Chapter 370: 370

Chapter 370 The Rune Word Ingredient

The Horadric Cube on Abel’s right arm began to glow dark gold and sucked the pollution away from his soul . Before they even had time to contaminate his soul, the countess’s pollution was sucked into the Horadric Cube .

Abel let out a long breath of relief . He sensed his soul contract had been signed . It was only his first time, and he had been attacked . Now he knew how risky it was to sign these kinds of contracts .

“Master, I didn’t know things like this would happen!” Said the frightened Countess with a bow .

“No worries, I just underestimated the remaining power of hell!” Said Abel . Afterward, he felt a little bit scared as He thought about the aftermath of his soul being polluted .

It was the first time Abel had signed a contract with another intelligent being . At least it was a human before becoming a dark gold boss . Since this contract was designed for a mount, it almost agreed without even thinking .

“What’s your name?” Abel suddenly realized he would drive those nobles back in the Holy Continent insane if he called a Countess, a ‘Steward’ .

“Master, my name is Bartoli!” The Countess’s eyes looked extremely bright . It seemed like she had changed a little after all the pollution had been sucked away .

“Nice, I’ll call you Bartoli from now on!” Abel said with a nod .

“Master, this box contains all your rewards for winning a battle against me . Have a look, and feel free to take anything if you want!” Said Bartoli pointing towards a box .

“What’s inside?” Abel curiously looked at this legendary hell treasure box guarded by the countless .

“I don’t know either since I couldn’t open it . Before, different things would come out every time a challenger successfully killed me . But ever since hell had left this world, I don’t know what changes had occurred in this box!” Bartoli explained with a soft voice .

Abel bent down and examined the box . There wasn’t a lock . When he reached his hand towards the box, the lid automatically swung open exposing the things inside .

First was a magic staff . After he threw it in his Horadric cube, his jaw dropped with a face full of shock .

As he focused his power of the will on the magic staff in his Horadric Cube, it’s attributes appeared .

The first thing that came to Abel’s mind when he saw this magic staff was the rune word ‘Leaf’ . This was the perfect ingredient for making a leaf magic staff .

Abel didn’t know if the rune he made would have an affect this Rune Word weapon’s ability, but he had no other choice . Rune word weapons were extremely rare in the dark world anyway .

The second item was a rune . Although the sign on it was no longer visible, Abel was sure it was an extremely high-level one . He threw it in his Horadric Cube and it spat out a result .

Rune: Pul#

+30% increase defense

Abel started to wonder if the longer the box stayed closed, the better the value of the rewards . How was it possible such a high-level #1 rune would appear here .

Abel Abel was about to reach for the third object; he realized it had already disintegrated . However, Abel could still make out from the remains that it was an attribute-less white quilted armor . Maybe that was why it had disintegrated during this time .

The hell treasure box was emptied, but Abel was already very satisfied . Both the double socket magic staff and the Pul Rune were extremely rare . Especially that double socket magic staff . It was currently the best thing to help him increase his power .

Abel put away the magic staff and rune . He then looked around this empty room; he wondered how Bartoli could survive in here after all these years .

“Bartoli, let’s get out of here!” Abel knew how torturous it must be to live in such an environment as a hell creature with consciousness . Maybe that was why Bartoli would die to get out of here .

“Yes, master!” Bartoli’s voice sounded a little shaky since she was about to leave this dungeon, which she had been trapped in for tens of thousands of years . She regained her blush after all the pollution on her had been cleared out .

Abel exited this empty room riding Black Wind . He was totally unaware of how excited Bartoli was as she approached this normal looking door .

Although she was the ruler of this Forgotten Tower, she had never left this room . That was the rule of hell . She was bound to guard this hell treasure box, waiting to get killed by the next challenger and get reborn again . This cycle seemed to be endless .

By this point, all the hell scent on Bartoli had vanished; it was like her soul was cleansed . She never felt so clean before, even the grudges she held in her heart so deeply were gone .

No longer bound by grudges, the rule of hell, and the constant contamination of pollution from hell, she felt reborn again . She only needed to take one step, and she was out of this room .

It was almost like the lock on this door was cursed . Since she hadn’t tried escaping for tens of thousands of years, anxiety began to build up with every step she took . It reminded her of the torture her soul had gone through when she first got locked up in hell and tried to escape .

As soon as she stepped her right foot out of the door, she started crying and fell on the flood . She had totally forgotten all about her countess identity, her dark gold boss identity . At this moment, she just wanted to cry out her tens of thousands of sorrows .

Black Wind stopped as Abel quietly watched this noble lady in a luxurious dress, crying loudly like a child . He didn’t step up and comfort her; maybe it was best to let Bartoli have this time to herself .

Afterward, Barloti stood up again, wiping the tears off her eyes . She didn’t care about the dust on her clothes or the remaining tears on her face . Tears were a luxury to her back in the days, but the moment she looked at Abel gratefully and gave him a 90-degree bow .

“Bartoli, let’s go!” Abel bowed back and said softly . “Yes, Master!” After letting out all her emotions, Bartoli’s voice became very faint; it was almost like she had become a different person .

Bartoli came across the big metal wok of fresh blood as she came across the hall . She shook at the sight; she had lost everything because of these maidens’ blood . Now it just seemed like a big joke .

In a flash, a ball of fire appeared in Bartoli’s hand as she boiled the fresh blood into steam . She mumbled, “from now on there is no more Countess in this world, only the Master’s steward Bartoli!”

A new smile appeared on Bartoli’s face under the glow of the fire . The smile was so pure; she almost looked like a child . Afterward, she turned to Abel and said, “Master, I’ll lead the way for you!”

Bartoli placed her foot on the stairs to the 4th floor . It was at the exact moment, screaming began to emerge from all directions .

Abel’s face changed . It was the sound of Devilkins, but he had never heard them scream like this before . They sounded were extremely angry .

A large number of Devilkins rushed out from all the rooms . Luckily Abel had already killed a lot of them when he first arrived, but there were still around 200 of them, and even more were on their way .

With the Sword of Victory in his right and ‘Charging Bolt’ on his left, Abel and his summons charged towards the Devilkins .
