Abe the Wizard

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.
