In the Bloody Hills outside of Harrogath in the Dark World, Abel's battle was going very well. Although there were more and more types of dark creatures and their fighting styles were getting more and more varied, his team was still very strong.
Since Doff, Flying Flame, Johnson, and Jason were all fighting on the ground, the battle was getting easier and easier.
With the buff of Bruce Knight and Wyr Legendary Paladin's aura, as well as the spells of Abel, Frankenstein, and Wizard Tony, the battle was always under Abel's control.
The angel's body was even scarier in this place. Because of the lack of the "counterattack" curse, the angel's body was basically rampaging in this place. It was like no one was there to stop it.
Even though they were on the last continent of the Dark World, the battle was still a lot easier.
At that moment, Abel realized that his power had increased, especially with his angelic body. He was confident that he could take on any creature in the Dark World by himself.
Suddenly, an elemental cluster fell from the sky and exploded not far away from him. The 'grey bear' beside him dutifully blocked the lightning explosion caused by the explosion of the elemental cluster for him.
Afterward, another elemental cluster fell from the sky and turned into a green poison mist.
Abel spread out his power of the Will, but he couldn't find where the attack came from.
This meant that the attack was beyond his power of the Will range. Although the environment here was still suppressing his power of the Will, he could still scan everything within 500 meters.
He then took out the mysterious headband and put it on. He could sense everything within 1000 meters, but he still couldn't find the source of the attack.
He couldn't help but be curious. Such a long range attack couldn't be from hell creatures.
Following his command, Flying Flame expanded its range in the sky and began to search for the source of the attack.
It seemed like only Flying Flame could fly in the Dark World. The angelic body, Thief God Milton, and Wyr Legendary Paladin couldn't fly in the Dark World.
Flying Flame searched in the air for a while and let out a dragon roar at Abel.
Flying Flame's dragon roar only had one effect in the Dark World, and that was to communicate with Abel. If they were in the Central Continent, most of the creatures within 10 miles of Flying Flame's dragon roar would run away as fast as they could. If they were further away, all the creatures would run away.
This was how scary the dragons were. Flying Flame's dragon roar was useless against hell creatures in the Dark World.
Abel led his team to Flying Flame's location. Although he thought he was strong, he didn't dare to ignore the hell creatures and charge right into them.
Soon, he saw the thing that was attacking him from afar. It was a type of catapult. There was a pentagonal array at the base of the catapult and a mechanical device made of special materials.
Abel commanded the team members to not attack the catapult, and he flashed to the side of the catapult.
The catapult was made of special materials, but there was a hell soul container at one end of the catapult. The attack of the catapult was controlled by the hell soul container.
The catapult was a hell creature, but it wasn't completely. The hell soul container didn't have any attack power. It needed a mechanical device to gather the energy from the pentagonal array at the base of the catapult.
Abel was very interested in this catapult. In just one minute, it was firing once per second, and it was constantly changing its elemental attack pattern.
Poison, ice, lightning, and fire elements were formed from the pentagonal array at the base of the catapult. They were then transferred to the catapult and launched by the hell soul.
It seemed like Abel didn't have the ability to attack at close range, so he didn't get hit at all.
The ability to attack with four elements and the range of the attack was exactly what he needed.
However, if he wanted to make the catapult his own, he had to take care of some problems first.
It was easy to kill the hell soul inside the container, but after he gave the container a light hit, he realized that attacking the container was the same as attacking the entire catapult. If the hell soul was killed, the catapult would be scrapped.
If he couldn't attack it, then he would just have to dismantle it.
Perhaps for other people, dismantling a catapult, especially one with complicated connections, would be very difficult.
However, after Abel activated the world stone fragment, everything became simple. He recorded every path to the pentagonal array at the base of the catapult.
He reached out his hand and pressed on the pentagonal array at the base of the catapult. The grandmaster alchemist rune in his body flashed, and an energy that had never appeared in this world started to affect the materials of the pentagonal array.
In the perfect pentagonal array, a hole appeared in one of the main paths, and the pentagonal array lost its energy supply.
The catapults that had been constantly attacking also stopped. No matter how much the hell's soul tried to influence them, no more elemental balls appeared.
Next, he focused his power of the will on the mechanical parts of the catapult, and he quickly analyzed how to dismantle it in his mind.
The materials on the catapult were dismantled one by one. Every time a material was dismantled, the connection between it and the hell soul would be cut off.
This was why he wanted to dismantle the catapult instead of putting it in his holy portal bag.
Only when the connection with the hell soul was cut off would the materials be his.
The dismantling of the catapult went very smoothly. This was mainly because of the world stone fragment's ability. It allowed him to have a blueprint of the catapult in his mind.
The last thing to be removed was the hell soul container. During the design process, most of the parts of the catapult's main structure had to be removed before the hell soul container could be removed. This also meant that when Hell was making the catapult, they had thought that someone might directly dismantle the catapult, so they had taken precautions.
However, this precaution didn't work. No matter how complicated the structure was, it was very easy to dismantle it with the help of the world stone fragment.
After the hell soul container was removed from the catapult, the rest of the catapult was turned into materials. There was no longer any presence of hell.
It was too bad that Abel didn't know how these materials were made. Of course, he didn't want to know what they were made of.
If he knew, he might not even have the courage to use the catapult anymore.
Finally, he dismantled the rest of the catapult and put it in his holy portal bag. He didn't want to continue fighting. It was already the tenth day in the Dark World, so he might as well end it early.
He called back his team and returned to the golden castle.
He arrived at the starlight protection circle and took out all the parts of the catapult from his holy portal bag.
Afterward, he began to assemble it. This process was also very simple because he had the blueprint of the catapult in his mind.
Soon, a catapult appeared on top of the starlight protection circle.
Other than the lack of a hell soul container, it was no different from a hell catapult.
"Magic circle spirit, analyze this catapult and set up a control circle on it!" Abel didn't know much about magic circles, but he had a magic circle spirit that specialized in magic circles, so he commanded the magic circle spirit.
"Yes, master!" The magic circle spirit responded and scanned the catapult with energy.
Then, two delicate construction puppets appeared beside the catapult using a short-distance teleportation circle. The construction puppets took out the materials for setting up the circle from their own space and began to set up the control circle at the place where the hell's soul container was originally placed.
The delicate mechanical fingers kept spitting out fire and ice to change the shape of the material so that it was more suitable for the catapult's structure.
Afterward, the mechanical fingers reached out with a carving knife and began to carve out complicated patterns.
Of course, these were not the work of the puppets. It was the idea of the magic circle spirit, and it was just the hands of the puppets.
The process of setting up the circle and activating it was all done by the puppets. This also showed how perfect the dwarfs' construction puppets were.
But then again, the dwarfs' engineers were also piloting construction puppets to set up the circle. It was not hard to understand why these puppets were so well-designed.
"Master, the control circle is set up!" The magic circle spirit's voice emerged.
Abel looked at it. It was the same control circle as the puppet control circle. He used his power of the Will to make it recognize him as its master, and he could control it completely.
Afterward, he began to repair the pentagram circle on the base. Otherwise, with the catapult's attack efficiency, it would've thrown out tens of elemental balls before he could control it.
Pentagram arrays were rarely used in the Central Continent. Most of them were used in the Dark World, where you could see the shadows of pentagram arrays everywhere.
Although Abel had a specific route for this pentagram circle, it was still very difficult for him to set it up again.
This pentagram circle was not drawn. Instead, it was carved with special materials.
What he needed to do now was to fix the gap he made when he used the grandmaster alchemist rune in the Dark World.
Probably only the power of a grandmaster alchemist could affect the rune of a powerful long-range weapon in the Dark World.
Abel used his power of the Will to control the energy of the grandmaster alchemist rune and fixed the gap to its original state. With the help of the world stone fragment, he was sure that it would look exactly the same as before.
The moment the pentagonal formation was repaired, the pentagonal formation automatically began to gather energy.
Normally, it would only take half a second to gather enough energy in the Dark World. However, it took a full five minutes to gather enough energy here.
After gathering enough energy, a cluster of lightning automatically appeared in the center of the pentagram. It then followed a passage in the catapult and was sent to the catapult.
Abel's power of the Will had a range of 1650 meters, so he locked onto a mountain rock at 1650 meters away. Afterward, he commanded the catapult to attack through the control circle.
The mechanical part of the catapult began to move, and the lightning bolts in the bag were thrown out. Since the speed was too fast, Abel could only sense the trajectory of the lightning bolts with his power of the Will. He couldn't see the entire process of the lightning bolts with his eyes.
The lightning ball accurately hit the mountain rock, followed by a violent explosion. The mountain rock that wasn't small was blown apart by the lightning ball, and then the trees and rocks around the mountain rock were all hit by the small lightning that burst out from the lightning ball.
The trees fell, and the rocks exploded. This power shocked Abel.
The catapult's power was much stronger than it was in the Dark World. But then again, the Dark World suppressed a lot of things. Maybe even a powerful long-range weapon like the catapult's power was suppressed.
Abel did not stop. He put on the mysterious headband again and set the catapult at a distance of 3300 meters. This time, he did not hit the target. The elemental ball landed at a distance of 3000 meters.
After a few experiments, he confirmed that the catapult's attack range was 3000 meters, and the explosion range was 30 meters.
The catapult's power was beyond his expectations, but it also had a weakness. It needed to be recharged every 5 minutes.
The mana density of the Dark World was much higher than the Central Continent, so the pentagram circle could only be recharged in a second. The same circle would take 5 minutes to recharge in the Central Continent.
However, the power of this pentagram circle was beyond Abel's expectation. Even if it only took 5 minutes to recharge in the Central Continent, the power it could unleash was already beyond the technology of the Central Continent.
Even the technology of the ancient times was not as good as the pentagram circle. The Fire Tooth Battle Fort needed to be charged with top-level gems to unleash an attack of the same power. There was no way it could be charged with just one circle.
Still, he took out a few top-level gemstones and placed them in the pentagram circle. After that, the pentagram circle that was still in the middle of charging was fully charged in an instant.
A ball of poison element appeared in the circle and was transferred to the catapult pocket. It was waiting for Abel's command.
