Chapter 1166: Body
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Abel was very happy with this angel body, but what about his nether region?
Were all angels like this?
But he was not planning to use this body to pass on his genes anyway. He wanted to be a real man, as a human or elf. It just felt a little strange to have nothing down below.
This angel body was full of big surprises. Although it was made entirely out of energy, it felt and looked just like blood and flesh.
He couldn’t help but think about Izual, so he reached his power of the will into the Crystal Angel statue. Since it merged with the druid soul, it had become half-transparent.
Still, Izual, the legendary knight, and the souls of 9 mad knights remained in the space within it.
He focused on Izual since it was an actual angel, but there was a big difference.
Izual’s body looked like a cloud of light, not blood and flesh.
Maybe it was because his angel body was still at a beginner stage, and it would look like Izual as it leveled up.
“Right, clothes!” Abel wondered why he always felt a little strange during this time because he was naked.
Although he was inside the Rogue Encampment, where even the high elves were not around, he still couldn’t accept the fact that he was naked.
Just when he wanted to reach into a portal object, he realized there was nothing on him. Everything was still on his human body.
However, it was at that moment. He sensed a strange dimension from his power of will.
There was a space of 100 square meters inside his angel body.
He quickly scanned through the angel’s knowledge and found his answer.
That space was the carrying space of an angel, and his rank dictated its size.
100 square meters was a normal size, but Abel had not even started training yet.
It was at that moment he realized once again how blessed he was.
As you know, the size of portal bags for most wizards in the Central Continent was only a few square meters. Even a law-defying wizard might not have one more than 20 square meters.
It was such a huge head start, and Abel wouldn’t be able to comprehend if he had not experienced it first hand.
Abel was considered a genius by the wizard union and the entire Central Continent. He had a Dark World as support as well as a Holy object Horadric cube. Yet, even after so many years of battles, he was only a rank 22 wizard.
An adult angel, on the other hand, was more powerful than him, even without training.
He scanned his holy portal bag on his human body and found some comfortable noble hunting clothes, making him feel safe again.
Luckily, the angel body was the exact size of his original human body, so everything fit well.
Since his wings were the only things that looked like an actual cluster of energy, it went right through when he put on the clothes.
His clothes were unaffected by the wings. But it was also because of this. He realized he couldn’t use his wings to fly. Instead, they were used for gathering energy.
If the Dark World were not suppressing him, his body could levitate by itself as a cluster of energy anyway.
After a few hours of testing, Abel truly sensed how mysterious this angel body was. He then gazed back at his old body.
It was his real body, nevertheless. But if he could only control one body at once, he could never unleash their full potential.
So, before he started his angel training, he would master controlling 2 bodies at once first.
If not, he would be wasting large amounts of time training as an angel while his human form did nothing.
If he could control 2 bodies at once, he would be able to do wizard training as well, which was double the rate of progress.
Most importantly, he would be able to fight on two fronts when he mastered controlling 2 bodies.
Having such coordination was not as simple as one plus one equals two. However, with such a powerful body besides him, he could drastically increase his exploration in the Dark World.
He carefully reached a little stand of consciousness towards his human body, and it stood up.
He needed to learn how to walk, jump, and run, all over again like an infant.
Since he was controlling two bodies for the first time, no experience could help him.
He started with daily tasks and slowly made his way up, and he would repeat it every day after he finished his wizard training and battles in the Dark World.
He kept his patience. After he mastered doing the same things with two bodies, he spent some more days practicing doing different movements.
Half a month went by, and he finally mastered controlling 2 bodies doing different tasks without one being affected.
He realized one thing during these days. Although he could not tell when he was training with his godly power in Rogue Encampment, his angel form was just like a normal professional in the Pandemonium Fortress, even when his world stone was not ignited.
He had been training in his human form for too long. As a grandmaster alchemist, he had extremely precise control over his body.
He thought it might not be the case as an angel, but it was actually just as scary.
After all, it would always take a long time for one to adjust to a new body since each joint and muscle moved in a unique way that dictated their speed and motion.
The angel body, on the other hand, was extremely smooth to Abel. It was almost like he was training it for countless years.
This was also why he had mastered controlling two bodies at once in such a short period of time.
Not only that, but those 2 bodies seemed to function on the same instinct, just like having 4 arms and 4 legs
Soon, he added some fighting moves to his training and gained the confidence to test out using 2 bodies for an actual battle.
To be honest, it was a little early since Abel still had not started any angel training, so his angel body could only fight like a knight.
But still, it was just a little test—Abel was not planning to fight too many hell creatures at once.
At that moment, his angel body was wearing dark gold armor with the spirit sword and spirit shield on his hand.
It was not the best gear he had, but it was just for temporary use anyway.
Although he knew how strong the defense of his angel body was, he still summoned Doff the Beamon to enchant his two bodies for safety’s sake.
If he made a single mistake, the result might be catastrophic.
Of course, he also gave Black Wind to his angel body. This way, he could fully unleash his knight’s potential.
He took a turn in the Flaming River and came across a group of 10 typical demons with fire attacks. Although they had weapons on hand, their close-range fighting ability was extremely weak.
It was exactly what Abel was looking for. With attribute resistance of the angel body as well as the 30% resistance increase of his gear, it was unlikely that he would get himself hurt.
Abel stopped his summons and charged towards the 10 demons with his two bodies just like that.
When they noticed Abel approaching, Abel flashed away in his human body.
As a wizard, he wanted to keep his distance with a power of the will range of 1500 meters.
He cast a blizzard storm, and the demons were slowed down right in front of his angel body.
His angel body quickly approached a demon and struck out with his spirit sword. Bang!
It was almost like the air particles beside him had exploded. It was such a thrill. It had been a long time since Abel last fought with a sword.
However, the result was not as fabulous as it looked. Hell creatures had a naturally strong resistance to physical impacts, and Abel was basically just using brute force with no skills.
After all, knight skills required combat qi, and Abel’s angel body didn’t have any. In fact, he could not even move any energy within his angel body without angel training.
Still, the brute force of an angel alone was enough to knock back that demon for a few steps.
He followed up and struck towards the other demons. But, since they were all slowed down and an angel was especially fast, they were all knocked back before they even got the chance to get close.
Since the blizzard spell’s attack range was behind those demons, they had no chance of escaping.
They began to drop dead one by one. Abel was feeling good. He finally had the confidence to fight with 2 bodies.
Abel did not cast another spell or let his angel body attack when there was only one demon left standing. Instead, he decided to take a fire attack on his angel body.
Flames burned on his armor. But, since it had the power to regenerate, the flames did not even make a mark.
Abel’s angel body did not feel any pain; in fact, it kind of felt like being under warm water.
