Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1474: Baal

Translated by Jim

Edited by RED

Abel sensed the Defense Curse working on him and felt even worse about his knight Summons not being able to enter the World Stone Chamber.

Without their Cleansing Aura, he wouldn’t be able to get rid of the curse, and his safety was drastically impacted!

At that moment, large numbers of Rotten Corpses appeared on the red stone ground in front of him.

They were the fingers of Baal, and they could attack even when Baal was far away.

Without any delay, Abel moved and the angel avatar appeared beside him.

It was wearing the Enigma armor and the gray cape formed by the God Rank sea turtle shell. It was holding the Angel Sword and Shield. On its head was the Dream Helmet, and on its hands were the Soul Draining Gloves.

With that Gear, its defense was nothing to mess with, especially for a melee fighter with the natural ability to go against Hell’s energy!

Abel’s original body kept Flashing away to keep the distance from those Rotten Corpses.

The angel avatar quickly swung its sword. Since those Rotten Corpses were not very strong, they were soon chopped into pieces.

Afterwards, he scanned the area and found Baal’s energy in the center of the chamber. However, he did not move, almost like he was waiting for Abel.

Abel had the ability to divide his consciousness to control two bodies, but that was also his biggest weakness. The World Stone pieces could only affect one soul, so he gave it to his angel avatar.

The angel avatar waved again and his original body entered it as a form of energy.

He was about to fight Baal alone within the angel avatar!

At the same time, he fully activated his World Stone. Since he had four pieces gathered already, it was definitely stronger than the single piece Baal had.

Of course, he was only saying this to calm himself down. No one should ever underestimate Baal!

Without delay, he activated the Enigma Armor and Flashed towards the center of the room.

——

Soon, a platform appeared in front of him. Connecting to it was a stone bridge, and below it were burning red lights fuelled by the eternal flames of Hell.

But Abel did not think too much as he Flashed to the entrance of the bridge. There were two giant pillars on each side, so he hid behind one of them.

From there, he could see Baal clearly.

Baal’s true body was huge and looked similar to that illusion he had seen. The only difference was that there was a piece of crystal between his eyes. Indeed, it was the final piece of the World Stone!

Baal looked frozen, but his chest was rising up and down as he breathed. His eyes looked lifeless, even after he spotted the angel avatar.

This was the case, even though he had been living here for tens of thousands of years.

Abel knew Baal was like all demons. He did not have a soul, and was fully controlled by the World Stone. But that was exactly why he was so frightening!

As they kept going, Baal finally began to move. The angel avatar immediately sensed a threat through the World Stone and Flashed away.

Abel reappeared on another stone pillar, and saw an attack appear where he had been standing.

Luckily, he was a hair faster!

Still, Baal reacted quickly and followed up with a Nova Blast from his body in all directions.

Abel blocked with the Angel Shield and tried his best to hold on.

As a close-combat fighter, he knew he could not run forever. He had to learn how strong Baal was.

That Nova Blast was unlike the wizard’s fiery version. Its energy was entirely created by the Flames of Hell, and it was much stronger, probably because of the force of Destruction, and it also came with the special evil energy of Hell.

If the angel avatar had not had all of its Gear, it would have been injured.

Still, Abel finally had a taste of how strong Baal was. The Sea Turtle Cloak he wore had dispersed most of the Elemental damage. Although most Gear from the Central Continent was nothing in the Dark World, the ones made from God Rank creatures were quite powerful. It was too bad they were too rare.

Even after a tough battle, he had only gained that sea turtle shell!

The Nova Blast took a fifth of the health from the angel avatar, which was not too bad. At least, Abel knew it could not kill him in one hit.

Abel Flashed again, but this time he appeared in front of Baal and struck down with his angel sword.

At that moment, the World Stone between Baal’s eyes sparked and Baal roared. He did not dodge, instead choosing to directly strike back with his claws

He was fast, and Abel could not withdraw his sword in time. As the claw sped towards him, he unleashed a shield bash with his left hand.

Bang! Metal clashed, but Baal did not get knocked back. Instead, the impact of the claw traveled right through Abel’s Gear and landed on his angel avatar.

The World Stone immediately sensed a threat and Abel instinctively Flashed away while taking a Full Recovery Potion.

The strike Abel had landed with his Angel Sword had only left a small scratch on Baal’s skin.

As the purple light sparked over Abel, Baal made another move. A beam of while light blasted out from its body, and an ice wall formed in front of Abel.

Baal pushed towards Abel, and Abel sensed his health dropping like an open dam.

Abel quickly used another Full Recovery Potion, but he was not in any position to fight back. He stepped back ten meters, and his body was engulfed in frost.

Luckily ice couldn’t do too much to angels. After all, they were at least on the same level as Hell Demons!

When the ice wall faded, Abel Flashed away and appeared on the other side of the hall.

He finally had a rough idea of Baal’s power. That claw strike had taken half of his health away, while the Nova Blast took only a fifth. Therefore, Abel kept Flashing to keep his distance, as he knew Baal wouldn’t be able to catch up.

Baal seemed to have a special ability infusing his melee attacks. His force of Evil and Destruction basically disregarded all Abel’s Gear and landed directly on Abel’s body.

The blow also came with some fire damage, but Abel was very fire resistant, so that didn’t do too much.

As for that ice wall, it was Baal’s Skill ‘Frost’, formed by the Ice Crystals of the Underground. It could not only attack and knock back an enemy, it could also slow them down.

If Abel’s angel avatar wasn’t so powerful, defeating Baal was basically impossible!

Still, despite how bad things were looking, Abel had caused some damage to Baal with his sword. That meant he had a chance of winning. After all, he had thousands of Full Recovery Potions to sustain himself. But if the strike he had made had not left a single scratch, then he would have immediately given up and found a way out!

—

Rotten Corpses appeared beside him again, but the target of his next Flash was Baal

The Angel Sword struck down as soon as he appeared. Simultaneously, he made a strange little twist and dodged Baal’s claw strike.

However, Baal also saw the attack coming, and he dodged Abel’s sword!

It was an awkward moment, with both sides missing their strikes. Abel had no idea how it was possible, but he soon figured out the reason. Baal was using his own World Stone to analyze Abel!

Indeed, that should have been the case during their first clash, but Baal was way too confident in his own ability.

Abel Flashed away again, but this time he arrived behind Baal so Baal could not use the white frost attack again.

He held up his Angel Sword as he Flashed towards Baal’s backside. It was an extremely close-range attack, because he did not want Baal dodging it again.

Considering Baal’s size, he shouldn’t be able to react even if he saw Abel coming.

However, a red glow appeared on Baal, and another burning Nova Blast erupted!
