Chapter 146
It worked . The Akara’s tent was connected with Abel’s power of the Will . And along with that, Abel managed to learn how to control the canvas itself . He tapped on one of the support points of the tent, and it quickly contracted itself like an umbrella . It was too big for him to pack it up before, but now he could hold it in his own hands .
Abel wanted to wrap up the tent with his power of the Will . He tried to put it inside the Kong Kong spiritual beast bag, but the bag didn’t show any reaction . He tried the private storage box instead, and the tent quickly went in .
Abel got a little surprised . He didn’t expect the Akara’s tent to be packed up so easily . Not only was it big, but it also contained a lot of various items . Since he couldn’t go inside the Kong Kong spiritual beast bag, he didn’t know how big that was . Yet, he did spend a lot of time inside the Akara’s tent himself, so he knew how spacious it was .
Just to be sure, Abel took out the Akara’s tent again and activated it with his mana . Soon, the tent slowly opened itself up . As he went in, he noticed that everything was the same as before . The private storage box had nothing to do with what happens inside the tent .
Instead of closing up the tent again, Abel decided to walk towards the rest spot that he built . While sitting on the chair that was made of ambergris timber, he took out his sheep parchment scroll and started reading about the “frozen armor” spell .
Since he had a similar experience with the “fireball” spell, Abel managed to figure out how to draw the runes for “frozen armor” in just eight days . While the initial activation time for fireball was two minutes, it was three minutes for the frozen armor spell . This was because the frozen armor spell was more complicated than the fireball spell .
After finishing with the rune drawing, Abel began to chant out in the noble tongue of the elves, “O the Ice elf! Use your divine power to weave a pure white armor around me!”
As he spoke, the rune pattern he drew started glowing in white . The Horadric Cube on his right arm started reflecting a dark gold light, which somehow made the rune pattern larger than it originally was . Eventually, an armor glowing in frost appeared around Abel’s body .
Watching as the Horadric Cube glowed in dark gold light, Abel felt like his effort was worth it . The frozen armor rune pattern he drew was recognized by the Horadric Cube . After spending eight days on it, his work finally paid off .

After Abel finished reading the skill description, the frozen armor on him exploded and vanished in the air .
Abel tried to draw a frozen armor pattern again . As he lifted his finger in the air, the skill tree in his Horadric Cube was being activated . Suddenly, a voice came to ask him inside his head, “Do you want to activate your “frozen armor” spell with your skill tree?”
“Yes,” Abel thought, and a complete rune pattern suddenly appeared in his right hand . Without even doing the enchantments, the rune pattern started sucking mana out of him on its own, and soon, a set of frozen armor appeared around his body .
Abel felt safe as the chilling sensation of the “frozen armor” surrounded him . He’s finally got a defensive spell of his own . While it was only effective in close-range combat, he didn’t think that long-range attacks would do a lot of damage to him . He was an intermediate knight, after all . Besides, he could use golden combat qi . Sure, even if regular long-range attacks would be a threat to him, he could always take out his magic shield from his portal bag .
There was a downturn in using the frozen armor, however . Its mana cost was way too high, at about seven points in less than two minutes . If Akara could be resurrected after all these years, he would love her to make some blue-quality mana potions for him to use .
If only the hell creatures outside had their own potions . That’d be so nice, Abel thought . As long as he could loot enough potions from the fallen, he could practice his spells as much as he liked to . As dangerous as that might be, it sounded like a much better choice than to study alone inside his lab .
From his calculation, Abel could tell that he had two more days left . Because of how fast his body was growing due to puberty, he could no longer fit inside his blue armor .
Abel stayed at Rogue’s Encampment every night . While his body would revert back to its original state when he left the dark world, the strain his body received during training would stay . As a result, not only was he starting to get a bigger appetite every single day, but he was also starting to grow at a much faster rate .
The blue armor was originally 1 . 7 to 1 . 8 meters tall . Since Abel was about 1 . 9 meters tall now, he became oversized for it . That being said, it was good to have the “frozen armor” spell instead of making new armor according to his new body size . The next time he was making his own armor, so he thought he would have to wait for his body to stop getting taller first .
So far, the only equipment Abel could use as a shield, an ice magic sword, and a knight’s lance that could bump his enemies away . As he realized that he had no way to launch a long-range attack, he took out his Harry Bow .
Ever since Abel became a knight, he had hardly used the Harry bow at all . Although it was strong enough to kill both beginner and intermediate knights instantaneously, he was already strong enough to take on advanced knights in a one-on-one fight . While the Harry Bow did kill about a hundred or so worgens before, it was not a very useful tool now . Apart from drawing his enemies to him, there really wasn’t any use for it .
As a knight, having a good sword, a shield, a knight lance, and a good bow were important . Yet, even as a master blacksmith, Abel was afraid that he couldn’t find a suitable bow for himself . For someone as strong him, he would need a super sturdy bow–one that could satisfy his 4,000-pound strength .
As he contemplated to himself, Abel walked into the Bloor Moor once more . This time, he decided that he wouldn’t wear any armor . To stop the quill rats from ambushing him, he had to detect them first with his power of the Will, which, at his current level, had a range as far as 16 meters in radius . If the enemies were outside the 16-meter radius, he would have to depend on his fight instinct as an intermediate knight .
Abel really wanted to become an advanced knight now . After fighting some elite knights himself, he knew how much keener their sense of danger as compared to intermediate knights . If he managed to become an advanced knight himself, he would have a much higher survival rate inside the Bloor Moor that he was in now .
Noo! As he concentrated on his power of the Will, Abel could tell that a thorn was shot towards him . He quickly picked up his magic shield, which made the flying thorn bounced off it . He stuck his ice magic sword in the ground, lifted his finger, and launched a fireball towards a quill rat that was about twenty meters away from him .
The mouse gave a terrible shriek when it was hit . Yet, in Abel’s view, the wound was not very serious . In fact, as the quill rat was just about to be burnt to its death, a blue light flashed across it and quickly extinguished the flames .
