Chapter 294 Real Runes

As Abel wrapped the snake ego belt on his waist, he looked at the golden treasure box again. It seemed like there was still something inside. He quickly stepped up and have a look again. There was an ordinary-looking rock dropped at the corner.

A rock? Abel picked up the rock, and there was a familiar looking rune on it. It was Tir!

Abel was a little shaky; this could be a real rune. Not a rune sign, but a real rune. It was the reflection of the Dark World’s high intelligence, the highest mystery

Abel placed the rune inside his Horadric cube feeling slightly in disbelief. Its attributes were clearly reflected.

Gain mana every time an enemy is killed.

Of course, Abel already knew this, but in his heart, he also clearly knew there was something different. It was like the Horadric cube didn’t even recognize the thing when he put it inside.

He always had a dream to create a superweapon from rune words. Although he already had knowledge on runes earldom, he never truly held a Dark World’s rune in his hand before. Since now he finally saw one, at least he could know what they were basically made out of and how they were made.

If he wasn’t underground, he would really like to start his rune research now.

After Abel returned to the first floor from the underground, he chose another split road. His heart was filled with thoughts about the runes, so the speed of killing kept increasing too. After being in the underground for 3 days, he finally saw his first ray of daylight.

Abel let out a heavy breath of relief as he stepped out of the underground tunnel. It was like he had been away from the real world for years. He felt the freshness of the air as he stared at the patch of green grass, trees, and algae on the rocks. His mood was calmed.

Especially under the glow of 2 fire cane, Abel could clearly see a little teleportation station from afar. He felt even happier now. There weren’t any hell creatures in their way, and Black Wind already speeded towards the mouth of the cave without even needing his command.

It didn’t seem like many creatures had made contact with this little teleportation station. There wasn’t any rubbish on it, Abel could just directly ignite it without cleaning. He was lucky that he still had 2 perfect gems left. If not, this trip would be a complete waste of time.

He took out the last 2 perfect gems from his Kong Kong Spirit portal bag and installed it in the teleportation station’s gap. The little teleportation station began to glow in white shimmer. After the pattern began to glow as well, and the relentless energy was connected.

Abel could see that he could select the Rogue encampment, Cold Plain, Stone field, and dark within the little teleportation station. Abel wanted to keep exploring, but at the same time, he didn’t want any hell creature to destroy this energy the little teleportation station he had created.

The little teleportation station moved forward along a river. The view was amazing, but just as Abel was just enjoying this rare calming scenery, his intuition twitched. He held up the Pelta Lunata in his left hand, and “Ding,” a sharp spear struck upon the shield.

After days of battle, Abel’s team was already in the mode of battle before his command. The spirit wolves had recovered and rejoined the team. The 5 spirit wolves flashed towards the mist of the bush of grass. The ravens in the sky flew forward, and the poison creeper disappeared from Abel’s side.

The spirit guardian knights did not leave. They tightly stayed with Abel, guarding him by forming a Knight charging formation.

As soon as the spirit wolves speeded into the bush of grass, things became chaotic.

“Ssss….SSSS.” The sound began to emerge from the bush of grass. Countless Quill Rat like hell creatures came out. The only difference was that they were purple and a lot bigger.

Those were Spike Fiend. They were a level above Quill Rat. They had much sharper spikes and much higher attacks than Quill Rats, but they were still just some low level hell creatures. Their attacks could do nothing to Abel’s armor and the spirit guardian knights.

Still, Abel could not take this easy, no matter what. His experience had told him, anything could happen in the dark world. In a flick of a hand, a golden combat qi armor appeared on him. Afterward, a spell pattern emerged in front of his hand, and a Frozen armor appeared on him. The frozen armor reflected the golden combat qi, making him look like the golden god of war.

Now both of his amours could protect Black Wind as well. Black Wind’s fur and skin defense was not bad in the first place. Abel had got a taste of it before. Although Black Wind was not an attack style official soul beast, it’s defense was definitely on par.

By this point, an air breaking sound came from somewhere. Abel’s hand shook. The new Pelta Lunata was knocked back along with him by an immense force. The continuous long spike attack kept knocking him and the spirit guardian knights back.

“Close body attack!” under Abel’s command, the 4 spirit guardian knights disappeared and reappeared in the midst of those Spike Fiend.

Black Wind sped forward like a strike of lightning. Abel could see clearly now: a golden Spike Fiend was leading this group of Spike Fiend from behind. This little team was made up of around 10 elite Spike Fiend.

There was an obvious aura around that team of Spike Fiends. It was a special ability of their golden leader. Seeing the attack just then, Abel could tell this was a powerful aura. It could multiply the power of their spike attacks, so Abel needed to be very careful. The spirit guardian nights were hurt a little, but nothing major. The spirit wolves were already going back and forth with the normal Spike Fiend, so they weren’t the target of the elite team.

Abel hated these kinds of hell creatures since they do not give any rewards. Their dark hell energy absorbed skin were basically useless, so the only thing that he could gain from fighting them was their soul. The battle ended quickly. The Spike Fiend, which had been charged, was like a helpless life stock. They did not use the long spike on short distances, so it only took Abel a little bit of time to wipe them out.

In the following roads, some Vile Lancer, they were a level above dark spear. Both their attacks and defense were a little stronger, but still, they could not harm Abel. After entering the Dark Forest, Abel directly put in his 2 armor.

Abel kept whipping out hell creatures along the way. After half a day, he finally saw a large patch of forest. He could not even see the edge of it, no wonder why they called it the Dark Forest.

The first thing he saw as he tried to enter the forest was a large amount of blue Carver. They were in every corner, under every tree, there were even from Carver shaman lurking among them. It seemed like this Forest had become the home of the Carvers.

Although they weren’t a big threat to Abel, there were still too many of them. The thing that stressed Abel out the most was the condition of the Frost. It hugely reduced the power of his most skilled Charging bolt. A large portion of his Charging bolt was blocked out by trees, so not much of it actually hit those fallen.

If he tried to use a Fire attack in the forest, it would be suicide. A Carver shaman could use such a powerful fireball attack around here. After long years of living in the forest. They seemed to have mastered some kind of special technique to use fire attacks without damaging the forest. Abel was in bad luck; his Firebolt attack would burn up even the grass, let alone the trees.

However, there were always pros and cons. There were a lot of trees around here, so there was basically no way those Carver could unleash a group attack on Abel and his team. Therefore, even though it would be slower to kill off those Carvers, at least they were safe.
