Chapter 9 Assassination

…………

"You try to enter a meditative state..."

"The level of concentration reaches the minimum level of entering meditation, and the perception is successfully contracted..."

"You have successfully entered a state of meditation!"

"Depending on your level of concentration, you are currently in a light meditation state."

"..."

"Meditation is over."

"Based on your performance during the meditation session, your maximum mana has increased by 6. Current mana is 6/6."

"Special feedback cannot be obtained from shallow meditation."

"You got the racing achievement [Beginner]."

"[Beginner]: Successfully perform a meditation. The basic reward is +2. The meditation effect is increased by 10% when wearing it."

…………

After observing the system log, Rhode was overjoyed. In his previous life, Rhodes also obtained the achievement [Beginner], but he did not enjoy the extra rewards brought by racing.

"I remember that the beginner's achievement in the previous life seems to be only +1 spirit, and there is no additional reward after wearing it. Now not only the increased spirit is improved, but also the effect of meditation can be enhanced after wearing it." Rhode recalled for a while.

Comparing with the achievements in memory, Rhode once again realized how high the attributes will be provided by the achievements under the blessing of racing. At the same time, Rhodes also deeply understands how powerful he will become, who can obtain a lot of racing achievements, just with basic attributes.

Shaking his head, Rhode forced himself not to think about the achievements for the time being, and focused his attention on the undead mage apprentices on the ground not far away. With the eagle eye technique, Rhode looked towards the enemy.

Walking in the forefront is a group of skeleton soldiers. The specific number Rhodes did not break down, but there should be more than a dozen. In the middle of the team is a black-robed man on a horse, shrouded in black robes, which is the standard dress for necromancers. This person should be the manipulator of this team of undead, the necromancer apprentice.

The apprentice was flanked by and behind four heavily armed skeleton warriors. At the rear of the team is a dense group of walking corpses. Since the walking corpses are the slowest, they can only limping behind. Rhodes estimated that the apprentice put the large group of walking corpses at the end of the team for this reason.

Rhode observed quietly on the tree. This position was very hidden. As long as the apprentice did not recognize that someone was on the tree and carefully observed it, he would not have found himself.

When the apprentice group approached the tomb a little bit, Rhodes slowed down his breathing to reduce the possibility of any exposure.

…………

All the way back, Elliot was thinking about how he would use so many gold coins after returning to the Necromancer Academy.

First of all, I have to learn all the courses that I couldn’t afford before, such as deep meditation on mystic arts, and then learn some powerful spells. After all these are completed, I will become a first-class necromancer. At that time, whether it is participating in the mainland All kinds of wars in the world, or becoming a big lord of a place, let yourself make a choice...

As Elliot got closer and closer to the tomb he found, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Elliot didn't understand the origin of this feeling, but only knew that this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Before he got close to the tomb, Elliot was shocked and angry to find that his originally sealed exit had been opened again at this time. Elliot clearly remembered that he left after the undead creatures sealed the tomb exit.

Who... Elliot had this thought in his mind.

Elliott first suspected that someone had been here, but this tomb has not been discovered for so long, and it is unlikely that others will discover it by luck alone.

If no one else has been here, then the biggest possibility is that the sleeping undead creature in the tomb has awakened. Elliott came to this conclusion.

Elliot felt it in his mind,

The undead creatures who had originally arranged to be stationed in the passage had all their spiritual imprints disappeared at this time, and they should have all been eliminated.

There was no time to feel sorry for these undead creatures under him. Elote thought for a while on the spot, and told him rationally that he already had the gold coins he needed at this time. Hurry back to the academy.

But there was another voice in Elliot's heart, and he was unwilling to leave like this. There is a sleeping undead creature in the tomb. According to his thoughts, it is most likely that this undead creature has awakened, rather than the tomb being discovered by others.

The undead creature in the tomb had already been reserved by Elote. Elote believed that with the help of this powerful undead creature, he would soon be able to stand out in the academy.

In the end, you still have to go to the depths of the tomb by yourself, and you will know when you see it. Thinking of this, Elliot got off his horse and began to dispatch the undead creatures.

Elliot first sent all the skeleton soldiers to guard around to prevent possible enemies, and then scattered the walking corpses to the outermost perimeter to observe. After arranging the skeleton soldiers and the walking dead, Elliot prepares to enter the passage.

Another bad feeling came, and Elliot was sure that there was something in the passage.

Since he didn't know the specific situation in the passage, Elliot let the two skeleton warriors enter the passage first to see if there were any enemies lurking in the passage.

Skeleton warriors are low-level undead creatures and cannot convey specific information. After confirming that there was no abnormality in the passage, Elote prepared to enter the passage to check in person.

…………

From the tree, Rhodes watched the deployment of the undead mage apprentices to the undead creatures, and he couldn't help but secretly murmured danger.

Before Rhodes thought about lurking in the passage to assassinate him, but considering that there were too many variables in the passage, he gave up this idea. At this time, the necromancer's cautious approach confirmed this. Without this tree, Rhodes couldn't think of any other place to hide.

Rhodes saw that the necromancer apprentice sent two skeleton warriors down the passage. This is undoubtedly good news for Rhodes. What Rhode needs to consider is how to deal with the remaining undead creatures in addition to how to deal with the undead mage apprentice.

Once surrounded by this group of undead creatures, the characteristics of undead creatures that are not afraid of death will be brought into full play. With four skeleton warriors, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to escape.

Fortunately, the apprentice first sent two skeleton warriors to the tomb. Although the number of the remaining undead creatures is extremely large, as long as they are not surrounded, they can end with a little more time.

Rhodes watched the necromancer apprentice walking towards the passage. In order to improve the success rate of the assassination, Rhodes allocated the remaining free attribute points to the speed. The current speed attribute is 9.

Since it is an assassination by jumping from a height, the sharp blade and the impact of gravity can cause great damage. The assassination did not depend on Rhodes' own strength, but on Rhodes' hit rate.

Although it was almost impossible to miss, Rhode allocated the remaining attribute points to speed just in case. In addition to increasing the speed of shot and movement, the speed attribute can also improve one's reaction ability.

The necromancer apprentice came to the entrance of the passage, first looked down, and then stretched out a foot, ready to step into the passage.

At this time, while the apprentice's attention was all focused on the passage, Rhode moved.

I saw Rhode jumping out of the tree trunk five or six meters above the ground, holding the sword in both hands, the sword body pointing downwards. The target pointed by the blade was the necromancer apprentice who had half footed into the tomb.

The apprentice seemed to feel something, turned around and looked at Rhodes, instinctively wanting to avoid this surprise attack from the sky. But it was too late, Rhode's sword had arrived in a flash, and there was still a trace of confusion in the eyes of the necromancer apprentice.

Rhode's sword easily pierced the back of the necromancer apprentice, and pierced diagonally from top to bottom from the top of the spine. Under the blessing of gravity, Rhode didn't even have to exert much effort. He only needed to hold the hilt of the sword with both hands, and the sword body completely disappeared from the back into the apprentice's body.

The blood spurted out with the thrust of the long sword, but it stopped immediately due to the contraction of the muscles. The hot blood splashed on Rhodes' face, which was different from fighting in previous games and killing cold undead in the tomb before. Rhodes could feel a kind of heat from his blood.

A kind of...the heat of life.
