Abel started to count his remaining Runes after he made the Chain of Honor armor.

Most of them were used up on those two armors. The holy sword and shield did not need replacing.

There is also a replacement Rune Word, “Fortitude”, in the angel avatar’s portal bag, which could give it an extra +300 close range attack when needed.

But when he needed to drag out his fight with Baal, he could easily use the Enigma Armor’s move to Flash away.

The only thing lacking was a helmet. By this point, Abel no longer cared about the Gear for his original body. After all, it was not his main weapon.

He was going to make a Dream Rune Word with his final Runes. The Runes needed were Nef, Jah, and Pul, but just the Nef Rune alone took up all his salvaged Runes.

A main ability of the Dream Word was the Rank 15 Holy Aura, which wasn’t too useful for someone with holy knight Summons like Abel.

Instead, he had his eyes on the 30% speed enchantment and 30% defense enchantment, extra 20 defense, extra 10 strength, extra 50% health, and extra 20 for all resistances!

After all, anything that increased his defense was good!

If the Wizard Union President and the Demon from Beyond gave him ten more years, he could easily make top rank Rune Words for all his Summons, but it was too bad he was running out of time.

After the Gear was set, he started to combine more Full Recovery Potions. Thousands of bottles were created, and he stepped into the world of the high elves outside of the Rogue Encampment.

By this point their population had reached thirty thousand. As their numbers increased, their development also followed.

That was even considering the fact that they were not good at reproducing, but Abel knew they were extremely high level beings.

Additionally, they had the Oak Tree of Life as nourishment.

For hundreds of years, it kept forming fruit, and new high elves were born. It also kept up with its stimulation to reach that thirty thousand number.

Abel did not move in a Flash, instead walking. He wanted to talk to someone before his ultimate battle with Baal, and he only felt safe around the Oak Tree.

The high elves landed softly and bowed to him as he walked past.

If Abel had wanted to pursue the path of a god, these would be his most loyal followers. It was too bad he had chosen wizardry.

Still, as a God Rank wizard he was just as powerful and his attacks were even greater.

——

As soon as he arrived next to the Oak Tree, his heart calmed down and his last bit of anxiety faded away.

He leaned gently against the Oak Tree. In an instant, their spirits merged into one and Abel could feel everything the Oak Tree was feeling through its branches.

He could sense the little space below the Oak Tree. It was separated from the world and fully under the Oak Tree’s control.

By this point the Oak Tree was covering half of the Blood Moor. As long as it was willing to sacrifice its energy, it could make all the herbs in the garden grow in an instant, and revive all the aging Blue Howling Rabbits.

“The Oak Tree is God Rank as well!” Abel mumbled, finally realizing that.

But that was not surprising considering how mysterious it was.

The space under the Oak Tree was like its Inner World or a Divine Kingdom.

The Oak Tree sensed what Abel was thinking and a green energy rushed into Abel. As soon as their Power of The Will touched, Abel knew what it was.

The green energy was like an energy shield. It could protect him in the following battle, even if the Oak Tree could not join in.

Indeed, it was a very draining move, and all the leaves of the Oak Tree dried up.

Abel felt very touched by what had happened, so he swore with confidence, “Don’t worry, this world will belong to me once I defeat Baal!”

——

Afterwards, he Flashed towards the Rogue Encampment without looking back, while the Oak Tree gently waved goodbye.

Abel did not waste any time. He immediately recalled his Summons and teleported to Harrowgate, re-entering the second level of the World Stone Keeper for the Throne of Destruction.

There was not a single Hell creature along the way, and soon he was at the red glowing door again.

He took a deep breath. This place was filled with a rotten stench, but he kept calm.

He put his foot forward, but it was stopped by the red glow.

What happened?

Abel looked around and his gaze landed on the Monster Ring on his finger. It must be the reason.

Since Abel was the only one with the World Stone, he put all of his summons in the Monster Ring to avoid them being attacked immediately. After all, managing just himself was much easier.

Still, he couldn’t figure out why that was a problem.

After a moment, he brought out all his Summons, and they appeared in the hall.

He looked around but he did not send all his summons out. Instead he only sent out the mud monster to see what was going on.

The mud monster easily entered the red door, but in just two seconds, Abel lost the connection to it.

No surprise, with its ability it only made sense it was killed.

It seemed his Summons could enter the door. After all, their skills were recognised by the Dark World.

But that might not be the case for the contracted Cummons he brought from the Central Continent.

Still, Abel didn’t want to put any of them in danger. No matter what they looked like, they were all alive, and Abel treated them like his children.

It was a tough decision to make. Should he send out his contracted Summons? Abel thought as he looked through them one by one.

Suddenly, the Rank 22 Wizard Frankenstein stepped up with a bow and then charged into the red door.

He knew what Abel was thinking, and he was the weakest Summon, so he was willing to sacrifice himself to show his loyalty. It was his duty!

Abel did not stop him, as he knew Frankenstein was resolved about this.

However, as soon as Frankenstein made contact with the red door, he was rejected.

Abel let out a breath of relief and told Frankenstein to step back.

He finally understood. Since his contracted Summons were not the professionals of this world, they could not enter!

Abel himself was not from the Dark World as well, but he spent most of his time in the Dark World and he had the Horadric Cube Marking him.

“All of you stay here!” he ordered firmly.

Abel started to regret some, because he had thought he could use a Holy Aura from his holy knight Summons to help him, but it was too late. He used up all his Runes and getting more would take a few years more of battle.

Considering the current situation in the Central Continent, he had no more time to wait!

At least he still had the Holy Charge from his Dream Helmet, and Rank 17 Meditation Aura from the Rune Word Hole.

Still, the Holy Charge was a lightning attack, so it wouldn’t do much to Baal.

Abel sighed helplessly and put all the normal Summons back into his Monster Ring and leaped through the red door.

It did not stop him this time, but he knew the following battles would be much harder without his holy knights.

Still, he had to do this for the final piece of the World Stone!

According to the Law of this World, he would become its true ruler once he gathered all the pieces of the World Stone.

He already had control over four of the continents of the Dark World, and soon he would rule all of them and discover what the World Stone could really do.

It was a true mystery. The Wizard Union President had been trying to do the same by cultivating his own World Stone under the Wizard Union Headquarters.

—

After Abel passed through the red door, he arrived in a huge open space.

The World Stone Chamber!

Immediately, he sensed a Curse being cast, and a cloud of Curse magic appeared above him.

Even with the World Stone’s precognition, it was too late for him to escape, so he could only take it.

The Cursed rain landed on his body, and his defense dropped by 95%. It was a Defense Curse, the worst of the worst!
