Chapter 236: 236
Chapter 236 Cancel Summoning
So that’s why not a lot of humans knew about the Elven perfume . Because of how strong its smell was, most of them would faint as soon as they get in touch with it . In terms of mentality, elves were generally stronger than humans, and that’s why they were able to enjoy it with a clear mind .
Abel spent the whole day making more potions . He didn’t do anything else until he had used up half of the ingredients . After he was done, he took the other half and left them inside Akara’s tent .
It was getting late . As Abel came to his room, he sat on the floor, piled with meditation, and began his daily meditation practice . He took out his magic circle and activated it with an intermediate magic gemstone .
Before he’s even started his meditation, Abel could feel endless waves of mana drawing towards him from all angles . In fact, it was so abundant that they existed in physical forms, like tidal waves that were moving about . He was like a small island in the midst of the ocean, and the waves just kept hitting his body .
Abel took out a fresh crystal core from his private storage box and threw it into his own mouth . There were eight fresh crystal cores left . He had access to the entire squad’s supply, but he still couldn’t get enough of it over the past few days .
Luckily for him, the progress he was making with his meditation was actually quite fast . As he did some math after his session, he figured that if he had 30 fresh crystal cores, and was doing his training in a mana-filled environment like this area, he could rank up in a very short amount of time . If he did one meditation session a day, he could become a rank four wizard by next month .
Abel really wanted to stay in the Double Moon Forest now . There were plenty of fresh crystal cores over there . Also, when he did become an official wizard, he might just build a magic tower inside the Dark World . As dangerous as that sounded, the mana here was just so much thicker than the other places .
The next morning, Abel rode Black Wind to teleport at a waypoint . He wanted to bring Black Wind with him to the Cold Plain, which was the one location he could travel via the waypoint .
And here they were . Black Wind wasn’t quite used to the cold at the Cold Plain, so as soon as they arrived, it started scratching its nose with its paws .
“Let’s go find Rib Bone, Black Wind!” Abel shouted as loudly as he could . He wanted to relieve the stress that he had piled up in the Dark World .
Inside Bloor Moor, there were two armored knights standing next to each other . They had swords in their right and a shield in their left . Every time they fought, they performed their moves like properly trained knights . If no one had said so, it would be very hard to tell that they were skeletons summoned from another world .
As blue light began to flash out of Rib Bone no . 1’s body, about ten or so fallen began to slow down their attacks . These fallen had just lost the chance to protect their master, the fallen shaman, who was too busy reviving the defeated fallen .
So Rib Bone no . 1 was responsible for fighting off the fallen, and Rib Bone no . 2 was responsible for finishing the fight . After being strengthened by the “powered potion,” no . 1 became much stronger than no . 2 . While no . 2 was trying to hold down the fallen shaman, no . 1 had already killed most of the summoned fallens .
While the two skeletons were in the middle of a bloodbath, a “charged bolt” was fired from over the distance . As it landed on the ground, a zapping sound came and knocked down all the remaining fallen . After that, a bunch of dark shadows flew towards the Horadric Cube inside Abel’s hand .
“Rib Bone!” Abel called out as all the fallen have been defeated . After hearing Abel, Rib Bone no . 1 ran towards him and stopped beside Black Wind . It was like a servant welcoming its master’s return .
Rib Bone no . 2 was a different case . Since there weren’t any enemies left, it just stood there without doing anything . As it turned out, the “power potion” and the “soul enhancing potion” collected from the corpsefire could strengthen not just the thickness of a skeleton’s bones, but also how intelligent its mind was .
Whether it was its fight capability or its intelligence, Rib Bone no . 1 was performing much better than Rib Bone no . 2 . Theoretically speaking, there shouldn’t be a difference between the two . That, however, has changed .
Abel had left Rib Bone no . 1 and no . 2 inside Bloor Moor this entire time . Eight days had passed in the outside world, which meant that 160 days have passed since they were last summoned . After fighting so long without taking any rest, his “resurrection of skeletons” spell was now upgraded to rank four . The improvements were shown like this:
Resurrection of skeletons

Judging from the attribute that Rib Bone was given, it’s defensive ability had far surpassed Abel without his combat qi armor . And it’s wasn’t just defensive ability against physical attacks . Rib Bone was very resistant against magic, too . In terms of offensive capability, it was no different from a mini-sized knight’s head commander .
While checking the attribute of his spells, Abel noticed a cross on the icon that represented the “resurrection of skeletons” spells . Apparently, one of his skeleton summons was canceled . Would the same skeleton be summoned next time? He wasn’t actually sure of that .
He needed to experiment . Obviously, Abel wasn’t going to do anything to mess with Rib Bone no . 1 . After choosing no . 2 to be his guinea pig, Abel canceled his summoning of it in his skill tree .
Suddenly, a black hole appeared next Rib Bone no . 2 . After being sucked into another dimension, Rib Bone no . 2 disappeared from Abel’s sight .
“I forgot to take off the armor and weapons!” Abel cursed as he focused his power of Will on the skeleton icons . He didn’t actually need the corpses to call back the skeletons that were summoned .
Abell summoned a skeleton once more . As the same black hole emerged, a skeleton with sword, shield, and armor was spat out from it .
Rats! With sweat dripping down from his face, Abel looked at the Rib Bone no . 2 he just summoned . He didn’t actually have to go find the skeletons . He could just summon them to where he was at!
After canceling the summoning of the two Rib Bones, Abel rode Black Wind back the Cold Plain .
After entering the Cold Plain, Abel summoned Rib Bone no . 1 and no . 2 again . With the sword of Victory in his hands, he readied himself for the upcoming battle .
Soon later, a few hundred grey-skinned, fully-armored spearwomen charged towards Abel with their spears .
Before Abel has made any moves, Rib Bone no . 2 was already charging at the front line before him . Abel recognized them . These women used to be warriors from the Rogue’s Encampment but were turned into corrupt spearwomen after being in contact with devils .
Despite having lost their sanity, these corrupt spearwomen were still quite skilled in their attacks . They were a bigger threat than the fallen, actually . Unlike the timid fallen, surrender was not an option for them . Their sole purpose of existence was to attack, attack, and attack until all of their enemies were dead .
Rib Bone no . 2 was doing pretty well . As its sword slashed at the first spearwoman, the icing effect of its ice magic sword began to slow down her entire body’s movement . Four other spearwomen attacked while it was doing this . As it repelled the attacks with its shield, three out of the four spears were blocked, leaving one having struck it from the side .
Rib Bone no . 2 froze on the spot . Abel could see it clearly . Like all creatures from the underworld, whatever target they hit would slow down their movements . Rib Bone no . 2 was no exception . As it became slower and slower, it just eventually stopped moving .
Within an instance, more spears penetrated through Rib Bone no . 1’s body . It paused even more after each attack, and eventually, it just stopped making any defensive movement . It just became a sandbag . After a few mere seconds, it was crushed into a bunch of ashes, and all the magic armor, shield, and sword it equipped fell on the ground .
