Abe the Wizard

Under the guidance of Advanced Alchemist Ernest, they arrived in front of the ingredient counter. Abel did not reject his kind offer. No elf would dare to stand in front of that elven alchemist in a line anyway.

After he picked out around 10 ingredients, Advance Alchemist Ernest could already guess which potion Abel was going to make. Abel requested 60 portions for each ingredient, but when the elven shop assistant gave out the price, something very embarrassing happened to Abel.

His magic gold card was signed up using his human form, so it would definitely expose his location and, most importantly, his identity. He didn’t have much physical gold coins on him normally, and his Horadric cube was stored in his chest pocket, not his portal bag. Therefore, it would be too suspicious if he took out tens of thousands of gold coins from it all of a sudden.

“Can I pay with mana gems?” Said Abel awkwardly

“Master Bennett, if you are short of budget, just let me pay. Your performance today has given me inspiration!” Said Advance Alchemist Ernest, fighting for a spot in front of the Elven shop assistant.

“Thank you, Advance Alchemist Ernest!” Abel was not overly polite this time. He just gave a little nod.

“Master Bennett, paying for you is my honor. Actually, your Master badge can give you some budget for ingredients every month!” Said Advance Alchemist Ernest as he was paying the bill.

After they left the Alchemist Union, Abel saw his silvery-white carriage waiting. The half-elven driver Archie began to slowly drive the carriage towards him.

Something was wrong. Suddenly, his commander senses were triggered, and he sensed something life-threatening would take place. Therefore, before he even had time to think, he reached his hand towards his portal bag, and a magic shield appeared in his hand.

Although Abel had many methods of defense, he could only use the universal combat qi defense in the Holy Continent as an elf. His golden combat qi was too unique, and it would most likely expose his identity if he used it.

There were also another 2 carriages waiting by the side, and their door suddenly swung open door swung open, exposing 2 small crossbows. Every single one of the crossbows were equipped with 3 blackbird head arrows.

With a pull on the bowstring, 6 arrows flew towards Abel with a sharp pitch cutting through the air.

By this point, Abel knew who had attacked him. A small crossbow was a popular medium-range shooter among the dwarfs. Although they were called small crossbow, they were quite powerful since it required a winch to install those arrows. It was impossible to install them with pure human strength.

Other than directly shooting enemies with this weapon on a battlefield, they were also powerful enough to secure arrows onto a city wall, allowing a ladder to form. Normally, this weapon was only used in the military. It was very hard for anyone to get their hands on one, especially those normal soldiers.

A lot had been done through Abel’s brain after he saw the small crossbow, and he had made the most direct reaction. He did not secure his shield in front of him. Instead he threw it directly at the arrows and jumped back. At the same time, he also summoned the ravens, and the spirit wolves from the monster portal bag using his druid’s lesser soul.

“Bang!” The arrows struck upon the shield. Although the magic shield had the ability to absorb physical impact, their arrows were still far too strong. In a split of a second, the magic shield shattered into pieces.

The arrows did not stop. They continued to fly towards Abel. By that point, Abel’s back had reached the wall. He had no more place to back off, so he did a weird twist with his body. The 6 arrows brushed against his body and directly stuck to the wall behind him. Luckily his important organs were untouched.

Abel had not been injured in a long time. Now, he had gained a few fresh wounds in his body, even though they were not life-threatening. His blood leaked out towards the wall alongside the arrows. At the same time, he was hit by the scattered pieces of his shield, since it had exploded by the immense force of the arrows. Although he was hurt by the small crossbow, those scattered pieces still couldn’t do a single thing to Abel’s strong body.

“Assassin!” The half-elven driver screamed as he looked around. Abel was now falling into his own blood on the ground.

As Abel was leaning against the wall, he felt 3 arrows brush against leg and waist, while the other 3 were completely avoided. At first, he didn’t feel a single bit of pain, but then numbness began to spread through his body. He could no longer stand up straight as he felt towards the ground.

The 6 spears were poisonous! But he no longer had time to treat the wounds. The 4 black cloaked face masked assassins were now working the winch in full force, preparing for a second attack.

They would never have the chance to complete their attack. Suddenly, 5 ravens appeared in mid-air, and flew towards the 4 masked assassins in full speed. They poked out the eyeball of one of the most hard-working assassins. Afterward, a gut-wrenching scream filled the air. The other 3 assassins had also stopped their task immediately to fight off the incoming ravens.

“He’s a druid!” an assassin called with a low voice.

But it was too late. When the 5 spirit wolves showed up, helplessness emerged from their faces. Their opponents were not only an alchemist, but he was also a druid. If they knew this earlier, they would definitely not prepare for this battle this lightly.

“The glory belongs to the god of the dark moon!” 4 masked yelled in unison, as they took out a statue and put it in their mouths. Their eyes lit up with passion, as though they no longer cared about their lives. Their backs began to lit up in a dark glow of fire. The ravens in mid-air seemed to be frightened by this dark glow of fire as they immediately flew towards the sky.

The 4 masked assassins ignored the ravens as they dashed out the carriage and ran towards Abel. By that point the 5 spirit wolves had appeared beside the 4 assassins, but they suddenly became a little hesitant upon seeing the dark glow of fire from their back.

Abel could sense, with his intuition, that the dark fire coming form the assassins’ back was extremely scary. It would be very dangerous to make a bit of contact with it. The ravens and spirit wolves he had summoned were all scared, allowing the 4 masked assassins to rushed towards him without any barrier.

Abel wanted to stand up straight, but he couldn’t control his body. Although his golden combat qi was already trying it’s hardest to excrete the poison, the poison seemed to be stuck to his bone.

Abel thought to himself, just a little bit more time, and he could move again. By that point, his druid soul was really to expose his wizard identity. Soon he would be able to ignite his skill tree and send some charging bolts towards the assassins.

When 4 assassins were around 10 meters from Abel, his druid soul had reached the skill tree. The charging bolts were ready to be unleashed at any moment. Suddenly, a giant wolf appeared in front of him, and an old elf was sitting on top of it.

It was Master Alfred, he pointed towards the 4 assassins and yelled, “Volcano explosion!”. All of sudden, countless lava exploded from the ground and flew straight towards the assassins.

“Bang bang bang bang!” The 4 assassins had immediately turned into an explosion of blood.
