Chapter 767: Combat

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Flying Flame’s body came down from the sky like a hurricane. It was using its full strength when it grabbed Priest Daniel with its claws. Its speed and power was not something that Priest Daniel could react to.

Flying Flame was Abel’s fastest summon creature now. Its natural ability to neutralize all air resistance made it much faster than anything else alive. Also, the ability to fly made it pretty much capable of going anywhere. This way, it had the perfect capacity to fully utilize its “extra speed” enhancement.

From Priest Daniel’s view, all he saw was a black shadow that was coming at his face. His first reaction was to block with his “clay stone guard,” which he wasn’t sure if he could block a dragon’s attack with. He also had the white bone armor on, but that didn’t matter at all in this situation.

Flying Flame’s first strike didn’t kill him. Still, his clay stone guard was instantly pinched into ashes. As soon as it happened, he summoned his metal stone guard to come to defense. Since the claystone guard and the metal stone guard couldn’t be summoned at the same time, Priest Daniel kept his metal stone guard in his bone portal item in case something dangerous happened.

When the metal stone guard was summoned, it immediately went to attack Flying Flame. Flying Flame and Abel were too smart, though. They both knew that physical attacks wouldn’t work against it, so Flying Flame went to spit out hot flames at it. The flame it spat was pure white, something that couldn’t be matched by any flame that men could produce. It was enough to make the metal stone guard stop in just one step.

Without taking even a second, the metal stone guard was melting. It lost the ability to move. The parts that didn’t melt quickly wiggled about, but then came Flying Flame’s second spit. The heat was enough to turn the head into a pile of metallic liquid, and once the head was destroyed, all the remaining parts just became a bunch of junks that scattered on the floor.

Priest Daniel’s face was pale when he saw this. Both his clay stone guard and metal stone guard were killed. He had suffered great damage in his power of the Will. More devastating, yet, he had no ways of doing a counterattack. The only thing he could do was to swing his bone staff and create a few bone walls to stop Flying Flame from closing in.

Priest Daniel screamed at the top of his lungs, “Kill Abel! Kill Abel, or we won’t make it alive! These are all his summon creatures. As long as Abel’s dead, we will all live!”

It was the right call. There was no chance of matching Flying Flame. The only shot was to aim at Abel.

Priest Cyrus yelled as well, “Right, kill Abel!”

But it was not possible. There were two regular spiritual guardian knights beside Priest Cyrus. It wasn’t too much for him, but it was just enough to make him unable to move away from where he was standing. To respond to Priest Daniel’s command, he retrieved his clay stone guard and commanded his metal stone guard to go towards Abel.

Abel didn’t bother responding to the metal stone guard’s attack. It was a being that he could damage, so he couldn’t try to attack it. No physical attack was good enough to damage it, and his current spell levels were just too low. It’s not like he could just take the hits, either. His level was not high enough to just tank on the incoming hits.

With all the other options gone, Abel could try to keep dodging the attacks. That was exactly what he was going to do. The metal stone guard might be fast, but he had a lot more advantage in terms of his speed. Black Wind had no problem dodging, which was making Priest Daniel all the more frustrated.

With a flash of his bone staff, Priest Daniel managed to create an “aging” cloud of curse on Abel’s head. Still, Abel was already very experienced with dealing with curses. As soon as he saw the dark red cloud appearing on his head, he quickly switched into his druid spirit. This way, the curse did manage to get on the druid spirit, but after switching back to his main spirit, the effect pretty much lost its intended purpose to slow him down.

As soon as Priest Cyrus launched his curse, he had to face the attacks of two spiritual guardian knights at the same time. Before he had to block the hits, he shot out another bone spear at Abel.

“Keep pushing!” Abel cried out as he dodged the spear with ease. He was actually very unsatisfied with the current situation. White Cloud and Johnson could beat advanced priests on their own, but none of his enemies were down yet.

Not that it mattered to Priest Daniel. He was more focused on something else.

“Damn you, Abel! These are all skeleton knights, aren’t they?”

The advanced priests were frightened to hear this. They knew the consequences of learning the “resurrection of skeleton” spell, but Abel didn’t look like he had his entire body eroded by death qi. He was not eroded by death qi, and that was absolutely the most shocking thing for them to know.

The skeletons as well. They were usually from real human beings, but Abel had didn’t look like skeletons. Their appearance was much closer than real living knights. If Priest Daniel wasn’t so experienced, he would have never told that Abel was using the same type of spells as the orc priests.

“Hybrid spells? He knows hybrid spells.”

Even in a dangerous situation such as this, Priest Daniel couldn’t help but scream. Hybrid spells were what all advanced wizards and advanced priests dreamed of. Very occasionally, by altering the patterns of a spell, one could attain a new spell that had very different effects than the original. Most of the time, however, what was going to happen was that the spell was just going to fail. Worse yet, it might even damage the user’s power of the Will and even his own soul.

Priest Daniel laughed out like a maniac, “You are dead, Abel! If one orc gets out of this city, everyone will know about your secrets. All will know about how you can cast orc priest spells. All will know about how you have a dragon, of all things, as your summoned creatures. The whole world will be after you!”

Priest Daniel could let his voice be heard within a radius of at least two miles by enhancing his voice with spells. He wanted to make sure that all the orcs in Niyan City would be a living threat to Abel’s survival.
