Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1190: Level Up

Abel kept pushing deeper in his formation. He loved battling in big open areas. It allowed him and his team to keep their safe distance.

As time went on, he finally saw the passage in front of him and the dilemma within it.

There were not many hell creatures around, mostly just Oblivion knights and Doom knights, so he didn’t need to keep a tight formation.

Abel and Frankenstein flashed into a passage with the grey bear in front of them.

The reason he didn’t bring Wizard Tony was that he was still new to the team.

With a grey bear in front, all the attacks from the knights were counteracted.

As for their curses, they couldn’t do anything to law-defying wizards.

Of course, Abel was confident to enter because there were no Dark Gold bosses around.

The battle ended quickly, and not a single knight was left.

They ignored the summoning pattern and flashed towards another passage.

There were not many hell creatures in that passage as well. Most of them had already been attracted outside and killed.

With chains of lightning coming out of Abel’s hands, those hell creatures could do anything but twitch.

There was no chance for them to even move, let alone attack.

Finally, Frankenstein joined in with a blizzard, and all the hell creatures were covered in frost and electric arcs. In a minute, the battle was over.

All the hell creatures were dead.

However, Abel did not care about the result. Instead, he ignited the summoning circle in this passage and returned to the other one and ignited it as well.

Suddenly a beam of light emerged from the cracks of those passages, and a group of storm casters emerged with a dark gold storm caster as the leader.

Storm casters were not powerful, so Abel directly gave out a command.

White light flashed on knight Wale, and he charged towards the dark gold Storm caster like a beam.

A giant force locked the dark gold Storm caster back, and Knight Wale followed with a shield strike.

Knight Bruce unleashed a flaming aura and charged towards that dark gold Storm caster as well.

By the time that Storm Caster regained its consciousness again, it was met with another shield strike.

For a long-range hell creature vulnerable to physical attacks, it is helpless against 2 powerful holy knights, even as a dark gold boss.

Vertigo followed the attacks. The holy knights took turns, and the dark gold Storm Caster had no chance of escaping.

As for the normal Storm casters without their leader, they were surrounded easily by Abel, Frankenstein, Wizard Tony, and the 12 spirit guardian knights.

Since 12 spirit guardian wizards could only do lightning attacks, they did not make a move.

Abel kept his eyes out on his teammates. He would give them a full recovery potion each time their health began to drop. His task in the Chaos Sanctuary of the day was about to finish.

He was about to reach a state of fulfillment, so he was not planning to face Diablo just yet.

The state of fulfillment could bring him an extra bit of power when facing a powerful boss such as the Diablo, even if it was not that noticeable on the surface. On top of that, the song of life that came afterward might even help him on his future level-ups.

The normal Storm casters kept dropping dead, and Abel’s team began to gather force on the dark gold Storm caster.

Soon, the battle ended.

Abel did not use his Angel body as it might kill that dark gold Storm caster by mistake.

If it did, that soul of a dark gold storm caster would do to waste.

After all, his angel body could unleash tens of powerful strikes in a single breath.

Abel turned to the dead body of that dark gold Storm caster and saw some golden sparkles.

He used telekinesis, and a bracelet appeared on his hand.

Highlord’s wrath

Lightning Resist +35%

Adds 1-30 Lightning Damage

20% Increased Attack Speed

+1 to All Skills

9% Chance of Deadly Strike

Attacker Takes Lightning Damage of 15

It was a decent bracelet for a long-range professional. So, of course, it was perfect for his angel body.

He would only give it to his other summons once his angel body was geared up.

After all, it was his body. Its power was his power.

The only thing wasted was that +1 to all skills. His angel body did not have a single skill.

As he gazed at the Highlord’s wrath, he suddenly heard deep laughter coming from the Chaos Sanctuary.

It was not pleasant laughter—in fact, it seemed arrogant and murderous.

Abel’s face turned pale. He knew the Diablo would emerge from the pentagon once all the summoning circles were ignited.

But he was not planning to fight, so he took out a scroll of the town portal and returned to the Pandemonium Fort.

It was a smooth day of battle, and it was the only afternoon.

He used this time to make some potions and gears.

He could easily make a golden level gear with his forgery skills, if not a rune word gear. Not a single blacksmith in the Central Continent could even come close.

Golden level gears were already the best the Holy Continent could do. Dark gold ones were only documented in legends.

Meanwhile, his angel body kept training.

Soon, the sun had set, and it was meditation time.

Abel walked into his mana gathering circle and took out 2 top-level light gems. The reason he had an extra one was that he wanted to reach a state of fulfillment.

He took a seat on his cushion and entered a state of deep meditation after hundreds of years.

He was numb to the external world. All he sensed was pure white energy rushing in his body from the gems.

In an hour, he reached the pinnacle of a rank 22 wizard. Finally, he reached a state of fulfillment.

All he needed was an opportunity, and he would level up. It was normally the time where a wizard would go into retreat or try different things, such as picking a fight.

This process could take tens of years or maybe hundreds of years. Sometimes a wizard could even die in this bottleneck before they even level up.

His angel body stopped its saw this. It knew his human body was about to end its meditation.

Suddenly, it sensed level-up energy coming from his human body. It seemed like the daunting bottleneck all professionals experienced did not occur on his human body.

The angel’s body was caught off guard, so it quickly returned to its human form by instinct.

Abel could not multitask during a level-up. At least, he couldn’t take the risk.

It was an expected level up, but he was a god in the Rogue Encampment.

Going from a rank 22 wizard to a rank 23 should be a breeze.

The 3 rank 22 wizard pattern within Abel’s main soul turned into 3 extremely strange energies and gathered around his power of the will.

3 rune pens were formed in his power of the will, and his main soul needed to draw out 3 rank 23 patterns.

When the process was complete, the energy of a rank 23 wizard emerged from Abel.

A wizard could not control their energy when they first leveled up. It was their signature.

ABel opened his eyes with a strange look on his face.

How come he didn’t go through any bottleneck? How come he leveled up immediately after fulfillment.

He turned to his druid soul. His druid and priest profession could only unleash when his Angel body was not around. If the angel body was inside him, his other professions would be overshadowed by its light.

Suddenly, the marking of his druid and priest professions also began to change. He knew they were leveling up as well, so all he needed was to give them the energy needed for a rank 23 professional.

Since that death qi and natural force could transform into each other, Abel just needed to replenish one of them.

But still, Abel shook his head. He did not have time to train as a druid or a priest, and he did not have the energy required.

He got those 2 professions by surprise, so he was not planning to go too deep into them.

Being a druid or priest only allowed him to access more attacking methods.

There was no way he could get enough death qi or natural force in a short amount of time.

What bugged him the most was his bottleneck period. Where did it go? Was he going to have a bottleneck during his future level-ups?

This was very important to him. After all, he had been stuck at a bottleneck for months when he was an elite wizard.
