Chapter 989: Return to Castle
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The rune word sword was almost indestructible, at least breaking a rune word weapon before its disintegration was unheard of. Frankenstein had no choice. He could only attack with the back of his rune word sword.
He wasn’t skilled in the sword. His instincts just knew to smash things with objects.
You couldn’t force a law-defying wizard to learn sword skills, especially one that only had battle instincts. Not all law-defying wizards were Abel, after all.
Frankenstein only remembered the command his master gave him to keep the enemy’s corpse intact. After he froze the mad knight with the ice pole, he viciously smashed with the back of his rune word sword.
Although Frankenstein did not have many close body fighting skills, no one could underestimate the strength of an ancient puppet. It was not something even a mad knight could withstand.
Blood gushed out from the mouth of the knight. His internals was badly injured.
Frankenstein did not stop. Doff started his crazy beating as well. At that moment, the holy knights arrived.
Without the knights noticing, he suddenly expanded his big druid energy with his transformation necklace, and a vicious suppression force emerged, bringing the knights to a pause.
If they knew Abel was a big druid beforehand, they could have gone into a defensive formation to counteract his suppression.
The defense formation of 200 elite holy knights was more than enough to counteract Abel’s big druid energy, but they were also occupied by Doff. In fact, they were helpless positions it.
With that pause, their fate was decided.
Abel unleashed his grey bear and ignited the spell ‘Destruction from heaven and earth’. Meteoroids poured down from the sky, and giant fireballs struck towards the knights.
Doff also viciously swung his rod. With each swing, a few holy knights were killed.
Of course, this rate of killing was nothing compared to Abel’s spell. After all, mass attack spells were much more efficient in this situation.
Abel did not stop. He then followed up with a hurricane and volcano spell.
At that moment, he truly got a taste of what it was like to be truly powerful. In the past, he could only look up at elite knights. Now he was killing them like they were nothing.
Just when knights were recovering from the first round of attack, the double spells Abel followed only cut their life even deeper.
Their formation collapsed, and they no longer had any chance to resist. They could not break Abel’s suppression, and they could only wait for their slaughter like helpless sheep.
The roles of the hunter and prey were switched at an instant. It was one of Abel’s fastest battles, and 200 soul beams shot up.
Frankenstein also ended the life of the mad knight. Maybe he was the one worthy of the most pity: mad knight being smashed to death by a wizard.
Abel scanned the battlefield with his power of the will and put all the light gems in his portal bag, and retrieved the 200 portal bags. He then arrived at the dead body of the mad knight.
It was preserved very well. He could see that Frankenstein was very careful with his attacks. Not even a big wound was opened up.
But of course, Abel knew there wouldn’t be a problem even if it was badly injured. The resurrection only targets the soul, and a bottle of full recovery potion would solve all injuries.
He carefully put away the human-shaped light gem and put the corpse in his personal storage box.
He looked around. There were 200 little soul beams and one thick soul beam. This would attract a lot of attention.
“Master Bennett!” When Abel was about to move with Frankenstein, he heard a voice. He quickly turned. It was Wizard Hal.
“Wizard Hal, it’s great to see you again. I got lost!” Abel smiled.
“Master Bennett, are you okay?” Wizard Hal was stunned as he said with shock. He then looked at the soul beams and said, “You are too powerful!”
Even in the front line, 200 soul beams shooting up at once was still a rare sight to see.
“Of course I’m okay. I was lucky to find an underground stream to escape!” Abel smiled and explained. He really didn’t care too much about the battle just then. It didn’t even cost Frankenstein and Doff any effort. He then asked, “Wizard Hal, why are you here?”
“Master Bennett, we discovered that 2 legendary wizards were already sent out after we returned, so Wizard Davy sent out all free law defying wizards to search for you!” Wizard Hal said excitedly.
Although he had been fighting on the front line for a long time, they were all business a rank 20 wizard could take care of. He never saw a true legendary. Today was the first time, and not only that, they were targeted as well.
He was grateful to survive. Even the main target, Master Bennett, had survived. How could he not get excited?
Wizard Davy didn’t expect much, and he had been blaming himself for causing such a big loss to the wizard union. After all, the chance of escaping from a legendary was extremely low.
Master Bennett’s importance to the Wizard Union went beyond his identity as a dragon druid. He was the important source of their potions. If anything happened t Master Bennett, those light healing potions would cease to exist.
This was why Wizard Davy sent out so many law-defying wizards to search for Abel.’
Wizard Hal was lucky to come across those soul beams, so he decided to have a look. To his surprise, it was Master Bennett’s work.
“Wizard Hal, just take me back!” Abel saw that Wizard Hal still had more to say, so he interrupted.
They were in a dangerous place. If the legendary knight found them, they could not escape again.
He could only transform to a dragon once every 24 hours, so he was in a vulnerable position.
“Yes, yes, lets head back immediately!” Wizard Hal nodded. He could already imagine the crazy look on WIzard Davy’s face. He listed a mission in the wizard union to search for Master Bennett. If they stayed any longer, the entire front line would be filled with wizards.
With Wizard Hal on the lead, Frankenstein flashed with Abel at the back. Their destination was the howling castle.
The howling castle was looking very different from the time Abel left. All the protection circles were ignited, and he could sense himself being monitored. Some of it might be coming from magic circles that amplify the spells of wizards.
Although magic towers were rare in the Central Continent, the technology of magic towers was used in castles or other structures.
But even an actual magic tower would not use luxury materials like this. Only in a place with an endless resource such as the front line would see a magic tower built like a castle.
The howling castle was one of the strongest castles, and at that moment, it was fully prepared for war.
“Master Bennett is back!” An elite wizard who recognized Abel yelled. But it was unnecessary anyway. The castle had already detached Abel long ago as Wizard Hal and Frankenstein approached.
When Abel entered the castle, he saw everyone looking at him with eyes of admiration. They all knew Abel had just escaped from a legendary knight.
Also, the news that Abel had lured the legendary knight away already began to spread in the Howling Castle.
A new big druid, as well as a master potion maker, had put his life at risk to save his teammates. It was something everyone deeply respected.
All professions in the castle had gotten light healing potion from the wizard union, more or less, directly or passively, so they knew Abel’s importance.
“Master Bennett!” Although not all professions knew Abel personally, they all greeted him with great passion.
Abel smiled back. He hadn’t expected the power of the Central Continent to be this friendly.
“Master Bennett, you are back!” When Wizard Davy saw Abel, he said in excitement.
He was helpless when Abel was being chased. He was not qualified to help even if he wanted to. If Abel couldn’t return safely, he would be tortured by regret for the rest of his life.
You could just tell how close Abel and the Lightning Clan were since the Lightning Clan had taken in Abel as soon as the wizard union invited Abel to fight in this battle.
What happened was an accident, but it had only deepened their relationship. Someone who stood up for their teammates during the most dangerous moments was respected by every team.
Wizard Davy’s words were simple, but it was filled with relief from worry, which just showed how much Abel meant to him.
His worries only subsided once he returned to the Howling Castle because he knew the Legendary knight would invade them.
“Wizard Davy, I’m sorry. Maybe I’m the reason the Legendary knight was here!” Abel apologized.
There was no need for him to hide the fact. All the Lightning Clan wizards saw what happened. There was no doubt that the Legendary knight was after Abel.
“Master Bennett, your enemy is our enemy, no matter who it was!” Wizard Davy said with confidence.
He did not give too much thought about the fact that Abel was chased after by a legendary knight anymore. The legendaries would take care of their own business. All he could do was back Abel up.
Although the Lightning Clan did not have many law-defying wizards, they were still a powerful force in the Central Continent. Lightning wizards were all sharp troops, nevertheless.
“Because of me, our mission had went down the drain!” Abel sighed.
Although the castle on the peak was destroyed, they did not successfully set up a magic circle there and claim the territory for the wizard union.
“Master Bennett, we already gotten a lot with 2 mad knights dead as well as the 2000 evil knights. Its already the most we achieved in 10 years!” Wizard Davy immediately laughed.
He really couldn’t care less about the outcome. Since a legendary knight had shown up, the legendary wizards would have a reason to show themselves.
Even though he might not get any resources from this mission, a legendary would negotiate with the evil kingdom to get a deserved comprehension once the report was submitted.
It was agreed that the legendaries could not intervene in the front line. If a side broke this agreement, they had to pay.
“Not only 2 mad knights, Master Bennett killed another one during his escape!” Wizard Hal laughed and interrupted.
All the wizards were stunned. With Doff and Frankenstein by his side, Abel basically had the power of 3 law-defying wizards. If the circumstances were right, Doff’s giant rod might even be able to take on a few more law-defying wizards
