Lately, Abel had been putting the godly Horadric Malus on a rack within the Blacksmith guild of the Rogue Encampment. It was where it belonged.

This was not because Abel wanted to return the thing to where it belonged, but it was because the Horadric Malus could open a socket every 30 days. If he kept it in the Holy Continent, then for all the time he spent in Linate City, he would only have one chance to open a socket.

Since time was different between the Holy Continent and the Dark World, he could most open up one new socket every day he spent in the Holy Continent.

Abel didn’t want this chance to go to waste; he needed to make a large amount of white gear. Although the gears had some power strengthening ability from the way they were made, they didn’t have any magical attributes.

Since they were made by Abel, they were all amazing bases for magic weapons, even without magic attributes. However, their only fate was only for Abel to put sockets on them.

If the sockets were good, Abel would throw that gear into his Kong Kong Spiritual beast bag to become the base for a rune word. If the sockets were bad, Abel would throw that piece of gear to a side, give it to people in the future, or melted off to make new ones.

Abel felt hurt sometimes as well. It was not easy to make armors, helmets, and different kinds of weapons. Although he had the powerful Horadric Malus to speed up the process, he still had to make those things with his own 2 hands.

These things were like his heart and soul, and it could go to waste by just one attribute strike.

But because of this, Abel’s forgery skills had gotten noticeably better. By this point, he could just easily make any gear he wanted.

Afterward, Abel continued to move forward within the big church. He used the immortal ravens to attract the Dark One, Tainted, and Anger. These were basically the only hell creatures around here.

By this point, his battle formation was well developed. The spirit guardian knights upfront. The immortal ravens as a distraction. And himself at the back using spell attacks. Countless grey souls flew out from the dead hell creatures and entered his Horadric Cube.

Suddenly a fireball flew towards Abel, so he blocked it with his Pelta Lunata. This fireball was quite strong. Although it was not strong enough to penetrate the Pelta Lunta, it still hurt Abel a little bit. Afterward, a weird force quickly began to suck his mana away. A few thousand points of mana had turned into 100 points in no time.

“Mana Burn!” Abel was shocked. This was the ability of a real wizard killer.

He moved with his power of the will, and the spirit guardian knight captain immediately arrived next to the dark wizard. However, before the spirit guardian knight captain even had the chance to strike, the dark wizard moved away in a flash as well.

“Extra speed!” Abel mumbled.

It was clear to him that this was a dark gold level dark wizard. Its body was blue, which was unique to dark gold level dark wizards. Normally, it’s two abilities could do wonders to other wizards.

But today, it was faced with the spirit guardian knight captain. Its flash was still miles faster than the extra speed of the dark wizard. The spirit guardian knight also didn’t have any mana, it only had death qi, and it had very high immunity to fire attacks.

All of these had made the dark gold level dark wizard helpless against the spirit guardian knight captain. A chase broke out in the battlefield as Abel drank a bottle of ‘full recovery potion’. Afterward, he began to unleash fireballs and whipped out all the other hell creatures.

The other 6 spirit guardian knights began to flash as well and rounded up the dark gold level dark wizard. 7 Fire magic sword struck down at once continuously. Under some scream of agony, the dark wizard fell on the floor, and a gold shadow flew towards Abel’s Horadric Cube.

This was a totally expected gain. Both mana burn and extra speed was quite a good ability. It was too bad Abel couldn’t use it on himself. If not, he would definitely have used it.

The only summon that could benefit from the ‘mana burn’ was the spirit guardian knight captain, and the one that could benefit the most from the ‘extra speed’ was Johnson. If Abel was not lucky, this potion would go to waste.

This was the stress of privilege. If spirit guardian knight captain could really have the ‘Mana burn,’ it could truly become a nightmare for wizards. With its natural ability to move in a flash as well as the ice and fire enchantment, it could clear out all their mana in one strike. The scariest part is the slow down effect on top of the spirit guardian knight’s flashing ability; by that point, no wizards could escape.

If Johnson had the ‘extra speed’, it would also become a powerful attacker. The biggest downside was that it was too slow to chase after wizards. Although the ‘Extra Speed’ might still not be able to catch up to a wizard moving in a flash, it still would fall behind.

It was too bad Abel couldn’t summon Johnson currently; the 16th-floor magic tower was still in its stomach. He needed to find a place to secure this magic tower first.

“Let’s keep it for now!” Abel said to himself.

Upfront was a row of neat wooden benches. They were made for prayers, and many of them were still in good shape. But despite that, they were covered in blood and dust; it was quite disgusting, it looked like a dining table for the devil.

Abel moved forward, stepping on puddles of blood. The horrific smell suddenly sifted through his nose; it remained of him of the time where he was in the Countess camber on the 5th floor of the Forgotten Tower.

This place also had a giant metal sink of blood, and it was extremely eye-catching under the eternal flame of hell.

Abel thought of the Countess’s story. It seems like she was not the only one rigged by the ruler of this City. Inside the sink, there was even the scary shadow of hell. How come a sink of blood like this would appear in this place?

Abel knew that the sink of blood in the Countess’ Chamber was made by the wizard that rigged her back in the day, but that didn’t matter now. The Countess already had a new life, and Abel destroyed everything to do with hell.

Between the sink of fresh blood, there was a shrine. This original sacred place had now been contaminated to the ground.

“Click click click..” Suddenly, Abel heard the sound of bones making contact with the ground emerged from all 4 walls behind the giant church.

With a flick of a hand, the Jade Tan Do appeared on Abel’s right. Extra 20% poison resistance, Poison increased 95%. These 2 attributes made him feel a little bit safer in his heart.

Abel knew there were the ashes of a dark gold skeleton wizard in this place. It had some scary poison attacks as well as 3 attributes: extra strong, ice enchantment, and mana block.

As soon as one was struck by it, both the ice damage and poison damage would immediately show its effect.

At this moment, the spirit guardian knights did not have any poison resistance ability, so it would hurt them quite badly if they failed to dodge.

Abel moved his power of will, and the immortal ravens immediately rushed towards the sound. Soon, a few balls of green light flew out towards the sky. The 5 ravens dodged it perfectly, and this also gave away the location of the ash.

“Black Wind, Move in a flash!” Abel yelled.

Black Wind disappeared on the spot with a flash of white light. The ash was still attacking the ravens, but Abel already had his ‘shield attack’ prepared. A golden light flashed on his shield the moment he and Black Wind appeared next to the ash.
