Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1127: Wall of Seawater

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In the morning, the air smelled of the ocean. This was a new experience. Abel was flying with his own body. He has had plenty of flying experiences on Flying Flame and the fire tooth war machines, but this was his first time flying like this. He had flown outside once before, but he was doing it with maximum speed. He'd estimated that when the powerful sea creature saw him, it would have already been too late to continue.

However, flying with the three legendary wizards was something completely different. They flew at about 300 meters above sea level, and every half a second, they would activate the "instantaneous movement" once.

To non-wizards, moving at this sort of frequency was nothing short of a disaster. Experienced wizards would not suffer from any travel sickness, but non-wizards would almost always vomit whenever they continued to move like this.

Wizard Dolan brought Abel around non-stop. He and the other two legendary wizards were watching Abel, waiting for the eventual sickness. But, of course, this was just meant to be a joke. They were quickly disappointed, however. After an hour passed, Abel's face was just as relaxed as before. He was even holding a conversation with the same smile on his face.

Wizard Golan could no longer hold it, "Are you just going to use the short-distance teleportation circle for your training, Master Bennett?"

He's asking because, well, druids weren't supposed to be this comfortable with moving at high frequency.

Abel laughed in response, "I have Wizard Frankenstein with me everyday, so I'll just have him take me around this time."

The Wizard Union would've known that Abel had a law-defying wizard bound to him. However, to have a law-defying wizard as a portable tool only was something no one would've guessed. Wizard Golan wasn't even sure if Abel should be so open about this.

Wizard Doran suddenly asked, "What's this smell, I wonder? This is greater than Master Bennett's dish!"

She then sniffed two times more. Her expression was relaxed and pleased. Abel tried to smell it as well. He almost started drooling when he noticed it.

Wizard Golan smelled and spoke, "This… this is good!"

As a matter of fact, everyone here had the instincts to detect danger. Whether it was the two legendary wizards or Abel, they would have their methods to see what's up ahead. Abel, especially. He's had a very keen sense of detecting what could be a threat. This time, since the smell didn't trigger anything, he was confident the three of them would continue smelling it.

However, his strong power of the Will quickly took control and forced him to resist the temptation. He almost let go of Wizard Dolan's hands to fall into the ocean. Wizard Doran and Wizard Golan were just starting to notice as well. They seemed to have realized that something was not going well.

Wizard Dolan said loudly and reminded, "Be careful! This must be the smell of the sea creature giving birth!"

He was the only one among them to not have been affected. He just noticed where the smell came from. When sea creatures gave birth, they emitted a special smell that was extremely tempting for sea creatures. This was precisely what Abel sensed. The essence was a reminder to all nearby sea creatures the newborn was a perfect feed. Once a newborn sea creature was eaten, their one level would go up. This effect was only if it was targeted towards sea creatures below the creature of that level.

It was no wonder Wizard Dolan was trying to send a warning back then. He could sense the life essence that was affecting them. It really showed how powerful the sea creature was. It wasn't like he was not affected by the smell, but as the captain of the squad, he was busy looking to see if there were even more sea creatures gathering. That was when he thought back to the Wizard Union's record of how sea creatures gave birth. The ones who wrote down these records had to go through life-and-death situations to really get an experience like this.

Wizard Dolan squinted his eyes, "Master Bennett! Unleash the ancient submarine now so we can hide in it!"

Abel looked in his direction and saw something even more terrifying. Some more powerful sea creatures were flying at low altitudes. At a further spot, more sea creatures were flying in the very same direction. The fact that they were flying without wings just showed that they were at least above legendary levels. These creatures were loud. The shock waves they generated made the air and water around them explode.

As for Abel, they were just in the direction that these sea creatures were advancing. Once there were so many sea creatures meeting each other, they would have no energy to take any hits. To prevent that, Abel took out the ancient submarine and threw it into the ocean in time. Wizard Dolan was brought to move into the submarine, which was closely followed by the other two.

Abel spoke loudly to the submarine spirit, "Go down! Camouflage on! Hide from all other presences."

The ancient submarine started to sink. Then, with a wave of light, it merged itself with the water. Abel and the three legendary wizards were standing amidst the hallroom of the ancient submarine. The walls showed what was happening outside.

They saw the fight between the two powerful sea creatures the other day. The fact that they could chase three legendary wizards away just showed how powerful they were. Wizard Dolan also had a tough reaction when he saw the giant sea turtle and the giant squid.

He spoke calmly, "This sea creature must be very powerful. Even The ones from last time are participating!"

The appearance of the two sea creatures just explained that the one that gave birth was more powerful than these two. Naturally, this frightened them to a great extent.

Wizard Golan was not comfortable, "Damn! If we met those sea creatures on land, we would have not had to do this!"

If they were fighting on land, the sea creatures would not be able to unleash any power related to the ocean. Still, that would never happen since they would always stay in the ocean.

"Aw Oh!"

A dragon's roar came from over the distance. It made all the sea creatures that were running pause for a bit. Some of them could not resist the temptation of the newborn sea creatures, and they all started rushing towards the life essence.

This dragon's roar was more impactful than anything. Some not-so-powerful creatures were also quickly awakened, and they started turning their heads around to escape. The dragon's roar was located from the ancient submarine. The legendary wizards were surprised.

Wizard Dolan was doing relatively fine, but Wizard Dorren looked pale. Wizard Golan had a terrible look on his face, but his eyes still looked normal. Abel seemed to be the most relaxed one, but he did seem confused.

Wizard Dolan asked, "What is the level of this dragon? Could it be an ancient type?"

He didn't seem to want the others to answer. This was more of a rhetorical question.

Abel gave him a quick response, "That does not belong to a giant dragon."

Wizard Dolan looked towards Abel and tried to inquire. The other two legendary wizards were slowly waking up from the dragon's roar. They all started looking towards Abel.

Abel explained, "I have some understanding of dragons. This might feel like a dragon's roar, but there's no real essence of a dragon. It seems to originate from something that resembles a dragon."

Wizard Golan slapped his head, "Master Bennett has the dragon transformation, yes! You must've had a lot of understanding about this!"

Abel looked towards Wizard Dolan, "Should we go see what sea creature this is?"

Curiosity was what drove class holders, but Wizard Dolan shook his head very quickly. He had 9000 bottles of the mana resistance potion. He had no time to waste.

Abel seemed a bit disappointed, "We'll continue heading back, then."

Without seeing for themselves how powerful this sea creature was, there was probably no chance that they would in the future. However, his eyes never left that direction. He knew that there was a pack of powerful sea creatures rushing in that direction. A great war was about to commence.

"Boom!"

A deafening scream detonated. Even the ancient submarine started to shake. Above the sea rose a monstrous shadow with a dragon's head but a turtle's body. The sound came from the vibration when the shadow emerged. At the same time, he could see that the sea creatures were thrown into the air like toys.

Abel was speechless. The ones thrown in the air included the giant squid and the giant sea turtle, two of the most powerful sea creatures. They were like babies, unable to resist in the face of the shadow.

After being thrown, the sea creatures tried hard to control their bodies. Those that couldn't withstand the dragon's roar had already fallen behind. Those with strength above legendary continued to fly. Finally, however, the shadow stepped downward like an elephant. A tall ocean wave forced the other sea creatures to stick on the wall.

Wizard Dolan's voice got coarse, "Quick, Master Bennett! Dive down. That's a dragon turtle you're looking at!"

Abel quickly commanded the submarine spirit to go down even further. Once the vessel was lower, the water wall started coming to them. He could see that an entire distance of several hundred meters was becoming a wall that was pushing on the surface. On the way, some of the fish were squished into mush. Only the legendary sea creatures survived, although a strange power was constraining them such that they just couldn't move.

There was a piercing sound from the tip of the submarine, like razors grazing through steel. Abel had just started to worry about the ancient submarine when a gigantic wall of water passed them. Abel swallowed.

He was tense. Just a bit further, and the sea wall might have crushed the ancient submarine. He didn't think that the submarine could withstand it, not when even those legendary sea creatures couldn't do anything back. Now, he really understood the dangers of the sea. With these kinds of terrifying life forms out there, no one from the continent would ever want to face them.

Wizard Dolan let out a long breath of relief, "Good, good. The dragon turtle just gave birth. Maybe its strength was somehow affected!"

Abel's mind was in a lot of distraught.

Wizard Dolan was patient, "Master Bennett, the dragon turtle is the descendant of the ancient giant dragon and the ancient divine turtle. They are very similar, but dragonkind has never acknowledged the dragon turtle. As a matter of fact, there isn't any real dragon's heritage among the dragon turtles, but there was a great change to their blood as time went by!

The dragon turtle, for accepting what the ancient divine turtle passed down, lived its life in the ocean. Although it was of the same origin as the giant dragon, it never wanted to get close to the giant dragons. And the giant dragons had no desire to connect with any dragon turtles."

"We're lucky to see a dragon turtle being born here! The mother must be at least ten thousand years old now! We're very, very lucky to see one of the most powerful spirits giving birth here!"
