Abel took a deep breath. He was about to face Mephistopheles for real. He patted Black Wind lightly.
"Old friend, let's go meet this legendary demon!" Abel chuckled, and Black Wind responded with a soft howl.
Mephistopheles was a legendary demon. Abel found a book in Port Kurast that recorded the legend of Mephistopheles.
Mephistopheles was a captive demon from hell. In order to restrain it, people used a soul stone to suppress it. In turn, Mephistopheles controlled the soul stone that imprisoned it. Through the soul stone, Mephistopheles controlled the entire Zakarum Church.
Only the leader of the Zakarum Church, Khalim, was able to resist Mephistopheles' power, but he was killed by Mephistopheles' puppets in the end.
The demon that had wreaked havoc in Port Kurast for countless years was finally going to meet it.
Black Wind went through a doorless tunnel and entered a platform that was heavily decorated in the style of the Zakarum Church. There was a symbol of the Zakarum Church on the ground, and all kinds of holy images were drawn on the ground and walls.
However, the place was now stained with blood. The original holiness was nowhere to be seen. Only traces of desecration were left.
Of course, Abel wasn't a believer. He wasn't angry about this, but it was a pity that the beauty of the place was destroyed.
As soon as he stepped on the platform, loud laughter rang out. It seemed to be Mephistopheles' habit, but Abel could tell that there was no emotion in it.
Abel activated the ability of the world stone fragment almost immediately. The dynamic vision and data analysis ability gave him enough time to react.
Then, he released his mental power completely, and everything within a radius of 600 meters was within his mental power's range.
In his power of the will, Mephistopheles had a pair of bull horns on its head, which symbolized its status as a demon. Its arms were completely made of bones, and there was no flesh on them.
Two scorpion tail-like arms extended from its back, giving 'Mephisto' four arms.
Behind it was a slender tail. Its body was wrapped in a cloud of energy mist, which provided it with an almost endless amount of energy.
What caught Abel's attention the most was the world stone fragment in Mephistopheles' eyes. It was glowing strangely, forming a sharp contrast with the lifeless eyes.
It was as if the 'world stone fragment' in the middle of Mephistopheles's eyes were the real eyes, while the pair of dead eyes were just decorations.
As soon as he scanned Mephistopheles with his power of the Will, it began to charge towards him. It was surrounded by a mist of energy that made it look like it was floating. It was so fast that it was almost as fast as a hell creature with an "extra fast" strengthening ability.
Abel immediately tensed up. He knew that he wasn't fighting the real Mephistopheles, but an even more terrifying Mephistopheles under the control of the world stone fragment.
Abel also had a world stone fragment, so he knew how terrifying its effects were, especially when the humanoid Mephistopheles could use words.
The one who struck first had the advantage. Before Mephistopheles could reach him, he had already begun to determine Mephistopheles's trajectory and cast an "aging" curse.
The "aging" curse was cast in Mephistopheles's direction, but Mephistopheles seemed to have expected it. Its body flashed quickly, and the "aging" curse missed.
Abel had expected this, too. It wasn't that easy to curse Mephistopheles. He teleported with Black Wind to the other side of the blood pool.
This was his second strategy. He would use the pool of blood to increase the distance between him and Mephistopheles, and then use his attack range to attack Mephistopheles from a greater distance than Mephistopheles to attack it.
Mephistopheles had the ability to use words. As long as it was close enough, it would activate. Abel had discovered this when he killed the demon queen Andariel.
He didn't dare to get too close to Mephistopheles, so he had been calculating the safe distance between him and Mephistopheles.
Mephistopheles stood by the blood pool and looked at Abel with dead eyes. The 'lightning' spell in its hand struck towards Abel.
Abel teleported even further away, and the invisibility cloak appeared on him. He didn't want to use the invisibility cloak to hide himself. With the world stone fragment, the cloak wasn't very useful.
What he needed was the mysterious circlet in the invisibility cloak. It could double his power of the mind, reaching a distance of 1,200 meters. He didn't need 1,200 meters. He only needed to stand 800 meters away to ensure his safety.
At 800 meters, Mephistopheles couldn't attack Abel at all.
Abel, on the other hand, could use all kinds of long-range spells to attack Mephistopheles.
Mephistopheles was a special demon. It had many spells: 'lightning,' 'charging bolt,' 'poison nova,' 'skeleton shot,' 'frost nova,' and 'blizzard.'
It could be said that Mephistopheles had many ways to attack. Combined with its energy fog, it was like a never-ending cannon.
However, its weakness was also very obvious. A wizard without the ability to move in a flash wasn't a real wizard. Although it was floating, it wasn't really floating, and it couldn't pass through the blood pool.
Abel still threw an 'aging' curse at Mephistopheles. Mephistopheles seemed to sense it and quickly moved to the side, dodging the rain of curses.
Abel then cast a 'lightning' spell. Mephistopheles also moved quickly and dodged it.
Abel then cast all kinds of spells. It didn't matter if it was a single target spell or a group spell, they were all perfectly dodged by Mephistopheles.
Eight hundred meters was enough to avoid Mephistopheles' attacks, but it also increased the range of the spells. With the advantage of speed and the control of the world stone fragment, eight hundred meters was enough for Mephistopheles to make all kinds of responses.
Abel couldn't help but stop casting. It was useless. He'd underestimated the power of the world stone fragment. Under its control, Mephistopheles couldn't be killed in this way.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with Mephistopheles, Mephistopheles spoke in a low voice, "I said, let me appear in front of my enemy!"
Suddenly, he sensed danger approaching with his intuition, so he quickly cast a spell with both hands. His left hand cast the "instantaneous movement," and his right hand cast the "aging" curse. First, he cast the "aging" curse on top of his head. Next, he flashed 1000 meters away.
Just as his body disappeared, a spatial hole appeared where his body had disappeared, and 'Mephisto's' body, shrouded in energy mist, walked out of the spatial hole.
What it didn't expect was that Abel would cast the 'aging' curse right before he left. Even with the world stone fragment's control, it couldn't avoid the rain of curses. When it walked out of the spatial hole, it walked right into the rain of curses.
How could Abel let go of this opportunity? The biggest advantage of the 'aging' curse was that it slowed Mephistopheles down to the speed of a turtle.
Abel and Mephistopheles stared at each other across the pool of blood. There was a kilometer of distance between them.
"Blizzard" and "lightning" appeared in his left and right hands at the same time as he unleashed them towards Mephistopheles. Mephistopheles's body began to twist strangely. It dodged the "lightning" spell first, but it couldn't dodge the "blizzard" spell that covered the entire area.
Abel realized that the "blizzard" was about to hit Mephistopheles, so he began to cast "blizzard" with both hands. The overlapping "blizzard" strengthened the power of this high-level ice spell.
Unfortunately, Mephistopheles didn't give him too much time. As the 'aging' curse disappeared, and he was about to cast another one, Mephistopheles left the range of the blizzard like a fish and charged at Abel.
Abel switched to another spell. The pattern of a priest's' bone wall 'flashed in his hands. The colorless energy in the Druil's soul quickly turned into death aura, and a bone wall appeared in front of Mephistopheles.
"Mephisto" quickly approached Abel, but the "bone wall" suddenly appeared in front of it, so it changed direction and tried to go around it.
However, Abel continued to cast bone walls around Mephistopheles, surrounding it in a sea of bone walls.
Then, he continued to cast a blizzard. Dark clouds appeared above Mephistopheles's head, and the world stone fragment in its eyes began to shine.
"I said, space is mine!" This time, Mephistopheles didn't use the world stone fragment to approach Abel directly. Maybe it was because Abel was far enough away, or maybe it had learned its lesson from last time.
About a hundred meters away from Abel, a spatial hole appeared, and Mephistopheles walked out.
It was a little different from before. Using the world stone fragment's ability continuously, and using a spatial ability that consumed a lot of energy, made the world stone fragment in its eyes dim a little.
This made Abel very happy. This was Mephistopheles's home ground, and he couldn't use any spells here. Otherwise, with the golden energy of the crystal angel statue as backup, he could directly imprison Mephistopheles. It wouldn't be so troublesome.
Once again, Abel used the "bone wall" to block in front of Mephistopheles. Then, he used the "bone wall" to surround it. This kind of unreasonable method made it impossible for Mephistopheles's precise calculations to take effect.
When Mephistopheles was once again surrounded by the sea of bone walls, dark clouds appeared above its head again, and the blizzard spell started to snow again.
Now, Mephistopheles could either use the world stone fragment's ability to leave through a spatial hole, or take the blizzard spell head-on.
In the end, it chose to use the world stone fragment's ability to open a spatial hole again.
Abel teleported a thousand meters away again and repeated the same actions. The world stone fragment's energy in Mephistopheles's eyes was slowly being consumed.
Although Mephistopheles had the world stone fragment's precise control, it didn't have its own intelligence. This made it a little mechanical when dealing with problems. It prioritized attacking the intruder and saving its own life, so it kept consuming the world stone fragment's energy.
Of course, this process was very time-consuming. Abel's body kept teleporting in this huge underground space. The mud monster and five immortal crows he brought with him had long since retreated from the battle.
The main reason was that Mephistopheles's attack power was too strong. The mud monster couldn't even take a single spell from it, and the immortal crows were said to be undying, but they also turned into ice balls and fell to the ground.
A day and a night passed, and Abel's face didn't look too good. He had long since started using the crystal angel statue's energy. He didn't know how the hell demons provided energy for the world stone fragment, but he had double the amount of energy in the world stone fragment. Without using the world stone fragment's ability, it couldn't compare to Mephistopheles's constant use of spatial energy.
If it weren't for the crystal angel statue's energy replenishment, he probably would've retreated from the battle long ago. Without the world stone fragment's help, he wouldn't fight Mephistopheles, who had the world stone fragment. He'd be trampled to death.
After all, it was only with the help of the world stone fragment that he could clearly see Mephisto's every move and react in time.
The world stone fragment's light in Mephistopheles's eyes was extremely dim, like a candle flame that could go out at any time.
