Chapter 452 - The Ash

The Ash was struck by the Shield Attack. Abel’s shield attack had already reached level 8, and it could knock the target unconscious for at least a few seconds. During this time, Abel unleashed a stream of dark gold combat qi from his Jade Tan Do and injected that dimension shadow into it.

The dimension could not stay too long in the dark gold combat qi; it had to be unleashed as soon as it was injected.

The Jade Tan Do was aimed at the Ash, and with a flick of his wrist, the dimension force shot out from the dark gold combat qi. Quietly, they made its way towards the Ash.

In exactly one second, the dimension force chopped the dark gold skeleton of the Ash in half and continued to demolish the benches behind it before it disappeared.

The Ash on the floor began to regain its consciousness. Since it didn’t have a torso, it could only lift up its 2 green glowing hands.

“It’s so strong!” Abel had forgotten that this thing was not an intelligent being in the Holy Continent. Hell creatures would not die until all their health was cleared out.

While Abel admired how strong this thing was, 2 glowing green balls flew towards him.

Black Wind viciously dashed with its 4 legs and disappeared on the spot, successfully dodging them. Afterward, another 2 glowing green balls were coming their way, but by that point, Black Wind was already running at full speed.

By this point, Ash’s body began to approach its torso, and with a click, it had turned into a full skeleton again. If the crack wasn’t so visible, no one would guess it had just been chopped into two.

“Approach!” Abel yelled, and Black Wind abruptly changed direction. It speeded straight towards the Ash as the dark gold combat wrapped around Abel’s Jade Tan Do. With Black Wind, Abel struck down.

These 50 points of force on top of the momentum of Black Wind knocked them Ash backward. The Ash was a dark gold hell leader, and it was a highly physical impact-resistant dark gold skeleton by nature, so knocking it back with one strike was already very good.

Abel was not stupid enough to use a magic attack on this thing. It’s mana resistance, could almost counteract all effects of Abel’s spell attack, especially since he was not a high ranking wizard.

The Ash kept having a bad time. The soul fire on its skull continued to flicker as it ruthlessly threw out glowing green balls. However, Black Wind easily avoided these tens of poisonous balls.

“Charge!” Abel yelled. This was the first time he had unleashed this knight technique in a battle.

Afterward, a huge golden combat qi pattern appeared on Abel’s body, illuminating both him and Black Wind. Afterward, the golden glow of this pattern began to burn, making Black Wind crazily speed towards the Ash.

Black Wind was naturally very fast. On top of this ‘charge’ ability, Abel didn’t know how to describe its speed. It was if he was penetrating air. It didn’t seem like they were charging on ground at all.

The air cracked, Abel rigidly speeded in front of the Ash. His Jade Tan Do then viciously struck out.

This level 4 ‘charge’ could increase impact by 175%. On top of Black Wind’s original speed, a huge sound erupted as it made contact with the Ash. The rib in front of the Ash began to crack. Then it was knocked backward, flying.

As the Ash was still flying in mid-air, Black Wind had already followed up in a flash. Abel had regained his shield attack on the Pelta Lunata, and just before the Ash landed, another shield strike struck it.

The Ash fell flat on the ground, and the 2-second vertigo affected it. Abel flicked his power of will, and the spirit guardian knights then flashed next to the Ash. They surrounded it in a circle and began smashing it like a piece of iron. The fire enchanted weapons were quite good, but since the Ash had been knocked unconscious, it was even easier to inflict damage. In these few short seconds, a large chunk of the Ash’s health had been taken away.

Afterward, the glowing green ball began to emerge again from the Ash’s hand. Just when Abel was about to use another ‘Charge’. That especially clever immortal Raven swooped down from the sky and pecked on the Ash’s eye socket.

It had a blinding effect. Soon, a golden glow wrapped around the Ash’s head. It had lost its eye.

“Amazing!” Abel yelled at the Raven. This strike came just in time. The 2 ‘soul potions’ did not go to waste after all.

Then, he stopped the 7 spirit guardian knights with his power of will. Once they attacked, the blinding effect would go away, so Abel paused for a while until his shield strike ability recovered again.

Abel found a comfortable spot and viciously struck down on the skull of the Ash with a shield strike from his Pelta Lunata. The stream of mana penetrated the Ash’s skull into its body.

Another 2 seconds of vertigo, the spirit guardian knights struck down at once again. Abel didn’t stop either; a dark gold string of combat qi sifted through the spirit guardian knights like an eel and began cutting on the body of the Ash.

A sense of hopelessness flashed within the eye of the Ash. Its soul fire began to burn up, and a blue glow surrounded its body.

“Dodge!” Abel yelled as Black Wind flashed away a few hundred meters.

The spirit guardian knights also follow suit the exact moment as Abel called.

The only thing that remained was that clever immortal Raven. It swooped down again and was ready for another strike. However, hen it heard its owner’s call, it was already too late. Although it could fly, it could not move in a flash. It wasn’t fast enough.

The Ash was engulfed in blue and an immensely powerful ‘Ice Nova’ and blasted outward. That Raven was just turning away, but soon it was smashed with that ice elemental blast.

After a scream of agony, the Raven turned into a block of ice and dropped on the ground.

Abel wasn’t too worried about it freezing to death. They were called immortal for a reason. If they could really die this easily, maybe those druids would need to get new Ravens every time had an exploration.

He held back his laughter and stepped up using a fireball spell. It turned into a little fire dragon and carefully melted off the ice.

The Raven escaped from the ice and began to screech. It wanted to tell it’s owner how much unnecessary suffering it had gone through.

A dark gold shadow flew out from the Ash’s remains; it was another bottle of ‘Power Potion.’

Upon analyzing, Abel was way too careful with this battle. If he just blocked those poison balls from the Ash directly, he would be able to kill the thing in no time.

The Jade Tan Do Abel had was a nightmare for elemental poison attacks, but this was not a game. He only had one life, so he didn’t want to risk it.

Abel searched around for a bit. This Ash was poor; it had nothing in it. Abel shook his head and continued to search around the big church.

The big church had nothing valuable, Abel gave up. However, he suddenly spotted a passage towards the tomes downstairs.

Abel remembered the most powerful dark gold leader in this territory, Andariel, was located in the fourth level of this underground tomes.

Abel stared at the pitch-black passage and let out a long sigh, “Let’s go; let’s go find Andariel in hell!”
