Chapter 1458: A Hard Fight

Abel surrounded his Summons with his Power of the Will and Flashed to the other corner of the hall. This time he was extremely careful that he moved in the opposite direction of the angel avatar.

The Minions of Destruction and Lister the Tormentor charged towards him again at immense speed without the Aging Curse.

Abel tried to cast the Nine-Headed Hydra spell to block the Minions of Destruction, but they just completely ignored it!

Luckily Abel had another Flash spell prepared, and he quickly Flashed away again.

Indeed, he did not even have time to strike back!

Meanwhile, the other half of his consciousness focused on the angel avatar as it battled with a single Minion of Destruction.

It stuck down with its Holy Angel Sword, while the Minion of Destruction struck back with its giant mouth, sharp claws, and tail. It was fast, almost as fast as the angel avatar.

Although the Minion of Destruction could easily injure a holy knight Summon, the angel avatar had a clear advantage in strength. It blocked with its Shield and fearlessly continued attacking with its holy sword.

Slash! A big cut was opened on the Minion of Destruction’s thick skin, raising a roar of agony.

Abel was confused. Was that Minion of Destruction bellowing in pain? That should not happen, no matter how sharp or powerful the holy sword was…

Unless a Hell creature was in critical condition, they would not roar like that. That was the Law of Hell and the power of their souls.

Abel soon realized the reason. It was the Light energy being delivered with each strike!

Light energy was fundamentally opposed to the energy of Hell. If he was fighting against a Diablo, the winner would be determined by the one with the greater energy.

The Light energy was clearly more powerful against normal Hell creatures, like the Minions of Destruction. As he kept striking, the Minion of Destruction kept stepping back with each attack.

Abel was a full Commander who had inherited knightly Skills. On top of his angel knowledge, his swordplay was impressive.

With all of these attributes, he was clearly dominating the Minion of Destruction. It was just that it had too much health and he could not kill it in a short time.

At the same time, his main body was running for his life, so Abel couldn’t just focus on one thing.

Considering how tight the space was, he could not Cast any spells other than Flashing. Of course, the fact that he had to surround all his Summons with his Power of the Will before Flashing also hindered his speed.

As those Minions of Destruction and Lister the Tormentor got used to chasing after Abel, they also minimized their unnecessary moves, which made them much faster.

Since Abel only had half his consciousness in his original body, he was clearly a step slower, too.

He gathered his most important summons around him, leaving the weakest Spirit Guardian Knights on the outer edge.

Soon Lister the Tormentor managed to strike a Spirit Guardian Knight. Its immense force did not send it flying, instead blasting it directly to pieces.

Abel sensed a sharp pain from his soul as he ignited another Flash.

By the time he reappeared, all he could hear was the gear of that Spirit Guardian Knight dropping towards the ground.

He was helpless. Such a powerful enemy was too out of his league. Without the Druid Soul, he lost the ability to cast spells with both hands at once, which was his most powerful ability back in the central continent.

Still, a Spirit Guardian Knight was not something he couldn’t afford to lose. He did not allow himself to be distracted as he ignited another Flash.

Meanwhile, the angel avatar moved even faster, and finally his Angel Sword sliced the head of that Minion of Destruction open.

Without stopping, he quickly turned in another direction and the Dark Gold bow Buriza-Do Kyanon appeared in his hand.

He aimed at another Minion of Destruction and an arrow infused with Light energy shot out as he released.

Light energy was the worst enemy to those Minions of Destruction, and could inflict great injury to the soul.

That Minion of Destruction quickly broke from its team and charged towards the angel avatar.

The angel avatar stayed calm as it changed back to its Angel Sword and Shield for another round of close combat.

Those Minions of Destruction relied on their instincts to fight. Although their speed and power could normally give them an upper hand, the angel avatar was a master of sword skills and the Minion was soon helplessly beaten by the angel avatar.

—

As time went on, more and more Minions of Destruction were killed by this method. At first Abel was in a totally hopeless situation, but with all the Minions of Destruction dead, he might have a chance.

Still, Abel did not let his guard down, because Lister the Tormentor was the strongest of them!

The angel avatar ignited a Knightly Charge and slammed into Lister the Tormentor’s body. He did not even budge, but the Light energy burned at his soul.

Lister turned around with a roar, but the angel avatar took this opportunity and slashed his head with its Angel Sword.

Lister the Tormentor was also fighting on instinct and could not help but roar before attacking. To his surprise, Abel used that chance to land another hit on it.

Abel was also not satisfied by the result. Given how thick Lister the Tormentor’s skin was, the blow only damaged the surface.

The Light energy stimulated it and its eyes turned bloody red. Lister felt his dignity was being insulted and he had to unleash his fury.

He bit, clawed, and swiped with his tail. He was just like those Minions of Destruction, but almost twice as powerful!

The angel blocked with its Angel Shield while stepping back to disperse the energy. It was a special technique to fight against great force, but it rarely needed it.

The damage it took was tiny, which infuriated Lister the Tormentor even more!

However, the angel avatar continued to block every attack Lister the Tormentor unleashed. With its skills, the long gray cloak, and the Angel Shield, it was indeed holding back a frightening monster!

Meanwhile, God Rank Two unleashed his Preaching Aura at Abel’s command, and a green glow appeared below Lister the Tormentor as the angel avatar landed a strike.

A long cut was opened up on Lister the Tormentor, and blood gushed out.

It was its first major injury, the Preaching Aura limiting its powerful defense!

—

The angel avatar continued fighting, and Abel ordered all his other Summons to help.

God Rank Three unleashed a Burning Aura to boost the angel avatar’s speed and attack. Although it was still at a disadvantage in power, the gap was nowhere as wide now.

Most importantly, Lister the Tormentor’s resistance to elemental damage was drastically reduced, and the spells coming in were making its health drop faster.

Everything was looking bright, but suddenly a ghostly beam shot out from Lister the Tormentor, and its claws landed on the angel avatar. In an instant, half of the angel avatar’s health was taken away.

“Damn it, a Spectral Hit!” Abel knew what it was. This ability might not be much on a normal Hell creature, but wielded by Lister the Tormentor, it could do an instant kill!

Luckily the angel avatar’s gray cloak had dispersed most of the impact. If not, that strike would have taken its life!

He quickly poured a bottle of Full Recovery Potion down and resumed the fight, but this time, he knew he should be much more careful!
