Abe the Wizard Chapter 190 – Rib Bone

Abel really began to doubt if he had done the ‘skeleton reborn’ spell correctly. He had drunk up 8 bottles of ‘soul potion’ and almost became a zombie because of this weak little skeleton. Was this it? Was all his sacrifice just for this weak chicken skeleton?

Why not, let’s just take out the Horadric and test it out. A new skeleton sign already appeared on the skill tree. He focused on the sign with his power of the will. Some data appeared.

This skeleton only had 1-2 attack, what was he going to do what that? Use its bone to bang it on a drum? Abel face palmed himself.

But since the skeleton was already summoned, why not test out its actual fighting ability. Since this skeleton didn’t have any weapons, Abel decided to take out a magic big shield and magic sword from his Kong Kong spirit portal bag.

This skeleton was very easy to control. After the ‘skeleton reborn’ spell was completed, A little bit of power of the will was taken out of Abel and cast it on the skeleton. With the 27 power of the will that Abel had currently, this skeleton could not go beyond 270 meters from Abel. Once it did, the skeleton would get out of control and attack on its own. Of course, this out of control skeleton would still fight alongside the person who summoned it, but it would attack any enemy that got in its way.

Through this little bit of power of the will, Abel could control this skeleton to do some simple tasks. Just like now, for example. Abel handed the magic big shield and magic sword to the skeleton and controlled it to hold the sword in the right hand and the shield on the other.

“Move forward!” Abel was already riding Black Wind very slowly, but the skeleton was even slower. That was the main problem right now.

There was a sea of red in front of them. Abel was so sick of killing those fallen lately. Luckily he still had the Horadric cube to suck up their souls, so he wouldn’t have to kill them over and over again.

As soon as Abel entered the fallen camp, the fallen began to roar. The fallen rushed towards Abel, but just before he was about to unleash his ‘charging bolt,’ which was almost automatic at this point, a weak little shadow had already started running with immense bravery towards the sea of fallen in front of him.

The fallen saw a weak little opponent running towards them, so they roared even louder and surrounded the skeleton.

Seeing the weak little skeleton being surrounded by a sea of fallen, Abel basically gave up on the skeleton’s existence. However, this might be a good time to unleash a ‘charging bolt.’ Abel unleashed 10 quicken ‘charging bolt’ spells in a roll, forming a sea of electric arcs. Afterward, those electric arcs rushed forward like a wave of the ocean.

Screams filled the air, 10 fallen had been knocked down while all the other ones scattered towards all directions screaming for their lives. To Abel’s surprise, that the skeleton was still alive. It seemed like the electric arcs recognized the skeleton. Although a few electric arcs had flashed upon the skeleton, it did not damage it a bit. The electric arcs just continued to move forwards.

The skeleton often chased a fallen with its shield at the front and sword at the back. This was a perfect knight technique and a very familiar one to Abel. Wasn’t this the Bennett family’s knight’s charging technique?

The skeleton counteracted the fallen’s strike with its big shield and gently moved its body. The big sword in his hand horizontally slashed towards the waist of the fallen. The fallen did not have any fighting techniques. After it was rumble off by the rebound of the big shield, and the big skeleton sword opened up a long stream of blood mark on the fallen’s waist. Before its blood even had the chance to spill out, the fallen was froze up by the ice margin. The skeleton did not miss this opportunity as it continued to strike. Just like that, the skeleton had directly struck the fallen to death.

No wonder why the skeleton didn’t die just then. It was protected by the big shield, as well as it’s perfect knight’s technique. It seemed like this skeleton could still survive for a short while battling against those skill-less fallen.

Could the ‘skeleton reborn’ spell inherit the close body fighting style of the summoner? That was such a joke. Other than an abomination like Abel, both the body of wizards or deities were consumed by mana. Especially deities, they also needed to withstand the consumption of death qi. There was no way they would have any close body fighting abilities, so no wonder they needed to alter this spell to inherit the ability of the owner of the skeleton.

The skeleton was a little bit more powerful than Abel had expected. Although it could only dash out 1-2 points of attack with every strike, the mana of unleashed by the magic sword on top of the death qi of the skeleton’s attack, allowed the skeleton to completely dominate a fallen. Fallen were not immortal beings, so it had to withstand the impact of the death qi as well.

Too bad. If the attack of the skeleton was just a little bit higher, it could be a good helper. The ‘skeleton reborn’ spell was too much of a hassle. Although it was not hard to find a freshly dead body in Blood Moor, which was a key ingredient, it was very hard to recover mana here.

Nowadays, Abel spent most of his time traveling between the Rogue encampment and battlefield. Although he could use the portal door, it could only last for 5 seconds. It was definitely not enough for Abel to meditate and return.

It seemed like he also needed to spend some time practicing the ‘skeleton reborn’ spell. If he had a few skeletons and Black Wind by his side, he might be able to meditate in the wild.

Even though Abel was deep in his thoughts, he kept using Black Wind’s speed to unleash his ‘charging bolt’ in the places where most fallen were concentrated. In regards to the singled out fallen, he left it for the skeleton to practice on.

Abel still used his old technique of rounding up the fallen with Black Wind’s speed, then unleashed a ‘charging bolt’ towards them. This would not waste a single electric arc. Since he was already low in mana, every single bit of attack mattered.

After unleashing 40 ‘charging bolt’ continuously, there was not much mana left for Abel. That skeleton had also knocked down a few fallen. That was not a big reward, but it was something, so he urged Black Wind to go back. These days he had been ruthlessly battling. His mana had almost been used up, and the rate of recovery was very slow. Although the wild had been cleaned up a lot, there might still be some leftovers, so Abel didn’t want to put his life on the bet.

The portal door opened. Black Wind was used to getting into a portal door, so it rushed towards it after Abel. That skeleton also noticed Abel was getting in the portal door, so it immediately stopped the battle on hand and rushed towards it as well. At the last second, the skeleton stepped its foot in.

After Abel returned to the Rogue encampment, he opened his Horadric cube. Just when he thought he was about to examine the ‘skeleton reborn’ spell in detail, he was surprised to discover ‘skeleton reborn’ spell’s experience had grown from 1/5000 to 7/5000.

Could the skeleton gain its own experience by killing enemies by itself? If this was the case, then the ‘skeleton reborn’ spell could really be practiced while killing. After the ‘skeleton reborn’ spell got more powerful, he could summon another skeleton. Then, the Rogue encampment would be more lively. Although they could not talk, at least they could move. Things were way too lonely here.

“I’ll call you Rib Bone!” Said Abel looking at the skeleton in front of him. Since it was his fighting partner, it still deserved a name even as a summoned object. At least it could signify this skeleton existed in this world.

After seeing the color of the sky, Abel decided that it was time to leave the Rogue encampment again. This past 10 days of battle and recovery went by extremely quickly. Abel was so grateful, but when he looked at Rib Bone, he gave out a little sigh. If he brought Rib Bone outside, everyone would know he had learned a deity’s spell. He didn’t know if it would bring him a lot of trouble, but he was sure that every wizard absolutely hated the deities to their bones.

He would create too much tension if he brought Rib Bone outside. Could he put it in his portal bag? Suddenly, something struck his mind. He reminded of the deity the other day. It had exactly just put he summon object in his space joint. Rib Bone was also a summon object, so it should be able to be put inside as well.

Abel took out space joint and flicked with his power of the will. Just like that, Rib Bone was thrown into the finger joint. His power of will also came into its space finger joint. He saw that Rib Bone stood in the middle, surrounded and nourished by death qi.

At this point, Abel knew a feature of the space finger joint, a feature that even Wizard Morton might not know. In the past, he only thought it was just a normal dimension object. But it had the ability to nourish dead creatures.
