Rhodes stood still, looking behind him, where the vampire was battling the Shade.

The vampire attacked, but the Shade quickly floated low and dodged, and the attacks that couldn't be dodged were blocked with bony arms.

The upper body of the Yin Soul resembles that of a skeleton soldier, both of which are made of human bones, but there is nothing underneath them, and behind the hem of the robe is an empty piece, and the lower part of the entire body has no actual form. Because of this, the Wraith has the ability to fly, but it can only float at a low altitude above the ground, and cannot fly at high altitudes.

The Yin is an advanced level of the second-order creature Ghost. In addition to surpassing the pre-advanced basic creatures in terms of basic attributes, the advanced creatures will also master some special skills.

Whether it's a vampire or a shade, when they fight at full strength, they are not affected by the dim light around them.

The Shade did not attack Rhodes except after attacking Rhodes at the beginning. In the face of vampire attacks, the Yin is more of a dodge.

The vampire poked out with a claw, and the ghost flew backwards directly backwards for a distance, dodging the vampire's attack. The vampire pounced on the ghost again, trying to grab the ghost's body in close quarters, but the ghost directly raised his hand and knocked the vampire's arm aside.

Due to the small difference in speed stats, vampire's attacks cannot achieve much effect in a short period of time. It is also a third-order creature, even if the overall strength of the vampire is stronger than that of the Yin Spirit, there is no way to kill it quickly.

Even if the Yin does not dodge the vampire's attack and is hit by the vampire, the hit area immediately turns dark, and then it acts as if nothing happened, and it can take this opportunity to fight back against the vampire.

In the previous battle with the Blue Runner Mage, the vampire's claws broke several times, and even though the injuries on the body could be recovered, the claws used as an offensive weapon could not be recovered in a short time, so they had to wait for time to pass and allow it to recover on its own.

Although it surpassed the Yin Soul in terms of overall basic attributes, due to the loss of the claws that it relied on to fight, the vampire's strength decreased a lot compared to before.

In the battle with the Shade, the vampires attacked one after another, but did not achieve any effect. The vampire was a little impatient, trying to choose the way to turn into a bat, so that the bat would pounce directly on the ghost. Since the Yin Soul has no area attack skills, the damage it can deal is basically based on the swinging of the arm, and it is difficult to deal with the bats generated by the Vampire Bat.

However, just when the vampire wanted to bat transformation, Rhodes stopped the vampire and asked the vampire to keep the number of batatization, and did not let the vampire immediately use the bat.

Rod observed the posture of the Yin Spirit, the Yin did not think about fighting the vampires, even if the vampires were now using bats, the Yin Spirits would not need to deal with these bats, they would only need to quickly flee around.

In the previous battle, although Rhodes took out the blade from the spatial ring, he did not help the vampires attack the Yin Spirits together, but kept on guard.

Shaded by black clouds, the surrounding light was so dim that it was almost impossible for Rhodes to see the surrounding scenery. These black clouds in the sky limited Rhodes' perception, which could cover a large range of perception, but now it can only cover the vicinity of this hotel.

Even so, because Rhodes has spiritualism and is extremely sensitive to death energy, he is still aware of the fact that there are many undead creatures around.

These undead creatures slowly gathered around while the vampires and the ghosts were fighting, but instead of attacking, they surrounded Rhodes and the vampires as if waiting for the right moment.

Not knowing the location of the manipulators behind these undead creatures, Rhodes also did not move, focusing only on finding the necromancers who might be lurking around.

At this time, in Rod's perception, the number of undead creatures around him was increasing. As if knowing that the undead creatures around it were ready, the Yin let out a scream after dodging one of the vampires' attacks.

Suddenly, these undead creatures that Rod sensed moved, and at the same time rushed towards Rhodes' side.

With a swing of his sword, Rhodes slashed at the nearest undead creature and pushed it back. Due to the proximity of the undead creatures, through the little light around him, Rhodes could see the appearance of these enemies clearly.

Most of these surrounding enemies are dressed like Yin Spirits, but they don't have the strong momentum of Yin Spirits, and they should be second-order undead creatures, ghosts. In addition, there are some ordinary walking corpses, and there are no third-order creatures like the previous Yin Spirits.

Seeing that all the surrounding enemies were surrounded, and the trace of the necromancer was still undetected, Rhodes stopped leaving his hands.

Through the spirit imprint, Rhodes gave an order to the vampire, and then raised his hand, and an ice ring centered on Rhodes spread rapidly towards the surroundings, and all the undead creatures around were injured by the ice ring, and due to the impact of the ice ring, these undead creatures were repulsed.

The vampire on the side, after receiving the order from the spirit imprint, saw Rhodes release the ice ring, so he chose to turn into a bat, and his entire body turned into a black mist.

At the moment when the vampire bat was completed, an ice ring slammed through, and the vampire had just entered the state of batatization, and the bat had not yet appeared, so it was not affected by this spell, and the ice ring passed directly through the black mist formed by the vampire bat. The Yin Spirits in the rear were unguarded and were hit by the Ice Ring.

Since the vampire was fighting the Yin at a distance from Rhodes, the ice ring, although it hit the Yin Spirit, only allowed it to be impacted and did not cause much damage to it.

In the black mist, the bat pounced on the Yin Spirit, and the Yin Soul quickly adjusted its body that was hit by the ice ring, and dodged directly to the side, not giving the bat a chance to get close to him.

At this time, the undead creatures around Rhodes were almost completely damaged by this Ice Ring because they were too close, and although a single Ice Ring could not kill them, it also caused a lot of damage to them.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Ice Demon Ring had just been released and the surrounding undead creatures were unstable by the impact, Rhodes rushed forward with his sword and began to quickly attack these undead creatures.

Rhodes didn't choose to cast the magic again, in order to save mana in case of a special situation. According to Rod's idea, if he wanted to kill these undead creatures around him with the Ice Ring alone, he would have to release them at least three or four times. Rhodes was clearly unwilling to just spend his mana on killing ordinary undead creatures.

The nearest ghost beside Rhodes was thrown back by the impact of the Ice Ring. Because of its ability to float, although there was some damage on its body, the ghost instantly adjusted his state, and just wanted to find the enemy in front of him, but he only saw a sword blade slashing towards him.

The ghost dodged and tried to dodge the attack by falling backwards. However, due to the previous impact, the ghost was unable to act immediately, and the blade caught up with the ghost trying to dodge, accurately severing its exposed cervical vertebrae.

In an instant, the ghost's entire body lost its strength and could no longer float, falling from the air to the ground. All that remained on the ground was the robe of cloth, and the dry bones in which it was wrapped.

After killing the ghost, Rhodes didn't stop, and immediately turned to the next undead creature closest to the side and swung his sword at it.

The undead creature that Rhodes is about to attack is just an ordinary walking corpse. Even if the walking corpse was intact, Rhodes didn't need much effort to kill it, not to mention that the walking corpse was hit with a spell.

Rhodes decapitated the walking corpse with a single sword, and then locked on to the next target again.

At this time, the impact effect of the Ice Demon Ring had subsided, and the surrounding undead creatures recovered and began to rush towards Rhodes.

Rhodes was not afraid at all, and without waiting for the surrounding undead creatures to rush to his side, Rhodes took the lead in rushing towards the nearest undead creatures to him.

As the battle progressed, Rhodes found that the dim light around him did not have any effect on his swordsmanship. Even if the surrounding ghosts wanted to take advantage of the dark environment to sneak attack, Rhodes was able to react in time, but instead took the opportunity of their surprise attack and hit them hard with a single sword.

After being promoted to the expert level, Rhodes's swordsmanship has not been improved, but the improvement of basic attributes has made the already good swordsmanship more powerful.

When the basic attribute is not high, Rod's expert-level swordsmanship can help him deal with enemies with strong attributes, and when Rod's basic attribute is no longer a weakness, the true strength of expert-level swordsmanship can be displayed, and Rhodes does not need to think about how to make a sword, he only needs to follow his instincts, and he can easily deal with these undead creatures in front of him.

Low-level special skills can only cope with a crisis for a period of time, and if they are not improved, they will inevitably be of little use because of the increase in overall strength. And no matter what kind of special skills you have, as long as you reach the expert level, you will have this unique use, and you will not be eliminated with the increase of strength. A large part of the strength of high-level professionals is determined by the number of expert-level special skills.

Rhodes quickly cleaned up the surrounding undead creatures, and when there were only a few undead creatures left, the vampires also joined in and helped Rhodes kill the surrounding undead creatures.

Rhodes fights with the vampires, and these low-level undead creatures have no room for resistance, so they can only be cleaned up one by one.

It didn't take long for the surrounding undead creatures to be cleaned up, leaving only the wreckage all over the ground.

When all the undead creatures around him were destroyed, Rhodes began to interrogate the vampires.

Rhodes remembered that at the beginning, the vampires were fighting the Shade, and according to Rod's estimate, even if the Shade fought the vampires with all their might, it would be impossible for the two of them to distinguish between the winners and losers in a short period of time.

Rhodes remembered that the nature of a creature like a ghost was that it could regenerate health on its own over time, and that this trait was extremely effective against creatures with inferior attributes. However, this trait is of little use against Rhodes, who is far superior to them and can kill them with a single hit, and Rhodes can directly kill the Ghost.

As a ghost's advanced Yin Spirit, this ability to recover from injuries has been further strengthened, and although it is impossible to restore broken limbs, it is extremely difficult to recover damage from Yin Spirits except for damaged body parts.

Through the information from the vampire in the spirit imprint, Rhodes learns that instead of fighting the vampire, the Yin Spirit retreats directly into the darkness. And the vampire also seemed to feel something, and instead of chasing the retreating ghosts, he chose to return to Rod's side and deal with the undead creatures around him with Rod.

In the course of the battle, Rhodes deliberately saved mana in order to deal with the necromancers that might be lurking around him. According to Rod's thoughts, if the necromancers around him didn't make a move on him, then he would probably choose to attack the vampire and not let himself kill the undead creatures he controlled.

Rod's goal was to wait until he was exposed, and then find a way to kill him, if he had been hiding in the dark, it would be difficult for Rhodes to find him.

What Rod didn't expect was that even if all these undead creatures died, the hidden necromancer did not appear.

Rhodes recalls the first time he encountered the Shade, meditating inside the inn, only to be attacked by the Shade when he came out on the street. After the vampires and the undercasts had fought for a while, the rest of the undead creatures gathered here.

Rhodes realizes that these undead creatures should have nothing to do with the mayor. It is extremely easy for the mayor to find out his movements in the town, if the mayor is planning to sneak up on him at night, the moment he walks out of the hotel, the surrounding area will be surrounded by the mayor's undead creatures, instead of waiting until he finds himself, the surrounding undead creatures will start to gather.

Looking at the remains of these undead creatures on the ground, Rhodes was a little unsure of his previous judgment.

Among these undead creatures killed before, the number of walking corpses was not very large, but more second-order ghosts, killing this group of undead creatures, Rod got a total of 440 experience points.

Although the combat effectiveness of this group of undead creatures is not very good, the experience provided has not been reduced in any way. At the same time, it also shows that Rod's strength has improved to a certain extent, and it may still be difficult to defeat third-order creatures head-on, but it is absolutely no problem to deal with ordinary second-order creatures.

Seeing that the experience points had reached the level of leveling, Rhodes opened the attributes panel.

"Consume 600 XP and have 130 XP remaining. Raise your class level to Tier 2 Swordsman Rank 7......"

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

Thinking of the next battle, Rhodes did not allocate these points obtained through upgrades, but waited until the critical moment to use them.

Leading the vampire, Rhodes chooses to go to the mayor's mansion again to find out.
