Chapter 540 - World Stone
540 World Stone
But, he just did not have any armor with 6 armholes. He had to make one special for Naga.
Abel preserved all the spirit guardian knights. They had just been summoned, but they all inherited Abel’s self-defense and knight skills. Still, they were not as experienced in battle as his old ones, so it would take some time.
The only thing that was in Abel’s mind was what special ability Naga had. Those 4 extra arms on it’s back was not just for show, right?
Naga sensed Abel’s thoughts, so it began to gather up a green glowing ball with the 4 arms behind it. Afterward, the ball dashed forward, and a green smog of poison gas erupted.
Although Abel didn’t know how powerful the poison was, poison was the scariest thing in the Holy Continent. Only a small amount of Orc Deities would research into it. Therefore, a Poison attack was a rare yet powerful kind of attack.
The poison antidote in the Holy Continent was light years behind the poison antidote in the Dark World. At most, they could only ease the pain. So one’s performance in a battle would definitely be affected if they were poisoned. Poison was a reflection of hopelessness in the Holy Continent.
Most of the Deities who did research in poisons had died from side effects, so only a small number of them could use powerful poison attacks.
“Not bad!” Abel suddenly thought of the crack between Andariel’s eyes, but when he turned towards her served head, the crack vanished.
He walked towards Andariel’s served head and carefully examined it. Her face was dried up. Her body was supported by countless souls. Since those souls had now been freed, her true appearance came to life.
But, that annoying crack between her eyes had completely vanished from her dried-up face.
Abel took out his Jade Tan Do again. He was about to cut open her skull, but he was worried if he would be struck by more poison attacks. So safety first.
There were no poison attacks. The only thing was that Andariel had an extraordinarily thick skull, her skin was ok, but it still gave Abel a hard time.
She had thick bones. If Abel had not used the force of dimension, he probably wouldn’t have been able to cut her.
He unleashed his combat qi onto his Jade Tan Do and plunged down in full force. The skull began to crack, and Abel followed up immediately. After 10 strikes, the skull finally split into two.
But, Andariel’s head was completely empty. The only thing that caught Abel’s attention was a damaged blue crystal. It looked like it was only a small piece from a bigger crystal.
Abel carried the damaged crystal near the eternal flame of hell and closely examined it. The crystal first began to flash in countless sparkles, and then those sparkles began to move. It looked like he was staring into a night full of stars.
After the starry sparkles disappear, a patch of darkness emerged within the crystal, followed by the vision of a piece of land emerging from a distance. At first, Abel didn’t know what it was, but as it got closer, Abel realized it was the Rogue Encampment.
If god was real, what he just saw must be god’s perspective. He was stunned like never before.
“What is this crystal?”
“Andariel put this crystal between her eyes. What power does it have?”
Abel had countless questions, but he couldn’t answer any of them. But he knew one thing: this damaged crystal core was very important.
Not only from his intuition, but his druid soul also came to the same conclusion. Unlike the main soul, the druid soul was not conscious. Its calculations were not affected by bias, so it was very accurate.
“Sure, it’s important, but what does this thing do?” Abel thought to himself as he placed the crystal between his eyes. That was what Andariel’s had done after all.
Nothing happened. Just as Abel was about to laugh at himself, his hand twitched, and the crystal made contact with his skin.
All of a sudden, the damaged crystal lost control. Sparkles began to emerge, and Abel felt himself losing control as well. His hand helplessly fell away from the crystal, but the crystal did not drop.
Instead, the crystal was glued to Abel’s forehead and began press further down. The crystal plunged into his skin, and blood gushed out.
Abel’s fresh blood was recharging the crystal. Its glow began to get even brighter and increased its speed. It was hard to imagine what a thumb-sized crystal entering the skull of a person would look like.
Abel witnessed all of this take place just in front of his eyes. He felt extreme horror.
But that didn’t last for long. The crystal had soon fully entered Abel’s skull, and the glow began to spread throughout his body. His horror was replaced with immense pain. He wanted to scream, but he felt like he lost the ability to scream.
He reached the limit of a normal human being. He felt like he was about to explode. Every strand of his muscles felt like they were being torn apart, and every inch of his bones felt like they were being crushed.
Abel realized that crystal was not suitable for humans to use, yet his stupidly brave mind told him to put it between his eyes.
The sound of muscle tearing and bones being started to get louder and louder. He felt like his body was going to be ripped to pieces by this crystal.
He had fallen onto the ground, and his body wouldn’t stop twitching from the cracking bones.
Just when Abel felt hopelessness dawning upon him, he felt familiar energy rushing from within. All of a sudden, his muscles were repaired, and his bones started to grow again.
The power of the dragon core had saved him once again, and soon it had fully recovered his body. Maybe it was even stronger than before.
The crystal glow began to fade. It seemed like Abel had passed the test. All of the agony in his body was washed away like water, and an indescribable freshness emerged.
Afterward, Abel received a large amount of data. He knew what that crystal was.
This damage crystal was a tiny bit of the world stone of the Dark World. According to legends, it was made from the eye of a god; it was the foundation stone of the Dark World. During the war of the Dark World back in the days, this world stone was responsible for suppressing all of humanity’s power. At the same time, it also limited the power of heaven and hell. Therefore, the war of the Dark World had never gotten out of hand.
When the war had ended, Hell no longer needed those pure souls from humans, and heaven had also left. From then on, this place was no longer suitable for hell demons.
The world stone was too powerful, and none of those hell demons could withstand it. Therefore, the world stone divided itself into five pieces, each replacing the soul of a powerful hell demon and gained full control over their body.
