Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1086: Incoming Assault

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The ball didn’t have many people, but that didn’t make it any less social. In fact, since the guests were closely connected to Abel, the party was quite harmonious.

Abel did his absolute best to prepare for the food this time. He had wine, the grandmaster’s wine, water spirit fruit juice, and dishes garnished with “rabbit essence.” Many of them were synthesized from the Horadric Cube, not once but twice. This was about as good as it could get. There weren’t many people, again, but Abel was treating them like they were the most important people on the whole continent.

Of course, he could choose to lower his standards. He could have people coming here because he’s done favors for them. There were a bunch of them like that out there–just the law-defying wizards alone, and that would’ve taken up most that up.

While they were all stood in their own hallroom, the guests understood that Abel had acknowledged their identities. Not just that, but also the associations and groups that they were supposed to represent. For Wizard Hume, it was the resource department of the Wizard Union. For Wizard Clemens, it was the intelligence department of the Wizard Union. For Wizard Hal, it was the lightning clan. For Druid Lendo, it was the elven Royal Palace. It was the Potionmaster’s Guild for the three potion masters. Lastly, Lorraine and the druids with her were supposed to represent the Goddess Temple.

“Warning, legendary figures incoming. All defenses will be opened!”

Suddenly, the voice of the circle spirit was sent over. Everyone chatting was silenced. The sirens weren’t supposed to be this abrupt, but since Abel had two spirits managing the whole golden castle, they would’ve never made it into the database of the circle spirit.

Since the research spirit was here, once they shared their data, it became possible to scan the legendary figures after they were identified.

Abel said with a gloomy face, “Show it to the hallroom.”

He had no idea why a legendary figure would be here. Worst case possible, it might just be an assassin sent from the Nation of God.

On one wall, a screen was displayed showing what the scanning circle discovered. It was a golden armored sacred knight that was in flight. They could tell that it was a legendary knight. It had a golden pentagonal crystal in its hand. As though having detected the circle’s scan, they revealed a menacing smile in the scan’s direction. It then crushed the crystal in its hand, creating a strange energy wave in different directions.

Abel recognized this sacred knight. It was the one that was chasing him the last time he was on the frontline.

“Can you check if the teleportation circle can be used?” Abel asked his circle spirit, knowing that the Nation of God would always form a blockade every time they launched an attack.

The circle spirit replied, “The teleportation circle and contact circles were down, Master.”

Druid Lendo stood up, “I’ll help stall them, Master Bennett. Please! Just do what you can and escape!”

Wizard Hume said with a resolute look, “All of us can die, but not you, Master Bennett! You are too important to everyone on this continent!”

Wizard Clemens was shouting, “Let’s beat this knight while we can, Hume! Or if we can’t, we can put up a pretty good show!”

Wizard Hutton shouted back, “Count me in! The dwarves aren’t afraid of some knights coming from whoever-knows-where!”

They were loud, but none thought they stood any chance against a legendary sacred knight. In fact, any more reinforcements were going to end up the same way. But, unfortunately, the network was also shut down, meaning that there wouldn’t be any reinforcement anyways.

Lorraine looked towards Abel, “I’ll cast a divine bestowment. I think it’ll keep the sacred knight there for a few minutes. Just take your time, Bennett. Get on White Cloud and flee to a safe location.”

Druid Lucia couldn’t believe what she was hearing, “Lady Sainte! You are underaged! Also, you can’t fight a legendary figure with a divine bestowment!”

“No worries!’ Abel threw a grateful look at all the guests in his room, then finally looked towards Lorraine, “You don’t have to do anything, Lorraine!”

He then threw a funny look at Wizard Hutton, “What’s this about ultimate defence, Wizard Hutton? I thought that ultimate defence means you can take one legendary knight.”

Wizard Hutton was very anxious, “This is not the time for jokes, Master Bennett! The golden castle won’t withstand any longer!”

Abel laughed, “I’m the host, and you’re the guests. All of you. Just watch and see what my castle can do, alright? I’ll bring everyone out if the castle can’t hold it.”

He was very confused about how the Nation of God could locate him so quickly, but that was pretty much it. He wasn’t worried that the golden castle was going to collapse somehow. There were just too many resources he was throwing into the castle. The ten battle forts alone could bolster the defensive capabilities of the whole structure by tenfold.

All this time, the intelligence department of the Nation of God had been busy trying to pinpoint Master Bennett’s new residence. They had sent undercover agents among the elves, and they managed to find clues within the royal castle. It had something to do with how the Haden Mountain Range stopped producing the purple word tree a few months ago. So master Bennett technically became the area’s new owner, but he was still letting the royal castle do most of the gardening since they were more experienced with it.

That was until a few months back. Then, the managers returned, but the production rate of the purple word tree also died down. The Haden Mountain Range just stopped producing anything. Master Bennett was busy building his home during this time, and he was spending most of his attention on getting help from the dwarves.

Of course, Abel would’ve never imagined that the golden castle would be discovered by the Nation of God so quickly. Now, they were going to disclose that information to the public. The Wizard Union and the elves would know about it too, imaginably. Before that, however, Knight Ando was sent to the elves to take over Ervo Forest. About several dozen elves were slain, so a large-sized teleportation circle could be built there.

On a side note, Ervo Forest was not an easy location to get into. Anyone who was there would most likely face the attacks of many, many spiritual beasts. If the Nation of God hadn’t sent their best hunter, they would’ve never managed to set up the large-sized teleportation circle. Of course, the teleportation circle was still very far from Bay Law City. It was about one hundred miles away from the Haden Mountain Range.

So how did Knight Ando get escorted? The Nation of God spent ten years worth of divine power produced to force open a path. That same amount would be required for Knight Ando to return, but they were willing to go that far to slaughter for their expansionist plan. So they did that, and to their dismay, Wizard Larkin and Wizard Luke, two legendary wizards, managed to find out very quickly.

Before anyone inside the golden castle knew about it, several emergency commands were sent to the central continent. Most people inside the golden castle didn’t know, but the Wizard Union had been doing everything they could to stay on track with this. They tried all the possible locations to look for any suspects that could be infiltrators. They were sending security forces to guard the sacred items until everything went back to normal.

It was all thanks to Master Bennett that the recovery process happened a lot faster. As a legendary sacred knight entered the central continent, the Wizard Union and its active legendary wizards got excited that an opportunity arrived for them. They all wanted to give the Nation of God a bad beatdown to show who owned this continent. Since the fight was right inside the heart of the central continent, it would only take about two legendary wizards to capture this invader. Of course, it might have taken more wizards if Abel never introduced the “light healing potion” and “mana potion” to them, but this time, 2 legendary wizards were enough.

Knight Ando was standing in midair, “I’ve got your scent!”

The seclusion circle did not work at all. Knight Ando knew that Abel was living at the Haden Mountain Range. Nevertheless, capturing him would be another story.

As Knight Ando, as he described, got Abel’s scent. He felt a sharp pain in his finger. He could tell that half of his finger was gone. The Nation of God had been spending too much power lately. The godsent promised to heal his finger back if he could capture Master Bennett alive, but if he couldn’t, the missing finger would stay missing. That wasn’t the only reason Knight Ando was here, of course. He also held a personal grudge against Master Bennet. He never expected to suffer injury fighting against a big druid. His fellow sacred knights shamed him, and he had to prove that he was not to be made fun of.

He knew at the same time as well, however, that he didn’t have much time on his hands. He had to capture Master Benett within the little time he had. He couldn’t even spend the time thinking about harvesting from the Tree of Life. The Wizard Union must’ve known that he got here. There would be legendary wizards waiting for him. While he wasn’t sure about the exact number, he thought that it must’ve been much more than there were legendary sacred knights in the Nation of God.

As soon as he discovered the golden castle, Knight Ando made a snappy decision to activate the golden pentagonal crystal to shut down dimensional forces in the area. Master Bennett had to stay in the golden castle now. Yes, there was no way that a castle as ridiculous as this could protect him.

A castle with golden walls? Small-sized war puppets and war machines? Law-defying wizards and big druids? These were powerless in the face of the legendary sacred knights.

Abel was speaking meanwhile, “Why don’t I show you all this legendary knight?”

He wasn’t loud, but he was confident in the way he spoke. But, of course, when facing a legendary figure, only legendary figures would be expected to talk in this kind of tone.

Wizard Hutton was laughing, “Well, I’ll go! Why not?”

With one hit that knocked Wizard Bernie unconscious, Wizard Hutton went to throw his favorite disciple to rest in the corner. He wanted to make sure that Bernie didn’t get himself killed. Well, not that a legendary sacred knight would be so interested, but there was always the possibility that Bernie was doing something stupid to die early.

As for himself, no, Wizard Hutton wasn’t afraid of dying.

Wizard Hume and Wizard Clemens looked at each other and laughed, “Now that you mentioned it, we do want to see a legendary knight for the first time!”
