Chapter 282 - Rocky Wilderness
Chapter 282 Rocky Wilderness
Since the enemies have high resistances to specific elemental damage, it was better to include 4 different types of damage. Therefore, at least some damage would be guaranteed.
Of course, the Spirit guardian knight captain, previously Rib Bone 1, was special. It wielded 2 different swords: an ice magic sword and a fire magic sword. The type of enhancement decided the sword choice. When enhanced by ice, it would use an ice magic sword, and the fire sword when enchanted by fire.
Abel had spent seven days creating the 5 sets of armor. If it weren’t for the incredibly strong hellfire, Abel’s incredible power, and abnormal constitution, it would have taken much longer.
The 3 spirit guardian knights were mounted on spirit wolves, covered head to toe in full black armor. Their weapons had also been blackened, emitting an aura of mysteriousness.
The resurrection of skeletons was now level 6; the skeleton limit had been raised to 4. But due to the lack of corpses, there were only 3 summoned. Abel had wanted to go to the cold plains to test out his new equipment and summons.
Using a waypoint, Abel had arrived at the Cold Plains on Black Wind. He had already abolished the largest tribe. All that was left were a few scattered corrupt spear-women and corrupt huntresses.
Using the corpse of a corrupt spear-woman he had just killed, he had summoned the fourth skeleton. After combining it with a newly summoned spirit wolf, he set off with all summons.
His summons could be viewed as an army. The ravens would do the scouting. The spirit guardian knights and spirit wolves were constantly flashing around him. The poison creeper was tunnelings beneath him. Lastly, the oak sage was levitating right beside him, raising the health of Abel and all his summons.
Whenever a hell creature appeared, it was swiftly dealt with by his army of summons. Abel did not even have to lift a finger.
Finally, Abel felt control over the Dark world. Previously, in order to deal with normal hell creatures, he would have to spend all his mana. However, circumstances have now changed; 2 hits from the 5 spirits wolves of level 6 would be more than enough to deal with these normal hell creatures.
On the other hand, the poison creeper acted as an assassin, appearing out of the ground seemingly randomly, disappearing after poisoning them, then appearing on its next target.
The spirit guardian knights had impressed Abel the most due to their full suit of armor. Low-level hell creatures had no chance of going through their defense and hurting them. Furthermore, they had a wide array of attacks. They used long-ranged elemental Harry bow to attack, and flashed into close range and used the long spear. Even their spirit wolf mounts would attack from time to time. The abilities of the level 6 spirit guardian knights could already match the level 15 spirit wolves. Since the resurrection of skeletons would continue to rise in levels, the spirit guardian knights would no doubt surpass the spirit wolves.
Currently, Black Wind was already traveling at half speed. Abel had discovered even at this speed, both spirit guardians knights and spirit wolves were able to keep up with Black Wind. Even after killing the hell creatures that appeared, they were able to catch up to Black Wind once again.
Obviously, the oak sage and the ravens weren’t slow since they could fly. Even the burrowing poison creeping was able to keep up with Black wind at half speed.
After 2 days, Abel, along with his army of 16 summons, had reached the end of the Cold Plain. Their only guide was the faint remains of a road. This was a checkpoint. There were slashes left behind from the battles ages ago, revealing the experiences it had been through.
After going through a long passageway, Abel had reached a vast and unobstructed view. This was probably the rocky wilderness.
While in the middle of his thoughts, Abel had sensed danger in front. All of a sudden, a flurry of arrows came his way. All his summons were avoiding it in their own manner.
The arrows posed no threat to the ravens. All they had to do was retreat further into the sky. After escaping the reach of the arrows, they flew towards the source.
The poison creeper burrows into the ground, easily avoiding the arrows.
The spirit wolves and spirit guardian knights disappeared, reappearing at the edge of the arrow’s range. The spirit wolves continually flash towards the source of the arrows, whereas the spirit guardian knights equipped the elemental harry bows, firing back at the source.
As Abel saw the flurry of arrows, all his summons had left him. He was all that was left of his army of summons. The only one left was the oak sage, who cowered behind Abel.
The obvious move was to utilize black wind’s move in a flash to escape the barrage of arrows. However, it would leave the defenseless oak sage to fend for itself, so he gave up the thought of running away. Though his armor rendered the arrow useless, he still had to protect Black Wind. Taking out a great magic shield from his portal bag, he covers Black wind’s weak spots. As an official soul beast, Black wind had a high defense. As long as the arrows missed his weak spots, Black wind wouldn’t sustain much damage.
“Pitter-patter” the arrows hit the shield like raindrops, not dealing any damage to Abel. Though a few stray arrows had hit his body through gaps in his armor, it did not manage to pierce his defense.
The ravens flew into the territory of the corrupt wanderers, formed by fallen rogues. These rogues were the few that weren’t corrupted by the aura of hell and were able to retain their bow knowledge, attacking their enemies from afar.
The hundreds of corrupt wanderers didn’t react to the infiltrations of the ravens. Only the ones that were harassed by the ravens stopped what they were doing and switched targets.
Up next were the bow-wielding spirit guardian knights, returning fire with harry bows in hand. The difference in equipment was clear, no matter the range or accuracy, the harry bow surpassed the bows the corrupted wanderers were using. Hitting every single shot, the area of the corrupted wanderers were experiencing the magic damage of 4 different elements.
The ones that were genuinely messing with the corrupted wanderers were the 5 spirit wolves that also had infiltrated. The spirit wolves, flashing around, had completely broken their formation. Some of them retreated to create some space, others wanted to charge forwards to attack the spirit wolves. But as soon as the arrow left their hands, their targets were already gone.
The flash ability of spirit wolves had shown their greatest strength. Though they weren’t able to quickly wipe out the corrupt wanderers, in a few moments, they were able to cause chaos in the whole battlefield.
The poison creeper appeared above ground constantly, rubbing against their bodies, leaving behind bodies of the corrupted wanderers who’d turned green due to the poison. Slowly but surely, more and more of them had been poisoned.
The bowmen were helpless against enemies in close range. However, as they try to create space, they realized the enemies were much faster. The gap they created before had gone, once again, engaged in melee combat.
