"Commander spirit, begin scanning!" Since they had Bai Yun's teleportation ability, it only took them half a day to reach the Kingdom of St. Anwall from the Duchy of Carmel to the Kingdom of St. Anwall. Abel said to the commander spirit.
Bai Yun's teleportation ability could teleport the entire battle fort 03, including all the lives on it. Surprisingly, it did not consume a lot of energy. Maybe it was because of its natural ability to strengthen non-combat abilities, or maybe it was because of its huge body.
It was a long journey from the Duchy of Carmel to the Kingdom of St. Anwall, but it only took them half a day.
The teleportation ability was a life-saving ability. Originally, it was supposed to be activated automatically after a severe injury.
However, White Cloud retained the characteristic of low energy consumption, but turned the 'teleportation' ability into an ability that could be activated automatically. Thinking about it, if the 'teleportation' ability had a high energy consumption, it would not have been activated after being severely injured.
"Headmaster, scanning …" The commander spirit replied through Abel's power of the will.
By this time, Bai Yun had returned to her flying mode and was dragging the invisible battle fort 03 along.
Abel did not leave the mission of finding the Assassins Guild Headquarters to the commander spirit. Instead, he stood on the top floor of the simulated magic tower.
The top floor of the magic tower was fully opened. It had become a space without walls or ceiling. He held a telescope in his hand and used the most primitive way to observe the situation below.
There were hills everywhere. Large amounts of plants grew everywhere, making this place a sea of greenery.
Another half a day passed, and the sky began to turn dark. However, neither the commander spirit nor Abel discovered anything.
"Could it be that the Assassins Guild really placed the entire Assassins Guild Headquarters in a large-sized seclusion circle?" Abel mumbled to himself as he looked at the map in his hand. He had already flown around this area, but he did not find anything out of the ordinary.
Either the Assassins Guild wasn't in this area, or there was a large-sized seclusion circle set up here. However, large seclusion circles were too precious. Abel was already considered rich among wizards, but he had never gotten one before.
The large-sized seclusion circle wasn't on the exchange list of the Liante City Wizard Union. No matter how many credit points you had, you couldn't exchange for it. As far as Abel knew, most of the magic circles that weren't on the exchange list were because the materials used were too precious and rare. Unless you asked a magic circle master to make one, it was very difficult to get them.
He couldn't help but scratch his head. If Wizard Allenby wasn't confident, there was no way he would give him a map like this.
Abel had used a small isolation array before, so he knew how terrifying it was. It could completely isolate all auras and images from the outside world, turning it into an independent space. The outside world would not be able to discover what was happening inside.
Although the commander spirit's scanning ability was powerful, it could not break through the barrier circle.
"Oh right, I can go down. Aren't those trees the best way to investigate?" Abel's eyes began to sparkle as he looked down at the greenery. He was in a human body, so he almost forgot about his ability to communicate with plants like an elven soul speaker.
In a flash of white light, his body disappeared from the battle fort 03 and reappeared next to a big tree on the ground.
Just as he appeared, a black venomous snake suddenly attacked him from behind the tree.
Just when the black poisonous snake was about to bite him, he grabbed its head with his right hand and violently threw it out.
"What a coincidence, I just landed and got attacked by a poisonous snake?" Abel thought to himself as he extended his power of the will. There were tens of different kinds of poisonous snakes within a few hundred meters of him.
The density of poisonous snakes here was way too high. Abel immediately understood that someone must have done this on purpose. It was rare to see such a density of poisonous snakes in a natural environment.
Abel connected his power of the will to the transformation necklace on his chest and unleashed a little of his hidden dragon essence. As soon as he unleashed his dragon essence, he heard countless noises coming from the bushes. It was like all the poisonous snakes had met their natural predator, so they all frantically fled from his range.
Abel had purposely controlled his dragon essence, so he only unleashed a little bit. Otherwise, all the creatures on this hill would have fled, and it would cause too much of a commotion.
Without the snake's disturbance, he placed his left hand on the trunk of the tree and activated his Soul Speaker ability. His mind was connected to the tree.
Afterward, the tree began to transmit a message to the other trees around it. A strange rustling sound emerged from the tree Abel's hand was in the center, and ripples began to spread out like water waves.
The surrounding trees continued to transmit the situation around them back to Abel's mind. Many images appeared in his mind, some of them were of animals, some of them were of humans.
All the information that was sent back from the trees within a few hundred miles formed a map in his mind. It was a map of what was happening around each tree.
On this map, there was a valley that was different from the others. It seemed to be completely blank, and it was very eye-catching in the map in his mind.
"Found it!" A smile appeared on Abel's face as he muttered to himself.
A soul speaker was like a cheater in a place where there were trees. All the trees and plants were the eyes and ears of a soul speaker. Especially a soul speaker like Abel, who had a powerful power of the will. With the data analysis ability of the world stone, he could unleash the soul speaker's power of the soul speaker to the extreme.
No matter how monstrous the isolation formation was, no matter how much it isolated the aura and everything, in the world of plants, there were no senses or objects, so there was no feedback.
Abel sent out a message of gratitude to the trees. Afterward, he transformed some green life energy from the colorless energy in his Druil soul and gave it to this tree.
After absorbing the green life energy, the tree trunk and branches began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was like this tree had grown for 10 years in just a few minutes, and its life force had become even stronger.
Abel took back his left hand as the tree thanked him. Afterward, his body disappeared from the spot and reappeared on top of battle fort 03 in the sky.
Since they had found their target, the rest was simple. Bai Yun pulled battle fort 03 to the sky above the valley.
Abel looked down at the valley on the ground. There was nothing special about it. It was just a normal valley. No matter how you looked at it, the valley that was simulated by the seclusion circle looked like it was real.
Even the scanning circle's result was the same. The barrier circle could fool almost everything.
However, a fake tree was still a fake. A fake tree could not respond to a soul speaker's call, and it could not be recognized by a real tree.
It was probably because of this large-scale isolation array that the Assassin's Guild believed that it was impossible for anyone to find their headquarters.
Looking at the location of this valley, unless one could forcefully climb over the precipice, there was no way to enter the valley. Otherwise, with the valley being sealed off from all sides, it was impossible for ordinary people to find it.
On top of that, there were countless poisonous snakes in this area, so anyone who wanted to enter would have to think twice.
However, the people from the Assassin's Guild headquarters didn't expect that a soul speaker would come to investigate this area. One must know that soul speakers were very rare even among the elves.
Also, normal soul speakers couldn't use their ability as much as Abel could. It would take a lot of time for an elf soul speaker to find the difference in this valley. It was not as easy as it was for Abel.
"Prepare for battle!" Abel yelled to his summons.
Seeing how excited Flying Flame, Johnson, and White Snow were, Abel knew that his summons had not fought for a long time, and they couldn't wait any longer.
"Flying Flame, don't be in a rush. I'll call you when I need you!" Abel said to Flying Flame.
Flying Flame was now a real dragon. In the Orc Empire, he could kill anyone he wanted. He could kill as many orcs as he wanted, but this was the human world. If someone saw Flying Flame, he didn't want to kill innocent people.
Flying Flame yelped in annoyance and returned to its nest.
"Bai Yun, teleport inside!" Abel said to Bai Yun.
In the past, Bai Yun would not participate in battles, but ever since Bai Yun gained the ability to teleport, it could directly teleport the battle fort to a place where it needed to fight. On top of that, the battle fort had the ability to become invisible. It was like placing a super weapon on top of the enemy's head without them knowing.
Bai Yun understood what Abel meant. It grabbed the battle fort and teleported it into the seclusion circle.
This was the terror of teleportation spells. Teleportation spells like 'instantaneous movement' and 'teleportation' could both ignore ordinary magic circles. Although the isolation circle could isolate aura and images, it could not block White Cloud's teleportation ability.
Just as Abel expected, after Bai Yun brought the battle fort into the seclusion circle, he saw a 17 story magic tower and a building about 2 miles away.
"Found it!" Abel thought to himself.
Just like the report said, the Assassins Guild was backed by a rank 17 wizard. That 17 story magic tower must be Wizard Kilmer's magic tower.
The building on the other side should be where the Assassins Guild was. As long as he destroyed this place, the Assassins Guild would cease to exist.
Just as Abel was about to make his move, a message suddenly came from the battle command spirit, "Headmaster, a spirit has been discovered. It has no defensive ability. Should I forcefully connect?"
"There's a spirit here?" Abel heard this and thought about how the Assassins Guild Headquarters handled all the assassinations in the Holy Continent every day. If there was no spirit, how many people would it take to handle so much information? How could they make sure nothing went wrong?
"Can I forcefully connect to this spirit?" Abel's heart skipped a beat. As long as he could connect to that spirit, he would know who sent the order to assassinate him!
"Headmaster, should I forcefully connect to the spirit?" The battle command spirit asked again.
"Yes, let me connect!" Abel couldn't help but slap his head. He was so stupid. The battle command spirit was already asking if he should forcefully connect, and he still went to ask.
But he couldn't blame himself. Who knew the battle command spirit could directly connect to other spirits? Wasn't it like the hackers from his past life?
"Connecting, successful!
Headmaster, do you want to obtain the permission of this spirit and remove the permission of other users? "
The battle command spirit asked again.
"Battle command spirit, I like this. Set me as the only owner of this spirit. Remove the permission of all other users!" Abel said in joy. The battle command spirit was too awesome.
"All user permissions have been removed. You are now the only user. You can check all the information through me, or you can obtain the spirit itself. Get close to the spirit and command it directly!" The battle command spirit replied.
"Wait!" Abel didn't check immediately. He wanted to kill all the enemies here first and take out the spirit.
But since there was such a valuable spirit here, he couldn't use the super exploding ball. If he threw it down, all the spirits would be gone.
"Battle command spirit, can you enter all spirits and forcefully connect to them?" Abel remembered how scary the battle command spirit was, so he quickly asked.
"Headmaster, I can only forcefully connect to spirits that are not protected. If the spirit is protected, I can't forcefully connect to it from a distance. If you connect me to the spirit itself, I can forcefully connect to any lower ranked spirit, no matter if it is protected or not!" The battle command spirit explained.
Of course, Abel didn't understand a lot of the information. For example, he didn't know what the protection of a spirit was, and he didn't know how to forcefully connect. However, he knew the battle command spirit was very powerful. It was so powerful that he had only seen a miracle spirit of the same rank in Miracle City.
"Then can you forcefully connect to the tower spirit of the magic tower?" Abel pointed at Wizard Kilmer's magic tower and asked.
"Headmaster, there are too many protections there. I can't connect!" The battle command spirit's answer made Abel understand a little.
What was the difference between the tower spirit of the Magic Tower and the spirit of the Assassin's Guild headquarters? Of course, there was a difference. The two were in different environments. One was in a Magic Tower, where there were defensive magic arrays everywhere, while the other was in an ordinary working area where there were no magic arrays.
It seemed like the battle command spirit could forcefully connect to a spirit that only worked for normal people.
"Battle command spirit, can you help me check if there is a teleportation circle here?" Abel commanded again.
"Yes, headmaster!" The battle command spirit replied. Soon, it sent another message, "There is a teleportation circle here, but it is currently closed!"
"Battle command spirit, if the teleportation circle is closed, is there any way to stop them from opening it?" Abel asked again.
"Headmaster, only a spirit can open a teleportation circle here. Now that the spirit is yours, no one can open it except for you!" The battle command spirit's reply made Abel very happy.
He didn't expect that everything here was controlled by a spirit. Now that the spirit was his, all the magic circles here were useless. He could turn them off at any time.
"Prepare to attack the magic tower!" Abel said to the battle fort no.03 spirit. The most powerful person in this valley was Wizard Kilmer. He was also the pillar of the Assassins Guild. As long as Wizard Kilmer was killed, the rest of the Assassins Guild would not be a threat.
As Abel's voice faded, 200 battle positions appeared on the battle fort no.03. 200 small-sized war puppets were automatically loaded into the battle positions and ready to attack at any time.
At the same time, the battle fort no.03's mechanical voice emerged in Abel's ear, "Master, the battle position is ready. We are ready to listen to your orders!"
"Snow White, go and watch the Assassins Guild Headquarters. If anyone tries to escape, kill them immediately!" Abel said to Snow White.
Snow White was an elite spiritual beast. Although its fighting power was affected by the cold, it still had the power of an elite wizard.
As a flying spiritual beast, it had no problem locking down a building. According to Abel's report, there was only one elite wizard here, which meant that the other assassins in the Assassins Guild were all weaker than elite wizards. Snow White was more than enough to deal with them.
Battle fort no.03 moved again and arrived near the 17th floor magic tower. Since the battle fort had not yet appeared, the scanning circle in the magic tower did not detect any intruders.
Wizard Kilmer, who was resting on the seventeenth floor of the magic tower, heard an alarm from the tower spirit. From the void, a giant steel monster jumped down from the sky.
Among all of Abel's summon creatures, other than Flying Flame, which had become a real dragon, Johnson had the strongest defense.
Johnson had the ability to burn mana, which increased its magic resistance by 75%. On top of that, there were all kinds of defensive runes on its body, so its magic resistance was extremely high.
The many iron balls on its body were all made of fine iron, so its physical defense was also extremely high. Therefore, it was the best choice for Johnson to directly face the magic tower.
Johnson jumped down from the hidden battle fort 03. A super knight sword appeared in its hand while it was in mid-air. It raised the super knight sword up high, and with the momentum of its descent, it viciously chopped down towards the magic tower.
"Enemy attack!" When Wizard Kilmer heard the warning from the tower spirit, he immediately connected his power of the will to the scanning circle of the magic tower.
When the scanning circle was opened, he saw a giant Knight sword slashing towards the body of the magic tower. Without thinking, he ignited the protection circle on the magic tower with his power of the will.
With the addition of Johnson's weight, its strength, and the momentum of its fall, this strike was almost the pinnacle of a physical attack.
The protection circle of the magic tower was powerful, but it had its limits. On top of that, Johnson's appearance was too sudden. Less than 1/5 of the protection circle could be opened in time, so the magic tower had not reached its peak.
This situation was very rare in any magic tower. A magic tower had its own scanning ability, so it could automatically detect an enemy and react. Therefore, a sneak attack was not very likely for a magic tower.
But Johnson was different. It jumped down from the hidden battle fort no.03 and directly appeared in front of the magic tower to attack.
It took a while for the spirit to find out, notify Wizard Kilmer, and then open up the defensive circle. Notifying the owner of the magic tower and opening up the defensive circle almost happened at the same time, but in the end, even with Wizard Kilmer's help, the circle was only opened by one-fifth of the time before the super knight's big sword hit it.
Wizard Kilmer heard a loud noise and felt the magic tower tremble. He almost couldn't stand still because of the tremor.
"Master, the magic tower is damaged. 10% of the protection circle is damaged!" The tower spirit's emotionless voice emerged.
10% of the defense of a rank seventeen magic tower was destroyed in one strike. If other wizards knew about this, they would not be able to imagine it.
Wizards' defense against physical attacks was a lot stronger than elemental attacks. The magic tower was the second body of a wizard, so its defense against physical attacks was extremely strong.
Normally, even a head Knight with a Knight's big sword would not be able to do much damage to the magic tower.
Wizard Kilmer woke up from the tremor. He heard the damage of the magic tower, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He knew who was coming from that giant steel monster.
According to the legends, Guru Abel had a steel monster like this, and it had killed a rank seventeen wizard.
This steel monster named Johnson was one of the few contracted creatures in the Holy Continent that could kill an elite wizard head-on. Because of this, it was widely known.
"Guru Abel, come out. Let's talk!" Wizard Kilmer yelled through the magic tower's amplification circle.
Although he couldn't see where Abel was, he knew Abel must be nearby. With all his contracted creatures here, Abel couldn't be far away.
Wizard Kilmer continued to yell, "I can give you the name of the person who placed the order, Grandmaster Abel. I'll give you enough compensation as well. Please stop!"
What awaited him was an even more violent attack from Johnson. Its super Knight's big sword kept slashing at the magic tower.
There was no way Abel would accept a mediation. He and the Assassins Guild were already at war. The Assassins Guild was almost destroyed by him. Even if Wizard Kilmer said he would let it go and give him compensation, Abel wouldn't believe him.
The best enemy was a dead one!
Abel had always believed in this, and he had always done this. Basically, none of his enemies were still alive in this world.
He also knew how scary an elite wizard could be. A rank seventeen wizard who could become the backer of the Assassins Guild must be extremely powerful.
Although Abel was confident in his own abilities, he didn't think he was as powerful as a rank seventeen wizard.
As soon as he appeared in Wizard Kilmer's senses, Wizard Kilmer would be able to teleport to him and attack him with crazy spells. Abel wasn't going to take that risk.
"Damn that iron-skinned monster! Blizzard!" Wizard Kilmer kept receiving reports from the tower spirit about the damage to the defense circle. In a short period of time, the magic tower's damage had increased by another 5%.
Regardless of the result of this battle, the magic tower's repair would cost a lot of resources.
As Wizard Kilmer yelled, a black cloud formed on top of Johnson's head. Afterward, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
Each snowflake contained a huge amount of cold energy, and it was falling towards Johnson.
The iron balls on Johnson's body quickly moved, and the ice defense runes appeared on the outermost layer of its body. When the "blizzard" spell fell, its body flashed with blue light.
Wizard Kilmer saw the blue light flashing on Johnson's body. He knew the freezing effect had been triggered. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Using this big guy to attack his magic tower would only result in a baptism of spells.
The 'Blizzard' spell itself was a powerful spell. In addition to the destructive power of the ice element, it also had a deceleration effect on the target. Once the enemy was hit by this spell, they would be slowed down and then be continuously attacked by the 'Blizzard' spell.
The power of the "blizzard" spell had been strengthened by the seventeen-story magic tower. It was enough to increase the attack power of a rank eighteen wizard.
The blue light on Johnson's body only lasted for two seconds in the blizzard, and its speed returned to normal. It slashed out another five or six times, and then it was slowed down by the blizzard again, and blue light appeared on its body again.
The "blizzard" spell could only slow down Johnson's speed. Its body was very resistant to spells. As it stood in the middle of the "blizzard," runes kept flashing on the iron balls on its body. Those runes were resisting the freezing damage.
It wasn't that Johnson wasn't injured, but it was Abel's summon. According to the rules, it could use potions. Of course, the healing potions of the Holy Continent were almost useless to it. Only the healing potions of the Dark World could heal its body.
Therefore, Abel's Druil soul had been using the "light healing potion" on Johnson. Even if Johnson's body was bathed in the "blizzard," it wouldn't be damaged by the freezing elements.
Wizard Kilmer could see how scary Johnson's defense was. It was equivalent to the attack power of a rank eighteen wizard, which was already the most powerful spell attack power in the Holy Continent. Under this kind of spell attack, this iron monster could still keep attacking the magic tower with its super Knight sword.
If this kept going, it would only be a matter of time before the magic tower was broken. There were too many things in this magic tower. His wealth, his collection after he became a wizard, was all here.
Even if his portal bag was a rare ten square meters one, it couldn't fit all of his collection. This was why he put it in the magic tower, which he thought was the safest place.
"Guru Abel, can you stop? Let's talk. I'm willing to hand over the Arch-knight Of Acton and Wizard Eliot. They're the ones in charge of the Assassins Guild. Everything is their decision. It has nothing to do with me!" Wizard Kilmer yelled towards the outside of the magic tower again. This time, he was begging for mercy.
Abel didn't panic. He didn't say anything. He just let Johnson keep attacking. Who knew what kind of magic circle was on the magic tower? The magic tower could only maintain its defensive circle. If they stopped attacking, the magic tower would pour all of its energy into the attack circle.
When that happened, Johnson would be attacked by both the magic tower and Wizard Kilmer. Although its defense was strong, it would still need Abel's potions if it took too much damage.
Also, elite wizards had a lot of life-saving methods. Wizard Kilmer might look like he couldn't fight back now, but he still had a lot of tricks up his sleeves when Abel faced him head-on.
The most important thing right now was to break the magic tower and let Wizard Kilmer out. Only then would he be able to hurt him.
