With Wizard Kilmer and Wizard Eliot dead, all the wizards in the Assassins Guild who could move in a flash were dead. Abel couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
It wasn't like there were only 2 wizards in the Assassins Guild that could move in a flash. There were even rank 16 wizards in the Assassins Guild, but those wizards were just there to make some extra money. They weren't the real core members of the Assassins Guild.
The Assassin Union's headquarters didn't allow the wizards who could move in a flash to come here. This was because the effect of moving in a flash on the magic circle was too great, so the Assassin Union didn't allow them to come here.
Now that the two adepts who could teleport had been killed, the remaining members of the Assassin Union were no longer a threat.
The other leader, Arch-knight Of Acton, was also very powerful, but with Snow White and Johnson here, he couldn't do much. Without the teleportation circle and the ability to move in a flash, there was no way he could escape.
Abel didn't want the enemy wizards above intermediate to escape. That would be a threat to his family and his duchy, but it seemed like that was no longer a problem.
Just as he relaxed his body and mind, there was a sudden tremor in the state of level-12, which had been at a bottleneck, and a strange aura of advancement was emitted from his body.
Only Abel dared to come out and fight in his full state. Normal wizards would either go into retreat in their magic towers or invite their most trusted friends to accompany them. No matter where they went, they would bring a mana gathering circle with them.
Abel knew he couldn't move as soon as the promotion qi emerged from his body. If he broke this state, he didn't know when the next promotion qi would appear.
It wasn't easy for him to get the promotion qi this time. He had just killed a rank 17 wizard and an intermediate wizard. The victory had relaxed his mind, and that was why the promotion qi was rising.
He used the last bit of his power of the will to let out the 8 spirit guardian Knight from his monster ring and gave a command, "Kill everyone!"
Afterward, he sat on the ground and let the Druil soul take care of everything.
It wasn't the first time the Druil soul had done this, so it used a strand of power of the will to set up a mana gathering circle around Abel.
It didn't take long before a mana environment was formed around him. It was an environment for leveling up.
After setting up the mana gathering circle, the Druil soul contacted the commander spirit and gave it the right to fight. The commander spirit was a powerful battle commander.
The commander spirit moved the battle fort 03 from the sky to the Assassins Guild Headquarters. Afterward, small war puppets began to jump down from the battle fort 03.
Each of them was holding a bursting crossbow. As soon as they landed, 200 small war puppets were completely under the commander spirit's control.
Two hundred miniature war golems formed groups of ten and entered the Assassin's Guild Headquarters in coordination with each other.
The Arch-knight Of Acton no longer had the arrogance in his eyes. He finally knew how powerful Abel was. Both Wizard Kilmer and Wizard Eliot had died in Abel's hands.
The Arch-knight Of Acton didn't have any thoughts of revenge. His power of the will wasn't too strong, but he sensed the promotion qi from Abel's direction.
This energy was very special, and it was similar to the energy that Wizard Elliot had when he was leveling up.
The Arch-knight Of Acton was in despair. Abel was going to level up at a time like this.
The Arch-knight Of Acton mumbled to himself, "My God, it seems like even the God doesn't want me to die. I will rebuild the Assassins Guild!"
He felt like he was the main character in a story. At the most critical moment, his enemies couldn't move, and Abel's summons should be protecting him.
While he was thinking, a heavy sound emerged. The Arch-knight Of Acton was stunned. He looked outside and saw 4 meters tall iron puppets holding giant crossbow-like weapons. They were marching into the Assassins Guild Headquarters in an orderly manner.
These iron puppets moved like real people. They were in groups of 10, and they entered the Assassins Guild Headquarters in batches. They broke down all the possible entrances and exits.
"Run!" There was only one thought in the mind of the Arch-knight Of Acton, which was to get as far away from these iron puppets as possible.
The screams of the workers continued. It was a massacre. No matter where the workers were hiding, these little war puppets would find them in no time.
Since the commander spirit's scan was always on, these little war puppets were perfectly controlled. They had become agile killing machines.
The Arch-knight Of Acton carefully retreated. He knew a secret room. It was his last hiding place. There were no magic circles there, only mechanisms.
It didn't matter if it worked or not. It was his last hope.
His luck was not bad. Although he heard screams from time to time, he miraculously arrived at the secret room. He opened the mechanism and walked in.
He closed the mechanism of the secret room again and opened another mechanism. This mechanism was a very thick steel plate on the door of the secret room.
This secret room was designed by him. He didn't tell anyone. It was one of his backup plans.
As an assassin, he was used to leaving an escape route for himself wherever he went.
He was not a wizard, so he could escape with a "move in a flash." If he had wizard Eliot's "move in a flash," he would have already used it.
The only thing he could do was to create a hidden hiding place that was sufficiently secure.
As the steel plate fell, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Now, he just hoped those iron puppets wouldn't find him.
Suddenly, a Knight in full armor appeared in front of him. This knight was wearing a helmet, so he couldn't see his face. However, those eyes made the Arch-knight Of Acton feel like he was facing the grim reaper.
Yes, the grim reaper. He couldn't sense any life force from it.
Where was this place? This was his secret room. How did this Knight get in?
Not only did the Knight come in, but the strange black wolf mount of the Knight also came in. All of a sudden, the Arch-knight Of Acton wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.
If it was a wizard who came in, he wouldn't be surprised. A wizard's "move in a flash" could ignore the steel plate and the door of the secret room. However, this was a Knight.
The Arch-knight Of Acton didn't know that the spirit wolf mount of Abel's spirit guardian Knight had the ability to flash. This ability was not any worse than a wizard's "move in a flash."
"Let's fight!" The Arch-knight Of Acton roared to give himself some courage. He took out a Knight's big sword and shield from his portal object and put on a combat qi armor.
Afterward, flames began to rise on his Knight's big sword, and his body was dyed red by his fire combat qi.
At the same time, a flash of blue light flashed on his shield. This was his ice combat qi strengthening his defense.
He was a dual attributed Knight. Even in the entire Holy Continent, he was one of the most powerful Knight commanders. He was one of the few dual attributed Knight commanders.
"Charge!" The Arch-knight Of Acton immediately unleashed a skill.
Although the spirit guardian Knight in front of him was not the most powerful captain of the spirit guardian Knights, it was still very experienced. As soon as the "charge" pattern flashed on the body of the Arch-knight Of Acton, its body disappeared from the spot.
The Arch-knight Of Acton's "charge" suddenly lost its target. Normally, no one would use a "charge" in a small space like this if they weren't 100% confident.
Since the target suddenly disappeared, the target of his "charge" became the wall behind the spirit guardian Knight.
The wall was made of the best steel that Head Commander Acton had found himself. His charge was made of the best steel material he could muster, so it was a direct hit.
The violent collision gave him a strong rebounding force. This time, the bones in his body were almost shattered. Blood was already flowing out of his mouth.
However, he didn't have time to check his injuries. His intuition told him that there was danger behind him, so he endured the pain and blocked with his shield.
"Dang!" The Knight's big sword was blocked, but what happened next was beyond the Arch-knight Of Acton's expectation.
Although the Knight's big sword was blocked, a dark golden light flashed on the Knight's big sword. Afterward, a surge of energy passed through his shield and directly into his body.
He felt a tearing pain in his body, and then a long wound appeared on his body. More blood poured out of the wound.
This was the forceful tearing effect of the "steel" rune sword in the spirit guardian Knight's hand. There was a 50% chance that it would explode on the first hit.
In the face of death, the Arch-knight Of Acton's potential was stimulated. He used his ice combat qi to forcefully seal the wound on his body. Then he turned around and leaned against the steel wall to fight the strange Knight in front of him.
The Arch-knight Of Acton discovered that the Knight he was fighting had a death energy. It was very similar to the power used by the top warriors of the Orc Empire.
"Are you an orc?" The Arch-knight Of Acton asked loudly.
He suspected that the Knight in front of him was an orc, but he didn't believe it. The hatred between Abel and the orcs was too strong. There was no way an orc Knight would help Abel.
Afterward, he discovered that the Knight in front of him was very experienced. It was almost like he was a human Knight that had been trained since he was young. On top of that, he was the kind of Knight that fought all year round.
Head Commander Acton continued to fight with the spirit guardian knights. He didn't dare to leave the wall behind him. He knew the spirit guardian knights had the ability to move in a flash. If he left the wall behind him, he would have to keep an eye on his back to make sure he wasn't being attacked.
The battle was still going on. The spirit guardian Knight couldn't do anything to the Arch-knight Of Acton, and the Arch-knight Of Acton couldn't do any damage to the spirit guardian Knight with his back against the steel wall.
Blood gushed out of the Arch-knight Of Acton again. After so many exchanges, his body was covered in wounds. The only reason he didn't explode was because of his frozen combat qi.
The spirit guardian Knight could wait, but the Arch-knight Of Acton couldn't. The wounds on the Arch-knight Of Acton could no longer be sealed. The frozen combat qi around his wounds could no longer be used to seal them.
His head was a little dizzy, his mouth was dry, and his eyes were blurry. He knew his life was coming to an end.
"My honor is my life!" He yelled out the Knight's charge spell. He ignited the charge rune with his remaining mana and rushed towards the spirit guardian Knight.
The spirit guardian Knight flashed again, but this time, the Arch-knight Of Acton didn't really use the charge spell. Instead, he wanted to trick the spirit guardian Knight into getting closer.
When the Arch-knight Of Acton sensed danger, he didn't use his shield. Instead, he merged his frozen combat qi with his fire combat qi. This was the last killing move of a fire and ice combat qi master Knight. It was also the last glory of his life.
The two types of Fire and Ice Dou Qi quickly fused, creating a strong and unstable energy. This energy reacted quickly.
The spirit guardian Knight had already stabbed the Arch-knight Of Acton. The Arch-knight Of Acton had a strange smile on his face as he grabbed the hand of the spirit guardian Knight that was holding the sword.
Although the spirit guardian Knight's hand emitted a terrifying death qi, and the 'steel' sword had already pierced through the body of the Arch-knight Of Acton, it did not stop the heart of the Arch-knight Of Acton.
He knew once he let go, the spirit guardian Knight would flash away, and his last strike would not be able to hurt the spirit guardian Knight.
Although he didn't know what the spirit guardian Knight was, he guessed it was one of Abel's most important fighters. If he could make Abel lose one of his most important fighters before he died, then his death would not be in vain.
Boom! The spirit guardian Knight had already placed its shield in front of its body. It made a standard Knight's shield move, covering all the important parts of its body.
However, the secret room was too small, and the Arch-knight Of Acton was grabbing its hand. It couldn't dodge the explosion of the 2 combat qi.
The spirit guardian knight was smashed into the steel wall. Large chunks of black tissue disappeared from its body. Many of its bones were shattered, and even its skull had a crack on it.
The Arch-knight Of Acton was in a worse state. The explosion started inside the Arch-knight Of Acton, and the Arch-knight Of Acton's body turned into a pile of flesh and blood.
What the Arch-knight Of Acton didn't see was that when the spirit guardian Knight was smashed into the steel wall and fell to the ground, a purple light flashed across the body of the spirit guardian Knight.
All the wounds on the spirit guardian Knight had disappeared. This was because the Druil soul had automatically used a bottle of 'full recovery potion' on the spirit guardian Knight.
If the Arch-knight Of Acton didn't die, he would die again. His death was not worth it. The spirit guardian Knight and its equipment were not damaged at all.
The spirit guardian Knight's equipment were all rune words, which were more powerful than magic equipment.
In the Assassin's Guild headquarters, the battle was still ongoing. Each of these staff members had their own fighting capabilities. Those who could work in the Assassin's Guild headquarters were not ordinary people. Most of them were intelligent Assassins, selected from all over the world.
However, they were not facing normal knights. Their opponents were spirit guardian knights and small war puppets. No matter which type of enemy they were facing, they would not be able to deal with them. Therefore, this battle had turned into a one-sided slaughter.
Abel had entered his leveling up mode. The ability given by the world stone fragment allowed him to draw the perfect rank 13 wizard rune. After half a day, he reached rank 13.
When the leveling up qi slowly disappeared from his body, his power of the will had increased to 360 points. The energy of the dragon crystal was still hidden in an unknown part of his body, so every time he leveled up, his power of the will would reach its peak.
Abel's leveling up speed was also because of this. All he needed to do was to keep gathering mana. He didn't need to worry about his power of the will.
Other Magi, on the other hand, had to consider whether or not their Spirit had met the requirements for advancement while meditating to increase their magic power. They had to use various methods to increase their Spirit.
Abel stood up and put away the mana gathering circle beside him. He realized there were 200 small war puppets and 8 spirit guardian Knight standing in a neat formation beside him.
He extended his power of the will outwards. There were no signs of life within the range of his power of the will.
"Commander spirit, put the small war puppets back into the battle fort!" Abel commanded.
"Yes, headmaster majesty!" As the commander spirit replied, the hidden battle fort 03 appeared from the sky. It slowly descended until it was 10 meters above the ground.
Afterward, the small war puppets jumped onto the battle fort 03 from the ground and threw themselves inside.
Abel also put away his spirit guardian Knight. If he didn't have the leveling up qi, he wouldn't have let his spirit guardian Knight out to fight.
It was best not to expose his deity spells. Although he was getting more and more powerful in the Holy Continent, he still needed to carefully guard his secrets.
As soon as he walked into the Assassins Guild Headquarters, he saw a pile of bloody corpses. They were the staff members of the Assassins Guild who had been shot by the ballista.
The ballista used large-sized bolts. At this close range, the final result would be horrifying. It would be a miracle to leave a whole body intact.
The commander spirit was very serious. It had already taken back all the bolts from the corpses. It was probably a rough job, so the corpses were even more broken.
As he continued to walk, he found more corpses that were killed by the spirit guardian Knight. Those corpses were all dried up as if their life force had been sucked out.
This was the effect of death qi. This was why he didn't want his spirit guardian Knight to appear in the Holy Continent too often. Its attack was just like the attack of a top level orc warrior. It was too easy to misunderstand.
Abel gently tapped on the spell pattern in his hand, and fireballs were thrown out on those dried up corpses. Although this was the lowest level fire spell, it was still very useful in destroying corpses.
His target was the basement of the Assassins Guild Headquarters. As he walked, he cleaned up all traces of the spirit guardian Knight.
At the bottom of a ladder, a protection circle automatically opened, and he walked in.
When the commander spirit controlled the Assassin's Spirit, it had ordered the Assassin's Spirit to lock down the basement. This was to protect the Assassin's Spirit from being destroyed by the Assassins Guild.
One by one, the Assassin's Spirit's magic circles automatically closed, and one by one, the mechanisms opened. Abel walked into the room where the Assassin's Spirit was stored.
Since he had opened too many magic circles, he realized that other than a top-level gemstone, all the other intermediate gemstones had turned into useless pieces when he walked into the room.
In the center of the room, there was a cylindrical blue glowing object on top of a magic circle board. This was the Assassin's Spirit, the spirit that controlled all the assassins in the Holy Continent.
"Master, the Assassin's Spirit is at your service!" A mechanical voice emerged from the sound transmission circle on the wall of the room.
"Assassin's Spirit, help me find out who made the order to assassinate Abel!" This was what Abel cared about the most. He had already destroyed the entire Assassins Guild for this information.
"Yes, master!" Assassin's Spirit replied and quickly continued, "The order to assassinate Abel, serial number: 47323743, made by Ambrose!"
"Ambrose? The emperor of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, Ambrose? "Abel couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, master!" Assassin's Spirit replied.
Assassin's Spirit's answer surprised Abel. In the human world of the Holy Continent, only the Kingdom of Saint Ellis had a good relationship with him. Although he didn't have much contact with the emperor of Ambrose, Prince Derek had a lot of contact with him.
His title of Duke was given to him by the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. Even the land in the Duchy of Carmel was given to him by the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. He had cooperated with the Kingdom of Saint Ellis many times.
In order for the Kingdom of Saint Ellis to send out troops to stabilize the human world, Abel had also provided large amounts of food to the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
No matter how you looked at it, the cooperation between Abel and the Kingdom of Saint Ellis was more than conflict. Why would the emperor of Ambrose make such an order to the Assassins Guild?
It was easy to understand. Abel's rise was too fast. It was so fast that many people didn't know what to do, especially the powerful kingdoms.
If Abel had always been a wizard or a Grandmaster Blacksmith, it wouldn't matter how big his influence was. However, the situation changed after he gained a huge amount of glory in the battle with the orcs outside of Miracle City.
If a true hero became a king, would that be the beginning of a legend?
The predecessors of the Three Great Empires were led by powerful heroes before they began to rise.
It was because of his understanding of history and fear of Abel's influence that the emperor of Ambrose wanted to get rid of Abel.
Of course, the emperor of Ambrose couldn't use the power of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis to do this. If the Wizard Union, Blacksmith's Guild, or the dwarfs found out, it would be very bad for the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
The Assassins Guild was the best choice. In the Holy Continent, the Assassins Guild was spread all over the Holy Continent. One of the main reasons was because of demand.
All the important figures needed a blade that they could use without worry. Although this blade was not in their hands, they could use it to do things that were inconvenient for them.
The Assassins Guild was such a blade. From countless years of experience, even if the Assassins Guild couldn't complete a mission, they could still guarantee the confidentiality of their mission.
It was also for this reason that countless important figures handed their targets over to the Assassin Guild for them to end.
The emperor of Ambrose's intention was very simple. It would be best if they succeeded, but it didn't matter if they didn't. To him, this was just a backup plan.
However, he never expected that he had underestimated Abel's influence. Abel's announcement was enough to make the powerful Assassins Guild lose all their mission points in a short period of time.
What was even more unexpected was that the Assassins Guild's headquarter was already in the hands of Abel. Although no member of the Assassins Guild leaked the mission he gave out, the Assassin's Spirit of the Assassins Guild belonged to Abel.
A cold light flashed in Abel's eyes. He never expected the Kingdom of Saint Ellis to treat him like this. In his heart, he had already treated the Kingdom of Saint Ellis as an enemy.
If Abel was a professional politician, he wouldn't be thinking like this. There were always conflicts between duchies and kingdoms. All kinds of methods would be used, and assassination was just one of them.
It was normal for politicians to attack each other. However, Abel was not a politician. He had been a politician for too long, and he didn't put in the effort to be one. His starting point was too high, so high that no one could teach him how to be a politician.
When he first owned his territory, he was a count. His territory was Harvest City. Although Harvest City belonged to the Duchy of Carmel, because of the tension between him and the Duchy of Carmel's royal family, all the nobles in the Duchy of Carmel had left Harvest City.
Because of this, when he took over Harvest City, it was a blank slate. This also meant that he didn't need to use the methods of a politician to build Harvest City.
He didn't need to get along with the Duchy of Carmel's royal family, and he didn't need to compromise with the nobles in Harvest City. This meant that he didn't have any experience as a politician.
Not long after, he became a king. This meant that he didn't have the basic knowledge of being a politician.
In the end, it was because Family Harry and Family Bennett in Harvest City were too weak. They didn't have any inheritance related to being a politician.
If Abel grew up in Family Harry in Bakong City, things would be completely different.
He didn't have the mentality of a politician, so he couldn't tolerate the actions of Emperor Ambrose of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. Although this was just one of the many methods that Emperor Ambrose used, maybe Emperor Ambrose thought it was normal.
Abel put down the anger in his heart. Now was not the time to think about how to deal with the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. There was still a magic tower waiting for him on the other side.
His figure disappeared from the room of the Assassin's Spirit in the basement. After a few flashes, he was outside the seventeenth floor magic tower.
Since the owner had died, Wizard Kilmer's magic tower no longer had the glow of the magic circle. The huge scars on the tower showed how fierce the battle was.
Abel came to the door of the magic tower and used his power of the will to take out an identity card from the portal bag on Wizard Kilmer's body.
After the death of a wizard, the magic tower would automatically shut down. Although the magic circles on the outside were all shut down, a large number of defensive circles would be activated inside. If a wizard didn't have the identity card of the owner, they wouldn't be able to use their power of the will to check the situation inside the magic tower.
Abel had the identity card, so it was very easy for him to enter Wizard Kilmer's magic tower. He put the identity card in his hand on the door, and the magic tower door opened by itself.
