Rhodes stared at the vampire not far away. During this observation process, Rhodes seemed to have discovered something.
The vampire had just regained its shape and immediately rushed towards Rhodes. Since there were injured undead creatures all around, Rhodes did not let them surround the vampire, but faced the vampire from the front.
In the field, the silhouettes of Rhodes and the vampires intertwined, and the swords and claws kept colliding, making the sound of gold and iron. For a time, Rhodes relied on his expert swordsmanship and good attributes to fight on a par with vampires.
As the battle progressed and he experienced it personally, Rhodes understood the attributes of the vampire in front of him.
Among third-level creatures, vampire attributes are balanced, and there are no obvious weaknesses in strength, speed, or physique. Coupled with its ability to transform into a bat and the characteristics of undead creatures, it generally focuses more on survivability and the ability to deal with large groups of low-level enemies. Therefore, Rhodes cannot be quickly eliminated with moves alone.
For the current Rhodes, it is difficult to deal with opponents who focus on a certain attribute. For enemies with balanced attributes such as vampires, when none of the attributes enter the elite stage, Rhodes can rely on expert swordsmanship to deal with them. .
Although there is a gap in basic attributes, Rhodes' expert swordsmanship uses skills to make up for the lack of attributes.
Rhodes also gained some understanding of the damage that vampires can cause by observing the injuries of undead creatures. Rhodes believed that if a vampire grabbed his neck, he would be able to kill him instantly.
To deal with vampires, Rhodes' fighting method mainly relies on counterattacks and distance control. He uses his sword to parry the vampire's claws and dodges flexibly to prevent the vampire from attacking him.
At this time, the effect of expert swordsmanship was brought to its extreme. The vampire could not get close to Rhodes with moves alone. Instead, Rhodes opened multiple wounds on the vampire's body.
However, at this time, Rhodes' face did not look as relaxed as when he had the upper hand, but instead became more solemn.
Although the vampire's combat experience is not comparable to that of Rhodes, who has expert swordsmanship, it exceeds all of Rhodes' enemies so far.
Whenever Rhodes wanted to attack the vampire's vital points, the vampire could either dodge or directly rely on his powerful physical attributes to forcefully attack Rhodes.
Rhodes naturally would not exchange injuries with the vampire, so he could only give up the opportunity to attack.
At the same time, Rhodes also realized that with this fighting method, every attack he made would only leave a very shallow wound on the vampire. The shallow wounds he left had little impact on the vampire's high physical attributes, but made the vampire even more violent.
It’s not like the surrounding undead creatures did nothing. Under Rhodes' control, whenever a vampire wants to directly receive Rhodes' attack and attack Rhodes, the surrounding undead creatures will immediately step forward.
The zombies stood beside Rhodes to resist the damage, while the corpse wolves took the opportunity to attack the vampires.
However, this also makes Rhodes control fewer and fewer undead creatures. Neither walking zombies nor corpse wolves can withstand the full force of a vampire's claws.
Watching the undead creatures around him die one by one, Rhodes began to feel anxious, but when he thought of ways to deal with vampires, he knew that he still had to wait for the opportunity...
Originally, the vampire only needed to transform into bats twice to deal with all the undead creatures around him, and then he could directly attack Rhodes. However, because he had used bat transformation too many times in the tomb beforehand, the limit on the number of times allowed the vampire to fight with only basic attributes.
Gradually, more and more wounds appeared on the vampire's body, but they were obviously minor injuries. The characteristics of undead creatures meant that the vampire's combat power would not be weakened by these wounds. Rhodes did not attack the vampire's real vital point even once.
The vampire swung his claw at Rhodes, and Rhodes raised his sword blade to block the attack. Unexpectedly, the vampire directly turned his grasp into a palm, regardless of the possible damage caused by the blade, and grabbed it into his hand, and at the same time swung the other claw towards Rhodes.
At this time, except for the Corpse Wolf King who survived a vampire attack and was seriously injured, there were not many undead creatures left around him.
The vampire took advantage of this and wanted to hit Rhodes hard with a single blow while there was no interference from the surrounding undead creatures.
Rich combat experience allows vampires to understand that even if human flesh and blood is superior to themselves in skills, they cannot beat themselves physically. As long as the human in front of you can be seriously injured in this way, you can kill them afterwards.
"coming… "
Rhodes' eyes narrowed, and he obviously understood the vampire's thoughts, but at the same time, this was also the opportunity that Rhodes had been waiting for.
Except for waking up the corpse wolf at the beginning and lighting the torch later, Rhodes' mana was never consumed again. Rhodes' remaining mana could only release two spells.
Rhodes did not choose attribute-related spells. Even if he uses magic to temporarily improve the basic attributes, Rhodes will not be able to kill the vampire within the duration. Moreover, the vampire can also use bat transformation. Rhodes does not think that the vampire will consume all the times of bat transformation.
Rhodes chose the magic arrow that could change the situation of the battle. In the previous battle, Rhodes understood that even if the magic arrow hits a vampire, it will only cause slight damage if it does not hit the vital point.
Therefore, the use of magic arrows requires Rhodes to find a good opportunity.
The weapon in his hand was grabbed by the vampire. Seeing the vampire's claw coming up, Rhodes not only did not hide, but raised his other hand towards the vampire in front of him.
A bright light quickly formed in Rhode's hand. While the vampire was attacking, there was no protection for the body, and the bright light shot towards the vampire in front.
Magic arrow!
Vampires have very few vitals. High-level vampires can continue fighting for a while even if they are beheaded.
But for vampires who are only at the third level, they obviously do not have such ability, and the head is the most important part.
Therefore, facing the vampire with his whole body wide open, Rhodes' magic arrow pointed at the place that can cause the most damage, the vampire's head.
The vampire grabbed Rhode's neck with one claw. Just as his sharp claws penetrated it and was about to tear out the flesh, Rhode's magic arrow also hit the vampire's head!
The spell was cast at close range, causing the vampire's head to be directly penetrated by the magic arrow, and blood mist burst out in front of Rhodes' eyes. The fatal injury caused the vampire to lose strength in holding Rhodes' hand.
The vampire's strong vitality prevents it from dying even if its head is penetrated.
Rhodes took advantage of the victory to pursue him and was about to stab him with his sword. The vampire's body split open and a large cloud of black mist exploded in front of Rhodes.
