Chapter 240 Something Different About the Impose Pressure

Abel took another look at Rib Bone no. 2 and no. 3. The buff did work on them, that’s for sure. However, it was nowhere as obvious as the improvement that Rib Bone no. 1 was making.

From what it looked like, the “soul potion” was meant for increasing the EX point of a skeleton. That couldn’t all there was to it, though. Rib Bone no. 1 was a clear example. After having both its soul and bones strengthened, it was now on a completely different level to the other skeletons.

“Resurrection of the skeleton” was now level five. So even if it was just Rib Bone no. 1 that was getting buffed, the other two skeletons would also be “passively” strengthened at the same time.

Black Wind also wanted some of the soul potion. As it wiggled its tail and circled around Abel, Abel padded it on the head.

“You’re a mount wolf, Black Wind! You’re not a dog, for crying out loud!” Abel scolded him but laughed out loud at the same time.

After reminding Black Wind that it was a wolf, Abel opened another bottle of the soul potion and poured it inside Black Wind’s mouth. Black Wind fell asleep right after that.

Abel took out “Akara’s tent.” He wanted the soul potion to take the maximum effect. To do so, he needed the support of the meditation jade, which was why he placed himself on top of the meditation jade floor tile.

It was now his own turn. Abel calmed himself down, then took out another bottle of the soul potion. As the liquid transformed into a shapeless mist of essence, it entered his psyche and boosted up his thought process.

Abel was thinking about his alchemy skills right now. In his mind, he could picture an imaginary figure brewing all the recipes that he knew about. Some of the more complicated recipes (especially the elven perfume) were imagined repeatedly, as Abel thought about the combinations he could alter for each and every step.

Abel even imagined adding all the plants that he had encountered before. After doing many, many experiments himself, he was now extremely sensitive towards how different scents would perform in a pot mixture.

The “beginner’s alchemy rune” inside Abel was continuously glowing. Unfortunately for Abel, he knew too little about alchemy. If it wasn’t for this, he would’ve made a lot more progress with his simulation training. When the effect of the soul potion was gone, he was just a little far away from becoming an intermediate alchemist.

Abel didn’t stop there. He took out another bottle of the soul potion and drank all the liquid inside. This time, he wanted to create a super exploding ball.

Abel imagined a man painting a rune of Ral, which was typically used for creating a super exploding ball. After he was done, the rune exploded immediately. This was happening all inside Abel’s imagination, of course.

How could he delay the explosion? Abel was lucky that he had an imaginary man testing it for him. If he was doing the same experiment in the real world, he would’ve died after making one little mistake. Inside his head, he had the freedom of adding a few more strokes to the rune. He could erase some lines, too. He could change some of the patterns, even.

No matter how much change Abel added, the rune of Ral would remain the same for the most part. After all, it was an absolutely crucial part of releasing all the energy inside a perfect Redstone.

After modifying the whole pattern by adding one more circulatory rune, Abel was able to delay the explosion for about half of a second. After a few more tests that were based on this discovery, the explosion was successfully delayed for eight seconds in total. Eight seconds might not sound very long, but it was enough for him to escape for his life.

Abel opened his eyes as he ended the simulation. He was very fired up after boosting up his brain for two times in a row. He felt kind of tired at the same time, though. For the last few days, he’s spent all his time fighting and resting in the wild. He needed a good sleep once he got back to Moon Guardian City.

Abel went back to lie on top of the bed that was made of ambergris timber. He wanted to sleep, but he suddenly remembered about the crystal ore he retrieved from the Ice Fire Ape Cave, he decided to take the thing out and finally have a good look at it.

As he learned his lessons from last time, Abel didn’t grab the blue crystal ore with his hand. Instead, he placed right on top of his bed. As soon as he did so, an overwhelming aura swept across the entire room, which pressed onto him so hard that he had to surround his entire body with his combat qi.

Even a full combat qi armor wasn’t enough. Abel quickly sealed his body with another layer of ice armor. He felt a lot less overpowered after that.

Suddenly, it felt like the bed was sucking all the pressure that it released. It was like there was a black hole in the middle of the room. Soon, Abel felt a lot better since all the impose pressure was gone.

So that’s what it was. After Abel threw the crystal ore on his bed, it quickly dampened the mattress with the cold water that was dripping out of it. And in a very short amount of time, the ore itself was cold enough to freeze everything back together. When the crystal core and the bed froze together, the ambergris timber that was used to make the bed sucked all the impose pressure into itself.

Abel wasn’t sure if the crystal ore broke because of that. After scanning it with his power of the Will, he could see that the amount of energy in it remained the same. As it turned out, the ambergris timber was just sucking out all the impose pressure that was released. It wasn’t like the timber was sucking energy from right inside the ore’s center.

It was a truly bizarre thing to see. The ambergris bed was releasing very warm energy, and this energy was wrapping around Abel’s body. Abel could feel his soul being nourished by this strange phenomenon. He could feel his soul becoming more aggressive. He couldn’t tell if that was a good thing or not, but he had a real transformation here.

The only thing that Abel could do was to wait. He didn’t know what the ambergris bed was doing to him, so he had to wait for everything to be over. He was immobilized at the moment. His body couldn’t move because his soul was too busy to focus on the change that it was experiencing.

Tick. Tock. As time passed by, the ambergris bed began to tremble for a bit. Just when Abel had lost track of time, a loud “boom” came from the bed.

Abel fell from the bed. He was on the floor and was watching as the ambergris bed became a pile of power.

Abel stood up after pressing the floor with one of his arms. He didn’t know when, but he was free to move from a while ago. More confusingly for him, he didn’t know how the ambergris bed turned into a bunch of power.

Luckily enough, the crystal ore was still intact. It did lose some of its impose pressure, but the energy inside was still just as powerful.

Abel scanned his own body with the power of the Will. He couldn’t find anything wrong with it. He tried to release some impose pressure from inside his body, and suddenly, a frightening amount of imposue pressure came out of him.

For a bit there, Abel became kind of scared of himself. So this was the combined power of a soul transformation plus his own aura. Abel was even starting to doubt that the crystal ore was actually the legendary “dragon crystal.”

Worgen Fowler’s ambergris bed was, by no means, an ordinary bed. After searching far and wide amongst his own kind, he managed to have the priest in his clan, making it for him. If it wasn’t for the energy that slowly transferred into his soul from the ambergris bed, he would’ve never become a head commander of the wolfriders at the age that he was at.

What Abel did just did, well, let’s just say that it was completely unthought. No one would expect someone to throw an entire dragon crystal ore on top of an ambergris timber bed. Abel could’ve have known about this, but it actually forced out all the energy inside the bed and transferred it into his own body. Because of how much energy was used during this process, the bed had to destroy itself afterward.

Abel’s impose pressure was now in the rank of a human knight’s commander. If he restrained himself, he could subdue a weaker opponent without even fighting him. If the opponent was far weaker than him, he could instantly kill him just by releasing the impose pressure.

Abel hadn’t had a lot of opportunities to test out his impose pressure, but he could certainly subdue a fellow knight’s commander at his current level. As for a head knight’s commander, he wasn’t quite sure, actually. That was in a league far from his own understanding.

All in all, this journey inside the dark world was very fruitful for Abel. Not only did he found his first dark gold item, the “Raven’s claw,” he’s also found a blue quality “silver bat’s ring.” He’s also buffed Rib Bone no. 1, too. Most importantly, his own soul was strengthened after drinking the soul potion.
