NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23
Chapter 23-Vampire
Seeing the vampire continue to rush towards him, Rod hurriedly controlled the undead creature beside him and moved closer to the vampire.
The vampire rushed to Rhode’s side, and Rhode raised his sword with a backhand and collided with the vampire’s claws.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the vampire to attack him, Rhode commanded the undead creature beside him. On the side, the closest corpse wolf jumped up under Rod’s control, preparing to bite the vampire not far away.
The vampire’s figure flashed, and his claws swiftly passed through the air, and the original broken body of the corpse wolf was broken into two sections. The blood spilled on the vampire’s face, instead of slowing its progress, it seemed to give it a stimulus and make it more excited.
The rest of the undead creatures around have also arrived and began to surround the vampire.
In the tomb before, Rhode had always seen the state of the vampire bat transformed, and he did not have an intuitive understanding of its own strength. At this time, with the help of the bright light outside the tomb, Rod finally saw the appearance of the vampire.
The shape of a vampire is no different from an ordinary person. The original long robe costume became tattered under the erosion of the years and the flames, and it was difficult to cover its body.
On its body, there are traces of burns, especially on the feet, and there is almost no good place. But because of its powerful physique, even if it is hurt, it will not affect its mobility.
The hands and face of the vampire are the places that Rhode focuses on. The blood-stained claws of the vampire and the teeth protruding out of the mouth are undoubtedly its strongest weapons.
During a brief observation, Rhode distinguished the type of vampire in front of him from the characteristics of it.
There are two types of vampires, one is traditional vampires, hidden in human cities everywhere. Even if they are only Tier 2, they also have a human appearance, and their behavior is no different from ordinary people. They like to suck human blood, which can be used to upgrade their ranks.
Taking advantage of the same appearance as humans, they will secretly establish power in human city-states, but generally they cannot hide the thieves’ chambers of commerce in the city. After being discovered, they are often expelled and even tried as heretics.
Another type of vampire is similar to the vampire in front of Rhodes. Although the size is no different from that of human beings, it has sharp claws like a knife, which is convenient for directly biting and devouring prey teeth, which is generally very easy to distinguish.
It is also fond of human blood. This kind of vampire won’t get it secretly like the previous one, but directly kills people as prey, and then devours flesh and blood.
For this reason, this kind of vampire was chased by all creatures, and finally could only escape back to the place of their origin. Rod knew that this position was in Dia, and this kind of vampire had a close connection with the Necromancer.
It is said that these two vampires share a common ancestor, but there are also wars within these two vampires.
At the moment Rhodes observed, the vampire fought with the undead creatures around him.
A walking corpse grabbed the vampire, and the vampire protruded its backhand. The arm brought out an indistinguishable shadow at high speed. Before the attack of the walking corpse arrived, it first pinched the neck of the walking corpse. The claw pierced deeply into the flesh, and then pulled to the back, grabbing a large piece of flesh and blood.
Half of the neck of the walking corpse disappeared instantly. The huge amount of damage directly extinguished the fire of the walking corpse’s soul and fell to the ground.
The vampire didn’t stop after killing the walking corpse, and continued to catch the corpse wolf underground. The corpse wolf couldn’t dodge, and a bloody mouth appeared in the front. The vampire pierced the corpse wolf’s neck with another claw, and then a large piece of flesh flew up.
At this time, the surrounding undead creatures gathered around and attacked the vampire one after another. Even if a vampire can easily kill undead creatures, it will be temporarily trapped in the middle. Rod also took advantage of the vampire’s attack, stabbing a sword at its side.
The vampire seemed to have anticipated this situation, and before the undead creatures attacked the vampire, a large cloud of black mist broke out among the undead creatures.
Large swarms of bats gush out from the black fog, and directly pounce on the nearest walking corpse and corpse wolf. Because the distance is too close, nearby undead creatures can’t dodge at all. The bat began to bite frantically at the body of the undead creature.
When Rod had just taken out the sword, he noticed something was wrong. Before Rhode could control the undead creatures to retreat, the vampire turned into a bat and pounced on the surrounding undead creatures. In addition, quite a few bats are rushing towards Rhodes.
Rod stabbed out with a sword. The bat just wanted to avoid it, but Rod’s blade seemed to lock the bat in the air. No matter which angle it flew at, Rod could adjust the sword in his hand to make the tip of the sword always face the bat in front of him.
The bat was pierced by a sword, directly turned into a black mist and dissipated.
To deal with flying creatures like bats, Rhodes chose the stabbing method. The sword in Rod’s hand was pierced one after another, and the blade in Rod’s hand turned into a sword flower, and black mist burst out in the air one after another.
Even though the bat has demonstrated a powerful evasion ability in advance, it can rely on flying to dodge the weapon that swings at it, but facing Rhodes who has expert swordsmanship, the bat seems to have lost this ability and can only be taken by Rhode. Pierced one by one and turned into black mist.
He quickly cleared away the bats that were flying towards him frontally. Without any pause, Rod felt the spiritual imprints weakened. He immediately went to support the fallen undead creatures and stabbed the bats hanging on them with a sword.
Just when Rod had just picked some bats, the remaining bats retreated directly, ignoring the remaining undead creatures.
Looking at the blood-stained undead creature beside him, Rod knew that the undead creature had suffered a heavy loss this time.
Unlike Rhodes, the undead creatures themselves cannot deal with bats, relying on Rhode’s support.
The bat uses its claws to embed the corpse, and hangs on the corpse like this, and bites the corpse with its teeth. Without Rod’s help, it is difficult for the corpse to pull the bat from its body by its own strength. Tugging, the result can only be a large piece of flesh and blood carried by the bat’s claws.
Many of the walking corpse fingers are missing a few fingers. The reason is that in the process of tearing off the bat, the bat directly bites at the hand they are pulling. Almost all the walking corpses are dripping with blood on their hands.
The situation of the corpse wolf is even worse. The body is low. After being hung on the body by the bat, it can only rely on the method of rolling on the ground to let the bat loose its claws. However, bats seem to have special barbs on their claws, and once they are hung on their prey, they can hardly be pulled apart.
The only thing that is still intact, there should be only the undead creature, the corpse wolf king. The corpse wolf king, who was transformed into an undead creature, displayed its powerful physical qualities. In previous battles, Rod saw it jump up many times and bit the bat flying in the air.
Bats gathered not far away, and as the black mist surged, the vampire reappeared.
Looking at the figure of the vampire, Rod deeply understood that the surrounding undead creatures can only be used as a cover, used to slightly contain the powerful vampire, and the only one who really fights ahead is himself.
