As the black clouds spread further around, darkness gradually shrouded the surroundings, minimizing the role of sight.
The dark environment did not form instantly. A lot of time had passed since Rhodes used the dark protection.
In the previous battle, although the surrounding light was dim, Rhodes was still able to see the surrounding situation clearly with the help of Eagle Eye. But now, like the centaurs around him, Rhodes is also unable to see the surrounding environment clearly.
Even so, Rhodes still found a chance to win. Compared with himself, the centaurs around him should be more panicked.
This must be the first time for these centaurs to see such black clouds similar to the dark sky. Although they have heard of the dark sky of Diya in the past, it is the first time for these centaurs to experience being directly shrouded in black clouds.
After the surroundings were plunged into darkness, the role of vision was reduced to a minimum. Even if you put your hands in front of your eyes and wave them, it's difficult to see clearly.
After realizing that the surrounding light was gradually disappearing, the centaur leader gathered the surrounding centaurs together in time.
Although the surroundings were shrouded in darkness, Rhodes did not command the undead creatures to attack first, but was waiting for the Centaur leader's move.
Generally speaking, if you master the basic four-series magic, in addition to getting bonuses from spells, you can also directly use magic elements, such as igniting flames, summoning water flow, etc.
This was exactly how the Centaur leader summoned a stream of water to extinguish the remaining flames of the fireball. This allowed Rhodes to learn that it had the ability to cast spells.
Therefore, even if the surroundings fell into darkness, Rhodes did not easily allow the undead creatures to attack. In this case, if the centaur leader in front of him mastered fire magic, he could quickly ignite the surroundings.
Flames can greatly reduce the effectiveness of dark shelter, which Rhodes already learned during the battle of the mansion. Therefore, Rhodes is still waiting aside. If the flames rise, Rhodes needs to quickly learn water magic and summon water to extinguish it.
After waiting for a while, Rhodes didn't see any fire.
Rhodes recalled that the centaur race as a whole did not have magical talents. Instead, they focused more on melee combat. Basically, any centaur that reaches adulthood has the strength of the second level, and can enter the third level with a little training.
In the territory of Eli, centaurs mostly exist as marauders. Compared with their talents in melee combat, the centaurs' spellcasting talents are really not that good.
The centaur leader obviously focused on melee combat. Although he didn't know its special skills, at this time, Rhodes realized that it might not have mastered any spells.
If the centaur leader in front of him had fire magic, he would use it now without putting the entire team at a disadvantage due to darkness.
After realizing this, under Rhodes' command, the surrounding undead creatures suddenly took action.
Most of the undead creatures rely on the perception brought by the soul fire to observe everything around them. The dark environment will not have much impact on the undead creatures.
The perception range of low-level undead creatures is very small, and what they need more is the control of the necromancer. Undead creatures such as vampires have eye structures, but also retain this ability to perceive.
Darkness is undoubtedly the best cover for undead creatures, which is why the dark sky was originally created.
Taking advantage of the darkness around them, the ghost moved towards the group of centaurs, making no sound as it moved.
At this time, due to the darkness around them, despite the command of the centaur leader, the surrounding centaurs were inevitably a little panicked and their morale began to decline.
If the centaur leader can directly raise a ball of fire at this time and illuminate the surroundings, perhaps these centaurs can still fight bravely. But at this time, facing the darkness around them, these centaurs could only hold their weapons to resist the attacks of unknown enemies.
As the ghosts gradually approached, these centaurs keenly sensed the danger. Due to the loss of vision, the team began to become a little chaotic. However, with the roar of the centaur leader, the panic gradually subsided, and the entire team would be vigilant. Raised to the highest level.
At this time, although Rhodes could not see the group of centaurs in front of him through his eyes, with his grasp of the battle situation, the surrounding undead creatures stopped instantly at Rhodes's signal.
Even if these centaurs are in darkness and their strength is greatly weakened, if the ghosts are allowed to come forward and fight hard, they will still suffer a lot of losses.
The advancing ghost stopped when it was still some distance away from the centaur. Since there is no light around them, even though these centaurs are still on alert, they have no idea that the enemy is in front of them.
There was a moment of calm in the field, leaving only the heavy breathing of the centaurs.
For this group of centaurs, they must be more vigilant because they sense that the enemy may launch an attack, but they do not know the enemy's location or when the enemy will launch an attack. This vigilance cannot be relaxed at all times.
When you lose your vision, you can only rely on your own feelings to alert your surroundings. Maintaining this kind of vigilance is undoubtedly very energy-consuming, and it is through this method that Rhodes hopes to cause chaos within the Centaur.
From previous battles, Rhodes learned that the black cloud created by Dark Shelter can last for a long time, and there is no need to worry about the black cloud dissipating in a short time.
Therefore, Rhodes had enough time to deal with the group of centaurs in front of him.
At Rhodes's signal, the two ghosts in front quickly launched an attack on the centaur on the outermost edge. The moment the ghost took action, the centaur directly waved its weapon and faced the ghost in front.
Because the centaur was always on alert, coupled with its own combat experience, even if it did not see the enemy, it sensed the danger the moment the enemy took action, and directly waved its weapon to resist the ghost's attack.
At this time, while the centaur was fending off the ghost in front of it, another ghost quickly launched an attack and scratched a claw in front of the centaur, leaving several deep blood marks.
After a successful blow, the two ghosts retreated towards the rear at high speed, leaving only the injured centaur in place.
Hearing the sound of fighting, the other surrounding centaurs immediately rushed over to support their companions, but to no avail. The ghosts had already retreated into the darkness before they arrived.
Whether it was the collision sound when the centaur was fighting the ghost, or the cry after the centaur was injured, it deeply stimulated the other centaurs around them, and fear began to spread in the hearts of these centaurs.
