Chapter 49: The Mage
The moonlight shone down, through the gap in the forest, illuminating the two who were facing each other. Rhodes and the blue-robed mage glanced at each other, and they were sure of something.
Although Rhodes took the weapon out of the spatial ring, he didn't make any movement after that. He didn't directly raise his sword and rush towards the blue-robed mage, but just stood in place, looking at the blue-robed mage in front of him.
Rhodes knew that it would undoubtedly be very difficult for him to defeat the blue-robed mage in front of him with his own strength. If you want to kill the blue-robed mage in front of you, you also need the assistance of a vampire.
At Rhodes' signal through the spirit seal, the vampire dodged the previous attack and returned to the dead horse, rapidly devouring the flesh.
Looking at the blue-robed mage opposite, Rhodes understood that although the vampire consumed part of the blue-robed mage's mana, it didn't have much effect on the damage he was able to use spells to burst out.
For mages, as long as the mana is not depleted, there will not be much loss of strength. Even if the body is damaged, the mage can still exert its original strength, while the melee class will be weakened due to physical injury, which will cause immobility.
Due to the large number of special skills that mages need to learn, coupled with the limitation of mana, mages appear to be slightly weaker at low levels, and can only attack the enemy with burst damage, and there is no way to continue fighting.
Low-level melee professionals, with their own strength, can kill mages of the same level.
With the improvement of the rank, the mage has learned a variety of special skills, as well as spells with various effects, and the mana value has also become abundant, which makes the mage's comprehensive strength increase exponentially.
Once a mage reaches the fourth order, which is the level of a full-fledged mage, he will be able to begin to show his might. Also as a fourth-order, it is difficult for ordinary melee professionals to deal with mages of the same level, and the gap between this kind of mage and warrior will become more and more obvious as the rank increases.
As the ranks rise again, among the non-heroic melee professionals, except for a very few elites of the same rank, and some melee professionals who have obtained powerful treasures, the remaining melee professionals can hardly compete with mages of the same rank.
The growth of a mage's strength requires the support of a large number of special skills. Since there are only so many skill points obtained by increasing the rank level, players need to carefully calculate each skill point if they want to cultivate a powerful mage in the later stage, and even spend a lot of time learning special skills on their own to save skill points.
In terms of self-learning skills, players do not have any preferential treatment, and can only join the magic academy to learn by themselves like the natives in the game, even if it is a beginner special skill, it often takes weeks or even months to master.
Such a mage, once it grows to the late stage, its comprehensive strength will be extremely powerful, whether it is a simple damage magic, or a spell used to control the scene, and a spell with special effects, they can all exert their maximum power, and it can be said that there is no weakness.
In the game of his previous life, Rhodes was such a mage, so Rhodes was well aware of the strength of mages after reaching a high level.
In this life, due to the situation, Rod did not deliberately keep the skill points, but used them as soon as he got them.
Every skill point used by Rhodes has been analyzed by himself and can effectively solve the situation at that time. If I hadn't learned these skills at the time, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand here.
Rhodes knew that when he reached the advanced level, although he could also learn magic, he lacked various special skills, and he could not be as versatile as an orthodox mage, but he could make up for it in other ways, and his overall strength would not be weaker than that of a mage of the same level.
Since he had a full understanding of the mage, thinking about the spells used by the blue-robed mage before, Rod deduced that he had the strength of the third order. Therefore, instead of thinking about going forward to fight immediately, Rhodes waited for the vampire's reply.
Feeling the news from the vampire in the spirit imprint, Rhodes knew that even if the vampire had used batatization many times when he had used the blue-robed mage before, it could still be used, but only one last chance to bat transform.
By previously leveling up his character, Rhodes still has 2 free attribute points left unused. In the process of fighting with the blue-robed mage in front of him, if he is hit by the blue-robed mage's magic, Rhodes can only choose to use his own attribute points to improve his physique and quickly restore his health.
The blue-robed mage was looking in Rhodes' direction at this time. In the process of observing the enemy, the blue-robed mage also discovered something.
Previously, when they were in the merchant group, the two of them could not meet each other because they were both in a carriage, and it was only at this time that the blue-robed mage could see the appearance of the enemy.
Looking at the enemy in front of him, the blue-robed mage knew in his heart that the enemy would not let him go, as long as he still had the space ring of the merchant group on his hand, then the enemy would definitely follow and kill him.
When the enemy took out his weapon, seeing the enemy's posture in front of him, the blue-robed mage was obviously stunned for a moment.
Generally speaking, except for some noble-born mages who are good at swordsmanship, the weapons held by mages are either magical weapons with special effects, or only used as symbolic resistance, and the real strength of mages is still in spells.
The blue-robed mage looked at the enemy in front of him, although the black-robed enemy in front of him was dressed as a necromancer, this posture of holding the sword, as well as the momentum on his body, was obviously not for symbolic use, but intended to fight with him with the blade in his hand.
In the blue-robed mage's thoughts, according to the information they had previously obtained from the head of the merchant group, these two travelers were able to tell the goods that the merchant group was really transporting through subtle perception, and they obviously knew the necromancer's affairs extremely well.
In addition, during the march of the merchant group, the blue-robed mage also felt that some of them had conducted deep meditation. According to the idea of the blue-robed mage, a mage who can perform deep meditation and is not afraid of interruption should be extremely strong.
Therefore, the blue-robed mage had the same thoughts as Yusher, and concluded that the two travelers in the caravan, one a necromancer and the other an undead creature under his control, had gone to Diya for the same purpose as he had said, to participate in the war.
At this time, seeing the enemy who was supposed to be a necromancer, he took out his sword for the first time, and the blue-robed mage was suddenly unsure of their profession, if it was not a necromancer, it was a fallen warrior or a spirit summoning swordsman......
Thinking of this, a trace of remorse began to appear in the heart of the blue-robed mage, he knew that he was not a pure necromancer, and his strength was not as strong as he imagined, if he cooperated with the other members of the Shang Shang Group, there might not be no way to kill them.
Feeling his remaining mana, the blue-robed mage took the lead in raising his hand, ready to release the spell.
