  Chapter 16 Siege One

The entrance to the tomb is just below the tree, according to Rhodes' idea, You can sneak into the tomb without being discovered by the wolves.

But what made Rhodes didn't expect was that when he went down to the middle of the tree, whether it was due to the breath leaking or wild beast's extreme sensitivity to danger, Wolf King who was eating suddenly raised his head , looking straight at yourself.

Suddenly, the Wolf King let out a loud howl. In the middle of the night, the penetrating power of this howl is extremely strong. The wolves around stopped eating and looked towards the Wolf King.

Rhodes wasn't idle even as the Wolf King howled.

Since his whereabouts were discovered, Rhodes no longer concealed himself, and jumped directly from the middle of the tree to the entrance of the tomb. When he landed, he rolled off most of the impact, and stood up without looking back. Rush deep into the tomb.

Only less than ten meters away, the Wolf King behind him chased directly into the tomb.

The Wolf King's howl brings the rest of the pack together. They lingered at the entrance to the tomb, appearing hesitant, but eventually rushed into the tomb with the Wolf King.

The passage in the tomb is not very long. In the beginning, Rhodes had to observe the terrain in the tomb passage while dealing with undead creatures, and it didn't take long to leave the tomb.

In a very short period of time, Rhodes, running at full speed, passed the position where he killed the skeleton warrior before, and was not far from the place where the walking corpses were placed.

Suddenly, Rhodes, who was running, was shocked, and he felt a palpitation. The perception effect brought by the reconnaissance technique was enhanced to the extreme, Rhodes only felt that his whole body hair stood on end, as if he was in great danger.

Rhodes turned back quickly and saw the running Wolf King open his mouth to condense a burst of magical energy, and then a magical dive arrow formed and shot at him at an extremely fast speed.

Rhodes hastily removed a shield from the space ring. In order to avoid slowing himself down, Rhodes threw his shield directly in the direction of the orbit of the magic divine arrow.

Magic dive arrow hits the shield. With a loud bang, the shield was shot down and fell to the ground, with cracks all over the surface.

Although Rhodes minimized the time for himself to take out his shield and throw it, it still inevitably affected himself. The distance between Wolf King and Rhodes is significantly reduced.

Rhodes didn't care about saving the scroll, and immediately took out from the space ring and tore a magic dive arrow scroll. The broken scroll fell to the ground, apparently unusable again.

In the air, a magical dive arrow takes shape and shoots at the Wolf King. Because of the magic generated by the scroll, it is not as bright and fast as the magic divine arrow cast by the Wolf King.

Although his mana is enough to cast a magic dive arrow, Rhodes decisively chose to use the spell scroll directly in order to cast the Soul Evocation Technique.

The Wolf King slowed down and dodged sideways, avoiding the magic dive arrow. Although the dodge time was not long, it was enough for Rhodes, who was sprinting at full speed, to run a long distance.

Wolf King picks up speed and still chooses to chase Rhodes from behind.

As the Rhodes progressed, the passages went from wide to narrow. Finally, Rhodes saw the silhouette of the skeleton warrior ahead.

Rhodes found that he had returned to the position where he first woke up, surrounded by corpses on display.

When Rhodes saw the Skeleton Warrior, the Skeleton Warrior also found Rhodes and was about to cut Rhodes with his sword.

Rhodes stared at the Soul Fire in the eye sockets of the skeleton warrior. After mastering the spiritual imprint, Rhodes could see the simple emotions displayed by Soul Fire.

Resentment, unwillingness, bloodthirsty, desire to kill... All kinds of emotions are contained in the Soul Fire of the skeleton warrior, the only thing missing is its own will.

…………

“Using [spiritual imprint]…”

“You attempted to control a First Rank undead creature: Skeletal Warrior.”

"Will checking in progress..."

"You successfully controlled the Skeleton Warrior! During the duration of the spiritual imprint, your spirit attribute is reduced by 0.3!"

… …

With a trance, Rhodes felt as though a little bit of his spirit was missing. At the same time, an inexplicable connection also appeared in Rhodes' mind, and the object of the connection was the skeleton warrior in front of him.

Rhodes developed a feeling that he could command the skeleton warrior to do anything.

The skeleton warrior who was about to slash with his sword lowered his weapon. Seeing that the Wolf King was about to come after him, Rhodes sent the skeleton warriors to resist.

Another Skeleton Warrior should be in the tomb behind. Rhodes did not immediately enter the tomb to control it, but set his eyes on the surrounding corpses...

The Wolf King behind him has arrived and is fighting the skeleton warriors, and for a while no one can no matter who.

Unlike Rhodes' flesh and blood, the skeletal undead have a huge advantage against wolves.

Skull warriors have no flesh and blood and don't have to worry about getting hurt. Unable to crush the bones of the Skeleton Warrior's legs, the Wolf King had difficulty limiting its mobility by inflicting damage, instead avoiding the slashing blades of the Skeleton Warrior.

The Skeleton Warrior has a high base attribute and ranks high among First Rank creatures. As long as the sword of the skeleton warrior is solid, the Wolf King will not feel well.

Although Wolf King's rank is higher than that of the skeleton warrior, but due to the restraint of the characteristics, the skeleton warrior cannot be solved for a while.

While the Wolf King and the Skeleton Warrior were fighting, Rhodes entered the tomb at the back, ready to take control of another Skeleton Warrior.

At this point, the wolves in the rear finally arrived, besieging the skeleton warriors together with the Wolf King.

Because of the large advantage in number, the skeleton warriors only had time to hit a few wolves, and the Wolf King found an opportunity. Taking advantage of the space left by the skeleton warriors when they came out with their swords, a magic dive arrow was struck. hit its cervical spine.

After killing the Skeleton Warriors, under the leadership of Wolf King, the wolves crossed the corpses in this place and prepared to enter the rear tomb.

Rhodes stood in the tomb with another skeleton warrior with a weapon, as if he was waiting for the wolves to enter. A sneer.

Wild beast's perception of danger made the Wolf King immediately feel that something was wrong. Before it could let out a howl to command the wolves around, the wolves first made a commotion.

It turned out that, at some point, a large number of walking corpses appeared behind the wolves.

While passing the previous location, the Wolf King judged that there were some corpses around, but didn't pay attention to them. Like the corpses outside, wild beast's intelligence makes it difficult for Wolf King to be alert to corpses on the ground.

Now the group of corpses stood up again, and in an odd shrugging posture, surrounded the wolves.

The reason why this group of walking corpses appeared is that Rhodes performed the Soul Evocation Technique on the displayed corpses. After performing the Soul Evocation Technique, Rhodes immediately used spiritual imprint to control the group of walking dead.

Rhodes used spiritual imprint to control the group of walking corpses, keeping them inactive, waiting until the wolves passed them without noticing before letting them get up.

From the very beginning, Rhodes didn't plan to let any of the wolves out here. Rhodes came up with this method to stop a pack of wolves that didn't feel right from escaping.

There are walking corpses in the back to cut off the retreat, Rhodes will be here to kill the wolves!
