Abe the Wizard - Chapter 244

Chapter 244: 244

Chapter 244 A Statue

Whilst putting the Raven’s claws away, Abel jumped on top of Black Wind’s back . He didn’t want to leave Black Wind when he was fighting on the ground . Black Wind’s “instant movement” could be very important for his survival .

When Black Wind was about ten meters away from the cavern that’s been blown up, it made its landing and prepared for entrance .

Abel tried to detect any living creatures inside the valley . He then summoned Rib Bone no . 1, no . 2 and no . 3 . Under no . 1’s instructions, no . 2 and no . 3 followed towards the giant pit inside the cavern . Since Abel wasn’t planning to spare anyone, he decided that it was fine to call the skeletons out in the open .

Since skeletons didn’t use eyes to see, they just needed to use their soul flames to follow Abel . They were perfect for fighting in the dark, actually . Since skeletons were naturally sensitive towards any living beings, it’s very likely that they would find the surviving deurgars .

After entering the dark pit for about several minutes, Abel did not sense his two skeletons being attacked . He couldn’t sense anything that was alive, either . While riding Black Wind towards the entrance to the cavern, he used his sword to pick away the giant boulder that was blocking his way .

Abel hung his night pearl across his neck . He had his shield in his left and his sword in his right . As soon as he entered the cavern, he started seeing several dead deurgars that were killed by the falling rocks . They were all wearing iron armors, but the impact must’ve been strong enough to kill them in an instant .

Abel took a few more steps forward . There was a giant hall room inside, which had about two hundred meters in diameter . The ground was filled with falling rubble, filled with the corpses of the deurgars .

Most of the deurgars did not have any injuries on their bodies . They did, however, had a lot of dark grey blood around their noses, mouths, ears, and eyes . They were probably killed by the sound of the explosion . It’s much better than bleeding out to death, actually .

Abel looked around the entire structure . Since the cavern was carved out of the mountain rocks, it was strong enough to endure the impact of the super exploding ball . The explosion didn’t punch out the walls . If anything, the walls were trapping the explosion and making it more concentrated in certain areas .

Even now, Rib Bone no . 2 and no . 3 hadn’t found any living beings . This didn’t remain for too long, though . Just when Abel was about to declare an end to his mission, the two skeletons started sending signals to him .

Abel rode Black Wind to where the two skeletons were . They were in front of a stone room, which was blocked by a giant stone door . It was the first time that Abel had seen a stone door here .

The door must’ve been what was keeping the remaining deurgars alive . Abel started pushing it with his hands . As he tensed up his muscles, a small gap began to open . Without even receiving their master’s orders, Rib Bone no . 2 and no . 3 started charging inside .

The two skeletons were already fighting when the stone door was completely opened . Abel could feel some very powerful spells when he was trying to make his entrance . Apparently, there was a duergar official wizard inside .

While Abel was contemplating if he should make a direct assault, a terrible scream came from inside the room . A power wave of mana appeared soon after .

Rib Bone no . 2 and no . 3 started losing contact . As far as Abel knew, the two minions died after fulfilling their roles . The duergar wizard probably underestimated how tough these skeletons were .

“If that’s the case,” a cold smile appeared from Abel’s face . He ran towards some duergar corpses that were lying outside the stone door . After casting his “summoning of skeletons” spell, two new skeletons stood up from the dying corpses . They didn’t even take their weapons when they charged inside the stone room .

“Damn orcean priest! How many of your skeletons do I have to kill?” the duergar wizard screamed .

The two new skeletons quickly lost contact . Abel didn’t feel anxious, though . For some reason that he wasn’t sure of, the duergar wizard couldn’t leave the stone room . Quickly, he found another two corpses to summon some new skeletons .

The attack was more effective this time . As the duergar wizard screamed once more, Abel could tell that one of the skeletons did deal some injury . However, the two skeletons summoned still disappeared after a few seconds .

“You are not an orc, are you? Just who are you?”

The duergar wizard figured out that something was wrong . As far as he knew, skeletons summoned by the orcs should be more aggressive than the ones he was fighting today . Strangely enough, the skeletons Abel was sending were better in their defensive abilities . This, of course, gave off some hints to the duergar wizard .

Abel didn’t reply . Instead, he instructed two skeletons to charge inside the stone room . He didn’t do any damage this time . The most that the skeletons did was to let the duergar wizard spend some more of his mana .

When Abel had sent out his tenth pair of skeletons, the duergar wizard couldn’t find a way to quickly end the fight . This time, Abel could hear the sound of runes being activated, as well as some lower-tiered spells being cast .

The duergar wizard was short on mana . Abel decided not to wait any longer . With Rib Bone no . 1 running behind him, he rode Black Wind to the stone room . As soon as he went in, Rib Bone no . 1 released ice spell into the entire area .

There it was . Abel could see the duergar wizard wearing a black robe . While his entire body was covered in frost, his mana armor was being violently knocked off by the two skeletons . While the skeletons were using their bare fists to do this, their death qi was actually very effective against mana .

Abel didn’t spare any opportunity for the duergar wizard . With his sword of Victory in hand, he thrust into the wizard’s throat . Dark grey blood poured out as he pulled back his blade . As quick as the final blow was, the wizard was, technically, exhausted to his death .

With just seconds to spare before his death, the duergar wizard took his final look at the statue behind him . Judging from his eyes, he clearly wanted to spend some more time being alive .

Before Abel was able to stab the wizard for one more time, the two skeletons were already repeatedly punching his dead body . After a few seconds, the duergar wizard started appearing as though it was dead for several days . The death qi was quite “corrosive,” if that’s the right way to express it .

Abel picked out a portal bag with the tip of his sword . As he scanned inside with his power of the Will, he did not find anything special inside . All he could find were some magic gemstones, raw materials, etc . There were a lot of them, actually, but not quite enough to make him feel surprised .

Abel walked towards the statue in front of him . Judging from the dying wizard’s expressions, he could tell how much he cared for this unsightly idol .

The idol had a snakehead and a human body, with wings growing out from its back . It might be a representation of a certain god, or an unknown mythical creature . Whatever the case was, it was not a comfortable piece to look at .

While Abel was studying the idol, a malicious aura circled around him . As immune as he became after his soul transformation, he was still quite shocked by how quickly this evil presence has surrounded him .

Abel instantly released his impose pressure . It’s the first time that he had used his strengthened impose pressure in actual combat . Oddly enough, the sound of a dragon roaring appeared from the aura that he released . It then charged straight towards the idol .

A strange sound called out in response, “No! Another one of those damn dragons! When I recover, I shall have my revenge on you!”

The idol started breaking after that . Layer by layer, the stone started shattering and falling on the ground . Soon, something fell out from where the statue’s heart was at .
