Abe the Wizard

Chapter 768 - Mass Killing

Chapter 768: Mass Killing

Priest Cyrus knew how many orcs there were in Niyan City. There were about ten thousand worgens that were ambushing here. Their objective was very simple: trap Abel so that he had no way out.

There was something that Priest Cyrus didn’t take into account, however. Abel had more tricks up his sleeves than he appeared to have. They couldn’t force him to use everything that he had at his disposal. Actually, all it took for him to threaten the six advanced priests were his summon creatures.

Still, when Abel heard the words that were said, he felt like murdering everyone in his sight. He felt like he seriously wanted to commit a massacre here. Flying Flame could feel this, so it decided to go for the first blood. It crushed the bone walls in its way, and eventually, there was nothing between it and Priest Daniel.

Right now, Priest Daniel was shooting bone spears at Abel. It didn’t give Abel any trouble. Abel had the world stone fragment with him. The slightest movement was enough for him to dodge everything thrown at him. If anything, Priest Daniel was putting himself at a disadvantage by attacking because he was giving himself less time to run away from Flying Flame.

When Flying Flame threw its claws at Priest Daniel, despair appeared on his face. The bone armor he wore was destroyed when contact was made. The three bone shields as well. They became shattered white pieces as soon as Flying Flame hit them. The claws didn’t stop there. They kept moving forward, and even the bone staff was destroyed.

The claws went through Priest Daniel. They went into his chest. When they went out, a beating heart was in grasp. This marked the death of the first advanced priest, which was later signified by a “light of soul” which extended from the ground into the sky.

“Ooooohhh!”

A bunch of wolf howlings followed. Every worgen in the city knew what they were looking at. The only thing they could do was to mourn. Their respected priest just died. As painstaking as it was for them, there was nothing much they could do. They didn’t even have the courage to run because all their mount wolves were dead (from the shock released by Flying Flame’s roar). They could try to walk, but walking wasn’t going to bring them far at all.

At the same time, Johnson also managed to score a kill. It one hand squeezed a metal stone guard into a metal ball, and the other hand was snatching onto an advanced priest. The priest tried to resist by casting curses and shooting spears, but the effect was so little that Johnson didn’t even bother defending.

Johnson just took all the attacks. It continued to grab the advanced priest in its hand. The white bone armor didn’t do anything. It didn’t even last a second before it became many white tiny dots that disappeared in midair. Next, the advanced priest screamed for a bit before he was squeezed into mush.

After swatting the bunch of blood of flesh in its hand, Johnson began to switch its target. It looked towards Priest Cyrus, who was shooting bone spears at Abel.

Meanwhile, White Snow and the two spiritual guardian knights were fighting one advanced priest together. The spiritual guardian knights couldn’t do much damage to the advanced priest, but if it was about their speed and spell-casting ability, they could give plenty of trouble to the opponent. Actually, the advanced priest couldn’t even move away from them. Worse yet, when he tried to cast the “counterattack” curse, the spiritual guardian knights would just switch into their bows. Their experience in the dark world made them very versatile in all kinds of combat situations.

There was no escape, which meant that the advanced priest could only try to kill the two spiritual guardian knights with his powerful spells. Still, with White Snow here, there was pretty much nothing that could be done. After stalling for a bit longer, the advanced priest became an ice statue that froze on the spot. After that, with a snatch of its claw, White Snow destroyed the ice statue and killed the advanced priest.

On the other side, the spiritual guardian knight captain, naga, and another spiritual guardian knight were attacking one advanced priest together. Unlike the other fights, the advanced priest had the initiative. All three of the spiritual guardian knights were slowed by the “aging” curse. If it wasn’t for their ability to move instantaneously, they would’ve been crushed and destroyed right away.

After barely dodging a bone spear, four hands extended from naga’s back. Each was holding green light balls, and they were thrown at the advanced priest. The advanced priest had no idea what they were, but his instinct told him to pop them with his bone spears.

That turned out to be a blunder. When the green balls popped, a green smoke began to cover the small area that he was in. Naga turned out to be a skeleton that could use poison. The advanced priest never saw that coming. In fact, the poison came from Andariel herself. It didn’t contain all her poison ability, but it was enough to kill most things that inhabited the Holy Continent.

The advanced priest took action very quickly. He held onto his breath as soon as he found himself covered in mist. Still, that didn’t save his life. His skin became green very quickly. His movement slowed. He found it hard to control his bodily movements. In fact, he couldn’t even think fast enough.

The spiritual guardian knights didn’t let this chance go. While Naga was busy strengthening its poison attacks, the others pushed their offense. The rune of “steel” continued to strike on the white bone armor. If it was any other type of rune attack, the effect would only appear once the white bone armor was gone. However, since the “steel” rune had a 50% chance of ripping the enemies’ wounds, the spiritual guardian knights managed to make some very effective attacks on the advanced priest’s body.

Abel observed everything that was happening. He had gained a better understanding of how advanced orc priests fight. He was more certain of something now. If he didn’t kill the skeletons at the start, things would be much more difficult now. Flying Flame might be almost unbeatable to them, but the curses and spells would still do tremendous damage to the other units.

Surprisingly, Naga’s poison attack turned out to be extraordinarily effective. The spiritual guardian knights were expected to be much weaker than advanced wizards and advanced priests, but as it turned out, Abel’s been using his minions wrong the whole time. Unless the enemies had some sort of special antidote, Naga’s poison would almost certainly kill anything that lived on the Holy Continent.
