  Chapter 68 Release

At this time, Rhodes is still lurking in the dark because the location of the undead mage has not yet been confirmed observe.

Until now, the undead mage has only used Fire Wall and Fire thaumaturgy. Both spells can be released directly at the target.

Without a precise trajectory, Rhodes couldn't figure out where the undead mage was lurking just by the wave of magic alone. So Rhodes is still watching what's going on on the battlefield.

As the battle progressed, the battlefield fell into a stalemate for a while. Whenever the fire wall dissipates, the two will make up the fire wall at the original position, and there is no other action in apart from this.

In addition to using the slow fa to the ghost, the mayor didn't do anything anymore, just relying on the skeleton warrior to resist the ghost in front. And the undead mage wanted to rely on the four ghosts in front of him to break through the stalemate.

At this point, the advantages of the mayor's combat experience are reflected. At this moment of stalemate, the mayor's skeleton warrior supported the shield and pressed forward, pushing the ghost back toward the rear.

In the face of the impact of the iron shield, because the speed of the ghosts is slowed down, the cooperation between them becomes poor, and they can only be pressed and retreated at this time. And the rear of the ghost is exactly where the fire wall is.

The skeleton warriors gathered in front of the ghosts, trying to force the ghosts into the wall of fire.

Just as the ghost was not far from the wall of fire, a flaming Fireball flew towards the skeleton warrior from behind all the undead creatures.

Fireball went straight through the fire wall and flew towards the back of the fire wall, and the ghosts on the side got the order from the undead mage and avoided Fireball's trajectory accurately.

Fireball passed the ghosts and hit the shield held by a skeleton warrior ahead.

There was only a sound of explosion, and the shield in the hand of the skeleton warrior shattered directly, and the skeleton warrior who was directly hit by the Fireball was blasted away by the fireball, along with the skeleton warrior behind it. Fall together.

Within the range of the Fireball explosion, the Skeleton Warriors took a lot of damage, even with their shields in place. The impact of the Fireball explosion caused the original tight formation of the Skeleton Warriors to be directly scattered.

Because of the need to suppress the ghosts, almost all the skeleton warriors came to the front of the fire wall, so that they could rely on the advantage of numbers to force the ghosts into the inside of the fire wall. In the same way, if it is not for the purpose of suppressing the ghost, even if the undead mage behind it shoots Fireball, it may not be able to achieve such a good effect.

Just after these skeleton warriors fell to the ground, exposing the body that was originally blocked by the shield, these ghosts did not waste such a good opportunity, but immediately shot, the skeleton warrior who would lose the shield protection in an instant kill.

The undead mage achieved sufficient results just by relying on a Fireball that it displayed, and with the offensive of these ghosts, for a time, the mayor's skeleton warriors suffered a lot of losses.

However, this Fireball also exposed the location of the undead mage itself. Following the trajectory of the Fireball, Rhodes found the possible location of the undead mage at a glance.

For Rhodes, the best thing to do at this time is to continue to wait, whether it is the mayor or the undead mage, because the damage spell has already started, in this case, the mana will be Consumes quickly.

Once the mana of mage is exhausted, no matter how powerful spell he has mastered before, in this brief moment, it will undoubtedly lose its original effect, whether it is for undead mage or orthodox For mage, it all applies.

However, Rhodes moved immediately when he saw the fireball shot, lurking in the dark and moving toward the mage's position.

Rhodes knew that if he continued to wait until the skeleton warriors in front of the mansion were cleaned up, the mayor would retreat directly into the mansion. Thaumaturgy, forcibly passing through the fire wall and returning to the mansion, will at most only cause serious injuries.

If Rhodes did not perceive the anomaly from inside the mansion, he would definitely let the mayor retreat into it, but according to the anomaly Rhodes sensed from inside the mansion, it is best to leave the mayor outside the mansion, so, Rhodes must do something.

Rhodes took a short stride in the direction of the undead mage. Suddenly, vampire rushed directly from Rhodes, facing the ghost lurking in the darkness, preparing to launch a sneak attack on Rhodes.

The ghost is also not affected by the darkness. After sensing the lurking Rhodes, it immediately communicates this to the undead mage who controls it, and then uses the dark belt according to the order of the undead mage. Come to the advantage, wait for an opportunistic sneak attack.

Due to the darkness all around, Rhodes could not see the surrounding situation clearly, although it provided Rhodes with the convenience of lurking. In the previous battlefield, it was because of the fire produced by the wall of fire, and it could be seen clearly.

If vampire hadn't been the first to detect the sneak attack of the ghost, and stepped forward to attack the ghost, maybe Rhodes would not be able to detect the abnormality until Rhodes walked to the side of the ghost.

Seeing vampire fighting the ghosts, Rhodes wasn't surprised. Rhodes had anticipated in advance that the undead mage would be surrounded by undead creatures for protection. It's just a little surprising to Rhodes that the undead mage controls so many ghosts.

Including the one he killed earlier, and the ghost that was fighting the skeleton warrior at this time, the undead mage controlled a total of six ghosts.

However, aside from the ghosts, the number of ghosts and walking corpses in this time's attack didn't change much, just the same number as last time.

Rhodes realized that the six ghosts, combined with the horde of undead creatures, were the cost of the undead mage's daring to take on the task.

If it wasn't because of Rhodes' raid last time, one of the ghosts died, plus the ghosts were left for protection, in the case of six ghosts, even with magic, the mayor's skeleton warrior Can't resist for long.

Even so, this undead mage is only at the apprentice level and has not yet reached the level of an official undead mage. Once it reaches the level of official mage, in addition to the undead creatures under his control, the spell he casts will also undergo a qualitative change, not just like it is now.

Rhodes knows that before reaching the fourth rank, mage will not have many self-protected spells, and only a few of the low-level spells can protect themselves, such as ice rings.

The powerful life-saving spell of mage, such as teleportation, is not low in rank, and if you want to learn it from the magic guild, you need to pay a certain price. This kind of price, not only gold coin, but also many other things.

While Rhodes pondered information about the undead mage, vampire was at war with the Wraith.

Both are undead creatures, in the face of vampire's attack, the ghost did not try to dodge, but directly exchanged injuries with vampire.

Due to the dim light, Rhodes couldn't see the situation in the field clearly, but he could vaguely see the dark light flowing from the ghost. When confronted with vampire, the ghost uses its unique recovery ability to limit the vampire.

The ghost in front of him was clearly stronger than the one Rhodes saw at first. Even so, neither the vampire nor the ghost could kill the opponent in a short period of time. Even if they made a full shot, they still couldn't decide the winner in a short period of time due to their good combat experience.

At this point, following the instructions in the Rhodes spiritual imprint, the vampire in battle directly chooses the bat.

As a black fog emerged, the bat flew out from the ghost, but ignored the ghost in front of it, and quickly flew towards the direction where the Fireball was originally shot.

Faced with the sudden change in vampire, the undead mage, who was hiding on the side, also realized this, and quickly issued his own instructions to the ghost.

The ghost did not stay in place, but tried to attack the bats that were scattered around. However, this behavior of the ghost would kill one or two bats at most, and the rest of the bats had already risen to the sky. among.

The bat flies in one direction, and the darkness has no effect on the bat. Not far, under the rapid flight, the bat found the exact location of the undead mage in the dark.

In an instant, the bats seemed to have received some instructions, all gathered towards the location of the undead mage, ready to attack him.

The ghost wants to return to the undead mage to help him deal with the bat in the sky, but is blocked by a blade.

While vampire found the location of the undead mage, Rhodes originally wanted to go up to help, but finally decided to stay here to deal with the ghost in front of him and let vampire face the undead mage alone.

Rhodes remembered that in the previous battle, this undead mage had used the Fire Element spell many times. If nothing else, he should be an undead mage specializing in Fire Element magic.

In the low-level Fire Element magic, there is a lack of large-scale damage spells such as the ice magic ring. The only thing that can be counted is the range spell, and there is only one type of Fireball.

In the previous game, as a high-level mage, Rhodes naturally knew very well about the basic spells of various departments.

So, after judging that the undead mage majored in Fire Element magic, Rhodes directly asked vampire to deal with him. Undead mage has trouble dealing with these bats due to the lack of a large damage spell.

Just as the bats came to the undead mage, many ghosts rushed over and blocked the bats.

Previously, the undead mage received the information from the ghost, and after finding another enemy, it transferred a lot of ghosts back to itself.

In the view of this undead mage, anyway, the way to attack in the field was blocked by the fire wall, and these ghosts could not cross the fire wall to attack the skeleton warriors for a while, which would have any adverse effect on the whole battle situation.

In the center of the battlefield, in addition to a large number of walking corpses, there are still some ghosts, ready to wait for the wall of fire to disappear, and immediately launch an attack on the skeleton warriors, but compared to before, the number of these ghosts is undoubtedly Much less.

Although the undead mage made many ghosts retreat, he did not withdraw all the ghosts on the battlefield. At this time, he still did not forget his main mission.

For a time, many ghosts came to the front of the undead mage and blocked these bats with their bodies.

Different from ordinary undead creatures, ghosts have no flesh and blood. Facing these ghosts, the bat's bite cannot achieve much effect, but they are quickly killed by these ghosts.

After realizing this, the bat quickly moved towards the sky, trying to pass the ghost and attack the undead mage directly behind.

It's just that the undead mage obviously expected this. In order to avoid the bats in the sky, the undead mage asked the spirit general to surround himself and kept changing positions. For a time, bats could only be blocked by these ghosts.

Meanwhile, Rhodes also engages with the Wraith.

As early as when vampire began to bat, Rhodes didn't care about revealing his position, and in order to see the enemies around him, he set the torch in his hand on fire.

At this time, the torch was thrown aside by Rhodes. Although it could not fully illuminate the surroundings, it also provided Rhodes with a vision to deal with the enemy.

Rhodes only felt the power of the ghost before him when he fought the ghost.

Although they are all the same kind of creature, there are also differences in strength between the ghosts. Some ghosts have just ascended from the ghost, but they have just entered the third rank, so their strength is naturally relatively low, while some ghosts are not much worse than the fourth rank. And the ghost that Rhodes is facing is the latter.

Rhodes realized that the undead mage chose to keep the most powerful undead creatures by his side in order to ensure his own safety and prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack on him.

In the face of the ghost in front of him, no matter how Rhodes swings his sword, he will be blocked by one after another, and the attack of the ghost, Rhodes also has no way to resist, he can only move towards all around to dodge, You can't get any advantage for a while.

Rhodes knew that he couldn't defeat the ghost in front of him, not because of the gap in moves, but because of the gap in basic attributes.

In order to improve his spellcasting ability, Rhodes put a lot of attribute points into the knowledge attribute. At this time, in the process of battle, Rhodes' melee attack in the face of a ghost with a higher First Rank than himself. Naturally a little tired.

Once again, the Shade repels Rhodes' attack. Just as the ghost was about to take advantage of the situation to attack Rhodes, Rhodes suddenly raised his hand, and a spell quickly condensed in Rhodes' hands.

With only one creature around, the Wraith, Rhodes chose the Frostbolt that deals the most damage.

The Frostbolt was rapidly shot at the ghost. Because the distance between the two was too close during the battle, the ghost had no way to dodge the direct shot of the Frostbolt.

The ice arrow hit the body of the ghost, and then it exploded, causing a lot of damage to it. At the same time, the entire body of the ghost was covered with a layer of frost.

The ghost figure trembled, taking advantage of this opportunity, Rhodes immediately stepped forward and cut down with a sword, but was blocked again by the ghost.

At this time, due to the damage caused by the Frostbolt, facing Rhodes in front of him, the ghost changed its fighting stance and did not choose to continue to attack, but concentrated on defense, the purpose was to hold Rhodes back , to prevent Rhodes from getting close to the undead mage behind him.

During the battle with the ghost, Rhodes could see the dim-blue rays of light flashing on the ghost's body with the help of the fire from the side, recovering the damage caused by the ice arrow. 's injury. Rhodes knew that procrastination would only be bad for him.

Rhodes found the right moment, and took advantage of the opportunity of the ghost to block his own attack, and once again released a Frostbolt.

This time, the Frostbolt hit the original location again. After being injured by spells one after another, the ghost was undoubtedly severely injured. Taking advantage of the moment when the ghost lost its defense, Rhodes quickly stepped forward, and with a heavy slash, combined with the impact brought by the spell, directly decapitated the ghost.

Perhaps Rhodes can't kill Shade by close combat alone, but under the influence of spell, Shade is no match for Rhodes at all.

Rhodes immediately looked towards the vampire's direction after clearing the ghost in front of him.

Rhodes noticed that the bats lost a lot under the attack of the surrounding ghosts, compared to the ghosts who lost a few.

After a certain number of bats were lost, the bats quickly left these ghosts and gathered at a nearby location.

The undead mage on the side also noticed this and raised his hand, ready to cast spell at any time.

Although they dodged one after another, under the continuous attack of the bat, the undead Mage also had some injuries at this time, but the injury was not serious. The bat just came to him and immediately Killed by a ghost on the side.

Just after the group of bats gathered, the silhouette of vampire just appeared when a Fireball came flying.

In the face of a sudden spell attack, vampire is also aware of the danger in Fireball, so it has to bat again.

As a black fog emerged, Fireball passed through the black fog and hit the ground not far away, blasting a small pit on the ground, sparks flying in all directions.

As soon as the bats emerged from the black fog, they immediately moved towards the sky and flew fast. All bats were like this, and none of them stayed in place.

After getting the signal from Rhodes through the existence of spiritual imprint, vampire understands that its goal is no longer the undead mage.

For the sudden change in the group of bats, the undead mage didn't realize what happened, but only saw Rhodes rushing towards his position with his sword in hand.
