Rhodes checked the sword he was holding now. The attributes are damage 4 and durability 5/10. This sword is better than the one that was broken before, but it can only be used as make do.
Rhodes continued on his journey, and next faced a single skeleton soldier. At this time, Rhodes had already surpassed the skeleton soldiers who relied solely on instinct to fight in terms of skills. The combat skills of the skeleton soldiers without the control of the necromancer were really terrible. Rhodes killed the skeleton soldiers without any damage using pure swordsmanship, and gained another 10 experience points. .
Later, Rhodes faced two zombies at once in a relatively spacious passage. Instead of fighting one against two in the open space, Rhodes led them back to the previous narrow passage. For a while, he only had to face A walking zombie uses his sword skills to kill the walking zombies one by one and gets 30 experience points.
Rhodes discovered that after learning basic swordsmanship, he could easily find the opportunity to attack in battle. The original opponent's attack was full of flaws in his eyes. This may be a hidden benefit of learning swordsmanship. In his previous life, Rhodes played a pure output mage style and did not know much about the hidden characteristics of special combat skills.
Although he is a pure mage, Rhodes' combat skills and awareness are still among the top. After all, mages are often very limited in the early stage. In the early stage, Rhodes can only use his combat awareness to make up for his shortcomings of not learning special skills. Skill points cultivate invincible mages in the later stage.
Under the current circumstances, even if Rhodes wanted to set aside skill points for later use, he had no choice. In order to cope with unknown situations, you can only invest skill points in the most suitable skills at the moment.
Rhodes moved forward slowly, and the road ahead became wider. Continue forward and come to a location similar to a hall.
At this time, Rhodes' pupils shrank and his expression became solemn. There is a skeleton warrior wearing iron armor and holding a sword and shield in front of him. There are two skeleton soldiers near Rhodes around him. There are also two skeleton soldiers behind the passage. The distance between each side is about five meters. Rhodes can easily deal with these four skeleton soldiers, but the skeleton warrior makes Rhodes very troublesome.
The Skeleton Warrior is a relatively strong first-level undead creature. Compared with the skeleton warrior, the strength and speed attributes of the skeleton warrior have been further improved, and the combat skills have been enhanced, but the health value has not changed.
Skeleton soldiers can become skeleton warriors by absorbing the energy of death. Living creatures will emit part of their death energy when they die. In other words, ordinary skeleton soldiers can become skeleton warriors after killing enough creatures.
A powerful necromancer can also directly give death energy to skeleton soldiers and transform them into skeleton warriors. A powerful professional in life can be directly transformed into a skeleton warrior when he dies due to the energy remaining inside his body.
Rhodes finds the Skeleton Warrior difficult not because of its powerful combat skills, but because the Skeleton Warrior's basic attributes are too high for him now.
The Skeleton Warrior's strength and speed attributes far exceed those of the current Rhodes. You must know that Rhodes' current basic attributes are not even comparable to ordinary skeleton soldiers. He relies entirely on combat skills to defeat the enemy. The huge gap between the two attributes of strength and speed makes it difficult for Rhodes to deal with the Skeleton Warrior's attack. Basically, he will be seriously injured if he is hit.
Rhodes decided to use experience points to increase his character attributes to the limit first, and then think of a way.
"30 experience points are consumed, and the remaining experience points are 15. The professional level is upgraded to level 1 militia level 4..."
"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."
"Consume 10 experience points, increase [Burst Lv1] to [Burst Lv2], and have 5 remaining experience points."
"[Burst Lv2]: The next attack will consume half of the current energy value, and the damage caused will be increased by 40%. The experience points required for upgrade are 30."
"Consume 5 experience points, upgrade [Heavy Slash Level 1] to [Heavy Slash Level 2], and the remaining experience value is 0."
"[Heavy Slash Level 2]: Consumes 10 energy. The next attack will cause 125% damage of the basic attack power. When attacking a weak point, the damage will be increased to 170%. 15 experience points are required for upgrading."
Rhodes allocated free attribute points to speed to shorten the attribute gap between himself and the Skeleton Warrior. At the same time, he used skill points to learn intermediate swordsmanship.
(Intermediate swordsmanship: Years of practicing swordsmanship have given you a new understanding of the use of swords. All moves seem to be integrated into your instincts. You can maximize the damage of conventional swords. Your mastery of any swordsmanship The speed is increased and the damage caused by all regular swords is increased by 20%.)
The current panel attributes of Rhodes are:

Looking at his attributes, Rhodes frowned slightly.
"It's still difficult to fight. The Skeleton Warrior will kill me with a single blow and I'll have to lie down. I can't kill it like I did with the Skeleton Warrior before. The Skeleton Warrior's running speed means that I can't get over it and get out of the tunnel."
"There are five undead creatures in total, so we can only fight on the terrain... No..."
Suddenly, Rhodes thought of something. Although it might be a little risky, this might be the only way to kill the skeleton warrior.
Rhodes waited in place until his strength returned to 80, then by blocking the skeleton soldiers' sight, he slowly came within five meters of them without being discovered, and then rushed directly towards them.
During the charge, the huge footsteps made by Rhodes attracted the attention of these undead creatures. Before the two skeleton soldiers in front had time to move, Rhodes rushed to their side. At the same time as the charge, he completed two heavy slashes, each of which hit the skeleton soldier's cervical spine accurately.
Only two silver lights were seen passing by, and then two skulls fell down. The incisions at the broken cervical vertebrae were smooth and neat, and the soul fire in the skulls' eyes slowly extinguished. Rhodes didn't even look and rushed towards the skeleton warrior with his sword.
Seeing the enemy rushing toward him, the Skeleton Warrior's remaining combat skills told him that he should raise his hand to raise his shield at this time, and at the same time, he should hold the sword in his other hand to charge up.
The soul fire beating in the skeleton warrior's eyes was staring at Rhodes, waiting for Rhodes' attack to come and give him an unforgettable counterattack.
Rhodes had already charged in front of the Skeleton Warrior. What the Skeleton Warrior did not expect was that the attack he was waiting for did not come. Rhodes dodged and rushed past the Skeleton Warrior. The target of Rhodes' charge was not the skeleton warrior from the beginning, but the skeleton soldiers behind him!
Guided by the remaining combat instinct, the skeleton warrior directly killed him sideways. With the blessing of attributes that far exceeded Rhodes, this sword struck directly on the leather armor on Rhodes' back, making the sound of the leather cracking.
Fortunately, Rhodes' charge was fast enough, or it could be said that this charge caught the Skeleton Warriors unexpectedly, and they did not immediately judge Rhodes' true intention. Although this cut was on Rhodes' back, it was not a real cut.
Rod was wounded, but not seriously.
