Chapter 868: Guardian Beast

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

"Where is it?!" The priest yelled after casting 10 damage increase curses.

Abel stood at the side, but he could truly sense how powerful this priest was. He had just double spell cast in a row. This was a hard trick even for elite wizards.

Double spell casting needed one to be skilled at spell casting with both hands. The only reason Abel could do it was because he had the skill tree.

The power of the priest was on true display during the most dangerous moment. Abel began to doubt if he was holding back all these times.

Although Abel was holding back as well, he was always very careful around others who held back.

"Bighorn, that thing is underwater; your curses don't work underwater!" Half-elf Leon reminded.

Abel ignited his sigh and data analyzing ability and scanned the water. He was certain there were no signs of life. Something with the invincibility that trumped the world stone's power was impossible.

"Bighorn, where is the entrance? Making it back to the shore is not really possible now. We can only be in our best condition when we enter the ancient sight!" Abel said.

"Leon, go to the entrance. I'll protect you with a curse. It will show itself as soon as it comes out the water!" The priest said in command.

He knew Abel's suggestion was the best thing they could do. Barbarian was basically down. He couldn't even survive on the water without Abel's help, let alone making a move. Only half-elf Leon could do something with his poison creeper underwater.

"Ok!" Half-elf Leon said, and his poison creeper began to move.

Unknown danger was the worst type of danger. That monster was hidden, so no one knew when or where it was going to strike. So everyone focused all their attention on the water as soon as half-elf Leon began to move.

Suddenly, the poison creeper began to twitch viciously. Chaos emerged from the clam surface of the water.

"It is attracting my poison creeper!" Half-elf Leon yelled.

An ice pole spell pattern emerged on Abel's hand as he threw it towards the water near half-elf Leon. The surface was then frozen.

At the same time, Abel moved in a flash and reappeared on the frozen ice block in a flash of white light.

He cast another ice pole on his left and followed again with his right.

Half-elf Leon could no longer help his poison creeper. It kept twitching, and he could no longer stand still on it.

He felt his heart lifted as he saw Abel's ice blocks, so he immediately jumped on. "Thanks, Wizard Abel!"

Abel kept throwing out ice poles, and a path of ice was soon created.

Barbarian Ruin also felt his heart lift. He used his jumping skill and stepped on the ice path. "Thank you, Wizard Abel, he yelled as well.

By the time half-elf Leon stepped on the ice block, his poison creeper had lost many leaves and returned to his monster bag in a flash of white light.

Although it did not die, it could not fight any time soon. Without energy to nourish it, it might not even recover.

Half-elf Leon felt pain as he speeded towards the center of the lake. Abel kept casting ice poles towards the direction he was heading.

Barbarian roared 2 times as he stepped on the ice and added the roar and battle mode enchantment for Abel and half-elf Leon.

The priest saw what happened, and a gloomy look emerged in his eyes. He stopped the curse and cast a bone wall towards Abel's ice blocks.

He didn't want to stay and face that monster by himself.

He quickly ran forward, but something cracked before he stepped on the ice. His bone wall was shattered.

As the priest fell towards the water, he flicked with his hand, and a mud monster emerged below him, stopping his fall.

He was not looking good since the mud monster couldn't last long on the eater. It was not meant for the water since mud could dissolve, not to mention there was an invincible monster nearby.

The mud monster moved forward. The summons of priests could inherit any non spell ability of the priest, and swimming was one of them.

Suddenly the mud monster came to a halt. Suddenly it was like something had bit it, and a big chunk of its body was taken away, dissolving it even faster.

Although there were many possibilities, the priest did not expect his mud monster to be eaten. The mud monster was made entirely out of the mud. It had been beaten apart, dissolved, and burnt in past battles, but it had never been eaten. No spiritual beast would like to eat mud.

The priest felt his soul twitch. Although he was used to the soul impact of losing a summon, he was on the water. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he dropped down.

A spark of fear flashed in his eyes. He couldn't imagine being eaten alive by an invincible monster. He didn't want to die like that.

At that moment, another ice pole struck on the water below him.

"Bighorn, quick!" Barbarian Ruin yelled.

Abel continued to cast ice poles forward as he reached one hand back to connect the ice path to where the priest was standing.

The priest stepped on the ice. He did not feel any gratitude. Instead, he was bothered by how late Abel was to help him as he was focused on helping the other two.

As they sped forward, the ice path behind them began to break. The invincible monster realized its target was the center of the lake, so it could no longer hide and do nothing.

The priest ran for his life as he commanded his skeletons to attack the monster underwater.

However, before the first skeletons even got close, it was grabbed by an invincible tentacle, and its skull was blasted open. Its soul flame flicked underwater and vanished,

The second skeleton followed, but its fate was just the same. Their speed was nothing compared to the invincible monster underwater.

The priest held down the pain in his soul. His hatred for that monster shifted towards his hate for Abel. Abel helped way too late.

"Druid Leon, quick!" Abel yelled.

He was not planning to attack this monster ever since he realized that thing might have come out of the ancient sight.

He knew the power of an ancient sight guardian beast more than anyone because there was one in his Harry Castle back in the Holy Continent. It had killed a rank 18 wizard like it was nothing.

He was not hopeless against this invincible monster. As an elite wizard skilled in lighting spells, he could use a thunderstorm to make this invincible enemy show itself.

However, he would not attack this potential ancient sight guardian beast without his summons.

He was not a god. he wouldn't risk his life to test out the power of this thing. He needed to help his teammate, but he also needed to ensure his safety.

Although he was focused on making an ice path, his power of the will did not relax. He clearly sensed the attack of that invisible monster.

The power of something with the ability to bite a mud monster in half and smash a skeleton in one strike sent chills down his spine. He began to doubt if he could even keep himself safe.

He had it planned. He would summon Flying Flame and fight that thing from the sky as soon as he was in trouble, even if that exposed a part of his true strength.

"We are almost at the entrance!" Half-elf Leon yelled in excitement.

Because of this, the invincible monster was growing desperate. Water splash opened, and a giant invisible Jumped out towards the priest at the back under the beaming sunlight.

Abel could already guess the weakness of this monster, its speed. As a Wizard who could move in a flash on top of a mount enchanted by hell's extra fast, that speed was nothing. But still, it was very fast for his 3 teammates.

Abel let out a big breath of relief.

The priest didn't even look back. He automatically threw out a bone wall behind him. It was fast, but his heart was pounding in pain.

He had just used a bone wall scroll he made by himself. A priest's scroll was much more valuable than a wizard's one. That scroll he just used worth at least a few hundred intermediate gems.

That was only the initial cost, not to mention the bone wall rank and all the time of training he sacrificed.

His hatred for Abel grew because he knew Abel could counteract the attack of that monster with just one lightning strike.

However, Abel did not think like that. He was just another member of the team. Why did he have to go the extra mile?

He already saved the others in the team and formed an ice path for them.

This was already beyond anything the others have done.

Attacking an unknown, invisible monster for no reason was not something anyone in the team would do.

According to the rules of adventure, you only have to help others when your life was not threatened.

The bone wall did not last for long. It was soon shattered by the monster.

At the same time, he finished his aging spell, and a cursed cloud appeared above the monster.

The cursed rain poured down, and a white glow of cursed energy emerged on the head of that monster. It was slowed down.

The priest held down his pain and followed up with a bone spear towards that invisible monster.

A high-level spell, especially a controlled high-level spell, was more complicated than a normal spell. Therefore it had taken the priest a long time to ignite it.

After throwing out 2 bone spear, his controlled spell was ready. He stopped attacking the monster and unleashed death qi on his hand. All of a sudden, the circular bone wall surrounded the ice around the monster.

It was the high-level priest spell bone prison.
