Chapter 239: 239
Just when Abel thought that he could clear off a lot of these fallen with his “charged bolt,” he realized how weak it was against the dark hunters and corrupt spearwomen . It’s almost as if they were resistant to lightning attacks .
Before the fallen could get to Abel, Rib Bone no . 1 brought no . 2 and no . 3 to form a blockade . Abel realized how weak his attacks were, so he quickly adjusted himself by lighting the “fireball” spell on the tip of his sword . One by one, he started blasting at his enemies .
While Abel was clearing the wave of fallen in front of him, Rib Bone no . 3 was having a bit of a problem . It tried to block one of the spears with its shield, but as the golden spear made contact, a spark of lighting was conducted towards its body .
Rib Bone no . 3 stopped defending immediately . As the electronic shock was too strong for it to handle, the enemies could almost completely destroy it with no resistance at all .
As Rib Bone no . 3 went down, no . 1 and no . 2 were left with more pressure against their defense . Abel was firing his fireball one at a time . It wasn’t like he was slow at taking down the dark hunters and corrupt spearwomen, but every time he shot at them, the golden corrupt spearwoman would find a chance to struck another spear at him .
“Cooling enhancement, Rib Bones!”
The golden corrupt spearwoman came out again . It was trying to interrupt Abel’s attack with another corrupt spearwoman in front . As it stabbed towards Rib Bone no . 2, it let out a terrible shriek .
Rib Bone no . 1 had a basic level of intelligence . After receiving orders from its master, it released a wave of blue ripples with its body as the center . Almost instantly, all the surrounding fallen slowed down their movements because frost started forming out of their body .
Even the golden corrupt spearwoman couldn’t escape it . As blue lights glowed from its body, Abel quickly killed the regular spearwoman in front of it with two fireballs . Once its meatshield was out of the way, he’s finally had a clear shot at it . visit our L istnovel . com
Abel released an “iceball” from the tip of his blade . Just when the golden corrupt spearwoman was about to regain its speed, the iceball quickly trapped it for a second time . In the next two seconds, Abel shot about seven fireballs at it . He was very short on mana at this point .
Abel didn’t do his calculation right at the start of this combat . The “charged bolts” didn’t have the effects that he thought they would have . If it wasn’t for this, he wouldn’t have to use up all his mana to use his fireball .
The golden armor of the spearwoman was starting to turn black . It was starting to move a lot slower . However, Abel couldn’t take much of this advantage . He was short on mana . When he went in to deliver the killing blow with his blade, Rib Bone no . 2 came before him to slash at the corrupt spearwoman .
Another strike on its body . After letting out an excruciating scream, white light started flashing out of its body . It’s almost like if it was being burnt alive .
“Move back, Rib Bone!” Abel screamed . Since Black Wind’s mind was already connected to his, it was jumping back way before the Rib Bones did .
After hearing Abel’s call, Rob Bone no . 1 quickly covered its body with ice . No . 2 wasn’t doing anything in response, though .
Actually, the one thing No . 2 did was to keep swinging the sword in its hand . Before the blade made contact with the golden corrupt spearwoman, the spearwoman started exploding from the inside out . And as this was happening, an electric ripple wave blasted out with its body as the center .
Rib Bone No . 2 was the first to be affected by electric shock . With the lightning zapping through its icy cold armor, its body shattered on the spot, leaving all the gears, shield, and sword dropping on the ground .
Rib Bone No . 1 did manage to neglect some of this lightning attack . However, it was also knocked down by the lighting ripple wave . If Black Wind didn’t jump back on time and let the lightning swept underneath its feet, it would’ve also suffered the same consequences .
“Lightning Enhancement!” Abel said softly . Right now, he was very certain that the golden corrupt spearwoman was buffed with lightning . When such a creature came to be, not only would all its attacks be strengthened with the element of lightning, it would also be highly resistant against lightning attacks . If it was in a group, it could buff the surrounding units to become lightning-resistant .
When fallen like these were on the brink of death, it would use the very dangerous, radioactive spell “newborn star” to bring down all its surrounding enemies .
Just now, Rib Bone No . 1 stood up from the ground . While it was still shaking because of that lightning attack, it wasn’t quite dead yet . As long as it wasn’t dead, it could still generate to its best condition using its frighteningly-fast regenerative ability .
There weren’t a lot of dark hunters and corrupt spearwomen left on the battlefield . Without the golden corrupt spearwoman to lead them, they would lose all advantage with their stats .
Abel managed to finish the fight fairly smoothly after the mini-boss was defeated . When all the enemies were cleared off, he jumped down from Black Wind and came to the spot where the golden corrupt spearwoman died .
By this point, the golden corrupt spearwoman’s armor plate was already blown into pieces . The only thing Abel was able to recover was the spear that it was using . Even so, there wasn’t anything special about the spear . It was old, rusty, and had no special effects on it whatsoever .
Abel shook his head in disappointment . As it turned out, it wasn’t easy to find dark gold weapons in the dark world . Forget about regular fallen; if he couldn’t find any valuable loots from golden rank mini-bosses, there really wasn’t much hope for him to find a lot of the good stuff .
While Abel was signing to himself, Black Wind started digging on the ground somewhere around ten meters from him . It then barked towards Abel’s .
“You found something, Black Wind?”
Black Wind had a very keen sense of smell . Even the most unnoticeable scent could be caught by its nose . After all, a mount wolf’s nose was the best tool to find something that didn’t belong to the environment that it was in .
Abel quickly walked to where Black Wind was at . There was a snapped finger among the bushes on the ground . When Abel looked closer, he could see a grey ring on it .
Abel lowered his body to pick up the ring . He picked up the finger and carefully removed the ring off it . The ring was kind of grey was because of how dusty it was . Also, because of how dirty its owner was, there was also a layer of filth on its surface .
After cleaning the ring with some water cloth he had in the portal bag, Abel began to see the real form of this ring . The center of it was an unknown blue gem, and the ring itself was silver with thin engravings of flowers on it .
Abel then scanned the ring with his Horadric Cube:
Silver Bat’s ring
+73 attack precision
3% mana could be stolen from an attack
So this was a mana-sucking ring . Unfortunately for Abel, his attack point wasn’t quite high yet . He would have to attack several times before he could make some use of the 3% mana stealing effect . Overall, it was better nothing . At least he’s got himself his first blue equipment
Attack precision was very important in arrow shooting . Using the ring and Raven’s claw together would make a deadly combination .
After resuming the skeletons from two random corpses he’s found, Abel helped them to get into their armies and shields . Since the power of the skeletons was at rank four, the summoned Rib Bones no . 2 and no . 3 were durable the withhold the mass of regular gears . As for the better gears Abel had since even he himself wasn’t good enough to wear them, there was just no way he could let the skeletons try them out .
It had been about seven or eight days since Abel came to the dark world . It was now time to head home . That being said, Abel wasn’t going to let the skeletons stay here like last time . Unlike Bloor Moor, the Cold Plain wasn’t quite “cleansed” yet . Letting the skeletons fight the fallen here was the same as sending them to die without making them any stronger . Abel didn’t want to let Rib Bone no . 1 to be destroyed without any purpose . Besides, its ability to freeze multiple enemies was just too convenient for him to let go of .
After teleporting himself back to the Rogue’s Encampment, the first thing that Abel did was to check on his Horadric Cube . There were about eleven bottles of the soul enhancement potion inside . He took one out and threw it at Rib Bone no . 1, which was his no . 1 target to buff .
After catching the bottle of the soul enhancement potion, Rib Bone no . 1 cracked the bottle on top of its head . As the dark gold liquid poured into its skull, the soul flame burning in its eyes began to spark brighter . Its bones were also growing thicker . Eventually, the whiteness of this skeleton became almost like white jade . It looked pure, like an art piece, and not the scary, spooky skeleton that it was .
