Chapter 225 - Fresh Crystal Core
The lynx stopped for a sudden while it was attacking. This allowed Abel to seize the chance to stab into its’ body accurately with a long golden sword. This time, due to the golden combat qi, the long sword was able to stab into it smoothly.
If Abel was holding the ice magic sword at this time, the battle would have already been settled, but in Abel’s hand was the sword of Victory, a magical sword that killed the enemy to increase his mana, and did not slow down the effect of frost. After the claw lynx was stabbed, it screamed louder and became faster, faster than Abel’s eyes could catch.
At this time, Abel had considered preparing a few more weapons to put in the portal bag for various situations. Forging magic weapons was not difficult for him. The materials were readily available. Once he had the chance to get into Rogue’s encampment, he could use ground fire for forging.
The claw lynx’s speed exceeded Abel’s imagination, but at this time, he completely gave his body to the feelings, and the harsh sound of friction between the claw and the shield constantly generated. No attack could enter he’s defense although it’s using full speed attack, and its instinct recovered the lack of speed.
The wounded claw lynx bled more seriously as it was being attacked, and its speed was getting slower. After a while, when it was about to prepare for another attack, its body stopped for a while due to excessive blood loss. Abel instinctively stabbed the golden sword forward. The golden sword stabbed through its fur with a howling sound, then passed through the heart from its side.
The few dwarves who were watching the battle aside were already speechless. That was golden combat qi. With this kind of combat qi, he still learned to be a wizard? The ultimate achievement of this god-like combat qi could be compared with most wizards.
This kind of knight genius was really a waste, especially for the Burton brothers. As commanders, they knew the power of the god-like combat qi. The terrible bonus was almost a symbol of invincibility. After becoming a wizard, it could no longer increase Abel’s knight level again when the wizard’s mana eroded the body. It was very remarkable that Abel’s rank hadn’t dropped.
No one knew that Abel ‘s golden combat qi was not a general-level god-like combat qi unique techniques formed this kind of combat qi. That characteristic of body repair also made possible the coexistence of the two professions of knights and wizards.
At the end of the battle, Abel looked back at Burton’s boss and asked, “Will the claw lynx have a crystal core?”
“If there is a crystal core, it will be in the middle of the eyes on its head, but the possibility of the claw lynx to have crystal core …”
The Burton’s boss was still talking and saw that Abel had used the sword to pick up a soft, mercury-like thing between the eyes of the claw lynx, he was planning to say that the claw lynx was unlikely to have a crystal core, but what Abel just did made him stop speaking.
Abel held this soft and slippery thing in his hand, and looked at Burton’s boss in curious and asked, “Is this crystal core?”
“Yes, but aren’t you a wizard? Why do you use knight techniques all the time?” Burton’s boss asked inexplicably.
“Commander Burton, you know, low-level wizards have very little mana and hard to recover. If you can use knights’ ability to win the battle, you can leave the mana to use when needed!” Abel explained
It was Burton’s boss’ first time encountered this kind of situation of being a knight and a wizard at the same time. He didn’t know what to say for a while, but he whispered, “It’s a pity with that god-like combat qi!”
Abel didn’t care about Burton’s boss’ whisper. At this time, he put his mind on the crystal core, which was soft like mercury in his hand. When he slowly moved his power of the will closer to the crystal core, he felt energy, which was like mana rushed towards the recipe of the three-level apprentice wizard in his mind. Involuntarily, he began his first meditation practice without a magic tower and a magic circle.
Two wizards, Kipling and Aitken, looked at each other and seemed to have seen the scene when they have contact with the crystal cores for the first time. Just like Abel, they started meditation on the spot.
Black Wind saw the master entered a meditation state, immediately ran to its master to protect its master with its body, monitoring all around, and released its own impose pressure.
“Burtons, you protect Master Abel!” Bernie said to the pangolin commanders around him.
Following Bernie’s orders, the two pangolin commanders walked quickly to the place nearby Abel, put the shield up and were ready to deal with possible attacks. They were experienced; the protection doesn’t work if they are far from Abel. If they were too close to Abel, it would make Black Wind felt threatened and vigilant, and likely to attack.
Abel ‘s mana fluctuated stronger and stronger. The turbulence caused by meditation surprised two junior-level wizards. This meditation effect was almost the same as a fifth-level wizard, but Abel’s level was only three.
Gradually, the soft, slippery crystal core in Abel’s hand became smaller and smaller and eventually disappeared, at the time his meditation stopped.
Opening his eyes, Abel felt the effect of meditation, which was almost equivalent to Abel’s meditation effect for one month. It was not surprising that the essence of a spirit beast’s life could have this effect. Unfortunately, the crystal cores could not be preserved. Otherwise, wizards could hunt a large number of crystal cores and use one for meditation practice every day. Then it would be easy to become a fourth-level wizard.
Abel suddenly thought of one thing. His personal storage box could keep the items like Horadric cube that was about to explode statically, so maybe it was not a problem to storage the crystal cores, then it wouldn’t have the problem of solidifying in two hours. With this, he could save a large number of fresh crystal cores that could provide meditation practice.
Abel, whose heart was beating now, had a strong desire to own the crystal cores and had greater enthusiasm for the next hunt.
After Abel completed his first hunt, the dwarves acknowledged his ability. At least his ability would not hinder them. Then, they began to go deeper into the jungle.
A day passed, and Abel had initially adapted the life in the jungle. His perception prevented him from at least five deadly attacks. There were venomous snakes from the grass, poisonous insects from branches, and even an inconspicuous tree branch could be a killer.
Under the protection of six pangolin commanders, the two dwarven wizards and Bernie basically swept the entire area. The reason for the swipe was also very simple. It had been investigated that they were in the domain of the Ice Fire Apes, and there was no other official soul beast except for Ice Fire Apes.
The equipment of the Burton brothers’ pangolin commanders was also very luxurious. It turned out to be a full set of magic equipment, magic armor, magic shields, and magic weapons. This was also the team with the strongest equipment seen by Abel.
The only thing that could really threaten this team was only the official soul beast with spell ability. This team had killed all the spirit beasts within a day, and only two crystal cores been generated from nearly 15 spirit beasts, according to Burton’s boss’ words, this was already really lucky. Usually, one crystal core would be generated every twenty spirit beasts.
Even though they knew that Abel had used the opportunity of meditation practice today, the two dwarven wizards, Wizard Kipling and Wizard Aitken didn’t make a request of having the fresh crystal core in Abel’s hand. At this time, dwarves’ stubbornness and integrity had fully shown.
Of course, Abel would not waste these two crystal cores. Both of them were carefully put into his personal storage box. After two hours, he was still worried, then checked again with the power of the will and found that the time-rest function of the personal storage was also effective for crystal cores.
For the next three days, this team went out every day to find spirit beasts in various directions for a siege. The cooperation between one another had gotten better and better. Of course, this excluded Abel because Abel was only an eighteen-level elite knight and a third-level wizard. He couldn’t keep up with the speed of these commanders. The only thing he could do was gain experiences behind the team.
The Burton brothers’ pangolin commanders cooperated very well at first. Now they mainly cooperated with the two dwarven wizards, Wizard Kipling and Wizard Aitken. In three days, they formed a set of attacks and defense.
It took them three days, not only to hunt the crystal cores for Abel, but the dwarves also wanted to improve the success rate of the team to kill the Ice Fire Apes.
