Abe the Wizard

Abel’s power of the will turned into the shape of the Horadric Malus within the magic circle. Of course, it didn’t have the ability of the real Horadric Malus. It was just that Abel was familiar with using that Holy tool of the Dark World.

The target of his power of will was the wizard core. As Grand Grandmaster Blacksmith, Abel was very confident in his forgery.

He knew his wizard core was an iron base waiting to be hammered. He had done that way too many times. He no longer sensed any worry.

The world stone ignited. The wizard core was clearly depicted in his mind. Every corner was turned into data.

As his power of the will heavily slammed on the wizard core. There was a strange connection between his soul and the wizard core, and that strike had sent a shiver in his soul. If his soul wasn’t so much stronger than a normal wizard, that strike might have turned him unconscious.

The wizard core slowly began to shrink.

Abel felt his heart lift. Maybe he was right. If a wizard core could be shrunk with forgery, then it could be solidified by it.

He kept hammering down with his power of the will, and his soul kept shaking.

His power of the will was just like the real Horadric Malus in his eyes. He saw himself standing in front of a furnace, and the wizard core was his work.

With his skill as a Grandmaster Blacksmith and the ability of the world stone. He could see every slight change that was happening to the wizard core. He kept calculating which part half had a higher concentration and which part had a lower one.

He maintained his balance. If he wasn’t so well trained, his wizard core would fall apart already.

He was well-read, but no wizard had ever done anything like this.

Of course, no elite wizard had enough time to become a Grandmaster Blacksmith as well.

His wizard core was glowing brighter and brighter with every strike. As the energy within got more concentrated, its quality grew.

If his original wizard core could sustain a rank 18 wizard pattern, now it could sustain a rank 20 one, but Abel did not stop there.

Abel didn’t know, but there was some special power of the will technique to condense a wizard core in legends. It was just that no wizard would want to treat their wizard core this harshly.

A wizard core was a wizard’s foundation, their source of energy. It could fall apart if not careful.

If a level up failed, they could try again next time. But if a wizard core was damaged, the whole life of a wizard would be over.

Unlike the others, Abel had the world stone. He could do anything with perfect accuracy, which was another thing that gave him his confidence.

Of course, he would also only do crazy things like this because his head commander senses did not alert him of any danger.

Abel’s body also began to shake. Luckily the carrier circle has separated him from the outer world, so the elves could not see what was happening to him.

Abel hammered 99 strikes with his power of the will. Finally, his wizard core was condensed into perfection.

His wizard core almost became diamond like. Since his power of the will hammered it down, there were many flat sides on his wizard core, just like the cuts on a diamond.

It was pure, clear, and transparent.

Abel was speechless. He had never heard of a wizard core like this in any books, but he didn’t feel anything wrong within him, so it should be fine.

“Did I condense it too much?” Abel thought darkly to himself.

There was no return. The only way to find out was to draw out the rank 16 wizard pattern on the wizard core.

His power of the will turned into a rune pen and began drawing.

The rank 16 wizard pattern was complicated. The level up would fail even with a slight mistake, and a wizard’s progress in the future would be affected.

This should be the hardest challenge part of the level up, but it was the easiest for Abel.

The drawing was quick, graceful, and precise. To Abel, it was almost like a flick of the hand.

The last stroke finished, and the rank 16 wizard pattern began to glow in dark gold. Slowly it was fused into the wizard core.

Suddenly, immense pressure from the universe emerged and slammed towards Abel.

A shocked look emerged on Grand Duke Edwina’s face. This pressure had directly penetrated the city protection circle and landed. Nothing could get in its way.

“The force of the universe!” Grand Duke Edwina gasped.

According to the legends, if someone so gifted even the universe was afraid of his existence, the force of the universe would emerge to destroy this genius.

Grand Duke Edwina could do nothing even though she really wanted to help Abel. All she could do was think about what kind of crazy things the Kingdom of St Ellis would do to the elves if Abel had died in Angstrom City.

Abel’s main soul sensed the force of the universe before it reached him.

It was not the first time something like this had happened to him. The last time, he became an official wizard, but luckily he had the oak tree to protect him. If not, he would still be in the Dark World.

His main soul was still in a level upstate, so it could not get distracted, but his druid soul reached into his portal object and took out a scroll of the town portal. It then ignited the telekinesis on the oak tree, and a white light grabbed him towards a blue water portal that just appeared.

A split second before the force of the universe was about to land on Abel, he vanished from the port and reappeared in the Dark World.

Unlike the universe of the Holy Continent, he sensed the universe of the Rogue Encampment welcoming him. He was the god of this place.

The rank 16 wizard pattern began to settle. He opened his eyes and felt a powerful energy wave within his wizard core.

He felt like he didn’t use the energy of a rank 16 wizard even without magic. This energy could suppress any intermediate wizard to the point where they couldn’t even make a spell.

Just like when he was facing the rank 18 wizard. It was the natural energy of a wizard core, capable of suppressing any lower rank wizard.

Abel knew he couldn’t stay in the Dark World for too long. He was not in his magic tower. Although he had a barrier circle, he was still in the elves of Angstrom City at the end of the day.

Soon, he took out another scroll of the town portal, and the blue water portal emerged again. He stepped his foot in.

Grand Duke Edwina looked hopeless. She wondered what she would say to the most powerful kingdom in the human world. How could she explain this to her daughter? She sensed how powerful the force of the universe was. Even she could not sustain it, let alone Abel in a state of level up.

The force of the universe came quickly and went. Grand Duke Edwina didn’t know that the force of the universe had missed its target and retracted.

This universe had only sent out the force to take down Abel because it thought the way Abel had fused his rank 16 wizard pattern and wizard core was beyond the law, but it would no longer do anything after his level up had completed.

You can see this as a ray of hope this universe left for Abel. If he could successfully level up even after withstanding the force of the universe, he would be accepted.

However, Abel did not withstand this force of the universe. Instead, it did not even touch him as he went into the Dark World for hiding. If that force really made contact with him, he would be turned into mush already.

Abel gazed up at the sky, feeling a little irritated. This level up had almost cost him his life. “Now I know why no wizards were condensing their wizard core this way!”

“Emperor Abel has died. Report this to the queen of the elves and the Kingdom of St Ellis. Actually, take your time with the kingdom of St Ellis!” Grand Duke Edwina said. She was still trying to process what just happened.

“Wait, can’t you see that Abel’s summons are still alive?” Duke Albert pointed at Flying Flame and White Snow in the sky and shifted his gaze towards Johnson outside the magic circle.

Flying Flame and White Snow still moved as though nothing had happened, and Johnson was still guarding coldly outside.

The souls of summons will take a big hit if their owner dies. Normally they would die immediately unless their rank difference was too dramatic.

“Abel is ok!” Grand Duke Edwina paused for a moment and said in uncertainty.

How could Abel survive the force of the universe? How was that possible?

Grand Duke Edwina kept questioning herself. She just couldn’t believe it.

The barrier circle vanished, followed by the protection circle. She was not wrong. Abel was standing as though nothing happened.

The scent on his body still had not settled. He was now a rank 16 elite wizard.

“Grand Duke Edwina, thank you so much for today!” Abel looked around and saw the large amounts of druid guards and bowed. He knew how much chaos he had caused with this sudden level up.

“Majesty Abel, I should have told you about Lorraine earlier so your mood wouldn’t shift up and down so quickly and caused an early level up!” Grand Duke Edwina felt very sorry.

“No, I have to thank you. My level up was very successful!” Abel smiled.

He was feeling great. The world of elite wizards had truly opened up to him. It was a whole new world to explore.

He could understand why Grand Duke Edwina had done what she did. Testing one’s love was common. No matter this world or his past world. It was just that Abel had stayed at the top for too long. He was no longer an ordinary of his past world, so he had overreacted a little.

“Thats great!” Grand Duke Edwina felt her heart lifted.

Abel did not stay in the elves for too long. If Blue Dragon Emmanuel did not invite him personally to the dragon abyss, he would immediately go to Wizard Dunn and tell him about his level up to know the true mystery of this world.

Abel was teleported to a giant cave through the ancient teleportation circle of the elves.

This cave was different from the ones of the dwarfs. There were no signs of hammering and digging. It seemed like it was blasted out with an immense force.

The physics of this cave also made no sense. There was no support on the ceiling and walls, but the floor was smeared with gold.

The teleportation circle Abel was standing on was located at the end of the cave, and he saw a blue dragon laying on a golden platform with countless mana gems and gold coins underneath.

“Bleu Dragon Emmanuel, Hello!” Abel yelled.

His voice echoed around the cave, but Blue Dragon Emmanuel remained still.

Abel was confused. Blue Dragon Emmanuel should be able to sense him the moment he teleported.

He jumped on the golden platform and looked at Blue Dragon Emmanuel. To his surprise, there was a big bump on his face.

“No way, Blue Dragon Emmanuel was knocked out?” Abel said in shock.

This was the dragon abyss. How dangerous could it be? Even someone as powerful as a blue dragon could get knocked out?” Abel was shocked.

He then took out some water from his Varaya’s ring and poured it on Blue Dragon Emmanuel’s face.

“Gold dragon Cornelius , Come at me!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel jumped up and yelled the moment he opened his eyes.

Blue Dragon Emmanuel was enjoying his meal a moment ago. Blue gold dragon Cornelius had finished his portion first and decided to find Blue Dragon Emmanuel for a chat, which was more like a fight.

You could just guess what happened next. Gold Dragon Cornelius stole his food, and he was knocked out on the platform.

“Oh, Blue Dragon Abel, long time no see!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel said, embarrassed.

He always tried to put up a powerful image in front of Abel, but he was just at his most embarrassing moment. It was awkward.

“Blue Dragon Emmanuel, thanks for inviting me. Your place is really full of gold, it’s very nice!” Abel did not bring up the condition of Blue Dragon Emmanuel. Instead, he changed the topic.

“Blue Dragon Abel, you really are a true dragon. Even if you’ve grown up with humans, your taste is just like us dragons!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel laughed. He loved Abel’s compliment.

Abel almost face palmed himself. Couldn’t Blue Dragon Emmanuel tell he was just trying to please him?

But then he remembered the dragons were not like humans. They were very direct. They would only say what’s on their mind. If it was good, it was good. If not, it was not.

“I have garnered these things from all over the world. As you know, is dragons can not get involved with the common world, so it took me quite a bit of effort to accumulate all these treasures!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel began to introduce his cave in excitement.

“Oh, I almost forgot. I must have been very rude” Blue Dragon Emmanuel shook his giant dragon head and transformed into his human form.

“Since I am the guest, I brought a gift for you!” Abel took out a barrel of Grandmaster wine from his ring.

Only Abel could do something like this. The production of those grandmaster wines was hugely impacted due to the food shortage. Normally they were only distributed in small bottles, and Abel had given out a whole barrel.

“Blue Dragon Abel, thank you so much!” Although Blue Dragon Emmanuel was polite from his tone, he impolitely snatched the barrel from Abel and gazed out the cave. No one was coming, and his heart was lifted.

Abel began to question if he came at a wrong time, looking at how careful Blue Dragon Emmanuel was acting. Things seemed dangerous.

Suddenly, Blue Dragon Emmanuel sensed something different. “Blue Dragon Abel, your scent, you became an elite Wizard?” He gasped.

Although human wizards were not much in dragons’ eyes, an elite Wizard was something they could respect. The only thing was that Abel had reached this stage at such a young age.

“All thanks to you. I levelled up suddenly when I was transferring here through elves!” Abel smiled.

“Is the human body really that good for training!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel mumbled as he gazed confusingly at Abel’s body.

Although the concentration of dragon blood in Abel’s body was very high, he still had a human body. The dragons recognised others by blood, so Abel was a dragon to them. But to others in the Holy Continent, Abel was a human.

The reason Abel had leveled up was not because of his dragon blood but his Wizard training. Which was something Blue Dragon Emmanuel did not understand.

Although there were not many humans with dragon blood in the Holy Continent, there were a handful in the other continents. All those humans would try to ignite the dragon blood within them to strengthen their power.

However, Abel was only 20 years old, and he had become an elite Wizard without the help of dragon blood.

“Ok whatever!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel shook his head and continued with excitement, “Blue Dragon Abel, come sit down. I’ll let you try something exclusive to the dragon abyss!”

This cave was decided into 2 sections. The left was a large open space for the dragons to leisure. That golden platform was Blue Dragon Emmanuel’s bed, and there were few golden tables and chairs for him to greet his other dragon guests.

The right sides were some wooden tables and wooden chairs more suitable for human size.

Blue Dragon Emmanuel led Abel to the right side and sat down. Soon, a waitress elf stepped up. She gazed at Abel with curiosity and placed down some food.

Abel also looked at the elf with curiosity. He thought the dragon abyss was exclusive to dragons. How come an elf was serving here?

“This is my dragon servant. Her name is Lily!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel saw Abel was curious so he explained.

Abel gently bowed and Lily immediately did a full body bow.

“If a dragon wants to try the food or enjoy the goods of another species, we have to turn into human form. The elves have given each dragon a dragon servant!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel waved Lily off and explained.

Abel understood, the so-called dragon servants were basically people who serve exclusively to the dragons.

“Let’s try the specialty of the dragon abyss!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel smiled and pointed at the food on the table.

Abel looked forward. There were 3 types of fruit.

“This is the thunder fruit, ground fire fruit, and frozen fruit. They were all exclusively grown in the dragon abyss. You can’t see them anywhere else!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel introduced with passion.

“Thank you, they really do look like nothing else!” Abel picked up a thunder fruit. It was like an apple with lightning sparkling on its surface.

Abel took a bite, and an electric shock immediately merged from the juices of the fruit, sending a shiver down Abel’s spine.

Treasure! Abel couldn’t think of another way to describe this fruit. He sensed that the shiver had lifted the lightning energy in his body and strengthened their bond.

His body was far beyond the limits of humans. It was strengthened by the dragon core and the ice crystal breathing technique. Now it was strengthened once again by the thunder fruit.

If someone could eat this fruit every day, even an ordinary wizard would be gifted in lightning.

“Blue Dragon Emmanuel, the thunder fruit is out of this world. The dragon abyss really is full of good stuff!” Abel exclaimed.

“Of course, try the other 2 as well!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel laughed. He had spent quite a bit of effort preparing these fruits. The production of these fruits was extremely scarce, and they had to be divided amongst the dragons, so each dragon could only get a few.

If Abel didn’t give him an extra 6 portions of food, there was no way he would be able to gather those fruits from his friends. Normally they would be taken up by the giant dragon the moment they were harvested.

The ground fire fruit had fire elements within them. However, they could easily be digested by the body, which could strengthen one’s power and make their body more at peace with fire elements.

The frozen fruit was also similar. The only difference was that it had ice elements.

Each one of these would be a treasure to human wizards because a human body could easily absorb their power. Things like these were extremely rare.

Every type of Wizard spell had a maximum and minimum power range. Normally Wizards could rarely reach the maximum power range. Even reaching the middle point was not easy.

The only way to increase the power range of a spell was to be at peace with the elements of the spell.

Abel was an outlier. He could reach a maximum power range with every spell because he could ignite the skill tree in his Horadric Cube each time he cast a spell.

“Amazing, I just ran out of Grandmaster wine. Keep eating your fruits, I’ll drink my wine!” Although Blue Dragon Emmanuel was a little sad, he didn’t want to take the fruit back from Abel. Instead, he laughed and poured a cup of Grandmaster wine.

“These fruits are amazing, but eating it all at once will be a bit of a waste. Can I take them back with me?” Abel said, embarrassed. He had got a taste of the power of these fruits, but he actually wanted to study the seeds of these fruits.

“Of course, they are all for you!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel was very happy that Abel was being blunt with him. This meant they were finally becoming true brothers.

Suddenly something erupted from outside the cave, and 4 dragons flew in. Red Dragon Nathaniel yelled, “Blue Dragon Emmanuel, what wine is that? We can smell it even from the outside!”

They saw Blue Dragon Emmanuel in his human form sitting with Abel, so they too turned into their human form and impolitely sat on the chairs next to the table.

By the time Abel had already put away his fruit. Even the seeds of the ones he ate were put away.

“You’re not a true brother. We heard that you beat up by gold dragon Cornelius, so we decided to pay you a visit, but you are drinking by yourself?” Blue Dragon Finn said, upset.

“Yeah, pour us some!” The dragons each picked up a glass and said.

“You guys really came right on time!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel helplessly poured the wine and sighed.

“Is this blue dragon your guest?” Red Dragon Nathaniel pointed at Abel and poured the Grandmaster wine down his throat. His gaze then sparkled a little, and he said, “This wine is amazing! Give me another!”

“Red Dragon Nathaniel, this wine is not easy to get. If you keep acting like this i wont give you any more!” Still, Blue Dragon Emmanuel poured him another cup.

“I know this is good stuff. Nothing ordinary can move our souls!” Red Dragon Nathaniel took a small sip this time.

Each dragon had lived for thousands of years. As they aged, fewer things could move them. The status of those grandmasters were now on par with the status of Abel’s food in their heart.

“This is Blue Dragon Abel. He is my good brother!” Blue Dragon Emmanuel said and turned to Abel ” this is Green Dragon Bridges, Red Dragon Nathaniel, Blue Dragon Finn, and Red Dragon Gabriel. They are also my brothers. We grew up together.”

“Nice to meet you all!” Abel bowed.

“I see, you are from the human world. You have the manner of noble!s” Red Dragon Nathaniel took another sip and gazed at Abel.

He didn’t care too much about Abel. Although he had the blood of a blue dragon, and that was almost on par with a giant dragon, Abel was too weak. To the point where he didn’t even want to bat an eye on him.

If Blue Dragon Emmanuel didn’t call him a brother, he would even say hi to him.
