Chapter Eighty-Eight: Dark Shelter I

As the black clouds spread farther around, darkness gradually enveloped the surroundings, minimizing the effect of sight.

The dark environment was not formed instantaneously, and a lot of time had passed since Rhodes used the dark shelter.

In the previous battle, although the surrounding light was dim, Rhodes was able to see his surroundings clearly with his Eagle Eye Technique. And now, like the centaurs around him, Rhodes is also unable to see his surroundings.

Even so, Rhodes still found a chance to win, and compared to himself, these centaurs around him should be more panicked.

These centaurs should be the first time they have seen this kind of black cloud similar to the dark canopy, although they have heard of Diya's dark canopy before, but they are directly shrouded in black clouds, these centaurs are also experiencing it for the first time.

After the surroundings are plunged into darkness, the effect of vision is reduced to a minimum. Even if you put your hand in front of your eyes and wave it, it is difficult to see.

Realizing that the surrounding light was fading away, the centaur leader gathered the surrounding centaurs together in time.

Although the surroundings were shrouded in darkness, Rhodes did not command the undead creatures to attack first, but waited for the centaur leader's action.

Generally speaking, if you have mastered the primary four types of magic, in addition to being able to obtain bonuses on spells, you can also directly use magic elements, such as lighting flames, summoning water flows, and so on.

It was in this way that the previous Centaur Leader summoned a stream of water to extinguish the remaining flames of the fireball. This led Rod to learn that it had spellcasting abilities.

Therefore, even if the surroundings were plunged into darkness, Rhodes did not easily let the undead creatures attack, in this case, if the centaur leader in front of him mastered the fire magic, he could quickly set the surroundings on fire.

Flames can greatly reduce the effectiveness of dark shelter, as Rhodes had learned during the Battle of the Mansion. As a result, Rhodes is still waiting, and if the flames rise, Rhodes needs to quickly learn water magic and summon a stream of water to extinguish it.

After waiting for a while, Rhodes didn't see any fire.

Rod recalls that the centaur race as a whole is not gifted with magic, instead focusing more on melee combat. Basically, as long as the centaurs reach adulthood, they all have second-order strength, and with a little training, they can enter the third-order.

In the territory of Eri, centaurs mostly exist as pillagers, and their talent for spellcasting is really not as good as their talent for melee combat.

The centaur leader was visibly more focused on melee combat, and though he was unaware of its special abilities, Rhodes realized that it might not have mastered any spells.

If the centaur boss in front of you has fire magic, use it now without putting the whole party at a disadvantage due to darkness.

After realizing this, under the command of Rhodes, the surrounding undead creatures suddenly moved.

Most of the undead creatures rely on the perception brought by the soul fire, observing everything around them, and the dark environment will not have much impact on the undead creatures.

Low-level undead creatures have a small perception range, and they need more control from a necromancer. Undead creatures, similar to vampires, have eye structures but equally retain this ability to perceive.

Darkness is undoubtedly the best cover for undead creatures, which is why the dark canopy was created in the first place.

Taking advantage of the darkness around them, the ghost leaned towards the group of centaurs, moving without making a sound.

At this time, due to the darkness around them, although there was the command of the centaur leader, these centaurs around them were inevitably a little panicked, and their morale began to be a little low.

If the centaur leader could directly raise a fire at this time and illuminate the surroundings, perhaps these centaurs would still be able to fight bravely. But at this time, in the face of the darkness around them, these centaurs could only hold their weapons to resist the attacks of unknown enemies.

As the ghosts approached, the centaurs sensed danger acutely, and the loss of sight caused some confusion in the group, but the panic gradually subsided at the roar of the centaur leader, and the whole team raised their vigilance to the highest level.

At this time, although Rod couldn't see the group of centaurs in front of him through his eyes, with his grasp of the battle situation, under Rhode's instructions, these undead creatures around him stopped in an instant.

Even if these centaurs are in the dark and their strength is weakened a lot, if they let the ghosts come forward and fight hard, there will still be a lot of losses.

The ghost in the middle of the road, stopped some distance from the centaur. With no light around, even if the centaurs were on alert, they had no idea that the enemy was in front of them.

There was a moment of silence in the field, except for the heavy breathing of the centaurs.

For this group of centaurs, it is necessary to be vigilant because they sense that the enemy is likely to attack, but they do not know the location of the enemy or when the enemy will attack, and this vigilance must not be relaxed at any time.

In the case of losing vision, you can only rely on your own feelings to guard your surroundings. Maintaining this vigilance was undoubtedly exhausting, and it was in this way that Rhodes hoped that chaos would ensue within the centaurs.

From previous battles, Rhodes learned that the dark clouds created by the Dark Shelter can last for a long time, and there is no need to worry about the black clouds dissipating in a short time.

Therefore, Rhodes had enough time to deal with the group of centaurs in front of him.

At Rod's signal, the two ghosts in front of him quickly launched an attack on the centaur located on the outermost periphery, and the moment the ghost made a move, the centaur directly swung his weapon and faced the ghost in front.

Because the centaurs are always on alert, coupled with their own combat experience, even if they don't see the enemy, they sense the danger the moment the enemy strikes, and directly swing their weapons to resist the ghost's attack.

At this time, while the centaur was fending off the ghost in front of him, another ghost quickly attacked, and a claw slashed in front of the centaur, leaving several deep blood marks.

With a single blow, the two ghosts quickly retreated to the rear, leaving only the wounded centaur in place.

Hearing the sound of the fighting, the rest of the centaurs rushed to their aid, but to no avail, and the ghosts retreated into the darkness before they arrived.

Whether it was the sound of the centaur colliding with the ghost at war, or the shouting of the centaur after being injured, it deeply irritated the rest of the centaurs around them, and fear began to spread in the hearts of these centaurs.
