Due to being too close and in addition, to being immersed in the excitement and joy of resurrection.
Nidiket hadn't reacted and was hit by Rennes' attack, the power to shatter everything in the world erupted instantly.
"Nooo!"
The Lich, a powerful undead race known for their magical abilities, their physical defense is not outstanding, and now Nidiket a Lich took this attack without any defense, he let out a roar of unwillingness.
In the next second, the withered body completely shattered, turning into nothingness.
"It worked!"
Seeing this scene, a hint of joy appeared on Rennes' face. That's right, he had intentionally deceived him before. (Scammer get scammed boi.)
He had never believed in the words of this Lich, everything was just to relax the vigilance of this powerful Lich, then find the opportunity and kill him.
It was obvious, his strategy was very successful, and he directly killed the Lich with one blow.
However, Rennes did not relax because of this, although it was his first encounter with a Lich but as the most famous undead creature.
He naturally knew that the Lich race had extremely strong immortality and could be resurrected through the Lich's phylactery.
So as long as the phylactery was not destroyed, the Lich was almost immortal. Understanding this point, Rennes naturally did not believe that the blow just now could completely kill that half god Lich.
And as he expected, several minutes later.
The figure of that half god Lich appeared again, it seemed that because it had died once. The aura on the Lich's body had weakened a lot. Falling from the 28th rank to the 26th rank.
"You damn bug!"
"I will extract your soul, turn it into lamp oil, and burn it for ten thousand years!" (Hmm, I've heard that before…)
Nidiket roared in frustration. He never expected that as a hunter, he would be killed by his prey, It was a great humiliation!
As soon as he finished speaking, Nidiket didn't hesitate to launch an attack. Since deception failed, he had no choice but to forcefully capture Rennes.
Although his body was in a weakened state after resurrection, and most of his power was still needed to suppress God's curse.
But even so, he didn't think that Rennes, who had only reached the 22nd rank, would be his opponent.
"Death Finger!"
A sinister green ray of light condensed from Nidiket's right index finger, it shot towards Rennes.
As a well-known signature magic move of the Lich race, Death Finger has a strong instant death effect on flesh and blood life.
Once hit, even a powerful dragon with strong vitality could be killed in one blow. So facing this extremely dangerous 9th level magic, Rennes didn't dare to resist head-on.
He immediately activated his combat technique and casted the invincible divine shield on himself.
A translucent shield materialized out of thin air, enveloping Rennes. The sinister green ray of light hit the shield and instantly vanished into thin air.
"Solar Explosion!"
After blocking the attack, Rennes immediately launched a counterattack. He activated the 9th level fire magic from the sun fire divine Sword.
In the next second, a super high-pressure fireball emitting infinite heat condensed and took shape, it was like a real miniature sun, it crashed down towards the Lich.
Feeling the terrifying power of this strike, Nidiket immediately used teleportation magic to dodge.
However, it was useless.
Under the world's blessing The Law of karma - attacks always hit, the super high-pressure fireball, resembling a sun, automatically changed direction and continued to crash towards Nidiket.
Seeing this scene, Nidiket also realized that he couldn't dodge this attack, so he prematurely detonated his undead spell.
Boom!
The explosion of the super high-pressure fireball brought a powerful shockwave sweeping in all directions. Deep red flames fell from the sky like raindrops.
In the blink of an eye, this layer of the high tower turned into a purgatory of flames.
However, this had no effect on Rennes and Nidiket at all.
With no hesitation, the two continued to fight. Powerful spells and combat techniques were unleashed one after another, deafening explosions kept resounding.
If this tower wasn't designed to seal and suppress deities with its incredibly strong material, it would have turned to ashes in the aftermath of the attacks long ago.
As the battle went on, the balance of victory gradually tilted in Rennes' favor.
"How is this possible?"
Realizing this. Nidiket, who was previously full of confidence, suddenly looked incredulous. This little guy is only at the 22nd rank.
Why can he contend with him, and even gain the upper hand?
This is too outrageous!
In fact, this is somewhat normal. Although Rennes' rank is lower than this half god lich, he himself is a perfectly ascended half god, and coupled with the four BUG-level world's blessings and the legendary weapon, the Sun fire divine Sword.
His combat power is on par with a normal 26th rank half god. Plus his main law is the Law of Light which is also extremely effective against undead creatures.
As for Nidiket, he was previously outsmarted by Rennes, died once, and is in a weakened state.
In addition, most of his power was needed to suppress the God's curse within his body. So with all these negative conditions stacked up, even if his strength far surpasses Rennes by several ranks, what's the use?
He couldn't fully unleash it at all.
After dozens of minutes, Rennes has completely suppressed Nidiket, if nothing unexpected happens. Within ten minutes, Rennes will be able to kill him again.
By then, Even if this lich resurrects again, his strength probably won't pose a threat to Rennes anymore.
As for resurrecting through Rennes, That's even more of a dream.
Nidiket understood this point too, his heart was also very anxious, this was the resurrection opportunity he had been waiting for over a hundred thousand years, and it was not easy to come by.
If he missed it, he would likely not survive until the next opportunity appeared.
Thinking of this, Nidiket decisively chose to fight to the death, abandoning the suppression of the God's curse within his body.
After releasing most of his own power, Nidiket's combat power skyrocketed, and the tide of battle instantly reversed. Rennes was beaten by Nidiket and couldn't even lift his head.
However, with the two world's blessing protection of the Mirror Flower and Water Moon and the time manipulation, Rennes' tenacity was incredibly strong.
Even if Nidiket's attacks were crazy, it was difficult to take down Rennes in a short period of time.
"Damn! What's the matter with this guy?"
"Why is he so difficult to deal with? Is he a reincarnation of a roach?"
Nidiket's mentality instantly collapsed, he went crazy to the extreme, and his explosive state was simply unsustainable.
As time passed, the God's curse had already begun to erode his soul, and if his soul was completely eroded, his thinking consciousness would also cease to exist, that would be his death sentence!
Time passed little by little, seeing that he still couldn't defeat Rennes, Nidiket decided to make a desperate move and take a risk.
Seizing the opportunity, Nidiket released a 9th level magic called Soul Projection on Rennes, directly projecting his own soul into Rennes' consciousness sea. He was prepared to engage in a soul duel with Rennes and destroy his soul, thus seizing Rennes' body for his own resurrection.
To be honest, if he hadn't been forced into this state, he would never have done this.
Soul duels were extremely dangerous, even though he was extremely skilled in soul magic, he couldn't guarantee that he would come out unscathed.
However, unless he wanted to sit and wait for death.
Otherwise, this method was obviously his only chance now.
