Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1436: The Throne of Destruction

Abel’s team was squeezed into a small space with the two Spirit Guardian Knights holding up at the front. However there were at least four or five more Diablo Kings swinging their axes in front of them.

If Abel’s Druid Soul couldn’t give them Full Recovery Potions automatically, they would all have died countless times already.

Still, two Spirit Guardian Knights had managed to survive and the God Rank Knight was backing them up.

From time to time some Diablo Kings would penetrate their first line of defense, and the Spirit Guardian Knights would chase after it.

Since the space was so small, Abel was always on the verge of getting attacked.

“Damn it!” he grunted. The risk he was taking just didn’t feel right. “Hypnosis!” Abel yelled, even though he didn’t want to use the spell.

Red Curses gushed out and countless sparks landed on the Diablo Kings. They were immediately Confused and started to attack one another.

This did not affect the ones already attacking Abel’s Summons, but it still freed up some space.

Suddenly, a white cloud appeared above those Diablo Kings, and Abel’s Hypnosis spell was immediately lifted.

“Back!” Abel yelled without hesitation.

He then surrounded his team with his Power of the will and activated a Flash back to the platform.

A giant beam of lightning exploded behind them. That white cloud was formed by a bunch of Burning Souls and their long-distance lightning attack could be matched neck and neck with Abel’s strongest lightning spells.

Furthermore, they all had scary penetration, and they always came in groups!

Abel had to retreat, but at least now he knew what he was facing, so he could prepare.

He Summoned Doff’s avatar, but it was way too big, even on the platform!

But Abel was not planning to ask him to fight. He instead wanted the avatar to enchant his team!

Giving out three Battlecries, Abel’s team was strengthened from their defense to their health.

God Rank Two also activated his Spirit Aura, thus they would have some protection from the Burning Souls.

Finally, God Rank Four ignited his Holy Freeze, so those Diablo Kings would now be slowed down.

As the three God Rank Knights started down again, a giant turtle shell appeared on Abel.

It was the one he had put on his angel avatar, and it still looked the same. He had to give up some fashion sense for a powerful defense!

With the turtle shell on, he also could Flash away. He would not have done something like this if he was not facing those uncountable numbers of Hell creatures.

Since the shell was so big, Abel Flashed into the tunnel again before taking the shell out.

This time, a sea of white charged towards him. Most of them were blocked by the three Spirit Guardian Knights and his Gray Bear, so his turtle shell didn’t have to do much work at all.

His Druid Soul then used Full Recovery Potions crazily, and he had the Darkness Curse prepared for those Burning Souls and Diablo Kings.

As the Curse came into effect, the Burning Souls were blinded and the Diablo Kings were slowed down by the Holy Freeze that followed.

Abel had no choice but to bring all three of his God Rank Knights. Most of his Summons were helpless in this environment, even with the Barbarian buffs, but as his Curses came into effect, his chance had arrived.

Aging Curses kept shooting out of his hand. With his current Death Qi level, he could sustain this for quite a while.

The Diablo Kings’ speed was drastically reduced, to the point they couldn’t even hurt those Spirit Guardian Knights. As for the Burning Souls, they switched their tactics from long range lightning strikes to close range after they realized they could not break the holy knights’ Aura.

It was exactly what Abel wanted. Since their defense was basically zero, those Spirit Guardian Knights could basically kill a Burning Soul with every strike!

Abel let out a breath of relief. After countless years of battle experience, he had a handle on almost every Hell creature’s strength and weakness.

He did not join the attack, instead continually casting Aging and Darkness Curses.

At the same time, his soul chain connected God Ranks One and Five. They were ready to enter the Throne of Destruction at any moment.

As soon as they entered, they simultaneously cast a Nova Blast, and ice elements blasted ahead. God Rank Four also switched to a Belief Aura so their Nova Blasts would have maximum power!

A Nova Blast was a close-range attack, and they didn’t want to provoke all the Burning Souls around.

Furthermore, those Diablo Kings were fire-resistant and the Burnings Souls were lightning and poison-resistant, so ice attacks were his only option!

Abel then Summoned Half-god One for the Meditation Aura to heal his team.

——

As time passed, more and more Burning Souls were killed, and the Diablo Kings soon followed.

It was just that killing each group of them was extremely hard with their powerful defenses, so he could only do so over time.

After half a day, emptiness soon returned to the area and it was now big enough to hold all of Abel’s Summons. He Summoned the ones he’d left on the top level down to help clean up.

Soon, Abel regained his energy. He knew he was closer to the final devil with every step he took.

He put the ugly turtle shell back on his angel avatar. Maybe it still had a few months to go., and then he would fight while looking like a turtle.

—–

The next five hundred meters took Abel ten days of battle to complete. He did not rest, and he only took Full Recovery Potions for restoration.

It was not because he didn’t want to, but Hell creatures could regenerate under Hell’s influence as soon as he stopped attacking.

When the final Diablo King dropped dead, Abel immediately sat down on the ground. The past few days of intense fighting had worn him out.

Since his Summons were still holding on fine, they searched through the dead bodies for any rewards.

The armor and axes of those Diablo Kings could be kept if they were not damaged by Hell.

God Rank Two came back with a pile of armor and axes. Abel casually scanned it with his Power of the Will and was stunned. They were all Blue Rank gear!

No wonder those Diablo Kings were so hard to kill!

Since those Diablo Kings’ bodies looked quite similar to Barbarians, Abel could give the gear to the Barbarians. Although it was not Dark Gold, it would be a better fit.

Abel did not have time to forge new gear for the Barbarians. Even the master blacksmiths in Doff’s Kingdom were busy.

Therefore, Abel put away more than four hundred piles of gear and activated a Scroll of Town Portal back to Harrogath, where the Horadric Tent was waiting for him.
