. But he was also curious about what would happen if an individual consumed the water from the Well of Eternity.
“That’s right, I want to see what happens after you drink the water from the Well of Eternity. Don’t worry, I’ll give you two bottles, and if you serve me well, three or four bottles won’t be a problem,” Azshara said.
The more Rhodes rejected her, the more Azshara wanted to annoy him. There was no way around it; once a woman's competitive spirit was aroused, it was very difficult to suppress.
Rhodes nodded, picked up the water from the Well of Eternity, and drank it down. He figured his body could handle the power of the Well of Eternity.
Chapter 332: 20 attribute points, a major boost, but Holy Light cannot be used.
In an instant, Rhodes felt a terrifying magical power erupt within his body—the pure arcane energy of the Well of Eternity.
Ding-dong! The Hero Invincible System immediately issued a notification that the hero had consumed a large amount of magical energy.
You have received a gift from the planetary god, who bestowed upon you the source of his energy, and your body has undergone a transformative change.
Your knowledge has increased by 5 points, your strength has increased by 5 points, your defense has increased by 5 points, and your attack power has increased by 5 points.
Strength: 20 (+5)
[Knowledge: 25 (+5)]
Attack: 8 (+5)
[Defense: 8 (+5)]
Rhodes had no idea how much time had passed.
However, his strength has indeed increased by at least half, especially his attribute points. His strength and knowledge have increased significantly, and his attack and defense have reached eight. Now, even the peasants in his army will have an attack power increase of 8 points.
Now, the power of my spells will reach an extremely terrifying level, and as my power increases, the power of my holy light will also increase, and my shadow and fel life spells will also be enhanced by this power.
It has to be said that the Well of Eternity provides a huge boost to me. This small bottle of water is incredibly powerful. It looks like I should get a few more bottles and give one to each of my heroes. The effect would be amazing.
“An interesting reaction.” Azshara’s voice pulled him back to reality; the queen had appeared before him without him noticing.
"Your pupils now shimmer with the color of the Well of Eternity... It seems this gift suits you very well; I can sense a significant increase in your strength."
"Thank you for your gift, Queen Azshara. May I ask how long it took me to absorb the Well of Eternity? It feels like a long time has passed." Rhodes nodded to Queen Azshara, then looked around. It was daytime when he arrived, but now it was late at night.
“It took you three whole days to absorb the power of the Well of Eternity, which is already very fast. To be honest, I didn’t expect you to absorb it so smoothly,” Azshara said.
She even considered the risk that Rhodes might not be able to withstand the power of the Well of Eternity, that his body might have a rejection reaction, or that he might even collapse and explode. She would help him in that case.
But the reality was completely beyond Azshara's expectations. Rhodes successfully absorbed the power of the Well of Eternity. He simply sat cross-legged on the ground, his body radiating magical light, without any rejection reaction, and smoothly absorbed the powerful energy of the Well of Eternity.
This left the Queen speechless, her face filled with disbelief. Moreover, Rhodes' body had not changed at all; he had not evolved pointed ears like the night elves, nor had his eyes shone with magical light. He had only increased his own magical power.
Rhodes nodded upon hearing this. Three days is neither a long nor a short time. The fundamental reason why he was able to fully absorb the power of the Well of Eternity was because of the system.
The Heroes of Might and Magic III system was his lifeline; this system successfully helped him absorb power that ordinary people could not withstand.
"Do you feel any discomfort anywhere? For example, is there any change in your body?" Azshara asked after circling around Rhodes.
That shouldn't be the case. Logically, he should at least undergo some subtle changes, even if it's just that his eyes are shining with magical light, like those of elves. That would be acceptable. But there's been no change at all, which is a bit strange. Is it because of his race?
If that's the case, then Azshara is even more curious: what race is Rhodes? (This foreshadows a plot point: the protagonist isn't a human in the traditional sense in Azeroth, because Earth humans and Azeroth humans are completely different. The humans of Azeroth have incredibly strong physical abilities; they are a degeneration of the Vrykul, Titan-created beings.)
"Who knows? Maybe I'm just special!" Rod said with a smile.
“I’m getting more and more curious about you, Rhodes. By the way, there’s something I want to ask you. I’ve been practicing Holy Light recently, but even if you demonstrate it to me and even infuse it into my body, I still can’t use it. Can you tell me why?” Azshara asked.
The reason I called Rhodes over today, besides giving him the Well of Eternity, was also because I couldn't learn the Holy Light.
"The answer is simple, Your Majesty. There are two reasons why you cannot learn the power of Holy Light. The first reason is that you already possess the power of arcane magic."
To put it bluntly, you are the greatest mage of the entire Night Elf race, without exception; your magical power is the strongest in the entire race.
"If you want to learn the power of another system, it will conflict with your own power, so you cannot learn the Holy Light." Rhodes explained the situation to Azshara.
"I think you're playing me, Rhodes. If that's the case, then you shouldn't be able to learn the Holy Light, or even the power of magic. But you've mastered both the Holy Light and magic. I can even sense a considerable amount of life force, shadow, and the power of the true god I've seen within you. Am I right?" Queen Azshara asked, squinting her eyes.
As one of Edolas's most powerful mages, she could clearly sense the state within Rhodes' body. Rhodes possessed mastery over all the powers of Holy Light, Arcane, Life, Shadow, and Fel. (In fact, the protagonist also possesses the power of death, which is an initial attribute of the Heroes of Might and Magic system—the power of Necromancy.)
“My situation is a little different, Your Majesty. It is fundamentally different from yours. The reason I am able to use its power is because I myself have been blessed. An incomparably powerful being has bestowed a blessing upon me, allowing me to wield the power of other Forces,” Rhodes said with a smile.
In the Warcraft universe, if one masters one of the six fundamental forces and cultivates it to an extremely high level, one can actually achieve immortality. The simplest example is that after being transformed into a demon by fel energy, there is basically no lifespan limit. After being infused with the Holy Light, there is also no limitation of the life force. The same is true for the death force. After arriving in the Shadowlands, one will naturally not die.
Most people can only master two Forces at most, such as Holy Light and its opposite Shadow, Fel and Arcane Magic, Life and Death. But Rhodes is different; he has the Heroes of Might and Magic system, so he can wield all six Forces.
"You say you were blessed by a great god, what kind of god is he? How does he compare to Sargeras?" Queen Azshara asked, raising an eyebrow.
I never expected that this kid would be blessed by another god. How powerful is the god that blessed him? Could it be another Titan?
"I don't know either. The one who blessed me is very powerful. He even bestowed upon me some order-type magic, which is what I taught those mages before. Although they can't cast it as well as I can, they can at least simulate it using the magic of Azeroth."
"As for his specific strength, I really can't say, because I've never actually met him, and I don't even know his name." Rhodes gave an ambiguous answer.
Firstly, even when analyzed using the Azerothian system, the magic of Heroes of Might and Magic cannot cast group support magic on thousands or tens of thousands of people at once like Rhodes. At most, it can only cast blessings on a few targets of no more than ten people, increasing their attack and defense speed.
As for the actual system level, you can use your imagination, Your Majesty.
"Understood. After Sargeras arrives, I will also ask him to grant me the ability to use other powers. I don't think he will refuse me," Queen Azshara said confidently.
Recently, with the help of the Well of Eternity, she met with the legendary deity again, who promised her boundless power.
“As for the second reason, Your Majesty, the Holy Light is a power of faith, a form of protection. You must believe in someone, something, an object, or a conviction, and firmly believe that your choice is correct, in order to invoke the Holy Light. Otherwise, you cannot use it,” Rhodes said.
“That’s not necessarily true, Lord Rhodes. We’ve discovered through some experiments that Holy Light can be captured and forcibly injected into the body. As long as we find a suitable prototype of Holy Light, I can do it,” said a High Elf mage standing behind Azshara.
These mages had also come into contact with Rhodes's holy light power. It was a very peculiar power of faith, and it was indeed very difficult to summon. However, if a suitable source of holy light was found, the holy light energy could be extracted and refined from him and then injected into an ordinary person's body, so that they could also cast holy light.
“That is indeed a method, but this holy light is illusory, and the energy source will eventually be depleted. It’s not the same as the Well of Eternity. The power of the Well of Eternity is infinite, but the holy light is not,” Rhodes said, shaking his head.
This mage was already standing here when I came to meet Azshara. Who is this person?
“That’s not necessarily true, Lord Rhodes. Perhaps we can use the water from the Well of Eternity to create a spring at a suitable point where magic converges, and add a large amount of Holy Light. This would create a source of Holy Light, and then a mage could extract this power and infuse it into ordinary night elves, allowing us to use the Holy Light.” The mage standing behind Azshara removed his hood, revealing the face of a middle-aged night elf who looked to be in his forties.
“I must say your idea is indeed imaginative, but it requires a very strong Holy Light power, which I don’t have,” Rhodes said with a shrug.
You've got some serious ideas, kid. Isn't this exactly how I created the Sun Well? You've got some skills.
Chapter 333 Savvis's Provocation, Crushing Victory, and the Holy Light's Myriad Ways to Play
However, creating the Sunwell requires an extremely large amount of Holy Light energy, which Rhode currently lacks. He would need to summon the Archangel of Light, the Phoenix of Holy Fire, and all the Holy Light elements, but these are Rhode's trump cards, and he does not intend to reveal them.
These were his true trump cards, but Rhode was also curious about the High Elf mage in front of him. Who was this person?
"Lord Rhodes, I think this plan still has a chance of success. As long as we find a suitable place and use someone with absolute holy light to make a sacrifice, we can succeed. For example, you would be very suitable." The high elf mage in front of him revealed his greed without any politeness.
By sacrificing Rhodes, a being with powerful Holy Light, one can obtain immense Holy Light energy. Combined with the waters of the Well of Eternity, one's plan can succeed.
"Heh! If you have the ability, you can try and see if you die by my hand or if you sacrifice me?" Rhodes said with a sneer.
I'm not just good with the power of Holy Light. Actually, I just don't use Fel Energy and Shadow Energy, but it's not difficult to simulate them with power. Besides, I just drank the water from the Well of Eternity, which increased my attribute points by 20, greatly boosting my combat power. Fel Energy is very effective against Arcane Energy.
Sargeras was able to defeat all the Titans and destroy their bodies because he used Felstorm. Otherwise, even if Sargeras were incredibly powerful, he wouldn't have been able to wipe out the Titans of the Pantheon in a group fight.
Seeing Rhodes' arrogant attitude, the mage in front of him snorted and his body glowed with arcane light. He was about to fight Rhodes, but Queen Azshara stopped him.
“Things haven’t come to that, Your Majesty Rhodes. This man was just joking with you, wasn’t he, Mage Xavius?” Queen Azshara said.
Upon hearing the name Xavius, Rhodes gave the mage in front of him a meaningful look. So this was the guy. During the War of the Ancients, he was the first to become a collaborator, and later he was turned into the first satyr by Sargeras, the leader of the Burning Legion. He was a night elf infected by fel energy.
He was later transformed by N'Zoth into a monster in the Emerald Nightmare, and in the future Legion expansion, he killed Ysera, the Green Dragon Queen.
It also corrupted the resurrected demigod Cenarius. Although he was defeated by players in the 'Emerald Nightmare' dungeon, he was later sealed in the Rift of Arryn by Malfurion.
This guy's resume is quite frightening. After his two leaders, Sargeras and N'Zoth, were defeated by the players, he was still alive and well. He's the kind of cockroach that's hard to kill. The reason he didn't die is probably because the designers wanted him to continue causing trouble in the future.
“So this is the famous mage Savas. If you would like to spar with me, I would be more than happy to oblige. However, we’d better find another place, otherwise Her Majesty’s palace will be disturbed,” Rhodes said.
Since you're willing to sacrifice yourself, then let's see how strong you are. Moreover, Rhodes sensed that Azshara brought Xavius here today to test his strength. In that case, there's no reason for him to back down.
“Just what I wanted.” A cold glint flashed in Savis’s eyes, and the arcane gem at the tip of his staff began to flash intensely. “Let me experience the methods of this visitor from another world.”
Azshara waved her hand lazily: "Go ahead, just don't damage my garden. Let me see how much the Well of Eternity has boosted you."
The reason I brought Savas here today is to see just how strong Rhodes really is. Savas is one of the strongest mages out there, second only to himself among the top experts.
