Abe the Wizard

Abel sat on the Golden Castle's balcony. There was not a single person around him but it was the safest place in the world.

He found a comfortable spot and got on his knees. He needed to be in his calmest state of mind before leveling-up.

He took out an Intelligence Fruit from his Holy Portal Bag. The effect they brought was wearing off, but it was enough for Abel to reach God Rank.

It would be his last time taking an Intelligence Fruit as a Half-god.

He sensed the energy traveling through his Wizard Patterns. Soon, a mysterious glow emerged, and an immense feeling filled up his soul.

Soon, every inch of land in the range of 1400 meters was bathed in it. His Territories were leveling up, along with his Wizard Patterns.

After half an hour, his full body was filled with power.

He was basically at the same level as Gold Dragon Kemble, who had trained for tens of thousands of years, other than the fact that he was doing much more than training a Lightning Territory.

Gold Dragon Kemble had been stuck in a bottleneck and he never had the luck to level-up, but this would not be the case for Abel with his Druid Soul and Divine Body.

Since they were all God Rank already, Abel's main body would be directly affected and a level-up energy display shot into the heavens.

After all, it was where his confidence came from, and he needed the dragons' help!

Abel sat on the ground, his heart fully relaxed.

The Druid Soul was sparkling gold, and his main soul followed along.

It felt like sunrise inside him. He could feel his main soul getting more powerful.

This time, his energy level-up energy was almost as big as his Territories!

A sea of energy rushed into his body, and the golden glow became even brighter.

His brain was moving much faster, and he finally understood why God Ranks could Summon dozens of spells from their Worlds at once.

His body was also getting a little bit stronger, but it wouldn't matter much as a wizard anyway. After all, the foundation of his body was already too good.

The vast majority of the level-up energy was absorbed by his three Territories, which were transformed into one with his Mana and Power of the Will.

It was a familiar feeling. He formed a Rune Pen with his Will and drew out three Rank 3 Wizard Patterns in his soul.

In the Wizard Union Headquarters…

Wizard Smith suddenly paused as he was managing some documents.

He quickly looked outside, and saw energy racing up into the sky. He immediately knew what it was, but he just wasn't sure if it was Abel leveling up, or his Summons.

Abel was only Rank 32, which was already unbelievable, considering his age. Could he really become a God Rank in such a short period of time?

After all, a Half-god needed to be in seclusion for hundreds of years and find the right opportunity before they could level up!

"Wizard Hardy, anything special about the dragons during the past two days?" Wizard Smith called out.

"Special? The dwarves who were helping the dragons do some construction work in the ocean were sent back to the dwarves for a holiday!" Wizard Hardy bowed.

The dwarves were the reason why the dragons could expand their territories into the ocean. They had not stopped working for years, so why would they give them a break now?

"Maybe Headmaster Abel really is leveling up!" Wizard Smith murmured.

Soon, ten other God Rank Wizards arrived after they had sensed the energy.

"Smith, let's see who is leveling up!" Wizard McPhee called out as soon as he appeared.

"Ok, let's go!" Wizard Smith nodded.

No matter if his speculation was correct or not, they had to do something.

If the Warding Wall of Doomsday wasn't committed to paying such close attention to the Holy Kingdom, maybe every God Rank Wizard would have come along.

Twelve God Rank Wizards teleported to the closest city to the Battlecry Plateau and flew off towards the energy display.

The seven God Rank Wizards at the Warding Wall were stunned, but they couldn't go off duty.

———

Meanwhile, the Saint in the Central Temple also turned his head, and his heart dropped.

"God Rank Knights, what's happening?" he called out.

He was not a God Rank, so he did know what that energy was.

"A Half-god is becoming a God Rank!" Knight Marlo replied firmly.

Another God Rank Wizard was being born, which could impact their dynamics!

"Can we stop him?" the Saint frowned.

"It's in the direction of the Battlecry Plateau, so it must be something on Abel's side. We can't really do much," Knight Marlo sighed.

Abel had moved a hundred million followers from the Holy Kingdom, and they still had no idea he was responsible.

Until the Demon from Beyond awakened, the knights could only protect their Holy Kingdom as much as possible.

The Saint also had nothing to say. All he could do was gaze at the sight quietly.

———

"Headmaster Abel is the one leveling up, that's his energy!" Wizard Smith had interacted with Abel before, and was confident in his assessment.

"Indeed, but how is it possible?!" Wizard McPhee nodded and gasped.

"A genius!" Wizard Mosley mumbled.

All the God Rank Wizards knew how much conflict they were in with Abel, but they had totally underestimated Abel's own ability.

Wizard Smith had always thought they would be able to take down Abel once he was taken away from his Summons, but now it would be much harder!

"Should we do something?" Wizard Coleridge suddenly asked.

If they really got any closer, it would mean an all-out war with the dragons and Abel!

After all, the worst thing you could do to a professional was distract them during their level-up.

"A report showed that the dragons have already been preparing for Headmaster Abel's level-up. As soon as we approach the Golden Castle, they will immediately start a war!" Wizard Smith said with a sharp gaze.

None of the wizards moved.

—

Indeed, every one of their movements was being monitored by Doff as soon as they had appeared.

They were near Doff's faithful grounds, after all, and the fifteen gods were ready to fight!

Luckily the wizards did not make a move, else it would be a bloody battle. The biggest winner would be the Holy Kingdom!

But at the same time, if Abel really exposed his eleven new gods, it would mean that he was the one who had stolen the World Stone Heart!

———

Headmaster Eugene and three other Dragon Headmasters floated above an island with a Teleportation Circle. "Headmaster Abel really is leveling up!" he laughed.

Even after Abel had told him, he was still in disbelief. After all, Abel was still not in the fulfilled state a few days ago.

A normal Half-god still needed to find the right opportunity and get enlightened to do something like this.

Abel, on the other hand, went from Rank 32 to Rank 35 in just a few years, and now he was becoming a God Rank in just another six months?

How could anyone believe that? But he still had to believe as a Dragon Headmaster.

There were ten Half-god dragons around them, their numbers not be underestimated. A Dragon Headmaster could fight two God Rank wizards at once, and Half-god dragons could beat any Half-god wizards!

"Yes, it seems us dragons will get another God Rank on our side!" Headmaster Carlos smiled.

Although they had always treated Abel as a God Rank, it was all because of his Summons, who did not have dragon blood in them, so they could not be considered dragons.

The four Dragon Headmasters were extremely happy, but Gold Dragon Kemble on the side was feeling a little more complicated.

The little brother he had always thought needed his protection was surpassing him!

He was not jealous, but sort of helplessly glad for Abel.

He almost felt the urge to visit Abel so he might get the chance of being enlightened as well!

He knew Abel would agree as soon as he asked, but he didn't. He knew Abel had his secrets. If not, he would have asked the dragons to go to the Golden Castle already!
