Chapter 69: Fire Thaumaturgy

Rhodes rushed in the direction of the necromancer.

The necromancer reacted in time, manipulating the ghost to resist Rod's attack, while taking care to guard against bats flying into the sky.

Rhodes swung his sword and slew the nearest ghost.

Looking at these enemies in front of him, Rhodes quickly swung his sword. Since the undead creatures around him were only ghosts, Rhodes did not choose to release his magic.

In this short period of time, Rhodes smashed in from the formation surrounded by ghosts, and the effect of expert-level swordsmanship was exerted to the extreme, and not many ghosts in front of him could withstand a single attack from Rhodes.

Just as Rhodes continued to attack the next selected ghost, the necromancer in the rear also intervened, not wanting Rhodes to kill his undead creature so easily.

The necromancer saw the opportunity for Rhodes to draw his sword, condensed a fireball in his hand, and then shot directly at Rhodes.

Although Rhodes is at war with the Ghost, the process of the firelight appearing is so conspicuous that Rhodes can notice it even without the perception bonus of Scouting.

The moment the necromancer cast his spell, Rhodes abandoned his opponent and ducked to the side.

The fireball grazed past Rod and hit the ground not far away, and the explosion rang out in Rhodes' ears, but Rhodes was not affected in the slightest.

After dodging the fireball, Rhodes attacks the ghost again.

Compared to the Yin Spirit, because the basic attributes of the Ghost are not high, Rhodes can quickly kill it with swordsmanship alone. Even with a large group of ghosts in front of him, Rhodes could handle it.

Rhodes realized that the necromancer's manipulation of undead creatures was far less elaborate than the mayor's.

When he fought with the ghosts in front of him, the necromancer did not control it much, but let the ghosts fight by instinct. If the mayor had come to control the ghosts in front of him, Rhodes might have needed to cast a spell to defeat them.

The mayor of the town can rely on years of accumulation to slowly improve his ability to control undead creatures, while necromancers who have been in the academy do not have this opportunity.

At this point, the necromancer manipulated the undead creatures to fend off Rhodes while continuing to turn the ghost back to his side.

In the battle, Rhodes knew that the necromancer would definitely be a little anxious, and in order to save his life, he might give up attacking the mayor and transfer the ghost to his side instead.

If the mayor is willing to cooperate with him, he should cast other spells at this time to confine the few ghosts in place and prevent them from coming back to help.

Rhodes knew that Mayor Mare had the strength to hold back the retreating Shadow. But Rhodes also knew that neither he nor the mayor could trust each other, and they both had the same thoughts.

Thinking of this, Rod slowed down his speed to deal with these ghosts, and at the same time, through the spirit imprint, Rod sensed the position of the bat.

The necromancer took the initiative to pull some distance to the rear, apparently not wanting to fight with these undead creatures.

Rhodes was also not in a hurry, just concentrating on dealing with the ghosts in front of him, even if the necromancer transferred back a lot of ghosts, he still couldn't stop Rhodes, and could only be killed by Rhodes one by one.

At this time, Rhodes's heart was shocked, as if he sensed something, and immediately swung his sword and slashed at the dark place on the side.

With a muffled thud, Rod's blade was flicked aside, and another attack came at Rod.

Rod swung his sword to block this attack, and through the surrounding fire, Rod also saw clearly the enemy in front of him, which were the two ghosts who were supposed to attack the mayor.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the necromancer was killed, and for a while, he directly transferred back the two yin spirits in front of the original battlefield, and the mayor did not stop him in any way.

The necromancer obviously underestimated Rod's strength, even if he sensed Rod's existence during the first temptation and kept the strongest Yin Ghost by his side as a guard, he didn't expect to be dealt with by Lot so quickly.

Therefore, sensing that he was in great danger, the necromancer immediately tried to recall the ghost.

Taking advantage of the moment when Rhodes was fighting with these two ghosts, the necromancer, who had been observing not far away, also struck and shot a magic arrow at Rhodes.

Rhodes rolled to the side to dodge, and when he got up, he immediately met the attack of the Yin Spirit.

While Rhodes was fighting these undead creatures, the bats that had risen into the sky earlier were completely missing at this time.

The necromancer realized this, but he didn't think much about it, just thought that the bat wanted to give him a sneak attack, so he transferred a few ghosts to his side to strengthen his guard.

And the real situation of this group of bats is not at all what the necromancer thought. At Rod's motion, the bat rose towards the sky, and then flew in the direction of the mansion.

High above the ground, a swarm of bats was flying rapidly. Under the cover of night, the bats blended perfectly into the darkness, and no bats in the sky were found on either side of the battlefield.

Even the sound of flapping wings was drowned out by the sound of the crash in front of the mansion and the burning of the wall of fire, and neither the necromancer nor the mayor noticed the movement of the bats.

Although with the cooperation of vampires, Rhodes can quickly kill the necromancer in front of him, but the situation after that is completely out of Rhodes' control, the mayor in front of the mansion can quickly take over these ghosts, plus a large number of walking corpses, under the control of the mayor, it is difficult for Rhodes to defeat them.

However, Rhodes miscalculated the necromancer's decision.

The necromancer didn't use his spell with all his might as soon as he found out about the mayor, and according to the power of his previous fireball technique, he could have cast it multiple times in a row to defeat the mayor's skeleton warrior. And the necromancer only thinks about saving mana and letting the Yin Spirits clean up the skeleton warriors in front of him, which gives the mayor a big chance.

At this point, the necromancer shifted his main target to himself, and the mayor had a much easier time dealing with only two ghosts. The mayor could have retreated directly into the mansion and waited until Rhodes and the necromancer were both defeated before coming out to fight.

That's why Rhodes needed to respond. Instead of quickly killing the necromancer according to the original plan, he instead let the vampire bats cross the battlefield and attack the mayor in front of the mansion while the mayor has not yet retreated into the mansion.

Under the cover of darkness, no one noticed the bat below the black cloud, and the bat crossed the battlefield and came to the top of the mayor's mansion.

At this time, the mayor is still in his original position, holding a torch, and directing the surrounding skeleton warriors to resist the Yin Spirit.

The swarm of bats gathered above the mayor's head, and then quickly swooped downwards like a black torrent towards the mayor.

By the light of the surrounding fire, the mayor noticed the bats in the sky, but before he could make any movements, his body was covered with bats.

The bat bit wildly on the mayor's body, and for a while, the mayor didn't have any resistance and fell directly to the ground.

Quite a few Skeletal Warriors tried to turn around and attack the bats, but this move caused their formations to fall apart.

Although the number of Yin Spirits in front of the Skeleton Warrior decreased, under the crazy attack of the Yin Warriors, coupled with the expiration of the duration of the Slow Dafa at this time, the Skeleton Warrior was quickly killed.

In just this instant, the mayor who was standing in front of the mansion was killed, and the skeleton warriors also suffered a lot of losses.

At this time, the remaining skeleton warriors quickly passed the group of bats on the ground as if they had received some order, and retreated towards the interior of the mansion.

After the bat killed the mayor, he ignored the undead creatures around him, and flew towards the walking corpses at the back of the battlefield.

At this time, at the front of the battlefield, the necromancer was engaged in a fierce battle with Rhodes. There was a lot of fire scattered on the ground around him, dispelling the darkness a lot, but there were not many injuries on Rod's body.

When the vampire bats attacked the mayor, the necromancer began to concentrate on manipulating the undead creatures around him, and the pressure on Rhodes increased significantly.

Taking advantage of the two ghosts in front of him to drag Rhodes back, the other ghosts around him also surrounded him, relying on their attacks to interfere with Rhodes, and at the same time creating an opportunity for the ghosts to attack.

Without the presence of these two ghosts, Rhodes was not afraid of the encirclement of the ghosts, but under the leadership of these two ghosts, the situation was completely different.

Rod's main energy was put on dealing with the attacks of the two ghosts, and due to the fierce attack of the ghosts, it was difficult for Rhodes to decapitate them, coupled with the advantage in the number of ghosts, Rod could only parry.

For this reason, Rhodes had to use the Ice Ring to open the battle.

Just as Rhodes finished releasing the Ice Demon Ring and was about to attack when the surrounding undead creatures were impacted, a fireball flew in time on the side, dispelling Rhodes' thoughts.

Rhodes could only dodge to the side, although the dodge did not take long, but it was enough for the surrounding undead creatures to recover from the impact, and after recovery, the undead creatures would surround Rhodes again.

Seeing the undead creatures around him once again closing in on him, Rhodes realized that he couldn't go on like this.

At this point, through the message of the spirit imprint in his mind, Rhodes knew that the mayor had been killed by a vampire. And the vampire has recovered from the bat-incarnation, and in the center of the battlefield, fights the two Yin spirits who are preparing to return.

Facing two ordinary Yin Spirits at the same time, the vampire has no disadvantage for a while, but he can only drag them down, and cannot kill them.

In addition to this, there was also some information coming from the spirit imprint, which made Rod detect some abnormalities.

According to Rod's idea, the Skeleton Warriors would engage the Skeleton Warriors when they lost control after the Mayor was killed, but the situation did not develop as Rod expected, and the Skeleton Warriors were nowhere to be seen, and instead the vampires were dragging the two Shades in tow.

Although he did not carefully observe the situation on the battlefield, after quickly learning the information of the vampire through the spirit imprint, Rhodes did not bother with the vampire, but focused on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

Rod's mind quickly flashed the situation on the battlefield, because he didn't know what happened on the mayor's side, plus the rest of the undead creatures on the battlefield, all gathered on his side at this time, Rod needed to quickly deal with the necromancer, otherwise it would become even more unfavorable.

Looking at the undead creatures in front of him, Rhodes knew that even if he used magic, he would not be able to kill them all in a short time, so he could only forcibly kill the necromancer who controlled them.

Rhodes raised his hand, and a ring of ice centered on Rhodes and slammed towards all directions.

As Rod expected, just as Rod released a spell, a red light flashed not far from here, and a magic arrow shot towards this side.

Ignoring the undead creatures around him that had been exposed by the impact, Rhodes dodged and rushed in the direction of the magic while dodging the magic arrows.

Under Rhodes' full-speed sprint, he directly passed the ghost in front of him. Through the firelight generated around him, Rhodes also vaguely saw the necromancer who had been hiding in the shadows.

There are still a few ghosts left around the necromancer to protect, but there are only a few of them, and most of them have been fighting by Rhodes' side before.

At this time, the necromancer also realized Rod's thoughts, raised his hand and released a fireball, and then hurriedly controlled the ghosts who had fought against Rhodes before, allowing them to pursue Rhodes.

Seeing the fireball coming towards him, Rhodes raised his hand and shot an ice arrow in front of him. The ice arrow hits the fireball directly in the air, creating an explosion in the middle of the two.

Rhodes just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to rush towards the necromancer, but he only saw a wall of fire rising not far away.

The undead creatures in the rear also recovered from the impact of the Ice Ring and began to rush towards Roderod.

Rhodes knew that even if he wanted to bypass the wall of fire, he would be blocked by the next wall of fire, and he would only be caught up by the undead creatures behind him.

Taking advantage of the wall of fire blocking the necromancer's view, Rhodes unleashed fire thaumaturgy on himself, and then rushed towards the back of the wall of fire.

In an instant, Rhodes was through the wall of fire. Due to his fire-resisting thaumaturgy protection, Rhodes only received magical damage from the wall of fire.

The fire thaumaturgy was as if a shell of fire magic was attached to Rod's body, blocking some of the damage of the wall of fire, and more importantly, it prevented Rod's black robe from burning due to the flames.

The necromancer behind the wall of fire obviously did not expect that the enemy in front of him would directly pass through the wall of fire and come to attack him, and he was about to raise his hand and release his magic again, but he saw that an ice arrow had already come to him.

The necromancer hurriedly dodged to the side, dodging the ice arrow in embarrassment, and just got up, only to find that the ghost beside him was killed in an instant.

By the light of the fire emitted by the wall of fire not far away, the necromancer saw a hooded black figure rushing towards him, but due to the surrounding light, the necromancer could only see a silhouette, and it was difficult to see the face under the hood.

The necromancer had just raised his hand, but he could only see a flash of sword light. Then, the necromancer's consciousness flew away, and he couldn't perceive anything.
