Abe the Wizard - Chapter 287

Chapter 287: Rakanishu

Abel’s attack strategy would need to change now that he knew the attribute of Rakanishu. If close-ranged attacks failed, he would try long-range.

As Abel was still thinking, the poison creeper had already appeared under the roaring Rakanishu like an assassin. Its body poked out from the ground and tightly surrounded Rakanishu with it. The hard poison immediately turned Rakanishu completely green, but it had miscalculated. Rakanishu’s blood level was extremely high. Although the hard poison could normally threaten the life of normal creatures, it was almost nothing to Rakanishu. The green in its body disappeared in a flash, and the poison’s effect had vanished. Only something with an extremely strong anti-poison ability could do that.

Afterward, patches of lighting dawn upon the poison creeper wrapping around Rakanishu. The scene was insane; it was the power of a dark level lighting enchantment. The poison creeper began to twitch and tried to escape, but lighting attacks could also have a numbing effect other than direct damage. Abel wanted to withdraw the poison creeper, but before he could even process what happened, the poison creeper was already struck into critical condition by the lighting. It disappeared from the body of Rakanishu and returned to the monster portal bag in a near-death state.

Abel quickly took out a few intermediate magic gem and threw them into the monster portal bag. This would create enough energy in the monster portal bag to heal the poison creeper, but still, it could not fight again in the next 2 days.

The level 11 poison creeper had almost been instantly killed. Abel felt his heart twitch. He commanded the 4 spirit guardian knights to change up to a Harry bow with his power of the will.

Abel shot a red arrow shot out along with the 4 attributed from the 4 spirit guardian knights. The poison, ice, fire, and electric arrow from the attributed Harry bow were faster than the Raven Claw. It directly struck upon Rakanishu. The red arrow then followed, and an explosion set off in the center of its chest. The surrounding elite guards were also hurt by the exploding.

Abel thought the ice arrow would at least slow down Rakanishu’s movement, but Abel didn’t get what he wanted. It seemed like those dark gold hell creatures could withstand ice attacks very well.

Rakanishu roared as he rushed towards Abel with the 8 elite Carvers. Its speed was much faster than Abel’s expectations. Rakanishu was like a blue beam of lighting; it was already right in front of him before he could even prepare his second exploding arrow. The long blade in its hand was swinging right at Abel.

None of the armor on Abel’s body had the ability to counteract spell, so he would have had to take up all of the lightning if he had been struck. Although his health had already been increased by the Oak Sage, he would still be risking his body.

A magic shield appeared on Abel’s hand to counteract Rakanishu, and a blue shockwave whipped across. A layer of frost appeared on Rakanishu. At the same time, a patch of lighting exploded from its body.

Abel could faintly feel the numbing out of the lighting strike, so he quickly stepped back with Black a Wind. Black Wind was much better at counteracting spells. Although some of it’s black fur had stood up straight, it did not affect its movement. Soon, their distance between Rakanishu was increased again.

The spirit guardian knights copied and flashed away too, one of them stayed behind and struck Rakanishu with its ice magic sword. Afterward, it flashed away to the far just before the lighting was unleashed. With this short 2 seconds of frozen effect, Abel and the spirit guardian knights quickly attacked with the Harry bow.

When Rakanishu’s movement returned, another spirit guardian Knight appeared by its side and struck another time with the ice magic sword. Rakanishu was slowed down once again.

The frost slow down from the ice magic sword was different from the one used in spell attacks. The one in spell attacks could work, but higher the hell creature’s rank was, the less effect it would have on it. On the other hand, an ice magic sword was equipped with an ice rune. It utilized a fixed physical impact and physical frost to slow down the enemy. Therefore, even a little bit of this fixed frost was more effective in slowing down the enemy than the one from spell attacks.

The 8 elite guards were a little slower than Rakanishu, so they were completely blocked and dominated by the 5 spirit wolves. On top of Raven’s disturbance, victory was just a matter of time.

Abel and the 4 spirit guardian knights were just getting into their flow of attack, and an elite Carver nearby was killed. Just when it’s dead body hit the ground, all the 7 elite Carver scattered, running towards all directions, as though as they had received some scary signal.

Rakanishu screamed as well. All of the frost on its body had vanished almost immediately. However, just when Abel thought it would explode, it actually turned and ran away.

Abel face palmed himself. Why didn’t he think of Rakanishu’s natural characteristic? Even if it had become a dark gold hell creature, it still evolved from a Fallen. When would all run in paranoia as soon as one of their teammates was killed? This was the nature of Fallen. It was burned to their bones, and they could never get rid of it.

It seemed like Rakanishu was even a few times faster when running away. If the flashes of the spirit guardian knights were not the fasting thing in this world, there was no way they could appear by its side just like that, and keeping it in control. If Rakanishu went beyond the attackable area, these dark gold could quickly regain their health. Afterward, all of Abel’s efforts in this battle would mean nothing.

With Abel’s current level, maybe even the best equipment would not do much damage to those dark gold hell creatures. There was only one strategy he could use, grind. He had to slowly grind the health of those dark gold hell creatures away.

Good thing those physic defying spirit wolves could continuously move in a flash. It gave those almost uselessly slow skeletons the ability to appear right next to their enemy just like that. They could then give a little attack, and disappear immediately again. In this situation, Abel’s ice magic sword could fully unleash its power.

The main damage was still given by Abel and the 4 spirit guardian Knight’s Harry bow. Although Rakanishu would often escape when an elite Carver guard was killed, or when a spirit guardian spirit flashed next to it to give it some ice magic slow down, Abel still dominated the battle most of the time.

When Rakanishu let out a screen, and its body began to fill up with lighting glow, Abel and the 4 spirit guardian knights had already backed off to a distance. After countless battles, the habit of these hell creatures had become way too predictable to Abel.

A beam of lightning shot out from the chest of Rakanishu, immediately burning patches of grass around to pitch black. The blood and flesh of Rakanishu also shot out along this explosion. Luckily Abel had backed off quickly, otherwise, he and his little team might get hurt from this.

One gold and one black shadow flew towards the Horadric cube on Abel’s arm. He knew the dead Rakanishu could give him 2 combined potions including 1 purple Soul potion, and 1 gold Power potion. However, Abel did not go and had a look immediately; instead, he commanded Black Wind to look for the weapons and shield Rakanishu had just dropped. Abel had sensed something wrong when attacking; it seemed like Rskanishu might have some crazy defense ability.

As Abel watched Black Wind run out to search for those rewards, he took out the 2 potions from his Horadric cube. The soul of Rakanishu was shimmering within the purple Soul potion. Although Abel had used Soul potions many times before, he could still not tolerate the ones with the shadow of a creature’s soul within it. They were directly made from the soul of a dark gold hell creature, so Abel decided to just let Rib Bone no.1 have it, who was now the Captain spirit guardian knights.
