Chapter 177: Defence With a Life

Once again, they stood in the middle of the huge teleportation circle. Wizard Morton said with a smile, “From now on, you are officially a member of the Wizard Union. You can no longer get involved with the customs of the world, so just let the others take care of the business in your family.”

“Yes, teacher.” Abel rarely questioned about his family’s business anyway. Both the Harry family in Harvest City and the Abel castle were occupied by his uncle Marshall. As for all of the assets under his coat of arms in Bakong City, his trusted steward Ken took care of it. It had been a long time since he had cared about his family business. He would only take a look at the income and spending records every month.

“Please teleport us to the Morton magic tower!” Said Wizard Morton to the flashing white light in front of him. The white light was a sign confirming the teleportation array was ready for teleportation.

In the Wizard Union branch headquarter in the Duchy of Keyen, there were many wizards wearing white robes controlling and accepting the request from the teleportation circle. Since this huge magic circle could teleport multiple people at a time, it was always operated manually.

When a wizard in the white robe had heard the words “Morton magic tower, his eyes began to sparkle. He immediately took the right to control the teleportation circle and changed the destination. Then, he ignited the teleportation circle.

It was the first time this white robe novice wizard had done this. Afterward, he was so nervous that his face had gone badly pale.

“Bling!” an intermediate Wizard appeared in the middle of the teleportation circle operation room. His gaze brushed upon the few white robe beginner wizards and said: “Stop what you are doing!”

The few white robe beginner wizards stopped what they were doing. After seeing an intermediate wizard, they had to step up and bow.

“Someone just took the right to control without permission. Whoever did it, come out immediately. Don’t make me search for you, or else even your family will be drag into this,” said the intermediate wizard in a calm voice, with waves of impose pressure coming out of him.

The few beginner wizards in white robe exchanged gazes. Afterward, they all looked back towards the badly frightened, pale-faced beginner wizard.

The intermediate wizard doubled down on his impose pressure, directly locked down the beginner Wizard. He grabbed his robe, and in a flash of white light, they had disappeared from the spot, leaving only some words behind, “All of you get back to work!”

As soon as the teleportation circle began to glow, Abel immediately sensed an immense danger. It was vicious, and it was much greater than anything he had felt before. However, it was too late to leave the teleportation circle.

The ‘Frozen armor’ immediately appeared on Abel’s body, as his golden combat qi began to unleash. At the same time, 5 defense rune signs had also appeared in Abel’s left hand, as well as the magic shield on the right. He put the shield in front of him.

Wizard Morton saw Abel’s reaction, so he immediately put on his ‘frozen armor’ as well. This was the most powerful defense spell he had mastered.

The white light of the teleportation circle had stopped, and both Wizard Morton and Abel had vanished from the teleportation circle. In a valley a few hundred miles out, a simple and worn out teleportation circle began to flash in white light. The shadows of 2 men emerged from the teleportation circle.

This was the first time Abel had remained totally conscious throughout the entire teleportation journey. Most of it was thanks to his powerful golden combat qi protecting him.

As soon as Abel step foot on the ground, his elite Knight spirit immediately sensed a great threat in front of him. The white light still had not totally faded yet, so it had the ability to protect the person being teleported. Only after those white light had totally faded, could the person being teleported could be attacked by external forces.

The moment before the white light faded, Abel gazed back at Wizard Morton. This long-distance teleportation still had some effect on Wizard Morton. Although he was used to teleportation, his body was still weak. He could help with vertigo brought in by teleportation.

“Secure defense!” Abel roared as he plunged his shield towards the ground facing the direction of the threat. His golden combat qi was rushing around, entirely surrounding Wizard Morton and himself.

“Bang!” That simple and worn out teleportation circle had shattered, and the white light protecting the two had completely vanished.

Immediately, 3 huge fireballs ignited upon Abel’s shield. His golden combat qi could not even stand half a second against this force until it was completed scattered. In a flash, the shield in which Abel had used to counteracted countless attacks had also be struck into pieces.

Abel did not move at all. His teacher Wizard Morton was right behind him. If he left now, his teacher would be directly attacked.

It didn’t matter if this was coming from a place of love for his teacher, or the fact that he could only have a chance of survival if his teacher also survived. He was not willing to step aside.

One by one, he began to ignite the defense rune sign in his hand. At the same time, those weak little souls had also ignited the last defense rune sign. His body was shining in 2 beams of white light.

However, in the face of these powerful magic, everything was useless. As the 3 firebombs exploded at the same time, the white light on his body was scattered, and his ‘frozen’ armor had faded away. Just like a paper wrapping a rock, Abel’s body flew out along with the massive shockwave.

There were 3 wizards who were responsible for the attack, and there was only a 10% chance that Abel could survive these massive attacks, so they didn’t care about Able being blown away.

“Abel!” Since Abel had taken all the blow of the 3 firebombs, Wizard Morton’s ‘frozen armor’ was still intact. When he woke up from his vertigo, he was just in time to see Abel flying out from the shockwave. Wizard Morton shouted.

The 3 Wizard’s second attack was well on its way again, but by that time, the clear-headed Wizard Morton had already disappeared from the spot.

“Ston! I want you all dead” as Wizard Morton roared in anger, he speeded towards a beginner wizard in a flash of lightning.

Lighting spells were the most difficult spell to learn, and the most difficult to unleash its power. The only pro of these spells was it’s speed, not its attacking power. Normally intermediate wizards would only learn the ‘move in the flash’ from lightning spells, and rarely other ones.

The beginner wizard could not do a ‘move in the flash’, and the speed of lightning was too quick for him, so he didn’t have time to dodge. He could only take out a defense rune sign to directly combat this strike of lightning.

The lightning viciously struck upon the beginner wizard. The force of the lightning was totally beyond his imagination as the beginner wizard got knocked to the ground.

That strike of lightning did not stop as it switched its target towards the body of another beginner wizard.

“Chain of lightning!” Wizard Ston roared in shock. In order to learn the ‘chain of lightning’ spell. One must first master both the electric spell ‘charging bolt’ and ‘lightning’. Just imagine, if the ‘chain of lighting’ had the power to knock down a beginner wizard in one strike. There would definitely need to have great mastery in both the ‘charging bolt’ and ‘lightning.’

Wizard Ston was shocked because he always thought Wizard Morton was a Wizard expertise in fire magic. He could never have guessed he was hiding so much electric power. Just think about how much effort and time that would take. Wizard Morton didn’t just know these 2 types of magic. He was expertise in both of them.

Wizard Ston was expertise in fire attacks. It was not that he didn’t want to learn other spells but that he didn’t have enough power of the will. Power trumped diversity, so If he tried to learn other spells, none of his spells would be powerful enough to counteract such a powerful opponent in a battlefield.

The second beginner wizard also didn’t escape the fate of the first beginner wizard. The ‘chain of lightning’ had the same ability as ‘move in the flash’. Once it successfully struck its first target, it would almost immediately transfer to the body of another target.

Seeing the 2 beginner wizards being knocked to the ground, Wizard Ston immediately unleashed his own white lightning and moved to a spot 40 meters out with the ‘move in the flash’.

‘Gosford! if you still don’t come out now, your deal will end here!” Wizard Ston roared.

The heart of Wizard Morton suddenly shook. Although he had already destroyed 2 beginner wizards, it didn’t affect his opponent too much. In a battle between 2 intermediate wizards, beginner wizards were used for dragging the time.

If Abel did not take up the entire blow. The 3 firebombs unleashed by 2 beginner wizards and one intermediate wizard were supposed to kill wizard Morton. This seemed like this was the first plan of Wizard Ston.

He didn’t want other wizards to know that he had connections with the Orc’s empire. Therefore, only after his first plan had failed. He let the 2 beginner wizard drag on so he could summon the deity of Gosford from the Orc’s empire.
