Chapter 684 - Orc God Blood
684 Orc God Blood
When White Snow’s claw made contact with the long blade of the blood-red skeleton again, the skeleton warhorse under the skeleton fell back again.
At that moment, Abel made a move. He dashed towards the back of the skeleton horse and slashed with his knight sword.
The blood-red skeleton suddenly reached one of its hands backward and blocked Abel. When they made contact, the only thing that happened to its hand was a long mark.
A flash of doubt emerged from his eyes. This blood-red skeleton was so perfect when it came to its body or fighting ability; even Abel could not believe it. Abel already had his sight, and data analyzing ability was fully ignited. It could predict the most accurate move at immaculate speed.
On top of that, this blood-red skeleton was not fighting Abel alone. All this time, White Snow did not stop its claw attack.
Abel continued his attack and kept finding different ways to strike the skeleton from the back. However, what it did had made Abel’s jaw drop. Although it was kept knocked back by White Snow, it could still perfectly counteract every strike by Abel.
Abel no longer felt like he was battling with a skeleton, but an extremely skilled and experienced knight. If this blood-red skeleton was an actual knight, he would be more powerful than any knight in Miracle City.
Even a powerful top rank spiritual beasts like White Snow, with the help of Abel, could not do anything to this skeleton in a short period of time.
The fight continued for another hundred seconds, but the blood-red skeleton suddenly slowed down. A perfect opportunity was opened up to Abel. His knight sword viciously struck out and plunged into the spine of the blood-red skeleton.
White Snow also landed its sharp claws on its skull, and that blood-red skeleton immediately turned into a pile of scattered bones.
Abel watched as the blood-red skeleton die in front of him and let out a breath of relief.
He was not aware of how prepared the past orcs were in the past ceremonies. Unlike the orcs this time, they had more than enough heavy weapons, and they would slowly push through these battles with coordination.
After countless years of orc god ceremony, the orcs had developed a set of skills to battle in the orc god ceremony dimension. Those skeletons on skeleton horses had their weakness, and the orcs had methods to deal with it.
This orc god ceremony was special, so Abel did not have a chance to see all the preparation the orcs had done to rip the most benefits from the orc god ceremony.
When Abel felt like a huge rock was lifted off him after killing a powerful enemy, the red color on that pile of scattered bones began to concentrate as those bones slowly turned white.
Soon an eerie red blood-colored liquid emerged on the remaining bones. Abel gazed at it and thought to himself, “It’s a drop of blood! The orc god Blood!”
He wrapped the orc god blood with his power of the will. He sensed that the orc god blood was sucking energy from the surroundings, making its energy wave stronger.
He suddenly understood why the blood-red skeleton had slowed down so abruptly. The attack from White Snow and himself was too exhausting for the orc god blood to sustain.
Abel took out a little bottle from his bag and carefully poured the orc god blood into it.
He didn’t care what kind of blood this actually was, but looking at how powerful it’s life force was, the legend of extending lifespan for 100 years wouldn’t be too far fetched.
He was still young, so he could only keep these life-extending substances as a collectible for now.
From what he saw through his power of the will, you must need a strong vitality before you ingested these orc god blood. If not, your body might explode from this vast amount of energy.
Therefore, these orc god blood were only suitable for head commanders; if those intermediate human wizards from Miracle City had found out about this earlier, what would they think?
Abel put the orc god blood in his pocket and kept moving forward. At first, he hesitated a little, but then his gaze grew certain again.
“White Snow, let’s go!” He yelled and dashed deeper.
Another 30 skeletons on a skeleton horse emerged, but this time, there was no blood-red skeleton.
With the help of White Snow, Abel’s speed had dramatically increased. Especially without those crazy movements of the blood-red skeleton.
After a few miles, a hill emerged from the endless sea of bones.
Abel had undergone quite a few battles and gained quite a few perfect skull gems. Finally, he arrived in front of the hill.
The hill was quite high, and it was made entirely out of bones. Abel stepped on the staircase, which was also made out of bones. A disgusting cracking sound emerged, adding to the even more eerie atmosphere in the sea of bones.
After a while of walking, he successfully reached the top of the hill. What he saw was a grey-white platform.
In the center of this platform, there was a drop of orc god blood floating in mid-air.
It seemed like this platform was made for rewarding a successful challenger, so Abel just went straight for it and bottled up the orc god blood. He then put the bottle back in his pocket.
This hill was around 20 meters tall, but it looked massive in the middle of this sea of bones. Abel spread out his gaze.
There looked to be no end to this sea of bones. He could see quite far, but the edge was nowhere to be found.
White Snow landed on his shoulder, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
Wasn’t White Snow a flying mount? Could he just fly further without a battle?
Abel told White Snow what he was thinking through the soul chain, and White Snow let out a gentle screech. It then lowered its body, allowing Abel to climb on top. Afterward, it spread its wings and flew straight upward.
The sky in this place was quite strange. Something was binding White Snow from flying too high. Every time it tried to fly above 100 meters, it would bounce back.
After a few miles of flying, it was blocked by an energy wall.
“White Snow, land!” Abel commanded.
As soon as Abel jumped down, another 30 skeletons on a skeleton horse emerged. However, Abel no longer had any interest in fighting them. He couldn’t wait to see what was up with this energy wall.
“White Snow, kill them!” Abel commanded again.
Afterward, he began examining the energy wall. He struck it a few times with his knight sword, but it was completely useless.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the orc god ceremony dimension turned red, and a powerful, transparent force began to suppress his body. Afterward, he vanished from the orc god ceremony dimension in a flash.
White Snow let out a sad screech. It quickly forgot about the skeletons and flew towards the place where Abel had vanished. However, its owner was nowhere to be found.
Abel also didn’t know what was happening. The powerful force suppressed him. He couldn’t breathe. If his power of the will wasn’t so strong, perhaps even his thoughts would be suppressed.
Everything swirled around him, and soon he landed from mid-air. He heard a cracking noise the moment he made contact with the ground like he had crushed something.
He frantically began to inhale. The suppression just then was too painful. Luckily, it didn’t last too long and cause any injuries to his body. However, this could only apply to Abel. His body and power of the will were extremely strong.
If a normal orc had been suppressed like this, it’s power of the will would definitely get damaged or directly crushed to death even if its body could sustain it.
Abel reached his hand out. He couldn’t see anything, but through his power of the will, he could tell he was in some kind of dumping ground. There were all kinds of useless weapons, armors, and rotting bodies. These dead bodies included Head Commander Donald and the 4 intermediate wizards who had attacked him and the 24 orcs and their mounts.
