After escaping the attack of the water element, the bats gathered on the shore. As a burst of black mist surged past, the vampire's body reappeared.
When the vampire left the pool, the ice spikes on the water melted quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the water surface completely returned to calm, with only slight fluctuations occurring on the water surface. If it weren't for the battle that had broken out before, people would even doubt whether there were any living things in the pool.
While the vampire was trying to attack the water element, Rhodes did not approach the shore, but observed from the sidelines.
Looking at this scene, Rhodes seemed to realize something.
Rhodes knew that the Elf Spring must be hidden somewhere under the pool. If you want to obtain the Elf Spring, you must first kill the water element guarding here.
Although there is only one water element here, its difficulty is obviously beyond Rhodes' expectation.
In this environment, it is difficult for Rhodes' undead creatures to cause any harm to the water element, but the water element's spells can easily deal with the surrounding undead creatures.
The most powerful undead creature currently controlled by Rhodes is the Bone Dragon, but in this environment, the Bone Dragon is completely unable to come here and will have no effect on the battle Rhodes faces.
Rhodes realized that if he wanted to defeat the water element in front of him, he still needed to rely on his existing strength.
For the water element, casting spells does not consume mana. It only needs to wait for a short recovery before it can release the spell again. Therefore, the consumption tactics of conventional mages are completely meaningless for it.
Rhodes looked at the injured centaur undead around him and realized that there might be only one chance to defeat the water element.
Thinking of this, Rhodes quickly released death energy around him. As Rhodes' mana dropped, rich death energy instantly filled all the space inside.
The only entrance and exit to the space is the illusion wall that Rhodes passed through. Under the action of this wall, all the death energy was sealed within this space, and not a trace could escape.
The purpose of Rhodes releasing the death energy is to allow the other undead creatures around him to absorb it and restore his own injuries.
Due to being an elemental creature, the water elemental who was hiding at the bottom of the pool immediately felt the rich death energy around him, and immediately felt a burst of anger in his heart.
No matter what kind of elemental creature they are, they all have an instinctive dislike for undead creatures. For them, there is an essential difference between the energy of death and the energy that makes up their bodies.
At this time, feeling the gathering of death energy, the water element did not continue to hide, but rose directly from the water, then waved its arms and once again burst out a large number of ice arrows in the direction of Rhodes.
Facing the ice arrows coming straight at him, Rhodes did not choose to let the surrounding undead creatures dodge, but instead let them rush directly towards the water element.
Rhodes knew that he could not compare with the water element through consumption alone, so he could only attack the water element first while the surrounding undead creatures still had good combat effectiveness.
With the water element occupying the advantage of the terrain, for Rhodes at this time, only in this way can he have a chance to kill the water element here, otherwise he will wait until all the centaur undead around him die and lose the undead. After gaining a numerical advantage, Rhodes could only choose to leave.
Ice arrows slashed through the bodies of these undead centaurs, and many undead centaurs fell in the charge. But more undead centaurs have rushed to the edge of the pool.
Facing the surrounding undead creatures, the water element repeated its old tricks and dived into the water again. As soon as the surrounding undead creatures stepped into the pool, the water element would launch an attack.
During the previous battle, the vampire fell into the pool, and Rhodes also learned some information about the pool. Rhodes understood that the pool as a whole was not deep. Compared to the centaur's tall body, the pool was only Can submerge up to half of their bodies.
The water element also understood Rhode's intention. Since a burst of ice arrows had just erupted, facing a large number of undead creatures, the water element did not choose to attack for a while, but continued to lurk underwater.
For a moment, although the undead creature stepped into the pool, there was no trace of the water element at all.
Rhodes knew that he had to make a quick decision. Facing the water element hidden in the water, the perception of the undead creatures is greatly limited, and they can only rely on luck to search. Only the centaur leader and the vampire seemed to have sensed something and were looking in the same direction.
In an instant, at Rhodes' signal, all the surrounding centaur undead rushed towards this position.
At this time, a large number of ice spikes suddenly appeared under the water, stabbing at these undead centaurs. Facing the attack from the bottom of the water, these undead centaurs were completely unable to resist, and a large number of undead centaurs died in an instant.
Upon discovering this situation, Rhodes understood that he could not wait any longer. The undead creatures around him alone could not deal with the water element here.
If Rhodes masters expert-level water magic, he only needs to use water-bending magic on his undead creatures to gain a certain advantage, but Rhodes has not mastered this special skill.
The surroundings were pitch black, and the torch in Rhode's hand could only illuminate the position above the water. Rhode had no idea what was going on underwater.
In this environment, Rhodes' perception was greatly restricted. Even if he could vaguely determine the location of the water element, he still had no way to attack it.
Therefore, Rhodes could only choose the last method.
Rhodes, who was standing on the shore, raised his hand and unleashed Death Ripple with all his strength, attacking the water element hidden underwater.
Under the impact of the death ripples, even the water element hidden under the water has no way to escape the damage of the death ripples.
For Rhodes, using a range spell like Death Ripple to attack a water element creature is obviously a waste of mana. But Rhodes has no better attack method. Even though this method consumes a lot of mana, it can cause a lot of damage to the water element.
As the surrounding centaurs slowly died, Rhodes' originally occupied spiritual attributes were also returned, and the damage of the spells cast by Rhodes was also increased.
Under the continuous erosion of the death ripples, the water element's health dropped rapidly.
Compared with the water element's spellcasting ability, its health has obviously become a weakness. Due to the large loss of health in the body, it is difficult for the water element to cast any spells for a while.
