Chapter 67: The Wall of Fire

As time passed, the range that Rhodes could perceive was shrinking inward little by little.

The reason for the contraction was not that Rhodes deliberately converged his perception, but that he was suppressed by these black clouds in the sky.

Even if the range of perception was suppressed, Rhodes sat there as if it didn't have any effect, just focusing all his attention on perception.

At this time, due to the shroud of black clouds, coupled with the fact that it was also night, the surrounding light almost completely disappeared, and the house was pitch black, and if it was not known in advance, no one would have thought that someone was hiding in the house, sensing the situation on the battlefield.

Rhodes deliberately didn't use magic to light up the surroundings, also to prevent anomalies due to the firelight from attracting the necromancer's attention.

By this time, the vampire had closed his eyes and was in a semi-dormant state on the side.

A dark environment, for vampires, won't make much of a difference. But in order to prevent the breath from leaking out of the vampire's body, the necromancer sensed it, and as early as the first time he started waiting, Rhodes asked the vampire to suppress his activities to a minimum.

As time passed, although Rod's perception was suppressed a lot, he still noticed the anomaly on the side of the mansion.

In Rod's perception, around the mayor's mansion, there were only slight fluctuations in death energy at first, but it didn't take long for magic fluctuations to begin to occur.

With the generation of the first magic fluctuation, several more magic fluctuations immediately came. Rhodes realized that the necromancer had begun to attack the mayor's mansion and spotted the mayor in front of the mansion.

If it weren't for the location of the mayor, it would not have been possible to produce violent magical fluctuations in the direction of the mansion in the first place.

Necromancers need to control a large number of undead creatures, and the spirit marks used to control these undead creatures will occupy their mental attributes. After controlling a large number of undead creatures, there will not be much left of the necromancer's spiritual attributes.

When psychic attributes are used to manipulate undead creatures, the necromancer's spells do not receive the bonus to psychic attributes. This means that the magic unleashed by a necromancer is only as effective as an apprentice who has just learned a spell.

Battles between necromancers start with a portion of the undead creatures consumed first, and then use magic to change the tide of the battle, rather than using magic at the beginning.

Even when using spells, the necromancer will only use spells to gain an advantage when it is critical, and will not explode all spells.

Realizing this, Rhodes got up directly, and at the same time woke up the vampire on the side, preparing to go to the mayor's mansion.

At this time, there was no light at all, and it was completely pitch black. Rhodes knew that the necromancer had already guarded himself, so he didn't choose to light the torch like he did last time.

Since vampires are not affected by the dark environment, after Rhodes gives a command to the vampire from the spirit imprint, the vampire begins to lead the way ahead.

Guided by the vampire, Rhodes went outside the house.

Rhodes looked up at the sky, but he couldn't even see the appearance of black clouds, only the inky sky, and no light came.

Rod realized that this time the necromancer should have released this black cloud in the sky in advance, so that the entire sky was covered with this black cloud, not like last time.

In the previous attack, although this black cloud also existed in the sky, it was still impossible to block all the light in the sky far away from the mayor's mansion, and the cloud could still be seen.

Thinking of this, Rod knew that this time it should be the general attack of the necromancer, most of the methods of this necromancer have been seen by himself, and Rod can be regarded as having a partial understanding, on the contrary, the mayor of the town who has been in contact many times, Rod is difficult to see.

Rhodes let the vampire lead in front of him, heading towards the mayor's mansion, although he couldn't see the surrounding roads clearly, but through the perception of spiritual imprints, and the coordination of basic attributes on his body, Rhodes was able to move forward smoothly for a while.

Not long after moving forward, there was a clear fire in front of me.

Due to the darkness all around, the light of the fire was too conspicuous. At the mayor's mansion, red flames stained the dark sky. Even though he was still some distance from the mayor's mansion, Rhodes could clearly observe that there was a fierce battle going on inside the mansion.

Realizing this, due to the light of the fire, Rhodes quickly walked forward and came to the mayor's mansion, but did not step into the courtyard for the first time, but was on the periphery of the courtyard, far away from the battlefield, and began to observe the situation in the field.

The first thing that entered Rod's eyes was a succession of several walls of fire. Walls of fire burned around the mansion, illuminating the entire battlefield.

The mayor's originally neat skeleton warrior formation was disrupted by several walls of fire. Rhodes observed that these walls of fire should have risen directly from between the ranks of the Skeleton Warriors, and in addition to dealing instant damage to some of the Skeleton Warriors, they could also destroy the formation, just as Rhodes used the Ice Ring to disrupt the Skeleton Warriors' formation.

In addition, just in front of the gate of the mayor's mansion, there is also a wall of fire, blocking the back road of the mayor's retreat to the gate.

And the spell used by the mayor is also a wall of fire.

In front of this group of skeleton warriors, a wall of fire separates the attacking undead creatures, leaving only a few undead creatures to fight the skeleton warriors, and most of the undead creatures behind are all separated behind the wall of fire.

And in front of these skeleton warriors, some of the undead creatures have fallen.

At this time, the two Yin Spirits were engaged with this group of skeleton warriors, and the skeleton warriors used the shields in their hands to block all their attacks, and did not think about counterattacking for a while, but just resisted in place.

Mayor Mare, perhaps unwilling to lose these skeleton warriors, but just wanted to rely on the skeleton warriors and his own wall of fire to block these undead creatures here, while waiting for Rhodes to attack the necromancer, with the wall of fire blocking, he had nothing to lose for a while.

Sweeping his gaze across the battlefield, Rhodes noticed that there were four Yin spirits among the undead creatures on the attacking side. Two of the Shadows are fighting the Skeleton Warriors, while the other two are separated by a wall of fire, and in addition to the Shadows, there are a large number of ghosts and walking corpses.

Rhodes knew that in addition to these undead creatures, there would be other undead creatures guarding the necromancer, and these undead creatures in the field were not all the undead creatures of this necromancer.

On the battlefield, the necromancer and the mayor of the town use the wall of fire the most, which can be used to separate the battlefield and work well with their undead creatures.

In the case that both of them have a lot of undead creatures, the wall of fire is undoubtedly the best choice, which can not help but save mana and achieve the desired effect.

At this time, the wall of fire in front of the mansion dissipated, but immediately another wall of fire appeared, blocking the road behind the mayor.

Along with the wall of fire in front of the mansion, there was also the wall of fire in the ranks of the skeleton warriors, but after this wall of fire dissipated, the necromancer did not make up for it, but allowed the skeleton warriors to find their position and restore their formation.

At this point, as the wall of fire dissipated, Rhodes saw the mayor of the town among the skeleton warriors at a glance.

Mayor Mare stood behind the group of skeletal warriors, just as Rhodes had seen before, still holding the torch in his hand.

The mayor observed the situation on the battlefield with a nonchalant expression, the torch in his hand was not so bright against the backwall of fire, but if it was the first time the battle had just begun, this torch undoubtedly exposed his own position to the necromancer.

At this time, the wall of fire used by the mayor to block the undead creatures behind also dissipated, and seeing this situation, the two yin spirits in the back immediately began to act. Skeleton warriors rushing forward.

Under Rod's gaze, the mayor waved his hand violently, and suddenly, a wall of fire rose again in the original position, blocking the large group of undead creatures behind.

The two Yin Spirits who wanted to come forward to attack could only be blocked by the wall of fire that rose again.

Suddenly, the two Yin Spirits flashed with red light, and then rushed directly towards the inside of the wall of fire, passing through the wall of fire in an instant.

Passing through the wall of fire caused both of the two Yin spirits to take some damage, but due to the necromancer in the rear who performed fire thaumaturgy on the two Yin spirits before passing through the wall of fire, coupled with the characteristics of the Yin spirits themselves, the injuries were not serious.

After passing through the wall of fire, the Shade Spirits joined the battlefield to help the two previous Shades deal with the skeleton warriors in front of them.

For a while, due to the increase in the number of Yin Spirits, with the cooperation of each other, even if the Skeleton Warrior had a shield, it was still unable to deal with multiple Yin Spirits at the same time.

The moment the ghost passed through the wall of fire, Rhodes realized that the necromancer lurking in the darkness would not have just such a move.

Sure enough, except for the two Yin Spirits, the rest of the undead creatures also made a move, and began to rush directly into the wall of fire, wanting to cross the wall of fire and attack the undead creatures behind.

As the wall of fire had already consumed a lot of mana, the necromancer realized that he could not let the wall of fire last for nothing, but should attack while the wall of fire blocked the mayor's back path.

The mayor also noticed this, and instead of paying attention to the ghost that was killing the skeleton warrior not far away, he saw the opportunity and raised his hand again, and made up another wall of fire behind the wall of fire when the undead creature in front of him had just passed through it.

The undead creatures who were the first to pass through the wall of fire obviously did not anticipate this situation, and as soon as they broke out of the wall of fire, they were in the middle of the next wall of fire. The undead creature tried to rush forward, but eventually fell to the ground due to the scorching flames.

Ghosts can only float high above the ground. Even the Yin Spirits couldn't directly jump over this wall of fire from the air, let alone these ghosts.

At this time, the necromancer in the rear also realized this situation, and hurriedly used the spirit imprint to stop the group of undead creatures under his command.

Even though the necromancer gave this order as soon as he realized that the mayor had raised two walls of fire, there were still many ghosts who rushed into the first wall of fire in front of them and died under these two walls of fire, while the walking corpses did not enter the wall of fire due to their speed.

In this charge, the necromancer in the rear did not perform fire thaumaturgy on the undead creatures under him, which also led to the fact that even though many ghosts withdrew from the wall of fire, the cloth robes on their bodies were still ignited by the flames, and they were still suffering from the burning damage of the flames at this time.

A large number of undead creatures, according to the necromancer's orders, stopped in front of the two walls of fire, and because they were too close, the flames on the ghost cloth robe ignited the walking corpses on the side.

If it is a creature with normal consciousness, it will definitely take the initiative to stay away from objects with flames on its body, but the walking corpse is waiting in front of the wall of fire due to the instructions of the necromancer, and it happens to be ignited by the ghost who exits from the wall of fire.

Seeing this, the necromancer hurriedly let these undead creatures scatter towards the rear, and for a while, no more undead creatures were ignited.

At this time, in the face of this group of skeleton warriors, the four Yin Spirits in front of them achieved enough results.

Due to the sufficient number of Yin Spirits, coupled with their own characteristics, the Skeleton Warriors alone can only try their best to confine them to their place, and prevent them from raiding the Mayor Mare, and they cannot stop these Yin Spirits for too long.

On the side, the Yin Spirit swung out with a claw, and the Skeleton Warrior raised his shield to resist, blocking the Yin Spirit's attack. Immediately, another ghost flashed out of the Skeleton Warrior's side, and with a single claw, he severed the shield of the Skeleton Warrior's shield-holding hand.

The skeleton warrior's hand bones fell to the ground, along with the shield. The Skeleton Warrior was about to swing his sword for the final attack, but the Shadow Spirit, which had been blocked earlier, rushed over again and severed the Skeleton Warrior's neck with a single claw.

Due to the increase in numbers, the Skeleton Warriors are not able to surround the Wraith well. The interplay between the ghosts caused the mayor's skeleton warriors to suffer some losses.

In the face of the attack of the Yin Spirit, even if the skeleton warrior on the side wanted to come up with a shield to help resist, the target of the Yin Soul attack immediately changed, and the skeleton warrior who originally came up to help resist was killed by the Yin Spirit first.

Seeing that these skeleton warriors could not resist the attack of the ghosts, Mayor Mare's hand raised his hand and cast a spell on these ghosts.

In an instant, the speed of these four Yin Spirits slowed down both in terms of the speed of their attacks and their movements, and the slowing down made the coordination between them flawless, and they could no longer kill the Skeleton Warriors as quickly as before.

Rod, who was watching from the sidelines, apparently noticed the situation. Rhodes realized that the mayor of the town probably had a high level of earth-based magic.

The spell used by Mayor Mare is supposed to be the Great Law of Slowness, which Rhodes also wields, but only slows down one target at a time, while Mayor Mare can slow multiple targets at once.

This is also an ability that Mayor Mare has not used in previous battles, whether it is to repel the necromancer or meet Rod's temptation, the Mayor Mare has not cast this spell, and Rod has no way of knowing his special skill level.

In Rod's sight, the mayor began to be a little anxious, although there was still a lot of mana left, but he couldn't deal with so many undead creatures, and the way back to the mansion was blocked by the wall of fire, just turning his head, looking for Rod's figure.

Perhaps in order not to show anything unusual, the mayor's face still did not change significantly.
