Chapter 78 Burning the Mansion
After checking the attributes of this pendant, Rhodes took [Dark Asylum] on his body.
Because the current Rhodes is still only second-order, and the rank is still swordsman, which does not belong to the occupation of the cemetery series, therefore, although this pendant is on his body, Rhodes did not get any hints, nor did he have any perception. Comes, apparently can't use it yet.
However, Rhodes is not worried. Due to the influence of spiritualism, all the ranks that Rhodes can choose from when he advances are locked in the cemetery department. Even if Rhodes wants to choose other departments, he cannot do it.
At this time, Rhodes turned his attention to the magic book of the necromancer.
Rhodes quickly turned the magic book to the back. Because Rhodes did not get any spells in the mayor's internal study, at this time, Rhodes wanted to confirm the situation of the magic book.
After reading for a while, Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. There was a lot of magic recorded in the magic book, and Rhodes quickly read it.
"By reading the magic book, you learned the second-order spells [Fire Wall] and [Fire Ball]."
"[Fire Wall Lv1]: Second-order fire magic. Consumes 12 mana, ignites a wall of fire to cause damage to passing creatures, and the basic damage of the wall of fire is 20 points, and lasts for 30 seconds. The experience required to upgrade is 40."
"[Fireball Lv1]: Second-order fire magic. Consumes 14 mana, releases a fireball to attack the enemy, with a basic damage of 25 points. The experience required to upgrade is 20."
In the magic book, except for these two spells, the rest are magics that Rhodes had mastered before.
Rhodes put the corpse of the necromancer in place and ignored it for the time being. Rhodes currently has more important things to deal with.
Before arriving at the mansion, the interior of the mansion was full of flames, and the flames almost engulfed the entire mansion. Before Rhodes approached the mansion, he felt a heat wave.
The flames continued to burn, and it didn't take long before the top floor of the mayor's mansion began to collapse.
As the top floor collapsed, the flames inside the mansion appeared directly in front of Rhodes, and thick smoke rose into the sky from the collapsed position.
At this time, although part of the mansion collapsed, the fire had not spread completely, and Rhode was not in a hurry, so he just waited outside the mansion.
If the flames are not stopped, the entire interior of the mansion will be burned to the ground, and even the bone vines will not be spared. This is the method that Rhodes used to deal with the bone vines.
With his own undead creature, Rhode just watched as the mansion was gradually engulfed by flames.
Not long after, as the fire further expanded, there was finally movement in the mansion.
Due to the collapse of many parts of the mansion, the room where the bone vine was located was also affected.
The ceiling of the room where the bone vine was located cracked, and the flaming wood blocks fell from the top floor of the room one after another.
The wooden blocks fell into the interior of the room, and there were many flames attached to them. In order to avoid burning inside the room, Bone Vine needed to dispose of these wooden blocks.
A rattan stretched out, rolled up the wooden block, and then threw it into the original passage.
The rattan was covered in flames as a result of touching the wooden block. After throwing the wooden block, the rattan slapped against the original position of the wooden block one after another, and then extinguished the flame on the rattan.
Although this rattan put out the flames, the originally gray-white rattan was now covered with black marks, and it was obviously difficult to continue to use it.
The entire mansion is collapsing, and there are such wooden blocks everywhere. Although the bone vines have finished processing them, they also lost a few vines.
At this moment, a huge stone fell and pressed on a rattan that could not dodge. A rattan on the side quickly rolled it up, trying to press the stone into the gap above his head.
Bonevine apparently wanted to use this move to let the stone block the crack in the ceiling caused by the collapse of the top floor of the mansion.
Just after the rattan rolled up the stone, the wood block with flames fell again and hit the rattan. The flame was burning on this rattan, but the bone rattan ignored it and still let the rattan exert force, trying to block the crack on the head.
The stone was pressed in the gap by the rattan, but because it could not be fixed, and the weight of the stone itself continued to skew, because the strength of a single rattan could not be done, the bone rattan stretched out a lot. A rattan, trying to press the block into the gap.
I don't know if it was because of the flames or the mansion itself, but because the bone vines forced the stones to block the gap, the gap became even bigger.
At the crack, some burning wood blocks fell.
At this time, the flames in the passage had already burned to the room where the bone vines were, and the bone vines had nothing to do. Facing so many flames, the bone vines had nothing to do.
Outside the mansion, Rhodes heard the sound from inside and knew that the bone vine had been injured a lot due to the flames.
In front of Rhodes, the gate of the mansion fell to the side because it could not withstand the burning of the flames, and the door was burnt to black.
Rhodes understood that in the face of such a big fire, the bone vines could not last for long.
For a creature like Bone Vine, although its strength is relatively strong among creatures of the same rank, it also has many disadvantages due to its own limitations.
At this time, the bone vine was being burned by the flames, but Rhode did not show a relaxed expression at all. Rhode knew that if he wanted to get experience points, he had to kill the bone vine himself.
Although Rhodes set the mayor's mansion on fire, it didn't mean that Rhodes could get the experience points of burning creatures with flames.
Fire has no specific source of damage. If the bone vine is burned to death by fire, Rhodes will not get any experience points.
At this time, the flames caused the entire mansion to burn, but Rhodes was not in a hurry, but waited for the action of the bone vine.
After swallowing the mayor, the strength of the bone vine has been improved again, so the bone vine will not be burned to death in a short time. No matter what kind of creature it is, it will struggle frantically before dying, not to mention bone vines.
Rhodes is waiting for the moment when the bone vine is struggling with all his strength.
In Rhodes' perception, there has always been a special vibration on the ground. This vibration came from the inside of the mansion and spread all the way to Rhodes' feet.
Time passed slowly, and in Rhode's sight, due to the burning of the flames and the fierce struggle of the bone vines inside, the originally tall mansion collapsed, and the entire top floor seemed to be shattered, revealing the internal flames.
Rhode took a few steps back with the undead creature to avoid being hit by falling wood and stones.
Since the entire top of the mansion was almost vacant, after taking a few steps back, Rhodes also saw the rattan waving wildly above the mansion by the surrounding firelight.
At this time, inside the mansion, the bone vines let all the vines resist the collapsed objects and extinguish the flames around them. The vines swayed strongly, forming the scene that Rhodes had seen before.
Until now, Rhodes was still waiting.
Although it seems that the scene of the bone vine at this time is very unfavorable, Rhode knows that the actual fighting ability of the bone vine has not been reduced much. Once he comes to the bone vine, he will be directly killed by the bone vine. Time to start.
Therefore, Rhode has to wait for a while, and only when the bone vine is weakest will Rhode enter and kill the bone vine.
Currently, Rhodes has a total of 7 mana points.
After the battle with the mayor, the search for the mansion, and the process of waiting for the flames to burn, Rhode relied on his own mana to recover, coupled with the enhanced effect of the magic talisman, because a lot of time had passed, making Rhode's Mana recovered a bit.
Although Rhodes used a few mana to ignite the flame, there was still some mana left. The mana at this time was enough for Rhodes to release a thaumaturgy against himself.
For the fire spells cast by the wizard, thaumaturgy can reduce the damage caused by the spell and prevent the fire from burning on the body.
As for ordinary flames, the thaumaturgy can produce extremely good effects and can completely block it. Since the flames cannot burn on Rhodes, as long as Rhodes kills the bone vines before the end of the fire thaumaturgy, he will not suffer much damage.
However, Rhodes has only one chance to use the thaumaturgy. If Rhodes does not kill the bone vines within the duration of the thaumaturgy, then this opportunity will be lost forever.
Therefore, Rhodes needs to choose an excellent shot timing.
As for handing over the chance to the vampire, Rhodes also thought about it, but at this critical moment, Rhodes worried that the vampire might not know the situation, and planned to take the shot himself.
In the room where the bone vine was located, the rattan used the falling stones to form a barrier, trying to prevent the flame from burning in this way.
As the entire mansion began to collapse, the stones above fell one after another, and the seemingly good defense formed by the accumulation of bone vines did not achieve any effect at this time, and collapsed to the side.
No way, Bone Vine had to shoot these flames out. The flames burned in from the cracks on the head of the bone vine. Under the influence of the flame, a lot of the vines were burnt to black, and the bone vine had lost a lot of health.
If the mayor is still beside Bone Vine, just one fire thaumaturgy can make Bone Vine completely unafraid of the surrounding flames. At that time, whether it is to extinguish the flames or directly create a barrier, it will be nothing to Bone Vine. question.
The vitality of the bone vine is tenacious, even in such a situation, it still does not give up, and still uses the cane to beat the flames on the surrounding objects, trying to extinguish the surrounding flames.
But because the fire was too large, all the objects around the bone vine, plus the walls upstairs that had not completely collapsed, were still burning.
These actions of the bone vine cannot affect the burning mansion. Since the bone vine could not leave this place, and it was inside one of the rooms, it was doomed to die under the flames.
As the flames burned, the entire mansion collapsed further. At this time, in Rhode's perception, the movement of the rattan inside the mansion seemed to stop and did not continue to struggle.
The sound originally made by the rattan flapping the flames completely disappeared at this time, and even the vibrations no longer sounded at this time.
Outside the mansion, Rhodes sensed all this, but he did nothing and just waited outside the mansion.
Rhodes knew that undead creatures similar to bone vines, with the enhancement of their strength, have initially acquired self-awareness. Although their intelligence is not high, after having experienced battles with themselves before, bone vines knew whether there were any enemies. Appear.
At this moment, the vibration inside the mansion completely stopped. Although it stopped, it stopped directly without any warning, and Rhode noticed a lot of abnormalities.
Rhode realized that the bone vine stopped moving just to draw him out.
Therefore, Rhodes was still waiting outside the mansion.
It didn't take long for the vibrations to spread from the inside of the mansion again.
As the roof of the mansion collapsed as a whole, in Rhodes' sight, the rattan swayed wildly in the air, then got close to the walls around the mansion, and tried to push down the entire mansion from the center.
However, due to the lack of strength of the bone vine, and the fact that the flame has been burning the vine that is exerting force, the bone vine eventually failed.
The rattan retracted towards the inside, and then started to beat the surrounding flames again. The vibration from it was obviously much smaller, far less than at the beginning.
At this point, Rhode knew that it was time to take action.
Applying the thaumaturgy to himself, Rhode rushed towards the interior of the mansion from the gate.
Crossing the rocks on the ground caused by the collapse, Rhode moved forward quickly, and the flames appeared at Rhode's feet, but they could only burn outside the black robe and could not cause any damage to Rhode.
Due to the limited duration of the fire thaumaturgy, Rhodes could not delay for a moment. After entering the mansion, Rhode quickly rushed out of the room where the bone vine was located.
At this time, Rhodes found that the original passage had been completely blocked by the collapsed objects, and Rhodes could not enter through here, so he could only find another direction.
Rhodes rushed towards the second floor quickly. At this time, the duration of the fire thaumaturgy has passed a small half.
Sweat was left on Rhodes' head. Even though the scorching of the flames was isolated, Rhodes still felt a scorching heat from the heat generated inside the mansion because he was in the fire.
The heat wave spread inside the mansion, and even Rhodes who had applied the thaumaturgic technique couldn't bear the heat, let alone the bone vines in the room.
Rhodes quickly came to the stairs on the second floor and went upstairs quickly. The originally intact staircase was crumbling at this time, and it was covered with flames.
There were falling stones everywhere at Rhodes feet, but Rhodes ignored them at all.
At this moment, a flaming wooden block fell from the top of Rhodes' head, and Rhodes dodged to the side. While dodging, he kept walking and continued to rush in one direction.
Originally, when exploring the entire mansion, Rhodes roughly compared the overall situation of the mansion. Rhodes also knew the corresponding locations of the rooms upstairs and downstairs. Therefore, the location where Rhodes rushed was exactly the same as before. Obtain the room of the Revenant Crystal.
During this process, Rhodes, who was inside the mansion, saw that the top of the original mansion had collapsed a lot at this time. He was on the second floor and could directly see the starlight above his head.
Coming to the location of the room, through the big hole that collapsed here, Rhodes saw the bone vine downstairs at a glance.
Right at Rhode's feet, the original rattan was slapped weakly at the surrounding flames, but it didn't play a big role.
In Rhodes' line of sight, the wall on which the bone vine was originally leaning had collapsed, causing the body of the bone vine to be exposed. The bone vine pushed the surrounding stones around, but to no avail.
On the side, a large number of rocks produced by the collapse were pressed on the surrounding rattan, and together with the surrounding flames, the bone rattan at this time had no way to deal with it, but just fell here and waited to die.
At this time, Rhodes' thaumaturgy was about to end, so Rhodes stopped waiting, took out the iron sword from the space ring, and jumped directly at the bone vine.
The blade pierced into the body of the bone vine, instantly killing the bone vine.
