Chapter 17 Siege 2

With a group of walking corpses blocking the retreat behind, the wolves suddenly rioted.

There were only ten walking corpses, and behind them, there were still some corpses.

These corpses look no different from the walking dead, the only difference being that they don't have soul fire. It was through spiritualism that Rhodes activated the soul fire of the corpses to transform them into walking corpses.

It's not that Rhodes doesn't want to activate the soul fire of all the walking corpses, but that Rhodes has no mana.

Before activating the soul fire of the walking corpse, Rhodes first changed the title he wore to [Necromancer], and the spiritualism level was increased by one level, which was equivalent to adding an extra skill point to the spiritualism.

Relying on intermediate-level spiritualism, when Rhodes evokes walking corpses, each walking corpse only consumes 1 mana.

Originally, relying on spiritualism to create undead creatures required a lot of mana. Most of this mana is used to transform the flesh of corpses, turning them into the undead race, and only a small part is used to activate the fire of the soul.

But here, because there is enough death energy in the tomb, the transformation of these corpses to the body is almost complete, and it only needs to activate the fire of the soul, it can be transformed into a walking corpse.

Rhodes guessed that this was also the reason why Elliot had so many undead creatures. With the death energy provided by this tomb to help him complete most of the process of spiritualism, all Elote needs to do is provide the corpse and activate the fire of the soul.

Of course, the transformation inside the tomb takes a certain amount of time. Therefore, after Rhodes woke up at first, he only saw the nearly completed corpse in one place, and he did not see the necromancer apprentice.

The soul fire of low-level undead creatures cannot produce any special effects, and can only provide the instinct to kill the living. Coupled with the improvement of the effect brought by the intermediate spiritism, Rhodes can only consume 1 mana to awaken a walking corpse.

Even so, after awakening ten walking corpses, Rhode's mana was still exhausted.

If you let the corpse generate the fire of the soul by itself without spiritualism, even if the body reaches the standard of an undead creature under the nourishment of death energy, it will take a long time to generate the fire of the soul.

In the riotous wolf pack, the wolf king quickly observed the surrounding situation. After confirming some things, the wolf king's eyes returned to Rhodes. It noticed that the enemy in front of him was the manipulator of all this.

The wolf king let out a howl, and the wolves suddenly stopped commotion. As if to understand the meaning of the wolf king, the wolves looked at Rhodes, and then rushed towards Rhodes.

The wolf king wanted to take this opportunity to kill Rhodes, as long as they could kill Rhodes, they would still have a chance to escape from the tomb.

After seeing the movements of the wolves, Rhode issued an order through the spiritual imprint, and the skeleton warrior beside him immediately stepped forward and raised his shield to face the wolves in front of him.

And Rhodes himself stood behind the skeleton warrior with a sword, looking for an opportunity to shoot.

Rhode naturally would not choose to go forward and fight recklessly with the wolves. There is no difference between going forward and fighting recklessly when there are undead creatures, and fighting against the wolves outside the tomb.

According to Rhodes' estimation, ten walking corpses can deal with the remaining wolves if the wolf king is not counted. Rhodes only needs to resist the wolves here and wait for the walking corpses at the rear to arrive.

In the rear, the walking corpse was thrown off by the wolves due to the speed, and could only follow slowly behind, I don't know how long it would take to catch up.

Since the main tomb is not spacious, if the wolves want to attack Rhodes, they must deal with the skeleton warriors in front.

Originally, the skeleton warriors fought all by instinct, and many times the instinctive responses gave the enemy a flaw. But now, with Rhodes' control and his own powerful attributes, the strength of the Skeleton Warriors has been greatly improved, and the advantages of powerful attributes can finally be brought into play.

The skeleton warriors in front blocked the attack of the wolves very well.

Under the control of Rhodes, the skeleton warrior always protects the shield in front of his body,

Focus on defending the vital parts, and the blade in his hand is only cut off when the wolves bite the leg bone.

The skeleton warrior is not afraid of pain, not afraid of injury. It is difficult to kill the Skeleton Warriors in a short period of time only by the damage caused by the wolf biting the leg bones.

When facing the skeleton warriors, although the wolves have an advantage in number, because the tomb is not spacious, in order to leave room for dodging, only a few wolves can attack the skeleton warriors at the same time.

The remaining wolves could only crowd at the entrance of the tomb. Although they wanted to attack the enemy in front of them, they couldn't do anything for a while.

Watching the walking corpse gradually approach, the wolf behind him began to be in chaos. He didn't know whether to continue listening to the wolf king's orders or to give priority to attacking the enemy in front of him.

Rhode's attention was all on controlling the skeleton warrior. With the combat experience provided by Rhodes, the skeleton warrior seems to be another Rhodes who is not afraid of death, resisting the wolves in front.

Under the control of Rhodes, the ordinary wolf not only failed to threaten the skeleton warrior, but was injured one after another.

Looking at the walking corpses surrounding the wolves behind, the wolf king also knew that he couldn't continue to drag it any longer. He had to quickly find a way to solve the enemy in front of him, so he began to condense his magic power.

Seeing the space after the skeleton warrior's sword, the wolf king spit out a magic arrow and shot it at the skeleton warrior in front.

There are not many vital points on the skeleton warrior. Because the skull contains the fire of the skeleton warrior's soul, the only thing that can kill is the skull. Rhodes has always asked the skeleton warrior to raise a shield to protect the upper body, preventing the magic of the wolf king from hitting the cervical vertebrae. Even if the rest of the body is damaged, the skeleton warrior can continue to fight for a while.

In the beginning, Rhodes sent a skeleton warrior to block the approaching wolves, but he was killed after a short time. The reason was that the wolf king's magic hit its cervical vertebra, which is similar to Rhodes killing the skeleton warrior by beheading. a truth.

If it is not hit by magic, the skeleton warrior can block the wolves for a long time with the bite of the wolf pack alone.

The wolf king may have also seen this. When the iron shield of the skeleton warrior was blocking the cervical vertebra, the magic arrow did not shoot at the skeleton warrior's cervical vertebra, but at its lower abdomen.

The Skeleton Warrior couldn't catch up and was hit by the magic arrow. If it was replaced by Rhodes himself, there might be a chance to avoid it, but the spiritual imprint alone could not make the Skeleton Warrior dodge in time.

Due to the characteristics of skeleton creatures, the magic arrow passed through the position that should have been flesh and blood, and hit directly below the spine of the skeleton warrior.

With an explosion, the skeleton warrior fell to the ground. The spine is connected to the entire lower body of the skeleton warrior. After being hit, it breaks directly, and the skeleton warrior loses the ability to move.

With just one spell, the Wolf King devastated the skeleton warrior.

Because the passage is slightly narrow, only one skeleton warrior can keep the wolves out of the tomb. But at the same time, the skeleton warriors also blocked Rhodes, preventing Rhodes from attacking the wolves together with the skeleton warriors.

At this point, the skeleton warrior fell, and his health was running out. When the other wolves saw that the wolf king's magic hit the skeleton warrior, they immediately attacked the fallen skeleton warrior.

Just as a wolf was about to bite the cervical vertebrae of the fallen skeleton warrior, a silver light flashed, the wolf head fell, blood splattered everywhere, staining the gray-white bones on the ground red, and Rhode shot.
