Chapter 1169 - God of War
Chapter 1169: God of War
Abel knew a thing or two about gods.
There was only one way to have easy access to the blood of a god, and that was taking some from a god in deep slumber.
That god needed to have no followers left. If not, there would still be a small chance of reawakening.
Therefore the Wizard Union was basically making a bet. But still, Wizard Dolan sounded very confident.
Abel followed him to the Wizard Union HQ with Frankenstein by his side. After all, Frankenstein was his mode of transportation.
They arrived at a large teleportation circle exclusive to the top ranks of the Wizard Union.
“Grandmaster Bennett. You as a headmaster of honour, so you can also use this large teleportation circle if you want to come to the HQ in the future!” Wizard Dolan stepped out and smiled.
Abel merely smiled. He probably wouldn’t come here again unless it was totally necessary because he could sense many unbearably scary energy behind them.
Of course, it was also because he had his world stone ignited. He wouldn’t be able to sense them in normal circumstances.
Even the least powerful energy was as strong as Wizard Dolan.
Abel wanted to keep his identity a secret, so he had to be extra careful.
He began to regret it. If he knew there were so many powerful figures in the Wizard Union HQ earlier, he would not have come here.
There was an angel in his druid soul. As far as he knew, the Demon from Beyond himself was an angel.
If the Wizard Union HQ discovered that he had an angel, they would directly take him down. He might not even have the privilege to get locked up like the other gods.
Still, the soul was the hardest thing to grasp in this world, especially what’s within it.
His druid soul was masked, so he should be fine.
The teleportation circle was located in the corridor, and they did not come across any wizards along the way. After passing through a few doors, they arrived at the underground.
“Grandmaster Bennett, Wizard Frankenstein can not enter the following area!” Wizard Dolan said.
Abel understood, so he nodded to Frankenstein and left him standing like a statue. It was a lifeless being, after all.
They passed through another door, and they arrived at an open space.
The walls and ceiling were filled with all kinds of magic patterns, and Abel could sense many triggers around him.
Even his skin began to feel irritated through his head commander’s intuition. There were at least 10 crossbows aiming at him.
“Grandmaster Bennett, please take out your headmaster badge of honour and hang it on your waist!” Wizard Dolan reminded.
Abel nodded and took out the headmaster badge from his portal bag. Immediately, all the threats he felt were gone. Even the crossbows turned away.
Wizard Dolan gazed at Abel. He knew it was impossible for a normal portal bag to block the detection of the magic circles around, let alone a headmaster badge.
There was only one explanation, Abel’s portal bag was an extremely high-level one.
Still, it was none of his business. He wouldn’t stand here as a legendary if he couldn’t even hold himself back from looking at a portal object.
Abel began to see wizards, and they all looked very serious.
“Grandmaster Bennett. This is the base of the Wizard Union. None of the wizards working here will never be able to leave unless they become a legendary!” Wizard Dolan explained.
Abel understood. They were working on top secrets, after all.
After some more walking, Wizard Dolan led Abel to a room with a short distance teleportation circle.
However, WIzard Dolan did not ignite the circle immediately. Instead, they allowed a magic circle to scan their bodies.
“Welcome Wizard Dolan and Honourable Headmaster Bennett; teleportation begins!” A robotic sound emerged, and Abel felt something gently lifted him into the teleportation circle.
Soon, he arrived at another room.
“Grandmaster Bennett. This is the most important place of the wizard union. Please be careful. You only have permission to be here with me around.
Even if Wizard Dolan did not warn him, Abel would understand just by sensing the sheer volume of defense around him.
If he was not wrong, this place shouldn’t be too far away from the underground space, but he was sure it was even deeper.
It was a strange feeling. Even the magic circles around him couldn’t soothe it.
Abel kept quiet and stepped out with Wizard Dolan. Immediately, he noticed a change In style.
The place was built out of stones from ancient sights. He almost couldn’t believe he was in the Wizard Union HQ.
“Grandmaster Bennett, as you can see, this place is built out of the materials found in ancient sights. Even I will have a hard time damaging them. On top of their defence, this place might be the most heavily guarded place in the continent….” Suddenly, Wizard Dolan thought of the golden castle and added, “one of the most heavily guarded places!”
There was no decoration. All the stones were filled with magic patterns.
As they stepped in, a power of the will scanned their bodies.
It then retracted once it confirmed its identity.
Wizard Dolan looked serious. But there was a hint of respect on his face when the power of the will scanned him.
Since Abel still had his world stone ignited, sensing that power of the will made him felt like a spec of dust facing the ocean.
It was not a good feeling. He always thought of himself as decently powerful with a Legendary knight as summon and an angel body, but in reality, he was laughable in the face of the Wizard Union’s true power.
Maybe Wizard Dolan and his 5 co-workers were just some legendary wizards working part-time on the surface.
“Grandmaster Bennett, I will take you to the god of war now!” Wizard Dolan walked with Abel for a moment and pushed open a door.
“God of war? The one the Barbarians worshiped in the Battlecry plateau?” Abel immediately asked,
“Yes, the Barbarians’ god of war. He was captured long ago. It took a while for us to get his power down!” WIzard Dolan smiled awkwardly.
According to the Wizard Union’s information, they were almost certain that Abel was the one who took their secret totem.
But it was because of this change of faith among Barbarians, the god of war no longer had a single follower left.
Of course, the Wizard union didn’t believe Abel was the only one behind this.
Only the goddess of the moon could change the faith of an entire race in such a short period of time, so she must have taken this role.
Things like this would normally be taken very seriously by the Wizard Union, but since the Barbarians were in decline, with the most powerful warrior being rank 20 and a population of less than a million, the faith they generated would not make much of a difference.
The Barbarians used to be one of the most powerful races, but after countless years of suppression by the Wizard union, they could only be helpers in the front line at the most.
Most importantly, Holy Knights were the universal enemy of the Central continent and their close-range fighting style perfectly suppressed the Barbarians. With the Barbarian’s limited fighting moves, they stood no chance against the Holy Knights aura, which ultimately led to their downfall.
Still, their battlecry and enchanting ability made them the perfect supporter in a team.
That was how Barbarians remained as a profession.
“Are we going to open that stone door?” Abel immediately changed the topic.
He didn’t want to talk to Wizard Dolan about this even in private, let alone with a powerful figure around.
“Grandmaster, that’s exactly what we are about to do!” Wizard Dolan smiled.
He stepped up and placed his hand on the stone door, and the pattern on its surface began to glow.
After a minute, the entire door was glowing in white as it slowly moved open.
Wizard Dolan smiled and nodded to Abel, signaling him to follow. So Abel did not hesitate.
Inside was an enclosed room made of stone as well, but on the deepest corner lies a sleeping giant locked up by 4 metal chains.
The giant was 5 meters tall. Since it did not have any clothes on, Abel could clearly see the mountain-like muscles on its body.
It had a full head of shiny long hair waving in mid-air even though there was no wind in the room.
Abel was confused. He was so close to such a strong body, but he didn’t feel any energy coming from it.
The god of war should have a scary amount of energy.
Abel turned his gaze towards the metal chains on its body. It seemed like they were no ordinary chain.
They were absorbing energy from the god of war and transferring it to the stone wall behind him.
“Master Bennett, this is the god of war!” Wizard Dolan was also a little stunned. It didn’t seem like he came here very often either.
Abel nodded.
“The chains on its body are from ancient times made to suppress gods. It had the power to absorb the power of god and turn it into this building’s defense.”
Abel couldn’t help but feel pitiful for it. It was the highest being that was locked up in a room for weaklings to come stare at it.
But that was not all. These two weaklings were about to withdraw blood from it.
