It wasn't that the Elder Ancestor didn't want to use a faster low-level spell, but looking at Johnson's divine equipment set, he knew that without a powerful spell, he wouldn't be able to break through Johnson's defense.
The current situation was that Johnson's speed was too fast, so fast that the Patriarch couldn't use a complete spell to attack Johnson.
On the ground, Johnson and the old ancestor were caught in a chase. Johnson obeyed his master's orders and used his speed to keep an eye on the old ancestor. No matter how fast the old ancestor's "instantaneous movement" was, he couldn't get rid of Johnson quickly.
Slowly, the old man and Johnson left the battlefield and went further away. Abel didn't pay attention to them. With Blue Dragon Emmanuel's promise, Abel wasn't worried about the old man running away.
Abel was facing 50 intermediate wizards. As soon as the battle began, the spirit guardian Knight shocked them.
Some of them recognized the spirit guardian knight's mount as a spirit wolf. The Knight on its back was wrapped in the same material as the spirit wolf. Although they didn't know what it was, they guessed it was a half-dead creature related to the spirit wolf.
They didn't expect the spirit guardian Knight to be an orc deity's skeleton. The spirit wolf was an elven Druil's summon beast, so it was a far cry from an orc deity.
If there was an orc deity here, they might be able to guess the true identity of the spirit guardian Knight.
The spirit guardian Knight's flash caught the intermediate wizards off guard. A few of them were hit, but their defense couldn't be broken by the spirit guardian Knight in one hit.
Other than the 3 unlucky intermediate wizards, the rest of them were not hurt at all. They were cut open by the 50% tearing effect of the spirit guardian knight's steel sword.
At the same time, the 50 intermediate wizards began to move in a flash while casting spells to attack the spirit guardian Knight.
"Ice storm," "fireball," "firewall," "new star," and other spells were flying around the battlefield. The spirit guardian Knight kept flashing, trying to hit the intermediate wizards.
But the intermediate wizards were prepared. They would never let the spirit guardian Knight get close. The weakness of the spirit guardian Knight was exposed.
Although the spirit guardian Knight had the ability to flash, it couldn't do much against Abel's enemies.
Just like on the battlefield, the spirit guardian knights did not have the ability to kill in one hit. Although they had powerful rune word steel swords, they could only cause some lacerations. They could not kill.
The intermediate wizards had more ways to attack. Under all kinds of spells, the spirit guardian Knight could only try its best to dodge. It had no ability to attack.
Of course, this had to do with the fact that there were 50 intermediate wizards, but Abel didn't let the spirit guardian Knight deal with them alone.
Snow White spat out a cloud of icy mist and covered the ground. 2 intermediate wizards didn't have time to react. Although they had the protection of the broken ice armor, they were still slowed down by the icy mist.
Being slowed down in front of White Snow, the only outcome that awaited them was to be frozen into icicles by White Snow's mouth. Then, after being scratched twice by White Snow's sharp claws, they were turned into ice shards.
Flying Flame came again. It was more simple and violent. It suddenly unleashed a powerful dragon energy. Of course, it was only unleashed in a small area, but it was enough to make the intermediate wizards pause for a moment.
Afterward, a series of white fireballs flew out. Abel didn't stay idle. Since his safety was guaranteed, he no longer prepared to move in a flash with his left hand. Instead, he lit up the "chain of lightning" spell pattern on both of his hands.
The rank 22 "chain of lightning" could chain up to 9 targets at once. With 2 strikes, 18 intermediate wizards were hit. Flying Flame's white fireballs also directly turned 5 intermediate wizards into ashes.
18 intermediate wizards were hit by the "chain of lightning" and were heavily injured at the same time. However, that was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was the numbing effect that followed.
Abel didn't hold back. His "chain of lightning" didn't stop. Afterward, 2 more strikes struck those intermediate wizards, and they became charred black on the ground.
In a short period of time, half of the intermediate wizards of the kingdom were killed. The rest of them lost their will to fight.
"Run!" With a yell, the twenty intermediate wizards scattered in all directions like birds and beasts.
Although the "move in a flash" was fast, Flying Flame's speed was not slow either. Most importantly, as soon as Flying Flame unleashed its dragon energy, the intermediate wizards of the kingdom would be suppressed and stopped for a moment.
That pause was fatal. No matter if it was Flying Flame's attack or Abel's spell, none of the intermediate wizards of the kingdom could block it.
The battle ended very quickly. In the end, less than 10 intermediate wizards managed to escape, and that was with Abel holding back.
Afterward, Abel put the spoils of war into his Valaya's ring and connected with Johnson through the soul chain. Johnson's location immediately appeared in his mind.
Flying Flame immediately turned around. When it was about to fly away, Blue Dragon Emmanuel was already standing on its back. It was right behind Abel.
"I'm too lazy to fly. This human form is too slow. Let's go somewhere else!" Blue Dragon Emmanuel said with a smile.
Flying Flame didn't have the courage to say no to Blue Dragon Emmanuel, so it could only fly forward as fast as it could.
Soon, Abel saw the old man and Johnson fighting in a forest. Maybe the old man thought Johnson's giant body would be restricted in the forest, so he chose to fight here.
However, Johnson's body was so agile that the old man couldn't believe it. It would only come in contact with the trees when it couldn't pass through, and the trees would be smashed into pieces.
The forest did not affect Johnson's speed much. Instead, it affected the old man's spells.
Many direct attack spells couldn't be used because of the influence of the trees.
Abel was not qualified to participate in a battle like this. He couldn't use spells because his wizard crystal body was suppressed again.
Flying Flame was the first to arrive because of its speed. Snow White was too slow, and the other spirit guardian Knights were put away by Abel. They were not qualified to participate in the battle.
Flying Flame did not use its best spell to attack the white fireball. Instead, it turned into a beam of black light and clawed at the old man.
The old man spread his power of the will around his body. As soon as Flying Flame appeared, he sensed it. He did not use any attack spells. Instead, he drew a "move in a flash" spell pattern with both of his hands, and his speed increased.
He flashed away from Flying Flame's attack and flashed away a second time to dodge Johnson's attack. At the same time, Flying Flame flew towards him again.
Abel and Blue Dragon Emmanuel were watching the battle from the back of Flying Flame like they were spectators. Abel was very impressed.
The old man was very powerful, but the scariest thing was his spellcasting rhythm. No matter if it was Flying Flame or Johnson's attack, he could still move in a flash with ease. He was not nervous at all.
This was a battle instinct that was ingrained in his bones. Flying Flame was the fastest in the world, but the old man was only using one hand to dodge Flying Flame's attack.
The old man said to Abel as he flashed away, "Guru Abel, how about we stop here? I'll bring Emperor Ambrose to you and let you do whatever you want with him!"
Abel lowered his voice, "How can I rest easy if you don't die?"
The old man's eyes flashed coldly, "Alright, alright. I'll go to the duchy of Carmel now. I'll kill everyone I see. Let's see who can stop me!"
Just as he was shouting, Qiangsen had already rushed to his side. Because he was distracted, and of course, because he had truly entered the rhythm, he had always thought that Qiangsen's fighting ability was limited to this.
However, when Johnson was halfway there, Flying Flame threw out a white fireball towards the old man. The old man quickly flashed away. His rhythm was already messed up, but he was not worried. Johnson was still a safe distance away from him.
However, this time was different. Johnson's lightning spear flashed, and a bolt of lightning shot out.
They had been fighting for half a day, but Johnson had never shown this ability of the lightning spear. It only had 10 "lightning" spells, so it knew very well that once this powerful wizard knew about the "lightning" spell in the lightning spear, the old man would not be able to hit him.
Due to Abel's distraction and Flying Flame's sudden white fireball attack, Johnson had a chance to attack from afar.
The speed of the 'lightning' was just as its name suggested. As the lightning spear flashed, the 'lightning' struck the patriarch's body.
The old man had been the guardian of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis for countless years. His status was like a king, and he had too many treasures in his hands. Although this level 20 lightning was powerful, the old man's defensive magic shield had already been broken, and the power of the lightning spell had decreased a lot.
However, he was still paralyzed. Just when Abel thought the battle was about to end, the old man's body turned into a flash of white light and disappeared from the spot.
"Damn, that's a move in a flash scroll!" Abel cursed. It was such a good opportunity, but the old man still managed to escape.
If it was a normal wizard, once their body was paralyzed, their spirit would also be paralyzed for a moment. However, a powerful wizard with a strong spirit could completely resist the paralysis effect of the 'lightning'.
When a wizard like that was hit by the lightning spell, their body would only be paralyzed. They could still use their power of the will to use the scroll.
"Abel, I will make you regret this. I will raze Harry Castle to the ground!" The old man no longer cared about anything else. He no longer cared about the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. He only wanted to make Abel regret this.
He had been running wild in the Holy Continent for many years, and he had never encountered a situation like this before. He was almost killed by 2 summons, so he wanted to go to Harry Castle. He had an appointment with 3 rank 17 elite wizards, and he wanted to meet them there.
He believed those 3 rank 17 wizards would be enough to control Harry Castle. As long as he could capture Abel's foster father, he could easily escape from Johnson and Flying Flame's attacks.
He never thought there would be a day when his "move in a flash" could not help him escape. He was just talking tough, but he was also thinking about how to save his life. A person's energy was limited. If he kept chasing like this, he would run out of energy in 2 or 3 days.
He did not believe that his vigor could compare to a Steel Giant and a Wyrm Whelp. As long as his vigor could not keep up, the only outcome that awaited him was death.
He did not want to die, so he had to go to Harry Castle. That was his last hope.
"Abel, do you need me to help?" Blue Dragon Emmanuel whispered behind Abel.
"Don't worry, I want him to go to Harry Castle!" Abel whispered back.
It was not the most dangerous moment yet. He would be worried if the old man wanted to go to Harry Castle, but ever since Babala moved in, that place had become a wizard's nightmare.
Abel sat on Flying Flame's back. After a few hours, he finally understood why there was a saying in the Holy Continent. A wizard who could move in a flash was a real wizard.
He also realized how hard it was to stop a wizard who could move in a flash if he wanted to escape.
In the past, when he killed those wizards who could move in a flash, it wasn't because the spell was bad. It was because the wizards who used the spell were too weak.
Although the old man almost got killed, Flying Flame's speed and Johnson's "lightning" could not stop him at all.
His "move in a flash" was truly instantaneous. With the combination of his "move in a flash" spell and the "move in a flash" scroll, he was able to maintain a stable distance from Flying Flame and Johnson.
Of course, Flying Flame and Qiangsen didn't let the old ancestor pull away from each other. Flying Flame was the fastest in the sky, and Qiangsen didn't care about anything on the ground. If it couldn't, it would just shatter it.
The most pitiful one was White Snow. Because it didn't have the 'super fast' ability, it was left far behind. If it wasn't for the fact that the soul chain could help it find its master, it wouldn't have been able to continue chasing.
The old man was not having it easy either. He had not exercised like this for many years. He had enjoyed the support of countless kingdoms, and he was no longer the powerful wizard he used to be.
His breathing was already very rapid. Fortunately, the consumption of the 'move in a flash' spell decreased with the level of the spell. This allowed him to maintain his mana for a very long time without using any offensive spells.
He had already seen the wheat fields, and the growth of the wheat here was beyond his imagination. However, he had no time to explore the mysteries of this place.
Harry Castle had already received Abel's warning, so everyone in the castle had gone to the basement. There were all kinds of protection circles there, so there was no problem.
Inside the wizard circle, all the wizards had returned to their magic towers. Tower spirit Flora had taken over all the defense.
"Abel, I'm here. I told you you'll regret this!" The old man laughed and flashed into Harry Castle.
But soon, he stopped laughing. He saw his 3 rank 17 wizards, who could do whatever they wanted in the Holy Continent, being tied up by countless roots like prisoners.
"Trap!" When the old ancestor thought of this, the 'instantaneous movement' spell pattern in his hand began to flicker almost instinctively. However, the spell pattern didn't activate after he injected his mana into it.
"Forbidden magic!" The old man realized what was going on.
He knew that there was a magic suppression circle, but only an idiot would enter a magic suppression circle. Otherwise, no wizard would enter a magic suppression circle with such a strong sense of danger.
He quickly eliminated the possibility of a forbidden magic circle in his mind, but he couldn't think of any other reason. Forbidden magic was a powerful effect against wizards. He had never heard of any forbidden magic other than a forbidden magic circle.
While he was still thinking, tens of thin roots appeared under his feet and covered him like a giant net.
The old man's power of the will quickly flashed in his portal bag, and a few bottles of potion appeared in his mouth. He bit down hard and swallowed the potion along with the blood in his mouth. There were also a lot of crystal fragments in his mouth.
He couldn't care less. If the roots weren't so fast, he would've poured the potion into his mouth one by one. This was the only way he could use the potion quickly.
In a flash, his stamina, strength, and dexterity all skyrocketed. Afterward, a magic Knight sword and a magic shield appeared in his hand.
The old man was like a Knight with the shield in front of him and the magic Knight sword ready to strike at any time.
Abel watched the old man's movements from the sky and commented in his mind.
"Abel, is this the guardian you brought back from the ancient sight?" Blue Dragon Emmanuel looked at the roots on the ground and asked.
He could clearly sense that the roots had a strange domain power. Judging from the old man's reaction, he knew it was a forbidden magic circle.
This was a terrifying domain ability. It had to be known that no matter which race it was, being able to use elemental attacks was their strongest means. However, this Guardian could prohibit elemental attacks. This made any life form's strength decrease greatly in this domain.
"It's Barbara. It's actually very friendly!" Abel smiled and introduced.
However, neither Blue Dragon Emmanuel nor the old ancestor on the ground felt any friendliness from Baba.
The old man's magic Knight sword slashed down with a standard Knight's movement. Even Abel's "steel" sword with combat qi couldn't hurt the roots, let alone the old man.
The old man felt like his magic Knight sword had hit a giant rock. His hand was in pain and numbness, and the magic Knight sword flew out of his hand.
Abel reached out with his power of the Will. He didn't cast a spell. He just used his power of the Will to forcefully grab the magic Knight sword.
"Damn it, attacking me with my knight's big sword!" Abel cursed when he saw the familiar mark on the knight's big sword in his hand.
The Knight's Greatsword in his hand was a Knight's Greatsword that he had personally forged. Furthermore, it was a high-quality Knight's Greatsword that was made from a very small amount of Fine Iron. However, thinking about the Old Ancestor's identity, even though this Knight's Greatsword was precious, it was still possible for him to obtain it.
Still, he felt disgusted. It was hard for him to accept the fact that someone was attacking him with a weapon that he made himself.
On the ground, the Old Ancestor was already tied up by the roots. His entire body's magic power was sealed. The shield was thrown to the ground, useless.
Now, the only part of the ancestor that could move was his eyes. The rest of his body had been completely tied up.
Abel and Blue Dragon Emmanuel jumped down from Flying Flame's back, "Barbara, good job!"
A thin root reached out from the ground and rubbed against Abel. It seemed like it really liked Abel's compliment.
Abel didn't look at the old man. Instead, he looked at the 3 rank 17 wizards. He had never seen them before, and they didn't look familiar.
This wasn't strange. Most adepts would train in their own magic towers and rarely participate in events like this.
"Mr. Wizards, I don't think the Duchy of Carmel is an enemy of the 3 of you. The Wizard Union has made it clear that advanced wizards are not allowed to get involved in the conflicts of the common world. Why are you helping the Kingdom of Saint Ellis to assassinate my friends and family?" Abel's voice was calm at first, but as his voice got louder and louder, the temperature around him dropped.
Threatening his family was something he hated the most. Even when he was not powerful enough, he did something like blowing up the Duchy of Keyen's wizard circle when they sent wizards to attack Harry Castle.
The 3 rank 17 wizards' eyes flashed. They wanted to say something, but they were tied up so tightly that even talking was a luxury.
If Babala didn't have a large amount of perfect gemstones as food, those 3 rank 17 wizards would've been dead before Abel even came back. They would've been dried corpses with all their energy sucked out.
"Barbara, let them talk!" Abel waved his hand and said.
The roots around the mouth of the 3 rank 17 wizards were loosened, but the rest of their bodies were still tightly bound.
"The prestigious Guru Abel, please forgive us. I, Dyna, am willing to compensate you for your loss. I'm willing to give you all the wealth in my magic tower!" An advanced wizard called Dyna said first.
"The prestigious Guru Abel, please forgive us!" The other 2 wizards also begged.
It wasn't easy for them to reach this point. The longer they lived, the more afraid they were of death. Especially when they were caught in the beginning, they thought of dying. But as they were tied up for a long time, their desire to live grew stronger.
However, they couldn't communicate with the plants that bound them. Even begging had become a luxury.
Now that Abel was here, and the Old Ancestor was captured, they wanted to beg for mercy even more. They wanted to live. "I was going to kill you directly, but you are all elites of the human race. Without you, the power of the human race will be greatly reduced, so …" Abel paused for a moment, and the 3 rank 17 wizards looked at him with hope in their eyes.
"So your only chance of survival is to give me a strand of your soul. You will become the guardian wizards of the Duchy of Carmel!" Abel continued.
"No, Guru Abel, you can't do this. We can give you enough ransom, but you can't do this!" Although they couldn't struggle, Wizard Dyna still begged loudly.
Abel didn't look at the 3 elite wizards anymore. Handing over a strand of soul was a way to control them. He could use it to make a soul card, and he could control the life and death of the soul owner.
The 3 elite wizards needed some time to think about this, so Abel didn't ask them to make a decision right away.
Abel turned around and looked at the old man with a cold smile on his face. He gently waved his hand, and the roots around the old man's mouth moved away.
"The prestigious Guru Abel, I can give you my soul. I will listen to you from now on!" The old man quickly yelled as soon as the roots moved away.
Abel looked at the old man speechlessly. He never heard that the guardian wizards of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis were rank 18 wizards. Rank 18 wizards were already the most powerful wizards in the Holy Continent.
However, the most powerful wizards wouldn't stay in the Holy Continent. They would've used the super teleportation circle to leave the Holy Continent and go to other continents.
Wizard Dunn was also a rank 18 wizard, but he had participated in countless battles on other continents. He came back to the Holy Continent because of his old age. With Abel's help, he became a rank 18 wizard after drinking some synthesized red wine.
Wizard Dunn could stay in the Holy Continent with no regrets, but the old man was different. The old man was so powerful, but he hid his power so he could stay in the Holy Continent and enjoy the worship of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
The reason why Abel gave those 3 rank 17 wizards a chance was because if he killed them, the Holy Continent would lose 3 rank 17 wizards, which would decrease the human's influence in the Holy Continent.
However, the old man was different. He was the guardian wizard of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, and the royal family of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis were the descendants of the old man. Also, the old man's power was useless to the Holy Continent.
Abel didn't want to keep a wizard like the old man who hid his power and didn't want to come out in times of need. He was willing to go against the Wizard Union's orders and do whatever he wanted for his own benefit.
"I don't like you. Also, I need to let the Holy Continent know that I, the Duchy of Carmel, am not to be messed with!" Abel said in a deep voice as he looked at the Patriarch, who had a pleading look in his eyes, but also hid a deeper hatred.
"Guru Abel, forgive me. I can do anything for you. I can give the Kingdom of Saint Ellis to you, please!" The old man screamed with tears in his eyes. If it wasn't for the deep hatred in his heart, it would have been perfect.
He didn't know that under Barbara's suppression, he couldn't hide his thoughts at all. It was the hatred in his heart that made Abel even more determined.
"Barbara, I'll leave him to you. Don't break anything on him!" Abel shook his head and said to Barbara.
"Abel, I have countless riches. Only I can find them. As long as you don't kill me, I'll give them all to you!" The old man's body was wrapped up by Barbara. He screamed crazily, but when he saw Abel didn't do anything, he cursed, "Abel, you will regret this. The Kingdom of Saint Ellis is not as simple as you think. You will regret this!"
However, his voice soon disappeared. Barbara had sealed his mouth, and he couldn't speak anymore.
At the same time, his body was also rapidly shrinking. Smaller roots extended out from the roots that bound him. These roots pierced into his body, and all the energy in his body was sucked into Barbara's body.
Barbara was a good kid. It was never picky. If it wasn't for Abel's order, the old man's magic robe and magic items would have all been sucked dry.
Abel purposely let Barbara suck the old man dry on the ground to provoke the 3 rank 17 wizards. He needed elite wizards to work for him. The Duchy of Carmel was already very powerful, but they didn't have a single elite wizard.
Elite wizards were the foundation of the kingdom. Now that the Kingdom of Saint Ellis had been defeated, it was time to take over the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. Those 3 rank 17 wizards were the best foundation.
Barbara knew what Abel was thinking. When the last bit of life disappeared from the old man's eyes, Barbara loosened its roots and gently pulled. The old man's clothes and equipment fell to the ground.
Just like that, the old ancestor fell to the ground naked. Then, a white 'soul light' rose from the old ancestor's head, and a pillar of light soared into the sky.
Finally, the old man maintained his last bit of dignity. He used the soul beam to say goodbye to the world and let the world know that a powerful elite wizard had died in Harry Castle.
