As time goes by, the range that Rhodes can perceive is shrinking inward little by little.
The reason for the shrinkage was not that Rhodes deliberately restrained his perception, but that he was suppressed by the black clouds in the sky.
Even though the range of perception was suppressed, Rhodes seemed to have no impact. He just sat there and focused all his attention on perception.
At this time, due to the shroud of black clouds and the fact that it was night itself, the surrounding light almost completely disappeared, and the house was dark. If no one knew it in advance, no one would have thought that someone was hiding in the house, sensing Situation on the battlefield.
Rhodes deliberately did not use magic to ignite the flames to illuminate the surroundings, also to prevent the abnormality caused by the fire from attracting the attention of the necromancer.
At this time, the vampire had closed his eyes and was in a semi-sleep state.
A dark environment will not have much impact on vampires. But in order to prevent the vampire's breath from leaking out and being sensed by the necromancer, Rhodes asked the vampire to suppress his activities to a minimum when he first started waiting.
As time passed, although Rhodes' perception was suppressed a lot, he still noticed the abnormality in the mansion.
In Rhode's perception, there were only slight fluctuations of death energy around the mayor's mansion at first, but not long after, magic fluctuations began to occur.
Following the generation of the first magic wave, several more magic waves came immediately. Rhodes realized that the necromancer had begun to attack the mayor's mansion and discovered the mayor in front of the mansion.
If the location of the mayor had not been discovered, there would not have been violent magic fluctuations in the direction of the mansion from the beginning.
Necromancers need to control a large number of undead creatures, and the mental marks used to control these undead creatures will occupy their spiritual attributes. After controlling a large number of undead creatures, the necromancer's spiritual attributes will not be much left.
After using spiritual attributes to control undead creatures, the spells cast by the necromancer will not receive the bonus of spiritual attributes. This also means that the magic released by the necromancer is only equivalent in effect to that cast by an apprentice who has just learned the spell.
A battle between necromancers will consume some of the undead creatures at the beginning, and then use magic to change the situation of the battle, instead of using magic at the beginning like this.
Even if he uses spells, the necromancer will only use spells to gain an advantage at critical moments, and will not use all the spells.
Realizing this, Rhodes stood up and woke up the vampires beside him, preparing to go to the mayor's mansion.
At this time, there was no light around, it was completely dark. Rhodes knew that the necromancer was already on guard against him, so Rhodes did not choose to light the torch like last time.
Since vampires are not affected by the dark environment, after Rhodes gave an order to the vampire from his spiritual imprint, the vampire began to lead the way.
Under the guidance of the vampire, Rhodes came outside the house.
Rhodes looked up at the sky, but he couldn't even see the black clouds at all. He could only see the ink-like sky without any light coming from it.
Rhodes realized that this time the Necromancer should have released the black clouds in the sky in advance, causing the entire sky to be filled with black clouds, unlike last time.
In the previous attack, although this kind of black cloud also existed in the sky, it was still unable to block all the light in the sky far away from the mayor's mansion, and the clouds could still be seen.
Thinking of this, Rhodes knew that this time should be the general attack of the undead mage. He had seen most of the undead mage's methods, and Rhodes also had a partial understanding. On the contrary, he had many contacts with the town. However, it was difficult for Rhodes to see through it.
Rhodes let the vampire lead him and headed towards the mayor's mansion. Although he could not see the surrounding roads clearly, through the perception of spiritual imprints and the coordination brought by basic attributes to the body, Rhodes was able to move forward smoothly for a while. .
Not long after walking forward, there was an obvious light from the front.
Since everything was pitch black, the fire was too conspicuous. At the mayor's residence, red flames dyed the dark sky red. Even though he was still some distance away from the mayor's mansion, Rhodes could clearly observe that a fierce battle was going on inside the mansion.
Realizing this, with the light of the fire, Rhodes quickly moved forward and arrived at the mayor's mansion. However, he did not step into the courtyard immediately, but was on the outside of the courtyard, far away from the battlefield. , and began to observe the situation in the field.
The first thing that entered Rhode's eyes was several walls of fire. Walls of fire burned around the mansion, illuminating the entire battlefield.
The mayor's originally neat formation of skeleton warriors was disrupted by several walls of fire. Rhodes observed that these fire walls should rise directly from between the queues of skeleton warriors. In addition to causing instant damage to some skeleton warriors, they can also destroy the formation, just like Rhodes used the ice magic ring to disrupt the skeleton warriors. The formation is the same.
In addition, there was a wall of fire right in front of the gate of the mayor's mansion, blocking the mayor's retreat to the gate.
The spell used by the mayor is also a wall of fire.
In front of this group of skeleton warriors, a wall of fire separated the attacking undead creatures. Only a few undead creatures were left to fight with the skeleton warriors. Most of the undead creatures behind were separated behind the fire wall.
In front of these skeleton warriors, some undead creatures have fallen.
At this time, two ghosts were fighting with this group of skeleton warriors. The skeleton warriors used the shields in their hands to block all their attacks. They did not think about counterattack for a moment, but just resisted on the spot.
The mayor may not be willing to lose these skeleton warriors, but just wants to rely on the skeleton warriors and his own wall of fire to block these undead creatures here, while waiting for Rhodes to attack the necromancer, blocked by the wall of fire. For a while, I had nothing to lose.
Scanning the entire battlefield, Rhodes noticed that there were four ghosts among the undead creatures on the attacking side. Two of the ghosts were fighting the skeleton warriors, and the other two were separated by a wall of fire. In addition to the ghosts, there were a large number of ghosts and walking corpses.
Rhodes knew that in addition to these undead creatures, there would be other undead creatures guarding the necromancer. These undead creatures in the field were not all the undead creatures of the necromancer.
On the battlefield, what the necromancer and the mayor used most was the fire wall. The fire wall can be used to separate the battlefield and can work well with his own undead creatures.
When both of them have a lot of undead creatures, Fire Wall is undoubtedly the best choice. It can save mana and achieve the desired effect.
At this time, the wall of fire in front of the mansion dissipated, but immediately another wall of fire appeared, blocking the road behind the mayor.
Along with the wall of fire in front of the mansion, there was also the wall of fire in the queue of skeleton warriors. However, after the wall of fire dissipated, the necromancer did not make up for it. Instead, he allowed the skeleton warriors to find their position and resume their formation.
At this time, as the wall of fire dissipated, Rhodes saw the mayor among the skeleton warrior guards at a glance.
The mayor stood behind the group of skeleton warriors, just like what Rhodes had seen before, still holding a torch in his hand.
The mayor observed the situation on the battlefield with a calm expression. The torch in his hand did not look so bright against the wall of fire behind him. However, if the battle had just begun, this torch would undoubtedly expose his position to That necromancer.
At this time, the wall of fire used by the mayor to block the undead creatures behind also dissipated. Seeing this, the two ghosts behind immediately started to act. Skeleton warriors charging forward.
Under Rhodes' gaze, the mayor waved his hand suddenly, and suddenly, a wall of fire rose again at the original position, blocking the large group of undead creatures behind.
The two ghosts who wanted to attack could only be blocked by the rising wall of fire again.
Suddenly, the two ghosts flashed with red light, and then they rushed directly into the fire wall and passed through the fire wall in an instant.
Passing through the wall of fire caused the two ghosts to suffer some damage, but because the necromancer behind them used fire-bending magic on the two ghosts before passing through the wall of fire, and coupled with the characteristics of the ghosts themselves, the injuries were not serious. Heavy.
After passing through the wall of fire, the ghosts joined the battlefield and helped the two previous ghosts to deal with the skeleton warriors in front of them.
For a time, due to the increase in the number of ghosts, with the cooperation between them, even if the skeleton warrior had a shield, he was still unable to deal with multiple ghosts at the same time.
The moment the ghost passed through the wall of fire, Rhodes realized that the necromancer hiding in the darkness would not only make such a move.
Sure enough, except for the two ghosts, the rest of the undead creatures also took action and began to rush directly into the fire wall, trying to cross the fire wall and attack the undead creatures behind.
Since the use of the wall of fire had consumed a lot of mana, the necromancer realized that he could not let the wall of fire last in vain, but should take advantage of the wall of fire to block the mayor's escape route and launch a strong attack.
The mayor also noticed this and ignored the ghost that was killing the skeleton warrior not far away. Instead, he saw the opportunity and raised his hand again. When the undead creature in front had just passed through the fire wall, he added another shot behind the fire wall. A wall of fire.
The undead creature that was the first to pass through the fire wall obviously did not expect this situation. As soon as it broke out of the fire wall, it was in the next fire wall. The undead creature wanted to rush forward quickly, but due to the burning of the flames, it finally fell to the ground.
Ghosts can only float low above the ground. Even ghosts can't cross this wall of fire directly from the air, let alone these ghosts.
At this time, the necromancer behind was also aware of this situation, and quickly used the spiritual mark to stop the group of undead creatures under him.
Even though the Necromancer immediately issued this order after realizing that the mayor had raised two walls of fire, there were still many ghosts who rushed into the first wall of fire ahead and died under the two walls of fire. , the walking zombies did not enter the fire wall due to their speed.
During this charge, the necromancer at the rear did not use fire-bending magic on the undead creatures under his command. This resulted in that even if many ghosts exited the wall of fire, their cloth robes were still ignited by the flames. At this time, they were still alive. Taking damage from burning fire.
A large number of undead creatures, according to the order of the necromancer, stopped in front of the two walls of fire. Because they were too close, the flames on the ghost robes ignited the walking corpses nearby.
If it is a creature with normal consciousness, it will definitely take the initiative to stay away from objects with flames on its body. However, the walking corpse obeyed the instructions of the necromancer and waited in front of the fire wall, and was ignited by the ghost that exited the fire wall.
Seeing this, the necromancer quickly let these undead creatures disperse towards the rear, and for a while, no more undead creatures were ignited.
At this time, facing this group of skeleton warriors, the four ghosts in front had achieved sufficient results.
Due to the sufficient number of ghosts and their own characteristics, the skeleton warriors alone can only try their best to restrain them in place and prevent them from raiding the mayor. They cannot stop these ghosts for too long.
On the side, Yinhun swung out his claws, and the skeleton warrior raised his shield to block Yinhun's attack. Immediately, another ghost appeared beside the Skeleton Warrior, and chopped off the bones of the Skeleton Warrior's shield-holding hand with one claw.
The skeleton warrior's hand bones fell to the ground along with his shield. The Skeleton Warrior was about to swing out his sword for the final attack, but the ghost that had been deflected before rushed over again and cut off the Skeleton Warrior's cervical vertebrae with a claw.
Due to the increased number, the Skeleton Warriors could not surround the ghosts very well. The cooperation between the ghosts caused some losses to the mayor's skeleton warriors.
Facing Yinhun's attack, even if the skeleton warrior on the side wanted to come up with a shield to help resist, the target of Yinhun's attack immediately changed. The skeleton warrior who originally came up to help resist was instantly killed by Yinhun.
Seeing that these skeleton warriors were unable to resist the attack of the ghosts, the mayor raised his hand and cast a spell on these ghosts.
In an instant, the speed of attack and movement of these four ghosts all slowed down. The slowdown caused flaws in the cooperation between them, and they could no longer kill the skeleton warriors as quickly as before.
Rhodes, who was observing from the sidelines, obviously noticed this situation. Rhodes realized that the mayor probably had a high level of earth magic.
The spell used by the mayor should be the Slowing Spell. Rhodes also masters this spell, but it can only slow down one target at a time, while the mayor can slow down multiple targets at the same time.
This is also an ability that the mayor has never used in the previous battles. Whether it was to fight off the necromancer or to meet Rhodes' temptation, the mayor has never used this spell before, and Rhodes has no way of knowing his special ability. skill level.
In Rhode's sight, the mayor became a little anxious. Although he still had a lot of mana left, he was unable to deal with so many undead creatures. The way back to the mansion was blocked by a wall of fire. He just turned his head and looked for Luo. The figure of virtue.
Perhaps in order not to appear strange, the mayor's expression still did not change significantly.
