Abe the Wizard

If he was just getting them to the destination and didn't have to take part in the battle, then he could get some Wind silver and get to know the city owner. With that in mind, Abel nodded and said, "Alright then, when can we set off?     

Wind silver was very attractive to Abel. According to his knowledge, wind silver was a special metal. Adding a certain amount of wind silver to a weapon during the forging process could increase the weapon's windbreaker special effects attack speed, although the amount of increase depending on the ability of the blacksmith.     

"Thank you, Master Abel; my people will start preparing today, and we will leave tomorrow morning!" Ivan the Lord was overjoyed, knowing that he had prepared a dwarf team with a passage in the Double Moon Forest. The cost of doing so was the lives of countless dwarf warriors. Time was of utmost importance.     

Now Ivan needed to choose some elite combat power to fly directly to the destination and take down the ice fire ape. It would save time, manpower, material resources compared to the previous method.     

"Master Abel, please rest; I am sorry that I won't be able to accompany you for dinner. A waiter will take you directly to your room!" He said apologetically.     

Abel understood. Ivan had to arrange things overnight. How can he have free time to dine with Abel?     

A waiter brought Abel and Lorrain to the guest room, and the two rooms were close together.     

"I'm going to practice tonight. You just have to send the dinner to her room!" Abel said to the waiter who was leaving.     

After the waiter bowed and walked away, Abel turned to Lorraine and said, "Lorraine, I will practice all night tonight, you should rest earlier."     

Lorraine nodded smartly. Abel had been with her all these days. She knew Abel's living habits and will be closed in the room every night to practice. She was already very happy and content that they had spent time together.     

Abel entered the room, looked around, and found no devices such as the magic barrier method and mechanism. He took out the isolation magic barrier from the portal bag and activated the barrier to completely isolate him from the surroundings.     

Abel hadn't entered Rogue encampment for a few days. He had a new magic sword, but he wasn't able to try it. The only time to use the new magic sword was to dig the soil. He felt sorry for the sword of Victory.     

Took out the Town Teleport Scroll from the Horadric Cube, and Abel activated it to enter the Rogue encampment through the portal.     

As soon as he entered Rogue encampment, he felt the change in the weather. It was still cold outside, but the Rogue encampment was very warm.     

Since Black Wind was not brought in, Abel did not save his combat qi. Instead, he activated 'Knight Acceleration,' raised his movement speed to the limit, and ran toward the Blood Moor.     

since he had been riding Black Wind, he didn't feel the long distance. Now, he understood Blood Moor's size by running it himself. Running at full speed for a long time even made him sweaty even with his superb physique. After a little rest, his body had returned to a state of complete victory.     

The shadow of a zombie was dimly in front of him. Abel cast himself a "Frozen armor" and summoned Rib Bone from the phalanx space. With the ice magic sword, without Abel's orders, he rushed towards the zombie ahead.     

Abel held his Sword of Victory and did not fall behind Rib Bone. He swung his sword and killed the zombies in 3 swings. How could he kill the zombie just by 3 swings? By watching the ghost appear from the zombie and being absorbed into the Horadric Cube, Abel felt strange, then suddenly thought of the superior sword in his hand has an attribute of + 300% damage to undead monsters, it seemed that this attribute was very useful for the undead.     

There were only ten or something zombies in this area. Now, several hundred more were crawling here from the underground. Abel threw a worried look at Rib Bone. Now that there were so many of them, it could really start to make use of its mass freezing ability. With a swing of its ice magic sword, the already-really-slow zombies were moving at the pace of a snail.     

Because of how slow the zombies were, they were actually slowing down the ones that were behind them. It became really easy for Rib Bone to finish them off. Whenever they were recovered from the slowing effect, Rib Bone would just freeze them again with the ice magic sword. After that, it would end them with the swing of its blade. It was that easy.      

Abel was kind of shocked to see how orderly Rib Bone was executing its fighting strategy. Attack. Slow the enemies down. Attack. It was even better than when he was doing it. It was shocking that a skeleton could be so quick with its hands.     

Abel's still got his "charged bolts," though. As his only area attack technique (also the most mana-consuming one), he could neutralize the zombies in a very efficient manner. Soon, the level five charged bolts became seven lightning arcs that were laid on the ground. Instead of waiting for the zombies to step on them, they just charged at seven of them automatically.     

The attack point of the charged bolt was somewhere between 4 and 6. Basically, if it was cast normally, nine out of ten of them would deal about 4 damage. It's very typical of any lightning attack. They were fast, and they could zap their victims. That being said, they dealt the least damage amongst all the spells.     

Abel wasn't really affected by the downside, though. Since he was casting the spell with the skill tree inside his Horadric Cube, he could always deal with the maximum damage every time he activated it. It was the reason why he would use it despite how mana-inefficient it was.     

Actually, forget about being mana-inefficient; throughout these few minutes, Abel didn't stop casting his charged bolts. Soon, he was already out of mana, and most of the hundreds of zombies in front of him were down by the lot. Those who didn't were just barely moving.     

When Abel was reaching his limit, he decided to stop casting any spells. He switched to physical attacks. As he raised his sword of Victory, he began clearing off the zombies that were spared. He could almost kill one with just one or two swings, and when he did, the blade would help him recover his mana.      

 When he killed about forty of them, his mana was pretty much recharged. He then switched back to casting charged bolts. He wasn't sparing his mana this time, either.     

The fight ended a lot sooner than he had thought. Actually, he was finally starting to feel like a wizard. Before, when he was fighting with spells, he had to be very careful about how much mana he was spending. He had to calculate the number of zombies he was fighting, the ratio between the mana spent, and the kills he was making. It just felt like a chore for him, and it was taking the thrills of fighting away from him.     

It was completely different now. He could cast spells at will, and it would only take a few extra zombies to restore mana and become full again.     

At the end of the battle, Abel looked around and found that there was a small pile of stone bales not far away, where he could just sit down and rest for a while.     

After approaching the hill pack, he discovered that there is a cave in the middle of the hill pack. Was this an evil cave?     

Whether it was or not, Abel also had to eat first. Abel took out a copy of the nutrition potion from the portal bag. Now it was time to test the effect of the nutrition potion and pour the milky white nutrition motion into the mouth. The taste of a mixture of milk and wheat aroma filled the mouth, and a warm current went straight into the stomach. After an instant, he felt like he had just eaten a table full of good dishes, and his belly was full. The feeling of satiety, and at the same time, the vitality of the body, was also replenished.     

Although Abel was not sure how long the 'anti-hunger agent' could guarantee that he doesn't need to eat, for the moment, it seems that the effect is very good--at least it tasted really good.     

He threw the empty into the space bag. Abel took the shield out of the space bag, and then added the frozen armor to his body.     

There were a lot of white bones at the entrance of the cave. A closer inspection revealed that on this small hill-packed hill, the fillings between the rocks and stones are all bone fragments, and the whole hill-pack was like a huge grave.     

Seeing this, Abel felt uneasy, but he still needed to go inside the devil cave.     

This was the only boss in Blood Moor, which would be the first boss he would encounter in the dark world. He didn't want to miss it.      

Once again, he checked his equipment: shield and Sword of Victory. Abel took a deep breath and carefully entered the black hole.
