The 'Fireball' flew over four hundred meters, and although the speed of the fire spell wasn't slow, it gave the Bearman enough time to prepare.
One of the Bearmen swung his shield at the 'fireball', but he never expected the 'fireball' to suddenly turn and fly towards another Bearman who was caught off guard as it approached him.
This caught the bearman completely off guard. Just as the fireball was about to hit the bearman, a bulge suddenly appeared on the ground in front of the bearman and blocked the fireball from hitting it.
Abel's eyes narrowed. He didn't just cast the fireball randomly. He commanded it with his power of the will. He thought the bearman wouldn't be able to dodge this fireball, but it was blocked by an orc priest's mud monster.
It seemed like this battle would be very troublesome, but he was already prepared. A spell pattern flashed on the leaf in his hand, and he cast a 'fire enchantment' spell on himself.
Afterward, the leaf magic staff in his hand disappeared and was replaced by the Riphook rune bow. 3 arrows appeared on the bowstring, and he was now 300 meters away.
Abel could already hear the sound of running from afar. It was the sound of a large number of orcs running. They would arrive in 2 minutes at most. If it wasn't for the dark sky, he would've been able to see the figures of the orcs rushing over.
He couldn't hesitate anymore. He estimated that he only had 100 seconds at most, and the orc priest on the other side seemed to be very powerful.
"Arrow rain!" Abel began to unleash his full power. His speed reached seven arrows per second, and each time he shot out three arrows, he would shoot out three arrows.
In an instant, a rain of arrows was shot towards the 10 orcs. Especially in this dark environment, it was hard to see his arrows clearly.
Just when his arrows were about to reach the orcs, a grey light barrier appeared around the orcs and wrapped around the battle drum and the 10 orcs.
The arrows and the grey light barrier kept colliding. The light barrier kept shaking, but it didn't disappear.
"An intermediate protection circle!" Abel was almost sure that this was an intermediate protection circle. Judging from the color, it was probably powered by skull gems. This was the first time he saw a circle powered by skull gems.
Ordinary Intermediate Defensive Arrays had a very large range. This Defensive Array reduced the range of its defense, but in exchange, it had a much stronger defensive effect.
Abel's arrows were imbued with powerful lightning and fire elements. The arrows he shot out in that short period of time were enough to destroy a beginner protection circle. If it was an intermediate protection circle, he could've made a hole.
But now, his arrows were blocked outside the defensive array, and none of his arrows had achieved the effect of the mission.
While Abel was studying the circle in front of him, his mount wolf king didn't stop. It was about to rush out of the circle.
The 4 orc priests waved their hands, and skeletons were summoned from their portal objects. Afterward, a priest in a black robe waved a small bone magic staff, and a spell pattern appeared in the air. Afterward, a row of bone walls appeared in front of the mount wolf king.
If it wasn't for the fact that the mount wolf king had better control over its body, it would've directly rushed into the bone walls.
Afterward, a red light appeared on top of Abel's head. Traces of curse rain fell, and the light of curse appeared on his body.
"Bone wall, weaken!" Abel's heart skipped a beat. The bone wall was an intermediate priest spell, which meant that there was at least one intermediate priest among the 4 priests.
The 'weakening' curse directly reduced his attack power by a third, and the 'bone wall' directly restricted his path forward. It was clear that these 10 orcs were all focused on defense, and they didn't want him to get close to the defensive circle.
All he had to do was drag it out until reinforcements arrived. Especially since Abel just showed his powerful archery skills, the orcs decided not to fight him head-on. Instead, they decided to wait for reinforcements.
20 seconds had passed, and Abel didn't have much time left. He was strong, but he wasn't invincible.
If he was surrounded by the beastmen, it would be very dangerous. He didn't want to put himself in danger. He gave himself a time limit. If he couldn't get close to the beastmen's war drum within 60 seconds, then he would retreat.
At that thought, the Riphook in his hand disappeared. It was replaced by the Iron sword and the Ancient pledge shield. The best thing to do now was to fight in close range.
"Jump!" Abel commanded the mount wolf king, and the mount wolf king jumped up. It wanted to jump over the bone wall, but this was a very risky move. It had no defense in the air.
As expected, when the mount wolf king jumped up, 4 bone spears completely blocked its path. Luckily, these orc priests didn't want to directly hurt their mounts, so none of the bone spears were aimed at the mount wolf king.
"I hit the jackpot. All 4 orc priests are intermediate priests!" A thought flashed through Abel's mind. He focused his attention on the four bone spears that were flying towards him. The world began to slow down.
The 10 orcs were stunned as they watched Abel's body slightly shake in the air. The 4 bone spears that were locked onto Abel with their power of the will all missed.
The bone spears were the main ranged attack of an intermediate orc priest. Under the guidance of their power of the will, it was almost impossible for them to miss. However, Abel easily dodged the bone spears.
By this point, the mount wolf king had already jumped over the bone wall and arrived outside the defensive circle. The grey death qi barrier blocked his way.
Just when the 10 orcs thought Abel would be blocked outside the defensive circle, he gave up on the mount wolf king and jumped towards the defensive circle.
Just when the beastmen thought that he was seeking death, because once he pounced on the barrier, he would be eroded by the death aura of the barrier. However, he miraculously passed through the barrier. It was as if there was a hole in the barrier that allowed him to pass through.
Actually, Abel only wrapped his power of the will around his body, so the death qi that approached him was directly guided into the sub-soul of the Druil. The death qi was guided into the sub-soul without doing anything. Therefore, in the eyes of the orcs, he just went through the barrier.
If this was not a death qi barrier but some other elemental barrier, he would not be able to pass through it so easily. The sub-soul of the Druil in his head was like a giant vacuum cleaner to death qi and life qi. As long as his power of the will formed an energy channel, the power of the will would be sucked in.
"Quick, kill him!" A black-cloaked priest yelled. His voice was like a dry tree branch rubbing against each other.
32 skeletons rushed over, but the 4 head wolf rider captains quickly backed off and blocked in front of the orc priest.
Abel no longer had a mount wolf. If it was before, he still had the biggest weakness of a knight, which was that his movement speed would be greatly reduced without a mount.
However, he already had 51 points of agility. The limit for humans was 50 points. Although it was only a little bit more, he could feel a huge increase in speed.
He weaved his body in and out of the skeletons that were rushing towards him. Sometimes, he would turn his body slightly, sometimes he would move back, sometimes he would move forward. None of those skeletons could hit him.
By that point, Abel could hear the sound of the orcs' reinforcements. They were very close. They would arrive in 30 seconds, but he was still surrounded by skeletons.
A strange smile emerged on his face under the mask, and a strange spell pattern appeared in his hand.
"Careful, he is about to cast a spell!" That dry voice emerged again, reminding the orcs.
At that moment, 2 bearmen and 4 head wolf Knight captains were the first line of defense in front of the orc battle drum. The 4 orc priests were the second line of defense. In a normal person's eyes, there was no way they could break through this defense in 30 seconds.
Abel's spell pattern disappeared, and a dark cloud appeared on top of the orcs, covering their bodies in a flash.
