Chapter 638 White Bone Armor

The blue falcon looked like it was drunk. It wanted to fly steadily in the air, but its body just kept wobbling and gradually descending.K3308 laughed, “I knew it! I knew it! K3516 just used to drum to attack the enemy scout. Oh, my! It’s so relieving to see that annoying bird gone!”

Head Commander Bodley laughed too, “You’re right about the relieving part. Now that K3516’s done it, I’m sure that they won’t be sending any more scouts to spy on us.”

It was the same for Head Commander Edi. As the leader of this operation, it was very relieving to see the scouts being taken down. The humans were finally free to move without being tracked all the time.

On the other hand, the orcs were not having a good time. After the blue falcon fell from the sky, the scout that was possessing it sustained the same amount of damage that it took. He howled as he kept on bleeding out, but the other ten soldiers couldn’t do anything about it. Soon, he just died after his last breath.

“No! Damn it!” the head wolfrider captain screamed. It was not just him. All of them were losing hope of finding Abel.

Meanwhile, Abel was packing up the orc war drum. As powerful as it seemed, he wasn’t very satisfied with its overall effectiveness. If it took about thirty hits for him to kill the blue falcon, it’d be almost impossible to kill an orc with this drum. Instead of thinking the war drum as a weapon to kill, it was better to treat it as a tool to weapon a horde of enemies.

Orcs were supposed to be twice as strong as humans. After being cursed with the war drum, their powers would be weakened by about 30 percent. That was if every one of them that were hit within a ten mile radius. If they were about 10 to 15 miles away, it’d be roughly 10 percent of their total power.

Of course, that was if Abel was in the ideal situation to use the drum. For it to really work, he had to be using it at a place that was relatively safe. By the way, it would be perfect if he was using it to defend a fort. If he could use the drum for about twenty minutes inside the fort, the aggressors would fall.

For now, Abel was just happy that the war drum could kill the blue falcon. After he packed up the war drum, he decided to reach for the grey-hooded priest’s portal bone ring. He was curious to find out why all the powerful priests were using it.

When he scanned the inside of the portal bone ring with his power of the Will, he could see that there was a space of about ten cubic meters. It contained a huge amount of skeleton gemstones, which made him have a very wide grin on his face.

There were also some other items. There were a lot of jars, actually. Looking back, since the previous user was using the “poison explosion” spell, he was probably very acknowledged in the use of various types of poison.

Instead of risking his own safety, Abel decided to deal with the jars later. He was pretty confident in his own resistance against poison but now was not the time.

“And this is?”

He decided to take a book out from the portal bone ring. The cover was made with human skin. There was no way that this was made in the human world. As repulsive as it was, he tried to open it up to have a look.

From the contents, it was a book on how to cast different spells. There were a lot of various annotations written inside. A lot of it was opinions on what casting the spells felt like. Abel tried to glimpse for any useful information he could find.

Slowly and steadily, a smile revealed on his face. He noticed that there was a full set of spell magic runes. It was the spell rune for the “white bone armor” spell, the best defensive spell there was against physical attacks.

The “white bone armor” was the three bone shields that were floating around the grey-hooded priest when he was still alive. As the most important defensive tools for priests, they must always have it activated when they were facing against human head knight’s commander.

It was a shame, though. Even if Abel had learned how to use it, there was just no way he could use it on the Holy Continent. People were going to think that he had surrendered himself to the orcs. Still, he wouldn’t have to worry about that if no one was watching. He could use it all he wanted during his fights in the dark world.

Most crucially, the “white bone armor” was not a spell that would overlap with a wizard’s defensive spell. That meant was that it was possible for him to have both the “white bone armor” and the “frozen armor” on at the same time. That would help him to increase his defensive ability exponentially.

After swiping in the air with his finger, a spell rune appeared in Abel’s hands. His genius helped him create the spell rune even if it was his first time. When it began to take shape, it started sucking the death qi that was around him.

If Abel was a priest, he could hasten the process by inserting his own death qi. Still, he had other ways to make up for it. By switching to his druid spirit, he was able to produce an extremely pure type of death qi that made its way into the spell rune.

When the spell rune was completely filled, a grey light began to sparkle all over it. Then, a powerful death qi started surging into Abel’s body. The death qi was being redirected back into his druid spirit after being neutralized again. This way, Abel wouldn’t have to worry about having his muscles and skin corroded by the death qi.

After all that was done, the three bone shields were summoned out of thin air. They started floating and spinning around Abel. When he tried to touch them with his hands, he realized that they were just phantoms floating about.

From what it looked, the three shields weren’t exactly covering his entire body. However, that was far from being the case. The bone shields were actually meant to protect him from attacks coming from all directions.
