Chapter 292 Second Floor of the Underground
Because of this, the spirit guardian knight captain had enough time to do its close body attack. The most powerful attacks of the spirit guardian knight captain were still close body attacks. Although it was equipped with the long-distance attributes like Harry’s bow, most of its attack power was supplied by the perfect red gem. The spirit guardian knight itself didn’t add much to it.
Close body was a completely different game against the spirit guardian knight captain. Every single strike from his ice magic sword could slow down and do ice damage to the enemy on top of the physical damage. Since it was originally a skeleton as well, every single one of his strikes would also come along with a large amount of death qi damage as well. Furthermore, If it had changed his weapon to a knight spear, he would further gain another a knockback effect.
The spirit wolf that it was sitting on was no ordinary mount too. It already had an immensely powerful close body attack by itself. On top of the ice enchantment, which could unleash frost towards the surrounding enemies to slow them down, this spirit guardian knight could easily withstand a group of enemies.
Meanwhile, Abel didn’t stop unleashing charging bolts with his Druid soul. Unlike normal wizards who could only unleash one spell at a time, Abel’s attack power was basically equal to 2 wizards in safety circumstances.
Abel began to welcome each of the skeleton archers with his Bane Ash like he was doing roll calls. Each of them was met with a level 13 Fire Bolt. If there was a slight chance that they could survive this strike, the continuous lightning bolt from Abel’s chest would surely finish them off.
During the attacking process, Abel realized something funny. Every time a skeleton archer died, a spirit guardian knight would flash to their side, lift up their skull, and give it a little sniff.
Abel thought this was strange. The skeleton archer’s soul had already been sucked up by the Horadric cube. What more could the spirit guardian knights get?
Click click click. The battle had ended along with the sound of the golden skeleton falling to the ground. Throughout the entire fight, this golden skeleton archer didn’t even have the chance to shoot out one arrow. Just like that, it was depressingly grinding to death by the spirit guardian knight captain. From its surrounding ice enchantment to its ice magic sword, the strategy of this golden skeleton archer had been upside down. Although it could recover from the slow down quickly, it still happened way too many times. Therefore, it could only accept its fate.
The spirit guardian knight captain did a victory pose as he lifted up the skull of the golden skeleton archer. After it gave it a long sniff, a very human-like satisfied drunken look emerged from its face.
Through the soul chain, Abel asked the spirit guardian knight captain what did it get from this. After the spirit guardian knight captain hung his ice magic sword and magic shield on the side of the spirit wolf, it took out an ice attributed Harry bow. It pulled on the string, and an arrow made out of bone appeared. This arrow began to glow in blue and swiftly flew out. When it made contact with a wall not too far away, the arrow scattered and a patch of blue frost appeared on the wall.
“Not bad. Even though the arrow was not strong, it can fully unleash the ability and attribute of the perfect red gem on Harry’s bow!” Abel couldn’t help but mumble to himself while nodding upon seeing it’s an effect.
The spirit guardian knights could not use portal equipment like Abel, so the arrows it could carry was very limited. Normally, it could only hang one basket of arrows on the side of the spirit wolf. There was too many equipments on the spirit guardian knight already. It included the knight spear, ice magic sword, Harry’s bow, and a magic shield if these weapons were not supported by the death qi from the skeleton.
Upon seeing the spirit guardian knight captain’s new ability, Abel turned at the other 3 spirit guardian knight. Under Abel’s command through the power of the will, they also began to test out this new ability. However, before the tip of their arrow could even form, it had vanished. It seemed like they still needed more skeleton archers, but this also suggested that this ability could be leveled up. If there were enough skeleton archers for these spirit guardian knights to suck up, maybe their arrows might be even stronger than metal ones.
In the following battles, Abel ran into some hell creatures with a higher level than the ones he faced before such as blue Carver, and Evil Hunter. However, as long as they did not have a golden leader, they couldn’t really do much to Abel and his team.
The killing continued. The countless skeleton archers had gifted the spirit guardian knights enough skulls to form their bone arrows, and finally, they had come to a cave opening.
However, no matter which angle Abel looked, this opening didn’t seem like an exit. It was pitch black. Could it be a cave within a cave?
Since they had already gone so far, Abel would not let this chance slide. He commanded the ravens to go look ahead first like usual. The Druid ability in his Druid soul was still not too strong, so he could not share sight with the ravens. He could only keep talking with it to gain a rough description if there were enemies or not.
The raven sent back a message saying there was countless red enemies upfront. Abel knew exactly what red enemies were. Fallen, there were large amounts of Fallen, but Abel and his team were not afraid of those things at all. Especially after the spirit guardian knight captain had gotten the fire enchantment, every member in Abel’s team had also gotten extremely powerful at counteracting fire spell attacks.
But before he entered, he still carefully put on both his combat qi and frozen armor. He let the spirit guardian knights enter first since their defense was the strongest. Afterward, the spirit wolves, then the poison creeper followed without his command, and the Oak Sage was the last.
After Abel entered the cave, he saw a sea of flaming red under the illumination of the night pear and the Oak Sage. The cave was actually not pitch black. There was some kind of burning equipment from afar. Their flame was also red; in fact, everything was red; this must be what hell looks like. From time to time, a Fireball would fly towards Abel.
Although Abel could counteract fire attacks very well, he did not want to face that fireball head-on. A rune sign flashed in his hand, and the fireball exploded in mid-air.
By this point, his Druid soul began to unleash the Lightning bolt, sending a sea of lighting forward. All the Fallen were horrified as they screamed and fell on the ground. At this time, the spirit guardian knights appeared next to the Fallen as they started to kill.
The Fallen kept falling. Some were killed by lightning. Some had turned green and died from the poison creeper’s poison. Some had been slashed to death by the spirit wolves’ claw. The spirit guardian knights depended on their powerful defense as they kept flashing next to the Fallen and killing their leaders.
The battle ended In no time. These basically harmless to Abel Fallen could only be his Soul potion ingredients, and the magic staff of the Fallen Shamans had become his collectibles as well.
The few thousand dead Fallen around here had also only taken up Abel around 3 hours to clean up. He recalled the battle he had with Bishibosh and the Fallen. He had almost used all his secret weapons in that battle, even the golden Elven perfume. The only major difference about this battle was lacking a Bishibosh. The Fallen this time was a lot more concentrated, so it should be even harder to fight. However, since his increase in strength, it was actually quite easy.
After cleaning up all the dead Fallen, Abel realized he was actually standing on a giant platform. There were some passages towards the lower level near the side of the platform. It seemed like he had proceeded in the wrong direction on the previous floor. This was the second flow; it leads directly to the ground.
From his memory, there should be a golden treasure box here. Not sure if it was still around.
It was for this uncertain golden treasure box, Abel decided to keep cleaning forward until he found it.
