Abe the Wizard

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.
