  Chapter 162 Water Element III

Bats gather on shore after dodging Water Element attack . As a black mist surged past, the vampire's body reappeared.

When the vampire left the pool, the ice spikes on the water quickly melted and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

At this point, the water surface was completely calm, and only slight fluctuations were generated on the water surface. If it wasn't for the previous battle, it would even make people wonder if there were any creatures in the pool.

During vampire's attempt to attack the Water Element, Rhodes did not approach the shore, but watched.

Seeing this scene, Rhodes seems to realize something.

Rhodes knows that the fountain of spirits must be hidden somewhere under the pool. To get the fountain of spirits, you must first kill the Water Element guarding here.

Although there's only one Water Element here, it's obviously more tricky than Rhodes expected.

Under this kind of environment, the undead creatures under Rhodes can hardly cause any damage to the Water Element, but the spell of the Water Element can easily deal with these undead creatures around.

The most powerful undead creature Rhodes currently controls is the Bone Dragon, but in this environment, the Bone Dragon can't come here at all, and it won't help Rhodes in the battle.

Rhodes realized that to defeat the Water Element in front of him, he still needed to rely on his existing strength.

For Water Element, casting spell does not consume mana, and it only needs to wait for a little recovery before releasing spell again, so the conventional mage consumption tactics are completely meaningless to it.

Rhodes looked at the wounded centaurs around him and realized that he might have only one chance to defeat the Water Element.

Thinking of this, Rhodes quickly released death energy towards all around. As Rhodes' mana drops, the intense death energy instantly fills all the spaces inside.

The only entry and exit to the space is the Illusion Technique wall through which Rhodes passed. Under the action of this wall, all the energy of death is sealed in this space, and not a trace will escape.

The purpose of Rhodes' release of death energy is precisely for the rest of the undead creatures around to absorb it, so as to recover his injuries.

Because of being an elemental creature, the Water Element, who was hiding at the bottom of the pool at this time, immediately felt the strong death energy around him, and immediately felt a burst of anger in his heart.

No matter what kind of elemental creatures they are, they have an instinctive aversion to undead creatures. For them, the energy of death is fundamentally different from the energy that makes up their bodies.

At this time, feeling the accumulation of death energy, the Water Element did not continue to hide, but rose directly from the water surface, then waved its arms, moved towards the direction of Rhodes again, and erupted a large number of ice arrows.

In the face of the direct Frostbolt, Rhodes did not choose to let the surrounding undead creatures dodge, but let them rush directly towards the location of the Water Element.

Rhodes knew that by consumption alone, he couldn't compare to the Water Element, so he could only attack the Water Element first while the surrounding undead creatures still had good battle strength.

Under the circumstance that the Water Element occupies the terrain advantage, for Rhodes at this time, only in this way can there be a chance to kill the Water Element here, or wait until all the centaurs around the undead are around. After dying and losing the advantage in the number of undead creatures, Rhodes could only choose to leave.

The ice arrow slid through the bodies of these centaur undead, and many centaur undead fell into the charge of this time. But more centaur undead have already rushed to the pool.

Facing the surrounding undead creatures, the Water Element repeats its old trick and dives into the bottom of the water again. As soon as the surrounding undead creatures step into the pool, the Water Element will launch an attack.

During the previous battle, the vampire had fallen into the pool, and Rhodes also learned some information in the pool. Rhodes understood that the pool as a whole was not deep, compared to the centaur's tall body. Said, the pool can only be submerged to half of their bodies.

Water Element also understood Rhodes' intentions. As a burst of ice arrows just broke out, facing a large number of undead creatures, Water Element did not choose to attack for a while, but continued to lurk underwater. .

For a time, although the undead creature stepped into the pool, there was no trace of the Water Element at all.

Rhodes knew he had to do it quickly. Facing the Water Element hidden in the water, the perception of the undead creatures is greatly limited, and they can only search by luck. Only the centaur leader and the vampire seem to feel something and are looking in the same direction.

In an instant, under Rhodes' signal, all the centaur undead around rushed towards this position.

At this time, a large number of ice thorns suddenly appeared underwater, stabbing the centaur undead. In the face of the attack launched from the bottom of the water, these centaur undead were completely unable to resist, and a large number of centaur undead died in an instant.

Upon discovering this situation, Rhodes understood that he couldn't wait any longer, and he couldn't deal with the Water Element here by relying on the undead creatures around him.

If Rhodes has the expert-level Water Element magic, then he only needs to cast water thaumaturgy on the undead creatures under him to gain a certain advantage, but Rhodes does not have this special skill.

It was pitch black all around, and the torch in Rhodes' hands could only illuminate the position on the water. Rhodes had absolutely no idea what was going on underwater.

In this environment, Rhodes' perception was greatly limited. Even if he could vaguely determine where the Water Element was, Rhodes had no way to attack it.

Therefore, Rhodes can only choose the last option.

Rhodes, who was standing on the shore, raised his hand and exerted his death ripple with all his strength, attacking the Water Element hidden underwater.

Under the impact of the death ripple, even the Water Element hidden under water has no way to escape the damage of the death ripple.

For Rhodes, it's obviously a bit of a waste of mana to use a range spell like Death Ripple to attack a Water Element creature. But Rhodes doesn't have a better way to attack, and even if it costs a lot of mana, it can do a lot of damage to the Water Element.

As the surrounding centaurs slowly die, Rhodes' original occupied spirit attribute is returned, and the damage of Rhodes' spells is also increased.

Under the continuous wash of death ripples, the health of the Water Element drops rapidly.

Compared to Water Element's ability to cast spells, its HP is obviously a weakness. Due to the massive loss of HP in the body, Water Element is difficult to cast any spell for a while.
