Chapter 603 Tracked down
The tracking down skill Abel had talked about was basically the powerful data analysis ability the world stone had given him. With this ability, he turned in to the best patrol.All he needed was to look at a trace of the fiery bear, and he would find it.
Abel then quickly did a turn with his mount wolf, which made actual patrols such as Joey and Basil exchange gaze. Both of them were filled with suspicion. What can you actually see with such a speed?
Although Joey and Basil were not specialized in tracking down creatures, they had worked with other patrols who were specialized in tracking. Every patrol specialized in tracking down their target would need to pay extremely close attention, not just taking a walk in a garden like Abel.
“This way!” Abel increased his concentration range. In a spot 240 meters from his gaze, there were some broken down tree branches and marking. He then focused his power of the will on it. It was exactly the trace of that fiery bear, so he dashed forward and wore his mount wolves.
“Follow!” Head commander Bodley waved his hand to the others.
Excitement grew from k3305. It was like a ray of hope had shone down upon him. He did not expect Abel to find the trace of that fiery bear, but at the same time, he would not believe Abel would lie to him. In fact, Abel would only say something if he was certain.
All of a sudden, the entire team grew quiet as they nudged their mounts to follow Abel’s mount wolf king. That mount wolf king was basically running. It followed a small hidden stream towards the peak of the mountain.
Abel led the way upfront. That fiery bear was probably so scared of the sky sparrow; it had almost run in a completely straight line from the start. It had only started to take turns after a while.
Since none of the mounts in the team were ordinary, even the war horses of those elite warriors were the best war horses in the camp; they did not drag down Abel’s speed.
After half a day, just before those war horses began to get tired, a howling sound up front had stopped their steps. Afterwards, they put up their fighting formation.
Those war horses were trained by humans. Therefore they would not get scared even if they heard the howl of a powerful spiritual beast. They were ready to fight at all times; they were the most loyal partner of a knight.
“Found it!” K3305 had looked through a lot of information about the fiery bear before this adventure, so he had memorized its call by heart. Abel had succeeded.
Head Commander Bodley stuck his hand up and estimated the direction of the wind and then said, “we are in a good position, the wind is blowing along with us. We can get a little closer, what I heard just then doesn’t sound right!”
“It’s the call of 2 spiritual beasts!” Abel nodded. Although those two howls sounded extremely similar, Abel could tell they were from 2 different spiritual beasts.
K3305 felt his heart drop. This spiritual beast hunting mission of his was way too rough. They had already gone through 2 battles, just to discover that the spiritual beast had escaped. Now he luckily found the spiritual beast again, but there were two of them together.
“Approach carefully!” head commander Bodley said gently, as he padded his war horse on the neck, telling it to not make a sound.
The others had also done the same and calmed down their war horses. Mount wolves and horseback deers were both elite mounts; they would not make sounds for no reason.
Finally, Abel and the team had arrived at a water hole. There were 2 fiery bears. It seemed like they were having a fun time playing the water.
Abel finally understood why this fiery bear did not return to his old domain. It had found its mate. Although there were quite a lot of fiery bears in Mount Budapest, Mount Budapest was way too big. It was not easy for two fiery bears to run into each other.
“K3305, what should we do now?” Head Commander Bodley knew fully well that his team was powerful enough to take down a beginner rank spiritual beast, or even one that was just below an intermediate spiritual beast like a fiery bear.
However, taking down 2 fiery bears at once was basically impossible. Fiery bears were known for their powerful attacks, and their speed was not bad too. There was only one way to kill them, and that was facing them head on. Things like arrows could not even make a mark in their skin and fur.
“3516, do you have any ideas?” K3305 knew how powerful those fiery bears were, but he didn’t want to give up after they had gone through so much. If he missed this chance, his entire wizard journey in the future would be affected.
Therefore, he had placed all his hope on Abel. The miraculous and powerful ability Abel had presented, or even that scary crossbow, were the only hope that this team could win against 2 fiery bears.
Abel could totally sympathise with k3305. If a Wizard didn’t use a fresh crystal core after their wizard pattern had been fulfilled as soon as possible, their opportunity to level up through this method would be lost.
Although using a same rank crystal core after some time might help a little, it’s effect would be far less effective using one as soon as a Wizard’s wizard pattern was fulfilled. Therefore, this was the only opportunity for k3305 to maximize his success rate to progress to the next rank.
If k3305 missed this chance, a long and dreadful bottleneck would be waiting for him. By that point, he could only level through luck. This would have a big emotional impact on any ambitious wizard.
Abel was considering if he should show even more of his ability. To be honest, after Abel’s soul had merged with a dragon core, he could just demolish these beginner spiritual beasts with almost zero effort.
“K3305; how many crystal cores do you need?” Abel asked after some thinking,
Although k3305 was wearing a mask, his sense overwhelm still managed to sift through his gaze. He didn’t know how to reply to Abel all of a sudden.
The confidence in Abel’s voice also made head Commander Bodley and Markham exchange gaze. Those beginner spiritual beast fiery bears’ power was just below an intermediate spiritual beast and there were 2 of them together. Their fighting power was not as simple as one plus one.
However, at that moment they could sense that Abel didn’t even show a single concern towards those 2 fiery bears. It was like taking their crystal cores out was like a walk in a park.
Abel was a beginner wizard. No matter how powerful your magic staff or magic gears were, a beginner could not be a match against 2 fiery bears.
The only thing special about Abel was his physical attacks, which even made Head Commander Bodley afraid, but without combat qi, all techniques would be useless.
The only reason why a knight was powerful in this world was their use of combat qi. Although there were many structured knight techniques that could help them unleash their full potential, combat qi would still be their core life saver against a powerful opponent.
This was why no one had really spent too much time developing extremely precise and speedy attack methods. No matter how perfect you execute a move, everything would be blown away against powerful combat qi.
The 2 Head Commanders doubted what Abel was going to do, but at the same time, they were excited to see some powerful ability. Both of them had already reached the pinnacle of knights. Technically there should be no more progress they could make, but what Abel was about to do might give them some inspiration.
“Of course 2 crystal cores!”k3308 said gently without thinking. He heard his family wizard once said, 2 crystal cores of the same rank would be even more beneficial to Wizard during level up.
He did not doubt Abel’s ability to kill those 2 fiery bears at the slightest bit. He was surprised too many times by looking at Abel throughout this journey; by this point, he would just believe anything Abel said.
“Please help me keep my fighting process a secret!” Abel warned against.
“Of course, Mr. Wizard k3516. You can count on me. I will promise with my honor as a knight!” said Head Commander Bodley seriously with his fist in front of his chest and did a knight bow.
“K3516, I will promise with the honor of my family!” Said k3308 with a serious face as well, but excitement still managed to come through. He knew they were in for a big battle soon.
“K3516, I will keep your secret to my grave, I promise!” K3305 was the most direct; he drew a 6 star magic circle with his hand.
The 6 star magic circle gave out a white flash and vanished. This was a Wizard promise, an extremely Powerful contract. If a wizard broke his promise, he would be punished harshly. Normally a Wizard would rarely make a Wizards promise, which just showed how much this meant to k3305.
At the same time, the 2 elite warriors also promised Abel not to tell anyone his secret.
