Chapter 180: After The Battle
Exodus Tales Exodus Tales
A stream of relentless fire shot out from Wizard Morton. By the time the deity of Gosford had woken up, he was already surrounded by the flame. All the could do now was to scream in agony. Afterward, the scream slowly gets softer and softer.
The support was here. But when the skeletons were just meters away from Wizard Morton, they suddenly came to a halt. Afterward, he let out an “ah,” and all fell to the ground in pieces.
The battle had ended. Wizard Morton lowered his head to look at Abel and asked in a full heart of worries “Abel, what happened?”
By this point, Abel had finally relaxed after an intense battle. Now, the immense pain in his body began to register in his brain. Especially his mouth, there were still bits and pieces of crystal glass sticking inside it. The pain was unbearable.
“N...nothing!” Abel could barely speak these 2 syllables before fresh blood began to pour out him his mouth again.
“Yeah, sure. This is some medicine for your wounds. Just take it first, I’ll find some better options for you when we get back.” said Wizard Morton taking out a bottle of medicine from his portal bag, opened Abel’s mouth and poured it inside.
Abel swallowed the medicine at once. A numb itching feeling emerged from his mouth, and soon he began to cough out a few mouthfuls of blood and crystal chips. The wounds in his mouth had healed up a lot as well.
“Let’s get going now,” said Wizard Morton.
“Teacher, the things on that Wizard!” Said Abel trying his best to speak.
“You greedy bastard. Don’t worry; I won’t forget.” In a few flashes of light, Wizard Morton had ripped the portal bags off the 2 beginner wizards and shoved their dead bodies inside. Then, he returned to Abel’s side.
“How about him?” Abel knew the deity of orcs were very powerful, so how could he not have anything good on him.
“Abel, according to the rule of battle, those are your spoils of war. You had counteracted the first attack to protect me and used your wounded body to hold up an intermediate deity. Most of all, you broke the deity’s spell in the most crucial moment!” Said Wizard Morton looking at Abel with the most serious expression.
Abel looked back at Wizard Morton in a puzzled look and said: “Teacher, isn’t this what a disciple supposed to do?”
“Why are your thoughts so weird? A disciple is a disciple. They don’t need to risk their lives for their teacher,” Although this was what Wizard Morton had said, he was deeply touched, and the expression in his eyes was filled with gratitude.
“Teacher, I could only survive because of you. You are the one who truly risked your life for me! Said Abel honestly.
“Abel, not many people can do this! Anyway, let’s pack up the dead body of the deity. We need to get back quick to help you treat your wounds,” Said Wizard Morton, looking at the wounds filled face of Abel.
Abel searched for a while on the dead body of the deity of the orc. He didn’t find any portal bag, that was weird. However, when he was about to shove the deity of orc’s dead body into his own portal bag and give it a more detail search after he got back, he realized it was impossible to do so.
“Teacher, how come I can’t put his dead body into my portal bag?” Abel turned to Wizard Morton and asked.
“The deity of orcs have some very weird dimension tool. They don’t trust anyone, and they like to keep their best stuff inside their body. Therefore, they will often swap out a part of their bones into a dimension tool,” Said Wizard Morton.
At that moment, Abel realized why he could not put the dead body of the deity of the orc into his portal bag. A portal bag could not let any other dimension tool be put inside, so he had to find where the deity of orc was storing its dimension tool first.
It seemed like the only way now was to use his power of the will to examine. But suddenly, Abel remembered when he was unleashing his most vicious attacks, the deity of orc had sent out a mud monster from the tip of his right finger, which had become a mud armor afterward, making his attacks useless.
That’s right. It was on its right finger. Therefore, Abel used his power of the will and did the most detailed examination on the deity of orc’s right finger. He was correct; a joint in one of his fingers was different.
Abel took out an ice magic big sword from his portal bag. In a flash, a little joint from the deity of orc’s finger was perfectly picked out. The tip of the sword frosted the chunk of flesh on the joint. Then with a flick of the sword, the flesh fell on to the floor.
Seeing the sword skill of Abel, Wizard Morton couldn’t help but exclaim, “If you weren’t a Wizard, you would definitely be a powerful Knight. Its a pity for your gift as a Knight.
Of course, Abel would not tell anyone about the secret of his golden combat qi. He merely held the finger joint in his hand and rushed his power of the will inside. There was no resistance. The wealth of the deity of orc was exposed in front of his eyes.
The space of the finger joint was not big, only about a square meter. There were some bottles on the side, some lambskin parchment, 2 books, a pile of magic gems, but most of all, there was a human puppet made entirely out of gold.
“Teacher, what are all these things used for?” Said Abel as he handed the finger joint to Wizard Morton.
Wizard Morton didn’t refuse as he gave out a little smile. He then began to examine the finger joint.
Meanwhile, Abel was putting the dead body of the deity of orc into his portal bag. Then, he noticed the deity of orc’s magic cane on the ground not far from him. This was the first magic cane he saw in this world. Therefore, he quickly stepped towards it and directly shoved it in his portal bag. He didn’t have time to examine its attributes currently.
“Abel, be careful of the crystal glass in here, don’t ever open it without consideration. Only start messing with it once you learned potion study. Deities are experts in making poisons, so I speculate that most of the things in here are poisons. In regards to the deity’s knowledge, just take a look at it. Don’t learn it for no reason. Although they have the same origin as the human wizards, after countless years of changes, we are now nothing alike,” Wizard Morton warned Abel after seeing the things inside.
“Teacher, how about that gold puppet?” Asked Abel, he was very curious towards the puppet.
“If I had guessed correctly, this golden putter is a stone metal monster from an elite deity, “Wizard Morton explained.
“Stone metal monster?” After Abel had heard this word, he was reminded of the skeletons the deity had summoned today. It seemed like the deity of orc’s occupation was a bit like the Necromancer in Diablo.
“According to legends, sometimes an elite deity will forcefully rip their elite “stone metal monster’ spell from their body before they die to protect their offsprings. This allowed the stone metal monster to live on forever,” Although Wizard Morton didn’t like deities too much, he still respected this action quite a lot.
“If this is the case, wouldn’t the orc’s empire have a lot of stone metal monster?” This was a thing summoned by an elite deity. So if what the teacher had said was true, every elite deity will rip their “stone metal monster” out of their body before they die. Then, there should be a lot of stone metal monsters roaming around.
“Of course not!” Said Wizard Morton shaking his head with laughter, he then followed, “Let’s not talk about the pain an elite deity needs to go through to rip their spells off their body. I don’t even think one out of ten elite deities can successfully do so. So your biggest takeaway from this battle is this stone metal monster.”
“Teacher, why didn’t the deity just use this monster just then?”Abel asked curiously.
“What else could he do. He had already summoned an altered ‘mud monster’ spell on his body. I’m not sure what the reason is, but mud monsters and stone metal monsters could not be summoned at the same time.
After Wizard Morton had answered Abel’s question, he waved his hand and said: “I’ll answer more of your questions later, if you still don’t treat your wounds soon, you might be in big trouble!”
As he was speaking, Wizard Morton grabbed Abel’s hand and unleashed the ‘move in a flash’ continuously. It was the second time Abel had the privilege to enjoy this service. He had gained his experience from last time, so he surrounded his head with his golden combat qi under his skin. The dizziness had soon disappeared.
Under the continuous teleportation, Abel could truly feel the power of an intermediate wizard. What power could this be? He had reached a few hundred meters in almost no time—afterward, another few hundred meters. There were a 200 meters long river in front of him. It was considered as a decent size river in their world, but under the lead of Wizard Morton, a second ago, he was still in the left shore of the river, but now he was on the right shore. Just like that, he moved through countless obstacles.
The scariest thing was that Wizard Morton had just finished an intense battle. However, he still has enough energy to unleash that much ‘move in a flash’. The speed of the spell was crazy too. It was almost like a quicken spell.
