Abel teleported out of the space packed with insect eggs and let out a long breath. That had been far too dangerous. If not for Black Wind's innate Teleport talent, he might well have died there.
He had not fought Hell Creatures for a long time. Coupled with how smoothly everything had gone until now, that had caused him to lose his reverence for the Dark World.
His powerful Sorceress abilities had also caused his confidence to swell too much. With that mindset, he had placed himself in danger.
This was also the first time Abel had learned how terrifying the interruption abilities of the Hell Creatures in the Dark World could be. That feeling of helplessness, which could almost render any opponent powerless, had been a nightmare to him.
