Abe the Wizard

“No!” Head Commander Donald yelled in sorrow.

He was surrounded by the 5 wizards. Those 5 wizards had basically merged into one by connecting their defense spells, fully blocking all of his surroundings.

The intermediate wizards had their hands placed on his shoulder, dragging him along as they flash away.

The charge and explosion of those 4 other head commanders had attracted the attention of wolf riders, which allowed these 6 men to flash away and successfully escaped quickly.

If those wolf riders were skilled, the 5 wizards would still have difficulty escaping with head commander Donald.

However, most of those wolf riders were newly recruited. They had only been training for a few days, so they could not follow the instruction of wolf rider captains perfectly yet.

On the other hand, those 5 intermediate wizards were extremely experienced. They had fought countless battles, and they had a good understanding of wolf riders. They could see how strong a team of wolf riders was at a glance.

Therefore, they were able to identify the weakest point of those wolf riders and quickly flash away to safety. Although those wolf riders did try to attack them, their method of moving was just way too hard to grasp for those worgens who had just become wolf riders.

The defense circle created by merging defense spells had also further strengthened the defense of those wizards. That was why they could counteract so many spears and arrows without a single injury.

Those wizards did not stop, even after they had escaped from that seemingly endless amount of wolf riders. They knew as long as there was a blue falcon above them, they would not be safe.

They kept casting the ‘move in a flash’ spell without a single break for 50 miles when the desert of death came into view.

“The desert of death is just upfront. As long as we can get in, we will all be safe!” Wizard Hubert yelled. He just couldn’t help himself and get excited.

“Quick, those blue falcons are too annoying!” Wizard Laski said in frustration, looking back at those blue falcons.

There were at least 10 blue falcons viciously gazing down at them, so they could not rest. They were in the largest camp of the wolves, so there might very well be more attacks incoming. They would only be safe of them once they entered the desert of death.

At that moment, the dangerous desert of death was looking friendlier than ever before.

As they stepped their foot on the desert, those blue falcons immediately slowed down. At last, only one blue falcon remained while all the other ones returned.

Wizard Bunyan let out a long breath of relief and said with a laugh, “Haha, look at those sky eyes. They knew they couldn’t catch us and gave up!”

A smile also emerged on wizard Hubert’s face. “Let’s go deeper and find a place to rest!” Although they had lost 4 Head Commanders, they had escaped from death nevertheless. Most importantly, they still had head commander Donald who was the only one who knew about the exact location of the orc god blood. He wouldn’t try to think about the other head commanders too much.

The 5 intermediate wizards dragged head commander Donald for another 10 miles before stopping at a little hill of sand.

Those wizards had been flashing for 100 miles without stopping right from the start. This was their limit for all of them. They needed to quickly replenish their will and mana.

As soon as they stopped, Head Commander Donald lashed out furiously, “Hubert, Edi, and the other three are your friends. How can you do that to your friends?”

“Donald, we are not their guardians. They were in the orc empire; they knew the risks. If you are so smart, then what should we have done, bring them along?” Wizard Hubert said with a cold laugh.

Head commander Donald knew as well. Those wizards would not be able to flash as fast if they had brought 4 extra head commanders along, and most likely, none of them would be able to escape.

That was why those intermediate wizards had no choice; they had to let go of those head commanders.

Head Commander Donald was only able to escape because those wizards had carried him together, which distributed their spell casting burden.

“They were all best brothers of mine!” Head Commander Donald let out a long sigh.

“So, can you tell us the details of the orc god blood now?” Wizard Hubert lowered his voice and asked.

“Bring me to Nam mountain. I will put it together once we are close!” Head commander Donald said bluntly; he didn’t even need to think.

He was not stupid. If he told those wizards everything he knew, his fate would probably just end up like the other 4 head commanders.

Wizard Hubert exchanged glances with the other 4 wizards and nodded. “Ok, we’ll bring you to Nam Mountain!”

“I’ll have a rest first; I’m dying!” Wizard Bunyan said lethargically as he took a seat on the sand.

His ice armor was defused just in time and directly melted onto the sand.

He couldn’t bother to recast the spell. The tiredness had almost made him want to lie down.

Suddenly he felt something twitching under him, and he let out a scream of agony.

“What’s happening!” Wizard Hubert asked as he quickly turned to Wizard Bunyan.

“I’ve got bitten by a snake!” said Wizard Bunyan with an ugly look on his face as he took out a bottle of poison antidote from his portal bag and poured it down his throat.

However, it seemed like the poison antidote was not as effective as he had expected. Soon, black smog filled his gaze, and he lost the ability to focus.

“I don’t want to die. I said I would live for 100 years!” However, that was the last thing Wizard Bunyan had said. His breathing stopped, followed by his heart.

Wizard Bunyan had died right in front of Wizard Hubert just like that. He then turned to the others and said. “Everyone remember, maybe sure to never let your guard down!”

“A vicious snake!” A strange feeling emerged within head commander Donald. A powerful intermediate wizard had been killed by an almost unnoticeable snake in an instant.

Normally the relationship between those intermediate wizards and head commanders was quite good. But in the face of danger, their friendship meant nothing.

Head Commander Donald wasn’t sure if he should feel happy or sad. He was happy that wizard Bunyan had gotten his karma after leaving those head commanders behind, but at the same time, it was quite depressing to see such a powerful wizard die within a desert without a fight.

“I’ll take the portal bag. I’ll bring it back to his family!” Wizard Hubert said as a flash of white light emerged from his hand. The portal bag flew towards him under the telekinesis spell.

As those 4 intermediate wizards and head commander Donald were within the desert of death, Abel was casually flying above the rocky round with no rush.

During the day, he would admire the beauty of the orc empire’s scenery from the sky, and at night we would stop his battle fort 03 in mid-air and enter the dark world. With the help of Johnson, Flying flame, and White snow, cleaning up Lut Gholein became easy.

The rocky waste and dry hills were both cleaned up quite well. His next destination was the far oasis. He was not planning to enter the caves outside the city yet. He wanted to clean up all the targets on the ground first.

Johnson, Flying Flame, and the new White Snow could not enter a cave. So those battles still depend on the spirit guardian knights. Therefore, Abel had left the most challenging to the last.

Most importantly, he just did not have the confidence to defeat those dark gold bosses from hell with his current abilities. He had a plan; he would at least need to grasp the ‘move in a flash’ before he picked a fight with those dark gold bosses from hell.

In other words, the main thing Abel needed to do was to become an intermediate wizard. He was already ranked 10. He would be able to reach the pinnacle of beginner wizard with another level up.
