Rhodes noticed something strange about the blue-robed mage. Under Rhode's gaze, the blue-robed mage swung his dagger again.
Since the iron sword was cut off by the dagger, Rhodes understood the sharpness of the dagger in the blue-robed mage's hand and did not dare to take the blue-robed mage's attack. Instead, he chose to dodge, hoping to stay behind after the blue-robed mage swung away the attack. He stepped forward and stabbed out the broken sword.
While Rhodes attracted the attention of the blue-robed mage, the bats from behind also pounced on the blue-robed mage.
At this time, the blue-robed mage directly raised his hand, and a magic ring of ice exploded outwards with him as the center.
A large number of bats turned into black mist due to this magic. Fortunately, the vampire experienced a battle with the blue-robed mage. When he transformed into a bat this time, he did not let all the bats pounce on the blue-robed mage. Instead, he let the small half-bat fly away from the range of the ice magic ring.
Although the blue-robed mage released the ice magic ring and killed most of the bats, the vampire only suffered some damage after reappearing, not as seriously injured as before.
Rhodes was pushed aside by the impact of the ice magic ring because he was closer to the blue-robed mage. After enduring the damage from the Ice Demon Ring at close range, Rhodes was seriously injured, but the actual loss of health was not as much as being hit by the ice arrow.
The Ice Ring focuses more on area damage. For vampire bats, the damage may be enough to kill them, but if the vampire body is allowed to bear it, the actual damage it can cause is not much.
Since Rhodes knew in advance that weapons were easily damaged, even if they were not cut off by the enemy's weapons, they would be curled by collisions during the battle. Therefore, he stored multiple iron swords in the space ring, and the shields only took up too much space. Stored one side.
After the impact of the ice magic ring ended, Rhodes stood still and threw the broken sword on the ground. Just as he took out another sword from the space ring, he saw the blue-robed mage rushing towards him.
Seeing the glowing red dagger stabbing him, Rhodes knew that he couldn't use a weapon to intercept it, so he dodged to the side.
The blue-robed mage continued to swing the dagger, and Rhodes focused on dodging, while looking for the blue-robed mage's flaw to prepare for an attack, and waiting for the attack of the vampire on the side.
As the battle progressed, Rhodes gradually realized something was wrong. Even with expert swordsmanship, Rhodes could not find the flaw in the blue-robed mage's attack.
Rhodes felt that the person fighting him at this time was not a mage who was not good at fighting, but more like a senior assassin.
The enthusiasm on the blue-robed mage's face never faded. Although the dagger held by the blue-robed mage increased his strength, the dagger had affected the blue-robed mage's sanity, causing him to lose the reason he should have as a spellcaster.
Rhodes believed that if the blue-robed mage was still conscious, he would not take the opportunity to rush towards him after the ice magic ring ended, but would stay where he was and release spells to deal with the vampires first.
After absorbing the blood of the blue-robed mage, the dagger became extremely sharp, but it did not improve the basic attributes of the blue-robed mage itself much.
Although the dagger improves the blue-robed mage's combat skills by several levels, it can only be exerted by the blue-robed mage's basic attributes. As long as Rhodes focuses on dodging, and the blue-robed mage does not use spells, It won't hurt for a while.
Rhodes retreated, dodging the blue-robed mage's dagger. The blue-robed mage did not stop, but with the impact of swinging the dagger, he turned back, and the dagger accurately hit the vampire behind who was preparing for a sneak attack.
It turned out that Rhodes took advantage of the opportunity to hold off the blue-robed mage in front, allowing the vampires who had completed their bat transformation to find an opportunity to sneak attack. But he didn't expect the vampire's sneak attack to be launched at the right moment, and was accurately blocked by the blue-robed mage.
In an instant, the dagger cut off the vampire's claws again, but the vampire did not stop, but continued to charge forward.
The blue-robed mage shrank to avoid the vampire's waving hands, and quickly pulled the red-glow dagger horizontally.
The dagger slashed across the vampire's abdomen. The flesh and blood tissue on the vampire's body failed to block it. Black-red blood flowed out rapidly from the wound on the vampire's abdomen.
Due to the length of the dagger itself, this attack caused almost the entire abdomen of the vampire to be cut open. If the dagger was replaced by an iron sword of the same material, the vampire would be cut in half directly.
The blue-robed mage turned around again, and the dagger passed in front of Rhodes.
At this time, Rhodes noticed that the red light on the blue-robed mage's dagger had dimmed a lot due to successive swings of the weapon. Especially after attacking the vampire, the red light almost dissipated.
Seeing this opportunity, Rhodes swung his sword with all his strength. With the help of his skills, the sword and the dagger collided. Not only did it not break, but the dagger was knocked aside. At the same time, Rhodes pulled back his hand horizontally, trying to directly hit the blue-robed mage. Beheading.
Before the sword blade touched the body of the blue-robed mage, an ice arrow was shot out first, hitting Rhodes who was close at hand.
The ice arrow exploded in Rhode's chest, and Rhode fell directly to the side. Even with the damage caused by the resistance weakening spell, Rhodes was still seriously injured when facing the ice arrow spell.
After falling to the ground, Rhodes quickly allocated some of his free attribute points to his physique, and at the same time adjusted his condition to prepare for the next attack from the blue-robed mage.
However, the attack that Rhodes expected did not come, and the blue-robed mage did not take advantage of this perfect opportunity to pursue him.
After the blue-robed mage realized that the red light on his dagger had faded, a look of pain appeared on his face. The blue-robed mage held the dagger and made several cuts on his arm, and suddenly the dagger glowed red.
Rhodes understood that the blue-robed mage's abnormal state at this time was inseparable from the dagger he held in his hand.
Feeling the weakness of the vampire in the spiritual imprint, Rhodes still gave it an order. The vampire rushed towards the blue-robed mage not far away from him.
The blue-robed mage also noticed the vampire's attack and thrust his dagger at the vampire rushing toward him.
The vampire couldn't dodge, and the dagger penetrated directly from the vampire's previous wound. Coupled with the vampire's own impact, the dagger protruded directly from the vampire's back. At this time, the vampire reached out and grabbed the hand holding the dagger of the blue-robed mage.
The blue-robed mage originally wanted to quickly move aside to dodge the vampire's attack after the attack, but no matter how hard the blue-robed mage exerted his strength, the vampire held his hand firmly.
The sharp dagger stretched the wound on the vampire's abdomen wider and wider. At the same time, the broken claws on the vampire's hand also penetrated deeply into the blue-robed mage's arm.
The blue-robed mage raised his left hand, preparing to cast a spell on the vampire, but suddenly realized something and was about to turn around, but it was too late. Taking advantage of the moment when the blue-robed mage was restrained by the vampire, Rhodes, who had recovered his health, rushed forward.
As a ray of silver light flashed across, the head of the blue-robed mage rolled to the ground.
