Abe the Wizard

The atmosphere in the Warding Wall was very tense. All the God Rank Wizards knew what had happened to Wizard Smith and Wizard McPhee now.

But of course, there was no way they would let this news leak out to their lessers.

Two God Rank wizards were grabbed like a child; it was a total joke!

If Headmaster Eugene had not been not around, there was no way they would even have mentioned it!

Anger and irritation rumbled in the hearts of the two God Rank Wizards, and the other sixteen looked grim.

An insult like this would definitely provoke the Wizard Union to do something big, but all the God Rank Wizards hesitated when Wizard Smith began to describe Little Bro's power.

The reason why the Wizard Union was so powerful was because of their President. The dragons were powerful because of their Dragon God.

That was how the two forces had obtained all the wealth in the world, and were capable of cultivating other God Rank professionals.

Although Wizard Smith didn't know exactly how powerful Little Bro was, it had to be much more powerful than beginner God Ranks like them!

They had no idea how Abel could get an unimaginable existence like that to serve him at such an age, but their fear was real.

As for the four Dragon Headmasters, they were feeling very good as they tried to hold back their laughter. Abel's power was the Dragons' power, after all!

The Moon Goddess of Moon, the God of Wealth, and the Earth Goddess were also very happy, since another powerful existence was on their side. The Wizard Union would definitely need to think twice before messing with them now!

The Water Goddess and the God of Death, on the other hand, were starting to torture themselves with regrets. If they had known Abel had such power on his side, they would have had nothing to lose by pledging allegiance to him!

Even in the Era of Gods, an offer from a power like that would be an honor for any god not skilled in battle!

A Barrier Circle was raised among the wizards, separating them from the others.

The dragons and Abel's three vassal gods didn't mind, but it was very embarrassing for the God of Death and the Water Goddess.

They choose to stand with the Wizard Union yet the wizards didn't even let them know what they were talking about. It was total disrespect!

After five minutes, the wizards deactivated their Barrier Circle.

"Headmaster Eugene, is Headmaster Abel coming to the Warding Wall to support us in our fight against the Evil Kingdom?" Wizard Coleridge asked directly.

"Wizard Coleridge, Headmaster Abel is in seclusion. He just became God Rank, so he still needs some time to master his body!" Headmaster Eugene smiled back blithely.

"Headmaster Eugene, let me be frank with you. God Ranks like us can't hold back the Demon from Beyond. Only that god who attacked us can!" Wizard Coleridge informed the other seriously.

The reason why Wizard Coleridge was the one doing the talking was because Wizard Smith had been too insulted today. He had no more dignity left to speak again.

The Wizard Union really had no idea what they could do about Abel. The only option was to drag him into the war and let Little Bro fight to death with the Demon from Beyond.

No matter who won, it would be a victory for the Wizard Union!

"Wizard Coleridge, does the Wizard Union really think Headmaster Abel will help after everything the Wizard Union did to?" Headmaster Carlos interrupted. He was a red dragon, so he was blunter than the others.

Wizard Coleridge's face sank. "Headmaster Carlos, I am only extending him an invitation, but it is for the safety of the continent!"

Headmaster Eugene shook his head. "Then we can end the discussion here. Headmaster Abel will not come, his decision was clear when we spoke!"

At that moment, a powerful energy suddenly sped in from afar. All the God Ranks felt it.

"Mr. President!" Wizard Smith exclaimed. His voice was shaky, almost like a child begging an adult to stand up for him.

At the same time, all the God Ranks flew up without hesitation.

Even for the dragons and the gods, it was the minimum show of required respect.

——

Flashes sparked across the sky. They entered the front line and soon arrived in front of the Holy Kingdom.

It was the Wizard Union President, Wizard Basham! He had minimized his rest and returned as soon as possible!

He knew the Demon from Beyond was reawakening the moment he had entered the Central Continent. If he was a tiny bit faster, he would have sensed Little Bro forming its Kingdom, too!

The Demon from Beyond had not fully reawakened, but the President had sensed something strange happening to the Guardian Wings, so he had decided to test out something.

He took out his Inner World right in front of the Guardian Wings. The light around him began to bend.

For the past year he had been mastering his power, and his World had reached the highest potential of its rank. He knew he could go head-to-head with the Demon from Beyond.

After all, the Demon from Beyond wouldn't need to use the Guardian Wings if it had hidden powers.

With a wave, Wizard Basham Cast 200 Meteors from his World. They rained down on the Guardian Wings. Since his Inner World was more powerful than any beginner God Ranks, its power was much greater as well!

Two hundred giant Meteors slammed against the Guardian Wings' energy shield, sending streams of fire racing through the air.

It was like an earthquake going off. It was a force capable of destroying a city, but the Guardian Wings remained standing!

But it seemed Wizard Basham was expecting that. He held up his Inner World and directly slammed down.

The energy it brought out could be sensed even on the Warding Wall.

By that point, Wizard Basham's Inner World was the size of a continent, and it was usable as a weapon.

Bang! A thunderous blast erupted forth.

What Wizard Basham wanted was to strike while his enemy was weak, and kill the Demon from Beyond before it truly awakened!

But suddenly, something no one was expecting happened. When Wizard Basham's Inner World actually made contact with the Guardian Wings, not a single sound was made.

This was not because the Guardian Wings were gone, but because an energy of equal power shot up from inside the Holy Kingdom and dispersed it.

Wizard Basham's face sank, and he quickly put away his Inner World.

"Indeed, an ultimate defensive spell!" he mumbled.

What had happened helped him realize a few things.

The Holy Kingdom was no longer an area in the Central Continent. Instead, it was becoming something like an Inner World, or a god's Divine Kingdom.

There were only around ten lives left within it. All the other ones were just souls!

He had fought the Holy Kingdom back in the past, and he knew how many citizens they had. There would be billions of souls waiting for the Demon from Beyond once it truly awakened.

Even Wizard Basham was stunned at this move. After all, he had been doing something not too different out in the ocean during all these years!

Still, he had never thought about killing intelligent beings. Even killing ten thousand sea monsters during each sacrifice was reaching his limit. He just couldn't ignore how people thought of him.

But as for the Demon from Beyond, it had killed almost every single one of its own followers. Even though it was an angel with pure white wings, the name Demon from Beyond was quite fitting for it!

A thunderous voice emerged from the sky and covered the front line. "Basham, I'll fight to the death with you in ten days!"

There had been a spark of relief on the God Rank Wizards' faces after their President's return, but that voice made them realize once again just how scary the thing they were dealing with truly was.

The four Dragon Headmasters were also looking serious. They waved their hands and the three vassal gods stepped behind them.

"Tell Kemble to alert Headmaster Abel!" Headmaster Eugene whispered.

The other three Dragon Headmasters nodded. Something big was about to happen, so they needed Abel to prepare. At that moment, Abel was their strongest support!

As Headmaster Eugene's Power of The Will spread out, Gold Dragon Kemble immediately turned into a flash of white light, leaving the Warding Wall. He quickly arrived at a Teleportation Circle and disappeared.

The reason he had Gold Dragon Kemble deliver the message was because gold dragons were so fast even wizards could not stop him.

At the same time, all the wizards were fixated on what's happening on the front line, so they didn't even know that Gold Dragon Kemble had disappeared.

"Ten days, I'll be waiting!" Wizard Basham bellowed back.

———

Below the Holy Kingdom Central Temple was a closed chamber filled with tightly-drawn magic patterns. In the center of the room was a human-sized angel, levitating there with its wings flapping on its back.

He was the so-called Demon from Beyond. A loser in war, and not just a single war, but many wars.

He was forced into this world, but he had soon realized how special this world was. If he hadn't had his angel wings, he would not even be able to fly!

Therefore, he had to use his ultimate spell, the 'Guardian Wings'. He had needed time to prepare, and things were finally coming to fruition.
