Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1221: Enemy

Abel was in a rough spot as he gazed at his deserted golden castle. He didn’t want to be on bad terms with the wizard union. He didn’t even know the legendary wizards who were trying to attack him.

He sat on his starlight protection circle and looked around the forest where the extremely valuable purple trees were.

Maybe those trees would no longer be around after today.

Abel did not contact his friends since most of them were not powerful enough. He grew too fast. As a rank 26 wizard, even Wizard Dolan wouldn’t be much of a help.

Abel didn’t want to affect Wizard Dolan because of his business. He already did him a great favor by giving him a warning.

If he used his human identity, he could contact Gold Dragon Kemble, who he thought was powerful enough.

The goddess of the moon was also another option, but Abel had too many secrets. Help from her was his last resort. He would only seek help from her as a last resort.

“Am I really that fun to mess with?” Abel mumbled with a smile.

He had no more responsibilities after he sent off his servants and followers. His elf Bennett identity was forged anyway; if those legendary wizards really didn’t want to talk, he would flip the table and unleash a legendary all-out war.

He couldn’t help but laugh at how worried he was. The more powerful he became, the less willing he was to take risks.

Even as an apprentice wizard back in the days, he bombed a magic tower and escaped elite wizards. With his current power, he had nothing to be afraid of.

The august sun was blazing from above, and he sensed two energies coming from afar.

They were unbearably strong, and they were not trying to hide.

No surprise, they were the two legendary wizards. In fact, Abel was expecting even more since the legendary light outside his castle was a clear reminder to every legendary who thought about messing with him.

Everyone in the Wizard Union knew that the legendary knight was badly injured before he was killed, so Abel was expecting at least two legendary wizards anyway.

Abel exposed himself from the starlight protection circle, so the legendary wizards could see him.

Soon, he also saw the legendary hooded wizards under their hood above the golden castle.

The legendary wizards were surprised that Abel was waiting for them instead of hiding.

“Should I call you legend Bennett or Grandmaster Bennett!” Legend Jules was the first one to speak.

He didn’t want to make a move yet. Abel seemed prepared.

“Call me what ever you please, but can you introduce yourselves first?”Abel lowered his voice.

“Sure, I am Jules and this is my friend Harrick. You should know why we are here right?” Legend Jules let out a cold laugh.

They already decided on their moves, so there was no return. Saying one’s name was a basic act of respect for a legend.

“How would I know why you are here? Please tell me and I’ll see if I can help you!” Abel lowered his voice again.

“Ok, let’s get straight to the point then. Tell me your secrets, and I’ll spare your life!” Wizard Harrick was not as patient, so he yelled.

“Oh, so that’s why you two are here. The tree of life is my friend, and I can bring it to you. Maybe it will even help you level up!” Abel disregarded the attitude of Wizard Harrick and smiled.

“Legend Jules, there’s no need to chat with him. Just make a move!” Wizard Harrick was furious as energy began to gather in his hand.

WIzard Jules shook his head, but he followed.

Since Abel wanted to test out the defense of his golden castle, he did not make a move. Instead, he stood still with a smile.

The moment before the two legendary wizards were about to strike, a flaming red portal appeared near the golden castle and broke their attention.

Three legendary knights stepped out from the portal and froze the fight that was about to break out.

Wizard Harrick and Wizard Jules were stunned by how much energy the Holy Kingdom was willing to sacrifice for Grandmaster Bennett.

At the same time, they knew even more legendary wizards would arrive in 30 minutes.

It was an awkward situation. All three sides were enemies of each other.

According to tradition, Wizard Harrick and Wizard Jules should immediately start attacking the legendary knights, but they had quite a few people. If they weren’t careful, they would be in trouble.

The legendary knights were also hesitant to make their moves. Defeating those legendary wizards should be no problem, but the most annoying thing about wizards was their escaping speed.

Most importantly, they were in a battle with time. Each second of the portal door was using large amounts of energy from god, and it wouldn’t be long until more legendary wizards arrived.

“My name is Legend Chase. I can see that we have the same target, Grandmaster Bennett, so you have 2 choices. first is that we fight it out and the victorious side will be the one taking Grandmaster Bennett. But since we are running out of time, I believe this is not what you want!” A legendary knight spoke and broke the awkward atmosphere.

“What about the other choice?” Wizard Jules’ face sank, and he lowered his voice.

Of course, he stood no chance against those three legendary knights, and they would be in big trouble once more legendary wizards arrived.

“The other is that we team up to capture Grandmaster Bennett and negotiate somewhere else!” Knight Chase added.

“All we need is 3 hours of conversation with Grandmaster Bennett. After that, I don’t care what you do with him!” Wizard Jules thought for a moment and said.

“Haha, no problem. Let’s make a pledge!” Knight Chase laughed and drew out a complicated magic pattern.

Wizard Jules also did the same, and the five legends ignited them with their power of the will. Soon the two giant magic patterns merged into a giant magic pattern.

Seeing the giant magic pattern began to fade, the five legends let out a breath of relief and gained the trust of each other.

At least both sides agreed. The wizards would interrogate Grandmaster Bennett for 3 hours as soon as he was captured before handing him over to the three legendary knights.

As long as a pledge was set, the legends could not disobey.

Although there was nothing physically forbidding them from disobeying a pledge, it might leave a mark on their soul and affect their future level-ups.

Therefore after countless years of tradition, the powerful normally would not disobey a pledge unless their lives were threatened.

“Bravo!” At that moment, Abel began to clap as he levitated on the starlight protection circle.

“What am I seeing? The evil kingdom teamed up with the wizard union to take down a Grandmaster Alchemist who did nothing but help the Central Continent—a Grandmaster Alchemist with a headmaster badge of honour from the Wizard Union. This is the biggest joke I’ve seen all year!” Abel laughed as he pointed at the five legendaries.

Wizard Harrick was so furious his face grew red. If what Abel said was made public, his reputation would be destroyed.

Even the calmer Wizard Jules was not looking good; his eyes flashed with murder.

“Legends, let’s not waste our time!” Knight Chase suggested.

“I’ll make a move first!” Wizard Harrick yelled, and 10 spell patterns appeared around him. In a second, they were all ignited, and 10 giant flaming meteoroids roared towards Abel.

‘Meteoroid’ was the most powerful fire spell, but it normally took a long time to create, so it was best for a still target such as the golden castle.

The other legendaries did not make their moves. They wanted to see the power of the golden castle’s defense before making their judgment.

Abel did not speak, but his eyes were sparkling with murder.

All 5 of those legendaries desert to die. The three legendary knights were a must since they were the common enemy of the continent. As for those two legendary wizards, they deserved to die as well because they’ve teamed up with their common enemy.

Every professional understood that the Holy Kingdom was a threat to this world. If the Holy Kingdom seized power, everyone would become the demon from beyond’s follower.

The wizard union sacrificed thousands of years to banish gods and religions. The demon from beyond was not powerful at all. It was a war about the status quo and social structure.

With this in mind, Abel began to doubt if those two legendary wizards would betray their comrades in times of crisis.

The ten meteoroids slammed against the energy shield, and it began to wobble.

Abel was very happy with its defense. All this time, the magic circle spirit had not stopped working, and every protection circle in his golden castle had been altered.

Especially after Abel was threatened, he did nothing but double down on increasing their number.

With thousands of years of resources accumulated by the Holy Kingdom in the front line, his 500 puppets had been working like crazy.

The number of protection circles in his golden castle had doubled in the past month. By that point, there were ten mini protection circles in every inch of the golden castle.

Those mini protection circles formed a giant protection system, which was what ultimately created this insanely strong defense.

Even 10 top-level fire spells from a rank 28 wizard could only cause some wobble.

Abel cunningly looked towards the other four legendaries. He was very confident in his golden castle’s defense. He waited to see the shocked looks on their face after they all took their turns to attack.
