Rhodes stood still and looked behind him, where the vampire was fighting the ghost.
The vampire launched a series of strong attacks, but the ghost quickly dodged by floating at low altitude, and used his bony arms to block the attacks that he couldn't dodge.
The appearance of the upper body of the Yinhun is similar to that of the Skeleton Soldier. They are both made of human bones, but there is nothingness underneath. There is nothing behind the hem of the cloth robe, and the lower part of the entire body has no actual form. Because of this, the ghost has the ability to fly, but it can only float at a low distance from the ground and cannot fly at high altitudes.
The ghost is an advanced level of the second-level creature ghost. In addition to surpassing the basic creatures before the advancement in terms of basic attributes, the advanced creatures will also master some special skills.
Whether they are vampires or ghosts, when they fight with all their strength, they are not affected by the dim light around them.
The ghost did not take the initiative to attack except after attacking Rhodes at the beginning. Faced with vampire attacks, the ghosts mostly dodge.
The vampire stretched out his claws, and the ghost flew backwards for a distance, dodging the vampire's attack. The vampire rushed straight at Yinhun again, trying to get close and grab Yinhun's body, but Yinhun directly raised his hand and whipped the vampire's arm aside.
Since the speed attributes are not much different, the vampire's attacks cannot achieve much effectiveness in a short period of time. As both third-level creatures, even if the overall strength of the vampire is stronger than that of the ghost, there is no way to kill it quickly.
Even if the ghost sometimes fails to dodge the vampire's attack and is hit by the vampire, the hit area will immediately turn dark and light, and then it will be as if nothing happened. Instead, it can take this opportunity to fight back against the vampire.
In the previous battle with Master Lanran, the vampire's claws were broken many times. Even if the physical injuries suffered can be recovered, the claws as offensive weapons cannot be recovered in a short time, and they can only wait for the passage of time to let them recover. Recover on its own.
Although the overall basic attributes exceed those of the ghosts, the vampire's strength has dropped a lot compared to before due to the loss of the sharp claws it relied on to fight.
During the battle with the ghost, the vampire's successive attacks had no effect. The vampire became a little impatient and wanted to choose the method of bat transformation, so that the bat could pounce directly on the ghost. Since the ghost does not have any range attack skills, the damage it can cause basically relies on swinging its arms, making it difficult to deal with the bats produced by the vampire bat transformation.
However, just when the vampire wanted to transform into a bat, Rhodes stopped the vampire and allowed the vampire to retain the number of bat transformations and did not let the vampire use the bat transformation immediately.
Rhodes observed Yin Hun's posture. Yin Hun did not want to fight head-on with the vampire. Even if the vampire now uses bat transformation, Yin Hun does not need to deal with these bats. It only needs to flee around quickly.
In the previous battle, although Rhodes took out the sword blade from the space ring, he did not help the vampires attack the ghosts together. Instead, he kept guarding the surroundings.
Due to the darkness of the clouds, the surrounding light was very dim, making it almost difficult for Rhodes to see the surrounding scenery clearly. These black clouds in the sky restricted Rhodes' perception. Originally, he could cover a large area of perception, but now he could only cover the vicinity of this hotel.
Even so, because Rhodes had spiritualism and was extremely sensitive to death energy, he still noticed that there were many undead creatures around him.
These undead creatures slowly gathered around while the vampires were fighting with the ghosts, but they did not attack. Instead, they seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, and surrounded Rhodes and the vampires.
Since he didn't know the location of the manipulators behind these undead creatures, Rhodes also made no move and just focused on looking for the necromancers who might be lurking around.
At this time, in Rhode's perception, the number of undead creatures around him was increasing. As if knowing that the surrounding undead creatures were ready, the ghost let out a scream after dodging an attack from the vampire.
Suddenly, the undead creatures that Rhodes sensed moved and rushed towards Rhodes.
Rhodes swung his sword and slashed at the undead creature closest to him, forcing it back. Due to the close distance of the undead creatures, Rhodes could clearly see the appearance of these enemies with the help of the surrounding light.
Most of the enemies around them are dressed the same as the ghosts, but they are not as powerful as the ghosts. They should be second-level undead creatures, ghosts. In addition, there are some ordinary walking corpses, and there are no third-level creatures like the previous ghosts.
Seeing that all the enemies around him were surrounding him, but the traces of the necromancer were still not found, Rhodes stopped holding back.
Rhodes gave an order to the vampire through his spiritual mark, and then raised his hand. An ice ring centered on Rhodes spread rapidly to the surroundings. All the surrounding undead creatures were harmed by the ice ring, and due to the ice The impact caused by the ring caused these undead creatures to be repelled one after another.
The vampire on the side, after receiving the order from the spiritual imprint, saw Rhodes releasing the ice ring, so he chose to transform into a bat, and his entire body turned into a black mist.
At the moment when the vampire bat transformation was completed, an ice ring passed by. Because the vampire had just entered the bat transformation state and the bat had not yet appeared, it was not affected by this spell. The ice ring was directly transformed into the vampire bat. Black fog. The ghost behind him was struck by the ice ring because he had no defense.
Since the vampire and the ghost were fighting far away from Rhodes, although the ice ring hit the ghost, it was only impacted and did not cause much damage to it.
In the black mist, the bat pounced on Yin Hun, while Yin Hun quickly adjusted his body after being hit by the ice ring and dodged directly to the side, not giving the bat a chance to get close to him.
At this time, the undead creatures around Rhodes were too close, and they almost completely withstood the damage of the ice magic ring. Although the ice magic ring alone could not kill them, it could still damage them. It caused quite a bit of damage.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Ice Demonic Ring was released and the surrounding undead creatures were shaken by the impact, Rhodes rushed forward with his sword and began to quickly attack these undead creatures.
Rhodes did not choose to release magic again in order to save mana to deal with special situations. According to Rhodes' idea, if you want to kill the undead creatures around you with the Ice Demonic Ring alone, you have to release it at least three to four times. Rhodes was obviously not willing to waste his mana on killing ordinary undead creatures.
The ghost closest to Rhodes was thrown backwards by the impact of the ice magic ring. Because he could levitate, although he was somewhat damaged, the ghost adjusted his condition in an instant. Just when he wanted to look for the enemy in front of him, he only saw a sword blade slashing towards him.
The ghost quickly dodged and tried to fall backward to avoid the attack. However, due to the previous impact, the ghost failed to act immediately. The sword caught up with the ghost that was trying to dodge, and accurately cut off its exposed cervical vertebrae.
In an instant, the ghost's entire body lost its power and could no longer float, falling from the air to the ground. Only the cloth robe and the dead bones wrapped in it were left on the ground.
After killing the ghost, Rhodes didn't stop at all. He immediately turned to the next nearest undead creature and swung his sword at it.
The undead creature Rhodes was about to attack was just an ordinary zombie. Even if the zombie is in good condition, Rhodes can kill it without much effort, not to mention that the zombie was also hit by a spell.
Rhodes beheaded the walking corpse with one sword, and then locked on the next target again.
At this time, the impact of the ice magic ring had subsided, and the surrounding undead creatures recovered and began to rush towards Rhodes.
Rhodes was not afraid at all. Before the surrounding undead creatures could rush to his side, Rhodes took the lead and rushed towards the nearest undead creature.
As the battle progressed, Rhodes discovered that the dim light around him had no impact on his swordsmanship. Even if the surrounding ghosts wanted to take advantage of the dark environment to make a sneak attack, Rhodes could react in time, and instead took advantage of their sudden attack to severely damage them with a single sword strike.
After reaching the expert level, Rhodes' swordsmanship has not been improved, but the improvement of basic attributes has enabled the already good swordsmanship to exert greater power.
When Rhodes's basic attributes are not high, Rhodes's expert-level swordsmanship can help him deal with enemies with strong attributes. But when Rhodes's basic attributes are no longer a weakness, the true strength of expert-level swordsmanship can be revealed. Rhodes does not need to think about how to get out. The sword can easily deal with these undead creatures in front of it as long as it follows its own instinct.
Low-level special skills can only cope with crises for a period of time. If they are not improved, they will inevitably become less useful as the overall strength increases. Regardless of any type of special skills, as long as they reach the expert level, they will have unique uses and will not be eliminated as their strength increases. A large part of what determines the strength of high-level professionals comes from the number of expert-level special skills.
Rhodes quickly cleared away the surrounding undead creatures. When there were only a few undead creatures left around, vampires also joined in and helped Rhodes kill these surrounding undead creatures.
Rhodes fought with the vampires. These low-level undead creatures had no room for resistance and could only be eliminated one by one.
Not long after, all the surrounding undead creatures were cleared away, leaving only debris on the ground.
After all the surrounding undead creatures were wiped out, Rhodes also began to interrogate the vampires.
Rhodes remembered that the vampires were fighting with the ghosts at the beginning. According to Rhodes' estimation, even if the ghosts fought the vampires with all their strength, it would be impossible for the two of them to win or lose in a short period of time.
Rhodes remembered that the characteristic of a creature like a ghost is that it can restore its HP over time. This characteristic of a ghost is extremely effective when facing creatures whose attributes are inferior to it. But when facing Rhodes, who is far stronger than them and can kill them with one blow, this characteristic seems to be of little use. Rhodes can directly kill the ghosts.
As a ghost advanced ghost, this ability to recover injuries has been further strengthened. Although broken limbs cannot be restored, relying on this characteristic, in addition to damage to body parts, the damage suffered by the ghost can be recovered. Therefore it is extremely difficult to deal with.
Through the situation reported by the vampire in the spiritual imprint, Rhodes learned that the ghost did not choose to fight the vampire, but retreated directly into the darkness. The vampire seemed to have sensed something. Instead of chasing the retreating ghost, he chose to return to Rhodes and work with Rhodes to deal with the surrounding undead creatures.
During the battle, Rhodes deliberately saved his mana in order to deal with the undead mages that might be hiding around him. According to Rhodes' idea, if the surrounding necromancers did not take action against him, they would most likely choose to attack the vampire instead of letting him kill the undead creatures he controlled.
Rhodes' target was on the hidden necromancer from the beginning. He wanted to wait until his position was exposed before finding a way to kill him. If he had been hiding in the darkness, it would be difficult for Rhodes to kill him. find out.
What Rhodes didn't expect was that even if all these undead creatures died, the hidden necromancer did not appear.
Rhodes recalled the first time he encountered the ghost. He was meditating inside the hotel, but when he came to the street outside, he was attacked by the ghost. After the vampires fought with the ghosts for a while, the rest of the undead creatures gathered here.
Rhodes realized that these undead creatures should have nothing to do with the mayor. It is extremely easy for the mayor to find out his movements in the town. If the mayor plans to sneak attack him at night, the moment he walks out of the hotel door, he will be surrounded by the mayor's undead creatures. , instead of waiting like this, waiting until you find yourself, and the surrounding undead creatures begin to gather again.
Looking at the remains of these undead creatures on the ground, Rhodes was a little unsure about his previous judgment.
Among the undead creatures killed previously, there were not many walking corpses, but more second-level ghosts. After killing this group of undead creatures, Rhodes received a total of 440 experience points.
Although the combat effectiveness of this group of undead creatures is not very good, the experience provided has not been reduced at all. At the same time, it also shows that Rhodes' strength has improved to a certain extent. It may still be difficult to defeat third-level creatures head-on, but there is absolutely no problem in dealing with ordinary second-level creatures.
Seeing that the experience value has reached the level of improvement, Rhodes opened the attribute panel.
"600 experience points are consumed, and the remaining experience points are 130. The professional level is upgraded to level 2 swordsman level 7..."
"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point..."
Thinking of the upcoming battle, Rhodes did not allocate the points obtained through upgrades, but waited until the critical moment to use them.
Leading the vampires, Rhodes chose to go to the mayor's mansion again to find out.
