Rhodes rushed towards the Necromancer.
The necromancer reacted in time, controlling the ghost to resist Rhodes' offensive, while paying attention to the bats flying into the sky.
Rhodes swung his sword and killed the nearest ghost.
Looking at the enemies in front of him, Rhodes swung his sword quickly. Since the only undead creatures around were ghosts, Rhodes did not choose to release magic.
In this short period of time, Rhodes fought his way in from the formation surrounded by ghosts. The effect of expert swordsmanship was brought into full play. Not many ghosts in front of him could withstand one attack from Rhodes.
Just as Rhodes continued to attack the next selected ghost, the necromancer behind also took action, not wanting Rhodes to kill his undead creature so easily.
The necromancer saw the opportunity for Rhodes to draw his sword, condensed a fireball in his hand, and then shot it directly at Rhodes.
Although Rhodes was fighting a ghost, the appearance of the fire was so conspicuous that even without the perception bonus brought by the reconnaissance technique, Rhodes could notice it.
The moment the necromancer cast his spell, Rhodes gave up on the opponent in front of him and dodged to the side.
The fireball passed by Rhodes and hit the ground not far away. The explosion sounded in Rhodes' ears, but Rhodes was not affected at all.
After dodging the fireball, Rhodes attacked the ghost again.
Unlike the ghost, since the basic attributes of the ghost are not high, Rhodes can quickly kill it with sword skills alone. Even if there are a large group of ghosts in front of him, Rhodes can handle it.
Rhodes realized that the necromancer's control over undead creatures was far less sophisticated than the mayor's.
When he was fighting the ghosts in front of him, the Necromancer did not exert much control, but let the ghosts fight on instinct. If the mayor came to control these ghosts in front of him, Rhodes might need to cast a spell to defeat them.
The mayor can rely on years of accumulation to slowly improve his ability to control undead creatures, but the necromancer who has been in the academy does not have this opportunity.
At this time, the necromancer controlled the undead creatures to resist Rhodes while continuing to transfer the ghosts back to his side.
During the battle, Rhodes knew that the necromancer would definitely be a little anxious. In order to save his own life, he might give up attacking the mayor and instead transfer the ghosts to his side.
If the mayor is willing to cooperate with him, he should use other spells at this time to confine the ghosts in place and prevent them from coming back to support.
Rhodes knew that the mayor had the strength to stop the retreating ghosts. But Rhodes also knew that neither he nor the mayor could trust the other party, and both had the same idea.
Thinking of this, Rhodes slowed down the speed of dealing with these ghosts. At the same time, through the spiritual imprint, Rhodes sensed the location of the bat.
The necromancer took the initiative to move some distance to the rear, obviously not wanting to fight these undead creatures together.
Rhodes was also not in a hurry, and just concentrated on dealing with the ghosts in front of him. Even though the Necromancer brought back many ghosts, he still couldn't stop Rhodes and could only be killed one by one by Rhodes.
At this time, Rhodes was shocked, as if he noticed something, and he immediately swung his sword towards the darkness beside him.
With a muffled sound, Rhodes' sword blade was flicked aside, and then, another attack hit Rhodes.
Rhodes waved his sword to block the attack. Using the surrounding firelight, Rhodes also saw clearly that the enemies in front of him were the two ghosts who were supposed to attack the mayor.
The necromancer saw that the situation was not right, and the strongest ghost under his control was killed. For a moment, he directly transferred the two ghosts at the front of the battlefield back, without the mayor doing anything to stop them.
The necromancer obviously underestimated Rhodes' strength. Even though he noticed Rhodes' existence in the first test and left the strongest ghost beside him as a guard, he never expected that he would be eliminated by Rhodes so quickly. .
Therefore, upon realizing that he was in great danger, the necromancer immediately tried to recall the ghost.
While Rhodes was fighting the two ghosts, the Necromancer who had been observing not far away also took action and shot a magic arrow at Rhodes.
Rhodes rolled to the side to dodge, and immediately faced the attack from the ghost after standing up.
While Rhodes was fighting these undead creatures, the bats that had previously ascended into the sky disappeared completely.
The necromancer realized this, but didn't think much about it. He just thought that the bat wanted to give him a sneak attack, so he sent a few ghosts to his side to strengthen his vigilance.
The real situation of these bats is completely different from what the necromancer thought. At Rhode's signal, the bat rose into the sky and then flew towards the mansion.
High in the sky far away from the ground, a group of bats were flying rapidly. Under the cover of night, the bats blended perfectly into the darkness. No matter which side was on the battlefield, no bats were found in the sky.
Even the sound of flapping wings was covered up by the crash in front of the mansion and the sound of the wall of fire burning. Neither the necromancer nor the mayor noticed the movements of this group of bats.
Although with the cooperation of vampires, Rhodes can quickly kill the necromancer in front of him, the situation after that is completely out of Rhodes' control. The mayor in front of the mansion can quickly take over these ghosts, plus a large number of walking corpses, in Under the control of the mayor, it was difficult for Rhodes to defeat him.
However, Rhodes miscalculated the Necromancer's decision.
The necromancer did not use all his strength to cast the spell as soon as he discovered the mayor. According to the power of his previous fireball spell, he could cast it multiple times in a row and defeat the mayor's skeleton warriors. The necromancer only wanted to save mana and let the ghosts clean up the skeleton warriors in front, which gave the mayor a big opportunity.
At this time, the necromancer shifted his main target to himself, while the mayor had an easier time, only needing to deal with two ghosts. The mayor can retreat directly into the mansion, wait until Rhodes and the Necromancer are both injured, and then come out to fight.
Because of this, Rhodes needs to respond. Instead of killing the necromancer quickly as planned at the beginning, he let the vampire bat-turned-bat cross the battlefield and sneak attack the mayor in front of the mansion before the mayor retreated into the mansion.
Under the cover of darkness, no one noticed the bat under the black cloud. The bat crossed the battlefield and came to the top of the mayor's mansion.
At this time, the mayor was still in his original position, holding a torch and directing the surrounding skeleton warriors to resist the ghosts.
The bats gathered above the mayor's head, and then quickly rushed downwards, like a black torrent, rushing straight down towards the mayor.
Through the surrounding firelight, the mayor noticed the bats in the sky, but before he could make any move, his body was covered with bats.
The bats bit at the mayor's body crazily. For a moment, the mayor fell to the ground without any resistance.
Many skeleton warriors wanted to turn around and attack these bats, but this move caused their formations to scatter.
Although the number of ghosts in front of the skeleton warrior decreased, under the crazy attack of the ghosts and the expiration of the duration of the slow spell, the skeleton warrior was quickly killed.
In just this moment, the mayor who was standing in front of the mansion was killed, and the skeleton warrior also suffered heavy losses.
At this time, as if they had received some order, the remaining skeleton warriors quickly passed over the group of bats on the ground and retreated towards the interior of the mansion.
After the bat killed the mayor, it ignored the undead creatures around it and flew towards the walking corpses behind the battlefield.
At this time, at the front of the battlefield, the Necromancer was fighting fiercely with Rhodes. There were a lot of firelights scattered on the surrounding ground, which dispersed the darkness a lot, but Rhodes didn't have many injuries.
When bats transformed into vampire bats attacked the mayor, the necromancer also began to concentrate on controlling the surrounding undead creatures, and the pressure Rhodes faced increased significantly.
While the two ghosts in front were holding Rhodes back, other ghosts around him also surrounded him, using their attacks to interfere with Rhodes and at the same time create opportunities for the ghosts to attack.
Without the existence of these two ghosts, Rhodes was not afraid of the ghosts' encirclement, but under the leadership of these two ghosts, the situation was completely different.
Rhodes' main energy was focused on dealing with the attacks of the two ghosts. Due to the fierce attack of the ghosts, Rhodes could not behead them. Coupled with the numerical advantage of the ghosts, Rhodes could only fight with fatigue.
For this reason, Rhodes had no choice but to use the Ice Magic Ring, hoping to open up the battle.
Just as Rhodes released the Ice Demonic Ring, and was about to attack when the surrounding undead creatures were under impact, a fireball flew in time, dispelling Rhodes's idea.
Rhodes could only dodge to the side. Although the dodge did not take long, it was enough for the surrounding undead creatures to recover from the impact. After recovery, the undead creatures would surround Rhodes again.
Seeing the surrounding undead creatures surrounding him again, Rhodes realized that he could not go on like this.
At this time, through the message of the spiritual imprint in his mind, Rhodes knew that the mayor had been killed by the vampire. The vampire has recovered from his bat transformation and is fighting two ghosts in the center of the battlefield who are preparing to return.
Facing two ordinary ghosts at the same time, the vampire did not have any disadvantage for a while, but it could only hold them back and could not kill them.
In addition, some information came from the spiritual imprint, which made Rhodes aware of some abnormalities.
According to Rhodes' idea, after the mayor was killed, the Skeleton Warriors lost control and would fight these ghosts. However, the situation did not develop as Rhodes expected. At this time, the Skeleton Warriors were nowhere to be seen, and instead the vampires were there. Hold down two ghosts.
Although he did not carefully observe the situation on the battlefield, after quickly understanding the vampire's information through the spiritual imprint, Rhodes did not care about the vampire, but focused on dealing with the enemy in front of him.
The situation on the battlefield flashed through Rhode's mind. Since he didn't know what happened to the mayor, and the other undead creatures on the battlefield were all gathering towards him, Rhodes needed to quickly deal with the Necromancer. , otherwise it will become even more disadvantageous.
Looking at these undead creatures in front of him, Rhodes knew that even if he used magic, he would not be able to kill them all in a short time. Therefore, he could only forcefully kill the necromancer who controlled them.
Rhodes raised his hand, and a magic ring of ice centered on Rhodes and struck in all directions.
Just as Rhodes expected, just after Rhodes released a spell, a red light flashed not far away, and a magic arrow was shot in this direction.
Ignoring the surrounding undead creatures that were exposed due to the impact, Rhodes dodged and while dodging the magic arrows, he rushed in the direction of the magic.
Under Rhodes' full speed sprint, he passed directly over the ghost blocking the front. Through the firelight generated around him, Rhodes could vaguely see the Necromancer who had been hiding in the dark.
There are still some ghosts left around the necromancer for protection, but the number is small, only a few. Most of the ghosts have been fighting beside Rhodes before.
At this time, the necromancer also realized what Rhodes was thinking, raised his hand and released a fireball, and then hurriedly controlled the ghosts who had previously fought Rhodes and let them pursue Rhodes.
Seeing the fireball shooting towards him, Rhodes raised his hand and shot an ice arrow forward. The ice arrow hit the fireball directly in the air, causing an explosion between the two.
Rhodes was about to take advantage of this opportunity to rush towards the Necromancer, but he only saw a wall of fire rising not far away.
The undead creatures behind also recovered from the impact of the ice magic ring and began to rush towards Rodrod.
Rhodes knew that even if he wanted to bypass the wall of fire, he would be blocked by the next wall of fire, and would only be caught up by the undead creatures behind him.
Taking advantage of the wall of fire blocking the Necromancer's sight, Rhodes unleashed his fire-bending magic on himself, and then rushed behind the wall of fire.
In an instant, Rhodes passed through the wall of fire. Due to the protection of fire-bending magic, Rhodes only suffered the magic damage caused by the fire wall.
The fire-bending magic seemed to attach a shell of fire magic to the outside of Rhodes' body, blocking part of the damage from the fire wall. More importantly, it prevented Rhodes' black robe from burning due to the flames.
The necromancer behind the wall of fire obviously did not expect that the enemy in front of him would directly pass through the wall of fire and come to attack him. He was about to raise his hand and release magic again, but saw an ice arrow coming in front of him.
The necromancer hurriedly dodged to the side, dodging the ice arrow in a panic. Just as he stood up, he found that the ghost beside him was killed instantly.
Through the firelight emitted by the fire wall not far away, the Necromancer saw a hooded black figure rushing towards him. However, due to the surrounding light, the Necromancer could only see an outline clearly, and it was difficult to see clearly under the hood. face.
The necromancer just raised his hand, but only saw a flash of sword light. Then, the Necromancer's consciousness quickly faded away, and he could no longer sense anything.
