Rebirth Of Abium 58 Chapter 58: High Tier Artifac

'Golden aura?! Isn't it only master swordsman who can create this aura?' Her ginger-like eyes went wide.

"Don't lose focus!" A scolding voice came from her right side.

'What is her problem?' Helena frowned at that tone and noticed that the n.o.ble lady stood next to her.

Noticing Helena's glare, Margery made a disappointing sigh.

'Ha! That's why I hate these n.o.bles. Talking like they were the ones that control the lives of others. Humph.' Helena snorted inside and quickly returned her gaze to the former king Lucius.

Lucius stood there in front of them with a furious expression. Only then everyone noticed a small ghost-like figure appeared on one of that demon's left hand.

When noticing Lucius's furious gaze, it made a mocking hiss and gave a pitiful glance towards that white ghost.

Abium peered at that ghostly figure, and soon, his eyes became cold.

It was King Sewallus's spirit and appeared to be wailing in pain. Lucius's eyes went bloodshot as the Qi energy surrounded his body and formed into two wings, almost similar to an angel.

Abium was anxious inside. Meanwhile, Lucius stared at the demon with a hateful glare and advanced with a spur. He hurls both of his golden wings and blocked black broadsword.

'Clang!'

Then thrust his long sword at the cobra headed demon's neck without mercy.

The attack was so fast even Abium couldn't able to follow the former king's movement clearly.

'He is going all out from the beginning!'

Next instant, something extraordinary happened. A ray of golden light came from the long sword and touched the demon's neck.

"BOOM!"

A loud explosion occurred! Next instant, the cobra headed demon was blast away.

A slightly shocked expression appeared on its face! It flew a few meters away in the air and soon regained its balance.

Abium saw a deep hole appearing at the center of its neck. Scarlet blood dripped down on the ground, and soon, it started to vaporize when it touches the ground.

Following that, the deep wound started to regenerate like a normal! Within a few seconds, all the wounded area restored, leaving only a small scar behind.

Abium deeply exhaled as he watched this! In the past, he also faced the same problem when battling against that demon Kolgath. Every demon has some unique features that would make them almost invincible in a battle.

Meanwhile, everyone stared with a wide gaped mouth while the demon soon floated in the air as nothing had happened. Even Lucius became slightly startled as he never met a creature like this in his life. He also thought it was a legend and told his grandson Tybost not to believe such lies. But when watching what was happening in front of him, Lucius didn't have any choice but to believe now!

Giving no thought, Lucius spurred again towards the cobra headed demon and thrust his sword at the exact spot. But this time demon evaded Lucius's attack like it was nothing and waved one of its right hands. Suddenly, Lucius felt an invisible wall crashed his body and didn't permit him to even go near that demon.

'Cras.h.!.+'

The next instant, the demon threw Lucius from the sky and tossed Lucius onto the castle wall.

"Bang!"

"Pfft!"

Lucius coughed up some blood and slowly felt his head began to dizzy with a single attack.

'd.a.m.n, with a simple wave, it broke my one or two ribs inside my body.'

Abium, on the other side, noticed d.u.c.h.ess Margery took out a small crossbow from her spatial ring.

'Crossbow?' He furrowed his eyebrows. Soon, his pupils dilated.

'High Tier Artifact!'

That was the thought that came to his mind when he noticed those black markings. The crossbow had a wooden stock generally made from elm and appeared coated with varnish. They made the bow with steel, and it had a span of two feet. Also, the hemp string was covered with some glue.

'Hm? But she is using a normal bolt, and I think it won't work against this demon.'

Margery took that crossbow and aimed directly at the demon. A ripple of lightning elements started to gather around that crossbow tip.

For the first time, Abium saw that Susur s.h.i.+fted its gaze and showed a surprised expression. But it soon gave another hissing sound at Margery and waved its another right hand.

Before even elemental energy began to a.s.similate into the bolt, another invisible power a.s.saulted the remaining group throwing everyone onto the ground, even including d.u.c.h.ess Margery.

'Spiritual attack!' Abium knew these ordinary warrior's weakness and sighed. This demon was so cunning and didn't even allow others to prepare for an attack.

Demon Susar looked at everyone with a ridiculous expression then s.h.i.+fted its head towards the spirit on its left hand. Demon's split tongue came out from its mouth, and it opened it's jaw wide.

"HISS!" It gave another mocking hiss towards everyone and directly devoured that spiritual form in front of them.

"Arrhhhhhh!" King's wailing sound resounded inside that garden and soon died down.

"NO! d.a.m.n you, demon!" Without even any though, Lucius's eyes went bloodshot, and he ran towards that demon. It s.h.i.+fted towards Lucius, who already flew near that demon to attack, but once again, it sent him flying towards the northern direction with a slight kick.

'It is playing with them.' Abium's expression went ice cold.

"F-f.u.c.k, I don't want to steal anything from that monster. If that demon found out, I will be the first one to die." Lily's panicking mutter heard from his back.

'Wow! Is she the one who is saying this? Then how did she stole that Holy grail?' He really started to doubt she was the one who did it.

"Don't panic, miss Lily. Calm down." Abium whispered as he gazed at the palace corridor. He stared with the same ice-cold expression on his face while pondering inside.

'Would she arrive here on time?'

Meanwhile, Susur took his broad sword and tried to throw it toward Helena and others but stopped. Not because he felt pity towards them, but because another warm spiritual wave came from Abium's behind.

'She is here!'

"Mage Abium, I didn't expect to meet you here." A familiar voice came from inside the palace.

Soon, a lady with a red robe walked from the corridor leisurely and stopped when she reached near to the garden. At the same instant, she sent her spiritual energy towards Helena, and others then blocked that demon's mental attack. Quickly she s.h.i.+fted her gaze towards the demon, and eyes widened.

"Hm? Do you know any information about this demon mage, Abium?" She asked him politely.

"Yes, my lady. It's a Greater demon from the Abyss called snake demon." He suddenly stopped his talking when he realized a slip of the tongue. Before the arrival of the Chaos Era, only mages and some church members even know about these creatures.

'I think she must have some knowledge about this.' Although many people would talk about demons to scare their children but never been an actual demon appeared in this continent before. Once he noticed she didn't seem to concern about how he knew this information, he let out a sigh and continued.

"It can regenerate in a short time that would make it harder for us to do any damage. As for why it came here, I don't have any clue." Tabitha nodded her head and walked first towards the peoples who laid unconscious on the ground. Along the way, Abium saw a few scrolls fell from her waist, and soon it absorbed into the ground.

His eyes narrowed, but he kept quiet. Abium also followed her behind and arrived in front of Helena and baron. After checking both of them was fine, his eyes s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the crossbow that laid a few feet away.

'If I had one dark steel bolt, it would be handy in this type of situation.' Suddenly his sight fell on Tabitha and asked her.

"Lady Tabitha, do you have any dark steel bolt now?"

"Ho! Of course, I do have some, but the price is a bit expensive these days." Abium almost fell when he heard the reply.

'As expected of the lady from a merchant family.' But he didn't have any choice but to pay the price.

"Can you tell me the price, my lady?"

"Hmm, Usually, I won't sell it to outside because it belongs to Orchid auction house, but I ill make an exception." She stopped for a second and continued.

"500 white gold for one bolt. If we auction it, I would be able to gain more profit, but I am going to give it to you cheaply." Abium cursed her in his mind.

'You want me to believe one bolt would sell for more than 500 white gold?' He could buy at least two bolts with that amount but didn't say anything out loud.

"I want to buy two dark steel bolts, my lady." She didn't even ask anything and threw two black bolts towards him.

He quickly grabbed those bolts and observed Tabitha. She already moved her feet faster and stood in front of the demon. What made Abium startle was, she didn't seem to be afraid of facing this demon at all.

"***** eat ******kill." When Tabitha walked near to the demon Susur, it glared at her and said something in a weird tone.

'Abyss language, huh!' Abium barely able to decipher two words and couldn't understand other words. But Lady Tabitha didn't say anything and calmly watched it's every movement. Whenever Abium saw her eyes, he knew Tabitha was looking at that demon Susur like prey while appraising its body parts.

"Hmm, this Cobra's eyes may bid for 10000 white gold, as for those fangs, venom duct and gland maybe 4000 white gold. Hm? What is that? A unique symbol, huh!" When Abium heard a sentence like this from Mage Tabitha, he almost fell on the ground.

Lucius also noticed her arrival and quickly walked towards her with his battered figure. Abium even noticed two deep wounds appeared on his right shoulder and his left thigh.

"Lady, what happened to the mages from inst.i.tute?" He asked in an annoyed tone. It was almost 30 minutes over after the last call, but still, they didn't arrive here.

"Eh? I am also clueless about that, Lucius. But from the information I got from Zivior, it seems someone is maintaining this spell from the outside. And the spell will only break if we kill that culprit, or we have to face this demon."

"Then all we have to do is kill this creature, right?." he said and advanced.

"Stop! You will only waste your time, Lucius. Let me think." She thought for a moment and took out some green colored potion and threw it towards Abium and Lucius.

"1000 white gold for each." Abium nearly fainted when he heard.

"Both of you drink this Might potion. It will increase your strength for a few minutes."

Abium and Lucius caught that potion and gulped it down. Meanwhile, that demon already tried to attack them, but Tabitha blocked that figure.

Following that, Tabitha quickly cast a spell and suddenly temperate around 200 meters surrounding began to drop.

'Ice element!' Abium watched with wide eyes as water formed into the appearance of a wolf. It slowly turned into ice and looked like a crystal wolf. It floated in the air, and next second, it teleported behind the demon Susur. In a blink, it gripped that demon's snake neck with wide jaws and tried to rip that snake neck.

"HISS!" Cobra headed demon hissed at that wolf, then slowly grabbed it with its bare hands and threw it upward.

Following a moment, that demon moved towards that ice wolf in a blur of movement and slashed its jet black broadsword.

'Slas.h.!.+'

The wolf's ice body cut into two and soon disappeared from other's visions in a blink. It all happened in a second made Abium realize this demon was really a formidable one.

Abium could even be able to follow its movements at all. But he didn't get nervous. Instead, he gripped that wooden stock and prepared that crossbow to attack at any moment.

Like a crow that would defeat an owl during the day, they need to pick the right time to defeat this formidable foe.

"Not bad. Even after the planar restriction placed on this demon's body, its pure strength is enough to annihilate a group of fifth tier warriors."

'Well, even seven tier warrior is having a difficult time here.'

"Lucius. Even I won't be able to kill this using spells alone. I need both of your help."

Once she finished her talking, a small elemental fluctuation appeared around her, and slowly, water began to gather from the surroundings.

Slowly and steadily, water gathering from all over the area then formed into a ball of water up above the castle. It was like a miracle. The ball floated up in the sky and barely visible due to the darkness. Even Abium hasn't heard of anything absurd spell in the past.

Meanwhile, that demon Susur also didn't stay there waiting for her to finish her spell. That demon took its broadsword and spurred towards Tabitha and attacked continuously.

"BOOM!" "BOOM." "BOOM." But whenever that broadsword moved towards Tabitha, a layer of ice appeared and blocked that sword. Then that s.h.i.+eld would disappear into thin air like it never existed before. Within a few seconds, Abium noticed a giant ball of water almost 10,000 gallons of water gathered. All the surrounding air began to feel dry and made everyone sweaty.

Even Abium's throat began to feel dry.

'What is this?!' Abium got startled inside and stared with a wide gaped mouth. Next instant, Tabitha snapper her fingers, then an incredible thing happened.

Chains of waters appeared from that ball of water and shackled that cobra head demon's extremities. After that, the water turned to ice and made that demon no room for escape. It all happened in a second.

"HISSSSSS! ***** ******* ********." It angrily bellowed at them.

"Both of you, I won't be able to hold this demon for long. Use your every attack now!" Tabitha's shout woke him up from the daze, and Abium instantly acted.

Abium's eyes went cold and began to aim towards that demon. This dark steel bolt was made of darkness ore specially used against demons or higher beings. Multiple runes circles inscribed on the flight groove, riser, foregrip, and barrel started to flicker. He gripped that crossbow and adjusted the angle.

'Yes!'

Next instant, in front of his eyes, a blue screen appeared, and Azolla adjusted with accuracy. In the past, he also had some experience with normal crossbows but used no artifacts.

Soon, the lighting element started to gather around the riser. Abium quickly locked on to that demon's neck and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

A stream of dark lightning formed around the tip of that bolt, and next instant, it propelled forth with unimaginable speed. Even before that demon Susur began to release from those ice chains, the bolt arrived in front of Susur's neck and penetrated inside.

'PUCH!'

"HISSSSSSSSS." A loud hissing sound echoed as the dark lighting invaded inside that demon's body.

"Excellent. Lucius! Now it's your turn to attack. Attack with everything you got. I think the paralysis effect will only be active for up to one minute. Quick," Tabitha's anxious sound echoed. Abium didn't stay idle either.

"Miss Lily! You have one minute to do your job. Don't let others notice you." Abium moved near to Lily and quickly whispered to her ears, and he walked towards that demon.
