Chapter 883: Mana Cannon Testing

“Wizard Hogg, the wizard war is still going on. Are you thinking of ending it?” Wizard Lucian laughed from the side.

From the way they were chatting, Wizard Hogg and Wizard Lucian seemed to be quite good friends.

“Yeah, yeah, Wizard Abel. You wait here, watch us teach them a lesson for you!” Wizard Hogg laughed and said.

“Wizard Hogg, do you want me to break the protection circle for you?” Abel saw the Lightning clan having a hard time breaking it, so he asked.

“Wizard Abel, that thing is not easy to break. It will remain as long as it has enough mana gems. Only law-defying wizards can do something about it!” Wizard Hogg couldn’t help but laugh again. Abel was too ignorant.

“Let me try!” Abel said confidently. He wanted the Blizzards to get a taste of his power but also test out his new toy.

“Ok, go for it. Don’t get too close to the city wall, though!” Wizard Hogg smiled and nodded, seeing Abel’s confidence.

Abel flashed back at Johnson and took out a mana cannon from his Varaya’s ring. The 3 meters long cannon was filled with magic patterns.

“Is that a mana cannon?” Wizard Hogg suddenly gasped.

Mana Cannon existed in the Central Continent, but they were extremely rare. There were only a few, and they were all discovered in ancient sights, and the top wizard organizations held them.

It was a superb attack weapon. Since it could only be used once and the destruction it could cause was unlike anything, it was mostly used for scaring people.

Those things were made for a still target. A wizard could easily dodge it by flashing away, but it was very useful for a city protection circle.

“Wizard Hogg, why don’t you talk with Abel? Maybe that’s going a bit too far!” Wizard Lucian said gently and shook his head.

“Just let him have a go. I heard he is very good with the Dwarfs in a subcontinent. Maybe he got that thing from the dwarfs of that subcontinent, but he should have the right to use his stuff. The Blizzards are his first enemy in the Central Continent. Bad luck on them then!” Wizard Hogg laughed.

If Abel were in another wizard organization, using a mana cannon like that would definitely be stopped, and it would be taken away by the organization. However, not the Lightning clan. Lightning wizards were rare, and their bonds were tight.

Abel gave the mana cannon to Johnson, and it began to hold the cannon up to its chest. Soon the Titan armor on its body vanished, and the iron ball on its body formed a shield in front of the cannon.

The mana cannon was no longer recognizable. It was almost like Johnson had an iron cannon growing out of its chest.

Simultaneously, Johnson was like a giant cannon platform aiming at the City Gate of Frost City.

“That wizard still has the heart of a child!” Wizard Hogg stood beside Wizard Lucian. He couldn’t help but smile.

“Yeah, he’s only 19 years old. That’s the age for playing around!” Wizard Lucian nodded with a smile as well.

Both of them thought Abel was trying to hide mana cannon and, at the same time, trying to play around.

However, Abel was not playing around. Instead, he was trying to stop people from seeing the change that was happening to the cannon inside Johnson.

He took out a perfect red gem and placed it in the cannon’s back socket with his power of the will. That cannon could handle more than 4 perfect gems, but Abel was only trying to test out its power, so one was enough.

“Commander spirit, find the Frost City spirit’s!” Abel reached his power of the will into his headmaster identity card and asked.

“Headmaster, now scanning....!” The voice of the commander spirit emerged from his brain through the power of the will.

After half a minute, a map of Frost City appeared in his mind, and an area was marked.

He transferred this map to Johnson through the soul chain, and Johnson began to move the cannon towards the marked area.

Abel then reached his power of the will in his personal storage box. In that time, frozen space 33 #zod rune was neatly lined up.

Since those runes were held together by the dark gold crystal core, it could only last for 5 seconds outside of the personal storage box.

Abel ignited the world stone’s ability. He couldn’t waste any time. He only had one mana cannon.

Although he could make another one, the components of that thing were too hard to find. He had only found one portion in the Holy Continent. Luckily his alchemy skills did not disappoint. If not, this mana cannon wouldn’t even come alive.

Abel focused his power of the will onto an unnoticeable dark socket and quickly transferred the 33#zod rune inside it.

A dark gold glow sifted out when the rune entered and wrapped the cannon in less than 1 second.

Afterward, the socket disappeared from the cannon, just like all Dark World rune sockets were hidden.

Abel ignited the cannon with his power of the will, and a stream of red flame began to gather. 2 seconds later, energy gushed out from the mouth of the cannon.

“Danger!” Headmaster Marz yelled on the city wall.

The 3 headmasters turned into a flash of white light and vanished from the spot. The other elite wizards soon followed.

Abel focused on the city wall. Since he had the world stone’s analyzing ability ignited, he could clearly see everything that was happening in that split moment.

He knew the limit of this mana cannon. It took 2 seconds to gather energy, which was enough for most experienced wizards to flash away.

The city spirit was the most important governor of a city. City spirits were selected from the most intelligent spirits, and after long years of nourishment and data accumulation, each city spirit would become extremely efficient at running its city.

Once a city spirit was damaged. Things would not return to normal in at least 10 years of ruthless work.

An immense wave of energy gushed out, sending each part of the cannon into instability. If it weren’t tightly wrapped in dark gold energy, it would have turned into pieces already.

After the fire elements blasted out of the cannon, the cannon’s pocket flashed a few times and re-emerged again. The 33#zod rune had turned into pieces of scattered crystals.

It was the destruction of a perfect red gem. Each of those things had the power to sustain a city for years.

However, the perfect gems Abel had were far superior in regards to both power and purity.

Just like the super exploding balls he made. Its blast was only the minimum of what his perfect gems could do.

The mana cannon could push the power of his gems to another level. It compressed the gems before the blast, which strengthened its impact at least a few times.

Just like trying to penetrate a body, it would be much easier with a thin needle than your fist.

Although the overall fire element did not increase, the energy was so concentrated the impact force was much scarier.

The people in Frost City saw a beam of red light shooting out from Johnson’s body and flew towards the city gate. They were helpless, just like a needle breaking through a thin piece of paper.

The city protection circle was like a crystal ball. It would break even when a small hole was made.

The beam of flame penetrated the protection circle and continued to make its way towards the city gate. The city gate directly tumbled down like it was melted in a sea of flame. The fire element of that beam was scary.

The beam continued towards the building. Anything that got in its way was penetrated and tumbled down, just like how fire spreads on paper.

That beam penetrated half of frost city and arrived at the central palace. The palace was met with the same fate as other structures. Afterward, a glowing object filled with magic patterns located in a room of the palace shattered.

The beam of flame continued for them more structures and finally vanished.

Everyone was stunned—the people in the city, the Blizzards, the Lightnings, and the wizards on the hill.

Most wizards heard about the power of a mana cannon, but seeing it in action was a totally different experience.

“City Spirit, what’s the loss?” Headmaster Marz yelled.

His face was overwhelmed with amusement as he saw that beam of flame penetrated half of his city. How rich does a rank 16 wizard need to be to use such power in a wizard war?

The value of a mana cannon was far greater than everything the Blizzards had lost so far, so that attack basically made no sense.

Headmaster Marz did not get a reply. It was almost like his headmaster identity card was dead.

He suddenly felt his heart drop. He realized where the beam had penetrated.

Soon, the city’s crystal-like protection circle began to crack, and pieces dropped down like vanishing sparkles.

The Lightnings stopped their attacks and flashed beside Wizard Hogg and Wizard Lucian. They gazed at the cannon on Johnson and turned back at the giant hole in Forest City.

“Wizard Hogg, stop the war. Do you really want to kill every wizard from the Blizzards?” Wizard Lucian lowered his voice.

“Wizard Lucian, do you think the Blizzards would forgive Abel if we let them go?” A murderous gaze flashed in his eyes.

“Remember, this city is Frost City. If you begin your killing here, maybe you will drive that hidden law-defying wizard of the Blizzards crazy.

As a law enforcement wizard from the wizard union, he didn’t want the wizards to fight against each other, especially on a scale like this.

The purpose of a wizard war was to minimize the damage to a tolerable scale. Even the most vicious ones would end up with just a few elite wizards dead. However, if the Lightnings began killing without the protection circles, the loss would be many times bigger.
