Abe the Wizard

Chapter 650 - Hit to Kill

Chapter 650 Hit to Kill

Even if they were in the same rank, human wizards could still differ a lot in their overall fighting abilities. Abel was a perfect example of that statement. That being said, despite all his experience, he had never seen a veteran wizard, such as Wizard Amos.Just as he was locking onto Wizard Amos for an attack, the man was already teleporting elsewhere. There were about twenty metres of distance between them. Abel could see him disappearing, but there wasn’t enough time for his body to make the right reaction.

As soon as Wizard Amos reappeared, a fireball was shot out his hand. It seemed that the man was thinking so many moves ahead. Abel was still trying to process what he did, but he was already finished with preparing another spell.

Wizard Amos was a multitasker. When he was unleashing a spell, he would always have another one that he was putting on hold. It was the first time that Abel saw someone fight like this.

By moving very slightly with his foot, Abel managed to dodge the fireball that was flying towards him. Still, just when he thought that he got rid of it, it took a U-turn and went towards his back.

To counter this surprise attack, Abel activated his lightning “telekinesis” spell to drag his body away from the fireball. He got out of its reach, and as soon as he did, he tried to grab it with the light that was released from his telekinesis spell.

BOOM

Abel basically detonated the fireball with his telekinesis spell. The explosion was pretty big. So big, in fact, it engulfed the nearby area in flame.That being said, he was a very safe distance away from it.

The two were ready to cast their next spells. For Abel, it was telekinesis. For Wizard Amos, he was teleporting while throwing another fireball.

This time, without giving it the chance to even get close to him, Abel detonated the fireball with his own spell. Wizard Amos was very concerned to see this. He didn’t think that anyone would have the precision to do something like this. It was like trying to deflect a flying bullet by shooting arrows at it.

After recognizing Abel as a worthy opponent, Wizard Amos decided to go with his strongest fighting style. He prepared his attack spells in advance, and every time he moved somewhere with his “instantaneous movement” spell, he would throw a new fireball towards his target.

Unlike before, he wasn’t planning to stop moving, which made it even harder to find the right timing to make a counter-attack. It was a surefire way to prevent the target from doing anything back. Either Abel would die instantly from it. Or, he would be forced to escape from a lack of mana.

Obviously, Abel wasn’t very happy with this. This was the first time he had ever fought so uncomfortably. He would defend against a fireball, and just when he was about to do something, Wizard Amos would completely ruin his aim by going elsewhere. He really wished that Black Wind was with him. Riding it might not be enough to win the fight, but it would at least make the fight a little fairer.

Abel wasn’t too threatened, though. Wizard Amos was fast, but his attacks weren’t that deadly. It was even possible to block the fireballs with just his “vow of the ancient” shield. Still, he wasn’t planning on doing that. Since he wasn’t planning on letting Amos live, he would rather not do anything that would make him want to escape.

Wizard Amos had shot about six fireballs in total. They were all detonated before they got close to Abel, and it was starting to make him want to leave. He decided to throw one more at Abel before doing so, and when he did, Abel got himself into a counterattack stance.

This time, Abel detonated the fireball by casting the telekinesis with his left hand. He then threw an “ice blizzard” back. Of course, that wasn’t going to do much to Wizard Amos.

But what if there were more? After throwing that first one, Abel went on an insane streak to throw about six more of the same “ice blizzard’ spell. All of them were thrown in different directions. Some went straight towards Wizard Amos, while others flew in more tricky angles. For the tricky ones, he would re-direct them towards Wizard Amos with his power of the Will.

Abel wasn’t stopping. He didn’t stop activating the “ice blizzard” spell, and he didn’t stop throwing them at Wizard Amos. He was repeating the same moves like an absolute madman, but his head stayed calm and calculating the whole time. He was trying to figure out where Wizard Amos would teleport to. That way, he could find a way to gain the initiative.

Wizard Amos knew that he had to do something. He wanted to force Abel to leave by making a strong move, but that seemed a little too risky. Also, his pride just wouldn’t allow him to end this with a draw. Abel was getting better at finding his weaknesses, and he was not going to accept that fact.

Eventually, Wizard Amos teleported to a spot that had the least number of ice balls. He thought that it was safe to be there. Little did he know that it was exactly where Abel wanted him to be. When his feet landed on the ground there, a “claystone guard” appeared right underneath him.

The claystone guard immediately got both of Wizard Amos’s feet. It wasn’t very strong at all, however, so even Wizard Amos’s “shattered ice armor’s” automatic attack was enough to eliminate it.

Abel didn’t care that much. As far he was concerned, he just wanted the claystone guard’s slowing effect to work. He was a fast man. All he needed was to have Wizard Amos make a very slight delay.

And a slight delay he got. After activating his spell rune, Abel readied himself to unleash a charge at Wizard Amos. Amos was just getting out of the claystone guard’s trap, but Abel was already appearing in front of him.

With the white light that was coming out of the “vow of the ancients” shield, he broke through all the defensive spells that Wizard Amos was casting. It would be very easy to end this from here on.

Abel decided to go with a simple move. “Shield attack.” If it was done by a head knight’s commander, the fainting effect would last for about two seconds. Frankly, there weren’t a lot of head knight’s commanders that used it, which kind of made it better because it would be harder to watch out for it.

What happened after Wizard Amos got hit? Well, it was pretty easy to figure out at this point.
