Abe the Wizard Chapter 256 – Ring of the Bahamut Vampire

Chapter 256 Ring of the Bahamut Vampire

The attribute change formula of the Horadric Cube was as followed: three perfect gems + one blue item.

Abel had 90 more perfect gems in his kong kong spiritual beast bag. As for the blue quality items that he could use for this formula, the thing he had was the silver bat ring.

Abel emptied all the items in the Horadric cube, put it on the ground, put the three perfect gems in the Horadric Cube, and put the silver bat ring in it. He took a deep breath and pressed the transmute button with his power of the Will.

A white light appeared. Three perfect gemstones and the silver bat ring disappeared at the same time, and a new ring appeared in the lower right corner of the Horadric Cube.

Ring of Cobalt Power

+1 Strength

+30% cold resistance

“This is what it gives me? I’d rather have the original attribute instead!” Abel groaned. In fact, it wasn’t very likely for him to get a superb blue ring like this. To increase his odds of getting something with a good attribute, he needed a large number of magic gemstones to keep re-rolling with the Horadric Cube.

Abel placed another three perfect gems into the Horadric Cube. As he put the ring of cobalt power into it, he prayed to all the deity beings that he knew of. He wasn’t sure which one he should pray to, so he just prayed to all of them. Once he was done, he pressed onto the transmute button again.

The three perfect gemstones and ring of cobalt power in the Horadric cube disappeared in white light, and then a ring appeared in the lower right corner.

Emerald ring

+25% Poison resistance

It was worse than last time. Poison resistance? It’s just a garbage attribute that wouldn’t help in a fight.

Instead of praying to the gods, Abel tried to press the transmute button whilst performing different postures. He tried standing upside down, lying on the floor, standing with one leg, standing with one hand, standing with both hands, and so on.

And the resulting attributes were all crap compare to the silver bat ring. Abel was very frustrated now. He always considered himself to be extremely lucky, but luck, as it turned out, was not always on his side.

Abel stopped and looked at the blue ring in his hand.

Ring of Power

+1 Strength

Abel felt like punching the ground right now. One more time. If he was rolling a bad attribute for another time, he was just going to give up here.

Three more perfect gems were placed in the Horadric Cube. After that, it was the ring of power. Abel was a lot calmer now. Instead of doing anything weird this time, he just went ahead and pressed the transmute button.

Three perfect gems and ring of power disappeared in white light, and a blue ring appeared in the lower right corner of the Horadric Cube.

Bahamut’s Ring of Vampires

Steal 6% of your enemies’ mana when you hit them

+120 total mana point

Abel’s eyes widened his eyes when he first saw the attribute description of this ring. This was a full-value ring, otherwise known as a superb ring. It wasn’t the best thing there was, per se, but it was just as difficult to get.

With a smirk on his face, Abel gave a good look at the Bahamut ring of Vampire in his hand. Maybe the buddhas did reply to his prayers. As more weird thoughts filled up his brain, he began placing the ring around his finger.

As a chilling cold aura was released from the ring, it entered itself into Abel’s rank three apprentice wizard’s rune. Abel’s total mana point had risen from 310 to 430. At this point, he has already far surpassed most ordinary junior wizards. He wasn’t an official wizard, though, otherwise he would’ve been able to launch some very powerful spells.

Looking at the dozen or so perfect gems inside his kong kong spiritual beast bag, Abel couldn’t help but think about something. If these perfect gems were bought from the shops and not fused but eh Horadric Cube, his Bahamut ring of Vampire would probably be the most expensive magic item throughout the entire Holy Continent.

That being said, he couldn’t wait to try out his new ring. After jumping on Black Wind’s back, he rushed into the Cold Plains again with Ribs Bone No. 1, 2, and 3.

Half a day later, there was very little grass left on the ground. Actually, he could see the soil being stained black. It’s almost as if blood was poured on it several times over. Black Wind seemed to be particularly excited. Its probably found something with its great sense of smell.

And there, after walking for ten minutes on this black land, Abel heard some noise. He patted Black Wind on the back of its neck, and it slowed down its pace. They were trying to be stealthy, trying not to make any noise as they advanced themselves.

There was a small hill ahead. The sound came from the back of the hillside. Black Wind gently walked up the hillside. When Abel’s gaze could see from the hillside, his breath became somewhat nervous.

There was an army of fallen in front of them. It consisted mainly of fallen and corrupt wizards, and there were about tens of thousands of them. For all the time he’s spent inside the dark world, Abel had never seen so many of them at once.

There were countless large pots under the hill. Without even bothering to count them, Abel could tell that there were about hundreds of them. The hot air evaporating from the rolling black-red liquid in the pot covered the whole area, and there were one or two corrupt wizards next to each one of them.

The fallen danced around the cauldron. While doing so, they constantly called for their leader’s name, “Bishibosh.”

It was starting to make sense now. With so many fallen and corrupt wizards around, how was there not a leader to guide this army?

Abel took out a telescope and began to look for the mini-boss. Amongst the red sea he could see a huge bonfire from the back unit. They were probably trying to show who’s boss here.

At the edge of the huge fire, one golden figure was particularly noticeable. On his head, there was a pair of horns (which the hell creatures were most proud of), and although the figure looked kind of small, it was holding a staff that was clearly bigger than its body.

It was Bishibosh! Abel recognized this dark gold-level corrupt wizard. He was capable of resurrecting corrupt demons and the corrupt wizards. Under normal circumstances, without killing Bishibosh, the army of fallen could never be destroyed.

Abel was different, though. Every time he killed a hell creature, the Horadric Cube will suck the soul of the hell creature away. Without the souls of the dead units, Bishibosh could not revive them back.

Abel had his “Raven’s claw” fully pulled back. While doing so, the iron arrows he placed were glowing in hot red. When they exploded as they fell towards his enemies, the war officially began.

Abel shot several arrows towards the same area. He wasn’t happy with the damage that he was doing. These fallen were very resistant to fire spells. It would take four exploding arrows to kill about one of them. Sadly enough, the only one that died was killed because the arrow actually pierced through its body.

Abel withdrew the ‘Raven’s Claw’ in his hand. This was not the first time that he had encountered creatures with spell immunity. Last time, he fought some corrupt spearwomen with some very strong resistance against lightning. If it wasn’t for the mini-boss that was protecting, Abel could’ve ended that fight a lot easier.

Bishibosh was famous for its resistance against it. While fire magics were the strongest amongst basic spells, they were useless against it. Not only that, but Bishibosh could also strengthen the fire spell resistance of the surrounding hell creatures.

The army of fallen seemed angry when Abel shot his arrows at them. As many of them held up their knives and swords, they started charging towards Abel. While they were weak on their own, when there were so many of them going after him like this, it was still kind of scary for him.

Abel was still quite confident, though. Black Wind was fast, and since it could perform two “instantaneous movements” in one day, he could pretty much leave as soon as he wanted too.

While Abel prepared himself for the fight ahead, he told his three skeletons to back off. With so many enemies to fight, these minions weren’t going to do a lot to help.
