At this time, Rhodes was still observing in secret because he had not yet confirmed the location of the Necromancer.

Until now, the necromancer has only used fire wall and fire-bending magic. Both spells can be released directly at the target.

Since there is no exact trajectory, Rhodes cannot rely solely on the fluctuations of magic to find out where the necromancer is hiding. Therefore, Rhodes was still observing the situation on the battlefield.

As the battle progressed, the battlefield fell into a stalemate for a while. Whenever the wall of fire dissipates, the two of them will replace it in its original position, but there is no other action.

Apart from using the Slowing Technique on the ghosts, the mayor then stopped taking any action and just relied on the skeleton warrior to resist the ghosts in front. The necromancer wanted to break through the stalemate with the help of the four ghosts in front.

At this time, the advantage of the mayor's combat experience is reflected. At this moment of stalemate, the mayor's skeleton warrior pressed forward with his shield, pushing the ghost back.

Facing the impact of the iron shield, because the speed of the ghosts was slowed down and their cooperation with each other deteriorated, they could only be forced to retreat. And behind the ghost is where the wall of fire is.

Skeleton warriors gathered in large numbers in front of the ghost, trying to force the ghost into the wall of fire.

Just when the ghost was not far from the wall of fire, a burning fireball flew towards the skeleton warrior from behind all the undead creatures.

The fireball passed directly through the fire wall and flew towards the back of the fire wall, while the ghosts on the side received orders from the necromancer and accurately avoided the trajectory of the fireball.

The fireball passed by these ghosts and directly hit the shield held by a skeleton warrior in front.

There was only an explosion, and the shield in the skeleton warrior's hand shattered. The skeleton warrior who was directly hit by the fireball was blown away by the fireball, and fell to the ground with the skeleton warrior behind it.

Within the scope of the fireball explosion, even with a shield as a defense, the skeleton warrior suffered considerable damage. The impact caused by the fireball explosion caused the Skeleton Warriors' originally tight formation to be immediately dispersed.

In order to suppress the ghosts, almost all the skeleton warriors came to the front of the fire wall. If it weren't for the purpose of stepping forward to suppress the ghost, even if the necromancer behind fired a fireball, it would not be able to achieve such a good effect.

After the fireball hit, the ghost rushed directly towards the fallen skeleton warrior and instantly killed the skeleton warrior who had lost the protection of his shield.

The fireball sent by the necromancer achieved a lot of results. Coupled with the offensive of these ghosts, the mayor's skeleton warriors suffered a lot of losses.

However, this fireball also exposed the location of the Necromancer himself. Following the trajectory of the fireball, Rhodes found the possible location of the Necromancer.

For Rhodes, the best thing to do at this time is to continue waiting. Whether it is the mayor or the necromancer, since they have already begun to cast damaging spells, in this case, the mana will be consumed quickly.

Once their mana is exhausted, they can only rely on the undead creatures under their command to fight, and in this way, their strength can be lost.

However, Rhodes took action as soon as he saw the fireball shot out. He lurked himself in the darkness and started moving towards the Necromancer's position.

Rhodes knew that if he continued to wait, after the skeleton warriors in front of the mansion were cleared, the mayor would retreat directly into the mansion. Although there was a wall of fire blocking him, the mayor should have mastered the magic of fire control and could forcefully pass through the wall of fire. If you retreat to the mansion, you will only be seriously injured at most.

If Rhodes hadn't noticed anything unusual from inside the mansion, he would have definitely asked the mayor to retreat inside. However, according to Rhodes' perception, it was best to keep the mayor outside the mansion. Therefore, Rhodes had to take action.

Rhodes walked quickly in the direction of the Necromancer for a while. Suddenly, the vampire rushed out from Rhodes and faced the ghost lurking in the darkness, preparing to launch a sneak attack on Rhodes.

The ghost was also not affected by the darkness. After noticing the lurking Rhodes, he first conveyed the message to the necromancer, and then followed the necromancer's order to prepare to use this opportunity to attack.

Due to the darkness all around, although it provided Rhodes with the convenience of hiding, it also made it impossible for Rhodes to see clearly the surrounding situation. The previous battlefield was able to see clearly due to the firelight generated by the fire wall.

If the vampire hadn't noticed Yin Hun's sneak attack first and stepped forward to attack Yin Hun first, maybe he wouldn't have noticed the abnormality until Rhodes got to Yin Hun's side.

Seeing the vampire fighting with the ghost, Rhodes was not surprised. Rhodes had predicted in advance that there would definitely be undead creatures around the necromancer for protection. What surprised Rhodes was that the necromancer controlled so many ghosts.

Counting the one he killed originally, plus the ghosts currently fighting the skeleton warrior, the necromancer controlled a total of six ghosts.

However, except for the ghosts, in this attack, the number of ghosts and zombies was not more than the last time, but the number was similar to the last time.

Rhodes realized that the six ghosts, plus this large group of undead creatures, were what gave the necromancer the courage to take on the task of destroying the town.

If it hadn't been for Rhode's surprise attack last time, which resulted in the death of a ghost, and the ghosts had to be left behind for protection, the mayor's skeleton warriors wouldn't have been able to resist for long when six ghosts appeared together, even if they used magic.

Even so, this necromancer is only at the apprentice level and has not yet reached the level of a formal mage. Once he reaches the level of a formal mage, even if he controls a lot of undead creatures, the spells he casts will have a qualitative change and will not be like what they are now.

Rhodes knew that before reaching the fourth level, mages would not master many self-protection spells. Among the low-level spells that could protect themselves, there were only a few such as ice rings.

The powerful life-saving spells of mages, such as teleportation and the like, are all of a high level, and if you want to learn them from the magic guild, you need to pay a certain price. Not just gold coins, but many other things.

At this time, the vampire is at war with the ghost.

Facing the vampire's attack, Yinhun didn't put much resistance, but directly traded wounds with the vampire with every move.

Due to the dim light, Rhodes could not clearly see the situation in the field, but he could vaguely see the dark light flashing on the ghost's body. When fighting the vampire, the ghost used his own power to restrain the vampire.

The ghost in front of him was obviously stronger than the ghost that Rhodes saw at the beginning, but neither the vampire nor the ghost could kill each other in a short time. Even if he attacks with all his strength, due to his high combat experience, it is still impossible to determine the outcome in a short period of time.

At this time, according to the instructions in Rhodes' spiritual mark, the vampires in the battle directly transformed into bats.

The bat flew out from in front of the ghost, but ignored the ghost in front of him and quickly flew in the direction of the original fireball.

At this time, the necromancer lurking in the dark also realized that the bat wanted to attack him.

The ghost stopped in place and tried to attack the bats that were scattering around, but it could only kill one or two bats at most, and the rest had already flown away.

The bat flew in one direction, and the darkness had no effect on the bat. Not flying far, a bat discovered the location of the Necromancer under rapid flight.

In an instant, as if they had received some instructions, the bats all gathered towards the Necromancer's position, preparing to attack him.

The ghost wanted to return to the Necromancer to help him deal with the bats in the sky, but was blocked by a sword blade.

When the vampire found the Necromancer's location, Rhodes originally wanted to go up and help, but in the end he decided to stay here and deal with the ghost in front of him, leaving the vampire to fight the Necromancer alone.

Rhodes remembered that this necromancer had cast fire spells many times. If nothing else happened, he should be a necromancer specializing in fire magic.

Low-level fire magic lacks range skills such as the Ice Ring. The only range skill that can be considered a range skill is the Fire Wall.

As a high-level mage in his previous life, Rhodes obviously knew a lot about the basic spells of each department.

Therefore, after judging that the necromancer majored in fire magic, Rhodes directly asked the vampire to deal with him. Lacking the means to deal with bats, necromancers have difficulty handling these bats.

Just as the bats came to the necromancer, many ghosts rushed over and blocked the bats.

Previously, the necromancer received a message from the ghosts and discovered other enemies, so he transferred many ghosts back to him. Anyway, the way to attack in the field was blocked by the fire wall, and these ghosts could not attack beyond the fire wall for a while. The Skeleton Warrior won't affect anything.

In the center of the battlefield, in addition to a large number of walking corpses, there are still some ghosts left. They are ready to wait until the wall of fire disappears and then immediately attack the skeleton warriors.

Although the Necromancer made many ghosts retreat, he did not withdraw all ghosts on the battlefield.

For a time, many ghosts came to the front of the necromancer and blocked these bats with their bodies.

Since ghosts have no flesh and blood, bats cannot achieve much effectiveness in the face of these ghosts. Instead, they are quickly killed by these ghosts.

The bats flew into the air, trying to get past the ghosts and attack the necromancer behind them. However, in order to avoid the bats in the sky, the necromancer let the ghosts surround him and kept changing positions.

For a while, the bats could only be blocked by these ghosts.

On the side, Rhodes also started fighting with the ghost.

As early as when the vampire began to transform into a bat, Rhodes did not care about exposing his position. In order to see the surrounding situation clearly, he lit the torch in his hand.

At this time, the torch was thrown aside by Rhodes. Although it could not illuminate all the surrounding situations, it also provided Rhodes with a vision to deal with the enemy.

It was only when he was fighting the ghost that Rhodes felt the power of the ghost in front of him.

Although they are all ghosts, there are also differences in strength between ghosts. Some ghosts have just been upgraded from ghosts and have just entered the third level, while some ghosts are not much different from the fourth level. The ghost that Rhodes is facing is the latter.

Rhodes realized that the necromancer chose to keep the most powerful ghost by his side to protect him in order to deal with the enemy's surprise attack.

No matter how Rhodes swung his sword, he was blocked by Yinhun one by one. Although Rhodes could dodge Yinhun's attack to the side, he could not gain any advantage for a while.

Rhodes knew that this was not a difference in moves, but a difference in basic attributes. Since Rhodes invested a lot of attribute points in knowledge, facing the ghosts at this time, melee attacks seemed a little weak.

The ghost once again repelled Rhodes' attack. Just when the ghost was about to attack Rhodes, Rhodes raised his hand, and a spell condensed in Rhodes' hand.

There was only one creature around, Shadow, and Rhodes chose the ice arrow that could cause the most damage.

The ice arrows were shot at Yinhun rapidly. Because the distance was too close, Yinhun could not dodge and only had time to block the ice arrows with his hand bones.

The ice arrow hit Yin Hun's hand bones, and then exploded, Yin Hun's hand bones broke instantly. At the same time, Yinhun's entire body was covered with a layer of frost.

Yin Hun shuddered backwards, and Rhodes immediately stepped forward and slashed with his sword, but was blocked by Yin Hun's other hand.

At this time, due to losing an arm, Yinhun did not choose to continue attacking in the face of Rhodes' attack, but concentrated on defense. The purpose was just to hold Rhodes back and prevent Rhodes from approaching the necromancer behind.

During the battle with Yin Hun, Rhodes could see from the firelight coming from the side that Yin Hun's body was flashing with blue light all the time. Rhodes knew that procrastinating for a long time would only be detrimental to him.

Rhodes found the right moment and took advantage of the opportunity for the ghost to resist his attack, and released another ice arrow.

The ice arrow directly hit the body of the ghost. Taking advantage of the moment when Yin Hun lost his guard, Rhodes quickly stepped forward and struck hard with the impact of the spell, directly decapitating Yin Hun.

Perhaps it would be difficult for Rhodes to kill the ghosts through close combat alone, but under the influence of spells, the ghosts were no match for Rhodes.

After killing the ghost, Rhodes looked in the direction of the vampire.

Under the attack of the surrounding ghosts, the bats were greatly reduced. In comparison, the ghosts did not lose a few.

After the number of lost bats reaches a certain amount, the bats quickly leave these ghosts and gather at a not far away location.

The Necromancer also discovered this and raised his hand, ready to cast a spell.

Under the attack of the bat, the necromancer was also slightly injured at this time, but the injury was not serious. As soon as the bat came to his side, he was immediately killed by the ghost.

As soon as the vampire's figure appeared, he saw a fireball flying towards him. The vampire had no choice but to transform into a bat again.

As a burst of black mist emerged, the fireball passed through the black mist and hit the ground not far away, blasting a small crater on the ground and sending sparks flying.

The bat rushed out of the black mist again, but this time, the vampire got Rhode's signal. The bat's target was not the necromancer in front of him.

As soon as the bats emerged from the black mist, they flew rapidly to high altitudes. All the bats were like this, and none of them stayed in place.

Before the necromancer realized what was happening, he only saw Rhodes charging toward him with his sword in hand.
