Chapter 1455: Baruch the Bloody
Without the protection of the other Hell creatures, Achmel the Cursed soon ran out of things it could do.
All of its attacks were focused on God Rank Two, who was using a poison antidote every five seconds. After ten rounds of full attacks, Achmel the Cursed began to swell in size. This time Abel had prepared and he immediately added a Full Recovery Potion on God Rank Two before Achmel the Cursed exploded.
However, this explosion was surprisingly small.
Little did Abel know that it was actually a poison explosion and would give anyone who touched it double the normal amount of poison damage.
Since a single poison attack could take eighty percent of health from God Rank Two, it would have been dead if Abel’s antidote had stopped working!
——
After Achmel the Cursed died, blood gushed out from the ground towards Abel once again.
This time Abel did not plan to dodge, but he was still worried if its blood had poison so he quickly added another antidote on himself. The familiar tingle of the blood entered his body, and energy started to charge towards his three Wizard Patterns crazily once again.
Since his Wizard Patterns were built from the Dark World’s energy in the first place, they automatically transformed into mana and the Power of Laws.
It only took him ten seconds before he was at the middle stage of Rank 33!
Abel sighed at the power of this energy. It was basically the same as hundreds of years of training for normal professionals in the central continent, but still, he felt a little unsatisfied that he hadn’t leveled up again.
Suddenly, the illusionary Diablo Cast another Aging Curse. It seemed that Diablo was not intelligent at all. Abel still had the Purify Aura covering him and the Aging Curse wouldn’t be effective on him.
Abel knew another round of Baal’s servants would soon appear, so he regrouped his team with his holy knights up front.
——–
When the Diablo laughed, Baruch the Bloody appeared on the platform, along with a bunch of Councilors.
They quickly Summoned ten Nine-Headed Hydras. Such irony! Abel had been killing Black Souls with his own Nine-Headed Hydras not long ago, and now they were the ones attacking him!...
A Helping Aura appeared among his team. It was the instinct of his holy knight Summons to protect against elemental attacks.
Abel was not planning to attack those Nine-Headed Hydras. The wiser move was to take down the Councilors who had Summoned them!
His seven holy knight Summons charged forward as Abel cast an Aging Curse for a slowdown. In just a second, the Councilors Summoned another round of Nine-Headed Hydras, and twenty Nine-Headed Hydras started to attack God Rank Three!
Considering how strong Baruch the Bloody was, a third of God Rank Three’s health was taken away in an instant.
If those councilors keep Summoning more Nine-Headed Hydras, deaths might actually occur in his team. His defense would take a big hit if that happened. After all, his current rank was not powerful enough to challenge the Throne of Destruction.
The Dark World had a different ranking system. A professional would become God Rank once he broke through Rank 35 and was able to control the laws of his inner world, allowing him to unleash hundreds of spells at once.
But in the Dark World, gear played a much bigger role and Abel’s Gear wasn’t powerful enough to face the Throne of Destruction, even though it was unlike anything in the central continent.
All he could rely on was the coordination he had with his Summons!
“Hold back Baruch the Bloody!” Abel called out.
Since the Nine-Headed Hydra he Summoned himself had the most powerful fireball, his team would have a very hard time if he Summoned another one.
However when God Rank Two was halfway through his charge, three more fireballs struck him and his health almost bottomed.
Abel felt his heart tensed as he Summoned the mud monster and gave God Rank Two a Full Recovery Potion through the Druid Soul.
As soon as the mud monster appeared, Baruch the Bloody slowed down once again. However, he still managed to Summon his fourth Nine-Headed Hydra and was now capable of killing Abel’s knight in an instant!
Suddenly, God Rank Three charged over to one of Baruch the Bloody’s Nine-Headed Hydras and unleashed a full attack.
The three remaining Nine-Headed Hydras focused their attacks on God Rank Three once again, and the mud monster jumped forward to block. A single fireball landed on it, and it was blasted to pieces.
Two fireballs landed on God Rank Two, but by that point he was closing in on Baruch the Bloody. Just when it was about to make a strike, Baruch the Bloody suddenly Flashed away, reappearing on another corner before it started to Summon more Nine-Headed Hydras.
“Damn it, extra fast!” Abel was fully focused on the battle and knew what had just happened.
Each Nine-Headed Hydras could take a third of the health from God Rank Two, and God Rank Three could only keep one occupied. Abel quickly thought of a solution.
All of his other holy knight Summons were keeping the Councilors occupied and he didn’t think he would be able to withdraw them. After all, his Spirit Guardian Knights would be smashed into pieces with just a few strikes.
Abel began to think about the spells he could use, all those from being a wizard, priests, and druid.
He quickly Summoned two Nine-Headed Hydras next to Baruch the Bloody.
It was Nine-Headed Hydras vs Nine-Headed Hydras, but Abel’s spells were blasted away before they even had the chance to attack.
That showed just how strong Baruch the Bloody’s Summoning spells were!
But the distraction was all he needed, and he could Cast his spells a little faster than Baruch the Bloody.
Doing this was like dancing on a wire, as a single mistake meant death!
Meanwhile, Abel’s wizard Summons were focused on attacking those Councilors. The number of normal Nine-Headed Hydras began to drop as Councilors were killed.
Baruch the Bloody kept Flashing around the hall. Since he was a Dark Gold boss as well as Baal’s servant, God Rank Two’s Holy Freeze did not do much to him, but Two kept chasing after him.
If Abel had not used his own Nine-Headed Hydras to distract Baruch the Bloody’s Nine-Headed Hydras, his team would have taken a huge loss.
As more and more Councilors dropped dead, Abel’s holy knight Summons were finally able to help God Rank Two and chase after Baruch the Bloody.
Abel let out a long breath of relief. It was a dangerous battle, and Abel had to keep Summoning Nine-Headed Hydras.
His seven holy knights finally began to do some damage to Baruch the Bloody, but the fight still had some time to go, considering how much health it had!
