Chapter 359: 359

Chapter 359 Tristram

Abel could see different symbols on each of these five pillars . It was just like from the game . He could only open the teleportal portal to Tristram if he activated them in the right order . By thinking back to when he read the scroll of Inifuss, he searched for the first pillar that he was supposed to touch .

Once he did, he took out a perfect red stone to put in . As the stone slowly sank into the pillar, the symbol that was correspondent to it began to glow in blue light .

The second . The third . The fourth . Finally, when the last pillar was activated, all the pillars began to glow blue at the same time . The light became so bright . He had to take a few steps back while covering his eyes . Maybe it wasn’t good to use perfect gemstones on these things, after all .

The blue light emitted then started forming a rune pattern which, out of nowhere, created streaks of lightning that attacked the center of the pillars . Abel wasn’t sure what was going on, but he saw like this had caused a disturbance in time and space . He was right . A split in a dimension just appeared at where the lightning struck . When that split was sealed up, a red teleportation portal appeared .

As long as the red gemstones didn’t run out of energy, this portal would at least be there for about a month . Besides, there was a lot of mana that was flowing in the air . Since the gemstones could also recharge themselves, Abel was sure that it’s going to be a while before he would have to replace them .

When he looked at the portal, something told him that it’s going to be extremely dangerous to go in it . It was the first time he felt this way while in the dark world . The dark world was full of dangerous things, but the fear and anxiety he was having were like nothing he had experienced before .

To arm himself up, he decided to equip himself with his most defensive weapons . He had his small crescent shield in his left hand, his Jade of Tan Do in his right hand . He also had his “full recovery potion” in his snake’s self-recovery belt, which he could use to heal himself at any given time .

It was a shame that he couldn’t bring Flying Flame with him . Flying Flame was a flying mount, and flying mounts were not allowed to be in Tristram . He could bring in his other summoned creatures, though . The crows could tag along to help him deflect some of his enemies’ attacks . He could also bring in his five spiritual guardian knights, which had way more health points than the spirit wolves to act as meat shields .

After assembling the creatures that he’d like to bring with him, Abel decided to send the five crows through the portal first . After that, he rode in as he sat on Black Wind’s back . The place he was getting teleported to was somewhere in Tristram, which was full of hell creatures that could annihilate him in just a few seconds .

When he went in, he actually became scared of what he was looking at . There were just so many hell creatures . There were the night clans at the front, the carvers, and carver shamans behind, as well the skeleton archers at the very back . Upon a closer look, he could see a bunch of them that were flashing in golden light .

The ones he had to face first were the night clans, which were powerful creatures armed axes . Since he was teleported right in their camp, he had no time to send out his five spiritual guardian knights . It was probably for the better that he didn’t . There wasn’t a lot of space around him, so if he actually called them out, they’d probably be standing on top of him right now .

Now, six of these night clans were already charging at him . He blocked four of the axes with his crescent small shield, and he deflected the other two with his Jade of Tan Do . Usually, doing something like this should be easy if it was against a bunch of hell creatures . Yet, he felt like the force that was pressing on him was a little too much to handle . They must be in a higher rank than him .

“Back to the portal, Black Wind!” Abel quickly screamed . He knew he had no chance of winning against these night clans, so he didn’t hesitate to give up on the idea of continuing with his exploration .

They were a lot faster than he thought, however . As soon as he let out his voice, a rain of arrows poured over him from over the distance–fireballs immediately followed . His arms were too busy blocking the axes, so he had no choice but to rely on his armor for defense .

When the arrows were only a few meters away from him, his power of the Will suddenly went into overdrive . The arrows looked a lot slower to him, but he couldn’t feel himself moving faster, either . He watched as the arrow pierced through his “frozen armor” in slow-motion . His body couldn’t react to it, so all that he could do was to watch as more frost formed around the hole that was opened . Of course, it was all in slow-motion .

And another arrow . And another one . When he scanned closely with his power of the Will, he realized that the arrows were buffed with ice magic . He started to get really panicked, but the only thing he could do was to watch as they went through his thick layers of armor .

Eventually, one of the arrows pierced through his frozen armor . It was making its way towards his dark-golden combat qi armor, which was his very last line of defense . When the arrow made contact with it, a ripple was created to cancel out its impact . The ice effect of the arrow was also canceled . Actually, the frozen armor had already absorbed most of it .

That didn’t stop more arrows from coming, though . When the fourth arrow hit Abel, the frozen armor shattered as it became nothing but a thin layer of frost . When the fifth arrow hit him, all that was left to guard him was his dark-golden combat qi armor, which also quickly broke as three other arrows hit him .

To make matters worse, the ninth arrow was already flying at his shoulder . He still had his black armor intact, but he knew that it wasn’t going to do him much good . He had no choice . He could only try to tense the muscles around his shoulder . He could also try something else, though . It was something like that he had been saving for a time like this–the ice dragon’s protection necklace . The moment it was activated, a blue barrier appeared around his body . It was fast enough to block the arrows that followed . The tenth . The eleventh . The twelfth .

It couldn’t last forever, though . When the twentieth arrow came at him, his last line of defense shattered to pieces . When the twenty-first arrow pierced through his black armor, he tensed up his muscles for the pain that he was about to feel .

Meanwhile, his power of the Will was still in overdrive . Despite how strong his body was, the pain still hurt a lot when he was experiencing it all in slow-motion . Yes, all in slow-motion . He felt it when it pierced through his skins, muscles, his abdomen, and finally, his internal organs .
