Abe the Wizard (WN)

No matter how loudly Baal screamed, he could not stop Abel's Kepler Snare from slowing him down and the Static Field from injuring him.

Still, the Static Field was not invincible. After Baal had lost half his health, the Static Field reached its limit and lost its power.

Abel quickly changed to a Blizzard Spell.

It was the most powerful ice spell, but it was another slow-casting spell, and Abel sensed a threat before he could finish it.

Without thinking, he Flashed and increased the distance between them.

Once half of Baal's health was gone, an extra ability was triggered.

The slowed-down Baal suddenly became blurry, and another Baal suddenly appeared in front of Abel's angel avatar.

It looked exactly like a Clone of the original Baal.

Abel immediately Flashed away again while throwing out two bottles of poison. It had been very hard to take half of Baal's health, and his effort would go to waste if he didn't keep it poisoned.

After Baal divided himself, his injuries remained, but the Slowing effect was gone.

The movement of Baal's two bodies were totally in sync, and he flashed towards Abel.

It was a very dangerous situation, so Abel activated the World Stone for analysis once again.

He needed to know which one was Baal's true body, as he couldn't tell with his normal eyes.

As the two Baals chased after Abel, he soon got his answer. One of them was extremely accurate in its Flashing, and the other was a little clumsy.

Abel looked around and saw he was approaching the side temple, so he entered while throwing out two Firewalls to block the entrance.

Of course, this wouldn't stop the Flashing Baal, but that wasn't his plan anyway.

A spark flashed from Abel's arm, and a Clone of Abel was also created. It was the Ancient Reflection Gear!

Abel's Clone did not have any fighting skills, but it could totally confuse his enemies.

The angel avatar then Flashed out of the temple and reappeared behind Baal before Flashing towards the center of the chamber again.

At that moment, the difference between Baal and its Clone became clear.

Baal's Clone was fixated on Abel's Clone, so it charged into the Firewall. But since Baal's true body had the World Stone, he turned and chased after the angel avatar .

Baal's two bodies were dragged apart and Abel stood on the stone bridge. But there was something special about that place: there were some special forces forbidding anyone from Flashing on it!

Abel's World Stone had informed him that this force was effective on Baal as well!

Since Baal's Clone was still far away, it shouldn't be able to make it here!

What Abel was doing was very risky, but it was worth a try. No matter what, this was the best opportunity to kill Baal, so he couldn't wait any longer.

The angel avatar stood in front while Abel's original body stayed behind.

Since the bridge was narrow, Abel only had to worry about attacks from the front.

When Baal stepped onto the bridge, he lost his Flashing ability.

Abel's angel avatar charged up. Since it was affected by the Defense Curse, its ability to protect itself was limited.

In a flash of red light, a Nova Blast sent four streams of hellfire towards the angel avatar.

Abel immediately downed a Full Recovery Potion to counteract it, but was still halted for a moment.

Baal immediately followed up with a White Frost, and Abel was knocked back once again and was back where he had started.

It was what Baal wanted. Although the bridge stopped his Clone from coming, it also affected Abel's ability to move. As long as Baal kept up his attacks, Abel couldn't do anything!

His angel avatar might be faster than Baal, but not in a place where it couldn't Flash!

Still, Abel kept calm and kept taking Full Recovery Potions. They would guarantee his safety, at least for a short amount of time.

Baal had learned its lesson from being too slow, so it exclusively used the Nova Blast and White Frost.

By this point the angel avatar was glued to Abel's original body. The White Frost kept knocking him back, but it didn't actually do that much damage.

Baal slowly approached the angel avatar with each strike. It looked like he was trying to calculate if Abel would use the Kepler Snare again.

After another White Frost, Baal finally decided to charge forward. Melee attacks were his strongest, after all!

Two claws sped towards the angel avatar and Abel couldn't do anything.

Abel quickly took in another Full Recovery Potion, his health rising up and down like a roller coaster.

It was a great opportunity for Baal to strike again and he wouldn't miss it, but it was at that very moment, the White Frost faded from Abel and the angel avatar directly unleashed a shield strike onto Baal's claw.

Baal did not care since it was not the Kepler Snare.

But at that very moment, a golden beam shot out from behind the Angel Shield and penetrated Baal's arm.

Indeed, it was the Kepler Snare, which Abel's original body had brought out from his holy portal bag!

It wouldn't have worked if Baal was using his World Stone, but just like that, Baal was slowed down once again.

Abel had been waiting for this. Baal let out a roar of fury.

Too bad, its Clone was still chasing after Abel's Clone, and Baal could not recall it to save himself from the slowing.

The angel avatar quickly struck again, and more wounds opened up on Baal.

Meanwhile, Abel's original body Cast the Blizzard slow flakes, which pounded down on Baal from above.

Baal was growing more agitated by the moment and it casted the Aging Curse on Abel.

However, that merely slowed down the angel avatar. Its attacks were just as strong!

Through Abel's World Stone, he calculated precisely, landing another strike with the Kepler Snare every thirty seconds.

It was at that moment that Abel realized that his Blizzard was just as effective as the Light energy of his angel avatar . Maybe ice spells were one of Baal's weaknesses, as well!

Blizzard spells shot out from both of his hands, and he pushed his ice power to the maximum.

Just as Abel was having the time of his life, a dark gold spark appeared above him and a dark gold ball of curse magic appeared.

Then the scariest thing happened, as all the spells he had Cast flew straight back at him!

They landed on his green energy shield, and it began to shake.

After rounds of attack, its green glow dimmed, almost like it was going to shatter at any moment.

Abel quickly stopped, feeling his heart drop again.

It had to be the Blood Mana Curse, which could return any spells upon their Caster. It was the nightmare of any spellcaster!

If the Oak Tree had not sacrificed its energy to give him its protection, he might have been killed before he could even use his Full Recovery Potion!

Abel stopped his spell attacks, but he continued with the Kepler Snare. No matter what, he was still dealing Baal some damage.

What happened was new to his World Stone, so Abel had been caught completely off-guard. After all, there was a limit to his World Stone, and he was reminded once again that he should be careful before he totally understood his enemy.
