Chapter 60 Battle

Chapter 60

Rhodes stood still and looked back, the vampire was fighting the ghost.

The vampire attacked for a while, but the ghost quickly floated at a low altitude to dodge, and the attack that couldn't be avoided was blocked with a bone arm.

The appearance of the upper body of the ghost is similar to that of the skeleton soldier. It is a body made of human bones, but there is nothing under the body. The hem of the cloth robe is empty, and the lower part of the entire body has no actual shape. Because of this, the ghost has the ability to fly, but it can only float at a position not high from the ground, and cannot fly at high altitudes.

The ghost is an advancement of the second-order creature ghost. The advanced creatures will not only have more basic attributes than the pre-advanced basic creatures, but also master some special skills.

Neither vampires nor ghosts were affected by the dim light around them when they fought at full strength.

Except for the first attack on Rhodes, the ghost did not take the initiative to attack. In the face of vampire attacks, the ghost is more dodging.

The vampire stuck out a claw, and the ghost flew a certain distance upside down, dodging the vampire's attack. The vampire rushed towards the ghost again, trying to grab the body of the ghost from behind, but the ghost directly raised its hand and slapped the vampire's arm aside.

Since the speed attribute is not very different, the vampire's attack cannot achieve much effect in a short period of time. The same is a third-order creature, even if the overall strength of the vampire is stronger than that of the ghost, there is no way to kill it quickly.

Even if the ghost did not evade the vampire's attack and was hit by the vampire sometimes, the part where it was hit immediately turned dark, and then it seemed as if nothing had happened, but could take this opportunity to fight back against the vampire.

In the previous battle with the Blue Run Master, the vampire's claws were broken many times. Even if the physical injuries can be recovered, the claws, which are offensive weapons, cannot be recovered in a short time, and can only wait for the passage of time to let it go. self-recovery.

Although it surpassed the ghosts in overall basic attributes, the strength of the vampires has dropped a lot compared to before because of the loss of the sharp claws that they rely on to fight.

During the battle with the ghosts, the vampires attacked one after another without achieving any effect. The vampire became a little impatient, and wanted to choose the method of bat transformation, and let the bat rush directly to the ghost. Since the ghost does not have any range attack skills, the damage that can be caused basically depends on the swung arms, and it is difficult to deal with the bats produced by vampire bats.

However, just when the vampire wanted to transform into a bat, Rhode stopped the vampire and let the vampire keep the number of times of bat transformation, instead of letting the vampire use the bat transformation immediately.

Rhode observed the posture of the ghost, and the ghost did not think about fighting with the vampire. Even if the vampire uses bat transformation now, the ghost does not need to deal with these bats, and only needs to quickly flee around.

In the previous battle, although Rhodes took out the blade from the space ring, he did not help the vampires to attack the ghost together, but kept on guard.

Due to the shading of black clouds, the surrounding light was very dim, and it was almost difficult for Rhodes to see the surrounding scenery. These black clouds in the sky restricted Rhodes' perception. Originally, he could cover a large range of perception, but now he can only cover the vicinity of the hotel.

Even so, because Rhodes has spiritism and is extremely sensitive to the energy of death, he still perceives that there are many undead creatures around.

These undead creatures slowly gathered around while the vampires and the ghosts were fighting, but they didn't attack. Instead, they surrounded Rhode and the vampires as if they were waiting for an opportunity.

Because he didn't know the location of the manipulators behind these undead creatures, Rhodes also did not move, and just focused on finding the necromancers that might be lurking around.

At this time, in Rhode's perception, there are more and more undead creatures around. As if knowing that the surrounding undead creatures were ready, the ghost let out a scream after dodging an attack from the vampire.

Suddenly, these undead creatures that Rhode sensed moved, and they rushed towards Rhodes at the same time.

Rhodes swung out a sword and slashed at the undead creature closest to him, forcing it back. Due to the proximity of the undead creatures, Rhodes could clearly see the appearance of these enemies through the surrounding light.

Most of these enemies around are dressed like the ghosts, but they are not as strong as ghosts. They should be second-order undead creatures, ghosts. In addition, there are some ordinary walking corpses, and there are no third-order creatures like the previous ghosts.

Seeing that the surrounding enemies were all surrounded, and the trace of the necromancer was still not found, Rhodes no longer kept his hand.

Rhode gave an order to the vampire through the spiritual imprint, and then raised his hand. An ice ring centered on Rhode spread rapidly towards the surroundings. All the undead creatures around were injured by the ice ring, and because of the ice With the impact of the ring, these undead creatures were repelled one after another.

The vampire on the side, after receiving the order from the spiritual imprint, saw Rhodes release the ice ring, so he chose to transform into a bat, and his entire body turned into a black mist.

At the moment when the vampire bat transformation was completed, an ice ring rushed past. Since the vampire had just entered the bat transformation state, the bat had not yet appeared, and was not affected by this spell. The ice ring was directly formed by the vampire bat transformation. Black fog. And the ghost behind was hit by the ice ring because there was no defense.

Since the place where the vampire and the ghost were fighting was far away from Rhodes, although this ice ring hit the ghost, it only gave it a shock and did not cause much damage to it.

In the black fog, the bat rushed out at the ghost, and the ghost quickly adjusted the body that was hit by the ice ring, dodged directly to the side, and did not give the bat a chance to get close to him.

At this time, the undead creatures around Rhodes were too close to bear the damage of this ice magic ring. Although they could not be killed by a single ice magic ring, it also affected them. caused some damage.

Taking advantage of the moment when the ice magic ring was just released, the surrounding undead creatures were shocked and unstable, Rhodes rushed up with his sword and began to quickly attack these undead creatures.

Rhodes did not choose to release magic again, in order to save mana to deal with special situations. According to Rhodes' idea, if you want to kill these undead creatures around you with the ice magic ring alone, you need to release at least three or four times. Rhode is obviously not willing to spend his mana to kill ordinary undead creatures.

The nearest ghost beside Rhodes, because of the impact of the ice magic ring, the whole body was rushed back. Due to the fact that it can float, although there is some damage on the body, the ghost adjusts its state in an instant, and just wants to find the enemy in front of him, but only sees a blade that quickly slashes towards him.

The ghost hurriedly dodged, trying to fall backwards to avoid this attack. However, due to the previous impact, the ghost failed to act immediately, the blade caught up with the ghost trying to dodge, and accurately cut off its exposed cervical vertebra.

In an instant, the entire body of the ghost lost its strength, could no longer float, and fell from the air to the ground. All that was left on the ground was the cloth robe and the dead bones it wrapped.

After killing the ghost, Rhodes did not stop, immediately turned to the next nearest undead creature on the side, and swung his sword at it.

The undead creature that Rhodes was about to attack was just an ordinary walking corpse. Even if the walking corpse was in good condition, Rhodes didn't need much effort to kill it, not to mention that the walking corpse was also hit by a spell.

Rhodes beheaded the walking corpse with one sword, and then locked on the next target again.

At this time, the impact effect brought by the ice magic ring has subsided, and the surrounding undead creatures recovered again and began to rush towards Rhodes.

Rhodes was not afraid at all, and without waiting for the undead creatures around him to rush to his side, Rhodes took the lead in rushing towards the undead creatures closest to him.

As the battle progressed, Rhode found that the dim light around him did not have any effect on his swordsmanship. Even if the surrounding ghosts wanted to take advantage of the dark environment to make a sneak attack, Rhodes could react in time. Instead, taking advantage of the opportunity of their surprise attack, he severely injured them with a sword.

After rising to the expert level, Rhode's swordsmanship has not been improved, but the improvement of basic attributes has enabled the originally good swordsmanship to exert stronger power.

When the basic attribute is not high, Rhode's expert-level swordsmanship can help him deal with enemies with powerful attributes, and when Rhode's basic attribute is no longer a weakness, the true strength of expert-level swordsmanship can be revealed, and Rhode does not need to think about how to get out. Sword, just need to follow your own instinct, you can easily deal with these undead creatures in front of you.

Low-level special skills can only cope with crises for a period of time. If they are not improved, they will inevitably become less useful due to the improvement of overall strength. No matter it is any kind of special skill, as long as it reaches the expert level, it will have this unique use and will not be eliminated with the improvement of strength. A large part of what determines the strength of high-level professionals comes from the number of expert-level special skills.

Rhodes quickly cleaned up the undead creatures around. When there were only a few undead creatures around, the vampires also joined in to help Rhodes kill these undead creatures around.

Rhodes fought with vampires. These low-level undead creatures had no room for resistance and could only be cleaned up one by one.

It didn't take long for these undead creatures around to be cleaned up, leaving only the debris on the ground.

When all the undead creatures around were destroyed, Rhodes also began to question the vampires.

Rhodes remembered that the vampires were fighting with the ghosts at the beginning. According to Rhodes' estimation, even if the ghosts fought the vampires with all their strength, in a short period of time, the two of them would not be able to win or lose.

Rhodes remembered that the characteristic of ghosts is that they can recover their own health over time. This characteristic of ghosts is extremely effective when facing creatures whose attributes are not as good as theirs. But in the face of Rhodes, who are far stronger than them and can kill them with one blow, this feature does not seem to have much effect. Rhodes can directly kill the ghosts.

As a ghost advanced ghost, this feature of recovering injuries has been further strengthened. Although it cannot restore broken limbs, relying on this feature, in addition to damage to body parts, the damage received by the ghost can be recovered. , so it is extremely difficult to deal with.

Through the situation of the vampire in the spiritual imprint, Rhodes learned that the ghost did not choose to fight the vampire, but retreated directly into the darkness. The vampire also seemed to feel something. Instead of chasing the retreating ghost, he chose to return to Rhodes and deal with the surrounding undead creatures with Rhodes.

During the battle, Rhodes deliberately saved mana in order to deal with the necromancers that might be lurking around him. According to Rhodes' idea, if the necromancers around him did not take action against him, they would probably choose to attack vampires and would not let him kill the undead creatures he controlled.

Rhode's target was placed on the hidden necromancer from the beginning. He wanted to wait until he was exposed before trying to kill him. If he had been hiding in the dark, it would be difficult for Rhode to have a way to kill him. find out.

What Rhode did not expect was that even if all these undead creatures died, the hidden necromancer did not appear.

Rhode recalled the situation when he first encountered the ghost. He was meditating inside the hotel, but when he came outside, he was attacked by the ghost. After the vampire and the ghosts fought for a while, the rest of the undead creatures gathered here.

Rhodes realized that these undead creatures should have nothing to do with the mayor. It is extremely easy for the mayor to find out his movements in the town. If the mayor intends to attack him at night, the moment he walks out of the hotel, he will be surrounded by the mayor's undead creatures. , instead of like this, when you find yourself, the undead creatures around you are starting to gather.

Looking at the remains of these undead creatures on the ground, Rhodes was a little uncertain about his previous judgment.

Among the undead creatures previously killed, the number of walking corpses was not very large, but more were second-order ghosts. After killing this group of undead creatures, Rhodes got a total of 440 experience points.

Although the combat power of this group of undead creatures is not very good, the experience provided has not been reduced in any way. At the same time, it also shows that Rhodes' strength has improved to a certain extent. It may still be difficult to defeat third-order creatures head-on, but there is absolutely no problem with dealing with ordinary second-order creatures.

Seeing that the experience value has reached the level of upgrading, Rhodes opened the attribute panel.

"Consumes 600 experience points, and the remaining experience points are 130. The occupation level is raised to the second-order swordsman level 7..."

"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."

Thinking of the next battle, Rhodes did not allocate the points obtained through the upgrade, but waited until the critical moment to use them.

Leading the vampire, Rhode chose to go to the mayor's mansion again to find out.
