Abe the Wizard - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: 216

Chapter 216 Flavie

The way the corpsefire died reminded Abel of something . When he saw corpsefire dying in the game, he would always see some newbies running towards it for the loot . Next time they knew, they got blown up by its suicide attack .

With that in mind, Abel knew that he had to cover himself with something . After hiding behind a rock somewhere, the falling pieces of the corpsefire splattered across the cavern near him . When the remaining hit the wall, small holes were punched out, and a very bad stench was starting to spread . He could even see some blue frosts that were on the rocks .

“That’s a little too much, isn’t it?” Abel sighed as he said to himself . That was one explosion, but it was also a combination of a variety of attacks . If he wasn’t fast enough, he would’ve had a lot of trouble defending against that .

Suddenly, a dark shadow came and flew straight into the Horadric Cube . Abel wasn’t surprised . He knew it was the corpsefire’s soul . It was finally defeated .

He didn’t expect what’s coming next, though . After the dark shadow was absorbed, a golden essence followed and entered the Horadric Cube as well . That’s really weird . If the dark stuff was the corpsefire’s soul, just what could this golden stuff be?

Abel looked into his Horadric Cube with his power of the Will . From its inside, he could see two new potions . One of them was a dark gold “soul potion,” which, for some reason, had the corpsefire’s soul on the surface of the bottle . The other bottle was a golden potion, which had a text to it that read “ability potion . ” It was described as an ability that could be obtained randomly from a corpsefire . “Just for summoned beings,” it also said in the text .

For the “ability potion:”

The corpsefire had three abilities: spectral hit, immunity to freezing effect, and freezing enhancement . To be honest, any of them was pretty neat to Abel .

But “only for summoned beings?” Just what could that mean? Abel could only summon Rib Bone right now, and to be fair, he didn’t have a lot of confidence in trying to buff it . Since it was so weak against the hell creatures, it might be a waste to strengthen it with potions .

That being said, Rib Bone was pretty brave when it tried to block that spectral hit for Abel . After contemplating for a bit, Abel decided to give it the ability potion at the end .

One out of three . If Abel fed Rib Bone the ability potion right, it would obtain one out of three new abilities . Obviously, he wasn’t sure if he should do it now . He wasn’t very lucky today . Both Rib Bone and he almost got annihilated back there . Based on his experiences just then, maybe it’s a good idea if he waited for a few days .

Despite all that struggle in his mind, Abel took out Rib Bone from its dimension . It was having a hard time standing on its two legs, so it just fell flat right in front of Abel .

Abel felt sorry for it . It was in a state because of him, after all . Slowly and carefully, he took the ability to potion and tried to feed it . He wasn’t sure where he should pour it, though . Rib Bone was a skeleton, so it’s not like it had a mouth that could consume things .

Rib Bone seemed to know what’s going on, however . When Abel was approaching it with the ability potion, its body started closing in on his hand . It must’ve known how important this potion was . Abel wasn’t sure what to do, so he just let it sort it out itself .

When Abel passed the ability potion Rib Bone’s hand (its only hand), it just smashed the entire bottle on its own skull . The cap wasn’t even opened, and the liquid just poured down and into its entire body .

Immediately, the bones that were broken were starting to repair themselves . Even the missing arm was starting to shape itself back together .

The light that was deep inside the Den of Evil was starting to shine brighter . Eventually, everything that was in the cavern was covered in white light . Everything was starting to go bright, and all the frost and rotting smell were vanishing when they were being purified by this strange phenomenon .

Slowly but steadily, the white light started gathering up . Eventually, it became this ball of light that was floating in midair .

Abel was speechless to see this . The only thing he was thinking was to protect Rib Bone . If Rib Bone got in contact with this light, it would probably be destroyed on the spot .

Just when Abel was about to take a few steps forward, the white ball started flying straight at him . It was so fast that he didn’t even have the time to think about dodging it .

A message appeared when the ball went inside: “Congratulations, challenger . You are the only living creature inside the Den of Evil . As a reward for your efforts, you will be granted some mana points . ”

Both heaven and hell have given up on this world, but from this message, Abel could see that the existing rules were still intact . He was seen as a regular challenger, at least .

After receiving the message, Abel tried to find the light ball that was inside his mind . When he touched it with his power of the Will, he realized that it was a tool to improve the rank of his spells . It’d be a waste if he used it now, so he decided to wait until he was in a higher rank .

If there was a reward like this in the Den of Evil, there might be some other rewards that could be found in the mission map . Abel wasn’t sure what they were, but he knew he was going to try looking for them .

Abel took another look at Rib Bone . It had been ten something minutes after it took the ability potion . Not only were its injuries completely recovered, but it also looked a lot stronger now . Since he wasn’t sure what ability it got, he decided to command it with his power of the Will .

After the command was sent, a frozen armor appeared around Rib Bone . The ground around it was layered with frost . Abel was very close to it, but since summoned beings couldn’t attack their master, he didn’t take any damage from this frost .

So this was what the freezing enhancement ability could do . Abel was really happy now . The freezing enhancement was one of the four strengthening techniques amongst hell creatures, which were what separated the regular hell creatures from the elite ones .

The freezing enhancement could slow down a horde of enemies . The fire enhancement could kill anything in one shot . The poison enhancement could continuously reduce its target’s health point . Lastly, lightning enhancement could attack multiple enemies with a lightning arc .

Now that Rib Bone possessed one of these abilities, it was now one of the top elite summoned beings . Abel decided to give it the shield and the ice magic sword . With the means to attack and defend, it could now do a lot of fighting for him .

Now that the Den of Evil had been cleared, Abel took some time to walk out and head towards the Blood Moor . For the next three days, after sweeping through countless troops of hell creatures, he finally found himself another human infrastructure .

It was a wall that was made with chiseled stones . In the middle, there was a pathway that was wide enough for two chariots . This must be the end of Blood Moor because of how simple and practical its design was, it was still standing after so many years .

When Abel entered through the pathway, something caught his attention . It was a dead body that was half-buried in the ground . Despite being in a half-fossilized state, he could tell that it belonged to a female human . Strangely, the hand that was not buried was grabbing a bow .

“Flavie!” Abel called out as soon as he realized . Flavie was a rogue bowwoman . She used to do patrols between Blood Moor and the Cold Plains . Even in her death, she refused to let go of her signature weapon .

Abel said as he gave a deep bow, “O Flavie, the brave rogue archer, your loyalty has won my utmost respect . May your soul have the eternal rest that it deserves right here . ”

As though influenced by Abel’s words, Flavie’s body started eroding into a part of the earth . It’s almost like her body became one with the land that she once protected .
