Holy crap, who could I be? I'm a time traveler! Your wild imagination is making me speechless.
Rhodes wanted to deny it outright, but found himself unable to come up with any reason, because after heading to the continent of Kalimdor, Rhodes would only have more good things to offer.
"...Gina, I assure you, I am just a chosen one."
"A mortal burdened with the mission of guardians, my power, whether it be the holy light or the arcane magic I've just learned, was bestowed upon me by the guardians. I borrow their creations and carry out their will, nothing more," Rhodes said.
“You’re lying. I told you not to lie to me anymore. This is Rhodes’ last warning,” Jaina said.
You bastard, still trying to play dumb with me? What Titan Guardian can teleport? You haven't even been to their territory, you've been with me the whole time, where did you get these things from?
You have no chance at all, so there's only one truth: these things are already within you.
“Now that you’ve found out, I won’t hide it anymore. I am actually a real Titan,” Rhodes said after coughing lightly twice.
Since you're willing to let your imagination run wild, then I'll let you imagine even bigger things. Titan Guardians are too low-class; I'll just be a Titan myself.
“................” Jaina.
“You’re asking me to admit it, but you don’t believe me when I tell the truth.”
"Damn it! Don't joke around. The Titans are the legendary creator gods. They are as vast as the world itself! They are the true gods who created this world, wielding the most powerful arcane magic and controlling order. You, how could you possibly be? How could you possibly be?"
“Gina, who said I’m a normal Titan? You probably don’t know that the Pantheon has been wiped out, and Sargeras betrayed everyone.”
"The Titan King Aman'Thul suffered a crushing defeat; all the Titan bodies have been destroyed by Sargeras," Rhodes said, coughing.
You insisted that I pretend, so I'll pretend to be as convincing as possible.
“As you can see, I have the appearance of a human and the soul of a Titan,” Rhodes said with a shrug.
Let me tell you something even more outrageous, do you believe me or not?
"So, you are a being with a human appearance and a Titan's soul?"
"..." Rhodes.
You actually believe what I'm saying that's so outrageous? Damn, this girl's IQ is seriously questionable!
Chapter 76: Dispelling Doubts and Defeating the Final Boss
"No! No, Rhodes, you've tricked me again!" The female mage immediately bristled when she saw Rhodes's expression as if he were looking at an idiot.
That expression was completely deceptive, and the other person actually believed it. What an expression of someone with such low intelligence.
Without a word, Rod opened the skill upgrade menu after reaching level 8, choosing to either improve his advanced earth magic or learn basic air magic.
Although Gao Tu is very powerful, Rhodes doesn't want his skill tree to go astray. Most of his skills have already reached the intermediate level, and now he really needs to learn some air magic, otherwise he won't be able to upgrade any useless skills later!
Moreover, with the advent of lightning, it is even more necessary, especially since air magic can enhance the power of holy light.
With basic air magic, Rhode's use of holy light spells to summon holy light elements will be much more powerful.
After adding the skill points, Rhode decided to continue dealing with the female mage.
“Let me tell you! I used to be sworn brothers with Sargeras, and I even beat up the Void Lord Dimensius in the universe. Do you believe me or not?” Rhodes continued to spout nonsense.
Women can be really imaginative sometimes. If the female mage's fantasy isn't dispelled this time, the girl might actually believe it. And Jaina is known for being unreliable.
So, Rodder used another method to dispel all the girl's doubts in the opposite direction. You want to guess? Then I'll say the most outrageous thing.
"Rhodes, you're kidding me! Sargeras is dead!"
He died at the hands of Aegwynn hundreds of years ago, and his body is still buried in the Tomb of Sargeras. These things are recorded in the Dalaran annals. Jaina rolled her eyes as she stood her staff on the ground.
"Who said that? Let me tell you, the Titan Keeper told me that the Sargeras who descended upon Azeroth was not the real Sargeras."
Although Sargeras is the Demon Lord, he is also a corrupted Titan whose size is as large as a planet. Do you think he might descend upon Northrend, the northernmost point of Azeroth?
The one that descended was merely an avatar possessing a portion of Sargeras's power and soul!
Otherwise, do you think the Guardians could defeat their opponents? The Guardians are indeed very powerful, but they are still at the level of mortals.
"He hasn't yet ascended to the realm of gods, so he's not said to be omnipotent; otherwise, Medivh wouldn't have had his body possessed by Sargeras," Rhodes said.
Sargeras, back then, completely controlled Medivh with only a wisp of his remnant soul, and even allowed the Black Knight to find the Apocalypse Sword, which was then stored in the dungeons of Karazhan. Speaking of which, there are quite a few artifacts in those dungeons!
"Then, did you really say that the Titans have been destroyed by Sargeras? The Pantheon has been completely destroyed?" Jaina asked.
"This is true. The Titan Guardians discovered this long ago. The Pantheon has perished, and all the Titans were killed instantly by Sargeras. At least their physical bodies have been destroyed."
That's why betrayal occurred in Ulduar, because many Titan Keepers were in despair, except for the one who recruited me!
"And all of this was told to me by the Titan Guardians," Rhodes said.
The collective resurrection of Titans in version 7.0 was outrageous enough, but version 8.0 even introduced the Firstborn. Theoretically, the Eternals are on the same level as the Titans, but if you really think their combat power is about the same, then you can only laugh!
“It seems there are many secrets in this world! For a moment just now, I really thought you were the legendary incarnation of a Titan!” Jaina asked.
He has now completely overturned his previous idea, because Rhodes may not actually be a Titan Guardian. If he were, he would never have made such a claim about the Titan himself.
For example, saying things like "instant kill" or "kick the bucket".
“All I can say is that young girls sometimes have unrealistic ideas in their heads, and some bizarre and outlandish thoughts will come to mind. If I were a real Titan, would I come and fight these little monsters with you?” Rhodes said.
Honestly! If we don't dispel this little girl's doubts today, given her personality, who knows when the news that she's a Titan Guardian will spread like wildfire.
The real Titan guardians might not come, but the five-colored dragons will definitely come. Then Rhodes will be completely exposed. After all, there are only so many guardians. Who is your guardian after him?
In the initial version, the five chromatic dragons were on par with the Titan Guardians, and the five chromatic dragon kings were even a level higher!
Because their power was bestowed by the Titans themselves, but in the latest storyline, it's now directly given by the Titan Guardians, which is a direct drop in power.
“But you always manage to produce strange magical artifacts, as well as these powerful Titan creations, which is why I made that guess,” Jaina said.
“Alright then! I promise you that if the Guardian summons me personally next time, I will take you with me so you can meet the Titan Guardian,” Rhodes said.
Once we summon the Titan from Heroes of Might and Magic III, we can have him impersonate the Guardian. Otherwise, it's not very convincing to have a Guardian behind us who has never shown himself.
The only chance to recruit Titans now is to wait for the refugee camp to spawn, but the probability is extremely low. You still have to farm bosses!
That said, since fire element can be transformed into holy light element, I wonder what the effects would be if we could summon archangels in the future and have them learn holy light magic.
Will I directly transform into a Holy Light Angel?
"All the Titan Guardians are made of gold and are giants at least 8 to 10 meters tall."
Moreover, the metal used to forge their bodies was no ordinary material, but genuine Titan Iron!
The Titan Guardians were created by the Titans themselves, and their bodies flow with the Titans' divine power, even the powerful flesh-and-blood curse of the Old Gods.
"It can only affect some mass-produced Titan creations, but none of the Guardians have been affected," Rhodes said.
The Curse of Flesh and Blood? Impressive, right? But which true Titan guardian did it affect, turning them into a being of flesh and blood?
The answer is absolutely not. There were only some weak-willed fools or those who had long harbored rebellious intentions who betrayed the Pantheon. In fact, the latest plot hinted that the Titans weren't exactly good people either.
However, the Titans still have a very good reputation among the people of Azeroth, after all, they were the victors and, in a sense, the human race is actually a degenerate form of the Titans' creations.
That's why Rhodes chose this identity!
“Okay! Let’s go, Rhodes, let’s eliminate the last enemy,” Jaina said.
It seems my guess was completely wrong!
Rhodes is truly lucky to have received the patronage of a Titan Guardian, and this Titan Guardian is likely to be one of the most powerful.
Actually, upon closer reflection, some of my speculations seem to fall apart. The Titan Guardians would never abandon their steel bodies to use a human body.
Because in the eyes of the Guardians of Tan, the Curse of Flesh is a disease, a depravity, and how could a normal person use a body infected with the plague?
After completely dispelling Natasha's doubts, Rod breathed a sigh of relief, and the two continued onward toward the last cell.
A powerful Faceless One is imprisoned here!
Jaina opened the cell door with her staff. Rhode sent three golden golems, four holy light elementals, and ten fire elementals to meet the attack. Rhode then picked up the scroll of lightning and unleashed two lightning strikes.
A gigantic bolt of lightning, like divine punishment, struck down from the sky!
It slammed into the huge faceless monster in front of him. The damage caused by the lightning was extremely obvious. After Rhodes's strength was increased to 5.
With an additional 125 points of damage, plus the original 10 points of damage, a single strike deals a full 135 points of damage. Two lightning strikes can wipe out some low-health level 7 soldiers.
What's more, there are also golden figures, holy light elements, and fire elements!
Even the God-Monster Lord would use his superb speed to harass him, and the giant Faceless One in front of him couldn't even touch Rhodes' body.
The fire element scorched all the surrounding shadow power, leaving the shadow energy nowhere to hide, while the holy light element, under Rhodes's control, directly transformed into a living bomb, rushing towards the giant faceless one and carrying out a suicidal explosive attack!
Rhodes then switched to the Summon Fire Elemental Scroll again, this time summoning five Holy Light Elementals to launch a siege!
They joined the siege, continuously weakening the massive Faceless One before them.
The female mage watched Rhodes' performance from the sidelines, providing support by occasionally casting a couple of ice spells to slow him down.
By this point in the battle, Rhode's mana was almost depleted, so he took out a mana potion he had prepared earlier and drank it down.
First, they performed treatment, repairing the severely damaged body of the golden statue.
Finally, a bolt of lightning successfully ended the life of the giant faceless being in front of him. This faceless being was hit by a total of three bolts of lightning before it finally died; its health bar was quite thick.
Unfortunately, after this giant Faceless One died, it did not leave behind a Shadow Core like the Faceless One General Zarkaz, but disappeared completely. It seems that it was still a notch below Zarkaz in terms of strength.
After defeating the final boss, the long-awaited system notification finally appeared.
[A resounding victory! You have gained XXXX experience points.]
You have acquired the wilderness facility, the Griffin's Treasure House.
This outdoor facility took Rhodes by surprise!
Because of the Griffin Treasure House! This isn't a troop recruitment location.
It's a monster treasure, and the reward inside is called an angel!
Chapter 77 Rewards, Griffin Treasure Hero Battlefield
The Griffin's Treasure House is considered the best treasure house in the wild, because the creature it gives you is called an angel!
Although not the most powerful Archangel with hairy legs among the level 7 soldiers, the lesser angels are still quite strong in combat, and at least dealing with the Ghost Dragon shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The little angel has an attack and defense of 20, while its damage is the same as the archangel's at 50. Its health is 50 points less than the archangel's, reaching 200 health, and its speed is 12.
More importantly, Rhodes had previously had the idea of using holy light to strengthen angels, and now he can perfectly realize it!
