Abe the Wizard

Bartoli gently flicked her hand, and a wall of flame emerged in front of the Devilkins. They screamed in pain but oddly didn’t stop. They didn’t seem afraid of dying at all.

Abel’s Charging Bolt also unleashed a sea of lighting towards the Devilkins as the combat qi string on the top of his Sword of Victory kept chopping the life out of them.

However, Abel also realized something weird was going on. These Devilkins had gone insane. Their only target was Bartoli; they didn’t scatter in paranoia even if their teammates were killed.

The Devilkins trampled on their teammate’s dead body as they kept running towards the lightings and wall of flame. Since they were all quite weak in the first place, they almost died immediately as they made contact with the lightings and wall of flames. By this point, Abel’s summons had also started their massacre amongst the Devilkins.

Since Bartoli had signed a contract with Abel, her wall of flame could no longer do anything to Abel’s summons.

Soon all the Devilkins dropped dead. Now only sounds of burning flame remained on the fourth floor of this dungeon. Abel unleashed all his senses. He couldn’t sense them anymore.

Abel confusingly gazed at Bartoli, and Bartoli gazed back in confusion while shaking her head. It was the first time she had seen something like this as well.

They walked towards the third floor, but this time Abel no longer let Bartoli lead the way. Everything seemed normal; the place remained silence.

However, Abel and his team still remained in their battle formation and ready to fight. It was at that moment Bartoli stepped her foot on the third floor. Suddenly, the Devilkins screaming emerged again. The third floor was very small, and Abel was sure he had cleaned up most of it.

Around 40 Devilkins ran out. Their eyes were completely red as they frantically speeded towards Abel and his team. Able his lighting and Bartoli unleashed her wall of flames, but the Devilkins did not slow their strides. They all ran into it.

All 40 of them dropped dead immediately. Afterward, Abel looked at Bartoli and said, “You are cursed. If this curse was targeted towards all hell creatures, more of them will start to attack us on the next floor!”

“Maybe this is the price of betraying hell. Even though hell had given up this place, it’s shadows still lingers!” Bartoli’s eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. She thought she had already escaped the torture of hell, but the reality was just as cruel.

“Don’t worry. There weren’t many hell creatures left anyway. We can do it!” Abel said with a heart full of confidence.

“Master, even if we can get out, there are endless amounts of hell creatures in the open field. My curse will attract all of them to attack us, so just leave me here to die. I’m a burden. I lived for too long anyway, I don’t want to drag you down!” Bartoli said with a bow. After a roller coaster ride of emotions, it seemed like Bartoli had become numb to life and death.

“Open field!” Abel said with a weird look on his face. “Don’t worry, we will be safe once we leave the Forgotten Tower. If I don’t have teammates waiting for me outside, I can just bring you straight back to the Rogue Encampment with the Scroll of Town Portal.

“Oh, you have the challenger’s Scroll of Town Portal! Then I don’t have to worry!” Bartoli said as though a huge rock had been lifted off her. She knew the purpose of a Scroll of Town Portal. As long as she can reach the Rogue Encampment, She couldn’t care less if all the hell creatures in Blood Moor were surrounding her. Those hell creatures’ levels were way too low, no way they could break through her defense.

By this point, Abel realized Bartoli’s curse was basically baited for hell creatures. He didn’t even need to find them, and all of them would just madly rush towards Bartoli.

All Abel needed to do was to set up his battle formation and get ready to whip all of them out at once.

Abel immediately heard Flying Flame’s dragon roar as soon as he stepped out of the Forgotten Tower, but when Bartoli stepped out, dark energy began to emerge from the sky. This 10 meters tall dark energy stopped on top of Bartoli and kept sending out some kind of message to the surrounding.

Abel could sense a strong loath towards Bartoli coming from the entire Black Marsh, and this dark energy was a clear reflection of that.

“Let’s get out as fast as possible. It’s not safe here!” Abel said desperately.

However, just when he was about to open the Scroll of Town Portal, he realized this place was locked. Under the influence of the dark energy, his Scroll of Town Portal could not be used.

“This is exactly like an apocalypse movie!” Abel said, shaking his head. Hell was so mean to its traitors. If he didn’t have any backup, how could he find any way out of this?

As Abel was still lamenting, he felt the ground shaking. Countless hell creatures were rushing towards him from all directions.

The sky was filled with a red cloud of Blood Hawk, and the ground was filled with Night Clan creatures such as Wendigo and carvers. The scene was almost like tens of thousands of horses running at once.

It would be a big problem if Abel was surrounded by this seemingly endless sea of hell creatures, so he quickly gathered up all his summons in one spot.

He retrieved his 5 spirit guardian knights, 5 spirit wolves, Poison Creepers, and Black Wind in his monster portal ring. However, when he wanted to retrieve Bartoli as well, a problem had occurred. The dark energy above her had locked her down.

“Flying Flame, Come!” Abel yelled as Flying Flame immediately started to descend.

By this point, Abel had no choice. He grabbed Bartoli by the hand and ruthlessly jumped on to the back of Flying Flame. Afterward, he gently threw Bartoli behind him.

If Bartoli was a human wizard, this would definitely have broken her arm already. But, she could still withstand it as a dark gold being. Afterward, she immediately wrapped her arm around Abel.

Flying Flame really didn’t like an extra person on its back as it kept two hits. It only claimed down a little after Abel gave it a little pad. However, when it saw the sea of hell creatures on the ground, it grew interested.

After a usual dragon roar, a large amount of fire element began to farther in its mouth. Afterward, a white fireball violently struck down.

The white fireball exploded silently in the area with the most concentrated amount of hell creatures. The place was now a patch of white flame, all the hell creatures around 10 square meters had turned into ash.

By this point, Bartoli’s face had grown pale. She was a human wizard expert in fire, so of course, she knew how powerful a flame needed to be to turn white. It was beyond her imagination that her owner’s flying mount had reached this level.

A dragon was only a legendary creature in the Dark World, so Bartoli couldn’t recognize what Flying Flame was at first. It was only when it started to unleash its power; she realized how scary this thing was.

White fireballs continued to strike down, and the place had turned into a complete sea of flame. If those hell creatures below could still think for themselves, especially the Carvers, they wouldn’t follow under Flying Flame, brainlessly waiting to die.

Abel was not in a hurry. Flying Flame had just leveled up, so it needed some time to practice his new skills. Now it was the perfect opportunity, and it could also give Abel even more soul potion.

Around 30 white fireballs had brought Abel a few thousand souls from those hell creatures. By this point, Flying Flame had also lifted its head in satisfaction and flew towards the Rogue Encampment.

If Abel wanted to walk back to the Rogue Encampment, he would still need to go through that underground tunnel in the Dark Forest. However, there was no need for Flying Flame; it had the ability to track down the Rogue Encampment in its head.
