Abe the Wizard - Chapter 784

Chapter 784: Break

After killing the rock maggot, Abel quickly increased his flashing speed. After a few moves, he discovered a decent sized area around 100 square meters.

There were countless Holy Beetle and sand maggots there. They were all servant level hell creatures.

Abel kept scanning with his power of will, and he spotted a giant golden maggot with half of its body in the ground. It was Coldworm the Burrower. Suddenly, it let out a loud screech, and the sand maggots beside it began to lay eggs. It was aware of Abel.

The Holy Beetles also patroled, but they could only walk in a line due to the narrow tunnel.

Abel did not flash in front of the beetles. Instead, he commanded his spirit guardian knights to do so. Afterward, he flashed behind the spirit guardian knights.

His Firewall started burning once again. The Holy Beetles screamed in agony. Patches of lightning shoot out from their body, but since they were in a narrow tunnel, most of the lighting was blocked by the walls, and the spirit guardian knights blocked the remaining ones.

Hundreds of Holy Beetles dashed towards Abel, but their hopeless attacks couldn’t even get close to Abel before they were burned to ash.

Soon, Abel realized through his power of the will that all of the Holy Beetles in this place had died by charging into the tunnel.

Abel now understood that Holy Beetles only had fighting instincts and no intelligence. This kind of attack might do some damage in an open space, but definitely not in an environment like this.

Abel kept scanning with his power of will. Only some sand maggots and the Coldworm of Burrower were left beside the scattered eggs on the ground.

Without the Holy Beetles, those Sand maggots could not do much damage. Still, their poison attacks were a bit annoying.

Since there was no big danger, he wanted to flash forward and burn them with a firewall.

Afterwards, the spirit guardian knights, Black Wind, and him, disappeared from the tunnel in a flash of white light. They then reappeared in the open space with the spirit guardian knights guarding by Abel’s side.

Abel immediately threw a Firewall towards the Coldworm of Burrower as the spirit guardian knights began to wipe out those sand maggots. Those sand maggots were all servant level. Their life force was quite strong. Even the spirit guardian knights were fire enchanted. They couldn’t kill them all in a short time.

Just when Abel thought the Coldworm of Burrower would screech and twitch in his Firewall, it did the unexpected and remained still.

The firewall kept burning, but Coldworm seemed unaffected by it.

Suddenly, Abel thought of those dark gold bosses’ rare ability from hell ‘Complete fire resistance.’ This ability could make fire attacks completely useless.

Since fire attacks were useless, Abel quickly changed to an Ice Pole spell and threw out strikes of sharp ice asteroids.

However, he was shocked once again. The Coldworm of Burrower was also unaffected by it.

“Complete ice resistance’, Abel blamed his luck. It was extremely rare to see a dark gold boss with 2 types of resistance, yet he had run into one.

When he changed to a lightning spell, he seemed to forget how long he had stayed in one place.

His journey was too smooth. Since he discovered the power of wizards, he had lost the fear of the Dark World. He was holding a rune world ‘leaf’ magic staff, which could strengthen his firewall.

However, the downside was his defense. It had taken a dramatic drop to only 10 points.

Suddenly, a few unnoticeable rocks beside him burst open, and countless sand maggot larva gushed out and surrounded him in a blink of an eye.

Afterward, more and more maggot eggs hatched and speeded towards him.

When Abel realized what was going on, he immediately wanted to move in a flash. But before he could ignite the spell pattern, the Coldworm of Burrower let out a big howl, and his body immediately turned green.

Abel felt a vicious sense of dizziness as his body grew weak. This slowed down his reaction speed, stopped his move in a flash spell, as well as broken both of his magic defense.

Since he failed to move in a flash, the sand maggots speeded in front of Abel and unleashed their crazy attacks.

Those sand maggots’ attack power was strong, only 1 point of damage with some poisonous effect at most.

The horror of those hell creatures’ special close body attributes defusing effect was on full display. Although Abel’s Broken Ice armor kept striking back automatically, there was still way too many Stand maggot larva.

The frost slowed some down, but there was still a sea of them coming towards Abel.

Abel’s quick recovery could stop the defusing effect to some extent, but there was just way too much sand maggot larva–to the point where he could not recover fast enough. His attributes were defused.

Abel felt his body shaking. No matter how much he struggled, he could not break out from this defused state. Soon, his Broken ice armor fell apart. Another layer of defense was down.

The spirit guardian knights realized what was happening to Abel, so they quickly came back for support. However, those stand maggot eggs kept hatching. There were seemingly endless amounts of sand maggot larva covering the sky.

To add salt to an open wound, that Coldworm the Burrower howled again and a dark red cloud of curse emerged above the spirit guardian knights. Red raindrops of curse poured down, and a red glow emerged above the head of those spirit guardian knights.

“It’s the amplify damage curse!” Abel felt his body getting weak and weaker. Originally, those sand maggots did not damage him even though they kept defusing his power.

But since the amplified damage curse appeared, they would hurt him with each strike. Although they were still not powerful, Abel was being attacked by tens of them at a time.

He felt his life force slowly draining. Luckily his druid soul automatically ignited a full recovery potion from his belt and brought him back to his best shape.

But, it did not clear away the curse and free him from the defused state. Even the green poison on him remained.

Coldworm the Burrower howled again, and a green poisonous gas filled the air. Abel felt his body weaken once again, and the dizziness returned.

He was in extreme danger. Using the full recovery potion to sustain himself was not a solution since he would eventually run out of it. After that, he would be done.

‘Black Wind!” Abel yelled, almost instinctively.

Black Wind was useful in countless crucial times like this, and this time was no different. As Abel yelled, the move in a flash in Black Wind’s nature was ignited.

Black Wind’s move in a flash was not a spell. It was his natural ability. It didn’t need a spell pattern, which was a lot faster and convenient than Abel’s move in a flash.

A white light flashed, and the stand maggot larva missed their attacks. They desperately tried to search for their target again, but Abel was nowhere to be found.
