In the center of the battlefield, bats gathered and the figure of a vampire appeared.
In the field, less than half of the members of the business group were still fighting vampires. The strength of the remaining people is relatively strong among the guards, and most of them are at the second or third level.
The weak professionals in the business group could not survive the vampire's several bat transformations, and had been killed by the vampire first.
The remaining professionals still want to rely on their numerical advantage to slowly eliminate the vampires in front of them.
Except for the core members of the business group, the rest of the guards were originally gathered together because of their interests. After seeing the power of the vampire in front of them, they were obviously unwilling to go up and fight head-on.
Even though the vampire was under siege, there were only some shallow wounds on its body, and the only few deeper wounds were all affected by the mage's spells. These wounds have a certain impact on the vampire, but they are not fatal. On the contrary, they arouse its murderous intention.
The only ones fighting against the vampires were the few warriors at the front. The warrior kept hitting the vampire with his shield, trying to create opportunities for the others around him to attack. Even if he was injured due to the vampire's attack, he still stood in front.
At this time, Rhodes, who walked down the watchtower, saw the blue-robed mage riding away. Rhodes realized something and quickly walked towards User's body that fell aside.
Arriving at User's body, Rhodes checked it out and found that the space ring that User originally wore on his hand had disappeared.
Rhodes knew that it was the blue-robed mage who discovered User's body, took off the space ring, and then fled quickly.
Rhodes didn't understand why the blue-robed mage did this. He felt from the spiritual imprint that the vampire had suffered some injuries. Even without the command of the leader Yose, the blue-robed mage and the surrounding senior professionals, if commanded properly, You may not be able to defeat yourself.
Rhodes could only guess that the blue-robed mage wanted to monopolize these dead soul crystals.
After looking at the situation on the battlefield, the guards of the merchant group were fighting vampires. For a moment, no one noticed Rhodes walking out of the watchtower.
The experience of the previous life made Rhodes understand the value of these dead soul crystals. Once he obtains this batch of dead soul crystals, the death energy that can be provided will undergo a qualitative change when the number of dead soul crystals is superimposed.
With the help of these undead crystals, Rhodes will be able to create a large number of undead creatures when the war begins.
Instead of helping the fighting vampires kill the members of the business group, Rhodes came to a carriage, cut off the ropes on the horses with force, then got on the horse and chased in the direction where the blue-robed mage escaped.
Since the blue-robed mage had been escaping on horseback for a long time, and Rhodes spent some time checking User's body, at this time, Rhodes could not even see the figure of the blue-robed mage in front of him.
Although he has elementary reconnaissance skills, Rhodes can tell the direction of the blue-robed mage's escape through small traces, but he cannot quickly tell the blue-robed mage's escape path at the first time. He can only observe carefully and spend a certain amount of time. Find the exact location.
Rhodes opened the properties panel. After killing User, Rhodes got a lot of experience, and with the merchant guards killed by the vampires, he could already level up his character.
"300 experience points are consumed, and the remaining experience points are 365. The professional level is upgraded to level 2 swordsman level 4..."
"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."
In order to ensure that he could accurately follow the blue-robed mage and obtain the Revenant Crystal, Rhodes did not bother to save the skill points he obtained and used them, choosing to learn the intermediate reconnaissance technique.
(Intermediate reconnaissance skills: Through extensive training, your reconnaissance ability has been further improved. It is difficult to hide anything under your detection. You can discover the enemy's movements through subtle traces, and you can also sense the movement of grass and wind. to hidden dangers. Detection range +4, perception ability +2)
After learning the intermediate reconnaissance technique, the subtle traces around him, whether it was the splashed mud on the grass or the slightly dented dead branches on the ground, seemed to indicate to Rhodes the movements of the blue-robed mage. The traces that originally took Rhode a while to detect became so obvious now.
Rhodes immediately followed the detected traces and chased in one direction on horseback.
Through these traces left by the blue-robed mage, Rhodes can even determine how long ago he passed here.
Rhodes understood that since he had no mana at this time, he might not be able to defeat the blue-robed mage head-on with his own strength alone, so he did not want to directly catch up with him and fight him, but followed him through these traces from behind.
As Rhodes chased into the forest, everyone who was fighting the vampire also discovered something unusual.
When the blue-robed mage was escaping on horseback, he was discovered by a few people. Although they realized something was wrong, these people were still fighting vampires. They just had doubts in their hearts but did not show it.
These members of the business group realized something was wrong when they saw another enemy dressed in black robes chasing the blue-robed mage.
Although they didn't know what happened, these guards began to be a little timid when fighting the vampires. They just fought beside the vampires to prevent them from being hurt by the vampires, instead of thinking about how to kill the vampires.
At this time, the vampire's attack was blocked by the soldiers in front. A thief on the side was about to take this opportunity to attack, but was discovered by the vampire and chose to meet the thief's attack head-on.
As the thief's dagger penetrated the vampire's body, the vampire's claws also scratched through the thief's abdomen. The vampire can quickly pull the dagger out, but the thief can only fall to the ground.
Behind, a warrior was about to seize the opportunity to strike down with a sword. The vampire did not dodge, but took advantage of the gap between the warrior's attacks and thrust a claw towards the warrior's throat, killing the warrior on the spot. Although the sword swung by the warrior hit the vampire, it had completely lost its power.
On the battlefield, the blue-robed mage lost control of the field. Although the surrounding guards still suppressed the vampire, as the duration of the weakening magic on the vampire expired, the original strength of the vampire was restored, and the surrounding guards still did not dare to attack. With all his strength, the vampire began to show off his power.
On the side, several more guards wanted to take the opportunity to attack, but before their weapons could hit the vampire, the vampire saw the opportunity and turned into a black mist in the center surrounded by them.
Taking advantage of the fact that these guards were too close to avoid, the bats pounced on them and began to bite them.
While the vampire still has the number of times to transform into a bat, it is obviously extremely difficult to kill the vampire without the powerful skills of the mage.
For ordinary second-level professionals, when their attributes and special skills are not strong, the bat transformed into a vampire bat seems difficult to handle. Except for a few senior professionals, everyone else felt uncomfortable.
The vampire showed its third-level peak strength. If he did not consume the number of uses of his bat transformation skills in advance like Rhodes, and then come forward to find a way to attack the vampire's weakness and severely damage it, he would rather rely on the advantage of numbers to kill him. Vampires, the cooperation of this group of people obviously did not reach this level.
As the number of dead guards increased, the morale of the remaining guards of the merchant group became increasingly low. Without the suppression of the mage, they began to understand the horror of this creature when they faced the vampire in front of them.
