Chapter 1101 - Fight Chapter 1101: Fight A white “aging” curse light appeared on top of the blue Udal beast’s head. Suddenly, its movement became so slow that no effective attack could be made. Abel knew as well. Even if the spiritual guardian knights had the support of Bruce’s spiritual qi light ring, it would still be impossible to block the chain of attacks of this blue Udal beast. So it was his priority to prevent as many attacks as possible. Of course, since there were eleven spiritual guardian knights, they could barricade in front of the blue udal beast. The spiritual guardian knights could only block two directions. Since the remaining two had the grey bear and Bruce in the way, there was no point in worrying whatsoever. After executing several rounds of the “vengeance” technique, Bruce committed a “shield attack” that made a blue Udal beast faint. Abel could only see the last two “bone walls” in his path. The hell creatures were much stronger than he was expecting. The blue Udal beast’s strength also far exceeded his expectations. From his experience, the beast should possess the “skin hardening” ability. Other than that, after having its attack rate severely reduced, the spiritual guardian knights, grey bear, and Bruce all generated more “damage deepening” curse on top of its head. The blue Udal beast had a special curse, from what it looked like. Also, since it was moving so fast, Abel assumed that it also possessed a special quickening. The blue Udal beast possessed a minimum of three hell enhancement abilities. It was no wonder it could hold on for this long after enduring this kind of attack. But he couldn’t wait any longer. Once the number of combatants increased, his whole team would have suffered severe injuries. This was when he switched on the portal energy that was inside his own spirit. This was his most powerful singular attack. It was capable of ending one target with one hit. Very quickly, the portal power followed his power of the Will and flew to the front of the blue Udal beast. There were enemies on all sides. The blue Udal beast had no ways of dodging, so the portal power just went through its front and flew from the attack. The hit was lethal. Soon, the beast stopped struggling and let its body fall to the ground. Abel started to see a shallow, dark shadow and a golden sphere flying into the Horadric Cube in his right arm. He sighed long and hard, and at the same time, the last bone wall had just been broken through. At the front was the Udal beast that was extraordinarily fast. At the back were many, many hell creatures that were at least several hundred in numbers. Abel made the decision just then. If he was to confront these hell creatures, there was no telling that many of his spiritual guardian knights and spiritual guardian wizards would be lost. Even his own safety couldn’t be guaranteed if he tried to do that. This was not the first and second area of the two continents. He had no ways of casting area attacks here with his spells. This was the third area. One bad move, one moment of complacency, was enough for him to drown in danger. For his own safety, he decided that he couldn’t go into a melee attack. He couldn’t blend himself into a mob fight, either. These hell creatures were too alert. Just being discovered by the blue Udal beast was triggering all of them to start chasing after him. His decision had to be quick. Abel wrapped his power of the Will around all the summon creatures and contract creatures. Then, with an “instantaneous movement” spell appearing in his hands, he brought his summons 400 meters towards the inferno furnace was. It wasn’t like he could move more than that. The environment here was just too harsh for him to carry all of his companions safely with him. Once he stopped casting his “instantaneous movement,” Abel made decided to quickly scan the area with his power of Will. He wanted to find a spot so he could have his grey bear defending him at the front. Basically, he needed some protection to cast his long-range attacks from behind. When the hell creatures were directing themselves to go after the combat team, Abel, again, wrapped his power of the Will around his summons. They appeared on the offering altar of the inferno furnace. The altar was a tall platform made of stones. There was lava drawn in the middle and a metal board standing at the very center. He didn’t know what this board was made of. On one side of the altar, there was a stone statue depicting images of hell. The other three sides were staircases. He could only reach the top by walking on these. And so he did. As small as the altar was, it was enough to contain Abel and all his summons. He directed his grey bear, Bruce, and Frankenstein to defend each of the staircases. The grey bear was a meatshield himself, so it wouldn’t be that hard to defend the bottom spot. Bruce, too, was a mad knight proven to have defensive and offensive capabilities with his melee attacks. Frankenstein was a bit of a reluctant choice. He didn’t feel good having just one law-defying wizard guarding this staircase, but there wasn’t really another candidate for this. It wasn’t that bad, to be honest. Frankenstein had the body of a steel puppet, so if he were paying a bit more attention, maybe it would’ve just held on for more than he expected. Abel was standing at the very center. Beside him were the spiritual guardian knight and the spiritual guardian wizard. By this point, the spiritual guardian knights had already changed into the bow “harmonious wind.” To increase the survivability of the combat team, he even went as far as to summon his “wise oak.” Once everything was set up, the hell creatures came over to them. Apart from Hephastos, which was the most obvious one to spot, the Udal beast looked much stronger than the regular ones. The rest seemed to be just protectors of Hephastos. There were some wowheads the size of a sheep on the side, but he wasn’t so worried. This was a hell creature meant to engage in close-distance combat. The only thing he had to worry about was spawning miniature versions of themselves. As easy as it was to kill them, the number could get very overwhelming if left unchecked. Abel was most concerned about the inferno knights with “white bone armor” on them. These were true long-distance casters. Both the range and the attack capability were impressive on their own. Once the fight began, the Udal beasts made it as fast as possible to rush to the side of the altar. They were responsible for engaging in close-distance combat. With their giant arms, they charged towards the grey bear, Bruce, and Frankenstein at all three of the staircases. Both the grey bear and Bruce guarded the wave quite well, but Frankenstein fainted immediately. Abel had no choice but to shake his head. There was just too much of a gap between close-range and long-range attackers. Even if the long-distance attackers had, in the case of Frankenstein, an indestructible body, there was still no way that it could last any time in close-range combat. So Abel continued to throw the “aging” curse. He was slowing down all the curses of any nearby hell creatures. At the same time, the five inferno knights commenced their attacks. There were fireballs, iceballs, and poison balls flying in his direction. The spiritual guardian knights were the first to blockade these attacks. What worried Abel was that each attack took more than half of the life points of the spiritual guardian knights. This meant that only two hits would be required to kill them. The spiritual guardian knights shouldn’t be that weak. There was just no way. With rank 29 “command skeleton” as the buff, and rank 29 “summon resistance” to boost elemental resistance, and the life force enhancement of the “wise oak,” this was already way beyond their supposed limits. They were still not as good as the grey bear and Bruce, but they were not to be underestimated in the vast majority of his fights. Still, the druid spirit would never allow any spiritual guardian knights to die. As long as there was no one killing blow dealt, the “full recovery vitality potion” could always be supplied to boost them back. At this point, Abel no longer cherished the “full recovery vitality potion” as much as he was doing before. He had his own garden and free elven laborers to work on these. His potion ingredients were lacking, so he decided to use as many potions as he had when the situation required it. Or so that was the idea. These five inferno knights were dealing way too much damage. He told his spiritual guardian knights to dodge, even withdraw to save up the number of potions required. After he did, the Udal beasts had already surrounded the entire altar. The five inferno knights had no longer any inferno creatures around them. The elven spiritual guardian knights disappeared from the altar and appeared right beside the inferno knights. Suddenly, Bruce switched on his “faith” spiritual qi light ring and reduced the defense and elemental resistance of all surrounding hell creatures. Eleven streaks of “lightning chain” flew amidst them. Frankenstein cast a “blizzard” in front of his view. Every hell creature was supposed to be slowed down and sustain freezing damage. Without the long-distance threat of the inferno knights, Abel made preparations to turn on his combat mode. Given that most hell creatures had extremely high resistance against fire, he went ahead and cast “ice sealing balls” with two of his hands. Constantly, there would be crystal blue spheres flying towards the inferno creatures and shooting outward in midair. The first to fall was the Udal beast right in front of Bruce. After receiving too many spell hits, this particular beast fell on the ground after the three consecutive “vengeance” attacks. Abel’s eyes were fixed on the Udal beast on the ground. Because of how sturdy these hell creatures were, they just became the perfect agent for activating “corpse explosion.” Very quickly, a “corpse explosion” spell rune appeared in his hand and transferred a death qi that was guided through. After that, the Udal beast’s body started undergoing extreme change, and the fire element continued to bounce around until there was eventually a loud, deafening bang. Due to the influence of the explosion, many of the weaker hell creatures nearby were killed very quickly. However, Abel didn’t stop there. As long as there were more corpses, he could always continue with his rampage. Rank 29 corpse explosion was a terrifying thing to mess with. Because of how effective and easily replicable this method was, priests used them as the main offensive choice even when they reached an advanced stage. For a quick estimate, the corpse explosion just then transformed 70 to 120 percent of the Udal beast’s life force into a combination of flame and physical damage. Thus, an entire area was being dealt collective damage. Furthermore, even though the hell creatures, as mentioned before, possessed high resistance to fire, Bruce had the “faith” spiritual qi light ring switched on, so the resistance of these hell creatures was pressed to a minimum. Just like that, explosions continued to take place around the altar. One explosion would trigger the death of many hell creatures, which made it so that the explosions would only happen continuously. The smaller hybrid beasts weren’t that hurt, but the Udal beast and the wowheads killed more hell creatures every time their bodies detonated. This would trigger a chain reaction, a domino effect where one explosion would cause a multiplying of explosions. Given his geographical advantage and the support of several classes, Abel could use more of his techniques to attack these hell creatures effectively. Once the several thousand hell creatures were about to fall, only the dark golden level Hephastos remained. Although it was still facing the grey bear, there was just no real way it could deal any real damage. Somewhere afar, the spiritual guardian knights had yet to break through the “white bone armor” of the “inferno knights.” In other words, though, there was nothing but a layer of the white bone armor that was protecting them.

Chapter 1102 - Offering Altar Chapter 1102: Offering Altar There was still quite some distance between the spiritual guardian knights and Bruce. Moreover, since they were not under the range of the “faith” spiritual qi light ring, their attack powers were much weaker. At the same time, the inferno knights were long-distance attackers. They weren’t so much stronger in their close-range capabilities. So when they got close to the spiritual guardian knights, something of a stalemate was what resulted. On average, it would be two spiritual guardian knights against one inferno knight. That could only stall the inferno knight. Still, Abel was more than satisfied with this. There was too much distance in terms of how the inferno knights could cast spells over proximity. If it weren’t for the spiritual guardian knights, there was no way that he could easily cast any spells. With a wave of his hand, he activated one “aging” curse on Hephastos while commanding the eleven spiritual guardian wizards to assist in the offense. With the help of the spiritual guardian knights, the inferno knights starting to lean towards Abel. The next step would be to kill Hephastos. After losing so many of its minions and hell creatures, its fate was already decided. With the “aging” curse, “faith” spiritual qi light ring, the grey bear, and Bruce’s close-range attack, its life points were being reduced. Abel and Frankenstein would stay on the side and cast their spells in a careful manner. After ten minutes, all five of the inferno knights were killed. The eleven spiritual guardian knights and spiritual guardian wizards also joined in on the attack. Hephastos let out a terrible cry as it fell on the ground. Beside its corpse, a dark golden hammer fell nearby. Abel’s attention was deeply captivated by this hammer. He didn’t pay any attention to the soul that flew out and the golden ability ball. “The inferno furnace hammer!” He picked it up and called out its name. This was a dark golden item that came in a set with the inferno furnace. From memory, this hammer would break on its own after being used one time. He had to use this only on the Mephistopheles’s soul stone, then. With that in mind, he took the soul stone out of his portal bag and placed it into the slot that was on the altar. Abel looked towards the summon creatures beside him. It was Frankenstein, Bruce, Black Wind, and many others that he felt appropriate bringing out. He wanted to test if the soul stone could be used on all of his minions. So he called out Johnson, Jason, Flying Flame, and Doff. He was trying to create a team bonus buff by forming a unit of eight. As for the summoned creatures, no matter how many there were, there was just no way that the dark world would acknowledge them as the team members. He had his doubts, though. If a non-summoned creature was to appear out of nowhere, he might have the chance to gain another spare rune. But, on the other hand, he wasn’t sure if trying was too hard. He wasn’t going to bother, anyway. The dark world had more living beings than ever before, so he might try not to accidentally put his elite elves as sacrifices for rulemaking. At the oak tree that was near Blood Moor, at least 500 elves were living here. They were always increasing, and they would continue to grow whether the oak tree grew more fruits. Having thought for a while, Abel decided to head back to the Mana Gathering Fort with his Town Teleportation Scroll. Until then, he would head to the Rogue’s Encampment. At Blood Moor, which was right outside of the Rogue’s Encampment, he ordered the elite elves to group together and left the elite elves to look after the herb gardens and the newborn elves. After that, he brought the entire group to pass through the waypoint and went to the fort. For a while now, Abel’s been banning his elite elves from accessing the waypoint. He even banned any elite elves from going forward. The reason was simple. There weren’t enough of them, so losing even just one of them would hurt their population growth. If it weren’t for the oak tree, their birth rate might decrease severely. One major, no, the minor accident could destroy them all. The elite elves just weren’t that good at increasing their own numbers. Several decades passed, and only a handful were born. To keep the elite elves alive, Abel’s was busy moving fruit trees into Blood Moor. He was doing what he could so they didn’t have to worry about food. However, he was extremely careful in the way he was helping them migrate, fearing that any death or casualty would greatly reduce their rate of survival. Abel teleported himself back to the inferno furnace. From there, he opened up his Town Teleportation Scroll and opened a portal. The elite elves flew into it and went to the inferno furnace. Abel had used up ten scrolls to bring them all to where the inferno furnace was. Once they were all there, the elite elves became a lot noisier. That being said, the fact that Abel was there kept them very vigilant about following all his orders. Yes, Abel was a god to these elite elves. In their hearts, they all lived for Abel. The extraordinary heat of the inferno furnace did not affect the elite elves. Before they could even feel the temperature around here, they easily put on their freezing element armor and put themselves to safety. Afterward, they threw their admiring look towards Abel as he placed the Mephistopheles’s soul stone into the offering altar. He placed back the “spirit” sword and shield and switched into an inferno furnace hammer. He watched as an intense energy shock wave was felt on the stone. There was much more energy than what was contained. He was quite hesitant. From what he could feel, under the guidance of the stone, the offering altar became something like a volcano that was about to erupt. His instincts didn’t sense any danger, however. He turned to Bruce and tried to confirm. If he couldn’t sense the threat, perhaps a fanatic knight with years of experience would. When Bruce shook his head, Abel was able to let down his guard. It wasn’t like he was too paranoid. But, again, there weren’t that many elite elves here. If there were any accidents, their kind was as good as over. After raising the inferno furnace hammer with his hand, Abel slammed straight towards the Mephistopheles’s soul stone. When the hammer made contact with the soul, a blinding light was emitted, and when he let go of his grip, the hammer became nothing but a pile of fragments. The soul stone had an opening, and endless streaks of energy poured out. “Fall back!” Abel screamed, realizing how much energy was inside. He wrapped his power of the Will around all his summon creatures and contracted creatures. With one leap, he went several hundred meters out. It was a lot easier for the elite elves. They were only flying up high when they tried to dodge the hits of the energy attacks. It was getting too hard to see because of all the light that was sparkling about. “How much energy was in this stone?” Abel thought to himself. The inferno furnace had been sucking energy from the river of lava for thousands and thousands of years. There was no telling how much was stored. Abel’s power of the Will could sense that items were flying out of the offering altar. It wasn’t just one or two, but many, many piles of them. After receiving the influence of the strong energy streams pouring, while he wasn’t sure what those were, a smile of satisfaction appeared on his face. This was definitely more than what he and his team of eight needed. The burst lasted for tens of minutes before it stopped. Abel regained his vision when the light energy slowly faded away. After that, he saw the runes and various gemstones that were lying on the ground. “I’m rich now!” he laughed out loud as he went to pick up all these treasures he discovered. He didn’t pay too much attention to the gemstone. As precious as this seemed, because he had the Horadric Cube, he could create whatever amount that he required from resources that he gained from another world. The only thing that he cared for, really, was the runes. Carefully but quickly, he scraped through runes from the mountain of gemstones. It was hard work, but the elite elves made it a lot easier to locate the runes. He basically told the elite elves that they could keep all the gemstones. He was thanking them for coming help. After, the elite elves brought the gemstones and left the River of Fire. They returned to Blood Moor while Abel was left to examine the runes that he gathered. There was a total of 508 runes he got. It was the exact same number as the non-summon creatures he arranged this time at the inferno furnace. Although the altar could only produce a total of eight, that would only be if eight people were at the furnace during the same time. It was quite different this time. There was just too much piled up after the last tens and thousands of years. When the offering was made, the energy outburst influenced the channeling of the circle, making it so that the whole procedure was clearly made, so there was enough for 508 people. Abel thought as carefully as he could. He didn’t think that it was going to work. He was regretful. If he knew that this is what would have happened, he would have done this much later. Given his current speed, it would be about several more years until the central continent had a total of tens and thousands of elves. He might have a better chance of getting more runes by then. Actually, no. He couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. He knew how greedy the idea was. Right now, out of the 508 runes he had, ranging from 15# hel to 25# gul, 21# pul was taking up the vast majority of the numbers. Watching these runes, his mind raced back to thinking about the rune formula that was inside his mind. He couldn’t make a real top-level rune with these, but there was a very solid chance that he could make some intermediate ones that could come quite handy. Abel placed the runes into his portal bag. His eyes focused back on this inferno furnace. This altar was the best location for the blacksmiths. What he didn’t know was that the blacksmiths used to work here. At the time, the grandmaster blacksmiths would discover a huge chunk of strange stone, which they would then use to make the special board that was on top of this river of lava. Basically, things started to change after the underworld took over the world. The entire area was seized and made into an offering altar. This became a place where challengers from heaven and the underworld would create runes and gemstones that they needed. If no one was visiting, the altar would continue to absorb the energy of the lava until the next time it was activated. “It’s a shame,” Abel thought to himself. He really thought that it was a shame that the “Mephistopheles’s soul stone” and the “inferno furnace hammer” were one-time items. The next time he wanted to activate this altar, he would have no idea where to get himself some new ones. It was becoming increasingly more difficult to find runes in the dark world. At the rate things were going, he might just find more boxes and barrels than anything useful. Yes, Abel did think about finding a method to produce runes on his own. He could integrate technologies from another world and use the mana environment here. He could start by breeding large numbers of blue howling rabbits and synthesize their crystal cores continuously. If he was doing that, he could get an endless supply of runes up to no. 10. He couldn’t do that for middle-upper runes, though. As many crystals as there were, there just wasn’t the time to spend all that time creating the runes.

Chapter 1103 - Changing To New Equipment Chapter 1103: Changing to New Equipment Abel was heading back to the Rogue’s Encampment. He was preparing to make equipment to upgrade his team. Now that he had the runes, he needed to think about what sort of runes to craft to maximize his combat capabilities. First of all, he needed his own equipment. It had to be equipped to boost all his classes. After that, he would need to satisfy the equipment Bruce was wearing. Since Bruce was a mad knight, an increase to his spiritual qi light ring would benefit the team. The next step was to revive the legendary sacred knight corpse inside his personal storage box. If Abel could do it, he would really have to make a set of armor that was designated for sacred knights. He could have the runes made for Bruce replicated for this. Back to himself. He was not thinking about changing his outfit because right now, the dark quality “snake magician’s skin” was the most fitting robe for him. Of course, there was the “mystic” rune that required a “30# ber” and “31# jah.” He also had a knowledge rune for his hat, which had the amazing all-class boost he was after. He needed more than that, though. From his impression, he could remember only the Dilerim, which could increase a total of two points to all class skills. Dilerim Helmet 1% chance to cast a level 50 Dilerim when hit 6% chance to cast a level 14 mind explosion when hit 14% chance of casting a level 13 terror when hit 11% chance of casting a level 18 mayhem when an enemy was hit +2 all skills +10 vitality 50% receive extra money 25% increase the chance of magic equipment appearing Rank 17 absorption (60 times) This rune had an extraordinary function. Once the attack was made, there was a 1% chance to transform itself into a Stygian doll. Once a Stygian doll was transformed, the moving speed and attack speed would increase by a whole lot so that only regular attacks could be performed. The Stygian doll wasn’t what bothered Abel the most. Again, he was more concerned about how to get the runes that he couldn’t craft. For now, he thought that the rune “Delirium” was best put to use somewhere safe. He could get Bruce to use it as well. That way, it could use all kinds of special effects in combat. Some of the special ones included “mind explosion,” “terror,” and “mayhem.” These were all for targeting the mind, which could be extraordinarily helpful in close-range combat. Think about it. If the opponent were frozen still after being hit by a mind explosion, there would be no defense. Bruce would be so much more versatile with it. As for Abel, what he needed the most would have to be +2 level for all his classes. With an increase like this, his overall combat ability would increase even if he was in his giant dragon form. Now, with so many runes, he could go ahead and craft the Delirium. He was making one in advance, but he could more generous than that. After that, he figured that he make a new sword. He was holding a “spirit” longsword right now, and the one that he wanted was the oak tree’s heart. Oak heart +3 level all skills 40% quick spell casting +75% damage against demons +100 accuracy against demons +3-14 ice damage, effect lasts for 3 seconds 7% mana steal for every hit +10 agility +20 automatic life recovery Increase mana maximum threshold by 15% All resistance +40 Level 4 wise oak (25 times) Level 14 crow (60 times) +50% damage to undead creatures This would have to be the strongest single-arm weapon a wizard could have. It had almost all the requirements Abel was looking for. There was a +3 level for all skills, 40% quick spell cast, 15% increase for maximum spell threshold. It was not a lot, but it was a lot for him at his current stage. There was also a +40 point for all resistance. Although that was only 5 points more than his previous sword, this difference would still be crucial when the time was there. So far, it was just the two of these runes, so he figured that he might as well go for the slightly before one. Next, he looked at Bruce. It was now time to change to new equipment. Firstly, it would be the armor. He changed into two sets. One was a “theory” armor for increased skill level. Theory Armor 100% chance to cast a level 5 holy light bomb when attacking +2 to all sacred knight skills +100-150 life +50% resistance to undead +30 fire resistance +5% poison resistance 15% reduced durability As ordinary as this piece was, it had the +2 increase for all sacred knight abilities was exactly what Abel wanted. He also wanted to make armor to increase his attack power, the “c. Sturdy Armour 20% chance to cast a level 15 freezing armor when hit +25% quick spell casting +300% damage +200% defensive capability +99-148 life +15 defense +7 automatic life force recovery +5% maximum lightning resistance Reduce physical damage by 7 +30 for defense 12% convert damage to mana +1 brightness While some of the required runes would have to be synthesized, the product seemed worth more than the cost. Yes, a total of 27 25# gul would be needed to make one 28# lo. The thing was that just one piece could increase his total damage by 300%. If he wasn’t going to save up his runes, he might create a “sturdy” rune for his longsword. For the rest, he created twelve more “convert,” which was meant to boost his wizard skills by 2 points. He created so many of these because he was equipping “Delirium” and “oak heart” so both his “skeleton resurrection” and “resurrecting skeleton wizards” could reach level 31. This way, he could also boost the number of his spiritual guardian knights and spiritual guardian wizards by twelve. Abel didn’t use any more runes. 508 seemed like a lot of runes, but these were actually very few. This was where an idea came to him. He would go ahead and kill all the hell creatures near the mana gathering fort. Once he obtained the world stone fragment of this area and became its guardian, he could re-activate the inferno furnace for more resources. With that in mind, he had more motivation. After renewing the combat team, he readied himself to head over to the River of Fire. Days continued to pass. Within the Nation of God, more and more religious workers became Abel’s own spokespeople. These people used to only work in small towns with an audience of about 2000 to 5000 each, but after slow and steady work, he managed to get about 10000 of them to the towns within the Nation of God. That was not a lot of towns compared to the total population within the nation of God, but what he was doing was clearly shaking the foundation of the Nation of God. The Nation of God could always use its devoted worshippers to fight against the central continent. Due to the daily prayers of its citizens, the guardian wings were supplied with worship power so that the entire nation could be protected. A lot of faith was required, the same way that the Howling Castle required help from the Wizard Union constantly. The difficult part was that the Nation of God required new religious workers. Although the guardian wings would have to do these themselves, it was still quite costly. The Saint would sometimes take out some worship powers for opening a portal or connecting a long-distance teleportation circle. He might also treat someone who was wounded. The demon from beyond might need it, which was the most important bit to expanding worship power. Spirits and divinities recovered their energy through sleeping, but worship power would always be needed for true healing. In fact, the demon from beyond had almost always drained worship power from the Nation of God. This was why the Saint was hesitant to use even a bit to cure Knight Ando’s finger. Just a few months ago, the Saint used worship power on Knight Ando to break through the defense of the Doomsday Defence Wall. After that, getting him to the Central Continent into the Haden Mountain Range expended about ten years’ worth of divine power. Worse yet, the Saint just discovered that the nation’s worship power was on a decrease. The Nation of God was like a fine, intricate machine that was constantly overloaded. Apart from some captives from the central continent, almost the same amount of worship power was expended every day. Recently, the supply got lower, but Mr. Saint just had too many things to worry about after Knight Ando’s death. It took him two days to find the motivation to actually look into this loss. As absolutely crucial as Knight Ando’s death was to the balance between the Nation of God and the central continent, as long as the guardian wings remained, there wouldn’t be any problem with the safety of the Nation of God. It was quite different for worship power. If the worshiper power were reduced, the Nation of God’s safety would be at stake. Both the guardian wings and the demon from beyond would be in danger. To address this issue, the Saint called Knight Cabel over. Since Knight Cabel hadn’t been managing a lot of this kind of problem, the eighteen temples were left to the management of the religious workers until something major happened. Knight Cabel bowed after arriving at the temple hall, “Cabel is here to serve you, Master Saint.” He nodded his head, “I’ve something to ask you, Cabel.” Knight Cabel noticed how many things were happening over at the Nation of God. There had been a great loss of the number of sacred knights. Even some legendary knights and mad knights were dead. Knight Cabel lowered his body, “Yes, Master Saint.” Mr. Saint enquired, “How have the temples been lately, Cabel?” Knight Cabel reported, “Over the past few years, the number of preachers killed has risen to 65. However, 86 new ones came to be.” He knew these statistics well to heart, given how bizarre this all was. He’s sent quite a few of his own sacred knights, but he never managed to find any schemes or anything artificial. It seemed to have just happened. Mr. Saint couldn’t help but ask, “What do you mean? 65 killed?” The temple had been running steadily for a thousand years. The Saint always let it run on itself because, well, nothing out of place really happened. Knight Cabel explained, “There were two accidents this time, Master Saint. One had to do with a captive we transported from outside the borders. He was secretly an assassin, and his consciousness came back when we tried to do a brainwashing program on him. He slaghtered 20 of the lives that were lost.” Mr. Saint was enraged, “How can you not have this fully investigated? If he could break through the brainwashing program, his power of Will must be very easily identified!” Knight Cabel explained, “The related staff has been punished, Master Saint. After an investigation we conducted, we concluded that the incident was an accident.” The Saint tried to keep his patience, “What about the other case.” Knight Cabel reported again, “The other had to do with a law enforcer. He was resentful for not being able to become a sacred knight, so he used the teleportation circle to kill 45 preachers.” The Saint did not think this should happen at all, “So you’re telling me that followers would kill their pastors? What’s your excuse for this one?” Knight Cabel lowered himself, “We’ve looked through everything we could think of, Master Saint. We couldn’t discover any connection between the two. If possible, we would like the great spirit to explain it to us.” Mr. Saint couldn’t help but squint his eyes. He knew that this was the best method. While he didn’t think that he could get an answer from the spirit about the assassin, he was sure that there was a lot he could ask about the law enforcer. The assassin was never a true follower, to begin with, but the law enforcer was born in the Nation of God. His soul must’ve returned to the guardian wings even after his death.

Chapter 1104 - Chaos Chapter 1104: Chaos If the Saint wanted to register for an investigation on that enforcer’s soul, he would have to spend a lot of divine power for it. Again, he didn’t feel like doing that when the situation was so uncertain. Meanwhile, the sign card on Knight Cabel’s waist started to tremble. After looking at the Saint for a while, he realized that it must’ve been something urgent. The Saint waved his hand, “Just connect it, Cabel.” Knight Cabel bowed and replied, “Thank you so much!” However, his face started to look very sour when he connected his power of Will to the card. The Saint frowned, “What is this?” Knight Cabel kept kneeling, “Another enforcer, Master Enlightened. He’s also a head knight commander. After killing 31 preachers, he was found dead after committing suicide.” The Saint stood up from his seat, “What?” The whole Nation of God would be in danger if the number kept rising like this. And there was no way that this accident just happened three times in such a short time span. the Saint had to use his divine powers now, “Allow me to do this my Lord!” He guided his power of the Will to connect with the guardian wings. The demon from beyond was still asleep. The guardian wings were taking care of things inside the Nation of God. So far, all the worship systems were taken care of by the guardian wing. the Saint was only responsible for giving specific instructions if anything special came up. As special as his position was, he was only partially responsible for using most of the guardian wings’ resources. After inserting Burnside’s name to the Guardian Wing, traces of the golden divine power were expended. For using the divine power, that name was searched for in the ocean of other spirits that lived inside the wing. On a daily basis, these souls would only pray and provide divine power to their homes, while the Guardian Wing would also provide some energy to keep them in place. Again, there was a limit to divine power. As it would take a while to keep this going, the soul power would flow across time, and the prayer would not be processed in the same way as the spirits before. Sacred knights’ souls would receive divine blessings, but if these were regular ones, they would be completely absorbed as nutrients to maintain the Guardian Wing. In most cases, the soul would be kept in storage for ten years. After spending a huge amount of divine power, the Saint realized that Burnside’s soul was not here. He looked even more distraught. Every citizen of the Nation of God was supposed to return after death. Burnside would have to be a heretic not to be found. Unknown to Burnside himself, his faith did not return to the spirit he worshiped after he died. Abel was the one receiving it after stealing followers from the Nation of God. Of course, even so, Burnside’s soul would never end up inside Abel’s crystal angelic statue. Unless he wasn’t a divine worker himself, Izual could also bring its soul back to the statue. This was the problem. He was working for the temple until his death, and when he died, Abel canceled all of his identities. He was gone from this. The Saint screamed, “Conduct an investigation, Cabel! There’s a pagan god among us!” Before the demon from beyond woke up, at that. the Saint couldn’t think that this could ever happen in the Nation of God. He felt like he had no way of facing his own spirits. It would be a catastrophe to let anyone know that there existed another god among them. Knight Cabel understood the seriousness of the situation, “Yes, Master Enlightened! I’ll commence the investigation immediately!” Among the Nation of God, the sacred knights within the law enforcement department began cleaning in the eighteen districts. Everything suspicious was checked. They did manage to find a lot of problems. Some of them were related to corruption. Others were about violation of rules. Some of the ones spreading the gospel weren’t even preachers. Still, nothing was found regarding this pagan god. It wasn’t like the head commanders themselves had no idea. They were searching for the regular worshippers, while the ones with problems were the ones who were newly promoted. Who would doubt the new preachers, though? So, as the days passed, more worshippers lost their sanity and killed more and more preachers. The Nation of God was in complete disarray, while the ones spreading the gospel had to resort to self-protection. The temple had sent its word out already. All locations were to have defensive circles. Yes, the perspective they took was that there was a security issue. Abel noticed that, too. However, not only all the locations would have defensive circles on at all times. None of them expected that anyone would be so daring as to appear within the Nation of God to steal their followers. Divine power was always all over the Nation of God. If any foreign god were found, the Guardian Wing would be the first to locate it and repel its own attacks. The trick that Abel managed to sneak in so successfully was kind of unique. Izual and the demon from beyond belonged to the same race. Also, since the crystal angelic statue possessed the same type of presence as the demon from beyond, the Guardian Wings couldn’t realize what was actually wrong. Abel was proud. He had been cultivating one hundred preachers in the Nation of God, and 100 small towns had become his so-called “place for harvest.” While disarray was happening within the Nation of God, he discovered something. While passing through the passageway that the worshippers would cross, he understood that the Nation of God had no idea about the causes of the killings of the preachers. He took advantage of that quickly. He randomly gave out the preacher guide to his followers in 18 different locations that he had in exchange for even more preachers and even more preacher guides. The more Abel did this, the stricter the Nation of God got at conducting the investigations. In fact, some of the more extreme actions had caused a downturn to both the quantity and quality of the worshipper’s faith. No one understood this on the central continent. Abel had been causing more damage to the Nation of God than the Wizard Union had been trying to do in the last century. December 25th was supposed to be the holy birthday in elven tradition. In the morning, Butler Meyer followed through the traditional customs by placing countless flowers around the golden castle. In this season, only the elves could use special methods to keep the flowers blossoming. Naturally, the prices were so high that most people wouldn’t afford it. Abel noticed as soon as he woke up. What he could see with his eyes and smell with his nose were the prettiest of flowers. When he arrived at the dining room, he could see ten guests waiting there. He nodded his head and greeted them quite casually, and they gave him a more formal greeting. Abel was more than used to this situation. These customers were here to eat at the price of one light stone each. The price was possibly the highest on the central continent, and nowhere else would people pay for food with light stone. Interestingly, because of how fixated Abel was about light stones, the exchange rate had been at a frantic increase on the central continent. “At your own pleasure,” Abel welcomed these guests as he sat at the main spot. The servants got his share ready in advance while these meals of the others would come at a later time. Abel eating before them would have been considered rude, but his status changed after the Wizard Larking incident. Among the ten guests, other than the five advanced-level class holders, the other five didn’t feel like what Abel was doing was out of place. It had all to do with Abel’s change of status. Of course, Abel wouldn’t usually have his meals in the dining room. His relationship with Lorraine made it obligatory for him to head over to the Moon Goddess Temple and participate in the special event. Today was a special day, which was why he was here inside the dining room. Still, he had a different breakfast for the guests. It was a water spirit fruit juice synthesized twice, one milk bread, and a bowl of salad. The smell was so extraordinary that the guests were refreshed just smelling them. The juice was different, that was for sure. As for the bread, it was the special treat of the two chefs from the Elven Royal Palace. The raw material was unique. It was from milk that Abel crafted with his Horadric Cube. Since Abel’s status increased, the golden castle was quite comfortable. Since the castle was so protected and all his servants were contracted, he felt more at ease with the Horadric Cube. It was not a possible thing to do. He was always tense and nervous with such a major secret to carry around all the time. Now, he was fine drinking all the special fruits and milk, not because he was fine lettings the others know about his cube, but that he could use his title as the central continent’s best potion master to make whatever he wanted. Even the bowl of salad he had was from the spirit fruits the advanced elves planted for him inside Blood Moor. It wasn’t just the spirit fruits. There was also the spiritual seed from the Elven queen, some spiritual fruit tree he traded, and some ripe fruits that were planted together. He had a much better variety in terms of the kinds of fruit he was consuming. Among today’s guests, there was an advanced priest called Cartwright. He came here with his mentor, Archpriest Ferguson. Of course, Archpriest Ferguson wasn’t just here because he had too many Lightstones. He was here because he heard the news that some advanced priests received their promotion here. Although it was just one incident, it was still worth the try by bringing his own disciple here. It was the same for the other archpriests, too. While Abel was slurping his juice and chewing his bread, Archpriest Ferguson stared at his disciple Cartwright. Everyone present was quite strong. They knew who’d been swallowing their spit. Something was off, Archpriest wanted to scold Cartwright for staring at Abel, but Cartwright was staring at the bread Abel was eating. Soon, a promotion qi started to rise out of Cartwright. Yes, all from smelling the juice and bread. For his defense, these were the superfoods Abel was only giving his three followers. Archpriest Ferguson was glad for spending the two light stones. The meal was worth it, and they hadn’t even had any. Just when he was about to throw his circle plate underneath Cartwright, he heard more sounds of people swallowing their spit. He turned around, and four others sniffed the air and swallowed. It was almost like they were trying to mimic the experience Cartwright had.

Chapter 1105 - Departing Chapter 1105: Departing Even Abel had to stop and look at what these people were doing. He couldn’t believe what he saw from Priest Cartwright, but the sight of the class holders smelling his food was something entirely different. He was starting to get a feeling that the golden castle wouldn’t be peaceful for the next ten years. It was a good move for him to open up his restaurant to the public, but it was definitely not as comfortable to eat now, especially when he had to be watched all the time. To get over his feelings of discomfort, Abel tried to eat all the food as quickly as he could and leave the dining room. After he left, the five people watching tried to find Butler Meyer to ask for extra portions of the same stuff. The answer was an obvious no, and they were all quite disappointed to hear that. Again, it had more to do with the smell. Even class holders of their levels felt a spiritual essence that was affecting their training progress. This would only mean that these foods possess a special power to boost their overall strength. On the central continent, anything that was used for law-defying wizard-level class holders would have to be at least rare in rarity. These foods were more than that. That was just too obvious. After refusing the requests of these people, Butler Meyer had the circle spirit send him to the changing room of the castle. Once he arrived, he could see that Abel was changing into his clothes. Butler Meyer went forward and pointed, “Master, this will be your costume for attending the holy birthday ceremony. It’s all here for you.” Abel complained as he changed, “This is such a chore!” Abel was of nobleman’s birth. He was also the emperor of his own state, but he’s never spent much effort learning the proper attire. He was more about training and combat, which was why he definitely needed a professional butler like Meyer giving him the right instructions. This time, since he was heading over to the Goddess Temple, he had to make sure he was doing his best not to embarrass Lorraine. He did have a lot of other suits inside his wardrobe, but he had never worn them. He had a higher status now, and every piece he wore signified how dedicated he was to the event. Abel asked after he’s done changing, “Is Luka ready?” Since this was an event paying tribute to the goddess, no one arrived through the teleportation circle. So the most they could do was teleport to somewhere closer than actually arrive in their own vehicles. Obviously, the closest location to the temple now would have to be his golden castle. A few days ago, Queen Lusia had asked him to borrow the large-sized teleportation circle over at the golden castle. Over the past year, Queen Lousia would open a palace inside the Haden Mountain Range that used to belong to the royal palace. Almost all the guests attending the event would be over there and head over to the temple together. Things are different now. The Haden Mountain Range was already Abel’s, and all the buildings nearby would also belong to him. Now, there was even the legendary light. The golden castle’s location was already out, so Abel would not refuse the elven royal families to use the large-sized teleportation circles. He was half the master over at the temple, and he had to show his support to the event when he was called. Butler Meyer bowed, “Luka’s had the flying chariot ready for a while. He’s just waiting for you, Master.” Luka had been following Abel ever since he moved out of the Bay Law City Palace. There weren’t many flying chariots going out, and he was trying hard not to use anything. After hearing that Abel was using the flying chariot, he spent the past two days cleaning all the parts to the best of his abilities. After that, he took care of the flying horses, standing beside the chariot before daylight came. Abel was going over to attend the holy birthday. Needless to say, he had to have Frankenstein with him. For now, however, he decided to keep him inside his portal beast ring. By the way, he had no time waiting for the elves wandering inside the golden castle. Now that there was too much of a difference in their status, he figured that it was better if they didn’t see each other. Once he appeared next to the flying chariot, his three followers brought their fanciest clothing to wait for him. Given their identities as big druids, Druid Joseph and Druid Poly would receive the invitation even if they weren’t Abel’s followers. Naturally, this made Druid Gunter very emotional, more than any of them. Before, he would have no chance of joining in on an event like this. After departing from the golden castle, the flying chariot continued smoothly in the air. This was Ervo Forest. There were fewer spiritual beasts, and none would try to attack the chariot because Abel had been sending off a bit of essence. As subtle as it was, the essence of a dragon druid would still silence any beast. Whether it from the ground or the sky, all the spiritual beasts watched for him from afar. At the higher altitude, a battle fort was controlled by the fire tooth spirit to guard Abel the entire way. Ever since a legendary sacred knight came to attack the golden castle, Abel had doubled down on his overall defensive capability. He understood that his battle fort wouldn’t withstand every single invasion, but what he could do was to make escaping unwanted fights a lot easier. Once the fire tooth battle fort was on full speed, he was out of options. He couldn’t think of a way that his speed could be compared to the fort. There wasn’t that much of a distance between the golden castle and the Goddess Temple. If he had to travel on the ground, it might take a few hours. However, if they flew, the total journey would take only half an hour. By the way, this was actually the first time Abel’s seen the Goddess Temple. It was an old-fashioned building that was situated at a slope. The entire body was made of white stone, which looked a bit grainy. Rather than ruining the aesthetic of it, however, the statues and walls looked more in tune. The Goddess Temple had no fence. The top was the main body of the temple, and the bottom to the top had long stairs. The bottom was flat, while the ground was laid with white stones. Abel could already see some flying chariots at the bottom. Some mounts were placed there as the elves took care of them. Luka adjusted their direction and stopped at the bottom of the slope. Druid Lucia could see the silver-white elven chariots. She also saw Master Bennett and his three followers, so she put on a smile and went to greet them. Druid Joseph, Druid Poly, and Druid Gunter were the first to go down, and it was Druid Poly that opened the door for Abel. It wasn’t that the chariot was too small or that Abel didn’t allow them in. The three followers only did this because they felt like it was part of their duty. Druid Lucia hurried and went bowed, “May the goddess bless you, Master Bennett.” Abel smiled and replied, “We meet again, Druid Lucia.” Druid Lucia made an inviting gesture, “Here, Master Bennett. Please wash yourself before you go up.” She then brought Abel and his followers to a pool nearby. This pool had a unicorn statue that was spitting water out of its mouth. Just by getting close to it, Abel could feel the natural energy within this body of water. Druid Lucia explained, “This is a fountain of water drawn from the god mountain. The water is supposed to purify the soul, and it can wash through the spirit of everyone that’s going in.” Abel extended his hand and reached for some water. He washed his face and hands with it. He could feel a very insignificant purifying effect. It was not very strong, but he could still feel something familiar. This was divine power. The fountain was transformed from divine power, and since there wasn’t a lot of it, the effect was not as strong. There was something that he didn’t know, though. If any of the other elves were here, every time an elf used this water, there would be a soul purifying effect that would be unlike anything else. From what it looked like, this seemed to be a place for rewarding the followers for even coming here. Still, whether it was Abel or his three followers, he just couldn’t feel the fact that his soul was purified. The reason was mostly to do with the fact that their souls were already cleansed. The subtle changes weren’t enough for him. Abel already had a pure enough soul, given the way he was reincarnated into this world. For the three followers, after using the finest potions, their souls had reached a level of purity like no one else could match. Druid Lucia was amazed to see how little the water did to them. She even hoped that she could become one of the three followers. Actually, if the Sainte was to marry Master Bennett any time soon, maybe the entire Temple would not need this fountain anymore. She made an inviting gesture, “Please head over to the temple, Master Bennett.” After returning the favor, Abel followed her from behind and went to the stairs. There were many staircases, about three thousand of them—there were many sculptures on their way. Since Druid Lucia had been trying to get him to take the lead, he followed through and went before anyone else. As they moved, he felt a strange divine power transferring into his body. Once the power went in, it became this power of devotion designated to the Moon Goddess. Abel couldn’t help but frown at that. He didn’t like having religion forced upon him like this. He even had his own followers, actually. It wouldn’t make sense now if he was to be converted to something else. Of course, it wasn’t like the divine power could really affect him, even it was multiplied to a hundred or a thousand or ten thousand times. Abel thought to himself, “The tricks of these spirits!” Since the spirits needed to cultivate their own followers, the temple was designed for that very purpose. It was the fountain and the staircase. No ordinary elves could ever come here and borrow an insignificant amount of divine power to boost their faith. So it was easy to tell that a lot of worship power would be withdrawn from anyone with a significant status. Abel never stopped walking. At the second section of the staircase, he sensed a feeling of care from the spirits to the elves. It was a divine sympathy that belonged to the god. On the other hand, his power of the Will was focused on his three followers, and he saw a look of fanaticism as they were already followers. There were a total of 3000 steps, and each step would indicate a part of humanity. The more steps one would take, the more reinforced their faith would grow. Abel was astonished. This was unlike anything like what he saw from the Nation of God. The main method there was pretty much just brainwashing. The Moon Goddess would try to display the fondness of the spirits to the elves, such that the elves would admire their masters. It was about acceptance instead of obedience–something that was fundamentally different. Still, Abel was not a religious person. While most elves were converted after taking these steps, he just admired the beauty of the place. At least his three followers felt stronger towards their god now. Maybe this was a holy pilgrimage for them the moment they decided to come here. He wasn’t going to change any of that about them. They were elves, and it was only natural that they would follow the Moon Goddess. As for him, since he had been taken care of by the Moon Goddess all the time to sign a contract with the tree of life. He was just keeping a safe distance from her.

Chapter 1106 - The Goddess Temple Chapter 1106: The Goddess Temple One had to be really close to the Goddess Temple to see how grand it really was. The temple was just at the top of the mountain slope. It was designed so that one would see the ten pillars as soon as they stepped in. Each was 30 meters tall, especially frightening the elves standing at the front. However, they weren’t regular pillars. Actually, Each was engraved with depictions of female elven warriors in their most beautiful forms. There were also be very small, intricate circle runes that indicated that these pillars weren’t just meant for decoration. Druid Lucia introduced them to Abel, “These are the ten statues of the ten elven warriors that followed the Goddess.” Abel wasn’t interested in that, though. He was more curious about the divine power these circle runes contained. He wasn’t sure how long this temple had been around, but it should’ve been about several thousand years. With this much time and all the offerings the elves had been making, he could sense the worship power that was overflowing in every corner. These pillars, especially. He believed that the statues were not as peaceful as they were on the surface. If any invaders came, he assumed that they would be the very first layer of defense. Slowly and cautiously, he used the world stone fragment and suppressed his crystal angelic statue. He didn’t want to be detected to have possessed something belonging to another divine spirit. Maybe he didn’t need to do this, though. The pillars didn’t react to him when he was walking towards them. Rather, they scanned his followers. It probably had to do with the fact that he had marks from the Moon Goddess. His transformation necklace was supposed to be something that the Moon Goddess made herself (although she never gave it to him as a gift). His body was bound to the tree of life by a contract the Moon Goddess did for him. He received enough acknowledgment from the Moon Goddess that he didn’t go through a scan, and instead, he was just recognized as a member of the temple. After walking towards the door, Abel sensed a strong natural essence that was flowing towards him. He walked in, and almost instantaneously, he could feel his nerves tensing up. All the walls, floor, and all decorations contained solidified worship power. Under environments like this, even a legendary figure would be suppressed if he was to reveal any form of antagonism. Abel felt like he couldn’t breathe correctly. The worship power was making him extremely nervous. His followers, however, seemed to enjoy the natural force that was flowing around. Only he could sense the terrifying worship power that was behind the natural power. He thought back to the legendary sacred knight he saw the other day. Although the Goddess Temple was not that far from his golden castle, that sacred knight never seemed to bother getting close to the temple. Maybe this was why. Maybe he knew that going inside a temple with a living spirit was not the wisest choice. Abel’s strength was in his sensitivity to worship power. It was a great advantage of his. Usually, one would have to be at least at the peak of the legendary rank to have a sense as keen as his. Now, however, he could feel that this strength of his was doing him a great disfavor. He was like a spark of flame that was thrown into an ocean. The ocean contained too much power that the slightest misintention could extinguish his very being. This was when Abel really understood the difference between him and a real spirit. He never stood when Lorraine did her first divine bestowment because she wasn’t an adult yet when she tried it. Also, divine bestowment was different in terms of its capacity when cast by an elf than a goddess. Back to the present, Abel could not believe the amount of worship power he was witnessing as he was looking towards the temple in front of him. He never actually had it figured himself out. He had been stealing divine powers from the Nation of God for less than a year, and the most improvement he got was after he received the preacher guide. There was no way he could match himself with the Moon Goddess, a divine being that was backed by the entire elven race. Druid Lucia realized that he looked distraught, “What happened, Master Bennett?” Abel tried to keep it together and smiled, “Oh, nothing.” He tried to stay in the identity that he had now. He was an elf that the Moon Goddess acknowledged. He also had the world stone fragment to prevent the Moon Goddess from detecting any shady things he did. So he might as well use the world stone fragment here now, actually. Abel tried to activate the world stone fragment to separate him and the surrounding worship power. The world stone fragment did not disappoint him. After he used the power that was inside, he could feel the pressure around him disappearing. It was like he was inside a regular building. He was finally starting to have a chance to inspect the interior of a temple. The inside of the temple was quite spacious. The room rectangular. The floor was made of deep-cloured tiles that reflected one’s shadow. The entire temple was supported by tens of large round pillars, while the ceiling was oval with different layers of colored paintings. At the very center, there was an image of the sun. It was sparkling in gold to illuminate the entire temple. On the temple walls, different sculptures depicted the different mythical stories featuring the Moon Goddess. In the back, there was an altar with a 10-meter tall goddess statue on it. The statue itself could emit light that was so bright that it was difficult to stare into it. Druid Lucia sent a reminder, “I’ll bring you to the side temple first, Master Bennett. Please wait there until the holy birthday event begins.” Abel started to realize that apart from them, no other elves were inside the main hall. They must’ve all been waiting in the side temple. Abel bowed and gave his thanks, “Thank you so much for your service, Druid Lucia.” After walking to the side temple, he saw a big resting room with many elves inside. All the elves stood up and bowed to Abel, “Master Bennet!” Abel smiled and bowed to the elves. Apart from the big druids, he didn’t seem to know most of them. Druid Lucia left after she’s done leading his work, “I’ll be off, Master Bennett.” Abel then brought his three followers to sit at a corner. Due to the difference between their status, while the elves wanted to come and talk to him, they didn’t seem to have much of a common language to speak with him. Apart from doing their greetings, no one really bothered interrupting him. Abel said to his three followers, “Sit down, you.” Like bodyguards, the three followers stood behind him. Druid Joseph bowed, “We are your followers, Master Bennett. On most days, you’ve been busy taking care of us, but in situations like these, we are your followers. We will do your bidding as best as we can.” Some elves wanted to see if they could talk to Abel, but after seeing the two big druids and one advanced druid standing behind him, they lost the motivation to try immediately. It was the same for the big druids. They didn’t know what to do if they were to approach Master Bennett. Master Bennett’s big druids stood behind him, and it didn’t seem like the most appropriate idea if they were sat down to have a conversation with him. Druid Joseph was a level 23 druid, and there was not a single elf here that was ranked higher than that. After hearing what Druid Joseph had to say, Abel decided not to continue. Instead, he took a seat, and as soon as he did, he saw a female elf handing him a crystal cup. The female elf placed the cup on the table and bowed, “Master Bennett, Lady Sainte sent this here. Please, take it slowly.” Abel laughed and spoke, “Thank the sainte for me.” Once the female elf left, he looked at his front and saw the elves inside the side temple. It was just him sitting in front of the ornaments and had a cup of juice with him. Usually, the temple would not serve anything on the holy holiday. However, the elves here were only here for religious purposes, and what Abel got here was basically special treatment. Everyone knew about his relationship with Lorraine. So it was only natural that he was being treated with special attention. Abel didn’t seem to feel too off with this. The drink was here, so he might as well take it. Nothing was embarrassing about it. He had been helpful to all the druids that were sitting here. As for the noblemen, he didn’t have to care too much about them, to begin with. Once again, Abel tried to take a good look at this side temple. At the same time, the ground and the wall were filled with worship power. This was probably the strongest weapon the Moon Goddess had. However, the weapon’s location seemed to be fixed. It was only enough to protect the elves that were serving here. In other words, this temple was the safest place in this world, but they couldn’t move much further from here. With that in mind, however, it was just not possible for Abel to live here. There hadn’t been any male elf that had ever lived here. Also, even if the goddess temple agreed to let him here, he was not going to be at a place where he couldn’t hide about his dark world, his crystal angelic statue, and his ancient totem. Once Abel withdrew his gaze to stop observing the side temple, he realized that he came here too early. Because of his presence, the elves that were here weren’t talking loudly. Anyways, some elves came in from the side door. It was Queen Lousia, Druid Lendo, and some members of the royal palace. Queen Lousia found Abel as soon as she arrived. After greeting the other elves, she went to stand in front of Abel. Queen Luisa bowed gracefully, “Honourable Master Bennett. It’s been a great pleasure to see you here.” Abel stood up and bowed, “We meet again, your great Majesty.” Queen Luisa was emotional to see Abel. But, she was also cautious, remembering that she had to take a different attitude every time she talked to this young elf in front of her. Now, even as the queen of her race, she’s had to look up when she was trying to speak with him. Queen Luisa was very straightforward in her request, “I’ve heard, Master Bennett, that your golden castle contains a dish meant for high-ranking classholders with their promotion. Would you be up to opening these to the elven race?” The golden castle was open to the public, yes, but as a matter of fact, Abel had only been doing business with some influential groups that he had traded with before. So, apart from a few big druids, the restaurant was not open to anyone else for the elves. However, Queen Luisa wanted all big druids to have an equal chance to promote themselves by heading to the golden castle. Queen Luisa had brought this request to Master Bennett before. However, Master Bennett had been busy with his shutdown training. While his three followers were big druids, they couldn’t invite too many people other than those they knew personally. It was frustrating for the elves, especially when it was already confirmed that simply eating food over at the golden castle was enough for a promotion. This meant that these dishes were more precious than any potions out there. Queen Lousia had to request this of Master Bennett. She was waiting for a proper chance, and this was it. Abel smiled, “For that, your Majesty, I don’t take personal care of this. It’s always been handled by my butler and followers.” Abel continued before he disappointed Queen Lousia, “However, if your Majesty wishes so, I’ll do my part. Everything should be done accordingly, if you wish.” Queen Luisa smiled and bowed, “Of course! Give the elves a chance.” Abel turned around and spoke to Druid Joseph, “You take charge of this, Joseph. From here on, all big druids with permission will have the qualification to enter the golden castle.” Druid Joseph bowed, “Yes, Master Bennett!” Queen Luisa thanked again, “I thank you on behalf of our entire kind, Master Bennett.” Actually, Queen Luisa had wanted to head over to the golden castle herself. It wasn’t just for her own rank but also for getting a better picture of what this miraculous place for training was.

Chapter 1107 - Divine Blessing From The Goddess Chapter 1107: Divine Blessing From the Goddess Once the bell inside the Goddess temple started ringing, all the elves inside the side temple stopped talking. At each side of the gate, one female elf in a temple robe walked inside. One of them bowed, “Everyone, follow me!” The elves knew what this was about, so they quickly lined themselves up according to their hierarchy. Abel was put at the very front under the arrangement of Queen Luisa and the other big druids. As they walked into the temple’s main hall, Abel saw that ten elves standing beneath the altar. At the side, there was a band. One of the elves played the harp. The sound stretched to all the walls and ceilings. The sound of the organ, drum, and other instruments were there to harmonize with the harp. It was truly a soul-wrenching melody that made the experience that much more sacred. Of course, this place wasn’t just sacred on the surface. Abel could feel that the shadow contained divine power, and this divine power was sent to every corner for everyone to feel the greatness of the spirit that was the host. Abel stood with the other elves. There was a 5-meter wide pathway between the lines. Then, just when he thought that there wouldn’t be coming, more and more elves came in from the main hall’s door. These were the lower-ranking elves. Soon, there were about several hundred elves that made up for the elite class of the entire elven race. Abel could spot the three elven potion masters and a few very famous advanced potion masters. He also saw some other important members of the family, but he didn’t recognize anyone else. Anyways, once everyone stood still, the harp changed into another tune. Ten big druids came in by the gate. They were accompanying Lady Sainte, who was wearing her golden robe. Lorraine had a light golden gown on her head. She had a scepter in her hand. Her entire body was overflowing with a sacred presence. As she slowly took a step in, all the elves lowered themselves. Abel was slower than the other ones, and since he didn’t want to stand out too much, he caught onto the cue and lowered his body as well. Lorraine started singing to the tune of the band. She was singing a sacred hymn that the high elves knew for their whole history. Its lyrics were about the bravery, sympathetic love, grace, and virtue of the Moon Goddess. Everything was dedicated to praising her for her existence. What surprised Abel was that the worship power was starting to dance as Lorraine continued to sing. Usually, the regular elves wouldn’t see this, but the worship power was starting to take form in all kinds of colors and shapes as they were in the air. The main temple, for a second there, was like the world of a spirit. All the elves indulged themselves, enjoying the light and the music. Lorraine kept singing until she stepped on the altar. When she did, she became silent and left the big druids that were with her. She was walked alone, and she knelt alone in front of the Moon Goddess statue. The light emitted out of the statue shone on her face, making her look even more sacred than she normally seemed. At one side, three female elves in their special robes came over, each carrying a plate. Druid Joseph whispered, “They, Master Bennett, are the three elders of the temple. I almost didn’t recognize them for a second there, but they seemed to have gotten a lot younger.” Abel could see, too. The three elders looked like they were female elves who just reached early adulthood. If it weren’t for the presence they were emitting, he would’ve just thought that they were not that much older than Lorraine. He also thought the same of the ten big druids. They all had a young face, but he knew that there they were many years older. Abel thought to himself, “Did Lorraine buy the whole temple with my potions?” Honestly, apart from the “beauty potion” Abel synthesized with his Horadric Cube, Abel never thought that there was anything else that would’ve won any influence inside the temple. But, well, he wasn’t sure, so he wasn’t going to guess. The three elders had three types of fruits on the three plates. They were all spirit fruits grown under mana-dense environments. The threads of natural essence would spread outward constantly, indicating that they were as ripe as they could get. After being placed on the platform in front of the statue, the three elders bowed to pay tribute. Two of them backed away, and that’s when Abel noticed something. Lorraine’s presence was almost merging with the presence of the statue. Her entire body was already surrounded by worship power. The grand elder announced, “Under the protection of our great Moon Goddess, we elves have defended ourselves against the evil spirits. We have paid a heavy price, yes, but the Moon Goddess will remember the names of all those who fought for our kind. Their spirits will be brought to heaven for eternal rest!” Many of the elves here, Abel imagined, had participated in the great war. Some of them had their families were killed. Some of them fought for their tribes. Some lost their homes. It was a very traumatic thing for most of them. After hearing the announcement of the grand elder, many began to cry. For the past millennium, this was the first time that so up to a thousand druids had been lost in a single war. The grand elder began to speak the names of the ones that were lost. Every time a new name was announced, it would feel like their spirits were truly sent to heaven. “On the holy birthday, we praise the Moon Goddess and devote our faith to her. The Moon Goddess will become stronger, and may her protection be always with us!” The elves responded, “May the Moon Goddess protect us!” The grand elder nodded towards the harp band, “Let us all sing the holy hymn!” Followed by the sound of the harp, all the elves began to sing. Abel was the most embarrassed one among all of them. This was the first time he’s been here, and he’s never taught how to sing this hymn. So all he could do was to pretend that he was singing along without making a sound. But, of course, the big druids would still try to sense him where he was at. He was just too important to ignore. Druid Joseph and Druid Poly were ashamed of themselves for not telling their master early enough. Honestly, however, they were not the ones to blame. It wasn’t even Butler Meyer’s fault. The elves were known to worship the Moon Goddess, so the holy hymn was more of something ingrained into their culture from an early age. None of them had any idea that Abel was a fake elf, so no one ever thought it was necessary to teach Abel how to sing along. While the elves were singing, a divine power from the statue was sent towards Lorraine. While kneeling in front of the statue, Lorraine had the scepter in her hand shining a green light right from the tip containing a green gemstone. When the light stone reached the top of the hall, it exploded. Abel knew that this would happen, but his instincts told him not to react. In fact, the elves beside him all had a cheerful look on their faces rather than being concerned. This divine power contained enough energy to launch a deadly attack, even to Abel. Abel thought that he should still have his guard up, but that idea turned out to be unnecessary. When the green light shone across the room, it eventually was turned into a single seed that was growing rapidly midair. The roots would grow downward while the bark and branches would extend themselves upward. In just a few minutes, only energy appeared. Then, the leaves started to shake, and energy started to flow downward with them. As though some precise calculation was done, these leaves matched the number of elves that were inside. More miraculously, each one of them fell on each of the elves’ foreheads. A leaf was starting to fall on Abel’s head as well. The leaf turned itself into a life force when it made contact with him, and he was very quick to tell that it was meant to increase his lifespan by one year. “That’s so many years this spirit is giving!” he thought to himself. There were about several elves here, and all of them had their lifespan extended. That was a true miracle right there. For some of the elves here, it wasn’t just able to live longer. Some of them also had their sickness removed. Abel didn’t know about something, actually. Not all holy birthdays would feature a divine blessing. Today was just his lucky day, and he happened to be here to have the privilege to have a leaf dropping on his head. He realized that the energy tree was nothing but a pile of the purest of natural energy. Most regular elves would be petrified to see this. From their view, it would look like a massive tree that was standing above them, and everything on it was falling. The truth, however, was that energy was descending on them and into their souls. Like Abel, once the energy made its way into his body, it went straight towards his druid spirit and was purified instantly. Actually, the energy was just so pure that the druid spirit didn’t bother doing any filtering process. Soon, Abel’s druid rank was pushed to the peak of rank 21. This was unheard of, as there was supposed to be a massive gap between level 21 and level 22 druids. A promotion qi began to rise out of Abel. He didn’t even have to absorb any natural energy from outside his system this time. There was just so much inside of him that he could promote himself just by not moving. Of course, no elves watching could understand this. To most of them, promotion was always a lot more tedious. What they didn’t understand, however, was that Master Bennett took all the tree except its leaves. The leaves were just for the guests, while he was free to take the bark, the branches, roots, and pretty much all the other parts. Now, the big druids were just wondering something else. Why was it like Master Bennett, someone who couldn’t sing the hymn properly, could receive enough divine blessing to rank up like this? Was it to do with his connection with Lorraine, or was it something else? This was a 21 to 22 promotion, and most of them remembered how recent it was when Abel just became a big druid. Most of them were rank 21 themselves, and they were many centuries old already. Anyways, Abel just felt a promotion of his druid spirit. He was a rank 22 dragon druid now. This would also bring out the promotion of his main spirit. However, since he hadn’t yet brought out the peak strength of his lightning, freezing, and fire element spell capabilities, the progress he was making was not yet sufficient in boosting his law-defying wizard ranking.

Chapter 1108 - Giving The Gifts Chapter 1108: Giving the Gifts Still, Abel was more than satisfied. As long as he could keep the three elements full, it was only a matter of time before moving on to the next rank. In this world, there too many law-defying wizards stuck at rank 21 without making progress. He was already more than lucky to have his progress safe and secured. In any case, he understood that the Moon Goddess helped him an awful lot there. He performed a great bow in front of the others to show his gratitude. On the inside, he was actually kind of surprised that his druid rank would go up before any of his other classes. He had never trained his druid system before, and he was only focused on his wizard system most of the time. He tried to train his barbarian system lately, but he thought he might as well pause before he even got to learn some of the basic spells. That was the special thing about holding multiple classes. There weren’t just more resources required, but there would be many more spells that he could master. On that point, it just wasn’t possible for most people to sustain. Abel was an outlier in that regard. He did have an endless supply of resources, and he had the “inspection” rune and the “meditation” spiritual qi light ring to help him with energy recovery if he needed to learn anything. Things were a little different. Now that he had Bruce and his level 27 “meditation” spiritual qi light ring, he could use any amount of mana whenever. Abel’s build was more terrifying than a law-defying wizard. The power of wizard spells, the curses of a priest, and the summoning forces of druids combined into one individual. More terrifyingly, the promotion of anyone class would boost the promotion of all the other classes. He didn’t even have to think about improving his spells. All that was required for him to boost his level was to repeat practicing his spells. Still, repeating the same spell practice was not something easy to continue. Without the help of the tree of life and the Moon Goddess, there was just no way that Abel could boost his ranking to level 22. The tree of life, especially–after spending so much to guarantee its safety, Abel was able to secure a contract with it to boost his level from advanced to a law-defying wizard. Naturally, the Moon Goddess was not hesitant to spend a little more divine power on him for the services he’s been providing. She wasn’t the demon from beyond. Apart from keeping her state and temple safe, she always had spare divine power left to help with the promotion of any druid she wished to help. The Moon Goddess was also doing everything she could to prepare for the great battle against the demons from beyond. Abel didn’t know that, but as far as he was concerned, he came to today’s event at the right time. The divine blessing he just received could effectively save him several years, no, decades if he made progress entirely on his own. Druid Joseph and Druid Poly congratulated him, “Congratulations, Master Bennett!” They were not surprised at all with Master Bennett’s promotion. Actually, all the big druids knew that Master Bennet would always be promoted as long as he was full of natural energy. It was always like this. Compared to the vast majority of them, Master Bennett was a prodigy who could enhance himself in a matter of a few months or even weeks. Back to the hallroom. The hymn ended, and the harp band stopped performing. The grand elder had a full smile on his face as the Moon Goddess bestowed her divine blessing. The Goddess had been paying attention to the elves this whole time, and her eyes continued to be fixated on Abel. Druid Joseph reminded, “Perform a bow, please, Master Bennett. It’s just beneath the altar. Once you receive a blessing from the grand elder, you will be able to leave the temple.” Abel understood that the holy birthday activity was coming to an end. He walked to the front of the temple and lowered himself. The grand elder touched his head and said, “The Moon Goddess shall bless you, Master Bennett!” The grand elder spoke again when the hand left, “You are the elf that the Moon Goddess has paid the most attention to, Master Bennett. No one else has received as much liking as you have. Please cherish it to the best of your ability.” Abel bowed and spoke, “May the Moon Goddess bless me, Grand Elder.” After that, under the guidance of the ten big druids and Druid Lucia, he went out of the main hall through the side door. As soon as he was out, he began to see an elf lining up to receive a blessing from the grand elder. Druid Lucia whispered to him, “I’ll explain this to you since this is your first time here. Her majesty, the sainte, has not yet been officially throned. Most of what we do here on the holy birthday has been temporarily held by the grand elder.” Abel looked around and explained, “May I explore the temple, Druid Lucia?” He’s never seen a temple with an actual spirit inside. He’s visited other temples, though. Many of them. Still, all he saw today was the main hall and the side temple. Druid Lucia smiled, “Of course, Master Bennett!” By this time, Druid Joseph, Druid Poly, and Druid Gunter were already out. They were placed at the front of the line because of their relationship with Abel. Abel said to the three followers, “Go back by the flying chariot. I’ll be returning by myself.” The three followers bowed, “Yes, Master Bennett!” They then quickly left. Druid Lucia brought Abel to the inside of the temple. Druid Lucia explained as she walked, “There are only females inside the residential district. You will not be allowed to go over there, Master Bennett, but you’ll be free to visit all the other places.” While passing through the walkway inside the temple, Abel was starting to understand something. Before, he’s never quite understood why the druids inside this temple were much stronger than the male big druids he’s seen. But the inside of the temple was overflowing with worship power. There were be special circles placed at every corner, which meant that the circle would convert worship power into natural energy at any given point. It would be much easier for one to continue their druid training here than anywhere else. Not just that. This temple was the pinnacle of elven life. At every corner, one would be able to see the finest statues, sculptures, and paintings. Although they were mostly praising the Moon Goddess, most elves felt a great sense of harmony and joy just by being in their presence. Druid Lucia brought Abel to the restaurant and assembly room. Even the more secret training room was open to him. Inside the temple, everyone that saw him was humble and polite. They all understood the meaning behind his contract with the tree of life. Abel was somewhat of a divine spirit now. Not just that, he was still the sole producer of the “skin lotion” and “hair conditioner.” As the temple members consisted of only female elves, they would naturally seek Master Bennett’s support to uphold their beauty standards. Druid Lucia bowed after she’s done all the tour guiding, “That should be it. Apologies, Master Bennett. As her Majesty the sainte will be on the altar the entire day today, you’ll be….” Abel bowed to show his understanding, “I fully understand. Thank you so much, Druid Lucia. I’ll be off from here.” Druid Lucia returned a bow, “Your flying chariot is gone by now, isn’t it? Since the teleportation circle is not available today, would you like me to arrange another flying chariot for you?” Abel smiled and refused, “No need. I’ve got something else prepared.” He walked out of the temple and took his steps downward. He still felt a weak trace of divine power, but it was so subtle that it was almost like he was walking down a regular stairway. After walking down, he turned his head around towards the temple. Before, he always thought that his golden castle was the strongest building in the world, but he was only starting to notice how shallow his vision was. Yes, he did have enough structures to hold back even a legendary sacred knight. Still, in terms of both defensive and offensive capability, his castle was nothing compared to the temple in front of him. As powerful as the golden castle’s defense was, one divine power crystal was all that was needed to break through its barrier. Thinking back to when the legendary sacred knight came, if it weren’t for the material that the castle was built on, that knight would’ve gone into the internal structure before he could do anything about it. For the goddess temple, while Abel could not get a full picture of what the circle was like, he did get a feeling that divine power was protecting every single corner. This meant that there was no real weakness of any invader to exploit. This drew a huge contrast with the golden castle since the only ways to retaliate against an attack was through the large-size war machines and the dark spirit. Given the restriction of the large-sized war machines, the dark spirit’s attack could only be activated after the attacker went in. It was very different for the goddess temple. The Moon Goddess could use her power whenever she wished to manifest it. This was clearly evident in the way that the divine power was be flowing everywhere. In fact, if that legendary sacred knight from the other day was to be here, he might have been instantly killed by the ten female elven statues that were at the front gate. Queen Luisa called from behind Abel, “Good day, Master Bennett!” When Abel turned his head around, he could see Queen Lusia and the elves attending the holy birthday activity. These elves never left. Instead, they all stayed at the bottom of the temple. Abel performed a bow, “Why are you still here, Queen Luisa?” Queen Luisa bowed before answering, “The royal palace is responsible for escorting all the levels who attend today’s event, so we’ll be among the last group leaving. Actually, since your golden castle is the closest to the temple, we might have to borrow your teleportation circle for the time being.” Abel smiled and replied, “Good! Shall we leave together, then?” Abel was starting to understand why these elven royalties were here. Their idea was to borrow his teleportation circle, and he was fine with that. Now that they were leaving, they would still need to do the same. Without the protection of the royal palace, these elven royalties would surely find a lot of trouble inside Ervo Forest. In fact, he unconsciously agreed to lend the teleportation circle for a while now, but the fact that Queen Luisa and her underlings were waiting for him just showed how much they respected him. Soon, tens of flying chariots and big druids inside them were leaving the air. There was not much danger from the temple to the golden castle, so Abel just decided to follow him. He was planning on sitting inside his fire tooth battle fort, but he decided that he might as well join the royal palace. Queen Luisa was glad to see his compliance, “Ever since you’ve come to us, Master Bennett, you’ve never stopped helping the elves. You defeated the evil knights, protected the tree of life and Bay Law City. You’ve elevated our entire race’s statues with the high quality potions you brew. The royal palace has been thinking about an appropriate method to thank you, but we never managed to figure out what it is you might actually need. After hearing that you’ve been collecting bases of floating castles, by a unanimous vote, we’ve decided to give out all eight of our floating castle bases to you.” Abel was very, very pleased to hear this, “Many thanks to you, your Majesty! This will be very helpful to me.” He knew that the elves had inherited many things from ancient times, but he’s never really bothered asking anything directly. Now, he would have eight battle forts from the royal palace that he didn’t even have to ask for. He could build another octagonal hybrid circle if he wanted to. Queen Luisa smiled, “It’s nothing compared to your contribution to the elves. Basically, the elven royal palace had completely shifted its attitude towards Master Bennett. Handing out the battle fort went from “granting” them to “giving” them away. They were pretty much treating Master Bennett as an equal but in a very respectful manner.

Chapter 1109 - Research Chapter 1109: Research In the morning, Abel was already sitting inside battle fort no. 1. He above the golden castle. He was camouflaged, so no guests who came here to eat and enjoy the legendary light would actually see him. Of course, he still had Doff holding the ancient totem beside him. In battlecry city over the distance, countless worship pathways were connected to his position. This meant that the barbarian class was coming back. Since the Wizard Union was very skeptical or very certain that Master Bennett was the one who took the ancient totem under the support of the Moon Goddess, they decided not to take a proactive stance in interfering with the religious practices of the barbarians. There was another important factor. After thousands of years of oppression, the barbarians had lost all influence to threaten any group that was not their own. The Wizard Union understood that, and they were not going to interfere. Rather, they didn’t want to do anything with the barbarians even more, now that Master Bennett clearly proved to be connected to them. Ever since the first barbarian priest performed a “healing” on an advanced wizard, the WIzard Union had been taking a great interest in studying techniques of this sort. To their surprise, this healing worked almost identically to Master Bennett’s “light healing potion,” which further demonstrated the connection between the two. The production rate seemed to vary drastically, however. While one barbarian priest would spend 20 hours praying to receive one prayer, after multiple days, they could increase the maximum threshold to three. Combined with the “scream,” “battle system” and “battle command,” barbarian priests quickly became the most reliable partner choice for those who were fighting on the frontline. Abel took notice of that, of course. To meet the growing demand, he would increase the number of barbarian class holders to be priests. Again, the Wizard Union would not interfere whatsoever. They didn’t mind violating some rules if it meant preparing themselves better against the demon from beyond that would wake up within the next hundred years. In other words, Abel was lucky to have picked this time to do this because if he were a few decades early, he would’ve had to at least face a direct investigation from a legendary wizard, and that might ruin his relationship with the Moon Goddess. Essentially, Doff was unofficially recognized as the ruler of an entire race’s religion. Doff was not a divine spirit yet, however, but something that was growing into one. The chance of it happening was certain, as it was known that the worship would not stop at any point. It would be only a matter of time before Doff was an actual divine spirit, but again, time was exactly what Abel lacked. It would be at least a millennium for Doff to actually become a divine spirit, and that was to become the weakest type. Also, despite being Doff’s master, Abel had no clue about the knowledge system of the divine spirit. This would make the process even more difficult. Without the existence of the Nation of God, nor the threat of the demon from beyond, he would’ve never had to work as hard as this. During the day, he would complete missions that the Potionmaster’s Guild handed him, whether it was to make supplies for his clients or to cultivate his group of followers in the Nation of God. During the night, he would spend the entire 10 days and night equivalent to proceed with his training. Since he was a blue dragon now, he could sleep with the special method of a dragon, and he was sure that it would bring him to the same level as a legendary within 1000 years. Things weren’t always so bright for Abel, however. The existence of the crystal angelic statue would make him the no. 1 target of the demon from beyond if it was to wake up. He was also among the worst of enemies to the Nation of God. He had to do whatever he could to prepare against any assassination attempts. For now, he dropped his thoughts and produced a knight’s long sword in his hand. The blade would appear as though it contained some spirituality. He would practice the knights’ sword techniques that he hadn’t been practicing so long at battle fort no.1. This time, as he entered into the dark world, his barbarian basic training helped him obtain enough qi to learn one beginner-level skill. He chose “command long sword,” a passive spell that would change how he would feel when he was gripping the sword. He also tried to change his mindset about the knight as a class. All this time, he thought that the only way for knights to break limits and extend their lifespan was by becoming a class holder. He applied the same concept to his family and underlings when he turned them into wizards with the life elixir. However, there would be too few life elixirs that he would’ve had enough to supply even with his connection to the tree of life. If he wanted the Holy Continent to grow stronger, he had to find a new direction for knights to grow. The idea came once he had ownership over the ancient totem. He thought that maybe he could let the barbarians become the class that the knights would promote themselves to. If it were in the past, what he would consider first would be the sacred knight class, but he was more cautious about not having any sacred knight on the Holy Continent whatsoever because of what happened over on the Lance Continent. After learning the “command long sword,” he managed to understand something. There were a lot of similarities between barbarians and knights. They both use their bodies to fight, and now, the only problem would be to see if the barbarian’s basic training routine would work on humans. Until now, at least, he’s never managed to learn this himself. Anyhow, he needed to do some testing on his own. After using the ancient totem to enter into the “enlightenment blessing,” he tried to look for information that might be useful for humans to try the basic training routine of the barbarians. He would assume that it would be harder than this, given that back on the Battlecry city, it was really just the talented barbarians that would learn how to do this, and that was only if they received an “enlightenment blessing” directly from the divine spirit. The most important part would have to be to receive a blessing from Doff. The barbarians had to be Doff’s followers. Since he couldn’t convert his knights on the Holy Continent to become followers here, he would have to wait to test that out. Right now, Abel might increase his own fighting abilities. He was going to do it for two years, and hopefully, he could improve his rank to legendary within two years. It was not what regular class holders could accomplish, but if he was using his time to his best ability, he might take two songs of life to boost his level as he cleared through more areas within the dark world. The research spirit sent a voice on the battle fort, “Druid Lendo is waiting for you, Master.” Abel smiled and spoke to himself, “They’re here for the gift!” Soon, his body was teleported straight from the battlefort to the guest meeting room. He greeted Druid Lendo passionately as soon as he saw him, “Welcome, Druid Lendo!” Druid Lendo bowed, “Sorry for the interruption, Master Bennett.” Abel made an inviting gesture, “Please, take a seat.” Once Druid Lendo sat down, the servants went forward to serve the juice. Druid Lendo didn’t drink the juice, “I’ve come here on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, Master Bennett, to send the eight floating fort bases over.” Abel smiled and responded, “Allow me to say thanks to her Majesty, Druid Lendo.” Druid Lendo bowed, “The clan has something else that needs help from you, if you may.” Abel was obviously not going to turn this down, “Please, Druid Lendo, go ahead. I’m not going to refuse something that I can’t contribute to.” Druid Lendo suddenly stood up, “Two level 23 big druids have reached their bottleneck stage. As a fellow elf, would you please ask the tree of life to help them with their promotion?” Abel would not say no, but he was not sure where these big druids might’ve come from. The elves never had ranks this high, to begin with. It really had to do with the fact that they didn’t like fighting on their own. Abel smiled and responded, “It’s only natural, Druid Lendo, for me to help out my kind. How about this? Have the two big druids come to the tree of life is over the next few days, and I’ll ask the tree of life for help.” It should’ve been Queen Luisa to come here and ask that, but maybe she thought that she wasn’t so close to Abel as Druid Lendo. Druid Lendo was a bit embarrassed, “The two are already waiting inside the defense fort outside of the valley. Would you like to head there right now, Master Bennett?” As the Nation of God had been more aggressive in their expansionist attempts on the central continent. The elves had been busy bolstering their own strength. For Abel, ever since he was here to purchase the skyships, the originally loose druid military was undergoing drastic reform that would make them much more disciplined and efficient. It was all to face the battle against the Nation of God. Right now, the one thing that the elves lacked the most would be the top-level fighting force. There weren’t that many level 23 big druids to begin with, but only level 24 or 25 would make the druids be the very elite warriors. In any case, the elves had thought about using the resources that they had to help Master Bennett and prompt his big druid promotion. During this time, they heard that Master Bennett demanded ancient items such as the battle fort. It was only natural that they would want to trade with him like this. On the surface, they were giving these forts away, but honestly, he knew that he was not going to turn down their favors if they just “gave” away something. Abel smiled and pointed at Druid Lendo, “I see you’ve made your calculations.” Amidst the teleportation circle where the valley was, Abel saw the two level 23 big druids waiting for him. He could see their life energy rotting away, and they both had hoodies on that would hide away their faces. They must’ve used special transformation techniques to extend their lifespans. It was just like Wizard Malon from many years ago, although the method must be different. Abel announced, “I can’t guarantee that the tree of life would be willing to help those two.” Druid Lendo frowned, “You can tell?” Abel shook his head, “The presence they are emitting. I don’t think they will be welcomed.” One of the big druids spoke quietly, “Please, help us, Master Bennett!” Their bodies hadn’t been shaking even until now. It’s almost like they were turned into trees. When they tried to bow to him, their waists couldn’t even bend. Druid Lendo introduced, “These are the Lofer Brothers. They’ve used a special technique of the royal palace to extend their lifespan.” The Lofer Brothers took off their hoodies and revealed their faces. They were literally trees. Their bodies were wood. It was the same for their faces. One of them said, “Our bodies can still bend, Master Bennett. Our movements are not as flexible, but we are not that different to most people.” Abel realized that the two synchronize in their speech, “You are twins?” They spoke at the same time, “Yes, Master Bennett. We can cooperate perfectly in most situations.” That was understandable. It would be great for the elves if they could have these two strengthened in their fighting abilities. From what he could see, he could do two things to help. One would be to enhance their ranks to 24, while the other would help them with their body flexibility. Abel spoke, “You should know, Lofer Brothers, that the tree of life may not acknowledge you for your attempts to extend your life with unnatural means.” They spoke together, “Please, Master Bennett! That’s why we need you!” No one understood the hardship these two went through over the past few centuries. When all the class holders stopped making progress after they transformed their bodies, they somehow found a way to move from level 22 to 23.

Chapter 1110 - Help Chapter 1110: Help The Lofer Brothers moved in a strange way with their stiffened bodies. They could only use poison creepers to carry them forward. Big Druid Lendo stopped after he entered the tree of life valley. Abel and the brothers approached the tree of life. Abel ignited his soul speaker ability and placed his hand on a branch. He immediately received a sense of gratitude from the tree of life regarding the increase in defense before he even raised any requests. Although the tree of life was in the valley, it was always aware of the things occurring in the Ervo forest. Its gratitude was not just a matter of words. Greenlight began to flash off its leaves, and life force began to sift out. Small glowing crystals appeared. They were little drops of water of life. More and more droplets were gathered, and finally, a liter was gathered. It then floated in mid-air in front of Abel. Abel would not reject an offer like this. As far as he knew, the tree of life valued fair trade. He built defense for the tree of life, so the tree of life had to do something in return. Of course, this is only possible because Abel had a contract with the tree of life. There was no way a dragon would trade with an ant. Big Druid Lendo and the Lofer Brothers were stunned. This is the most amount of water the tree of life had ever produced at once. Big Druid Lendo almost wondered if the tree of life saved water for Master Bennett during its normal production. However, he soon got this idea out of his head. He would never think that of a spirit like this. He could watch painfully as master Bennett took out a jar and put the water away in his portal bag. The most valuable resource of the elves was the water from the tree of life. The herbs grown in the valley were just subsidies. There was a wide range of usage for those waters. For example, before master Bennett’s light healing potion was a thing, its water was made into powerful healing potions. It was just that they had to limit its power and dilute it because of its rarity. The water of life was also what kept Wizard Marlon alive in his puppet state. Abel couldn’t care less about what big Druid Lendo thought. He wouldn’t mind taking the water of life. His friends and family in the Holy Continent could make good use of it. Afterward, he turned to the desperate-looking Lofer Brothers and raised a request to the tree of life. “What?” Abel was stunned by the tree of life’s reply. Helping 2 rank 23 druids level up to rank 24 needed 400 top level gems. This was beyond anything he expected. Although he did not lack in gems, no big organization in this world could bear this price. After all, all magic circles were run by gems, and top-level gems were the panicle of energy. What the tree of life asked was simple, using large amounts of energy to alter the bodies of 2 big druids. Abel shook his head and began to take out green gems from his holy portal bag. Although the Loafer’s brothers’ faces were stiffened, they were stunned by master Bennett’s action. 100 gems, 200 gems, 300 gems, and finally 400 gems were put down. They were glistening under the sunlight, which almost made the elves go blind. It was a huge sum of wealth, but Master Bennett was willing to make this sacrifice of the Lofer Brothers. Big druid Lendo was already planning to report this to Queen Luisa as soon as they returned to repay Master Bennett. He didn’t believe 8 battle forts was an equal trade for 400 top level gems. If Abel didn’t make light gems so popular, mana gem would be the most stable currency. Of course, Abel also wondered if the tree of life just needed more energy to replenish the water it just gave out. The tree of life reached out its root and dragged the gems down. Afterward, 2 green beams shot out from its branches. They wrapped around the Lofer Brothers and carried them in mid-air. The brothers sensed that their souls were being scanned. It was almost like there was nothing they could hide. After the tree of life understood the Lofer Brothers and their knowledge of natural energy, it began to transfer information that could help them level up into their souls. All of a sudden, every question they ever had was answered. They were enlightened. The Lofer Brothers were twins, and they trained together, but their enlightenment was different. After all, only the tree of life could make a druid feel enlightened tailored to their being, making them level up almost instantly. Abel sensed large amounts of life force rushing into the Lofer Brothers. Although he could not sense the change in their body, he could see their faces soften up. Initially, they were as stiff as 2 blocks of wood, but now some human emotion began to emerge. Abel realized why 400 gems were needed. Although the tree of life kept a little for itself, most of it was still spent on the brothers. Slowly, the energy of a 2 rank 24 druids began to emerge. The green glow faded after an hour, and the Lofer Brothers were lowered again. The Lofer Brothers did a backflip in mid-air and carefully landed without stomping on any herbs. Drops of tears began to roll down from their wooden faces. No one could imagine how they made it through the past 100 years. Their bodies were so stiff they couldn’t even make a sound. All they could do was think. They almost felt like they were a block of wood instead of beings. If they didn’t support each other as twins, there was no way they would make it to this day. Ever since they heard about Master Bennett after they came out of retreat, they wanted to ask master Bennett for help. Even as rank 23, their bodies remained a limit to their level up. “Thank you so much master Bennett!” The big brother said in excitement. His voice was still sounding a little raspy, but it sounded like a normal person. “We owe our lives to you!” The little brother added. “Don’t say that. It’s my duty to help the royal elves after receiving your gifts!” Abel smiled. However, the Lofer Brothers knew very well it was near impossible for them to get 400 top level gems even at rank 24. Still, they wouldn’t let their emotions affect their training. It was not something Abel wanted to see anyway. “Big druid Loafers. The royal palace will make up for Master Bennett’s expense. Lets head back and let the queen know about this good news!” Big Druid Lendo stepped up in excitement. The Lofer Brothers were the most powerful druids besides the ones in the temple. Their mission was not to repay favors but to strengthen their power for the unexpected war. On the way back, they jumped on a mad wolf, just like a normal big druid. Abel returned to the golden castle with 8 more battle forts in his holy portal bag. The first thing he did was step on battle fort no.1 and let out his 8 new battle forts. Luckily the altered 8-star magic circle formed by the 10 battle forts formed a separate dimension allowing him to take out the 8 new battle forts and the 2 other ones Abel obtained recently. He placed the 10 new battle forts in a position according to the altered 8-star magic circle and ignited their spirit one by one through the commander spirit. When everything was set, he named them battle fort no.11 to no. 20 and connected them to the magic circle spirit and black spirit. “Magic circle spirit, set them up!” Abel said in command. Soon, battle fort no 11 to 20 began to rise in the layout of an 8-star magic circle and stopped 100 meters above. “Master, please choose between setting up a new 8 star magic circle with battle fort no.11 to 20, or creating a new magic circle with all 20 battle forts!” The magic circle spirit sounded. The precision the magic circle spirit required was not a magic circle amateur like Abel could comprehend. “Magic circle spirit, which one has stronger defence?” Abel asked. “Master, creating a new magic circle with all 20 battle forts will be stronger! Please supply the power required,” The magic circle spirit replied. Abel immediately knew what he should do. He flashed into the operation room of battle fort no.1 and took out the Lance Spirit from his holy portal bag filled with mana gems, and installed it onto the fort. “Magic circle spirit, you can use the power of the Lance spirit!” Abel said. Afterward, large amounts of energy rushed towards the Lance Spirit and the magic circle spirit. Abel waited patiently. He knew how complicated a magic circle must be. He stayed in the operation room for 6 hours, and a dark gold flash on the Lance spirit began to dim. “Master, after going through all the data from the research spirit and the Lance spirit, a star light defence circle is available to set up!” The magic circle spirit sounded. “What so special about it?” Abel was curious about what took so long. The Lance spirit was responsible for running an entire continent. With all its data working together with Abel’s other spirits. How powerful was this star light defense circle?

Chapter 1111 - Heal Chapter 1111: Heal “The star light protection circle was altered from the super protection circle. With enough power it can forbid dimensional attacks and lock down above the golden castle!” The magic circle spirit explained. Abel was caught off guard. Was this thing a super circle? A super circle was extremely rare in this world. Only the most important place would be equipped with one, like the Howling Castle in the front line. The resources it required would normally take tens of generations to gather. Just like the super teleportation circle, he obtained from the Lance Continent. There was no way he could make them himself. “Magic circle spirit. Is that thing a super circle?’ Abel asked. “Master, the star light protection circle will eventually become a super protection circle if you keep supplying it with data and increase its power!” The magic circle explained. Suddenly, Abel realized that they might not have used battle forts to set up circles, even in ancient times. It was only now, where no one could ignite battle forts, that he could get so many. “Magic circle spirit. Give me the map of the circle!” Abel asked. Soon, a map appeared in his brain with 20 dots. There were shadows beside the 20 dots. It seemed like they were the position where his 20 battle forts should be. He realized the position of those dots was very similar to the 20 brightest stars in the sky. He put the Lance spirit back in his holy portal bag and teleported to battle fort no.1. Since he was setting up a new circle, he needed to move those forts manually. This task was simple with the Holy Portal Bag. All he needed was to retrieve a battle fort and let them out again in the right position. Still, he could only do it one by one, considering how big those things were. “Magic circle spirit, set them up!” Abel placed the forts in the right position and said. Suddenly, an earth-shaking rumble emerged, and sparkles of starlight flashed from the sky. Even the shining sunlight could not cover them. At that moment, 10 powerful professionals admired the legendary light from the golden castle and saw the changes above. “Is the golden castle increasing protection?’ A law-defying wizard saw the sparkles in the sky and gasped. The golden castle had counteracted a legendary knight. It played a role in the creation of that legendary light. “Maybe even a few legendaries might not break this defence!” A law-defying wizard added. “Haha, that’s great. My men are quite close with Master Bennett. We will will be invincible if we hide in the golden castle during danger!” A big Druid laughed. All the other professionals also laughed. They agreed. Abel was very happy himself as well. Considering the power of this thing, it was definitely more powerful than another 8-star protection circle. On top of that, the circle corresponded with the alignment of the stars, so one would need to break the power of heaven and earth before penetrating the golden castle. The starlight protection circle was a 3-dimensional circle with 20 battle forts at different heights and 3 layers of defense. The powerful holy crystal could break one level, but could it break 2 or 3, or even 10? If Abel could get 10 more battle forts, this circle might be able to fend off a god for a short amount of time. “Master, legendary Larkin has some urgent news for you!” The research spirit sounded as Abel was standing on battle fort no.1 in the second layer of defense. The research spirit was responsible for Abel’s day-to-day, which was why Abel could be so carefree. “Legendary wizard Larkin? Abel was confused. Wizard Larkin had given him a lot of respect which meant his status was already on par with the legendaries, even though he still had a distance to go when it came to power. “Research spirit, tell me about it!” He asked. Soon, a message was transferred. “Master Bennett, it’s Wizard Larkin. If you are free, please come to the defence wall of Doomsday. I’ve given you the permission and the situation is urgent. So please come as soon as possible!” Wizard Larkin said in a respectful tone. Abel was free, but the wall of Doomsday was near the front line. He could not go without preparation. Potions were a must, as well as gear. He then put Doff the Beamon back in his monster ring. Frankenstein also came along. He was an elf, so he needed a wizard to help him move in a flash. He thought for a moment and also put Bruce in his monster ring. It was just that he wouldn’t let him out until the last moment. After everything was set, he teleported to the dungeon and ignited the giant teleportation circle. Soon, he spotted his permission to teleport to the wall of Doomsday directly. This permission was extremely rare in the continent. Most people needed to go through the wizard union. Only someone as powerful as Wizard Larkin could grant out permission like this. Abel and Frankenstein appeared in the familiar wall of Doomsday and immediately sensed that a powerful power of the will surrounded them. In a flash, they appeared in a lounge. Abel turned and saw Wizard Luke and another wizard with the scent of a legendary looking at a wizard sitting on a chair. That wizard was glowing in a dark green Abel never seen before. He seemed poisoned. Normal poisons were only light green, and dark green was looking extremely scary. That wizard took out a bottle of light healing potion and threw the empty bottle on the ground. Dong! Abel looked down and realized there were already more than 500 bottles of empty crystal glass on the ground. “Master Bennett, this is legendary Wizard Dolan and legendary Wizard Gallo. Wizard Dolan was badly poisoned in an ancient sight and we used up our light healing potions!” Wizard Luke explained. “Its my honour to help you!” Abel bowed. It was a desperate situation, but Abel still needed to show his respect. After all, there was quite a gap before becoming a legend. “Master Bennett, there’s no need to bow. Just quickly come and look at Dolan and see if you have any solutions!” Wizard Luke waved his hand and said. “Master Bennett, if it was because of your life healing potions, I would be dead at this point. Thank you!” WIzard Dolan still managed to smile with an icky green glow. He poured another light healing potion in his mouth as he spoke. He then added, “this is the last bottle, luckily you came in time!” Abel did not take out more light healing potions for Wizard Dolan. Instead, he took out a poison antidote from the Dark World. “Wizard Dolan, please drink this!” He said confidently, which was a relief to the heart of the wizards. It was hard to imagine what would happen to their forces if a legendary wizard was dead in the Central Continent. Legendaries were the pinnacle of power. They each played a huge role in the structure of the continent. “Master Bennett, I trust you!” Wizard Dolan opened his mouth and gently poured the poison antidote in. The effect was almost instant. The dark green on his face faded in less than 10 seconds, exposing a pale face. “Haha, I know Master Bennett had a solution!” Wizard Larkin laughed from the side. He then patted Abel on the shoulder, and the other legendaries followed. It was a show of respect for Abel. “I’m saved!” Wizard Dolan stood up again and stretched his back. He then stood up straight with a serious face and bowed to Abel. “Master Bennett, I owe my life to you. From now on just call me if you need any help!” Wizard Dolan lowered his voice. “Wizard Dolan, it was your luck that my antidote worked on you!” Abel smiled. “Master Bennett, let’s talk business. Can you change up the flavour of your light healing potions? Their taste is making me sick after drinking thousands of bottles!” Wizard Dolan laughed. Everyone began to laugh. He might have been the first person to drink thousands of light healing potions at once. Luckily the light healing potions directly turned into energy as soon as it enters the body. If not, there was no way Wizard Dolan could drink so many. “Wizard Dolan, every ingredient in the light healing potions were irreplaceable. Changing the flavour is not really possible!” Abel also laughed. He reached his power of the will in his holy portal bag and took out 50 power potions. He continued, “these are my new power potions. They taste the same as the light healing potions but they look different and they are more powerful. I hope that helps!” “Master Bennett. We are just about to ask you for some of those!” Wizard Larkin laughed from the side. Ever since Abel had given out the power potion to his guests at the party, the wizard union recognized the power potion. The legendaries needed something like this since light healing potions were way too weak to heal their injuries. This was how Wizard Dolan cleared out all the light healing potions in their inventory at once.

Chapter 1112 - Invite Chapter 1112: Invite “Master Bennett, take a look at this formula!” Wizard Larkin took out a crisp-looking parchment for Abel. Abel knew it was his reward, and it was a potion named ‘mana resistance potion.’ It was from ancient times, and it included many ingredients he had never heard of. He turned his gaze back to Wizard Larkin with confusion. “Master Bennett, I found this mana resistance potion formula and the information about it from an ancient sight’s scripture after many years of searching!” Wizard Larkin explained. “Wizard Larkin, so you are saying the ingredients for this potion still exist?” Abel began to understand what Wizard Larkin meant. “Yes, it was the reason Dolan had risked his life!” Wizard Larkin nodded. “Do you want me to make this potion? I am confident since it is a master grade potion, but you need to provide me with the ingredients!” Abel agreed. “Master Bennett, according to what we know, at least 3 ingredients need to be used 2 hours after they are harvested!” Wizard Larkin laughed awkwardly. A ‘mana resistance potion.’ resistance potion was a secret of the WIzard union. Not many had even heard of it. It had the power to achieve full Lightning and ice resistance for 4 seconds, which directly impacted the status of wizards. However, to make one, one must first obtain the ingredients for them. This was why many ancient potions needed to be altered, which could take tens or even hundreds of years. Although this potion was effective against wizards, it would work the best against holy knights. The 2 scariest auras of the holy knights were holy freeze and holy charge. Half of the wizards in the front line were killed by them. Therefore, a war between the Central Continent and the Holy Kingdom had to break out in the next century. The wizard union was going all out on researching the mana resistance potion. However, it was a potion with the power of law, and they soon realized every ingredient was irreplaceable. Until the day they found some new information in ancient scriptures. There was a garden out there with all the necessary ingredients prepared, so Wizard Dolan decided to go for a search and almost got himself killed. Still, he confirmed its existence. There were many ancient sights with different levels of security. The more important they were, the scarier they were. Abel knew very well. He was no stranger to ancient sights. Although he found many goodies in them, he would not want to explore one by himself. There might be no one more familiar with ancient sights than him. Abel finally understood WIzard Larkin’s intention, but he hesitated. Even Wizard Dolan almost got himself killed, so he didn’t want to take the risk. “Master Bennett, I know this is risky, but don’t worry. Us 3 legendaries will come along to protect you. Your safety is our first priority!” Wizard Larkin bowed. He was not lying. Master Bennett’s safety really was more important than the potion ingredients. Even if they failed, they all agreed they would not want to lose Master Bennett. At the same time, Master Bennett would be able to support them during the journey. At least they wouldn’t be poisoned like Wizard Dolan. Although those wizards were not potion makers, they would still tell the difference between light healing potions and the poison antidote Abel just used on Wizard Dolan. “Which legendaries are coming?” Abel knew Wizard Larkin was sincere. After all, he still had some lifesavers. He could hide in the Dark World during the most dangerous of times. “Master Bennett, is that a yes?” Wizard Larkin felt his heart lift. For professionals on their level, 4 seconds could define victory, which was why they were willing to risk so much for the mana resistance potion. “How could I not agree!” Abel smiled. “Master Bennett, Wizard Dolan will come along, and also Wizard Doran!” Wizard Larkin pointed and said. “Master Bennett, please tell us what you want in exchange. We will try our best to be satisfied!” Wizard Larkin smiled. He just wanted to settle the deal as soon as possible and take out what he had immediately; this way, Master Bennett could no longer say no. He knew Master Bennett must be apprehensive after seeing a legendary wizard getting poisoned. “Really, Wizard Larkin?’ Abel asked. “Of course, only if the wizard union agrees, of course!” Wizard Larkin laughed. “Wizard Larkin, I want to register a super teleportation circle in the wizard union network!” Abel smiled and said bluntly. “Master Bennett, you want a super teleportation circle?” Abel spoke in such a vague tone that Wizard Larkin didn’t know what to say all of a sudden. A super teleportation circle was not only a matter of value. Cultivating a spirit took time, and they were not easy to find. Each could take at least 10 years. “Wizard Larkin, I don’t need a super teleportation circle. I just want the permission to connect one to the wizard union network!” Abel cleaned up his sentence. “Master Bennett, you have the materials for a super teleportation circle?” Wizard Larkin pointed at Abel in disbelief. At the same time, he let out a big breath of relief. All that took was a yes from him. “I just got a little lucky!” Abel didn’t want to explain too much, so he just smiled. Wizard Larkin also didn’t want to ask too much. Considering Abel’s status, even legendaries had to respect him. Breaking their bonds with little things like this was not with it. If Abel were a normal professional, no way they would let him go easily. “Master Bennett, that’s no problem. Just set up the super teleportation circle, and we will let you register!” Wizard Larkin laughed. “Wizard Larkin, thank you so much. When are we heading out?” Abel bowed. “On the first day of the new year. We will go to the golden castle and take you along. I heard the golden castle has the best scenery and the best food in the world!” Wizard Dolan laughed from the side. Wizard Dolan had taken such a big hit he still needed some time to recover with light healing potions. That was why they couldn’t go immediately. Luckily the potions of the dark world would not cause any side effects. The healing potions of this world, on the other hand, would be useless after less than 10 bottles. After the business was taken care of, Abel returned to his golden castle and arrived at the operation room to see the magic circle spirit. “Magic circle spirit, find a spot nearby I can set up a super teleportation circle!” He said. The magic circle spirit immediately began to scan the areas around the golden castle. Selecting a spot for a super teleportation circle was not easy. A powerful energy wave would be created each time a super teleportation circle was ignited. This energy was not something normal people could tolerate, and it would affect the operation of other magic circles. Therefore, they needed to be set up in a place away from people and other magic circles. “Master, here are the available areas!’ Abel received a map. There was a plateau located below the valley of the golden castle. Abel was only 1 mile away, so he was a little skeptical. He didn’t want his steward and servants in the castle to get hurt. “Magic circle. If I set up a super teleportation circle there, will it affect the well being of the elves in my castle?” Abel asked. “Master, the golden castle’s defence is capable of blocking all energy waves and the super teleportation circle would be recognised as a protected sight by the star light protection circle!” The magic circle spirit explained. The golden castle was one of the finest works by the dwarves. Its defense was definitely top-notch, even without the 20 battle forts. It had the power to counteract all kinds of energy impact and dimensional force. After all, the dwarves were masters of architecture. Not to mention, the super teleportation circle was a mile away anyway. “Magic circle spirit, open the energy monitor circle and teleport the elves in the golden castle to a safe place as soon as a problem occurred!” Abel agreed and proceeded with the plan. Although this cost more energy, Abel had more than enough gems. “Yes master!” The magic circle spirit replied. Abel then teleported to the area the magic circle suggested and took out boxes of material. What came after was no longer Abel’s business. All he needed was to watch as the magic circle spirit operated its puppets. A super teleportation circle was not just a simple teleportation circle. There were also large amounts of supporting magic circles to create the sea amounts of energy required. If not, the circle would not be able to function.

Chapter 1113 - Construct Chapter 1113: Construct Setting up a super teleportation circle was no simple task. It would take a long time, even if the 100 puppets worked endlessly. Since the super teleportation circle needed data from the area, it needed to be connected to the golden castle. Which meant they had to extend the base of the Golden Castle. Therefore, Abel had been checking up on it a few times a day for the next few days. Since Abel did not keep it a secret, the visitors all spotted the construction process. They never expected it to be a super teleportation circle through. They were curious, but most of them did not pay too much attention. Still, the dwarves noticed. The dwarves altered the gold of the golden castle, so expanding the base meant the dwarves needed to send large amounts of gold over as well. The super teleportation circle was finally completed on the last day of the year, and Abel visited his 3 followers. Although Abel might be the only one using this super teleportation circle, the place still needed to be cleaned up by professionals, which his followers would take care of. The half-elf servants in the castle were incapable of this job, so he could only ask some low-rank professionals from the Judson family for help. Since Abel wanted to match the style of his golden castle, the super teleportation circle was built with gold from the dwarves as well. The puppets had perfectly replicated the skills of the dwarves on the surface, but Abel and his followers knew very well there was not a single mistake inside. “Master Bennett, this is a super teleportation circle!” Big Druid Poly’s jaw dropped. As a druid raised in the elves by a small noble family, she had never had the chance to approach the super teleportation circle in the temple. “The cost of this thing can make a big noble family go bankrupt!” Big Druid Josephus also sighed. The Judson family was known for their trade, so the cost was the first thing that came to his mind. In fact, just the countless supporting circles alone were enough to make a big noble family go bankrupt. “All of you have the permission to use this super teleportation circle once a year. If you don’t use it, I will give you the corresponding resources for the energy required!” Abel smiled. “Master Bennett, I just want the resources!” Druid Gunter said. He had the best training conditions of any elves, and he was already on the track of becoming a big Druid. The other 2 big druids agreed. There was no need for them to use a super teleportation circle, and they had no intention of visiting a subcontinent. They were already big druids. Subcontinents had nothing to offer them. They were just happy that Abel was about to increase their resources. Abel allowed his followers to explore the circle by themselves while entering an underground room filled with protection circles. There was an extra-large energy storage box with the capacity to hold 5000 gems. Abel dumped 5000 top-level gems from his holy portal bag and used his power of the will to direct them to the sockets. Once they were used up, the puppets would be able to replenish them with the tens of thousands of top-level gems from the golden castle. Afterward, he flashed towards the spirit and ignited with his power of the will. A green glow emerged, and all the circles around were ignited as well. A powerful energy wave began to gather. Mana gems were not the only energy source of a super teleportation circle. They were only for the supporting circles to gather mana for the main teleportation circles. Therefore, a part of it had to be top-quality gems. Soon, mana from the surrounding area was gathered, and a mana environment was created. As energy continued to move around, all the supporting circles were fully ignited. However, not the main teleportation circle. It only did a gentle check-up, and it was shut down. “Master, the super teleportation circle is working normally!” The magic circle spirit sounded. Abel had permitted the magic circle spirit to take care of the super teleportation circle. He didn’t have time to mind another spirit by himself. There were tens of spirits in the gold castle alone, but they were all taken care of by 3 main spirits. The magic circle spirits were responsible for all magic circles. The research spirit was responsible for Abel’s day-to-day businesses, and the black spirit was responsible for any potential intruder from using the power of will. “Magic circle spirit. Connect to the Wizard Union network!” Abel asked in command. “Yes Master!” As it sounded, the super teleportation circle began to gather mana again. But this time, it no longer needed to use the energy from the gems. There was a rule. All super teleportation circles could only be ignited once the energy with the mana gathering circles had reached a certain threshold. After all, no organization wanted to use more mana gems than necessary. Of course, this did not include Abel. His spirits could use as many as they wanted. As Abel’s followers admired the main structure of the circle, an ear-piercing siren erupted, signaling them to leave. Afterward, they saw a jaw-dropping scene of large amounts of energy rushing into the main circle. Afterward, beams of lights shoot out from the golden structure. It was almost like a storm; the energy it sifted out was scary. The patterns on the main circle outside of the building began to rush around. Of course, this was not a super teleportation in full action. It was just unleashing the energy needed to communicate with the further circle. The energy used was not that much since it basically used a super teleportation circle as a long-distance communication circle. Still, it was the main method a sub-continent could communicate with the Central Continent since they needed to send some reports over from time to time. The magic circle spirit did so to raise a request and connect to the Wizard Union teleportation network. After the request was sent, they just needed to wait. The process only took around a minute. It seemed like Wizard Larkin had notified the union beforehand. After the super teleportation circle was connected to the network, messages began to emerge. Abel connected to those messages and saw all super teleportation circles from the Central Continent and the Subcontinents, including the Holy Continent. There were 4 super teleportation circles in the Holy Continent. One belonged to the Wizard Unions in Linate City, the second one in the elves, the third one in the dwarves, and the fourth one in the Orc empire. Since Wizard Larkin permitted Abel to connect, all super teleportation circles from the wizard union were listed. Abel knew creating a structure like this was not easy. For example, if Abel were to register himself as an elf, he would only be able to connect to other super teleportation circles of the elves unless he got a confirmation beforehand. This was because large amounts of energy would be used from both ends with each ignited. However, the wizard union had the permission to connect with any super teleportation circle forcefully. There was no way for the other side to reject, as for the energy expenditure, the wizard union would cover them afterward. This was covered for Abel’s super teleportation circle as well. Therefore Wizard Larkin’s permission had given Abel much more than he initially imagined. Finally, the super teleportation circle was ready to operate. Abe immediately felt the urge to return to the Holy Continent, but he knew it was not realistic at the moment. He was be exploring an ancient sight with 3 legendary wizards tomorrow. “Master, Wizard Hutton and Wizard Bernie are waiting for you in the lounge!” The research spirit sounded. Abel directly stepped on the golden short-distance teleportation circle and returned to the golden castle’s lounge. “Master Bennett, I heard you are building a super teleportation circle!” Bernie jumped up as soon as Abel appeared. “Yeah, it was just completed. Did your teacher tell you?” Abel gazed at Wizard Hutton, signaling that he had talked too much. Although Abel didn’t ask the dwarves for any help when it came to constructing the circle, he still needed to explain what was going on after requesting so much gold from them. “Master Bennett, how could I not tell Bernie about it considering our relationship!” Wizard Hutton said irritatedly. Bernie had missed his family ever since he left the Holy Continent. After all, Bernie was a normal dwarf. He did not have the coldness of a wizard. However, he still had a strong bond with his father. However, each teleportation through a super teleportation circle took a lot of energy, and Wizard Hutton didn’t want Bernie to play around with it. Even if Wizard Hutton agreed, other dwarves wouldn’t agree. Each ignition required large amounts of Credit points, and it had not even been a long time since Bernie left his family. Therefore, Wizard Hutton wouldn’t waste it unless it was totally necessary. Still, Bernie had been bothering him non-stop. Ever since he found out Master Bennett was building a super teleportation circle and was set to complete on the day, he decided to bring Bernie along. Before Abel even knew, Bernie and Wizard Hutton were already planning to take advantage of his super teleportation circle. Still, he would not reject them, considering their closeness.

Chapter 1114 - Super Teleportation Chapter 1114: Super Teleportation “Master Bennett, can this super teleportation circle connect to the super teleportation circle of the dwarves in the Holy Continent?” Bernie said with his eyes sparkling. He could no longer hold himself back. “Bernie, you want to go home?” Abel smiled at the excited Bernie. “Of course, my father still doesn’t know I’ve become a wizard. I need to tell him this news personally!’ Bernie nodded and smiled. “My super teleportation circle is ready and it can connect to the dwarves. But have you thought about how you are going to come back” Abel smiled again. Bernie had no idea, so he turned to his teacher Wizard Hutton. “Don’t look at me. Your heart can’t be this unsettled as a wizard. You just left home not long ago. Did you know every super teleportation circle ignition cost 10,000 credit points. You are not going to get that many until you become an elite wizard!” Wizard Hutton shook his head. “Bernie, just help me bring something back and I’ll pay for your return!” Abel laughed when he saw Bernie’s face drop. “Master Bennett, I’ll borrow credit points from you in the future!” Bernie jumped up in excitement. In reality, 10,000 credit points were basically 10 years of pay for a normal elite wizard through missions and service in the Wizard Union. Since all wizards needed training resources and credit points were the most common exchange currency, saving up to 10,000 credit points was definitely not easy. The reason Abel had accumulated 150,000 credit points so easily was that he basically never needed to use them for training resources. He always preferred light gems. Abel transferred 10,000 credit points to Bernie and took out some elite Wizard training resources. Bernie had an eye for luxury. Although those resources were not uncommon in the Central Continent, they were extremely rare in the Holy Continent. After all, resources were the main reason there was no rank 18 wizard in the Holy Continent. “Master Bennett, who do you want me to give them to?” Bernie asked after Abel handed him a portal bag. He wasn’t sure if Abel wanted to give the resources to the Kingdom of St Ellis, his family, or the elves. “Bernie, are you really going back empty handed?” Abel gazed at Wizard Hutton and connected with Bernie through the power of the will so no one else could hear them. Bernie immediately understood Abel. Those resources were for the dwarves. Which made sense. After all, that teleportation circle belonged to Abel, and he could go back any time. So there was no need for Bernie to carry stuff for him. There was even a bottle of golden longevity potion for his father. Bernie was touched as he put away the portal back. Then, all of a sudden, he didn’t even know how to say thank you. The departure time was set for midnight. But, according to Wizard Hutton, each ignition from a super teleportation circle needed time to accumulate energy. However, Abel felt like Wizard Hutton and Bernie just wanted to stay for lunch and dinner, so they pushed back the departure. After lunch, Steward Myer and the servants began decorating the golden castle for the new year. All the visitors who came to see the legendary light beside the 5 professionals and their disciples staying for a meal had left by dinner time. It was almost the new year, and there were still 10 professionals eating at his place. Abel was speechless, but still, Steward Myer had to give them what they paid for with their light gems. Most of all, he was speechless when another wizard had leveled up as he was eating with Bernie. The other 4 professionals felt a little letdown, yet they still had their hopes up. After all, seeing a wizard leveled up after eating was much more impactful than hearing rumors. On the other hand, Abel was afraid of the hassle of his castle in the future if it kept helping wizards level up. “Master Bennett, can you give us dwarves a few more spots for meals?” Wizard Hutton’s eyes fired up as he lowered his voice. “Wizard Hutton, Bernie and you can come any day. As for the other dwarves… as you can see, everyone here are my friends. I don’t want to turn my castle into a restaurant!” Abel rejected him. Abel made a big effort to limit the spot to 10 people per meal. If he gave the dwarves more, he would be in big trouble. Wizard Hutton was also not expecting much. All he could hope for was Bernie speaking to Abel for him as his status in the dwarves grew. Bernie was not an elite wizard, so he could not intervene with the business of the wizards. He couldn’t even manage a mid-level department in the continent. “Magic circle spirit, send us to the super teleportation circle!’ Abel said after the meal. In 3 flashes, Abel, Bernie, and wizard Hutton vanished from the dining hall. “Master Bennett. I’m impressed, teleportation circles on the ground are a secret of the dwarves!” Wizard Hutton said helplessly. He already felt something strange during the teleportation. Since the ground of the golden castle was made out of gold and the special circle of the dwarves, they could ignite teleportation, defense, and speaker anywhere they wanted. This was how the dwarves went all out. However, the super teleportation circle was not built by the dwarves, yet Abel had already decoded their secret. Little did the dwarves know, Abel had a spirit specialized in magic circles to analyze any circles in the golden castle in detail and replicate them. Therefore, with enough resources, Abel could build another golden castle with his puppets. Although it might not be as artistic as the dwarves, its magic circles would be perfect. In fact, it might even be better since human error would be minimized. “Wizard Hutton, what’s done is done. Are you going to force me to take this place down?’ Abel smiled. “Master Bennett, I’m just joking with you!” Wizard Hutton quickly waved his hands. “Bernie, off you go!” Abel ended his conversation with Wizard Hutton and opened the door for Bernie. “Teacher, I’ll come back in a month!” Bernie gave his final bow. “Bernie, make sure you keep training. You are not young, you can’t waste a single day!” Wizard Hutton reminded. “Yes teacher!” Bernie replied and turned to Abel. “Master Bennet, I will say hello to your family!” Abel nodded. He did not tell Bernie that he had a contracted servant Bartoli in the Kingdom of St Ellis and that he could know about the condition of the holy continent any time he wanted. Bernie stepped into the main structure, and his face immediately sank as he looked down at the pattern. He was too excited to go home. He almost forgot about the trauma a super teleportation circle gave him when he first came to the Central Continent. But it was too late for regret. All he could do was to clench the resources in his hand and cheer himself up. “Magic circle spirit, ignite. The destination is the dwarves in the Holy Continent!” Abel said. “Master, teleportation beginning!” The magic circle spirit sounded. After a day of gathering mana, large amounts of energy gushed out from the circle towards Bernie. A strong dimensional energy wave lashed out, almost like an earthquake. Luckily both Abel and WIzard Hutton were law-defying wizards. So that energy wave didn’t do anything to them. Bernie sensed lightning flashing around him as a blinding beam of white light shot up towards the sky from the main building. It was almost like the air around him was being torn apart as dimensional force surrounded him and dragged him into another dimension. He felt violent vertigo and blacked out. Even a rank 4 wizard like himself could not withstand such impact. After all, a wizard would only start getting used to moving through dimensions once they mastered the move in a flash as an intermediate wizard. Therefore, Bernie would still have to suffer until he became an elite wizard. Bernie realized he was lying on a familiar bed by the time he woke up again. He immediately patted his waist and let out a breath of relief. The portal bag of resources Abel gave him was still there. It was a small move, but the servant dwarves immediately ran out. “Young Master Bernie is awake!” They called as they ran. Bernie shook his head. Those were the servants he had when he was in the Holy Continent, and soon he realized he was in his room in the Goff family. The dizziness began to fade, and he heard his father coming. “Bernie, you are awake!” Although Bernie was used to being away from home for business in the past, this time was the longest. If Abel had not built a super teleportation circle, and he had to wait until the day he became an elite wizard to accumulate credit points for a return, Old Goff might not even be alive by that point. “Bernie, tell me about the Central Continent!” Old Goff sat down and smiled. Afterward, Bernie went on with the details as Old Goff continued to smile. “Bernie, you are now a wizard. There’s no need to worry about the family. Just focus on your training in the Central Continent!” Although Old Goff was happy to see Bernie, he was still not happy about Bernie taking a break from his training. However, he was stunned when Bernie took out a portal bag. Inside it was enough resources for his family to cultivate a few rank 18 wizards. He couldn’t help but sigh. The best decision Bernie ever made was becoming friends with Abel.

Chapter 1115 - : Gathering Chapter 1115: Gathering It was the first day of the year, and it was surprising how many people came to see the legendary light. They all brought their New Years’ gift, which Steward Myer put in the inventory one by one. Just like always, Abel did not care and rested on his battle fort after breakfast. Soon, he would be on the way to an ancient sight with 3 legendary wizards. He had been preparing for a few days; even the fire tooth battle fort was stored in his holy portal bag. Once he was in danger, he would let the Fire Tooth out and jump into it. After all, its powerful defense and attack could guarantee his escape. He also had more than 5000 full recovery potions prepared. So as long as something didn’t kill him instantly, he would be ok. As a professional, the more powerful moves, the better. He gazed at the morning fog of the Ervo forest. It was not a cold morning, but the sun still hadn’t cleared out the area. Abel took a deep breath of fresh air. In moments of solitude like this, the nostalgia of his past in the Holy continent returned. If he did not promise the legendary wizards, he would be spending his time with his uncle Marshall in Harry castle. He knew about the condition of his family members through the soul of Bartoli. Just like always, his uncle Marshall was still living in Harry castle. The only thing different was that his uncle was now an elite knight. He no longer needed to become a head commander and get orc god blood to increase his lifespan. Abel could give him some water of life and turn him into a wizard. Then, with the support of his potion, aging would no longer be a problem. As a member of the Bennett family, his father, Duke Bennett, was the most powerful duke in the Kingdom of St Ellis. The dream of his family had come true. His brother Zack was an Earl, and he led a team of 10,000 knights. Still, passively understanding his family was the most Abel could do. He couldn’t wait for this mission to finish so he could return. Just like that, he sat alone in his fort thinking about his family as the golden castle was bustling with guests. The guests were all law-defying wizards, and they wanted their disciples to have more connections in the continent and see more of the world. Abel didn’t have a single enemy in the Central Continent, and every big organization was trying their best to maintain a good relationship with him. The new year was the best opportunity. That was why the castle was bustling even without any new year celebration party. 40 guests had arrived early in the morning, and 30 of them were already on the balcony. After all, the disciple of the powerful would be elite level at the least. There was an unspoken rule. Only elite-level professionals were allowed in the golden castle. Both the legendary light and the food were too advanced for low to intermediate-level professionals. Druid Gunter sat behind a table as he recorded the gifts with a rune pen. He had been here ever since the sun came up. He was the weakest of the 3 followers, so he was ordered to greet the guests. Most of the guests did not head to the balcony to see the legendary light immediately since most of them had already seen it more than once. Instead, they gathered around, gathering without an organizer. Since it was a good day, the golden castle had brought the red wine and grandmaster wine from the cellar. Those wines were the ones with only one combination, so they were not the best quality. But still, it was enough to make the guests glued to their glass. Of course, there was water spirit fruit juice for the druids as well. The druids looked at Abel’s followers with envy, especially Druid Gunter. Both Druid Poly and Druid Josephus were big druids, but Druid Gunter was only an elite druid, yet he had the chance to serve Master Bennett. To this day, even normal big druids would not have the chance to become Abel’s followers. Many big druids had come along since Abel’s water spirit fruit juice was good for druid training. If resources like this were taken out for the guests, Abel’s followers must have plenty. “Druid Gunter, are you drinking this everyday?” Big Druid Conrad was a royal big druid who regularly interacted with Druid Gunter, and he asked curiously. However, his question had attracted a few more druids near the hall, and they began chatting. “Druid Conrad, I don’t drink this water spirit fruit juice!” Druid Gunter shook his head, The druids around immediately let out a breath of relief. It seemed like being Master Bennett’s follower was not that great after all. “The one I drink is much better!” After a moment, Druid Gunter added in a slightly arrogant tone. Druid Conrad almost spilled his drink, and he immediately covered himself. His curiosity had gotten the best of him. “Druid Gunter, do you mind telling me how much resources you get each month? Don’t worry about it if you don’t want to say it!” He added casually. “I don’t mind at all. A natural breathing potion, some credit points, some healing potions, and the resources needed for a big druid!” Druid Gunter gave out a rough estimation. Of course, he did not mention the natural force gathered by a personal energy gathering circle in the golden castle. If he did, those druids would go crazy. Although the royal palace had a natural force gathering circle as well, they were shared by many big druids. Druid Gunter did not mention the natural breathing potion he obtained was a golden one as well. The effect of one could already last for a month, which meant Druid Gunter was enjoying its power constantly. As for healing potions, there could be none other than the light healing potions and the power potion. Still, just those things alone had made the druids’ jaw drop. They knew master Bennett was treating his followers well, but they still did not expect them to get this much. Just when Gunter Gunter was getting arrogant in the hall, a teleportation glow flashed, and 3 figures emerged. Suddenly, he froze. Those guests did not walk. Instead, they floated forward. There was only one type of being in the world who could do this, the legendaries. There were no weaklings in the hall, and the ones closest to the door immediately noticed something odd. All of a sudden, the bustling hall went silent. “What’s happening? Did master Bennett organize a party?” A female legendary Wizard named Doran laughed. She was curious why master Bennett would organize a party the day they were setting off. “The prestigious Legendaries, this is not a party. It’s just a little gathering amongst the friends of Master Bennett!” Big Druid Joseph quickly stepped up and bowed. “Little gathering!” Wizard Doran shook her head and added, “Where is master Bennett?” “Please wait, I’ll let master Bennett know!” Big Druid Josephus quickly bowed. Abel immediately got a message through the research spirit. He was not expecting the legendaries to come this early. “Legendary Wizard Luke, Legendary Wizard Galon, and Ms Legendary Wizard Doran, happy new year. Welcome to the golden castle!” Abel appeared in the hall with a flash and bowed. “Master Bennett. Happy new year, this is Wizard Doran!” Wizard Dolan gave Abel a hug with a smile and introduced her. This gesture almost made everyone in the hall faint. A hug was an extremely close way of greeting wizards. They would only do it to their closest friends. Wizard Dolan had done so intentionally. Abel had saved his life, so he wanted everyone to know how close they were. If anyone wanted to mess with Abel, they had to consider him first. “Master Bennett, we agreed that we have to try the food in your castle!” Wizard Galon stepped up with a smile as well. “Wizard Galon, my little restaurant is prepared. If the three of you are ready, we can head towards it now!” Abel smiled and bowed. “Let’s go. Lets not make everyone uncomfortable!” Wizard Dolan laughed. Afterward, Abel led the 3 legends out of the hall, and the atmosphere relaxed once again. Although the legendary wizards did not unleash their power, their presence alone was enough to make everyone feel stressed. The chatter erupted once the legendary wizards left. Many professionals never even saw a legendary wizard in their life. What happened that day was definitely something to remember. The news in the hall quickly spread to the platform, and many quickly returned, hoping the legendary wizards would show up again. As time went on, this news quickly spread to each organization and attracted many more professionals. One was for the juice and wine. Another was for the legendary wizards. Soon, more than 200 professionals were crowded around the golden castle.

Chapter 1116 - Small Team Of Legendaries Chapter 1116: Small Team of Legendaries There was a little dining room in the golden castle, and it was rarely used. Since there were not many chefs around, using it alongside the main dining hall was not efficient. However, how could Abel make the 3 legendary wizards dine with the others? As you all know, the main dining hall was filled with guests for 3 meals of the day and the legend would destroy the atmosphere. Even if Abel didn’t care about treating the legendary wizard in special ways, he would need to give his guests what they paid for with their gems. Steward Myer personally introduced the dishes in the small dining room. “Prestigious Legendaries, do you want any juice? I don’t drink wine, so I won’t be joining you!” Abel smiled as Steward Myer poured him a glass of juice. “Master Bennett, I heard your wine and food are the best in the world. So how come you don’t drink?” Wizard Dolan waved his hand and laughed. Steward Myer opened a bottle of red wine with 2 combinations. Its texture and taste had a strong impact on the soul, which was truly unlike anything. “Master Bennett, I’ll have a glass of wine as well!” Wizard Galon smiled. Steward Myer stepped up and poured a glass, and the aroma immediately made Wizard Galon’s eyes sparkle. “Are you guys stupid? You see master Bennett is drinking juice. Do you think the juice is ordinary stuff?’ Wizard Doran laughed. Afterward, the legendaries kept quiet as they began to enjoy the food, wine, and juice. For someone who never tasted the rabbit essence before, its impact on the soul would be the strongest, and the legendary wizards would not waste any time. They had to give the food their full concentration. Abel already had breakfast, so he was there for company. But after seeing the look of the legendary wizards, he no longer wanted to interrupt them. As he sat by the side, Wizard Dolan suddenly broke the silence. “Master Bennett, your food really is the best, and your wine is good for my training. It seems like I will need to come here more often!’ He looked at the empty plates in front of him and laughed. “Wizard Dolan, the golden castle welcomes you!” After all, a legendary friend was an extra layer of defense. “Master Bennett, if Dolan can come, I’ll come along as well!” Wizard Galon!” Smiled. “No problem. You can come any time, this little dining room will open specifically for you !” Abel smiled. “Maser Bennett. Thank you. I was not expecting your juice to be just as good as your lotion and conditioners!” Wizard Doran gave out a gentle smile. Abel was caught off guard. Wizard Doran had been using his lotions and conditioners. He gazed at Wizard Doran and noticed she looked like a 30-year-old noblewoman. Her skin was so smooth. There was no doubt she used Abel’s lotion. He then gazed at her hair, and each strand was thick and healthy. “Master Bennett. What did you see?” Wizard Doran laughed. She then added, ” the Wizard Union has been sending me your potions and they’ve become a part of my life now!” “Wizard Doran, if you want. I can send some more to the wizard union for you!” Abel was not stingy for low-ranking potions like that. He could make a big bucket each time. Of course, the most important component was the Horadric cube. The two ingredients it created were what made the potions so effective on females. Even a powerful woman like WIzard Doran could resist. “Master Bennett, thank you!” Wizard Doran said in excitement. Although the wizard union could get those potions with no problem, they still had to trade with the potion maker union. Considering how beloved those potions were among female elves, both the potion maker union and the Wizard Union were stressed every time the wizard union wanted to get some. After all, there was only a set amount of supply Abel would give out each month, so more for some meant less for some. However, if Abel was about to make more for Wizard Doran, the situation would be completely different. “Ok, let’s go to see the legendary light and head out!” WIzard Dolan said. “Yeah, Wizard Larkin had been nudging us to see his victory against a legendary knight!” Wizard Doran nodded. The 3 legendary wizards stepped on the teleportation circle and appeared in an area outside. “Master Bennett, let me bring you along!” Wizard Dolan gently placed him on Abel’s shoulder and smiled. “Thank you!” Abel knew Wizard Dolan was about to fly, and he couldn’t help himself. Afterward, Abel sensed strange energy from his shoulder that wrapped around his body. Before he knew it, his feet had left the ground. Soon, they reached the height of the trees, and they flashed forward towards the legendary light. “That’s the result of thousands of years of training!” Wizard Galon sighed. Even legendary knights were their enemies. They were legendaries nevertheless. There were many professions in the Central continent, but true legendaries were extremely rare, let alone a little place like the Holy Kingdom. “Master Bennett, how did you cut off his arm?” Wizard Dolan asked curiously. He heard about the fight that day and knew the Legendary knight was already retreating by the time Wizard Larkin and Wizard Luke arrived. It was not a good look for Wizard Dolan to ask such a question, but he had done so because he considered Abel as his true friend. “I’m a master alchemist as well as a master potion maker. I can make a mana cannon as long as i have enough resources. I used 4 top level gems to make a blow and took an arm from that legendary knight!” Abel was not planning to lie. He would be fine as long as he didn’t say he found a way to make a mana cannon that would not fall apart after a single-use. Therefore, Abel was careful with his words. However, he really did make the mana cannon himself. But he avoided talking about the process of using it. He didn’t want to lie. Those legends might notice if he did. “You sacrificed a mana cannon and 4 top level gems for a legendary arm! luckily Larkin and luckily Luke had gotten a great deal with their effort! ” Wizard Dolan laughed and clapped hands. Abel couldn’t help but feel a little awkward hearing that last sentence. Taking down a legendary would go down in history for thousands of years. Even Wizard Dolan couldn’t help but be jealous of Wizard Luke and Wizard Larkin. After all, finding an injured legendary knight in the heart of the Central Continent might never happen again. “The legendary light really is beautiful. I’ll make one even if i kill myself!” Wizard Doran was deeply drawn. Abel was caught off guard by WIzard Doran’s speaking style, but it seemed like the other legendary wizards were used to it. “Doran, just buy some beauty potions from Master Bennett and you’ll be beautiful. There’s no need to talk about dying all the time!” Wizard Galon smiled. “Galon, don’t say that!” Wizard Doran coughed. She then smiled at Abel. “I know Master Bennett has a potion with the power to revive youth. But I was planning to ask you before I’ve done my fair share of help in this mission!” As a prestigious powerful wizard, she could get lotions and conditioners easily even if Abel didn’t give her, but the beauty potion was different. Everyone who ever got one would use it immediately, and selling them was completely unheard of. The beauty potion was an extremely valuable potion due to how rare its main ingredient was, the beauty grass. On top of that, each bottle had to be made when the grass was freshly plucked. “Wizard Doran, that’s no problem. Here’s a bottle for my safety!” Abel took out a golden beauty potion and handed it forward with a smile. “Master Bennett, I’ll take it as a gift then. We already had it planned, we are not going to let anything happen to you even if this mission fails!” Wizard Doran smiled as she held the beauty potion in her hand. She would not treat it the beauty potion Abel gave her as an exchange for her protection. Protecting Abel on this mission was her duty anyway. The fact that she accepted the beauty potion meant that she now owed one to Abel. For Abel, a bond like this with a bottle of beauty potion was definitely a great deal. Wizard Doran did not put away the beauty potion immediately. Instead, she held the crystal glass in her hand and looked at its shimmering golden liquid under the sparkle of the legendary light. It was mystical. Finally, she could no longer resist the temptation. She twisted open the bottle and poured it into her mouth. As the liquid ran down her throat, sparkles emerged from her body, and her skin began to glow. Her youth was reviving. Although legendary wizards had a natural ability to revive their youth, they could not go back to the time before becoming official wizards. Considering the resources in the Central Continent, most people can become an official wizards by around 30 years old. As far as Abel could tell, a legendary wizard’s appearance had nothing to do with their actual age. All the ones he saw were around 30 to 40 years old. Wizard Doran formed a crystal with her hand and began to examine her new look. She was extremely happy, and she turned to Abel with gratitude.

Chapter 1117 - Ancient Submarine Chapter 1117: Ancient Submarine After seeing the legendary light, the 3 legendary wizards returned to the golden castle and entered the teleportation room in the dungeon. Since he didn’t know where they were going, he allowed Wizard Dolan permission to select in the teleportation circle. Through the power of the will, Abel sensed Wizard Dolan selecting a nameless teleportation circle with a number as a label. “Master Bennett, the Wizard Union has some special teleportation with numbers as labels, and most members of the union can not use it!” Wizard Dolan smiled and explained. In a flash of white light, the 4 vanished from the spot. By the time he could see again, Abel realized he was on an island, a small island without trees. Instead, there were rocks everywhere with little plants poking out of them from time to time. Below him was a giant teleportation circle, which he was surprised that something like this was built on an island. They were on the island’s highest point, but all he could see was the endless water surrounding them. “Master Bennett, this is point 56!” Wizard Dolan smiled. “Is this ancient sight in the ocean?’ Abel asked in confusion. Since the legendary wizards did not say much about the sight they were exploring, Abel did not ask too much as well. He always thought it was in some dangerous place on the continent, but it was actually in the ocean. “Yes, point 56 is just a transit. We need to complete the following journey by flying!” Wizard Dolan nodded. “Sir, Ma’am!” Suddenly, a cloaked wizard stepped out from the side and bowed. “We’ll transit here. Thanks for your good work!” Wizard Dolan smiled. Abel saw an extremely happy face emerge from that Wizard. Why was there was an elite wizard in the middle of nowhere? “Just get back to work!” Wizard Dolan waved his hand, and that wizard returned to his hidden spot. There were barrier circles throughout the entire island. Maybe it was for safety, and the hidden spot of the wizard had a more powerful barrier circle. “Master Bennett, we are 10,000 miles into the ocean and we are heading into unexplored territory with the most powerful ocean beasts!” Wizard Dolan pointed forward and lowered his voice. “Wizard Dolan, what are the point of these points?” Abel asked. “Master Bennett, although the territories 10,000 miles out in the ocean are guarded by the dragons, their numbers are way too small to make sure everything is perfect. There are legendary level sea monsters further out in the ocean, and even more powerful ones. Therefore, the wizard union built some islands 10,000 miles out so we’ll know if a powerful sea monster was approaching!” Wizard Dolan lowered his voice. Abel couldn’t help but respect that elite wizard. There was not a single person around. He was basically isolated from the world. Also, the wizards guarding these points were in constant danger. Even though barrier circles were powerful, there was no guarantee that powerful spiritual beasts wouldn’t notice it. “Master Bennett, we’ll take you for a ride one by one. We can not hide our energy when we move in a flash, and that can provoke some sea monsters!’ Wizard Dolan added. Last time, he basically murdered his way forward when discovering the ancient sight. He was lucky that he didn’t run into any powerful ones on his way, but he was attacked by a legendary level poison sea monster on his way back. If Abel didn’t treat him with a poison antidote, he would be the first legendary wizard to die in the past 1000 years. “Wizard Dolan, is flying the only way?” Abel knew how scary sea monsters could be and he was shocked. Even the sea monsters within the dragon’s territory were scary, let alone whatever that was beyond. “Yeah, using a boat is even more dangerous!” Wizard Dolan said helplessly, “Wizard Dolan, if you don’t mind about speed, I have a way of reaching the depth of the ocean!” Abel thought for a moment and said. “Oh, tell us about it!” Wizard Dolan was caught off guard as he asked in excitement. Wizard Galon and Wizard Doran were also stunned. After all, the most dangerous mission was to explore the unexplored ocean. Abel arrived at the side of the water and took out a strange-looking boat. It was an ancient submarine he found in the Holy Continent’s titan temple. It belonged to an ancient dwarf headmaster. It was made with a special material similar to the surface of the battle forts, but it did not have a metallic feel. In fact, it looked wooden, and Abel always had a strange feeling about it. This submarine had been in his holy portal bag for a long time. He never used it, and he rarely even looked into it. He always stayed on land, and he had the more powerful fire tooth to cross the ocean, so he never had to go into the water. However, this thing could come in handy for the wizards since he didn’t want to expose his fire tooth. “Oh, it’s a little ancient ship. All 4 of us must be very cramped inside it!” Wizard Doran complained. Which made sense. She was a female. It would be awkward to cramp in a small space with 3 men for days. “Wizard Doran, please take a look inside first!” Abel bowed. Wizard Doran jumped on the submarine, and it jangled a little in the water. It still felt small, but she soon realized something different. There was an entrance in the middle of the boat that led to the inside of the boat. She stepped down and entered a 20 square meters hall with 6 wooden doors around. She opened one of them and realized it was a private room equipped with day-to-day essentials. Although it was not luxurious, it was enough for a comfortable living. Wizard Dolan and Wizard Galon also stepped in, and they were stunned. “This is not bad!” Wizard Dolan gasped. Abel was the last one to enter, but it was only his second time here. “Everyone, this is an ancient submarine. It can go underwater with the ancient energy hidden ability. Normal sea monsters shouldn’t be able to notice it!” Abel smiled. “Master Bennett, here’s a map of the ocean. We will save a lot of hassle if this thing really can hide our energy in the ocean!” Wizard Dolan took out a map and smiled. “Amazing! Each of you please pick a room and we will be on our way!” Abel pointed at the doors and said. He then pushed open a door in the front of the hall. It was the captain’s room. Although he never used this ancient submarine before, the dead dwarf headmaster left over an operation guide. Abel focused his power of the will on the operation circle, but he suddenly stopped. According to the documents, all he needed was to focus his power on the operation circle, and he could control the submarine to do all kinds of motions. The condition outside would be illustrated on a wall, so the person in operation didn’t need to reach their power of the will outside and risk getting exposed. With the knowledge of the ancient dwarf headmaster, Abel’s understanding of ancient sights might be even greater than the current dwarves. Although the dwarves were still number one when it came to structures and how to apply them to new forms of technology, Abel’s power lies within the amounts of secrets he found out. Take the battle forts, for example. The dwarves had no idea what to do with them, but they were the most powerful defense for Abel. Abel expanded his power of will and realized there was a barrier to this captain’s room. No one would be able to know what he was doing unless they pushed open the door. “Commander spirit, scan the ancient submarine and see if it is hiding anything!” Abel said in command. Of course, no one was greater than the most powerful spirit of ancient times when it came to an understanding of an ancient submarine. “Headmaster, please wait!” The commander spirit replied. Afterward, strange energy sifted out of the captain’s room. “Headmaster, operation room discovered. Do you want to open it?” The commander spirit replied in no time. “Open immediately!” Abel called. Suddenly, a glowing tunnel leading downward emerged from the captain’s room. Abel did not sense any danger, so he walked down and arrived at the bottom of the submarine. There was a glowing spirit without an owner. Abel speculated the dwarf headmaster owned this spirit, and just like all spirits, it needed gems as support. When a spirit loses its owner, it would go into a deep sleep. Besides the spirit was an empty energy box. Since Abel was experienced, he took out some top-level gems from his holy portal bag and dumped them in. It was a huge budget. Even the ancients would not waste gems like this. “Commander spirit, give me the highest authority in for this spirit!” Abel commanded. A beam then shot out from his headmaster badge, and his power of the will entered the spirit. Soon, the spirit was revived, and it began to glow in green. Abel sensed the details of the spirit. It was called the submarine spirit, and this ancient submarine was made exploring resources in the most dangerous ocean. “Master, Hello, the submarine spirit is at your service!” A robotic sound emerged. “Submarine spirit, tell me about the ability of this submarine!’ Abel really wanted to know how many secrets it had. “Master, the submarine does not have any weapons since it was made for silent operation. It can become invisible, block out sounds, go under deep water, and speed up using large amounts of energy. You can control the details on the captain room’s operation circle!” The submarine spirit explained. Abel was disappointed. It seemed like this thing was not a killing machine like the Fire Tooth. He was not expecting this submarine was for exploration and exploration only. Every ability it had was to do with exploring and escaping. Still, it was a good start. If he did not have the submarine spirit, his power of the will would be locked to the operation circle during the entire journey.

Chapter 1118 - Sail Chapter 1118: Sail Abel shut off the underground passage after returning to the captain’s room and connected to the operation circle where there was the consciousness of the submarine spirit. “Submarine spirit, put the submarine on autopilot!” He commanded “Master, please select a destination!” a familiar map appeared on the operation circle. Abel took out the map Wizard Dolan gave him for comparison. Just as expected, the rough shape of the map did not change, but the details were a little outdated. “Submarine spirit, update the map!” Abel placed the map he obtained in the operation circle. In a flash of white light, the submarine spirit scanned Abel’s map, and its map was updated. “Master, the map you provided is not detailed enough. Do you want me to automatically update as i go?” The submarine spirit asked. “Yes!” Abel replied. Since this ancient submarine was made for traveling long distances, it would prefer to save as much energy as it could. “Master. Destination confirmed. Do you want me to put the sub on autopilot?” The submarine spirit asked again. “Yes!” After Abel’s command, the submarine began to change and became a fully enclosed oval. It began to sink in silence and merged in one with the ocean like a current. Abel did not dwell in the captain’s room. Instead, he returned to the hall and saw Wizard Dolan sitting alone. “Wizard Dolan, why don’t you have a rest?’ Abel smiled and greeted. “I’m worried!” Wizard Dolan said. “Submarine spirit, show the condition outside in the hall!” Abel knew this submarine had this ability, and he was not planning to hide it. “Yes master!” Suddenly, the walls became see-through. Wizard Dolan was stunned. Although he could fly, the ocean was always like a forbidden place to him. “Master Bennett, let’s have a cheer for this submarine!” He smiled. Abel knew what Wizard Dolan was suggesting, so he took out a red wine with 2 combinations. Wizard Dolan took out a crystal glass from his portal bag and twisted the wine open, admiring the scenery outside. A big school of silverfish swam past without noticing them. Suddenly, a bigger silverfish speeded forward and swallowed up 10 fish from the school. This took place right in front of Abel and Wizard Dolan as though the submarine was a part of the water. “The ocean is full of murder!” Wizard Dolan sighed. The legendary light he saw today left an impact on him. After all, it was the death of a legend. But, it would leave an impact on every professional, more or less. He was getting too emotional, so he took another sip of the wine. He then sensed the speed of the submarine. Although it was not as fast as flying, it was faster than any boat they had been on. “Master Bennett. We should arrive in 5 days, right?’ Wizard Dolan asked, but he was confident in his calculations. “Yes, if everything goes smoothly!” Abel was the one who set the autopilot, so he knew. “I’m very confident on this thing!” Wizard Dolan retracted his power of will and laughed. A moment ago, he reached his power of the will outside the submarine and realized it was surrounded by a strange energy that allowed it almost to become one with the water. If he weren’t inside, he wouldn’t have been able to notice it. He was happy since no one would be able to spot it if even a legendary couldn’t. Although, it was a little slow. It was all worth it for safety. He didn’t want to fight a powerful sea monster since they had a disadvantage in the ocean. Even if they injured a sea monster, the sea monster could go into hiding underwater and attack them again. A sea monster of their rank could also fly, so there was not much they could do. “Dolan, are you enjoying yourself?” Wizard Galon stepped out of his room and saw the scenery. He stopped beside Wizard Dolan and took out a crystal glass as well. Afterward, he poured himself a glass. “Master Bennett. Just this wine alone is making the journey worth it!” He took a big sip and laughed. “Wizard Galon, is that all you want? I have some food prepared as well. It seems like I no longer need to take it out!” Abel smiled. “Haha, seems like we’ll have a good time during this 5 day journey!” Wizard Dolan laughed after he heard about Abel’s food. Abel had a lot prepared for this journey. First, there was a lot of food wrapped in ice elements in his holy portal bag. All he needed was to heat them with fire elements, and they were ready to eat. “Amazing!”Wizard Doran suddenly gasped as she stepped out of her room. “Master Bennett, can the walls in my room do this as well?” She immediately followed. “Of course!” Abel smiled and added, “Submarine spirit, open reflection in the rooms. This way, the 3 legendary wizards no longer needed to go to the hall to see outside. “Master Bennett. Can you give me something other than wine?” WIzard Doran was about to return to her room, but he saw the glasses on the 2 other legendary wizards’ hands. Abel took out a water spirit fruit juice with 2 combinations and threw it forward. Wizard Doran scanned with her power of the will, and it was put away in her portal bag. She then gave a gentle bow and returned to her room. After all, what was better than enjoying the wonders of the ocean alone with a glass of water spirit fruit juice? The first day passed by smoothly. Their interest in the ocean scenery gradually died down. They were all very timely with their meals, and they would knock on Abel’s captain room if he forgot. On the second day, the submarine passed by a glowing seaweed during lunch. Its beauty was beyond this world. As Abel kept admiring as he ate, Wizard Dolan suddenly struck him with a stand of power of the will. “Be careful, don’t make a sound!” Abel felt his heart drop and looked around. To his surprise, there was a giant scorpion-like creature resting within the glowing seaweed. It had a layer of silvery-white armor, making it looked like a jade statue from afar. Abel couldn’t help but admire its beauty, but at the same time, he sensed a deep horror from his heart. This thing was a big danger, a bigger danger than any holy knight. He turned to the 3 legendary wizards, and they were looking extremely serious. The ancient submarine was on autopilot all this time, and it was heading straight toward the silver scorpion. Abel didn’t move, but he knew he would be ok. The silver scorpion shouldn’t be able to notice him through the submarine’s invisibility. Still, the horror it gave him was surreal even when it was just lying down. At that moment, the side of the submarine brushed against the side of the silver scorpion. Suddenly, it made a quick jig with its tail underwater. Luckily it was just stretching, and it laid back down again. It did not notice them. “I hate poisonous sea monsters!” Wizard Dolan let out a big breath of relief after they passed by. Last time he almost lost his little life in the mouth of one of them, and he was traumatized ever since. The distance between him and that sea monster just then was even closer than the one that poisoned him. “Dolan, don’t worry. Master Bennett will be here to give you an antidote!” But, of course, wizard Galon wouldn’t let such a good opportunity to make fun of Wizard Dolan slide. “Master Bennett, we are lucky to have this submarine. If we were flying, that sea monster would have definitely attacked us. Those speedy ones are especially hard to deal with!” Wizard Doran added. For such a powerful sea monster, it would definitely notice the energy of 3 legendary wizards. Sea monsters were the masters of their territory, so stepping foot in it was provoking them. The legendary wizards needed to move in a flash while flying, so their energy was basically like shining stars in the night. A legendary wizard might be able to flash away if the sea monster was slow. But seeing the speed of that silver scorpion, even legendary wizards would be afraid. Moving in a flash took time, and it would leave them defenseless. Although there were gears for assistance, every wizard had a limit. They could go neck to neck with a speedy sea monster. On top of that, they were in the ocean. Sea monsters had the ability to control water and freeze their escaping prey. The 3 legendary wizards had ways of dealing with that silver scorpion, but a battle like that would not be worth it. There was no way they could take a full victory since it was impossible for them to chase a sea monster underwater. They ran into another legendary sea monster on the third day, and it also did not notice the ancient submarine. When Abel returned from his meditation on the fourth day, he heard Wizard Dolan talking about another legendary sea monster in the hall. Wizard Dolan was not expecting to see this many legendary sea monsters. Instead, he wondered if his exploration last time had attracted them.

Chapter 1119 - Involved Chapter 1119: Involved It was the fifth day, and Abel sat in the hall with the 3 legendary wizards. The ocean was especially violent on that day; even the ancient submarine was becoming unstable. Currents lashed forward. The ocean was almost like a piece of hell. If Abel were in a normal submarine, it would have already been destroyed. However, Abel and the wizards did not care about the weather because they sensed something even more dangerous. 2 powerful energies were mangling each other. “Master Bennett, please stop the submarine!” Wizard Dolan said with a serious tone. The ancient submarine slowly came to a halt after another 10 meters. “Wizard Dolan, what did you sense?” Abel saw the serious look on the wizards’ faces and asked. “We are in big trouble. 2 powerful sea monsters are fighting each other. Our submarine will be destroyed if we keep moving forward!” Wizard Dolan replied. “We still have half a day to go!” Wizard Galon said in irritation. “Galon, your luck has been very good until this point. We will be in even more trouble if we fly!” Wizard Doran interrupted. No one in the submarine would dare to reach out their power of will. But, if they did, those 2 powerful sea monsters would be able to notice them. After all, an intruder of a fight would be killed first. “Master Bennett, is your dragon druid this strong?” Wizard Doran suddenly turned to Abel and smiled. Abel was caught off guard. He couldn’t figure out what she was saying all of a sudden. “Normal big druids would already be suppressed under this energy!” Wizard Doran smiled. The energy unleashed by those sea monsters was scary, but Abel had the world stone and his blue dragon identity. The high elves also cleansed his soul of the Dark World so that he could withstand it. Wizard Dolan and Wizard Galon also turned their heads and surprised at how powerful Abel was. Even they had a hard time withstanding the energy. Even legendary wizards didn’t want to get too close. It was the reason why Wizard Dolan stopped the submarine. The big races ruled most Continents of the world, but the ocean was always forbidden ground due to how vast it was, and the power its beasts possessed was far greater than any professionals on land. On top of the harsh conditions of the ocean, sea monsters were the masters of their territory. “Thank you!” Abel did not want to say much about his ability, so he just brushed it off. The 3 legendary wizards also did not say too much. After all, Abel had a contract with the tree of life and had a special relationship with the goddess of the moon. “Quick, retreat!” Wizard Dolan suddenly called. Abel also knew something was strong, and it seemed like the battle was heading their way. He did not even have time to connect to the submarine spirit as he directly connected his power of the will to the operation circle to back up. At the same time, he saw the 2 sea monsters battling. Their bodies were humongous, which was expected considering their rank. The ocean was full of food and resources. So a sea monster with a powerful bloodline could easily grow, especially without the intervention of professionals. Those sea monsters were more than 50 meters long, at least a few times bigger than the most powerful spiritual beasts on land. One was a squid with countless tentacles, and the other was a giant sea turtle. The former was nimble, and the latter had a hard shell for protection. The squid lashed out with one of its tentacles, and a strike of lightning blasted on the hard shell of the sea turtle. However, the sea turtle was clearly much faster than the squid. Its shell was almost like a magic circle, with complicated patterns of golden lines running throughout. A golden glow flashed when the lightning struck, and it was completely defused. The attack of the sea turtle was simple. Speeding forward with this head in its shell. Abel could see a pair of sharp teeth from the retracted head of the turtle. It was definitely not a kind-hearted being. The giant squid would step back with every strike. It seemed like it didn’t want to get too close to the sea turtle. Still, it was a 50 meters tall super beast. Each strike it made caused a vicious current in the ocean. It was why the conditions were so harsh earlier. Still, the sea monsters were not approaching them that quickly as they fought. “Weird, those 2 sea monsters should have their own territory. Why are they fighting?” Wizard Galon said curiously. “I know right? Powerful sea monsters don’t normally get near each other. The ocean has more than enough space!” Wizard Dolan also added. The ocean had seemingly endless amounts of resources. They had been traveling for 5 days, but the ground they covered was almost unnoticeable considering the overall size of the ocean. Yet, they ran into 6 or 7 legendary sea monsters already, which was very strange. “Are we entering a sea monster gathering ground?” Wizard Dolan gasped. Not just normal sea monsters, but legendary ones. Considering how many they came across in just a few days, there should be more around. All legendaries could fly, and the wizards would still have a speed advantage with their flashes, but the lighting elements of that squid had the ability to transfer through water which made flashing much harder. The wizards just got a taste of it, and they knew it would be tough for them to come out alive if they were to face the thing head-on. As the wizards were chatting amongst themselves, the giant sea turtle suddenly gave out a big roar, and a golden beam shot out from its shell towards all directions and formed a circular blast. All water around it blasted outward and immediately formed a dome. The target of the blast was the squid. However, its giant body quickly flashed and teleported a kilometer away. The wizards were stunned. This was basically moving in a flash. This meant they would lose all advantages if they were to face the thing. The squid had made its escape, but the submarine was not as lucky. It was not fast enough to escape the golden blast. Soon, Abel and the wizards heard some cracking sound, and the ancient submarine was sent flying outward like an arrow. The invisible shield of the ancient submarine immediately faded, and many magic circles on its surface were damaged with countless cracks. With one more hit, this ancient technology would cease to exist from the face of the earth. However, this did not leave Abel and the wizards any better off. With the energy hidden ability gone, they were completely exposed to the sea monsters. Just when the sea monsters were about to strike each other again, they suddenly turned towards the ancient submarine. “Master Bennett, stay here. We’ll lure the sea monsters away!” Wizard Dolan nodded to the others and said. It was the best choice they had, luring the monsters away so that Abel could minimize his chance of coming in contact with them. The legendaries were not confident that they could escape with Abel alongside them, so it was best for Abel to stay away to maintain his safety. Abel was only a rank 21 druid. His energy would not attract the monsters as much as the 3 legendary wizards’ The 3 legendary wizards had worked with each other for a long time, and they knew exactly what to do with a single gaze. They flashed simultaneously and fully unleashed their power as they flew straight out of the water. Afterward, they attacked as they kept flashing. Of course, Abel did not stay still as well. Instead, he hid his energy with his transformation necklace. Since the necklace was a work by the goddess of the moon, even the sea monsters could not sense Abel’s life force in the submarine. Since the magic circles were badly damaged, he could no longer see outside from the walls. Still, Abel was not planning to use his power of will. Instead, he could only rely on his intuition. Once he sensed a threat, he would take out the Fire tooth. 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds…. Each second felt like an eternity, but he didn’t feel any danger even after 10 seconds. So the wizards must have successfully lured the sea monsters away. The attacks of the sea monsters were beyond anything he could imagine. They were far more powerful even compared to legendary wizards. All he could hope for was that the legendary wizards could rely on their speed and dodge their attacks. Abel had no business for a fight of this level. He could imagine how he might end up just by looking at the ancient submarine.

Chapter 1120 - Sneaky Gain Chapter 1120: Sneaky Gain Abel turned to the walls in the hall. They were filled with cracks. It was almost like the entire submarine was going to break down with one more blow. He would not use his power of the will without any protection, so he could only examine the damage with his eyes. What he worried about the most was the submarine spirit. There was no way of connecting with it without using his power of the will. Abel’s heart began to race. Then, when he was about to abandon the submarine, he saw glowing white sparkles of energy begin to run through the walls. “Can this ancient submarine regenerate itself?” Abel thought. Since the battle forts could so, this ancient submarine should be able to as well. The recovery was quick. Maybe it was the special attribute of ancient materials. Repairing was easy as long as they had enough energy, but of course, that was only if the spirit was not damaged. Soon, the walls began to reflect the condition outside again, and Abel knew the submarine had fully recovered. “Submarine spirit, report the damage!’ Abel asked. “Master, the protection circle was fully damaged. It is now repaired with 5 top level gems. 90% of the outer shell was damaged. It is now repaired with 10 top level gems. An extra 20 top level gems were used up to repair supporting circles!” 35 top-level gems were taken from Abel. After all, the ancient submarine took a direct strike from that sea turtle head. Abel looked around in the hall. He didn’t know if those 2 sea monsters had been lured away or not, so he would not let the submarine spirit scan the ocean. He could only ignite his world stone ability and not let a single thing escape his sight. Suddenly, a rock sparkled in front of him, which would definitely be missed without the world stone’s ability. Something was odd about the spark. “Is that treasure? The treasure those 2 sea monsters were fighting for?” Abel thought. After all, there was no way 2 powerful sea monsters would not notice a treasure below them. Suddenly, Abel’s heart was fired up. He read many things about sea treasures. Almost everything on land was occupied by the big races, but the ocean still had endless resources. Abel carefully looked around. The sea monsters were nowhere to be seen. He slowly directed the submarine with his power of the will to the spark and saw a skull size crystal with lightning sparks running through it. He was about to pick it up, and the Fire Tooth was ready if he failed. The Fire Tooth was just big enough to wrap around the submarine. It could then directly become invisible and fly towards the sky. Even if that failed, he could go into the Dark World with Fire Tooth as protection. For something 2 powerful sea monsters were fighting for, a little bit of risk was worth it. A spell pattern emerged from his hand, and he snatched towards the crystal with telekinesis. But suddenly, he was blocked by a golden shield. He quickly looked around, and luckily the sea monsters had not returned. A fight between 2 powerful sea monsters had scared away most other sea monsters around, so this part of the ocean was actually a very safe place for the time being. Since the telekinesis did not work, Abel decided to let out Frankenstein to break the shield. Frankenstein reached his metal hand forward. Its hand was powerful, it could break the defense of a mad knight with just one squeeze, and it was his favorite move. However, not against the golden shield. Frankenstein kept squeezing, and it almost did nothing. Afterward, Frankenstein cast an ice pole, which was even more powerful underwater. Still, it was blasted apart as soon as it made contact with the gold shield. Frankenstein was failing. Abel felt his heart racing again. The sea monster might return at any moment. At the same time, he finally realized why those 2 sea monsters were so willing to abandon this treasure to chase after the wizards. So the defense of this golden shield was basically on par with the sea turtle. He put Frankenstein away and summed Doff the Beamon. Doff was immediately bothered by the water, but its battle instinct still propelled it to strike forward with its ancient totem. A scary shockwave was sent throughout the ocean. With its 200% physical power, it caused a deadly blast. The golden shield began to shake. It seemed like it could take another strike, but as a strand of holy energy reached out from the ancient totem, the golden shield immediately turned into sparkles and scattered in the water. The totem continued down and stopped a hair away from the crystal. It was the power of Doff’s mastery of the ancient totem through club technique. Abel didn’t know, but this ancient Totem was actually much more than it seemed. It was a holy object with the ability to absorb faith. If someone had successfully counteracted a strike from it, it would unleash the power of a god. Doff never ran into any true opponent ever since Abel took the Barbarians as followers, so this true power of the ancient totem was always hidden from it. With such power, even legendary professionals would have a hard time blocking it. Since Doff was no mysterious figure in a hood, having this hidden ability could maximize its success rate of landing a strike on someone. He put Doff back in the monster ring and finally snatched the crystal with another telekinesis. He did not have time to take a look at it as he hurried to his designated ancient sight. Wizard Dolan and Wizard Galon teamed up against the giant squid since its fighting style put the wizards at a disadvantage. But, how could they give the lady a harder job? So Wizard Doran was left to face the giant sea turtle. The lightning elements flashed on the giant squid, and it appeared right in front of Wizard Dolan and Wizard Galon with its tentacle swiping forward. It was so fast it was almost hard to see, but the legendary wizards were experienced and saw it coming. Wizard Dolan wrapped Wizard Galon in his power of the will and ignited a flash away. The giant squid immediately followed and flashed as well. The teleportation of the squid was even faster than the flashes of the wizards. Moreover, since it was a natural ability, it didn’t need to draw out a spell pattern like the wizards. – However, just when it was about to strike again, Wizard Galon took a turn and ignited his own move in a flash, carrying Wizard Dolan away. The giant squid missed again. And the wizards continued to take turns flashing away. This way, there was no delay in their movements. The giant squid was furious. Those wizards were mocking it. But still, it was hopeless if it wanted to strike down 2 legendary wizards continuously flashing away. On the other hand, Wizard Doran was having a much easier time. The sea turtle was still recovering from unleashing the golden blast, so it could only do weaker strikes. It was much slower, and it was almost like a giant mountain in the sky. Wizard Doran kept flashing away with spell patterns casting from both hands. Their goal was to ensure Abel’s safety. But, since both sea monsters were coming after them, their hearts had lifted. The only thing left to do now was to escape and make their way to the destination. They were not far from their destination, and it would be where they would meet up again. However, escaping was not easy. Wizard Doran might have a better time. Even at the sea turtle’s max speed, it was not a speed-type monster at the end of the day.

Chapter 1121 - Encounter Chapter 1121: Encounter Wizard Dolan and Wizard Golan were busy cooperating. With the giant squid following them, they tried what they could to avoid being attacked. With every “instantaneous movement” they performed, they tried their bit to move past the squid’s attack. They didn’t talk to each other, but both of them understood the other’s stress. If they went any slower, they would have to confront the giant squid directly. They would rather face the legendary sacred knight than fight this monster while still in the ocean. After several failed attempts at striking these legendary wizards, the giant squid got even more irritated. Eventually, it got so angry that it went to unleash a high-intensity attack on the weak legendary wizards. After missing another one of its attacks, it finally gave up on teleporting in front of the legendary wizards. Instead, it chose to teleport itself towards their direction. Its giant body then spat out a dark mist towards above, covering everything in a one-kilometer range. So far, the two legendary wizards had been matching speed to the giant squid. They were taking turns to achieve this. With each move, they could change the direction they went in. When the teleportation was activated one time, however, Wizard Dolan could find himself being interrupted. Both he and Wizard Golan were covered up by the black ink, and they could feel a zapping sensation on their bodies. “No!” Wizard Dolan tried to scream. He didn’t think that the giant squid could perform an area attack as well. This special attack method could get to him even when he was trying to teleport. The giant squid would never have tried this if they weren’t provoking it and constantly slipping out of its reach. There was a risk in unleashing the black fog. It was meant to be a final attack if the fight was too much for the creature to handle. While Wizard Doland and Wizard Golan were trying to prepare their final preparations, they heard a roar over the distance filled with anxiety and rage. Wizard Dolan was sure that it was the giant sea turtle, “It’s from Wizard Doran!” Following that, the giant squid appeared not so far away from the two legendary wizards. Wizard Dolan and Wizard Golan were already doing what they could to get out of this place. After seeing the situation, however, they had no choice but to wait and observe what was happening first. Wizard Dolan had a small scroll in his hand that was quite different from most produced in the continent. It was something that he got from an ancient ruin. It was meant to turn his body into a streak of lightning along with other streaks of lightning. Basically, the streaks of lightning would fly in different directions while he, as one of them, would go in any direction that he wished. It was meant to be an extremely versatile form of escape. Wizard Golan had something similar. He had an ancient circle in his hand, which would explode after being activated. Under his teleportation, he knew he would teleport at least 50 miles outward. But, of course, it was a one-time item that he’d rather not use. He also got it from an ancient sight. If he didn’t, he would have to spend a huge cost to try purchasing it from the Wizard Union. When the giant squid stopped, it took scanned the two legendary wizards. Then, for some reason, it disappeared and went back to where it came from. WIzard Golan let out a long breath, “That’s a terrifying sea creature there! It has even had a lightning element?” In most fights, wizards would have an overwhelming advantage due to their ability to teleport. However, this was not the case when they were against spiritual beasts and sea creatures. These creatures could teleport as well, and when they were in their mature state, things could be very frightening for the wizards. This was exactly what happened with the giant squid. Its ability to teleport, aggressive capabilities, and sturdy defensive build made it quite a formidable foe against the two legendary wizards. There was also the geographical advantage. There was not much of a point fighting with fire element spells in the ocean. For the freezing element, since sea creatures had a natural kinship to water, their power would just be greatly demolished. That would leave just the lightning element. But, the giant squid could conjure lightning elements on its own. So, with nothing too explicit, the two legendary wizards figured that they might as well escape. They couldn’t guard against any attack, so there wasn’t even a point in thinking about waiting for a fight like this. Wizard Dolan hurried and asked, “What happened to the giant sea turtle, Doran?” Wizard Doran shook his head, “I don’t know. I’m trying to get rid of the giant sea turtle, but it went back after shouting at me.” Wizard Golan asked, “Could it be Master Bennett?” The three looked at each other in silence for a while. This was probably the cause. Wizard Golan spoke, “I hope Master Bennett is fine. I wouldn’t know what to report if he isn’t.” Wizard Dorren didn’t know what to say, “Its Master Bennett. Let’s just hope that he escaped.” Wizard Dolan was a bit hesitant. He knew that he couldn’t help Master Bennet even if he were going back. However, during that period of time, Master Bennett would’ve been out. While the three legendary wizards had their conversation, an angry roar came over the distance. It sounded worried and angry that it might lose something precious. Wizard Dolan suggested, “Let’s just leave. The sea creature’s probably lost something. It might come looking for again for it if we don’t leave.” Just when they were about to leave, the ocean became even more violent, with even greater maliciousness than the previous two fighting creatures. They didn’t know themselves. The giant squid and the giant sea turtle were no longer fighting. It was because they lost their treasure. As they unleashed their wrath towards the ocean around them, they tried to use the same method to find the thief that took from them. Still, all their efforts were futile. The ancient submarine was already repaired, and it took Abel to the deeper parts of the ocean. He no longer had to worry that the two sea creatures would come after him. The crystal was placed inside the portal bag, and the seclusion effect made him completely untraceable. Abel had a safe and smooth journey after that. It probably had to do with these two exceptionally strong ocean creatures. He didn’t find anything stronger for the next few hours. After looking at the holographic map on the control circle, he could tell that he had arrived. He spoke to the submarine spirit, “Up! Scan the area!” “Yes, master!” the submarine spirit responded. So the ancient submarine went towards the ocean, and strange energy spread. The submarine spirit gave the result quite quickly, “Three legendary wizards at the front, Master, at five miles in the front and 200 metres above!” Of course, it all had to do with the fact that the legendary wizards didn’t hide. They were standing in midair. The ancient submarine had already reached the ocean. The originally oval-shaped body of the boat was reverting to its original form. Abel walked out of the vessel and looked towards the sky in front of him as he stood on the deck. Wizard Dolan was the first to show up in front of him, “I knew you’d be fine, Master Bennett!” Abel laughed and replied, “I hope you’re not hurt, Wizard Dolan.” He could see that the three legendary wizards had been pulling the two sea creatures away. Despite the relaxed look on Wizard Dolan’s face, he couldn’t help but feel worried. Wizard Golan and Wizard Doran were appearing on the deck as well, “We’re fine, we’re fine! Thanks, Master Bennett!” Wizard Doran continued, “Well, what did you think an squid could do to us?” She seemed to have forgotten that the squid had almost killed them all. Still, since she asked this so naturally, the other two couldn’t really ask what Abel did. It was almost like WIzard Doran tried to remind them not to ask too many questions regarding Master Bennett’s secret weapons. Wizard Doran tried to change the subject, “Is ancient submarine fixed?” She was pretty surprised; they saw how much damage was inflicted on the vessel before. Now, it looked brand new. Abel smiled and explained, “Well, it has the ability to fix itself on its own.” Wizard Golan looked at it and said, “That’s more than impressive.” Truthfully, if the three never faced the sea creatures, they would’ve just been inside this ancient submarine to head straight to the destination. Fewer lives would be lost in any of their oceanic ventures, actually. But, unfortunately, many of the ancient ruins could be found inside the sea, and there were still not many options to explore these safely. Wizard Dolan looked towards the front, “Be careful at the front, Master Bennett. Also, put away the ancient submarine while I take you to a higher altitude.” As they spoke, the other two legendary wizards went up as well. Wizard Dolan went beside and patted his shoulder. Abel felt his body leaving the deck with Wizard Dolan. As they floated upward, he had his power of the Will wrapped around the ancient submarine and put it inside the portal bag. Wizard Dolan was watching as Abel put away the submarine, “I suppose that’s the wealth of a potion master.” Abel replied with a smile, “I suppose it’s nothing with what the WIzard Union has, considering they own most of the continent.” Abel did sound quite humble in that statement, but he was also implying something else. His wealth was not to be compared with ordinary wizards, and even legendary wizards were not targets that could be combined with him. The fact that he was comparing himself to an organization as big as the Wizard Union, really, was just another indication of how ridiculous his wealth. Wizard Dolan couldn’t help but smile. He thought that Master Bennett was making a simple joke. After elevating themselves, none of them used the “instantaneous movement.” Instead, they flew forward in midair. Abel pointed towards the front, “What is that, Wizard Dolan?” In the ocean that was in front of them, a loop appeared on the surface. It was about 30 meters in diameter. From the sky, they could see that the center was dark, which indicated that they couldn’t see the end of this swirl. Abel tried to reach it with his power of the Will. When there was still a bit of distance between them, he could see his power of the Will being pulled by a gigantic force. It was a good thing that his potential had far exceeded any other law-defying wizards and some legendary wizards. When the danger was about to reach him, he put away his power of Will.

Chapter 1122 - Eye Of The Demon Chapter 1122: Eye of the Demon Wizard Dolan didn’t think Abel would be so careless, “Watch out, Master Bennett!” Abel could sense the danger as well. So he withdrew his power of Will before it was too late. Wizard Dolan introduced again, “This is known as the demon’s eye. It has the ability to tear apartpower of Wills, so don’t extend yours if you’re not ready.” At this time, a fish of about one meter in length swam to the side of the swirl. It got closer and closer to the swirl. When it was about five meters away, it suddenly stopped moving. It was sucked into the swirl without any resistance. Wizard Dolan explained again, “As long as any regular creatures get close to it, that energy will crush the soul entirely. For class holders like us, we can keep ourselves safe by not extending our power of the Will.” Abel couldn’t help but ask, “Is our target this time the demon’s eye?” Wizard Dolan gave a positive response, “Youe guessed it right, Master Bennett. That’s our target, the entrance of the ancient ruin.” While Abel wasn’t sure what the danger was, he knew that it was quite threatening. In fact, if he didn’t have three legendary wizards accompanying him, he would’ve gotten anywhere near it. Abel said to Wizard Dolan, “I’ll call my summoned creatures out. Bring it with you as you go. It’ll buff us.” Wizard Dolan smiled in response, “Sure! Just call them out.” Abel took out Doff. Wizard Dolan found it hard to be so relaxed. He wasn’t sure he could carry its bodyweight and the ancient totem to fly. Actually, he probably could, but it was not going to be an easy job at all. Wizard Dolan started to realize how troublesome this was going to be, “Hurry up and help, Golan! Stall this big guy!” Wizard Golan flew beside Doff and his power of the WIll around it. He kept Doff floating in the air. “Dolan, it’s here!’ Doff first let out a scream that activated the barbarian spell “scream.” Under the energy lightwave, the four people that were in the scene reinforced their defense. After that, it produced another scream and activated the spell “combat system.” Under a golden light, the life force, mana capacity, and stamina of the four were instantly increased. After seeing that Doff was casting the spell, it quickly put it back to the portal beast ring. Wizard Dolan opened his eyes wide open, “This big guy can cast barbarian buff spells?” He couldn’t believe it. It was a Beamon giant beast casting a barbarian spell. Still, he could think back to the “totem pole” that the barbarians lost. He thought about the connection that they had with the Moon Goddess. As long as it was connected with the divine spirit, anything was possible at a price. Wizard Golan spoke admiringly, “That’s a good summoned creature there. Maybe I should capture one from the orcs as well.” Wizard Dorann interrupted him, “You know that the Beamon giant beast’s can’t be contracted creatures.” Wizard Golan raised his voice suddenly, “So why can Master Bennett have one?” He quickly lowered his voice. Master Bennett was someone that could even sign a treaty of equality with the tree of life. What else couldn’t he do? Abel just smiled without responding to anything. Doff was special, and even if he had another Beamon giant beast, there was no way that he could make a newer version of it. How else was he supposed to find a new race to convert to his followers? Where else would he find a second ancient totem? Wizard Dolan spoke quietly, “Let us go in now!” He had the “freezing armor” and the “energy shield, two defensive spells on. He could see that there was still quite a bit of danger with this sea swirl. The other two legendary wizards also had defensive spells on. They got closer to Wizard Dolan and had Abel near the center. Abel had the “storm armor” on. At the same time, he had the “spirit” shield and “spirit” sword in his hands. His trait attribute was more powerful because of it. Given his current condition, he had to use all his defensive capabilities apart from his wizard defensive spells. Yes, he could still have his sword and shield on without shocking the three legendary wizards. There were plenty of melee druids out there. Under the three-sided protection of the legendary wizards, Abel was brought to the eye of the demon. As carefully as he could, he tried to hide behind the “spirit shield. He couldn’t let his guard down, however, as there was danger at all ends. His senses were very alert as he got closer and closer to the eye of the demon. Very quickly, he activated the ability of the world stone fragment. At the very least, when he was facing the danger, he could still use the ability that the world stone fragment was providing to hold on for a bit longer. The three legendary wizards were already within the eye of the demon. They were flying in without a second thought. Abel could feel his vision going blank. He was too afraid to do a power of Will scan, too. He didn’t have his vision with a scan. Still, this loss of senses was only temporary. Wizard Dolan produced a small “firebolt” and shot it above their heads. Wizard Dolan explained, “Light can’t go in from the outside, Master Bennett.” As he spoke, the wind was scraping up from the different sides. He didn’t expect there to be wind within this 30-meter diameter pillar. Yet, amidst this wind, he could hear cutting noises continuously on the defensive barriers. Abel looked over, and he could see countless wind blades amidst the wind. Wizard Dolan seemed very relaxed amongst all of this, “The wind can’t break our defense, Master Bennett.” He could see. Although the wind blades collided against the defensive spell barrier, the barrier wasn’t moving and was held on. Abel was not the type to rely entirely on others, though. So, by making the sword on his right disappear, he replaced it with his shield. It was a strange thing to have two shields in his hand, but with this, he could put himself mostly in safety. Also, the “spirit” shields had runes on them. They were about the finest steel pieces that he could produce. As the three legendary wizards lowered themselves, the density of the wind blades grew thicker as well. Under an attack such as this, it’d be very easy to be shredded without the right kind of protection. Abel’s senses were telling him that danger was everywhere. Although the wind blades weren’t so impressive to him, it was certainly deadly. By the way, Wizard Dolan almost died when he came here for the first time. He was alone at the time, and since he was trapped by these wind blades in all directions, he was busy guarding them. Because of this experience, he learned that it would be much easier to bring company with him. The three legendary wizards weren’t going down so quickly. They seemed to realize that something special was here. They couldn’t accelerate. From what Abel could see, there had to be something that happened here to trigger some aftereffect. The wind blade was just as sudden as when it came. When Abel was watching the barrier growing thinner and thinner, the blade was just gone. Things didn’t go easier for him after that, however. The environment around him was growing even colder. Right here, big pieces of ice appeared amidst the eye of the demon. The big ones were as large as two square meters, while the small ones would only be the size of a bean. The three legendary wizards all started to look a lot tenser than this. They started drawing spell runes in their hands. Followed by that, under the three lights, the freezing elements looked a lot more active. Ice pillars started flying out, and instead of reaching over to the distance, they became three ice walls that appeared in front of the three legendary wizards. Abel was quite impressed with how well the three legendary wizards could maneuver themselves. The ice pillars could freeze the enemies on the spot, but the fact that they were becoming ice walls made him realize that he was not being creative enough to make the most out of this spell. Essentially, the three ice walls would form a triangle structure that would protect the four as they were in it. Abel was watching to see that there was an ice cube of about 50 cubic centimeters in volume. When it slammed on the ice wall, there was a scar on the wall. Followed by that, more and more ice pieces would crash onto the wall and leave different marks. Luckily, this was the ocean. After replenishing some freezing elements from their surroundings, the three legendary wizards managed to fix the wall quite quickly. Wizard Golan laughed and spoke, “Good thing these cubes aren’t so big!” Just as he was speaking, there was a giant cube that was about 5 meters tall and 4 meters wide flying towards them. Wizard Doran complained, “You brought this to yourself, Golan.” Wizard Golan waved his hand and threw a fireball. After crashing the boulder, the piece of ice became smaller chunks of ice. Abel could feel that the temperature was becoming colder and colder, so much so that his body was starting to feel numb. Wizard Dolan reminded Abel, “Be careful of the low temperature here, Master Bennett. The cubes aren’t the main threat here.” The ice cubes looked like they would hurt if they came crashing down, but that’s not really the case for legendary wizards. Under environments like this, while it was impossible to extend their power of the Will, they had no choice but to defend themselves passively. Wizard Golan, for instance, could not move his fireball after he unleashed it. The fireball was hit down by the giant ice boulder since it was flying towards something too big. However, if these legendary wizards focused on the smaller ice cubes and several hundreds of them, it’d also be impossible to hit these precisely. Abel took out a “melting potion” and drank. He was starting to feel the numbness and coldness disappearing. He could feel his body starting to warm up. He could activate his fire element and eradicate all this cold from him, but that would expose his identity as a law-defying wizard. It’d be more fitting for a potion master to use potions to remove this cold. The three legendary wizards continued to bring Abel downward. The ice started to disappear, and the lowered temperature was returning to normal. Mist started to rise in four directions. Again, as it grew thicker and thicker, it got harder to see anything anymore. Abel could only sense that the three legendary wizards were still around to protect him. At a further spot, since he couldn’t even use his power of the Will, all he could really see was fog. Wizard Dolan spoke to him softly, “You can reach the entrance after passing through here, Master Bennett. Let’s not make any noise from here, though.” Following what he said, the three legendary wizards started slowing down to try not to make any sound. They started going downward as quietly as they could. Abel’s senses were telling him that danger was coming from behind. He was just ready to tell Wizard Dolan, but as he remembered the warning about not making any noise, he could only place the shield in front to block the incoming danger. He could feel something being blocked by Wizard Golan’s defensive spell, though. He didn’t like this feeling. He didn’t know what attacked him, and he couldn’t make any precise calculation. Maybe the attack just then was caused by Wizard Golan’s defensive spell. His senses were telling him of the many threats. It was almost like many unknown creatures were coming towards them to attack. Wizard Dolan could no longer keep being quiet, “Damn it! Unleash the firewall!” He then activated a spell rune in his hand. A firewall was being cast at a spot ten meters in front of him. The other two legendary wizards did the same, and that protected them from the wall.

Chapter 1123 - Entering Chapter 1123: Entering As the firewall rose, the mist was slowly exterminated. It was almost visible when they were around it. Screams of agony could be heard. Abel could see some spiked grey fish struggling amidst it. Wizard Dolan explained as he cast the firewall, “These are hybrid swordfish, Master Bennett. They seem to live inside the eye of the demon, and they feed on those who fell into the eye.” Despite the power of the firewall, some of the hybrid fish still made it out alive. However, they seemed to have lost their advantage in speed when they got close to the three legendary wizards. They were also heavily injured, making them less of a threat. Abel didn’t know. The trip was going fine because the three legendary wizards were prepared for all kinds of situations that they might face. It was not the first time coming here for any of them. The last time they came here, they had to do what they could to pay the right cost. Under the protection of the firewall, the three legendary wizards continued to bring Abel downward. Under the reflection of the bright light, Abel could see the bottom of the eye of the demon. There was a dark stone slab, but he couldn’t quite see the words written on it. Wizard Dolan smiled, “We’ve arrived!” He placed his hand on the stone slab, and the stone slab unleashed a white light engulfed the four of them. Following that, Abel saw the bottom of the eye. He saw a sparkling light that transformed into a complicated pattern. When the bottom was completely glowing, he could feel the presence of a dimensional power. As his eyes glowed up, he was automatically teleported. He could see that his front was shining bright. He was standing on a piece of grass with three legendary wizards beside him. He raised his head to look in the other direction. In the sky, and there was a giant transparent cap with something glowing red in the middle. It looked kind of like the sun. It seemed that the area he was in was a dimension under the protection of the gap. He looked around and saw that ten puppets busy working in the field. They didn’t seem to pay attention to the four that just came here. Abel was surprised, “This is the ancient herb garden?” All the crops were well taken care of. He couldn’t believe it. Since ancient times, the herbs were kept in such fine condition, and the puppets were still busy working diligently to maintain them. Wizard Dolan smiled, “We’re pretty surprised when we first came here.” Just when Abel was about to take a few steps forward, he stopped as he realized the many lying corpses. Some were a few hundred years old. Others were relatively recent. Wizard Dolan bowed towards the corpses, “That’s what the Wizard Union had to pay for to investigate this ancient ruin.” The Wizard Union had always known about this location. Many of the members did find it, but most of them couldn’t make the return trip. Wizard Dolan went on to explain, “These men used their lives to get the most information out of all, and that is that if you want to get in this ruin, you must have an ancient command card with you. Otherwise, any trespassers will be struck down by the defensive mechanism here.” After saying that, he took out a command card and showed it to Abel. He didn’t tell Abel the number of ancient ruins, the number of documents, and the number of failed attempts the Wizard Union had to go through to get their hands on this. Right now, they were standing here at ease, but without this card, they would’ve been dead immediately. It was a legendary wizard that almost died here that got this card, and he was considered extremely skilled and lucky to help with the exploration here. Abel had to look at the herb garden in front of him. He couldn’t believe that the defensive mechanisms here would be so terrifying. Perhaps there was a spirit that was under control here. The more he was in contact with ancient times, the more he understood the things that happened in the past. When he looked at the ten ancient puppets, he thought that there must be something to keep replacing their parts and do the maintenance. A spirit must be here. Since he couldn’t see anything but the different herb gardens around here, he thought that maybe the only place the spirit would exist would be the underground. Abel spoke to Wizard Dolan, “I’ll need a seclusion circle, Wizard Dolan. We’ll start preparing the items to initiate the brew.” Wizard Dolan spoke, “We’ll commence then, Master Bennett. We’ve got all the ingredients for the “mana resistance potion.” There’s only ten days that we can be here. After ten days, we’ll be immediately teleported out of here. If we’re just collecting the herbs here, the garden will automatically decide the amount of time needed for the herb to be collected, then it will open up the garden again.” The last time they arrived here, these legendary wizards had to make their way in without collecting anything. Abel nodded, “Good. First, I’ll start preparing the brewing equipment, and then I’ll collect the stuff needed in the herb garden.” Wizard Dolan continued to speak, “You won’t have to do a thing to collect the herbs, Master Bennett. We’ll do it for you. You just do what you can to brew the mana resistance potion.” Within ten days, Wizard Dolan was planning to brew as many mana resistance potions as he could, such that they could be distributed to only the strongest of the wizards. Abel didn’t think twice to set up a seclusion circle. Following that, he took out an entire alchemy set from his portal bag. He’s almost had an entire lab over for this mission. However, since some of his techniques needed to be kept confidential, he had to have the seclusion circle do this for him. The three legendary wizards quite fast themselves. The first pack for twenty potions was gathered in no time. From their perspective, they thought that Master Bennett could create a total of ten potions if they could. They were extremely positive with this estimation, given that most potion masters would have a 20% success rate in most brews. Wizard Dolan placed the ingredients outside and asked Abel, “Do you think these ingredients are alright, Master Bennett?” Abel bowed and looked around. He could see that the herb garden was fully automated so that the quality of all products would remain consistent. As a potion master, this was definitely ideal as the consistency would help with a higher success rate. Of course, that wouldn’t matter too much for Abe, but he still appreciated how well the management was done. Abel put the twenty portions away and spoke to Wizard Dolan, “You keep collecting, Wizard Dolan. Make sure you get 100 portions every time.” Wizard Doran reminded him, “Try not to waste the herbs here, Master Bennett. The herb garden decides when the next time it opens based on the amount they harvested this time.” Abel smiled and looked towards Wizard Dolan, “Don’t worry. I won’t waste it.” The ones that came this time were Wizard Dolan. All the decisions had to be made by him. If Wizard Dolan agreed, he would have to brew as many potions as he could. If there were no agreement, he would have to brew at the regular rate. The mana resistance potion was a master-level product. For every regular brew, a minimum of two hours would be needed. By this sense, even if Abel wasn’t eating or resting, he could only make about 120 portions in ten days, and that was if he wasn’t failing at all. The Wizard Union was only hoping for him to make 60, but for someone who’s never had to save any potions, he couldn’t help but think that the amount was really too few. This was pretty much why the Wizard Union would only let the most powerful wizards distribute the mana resistance potions. Wizard Dolan was a bit hesitant as well. If too much was wasted without enough being produced, the herb garden might just shut itself even after the demon from beyond woke up. Their plan to mass-produce the potions might not work. Still, this was the best potion master they had. If Master Bennett promised them, they had no real choice but to trust him. Having thought about this, he made an immediate decision, “Send word at any time, Master Bennett. We’ll listen to you and start collecting at any time.” Abel smiled, “Good. Have the three collect 100 portions in two hours.” Having said that, he walked into the circle and left the three wizards out. Wizard Doran was not confident, “Dolan! We’re going to waste too much if we’re collecting like this. Some of the stuff can only be used within two hours after harvesting!” Again, the cost of coming here was just too much. If they happened to have any waste here, after all the sacrifices the Wizard Union had to go through, it’d be a tremendous disservice to the wizards here. Wizard Dolan spoke, “I’ll have to have a talk with Master Bennett if he wastes any.” When the three legendary wizards collected the herbs, Abel was within the circle to start his brew. After switching on the world stone fragment, he began by processing the twenty portions worth of herb with his power of the Will. First, he divided the power into twenty, then proceeded to continue at the same time. Because he was absorbing the power of the Will of the divine armor, there was a massive boost to his power of the Will. Combined with the bonus of the world stone fragment, he was able to be much more focused at this. Furthermore, since the power of the Will could be more flexible than human hands, he was been doing his part to process the herb one by one. As a matter of fact, the potion masters were much more willing to use all kinds of ingredients provided by the stores instead of something from the herb garden. This stuff was mostly processed already by professionals, while the stuff that was collected straight from the field would require more work for them to be usable. If someone experienced was watching what Abel was doing, they’d surely be stunned with how Abel was preparing them. The amount of precision and delicacy put here was phenomenal. The world stone fragment was what made it possible. All the materials were done so that they could be put to the very best of their abilities. Once the materials were processed, the brewing process just became a lot easier. If he were just preparing for different stuff to make the mana resistance potion, he would’ve felt comfortable with most of it. He knew that the more he could make this potion, the more loss he could inflict upon the sacred knights of the Nation of God. This was why he decided to mass-produce these. The difficulty level was very high, of course. He was actually the very first who’s willing to try this. Most potions that were mass-produced were restricted to low-tier ones. Even the intermediate-level potions would rarely have potion masters doing mass production unless the cost for the ingredients weren’t worth the money. Abel had no intention of wasting anything. He was confident that he could master this mana resistance potion, just like how he became the sole producer of almost all the master-level potions on the central continent. He was the no. one figure to go for master-level potion because, unlike the other three potion masters, he could always produce at least a blue quality potion with what he had.

Chapter 1124 - Maximum Brewing Chapter 1124: Maximum Brewing After two hours, Wizard Dolan took out a portal bag and placed it outside the seclusion circle. Behind him were Wizard Doran and Wizard Golan. Both had very serious looks on their faces. Both of them were worried that the ingredients they collected this time would go to waste. Wizard Dolan was just as worried as them, but he was different because he was much more confident in Master Bennett. As for where his confidence came from, it had to do with all the “light recovery potions,” “power potions,” and “mana potions” that were produced before. Also, his own life was saved by Master Bennett’s potion. Abel walked out of the circle and saw the three legendary wizards, “You got the ingredients, Wizard Dolan?” Wizard Dolan passed the bag over, “100 portions ready, Master Bennett.” “Good! Pass the ingredients over after two hours,” Abel took the bag over, then threw Wizard Dolan another bag, “The mana resistance potions are in this. You take care of it.” Wizard Dolan was about to say something in response, but Abel was already walking back into the seclusion circle. So when he inserted his power of the Will to inspect the bag, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes. Wizard Doran was a bit uncertain, “The brew works?” After two hours, the brew should’ve only worked once. According to the rumors, Master Bennett had an extremely high success rate, but to get it right in one go was nothing short of a miracle. The Wizard Union’s estimate was a 50% success rate, but in truth, Abel didn’t want them to know that the number was actually 100%. Wizard Dolan just started laughing, “Ha, ha ha!” Wizard Doran was concerned, “Stop laughing, Dolan! Is it good or not?” Wizard Dolan laughed, “We’ve underestimated Master Bennett this whole time! The whole continent underestimated him. He’s better than the other three potionmasters, no, actually, he’s better than all three of them combined!” The Wizard Union did think about bringing the other three potion masters over. However, given their fighting capabilities, the presence of one sea creature would kill them. The reason that they had Master Bennett was really because he was a dragon druid. That, combined with the protection of the other three legendary wizards, was what made the Wizard Union decide that they should trust Master Bennett. Wizard Dolan threw the portal bag to Wizard Doran, “You’ve underestimated him as well!” Wizard Golan saw Wizard Doran’s expression. He was more curious than surprised. After snatching the bag off, he saw a total of 20 mana rabbit potions, each with blue lightning sparks over the surface. The amount they collected was all turned into products in two hours. Not only that, they were all blue quality potions. Wizard Golan spoke out loud, “So that’s how he’s so rich!” The Potionmaster Guild would always demand clients to make five portions for one brew. This was because failures would happen. It’s just how things were. However, if one could guarantee a 100% success rate, all the four other portions would be for the potion master to take. This meant that a lot more income would come apart from the actual income. For master-level potion, the ingredients that were needed were mostly scarce. Some of them were sold at ridiculous prices. Like the “longevity potion,” some of them only contained materials from the ancient ruins. Most class holders would spend their entire lives collecting five amounts worth. Wizard Dolan smiled, “You think all potionmasters are like Master Bennett, Golan?” Wizard Doran interrupted, “I don’t care, Dolan! Next time, just have Master Bennett help brewing the potion. I’ll do my part to provide only one portion, even if you replace the other portions with, I don’t know, whatever!” Although legendary wizards could live long enough to get the ingredients in time, they couldn’t secure the quality of the longevity potions. Also, the longevity potion could only be consumed once in a person’s lifetime. Under most situations, when the longevity potion was brewed, the quality would only be regular. When Master Bennett put out the blue quality potion, Wizard Doran was starting to see hope. Wizard Dolan saw the other two legendary wizards, “It’s okay if you help Master Bennett brew the potion, but make sure you don’t spread the news too much.” Wizard Golan was already nodding, “Of course we’re not! We keep this to ourselves!” Wizard Dolan interrupted and laughed, “Just go and collect the ingredients! Actually, you think Master Bennett will give us a perfect product this time?” Wizard Golan was already changing his mind, “It’s Master Bennett. Why, of course!” Wizard Dolan and Wizard Doran both laughed. They knew that the mission this time would be accomplished perfectly. The number of the mana resistance potion was already enough to be distributed to the law-defying wizards fighting on the frontline. Before, the Wizard Union would only give the potion to the legendary potions. Now, all the law-defying wizards were guaranteed to get their own. After two hours, Wizard Dolan was already waiting outside of the seclusion circle. With some motivation in mind, he began collecting the herbs. Abel was walking out of the circle when the time went up. He took out the mana resistance potion, all 100 blue quality bottles, and threw them to the ground. Then, he took the portal bag in Wizard Dolan’s hand and walked to the seclusion circle. Wizard Dolan couldn’t help but be amazed, “This is insane!” Another 100% success rate brew. Abel was also gaining a lot more alchemist energy from brewing this type of potion. His alchemist rune was starting to fill up every time he made a brew. In this world, the study of potions and potionology was a systemic study founded on the documents left since ancient times. After generations of research, the recipes were improved and recorded to fit into the context and demands of that particular time. The procedures were hard, but many potion masters had been busy persisting their research, and that’s what resulted in the Potionmaster’s Guild as what it was today. Among the potion recipes, apart from some of the newer ones invented, many existing ones were improved versions of the original ones from ancient times. The potion master-level ones Abel made before, for instance, consisted of mostly ancient ingredients. As it was not easy to find the ancient ingredients, countless research was done to look for the right supplementary materials, which was good. More potions were made than ever before, and the cost of manufacturing was going down. However, the gains of training as potion masters were starting to go down. This could be seen from the fact that no grandmaster potion master ever existed in modern times. Without using ancient ingredients and not substitutes, it would be much harder to fill the alchemist run with one’s energy. This herb garden was definitely something of a rarity in that regard. As all the ingredients belonged to ancient times, the amount of energy being rewarded was equivalent. Same in ancient times. No potion masters had the same success rate as Abel, and no potion masters could mass-produce the master-level potions. So he was the only one making actual progress in filling his alchemist rune. Abel was acting very much like he was in a rush. On the second, he just stopped talking after walking out of the seclusion circle. He only wanted to focus on his potion. Although he thought that it would take at least several decades or centuries to fill up his alchemist runes, he was starting to see the hope of his rune being filled up after allowing the mass production two times. In the initial brew, he did feel an influx of energy when he was done making the twenty bottles. For the second time, he could feel an obvious increase after the manufacturing. In this herb garden, he would be going out after every two hours. When he was done, he would throw the potions on the ground and return to the seclusion circle. The three legendary wizards never stopped collecting the ingredients. They had no time to rest, not even the time to continue eating. On the noon of the second day, Abel was walking out of the seclusion circle once more. This time, after throwing the bottles of the mana resistance potion, he also threw out three bottles of the blue howling rabbit flavor “ration potion.” Wizard Golan picked up a ration potion with a bitter look, “I miss the days on the ancient submarine!” On the five days, they were on the ancient submarine. They used to show dishes containing Abel’s rabbit essence. They were also drinking red wine and water spirit fruit juices that were synthesized twice. Now, they could only have the ration potion. Wizard Dolan shook his head, “Would you stop whining? Master Bennett’s still brewing his potions, and what’s he got to eat?” Wizard Dolan then drank the ration potion. Suddenly, his eyes started to sparkle. He used to dislike ration potions, but this one tasted quite good. Wizard Dolan threw a menacing smile at Wizard Golan, “Can you give me the bottle, Golan? I don’t think you want this?” Wizard Golan’s eyes sparkled as well, “I see what you’re trying. Actually, I’m pretty hungry now, so no.” For the next few days, Abel continued to craft the potions without rest. He only stopped on the eighth day, and it was only because there were no ingredients left. As large as the size of the garden potion, the ingredients that could be used only took up a small fraction. Abel had brewed the 9000 bottles of the blue quality potion. The number was enough to clear up everything. Abel could feel the alchemist rune inside of him starting to fill him. He believed that more potions would keep him in full state. Still, the ingredients were already gone. He had no chance to promote himself to become a grandmaster potion master. On a side note, Wizard Golan was thinking about asking for more ration potions from Abel, but he never felt hungry even after eight days. He didn’t know what Abel was giving him was a special edition that would last ten days, whereas the ones available in most markets would last for three.

Chapter 1125 - Demanding Chapter 1125: Demanding Abel spoke to the elder identity card on his waist, “Can you find the location of the herb garden spirit, battle command spirit?” He was still inside the seclusion circle now. The three legendary wizards wanted to rest. It wasn’t just him that needed rest. They needed rest as well. They all hadn’t rested for eight days. The battle command spirit sent over a message, “We’ll be scanning the garden, sir!” After five minutes, just when Abel realized that something wrong happened to the battle command spirit, he began to hear the sound of something being recovered. “Sir Elder! This garden is a portable base. The area the spirit is located at is at the bottom!” Abel couldn’t help but ask, “You mean the herb garden can move?” The battle command spirit explained, “Yes, this is a base meant for war. It’s portable so that it can provide back support for troops.” Abel realized something. He might be able to bring the entire garden back with him. He first looked towards the herb garden outside of his seclusion circle. The area was as massive as about a few thousand hectares. The entire system was automated, such that no manual labor was required. He could make an entire system just like this, but it’d be an excellent addition to the family. He could also combine the system with his three goddess statues, making the overall product multiple times more than what the entire family required. The reason that the Holy Continent had no rank 18 wizards was very simple. They did not have enough resources. Abel did provide his family wizards with an entire area with the right concentration of mana already. It was not less than what’s available on the central continent, and if there were any difference, it would be that it was much harder to make potions on the Holy Continent. On the Holy Continent, the main method to train was mostly through meditation only. Even the mana gathering circle had to be used with extra care, mostly because many gemstones were used up already. With this ancient herb garden in place, the advanced wizards on the Holy Continent might have everything that was needed. The problem now was to take the herb garden away with Abel, and he didn’t think that he could achieve this without letting the other three legendary wizards know. After giving it some thought, Abel decided that he might as well explain it to Wizard Dolan. He didn’t think that they would refuse, given how dangerous it would be if he were coming here alone the next time. Abel walked out of his seclusion circle and went to Wizard Dolan’s tent, “I’ve something to talk about Wizard Dolan.” Wizard Dolan walked out of his tent as soon as he heard. He was a bit confused, “I thought you’re resting, Master Bennett. Please, come in. What business might you have?” Abel was a bit hesitant to say this, but it had already been eight days. He didn’t know when they’d all be kicked out. But, on the other hand, if he couldn’t find a way to take control over the spirit here, this fine garden might be impossible to find in the future. Abel walked in and spoke about his intent, “Let me ask this, Wizard Dolan. Would the Wizard Union allow me to have this garden if I want to own it?” Wizard Dolan wasn’t sure, “You mean you want this garden, Master Bennett?” Abel nodded, “It’s of good use to me.” Wizard Dolan was more confused now, “This garden is at the outer part of the sea, Master Bennett. You can’t come here alone even if you were granted ownership.” As a matter of fact, the Wizard Union was already considering giving up on this place. The risks were too high. Plus, the special environment made it impossible to connect to a super teleportation circle. Now that they’ve got all the ripe materials turned into the mana resistance potion, it might just be a good idea to leave permanently. Abel reconfirmed, “Can I purchase this herb garden, Wizard Dolan?” Wizard Dolan could tell that Abel was serious, “I’ll get the other two. Hold it for a moment, Master Bennett.” He then extended his power of the Will. Very quickly, two white lights appeared. The two legendary wizards were already standing in front of Abel and Wizard Dolan. Wizard Dolan spoke to them, “We’ve got something to tell you about. So, Golan, Doran, Master Bennett seems to be interested in taking this garden. What do you think?” Wizard Dolan didn’t see a reason to refuse, but he still needed the approval of the other two to ask the Wizard Union. But, of course, Wizard Golan and Wizard Doran had no idea why Abel would ask for this. They couldn’t say how ridiculous the idea was, but nor could they refuse. How else could they get him to help them out the next time if they were to say no to him about this?” Wizard Golan made it clear, “No problem! We’ve crafted this much mana resistance potion now! It’s enough for the Wizard Union already.” Wizard Doran laughed, “Why is that even a question? Ha! If Master Bennett can find some way to get here, the Wizard Union can just buy mana resistance potion from him permanently! The problem is, well, I’ve made myself clear, haven’t I?” Abel smiled, knowing what they were trying to say. Of course, they’d all be interested in giving him this herb garden, but he needed to show them that he could use it to the best of his ability. Wizard Dolan passed the command card to him, “We’ll give you this garden now, Master Bennett. This is a command card. The next time the garden opens, please craft more mana resistance potions for the Wizard Union.” Abel bowed and took the card over, “I’ll follow my oath, rest assured. I’ll do my best to provide a mana resistance potion to the Wizard Union.” For as early as a few days ago, he’s been putting five portions of the ingredients into his personal storage box. The time there was stationary, and he could transplant them into his own area once he was back. He might craft the mana resistance potion to boost his alchemy level if not for the potions themselves. The one thing he needed to think about was whether he could allow the herb to survive in Blood Moor. If he could get permission to own it, there shouldn’t be a problem. Abel left the three legendary wizards and followed the scanning result of the battle command spirit. After doing so, he found the hidden entrance that was leading to the underground. The entrance was hidden by bushes. The top was even decorated with hidden circles similar to that of the seclusion circles. However, if the battle command spirits could recognize this, they might just read the situation immediately. Followed by one step into this entrance, Abel could see that the three legendary wizards were looking at each other. They’ve been to this location before, but none of them had found this passageway. Wizard Doran smiled, “Master Bennett was asking us because he’s confident, Doran.” Wizard Dolan didn’t seem to care, “Well, just give it to him if he wants it, then. Who else can we give this to, anyways?” No one could make 9000 bottles of the mana resistance potion like that. Abel was the only one. There was no one else that could make something this good with this little amount of time. Wizard Doran smiled, “The problem, Dolan, is that we might need to give Master Bennett a bit, you know, just a bit more materials the next time we ask him to do a favour.” Wizard Dolan laughed out loudly, “Definitely less, of course! Why’re we still giving him extra portions if his success rate is near perfect? I might just hand him my rarest ingredients , actually.” For wizards like them that would often venture inside the ancient ruins, they’d always have some ancient herbs that could be brewed into actual potions. The problem was that they couldn’t find enough to make spares, but Abel just showed them that he never needed spares. As the three legendary wizards chatted with each other, Abel was already moving to the underground area of the cultivation base. Without the help of the battle command spirit, he would’ve never been able to make it here. It did seem easy when he was walking to the entrance. However, without using the battle command spirit to use the elder sign card, he might face an attack immediately. As they moved to the underground area of the moving cultivation base, he could see that there was a giant room of about 500 square meters. There were puppets placed around everywhere. From what the puppets looked, they were probably meant for manual labor. They were probably maintenance puppets if Abel had to guess. They seemed to be all lacking some extra parts, however. Originally, many labor puppets were here, and as time went on, they would just slowly be broken on their own. Some were still left to “protect” the malfunctioning ones, and over time, only ten were left that worked on the field. Those were the ten that they all saw back then. As it turned out, there was a time limit to how long the garden could sustain on its own. Maybe in a few decades, the labor puppets might just become useless, and the moving base might lose its function. Then, a month later, the garden might rot away on its own. Instead of looking at the puppets one by one, Abel tried to look for some way to claim ownership over this garden. If he could provide the raw material for them, he could have the puppets wake up independently. Eventually, Abel’s eyes looked towards the door that was at the innermost part of the room. He could see that this was where the control room of this base was. The battle command spirit continued to send out one message towards the outside. The base here had always acknowledged him as a welcomed guest, but this was supposed to be a forbidden area. When Abel pushed on the door, he could see that the door had circle runes drawn on them. Still, he managed to get it open very easily. Once inside, he could see a spirit that was glowing faintly. He was quite familiar with the state of this spirit. The spirit was on minimum expenditure mode, such that all the other complicated functions were switched off. Abel spoke to the battle command spirit, “Add my claim in.” It’d be very easy to claim ownership over a low-energy spirit like this. The battle command spirit responded, “Yes, sir.” Very quickly, a wave came sweeping to the spirit that was glowing dark. Abel could quickly feel the connection he had with the spirit. “We got it!” Abel said, thinking that he was done with the most important step. He went forward to the energy slot, and he could see that almost all the magic stones were gone. It was pretty much empty, and he just wasn’t sure what the spirit was doing to keep it alive today. So he decided to first have a look by connecting his power of the Will to it.

Chapter 1126 - : Leaving Chapter 1126: Leaving Abel managed to understand why the spirit was able to exist today. From the records, it was called a nurturing spirit, something that was born to plant. It all had to do with how unique the portable nurture base was. It needed something special, something like a sun to provide light. Because of that, outside of the base, there had been many mana gathering circles that were supposed to supply energy to the very top. On the top, apart from illuminating the plant with light, another thing the sphere did was that it could attack with the energy that was compiled. Once everything inside was expended, it would then try to survive on its own. Since the management and illumination belonged to two completely independent systems, more rare ingredients were needed to draw the mana gathering circle outside the base. One set was for powering up the light sphere since magic gemstones were not enough, while the energy slot was just for the spirit. This would be a good model in most cases, but this garden had been operating for who-knows-how-long. One surprising thing was that the light sphere was still operating after all these years. If it weren’t for the nurture spirit adding another energy passageway a long time ago, none of this would be operating. After getting permission from the nurture spirit, Abel went ahead to place a top-level gemstone on the energy slot. He could see that all 2000 slots were full. When he saw that the energy was refilled, he could see that energy was sent over. “The nurture spirit is here to serve you, Master.” Abel commanded, “Self check on the base. Report to me about any missing resources.” “Ten nurture puppets and two maintenance puppets are available. Master, 190 nurture puppets and 38 maintenance puppets are waiting to be fixed. The lighting system is normal. Energy supply is regular. Apart from the seeds for the mana resistance potion that are surviving, the rest are all dead. Currently, what is missing is 1000 standard steel ingots, 5 standard portions of mithrils, 5 regular portions of regular gold…” The nurture spirit managed to tell Abel about all the things that he knew or didn’t know. All of them were absolute essentials. The names of the ancient ingredients might not be the same as their modern counterparts. Luckily, they just weren’t all that special. Abel managed to find most of them in his huge collection. As for the number, ever since he obtained the portal bags from the Nation of God, he’s never had to worry about the number in the mine. The only thing he was to worry about was overproduction, actually. To make things easier, the two maintenance puppets that could still move started moving and examined each other. They were not completely switched off during all this time, despite that they didn’t move most of the time. They did have mana gathering circles drawn on them, so as long as there was no energy, there would still be enough to transfer the energy over. Ever since the maintenance puppets walked into the control room, two top-level gemstones were taken out and placed into the energy slot. When the maintenance puppets received this boost, they started moving a lot faster than before. In fact, they were resuming to work at twice the speed of a normal human. They were starting to use the fire circles, and all kinds of ingredients were changed into different shapes as they worked on it. Circles were distributed on their entire bodies. The circle would hold all kinds of functions that were completely meant for fixing. Abel made an estimate. If he didn’t have the top-level gemstones with him, he wouldn’t have been able to use these circles. As a matter of fact, the low energy level was really the only cause of the huge waste of puppets. The problem was in the missing ingredients because even if there wasn’t enough, the maintenance puppets could always break the damaged ones to repair the other ones. Now that there was enough energy, the two maintenance puppets started working at full speed. They began by fixing the puppets that were not as severely injured. In just a few tens of minutes, some of the broken ones were getting back to work to join the fixing procedure. In this underground space, the whole place started operating again like a factory. Wizard Golan watched the nurture base, “Havenoticed something different about this garden, Dolan?” They realized that the rest was helping them restore some stamina. While they were waiting for Abel, Wizard Golan sensed that some change was happening to the moving nurture base. Wizard Dolan affirmed, “The herb garden is coming back!” While the herb garden didn’t seem so different from the one before, it did not possess the ability to move at high precision. Now that there was enough energy to support their cognitive function, their way of operating was starting to look completely different. Wizard Doran was very confused, “What did Master Bennett do, exactly? Why do I feel like he’s already had a lot of knowledge about this garden?” That seemed reasonable. Master Bennett should have no prior knowledge about this herb garden before coming here. However, he found the operation room before any of them. Given the current state of the garden, Master Bennett must’ve done something to the spirit to make everything work so much faster now. Wizard Dolan laughed, “This is good, Doran! The herb garden is better in Master Bennett’s hands than any of ours. We don’t brew potions, so let’s just have him make as many as he can!” Wizard Doran was watching, “Let me see how he’s going to process this.” During this time, two nurture puppets walked out of the entrance that Abel walked in. They were going towards the ten nurture spirits that were still working. The three legendary wizards understood immediately when they saw this. Master Bennett really had full control of this garden. On the night of that day, Abel was feeling quite good. He took out a standard nobleman’s long wooden table and a set of silver cutleries. As for the chef, it was Wizard Dolan since the job was to unfreeze the dishes he made. As easy as it was to heat these dishes, they managed to have a fantastic meal when they were all the way out here. Abel held the juice cup in his hands, “Let’s rest here for another night and return tomorrow.” Wizard Golan smiled and held his cup, “Master Bennett seemed to be collecting much more than us!” Abel laughed and said in reassurance, “Once you’re back, Wizard Golan, as long as you’re willing to give out the ingredients, you’ll be able to find me.” Wizard Doran smiled, “Make sure that offer isn’t just for Golan.” Abel nodded once more, “To the three of you, naturally.” He’s been quite busy when he was out doing missions with the three legendary wizards, but the reward he was receiving far outweighed his cost of coming here. The three legendary wizards didn’t know that he could bring the entire nurture base with him. More importantly, Abel had ownership over the nurture spirit, which contained a massive collection of recipes for collecting herbs. Now, although the herbs other than the ones for the mana resistance potion had all died, there ought to be more locations than this one for them to keep going. Abel just needed to plant the herbs he got inside the base. Naturally, under the care of the nurture spirit, he could plant more and more if he wanted to. As for bringing the whole base back, it wouldn’t be a tedious task for him at all since he had an entire super-sized teleportation circle on his own. An entire night passed by pretty quickly. The number of nurture puppets had increased to 50. The herb garden was really returning to normal. Although they hadn’t reached the 10-day restriction yet, Abel was still planning on leaving on this day, the ninth. He’s used up all the ingredients for the mana resistance potion, so there really wasn’t a point in staying. Before leaving the ancient garden, Wizard Dolan threw another look at it. Of course, now that all the ripe herbs were used, he’s got no idea about how Master Bennett would process what’s left. When he touched the portal bag on him again, however, he smiled very quickly. It wouldn’t matter what Master Bennett was doing with the base, because as far as he was concerned, the 9000 mana resistance potions that were here would change the war between the wizards and the knights completely. Wizard Golan looked at Abel and laughed, “I’ll bring you to leave, Master Bennett!” Having said that, he placed his hand on Abel’s shoulder and nodded to the other two legendary wizards. Abel activated the command card, and under white light, they started vanishing from the portable nurture base. Before they left, however, Abel extended his power of the Will and connected it to the nurture spirit. Following that, the whole thing started moving on its own and went inside the portal bag. As quick as this process was, Abel couldn’t get the three legendary wizards to miss it. He knew that, but since he’s already told them to stay quiet in exchange for many, many favors, there was not much that needed to be said here. Once the portable base was moved, they appeared at a location about 5 meters away from the ocean. Wizard Dolan was bringing the other three to a fixed spot. Underneath them, the eye of the demon was collapsing very quickly. The portable nurture base seemed to be what was supporting it before. Abel was the only one that understood the exact theory about how the energy-gathering circle was the one that was the cause behind all this. Wizard Doran laughed at Abel, “I’m starting to feel like we’re at a loss this time, Master Bennett!” Wizard Doran agreed, “Yeah! Can I just have another two bottles of the red wine we had yesterday, Master Bennett. You know, just to even things out. We didn’t know that you could just have an entire ancient ruin in your portal bag!” The two legendary wizards were doing what they could to be friendly to Abel and seeing what he was capable of doing. To satisfy their needs, Abel took out a few bottles of his red wine and the water spirit fruit juice to them. Abel spoke to Wizard Dolan, the captain of this mission, “So how should we head back, Wizard Dolan?” The ancient submarine was here. If needed, Abel might have it out. Wizard Dolan wanted to be as fast as he could, “Let’s go for a flight first. If we don’t see any trouble ahead, let’s just go back like this.” If it was just a few hundred bottles of the mana resistance potion, Wizard Dolan might have wanted to slow things down a bit more. However, this was a total of 9000 bottles. These would greatly change the course of the upcoming battles. Plus, once Master Bennett had the ancient herb garden up and running, the potions would just be harvested after a new wave.

Chapter 1127 - Wall Of Seawater Chapter 1127: Wall of Seawater In the morning, the air smelled of the ocean. This was a new experience. Abel was flying with his own body. He has had plenty of flying experiences on Flying Flame and the fire tooth war machines, but this was his first time flying like this. He had flown outside once before, but he was doing it with maximum speed. He’d estimated that when the powerful sea creature saw him, it would have already been too late to continue. However, flying with the three legendary wizards was something completely different. They flew at about 300 meters above sea level, and every half a second, they would activate the “instantaneous movement” once. To non-wizards, moving at this sort of frequency was nothing short of a disaster. Experienced wizards would not suffer from any travel sickness, but non-wizards would almost always vomit whenever they continued to move like this. Wizard Dolan brought Abel around non-stop. He and the other two legendary wizards were watching Abel, waiting for the eventual sickness. But, of course, this was just meant to be a joke. They were quickly disappointed, however. After an hour passed, Abel’s face was just as relaxed as before. He was even holding a conversation with the same smile on his face. Wizard Golan could no longer hold it, “Are you just going to use the short-distance teleportation circle for your training, Master Bennett?” He’s asking because, well, druids weren’t supposed to be this comfortable with moving at high frequency. Abel laughed in response, “I have Wizard Frankenstein with me everyday, so I’ll just have him take me around this time.” The Wizard Union would’ve known that Abel had a law-defying wizard bound to him. However, to have a law-defying wizard as a portable tool only was something no one would’ve guessed. Wizard Golan wasn’t even sure if Abel should be so open about this. Wizard Doran suddenly asked, “What’s this smell, I wonder? This is greater than Master Bennett’s dish!” She then sniffed two times more. Her expression was relaxed and pleased. Abel tried to smell it as well. He almost started drooling when he noticed it. Wizard Golan smelled and spoke, “This… this is good!” As a matter of fact, everyone here had the instincts to detect danger. Whether it was the two legendary wizards or Abel, they would have their methods to see what’s up ahead. Abel, especially. He’s had a very keen sense of detecting what could be a threat. This time, since the smell didn’t trigger anything, he was confident the three of them would continue smelling it. However, his strong power of the Will quickly took control and forced him to resist the temptation. He almost let go of Wizard Dolan’s hands to fall into the ocean. Wizard Doran and Wizard Golan were just starting to notice as well. They seemed to have realized that something was not going well. Wizard Dolan said loudly and reminded, “Be careful! This must be the smell of the sea creature giving birth!” He was the only one among them to not have been affected. He just noticed where the smell came from. When sea creatures gave birth, they emitted a special smell that was extremely tempting for sea creatures. This was precisely what Abel sensed. The essence was a reminder to all nearby sea creatures the newborn was a perfect feed. Once a newborn sea creature was eaten, their one level would go up. This effect was only if it was targeted towards sea creatures below the creature of that level. It was no wonder Wizard Dolan was trying to send a warning back then. He could sense the life essence that was affecting them. It really showed how powerful the sea creature was. It wasn’t like he was not affected by the smell, but as the captain of the squad, he was busy looking to see if there were even more sea creatures gathering. That was when he thought back to the Wizard Union’s record of how sea creatures gave birth. The ones who wrote down these records had to go through life-and-death situations to really get an experience like this. Wizard Dolan squinted his eyes, “Master Bennett! Unleash the ancient submarine now so we can hide in it!” Abel looked in his direction and saw something even more terrifying. Some more powerful sea creatures were flying at low altitudes. At a further spot, more sea creatures were flying in the very same direction. The fact that they were flying without wings just showed that they were at least above legendary levels. These creatures were loud. The shock waves they generated made the air and water around them explode. As for Abel, they were just in the direction that these sea creatures were advancing. Once there were so many sea creatures meeting each other, they would have no energy to take any hits. To prevent that, Abel took out the ancient submarine and threw it into the ocean in time. Wizard Dolan was brought to move into the submarine, which was closely followed by the other two. Abel spoke loudly to the submarine spirit, “Go down! Camouflage on! Hide from all other presences.” The ancient submarine started to sink. Then, with a wave of light, it merged itself with the water. Abel and the three legendary wizards were standing amidst the hallroom of the ancient submarine. The walls showed what was happening outside. They saw the fight between the two powerful sea creatures the other day. The fact that they could chase three legendary wizards away just showed how powerful they were. Wizard Dolan also had a tough reaction when he saw the giant sea turtle and the giant squid. He spoke calmly, “This sea creature must be very powerful. Even The ones from last time are participating!” The appearance of the two sea creatures just explained that the one that gave birth was more powerful than these two. Naturally, this frightened them to a great extent. Wizard Golan was not comfortable, “Damn! If we met those sea creatures on land, we would have not had to do this!” If they were fighting on land, the sea creatures would not be able to unleash any power related to the ocean. Still, that would never happen since they would always stay in the ocean. “Aw Oh!” A dragon’s roar came from over the distance. It made all the sea creatures that were running pause for a bit. Some of them could not resist the temptation of the newborn sea creatures, and they all started rushing towards the life essence. This dragon’s roar was more impactful than anything. Some not-so-powerful creatures were also quickly awakened, and they started turning their heads around to escape. The dragon’s roar was located from the ancient submarine. The legendary wizards were surprised. Wizard Dolan was doing relatively fine, but Wizard Dorren looked pale. Wizard Golan had a terrible look on his face, but his eyes still looked normal. Abel seemed to be the most relaxed one, but he did seem confused. Wizard Dolan asked, “What is the level of this dragon? Could it be an ancient type?” He didn’t seem to want the others to answer. This was more of a rhetorical question. Abel gave him a quick response, “That does not belong to a giant dragon.” Wizard Dolan looked towards Abel and tried to inquire. The other two legendary wizards were slowly waking up from the dragon’s roar. They all started looking towards Abel. Abel explained, “I have some understanding of dragons. This might feel like a dragon’s roar, but there’s no real essence of a dragon. It seems to originate from something that resembles a dragon.” Wizard Golan slapped his head, “Master Bennett has the dragon transformation, yes! You must’ve had a lot of understanding about this!” Abel looked towards Wizard Dolan, “Should we go see what sea creature this is?” Curiosity was what drove class holders, but Wizard Dolan shook his head very quickly. He had 9000 bottles of the mana resistance potion. He had no time to waste. Abel seemed a bit disappointed, “We’ll continue heading back, then.” Without seeing for themselves how powerful this sea creature was, there was probably no chance that they would in the future. However, his eyes never left that direction. He knew that there was a pack of powerful sea creatures rushing in that direction. A great war was about to commence. “Boom!” A deafening scream detonated. Even the ancient submarine started to shake. Above the sea rose a monstrous shadow with a dragon’s head but a turtle’s body. The sound came from the vibration when the shadow emerged. At the same time, he could see that the sea creatures were thrown into the air like toys. Abel was speechless. The ones thrown in the air included the giant squid and the giant sea turtle, two of the most powerful sea creatures. They were like babies, unable to resist in the face of the shadow. After being thrown, the sea creatures tried hard to control their bodies. Those that couldn’t withstand the dragon’s roar had already fallen behind. Those with strength above legendary continued to fly. Finally, however, the shadow stepped downward like an elephant. A tall ocean wave forced the other sea creatures to stick on the wall. Wizard Dolan’s voice got coarse, “Quick, Master Bennett! Dive down. That’s a dragon turtle you’re looking at!” Abel quickly commanded the submarine spirit to go down even further. Once the vessel was lower, the water wall started coming to them. He could see that an entire distance of several hundred meters was becoming a wall that was pushing on the surface. On the way, some of the fish were squished into mush. Only the legendary sea creatures survived, although a strange power was constraining them such that they just couldn’t move. There was a piercing sound from the tip of the submarine, like razors grazing through steel. Abel had just started to worry about the ancient submarine when a gigantic wall of water passed them. Abel swallowed. He was tense. Just a bit further, and the sea wall might have crushed the ancient submarine. He didn’t think that the submarine could withstand it, not when even those legendary sea creatures couldn’t do anything back. Now, he really understood the dangers of the sea. With these kinds of terrifying life forms out there, no one from the continent would ever want to face them. Wizard Dolan let out a long breath of relief, “Good, good. The dragon turtle just gave birth. Maybe its strength was somehow affected!” Abel’s mind was in a lot of distraught. Wizard Dolan was patient, “Master Bennett, the dragon turtle is the descendant of the ancient giant dragon and the ancient divine turtle. They are very similar, but dragonkind has never acknowledged the dragon turtle. As a matter of fact, there isn’t any real dragon’s heritage among the dragon turtles, but there was a great change to their blood as time went by! The dragon turtle, for accepting what the ancient divine turtle passed down, lived its life in the ocean. Although it was of the same origin as the giant dragon, it never wanted to get close to the giant dragons. And the giant dragons had no desire to connect with any dragon turtles.” “We’re lucky to see a dragon turtle being born here! The mother must be at least ten thousand years old now! We’re very, very lucky to see one of the most powerful spirits giving birth here!”

Chapter 1128 - Warm Energy Chapter 1128: Warm Energy Abel and the three legendary wizards were frightened by the dragon turtle’s presence. They carefully rode on the ancient submarine and spent a few days returning to the island that they came from. The three legendary wizards were taking the island’s teleportation circle to return to the Wizard Union headquarters. Abel just took a step back and used the teleportation circle to return to the golden castle. For about a month since they left, he needed to supply some potions for the castle warehouse. But, at the same time, he also wanted to find a quiet place to look through his loot. After walking out of the large teleportation circle inside the golden castle, a white light appeared before he left the teleportation circle room. Druid Lendo just brought another advanced druid over. Abel smiled and bowed, “Greetings to you, Druid Lendo!” Druid Randal was a bit reserved, “Greetings, Master Bennett. What’s this, if I may ask?” Druid Lendo didn’t think that Abel was welcoming him. They were friends, but Abel did not need to go to him in person. Abel smiled, “I just came back, and I happened to see you before I left the teleportation circle!” Druid Lendo smiled and explained, “What a coincidence! I was just bringing my student here to have something to eat. He’s been stuck at rank 17 for 20 years now, and I was just wondering if your recipes can help him with his promotion.” Abel tried not to be too direct, “It’s not guaranteed to promote your student, but what I can say is that it increases the overall probability.” Druid Lendo was getting a bit emotional, “You’re a bit too humble, Master Bennett. Wizards, druids and priests have all benefited from your restaurant. There have been 25 promotions in total. Even the master level potions are not as effective as your food. If it weren’t so hard to get a seat, I would’ve just come here as a regular customer!” Abel smiled and replied, “You could’ve just sent a message to me, Druid Lendo. We can eat together if you want.” Druid Lendo quickly refused, “No, no! You have many friends, Master Bennett. If you have to make an exception for everyone, what time would you have for yourself? Besides, it’s already been 20 years for my student. A few days more is nothing.” Abel passed a bottle of synthesized juice to Druid Lendo, “It’s my first time seeing your student, actually. I’ll give this juice away if he wants.” Druid Lendo knew that it was something good, “Dallas! Say your thanks to Master Bennett!” Dallas replied with a deep bow, “Thank you for the present, Master Bennett!” Abel spoke to Druid Lendo and Dallas, “You go and enjoy your meal, Druid Lendo. I’ll be on my way now.” Watching as Abel teleported out of the teleportation circle room, Druid Lendo and his student got their way to the restaurant. When the two druids took their seats, the ten seats became full. The half-elves started bringing all kinds of dishes over. Since the golden castle often had many customers, the Judson Family, which was the family that Druid Joseph belonged to, brought another new batch of half-elves. The half-elves would often provide service at the restaurant and the top platform. Druid Dallas sat beside Druid Lendo. He looked curiously towards the castle in front of him. He couldn’t believe the wealth piled up here. It was no wonder class holders below advanced were forbidden to be here. The amount of gold here would make anyone lose their minds. If he himself weren’t already an advanced class holder, he would’ve also been very tempted to get the gold here. As a matter of fact, Abel wasn’t worried about having his gold taken over. He only restricted certain class holders from visiting because he didn’t want too many visitors. What Druid Dallas didn’t understand was why he got a bottle of juice from a potion master. Master Bennett was mainly known for being the dominant producer of all kinds of potions. As long as it was from him, what product was sold would always have its price multiplied from its starting price. Master Bennett was known to have done that to many of his brands, such as promoting potions for class holders and beauty products for female elves. So it just seemed odd that it was a bottle of water spirit juice, although the price did seem to have gone up lately. Druid Lendo was ordering some food, “What happened, Dallas?” “Why is it a bottle of juice?” Druid Lendo asked after glancing to see if anyone was eavesdropping on them. “Hush, you! Who do you think Master Bennett is? You think this is regular juice?” Druid Lendo scorned him, then took out his own juice that was contained inside his crystal bottle, “Just have a sip of this. I was going to let you have some once we’re back, but I’ll give the explanation early.” Druid Dallas took the crystal bottle and smelled a special fruit. He could tell that this was the water spirit fruit, but the aroma was even better than the regular ones. He gently poured some of it into his mouth, and his soul felt like he was flying in midair. Everything that was piled up over the 20 years became something of an enlightenment, which generated a promotion qi on him. He loosened his grip and dropped his juice. On the side, Druid Lendo was very quick to catch the bottle. Someone called out when Druid Lendo was about to put the bottle away, “Druid Lendo, are you willing to offer this bottle?” Druid Lendo could see that it was Wizard Haywood, “Wizard Haywood! This bottle is a gift Master Bennett gave to my student. Sorry to say, he’s already had a sip, so it’s not really up for sale.” Before Wizard Haywood could say more, he hid the bottle of juice inside his portal bag. “Damn it!” Wizard Haywood cursed. He smelled something special about this bottle, but Wizard Lendo was strong on keeping this to his student. Still, he quickly thought that he could contact the lightning clan. Since the lightning clan was already so close with Master Bennett, he could have his good friend ask for a brand new bottle of juice. Abel didn’t realize that his bottle of juice had just immediately activated the promotion of an advanced druid. That was another one added to his list of clients who’ve succeeded. Also, the bottle of juice in his hands just became the target of many, many people. This is because the water spirit fruits produced in the dark world were already much better than those produced on the continent. Also, since it was synthesized twice already, the effect on one’s spirit would be much better. Abel didn’t feel much when he was drinking these water spirit fruits. However, since this was the first time that he was consuming this as he was stuck at the bottleneck stage, he realized that the impact that it would have on the soul had just triggered promotion. He had already entered the training room. After activating the seclusion circle and the defensive circle, he took out a crystal body that was the size of a skull. Given that two mighty sea creatures (stronger than legendary wizards) had fought each other for it before, he thought that it must be something much more than just regular items. He spoke to the sky, “Can you analyze what this is, research spirit?” The research spirit responded, “Please wait, Master. We’re waiting for analysis.” An energy wave scanned across the crystal body. After ten more seconds, the research spirit’s voice came over again. The research spirit replied, “The database does not contain this kind of item. Master, there is no method to identify this item.” Abel sighed in disappointment. He was already expecting this sort of outcome. He didn’t think that a top-level treasure of this rarity would have a record, not even in the Wizard Union search engine. If the research spirit couldn’t help, Abel might have to do it himself. Having thought this through, he switched on the ability of the world stone fragment to the max, both his cognitive abilities and calculating power. He carefully reached his hand over towards the crystal body in his hands. Inside the crystal body, there was a warm energy like the ocean guided into his body. He didn’t notice this before, but he didn’t dodge it. Neither his instincts nor the world stone fragments sent him warnings, which meant that this unfamiliar energy was not going to do any harm to him. Once the warm energy entered his body, he could feel like a change was taking place. He felt that it was strange because he could clearly sense the energy melting inside of him. Could it be that the two sea creatures were fighting over something useless? That, or that they were fighting for something only meant for sea creatures. Abel couldn’t really believe it, but he activated his body once more. Nothing changed to his power, agility, stamina, and mental strength. Nothing changed. Very quickly, he went on to cast a “firebolt,” but he realized that the firebolt had a 10% damage buff compared to before. He was very surprised. He was only absorbing the energy inside, and not even all of it, but his fire spell had already increased by this much. In amazement, he went on to activate “icebolt” and “charge bolt.” It was also a 10% buff for both of them. Still, this was only the training room. He couldn’t activate the more powerful spells, so he immediately went on to activate the “Town Teleportation Scroll” and opened a portal that led him into the dark world. He took his step and went to the Rogue’s Encampment. He then used the “instantaneous movement” and went to Blood Moor. He found himself a quiet place to be, then activated the fire element “meteor,” “firewall,” “freezing element “blizzard,” “ice sealing balls,” “lightning chain,” and “lightning blizzard.” After going through all of his advanced spells, he made certain of one thing, and that was that all his spells were buffed by 10%. 10% was a big difference in combat. Even 1% was a big difference, as it might just be the crucial difference that would determine whether a defense could be penetrated. Abel went to take out the crystal body once more. He could feel that his mind was starting to heat up. If he was to absorb everything inside, his energy might just be multiplied by even more. He could use the “firebolts” to kill mad knights by then. As he thought about how easy his upcoming fights would be, he smiled widely. Again, he inserted his power of the Will into the crystal body and drew out another warm energy. As he prepared to guide it into his body, the energy returned into the crystal body as soon as it made contact with him. He didn’t think that this was supposed to happen, but when he tried again, it failed. Maybe one the maximum amount of time that the warm energy could be absorbed. Abel couldn’t help but laugh at himself. Maybe he was too greedy. 10% buff on all spells was already as rare as it could get. In fact, he’s never even read about anything like this. Just then, when he looked towards the crystal body in his hands, he could sense that it was sucking mana from the air around him. The warm energy he just expended was recovering at a very slow speed. He wouldn’t have noticed unless without his divinity in the Rogue’s Encampment. The change was too insignificant. Even regular law-defying wizards would not have noticed with their power of Will. Still, it was a fact that the crystal body was absorbing the mana that was within the environment.

Chapter 1129 - Returning To The Holy Continent Chapter 1129: Returning to the Holy Continent Abel couldn’t help but be amazed, “This is close to a national treasure!” The crystal body could be used with no time limit. There was enough energy that all wizards from all groups could enjoy its benefits. If one particular wizard group happened to have more attacking power than other wizards, that advantage would just make them win every time they were to fight those of the same rank. Of course, he would’ve had to let his own contract creatures and summoned creatures use it first. That would almost definitely increase their fighting strength. First, Abel called out Frankenstein. He then used his power of the Will to transfer warm energy into Frankenstein’s body. Unfortunately, it was the same amount he received. He was a bit concerned before using it, but although Frankenstein’s body was made entirely of steel, the crystal body’s effect had most to do with the soul. Following Frankenstein, Abel called out the 12 spiritual guardian wizards and guided 12 portions of the warm energy. The crystal body did not disappoint him as their “lightning chain” damage also increased by 10%. It was the same when he called out Johnson and Jason. The Element casting ability was also buffed. After a round of using it, the energy inside the crystal body grew much smaller. Abel even went as far as to set up a large-size mana gathering circle and placed a crystal body at the center. Inside the mana environment, the recovery speed of the crystal body was multiplied, but it was still very hard to notice. As a matter of fact, the name of the crystal body was the “crystal of blessing.” It could only be formed in a high-stress, high-pressure environment. Normally speaking, most blessing crystals were only be found at the bottom of the ocean. For those sea creatures, it didn’t mean much that the crystals were charged multiple times prior. Their large bodies would allow them to crush these crystals as soon as they bit onto them. The blessing crystal needed the environment to recover the energy that was within. While there weren’t many mana environments in nature, the sea creatures never did complete studies on the blessing crystals. The one that Abel got this time was already found and protected by the giant sea turtle. He was just waiting for the crystal to grow. It was the same as many other rare materials inside the ocean. As soon as powerful sea creatures found them, they would’ve been taken care of so that they could grow naturally. Perhaps several hundred years were too long for most humans, but Abel had a lot of time on him. It was even lessfor sea creatures since that was pretty much just how long it would take for them to take a nap somewhere. What happened during that fight was quite simple. While the giant sea turtle was waiting for the blessing crystal to grow, it accidentally encountered the giant squid, which was attracted by the scent of the dragon turtle giving birth. They had no choice but to fight each other, and Abel ended up being the one that took the treasured item. Abel was able to get it because the three legendary wizards distracted the sea creatures. His transformation necklace hid his own presence. The two powerful creatures pursued the three legendary wizards after detecting that there was no nearby threat, but that’s precisely what allowed Abel to steal the crystal. Having placed the blessing crystal, Abel returned from the dark world back to the central continent’s golden castle. He made sure to speak to his three followers and Butler Meyer about it after adding more potions to the storage. Following that, he used the short-distance teleportation circle and headed to the super teleportation circle. As he stood in front of the main teleportation circle room, Abel felt kind of nostalgic for some reason. He had been thinking about returning to the Holy Continent as early as the new year when the super teleportation circle was built. After opening the door, he went to the teleportation hallroom and saw the interior that was made of special materials. The spell runes that were drawn on the ground made this room especially grand and sacred. He spoke immediately, “Open the super teleportation circle!” Although the super-sized teleportation circle was added after the golden castle was built, the circle used inside only had the golden castle as a foundation. It was combined with the circle system of the golden castle, so naturally, just like the inside of the golden castle, the short-distance teleportation circle could be used such that the circle spirit and the research spirit could be contacted at any time. During this time, on the topmost platform of the golden castle, guests came to visit the legendary light. They could see that on one side of the slope, countless rays of light were sparkling. An advanced class holder spoke to his teacher, “What’s that, mentor?” The teacher called out, “It’s- it’s a super-sized teleportation circle!” Some of the more experienced class holders could also see it. They could all see the super-sized teleportation circle activated, which made them think in admiration about how great Master Bennett’s influence was to own this place. Not anyone with money could just buy a super-sized teleportation circle themselves. You could have all the right materials and hire a professional circle master. Still, without permission from the Wizard Union, the super-sized teleportation circle would be nothing but an extravagant toy. The fact that the circle could be activated proved that the Wizard Union had already approved Master Bennett’s special status. It had really all to do with Master Bennett’s growth. He didn’t have much basis in training, but he could just become the most elite fighter throughout the whole continent with a bit more time. Only those with extraordinary backgrounds could have the privilege to own their own circle on the central continent. Abel could feel the energy around him being activated frantically. The circle rune beneath him was growing brighter and brighter, and his power of the Will was controlling his transformation necklace such that his elegant elven form was reverted to his muscular human body. At the same time, his elven robe was changed into his wizard robe, and the moment he went back to being Abel, the human, his body disappeared inside the teleportation circle. In Liante City of the Holy Continent, a forced teleportation request was sent from the super teleportation circle. This request was made with the highest level of access, which meant that no permission from any party was needed. Wizard Lorenzo teleported towards the teleportation room, “Strange… What celebrity is coming here today?” Whoever it was, Wizard Lorenzo knew that he had to be very careful with his demeanor. Once he went to the teleportation room, he could see that the teleportation ended. He stood inside the teleportation hallroom, and after seeing the white light disappear, he could see people emerging. He was very emotional to recognize the figure, “You’re back, Wizard Abel!” Abel stepped out and looked at Wizard Lorenzo, “It’s been a while, Wizard Lorenzo!” Wizard Lorenzo could definitely sense Abel’s presence, “Your power, Wizard Abel, it-” “I has gotten much stronger after going to the central continent, Wizard Lorenzo. Now I’m a beginner law-defying wizard.” “Master Abel!” Wizard Lorenzo quickly bowed in fright, “I’m terribly sorry for calling you by the wrong title!” Law-defying wizards were like the pinnacle of beings on the central continent, almost like the setting stones of the world. Abel’s age was never a secret on the Holy Continent. As the most well-known genius of all time, every progress he made in his life had been an extraordinary inspiration to all class holders here. Still, no matter how much of a genius he was, Wizard Lorenzo would’ve never guessed that he could become a law-defying wizard, something that was only supposed to exist in myths, according to their understanding. Yes, law-defying wizards were definitely powerful beings to Wizard Lorenzo. The most he’s seen had been law-defying wizards, and that’s what he remembered seeing on the central continent. After all these years on the Holy Continent, he had almost forgotten that this group of terrifying beings exist. He immediately changed his attitude to being very cautious as soon as he noticed Abel’s suppressive pressure. Abel went to hold him up, “We’re friends, Wizard Lorenzo! I’ll also need to thank you for all the care you’ve been providing ot the Kingdom of St. Ellis.” Wizard Lorenzo was a bit embarrassed, “I’m so sorry, Master Abel! I’ve never taken care of the Kingdom of St. Ellis!” Abel never heard anything from Bartoli, “What happened here? What do you mean?” He knew that Bartoli was not going to lie to him. Bartoli’s intelligence system was based on the previous most influential assassin organization on the Holy Continent. It was also the most updated organization with all the regular information the St. Ellis intelligence agency provided. Wizard Lorenzo quickly responded, “Nothing major happened, Master Abel! I just, I might have restricted the development of the Kingdom of St. Ellis!” Abel laughed and spoke, “Well, I made the same arrangements when I left the Holy Continent!” Wizard Lorenzo went ahead and explained, “Your influence is too great, Master Abel! The Kingdom of St. Ellis is now a much stronger state than St. Pierrt and St. Anwall combined. Your officials just made a request recently to sweep the Holy Continent clean a few days ago because of this, but I had to keep those voices down since, well, I am the representative of the Wizard Union!” Abel nodded in approval, “It’s always good to leave yourself with some enemies. Without someone to go against, the empire might just age and crumble until it has no energy left!” Wizard Lorenzo laughed bitterly, “Ha, ha! Your understanding is far better than mine, Master Abel! I just happened to make the same choices because I received a command from the central continent Wizard Union. They instructed that none of the subcontinents should be ruled by just one empire.” Wizard Lorenzo actually had no interest in politics. He’s especially had no interest in running the internal affairs of a state-run by none other than Abel. He would’ve never been a part of this unless he got commands from the Wizard Union. By the way, he had a good understanding of Abel this whole time, but after realizing that this young genius was already a law-defying wizard, he would’ve had no choice but to report it to his higher-ups. He would’ve wanted to antagonize the law-defying wizards that were his supervisors. “So that’s what this is!” Abel started to understand. Because of what happened to the Lance Continent, the Wizard Union became vigilant about another Holy Light Empire unifying the territory and exterminating the Wizard Union. As a subcontinent guardian wizard, Wizard Lorenzo’s instructions were to keep things in order, such that there would always be a good balance between each of the empires. If anyone was to try to unify all the regions, the Wizard Union would come and intercept with their own military might. As far as the Wizard Union was concerned, their ultimate goal was to keep the powers between the empires to an equilibrium. Since Wizard Lorenzo was especially close to Abel (That, combined with the fact that the Kingdom of St. Ellis had no wizard army of its own), he became responsible for warning the officials of St. Ellis to not go overboard. What he didn’t do, however, was to do anything that’d actually reduce the empire’s power in any aspect. Abel laughed and spoke, “You’ve done very well, Wizard Lorenzo. From here on, how about you do as the Wizard Union requested and look after my hot-headed officials for me?” Having heard what Abel said, Wizard Lorenzo was finally able to become more relaxed. Before, he was only in it for his friendship with Abel, but now, he was certain about helping Abel protect the Kingdom of St. Ellis. He realized that he had been speaking to Abel inside the hallroom, “Would you like to take a break inside the union, Master Abel?” This was a very, very impolite request from Wizard Lorenzo. After hearing that Abel was already a law-defying wizard, he started losing his cool.

Chapter 1130 - Returning Home Chapter 1130: Returning Home Abel rejected Wizard Lorenzo’s invitation, but he did not return to his palace in the Kingdom of St Ellis immediately. He was way too powerful to care. If not for his family, he would have given out the throne already. As he stood at the teleportation circle in Harry castle, he caught a familiar smell. The smell of home. “Master, welcome home!” An excited female voice emerged. Abel had encountered many spirits, but none of them had the emotion of the Flora spirit. The Flora spirit was created by merging a powerful ancient spirit and a powerful new spirit. It was actually an abnormal spirit, and Abel only realized that after his days in the Central Continent. “Yes Flora, I’m back!” Abel immediately felt a calmness in his heart. He stepped off the teleportation circle and arrived at the central square of Harry Castle. No one paid too much attention to him along the way. Maybe his robe was too ordinary, or maybe no one was expecting their master to return. He was not the only wizard in the square. In fact, the place was bustling, unlike any remote castle. Not much had changed. Most buildings were quite new, so there was a strong sense of youth to the place. “Young master, my lord, young master have returned!” Suddenly, an old man called. It was Steward Lindsey, the only steward in the world who called him young master. Steward Lindsey quickly stepped forward with eyes full of excitement. The seriousness of a noble he always held by his side was completely abandoned. His words sent a shock to everyone around. They all knew who the young master of Harry Castle was. “The great King Abel!” All the wizards, knights, and normal people dropped to their knees. It was the most glorious name in the Holy Continent. Abel was almost like a god in everyone’s heart. All of a sudden, Abel sensed immense amounts of faith rushing towards him. However, he was not a true god. He couldn’t take in faith without holy objects, and the faith soon faded from his body. Storing faith in the body and using faith to enhance the body was two totally different things. Abel’s rank as a god was too low. He wouldn’t even be able to do the former even if the faith he got was millions of times more powerful. After all, he only had the power of God in the Dark World. Although he was still not a true god, there were a few hundred high elves there to assist his training. Unless Abel turned all the Holy Continent knights into Holy knights, he also wouldn’t be able to use his crystal angel statue to take in their faith. Doing so would anger the wizard union as well as the entire world, so he was not planning to. This place was his home. His family needed a place to live. The reason he was so willing to experiment in the Holy Kingdom was that he only saw those people as resources. “Abel is back!” Abel smiled and waved his hand. He then continued. “There’s no need to bow, this is Harry Castle, not the palace!” Everyone quickly stood up straight again, but the passion in their eyes remained. “Where’s uncle Marshall?” Abel turned back to steward Lindsey and asked. “Master is in the garden!” Steward Lindsey bowed. “I’ll go to see him now!” Abel said and flashed away from the square and left everyone speechless. He reappeared in the garden. The place did not change a single bit. The duke of Marshall was attentive as always. The garden was where his wife was buried; it was his most precious place. Abel saw The Duke of Marshall sitting in front of his wife’s tombstone. His youth was revived with Abel’s potion, but the vicissitude of his eyes remained. “Ivy, the thyme you’ve planted back in the days has now been divided into 360 sprouts. This place will be filled with it when spring comes. I still remember you gifted them to me before I went into battle. They were the source of my bravery. They were what made me a knight!” The Duke of Marshall gently whispered. Abel never knew The Duke of Marshall was this loyal. The Duke of Marshall that he knew was always a lavish playboy. If not, he would not use so many full recovery potions from him. It seemed like the Duke of Marshall was still a gentle guy at heart, and this place was where his true happiness lay. “Uncle!” Abel gently called. “Abel! You are back!” The Duke of Marshall turned with the most genuine smile as he opened his arms “Uncle, I’m back!” Abel quickly stepped up and hugged. Afterward, The Duke of Marshall let loose and asked “Abel, are you going to stay?” “I can only stay for 3 days !” Abel replied. After all, he still had many things to take care of in the Central Continent. “That’s so short. but I’m still glad you are back for now!” A flash of disappointment emerged from The Duke of Marshall but it quickly disappeared again. “Uncle, I’ve built a super teleportation in the Central Continent. So I’ll definitely come back when I’m free again!” Abel quickly cheered up. “Don’t worry about us. Just be careful in the Central Continent. I heard there are many powerful wizards there. Make sure you are good to them!” The Duke of Marshall used his power and learned a thing or two about the central continent and pretended he was a lecturer. “Uncle, don’t worry. No one will mess with me there! Abel smiled. He completely forgot about actually living as an elf there and his wizard identity was still being hunted down. Abel then gathered some flowers and placed them in front of Ivy’s tomb and bowed. “Abel, let’s go back!” The Duke of Marshall smiled and patted Abel on the back. Abel did not move in a flash. Instead, he walked with The Duke of Marshall along the little passage back to the castle. Abel had strong ties to this place. Back in the day, when he first arrived in this world, the Duke of Marshall had given all the love and care he got to nourish him. Harry Castle was his home. He knew every tree and plant in the back of his hand. He arrived at a familiar office, and everything looked exactly the same. They took a seat and Abel took out 2 glasses of water spirit fruit juice with 2 combinations. “My child, you always have the best food and drink!” The Duke of Marshall took a sip and his eyes immediately lit up. The melancholy he carried from the garden immediately faded. He was living the best life he could hope for. Every day he could have the best food in the Holy Continent, a youthful and strong body, and have Ivy by his side. “Uncle, one of the reasons I came back is to change your body. I want to turn you into a wizard!” Abel saw The Duke of Marshall’s mode lifted, so he got straight to the point. “Abel, I know it is not easy to get resources. I don’t want to burden you!” The Duke of Marshall that becoming a wizard took a lot of resources. “Uncle, I’m now a law defying wizard. I have endless resources now!” Abel replied, looking slightly arrogant look. He could only show his childish side in front of The Duke of Marshall. Everyone in the Central Continent would have their jaws dropped if they saw their master Bennett acting like this. “What’s a law defying wizard?” The Duke of Marshall was not surprised at all. In fact, he was curious. Abel suddenly paused. He almost forgot, The Duke of Marshall didn’t know too much about wizards. The most powerful wizard in the Holy Continent was only rank 18. They didn’t know about the law defying wizards, let alone legendary wizards. Abel’s existence was far beyond their comprehension. “Uncle, law defying wizards are wizards above rank 20!” Abel explained. Although it was still hard for The Duke of Marshall to understand, hearing their rank was still clearer than a name he never heard of. “That’s great. Abel, you are now the most powerful wizard in the Holy Continent!” The Duke of Marshall laughed. “Yeah, that should be right!” Abel rolled his eyes. Abel couldn’t help it. How could someone compare him to the wizards in the Holy Continent? Just his 12 spirit guardian wizards alone would be able to wipe out the entire Holy Continent. “Uncle, this is the water of life. Drink it and you will have the body needed to become a wizard!” Abel took out a little jar with a few droplets. “Ok, I’ll drink it. I need the lifespan of a wizard to watch you grow and spend more time with Ivy!” The Duke of Marshall laughed and poured the droplets down. The water of life was a priceless treasure even in the Central Continent. Using it to turn an ordinary person into a wizard was a huge waste. Still, Abel was willing to do so for the ones he loved. After all, the water of life wasn’t that useful to him, and the tree of life would give him some from time to time, considering their relationship. Too bad his Oaktree in the Dark world was not old enough to produce the water of life. Otherwise, he would have as much water of life as the elves. Changing one’s body with it was simple. The water of life was not a soothing substance, and The Duke of Marshall’s body was altered without any pain. “Abel, how come everything around me is so much clearer now?” The Duke of Marshall looked around and realized the world was different. “Uncle, because your power of the will has grown!” Abel smiled and continued as he took out a 20 square meter portal bag. “These potions are for you to use. They should be enough for you to become an elite wizard!” “Abel, I can’t open portal bags!” The Duke of Marshall knew what a portal bag was. They were exclusive to official wizards. “Uncle, I’ll teach you to do your first meditation. Then you can open it!” Abel said with confidence. Abel had given The Duke of Marshall the most amount of water of life he could tolerate, so the growth of his power of the will was substantial. All he needed was to do his first meditation, and he would become an official wizard.

Chapter 1131 - Friendly Exchange Chapter 1131: Friendly Exchange Of course, they couldn’t directly go into the wizard circle behind Harry Castle for their first meditation, The Duke of Marshall wouldn’t be able to take it. Therefore, Abel took out a little mana gathering circle and explained the process of meditation in detail until The Duke of Marshall understood. He then led The Duke of Marshall into the little circle. There was a thin layer of mana, but it was not unbearable to The Duke of Marshall. The Duke of Marshall sat down and began his first-ever meditation. Abel sat by his side and carefully focused on his body with his power of the will. Although meditation was a low risk activity, Abel was still a little worried considering how important The Duke of Marshall was to him. However, the process went smoothly. After all, even the dumbest person would succeed with a law defying wizard with a guide. “Abel, I sensed mana!” The Duke of Marshall opened his eyes and said. Abel smiled. It was best to find The Duke of Marshall a proper teacher from then on. With the water of life in body, The Duke of Marshall’s power of the will was strengthened once again and Abel sensed that he already had the power of a level 3 apprentice wizard. The water of life really was a treasure. Abel couldn’t help but think about Bernie the dwarf. Maybe taking the water of life was all he needed to become a level 3 wizard, not the hard training he bragged about. “Uncle, your body can now take in mana. I’ll take you to the wizard circle behind the castle!” Abel got the unnecessary thoughts out of his head and smiled again. “Abel, I heard that place is extraordinary!” The Duke of Marshall also smiled. Although the wizard circle was behind Harry castle, that place was not for normal people, so the Duke of Marshall never entered it. He would be able to if he was the pinnacle of knights, but he was not. Abel placed his hand on The Duke of Marshall’s shoulder and flashed into his magic tower. They then went through a teleportation circle. Although it was a little dizzying, it was nothing unbearable. When they landed again, they saw that they were within a luxurious elf style magic tower made out of unidentifiable materials. They were located on the top level, the most important place of the magic tower. “Flora, make The Duke of Marshall a user of this magic tower and give him as much authority as me!” Abel said. “Yes master!” Flora replied. “Uncle, from now on you can train here. This magic tower is not like the others, I’ll take you around!” Abel turned and said. The Duke of Marshall was already stunned. All the walls were filled with mysterious patterns he couldn’t identify. “Ok!” Abel’s words brought him back and he immediately nodded. This magic tower was no longer useful to Abel, but it was too important for him to give it out to other wizards. It was a 16 story magic tower he stole from Wizard Hoover. It was a work of collaboration between humans and elves. It would be a decent magic tower even in the Central Continent. Of course, it was still nothing compared to his golden castle. “Abel, this place is beautiful. It’s too bad I can’t invite my friends here!” The Duke of Marshall sighed. After all, what’s the point of luxury if you can’t show it to others? “Uncle, don’t even think about it. This magic tower is the foundation to the 6 star magic circle. The core of the wizard training ground!” Abel immediately warned. He showed The Duke of Marshall around from the top story down and explained all it’s abilities. When they arrived at the ground floor, The Duke of Marshall was attracted by the large teleportation circle. “Uncle, this is a large teleportation circle. You can go anywhere you want in the Holy Continent!” Abel explained. At the same time he gave The Duke of Marshall the permission to use it. “Abel, what more do I need to know about this magic tower?” The Duke of Marshall still didn’t know much about wizards, and he didn’t want to expose something Abel didn’t want him to. “Don’t worry about that too much and just focus on your training. The Flora spirit will be around, and it will take care of your problems!” Abel smiled. Just look around. There was not a single spec of dust even though it has been years since someone lived in it. There were puppets controlled by Flora to maintain the place. “I will now take you to the most important holy object of the Kingdom! Follow me!” Abel opened a big door. They left the magic tower and arrived at an elf style garden. Flora was also maintaining the place very well, and they could see a puppet doing gardening. “Abel how come this place is so warm?” The Duke of Marshall sensed the temperature change. Although The Duke of Marshall was used to magic heaters in his castle, It was supposed to be winter outside. Most of the trees in his garden were dried up besides some vegetables. However, this place was filled with flowers just like springtime. “Uncle, we are actually standing on a platform separated from the world. It had a natural protection shield, which blocked out all the cold wind!” Abel smiled. As the two walked around, they saw many valuable plants. The garden was set up by elves, so flowers were a must. It was a scenery never seen before in winter. As they kept walking, the smell of flowers sifted to their nose. Finally, they arrived at the 3rd goddess statue fountain. “Uncle, this is the holy object I’m talking about!” Abel reached his hand in the fountain water and said. “Is this the mysterious water that allows the crops to grow?” The Duke of Marshall stepped up and dipped his hand in curiously. The 3rd goddess statue still appeared mysterious to Abel even at his current level. He just couldn’t find anything about it in the Central Continent libraries. It was definitely an object for spreading faith. Food was crucial to the lives of all beings, so creating a harvesting miracle was much more impactful than saving a single person. The Duke of Marshall looked around at the garden and turned back to the magic tower. He looked so sad that he couldn’t show off to his friends. “Uncle, I will now let you in on a big secret!” Abel Abel didn’t know what The Duke of Marshall was thinking so he continued to smile. “Flora, raise the battle fort!” The Duke of Marshall’s jaw immediately dropped. The entire elf garden including the magic tower was beginning to levitate under the beaming sunlight. He quickly stepped towards the edge of the battle fort and realised he was already 200 meters above ground. He looked down and his legs began to shake, so he quickly stepped back. The entire wizard training ground was exposed under him as well as the Harry Castle nearby. As they kept raising, they saw the farms beyond. “Abel, are they going to see us?” The Duke of Marshall quickly turned and asked. “Don’t worry. This battle fort is invisible. No one will see us!” Abel smiled. Actually, there was a part of Abel that wanted to show off as well, but he always kept it down. Since The Duke of Marshall was now a wizard. He could be the one to take over. There was no one in this world he trusted more than The Duke of Marshall. He also trusted Lorraine, but Lorraine was an elf Sainte with her own training. The battle fort stopped 1000 meters above and everything below was under their gaze. “Uncle, this is the safest place in the Holy continent. No one will discover it or break it’s defence!” Abel said with confidence. The power of a battle fort was tested by Abel. Even a legendary knight’s Holy crystal could not penetrate it. It might not be invincible, but the most powerful wizard in the Holy Continent was only rank 18. They wouldn’t even be able to make a mark. Abel saw many destroyed battle forts in the dwarves. They were all caused by an attack to the spirit within. As long as the spirit was not damaged, a battle fort would be able to regenerate. Abel saw the joyous look of The Duke of Marshall’s face as he looked below. After all, The Duke of Marshall didn’t want to leave Harry castle, so giving him the magic tower and this battle fort for training could give him a peace of mind. After the thrill died down, Abel landed the battle fort again and arrived at Morton Magic tower with The Duke of Marshall. The Morton Magic tower was 14 stories by that point. It seemed like Wizard Morton was progressing quite well with his resources. Abel had the highest authority, so he directly flashed into the lounge of the top floor. Wizard Morton was making a rune card at the time, and Abel’s sudden appearance made his hands drop. “Abel, how’s everything in the Central Continent?” He threw the failed rune card away and smiled. However, he soon noticed The Duke of Marshall beside Abel and he was stunned. “Teacher, uncle Marshall is now capable of being a wizard. Do you think you can become his teacher?” Abel stepped up and bowed. “Haha, Marshall. You can become a wizard? We’ll train together from now on. No need to call me a teacher!” Wizard Morton laughed and bumped shoulders with The Duke of Marshall. “No need for you to go to my place to have a drink from now on!” The Duke of Marshall laughed as well. It was at that moment Abel realised how deep the friendship between The Duke of Marshall and Wizard Morton had became. Seemed like he would no longer need to worry about The Duke of Marshall’s training anymore. “Teacher, I have a gift for you!” Abel took out a portal bag and handed it to him. Wizard Morton scanned it with his power of the will. Excitement flashed on his face. Wealth didn’t mean much to him, but training resources were never enough. It was a 20 square meters portal bag full of elite wizard training resources. This just showed how many enemies Abel had killed in the Central Continent. Since the dwarves had given him quite a lot of portal bags, those 20 square meters ones didn’t mean much to him. Still, they were already the biggest one in the Holy Continent.

Chapter 1132 - Resources Chapter 1132: Resources “Teacher, how many wizards does the Harry family have now?” Abel poured a glass of water spirit fruit juice for WIzard Morton. Abel had prepared a lot of juice for his teacher. Since they went bad quite easily, Abel turned them all into ice blocks and stored them in his portal bag. “Abel, you can finally meet them now. The Harry Family has 223 wizards. Most of them are personally trained by me so they are very loyal. There are also 800 apprentice wizards!” Wizard Morton replied. “I’m sorry for bothering your training!” Abel bowed. “Haha, I have more than enough training resources to become rank 20!” Wizard Morton smiled and waved. “Morton, your goal is too low. Abel is already rank 21!” The Duke of Marshall interrupted with a laugh. “Abel, you’ve become a law defying wizard?” Wizard Morton jumped up. He was stunned. He was not The Duke of Marshall. He knew what a law-defying wizard represented. “Yes,” Abel nodded. He wasn’t going to show his energy. Wizard Morton was still not powerful enough to bear it. He would need to be rank 17 at the least. “Abel, did you join the Lightning clan?” Wizard Morton asked again. Wizard Morton was a member of the Lightning clan, and he followed his teacher to the Holy Continent, so the Lightning clan always had a strong place in his heart. “Err..” Abel paused, but then he decided to tell the truth “teacher, I am living as elf Bennett in the Central Continent!” “Abel, did you get in trouble again?”The Duke of Marshall and Wizard Morton frowned simultaneously. They understood Abel’s personality. There must be a reason he was living as an elf. There was probably a reason he was living as an elf. “Teacher, Uncle, I didn’t know stone giants were so popular in the Central Continent. I’ve only taken it out once and the law defying wizards are after me!” Abel explained helplessly. “I’m glad you are fine. But didn’t the Lightning clan back you up?” Wizard Morton knew the Lightning clan would not let his disciple get bullied. “There was a crazy law defying wizard, but the past is the past. I’m living very well as an elf, and I’m still training everyday!” Abel smiled. He was planning to tell them that he killed the law defying wizards trying to hunt him down and turned him into his monster. That would lead to a rabbit hole of questions! “Oh right, teacher, I’ve brought some more resources for you. Where do you want me to put it?’ Abel asked. “How many are you going to give me, just put it here!” Wizard Morton said. He gained 2 extra levels in his magic tower, and he wasn’t taking in many new disciples, so he had 5 empty floors. “Teacher, this place is too small. I need a big inventory!” Abel explained. “Abel, who did you steal from this time?” Wizard Morton sighed. He then immediately added, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to the main inventory!” Abel then followed Wizard Morton out of the magic tower with The Duke of Marshall. This place has changed a lot since he left. There were many more wizards and more than 220 new magic towers. Only a wizard restaurant chain monopoly like the Harry family could do something like this with their credit points. No other power in the Holy Continent could even come close. As more and more wizards joined, their standards increased. Cultivating apprentice wizards seemed easy, but they took a lot of resources and time. “Abel, how is it!” Wizard Morton said proudly as he saw Abel look around. Hearing it was nothing like seeing it in real life. More than 220 magic towers basically filled up every inch of land around them. Magic towers could be built anywhere. Of course, they needed a specific location that strengthened the 6-star magic circle and have enough mana and defense. Luckily Abel built a large mana gathering circle back in the days, so mana shortage was no longer a concern. “Teacher, it seems like my resources came in handy!” Abel laughed. Abel’s return spread quickly around the WIzard Circle. They were spotted on their way to the main inventory. So, the wizards began to gather. “Abel, see if this place is big enough!” Wizard Morton stopped in front of a new inventory. It was originally used to store crops, but it was now empty since the temperature had returned to normal and the food shortage was over. It was a 20 meters tall 1000 square meters inventory. It was huge. Abel nodded and began taking things out from his holy portal bag. Those resources were from a dirty source. They were everything the wizard union and big nobles in the Lance Continent had. Wizard Morton saw Abel kept waving his hand as resources began to stack up. It had everything, from potions to crystal cores. Considering the size of this inventory, it was enough to sustain all the wizards in the Holy Continent for the next 100 years. After all, it was what Abel wanted as well. Finally, the inventory was filled to the brim, and Abel organized them with his power of the will. At that moment, Wizard Morton was puzzling how much time it would take for his wizards to divide them into categories. It might take months, and he might need to build a few more inventories. After all, he couldn’t just keep those resources stacked for 20 meters like this. It was the hassle of too much wealth! Suddenly an idea struck. “Flora, add security to this inventory. Don’t let anyone else enter. The Flora spirit was everywhere in the 6 star magic circle, so it responded to Wizard Morton immediately. When Abel, Wizard Morton, and The Duke of Marshall stepped out of the inventory, there were already 10 little war puppets with bursting crossbows on their hands. Wizard Morton immediately locked up the inventory. He was planning to keep them a secret. After all, their source was unknown. It might attract the wizard union’s unwanted attention. Since Abel didn’t say anything, he didn’t want to give Abel more trouble. As for organizing the resources, he could just leave it to the Flora spirit. He laughed at himself. How could he not have thought about this earlier? Just when the three were planning to return to the magic tower, they realized a large group of wizards had gathered outside of the inventory, and they all bowed at Abel. “Abel, seems like the news is out. These are our wizards!” Wizard Morton smiled. Abel saw more and more wizards gathered, and they all lined up in ranks. There were 3 rank 17 wizards at the very front. They all signed a contract with Bartoli, so their loyalty to the Harry family was indestructible. Of course, that was until the day Bartoli died. Bartoli was one of Abel’s most important contracts, and she lived in the assassin magic tower under a mountain. It was separated from the world. Considering Bartoli’s immortal body, she should be able to live forever. Wizard Dena was the most powerful wizard of the 3 rank 17 wizards. He was forced to sign the contract when Abel was only an emperor of the Kingdom of St Ellis, but now he was glad he did. He had a wealth of resources and a 17 stories magic tower. Moreover, he was living extremely well. That was why they looked eternally grateful. Although there were many wizards from the back Abel had never seen before, he could sense their loyalty with his power of the will. They were filled with curiosity and respect but not a single ill intent. After all, Abel was the first powerful emperor with enough might to keep the wizards loyal. Abel was attracted the most by the new official wizards. They were all cultivated by the Harry family, and he could sense a strong hint of passion and excitement in their emotions as well. For someone with the intellect of a wizard, passion and excitement were extremely rare. Then was a sea of apprentice wizards behind the official wizards. Their gazes were mostly filled with gratitude since the Harry Castle was the only large mana gathering circle opened to the public. Normally apprentice wizards would only get the mana needed for their training if an official wizard took them in, but the Harry castle had given them a path to success. As long as they were not lazy and did missions, they would be able to exchange resources. Abel saw the wizards gathered. He then gently sifted out a tiny amount of energy. The power of a law defying wizard immediately lashed out like a mountain pressing against the wizards. In an instant, all the wizards, from the weakest to the most powerful, sensed immense pressure. They could not move, not even twitch. “I am Abel from the Harry family, the emperor of the Kingdom of St Ellis, a grandmaster blacksmith, as well as a rank 21 wizard!’ Abel’s voice spread through the area. Although most of them had a hard time grasping the idea of a law defying wizard, they could understand what rank 21 meant. The 3 rank 17 wizards were speechless, and immense respect emerged from their faces. “The Harry family is not lacking in resources. As long as you are loyal and work for us, you will be treated accordingly. Even if you don’t want to leave the Holy Continent after you become an elite wizard, we will have enough resources to turn you into a law defying wizard!” Abel said loudly. The 3 rank 17 wizards were filled with excitement. Normally 18 was the pinnacle of existence in the Holy Continent due to limited resources, but Abel’s words had broken this rule. Wizard Morton was also stunned because the resources for rank 18 and above resources were not taken out by Abel yet. After all, the reason why Wizard traveled into the unknown was for resources. If their home had enough resources, who wouldn’t want to stay? What they didn’t know was that Abel brought back an ancient garden with enough resources to create the potion needed with the 3rd goddess spring water, As a potion maker, cultivating powerful wizards in the Holy Continent wouldn’t be a problem.

Chapter 1133 - Discover Chapter 1133: Discover Abel was not planning to turn his knights into Barbarians, at least not until he found a truly loyal knight. It was one of those rare nights he didn’t go into the Dark World. Instead, he sat on his balcony of Harry castle and enjoyed the peace and quiet of his home. Suddenly, he sensed a calling from his soul. It was from the guardian of the Harry castle, Barbra. White light flashed, and he appeared underground in front of Barbra. Barbra had grown. Although it was just as ugly, it was still a good girl. Barbra reached a root towards Abel and began to rub against him. “Barbra, are you feeling lonely?’ Abel laughed. “Master, I feel very honoured!” Barbra transferred through the soul. Barbra was the reason why Abel did not constantly worry about the Holy Continent and The Duke of Marshall’s safety. It was the guardian of an ancient temple. Abel might not win against Barbra in a fight even to this day. It had the scary ability to suppress mana around its radius, and spells were extremely important to most professionals. Not only that, but it could suppress the natural energy of a Druid, the qi of a Barbarian, the Holy energy of a Holy knight, as well as the death qi of a priest. Therefore, the physical attacks were the only way to win against Barbra. If not, you would be crumbled by its root like a piece of paper. Abel then took out a top-level green gem. According to the tree of life, green gems were good for all plants. Barbra happily placed the gem by its side, and Abel realized there were 2 extra wizard robes beside it. “Barbra, where did you get those wizards?” Abel was stunned. Was Barbra eating his wizards? “Master, those two tried to invade the castle so I’ve captured them and made myself a meal!” Barbra proudly transferred. “Show me!” Abel said. Afterward, Barbra took out 2 dried-up bodies with a root. Since it only needed to absorb energy, the bodies were intact other than some rips in their clothes. What interested Abel was their robes. Their quality was so good it looked like they came from the Central Continent. He felt his heart drop. His castle was invaded by wizards in the Central Continent? Although he didn’t know the rank of those wizards, it wouldn’t be too low considering they were from the Central Continent. Just consider the wizard circle behind Harry castle, it looked very powerful, but they could only defend against a rank 18 wizard at most. Anything above would be a challenge. “Damn it!” Who is after my home? I will make him regret it for the rest of his life!” Abel lowered his voice. He then turned his gaze to the portal bags of those wizards and reached his power of the will forward. The things inside it were clearly from the Central Continent. The 2 low-level light gems, which confirmed his theory. They were 5 square meters portal bags, and the other things inside them were easy due to their small space. One of them had a potion, and Abel opened it for a sniff. It was for rank 19-20 wizards, which confirmed the power of those wizards. His power of the will kept looking around and finally saw 2 identity cards, etched with a snowy mountain with green color trees. Abel couldn’t recognize which forces they were. After all, there was no need for Abel to use any identity card in the Central Continent. “Barbra, good job!” Abel let out a breath of relief and laughed. A joyful feeling emerged from Barbra’s soul. It loved interacting with Abel. For a guardian of ancient times, a few years was basically like a flash. So they immediately wanted to see Abel as soon as he sensed Abel’s return. Abel stayed for a while with Barbra and began to talk about the interesting things he saw in the Central Continent, no matter if Barbra understood or not. Barbra was a good listener. When Abel laughed, it would laugh with him. When Abel touched on some emotional topic, it would reach out a root and pad him on the back. On the second day, Abel sat in the dining hall and had a familiar breakfast with The Duke of Marshall. “Uncle, your body is now cleansed by a special potion. It is in top condition for wizard training!” Abel smiled as he took a sip of juice. “Abel, don’t worry. I have Wizard Morton for guidance!” The Duke of Marshall was feeling very good as well. Wizard training was something he could dedicate his time to. Not for power but receiving the blurry image he had of his wife. Ever since his power of will increased, he seemed to remember his wife a little clearer. He even had a dream of her yesterday. As for the training result, Abel had given him many Dark Gold potions in the Portal bag. There were instructions on how to use those potions, so The Duke of Marshall knew he was in for a smooth journey with the help of Wizard Morton. On top of that, Abel’s full recovery potion had cleared out all the hidden injuries in his body, so his progress as a wizard would be even faster even if he didn’t know. “Uncle, in the future I will tell Bartoli to send you some elite wizard potions and you can talk to the teacher about how to distribute them!” Abel said in a relaxed tone. “Yes, I’ll learn how to manage the wizard circle!” The Duke of Marshall nodded, The Duke of Marshall was starting to let go of affairs of the common world ever since he became an apprentice wizard. Although he still needed to reach rank 3 before getting confirmed by the wizard union, it was just a matter of time. At the end of the day, it didn’t really matter to him. Even as the duke of a kingdom, all he wanted was to live in his castle with his wife, who had passed. The reason he didn’t help Abel manage the kingdom was because he didn’t want to leave his castle, but the wizard Circle was right behind him. The two continued to chat, and all the table manners were out of the window. Steward Lindsey also did not say a word. Instead, he couldn’t help but smile as he watched this intimate bond between a stepfather and son. “I’ll come back more often and I’ll take you for a walk to the Central Continent when you are powerful enough!” Abel gave The Duke of Marshall a hug after the meal. “Abel, I’ll be an official wizard next time you come back!” The Duke of Marshall laughed and padded Abel from the back. Meanwhile, all the lords had gathered in the Denan city palace, waiting for their emperor. Abel was set to visit by noon, and all the servants worked overnight to make sure the area was spotless. Afterward, they changed into new clothes. All the lords on their business trip had returned as well. There was only one great name in the kingdom, and it was their great emperor Abel. When the news was made public, the entire Denan city was lit up with excitement, even in the middle of winter. The streets were filled with civilians as soon as they got the news. No matter what, all they wanted was to catch a glimpse of their emperor. “The great emperor of the Kingdom of St Ellis, Abel majesty!” Steward Bart called as Abel entered the palace with a smile. He was wearing a tight leather vest with a golden cape, and the crown on his head signified power. The lords bowed as Abel took a seat at the throne. “I’m very satisfied with the energy and prosperity of the Kingdom. Thank you!” Abel looked around at the lords and gently bowed. “It is our honour, my great emperor Abel!” The lords replied, “I will only stay for 3 days. I hope the kingdom will continue to prosper for the foreseeable future!” Abel smiled. “Majesty, why don’t you stay longer?” Minister Bennett asked. “Father, I have business to take care of in the Central Continent. But, I promise I will come back more often!’ Abel smiled again. “That’s great. The Kingdom needs you!’ Minister Bennett bowed. “I am no longer involved with the politics of the kingdom and I’m not planning to talk about it today. If there is a powerful enemy, just tell me and I’ll take care of them” Abel continued to smile. “Majesty, our kingdom is not bully, and no one will mess with us!” Ministry Brook added with a bow. The original Harry family was now a part of the royal family. Minister Earl Brook and Minister Bennett were both the closest people to Abel. The words of Minister Brook send the lords laughing. The Kingdom of St Ellis’s power really was chilling. “Your Majesty, our knights really want some actions, can we destroy the other 2 Kingdoms?” Head commander Bodley stepped up and bowed. As the head of the knights, war was constantly in his mind. With their current power, taking over the entire continent shouldn’t be a problem. “Bodley, everyone. Please listen, this is the map of the Holy Continent and the size of each kingdom. It will remain this way for the foreseeable future. The wizard union will not allow a single kingdom to take control of an entire continent!” Abel strengthened his voice. “Yes, your majesty!” Head commander Bodley bowed. The knights were useless without war, but still, they had to obey their emperor. Abel had another plan for the knights, but he wasn’t planning to tell head commander Bodley just yet. Since traveling the continent was now made easy to him, he would pick out some outstanding knights for experiments in the future. However, there was still some time to go. “Everyone, I will give the kingdom another spirit to manage things. The spirit’s will represents my will, so I don’t want anyone to disobey it. On top of that, I will give this spirit the authority to control the sky ships and distribute the wizards!”

Chapter 1134 - Installing The Lance Spirit Chapter 1134: Installing The Lance Spirit The meeting in the palace did not last too long, and Abel arrived at the balcony looking over the streets of Denan City. It was filled with people gazing back at him. “Long live the great emperor!” They began to cheer. Abel stayed for a while. After the cheer subsided, the people all looked at him with passion and excitement, waiting for him to make a speech. “My citizens, as your emperor, I traveled to the Central Continent not because I didn’t want to live in this Kingdom, but because I needed to seek higher power to protect this kingdom! It was nice to see all your happy and healthy faces! Although I don’t have time to get involved in politics, I will still make sure all of you have enough food, warmth, and powerful troops as protection. From now on, you can proudly declare you are a citizen from the Kingdom of St Ellis!” Abel’s voice covered the city. A few years ago, the city was in chaos because of food shortage, and Abel’s troops had changed all of that. By that point, their kingdom had already become the most powerful, and it was not going to stop for the foreseeable future. Their emperor was a legend of the continent, and his story was known across all families. There was no god in the Holy Continent, only Abel. The citizens began to tear up. They were the only kingdom with skyships in the sky—the only one with the power to keep the orcs locked up. Abel did not stay for long. All he needed was to show his presence, and his goal was archived. The city was livelier than ever. The streets were filled with countless people cheering and dancing. Abel, on the other hand, arrived at his lounge and met up with the most powerful figures in the kingdom. The first ones to arrive were his father Minister Bennett and his big brother Zack. After years of being in power, the confidence Minister Bennett had was like a totally different person compared to the knight he was. “Father, there’s no need to bow. We are in private!” Abel saw his father about to bow so he quickly stepped up to help him up and then nodded to his brother. “Abel, how powerful are you now?” Minister Bennett asked. After all, Abel’s power was the power of the Kingdom. “Father, no one in the Holy Continent can stop me!” Abel smiled. He did not go into detail, they were basically beings of totally different levels. “Then I’m happy!’ Minister Bennett smiled. “Father, I can turn you, mother, and zack into wizards!” Abel didn’t want to talk about the kingdom and got to the point. Minister Bennett’s face sank. He knew about wizards, they were supposed to be detached from the common world. It was a law. Abel was an exception because he was initially a grandmaster Blacksmith who only became a wizard because of trading with the dwarves and finally became an emperor. Abel’s path was almost impossible to replicate. Therefore if Minister Bennett was to become a wizard, he would have to let go of his Minister role. Although he would be prestigious still, the all-mighty feeling he gets would begin to fade. As Abel’s father, his role was basically like an emperor when Abel was not around. It was just that the higher military power was controlled by a spirit. “Abel, I don’t want to be a wizard. My family is living very well. I don’t want any change!” Minister Bennett lowered his voice. Abel was a little speechless. He was not expecting his father to pick power over longevity. After all, wizard training was not easy and nobles would often get lost in power instead. Abel did not ask his big brother Zack since Zack would only follow in his father’s footsteps. “Father, if there is anyone in the family who wants to become a wizard, just tell me!” Abel said helplessly. Abel was a part of the Harry family spiritually and lawfully, not the Bennett family. This was the case ever since Minister Bennett gave Abel to The Duke of Marshall. Therefore, Abel had no right to pressure Minister Bennett. After all, people had different lifestyle preferences. Abel sighed. If his father liked that, he would give him more. “Father, Zack, let me take you somewhere!” Abel placed his hand on their shoulders and said. He flashed, and they reappeared in the dungeon of the palace. The place was a huge mana gem mine, so Abel wrapped his brother and father with his power of the will to protect them. He then took out the Lance spirit from his holy portal bag and connected it to the teleportation circle. Minister Bennett didn’t know what Abel was doing but he knew that thing was a treasure looking at its mysterious glow. Abel gave the Lance spirit the highest authority in the kingdom. It was now in charge of everything outside of Harry castle. As you know, there were many spirits in the kingdom, just the palace alone had a few. Although most were weak, they formed a network in the Kingdom. Back in the days, Abel demanded teleportation circles in all cities to make sure they had a tight connection and troops could reach them when danger arose. This is where the Lance spirit came in handy. “Father, this is the Lance spirit, a very powerful spirit. It can analyse all kinds of data and make the best decision. It will know as soon as there is a problem!” Abel explained. “So this thing can take care of the entire kingdom?” Minister Bennett was shocked. “Father, I’ll add another rule to this spirit. Every member of the Bennett family can use the power of the Lance spirit!” Abel smiled. Since the Bennett family didn’t want to become wizards, this was a gift Abel gave them to secure their power for eternity. Of course. The Lance spirit still had its limit. “What can I do with the Lance spirit?” Minister Bennett was confused. “I will organise some wizards to install surveillance circles in all cities. With the Lance spirit, you will be able to look through that information. It also has the power to control sky ships, so you can use them to protect the family when needed!” Abel explained. Minister Bennett knew the power of knowledge. It could help the authorities make the best decisions and spot enemies before they strike. As long as the future heads of the Bennett family was not stupid, they would be masters of politic. Most importantly, the skyships were a special force in the Kingdom. They were operated by dead warriors of the family and their loyalty was bound by a contract that lasted for eternity. Therefore, it was impossible for another to operate a skyship, and another one who tried to steal them would be killed by its spirit. Even without an operator, skyships could still attack using lightning spirals. “Abel, thank you for everything you’ve done for the Bennett family!” Minister Bennett was touched. He didn’t know if Abel had made the right choice, but he was sure that Abel cared about them. After Abel said goodbye to his father and brother, Head commander Bodley stepped in and dropped to one knee. “Bodley, just take a seat!” Abel waved his hand. It had been years since they saw each other, but head commander Bodley looked the same. He had already reached the pinnacle of knights so he just dedicated all his time to managing the troops. “Bodley, I wanted to see you today because I have something to ask!’ Abel smiled. “Majesty, please do!” Head commander Bodley bowed. “Bodley, I want you to pick out the 100 most loyal and powerful knights!” Abel lowered his voice. “No problem. I can give you 1000 if you will!” Head commander Bodley said loudly. “No need to rush. Just 100 knights you trained personally is enough. I will sign a magic contract with them the next time I return to the Holy Continent. They will be a part of my quest to find a future path of knights!” Abel smiled and shook his head. Since Abel existed as a legend on the Continent he had many loyal supporters in the military. Even if he demanded a group of knights who would die for him countless would volunteer. “The future of knights?” Head commander Bodley’s eyes began to sparkle. He thought he had already reached the pinnacle, but Abel’s words gave him a ray of hope. “I still need to do some experiments. I will give you some potions to make sure the body of knights you pick are as strong as orcs!” Abel added. “Your Majesty, how about a head commander like me as a test subject?” Head commander Bodley said bluntly with excitement. “I will help you level up after my experiment is successful. But for now, I don’t want my head commander to die because of a mistake!” Abel rejected. Head commander Bodley left with a smile on his face. He was planning to start picking the most powerful knights as soon as he got back. As for loyalty, it shouldn’t be a problem. Who wasn’t crazy about Abel after all. He met a few more lords afterward about the Lance spirit. Although the investigation department didn’t know how the Lance spirit could help them. It was just a matter of time until all spies of the Kingdom were discovered by it. Most importantly, if the Lance spirit had all the data, it would be able to predict important trends such as the food needed for each city, if businesses are avoiding taxes and even the movements of the other 2 kingdoms. This would make the law enforcement department’s job a lot easier. With the Lance spirit, the Kingdom would gain an invisible eye. Anyone who dared to offend the law would be punished. When a powerful enemy was spotted, the skyships would be used. If the enemies were even more powerful than the skyships. The Lance spirit would contact Bartoli and Bartoli would contact Abel. This was why Abel no longer had to worry about the safety of his kingdom.

Chapter 1135 - Wine Party Chapter 1135: Wine Party Abel could no longer let himself relax after he returned to the palace. All of the Holy Continent wanted to see him as soon as they heard about his return. He had to organize a wine party. Even without invitation, it would be filled with guests. The Kingdom of St Pierre’s prime minister Chesterton attended the party on behalf of their useless emperor, and the Kingdom of St Anwall’s emperor Aldous attended the party personally. On top of that, the dwarves, orcs, and elves also sent out their top authorities to attend this prestigious party. Although wizards were not supposed to make contact with the common world, the ones Abel knew in the wizard union also attended. Abel was wearing an ordinary robe without a crown to appear more down to earth. The close relationship Abel had with some of his guests back in the days had slowly faded. Not because he wanted to, but because of the reality of their power. Yes, Abel was a law defying wizard, and this news was spread around the Holy Continent by the Kingdom of St Ellis. How could they not? This was why so much power had gathered. Abel was the first truly powerful figure coming from the Holy Continent. Even those who managed to travel to the Central Continent normally only rank elite wizards. Abel’s breakthrough as a law defying wizard had broken this curse and gave the future a lot of pressure. This was also why the heads of the other two kingdoms had to attend as well to show their respect. If not, they would not be able to sleep at night. In the past, the wizard union could maintain sovereignty in each kingdom, but Abel was too powerful at this point. “The great majesty Abel . You are so powerful that my heart is trembling. I’m worry for Kingdom of St Pierrt’s future!” Prime minister Chesterton bowed. Emperor Aldous was beside him as well. He didn’t say anything, but his bow suggested the same. “Emperor Aldous, Prime minister Chesterton, I’ve said it before. I like peace. I won’t and I never will start a war. I will just protect my Kingdom!” Abel clearly. If he really wanted to start a war, the other 2 kingdoms would be gone already, even if the Wizard Union in the Central Continent had a problem with it. At the same time, Abel wasn’t planning to expose his Master Bennett identity just yet. “The great majesty Abel, thank you for the peace of the Holy Continent and wealth for civilians!” Prime minister Chesterton exchanged gaze with emperor Aldous and smiled. Just when they were planning to chat with Abel for longer, Wizard Lorenzo, WIzard Sterton, and WIzard Allenby stepped up. Since the heads of the two kingdoms got what they wanted, they bowed, and the 3 wizards took their spot. “Wizard Abel, I think those two are scared!” Wizard Allenby smiled and bowed. “I never planned to provoke the other 2 kingdoms!” Abel smiled back. “They just don’t understand the concept of a Law Defying wizard. Even all the resources in the Holy Continent gathered together would not be enough to train a single law defying wizard!” Wizard Lorenzo shook his head. He was on a guardian mission in the Holy Continent as a rank 17 wizard, and he was planning to return to the Central Continent to obtain more resources for a breakthrough after his mission finished. The other 2 wizards besides him were going to do the same thing. Wizard Lorenzo knew the limit of resources in the Holy Continent, and creating truly powerful wizards was impossible. Abel smiled and did not say a word. He was not like normal wizards. He still had a strong passion to live. He fought for his family, friends, and his kingdom. It was not something a wizard who grew weary of life could comprehend. “WIzard Abel, I will return to the Central Continent in 5 years. Do you think we can meet again?” WIzard Sterton interrupted. Guardian missions were often very long. Although they could not get many training resources, they still had a good amount of credit points accumulated. Therefore, guardian missions were perfect for wizards who preferred to do research than going into battlefields. On the other hand, they were also good for wizards with enemies in the Central Continent who needed a place to hide. Each guardian mission could go for 300 years. It was not long for an elite wizard, so most would have enough training resources prepared to maintain their power. Wizard Sterton was the second kind of wizard. He offended a wizard organization in the Central Continent, so his family sent him to the Holy Continent. He still had 5 years to go, and he was worried if that wizard organization was still after him. After all, 300 years was nothing to wizards. Just not long ago, 2 rank 20 wizards came to the Holy Continent and searched for him. He had to go into hiding, but somehow those 2 rank 20 wizards suddenly disappeared. Therefore, he needed a powerful figure like Abel to protect him. That wizard organization would definitely not offend a law defying wizard. “Wizard Sterton, we are friends. Just tell me if something is troubling you. I’ll help you take care of it!” Abel knew what Wizard Sterton was suggesting, but he was not planning to reject him. “Mr Law defying wizard Abel, I’ve offended an elite wizard from the Snow Spirit mountain 300 years ago. They wanted to capture me, so my family had no choice but to send me to the Holy Continent!” Wizard Sterton said honestly. “Wizard Sterton, that Snow Spirit Mountain is still after you after 300 years?” Abel bit his lips. He was only 20 years old. He couldn’t imagine how a grudge could last for 300 years. “I thought they forgot about me as well, but just some time ago they sent 2 rank 20 wizards to the Holy Continent to search for me so I went into hiding!” WIzard Sterton continued. Abel felt his face tensed up as soon as he heard about 2 rank 20 wizards. Were they the ones captured by Barbra? “If you can help Wizard Sterton, please do so!” Wizard Lorenzo bowed. “Please!” Wizard Allenby bowed as well. The 3 wizards had lived together for 200 years, so they were quite close. For a law defying wizard like Abel, normal rank 17 wizards had no right to ask for his help. Their relationship in the past was like a favor Abel needed to pay back, which would fade with each helping hand. “Don’t do this. I just have a few questions to ask Wizard Sterton, and I will make a decision when I;m done!” Abel said blankly and took out the identity card of 2 dried-up dead bodies in his holy portal bag and said. “Wizard Sterton, are those the wizards from the Snow Spirit Mountain?” “Yes!” Wizard Sterton was certain with one gaze. A wizard’s identity card was made with special magic patterns. They were impossible to replicate. “Snow Spirit Mountain!” Abel mumbled, and a cold gaze flashed from his eyes. “Mr Wizard Abel, where did you get those identity cards?” Wizard Sterton asked carefully. He just couldn’t help himself. There was only one explanation for why Abel had those Snow Spirit Mountain identity cards. He killed them. Although Abel didn’t seem like he knew about the Snow Spirit Mountain, Wizard Sterton felt his heart lifted. After all, Abel was a law defying wizard. He needed no explanation for killing them. “Wizard Sterton, I’ll take care of it for you. If the Snow Spirit Mountain doesn’t give me an explanation, you will never see them again!” Abel said with confidence. He didn’t care who they were, every powerful organization knew about him, and they were all his friends. Although he was known as Master Bennett, he was more than capable of destroying a wizard Organisation without another saying a word. “Mr Wizard Abel. Don’t underestimate the Snow Spirit Mountain. They have one law defying wizard in their organisation as well!” Wizard Sterton warned. Wizard Sterton wasn’t expecting Abel to fight. He just wanted him to be a middle man and speak up for him. “WIzard Sterton, this is actually my business as well. The Snow Spirit Mountain sent 2 rank 20 wizards to my Harry Castle. If I didn’t have my back up, I can’t even imagine the outcome. So I am planning to destroy the Snow Spirit Mountains anyway!” Abel clenched his teeth. Wizard Sterton was stunned. Rank 20 wizards were powerful even in the Central Continent. Since Abel was not around when the rank 20 wizards invaded, it meant that his backup was the one who killed them. Most importantly, those 3 guardian wizards didn’t even know about it. Little did the wizards know, Barbra even had the ability to absorb souls, so the rank 20 wizards didn’t even have a chance to create their soul beams.

Chapter 1136 - Recruit Chapter 1136: Recruit Wizard Lorenzo, Wizard Allenby, and Wizard Sterton could imagine how scary Abel was. Abel was only rank 16 when he left the Holy Continent. But the backup he left back then could already kill 2 rank 20 wizards. It was a chilling thought. At the same time, they turned towards Abel with a fiery passion. Wizards on guardian missions like them often did not have power backups. Therefore, being friends with a powerful law defying wizard was everything they could hope for. Wizard Sterton was no longer thinking about how Abel could help him but how he could fully serve Abel. “Mr. Abel, can I have the honour to work for you?” Wizard Sterton bowed. His heart was pounding, but it was an important decision, one that dictated his future training. But he knew he had to ask now. Once Abel returned to the Central Continent, they might never meet again. Even for a small wizard organization, their law defying wizards would only show themselves once every few hundred years. Abel was caught off guard. He was powerful, but his identity was a secret. Especially since he had a bond with the goddess of the moon, the tree of life, and the elves. “Wizard Sterton, my identity in the Central Continent is a secret so I can’t accept your offer. But i will give you 2 choices, one is to serve under Harry Castle which I will pay you correspondingly with resources and mana gems! The second is to return to the Central Continent 5 years later and I will ask a friend to take you in!” Abel thought for a moment and said. “Mr. Abel, so you want me to train wizards for you in Harry Castle and you will provide me with the resources needed?” Wizard Sterton’s eyes sparkled. This could dictate his future life, so he had to consider it carefully. “I’ve put down a lot of resources during my visit this time, including the resources required for a rank 20 wizard. Of course, when the time comes, I will take you to the Central Continent for more!” Abel smiled. He wasn’t afraid of the Wizard union when it came to this. He couldn’t keep himself a secret forever anyway. As Master Bennett, the Wizard Union had always turned a blind eye on him. “Mr. Abel, I want to serve under Harry Castle!” Wizard Sterton made his choice and immediately bowed. He came from the Central Continent, and he knew how harsh the training conditions were without a powerful organization as support. Even completing the guardian mission as a rank 17 wizard, he would only get enough resources to increase by a rank. Obtaining resources just by cultivating future wizards was a dream. There was no need to battle, no need to take risks, and no need to form grudges. However, Wizard Sterton was not aware of a great missed opportunity. What Abel meant by ‘ask my friend to take you in’ was using his Master Bennett identity to take WIzard Sterton in. Abel kept quiet: telling him the truth would be a pain. Wizard Sterton was very happy to stay in the Holy Continent. There were not many elite wizards in the Harry Castle, so Abel needed someone like Wizard Sterton as a teacher anyway. He also did not leave behind any wizard guides. All the ones he got were way too advanced for Harry Castle. When rank 19 and rank 20 wizards began to emerge, he would give them the guides for the law of fire and law of ice. If he gave them too much to do at once, it might undermine their training. “Wizard Sterton. Come take a look at my family wizards. If you have time during the remaining 5 years of your mission, I will pay you correspondingly!” Abel smiled. He couldn’t care less about resources for a rank 17 wizard. It was worth it if Wizard Sterton was willing to teach. “Headmaster, I will give it my all to cultivate new wizards for you!” WIzard Sterton suddenly changed the way he addressed Abel. Wizard Lorenzo and Wizard Allenby exchanged gazes of admiration. Unlike Wizard Sterton, both of them were already a part of a powerful organization. But still, they were already thinking of a way to leave their organizations and join Abel. After all, the only reason they took risks was for training resources. Soon, the 3 rank 17 wizards saw wizard Dunn approaching from afar, and they knew it was time for them to go. They bowed and left. They had already gotten more than what they expected. “Abel, you’ve become a law defying wizard?” Wizard Dunn. He had confirmed with Wizard Morton, but he was still in disbelief, looking at the young look on Abel’s face. He was not surprised when Abel became rank 16, since progress was nothing too extraordinary in the Central Continent with enough resources and a bit of luck. But, becoming a Law defying wizard in just 6 years of training was definitely mind-blowing. If anyone could become law defying wizards with just resources alone, the Central Continent might be filled with them already. Grasping the power of law was not easy. It took bravery, resources, talent, time, and dedication. “Yes, Wizard Dunn, that’s correct!’ Abel nodded with a smile. Wizard Dunn was his teacher’s teacher, and WIzard Dunn had taken very good care of him when he first arrived at the Central Continent. “You are a true genius!” Wizard Dunn exclaimed. Abel smiled. He never thought of himself as a genius. He only had an entire Dark World as support with enough Hell creatures to kill. It might look like it had only taken him 6 years to reach where he was, but it had actually been training for hundreds of years in the Dark World due to the time difference. He also had an ancient holy object, the Horadric Cube. Which never failed to give him resources superior to him. He was not a genius; he was just lucky. “Wizard Abel, I heard you have the resources for a rank 18 wizard. Do you think I can exchange some?” Wizard Dunn asked. Of course, he heard about it from his disciple Wizard Morton. They were basically closer than father and son. However, Wizard Dunn could only arrange fair trades with Abel. After all, they did not have time to develop a bond. Wizard Morton had control of a lot of resources, but they belonged to Abel, and he was not going to use them on personal matters. “Wizard Dunn, do you want to become a head wizard for the Harry Family?” Abel smiled. Although Wizard Dunn was a part of the Lightning clan, he was basically a retired veteran. If it weren’t for Abel, he would not become a rank 18 wizard, and he would be dead from old age already. Still, he knew his potential was coming to an end. He had given the desire to return to the Central Continent. Resources for a rank 18 wizard were not easy to get even in the Lightning clan unless he continued to risk his life on missions. However, a fire in his heart was lit up again when he heard that Abel had enough resources to turn someone into rank 20 wizards. With that, he might be able to break through if he gave it a shot. “Wizard Dunn, I already have a portion saved. I would have give it you even if you didn’t ask!” Abel smiled. He thought for a moment and then formed a barrier with his power of the will so the others couldn’t hear them talking. Afterward, he took out 20 power potions and 20 mana potions. “This is?” Wizard Dunn couldn’t recognize the potions, but it shouldn’t be anything ordinary considering it was from a law defying wizard like Abel. “The red ones are power potions. They can heal any injuries. The blue ones are mana potions, they can replenish mana. This is the benefit you will have as the head of my wizards!” Abel smiled. “Headmaster Abel, potions with the power to replenish mana exist?” Wizard Dunn picked up a bottle with his jaw dropped. He never heard about anything with the ability to replenish mana even when he was in the Central Continent. He then turned to the power potion, and it seemed like it was extraordinary as well. “Wizard Dunn, they are life savers for you. Only the few most powerful organisations in the Central Continent have access to those potions!” Abel reminded. He didn’t want Wizard Dunn to use those potions up for no reason. After all, even law defying wizards in the Central treated them like treasures. Abel’s words made Wizard Dunn tense up as he carefully put the potions back in his portal bag. “Headmaster Abel, are you a member of the Lightning clan?” Wizard Dunn was curious. “Wizard Dunn, I was, but now my identity is hidden because of certain circumstances!’ Abel thought for a moment and explained. “Headmaster, I wish you the best!” Wizard Dunn nodded. He knew how dangerous the Central Continent was. The Abel he knew wouldn’t turn on the Lightning clan, so he must have his reason. He had no right to criticize the choices of a law defying wizard anyway.

Chapter 1137 - : Inheritance Chapter 1137: Inheritance It was a busy day in the Holy Continent for Abel, and the guests finally left at night. He asked some of his closest friends if they wanted to become a wizard, and their reply was shocking. They were all living very well, and none of them wanted to leave the common world in pursuit of wizardry. Wizards were mysterious and powerful, and being detached from the common world was not something everyone could tolerate. Wizard training could take more than hundreds of years, and getting stuck in a bottleneck was very common. Only a small number of talented individuals could rise to the top. Therefore, not many were willing to take this risk. After all, they were all living very well with their own family. Abel looked at the water of life he brought with him with an awkward smile. The only portion he gave out was for The Duke of Marshall, and that was only because The Duke of Marshall didn’t care about status and just wanted to stay in Harry Castle forever. Abel shook his head. The water of life might not come in handy now, but it would definitely have a chance for his family wizards in the future. “Lance spirit, lock my room, don’t let anyone disturb me!” Abel yelled. Soon, 10 little war puppets surrounded his room as energy sifted out from the giant protection circle. Abel took out a scroll of the town portal and opened a blue portal. He then stepped in to continue his battle with hell creatures. Early next morning, Steward Burbridge and the servants began to work in the Denan City palace. It had been a long time since they operated, so they had to be extra careful. Abel stepped out of his room with a slightly tired look lingering. Even with Mad Night Bruce on the team, the battles were just as hard. 10 days of non-stop fighting was draining, especially since he was risking his life at every moment. He couldn’t make a mistake since he was no longer fighting for himself but his family, his loved ones, and his Kingdom. “Your Majesty, the food is ready!” Steward Burbridge bowed. Abel scanned the food with his power of the will. The food was complemented with rabbit essence, the water spirit fruit juice he brought back from the elves, as well as the fruits from Orwell palace. It seemed like his steward spent a lot of effort into it, and he didn’t want it to go to waste, so he smiled at the chefs and servants as he ate his meal in the dining hall. “Steward Burbridge, I’ll leave soon. Please take good care of the palace!” Abel said. “Majesty, I am forever yours command!” Steward Burbridge bowed. The most honorable thing Steward Burbridge had ever done in his life served Abel, and he hoped his offspring could do so as well. Abel then looked around at the servants bowing at him. Everything felt alienating. As a law defying wizard, being an emperor was like playing a child’s game. Just like that, Abel disappeared under their gaze in a flash of white light. He arrived at the assassin union headquarters in the forest through a teleportation circle. It was where Bartoli’s magic tower was. He did not surprise the member of the union and flashed into her magic tower without anyone noticing. “Master, you are back!” Countess Bartoli had been waiting for him. Abel gave her a look and realized she was already a rank 18 wizard. Bartoli was a true genius, and the progress was extraordinary. If Abel’s progress wasn’t by the song of life in the Dark World 3 times in a row, there was no way he would be a rank 22 dragon druid and a rank 21 wizard. The only spells other than ‘telekinesis’ and ‘move in a flash’ Bartoli could do were fire spells. Her body was altered by hell, so she had a super close bond with fire elements. So, there was no way she could master spells other than fire spells unless they were extremely low level. After all, she lived with the flame of hell for tens of thousands of years. Even Abel was no match to her when it came to knowledge on fire. “Bartoli, I’ve brought you a fire wizard guide. Take a look!” Abel said as he took out a full fire wizard guide in a box replicated by the research spirit. He didn’t want to change Bartoli’s path. He was no fire expert due to how fast he progressed, so he had no right to make another suggestion. The most important section was the enlightenment of law-defying wizards, which was the foundation of all fire wizard organizations. “Thank you master!” Bartoli held the box in her hand and bowed. She opened the box and flicked through the books in detail. Her eyes began to sparkle. The instructions for her future path were extremely clear. “Bartoli, this is an eternal flame from hell. You will need it when you become a law defying wizard!” Abel took out the flame and placed it on the ground. Bartoli was caught off guard for a moment. She had stayed with those flames for tens of thousands of years, and she was reminded once again of the tremendous scenes she saw. The destruction of mankind, the evil of human nature, and the slaughter of hell were all nightmares that haunted her. But then, she remembered how her master had saved her from hell and brought her to this world of peace. For her master, she would remain on guard forever. It was like living in a dream, with the seemingly unlimited supply of resources from his master. She trained madly and finally reached the pinnacle of the Holy Continent. Although she didn’t know how her master’s progress was even faster than her, she sensed a hint of terror mixed with holiness from him. If their souls weren’t bond together, she would definitely have mistaken Abel as a man from heaven. The only explanation she could give was that heaven had arrived and left a scent on her master. Therefore, all she wanted was to get even more powerful to protect her master. With countless years of fire knowledge, she was confident in her progress. “Master, I’m running out of resources. Can I come with you to the Central Continent?” she asked. It was the first time she ever asked Abel for anything. “Bartoli, this is the reason I came back. But before that, I need to leave something here. I hope you can take in a loyal disciple and keep them a secret!” Abel smiled. He then took out 3 boxes from his Holy Portal bag. 2 of them were the guides for the law of Ice and the law of Lightning. The final one was his documented experience of being an alchemist and blacksmith. He couldn’t leave behind the Ice inherited object, the ice bed, as he needed it for his own training. But still, he had more than enough resources to create a secret backup for his family. It was the tradition of big families. Bartoli put away the boxes. They were not really her business anyway. What she needed were fire resources. “Follow me!’ Abel then added. They arrived outside of the magic tower, and Abel opened the barrier circle. Although Bartoli was the master of this magic tower, Abel also had the highest authority since he was her master. After they were separated from the world, Abel summoned Doff. “Doff, make a hole in the ground!” He pointed and said. Doff roared and heavily struck down with its ancient totem. White beams blasted out, and a scary force plunged into the ground. However, it did not stop. Since it was connected with Abel through the soul, it knew exactly what Abel wanted next. It unleashed another strike, and the 6-meter deep hole it created on the ground gotten even larger. With the club technique, Doff’s control of his ancient totem was immaculate. It was almost like the hammer of a blacksmith as it continued to strike. Finally, a 15 meters deep 5 meters wide hole was opened up. “Doff, nice job!” Abel smiled and padded his chest. The excited Doff was gone once again. “Follow me!’ He then turned to Bartoli. The two appeared in the hole with a flash. The ground was made out of tough soil with almost the density of rocks, so you could just imagine how scary Doff’s strength was. Abel surrounded a big chunk of soil below him with his power of the will, and they were put away in his Holy Portal bag. He continued to flash as he kept increasing the size of this underground hole. With the Holy Portal Bag, his power of will become the best digger. Just like that, a huge space was opened up underground. Due to the fragility of the land, underground water began to sift out. However, Abel’s goal was achieved. He directly took out the portable nurture base from his Holy portal bag. Since it had been put away for a while, it had absorbed a lot of energy from Abel’s top-level gems. If it was put away for just a little longer, it might start to run out of energy. The space he opened up was exactly the size of the portable nurture base, which was why Abel was not worried about the soil collapsing. Bartoli was shocked, but she kept quiet as Abel did his moves. “Bartoli, follow me again!” Abel placed his hand on Bartoli’s shoulder and flashed into the base. Suddenly, a garden filled with sunlight appeared in front of her. Abel did not let Bartoli stop to admire the view. Instead, he flashed again and arrived at the operation room below. “Nurture spirit, add Bartoli as an operator!” Abel said. Afterward, a green light beamed upon Bartoli, and her power of the will was recognized by the spirit.

Chapter 1138 - : Installing The Portable Nurture Base Chapter 1138: Installing The Portable Nurture Base “Bartoli, this is the nurture spirit and this space is called the portable nurture base. It is a natural breeder for potion ingredients. I found it in an ancient sight!” Abel explained to Bartoli, whose jaw was wide open. “Master, are you saying this place can make potion ingredients naturally?” Bartoli’s eyes began to sparkle. “Yes, I’ve brought the seeds for the rank 18 and above potion ingredients. Once they are ready, it can make them!” Abel added. Seeds like that were too low level for Abel, but he still exchanged some from the Potion maker Union. After all, the base could only work with seeds and energy. Abel then took out 20 boxes of puppets with hundreds of seeds separated into different slots, including the ones for the main ingredients. Abel could easily get the normal ingredients from other places, but since he was planning to keep the nurture base a secret, he needed them besides the main ingredients. He didn’t want to attract unwanted attention by moving large amounts of ingredients around. After all, the Wizard Union didn’t know he got something like this, and the 3rd goddess spring water he was about to use was combined through the Horadric Cube. Since the food shortage of the Holy Continent was over, he was no longer using as much spring water. There would be more for potion making once he left the Continent, which was crucial for his wizards. “Nurture spirit, scan this formula!” Abel took out some books and placed them on the table. They were prepared for the nurturing spirit to learn. The scanning began. “Master, formula recorded!” The nurture spirit replied. “Nurture spirit, begin breeding!” Abel said again. “Yes master!” The puppets began to climb out of boxes with the seeds. They formed into grinds and began planning on the fields. He already had the mana resistance potion ingredients taken care of by the high elves in Blood Moor, so it was not included in the nurture base. “Let’s take a tour!” Abel said at Bartoli, who still looked stunned. The two walked around as the puppets began to get busy. The water used was the 3rd goddess spring water combined through the Horadric Cube. Abel did not have time to waste; he just needed to make sure Bartoli knew how to operate the base and how the nurture spirit worked. Since that spring water had a special effect on plants, the newly planted seeds began to grow at a rate one could see with a naked eye. Unlike crops, it could be used right away. Abel dwelled in the base with Bartoli for 6 hours, and the first batch of ingredients was ready. Abel was surprised as well. He was expecting it to last for a day at least. What he didn’t know was that the soil of the base was not normal soil. They were rare treasures with the ability to regenerate energy to assist the growth of plants for tens of thousands of years. There was enough for Abel to make 500 bottles for four types of rank 18 and above potions. After an hour, they ended up with 2000 potions in front of them. Abel left some for Bartoli and sent the rest to the Flora spirit in Harry Castle through the assassin union to let it distribute. Normal master potion makers would need months to complete something like this, but Abel had done so in an hour. It was was why even legendary wizards couldn’t help but look at Abel in a different light and treat him with respect. “Master, can I learn to make potions as well?” Abel saw how effortless Abel moved and asked. “Of course, one of the boxes I’ve left includes my potion making knowledge and experience. Take a look if you have time!” Abel smiled. He had more than enough 3rd goddess spring water, so letting Bartoli have a try was not a problem. Abel was certain. His wizards would no longer run out of potions in the future. Even without his Horadric cube, normal spring water would be able to sustain one batch a month. With this rate, he might even want to lower the production. He underestimated the power of this portable nurture base. After all, this thing was from ancient times during the war. Abel was not wrong. The portable nurture base was crucial for potion making during times of war where they needed vast amounts of potions. There were also growth boosters in the past to increase their plants’ growth rate, but the formula for them was long lost. After the war was lost, they immediately destroyed important information like that to avoid their enemies obtaining them. Since Abel’s 3rd goddess spring water had the same effect, the scary potential of the portable nurture base was fully unleashed. Abel began to wonder if he should plant all the potions needed for a wizard’s journey from beginning to end in this base. Considering its speed, the wizards in Harry Castle would be self-sufficient. “Bartoli, I still have some time today. Let’s go back to the magic tower and I’ll teach you how to make potions!” It was only 4 pm, and Abel still had some time. After they returned, Abel spent an hour telling Bartoli about the foundation of potion making and gave her a full set of master alchemy tools. Abel was stunned at Bartoli’s talent. Even without the Horadric Cube or the Worldstone, she successfully made a beginner-level hunger potion in one go. Afterward, Abel settled things with Bartoli and arrived at Liante CIty. “Mr. Abel, are you returning to the Central Continent?” Wizard Lorenzo saw Abel and immediately bowed. “Yes, I can’t stay away from my business for too long!” Abel smiled. “Please, after you!” Wizard Lorenzo bowed again. Abel stepped into the super teleportation circle as wizard Lorenzo helped him ignite it. Soon, vast amounts of energy gushed out in the teleportation room. “Best wishes!” Wizard Lorenzo bowed again. He did not charge Abel a fee not because the teleportation was free but because Abel’s 10 restaurants in Linate City had accumulated more than enough credit points over the years. All he needed was to ask the Kingdom of St Ellis. Just like that, Abel left the Holy Continent. But his impact remained. The rank 18 and above resources he left in the Wizard union had a fire lit in the eyes of all Union members. At the same time, the news of 2 rank 20 wizards dying in Harry Castle began to spread and the few ill intent people immediately scrapped their plans. After all, Abel was a law-defying wizard. Of course, not to mention, Wizard Sterton had become a target of envy after he became a member of the Harry Family. After a month, his energy took a leap forward. What did it signify? Everyone in the WIzard Union knew. However, WIzard Sterton was not the only one, Wizard Dunn as well. It was the aftermath of finally obtaining enough resources after years of training. Because of this, many elite wizards were already thinking of joining the Harry Family the next time Abel returned to the Holy Continent. Most of the wizards in the Holy Continent were a part of the wizard union and depended on their resources. But not the ones from the Harry family. As long as they were responsible and completed their mission, they would be able to get the resources they need. They were a self-sufficient group that no longer needed the wizard union. Bartoli’s potion-making skills also progressed tremendously during the month and she gained a stable supply of low-ranking potion ingredients from the assassin union network. She also had a success rate of 1 out of 5 when it came to intermediate potions, so she was basically an intermediate potion maker. Although she still had a beginner alchemist pattern, the resources she had access to were greater than what Abel had back in the day. Therefore, it wouldn’t be long until she became an official intermediate potion maker or even an elite one. When the day arrived, she would be able to make the training potion she needed by herself. As an immortal, her potential was limitless. Meanwhile, the Portable nurture base had finished using up the Horadric Cube 3rd goddess spring water, and it began to use normal 3rd goddess spring water. Larger amounts of potion ingredients were accumulated. More than enough for all elite wizards in the Holy Continent. Just like that, the Kingdom of St Ellis began to change. Surveillance circles were installed in every city and a new network was created with the Lance Spirit acting as an invisible observer.

Chapter 1139 - Informed Chapter 1139: Informed Abel reappeared from the super teleportation circle. His face began to shift into an elf. He put on his usual elf clothes and long robe. This trip to the Holy Continent brought him peace of mind, but he gained a new identity card. “Snow spirit mountain!” He mumbled with murderous energy. The ones he loved the most were all in Harry Castle. It was his home. If someone wanted to invade his home, his castle, they would pay with blood. In a flash of white light, he appeared in his office of the golden castle and took out his master potion maker badge to ignite a display from a table. Even with his unlimited access to the potion maker union mission network, he rarely used it. The Wizard Union’s network was more convenient to get large amounts of resources and trade. His power of will quickly scanned through and found it a special page exclusive to elite forces. It was an information page. Although it was not the most credible thing, it was still decent for elite forces to look at. He wanted to know about the snow spirit mountain. The snow spirit mountain had one law-defying wizard and a decent-sized team of wizards—quite powerful for a small wizard organization. It was quite a new wizard organization, which was why Abel never heard of them. If they wanted to progress into a medium-size wizard organization, they would need to accumulate their power for at least a few hundred years. Abel put away his master badge and began to wonder about their motivation for invading Harry Castle. Since they sent out 2 rank 20 wizards, it meant they were taking it very seriously. Seeming like the snow spirit mountain would not give up, rank 20 wizards were extremely important in any forces. Even an organization as powerful as the Lightning clan didn’t have many rank 20 wizards, and each of them would be the captain of a team. Most of Abel’s power was gathered in the elves, and his 3 followers could easily get things done around their radius, but investigating the snow spirit mountain was a different story. “Research Spirit, connect me to Wizard Clemens!” He thought for a moment and said. It was best to seek an expert. He wouldn’t be able to escape the wizard union if he was to make a move himself anyway. Abel was very good with the heads of the Wizard union, and they were regular customers for Abel’s potions, so taking down a small wizard organization wouldn’t be a problem. He already destroyed the Blizzard clan with the Lightning clan as support anyway. “Haha, Master Bennett. It’s rare for you call me isn’t it!” WIzard Clemens laughed and emerged from the communication circle. “Wizard Clemens, I have a little problem, and I want your help!” Abel laughed as well. “Master Bennett, just speak up, we are friends!” Wizard Clemens continued to laugh. He was still trying to stabilize his relationship with Abel. Although he attended Abel’s party, he did not spend much time with Abel compared to the others. Therefore, he was happy Abel asked him for a favor. “Wizard Clemens, as you know, I came from the Holy Continent. Recently I discovered the snow spirit mountain sent 2 rank 20 wizards to the Holy Continent, I want to know their motives!” Abel said honestly. “Master Bennett. Please give me 2 hours and I’ll give you an answer!” WIzard Clemens let out a breath of relief. It was not a challenge for him at all. As the head of the investigation department, he could know anything about any wizard organization just by looking at their teleportation history and who they were with before they left their city. It was the reason why the wizard union could maintain the order of this world for so long. Nothing could escape their sight. They didn’t even need to send out an investigation team. Wizard Clemens had a vague memory of the snow spirit mountain. They were quite energetic for a small wizard organization. They had been trying to expand their forces and picking fights with other small wizard organizations. They were basically the trouble makers of their rank, which was why the wizard union had an eye on them. The investigation department already penetrated the interior of the snow spirit mountain long ago. It was just that they were not doing anything against the law, so they couldn’t make a move. So, even if Wizard Clemens was using the resources of his department for personal affairs, he didn’t feel too shameful about it. He also knew about Master Bennett’s relationship with the legendary wizards, and Legendary Wizard Dolan was saved by him, so no one in the wizard union would not reject doing this small favor for him. The commands were sent, and the investigation department began to work. Not only was the snow spirit mountain’s information dug up, but anything related to their wizards was also analyzed. Slowly, with the expertise of the investigation department, the truth was starting to surface. Meanwhile, Wizard Clemens sat at his desk with a glass of water spirit fruit juice in his hand, which he got directly from Steward Myer. It was made with the water spirit fruits in Blood Moor, but not the combined ones Abel gave to his followers and Lorraine. The taste and texture of the normal ones were not as good as the combined ones, but they were still the best in the continent. Steward Myer himself also had access to the combined water spirit fruit juice. Although he was not a professional, drinking them could still energize his body. 2 hours passed quickly, and an organized report was placed in front of Wizard Clemens. Wizard Clemens gave it a quick scan and immediately frowned. “Does the Snow Spirit Mountain want to die?” But it had nothing to do with him anyway. They were just a small organization. He would take them down regardless since Abel requested. He ignited the communication circle and connected with Abel once again. “Wizard Clemens, how is it?” Abel smiled. He trusted the investigation department, and Wizard Clemens must have his answer. “Master Bennett, I believe you already know that the 2 rank 20 wizards the Snow Spirit Mountain sent out to the Holy Continent did not return right?” Wizard Clemens looked at his report and said. “Of course, they will stay their forever!” Abel lowered his voice. After all, it was just 2 rank 20 wizards. Abel wouldn’t get in trouble even if he said he was the one who killed them. “Bad luck to for them then!” Wizard Clemens laughed and continued. “The snow spirit mountain’s law-defying wizard Luce was excited when they heard about the magical ability of your food and found out there was something similar in the Holy Continent from a wizard from the Blizzard clan. Although he didn’t need to send out 2 rank 20 wizards on paper, he heard from that Blizzard wizard that 2 rank 17 wizards had died in the Holy Continent. Therefore, he did what he did just for safety’s sake. Since his 2 rank 20 wizards did not return, Wizard Luce was already planning to head to the Holy Continent by himself soon!” Abel was caught off guard. He was not expecting his food to cause so much trouble, especially since not many people know about it. The Blizzards were almost wiped out because they got too greedy for his food, but they still had a few leftover members. It seemed like this was the sequel. If the Blizzard clan were completely wiped out, no one would be able to tell Wizard Luce about it. “Master Bennett, Wizard Luce is quite powerful, do you need help?” Wizard Clemens suggested. His intention was clear. If Abel needed help, he would join. He knew about the scary power of master Bennett and his connection with different forces. If he was willing, even gathering hundreds of law-defying wizards wouldn’t be a problem. After all, Abel did save more than hundreds of law-defying wizards in the Defence wall of Doomsday. “Thank you for the offer Wizard Clemens, but I am fine by myself!” Abel said. He didn’t want another to get involved. He was a law-defying wizard himself with the dead bodies of 9 mad knights. Since a law-defying wizard wanted to die, he would take his body as well. Abel knew his bottom line. He did not kill for pleasure, so getting the body of a law-defying wizard was not that easy considering his relationship with the WIzard union. The bodies of wizards who died in the front line were all returned to their organization or family. Abel couldn’t wait. There was no way he would let a law-defying wizard roam around in the Holy Continent, his home.

Chapter 1140 - Snow Spirit Mountain Chapter 1140: Snow Spirit Mountain If it weren’t so late today, Abel would’ve just returned to the Snow Spirit Mountain and kill them all. Instead, as usual, he returned back to the dark world and trained for a total of ten days. In the morning, he would return from the dark world to enjoy his breakfast in the dining room. After his meal, he would use the short distance teleportation circle to head to the “starlight defence circle,” where he would make a stop at the Fire Tooth Battle Fort. The Fire Tooth Spirit said immediately after seeing Abel, “Welcome, Master!” Abel ordered, “Go look for the Snow Spirit Mountain.” Very quickly, a holographic map appeared in the middle of the operation room. There was a mark at the top, and green lights continued to flash. Abel’s eyes focused on the green dot, “Depart as soon as it is located!” Like a giant ghost, the Fire Tooth Battle Fort flew up from the starlight defense circle and headed towards the Snow Spirit Mountain. As the four components of the Fire Tooth Battle Fort were switched on, all it took was three hours for Abel to see the mountain that he was hoping to see underneath. The Snow Spirit Mountain was a tall mountain. Like the picture on his identity card, the top of the mountain had snow piling on it for years. The top was mostly covered in white. Amidst the white that was on the top, an ancient building was standing tall at the centermost part. Anything below that was filled with buildings and people. The buildings were piled up in a way that resembled an entire city. Abel pointed towards his elder sign card, “Battle command spirit! Scan the mountain and tell me the results!” The battle command spirit replied, “Yes, Elder.” A strange wavelength came sweeping across the mountain from top to bottom. The battle command spirit replied, “The defensive circle has been detected at the top. Scanning cannot be done. Most on the waist and the base of the mountain were common people and some apprentice wizards!” Abel shook his head. He thought it was wizards that mostly lived on the mountain, and he was just starting to get worried about having to kill so many wizards on his own. However, it seemed as though he’d thought too much. The Snow Spirit Mountain was just another small wizard organization. Even with a law-defying wizard of their own, it would still take them several hundred years to grow to their current size. Actually, the most that Wizard Luce could even do was to go after organizations that were even weaker than the Snow Spirit Mountain. It’d be impossible if they wanted to expand in the short run. Abel went ahead and unleashed twelve of his spiritual guardian knights and twelve of his spiritual guardian wizards. For the spiritual guardian wizards, especially because he’s been using the blessing crystal on them, they were actually not that much weaker compared to rank 20 advanced wizards. If anything, the “lightning chain” that these wizards could use was even scarier. Abel went ahead and called out the Beamon giant beast Doff and Frankenstein. Following that, he allowed the Fire Tooth Battle Fort to descend. Once the fort reached a spot that was 50 meters away from the tip of the mountain, Doff used “scream” and “combat system” to boost the entire team. Abel spoke to all his minions, “Doff, break this circle open for me!” As soon as Abel appeared, his dragon druid presence was completely unleashed. The spiritual guardian knights and the spiritual guardian wizards would then cooperate with each other and continuously surround the tip of the mountain with the lights they were emitting. After hearing Abel’s command, Doff let out a terrible cry and teleported itself onto the defensive circle. It raised the ancient totem up high and slammed onto the defensive circle’s barrier. Following the sound of glass breaking, the Snow Spirit Mountain’s defensive circle began sparks of stardust and disappeared in the air. Meanwhile, Abel’s dragon druid presence rushed into the ancient building that was protected by the defensive circle. As though shocked by the overwhelming presence, sounds of people falling down were starting to come over. This was one of the few times that Abel defeated his opponents with just his presence. His current dragon druid was now rank 22. It was very easy to suppress an entire small wizard organization. If he wasn’t afraid of Wizard Luce escaping, he didn’t even have to prepare his spiritual guardian wizards and spiritual guardian knights to wait for an ambush. A magnified voice quickly came out of the building, “Who are you? Is there some sort of misunderstanding between us? I’m Wizard Luce, Law-defying Wizard Luce. I’m the master of the Snow Spirit Mountain!” It was easy to tell Wizard Luce’s mood. According to the information from the Wizard Union, Wizard Luce should be a rank 21, and that would indicate that Abel’s dragon druid essence was not going to make him feel very comfortable. While it couldn’t defeat Wizard Luce immediately, it would be very effective in weakening him. Abel glanced at Frankenstein. It understood what Abel was trying to say, and it teleported him into the ancient building. Wizard Luce said loudly, “No fighting! We can negotiate! Yes, negotiate! If I’ve offended you in some way, sir, I’ll pay you the price you offered!” He stopped talking very quickly. Frankenstein got close and began the fight. Abel was just standing outside the ancient building. He wasn’t going to get inside. There was no telling how many mechanisms were inside this kind of wizard building. He’d rather bring the whole place down than see what traps were inside. Frankenstein was different, of course. It had no need to worry about the mechanisms. Wizard Luce was very confused the whole time. He had no idea why he was attacked. He had no idea how the defensive circle was broken through. Most importantly, he had no way of dealing with someone who’s this powerful. He’s bought this large-sized defensive circle from the Wizard Union, and while it had four top-level gemstones and 500 intermediate gemstones inside, all it took was one hit for all the defense to be ruined. He had no idea. Apart from the legendary wizards, Doff was the strongest being in this world, especially against a static target like the defensive circle. As long as the ancient totem could activate the divine power that it contained, all defense was futile. Wizard Luce pretty much gave up immediately. He wasn’t too afraid, though. He could tell that the enemy was a big druid. He was never afraid of big druids because, well, big druids were supposed to be the weakest against a law-defying wizard like him. Without the ability to teleport, it wouldn’t matter how strong this attacker was. Wizard Luce knew that he could just leave. Still, given a choice, he would prefer resolving this peacefully. That was until Frankenstein went in and attacked him. As soon as it located his whereabouts, Frankenstein threw an “ice sealing bolt” at Wizard Luce. The ice sealing ball flew at him and made several ice bolts burst. The wizards that fell around to Abel’s presence became instant victims of it. Wizard Luce screamed, “Damn you! I’m going to kill you!” As he said that, Wizard Luce threw ice-sealing balls towards Frankenstein. He noticed that Frankenstein was also a rank 21 law-defying wizard. This was a common method in wizard fights. They would use the exact same techniques against each other, and if one side turned out to be better, the other one would fall back. This was where the higher-leveled one would have an absolute advantage, which was why it was always so important to have all attack spells to max level as a law-defying wizard. This was a different case seen here, as both spells thrown against each other were already at the max level. Wizard Luce had always considered himself an absolute genius. He thought that he was brilliant for leading an entire small-sized wizard organization. He had never seen any rank 21 law-defying wizards better than him, and he was planning to make the Snow Spirit Mountain wizard organization a big-name organization. Back to the fight. As Wizard Luce paid attention, he could see that something strange was happening. The two ice sealing balls were hitting against each other, but the law-defying wizard in front of him, with a sword and shield in his hands, was already breaking through his ice sealing balls and flying towards him. He had to cast the instantaneous movement to leave, but the wizards that were around him would have no protection. When the ice-sealing balls were detonated, the nearby wizards were suppressed quickly. They’ve got no choice but to dodge, or they would be killed immediately. Two advanced wizards were killed. Two streaks of the soul light rushed towards the sky. “Why? Tell me why!” Wizard Luce screamed. He didn’t know who the Snow Spirit Mountain offended. He didn’t think that he could win against the wizard in front of him, so he had to talk this through. He didn’t know, though. What organization would dare to attack a wizard group with its own law-defying wizard? Didn’t they think of the possible consequences? Instead of casting any more spells, Frankenstein teleported right next to Wizard Luce. The “spirit” sword in his hand slashed downward. Wizard Luce was very confused. What kind of law-defying wizard would swing a blade like this? However, he wasn’t sure that he could use his own defensive spell to block the blade, so he decided that he should just use the “instantaneous movement” to move somewhere further. Frankenstein’s “spirit’ sword swung heavily at Wizard Luce, but Wizard Luce teleported away just in time. The wall was broken, though. Wizard Luce was giving up all attempts to attack back because it just wasn’t possible to end a fight like this. Fights between law-defying wizards were always tricky. As the “instantaneous movement” was always the best way for law-defying wizards to move around, it’d be a very tricky situation if they were trying to move against each other. Wizard Luce suspected more enemies. Still, he didn’t know what organization had both a law-defying wizard and a big druid. He couldn’t stay and fight because he couldn’t protect the Snow Spirit Mountain with a law-defying wizard here. However, before he left, he needed to know who attacked the Snow Spirit Mountain Organization. He had faith that within some time, he could just recover himself to the point that he could track down whoever decided to do this. With that in mind, Wizard Luce decided not to waste too much time with Frankenstein. His shadow quickly appeared outside of the Snow Spirit Mountain Wizard Organization, right on top of the ancient building. The first he saw was a Beamon giant beast that was about 10 meters tall. It had a very big steel hammer in its hand. Next to it was an elf. At the headquartered building, there were 23 creatures in black that were staring at him. He wasn’t sure what the black creatures were, but he knew who the Beamon giant beast and the elf were supposed to be. That’s Master Bennett, the legendary potion master. Beside him was Doff, the being that could easily kill any mad knights. Everything was starting to be clearer. Wizard Luce sounded a lot weaker than he wanted, “Why are you attacking the Snow Spirit Mountain, Master Bennett?” He didn’t want to be too pushy because if he offended Master Bennett, he would have no place to go anywhere on the central continent. No, he would just be hunted down by all the major organizations. The Wizard Union would not provide any protection for him. His only choice, by then, would just be to hide somewhere and never come out.

Chapter 1141 - Hit To Kill Chapter 1141: Hit to Kill Law-defying wizards had demands for resources. Wizard Luce was no exception. He didn’t want to be a hermit for the rest of his place. He wanted to know why Master Bennett was heading over to the Snow Spirit Mountain. Master Bennett looked like he was trying to decimate the entire Snow Spirit Mountain. Abel withdrew his suppressive pressure, “I’ve got no quarrel with you and your mountain, Wizard Luce, but the moment you try something on the Holy Continent is when you cross my boundaries!” Wizard Luce’s face paled as he began to understand. He should’ve known earlier. The Holy Continent had restaurants serving the same food as Master Bennett. When he first learned about the effects of those foods, he realized immediately that Snow Spirit Mountain would want this. Still, since the Snow Spirit Mountain was not privileged enough to make it to get access to the food, he had to resort to sending out two of his advanced wizards as undercover customers. So what were the two undercover customers doing? Well, Wizard Luce’s thought that the Holy Continent would not contain anyone stronger than rank 18, but the two advanced wizards were killed. He was very afraid, actually, that Master Bennett would come after him to ask about this. After waiting for a few days, he was surprised that he didn’t hear anything of the sort, but today, he saw Master Bennett at his base. What made Wizard Luce give up was pretty much what Master Bennett said. Wizards always had conflicts with one another, but the most serious of them wasn’t for resources or personal grudges. No, the worst conflicts would always happen if it was related to the families and influences behind the wizards. If the family of the wizards was targeted, the wizards would always be a subject of discrimination and prohibition. If one law-defying wizard was to antagonize another law-defying wizard, and they decided to kill the friends and families of each other for it, wouldn’t the continent be in complete ruin because of it? To the Snow Spirit Mountain wizard organization, the Holy Continent was almost like a powerless regular person. If Abel didn’t do anything to arm the Holy Continent, nothing else produced over there would hurt the two rank 20 advanced wizards. It’s a really scary situation, in that sense, that the two advanced wizards were just marching over there to rob his recipes. By the way, could they just be after his recipes by going to the Holy Continent? No! They would have to kidnap someone important first and force some secrets out. More importantly, they would never keep the ones they kidnapped alive. Wizard Luce tried again, “I’ve never inflicted any loss on you, Master Bennett! Actually, I can pay you to resolve anything you are dissatisfied with that were between us!” If he didn’t have to, Wizard Luce would not want to abandon his Snow Spirit Mountain. There were just too many important things that he didn’t want to lose. “Frankenstein, on the side!” Abel ordered. Frankenstein’s been going around the ancient building for a while now. As four streaks of the soul light rose inside the Snow Spirit Mountain wizard organization headquarter building, it came back to Abel while standing beside. Abel said calmly, “You are a classholder, Wizard Luce. You should understand the rules of the continent. If you’ve done something against my subcontinent, you should be ready for my revenge!” Wizard Luce got very loud, “You are strong, Master Bennett! I can see that. There’s also a law-defying wizard here and a frightening, frightening Beamon giant beast, but do you think that’s enough to get me?” Abel stood silently and watched what performance Wizard Luce had left. No, he’s not going to show mercy here. He needed to make his point clear. Also, he could do with another corpse of a law-defying wizard. Wizard Luce tried again, “If… If you abandon the Snow Spirit Mountain now, Master Bennett, I’ll pay everything I can for your loss.” Abel was still standing there silently. He wasn’t talking. Wizard Luce started yelling like a madman, “You want to be my enemy, Master Bennett? I swear, I’ll kill everyone you know! You won’t be able to stop me every single day!” Abel replied with a sneer, “You overestimate yourself, Wizard Luce. You think you can leave this place?” As he spoke, Abel unleashed an “aging” spell that he prepared. At the same time, the rank 22 dragon druid essence rushed towards Wizard Luce. Wizard Luce was already prepared for this, but his “instantaneous movement’ was already lagging behind. He was still prepared that he could leave. However. Even if he was a bit slower, he still had the “instantaneous movement” spell scroll that he could use. If the big druid still had any spells left, he was sure that nothing would be quick enough to hit him. While trying to retain his consciousness against Abel’s suppressive pressure, Abel drew an “instantaneous movement” rune and unleashed a rain of curse. With the buff of the “oak heart” and the “spirit” shield, the rate of the spell was already faster than any big priest. Nevertheless, wizard Luce could feel something heavy. His body was like a powerless old man. All his movements slowed down, and he realized something strange. Master Bennett should be a druid, so why was he casting a priest curse?” Still, Wizard Luce had to think about escaping. So, he activated the “instantaneous movement” spell scroll that he had and disappeared in white light without hesitating. He escaped towards was not where the spiritual guardian knights and the spiritual guardian wizards because they felt slightly weaker. And so Wizard Luce went ahead. He’s gained a lot of distance away from Abel, Frankenstein, and the Beamon giant beast, Doff, very quickly. He couldn’t help but feel very glad, but at the same time, he knew that he had to be careful. Just when he unleashed the “instantaneous movement,” he also fully unleashed his rank 21 law-defying wizard presence. The way he thought about this, as soon as the instantaneous movement he was casting ended, his wizard presence would just bring those strange enemies down. He thought wrong, though. He was a rank 21 law-defying wizard, but the spiritual guardian knights and the spiritual guardian wizards were on the same level as their master. They were ranked 22. If Wizard Luce was targeting just one of them, there might be a bit more effective, but to hold down all of them would be too obvious. Ahead of Wizard Luce was a pile of silver-white lightning. The frozen armor on him was quickly dispersed. During this time, at least five spiritual guardian wizards were casting the lightning chain on him. It did interrupt him from casting another instantaneous movement. The lightning zaps were making all his hairs stand. Wizard Luce didn’t think that the spiritual guardian wizards would be casting the lightning chain, which was something that the lightning wizards could cast. They couldn’t hurt him underneath his frozen armor, but it would stop him from casting any of his instantaneous movements. What made him more desperate was that twenty-something more enemies were preparing against him to attack at any point. Worse yet, Wizard Luce couldn’t distinguish the spiritual guardian knights and the spiritual guardian wizards apart. This couldn’t be blamed on Wizard Luce. Hybrid summon creatures like this were not very often seen at all. Only druids and priests could tell what the original forms were, really. Also, now that Wizard Luce was under the effect of the “aging” curse and was surrounded by the spiritual guardian knights and the spiritual guardian wizards, he had a lot of trouble moving. Now, the Fire Tooh Battle Fort was also directing him with the weapon system. Abel seemed to be doing fine. He was confident that he wouldn’t let go of Wizard Luce at the very start, actually, given that he was already casting the curse of a priest. While Wizard Luce was still doubting, the twelve spiritual guardian knights surrounded him and pushed with their blades. The frozen armor on Wizard Luce responded to the attacks by chasing an icebolt. This wasn’t supposed to do a lot to the spiritual guardian knights. The level 30 “command skeleton” and “summon resistance” were making them something extremely tough to fight against. On the other side, the twelve spiritual guardian wizards never stopped attacking. The “lightning chain” was constantly being cast. Abel revealed a smile on his face. The spiritual guardian knights and the spiritual guardian wizards were finally starting to be able to contribute. They could now be a real threat to law-defying wizards of this level. Of course, they still needed him to cast an “aging curse,” but that’s still very fine. Wizard Luce cried in anger, “What monster is this?” He didn’t understand. A weak enemy such as this had the same ability as a wizard to teleport. He was starting to understand. These enemies could be divided into two groups. One was the ones that were supposed to deal with physical attacks, and although he should be theoretically safe under his frozen armor, the truth was, he already had several small wounds on him because the “steel” swords had the ability to tear enemy wounds at 50% chance. The other ones were spell attacks. The ones that were scary, too. Wizard Luce didn’t want to die, not especially against these weak beings. He screamed and screamed, knowing that the frozen armor on him would break eventually. He cried out loud, “Give me a chance to fight you, Master Bennett! Let’s make this fair!” Abel said calmly, “You’re fighting me right now, Wizard Luce.” Abel was telling the truth. Wizard Luce was fighting his summoned creatures, so naturally, Wizard Luce was fighting him. Wizard Luce thought that he still had the “instantaneous movement’ spell scroll on him, and he inserted his power of the Will back into the portal bag. However, his body was constantly interfered with by the “lightning chain.” The lightning chain was making his power of the Will tremble. Without a steady supply, he couldn’t even activate the “instantaneous movement” spell scroll on him. Abel shook his head, “Frankenstein! I want the whole body intact!” Frankenstein’s body disappeared. Following that, under the surrounding of the twelve “spiritual guardian knights,” ten-something lightning chains continued to attack like they would on the Land of Lightning Fall. Still, these lightning chains were doing nothing to Frankenstein. Frankenstein reached out his hand and broke through the very, very thin “frozen armor” that Wizard Luce was wearing. It grabbed him by the neck, and very quickly, a pillar of the “soul light” rose up to the sky.

Chapter 1142 - Scavenge Chapter 1142: Scavenge Abel watched the soul light rise from Wizard Luce’s dead body. He started to feel kind of emotional. Several years ago, he almost died trying to fight Wizard Malon. If it wasn’t for the oak tree, he probably would’ve never won. Now, however, against a law-defying wizard of the same level, he didn’t even need to do the fighting himself. All it took was his spiritual guardian knights, and spiritual guardian wizards, for Wizard Luce die easily. After killing Wizard Luce, Frankenstein teleported right next to Abel. Abel’s power of the Will was scanning across Wizard Luce’s corpse. Abel took the portal bag over and looked inside for a bit. Abel couldn’t believe that it was a bag inside, “This wizard organization is dirt poor. I can see that.” Actually, Abel’s never seen a law-defying wizard with so little on him. He decided not to take anything from here. Wizard Luce would get to keep all his belongings even after he was resurrected. Or, Abel would just Wizard Luce something completely new by then. For now, Abel placed Wizard Luce’s corpse inside the personal storage box. There were a bunch of corpses inside already, and they were all just waiting for him to resurrect them. Abel was planning on doing that very soon, but Wizard Luce had to be done after the legendary sacred knight was resurrected. This was so that he could bring Wizard Luce with him anywhere on the central continent, and not just inside the dark world. Abel unleashed his power of the Will. He could see that there was no one going to the Snow Spirit Mountain for inspection. Since were several soul lights coming from here, that would make a lot of sense. This was not the Holy Continent. Most people would have a fairly good idea of what the light shining so up high was. As a matter of fact, most regular people and apprentice wizards were already rushing down the mountain to escape. For all they knew, the Snow Spirit Mountain group was as good as dead. Abel didn’t walk into the ancient building immediately, “Do a scan on the building in front of me, battle command spirit.” Very quickly, an image of a scan of the structure was presented to Abel. From what it looked like, the ancient building was completely built around one tree. The tree was probably not normal. Also, Wizard Luce seemed reluctant to leave this place, even after Frankenstein had killed all the other wizards. Abel smiled, “So what is it you wanted, Wizard Luce? What is the secret of the Snow Spirit Mountain?” Frankenstein placed his hand and tapped on Abel’s shoulders. He was bringing Abel into the ancient building. Since there was the map ready, Abel was already quite familiar with the place. He could just pinpoint himself to be teleported to the centremost position of the ancient building. As he did that, he could see that there was a spell circle, something as familiar as it could be. It was a defensive circle and a seclusion circle. Abel took a step back and gave Frankenstein the opening, “Be careful, Frankenstein! Don’t break the thing inside!” Frankenstein twitched its body and stabbed with “spirit sword” in the circle. The barriers of the defensive circle and the seclusion circle appeared. They were shaking frantically. Frankenstein’s physical attack was terrifying. In close proximity, even the mad knight couldn’t guard with his defense. WIth two popping noises, the defensive circle and the seclusion circle were destroyed. There was a fruit tree with 15 blue fruits inside. The bark of the tree was white, similar to that of jadestone. Even the leaves were like jade. The fruits didn’t look as captivating as the other parts. It was almost like the tree was naturally grown so that the fruits were the hardest to find. Abel could tell that this was a fruit tree that was as rare as it could be. Combined with the mana and the spiritual qi floating about, this fruit tree was rare. If Abel couldn’t sense the life force that was coming out of it, he might just think of it as a sculpture. Abel went forth and switched on the soulspeaker’s ability. He placed his hand on the bark and felt the presence of the fruit tree. The fruit tree did not generate any spirituality like the oak tree and the tree of life. It was closer to just an ordinary fruit tree. There was still something very different, though. There was a fire element around this building and a freezing element naturally at the Snow Spirit Mountain, which this fruit tree would absorb every day to grow. From what Abel could tell with his soulspeaker’s ability, the fruit tree was here ever since it was a sprout. It took several thousand years for it to mature. Abel knew the tree was rare, but he didn’t know what it was. As a matter of fact, the ancient building was nothing more than a safehouse for this fruit tree. It was hard to tell, but all the parts that were hidden beneath the soil were already occupied by the tree’s giant roots. Also, the tree didn’t look that big at the top. The bottom already took up the entire 5000 square meters. From the memories of the fruit tree, Abel could tell that the fruit had already matured once. He counted for a while, and he realized that the last harvest must’ve happened before Wizard Luce became a law-defying wizard. Could it be? Abel wasn’t sure, but what if the fruit tree was a link for Wizard Luce’s promotion into a law-defying wizard? The more Abel thought about this possibility, the more he was sure of it. Normally, a small-sized wizard organization like the Snow Spirit Mountain would only be able to promote their best wizards to rank 20. If they wanted to take it a step further, heritage items and a large number of resources would be crucial. The former was doable for most smaller groups, but the latter was not. Every ingredient for promotion, especially for law-defying wizards, required a huge price to afford. Even if the less influential groups could gather this amount of resources, it’d still be very difficult to find organizations that would do trade with. Of course, the Wizard Union would very often have these resources ready, but they would often have a lot of missions that required to be accomplished to trade for these. Most just wouldn’t bother with it. Back to Wizard Luce. It was very strange that he managed to become a law-defying wizard without the help of any mid to large wizard organizations. Also, given that the last time the fruit was harvested was when it was ripe, Abel thought that the fruit tree had to have something to do with Wizard Luce’s promotion. He began to look intently at the fruit tree, especially towards the 15 fruits that were not ripe yet. He could feel the very subtle fire element and freezing element that were inside. He screamed, “How is this possible!” There were fire elements and freezing elements inside, which already far exceeded his imagination. From his estimation, once these fruits were ripe, he could just take them and cultivate both elements inside his own body. As a potion master himself, while he could see that the elemental energy stored here was still very little, he was very certain that the power harnessed to become much, much stronger. This would be an excellent supplement for even law-defying wizards. Actually, since Abel was still stuck at wizard rank 21, this would just be the boost he needed to push to the next level. He laughed out loudly, “That’s good! Great!” Frankenstein didn’t know what Abel was laughing about, so it just stood without saying anything. Abel went head and broke through the defensive circle and the seclusion circle. After supplying magic gemstone, he went ahead and hid the fruit tree. He thought to himself, “I can’t have this here!” On the four ends were the spiritual guardian knights and the spiritual guardian wizards. Doff was also there, and he wasn’t so worried that anyone was going to break in, so he went ahead and used the “instantaneous movement” and came over to the warehouse of the Snow Spirit Mountain. At the entrance of the warehouse, he frowned as he looked at the circle that was flashing on the gate. He thought that the ancient building was his by now. The ancient building was actually the vase of the fruit tree, and he didn’t want to break the vase. Suddenly, he thought about the portal bag that was on top of Wizard Luce’s corpse. There seemed to be a sign card there. He took out his sign card out of his personal storage box and placed it on the identification circle. The warehouse gate was opened very quickly. Abel walked inside the warehouse and saw that boxes were inside. He went ahead and opened a box, and he saw that there were training resources for wizards inside. Training resources were essential for all wizard groups. It was the basis of their existence. Abel didn’t pay any attention to the boxes. He wasn’t interested in the training resources. Rather, his eyes were focused on the small box that was made of gemstones. Even with the seclusion of the gemstone, he could feel the chilling presence of the box. On the surface of the box, he could see that many sealing circles were engraved. It’s almost as if the items inside could be leaked. He went ahead and opened the box. He saw that there was a familiar item inside. The appearance wasn’t so familiar, but he was familiar with the material that was used to make this. This was a freezing pillow, similar to his freezing bed. This had to be the heritage item of the Snow Spirit Mountain. Compared to the one that was at the ice wind clan, this seemed to be inferior. He was still pretty satisfied, though. Apart from the fire element heritage items, all the heritage items on the central continent were something one had to fight for. This time, he did got what he was after by attacking the Snow Spirit Mountain. If there were anything else inside this warehouse that could interest him, it’d be the heritage books. He wasn’t interested in anything else. He walked out of the warehouse, realizing that he didn’t care to see the other spot. The location was already his, so he might as well take his time slowly in the future. With that, he had Frankenstein bring him to the front of the ancient building. He took a final look and thought back to the scanning image that he received. He spoke to himself, “I’ll need something major!” He turned around to speak to Frankenstein and Doff, “Doff! Frankenstein! Bring everything above base for me.” Doff and Frankenstein began to start working. While Doff was breaking the rocks on top of the Snow Spirit Mountain open, Frankenstein dealt with the meeting point of the stones and ancient buildings very carefully. Followed by a series of damage, Abel started to frown. It wouldn’t be a problem to tell Doff to smash the entire mountain’s top, but not affecting the ancient building would require a very unrealistic sense of delicacy. And there was so much work—at least two days of it. Abel came here and killed people, so he wasn’t even sure that he should use that much time. Having thought that, he called out the 2000 puppets out of his portal bag. Among them were small-size war puppets and engineer puppets that he got from the Holy Continent and the Lance Continent. Of course, Abel didn’t have the ability to command so many puppets. He was letting the battle command spirit do most of this. Very quickly, the top of the Snow Spirit Mountain became something of a gigantic construction field. The 2000 puppets, combined with Doff and Frankenstein, hammered on the mountain.

Chapter 1143 - Law Enforcement Chapter 1143: Law Enforcement Wizard Arbuthnot was a wizard law enforcer. Although he was just a rank 18 advanced wizard in a red cloak, even rank 20 advanced wizards had to pay respects to him. Right now, he was enjoying his water spirit fruit juice (produced by regular elves, of course), inside the Wizard Union branch building of his current location. After hearing that Master Bennett’s favorite drink was the water spirit fruit juice, the drink had become something of a symbol of affluence. It also had to do with how the elves had been sending water spirit fruit trees to Abel. However, given the state of the Wizard Union now, many wizards were proud to have their own juice. Wizard Arbuthnot couldn’t relax for long since his law enforcer card was beeping. Something had happened in his area. He connected his power of the Will to the card. From what it looked like, some wizards reported that a soul light was spotted over Snow Spirit Mountain. He cursed to himself, “Damn it! I can’t even rest!” He teleported himself to the teleportation circle of the Wizard Union branch building. He connected his power of the Will to the one at Snow Spirit Mountain but he realized that the connection couldn’t be made. Wizard Arbuthnot was very familiar with the area that he was in charge of, so naturally, he quickly picked a nearby city close to Snow Spirit Mountain. Wizard Arbuthnot disappeared and reappeared in that city. He activated his card just so that he could use the teleportation circle amidst the city. If he didn’t do this, the city circle would’ve suppressed him the moment he tried to move. Wizard Arbuthnot teleported himself several times towards the Snow Spirit Mountain. He stopped quickly, though. He could see seven soul lights, one big and six small streaks flashing in the distance. He was very afraid. Under the beam of the six smaller soul lights, the biggest one seemed extra clear. A law-defying wizard just died. This was not something that Wizard Arbuthnot could handle. Very quickly, he took a temporary contact circle out of his portal bag and immediately reported to Joseph. Wizard Joseph was the administrator of the law enforcement department. All law enforcer wizards could report to him in the most emergent of times. Wizard Joseph said with a tense look, “You got the situation clear?” Wizard Arbuthnot replied, “I’m not close to the Snow Spirit Mountain yet, Master Joseph. I’m not sure!” Wizard Joseph screamed, “Wizard Arbuthnot! That’s a red cloak you are wearing! Do you know why it’s red? It’s the color representing the many enemies that tried to go against the Wizard Union!” Wizard Arbuthnot remained silent. “NOW!” Wizard Joseph got louder, “Head to the Snow Spirit Mountain and make the situation clear!” On the central continent, no one except the Nation of God would try to go against the Wizard Union. This was pretty much why the law enforcement department was also so unreasonable. No one was supposed to go against them, which was why it was such a serious matter that a law enforcement wizard died. Wizard Arbuthnot replied loudly, “Yes, Master Joseph!” He put away the contact circle and looked towards the seven soul lights. He swallowed his spit and looked towards the red cloak he was wearing. After giving himself some pep talk, Wizard Arbuthnot teleported himself towards the Snow Spirit Mountain. The closer he was, the more that he felt afraid. He heard many, many sounds of machines banging on the ground. It sounded like some war was taking place. He was already thinking about the possibility of being killed by someone coming out of nowhere. Nothing was strange since a law-defying wizard was already dead. He had to continue with Wizard Joseph’s command, though, so he could only try to get closer. Wizard Arbuthnot screamed as he reached the top, “Wizard Arbuthnot is here to inspect the situation!” He didn’t want to be killed just because he didn’t give his name away in time. Instead of receiving a response, Wizard Arbuthnot could see busy working puppets. They were busy digging up the mountain. He even saw the Beamon giant beast and a law-defying wizard that was digging the ground. At the scene, only one elf was sitting there. Yes, sitting. The elf was sitting on an elven-style chair in front of an elven-style desk. He was drinking from a crystal cup containing a drink that Wizard Arbuthnot was very familiar with. It had to be Master Bennett. The Beamon giant beast, Mysterious law-defying wizard, and Elf. This had to be him. To double-check this, Wizard Arbuthnot made sure to look at the drink the elf was taking. Yes, only Master Bennett would be after this. Abel smiled at the law-enforcement wizard that appeared, “Greetings, wizard from the law enforcement department. Do you care for a drink?” Wizard Arbuthnot bowed carefully, “Honourable Master Bennett! I didn’t know you’re here. What’s this for?” Forget about the cloak. This was just an interaction between someone who was strong and someone who was weaker. Abel laughed and replied, “The Snow Spirit Mountain disobeyed the rule of the class holders and laid their hands on the subcontinent where I was born. I came here to get rid of them.” Wizard Arbuthnot got even more careful, “I have no right to meddle with what you did, Honourable Master Bennett, but would you permit me to report this to the headquarters?” As for what caused this, Wizard Arbuthnot wasn’t going to ask at all. All he was requesting was that he could say that Master Bennett decided to sweep the Snow Spirit Mountain clean. Advanced wizards weren’t supposed to be killed under the rule of the Wizard Union, yes, but as a matter of fact, the Wizard Union could just turn a blind eye to this. Abel made a gesture, “Please, go ahead.” Wizard Arbuthnot quickly ran to the side. Again, he took out the contact circle and activated it. Wizard Joseph asked in satisfaction, “What’s going on, Wizard Arbuthnot?” He was very glad about Wizard Arbuthnot’s efficiency. This was just what the law-enforcement department needed. Wizard Arbuthnot spoke as he looked towards Abel, “Master Bennett, is trying to get something by destroying the Snow Spirit Mountain.” Wizard Joseph couldn’t believe it, “Which Master Bennett do you mean?” “The elven potionmaster, Master Joseph. I’m talking about him!” Wizard Joseph screamed again, “What? What! What kind of law enforcement wizard are you, Wizard Arbuthnot?” Wizard Arbuthnot was speechless. He liked his boss, but he could get too serious at times. He didn’t know what to do here. Should he even go arrest Master Bennett? If he was, he might just be isolated from the rest of the central continent. Wizard Joseph screamed, “Ask Master Bennett what he needs help with! Quick! Make sure he stays safe! If you can’t, use an emergency command and kill everyone who tries to attack Master Bennett on sight!” Wizard Arbuthnot’s body shook, “Oh, right! Sure. Wait, couldn’t you make it clearer? I was almost going to arrest Master Bennett!” Wizard Arbuthnot honestly didn’t expect Wizard Joseph to give him the permission to use an emergency command. He must’ve really appreciated Master Bennett allowing the use of a one-time item like this. After sending the emergency command, all the wizards within a 500-mile area would receive a message calling for help. After receiving the reinforcement message, all the members of the Wizard Union would have to go to the area designated. Otherwise, a large amount of the points would be taken away from them. It was supposed to be a very last resort, so Wizard Arbuthnot wasn’t even sure if he should use that. Given how Master Bennett was so relaxed drinking his juice, the wizards that he summoned over might just beat him to death when they saw that no help was actually needed. Wizard Arbuthnot reported, “Master Joseph, Master Bennett is just taking a break. The fight’s already ended.” Wizard Joseph commanded, “Master Bennett’s free? Let him talk to me, then!” Wizard Arbuthnot didn’t dare to break the temporary contact circle, so he just took it carefully over to Abel’s side. He bowed and placed the circle on the table, “Master Joseph of the Law Enforcement Department wishes to speak to you, Master Bennett.” Abel poured a cup of juice for Wizard Arbuthnot, “Have a seat with me, Wizard Arbuthnot. Why not enjoy this juice first?” Instead of sitting down, Wizard Arbuthnot went ahead and took the cup. Abel turned to speak to the contact circle, “Excuse me, Wizard Joseph, but I’ve had some personal grudges against the Snow Spirit Mountain. If you can take care of this-” A holographic figure appeared on the contact circle. It was Wizard Joseph. Wizard Joseph smiled politely, “You could’ve left it to our hands, Master Bennett! You can just tell me if it’s something personal you want handled. I’ve got a team of specialists here who will make it extra safe for you. We can’t have you being exposed or anything now, can we, Master Bennett? If we do, that would going to be a great loss to the entire continent.” As for what the personal grudge was, Wizard Joseph didn’t care less. All that happened was the ruin of a small-sized wizard group and the death of a low-tier law-defying wizard. Abel smiled, “I didn’t do this myself, Wizard Joseph.” Wizard Joseph smiled as well, “I get what you mean. You didn’t have to do too much to defeat a rank 21 law-defying wizard, I would imagine. Here, if you don’t mind me being too pushy, I’ll just write a reason for you in our official record. I’ll make it so that you did this to assist the Law Enforcement Department.” Abel didn’t like the idea, “I don’t mind being more open about this, actually. You can ask Wizard Clamens if you’re interested in the details. I don’t think I’ve done anything out of place this time.” If there was a breach of rule, Wizard Joseph wouldn’t have to come up with some sort of cover-up scheme. Wizard Joseph laughed, “As long as you have a reason of your own, Master Bennett, I don’t think anyone would bother you for a law-defying wizard and a small-sized wizard group.” Wizard Joseph did not sound like a law enforcer during this whole conversation. If anything, he sounded more like Abel’s accomplice. Wizard Arbuthnot couldn’t help but feel a bit bothered. It turned out that Wizard Joseph wasn’t so earnest. He felt anxious to learn about this, so he drank the juice that was passed to him. The chilling juice entered his body, and while he wasn’t sure what it did, it’s almost like his soul entered into a sublimed stage such that all his worries were gone. Wizard Arbuthnot emptied his mind, and he realized something. All the training he undertook for the past several hundred years was coming to him. At last, it became something of an enlightenment. Abel was just having a conversation with Wizard Joseph, and they suddenly felt a promotion qi that was next to them. They turned around and looked towards Wizard Arbuthnot, but they could see that Wizard Arbuthnot was sitting on the ground. Abel hurried up and threw a mana-gathering circle. He activated the mana gathering circle such that Wizard Arbuthnot had a quiet promotion in the mana environment. Abel shook his head, “He’s pretty lucky.” Wizard Joseph didn’t understand since he was on the other end, “What do you mean, Master Bennett?”

Chapter 1144 - Moving Back Chapter 1144: Moving Back Abel said with a headache, “Wizard Joseph, Wizard Arbuthnot is having a breakthrough here.” He thought back to his water spirit fruit juice. Now that there was another who got a breakthrough because of him, he was starting to get worried that groups would start coming for it. Unfortunately, the water spirit fruit juice was not being mass produced at the moment. Since time inside the dark world was so fast, the maturation of one fruit tree only took 20 days. Still, although there were many other types of fruit trees for consumption, the water spirit fruit was still the dominant diet choice of the elves. They would still need it as an important food source. Wizard Joseph had guessed that it was Master Bennett that led to this, “Did you happen to feed Wizard Arbuthnot something, Master Bennett?” Abel sighed, “I just gave him a cup of my juice. I only did it because I thought he had a busy day.” Wizard Joseph was getting worried, “Well, Master Bennett, I have a few underlings that went to the golden castle to eat your food, but they didn’t receive a promotion. Would you, um, be willing to spare some of that water spirit fruit juice for me?” Abel had to make it clear, “The production rate is a bit low lately. I can do two bottles for you, Wizard Joseph, but nothing more than that.” Wizard Joseph laughed out loudly, “Ha, ha! Thanks, I’ll be over very soon!” Just when Abel was about to say something else, he realized that the contact circle was already open. Wizard Joseph couldn’t wait anymore, and he was about to be coming over. Abel checked his current speed. He could see that the 2000 puppets were about to dig up all the spaces around the ancient building. Only the underground part was left. Come to think of it. It should be just a bit more for them to finish the work. Since Wizard Joseph coming, he had to make sure that this was quick enough. Abel commanded, “Battle command spirit! Stop the puppets!” As the puppets slowed down, he jumped onto the pit that the puppets dug up. He could see the base of the ancient building from here. After having dug up the body of the mountain, the base of the ancient building was normally reconstructed with boulders that were chiseled. Because of how little mud there was on the very top, the ancient building was almost meant entirely for growing the fruit tree. In a sense, the base of the building was separate from the mountain body. Having thought about this, Abel began to calm down. He spoke to Doff, “Doff! Lift this building up for me!” The ancient building began to tremble after following Doff’s movements. Luckily, Doff’s grip had become a lot more firm now that it had mastered the “command long weapon.” Following Doff’s work, Abel’s power of Will could discover a loose movement between the ancient building and the mountain body. He placed his hand on the ancient building and activated his power of the Will to the max. 5000 square meters was big, but for where he was currently, it wasn’t all that hard to cover up the entire area like that. “Splash!” Followed by the sound of the rocks rolling, the ancient building was put inside the divine portal bag. Abel had no choice but to let out a long breath. Although he was the one who hid the fruit tree with the seclusion circle, he just couldn’t let the WIzard Union wizards see it, or else things could get very difficult. Sensing the fruit tree that was inside the ancient building, Abel could tell that it was alright to store it inside the divine portal bag. He couldn’t help but smile in relief because of this. “What makes you so happy, Master Bennett?” A white light flashed, and Wizard Joseph was at the very top. He was in shock when he saw the giant hole that was on the top of the mountain. Abel smiled and spoke, “You are quite early there, Wizard Joseph.” Following, he nodded at Frankenstein, who was beside him. Frankenstein then teleported him to the elven wooden table, which was not very far away. Abel laughed at Wizard Joseph, “Sit and chat, if you will. It’ll take some time for your underlings to wake up.” Wizard Joseph seemed jealous of Wizard Arbuthnot, “Quite lucky to be promoted just by being with you, I would say.” Wizard Joseph brought several of his subordinates to the golden castle many times and did not receive any promotion. Wizard Arbuthnot got his promotion accidentally on a business trip. This was unexpected, but anyways, Wizard Joseph now knew that Master Bennett’s water spirit fruit juice could do something special. That being said, he obviously wasn’t just there to get the two bottles of the water spirit fruit juice. Although that was one of the reasons, that wasn’t all. The most important reason had to do with the fact that he needed to form a relationship with Master Bennett first. He’s been falling behind Wizard Clemens of the Intelligence Agency and Wizard Hume of the resource department in that regard, as both these men had attended Master Bennett’s private banquet before. Wizard Arbuthnot was just sitting across Abel. Abel passed a bottle over, but he decided not to take a drink. His few disciples were just sitting several ranks above advanced wizards. Perhaps this bottle of the water spirit fruit juice was their final hope. Again, He had to think for his disciples. Abel laughed, “Relax, Wizard Joseph! The bottle you drank won’t be counted in the two bottles that were given to you.” Wizard Joseph decided to put it in his portal bag, “No worries. I’ll savour it slowly.” Abel understood what that meant. He didn’t have any students yet, but he had a mentor before. He understood what it was like to have to save up precious resources for students you were supposed to take care of. If it was Wizard Morton that was in this situation, he could totally see him trying to save some for him as well. With that in mind, Abel passed two more bottles of the water spirit fruit juice over. Wizard Joseph didn’t say much. He just smiled and put it away. Wizard Joseph looked towards the large hole nearby, “So there aren’t any wizards left, Master Bennett?” Abel pointed towards the hole, “Apart from the Snow Spirit Mountain wizards that never left, we’ve got the wizards in the headquarters.” Wizard Joseph didn’t care to ask about what happened at the large hole. If Abel wasn’t going to ask, he wasn’t going to push for an answer. Still, he realized something. Master Bennett might be interested in the treasures over here. As for what, he wasn’t really sure. He didn’t know what a small wizard organization would have that would interest Master Bennett. What he knew, so far, was that the Wizard Union knew that what happened was personal. Personal as it was, however, it’s really strange that Master Bennett had to take an extra step to decimate the whole place. Wizard Joseph asked, “If there are any wizards outside the Snow Spirit Mountain, would you still go after them?” Abel shook his head, “It’s all done already. I’ve killed the ones I was after.” Wizard Joseph smiled, “I’ll see if there are any more alive, Master Bennett. If there are, I’ll send them a warning myself.” Wizard Joseph and Abel smiled while they waited for Wizard Arbuthnot to be promoted. They weren’t going to leave at this point, as advanced wizards would have no defense during their promotion. About one hour later, Wizard Arbuthnot slowly opened his eyes. He was very emotional. From 18 to 19 was just one rank apart, but so many had failed so much to go past this point. As for the bottle of the water spirit fruit juice Master Bennett handed over, he just reduced ten or tens of years of training required. If he was a bit unlucky, he might just be stuck at this forever. “Master Bennett…” Wizard Arbuthnot wasn’t sure what to say. “Thank you” seemed like nothing compared to what Master Bennett did for him, but he had no idea what he could do that would actually help. Wizard Joseph spoke, “Wizard Arbuthnot, enough. You don’t owe Master Bennett for this. Just try to make sure that nothing bad happens with this incident at the Snow Spirit Mountain.” Wizard Arbuthnot went forward and bowed, “Master Joseph!” He then turned back to Abel, “I’ll do everything in my power to prevent this from causing your trouble, Master Bennett.” He then looked around but was shocked to see that the ancient building that he saw before the promotion was gone. Actually, with a building of that size disappearing, he wasn’t even sure how he could keep this matter discrete. Abel laughed, “Don’t listen to Wizard Joseph, Wizard Arbuthnot! It’s fine, you don’t have to keep everything underground. Just make it public. Send a message to the world that if anyone dares to go after my home, they’ll have to consider facing my revenge!” Wizard Arbuthnot bowed and looked towards Wizard Joseph, “Yes, Master Bennett! Um…” Wizard Joseph laughed, “Wizard Arbuthnot, just do as Master Bennett says.” Having said that, he brought Wizard Arbuthnot to activate the instantaneous movement and disappeared amongst the white light. Abel put away the chairs and tables. He had the 2000 puppets and Doff away. Under the transportation of Frankenstein, he returned to the Fire Tooth Battle Fort that was in the sky. The revenge mission went according to plan, but the consequences were not as clear as he hoped that it would be. Still, given his current status, that just made the Holy Continent even safer. From this point on, any class holder would have to think for him if they wanted to do something. Wizard Joseph returned to the Wizard Union. As he arrived, the first thing he did was to look for Wizard Clemens. Wizard Clemens was just looking at some report, “Joseph! How did you have the time to be here today?” Wizard Joseph could see the juice that Wizard Clemens was drinking, “I see you’ve been enjoying yourself.” He wasn’t the type to say that kind of stuff before, but after knowing the effect of Master Bennett’s water spirit fruit juice, he seemed to have noticed that Wizard Clemens had been a little excessive in his use of it. Wizard Clemens laughed out loudly, “Well, how about a cup for you?” Wizard Joseph could notice something wrong immediately, “Lemme smell it. Wait, this isn’t right.” Wizard Clemens asked, “What do you mean, Joseph?” Wizard Joseph opened the bottle and said with certainty, “This isn’t Master Bennett’s!” “You’ve got Master Bennett’s juice” Wizard Clemens widened his eyes, then smiled, “I’ve got my own, but as you can probably tell, it’s of a lesser quality. It’s still much better than the common ones out there, though. It’s good for your body and your spirit. The one you’ve got was probably the fine one from Master Bennett. I’ve only had it a few times when I was visiting Master Bennett as a guest.” Wizard Joseph asked, “You’re right, I did get this from Master Bennett. Speaking of which, what connection does Master Bennett have with the Snow Spirit Mountain?” Wizard Clemens replied quickly, “Sud question, but I’ll answer. The Snow Spirit Mountain tried sending two rank twenty advanced wizards over to the Holy Continent, where Master Bennett was born. They were going after his secret restaurant recipes, and the two advanced wizards died on the Holy Continent trying to do that.” Wizard Joseph said in awe, “The Snow Spirit Mountain was found gone a few days ago! Did you know that?” Wizard Clemens shook his head, “Well, they had it coming. I didn’t expect Master Bennett to act so quickly. I’ve only received a report on recent sightings. Can I ask how many wizards died over there?” “No!” Wizard Joseph raised his voice, “Clemens! I mean the mountain is gone! There is just a giant pit left there! There’s no headquarters building, and there have been sightings of seven soul lights—one of them belonging to a law-defying wizard!”

Chapter 1145 - Tree Of Wisdom Chapter 1145: Tree of Wisdom Abel didn’t have the time to think about the Wizard Union’s reaction. Given his connections to the legendary wizards and his identity as the potion master, the Wizard Union would only care to look for what was wrong with the Snow Spirit Mountain and magnify that. His actions would be put under the radar as much as possible. As soon as Abel returned to the golden castle, the first thing he did was to head to the training room and switch on his defensive circle and the seclusion circle. Then, he opened the Town Teleportation Scroll and passed into the teleportation portal. As soon as he was in, he teleported himself over to the Blood Moor. While he was inside, he found an empty spot to take out his ancient building. Although plants could survive within the portal bag, he wanted to make sure that he wasn’t doing anything to hurt his special fruit tree. So, he took the ancient building out. Abel went to the center and saw that the fruit tree was in the middle of the seclusion circle. The tree was still like back on top of the Snow Spirit Mountain. There wasn’t really much of a change. Abel switched on the soulspeaker’s ability. He placed his hand on the tree bark and began to feel everything. He realized that although there was no freezing element here, the fire element that was gathered from the ancient building alone, was enough for the fruit tree to absorb energy. Because of this, instead of immediately looking for a way to repair the ancient building, Abel first sought to know just what exactly the fruit tree was and what the requirements were for it to grow. Having thought about that, he ordered the high elves to take care of the fruit tree for him. He was going back to the golden castle first. Abel first spoke to the research spirit, “Search for any tree that has a bark like marble, leaves like jade, and fruits that harness power of the Rule.” There was a complete freezing element heritage within the research spirit search database. Abel would always turn to it if he needed to look up something. The research spirit replied after ten minutes, “Nothing on that, Master.” Abel was a bit confused. He didn’t want to go to the Wizard Union headquarters just to ask about this. He had already decimated Snow Spirit Mountain, so it wouldn’t be the wisest idea if he was to show up to the Wizard Union very quickly. Yes, unless he was sure of what he was getting, he was not going to let anyone else know about the fruit tree. Now, there was only one place left for research. That’s the library of the elven royal palace. No one would spy on him over there. As for the Wizard Union, they had plenty of ways to figure out what happened on their own. Abel had Frankenstein bring him to the teleportation room underground. He passed through the large-sized teleportation circle and activated a route to head over to the Bay Law City Palace. While he was standing amidst the teleportation circle, he immediately felt Druid Lando’s presence. The guardian druid that was protecting the elven royal family was passing straight towards the teleportation room as soon as he knew that Abel was here. Druid Lendo smiled and bowed, “Welcome, Master Bennett, Wizard Frankenstein.” Abel smiled as well, “So much for you to come over here, Druid Lando.” Frankenstein didn’t do anything, but Druid Lendo understood. Apart from Master Bennett, Frankenstein wouldn’t reply to anyone unless to eliminate Master Bennett’s enemies. Druid Lendo thought that something was up, “So what brings you here today, Master Bennett?” Abel wouldn’t come here often, not even when he was invited. Abel smiled, “I’ve come here to borrow some information from the library.” “No problem, Master Bennett. As a dragon druid, you have access to all the knowledge inside the library,” Druid Lendo said, “Follow me.” Abel followed him to the back of the royal palace. The moment they arrived, they could see that all the elves within the royal palace were backing away in a very polite manner. After passing through a garden, Abel began to see a tower that had three levels made entirely of wood. Regular libraries wouldn’t be built of wood because of concerns in case there was arson, but this was a special building made of special material. The timber was supposed to be good against pests, and since there were spell runes drawn over it, it wasn’t even possible to light it on fire if someone was to put a torch over it. Druid Lendo announced to the library, “The library will be closed for the entire day. No elves are supposed to stay now.” As soft as his voice here, it echoed throughout the whole space. All the elves that were reading were walking out. Abel even saw some royal elves that were leaving. None of them hesitated to follow the order. They went very quickly to Druid Lando, bowed, threw a surprised look at Abel, and hurried up to leave. In just two minutes, the entire library was empty. Druid Lendo passed a card to Abel, “This is the identity card of the library. Master Bennett, if you use this, you can flick through any book!” He didn’t bother entering the library with Abel out of respect for privacy. Abel nodded and smiled, “Thank you, Druid Lando!” Frankenstein was walking inside the library as well. On the first floor of the library, there were about several hundred large bookshelves with all sorts of books stored from low to high. They were mostly parchment books. Abel frowned as he realized how difficult it would be to look for the one he was after. He began by focusing his power of the Will onto his sign card. He could see that the card contained a map of where different genres were stored. There was an order of series that he would need. Very quickly, Abel followed the information and found something related to the fruit tree. Here, some books related to cultivating fruit trees and even some cross-breeding methods were here. He didn’t find the specific things he was after, though. Still, he managed to realize it as well very quickly. He didn’t need to open the books himself. He just needed to do a quick scan with his power of the Will. With just one minute, he could finish an entire book and understand the content. After being disappointed with the second floor, Abel placed his attention on the third floor. He sensed a strange barrier as soon as he stepped onto the third floor. The layer had no resistance. It just pushed him to be on the third floor. While on the third floor, Abel could see a special leaf that belonged to the elves. This was something he remembered seeing when he was inside the Holy Continent Alchemist Union library. He had thought that the books there were only for the Holy Continent, but he realized how special this was. From what it looked like, the elves on the central continent had been much more affected by the humans than the elves on the subcontinent. Most elves had already accepted the method in which the humans record down parchment paper. As for the special leaf he saw now, that seemed to be something that was only used for some of the older books. The third floor was the oldest thing in the central continent. The record was among the oldest on the central continent. Abel was watching all the records that were made for the high elves. He was felt kind of confused. Could the high elves really be the earliest lifeforms in the history of this world? He thought back to the high elves that were inside the dark world. They were now the first living beings inside the dark world. Many years later, the dark world would just have the same level of diversity and cultural richness as this world. That didn’t matter at this moment. As long as Abel could be inside the dark world, he would be the only one who could decide what the history of that world would be. There weren’t a lot of leaf books on the third floor. The total was roughly 300. Abel was very quickly captivated by the amount of knowledge stored here. Before, he used to only have his followers come here to look up information for him. However, coming here on his own had been much more enjoyable than what he thought it’d be. What he didn’t know was that the knowledge stored up here contained much more than what’s said in the common myths regarding the tree of life and the connection between the Moon Goddess and the elven race. Abel felt like he was reading a legend, mostly about wars between divine spirits or between divine spirits and wizards. He was distracted sifting through the stories, and just when he was about to forget the reason that he came here, he saw a record that spoke of a tree called the wisdom tree. The wisdom tree was a jade white tree that could generate the sound of a bell when knocked on. It would produce fruits every 30 years with 15 wisdom fruits produced every time. The fruits of wisdom, or wisdom fruits, would allow the people to gain the power of the origin. As for what the power of origin was, that would depend on what the fruits absorbed to grow during maturation. Inside the book, there was a story about how one hero invited the others to eat the wisdom fruit with him. It was a story about honor and glory. Everyone who could participate was invited to spar with each other to decide who got to have the 15 wisdom fruits shared with them. It was actually the most popular event of that era, as the wisdom fruit would always boost the progress of everyone who might or might not be stuck at their training. Abel was certain now that the tree he saw was the wisdom tree, the one that was grown from a seed featured in the story. In the story, the original wisdom tree was destroyed after so many had fought for it. When the founder of the Snow Spirit Mountain came, he found a remaining seed that was found on the abandoned battlefield. That founder decided to establish a small organization on his own, thinking that he could enjoy all the wisdom fruits by himself if he could grow the wisdom fruit. To achieve that goal, he even got a building that could absorb fire elements and had that building set on top of the Snow Spirit Mountain. He wanted the tree to harness both fire and the freezing element. If only it was that easy. The founder never saw the tree sprout while he was still alive. His wishes were passed onto his successors under secret, and generation after generation, the Snow Spirit Mountain would watch over the wisdom tree as it slowly grew. There were many times where the leaders would die of natural causes, and they’d be very disappointed in not seeing the fruit of their labor come into fruition. That was until Wizard Luce’s generation. The wisdom tree was finally growing fruits, and he became the first law-defying wizard of the Snow Spirit Mountain because of it. Unfortunately, because of how rash he was, Abel ended everything before the Snow Spirit Mountain managed to amount to anything. Abel ended up having his own wisdom tree. Abel let out a long sigh. He was glad that he was careful enough not to let anyone else know about this. He wouldn’t want to have more people target him for another one of his treasures. As powerful as he was, he didn’t possess the same strength as the founder featured in this book. He couldn’t just keep everyone away from attacking, and if he had to guess, the founder also had to eventually compromise to share the fruits, even if he was much more powerful than anyone else who was interested. Whatever. Abel was not the type to share this unless it was with his family. He dropped the book leaf that was within his hands. He wasn’t interested in continuing, so he only thought about hurrying up to return to the side of the wisdom tree. He quickly went to the first floor and went out of the library door. He could see that along with Frankenstein, Druid Lendo was waiting at the door for him. Druid Lendo quickly inquired, “Are you alright, Master Bennett?” Abel smiled and bowed, “Thank you so much for you and the royal palace’s help, Druid Lando. Please, say thanks to Queen Luisa for me. I won’t be able to visit this time since I’m busy.” Having said that, he brought Frankenstein to come to the teleportation circle of the royal palace. He activated the teleportation circle and headed back to the golden castle.

Chapter 1146 - Fruit Of Wisdom Chapter 1146: Fruit of Wisdom Abel stood beside the wisdom tree inside the ancient building. He was inside Blood Moor of the dark world. His eyes were filled with joy, knowing that the rate of his training could be much faster. His progress had been much slower after becoming a law-defying wizard. It was not like the speed in which he was absorbing the mana was slowing down. Since he was using the light stone to train, the absorption rate of his mana was actually ten times faster than regular law-defying wizards. He’s also had the time disparity of the dark world to help with him. Because of how much time he was spending in the dark world, his mana capacity was pretty high already as a rank 21 law-defying wizard. What he lacked now was the lightning element, freezing element, and fire element. He needed the three elements to solidify his wizard runes. This was something that could only be accomplished through patience. The appearance of the wisdom tree was like a spark of hope for him. The power of the Rule could be absorbed by any class holder, which would just escalate the rate of his training. If he wasn’t here on time, Wizard Luce might just become a major figure on the central continent within a few centuries. Still, Abel ended up being the one to take up the results of that labour the Snow Spirit Mountain had been putting in. Abel switched on the soulspeaker’s ability. He placed his hand on the tree bark and felt its condition. Since the ancient building was no longer on the Snow Spirit Mountain, the only thing that the wisdom tree was absorbing now was the fire element and not the freezing element. This would mean that the wisdom fruits could only earn fire elements. Now that Abel controlled the three elements, he needed a lot more balance than that. Abel took out his top-level stones, “Maybe I’ll use my advantage here.” Yes, his advantage was an infinite amount of top-level gemstones. While others had to be very calculative to not waste any gemstones, he could use any fragments he had and turn them into top-level gemstones. Here, he got all three types taken out to use. The red one was for fire, the yellow was for lightning and blue was for freezing. Slowly and carefully, he placed the stones at the roots of the tree. With his soulspeaker’s ability, he could feel the message that the wisdom tree was sending. He could sense the wisdom tree absorbing three energies. Eventually, the energy reached the fruit and became three different energies of the Rule. He murmured to himself, “Wonder what the founder was thinking. He’s got a vase this big when this could’ve been much easily solved.” Still, he wasn’t confident enough to destroy the ancient building, which was the “vase” containing the flower. The roots were taking up most of the lower half. If something affected the growth of the wisdom tree, he would’ve had too much to regret about. Actually, as long as the wisdom fruit was alright, he would’ve never touched the ancient building without it being absolutely necessary. As for what the tree of life was sensing, he might just have a good conversation with it some time later with his soulspeaker’s ability. If there was anything about the founder that Abel didn’t know about, it would be about the amount of effort that was put into shaping a building that was designated for the wisdom tree. It just wasn’t sustainable to keep supplying the tree with gemstones, so allowing something to contain the tree would just allow a slower absorption that would keep it alive for longer. Abel looked towards the 15 green wisdom fruits. If they contained only one element, he might just pick one and see for himself. According to the records, the wisdom fruit would grow every 30 years. In that case, given how time flows differently on the dark world and the central continent, every one and half years, he could just get one wisdom fruit. That was already much faster than any legendary fruit out there. Abel wasn’t satisfied, though. It had only been seven to eight years since he became a wizard. Although one wisdom fruit everyone one and a half year was very fast, he was been making much more progress than that before. Actually, since he’s got a lot of the fountain water from the “three goddess statue” he got from the Holy Continent, maybe he could do something with it. Abel came and waved at Elder Rock of the high elves, “Rock! Over here.” Elder Rock flew over and bowed, “Great god! Your servant is here to serve you.” Abel took out a portal container, “Rock, I’ve got some fountain water contained here. You pour some on the wisdom tree everyday alright?” “Yes, god,” Elder Rock took the flask over and bowed. Abel trusted Rock since he was the first high elf that was born. High elves were hardworking and diligent, so he didn’t have to worry too much if they didn’t follow his orders. On the second day, as Abel returned to the dark world, it had already been several months inside the dark world. The first thing he did was to use the instantaneous movement to head beside the wisdom tree. Before, the leaves were shining much brighter while the fruits were losing all glows. Now, however, the tree was shining in a gold that was much brighter than the green of the leaves. Abel’s eyes were fixed onto the 15 golden lights. He didn’t need to take a second look to know that the fruit was growing into maturity. Abel’s power of the WIll transformed into a single hand. He grabbed onto a wisdom tree and pulled it off the branch. The wisdom tree was growing in a very strange manner. The fruit was supposed to contain the power of the Rule naturally, and the power of Rule was starting to lose the same spark as it should’ve had. The amount of the three elements contained almost amounted to one percent of a full rank 21 wizard rune. That was still a lot. No wonder wars were fought over this in the ancient times. Now that the fruit was harvested, it could only be preserved for one day before the power of the Rule it contained would be dispersed. Abel wasn’t so concerned about this when he read about this in the records. The personal storage box was taking care of this. No, he’s killed too many people before to care if the food was put together with some dead bodies. Able continued to harvest the other 14 fruits. Slowly and carefully, he placed the 14 fruits inside the personal storage box. They didn’t even take up one tiny slot of the personal storage box. There was still one left, and of course he was going to eat the one in his hand straightaway. Before eating though, he went ahead to check the state of the tree. While in the soulspeaker’s mode, he slowly inspected the wisdom tree and sensed that the energy absorbed was still gathering over there. In just a bit longer, the fifteen branches might just grow the fruits at the same spots. He looked towards the roots, where he placed the top-level gemstones. Since he was using the three goddess’s statue fountain water to boost the growth of the tree, he might have to supply more energy to the tree. The spot that was growing the 15 fruits had already cost 15 of each element. In total, 45 top level gemstones were spent on this. Abel was rich, but he was still kind of dumbfounded to see that he was already spending a fortune the worth of a small wizard organization. The Snow Spirit Mountain would’ve had to spend thirty years for this. Abel held the wisdom fruit in his hands. He didn’t think that it’d be a good experience to have the fruit in his mouth. Still, he thought about the power it contained and took a bite. As soon as his teeth dug into the surface, three strange energies swarmed into his body and went towards his wizard rune. He could feel the heat. The heat was the element of fire, which was a bit different to ordinary fire elements. The base of the element would be the same, but there was something else about this that Abel wasn’t exactly sure was. It was probably the material that made the fruit capable of containing the power of the Rule. The material was harmonizing the fire element. It’s almost like the mediating material he was using to brew potions. It was meant so that he could absorb fire elements that he couldn’t before. The other one was a freezing element, which made him feel a chill. The one that made him slightly numb was the lightning energy. Abel’s three 21 wizard runes were greedily sucking onto the three powers of the Rule. This absorption he was having just saved him half a year of training inside the dark world. With ten wisdom fruits. With ten more fruits, he could just be promoted to rank 22. Abel felt like eating another wisdom fruit, but he could feel like his body couldn’t absorb the fruit. If he wanted to keep doing this, he would have to wait ten more days. Of course, this feeling would only benefit his divine spirit ability that he had when he was inside the Rogue’s Encampment. Otherwise, he would have to waste one wisdom fruit to learn about this. Abel squinted. It seemed that he could only have one wisdom fruit every ten days. In other words, the correct way to harvest fruit would be to harvest one every ten days. He’s very lucky to have the personal storage box, or else, he was just going to waste all that. Days passed on the central continent. Abel would spend the time inside the dark world to make sure that he was having one wisdom fruit everytime he was on the central continent. This helped him contain a lot more Power of the Rule. After ten days, he sat on a cushion he made inside the Rogue’s Encampment and set up a large-sized mana gathering circle for him. The mana was already precipitating in the air. Apart from the dark world, it wouldn’t be possible for any other place to contain a mana rich environment such as this. Abel’s expression stiffened. Today was the day he was going to attempt to be promoted into rank 22 wizard. Since his dragon druid rank was already 22, that would’ve already automatically opened his pathway to becoming a rank 22 wizard. Now, the one thing he would have to do was to consume one wisdom fruit and complete the last storing of his power of the Rule. “Rank 22 wizard. Here goes,” he said to himself as he revealed the golden wisdom fruit. He placed the fruit in his mouth, and when he bit onto the skin, he could feel that the power of the Rule was filling all three of his wizard runes. Once Abel reached rank 21, he could feel an automatic sublimation of his presence. The three runes were transformed into pure energy, which contained both his power of the Rule and his power of the Will. As the two merged with each other, they became a strange material that was not seen before. His role was basically to use this material to draw the rank 22 rune, and that’s no difficult job since he’s had all the experiences and tools he needed to get it sorted. Abel’s power of the Will was transformed into three rune pens. Three elements, three energies were compiled and formed into ink to draw the three rank 22 wizard runes. Once the last one was done, Abel could feel that his main spirit was starting to solidify. He could also feel a subtle change. Before, he could only unleash a rank 22 dragon druid essence with his druid spirit. Now, he could use his main spirit to unleash a rank 22 law-defying wizard presence.

Chapter 1147 - Coming To Visit Chapter 1147: Coming to Visit The days passed by. Abel was returning to the same life as usual. He was brewing potions, entering into the dark world to train and fight. He would also train his own preachers within the Nation of God. At times, he would use Izual’s divine bestowment to assassinate some preachers that weren’t his. It’s always quite easy to get his target. Because of how strong the guardian wing was at defending against enemies that were outside, most had become complacent at spotting enemies that were on the inside. Besides, since all the divine bestowment Abel had looked like accidents, the higher-ups of the Nation of God could never do much beyond suspecting the presence of external interference. Actually, since most of the suspicions were towards some other divine spirits, even more, defensive power was placed outside of the guardian wing. After Abel picked away all the fruits that were on the wisdom tree, it took about one month on the central continent for the new wisdom fruit to mature thanks to the help of the three goddess statue fountain water. The original period was supposed to be eighteen months, but the fruit was now growing in just one month. Even Abel was starting to feel bad for Wizard Luce. The last wisdom would’ve matured very quickly even without the fountain water, and if he were a few months late to head over to the Snow Spirit Mountain, he might’ve never known about the power of the wisdom fruit. He was starting to understand why Wizard Luce was so hesitant to leave at the time. With all that’s said, even though the time for maturation went from 18 months to one month, Abel was still not satisfied. In his imagination, the fountain water should be accelerated so that the wisdom fruit could mature faster. As a matter of fact, however, the wisdom tree could only grow faster to a certain extent. So one month on the central continent, or equivalent to 20 months inside the dark world, would already be the absolute limit. Abel made sure to do some calculations. Given that he was already consuming the wisdom fruit to increase his capacity for the power of Rule, he could increase his level 22 wizard rune by 15% every month. Combined with the result of his own training, he could just make it into the breakthrough stage within half a year. Of course, he could also use the advanced light stone to meditate, given how fast he was absorbing the power of the Rule. He wanted to increase the effectiveness of his meditation such that he could generate more mana to reach a balance point for his mana and his power of the Rule. Before, the rate of his mana concentration would always exceed the rate of his power of Rule concentration, and he’s got no choice but to wait for the power of the Rule to grow slightly more on its own. Now, it was the opposite case. He needed to consider how many light stones he was spending because nine low-tier stones for one advanced stone was actually too much for even someone like him. Every day, he needed to use 90 low-tier light stones while he was training inside the dark world. Frankenstein and his other wizard contract creatures also needed the light stones. Abel had to be very careful to make sure that he could get more light stones in the future. Before, he’s never been too worried about how many light stones he used. No matter how fast he was boosting his mana, he would’ve always had to wait for his power of the Rule to grow to a certain point first. Now, he had to consider balancing things the opposite way, which was by earning even more light stones. And no, he’s never thought that the discovery of the wisdom tree would just provide him a secure pathway to boost his strength. Before, the elevation of his power would always be mostly dependent on how many bosses he killed inside the dark world. He needed the help of the song of life to do that, as the bosses would only become harder the more he went over the dark world. The further he went down this path, the more difficult it would be to increase his strength. This was somewhat ironic. He needed to become stronger first to kill the remaining bosses, which were Diablo and Baal, but without the wisdom tree, he would’ve had to kill these two bosses to become stronger. Luckily, the problem was solved before he even had to face it. After encountering the wisdom tree, his strength was starting to grow with the wisdom tree so that he could become stronger with it. The research spirit’s voice rang, “Master, Wizard Dolan of the Wizard Union is here at the guest meeting hall.” He brewed and spoke, “Pass a message to Wizard Dylan, research spirit. I’ve got one hour left before I finish the brew.” Following that, he focused on the brew that he was currently making. As he began to gain more friends, Abel became a lot busier in his potion-making job. Apart from the light recovery potion, the mana potion, and the power potion, which were all “superpotions” that all the major organizations paid extra attention to, he would also provide a stable supply of the skin lotion and hair conditioners to the elves. He also got the master-level potions of the Wizard Union to take care of. Right now, the master alchemist rune inside of him was already full, but he was still missing something to make it to grandmaster alchemist. Abel also got a taste of what it felt like to reach the bottleneck stage, although the class that he was experiencing it with was not his main class. It wasn’t like he cared less because of that, but he couldn’t find any record that would help him with this. As a matter of fact, there had never been a case of someone reaching full master alchemist state ever on the central continent. This had to do with how absolutely rare master-level potion ingredients were. To think that brewing potions alone could increase their levels would be something that was entirely impossible. It also had to do with the potion’s success rate. Even the three potion masters that were currently available at the Potionmaster Guild would’ve had a one out of five chance to create a master-level potion. On the central continent, while some had tried to cultivate master-level herbs, they would’ve never produced the amount that was needed to satisfy the requirement of the potion masters. Master-level herbs were never so easy to be planted, as a lot of special requirements were needed for both the environment itself and the materials needed to grow the plants. This was the case for the elves, as they would only grow master-level herbs when they were doing it underneath the tree of life. If it wasn’t so, they would’ve had to plant the herbs at either extremely desolated locations or inside the ancient runes. This was the case of the potion masters. Forgery masters, which was a subgroup that was within the potion master class, would require materials that were even more difficult to obtain. Minerals and metals were extremely hard to find, which would make it so that they had absolutely no way of going down their path. If Abel wasn’t moving from the outer sea into the portable cultivation base and created 9000 master-level bottles of potion on his own, he would’ve never made it to where he was at now. Again, Abel was a very lucky case. He had both supply and demand working in his favor. He also had the privilege to eat rabbit essence dishes every single day and drink water spirit fruit juice that was synthesized twice. He had a tremendous supply of breakthrough items that were said to be the most effective on the entire central continent. Still, he remained stuck at the bottleneck stage. “Sublimation!” As Abel spoke, only blue remained within the rainbow light of the potion. Another pack of blue-quality potions was brewed successfully. He went ahead and took twenty crystal bottles and distributed the potions to them. He looked towards the potions and said, “Store the potions in the warehouse.” The research spirit made the twenty bottles disappear and placed them in the warehouse. The research spirit took care of where everything went. Abel waited for Wizard Dylan, “Send me over to the guest meeting room, circle spirit.” A white light appeared underneath him. Abel disappeared from the potion brewing lab and appeared in the guest meeting room. Wizard Dolan was just drinking his juice, “Sorry to interrupt your work, Master Benentt!” Abel bowed, returning Wizard Dylan’s, “Sorry for letting you wait, Wizard Dylan. I’ve just got some potion brewing missions to take care of recently!” Wizard Dolansat back on the chair, “No, no no! It’s on me to come here without arranging a time for you!” Abel was just sitting on the master’s seat. Butler Meyer was just sending juice for him before leaving. Abel sipped on the juice and asked, “What business would you have here today, Wizard Dylan?” Wizard Dolan was getting a bit tense, “I came here on behalf of the Wizard Union, Master Bennett. I’ve come here to ask if you know Wizard Abel?” Abel was a bit taken by surprise. It felt weird being asked about himself. Abel replied with a question, “Did something happen to Wizard Abel?” Wizard Dolanreplied, “Wizard Abel owns stone giants, which have been a major interest of the Wizard Union. The stone giants are capable of increasing mining speeds. We are interested in negotiating with him, but ever since he was attacked in his last mission, there have been no sightings of him anywhere on the central continent. Just when we all thought that something happened to him, we heard he was back on the Holy Continent a few days ago.” Abel remained silent. He never thought that Johnson would have such a long-lasting impact on the Wizard Union. He thought that it was already in the past, but the Wizard Union only continued their investigation. Still, it would make a lot of sense to keep looking for a contract creature that could dig up an entire mine in less than a day. Wizard Dolan could see that Abel was hesitant, “You’ve saved my life before, Master Bennett. We’ve also fought together over the outer sea. I’m not going to keep a secret away from you.” He continued, “The Wizard Union’s record showed that it was with your super-sized teleportation circle that Wizard Abel returned to the Holy Continent. The intelligence analysis spirit has guessed that Wizard Abel might have somewhat of a very unusual relationship with you. There has even been suspicion that you and Wizard Abel are the same person.” Abel was finding it hard to keep his poker face on. He didn’t want the Wizard Union to know his secrets. He didn’t want to be exposed for mining on the frontline. If he was under surveillance by the Wizard Union, he would’ve never made it safely in and out of the dark world. Even if he appeared amidst the frontline, he would’ve become a major target of the Nation of God. Wizard Dolan said with a relaxed smile, “To protect you, Master Bennett, Wizard Clemens withdrew any attempts to release this information. He then got me here.” The research analysis spirit was a very important spirit to the Wizard Union. It was technically owned by the intelligence department, but it was open to several departments. There had to be a lot of things going on for Wizard Clemens to be able to suppress the major information Wizard Dolan described. Abel smiled, “Thank Wizard Clamens for me. Also, if the Wizard Union really wants to find Wizard Abel, I’ll keep the golden castle shut permanently and cut all connection to the outside world.” Abel didn’t care about the Wizard Union now. Unless the Wizard Union sent out a legendary figure, there would be no way that they could break through the golden castle, which was protected by the starlight defensive large circle. Still, doing that would make him lose an income in the form of the light stones. The amount he had wouldn’t last for long, and it would only reduce the rate at which he was continuing with his training. He would’ve never gone for something like a threat unless he felt the necessity to. He was only trying to make things clear. If the Wizard Union wanted to force anything to prove that he was Abel and make him head over to the frontline, he would’ve had to cut ties with the central continent and return to the Holy Continent. Wizard Dolan said, “I’ve been through a lot with you, Master Bennett. I’ll help you out with this one. Golan and Doran also want that. If anyone were to doubt that you are Wizard Abel, a human, just get whoever that was to make an inquiry with the Moon Goddess. You are an elf recognized by the Moon Goddess. How will anyone dismiss that? Abel raised the crystal cup in his hand, “Understood, Wizard Dylan. If you’ve got anything you want or need, just come to my place anytime.” Wizard Dolanlaughed, “This delicious juice is all I need to be here. Master Bennett, I’ll come and help you out!” As a matter of fact, Abel’s already left too many hints ever since he first became Bennett the elf. That was before he received recognition from the Moon Goddess. The transformation necklace couldn’t seal away his human presence. Also, if one was to analyze how Master Bennett was going all the way back to the Holy Continent to target the Snow Spirit Mountain wizard group, there were plenty of cues and information that would’ve given Abel away. If Abel Wasn’t a major potion master with many connections even inside the Wizard Union, he would’ve been a major criminal almost already. Due to the result of the analysis this time, things had been coming out of the surface. Still, even then, Wizard Dolan was only here to send a very kind reminder.

Chapter 1148 - Pleasure Chapter 1148: Pleasure What happened over at the Wizard Union wasn’t major, but it did make Abel give up the idea of exposing his human identity. It was just as Wizard Dolan said. The Moon Goddess did acknowledge his elven identity, so no one was going to doubt that. Also, no one was going to bother the most influential potion master on the entire central continent. That didn’t stop him from not going out anymore, though. Abel’s stopped going out recently. He had been shutting himself inside the golden castle. The only thing he could improve on was himself, whether it was his combat ability or his potion-making skills. Right now, what Abel wanted to achieve the most was to reach the bottleneck stage of his alchemy. He didn’t know if he was too impatient, or if he didn’t possess enough potential. He was stuck in the same spot for three months. It was already April now, but he had not been anywhere yet. Inside the dark world, Abel spent an entire day fighting inside the Fire River. Finally, he brought his exhausted body back into the Pandemonium Castle. He didn’t choose to train immediately. Rather, he went ahead to the Rogue’s Encampment to check on the priest’s bone card. He wasn’t in a rush, but he estimated that it would only take one or two days for the damage on the card to recover on its own. Abel had been waiting for the card to recover for a while. He wanted to see if the legendary sacred knight would be resurrected to turned into his own contract creature. However, among the mana gathering circle, he could see that there was only a trace of the damage on the bone card. He had no choice, so he thought that he should just come back tomorrow. Abel turned his head around to look at the Horadric Malus that was placed at the Blacksmith Store. The Horadric Malus was always placed here, and every day, he would use the Horadric Malus to punch holes on his equipment, which was built by none other than himself. That, or they were trophies he picked up from corpses of hell creatures. Abel realized something when he picked up the Horadric Malus. Ever since he became an elf, he’s almost never thought about using his blacksmith skill to craft any weapons. He even forgot about his title as a grandmaster blacksmith. Watching the Horadric Malus in front of him, he even felt sorry for not having ever used it. He laughed and talked to the hammer, “Come with me, you! Make a sword for me!” Abel’s forgotten about all the exhaustion he’s felt for the day. He just wanted to forge a blade, something that he knew he was crafting on his own. He knew that he wasn’t going to make something as good as what he’s made himself, but here, he could feel that he was feeling more enthusiastic than ever before. Abel didn’t use Chasi’s blacksmith shop. Instead, he went ahead to pick the hell furnace that he cleaned before. The offering altar there was originally the best place for doing this. Although it was already getting pretty dark, it was glowing red where the hell furnace was. The lava that was surrounding the furnace was as clear as day. Standing in front of the offering altar, he took out the fine steel that he forged a while ago. He placed it amidst the lava that was beside the altar. The flame quickly melted the metal. His power of Will grasped the glowing hot metal. Abel held onto the Horadric Malus. He could feel something very real when he raised the hammer with his arm. It had been a while since he had made any weapons, but the sensation was the same as when he was dedicating most of his time to his blacksmith job. If he was to include the times he spent inside the dark world, it’d be about ten-something years since he’s started forging. When he slammed the Horadric Malus downward, he could feel that his soul was merged with the fine steel. The Horadric Malus was almost like his hand in the sense that it could mold the fine steel into whatever shape that he wished. Abel forgot some of the quicker methods he learned, so he only used the basic techniques as when he first became a blacksmith. A sense of joy came out of him. He smiled. Instead of saying that he was forging a weapon, it was almost like he was playing for fun. It was the purest form of joy. He was not forging for the sake of forging. Not for fame or wealth, either. This was just his hobby. While he was forging, he could feel that his mind was entering into quite a strange state. Since his soul was already purified many, many times with his water spirit fruit juice and the rabbit essence dishes, his soul should be the most stabilized inside the entire world. That being said, he shouldn’t feel much of a difference when he was doing anything like this, but it was different today. Every time he struck onto the fine steel, he could feel a tremble on the fine steel. He could feel every bit of change that was occurring to it. The fine steel was meld into a long sword, a knight’s long sword that was seldom used on the central continent. The long sword was just like the one he’s always forged when he was on the Holy Continent. Before he knew it, the lava that was floating nearby started projecting red lights towards the offering altar. Of course, he didn’t notice since he was too focused. After 500 strikes, Abel could feel that his entire body becoming a lot more refreshed. The knight’s long sword that was secured by the power of the Will was also starting to emit a very strong golden light. Followed by the emitting of the golden light, the energy was sucked in by the sword, and the final form of the sword was appearing right in front of him. This was a golden-quality knight’s long sword. It had his name on it. This was the very first golden-quality long sword he had ever crafted with his own hands. Hell Plague +2 fire skill +77% increase damage Increase 25-75 fire damage Increase 28-56 poison damage, last for 6 seconds 5% mana steal when hitting 5% life steal when hitting The weapon was nowhere close to the oak tree’s heart that he was holding, but this was something that he made himself. It had got a very fine attribute. If he was passing this to any fire element knight’s head commander, or a fire element wizard, he didn’t think that he would be turned down. “Ha, ha ha!” He laughed as he could feel the sword still sending off heat as he was holding it. He felt very happy. It was the purest form of happiness there was. A blacksmith was the first thing that he’s ever done, and it was the basis of his career on the Holy Continent. After coming to the central continent, he realized that the grandmaster blacksmith wasn’t treated so well on the central continent. It kind of led him to neglect his training. Now that he was getting back to it, he could feel that he was making progress very quickly. He also felt something very real, both physically and spiritually. As he laughed out loudly, he could feel a strange light that was produced from the alchemy rune inside his body. He didn’t feel afraid. If anything, he felt especially happy. The strange change that was taking place inside the rune meant that a breakthrough was close. A promotion qi was already rising out of him. Abel noticed something, “No! I can’t promote myself in the dark world.” Abel trusted his intuition when he said this. The promotion qi was already rising out to affect his main spirit, but his druid spirit still had some control over his power of the Will and activated a Town Teleportation Scroll. It was controlling his body to enter into the teleportation portal and back into the Pandemonium Fort. After that, the druid spirit controlled him to activate the waypoint and teleported him back to the Rogue’s Encampment. He opened the teleportation portal again and went back to the training room inside his golden castle on the central continent. It was still dawn. The half-even servants were busy. The two chefs were preparing breakfast. Butler Meyer was just treating the first batch of guests that were inside the dining room. It should just be another regular morning, but a strong promotion qi was rising out the main building of the golden castle. The ten guests that were inside the golden castle were amazed by it. Today, Druid Conrad was just bringing his student here. They were just enjoying themselves as they looked at the fresh morning light, and now they were waiting inside the dining room for their food. They waited for 40 days to be here, all so that there was a higher chase for his disciple to receive promotion. Another law-defying wizard asked, “What is this promotion qi? Why is it so strong?” The other law-defying wizard asked, “It’s over at Master Bennett’s residence! Did his dragon druid rank just increase?” Druid Conrad gave a certain reply, “No! This did not come from the druid!” It would be impossible to recognize that incorrectly. One law-defying wizard was uncertain, “Could it be someone else other than Master Bennett?” During this time, all the circles inside the golden castle were emitting light. It wasn’t that the circles were activated. The core of the circle was the work of the alchemist, and the works were only created to respond to this promotion qi. As though awaiting for themselves to be called, the alchemy items were responding very strongly to this promotion qi. Druid Conrad stared blankly towards the magic ring on his finger. The magic ring was the only defensive item he had on him. He wasn’t the type to participate in a lot of fights, so he didn’t care too much for it. Still, the ring on his hand was already starting to shine. The ring was already connected with the power of the Will, but in front of him, he couldn’t feel anything strange with the magic ring. The light that was emitted from the ring, however, seemed to be telling him that something strange was happening. It was the same for the other law-defying wizards. One law-defying wizard screamed, “What happened here? Why are the alchemy items coming alive?” All the ground, walls, and roofs were starting to shine. There were no telling how many circles that golden castle set up and how many precious ingredients were used. Everything was meant to be made with alchemy ingredients. On most days, no one would recognize the spell circles that were hidden. Now, everyone was starting to see just how terrifying the golden castle was to have so many reactivated rare ingredients used to build it. Druid Conrad thought of a possibility, “Was Master Bennett going to be promoted into a grandmaster? Bless the Goddess!” No one here was too weak to not recognize how different this promotion qi was to promotion qi of any regular combat class. This was a valid guess. However, there hadn’t been any potion grandmasters ever before in history, so no one was really there to validate any of their thoughts. If anything, whatever’s in front of them was already very clear. Within the area that could be sensed, all the alchemy items were responding very strongly towards this promotion qi. They were all shining and waiting for someone to arrive. Abel had no idea what was happening outside. He could feel the alchemist rune inside of him shattered and transformed into pure alchemy energy. He needed to recreate the grandmaster’s rune with this energy. It shouldn’t be an easy job, but anything’s easy with his world stone fragment. Something different happened, though. No matter how much he tried, he just couldn’t activate the alchemy energy. When he tried many times more, he could feel that small light sparks were shining around him. The light spots were flashing to affect the alchemy energy inside of him. As a matter of fact, it was always very dangerous for alchemists to make progress whenever they were inside the advanced rank. Throughout the whole central continent, there hadn’t been many master alchemists at all. The reason had definitely to do with the risk of it. Ever since a major war that ruined everything in ancient times, no one could really try to go from being a master alchemist to the rank of a grandmaster alchemist. As for the exact reason, that was already lost in history. Abel was really lucky to come all the way here. That, or he was cursed in a very special way.

Chapter 1149 - Promotion Chapter 1149: Promotion As a matter of fact, there weren’t a lot of requirements to promote into a grandmaster alchemist. All that was needed were plenty of alchemy items to withdraw the alchemy energy that was within the person of the target. When the master alchemist rune was broken, the alchemy energy that was transpired was enough to be turned into something that was more advanced. The energy was not meant to be done with the power of the Will. Sometimes, the energy could only accomplish it with its own vitality energy. This was very similar to how divine spirits generate worship power for themselves. To increase the amount of worship power for themselves, the divine spirits would often increase the number of followers so they could transform the energy to themselves to use. This was what’s happening to Abel as well. The alchemy rune inside him required much more alchemy items nearby to allow it to activate itself. This was very similar to the procedure of lifeform breeding on its own. Able’s alchemy energy continued to flash. He realized that the energy seemed to be forming a will of its own. On the outside, the entire golden castle, along with the super-sized teleportation circle, was starting to flash on and off. It wasn’t just the entire castle, actually. The alchemy potions inside the warehouse were also starting to do the same. Everyone inside the golden castle stopped doing whatever it was that they were doing. The servants also left whatever it was that they were doing. The chefs forgot about the dishes that they were making. Butler Meyer forgot to invite the guests over. The guests dropped their jaws and watched, despite how each and every one of them had all seen their fair share of unusual things. The conscience that was formed out of the alchemy energy was quite simple. From what Abel could sense, it was basically a simple calculator. He went ahead and transferred his alchemy energy towards the grandmaster rune. The complicated pattern made him worried that it would be a collapse very quickly. As a matter of fact, the simple conscience of the alchemy energy was much more complicated than he had originally imagined. As the grandmaster alchemy rune was inserted, the alchemy items flashed on their own in response. At the same time, they turned into their own shape. Every time they flashed, they would be changing their own power on their own. If Abel was promoting himself inside the dark world, none of this would’ve happened. Again, it was all thanks to his own intuition. He trusted his own intuition, which was why he was so quick to return to the golden castle. As a matter of fact, without the right heritage, most wouldn’t have access to structures that were as densely packed with alchemy materials as the castle. The other alchemists could reach a maximum threshold as much as they would’ve wanted, but they would still fail due to their lack of required materials. Abel just watched the alchemy energy inside of him moving on its own. He could clearly see the grandmaster rune forming on its own. The process was very slow. Of course, The promotion qi inside of him was not weakened. Before, the promotion qi of the class holders would only last for one or two hours before they disappeared. As for him, however, the total activation lasted for six hours. It went from morning all the way till noon, but there had been no signs of weakening whatsoever. Eventually, more and more people knew about the phenomenon taking place at the golden castle. Everyone that Abel had shown acknowledgment before was starting to come. Many arrived at his teleportation circle and were petrified inside the teleportation room. Because of how many there were, Butler Meyer had to remind them not to take up too much space. Among them were Master Muir, Master Balfour, and Master Nolan. Master Balfour, who was the oldest, had tears in his eyes when he sensed this promotion qi. Master Balfour touched the light that was nearby, “Yes! Master Bennett is promoted to become a grandmaster!” In front of him, the road that was originally closed was turned into something new because of Master Bennett. The other two also cried because what they were looking at was something that the Potionmaster Guild would have a lot of fun celebrating. Butler Meyer reminded them, “Masters! Would you please move to the hallroom?” Master Balfour nodded, “Yes! We’ll wait for Mater Bennett inside the hallroom!” Master Nolan laughed, “We’ll be calling him Grandmaster Bennett soon, I can imagine. Ha ha!” The three masters were teleported to the hallroom under the help of the circle spirit. In the midst of this process, all the guests were sure that Master Bennett was promoted to become a potion master. They’ve made a guess before, but the guess became a confirmed fact as soon as the three potion masters made sure. Meanwhile, Wizard Clemens was just sorting through the information that was sent to him from all his men. One piece of information, in particular, caught his attention. Usually, every information that was marked would usually be of something especially important. He needed to be the very first one to inspect and deal with this. He opened the information and was shocked by what he was looking at. He then became very pleased because of this. To demonstrate how happy he was for Master Bennett, he even took the risk of blocking information from the intel analysis spirit and made a secret arrangement with some legendary wizards that were good with Master Bennett. As a matter of fact, he’s already become a traitor of the Wizard Union. If he was exposed later, he would’ve been in a lot of trouble. However, if Master Bennett was to become the very first, one, and only grandmaster potion master in the entire history of the continent, there wouldn’t be anything to worry about any longer. The divine potions Master Bennett would be able to craft would make anyone forgive anything underhanded that might’ve happened. Wizard Clemens stood up and disappeared, “I’ve got to go to the golden castle! I’ll be the first one to congratulate Grandmaster Bennett!” WIzard Dolan also received this information. He didn’t care too much about information, but he did care a lot about things related to Master Bennett. The staff members would naturally do everything they could to provide service to the grandmaster wizard. They knew that Wizard Dolan was interested in Master Bennett, so as long as they could receive the information, they immediately made haste towards where WIzard Dolan lived. Wizard Dolan said in awe, “I didn’t know that Master Bennet was promoting to be a grandmaster! Actually, why do I even need to inform him anything about it? When’s the last time anyone was going to try to go against a grandmaster alchemist?” It appeared that they’d have to go again, however. Wizard Dolan decided to teleport towards the golden castle. Inside the Iron Furnace Fort, the dwarven king Gunther was just holding a piece of information in his hand. His expression was full of joy. The dwarven king cried, “Quick! Bring Wizard Hutton here! Send out the word and send the 15 floating forts straight towards the golden castle. I want them as a gift to Master, no, Grandmaster Bennett!” Originally, the 15 battle forts were only meant to be trading items, but after hearing that Abel was promoted into a grandmaster alchemist, the dwarven king decided that he must show his goodwill to Abel to the fullest extent. Also, yes, unlike the other people on the central continent, the dwarves knew that the legendary Master Bennett was not only a potion master but also a very prominent forgery master. It was why they’ve always wanted to form a good relationship with him. All the master-level forgery items that they needed were meant to be manufactured by Master Bennett, and Master Bennett was never the type to create any waste. He’d also create the finest pieces with the least amount of materials gone to waste. As long as Abel could become a grandmaster alchemist, it’d be the best thing there was for the dwarves. The super war machines were the basis of the power that the dwarves needed to survive in this world. However, due to the influence of time, there have been quite a lot of problems. The dwarves could try to find alternatives for many other problems, but for the grandmaster-level items, they’ve never been able to solve them on their own. Wizard Hutton appeared inside the palace and bowed, “You were looking for me, your Majesty?” The dwarven king passed a parchment paper over, “You head over to the golden castle immediately, Wizard Hutton. I want you to bring the most sincere congratulations we dwarves had to offer.” Wizard Hutton took the paper over and saw the content writing on it. He couldn’t help but widen his eyes. He didn’t think that it was possible for there to ever be a grandmaster alchemist. Actually, the next thing he thought about was his student, Bernie. As Master Bennett’s good friend, Bernie just became much more prestigious amongst the dwarves. Wizard Hutton quickly bowed, “Yes, your Majesty! I’ll bring the greetings of the dwarves very quickly!” The dwarven king spoke, “How about you bring the 15 floating fort bases over?” On the entire central continent, everyone that was good with Abel was doing one thing. They were sending their own representatives over to the golden castle. Abel never thought that one promotion would last this long. It had been ten hours already, and the grandmaster rune inside of him was only starting to take a complete shape. When the last rune was formed, the promotion qi quickly withdrew. Instead of changing his physique in any shape or form, it went straight towards his soul. Very quickly, Abel could feel that his soul was like it was soaked in warm water. His power of the Will was becoming more focused than before. The power of the Will was extended to a distance of 1500 meters. This was an extension of more than half of his maximum range. This would make sense for an alchemist because although they were not required to be as mentally as tough as wizards, they would have to possess a power of the Will that was better than most. After promoting his own strength, since all the brewing difficulty was increased, more power of the Will was required for putting this to work. All the promotion qi gained must be used for growing the power of the Will. The growth was meant to be subtle, but for a wizard like Abel, this boost in his power of the Will was much, much more than anything he’s seen before. It could be said that everything within his 1500 meter range would be open for his spell attack. That’s already much more than the maximum range of 800 meters for law-defying wizards. In situations such as this, the first thing that Abel could do was to unleash his first spell attacks. He thought that he needed to run when he was facing danger, but his teleportation was just not capable of being matched by other law-defying wizards. The last promotion qi entered into his soul, and he could, at least, feel that his grandmaster rune was becoming more secure. Just when Abel thought that his promotion ended, a dark golden light was emitted inside his rune. The strength of the light was so strong that it just passed through his body, and his body was becoming something of a giant light-emitting object. It wasn’t just his body, actually. The defensive circle he set up, his training room, the walls, and other things couldn’t block this dark golden light. The dark golden light was almost the same as the promotion qi he was under the influence of just then. Every alchemy item within this range was affected. The influence was towards a positive direction, of course. For example, all the cores of the circles inside the golden castle were elevated by one small level. It’s almost like his rune was starting to be buffed. Of course, the only thing that was elevated was not just the circle core. Every alchemy item that remained on everyone was also buffed. Take the example of the magic ring on Druid Conrad’s finger. The ring could generate two self-defense barriers every day, but that limit was pushed to three times with higher sturdiness. Even the materials that were used to build the ring were strengthened such that they could influence the effect of the ring in a much more pronounced manner.

Chapter 1150 - : Getting Crowdy Chapter 1150: Getting Crowdy As soon as one item with forgery material engraved onto it began to change, all the class holders within the golden castle started to take notice. Sounds of fright could be heard everywhere. They didn’t know that the appearance of a grandmaster alchemist would just change the alchemy materials. What happened here was basically a miracle. Everyone was glad to just be here over at the golden castle. They made it on time to witness someone that no one saw before, and that also boosted their alchemy items. Of course, not everyone was enthusiastic. Some of the class holders that came late already had their promotion qi withdrawn. Their alchemy items did not resonate with Abel’s rune, and thus they didn’t make use of the promotion. When Abel opened his eyes, he noticed that something was different from before. From what he could sense, he could tell that there were alchemy items within the 1500 meter range all around. He didn’t feel the same way any time before. From what he could sense, the entire castle itself was a giant structure that was made with countless alchemy items. Before, the alchemy items remained hidden so that they couldn’t be passed through with the power of the Will. If they were regular circles, only the most crucial parts could be created with the alchemy ingredients. Within the many materials that were hidden, it’d be impossible to figure this out without breaking the inside apart. Now, however, he could sense every single ingredient that was related to alchemy. Or, more specifically, he could sense the runes himself. Very quickly, Abel could feel that the “Starlight defensive circle” and the Fire Tooth Fort on it were attracted by his rune. If anything, the battle fort was no longer the same as when he couldn’t figure out its components. He could now see that all the ingredients were made with alchemy ingredients, the type that could bend their shapes and use up energy to repair themselves. They also possessed a high defensive power in that they could generate any spell circles on their own. It would be hard to imagine what those people from ancient times did to get so many alchemy materials. In the world today, all alchemy ingredients were small-sized. The larger ones required, such as the one for the skyships, would often need it for the main control circle, and that was only something that a master alchemist like Abel could accomplish. As for the battle fort, which was a super large structure, they were all made with ingredients that were already used at least once before. It was no wonder the materials were all made artificially. If there was still anything that Abel wasn’t sure of, it’d be the recipes that were used for the alchemy runes. For his current level, it’d be hard to create the ingredients that were the same level. Now that his ingredients were boosted, he knew it himself that the same thing must’ve happened to all the class holders nearby. However, he was the one receiving the most benefit. Many class holders would only possess a few small-sized alchemy items. Most of them were rings, necklaces, and chains. They did receive their buffs, but there was a certain limit. What the golden castle received was much, much more than those. For instance, all the circles that were inside the golden castle were boosted. A total of 20% defensive capability was added. More importantly, the battle forts that were used to build the starlight defensive circle received a boost as well. The materials were reinforced to the point that maybe the sacred knight’s “divine’ crystal” might just not be able to do any damage to it. Abel couldn’t help but shake his head, “We’re going out! The promotion’s been quite major!” As a matter of fact, the promotion he received this time surpassed all the ones before. Everyone he was connected to came to congratulate him for it. It was the same for his friends. By this point, the hallroom inside the golden castle could no longer contain all the guests. The other side doors all opened on their own. The small guest meeting rooms were opened. The dining rooms and the restaurants were open. All the guests could finally find their place. Abel didn’t go ahead towards the hallroom. He went to the bathrooms near the training room. Because of all his sweat, he made sure he was cleaning himself enough to meet with everyone who was here to see him. He washed his body and changed into an elven robe, something that was standard for the elven druids. The point wasn’t to make himself look good or to receive some sort of buff. Rather, it was just to make a disguise over his dark-world equipment. Abel spoke, “Bring me to the hallroom, circle spirit!” Under white light, his shadow appeared in the hallroom. As soon as he appeared, the class holders around him quickly found him. They all began to cheer for him, “Congratulations, Master Bennett!” Abel smiled and bowed, “Thank you! Thank you! Sorry, all, I couldn’t make it to treat you. I just had a promotion.” Master Balfour was too happy to care, “Grandmaster! Can I, um, touch your grandmaster’s rune?” It wasn’t like Master Balfour didn’t believe that it wasn’t there. He just wanted to touch it. Abel understood why he would be this enthusiastic, so he didn’t say anything and just unleashed his grandmaster’s rune. Master Balfour screamed, “Wow! What! I can’t believe it! The grandmaster’s rune!” As for Master Muir and Master Nolan, they were also just wandering in amazement. Their youth made it extra motivating for them to know that perhaps, one day, they could reach where Abel was at now. A loud voice silenced many others, “Master Bennett! To think that you’ve become a grandmaster in just a few months… I … On behalf of the Wizard Union, I’ve come here to congratulate you!” No guests dared to express their dissatisfaction. They could see that five legendary wizards were standing in the air. The one that was speaking to Abel was Wizard Dolan, who just arrived a few months earlier. Abel smiled and bowed to the legendary wizards, “Wizard Dolan, Wizard Golan, Wizard Doran, Wizard Lakin, Wizard Luke, it is an honour to see you here. So sorry about the mess.” He was a bit embarrassed to look at the other guests nearby. They were all class holders representing the different influential groups on the central continent. Because of how many there were, he’s no longer even capable of finding places to set the legendary wizards. Of course, apart from the public places, he could see that some of the private rooms were still locked. He wouldn’t want to use those places to treat the guest, however, because that’d be too rude. Wizard Dolan stood in the air, “Everyone! Grandmaster Bennett just received a promotion. Some more time is still needed for reinforcement. Before Grandmaster Bennett’s done, the Wizard Union will go ahead to host a promotion ceremony. Please leave now if you can! We’ll make sure to invite everyone when the ceremony opens!” No one objected to the idea. There were too many people, and it wasn’t like Abel could speak to most of them. They only came here to see congratulations, so they could just leave when they were gone. With that, the guests bowed to Abel and left. At the same time, some of the guests that were sending the gifts promptly dropped theirs as they followed Butler Meyer and the other three followers’ instructions. Wizard Hutton cried out as he bowed to Abel, “Grandmaster Bennett! His Majesty wants you to visit the dwarves some time!” Abel quickly replied, “Of course! I’ll be there soon!” By the way, no one mentioned anything about the gifts, not even Wizard Hutton with his 15 battle forts. The guests were just leaving. Abel couldn’t help but let out a long breath in relief. He bowed and invited the five wizards in the air, “Come over here, please.” On the side was the guest meeting room. The guests inside were already starting to leave. The half-elven servants hurried themselves up to tidy everything. The five legendary wizards looked at each other and dropped from the sky. They were walking into the guest meeting room with Abel. They really did their part to acknowledge Abel. They were treating Abel as their equal. Before, Abel was “just” a very prominent wizard that could supply the light recovery potions and the mana potions. Now, things were going in a completely different direction now that he was a grandmaster potion master. As a matter of fact, no one’s ever told him that a grandmaster alchemist was the same in status as a legendary combat class holder. Abel smiled, “Thank you, I must say. I wouldn’t know how to provide food to them now that there were so many of them!” Abel was just joking when he said that. That made all the guests laugh. The mood was getting more relaxed. The five wizards were all inside the guest meeting room. Although the five wizards were trying to suppress the essence, it did make the guests feel a bit tenser. When the five wizards went inside the guest meeting room, the servants were also starting to serve things slower because of it. Abel had to tell them to leave. Wizard Dolan placed a badge on the table, “Grandmaster Bennett, now that five of us are here, we’re representing the Wizard Union to invite you to become the honorary elder of the Wizard Union.” Abel could feel the goodwill of Wizard Dolan. He could also see that the other four were smiling at him. Abel put the badge in his hands, “If I may ask, what missions would you assign to an honorary elder?” Wizard Dolan explained, “Nothing, really. Honorary elders of the Wizard Union are just supposed to have more access. From this point on, Grandmaster Bennett, if you want something to be done, the Wizard Union will make sure to do it for you!” Abel was quite perplexed. The Wizard Union was quite strange for doing something like this. Well, that was only if he knew about how significant it’d be for him to become a grandmaster from such an early age when literally no one else managed to accomplish that before. Wizard Laking smiled, “I’ll make it clear for you, Grandmaster Bennett. If you happen to run into something else that’s similar to Snow Spirit Mountain, do make sure that you’re not solving it on your own. This is not to help your enemies, but the Wizard Union wants to protect your safety at all given chances. Your enemy is ours, so we’ll make sure to send those whom we feel comfortable sending to clear off your enemies for you.” The Wizard Union would not risk the safety of a grandmaster alchemist, even if he was a very competent fighter himself, by exposing him to any sort of fight. As a matter of fact, Abel’s worth was already much higher different than before. He used to be able to bring three legendary wizards to do any mission for him, but from this point onward, it’d simply be impossible for him to take part in anything. Abel picked up the badge and placed it inside his portal bag, “I understand now. I’m perfectly willing to accept becoming an honorary elder.” Wizard Laking laughed out loudly, “You’ll become one of us then! Remember, Grandmaster Bennett, whether you are willing or not willing to let someone else go after your target, the Wizard Union will also give you full support. You will have all the rights in settling your affairs, but we will not turn down anything that it is you may need our help with.” During this time, Abel’s follower, Druid Joseph, started to come in and bring the water spirit fruit juice for all of them. They then backed away humbly. Wizard Dolan raised the cup and smiled, “For Grandmaster Bennett, our honorary elder!’ The other wizards raised their cups, “For Grandmaster Bennett!” Abel raised his cup, “For our friendship!” Something about Abel’s word choice made the legendary wizards very pleased. It was almost like what he said had given them a lot of benefits.

Chapter 1151 - Attempting Chapter 1151: Attempting Wizard Dolan drank his juice and smiled, “Grandmaster Bennett, as long as we have your consent, no one will have anything to do with Wizard Abel!” Someone was already going after Abel’s stone giant when he laid it out. Now that he was a grandmaster alchemist, things were becoming much, much easier for him to handle this kind of unnecessary trouble. Abel replied with a smile, “Understood, Wizard Dolan.” Wizard Dolan smiled and asked, “Right. Would you blame me if I’m took charge over everything happening in the promotion ceremony?” Wizard Dolan already prepared the honorary elder badge when he came. As long as Abel could be promoted to become a grandmaster alchemist, he would’ve had to be the one to become the elder. The Wizard Union had to keep him within their system in a sense. This was crucial to them keeping their authority on the central continent. Because of this, Wizard Dolan had to go in advance to help host the promotion ceremony for Abel. Now that he was saying it out right now, he was just trying to find a way to apologize how he might’ve been too brash for Abel’s likings. Abel seemed to understand, “I thank you for your help, Wizard Dolan. Actually, I’ve never hosted this promotion ceremony.” As a matter of fact, Abel never made considerations regarding this. He didn’t think that the promotion should be something that would come so naturally. He didn’t even think that it was necessary, in a sense. However, he didn’t really understand what it was that grandmaster alchemists could do. It would be understandable for him to underestimate the role of a grandmaster alchemist in general. As for the records of the grandmaster alchemist, they would only exist in some of the confidential information of the major groups. He wouldn’t have the chance to look them up himself. Wizard Dolan continued and asked, “Whenever you are free, Grandmaster Bennet. We’ll be commencing the promotion ceremony.” Abel considered and spoke to him, “Five days later, I suppose. I’ll have to get familiar with my own abilities first.” Wizard Dolan asked again, “It’s agreed, then. Five days later, there shouldn’t be that much space inside the golden castle. Would you pick the Bay Law Palace or the Wizard Union Headquarters?” Abel thought about his elven identity, “Bay Law City Palace is a better choice.” It’s to do with reciprocating the help the elves had provided him. The reason that Wizard Dolan said five days later had really a lot to do with his own thoughts. On the one hand, Abel really needed to get familiar with his grandmaster alchemist’s ability. On the other hand, it should just take about one or two hands for the bone card to recover completely. For the bone card to recover on its own, Abel waited for about half a year. He’s had a lot of expectations for the contract item of a legendary sacred knight. As for the promotion ceremony, if it wasn’t to calm everyone down, Abel would’ve never bothered having such a pointless ceremony. For now, the five legendary wizards were leaving. Of course, they all had their synthesized (twice) water spirit fruit juices when they left. Before they left, they would also have their food inside the small dining room. Most of the other guests had already left, but some of the ones that made their reservations to eat remained. Abel didn’t bother with them. Instead, he went to Butler Meyer in his study. Butler Meyer was very excited, of course. Before, he was just a butler in charge of a mansion in the outskirts, but ever since he’s been on Abel’s side, he’s been going up in terms of his status. Right now, he was the most important butler to the entire elven race. He was in charge of a lot of things inside the elven royal palace. While other butlers were dealing with noblemen, he was literally spending all day interacting with some of the most influential people of this world. He was a legend in his own sense basically. Today, that fact was reconfirmed given how his record was filled with the names of the presents that were sent from everywhere in the world. Butler Meyer brought the book over, “This is the present list for today, Master. Please have a look yourself.” Abel smiled and took it over, “You’ve had a busy day.” Abel was shocked when he opened the book. There were so many more presents than usual. For example, the elven Royal Palace was sending an entire bottle of the life elixir and a royal garden that was outside of Bay Law City. For the Wizard Union, it was even more direct. They were sending 2000 low-tier light stones over. Some of the legendary wizards were also sending light stone covers. The Wizard Union must’ve paid extra attention to what it was that he wanted. Abel was even more pleased with the dwarves, “They got me 15 battle forts!” Very quickly, however, he felt very disappointed. If the battle forts could be sent earlier, they might have increased in quality. Abel shook his head, “Ha, maybe I’m too greedy.” The price of the battle forts had been going way up ever since he made it public that he was in demand for it. Before, the battle forts were just an item for collection, but now, it was a crucial resource that could be traded in exchange for his potions. Given how few the forts were, it had only been several months since he’s been making purchases. As for the other gifts, Abel didn’t bother to look. He was just trying to activate the battle fort so that it could be reinforced within the defense of the golden fort. He wanted to reinforce the starlight defensive circle. In the backyard of the golden castle, he could see that the dwarves were already sending the battle forts over. He didn’t get to see a complete set, and that kind of made him disappointed. The Fire Tooh Battle Fort was his only complete set at the moment, while the others were basically supplementary pieces that could be added into the starlight defensive circle. Abel fields the energy slots of the battle fort with top-level gemstones. After that, he used the battle command spirit and had his name written in it. Every time he activated one battle fort, he would add another battle fort into his divine portal bag. With the one that he received recently, there would be about 23 in total. It would take him several hours to be finished with all of them. Most of the time, the forts would be using their spirits for self-repairing when they were awakened. Following that, Abel teleported himself onto the starlight defensive large circle. The addition of the battle fort would elevate the defense. Abel stood up the circle and ordered, “Circle spirit! Bring the setup blueprint to me!’ The circle spirit’s voice came over, “Yes, Master!” Abel could see a visualized image of the starlight circle. Among the many stars that were illustrated, there were twenty that were sparkling in green. Those were the fixed joints of the battle fort. Among the others, 23 seemed extremely clear. Those were the battles he was setting up today. What he needed to do next was to pinpoint these spots and activate the forts onto them. With the help of the divine portal bag, the job became a lot easier. In just five minutes, Abel was placing the 23 battle forts onto the positions. Abel ordered, “Activate the circle,!” The circle spirit did so and revealed stars throughout the starlight defensive large circle. Even the sunlight was not bright enough to cover all of this. The 20 starlights were increased to 43, and that indicated to Abel that the defensive power of the golden castle was now, truly, the best on the central continent. After doing all of this, Abel returned to the master’s building. He was heading inside the alchemy room. He didn’t go ahead and began the brew immediately. Before this, he needed to see what was going on with the honorary elder of the Wizard Union. He went ahead and placed the badge onto the alchemy table circle. The circle was connected to the same system as what the Wizard Union used to assign missions and exchange points. Before this, he was always using his potion master badge to do this. A screen was displayed on the alchemy table. It was unlike anything he’s seen before. All the words were gold. The content was also very different. Inside were requirements for the trade. The one’s trading were all rank 24 or 25 advanced wizards. Abel had heard of some of them. Some of them he hadn’t. For example, he did see something that Wizard Dolan put up. It was about trading 10000 low-tier light stones for a “life-prolonging potion.” The ingredients would be provided by Wizard Dolan himself. The light stones would be given in full sum regardless of whether the craft was a success or not. Abel was finally starting to under it when he saw that the requirement was “grandmaster potionmaster.” He remembered Wizard Dolan telling him that he was free to turn down anyone’s request, and this must be what this meant. The Wizard Union was using the system to assign missions. What he needed to do was to do it. If he didn’t want to, he didn’t have to care. Of course, the 10000 light stones was definitely a huge incentive. As a matter of fact, Abel couldn’t really refuse 10000 light stones. He’s got too much to ask for it. He would be very satisfied to earn extra, of course. Now that he’s earned the full respect of the Wizard Union, he was definitely not going to back away from this. Funnily enough, still, the mission was for grandmaster potion masters. Abel was the only one in the entire world. Abel thought that it was funny, but he didn’t accept it right away. He had much more important things to do at the moment. He had plenty of time in the future. Of course, he was still very curious about the life-prolonging potions. At least he’s never seen the name of the potion while he was still inside the Potionmaster’s Guild. For a potion like the life-prolonging, it was truly bizarre that Wizard Dolan was willing to pay 10000 low-tier light stones for it. The life-prolonging potion was not supposed to be a regular potion, but something worth 10000 low-tier sacred knights. Even the frontline couldn’t always guarantee that number. Most of the time, it was only several hundred soldiers acting in one small formation. Abel shook his head, “I’ll accept it first, then consider.” Abel then saw that there were two other missions that required the help of the grandmaster potion masters. The legendary wizards were already waiting for him to help them out. He could even see that the payment and the missions were literally the same. Abel took the badge of the alchemy table. He turned off the screen and brought out a natural breathing ingredient. The natural breathing ingredient was for the big druids to use. It was meant to be a master-level potion. Now that the elves were producing their own ingredients, the monthly portions were now all gathered into his hands, while the other three potion masters would only take missions that were specific to their preferences. Abel was not wasting any of the ingredients he got, and while he was already receiving fewer spares than the others, he was still capable of saving up more than the other ones. For the “natural breathing,” the usual brew success rate was one out of five. The elves had to leave all the ingredients for Abel to handle. Because breathing was so important to the elves, most of the herbs grown inside the herb garden were meant for it. They were also the best for big druid training, so the more “natural breathing” there was, the faster the big druids would elevate their powers. By the way, this was the first time that Abel brewed the master-level potion after he became a grandmaster. When he picked up the ingredients, he could see that all the ingredients in front of him were affected by his grandmaster’s rune. The ingredients continued to react inside his alchemy bottle. The more ingredients he added, the less he needed to use any special specials. However, under the influence of the grandmaster’s rune, the change was really starting to change on their own. He started to notice after adding the last ingredients. It had only been ten minutes so far, but before, it’d only take two hours for him to brew the master-level potion. As the seven lights rose up. All that remained was the golden light. Abel didn’t use any of his special abilities like the Horadric Cube, the synthesized water, or the activation of his world stone fragment. Just like this, he received a golden quality bottle of “natural breathing.”

Chapter 1152 - Wale Chapter 1152: Wale Abel was satisfied with his alchemy level after hitting the grandmaster rank. Before, he used to have all kinds of cheats to get his potions to blue quality. Now, all of that was useless. He was only relying on the grandmaster rune inside of him to brew golden quality potions. The time required for the brew was also greatly reduced. Still, he was very confused about how blatant the ways these legendary wizards were trying to gain his favor. These missions they assigned him were probably meant so that they could talk to him in person. He wasn’t going to refuse, of course. With ease, he took out the 30 portions of the “natural breathing” ingredients and began his one-time brew. Even if the purpose was to brew master-level potions, the procedure was still as easy as breathing. In ten more minutes, the thirty golden quality potions were in front of him. He spoke to the research spirit, “Research spirit, bring the twenty bottles back to the Potion Master’s Guild. The remaining is going back into the warehouse. The offerings will only be golden quality natural breathings from now on.” It was clear that the grandmaster alchemist’s ability was to convert any potions to gold quality. Abel didn’t have to hide that about him, as it was surely going to boost the status of the elven druids. In front of him, the natural breathing was quickly disappearing after being teleported by the research spirit. Abel wasn’t working anymore. It was getting late, so he needed to get back into the dark world. Master Nolan cried out, “Master Muir! Would you look at these potions!” Master Muir rushed towards Master Nolan’s office, “What’s this about, Master Nolan?” He understood quickly when he saw the twenty bottles that were on the table. He looked both unsettled and confused. Given that there were now a bunch of golden-quality natural breathings for use, there were no longer any big druids that would want regular potions. Master Muir had already made plans on how to distribute the potions that Grandmaster Bennett had no more use for, but from what it looked like, Master Bennett’s production rate was just too rapid and too much to be scheduled. Abel only took a few minutes to create the master-level “natural breathings.” He didn’t think that the ingredients would have much of an effect on the other potion masters. Master Muir murmured, “Grandmaster Bennett is too powerful!” Master Nolan laughed, “This is good, Master Muir. The Potionmaster’s Guild is finally getting the recognition that it deserves!” Master Muir laughed, “That’s true!” The Potionmaster’s Guild was just another elven guild that was meant to represent one type of class. It was big in its own way, but that wouldn’t matter so much on the central continent. Now, however, as long as you were a member of the Potionmaster’s Guild, you would almost always be guaranteed to receive rewards anywhere on the central continent. This was all thanks to Grandmaster Bennett. He was the one who changed the overall perception of the Potionmaster’s Guild. Abel was just standing amidst the Rogue’s Encampment. He was watching the bone card that was amidst the mana gathering circle. He looked a bit nervous. The bone card was now already recovered on its own. All the cracks on the surface were now gone. The divine item was as good as brand new. Abel reached out his hand to grab the divine bone card and took out the corpse of the legendary sacred knight from his personal storage box. He placed the corpse in front of him, and he activated the bone card with his power of the Will. An “absorption power” was instantly generated as he enchanted the “resurrection” spell. He knew what it was that the bone card required. As the crystal angelic statue was guiding the worship power into the bone card, pale white light was what shone out of it. The “resurrection spell” was coming out of the bone card, then it flew straight towards the sacred knight that was lying dead on the ground. When the corpse started to jump on its own, Abel knew that his resurrection attempt succeeded. He wasn’t pleased in the least because of it, however. Now that the resurrection was successful, he thought that perhaps he should be flying off the ground. He still had his uncertainties, however. “Perhaps he just didn’t possess his own soul. He didn’t have the ability to control himself.” Abel didn’t feel good about that. The legendary sacred knight was probably much weaker than he had thought. Of course, the resurrection process hadn’t ended yet. The most crucial part hadn’t started. Abel was watching in pain as he looked towards the divine bone card that was cracked open. The crack was much more severe than before. Luckily, the card remained complete and was not completely cracked open. As long as it was not completely broken, the piece would always be able to return on its own. He just hoped that it wouldn’t take too long. Slowly and carefully, Abel placed the bone card back into his mana-gathering circle. His movements were very light, as he didn’t want to add more pressure so the bone card would be turned into fragments. There were many corpses inside his personal storage box that he had yet to bring back to life. Abel processed his bone card and took out his soul potions. He fed the soul potions to the legendary sacred knights that came back to life. After expending ten bottles of it, meek souls rose out of their bodies. He was very pleased with that, of course. He was successful in every step he was taking. Following that, Abel used the mount enhancement technique to sign a spirit contract with the legendary sacred knights. The legendary sacred knight’s soul was still quite weak. With as little as a conscience that was barely present, Abel didn’t have to use up much of his spiritual pact’s capacity to claim ownership. Speaking of which, Abel’s capacity was already much more than how much the legendary class holders could contain. He had been hiding some of his contract creatures from everyone else, so in actuality, he was also holding much more contract creatures than what others thought he had. If a law-defying wizard tried to form a contract with, say, Frankenstein, that would’ve already taken out almost all the spiritual capacity. Abel picked the smart path. He was forming a contract when the soul was just a newborn, such that the capacity taken would be the same as if he was forming with a baby chick. After the spiritual pact was formed, what Abel needed to do next was to activate the legendary sacred knight’s body. To other class holders, this was pretty much impossible, but all it took was for his one bottle of the “full recovery vitality potion” to recover the knight completely. For the full recovery vitality potion, as long as the soul of the user remained intact, he could always bring the body back to full health. This was pretty much thanks to the dimensional force of the potion. Now that the legendary sacred knight was becoming his contract creature, the bone card was emptied once more. Abel resurrected one sacred knight before, so it wasn’t really all that difficult to pass the skills of a sacred knight to the legendary one he just called back now. He could just pass all the skills that Izual had to him. That would require him to continuously supply the “soul potions,” given how much spiritual damage that would inflict upon the legendary sacred knight. Still, the number of spiritual potions used was far less than what Abel expected. This was because all the skills he transferred were already turned to max. It could even be said that the legendary sacred knight in front of him was already a class holder that could be put to combat straightaway. Abel looked towards the knight in front of him, “Your name is Wale from now on.” The legendary sacred knight called Wale did not seem to possess too much conscience. Apart from his fighting instinct, there wasn’t so much that was left in his memories. There wasn’t even a bit of reaction when Abel called its name. Abel slapped his head as he realized how weak the soul was. Very quickly, he took out the soul potions and fed them to Wale. Wale’s soul was becoming much stronger very quickly. For this legendary sacred knight, Abel spent quite a bit himself. He was using a total of 200 bottles of the soul potions straight to Knight Wale, such that the soul was elevated to the point of a five-year-old. To this extent, Abel didn’t bother giving more soul potions to Knight Wale. Wale’s soul was actually growing too fast. Without enough time, Abel was afraid that he would be in too much of a rush that he would destroy the soul before it took long. He was just doing enough that Wale could understand his orders. Whether it had to do with the sacred knight’s class or the fact that Abel was the one that granted the soul, the first thing that Knight Wale did when it gained the ability to think was to kneel before Abel. Abel felt very good because of it. It was a legendary figure kneeling in front of him. Of course, he could only keep this to himself and not boast about it in front of others. He didn’t want the other legendary figures to treat him as enemies. Abel commanded, “You go up, Wale!” Knight Wale understood his orders immediately. He opened his hands wide, and while Abel was still anticipating, he dropped to the ground. Knight Wale seemed to be feeling that something was off with his body. Given his current condition, it would be possible to fly at will. However, the environment around him did not allow him to fly. Instead, the gravity was pushing him heavily on the ground. Abel brought Knight Wale to the Fire River, “That’s strange. Let’s try how you fight.” He called out Knight Bruce. Knight Bruce was coming to the Fire River. He then called Bruce out and quickly switched the gears that Knight Wale prepared. The hearts that Wale had temporarily were identical to Knight Bruce. There were the “theory” rune, the “spirit” sword, “spirit” shield, and “knowledge” helmet. It was all to see how much the fighting capabilities of the two differed. Abel went ahead and found a “king of the pit” that was alone. He was letting Knight Wale and Knight Bruce handle their own fight. As for him, he switched on his world stone fragment and observed as carefully as he could to see the difference between the two. Knight Wale was at rank 26 while Knight Bruce was at 22. They had the exact same gear when they fought each other. The result was that Knight Wale had an overwhelming advantage over Knight Bruce. This was not different from anything that Abel was expecting. Abel was very disappointed, though. He did see Knight Wale win, but his fighting ability wasn’t as strong as he wished to see from those that were from the central continent. Instead, what he saw was pretty much just the advantage that resulted from having a higher rank. If Abel had to make it clear what it was that he wanted to see, it’d be the scene of Knight Wale overwhelming Knight Bruce with nothing except his presence. Theoretically, Knight Wale wouldn’t even have to move to take the victory. Abel didn’t understand what was happening, “What exactly happened?” His senses told him that the resurrection was successful. There had been no problem whatsoever with Knight Wale’s resurrection.

Chapter 1153 - Cause Chapter 1153: Cause Abel brought a few more hell creatures to be test with Knight Wale and Knight Bruce. The result ended up being the same. He thought that Knight Wale would be flying in the air and overwhelm the incoming hell creatures with his powerful presence, sweeping through the entire field with his attack beams. That turned out to be nothing more than wishful thinking. Abel brought Knight Wale and Knight Bruce back to the Rogue’s Encampment. He was letting the two sacred knights stand in front of him. This was the Rogue’s Encampment. This was where he possessed some of the abilities that a divine spirit would have. He could clearly sense everything intricate that was going on with Knight Wale’s body. He was comparing it to Knight Bruce’s to see if there was anything wrong happening. As a matter of fact, there was really no point in doing this kind of observation. Knight Wale’s body composition was pretty much fundamentally different from Knight Bruce’s. Knight Wale’s body was already converted into an energy form. All the cells were already transformed by the terrifying divine force. However, this was not helpful to explain why Knight Wale was not fighting as competently as when he was alive and on the central continent. However, through the inspection that Abel was doing this time, he seemed to have understood what was powerful about the legendary class holders. For wizards, for example, the soul and flesh would always remain at a regular level as long as they were storing up energy. When they were promoted into law-defying wizards, the soul would evolve to the point that it could contain the power of the Rule. As the law-defying wizards continued to rank up, the soul would become more energized, and the power of the Rule that it could contain would also become more powerful. Once the legendary rank was hit, the energy would change the bodies of the legendary wizard such that the flesh was no longer a weakness. Once transformed into an energy form, the body would also gain the ability to fly. While Abel didn’t learn the reasons why Knight Wale was growing weaker, he seemed to become aware of a safe path to become a legendary figure. He’s read some of it from his heritage items, but all that knowledge was nothing in comparison to him observing a legendary figure that was moving right in front of him. “What could it be?” Abel couldn’t discuss this with anyone else, so he could only find the answer for himself. Very quickly, he came up with a way to come across that, and that was by using his power of the Will to fully gain control over Knight Wale’s soul. He could feel everything that Knight Wale was feeling. He’s often done this with the Beamon giant beast Doff. With this method, he could always replace Doff to take care of those barbarian worshippers. Abel connected his power of the Will to Knight Wale. Knight Wale didn’t feel any necessity to resist, so it fully switched on its soul and brought out the right to gain control. This was something impossible for any legendary figures to do, but Knight Wale was Abel’s creation. Abel had total control over its soul, such that it was literally “Abel’s wish was its command.” Not even that. What Abel wanted was literally what it was driven to do. Abel noticed something when he was gaining control over Knight Wale’s spirit. He was feeling like the entire environment was a chain that was crushing him over. He could really start to sense the among of terrifying energy that was within the legendary sacred knight. Because of this energy, he was feeling ever more in pain than before. He was really starting to understand why the legendary knight Wale could have such an average performance. It had to do with how things worked inside the dark world. The more powerful one was, the more that suppression would take place. “What a shame!” Abel thought to himself. He always wished that his fighting capability as a legendary sacred knight would always reinforce his fighting capability inside the dark world. If things turned out to be like this, he might as well resurrect Wizard Luce’s “resurrection” spell. Compared to the sacred knights, it was already enough that there was one in the team. Knight Bruce had already gained all the sacred knight techniques there were. Instead of having another unit that could do the exact same thing, Abel was definitely more leaning towards adding another law-defying wizard in. He knew that the sacred knights’ melee ability would require something else in order to defend against spells. Still, he wasn’t going to just let Knight Wale do nothing, now that he’s already resurrected it. With that in mind, Abel changed a piece of armor for Knight Wale and placed a “resolve” armor onto it. The attacking power of the armor was immediately enhanced. He shook his hand when he saw the “spirit sword” in Wale’s hand. He didn’t expect the spiritual qi light ring in Wale’s hands to do much, given how sufficient Knight Bruce’s was already. What Abel needed was for Knight Wale to possess enough attack power. As long as he was always paying attention to Knight Wale’s target, he just had to be careful that the enemy didn’t kill him instantly with some sort of counterattack. With that in mind, Abel spent 27 pieces of the 25# ful rune to make one piece of the 28# lo rune. He wanted to create a powerful rune of “remorse.” Remorse 5 hole sword 5# eth + 3# tir +28# lo +23# mal + 8# ral 35% chance of unleashing a level 15 poison fang when target is hit 40% increase attack speed Damage +400 Ignore target defense +5-30 fire damage -25% enemy poison resistance 20% for a double damage hit Prevent monster to self-heal +2 mana for every monster killed +15 life for every monster killed This was a very terrifying piece of weapon. Although Abel already spent too many runes for it, this was about the best sword that he could’ve created given the number of runes that he had now. This, combined with Knight Wale’s own attacking capability, would turn out to be something that no one was willing to deal with. In the following ten days, Abel brought his combat team to join Knight Wale in his new equipment. The speed at which the hell creatures were exterminated had been greatly elevated. He was very satisfied with this. Although it was still much slower in contrast to when there was a law-defying wizard included, the hell creatures could still be killed quickly enough that the team would remain flexible. As for reviving the law-defying wizards, they would wait for a few months for the bone card to repair itself. They would resurrect Wizard Luce so he could be inside the team. It was still the morning of the second day when Abel turned from the dark world back into his golden castle. He didn’t go to have his breakfast right away. He spoke to the circle spirit, “Switch on all the circles within the master’s building!” The circle spirit switched on the circles after the master’s building, “Yes, Master!” The hidden circle, defensive circle, seclusion circle were all switched on. They were separated completely from the master’s building. Abel was not confident with that at all. After doing multiple scans with his power of the Will, he was only starting to feel a bit better after knowing the effects of these circles. If he was going to let anyone else know what he was going to do next, there was going to be a lot of trouble. Abel ordered Knight Wale inside his portal beast ring, “Conceal your presence, Wale.” Following that, he took out Knight Wale inside his training room. When Knight Wale was let out, Abel was shocked to see that the legendary sacred knight’s feet were not on the ground. They were just 20 centimeters above the ground and floating in midair. Abel was sure that Knight Wale was getting a lot weaker, “I knew it had to do with the dark world!” Knight Wale was just standing in the air. It was almost like something real was beneath. The legendary presence was enough to demonstrate how terrifying its ability was even as it was withdrawing all its presence. It could even be said that Knight Wale was a completely different sacred knight to when he was back on the central continent. If he was revealing his legendary presence here, then none of the circles here would be enough to hide his presence. Only divine power could do it at that point. This was why legendary figures were always so careful when they were fighting on the frontline. Unless they were flying, they’d often had to cover their entire bodies up as they were traveling on the ground. Of course, most would be too proud to do that. Right now, Knight Wale was just standing perfectly still on the ground. He was fine to conceal his own presence completely. Abel didn’t go ahead to get Knight Wale back immediately. He was stretching his power of the Will so that it was going all over towards Knight Wale’s soul. He wanted Knight Wale to be able to unleash the same presence that he was feeling so uncomfortable with as when he was back inside the Rogue’s Encampment. While strength such as Knight Wale’s would be suppressed over inside the Rogue’s Encampment, the central continent was a place that he’d be perfectly able to do that. Abel was not going to let go of any chance to better learn about his legendary class holder. Once again, he received the right to control Knight Wale’s soul. He was very quickly sensing the difference in the environment. Here on the central continent, there seemed to be a strange floating force that was in the air that was making it very easy for him to stay afloat. He could easily feel the terrifying energy that his body was containing. He could feel like he could break through the walls within one punch. The reason why legendary figures were called that was quite simple. They were blessed by the world itself, and they were crafted by fate to become legends. Abel was just like that. Every time he took a breath, he could feel the energy flowing from outside into him. He wasn’t a sacred knight himself, of course, so that would definitely reduce the result of his experience. Still, he could still feel the origins of the power that Knight Wale was sensing. The power was coming right beside Knight Wale, and it was really born out of an indescribable sense of fanaticism that was growing out of his own soul. That was only when Abel noticed that Knight Wale thought of him as a divine spirit. It would make sense in a way, as sacred knights would only exert their full potential when they had a being that they could devote themselves to. Still, Abel thought that it was strange that a piece of him was worshipping him. He let out a few breaths to let go of those unpleasant feelings. He was trying to shake off the feeling of discomfort as the legendary bodies were turning to the bodies of the law-defying wizards. Abel was starting to realize something. If he could get the corpse of a legendary wizard to come back to life, he would’ve lost the sensation required for himself to reach the legendary wizard rank. He wasn’t sure about that, of course, and he wasn’t going to give too much thought into that. After placing Knight Wale back into his portal beast ring, Abel decided that he wouldn’t want Knight Wale to stay too long on the central continent. It was just too dangerous to do that. He’s already got “remorse” and “resolve” rune inside Knight Wale, and he wasn’t really going to use those unless they were for back-ups inside a fight. It would go like this: if he was to face a danger that he couldn’t possibly resist, he would just keep a legendary sacred knight with dark world equipment so that he wouldn’t have to face this. Druid Gunter was just walking out of the alchemy room. Normally, all these important cleaning works were all meant that Abel’s followers could do that on his own. He was just walking out of the alchemy room, and he could see that Druid Poly was just holding a potion with a very sunny smile on her face. He got really confused when he noticed that it was a bottle of the golden quality “natural breathing.” He went forward and asked, “Where did that come from, Druid Poly?” It should be a reward from Grandmaster Bennett. Perhaps it had to do with how busy these big druids were working in the last two days. Druid Poly smiled and replied, “Didn’t you know? All the monthly tributes from now on will be golden quality!” “What?” Druid Gunter became very sad because of it. He had already received his monthly share by now. Still, he was very glad about how he was going to receive a staple supply of the golden quality potions in the future. He became more certain that he must increase the speed of the training. Now that he was using the training materials of the big druids, he should be stuck at rank 21. He was already much slower than Grandmaster Bennett.

Chapter 1154 - Welcome Chapter 1154: Welcome The weather had been great a few days later. The sunlight was out, and the Bay Law Palace was looking as grand as ever. All the important festivals and activities were out, and the flags that would only be hung on important occasions were hung everywhere. Unlike most days, all the elves that lived inside Bay Law City had proud looks on their faces. They knew about how Master Bennett became Grandmaster Bennett. He was reaching the highest level the potion masters for the past several thousand years. That was the level of the legendary. It could even be said that within the entire line heritage of the potions masters, only Abel’s rune was found to be the rune of a grandmaster. There was no other information for the reference of anyone in the same rank. Of course, for the promotion ceremony taking place today, there would always be a large number of Wizard Union members. Technically, the location was chosen to be the elven royal palace, but it was really the Wizard Union that was organizing everything. Large numbers of red-cloaked wizards were all over the royal palace. Their job was to keep the order in place. In the sky that was above the royal palace, a total of ten sky ships had crest flags hung over them. On the one hand, it was to demonstrate the power of the elves. On the other hand, it was to intimidate anyone who might have ulterior motives. This was a good chance for the elves to demonstrate their strength, too. The elves had too often been keeping to themselves and not to the outside world. There weren’t really other non-elves in most elven cities. Now that there was really a chance to prove themselves, the elves made sure to show their power by sending twenty big druids in public, ten of which were from the Goddess Temple. Wizard Hume of the resource department asked, “Um, Druid Joseph, when do you think Grandmaster Bennett’s going to be here?” This was the day that he was representing the Wizard Union to host this promotion ceremony. The time was about nine. There were going to be some important guests coming over, although Grandmaster Bennett was not showing up as the host. Druid Joseph wasn’t that confident, either, “About that Wizard Hume, Grandmaster Benentt’s inside the alchemy room since morning. He should’ve known about today.” Wizard Hume shook his head, “I think you should contact him now.” It should be a given that Grandmaster Bennett would know that his own promotion ceremony was taking place. Grandmaster Bennett should’ve treated that as something very important, so no one would really expect him to do anything today. Druid Joseph responded as he headed to the contact circle, “Yes! Wait here, Wizard Hume.” Right now, Abel was still inside the alchemy lab to harvest his fruits of becoming a grandmaster alchemist. He was brewing multiple dozen shares of potions at the same time. He was bringing all the finished ones inside the crystal bottle to finish his brew. The research spirit’s voice was sent over, “Master, your follower, Druid Joseph, is just waiting for you to attend. He’s waiting inside Bay Law Royal Palace right now,a dn the guests are just coming over!” Abel really forgot, “Today’s the day of the ceremony?” He had too much fun inside the dark world and the central continent recently. Inside the dark world, with the addition of Knight Wale, his fighting methods’ becoming a lot more versatile, and the speed at which he was sweeping the hell creatures was also getting a lot faster. On the central continent, now that he became a grandmaster alchemist, he’s just going to take his time learning how to master a new brewing technique. Because of that, he’s pretty much forgotten about anything else. If it wasn’t for the remainder of the research spirit, he might’ve just forgotten that the promotion ceremony was even taking place. Abel looked at the costume he was wearing. This was an elven robe. The quality was fine, but if he was wearing this to attend the promotion ceremony, most people wouldn’t think that he was paying any due respect to the guests. It wouldn’t look for him, so he went out of his alchemy lab and used short-distance teleportation to the changing room. As soon as he was there, he saw a brand new set of an elven suit in front of him. Butler Meyer must have prepared this for him, Abel thought. He might’ve forgotten about the ceremony completely, but Butler Meyer was preparing the last few days just so the tailors could complete this one costume. Abel smiled as he realized just how well Butler Meyer was taking care of him. Even if there were a large number of guests coming every day, the golden castle would still continue to run the same as always. Abel went ahead and placed his elven suit into his divine portal bag. Then, with the instant changing effect of his portal item, he changed his elven robe into the elven suit. After that, his figure appeared on top of the large-sized teleportation circle that was inside the underground basement. In a flash of the white light, he left the golden castle. Wizard Hume got a lot more relaxed when he saw Abel showing up, “You’re finally here, Grandmaster Bennett!” As a matter of fact, if Abel wasn’t coming over, things would’ve been a lot more difficult. Four sky ships escorting one golden skyship were just approaching them. The dwarven king was just coming over to them, and if Abel was still not here, that would not look good for anyone. From the flags that were hung, it could be told that it was the skyship of the dwarven Royal Palace. The dwarves were doing their bit to show their respect to Bay Law City. In return, the four skyships that Bay Law City had also gone up. They were doing their bit to welcome each other. As a custom of the central continent, the dwarven king was not supposed to arrive at the destination with the teleportation circle. Instead, he would go to the nearest city to change to a chariot, such that he was arriving in a method that everyone could see and welcome. Given how strong the dwarves were now, obviously, they would have the skyships doing the arrival part nowadays. Abel took it as a gesture to show him respect. As the golden sky ship slowly lowered itself, Abel, Wizard Hume, Queen Luisa, and a few big Druids went over. The one that was coming out of the golden skyship was Gunther, the dwarven king. He had a crown on his head and a few dwarven law-defying wizards walking behind him. Abel smiled and bowed, “Majesty Gunther! Welcome!” Gunther greeted with a bow, “Great Grandmaster Bennett, it is of my utmost honour to attend this ceremony!” The title was “great” for Abel. Abel was literally the most important person on the central continent now. As the dwarves had always had a great relationship with him, the dwarven king was attending in person today to reinforce this bond between them. According to the records of the dwarves, grandmaster alchemists would have the ability to fix super-sized war machines for the dwarves, which were crucial to their kind’s survival. The war machine was actually a last resort for the dwarves to fight against the Nation of God. Not just that, grandmaster alchemists could also provide a lot of technical support to the dwarves, especially when it was about ancient technologies. Among the ancient techniques of the dwarves, the biggest problem had always been that only the very finest specialists could be in charge of many of the crucial technologies. So far, the dwarves had been making a very significant amount of progress in learning the ancient technologies. That was really just when they were developing the mechanism of defensive technologies and not so much for the war machines. Even for a war machine like the skyship, the most that it could do was to transport whoever’s inside. It did not possess a lot of attacking capabilities. Even to this stage, the most that could be equipped was just catapults and catapults. King Gunther and Queen Luisa just had their formal greetings. As a matter of fact, the dwarven king had a higher status than Queen Luisa. While Queen Luisa was below the Sainte, the dwarven king was the highest figure in the dwarven world. Right now, the wizards of the Wizard Union and the druids of the elves were just bringing King Gunther and a few dwarven law-defying wizards inside the hallroom. Abel couldn’t be with the dwarven king since he was still busy treating the other important guests. There were not a lot of these really “important” guests, but they’ve already made reservations to the Wizard Union before their arrival. As arranged with the Wizard Union, they were supposed to have quite some time with Abel before he was leaving to see someone else. As soon as it was the dwarven king’s turn, which was marked by his arrival into the hallroom, one heavy sky sparrow and one hundred sphinxes came in as well. It was clear that this belonged to the orcs of the Crazy Heart Valley. The only ones that came to welcome them were Abel and Wizard Union. Needless to say, the elves were not going to get close to these orcs. On the central continent, the elves had always been antagonizing each other. The elven druids were in charge of natural energy, while the orc priests were known to harness the power of the dead, which was thought to be the opposing force to the power of mother earth. Although the Wizard Union had always been in the middle to keep a war between the elves and the orcs from happening, it should not need to be said that the two would never see eye to eye. If Abel hadn’t become a grandmaster alchemist this time, the orcs would’ve never been inside the royal city of the elves. When the sky sparrow landed on the plaza of the royal palace, the elves were far enough as they threw a very disdainful look towards the orcs that were coming down. They were doing this, especially towards the archpriests. The sphinxes didn’t really make a landing and were just staying afloat. Even they knew that this place didn’t welcome them. As for Abel, he had his own sky sparrow in the sky right now. He also didn’t have a real hate for the orcs. He was a druid, but he also knew how to channel the death qi of the orc priest. In his view, neither the orcs nor the druids were supposed to represent evil. The two were just representatives of two ends of a spectrum. He knew this since he did merge natural energy and death qi before. During most of the time, this strange mixture would appear neutral, possessing neither the mildness of the natural energy nor the violence of the death qi. Anyways, the first to get down the sky sparrow was a black-robed crowned lion-man. Behind him were several archpriests. Wizard Hume reminded, “This is Beast Emperor Gallatin, Grandmaster Bennett!” Abel did remember hearing that name. This was the strongest orc among the two orc empires on the central continent. While, it should just be one orc empire, as the other one was pretty much composed over ordinary herbivore orcs. While Abel never really interacted much with the Crazy Heart Valley before, he did have a few contacts with the archpriest. It could be said that the beast emperor was giving him the utmost respect by coming over here today. Abel smiled and bowed, “Welcome, Great Beast Emperor!” Emperor Gallatin was much louder than the other races, “You sound like a very honest man to me, Great Grandmaster Bennett! I don’t have a lot of elven friends, but I don’t mind knowing you!” Abel brought Emperor Gallatin inside the royal palace. There were a lot of guests coming inside the hallroom. All of them were coming on their own through the teleportation circle. They didn’t need Abel to come on his own. As a matter of fact, Abel didn’t have to greet the beast emperor and the dwarven king on his own. He was just doing it because he didn’t want to cause any drama that might’ve troubled the Wizard Union. Abel turned to Wizard Hume after he got Emperor Gallatin in, “You need me to see someone else in?” To be honest, Abel preferred spending more time brewing potions in his alchemy lab. Wizard Hume smiled, “You don’t have to see them all on your own, Grandmaster Bennett. Most of them are just here through the teleportation circle. The legendary wizards mentioned that they would be coming at the last moment. They didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere by coming too early. By the way, you still need to welcome Lady Sainte on time.” Abel was starting to understand why Wizard Hume was smiling. Everyone knew what his relationship with the Sainte was like. A bit later, the few legendary wizards came to attend the promotion ceremony. Abel was starting to understand that the legendary wizards didn’t want to take up all the attention. They wanted Abel to be the main focus of today.

Chapter 1155 - : Ceremony Chapter 1155: Ceremony The five flying chariots came from afar. The ones pulling these chariots were the pegasi, which were special flying mounts owned by the elves. Four of the chariots were escorting one flying chariot that was in the center. On the side, White Show was also accompanying them (looking a lot stronger than last time, actually). Lady Sainte was here. Instead of going forward, Wizard Hume and the elves of the Royal Palace made sure to give space to Abel. Then, under Druid Lucia’s instructions, the flying chariot went down and stopped right in front of him. Druid Lucia jumped and left pretty quickly, “I’ll be in now, Grandmaster Bennett.” Abel shook his head and smiled. As he went forth to open the chariot door, he could see Lorraine was blushing in her full attire. Abel whispered, “Everyone’s waiting for the new woman of the house, you know.” Lorraine changed the topic, “You’ve become a lot stronger now, Bennett.” Lorraine didn’t think that much changed after Abel became a grandmaster alchemist, but that was until the Wizard Union insisted that Abel should go to the promotion ceremony. To learn about what’s so special about grandmaster alchemists, she even went as far as to look up records from the temple. She was surprised when she learned that the rank of the grandmaster alchemist was actually a missing link between modern technology and ancient technology. Basically, the grandmaster alchemists were what’s so important about the ancient civilizations. A lot of the stuff from ancient times could not be replicated just because there were no grandmaster alchemists nowadays. This was what’s so important about grandmaster alchemists. Not only could they create grandmaster potions that could change the entire ecosystem, but they could also craft war machines that would change the way of how wars were fought. Of course, Abel wasn’t so proficient yet to be capable of accomplishing those things, but his appearance was something of a very powerful symbol for the central continent. He became the hope for the central continent to revive the technologies of ancient times, which was especially important since the Nation of God had always been a terrifying threat. Before going to join the ceremony, Lorraine told Abel everything she knew about grandmaster alchemists. After that, they just walked with each other and had their conversation. No one was interrupting them. Abel eventually understood why the Wizard Union, the dwarves, the orcs, and even the legendary wizards were placing so much importance on him. However, he also thought about what Wizard Dolan said. It was very important for him to pick when he wanted to use his skills because, quite literally, no one could pressure or push him to do anything now. Abel and Lorraine walked in as soon as Druid Dolan announced, “Great Grandmaster Bennett and her Majesty, Lady Saint of the Honourable elven goddess temple have arrived!” The elven horns blew on two sides of the hallroom. The atmosphere was becoming extremely solemn. While Abel was entering, he could see that the guests were almost taking up all the space. The guests were a lot more than the number a few days ago at the golden castle. It probably had to do with the restrictions he set on the golden castle. In the golden castle, only those who were above advanced rank were allowed to win. Here, it was actually the emperors of the human empires that had to stay out. Royalties were not especially taken as important figures by the class holders. This was especially true for law-defying wizards, big druids, and archpriests. Abel and Lorraine smiled as they walked towards the innermost part of the palace. Wizard Hume was already waiting for them. “Everyone!” Wizard Hume announced very loudly, “I’m here to represent the Wizard Union to host today’s promotion ceremony. All the guests will now be able to see the grand book that will go into one of the most important collections of history. This is the first promotion scroll of the first grandmaster alchemist on the continent. It is supposed to represent how far the alchemy level of the continent has reached!” Some of them already noticed that Wizard Hume mentioned grandmaster alchemist and not grandmaster potion master. They got quite confused as they thought that Wizard Hume got it wrong. The dwarves were not them. They knew that this was what Grandmaster Bennett’s actual title was. The title of grandmaster alchemist was supposed to represent both grandmaster potion master and grandmaster forger at the same time, and Abel happened to be both of these. Wizard Hume continued, “Let’s give our best welcome to Grandmaster Benentt!” Lorraine smiled and pushed Abel on the back. Abel was just following Wizard Hume’s instruction to go to his side. In the inner part of the palace, the original throne of the elven queen was now replaced with one that was made entirely of gold. Originally, replacing the throne was never done before, but when the Wizard Union made the request, the elven queen didn’t hesitate to agree. The way she was looking at it, it was the most honorable thing the elven race had done to welcome the very first grandmaster alchemist in history. It was definitely much more important than her reputation as the queen. Abel watched guests and spoke loudly, “My name is Bennett, everyone, and I’d like to address all of you here as my friends. I do see some of you that I don’t know that well, but whether you know me or not, I’m here to thank you for attending my promotion ceremony. “You know, I’ve been trying to get to know my grandmaster ability better lately. I don’t know the full extent of my powers now, but I can guarantee one thing you, people, one thing I can guarantee you is that I’ll be brewing at least golden quality potions from now on. That means that I won’t be making anything below golden quality.” The entire crowd got extremely loud when he finished. There was only one rank difference between the golden quality potions and the blue quality potions, but the two differed drastically. It could be said that the ingredients of the master-level potions were, without exception, all very precious. Abel said that he could always produce much better results with ingredients of the same quality. But, of course, that was going to make everyone a lot louder. Abel continued, “Of course, I’ll have a limit of how many potions I can create every month. There are missions that I have to complete immediately. There is a limit to how many potions I can give, so from here on, their upper limit for the master level potion would be five bottles. I’ll be personally picking the appropriate applications from the mission platform.” What Abel said caused, again, a massive reaction in the hallroom. If he was just brewing five bottles every month, that would be nowhere enough to meet the whole central continent’s demands. Abel wasn’t going to say much more than what he had, however. He’s got no gain brewing the master-level potion. Actually, if it wasn’t for helping out the Potionmaster’s Guild, he didn’t even want to do more missions that they assigned. He’d actually be more content with five bottles because he could then distribute the other missions to the other three potion masters. Not the “natural breathing,” though, since the elves would only let him do that. As for how Abel was going to calm this crowd down, he didn’t really care. He didn’t know most of the people here. The people that were actually close to him weren’t reacting that much, anyway, since they could always contact Abel if they wanted their own bottles. Wizard Hume could see that Abel stopped talking, “Quite, everyone! Let’s now have Grandmaster Bennett sit on his grandmaster’s spot!” The elven horns were blown once again. All the guests were looking towards Abel as he went forth to sit on the golden throne. This was a ceremony, a tradition that was supposed to take place for legendary wizards. From what it looked, the Wizard Union was treating grandmaster alchemists just like the legendary figures. It was even clearer when the visitors all saw the golden throne. Everyone was starting to see just how much importance the Wizard Union was placing on ABel. All of them cheered, “Grandmaster Bennett! Grandmaster Bennett!” Five streaks of white light flashed in the sky. The five legendary wizards appeared in the sky of the hallroom. The five legendary wizards congratulated, “Congratulations, Grandmaster Bennett.” After seeing the legendary wizards floating in the air, some of the guests were actually shocked. Many of them hadn’t seen any legendary wizards before, and they just couldn’t divert their gazes away. Abel stood up and bowed back, “Thank you for coming here, legendary wizards!” Wizard Laking laughed out loudly, “I came for your wine and food, Grandmaster Bennett!” Wizard Dolan continued, “Same! I’ve lost the taste of other food after going to the golden castle.” The other three legendary wizards nodded and smiled. The five legendary wizards did their bit to show their good relationship with Abel. It was extremely surprising for the guests. Wizard Hume laughed and announced, “Everyone, we’ll now have the banquet. Let me make it clear. All the dishes were cooked by the two chefs of the golden castle. The red wine was also taken from the wine keep of the golden castle. Of course, we’ll also be providing legendary level water spirit fruit juice.” Abel was quite surprised until he realized that the red wine and fruit juice must be the ones that were only synthesized. Those must be the ones he left for his followers and Butler Meyer to distribute to his friends. Those four were probably the ones who got these ready. Actually, there were just simply too many guests at this banquet. The two chefs had been securing a regular supply of food while they were busy cooking up the dishes. Once they were done, the freezing element wizards of the Wizard Union would then be cooling them down for preservation. When the dishes were to be served, all it took was some heating up to serve the dishes that were prepared several days in advance. When Wizard Hume made his announcement, the servants went forth to get the dishes over. Like most banquets, this one was supposed to be done with a buffet. As the smell of the dishes was going out to the hallroom, all the guests were very pleased with the amount that was put into this particular occasion. On most days, they would have to pay light stones and wait in line to get access to these dishes. They’d also have to be high-ranking class holders to even qualify to eat. This meant that some of the noblemen here weren’t even supposed to see these dishes in front of them. Abel was quite speechless when he saw how rowdy the whole scene was getting. He didn’t participate in the affairs of the promotion ceremony. If he did participate in arranging for today, he would’ve never allowed the rabbit essence dishes to be included. Right now, he couldn’t bear to imagine how messy it would be later one. Abel tried to keep it to himself with a smile, “Legendary wizards, why don’t we head to the side palace?” The doors of the side palace weren’t closed. Inside, there was a small-sized banquet for only those whom Abel acknowledged. Abel was bringing Lorraine and the five legendary wizards in. Following that, it was Emperor Gallatin and the dwarven king. There wouldn’t be anyone else after that. As soon as Wizard Dolan went in, he immediately grabbed some food he liked and started eating on his own. Abel didn’t know what to think, but if a legendary wizard was acting like this, he wouldn’t find it difficult to imagine what those guests inside the main hall would be like. Wizard Dolan turned to Abel after sipping some red wine, “This isn’t the right wine!” “I can’t have the best stuff with this many guests,” Abel sighed, then took out some beverages that he synthesized twice before, “Here, Wizard Dolan, let me change that for you.”

Chapter 1156 - Chaos Chapter 1156 : Chaos Abel was just having a good conversation with his important guests. Of course, it would just be him and the five legendary wizards. The dwarven king and the beast emperor would only join occasionally to show that they were there. As for the main hallroom, a war was about to start over the dishes, red wine, and the water spirit fruit juice passed over. The guests all rushed over to get their own share. The wizards had it the easiest. While they couldn’t cast spells, the “telekinesis” could be used for them to reach for things from over the distance. They would just be standing outside the crowd to grab whatever food they were after. Things were still normal the first few minutes the banquet started. As ridiculously good as the food and drinks here were, the guests did keep their manners as this was Grandmaster Bennett’s promotion ceremony. That was until one advanced wizard from the lightning clan took a bite of the one particular dish and sipped on the water spirit fruit juice. A promotion qi rose out of him, and he was immediately taken to somewhere else by his colleagues to meditate inside a mana gathering circle. While he left the scene quite quickly, the noblemen and the class holders were very quick to lose their cool. They started pushing against each other to fight for the dishes, all so that maybe they could experience the same things as what they just witnessed. The non-class holders had it the toughest. While the class holders couldn’t use spells inside the elven royal palace with five legendary wizards nearby, their physiques still made it extremely easy for them to push the regular people to the side. The regular guests had no way of getting close to the tables, while the class holders would just dig in as soon as they got the food on their own plate. The ones on the front would do everything to keep themselves there because if they were pushed backward, they would’ve had no way of coming back in. Attitude? Respect? Mannerism? What was more important than promoting? To get a chance to eat at the golden castle, one would have to wait for at least several months. There was also a limit to how much one could eat inside the golden castle, and no red wine nor water spirit fruit juice would be provided. Today was somewhat of a special day for anyone who was here, in this sense, especially the class holders. The class holders seemed to have forgotten that today was an important day for the elves. The middle-low-tier druids were just staring at the chaos that was taking place in front of them. The class holders wore lavish attires did not unleash their explosive attack spells, but they all had their defensive spells on just so they could be a little bit closer to the food. They would also use their bodies to push towards the table. Once these class holders gave in their best, the dishes, the red wine, and the juice became very easily consumed. The wizards standing afar were just noticing that it was not so easy to grab the food with their telekinesis. The class holders in front were just interrupting them from activating. Since all these class holders had to do was to block the direction where the telekinesis was going, the wizards were also forced to join in the crowd. In their minds, too, they also had to do whatever it took to get their mouths on the foods and drinks. They’ve all heard about the legends of the golden castle restaurant. Very quickly, another advanced archpriest received a promotion. He was dragged away from the table so a death qi gathering circle could be placed around him. The empty spot was quickly taken over. Someone kicked someone and was punched back. The hallroom completely lost order. Nobody was casting any spells, but they all started brawling with each other. It was a good thing that the barbarians weren’t here. Otherwise, no one would be able to stand against their charging hits. Abel was already frowning inside the side palace. He knew that something was wrong when he sensed the two promotion qi. Wizard Dolan laughed, “Don’t worry about them, ha! Just let the red-cloaked enforcers deal with them.” Honestly, Wizard Dolan didn’t care that much as long as no one was using any attack spells. This happening was just embarrassing. No major rules were violated, so he and the other legendary wizards were just going to let it slip. A red-cloaked wizard quickly shouted in the hallroom, “This is Grandmaster Bennett’s promotion banquet. Anyone who’s fighting here will be immediately tossed out!” The red-cloaked wizard that appeared suddenly made the class holders come back to their senses very quickly. They knew that they shouldn’t try to piss off anyone with a red cloak, so they quickly went back to grabbing their food in a more modest way. Of course, they’d still try to push each other, trip each other, and do little things to allow them to be closer to the food. Originally, there should be enough food for everyone, but the class holders were just taking too much already. They never really stopped. After having the food for a few more minutes, the crowd became chaotic again after a promotion qi rose out of a dwarven advanced wizard. The same thing happened to three other class holders, and while the red-cloaked wizard was still there to watch, the class holders were starting to get a lot more physical again. These class holders were all prestigious in their own way, so in a situation like this, it was really every man for himself. This was especially the case when they saw that there weren’t any more dishes on the table. An advanced orc priest who was blocked from the table for almost an hour couldn’t contain himself, so he used the bone staff in his hand and struck the groin of the advanced druid in front of him. The advanced druid shouted, and out of reflex, he summoned a dire wolf that immediately attacked the one who attacked its master. The druid was usually a lot more reserved than this, but a sudden attack would make anyone lose their sense of control. The advanced orc priest was frightened to see three dire wolves coming right towards him, so he quickly summoned some skeletons in front of them. Things were really starting to lose control now. There were some who were afraid of getting hurt. Some were already aware that this situation couldn’t be calmed, so they all did their things to protect themselves. In the hallroom, lightning, freezing elements, and fire were shot everywhere. All kinds of summoned creatures were called out. The red-cloaked wizard was terrified. He didn’t think that a major fight would just happen right in front of him. The fight continued for just ten seconds, however. The class holders didn’t think about stopping, but they were all suppressed by the essence the legendary wizards unleashed. When they stopped, they could see that the beautiful floor tiles were crushed. They could also see the food and drinks all splattered on the floor. It was a complete mess. Ten class holders already couldn’t get up. Some of them were injured by summoned creatures, while others were accidentally hurt by the spells. Luckily, the regular guests were already on the side and did not participate in the fight for the dishes. No regular people dared to join in, as fighting with these class holders would pretty much just kill them instantly. Wizard Dolan was floating inside the hallroom with a troubled look on his face, “This event is over. Those of you who haven’t sent your gifts, leave the stuff here and get out immediately!” This was definitely not looking good for the Wizard Union. The promotion ceremony was meant for none other than Grandmaster Bennett, but things really went out of control even in the presence of a red-cloaked wizard. This was about as infuriating as it could get. Worse yet, many of the guests were too influential and important to be punished. There wasn’t a lot that could be done, so what Wizard Dolan could do was to just hurry up and end this banquet. Under Wizard Dolan’s suppression, still, a promotion qi just rose out of one advanced wizard. It was unclear whether Wizard Dolan helped him indirectly or it had to do with the food that was served. Again, the class holders threw their greedy gazes towards the floor. They didn’t care if the food and drinks were on the ground. They would do anything to move to the next rank. Wizard Dolan didn’t want to speak anymore, “Get out!” The class holders then promptly left. When they left, they decided that, collectively, the first thing that they should do would be to head over to the golden castle. They would stay no matter how long the line was. Wizard Dolan headed back to the side palace, “These are some excellent dishes you’ve got here, Grandmaster Bennett. I didn’t think that the banquet would be like this!” Abel did not have a happy look on his face, “I didn’t arrange this, Wizard Dolan. It was all the Wizard Union.” Abel did not agree to use his dishes to serve these guests. He’s had similar experiences on the Holy Continent. He knew that his food and drinks had a very special effect, so he was always very careful to keep the number of people accessing his restaurant to a limit. Wizard Hume went in and bowed apologetically, “So sorry, Grandmaster Bennett. It’s my fault.” Abel didn’t mind that much, actually, “It’s alright, really. Actually, Wizard Hume, you just came in on time. Let’s just have our meal now.” Wizard Dolan smiled towards Wizard Hume, who was not sure how to reply, “It’s fine, Hume. Let’s just sit for the time being.” Wizard Hume bowed to everyone and sat at the seat that was on the very end. Most people didn’t really care about what was happening in the main hallroom. In a bit, they all started to laugh and chat amongst themselves. Wizard Dolan was the one who chased the guests away, but that was all on the wizards and not the elves. When the guests left, the elves got one packet of the “skin lotion” and the “conditioner” combined to each and every one of them. They were just beauty products, but since it was Grandmaster Bennett who made them, their price would definitely be a lot more than they actually were worth. Some of the guests didn’t know what these potions were for, so some people explained it to them. Of course, the explanations would always be off the point when one hadn’t ever tried it on themselves. Only the elves could do justice in describing the effects of these beauty products since the noblewoman and the female druids had always been using skin lotions and hair conditioners in their everyday lives. By the way, if these two potions weren’t the ones that cost the least compared to all the other potions Grandmaster Bennett could craft, the elves would’ve never sent out these potions as gifts. The ceremony on this day was recorded in the history books. Two main points were noted: one was the birth of the first grandmaster alchemist on the central continent, while the other was the first-ever brawl that took place at a promotion ceremony. Because of the chaos that took place, four class holders received promotions, 15 class holders were severely injured, and close to a hundred were lightly injured.

Chapter 1157 - Instigate Chapter 1157: Instigate Just like that, after the promotion ceremony ended like a joke, Abel was going back to his everyday life. If there was anything that changed, it’d be that the number of class holders making reservations at the golden castle restaurant reached an all-time high. The latest reservation was put in after more than 6 months. All kinds of people tried to make different maneuvers to push themselves to the front of the waitlist. Some of them used connections. Some tried to come in as spectators to learn about the foods that were served. Some just went to spectate the legendary light. There were all kinds of people who were trying this. On the central continent, there were more smaller groups than there were for middle to large groups. Still, Abel was just watching as the light stones inside the warehouse increased bit by bit. Much of the work inside the golden castle was for Butler Meyer and his three followers to take care of. He was just standing on top of the “starlight defensive circle.” He was just using his worship pathway to select a suitable follower to assassinate the preach of the Nation of God. Since he was already pretty experienced at doing this, it didn’t take him much time to find a knight that had a pretty good fighting ability. Abel went ahead and extended his power of the Will onto the knight. Although it was not the same as when he was synchronizing with his contract creature, he could still do a fairly good job at sensing what his follower was experiencing. With that, he used a divine message to command the follower to leave his resilience and ride onto another warhorse to go towards another city. Now that the Nation of God had taken control of the teleportation circle, most regular people couldn’t get access to the teleportation circle without going through a very strict application process. It was becoming harder than ever for the follower to kill multiple class holders at once because 5 to 6 would make him exposed immediately to the detection of the sacred knight. Abel had to pick only the followers that were living in the most commutable cities so they could travel across different towns in a short period of time. Right now, the knight was just riding horses. His mind and body were both completely taken control of by Abel’s crystal angelic statue. His heart was full of devotion towards the divine spirit, such that he would push himself to the edge of his life to finish any mission that was assigned to him. Abel was just having his rest right now. He was quite bored, so he would use his worship pathway to enjoy the scenery of the Nation of God through the vision of his followers. While he was enjoying the view that was looking very different from that of the central continent, he realized that the sky he was looking at seemed to have changed a bit. The knight he was possessing seemed to have noticed as well showed. He raised his head and Abel that the guardian wings, although it hadn’t been moving the entire time it was there, were now flapping its wings. For anyone living inside the Nation of God, this was about as strange as seeing the sun rising out west. The shock was actually too great. It was destabilizing the knight Abel was possessing and the worship pathway. Abel thought to himself, “Something went off with the Nation of God!” They moved lasted for 30 seconds. Like before, the wings were just going back to normal. Abel didn’t know if something similar happened before, but he realized that the changes were affecting his crystal angelic statue completely. In his sense, he noticed that apart from followers that were looked after directly by his preachers, a third of his followers were lost in a matter of thirty seconds. This had a lot to do with how “impure” the faith of these followers was. Most of them weren’t devoting their worship to the demon from beyond nor the guardian wings for various reasons. For the demon of beyond, its inactivity had already made most of them pay little to no attention to it. For the guardian wings, since it was a being that was so ingrained into the everyday lives of those who lived inside the Nation of God, care for it was already in the state of being too much that it was numb. When a lot of the followers were worshipping, they would often have no image to visualize. They would most often pray while visualizing the demon from beyond inside their heads. Originally, the worship power that was generated from this method of prayer would also belong to the guardian wings and the demon from beyond. This was under the premise that the crystal angelic statue was not there so that it was taking some of the worship power away. Anyways, the guardian wings just started moving today. Although it was just for thirty seconds, that was already enough to change the beliefs of many worshipers. Technically, praying to the guardian wings wasn’t so different from praying towards the demon from beyond, but the number of followers Abel had lost control of was already up to a third of his total number. Since he still had his mission to complete, he could only bear the loss and continue possessing his followers. The change happening was influencing much more than what Abel knew. On the frontline, while Wizard Larking and Wizard Luke were exchanging some of their thoughts on training, they suddenly stood up and teleported themselves out of the room. Wizard Larking said with a serious look, “It’s about to wake up, isn’t it?” Wizard Luke also looked very serious, “The wings were probably causing some sort of indirect effect. There should still be a while before it wakes up.” They didn’t say the name of the demon from beyond. This was to pay their respect to the great being that was their worst enemy. Wizard Larking shook his head, “Let’s just report this and see what the higher-ups have to say.” They were legendary wizards, but this was really out of their control. Wizard Luke sighed, “The peace we’ve had for several thousand years now is about to end—very quickly from the look of things.” Wizard Larking sighed as well, “Yeah, just when we’re hoping that our strength would increase over the several decades.” Wizard Luke thought about Grandmaster Bennett, “Well, at least we have Grandmaster Bennett. His presence is already doing all of us a great favour.” “Maybe it’s time to increase the reward. Grandmaster Bennett doesn’t seem to be interested in 10000 low-tier lightstones for every mission.” It had been some days since Grandmaster Bennett had his promotion. Still, Abel did not accept any of the missions that were assigned specially for him. The wizards didn’t bother to push him, because they didn’t want to cause any drama. Things would be very difficult if they got on Grandmaster Bennett’s wrong side, especially when he was the only producer of many types of potions. Wizard Larking smiled and spoke, “Should we just increase the number of light stones, then? Now that we’ve got this many inside the warehouse, let’s just give whatever amount Grandmaster Bennett wants. If 10000 is not enough, make it double. I don’t think people would object to that as long as the potions are there.” The Wizard Union did have the biggest collection of light stones on the central continent. For just Wizard Luke and Wizard Larking, since they’ve been on the frontline for so long, they’ve stored hundreds of thousands of low-tier lightstones over the past few centuries. Combined with the ones the other wizards collected, it could even be said that the Wizard Union contained several million in total. None of them went to the continent, as the wizards would use them purely for their own promotions. Due to the quality of the light stones, the progress of many wizards had been fruitless when they tried to use them for their own training. So, instead of using it for themselves, they decided to use the light stones as a reward for when they were handing out gifts. That’s why the number went up so much inside the warehouse. Wizard Luke didn’t know what to say, “Let’s just report the change of the guardian wings. I’ll be back to change the reward.” The knight Abel possessed was captured by the sacred knights after the fourth successful assassination mission. At the very last moment, he ordered the knight to commit suicide to hide away all the tracks. As immoral as this seemed, the knight was not Abel’s, to begin with. Also, apart from towns that Abel’s preachers were directly in charge of, it could even be said that all the followers inside the Nation of God were not real followers. There was no hypocrisy in removing the followers, as most followers weren’t even that faithful, to begin with. If anything, Abel cared a lot more than he was earning four new heritage books with the cost of one. He was also worried about the change that was taking place at the guardian wings, just like the many others. He was worried that maybe the demon from beyond would wake up soon. Given his current strength, if the demon from beyond was to take up, he would’ve had no ways of fighting back if it decided to go after him. He could go hide inside the dark world, but he couldn’t stay there forever. The only one he was looking at, he should just increase his power. At night, he had been extra tenacious in his fight with the hell creatures of the Fire River. Because of this, the progress he was making in ten days was actually the equivalent of the results of twenty days. By this point, the demon from beyond was already hanging on top of his head. He had no other way except to boost his own power with all that he’s got. On the second morning on the central continent, he would head back to have his breakfast inside his dining room. When he was about to brew his potions, he heard the sound of the research spirit. The research spirit reported, “Wizard Hume is waiting for you inside the guest meeting room, Master.” Abel didn’t seem to know what Wizard Hume was doing, so he just passed through the short-distance teleportation circle and went over there. As soon as he went, he could see that Wizard Hume was busy taking steps back and forth. He seemed to be quite worried. Wizard Hume bowed, “So sorry to bother you in the morning, Grandmaster Bennett.” Abel could see that something was up, “Anything in particular today, Wizard Hume?” Wizard Hume bowed, “I’ve got a very urgent order I need to make, Grandmaster. Can I just get some light recovery potions and mana potions?” Abel was confused, “Why are you in such a rush for these? What happened?” Before, Abel’s been supplying all these potions every month. These were actually the potions he produced the most. Wizard Hume was very open, “I’ll be honest with you. Something abnormal happened to the guardian wings of the Nation of Evil. The Wizard Union has been trying to clear off the resource points on the frontline, but as you know, since Wizard Dolan was poisoned, we’ve got all the potions stored used up very quickly. We’ve been low lately. We don’t have enough to keep fighting on the frontline, let alone in a full-scale war!” Wizard Hume would’ve never been this open if it was in front of other people. Still, Abel’s current status was the honorary elder of the Wizard Union. There was no point keeping an operation this big from him. As a matter of fact, Wizard Hume was gathering up law-defying wizards since yesterday to join the frontline. Still, a lot of the class holders did not know about the specifics as of yet. All this time, the Wizard Union had known about how far the Nation of God’s intelligence network ran on the central continent. If the Nation of God was to learn about the operation this time, things could get very troubling. Abel pretended that he didn’t know, “What! What? What? The guardian wings? You mean that of the Nation of Evil?” Very quickly, Abel calculated the number of potions he had on hand and made a decision.

Chapter 1158 - Assembling Chapter 1158: Assembling Abel asked Wizard Hume, “I have 2000 bottles of power potion and 2000 bottles of mana potion. Do you think this is enough?” Wizard Hume was very pleased, “Thank you so much, Grandmaster Bennett! This is more than enough.” After receiving a mission yesterday to supply resources to a major war that was fought on the frontline, Wizard Hume was starting to get a bit troubled. Before, it was very easy to prepare the amount even if Grandmaster Bennett wasn’t here to make extra, but after Wizard Dolan used up all the super healing potions, there was not enough inside the warehouse to supply even ten people. No one was using the regular healing potions at this point. If Grandmaster Bennett weren’t here to make more super-level potions, no one would feel confident enough to go on the battlefield. Abel’s decision was made him a lot more relaxed. 2000 bottles of the power potion and 2000 bottles of the mana potion. The number was enough for a major war. Wizard Hume had a full smile, “I’ll make sure to pay you quickly enough, Grandmaster Bennett!” Abel laughed and refused, “The Wizard Union fights for the continent, Wizard Hume. There’s no way I’m receiving payment for this.” It wasn’t like Abel was trying to be humble. Rather, he was really desperate to do everything in his power to delay the demon from beyond from making any move. Wizard Hume stood up and bowed, “I’ll make sure to let all the class holders that are participating. That’s the last I can do.” On the Howling Castle, which was located on the frontline, there were more law-defying wizards gathered up than the Wizard Union expected. It all had to do with the rewards that the Wizard Union provided. They’ve been providing a series of rewards as soon as they sent out the command. Of course, in this particular mission, the kill counter could be directly transferred into the rewards that were offered. Those included legendary items that could aid with promotion, treasures that could be used to boost wizards, and potions that could recover broken limbs. Among them, the ones that could let the class holders go mad would be the four recipes that could prolong one’s life expectancy. These recipes were what captured the attention of the law-defying wizards the most, and yes, they were the same bunch as the ones Abel got out of a vegetative state. Although they all had just 60 years added to their life, their fighting experiences marked each and every one of them to be veterans on the battlefield. For the rewards that were provided this time, they were willing to give it their absolute best. Life-prolonging potions of the same rank could only be consumed once, but four types of potions could, together, at least one law-defying wizard’s lifespan by 200 years. If there was a total of 200 years, these law-defying wizards would always have the motivation to fight harder. Now that they knew that Abel could help them get treated, they now knew that they could just go to Abel again if they had the recipes and ingredients for the other life-prolonging potions. Wizard Hume looked towards these law-defying wizards, “Quiet, everyone!” There were just too many law-defying wizards today. Some of the advanced wizards and the other class holders had to stay out so it was just these ones inside the hallroom. Wizard Hume was keeping everyone silent to listen to him. Wizard Hume got loud, “Today, the Wizard Union has called everyone of you here for the greatest warfare that’s fought on the frontline since the last several thousand years. Our target is the resource point of the Nation of Evil! Take as many resources as you can!” The other law-defying wizards had guessed so as soon as they arrived. Still, they were quite surprised to hear that this was the biggest war that was fought in several thousand years. Some of them got excited because of this. Others were not so keen. The bigger the scale was, the bigger the danger was, and the more reactive the Nation of God was going to get. Missions and wars were two different things. While law-defying wizards would rarely suffer any casualties during a mission, death was very commonplace in a war. Wizards were always known to prioritize their lives before anything else, which was why the thought of going to war made so many of them wanted to leave. Wizard Hume continued, “Everyone! Do you know why the Wizard Union has gotten out so many rewards this time? It’s simple! This war is too important! If you don’t want in, you can leave now!” No law-defying wizards here would just leave. They weren’t stupid. Leaving would mean that the Wizard Union would block their access to resources permanently. Wizard Hume continued, “Everyone, for this particular operation, Grandmaster Bennett has provided, for free, 2000 bottles of the power potion and 2000 bottles of the mana potions to ensure your safety out there. I do hope that you don’t ruin his good will.” As they heard that Grandmaster Bennett provided so many potions this time, all the law-defying wizards became very excited. They understood one thing clearly. As long as they didn’t die, no matter how badly they were injured, Grandmaster Bennett’s potions would always keep them healing and eventually bring them to full health. They didn’t say anything in return because, sometimes, gratitude wasn’t supposed to be expressed with words. Wizard Charlie was a rank 24 wizard from the lightning clan. He was one of the law-defying wizards that Abel rescued from a vegetated state. The 100 bottles of the power potion inside his portal bag was a very significant indication of how good the relationship between the lightning clan and Grandmaster Bennett was. This was just a fraction of how much Grandmaster Bennett was handing out to the lightning clan, by the way. All the dozens of the lightning clan wizards that came here had the same amount in their own portal bags, which was why they felt so confident to search for the other four life-prolonging potions. So, there were about 15 resource points that they had to fight over at the Nation of God’s resource points. They all had quite a distance from the Nation of God. On average, 20 to 30 law-defying wizards would be deployed to attack each resource point with some backup reinforcements. In total, nearly 400 law-defying wizards were asked to be in this particular operation. In addition, the barbarian warriors that were called from the Battlesong Plateau and the archpriests from the Crazy Heart Valley also were composed to form the unit required for this operation. Of course, given how the lightning clan wizards were so powerful themselves, they were specially told to work on their own. With that, 16 lightning clan wizards brought 200 advanced wizards, one barbarian warrior, and ten archpriests to head towards one resource point. As they went towards their target, WIzard Charlie brought the team and marched forward as carefully as they could. There wasn’t anything that could mark their traces. Once they were 5 miles away from the resource point, they stopped for an assembly. Wiard Charlie commanded, “I want the archpriests to bring out their summon creatures. After that, the barbarian warrior will add buff to everyone.” The ten archpriests called out their skeletons, metallic stone monsters, claystone monsters, and all kinds of other summon creatures. As for the barbarian warrior, he used a “scream,” “combat system” and “command command” to add stats to all the class holders and summon creatures. Wizard Charlie took out a magic item that served as a timer to wait for the right time to come. This time, it was arranged that 15 targets would be attacked at the same time. This was a number that even Wizard Charlie hadn’t seen in all his very long life. There were 400 something law-defying wizards and near 5000 advanced wizards, ten-something barbarian warriors, and 100 something archpriests. They had to be as scary as they could be. By the way, among the 400 law-defying wizards, about half were ones that Grandmaster Bennett recovered from a vegetated state. If Grandmaster Bennett wasn’t helping this time, even if the Wizard Union was to initiate forced conscription, they still wouldn’t be able to get all this number here all at once. As for the central continent, right now it was just rank 21 law-defying wizards that were staying on post. They had absolutely no right to appear on the frontline. Wizard Charlie revealed the plan this time, “The time has come. I want the advanced wizards and archpriests to stay. The same for the barbarian warriors. The 15 law-defying wizards and I will be the first to break the defence, and once that’s done, everyone else comes in following our lead.” As a matter of fact, Wizard Charlie didn’t think that much was going to happen in this operation. They just had too many on their own side and given from his understanding of the Nation of God, they were not going to send more than five mad knights to one resource point. They might also have an addition of 1000 sacred knights including some mid-lower tier ones, but a sneak attack like what they were about to do should suffice. According to Wizard Charlie, the 16 law-defying wizards might just be enough to wipe out the entire place. They just had to be fast so that the Nation of God couldn’t send in any reinforcements. It was not like they’ve never attacked resource points before, by the way. While the targets were very limited, the Wizard Union did have an unspoken agreement with the Nation of God to take the resources as much as possible from each other. This was really so that the powerful ones could strengthen their powers faster. Originally, this was going to keep happening, but what happened to the guardian wings was making the Wizard Union want to give up on training their soldiers. What the Wizard Union wanted to do now, instead, was to limit the number of units of the battlefront so they could drain out as much energy out of the guardian wings as possible. The mission was only started with the right amount of strategic instructions. Wizard Charlie nodded towards his 15 lightning clan comrades, who were all previous in vegetated states. Yes, they were all here for the life-prolonging ingredients. It was the reason that they joined to be hitting the exact same resource point. They were doing it so that when they were distributed the rewards, they would get to keep more to themselves instead of having to share with a large group. WIzard Charlie called out, “Action!” Amidst the 16 white lights, the 16 law-defying wizards arrived at the front of the resource point in just ten-something seconds. 32 streaks of the “lightning chains” hit the defensive circle. All the sacred knights were shaken awake, “Enemy incoming!” The reaction of the mad knights was extremely quick. Even though the 16 law-defying wizards had been acting very quickly, all it took was two “lightning chains” for a counterattack to take place. It wouldn’t take that much time for the law-defying wizards to activate two “lightning chains” in a row, and according to Wizard Charlie’s estimation, all it would take were 6 “lightning chains” to break through the defensive circles completely. Given that there were 16 law-defying wizards activating the lightning chain six times each, that would be a total of 200 something times. Yes, all of them were activating the spells with both of their hands. As soon as they activated up to 2 lightning chains, a freezing ripple appeared amidst the fort and rushed towards the 16 law-defying wizards. This was the effect of the mad knight using the “sacred freezing.” Still, because of how rushed it was and how it was cast by two mad knights that were just on patrol, the attack power was nowhere close to matching the same level as when a thousand sacred knights were forming the battle formation.

Chapter 1159 - : Combat Chapter 1159: Combat From what these two mad knights understood, the 16 law-defying wizards should’ve dodged with teleportation as soon as they were shot with the freezing ripple. That was how wizards should fight… with cowardly and cunning methods. Wizard Charlie had a resolute look on his face. He did not send any commands, and nor did the 15 law-defying wizards with him doing anything. All of them were fending off the attacks with their “Freezing armors” and “energy barriers.” No, they did not stop casting the “lightning chains.” Wizard Charlie knew very clearly himself. Although they had an overwhelming advantage over the mad knights that were within the fort, as long as these mad knights were prepared to get more of them to make a battle formation, it would be much more difficult to break through the fort’s defensive circle. Because of this, Wizard Charlie chose to not dodge. He chose a very rare form of responding, which was to just try to hold against the sacred freezing. Of course, he wouldn’t be doing this without the “power potion” on him. Due to the many resources on the frontline, the standards for constructing the forts just became a whole lot higher. This was especially the case for the defensive circles, as they were made with rare materials that would make them surpass what would normally be used on the continents. In most cases, the only way to break through the defense of the fort was to attack nonstop until there was no barrier in place. This time, however, what the wizards were launching was a surprise attack on a massive scale. They got enough numbers to attack one spot, so they wouldn’t have to worry that they’d be so slow that the Nation of God would be able to call reinforcement. Wizard Charlie didn’t care. As long as there he wouldn’t die, the defense of the fort would just be broken through. The impact of the “sacred freezing” was rushing towards the 16 law-defying wizards. The defensive spells on them were all starting to get dimmer, and they were all starting to move slower as the ice frosts started getting harder on their bodies. The 16 law-defying wizards didn’t care, though. Their casting speed was not affected. They could still cast spells. They would cast spells with both of their hands to launch a third wave of the lightning chain. Soon, a fourth wave was activated. The mad knight screamed, “Formation! These wizards are insane! There are sixteen of them just here! They are trying to have a full-scale war with us!” The trained knights were already gathering up to form a battle formation. The one that just shouted wasn’t looking so good. The appearance of 16 wizards was making him very uncomfortable. He had never seen so many of them all in one location, and this location they were at was a pretty important resource point. They did have six mad knights inside to defend, but that was just not going to match sixteen law-defying wizards. Also, it was never seen before that a law-defying wizard would just go defend against sacred freezing. It could be said that the shock wave of the sacred freezing was once every second. As long as the attack could be initiated non-stop, being affected was always guaranteed. Although the attack damage of the “sacred freezing” wasn’t so high, it did possess the slowing effect and the freezing element damage. It wouldn’t feel good to get hit by it, that was sure. Meanwhile, the 16 law-defying wizards were already launching their fifth wave of the lightning chain. They just received two sacred freezing hits. Each and everyone one of them was injured to some degree. Half of them had frost on their bodies. Their faces paled as their body temperature dropped significantly, but they gritted their teeth to continue casting the “lightning chain.” Wizard Charlie said, “Last hit!” At the same time, a streak of “sacred freezing” that was much stronger than the previous wave was hit. The sixth lightning chain was also activated. As soon as the lightning chain was unleashed, the shockwave of the sacred wave was also hitting the 16 law-defying wizards. Ten of them had their defensive spells destroyed immediately. Their bodies were sent flying by the hit. The mad knight couldn’t believe it, “Are they fine with dying?” He never remembered seeing law-defying wizards like these. It was almost like they were risking their lives just to break through the defensive circle faster. If there weren’t 16 of them, actually, the mad knight might just come out to fight them on his own. Something even more shocking happened. Whether it was the severely injured wizards or the ones that were just slightly injured, they all came back to full health after they drank a potion. They were just coming back to hit the circles like nothing ever happened. The mad knight screamed, “Get out and fight!” Soon, the defensive circle would be destroyed. There wouldn’t be much of a use for the fort then. Also, given how little space there was inside the fort, that was definitely going to affect how the formation of the sacred knight was going to turn out. Of course, he wasn’t going to believe that the law-defying wizards would just fight inside the fort. The fort was too narrow, so the chance of them injuring themselves was actually very high. Before the gate of the fort was opened, the sixteen law-defying wizards teleported inside the battle fort and activated their lightning chains. Wizard Charlie was just inside the battle fort. He didn’t care if there were any sacred knights nearby. There were several dozen middle-high tiers sacred knights near him, but as soon as he went in, he was already reactivating the defensive to defend against any melee attacks. What he needed to do was to intercept the mad knights from activating their spiritual qi light rings. Otherwise, they would’ve had to keep themselves going with the potions. It was not difficult at all to focus on the six mad knights that were among the thousands of sacred knights. The sixteen law-defying wizards were locked onto them almost immediately. 32 streaks of the lightning chain drowned them to death without much time at all. Of course, the sixteen law-defying wizards were receiving counterattacks at the same time. These attacks included “sacred freezing” and some attacks from the sacred knights that were nearby. Five of the law-defying wizards had weak defenses, so they were quickly injured by the attacks of the advanced sacred knights. Two wizards were actually fainted by the shield attacks, but the freezing armor did respond quickly enough to prevent the advanced knights from advancing. While the freezing armors did not receive a buff from the “command freezing,” the counter-hits of the command ice bolts could still help the law-defying wizards face the advanced sacred knights. Again, the injured law-defying wizards would recover their wounds by consuming the power potion. They would then continue to launch their lightning attacks. It really showed how scary the lightning wizards could be. The six mad knights “rescued” the spirit lightning ring to protect themselves, but the light ring could only reduce some of the lightning attack power and not the side effects. Very quickly, they lost the ability to continue fighting after having their entire bodies zapped. At the same time, 200 advanced wizards were bringing ten orc priests, along with the summon creatures of these orc priests, to teleport inside the battle fort. A very messy fight was what took place next. The law-defying wizards were attacking a bunch of sacred knights every single time. Even under the protection of the “rescue” spirit qi light ring, the advanced knights would not be able to last after two or three hits. It was even worse for the middle-low tier knights, as they would just die immediately. The sacred knights started going into a frenzy They continued to charge to attempt killing the wizards. They were not targeting the law-defying wizards, because law-defying wizards were too strong for them. Due to the difference in their levels, these knights didn’t even dare to get close to the law-defying wizards. They had no way to resist the presence of law-defying wizards without assistance from the battle formation. Wizard Charlie brought five of his law-defying wizards to hold against the attacks of six mad knights. The mad knights were just too powerful. They were still holding on even when they lost the ability to retaliate. However, death was very imminent for them. They could only make a last stand in a very futile manner. The archpriests continued to cast an “aging” curse, which greatly reduced the charging speed of the sacred knights. The summon creatures of the orc priests would split up and act as meat shields in front of the advanced wizards to defend against attacks of the knights. Still, there were a lot of sacred knights so, again, the wizards had very limited spots to dodge. As many of them were accidentally hit by the attacks as they tried to cast the “instantaneous movement,” the sacred knights would get their way and slay them down. Streaks of soul lights would rise up the fort. Each one would represent the death of a figure of at least advanced ranking. Wizard Charlie stopped casting any lightning chain after five minutes. He drank another bottle of the mana potions. He had drunk twenty bottles by now. Without doing this, he would’ve not been able to keep up on unleashing the potions. He was starting at the fort. Six mad knights had fallen. There were only ten-something sacred knights remaining inside the fort, and they were all trying to resist as hard as they could. “My honor is my life!” Among the remaining ten sacred knights, the one that was leading had several wounds on him. His left arm was already gone, and it was just his right hand that was holding onto the long sword as he was screaming. The sacred knights behind him were forming a smaller circle. The wizards that were several times more powerful than them were already re-activating “charge.” “No!” Wizard Charlie shook his hand and activated the “lightning chain” in his hand. Following that, two streaks of lightning chains jumped around the sacred knights and killed them. The advanced knights dropped on the ground as sou lights flashed out of them. During this time, on one side of the fort, a white light was flashing across the teleportation circle. An advanced knight was just teleporting over here. The first thing he saw when he came here was the piles of corpses on the ground and the streaks of soul light that were rising up. He didn’t leave again through the teleportation circle because he knew that the time needed for him to activate it was more than enough for the wizards to kill him. Actually, he was just a scout. As long as he was not sending any messages back to the Nation of God, there just wouldn’t be any more reinforcements. In a sense, his mission was already completed. “My honour is my life!” he screamed, then charged towards the wizards nearby. Amidst the countless spells that were unleashed, his charge became a soul light before he was even halfway done. Wizard Charlie felt something complicated as he watched these mad knights. All it took was five minutes for the fight to end today. The enemy reinforcement never came because they just had too many on their sides. More importantly, they were changing the method that they were fighting. They were going from the original guerilla tactic to a more stationary, on-post strategy. Basically, as the law-defying wizards continued to launch highly concentrated hits in one specific location, they were able to bring down the entire enemy squad just by remaining in one spot. Of course, this could only be accomplished with the potions that the wizards were bringing with them. Wizard Charlie ordered loudly, “Reset the teleportation circle! Connect to the teleportation circle of the Howling Castle! Let them know how far we’re progressing!” An advanced wizard came over as he did some operation on the teleportation circle. Charlie looked towards an advanced wizard from the lightning clan, “How are the losses on our side?” Things were quite chaotic inside the battle fort. As there were just so many soul lights flying out everywhere, it was very difficult to tell which ones belonged to advanced wizards or which ones belonged to the advanced sacred knights. The advanced wizards spoke, “We lost 23 advanced wizards, Master! There are 57 that were injured!” Wizard Charlie spoke, “Treat the ones that were injured!” As a matter of fact, as long as they were wizards of the lightning clan, all the wizards that were participating in the mission would get their own power potions distributed by the lightning clan. This was not including the power potions of the Wizard Union. Those would only get to the law-defying wizards, although the advanced wizards didn’t really suffer that much because of it. Only one advanced wizard died instantly because he didn’t even get to use the power potion. Still, for an assault like this, the benefits really outweighed the losses for these wizards.

Chapter 1160 - Set Up Chapter 1160: Set Up Wizard Hume reconnected to the teleportation circle, and he immediately sensed a vicious battle as soon as he arrived at the resource point. However, he soon let out a breath of relief. There were 6 white soul beams, which meant 6 elite rank professionals had died, and they were all holy knights. The Lightning clan was doing fine. The operation was quick. There was no way the wizard union could make a move on 15 resource points at once if Abel had not revived so many law-defying wizards. As for elite wizards, the wizard union could move a lot of them at once since they did not need to retreat for a long time like law-defying wizards. “Wizard Charlie, the Lightning clan really are the quickest!” Wizard Hume smiled and said. “Wizard Hume, how are the other 14 resource points? Wizard Charlie asked. “Yeah, they are still battling!” Wizard Hume nodded. His gaze turned to the castle. He saw the wizards taking their rewards from the dead bodies, and a few elite wizards began to set up a new protection circle. “Wizard Charlie, I will organise some men here to take over and calculate your accomplishments. If you are willing, you can exchange credit resource points with the light stones!” Wizard Hume continued to smile. “I’m sorry Wizard Hume, but we already decided to give those Light gems to Grandmaster Abel. If he didn’t give us the potions, we wouldn’t have been able to do this!” Wizard Charlie explained. “Haha, I think Grandmaster Bennett will love your gift!” Wizard Hume would do the same. He knew very well about the trades of the WIzard Union. Wizard Hume connected them to the Howling Castle, and a team of elite wizards arrived through the teleportation circle to take over. “Wizard Hume, since our mission is finished, do you want us to support the other teams?” Wizard Charlie wouldn’t miss a chance to get easy resources like this. Although they had the least amount of law-defying wizards, he was still worried if the longevity potion the Wizard Union would give out was enough for all 16 law-defying wizards in their team to distribute. If they helped the others, they might be able to get more. Of course, this was also because they still had some mana potions and power potions to ensure their safety. “Wizard Charlie, you still have to guard this area for some time. The wizard union made sure that each team had more than enough power to take down the knights. If you want more rewards, just wait for the next mission!” Wizard Hume was still smiling. Wizard Charlie nodded helplessly. It made sense since too many law defying wizards were sent out. The Lightning clan was the fastest, but they were not the most powerful. “Wizard Charlie. I’ll leave you here now. I still have 2 more resource points to check!” Wizard Hume bowed and left. After another hour, all 15 battles were finished. The Holy Kingdom immediately sent out support, but with so many powerful wizards attacking 15 resource points at once, their teleportation circle was broken before those holy knights even arrived. The Holy Kingdom was completely caught off guard. The wizard union had broken their long years of power balance and unleashed an all-out war. The Saint of the Holy Kingdom palace’s face sank as he continued to read reports. “What? All 15 resource points are gone?” The saint yelled. He was stunned. The scale was catastrophic. The inventory of the Holy Kingdom had already taken a hit ever since they lost the holy portal bag, and now it was reaching a critical state. “Mr Saint. We sent out support to 12 resource points but they were quickly killed as well. As for the other 3, we were disconnected before we could even react!” A mad knight bowed. Since the Holy Kingdom had been battling in the front line for thousands of years, they had a polished system of making sure they had enough support to distribute around. However, it was because of this, they had underestimated the power of wizards. On top of that, the spying network the Holy Kingdom always prided themselves on also failed to alert them. “The WIzard Union is planning for a full take over in the front line and their target is…” the saint’s face suddenly turned pale. He turned to the map of the front line on the war, which they spend countless years of effort to sketch out. He pinpointed the 15 resource points he lost on the map and thought about the strange behavior of the guardian wings earlier. He knew the strange behavior of the Guardian Wings meant his god was about to reawaken. This, at least made up for the decrease in faith and the sudden rise in chaos in the kingdom. However, the wizard union attacked right after guardian wings moved. It was hard to miss the connection between them. “The wizard union no longer wants to lose in the front line?” He thought to himself. “Give up all the small resource resource points immediately and guard up these 10 resource points with all mad knights!” The saint pointed at the map and said and pointed at the map. The Holy Kingdom still had 30 remaining resource points, but the 10 they wanted to guard were all 2 miles from the Holy Kingdom. Although the knights couldn’t understand why the saint decided to make such a big decision and give up 20 resource points at once, they still wouldn’t disobey. “Yes Mr Saint!” The mad knights bowed. Soon, the saint was left alone in the temple, once again looking at the map. Meanwhile, Wizard Charlie received another mission. “Gather. We are about to fight again!” He yelled. Abel’s potion really came in handy. Unless his wizards were killed in one strike, they would be able to recover to top conditions regardless of their injuries. 200 wizards, 10 archpriests, and a group of Barbarians disappeared from the castle in a flash and appeared in front of the Lightning clan. Their target was a little resource point 20 miles from them. Since the Holy Kingdom was already aware of their moves, the following battles might be much more violent. Taking over a little resource point with 2 mad knights was initially an easy task, but it would be a different story if the Holy Kingdom was alerted and sent out their support. Although penetrating the castle moments ago looked simple, there was no way those law-defying wizards could do so if the 200 elite wizards and the 10 priests did not counteract the close body attacks of the knights. Wizards were not the best in defense. Once their shield was broken, even normal holy knights would be able to injure them. Wizard Charlie looked around. He wondered, how many wizards would be able to come out alive in the following battles. 20 miles were nothing for wizards who knew how to move in a flash. Soon, they saw a castle on a mountain appearing in front of them The law-defying wizards exchanged gaze. Taking down the protective shield of a castle of that size would take at least 3 rounds of lightning attack. They didn’t want the elite wizards to sacrifice their lives for no reason. Elite wizards could not withstand the energy of a mad knight, so they would in fact be a drag to the law-defying wizards. “Let’s do this the old way!” Wizard Charlie lowered his voice. The priest summoned their summons once again as the Barbarians enchanted the abilities of the team with their roar. Wizard Charlie and the other 15 law-defying wizards flashed again and arrived in front of the castle, but they quickly came to a halt. There was no protection shield. In fact, there wasn’t even any defense. There were zero knights, just an empty castle. “Go in!” WIzard Charlie lowered his voice. He appeared in the courtyard in a flash and saw some leftover goodies. Seemed like the knights had abruptly retreated. “You guys can come in as well!” He said to the elite wizards outside. The wizards and the priest flashed in as well. The priest unleashed their skeletons and let them roam around. Skeletons had a special ability to detect enemies, and there were no holy knights around. “Report to the Howling castle!” Wizard Charlie commanded. They wouldn’t get many rewards in situations like this.

Chapter 1161 - Construct Chapter 1161: Construct Soon, wizard Charlie got a reply from the Howling Castle. All the small resource points were empty. Wizard Charlie and his team then waited for the Howling Castle to send wizards over for a takeover. Afterward, they returned to the Howling Castle with disappointment. All the other teams were looking quite good. it seemed like they all got a decent amount of rewards. As the law-defying wizards gathered in the Hall, Wizard Hume pointed at a map on the wall. “Everyone, I will thank you all for your bravery on behalf of the WIzard Union. We have taken over large amounts of resource points as well as taking down many knights from the Evil Kingdom with minimal sacrifice!” WIzard Hume laughed. Their operation was smooth, but of course, it was only because the rewards the wizard union offered were too attractive. When it came to who deserved the most rewards, it was none other than Grandmaster Bennett. He was the one who resurrected the law-defying wizards. Those resurrected law-defying wizards were all insane in their fighting style. They used the protection spells on their body to directly counteract attacks of knights just to get more spell casting opportunities and make sure they successfully land a strike on a knight. After all, almost all of them had returned on the verge of death with an abundance of fighting experience. With only 60 years to live, they needed the rewards of the wizard union, and they would complete their missions by all means necessary. Wizard Hume couldn’t thank Grandmaster Bennett enough for providing them with power potions, which added another layer of security. “Initially, the Wizard Union was planning to take over the front line step by step. By the Evil Kingdom reacted fast and gathered all their forces in these 10 resource points!” Wizard Hume pointed at the map. “Our next mission is to examine the condition of those resource points. It will not be easy. They know we are looking, so don’t risk your lives. After all, all of you are the most important assets of the union!” Wizard Hume said. He didn’t want to lose any law-defying wizards for resource points. Their all-out fighting style would not work as well when the Holy Kingdom retracted their forces. The law-defying wizards exchanged a gaze. Most of them already decided to attack as soon as they understood what they were dealing with. Just like that, 400 law-defying wizards, thousands of elite wizards, hundreds of archpriests, and tens of mad Barbarians, began to make their way towards the 10 resource points in a flash. Those 10 resource points were scattered around the radius of the Holy Kingdom and each of them was no more than 20 miles apart. Therefore, destroying their teleportation circle wouldn’t make much of a difference. Therefore, it would be very hard to take over once they doubled down on forces. It was also because of the location of those resource points, the wizard union could no longer proceed with their plan of attacking the Guardian Wing from the side. As for now, the Howling Castle remained the only place opened for a direct strike. However, it would be suicide without sufficient defense. Not to mention, those 10 resource points had more than enough knights to gang up on any wizard who tried to attack the Guardian wings. Wizard Charlie was in the front of the team, and he soon saw their target. He immediately knew it would be a rough fight with the energy of more than 30 mad knights. There was also a team of 10,000 holy knights in a formation by aside. “Every law defying wizard on my command, do not attack!” Wizards Hume yelled. Although their team could take down those knights if they went all out, this was only one out of the ten resource points. With a teleportation circle within the castle, those 30 mad knights could easily turn into 300. The Holy Kingdom was prepared, the wizards could no longer take advantage of their lack of information and strike by surprise. Wizard Hume could not afford to lose too many law-defying wizards. Unlike the holy Kingdom, there were many places they needed to guard besides resource points, such as the Defence Wall of Doomsday for example. With so many newly gained resource points, even 400 law-defying wizards might not be enough in the future. He waved his hand, and a magic circle maker began to set up some temple magic circles. First, a giant protection circle. It was crucial for avoiding surprise attacks. Even if the Holy Kingdom decided to send out mad knights, it would be able to buy time for the Wizards to attack. Therefore, each castle in the front line was built on the corpses of countless men. Of course, the giant protection circles used in the front line were also no ordinary protection circles. The material it used was vastly more valuable since it needed to be set up much quicker. That was why you would only see something like that in the front line. Still, setting it up took an hour. During this time, the Law defying wizards kept their eyes out but the castle in front of them did not attack. The Holy Kingdom had no choice. The wizards were just too strong. Their mission was to guard the resource points, not to take down wizards. Therefore, they could only watch as the wizards set up their defense. “Good!” Wizard Hume smiled. If the knights were not going to strike, it was time for them to do so. Once the protection circle was ignited, the wizards let out a breath of relief, but the magic circle makers did not stop. Instead, they moved even faster and set up 3 temporary teleportation circles. However, the wizards were confused. What was the point of having 3 temporary teleportation circles? Time passed, and the 3 temporary teleportation circles began to glow. The first group to step out was the dwarves. They did not say anything as they stepped aside for more dwarves to arrive. Wizard Charlie knew those dwarves were not wizards by their scent. They seemed like normal warriors. He was even more confused. However, when he saw the wizard dwarves and they began to take out huge construction machines, he immediately knew what those warrior dwarves were for. The wizard union was about to build their own castles right in front of those 10 resource points. 3 temporary teleportation circles were not enough for large-scale teleportation, and the dwarves began to set up a large teleportation circle after they jumped on their construction machines. As more and more dwarves arrived, they began to set up an even more powerful and stable protection circle. All of a sudden the 400 law-defying wizards didn’t know what to do as they watched the dwarves take out endless amounts of components from their portal bag. Seems like the Wizard union had it prepared and gathered those components long ago. All the dwarves needed was to set up a base with their machines and lay the components down one by one. 6 hours passed without any battles. Instead, the front line was bustling with the sound of construction machines. In the end, a huge castle appeared on the spot. With a large teleportation circle, 4000 extremely skilled dwarves builders were teleported. This was how they could build a castle filled with magic patterns in just 6 hours. It was made for the front line and each component was made with the best material since the budget was not even a consideration. The wizard union had a rule. The resource of the front line stayed in the front line, this way, they could make sure they had enough to fight the Holy Kingdom. The wizard union had always been researching the construction of castles in secret and the resources investment was scary. The mad knights on the other side were stunned as they saw a castle appear in front of time just like that. They began to regret not disrupting the wizards, but the command they got was still the same. Stay on guard. The team of wizards, priests, and Barbarians did not leave. Instead, Wizard Hume commanded them to stay. No one had any complaints; this battle was unlike any other. As long as the dwarves continued their construction, they would be able to line up with the defense of other castles in the front line. This way, the Holy Kingdom would not stand a chance if they wanted to take back the resources point. The wizard union was in full control of the front line. It was an amazing accomplishment, even though they did not achieve their ultimate goal.

Chapter 1162 - Disappointment Chapter 1162: Disappointment Throughout the battle, Abel had been keeping a close eye on the latest news through his headmaster badge of honor. He felt very good about it ever since the start. The wizard union had victories with minimal losses. However, as the battle continued, he became disappointed. The 10 resource points around the Holy Kingdom remained intact. Although the Holy Kingdom had already taken a big hit, they still could not do anything to the Guardian Wings inside the Holy Kingdom. The only good thing was that the Holy Kingdom had focused most of its forces on defense. Through his followers, he knew the knights inside the kingdom were moving towards the edge of the walls. This left the center of the holy kingdom vulnerable. It was too bad the Wizard union could not penetrate their defense. If they could, it would be an amazing opportunity to strike. Suddenly, an idea struck him. Was there anyone else other than the wizard union who might be able to go through the Guardian Wings? How about his resurrected knights? Mad knight Bruce, or Legendary knight Wale? Abel was a thief. He stole tens of thousands of followers from the Holy Kingdom, with 30,000 of them managed by his own preachers. Although 30,000 was not a lot compared to the overall population of the Holy Kingdom, the Demon from beyond would definitely be furious once he found out. Therefore, he wouldn’t let the battle drag on. He initially was expecting the Wizard union to unleash a blood bath, but it seemed like they were taking a more conservative approach, after all. Or maybe they still wanted to maintain a power balance with each other. If the Wizard Union sent out legendary wizards, they could definitely break the defense of those 10 resources points and let the battle progress. Although the Wizard Union had made tremendous progress in the front line and moved their troops forward. The overall dynamic of the situation remained the same. The Holy Kingdom still maintained their sovereignty. Abel couldn’t understand why the wizard union didn’t go all out. Are they really waiting for the day the demon woke up? In reality, the wizard union still had no idea how many backups the Holy Kingdom was hiding after so many years of development. The Guardian wings would only allow their followers inside the Holy Kingdom, and it was dictated by scent. Therefore the wizard union investigation department was helpless. Abel decided to give his idea a try. If he could really enter the Holy Kingdom, he would be able to get many more preachers. The power of godsend though Izual was almost unstoppable, but it just wasn’t quick enough. He was always captured by Holy knights after going through a few towns. He could no longer slowly chip away the power of the Holy Kingdom like this. The Guardian Wings had made a move. The demon from beyond could reawaken at any moment. Abel was traumatized by the front line ever since he was chased after by a legendary knight. But with his own resurrected legendary knight beside him as well as his transformation necklace, he regained his confidence. Of course, Abel would enter the Holy Kingdom from the front line with a legendary knight. That was even more dangerous than exposing his own energy. If he exposed his own energy, he would be attacked by the Holy Kingdom, but if he exposed his legendary knight’s energy, he would be attacked by the legendary wizards. Abel knew this because the legendary wizards seemed to have the ability to sense legendary knights. Abel flashed towards the Fire Tooth battle fort above his hidden starlight protection circle. “Fire tooth spirit, open the map!” He entered the operation room and called. Afterward, a virtual map emerged. It displayed the location of the golden castle and the terrains around it. “Fire Tooth spirit, locate the Holy Kingdom!” He added. The map began to pan out, and the terrains became a blur. Finally, he saw the Defence Wall of Doomsday and 3 oceans surrounding the Holy Kingdom. “Fire Tooth spirit. Can you display the interior of the Holy Kingdom?” Abel asked. “Master, the Holy Kingdom is tightly guarded by the energy of god. I can not scan it!” The Fire Tooth spirit replied. Abel was not expecting the Holy Kingdom to be this powerful. The Fire Tooth was an ancient flying object. “Fire Tooth spirit, levitate. This is our destination!” Abel pointed at the ocean connecting to the Holy Kingdom and commanded. “Yes master!” The Fire Tooth spirit replied. The Fire Tooth Battle Fort flew in silence with its energy fully hidden. Not a single wizard around realized Abel’s departure. He flew at a normal speed, but it was enough for making his way around the Holy Continent. Finally, I reached the ocean in 2 hours. He gazed at the map again. The front line was already behind him. Since he was still near the shore, there were no sea monsters attacking him yet. It was at that moment, Abel transformed into the human wizard Abel. This way, he wouldn’t expose himself as Master Bennett even if the Wizard Union or the Holy Kingdom spotted him. As he approached the Holy Kingdom through the ocean, he realized there were actually many more sea monsters in the ocean. And much more powerful as well, there was even a huge one with the power to take down a law-defying wizard. Since sea monsters had a huge advantage in the ocean, they could even go neck to neck with a legendary wizard. They were not something Abel could go against, and he sensed the Fire Tooth Battle Fort kept changing direction to avoid their energy. Suddenly, Fire Tooth Battle Fort came to a halt when they reached the ocean border of the Holy Kingdom, and scary energy locked him down. “Who are you? Why are you entering the ocean?” a grand-sounding voice emerged, but it came with a hint of familiarity. Still, Abel was shocked that his Fire Tooth was noticed. “My name is Abel. I was just roaming around and entered the ocean by mistake!” He lowered his once. “Roaming around? This place is forbidden!” Suddenly, the voice paused for a moment and continued, “You have a faint scent of a dragon hidden by a holy object from the goddess of moon. Please let me confirm your identity!” Abel was thinking of escaping with the Fire Tooth, but at the same time, he knew it was not easy. Most importantly, he sensed a strong familiarity with this voice. He unleashed his energy. In his human form, he possessed the scent of a blue dragon. “Little blue dragon, nice flying object!” A shadow suddenly emerged in front of the Fire Tooth Battle Fort. It was a middle-aged man with faint gold-colored skin and hair in golden armor. Abel knew he was not human in one gaze. His eyes… There was only one being with such gaze, a giant dragon: a golden giant dragon. Golden dragons were the masters of lightning. They had the power to attack anyone with lightning. “My prestigious golden dragon!” Abel bowed. “Haha, my name is Kemble. You are quite good at human manners, you are still training right?” Gold dragon Kemble laughed and asked. He told Abel his name, which meant he recognized Abel’s identity. “Yes, the prestigious Kemble, I am training amongst the humans!” Abel nodded. “Blue dragon Abel, you were lucky to find a fully intact battle fort!” Gold Dragon Kemble looked around and laughed. “Yes, I was just a little lucky. Are you guarding this place?” The gold dragon Kemble wanted to have a little chat. Maybe loneliness had got the best of him. In either case, Abel went along to appease him. “Yeah, the wizard union is only responsible for guarding the land. We, dragons, are responsible for the oceans. Each of these sea monsters were gathered by me personally!” Gold Dragon Kemble nodded. Since Abel noticed some legendary sea monsters, Gold Dragon Kemble must be as powerful as a legendary level Dragon who lived for tens of thousands of years. You could tell how powerful it was by the fact that it stopped the Fire Tooth and penetrated it with his voice. Since Gold Dragon Kemble was a master of lightning, there was a big chance that it noticed the Fire Tooth because of the detection energy wave it gave out when it was monitoring the terrain.

Chapter 1163 - Gold Dragon Chapter 1163: Gold Dragon As for the reason why Gold Dragon Kemble could reach his voice into the Fire Tooth Battle Fort, it was because of his natural power to use teleportation. He was a legendary level figure, after all. These things like this were like a walk in a park. It was at that moment, Abel realized the wizard union was not the only one protecting this world from the Holy Kingdom, but the dragons out in the ocean as well. With so many sea monsters around, it was no wonder it was difficult for the Holy Kingdom to leave their territory through the ocean. Also with Gold Dragon Kemble on guard, even a legendary knight might not make it through. “The prestigious Kemble, If this ocean is forbidden, then I’ll be on my way!” Abel knew it was impossible for him to reach the shore of the Holy Kingdom as long as a gold dragon was around. “Haha, that rule does not include dragons. But if you want to leave the ancient fort, make sure you unleash your dragon energy so you won’t get attacked by sea monsters!” Gold dragon Kemble waved his hand with a smile. “Thank you, I will keep in mind!” Abel felt his heart lifted. His lost hope was revived once again when he realized the power of his blue dragon identity. “Blue dragon Abel, you were not born in the Central Continent right?” Gold dragon Kemble asked again. “No, I’m from the Holy Continent!” Abel replied. “Oh is that so, but no matter where you are from. Please let me know if someone is troubling you. Dragons in the Central Continent will definitely help you. Dragons are the most united race. We will destroy anyone who dares to harm our fellows!” Gold dragon Kemble pounded his chest and said. “Of course!” Abel replied, but he was not thinking about asking the dragons for help. There was no need for him to trouble the dragons in his fight for power. Little did he know, even the wizard union needed to listen to the dragons in the Central Continent. The reason why Abel rarely encountered a dragon was that they were all busy fighting for the safety of all continents in the oceans. As soon as the dragons were ordered, they would gather together and form a power far greater than the wizard union on the surface. “Blue dragon Abel, I’ve been guarding this place alone for 460 years. All the professionals who made It through the sea monsters were killed by me. Although some of my colleagues might run into me during their missions, I never really had a chance. I never really had a good chat with another dragon. If you are not in a rush, how about we sit down and have a chat for a while!” Gold Dragon Kemble didn’t want Abel to go just yet, so he gave Abel an offer. “The prestigious Kemble, I almost forgot to treat you. Please have a seat!” Abel could take care of his business later and it wouldn’t make much of a difference anyway. The two took a seat in the hall. Of course, Abel would take out the best stuff for a gold Dragon. “The prestigious Kemble, do you want red wine, rum, or juice?” he smiled. “I’ve been drinking wine all my life. It has been hundreds of years since I drank a glass of juice, so please give me one!” Gold Dragon Kemble replied. Although he didn’t know Abel was known for his wine, his water spirit fruit juice was combined through the Horadric Cube as well. Abel took out 2 crystal glasses, poured the water spirit fruit juice into it, and handed a glass to Gold dragon Kemble with a smile. The nose of a gold dragon was extremely powerful and Gold dragon Kemble immediately knew this juice was no ordinary juice. When he poured the juice down his throat. He sensed a wave of freshness washed over him. “Blue Dragon Abel, this juice is amazing. It’s bad I can’t go all out!” He sighed. Abel knew what he meant but he did not reply. Both of them were drinking in human form, what a dragon meant by going all out was drinking in dragon form. Abel saw how It was done in the Holy Continent, satisfying a dragon that took him ten 100 liters barrels of wine. He wouldn’t be able to make ten 100 liters barrels of water spirit fruit juice even if he squeezed all the water spirit fruits in Blood Moore dry. “The prestigious Kemble. If you want to go all out, how about some rum!” Abel offered. It was a type of grandmaster wine easier to combine. “Blue dragon Abel, I hope your rum is extraordinary as well!” Gold dragon Kemble laughed. Abel then took out a portal jug and placed it on the table. Gold Dragon Kemble picked it up. To his surprise, there were 20 square meters filled to the brine with rum inside. All of a sudden, the alcoholic in him was unleashed. He no longer cared about his image and rum began to drip down from the corners of his mouth, but when he sensed the intense aroma of the wine, he couldn’t help but catch the droplets with his power of the will as well. “I can’t waste such good stuff!” Gold Dragon Kemble had completely let his guard down. After a few heavy gulps, he finally lowered the portal jug again. “Blue dragon Abel, just call me dragon Kemble from now on. There’s no need to be so polite; we are friends!” Gold Dragon Kemble laughed. “Dragon Kemble, it’s my honour!” He smiled. “Oh, here is my scale. If you’re ever in danger, take it out and I will be on my way to help!” Gold Dragon Kemble took out a scale and said. Since he took so much from Abel, he had to return a favor. Since most dragons increase their power with sleep, a young dragon was almost always weaker and insufficient when it calmed to protect himself. Although there were methods to speed up their growth, sleeping was often preferred because it took no effort. The dragons would protect their young by all means necessary, but only in their sovereignty. Since Gold Dragon Kemble gave Abel his scale, Abel would have another layer of defense. “Thank you, Dragon Kemble!” Abel bowed. Although he got a dragon scale from the Holy Continent as well, he was in the Central Continent and could not use it once he left the Holy Continent. “No worries, but there I might ask you for more rum after I finish this!” Gold Dragon Kemble smiled. They became close friends in a short period of time, and Abel’s safety in the Central Continent was secured. He didn’t know how powerful Dragon Kemble was, but it must be far greater than the 5 legendary wizards he knew. None of them mentioned the value of that portal jug. It was just a toy to them after all. Abel was very strange as a blue dragon. He was learning human skills, and Gold dragon Kemble could clearly sense the energy of the goddess of Moon and the Tree of life on him. But still, Abel was a blue dragon nevertheless. The dragons would not discriminate, especially a young dragon who probably just wanted some hobby to kill time. What Gold Dragon Kemble provided Abel was just an extra safety guarantee. Abel still had to grow himself. Gold Dragon Kemble did not stay for long. In a flash, he vanished from the Fire Tooth Battle once again. “Fire Tooth spirit, can’t you detect Dragon Kemble?” Abel asked in the empty hall “Master, the power of Dragon Kemble is beyond my detection range. If master wants to increase the detection range, corresponding components will be needed!” Fire Tooth spirit replied. Abel was speechless, almost all Ancient Battle forts in the Central Continent were under him already, yet he never even saw any levelling components. He gazed down at the dragon scale as happiness filled his heart. He was not a real giant dragon, but there was dragon blue running through him. He shouldn’t be surprised that he was accepted by the dragons. Unlike other species, the dragons had natural bonds with their fellow dragons. Therefore even though Abel did not look like a dragon, he had quickly become close with Gold Dragon Kemble with the dense dragon blood within him. Perhaps treating him like a friend was being too presumptuous since their power was leagues apart, but Gold Dragon Kemble really did treat Abel like his friend. This world was too big. Interaction between giant dragons was a big hassle, especially considering their population. Gold Dragon Kemble was very happy to meet Abel, especially since he realized how easygoing he was. Maybe Abel was used to interacting with legends. After all, he did have a Legendary knight as summon. It was because of this carefree attitude of Abel, they had a great time together, and there was no need for Gold Dragon Kemble to unleash his energy. It was a rare opportunity, but the dragons would definitely have their dragon jaws dropped if they found out Gold Dragon Kemble was interacting with a young dragon like an equal, not to mention his dragon scale. After all, Gold Dragon Kemble had locked up this ocean all by himself, so you could just tell how powerful he was. Just like wizards, dragons with the ability to control lightning were the strongest. If not, there was no way those Legendary sea monsters would dwell around quietly. The dragons had one principle, solve everything with a fight. Gold Dragon Kemble was still in his human form as he flew in the sky with the portal jug in his hand. The idea of transformation back into a dragon didn’t even come across his mind since he would be able to drink up all the rum in one gulp. Then there would be no more to enjoy. He was used to being in human form anyway. What he told Abel was just an excuse. “Hey all of you, I have a young dragon roaming around here. Make sure he doesn’t get bullied by any sea monsters, if not, I will bully all of you!” Gold Dragon Kemble’s threatening voice traveled through the ocean to the most powerful sea monsters. The legendary sea monsters helplessly looked up at the arrogant Gold Dragon Kemble. They couldn’t afford to disobey a gold dragon, so all they could do was to tell their followers to be careful.

Chapter 1164 - Merge Chapter 1164: Merge Abel unleashed his dragon energy. He trusted Gold Dragon Kemble, so he no longer needed to hide. He, too, had a legendary summon, so he should be able to escape those legendary sea monsters even if they decided to make a move on him. After a few more hours of flying, the Fire Tooth Battle Fort finally saw the shoreline of the Holy kingdom. There was no one on guard. That made sense since they had the guardian wings, and there were no resources to protect around the shore like the front line. Abel looked around and finally landed on the edge of the shore. He sensed the Guardian Wing’s protection shield right in front of him. Maybe this place would be fully protected during high tides. Abel had a strange feeling as he walked along the shore. The protection shield in front of him felt oddly friendly. When he examined the origin of that feeling, he realized it was from the Crystal angel statue between his eyes. After he confirmed there was no danger, he slowly reached his hand towards the protection shield. He was extremely careful, and his full recovery potions were ready as soon as he got hurt. According to the WIzard Union, the Guardian Wings’s protection shield would burn anyone who was not the follower of the Demon from Beyond and turn them into Holy energy for the Guardian Wings. However, as Abel’s finger finally made contact with the shield, he did not feel any pain and got attacked. Instead, energy began to rush into his crystal angel statue at an immense rate. It was al, ost like a roaring river. A white light began to flash crazily from the crystal angel statue. Abel felt his heart twitch. He was completely caught off guard. He was expecting a smooth process and only let his holy knight summons out once he was in, but instead, he had no idea what was going on. His first thought was to pull his finger out, but to his surprise, it was glued to the shield. He quickly ignited his world stone. It was just as hopeless; the only thing he gained was realizing the energy rushing in was actually pure faith. His finger was stuck like a bug stuck to a spider web. All the struggle was hopeless. “Damn it!” Abel didn’t want to get stuck here forever. He would be dead once someone noticed him. He roared and ignited the dragon transformation. He was no longer afraid of attracting sea monsters, so he could use his most powerful move. His body began to expand and turned into a 1200 years old giant dragon with the power nearing a legendary. However, his claw remained stuck at the protection shield. Still, the giant dragon energy he unleashed shocked Gold Dragon Kemble from afar. “Blue dragon Abel was hiding his power. He is actually a mature dragon!” He laughed as he took a sip of rum. He sensed that Abel was viciously twitching around like he was fighting some enemies, but since he did not sense the power of another figure, Abel must have just been playing around. “What a big child!” Gold Dragon Kemble shook his head with a smile. As long as Abel was safe, he would let him be. Abel helplessly looked at his left hand and finally returned to his human form. What was actually happening? He reached his power of the will into his crystal angel statue and noticed a big storm within it. But instead of raindrops, it was raining in pure faith. At first, there was still some time until the dark gold energy in the Crystal Angel Statue was fully Dark Gold, but as pure faith kept rushing in, even the floor was starting to turn dark gold. In reality, this rate of progress might take Abel hundreds of years to accumulate, even with his tens of thousands of followers. Abel paused for a moment. He was not getting hurt after all, and it seems like his crystal angel statue wanted to move forward. So, he calmed himself down and let Frankenstein out as a last resort. The Guardian wing’s protection shield was formed by the immense faith generated from the Holy kingdom’s followers. It was a super spell cast by the demon from beyond, and it was formed thousands of years ago. This not only protected the Demon from beyond, but it also protected his followers. The protected followers would then generate faith for the protection shield. It was a self-sufficient cycle, and over time, it no longer needed the Guardian Wings to give out its own energy. Although the Wizard Union had set up the Howling Castle to drain the power of this protection shield, its scale was still far beyond what the Wizard Union could manage by attacking it on one side only. Abel was frightened by the amount of faith rushing into him, but in reality, it was like a speck of dust for the guardian in the grand scheme of things. Since Abel’s left hand was glued, he couldn’t even sit down to have a rest. Just like that, he welled for a day, and his crystal angel statue was fully dark gold. Suddenly, he sensed that his crystal angel statue wanted to merge with his main soul. Abel was stunned; he wouldn’t let something like that happen. He still needed to make his way around the Central Continent. If his soul actually merged with the crystal angel statue, the Wizard Union might think of him as a men of the Holy Kingdom and make a move on him. He just couldn’t afford to let anyone notice Izual’s energy within him. After all, there was nothing safer than being a grandmaster alchemist. But at the same time, he sensed that there was nothing he could do other than chopping his hand off if he wanted to leave. It seemed like the Guardian wings protection shield was forcing his soul to merge. If that was the case, then Abel had no choice. Not with his main soul, but his druid soul. As long as he kept his main soul pure, the druid soul was much easier to hide. He forcefully turned the merging to his druid soul, and strange energy charged into it from the crystal angel statue. All of a sudden, he sensed his druid soul strengthened. Abel could strengthen a soul with his soul potions, but he could never use a soul potion on himself, and it could not be used continuously. That strange energy, on the other hand, was strengthening his druid soul at an impossible rate. In just 10 minutes, his druid soul was even more powerful than his main soul. Luckily his druid soul had no consciousness, so it could not take over by itself. It could only do so when Abel’s main soul had given a signal. Afterward, the crystal angel statue flew out from his forehead and entered his druid soul. It was almost like the sole purpose of his druid soul after strengthening was for the crystal angel statue to enter. Since the invisible energy within the druid soul was created by the combination of death qi and natural energy, it was already very high in the attribute. Therefore, it remained unaffected despite the large amounts of pure white energy that entered along with the Crystal Angel statue. Abel couldn’t help but fixed his attention on his druid soul. In reality, this was actually a necessary step in the growth of the Crystal Angel statue. If it did not take in large amounts of faith from the guardian wings or Abel could not break through in time, he might not even achieve this state in the next ten thousand years. On top of that, if the crystal angel statue merged with his main soul, he would no longer be human; he would be an angel. The crystal angel statue was formed by the soul of Angel Tyrael. In its crystallized state, it had the power to resurrect people. However, Angel Tyrael’s consciousness had faded long ago, and it was now a part of Abel. Still, the power of resurrection remained. It might have sounded like Abel got a great deal by maintaining his human body, but being an angel was actually far superior even compared to a dragon. Angels existed in the form of pure energy, which was the ultimate goal of all professionals to achieve eternal living. Even a legendary could only exist partly as a form of energy. They still had miles to go compared to an angel.

Chapter 1165 - Embryo Chapter 1165: Embryo Abel looked into his Druid soul and saw the crystal angel statue, but faith continued to rush in like it was nourishing something. Soon, he discovered an embryo—a strange-looking embryo. That embryo was formed by pure white energy, and it had a human form with something that looked like wings on its back. Abel immediately knew it was the embryo of an angel. It was growing at an exponential rate as the energy continued to rush in. First, its fingers and toes became more and more defined, followed by its facial features. The capacity of Abel’s druid soul was indescribable; anything that existed in the form of energy could be taken in by it. Therefore the embryo wouldn’t take up much space even when it grew into an infant. The infant opened its eyes. Charisma shined through in a majestic sparkle, but it was clearly unconscious. Abel had a feeling that this infant was the clear manifestation of his druid soul. If the crystal angel statue combined with his main soul, his entire physical body would end up looking like this. He didn’t know how much energy that would take, but it was a scary amount. Even Heaven would only resurrect the most important angels with a pure energy body. Most would be given an altered body. There was a big difference between the two. It was very hard for an altered body to make progress. But still, the benefit was that an altered body could maintain the power of the original body before alteration without training. It was by far the quicker path. A body created from pure energy, on the other hand, had unlimited potential, but it often started extremely weak, and it needed continuous training to breakthrough. Therefore, the supply of energy was crucial, which even heaven did not have enough for all angels. If the Wizard Union did not make a move on the demon from beyond with the gods, it would have grown into an all-mighty force of this world. It would definitely be furious If it realized the faith it accumulated over thousands of years was being used up by Abel. Since the druid soul did not have a body, there was nothing to alter. The only choice it had was to create a new soul. But of course, this would not have happened if Abel had let his druid soul take over his body at the time. But most of all, the Guardian Wings protection shield did have enough energy to supply it. As energy continued to rush in, the infant turned into a child, and the child grew into an adult. Finally, it looked like a 17 to 18 years old young man. The energy of faith then turned its attention to the young man’s wings which were still the size of half a finger. It expanded, and feathers began to emerge. Finally, energy stopped rushing in when his wings were about the same size as Izual. It was at that moment Abel finally pulled his left hand out of the protective shield. He gave it a little wave, but he was soon attracted by his druid soul. It was tempting to examine his changes, but he needed a safe place to do so, and he wouldn’t dare to do it around here. He turned his gaze back to the guardian wings protection shield and carefully reached his hand forward again. This time, he penetrated it without any reaction. He followed through with his arms, head, and finally, his entire body was entered. He was just like a citizen of the Holy Kingdom. He was still on the shore, but he was already inside the Holy Kingdom. Maybe he was the first outsider who stepped into this soil in the past thousands of years. Immediately, he sensed something different. All this time, he only got a sense of the Holy kingdom through the passage of faith from his followers, which was nothing compared to being there physically. The first thing he noticed was the wealth of energy around, not only mana but strange energy that nourished the body as well. No wonder why there were so many knights in the Holy kingdom. Even the most powerful kingdom in the Holy Continent, his Kingdom of St Ellis, had less than 30,000 knights. A knight required a powerful body, and the Holy kingdom had that in the environment. Knight training was common in big cities, so there were more than enough for the Holy kingdom to pick the most powerful ones and turn them into Holy knights. The second thing Abel sensed was a strange smell that seemed to make a person more passionate about certain things. A normal person might not notice it, but Abel could with his world stone ignited. Abel had an idea; maybe it was why the Holy kingdom had so many loyal followers. Even for those who had not been baptized, they would soon be once they were given a little guidance from a preacher. Abel had experienced this first hand. Even with 30,000 followers, all of them were extremely loyal to his preachers. Abel no longer wanted to stay, especially after what he had been through. He looked towards the sky. The guardian wings had never been so clear. He then turned and smoothly walked out. He put Frankenstein away, flashed back to the Fire Tooth Battle, and commanded it to return to the Central Continent. He was burning with curiosity. The first thing he would do after he returned to the Golden castle was to examine his druid soul. He turned into the elf Grandmaster Bennett again when the Fire Tooth Battle Fort landed, and he flashed into his training room through the short distance teleportation circle. He opened all the protection and barrier circles and took out a scroll of the town portal to the Dark World’s Rogue Encampment. All of a sudden, he felt invincible. The power of god kept him safe once again. He turned to his druid soul and saw the 18 years old young angel. Since it did not have consciousness, it remained still like a puppet. Abel took a deep breath and transferred his consciousness to the druid soul. All of a sudden he was swamped by knowledge. It was like his mind was about to explode. It was at this moment Abel realized maybe his druid soul had to be strengthened to incorporate this knowledge as well. Even his main soul might break down if it was directly injected with so much information. Unlike other forms of training, obtaining knowledge to progress was exclusive to the angels. Abel did not look into it too much. It was too complicated for him. Instead, he was much more curious towards that young angel’s body in his soul. It was made entirely of energy, but it looked like an actual being. If Abel did not witness the process of its creation, there was no way he would believe it. Suddenly, he sensed a strong bond with that young angel body. It was a strange feeling, almost like that body was another body of his. Even being used to multitasking, it was still strange for his power of the will to control 2 bodies at once. Still, Abel was not afraid. He was a god in the Rogue Encampment. Everything was under his control. He focused his attention and detached his control from his original body. There was no way he could control 2 bodies at once without training. He might not even be able to balance himself with 4 eyes and 4 legs. When the angel body sensed his attention the Druid Soul moved aside. His original body began to drop after it lost its consciousness. It was at that moment, Abel emerged as a young angel and caught his original falling body with his arms. After he slowly lowered it to the ground, he began to reexamine his young angel body in detail. To his surprise, he sensed his heart pounding and blood running through his veins. It was just like his original human body, even the facial features were identical. The only thing different was the big wings on his back. They were absorbing energy out of thin air to replenish his energy and strengthen his body. At the same time, he felt like Legendary Knight Wale; something was suppressing him from above. If not he might be able to levitate like a legendary. It was a powerful body, but Abel still had good control as a head commander-level knight. A knight’s goal was to have a full cover over their body, and Abel had basically reached the end of his knight journey. He clenched his fist. Bang! He didn’t even attack a target to set off a bang like this, so you could just imagine how powerful he became. He also sensed a strong element resistance in this body. Maybe he would be fine even if large amounts of spells were aimed at him. How powerful could this body be if it was not suppressed by the Dark World? At least the power of a legendary knight. On top of that, it was still a young angel. It would become even more powerful with time.

Chapter 1166 - Body Chapter 1166: Body Abel was very happy with this angel body, but what about his nether region? Were all angels like this? But he was not planning to use this body to pass on his genes anyway. He wanted to be a real man, as a human or elf. It just felt a little strange to have nothing down below. This angel body was full of big surprises. Although it was made entirely out of energy, it felt and looked just like blood and flesh. He couldn’t help but think about Izual, so he reached his power of the will into the Crystal Angel statue. Since it merged with the druid soul, it had become half-transparent. Still, Izual, the legendary knight, and the souls of 9 mad knights remained in the space within it. He focused on Izual since it was an actual angel, but there was a big difference. Izual’s body looked like a cloud of light, not blood and flesh. Maybe it was because his angel body was still at a beginner stage, and it would look like Izual as it leveled up. “Right, clothes!” Abel wondered why he always felt a little strange during this time because he was naked. Although he was inside the Rogue Encampment, where even the high elves were not around, he still couldn’t accept the fact that he was naked. Just when he wanted to reach into a portal object, he realized there was nothing on him. Everything was still on his human body. However, it was at that moment. He sensed a strange dimension from his power of will. There was a space of 100 square meters inside his angel body. He quickly scanned through the angel’s knowledge and found his answer. That space was the carrying space of an angel, and his rank dictated its size. 100 square meters was a normal size, but Abel had not even started training yet. It was at that moment he realized once again how blessed he was. As you know, the size of portal bags for most wizards in the Central Continent was only a few square meters. Even a law-defying wizard might not have one more than 20 square meters. It was such a huge head start, and Abel wouldn’t be able to comprehend if he had not experienced it first hand. Abel was considered a genius by the wizard union and the entire Central Continent. He had a Dark World as support as well as a Holy object Horadric cube. Yet, even after so many years of battles, he was only a rank 22 wizard. An adult angel, on the other hand, was more powerful than him, even without training. He scanned his holy portal bag on his human body and found some comfortable noble hunting clothes, making him feel safe again. Luckily, the angel body was the exact size of his original human body, so everything fit well. Since his wings were the only things that looked like an actual cluster of energy, it went right through when he put on the clothes. His clothes were unaffected by the wings. But it was also because of this. He realized he couldn’t use his wings to fly. Instead, they were used for gathering energy. If the Dark World were not suppressing him, his body could levitate by itself as a cluster of energy anyway. After a few hours of testing, Abel truly sensed how mysterious this angel body was. He then gazed back at his old body. It was his real body, nevertheless. But if he could only control one body at once, he could never unleash their full potential. So, before he started his angel training, he would master controlling 2 bodies at once first. If not, he would be wasting large amounts of time training as an angel while his human form did nothing. If he could control 2 bodies at once, he would be able to do wizard training as well, which was double the rate of progress. Most importantly, he would be able to fight on two fronts when he mastered controlling 2 bodies. Having such coordination was not as simple as one plus one equals two. However, with such a powerful body besides him, he could drastically increase his exploration in the Dark World. He carefully reached a little stand of consciousness towards his human body, and it stood up. He needed to learn how to walk, jump, and run, all over again like an infant. Since he was controlling two bodies for the first time, no experience could help him. He started with daily tasks and slowly made his way up, and he would repeat it every day after he finished his wizard training and battles in the Dark World. He kept his patience. After he mastered doing the same things with two bodies, he spent some more days practicing doing different movements. Half a month went by, and he finally mastered controlling 2 bodies doing different tasks without one being affected. He realized one thing during these days. Although he could not tell when he was training with his godly power in Rogue Encampment, his angel form was just like a normal professional in the Pandemonium Fortress, even when his world stone was not ignited. He had been training in his human form for too long. As a grandmaster alchemist, he had extremely precise control over his body. He thought it might not be the case as an angel, but it was actually just as scary. After all, it would always take a long time for one to adjust to a new body since each joint and muscle moved in a unique way that dictated their speed and motion. The angel body, on the other hand, was extremely smooth to Abel. It was almost like he was training it for countless years. This was also why he had mastered controlling two bodies at once in such a short period of time. Not only that, but those 2 bodies seemed to function on the same instinct, just like having 4 arms and 4 legs Soon, he added some fighting moves to his training and gained the confidence to test out using 2 bodies for an actual battle. To be honest, it was a little early since Abel still had not started any angel training, so his angel body could only fight like a knight. But still, it was just a little test—Abel was not planning to fight too many hell creatures at once. At that moment, his angel body was wearing dark gold armor with the spirit sword and spirit shield on his hand. It was not the best gear he had, but it was just for temporary use anyway. Although he knew how strong the defense of his angel body was, he still summoned Doff the Beamon to enchant his two bodies for safety’s sake. If he made a single mistake, the result might be catastrophic. Of course, he also gave Black Wind to his angel body. This way, he could fully unleash his knight’s potential. He took a turn in the Flaming River and came across a group of 10 typical demons with fire attacks. Although they had weapons on hand, their close-range fighting ability was extremely weak. It was exactly what Abel was looking for. With attribute resistance of the angel body as well as the 30% resistance increase of his gear, it was unlikely that he would get himself hurt. Abel stopped his summons and charged towards the 10 demons with his two bodies just like that. When they noticed Abel approaching, Abel flashed away in his human body. As a wizard, he wanted to keep his distance with a power of the will range of 1500 meters. He cast a blizzard storm, and the demons were slowed down right in front of his angel body. His angel body quickly approached a demon and struck out with his spirit sword. Bang! It was almost like the air particles beside him had exploded. It was such a thrill. It had been a long time since Abel last fought with a sword. However, the result was not as fabulous as it looked. Hell creatures had a naturally strong resistance to physical impacts, and Abel was basically just using brute force with no skills. After all, knight skills required combat qi, and Abel’s angel body didn’t have any. In fact, he could not even move any energy within his angel body without angel training. Still, the brute force of an angel alone was enough to knock back that demon for a few steps. He followed up and struck towards the other demons. But, since they were all slowed down and an angel was especially fast, they were all knocked back before they even got the chance to get close. Since the blizzard spell’s attack range was behind those demons, they had no chance of escaping. They began to drop dead one by one. Abel was feeling good. He finally had the confidence to fight with 2 bodies. Abel did not cast another spell or let his angel body attack when there was only one demon left standing. Instead, he decided to take a fire attack on his angel body. Flames burned on his armor. But, since it had the power to regenerate, the flames did not even make a mark. Abel’s angel body did not feel any pain; in fact, it kind of felt like being under warm water.

Chapter 1167 - Making Chapter 1167: Making Abel returned from the Dark World with a big smile on his face. He had mastered his angel body, so he no longer needed to rush the following training sessions. He fully got a sense of its power from the battle with tell creatures. Even the ones in the Flaming river were no match to his angel body. Abel really wanted to let out his angel body from his druid soul in the Central Continent, but he didn’t want to risk it. His intuition told him the consequence would be serious. He calculated for a moment. It has been a long time since he accepted a mission from the Wizard Union. Although Wizard Dolan said he wouldn’t mind, it was still best to show them a little bit of respect, and he could shock up some more light stones as well, Just as he was taking out his headmaster badge of honor, the research spirit sounded. “Master, the Lightning Clan’s Wizard Charlie wants to see you!” “Wizard Charlie?’ Abel remembered it was one of the wizards he saved. He was a good friend of Wizard Hal, so he could not reject him. To be honest, he had been in retreat for too long. A lot of people wanted to see him but got rejected. Now that he finally mastered controlling 2 bodies, there was a lot more free time on hand. “Let Wizard Charlie in the lounge and serve him the VIP juice!” He commanded. Of course, that juice was none other than the water spirit fruit juice with 2 combinations. By the time Abel arrived in the lounge, Wizard Charlie was already taking a sip. “Wizard Charlie, what brings you here today?” Abel smiled. “I’ve been fighting in the front line with the wizard union using your potion. Although we lost a few law defying wizards and 500 elite wizards, we killed more than 60 mad knights and tens of thousands elite holy knights !” Wizard Charlie said. Abel knew about this result as well, and he, too, was very happy. After a huge conflict broke out on the first day, both sides settled, with minor conflicts continuing for the next 10 days. The professions on the front line began to take turns resting with only 2/3 of the forces on guard to maintain their sanity. The war was not going to end any time soon, but at the same time, you wouldn’t see the wizard union being this generous with their rewards every day. “Grandmaster Bennett. All thanks to you, the Lightning clan has gotten a lot of rewards. The reason I’m here today is to ask for a favour. Please help us make some longevity potions!” Wizard Charlie said in a respectful tone. “Wizard Charlie, there’s no need to be so polite. I am a friend of the Lightning clan. I will help as long as you give me the ingredients!” Abel smiled. He also wanted to resurrect more half-dead wizards, so he would not reject them. “Grandmaster Bennett, please take a look!” Wizard Charlie took out a portal bag and handed it to Abel. This portal bag was very important to him. It signified the future of the Lightning clan. Abel held the bag in his hand and scanned it with his power of the will. There were 4 potion formulas and 16 portions of ingredients for each formula. It seemed like the Lightning clan had gone all out to get so many rewards from the Wizard union. Those longevity potions formulas were some of the most valuable things in the Wizard Union inventory. But they were in a critical situation. The demon from beyond could wake up at any moment, especially since the wizard union had gotten a lot more powerful with 200 half-dead law-defying wizards resurrected. Since Abel’s longevity potions were only effective for 60 years, the wizard union needed those 200 resurrected wizards to live longer. If the demon from beyond reawakened after a hundred years, those wizards might not make it to the final battle. The wizard union didn’t want to give out those longevity potion ingredients for free since they did not have enough, so they organized a take-over mission with those potion ingredients as rewards. This way, they could kill two birds with one stone. At least, the Wizard union didn’t need to worry about how to distribute those portions or wizards getting angry at them if they did not get one. “Wizard Charlie, please wait!” Abel smiled as he stood up with the portal bag. “Please take your time. I will wait for you!” Wizard Charlie bowed. Abel teleported to his alchemy room through his short-distance teleportation circle and took out the 4 formulas. Their main ingredients were all exclusive to the wizard union. It was no wonder why no one ever heard about them outside of the Wizard Union. They were all high-level potions, so only high-level potions makers could make them. If they didn’t give them out as rewards, even Abel might never know about them. After all, asking any potion maker for a favor needed 4 extra portions of ingredients in exchange for a single successful potion. Of course, the Wizard Union did not have enough, so it was best to leave it to the wizards. Abel never failed, but he still added some extra care during the cooking process. After an hour, Abel ended up with 64 golden potions. He did not lag and immediately returned to the lounge with the potions. “Master Bennett, how’s the formula? Was there a problem?” Wizard Charlie asked desperately since Abel only left a moment ago. As far as he knew, a normal potion maker would take an hour just to analyze a formula. “Wizard Charlie, here you go!” Abel directly handed him the portal bag with a smile. Wizard Charlie scanned it with his power of the will, and his jaw dropped. It had only been an hour, and Abel already completed the potions?! Not only did he not fail, but they were all golden rank as well. His disciple, Wizard Hal, only requested a portal of each potion for every law-defying wizard, but he was still worried that the Lightning clan might not have enough if Grandmaster Bennett failed. Then, he wouldn’t have the courage to face them. “Grandmaster Bennett, I thank you on behalf of my fellow men!: Wizard Charlie gave a big bow. “Wizard Charlie. Don’t do this!” Abel quickly bowed as well. “Grandmaster Bennett. Please tell me what you want in exchange!” Wizard Charlie said, embarrassed. Abel was too quick. He did not even mention how he should pay him. “Wizard Charlie, they are your life savers. I am not going to take anything from you!” Abel smiled. According to tradition, a potion maker needed to be paid one-third of the successful potions, but if Abel did so, the Lightning clan would not have enough. Normally he would already take his portion before he handed the potions back to the people who ask him for a favor. “Grandmaster Bennett! We will forever remember your help!” Wizard Charlie bowed again. He then took out another portal bag and handed it to Abel. “Grandmaster, these are our spoils; please accept them!” Abel scanned, and it was filled with light gems, even the ones of mad knights. “Thanks a lot then!” Abel smiled with satisfaction. “Grandmaster Bennett, I’m glad you like it!” Wizard Charlie also smiled. They then began to chat about the war. Although Abel read the documents from the wizard union, it was not as good as hearing from someone who experienced it first hand. Abel returned to his alchemy room once again after he sent off Wizard Charlie and placed his Wizard union headmaster badge of honor on the alchemy bench. In a flash of white light, the mission board was displayed. The first request: “Grandmaster, request to make a Life potion for 15,000 light gems. Ingredients provided!” It was requested by Wizard Dolan a few days ago. Since Abel had accepted the mission, Wizard Dolan increased another 5000 light gems. Abel wondered if he had waited even longer, would Wizard Dolan increase it even more? Just joking. Abel didn’t have time for that. It has been a long time since he accepted a request anyway. He scrolled through a few more requests, and they were all asking time to make a potion for 15,000 light gems. However, Abel was not planning to accept all of them at once. He just wanted to help Wizard Dolan first. 15,000 light gems was not a small number. The reason those law-defying were willing to give them out was not that they had too much to waste but because the making process would be a big hassle. This made Abel very curious, what is this Life potion? He focused his power of the will on Wizard Dylan’s request. “Request accepted. Due to the difficulty of this request, the requester will be in contact with you shortly!” A message sounded. Abel felt his heart drop. This was unlike any request he got. In the past, the ingredients would emerge on his alchemy bench as soon as he accepted a request. This was because, during normal potion requests through the Wizard Union system, the requester would send their ingredients to the wizard union service department beforehand. After Abel completed the potion, he would send the potion back to the wizard union service department, and the wizard union would analyze it before giving out his rewards. This time, however, he would be connected to Wizard Dolan.

Chapter 1168 - Blood Of God Chapter 1168: Blood of God Wizard Dolan was quicker than Abel expected. In just a few minutes, he was at the Golden Castle. Abel met up with him in the lounge. “Grandmaster Bennett, I’ve been waiting for you to accept my request for a long time!” Wizard Dolan said with a friendly yet irritated tone. “Wizard Dolan, I’ve been in retreat. Sorry!” Abel smiled. “Grandmaster Bennett, that’s why I come here so fast. I was afraid that you would go back in retreat!” Wizard Dolan also smiled. He organized a few men to monitor the wizard union system at all times and notify him once Abel accepted his request. “Wizard Dolan, what Life potion is it? I saw that a few other legendary wizards also listed some similar requests.” Abel asked curiously. “The Life potion’s formula was discovered in an ancient sight by the wizard union. We sacrificed a lot for it’s ingredients. But even after we did, we realised no potion maker could make them!” Wizard Dolan laughed. It has been a few thousand years since, but even with the large amounts of odd resources of the WIzard Union, they only managed to accumulate 5 portions. Perhaps there were only 5 portions in this world. The wizard union needed a confident master potion maker, but no one was up to the task. After some long investigation, the wizard union discovered this Life potion actually belonged to a completely different rank, a grandmaster rank. There was information about grandmaster alchemists in the ancient documents, but since there was never a grandmaster alchemist, their investigation could only stay on the surface level. However, since the 5 legendary wizards met Abel when he was a master alchemist, they were confident that he could become a grandmaster alchemist eventually. Therefore, they decided to beat the others to the punch and exchanged all the Life potions ingredients from the Wizard Union. Most of the other legendary wizards were in retreat, so they didn’t even know that a grandmaster alchemist had emerged. “Wizard Dolan, can I look at the formula?” Abel asked curiously. “Of course, I got it ready long ago!” Wizard Dolan took out a vintage stone from his portal bag and carefully placed it on the table. Abel picked it up. The age on it was hard to hide. Abel could immediately tell it was from ancient times. “Grandmaster Bennett. I’m afraid that the translated formula they got was wrong, so I’ve brought you the original one. the language of high elves shouldn’t be a challenge to you right?” Wizard Dolan smiled. Abel knew the language of high elves. He even had a group of them in the Dark World. He began to scan the stone. The first thing that caught his attention was the main ingredient. It was the blood of a god, the actual blood of a god. There were also many supporting ingredients he never even heard of. At least now he understood why master potion makers could not make them. The alchemy pattern within them could not possibly possess the power to ignite the blood of god. The power of a life potion was to increase lifespan by 20 percent. For a normal person who lived to 100, it would be 20 years. But for a law-defying wizard who lived for thousands of years, that would be 200 or even 300 years. It would be even more for a Legendary. “Wizard Dolan, do you have the ingredients?” Abel asked. “Grandmaster Bennett, please!” Wizard Dolan took out a box filled with magic patterns. Abel looked down. The box was bound by energy. Even his power of the will could not scan the things inside without opening it. He carefully opened the box with his hand. The ingredients were stored in the typical Central continent fashion, with ingredients divided into different slots. The slots were also filled with magic patterns for preservation. A crystal glass within a slot caught his eyes. He immediately knew it was the blood of god. He reached out and began to examine it in detail. He was not a stranger to the blood of god. Back when he was in the Holy Continent, he already ventured into the orcs and found an orc god’s blood. However, this blood of god was far more powerful than the Orc god blood. “Wizard Dolan, have you heard about the Orc god?” Abel asked. “Orc god? The one in the Holy Continent?” Wizard Dolan guessed, but he wasn’t sure. “Yeah, the one in the Holy Continent!” Abel nodded. “Grandmaster, the orc god is actually not a real god—just an arrogant half god with no passed down knowledge. He picked a fight with the wizard union and we began to hunt him down. But still, he escaped!” Wizard Dolan laughed. Abel sighed. Maybe the orc god could become an actual god if they were in a time ruled by gods, but they were not. It was too bad—not knowing how to be humble in front of wizards was basically suicide. Abel then turned his attention back to the blood of god. However, he soon frowned. Although its energy was extremely powerful, its life force was pale in comparison. It was not even as powerful as the orc god’s blood. There was no way this blood belonged to an actual god, according to the wizard union. He ignited his world stone and fully focused on the crystal glass. Soon, he discovered the reason—the passage of time. Even the wizard union used their best crystal glass and magic box to preserve it. They were still nothing compared to the preservation method of ancient times. The orc god, on the other hand, had not been dead for too long, and its life force was always preserved in an ancient sight. This was how drinking the orc god blood could directly increase 100 years of age. According to his analysis, this blood of god only had one-third of its original power. He might get better results even if he just used the orc god blood to make this Life potion. “Wizard Dolan, I’m afraid there is a problem with this blood of god!” Abel turned and said. “Grandmaster Bennett, I’m not doubting your ability, but we are quite confident in it!” Wizard Dolan said confidently. “What I meant is that the life force of this blood of god is fading. If I make a life potion with this bottle, the outcome will not be as good as you expected!” Abel explained. “Grandmaster Bennett, are the other ingredients okay?” Wizard Dolan suddenly let out a breath of relief and asked again. Abel was confused. Weren’t the main ingredients the most difficult ingredients to get? Still, he began to look through the other ingredients. Luckily the wizard union still had a good method of storing newer ingredients. “Wizard Dolan, the other ingredients are all good!” After a while, Abel replied with certainty. “That’s great, do you know how to preserve the blood of god?” Wizard Dolan asked. Abel was caught off guard. What kind of question was that? Did Wizard Dolan have a way of getting fresh blood from a god? Although all the remaining gods of this world were close allies of the Wizard Union and Wizard Dolan was very powerful in the union, Abel still wouldn’t believe he could just ask a god for their blood. It was not easy to negotiate with a god. Especially getting a part of their body. Even a legendary professional needed a long time to recover from a small injury through meditation without Abel’s potion, let alone a god. Recovery for them needed the power of god, which would be unnecessary to even explain its significance. On top of that, all gods were arrogant, so asking them for blood was basically an impossible task. “Wizard Dolan, I don’t have a good method either!” Abel shook his head. The only method he had was his personal storage box in the Horadric Cube. It was a holy object with the ability to freeze time. However, it was also the foundation of his power, and he was not planning to expose it. Wizard Dolan frowned. In reality, it was not totally impossible for him to get a tiny bit of blood from a god, but getting some each time would be a big hassle since he could not guarantee if the life force within it would fade or not. From Abel’s words, he understood that the effect of a Life potion depended on the life force within the blood. He hesitated, but lifespan was still extremely important to him as a low-rank legendary wizard. He needed time to push him through the next rank. “Grandmaster Bennett, can you come with me to the Wizard Union HQ? I can set up the best alchemy room there for you!” Wizard Dolan asked. “Why?” Abel asked in confusion. “Grandmaster Bennett, to be honest with you, the Wizard Union had gods locked up in the HQ. There is one of them that we can get some blood from and make a Life potion out of it in real time!” Wizard Dolan replied. Abel’s jaw dropped. He knew the Wizard Union was powerful, but he never expected them to have gods locked up as blood providers.

Chapter 1169 - God Of War Chapter 1169: God of War Abel knew a thing or two about gods. There was only one way to have easy access to the blood of a god, and that was taking some from a god in deep slumber. That god needed to have no followers left. If not, there would still be a small chance of reawakening. Therefore the Wizard Union was basically making a bet. But still, Wizard Dolan sounded very confident. Abel followed him to the Wizard Union HQ with Frankenstein by his side. After all, Frankenstein was his mode of transportation. They arrived at a large teleportation circle exclusive to the top ranks of the Wizard Union. “Grandmaster Bennett. You as a headmaster of honour, so you can also use this large teleportation circle if you want to come to the HQ in the future!” Wizard Dolan stepped out and smiled. Abel merely smiled. He probably wouldn’t come here again unless it was totally necessary because he could sense many unbearably scary energy behind them. Of course, it was also because he had his world stone ignited. He wouldn’t be able to sense them in normal circumstances. Even the least powerful energy was as strong as Wizard Dolan. Abel wanted to keep his identity a secret, so he had to be extra careful. He began to regret it. If he knew there were so many powerful figures in the Wizard Union HQ earlier, he would not have come here. There was an angel in his druid soul. As far as he knew, the Demon from Beyond himself was an angel. If the Wizard Union HQ discovered that he had an angel, they would directly take him down. He might not even have the privilege to get locked up like the other gods. Still, the soul was the hardest thing to grasp in this world, especially what’s within it. His druid soul was masked, so he should be fine. The teleportation circle was located in the corridor, and they did not come across any wizards along the way. After passing through a few doors, they arrived at the underground. “Grandmaster Bennett, Wizard Frankenstein can not enter the following area!” Wizard Dolan said. Abel understood, so he nodded to Frankenstein and left him standing like a statue. It was a lifeless being, after all. They passed through another door, and they arrived at an open space. The walls and ceiling were filled with all kinds of magic patterns, and Abel could sense many triggers around him. Even his skin began to feel irritated through his head commander’s intuition. There were at least 10 crossbows aiming at him. “Grandmaster Bennett, please take out your headmaster badge of honour and hang it on your waist!” Wizard Dolan reminded. Abel nodded and took out the headmaster badge from his portal bag. Immediately, all the threats he felt were gone. Even the crossbows turned away. Wizard Dolan gazed at Abel. He knew it was impossible for a normal portal bag to block the detection of the magic circles around, let alone a headmaster badge. There was only one explanation, Abel’s portal bag was an extremely high-level one. Still, it was none of his business. He wouldn’t stand here as a legendary if he couldn’t even hold himself back from looking at a portal object. Abel began to see wizards, and they all looked very serious. “Grandmaster Bennett. This is the base of the Wizard Union. None of the wizards working here will never be able to leave unless they become a legendary!” Wizard Dolan explained. Abel understood. They were working on top secrets, after all. After some more walking, Wizard Dolan led Abel to a room with a short distance teleportation circle. However, WIzard Dolan did not ignite the circle immediately. Instead, they allowed a magic circle to scan their bodies. “Welcome Wizard Dolan and Honourable Headmaster Bennett; teleportation begins!” A robotic sound emerged, and Abel felt something gently lifted him into the teleportation circle. Soon, he arrived at another room. “Grandmaster Bennett. This is the most important place of the wizard union. Please be careful. You only have permission to be here with me around. Even if Wizard Dolan did not warn him, Abel would understand just by sensing the sheer volume of defense around him. If he was not wrong, this place shouldn’t be too far away from the underground space, but he was sure it was even deeper. It was a strange feeling. Even the magic circles around him couldn’t soothe it. Abel kept quiet and stepped out with Wizard Dolan. Immediately, he noticed a change In style. The place was built out of stones from ancient sights. He almost couldn’t believe he was in the Wizard Union HQ. “Grandmaster Bennett, as you can see, this place is built out of the materials found in ancient sights. Even I will have a hard time damaging them. On top of their defence, this place might be the most heavily guarded place in the continent….” Suddenly, Wizard Dolan thought of the golden castle and added, “one of the most heavily guarded places!” There was no decoration. All the stones were filled with magic patterns. As they stepped in, a power of the will scanned their bodies. It then retracted once it confirmed its identity. Wizard Dolan looked serious. But there was a hint of respect on his face when the power of the will scanned him. Since Abel still had his world stone ignited, sensing that power of the will made him felt like a spec of dust facing the ocean. It was not a good feeling. He always thought of himself as decently powerful with a Legendary knight as summon and an angel body, but in reality, he was laughable in the face of the Wizard Union’s true power. Maybe Wizard Dolan and his 5 co-workers were just some legendary wizards working part-time on the surface. “Grandmaster Bennett, I will take you to the god of war now!” Wizard Dolan walked with Abel for a moment and pushed open a door. “God of war? The one the Barbarians worshiped in the Battlecry plateau?” Abel immediately asked, “Yes, the Barbarians’ god of war. He was captured long ago. It took a while for us to get his power down!” WIzard Dolan smiled awkwardly. According to the Wizard Union’s information, they were almost certain that Abel was the one who took their secret totem. But it was because of this change of faith among Barbarians, the god of war no longer had a single follower left. Of course, the Wizard union didn’t believe Abel was the only one behind this. Only the goddess of the moon could change the faith of an entire race in such a short period of time, so she must have taken this role. Things like this would normally be taken very seriously by the Wizard Union, but since the Barbarians were in decline, with the most powerful warrior being rank 20 and a population of less than a million, the faith they generated would not make much of a difference. The Barbarians used to be one of the most powerful races, but after countless years of suppression by the Wizard union, they could only be helpers in the front line at the most. Most importantly, Holy Knights were the universal enemy of the Central continent and their close-range fighting style perfectly suppressed the Barbarians. With the Barbarian’s limited fighting moves, they stood no chance against the Holy Knights aura, which ultimately led to their downfall. Still, their battlecry and enchanting ability made them the perfect supporter in a team. That was how Barbarians remained as a profession. “Are we going to open that stone door?” Abel immediately changed the topic. He didn’t want to talk to Wizard Dolan about this even in private, let alone with a powerful figure around. “Grandmaster, that’s exactly what we are about to do!” Wizard Dolan smiled. He stepped up and placed his hand on the stone door, and the pattern on its surface began to glow. After a minute, the entire door was glowing in white as it slowly moved open. Wizard Dolan smiled and nodded to Abel, signaling him to follow. So Abel did not hesitate. Inside was an enclosed room made of stone as well, but on the deepest corner lies a sleeping giant locked up by 4 metal chains. The giant was 5 meters tall. Since it did not have any clothes on, Abel could clearly see the mountain-like muscles on its body. It had a full head of shiny long hair waving in mid-air even though there was no wind in the room. Abel was confused. He was so close to such a strong body, but he didn’t feel any energy coming from it. The god of war should have a scary amount of energy. Abel turned his gaze towards the metal chains on its body. It seemed like they were no ordinary chain. They were absorbing energy from the god of war and transferring it to the stone wall behind him. “Master Bennett, this is the god of war!” Wizard Dolan was also a little stunned. It didn’t seem like he came here very often either. Abel nodded. “The chains on its body are from ancient times made to suppress gods. It had the power to absorb the power of god and turn it into this building’s defense.” Abel couldn’t help but feel pitiful for it. It was the highest being that was locked up in a room for weaklings to come stare at it. But that was not all. These two weaklings were about to withdraw blood from it.

Chapter 1170 - Grandmaster’S Potion Chapter 1170: Grandmaster’s Potion Wizard Dolan said, “I’ll be drawing blood out now, Grandmaster Bennett.” He then took out a dagger from his portal bag. Abel could feel how different it was as soon as it was out. Given the light that was reflecting from the blade, this was probably a divine-level weapon. In other words, this could only be the creation of divine spirits and not any grandmaster blacksmith. Wizard Dolan explained to Abel, “This belonged to the war god. It didn’t have much use since it’s a very short weapon, but I am using it as my last line of defence. Unfortunately, I’ve had to spend quite a lot of points for it.” He then took a few steps forward towards the god of war, who was stuck inside the stone room. He stabbed the blade. As the blade struck down and made contact with the skin of the god of war, a sound of metals clunking each other could be heard. He didn’t stop there, however. He only continued to stab the same position. After multiple strikes, a minor wound finally appeared at the god of war’s shin. Wizard Dolan reached for a crystal bottle from his portal bag. He placed it near the wound to catch a droplet of blood, which was gold. As soon as the golden droplet fell, the wound on the shin immediately healed. It could be said that the defensive power of the god of war was very frightening. The god of war was in a completely defenseless position, by the way. Given that he was asleep, his body should be in an extremely relaxed state. Also, with all the years of having energy sucked out of his body without recharging any back, he was as weak as he could be. Wizard Dolan explained to Abel, “Divine spirits can only be hurt with physical attacks. This rule can be only made an exception when there are divine items involved. This is why, Master Bennett, you don’t get to see a lot of divine items that are meant for close-range combat.” Abel was just starting to notice. It was just like Wizard Dolan said. He had never seen any divine items that were meant for close-range combat. The divine dagger in Wizard Dolan’s hands was the first one he saw. Still, he quickly thought back to his rune weapon. He wasn’t even sure if the rune weapon could injure any divine spirit. Still, since the environment here was not right, he would’ve gone and done some experiments immediately. Wizard Dolan passed the “divine blood” to Abel, “I’ll pass this to you, Grandmaster Bennett. Let’s head over to the alchemy lab. I’ve got my own men setting it up already. Wizard Dolan was in a rush. Well, as he should be. To prevent too much life force from leaving the divine blood, he went as far as coming to collect the blood with his access permit. This was truly something that he wouldn’t do most of the time. As a matter of fact, he wouldn’t even be here if the god of war still had any worshippers left, and even if he was trying to in that condition, he would have to wait for anyone available in the Wizard Union to do the job for him. Abel turned around to Wizard Dolan after looking at Wizard Dolan, “Is the God of war going to wake up, Wizard Dolan?” “Never, unless…” Wizard Dolan paused a bit before continuing, “Unless his followers return.” Abel understood that Wizard Union had really made a misunderstanding here. He knew who Wizard Dolan was referring to, but he wasn’t going to bother explaining. Instead, he decided to just make this unclear forever. He wouldn’t have to worry about this after his Beamon giant beast Doff became an actual divine spirit. After verifying their identities, they all passed through the short-distance teleportation circle and arrived at the underground basement of the Wizard Union headquarter to meet up with Frankenstein. Wizard Dolan was just bringing Abel to an alchemy lab that was prepared. After sending Abel inside, he and Frankenstein stood still and waited outside. Abel was just standing in front of the alchemy table. He took out the divine blood that was much, much fresher than the one that was preserved for who-knows-how-many years. This drop had an incredible amount of life force inside. The golden drop was just swirling inside the bottle. Abel felt like the blood was pretty much a lifeform of its own. He quickly went ahead to take out the other ingredients and contained them with his power of the Will. Apart from the divine blood, he could sense that there were three extremely rare ingredients of the same quality. While he was confident that the brew was going to be successful, he still went ahead and switched on the ability of the world stone fragment. Among the ingredients that were involved in this brew, the three rarest ones and the divine blood would be the most difficult to sort out. Abel had to know after he did it himself that some of these could only be processed with his grandmaster’s rune. Still, although there was just one portion, he couldn’t just synthesize these with his Horadric Cube. It was all manual. The most he could synthesize was the water, which would boost the overall effectiveness of the potions. While doing the brew, all the ingredients that were added were being mixed quite well. The only thing that Abel didn’t like was that the three rarest ingredients and the divine blood were reacting very, very slowly. The brew took only six hours before they were finished. As a rainbow “sublimation” light was rising out of the alchemy bottle, Abel was finally starting to notice that the grandmaster-level potion was done. He wasn’t sure if it was good enough, though, because this was the very first grandmaster potion he remembered making. What he had confidence in, however, was that he did not make any mistakes after switching on the world stone fragment. After focusing his power of the Will for six total hours, Abel was starting to feel exhausted. He tried to hold on to watch the rainbow light slowly putting itself back. Eventually, all that was left was the blue light, and the blue light would transform into blue lighting arcs that would continue to flash on the surface of the alchemy bottles. He shook his head in disappointment when he saw this. After spending so much effort, he would’ve expected at least golden quality. When the “life prolonging potions” were about to be done, an insignificant amount of energy began flowing inside Abel’s grandmaster alchemist rune. He couldn’t help but frown at this. He didn’t expect one brew to generate so little energy. By his estimate, it was quite difficult for him to break through the level of grandmaster alchemist. The three ingredients were even more difficult to obtain than the divine blood. The time it took was also too much for him. It took six hours for one brew. Even if he did get enough materials, it would still take several centuries to fill up his grandmaster’s rune. That wasn’t to say that Abel was giving up. No, in fact, he thought that peak was just right after the grandmaster level. It was just like this, at least for this era. If the other alchemists knew what he was thinking, they might’ve just thought that he was crazy. He just became a grandmaster, and thinking right about becoming something beyond seemed only like he was pushing too far. This sort of mindset, however, was precisely what made him extremely capable of making long-term plans. Abel switched on his world stone fragment to start scanning the blue quality “life-prolonging potion.” As it stood, the life-prolonging effect was supposed to boost total life capacity by thirty percent. After taking a crystal bottle to fill it with the potion, he immediately went out to open the alchemy lab. Wizard Dolan could see that Abel was exhausted, “Are you alright, Grandmaster Bennett?” Abel smiled and shook his head, “It’s fine, Wizard Dolan. I just used up too much of my willpower.” Abel could see that Wizard Dolan was not paying attention to the potion. It was heartwarming to see that he cared more for his health. Wizard Dolan looked concerned, “I didn’t expect a one-time brew to do this to you!” Wizard Dolan did have experience in seeing Abel’s brew. It was really weird seeing Abel in this state because last time, he created 9000 bottles over the course of a few days. Abel passed the blue quality potion to Wizard Dolan, “I thought the brew was successful, but..” Wizard Dolan was concerned but was very pleased as soon as he took the bottle over. Abel continued, “I’m not as skilled as I’d like to be. The best I could get was a blue quality, but it could increase your lifespan by 30%.” Wizard Dolan widened his eyes, “You mean this bottle can boost one’s lifespan by 30%?” It wasn’t like Wizard Dolan didn’t believe Abel, but this was just too much. Even in the ancient records, there had been no records of any blue quality grandmaster potions. It all had to do with the raw materials used for the grandmaster’s potions. For starters, grandmaster ingredients would make the potions extremely difficult to brew. Abel was also not much better than the alchemy grandmasters of ancient times. Even if he had the help of the world stone fragment, he was still not sure that he was not going to make any mistakes. In ancient times, since there were a lot more materials, the grandmaster alchemist did have more access. They were also not much worse than Abel. The reason that Abel could produce the potions he had now had a lot to do with the synthesizing effect of the Horadric Cube. Although he didn’t go ahead to sort through the materials, the water used was synthesized by the cube, and therefore the effect of the potion was very different from regular potions. Wizard Dolan was very grateful for what he was getting, “30% increase? That’s, ha, ha ha! So good to have you here, Grandmaster Bennett. I’ve got hope now to promote!” Abel was watching Wizard Dolan the entire time. He didn’t bother Wizard Dolan. Instead, he was just waiting for Wizard Dolan to quiet down. Wizard Dolan smiled and bowed, “I’m sorry, Grandmaster Bennett.” After saying that, he took out a portal bag, “Here. It’s the reward for you. I feel like I’m not giving enough this time. I’ll make sure to gather 10000 low-tier light stones in two days.” Abel didn’t back down. He got what he deserved, so he happily accepted the bag. Abel made a request to Wizard Dolan, “I hope you’re not announcing that I’m brewing the life-prolonging potions, Wizard Dolan. I’m not going back to brew grandmaster potion lately!” Wizard Dolan smiled, “I won’t tell the other wizards about this. You’ve had a very busy day today, Grandmaster Bennett. I’ll be sending you back now.” He could see that Abel was brewing too much in one day. This was not sustainable. Also, it was not sustainable to keep collecting blood from the god of war. What Wizard Dolan had to do here was to tell the other four legendary wizards about the effect of the life-prolonging potions. He needed more people on his side that would make things progress faster. Abel didn’t use the potion to recover himself. He was always using the “stamina potion” and the “full recovery vitality potion” on himself, but he needed to make sure that he was making it to Wizard Dolan about how difficult it was to brew potions like this. After Abel went back, he immediately went ahead to take a bottle of the “full recovery vitality potion.” Almost instantly, his stamina and spirit were recovered back to normal. He wasn’t feeling good. Although he was coming back to normal, the fatigue he was feeling on the inside would require him to actually go to sleep. With that, Abel went to sleep and headed over to the bedroom. He slept immediately after laying on the bed. He was in the master’s bedroom of the golden castle. He hadn’t been using it on any day, so today was kind of special in its own right. Abel was just starting to notice something. While he couldn’t remain as an angel in his world, he would always transfer his intelligence into the druid spirit when he was taking a break. While he was taking a break with his main soul, he could use his angel slowly to do some learning of, say, the heritage of angels while he was asleep.

Chapter 1171 - Angelic Body Chapter 1171: Angelic Body Abel was just standing inside the Rogue’s Encampment. He had two bodies now. One belonged to his wizard body. The other belonged to his angelic body. Both of these were here at the same time. The wizard was just sitting amidst the mana gathering circle with an advanced Lightstone in his hands. He just consumed one wisdom fruit, and he had the most luxurious training. Even now, Abel’s strength was on a gradual increase. It could even be said that he could become a legendary wizard in just a few years, which was why he spent even more time cherishing all the training he was doing inside the dark world. He could feel all the progress he was making with his everyday training. The angelic body held the “spirit” sword and the “spirit” shield to practice combat techniques. Although the angelic heritage sword technique was proven to be quite powerful, Abel did possess the sword technique of the Holy Continent knights already. That was not to say that he couldn’t feel the difference between the two. Well, he didn’t actually need either since he did have the world stone fragment to help him see through all the moves of his enemies. In other words, all the enemies that were fighting with him would have their techniques nullified before even using them. He could see through all their moves before they were even attempted. This was unless it was the close-range technique of class holders, but those were more like spells than combat techniques. Right now, Abel was really just using his angelic body to practice swinging a sword. The purpose, of course, was so that the body could guide through energy like this. The techniques he could use now were for combat, but mostly, it was just so that the body could control the energy that it contained, energy as in the white light emitted out of his “spirit” sword. The white light from out of the angel’s body was very close to the divine light on the sacred knight sword, but the two were different. The white light on the spirit sword belonged to the power of light, which was a much high-ranking power than the divine power that belonged only to the angles. That was the part that Abel was unhappy about, actually. He couldn’t use it on the central continent. He couldn’t possibly reveal anything angelic if he was doing it on the central continent. Now, it was not a hard job at all to take hold of the angelic heritage. Angels would take a very short period of time to control the angelic heritage. As complicated as the process was, many heritage knowledge could only be unlocked unless the angels were strong enough. As for, the only ones that could be controlled was the power of light. As for now, Abel didn’t even have to sleep when he was inside the dark world. During his fight with the hell creatures during the day, he would occasionally bring his angelic body so his wizard body could go to sleep. During the night, once his wizard meditation training was over, he would then transfer his conscience to the angelic body to start practicing the power of light. Since he kept repeating this process of practicing and fighting with the hell creatures, he became ever more powerful at taking control of this. Abel was just starting to notice that the light of power was a hard counter to the hell creatures. This would make facing the hell creatures boost his attacking capability by 50%. The power of light was an elemental attack that was designed to target the wizards. It was also very similar to the divine power of the sacred knights, the qi of the barbarian class holders, the death qi of the orc priests, and the natural power of the druids. Once an attack was unleashed, the power of light would neglect all physical attacks, which was what made it special from everything else. Thus, it could be said that the power of light was a special element of it. Again, as overpowered as it was, the only way Abel could use it now was in close-range combat. Abel thought to the guardian wings of the Nation of God. Perhaps it had to do with the training of the angels. He thought that he might be able to one day reach the physical sturdiness of a real angel. By that point, he might just call out Izuel out of his crystal angelic statue. Although divine bestowment was only enough, its fighting capability might just reach that of a half-god. Abel ordered his angelic body to withdraw the “spirit” sword and “spirit” shield. The mission for today was just done. He really liked using his angelic body for practice. He liked the thrill of engaging in close-range combat, and while he was combining his sword technique with his wizard spells, he could enjoy breaking some sweat while doing this with a cool head. That being said, there wasn’t any weakness that he didn’t know of himself. He didn’t possess the teleportation ability of the wizards, which meant that he could only continue to run with his angelic body. As fast as it was (and he was riding on Black Wind), it was still nowhere to match real teleportation. Today, Abel was planning on using his body to enter into his meditation training as a wizard. He felt confident that his angelic body could learn more about the wizard class. He could feel the mental power of his angelic body was especially stronger, much stronger than his wizard mind. With that in mind, he decided to try meditation with his angelic body. He didn’t switch on the mana gathering circle for this. This was the first time he was doing meditation with his angelic body, so he thought it was enough to absorb mana from the air around him. Abel sat flat on the ground and focused as much as he could on his meditation. He used his power of the WIll to begin illustrating a wizard rune, which was a very easy job on its own. It took him barely any time to finish this. Following that, he began absorbing the mana that was around him. He gathered the mana and inserted it into his wizard rune. He solidified it amidst his soul. The rune was pretty much completed, and he was nothing more than a beginner-level apprentice wizard from there. An accident happened, though. While he was filtering the mana he was absorbing, the energy was immediately expelled from him as soon as it went in. He didn’t understand what happened, so he went ahead and tried again. The result was the same. As long as the mana was entering his body, his body would resist it as much as possible. While he was trying, the rank 1 wizard rune inside started dispersing since it was no longer in shape. He murmured to himself, “What happened here?” He did not feel right about this, so he walked to the mana gathering circle beside and took out some high-middle tier light stones before going back. Since the mana could not be absorbed, he thought that he might absorb the energy contained inside the light stones. Once again, he entered into his meditation stage and began illustrating his wizard rune. The process was just the same as before. Once he started absorbing the energy of the light stones, his body began repelling all of it. Abel was felt kind of helpless. He was starting to think that his angelic body could not commence any wizard training. He shook his head and tried a few more times. Whatever the case was, as long as other energies were entering his body, they would still be repelled away. He was only starting to realize how overpowered the light power was. It was not good with most types of energy. It couldn’t even be placed in the same location as his wizard mana. That’s when Abel had to look for an alternative. He was starting to remember something. The soul that his angelic body was using was his druid soul. Invisible energy was contained in his druid soul, and that was the type of energy that could exist in his angelic body. With that in mind, he tried to transfer some natural energy out to cast a druid spell. When the energy was drawn out, however, the same thing just happened again. This time, it was a lot more direct. The death qi that was transformed was immediately extinguished instead of repelled. The death qi was just appearing in his angelic body, but as though having met its natural enemy, it was destroyed on the spot. In other words, if Abel was using his angelic body now, he would not be able to use both his druid class skills and his priest skills. He couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at this. So having two bodies at the same time was not a good thing for him. If he wanted to call out his summon creatures and fight in his angelic body, he did that in the right order. That being said, he would want to keep using his orc priest curses in combat. The “aging” curse was pretty much mandatory. As a matter of fact, while the angelic body was very powerful on its own, now that he was inside the dark world, the angel’s body was pretty much not different at all to Wale, the legendary sacred knight. The angelic body was still quite weak now, but given the time for it to slowly grow independently, it might just become much stronger than any divine spirit. What Abel lacked precisely, however, was time. If he wanted to wait, his blue dragon body would just have to wait slowly and allow tens of thousands of years to pass. He would naturally be a legendary figure much earlier than that. He could also wait for his Beamon giant beast to become the divine spirit of an entire race. Either way, he was always glad to have the angelic body with him. It was definitely extraordinary in its own way. Although he couldn’t use his teleportation in it, that was pretty much only because his body was under suppression inside the dark world. If the angelic body was on the central continent and possessed the same sturdiness as legendary class holders, Abel would naturally possess the ability to fly now. The obvious weakness, however, was that the body was too weak. It would also repel all other classes, so Abel would only fight with his light power. It wasn’t like the light power was not powerful, but this would take too much time to grow independently. If the angel’s body couldn’t boost his power in the short term, there would be a limit to how far the angelic body could grow. It’d be pretty much useless if he couldn’t get it to the level of a divine spirit within a century. The demon from beyond was definitely to take up during that time, and he was definitely going to have a fight when the time came. Abel understood. The more powerful a race was, the slower its growth would be. This was clear for the dragons. Dragons took about one hundred years to pass childhood. If they wanted to grow to the point that they could overpower law-defying wizards, that would be thousands of years they’d have to wait and grow. For legendary figures, it would be tens of thousands of years. This was the case for the dragons, and the angels should follow the exact same principles. The angels did pass through their youthful stages with their tremendous storage of energy, but to spend up all the worship power that they did during youth, growth was a very difficult thing. Abel’s angelic body was just now taking care of the energy that was inside his body. He hadn’t reached the threshold for extending his energy outreach yet. More importantly, now that the angels were taking control of his followers, he’s still barely got the time to develop his faith. With all these things in mind, he was starting to feel like the growth of his angelic body had a very, very long way to go. Abel thought to himself, “Perhaps I’ll let this body go inside the Nation of God and see what will happen.” The whole reason that Abel got an angelic body was that he managed to sneak into the Nation of God before. He was already sure that he could go in and out freely. If he wanted to let his angelic body grow quickly, he knew that he would have to go back to the Nation of God immediately. He needed to see if it could absorb energy from the guardian wings or if he needed to look for any chance inside the Nation of God. Abel understood. Lately, the Wizard Union had been continually going against the Nation of God. His multiple “divine bestowments” in the Nation of God had been very successful, so much so that he could kill at least ten preachers in every one of his assassination attempts. The Nation of God had always been furious about this, but they never had the right chance to get him since they could not send the right number of sacred knights. Abel has been getting a lot of changes lately. If he wanted to allow his angelic body to receive any benefits from the Nation of God, he would’ve had to go right away. He was just returning to the golden castle from the dark world. It was morning right now. While he was preparing to leave, he immediately received a message that was sent from the research spirit. The research spirit’s voice was sent over, “Wizard Hutton of the dwarves are waiting for you inside the guest meeting room.” Abel shook his head and sighed. It looked like his plan was about to be intercepted. He still had to meet with Wizard Hutton, though. He got the short-distance circle sending him over to the guest meeting room, and he immediately saw Wizard Hutton waiting for him. Wizard Hutton smiled and bowed, “You ate yet, Grandmaster Bennett?” Abel smiled and returned a bow, “I just got up, Wizard Hutton!” Wizard Hutton’s eyes were sparkling, “We’ll eat and talk in the dining room, then.” Abel had no idea why Wizard Hutton arrived so early, but it got a lot clearer when he realized that he was just here to have some food. Abel just smiled and invited Wizard Hutton. “Please, Wizard Hutton.”

Chapter 1172 - Going Again Chapter 1172: Going Again “I love being a guest at your place, Grandmaster Bennett!” Wizard Hutton was drinking some grandmaster’s wine while stuffing food in his mouth. He was about one of the few law-defying wizards that actually visited Abel now. Being a Grandmaster meant that even the law-defying wizards had to be careful when they tried to waste his time. This was especially the case after the Wizard Union granted him the honorary elder badge. Wizard Hutton was not that much of an exception, actually. He would’ve had to put himself in line if he wasn’t just visiting Abel. All the stuff he was eating and drinking now would have not been available for several months if he didn’t have something to visit Abel for. Abel smiled, “How’s Bernie lately?” Wizard Hutton liked his student a lot, “He’s close to reaching rank five. He’s got a lot of supplements, so I think the process will be pretty fast.” Abel said in a relaxed manner, “I’ll just get someone to send some supplementary potions over.” Abel knew that Bernie’s training speed would be fast. Bernie was using the finest materials that he sent over. The grandmaster’s wine that was synthesized twice, in fact, was something that only the dwarven law-defying wizards had access to. Wizard Hutton remembered something, “Just get Bernie to train slower, Grandmaster Bennett. It’s not too good if he’s doing this too much.” Abel was just watching Wizard Hutton, “Forget about him for a second. Why are you even here in the first place today?” Wizard Hutton stopped chewing for a bit, “Ah! Um, oh, I almost forgot. The dwarven king just asked me to invite you over to the Iron Furnace Fort. If you have the time, that is.” Abel thought of a time, “I’ll be going in ten days, then. Send word to his Majesty for me.” Wizard Hutton smiled, “No problems, Grandmaster Bennett. It’s good as long as you have the availability. I’ll be picking you up in the morning in ten days.” Just when Abel was about to decline, he started to notice the prideful smile on Wizard Hutton’s face. He didn’t say it out loud, but Wizard Hutton was definitely thinking about getting more free food here the next time. Before Wizard Hutton left, he brought some grandmaster’s wine that was for the next month. Some of it was for Bernie and his training. After he left the golden castle, Abel went over to the Fire Tooth Battle Fort and allowed the Fire Tooth Spirit to drive to the beach that he was at when he was driving to the Nation of God. As soon as he went in, he returned to his human form and began searching for any information he could about the Nation of God. He quickly read through the messages that were shown inside the crystal angelic statue. Many of the prayer messages of the followers were switched around by his power of the Will. Of course, he made sure to reduce the range of his scan this time. He didn’t have to look up his followers that were supervised by his preachers, because they’d only be living in the more desolate areas where nothing major ever happened. Abel just saw a message that was related to the central temple of the Nation of God. It was the prayer content about a servant that was living inside the temple. The servant wished that the Saint would be safe the entire time he was fighting on the frontline. He was asking Abel to protect his safety there, such that no accidents nor incidents were to happen. Of course, Abel knew who the Saint was. As he looked at the time that this prayer took place, he was just starting to learn that this representative of the temple was not there recently. Abel was just starting to feel a bit moved. He wanted to see if there was any treasure of the demon from beyond inside the temple. He thought that the demon from beyond was greater than a angel, so he wanted to use the treasure on his own angel body. To confirm this, he connected his worship passageway to the servant over there. He began inspecting its thoughts to examine what was happening. As there had been so much tension on the frontline for so long, the Nation of God had been holding against the Wizard Union in a very anxious manner. Even the sacred knights who were faithful were starting to become more and more intimidated by the walls that were built. There was a battle fort that was built at the ten resource points that were at the very front. The dwarves made it. Since it was a larger building, there was an invisible line drawn to separate the frontline and the resource points. Of course, this was the Wizard Union’s plan. As long as the dwarves had a pathway somewhere to lock access from the resource points to the frontline, a lot of the fighting powers could be relaxed and distributed to the battle forts. As for the Wizard Union mission point, a new mission was just assigned. It was meant so that those who accepted it could do patrols around the direction of the Nation of God, which would prepare for a complete liberation of all defensive powers that were situated on the frontline. This was so that the law-defying wizards could have some time out, actually. They couldn’t just stay inside the battle fort for tens or even hundreds of years. The military had to raise their morale somehow, so some wizards would be sent to “pay tribute” to the sacred knights that were attending to defend. According to the servants understanding, to protect the safety of Mr. Enlightened, not much was left inside the temple. All the powerful figures were just following Mr. Enlightened. Abel was becoming hesitant. It was extremely dangerous inside the Central Continent. This was especially the case after he’s been over at the Wizard Union headquarters once. He was gaining a whole lot better understanding of the possible risks. If he was going there again, he would feel a lot more confident since he knew he was getting a lot more powerful now. Come to think of it, when Abel thought about what he was sensing at the main building of the Wizard Union headquarters, when he was looking at the god of war that was put under shackles, he was really starting to be reminded that he was not as powerful as he’d liked to be inside this world. He said to himself, “I’ll just take a look when I’m inside the Nation of God.” Abel made preparations to unleash his angelic body once he was inside the Nation of God. If the world was starting to lose some suppressive power to the angelic body, he might just have the confidence to do something risky. Of course, the most important risk to that was that he might just lose his angelic body, but at least his life wouldn’t be in danger. That wasn’t to say that he was just going to try doing that, of course. He wouldn’t just waste a legendary item like that. The way he saw it, the smarter choice would be to give the angelic body a bit more time to allow it to grow. Once he gained control of how to use light power over long distances, he might just become a lot more powerful than ordinary legendary figures. The Fire Tooth Spirit reminded, “The golden dragon Kemble just appeared at the front, Master.” As soon as Abel extended his power of the Will, he could see that Kemble the dragon was already standing in front of him. Kemble smiled, “Blue dragon Abel! What brings you here today?” Abel bowed, “I might just need to pass through here. Am I bothering you if I spend some time going past here?” Kemble shook his head, “It’s fine. This is not a restricted area for dragons.” So Kemble was just here to greet a friend, from the looks of things. Abel took out some wine barrels and placed it inside the hallroom, “Actually, I’ve got some wine for you here.” Kemble was very glad, of course. He quickly took one and placed it in his one portal item. He was doing it one by one, and there was a total of 100 barrels of grandmaster’s wine that was synthesized twice. Abel prepared this in advance just to bring it to Kemble. Kemble laughed and slapped Abel’s shoulders, “Good brother, Abel!” Abel smiled, “I’ll be back here with more next time.” This was actually to thank Kemble for giving him some dragon scales the last time. The whole purpose of choosing this place to pass was so that he could send some gifts. Kemble bowed as he saw Abel off, “I won’t take too much of your time, Able. Remember to call me if you’re in danger.” After saying that, Kemble’s body quickly disappeared inside the Fire Tooth Fort. Abel was starting to become envious of how powerful Kemble was. Kemble basically ignored his battle fort and appeared in front of him. Anyways, Abel continued to unleash his own presence as he went on. Just like last time, no sea creature was there to bother him. He was going back to the beach that he was familiar with. He was just here last time he went inside the Nation of God. After teleporting to the outside of the guardian wings, he still didn’t have the courage to pass through the defensive barrier. This time, however, his body structure was already transformed. His main soul was purified to the point that it was just his dragon essence and his human spirit. As for his crystal angelic statue, it was now merged with hsi druid spirit so his main spirit was not affected whatsoever. Again, the connection between his main spirit and his druid spirit was very unusual. The main spirit was supposed to possess a conscience of its own, while the druid spirit could only do basic calibrations and analysis. His druid spirit could only think on its own if he was transferring his conscience into it temporarily. To make things more complicated, when Abel was calling out his angelic body, the druid spirit would leave his physical body entirely and go inside his angelic body. He would lose his druid abilities temporarily, but his druid and orc priest skills would still be on the skill tree of his Horadric Cube. He would lose his natural force and death qi, so he would be a druid and orc priest that couldn’t perform any related abilities. Abel touched the guardian wing barrier gently with his hands. He could feel a resistance force that was close. It seemed that his body was just being rejected by the guardian wing defensive barrier. He was even starting to feel like danger was imminent. He quickly unleashed some of his druid essence. When the essence was about to be leaked, the resistance force was just about to disappear, and the danger he was sensing was no more. He unleashed a long breath in relief. He was not ready to face what the guardian wings’ defensive barrie. In all the records he remembered reading, the guardian wings would unleash extremely terrifying defensive attacks that would kill even legendary figures. Abel’s hand quickly passed through the defensive barrier. After making sure that it was safe, he allowed his entire body to enter. Once again, he made his way into the Nation of God. He took the time to look around him. This was not a safe place. He needed to find somewhere that was. He quickly took out the invisibility robe and had it on him. Under the buff of his mystic headband, his scanning range was directly reached to 3000 meters. This meant that everything within a 3 kilometers radius was visible to him. He would also have the invisibility effect of his invisibility cloak to help him not disappear any time he used the “instantaneous movement.” The invisibility cloak was Abel’s trophy a while ago. He didn’t know what rank the cloak belonged to, so as his rank went up and his knowledge grew, he started to learn that it was actually a divine item. He didn’t know which divine spirit it was, but he could learn that the effect was extremely powerful. The invisibility effect could remove him from detection, and if he was to withdraw his presence slightly, it would be virtually impossible for someone to locate him. Of course, Abel did try to claim ownership of the invisibility cloak, but the ownership circle on it belonged to a divine spirit. What about his devine portal bad and divine armor? Abel was claiming ownership over those two items creatively. It mostly had to do with his crystal angelic statue. He went through some tricky methods to make sure that the items confuse him as the master. With that, he did something very easily on these two particular items that he couldn’t do to other items he came across. If he wanted to claim ownership to any other divine items, the minimum requirement would be that he became stronger than any of the divine spirits that created it. Back to the scene. Abel activated an “instantaneous movement” and scanned around him. Every time he was moving, he was moving at around 3000 metres. He was starting to have thoughts about visiting the Moon Goddess soon. If he was to see her, he might just ask to see if she could turn him into the owner of the mystic headband. He wanted to see if he would be able to keep the headband inside his body by then, just like what he could do with his transformation necklace. That way, he would’ve had to increase the power of his mystic headband manually, and his power of the Will would always be doubled in range and strength. Still, for an item as overpowered as the mystic headband, Abel was thinking that maybe it wasn’t the safest idea to have it out all the time. Maybe it was better to just keep it inside the divine portal bag. If he was bringing it out to use, maybe the other powerful figures would just notice. The powerful ones, especially, might just start a fight with him for it.

Chapter 1173 - Getting Closer Chapter 1173: Getting Closer After teleporting for about a dozen times, Abel found a valley in the jungle. Under the guidance of his power of the Will, he discovered an empty path. Combined with the natural environment nearby, he thought that it served as a pretty good hideout. Abel took off the invisibility hood that he was wearing and found a circle plate out of his portal bag. This was an intermediate-sized circle plate that cost him a lot. He traded it from the Wizard Union. After he placed two top-level gemstones inside and activated it with his power of the Will, an invisible barrier surrounded the valley and merged completely with the forest nearby. He could no longer see that there was a valley here. Slowly and carefully, he split half of his conscience and placed it inside the druid spirit. He then allowed the angelic body to be unleashed out of the druid spirit. From someone else’s perspective, it would be like a white light was suddenly flashing out of a human wizard. Following that, a shadow wearing dark golden armor looked like it was separated from that same body. Abel wasn’t sure if he was generating a doppelganger or something. Actually, not even a divine spirit would be able to explain what was going on with him. His druid spirit was something that he created himself when he came to this world. He originally removed a part of the human spirit and replaced it with a fragment he picked up. As he became stronger, so did this spirit that became a druid spirit and as a result, two powerful spirits resided in his body. It really had to do with the fact that his main spirit was reincarnated here from another world. Without this, he would’ve never noticed the possibility of replicating a spirit. This was the first time an angelic body appeared in this world. Half of his conscience was just starting to notice how much the world welcomed him. The air here was praising him. Yes, the air. It was almost like he was the ruler of this place. It was just like the demon from beyond when it founded the Nation of God. After using the guardian wings, the land was secured and built into a nation. It was the same for Abel now. He realized that his angel body had no legs. It was just floating on the ground. He was starting to understand immediately. His body was exactly the same as a legendary figure—both were in energized form. His body was even purer in that regard, actually. He was starting to possess the ability to fly. This didn’t have to do with the fact that the angelic body was just floating. It really had to do with the wings behind his back. The wings would absorb the energy in the air to replenish themselves, meanwhile also possessing the ability to fly. Abel looked around. He could see that the seclusion circle was extending out in several hundred meters. He still had the ability to fly. He tried to not use his wings. Instead, he was flying towards the side under the guidance of his power of the Will. He tried to feel the speed of it. Given his understanding, his speed was pretty much the same as a legendary figure. Abel tried to add the flight ability of his wings. Almost immediately, he could feel a terrifying pushing force pressing on his wings and spreading to his entire body. He was going out like a beam of light. He would’ve rushed out of the seclusion circle if he could. Very quickly, his body stopped automatically at one spot of the seclusion circle barrier. He wouldn’t know how far he would’ve been pushed to if he didn’t stop right there. He was flying even faster than Flying Flame, and Flying Flame could only reach maximum speed if it was using the hell “special speed enhancing technique.” It would’ve explained how the angels could fight the underworld for so many years, however. This was even faster than the “special quickening” ability of the hell creatures. Abel was feeling like a divine spirit. Of course, although he did absorb world stone fragments from three continents, he was not going to consider him as an actual divine spirit. He did feel very powerful with his angelic body, but he knew that it was all fake. All that was enhanced was his ability to move rapidly in the air. As for his attacking ability, all he managed so far was the ability to fight in close range. Abel took twenty “instantaneous movement’ spell scrolls out of his portal bag. He was starting to regret not making more purchases on the continent. Given his identity as Grandmaster Bennett, he might just be able to buy several hundred of them if he wanted to. The angelic body did not possess the ability to “teleport,” so naturally, he would have to rely on these twenty scrolls for now as his last resort. Again, he took off the invisibility cloak that he was wearing with his human body. He immediately threw the scrolls to the angelic body. Once the body took it over, all the scrolls were taken into the portal bag. He then wore the cloak on his body. His human body continued to take out 200 bottles of the “full recovery vitality potions.” After giving it a thought, he passed a portal beast bag towards the angelic body. Abel called out Flying Flame next. Since it was so reluctant to head back to the tiny portal beast bag, Abel promised to give a lot of gifts to it. Actually, Flying Flame was pretty much like his other trump card. It wasn’t quite powerful on its own, but as a dragon that could fly in the sky, if something major was to happen, he could just let it take him and fly away for an escape. If Abel could use Flying Flame, that would all be because the angelic body was already severely injured and he got nothing else to do. In any case, he wouldn’t want to be in danger. He wouldn’t want to take any risks, actually, if he never had to face massive trouble that was going to be born within 100 years. Originally, after possessing the body of a human, Abel’s goal had been to improve his strength as a wizard. He did a very good job so far at that. In just 7 to 8 years, he went from a rookie to a rank 22 law-defying wizard. He might just keep promoting if he didn’t have the angelic body. Now that he got the angelic body, he would have two choices, no, two directions that he could progress. The first direction would be to go further with his human form under the help of the wisdom fruits, the light stones, and the dark-quality training potions. The other would be to become an angel. He wasn’t sure what the advantage of that was, but he knew that he would get it after he got the angelic body. In essence, possessing an angelic body would mean that he wouldn’t have to continue with his training. That was just how angels were. Their “baseline” was pretty much legendary figures. He could start his progress from the legendary rank. As convenient as that was, it would also be a lot more difficult to see progress from there. If the demon from beyond hadn’t woken up within the last 100 years, he would just grow and not continue on with his ventures. Whichever path he was to choose, he would already become the strongest being in this world. Abel’s human body was just staring at his angelic body. He felt weird looking at himself like this. He did have a lot of experiences already inside the dark world, but the feeling remained. As a matter of fact, his conscience was still in a relatively unstable state. He was just feeling his rank 22 wizard rune with his human conscience, but his angelic body was sensing the rune of a legendary rank figure. He was not in the dark world to notice this. If he was, he would feel a balance because the dark world would suppress his stronger side. He then noticed something. If he wanted perfect control over his angelic body, it’d be much better if he was putting his conscience into it. After doing some testing, he realized that there wouldn’t be much of a discrepancy if he was still in the same world. Also, his sharp senses would make it possible for him to cross any sort of boundaries. He didn’t go to test what the effect of traveling into a different world would be. He gave up on the idea as soon as he noticed the time difference between the dark world and this world. For the maximum safety of the angelic body, he decided to put all his conscience into his druid spirit and temporarily gave up control over his human body. As soon as his human body fell, his angelic body became a light beam that was flashed beside him. It picked the body up and took Johnson out of the portal beast ring. Johnson was coming out to see that a human and angel were just there. It could sense its master’s presence very quickly. The angelic body spoke like usual, “Protect my body, Johnson.” Johnson bowed to show that it understood what its master meant. Following that, its body started changing form. The multi-surfaced dimensional steel sphere on its body started spinning. A dimension was created, and it carefully placed its master’s body back in. Following that, the multi-surfaced steel spheres moved again and returned its body to full form. Following that, the ground and rocks beneath its legs started separating. Its body started shrinking towards the ground. As the stone giant, Johnson had a way to protect itself by merging it with the mountain. Because it was relying on this ability, Johnson was able to retain this form in this world. It was hiding Abel’s human body inside. After doing a scan with his angelic body, Abel became relieved to notice that he couldn’t feel that his human body was hidden inside Johnson. Abel began to take a flight. He started flying while wearing his invisibility hoodie. The mystic headband was doubling the strength of his power of the Will. There was not much of a difference between his angelic body and the destination. It was just one kilometer. Combined with the buff of the mystic headband, there were only 2000 meters of distance. It all had to do with the fact that his angelic body had just commenced training. He was really starting to understand how sturdy this body was. The maximum reach of his human body was 1500 meters, and that was only because he had been training his wizard class, alchemy class, and many other classes to get there. He also had to be very lucky in a lot of situations to make that kind of progress. The more he believed his body would get stronger, the further he noticed that the power of the Will would only go further. As he took on his hoodie, Abel’s angelic body disappeared in midair. Once he left the intermediate-sized seclusion circle, he immediately felt more akin to the world that he was in. He could feel that his entire being was merging with this world that he was in. He couldn’t increase his attacking power here, but he did receive a lot of advantages because of it. For instance, he could put himself under disguise as well as when he was switching his transformation necklace on. Abel started flying in the air in a very relaxed manner. He was also moving the wings behind him to make him go faster. No, he didn’t have a complete map of the Nation of God, but once he passed through the worship passageway of his follower, he began to learn more about the Nation of God. He was also starting to get a better idea of where the Central Temple was situated. After flying for an entire hour, his extraordinary speed got him to see a grand temple that was in front of him. Abel passed through the shadow of the crystal angelic statue and connected to that one particular follower. The Saint didn’t think it would take too long to visit all ten of them. Abel looked towards the temple and completely withdrew his power of the Will. He noticed how dangerous the temple was. There had to be someone powerful residing inside. He might just surpass legendary figures, even. Yes, it was quite strange. The powerful figure inside was making Abel worried, but the temple itself was making him very comfortable. Slowly and steadily, he lowered his body. He didn’t want to be detected. Regular figures wouldn’t notice, but any powerful figures would just tell immediately. Slowly. Slowly. Slowly. Abel got closer towards the temple. He was starting to notice that this was his home. He knew that it probably had to do with this crystal angelic statue. His body was now under the control of the druid spirit, so naturally, there wouldn’t be a concern that his body would just lose control. As soon as Abel got close to the temple, he could feel a defensive barrier that was extremely firm. It was constructed with divine power, and all creatures without its acknowledgment were forbidden to get in. The angelic body was an exception.

Chapter 1174 - Going In Chapter 1174: Going In Abel’s body ignored the defensive barrier. He slowly passed through it. When he passed through it, his movements were very slow, but he made extra preparations to see if he could escape immediately. He was not sure that merging with the environment would be enough to trick the guardians of the temple, but he felt like he should take the risk. The temple was very important to him for reasons he wasn’t sure of. His legs did not land the whole time. His body was invisible. His angelic body passed through the temple like a phantom, slowly and steadily. The very first challenge appeared in front of him. The temple door was completely shut. There was a large metal door in front of him. The upper half had an engraving depicting the wonders of heaven and the lower half depicted how terrible and vile the conventional world was. It was a very strong contrast. Everything in heaven was wonderful—wealth, power, beauty none of that mattered. All that remained was pure faith in the divine spirit. Some strange words were written on the door. The font belonged to heaven. Since he received the angelic heritage already, he had started to notice them. “Eternal life to those who believe me!” Whether one could read the words or not, they felt sacred. Abel was not sure what to do here. This was a door that was several tens of meters tall. It would be impossible to open this without passing the detection of the ones inside. “There has to be more than one entrance!” Abel thought back to the information he received from his preachers. Although the temple designs he got were nowhere as grand as the one he was looking at, the structure was somewhat similar. Slowly and steadily, he flew somewhere higher and saw a window that was built to show the sunlight inside. To ensure that the sunlight could better pass through the window and into the temple, no physical structures were installed to block the outermost barriers. Still, not only could this serve as a defensive layer, but it also protected against the elements so that the structure maintained optimal conditions. Of course, that was not all there was to this window. There was a strange circle that could project a rainbow-colored barrier on the temple. The sunlight could be filterd into different colors, making the castle seem more sacred. Abel easily passed through the window. He moved so that not even the sunlight affected him. There was no sound, either. While inside the temple, he felt like his senses got stronger. He felt like he had full control over this place, but he didn’t want to extend his power of Will. Slowly and carefully, he went down from the topmost part of the temple. He was just realizing that he was inside the main hallroom. Abel looked in the direction of the temple. Apart from that direction, everyone else was where the followers prayed. The altar was definitely the most crucial spot. It seemed that the representative, the Saint, was not inside at all. There was no one inside, so it seemed even quieter. Still, he could sense murderous intent from everywhere. As soon as he went down to fly to the altar, he very quickly faced three streaks of the scanning circle. If not for the angelic body he was using, the alarm siren they might have found him already. Abel came to the altar and saw a statue that was placed on top. The worship power that it contained made him feel like he was looking directly at the sun. He wanted to touch it, but he didn’t do it. The worship power container was too scary for him to actually try. He didn’t want something to happen to his hand. Actually, he didn’t want something to happen inside the temple. Still, Abel could realize that his eyes were attracted by a crystal body that was formed right underneath the statue. If the worship power was just like a mist, this tiny crystal body would’ve been like a diamond. Although their quality was the same, their value was different. Very carefully, Abel flew beneath the angelic statue and picked up the crystal body. His breath stopped as soon as he did. He didn’t want something to happen because of what he did. Still, he didn’t think that powerful figures would just switch on their power of the Will to spy on the whole temple. That would definitely cost too much energy. Also, the whole place was already defended with mechanisms powered up by divine power. If the divine spirits were here, there just wouldn’t be any way to go in silent. Basically, Abel was getting too worried about the existence of any danger. If he wasn’t triggering the alarm or letting someone see him, he might just go unscathed. Actually, he was definitely getting excessively worried about the crystal body in his hands. A tremendous amount of divine power was already contained. Abel thought back to all the guesses regarding every time he attacked the Nation of God. The Nation of God already activated the “divine crystal” to allow this to happen. Yes, “divine crystal.” That was the first thought that came to him. As the divine crystal was not fully formed yet. It made him capable of feeling the divine crystal more. The interior of the divine crystal was completely made of divine power, which was structured in a very unique manner that the stone looked like a very pure jewel. Abel thought that this was the key to defending the central continent from the Nation of God. The Nation of God must’ve activated the “divine crystal” to allow all this to happen. After sensing the divine power that was solidifying inside the crystal body, Abel quickly thought of the divine crystal. As the divine crystal was not fully formed, he could now better sense what was going on inside. The interior was made completely out of divine power, which was a crystal body on its own. Unlike the worship power that was on the divine statue, the worship power on the statue seemed to be clearly infused with the messages of the spirits. It was like a power source for public use. Anyone that had access was free to activate it. Abel would know that the divine crystal could restrict the power of dimension, but honestly, he didn’t know what the exact method for making it happen was. Whatever the case, he understood that the divine crystal was an absolute treasure. He didn’t feel that the crystal could do any good to him, but if he could get more chances, he would just obtain more of the divine crystals. After doing some inspections around the temple, Abel felt like there was nothing more to gain. Every item here was infused with worship power, even the tables, chairs, and shelves. Everything was made to be only of the best quality. The most important thing would stay inside the temple area so that no commoners would lay their hands on them. Abel didn’t touch these things. No one was probably going to say anything if the divine crystal was just gone, but if an item went missing, even the servants would be shocked. Abel looked towards a wooden door that was on one side of the divine temple. It was the entrance for the staff members to leave the temple. He thought that there might be something good inside. He was starting to get very worried. He was not sure if he could use his power of the Will here. His senses might just be suppressed, so it was really starting to get inconvenient. He began by putting the divine crystal away, and then flew towards the front of the wooden door. There was no handle on the wooden door. The only thing was a verification circle. After seeing this, he wanted to break the door. Still, he tried to think of it as his new home. He placed his hand on the verification circle, and before it was opened, he was quick to notice what was going on inside. Along with the inside structure and the operation system of the circle, he noticed that he was gaining control over the whole system. It felt like he was inside his own magic tower, where all the systems and circles installed were free for him to command. Abel’s conscience moved a bit on its own. The verification circle stopped activating, and the wooden door were just about to be opened. He was starting to feel something. If he could unleash his power of the Will, he might just be able to control everything that was here. He wouldn’t do this unless he felt the absolute need to. Things were doing fine just now. He was sneaking in to look through the things he wanted. If he could leave quietly, that would be the ideal. Once the wooden door was opened, his body passed through and allowed the door to shut on its own. Behind the door, he realized this was where the temple higher-ups lived. He could see that on the two ends were wide and large doors. A preacher wearing a white robe just came out. If this same preacher earlier, he might just see the wooden door opening and closing on its own. Without taking too much time to observe, Abel could see that the preacher was at least an advanced sacred knight. Just from looking at the life presence he was emitting, he could tell that he was not too old at all. This preacher was probably a prodigy as a knight. This preacher held a book in his hand. His steps were fast and steady as he walked towards the deeper part of the walkway. Abel’s eyes quickly shone and followed behind. The preacher had no idea an angel was tailing him. Even if the angelic body was not merging with the world, the legendary rank strength would just suffice for a perfect disguise. After walking not so far, the preacher turned at a corner of the walkway and continued walking. Abel followed quickly and saw that the preacher was passing through an outdoor walkway into the side building of the temple. He was very satisfied. If he was to find it slowly himself, he was sure that it’d take a lot more time to find it. The main building of the temple was used to spread the faith. There weren’t be a lot of important facilities in the same location. Still, the size of the place was making it quite difficult to map out the right location. The preacher walked towards the door and pressed his hand on it. He walked in as soon as the door was opened. He looked around and quickly saw that two advanced sacred knights were guarding the place. He knew that there was something important there. In fact, the temple had these two sacred knights there just to have no trespassers coming through. These men didn’t have to be very strong. They were no different to mad knights, actually. As long as the siren was on, the entire defensive mechanism of the temple would just open and made it impossible for an escape. That being said, having anyone guarding this place was really more to do with sending warnings and reminding that only the privileged could be here. Naturally, the only ones that could be here had very high status. Abel was floating in the air as he went past the two sacred knights. He could see that these knights were doing their jobs very well. Their eyes were focused the entire time, and they would be drawing their power of the Will out to make sure that the entrance was tightly sealed. That wouldn’t do much to detect Abel’s angelic body, though, so when Abel passed through, he was not triggering any reaction whatsoever. Of course, Abel would still have his eyes focused the entire time. He would never underestimate his enemies. His attention was be highly focused on the advanced knights, and as long as the divine conscience remained open, he was sure that there wouldn’t be any difference in level whatsoever. Yes, he knew how sensitive divine conscience was. He was not unleashing his murderous intent, which was how he got over the radar. After going along the passageway, Abel could see that this was pretty much an underground tunnel. He would be going further down very easily. He quickly found that circle runes were drawn all over the staircases. He didn’t think that these would be so easy to step on. His guess was right. There was a defensive barrier and a scanning circle. The amount of defence put here was ridiculous, and it made him even more certain that some treasure was buried. Once he went further downward, he could see that there was another metallic door. It had the same material as when he was passing through the giant door. He was pretty experienced this time, now. He placed his hand on the metallic door. It was immediately shutting down the verification circle on the metallic door and switching on the metallic door. Fearing that some sound would be there when the door was opened, he continued to place his hand on it. The terrifying power was starting to do something. His one hand was holding all the weight, but when the door was opened, there was no friction between it and the ground. A lot of muscle control must go into that, that was for sure. Abel wouldn’t get this right all the time, but the Central Temple was unlike anywhere else. Here, his senses and power were both buffed to a great extent, and his physical strength was also enhanced to the point that it was very easy for him to do this.

Chapter 1175 - Harvest Chapter 1175: Harvest Abel was starting to get an idea of how buildings were made in this world. It was the same whether it was on the Nation of God or the Central Continent. It was all the same. For the Nation of God, there was the heritage of the demon from beyond, but that alone was not enough to contain all knowledge. Most of what was known here remained in this world, like the underground dimension that they were looking at. Most of this could resemble many of what Abel saw. Abel was just looking at the underground space. He could roughly make a guess of how some of the places worked. The large stone door, for example. There were spell runes all over that. That should be where the warehouse of the temple was. At a further spot, there was a sign that clearly stated to not trespass. It should be the control room of the temple. If there was a spirit there, that would be the place the spirit that was supposed to take care of in the temple. There were a lot more rooms that Abel didn’t have to look in-depth himself. He could just feel that danger was close by. Powerful figures were staying in them. He didn’t know about what the other rooms were for, but his guess was that they were all quite important in their own way. He didn’t doubt that since he knew that the Saint made preparations to be able to return here no matter how far he went out. No, Abel didn’t want to face the Saint here. He didn’t want to fight when the environment was against him. The Saint returned with many other powerful figures. The appearance made Abel more cautious. Abel’s first target was the control room. He knew that if he was getting rid of that, he would be reducing a lot of trouble. He quickly flew towards that. Before he passed through the main door, he greedily took a look at the warehouse. He wanted to make sure that he was doing some scavenging after he took care of it. In front of the operation room door, Abel placed his hand right on the door and quickly understood the situation. He was also getting control over the door. He looked left and right for a bit. He didn’t realize that anyone was moving underground. He immediately opened the gate and dashed inside. He was surprised to see that it wasn’t actually an operation room. He wasn’t sure what it was, but if he had to guess, it might be something of a display room. Only a longsword and a shield were displayed. On the other side of the room, there was a shadow of the angelic wings. Around them were plenty of spell circles to contain it. Abel felt very moved by that. He figured that this must be something important. With that in mind, he immediately flew towards the sword and shield, towards the defensive circles that were nearby. They would be triggered if threats were detected, but his angelic body was just passing through like nothing. Abel seemed quite used to this now. He went inside the spell circle and felt a lot closer to the weapons he was encountering. He immediately understood what these weapons were for. The essence that was emitted was the exact same as the divine armor that he got. This was the sword and shield that the demon from beyond used. These were the weapons of an angel! Abel reached his hand out and grabbed onto a longsword. The blade shook slightly on its own as though it was saying hello to him. He guessed that it might have something to do with the crystal angelic statue. The statue originated from a soul fragment. From his estimations, this soul fragment might’ve just originated from the demon from beyond. This was only his guess, however. He wouldn’t know what would actually happen unless the demon from beyond was there. In any case, the divine longsword was already treating him as the master. He was grabbing onto it, and strangely enough, he didn’t feel any weight. He then grabbed onto the shield. The shield also felt as light as a feather. Abel didn’t spend much time here to do any inspection, however. The environment here was already quite dangerous, and he didn’t want to unleash his power of Will until he was sure that he was safe. No, he didn’t want to overwrite the ownership circle here. He didn’t want to lock these weapons with his druid spirit. He wanted them to be claimed by his main spirit, so when the demon from beyond woke up, they would still stay in his collection. The shadows of the angelic wings felt very intimate to him, even more, intimate than the longsword and divine shield. They were like his extended limbs. Abel got closer to the angelic wing shadows. Very quickly, he could feel the joy that was emitted out of a spirit. Abel was shocked. He never thought that this was a spirit. It was very clear that the angelic wings were trying to convey happiness to him. It was also sending a message to him in the language of the angels. Only the spirits would own this, at the very least in this world. Abel took the time to look around this room. He thought that this was an operation room, but then he realized that he got it wrong. Come to think of it. However, this room was probably no more than that. It was just that the spirit was too special. Abel was even considering taking it away in case something were to happen. Before that, however, he went ahead to look at the divine longsword and divine shield once more. Since he already got what he went here for, he decided that he might as well give it a try before he was to leave. The temple wasn’t going to stop him, he thought. If he was to be found out, Abel could always unleash his power of the Will and make the entire temple to help himself. While Abel was reaching towards the angelic wing shadow, he was starting to realize that the shadow was flying towards him on its own. He wanted to escape out of instinct, but he realized that the shadow was just flying right behind him as soon as it got close to him. It was like a pair of wings was just attached to him. It consisted of a tremendous amount of energy. His angelic body was just backed with a huge load of energy. He didn’t understand it very well himself, so he basically became an angel with two pairs of wings. As a matter of fact, this pair of wings became guardian wings after the demon from beyond used the super spells. It was protecting the entire Nation of God, and he just left the last bit inside the temple. As far as the demon from beyond was concerned, if it could use the faith inside the temple for self-recovery, it might just become a four-winged angel as soon as it was recovered to full health. Of course, it wasn’t confident in doing that, but Abel was a lucky. He just got the jackpot to become a four-winged angel. As long as a four-winged angel appeared, that would mean that the angel would just not lose any energy during combat. Its attacking power and defensive power would also be multiplied. Abel didn’t care too much about that. It would take time to perform the transformation of angelic wings, and even if it worked, there would still not be enough of a speed boat. The wings were pretty much just for the base to become firmer so that his attack, defense, and recovery could all be enhanced. It was not possible to just gain the fruit of years of training in one step. The process was a lot faster than that. Abel’s body was–if he was to compare it to something in his previous life–a nuclear bomb. As deadly as it sounded, he didn’t have the “passcode” to detonate it, so the most he could do was to just use it as a metal sphere to hit people. This was pretty much his situation right now. Even now, he still couldn’t use light power for long-range attacks, and it wouldn’t matter how strong an attack would be if you couldn’t hit your target. It would be better if you’re facing a melee class, but if you were to face someone with long-distance attacks, the results might’ve been a lot more different. The sacred knights would have an advantage, in this regard, as they would have the spiritual qi light rings to take an entire field to themselves. This was precisely what Abel lacked. There was still a long path before he could really fully cultivate his angelic body. The angelic body spirit went behind him very quickly. This was the wing pair of a truly powerful angelic. It possessed abilities that were completely different from the ones that had formed on him recently. Before, he was always relying on the calculating ability of the world stone fragment so he could move at the highest precision that he could. However, since his angelic body was controlled by his druid spirit, once the main body was put somewhere else, his control was weakened tremendously since his control power was greatly reduced. Although inside the Nation of God, all the buffs were increasing his control power, this was nothing but a temporary state he was putting himself in. Once he left the Nation of God to fight somewhere else, especially in the dark world, this would just not work whatsoever. The new angelic wings were just adding something to calculate all the attacks possible to be launched within range. The exact angle, distance, and force were all calculated so an optimal amount of damage could deal an optimal amount of cost. Abel lightly waved his arm around. The combined force of his angelic wings and his druid spirit made it possible for something unseen to happen. This was unlike the effect of the world stone fragment. This was the digitalization ability, and it was discovered along with his acute vision ability. However, he didn’t take too much time to test out what abilities were granted to his angelic wings. Actually, he just had the illusion that his angelic wings might just be some kind of spirit. It did possess some of the abilities a spirit would have. It was just stronger than ordinary spirits. Abel let out a long sigh as he looked towards the empty room. Nothing accidental happened the entire time. He was not discovered by the temple at all. His next target was the warehouse. That was his very last target. He thought that harvesting the two most important locations of the temple was enough to satisfy him. Slowly and carefully, he opened the gate to the operation room. He was lucky enough to not have anyone in the scene. Immediately, he dashed out of the operating room and kept the door shut. He then flew to the front of the warehouse gate. These were two giant metallic doors that were very easy to open on their own. Still, if he didn’t want to terrify anyone else, he would have to carry the weight up and open the gate. He did this already before, but the last one he tried was just too different in size. Abel reached out his hands and grabbed the door. Inside were all kinds of circles shutting down immediately. The weight of the gates was several tons. The strength of the angelic body was already surpassing that of a melee legendary figure. The weight was still as light as it could be inside his hands. Once the warehouse gate was opened, Abel went ahead to close it down slowly, so he had the time to look at what was inside. His gaze was immediately attracted by the shiniest items. He wasn’t interested in looking for anything else anymore. At the very least, for now, all his attention was on the items that were flashing in light. In the middle of the warehouse, there was a golden box with no handle. Inside were flashing items. They were holy crystals. Abel got the number very quickly with his angelic wings. There were 5362 in total holy crystals. Very excitedly, he picked up one of the holy crystals. It was not like some half-done work he got from the statue location. The surface was as tough as it could get, with golden lights shining from all kinds of surfaces. The holy crystal was like a piece of art. Compared to that top-level gemstone, he could actually just throw it away. For now, he was putting the holy crystal inside the golden box and putting on the lid. It was to go inside his angelic dimension. What he didn’t know was that, actually, the holy crystal was just another currency of its own. This was the type that was only used at the highest level. Not just Abel, actually. Most of the legendary figures would say that they didn’t have this type of currency. In truth, all the holy crystals here were stored by the temple for the last several thousand years. Every time the crystals were used, the Saint would slowly, carefully make sure that he was not wasting any of the holy crystals. It was the temple that created the holy crystals and stored them there. Still, only the Saint had an obligation to keep these crystals, and using them was processed by an application to the guardian wings. Right now, there were 5362 holy crystals put right here. They were not just the product of the central temple. Here they would contain everything that was produced by the 18 temples. They were but a fraction of what was stored up inside the entire Nation of God. For the past few thousand years, apart from supplying the guardian wings energy to make up for all kinds of expenses, all the remaining faith would be converted into these holy crystals.

Chapter 1176 - Being Found Chapter 1176: Being Found Abel was quite satisfied with the number of holy crystals he collected. After he picked up all 5362 of them, he began to take a look at the other items inside the warehouse. The most he saw was a white potion that he didn’t remember ever seeing before. He could tell just from the number, 2000 bottles approximately, that this must be something very important. He went ahead and opened one bottle. He sniffed what was inside for a bit and immediately felt a sacred power coming over him. It was quite strange. He wasn’t sure what the brewing procedure was done to merge this sacred power into the brew. Or, there was something that was inside. His grandmaster alchemist rune could easily make a call that this brew did not belong to the system of this world. It was not of the dark world, either. If he had to tell, this must’ve come from the heavens. Of course, he was really just guessing. He could only start to understand what these potions were for until he got a full grasp of the angelic heritage. He was sure of one thing. This had to be a supplementary potion for the sacred knights. Regular knights couldn’t afford it so it was stored here? For a potion here that could boost the fighting power of the sacred knights, he was sure that he was going to take all of them. He could use them for himself and his contract creatures. After putting 2000 or more bottles in, he then looked towards the other items. He didn’t bother to look over towards the sacred knight equipment, as the best that was available was just golden quality. There were also too many to fit into his angelic body’s portal bag. He would’ve picked up all of them if he had his divine portal bag, but he just didn’t have it. Also, he didn’t have the time to slowly examine this equipment. He just didn’t think that this equipment could match his rune equipment. With that in mind, he gave up on the idea of dropping his sacred knight equipment. He quickly looked towards the side and saw that there were about 100 magic items for self-protection. Most of them were necklaces, rings, or wrist bands. He was quite familiar with most of them. Most of the defensive magic items here had to be absolutely one-of-a-kind. Most of them could generate barriers that could block against at least one attack coming from advanced level class holders. This had to be quite rare in terms of the standard on the central continent. Abel went ahead and saw some scrape marks on the items. These marks didn’t affect the magic items from functioning. If anything, they made it easier for him to tell where these originated from. From his estimation, they had to be items that were worn on the frontline. The temple probably collected them just to make themselves look better in the eyes of the public. This was even more evident when these items were placed together with the wizard cloaks and wizard staff. Abel twitched his eyes for a bit. He had no use for these things, but he could tell that they served as very fine materials for his family wizards or for his trading business. After touching them, he quickly placed all the wizard items into his portal bag. The warehouse was probably just a miniature version of the storage keep. This would make sense, as only the rare items were here. Inside his angelic portal bag, there were already some items he could prepare in advance. Although there was some space that was left, he was just not going to stuff more things into the space that was left. He didn’t want extra stuff anyway. Also, it was getting quite late, so he wanted to leave. He didn’t want to be too greedy, so he immediately flew towards the gate again. He placed his hands on it and shut down all the circles. The gate was also pushed open. While he was out, he took the effort to look towards a fanatic knight that was watching the gate in awe. He wasn’t sure what was happening. From his angle, it seemed like the fanatic knight was staring right towards him. On second thought, he thought that it was impossible since he was in invisibility mode. Instead of shutting the gate, he decided to just leave the place as quickly as he could. Just after Abel flew out of the warehouse, the mad knight quickly noticed that something was wrong. The mad knight rushed towards the warehouse and saw that some of the spaces were empty. The most obvious spot was the center, where the box storing the holy crystals was. He started screaming out of control, “What… Someone get here! The warehouse!” While he was screaming, a strange power of the Will started flooding towards the warehouse. After searching for a bit, the power of the Will immediately rose. It was quickly dispersed and swept through the entire temple. Abel was flying straight towards the middle of the temple. He didn’t want to stay quiet anymore. He tried his best to suppress his flight time. He wanted to keep his voice to the minimum while bursting out as quickly as he could. While he was flying towards the window, the power of the Will dispersed, and quickly found the track he left. It started chasing after him. It was meant to be strong enough to immobilize a legendary figure on contact. Abel didn’t feel a thing. His angelic body was too strong for him to be moved slightly. Abel decided that he shouldn’t hide his power of Will anymore. He started activating it and rushed towards his sides. He realized that the new wings were bringing change to his power of the Will capacity. It was increased by twice fold, actually. Combined with the buff effect of the mystic headband, his total reach was extended to a total of 4000 meters. Still, Abel could feel how powerful the incoming force was. He didn’t think that he could just neutralize it, but it was the same vice versa. The power of the Will chasing after him was mostly for finding his location. If there was anything that was planned to actually attack him, it would be the figure that was dashing towards him from the underground basement. It was an old man who was activating the “dash” ability. Neither of his legs was on the ground as he was doing this. The flight speed was as shocking as it could be. He didn’t even slow down as he was making turns. From estimation, there should be at least two seconds until he was inside the temple. Abel still sneered at the sight of him. He thought that he had been underestimated. He didn’t think that one man could hunt him down so easily, and it was really funny to him that there were still plenty of powerful figures inside the basement that were still continuing with their training. So that’s how they dealt with a thief. It would make sense, given that thieves had to sneak in instead of fighting the ones that lived inside. These powerful figures had their own ways of dealing with intruders, and that was to not overreact to someone who was just here to commit theft. To their blunder, however, while Abel was not yet enough to match their levels, this was the temple of the demon from beyond. As it stood, Abel did have the druid spirit to form a connection with the soul of the demon from beyond, and he could control the temple like a wizard could to his own magic tower. Under the control of Abel’s power of the Will, the elder that was rushing over was suddenly blocked by a defensive barrier. As the barrier was emerging too suddenly, his body was heavily slammed onto the barrier. The impact rebounded back enough to inflict some minor wounds. Of course, it wasn’t too bad of a wound, but the elder was still pretty surprised that a defensive barrier was enough to stop him. The guardian wings were supposed to take care of the thief. Now it looked like it was hitting him indiscriminately. The elder screamed, “Something’s off! Come and help, you!” Some of the other men training in the basement opened their eyes and rushed towards their own rooms. Here in the central temple, everything was supposed to be done on a roster. One would be on post while the others focused on their training. When the elder screamed, everyone who was still continuing with their training began going out. Yes, they were also stopped by the defensive barrier. Although the defensive barrier was infused with some faith power, to them, the barrier was as thin as a paper wall. Or so they thought. They began to realize that every step they took was still slowed down to a great extent, if not stopped. Abel noticed that things were really starting to get dangerous when he saw this many powerful figures. He knew he had to leave. His body flew towards the window was, but before he left, his power of the WIll swept through the angelic statue. He thought to himself maybe it was possible to get his hands on it. He wasn’t trying before because he didn’t want the guards to notice. Yes, the angelic statue was not supposed to be taken away very easily. It was almost like it was supposed to be formed completely as one with the temple. Still, if it was the owner of the temple, it wouldn’t be a hard job at all to take the statue away. This was pretty much like what Abel was doing. As long as he had his power of the Will, the statue just flew up and was put into his angelic portal bag. Meanwhile, Abel’s body was rushing towards the window without activating the window. Once he was out, he could realize that a tremendous amount of power of the Will was activated from the temple. Inside was one that was almost completely merging with the temple. He began to understand very quickly, “The Saint is back!” He immediately accelerated and left a drop of blood from his hand. The four wings on his back ignited very quickly. It was almost like his body was being burnt by the air around him. He realized that his body was probably piercing through the sound circle for this to happen. Even if he had the invisibility hoodie on him, he would still not be able to hide his tracks. He was leaving a track after his flight. Most people couldn’t see through it very easily, but it was very obvious for powerful figures. the Saint was just turning from the frontline to the central temple. He just finished boosting his mens’ morale. For a very long time, the ten battle forts belonging to the resource point were supposed to become barriers for the Nation of God. the Saint was not in a good mood. He just saw the Wizard Union building battle forts that matched theirs. They were even defensive walls built in between to form a connection. This was almost like blocking the connection between them and the frontline. Once these walls were built, the frontline would lose all connection with the Nation of God. The resources on the frontline would make the Wizard Union even more powerful so that more war machines and defensive mechanisms would be installed. Things were not looking good for the Nation of God. Once the Saint appeared from the teleportation circle of the central temple, he realized that something strange was happening. There was a fight taking place right inside the temple. He immediately unleashed his power of Will when he realized this. As the representative of the demon from beyond, he had every obligation to make sure that everything inside the temple was under his control. Many of the powerful guardians inside the temple were still attacking the barrier that was blocking. After they were done, they began rushing towards the hallroom. the Saint didn’t know what was happening, but he still went ahead and shut down those barriers. He didn’t know why there were so many barriers switched up. Maybe the enemies were coming to the temple. Having thought about that, his power of the Will was immediately connected to the temple. He began making inquiries about what was happening to the temple. His expression solidified as soon as he noticed what was happening. The Saint screamed angrily, “Where is the figure of my lord?” His voice was then spreading through all the circles inside the temple. Everyone was starting to understand that something major happened.

Chapter 1177 - Taking The Blame Chapter 1177: Taking the Blame The Saint was just about to calm himself down. The few powerful figures were already rushing towards the main hall towards the outside. He, too, began to switch on the scanning circle of the temple. He looked around and could see that the scanning circle was very powerful. Within 50 miles of reach inside the temple, nothing that was moving could escape the scan of the scanning circle. Still, he could see what was strange within the sky very quickly. There was a very strange airflow. There seemed to be something that was flying. However, he didn’t see anything that was inside his circle. The most concrete proof he could get was a line of air that was just piercing through. The Saint had no ways of confirming, though. It was too fast to make sense of. Everyone began to chase after it. The powerful figures, especially, were doing their best to catch up, but the invisible, flying object was just too fast. The Saint didn’t let anyone return. He needed to pass through the guardian wings to realize what was happening. At the same time, he needed to pass through the guardian wings to help with the search. The Saint asked the guardian wings, “Search for anything alive that’s going inside the temple!” The guardian wings quickly replied, “There has been no sightings of anyone going in, the Saint.” The Saint was not sure what to think. The statue was already stolen, but the wings told him the opposite. The guardian wings didn’t have the ability to lie, so he was even starting to suspect that the message was an indication of betrayal. He asked a different question, “What caused this trace in the air?” The guardian wings replied, “Nothing alive caused it.” The Saint just realized how severe the situation was. He used to think that the guardian wings’ reach was perfect, but he was stolen from just like that. He couldn’t do anything about it. He didn’t even search the air. He got nothing else, however, since he couldn’t make it. One sacred knight charged in front of the Saint, “There was a theif in the warehouse, the Saint.” The Saint was extraordinarily frightened. He connected his power of the Will with the temple once more and went towards the warehouse. Very quickly, he could see that a lot of stuff went missing. The holy crystals, especially, were all gone. He felt distraught because of this. This had to be one of the biggest financial losses that happened to the Nation of God. He prepared those holy crystals for the divine spirits. He did another scan with his power of the Will. He searched for the underground basement and found something new. The divine sword, divine shield, and guardian wings were all gone. All of a sudden, blood started gushing out of the Saint’s mouth. It dyed his extravagant robe and the ground red. He murmured to himself, “How do I tell my lord?” His eyes were filled with doubt. He had a feeling that this was all just a dream, something like a nightmare. “What happened to you, Master?” After a few screams, he became a lot more awake, but this meant that all this was real. The Saint shouted with his bloodshot eyes, “Search for me! I need to know who did this! As long as I know who did this, we’ll use the entire state’s power to make him pay the cost!” No one knew where to start, but after seeing the Saint’s state, they had no choice but to bow and begin the search. After calling everyone away, the Saint started feeling a lot calmer. He then began to think about what happened today. First of all, the most important thing to consider would be the timing of this thief. It was just right as he left the temple. If he were still inside the temple, then the chance of the thief entering would be quite low. Another thing to consider was the extent to which the thief could move at high mobility and invisibility. He had tp be better than ordinary powerful figures to achieve this. All these things could basically make the range a lot narrower. As for whether the thief was a competent fighter, the Saint wasn’t sure that he was to act like this, but as long as he could make a rough guess, he could make a better analysis somewhat. Before that, however, he needed to put back the two divine items with his guardian wings. Those were not so easy to be stolen, actually. They were all forged by the divine spirits, so they could also be withdrawn the moment they were summoned. The Saint contacted the guardian wings, “Call my lord’s guardian wings! I want the two weapons back” The guardian wings unleashed a ripple. After waiting for tens of seconds, he realized that nothing was happening. The guardian wings’ response was not a good one, “They cannot be returned.” A sacred knight was just rushing in with a bottle containing a drop of blood, “We’ve discovered a drop of blood, Master.” “Bring it to me.” While the Saint reached for the bottle, he began to see that there was a drop of blood inside. He was immediately sure that this was a drop of divine blood. Now, the important question was whether the blood flew down from that thief’s body. Could it be that the thief was injured during infiltration, by any chance? Or, could it be that he was using the blood as some sort of catalyst? The Saint wasn’t entirely sure, but he was already plenty certain that this thief was some sort of divine spirit. Which really made sense in a way. Only divine spirit could be inside the Nation of God. He wasn’t sure what kind would try to infiltrate like this into the temple of another one, actually. Most divine spirit temples weren’t supposed to be like this. The difference in divine power was not something that could be messed around. Also, the expenditure of energy for going after one temple was already quite tremendous, such that going in to steal one divine item was said to be virtually impossible. Inside Abel’s mind, he was already thinking back to all the information he knew about the divine spirit. As a matter of fact, for potential enemies of the demon from beyond, it was a top priority for the Nation of God’s intelligence agency to get whatever they could. From the central continent to the subcontinent, with all kinds of methods, the intelligence agency had been spending thousands of years trying to locate any information they could get on the divine spirit. As all the information was going back, the Saint was already gaining some understanding with the divine spirit. “The god of theft?” Abel thought of the name of one divine spIrit. The god of theft was a very timid spirit who was very capable of disguise and theft. He disappeared after that fight with the Wizard Union against the demon from beyond, but the Saint knew very well that he was still out there somewhere. The god of theft had to be out there somewhere to get so many believers of his own. He virtually had no other way of getting more powerful on his own. At the same time, it was pretty much impossible for the followers to be completely eradicated on their own. As long as burglary and theft remained a thing, there would always be thieves screaming “bless the god of theft” while they continued with their work. The god of theft was a pretty bizarre spirit, in that sense. No matter how hard the Nation of God conducted their search, it was still impossible to find the whereabouts of this divine spirit. According to the analysis of the intelligence system, however, the god of theft could just never become a serious enemy to the Nation of God. This could be seen from the way he was acting the whole time. He was probably the kind to act on his own. Based on the observations that were made, it could be said that the god of theft was the most likely suspect here today. As a matter of fact, the “divine blood” was exactly what Wizard Dolan passed over. From his perspective, this was no different from blood that was new. Only a grandmaster alchemist like Abel, really, could be capable of telling where the difference was. As it stood, this drop of the divine blood was pretty useless to either Abel and Wizard zdolan. Abel just left it as a decoy to influence the decision of his pursuers. To be honest, no matter how much the Nation of God was trying to think of a rational method to discern his identity, he was already pretty certain that they were going to label him as a divine spirit. Under these circumstances, it was already pretty clear that he was already safe. The Saint cried out loudly, “Call out the intelligence system. I want you to find everything there is about the god of theft. Bring him out of the central continent.” The more he thought about it, the more he was sure that it was the god of theft. The motives matched. So did the capabilities of the god of theft. The god of theft didn’t possess that much divine power, to begin with. The holy crystals had to be what he wanted the most, so if the god of theft wanted to use the holy crystals, he could always use that to boost his own powers. If the god of theft didn’t want to boost his own strength, the holy crystal could always be preserved or used to increase his longevity by another tens of thousands of years. In terms of the divine power, the more powerful a divine spirit was, the greater the need would be to use more of it. This was why many divine spirits lost their strength as soon as their followers decreased. Of course, some followers would be able to stay in the Nation of God for a bit longer. They would be more faithful than followers outside and could retain more faith power in the long run. While the dead ones could be revived, that would always come at even more cost of the divine power. Without enough divine power for the followers outside to replenish, the divine spirits would lose more and more divine spirits on their own. The process would take quite a while, of course. It was a long and arduous process for divine spirits to be weakened. If they remained asleep, it might take an eternity. If the Saint had to make an estimation of the invader’s strength, it’d be based on the fact that he could sneak his way into the central temple. This could not be the ordinary power of a regular divine spirit. Come to think of it, only divine spirits under the name of the god of theft could possess abilities like this. This wasn’t quite possible before, but as it stood, he understood that the god of theft had to accomplish something like that for this to happen. While the Saint started to believe that the god of the theft was the culprit, Abel was already flying far away. His power of the Will was not detecting the powerful figures chasing after him. He was already way ahead, so he slowed down for a bit and turned towards the valley from which he arrived. Some of the powerful figures behind spent a while and came over here. After looking at each other for a while, they shook their heads and turned back. Abel was quick when he made his way into the valley. He entered into the intermediate seclusion circle and summoned with his power of the Will. Johnson was just rising out of the underground. Following, the multi-surfaced metallic spheres on its body started moving and revealed Abel’s human body. The human body was just opening its eyes and doing a stretch. It waved towards the angelic body while the angelic body took out the divine sword and divine shield. He thought about changing the procedure. Otherwise, they wouldn’t know when the next time would be. He was feeling quite glad, actually. He thought that the temple had already forgotten about all this, so he stretched his power of the Will into the long sword, but he just couldn’t tell if he could make his way into the verification circle. He immediately slammed his head, but quickly realized that the druid spirit was already separated from the angelic body. The angelic body took a step forward. The power of the Will was going into the long sword, and it very quickly discovered the verification circle. Inside, a golden streak of the power of the Will was just inside. This had to be the message of the demon from beyond. The angelic body pulled the golden power of the Will for a bit. Although Abel considered it to be a pain, the angelic body was just pulling it out of the verification circle quite easily. Following that, under the guidance of the human body, one streak of the power of the Will was left amidst the verification circle. Almost instantly, the longsword changed its enemy, but Abel wasn’t preparing to leave it for the human body. In a sense, the angelic body was leaving some power of the Will to become somewhat of a secondary master, just in case. Under the same conditions, the human body was just retaining the highest order to keep the divine longsword so he could place the divine power of the Will at any time. This was so that the sword could not be taken away by the demon from beyond. Even if he wasn’t using it, he still wouldn’t want to get the demon from beyond to put the sword away. He needed to keep this and the shield away from the demon from beyond with all that he could.

Chapter 1178 - Divine Items Chapter 1178: Divine Items The angelic body withdrew the two divine items quickly. Abel didn’t bother checking. The entire Nation of God could be onto him right now. He didn’t know that the divine blood he threw away already diverted most of the attention away from him. No, he had no idea. As far as the Saint was concerned, he had to get as many men as he could to pose a threat to the god of theft. The god of theft was just too fast this time. He understood what speed was required to bypass the scanning circle installed at the central temple. He was not letting down his guard. Abel, on the other hand, knew his speed was a bluff. He could go as fast as he wanted running away, but if he were to engage in an actual fight, he didn’t think that he was going to last too long at all. Abel put his druid spirit back into his body, then had his angelic body inside his druid spirit. Next, he put away the large-sized seclusion and had Johnson back inside his portal beast ring. After that, he changed to the invisibility cloak that he retrieved. As soon as he had it on, under the buff of the mystic headband, his maximum reach with “instantaneous movement” was 3000 meters in total. Abel arrived back at the beach. After walking out of the defensive barrier of the guardian wings, he let out a long breath in relief. He was finally safe. As long as he was here, he would have no more concerns with the people after him at the Nation of God. That was because this was the territory of Kemble the golden dragon. After teleporting himself to the Firetooth Castle, Abel went full speed back to the golden castle. He knew that the teleportation circles were now under full control of the Wizard Union, so if he were to sneak in, he would have to go in with paths that he opened himself. He couldn’t even use the closest teleportation circle in the nearby city because he had too many secrets that he didn’t want the Wizard Union to know about. Just like that, Abel went quietly back inside the golden castle. Inside, nobody knew that the owner just went out for a trip to do something that would influence the fate of the entire continent. Abel went out of the Firetooth Castle and used the short distance teleportation circle to head back into the training room. As soon as he went in, he switched on all the defensive circles and seclusion circles that he had. After activating one “Town Teleportation Circle,” he used a teleportation portal to return to the dark world. Once he was back, he looked towards the Rogue’s Encampment and felt the immense control the divine spirit had. He was finally starting to relax. Once again, he called out the angelic body. The angelic body laughed at the human body, while the human body did the same in return. “Ha, ha ha ha ha!” Abel’s two bodies laughed out loudly. Perhaps neither the Wizard Union nor the central continent would ever learn about this. Abel took all the equipment that the demon from beyond used to have. There was the divine portal bag, something reserved for the Saint. There was also the divine armor, which Abel took from the Lance Continent. On a side note, the Wizard Union still had no idea that the Lance Continent was still decimated. It might take two years for them to hear the news. Meanwhile, Abel was just glad that he got the divine longsword and the divine shield. This made the demon from beyond a lot less frightening. The demon from beyond came alone from a different world. Abel stole everything that he could have brought. He took four divine items in total. Abel just gained the right to all of them. Even the ownership circles were now powered by his power of the Will. If the demon from beyond were to wake up now, that would affect his fighting power to a very devastating extent. Or so he thought. Even now, he still had no idea that it was actually the angelic wings that had the biggest influence on the demon’s fighting capabilities. If the demon from beyond was to obtain the angelic wings after its awakening, it could then just be promoted into a four-winged angel. That would mean that its strength would be double that of Abel’s angelic body. Thinking back, the Wizard Union had to organize all the strongest groups in the entire world to defeat the demon from beyond. If the demon from beyond were to return with, say, double the amount of fighting powers, it would take more than the entire world to make it sleep again. His angelic body put the divine longsword and the divine shield on the ground. Abel took his time to examine the two. The longsword was a standard forge accustomed to sacred knights. He was the owner of it already, but when he was holding it, it felt like 500 kg. This was already heavier than the heaviest weapon on the continent, so he figured that this must be something that the war puppet should be using. Still, since it was the same size as a normal sword, he thought that the material was very special in its own right. But, even as a grandmaster blacksmith, he didn’t know what it was made of. Stranger yet, Abel was the owner of the sword, but it was still so heavy. If he were an ordinary law-defying wizard, he wouldn’t even hold it now. He looked towards his angelic body to seek confirmation. The angelic body took a step forward and held it for him. It felt like a feather in the angelic body’s hand. Also, the abilities of a divine spirit were notifying him of the kind of trait this divine longsword possessed. Holy angelic sword Specialized weapon for angels Weight: 0 Cannot be destroyed Increased attack power 500% Increase attack speed 200% Increase damage to undead creatures by 500% After getting a good look at the traits of the longsword, Abel couldn’t help but twitch. These effects were not as strong as he liked, but they were all very practical in their own right. With a weight of 0 and an increased speed of 200%, the enemies might have trouble seeing the sword at all. That, with an increased attack power of 500%. That might kill everything with one hit. Of course, that’d be under the premise that the angelic body was close to the enemy, and that was no easy task when all the opponents above legendary were capable of flight. There was also the trait of “cannot be destroyed.” This holy angelic sword was indestructible in its own right. Finally, there was an increased 500% damage to undead creatures. It really reflected how good angels were at fighting against hell creatures. This could be observed from all the divine weapons that were manufactured. Abel was very satisfied with this new weapon, all in all. His angelic body just became a whole lot more frightening. He could fight anyone on the ground, just not those who were capable of flying in the air. After obtaining the angelic wings, the overall strength of the angelic body was doubled. It was the same for its light power attacks. After gaining the holy angelic sword, it was buffed five times over. The attack speed was doubled. Abel could scream with this in his hand, and if his enemies had any senses, they might not do anything at all. Still, for the time being, he was only planning to use his angelic body inside the dark world until his angelic body was fully matured. Once again, Abel picked up the divine shield and inspected it. Holy angelic shield Specialized shield for angels Weight: 0 Cannot be destroyed Defense: 2000 Increase all elemental resistance by 100% Increased damage by 400% +1000 defense against long-distance attack Recovery speed +100 The holy angelic shield inherited one special thing. It was just as light and the defensive capability was at a ridiculous 2000 points. This proved to be even more relevant when the shield itself was indestructible. In Abel’s estimation, attacks within 2000 points could be blocked very easily with this. Anything over that value could just be intercepted with the transfer effect. Actually, maybe that wasn’t even needed. The angelic body already possessed elemental resistance, so with increased resistance of 100%, it might just be able to neglect even the damage of ordinary law-defying wizards. The recovery speed was 100. Under this kind of circumstances, even if the defense were broken through, it would just regenerate itself. The divine armor, however, was not so impressive compared to the sword and shield. Abel was quite confused, but he figured that the sword and shield were just too strong for the armor to be of any relevance. For an angel like the demon from beyond, it was more important to develop his own followers. That was perfect for the divine armor. Abel laughed and held the holy angelic sword and holy angelic shield. He was wearing a “Tyrael power” on him, which, like his other gears, was indestructible. He wouldn’t have to ever worry about fixing gears for his angelic body. Abel then looked towards his other things. He didn’t think that he could get the magic items, magic cloaks, and the magic staff out. He couldn’t do it now, so he would have to wait at least a very, very long time. He knew how terrifying the intelligence network of the Nation of God was, so if he brought anything out, he would’ve been found out immediately. It would just be one legendary sacred knight after him if that were the case. It would be the entire military. Abel went ahead and dropped the angelic portal bag into his divine portal bag. A bit later, he would have to keep these things inside the portal bag. He then got 5362 holy crystals and some half-finished ones out. He knew how precious these were, but he really had no idea how to use them. His level was not high enough to learn about how important these resources were. He was just curious why his body had no change to the crystal. Perhaps the crystal did not affect him whatsoever. If it were related to the divine spirit, he would think quickly to himself and the Beamon giant beast. All this time, Doff received faith from the barbarians of the Battlesong Plateau. Most of the divine power would just go into the ancient totem. However, after all the transformation done to Doff, its body was still a lot stronger. Abel could tell very clearly as the master, so he always believed that he just needed some more time for Doff to eventually become a real divine spirit. When Abel opened his portal beast ring and did not call Doff out, he was just starting to understand how anxious Doff was getting. That was quite rare. Doff was always very simplistic in its emotions: love towards its master and anger towards its enemies. This was the first time that Abel felt that it was requesting something else so strongly. The holy crystals probably worked very well for it. He figured as much already. Well, as long as it was good for Doff, Abel was not going to spare too much of his holy crystals. That was even if he knew how rare these crystals were. He was in contact with a lot of powerful figures already. He had barely heard from any powerful figures about it. Doff was just jumping out of the portal beast ring. Its round eyes stared towards the holy crystals that were within the golden castle. As though suppressing its desires, it did not touch the divine crystals that were inside the box. Abel was happy to see this. As the supposed parent to Doff, he was very pleased to see that his supposed child understood restraint.

Chapter 1179 - Divine Figures Chapter 1179: Divine Figures Abel took one holy crystal out of the golden box. He threw it to Doff. Compared to the giant palm that Doff had, the crystal was like a tiny pebble. Doff carefully pinched the crystal with its two thick fingers. Then, it threw the crystals inside its mouth. Abel was watching the entire time. He quickly thought that everything Doff learned was actually from him. If he had to guess, Doff didn’t understand the correct way to use the holy crystals. Very quickly, he could see that a change happening to Doff. Divine power was injected right inside Doff’s body. It was just swarming quickly to change Doff’s body. Given the amount of faith that Doff was already receiving from the barbarians of the Battlecry Plateau. The result of this one crystal could just transform what those barbarians had been providing for the past few decades. Abel was just reminded of something. Doff didn’t learn how to obtain the holy crystals from him, but it did possess the instinctual drive to seek items that were beneficial to it. Usually, it would eat those things. If Abel had to guess, eating ten holy crystals would just transform Doff into a low-tier divine spirit. Still, Abel chose not to let Doff use the holy crystals so quickly. If Doff transformed too quickly, he would just not be able to let Doff fight on the central continent. In fact, he also lacked a good understanding of the divine spirit training system. During this time, he also needed to find a way for divine spirits to promote. Doff wasn’t so satisfied, but it still followed through the order and returned the portal beast ring. It was still daytime over on the central continent. Abel thought back over his experiences. The last battle trophy had to stay on the central continent for the effects to be tested. With that in mind, he had his angelic body withdraw and teleport back to the golden castle. This time, he was heading to the underground basement. This was where a room was supposed to be kept as a secret room. However, since it was not used initially, the space had been empty most of the time. Abel spoke to the circle spirit, “Seal this room up, circle spirit. Don’t let anyone teleport in!” He couldn’t let anyone see what he was about to do next. It was just him alone from this point. Following his command, the circle of lightning began to shine on the door. When the door and the circle connected, as long as the circle remained open, the door would just lose its effect entirely. For the door to be broken through, the entire golden castle would just be suppressed and attacked. Meanwhile, the defensive circle of this door would be connected to the defensive circle of the entire golden castle. Once that happened, even a divine spirit would have a problem making a forced entry here. Abel commanded again, “Activate the circle spirit again. Dark spirit, protect this room so no one can spy with their power of the Will.” The circle spirit just activated the seclusion circle to separate the room from the rest of the world. For the dark spirit, the job was really to attack anyone who attempted to perform a power of the Will scan. With them in place, Abel had the confidence to bring his angelic body out to get his angelic statue out. Once the angelic statue was taken out, Abel could clearly sense that as soon as it appeared, several worship lines were connected. It was truly surprising for him. He looked carefully at these lines. It was easy for him to see that these all came from the Nation of God. He scanned after switching on his world stone fragment. He could tell that 50 million followers were connected to this statue. From what he could guess, they were the followers that were devoting worship to the central temple. In front of the foot of the angelic statue, a crystal body hollow was just starting to take shape. A new holy crystal was being bred. As a matter of act, all statues were very important for divine spirits. These kinds of ones stored inside the main temple were pretty much the main object of worship for most followers. For an extensive amount of time, the 50 million followers would concentrate their worship on this one figure to provide a lot of faith power. It sounded like a lot, but the amount collected was, really, nothing to compare compared to the central temple of the Nation of God. Abel made a rough calculation. The 50 million followers would take about one year to generate one divine crystal for him. He gained a new understanding of the crystal. 50 million was already more than the entire population of the elves. To use the elves as a reference, the Moon Goddess had always been less restricted than the Nation of God on how devoted the followers could be. The Nation of God had a complete system to make sure that everyone was doing their bit to pay tribute. Yet, with all these advantages and resources, it would still take an entire year to produce one holy crystal. Abel was still very satisfied, but then he saw that the divine essence of the statue was just quickly disappearing. As for the inside of the central temple, the Saint was just hosting a spirit enshrinement ceremony. As the central temple must have a statue inside at all times, the Saint used whatever he could to craft a brand new statue in the shortest amount of time available. The new statue was not as intricate as the original one, but since that faith supply was going on a tremendous decrease, the Saint just ordered the statue to be put back onto the offering altar of the central temple. The statue was not just to be placed on the altar. It still needed to be possessed by the spirit that it was supposed to depict. For one statue, there could only be one. Once the enshrinement ceremony was complete, the statue that was stolen would still be put back and returned to a new object. The Saint was very distraught after suffering all these recent losses. He knelt and cried, “My lord! Your servant has sinned! Your figure was stolen, so I made a new one. May the guardian wings store your presence!” From the sky above the Nation of God, the guardian wings just flashed a streak of light and came straight to the central temple. The light swept through the roof and was inserted into the statue that was newly made. Golden light shot the statue. The figure that was dead was now shining with life. The Saint was in tears. This light was nothing compared to the figure that was stolen. The figure was now made according to the ways of the statue, but the core was still the same. The one that was stolen had undergone the baptism of all the worship that was devoted over the past few thousand years. The inside and out were washed completely and repeated with worship. The figure was like a solidified form of worship. The differences between the old and the new were too far apart. For the new figure, it would take at least a few years for its materials to change form and be able to generate any holy crystal. The speed at which the figure could generate the holy crystal was not even half to the statue that was stolen. As time passed, the divine spirit would just be assimilated by the faith power to increase the speed at which the holy crystal was solidifying. As simple as the enshrinement process was, the Saint knew that the ceremony had already cost a lot of what was left inside the Nation of God. Now that everything was already stolen, the only things that remained were what was inside the guardian wings. The enshrinement ceremony was pretty much just for what was stored inside the guardian wing, while the guardian wings were pretty much for defending the barriers of the entire Nation of God. The Saint shouted towards the officer responsible for the intelligence system, “Search as much as you can! Bring the bastard in at any cost!” Abel, meanwhile, was not having a good time. He was upset to see that the figure he stole just lost much of its divine essence. All the 50 million faith liens were gone. The holy crystal was just dispersing as well. “Damn!” he cursed. He knew that the Nation of God had already been doing something, but he couldn’t really do anything. The reason he brought the statue back was so that he could inspect the effect that it had on the holy crystal. For a figure like this that could be offered to real spirits, most of the manufacturing process would be in the hands of the divine spirits. For the figure in front of him, Abel didn’t think that he could get anything else that would be able to generate holy crystals in the same way. In that sense, even if all the worship connection was already gone, this was still a very important object that he had to keep. Next up, Abel had to think about where he could get heritage passed down from the divine spirit. Since he was in his elven form, he thought that the first place he could visit would be over at the Moon Goddess Temple. Of course, he wasn’t just going to go over towards the temple to steal things. The Moon Goddess was still alive and well. It was not like the central temple of the Nation of God, where the demon from beyond would always be in deep sleep no matter how much trouble he was causing. If he was to sneak into the Goddess Temple, he would just be slain by the Moon Goddess regardless of anything that happened before between them. No, Abel didn’t want to go to Lorraine for this, too. While it was easy to get information from her, that would just play into the hands of any potential political rivals. Abel never once believed that the Moon Goddess was so unified that everyone was fully supportive of Lorraine to be the Saint. So far, Lorraine was just taking the lead in terms of popularity because of all the ridiculous amount of tributes he was giving to everyone. If Lorraine made a mistake anytime, things could still get very wrong very quickly. In order for that to not happen, he had to be very precise in his maneuver to make sure that there were enough people owing him favors. He spoke to the research spirit, “Research spirit, make a call for me to Druid Beulah.” The research spirit replied, “Yes, Master. Please wait for a while.” Abel looked around him. This was a secret room right here. There was also an angelic statue. It was also very strange here. His body flashed and immediately appeared inside the guest meeting room. The research spirit spoke after one minute, “The call has been connected for you, Master.” Druid Beulah spoke, “Honourable Grandmaster Bennett, what can I help you with?” Abel invited, “There is something I’d like answered, Druid Beulah. If you have the time, would you head over to the golden castle for me?” Druid Beulah agreed immediately, “I’ll be over there immediately, Grandmaster Bennett. I’ll be there in five minutes.” Druid Beulah was one of Lorraine’s mentors. Naturally, she would be on quite good terms with Abel. Abel was actually the one that helped her live longer after saving her from imminent death. It wasn’t just her that would agree to help Abel out, as Abel had been the sole hope for promotion for a while now. Most big druids remained stuck at rank 22 through history, but Abel was a special being that could make many of them break through that barrier. As long as he was there to help in person, a promotion at pretty much any rank was always guaranteed. Five minutes later, Druid Beulah appeared inside the guest meeting room of the golden castle. Druid Beulah was very humble in her demeanor, “What would you need help with, Grandmaster Bennett?” Abel could see that Druid Beulah wasn’t even sitting, “Please, Druid Beulah, feel more relaxed here. It’s about my recent promotion. I just became a grandmaster alchemist, so there is still much I need to learn about all sorts of things. As you know, the Wizard Union has been blocking a lot of knowledge regarding divine spirits, so I can only turn to you to learn about divine spirits.”

Chapter 1180 - Knowledge Chapter 1180: Knowledge Although Big Druid Beulah didn’t understand why Abel would want to know about gods after he became a Grandmaster alchemist, he had to repay his favor. “Grandmaster Bennett. I won’t hold back as long as it does not involve the top secrets of the temple!” She smiled after she took a seat. With Abel’s current status as a grandmaster and a headmaster of honor, he had a right to know about the secrets of this world. “Big druid Beulah, can you tell me something about the creation of gods?” Abel asked respectfully. “Grandmaster, the creation of a god is forbidden in this world, you…” Big Druid Beulah paused. “Big Druid Beulah, I just want to understand. I’m not planning to become a god!” Abel laughed. “Grandmaster, I can only tell you things according to the legends of the past! The first step is to obtain the body of god, the second is to create a domain of god. Only a god with a domain can be considered a real god!” Big Druid Beulah explained. Abel knew his question was not easy to answer, considering the Wizard Union’s attitude towards gods. What Big Druid Beulah told him was already a lot. “I heard all holy objects are made by god. Do you know how they are made?” Abel changed a question. “Grandmaster, some books have mentioned the formula for holy objects, but their creation requires the energy of god, and most gods will only make the ones they are skilled at. “The materials they used are simple, but after going through the energy of god, they will obtain a special power unlike anything in the world! “Holy Objects are the highest rewards aged will give to their followers. It is a reflection of love!” Big Druid Beulah explained. She believed Abel was asking this question because he wanted to strengthen his alchemy skills further, but it was not applicable to him. At least that’s what she thought. “I have another question. How do you connect a statue of god to god?” Abel asked. It was the question he cared about the most. “After a statue of god is built, it needs to go through an ignition!” Big Druid Beulah knew about this very well. “How do you do that?’ Abel followed. Big Druid Beulah hesitated because it was one of the inherited knowledge of the temple. However, a statue of god needed a god to function at the end of the day, so she thought it probably wouldn’t hurt telling Abel about it as a return of the favor. “Grandmaster, I’ll be on my way now!’ She stood up and bowed. Abel was caught off guard, but he soon realized that Big Druid Beulah left over a lambskin book behind on the chair. “Big Druid Beulah, I am very thankful for your visit. Please take good care of Lorraine!” Abel knew her intention, so he smiled and bowed as well. After he sent off Big Druid Beulah, he picked up the book she left over. It was a beautifully written book. It was the knowledge guide of the temple. Most of the ones he saw were like this. The book was a glorification of god on the surface, but the details were hidden within. Big Druid Beulah vowed to never tell anyone about God’s information; however, for the Sainte’s boyfriend, who also did a great favor for her, she had no choice. Therefore, she decided to just leave the temple guide over so she didn’t have to break her vow. The book began with a song for god, and that was where the ignition began. It was then followed by the moves, music, clothes, number of attendees, location, as well as all kinds of things that didn’t seem necessary. After he finished the book, he came to a conclusion. The process of ignition was basically by connecting a god’s power of the will to the statue. Everything else was basically nonsense—just some ceremony to mask suspicions. The process of ignition was simple. The true challenge lied in the creation of the statue, which needed many valuable materials. Some of the most important ones were exclusive to the temple. However, that did not apply to Abel. He already had a ready-made statue. He put away the book and teleported to his statue underground. He carefully transferred his consciousness to his druid soul. However, he did not emerge with his angel body. Instead, he used the special ability of his altered druid soil and reached out a strand of soul energy towards the statue. It was what he understood from the book. Although it also demanded a set amount of preachers and a speaker of god to host a ceremony for guiding the process, Abel had no need for that. The only problem was that his druid soul would be considered as a god-level god after merging with the crystal angel statue. However, the statue soon began to glow. His druid soul was qualified. The statue in front of him suddenly became even closer to him than the one he saw in the central temple of the Holy Kingdom. It was almost like the body of his druid soul. It didn’t seem like much at first, but he soon realized he could see the external world through the statue as he shifted his consciousness onto it. With this knowledge, he finally made a decision. He would never go into a temple with an alive god ever again. Standing in front of a statue of god was basically being looked at by a god. In the past, he could stand confidently in front of the goddess of the moon, even with his many little secrets, but not with his angel body. It was something even a god would be interested in. Abel connected to his preachers through the crystal angel statue and sent out a command. Just like the internet of his past life, his followers could connect to the statue through the preachers. Soon, he sensed stands of faith connecting to the statue. Each of them signified a follower. He sighed at how convent this was. He would no longer lose faith in his followers even if he went into the Dark World. But it was also at that moment he realized how trivial his past efforts were compared to the faith of an actual god. Just a holy crystal alone had more power of god than him. Even with 10,000 followers in the Holy Kingdom, it would take them at least 100 years to form a holy crystal. This was how far behind he was, and It was also at that moment he finally understood how valuable that box of holy crystal in the holy kingdom temple was. He suddenly thought about the Barbarians in the Battlecry plateau. Should he find a statue for Doff the Beamon to accumulate faith as well? He no longer needed those Barbarians’ faith to alter Doff’s body. Instead, 10 holy crystals should do the trick much faster. However, getting a statue was no easy task. He only got lucky. There were not many statues around. Even the ones in the Battlecry city’s god of war temple were destroyed or taken by the Wizard Union long ago. If not, he wouldn’t need to go through this much hassle. Suddenly, a place came to mind. The big church in the Rogue Encampment! There were many statues there leftover by hell with no owner. All he needed was to reignite them! Of course, that was only if statues in the Dark World could work in this world. But still, it shouldn’t hurt to try. He opened the portal and directly found a perfect statue from the temple of the Dark World. The statue was not as tall as the ones in the central continent. It was about human size, but you could still sense the extraordinary material used to make it, even after countless years of corrosion from hell. Just from this, you could tell how advanced the Dark World was. Abel never paid much attention to statues, but ever since his angel body made contact with them, he truly got a sense of how powerful they were. The face of the statue Abel got was a little distorted, but there was no sign of damage on its body. Still, Abel brought it back to the Rogue Encampment without thinking too much. After all, the gods of the Dark World had faded long ago after the endless battle between heaven and hell. Almost all beings in the Dark World were killed. After tens of thousands of years, even the name of gods had been long forgotten. Abel then summoned Doff and reached a strand of its soul out towards the statue through the soul chain. Suddenly, the statue began to change. It was originally in the shape of a human body, but soon it turned into a little Beamon after Doff’s soul entered. Abel looked at the 10 meters tall Doff and that 2 meters tall statue of a Beamon. It looked exactly like a carbon copy of Doff. It even had the armor and ancient totem on its hand. Normally a statue would be bigger than the actual god, but Doff was the opposite. Abel put Doff back in the Monster Ring. Little did Doff know, it had already taken its biggest step to becoming a god. Doff had an entire race as followers. If the Barbarians had a larger population, the Wizard Union would never let Abel take advantage like this.

Chapter 1181 - Two Status Chapter 1181: Two Status Abel brought the statue back to the Golden castle’s secret chamber and put it next to the angel statue. It was the only room in this world with the statue of two different gods. After all, faith often did not go well together, so every god wanted their own space even if they belonged to a single group. Abel transferred a monogram to the Barbarians through an oracle of the ancient totem. It was a blurry monogram, but it was filled with holiness. Therefore, all the Barbarians needed was to pray towards it, and faith would be transferred to the Barbarian statue. The angel body’s statue of Abel, on the other hand, always ran the risk of being discovered since they were all stolen from the Holy Kingdom. Therefore he could only connect to them through his preachers. Since Abel had given the Barbarians oracles many times, they became even more faithful than the elves towards the Goddess of Moon. Perhaps harsher living conditions created more faithful followers. Abel was not satisfied by the amount of faith Doff had gotten. After all, he was calculating them by the amounts of holy crystal they produce. With this goal, even the 2 statues combined would not form a single holy crystal in 100 years. Abel took out the lambskin book Big Druid Beulah gave him and flicked to the last chapter. It was about how followers could connect to god through a statue to receive rewards. It was vague, but Abel was suddenly enlightened. The biggest problem Abel had was that his Barbarian preacher could no longer use the healing spell once he brought Doff into the Dark World. This was not good for strengthening the Barbarians’ loyalty, but he had no choice. He summed Doff on the starlight protection circle and controlled him through the soul chain. With a power of the will range of 1500 meters, he could connect Doff to the statue underground even without using the mysterious aura. When Doff connected to the statue, Abel felt like his body was divided once again. This time, he left a command for that little strand of Doff’s spirit in the statue. It was not a complicated command, and since it was strengthened by the statue, that little strand of spirit could function as a normal spirit. Actually, all spirits in this world were created by the Wizard Union’s research into the knowledge of gods and statues. This technology was what allowed the Wizard Union to rule. There was not a single corner of the world without a spirit. Everyone who used a teleportation circle needed one, even if it was a very weak one. As for organizing data, the wizard union needed some extremely powerful spirits. Not to mention every city and town needed spirits to control their protection circle and limit professionals from abusing their power. Spirit drastically reduced the need for manpower and better analyzed the outcome of wars. It was how the wizard union could rule over so many continents so effectively. In Abel’s case, if his followers wanted to use the healing spell, all they needed to do was to meet the prerequisites and call, “the great god of war, please hear my prayer, lend me your power to heal my injuries!” Then the Doff’s spirit would automatically inject a bottle of light healing potion into the target through the passage of faith. It was a smooth process, but he needed to make some changes. First, it was increasing the rate of using the healing spell to once every 3 hours. For elite Barbarians, they could do this prayer 6 hours beforehand and have 3 healing spells stored up. Abel’s alchemy skills have increased drastically ever since he became a grandmaster. Light healing potions were no longer a concern. He also wanted to increase the status of Barbarians and showed the Wizard Union that they would support them no matter if they were controlled by the Goddess of Moon or not. After all, the biggest benefiter of healing spells was the Wizard Union, as it drastically increased the performance of Barbarians in the front line. Maybe the wizard union realized this as well and allowed the Barbarians to live a better life in the Central Continent. After everything was set, Abel took out a 100 square meters portal bag, filled it with light healing potions, and placed it next to Doff’s statue for its spirit to take care of. Mad warrior Church was recruited by the Wizard union in the front line, but he didn’t want to. Ever since oracles began to emerge in the Battlecry Plateau, there were many new professional Barbarians that needed him for guidance. Still, he could not reject the Wizard Union. He was not responsible for the actual battle. His only task was to enchant the other professionals with a battle cry, battle mode, and battle commands. At that moment, a battle was taking place between law-defying wizards and mad knights 2 kilometers before him, which happened way too often these days. Suddenly, an oracle emerged from his soul as he was focusing on the battle. His eyes began to sparkle in disbelief. He received the instruction to a spell, a very rare spell among the Barbarians preachers, the healing spell. Even during the battle, he kept his locality and never stopped praying. He sensed his body and discovered he already had 3 healing spells accumulated. Mad warrior Church’s heart poured with excitement. As far as he knew, no other god in this world had given such great healing power to their followers. Most only had the power to heal normal people, with almost no effect on professionals. The healing spell was basically as powerful as Grandmaster Bennett’s super potions, which were getting rarer and rarer as the elites of the Wizard Union began to accumulate. By that potion, those portions would only be used as a final lifesaver for most professionals. “Warrior Church, enchant me!” A rank 23 wizard named Mike called. Warrior Church quickly unleashed the 3 battlecry enchantments he knew all too well and turned to Wizard Mike. However, by that point, Wizard Mike was not looking too good. His body was filled with frost, and there was a long cut opened from his left shoulder to his left arm. It was gushing out blood, and normal healing potions would not do the trick. “Wizard Mike, why don’t you treat your wounds?” Warrior Church yelled. “Don’t talk about it. We wizards have used too many healing potions, and I’ve grown numb to them. That is, other than Grandmaster Bennett’s potions of course!” Wizard Mike shook his head helplessly. Abel was not expecting the battle to last this long. The 2000 light healing potions and the 2000 mana potions he gave were actually not that much when they finally got to the hands of the wizards. Although the wizard union had some stored up as well, they weren’t planning to use them up in a single battle. “Wizard Mike, let me help you!” Warrior Church called. “You have a way to help? Here, quick!” Wizard Mike asked curiously and presented his wound. Warrior Church put on a serious face and began to mumble. “The great god of war, please hear my prayer. Lend me your power to heal the injury!” Wizard Mike was confused. He never heard that Warrior Church was a Barbarian Preacher. How could he know the healing spell? However, a white light soon flashed on his body, and a soothing feeling washed over him. The frost and the long cut on him were quickly disappearing. After the white light faded, Wizard Mike sensed his body. Most of his injuries were healed in just 10 seconds. “Warrior Church, I’ll make a deal with you. Come along to my future missions!” Wizard Mike smiled. Warrior Church smiled back as Wizard Mike focused on his battle again. Warrior Church knew very well. The status of Barbarians would soon increase in the Central Continent. Although their fighting power was not that strong, with their enchanting ability on top of their close body fighting skills, as well as this healing spell, they would be much more useful. Abel stepped out of his secret chamber and scratched his head. It was as though he had forgotten something. Didn’t his human form have followers as well? Although there were only around 1000 of them, they were his followers nevertheless. He no longer needed to care about Doff’s statue and the Angel statue. From then on, everything would be taken care of by itself, and no more faith would be wasted in the Central Continent even when he was not around. He ignited a move in a flash scroll, returned to the church in the Rogue Encampment, and found another statue. This statue was a little older than the first one he got, but the materials were altered by faith as well. After all, its ability was the only thing that mattered. He then arrived at Blood Moor. There was a huge temple built for him by the high elves. Just like Doff, Abel’s body was also being altered. It was just a little slower. What he didn’t know was that the Dark World would unleash great power to suppress anything powerful. Therefore, becoming a god in the Dark World was even harder than the Central Continent.

Chapter 1182 - Faith Chapter 1182: Faith Abel had a familiar feeling when he was in the temple, just like his angel body when he was in the Holy Kingdom’s temple. It was his temple at the end of the day. He just never had a statue to connect to it. The headmaster of the high elves, Headmaster Locke, Kneeled down and made a big bow with his little body in the hall. Since Abel commanded, headmaster Locke was the only one allowed to live in the temple. He knew about the history of high elves in the continents. He didn’t want his own high elves to have the same fate. He played with the human size statue in the temple, United it with his soul, and it began to transform. His human face began to emerge from it, as well as the long robe he was wearing. “Locke, bring the high elves to pray in front of this statue in the future!” Abel commanded. “Yes my great lord!” headmaster Locke bowed again. Abel did not stay for long. It felt strange to be inside his temple when he was not even a true god yet. Still, he was half a god in the Rogue Encampment with some followers. If he had never seen the god of war being locked up by the Wizard union underground, his ego might have gone through the roof already. He had to keep his humility. Even truly powerful gods were captured and taken advantage of by the wizard union. He tried to connect to his statue when he returned to the Rogue Encampment. By that time, more than 1000 high elves were already praying in front of his statue on their knees. Compared to the Barbarians and the followers he had in the Holy Kingdom, 1000 high elves were not that much. However, he could sense their faith was much stronger. It was almost like his statue was being washed over by faith. The age-old damage inside the statue was being recovered, and the remains of the past gods were being cleansed. It was reborn. In no time, the statue truly became a statue of Abel. Suddenly a surprising thing happened. A holy crystal was being formed. He was stunned as he scanned the forming holy crystal. It would only take a year before the process was complete. Even the angel statue in the Holy Kingdom with 50 million followers could not form a holy crystal in a year. Since it only had 100,000 followers left, it could not even form a holy crystal in 100 years. As for Doff, the process of forming a holy crystal had not even begun. He couldn’t understand how powerful the high elves were? He had underestimated them. Although they were not as powerful as angels, they were definitely one of the top beings. It was just that they hadn’t been around long enough to fully get a sense of their ability. Just like a young dragon, for example. They could only become powerful with time. Therefore, even the high elves could not do much in their current status. Each of their souls signified a legend. Since faith had nothing to do with fighting power, Abel basically had 1000 legends as followers. Not to mention, normal legends were often less faithful due to their arrogance. But of course, excluding the legendary knights cultivated by the Holy Kingdom. The high elves, on the other hand, depended on the Oak tree. It was the tree of life of the Dark World, and it controlled the law of the world. Since the Oak tree was bound to Abel by the soul, Abel’s statues were unquestionable to the high elves. Therefore, the high elves’ faith was the purest form of faith, especially with no other creatures around in the Dark World to disrupt them. As long as Abel could maintain This environment, he would have unending amounts of faith. If madness was the pinnacle of faith, you would need to give these high elves another category. If another god had a follower like this, it would protect him by all means necessary and use holy energy to bring it back to the world of god when he died. If the Dark World did not suppress power up to a level, Abel could definitely sense his body being altered by faith. The faith of those high elves only grew with the statue. Abel was excited. He calculated for a moment. With the time difference of the Dark World, he would basically have a holy crystal once every 2 weeks in the Central Continent. It was too bad he still didn’t know too much about how to use holy crystals to speed up his transformation, but he was confident in himself. Abel kept his eyes out the following few days to make sure everyone believed he was in retreat. When October arrived, Abel returned from the Dark World feeling tired. As soon as he stepped out of the training room, the research spirit sounded. Wizard Hutton had been waiting for a long time. Abel sighed. Wizard Hutton must have been waiting to have breakfast again. Still, they were great friends, and Abel would treat him with the best food and wine. Afterward, Abel and Wizard Hutton arrived at the Dwarves’ Furnace Fort. As soon as Abel stepped out, he saw King Gunther waiting for him. “Grandmaster Bennett, it’s our honour to have you in the Furnace Fort!” He bowed with a friendly smile. “I’m very happy to see you too!” Abel smiled and bowed back. They did not make their way to the temple on foot. Instead, a luxurious Pegasus carriage from the elves was there. With smiles on their faces, Abel and King Gunther stepped on the carriage. Finally, Abel had a chance to look over the Furnace Fort from the sky. It had changed a lot because of the Holy Kingdom. There were 10 sky ships, and the top of all buildings on the hill was equipped with war machines, long-range crossbows, and all kinds of exclusive weapons. The entire Furnace Fort has become a giant destroyer. Even a legend might think twice before invading! “Grandmaster Bennett, as you can see, we dwarves are well prepared!” King Gunther lowered his voice. To be honest, the budget spent on those set up was unimaginable. Only the most important cities would do something like this. For smaller cities, their only choice was to go underground or retreat. The dwarves were not human. Their population dictated their fate as they would not be able to recover near as fast. “King Gunther, are we at that point yet?” Abel was stunned. Although he was keeping up to date with the Wizard Union, he was not expecting the dwarves to prepare for war already. “Anything can happen considering how badly the Evil Kingdom is hit by the WIzard Union!” King Gunther lowered his voice again. He thought about the elves. They had not even started to move yet. Although he strengthened the defense of the Tree of life, the most the elves ever did was gathering their druids and increasing their training. It was nothing compared to what the dwarves managed to achieve. Abel sighed at how hopeless the elves were. He already did a lot for them. He practically gave them half of their skyships for free. However, both King Gunther and Abel did not know how impactful Abel’s robbery was to the Holy Kingdom. With so many holy crystals gone, it would be hard for the Holy kingdom to get revenge even if they wanted to. Under this circumstance, they could only do hit and runs on small territories, so they did not have to waste holy crystals to lock down the dimension. “Grandmaster Abel, the reason I invited you here is to talk about the potential war. Even the Holy kingdom did not take revenge on us elves, the strange behaviour of the Guardian wings signifies the reawakening of the demon from beyond in the next 100 years. The Wizard Union is right!” King Gunther added. “King Gunther, I will do my best no matter what!” Abel smiled. “Then I’ll thank you first!” King Gunther laughed. The flying carriage landed on the square in front of the palace. It was not a big area, but a lavish welcoming ceremony was about to begin. 10 dwarves lifted up to their horns, and the entire Furnace Fort knew an important guest had arrived. More than 10 law-defying wizards stood in front of the palace and bowed. Maybe that was all the law-defying wizards who lived in the Furnace Fort. Abel and King Gunther stepped into the palace under the cheers. This time, they did not dwell for long. After King Gunther said some welcoming words to Abel, they entered the mountain of the Furnace Fort. Considering how important this place was and the prestige of Abel’s status, King Gunther had to lead the way personally. “Grandmaster Bennett, we dwarves have many powerful wizards, but not many legendary wizards have ever emerged in our history. That’s why we are not known for our wizardry but our forgery!” King Gunther stopped in front of a door. “Of course. The dwarves are number one when it comes to forgery!” Abel laughed. Yes, that was coming from a grandmaster blacksmith. “What you are about to see is the finest work from us dwarves!” King Gunther said with pride. Abel sensed that he had arrived in the lowest underground level of the Furnace Fort mountain. Considering the habits of the dwarves, it should be where the most powerful war machines were stored.

Chapter 1183 - Research Chapter 1183: Research Abel was stunned as soon as he entered the door. He was in a huge cave, but all the walls were smooth like a room. The area was 40 meters tall and covered thousands of square meters. There were also countless magic circles around to support it from collapsing. However, what stunned Abel the most was what stood within 20 twenty meters tall iron puppets. Abel saw many puppets in the past. Frankenstein’s body, for example, was a human-size puppet. He also encountered some 10 meters tall puppets, but they were all nothing compared to what stood in front of him. Not because of the height, but the material. As a grandmaster Blacksmith, no one in the world knew more about materials than him. He could clearly tell they were the materials of his battle forts, an ancient wall machine. Those 20 giant puppets were the remains of ancient wars, and they were most likely used in the front line considering their heights. You could tell how scary the war of ancient times was just by looking at them. “Grandmaster Bennett, these 20 ancient puppets are the most powerful war machines of us dwarves. It is too bad they are all damaged more or less during the Demon from Beyond’s first invasion. Although most damage can be repaired with gems, some of them can not!” King Gunther sighed. “Majesty Gunther, I don’t know much about ancient puppets!” Abel shook his head. “Grandmaster, we have been researching ancient puppets since the dawn of time. Although we still can not replicate them, we found some repairing methods!” King Gunther smiled. Afterward, he bowed and suggested Abel approach the ancient puppets. “We have 20 ancient puppets, but only 5 of them are in working conditions. 2 of them having lost their fighting power. The other 15 have lost all functions, but we finally found the reason for that!” King Gunther pointed and said. “The reason?” Abel asked curiously. “Actually, the spirits inside those puppets were damaged before we found them. But this also gave us the opportunity to study them. We invited many spirit makers, but they all failed to replicate the power of an ancient spirit. Finally, we are able to get them functioning again by replicating the spirit’s operating system with a manual operating system. Although it was not as powerful, it still allowed us to go to war with them. “Because of our alteration, the original operating system of these puppets is lost and they can no longer repair themselves. After the war, we discovered that most of our manual operation systems were damaged. So, the only way to repair them is through a Grandmaster alchemist!” King Gunther did not hold back. They were all secrets of the dwarves. They were what kept the dwarves at peace. But with only 3 of them in functioning condition, they were actually nowhere as powerful as they looked. However, the dwarves had no choice. If there was a spirit inside those puppets, they would not even be able to study them. Once the spirit of an ancient war machine ran out of energy, they would shut off and forbade anyone from entering. The machine would basically become a piece of junk. Therefore, the dwarves were lucky to have the opportunity to study them and finally grasped a method to control them. Abel thought for a moment. Perhaps those 20 ancient puppets were all damaged at once by the same attack in ancient times. They were damaged very similarly. As powerful as the dwarves were, they were still a little behind compared to the ancients. Their alterations have drastically reduced the defense of those puppets. From Abel’s knowledge of his battle forts, the weakness of an ancient war machine was their operation system. It was made with a special type of alchemy material, and it was the only thing that could regenerate once it was damaged. Therefore, a war machine with a damaged operating system was a useless war machine. It seemed like this was what happened to those ancient puppets, but still, Abel just didn’t have much knowledge when it came to ancient war machines. He was too scared to take apart a battle fort at the end of the day. Although he was already a grandmaster alchemist, his knowledge of metallurgy was still behind the dwarves. He only picked it from the dwarves when he was making alchemy materials from the dwarves not long ago. “Majesty, I’ll give it a go but I can’t promise anything!” Abel did not react. He was very interested in the thousands of years of research from the dwarves nevertheless. “Haha, Grandmaster, I’m happy to hear that!” King Gunther laughed. He was very confident in Abel, even more than Abel himself. He was the only grandmaster alchemist in the past thousands of years. If Abel couldn’t, no one could. Suddenly, an old dwarf covered in dust jumped down from one of the ancient puppets. Abel focused on him. He was an almost master Metallurgist, one that was on the brink of leveling up. Abel never saw a metallurgist this powerful. Although he heard about them in rumors, he never believed someone could become a master just from metallurgy alone. As you know, top-level materials were extremely rare. Unlike herbs for top-level potions, they could not be grown. Their numbers in the world were set. The dwarves have been mining metallurgy materials since the dawn of time, but most of them were low in ranks. This was why becoming a master metallurgist was almost impossible. “Hobson greeting Grandmaster Bennett !” the metallurgist turned to Abel with his eyes sparkling in excitement. “Grandmaster, please excuse him, he is a little too excited!” King Gunther gave Metallurgist Hobson a threatening look. “No worries, greetings Metallurgist Hobson!” Abel didn’t mind. Instead, he smiled and gently bowed. “Grandmaster, I’m sorry I’ve lost my manners. I was in retreat the last time you visited the Furnace Fort. I’ve regretted ever since, especially since you became a grandmaster alchemist after that!” Metallurgist Hobson stabilized his mood and said. “Hobson is the most knowledgeable person when it comes to ancient puppets. He has dedicated his whole life to it!” King Gunther introduced. “Metallurgist Hobson, can you tell me more about ancient puppets?” Abel turned and asked after hearing King Gunther’s introduction. “Grandmaster, we have been researching for countless years and we have many conclusions. All the puppets you see today steams from these!” Metallurgist Hobson placed his hand on an ancient puppet and said. Suddenly, everything became clear to Abel. “To be honest, our understanding of them is still on the surface level. We still can not replicate their fundamentals. Just take their materials for example. We speculate that they are probably made from the bones of powerful creatures, but we just can not replicate them!” Metallurgist Hobson continued. “How come?” Abel asked. He was very curious. He, too, wanted to research them, but he just never had the time. Training was the top priority to him at the end of the day. “We also found some bones in an ancient sight. Through our analysis, we believe they are the original material of the ancient puppets. But, do you know what creature they belonged to? The metallurgist did not wait for Abel to answer as he immediately added, “A legendary level monster. If we try to hunt them down, we will just die!” Abel couldn’t help but think of his ancient submarines. Maybe that was what it was for. Perhaps the entire ocean was a huge area for resource exploitation in ancient times. After all, only the ocean had that many giant legendary monsters. Considering the size of those ancient war machines and the size of a legendary wizard. They might not be able to make a single battle fort even if they killed all the legendary wizards in the world. “What about the main operating system, what is it made out of?” Abel asked again. “I’m sorry grandmaster, we couldn’t identify it. But a Grandmaster alchemist has the power to repair it!” Metallurgist Hobson said. “Let me see it!” Abel gained a bit of confidence and said. King Gunther smiled from the side, and he did not interrupt. Even metallurgist Hobson seemed to forget about him as he led Abel on an ancient puppet through a ladder from the back. When they reached the top, metallurgist Hobson explained, “The weakness of the ancient puppet is not the head, but the back!” He then reached out his hand and pressed on the back of the ancient puppet to expose the internals. The first thing Abel saw was a cracked flat board with a tightly drawn pattern. There was a normal magic operation board made out of ordinary material placed on top of the flat board. It must be an alteration the dwarves made to the operation system, but Abel had no idea how long it took the dwarves to make them. This really did affect the power of the original operating system. Once it was attacked, it would be damaged even more. However, the dwarves did what they had to do. If not, these machines couldn’t go into war.

Chapter 1184 - Repair Chapter 1184: Repair Since that cracked ancient flat board was fixed on the back of the puppet, Abel could only repair it on the spot. “Hobson, let’s give master Bennett some space!” King Gunther turned and said. Metallurgist Hobson stepped off the ladder. He was just a touch away from being a master alchemist specialized in metallurgy. He wanted to see how Abel did it. However, he was not aware. Professionals normally don’t like people looking at their working process. Abel knew what Metallurgist Hobson was thinking, but he did not tell him to stay. It was his first time using his metallurgist ability. He didn’t want to embarrass himself. King Gunther went off with Metallurgist Hobson, leaving Abel in the open space with the 20 ancient puppets. Abel ignited the Grandmaster Alchemist pattern within him, and a strand of alchemy energy emerged from his hand. It was his usual repairing method, and it worked every time as long as the damage was not serious. However, this was not the case. The thing was infused with too many magic patterns. Not only was Abel an embarrassment when it came to his understanding of magic patterns as a grandmaster, but the magic patterns drawn in ancient war machines were also often impossible to replicate. Therefore, Abel used his most direct method. Ignite the world stone and scan the operation board with his power of the will. Soon, all the details of the pattern were burned in his head, It was not a power a grandmaster alchemist should have, but no one could tell since he was the only grandmaster alchemist around. He pressed his left hand on the flat board and transferred his alchemy energy onto it. He couldn’t tell what material the thing was made out of, but he didn’t need to know anyway. He was just repairing the thing. After his energy entered, he sensed the main operation board slowly became softer. If a master alchemist tried this, it might take them hundreds of years with their energy. The operation board was very soft, but Abel wasn’t going to go all out. He just needed enough for the cracks to merge. The energy kept rushing in, and the magic pattern on the board began to fade as it merged. It was at that moment, Abel turned his power of the will into a blade and etched out the original pattern. His job was done, but he couldn’t guarantee if the operating system would be damaged again during the next battle. Although he didn’t know how to make the dwarves’ manual operation system, his world stone had memorized every little detail of the magic pattern on it. He carefully reached his power of the will into the operation board once again and began to etch on the dwarves’ manual operation circle with his power of the will. With the precision of his druid soul and the world stone, the process was smooth. This process was extremely challenging for other master alchemists, and it needed careful inspections. But that wasn’t the case for Abel. His etching was perfect, almost indistinguishable from the original. Afterward, he directly tore off the original manual operation board. His instincts told him that the main operation circle should be working fine. What he did was not normal for a Grandmaster alchemist. The dwarves had basically invited a god to help them repair a magic circle board. “Majesty Gunther, Metallurgist Hobson, please come here!” Abel called. His voice traveled through the space, and the 2 dwarves quickly stepped towards him. “Grandmaster, do you need help?” King Gunther asked. Little did he know, Abel had already completed it. All it took for him was to look at that ancient pattern once, and he had memorized it. “Majesty Gunther, the ancient puppet is repaired, and I even made little adjustments to it!” Abel smiled. “What?” King Gunther and Metallurgist Hobson’s jaws dropped as they quickly climbed on the ladder to see the result. Metallurgist Hobson had forgotten all manners at that moment. All he wanted was to see how his countless years of research turned out. “Grandmaster, you took off the manual operation system?” Metallurgist Hobson gasped. The cracks on the main operating system were repaired, but where did his manual operation system go? “I’ve etched it on top of the original magic pattern. It’s too bad I don’t know much about magic patterns, so I can only replicate your old one!” Abel pointed and said. Metallurgist turned his gaze and saw a familiar magic pattern perfectly merged on an ancient pattern. “Grandmaster, let me try it. If it works, the biggest weakness of our ancient puppets will be fixed!” Metallurgist Hobson said in excitement. King Gunther saw Metallurgist Hobson’s expression from the side and immediately knew the repair was very successful. Metallurgist Hobson was powerful as a professional as well. He kept climbing up the ladder ad arrived at the head of the puppet. He lifted up a protection shield and took a seat inside. “Grandmaster, lets get away from the ladder. Hobson is crazy. He must have forgetten we are still on the ladder!” King Gunther saw what Metallurgist Hobson was doing and quickly said. King Gunther was a rank 20 wizard, so he placed his hand on Abel’s shoulder and disappeared in a flash. When they reappeared on the ground, an ear-shattering noise began to emerge from the joints of the puppet. It was scary. This 20 meters monster was finally beginning to move in this confined space after countless years. It was at that moment metallurgist Hobson realized how impulsive he was being. They turned to King Gunther and Abel on the ground and bowed. However, King Gunther couldn’t care less at that point. His gaze was completely fixed on the ancient puppet. It had only taken Abel a short while to repair such a monster. The dwarves, on the other hand, were hopeless even after thousands of years of research. “Grandmaster Bennett, if it’s not too much of a hassle, please help us alter the 3 functioning puppets as well after you’ve fixed the other puppets!” King Gaunter bowed. “No problem!” Abel smiled. This job was no challenge to him. It was even easier than making grandmaster potions. Of course, he was only repairing at the end of the day, not making something from scratch. Abel spent the following hours in this underground space, and all the puppets were repaired by noon. King Gunther and Metallurgist Hobson waited from the side. It was the most important place of the dwarves, it was where their biggest secrets were, and it was extremely rare that they opened it up for an outsider. Even most dwarves never heard about this place. After Abel finished his work, Metallurgist Hobson tested out the puppets one by one. He knew Master Bennett was a busy man, and they spent a lot of effort to ask him for a helping hand. Therefore, Metallurgist Hobson asked as many questions as he could before Abel left. “Grandmaster, please follow me!” King Gunther saw Metallurgist Hobson testing out the puppets and smiled. He knew they were fine even before Metallurgist Hobson finished testing, so he wanted to start talking about Abel’s pay. They arrived at the deepest part of the underground space, and King Gunther pressed the wall. A hole suddenly emerged from the ground. They stepped in, and to Abel’s surprise, there were 2 more ancient puppets. “Grandmaster, we are supposed to give you some of those puppets on the surface by law, but they are fundamental to our power! We found these 2 ancient puppets in the ancient sight as well, and they still had a spirit inside!” king Gunther looked Abel in the eye and said. “King Gunther, you want to give me these 2 puppets instead?” Abel kept a little surprised. After all, Abel was not expecting the dwarves to give him any ancient puppets for his help anyway. He knew how important they were just by considering the fact that King Gunther had personally come with him to this underground space, and the only one around beside them was metallurgist Hobson. On top of that, those puppets were the front-line war machines of ancient times, each one of them was priceless. Therefore for those 2 ancient puppets with a functioning spirit, Abel was more than happy to take them since he had the commander spirit. In fact, it was even better than the ones without spirits. If he was given one of them, he would need to cultivate an operator from scratch, and they had to be dwarves, considering the size of their operation room. “Yes Grandmaster, they are your compensation!” King Gunther smiled. He knew Abel had been accumulating battle forts from all over the continent. If he was just interested in researching them, just one or two of them was enough. Therefore, he guessed Abel must have some method of unleashing their power, and these 2 ancient puppets might come in handy for him as well.

Chapter 1185 - Puppet King Of The Land Chapter 1185: Puppet King of The Land The dwarves knew how priceless those 2 puppets were, but they really had no methods of using them, so they could only be collectibles for them at most. After all, they already spent thousands of years in research. Therefore, giving them out in exchange for Abel’s help was a good deal for them. “King Gunther, I love it!” Abel said in excitement. “Grandmaster, I’m glad you like it!” King Gunther smiled. Abel wrapped the 30 meters tall puppets with his power of the will and put them back in his Holy Portal bag. When he returned to the underground space, Metallurgist Hobson had finished testing out all the ancient puppets. “Grandmaster, Majesty, all the puppets are fully functioning!”Metallurgist Hobson said in excitement. “I really want to see what it looks like if all 20 ancient puppets charge at once!” King Gunther gazed forward and mumbled. The last time those puppets charged together was during the Demon from beyond’s first invasion. That period was the panicle of the dwarves’ fighting power. In a hundred years, they would be thrown into a similar situation, and it was all thanks to master Bennett they could regain a big part of their power. Abel did not stay for long and rejected King Gunther’s wine party invitation. At this moment, it was best for him to stay in the golden castle. He was constantly worrying about the Holy Kingdom’s revenge, especially since King Gunther mentioned how badly hit they were. After all, impacts in the front line were nothing compared to a loss in the central temple. Since Abel had even taken their statue away, they must do something. Although he tried his best to hide his identity, he still couldn’t guarantee it. He wouldn’t give the Holy Kingdom a single chance. He returned to the Golden castle and entered the Starlight protection circle. Finally, his heart settled a little. His rank 22 wizard body was not invincible like his angel body. It was not even the most powerful rank of the Central Continent. Although he had many legendary friends, relying on them too much was still not a good idea. When it came to his own power, he immediately thought of the 2 ancient puppets he got, and his heart started burning. They were the top secrets of the dwarves. How powerful were they? He flashed into the backyard of the Golden castle and took out the 2 huge ancient puppets. It has been countless years, but their surface was still as clear as a mirror. There was not a single scratch on them. “Commander spirit, do you know what these two puppets are?” Abel connected to his headmaster badge and asked. “Headmaster, information found! They are the puppet kings of the land, the most powerful war puppet!” Soon the commander spirit gave out a reply. “Commander spirit, can you control them?” Abel asked again. “Headmaster, you have the permission to use all land weapons. All you need to do is to supply them with energy!” The commander spirit said. “Commander spirit, is there a user manual?” Abel gazed forward and couldn’t see any energy box. Soon, a basic user guide was transferred to his power of the will. He flashed onto the shoulder of a puppet king and pressed on a hidden button. Immediately, an energy socket was exposed. According to the manual, the puppet kings would only take in top-level gems. Abel directly dumped 200 top-level gems into. Maybe the dwarves wouldn’t do that even for all 20 of their ancient puppets. At the end of the day, Abel was the only one in the world who couldn’t care less about gems. After the socket was filled, the body of the puppet king began to shake as the commander spirit shot out an energy wave. “Headmaster, you now have the highest authority for this puppet king!” The commander spirit replied after a minute. Abel unleashed his power of the will and connected to the puppet king. Its spirit was located in the head, and he could control them through it. Of course, the best thing about them was that they could fight autonomously with a single command. Since their spirits were made for war, they were better than any manual operator. Abel did the same to the second puppet and obtained the highest authority as well. “I’ll call you Land 1 and I’ll call you Land 2!” Abel divided his power of the will and named the puppets. The puppets were both more than 30 meters tall, and to Abel’s surprise, they suddenly bowed. He didn’t know how powerful their fighting ability was, but Abel did not have the space to test them out in his backyard. He put them back in his portal bag with a flash and arrived at Dark World’s Lut Gholein desert through a scroll of town portal. It was the most deserted place of the Dark World. He could test out anything. He let out Land 1 and pointed at a mountain made out of stone. “Land 1, attack that mountain!” Land 1 turned its gaze on the peak, and its arms turned into 2 swords with vicious energy gushing out from its body. With a blast, both of its legs dashed forward, leaving a deep footprint on the ground. It leaped hundreds of meters above ground and heavily struck down on the mountain with its swords. It was just like the Barbarians’ jumping attack, and 2 deep scary slices were left on the mountain. However, it would not stop until the enemy was destroyed. Land 1 began to spin the swords on its hand turned them into a hurricane of swords. It was chilling looking at a 30 meters tall monster doing this. Dust and stones were sent flying from the mountain, and Abel could no longer make out what was going on. All he could hear was the ear-piercing sound of metals hitting rocks. By that point, Abel was certain how powerful the puppet king of the land was. With his command, Land 1 returned and stood still in front of him. Abel gazed at the iron swords that stemmed from its hand. There was not a single scratch. He then turned towards the mountain. After the dust settled, a big chunk of it was gone. It might have fully disappeared if he gave it a bit more time. That was only 1 puppet king of the land. Imagine 20 of them charging at once. What could have possibly stopped them! Abel didn’t know, but a king of the land puppet could only unleash such powerful mobility and strength with a spirit in control. The dwarves were controlling them manually. Their power would be dictated by how skillful their operators are, The dwarves also made some giant war machines for their puppets to use. Therefore, thinking the dwarves could fully unleash their puppet king of the land’s power through a manual operation was almost impossible. In other words, the dwarves’ countless years of research could not go beyond the skill of a single operator. If they saw the true power of a puppet king of the land, like the ones given out to Abel, they would realize just how bare their understanding was. Suddenly, something came across Abel’s mind as he quickly flashed towards the shoulder of the puppet king and opened the energy socket. One of the 200 gems was almost used up. Abel was stunned at how much energy this puppet used. Top-level gems were very rare in the Central continued, so he couldn’t help but wonder if the dwarves were accumulating top-level gems in secret. After all, most of the gems in the world were dug up by the dwarves. If Abel didn’t have his Horadric Cube, he too would be accumulating gems for those puppets like crazy. Still, Abel was very happy about the result. He didn’t know how well a puppet king would do against a powerful professional, but it would be a nightmare for any castle. Afterward, Abel put the puppet king back in his holy portal bag and returned to the golden castle. “Circle spirit, open a 40 meters tall underground space and set up some protection circles around it!” Abel immediately connected to the circle spirit. “Yes master!” 2000 worker puppets began to emerge from a secret inventory of the castle. Just like that, a huge construction had begun. Even without any dwarves, those workers puppets had finished the work in 3 days with the research spirit and circle spirit in command. The digging alone only took a day, so most of the time was actually dedicated to setting up the magic circles. Afterward, Abel placed the 2 puppet kings in that underground space. The golden castle was never the strongest in terms of attack power, but finally, it gained a leg up. Abel given the control of those puppets to the circle spirit and research spirit. When needed, they would definitely give his enemy a surprise.

Chapter 1186 - Chaos Sanctuary Chapter 1186: Chaos Sanctuary The wind was getting breezy by the time October rolled around. Although a change in weather wouldn’t affect a professional like Abel too much, it was still nice to relax on his Starlight protection circle with a glass of juice in his hand. A few months of peace in the Central went by, and the conflicts in the front line had subsided. The most the Holy Kingdom did was unleash some attack on the second and third lines of battlefields, but never any large-scale operation. The holy kingdom had taken a big hit, and everyone applauded the wizard union for their action. However, Abel knew one thing that no one did. The reason why the Holy Kingdom subsided their operation was because of the lack of Holy crystals. Still, Abel also enjoyed a moment of peace alongside everyone. Every night he went into the Dark World, and every day he made potions in his Golden castle. He was at the pinnacle of being a rank 22 wizard. Soon he would level up. Abel was making his way to the Chaos Sanctuary in the Dark World, and the battles were only going to get more intense. Like the sunset, Abel’s thirst for battle increased once again. After hundreds of years of endless battles in the Dark World, maybe he was the most war-experienced professional in the Central Continent. His blood burned as he watched the sunset. When the time arrived, he returned to his training room. At that moment, everyone in the castle knew it was Abel’s training time. No one would bother him. Abel stepped into the blue portal and immediately sensed a change in energy, but he did not stay for long as he directly teleported to the River of Flaming. It was the closest teleportation circle to the Chaos Sanctuary. Afterward, he began to flash on the lava and burned up rocks. He killed all the hell creatures along the way, so the place was safe nevertheless. But still, he had on his frozen armor, energy shield, and bone armor. Also was also wearing his invisible cape with his power of the will increasing to the range of 3000 meters through its crown. Even with the distortion of lava, he could still reach his power of the will out for 500 meters. Abel kept his speed and finally saw the Chaos Sanctuary emerging. He flashed in it and immediately sensed the energy of hell creatures around him. It was time for battle. He let out his 12 spirit guardian knights, spirit guardian wizards, and mud monster with the death qi of his druid soul. He then unleashed the natural force of his druid soul and summoned his Grey bear and top-level beasts. Finally, he waved his hand and summoned Frankenstein, Mad knight Bruce, and legendary Knight Wale. They were only his basic forces since he couldn’t summon any large size beasts in this tight space. Of course, he was also using his angel body to fight. But after a moment, he got another idea. His angel body was controlled by his human power of the will, and it could appear 1500 meters from him in the Central Continent without the help of his mysterious crown. But in the Chaos Sanctuary, it could only appear 500 meters from Abel, even with his mysterious crown. Still, it was enough for Abel to unleash it beside a hell creature out of thin air and unleash a strike. All Abel needed was to perfect the transition. With this in mind, his druid soul could keep using spells while utilizing the super strikes of his angel body. As for now, Abel never encountered any hell creature who could withstand a single strike from it. “I see you!” Not long after Abel summoned his beast, he saw an Oblivion knight approaching with a group of Doom knights following. He immediately cast the aging curse to slow it down, and mad knight Bruce unleashed the preaching aura. A green glow emerged below the Oblivion knight. Legendary knight Wale did not get involved immediately. Instead, he let the Spirit Guardian Knights strike first with their spirit swords. Abel kept his eyes out. Frankenstein and the 12 spirit guardian wizards also began their spells. He couldn’t let his summons make close attacks carelessly. He had to make sure his enemy did not have a rebound ability first. Once he was not careful, and 2 spirit guardian knights were directly turned into skeletons during their attack. Luckily the spirit guardian knights could flash, and they were not that hard to summon again, so they were the best for testing out his enemies. It would be a huge hit for Abel if Mad knight Bruce or legendary knight Wale were killed by rebound force. The Doom Knights behind the Oblivion Knights began their spells. Abel immediately commanded the 2 spirit guardian knights who died the most to flash next to Doom knights. Their goal was not to kill those Doom knights but to make an attack pose to test out if they had any rebound force. At the same time, Abel cast another aging curse and slowed them down. Bang! Their swords made contact, and a strange glow appeared above the 2 spirit guardian knights. Abel immediately commanded them to stop, but it was too late. A Doom knight unleashed another strike, and one of his spirit guardian knights was turned into pieces. “Damn it!” Abel grunted. He had to summon a spirit guardian knight to reconnect with its soul again. Despite how strong his soul was by that point, he was still bound to each of his spirit guardian knights emotionally, even for newly summoned ones. The other spirit guardian knight stopped in time. As far as Abel could tell, there was only one Doom knight out of the 12 with a rebound ability. Therefore, he fixed his age curse on it and unleashed his 2 most powerful spells. The “blizzard” and “meteoroids.” In a second, the spells all landed on that Doom knight. Frankenstein also knew it would change its target and followed up on that Doom knight with its own blizzard and meteoroids as well. After 10 seconds of endless spells, the Doom knight dropped dead. With the only knight with rebound ability gone, legendary knight Wale and Mad knight Bruce unleashed their charge to clean up the remaining hell creatures. Abel also unleashed his Angel body, and a pure white light struck down on a Doom knight. How powerful was that strike? Abel couldn’t tell, but that Doom knight was immediately turned into ash. However, there was one thing, it seemed like the soul of hell creatures were burned alongside the strike as well. Maybe the power of light was catastrophic to them. This was why Abel didn’t like using his angel body. He wanted the souls of hell creatures to make soul potions. Of course, he was also afraid of the rebound force. The powerful attack of his angel body would become his worst nightmare if it was met with a rebound. Abel didn’t know what would happen to his druid soul if his angel body was killed or if his human body would be affected. Therefore, he would only use his angel body on spell casting hell creatures or powerful bosses, given it is a safe situation, of course. After all the Doom knights were dead, the oblivion knight lost the spell support, and the following battle became a breeze. Abel retracted his angel body and cast another aging curse. Afterward, he pointed at the dead bodies of doom knights and unleashed a corpse explosion. Bang! Bang! Bang! The Oblivion knight dropped dead, and the battle ended. The only loss Abel took was losing a spirit guardian knight from the rebound. Unless Abel’s summons were killed in an instant, he could normally revive them with his potions. Still, he could not let his guard down. In the following days of battle in the river of flame, he encountered many dangerous situations. For example, hell creatures flying out of lava, the flame explosion of hell, and the surprise self-destruction of hell creatures. No matter how powerful Abel was, he only had one life at the end of the day. Abel did not even check the rewards he got. Those oblivion knights didn’t have much other than a long blade corroded by hell anyway. Each battle was breathtaking. There was not a single weak hell creature around. If Abel wasn’t a rank 22 with 3 professions at once, or if he didn’t have so many powerful summonses as support, there was no way he could even make it through. Afterward, Abel summed a skeleton from the corpse of a doom knight and merged it with a spirit wolf to form a new spirit guardian knight. Before the new spirit guardian knight returned to the team, it picked up the gears from the dead spirit guardian knight and put them on its body.

Chapter 1187 - Bound Chapter 1187: Bound After 2 more battles, Abel saw a patch of light in front of him. Although there were the external flames of hell flickering all over the Chaos Sanctuary, what was in front seemed even more spooky. Abel felt his heart drop. He knew what he was about to face, but it was his destination. So he carefully kept making his way forward. It was the center of the Chaos Sanctuary. The glow was coming from the lack of lava which had a giant pentagram on top. There were no hell creatures around. They seemed scared of this area. Abel knew where he was, of course. It was where the Diablo was hidden. If Abel ignited the Pentagram, it would be summoned. The Diablo was the most powerful Hell Creature he encountered so far, and he only gained the confidence to face it after his crazy level-ups as a rank 22 wizard with countless powerful summons as support and his angel body. However, summoning the Diablo was no simple process. He had to ignite the 3 magic circles beside it and kill all the hell creatures first. Abel did not hesitate. He walked towards the giant magic circle on the far left. Immediately, hundreds of Oblivion knights, Doom Knights, and Venom Lords charged Abel. This time, he took it safe and directly cast a Bone Wall to stop them. He stopped his summons and unleashed a spell attack on those hell creatures with Frankenstein and the 12 spirit guardian wizards. Mad knight Bruce ignited the Holy Freeze, and all the hell creatures were slowed down. Legendary Knight Wale also unleashed his ‘fate,’ and the resistance of the hell creatures immediately dropped. Abel was utilizing the terrain. His tactic was to block the little passage those hell creatures were coming out of. As long as his bone wall could sustain, those hell creatures had no chance. When the first hell creature dropped dead, Abel unleashed a corpse explosion. Flesh and blood were blasted into the sky, and the fiery shockwave made even more hell creatures drop dead. Abel loved it when the hell creatures without long-range attacks gather in a tight spot. It saved him a lot of time, and he could fully gather his power with Frankenstein and the spirit guardian wizards. Finally, all the hell creatures were dead. But still, he still kept his eyes out as he made his way forward. It was at that moment. He felt a sense of hunger. He couldn’t help but give out a bitter smile. He had been battling for hours on end for a day. Since there was no sunlight in the Chaos Sanctuary, the passage of time seemed almost unnoticeable. After all these years, he was experienced with hell creatures, and he knew what the best method of dealing with each type was. The scariest thing about hell creatures was defense, especially the close-range attack types such as the Oblivion Knights. Each of them took a long time to kill. Even with the exploding corpse, Abel was in it for a long ride. He took out a battle of hunger potion, and he was ready for the next 10 days once again. However, seeing how the battle was progressing, Abel decided to take a break. More important than killing hell creatures was resting and training, so he returned to head back to the Rogue Encampment. He was about to level up as a wizard, and his angel body was growing by the day. He took out a scroll of the town portal and arrived at the Pandemonium Fort. Though it’s short distance teleportation circle, he returned to the Rogue Encampment. It was almost nighttime—time for meditation for his human body and sword training for his angel body. Afterward, his human body took a rest as his angel body continued to train through the night. Early next morning, his angel body to his human body before he woke up. It was another day of lonesome batting and training. It was the sacrifice of success that no one in the Central Continent knew about Abel. After all, he was walking on the edge of life when everyone else was sleeping. Abel arrived at the side of a river and washed away the dread before resuming his battle in the Chaos Sanctuary. The murderous scent remained, and it would not go away unless he killed every hell creature there. It was not a pleasant smell with a ground full of dead bodies, but there was a strand of holiness to the place under the flicker of light penetrated from the giant crystal window. Of course, Abel only had time to admire the scenery since he killed so many hell creatures along the way. He took a deep breath and summed his summons once again. The following battle would not be easy. He did not immediately ignite the other giant pentagram in the center of the Chaos Sanctuary. Instead, he commanded his Grey bear, Mad knight Bruce, and Legendary knight Wale to block in front of him. The spirit guardian knights formed the second line of defense while the spell caster stood far from the back. When their formation was set, Abel reached his power of will forward. As soon as it was connected with the first summoning magic circle of the pentagram, a red glow emerged with a strange magic pattern. He then turned to the second summoning magic circle, but before the other strange pattern even emerged, a red light flashed, and a group of Venom lords was dashing towards him. They were extremely fast, and there was a Dark-Gold level Venom Lord on the lead. But Abel was prepared. Mad knight Bruce immediately unleashed a Holy Freeze and slowed them down. Abel then followed up with an aging curse to slow them down even more. Legendary knight Wale, on the other hand, unleashed his support aura and charged into those Venom Lords. Since they could only do fire attacks, they could do much to Legendary Knight Wale. Of course, that was only because there were no other types of hell creatures around, and they were drastically impacted by the Holy Freeze and Aging Curse. Still, Abel didn’t want Knight Wale to take a risk. A white light flashed, and his angel body appeared in front of the Dark Gold Venom Lord with a sword. His target was set, and a powerful strike was unleashed. However, it was not enough to kill a dark gold hell creature in an instant. All it did was knock it back for a few steps. But still, it created an opening for the following attacks. Abel’s angel body kept knocking it back as it tried to spill out its most powerful flame attack, but the Holy Freeze and Aging curse got the best of it. Abel’s angel body increased his speed, and his sword almost turned into a wave of silver. The venom lord was helpless—all it could do was take the attack as it came. The true power of the angel body was on full display, which was never shown against weaklings. Abel’s sword training was also paying off. His wings already did wonders to his speed, and it only doubled with his angel sword. The other Venom lords wanted to help, but they were stopped by Knight Wale. Finally, countless cuts emerged on the body of that Venom Lord, and its scream grew weaker and weaker. It was at that moment, Abel stopped his angel body and flashed behind the Venom Lord with his human body with chains of lightning in his hands. In a few breaths, 10 lightning strikes landed on the Venom Lord, and it dropped dead with a final scream. A grey soul then flew out and entered the Horadric cube on Abel’s left arm. It was the reason why Abel couldn’t let his angel body finish its attack and burn up the soul with it. The soul of a dark gold boss was too good to go to waste, each of them was basically an ability potion. It was a shame, such a powerful Dark Gold servant of the Diablo didn’t even get to unleash a strike before it was taken down by Abel. With their Dark Gold leader dead, the following hell creatures had no chance. Abel’s angel body did not keep going. Instead, he turned to the special grey belt on the dead Dark Gold venom Lord. It was sparkling in gold, unlike anything else. A flash emerged from Abel’s hand, and he snatched the belt with telekinesis. In an instant, his world stone identified the name of this belt. Razortail. It was a sharkskin belt with a silver buckle. It looked simple, but its vintage texture and golden glow gave out an extraordinary feel.

Chapter 1188 - Dark Gold Reward Chapter 1188 - Dark Gold Reward Abel looked at the Razortail on his hand and admired the wealth a Dark Gold boss in the Chaos Sanctuary had. For some reason, he rarely got any rewards from other hell creatures in the Dark World. Most of it was damaged by the passage of time, whether they were white, blue, or gold. They might look new on the hell creatures, but once their possessor was dead and their energy of hell faded, it would return to the useless object it was. The only ones remaining were Dark Gold gears. Each one was totally unique. They were the Holy object of the Dark World. Although the armor on that dead Dark Gold Lord of Terror was also Dark Gold, Abel knew it was useless looking at how badly it was damaged. This was why Abel dedicated his time to making rune words gear. Despite how powerful and unique Dark Gold gears were, no one could possibly know where most of them would end up after so many years. The most powerful ability of the Razortail was the piercing attack. With an added piercing attack, Razortail was ideal for characters that specialized in ranged weapons. Razortail's pierce bonus stacks with bonuses inherent to weapons. It was too bad it was most effective on long spears, which were rare in the Central Continent. Abel directly handed the Razortail to his Angel body. The 150% defense was still very useful to his safety. What he lacked was a powerful bow. If not, attacks like that wouldn't do anything to hell creatures. He retrieved his angel body and walked towards the other summon circle near the window of the Chaos Sanctuary. He reached his power of the will forward, and the terrains were clear to him. The lava lake had divided the area, and there was a passage aside. He never underestimated hell creatures, so he would always try to keep his distance. Time was not a factor because each second counted into his training. Soon, he saw a few spooky-looking storm casters flying towards him from the other side. Their attacks were not powerful, but they would be done once you got close to them. Knight Wale charged forward. He unleashed a revenge combo strike, and those storm casters were dead in no time. Abel's side of the lava lake had no more hell creatures, so he made his way forward. In a hundred meters, there were more oblivion knights and Lord of Terror waiting for him. Although there were some doom knights as well, both Lord of Terror and oblivion knights were close-ranged hell creatures. They would be completely exposed to Abel and Frankenstein's spells as soon as they charged forward. Utilizing the terrains in a fight was thrilling. They screamed in agony as soon as they crossed the lava lake. Since Abel was quite close to the passage, those stupid hell creatures had no choice but to face him directly. Abel and Frankenstein didn't need to worry about mana in the Dark World. Not only was their recovery rate extremely fast, but the spirit guardian knight captain also had a rune word 'insight' on its hand. Under a level 17 mediation aura, they had endless amounts of mana. Since hell creatures had a diverse amount of resistance to elements, Abel needed many types of attacks in order to fully utilize the terrain. Just like the Lord of Terrors and oblivion knights—for example, fire attacks were completely useless to them. As for the Storm caster, lightning attacks couldn't do any damage. Therefore, Abel and Frankenstein had to use a combination of fire and ice in their attacks. Time slowly passed by, and hell creatures kept dropping dead, with Abel and Frankenstein causally casting spells. When half of the hell creatures were dead, Frankenstein suddenly flashed to the other side of the lava lake. The hell creatures were immediately attracted as he flashed into the corner of the area. Attracting hell creatures was an art. If you were too close, they could be able to break your flash, but if you were too far, they wouldn't be interested. Frankenstein was the only one in Abel's team who mastered this ability. It was a risky move, but only for normal wizards. After all, Frankenstein's body was almost indestructible. That body was a surprise discovery. Who could have possibly imagined using an ancient puppet as a body and succeeded in doing so? Unless your physical attacks could break an ancient puppet, you would not be able to hurt Frankenstein. Of course, it was not resistance to elements, but that was also not much of a problem to Frankenstein as a law-defying wizard with many gears as support. As Frankenstein kept flashing, hell creatures chased after it in a frenzy as they roared. It was their instinct to chase after anything with life force. Frankenstein let his distance perfectly. Even the spirit guardian wizards could not do something like that. Abel kept his eyes on the other side happily and cast his spells. In an instant, lightning, flames, and ice storms filled the area from above and below. Frankenstein's job was finished. He returned to Abel's and cast his strongest spells as well. Abel did not let his guard down despite the breezy battle. When all the hell creatures were dead, he carefully made his way forward once again. He had a power of the will range of 500 meters, but that was not included within the lava, so storm casters could fly out of it for a surprise attack any time. He looked into the passage and saw the summoning circle. He scanned with his power of the will, and a red glow emerged from the circle, and a strange magic pattern began to flicker. But Abel kept his eyes on the surroundings. Soon, a group of oblivion knights with a Dark Gold doom knight as their leader emerged. He knew he was in for a brutal fight as soon as he noticed the aura below that oblivion knight. After all, there were no weaklings in the Chaos Sanctuary. If not, Abel didn't need to be so careful, even though killing him instantly wasn't really possible. With large amounts of recovery potions, he could recover no matter how badly he was hurt. The thing he worried about the most was the rebound force of some oblivion knight. It was a nightmare for the close-range fighters in his team, and he didn't want to lose any single one of them. When he saw that dark gold doom knight approaching, he immediately wrapped his team in his power of the will and flashed back to the other side of the lake. Frankenstein began its attack once again as the group of oblivion knights charged forward with their flaming aura. The most eye-catching hell creature was still that dark gold doom knight. It was the only one with a magic staff, and its entire body was glowing in dark gold. Frankenstein flashed towards the side of Abel, but it was at that moment that Dark Gold doom knight waved his hand, and a red cloud of curse emerged above them. In an instant, Abel felt his defense drop. But still, Abel didn't care too much about a curse that didn't give him any damage directly as he began his spells once again. Oblivion knights were resistant to fire, so he doubled down on lightning and ice spells. That Dark Gold Doom knight went mad when it was attacked. It waved its magic star frantically, and all kinds of curses appeared above Abel and his team. 'Attack absorb', 'aging', 'lower defence', 'life taking', and 'damage increase' appeared on Abel. At the same time, it kept replenishing the life force of its doom knights and added bone armor on itself. From time to time, it charges forward for a strike. But still, they had to engage in a close battle in order for the knights to achieve an instant kill with a rebound force. Therefore Abel should be fine as long as he kept his distance. Time slowly passed, and the battle was coming to an end. Finally, the Dark Gold Doom knight self-destructed, and a grey soul flew towards Abel. Abel flashed towards the dead Dark Gold Doom knight. The place was filled with scattered pieces of flesh and dead bodies. The disgusting smell it gave out was enough to make anyone want to puke. Even Abel didn't want to look at it for too long. After some detailed searching, Abel found a pair of dark gold gloves among the pieces of flesh. With telekinesis, the golden gloves vanished from the flesh and appeared on Abel's hand. Due to the special attribute of dark gold gears, it was not affected by the blood at all. Abel's world stone immediately gave out a name: Soul Drainer. Defense: 149 120% Enhanced Defense 7% Mana Stolen Per Hit 7% Life Stolen Per Hit -50 To Monster Defense Per Hit 8% Chance To Cast Level 3 Weaken On Striking There was no need to explain that it was a rare dark gold gear. Even Abel only had a pair of normal gloves. But he was not planning to use it on himself. It would be too much of a waste. Instead, he handed it to his angel body. As long as he didn't get killed in an instant, he would be able to take down enemies even from the same rank.

Chapter 1189 - New Summon Chapter 1189 - New Summon Abel did not ignite the third summoning circle immediately. Instead, he turned to the Rogue Encampment as the sun was going down. He first headed to the Oaktree to check up on the high elves and the water spirit fruit trees. They kept growing in number. There were more than 10 types of spirit fruit trees, but Abel had only ever taken water spirit fruits from it. He didn't want to undermine their growth, and he didn't want to plant any more trees. Of course, by that point, all professionals were crazy for his water spirit fruit juice. Still, his 3000 water spirit fruit trees had grown to 7000 water spirit trees with the help of the third goddess spring water and the high elves. Combined with other types of spirit fruit trees, he had more than 10,000 trees which were more than enough for the high elves even if their population kept growing. Spirit fruit trees were not easy to manage. Each needed a professional gardener and the perfect environment to produce a small number. Abel would not be able to have so many if the Dark World's weather was not like spring all year round, and so many high elves to nourish them with his third goddess spring water. The sky was getting dark, so it was time for meditation. He took out an elite light gem, intelligence fruit, and mana gathering circle. After an hour of meditation, he felt like he was just a hair away from leveling up. He looked at his drained light gem and felt a little disappointed. His angel body still hadn't completed his training and didn't want to dwell around. He felt like there was something he needed to do, which was why he came to the Oak tree. Suddenly something struck him: he immediately flashed towards a mana gathering circle where the holy priest bone card was. It had been half a year, and just as he expected, it was fully recovered. He stepped into the mana gathering circle and took out the bone card with a resurrection target in mind. Of course, it was Wizard Luce from the Snow spirit mountain. Wizards were more useful in the Dark World than close-range fighters, especially a law-defying wizard. Abel took out Wizard Luce's dead body from his personal storage box. Its body was perfect other than its broken neck and metal arm. Abel was very happy. He first recovered its broken neck with a preaching aura. But, since the life force of wizards was not as powerful as a holy knight, it would take a little longer. Abel didn't want Wizard Luce to die again with a broken neck after he gave it a new soul. Just for safety, he gave it another full recovery potion. The following job was simple. With the resurrection ability of the holy bone card, a body with only its battle instincts was resurrected. Afterward, the holy one card cracked again, and Abel put it back in the mana gathering circle once again to slowly recover. He then turned to Wizard Luce and fed it a soul potion to give it a new soul. Faint energy of soul emerged from Wizard Luce, and Abel signed a contract with it. Soon, a soul chain was formed. Abel was very happy. Maybe no one had more powerful summons than him. As you know, each summoned being needed a full submission of the soul from another. But even if you could get a powerful force to submit, each person had a limited amount of contracts in their soul. Therefore, every professional would pick who they contract with extreme caution to fully utilize the space. A weak soul always took up less space, so Abel used that to his advantage by signing contracts with his summons before they became powerful. Another professional would not have enough soul storage even if they could sign a contract with a summon as powerful as Doff the Beamon or legendary Knight Wale. Abel then handed hundreds of soul potions and full recovery potions to Wizard Luce, and its growth began. Finally, Wizard Luce was no longer the Wizard from Snow spirit mountain. He was reborn. "I'll call you Tony, welcome to the team!" Abel smiled. Of course, Wizard Luce… or Tony, did not reply. The outside world was still a blur to him. The only thing he knew was he would reply to Abel. After all, the bond of the soul was the most important. Since Abel was with his summons since their creation, their loyalty was stronger than anything. The soul contract was just a way for them to strengthen their communication. Wizard Tony didn't know how to speak, but it still showed a strong sense of happiness to his owner. Abel connected to Wizard Tony's soul and knew he was an ice wizard. That was no surprise. The inherited object of the Snow Spirit Mountain was an ice bed, after all. It seemed like Abel had to let Wizard Tony master another law. A single element was too limited in the Dark world. It was no challenge. Abel had a law of fire guide, the eternal flame of hell, and finally, he could ask the tree of life to replicate a new wizard pattern in WIzard Tony's soul. At least Abel had replicated 3 wizard patterns in his own soul and became a rank 22 wizard with no problem. The only issue was time, so Wizard Tony might not be able to use the law of fire in this coming battle with the Diablo. He then took out a full set of gear he prepared—the rune word spirit sword, spirit shield, preaching armor, and knowledge helmet. In an instant, Wizard Tony's power took a big leap forward and became the most powerful rank 21 wizard. He then handed Wizard Tony some hunger potions, healing potions, mana potions, antidotes, and more. Wizard Tony was not Frankenstein. He still had a normal human body, and he needed food. It was already midnight, and Abel went into his Ankara tent for a rest while Wizard Tony began to train next to his angel body. The Ankara tent was a barrier to the outside world, so Abel would not hear a sound no matter how much noise they were making. Early next morning, Abel retracted his angel body and put Wizard Tony to his monster ring, and set off towards the River of Flame once again to resume his battle. There was only one summoning circle, and it was the day he ignited it. He summoned his team once again. The only thing different was with Wizard Tony at the back. They got into their formation and slowly made their way forward while keeping their eyes out. In turn, they arrived at a space filled with every single type of hell creature in the Chaos Sanctuary. Oblivion knight, Doom Knight, Lord of Terror, and Storm casters. Abel immediately stopped his spirit guardian knight, and they guarded in front of him. Knight Bruce unleashed the faith aura, and the defense and elemental resistance of those hell creatures immediately dropped. Knight Wale then followed with a Holy freeze to slow them down. The 12 spirit guardian wizards, on the other hand, got into a row and unleashed a chain of lightning. Of course, if knight Bruce did not ignite its aura to lower their resistance to elements, there was no way a spell attack like that would do much to those hell creatures, especially those Storm Casters. Abel, Frankenstein, and Wizard Tony were at the very back. They were the main power. Abel had a grey bear next to him which added an even stronger layer of defense. They slowly made their way forward as those hell creatures charged towards like crazy after smelling the scent of life. The first line of hell creatures was immediately covered in frost, and 12 strikes of lightning landed on them. The spirit guardian knight captain's rune word insight kept replenishing mana for the team as Abel and the 2 other law-defying wizards intensified the attacks. From time to time, Abel would cast an aging curse and bone wall to slow down those hell creatures even more. Soon, the first line of hell creatures dropped dead. More charged forward, but they were also met with the same faith. The doom knights and storm caster also cast their spells attack, but they were blocked by Abel's spirit guardian knights. Even if they managed to go through, they were blocked by his holy knights. Of course, Abel could only do this with unlimited amounts of full recovery potions. The battle was getting boring and repetitive. As the hell creatures kept dropping dead, Abel and his team began to make their way forward. Abel kept his spells going. By that point, he didn't even need to aim. All he needed was to track those hell creatures down with his power of the will. Abel knew the most important factor in the Chaos Sanctuary was not their attack power but the holy knights' aura. With the Holy Freeze in combination with the faith aura, the defense of those hell creatures took a big hit, and they had no chance of charging. This was also because they had not run into any Dark Gold bosses yet.

Chapter 1190 - Level Up Chapter 1190 - Level Up Abel kept pushing deeper in his formation. He loved battling in big open areas. It allowed him and his team to keep their safe distance. As time went on, he finally saw the passage in front of him and the dilemma within it. There were not many hell creatures around, mostly just Oblivion knights and Doom knights, so he didn't need to keep a tight formation. Abel and Frankenstein flashed into a passage with the grey bear in front of them. The reason he didn't bring Wizard Tony was that he was still new to the team. With a grey bear in front, all the attacks from the knights were counteracted. As for their curses, they couldn't do anything to law-defying wizards. Of course, Abel was confident to enter because there were no Dark Gold bosses around. The battle ended quickly, and not a single knight was left. They ignored the summoning pattern and flashed towards another passage. There were not many hell creatures in that passage as well. Most of them had already been attracted outside and killed. With chains of lightning coming out of Abel's hands, those hell creatures could do anything but twitch. There was no chance for them to even move, let alone attack. Finally, Frankenstein joined in with a blizzard, and all the hell creatures were covered in frost and electric arcs. In a minute, the battle was over. All the hell creatures were dead. However, Abel did not care about the result. Instead, he ignited the summoning circle in this passage and returned to the other one and ignited it as well. Suddenly a beam of light emerged from the cracks of those passages, and a group of storm casters emerged with a dark gold storm caster as the leader. Storm casters were not powerful, so Abel directly gave out a command. White light flashed on knight Wale, and he charged towards the dark gold Storm caster like a beam. A giant force locked the dark gold Storm caster back, and Knight Wale followed with a shield strike. Knight Bruce unleashed a flaming aura and charged towards that dark gold Storm caster as well. By the time that Storm Caster regained its consciousness again, it was met with another shield strike. For a long-range hell creature vulnerable to physical attacks, it is helpless against 2 powerful holy knights, even as a dark gold boss. Vertigo followed the attacks. The holy knights took turns, and the dark gold Storm Caster had no chance of escaping. As for the normal Storm casters without their leader, they were surrounded easily by Abel, Frankenstein, Wizard Tony, and the 12 spirit guardian knights. Since 12 spirit guardian wizards could only do lightning attacks, they did not make a move. Abel kept his eyes out on his teammates. He would give them a full recovery potion each time their health began to drop. His task in the Chaos Sanctuary of the day was about to finish. He was about to reach a state of fulfillment, so he was not planning to face Diablo just yet. The state of fulfillment could bring him an extra bit of power when facing a powerful boss such as the Diablo, even if it was not that noticeable on the surface. On top of that, the song of life that came afterward might even help him on his future level-ups. The normal Storm casters kept dropping dead, and Abel's team began to gather force on the dark gold Storm caster. Soon, the battle ended. Abel did not use his Angel body as it might kill that dark gold Storm caster by mistake. If it did, that soul of a dark gold storm caster would do to waste. After all, his angel body could unleash tens of powerful strikes in a single breath. Abel turned to the dead body of that dark gold Storm caster and saw some golden sparkles. He used telekinesis, and a bracelet appeared on his hand. Highlord's wrath Lightning Resist +35% Adds 1-30 Lightning Damage 20% Increased Attack Speed +1 to All Skills 9% Chance of Deadly Strike Attacker Takes Lightning Damage of 15 It was a decent bracelet for a long-range professional. So, of course, it was perfect for his angel body. He would only give it to his other summons once his angel body was geared up. After all, it was his body. Its power was his power. The only thing wasted was that +1 to all skills. His angel body did not have a single skill. As he gazed at the Highlord's wrath, he suddenly heard deep laughter coming from the Chaos Sanctuary. It was not pleasant laughter—in fact, it seemed arrogant and murderous. Abel's face turned pale. He knew the Diablo would emerge from the pentagon once all the summoning circles were ignited. But he was not planning to fight, so he took out a scroll of the town portal and returned to the Pandemonium Fort. It was a smooth day of battle, and it was the only afternoon. He used this time to make some potions and gears. He could easily make a golden level gear with his forgery skills, if not a rune word gear. Not a single blacksmith in the Central Continent could even come close. Golden level gears were already the best the Holy Continent could do. Dark gold ones were only documented in legends. Meanwhile, his angel body kept training. Soon, the sun had set, and it was meditation time. Abel walked into his mana gathering circle and took out 2 top-level light gems. The reason he had an extra one was that he wanted to reach a state of fulfillment. He took a seat on his cushion and entered a state of deep meditation after hundreds of years. He was numb to the external world. All he sensed was pure white energy rushing in his body from the gems. In an hour, he reached the pinnacle of a rank 22 wizard. Finally, he reached a state of fulfillment. All he needed was an opportunity, and he would level up. It was normally the time where a wizard would go into retreat or try different things, such as picking a fight. This process could take tens of years or maybe hundreds of years. Sometimes a wizard could even die in this bottleneck before they even level up. His angel body stopped its saw this. It knew his human body was about to end its meditation. Suddenly, it sensed level-up energy coming from his human body. It seemed like the daunting bottleneck all professionals experienced did not occur on his human body. The angel's body was caught off guard, so it quickly returned to its human form by instinct. Abel could not multitask during a level-up. At least, he couldn't take the risk. It was an expected level up, but he was a god in the Rogue Encampment. Going from a rank 22 wizard to a rank 23 should be a breeze. The 3 rank 22 wizard pattern within Abel's main soul turned into 3 extremely strange energies and gathered around his power of the will. 3 rune pens were formed in his power of the will, and his main soul needed to draw out 3 rank 23 patterns. When the process was complete, the energy of a rank 23 wizard emerged from Abel. A wizard could not control their energy when they first leveled up. It was their signature. ABel opened his eyes with a strange look on his face. How come he didn't go through any bottleneck? How come he leveled up immediately after fulfillment. He turned to his druid soul. His druid and priest profession could only unleash when his Angel body was not around. If the angel body was inside him, his other professions would be overshadowed by its light. Suddenly, the marking of his druid and priest professions also began to change. He knew they were leveling up as well, so all he needed was to give them the energy needed for a rank 23 professional. Since that death qi and natural force could transform into each other, Abel just needed to replenish one of them. But still, Abel shook his head. He did not have time to train as a druid or a priest, and he did not have the energy required. He got those 2 professions by surprise, so he was not planning to go too deep into them. Being a druid or priest only allowed him to access more attacking methods. There was no way he could get enough death qi or natural force in a short amount of time. What bugged him the most was his bottleneck period. Where did it go? Was he going to have a bottleneck during his future level-ups? This was very important to him. After all, he had been stuck at a bottleneck for months when he was an elite wizard.

Chapter 1191 - Diablo Chapter 1191 - Diablo Actually, the reason Abel had leveled up as soon as he was fulfilled was that his Druid soul had merged with the Crystal Angel statue. Unlike the human soul, it was supported by large amounts of faith from the Holy Kingdom. With this in mind, Abel's druid soul was basically like the soul of an angel. Angels were extremely powerful beings. They were legendary even without training. Since Abel's druid soul had a close bond with his human soul, they could mutually affect one another. If the main soul wanted to level up, the druid soul had to do so as well. The main soul's effect on the druid soul would be a long process since it was not easy for the druid soul to level up. However, on the contrary, the druid soul could easily push Abel's main soul into a legendary without a bottleneck. Little did Abel know, the angel body was not only powerful in its fighting power, but there was also this crucial ability. Abel still couldn't figure out why he didn't go through any bottleneck, but he gave up. So it was great news at the end of the day. "Let's go take down Diablo!" He yelled. He felt very good with his level up. Yesterday he was still thinking of leveling up after battling Diablo, but there was no need for that. He was more than prepared as he summoned Doff the Beamon. Doff unleashed a battle cry, and his ability was increased. After feeling the power increase, Abel almost wanted to resurrect a dead mad Barbarian warrior for himself. It was too bad all Barbarians were his followers. He didn't want to hurt them. He arrived at the little teleportation circle and teleported to the River of Flame. After a few flashes, he stopped in front of the Pentagram. He couldn't summon his spirit guardian knight or spirit guardian wizards because their defenses were too weak. If they were not careful, all of them would be destroyed before Abel could even cry about it. Frankenstein, knight Wale, and knight Bruce formed a team, so Frankenstein could flash away with the knights If things were in trouble. Wizard Tony stood as far as possible at the very back as a guard. Abel thought for a moment and summoned 5 immortal ravens as well. They were not powerful, but they could be used as a distraction. Abel finally summoned the grey beat as a close bodyguard. It was the best shield of a druid. Abel then added a frozen armor, energy shield, and bone armor on himself. Seeing everything was set, his confidence was through the roof. The Diablo had no chance! He did not move in a flash, or at least he was not going to. Instead, he sensed the danger in front of him. First Knight Wale ignited the Holy Freeze Aura and charged forward, followed by Knight Bruce with a support aura. It was at that moment. Diablo finally showed itself. At first sight, Abel almost thought it was a giant dragon. It had the body of a black dragon. The only things different were the devil horns on its head and the intense evil energy coming from it. Diablo was very fast, almost as fast as Abel's extra fast. When knight Wale was 200 meters from Diablo, its holy freeze aura slammed again to see it. A blue shockwave lashed out. Just when Abel thought Diablo would slow down, it was affected at all. It was the first time Abel saw a holy freeze aura fail. He didn't know if it was because of the suppression of the Dark World or the power of Diablo. But he was certain that he was in for a hassle. It was at that moment of hesitation, Diablo made a move, and 2 bone prisons appeared around knight Wale and knight Bruce before they even realized it. Knight Wale unleashed a full force Wrath strike and immediately broke the prison. Not because the brine prison was weak but because knight Wale's power On the other hand, Knight Bruce couldn't break its own bone prison even after a few strikes. Suddenly a wave of flames lashed out towards the 2 holy knights. Knight Wale moved quickly, but the flames still managed to brush against it and took one 1/5 of its health away. Abel's heart dropped. What kind of tactic was that? It seemed like the battle instinct of Diablo was to strike first before the defense. As for knight Bruce, it only managed to break the bone prison when the flames were inches in front of him. There was no escape. In a few seconds, its health almost bottomed. Luckily, Abel had a full recovery potion prepared. It was at that moment Frankenstein wrapped knight Bruce in his power of the will and flashed away as far as possible. Diablo turned to knight Wale again, who was frantically charging towards it while kept changing directions. Diablo paused, and a round of flame unleashed from its body towards all directions. Just like the Holy Freeze, there was no way of dodging unless it was beyond its attack range. Since knight Wale was too close, it could only counteract it head-on with a full recovery potion. Abel cast an aging curse, and a cloud of curse emerged above Diablo. However, Diablo immediately escaped the attack range of the cloud before the rain, of course, even began. It was at that moment, Abel saw a pair of dead eyes on Diablo. There was a world stone between them. Just like the supper boss of the past, Diablo was also possessed by the world stone. Abel immediately knew why his tactics were useless. His knights would not be able to do anything if he used up all his recovery potions. Knight Wale shook, and it was back in top condition. Soon it was by the side of Diablo. Diablo did not move. Instead, it was welcoming the fight. Knight Wale unleashed a shield strike. Just when it thought it could knock out Diablo, Diablo did a gentle twist, and the strike missed. Knight Wale immediately followed with a revenge combo strike by instinct. But Diablo remained still and directly unleashed a beam of flames. A big chunk of health was immediately taken away from knight Wale, and it only kept going. Abel knew he could no longer let knight Wale keep going. He couldn't take the risk. He immediately wrapped his power of the will around knight Wale. Since he had the power of the will range of 500 meters, he managed to save Knight Wale at the last moment. Knight Wale reappeared behind the grey bear, and Abel cast a few more spells which were also missed. Diablo was too fast, and its control was too precise. It could almost predict every move of Abel. Even a spell as fast as the chain of lightning was useless. Of course, Abel knew exactly how it felt as a possessor of the world stone as well. It was at that moment. Diablo found its new target: Abel. It quickly charged Abel and unleashed a round of flame followed by a beam of flame. But Abel was not planning to give up just yet. Instead, he cast a blizzard with one hand and a thunderstorm with another to counteract Diablo's attack and strike back. However, to his surprise, Diablo dodged the blizzard with a gentle hop and avoided the thunderstorm with a few turns. It was at that moment the beam of flame arrived in front of Abel's grey bear. He sensed an intense threat, so he directly gave Knight Bruce and his Grey bear a full recovery potion without even thinking. The health of the grey bear had almost bottomed when it counteracted the flames, but it soon recovered with the full recovery potion. As the summon of a druid, a grey bear would be forcefully taken back by the monster ring if it was on the verge of death. As for knight Bruce, Abel then immediately surrounded it with his power of the will and flashed away. A big chunk of health was also taken from knight Bruce when it made contact with the flame. It would be the end of his life if it was not because of the full recovery potion. They reappeared 400 meters out. Abel waved his hand, and a bone wall emerged in front of him, separating him and Diablo. He was not expecting the bone wall to stop Diablo, but it should be able to buy him some time. Abel was not looking good. He didn't even have the chance to leave a mark on his enemy.

Chapter 1192 - Chase Chapter 1192 - Chase At first, Abel was planning to drag out his distance with Diablo by moving in a flash with Knight Wale, but Diablo suddenly did an earth-shaking roar, and an even bigger round of flames shot out from its body. This time it had a range of 800 meters. If Frankenstein did not make a move with Knight Bruce earlier, they would take a big hit. Abel's face changed. He knew how scary the round of fire was, but he was not expecting Diablo to follow through immediately. At that moment, he injected a full recovery potion on himself and knight Wale. He then waved his hand, and the 5 immortal ravens flew towards Diablo to distract it. Before the immortal ravens even began to do their tricks, 6 bone prisons emerged and trapped them. Since they did not have much attack power, breaking a bone prison was almost impossible without Abel's help. Their only advantage was their immortal ability. Another bone wall emerged around Abel and Knight Wale. Abel immediately ignited a flash, but it was too late. The bone wall of the dark world could lock up dimensions. Diablo began to make its way forward, and Abel knew he was doomed once it got closed. He was no longer thinking about how to win. Diablo had perfect control of the world stone, and the power it showed was almost the pinnacle of horror. He just needed a little time for knight Wale to break the bone prison, so he needed to distract Diablo in the meantime. With a gentle wave of his left hand, a body appeared outside of the bone wall and began running. It was the ancient illusionary system, and it was the first time he used it in a battle. Diablo saw what was going on, and its world stone immediately began to calculate which body was the actual body of Abel, but it was not easy. The enemies of the ancients were extremely powerful as well. As Diablo paused for a moment, Knight Wale broke the bone wall, and Abel began to flash away. Even with their distance, he was still affected by the energy of Diablo, and he could only move in a flash for 100 meters. Diablo unleashed a strike on Abel's illusion body scattered into specs of energy. It knew it was tricked, so it roared and immediately chased after the real Abel. Abel realized Diablo was fixed on him no matter how fast he flashed away. Since he could only move 100 meters at a time, this speed was almost useless against Diablo. Diablo was just as fast. They had been in a mess, and it had not shown any signs of fatigue. Diablo would strike from time to time, which Abel and knight wale could only counteract with potions. Abel knew he would be dead if he brought knight Bruce with him as well. But the biggest problem now was the enchantments from knight Wale. It could fade at any moment, and they would be in big trouble if it did. Abel could escape by letting go of knight Wale, but knight Wale would stand no chance by surviving on its own. It was his first legendary summon. It might not be much in the Dark World after being suppressed, but it was almost invincible in the Central Continent. At least he would not be able to take down Knight Wale even if Doff the Beamon and Flying Flame were working together. Abel tried to think of a tactic as he kept flashing. Diablo had no weak points, and it could attack at an alarming rate. Each spell was extremely fast, and its range was so scary even his flash was useless. Most importantly, Diablo's agility was unlike any hell creature. It was invincible. Who could have possibly taken it down? "Who could have possibly taken it down?" Abel immediately thought of the angel's body. It was his only option, but for safety's sake, he gave it the scroll of the town portal. He would escape to another world soon as things were not working out. At an instant, he unleashed his angel body, and it emerged behind his human body with 4 pairs of wings. With the most powerful greats such as the holy sword, holy shield, titan power, Razortail, and Highlord's wrath, it blocked Diablo. "Wale, bring my body to a safe place and protect it!" Abel's voice began to fade from his human body. He had to focus in front of an enemy like this, so he gathered all his consciousness on his angel body to unleash its full power. Knight Wale grabbed his human body and ignited a full charge. Diablo suddenly came to a halt, and the wrath in its heart grew. Even as a demon without a soul, it knew it was facing an angel from the world stone. Diablo roared and immediately chased after Abel's human body while beams of flames shot towards his angel body. Although it was not as fast as Diablo at full speed, Diablo needed to attack and move at the same time. The beam of flame brushed against the angel's body, and Abel felt his body burning, but it only lasted for a few seconds. He scanned his angel body. Only 1/20 of its health was taken away. With the +100 recovery rate of the holy shield, it would recover in a few seconds. The angel body was approaching Diablo, but Diablo would not let it have an easy go. But the angel body was also specialized in close combat. There was nothing else it could do. White light flashed on its holy sword as it struck out. Diablo unleashed a beam of flame to counteract, and the energy of hell gushed towards the angle body. Abel felt his health began to drop, but there was nothing to worry about with the full recovery potion. As long as it did not drop to a critical point, he would continue his strike. Diablo quickly twisted with the power of its world stone, but the speed of the angle body was nothing to mess with. With the support of 4 wings, its speed was almost doubled. Not to mention, with the 200% attack speed increase of the holy sword and 20% attack speed increase of the Highlord's wrath, even the world stone did not have the time to make a perfect judgment. As long as he could leave a scratch on Diablo, it would prove that it was not invincible. Diablo had given him such a hard time he was almost planning to give up, but how could he ever tolerate stopping his progress in the Dark World. Once Diablo appeared in the Rogue Encampment, the foundation of his world would be finished. For a powerful soul no longer bound by hell such as Diablo, there was nothing it wouldn't do other than the analysis of its world stone. Abel's eyes flashed and unleashed 10 combo strikes with his angel body, 2 of which landed on Diablo. Diablo's invincible body began to shake, but this time, it was not within the control of its world stone. It was in that split of a moment where Diablo's body was shaking out of instinct, Abel's angel body had another opportunity. Even though Abel's angel body's health had dropped tremendously, it suddenly began to shoot up again with each strike because of the holy sword's recovery ability. Diablo knew It could no longer escape from the angel body, so it doubled down in its attack and even used its claws from time to time. Under the world stone, Diablo knew it had more health than that little angel. It wouldn't stand a chance if they were just planning to drain each other by stamina.

Chapter 1193 - Tables Turned Chapter 1193 - Tables Turned The fight between Diablo and Abel's angel body reached a point of stability. A claw and flames counteracted each strike from the sword. Both sides were attacking. This was what Abel wanted. Suppose he kept doing hit and run with Diablo. Then, Diablo would have a huge advantage with its world stone. There was no guarantee he could win, but at least his angel body was not draining as much energy with his current tactic. Its dark gold chain gloves had a 7% mana steal and 7% health regain with each strike, so it was sustaining itself at 90% health. Even if it failed, Abe had the full recovery potions as backups. Another ability of the gloves was a -50 defense with each strike, so it was slowly wearing out Diablo. Abel was thrilled. He gave up knight skills ever since he reached the top, but he always loved striking. It was the true manifestation of battle. He also understood why angels were loved by the above. Its recovery rate was extremely fast, even without any supporting gear. Not to mention its scary wings. They were constantly absorbing all kinds of energy from mid-air and turned into light energy that completely defused the energy of hell. Every being needed to absorb energy to survive, but there would be nothing left if 2 powerful forces were viciously slamming against each other. After all, their energy absorption rate was scary. The angel body's wings could ignite all energy around it for an explosion. And the Diablo was no longer satisfied with its flames attack. In a wave, its flames grew crimson red and got even more intense. The angel body's health quickly dropped to 50%, and Abel immediately took a full recovery potion. Diablo immediately knew it was at a disadvantage with that move, and it should change its tactics. It quickly stepped back, but Abel was not going to let the calculation of the world stone take its chance. Diablo's speed stood no chance of escaping, and the sword of Abel's angel body kept landing on its skin even if it did not manage to leave a wound. After all, the scariest thing about the holy sword was the light energy. Each strike was far greater than normal enchantments. Diablo's defense was exposed just when it was about to change tactic, so the angel body took the chance. Abel knew very well there was nothing that could go against a world stone when it came to control. He, too, had a world stone, but it was in his human body. If his angel body had one as well, the battle would be finished already. The angel body had a leg up against the Diablo when it came to both speed and power, as well as endless potions as support. With this, he could have even control over its sword and land a successful strike every time. But at the moment, he could only try his best to forget the knight skills he knew too well and focus on the angel sword techniques. After all, the first weapon he ever held was a knight sword. Sword fighting was in his bones. This fight with Diablo was a perfect opportunity for his angel body to hone in on its sword skill since it always only took one or two strikes to kill a normal hell creature. The angle body was beginning to dominate. With the speed it had, the angel sword technique was unleashing movements unachievable by humans. The angel sword technique could unleash 5 combo strikes at an instant, and each strike landed on the same area on Diablo. It was a chance it gave Abel as it moved back. As they continued to move back and forth, and Abel kept focusing on striking the same area, the skin of Diablo suddenly tore open. Light energy made contact with its black-colored blood and created a sizzling sound. It smelled disgusting. Diablo roared and instinctively unleashed all kinds of attacks on Abel. Maybe the world stone had lost control. Bone prison, rounds of flames, the crimson red beam, and more. The area was almost engulfed in red. Abel had no fear. They were actually not that strong since all those attacks were unleashed at once and did not have the time to build up. His health dropped, but it did not reach a critical level. As for the bone prison, the angel's body could break it with one slash. It was a big hit to Diablo, and it began to focus on retreat. Oh, how the tables have turned. Wasn't Abel the one retreating a moment ago? The holy sword turned into a beam of light and landed on Diablo again and its wound only deepened. It would normally take Diablo a few breaths to heal a wound, but the light energy was giving it a hard time—especially when Diablo was moving vigorously. Black blood flew all over the place. However, the battle did not end here. As the owner of a world stone, it was impossible for the angel body to make a living taking strike even with an open wound. It was at that moment Abel realized the disadvantage of his angel body. It did not have any suppression energy. After all, Abel still had a long way to becoming a truly mature angel. A true angel had no need to suppress their enemies. Just speed and power alone were enough to make an instant kill. The Dark World, on the other hand, would unleash a scary suppression on all legendary beings. The biggest effect this had on the angel's body was that it could not fly. It had no long-range attack ability, so suppressing its power of will was almost useless. Therefore, the angel body was the least affected in the Dark World. If they were fighting in the Central Continent, there was no way Diablo would find itself in a situation like this. The battle slowly proceeded. Abel sensed the passing time and knew the sky was getting dark. However, he was not planning to do his wizard training. He just became a rank 23 wizard. So it would be a good idea to let his power of the will take a break and focus on killing Diablo. Diablo had the body of a demon. It survived for tens of thousands of years in the Dark World without food and drink, so long and vicious battles like this would slow it down or make it tired. On the other hand, the angel body kept absorbing energy from the atmosphere around with its 4 wings, so it too was maintaining top condition. Although it could not sustain for tens of thousands of years like Diablo, fighting endlessly for days was definitely no challenge to it. Abel had decided. He would finish Diablo even if it took him days. Don't underestimate the -50 defense with each strike. A monster's defense rate would drop exponentially once it reached a certain threshold. After a few days, he finally sensed his holy sword making a deeper cut on Diablo. His heart was filled with excitement, and he immediately doubled down on his speed. He landed a strike on Diablo's leag, and it began to shake. Abel took the chance and unleashed a combo strike on the weak point of Diablo. Even the world stone was hopeless.. With a roar, Diablo dropped on the black puddle of blood.

Chapter 1194 - Achived Chapter 1194 - Achived It was at that moment Abel suddenly realized he forgot something. He forgot to kill Diablo with his human body. He was having way too much fun in physical combat. These days of intense battle boosted his angel body's sword mastery to a whole other level. It might have taken him 10 years if he was just practicing by himself. His angel sword techniques were almost perfect, which was a reward on its own. But still, he needed to make up for his mistake. His human body opened its eyes and flashed towards the angel body. The human body carefully reached out some energy into the druid soul to signify it was the one who killed Diablo. Suddenly, the world stone between Diablo's eyes flew into his head and merged with his own world stone like it was returning home. Abel sensed the world stone in his soul getting larger. Maybe he was only one piece away from fully recovering all the world stones. At the same time, he sensed his power increasing from all dimensions. However, he did not have time to examine in detail. As he turned to the dead body of Diablo, countless beams of light shot out and filled up the Chaos Sanctuary. The entire space was lit up in pure white, even overshadowing the red glow of lava. Those lights were made up of the faces of adults, elders, children, male, female, and they were all filled with joy as long as they finally got their relief. Those lights began to sparkle, and Abel felt excitement emerging from his soul. Those were souls trapped by Diablo. Their endless years of torture and pain were what sustained Diablo's power. If Abel never appeared, their pain would continue until eternity. Therefore, the gratitude those souls had for Abel was not something that could be explained by words. They began the song of life, which Abel had heard 3 times at this point. It was a calling from the soul, the deepest gratitude and admiration a being could show. However, this time was the most amount of souls Abel had ever seen singing together. He knew what the song of life signified, so he sat quietly and listened. Time passed, and Abel was in a trance until the song ended. The souls did their final bow and vanished from this world with a smile. After a moment, Abel opened his eyes again. He looked around and realized the Chaos Sanctuary's eeriness and blood stink had faded. Instead, it felt welcoming, like the Rogue Encampment. After merging with another world stone, he had become a god of this continent. Abel held down his curiosity and shifted his attention back to the dead body of Diablo. He then reached out his power of the will to scan, but he was soon met with disappointment. The 4 meters long body of Diablo had no gear other than dragon scales. It would be a good find if it was the dead body of an actual dragon, but all hell creatures would quickly become rotten after they died. Even the indestructible dragon scales had turned into ash with a gentle flick. There was no use for a body like this. As Abel was wallowing in disappointment, his power of the will brushed against the pentagram where Diablo was summoned and discovered a hole. He immediately flashed towards it and scanned again. After he was certain there was no danger, he called in Frankenstein from afar. He was happy about the fight. Nevertheless, the only damage he took was the grey bear which had returned to his monster ring. Its sacrifice was what allowed Abel to realize the true power of Diablo and change his tactics. Abel turned to the hole, he couldn't sense any danger, but he wasn't planning to enter it himself. If the pentagram began to move again, he might be trapped. After all, there were forces more powerful than him, so he would not take the chance even with a little bit of energy from god. Still, he would not let this opportunity go. Since there were no goodies on the body of Diablo, it had to be in this hole. He turned to Frankenstein, and it knew exactly what to do. Abel quickly seized control of its soul, and it flashed into the hole. Inside was a dark open space, but it did not affect the power of the will. There was no danger, just like a normal open space. The floors were filled with rubbish, huge piles of bones, and broken gears. They were the failed experiments of Diablo, and most were rotten after the passage of time. After some detailed searching, Abel spotted 2 dark gold gears, and before Frankenstein returned to the surface, he made sure he did not miss a single corner. Frankenstein placed the 2 dark gold gears in front of Abel's human body, and Abel retracted his control over Frankenstein's soul. Abel gazed down. One was a bow, and one was an iron fork. He ran through his knowledge, and the stats of those gears appeared in front of him. Buriza-Do Kyanon +200% Enhanced Damage Piercing Attack +57 Maximum Damage +32-196 Cold Damage, 4 Second Duration Freezes Target +3 +150 Defence +35 to Dexterity +80% Increased Attack Speed. It was a dark gold bow with decent power. Too bad he didn't have any professional archers. But he quickly thought of his angel body. Since it did not have any long-range attack ability, this bow would be perfect. At the same time, its speed was a great match with its added dexterity. Even without any professional archery skills, it could create a rain of arrows. Finally, its piercing ability would be effective on most enemies even if he missed. At that moment, Abel was already wondering how he could hide his angel body's energy so he could use it in the Central Continent. No one would be able to stop his arrows or his Razortail. Abel put away the Buriza-Do Kyanon and turned to the iron fork. Kelpie Snare +180% Enhanced Damage Slow Down Target 75% +28 health Fire resistance +50% +30-50 Damage +10 Vitality. "A thing like this exists?" Abel gasped. The Kelpie Snare was not only powerful—it was also disgustingly powerful. It did not have many abilities, but that slow-down target by 75% was a killer. In an instant, 3/4 of his target's speed would be taken away. This speed even included attack speed as well as moving speed. His enemies would be hopeless if he landed a single strike with this thing. He scanned the Kelpie Snare again, and it seems like it would be effective as long as it left a mark on the enemies. There was no need for special attacks. Abel looked around the Chaos Sanctuary again. This place was now his. He gazed focused on the furnace of hell outside and flashed towards it after he put away his summons. Since he was accepted by this world, his power of the will could reach beyond 1600 meters once again. He arrived at the Furnace of Hell outside, and it looked just the same. But, it felt different. He sensed a connection with the platform on it. It was at that moment Abel realized why this place attracted him. It was because of this platform. He came to the side of the platform and sensed it absorbing energy from the lava. In the middle of it was where the energy gathered. It seemed like it was forming something. Abel calculated for a moment, whatever it was forming should take half a month in the Central Continent to complete, so maybe he would check on it again until then. As for now, he needed to search for the passage to another world. He already scanned the Chaos Sanctuary and didn't find anything. The map he had also did not say much either. He searched around the River of Flame. Since it was his world, he no longer needed to be careful. His power of will quickly cover the river but also did not find any hint. By that point, he decided to return to the pandemonium fort. He would let his summons out for a search tomorrow. However, he suddenly sensed a vicious dimensional force as he stepped out of the little teleportation circle. He speeded into the pandemonium fort's hall, and the first thing he saw was a blood-red portal. Still, Abel remained careful as always and let Frankenstein test it out.. After he sensed that it was safe through the soul chain, he made his first step in.

Chapter 1195 - Level Up Again Chapter 1195 - Level Up Again Harrogate was a city on the top of a hill. All of its buildings were made with the burliest stones. At that moment, Abel was exactly standing on the highest platform of Harrogate with his power of will fully unleashed. He was not expecting any living being around, but he still couldn't help but sign after he scanned the environment. It was a human city, but there was not a single person around. So there was only one explanation, humans in the Dark World have gone extinct. In fact, there were no other beings other than hell creatures. If the power of law did not protect the buildings of this city, they would have been washed away by the passage of time as well. Abel stepped into the room next to him. It was an alchemy room with a full set of alchemy equipment and potions on the shelves. He did not take those potions. He was no longer the poor fellow he was. However, there were still some super potion healing potions and super mana potions that attracted him. The past owner of this room must be a top-level alchemist. Abel looked around and quickly spotted the books he was after, the formula for those super potions. He looked down at the formulas. Just a few extra rare ingredients alone could make a huge difference. Since Abel had a herb garden, cultivating the ingredients he needed was no challenge. If the Dark World was not suppressed by hell or operated by hell creatures, it too would be an amazing place for growing potion ingredients. Abel stepped out of the alchemy room and walked down. There was a little teleportation circle, but all of its energy was used up long ago. Still, Abel installed 2 top-level gems onto it, and it was ignited once again after tens of thousands of years. He connected his power of the will to it. After seeing a familiar list of locations appearing, Abel felt his heart lifted. From then on, he could teleport to this place any time he wanted, even if the portal vanished. After all, he had o idea where Harrogate was located in the Dark World. He then walked around Harrogate. He found the blacksmith guild and the exit of the town. However, he was not planning to fight hell creatures. After defeating Diablo and hearing a song of life sung by the most souls, the most important thing to do was to meditate. So, he returned to the familiar Rogue Encampment. No need to wait for the sky to get dark. He had not meditated in the last 24 hours so he could save the night for training. He sat down in the large mana gathering circle with 1000 top-level light gems around him. If he needed, he could take out even more resources with his druid soul during meditation. Abel took a deep breath and relaxed his soul. After hundred years of meditating experience, letting go was almost instinctive to him. In his deep state of meditation, he heard the song of life again. It was the true gift the souls had given him. As the song of life emerged, huge amounts of mana began to rush in the large mana gathering circle, even from miles away. All of a sudden, the place was flooded with mana. Abel felt like a sponge in the sea. With the strange power of the song of life, his body was turning that mana into the purest magic energy. His 3 laws grew tremendously. It would normally take a rank 23 wizard hundreds of years to level up again in the Central Continent. At that moment, Abel Abel was almost stunned as the energy rushed into his body. Of course, there was no way another wizard's body could tolerate this, but after all, Abel's body was almost as strong as a mad knight. It was a little painful to take in so much energy, but he was not afraid of mana overload. Even if he got himself hurt, he always had full recovery potions as a backup. The speed of mana was insane. By that point, it was more like a tsunami than a flood. Luckily they were in the Dark World when no one had ever taken in any mana for tens of thousands of years. So naturally, therefore, its mana density was extremely high. If he was in the Central continent, that large mana gathering circle he had would probably break down immediately after what just happened. Still, mana moving too fast could cause a disaster. Therefore, the Oak Tree in Blood Moor left a command for the high elves after it sensed the condition of Abel. Under the lead of headmaster Loka, thousands of high elves flew up. As the children of nature, they had the natural ability to control all kinds of elements. They had a close bond with mana. Therefore with thousands of them unleashing their power, the chaotic mana suddenly became calm. Abel was not aware of this. All he knew was he was getting more powerful at a scary rate. After around 20 minutes, Abel's body was fully fulfilled as a rank 23 wizard even he had 2 extra wizard patterns compared to normal wizards. Of course, it was all thanks to the high elves. At the same time, the 1000 light gems around him had also been used up, and his druid soul was already taking out more automatically. Abel was beginning to level up. He was extremely happy. Since he no longer needed to go through any bottlenecks, this level-up didn't even use up any energy from the song of life. He successfully drew out 3 rank 24 wizard patterns in just a minute. It must be the fastest level up in history, but of course, he could only do this with the power of god in the Rogue Encampment. As the mana kept rushing began to rush in again, the high elves continued to work. The druid soul also began to take out light gems. Soon, all elite light gems were used up, and it began to take out other kinds of light gems—even the ones he was not planning to use. The mana was gathering at an unbelievable rate. Especially with the help of the Oak tree and the high elves under the lead of headmaster Loka, even mana from the ocean in the edge of the Rogue Encampment began to move in. 10 meters waves lashed out. It was too bad no one was around the ocean to see this doomsday scenery. The main man behind all of this was still meditating. His power kept increasing. Hundreds of hearts of energy were condensed into a single hour. In just 40 minutes, there were no more light gems in his holy portal bag. Since the druid soul was operating on instinct, it began to take out mana gems. After all, any form of energy could turn into the purest energy for Abel with support from a song of life. Abel's skin suddenly tore open with this increase in energy, and a cut to his organs was opened up. The druid soul automatically used a full recovery potion, and the cut was healed. The song of life continued. Since Abel's body was almost immortal with his potions, a little cut from energy would not hurt. In fact, he was filled with joy as time passed by the seconds. He was just like a piece of iron being hammered by energy. And finally, his 3 rank 24 wizard patterns were fulfilled. Just like that, top-level mana gems were directly melted one by one, which was enough to make any powerful figure in the Central Continent go insane. Each of them harvested the energy to blow up an entire city, but they all quickly turned into ashes after they were taken out. Another hour passed, and the energy kept rushing in. Abel almost felt like his 3 rank 24 wizard patterns were going to explode at any moment. The song of life ended in the very last second, and the last note turned into an echo that swirled around Abel's soul. The energy began to settle. The high elves were also getting tired, but their faith only deepened. Their lord had absorbed every single energy they gathered. If there was another level they could go with their faith, what just happened would definitely do the trick. Abel opened his eyes and stood up but immediately sat back down. Seeing all the scattered gems around, he could only imagine what just happened. The song of life had also fulfilled his 3 rank 24 wizard patterns, so it was time for him to level up again. He sensed the level-up energy sifting out from within him, but he was not planning to do it quickly like before. So instead, he took it safe and began to defuse his 3 rank 24 wizard pattern in his power of the will as well as the power of law. Afterward, he redrew 3 rank 25 wizard patterns. Just like that, Abel had reached the pinnacle of a law-defying wizard from a rank 23 wizard. As a rank 25 wizard, he needed to start transforming his body into energy besides practicing spells. Rank 25 wizards were the core of every large wizard organization.. They signified one's potential to become a legend, a truly powerful figure in the Central Continent, a true master of one's own fate.

Chapter 1196 - Return Home Chapter 1196 - Return Home Abel let out a long breath of relief after becoming a rank 25 wizard. Although he was expecting to level up with the song of life after defeating Diablo, it was still like a dream to level up 2 times in a row. Each level up required a tremendous amount of energy, so you could only imagine how many souls Diablo had locked up. Abel looked around. The mountainous amounts of light gems in his holy portal bag were gone. However, he did not feel bad. He was expecting to use them for his level up anyway. As for top-level gems, he couldn't care less. His Horadric cube could create as many as he wanted. Since he was a rank 25 wizard, he was just a rank away from becoming legendary. Abel was so happy he almost wanted to return to the Golden castle and celebrate with a huge meal, but too bad his 10 days in the Dark World had not ended. He let out his angel body and operated with his human body. He totally got a sense of its power during the battle with Diablo. It could not only take Diablo's attack head-on, but it also remained dominant when it came to speed. It was the sole reason why Abel won. And with his level up, he would be more confident even when the demon from beyond reawaken. His human body reached into his holy portal bag and took out the Buriza-Do Kyannon for his angel body. Afterward, he began training again. His sword skills had clearly become smoother, and each strike felt instinctive. He knew his angel sword technique had leveled up, and he was very happy. His human body rested, but his power of the will was still too excited to go to sleep. The following days he continued his battle in Harrogate. There was no need to hide his angel body since he could let Doff the Beamon, Johnson, Jason, and Flying Flameout again. It was just that Johnson and Jason lacked behind when it came to power. They would soon be obsolete if they continue to plateau in their process, but Abel had no idea how to help 2 stone giants anyway. A stone giant's power was determined by the materials they were made out of. Unfortunately, the only thing more powerful was ancient materials, and Abel didn't know how to make them. Suddenly, he thought of the dwarves. Maybe they had some information. King Gunther must have done research into this. Meanwhile, his angel body was unleashing some scary archery skills. Even with half the power, normal hell creatures could not withstand more than a strike. Especially with the piercing effect, those arrows were almost indestructible. However, there was one problem. Those were the arrows Abel learned how to make as a knight in the Holy Continent. They could only guarantee accuracy in a certain range, and it would be an even bigger challenge without the world stone. After all, he was not only after the power of a single strike. He needed to wipe out hell by the mass. Still, he was doing quite well with the Buriza-Do Kyannon already. Before Abel left the Dark World, he hid his rank 25 wizard energy with his transformation necklace. It was a good idea to battle for a few more days in the Dark World to let his energy settle. He stepped into the blue portal and reappeared in his training room of the Gold Castle. No one in the Central Continent could ever guess Abel had become a rank 25 wizard in just one night. What he needed now was to gather light gems again. With the help of the intelligence fruit, he was confident that he could fulfill his rank 25 wizard patterns in a year or two. Becoming a legend used to be out of the world, now it was almost at his reach. He moved his power of the will and flashed into his battle fort on the Sat light protection circle. The sun was still rising, and its beams were soothing in the eye as it covered the mist of the forest. Abel felt his heart relaxing. It was exactly what he wanted after days of intense battle. He took out a glass of water spirit fruit juice and formed a table on the battle fort as he admired the view. "Research spirit, how many light gems do I have in the inventory?" Abel asked. "Master, there are 1640 beginner light gems!" The research spirit replied. Abel had used up all the light gems in his portal bag, but his golden castle still brought in a decent income with its meals. Each meal cost 2 beginner light gems. With 3 meals a day and 10 guests each session, he could have 60 light gems a day. After months of accumulation, he was happy about what he got. At least he didn't have to worry about training in the following few days. After he used them up, he would get more with his potions. "Research spirit, bring me all of those light gems!" Abel commanded casually. He was too lazy to even more after going through life and death in the Dark World. "Yes Master!" The research spirit sounded, and a pile of light gems appeared on the short distance teleportation circle beside him. He put them in his holy portal bag and began combining them into top-level light gems with his Horadric cube. Just when he completed, the Research Spirit sounded again. "Master, Sainte Lorraine wants to see you!" Not many people know about his training schedule, but Lorraine was one of them. "Lorraine's here?" Abel stood up with a smile and regained his energy. He scanned the golden castle and directly teleported Lorraine in front of him with his power of the will. "Abel!" She smiled. Lorraine always kept a graceful appearance. It was only in front of Abel she could smile like a little girl. "Lorraine, don't you have class today?" Abel wondered if Lorraine was skipping class again. After all, he knew there were no rest days for studying in the temple. "No, I am here for a mission!" Lorraine padded her chest and said with confidence. "Mission? What mission?" Abel laughed. "Headmaster wants me to ask you for a favour. Big druid Amelia is fulfilled and she is now in retreat!" Lorraine said with her eyes wide open. Although she did not explain much, Abel knew the intention of the temple. It was just that he said he would not help another big druid level up after Lorraine became an official Sainte. "Abel, big druid Amelia is the most powerful druid. She is rank 24 and the only hope of us elves to become a legendary druid. Therefore, the headmaster wants your help again to maximise her chances!" Lorraine continued. "Lorraine, did you say yes to the headmaster?" Abel smiled. "I did not promise him, so you don't have to if it's too much of a bother!" Lorraine added gently. Although Abel's place was tight security, Lorraine still acted shy when she expressed her bias towards Abel. "Lorraine, is there anyone mistreating you in the temple?" Abel couldn't help but laugh again, seeing the cute look on Lorraine's face. "No, everyone is great to me!" Lorraine said happily. "Then bring big druid Amelia to me!" Abel decided. "You must use this chance to get some more rewards from the temple!" Lorraine gently suggested. "Nothing matters as long as the temple is good to you!" Abel said. Lorraine left with some dark gold lotions and conditioner. They were the finest work of Abel after he became a grandmaster alchemist. Abel saw excitement beaming out of Lorraine's eyes as she held those potions. It seemed like he would be expecting a big order from the temple soon. However, as long as Lorraine was safe in the temple, he couldn't care less. At the end of the day, he was one of the reasons why Lorraine's journey to becoming a Sainte was so smooth. After 10 minutes, big Druid Amelia arrived at the Golden castle, and Abel did not let her wait too long in the hall. "The great grandmaster Bennett, Amelia greets you!" Big Druid Amelia gave a big bow to show her respect. "Big Druid Amelia. I'm happy to see you!" Abel smiled and bowed back. He began to look up and down at this most powerful druid of the elves. She looked like she was only about 20 years old—no need to explain. Lorraine had given her some beauty potions. After all, Abel did prepare a lot of potions for Lorraine. Big Druid Amelia was not shy about hiding her rank 24 energy. "I need to be frank with you. I can't guarantee that the tree of life will keep helping druids level up, so just be prepared if it starts to reject!" Abel lowered his voice. He was only a middle man and the supplier of gems. The tree of life's attitude was the most important, and he didn't know if the tree of life would continue to be nice to him. Therefore if big druid Amelia was not the most powerful druid of the elves or Lorraine was not the one who asked Abel for the favor, Abel might have rejected it.

Chapter 1197 - Fight Chapter 1197 - Fight "Grandmaster, I still want a go. I became a druid the day I reach adulthood. I spent 300 years to become a big druid. Becoming a legend was always my goal, so please help me!" Big druid Amelia bowed. Abel could hear the arrogance in her voice. From a human perspective, that was basically becoming a wizard at 18 years of age. She was a true genius, but was it really necessary to bring it up? If Abel didn't have to hide his identity, he too wanted to expose his energy and show this big druid that she was standing in front of a 20 years old rank 25 wizard. Even if he counted the times in the Dark World, he would be no more than 100 years old. "I talked to Lorraine about it, so just leave it to me. I'll take you to the tree of life!" Abel still smiled and replied. After all, Lorraine was the defining factor. "Thank you grandmaster!" Big druid Amelia was not stupid, and she understood Abel's intent, so she smiled and bowed. "Ok, follow me!" Abel smiled back. He expanded his power of the will to let out wizard Tony and Frankenstein on the other side of the walls. Afterward, they appeared in the hall with a flash. Big druid Amelia was stunned as she saw 2 hooded law-defying wizards appearing. She only knew Master Bennett had one law-defying wizard. Abel was planning to make Wizard Tony public anyway. Therefore, he could use two law-defying wizards to escape if things went bad. Frankenstein and Wizard Tony brought Abel and big druid Amelia underground and arrived at the tree of life valley entrance through the giant teleportation circle. With a fortress on guard, only one big druid was needed to be on duty. "Good work!" Abel smiled and bowed. Although big druid Amelia was the so-called most powerful druid of the elves, she would not be able to enter the tree of life valley so casually without Abel, so the guard remained quiet. There were two kinds of big druids in the elves: male for serving the palace and female for serving the temple. But of course, there were the ones serving Abel as well. As for Wizard Tony and Frankenstein, the druid on guard also had no say as long as they came with Abel. The tree of life was equal to Abel, so nothing Abel brought would be harmful. They carefully skipped over the plants on the ground and arrived by the side of the tree of life. Abel was always the one who greeted first, but this time it was the tree of life. "Tree of life, please help this rank 24 big druid level up!" Abel placed his hand on a branch and ignited the soul speaker's ability. With their close bond, this was their favorite way to communicate. The tree of life requested 2020 top-level green gems, which made Abel wonder if the tree of life was starting to maximize its profit. With this number, he might have a problem if he was requested to help a rank 25 druid level up! But after all, leveling up did take up a lot of energy, and the energy from most of those gems would be transferred back to its helping target. Recall how much energy Abel had taken to go from a rank 23 to a rank 25 wizard. However, if Abel directly took out a pile of green gems at once, people might become suspicious. "Grandmaster, is there a problem?" big druid Amelia saw that Abel was not looking good, so she asked. "Nothing, I'm just negotiating with the tree of life. Please step back!" Abel smiled. Big Druid Amelia was very jealous of the way Abel communicated with the tree of life. After all, the temple did view the tree of life as the goddess of the moon. Although she did not express much gratitude, her heart was filled with it. Therefore, she bowed and carefully stepped back. Abel then took out a barrier circle and blocked big druid Amelia's view. Big druid Amelia was worried, but Abel shouldn't hurt the tree of life, right? In the circle, he took out the gems. He promised Lorraine, so there was no return. Being taken advantage of was a type of joy as well! After seeing the 2020 green gems being dragged down painfully, he put away the barrier circle and waved at big druid Amelia. "Big druid amazing, the tree of life agreed!" "Thank you grandmaster!" Big druid Amelia gave out a big bow of excitement. Afterward, Abel saw the tree of life reached out 4 branches. 2 of them lifted big druid Amelia, and 2 of them were coming towards Abel. "Tree of life, what are you doing?" Abel did not dodge since he was certain the tree of life would not hurt him. He was just confused. The tree of life did not reply. At that moment, Abel's rank 22 big druid energy was fully exposed. It was the special power of the tree of life. Afterward, it began to use up the gems' energy, and Abel sensed his energy rushing in. Abel was not expecting to level up as a druid since he never spent any time creating natural energy with training. However, the tree of life might be a help with that. It was what turned him into a big druid in the first place anyway. Therefore, when it spotted some new potential in Abel, it did not even ask before helping. In reality, the 2000 green gems were actually for Abel. Big druid, Amelia's level up, would only take 20. It was an extremely fair trade, and the tree of life had done so, ensuring Abel's safety. Abel felt like he was blessed by the song of life once again as a sea of energy rushing in. However, this time it was even more comfortable with the calmness of natural energy. Suddenly, his druid soul sensed level-up energy by his side. It must be a big druid, Amelia. It was too easy for the tree of life. The tree of life knew big druid Amelia had inherited a druid guide, so all it needed was to make her enter a state of enlightenment. As for Abel, he was occupied by the vast amounts of energy gushing in his druid soul. Luckily the tree of life smooths out the impact, so he had no safety risk. Time passed. Leveling up, energy slowly faded from big druid Amelia and she was finally a rank 25 druid. She opened her eyes with a prideful smile. There were not many rank 25 Druids in the history of elves. Becoming a Legendary druid was right at reach. Her name would go down in history, and she would create history when she became a legend. The tree of life let her down again. It was at that moment she saw Master Bennet was being held up as well. Her heart dropped. However, she didn't make a move after she saw that Wizard Tony and Frankenstein appeared in front of her. They were the ones responsible for protecting Master Bennett, after all. She didn't know what was happening, but the right thing to do was to listen to Abel's wizards and keep her distance. As a rank 25 druid, she could easily take down Abel's wizards, but what was the point? The druid on guard was already focused on her. Although he didn't know what was happening to Master Bennett as well, he knew Master Bennet was the most prestigious elf. Master Bennett's safety was the most important. Therefore, Big druid Amelia smiled to signal her kind attitude as she stepped back.

Chapter 1198 - Double Level Up Chapter 1198 - Double Level Up Big Druid Amelia stepped back, and Frankenstein nodded, but still, she was very interested in what was happening to Abel. She was not the only one. The druid on guard outside was very concentrated as well. What Abel was doing was very strange. Was he leveling up? He was a rank 22 druid, but it was growing at an unbelievable rate. Frankenstein and Wizard Tony did not have emotions, but the big druids were looking extremely confused. They were in disbelief, fear, envy, and all kinds of emotions were running through their heart. It would normally take hundreds of years for a druid to move up a rank, so leveling up was definitely not a common thing. When was the last time master Bennett leveled up? They all remember very clearly. It was the time the Holy Kingdom invaded the elves, and the goddess of the moon had a godsend to save the tree of life. It had not even been a year, and master Bennett was leveling up again. Unfortunately, the tree of life was too biased towards Master Bennett. At that moment, those druids almost wanted to pull him down and hang themselves on the tree of life. However, could master Bennett's body handle a quick level up like this. Big druid Amelia always thought she was the most talented elf, but then he thought about Abel's age. Abel had just reached adulthood, and he was a rank 22 druid. Did Abel have overtaken her title already? Still, her pride as a rank 25 druid was not that easy to destroy. It might take Abel a lifetime to reach her level for all she knew. It was at that moment Abel was fulfilled as a rank 22, and the druids let out a big breath of relief, thinking his level up had ended. Suddenly, "My goddess!" Big druid Amelia gasped. Abel directly skipped through his bottleneck and transformed into a rank 23 druid. The hardest part of a druid's life was completed by Abel in just 10 minutes. Every big druid knew the tree of life would never fail, and Master Bennett had just become one of the rare rank 23 druids. But it was not Abel's fault. He had no idea what was going on either. When the level-up energy faded, the tree of life began to inject a sea of energy into Abel again. "How is this possible!" Big Druid Amelia never saw anything like it in her life. The druids on guard outside were also baffled. Was Abel leveling up again? Although it wouldn't take long for Abel's power of the will to transform natural force into his transparent energy, there was way too much rushing, so he had no time to rest. Rank 23 began, rank 23 midpoint, to rank 23 fulfilled! Big Druid Amelia was numbed. Her pride was scattered. She saw a true genius grow in front of her. She almost began to wonder if grandmaster Abel was the personal child of the tree of life. But of course, it was nonsense. She knew very well that every elf was the child of the tree of life. As nonsensical thoughts ran through her head, another level-up energy sifted out of Abel. Did grandmaster Bennett just become rank 24? The druids felt like they were dreaming. If leveling up was this simple, what's the point of spending hundreds of years in training! A druid on guard connected to the royal palace to report what was happening to Abel. Big druid Lendo was in disbelief. He immediately turned down the call and arrived at the tree of life valley. He just had to see it with his own eyes. Abel was stabilizing as a beginner rank 24, but the energy did not stop rushing in. As far as the tree of life known, Abel had the potential to become a rank 25, and it would not stop until that point. Rank 24 midpoint, to rank 24 advance, and finally, rank 24 fulfilled! Big druid Lendo made it in time to witness this extraordinary scene, and his jaw was dropped. Grandmaster Bennett was only a rank 6 druid the first time they met, but in a single year, he became a big druid being held up but the tree of life. How could he ever describe it? It made sense if another big druid was becoming rank 24, but grandmaster Bennett's level up was just too fast, almost like a blink of an eye. Abel began to level up again. Other than big druid Lendo, all the other druids were numbed. They had already accepted the unfairness of the world and began to doubt themselves. After a while, natural forces stopped rushing into Abel's druid soul. He let out a breath of relief. What just happened was way too tiring. The tree of life lowered him to the ground again after becoming a rank 25 druid, but as a rank 25 wizard already, he was more happy than excited about this fact. He turned. Abel bowed to the tree of life, and the tree of life suggested it was time for it to take a rest. Big Druid Amelia's arrogance was sucked out of her. This young grandmaster had caught up to her in a mysterious way in an instant. How could she ever guess that Abel needed to be a rank 25 wizard as well to do this? Not to mention the 2000 purest top-level green gems Abel gave out. Maybe the only organization in this world capable of giving out something like that were the dwarves. Abel stretched his back. It was not comfortable to be held up by a branch for so long. "Grandmaster, are you a rank 25?" Big Druid Amelia asked with a dry voice. "Maybe the tree of life thinks I'm too weak and wants to give me a little help to catch up after helping you!" Abel said honestly. Big Druid Amelia almost wanted to spill blood. A little help? You call that a little help? "Grandmaster Bennett, congratulations. I hope you will soon become a Legendary!" Big Druid Lendo stepped in with a cheer. "Big Druid Lendo, thank you. But, that might still be some time away!" Abel smiled humbly. "It can be any day with your progress speed!" Big Druid Lendo laughed. By that point, he wouldn't be surprised even if the tree of life helped Abel again in a few days and turned him into a legendary druid. "Everyone, since I just level up I need to go back stabilise my power. We'll meet again next time!" Abel said to the druids and bowed under the sparkling face of Big Druid Amelia. "Grandmaster, good luck!" Big Druid Lendo bowed back, and the other druids followed. Abel then vanished from the spot with Frankenstein and wizard Tony. Afterward, the druids exchanged gaze and let out an awkward smile. Big Druid Lendo wanted to congratulate Big Druid Amelia for becoming a rank 25 as well, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it. It would be too awkward in that situation. Still, it was great news for the elves to have 2 new rank 25 druids. Who knew? Maybe they might have a legendary druid soon as well. Of course, the legendary druid candidate Big Druid Lendo had in mind was not big Druid Amelia. With Abel's age, anything is possible. Abel returned to the golden castle in a very happy mood. His level-ups had brought him another power gain. As long as he unleashed his rank 25 druid energy, he could suppress any rank 23 and below even without exposing his Wizard identity. This had nothing to do with spell power or fighting experience. It was the true power of status. At least this would make revolving small hassles easier. "Steward Myer, call my 3 followers and tell them I want to celebrate my level up. Also tell the chefs to prepare!" Abel said. "Yes master!" Steward Myer was very happy for Abel as well. By lunch, Abel's 3 followers returned. "Have a seat, we are all friends here. No need to be so polite!" Abel nodded and took a seat. His 3 followers followed after Abel was seated. "Grandmaster, I heard from Steward Myer you've leveled up!" Druid Poly was the first one to ask. "Yeah, I'm a rank 25 druid now. So that's why I want to celebrate today!" Abel smiled. Since 2 of Abel's followers were big druids as well, this news would soon spread throughout the elves. However, before that, they all had their jaws dropped in disbelief. Even as they took a bite of the best food of the Central Continent and took a sip of the best wine, they were still shocked.

Chapter 1199 - God Of Thieves Chapter 1199 - God Of Thieves Pass city was an ordinary city with ordinary wealth and status. Out of the many cities in the Central Continent, no one would think of it more than twice. Just like every city, it was plagued with good and evil. In the dark corner of society lies an ancient occupation, thieves. They lurked around the common world, and they would make their moves when they found the right target. Of course, they would not target professionals since they stood no chance against the power of the will. In a little courtyard located in the east of Pass City lied the base of the thieves. They seemed like a mess on the surface, but they were actually an organized bunch. If a thief arrived at Pass City without reporting in the base, they would soon learn their lesson or even get killed. Milton was the owner of the courtyard, who looked like a thin old man around the age of 60. He was known to be the testimony of justice. Every time a conflict broke out between the thieves, he would resolve it, and it was exactly what he was doing at the moment, However, this was only because of a rule he made. If any thief tried to resolve a conflict without him, his body would be thrown into the deepest part of a lake. Milton loved his job. It made him feel alive. After all, he was a god who lived for thousands of years without a domain. It would be boring if he didn't find something to kill time. He did not have many followers in the Central Continent, and most of them were the lowest of the low. As the god of thief, his followers would change their faith as soon as they failed a robbery. However, it was because of his powerlessness. He ended up as one of the few gods that did not get cleaned up by the Wizard Union. Still, this doesn't mean he did not have live savers. He could hide his energy and make himself invisible, which made escaping very easy. As long as he didn't take too many risks or try to increase his followers, he should be able to keep his status as a god. His income came from the gains of his followers. However, since the wizard union was focused on the Holy Kingdom and they needed each kingdom to be united, there could not be too many thieves around. Thief God Milton knew about this, so he did not get too greedy. After all, the faith he got each day was enough for him to get by. As for getting his own domain, he wouldn't even think about it. Once he did, his brain would start to hurt, and he might do something crazy that could get him locked up by the wizard union. Just when he was trying to find some joy in listening to the 2 thieves in front of him going back and forth, his face suddenly twitched, and a little bit of energy sifted out of him by mistake. However, it was too late. His energy then hit the 2 thieves, and They dropped down out like a block of wood. By the time thief god Milton turned his gaze, they were already dead. Still, he did not care too much. Normal thieves were weak anyway. Instead, he knew there was something scary to worry about. From the scattered information he gained from his followers, he realized people were looking for him all over the continent. The tactics of those people were simple. Capture a thief, and force them to declare if they follow the thief god or if they know where the thief god was. This was because the ones going to the job were only normal people, not professionals. Was it because they didn't want to provoke the snake before they strike? Thief god, Milton didn't feel too good about this. It didn't seem like the wizard union. There was no way they wouldn't use professionals. He quickly scrolled through the information given out by his more faithful followers recently. Although a single follower might not know much, he had accumulated quite a few faithful ones he could use the passage of faith throughout the continent. He even had 10 followers in the Holy Continent. It was at that moment. He realized something odd about those 10 followers. The Holy kingdom was invaded, and something was stolen from the central temple. These days they sent out countless powerful professionals, and many from the front line had been recruited to search around the cities. Thief god Milton immediately made a connection. What investigation department exclusively used normal people? That's right, the Holy Kingdom. As far as he knew, the Holy Kingdom had a special method of brainwashing that turned normal people into the demon from beyond's followers, but it was not effective on professionals. Even with the power of the wizard union, they managed to establish a huge network in the Central Continent. "Damn, are those bastards suspecting me?" Thief God Milton thought to himself. Intuition was the 6th sense of a god. He almost wanted to yell, how could he even enter the Holy kingdom. Before the wizard union started to hunt down gods, he, too had thought about obtaining his own domain. Back then, he had enough resources to make a holy object to gather faith. For many gods, holy objects were like a backup. If their body got killed along with their followers by someone powerful, people would still know about their existence as long as their holy object was worldwide. And as long as people knew about their existence, they would not truly die. However, this all changed after the wizard union took power. Religion and spreading faith became forbidden, so he could only do so through rumors and legends. As for something as powerful as the Holy kingdom, he didn't even want to get close. It was the reason he lived for so long. As the god of thieves, he was only half a god at most. If he messed with the Holy Kingdom, he would get destroyed. He felt his heart chill. He was confident that he could escape from the Holy kingdom, but they might hunt him down together if the wizard union found out. Since the Wizard Union probably didn't know the Holy kingdom was making a move, they would definitely double down on their forces. If this happened, his peaceful days would be over. Thief God Milton knew very well. Both Wizard union and the Holy Kingdom had many methods of finding him through their followers. If not, no way the wizard union could hunt down so many gods. As for the holy kingdom, they were experts in faith, so of course, they knew how to find him as well. "Who pushed the blame on me!" Thief god Milton was not angry at the Holy kingdom. He had no power to do so anyway. Instead, he was certain that someone was behind this, and he was furious. He began to look through more information from the Holy Kingdom, and one of his followers who lived close to the temple knew a thing or two. For thieves, knowing more than normal people was necessary to survive. Therefore, his curiosity got the best of him after something was stolen from the Holy Kingdom's central temple. Rumors were flying around from all sides, and many theories were created. After hearing those rumors and theories from that follower, Thief God Milton began to analyze. The Holy Kingdom suspected him because the one who committed the deed was invisible, and his speed was so fast, the professionals on guard didn't even have time to react. All of it made sense. He really did have the power to become invisible. Although there were many other ways to become invisible as well, becoming invisible in a temple needed the power of God. And he was the only god with such power. There was no need to think anymore. It seemed like the blame was deadlocked on him. He gazed at the 2 dead thieves in his yard and directly burned them up with a fireball. He knew he couldn't stay here anymore. Maybe he would need to become a nomad again. He wanted to hunt down the bastard who pushed the blame on him, but he also knew someone who had the guts to make a move on the Holy kingdom might be very powerful. Still, it wouldn't hurt to investigate. At least he would have something to explain if he got captured by the Holy kingdom. It was the dignity of a god, even half a god. He packed up some stuff and lit his courtyard up in flames. Seeing the people around coming to put out the fire, Thief God Milton let out a sign as he left the crowd. After all, he lived in this city for the past decades. He did not use a teleportation circle. Instead, he walked. Of course, no one would notice him as he stepped out the city gate with his invisibility. It was the reason why so many gods more powerful than him were killed, but he managed to stay alive. After he left the city gate, he began to fly and accelerated into top speed. Speed was another most powerful ability of his. It was how he had escaped from so many dangerous situations. As long as he reached full speed, no one could match him. However, reaching full speed came at a cost, and it was the power of god. He only had enough power to sustain himself for a weak god, so he could only fly at moderate speed. After all, he didn't even have enough power to create his own domain. Unless a god had many faithful followers accumulated after tens of thousands of years, stabilizing a domain needed large amounts of power. Only powerful gods could do so, not a weak little god who barely made it through each day.

Chapter 1200 - Annihilation Chapter 1200 - Annihilation Thief God Milton had just left Pass City for a few hours. He was flying in the air and was searching for a place to land. Meanwhile, he was just notified that a true believer of his died. With the worship passageway in place, it was very easy for him to pay attention to this. There was another explanation, actually, and that was that he just had too few followers to not pay attention to each and every one of them. If it was any other divine spirits like the Moon Goddess or divine spirits who had a tremendous number of followers, they wouldn't bother giving any personal attention to any followers until something special was to come up. This was exactly the case for Abel. The number of followers he had connected to his druid spirit was about several thousand or more. Deaths happened among them on a daily basis, but he would only consider those as natural phenomena and not something he needed to actively interfere with. Thief God Milton was different in this regard. The follower was still very young. In fact, almost all his followers were quite young. Thieves usually changed jobs once they reached a certain age. By that point, the faith would no longer continue, and even if there was anyone that still devoted faith to him, they would just not be as solemn in their practice. Amidst the central temple of the Nation of God, the Saint was still sitting amidst the temple. His eyes were fixated on a statue that was newly built. Even today, the faith power continued to circulate, and there was still quite some time for the entire figure to be transformed. Every time the Saint looked at the angelic figure, he would think of the despicable thief and of the thief god. Very recently, he began to borrow some divine power from the guardian wings to help the intelligence agencies with their search. Today, especially, was the day that they identified a thief that could very likely be the culprit who stole the angelic figure. There were a lot of conditions to track spirits through their followers. For instance, the divine spirits could just not be in the Nation of God. There was a lot of anti-detection work done in the state, so it was pretty much an impossible job to locate any divine spirits that were there. To find any divine spirits, it would only be possible if there were divine spirits that were also inside the Nation of God. By that logic, in order to track the divine spirits from their followers, the followers had to be connected to the divine spirits for a set period of time to leave any tracks. Of course, the trace would be at the location in which the connection was formed and not the actual location of the divine spirit. When the Saint thought about the situation of Thief God, he would switch on the divine passageway at all times and perform a soul tracking on the followers that were captured over on the central continent. The price for this would be the lives of the followers, but the Saint was too angry to care if the Thief God was going to come for revenge. He would track down the Thief God at any cost. Knight Maugham was holding a strange-looking contact circle in his hand, "We got him, Master ." It was not a magic stone that the contact circle was powered by. It was powered with divine power, and only divine power could penetrate through the blockage of the Doomsday wall. Now that the Nation of God had lost so much of its holy crystal, this had to be as wasteful as it could be. This also reflected just how much the Saint cared for this. They had to find the Thief God at any cost. The Saint said with a serious tone, "We must borrow your divine power to find the Thief God!" Under the protection of the guardian wings, a golden light dropped and fell on the contracted circle that was powered by divine power. Inside an underground room inside a city, in front of a contact circle, Milton's followers were tied to the ground. They had no idea what just happened. One of them was just ready to find a new victim, but he was knocked unconscious. He woke up and came here immediately. There was nobody in the room. The only item present was the contact circle that was in front of him. He didn't understand why he was kidnapped. He was a nobody. He managed his life mostly by stealing, but he never managed to scourge enough to make a saving. He didn't understand what reason someone would do this to him. Even if it was someone that he stole from, the most he would expect would be a beating. While the man was still thinking, a golden light flashed out of the contact circle in front of him. The golden light rushed towards him. He wanted to doge, but he had no way of doing so. The golden light continued to enter into his soul. Following that, as though he was a barrel of oil lit on fire, his body immediately exploded. During this instance, the golden light also found out Milton's location. It was a while ago. Thief God Milton was just performing a connection to see what he wanted out of this follower. The golden light followed a trail that was hard for most to see. Under the influence of divine power, the starting point of the worship passageway was just found. During this time, like a watermelon that had just exploded, the content inside the follower's head streamed towards every corner of the underground basement. Inside the central temple of the Nation of God, a look of joy just appeared on the Saint's face. He just received a notification from the divine power. Thief God Milton was found. He thought that some more hints were needed, but it appeared that he was wrong. He spoke again, "We'll borrow your divine power to open these guardian wings." Once again, a golden light rushed out of the guardian wings. This time, however, a teleportation portal was just opened in the hallroom. The location that Milton left just opened up a teleportation gate. A lot of divine power was used up, but he didn't care. He wanted revenge for the divine spirit he worshiped. It was not excusable, in any case, to steal from a temple. As long as he was spending some more attention to his followers, he believed that it was possible to make a return. The Saint bowed to the three sacred knights in hoodies, "Please, you three." The three sacred knights nodded. After that, they quickly sped up and became shadows that rushed into the teleportation gate. At the same time, Wizard Larking, who was just guarding the doomsday wall, also changed his expression. He couldn't believe the message that he just saw. "Special alarm! Special alarm!" He placed his hand on a contact circle that was nearby. He activated it and screamed as loudly as he could. This was the highest level of alarm the Wizard Union could send, and even a legendary wizard like him would have no right to participate. He was starting to make a guess. Maybe the Nation of God was just about to have a full-scale war with the central continent. Why else would they send figures of this level? If he had other things to worry about, he was more concerned with what could be over the marked location to allow three strong men to be sent over there. Wizard Larking screamed, which made the Wizard Union headquarters quite nervous. The five screams just activated the five shutdown rooms that were stored inside the underground basement. Inside the shutdown room, five wizards were just floating inside the rooms. They were just woken up by the siren. As soon as they opened their eyes, a light trembling was what happened at Wizard Union headquarters. Inside Pass City, ignorant commoners were still carrying on with their ordinary lives. An event was just being held in the city central hall. Everyone, whether old, young, men, or women, were just smiling as they participated in their events. Everyone was quite happy, and no one knew that a disaster was just about to fall. A little boy had snacks in his hand. While he was having his time eating it, a strange door emerged beside him. This door was made entirely out of gold. The shape was oval. The boy had no idea what was happening here. He was very curious when he wanted to touch the portal that just appeared. Meanwhile, everyone else was also just noticing that a teleportation door appeared. Most people had no idea what this was. They had very confused looks on their faces, but some class holders called out as they realized what this was. As soon as they were about to make a scream, a foot was just stepping outside the teleportation door. A terrifying suppressive presence was just being emitted. The area was immediately silenced. Everyone stopped moving. The boy's hand was just a bit away from reaching the door that he was so curious about. On the one hand, a regular person's face was seen to be full of surprise. Some class holders dropped their jaws. It was like the world was dead silent. Following that, a man in a long robe walked out of the teleportation gate. Two men in the same costumes also came out. Everyone collapsed as they all lost control of their muscles. The suppressive power appearing was just too much for any of them. One of the three sacred knights spoke, "I felt a divine spirit here!" The other one said, "I'll seal up the city. We're not letting him out." As they spoke, he slammed on the teleportation door with his hand. Divine power was just transpired from the teleportation portal. The divine power was just converted into a streak of golden light to surround the entire Pass City. Having made the necessary preparations, the three sacred knights went in their ways in three different directions. Everywhere they went by, with their bodies as the center, every living being within the range of several thousand meters was killed by having their souls crushed. Pass City was not a big city at all, so it only took several tens of seconds for the three sacred knights to meet up again. "We let him away. Get back, or the Wizard Union will be here soon!" "It's a shame." "Look for another other chance in the future." The three sacred knights made some complaints as they stayed afloat in the air. They then rushed towards the direction of the teleportation portal. They did not care that the entire city was just decimated because of what they did. Even the small animals died. Yes, that was just how severe the consequences were for legendary figures to unleash their presence in the conventional world. Once the three sacred knights walked to the front of the teleportation gate, they looked up towards a sky that was further away. One of them spoke, "The Wizard Union's already here, but we can't fight them. What a shame!" The other one replied, "Wouldn't take much time to start a war with them, anyways." The other one reminded, "Leave! We're wasting too much divine power already." What he said just made the other two go quiet. They all flashed into the teleportation gate. Just when the teleportation portal was about to vanish, the golden light that was high and above also disappeared. At the spot where the teleportation gate disappeared, five elderly wizards appeared. It was a rare sight to see them so old because wizards would usually keep the looks of when they just became official wizards, so not many of them would look like they were in their older years. These five were different. They had white hairs and white bears. When they arrived, their feet did not make a landing at all. They made sure to just be a bit away from the floor. Unlike the three sacred knights, they made their appearances very discrete. An elderly wizard said with a hoarse voice, "Let the WIzard Union search this as quickly as they could. We must find out why they are assaulting Pass City!" Although Pass City was already massacred by now, it was actually the Nation of God that suffered a greater loss. The amount of divine power and strong soldiers deployed were just too much compared to the low-tier class holders and common people that were killed here. Although the Nation of God would always get their regular supply of divine power, this was by no means a sustainable thing to do for them. For the five elderly wizards, they just found it strange that the Nation of God would go this far as to just decimate a middle-sized city. If they were not awakened from their sleep, actually, he would just come here earlier and keep the three sacred knights at bay. In this sense, for the Nation of God to send so many over here, they had to go through a lot of risks. One elder wizard was not content at all, "What are the intelligence agency doing? They didn't bother to send an alarm! Nothing!" If the preparation was done a bit earlier, perhaps the Nation of God could just suffer a lot more loss. For the three sacred knights that were here, if any was to remain, the power of the Nation of God could just be lowered to a better extent. An elderly wizard witnessed how terrible things became, "Let's have the Wizard Union collect the corpses. These awful lots! They didn't spare the children!" Very quickly, the five elderly wizards disappeared. Ten-something minutes later, the teleportation circle that was inside the city started flashing out, one by one. A large number of wizards from the Wizard Union appeared. As soon as they appeared, they were all terrified of the devastation that took place here.. Some of them had known about the cruelties of war, but none of them had ever seen an entire city's population killed.
