Abe the Wizard

Chapter 799: Mystery Sanctuary (Three in One)

The Legendary summoner, Horazon, had set up a secret below the palace and ordered large amounts of demons to help him guard the place where Abel was heading.

He carefully appeared within the portal door with the spirit guardian knights by his side and that ‘mud monster’ guarding in front.

He arrived at a little platform.
There was a passage of stairs opposite the portal door.
There was nothing beyond the platform, only stars sparkling in the sky.

Abel was sure he would fall into a void of no return if he jumped off the platform.

He followed the stairs down and arrived at a bigger square platform with a little teleportation station.

He took out 2 perfect gems and placed them on.
He then ignited the station with his power of will.
White light flashed.
The 2 perfect gems had more than enough energy to support the station.

Then, Abel could teleport back to Lut Gholein any time he wanted.

There was a passage on the platform’s 4 sides, and the outside was filled with the void.

The mystery dimension was built in the void.
Since Hell had penetrated the cellar of the palace through a portal door, this place was filled with Hell Creatures at one point.

There could only be one passage that led to Horazon’s place, but Abel didn’t know the way.
He could only pick a random one and try.

He flashed in front of one of the passages.
Although the void around looked scary, at the same time, it could limit the attack of hell creatures.
The passage’s width could only allow 2 hell creatures to pass through, so he had some guarantee of his safety.

As he made his way forward, he ran into his first batch of hell creatures.
They were known as the hell clan.

The hell clan was known for the physical attacks, which limited their ability to grasp elemental attacks.
Still, their power should not be undermined.

Luckily, Abel’s firewall was effective.
The tens of them that rushed forwards were stopped by the spirit guardian knights and burned to death.

Since the 2 spirit guardian knights at the front only needed to fight with 2 hell clan creatures at once, wiping them out was like a walk in the park.

The hell clan’s weapon was a sickle.
No one used this in the Holy Continent, but its surface was filled with rust since this place was contaminated by hell.
There was no more value to those sickles.

Other than a soul, there was not much more you could give to those hell clans.

Abel kept moving forward, and he arrived at another platform.
The spirit guardian knights flashed towards it, and short spikes suddenly emerged from below.

Luckily, it was the spirit guardian knight who triggered this trap.
Although it had given it a little damage, it was not enough to immobilize it.

If Abel triggered the trap, Black Wind would definitely get hurt even with so many healing potions.

It made his spin shiver just by thinking about being penetrated by a spike like that.

He carefully examined the floor.
Those spikes only came from the area with little holes.
The smooth surface areas were clear.

As Abel continued forwards, a group of Wraiths suddenly flew out from the void.

They were a type of spirit that could absorb mana.
The spirit guardian knights held up their iron shields, but those wraiths just flew past them.
‘Physical attack useless.’ It was a special state of being common to spirit-like hell creatures.

However, a wizard with a powerful shield like Abel was their nightmare.
He could not let those wraiths get close to him.
Once they did, his mana would be sucked dry.

The most effective spell on spirits was lightning spells.
‘Chain of lightning’ spells flashed on both Abel’s sword, and shield and 2 strikes of lightning shot out towards the wraiths.

The wraiths screamed.
Normal people’s souls would definitely be damaged by it, but not a powerful one like Abel’s.

Soul attacks were some of the hardest attacks to block, just like those screams.

However, the only one with a soul on the spot was Abel.
Both the spirit guardian knights and the mud monster were summoned.
They were bound by the soul of Abel.
As long as Abel’s soul was fine, they would be fine.

Since those wraiths’ attribute could not do much to Abel, their lives were soon taken by the chain of lightning and scattered into sparkles.
Afterward, their souls were sucked into the Horadric Cube.

Abel did not move in a flash in this place.
The void around him made him feel confident with each step.
He kept scanning the condition hundreds of meters forward.
It was still the safest on Black Wind, with those spirit guardian knights guarding at the front.

He killed more hell clan and arrived at another platform.
As soon as those spirit guardian knights stepped on it, a strike of lightning shot out.

That lightning was too fast.
Although Abel’s intuition had alerted him, lightning spells were known for their speed.
They were not confined by logic.
After it landed on the spirit guardian knights, it did not stop.
Instead, it kept speeding towards Abel.

Although his Ancient Pledge shield had counteracted a part of the damage, the lightning still gave his body a wave of numbness.
He began to twitch.

A burnt smell emerged from his body.
Although the damage was done, his body was numbed.
His brain could not register the pain all of a sudden.

His Druid soul emptied out a purple full recovery potion from his belt a second after the shock, and all the scars on his body vanished.

Although he was still numbed, after a few more seconds, he was returned to top condition.

“Damn, lightning spiral trigger!” Abel mumbled.
He needed to be fast to get close to it as soon as possible and destroy it.

Going at it straight on was not a way to go.
His Druid soul had already used a few bottles of full recovery potion on those spirit guardian knights in such a short period of time.

‘Move in a flash,’ he wrapped his 8 spirit guardian knights and the mud monster with his power of the will and appeared on the platform.

Just as he expected, a pole glowing in lightning arcs was standing on the corner.
The crystal ball on it was replenishing energy.
Once it was filled up again, it would unleash another lightning strike.
However, Abel had already ordered his spirit guardian knights to flash next to the crystal ball and struck down with their swords.

Suddenly, a wave of lightning shot out from all sides of the crystal ball.
Although it only had a range of 5 meters, all the spirit guardian knights were struck.

Their movements slowed down.
The numbness was unavoidable, but the lightning spiral needed time to replenish energy with each strike.

This thing was a trigger, after all.
Its crystal ball needed could not unleash continuous attacks, which gave the spirit guardian knights a chance,

Naga threw out its green balls and engulfed the crystal ball with poisonous gas.
However, it did not do damage.
It made sense.
How could a machine be damaged by poison?

Abel unleashed a strike of lighting towards it, but the result was the same.

Since the thing was resistant to both lightning and poison, Abel quickly followed up with a Firewall.

The crystal ball in the lightning spiral was shattered, and the glow on its surface faded, leaving an empty pole.

As the spirit guardian knights continued to attack, he arrived by the side of the damaged lightning spiral and began to carefully investigate the trigger.

There were many obviously hell style patterns on the surface.
Although Abel couldn’t understand what they meant, he knew they formed the main magic circle.

At the same time, he also realized that the crystal ball looking thing was not an actual crystal ball but an energy ignition point for the magic circle.

Once it was destroyed, the lighting spiral could no longer generate energy.

As Abel kept looking, he noticed countless yellow gems supported the thing.
He tried to communicate with the magic circle through his power of the will and see if he could become its master, but he realized it already had a master.
Unless he killed its original master, he could not become its master.

The lightning spiral pole was 3 meters tall.
It was not fixed to the ground.
Instead, it was locked down with its own energy.
Since its energy was depleted, it stopped operating.

Abel could easily lift the thing off the ground and store it away in his portal objects.
As long as the lightning spiral could recognize him as a master, this trigger could become his defense.
The power of this thing was scary.
He could not fully counteract it even with his lightning resistance.

Abel was happy to get a lightning spiral nevertheless.
Although he could not use it now, he would be able to become the master of this thing after killing Horazon.

He continued forward, and tens of fireballs flew towards the spirit guardian knights.
The first thing they did was get into a perfect defensive position.
With their ancient pledge shields as well as their fire resistance.
Tens of fireballs only taken half the life from them.

Those hell creatures could not unleash a mass attack on those spirit guardian knights due to the narrow passage.
Even those skilled in long distance attack could not unleash their full potential in this environment.

The following hell creatures were Ghoul Lords.
They had fire attributes, and their fire attacks were quite good.
They were also resistant to ice spell attacks.

The best way to fight those Ghoul Lords was to get close to them since they could only cast long range spells.

The spirit guardian knights flashed next to them, and Abel followed.
Since the spirit guardian knights had counteracted the fireballs, Abel had already drawn out a chain of lightning spell on both his weapons.

This passage was like a big simple maze.
Afterward, Abel continued to move forward, following a branch on the left.
Although he ran into some more lightning spiral triggers, they all ended up in his collection at last.

Abel battled tens of rounds every day.
He was quick, and just like that, 10 days had passed in the Holy Continent.

At the end of the passage was another platform.
This platform did not look too different from the other ones.
It only had a box in the center.
Abel had picked the wrong passage.
This one was not where Horazon was.

He sighed.
He murdered his way back on the other side of the passage.
He had only done this to collect more lightning spirals.

Killing hell creatures could give him souls, and this time he had gotten even more lightning spirals.
This made Abel very happy, but still, it had taken him another 10 days of Holy Continent time to return to the little teleportation station.

Abel had gotten 40 towers of lightning spirals.
They were very powerful, but he could not identify the materials.
He had to scrap his idea of replicating them.

Unless he got the metallurgy formula for those lightning spiral’s material, there was no way he could recreate them, let alone studying the patterns on the surface.

Still, the 40 lightning spirals had already dramatically increased his defense.
Even elite priests would take a big hit if they were not careful.

9 months had passed in the Holy Continent.
Abel had been stuck at the rank 11 bottleneck for a month.
All this time, he was busy fighting; he did not feel a single intention to level up.

The atmosphere in the Holy Continent was also growing tense.
The harvesting season had arrived, but all the duchies were met with disappointment once again.
Their crops had a dramatic decrease this season as well.

Everyone knew they would have a hard time making it through winter if they didn’t have enough food in their storage.
Unlike the summer, they could not make up for their lack of crops with other plants.

The only hope in winter was the food in storage since the crops could not grow in winter.

Paranoia began to build among the people.
Food had become the Holy Continent’s biggest problem, but this was not of Abel’s concern.
He was still busy ceiling out those hell creatures in that mysterious sanctuary.
He needed to find Horazon.

Abel felt like his luck was going downhill lately.
He had searched through 3 passages, and all of them were wrong.
The last one should be where Horazon was.

This passage was not connected.
Instead, it was disjointed with a red glowing teleportation door at the end.

He let his mud monster go first since it was the weakest of the bunch.
The only purpose it had was to slow down his enemies and act as a shield.

Abel wouldn’t go into these red glowing teleportation doors without testing it first.
Those things had been around for tens of thousands of years.
If it was damaged a single bit, he might get sent directly to the void.

He had grown familiar with the hell creatures here, so they were no longer much of a threat.
As for these teleportation doors, he had the mud monster for testing.

His soul could monitor the condition of the mud monster.
He would only go into those teleportation doors once he confirmed the mud monster had landed.

Abel had gathered more and more lightning spirals along the way and passed through countless red glowing teleportation doors.
Finally, Abel saw a giant platform emerging.

In order to get on the platform, he needed to pass through a few flights of stairs and a narrow passage.
Safety first.
He trailed behind the spirit guardian knights.

The moment the first spirit guardian knight stepped off the stairs, a stream of long ice crystals flew towards his ancient pledge shield.
It entered the Horazon’s attack range, and its ice resistance could not counteract those ice crystals.

The spirit guardian knight froze up immediately on the spot.
If its body was not a few times stronger than human, those ice crystals might have already blasted it into pieces.

Still, Abel’s Druid soul still needed to inject 2 full recovery potions for that spirit guardian knight to counteract the attack.

Seeing what happened, Abel knew it was best to fight Horazon at a close range.
For a powerful wizard, especially one that was a dark gold boss from hell, just it’s life points alone was a few times more than Abel, let alone the power of its spell attacks.

Abel flashed with the frozen up spirit guardian knight, the other 7 spirit guardian knights, and the mud monster towards the top of the platform.

Before he even got a good glimpse of the situation, countless hell clans dashed towards him, and Ghoul lords were throwing fireballs.

Abel blocked with his ancient pledge shield and swapped the iron sword on his right to a magic staff.
In the Dark World field with elemental attacks, the ancient pledge shield could be a life saver.

With so many full recovery potions, he would be fine as long as he didn’t die with one strike.

Abel sensed all kinds of threats on the platform.
He had maintained a ‘move in a flash’ spell pattern, even holding up the shield.
As fireballs flew towards him, he flashed away.

He and his summons reappeared in the middle of those Ghoul Lords, and the most powerful spirit guardian knight captain appeared next to Horazon.

After the hell clans had missed their attacks, they quickly dash towards Abel again.
But by that point, Abel’s power was already fully ignited without a long distance threat.

The spirit guardian knights annihilated those hell creatures with Abel spells as the main attack.

After practice for 3 months in the Holy Continent, all the spells Abel learned had reached the pinnacle of their power.

He advanced among the Ghoul Lords on Black Wind.
Those thing’s power would dramatically decrease in close range combat.

Abel also had a broken ice armor and a full set of rune word defense gear.
The close-range attack of those Ghoul Lords could not do anything to him.

With the chain of lightning spell pattern flashing on his Ancient pledge shield, a strike of lightning speeded towards the clan, and 9 of them were numbed on the spot.

Since the first line of the hell clan came to a halt, their fellows needed to push them over or dodge.

Pushing them over was a very bad decision.
The reason they were numbed was that the lightning attribute maintained its power on their body.
You would get numb as well if you touched them.

The ones who dodged also could not escape because the second strike of lightning had arrived.

Abel did not let his right hand rest.
Instead, a lightning ‘Nova’ spell pattern appeared on his Iron Sword and engulfed all the Ghoul Lords 10 meters from him in the lightning glow.

Although the attack power of this spell was not strong, it’s speed was immaculate.
He had cast 2 of them without break, sending those Ghoul Lords into wobble along with a numbing effect.

It was not that Abel didn’t want to use the more powerful ‘Frost Nova,’ but those Ghoul Lords were ice resistant, and that spell could only use the ice attribute to slow down surrounding enemies.

With his unmatched spell casting speed, hell creatures kept dropping dead on the platform.
The only one left standing was Horazon.

Horazon began to unleash its most powerful fire spells.
Giant fireballs kept blasting open on the spirit guardian knight captain.

After using large amounts of soul potions and ability potions, the spirit guardian knight captain had reached the pinnacle of ‘skeleton resurrection’ and ‘skeleton support.’ It was the most powerful spirit guardian knight of the bunch.

With the Druid soul kept injecting it with light healing potion, it could counteract Horazon’s attacks.
But only at a close range.

Horazon only had a 1/3 success rate in spell casting during close range battle, and an aura ‘extra damage’ curse emerged above it.

Every time the spirit guardian knight captain struck, Horazon’s spell casting was affected.
It wanted to drag the distance, but it was only a wizard, one that could not flash away.

Maybe it had lost the ability to do lightning spells after it entered hell.
The only 2 attributes that remained were fire and ice.
Although both of those attributes had been enchanted, it had lost the most important lifesaver of a wizard.

In the face of someone who could flash like the spirit guardian knight captain, there was no way it could escape.

After all the hell creatures had dropped dead, the other 7 spirit guardian knights surrounded Horazon.
With the mud monster standing nearby, Horazon could no longer cast spells properly.

Abel had a déjà vu.
He, too, had been in a situation where his spells casting kept getting disrupted.
Horazon kept shaking, but it did not have a good mount who could flash away like Abel.

Abel added a strike of lightning to its pain.
It was helpless.
Even the corrosion of hell’s scary energy had made Horazon a little sluggish.
It still felt a flash of horror before it’s death.

Horazon let out a scream.
He regretted choosing hell.
It had given him an immortal body, but hell had betrayed him, betrayed this world.

Finally, he died helplessly.
Since hell was no longer controlling this world, it could no longer revive.

In its last moments, before Horazon dropped dead, his eyes was still filled with the desire for this world.

Abel was also not satisfied.
Horazon had only given him a soul.
No gold energy had entered his Horadric Cube, which meant no ‘ability potion.’

He had spent all these months to find this dark gold boss, so how come it had nothing on it?

Abel irritatedly stepped up and flipped the dead body of Horazon over with his iron sword.
Suddenly, he noticed some strands of dark gold lightning arcs sifting on Horazon’s cape.

Normally the gear of hell creatures would show its true form when the hell creature died.

But this cape maintained a mysterious dark gold energy.
Abel suddenly felt a spark of excitement.

It was a dark gold cape.
Only a dark gold cape could have a colorful glow like this.

He carefully took the cape from Horazon.
As soon as the cape left Horazon’s body, it began to glow in dark gold.
All of a sudden, the dirt and filth contaminated by hell creatures on it had faded.

What appeared n Abel’s hand was a leather armor.
A dark gold leather armor.
