Chapter Seventy-Five: The Dagger Strikes
Rod's arm was driven by the dagger, and the dagger in his hand cut off all the rattans that attacked.
Rod steadied his pace and just tried to control the dagger in his hand, but he only felt a trance in his mind.
Several rattans swung again, and the dagger in Rod's hand swung extremely quickly, and the rattan would be cut off by the dagger before it was about to touch Rod's body.
At this time, although Rod's body was fighting, it was in Rod's consciousness that Rhodes was fighting against the consciousness coming from the dagger.
It wasn't long before the dagger took away Rhodes' pain. Rhodes slashed his arm with a dagger, and although he saw the decrease in health and the outflow of blood, he couldn't feel the pain, so he ignored the danger of the dagger to a certain extent.
It was only then that when Rhodes placed his hopes of defeating the bone vine entirely into the dagger in his hand, the dagger bared its fangs and sent another consciousness into Rod's mind.
At first, this consciousness tells Rhodes how powerful he is, and that as long as Rhodes is willing to completely surrender the consciousness of his body, give up resistance, and let this consciousness control his body, he can defeat any enemy.
At the same time, this consciousness sent various images to Rod's mind, all of which were all used by Rhodes to kill all kinds of powerful enemies. Creatures of all races fell at Rhode's feet because of this dagger, and the picture was vivid.
Seeing this picture in his mind, Rod came to his senses, and the dagger was clearly intended to use this temptation to make him give up resistance and take the initiative to hand over control of his body.
Just as Rod ignored this consciousness and was about to control his body, this consciousness directly collided with Rode's consciousness and snatched control of his body.
What is shown is that the expression on Rod's face is sometimes fanatical, sometimes struggling, but the dagger in his hand is constantly moving, always fighting with the rattan around him.
Although with the control of the dagger, Rhodes' combat ability will be much stronger, but Rhodes knows that once the consciousness in the dagger completely controls his body, he is afraid that it will be difficult for his consciousness to wake up again, and he will eventually die because of the damage caused by the dagger to his body.
Because Rod realized it instantly, he didn't let the consciousness in the dagger continue to invade his mind, and at this time, Rod gradually took back control of his body.
The mayor in the rear was keenly aware that something was wrong with Rod. Because the dagger was so obvious, and Rod's movements were not coordinated at this time, the mayor noticed it at a glance.
Seeing this, Mayor Marew raised his hand, and a spell was applied to Rod.
Originally, Rod suppressed the consciousness of the dagger in his hand a lot, and just as Rod was about to suppress this will, he was affected by the magic of the mayor, and Rod couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The consciousness in the dagger did not let go of this opportunity, and took advantage of the moment when Rod was stunned, and in turn directly suppressed Rode's consciousness and gained control of Rode's body.
In an instant, the red light on the dagger burst out, and the red light extended towards Rod's body. In Rod's mind, the original consciousness was also affected by the dagger, and he was desperate to kill the other creatures around him.
Just as Rod's consciousness tried to bring himself to his senses, under the control of the dagger, Rod's body rushed towards the position where the mayor was.
On the side, the vampire had finished his battification and followed Rhodes in the rear to deal with the attack of the bone vine.
Mayor Mare didn't know if his spell had worked, but watching Rhodes swing the dagger in his hand and quickly cut off the surrounding rattans, Mayor Mare knew that he couldn't wait any longer.
At this time, Rhodes had already advanced some distance forward, and the mayor raised his hand and released two magic arrows.
The surrounding rattans cooperated with the mayor, striking at Rhodes and the vampires.
Rhodes stopped his rushing body, and the dagger in his hand met a magical arrow that was fired. The other magic arrow was blocked by the vampire.
The magic arrow hit the dagger in Rod's hand, producing an explosion, and the impact made Rod's body unstable, but Rod quickly adjusted, swung the dagger, and attacked the surrounding rattans.
Since Rod was already close to the body of the bone vine, the number of rattans around him increased significantly, which made Rod stop his pace and cut the surrounding rattans first.
At this time, most of Rod's consciousness was put into fighting with another force for the control of his body, and the control of his body during the battle was all achieved by the consciousness in the dagger and the instinct of Rod's body.
Because Rhodes has mastered expert-level swordsmanship, he has integrated swordsmanship into his instinct in his body, although Rhodes' consciousness at this time is not controlled, but what is manifested is that Rhodes quickly waved his dagger and cut off the surrounding rattans one by one.
Different from the original Blue Runner Mage, because Rhodes has stronger basic attributes and a series of special skills that are conducive to combat, therefore, under the control of the dagger, Rhodes can fully exert the power of the dagger.
At the same time, instinct allowed Rhodes to sense where the most powerful threat was, and under the effect of the dagger, Rhodes rushed in the direction of the mayor.
Seeing the enemy in front of him cross the rattan and rush in his direction, the mayor raised his hand, and suddenly, the rattan swung a lot faster.
Even if the speed of the rattan whipping increased, but for the current Rod, it still did not play a role, the dagger waved extremely fast in Rod's hand, and between the flashes of red light, none of the rattans could hit Rod, but was directly cut off by Rod.
Rhodes quickly slashed in the direction of the mayor.
Due to the successive slashing of the surrounding rattans, in the middle of the battle, the red light on the dagger was slightly dimmed, and Rhodes suddenly held the dagger and slashed it across his arm.
Blood spilled from Rod's arm, and as the dagger was about to slash through him, Rhodes tried to stop it in his consciousness. But under the control of the dagger, Rod's consciousness didn't play a big role, only making the dagger less damaging to the arm.
At this time, the red light on the dagger burst out, and a red light also appeared in Rod's eyes.
Just after the dagger caused damage to himself again, Rod's consciousness seemed to have weakened a lot, and his body seemed to be completely controlled by the dagger.
Rod slashed a few rattans beside him and rushed towards the mayor's position at the same time, much faster than before.
The dagger flashed beside Rod, and it was no longer the dagger that led Rhode to resist the surrounding rattans, but Rhodes cooperated with the dagger to attack the surrounding rattans together.
At this time, the bone vine stopped attacking Rod, and all the surrounding vines instantly retracted to the side. Controlled by the dagger, Rhodes still rushed towards the mayor in the face of this situation.
Since the mayor has been next to the body of the bone vine, relying on the charge alone, it is difficult for Rod to cross the rattan and come directly to the mayor, if he is in a conscious state, Rod will still think about countermeasures, but at this time, because he is controlled by the dagger, Rod still rushes towards the mayor.
Just when there were only a few steps left between Rhodes and the mayor, all the surrounding rattans instantly struck towards Rhodes, and for a while, the walls around the entire mansion seemed to shake because of this.
The dagger in Rod's hand released a burst of intense red light, and in the face of the rattan that was whipping towards him, Rod swung the dagger quickly, and the red light pulled out an afterimage in front of Rod.
In an instant, the surrounding rattans were scattered all over the ground.
However, the number of rattans on the side of the bone vine body was too much, and even if Rod waved the dagger in his hand at great speed, he would not be able to deal with all the rattans for a while.
A rattan came from Rod's back, and although the dagger wanted to turn around to meet it, there were still a lot of rattans in front of him, and the dagger had to continue to attack the rattan in front of him.
The rattan in the back wrapped around Rod's body, and Rod quickly slashed the dagger and cut it off, but at the same time, there were multiple rattans in front and on the sides of Rod's body, and they whipped at Rod.
Rod tried to use the dagger to cut off the surrounding rattans, but only two rattans were cut, and the other rattans struck Rod with a muffled sound.
Rhodes was repulsed by the force brought out by the rattan, took two steps back and steadied himself. At this time, Rhodes couldn't feel the pain at all, and rushed forward again.
In this situation where rattans are everywhere, even with the control of the dagger, it is difficult for Rhodes to break through the rattans in front of him.
The vampires followed behind Rhodes, and without Rhodes' orders, they had to fight the rattans on their own.
The red light on the dagger dimmed again, and after Rod cut off a rattan, he slashed the dagger across his arm again.
At this time, the mayor also realized that the best way to deal with the enemy in front of him was to consume it like this, because the dagger needs to constantly damage itself in order to exert its power, so as long as it continues to be consumed, the enemy in front of him will die due to excessive blood loss.
In order to hold back the enemy, the mayor of the town did not care about the damage of the bone vine, and asked him to use all means to limit the enemy in front of him.
Rhodes's figure flickered, and around him, there were severed rattans scattered all over the ground.
Under the dagger attack one after another, even if the number of rattans around is still some, it is undoubtedly a lot less than the extremely large number at the beginning.
Seeing that the number of rattans was decreasing, the mayor also used a variety of spells to slow down Rod's pace. Whether it is to improve the attributes of the bone vine, or to release the magic arrow directly at Rod, it is all to drag Rod.
Among them, the sluggish Dafa on Rhodes has never been broken. In order to slow down Rod's speed, the mayor of the town didn't care about these mana.
Blood dripped from Rhodes' front of him, filling the ground beside Rhodes. There was no blood in the bone vine, and the blood on the ground was all flowing from the wound on Rod's arm.
Looking at Rhodes wielding his dagger frantically in front of him, and the blood under his feet, Mayor Mare realized that he might not last long.
Seeing that Rod cut the surrounding rattans again, he rushed towards him. The mayor raised his hand, and in an instant, multiple magical arrows shot towards Rod.
Rod's instinct felt the threat of the magic arrow for the first time, and because there was no conscious control at this time, Rod's perception was more sensitive, and when the mayor's spell just shot, Rod dodged to the side.
On the side, the rest of the rattans waved in front of Rhodes, trying to block Rhodes.
Rod quickly cut off the dagger, and the rattan in front of him suddenly broke, and Rod kept moving, quickly dodging to the side, trying to avoid the magic arrow in front of him.
Due to the close distance with the mayor of the town, coupled with the blocking of the surrounding rattans, even if Rhodes wanted to dodge, he couldn't completely dodge these magic arrows, and in the face of the magic arrows that were shooting at his own speed in front of him, the dagger in Rhodes' hand directly met it.
A magic arrow hit the dagger in Rod's hand, and just as Rhodes stepped back from the impact, the dagger met the magic arrow behind him again.
The dagger blocked a number of magic arrows in a row, and the red light on them was extremely dim, but it did not disappear.
At this time, without paying attention to the surrounding rattans, the dagger slashed directly across Rod's body, and the red light bloomed again.
On the side, a rattan struck Rhodes. As the dagger was slashing through Rod's body, he ignored the rattan that struck him, and Rod was repelled by the rattan.
Rod instantly steadied his footing and slashed back at the vines around him.
At this point, the consciousness in Rod's mind began to struggle frantically, trying to remove the control of the dagger, but it was difficult to do so.
Although the dagger will give Rhodes a powerful boost, once controlled by the dagger, he will use all his life to support the red light on the dagger, and the dagger will help Rhodes kill all enemies around him, and will also take Rhodes's life.
At this point, the bats reappeared in the space here, flying in a dispersed form along the roof of the room, as well as near the surrounding walls, in the direction of Mayor Mare.
After the battle with Rhodes, there are not many rattans left, just enough to deal with Rhodes in front of him.
Although the mayor of the town found the bats in front of him at the first time and asked the rattan to deal with these bats, he only killed a small half of the bats for a while, and the rest of the bats rushed in front of Rhodes, came to the mayor's side first, and rushed straight in front of the mayor.
Seeing this, since there was no suitable spell to deal with these bats, Mayor Mare's step back and came to the main body of the bone vine at the end, wanting to protect himself with the rattan near the main body of the bone vine.
In order to deal with the bats, the rattans around the bone vine body swung rapidly, and the entire mansion shook.
Because in the previous battle, a lot of rattan was cut off by the dagger in Rod's hand, at this time, the few remaining rattans were divided into a lot to deal with the surrounding bats, which gave Rod a lot of opportunities.
Taking advantage of the gap between the rattans, Rhodes swung his dagger and instantly cut off the rattans not far from his body, and at the same time rushed straight into the gap.
At this time, Rod's speed was extremely fast, and I don't know if it was the full play of Rod's own attributes, or the improvement brought by the dagger.
Rod rushed forward a long distance in an instant, and since he was not far from the mayor, at this time, Rod rushed directly to the mayor.
The mayor reacted in time, raised his hand, and unleashed multiple magic arrows at Rhodes, but Rhodes seemed to ignore these magic arrows, and the dagger in his hand stabbed directly at the mayor.
The magic arrow pierced Rod's body in an instant, and Rod's dagger also pierced through the mayor's chest.
