Chapter 258: Secret
The arrival of the ghost dragon instantly solved Rowling's predicament.
Rowling also set her sights on the ghost dragon, trying to find Rod's figure, but she couldn't do so, it seems that Rhodes did not return with the ghost dragon, but still stayed in front of the battle.
Thinking of this, and then looking at the ghost dragon that returned to her and rescued herself, Rowling's heart, in addition to worrying about Rod, also had an indescribable feeling.
On the battlefield, due to the arrival of the ghost dragon and the death of the monster, the black-armored soldiers quickly retreated to the rear, leaving only two to resist the vampire's attacks.
Seeing that the battle was about to end, Rowling looked around as the dragon rushed over to kill the black-armored soldiers, and the centaur leader unleashed healing magic on him. Realizing that she might not be able to help them, Rowling continued to wait.
It didn't take long for Rhodes to end his battle with Sepp and come to Rowling's side.
Through the spiritual imprint, Rhodes learned about what was happening on the battlefield, and although Rod didn't say much about Rowling's battle, he was more satisfied.
If the fight was over, Rhodes might have complimented Rowling, but now was clearly not the time.
Unlike Rowling, who is not keenly observant, Rhodes can have a general understanding of what is happening around him just by relying on the information conveyed by the undead creatures under his hands.
After noticing some anomalies in the city, Rhodes knew that the battle wasn't quite over.
In this regard, in order to further allow Rowling to grow, and also to get an important promotion, Rod needs to take Rowling to solve all this in Valen City.
The centaur leader returned to Rod's side, and his injuries had recovered a lot from the healing magic.
At Rod's beckoning, Rowling rode the centaur leader. Rowling thought that Rod would take her with her, but unlike what Rowling thought, Rhodes came directly to the back of the ghost dragon.
Rhodes didn't explain anything to Rowling, and the ghost dragon soared into the air and flew quickly in one direction in the city.
Following behind the ghost dragon, the centaur leader also began to gallop towards this position, but the distance was significantly widened.
Looking at the Centaur leader in the middle of the attack, Rowling recalled that if she was not mistaken, this direction should be the direction in which the black-armored soldiers had evacuated before, and it was also the location where the monster appeared.
Under the high-speed flight of the ghost dragon, the centaur leader on the ground was left far behind, but this was only temporary. It didn't take long for the ghost dragon to descend directly from the sky and land in front of Rowling's line of sight.
Rowling noticed a lot of noise ahead, not only the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, but also the screams of creatures before they died.
Hearing these voices, Rowling wondered what was going on in front of her.
The ground around him vibrated from time to time from the front, and Rowling could even feel the violently fluctuating magical energy in front of her.
The centaur leader overcame the obstacle in front of him, and it didn't take long for Rowling to take Rowling to where the ghost dragon was. At this time, all the surrounding scenes appeared in Rowling's eyes.
Rowling saw that the location where the house was supposed to be located had now become a large area of ruins. Because of this, the scene under the house is also exposed.
Beneath these houses, the foundations that had been sturdy had been completely hollowed out, leaving only a large area of space. What surprised Rowling even more was that inside these spaces, there were also a large number of corpses of creatures in the city.
The corpses had been lying here for an unknown amount of time, and the level of decay had reached its limit, and even if they weren't close, Rowling could smell a foul odor.
In Rowling's sight, under this huge crater, there are also many monsters composed of corpses, but compared to the two that appeared before, these monsters are extremely immature, either missing parts of their bodies, or they are very easy to collapse, and some are even directly fixed to the bottom of the cave.
Without exception, these monsters fell under the influence of the Nether Dragon's Breath, and along with their corpses, they moved towards the final corruption.
The corpses of the black-armored soldiers were so insignificant compared to these monsters that Rowling didn't even look at them.
After discovering the scene inside the tunnel, Rowling began to understand why Rhodes had brought her here. His purpose in doing this was apparently to find the necromancer who controlled these monsters.
After the Nether Dragon below had almost dispersed, the centaur leader found a relatively gentle path and walked slowly down from the top of the cave towards Rhodes' position in the cave.
Along the way, Rowling did not feel any fear when passing by the corpses around her, and even when she saw the few corpses still crawling by alive maggots, Rowling was only slightly disgusted.
For Rowling, the mentality has grown a lot after the previous battle. The surrounding environment is already difficult to affect Rowling at this time.
Led by the centaur leader, Rowling made her way to the very center of the cavern, where Rhodes was already waiting.
At this point, a faint roar caught Rowling's attention.
Rowling was shocked to see that at Rod's feet, there was a creature upside down, and this creature Rowling was very familiar.
The creature at Rod's feet was the hero Rowling had seen earlier, and even though the hero was in a very bad state at this time, Rowling was still able to recognize his heroism.
At this time, the hero had already had his legs cut off and could only lie on the ground. Due to the healing magic, there was no blood left from the wound on the hero's leg.
Rhodes stood beside the hero with a sword in one hand. And the previous roar was made by this hero.
Rowling didn't expect that the hero who appeared in the original would have become like this at this time, if it weren't for Rowling's perception of his heroic identity, she would even think that he was just an ordinary dead corpse.
After seeing the hero on the ground, a lot of questions suddenly appeared in Rowling's heart, Rowling remembered that this hero should have been killed by Saip's soldiers, why did he appear here again?
As if realizing something, Rowling's face showed a look of disbelief.
An inexplicable conjecture appeared in Rowling's mind, and if this conjecture was correct, then she should have been used by this hero.
Realizing this, Rowling couldn't help but look at Rhodes on the side, but Rhodes didn't say anything, just pointed to the hero on the ground with his left hand and gestured to Rowling.
