Abe the Wizard - Chapter 389

Chapter 389: The Smith

Abel sat on Flying Flame’s back, and all the summons, including Black Wind, had been put back in his monster portal ring. There wasn’t any teleportation station in Tamoe Highland, so flying was the fastest way to get there.

After a while of cleaning up the Tamoe Highland, Abel noticed a construction from afar. It was the temple!

Abel no longer cared about those hell creatures below him; he had been searching for the Tamoe Highland Temple all this time, and he had finally found it. Flying Flame ruthlessly spit out 10 white fireballs and turned all the hell creatures on the ground into ash. However, it was up to Abel from now on. Although that building was huge, it was not big enough for Flying Flame to fly around freely within it.

Abel unleashed Black Wind, the 7 spirit guardian knights, 5 ravens, poison creeper, and the oak sage. After he fire enchanted all of them, the spirit guardian knight captain smashed open the gate.

It was at that exact moment; a row of spears flew directly towards them. The spirit guardian knight captain blocked them with its shield, and the 7 spirit guardian knights disappeared on the spot. Soon a battle had started within the temple.

Abel held the Leaf Magic Staff in his hand as he sat on top of Black Wind. He waved at Flying Flame, and it swirled up to the sky with a roar. It seemed like it was announcing that this territory belongs to it.

By the time Abel stepped inside the temple, the battle was already coming to an end. Although those red-colored Returned Archers had some powerful long-distance attack, they were still hopeless in front of enemies that could get close to them in a flash. Especially after the fire enchantment; the spirit guardian knight’s strikes were much stronger.

After the battle had ended, the ravens scattered around in the dark to search for hell creatures while the spirit guardian knights kept opening up the path. Against these normal hell creatures, Abel felt like the spirit guardian knights alone were enough to whip them out. All Abel needed to do was keep replenishing the Fire Enchantment.

They arrived at another door after a long corridor, but by this point, the spirit guardian knight captain no longer needed Abel’s commander. It directly smashed it open.

A bunch of roaring sounds set off as soon as the door was opened, and a few Yeti rushed out.

Yeti had evolved from Brute; both of them had enormous gorilla-like bodies. Their only difference was that their hair was grey, so it was harder to see them in dark environments.

Before they had the chance to get close to the spirit guardian knights, one of the front line Yeti was struck by Abel’s fireball. A huge explosion erupted,, and the 3 Yeti around it blast into flames. Since his Horadric Cube could push damage to the max, that 109 points of fire damage had taken the Yeti’s life immediately.

Abel sensed 8 points of mana return to him through the Leaf Magic Staff. Although it was still not enough to replenish the 15 points of double mana he had used, it was still a smooth one strike kill.

Abel truly felt like a wizard. It was not that he didn’t want to use his knight techniques; it was that the Leaf Magic Staff was a two-handed weapon. It required two hands to be placed on at the same time to trigger its effect.

The battles afterward were too easy, the spirit guardian stood at front as defense, and Abel kept unleashing fireballs into the Yeti. The poison creeper ruthlessly injected poison in them as well. And just like that, their lives slowly faded away.

This simple formula for battle had increased Abel’s speed of moving forward dramatically, and nothing could stop it–not thorn Beasts, spiky Quill Rats, and especially not those Devilkins and Devilkin Shamans.

Soon, Abel had come across a little teleportation station next to the flower bush. Since the place was so confined, there wasn’t anything covering the station other than a thick layer of dust.

Abel had spent 2 perfect gems to light this outer pathway teleportation circle. He let out a breath of relief; from now on, he could just teleport here directly without going through all the hassle.

Flying Flame no longer needed to wait outside, so Abel just told it through the soul chain that it could go back to the Rogue Encampment. For the following days, Abel kept entering the outer pathway to clean up these maze-like corridors. On the 9th day, he discovered a secret chamber.

As soon as he opened it, a bunch of fireballs flew out. They were coming from a group of Bone Shamans. The spirit guardian knight captain then began to glow red. It was fire enchanted, and the other spirit guardian knights did the same as they ran inside.

They could hear bones cracking when Abel and Black Wind entered the chamber. Everything seemed mysterious here, it was guarded by a bunch of Bone Shamans and Bone Archers, but those spirit guardian knights were fine with long distance attacks. Their ability to move next to the enemy in a flash was too overpowering.

The spirit guardian knight would suck up the soul’s of every dead archer. Abel knew this was a way for them to increase their long-distance attack ability.

The chamber was not big, and there weren’t many bone archers or bone shamans. Soon, they were all whipped out.

The spirit guardian knight knights flashed inside the inner room. Suddenly, Abel heard a huge sound. A spirit guardian flew out, followed by another, and then another. Abel quickly retracted them. The 3 didn’t get hurt too bad. Most of the hit was taken by their armor and their own body’s defense, so their actual health points didn’t decrease too much.

Now, a blue-colored deformed-looking monster walked out. It was the Smith, a powerful dark gold hell creature. It was the one who took the Charsi Hammer in the Rogue Encampment. `

This Smith had one type of enchantment, and that was Extra Strong.

Extra Strong: +150% physical damage, +25% hit rate, minor +75% physical damage.

The Smith was already strong in the first place, and this Extra Strong ability had almost doubled its strength. No wonder those spirit guardian knights were thrown out one by one.

Abel flashed his portal bracelet and then swapped out the Leaf Magic Staff in his hands with a Jade Tan Do and Pelta Lunara. In the past, he wouldn’t use these small weapons against a giant monster like this, but now he no longer cared so much since he grasped the dark gold combat qi.

The Smith stared at Abel, realizing that Abel was the owner of the summons. Therefore it raised its arms and rushed forward with a roar.

Abel picked up his Pelta Lunta and smashed against the Smith. Bang! Both Abel and the Smith did not budge, but Black Wind’s legs began to shake, and Abel could feel it.

However, since Abel just had a crazy attribute increased, an intense battle like this was just what he needed. He jumped off Black Wind and gave it a little pat, telling it to move aside first. Afterward, Abel made an evoking hand gesture towards the Smith.

The Smith roared and rushed forward again. This time, it ruthlessly struck forward with both of its hands as though it was hammering an iron flat.

Abel was not a weak man; he decided to try out that new shield strike technique to counteract the Smith. Under continuous powerful strikes, Abel began to master the shield strike technique.

During a shield strike, a combat qi pattern would appear on the shield, and one would need to ignite it through mana. Since this was entirely new for Abel, he needed to keep trying to gain experience.

Abel began to feel tired after a while, but the Smith kept going like a machine. Not a single bit of strength had decreased.

Abel truly understood the meaning of deformed. The Extra Strong ability had mangled with the naturally immense strength of the smith. Just when Abel began to wonder why it wasn’t getting tired, he suddenly thought*. Do hell creatures even get tired?*
