After the death of the Necromancer, all the undead creatures around Rhodes lost control.
The ghosts will not attack each other. Their target is still Rhodes and they start to attack Rhodes.
Upon seeing this, Rhodes quickly cast his spiritual mark on the surrounding undead creatures.
In just an instant, the ghosts that crossed the wall of fire and attacked Rhodes were controlled by Rhodes one by one.
The ghost was not affected in any way after Rhodes used the spiritual mark, and began to attack the surrounding enemies, that is, the ghosts controlled by Rhodes.
Rhodes knew that the ghost had broken away from the category of low-level undead creatures and belonged to a higher level of undead creatures.
If you want to save the battle and directly control the ghost, unless the necromancer has a deep knowledge of spiritual imprints, or is the creator of the ghost.
Rhodes's spiritual imprint is only the most basic level. It was only learned through Ailot's magic book and has not been further improved. Therefore, Rhodes can only conquer the ghost through fighting.
In this regard, Rhodes was no longer anxious, but took out a healing magic scroll from the space ring and tore it open.
It turned out that the necromancer was best at fire magic, so by forcefully crossing the fire wall, less than half of Rhodes' health disappeared instantly.
Although protected by the firebending magic, Rhodes' body was not burned by the flames, but forcibly passing through the fire wall still caused Rhodes to lose a lot of health, which affected Rhodes's overall attributes.
Therefore, Rhodes needs to use the healing magic scroll to restore his health.
Under the influence of this magic, the health lost by Rhodes after passing through the fire wall gradually recovered, but the recovery speed was relatively slow.
While waiting, Rhodes used his spiritual mark to control the large group of ghosts in front of him and fight with two ghosts not far away.
Rhodes didn't think about killing the two ghosts with ghosts alone. He mainly let the ghosts defend and encircle them.
After waiting for a while, after most of his health had recovered, Rhodes stood up and walked towards the mansion, ignoring the ghost not far away.
Previously, while the health was recovering, the ghost, under the control of Rhodes, separated the two ghosts. The ghosts no longer have that kind of mutual cooperation, and the ghosts focus on defense, so they won't be killed by the ghosts for a while.
Rhodes looked in the direction of the mayor's mansion and had a vague feeling in his heart.
In the previous battle, in order to quickly deal with the necromancer, Rhodes released multiple spells, and his mana dropped from the original full 90 points to only the last 5 points.
Since there is not much mana left at this time, it is difficult to continue to cast any spells. Thinking of the next battle, Rhodes needs to use all the power on the battlefield.
Since the two ghosts at the back were already surrounded by ghosts and were far away from the mansion, Rhodes didn't need to worry about them for a while.
At this time, Rhodes' focus was on the undead creatures controlled by the necromancer. There are still a large number of zombies and two ghosts left in the courtyard ahead, waiting for Rhodes to deal with them.
Rhodes came to the courtyard where the undead creatures were and quickly observed the situation in the field. At this time, the vampires were still fighting the two ghosts, while all the undead creatures on the mayor's side had disappeared, leaving an empty space outside the mansion.
The remaining undead creatures in the field, except for the two ghosts fighting vampires, are mostly walking corpses. The original ghosts were transferred back to themselves by the necromancer and have long been controlled by Rhodes.
Rhodes looked at the walking corpses in front of him and was about to use the spiritual mark. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he gave up using the spiritual mark and instead charged towards the walking corpses with his sword.
After controlling the previous group of ghosts, Rhodes used a lot of spiritual attributes in order to cast the spiritual mark. The remaining control spirit was directly occupied, and a lot of Rhodes' own mental attributes were also occupied.
At this time, Rhodes's mental attributes were less than 5 points.
Since Rhodes' current profession is still a swordsman, although spiritualism has an impact on Rhodes' career choice when he advances, because Rhodes is still at the second level, he cannot get the bonus of controlling the spirit brought by the level profession.
Therefore, Rhodes cannot control a large number of undead creatures like the original necromancer.
Thinking of this, Rhodes turned his attention to the two ghosts in the field.
At this time, the ghosts were constantly attacking the vampires. With the cooperation of the two ghosts, the vampires could only be restrained, and it was difficult to find a chance to fight back for a while.
In addition to the ghosts, the walking dead also attacked the vampires. Due to the large number of zombies, the battlefield was surrounded.
Facing the numerous undead creatures around and being surrounded, it seemed difficult for the vampire to deal with it. Long before Rhodes arrived on the battlefield, the vampire used bat transformation.
The bats produced after the bat transformation can deal with the walking corpses very well, but with the help of the surrounding ghosts, the bats are quickly killed, and the remaining walking corpses are injured.
While the zombies were focusing their attention on the bat, Rhodes joined the battlefield with a sword.
Since Rhodes instantly joined the battlefield, the zombies in front of Rhodes were directly killed, and the surrounding zombies did not even react.
Rhodes kept moving, killing towards the location of the ghost.
If ordinary ghosts still need Rhodes to find opportunities to kill them, then the walking zombies are completely unable to resist Rhodes.
In Rhode's view, the zombies are full of flaws and there is no need to deliberately look for opportunities to take action. Without the command of the necromancer, the identity of the low-level undead creatures of the walking dead was revealed again.
Rhodes killed in the direction of the ghost, and the zombies around him were completely unable to restrict Rhodes' pace.
Due to the limitations of his mental attributes, Rhodes did not choose to control the walking zombies around him, but directly killed them.
For players, after using spiritual marks to control undead creatures, even if they kill them, they cannot obtain their experience points.
The spiritual mark cannot be easily removed. Unless the strength reaches a certain level, only by killing undead creatures can the spiritual mark be accessed.
Determined not to control these zombies, Rhodes quickly killed the zombies around him. Since there were a lot of zombies, Rhodes came to the ghost.
Rhodes gave the order to the vampire through his spiritual mark. The vampire, who was originally focused on resisting the attack, received the order and cooperated with Rhodes to attack one of the ghosts without paying any attention to the surrounding undead creatures.
Facing the vampire's attack, Yinhun directly raised his hand to block it, and a dark light flashed across his body. This kind of ordinary attack had little effect on Yinhun. Another ghost next to him took this opportunity to attack the vampire.
At this time, Rhodes rushed out from the side, and while the ghost was resisting the vampire's attack, he slashed it with his sword.
Yinhun reacted instantly, turned his body sideways, and immediately raised his arm to block Rhodes' attack. The vampire followed immediately, completely ignoring the surrounding undead creatures and just attacking the ghosts.
Yin Hun raised his hand to resist again, but the vampire directly grabbed Yin Hun's hand bones. On the side, Rhodes' next attack also arrived. Yin Hun was unable to move under the control of the vampire.
The sword blade scratched Yinhun's neck, and Yinhun fell from the air and fell to the ground.
Another ghost seemed to notice this and attacked directly towards Rhodes. Rhodes turned sideways and dodged the attack of the ghost.
Rhodes did not attack the ghost immediately, but looked at the nearest zombie and controlled it in an instant.
Following Rhodes' instructions, the zombies rushed forward and grabbed the ghost's body.
The ghost obviously did not expect that the walking zombies that originally attacked the vampire would directly attack him, and the walking zombies directly grabbed his body.
Although ghosts are much more powerful than low-level undead creatures, they are still not as powerful as vampires.
The ghost waved his bone claws, trying to kill the walking corpse in front of him. The walking corpse followed Rhodes' control and tightly grasped the ghost.
While the Yin Soul was dealing with the walking corpse, the vampire came directly behind the Yin Soul, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Yin Soul was attacking the walking corpse with all its strength, and pounced directly on the Yin Soul.
The ghost was aware of the attack from behind, but could not deal with it for a while.
Because the walking corpse is clinging to the ghost, even if the ghost wants to dodge to the side, it cannot move quickly because its body is caught.
The vampire took advantage of the moment when Yin Hun was dealing with the zombies with all his strength, and directly grabbed Yin Hun's cervical spine, together with the cloth robe on Yin Hun's body. The vampire only needs to pull hard to kill the ghost instantly.
Seeing this, Rhodes cast his spiritual mark directly on the ghost. Yin Hun also realized this, and under the pressure of death, Yin Hun had no choice but to accept it.
When the ghost accepted the mark, the vampire let go of its grip on the spine, and the ghost began to slowly flash some dark light, restoring its health.
Rhodes checked the system log and found that this ghost occupied a total of 1.7 of his mental attributes.
There is a big gap between high-level undead creatures. Although they are the same type of undead creatures, their strengths are completely different, and the experience points they provide are also different.
The strength of this ghost can only be said to be average among third-level creatures, so it only occupies 1.7 of Rhodes' mental attributes.
After the ghosts were subdued, there were still some zombies around. Since the ghosts were subdued, these zombies began to attack the ghosts. Although the strength of this ghost is only average among the third level, there is still no problem in dealing with these walking corpses.
Rhodes left the ghost behind to deal with the walking corpses around him, while he led the vampire to the front of the mansion, where the mayor originally stood.
Following the vampire's guidance, Rhodes came to the corpse of the mayor killed by the vampire.
Perhaps the Skeleton Warriors retreated quickly and did not bring the mayor's body back to the mansion. Rhodes also took this opportunity to come and inspect the mayor's body.
The corpse is easily identifiable. Next to the skeletons of the ghosts and skeleton warriors, there is only one corpse with incomplete flesh and blood, which is completely different from the surrounding skeletons.
Rhodes came to the body, stretched out his hand, and felt it.
In an instant, Rhodes stood up and walked towards the back of the battlefield with the vampire, no longer paying attention to the things around him.
Returning to the ghost who was fighting the zombies, Rhodes ignored the ghost and directly swung his sword to kill several zombies who tried to attack him. Without stopping, he walked towards the back.
In the process of returning, Rhodes remembered the previous touch on his hand. The body was cold and hard, and the blood was completely coagulated.
Rhodes realized that this corpse was not the mayor of the town. Even if the mayor was a necromancer during his lifetime, his body would not look like this after death.
Time has not passed long. If this corpse is really the mayor, there should still be some warmth left. At least when Rhodes feels it, the flesh and blood on his body will not be as cold as if he has been dead for a long time. The blood should also flow around, not just solidify.
Rhodes realized that the mayor was not dead. The person standing at the door was not the mayor at all. The corpse in front of him might just be that of an ordinary zombie.
The mayor did not leave the mansion, but asked the zombies to pretend to be him from the beginning. In order to make Rhodes believe it, he even commanded the walking corpse to make corresponding actions every time he released magic.
Rhodes recalled the time when he came to the mansion to confirm. At that time, the mayor walked out of the mansion, probably disguised as a walking corpse. No matter the appearance or the aura of the necromancer, it was not much different from what Rhodes had seen before. There were just some abnormalities in the subtleties, but Rhodes didn't do it either. care.
Rhodes knew that a simple disguise could not fool him, and the mayor must have used a spell on the walking corpse.
Since he was exposed to a lot of spells in his previous life, Rhodes was no stranger to this spell that specifically changes his appearance. It is the second-level disguise method.
What Rhodes didn't expect was that the mayor actually knew this spell. Disguise is a relatively rare spell. Because this spell is extremely effective, it requires a lot of money to obtain it directly from the magic guild. It is difficult for ordinary apprentices to learn it.
The disguise method is an air magic in terms of category, which is completely different from the spell used by the mayor before. This is why Rhodes did not consider it before.
It was this camouflage technique that allowed the mayor to be safely inside the mansion, observing all the scenes on the battlefield, and allowing Rhodes to fight the necromancer behind.
The reason why the mayor pretended to allow Rhodes to withstand this danger may be because of the existence of disguise. If the mayor's true form had come out, he might have been killed by a bat's surprise attack.
Once the location of the Necromancer's body is known to the enemy, he will be in great danger.
Rhodes obviously did not expect that the person standing in front of the mansion was just a mayor disguised as a zombie, and he successfully deceived him.
Although the mayor successfully deceived Rhodes into fighting the necromancer, he still contained these ghosts so that Rhodes did not suffer much loss.
At this time, Rhodes returned to the battlefield at the rear to deal with the remaining two ghosts.
While letting the vampires deal with these two ghosts, Rhodes also realized something and began to feel a little vigilant.
After the death of the Necromancer, the mayor did not fight for their control. Instead, he stayed inside the mansion and gave up all the undead creatures to Rhodes.
Rhodes realized that the mayor was preparing something more important inside the mansion.
Realizing this, Rhodes led the vampires and quickly came to the ghosts surrounded by ghosts and subdued them one by one.
After subduing the two ghosts, Rhodes did not dispose of the corpse of the necromancer, but directly led the undead creatures under his command to the mayor's mansion.
