Chapter 367 - Twitchthroe
Abel jumped down from Black Wind and snatched the dark gold armor from the dark gold archer. This was studded leather dark gold armor, which was quite rare in the Dark World. “Twitchthroe!” Abel mumbled the name almost subconsciously.
As soon as these words landed, the studded leather armor began to glow. All of a sudden, the dirty armor became clean as new.
Twitchthroe

Durability: 32
Required Strength: 27
+20 Increase attack speed
+20 Increase hit recovery
+25 Increase chance of block
+25 Defence
+10 Strength
+10 Dexterity
The studded leather armor was quite nice. To a knight, +20 attack speed was practica.
+20 hit recovery was also useful in the Dark World since most of the hell creatures had that annoying ‘interruption’ ability. Even normal ones had a chance of interrupting your spells
If you were surrounded by hell creatures and an interruption effect had occurred, you couldn’t lose your defense. If you did, you might keep getting interrupted until you lost your ability to move.
+25 chance of block could basically make Abel immune to the attacks from low-level enemies, especially after having the blocking attribute on his Pelta Lunata.
Abel put on this Twitchthroe underneath his black armor. Although only the attributes of the armor closest on his skin would be recognized, this armor shimmering in dark gold was too eye-catching, he had to cover it up with something.
The next batch of hell creatures Abel ran into was Devilkins. Although they were more powerful than Carvers, they would still run in paranoia after one of their teammates was killed. Therefore, cleaning them up was quite easy, not too dangerous.
It was like Abel had run out of good luck. He had already arrived at the entrance to the third floor without running into any dark gold boss. He didn’t find anything inside the coffins, and even barrels that he had the highest hopes for were useless.
The third floor was just the same, if not even more lifeless. Abel only ran into a small amount of Devilkins and ghosts.
The entrance to the fourth floor was easy to find. It was in a room next to the exit. The third floor in the dungeon was designed to be a passage. Maybe it was where the guards were living back in the days.
Abel saw fire as soon as he entered. It was a giant 5-star pattern made up of the relentless infernal flame. There were countless Devilkin’s roaming around since they were basically immune to it.
The spirit guardian knights captain began to change, glowing from blue to red. The magic sword in his hand had also changed from an ice magic sword to fire one. By this point, it gained an extra 75 fire attribute. Also, with the defense strength of its gear, fire could no longer do anything to it. It ran into the giant flaming 5-star pattern and began massacring Devilkins.
Meanwhile, the other four spirit guardian knights held their Harry Bow and shot Devilkins down one by one. The spirit wolves and poison creeper couldn’t go in, so they just waited for remaining enemies to come out. Only the Ravens flew amongst the flames and started picking out the Devilkin’s eyeballs.
Now, Abel had arrived by the side of that giant flaming 5-star pattern. He unleashed a ‘Charging bolt,’ and a sea of lightning roared towards the center of the flames like a tsunami.
In almost no time, all the Devilkin’s were killed. The spirit wolves and spirit guardian knights smoothly flashed to the other side of the flames. Abel retrieved his Oak Sage and Poison Creeper, and he moved in a flash to the other side.
Then, they ran into another group: 300 Devilkin’s appeared in front of them–a massive amount for a dungeon.
Abel’s ‘Charging Bolt’ could do a lot of damage. A wave of lightning raced, and a small number of Devilkin’s dropped dead. As they all ran in paranoia, Abel’s summons started to massacre them.
However, Abel realized there was one Devilkin amount in the group who was unaffected. Instead, they speeded towards Abel in flying speed and struck down with its blade in mid-air. Of course, Abel would not give it a chance, as he lifted up his Pelta Lunata.
Although Abel had blocked the strike, he immediately felt a chunk of his mana was drained. While he was still confused, another struck down. Black Wind quickly moved back, and the Devilkin’s blade lightly brushed Abel’s leather boots. Although he wasn’t hurt, he felt another chunk of his mana taken away.
“It’s a dark gold level! It has a Mana draining attribute!” Abel mumbled as he threw out an Ice Bolt. It had directly smashed on the dark gold Devilkin’s body, but the spell effect was completely useless. It didn’t even slow it down a single bit.
With a flick of a hand, Abel swapped to an ice magic sword. He viciously slashed a string of combat qi towards the dark gold Devilkin, but it didn’t even make a dent on its skin. It was like hitting a tree with a stick.
“Skin enchantment!”
After many attacks, Abel could guess what attributes this dark gold Devilkin had. He swapped to a Jade Tan Do in his hand. With the +20 attack speed, Abel’s hand had turned into a mere shadow in mid-air.
At the same time, as the Jade Tan Do struck down, a poison creeper emerged from under the dark gold Devilkin and locked it down. The dark gold Devilkin began to turn green as a large amount of poison was injected into it by the poison creeper, as well as Abel’s Jade Tan Do.
In the face of this turtle shell-like defense, Abel could only use poison attacks with a poison element with his current level. By this point, the dark gold Devilkin could no longer strike back; it could only slowly accept its fate and die.
As Abel continued to think about the dark gold Devilkin’s attributes, he kept striking it with the Jade Tan Do in his hand. Although it didn’t create any wounds, the poison could still show its power.
He was sure that this thing had some kind of Mana Burn enchantment when it was still attacking.
Mana Burn could remove your opponent’s mana in the equivalent of its minimum or maximum damage times 4 and deals it as additional damage. +100 attack rate. +75 mana resistance.
Abel continued to analyze. Since his spells didn’t do any damage, even at his level, it must have Mana resistance enchantment.
Mana resistance enchantment could +40 fire resistance, +40 ice resistance, +40 lighting resistance.
That was why it could counteract all of Abel’s lighting and ice spells. If hell creatures could incorporate their attributes well, they could unleash some extremely destructive power.
Abel’s combat qi string could not damage its skin because of the skin enchantment.
Skin enchantment could +80 physical impact and +200 defense.
These 3 types of enchantments had transformed this weak little Devilkin into some kind of super turtle. If Abel was not knowledgeable enough when it came to attributes and stuff, finding out its weakness would have been difficult.
Although the poison that actually entered its body had been decreased by 75 points, after countless attacks it was still enough to clear out the low amount of vitality in this Devilkin. Afterward, a ghostly dark gold shadow flew out and entered the Horadric Cube on Abel’s left arm.
