Chapter 120: The Pursuit II

According to the general direction he had previously written, Rhodes rode the centaur undead all the way.

Rhodes, who was riding a centaur, didn't know what was happening in the rear, but as early as when the elven lieutenant used the pendant on his body, Rhodes felt a chill, as if he was being targeted by something.

At this time, the centaur was in the middle of the woodland, surrounded by dense trees. This environment has affected the centaurs under Rhodes to a certain extent, and because they are walking through the dense forest, the centaur undead cannot increase their speed.

Behind, a bat flew at a rapid pace, and after reducing its speed to the same speed as the centaur, the bat landed accurately on Rod's shoulder.

Since the centaurs were never able to increase their speed, even the vampires who had finally evacuated the village had already rushed to Rhodes' side.

Rhodes realized that the court mage could not let himself go so easily after seeing the corpses of the dwarves and elves in the village. This feeling of being targeted is likely to be the means used by the court mage to determine his position at this time.

Although he realized this, Rhodes didn't have a good way to deal with it for a while, and could only let the centaur undead under him increase his speed to the extreme.

Rhodes knew that according to his current strength, he was still no match for the court mage.

At this point, Rhodes opened the stats panel and found that his experience points had reached 5640 points.

While inspecting the properties panel, Rod looked at the system logs.

Of these current experience points, only about 3,000 were earned by themselves in the process of destroying dwarven villages, more than 1,000 experience points were obtained through centaur bosses, and the rest were left over from the last upgrade.

At this point, Rhodes immediately raises the character level.

"Consume 4000 XP and have 1640 XP remaining. Class level increased to Tier 3 Soul Summoner Tier 5......"

"Get 1 free attribute point, get 1 skill point......"

"One level ...... away," Rod realized.

All it takes is one more level to raise the spiritualism to its strongest state. Rhodes knew that even if he didn't do anything, he would just wait a few days to gain enough experience points through the battle of the centaur leader.

Due to the possible presence of pursuers in the rear, after raising the character level, Rhodes quickly ran towards the place where he had received the mission. If the court mage really chases after him, only by fleeing in that direction will he have a chance of survival.

Rhodes knew that a location similar to the one he had taken up the mission in the previous one was likely to have high-level necromancers stationed there, waiting for the war to expand further. And his identity as an academy at this level can allow him to be protected by a high-level necromancer.

In terms of internal relationships, necromancers can be extremely cruel to their subordinates, even if they kill apprentices on the battlefield at will, they will not be punished in any way.

Once other forces intervene, the relationship between necromancers will immediately be different, even if Eric's high-ranking mages want to come to the location where they take the mission and forcibly take any of their apprentices, they will be met with unanimous resistance from the rest of the necromancers.

Rhodes knew that because of his identity as an academy, even if a court mage came to the camp to receive the mission, he would be blocked by the high-level mages stationed here, which was the greatest convenience that the academy identity could bring.

The identity of the academy allows Rhodes to not be killed by Eli's powerful creatures in the camp where the academy is located, but the academy completely ignores and even encourages the fight between necromancers.

Sensing the peeping sensation coming from behind, Rhodes turned his head and glanced in the direction where the sensation was coming from, but all he could see was darkness. But the feeling of being stuck-on in my heart was clearly telling Rhodes that the enemy was chasing after him.

As Rhodes progressed, that perception grew closer. Rod could even hear the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind him, and if it weren't for the darkness around him, Rhodes would have been able to see the enemy.

Rhodes confirmed that the enemy had somehow locked on to his position and was chasing him.

With some distance from the camp where the academy had issued the mission, Rhodes couldn't shake off the enemies behind him with his speed alone. In order to get rid of the enemies behind him, Rhodes took out a treasure from the spatial ring, which was the same dark shelter that he had used before.

The black cloud gathered overhead from where Rhodes was and began to slowly spread around. As the black cloud had just appeared, the centaur driven by Rhodes galloped out of the range where the black cloud was.

At night, it was clear that using Dark Shelter would be more effective, so without knowing what method the court mage was using to lock himself in, Rhodes had no choice but to try to get rid of the team behind him.

It would take some time before the Dark Asylum was fully effective, so instead of rushing directly in the direction of the camp, Rhodes was at the edge of the black cloud, moving sideways with the spread of the black cloud.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves from behind also moved in the direction of Rhodes. Realizing this, Rhodes did not panic, but still maintained his direction of movement, waiting for the black clouds to spread.

The pursuers in the rear apparently noticed the anomaly as well, but their speed did not decrease, instead allowing the horses under them to sprint at full speed in the direction of Rhodes.

Because Rhodes was surrounded by black clouds, under the acceleration of the pursuers, he had already seen Rhodes in front of him at this time.

After noticing that the undead creatures under Rhodes were the centaurs in the territory of Eli, these elves who were chasing from the rear were obviously furious, and for a while, the hatred of the necromancer made the morale of these elves extremely strong.

With the only remaining light around him, Rhodes also saw the pursuing creatures of Eri. Rhodes noticed that one of the creatures at the head was not dressed as a mage.

At this time, several arrows shot at Rhodes at a rapid pace, and Rhodes immediately took out an iron shield from the spatial ring to resist.

In the midst of the rush, the arrow slammed into Rod's shield and fell to the ground, causing little damage to Rod.

Even so, the elves chasing behind still did not stop this move, and it seemed that only in this way could the anger in the hearts of these elves be vented.

Even though this did not achieve much success, the elven lieutenant did not stop his elves, but allowed them to fire their own arrows and attack the necromancer in front of them.

As a result of this, Rhodes took the spirits around him around him and surrounded the black clouds. Due to the movement of the elf's hand, the speed of the pursuit was affected, and it did not catch up with Rhodes.

It didn't take long for these elves to realize that although there were still many arrows left in the quiver behind them, it was difficult to see the necromancer in front of them.
