Chapter 689 – Feeble Curse

Black Wind was fast. In no time, it was already running on that stone path with all kinds of engravings. Suddenly a cold chill emerged above Abel’s head. Something glowing red emerged.

Afterward, raindrops of the curse began to pour down and landed on him and Black Wind. Both he and Black Wind had been recognized as one being by this curse.

Afterward, a greyish-white glow emerged above him. Suddenly, he felt like his life force was being drained. His body could only operate half as well as he could.

Black Wind was also in the same situation. Its speed had decreased, and those 8 especially strong skeletons, were quickly catching up from behind.

If Abel was not caught destroying the orc god’s holy object on the spot, maybe he could use some special method to escape, but now he could no longer do that. If he exposed his identity, the orc empire would send out all of their forces to capture him.

Therefore, Abel could not do anything too flashy. His domain had just been established; he could not afford to take ruthless revenge from the orcs.

Abel quickly turned on his sight and data analyzing ability and examined the curse on his body. This curse was unique to elite priests. It was named ‘feeble,’ but no matter what, it’s the source of energy was still death qi.

Through his power of the will, he could clearly see that this ‘feeble’ curse was burning death qi to continue its damage.

Therefore, he wanted to ignite his druid soul to absorb the death qi, breaking this curse’s core.

However, the death qi used in this ‘feeble’ curse was a lot more tightly bound than he had expected. The speed of absorption would be slower than the casting spell; this could not work.

On top of that, this curse was used to target the soul. As long as he kept his soul in operation, this curse could not be broken until it faded automatically.

Suddenly, Abel had an idea. What if he just directly swapped out his soul. Others couldn’t, but that didn’t mean Abel couldn’t.

In a split moment, Abel let his druid soul take control. The curse suddenly vanished like magic, and Black Wind had also regained its speed.

As long as Black Wind could reach full speed again, there was no way elite priest Dono could catch him.

Suddenly, a skeleton was approaching, so Abel quickly stabbed towards the back with his spear. A green glow was carried over. It was the royal wolf secret technique.

The skeleton violently blocked with his knight sword—a perfect knight move.

Abel couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony. A real human head Commander was fighting with an orc’s secret technique, and a skeleton summoned by an elite priest was fighting with the perfect knight technique.

This skeleton seemed like a human Head Commander in the past.

Dong! A wave of death rushed towards Abel’s body. This was why an elite priest’s skeleton was a lot scarier than the ones by intermediate or beginner priests.

Abel was quite experienced with death qi. Before the death qi even made contact with him, he had already opened up a pathway from his arm to his secondary soul. All the death qi was absorbed, and it soon turned into colorless energy for his soul.

Since Abel was fighting with his secondary soul, he basically felt no emotion. With a strike, he had stunned that skeleton motionless for half a second.

Although it was only half a second, Black Wind had already dragged out a great distance with its immense speed.

Abel felt like the skeletons were falling behind. A sound of something penetrating through the air erupted; Abel spread out his power of the will, scanning everything in the range of 240 meters.

Soon, he spotted a bone spear entering his range, sending a shockwave through the atmosphere. If he didn’t have his sight and data analyzing ability ignited, it would be tough to dodge a spear of this speed.

A bone spear was the most powerful direct attack spell of a priest. It’s penetrating ability and speed was horrifying, and due to its range, it could be used to attack faraway targets.

Abel gently twisted, and that bone spear had swooped past a few centimeters beside him like he was invisible. It was a perfect dodge.

“Huh?” Elite priest Dono was stunned for a moment. How could he miss him? He cast a curse as well as throwing out a long-distance attack.

He then drew with his hand in mid-air, and an ironstone monster emerged by his side. This thing looked quite strange. Not only was it fully made out of iron, but there was also a chair on it’s back.

That iron monster was not that tall, so elite priest Dono climbed on top of it and sat on the chair. That iron monster then viciously dashed forward. Its speed was scary. Although it was still no match to Black Wind at full speed, it was far more powerful than any other mounts.

As Black Wind kept running, the 8 skeletons had soon fallen behind far away. Even that iron monster elite priest Dono was riding could not catch up. It was too late. He watched as the shadow of Black Wind faded into the horizon. Abel had memorized all the paths of this place. He knew there was a protection circle upfront.

“White Snow, break that protection circle!” Abel could no longer wait. He needed to penetrate that protection circle immediately to escape from Nam mountain.

White Snow flew up from his shoulder, and it’s body immediately expended. A chilling wind rushed out from its beak, and that protection circle was helplessly torn apart.

There were around 10 Pecker knights riding boars guarding outside, and they were ready to stop Abel as soon as the circle was broken.

However, those Pecker knights did not expect an elite spiritual beast, White Snow.

Those Pecker knights had reached the level of a head wolf rider captain. They were basically one in a hundred thousand, an extremely rare occurrence.

To make artificial death ground to harvest skull gems, most priests would breed Pecker orcs. These pecker knights were just the odd ones out.

However, in the face of something even scarier than an elite wizard, an elite spiritual beast, those Pecker knights didn’t even get the chance to charge before a wave of chill struck them.

In a flash, all ten of them had been frozen. They were then smashed into frozen pieces of meat as White Snow directly bumped into them.

Black Wind kept running as it trembled on the scattered pieces of frozen meat.

White Snow kept opening up the path, while Black Wind followed behind. Soon all the protection circles along the way were destroyed.

White Snow was flying extremely low. In this tightly guarded place, the sky was not safe. As far as Abel knew, the orc empire had already grasped the technique of making crossbows. Although they were not as powerful as those from the dwarfs, locking down a mountain was still possible.

That was why he did not let White Snow fly too high, and White Snow listened to his command.

Even a powerful pseudo dragon, like Flying Flame, had almost died in defense of a dwarf city, so you could imagine how scary crossbows were.

Abel did not want to risk too much; breaking through on the ground was the safest method.

With White Snow up front and the speed of Black Wind closely following behind, Abel finally had the chance to shift his attention towards his headmaster identity card to connect with the commander spirit.

“Commander spirit, scan the environment!” He commanded.

Soon, gentle energy like the power of the will shot out from the headmaster identity card towards all directions.

Afterward, the commander spirit reflected the condition of everything 10 miles from Abel into his power of the will.

From the scan, there were not many orcs in the biggest orc god temple, and most of them did not know how to stop him. He just needed to break through 3 more barriers, and he would be out of the Nam Mountain.

As soon as he was out, he could jump of White Snow and fly towards the sky. Then, he would be able to truly say he had escaped from the orcs.
