  Chapter 17 Siege II

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

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

These corpses don't look any different from the walking corpses, the only difference being that they don't have Soul Fire. It is through the Soul Evocation Technique that Rhodes activates the Soul Fire of corpses to transform them into walking corpses.

It's not that Rhodes doesn't want to activate the Soul Fire of all the walking dead, it's that Rhodes has no mana.

Before activating the Soul Fire of the Walking Dead, Rhodes first changed the title he wore to [Undead mage], and the Soul Evocation Technique level was increased by Level 1, equivalent to an extra skill point added to the Soul Evocation Technique .

Relying on the Intermediate Soul Evocation Technique, Rhodes only consumes 1 mana per walking corpse when he evokes the walking corpses.

Originally, relying on the Soul Evocation Technique to create undead creatures requires 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 Soul Fire.

But here, because there is enough death energy in the tomb, the transformation of these corpses to the body is almost complete, and it can be transformed into a walking corpse only by activating the Soul Fire.

Rhodes suspects that's why Elliot has so many undead creatures. With the death energy provided by this tomb to help him complete most of the Soul Evocation Technique, all Elliot needs to do is provide the corpse and activate the Soul Fire.

Of course, the transformation inside the tomb takes a certain amount of time. So when Rhodes first woke up, he only saw a corpse that was almost completed and did not see the undead mage apprentice.

The Soul Fire of low-level undead creatures cannot produce any special effects, but can only provide the instinct of killing people. Coupled with the enhanced effects of the Intermediate Soul Evocation Technique, Rhodes can only consume 1 mana to awaken a walking corpse.

Even so, after awakening ten walking corpses, Rhodes still runs out of mana.

If you do not pass the Soul Evocation Technique and let the corpse produce Soul Fire on its own, even if the body reaches the standard of undead creatures under the nourishment of death energy, it will take a long time to produce Soul Fire.

In the riotous wolf pack, Wolf King quickly observed the surrounding situation. After confirming some things, 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 stopped stirring. As if to understand the meaning of Wolf King, the wolves looked towards Rhodes, and then rushed towards Rhodes.

The Wolf King wants to take this opportunity to kill Rhodes, as long as they can kill Rhodes, they still have a chance to escape from the tomb.

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

Rhodes himself, standing behind the skeleton warrior with a sword, looked for an opportunity to strike.

Rhodes naturally wouldn't choose to go forward and fight the wolves recklessly. There is no difference between going forward and fighting recklessly when there are undead creatures, and fighting against the wolves outside the tomb.

In Rhodes' estimation, ten walking corpses, not counting the Wolf King, could handle the remaining wolves. Rhodes just needs to fend off the wolves here and wait for the walking dead from behind 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.

Because the main tomb is not spacious, the wolves want to attack Rhodes and must deal with the skeleton warriors ahead.

Originally, the skeleton warriors rely on instinct to fight, and most of the time their instinctive responses give the enemy a weak spot. But now, with Rhodes' control and its own powerful attributes, the strength of the skeleton warriors has been greatly improved, and the powerful advantages of 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, focusing 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 and 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.

In the face of the skeleton warrior, 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 warrior at the same time.

The rest of the 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 corpses approaching, the wolf in the back began to create confusion. I don't know whether to continue listening to Wolf King's orders, or to give priority to attacking the enemy in front of me.

Rhodes' focus is on controlling the Skeleton Warriors. With the combat experience Rhodes provides, the Skeleton Warrior is like another Rhodes of fierce and unafraid of death, fending off the wolves ahead.

Under Rhodes' control, ordinary wolves not only failed to threaten the skeleton warriors, but were wounded one after another.

Looking at the walking corpses surrounding the wolves behind, Wolf King also knew that he couldn't drag it any further. He had to quickly find a way to deal with the enemy in front of him, so he began to condense his magical abilities.

Spotting the space after the skeleton warrior's sword, the Wolf King spit out a magic divine arrow and shot at the skeleton warrior in front.

There are not many vital points on the skeleton warrior. Because the skull contains the Soul Fire of the skeleton warrior, the only thing that can kill is the skull. Rhodes kept the Skeleton Warrior with a shield on his upper body, preventing Wolf King's magic from hitting his cervical spine. 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 it didn't take long to be killed, because the magic of the Wolf King hit its cervical spine, which is similar to Rhodes' beheading. To kill the skeleton warrior for a reason.

If 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 seen this too. When the iron shield of the skeleton warrior was blocking the cervical vertebra, the magic dive arrow did not shoot at the skeleton warrior's cervical vertebra, but at its lower abdomen. place.

The Skeleton Warrior was hit by the magic dive arrow. If it was replaced by Rhodes, 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 nature of the skeleton creature, the magical dive arrow pierced through what should have been flesh and blood, hitting directly under the skeleton warrior's spine.

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 a spell, the Wolf King smashed 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 warrior also blocked Rhodes, so that Rhodes could not attack the wolves together with the skeleton warrior.

At this point, the Skeleton Warrior fell, with little health left. When the other wolves saw that the Wolf King's magic hit the Skeleton Warrior, they immediately attacked the downed Skeleton Warrior.

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