Chapter 1081: Power Boost

“Circle spirit! Send me to the central command room!”

Abel spoke to the sensory circle with his power of the Will. After that, he was teleported straight into the central command room. He was alone. He needed to be alone to continue with his work. He began by opening up the energy storage. He could see a total of 5000 energy slots, each with one intermediate magic stone inside. He knew that the dwarves were really trying to impress him. He wasn’t satisfied, though. He knew that these wouldn’t be enough if he wanted to turn on the golden castle to the max.

So he extended his power of the Will. Without covering anything up, he divided his golden power of the Will into 5000 smaller branches. He took the gems out and replaced them with 5000 top-level stones out of his legendary portal bag. He was placing his research spirit in the same position to align with the circle spirit.

From here on, the circle spirit would take care of anything related to the circle, while the research spirit was meant to take care of anything else. He had gotten quite used to using the research spirit by now, and the research spirit just remembered most of his living habits. If he couldn’t use the circle spirit, there would be some time needed for integration. Also, the research spirit contained a bunch of information on wizardry heritage in case he needed it for training. For the circle spirit right now, he needed it for something more important.

Abel spoke to the circle spirit, “I’ll need to set up a circle consisting of ten battle forts. The circle would be elevated to surround the golden castle.”

From then on, he told his power of the Will to send data regarding the function and other properties of the battle fort.

The circle spirit responded, “Please wait, master! Analysis is still being conducted.”

Abel was glad. The circle spirit did not decline his command. This meant that the circle could be set up. As a circle spirit that was bred for a special purpose, it could perform analysis and research for a new one.

What Abel thought of first was the battle fort he first retrieved. All the forts he was in command now could only glide vertically, but they couldn’t fly independently. He thought to use ten for a defense formation. That was where the golden castle would be his greatest method. Even if he faced the most terrible foes, he could still pass the golden castle for defense. If there was an attack, he could climb the fire tooth spirit fort or use his large-size teleportation circle to escape.

The more he was in contact with the power of the spirit, the more he felt about his own inadequacy. On the surface, he matched law-defying wizards in terms of power. In actuality, however, one “divine bestowment” was all that was needed to kill him instantly. That, or any legendary class holder. He was not confident in himself, and although the Potionmaster Guild looked safe, he was still very concerned as the elves were not as good at handling dangerous situations as himself.

Yes, his spiritual sense had been on alert for a while now. That was the whole reason he felt comfortable spending everything to build this golden castle. He wouldn’t have to do so if he knew that the castle could be placed into his portal bag.

Abel then asked, “How much time before the circle spirit is done?”

The circle spirit replied, “The analysis will take less than ten days, Master.”

Abel couldn’t help but shake his head. It was not too long, but he expected it to be faster than this.

He asked again, “Is there method to quicken the process?”

The circle spirit spoke again, “Please permit access to use the calculating power of the research spirit, Master.”

The circle spirit seemed to have reached its limit. That, or it was just faster having two spirits on this. Speaking of calculating speed, however, no one could match the Lance spirit. After taking the 50-centimeter tall Lance spirit out of his portal bag, he placed it in the central position of the operation room and activated it.

“Open access to calculate, Lance spirit. Let it use your excess computing power,” Abel commanded, then turned back to the circle spirit, “How long would it take now?”

“One hour, Master,” the circle spirit replied. After that, a green light started shaking frantically on his body. The Lance spirit on the side also started flashing in green light.

Abel nodded his head, satisfied. It would be a waste for the Lance spirit to be put here for too long. He needed to bring it back to take care of the whole Holy Continent for him. He wasn’t going to wait too long for it.

Very quickly, an hour passed as the green light stopped flashing. He could tell that the analysis calculation was finished.

The circle spirit spoke, “According to the information you provided, Master. The ideal set-up is the octagonal hybrid circle. Eight battle forts will form form the shape. With two in the centre, any outside pressure will be dispersed evenly. There will be two defence barriers. One is through the energy barrier. As long as the attack is as powerful as the ten forts combined, it will not be able to break through the barrier. The other method is physical defence. The forts will withstand any attacks with the materials that they were constructed from, and the circles were meant so that they can temporarily trap any target on the ground.”

Abel hadn’t spent a lot of time looking into the circle, but he knew that there were a lot of special things it could do.

“Bring me to the top platform,” he spoke, then was transported to the topmost platform. He took out a battle fort from his portal bag, then activated it with his battle command spirit to overwrite ownership. He replaced the energy storage with top-level stones, and after a bit more work, the spirits were named from one to ten before he activated the hidden system. He then connected to the circle spirit so that they could be taken care of.

Just like that, although the forts weren’t visible to other people, he, as the master, could sense the forts even if they were hidden in the sky. They were meant to be combined with the circle spirit and the fire tooth spirit. They were then pushed so that the battle fort could be placed in their respective position. That was when the battle forts started changing shape. The big base on the bottom became even bigger, and it looked like this massive shield floating in the air. When the energy of the ten forts was connected, energy pathways were connected in between to form a whole body.

In Abel’s eyes, the battlefort was a super-large shield that blocked the edges and top. It formed a massive barrier with an arched tip. The surfaces were laid with complicated circle runes. The runes were for the circle spirit to take command of the ten battle spirits. The battle spirits were formed with an unknown alloy that was the best ingredient for crafting circles. Abel didn’t know too much about this stuff as he had never made much understanding out of circles.

When the circle spirit was connected to the battle fort spirits, every function of the battle fort was opened. This was especially true for things that Abel didn’t mention. They were also familiarised by the circle spirit. That was when the circle runes appeared. The octagonal hybrid circle was activated, and its performance exceeded that of the circle spirit. It was completely connected to the golden castle. Not only could the damage received be distributed to the ten forts, but all the excess pressure could also be directed to the entire golden castle.

The short-distance circle, too, was distributed to the surface of the battle fort. Not only could people be sent into the sky, but they could also be sent into the hidden system for concealment. On the other hand, aerial attacks could be used to target any enemies in sight.

Right now, the golden castle was a semi-sphere in the air. No matter where the attack was coming from, it could disperse all the pressure to each of the buildings that it contained. This meant that a successful hit would only be targeting all the buildings, and Abel didn’t know anyone capable of doing that. Maybe a spirit could, but again, this was very close to the Moon Goddess temple. The Moon Goddess would retaliate herself if any spirit wanted to come here. It was why he chose Haden Mountain Range to build this castle in the first place.

Overall, he didn’t think legendary class holders could break through his defense. It was just the golden castle at the start, so by his estimation, he still needed more than what he had now. Still, since the ten battle forts were here to withstand any attacks, he believed that it’d be fine if he were on the defensive end.

He commanded again to the octagonal hybrid circle, “Send me to the central command!”

Again, he was sent to the central command. This time, he put the Lance spirit away and took out the black spirit. He was slowly putting it away from the research spirit. It was meant so that a golden mist could be drawn into the defense circle. For this black spirit especially. He placed a few thousand top-level gemstones on the side so that detection would be easier if a spirit were to perform a scan. Any power of Will from an outsider spirit would be instantly devoured and deflected.

Abel had been meticulous when it came to the power of the Will scan. At this moment, since the circle could provide defensive benefits, he understood the golden power of the Will was enough to penetrate through that. He was very cautious of that fact. The Wizard Union forbade everything he had been doing lately. He was operating spirits to grow his own followers and to harvest worship power. He didn’t want to be a wanted man.

It was funny, come to think of it. He was just a level 21 law-defying wizard and a dragon druid, but he had been thinking about being assaulted by a spirit. That was just how things were, though. After taking the ancient totem all to himself and completely monopolized the “crystal angelic statue,” he had been literally growing an entire army of sacred knights on his own.

Right now, he was living next to the Moon Goddess to do things that would be under her detection. The black spirit could make sure that anything he was doing would not be spied on, however. The divine armor told him that the black spirit would be the first to find it if any divine spirit wanted to spy on him.

He was doing everything he could to make his golden castle as perfect as possible. There was an urge inside of him, actually, to find a powerful enemy to test this fort that he spent a bunch of wealth on. He was going to wait. He did have an entire set of ingredients to craft the super-sized teleportation circle. He did have the circle spirit to set it up for him, but he had no ways of containing it into the teleportation network of the Wizard Union.

So far, he had been thinking about trying to negotiate with the Wizard Union. He wanted to see what price he had to pay to gain this power. But, before that, since it was now dawn, and the golden light shining on the golden castle was making it stand out very much, he needed to find secluded circles to cover it on all sides. As he stood on the topmost platform, Doff was by his side to receive worship power from the ancient totem in its hand.

He was finally starting to feel a bit less anxious. He could still be exposed, but things had become safer. He raised a cup of water spirit fruit juice with a look of anticipation. He might as well find an enemy now to test how good his new home was. It was strange. He actually wanted some danger. He wanted it to confirm how strong his castle and forts were.
