Abel didn’t plan to live in the palace. Although it was a lot more luxurious than the hotel, it would be a huge task to clean up every corner. On top of that, he felt more comfortable in the hotel anyway.

It was lonely living in a deserted palace by himself. It was like the Dark World was not lonely enough by itself already.

Abel returned to the hotel. The spirit guardian knights had already cleaned up everything. It was still deserted as always, but it seemed like it had regained a tiny bit of life.

Then, he took out a few bottles of wine from his portal bracelet and placed it on the wine cabinet. Then, he took out some crystal glasses and put them on display as well. All of a sudden, the hotel had gained another bit of life.

He walked upstairs and arrived in the largest room. He swapped out all the bedsheets to make the Dark World feel a little bit more like home.

Abel scanned the map of Lut Gholein again and marked 3 places he wanted to go.

First was the Rocky Waste, which he would need to set off from the Lut Gholein City Gate. There were a lot of hell creatures gathering there, and he had to go through that place if he wanted to go any further.

The second was the sewer of Lut Gholein, which he would need to find Radament’s nest. The legends said that Radament had a book that could increase ability. It should be good.

The third was the Palace Cellar under the palace of Lut Gholein. There was a powerful Wizard Summoner there.

Considering his abilities, Abel decided to head to the sewers first. The hell creatures in Lut Gholein no longer just had physical attacks. Most of them could make attributed attacks.

The hell creatures here had the fighting power of low ranking wizards In the Holy Continent, so it would be a big challenge for Abel. At this moment, he could only take it slow. He had to and get used to their attributed attacks while increasing his own ability.

Abel led the spirit guardian knights to the side of the harbor and found a way to the first level of the sewer. The dark red eternal flame of hell kept flickering in the dark, which made every inch of the sewer glow red.

As soon as the 8 spirit guardian knights took a turn up front, Abel heard countless arrows flying through mid air. Afterward, flaming arrows began to emerge under the sewer.

By that point, the spirit guardian knight already flashed towards the direction where the arrows were coming from. Their flashing ability killed the long distance hell creatures.

Abel held the Leaf Magic Staff in his hand.

He dashed forward with Black Wind under him, and soon he had spotted the first hell creatures of Lut Gholein, a Burning Dead Archer. It was a red colored skeleton archer with fire attributes.

A ‘Fireball’ pattern emerged in front of Abel’s leaf magic staff, and a fireball shot towards 3 Burning Dead Archer leaning together. The fireball blast the burning dead archer in the middle, while the other two were engulfed in flame.

Abel frowned a little. His Fireball was noticeably weaker. These archers had some kind of fire resistance.

Only the elite hell creatures would have attribute resistance in the Rogue Encampment, but it was just a norm on Lut Gholein. They really were a lot stronger.

Just as Abel was getting a little distracted, a spirit guardian knight was attacking a Burning Dead Archer on the other side of the battlefield. Also, at the same time, 5 other Burning Dead Archers put their bows together and shot 5 flaming arrows toward the spirit guardian knight.

The spirit guardian knight blocked with its shield without stopping its own attack. However, only one flaming arrow landed on its shield. The other 4 had landed on its armor.

That was the downside of not enough battle experience. Although its technique were perfect, the first flaming arrow had blasted its shield away with fire elements.

Although the 4 arrows were not strong, the blast that came afterward sent a shock to Abel’s brain. The spirit guardian knight had become disconnected.

“Unleash fire enchantment, get ready to dodge!”Abel yelled at the spirit guardian knight captain. By that point, he began regretting not testing out the attack power of those Burning Dead Archers before unleashing his own attack.

Flashes of red lights emerged from the spirit guardian knight captain, and the 6 leftover spirit guardian knights followed. The spirit guardian knight captain’s fire enchantment had given its teammates some fire resistance.

Abel swapped out the Leaf Magic Staff to the Pelta Lunata and the Jade Tan Do. The golden glow of his lightning attributed combat qi infused with white lightning flashes wrapped around the Jade Tan Do.

The Burning Dead Archer’s attack was more powerful than he had expected, so he wanted to join the attacking team to minimize their chance of them shooting arrows again.

Abel’s soul was infused with Black Wind’s. In a flash of lightning, they appeared next to the Burning Dead Archers. The Dark Gold blade in his hand ruthlessly brushed upon their waist, and the lightning attributed combat qi damaged them quite a lot. Soon, those archers’ attention began to shift towards Abel.

A few flaming arrows flew towards him. Since he already knew their power, Abel told Black Wind to perfectly dodge every arrow when they were running.

Abel kept attacking the archers as he speeded through a rain of flaming arrows. All of a sudden, he had also or attracted all the attention.

At that moment, the spirit guardian naga had 4 green glowing balls on its back and threw it to the battlefield. Its poison attacks weren’t harmful to Abel and the other summons.

Green fog surrounded the battlefield, and the battle had quickly ended. Naga had inherited the poison attack from Andariel. Although it’s power was not as strong, Abel should definitely not underestimate it.

Afterward, the spirit guardian lifted up the heads of those Burning Dead Archers and sucked their soul flames dry. It was one of the ways they increased their own ability, as well as grasp the skills of the archers.

While Abel watched the scene, data in regards to the battle began to flash in front of his eyes.

The attack of those Burning Dead Archers had reached level 40 among hell creatures. Also, from the fire spells he just unleashed, they had at least 50%of fire resistance. Just from looking at this, the hell creatures in Lut Gholein were nightmares.

If the spirit guardian knights were not equipped with a full set of magic gear as well as the level 20 ‘Skeleton Resurrection’ as support, there was no way they could fight against these hell creatures with 500 points of health.

Most importantly, these Burning Dead Archers were skilled in long distance attacks. Since the spirit guardian knights were skilled in close distance, they lost a large amount of fighting power against these scattered groups of Burning Dead Archers. Abel could only ground them by attracting all their attention at once.

Because of the difference in level, the soul of flames of those Burning Dead Archers had strengthened the spirit guardian knights quite a bit, and their bodies had undergone some noticeable changes. But of course, Abel wouldn’t have noticed these changes without the little piece of World Stone.

Abel then summoned a new skeleton from the corpse of the strongest looking Burning Dead Archer. It was too bad Abel just got a normal skeleton from it. This made Abel wonder if he should always keep space open for a new spirit guardian. That way, he could keep summoning them, and one day an alteration would occur, and he would have another deformed spirit guardian knight like Naga.

This battle had pushed Abel to speed up his plan to make new gear for the spirit guardian knights. More powerful gears could increase their abilities by a lot.
