According to the legends, Horazon the Summoner had built a secret sanctuary under the palace. He also controlled a large number of demons to guard it for him. The place where Abel appeared was none other than Horazon's secret sanctuary.
Abel cautiously appeared from the portal. The spirit guardian Knight was by his side, and the mud monster was in front of him.
He was on a platform. It was very small. There was only a portal and a staircase that led downwards. Outside the platform was a void, and stars kept flashing in the void.
He poked his head out to take a look. He was sure that if he fell from here, he would fall into an unknown void and never return.
He followed the staircase down and arrived at a larger square platform. Abel saw a little teleportation station.
He took out 2 perfect gems and placed them on it. He activated the teleportation station with his power of the Will. A white light flashed in the teleportation station, and 2 beams of energy showed that it was working properly.
The little teleportation station was activated, so he could teleport directly from Lut Gholein to here.
On the four sides of the square platform, there was a tunnel. Outside the square platform and the tunnel, there was still a void.
It could be seen that the entire mysterious sanctuary was built in the void. Hell used the portal to enter the underground of the royal palace, and the underground of the royal palace was attacked by hell creatures.
Only one of the four directions led to where Horazon the Summoner was. Abel didn't know the real direction, so he could only try one direction at a time.
Picking a random passage, he teleported forward. Although the void around him looked dangerous, it also limited the attacks of the hell creatures. The passage was only big enough for two hell creatures to walk side by side. This ensured his safety to a certain extent.
He soon encountered the first group of hell creatures. They were the hell creatures.
The hell creatures were physical creatures. Even if they didn't have any elemental attacks, their damage was still not to be underestimated.
Luckily, Abel's firewall did a lot of damage to them. The 10 hell creatures were blocked by the spirit guardian Knight. They could only fight with the spirit guardian Knight while being burned by the firewall.
The 2 spirit guardian knights at the front only needed to deal with 2 hell creatures, and they could easily kill all of them. This made the process of killing hell creatures very easy.
The hell creatures' weapon was a scythe. No one in the Holy Continent would use a scythe like this. After being polluted by hell, its surface was very rusty. There was no value in collecting it.
Apart from their souls, the Hell Clan couldn't provide him with anything else.
As he continued forward, he saw a platform. A spirit guardian Knight flashed onto the platform. Suddenly, a bunch of short spikes shot out from the stone surface of the platform.
Luckily, the spirit guardian Knight was the first to trigger this mechanism. The mechanism hurt it a little, but it didn't affect its ability to move.
If he accidentally stepped on it, even with the healing potion, Black Wind would've been stabbed, and his legs would've been injured by all those spikes.
Just the thought of being pierced by these short thorns that had existed for countless years made one's hair stand on end.
He carefully observed the ground. The only ones with traps were the small holes on the stone surface. There were no traps on the smooth stone surface.
After discovering this, the traps were no longer a threat. He carefully avoided them. There was another tunnel in front of him.
Just when Abel was about to continue forward, a group of evil spirits flew towards him from the void.
It was a soul type hell creature that could absorb mana. The spirit guardian knights swung their steel swords towards the demon soul, but the swords only grazed past the body of the demon soul. They did not land a hit on its body.
"Physical attacks are ineffective." This was a special condition. It was normal for spirits like the evil spirits to be in this condition.
However, wizards like Abel were the nemesis of evil spirits. Of course, he had to have a group of good summons as a shield. Evil spirits could absorb mana. Once they got close, a wizard's mana would be drained instantly.
Lightning spells were the most effective against spirits. A "chain of lightning" spell pattern flashed on Abel's weapon and shield. Two "chain of lightning" strikes were fired towards the evil spirits.
The evil spirits let out a soul-shaking howl. If there was a normal person here, they would've been hurt by this howl. However, Abel's soul was powerful, so he wasn't affected at all.
Soul attacks were the hardest to defend against. The howl of the evil spirits was the howl of the soul, and the target was the soul.
However, only Abel had a soul. The spirit guardian Knight and the mud monster were all summons. Their souls were bound to Abel. As long as the soul attack didn't break through Abel's soul defense, it wouldn't do any damage to their souls.
Since the evil spirits were of a different attribute, they didn't do much damage to Abel. Under the "chain of lightning," their life force was quickly drained. They turned into specks of light, and their essence was absorbed into the Hradik cube to become the nourishment for the "soul potion."
Abel didn't use his "move in a flash." The void around him made him feel safer. On top of that, his power of the will was limited to 100 meters. He thought it would be safer to ride on Black Wind's back and let the spirit guardian Knight explore the path.
After some more hell creatures died, Abel found another platform. Just when the spirit guardian Knight in front of him was about to step onto the platform, a bolt of lightning struck towards the spirit guardian Knight.
This bolt of lightning was too fast. Although his intuition was warning him, lightning was the fastest elemental attack. It didn't disappear after it flashed past the spirit guardian Knight. Instead, it went through the spirit guardian Knight and shot towards Abel.
Abel's "Pledge of the Ancients" shield canceled out a part of the power of the lightning, but the rest of the elemental damage still paralyzed his body. His body began to tremble.
Furthermore, he also smelled the burnt smell of electricity coming from his body after being hit by the electric light. As his body was paralyzed, although these injuries were caused, the pain did not spread to his brain for a while.
However, a second after his Druil soul was struck by the lightning, a purple "full recovery potion" was taken out from his belt. The burnt marks on his body instantly disappeared, and his body returned to its original state.
Of course, the paralysis didn't disappear, but it automatically disappeared in the next second.
"Damn it, there's a lightning spiral mechanism!" Abel cursed under his breath. The only way to deal with this kind of lightning mechanism was to quickly get close and smash the lightning spiral mechanism.
In front of the lightning spiral, slowly moving forward was not a viable option. During this time, the Druil soul had already used a few bottles of "full recovery potion" on the spirit guardian Knight.
"Move in a flash." Abel's power of the Will wrapped around the 8 spirit guardian Knight and the mud monster. Afterward, he was teleported to the platform.
As expected, there was a pillar flashing with lightning at the corner of the platform. The crystal ball on top was replenishing its energy. Once it was replenished, it would unleash an elemental attack.
Without Abel's command, the 8 spirit guardian Knight flashed around the lightning spiral and quickly slashed towards it.
With the lightning spiral as the center, it suddenly unleashed a wave of lightning in all directions. The range of the lightning was only 5 meters, but it was enough to cover all 8 spirit guardian Knight.
The 8 spirit guardian Knight slowed down, and the paralysis was unavoidable. Luckily, every time the lightning spiral attacked, it would replenish its energy.
In the end, the lightning spiral was a mechanism. Every time it attacked, it would need to replenish its energy from the crystal ball. This gave the spirit guardian Knight a chance to attack.
Naga threw out a green ball of light. Although the green poisonous fog wrapped around the lightning spiral, it didn't do any damage. It was a mechanism, after all. How could it be damaged by poison?
Abel also tried to attack with "lightning," but he realized that the powerful electric element in the "lightning" also didn't do any damage to the lightning spiral.
Poison and electric elements were ineffective, and the Lightning Spiral was immune to damage from both elements. However, he quickly switched to the 'Firewall' spell.
As the crystal ball on top of the lightning spiral broke, the lightning on the surface of the lightning spiral also disappeared. Only a pillar was left.
Abel stopped the spirit guardian Knight from continuing to attack. He came to the side of the lightning spiral that had stopped and carefully examined the mechanism.
On the surface of the lightning spiral pillar, there were many patterns. These patterns were obviously in the style of hell. Abel didn't understand most of them, but he discovered the existence of the recognition circle.
At the same time, he also realized that the broken crystal ball wasn't a real crystal ball. It was the attack point of the circle that was activated by energy.
When the attack point of the circle was attacked, the energy in the lightning spiral was directly destroyed.
When Abel checked, he found a damaged "flawless topaz" at the bottom of the lightning spiral. He tried to use his power of the will to communicate with the circle, but he realized that the circle had already recognized a new master. If he didn't kill the previous master, it wouldn't recognize a new master.
The lightning spiral in front of him was 3 meters tall. It wasn't fixed to the ground. Instead, it was placed directly on the ground. Now that the energy was cut off, the circle stopped working.
This made it easy for him to lift the lightning spiral from the ground and put it in his portal object. As long as the lightning spiral recognized a new master, it would be very convenient to protect important areas. Its damage was very high. At least with his current electric resistance, he wouldn't be able to block the lightning spiral's attack.
Abel was very excited to get a lightning spiral. Although he didn't use it yet, once he killed the summoner, Horazon, the lightning spiral would recognize him as its master.
Afterward, 10 fireballs flew towards the spirit guardian Knight at the front. When the spirit guardian knight saw the fireballs, it immediately made a standard defensive move. With the "ancient pledge" shield and the spirit guardian knight's natural defense and resistance, the fireballs only took away half of its health.
This was also because the passage was very narrow. It was impossible for a large number of hell creatures to surround the spirit guardian Knight. Even long-range hell creatures couldn't focus their attacks in this kind of environment.
The hell creature in front of him was a ghoul king. It was a magic type hell creature that had mastered fire attacks. Its fire attack was not weak, and it was immune to ice spells.
The best way to deal with this kind of long-range hell creature was to get close to it so that it couldn't cast any spells.
When the spirit guardian Knight got close to him, Abel flashed behind the spirit guardian Knight. The spirit guardian Knight blocked the fireballs flying towards him. At the same time, he activated the "chain of lightning" spell pattern on his weapons and shields.
He liked to use lightning spells because the numbing effect could make his opponent unable to fight back for a while. This allowed the spirit guardian Knight to attack as much as he wanted.
This passage was very big in the shape of a sun. Abel chose the path on the left and killed his way forward. Although there were lightning spirals blocking his way from time to time, they only gave him a chance to collect a few more.
Abel had to fight tens of battles every day, so his speed was very fast. It took him more than 10 days in the Holy Continent to reach the deepest part of this passage.
The platform in front of him only had an extra box. It was no different from the other platforms. It seemed like this path was wrong. This was not the place where Horazon the Summoner lived.
He was not discouraged. Instead, he killed his way back from the right side of the "sun" structure. His goal was to get more lightning spirals.
There were souls to be gained from killing hell creatures, and there were even more lightning spirals this time. Abel was very excited, but it still took him more than 10 days in the Holy Continent to get back to the teleportation station.
He had a total of 40 lightning spirals. These lightning spirals were very useful, but he couldn't analyze their materials, so he couldn't copy them.
Unless he got the metallurgical formula of the lightning spirals, there was no way he could make them. Not to mention, he couldn't study the patterns on the lightning spirals.
However, the 40 lightning spirals were enough to greatly increase the security of some of his important places. With the lightning spirals, even elite priests would be in big trouble if they weren't careful.
It was September in the Holy Continent. Abel had been stuck at the rank 11 bottleneck for a whole month. He had been so busy fighting that he didn't feel like he was going to level up.
The atmosphere in the Holy Continent was very tense. September was the beginning of the harvest season. Most of the crops were harvested during this time, but the reality had disappointed everyone again. These crops had also decreased in production.
Everyone knew that if they didn't have enough food in storage during the autumn harvest, then what awaited them would be a cold and harsh winter. During the winter, they wouldn't be able to use other plants to make up for the lack of food like during the summer and autumn.
The only way to survive in the winter was to store food. The cold winter made all the crops lose their growing environment.
Food became the most serious problem in the Holy Continent. Of course, this didn't have much to do with Abel. He was still clearing out hell creatures in the Mysterious Sanctuary to find where Horazon the Summoner was.
Abel felt like he had used up all his luck. After going through 3 other directions, he was finally sure that Horazon the Summoner was in the last one.
The path in this direction was not connected. It was broken from time to time, and at the end of the broken path was a flashing red teleportation door.
He still let the mud monster to explore this kind of teleportation door. Out of all his summons, only the mud monster didn't have much attack power. Its main purpose was to slow down hell creatures and act as a shield in front of him.
He didn't dare to enter a portal that was flashing with red light. Who knew if there would be any problems with the portal after tens of thousands of years? If there was even the slightest mistake, this endless void could be the final teleportation point.
He already had experience dealing with the hell creatures here, so they weren't much of a threat. The only thing he was worried about was the teleportation gate, but he had the mud monster checking it out.
He could sense the mud monster's status through the soul connection. He would only go through the teleportation door when the mud monster told him that it was on the ground.
Abel continued forward and retrieved a few more lightning spirals. After passing through countless flashing red teleportation doors, he finally saw a giant platform not far away.
If he wanted to get to the platform, he would have to go through a few flights of stairs and narrow passages. He followed the principle of safety first, so he commanded the spirit guardian Knight to explore in the front while he followed behind.
The spirit guardian Knight in the front had just come down a flight of stairs. It was probably in the attack range of Horazon. Countless ice crystals flew towards it with long tails. The ice resistance of the Ancient's pledge shield was not enough to block these ice crystals.
That spirit guardian Knight was frozen in place. If it wasn't for the fact that its body was a few times stronger than a human's, it would've been shattered into pieces.
Even so, Abel's Druil soul had to continuously replenish 2 bottles of full recovery potion to the spirit guardian Knight. That was how it survived this round of spell attacks.
As soon as Abel saw this, he knew that Horazon's best option was to engage in a close-range battle with a powerful wizard, especially one that was a dark gold commander of hell. Its life force was way higher than his, and its ice attacks were way more powerful than his.
He flashed and teleported the frozen spirit guardian Knight, the other 7 spirit guardian Knights, and the mud monster to the giant platform.
As soon as they appeared on the platform, a bunch of hell creatures rushed towards them before they could even look around. The Ghoul King's fireball was also flying towards them from behind.
Abel didn't dare to change the "ancient pledge" shield in his left hand and the "iron" sword in his right hand into a magic staff. After so many dangerous situations, he knew that the "ancient pledge" shield was a life-saving item in a dark world where elemental attacks were everywhere.
He had the Full Recovery Vitality Potion. As long as he could survive a hit, he could use the Full Recovery Vitality Potion to recover.
Before he stepped on this huge platform, he had already anticipated all kinds of dangers. Therefore, he kept the 'move in a flash' spell in front of the 'ancient pledge' shield in his left hand. Just as those fireballs were flying towards him, the 'move in a flash' spell was activated.
He directly teleported to the center of the Ghoul King with his summons. The most powerful spirit guardian Knight captain appeared next to Horazon.
The hell creatures turned around and continued to charge towards Abel. Without the threat of long-range attacks, Abel went all out.
Ever since the spirit guardian Knight could no longer kill the hell creatures quickly, Abel's wizard spells had become the main force of the battle.
After 3 months of spell practice in the Holy Continent, all of his spells had reached the max level. His spell damage had reached a terrifying level. When he went all out, this kind of spell damage became even more visible.
Under his control, Black Wind quickly arrived in the middle of a group of Ghoul Kings. As long as it was close enough, the combat power of these Ghoul Kings would be greatly reduced.
On top of that, he had the broken ice armor, combat qi armor, and rune word full defense, so he could completely block the close range attacks of those Ghoul King.
In front of the 'Ancient Pledge' shield in his left hand, the 'Chain Lightning' spell pattern flashed. Then, a bolt of lightning struck towards the first hell clan that was charging towards him, and nine of them were paralyzed on the spot.
Since the hell creatures at the back were stopped, some of them wanted to push away their paralyzed comrades, and some wanted to dodge.
Pushing away a paralyzed comrade was a very bad decision, because the paralyzing effect of the lightning damage was caused by the Hell Clan member in front of the Hell Clan member. If the Hell Clan member behind the Hell Clan member pushed the Hell Clan member, they would also be paralyzed.
Since the hell creatures were trying to dodge, their speed was affected, and the second chain of lightning had arrived.
At the same time, Abel's right hand was not idle. The lightning spell "new star" was ignited at the tip of his "iron" sword. With him as the center, all the ghoul kings within a radius of ten meters were struck by the lightning ring.
Although the attack power of the 'new star' spell wasn't strong, its speed was too fast. There was almost no gap between the two 'new star' spells, and with the paralysis effect of the lightning spell, the surrounding ghoul kings kept swaying in place.
It was not that Abel didn't want to use the frost new star spell. It could slow down all the hell creatures around it, and the main point was that it consumed a lot less mana.
However, the Ghoul Kings were immune to ice spells, so the frost new star spell lost its effect.
With both hands and extreme casting speed, he quickly cleared out all the hell creatures on the platform. Only Horazon was left.
Horazon had switched to a more powerful fire element attack. Giant fireballs kept exploding on the spirit guardian Knight captain. The spirit guardian Knight captain was the strongest out of the 8 spirit guardian knights.
Because of the large amount of "soul potions" and "ability potions," the spirit guardian Knight captain's defense had already exceeded the highest attributes of "skeleton resurrection" and "skeleton control."
With the Druil soul continuously healing it with "light healing potions," it was able to resist Horazon. Of course, the main reason was that Horazon was getting close to it.
When the spirit guardian Knight captain got close to it, Horazon could only cast one spell out of every 3 to 4 times. Also, a "damage amplification" curse appeared on top of Horazon's head.
This made the spirit guardian Knight captain's attack affect Horazon's spellcasting even more. Although Horazon wanted to distance itself from it, it was only a wizard, and it did not know how to move in a flash.
Maybe Horazon's lightning spell ability had disappeared after it joined hell. It was only left with fire and ice spells. Although those spells were strengthened by hell, they had lost the most important life-saving ability of a wizard.
With that kind of movement ability, there was no way it could escape from the spirit guardian Knight captain's attack.
After all the hell creatures were cleared out, the other 7 spirit guardian knights surrounded Horazon. On top of that, the mud monster was standing not too far away from Horazon, so Horazon could no longer cast a spell normally.
Abel could almost see what happened to him not long ago. He kept getting interrupted, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. Horazon the summoner was like this, but it was not as lucky as him. It did not have a good mount that could perform "instantaneous movement."
As Abel's "lightning" spell joined in, Horazon completely lost its ability to fight back. Even though it was eroded by the evil energy of hell and its mind was a little sluggish, it was still a little scared in the face of death.
The summoner, Horazon, screamed. His heart was filled with unwillingness. He had joined hell and gained an almost immortal body, but hell had abandoned him and the world.
Now, it could only die helplessly. This world was no longer controlled by hell, so it could not be revived.
Horazon fell. When it died, its eyes were still filled with longing for this world.
When Horazon the Summoner fell, Abel was the one who was not satisfied. As a dark gold commander of hell, Horazon the Summoner only provided Abel with a part of its soul. There was no golden energy to be absorbed into the Horadric cube, so there was no "ability potion."
After working so hard for so long and spending so many months, they still didn't get anything from the Dark Gold Commander.
Abel was not happy. He walked up and gently poked Horazon's body with his "iron" sword. Suddenly, he realized there were some dark gold lightning arcs flowing on the robe on Horazon's body.
Although the hellish creatures looked dazzling when they were alive, that was only because of the hellish energy. Once the hellish creatures died, their original appearance would be revealed.
On the other hand, the robe on Horazon's body still had that mysterious dark gold energy. Abel couldn't help but feel happy. This was an unexpected find.
He could tell that the robe on Horazon's corpse was a dark gold robe. Only a robe of this quality would have such a lustrous appearance.
He stepped forward and carefully took off the dark gold magic robe from Horazon. As soon as it left Horazon's body, the dark gold magic robe automatically flashed in a dark gold light. After that, all the stains and the smell of hell creatures on the robe disappeared.
