Chasing and Killing Three

The blue-robed Mage immediately unleashed an Ice Arrow at the Undead War Horse.

Compared to the Magic Arrow, the Ice Arrow clearly consumed more Mana, but the blue-robed Mage still chose to use it.

The blue-robed Mage knew clearly in his heart that if he had used the Magic Arrow, even if it hit the Undead War Horse, unless it struck the head, it would only create a bloody hole. Although it could affect its Speed through the injury, it wouldn't be able to kill it in one blow, and it would still be able to chase after him.

Because he needed to cast Magic while riding a galloping horse, the blue-robed Mage feared that the horse's bumps would cause his Magic to deviate significantly. He worried that using the Magic Arrow wouldn't be enough to kill the Undead War Horse, so he used the more powerful Ice Arrow.

The Ice Arrow shot towards the Undead War Horse beneath the Vampire. If it were a normal creature, like the Wolf King Rhode had dealt with initially, or a Vampire with combat awareness, it would instinctively sense danger and try to dodge the Spell.

The transformed Undead War Horse clearly lacked this ability. Being a low-level Undead Creature without its own consciousness, it didn't think to dodge the Ice Arrow shot at it. Instead, it continued to charge rapidly towards the blue-robed Mage ahead, following Rhode's orders.

When the Vampire saw the blue-robed Mage raise his hand, he realized he was preparing to cast a Spell and began looking for an opportunity.

The Ice Arrow was about to hit the Undead War Horse. At the moment the Undead War Horse was closest to the blue-robed Mage, the Vampire leaped from the Undead War Horse, his claws extending straight towards the blue-robed Mage in front of him.

The Ice Arrow directly struck the front of the Undead War Horse, blowing open half of its body and simultaneously covering it in frost.

Because the Vampire had leaped from the Undead War Horse a moment earlier, he was unaffected by the Ice Arrow. Instead, due to the Undead War Horse's previous mad dash, at this distance, if the blue-robed Mage had no reaction, the Vampire could have directly torn him apart.

As expected, the second Ice Arrow arrived before the Vampire. Seeing this, the Vampire directly used Bat Form, his body transforming into a mass of Black Mist. The Ice Arrow shot through the Black Mist, causing no damage to the Vampire.

From within the Black Mist, a large number of Bats surged towards the blue-robed Mage's location and the horse beneath him. Using the cover of night, these Bats seemed to merge with the surrounding shadows, revealing their ferocious fangs in the darkness.

As soon as the Black Mist appeared, the blue-robed Mage had already begun preparing the next Spell.

At this moment, seeing the Bats lunging towards him, the blue-robed Mage raised his hand, and the Ice Ring, which had cleared most of the Bats on the battlefield earlier, reappeared.

With a massive explosion, an ice-blue ripple spread outwards from the blue-robed Mage. The Bats formed from the Vampire's Bat Form died in large numbers instantly, with Black Mist exploding in the air one after another.

From within the Black Mist, the Vampire's figure appeared, but he could barely stand, almost falling to the ground. His condition was clearly very poor.

Because this Bat Form was cast very close to the blue-robed Mage, all the Bats were within the casting range of the Ice Magic Ring. This resulted in the blue-robed Mage killing most of the Bats instantly with just one Ice Magic Ring. In an instant, the Vampire had very little Health left.

After the Bat Form ended, the Vampire completely ignored the blue-robed Mage behind him and quickly ran to the Undead War Horse that had just been killed, beginning to devour its Flesh and Blood.

As long as the Vampire consumed Flesh and Blood, he could recover Health, whether it was from ordinary creatures or from Undead Creatures whose Flesh and Blood had not yet decayed. Through this method of consuming Flesh and Blood, the Vampire's Health was restored.

On the other side, after releasing the Ice Magic Ring, understanding the nature of Vampires, the blue-robed Mage intended to cast an Ice Arrow to kill it. However, to his surprise, the explosion generated by casting the Ice Magic Ring had frightened the horse beneath him.

Although the blue-robed Mage and the horse were at the center of the Ice Magic Ring and the horse took no damage from it, the violent explosion generated by the Ice Magic Ring stimulated its instincts, causing it to lose control in its fear.

The horse beneath the blue-robed Mage reared up on its front hooves and thrashed wildly, throwing the blue-robed Mage off its back onto the ground before galloping away in one direction.

The blue-robed Mage was suddenly thrown from the horse and fell to the ground. Based on his usual experience, the blue-robed Mage knew to absorb most of the impact with his back.

Although the sudden fall didn't cause the blue-robed Mage too much injury, seeing his horse galloping away, his mood turned extremely foul.

The blue-robed Mage clearly hadn't expected that at this most critical juncture, his escape horse would be startled and throw him off to run away.

The blue-robed Mage got up from the ground, took out a Healing Magic Scroll from his pocket, and tore it open to restore his condition.

He turned to look at the Vampire not far away, who was devouring the horse's Flesh and Blood, and condensed an Ice Arrow in his hand, shooting it in its direction.

The Vampire was quickly devouring Flesh and Blood and didn't notice the Ice Arrow rapidly shooting towards it. By the time it sensed something was wrong, it was too late; the Ice Arrow was already in front of it.

Suddenly, a Round Shield flew through the air, blocking the Ice Arrow. With a bang, the Round Shield was knocked away by the Ice Arrow, flying towards the Vampire.

The Vampire reacted immediately and dodged to the side.

At this moment, Rhode had also arrived and dismounted. Seeing the situation on the field, he immediately threw the Round Shield from his Space Ring, blocking the Ice Arrow.

Compared to the blue-robed Mage fleeing on horseback, Rhode was more worried about him hiding in the woods.

Since it was already considered midnight, Rhode could still quickly track the horse's tracks left behind. However, if the blue-robed Mage were to hide in the woods, Rhode wouldn't be able to find him in a short time and would have to wait until morning to figure something out.

Therefore, Rhode had the Vampire ride the Undead War Horse to catch up to the blue-robed Mage first and engage him in a struggle.

Rhode deeply understood the power of a Mage, so he knew that the Vampire alone could not defeat the blue-robed Mage. For the battle between the Vampire and the blue-robed Mage, Rhode only hoped that the Vampire could stall the blue-robed Mage, and ideally, kill the blue-robed Mage's horse first.

At this moment, although the Vampire himself was heavily injured, what he had accomplished clearly exceeded Rhode's expectations. Not only had he consumed a large amount of the blue-robed Mage's Mana, but he had also caused the blue-robed Mage's horse to be startled and flee.

Rhode knew that an effective way to weaken a Mage before a battle was to trick him into using his skills through various means, causing him to waste Mana for nothing.

Rhode took out his Iron Sword from his Space Ring and looked at the blue-robed Mage not far away.
