Chapter 988 - Out Of Danger
Chapter 988: Out Of Danger
Abel expanded his power of the will once again and swam towards the top of the underground stream. When he reached the top, his power of will still couldn’t scan the ground.
This just explained how far down he was underground. If his power of the will could not scan the ground, he could teleport towards the ground.
He reached his power of the will into the Varaya’s ring, and the invisible cape appeared on him. He put on the hood, and its mysterious crown was connected.
Suddenly, his power of the will be doubled, and everything at the range of 1600 meters was displayed in front of him.
He was 1300 meters underground. Without the cape, he would need to slowly find a soft spot in this underground stream to dig his way out.
But that would take forever. The elves or Lightning clan would have thought he was dead by that point.
A move in a flash spell pattern appeared on his hand, and he vanished from the stream. In a flash of white light, he appeared on the ground.
Although he could breathe underwater, it was still nothing compared to taking a breath of fresh air, so he gasped for it.
“It’s great to be alive!” Abel yelled towards the sky.
It was hard to imagine that he had escaped from a legendary knight with the ability to fly.
He knew their power was incomparable. He was so lucky that he had transformed into a dragon beforehand. If not, that legendary knight might have captured him before he even got the chance to react.
He let Frankenstein out of the monster ring. He could no longer move in a flash with his own wizard ability. His identity was a druid, after all.
He traveled so long in the underground stream. He didn’t even know where he was. He could only look at those giant wings in the sky and make a rough prediction of where he was. Afterward, he told Frankenstein to move him in the opposite direction.
They moved up a mountain, and Abel looked out from the peak. He still couldn’t recognize the terrain.
“Huh?” Just when he was getting disappointed, he spotted some ore below him. Not just any ore, but the good pure iron ore.
Although it was not as good as the ones drenched in lightning elements such as those in the Lightning ground, they were still rare.
His beast Jason was made out of fire condensed iron ores. Even though it had fire elements, it was not as good as pure iron ores.
He looked around and set up a medium barrier circle on the mountain peak.
He was fast. In less than a minute, the circle was set up.
He summoned Johnson and Jason from his monster ring. Stone giants were the best miners, after all.
Of course, there could be danger all around. He didn’t know that the legendary knight had been scared off by the legendary wizards, so he set up the barrier circle.
The first reason was to hide himself. The other was to hide his stone giants.
“Johnson, Jason, pick out the best ore!” Abel commanded them.
The stone giants bowed and kneeled. They placed their giant hands on the ground, and pure iron ores rushed out one by one.
Abel was taking a big risk for gathering iron ore immediately after his escape, but those things were too valuable. Maybe this was the only place that had it.
Even if someone had claimed this territory, it was better than directly invading a mine.
What Jason lacked was a strong body, so it could only become a long-distance cannon platform in battles. Since Abel became a law-defying wizard, a cannon platform was no longer necessary.
What he needed was a strong shield when he returned to his human form.
Doff with its ancient rod was doing the trick perfectly for his master Bennett identity, and Johnson and Jason were falling behind.
It was a mountain full of iron ore barely mined in the past. With both Johnson and Jason working together, a little mountain of pure iron ore was gathered.
Abel put them away in his Varaya’s ring. That amount was enough to make a body for Johnson.
He then put Johnson and Jason back to the monster ring. He was not planning to tell anyone about what he did. After all, it was stealing. As far as he knew, wizards were forbidden to take anything from the front-line battlefield.
At last, he put away the barrier circle, but just when he was about to leave. He saw a team of 200 elite holy knights led by a loyal mad knight appearing below him.
Although a barrier circle was very useful in most of the Central continent, it was not the case with the front line battlefield, and Abel didn’t know.
All teams in the front line battlefield had corresponding circles to discover circles. All the barrier circle could do was block out the outside from seeing what was happening within. The others could still spot its existence.
It was a mistake, and Abel had attracted a team of knights.
Those teams were normally out for resource-gathering missions. With such a vast territory, most resources were taken up but the Evil Kingdom and the Central Continent.
However, some resources were just way too big to take in at once, or they were just not crucial enough. So, in that case, they would protect it.
Still, those resources needed to be taken in one day, which was the mission of this team. With a loyal mad knight as the leader, this team was much more powerful than an average one considering that most teams who accept these kinds of resources gathering missions were only made up of elite wizards and elite priests.
The team had their gaze fixed. The mad knight knew Frankenstein was a law-defying wizard, but he didn’t care too much about Abel.
He could not sense any power from him, which could only happen under 2 circumstances. One was that Abel was a legendary power, and the other was that Abel was too weak. For a mad knight, the former was almost an impossibility.
If Abel really was a legendary power, where were the legendary knights?
After all, most scent hidden abilities were useless to a profession of their rank.
But that was exactly what Abel did. How could he not hide his scent? He just escaped from a legendary knight.
A little battle formation was formed. The team of knights was about to start their attacks.
Suddenly, a black hole appeared in the sky, and a 10 meters tall Beamon jumped out and landed above the team of knights.
It heavily struck down with its rod towards the mad knight.
The targets of this team of knights were mostly elite wizards, and that mad knight had only become rank 21 one not long ago.
Doff had fought against knights more powerful than him countless times, and he was at an advantage most of the time.
“Frankenstein, go as well.” Abel commanded and yelled, “Doff, be careful, i want all their corpses intact!”
It was not because Abel had some special interest. Even as an archpriest, he would not give up his wizard profession to research corpses.
What he needed were some good resurrection ingredients. He already had one in his personal storage box, but it was not easy to find another like it once he left the front-line battlefield.
Abel knew he wouldn’t return to the front line in the near future once he left. With a legendary power having an eye on him, he could no longer stay.
The mad knight’s face sank. Although he was surprised by Doff’s sudden appearance, he was furious by Abel’s words. He was already planning how he could torture this weak bastard once he killed this Beamon.
But soon, he knew he wouldn’t have the chance. Doff’s rod landed on his shield and shattered it immediately.
The 200 holy knights were also knocked back. Even though the force was distributed amongst all of them, their hands were still shaking.
At that moment, Frankenstein appeared behind the mad knight and threw out a frozen orb.
It was the first time this mad knight encountered such an arrogant law-defying wizard who had the guts to cast a spell right in front of him. He took out another shield with his shaking left hand and heavily struck down with his sword on his right.
Frankenstein didn’t act like a wizard at all. He did not dodge. Instead, he cast an ice pole spell to counteract the strike.
Doff, on the other hand, plunged straight into the knight formation. If that mad knight was only facing Doff, he would have been able to stop it, but he also wanted to kill this law-defying wizard. His loyalty for his God gave him the confidence to disregard all danger, not even the safety of the 200 knights behind him.
Doff divided the 200 knights from the Mad knight and kept the 200 knights occupied.
The frozen orb slammed on the shield of that mad knight. Its strength was far greater than his expectations, and his shield was immediately blasted away. At the same time, his sword also landed on Frankenstein.
His robe was cut open, but that was all the damage this rank 21 mad knights could do. Both his rune word armor and the ancient puppet body were not something this knight could make a scratch.
Without a shield, Frankenstein’s ice pole plunged straight into the mad knight’s body.
The ice pole spell was not a common spell for law-defying wizards. It was very powerful, and it had a scary frozen effect, but it was just too slow. Any speedy professions used to battling in mid-air could easily dodge it.
Wizards couldn’t fight at close range, and spells like ice poles could not work well in long range.
Frankenstein was the odd one out. At his range from the mad knight, speed was almost not a factor, and the ice pole directly plunged into the mad knight as soon as it was cast.
The level 27 ice pole on top of the level 23 ice enchantment of a law-defying wizard caused an immediate freeze on that mad knight even with his support aura.
Still, killing a mad knight with one spell was not easy, so Frankenstein took out the spirit sword from his right.
Yes, Frankenstein was using a sword to attack a mad knight. That mad knight was stunned. How crazy was this wizard?
Frankenstein was even madder than a mad knight. He didn’t chop, stab, or slash. Instead, he smashed him with the back of the sword.
