Abe the Wizard

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The 10 elite wizards who came to support Sland City were attracted by what was going on, but none stepped up.

They were all rank 16, in the face of a rank 18 and 4 rank 17 wizards, there was nothing they could do.

The giant protection circle of Sland City had not recovered from the Holy Knights invasion, which gave Wizard Godwin an opportunity.

Wizard Godwin had gotten the news that Sland City was attacked not long after he let. He did not go for support immediately. Instead, he sent a wizard out to examine the condition.

They heard what Abel was fighting with the Holy Knights, and his final move was a giant iron monster. That iron monster had taken a big hit from the fight, and the giant protection still needed some time to recover, so Wizard Godwin decided to head back with his men.

“Wizard Godwin, I’m very curious. Why did the evil knights invade Sland City a minute after you left? You came back a minute after they left, too. What a coincidence!” Abel spoke under the suppression of the wizards.

He was immune to the suppression of those wizards, and he had Johnson by his side. As long as Johnson could withstand the first round of attacks from those wizards, he could escape.

Although Johnson had taken a good beating, most of its power remained. Beside the weight of its body, it was also enchanted by hell.

Especially that mana burn effect, which gave Johnson a powerful resistance to most spell attacks,

Abel was confident that he could escape, but he didn’t want to. Instead, he thought of how he could strike back.

Wizard Godwin was not wrong to suppress Abel’s wizard core with his rank 17 wizards. It was the most common method after all.

As for the beat-up looking Johnson by the side, he didn’t even bat an eye.

He was so glad the Holy knights forced Abel to show his final hand. The idea of Abel escaping in this condition didn’t even come across his mind.

He was just not expecting Abel to speak; not only that, but Abel had mocked him.

“Wizard Abel, Stop your nonsense. The blizzards are constantly at war with the evil. Do you think we have any connection with the Evil Knights?” Wizard Godwin yelled.

He had to make it clear. If a rumor like this leaked out, the blizzards would likely punish him.

This would not be a problem if he was not injured, but he had lost his right hand. His power had also taken a big hit.

“Wizard Godwin, how come you want to kill me right after I defeated the Evil knights?” Abel yelled back.

He not only wanted wizards nearby to hear him but everyone who hadn’t left.

“Yeah, Wizard Abel has stopped that elite evil knight by himself. If he didn’t risk his life, Sland City would be gone already!” An orc fighter yelled. It was their blunt nature.

“Yeah, What a coincidence. They came right after the evil knights left!” A worker from the Wizard Union added.

Their comments had affirmed the truth of Abel’s word and added to the weight of the rumor.

“I know, right, and they want to kill our hero as soon as the evil knights left!” Another fighter added.

The Holy Knights left many gears. Although those fighters didn’t get any light gems, those gears were enough to make them happy.

They knew it was Abel who killed those Holy Knights and deliberately left those gears for them. The 40 Holy Knights killed by the priests, on the other hand, had nothing left on them.

Although those fighters kept their mouth shut when Wizard Godwin first appeared, more and more of them began to express their thoughts when the first fighter spoke up.

“Shut up. I’ll kill whoever keeps talking!” Wizard Godwin yelled. He just couldn’t stand anyone bad-mouthing him.

His yell immediately sent the fighters in silence, but it angered the remaining elite wizards.

“The Blizzards really are arrogant. Still have guts to yell after dealing with the evil knights!” A rank 17 wizard said with a cold laugh.

“Of course, those are the blizzards. Maybe those rewards the evil knights took goes to them as well!” Another wizard added.

Most of those wizards were not a part of the blizzards; they all had their own wizard line. The threat of Wizard Godwin only adds to the sarcastic tone in their voices.

Unlike the fighters, those wizards knew Wizard Godwin couldn’t make a deal with the evil knights. He was a battle wizard. His achievements in the wizard union could not be forged.

What they said was just a response to Wizard Godwin’s threat and made him even more furious.

However, they didn’t know the condition of Wizard Godwin at the time. He was a little emotionally unstable after losing his right arm. If not, he wouldn’t have headed to Sland City with his men the moment he heard Abel was there.

“Shut up!” Wizard Godwin roared as he threw a fireball at Abel. He was mad, but he didn’t want to fight against so many elite wizards. All he could do was to unleash all his fury on Abel.

The fireball was fast, but it wasn’t faster than Johnson. Johnson did a twist, and the fireball landed on its body.

A few damaged iron balls blasted open as soon as they made contact with the fireball. Johnson was looking even more beat up.

At the very same time, the 4 rank 17 wizards made their move as well. Ice spells were normally a little slower than the others; even if their spell patterns were set, the spell’s speed was not quick.

Due to Johnson’s and the area it could protect, the only suitable spell was the ‘blizzard’ spell.

By the time the blizzard could appear above Abel and Johnson, Abel turned into a white light and flashed away. Johnson, on the other hand, turned into a black beam and vanished as well.

Abel reappeared 5 meters from an elite wizard who just mocked wizard Godwin. This position seemed random, but it was calculated.

Another fireball flew towards him as he reappeared.

Even though Wizard Godwin had lost his right arm, his fighting instinct remained. The fireball was already flying towards Abel the moment he appeared.

Abel reacted quickly and flashed again. The fireball then continued towards the elite wizard near him.

That elite wizard was shocked, he was expecting the fireball at all, and he didn’t have time to cast a move in a flash.

He scanned in his portal bag with his power of the will and ignited a move in a flash scroll. He dodged just in time.

“Everyone, be careful! The blizzards are trying to kill us!” What elite wizard immediately had a change of face.

The higher rank the wizard, the higher quality their scrolls needed to be, so that move in a flash scroll was no ordinary scroll. It was made up of the rarest materials.

Most importantly, the wizard who made a move in a flash scroll would need to sacrifice their move in a flash level. On top of the failure rate and all kinds of challenges when making one, you could just imagine how valuable a single one was.

Move in a flash scrolls were treasures, no matter which Continent. Due to their demand in the Central continent, their value was even higher.

They would be sold out as soon as one appeared on the market. Most wizards who inherited the skills to make one were already apart of a wizard line, so seeing them on the market was extremely rare.

That elite wizard felt his heart hurt.

He roared and threw a fireball back to Wizard Godwin. The friend of this wizard also began to make their move on the blizzards’ wizards.

All of a sudden, sounds of fireballs exploding against blizzard storms emerged. The white light of move in a flash sets off. All kinds of spell filled the battlefield where the Holy Knights left off.

Abel never expected himself to open up a flood gate like this. Half of the 10 elite wizards were making their moves, and the wizards from the blizzards could no longer chase after Abel.

However, Abel would not leave anyway. He would not let the Blizzards go this easy.

He knew his spells could not do anything to the rank 18 Wizard Godwin. Wizards were not Holy Knights.

Their bodies were weaker, but they had powerful defense spells to make up for that.

The Holy Knights could counteract an attack brutally and recover as they kept fighting. Even if they couldn’t recover, their body would be able to sustain a battle with most injuries. Taking their life in one strike was almost impossible.

On the other hand, once you broke a wizard’s defense, their lives would be in your hand.

If Abel wanted to hurt Wizard Godwin, his only option was to use the bursting crossbows again or summoning Flying Flame. He had fallen for those little war puppets once and had most likely learned his lesson.

Therefore, Abel picked a rank 17 wizard from the blizzard and connected with Johnson through the soul chain.

Lightning spell patterns flashed in both his hands, and he fully unleashed his power of will on the entire battlefield.

He then ignited his lightning spell and cast it towards the blizzard wizard he selected.

Elite wizards in battle were extremely quick, especially a rank 17 one. After a while, the only things damaged were the buildings. Not a single elite wizard was hurt.

The wizards from the blizzards also had their power of the will unleashed. They sensed Abel’s lightning attack as soon as they were targeted.

He flashed away and reappeared. However, another lightning was already coming his way. It all happened too quickly. He did not have enough time to flash again.

Without considering, he ignited a move in a flash scroll and dodged the attack. He reappeared 400 meters away from Abel.

He was ready to strike back, but as he prepared a fireball, another lighting was coming towards him.

This almost drove him insane. A double spell attack was understandable. All he needed to do was to have a spell prepared on each hand. However, he just couldn’t understand Abel could cast 3 intermediate lightning spells faster than him igniting a move in a flash scroll. It made no sense.
