  Chapter 69 Fire Thaumaturgy

Rhodes charged towards the undead mage.

The undead mage reacted in time, while controlling the ghost to resist Rhodes' offensive, while paying attention to the bats flying into the sky.

Rhodes swings his sword, killing the nearest ghost.

Looking at the enemies in front of him, Rhodes swung his sword quickly. Since the only undead creatures around are the ghost this, Rhodes did not choose to cast magic.

In this short period of time, Rhodes was killed from the formation surrounded by ghosts. The effect of the expert sword technique was brought to the extreme. There were not many ghosts in front of him that could withstand an attack from Rhodes.

While Rhodes continued to attack the next selected ghost, the undead mage behind him also shot, and he did not want Rhodes to kill his undead creature so easily.

Undead mage saw the opportunity of Rhodes' sword, condensed a Fireball in his hand, and then shot directly at Rhodes.

Although Rhodes is fighting the ghost, the process of the firelight is so conspicuous that Rhodes can notice it even without the Perception bonus from Scouting.

The moment the undead mage cast spell, Rhodes abandoned the opponent in front of him and ducked to the side.

The Fireball brushed past Rhodes and hit the ground not far away. The explosion sounded in Rhodes' ears, but Rhodes was unaffected.

After dodging the Fireball, Rhodes attacked the Ghost again.

It's not like the ghost, because the basic attribute of the ghost is not high, Rhodes can kill it quickly with the sword technique alone. Rhodes can handle even a horde of ghosts in front of him.

Rhodes realized that the undead mage's manipulation of undead creatures was far less refined than the mayor's.

When fighting against the ghosts in front of him, the undead mage did not control it, but let the ghosts fight by instinct. If the mayor came to control the ghosts in front of him, maybe Rhodes would need to cast spells to defeat them.

The mayor can rely on years of accumulation to gradually improve his ability to control undead creatures, but the undead mage who has been in the Academy does not have this opportunity.

At this point, the undead mage controlled the undead creature to resist Rhodes, while continuing to transfer the ghost back to his side.

Rhodes in the battle, knowing that the undead mage will definitely be a little anxious, in order to save his life, maybe he will give up attacking the mayor and transfer the ghost to his side instead.

If the mayor is willing to cooperate with him, he should cast other spells at this time, confine those ghosts in place, and prevent them from returning to support.

Rhodes knew that the mayor had the power to hold back the retreating ghosts. But Rhodes also knew that neither he nor the mayor could trust the other, and both felt the same way.

Thinking of this, Rhodes slowed down to deal with these ghosts, and at the same time, through spiritual imprint, Rhodes sensed the location of the bat.

The undead mage took the initiative to pull some distance to the rear, obviously not wanting to fight with these undead creatures.

Rhodes is also not in a hurry, just concentrates on dealing with the ghosts in front of him. Even if the undead mage has transferred back a lot of ghosts, he still can't stop Rhodes and can only be killed by Rhodes one after another.

At this moment, Rhodes was shocked, as if he had sensed something, and immediately swung his sword to the dark place beside him.

With a muffled sound, Rhodes' blade bounced aside, and then another attack came at Rhodes.

Rhodes swung his sword to block the attack. With the surrounding firelight, Rhodes also saw clearly the enemies in front of him, the two ghosts who were supposed to attack the mayor.

Undead mage saw that the situation was not right, and the strongest ghost under his control was killed. For a time, he directly transferred the two ghosts in front of the battlefield, but the mayor did not stop him.

The undead mage obviously underestimated the strength of Rhodes. Even if he sensed the existence of Rhodes in the first trial, he kept the strongest ghost beside him as a guard, but he didn't expect that he would still be attacked. Rhodes solved it so quickly.

Therefore, upon realizing that he was in great danger, the undead mage immediately tried to recall the ghost.

At the moment when Rhodes was fighting with these two ghosts, the undead mage, who had been observing not far away, also shot, and shot a magic divine arrow at Rhodes.

Rhodes tumbled to one side to dodge, then got up and immediately faced the ghost's attack.

While Rhodes was fighting these undead creatures, the bats that had previously ascended to the sky were completely gone.

The undead mage realized this, but didn't think much about it. He just thought that the bat wanted to give himself a sneak attack, so he sent a few ghosts to his side to strengthen his guard.

And the real situation of this group of bats is completely different from what the undead mage thinks. Under Rhodes' signal, the bat rose to the sky, and then looked towards the direction of the mansion and flew over.

In the sky far away from the ground, a group of bats is flying rapidly. Under the cover of the night, the bats were perfectly integrated into the darkness. No matter which side was on the battlefield, no bats were found in the sky.

Even the sound of flapping its wings was covered up by the crashing sound in front of the mansion and the sound of the burning wall of fire. Neither the undead mage nor the mayor noticed the movement of the group of bats.

Although with the cooperation of vampire, Rhodes can quickly kill the undead mage in front of him, but the situation after that is completely out of Rhodes' control. The mayor in front of the mansion can quickly take over these ghosts, plus a lot of The walking dead, under the control of the mayor, Rhodes is difficult to defeat.

However, Rhodes miscalculated the undead mage's decision.

Undead mage did not notice the mayor's immediate use of spell, and according to the power of his previous Fireball Technique, he could use it many times in a row to defeat the mayor's skeleton warriors. The undead mage only wanted to save mana and let the ghosts clean up the skeleton warriors ahead, which gave the mayor a lot of opportunities.

At this time, the undead mage shifted its main target to himself, and the mayor's side was much easier, and only needed to deal with two ghosts. The mayor can completely retreat into the mansion and wait until Rhodes and the undead mage both sides suffer before coming out to fight.

That's why Rhodes needs to respond. He did not kill the undead mage quickly according to the original plan at first, and instead let the vampire bat transformed into a bat across the battlefield. Taking advantage of the chance that the mayor had not retreated into the mansion, sneak attack the mayor in front of the mansion.

Under the cover of darkness, no one found the bat under the black cloud. The bat crossed the battlefield and came to the top of the mayor's mansion.

At this time, the mayor was still in his original position, holding the torch and commanding the surrounding skeleton warriors to resist the ghosts.

The bat swarms gathered above the mayor's head, and then quickly rushed down, like a black torrent, rushing straight down towards the mayor.

By the light of the surrounding fire, the mayor noticed these bats in the sky, but he was covered with bats before he could make any movement.

The bat was biting wildly on the mayor's body. For a while, the mayor fell to the ground without any resistance.

Several skeleton warriors tried to turn around and attack the bats, but this action caused their formation to be scattered.

Although the number of ghosts in front of the Skeleton Warriors decreased, under the frenzied attacks of the ghosts, coupled with the expiration of the Slow Spell duration at this time, the Skeleton Warriors were quickly killed.

Only at this moment, the mayor who was standing in front of the mansion was killed, and the skeleton warrior suffered a lot.

At this time, the remaining skeleton warriors quickly passed the group of bats on the ground and retreated towards the interior of the mansion as if they had received some order.

After the bat killed the mayor, it ignored the undead creatures around it and flew towards the walking corpses behind the battlefield.

At this time, in front of the battlefield, the undead mage is fighting fiercely with Rhodes. There was a lot of fire scattered on the surrounding ground, dispelling a lot of darkness, but Rhodes did not have many injuries.

When the bat transformed from vampire bats attacked the mayor, the undead mage also began to concentrate on controlling the undead creatures around him, and the pressure that Rhodes had to face increased significantly.

Taking advantage of the two ghosts in front to drag Rhodes, other ghosts around also surrounded Rhodes, relying on their attacks to interfere with Rhodes, and also create opportunities for the ghosts to attack.

Without these two ghosts, Rhodes is not afraid of the encirclement of ghosts, but with these two ghosts leading, the situation is completely different.

Rhodes's main energy was on dealing with the attacks of the two ghosts. Due to the fierce offensive of the ghosts, Rhodes was also difficult to decapitate them. Coupled with the advantage of the number of ghosts, Rhodes could only parry.

For this reason, Rhodes had to use the Frozen Ring, in order to open up the battle.

Just as Rhodes finished releasing the ice magic ring, he was about to attack when the surrounding undead creatures were attacked. On the side, a Fireball flew in time, dispelling the idea of ​​Rhodes.

Rhodes could only dodge to one side. Although the dodging did not take long, it was enough for the surrounding undead creatures to recover from the impact. After recovery, the undead creatures would surround Rhodes again.

Seeing the undead creatures around him encircle him again, Rhodes realizes he can't go on like this.

At this point, Rhodes knew that the mayor had been killed by the vampire through the spiritual imprint in his mind. And vampire has recovered from the bat, in the middle of the battlefield, fighting the two ghosts who are ready to return.

Facing two ordinary ghosts at the same time, vampire has no disadvantage for a while, but it can only drag them, and cannot kill them.

Apart from this, some information came from the spiritual imprint, which made Rhodes aware of some abnormalities.

According to Rhodes' idea, after the mayor is killed, the Skeleton Warrior will fight these ghosts when he loses control. However, the situation does not develop as Rhodes expected, and the Skeleton Warrior disappears at this time. , instead, vampire is holding back the two ghosts.

Although he did not carefully observe the situation on the battlefield, Rhodes did not pay attention to the vampire after quickly understanding the information of vampire through the spiritual imprint, but focused on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

The situation on the battlefield flashed quickly in Rhodes' mind. Since he didn't know what happened on the mayor's side, plus the rest of the undead creatures on the battlefield, all gathered towards him at this time. Rhodes The undead mage needs to be resolved quickly, otherwise it will become more disadvantageous.

Looking at the undead creatures in front of him, Rhodes knew that even if he used magic, he couldn't kill them all in a short time, so he could only forcefully kill the undead mage that controlled them.

Rhodes raised his hand, a magic ring of ice centered on Rhodes, charging all around.

As expected by Rhodes, just after Rhodes released a spell, a red light flashed not far from here, and a magic dive arrow shot towards this side.

Ignoring the surrounding undead creatures that exposed weak spots due to the impact, Rhodes dodged and rushed in the direction of the magic while dodging the magic arrows.

With Rhodes sprinting at full speed, go straight past the ghost blocking the front. Rhodes could also vaguely see the mage, the undead, who had been hiding in the dark, by the light of the surrounding fire.

There are still some ghosts around the undead mage for protection, but the number is small, only a few, most of the ghosts were fighting beside Rhodes before.

At this time, the undead mage also realized Rhodes' thoughts, raised his hand and released a Fireball, and then hurriedly controlled the ghosts who had fought with Rhodes before, and let them pursue Rhodes.

Seeing Fireball shot at him, Rhodes raised his hand and shot a Frostbolt in front of him. The Frostbolt hit Fireball directly in the air, causing an explosion in the middle of the two.

Rhodes just wanted to take this opportunity to rush to the undead mage, but only saw a wall of fire rising not far away.

The undead creatures behind also recovered from the impact of the ice magic ring and began to rush towards Rhodes Rhodes.

Rhodes knew that even if he tried to bypass the wall of fire, he would be blocked by the next wall of fire, and when the time came he could only be caught up by the undead creatures behind him.

Taking advantage of the fire wall blocking the undead mage's sight, Rhodes cast fire thaumaturgy on himself, then looked towards the back of the fire wall and rushed.

In an instant, Rhodes was past the wall of fire. With the protection of thaumaturgy, Rhodes only takes magical damage from the wall of fire.

The fire thaumaturgy seems to have attached a layer of Fire Element magic to the outside of Rhodes' body, blocking part of the damage of the fire wall. More importantly, it makes the black robe on Rhodes' body not affected by the flames. And burn.

The undead mage behind the wall of fire obviously did not expect that the enemy in front of him would directly pass through the wall of fire and come to attack him. He was about to raise his hand and release the magic again, but he saw that an ice arrow had come to him. in front of you.

The undead mage hurriedly ducked to the side, dodging the ice arrow in embarrassment, and just got up, only to find that the ghost beside him was instantly killed.

Using the fire light emitted by the fire wall not far away, the undead mage saw a black shadow with a hood rushing towards him, but due to the surrounding light, the undead mage could only see a clear outline , it is difficult to see the face under the hood.

The undead mage just raised his hand, but only saw a sword light flash past. Then, the consciousness of the undead mage quickly disappeared, and he could not perceive anything.
