“No need to apologize to me, Ronin. Actually, I had the same thought as you when I first arrived, but I later dismissed the idea,” Rhodes said with a smile.
Rhodes didn't elaborate on the deeper aspects, since he was carrying out a mission to the Soul of Azeroth and had to travel to the Twisting Nether.
"Lord Rhodes, I am very sorry. When we transmigrated, we were stripped of a large amount of power for some reason, and we have not yet recovered it."
Luo Ning is in a slightly better situation; I'm just an ordinary mage now.
"I can't transform into a dragon, and I've even lost my memories of the War of the Ancients." Krasus explained the current situation to Rhodes.
"It's alright, I've already made all the arrangements, and there's not much of a problem. The allied forces are already engaged in some fierce battles with the Queen's army and the demon legion."
"The ancient war will break out soon, and the timing of your arrival is perfect. I need you two to help me with something," Rhodes said with a slight smile.
Just when I was feeling sleepy, someone brought me a pillow. Archimonde would soon be summoned. Rhodes planned to participate in the war as a demigod of the wilderness, but he needed an identity. Rhodes planned to use the art of disguise to make Rhonin and Krasus look like him and leave them in Azshara's palace to provide cover, while he himself would change his appearance.
Using only spells powered by nature, they went to the front lines to kill Archimonde and severely cripple the Burning Legion.
"Lord Rhodes, is there anything we can do to help you?"
"Next, I need the two of you to impersonate me for a while."
A big question mark appeared above their heads.
Chapter 376 Escape from the Cicada's Shell, Rhodes' Dragonman Mode
What's going on? What do you mean by "they're impersonating"? Could they possibly impersonate Rhodes?
“I don’t understand what you mean, Lord Rhodes. Your strength is immense, how could we possibly impersonate you? Besides, ordinary illusions and disguises wouldn’t fool those high-ranking High Elf mages,” Rhodes said.
What a joke! Although his magical abilities are not bad, they are worlds apart from Rhodes'. There is a qualitative difference in their strength.
To put it bluntly, even ordinary guardian dragons are no match for Rhodes, and even demigods like Archimonde have died at Rhodes's hands.
Krasus, standing to the side, nodded in deep agreement. More importantly, even if he, as the guardian dragon, could regain his dragon form and cast dragon magic.
Even if they used illusions to disguise themselves, they couldn't fool these Highborne mages. Ten thousand years ago, during the Night Elf Empire, the Highborne's magical abilities had advanced to an unimaginable level.
To put it bluntly, the future Dalaran is nothing compared to the Night Elf Empire of this era.
The two sides are not even in the same league; under these circumstances, they don't even have the right to fight to the death.
“I have been operating on this timeline for over a year. Sargeras sees me as a special talent, and Queen Azshara trusts me greatly—which is certainly an advantage, but it also means that I am under the most stringent surveillance at all times.”
"Surveillance?" Luo Ning subconsciously looked around.
"An invisible surveillance, but don't worry, the place where we're talking is absolutely safe," Rhodes said in a deep voice.
"They are several fear demons, which is why I need to slip away unnoticed."
"I understand your concerns. Ordinary illusions certainly won't fool an old fox like Xavius, nor will they escape the demon's fel senses. But the 'disguise' I'm talking about isn't just simple shapeshifting," Rhodes said confidently.
Just kidding, my disguise technique is beyond the detection of those high elf mages. Rhodes has already tested this. He secretly used the disguise technique before. This magical spell can transform him into any creature he has ever seen. Rhodes has transformed into all sorts of servants, as well as those high elf mages.
Without exception, no matter where they went, they were never discovered by anyone; this spell had endless uses.
Moreover, it's not some profound magic; Rhodes can perfectly deceive everyone by simply casting it.
“I will use a special magic called the Disguise Technique to disguise your aura and appearance. I can assure you, as long as you have this spell on you, you will absolutely not be discovered,” Rhodes said with a smile.
"This method does work, but what if we encounter some battles or some people with ulterior motives trying to test us?"
"Lord Rhodes, although I am skilled in spellcasting, my magic is no match for yours." Rhodes raised another concern.
Rhodes is extremely powerful and skilled in all kinds of spells, especially holy light spells, which cannot be copied.
"Don't worry, since you've decided to pledge allegiance to Sargeras, I won't be using Holy Light spells for now. Instead, I can teach you a Magic Arrow, as well as a few low-level spells like Attack Speed, Protective Shield, and Stone Skin."
In addition, I will teach you some Holy Light spells; don't worry, you'll be able to learn them.
"After you learn these spells, you'll have no problem hiding yourselves normally," Rhodes said.
After Rhodes' life level was promoted to demigod level, he also discovered some wonderful things. It seemed that he could pass on some of the level 1 and level 2 magic he had learned to others, just like Anvina.
This is a special right of demigods: they can teach others spells that they have understood and perfectly mastered. The power of the magic arrow is indeed very strong.
Although Luo Ning's current strength is not much, it is not little either. At least, he can still kill some low-level mages by using the Magic Arrow skill.
Moreover, Rhodes doesn't use the power of Holy Light all the time, and since he keeps a low profile, no one would bother him for no reason. Xavius is currently busy opening a portal to summon Archimonde.
"Lord Rhodes, thank you very much for teaching Lord Krasus and me magic, but I still feel a little uneasy. If we are exposed, everything will be terrible." Rhodes was still somewhat worried.
"I have another insurance policy. I will set up a teleportation spell on both of you. If any unexpected situation occurs, I will use this teleportation spell to switch places with you."
"The Allied Forces know my real identity, so I don't need to use a double. As long as you guys don't give it away, it'll be fine." Rhodes threw out another piece of insurance.
Rhodes is now a master of teleportation spells. If he wanted to, there was no place in Azeroth that he couldn't go, as long as he had been there before and could obtain the spell coordinates.
“Lord Rhodes, since things have come to this point, it would be rude of us to refuse. For the War of the Ancients, for the protection of Azeroth, we are willing to help you, but may I know your plans?” Krasus asked, standing to the side.
Although the memories of the War of the Ancients have been lost, according to some records among the dragons, the key to this battle was that Illidan destroyed the portal to the Well of Eternity.
So what role did Rhodes play in all of this? And strangely enough, there's nothing about Rhodes in the future.
It seems that very few people know of Rhodes' existence, but given his current status and position, the Night Elves cannot possibly fail to include him in their history books.
"No need for further words or questions, Lord Krasus. There is another you in this world. If you have time, you can go and meet him."
"We must now carry out this plan. I will first teach you some of the Titan-level magic I use," Rhodes said.
"We understand, Lord Rhodes. We entrust everything to you. We will do our utmost to cooperate with you," Rhonin and Krasus said with a helpless sigh.
The rest was much simpler. Rhode used his special ability to transfer magic to the two of them through the Heroes of Might and Magic spellbook. All of these were level 1 spells. In addition to these level 1 spells, Rhode also taught them a few holy light spells, which he had developed himself.
For example, summoning a miniature version of the Holy Giant, only five or six meters tall, can envelop oneself.
Rhode did not use the power of holy light to drive these spells, such as summoning holy light elements and summoning holy light weapons to attack, but rather the power of the spellbook.
This led to a very strange phenomenon: Rhonin and Krasus did not believe in the Holy Light at all, but with Rhodes' help, they actually learned these Holy Light spells.
"This is truly incredible, Lord Rhodes. So it turns out that Holy Light spells can actually be cast using the power of magic. My magic power can actually be converted into Holy Light energy." After learning Rhodes' Holy Light spells, Ronning was full of amazement. He really didn't expect that Rhodes would let him control the power of Holy Light in this way.
“It’s truly amazing, such an imaginative idea, Lord Rhodes. You’ve actually come up with a way to allow us mages to control the Holy Light.”
"It's just superficial holy light. Your holy light originates from me; I am the source of your holy light," Rhodes said with a smile.
He could indeed enable these two to master Holy Light magic, but he could also disable it at any time. Holy Light magic requires a source; ordinary priests and paladins can only use Holy Light magic based on their own faith. Once their faith collapses, Holy Light magic can no longer be used.
Alternatively, one could use special methods to strip away the connection to and power of the Holy Light, just like the Ashbringer, the first paladin Tirion Fordring.
The source of their holy light comes from Rhodes himself. Rhodes' current situation is similar to that of a Naaru who has always possessed the ultimate holy light energy. He is also a demigod-level being, so he can share a portion of his holy light power.
This is similar to how blood elves create blood knights, but unlike blood knights, these two are endowed with the power of holy light by themselves, and they can take it back if they want.
“Lord Rhodes, can others learn this spell? I mean, can other mages in Dalaran receive the power of the Holy Light? As you know, the Holy Light has excellent healing effects. If we mages could receive the protection of the Holy Light, that would be perfect,” Rhodes said.
"I'm sorry, Archmage Ronin, the reason you are able to use Holy Light is because of me. I shared a portion of my Holy Light with you. When I take back this portion of Holy Light, you will lose this power, and you will also be unable to pass this spell on to others."
"Unless you are willing to give up the arcane arts you have learned, you will not be able to obtain the power of the Holy Light. This is just my energy; you only have the right to use it," Rhodes said, shaking his head.
Perhaps I could use the water from the Well of Eternity, along with its powerful Holy Light energy, to create a Holy Light Spring, which could then serve as a source of Holy Light energy. This would allow other professions to practice the power of Holy Light in combat. However, doing so doesn't seem to offer me any real benefit!
Wouldn't it be better to use this Holy Light to transform my troops and fight the Naaru? Why increase their followers?
"This is already quite remarkable, Lord Rhodes."
Over the next few days, the two gradually regained their strength, and with the help of Rhodes's nature magic healing spells, they slowly recovered their power. Although Krasus was still unable to transform into a dragon, he could now unleash the power of a top-tier mage without any problems.
Rhonin and Krasus were also disguised by Rhodes, while Archmage Rhodes himself transformed into an ordinary night elf servant, showing the two around the palace, explaining things to be careful about, and introducing them to some palace maids who knew Rhodes.
"I'm leaving soon. You can announce to the public that you're going into seclusion to research magic. Unless absolutely necessary, don't come out."
"If there's any emergency, you can notify me directly, and I'll leave this special unit here with you." Before leaving, Rhode left each of them a magical elemental. With their own unit by their side, Rhode could check on their status through the system at any time and communicate with them remotely.
As soon as his troops issue an alarm, Rhode will immediately use teleportation magic to return.
"Rest assured, Lord Rhodes, for the sake of Azeroth." The two nodded and waved goodbye to Rhodes.
Next, the two of them will each assume the identity of Rhodes, claiming to be in seclusion, not seeing any guests, and minimizing contact with the outside world. However, at crucial moments, they will still meet with these maids and Highborne mages to make everyone believe that Rhodes has always been there.
After settling things here, Rhodes immediately used a teleportation spell to arrive at the encampment of the demigod Cenarius's allied forces.
By this time, a large number of night elves had gathered here. The Burning Legion's invasion was no longer a secret. Recently, a large number of demons had descended, and the world legion had begun to make its public appearance.
The Highborne elves called this a blessing, a sign of a great and true God who would lead their race to a collective ascension. But most of the common night elves knew it was nothing but a demon's lie.
At the call of the Temple of the Moon, nearly 90% of the common people chose to join the alliance, and even some of the Highborne elves chose to join as well.
There is no benefit to colluding with the Burning Legion.
The once tranquil foothills and woodlands have now been transformed into a massive military camp, with tens of thousands of tents scattered like mushrooms after the rain across the hillsides and forest clearings. Smoke from the campfires rises in the twilight, forming a hazy mist.
Just then, a group of wilderness demigods also saw Rhodes suddenly appear. At this time, Rhodes did not use his mortal appearance, but transformed into a half-dragon human with blue dragon scales all over his body, a pair of dragon horns on his head, and a height of more than 5 meters.
This is a new form that Rhodes developed after mastering the power of a demigod: a half-dragon. Parts of his body have been transformed into beasts, possessing a dragon's tail, scales, and claws, and his appearance has also changed to that of a dragon's head.
In this state, even those familiar with Rhodes would never recognize him, let alone associate this powerful demigod of the wilderness with a human mage.
Rhodes' appearance in this manner even surprised the demigods of the wilderness for a moment, but they recognized Rhodes' aura and naturally knew who he was.
"Wow, Rhodes, you actually appeared as a half-human, half-beast in this form."
"To be precise, it should be called the Dragon-Man state."
Chapter 377 Meeting the Allied Forces, the Ultimate Move Thunderous Eight Trigrams!
Rhodes' arrival in the allied camp established by Cenarius as a half-dragon immediately caused quite a stir.
Its five-meter-tall body is covered with fine and tough blue dragon scales, which shimmer with a metallic luster in the light of the campfire.
His long, powerful dragon tail swayed gently behind him to maintain his balance. What was most striking was his majestic dragon head. When his amber vertical pupils swept across the camp, they carried the indifference and power unique to a demigod of the wilderness, looking down upon all living beings.
The heavy spiked mace, four meters long and covered with menacing spikes, was casually rested on the ground in his hand, yet it caused the ground to sink slightly.
That's right, the weapon Rhodes is currently wielding is a giant spiked club, which he crafted himself in his spare time.
After becoming a demigod, his control over fire reached perfection. He then forged some anti-magic metals and a large number of other iron items, scorched them with the powerful flames of the Holy Phoenix, and then quenched them to create this terrifying spiked club.
Now that I've already developed the Dragon Man form, it would be a shame not to imitate Kai-sensei's signature move!
This form, somewhere between a behemoth and a humanoid, retains the power, defense, and some innate abilities of a dragon, such as the potential to breathe dragon breath and an affinity for elemental energy, while also possessing the agility and weapon-wielding convenience of a humanoid. This is precisely Rhode's profound control and experimental development of his life form after ascending to demigod status.
He called it the "Dragon Man Mode".
In this state, Rhode can imbue his weapon with life energy and the elemental power that dragons naturally possess, and then unleash a devastating Thunderous Eight Trigrams attack on his opponent.
