Chapter 20 The Puppet Corpse Witch

After turning over and picking up the other party's cloak, Rhodes saw clearly the true face of the "lich" in front of him. However, in fact, the other party was not a lich, but a dead person. Although the lich was also a dead person, there was still a difference between the two.

At this moment, the girl's body appeared in front of Rhodes. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She looked pretty and cute, as if it was because of long-term malnutrition. At this moment, the girl's face was pale and thin, and her skin was as dark as black and hard. It seemed that she had been dead for a long time. But the strange thing was that she did not rot, but still kept the body intact. At this time, everyone also surrounded her. When she saw the girl in front of her, she was stunned.

"Lord, is this... Lich?"

After a while, Serena asked hesitantly. No wonder she had such a question. Generally speaking, undead creatures have no flesh, and most of them are skin and bones. Except for existences like hatred, they are basically bone-like and are naturally bone-like. It can even be said that as a condensation of magic, the lich itself has completely eliminated the physical body. The stronger demigod lich simply doesn't even want the body, and just run around with a skull. Now, this "lich" is a little pale and thinner, and looks like an ordinary human.

"Did we kill her?"

Frederick also scratched his head with a strange look on his face, and asked with some anxiety that he originally thought the lich was such a terrible monster. Now he saw that it was a human girl, and he felt something was wrong. Faced with Frederick's problem, Rhode shook his head slightly and answered

"No, she has died long ago, it's just her body that fights us."

When he said this, Rhode squatted down, stretched out his hand and tore open the girl's chest. This action made Serena scream, but before she could say anything, she opened her eyes wide and was stunned by everything in front of her. She saw a black crystal inlaid with the girl's chest around the black crystal. Something like a blood vine was deeply rooted in her skin and spreading in all directions. But now, the black crystal was dim, and suddenly she looked like a gray, inconspicuous stone.

“What a pity”

At this moment, Qi Lian also jumped from the other side to Rhode's side. The Fire Element Lord squatted down and poked the girl's stiff cheek with his fingers.

"Ah, it's such a pity that it's already hard and frozen. Master, do you want me to help you warm it up and then give it while it's hot?"

"What a joke, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Hearing Qilian's words, Rhode glanced at her

"At least you have to wash it clean and disinfect it before talking about it."

"It's worthy of being the master, it's just thoughtful"

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense"

Rhode accepted Qi Lian's "praise" calmly and then stood up, frowned and looked at the corpse in front of him with doubts. If Rhode read it correctly, this should be the "puppet corpse witch". This is a technique developed by the Lich. Simply put, it is the Lich that connects his soul with the corpse of the caster through the "life stone" and then acts as a puppet puppet. But if it is just like this, it is not undead creatures to use it.

There are countless evil magics to manipulate. What's special about the "puppet corpse witches" is that they can not only act as "spy" of the lich, but can even inherit and use all the power of the lich in a short period of time. This is almost equivalent to a clone of the lich, and its strength is similar to the original body. However, when the clone is destroyed, the original body will not be damaged because the lich will completely hand over this damage to the soul of the caster himself, and it can retreat quietly.

“It’s so cruel”

Hearing this, Serena couldn't help but frown in disgust and looked at the corpse in front of her.

"Why do those evil undead creatures use this method?"

"Even an undead creature, it is not really immortal, even a lich who has a life box."

Rhode spread his hands and said

"Indeed, if creatures like blood-sucking species and lichs do not defeat their bodies, they will still be resurrected soon. But resurrection will take a process after all, and no matter what, they will be severely damaged in the previous battles. This kind of trauma is at the soul level and cannot be eliminated for a while. The enemy of the undead is not only us. I think you are also very clear. Miss Serena, the struggle for power and profits within the undead creatures has always been very serious. If any lich accidentally falls into trouble and is killed by us, maybe when it uses the power of the life box to resurrect its own acres of three-point land, so they will create the "puppet corpse witch".

Select those victims whose souls fluctuate similar to them as containers, and engrave the life stone on them. In this way, these victims are equivalent to a clone of the Lich. The Lich can manipulate them to exert their power, and even if they encounter attacks and injuries......" Here, Rhode made a gesture, "... Just like before, he can let the soul of the caster himself serve as a shield to block our attack, and he can return to his own body leisurely. In this way, it only sacrifices a puppet at most, but can ensure that its strength will not be damaged. For the undead, this is a good deal."

Speaking of this, Rhode's inner doubts did not decrease, because if he remembered correctly, the appearance of the puppet corpse witch in the game was in the late stage. At that time, both the war angels and players had similar skills that could directly attack and damage the soul, in order to deal with these troublemakers such as Lichs, and the other party was not foolish and let them bully them. In order to avoid direct damage to their souls, this technique of "Puppet corpse witch" was created. This trick also made many players feel very disgusted in the game. Because the puppet corpse witch can have all the power of the lich in a short time, so many times when players team up to go to the dungeon, they will encounter these monsters. Their power is the same as the boss, but they are not as good equipment as the boss. Moreover, each Lich will raise several puppet corpse witches to harass the players along the way, causing the players to suffer and complain. In the eyes of the players, this kind of monster that is difficult to beat, disgusting and not falling is the most annoying.

However, no matter how disgusting it is, it can't compare to the despicable, shameless, sinister and vulgarity of the player. The only weakness of the puppet corpse witch is that when the puppet corpse witch is activated, the soul of the lich must be in the body of the puppet corpse witch. Although the puppet corpse witch has the power of the lich, it does not have the magic and physical resistance of the lich itself. In this process, the lich's body is unconscious. So later, when the player met the puppet corpse witch, he didn't even beat him. A sealed frozen imprisonment and other things threw it over and sealed the lich's consciousness and the puppet corpse witch there, and then sang and advanced all the way to kill directly to the end. If they were lucky, the lich's consciousness had not been able to break through the corpse witch when they arrived at the lich's body. Then it was very easy to deal with a boss who didn't even have consciousness. Even if they were not lucky, they came back to their senses and fought as an ordinary boss. After all, no matter how godly the lich was, it would not be possible to control the puppet corpse witch and fight with the player at the same time.

Thinking of this, Rhode couldn't help but sigh, it was a pity that he had a rich fighting experience with the puppet corpse witch. However, due to time, Rhode never thought that something that should have appeared in the late stage of the war appeared at this time. He just thought that the other party was an ordinary lich. If he had known that this was a puppet corpse witch, he would let Lijie throw it over when he attacked, and then he could slowly clean up now. Then the lich probably noticed his soul acquisition, so he decisively gave up this body, and he also obtained the soul of this body. No wonder the system described it to obtain the "dead soul" rather than the "lich"

But judging from the form of the life stone, the puppet corpse witch now seems to be less mature than it will be in the future. Perhaps this is exactly what happened during the experiment?

Thinking of this, Rhode snorted coldly. If he hadn't expected it was wrong, the inventor of the corpse witch puppet should have been its inventor. This time the other party obviously used this to prove his own experiment. As far as the current situation is concerned, he and others have obviously become the perfect test subject for the other party. But that's fine. The encouraged lich will definitely continue to carry out his puppet corpse witch career. Of course, it didn't know that Rhode had a way to deal with this kind of thing. If this guy continued to work hard, Rhode would not mind giving it a lesson that would be unforgettable for life.

"What should we do now? Mr. Rhode?"

Lijie looked at the corpse in front of her at a loss, and a little embarrassed and uneasy appeared on her face. When she heard her inquiry, Rhode shook her head and temporarily left the thoughts behind her. Then he came to his senses. Then he looked at the people in front of him and said

"Take her with us and we'll go back"

“Take, bring…………?”

Frederick screamed strangely and stared at Rhodes wide.

"But Lord, she... is dead."

“Yes”

Rhode nodded when he heard Frederick's answer

"But sometimes, from the dead we can do nothing less than living people."

Then, he spoke (to be continued...)
