Chapter Twenty-Four: The Vampire IV
Rhodes stared at the vampire not far away. In the process of this observation, Rhodes seemed to have discovered something.
The vampire had just regained his form and immediately rushed towards Rhodes. Surrounded by wounded undead creatures, Rhodes did not let them surround the vampires, but instead faced the vampires himself.
In the middle of the field, the figures of Rhodes and the vampire are intertwined, and the swords and claws constantly collide, making a sound of gold and iron. For a time, Rhodes relied on expert-level swordsmanship, coupled with a good attribute, and was on par with vampires.
As the battle progressed, and his own perception, Rhodes learned the attributes of the vampire in front of him.
Among the third-order creatures, vampires have a balanced set of attributes, whether it is strength, speed, or constitution, there are no obvious weaknesses. In addition to its bat-turning ability and the characteristics of undead creatures, it is generally more focused on survivability and the ability to deal with large groups of low-level enemies, so it can't quickly solve Rhodes with moves alone.
For the current Rhodes, it is still difficult to deal with opponents who focus on a certain attribute, such as vampires and other enemies with balanced attributes, and when none of the attributes enter the elite stage, Rod can rely on expert-level swordsmanship to deal with them.
Although there is a gap in basic attributes, Rhodes' expert-level swordsmanship uses skills to make up for the lack of attributes.
The damage that vampires can inflict, Rhodes also gained some understanding by observing the injuries of undead creatures. Rhodes believed that if a vampire caught him by the neck, he could also kill himself instantly.
Against vampires, Rod's fighting style mainly lies in counterattacking, as well as the control of distance, parrying the vampire's claws through the blade, coupled with flexible dodging, so that the vampire cannot attack himself.
At this time, the effect brought by the expert-level swordsmanship was brought into full play, and with the moves alone, the vampire could not approach Rhodes at all. Instead, Rhodes cut multiple wounds on the vampire's body.
However, at this time, Rod's face did not occupy the ease when he had the upper hand, but was more dignified.
The vampire's combat experience, although not comparable to Rhodes' expert swordsmanship, surpasses all of Rhode's enemies so far.
Whenever Rhodes wanted to attack the vampire's vital point, the vampire could either dodge the past or force his attack on Rhodes directly by relying on his powerful physique attributes.
Naturally, Rhodes would not exchange injuries with vampires, so he could only give up the opportunity to attack.
At the same time, Rhodes also realized that under this way of fighting, each attack of his own could only leave a very shallow wound on the vampire. And the shallow wound left by himself has little effect on the vampire's high physique attributes, but it makes the vampire even more violent.
The undead creatures around are not doing nothing. Under Rod's control, whenever a vampire wants to take Rod's attack and attack Rod, the surrounding undead creatures will immediately step forward.
The walking corpse fends off damage by Rhodes' side, and the corpse wolf takes the opportunity to contain the vampire with his attack.
However, this also made the undead creatures under Rhode's control less and less. Neither the walking corpse nor the ghoul wolf can barely withstand the full force of a vampire's claws.
Watching the undead creatures around him die one by one, Rhodes became anxious, but when he thought of how to deal with vampires, he knew that he still had to wait for an opportunity......
Originally, the vampire only needed two bats to deal with all the undead creatures around him, and then he could directly attack Rhodes. However, due to the fact that the batatization had been used too many times in the tomb beforehand, the number of times it was limited meant that the vampire could only fight with basic attributes.
Gradually, the vampires had more and more wounds, but they were obviously minor wounds that were insignificant, and the characteristics of the undead creatures meant that the vampires would not be weakened by these wounds. The real point of the vampire, Rhodes didn't attack once.
The vampire swung his claw at Rod, who raised the blade of his sword to block the attack. Unexpectedly, the vampire directly turned his grasp into his palm, ignoring the possible damage caused by the blade, grabbing it into his hand, and at the same time swinging his other claw towards Rod.
At this time, except for the corpse wolf king, who was seriously injured by a vampire attack and did not die, there were not many undead creatures left around.
The vampire took a fancy to this, and took advantage of the lack of interference from the undead creatures around him to hit Rhodes with one blow.
The rich combat experience makes the vampire understand that even if the flesh and blood of human beings is superior to themselves in terms of skills, they cannot surpass themselves in terms of physique. As long as you can inflict heavy damage on the human in front of you in this way, you can kill them later.
"Here ......
Rod stared, obviously understanding the vampire's thoughts, but at the same time, it was also the opportunity that Rhodes had been waiting for.
Except for the initial awakening of the corpse wolf and the later lighting of the torch, Rod's mana was never consumed. Rhodes was only able to unleash two spells with the remaining mana.
Rhodes didn't choose a spell related to attributes. Even if he uses magic to temporarily increase his basic attributes, Rhodes can't kill vampires for a short time, not to mention that vampires can also use batatization, and Rhodes doesn't think that vampires will consume all the batting times.
Rhodes opted for a magic arrow that could change the tide of battle. In previous battles, Rhodes understood that even if a magic arrow hit a vampire, it would only deal minor damage if it didn't hit the vital point.
Therefore, the use of magic arrows requires Rhodes to find a good timing.
The weapon in his hand was grabbed by the vampire, and watching the vampire come up with one claw, instead of dodging, Rhodes raised his other hand at the vampire in front of him.
A bright light quickly took shape in Rod's hand. While the vampire was attacking, there was no protection for the body, and the bright light shot at the vampire in front of him.
Magic Arrow!
Vampires have very little vital points. High-level vampires, even if they are decapitated, can continue to fight for a while.
But for a vampire who is only of the third order, he obviously does not have such an ability, and the head is the most important part.
Therefore, in the face of a vampire with an empty door all over his body, the location pointed by Rod's magic arrow was the place that could cause the most damage, the vampire's head.
The vampire grabbed Rhodes' neck with one claw, and the sharp claws had just pierced into it, and was about to rip the flesh out, when Rod's magic arrow also hit the vampire's head!
The spell was cast at close range, causing the vampire's head to be directly pierced by magic arrows, and the blood mist exploded in front of Rod's eyes. The fatal injury made the vampire lose his strength to grab Rod's hand.
The vampire's strong life force means that it does not die even if its head is pierced.
Rod took advantage of the victory to pursue, and was about to stab out with a sword, when the vampire's body cracked, and a large cloud of black mist exploded in front of Rhodes.
