As the black hole closed, Abel could finally relax. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was worth it. Many wizards had served the Wizard Union for hundreds of years just to pay back the debt they owed the Wizard Union for building magic towers. Although he had enough gold coins and gems, some of the more important magic circles needed the Wizard Union to set them up, and those required credit points.
The Wizard Union would ask wizards to complete missions to earn credit points, and they would pay back the debt with credit points. Sometimes, gold coins and gems were not enough to buy a magic tower.
By this point, Abel's summons and creatures had stopped searching. There was a pile of items on the ground, but Abel didn't have time to look at them. He went up and put everything into his portal bracelet. After that, he put his summons and creatures into his monster ring.
"Flying Flame, Black Wind, let's go!" Abel yelled as he rode on Flying Flame. Black Wind disappeared from the spot and reappeared on Bai Yun's back. Flying Flame also flew into Bai Yun's invisible barrier.
In the Kingdom of Saint Ellis's Denan City, a Knight pointed at the eastern sky and yelled, "What is that?"
"My god, is that a punishment from the gods?" A merchant who had just finished a black-hearted deal looked at the white pillar of light in the east and yelled with a pale face.
Countless people in Denan City saw this strange scene. Some thought it was a miracle, some thought it was a curse, and some began to ride their horses towards the pillar of light.
The Wizard Union's headquarters in the Kingdom of Saint Ellis was located in the center of Denan City. It was completely isolated from the rest of the city by a giant protection circle. It was mainly used for wizards to issue and retrieve missions.
At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded in the Wizard Union. Following that, a voice emerged from the sound amplification circle, "All wizards, this is a state of emergency. All members of the Wizard Union must not leave the protection circle!"
In an office, three pale-faced beginner wizards were communicating with three advanced wizards through three communication circles.
"Mr. Edmond, we finally got in touch with you. A soul beam has appeared in the east of Denan City. It's as strong as an advanced wizard!" The beginner wizards let out a breath of relief when they heard the voice from the communication circle. This meant Wizard Edmond was fine.
"What? The soul light is on the east side of Denan City. Have you guys contacted Wizard Cliff yet? "Wizard Edmond's voice emerged from the communication circle.
"We're still trying. We'll let you know as soon as we get in touch with him!" The beginner wizard looked at the other two advanced wizards and replied.
"I'll go back to the Wizard Union now!" Wizard Edmond's' voice.
On the other side, the beginner wizard who was contacting Wizard Anthem had also connected to the communication circle.
"Soul beams? Are you sure?" Wizard Anthem's voice was filled with an indescribable fear when he heard the report, so he quickly asked.
"Yes, Mr. Anthem. We have already sent people to the location of the incident," the beginner wizard said with certainty.
Wizard Anthem continued to ask, "Did you get in touch with the masters?"
"Mister Cliff is the only one we haven't contacted yet!" The beginner wizard glanced at the other wizard who was still trying to contact him and replied.
"You said the soul beam was in the east of Denan City, right?" Wizard Anthem's voice was a little slow.
"Yes, Mr. Anthem!"
"I'll go back to the Wizard Union now!" Wizard Anthem didn't want to go back to the Wizard Union at all, but he had to do his duty.
Soon, the two advanced wizards had returned to the Wizard Union. Wizard Edmond and Wizard Anthem looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. It had been many years since a soul beam had appeared in the Holy Continent.
When a wizard became an official wizard from a novice wizard, a crystal core would be formed just like a spiritual beast. However, a wizard's crystal core would quickly dissipate when they died.
When a wizard leveled up to an elite wizard, their crystal core would undergo a huge upgrade. Once an elite wizard died, their power of the will would shoot up into the sky. This process of releasing power of the will would depend on the wizard's rank and how much power of the will they had. The amount of power of the will would determine the time of release and the size of the soul light.
Wizards called the light emitted from the crystal core of an elite wizard or above as the light of the soul. It was the final glory of a powerful elite wizard, and it was the release of all the solidified power of the will of an elite wizard.
Wizard Edmond and Wizard Anthem thought the next soul beam would appear on the west side of Denan City. That was where the wizard circle was located. There were many magic towers there, and Wizard Dunn was in a 17 story magic tower. Wizard Dunn was in a retreat. Judging from his age, this retreat might be his last retreat. What awaited him was the release of the soul beam.
Who would've thought that the soul beam would appear in the east of Denan City? That was where the investigation department was located. Wizard Cliff lived there normally, and the Wizard Union couldn't contact him. Even the entire investigation department couldn't contact him.
"Anthem, should we go?" Wizard Edmond asked softly.
"Can we not go? If we don't go, how are we going to explain to Cliff's fellow apprentices? "Wizard Anthem said helplessly.
"We can't split up. If someone can kill Cliff, they can kill us too!" Wizard Edmond said as he ignited a few defensive items on his body.
It wasn't that the two elite wizards were cowards, but they knew how hard it was to kill an advanced wizard. They also knew that Wizard Cliff was a wizard who cherished his life. There was no way he would fight to the death with his enemy.
Most importantly, the location of the soul beam was between the investigation department and Denan City. This meant that Wizard Cliff had escaped, but he was still killed by the enemy.
It was almost impossible to kill an advanced wizard who wanted to escape. The rumor in the Holy Continent was not a joke. Wizards who learned how to move in a flash would not be killed as long as they didn't want to die.
But now, this rumor was shattered. An advanced wizard was killed in the process of escaping.
"Let's go!" Wizard Edmond's body flashed in white light, and he appeared about a hundred meters away. Wizard Anthem also flashed next to him.
The two elite wizards carefully moved in a flash and arrived at the location of the soul beam.
The soul light had been released for a while, so it was not as strong as it was at the beginning. The 2 elite wizards knew that the soul light would disappear in 10 minutes at most.
"It's Cliff!" Wizard Anthem said as he saw Wizard Cliff's body was separated from the top. He couldn't help but look around and add a few more defensive items on his body.
"The killer should be gone. Cliff's portal bag is gone!" Wizard Edmond said as he carefully looked at Wizard Cliff's waist.
Wizard Anthem couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, "It's good that they're gone. We'll leave the investigation to someone else. We just need to report it to the higher-ups!"
Normally, if a portal bag and other valuables were taken away from a dead body, it meant that the killer had already done it. The chances of them leaving anything behind were very low. Also, it took them a lot of time to find the soul beam and get here. Of course, the two elite wizards were using the "move in a flash," but they were slower than usual.
Wizard Edmond squatted down and said, "His body was cut in half without any resistance. What a scary attack. Can you tell what kind of attack it was?"
Wizard Anthem gulped and said slowly, "I can't tell. I don't think there's any weapon in the world that can do that. Cliff had passive defensive items on him, and he wouldn't have not cast a defensive spell. What kind of attack could break through all his defensive spells and cut him in half in one hit?"
