Chapter 198 - Earth Shaking
Abel’s will was 27, so his power of the will could reach a distance of 27 meters. Abel began to set up when he was 10 meters of the hole. He took out the super exploding ball, then use the ‘spirit transfer to take out the metal ball, and lastly, use the ‘spirit transfer’ again to block out the hole with it. Under Black Wind’s intense speed, Abel had completed all of these steps around 17 meters beyond the hole.
Black Wind was too fast, Abel didn’t even have time to rest. In almost no time, he was already 27 meters from the next hole. It was time to set up again.
As Black Wind was running, Abel counted in his heart “6..5..4..”
“Black Wind, move in a flash!” Abel shouted.
With the shout of Abel, Black Wind disappeared into the spot and appeared in front of the 3rd hole.
Abel had almost set up the super exploding ball and the metal guard at the same time. His gaze fixed at the last hole. By that point, he had counted to 3 in his heart.
It seemed like Black Wind had sensed some danger, so it increased it’s speed once again.
When Abel had counted to 1, Black Wind arrived at a spot 27 meters from the last hole in a ‘move in a flash.’
Abel felt like he was dancing with the devil. The time was almost up. The explosion could occur any time, and he still had a few hundred meters until he could reach the edge of the cliff he had originally planned.
Black Wind felt the mood of its owner through the soul chain. In a vicious long bowl, it disappeared with its shadow and simultaneously appeared on the edge of the cliff. However, it did not stop, and it executed it’s third ‘move in a flash’ and disappeared from the edge of the cliff. Afterward, he appeared in mid-air a few hundred meters out.
As Black Wind had forcefully overuse its spell, Abel felt it’s body getting soft in mid-air. Luckily, the hiding White Cloud arrived just on time. It caught Abel and Black Wind with its back and directly flew away. As it escalated in the sky, it became invisible once again.
It was at this exact moment that an earth-shaking bang came from the ground.
Even when Abel was in the sky, he was still struck dizzy by the shockwave of the explosion. If White Cloud did not have its protective shield on, Abel would definitely be knocked unconscious by this shock wave.
Abel couldn’t help but turn his head and look down. The eagle beak looking peak had been blown into a smog of dust. The second explosion closely followed. The dust expands, blowing out dirt and rocks towards all directions.
Soon, the 3rd explosion occurred, then the 4th explosion.
By this point, the low ranking wizards surrounding the magic towers had realized what had happened. They did not know where to run, so all they did was screamed in paranoia. Most of those low ranking wizards were struck by rocks flying out from a far the moment they opened their mouth to scream. Only a small amount of them was lucky enough to survive.
The first thing the wizards in the magic towers did at this moment were igniting the defense circle. The 5 magic towers began to flash in white light. The scattered rocks and dirt struck harshly upon the white shield surrounding the magic towers, sending it into an intense vibration. It was the best defense those wizards could give nevertheless. Other than the 2 lowest ranking magic tower getting a little damaged, the other few were perfectly fine. The 12 stories magic tower took the most damage. Since it’s defense circle was not ignited, it had to take up all of the impacts directly. A large area of its surface was damaged.
A low ranking wizard had just luckily escaped the explosion. As he was still paranoid about the whole thing, he stepped into the white light of the magic towers by mistake Afterward, he was burnt to complete black by the electric arcs.
By that point, the entire eagle beak looking peak began to tilt. There was no more hope for the low ranking wizards. The whole thing had happened too out of a sudden. Wizards were in absolute shock. They screamed as they flashed out from the magic tower. The entire world seemed to be tipping over. The eagle’s beak looking peak began to tilt faster and faster. Soon, it was tumbling down.
The 5 magic towers shining in white light were falling in mid-air. Just like a toy, they were relentlessly struck by scattered pieces. In the end, the magic tower’s shield of white light had faded. The magic towers had fallen apart.
Wizard Bernal had witnessed the whole thing take place very clearly. He had fought his entire life that 11 stories magic tower within those magic towers. All of his heart and possessions were stored there.
But nothing mattered at this point as Wizard Bernal frantically trying to find a spot to land his feet in mid-air. He kept unleashing the ‘move in a flash’, hoping it could save his life. By this point, it had almost exceeded the limit he normally used the spell.
He left the tumbling down eagle beak looking peak, constantly changing the things he was stepping on.
But every human would feel helpless against the powerful force of nature. As the eagle beak looking beak started to flip over, everything on top of it could no longer be stood on. Instead, they had become striking weapons.
A large amount of dust and rocks were flying out. Wizard Bernal could no longer see anything in front of him. As he had just unleashed his power of the will, a sharp metal pole was flying straight at him. His body completely penetrated.
He looked back, the tip of the metal pole poking out of back seemed oddly familiar. He recognized it was the metal pole of his own magic tower. Back in the days, when he was still young and ambitious, he had put this metal pole on top of his magic tower with his own hands.
Normally, these physical impacts couldn’t do anything to Wizard Bernal. However, at the time, the defense on his body was struck by so many rocks from all directions; it had faded away. On top of that, his sight was completely blocked out by the dust.
as a
From the sky, Abel saw this intermediate wizard trying his best to escape through the ‘move in a flash’, but this wizard still failed at the end.
As Wizard Bernal fell from mid-air, a giant bird and a young wizard seemed to appear in front of his eyes. That young wizard looked directly at him. At this point, he knew the reason for this attack, and who the attacker
was.
“White Cloud, get invisible. We’ll go back!” Abel sighed.
White Cloud disappeared from the sky. Abel had just shown his respect for the intermediate wizard. He let him know who his killer was before he died.
Back in the Wizard Union headquarter in Duchy of Keyen, Wizard Johnson was just taking care of some business as he sat in his office. Suddenly, he heard a few explosions in a roll. He frowned his eyebrows, “Which wizards are fighting again?”
“Mr., Mr. Sors wants you to come out!” A few minutes after the explosion had stopped, a wizard follower came in and reported.
Wizard Sors was another intermediate wizard in here. He was the head of the Wizard Union’s branch headquarter in the Duchy of Keyen.
Wizard Johnson disappeared on the spot. After a few flashes of light, he reappeared in the office off Wizard Sors.
“Johnson, you came just in time. I just realized that I could no longer connect with any of the magic towers in the Duchy of Keyen, and I can not detect any of their teleportation circle ether,” Said Wizard Sors in a dreadful tone.
“Does it have to do with the explosions just then?” Wizard Johnson asked suspiciously. Although the Duchy of Keyen had lost an intermediate wizard, their power was still above average compared to the surrounding duchies. Who would have the guts to attack their magic towers?
All wizards would rather do anything than attacking a magic tower. As long as the magic tower had resources, it would be very hard to destroy. The attacking power of a magic tower was normally rank higher than its owner, and the defense depended on how many magic circles were set. If you did not have the ability of an intermediate wizard, don’t even think about attacking a beginner wizard’s magic tower. You would definitely fail.
If you want to break the defense of an intermediate magic tower, you would at least need to have the ability of an elite wizard. Elite wizards would rarely appear in these low ranking Duchies. The reason was simply that not many wizards would open their teleportation circle for elite wizards. Normally an elite wizard would only travel using those teleportation circle in the Wizard Union, or the ones that their friends had.
“Johnson, I want you to come with me to have a look.” Said Wizard Sors in a serious tone.
By this point, Wizard Johnson realized why Wizard Sors had invited him to come along. If a wizard could destroy an intermediate magic tower, it would be too dangerous for an intermediate wizard to go take a look alone.
“Ok, let’s go take a look!”
Both Wizard Sors or Wizard Johnson would never have guessed it was a rank 3 novice wizard who had attacked the magic towers in the Duchy of Keyen. Not only that, but he had done so successfully.
