Abe the Wizard

Abel returned to the Battlecry Plateau from Saint Castle. This time he did not use any Teleportation Circles, nor transit through the elves.

He couldn't use the Wizard Union's teleportation network, and he didn't want to bother the Moon Goddess since he had so many Summons with him.

What had happened had been a desperate situation, and he already had to repay the Moon Goddess for it.

He called out the Fire Tooth battle fort and sped into the sky.

—

His first destination was the shores of the Holy Kingdom.

Since Thief God Milton was the reason why the Holy Kingdom was going mad, he decided to bring him back.

Even though his negotiations with the Wizard Union went south, he did not want the cities in the second line of battle to keep being destroyed.

By the time Abel arrived on the shore, Thief God Milton was waiting for him. Soon they were all back at the Battlecry Plateau.

——

As Abel sat on the Golden Castle's balcony, he finally felt his heart calm down.

What had happened truly gave him a sense of his inferiority compared to a God Rank. He had been nearly helpless, and almost all of his tricks were useless.

Even that seemingly invincible Dark Gold Dimension Force in his soul was fragile in the inner world of another god.

After all, his soul was too weak. Even the most powerful weapon would not do much there!

As for his angel avatar, the entire Holy Continent would turn on him if they found out about it!

"It's a crime to be weak!" he mumbled to himself.

But soon, he remembered Wizard Hawthorn's body.

He reached his Power of the Will into the personal storage box and scanned Wizard Hawthorn's corpse. The wizard's equipment was quite good. His magic robe was made from a special material with the strength of perfect iron armor, and it even came with a level of elemental protection.

Still, it was not much use to Abel, and it was far inferior compared to the Rune Word gear he had on.

Therefore, that magic robe might not see the light of day in the near future.

He was not planning to let Wizard Hawthorn use it, even after his resurrection. He needed to make him a full set of Rune Word gear that would hide his identity.

It was best to not let the Wizard Union learn that he could resurrect dead God Ranks as long as possible.

There was also a Portal Ring on the dead wizard. Its capacity was huge, and it was filled with God Rank training resources!

But what Abel cared about the most were the books. They were Hawthorn's personal Wizard Guides, the knowledge of which was something Abel lacked the most.

The only Wizard Guide Abel had received was from the Lightnings, and back then he was only an elite wizard. The things he was able to access were not that powerful.

Of course, his wizard's journey was unlike anyone else's, so he needed large amounts of wizardly knowledge to make up for it.

Besides those things, there were not many other valuables on Wizard Hawthorn, and the only thing he would return to Wizard Hawthorn after his resurrection was the Portal Ring.

After all, not many things could move Abel's heart by this point.

When it came to gear, nothing came close to his Rune Word equipment, and he would soon be able to make even higher quality gear in the Hell Furnace.

As for training resources, no one even came close to his unlimited amounts of top level gems, the Faith from Doff's Kingdom, and the intelligence fruit which had a greater effect than large Mana Gathering Circles. Therefore, he couldn't care less about what ordinary wizards normally used.

Abel waved at the god Summons around him and said, "Off you go!"

Since the Mountain God, the Ice God, the God of Black Fog, and Goddess of the Hunt had stopped their work to help him. What they had been working on had to be scrapped, which was a huge loss for them.

After they bowed, each of them returned to their Divine Realms.

Abel then turned and said, "Milton, take a trip to the Wizard Union. See if you can sneak inside!"

"Yes, master!" Thief God Milton bowed.

If the Wizard Union didn't give him a satisfying answer, he would make a move himself. After all, he was very curious about the second level under the Wizard Union, ever since he had sensed a great danger the last time he had invaded with his second God Rank.

Revenge could go too far, so last time he had stopped after he took four Divine Bodies.

——

After Thief God Milton left, Abel teleported to an ocean that belonged to the dragons from the Golden Castle. Doff's avatar and God Ranks One through Four came with him.

He arrived at the Lizer sea once again, and happily there were still not any God Rank sea monsters around. Of course, that was probably just because it didn't have any valuable resources around.

Compared to the God Ranks on land, the God Ranks in the ocean lived a much better life, ruling their own territories.

"Protect me!" Abel ordered his Summons. His 5 God Rank Summons surrounded him and the Fire tooth in all directions. At the same time, they unleashed their energy and scared all the sea monsters away.

—

"Again?" Big Horn Barthomo was in his den. He sensed that familiar energy, so he quickly retracted his own presence.

He decided that after this he would move away. Even with some resources around, it was way too risky to stay with so many God Ranks visiting from then and then.

He thought about the sea turtle Ludwig. He had been beat up to the point where he had to give up his shell.

—

Abel didn't know Big Horn Barthomo was still around, but he was indeed very curious about his lightning horns…

Abel repeated the resurrection process he knew all too well by this point, from using the Holy Bone Card to form a new soul with Soul Potions, then strengthening it, to finally recovering the body with Full Recovery Potions.

It all went as smoothly as water.

"Huh?" But when Wizard Hawthorn was starting to reform his Wizard Pattern, Abel suddenly realized something different from his soul.

Wizard Hawthorn was Rank 38, the strongest Abel had ever seen.

All the God Rank Wizards he had seen in the past were Rank 36, and as far as he knew, the weakest God Ranks would be the first to get Summoned.

It was a pity that such a powerful wizard did not even get to face Abel and died by his own arrogance.

The resurrection of a Rank 38 Wizard needed an ocean of energy, and Abel satisfied him as much as he desired with countless top level ice and fire gems.

When it came time to recover his world, Abel reached out with his Dark Gold Dimension Force and replenished it.

It was scarily powerful, and only Abel could do something like it!

Thousands of top level gems were absorbed, and the Dark Gold Dimension Force was drained to the point where it was half-transparent.

Still, recovering the Dimension Force was simple. All Abel needed to was to activate a Scroll of Town Portal, step through the Portal, and it would automatically begin to absorb the dimension force around him. Therefore, Abel was not worried about using too much of it.

Wizard Hawthorn's world was reformed successfully. Although it was not as powerful as before, it should be fine given enough time, and it was already more powerful than the other God Rank Wizard and Knight Summons he controlled.

With this new Rank 38 Wizard around, the Wizard Union would definitely start suspecting him!

"Let's not expose you for now!" Abel smiled weirdly and added, "From now on you will be called God Rank Five!" Since these God Ranks had all come out of nowhere, it was best to give them casual names.

The Fire Tooth quickly landed on Lizer island. "Commander Spirit, build a Teleportation Circle here!" Abel ordered.

Ever since the Magic Circle Spirit had taught the Commander Spirit how to build a Super Teleportation Circle, it could build normal ones by itself with no oversight.

Still, it did not have the flexibility the Magic Circle Spirit had when it came to the construction process, it could only build one step by step. Abel let out twenty construction puppets and the materials needed.

Since there were no God Rank sea monsters around, Abel was more than happy to build a Teleportation Circle here.

This would make his travels much easier, not just in resurrecting future God Ranks, but allowing him to escape out into the ocean if things really turned bad.

After all, no one would mess with his various faithful grounds, including that of the dwarves, as long as he stayed alive.

Anyone with a brain would know the consequences of messing with ten God Ranks!

——

After an hour, the Teleportation Circle was set up and Abel followed up with a Barrier Circle to hide it.

Considering that it was located on a tiny island in the middle of the vast ocean, no one should be able to find it.
