Chapter 44: The Scroll
Yusher's body smashed through the collapsed guardrails behind him and fell from the top of the tower.
Before falling, as the shield was knocked open, Yuser saw Rod's indifferent eyes again.
After crashing into Uther, Rhodes struggled to restrain his forward thrust and eventually came to a halt at the edge of the watchtower.
In the air, Yusher somehow let go of the weapon in his hand, waving his arms wildly in the air, but in vain. Realizing that he was about to die, Uther seemed to have something in mind, and his face was full of remorse.
The last thought in Yuser's mind somehow turned into a picture, and it was Rod who knocked him down, standing on the edge of the watchtower, with a cold look in his eyes.
At the top of the tower, looking at the falling Yusher, Rhodes suppressed the fierce beating heart, recalling that the key to defeating Yusher was undoubtedly to paralyze Yusher through spells, making him unable to move and exert force, and then he saw the right time to knock him off the top of the tower.
Rhodes didn't have mana on his body, and the reason he was able to release this spell was because he used a spell scroll from his apprentice, Thunderbolt Lightning.
Previously, this spell scroll was found from the apprentice's spatial ring, and Rod never used it until now.
Thunderbolt is a second-order spell, and its base damage is similar to that of a first-order spell: Magic Arrow, but the mental attribute has a higher bonus to Thunderbolt, and Thunderbolt also has a paralyzing effect that lasts for a short time.
If it is a normal battle, it is difficult to play a big role because the paralyzing effect lasts for a short time, but at this time, this effect has become a magic weapon for Rhodes to win.
With this one scroll in his possession, Rhodes knew he had only one chance to try, and that he had to let the spell hit Yusher's body in order to succeed.
If used directly, the thunderbolt will be blocked by Yusher's shield, which will only paralyze the hand holding the shield, and will not have much effect on the strength of the entire body, even if Rhodes chooses to collide, he will be blocked by Yusher head-on, or directly dodge.
Therefore, Rhodes chose to throw the gold coin first, and let Yusher raise the shield, so that the thunderbolt lightning could hit Yusher's body. The entire lower half of his body was paralyzed, making Uther unable to exert force in his legs, and he was eventually knocked out by Rod.
Through this time of learning about Yusher, Rhodes understands that after he throws an object at Yusher's head, no matter what he throws, Yusher will raise his shield to resist, which gives Rhodes the opportunity to use thunderbolt lightning to hit him.
At this moment, Uther fell to the ground, making a loud noise, and lost his life in an instant.
After confirming the increase in experience through the system, instead of looking at the fallen Uther, Rhodes turned around and walked down the steps of the watchtower.
On the side, everyone who was fighting with the vampire also heard this loud noise, but because they had to deal with the vampire in front of them, they didn't pay much attention to the direction of the sound.
At the edge of the battlefield, the blue-robed mage who had been controlling the situation on the battlefield with spells had obviously noticed the loud noise, which reminded him of something and looked over there.
Since the duration of the first spell had expired, after reapplying the weakening spell to the vampire, the blue-robed mage followed the previous sound to the place where Uther fell.
As the pace got closer and closer, the blue-robed mage had clearly discovered something, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.
In front of the blue-robed mage, there was the corpse of the regiment leader who had fallen to the ground.
"Impossible......"
What he saw in front of him made it hard for the blue-robed mage to believe it, but the real situation was like this, and the blue-robed mage had to believe that the head of the regiment would die in such a way.
The blue-robed mage remembered that there were only two travelers in the group, one of whom was a vampire that he and the rest of the group were dealing with. Based on the situation on the battlefield, it was clear that the vampire would not be able to hold out for long, and the blue-robed mage believed that he and the rest of the merchant group would soon be able to kill the vampire.
And the regiment commander, who has not appeared, is undoubtedly dealing with another passenger. The blue-robed mage has a deep understanding of the steadiness of the group leader Yu Se, and he can only have a tie with the head of the group if he goes all out.
At this time, the blue-robed mage obviously couldn't associate the steady head of the regiment in the past with the rotten meat in front of him.
Before the blue-robed mage could grieve at this, a chill appeared in his heart.
If the regimental commander is good enough, then how powerful it will be to kill his other traveler.
The blue-robed mage didn't dare to think about it, and glanced in the direction of the vampire in the field. At this time, the rest of the members of the merchant group besieged the vampire, and the vampire used batatization again, and all the members were dealing with the bats in the air at this time.
Seeing this, the blue-robed mage made a decision in his heart. The blue-robed mage took off the spatial ring from the hands of the dead regiment leader, put it on his hand, and then returned to the battlefield.
Seeing that the rest of the merchant group members were concentrating on dealing with the bats in the air, the blue-robed mage did not explain his findings to any of the merchant group members, but returned to the carriage before without saying a word.
The blue-robed mage quickly opened the secret compartment inside the carriage, put some scroll-like items in his coat pocket, and then tore off a large piece of cloth from the side, and put some valuable items and some books containing knowledge into it.
The blue-robed mage carried the package on his back and did not choose to put the spatial ring on his back.
Even though he had just obtained the spatial ring from the corpse of the group leader, the blue-robed mage understood the danger he might encounter, and did not choose to spend mana to activate the spatial ring, so he could only carry the package on his back.
The blue-robed mage came to the carriage and looked at the members around him who were still dealing with the bats, and said a few words in his heart, then came to the front of the carriage and took out the dagger from his coat pocket, trying to cut the rope that bound the horses.
After some trying, the blue-robed mage could only helplessly find that this kind of rope used to hold the horses in order to withstand the traction brought by the horses was obviously specially treated, and the appearance was very tough.
With just one dagger, relying on the blue-robed mage's own strength, it was obviously impossible to cut it in a short period of time.
Seeing this situation, the blue-robed mage directly cut his palm with a dagger. Seeing blood spilling from his palm, the blue-robed mage smeared the blood on the dagger.
As soon as the blood made contact with the dagger, a red light erupted from the dagger. As the blood increases, the red light gradually deepens. With the strange red light on the dagger, the blue-robed mage didn't have much effort to cut through the originally tough rope.
Turning on his horse, and without caring for the remaining members of the merchant group, the blue-robed mage rode his horse towards the forest.
And this scene happened to make Rhodes, who walked off the watchtower, in his eyes.
