Chapter 251: Waiting for an Opportunity
Vikz's appearance directly messed up the direction of the entire battle.
Rod and Hammerstone, who were originally killed, directly changed their way of fighting - the two no longer took the initiative to attack, but coincidentally chose to borrow a knife to kill.
That's right, these two guys are using each other as cover to cover themselves, apparently hoping that the other will die under the decomposition of Vikz.
But after a dog-and-chicken jump, both Rhodes and Hammerstone found it almost impossible.
Rhodes is much quicker than Hammerstone, and he can time himself away when Vickers fires a disintegrating ray - but don't forget, Rhodes is also Vickers' target.
For Vikz's disintegration ray to be a weapon against Hammerstone, quick action and continuous flashes were not enough, as Vikz seemed to be a lot more cautious after a few failed attacks.
Because of the failure to decompose Rhodes, Vikz had to decompose a lot of the ground and walls - and for Vikz, the feeling of having to decompose these things was as uncomfortable as a beast of prey when it was hunting, but instead biting a mouthful of sand.
Undoubtedly, the Void Eye didn't like the feeling of eating a mouthful of sand.
On the other hand, Hammerstone is a lot slower than the nimble Rhodes - but don't forget, this guy isn't Vikz's target either, so he doesn't need to pay much attention to his own safety.
This allows Hammerstone to single-handedly wreak havoc on Rhodes, hoping that Vikz will crush the little flea to death.
It's a pity that Hammerstone couldn't do it for a while.
In this way, the two of them spent a lot of effort, and the result was only a little bruising on everyone, and the entire guard hall was in a mess.
It can't go on like this anymore - looking at Vikz, who seems to be unconsumed, Hammerstone and Rhodes make up their minds at the same time.
It seems that Vikz can't be used as a knife to kill enemies, but only as a nuisance distraction in the middle of the battle, and in this case, both Hammerstone and Rhodes tacitly stop running around.
Everyone knows that, at the end of the day, Vikz is the enemy after all - both for Hammerstone and for Rod.
But because of the different circumstances, the choice made by Hammerstone and Rhodes at this time was completely different.
For Rod, both Hammerstone and Vikz are enemies to be defeated, the kind that are not negotiable and cannot join forces.
But for Hammerstone, Rhodes is the first target - Hammerstone can team up with Vicz to kill Rode.
So, Hammerstone began to make tentative moves, wanting to cooperate with Vikz and limit Rod's actions.
As if sensing the meaning of the hammerstone, Vikz's decomposition ray also seemed to be trying to avoid the hammerstone.
Vikz's actions made Hammerstone's heart feel at the bottom - and in contrast, Rod's heart sank to the bottom.
It's really possible to get cold now.
Facing the hammerstone alone, Rod can hang it.
Facing Vikz alone, Rod can hold out until the end of the space blockade and slip away with Yorick and Mokai.
Face Hammerstone and Vikz alone...... Rhodes felt that he was more than lucky.
What to do?
At the critical moment, Rhodes dodged the hammerstone's hooks and chains, unleashing an arcane wisdom on himself, calming himself down a bit.
A head-on battle is impossible - even if the enemy is only Vikz, Rhodes can't fight head-on.
It is also not advisable to blindly escape, with the interference of the hammer stone, it is difficult for Rhodes to guarantee that he will not be hit, if he is bent on escaping, once he is hit, the result will be devastating.
Rod must counter-attack appropriately while dodging to keep himself safe.
So, here's the problem.
Who is Rhodes' counter-attack?
Vikz?
No, this guy's body is full of void energy that can withstand most of Rod's attacks - and with Hammerstone on the side, Rod can't hold back a big move, so the idea of properly putting pressure on Vicz was the first to be denied.
Hammerstone?
This can be considered, after all, Hammerstone is the main control hand, if Rod's spell can force Hammerstone to be restrained, then the hope of victory in the battle is much greater - but looking at Hammerstone's obscene appearance, I am afraid it is not so easy to give enough pressure......
Karthas?
This seems to be the best choice - the current Karthas is almost unable to hold out under the hands of Yorick and Maokai, if Rhodes suddenly makes a move now, Karthas is likely to lose his combat effectiveness directly, in this case, as long as Yorick and Maokai who are free to give themselves some support, Rod is fully confident that he will drag until the end of the spatial enchantment, and even kill Vikz!
After making up his mind, the first thing Rhodes did was to attack Hammerstone.
As soon as Rhodes raised his hand, a series of fireballs came out of his hand and flew directly towards Hammerstone.
The dense fireballs basically achieved full coverage, and the life-saving magic props of Hammerstone were all "eaten" by Vikz, in this case, Hammerstone had to give up the idea of hooking Rhodes and turned around to dodge.
It was by relying on the hammerstone dodge that Rod got rid of the limitations of space and out of the scope of Vikz's line of sight.
Although Vikz is a void creature, he has been slipped around for a long time and gradually developed an emotion called "impatience" - when firing the decomposition ray, Vikz's turning speed is very slow, so he can only watch Rod slip away, and he can't shine the decomposition ray on Rode's body.
Now that he saw that he had a helper, he chose to retreat because of two small fireballs...... Vicz met Rod's fireball with his gaze with some dissatisfaction.
The decomposition ray easily broke up those fireballs of Rod, and then Vikz demonstratively disintegrated a small pit at the foot of the hammerstone.
"Catch him, or I'll break you down."
The natural tone made Hammerstone quite unhappy - but in the case that he was not an opponent at all, Hammerstone still chose to be obedient.
You've got big eyes, and you're up to the cracks, okay?
Hammerstone aimed at Rhodes again, swinging his hook and lock.
Rhodes raised his hand again, as if to release the fireball, but Hammerstone didn't choose to dodge.
Vikz was one step ahead and ready to prepare for the defense of his temporary men.
However, they guessed wrong.
Rod didn't continue to cast spells on his own, but flashed and slipped away for the first time.
Just when Hammerstone was about to hook again, Rhodes was directly calm, and the spell was instantly shot.
This time, Rod's spell wasn't a fireball, but a fireblast.
Rhodes' goal was not hammerstone either, but Karthas.
