Seeing the vampire continue to rush towards him, Rhodes quickly controlled the undead creature next to him and moved closer to the vampire.
The vampire rushed to Rhodes' side. Rhodes raised his sword with his backhand and collided with the vampire's sharp claws.
Taking advantage of the vampire's opportunity to attack him, Rhodes commanded the undead creatures beside him. On the edge, the nearest corpse wolf jumped up under the control of Rhodes, preparing to bite the vampire not far away.
The vampire's figure flashed, his claws streaked rapidly in the air, and the corpse wolf's already broken body was broken into two sections. The blood sprinkled on the vampire's face, instead of slowing down its progress, seemed to give it a stimulus, making it even more excited.
The rest of the surrounding undead creatures have also arrived and began to surround the vampire.
In the tomb, Rhodes had always seen the vampire bat in its transformed state, and did not have an intuitive understanding of its own strength. At this time, with the help of the bright light outside the tomb, Rhodes finally saw the vampire's appearance clearly.
The body shape of a vampire is no different from that of a normal person. The original robe became tattered by the erosion of time and the burning of fire, making it difficult to cover its body.
There were traces of burns on its body, especially on its feet, where there were almost no intact areas. But due to its powerful physique, even if it is injured, its mobility will not be affected.
The vampire's hands and face were the areas that Rhodes focused on. The vampire's blood-stained claws and teeth protruding from its mouth are undoubtedly its most powerful weapons.
During a short observation, Rhodes was able to identify the type of vampire in front of him based on its characteristics.
There are two types of vampires. One is the traditional vampire, which is hidden in human city-states everywhere. Even if they are only second level, they still have human appearance, behave like ordinary people, and like to suck human blood, which can be used to improve their level.
Taking advantage of the fact that they have the same appearance as humans, they will secretly establish influence in human city-states, but generally they cannot hide it from the thieves' chamber of commerce in the city. After being discovered, they are often expelled or even tried as heretics.
The other kind of vampire is similar to the vampire in front of Rhodes. Although the body shape is the same as that of humans, it has sharp claws like knives, which are easy to bite and devour prey directly. Generally, it is easy to distinguish.
Also fond of human blood, this kind of vampire will not obtain it secretly like the previous one, but directly kills people as prey and then devours the flesh.
For this reason, this kind of vampire was hunted by all human creatures, and finally had to escape back to their place of origin. Rhodes knew that this location was in Diaene, and that this kind of vampire had a close connection with the necromancer.
It is said that these two vampires have a common ancestor, but there is also a war between the two vampires.
At the moment Rhodes observed, the vampires were already fighting with the surrounding undead creatures.
A zombie grabbed the vampire. The vampire stretched out a claw with his backhand, and the arm brought out an indistinguishable afterimage at high speed. Before the zombie's attack could reach it, he grabbed the zombie's neck and used the sharp weapon in his hand. The claws penetrated deeply into the flesh, then pulled back and grabbed a large piece of flesh.
Half of the zombie's neck disappeared instantly. The huge amount of damage directly extinguished the soul fire of the zombie and fell to the ground.
The vampire did not stop after killing the walking corpse, and continued to grab the corpse wolf underground. The corpse wolf was unable to dodge, and a bloody mouth appeared in its front. The vampire pierced the corpse wolf's neck with another claw, and then a large piece of flesh flew up.
At this time, the surrounding undead creatures gathered around and attacked the vampire one after another. Even if the vampire can easily kill the undead creature, he will be temporarily trapped in the middle. Rhodes also took advantage of the vampire's attack and thrust his sword into its side.
The vampire seemed to have anticipated this situation. Before the undead creatures could attack the vampire, a large cloud of black mist burst out among the undead creatures.
A large swarm of bats emerged from the black mist and pounced directly on the nearest walking corpses and corpse wolves. Because the distance is too close, nearby undead creatures are completely unable to dodge. The bat began to bite madly at the body of the undead creature.
As soon as Rhodes drew his sword, he noticed something was wrong. Before Rhodes could control the undead creatures to retreat, the vampire turned into a bat and pounced on the surrounding undead creatures. In addition, many bats are rushing towards Rhodes.
Rhodes stabbed out with his sword. The bat just wanted to dodge, but Rhodes' sword blade seemed to be locked on the bat in the air. No matter which angle it flew up, Rhodes could make subtle adjustments to the sword in his hand so that the tip of the sword was always facing the bat in front of him.
The bat was pierced by a sword and dissipated directly into a ball of black mist.
To deal with flying creatures like bats, Rhodes chose the stabbing method. The sword in Rhode's hand stabbed out one after another. The blade turned into a sword flower in Rhode's hand, and black mist burst into the air one after another.
Even though Bat had shown strong dodge ability in advance and could avoid weapons swung at it by flying, but facing Rhodes, who has expert swordsmanship, Bat seemed to have lost this ability and could only be beaten by Rhodes. One by one, they were pierced and turned into black mist.
Quickly clearing away the bats flying towards him without any pause, Rhodes felt that the spiritual imprints were weakening one after another. He immediately went to support the undead creatures that fell to the ground and stabbed the bats hanging on them with his sword.
Just when Rhodes picked some bats, the remaining bats retreated directly, paying no attention to the remaining undead creatures.
Looking at the bloodstained undead creatures beside him, Rhodes knew that the undead creatures had suffered heavy losses this time.
Unlike Rhodes, it is difficult for undead creatures to deal with bats, and they all rely on Rhodes' support.
The bat embeds its claws into the walking corpse, and then hangs on the walking corpse, biting the walking corpse with its teeth. Without the help of Rhodes, it would be difficult for the walking corpse to tear the bat off its body by its own strength. If you pull it hard, the only result will be a large piece of flesh and blood removed by the bat's claws.
Many zombies were missing several fingers. The reason was that during the process of pulling off the bat, the bat bit directly at the hand they were pulling. Almost all the walking corpses have blood dripping on their hands.
The situation of the corpse wolf is even worse. It has a low body constitution. After being hung by a bat, it can only rely on rolling on the ground to get the bat to release its claws. But the bat's claws seem to have special barbs, which make it almost impossible to pull them apart once they are hooked on the prey.
The only one that is still intact is probably the undead creature, the Corpse Wolf King. The Corpse Wolf King, who was transformed into an undead creature, showed its powerful physical fitness. In previous battles, Rhodes had seen it leap up many times and accurately bite bats flying in the air.
Bats gathered not far away, and as the black mist surged past, the vampire's figure reappeared.
Looking at the vampire's figure, Rhodes understood deeply that the undead creatures around him could only be used as a cover to slightly contain the powerful vampire. The only one who was really fighting in the front was himself.
