Using the firelight produced by the fireball, Rhodes looked at the centaur leader not far away and had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure whether the guess was correct.
Through the special skills previously displayed by the centaur leader, Rhodes believed that the centaur leader in front of him should belong to the hero level.
Generally speaking, ordinary creatures do not master many special skills.
The formation of a special skill, as mentioned in the introduction of the skill, requires day after day of training to form a special skill that is like instinct.
Therefore, ordinary creatures do not master many special skills. Even if they master many special skills due to the improvement of class, most of them are of the same type, and there are few special skills that span the two systems of combat and spellcasting.
In addition, ordinary skills also require continuous practice to improve their level.
In the original battle, the centaur leader not only showed good fighting skills, but also had many special skills.
Among these special skills, they belong to melee combat, including reconnaissance, leadership, and offensive skills. The centaur leader also has some special magic skills, including water magic and wisdom.
Therefore, based on the experience of his previous life and the intelligence he had obtained, Rhodes realized that the centaur leader in front of him should have reached the hero level.
Thinking of this, Rhodes' eyes narrowed. Rhodes obviously has a deep understanding of heroes.
Heroes can gain powerful attribute bonuses and growth potential, and can steadily master special skills as their strength increases. The player's system is equivalent to an unawakened hero template.
Players cannot obtain hero specialties at the beginning, but they can obtain attribute growth equivalent to the hero's rank and the improvement of special skills.
Due to this characteristic of heroes, compared to ordinary creatures, heroes will have stronger dominance at higher levels.
The protagonists in all expansion packs, without exception, are high-level heroes who have mastered powerful artifacts.
At this time, seeing Rhodes lurking in the dark, the centaur leader gave up on the vampire in front of him and rushed towards Rhodes.
Rhodes held the iron sword in his hand, preparing to face the centaur's attack.
With only the centaur leader left in the enemy, the surrounding darkness, although it allowed Rhodes to hide in the dark, undoubtedly had an impact on Rhodes' own strength.
Therefore, Rhodes chose to release the fireball. The flames generated when the fireball exploded ignited the surrounding environment on the battlefield. This way, Rhodes could better command the undead creatures.
At this time, the centaur leader had already charged a certain distance, and was not far away from Rhodes.
Looking at the centaur leader charging towards him, Rhodes sneered. Although the surrounding light was still dim, the centaur leader's expression was still noticed by Rhodes.
Rhodes quickly raised his hand and shot an ice arrow at the centaur leader in front of him at high speed.
After releasing the ice arrow, Rhodes did not stay where he was, but followed the ice arrow and rushed towards the centaur leader in front.
Seeing the ice arrows shot from the front, the centaur leader was unable to dodge to the side due to the charging speed. He had to hold the battle ax in front of him, hoping to use this method to block the ice arrows shot at him.
The ice arrow hit the ax surface, and instantly a layer of frost formed on the ax surface. However, the ax surface was still intact and did not break like ordinary weapons. However, the centaur leader's footsteps had stopped.
At this time, Rhodes had arrived in front of the centaur leader and waved the weapon in his hand.
Although he blocked the ice arrow, the centaur leader still withstood the impact of the ice arrow for a while and was unable to block Rhode's attack in the first place.
The sword blade passed in front of the centaur leader. Rhodes put away the sword and retreated quickly towards the rear.
The moment Rhodes left, the battle ax slashed down instantly, but it only hit nothing.
Rhodes retreated with one blow, leaving a bloodstain on the centaur leader's abdomen.
In the original battle, Rhodes learned about the defense of the centaur leader's horse body. Therefore, Rhodes' attack did not choose to attack the parts with higher defense, but launched directly towards its body. attack.
Rhodes could not withstand the full blow of the centaur leader. In order to cope with the centaur leader's counterattack, Rhodes did not attack its vital parts.
The bloodstains on the centaur leader's body undoubtedly showed that Rhodes' attack had some effect. The centaur leader's human body obviously did not have as good a defense as the horse's body.
Due to his high physical attributes, the centaur leader's wounds had stopped bleeding at this time and he was launching another attack on Rhodes.
Facing the attack from the centaur leader in front of him, Rhodes performed a series of dodges.
Although the firelight behind him was very dim, neither Rhodes nor the centaur leader in front of him were affected by the light and were able to respond quickly.
At this time, the vampire quickly came behind the centaur leader and pounced directly on the centaur leader in front of him.
The centaur leader was attacking Rhodes, but he immediately discovered the vampire behind him and swung his ax straight to the rear, forcing the vampire back.
Taking advantage of the moment when the centaur leader revealed a flaw, Rhodes raised his hand and fired a magic arrow instantly.
Since there was only the last enemy left and the remaining centaurs around him had been killed first, Rhodes no longer retained mana and instead released spells with all his strength.
The centaur leader understood the damage that the spell could bring, and still used the previous method, placing the battle ax horizontally in front of him to block the magic arrows.
At this time, Rhodes came out directly behind the magic arrow.
Rhodes thrust out his sword from the front. The blade was a little beside the battle axe, and it pierced directly into the centaur leader's chest, instantly piercing through its heart.
Pain instantly filled the centaur leader's mind, but the centaur leader kept moving. Just when he was about to swing his weapon to kill the enemy in front of him, a powerful impact suddenly appeared in front of him.
This powerful impact pushed the centaur leader's entire body backward.
When the sword blade penetrated the centaur leader's body, Rhodes immediately released the ice magic ring. In this way, the centaur leader's counterattack was resolved.
At this time, the centaur leader was severely injured, and the most serious injury was at the heart where Rhodes had pierced him with his sword.
The centaur leader's body was obviously weak in recovery, and blood was constantly oozing out from the wound.
With just one blow, Rhodes severely injured the centaur leader. This relied more on Rhodes' grasp of the timing of the attack and the connection between skills. In addition, due to the increase in rank, Rhodes's all attributes have been improved to a certain extent, and his overall strength has been greatly improved.
