Chapter 161: The Water Element III
After dodging the attack of the water elemental, the bats gather on the shore. As a burst of black mist swept by, the vampire's body reappeared.
When the vampire broke away from the pool, the ice spikes formed on the surface of the water quickly melted and disappeared in an instant.
At this point, the surface of the water was completely calm, and only subtle fluctuations occurred on the surface of the water, which even raised doubts about the existence of living creatures in the pool, if not for the previous battles.
As the vampire attempted to attack the water elemental, Rhodes did not approach the shore, but observed.
Looking at this scene in his eyes, Rod seemed to realize something.
Rhodes knew that the Elven Fountain must be hidden somewhere under the pool, and that in order to obtain the Elven Fountain, he had to kill the water elemental guarding it first.
Although there was only one water elemental here, it was clearly tricky beyond Rhodes's expectations.
In this environment, it is difficult for the undead creatures under Rhodes to do any damage to the water elemental, but the water elemental's spells can easily deal with the surrounding undead creatures.
The most powerful undead creature that Rhodes currently controls is the Bone Dragon, but in this environment, the Bone Dragon is completely unable to come here, and it will not play a role in the battle that Rhodes is facing.
Rhodes realizes that if he wants to defeat the water elemental in front of him, he still needs to rely on his existing strength.
For the Water Elemental, casting a spell does not consume mana, and only needs to wait for itself to recover slightly before it can release the spell again, so the regular mage's attrition tactics are completely meaningless to it.
Rhodes looked at the wounded centaur spirits around him and realized that there might only be one chance to defeat the water elemental.
Thinking of this, Rhodes quickly released death energy in all directions. As Rhodes' mana dropped, the rich energy of death instantly filled all the spaces inside.
The only entrance and exit to the space was the illusionary wall that Rhodes had passed through. Under the effect of this wall, the death energy is all sealed in this space, and not a trace of it escapes.
The purpose of Rhodes' release of death energy is precisely to allow the rest of the undead creatures around him to absorb it and restore the injuries on his body.
Due to the relationship of being an elemental creature, the water elemental who was hiding at the bottom of the pool at this time immediately felt the rich death energy around him, and immediately felt a burst of anger in his heart.
No matter what kind of elemental creatures they are, they have an instinctive aversion to undead creatures. For them, the energy of death is fundamentally different from the energy that makes up their bodies.
At this time, feeling the gathering of death energy, the water element did not continue to hide, but rose directly from the water, and then waved his arm and shot out a large number of ice arrows in the direction of Rhodes again.
Faced with the direct ice arrows, Rhodes did not choose to let the surrounding undead creatures dodge, but let them rush directly towards the position of the water elemental.
Rhodes knew that he could not compare with the water element at all by relying on consumption alone, so he could only attack the water element first while the undead creatures around him still had good combat power.
In the case that the water element occupies the terrain advantage, for Rod at this time, only in this way can he have the opportunity to kill the water element here, otherwise after all the surrounding centaur undead are dead and lose the advantage in the number of undead creatures, Rod can only choose to leave.
Ice arrows slashed through the bodies of these centaur undead, and many centaur undead fell in this charge. But more centaur undead have washed up to the edge of the pool.
In the face of these undead creatures around them, the water elemental repeats its old trick and dives into the water again, only waiting for the surrounding undead creatures to step into the pool, the water element will attack.
During the previous battle, the vampires had fallen into the pool, and Rhodes learned some information about the pool, and he realized that the pool was not deep overall, and that it could only be submerged to half of the centaur's tall body.
The water element also understood Rhodes's intentions, and because of the burst of ice arrows just now, in the face of a large number of undead creatures, the water element did not choose to attack for a while, but continued to lurk underwater.
For a while, although the undead creature stepped into the pool, it could not find any trace of the water element.
Rhodes knew he had to do it quickly. In the face of the water element hidden in the water, the perception of the undead creatures has been greatly limited, and they can only rely on luck to search, and only the centaur leader and the vampire seem to feel something and are looking in the same direction.
In an instant, at Rod's signal, all the centaur undead around him rushed towards this position.
At this moment, a large number of ice spikes suddenly appeared under the water, stabbing at these centaur undead. In the face of the attack launched from the underwater, these centaur undead were completely unable to resist, and a large number of centaur undead died in an instant.
Upon discovering this situation, Rhodes knew that he could not continue to wait, and that he could not deal with the water elemental here by relying solely on these undead creatures around him.
If Rhodes had mastered expert-level water magic, he would only need to cast water thaumaturgy on the undead creatures under his command to gain a certain advantage, but Rhodes did not master this special skill.
It was pitch black all around, and the torch in Rod's hand could only illuminate the position on the water, and Rod had no idea what was going on underwater.
In this environment, Rhodes' perception was greatly limited, and even if he vaguely judged the location of the water element, Rhodes also had no way to attack it.
Therefore, Rhodes can only choose the last way.
Standing on the shore, Rhodes raised his hand and unleashed the Death Ripple with all his might, attacking the water elemental hidden underwater.
Under the impact of Death Ripple, even the water elemental hidden underwater has no way to avoid the damage of Death Ripple.
For Rhodes, using an area spell like Death Ripple to attack a Hydro creature was obviously a bit of a waste of mana. However, Rhodes has no better way to attack, and even though it costs a lot of mana, it can deal a lot of damage to the water elemental.
As the surrounding centaurs slowly died, Rhodes' originally occupied mental attributes were also returned, and the damage of the spells cast by Rhodes was also increased.
Under the successive washes of death ripples, the health of the water elemental dropped rapidly.
Compared to the water elemental's ability to cast spells, its health has obviously become a weakness, and due to the large loss of health in its body, it is difficult for the water element to cast any spells for a while.
