Chapter 217: 217
After picking up Flavie’s bow, Abel dug a hole at the entrance with his sword . Once he finished digging, he dropped the bow into it and started filling up the hole . He then found a piece of wood and built a grave with it . On the piece of wood, he carved in some text with the tip of his blade .
“Here lies a great and loyal warrior . Her name was Flavie; the rogue archer who was the guardian of this land . ”
After he did all that, he gave another bow in front of the grave . She might be in a different race than him, but she definitely deserved respect for being the loyal warrior that she was .
Just when Abel was about to walk to the end of the pathway, he could feel a chilling air that was soaring at him . No wonder it was called the Cold plains . The temperature there must be at least twenty degrees colder than the Blood Moor .
Abel started looking around . Whenever he found some hard rocks on the ground, he would try to dig for something with his big sword . Unfortunately for him, the only things he got were just a bunch of rocks .
He wanted to find a waypoint here . Since it had been too long since it was last used, it was probably hidden underneath the earth . If only Black Wind was here, it could’ve just sniffed out the right location for him .
After searching for two hours, Abel was about to give up . Then, the tip of his blade started touching something hard . When he tried to dig the soil away with his blade, a magic circle appeared in front of him .
Abel took out two perfect diamonds from his kong kong spiritual beast bag . After placing them the slots at the circle’s two ends, the rune pattern on it started glowing in bright light . Soon, the lights started fading until the only things that were shining were the diamonds themselves .
As Abel stood on top of the waypoint, a range of options popped up in his head . Right now, he could only choose between going to Rogue’s Encampment or the Cold Plains .
After choosing the Rogue’s Encampment, a white light started surrounding itself around Abel . Next thing he knew, he was already at the waypoint inside the Rogue’s Encampment . It was very convenient for him since he no longer had the need to find his enemies by foot .
Speaking of which, where was Rib Bone? From what it looked like, it probably didn’t follow him back to the Rogue’s Encampment . Because of how far it was from the Cold Plain, he could try to communicate with it with his power of the Will . He could try to read its status with the Horadric Cube, though .
Just when Abel opened up his Horadric Cube and looked for Rib Bone’s details, he could see that its experience point was increased by two . He did not expect that at all . If killing one enemy meant that you would receive one experience point, did Rib Bone just kill two enemies on its own?
Suddenly, Rib Bone’s experience points increased by two again . If a double kill occurred twice in a row, there must be something going on that Abel wasn’t aware of . As far as he knew, if he came to the Cold Plain again, the experience point Rib Bone would get would be just one .
Abel focused his power of the Will into the Horadric Cube’s skill tree . As soon as he noticed the skeleton symbol inside, his field of vision changed into that of what Rib Bone was looking at .
From what it looked like, Rib Bone was having a fight with a giant beast . While it was guarding the attacks with its shield, the impact was so great that it had to keep moving back on its two legs .
Suddenly, as a ray of blue light flashed by, the giant beast’s body was covered in frost . It was starting to slow down, which gave Rib Bone the opportunity to finish it off with a knight’s consecutive attack . It tried to resist, of course, but it wasn’t so easy to get out of the freezing effect of the freezing enhancement .
Soon, Rib Bone prepared itself for a second knight’s consecutive attack . While its offensive ability was reduced, there was still quite a lot of damage being released when a physical attack was combined with death qi . By the time it was about to unleash its fourth attack, the giant beast was already lying dead on the ground . When that happened, the soul of the giant beast flew out and went into Rib Bone’s body .
Abel just noticed something . If Rib Bone could absorb souls to improve its strength, maybe it could just drink the soul potion instead . If that was the case, however, the six bottles that he had would not be enough at all .
From the icon on the skill tree, Abel could control Rib Bone to walk to the waypoint . After that, he was able to transport it to the waypoint at the Rogue’s Encampment .
Once Rib Bone came, Abel took out the soul potion that had the corpsefire’s soul in it . He could see that Rib Bone got very excited at the sight of it . Even without his command, it was walking straight at him for it .
Abel wasn’t planning to use the soul potion on himself . Since it was cleared labeled “only for summoned beings,” something would probably go wrong if he tried to drink it himself .
Once the soul potion was passed over to Rib Bone, it started “drinking” it in the same weird way that it did . It crashed the bottle on its head, which made the dark gold potion pouring all over its body . Blue flames started striking up in its hollow eyes . Its bones were starting to thicken . It was becoming a lot stronger .
After ten or twenty minutes, Abel watched as Rib Bone finished its transformation . When he saw the attribute for the “resurrection of skeletons” spell, he realized that there was a change .
Resurrection of Skeletons
Description: Summon one skeleton from a dead monster’s corpse to fight for you .
Mana cost: 7
Number of skeletons: 2
Damage: 1-2
Health Point: 21
Current level: 2
Progress till the next level: 23/5600
One bottle of the corpsefire’s soul potion . That’s all it took for Rib Bone to rank up by two . As it turned out, the soul potion was just a potion for extra experience points for it .
Come to think of it . It wasn’t just Rib Bone and Abel . White Cloud and Black Wind needed the soul potion as well . There was only one way to get them, however, and that was for Abel to kill the hell creatures themselves . So far, the potions that he had were too little to be distributed
Wait . Abel just remembered something . The number of skeletons he could summon was two . After bringing Rib Bone to the waypoint, Abel came to the Cold Plain and walked towards the giant beast that was just killed . After waving his hand, he drew out the death qi from its body and “bang,” a newborn skeleton was standing right in front of him .
Abel took a look at this second skeleton . Contrary to what he had thought, it did not possess the freezing enhancement ability . As it turned out, special abilities weren’t meant to be shared amongst all summoned beings of the same master .
Abel took out two magic armors from his kong kong spiritual beast bag . While they were usually meant for practice, he decided to have both Rib Bone and the new skeleton wear them . They were both magic armors, with sol, the twelfth rune word written them . What sol could do was that it could increase one’s defensive ability against physical attacks .
If the first one was called Rib Bone, what should the second one be? After thinking to himself, Abel decided that he would be lazy for once . The first one was going to be called Rib Bone no . 1, whereas the second one would be called Rib Bone no . 2 .
While Rib Bone no . 1 one was just as fast after wearing the magic armor, Rib Bone no . 2 became a lot slower . Its speed was reduced by about two-thirds, and since it was carrying Abel’s ice magic sword and magic shield, its speed was now twice as slow as it was originally .
