But as the ‘Fire Bolt ‘spell pattern formed, he realized there was no more need to worry. He could feel that only a level 8 ‘Fire Bolt’ was coming from his own strength. The other five levels were directly added on by the dark gold magic cane ‘Bane Ash.’ The enchantment on it had completely bypassed his body.
The ‘Fire Bolt ‘ blew a hole in the pool of blood, leaving behind a small crater. All that remains was an orange flame and the smell of burning flesh. This was much stronger than the level 8 ‘Fire Bolt’ from before
Sadly, Abel’s ‘Warmth’ was only level 3. Even with the staff upgrading the spell by 2 levels, it barely makes a dent in his mana recovery.
Abel spent the next hour picking up all the magic canes. He did not pay too much attention to them as he was picking them up. He would go through them in more detail after he got back to the Rogue encampment.
The Scrolls of Town Portal was ignited, Abel returned to the Rouge’s encampment along with Black Wind and his 3 skeletons.
Next in line was splitting the resources. Bishibosh’s power potion obviously belonged to Rib Bone no. 1. Abel handed Rib Bone no.1 the potion. This time it didn’t hit its own forehead. Instead, it used it’s bony fingers and opened the bottle. As it carefully poured the potion into its mouth, the golden liquid encompassing its whole body from its mouth.
Abel quietly watched Rib Bone 1, as he thought about the ability it could possibly gain.
Bishibosh has many quirks. Firstly it could resurrect the Fallen and Fallen shamans.
There’s a possibility that it did not work on humans. If so, then but could only be used on skeletons, which wouldn’t be too useful. Abel could do the same for just a little bit of mana. On top of that, the other skeletons other than Rib Bone no.1 were not great in combat anyways.
Bishibosh also had the firebomb, which was just a slower, stronger Fire Bolt. However, Rib Bone 1 had no casting abilities of his own. Therefore, it could just be another bluff since it wouldn’t do anything when it came to increasing Rib Bone no.1 attacking power.
Lastly was the fire enchantment. This was Bishibosh’s greatest ability. It basically completely negates fire damage, and it could increase the fire’s physical damage by 100%. Therefore, one strike could equal to 2 strikes.
Abel couldn’t be sure about its other abilities. So now, he could only hope Rib Bone 1 got lucky.
The golden liquid encompassed Rib Bone 1, slowly absorbed into its bones. Suddenly, small little sparkles of flame began to arise from its body and spread. Bit by bit, Rib Bone no.1 started to catch on fire. Eventually, Rib Bone 1 was fully engulfed in flames.
If Abel didn’t have his the power of the will to sense that Rib Bone no.1 was not in danger, he definitely wouldn’t be able to suppress his urge to put out this fire.
The fire had burned quickly and ended quickly. After ten or so seconds, the fire was completely absorbed by Rib Bone no.1. However, the weird thing was that there were numerous tiny red patterns appearing on its bones. Afterward, they had slowed faded away.
It seemed like it was their lucky day, Rib Bone 1 had gotten the fire enchantment! Abel’s face was filled with shock as he stared at the now returned normal Rib Bone no.1. He knew it was very unlikely for Rob Bone no.1 to get fire enchantment from this ‘power potion.’ It already had ice enchantment, so the chance of the opposing fire enchantment was extremely slim.
Rib Bone no.1 couldn’t answer what ability it had gotten, but Abel was able to command it to test it out.
As soon as Abel had commanded, Rib Bone no.1 started to demonstrate its newly acquired ability. A faint red glow appeared around its body. Afterward, another red glow appeared on his ice magic sword as he lifted it up. The blue magic stone on the hilt of the sword came in direct contact with the red light and let out a cracking sound.
Abel hurriedly got off Black Wind and grabbed the sword out of its hand. Afterward, he threw the sword far away—the moment Abel had put on his frozen armor and golden combat qi enchanted armor. “Bang!” the ice magic sword exploded into countless little pieces from mid-air.
Abel felt like he was struck by those little pieces, but this explosion was caused by the normal magic stone. They were unable to pierce through his double layers of defense, not one bit of his armor was lost.
He then did a little search in his Kong Kong spirit portal bag and took out an ice magic sword and a fire magic sword. He tied the handle of the two magic swords on the body of Rib Bone no.1.
Afterward, he instructed it to pick up the ice magic sword with the ice enchantment, and fire magic sword with the fire enchantment. He was lucky that he had realized the explosion in time, else it could hurt Rib Bone no.1 quite badly. It would not be too bad if the explosion struck Rib Bone no.1’s bones in a battle. But the consequence would be the server if it struck the soul fire of its skull.
This time with the magic fire sword in hand, the red glow had turned into a flash. The fire above the sword flickered, and the sword had hit a rock on the ground. As the sword made contact with it, the fire enchantment runes on it activated, doubling its power. The rock was split in half, leaving behind a scorched mark.
A satisfaction showed on Abel’s face. He confirmed that Rib Bone no. 1 had gotten the power of fire enchantment. No matter ice or fire enchantment, it would improve with levels, constantly increasing its power.
As Abel was thinking about Rib Bone no.i’s level, the soul potions came into mind. It was time to distribute them. This battle had unexpectedly yielded a lot more soul potions than he expected. There were also many of them that he had to transfer them into the Kong Kong spirit portal because of how much space it was taking in the Horadric Cube.
He took out 2 of the 24 bottles of soul potions from the Kong Kong spirit portal, giving it to Rib Bone no.1.
Rib Bone opened the bottle poured the dark gold liquid into its eye sockets. In a flash of an eye, his bones had become polished as a jade.
‘Resurrection of skeletons’ also got a level up, increasing the number of skeletons summons from 3 to 4, and armor increased to 95, though no changes were made to damage. Though this value was only representative of the skeletons as a whole, Rib Bone 1’s attack and armor were way beyond that.
Rib Bone 1 could probably be called a wizard killer. With the increase in armor and the ice and fire enchantments, it provided it with near immunity. Therefore, wizards probably were not able to do any damage to it.
Though he had the ability to summon another skeleton, it would have to wait until the next time he entered the Cold Plain for a corpse of an infernal creature.
The first skeleton he had summoned disappointed him as it was incredibly weak, especially when compared to the ones from the Orc’s Deity. No matter attack or speed, they were able to proper wizards.
But there was hope. As ‘Resurrection of skeletons’ increased in levels, the skeletons summoned were also stronger. The skeletons were strong, but do not improve anymore.
Because the Orc’s Deity required a special torture ritual to impart the abilities of the skeleton’s owner onto the skeleton, Abel felt that it was barbaric and unacceptable.
Abel thought that the ‘resurrection of skeletons’ was the correct way of summoning. The evil method of getting a skeleton from someone alive was not the moral way to do it. It appeared that ‘resurrection of skeletons’ had started weak, but as time went on and level increased, soon enough, it would be able to exceed the skeletons from the Orc’s Deities.
