Chapter 70: The Great Law of Camouflage
After the necromancer's death, all the undead creatures around Rhodes lost control.
The ghosts don't attack each other, they still target Rhodes, and start attacking Rhodes.
Seeing this, Rhodes quickly cast a spiritual imprint on the undead creatures around him.
Just in an instant, the ghosts that crossed the wall of fire and came to attack Rhodes in the rear were all controlled by Rhodes one by one.
After Rhodes used the spirit mark, the Yin Spirit was not affected in any way, and began to attack the surrounding enemies, that is, the ghosts controlled by Rhodes.
Rhodes knew that the Yin Soul had left the category of low-level undead creatures and belonged to a higher level of undead creatures.
If you want to skip the battle and control the Yin directly, unless the necromancer has a deep knowledge of the spirit imprint, or is the creator of the Yin Spirit.
Rod's spiritual imprint was also only rudimentary, and it was only learned through Elliott's magic book, and it was not further improved. Therefore, Rhodes can only subdue the Yin Spirit through fighting.
In this regard, Rod was no longer in a hurry, but took out a healing magic scroll from the space ring and tore it open.
Originally, the necromancer's best skill was fire magic, so forcing through the wall of fire caused a small half of Rod's health to disappear in an instant.
Although he had the protection of fire thaumaturgy, Rhodes did not leave fire burns on his body, but forcing through the wall of fire still caused Rhodes to lose a lot of health and affected Rhodes' overall attributes.
As a result, Rhodes needs to use the Healing Magic Scroll to restore his health.
Under the influence of this magic, Rhodes gradually regained the health he lost through the wall of fire, but more slowly.
While waiting, Rhodes used the spirit imprint to control the large group of ghosts in front of him and fight against the two ghosts not far away.
Rod didn't think about killing these two ghosts with ghosts alone, but mainly let the ghosts defend and encircle.
After waiting for a while, after most of his health had recovered, Rhodes got up and walked in the direction of the mansion instead of paying attention to the ghosts not far away.
Previously, while the health was recovering, the ghost was under the control of Rhodes to separate the two ghosts. Without that kind of mutual cooperation between the ghosts, coupled with the ghost's focus on defense, it will not be killed by the ghost for a while.
Rod looked in the direction of the mayor's mansion with a vague feeling in his heart.
In the previous battle, in order to quickly deal with the necromancer, Rhodes unleashed a number of spells, and the mana value went from the original full 90 points to only the last 5 points.
Since there is not much mana left at this time, it is difficult to continue to release any spells, and thinking of the next battle, Rhodes needs to use all the power on the battlefield.
Since the two ghosts in the back were already surrounded by ghosts and were far away from the mansion, Rhodes didn't have to worry about it for a while.
At this time, Rhodes's focus was on the undead creatures controlled by the necromancer. There are also a large number of walking corpses in the courtyard ahead, as well as two ghosts, waiting for Rhodes to deal with them.
Rhodes went to the courtyard where the undead creatures were, and quickly observed the situation in the field. At this time, the vampires were still fighting the two ghosts, and the undead creatures on the mayor's side were all gone, and the mansion was empty.
Most of the remaining undead creatures in the field, except for the two ghosts who fought the vampires, were walking corpses, and the original ghosts were transferred back to him by the necromancer, and they had long been controlled by Rhodes.
Rhodes looked at the walking corpses in front of him, and was about to cast the spirit mark, when he suddenly seemed to think of something, gave up the spirit mark, and instead raised his sword and rushed towards the walking corpse.
After controlling the previous group of ghosts, in order to cast a spiritual imprint, Rod used a large number of spiritual attributes. Originally, some of the remaining manipulative spirits were directly occupied, and even Rhodes' own spiritual attributes were also accounted for a lot.
At this time, Rod's spiritual attribute was only less than 5 points left.
Since Rod's current profession is still a swordsman, although spiritualism has an impact on Rod's career choice when he advances, because Rhodes is still in the second order, he can't get the bonus of the manipulative spirit brought by the rank.
As a result, Rhodes was unable to control a large number of undead creatures like the necromancer had in the same way.
Thinking of this, Rhodes set his eyes on the two Yin Spirits in the field.
At this time, the Yin Spirits were constantly attacking the vampires, and with the cooperation of the two Yin Spirits, the Vampires could only be restrained, and it was difficult to find a chance to fight back for a while.
In addition to the Shadows, the Walking Dead are also attacking vampires. Due to the large number of walking corpses, the battlefield is surrounded.
Faced with the numerous undead creatures around them, coupled with being surrounded, vampires seem difficult to deal with. Long before Rhodes arrived on the battlefield, vampires used batatization.
The bats produced after the bat transformation can deal with the walking corpse very well, but with the help of the surrounding ghosts, the bat is quickly killed, and the remaining walking corpses are wounded.
While the walking corpses were all focused on bats, Rhodes joined the battlefield with his sword.
Because Rhodes joined the battlefield in an instant, the walking corpses that blocked Rhodes were directly killed, and the surrounding walking corpses didn't even react.
Rhodes moved non-stop, slashing towards the location of the ghost.
If ordinary ghosts still need Rhodes to find a chance to kill them, then the walking corpses are completely unable to resist Rhodes.
In Rod's view, the walking corpse is full of flaws, and there is no need to deliberately look for opportunities to make a move. Without the necromancer's command, the identity of the low-level undead creature of the walking dead is once again revealed.
Rhodes killed in the direction of the Shadow, and the walking corpses around him were completely unable to restrain Rhodes' pace.
Due to the limitations of his mental attributes, Rhodes did not choose to control these walking corpses around him, but instead killed them directly.
For the player, using a spirit sigil to control an undead creature will not give them experience points even if they kill it.
Spiritual imprints cannot be easily lifted, unless the strength reaches a certain level, otherwise only by killing undead creatures can you touch spiritual imprints.
Determined not to control the walking corpses, Rhodes quickly killed the walking corpses around him. Due to the large number of walking corpses, Rhodes came to the side of the ghost.
Rhodes gave an order to the vampire through the spirit imprint, and the vampire, who was originally bent on resisting the attack, after receiving the order, cooperated with Rhodes and attacked one of the ghosts, regardless of the undead creatures around him.
In the face of the vampire's attack, the Yin Spirit directly raised his hand to block it, and a burst of dark light flashed on his body, this ordinary attack did not have much effect on the Yin Spirit. And the other ghost on the side took this opportunity to attack the vampire.
At this time, Rhodes slashed out from the side, taking advantage of the Yin Spirit's resistance to the vampire's attack, and slashed it with a sword.
The Yin Spirit reacted instantly, turned its body sideways, and immediately raised its arm to block Rod's attack. The vampire immediately followed, completely ignoring the undead creatures around him, and just attacking the Yin Spirit.
The Yin raised his hand to resist again, but the vampire directly grabbed the Yin Spirit's hand bones, and on the side, Rod's next attack also arrived, and the Yin Spirit could not move under the control of the Vampire.
The blade slashed through the Shade's neck, and the Shade fell from the air and fell to the ground.
The other ghost seemed to notice this and attacked directly towards Rhodes, who turned sideways and dodged the Wraith's attack.
Instead of immediately attacking the Shade, Rhodes looked at the nearest walking corpse and instantly contained it.
Following Rod's instructions, the walking corpse rushed forward directly and grabbed the body of the Yin Spirit.
The Yin Ghost obviously didn't expect that the walking corpse that had attacked the vampire together would attack him directly, and the walking corpse would directly grab his body.
Although the Yin Soul is much more powerful than the low-level undead creatures, it still does not reach the level of a vampire.
The Wraith waved its bone claws, intending to slay the walking corpses in front of them. The walking corpse followed Rod's manipulation and grabbed the ghost to the death.
Just as the Yin was dealing with the walking corpse, the vampire came directly behind the Yin and took advantage of the fact that the Yin was attacking the walking corpse with all its strength, and pounced directly at the Yin Spirit.
The Shade was aware of the attack from behind, but couldn't handle it for a while.
Since the walking corpse is clutching the Yin Spirit, even if the Yin Spirit tries to dodge to the side, it is unable to move quickly because its body is caught.
The vampire took advantage of the moment when the Yin was dealing with the walking corpse with all his might, and directly grabbed the neck of the Yin Spirit, along with the cloth robe on the Yin Spirit's body. Vampires only need to pull hard to kill the Wraith in an instant.
Seeing this, Rhodes cast a spiritual imprint directly on the Yin Spirit. The Yin was also aware of this, and under the pressure of death, the Yin had no choice but to accept it.
When the Yin received the mark, the vampire let go of the grasping spine, and the Yin began to slowly flash some dark light to restore its health.
Rod checked the system log, and the ghost had a total of 1.7 of his spiritual attributes.
There is a big gap between high-level undead creatures, even if they are the same type of undead creatures, their strength is completely different, and the experience points they provide are also different.
The strength of this Yin Soul can only be said to be average among third-order creatures, so it only occupies Rhodes' 1.7 spiritual attribute.
After the Yin Soul was subdued, there were still some walking corpses around, and since the Yin Spirits were subdued, these walking corpses began to attack the Yin Spirits. Although the strength of this Yin Soul was only average in the Third Order, there was no problem in dealing with these walking corpses.
Rhodes left the ghost behind to deal with the walking corpses around him, and he himself took the vampire to the front of the mansion, where the mayor had been.
Following the vampire's instructions, Rhodes came to the corpse of the mayor that the vampire had killed.
Perhaps the Skeleton Warriors retreated quickly and did not bring the mayor's body back to the mansion, and Rhodes took advantage of this opportunity to inspect the mayor's body.
The corpses were easily recognizable, and right next to the skeletons of the surrounding Shadow and Skeleton Warriors, there was only one corpse with mutilated flesh and blood, completely different from the skeletons around it.
Rhodes came to the corpse, stretched out his hand, and felt it.
In an instant, Rhodes got up and walked towards the rear of the battlefield with the vampire, not paying any attention to the things around him.
Returning to the Yin Soul who was fighting with the walking corpses, Rhodes didn't pay attention to the Yin Spirit, but directly swung his sword and killed several walking corpses who tried to attack him, and walked towards the rear without stopping.
As he returned, Rhodes remembered the touch of his hand earlier, the body was cold and hard, and the blood was completely coagulated.
Rhodes realizes that the corpse was not the mayor of the town before he died. Even if Mayor Mare's life was a necromancer, his body would not be like this after death.
Time didn't pass long, if this corpse was really the mayor, there should still be some warmth, at least when Rhodes felt it, the flesh and blood on his body would not be as cold as if he had been dead for a long time. The blood should also flow around, not just clot.
Rod realizes that Mayor Mare is not dead. The person who was standing at the door was not the mayor at all, and the corpse in front of him may have been left by an ordinary walking corpse.
The mayor didn't leave the mansion, but let the walking corpse pretend to be himself at the beginning. In order to convince Rhodes, he even commanded the walking corpse to make corresponding movements every time he released his magic.
Rhodes remembered when he came to the mansion earlier to confirm. At that time, the mayor walked out of the mansion, it should be a walking corpse disguise, whether it is the appearance or the momentum of the necromancer, it is not much different from what Rod originally saw, but there are some abnormalities in the subtleties, but Rod didn't care.
Rhodes knew that a simple disguise could not fool him, and the mayor must have used a spell on the walking corpse.
Due to the fact that he had been exposed to a lot of spells in his previous life, this kind of spell that specialized in changing appearance was not unfamiliar to Rhodes, and it was the second-order camouflage Dafa.
What Rod didn't expect was that the mayor would be able to use this spell. Camouflage Dafa is a relatively rare spell, and because of its incredible effect, it takes a lot of money to obtain it directly from the Magic Guild, and it is difficult for ordinary apprentices to learn it.
The Great Law of Disguise belongs to air magic in terms of category, which is completely different from the spells used by Mayor Mare before in terms of category, which is why Rod did not consider it before.
It was this camouflage technique that allowed the mayor to be safely located inside the mansion and observe all the scenes on the battlefield, allowing Rhodes and the necromancers in the rear to fight desperately.
The reason why the mayor pretended to allow Rhodes to bear this danger may be because of the existence of the camouflage Dafa. If the mayor of the town came out, he might have been killed by a bat raid.
Once the location of the necromancer's body is known to the enemy, it will be in great danger.
Rhodes obviously didn't expect that the mayor who was standing in front of the mansion was just a walking corpse disguised as a mayor, and he had successfully deceived himself.
Although the mayor managed to trick Rhodes into making Rhodes engage the necromancer, he still kept these ghosts in check, leaving Rhodes with little to lose.
At this point, Rhodes returned to the rear battlefield to deal with the remaining two ghosts.
While letting the vampires deal with these two ghosts, Rhodes also realizes one thing and begins to become a little alert.
After the necromancer's death, Mayor Mare did not fight for control of them, but remained inside the mansion, ceding all the undead creatures to Rhodes.
Rhodes realized that the mayor was preparing something more important inside the mansion at this time.
Realizing this, Rhodes led the vampires and quickly came to the ghosts surrounded by ghosts and subdued them one by one.
After subduing the two ghosts, Rhodes did not dispose of the corpses of the necromancer, but directly took these undead creatures under his command and walked towards the mayor's mansion.
