Abel did not plan to live in the palace. Although it was much more luxurious than the tavern, it was still a huge project to clean it up. Also, he didn't think it would be as comfortable as the tavern.
Living alone in the cold palace made the Dark World even more lonely than it already was.
He returned to the tavern. The spirit guardian Knight had already cleaned it up. Although it was still empty, it seemed to have regained some of its vitality.
He took out a few bottles of red wine from his portal bracelet and placed them in the wine cabinet. He then took out some crystal glasses and placed them on the counter, making the first floor more lively.
Afterward, he went to the second floor of the tavern and found the biggest bedroom. He changed all the bedding inside into new ones. Finally, he felt a little bit at home in the Dark World.
Abel began to explore the area around Lut Gholein. There were 3 directions.
The first was to leave from the Lut Gholein city gate and head towards the Rocky Waste. There were large amounts of hell creatures there, and it was also the only way to go deeper.
The second direction was to enter the sewers of Lut Gholein and find Radament's nest. Legend had it that Radament had a book that could increase skill points. It was a good target.
The third direction was the underground of the Lut Gholein palace. It led to the Divine Secret Shelter. There was a powerful wizard there.
Considering his own strength, Abel decided to start from the sewers of Lut Gholein. Starting from Lut Gholein, the hell creatures no longer only had physical attacks. Most of their attacks were infused with elemental energy.
The hell creatures here were almost as powerful as a low-ranking wizard in the Holy Continent. It was a lot harder to fight them. He could only slowly increase his strength and adapt to the elemental attacks.
Abel went through a maintenance door at the port and led the spirit guardian Knight to the first floor of the sewers. The eternal flame of hell lit up the sewers with a dark red flame. Everywhere he looked, the walls and the ground were all red.
As soon as the 8 spirit guardian Knight turned a corner, they heard the sound of arrows piercing through the air. Then, Abel saw a large number of flaming arrows flying towards them from the depths of the sewers.
The Spirit Guardian Knight had already blinked towards the direction of the arrow. The Spirit Guardian Knight's blinking ability prevented the hell creatures from unleashing their full potential.
Abel held the Leaf magic staff in his hand as Black Wind rushed towards the battlefield. Soon, he saw the first hell creature that came to Lut Gholein, the Burning Death Archer. It was a red skeleton archer that could fire arrows.
A 'fireball' spell pattern appeared in front of the Leaf magic staff. Afterward, a fireball emerged from the pattern and flew towards 3 Burning Death Archers that were close to each other. The fireball directly hit the Burning Death Archer in the middle, and the explosion surrounded the other 2 Burning Death Archers.
Abel frowned. The effect of the 'fireball' spell was obviously weakened. It was probably because the Burning Death Archer had fire resistance.
In the Rogue's encampment, only elite hell creatures had elemental resistance. However, in Lut Gholein, even normal hell creatures had high elemental resistance. It wasn't hard to imagine how much stronger the hell creatures in Lut Gholein would be.
While he was thinking, a Spirit Guardian Knight was attacking the Burning Death Archer in front of it. Not far from it, a group of 5 Burning Death Archers shot 5 flaming arrows towards the Spirit Guardian Knight.
The Spirit Guardian Knight blocked with its shield, but it did not stop attacking the archers in front of it. One of the flaming arrows hit the shield, and the other 4 hit the armor of the Spirit Guardian Knight.
This was the problem of the spirit guardian knight's lack of battle experience. Although its blocking posture was perfect, the fire element had broken through its shield as soon as the first fire arrow landed on it. The shield was blasted away.
It could be seen that the 4 arrows did not have much power, but the fire elemental energy that came with them made Abel feel a sharp pain in his head. He had lost contact with the Spirit Guardian Knight.
"Use your fire enchantment, and pay attention to dodge!" Abel yelled to the spirit guardian knight captain. By that point, he was already regretting that he didn't test out the power of the Burning Death Archer first.
A red light flashed on the Spirit Guardian Knight captain, and the other 6 Spirit Guardian Knights also flashed red. The captain's fire enchantment gave them fire resistance.
Abel's leaf magic staff disappeared. Instead, he took out his Pelta Lunata and Jade Tan Do. His golden lightning combat qi merged with the white lightning and wrapped around the Jade Tan Do.
The Burning Death Archer's attack power was beyond his expectation, so he decided to join in the attack and try his best to make it impossible for the archers to shoot out arrows.
Black Wind was connected with Abel's soul, and it flashed next to the Burning Death Archer like a flash of lightning. Abel's dark gold short sword kept sweeping across the bodies of the archers. The lightning combat qi did a lot of damage to them, and they all shifted their aggro to Abel.
A few flaming arrows flew towards Abel. Abel already knew how powerful these flaming arrows were, so he controlled Black Wind to run a little bit to dodge all of the arrows.
Afterward, Abel rode Black Wind and weaved in and out of the flaming arrows. He did not forget to attack the nearby archers. Almost all the aggro on the battlefield was attracted to him.
Spirit guardian knight Naga took out 4 green glowing balls from its back and threw them towards the battlefield. Due to the rules, this poison would not work on other summons of the same master. Of course, it would not work on the master as well.
Green smoke surrounded the battlefield, and the battle ended even faster. Although Naga's poison attack was not as powerful as Andariel's, according to Abel's estimation, Naga's poison attack was not to be underestimated.
After the battle ended, the spirit guardian Knights stepped up and sucked the soul fire from the Burning Death Archer's head into their own. This was a way for spirit guardian Knights to strengthen themselves. It was also a way for them to master the abilities of other skeletons.
Abel looked at the dead spirit guardian Knight on the side. Data kept flashing in his eyes as he analyzed the battle just now.
The Burning Death Archers just now had the attack power of a level 40 hell creature. According to the fire spell he just cast, these Burning Death Archers had at least 50% fire resistance. From these 2 points, the hell creatures of Lut Gholein were basically nightmares.
If the spirit guardian knights didn't have a full set of magic gear and a level 20 skeleton resurrection, they wouldn't have been able to kill those hell creatures with an average of 500 health points in such a short time.
More importantly, these Burning Death Archers were all long-range attackers. The spirit guardian Knight's melee attacks made them lose most of their fighting power. The scattered groups of Burning Death Archers were also attracted by Abel.
Due to the huge level difference, the soul fire of these Burning Death Archers strengthened the spirit guardian Knight a little. The most obvious change was the change in their bodies. Of course, if it wasn't for the world stone, Abel wouldn't have noticed it so easily.
A new skeleton was summoned from the body of the strongest Burning Death Archer on the ground. Unfortunately, it didn't mutate. This made Abel wonder if he should leave a spirit guardian Knight's position. He could let this spirit guardian Knight keep dying and summoning until it became a mutated spirit guardian Knight like Naga.
