Abe the Wizard

Chapter 985 - Danger

Chapter 985: Danger

Abel was in a really awkward position. Wizard Davy merely stopped for a moment, and those soul beams kept rushing into him crazily. Although it was a thrill, he really couldn’t move his dragon body.

The sword made up of holy energy shot up by the knights was about to make contact with him. It was no ordinary attack considering the knights’ lack of long-range attack.

The Holy bolt was an exception, but its power could barely do a scratch on a dragon.

Therefore, the 6 mad knights gathered their holy energy and used the most sure-fire method: expending their sword through the Holy Energy to slay the dragon.

Abel wanted Frankenstein to help him take the hit, but at that moment, he couldn’t even connect to his soul chain.

He could not move, so he could only take the hit head-on.

However, the unexpected happened. As this sword of Holy energy made contact with Abel, it rushed into Abel’s forehead as though it was returning home.

The energy of a mad knight originated from the demons from beyond. Their holy aura and battle skills were a great force of attack with the assistance of holy energy.

For a wizard, even a law-defying wizard, this strike would be unbearable, but the crystal angel statue in Abel’s forehead had the same origin as the knight’s loyalty. Therefore, those holy energies were happily returned home as they made contact with Abel.

Abel immediately sensed powerful holy energy rushing into the crystal angel statue. Its rank was extremely high, much more than the energy he got from preaching.

The energy in the crystal angel statue slowly turned dim gold. According to his experience, the statue had leveled up.

Mad knight Dan felt his blood burn. He didn’t know why the dragon wasn’t avoiding their attack, but he would not miss this opportunity. Immediately, he unleashed another holy energy for the attack.

Frankenstein was a little hesitant. His master was being attacked, and he should be helping him, but he sensed that Abel wasn’t getting hurt through their soul chain. Instead, Abel was enjoying the process.

Doff also sensed it as it was on its way to help, so it quickly stopped as well.

Abel didn’t know how to explain his condition. On the one hand, soul beams from elite holy knights kept rushing into his dragon body, and the souls of intermediate holy knights turned into invincible shadows and flew towards the crystal angel statue.

After mad knight Dan attacked, he realized something was wrong.

Their attacks not only did not leave a single mark on the dragon’s scale; it barely even moved.

This defense was different from everything they knew. If a dragon was really this strong, there must be a huge problem with the legends. Or, maybe these dragons were the problem.

Of course, this dragon was the problem.

It had now taken 23 seconds for the 5 law-defying wizards to kill off those 2000 defenseless holy knights.

Law-defying wizards were already much more powerful than intermediate and elite holy knights. Since those knights could not even get into their formation, they could only get beat up helplessly.

After rounds of lightning strikes, there was no longer any life on the hill, and Abel’s dragon body was like a god taking in the countless souls.

“Protect Master Bennett!” Wizard Davy didn’t know what was happening, and he yelled.

Their 5-star magic circle approached the mad knights and unleashed the chain of lightning again.

Although the knights were at an advantage with 6 of them, they would be surrounded as soon as Abel’s dragon body regained consciousness.

“Retreat, we need to report this to the temple!” mad knight Dan also knew his condition, so he abruptly made a quick decision and yelled.

The 6 mad knights quickly ignited their charge again back to the Evil Kingdom, but Wizard Davy would not miss this opportunity, this perfect opportunity to kill mad knights.

So far, all the mad knights were killed by Abel. Although they were in a team, Abel would still take all the glory.

However, as Wizard Davy began to flash, the giant dragon in the sky began to move again.

Absorbing the soul of a knight would not take long even for a mad knight, let alone those intermediate and elite ones.

Abel felt his heart lifted when he regained his motion. With so many soul beams rushing into the crystal angel statue, even his soul was working very hard.

After all, he had taken in the soul of 2000 holy knights.

Luckily he had 2 souls. His druid soul could take the burden from his main soul when those soul beams were rushing in. Therefore, even though he could not control his summons through his soul, his souls were not hurt.

He scanned the crystal angel statue. 2000 souls were kneeling on the ground and mumbling prayers. Slowly, the energy within the crystal angel statue began to increase.

Its original dim gold energy turned dark gold.

As Abel was examining these changes, he suddenly felt his heart drop. His head commander intuition sent him an immensely threatening signal.

“Wizard Davy, I sense danger. Get out of here now!” Abel roared through his dragon mouth.

Wizard Davy was about to move in a flash, and he quickly stopped.

He knew how mysterious Abel was, so he could not doubt the words coming from such power.

“Retreat!” Wizard Davy lowered his voice.

The souls of the wizards were united under the 5-star magic circle, which was why they could move in a flash and cast spells in unison. As the center of the circle, Wizard Davy’s command held the most authority.

Although the 4 other law-defying wizards were sad to see such a great opportunity slip by, they still changed their direction and began flashing towards the Howling Castle.

Meanwhile, the body of a man appeared from the sky like a strike of lightning.

Wizard Davy turned, and his face was filled with horror. He could sense a slight pressure even from afar.

He couldn’t understand how a legendary knight could appear without attracting legendary wizards. According to legends, as soon as a legendary profession appeared on the front-line battle field, their opposition would immediately send out a legendary profession as well to balance the power.

Legendary professions normally wouldn’t move on other professions even if they encountered each other in the front line battlefield, but that legendary knight was clearly charging towards them. If not, he would not have let out his suppression energy.

“Master Bennett, that’s a legendary knight!” Wizard Davy yelled, and he speeded up his flash. All he wanted was to bring his law-defying wizards back safely.

Abel was flying, and he thought he would be fine with his speed as a dragon.

But hearing the words of Wizard Davy and seeing that speeding body, he realized legendary knights could fly as well.

He had only been on the front line battlefield for a moment, and the information he got was only at a surface level.

Although the Lightning Wizards had briefly explained to him, there were still many things being left out. After all, no one was expecting to see a legendary profession on the front lines.

They had only shown themselves a few times in the past 100 years.

“Frankenstein, Doff, get me out of here!” Abel commanded through the soul chain.

Since they were connected through the soul chain, Frankenstein and Doff began to take turns and teleported Abel away with their own flashing ability.

Abel felt his soul being fixed by that legendary knight as he was teleporting. He could not return to his human form, if he did, he would be suppressed, and then he would be hopeless.

The only reason he was not affected by this legendary knight’s suppression even after being focused on was because of his 1000 years old blue dragon body.

Since Doff and Frankenstein’s soul was connected to him, they too were unaffected.

“Go that way!” Abel knew he was the target of this legendary knight, and he didn’t want to drag the 5 law-defying wizards and the 15 elite wizards from the Lightning clan into it, so he commanded his summons to change their direction.

He was not familiar with this area, but he knew he was not heading towards the Evil Kingdom. Those giant wings in the sky were too eye-catching.

As Mad knight Dan was retreating, he realized the wizards stopped attacking and began to retreat as well. He turned towards the sky and saw a body flying from the Evil Kingdom.

A crazy smile emerged on his face, but he was not planning to help the legendary knight. In fact, they had no right to get involved with the mission of a legendary knight.

However, when he turned towards the castle on the peak which had become the grave of 2000 holy knights, his face sank again. Those knights were all dead because of his failed leadership.

All he could think about was the punishment he would receive once he got back. But of course, the punishment was not the most torturous. It was the fact that he had disappointed his god.

Wizard Davy saw Abel changing direction, and the legendary knight followed. He immediately understood Abel’s intention, and he felt deeply touched.

Normally people would scramble for back up in the face of danger, but Abel quickly made a decision not to drag them into danger as well, even if they were in the same team.

Knight Ando was a little irritated. The holy energy hid him, and he already spotted his target from far, but his target suddenly began running as soon as he showed a slight bit of murderous desire.

He didn’t know, but it was Abel’s crystal angel statue at play. It gave Abel energy similar to the Demons from beyond, so Knight Ando’s protection shield created by the guardian wings energy was almost useless to him.

On top of that, Abel had been developing his head commander intuition for a long time. Although his head commander ability had plateaued, his senses never stopped growing.
