Abe the Wizard - Chapter 1452

Dark flames flickered under the Throne of Destruction, almost like the place was drenched in blood.

When Abel stepped on the ground, he felt a strange warmth.

He took a night of rest before resuming his battle. There were so many oblivion knights around that it took him twelve days to kill them all.

A huge door was right in front of him, but he longer had the energy to continue.

So once again, he stood at the same place. He knew he had killed most of the Hell creatures around. The last ones were right behind this door.

The Throne of Destruction was much bigger than he had thought, and built like a maze. The Hell creatures around seemed to be affected by some strange energy and were much stronger than anything outside.

Abel’s intuition told him danger was right in front of him. Maybe it was where Baal’s servants were located.

He Summoned a mud monster and it passed the door.

The mud monster was slow, but it did not run into any Hell creatures even after a minute.

Just when Abel thought he was safe, countless lights suddenly shone down from nowhere and killed the mud monster before it could even react.

Abel felt his heart sink. He had fought with Black Souls before, but this place was special!

Beyond the door was a huge hall and there was no place to hide. Once those Black Souls gather their powerful strikes, Abel could only hope he wouldn’t be killed instantly!

He turned back to his Summons and began to plan.

How could he minimize his losses?

The Spirit Guardian Knights and wizards would be useless, since they would be killed instantly.

Even with supreme-ruler Rank Wizards supporting supreme-ruler Rank Knights, they might not be able to handle those lightning strikes.

…

He had sensed almost three hundred lightning strikes landing on the mud monster, which meant there were more than three hundred Black Souls in the hall!

It was not a game, it was life and death!

But he remembered this Hall of Black Souls from the Diablo game. Only the people with top gear could enter!

Although Abel had a great deal of Rune Word Gear, he had never gained any truly top rank items!

Am I going to be stuck here? He shook his head.

He suddenly remembered when he first entered the Dark World. He was fighting alone against Hell creatures who were much more powerful than he was.

Since when did he become so conservative in his fighting?

If he couldn’t fight against those three hundred Black Souls, how could he even fight against Baal, or even the Demon from Beyond and the Wizard Union President?

“I care too much, I need to regain my confidence!” he said to himself.

He looked over the gear he had. It was not the best, but it was still very good!

With large amounts of Full Recovery Potions on him and the fact that his health was much stronger than most wizards due to his ability to drain blood, he might have a chance.

Not to mention, he had scattered pieces of World Stone that allowed him to fight against Diablos!

—

He took a Scroll of Town Portal and arrived at Harrogate to Summon Doff’s avatar for a battle mode and commander enchantment.

He then returned to the door and added Ice Armor to himself.

Finally, he added a gray cloak to his armor. It was no ordinary cloak.

It was actually the transformed form of the supreme-ruler Rank sea turtle Ludwig’s shell, after years of alterations!

He wasn’t sure if the Cloak could endure the lightning attacks, but he was not planning to take them head on.

His heart was calm as he regained his confidence.

Afterwards, he fully activated his World Stone and his Druid Soul. With a Flash, he simultaneously cast the Nine-Headed Hydra spell!

It was controlled by his Druid Soul, and it landed where the mud monster had been killed.

In a red flare of light, a Nine-Headed Hydra was Summoned. It was a top rank wizard spell, capable of making automatic fireball attacks.

The Nine-Headed Hydra was called a hydra, but it was actually a Summoned fire creature. Once Summoned, it would keep attacking until its duration was up.

As a fire creature, its health was crazily high, but it still disappeared into a red spark after those three hundred Black Souls unleashed their lightning strikes!

At that very moment, Abel ignited his Flash without any Summons beside him. He did not believe any of his Summons could survive, but as the possessor of scattered pieces of World Stone, he could clearly see where he was going.

The Black Souls quickly turned towards him, but by that point he had Cast another Nine-Headed Hydra spell with a gesture and Flashed away again.

Another Nine-Headed Hydra was Summoned on the spot as he disappeared.

Abel was not afraid, and instead he felt a thrill he had not experienced in a long time.

The Nine-Headed Hydra spit out two fireballs before it was also killed, and one of the fireballs hit the Black Souls.

Abel sensed the Black Souls targeting him once again, but he still needed some time to Cast another spell.

But he was not nervous, and just twitched slightly. Countless lightning strikes burst around his skin and hair, but they only gave him a little sting.

The Black Souls were initially spread out in all corners of the hall with Abel in the middle, but the fact that they had gathered their forces meant Abel now had a chance to strike back!

The Ice Armor on him was weakened a little, but he Cast another Nine-Headed Hydra with a smile.

Since those Black Souls were already locked on Abel, they would not go after the Nine-Headed Hydra immediately, which gave Abel time to Summon even more of them!

Abel was not Flashing about randomly. His targets were the pillars in the middle of the hall, which could help him block their attacks!

When he reached the pillars, his body stuck against them like glue, and most of the lightning strikes behind him were blocked.

Since those lightning attacks were made from electricity, they could not penetrate the column!

At that point Abel Summoned his third Nine-Headed Hydra.

Abel then Flashed to another column, but the sudden failure of their attacks caused some Black Souls to change their positions, and that in turn disrupted their attack rhythms.

Now those Black Souls were unleashing two sets of attacks, instead of one!

That was even more of a hassle, so by that point Abel just started Summoning Nine-Headed Hydras with both hands.

He sensed one group of those Black Souls targeting him, and the rest were moving towards his location.

His Druid Soul began to calculate. He should have time to Cast one more Nine-Headed Hydra before he Flashed away again.

He moved slightly and dodged most of the lightning strikes, but as more gathered, he knew it was time to Flash away.

It looked like he was dancing on death’s door, but the number of Nine-Headed Hydras in the hall was growing by the minute, and Abel knew victory would be coming as soon as the first Black Soul was killed.

The Nine-Headed Hydra was not the most powerful attack spell, but fire was the most effective element on Black Souls, and they did not have much health in the first place!

After all, only elite Hell creatures would be able to have powerful attacks and defenses at the same time!

Soon, a dozen Nine-Headed Hydras had gathered, and the Black Souls began to fall into chaos.

Their lightning attacks were no longer in sync with one another, and Abel knew he could no longer continue, even with his World Stone activated.
