Abe the Wizard - Chapter 795
Chapter 795: Fangskin
Abel knew they were servant level vipers after looking at their shells, and behind them was the eye-catching green color claw viper.
It was Fangskin, the ruler of this place. It was quick. Moments ago, it was still at the very back, but it overtook the other vipers and salamanders. Even the firewall couldn’t do much to it.
When a spirit guardian knight struck it, it utilized the momentum of its speed and slammed in the spirit guardian knight, knocking it back for a few steps.
Simultaneously, countless claw vipers and salamanders also caught up and attacked the spirit guardian knight.
The spirit guardian knight was fully equipped with rune word gears. It had increased their defense dramatically, but it was only enough to give an edge during battle. The knockback ability of those vipers was too overpowering.
The spirit guardian knights kept getting knocked back. Even though they killed many claw vipers and salamanders, there were still hundreds of them.
Abel cast another firewall among those claw vipers and salamanders. They began to screech in agony, but they didn’t stop their attacks.
The remaining claw vipers sped out of the firewall and kept going at the spirit guardian knights.
Their knockback ability had broken the chain attacks of those spirit guardian knights, limiting their knight potential.
On the other hand, Fangskin was even scarier. Lightning arcs emerged on its body within the firewall. Afterward, 4 lighting strikes blasted out of its body towards all directions.
2 of the lightning strikes did not hit anything, but another 2 had injured the spirit guardian knights. It was the power of a dark gold boss.
Luckily this was only a mass attack, so Abel’s Druid soul had automatically replenished the life of those spirit guardian knights.
Abel ignited a chain of lighting, but he soon realized it was not as effective as he expected. He saw Fangskin defusing the lightning strikes. Abel smiled awkwardly. Suddenly, he remembered something, wasn’t this ‘lightning enchantment?
A dark gold boss with lightning enchantment could dramatically increase the lightning resistance of itself, and it’s servant hell creatures. Therefore, lightning spells couldn’t do much to them.
Abel couldn’t help but change the spell again. He kept casting the firewall in front of the spirit guardian knights as it was still the most effective.
It seemed like Abel had found his formula. The claw vipers and salamanders died screeching in the firewall, and the other vipers entering from the back met the same fate.
Even Fangskin began to screech. The attacks had turned it crazy. It could just knock back the spirit guardian knights but never broke their defense.
As Abel kept casting the firewall spell like a machine, burning those claw vipers and salamanders to death left and right, Fangskin suddenly let out a howl and vanished into a flash of white light.
Abel immediately felt his heart drop. He was drawing another spell pattern. His head commander intuition told him that danger was coming.
He stopped the spell and held the shield on his left in front chest. At the same time, he drew a ‘move in a flash’ spell pattern with his right.
Suddenly, Fangskin appeared out of mid-air and bit towards Abel with its sharp fangs.
Abel was certain that it had the hell’s Extra Fast enchantment looking at how fast it was. Although Black Wind also had the same enchantment, the dark gold bosses had the most powerful form.
Their speed was almost neck to neck, so Black Wind had no choice,
“Wooo” a white light flashed, and the bite of Fangskin landed on empty space. Black Wind and Abel vanished from the spot.
Fangskin frantically looked around with its red eyes, but Abel was nowhere to be seen.
Abel sensed Fangskin’s intention before it attacked. He immediately ignited the move in a flash spell marking on the skin tree and dodged just in time.
This was how Fangskin ended up in that situation.
Although Abel was a head commander, he did not have many powerful close body attack skills. It would be very dangerous to high a dark gold level boss in the Dark World.
He knew if Fangskin had the Fire Enchantment, it could have killed him in one strike.
Therefore, close combat with any hell creature was risky. Abel had stopped doing that ever since he left the Rogue Encampment.
He would only do so again once he got a full set of powerful close combat attack and defense skills.
But the only close combat skill remaining in the Holy Continent was the knight’s ‘charging’ ability. Although Abel had gotten Bartoli’s family inheritance as well, the only close combat skill he gained was the ‘shield strike.’
These 2 abilities were far insufficient to support him in close body combat with a hell creature. It could only be used as a last resort.
Abel’s flashed dragged out his distance with Fangskin. He reappeared 30 meters away and immediately threw out another firewall 20 meters from him.
This firewall spell was already prepared on his right before the flash. It was a trick he learned from an intermediate wizard in Miracle City.
Fangskin screeched and dashed towards Abel. The firewall did not stop it, or in another word, it was not afraid of it. Although it could damage it a little, Hell’s alterations had stripped the concept of fear.
After passing through the firewall, an ice pole appeared, and it crashed into it.
The ice pole shattered open and turned into ice crystals, immediately slowing down its momentum.
Abel knew the slow down effect of ice poles was very effective on normal hell creatures, but it wouldn’t last long on these dark gold bosses.
After being attacked twice, 8 strikes of lightning shot out from Fangskin. 2 flew towards Abel.
Abel flashed away again. He didn’t want to make contact with that lightning since it could follow its target, and he would be numbed once he was touched by it.
Being numbed against a dark gold boss was basically death.
The ‘move in a flash’ spell pattern emerged simultaneously on the tip of his knight sword and the shield on his left. Afterward, he appeared behind the spirit guardian knights who were fighting with the claw vipers and salamanders.
The vipers and salamanders sensed a human, and some of the closest ones to Abel had already begun dashing towards him.
However, Abel already had 2 ‘move in a flash’ spell patterns prepared. Abel vanished again.
Abel reappeared again on the fallen sun shrine, and there was only one path towards it.
All the claw vipers and salamanders were attracted towards that path. There was no longer a single hell creature left around the sides of the fallen sun shrine.
Since Abel was not in any danger, he kept throwing out firewalls and formed a flaming barrier between the sun shrine and the vipers.
