At the same time, the battle in front of the catacombs had ended.
The conceited Ansadin was not prepared for death at all … He still had countless ambitions to achieve and countless messages to report to His Majesty Augustine. He firmly believed that the Tasman Kingdom would rise and prosper under his own efforts …
But all of this ended with the sword that cut through everything.
The disappearance of the Fire Puppets caused him to lose his last barrier, and Natha finally made her move after enduring for a long time. She interrupted his most crucial spell casting — the failure to cast the "Bone Shield Spell" directly determined the final outcome of the battle.
So Wellington approached him without any hindrance, raised his sword, and beheaded him on the spot.
But just as Ansadin's corpse fell to the ground, the "Death Knell Summoning" scroll in his cloth bag was automatically released … The fluctuation of the Death Spirit Aura instantly enveloped the surrounding ten meters, and a dark green smoke appeared on the corpse of the necromancer.
The smoke was initially just a sphere, but then a crack appeared in the middle. The moment the coquettish pupil appeared, Wellington and Sodelor had already slashed at it with their swords!
The two of them were not stupid enough to wait for this thing to slowly change. They knew that it was not a good thing even if they thought with their knees, so they tacitly chose to attack at the same time … But after their swords slashed through the smoke, they were not able to damage the eyeball at all. Instead, the pupil slowly raised and suddenly stared at Wellington in front of him.
Wellington's eyes narrowed, and instantly felt a little cold — this was an instinctive reaction to the murderous intent and hostility. He could feel that the thing behind the eye was staring at him.
Sodelor was stabbing at the eyeball with his sword, but it did not have any effect after a few consecutive stabs. Just as he was about to change his angle to continue, he found that his foot was grabbed by something. He looked down and saw a hand coming out of the soil was forcefully pulling along his ankle …
"Crack!" Wellington stepped on the skeleton that was crawling out from the side and smashed it into pieces. He looked up at the eyeball that he couldn't cut or touch and said in a low voice, "Retreat!"
This eyeball did not have any signs of gathering energy or casting spells, so after observing for a few seconds, Wellington immediately prepared to ask Akasha for help. Unexpectedly, there was a scream coming from behind the low wall …
"Ah —"
Originally, Akasha was trying hard to resist the discomfort brought by the 'Intermediate Mana Potion'. She had never experienced this kind of burning feeling before, but who knew that just when she lowered her head, she saw a small skeleton crawling out from the ground in front of her. It was wearing a child's clothes, and after its two empty eye sockets looked at Akasha, it opened its mouth and was about to pounce and bite her …
"Holy Light Punishment" sent the skeleton flying, and Akasha stumbled out from behind the low wall. If it were not for Wellington and Sodelor, she would have been surrounded by a large number of undead creatures.
"Attack that eye!"
Wellington warned Akasha loudly. The latter turned around and was also shocked by the huge eyeball. She immediately raised her hand to cast Divine Incantation, but the eyeball was still floating and was not harmed at all.
"If you can't win, then try to leave this place as soon as possible …"
There was no other way. They were not sure if this thing would suddenly explode. After a few attempts to no avail, the three of them immediately went to support Roddy. But at this time, more and more skeletons came up. Akasha glanced at the rotten corpses and said with an ugly expression, "What are these things? They look like... "
"It's the corpses that were once buried here. They are being resurrected as Skeleton Soldiers!"
Wellington had a certain understanding of the undead. With a glance, he could roughly guess what was going on. It was obvious that the underground tomb they were in was a graveyard before it was built. Otherwise, there would not be so many corpses that were "resurrected" into skeletons.
At this moment, the situation was dire. Skeletons were constantly pouncing over from all directions, wanting to attack. The two knights raised their shields and short swords and killed all the skeletons that came close to them. These skeletons that had just been resurrected were not as strong as they had imagined. They were as fragile as rotten wooden stakes.
"Get closer. Don't go too far. Watch your step." Wellington had the most combat experience. He immediately took on the role of the core commander. He lifted his leg and kicked away a skeleton that was trying to climb out. He lowered his center of gravity slightly and protected Akasha with Sodelor in the center. He then pointed to the back garden where Roddy was and said, "Get closer. Sodelor and I will cover. Akasha, use your magic to support Roddy!"
"Yes!"
"Un … understood."
Compared to Sodelor, Akasha's reaction was half a beat slower. But the three of them had a certain degree of cooperation. But when Wellington turned around to look for Natha, he found that she had already disappeared from the tree in the distance.
*****
Natha was standing at the edge of the back garden.
She raised her short bow, but because Magda moved too fast, she did not have the confidence to aim properly. The arrow was nocked on the bowstring, but it did not fire.
Cold sweat dripped from her forehead. Natha felt that her heart was beating extremely fast. She even felt that her fingers on the bowstring were a little stiff.
The reason for this was because the combat level of the undead in front of her had exceeded her understanding.
Speed!
Power!
Momentum!
These three points, she admitted that she was a hundred times better than Magda. She had witnessed Roddy's battle before. She thought that was the so-called "limit". Who would have thought that the strength that this "Dark Ranger" displayed was even able to suppress Roddy!
She had the strength to break a low wall with one kick, the ability to shoot so fast that her arms could leave afterimages, the calm pace, and the overwhelming reaction speed … Magda's strength gave Nata the illusion that she was "undefeatable".
Even at the moment when she aimed at Magda's back, the other's grey pupils actually turned to look at her, and then immediately turned back. It was an arrogant attitude that completely ignored her!
Natha understood the meaning in Magda's eyes: "Bring it on, I don't care about you!"
This kind of strong confidence made Natha hesitate to shoot.
But she was never one to be scared. The choice in front of her was very simple: if she did not make a move, then Roddy would most likely be killed.
If Roddy died, then all her efforts would be in vain.
So when Roddy turned around to face the attack and Magda stopped, Natha gritted her teeth and shot the arrow without hesitation!
The "Blighter" immediately sensed Natha's attack. He slightly tilted his body and dodged the arrow without even looking.
He then turned his body and raised his bow, actually aiming at Natha. This action was actually a trap, and the goal was to lure Roddy to attack him. And when he saw Roddy raise his bow, he was already prepared for it. At the same time he dodged Roddy's arrow, he turned the arrow that was originally aimed at Natha and shot it towards Roddy!
Is he finally going to stop and accept his death?
Magda's expression became even more ferocious. His arm instantly pulled out another arrow, and he continued to shoot as he stepped forward. Roddy did not retreat, and actually took a step forward … The distance between the two gradually shortened from 20 meters, and they were actually facing each other. This was the final battle of this desperate situation!
Skeletons continuously climbed up from the ground and rushed towards Roddy. Obviously, they had no intention of attacking Magda. Roddy who was alone was like a lone boat in a storm, but he still did not retreat even half a step in the face of dozens of skeletons and Magda's attacks!
Akasha and the others who were rushing over had no time to help. The three of them were too big of a target, and had already become the main target of the skeletons. At this time, more than 60% of the skeletons in the manor were rushing towards them …
And from afar, Natha's expression was tense. She wanted to continue shooting, but there were two skeletons rushing towards her. In order to dodge, she could only watch as the cornered Roddy turned around and counterattacked …
In her field of vision, the two figures facing each other almost simultaneously shot their arrows.
Drawing an arrow, nocking the bowstring, drawing the bow, shooting … Roddy's eyes were fixed on Magda in front of him, and his body did not have any intention of dodging. After releasing the bowstring, he directly reached for an arrow, and his body did not even move an inch!
There was a saying that went "When two enemies meet on a narrow path, the braver one wins". But in this situation, facing the undead was actually very disadvantageous. Because the undead were least afraid of arrows. Even if they were shot through the head, as long as the vital parts were not damaged, they would not die at all …
So this kind of face-to-face battle of archery was extremely disadvantageous to Roddy from the start!
But when the arrow was released, Magda suddenly frowned.
From the beginning to the end, he had always considered himself as a "strong person", and when facing a small character like Roddy, he completely held the mentality of crushing his opponent, and did not even think about the possibility of him getting injured.
So when Roddy shot the arrow from ten meters away, the Blighter's arrow was also aimed at Roddy's chest at the same time. The moment the arrow left the bowstring, Magda had already predicted that his body would tilt to the side, and he was prepared to use his extraordinary reflexes to dodge this attack.
But then he realized that Roddy did not even make any movement to dodge, and instead directly pulled out the next arrow and was ready to shoot!
This kind of strategy meant that Roddy's shooting speed was instantly faster than Magda's by half a second, and because of this half a second, Roddy's next arrow just happened to take advantage of the moment when Magda froze!
Magda could not understand why Roddy did this. Undead could not care less about being hit by arrows, but if a human was hit by an arrow, the result would be death. Even if it was a "life for a life" exchange, Roddy would not be able to afford it …
Why would he?
But when this thought popped up in her mind, the arrow that had already shot into Roddy's chest, immediately followed with a "ka" sound … and split open.
