Invincible Hero of Necromancer Chapter 9: Assassination
…………
"You try to enter a meditative state..."
"The level of concentration reaches the minimum level for entering meditation, and the perception is successfully contracted..."
"You have successfully entered a meditative state!"
"According to your level of concentration, you are currently in a light meditation state."
“…”
"Meditation is over."
"Based on your performance during the meditation session, your maximum mana has increased by 6. The current mana is 6/6."
"Special feedback is not available for shallow meditation."
"You have earned the racing achievement [Beginner]."
"[Beginner]: Successfully meditate once. The base bonus spirit is +2. The effect of meditation is increased by 10% when worn."
…………
After observing the system log, Rhode was overjoyed. In his previous life, Rhodes also obtained the achievement [Beginner], but he did not enjoy the extra rewards brought by racing.
"I remember that the beginner's achievement in the previous life seems to be only +1 spirit, and there is no additional reward after wearing it. Now not only the increased spirit is improved, but also the effect of meditation can be enhanced after wearing it." Rhode recalled for a while.
Comparing with the achievements in memory, Rhode once again realized how high the attributes will be provided by the achievements under the blessing of racing. At the same time, Rhodes also deeply understands how powerful he will become, who can obtain a lot of racing achievements, just with basic attributes.
Shaking his head, Rhode forced himself not to think about his achievements for a while, and focused his attention on the necromancer apprentices on the ground not far away. With the eagle eye technique, Rhode looked towards the enemy.
Walking at the forefront was a group of skeleton soldiers. Rhodes did not specify the exact number, but there should be more than a dozen. In the middle of the team is a black-robed man on a horse, shrouded in black robes, which is the standard dress for necromancers. This person should be the manipulator of this team of undead, the necromancer apprentice.
The apprentice is flanked by and behind four heavily armed skeleton warriors. At the rear of the team is a dense group of walking corpses. Since the walking corpses are the slowest, they can only limping behind. Rhodes estimated that the apprentice put the large group of walking corpses at the end of the team for this reason.
Rhode observed quietly on the tree. He was in a very hidden position. As long as the apprentice did not recognize that someone was on the tree and observed carefully, he would not have found himself.
When the apprentice group approached the tomb a little, Rhodes slowed down his breathing to reduce the possibility of any exposure.
…………
All the way back, Elliot was thinking about how to use all the gold coins he had when he returned to the Necromancer Academy.
First of all, I have to learn all the courses that I couldn't afford before, such as deep meditation, and then learn some powerful spells. After all these are completed, I will become a first-class necromancer. Whether to participate in various wars on the continent, or to become a great lord of a place, let yourself make a choice...
As Elliot got closer and closer to the tomb he discovered, he suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart. Elliot didn't understand the origin of this feeling, but only knew that this feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Before getting close to the tomb, Elliot was shocked and angry to find that his originally sealed exit had been opened again at this time. Elliot clearly remembered that he left after the undead creatures sealed the tomb exit.
Who... Elliot had this idea in his mind.
Elliott first suspected that someone had been here, but this tomb has not been discovered for so long, and it is unlikely that others will discover it by luck alone.
If no one else has been here, then the greatest possibility is that the sleeping undead creatures in the tomb have awakened. Elliott came to this conclusion.
Elliot felt it in his mind. The undead creatures that he had arranged to guard in the passage had all disappeared at this time, and they should have all been destroyed.
Having no time to feel sorry for these undead creatures under his command, Elliot pondered for a while, and told him rationally that he already had the gold coins he needed at this time. Return to the academy as soon as possible after earning gold coins.
But there was another voice in Elliot's heart, and he was unwilling to leave like this. There is a sleeping undead creature in the tomb. According to his thoughts, it is most likely that this undead creature has awakened, rather than the tomb being discovered by others.
The undead creature in the tomb has long been reserved by Elliot. Elote believed that with the help of this powerful undead creature, he would soon be able to stand out in the academy.
In the end, you still have to go to the depths of the tomb by yourself, and you will know when you see it. Thinking of this, Elliot got off his horse and began to dispatch the undead creatures.
Elliot first sent all the skeleton soldiers to guard around to prevent possible enemies, and then scattered the walking corpses to the outermost perimeter to observe. After arranging the skeleton soldiers and the walking dead, Elliot prepares to enter the passage.
Another bad feeling came, and Elliot was sure there was something in the passage.
Since he didn't know the specific situation in the passage, Elliot let the two skeleton warriors enter the passage first to see if there were any enemies lurking in the passage.
Skeleton warriors are low-level undead creatures and cannot convey specific information. After confirming that there was no abnormality in the passage, Elote prepared to enter the passage to check in person.
…………
From the tree, Rhodes watched the deployment of the undead mage apprentices to the undead creatures, and he couldn't help but secretly let out a good risk.
Before, Rhodes thought about lurking in the passage to assassinate him, but considering that there were too many variables in the passage, he gave up this idea. At this time, the necromancer's cautious approach confirmed this. Without this tree, Rhodes couldn't think of any other place to hide.
Rhodes saw that the necromancer apprentice sent two skeleton warriors down the tunnel. This is undoubtedly good news for Rhodes. What Rhode needs to consider is how to deal with the remaining undead creatures in addition to how to deal with the undead mage apprentice.
Once surrounded by this group of undead creatures, the characteristics of undead creatures that are not afraid of death will be brought into full play. With four skeleton warriors, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to escape.
Fortunately, the apprentice first sent two skeleton warriors to the tomb. Although the number of the remaining undead creatures is extremely large, as long as they are not surrounded, they can end with a little more time.
Rhodes watched the necromancer apprentice walking towards the passage. In order to increase the success rate of assassination ~IndoMTL.com~ Rhodes allocated the remaining free attribute points to the speed. The current speed attribute is 9.
Since the assassination is a jump from a height, the sharp blade combined with the impact of gravity can cause great damage. The assassination did not depend on Rhodes' own strength, but on Rhodes' hit rate.
Although it was almost impossible to miss, Rhode allocated the remaining attribute points to speed just in case. In addition to increasing the speed of shot and movement, the speed attribute can also improve one's reaction ability.
The necromancer apprentice came to the entrance of the passage, looked down first, then stretched out a foot, ready to step into the passage.
At this time, while the apprentice's attention was all focused on the passage, Rhode moved.
I saw Rhode jumping out of the tree trunk five or six meters above the ground, holding the sword in both hands, the sword body pointing downwards. The target pointed by the blade was the necromancer apprentice who had half footed into the tomb.
As if feeling something, the apprentice turned around and looked at Rhodes, his body instinctively trying to avoid this surprise attack that fell from the sky. But it was too late, Rhode's sword had arrived in a flash, and there was still a trace of confusion in the eyes of the necromancer apprentice.
Rhode's sword easily pierced the back of the necromancer apprentice, and stabbed diagonally from top to bottom from the top of the spine. Under the blessing of gravity, Rhode didn't even have to exert much effort. He only needed to hold the hilt of the sword with both hands, and the sword body completely disappeared from the back into the apprentice's body.
The blood spurted out with the piercing of the long sword, but immediately stopped due to the contraction of the muscles. The hot blood splashed on Rhodes face, which was different from fighting in previous games and killing cold undead in the tomb before. Rhodes could feel a kind of heat from his blood.
A kind of...the heat of life.
