Abe the Wizard

Chapter 766: Responding to Provocation

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“You are a dead man, Grandmaster!”

Priest Daniel’s eyes were red with blood. He screamed in pain. He couldn’t forgive himself for the blunder he made. It was his fault that the six advanced priests had to suffer such heavy losses. All their skeletons were dead, and along with that, so was their reputation in the Orc Empire.

Still, the feeling of wanting Abel to suffer was greater than the pain of losing so much in an instance. Priest Daniel wanted Abel dead, but before that, he wanted him to suffer mentally. Having the enemies squeal before they die was always one of the many pleasures of being an advanced priest.

There were six advanced priests against Abel. Even if the skeletons were dead, they still thought that they could fight him and Johnson.

Abel shook his head in disapproval, “You know, that’s a high price you’re paying to go after me. Don’t you all think that you’re too irrational?”

“Everything has a price, Grandmaster,” Priest Daniels scoffed, “You destroyed our sacred relic, and you will pay the price for it.”

Abel continued to shake his head. He thought that his disguise in the Orc Empire was good. It should have been enough to make all the orcs mistook him as a worgen traitor. Still, when he went out of the orc battlefield, it wasn’t hard for anyone to realize his real identity.

To prepare for a possible orc invasion, he even went as far as to reinforce Harry Castle’s defense. Just when he thought that the Orc Empire was too weak to even try, here they were, plotting a trap like this to try to end his life.

Priest Daniel said pridefully, “Did you know, Grandmaster Abel? I’ve spent a whole month learning about you to get you here.”

There wasn’t any fear in Abel’s face. Instead, he was looking extraordinarily calm.

“Well,” Abel said with a smile, “I must say, it is a great honor to have you respect me this much. Never in my life, actually, would I expect six advanced priests to gather together to just kill me.”

Priest Cyrus spat, “That’s a lot of talking from a dead man.”

Abel raised his portal beast ring, “Come out now, White Cloud and Flying Flame.”

Suddenly, a black hole appeared out of nowhere in the sky. A loud dragon’s roar followed after. It was Flying Flame. White Cloud came after. It didn’t dare to go in front of a dragon.

The whole Niyan City became quieter after that dragon’s roar. Flying Flame was no longer a pseudo-dragon, after all. It became a real creature of intelligence. It might still be a young dragon, but the ranking that it belonged to was the very top of the dragonkind.

The dragon’s roar was one of wrath. It conveyed the wrath of a dragon. It’s desire to conquer the area that it was in. All the wolf rider’s mount wolves laid flat on the ground. It was the same, even for the six advanced priests. A lot of the mounts actually just died from the shock.

When they fell from their mounts, the six advanced priests still didn’t make a sound. They just watched in awe as they saw Flying Flame flapping its gigantic wings in the sky. Flying Flame was about as strong as Wizard Dunn. With its speed, it might just be superior in terms of its actually fighting capability. That’s right. It was probably even more powerful than a rank eighteen wizard, which was supposed to be the strongest being on the Holy Continent.

Just by looking at Flying Flame, Priest Daniel could feel that a fifth of his power lost due to intimidation. This was excluding the fact that all his skeletons were dead. He was confident enough if it was just Abel and Johnson, but when he saw that it was a real dragon that was facing him, he kind of just felt like giving up. The feeling was mutual for the other five advanced priests. They all couldn’t believe what they were looking at.

One thing was clear: even if they did have the ability to kill a dragon. They wouldn’t dare to. They didn’t want to invoke revenge from other dragons.

Priest Daniel finally regained the ability to speak, “A dragon...”

Abel smiled as he introduced, “Yes, this is Flying Flame, my very own summoned creature. You’re the first bunch that’s ever since it, actually.”

“What?! What?” Priest Daniel screamed like a maniac, “Are you insane? You have a dragon as your summoned creature?”

Abel just laughed back, “Ha, ha ha! Well, since when do I need your permission to do things?”

Priest Daniel laughed even louder, “Hee, ha ha ha! You’re a dead man, Grandmaster! If one of us leaves this city today, the dragons will be after you till you’re gone!”

Abel went silent after hearing that. He completely forgot. The dragons might actually go after him. They were very unreasonable. If they wouldn’t listen to his explanations, things could get very messy. He actually had to kill all the orcs here, but that just seemed way too difficult.

Priest Daniel cried out, “Everyone! Run for it! Escape here in however ways that you can! If one of us gets out, Abel is dead!”

“Out!” Abel quickly activated his portal beast ring. He was calling out eight of his spiritual guardian, knights. Apart from the spiritual guardian knight captain and Naga the poison-user, none of the spiritual guardian knights could do much damage. That wasn’t the plan, but still.

The plan was simple. Abel would have the spiritual guardian knights stall the advanced priests that were trying to escape. If any of them had to flash ability, they could be many times faster than the priest who had lost their mounts.

Soon, each of the spiritual guardian knights was commanded to focus on their own target, and so did Flying Flame, White Cloud and Johnson. It was time for another great battle.

Priest Daniel thought that he was prepared, but he seemed to have forgotten something. Dragons were fearsome because of their resistance to magic. He could cast all the curses that he wanted, but most of it would just be neutralized regardless. This way, the powerful “aging” cloud of curse didn’t leave any light of curse on Flying Flame’s body.

What the curse did was that it made Flying Flame even angrier. After becoming a dragon, it started to gain new knowledge that it learned from its genetics. It learned that a dragon’s dignity was not to be stained, and what Priest Daniel tried to do. It was making it very angry.
