Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1307: Challenging The Ancients

Back in the Dark World, Abel was battling with some Frozen Horror in the ancient path’s cave. They were hell creatures made entirely out of ice.

Tens of Frozen Horror kept approaching Abel and his team, but Wizard Tony and Frankenstein held up with their fire spells.

As for Mad knight Bruce, Legendary knight Wale, and Half god no.1, they stood at the very front with their defense aura ignited to counteract the frozen attacks.

Behind them were 12 spirit guardian knights and 12 spirit guardian wizards. The grey bear was also there to defend.

It was a dangerous situation, and Abel did not let his guard down.

Since the Dark World always suppressed the powerful, even half god no.1 was not much stronger than legendary knight Bruce.

Abel did not summon Doff’s second body since it was too tall for the place.

With their current formation, Doff would be useless.

After countless battles, Abel was very experienced. With the spirit guardian wizards numbing his enemies and his knights slowing them down, the 3 wizards were able to finish them off.

Soon, all the Frozen horrors were finished.

It was the first time they encountered Frozen Horrors, but it still took a few full recovery potions and spirit guardian knights from Abel.

“Maintain the formation!” Abel called as he cast a few hundred more fireballs to make sure every Frozen Horror was dead.

There were no rewards he could get with those Frozen Horrors; they all turned into a pile of water once they were dead.

As the team kept making their way forward, they did not run into any more hell creatures.

Abel felt his heart lift; his experience told him he was soon approaching the exit.

Just as expected, the mouth of the cave was right in front of him after a turn.

He stepped on a long path. It was clearly built by humans from ancient times, and the approaching sunbeam was making him shiver.

When he finally made his way out, some bells sounded behind him, and the cave was shut.

Abel was at the peak of a mountain overlooking Harrogath, the highest place of the land.

He immediately knew where he was. The peak of Mount Arreat, the place the 3 ancients guarded.

There were many legends about the ancients in the Dark World; most claimed that they were gods.

But, they were wiped out long before the era of the Dark World. Abel looked around. The once-standing temple was now destroyed.

The only thing that remained was the stone podiums that signified the passage of time.

Abel stepped out onto the snow, but he could still make out the stone pavement on the ground.

He then stepped through a destroyed stone gate of the temple. The coat of arms on its surface has lost its glory long ago.

Finally, he arrived at the central shrine. There was a magic circle with 3 statues surrounding it.

Abel did not ignite the circle; instead, he walked in front of the first statue. There is a name engraved on it “Talic.”

It held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. Its muscles were so defined, each one was reflecting an immense power.

The second statue was called Madawc, which was holding a double ax.

The third was called Korlic, and it was holding a giant ax.

Abel continued to look around. Other than the stone podiums, there was no place to hide.

He then turned to the far end of the temple. There was a closed stone door filled with magic patterns.

Abel took out a long sword and heavily struck it.

It has been so many years. Perhaps he didn’t even need to fight those 3 ancients to enter.

But suddenly, a rune sparked as his sword made contact with the door.

It was the 33# Zod rune, which guaranteed its possessed object to be indestructible. This was the case even for the most fragile materials.

Abel let out a long breath. It seemed like he still had to ignite the magic circle at the central shrine.

However, he soon realized he couldn’t even ignite the thing.

If there was a problem, then he would be in big trouble. If he could no longer fight the final Diablo behind the door, he could no longer get the final piece of world stone.

“No way, I’ve tried this before!” Abel tried again, but he soon discovered something new.

Was it because of his summons?

Soul chains were a bind of another world. It could not be recognized by the shrine of the Dark World.

If he wanted to pass through, he had to put away all his summons other than the grey bear, the spirit guardian wizards, and spirit guardian knights.

So he did, and he tried again. This time, it reacted.

“We are the fallen souls, the ancients, the guardian of Mount Arreat, where the world stone is kept. There are not many of us remaining, and even less of us can comprehend. If you want to enter, you must go through us!” Suddenly, the statues sounded, and energy began to rush out from the ancient magic circle under Abel.

Golden spark began to emerge from the statue, and the 3 ancients were reawakened.

Each of them jumped down from their platform. Madawc, the one with the double ax, roared and a golden beam scattered from his body.

It was the Battlecry skill.

The other ancients also followed, and Abel immediately cast a chain of lightning towards Madawc.

With the ability of the lightning, striking one of those ancients could give damage to all of them.

But it was at that moment, Talic turned into a red flaming hurricane, and the chain of lightning passed through it like it was nothing.

It was the Barbarians’ hurricane skill, a powerful skill that could dodge any attack for a slit moment.

The other ancient, Korlic, jumped and dodged the lightning as well.

At the same time, a ghostly beam glowed from its ax.

Abel instinctively flashed away as his spirit guardian knights held up their shields.

With his knight summons, Abel could not take an attack like that head-on.

Just when he reappeared again, Madawc was recovered from the lightning and threw an ax towards him.

It was the Barbarians’ double-throw skill, and the ax would follow him no matter where he went.

It was at that moment, the grey bear appeared in front of Abel to take the hit.

Abel let out a breath of relief, but sounds of bones shattering soon emerged, and he felt something lost from his soul.

He gazed forward. Korlic had killed one of his spirit guardian knights.

The fight had only started, so Abel could not let his guard down anymore.

Although a spirit guardian knight’s attack was not strong, their defense was immense.

With the level 31 skeleton support and skeleton resurrection, as well as the rune gears, his spirit guardian knights could normally hold up under attacks of most hell creatures.

Therefore, Abel could only imagine Madawc’s power.

He then turned to Korlic, who was having a go at another spirit guardian knight. In one stroke, two-thirds of its health was taken away.

His druid soul quickly replenished a full recovery potion for it and told it to stay away.

The reason the last spirit guardian knight died was only that Abel was moving in the flash, so his druid soul couldn’t do anything.

But just when he decided to take extra precautions, he sensed the death of another 2 spirit guardian knights.

Talic’s a hurricane has just brushed against 2 spirit Guardian knights, and their shield could not hold up.

Abel saw an eerie red glow on Talic’s sword and immediately knew why.

“Damn it, fire enchantment!” Abel grunted as he saw Talic approaching the third spirit guardian knight.

There was nothing he could do since fire enchantment could basically kill him in a second.

Already, 4 spirit guardian knights were dead.

So Abel flashed away again and cast a firewall.

As his levels in the Dark World increased, the suppression on his body was also greater. He couldn’t even do double-handed spell casting. Of course, this goes for the hell creatures as well.

Abel and his comrades kept flashing to dodge. If it was not because of his grey bear, he would have taken a few hits already.

The 3 ancients worked perfectly with each other as a team—Madawc taking care of long-range attacks, Talic’s short-term burst with the hurricane, and Korlic’s jumping attacks in the mid-range.
