Chapter 47: The Hunt II
Even if he knew that the necromancer in the rear was chasing him, the blue-robed mage had nothing to do, but increased his strength to whip the horse, preparing to rely on the horse's speed to open the distance and throw off the necromancer behind.
The blue-robed mage didn't know how long he had been running. As the distance became farther and farther, even if he was far away from the original location of the merchant group, the premonition of being targeted in the blue-robed mage's heart did not subside, but became stronger.
The blue-robed mage knew that it was this premonition that helped him avoid many crises. The blue-robed mage tried to shake off the necromancer in the rear, but he couldn't succeed. This feeling of being targeted made the blue-robed mage unable to calm down.
At this time, as this premonition became stronger and stronger, the blue-robed mage knew that if he didn't do anything, he could only be tracked all the way by the necromancer in the rear.
However, even knowing the predicament he was in, the blue-robed mage still couldn't think of a solution, and could only hope that the horses under him would continue to speed up, and the night would erase the traces left by him.
For the necromancer who hid on the side of the road and turned to sneak attack the rear, the blue-robed mage didn't think about it like this. The blue-robed mage knew the strength of the enemy in the rear, and if he chose to sneak attack at this time, it was better to fight to the end with the members of the merchant group from the beginning.
The blue-robed mage did not have the will of Yusher, and when he sensed the extreme danger, he thought about how to ensure his own safety. In addition, the space ring that kept all the revenant crystals in the merchant group was taken by the blue-robed mage, and the huge benefits made him unwilling to face danger.
What drove the blue-robed mage to flee was the fear in his heart. Thinking of the merchant group that might have been destroyed, the blue-robed mage mage muttered a few more words in his heart.
"Don't blame me, Yusher, it was you who provoked a powerful enemy and caused death."
After reading these few words, the guilt in the blue-robed mage's heart for fleeing seemed to have eased a lot.
Since they had been fleeing in the woods, the roads were not wide, and it was night, so the surrounding environment made it impossible for the horses to keep up their speed.
The blue-robed mage didn't dare to slow down, but because he had been riding the horse for a while, the horse's physical strength had also been consumed, and the speed was much slower than before.
The blue-robed mage sensed it and found that the original feeling of being targeted had disappeared at this time.
After noticing this, instead of letting his guard down, the blue-robed mage became more vigilant, always paying attention to the surrounding environment.
The previous combat experience made the blue-robed mage understand that this was like the calm before the storm, and he couldn't feel anything on the surface, but in fact, there were dangers around him. Maintaining this vigilance is very draining on the spirit of the blue-robed mage.
At this moment, the blue-robed mage heard the sound of horses' hooves in the woods on the side of his body.
The sound went from far to near, followed by the sound of swaying leaves, and although it was still a little far away, the blue-robed mage realized that the enemy had caught up.
Even though the enemy had already chased after him, the blue-robed mage still didn't understand how the enemy could catch up with him, who was also galloping on horseback.
After running such a long distance, the horses under them will be tired, and the speed will definitely not be as fast as at the beginning. The blue-robed mage didn't understand how the necromancer behind him was driving his horse to catch up with him, and listening to the sound of the horse's hooves, the horse behind was obviously running at full speed......
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, the blue-robed mage instantly realized the reason why the necromancer had caught up with him. The necromancer has transformed the horse under him into an undead creature, and without the limitation of physical strength, he can naturally run all the way to catch up with him.
It turned out that although the deep meditation depleted Rod's mana, over time, Rod's mana was partially restored.
The mana itself is automatically regenerated, which is slower than shallow meditation, and the mana base regeneration rate is 1 point per hour.
By wearing some treasures, or learning the special skill Mystic, as well as some additional bonuses from skills, you can increase the mana that automatically regenerates every hour.
Doing shallow meditation can also speed up the recovery of mana. Since the mana recovery speed increased by shallow meditation is directly proportional to the mana recovery speed of oneself and has nothing to do with the treasure worn, the occult art that can improve mana recovery is an important skill for mages.
At the end of Deep Meditation, Rhodes had 0 mana. Due to the time it took to fight Yusher, coupled with chasing the blue-robed mage in the rear, the passage of time allowed Rod's mana to recover some of its own.
Using the instructions of the spirit imprint, Rhodes had the vampire run all the way to catch up with him, and then killed the vampire's horse, intending to transform it into an undead creature. After killing the horse, Rhodes found that he had 10 XP alive.
Since the horse was a hierarchical creature, in order to have enough mana left to convert it, Rhodes chose to use 1 skill point to learn intermediate spiritualism.
(Intermediate Spiritualism: Through further study of necromancy, you gain a deeper understanding of death.) You can activate the resentment of the deceased, and you begin to value the value of the creature after death. The ability to transform undead creatures is increased, and the mana required to awaken the dead is slightly reduced. )
Changing the worn achievement to [Necromancer], Rod's spiritualism has reached an advanced level. With advanced spiritualism, the mana required to transform undead creatures is worth a certain amount of reduction.
Rhodes managed to use his remaining mana to transform the horse into an undead creature.
However, the transformation of this horse into an undead creature has already consumed Rod's remaining mana. Rhodes was unable to transform the horse he rode into an undead creature as well.
Rhodes was still behind the blue-robed mage in front of him. Since the blue-robed mage only wanted to rely on the speed of the horse to shake off the enemies behind him, through the guidance of the spirit imprint, Rhodes let the vampire ride the transformed undead war horse and chased directly after the blue-robed mage.
Unlike the horses ridden by the blue-robed mages, which would be exhausted from long runs, the undead horses had no physical limitations, and the vampires moved faster than the blue-robed mages in front. That's why, vampires can catch up with the blue-robed mage first.
At this point, the blue-robed mage in front realized that he couldn't get ahead in speed. Looking at the vampire chasing after him, the blue-robed mage raised his hand and began to condense his magic.
An ice arrow shot out quickly, but the target was not the vampire, but the undead warhorse beneath the vampire.
