Chapter 179 - Break
After a while, Abel felt his energy rush back to his body. His golden combat qi also seemed like it had gotten denser from this almost dying experience.
He still had a lot of wounds outside of his body. Although his burnt skins had healed up a little, he still looked very scary. It seemed like that master’s ‘constitution potion’ would try to heal the internal damage first. It would start to heal external damage once the internal damages were healed. But by this point, the effect of the potion was wearing off. It only got the chance to heal some large external wounds before its effect was all used up.
Abel used his power of the will to drag his personal storage space into the Horadric cube once again. He let out a deep breath of reliefl. He survived nevertheless. His external wounds were not a problem; his golden combat qi would slowly heal it up after some time.
Now it just came down to if his teacher Wizard Morton could win this battle. If Wizard Morton had lost, maybe he couldn’t preserve his little life.
At that moment, he saw a dark shadow from a near distance. It was a shadow of a body wearing an entirely black robe. That body looked too tall to be a human’s body, and it was ruthlessly sending out some unknown spells to the battlefield.
Abel was sure in his heart that this was the deity of the orc that was controlling the skeletons. Therefore, he held the 6 fire attack rune signs he made yesterday in his hand. Those were the most powerful rune signs he ha; they were much more powerful than any spells he could do. Then, he reached his power of the will in his portal bag, and a magic cane appeared on his hand.
Actually, Abel knew fully well that the rune signs he made yesterday, and the magic cane with the ‘spirit transfer’ spell in his hand, would not do much damage to the deity of the orc. Especially the ‘spirit transfer’ spell. It was mostly used for picking up things from a distance, and it’s attacking ability was basically nothing.
However, he was waiting for a chance: a chance to let his teacher gather up all his strength, and focus on killing one of his opponents first. Currently, his teacher was being attacked by 2 opponents simultaneously, so it was impossible for him to focus on a target.
“Huh, that kid still didn’t die after all the attacks. So lucky.” the deity of Gosford looked at Abel on the ground. His power of the will could sense Abel’s life force, and seemed like Abel’s life force was very strong as well.
After Abel heard the voice of the deity of Gosford, he knew it was too late for him to just attack him directly. He had to find a chance. Attacking an intermediate deity head-on would be suicide.
Since the deity of Gosford was distracted, it gave Wizard Morton a chance to attack. The ‘weaken’ spell in his body had faded, and he regained all of his spell power again. The ‘chain of lightning’ he had not used for a long time was unleashed once again. After the ‘chain of lightning’ had knocked down 2 skeletons, it flashed in the body of Wizard Ston. He let out a scream, and the 2 layers of defense on his body were destroyed immediately. However, the moment before his layer defenses were destroyed, he used the ‘move in a flash’ and dodged.
By this point, Wizard Ston felt his mana was about to be used up after all the vicious attacks he had sent to Wizard Morton. If he continued like this, he might not even be able to preserve his life, let alone killing Wizard Morton.
“Gosford, what are you doing? I can’t hold it anymore.” Wizard Ston screamed as he was ruthlessly using up his mana on the ‘move in a flash.’
The deity of Gosford was standing in front of the body of Abel. He was just about to bend down and search for his lost treasures, but suddenly he felt the 2 chains of will disappear from his mind. Afterward, he heard the scream of Wizard Ston, so he had no choice but to turn around and said, “Humans, you have the guts to kill my skeletons? I’ll turn you into a skeleton Wizard!”
As the deity of Gosford was speaking, he pointed his blood-red magic cane towards Wizard Morton, and a beam of red light began to shine from his magic cane. In the flash of the moment, Abel suddenly grabbed his right leg with one of his hands on the floor. His massive force quickly dragged the weak body of the deity of Gosford directly on to the ground. Since Abel had wounds on his mouth, he could only mumble, “Knight’s outbreak technique!”
A Knight’s outbreak technique could increase one’s strength by 3 times, but the person who had used the technique would get a little weaker for the next following hour. This was a secret Knight technique from the Bennett family. This technique had immediately used up almost half of his golden combat qi, but what he got was 3 times his strength. On top of the support of his golden combat qi, Abel had now had the strength of a human T. Rex.
Now, Abel was bashing up the deity of Gosford on the floor in the most ruthless techniques imaginable. Stabbing the eye, stabbing the throat, punching the groin, striking the nose, basically unleashing all the most frowned upon fighting techniques in his past life.
Other than physical attacks, his weak little souls also kept igniting the fire attack rune signs on his right hand. Waves and waves of flame blew upon the deity of Gosford. It had also burned Abel as well, but he couldn’t care less at that point.
The deity of Gosford was struck with so many unexpected attacks; he didn’t know how to react to all of a sudden. But still, he was an intermediate deity. He still has some life-saving methods apart from his defense, which was about to be shattered by Abel’s massive force. A rock monster made by mud appeared from the tip of his right finger and quickly merged with the deity of Gosford. Just like that, a new armor made with mud had formed on his body.
In a flash of an eye, all of the attacks from Abel became useless. A murderous instinct emerged from the cold eyes of the deity of Gosford. A little novice Wizard had almost pushed him towards a crisis. A blinding white light began to flash from his finger. A spell was about to be unleashed.
Since Abel was holding up the deity of Gosford during this time, the skeletons were not supported by any spells. Therefore, they could no longer form a threat to Wizard Morton, especially after losing 2 of the skeletons. Wizard Ston was not looking too well either. His mana was almost fully drained.
All of a sudden, Wizard Morton decided to surrender. He had completely disappeared from the battlefield after a few ‘move in a flash’. Wizard Morton did not chase after him. Instead, he sensed a battle happening, so he quickly arrived beside Abel with a ‘move in a flash.’
By that point, the deity of Gosford’s spell had completed, and he was just about to unleash it to kill Abel. Suddenly, he saw Wizard Morton appeared out of thin air. So, he quickly did some shameless rolls on the ground to drag out his distance with Wizard Morton, waiting for the support of the skeletons.
However, there was no way Wizard Morton could give him a chance to escape. A strike of lightning stuck on his body, but due to his mud armor, the damage he actually took was largely minimized.
The strength and weakness of a deity were very obvious. They could not do a ‘move in a flash’, so they basically had the speed of a turtle. However, if you were talking about their stamina in battles, they would be miles ahead of any wizards. As long as a deity could summon their skeletons, they could just let them battle forever without using up a single bit of their own mana. The defense spells of a deity were also extremely strong; they could counteract countless physical or spell attacks.
The deity of Gosford and Wizard Morton began drawing their own patterns at the same time. The deity of Gosford had drawn a ‘ white bone armor’ defense pattern. Although this was only rank one spell, it was still very complicated.
On the other hand, Wizard Morton had unleashed the ‘hellfire’ spell. This was not a high-rank spell as well, but it was the perfect match for the mud armor in the deity of Gosford. Its ability was unleashing a ball of flame and burning people to death.
Although these 2 spells only needed a second to unleash, it felt much longer to the 3 of them on the battlefield. These spells could dictate the result of the battle. If the deity of Gosford could unleash his ‘white bone armor’ first, then he would have enough time to regroup with his skeletons. A deity with its skeletons was a whole other level compared to a deity by itself.
However, if Wizard Morton could unleash his ‘hellfire’ spell first, then he could turn the deity of Gosford into a burnt white potato along with his mud armor.
As the 2 of them were still drawing their magic patterns, suddenly, a worn-out short cane looking magic cane was lifted by Abel’s left hand. A white pattern immediately emerged from the front of the magic cane and soon disappeared. Afterward, a beam of white light appeared on top of the deity of Gosford’s head and soon engulfing his entire head.
“Break!” Abel mumbled the wounds in his face could not hide the smirk on his face.
The deity of Gosford felt dizzy all of a sudden. Although the fighting ability of the ‘spirit transfer’ was very low, it had a special ability, which was the break spell. As long as this spell was directly cast on someone’s head, their spell would break.
