Chapter 450 - Side Corridor
Abel had already settled in Linate City for a month now. During this time, he felt like he was back in the 4 months where he had trained in the magic. There was nothing he needed to worry about other than doing magic training and knight training. Now, he was roaming around the Prison once again.
The 7 spirit guardian knights disappeared behind Abel and reappeared in front of a group of bone archers. First, the spirit guardian knight captain did a mass slow down to the group of bone archers, and the others began their slaughter.
Abel didn’t interrupt their killing since they needed those bone archer’s souls to level up their own archery ability and strengthen their bone arrow.
Abel was on the third floor of the Prison. He had already whipped out most of the things there but he still couldn’t find the exit.
His luck had been horrible lately. He spent so long in the prison, and it had only brought him 153 bottles of Soul Potion. However, after the dragon core strengthened his body, his power of will had already reached the 120 points limit of a beginner Wizard. It wouldn’t increase it anymore, even if he used another Soul Potion.
He had also grasped the knight technique ‘shield attack’ and ‘charge’ through practice. So none of those Soul Potions had gone to waste.
All of his summons and contracts had also been leveled up with Soul Potion as well, so they couldn’t have another one for the time being.
The 5 immortal ravens had taken the Soul potion. Suddenly, they began to screech as he speeded towards a wall behind Abel. Abel quickly got out of the way.
As soon as Abel moved, a wave of anger rushed through the wall towards him.
Abel wasn’t too afraid of these mana sucking wizard killers. His knight ability was too strong, and no normal hell creature was a threat to him.
His attention was still on the immortal ravens. Those things had become a lot smarter after taking the Soul Potion, so they could spit enemies and attack even quicker. Although their attack power was still about the same, it’s blinding ability did increase after the fire enchantment.
These days he would normally only summon the spirit guardian knights, immortal ravens, and the oak sage. The ‘fire enchantment’ was too exhausting because it used so much mana, so he normally couldn’t bother to summon his spirit wolves and poison creeper.
“Ah, it seems like I’m in luck today. This must be the exit!” As Abel continued to walk, he spotted no hell creatures. He was experienced, and he knew things like this would only happen if he had found the exit.
After long periods of lonesome battles, Abel had developed a habit of talking to himself. It was a good way to keep his sanity in check within this lightless poison.
He spotted a red glow upfront. It was the relentless flame of hell. Under this glow, an exit surrounded by a metal gate appeared.
“Finally!” Abel let out a breath of relief.
Although he would use the scroll of Town Portal and return to the Rogue Encampment to meditate and rest every night, as well as leaving this place with the immense speed of Black Wind, he normally still spent his whole day in this prison. He had almost forgotten what sunlight looked like.
The metal gate wasn’t locked as Abel pulled it open. Upfront was a stone stairway leading towards the top. The immortal ravens flew out as the spirit guardian knights followed. Abel and the Oak Sage stayed at the back.
This was another experience he got after almost dying many times. One should never hope for safety upfront. There was nowhere safe in the Dark World.
After a while, they came across a huge warehouse. The night pearl on Abel’s armor lit up the place, so he had quickly found the front gate.
He opened the gate, and sunlight emerged in front of his eyes. This should be the side corridor according to his memory, and he had spotted that little teleportation station near the green patch of grass.
After using up 2 perfect stones, he ignited this little teleportation station. Abel let out a breath of relief. As long as he had this little teleportation station, he could just directly come here next time. No need to go through that dark prison all over again.
As he kept walking along the side corridor, things began to look more magnificent. The carving on the wall was full of glory from the ancient time.
Afterward, a large door appeared upfront. On top of the door was a multicolor window, very classy. This should be the big church located in the innermost center of the Rogue Encampment.
Under the dull sound of a door being pushed open, Abel walked into this big church. All of the original candles had gone out and were replaced with the eternal flame of hell. This gave a weird contrast under the grandiose design of the church.
Not long after Abel’s arrival, a large number of Devilkin and Tainted rushed forward. This holy place had been taken over by hell creatures.
Without Abel’s command, the 7 spirit guardian knights flashed forward and blocked.
The leaf magic staff on Abel began to show its powerful fighting power. The ‘Fireball’ pattern emerged, and balls of fire began to shoot forward one by one.
Each explosion could cover a large patch of creatures. Although this spell was not a real mass attack technique, it was simple since those spirit guardian knights had already rounded those hell creatures up in a small group.
Although Abel had a record of killing elite wizards in the Holy Continent, he still couldn’t get too arrogant since he had to face these vicious hell creatures in front of him.
If you were not careful, these hell creatures could generate a broken effect upon you. Once this effect kept occurring, maybe you would be helplessly beaten to death just like that.
Of course, Abel had 2 passive defense magic weapons on him, which the Dark World didn’t have. It could help him when his life was threatened, but despite that, he would still not play around with his life like that.
Ever since he had the leaf magic staff, Abel had been fighting like a wizard. He was a head commander as well, but he only had the dark gold Twitchthroe on him to increase his hit rate by 20%. This speed was still not enough when fighting against these hell creatures.
The hell creatures he would face were only going to get stronger, so he could not afford to underestimate them.
A stream of fireballs also flew towards the spirit guardian knight captain. It was coming from a fire dark Wizard. Although it was not a leader, it was still an elite since it could unleash fireballs in a role.
Since Abel was just behind it, the spirit guardian knight captain directly blocked these fireballs with its shield. After the fire enchantment, it had gained a powerful immunity to fire attacks, so these fireballs didn’t do much to it.
Afterward, the spirit guardian knight captain disappeared and reappeared next to the dark wizard in a flash of white light. Its fire magic sword struck down, and the dark wizard was dead in 3 strikes.
Although the dark wizard was killed, Abel was still not satisfied. It had taken the spirit guardian knight captain 3 whole fire enchanted strikes to kill that thing. Even though it’s rank must have been quite high to unleash that many fireballs, those things were still normally very low in health and defense.
Therefore, this suggested that the gears on the spirit guardian knight captain and its teammates were following behind the demand of the battle.
