The 8 spirit guardian knights went down the tunnel. Although Abel did not know what it was like down there, he waited for a bit, and there were no sounds of battle. It should have been safe.
Afterward, he sped down the tunnel through the dark on Black Wind. The endless flame of hell flashed in front of him the moment he exited the tunnel, and he could see a few zombies moving slowly.
The spirit guardian knight captain stopped it’s followers and did not join the battle. Instead, he waited for Abel to come. Their main task was to protect. After draining many bottles of soul potion, it was basically as smart as a normal human.
The Oak Sage floated behind Abel, which could increase the health points for Abel and his summons.
Abel moved his gaze away from the zombies; they couldn’t do much to him. He then carefully examined his surroundings. Although he had been roaming around the underground tomb quite a lot lately, he rather saw any perfectly preserved barrels. However, there were 4 in front of him right now.
After seeing its master’s gaze, the spirit guardian knight captain flashed towards the battle and struck down with its big sword. The barrel scattered into flying pieces. It was empty.
“Eh, what a low quality trap!” Abel sighed to himself.
The spirit guardian knight captain struck the second barrel. As soon as its sword made contact with it, a roar of flame shot out, lighting up the third battle and exploded.
It engulfed the spirit guardian knight captain and the other barrel in flame. The spirit guardian knight captain did not take much damage. Although the explosion looked vicious, the actual damage was not that high. It was targeted towards those who did not have armor on.
The last barrel was blast to pieces.
It was in this eerie moment. Under the sound of flames and barrel cracking, Abel heard a little object fall towards the ground.
He jumped down from Black Wind and walked towards the scattered barrel. Jut as he expected, there was a ring with a blue gem on top of it. Afterward, he took out everything in his Horadric Cube and shoved the ring inside,
Jade Ring
Anti poison: +25%
“Not bad!” Abel mumbled as he happily put the ring on his finger. Although he did not have time to examine the attribute of this blue ring, he knew what was waiting for him. This attribute could help him a lot.
The zombies were whipped out in no time. Under the sword of those spirit guardian knights, none of them could escape. Soon, this not so big room was clear under the endless flame of hell.
Abel led Black Wind and the Oak Sage towards a closed wooden in the room. He gently nodded towards the spirit guardian knight captain. Then, it flashed next to the door handle, and carefully twisted it.
As soon as the door was open, they could hear the sound of burning flame and depressing screams.
“Dark Demon!” Abel immediately knew what it was when he heard the sound. They were black colored demons with a one handed ax. As long as there was a Dark Demon, it meant a Dark Shaman would be around. They could endlessly resurrect Dark Demons.
However, this endless resurrection wasn’t much to Abel. As soon as a creature had died in front of him, their souls would get sucked into the Horadric Cube and turn into soul potions.
“Go!” Abel gently yelled as he speeded forward with the Leaf Magic Staff in his hand.
This was not because Abel wanted to show off how brave he was, but because Black Wind’s feet were faster than those flashing spirit wolves under the spirit guardian knights.
The spirit guardian knights flashed inside, and they had already attracted the attention of those Dark Sharman. Soon, they began throwing fireballs.
The spirit guardian knight captain was smart, and his team’s fighting style had gotten a lot more tactical. They could see under the endless flickering flame of hell; this decent size room had 4 Dark Sharman, a few hundred Dark Demons, and some slow moving zombies.
Under the guidance of the spirit guardian knight captain, 4 spirit guardian knights flashed next to the Dark Sharman. Since their powerful strength were further strengthened by the Fire Enchantment, they could basically dominate those naturally weak bodied Dark Sharman in a close body battle. Soon, those Dark Shamans had vanished from existence.
The ‘fireball’ spell of Abel also began to show its power. One fireball flew towards the centre of those Dark Demons and blasted them with fire damage.
Black Wind kept switching positions, which allowed Abel to throw out fire balls even more efficiently.
Abel kept his eyes on the condition of the room as he kept attacking. The horrific smell of blood here was a lot thicker than any place he had been in; soon he realized the reason.
In the center of the room, there was a hole, and that hole was filled with blood. There were even a few rotten corpses floating within it. It had probably been in there for years.
Abel looked at those corpses and looked at the zombies. An idea popped into his head. Is this where zombies come from?
To Abel, the corpses looked just like a half complete zombie. Maybe back in the days before hell had left, these corpses were in the process of becoming zombies. But since the hell demons responsible for making zombies had left, these corpses were stuck like this.
This also explained why these corpses could be preserved for so long. By this point, Abel felt disgusted, which he rarely did. All zombies were once a human in the Dark World.
“Hell, you deserve to die!” Abel cursed, as another fireball pattern emerged on top of his leaf magic staff. Afterward, a giant fireball flew towards the hole and burned the corpses into ash. He felt like this way; the dead could only be at peace.
Abel continued to throw out a fireball every time a zombie was killed. He didn’t care about washing mana; he just had to cremate those zombies. Every single one of them was once human, maybe even human from the Rogue Encampment.
The fight ended in no time. Every inch of that room by that point was scattered with blood. Some were blasted out by Abel’s fireball, and some were the black blood spilled out by hell creatures.
Abel did not proceed to the next battle. Instead he waited for a while. He then took out his only ‘Poison antidote’ and put it in his Snake Ego belt. He then filled up all the other slots with Full Recovery Potions.
Afterward, he replenished the ‘fire enchantment’ for the spirit guardian knights. The next battle might get messy, so they needed to prepare properly.
Afterward, Abel took out a scroll of ‘broken ice armor’ from his portal bracelet. It was a level 20 scroll. He had gotten it from killing elite wizard Bunker.
Although he had other higher-level defense scrolls, Abel was only an intermediate wizard. So he could only use intermediate scrolls.
In a flash of frost, an ice crystal armor appeared on Abel’s body. Of course, Abel did not stop there. He unleashed his combat qi, and in a flash of golden light, a tight golden bodysuit appeared on top of it. It was his combat qi armor.
