Abe the Wizard

Chapter 865: Flaming Stone Giant

Abel was not aware, but he didn’t care. He could tell that the red stone monster was a top-level spiritual beast.

He had only seen those things in the ocean, but this one was on land. He could move in a flash. Looking at the speed of that thing, Abel could easily escape even if he couldn’t win.

This was the biggest difference between a wizard and other occupations. Although priests had many cunning moves and summons, they could not move in a flash. That was why they were always suppressed during a one to one fight.

A wizard and strike and leave without limit. Even if a priest was using their stone monster and iron monster as mounts, they would be no match to a wizard’s move in a flash.

This was the case with every occupation. Therefore the most powerful organization in the Central Continent was still the Wizard Union. Even some less well-known wizard schools could go head to head with other occupations.

The red stone monster wrapped itself in fire and charged towards Abel in a roar. Abel immediately felt his surroundings heat up.

“Hurricane!” Half-elf Leon yelled. He had not fought with Abel to be in sync with him, so he warned Abel before he made a move.

Abel flashed again, but before he vanished, he threw out a strike of lightning.

That strike of lightning struck upon the red stone monster before the hurricane. This spell was normally effective on most beings, but it almost did nothing to the red stone monster as they collided. It was almost like the thing was lightning resistant.

Soon a hurricane the size of its body arrived behind it. In another vicious collision, the flame on the red stone monster began to flicker.

Half-elf Leon saw 2 different ways to defuse a hurricane in just 2 days. One was whatever Abel did yesterday, and second, was the most direct brutal force unleashed by the continuous strikes of this red stone monster.

However, the red stone monster did not do so without any sacrifice. Red rocks flew out from its body like a layer was taken off.

The red stone monster did not feel pain, but it roared again and shifted its target toward half-elf Leon.

“Leon. There’s no need to fight. Just get out of here as soon as possible!” The priest yelled as he cast a bone wall in front of half-elf Leon.

They fought with the red stone monster before, and they knew all attacks were useless, so it was best to leave as soon as possible.

Abel reappeared next to Barbarian ruin. As Barbarian Ruin added a roar and battle mode for him, he asked, “Ruin, where did you get the name red stone monster?”

“I made it up. This is a monster made out of red stone, so that name makes the most sense!” Barbarian Ruin laughed.

Barbarian Ruin was always a ‘fight until the death’ person, but he didn’t in the face of that red stone monster. It seemed like he learned his lesson from his last battle with it.

The red stone monster was wrapped in flame, which was a nightmare to someone specialized in close combat, such as Barbarians.

Abel rolled his eyes. That thing was not a red stone monster or whatever. It was clearly a stone giant—a top rank stone giant with fire attributes.

Johnson was also a stone giant, but Abel had swapped its body out with condensed iron. Although it was still not a top rank spiritual beast, it was still quite invincible.

“Let’s get out of here, quick! Leon summons the mad wolves. I’ll slow the red stone monster down!” The priest yelled.

A spell pattern flashed in his hand, and a cursed cloud appeared above the red stone giant, and the cursed rain poured down. Abel could tell the level of the curse just by looking at how to cast it was.

Just as expected, a white cursed glow emerged above the red stone giant, and it immediately slowed down.

“Quick! I can only hold it down for a few seconds!” He yelled as he jumped on a mad wolf summoned by half-elf Leon. Meanwhile, his skeletons charged towards the red stone giant.

“Wizard Abel, let’s go!” Barbarian Ruin also yelled as he jumped on the mad wolf.

“You guys go first. I’ll make some more time for you!” Abel replied.

Barbarian felt a little touched in his heart. He was saved by Abel not long ago, and now Abel had offered to stay. This was the best type of teammate.

“I can’t let you stay by yourself. You can’t defeat that thing by yourself!” Barbarian Ruin jumped down from his mad wolf and yelled again.

“Ruin, listen to Wizard Abel. Let’s get out of here!” The priest yelled as well. He then turned to Abel and said, “Wizard Abel, you be careful, that thing has mass attack techniques!”

“Ruin, the faster we move, the more it will help Wizard Abel. Wizard Abel can move in a flash. He will be fine as long as he was careful!” Half-elf Leon added.

“Wizard Abel, good luck!” Barbarian Ruin lowered his voice. He then jumped back on his mad wolf and dashed away.

“Good luck!” Half-elf Leon nodded and also left.

The priest also nodded, but before he left, his gaze brushed upon Abel’s portal bag.

The red stone giant broke out of the “aging” curse and began his roaring attacks. The skeletons were blasted out, 3 of them were immediately turned into ash, and the remaining ones sped back to the priest.

The red stone giant did not chase after the skeletons. It didn’t even show any interest to the 3 that were leaving. Instead, it had its gaze fixed on Abel again.

Abel did not wait for the red stone giant to strike. He ignited a blizzard storm pattern, and a grey cloud emerged above the red rock giant.

Large amounts of snowflakes landed on the giant. It was an elite spell, and the flames on the giant decreased, but it didn’t slow it down.

It charged through the blizzard and charged towards its flames in its hand. Although it wasn’t a spell, it was its nature. It was hotter than any flames on it, and it was almost glowing in white.

Abel had his defense prepared. He ignited the move in a flash on his right and vanished from the spot.

He unleashed his power of will and monitored where the priest and his team were going. Since Abel had kept the stone giant company, they had left his sight, and his power of the will range.

Abel turned his gaze back on the stone giant again. Johnson had always been a lonely boy. Abel roamed across the entire Holy Continent and never spotted another stone giant.

He knew the creation of stone giants was very difficult from the elves. On top of that, they needed thousands of years to develop, so that’s why they were so rare.

Stone giants had only been spotted in the Holy Continent 2 times in the thousands of years of history in the Holy Continent. However, every intellectual life would want to kill them due to how valuable the minerals and compounds in their bodies were. Of course, that did not include Johnson.

Stone giants could live for a long time, and Abel was lucky enough to encounter another one.

Abel found Johnson in a mana gem mine, so he could understand how a red stone giant could be created in a mountain filled with special fire attributed iron ores.

Abel was very glad, as the fire stone giant charged towards him again, he padded his chest, and a giant black hole appeared.

The red stone giant quickly stopped its step. It sensed a familiar scent as Johnson stepped out from the black hole.

Johnson curiously looked at the red stone giant, and the red stone giant looked back. Although Johnson was not made out of stone, it did not change the fact that it was a stone giant.

The red stone giant did not attack. It had lived by itself in this red Stone Mountain since its creation. It had seen countless spiritual beasts and intellectual lives, but it never saw someone of its kind.

They began communicating without making a sound. Although the red stone giant was higher in rank, the power of its soul and potential was far behind Johnson since Johnson had taken the soul potions.

It seems like Johnson was saying something with the red stone giant, and the red stone giant began to shake its head.

Abel could understand what those two were talking through the soul chain. Johnson was asking the red stone giant to become a contracted beast of Abel and join their team.

Although the red stone giant had been lonely for countless years, it had a natural arrogance. It wouldn’t;t just give away its freedom and become a contracted beast.

Johnson began to show off everything it had gotten as rewards. It’s titan armor, lighting spear, and then it began to run around the red stone giant in flying speed.

Although it did not attack the red stone giant, the red stone giant knew there was no way it could do anything to Johnson with that speed.

“White Snow, Flying Flame, come out!” Abel saw the red stone giant was a little moved, so he called again towards the black hole.

White snow was the first one to speed out. Since it was almost a top rank spiritual beast, the ice energy on it almost made the red stone giant felt like it had encountered its worst enemy.

Flying Flame then followed. He carefully controlled its dragon energy but let a bit of it sift through. It had immediately sent a shock and fear to the red stone giant. It was the natural suppression of the dragon scent.

The reason why the red stone giant could survive for so long was not its fighting ability but its stealth. It would only come out in the face of a weaker opponent.

If there was something more powerful, it would remain as scattered rocks on the mountain.

Abel sensed the red stone giant getting scared, so he unleashed his dragon energy as well in a manageable area. He didn’t want the priest and his team to notice.

The energy of a giant dragon heavily pressed on the red stone giant, and its last bit of confidence was shattered.

Spiritual beasts had the instinct to obey the powerful. However, Abel could not hurt the red stone giants with his current ability. His level of being was far superior.

The red stone giant had lost its interest in fighting ever since it saw Johnson, and Johnson let it know about the reason for its extraordinary speedy progress and showed it gears that could make anyone jealous.

The red stone giant wanted to keep its pride to the last moment, but that pride began to fade after he saw White Snow and Flying Flame.

Finally, it vanished when Abel unleashed his blue dragon energy.

If Abel had unleashed his dragon energy and did not summon Johnson from the start, this red stone giant would be scared off immediately or remained as rocks on the mountain.

The red stone giant was far more powerful than Johnson before Abel, and it understood how to detect danger.

Abel saw the red stone giant lose its resistance, so he slowly approached it. The red stone giant began to retreat the flames on its body, exposing a body full of red rocks.

The iron density of those red rocks was far greater than anything else on the mountain. This was why its body was wrapped in flames. All it needed to do was to ignite the fire attributes in the rocks.

Abel began to doubt if the red stone giant had deliberately placed lower density rocks on the surface of this mountain as a way of self-defense. A grandmaster blacksmith with such a good eye was not common at the end of the day.

Abel placed his hand on the red stone isn’t. He unleashed the ancient mount enchantment soul contract towards the red stone giant’s soul flame, and it accepted it without resistance.
