The thief obviously did not expect that the necromancer could react so quickly when facing his own attack.
According to the thief's observation, this necromancer looks extremely young and should not have such rich combat experience.
Originally, the thieves planned to attack when the necromancer and his party left. When leaving, the Necromancer's vigilance will be minimized. If you choose this time to take action, the success rate will obviously be the highest. But the thief did not expect that he would be directly discovered by the necromancer, so he had to reveal himself.
As early as he discovered the thief's reaction to the vampire, Rhodes had already guessed his next attack method.
Rhodes remembered that this kind of magical assassin from the Thieves Guild caused a lot of trouble in his previous game.
Teleportation, a spell originally used by mages to save their lives, is used offensively by thieves. It is an extremely fatal threat to ordinary mages.
If it was Rhodes who faced this kind of attack for the first time, he would obviously be in a hurry. However, after repelling countless players who used teleportation to attack in his previous life, this method no longer poses any threat to Rhodes. Maintain awareness of your surroundings, even if you use teleportation for a surprise attack, you still have time to react.
When the protection on his body was broken, the thief disappeared again.
This time, the thief appeared in front of Rhodes on the left, and directly waved the dagger in his hand and stabbed towards Rhodes' position.
With the sound of weapons clashing, the thief's hasty attack was easily blocked by Rhodes with his iron sword.
After failing to succeed, the thief was about to use teleportation to change positions and attack again, but he felt a threat from the sky.
The thief immediately stopped and disappeared, appearing slightly further away.
An extremely strong Nether Dragon Breath hit the thief's original location, instantly covering Rhodes on the side.
If the thief did not retreat immediately after discovering the abnormality, but insisted on attacking Rhodes, then the result would be that he would be completely covered by this Netherworld Dragon Breath.
Under the cover of the Nether Dragon's Breath, Rhodes' figure was completely obscured, and the thief was completely unable to find Rhodes.
Suddenly, the pale gas began to shrink toward the center. In an instant, the gas seemed to be completely sucked into Rhode's body, and Rhode's figure reappeared.
Rhodes noticed that he could also absorb the Nether Dragon's Breath, but due to the different types of energy, the higher-quality Nether Dragon's Breath could not convert much mana, not even as much as the ordinary Death Cloud.
Looking at Rhodes who was staying in place, the thief in front of him fully understood his strength.
This thief is an elite assassin resident in Wallen City, and is considered an important figure in the thieves guild in this area of Wallen City.
At first, when the thief learned that Rhodes and his party had arrived in Warren City, he didn't pay too much attention. In his opinion, this was just a powerful necromancer.
However, based on the characteristics of Rhodes and his party, the thief began to pay attention to their identities.
According to the intelligence circulated in the Thieves Guild, it was this necromancer who attacked the Freelancer Chamber of Commerce in the City of Screams and took away extremely valuable goods, even the finale of the auction, the highest-grade souls. Crystal, the mother of dead souls, was also snatched away by this necromancer.
The auction originally planned to be held by the City of Lament had to be postponed because of this.
In this case, the members of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce have set up a well-paid bounty mission in the Thieves Guild. As long as they can kill Rhodes, they can get these rewards.
According to the information obtained by this thief, the most powerful one among Rhodes and his party should be the ghost dragon. The Thieves Guild did not provide information about other creatures.
After learning this, the thief suddenly gained confidence due to his mastery of teleportation. In his opinion, he had killed countless necromancers. Even if this necromancer could control the ghost dragon, he still could not escape the fate of death.
However, when the attack was easily resisted by Rhodes, the thief realized how difficult the enemy in front of him was.
Thinking of this, the thief immediately looked away and looked at Rowling.
In the previous battle, in order to ensure that Rowling would not be accidentally injured, Rhodes specifically asked the centaur leader to take her aside, which undoubtedly gave the thieves an opportunity.
In an instant, the thief disappeared again and appeared directly behind Luo Lin.
The thief understood that based on the strength shown by Rhodes, he obviously could not kill him. If he captured the person he cared about, he might still have a chance to win.
However, what the thief didn't expect was that just when he appeared behind Luo Lin and was about to attack her, a spell appeared in front of him.
With an explosion, the thief's body suddenly fell backwards.
After he fell to the ground, Rhodes, who was following him, noticed something strange about the thief. A huge hole appeared in the center of the thief's body, and blood was flowing in all directions.
At this time, Luo Lin had stayed where she was, with her mouth wide open and looking at her hands blankly.
In the previous battle, seeing that Rhodes easily withstood the thieves' attack, Rowling recalled the combat principles that Rhodes taught yesterday.
Rowling remembered that she was practicing teleportation at the time. After being discovered by Rhodes, Rhodes specifically told her the techniques of teleportation and how to face enemies who used teleportation.
Among them, one point that Rhodes specially emphasized was how to deal with the attacks of these magic assassins. Rhodes pointed out that when these assassins use teleportation to attack, their eyes will involuntarily observe the situation around the target. This is also to adjust their body position at the end of the teleportation.
After discovering this, combined with his own perception of mana fluctuations, it will no longer be troublesome to deal with these magic assassins.
Thinking about what Rhodes taught her, even if she just watched Rhodes fight with the thief, Rowling was able to judge the thief's next attack method.
When she noticed the thief looking at her, Rowling instantly realized what he was thinking.
After discovering this, Luo Lin's consciousness didn't even react. Her body immediately moved. She turned around and raised her hand to cast a spell in one go, directly killing the thief who appeared behind her.
When Rhodes arrived, Rowling's face did not show the joy of leaping over the ranks to kill a powerful enemy. On the contrary, Rowling stared blankly at her trembling hands, unable to say a word.
