Chapter 202: The Might of the Ghost Dragon II
Although the sixth-order creatures are powerful, they also have limitations, and just one bone dragon accounts for almost half of Rhodes' total spiritual attributes.
Nether energy gives the ghost dragon a crushing power over all low-level creatures, and in this case, low-level spells can't even do much damage to the ghost dragon.
In the course of the previous battle, Rhodes found that most of the spells cast by court mages were a combination of some low-level magic, except for a few high-level magic with special effects, court mages did not directly cast attack spells above the fourth order.
Rod knew that this was also an option for mages. After the rank is raised, there are also more choices of spells for the mage, whether it is to use a high-level spell that consumes more mana but has a higher damage bonus, or a low-level spell that consumes almost no cost many times, which is the personal preference of the master.
Through his observations during the battle, Rhodes judged that the court mage clearly belonged to the latter.
With a series of spell bonuses, the cost of low-tier spells becomes extremely low, and mages can be cast multiple times and are extremely flexible.
If it is against an ordinary opponent, there will be no problem with this way of fighting, but at this time, if the court mage wants to attack Rhodes in front of him, he must deal with the ghost dragon on the side.
Under the influence of the netherworld energy on the ghost dragon's body, no low-level spell could cause damage to it, which made the court mage's heart appear for the first time because of the frustration of being unable to defeat the enemy.
At this time, as if thinking of something, the court mage sighed.
The court mage knew that the strength displayed by Rhodes had exceeded the range of his estimates, and in this situation, it was obviously extremely difficult to deal with Rhodes with his own strength alone.
Up to now, the court mage had no choice but to give up the enemy in front of him first, inform the higher-ups of Erry's existence of Rhodes and the ghost dragon, and then discuss. According to the speed of Eri's high-level and the current level of struggle between factions within the Elven Royal Court, perhaps when Rhodes returns to Diya, there will be no result.
Therefore, the court mage knew in his heart that he might not be able to kill Rhodes in front of him, and according to Rhodes' growth rate, once Rhodes grew up, there would only be a bloody storm waiting for the surrounding area.
Although he was unwilling, the court mage was still able to see the current situation on the field clearly, and knew that he could only give up the idea of killing Rod, but the court mage did not care too much about his own safety. In his opinion, with the existence of the space-time gate, Rhodes obviously could not leave himself.
After discovering that he was defeated, the court mage did not immediately use the space-time gate to evacuate, but just like that. In the court mage's gaze, Rhodes also looked in his direction.
But what the court mage didn't know was that all Rhodes had on his mind was how to leave it behind.
Rhodes understands that under the current situation, whether he can keep the court mage depends on the performance of the ghost dragon beside him.
After looking at each other for a while, the court mage finally made a decision, completely remembering Rod's appearance, at this time, the court mage did not say anything to Roddo, but immediately cast a spell, preparing to open a door of time and space beside him.
The dark green gate of time and space appeared with the actions of the court mage, and the court mage only needed to enter it, and the court mage could return to the elven main city of Eeri.
At the moment when the court mage had just made a move, the ghost dragon beside Rhodes also moved, and the ghost dragon did not move towards the position of the court mage, but directly in the direction of the court mage, spewing out a large mouthful of dragon breath composed of netherworlds.
In an instant, with the movement of the ghost dragon, the dragon's breath directly swept over the position where the original court mage was, and the court mage did not react immediately because he was opening the door of time and space with all his might.
In previous battles, the court mage learned that almost all of the undead creatures controlled by Rhodes were good at melee abilities, and were not good at long-range combat.
And this also made the court mage relax his defense against long-range attacks, and did not even use teleportation to open the distance, but directly opened the door of time and space in the same place.
Due to the need for mages to guide when opening the gate of time and space, the court mage was directly hit by the ghost dragon's nether dragon breath.
The moment he was hit by the Nether Dragon's Breath, the court mage was completely affected by the Dragon's Breath, and his body began to fester.
Compared to the dragon breath emitted by a normal dragon, the dragon breath of the ghost dragon is not the same, except that the means of spraying are roughly the same, the essence of the ghost dragon's dragon breath is actually the netherworld energy that envelops it.
As long as they are not undead creatures, they will be affected by nether energy. For a normal creature, netherworld energy can directly corrode his body, and even if he can withstand this corrosion, his body will irreversibly age.
At this point, the effect of Nether's Breath is similar to that of the Cloud of Death, but unlike the Cloud of Death, Nether's Breath can easily destroy most low-level undead creatures, and only high-level undead creatures can withstand Nether Dragon's Breath.
At this time, the court mage who was hit head-on by the Nether Dragon's Breath was obviously in extremely poor condition, with many festering marks all over his body, and many wrinkles appeared on his already old face, and his hair was all gray.
In the current situation, the court mage was planning to ignore the injuries on his body and forcibly enter the inside of the space-time gate. But the moment he did so, the court mage keenly sensed the attack of the centaur leader in front of him.
It turned out that just as the court mage stopped in place, looking in Rhodes' direction and thinking about countermeasures, the centaur leader had already approached the position of the court mage, but there was no change. It wasn't until the ghost dragon's Nether Dragon's breath hit the court mage that the centaur leader began to choose to strike.
At this time, the centaur leader was firmly in front of the gate of time and space, and waved the weapon in his hand to attack the court mage in front of him.
Although he was also under the shadow of Nether's Dragon's Breath, the Centaur Leader didn't seem to be affected much, as if the Nether's Dragon's Breath around him didn't exist.
Facing the centaur leader in front of him, coupled with the corrosion of his body due to the Nether Dragon's Breath, the court mage did not dare to stay here for a long time, but immediately used teleportation and appeared next to him.
After standing still, the court mage's expression was completely solemn.
At this time, the court mage finally realized that if he continued like this, maybe he would die at the hands of Rod.
