Abe the Wizard - Chapter 369

Chapter 369: Betray

Although the Countess sounded like she didn’t care, her face was serious. He knew exactly how powerful these 7 elite female servants were. Although they were supposed to listen to everything she commanded, they would turn into her enemy immediately as soon as she betrayed hell, just like now.

Of course, those 7 elite female servants weren’t too smart. They instinctively knew the Countess was afraid of close attacks. Since they only had a blade on them, close body attacks were the only thing they could do anyway. So, those elite female servants did not stop as they continued to ruthlessly run towards the Countess, not giving her a single rest.

The Countess kept unleashing walls of flames in front of her. The place was now filled with fire, but the Countess herself didn’t seem to be bothered by it; she swiftly moved within the flames.

The servants kept screaming as they ran after the Countess amongst the flames.

Just Abel thought the Countess was about to win, an elite female servant suddenly increased her speed viciously and ended up behind the Countess like a shadow. She stuck down, and a broken effect occurred, the Countess’s stopped moving.

The other 6 elite female servants also rushed forward and surrounded the Countess. They ruthlessly struck down on the Countess with their blades, and the Countess was helpless. Suddenly a thin protective shield emerged around her, but it didn’t seem like it was going to last long.

“I never thought it would be the knight skills I taught you guys that would end my life!” Said the Countess. But she didn’t seem sad at all. Instead, she looked a little relieved.

The moment before her protection shield shattered, Abel’s 5 spirit guardian knights and spirit wolves began to attack the 7 elite female servants. Meanwhile, Abel’s gaze remained on the Countess, just in case something happened.

The female servants were very strong, even without the fire enchantment. Other than the spirit guardian knight captain, all the other summons had a hard time against this 10 vs. 7 battle.

The spirit guardian knight captain was the first to put an end to this. As his body started to glow in red, the fire magic sword in his hand struck down. Under this fire enchantment, those fire-defenseless servants were chopped up one by one.

“The honorable knight. Every single hell creature in here has now turned against me ever since my heart had betrayed hell, so I will be your most loyal steward!” The Countess’s voice was filled with yearning. She always wanted to escape, but it had been too long since an adventurer had visited.

At first, she had already given up this hope, but Abel’s arrival had brought a ray of light on her once again. The moment when she realized Abel had come from another world, she was ready to give up everything. She just wanted to live a new life; maybe even death was a type of escape.

“Em!” Abel was a little hesitant. The Countess was a dark gold boss from the Dark World. Would it be a problem if he wanted to keep her?

“Don’t worry. I can sign a soul contract with you!” The Countess’s eyes were filled with excitement, but her voice still sounded very certain.

“You need to give me some time. Maybe a few hours; I need to prepare!” Abel didn’t have any objections when the Countess offered to sign a soul contract with him, but at that moment, but his soul didn’t have any room to sign another contract.

“I had already waited for tens of thousands of years, I can wait another few hours!” the Countess said in a joyous voice.

As they were still speaking, the spirit guardian knight captain had already returned to the side of Abel with the other summons after killing all the female servants.

“You wait here, I’ll be back in a moment!”Abel said as he quickly exited the Forgotten Tower following where he had come from.

As soon as Flying Flame saw its owner coming out, it quickly flew down from the top of the tower. It roared in excitement, but then it seemed like something had popped into its head. It gazed at its owner with desire, and after its owner nodded, it roared again.

Abel then took out his intermediate protection circle. He said to Flying Flame as he was setting it up “Flying Flame, you and them will need to protect me. I need to train for a while!”

Flying Flame was very confident in this mission. It nodded and immediately flew back up in circles, patrolling the place.

Abel’s summons also began to surround the magic circle, as Abel sat within it. He took out a bottle of ‘Soul Potion’ from his Kong Kong spirit portal bag and swallowed it down. However, this time, he didn’t use his mind. Instead, he emptied his thoughts.

In this state, the ‘Soul Potion’ began nourishing his soul. He needed no energy for his mind. It had taken him more than an hour until the ‘Soul Potion’ was fully absorbed.

Afterward, Abel took out another bottle and another bottle. Since the effects of these ‘Soul Potions’ would not wear out, his soul had finally gained enough space for another contract after 6 bottles.

Abel would probably be the only person in the entire Holy Continent who could do this. The soul was a mysterious thing, so every potion that could increase its capacity was priceless. If these kinds of potions were not the products of the Horadric cube, there would be devastating side effects.

Therefore other than Abel, no one could increase their level by drinking down these Soul enhancing potions like water. After 6 bottles, his Will attribute had reached 70 points, mana had reached 80 points. When he held up his Pelta Lunata again, his Will attributes shot up for another 10 points.

Without the guidance of any teacher, No one could tell if Abel was wrong or right for what he was doing. He always thought that higher Will was better, so he always kept trying to strengthen it like crazy.

Abel stood up and gave his stiff body a little stretch after sitting for hours. He had drunk 6 bottles of Soul Potions at once without using his brain. Although his increase in Will was just the same, his soul was noticeably better. It would have probably taken him 10 bottles for his soul to reach this level normally.

After Abel put away his intermediate protection circle, he let Flying Flame know and went back to the fifth floor of the dungeon with his summons.

The Countess was sitting there quietly. She no longer had the vibe of a dark gold boss as she put on her long noble dress again. Instead, her expression seemed very formal and respectful, just like a noble female steward.

“I’ll sign the soul contract with you now. Don’t resist!” Abel said gently.

“Yes, Master, I’m ready!” Excitement flashed within the eyes of the Countess, as though she had already become Abel’s steward.

The only way Abel knew how to sign a soul contract was the ‘Mount enchantment’. It was a mysterious and ancient way of signing a soul contract. As Abel said the spell, a cloud of green light appeared and surrounded the Countess.

Just when Abel thought the contract would be complete soon, a dark scent of hell flew out from the Countess’s Soul straight towards his soul. Before this scent even reached his soul, Abel could sense it’s evil.

This scent was Soul pollution. Abel didn’t know signing a soul contract with a member of hell was basically stealing someone from hell. This pollution was what allowed hell to control its members. Although the Countess’s soul remained an individual, it was still affected by this pollution. Therefore when Abel connected his soul with the Countess, this pollution had also entered his body.

Abel felt his heart drop. If his soul was polluted, maybe he would become a member of hell as well.
