Chapter 983: Absorb
If anyone looked back at that moment, they would be faced with a bizarre scene. The soul beam of that dead mad knight rushed into Abel’s dragon skull.
Abel realized a problem. Not only that, he could not move, but all of his energy was also fixed in his forehead. If he couldn’t float as a dragon, he would have dropped on the ground already.
He sensed a vicious unwilling scream from that soul beam as it was dragged into his crystal angel statue.
A normal soul beam could stay burning for a few hours, but the immense force created by his crystal angel statue was absorbed in a scary rate.
Just like that, the knight’s last bit of glory was demolished by Abel instead of returning to its lord in the Evil Kingdom.
The silhouette of a mad knight emerged in the crystal angel statue. He was no longer struggling. Instead, it was bowing down on one knee towards the statue with a strange peaceful look on his face, almost like he had returned to the arms of his god.
Abel couldn’t make sense of what was happening. This did not happen to the knight killed by Frankenstein.
Maybe he was too far away, or his body was not powerful enough to ignite the crystal angel statue.
Although being a big druid and a law-defying wizard was already considered a great power, it was still far behind a crystal angel statue.
However, as a giant dragon, the condition was satisfied even though he was not as powerful as his godly form in the Dark World.
As the dead mad knight bowed, Abel sensed that his crystal angel statue gained some extra ability, but he did not have time to check.
The soul beam of the knight in front of him had vanished, but the soul beam of the mad knight killed by Frankenstein moments ago was still burning.
Abel checked again and realized he had regained his movements. It was almost like time had frozen a moment ago as the soul beam entered him. It felt like an eternity, but it also felt like a flash.
He looked at the dead body, put away its special light gem, and threw the dead body in his personal storage box.
To others, dead bodies were an achievement at most, but for Abel, they were the best resurrection material.
He could use the resurrection spell again in half a year of Central Continent time. If he couldn’t find anything better, a mad knight would be good enough.
But of course, he would only be able to take a mad knight out in the Dark World, not in the Central Continent.
A dead body of this rank was too rare. If he didn’t join the Wizard Union on this big mission, no way he would be able to run into something like this.
Even in the wizard union, the dead body of every passed away law-defying wizard, archpriest, big druid, and Barbarian fighter would never land in Abel’s hands.
He also couldn’t just take any dead body. For example, the 2 mad knights killed by the goddess in the tree of life valley would be useless since all of their energy was absorbed by the goddess.
The mad knight killed by Frankenstein was also useless since its head was blasted into pieces. Even if Abel could resurrect it, it could not get a new soul without a head.
….
After the crystal angel statue absorbed the mad knight’s soul, the crystal angel statue’s energy began to sift out. Although it only lasted for a moment, it caused a reaction.
A pure white light flashed on the giant wings of the Evil Kingdom in the sky. Soon, an old man in a large roomy robe viciously opened his eyes within a pure white holy temple of the Evil Kingdom.
Strange golden ancient runes flashed and sifted within his eyes.
After 10 seconds, the golden runes vanished, and he lowered his voice as he lifted his head. “Godspeed!”
His voice was soft, but it was almost like a shockwave gushing out of the temple white a pure white holy light.
His voice filled the temple, and 2 armored knights quickly appeared in the temple like a flash of lightning.
Their charge was faster than any mad knight. It was almost neck to neck with a normal wizard’s move in a flash.
“The prestigious enlightened one, guardian knight Ando is here to hear the Godspeed!”
“The prestigious enlightened one, guardian knight Bobby, is here to hear the Godspeed!”
The two knights got on their knees and said with respect.
“Godspeed, the guardian wings allowed me to sense a holy object connected to my lord. Retrieve it, so my lord can return from his slumber!” The old man lowered his voice.
The god of the Evil kingdom entered a slumber after using the guardian wings, but his consciousness remained in power.
To wake him up again, they would need a holy treasure with the ability to affect gods.
Or maybe the body of another god or god-level being such as the tree of life.
This was why the Evil Kingdom had sent out so many knights to destroy the tree of life and retrieve its remains. However, they failed.
With such a big reaction from the guardian wings, this treasure they were about to encounter must be extremely important, even more important than the tree of life.
“The guardian knights will die to retrieve the lord’s holy object!” The two knights bowed and said.
“Knight Ando, you go first. The wizard union might have a big reaction if the 2 of you entered the front-line together. I will use the holy energy to hide your energy, so don’t let the wizard union know about your presence before you make a move!” The Enlightened gazed at the knights and focused on knight Ando.
“Knight Ando will not disappoint you!” Knight Ando’s face sank, but he was very happy to be chosen.
Knight Bobby was happy for him as well. Even though he didn’t get chosen himself, his life was still at the service of his lord.
“Knight Ando, this is the scent of the person who has the holy object. Find him!” The Enlightened one let out a strand of golden light with a scent. It was Abel’s scent.
“The scent of a young druid with a vicious giant dragon!” Knight Ando mumbled.
“A dragon druid?” The Enlightened lowered his voice.
Although he had the most say in the Evil kingdom, he was not the most powerful. He was only the spokesman of the Guardian wings, the chosen one.
His status was similar to Lorraine in the elves. He had the authoritative status of a god, but that had nothing to do with his own ability.
” Enlightened one, I think I know who he is!” Knight Ando’s face began to move, and a strand of excitement sifted from his voice.
“Oh, you’ve seen him?” The Enlightened was also excited.
He was not expecting things to progress this quickly. According to the guardian wing, this holy object could be an opportunity to bring their god back. So, of course, the Enlightened one was excited.
“A young dragon druid, and the most powerful potion maker in the Central Continent, the beloved elf of the Goddess of the moon, the guardian of the goddess temple, Master Bennett!” Knight Ando said with certainty.
He formed a fist in mid-air as though he was grabbing Master Bennett. He was confident that there was no escape.
“Amazing, now I will use the holy energy to hide your scent!” The Enlightened one smiled
He reached his hand towards the sky, and a golden beam lowered from the guardian wings. The beam began to shape into a long robe.
He then threw robe towards knight Ando, and its golden sparkled wrapped around knight Ando in mid-air,
Knight Bobby could clearly sense Knight Ando’s scent fading away from the side as though as he was never there,
Knight Ando was a truly legendary knight. If he stepped out the guardian wings for even half a step without something to hide his scent, at least a few legendary wizards would notice. At that point, he might not even be able to buy any time, let alone find someone.
The Evil kingdom needed development and the Central Continent, which was why the front line, second line, and third-line battlefield were established.
Those battlefields were like a child’s game for the legendaries. They were the final card of a force. Once a battle between them broke out, it would cost a big loss for both sides.
Still, both sides had their backups. The Evil Kingdom had the guardian wings, and the Central Continent had built 2 crazy lines of defense.
First was 100 law-defying wizards who faked their death. Even if a legendary knight wanted to pass through, they would not be able to without sacrifice.
As you know, Law defying wizards were already the masters of law. Although they were not as powerful as the legendaries, they would unleash legendary power by sacrificing their life and an extremely valuable magic tower.
The second line of defense was the Wall of Doomsday. It was the pinnacle of achievements from elf and dwarf magic circle makers through countless valuable resources. It was the final card in the hearts of the Central Continent elite.
The wizard union didn’t want to go all out with the Evil Kingdom. But it was only in the front-line that the strongest law Defying wizard would turn them into legendary wizards before they found a way to break the Wings of Guardian.
The evil Kingdom also didn’t want to go all out because once the front-line battlefield was wiped out, they would lose another layer of defense.
The attack of the howling castle these past 2 days had drained a lot of energy from the Guardian wings, but if they really lost the front line battle, the wizard union would be able to unleash a full attack on the guardian wings. That would only further drain their energy to the point where the guardian wing could no longer protect the Evil Kingdom as well as their slumbering god.
They didn’t have an unlimited amount of energy since most of it came from the sacrifice of life. It was only through sacrifice. The Guardian wings would be able to transfer those energies into holy energy.
Holy Energy supported all the most powerful achievements of the Evil kingdom.
Breaking the Wall of Doomsday, keeping the Guardian Wings occupied, and creating new Holy knights. The holy energy was crucial to all those things.
Once this balance was broken, the front-line battlefield would be immediately taken out, and no one wanted to see that.
Therefore, guardian knight Ando had to hide his identity from the Legendary wizards the moment he walked out of the Guardian wings. But even if they had an unlimited amount of Holy energy, the effect would only last for a day at most, and if Knight Ando started his attack, the holy energy would fade away.
Just like that, Knight Ando teleported out of the Evil Kingdom like a ghost, but he did not enter the front line battlefield with a teleportation circle. That would affect the holy energy, and he didn’t want to take the risk.
