Viscount Ebenezer called out loudly from outside the door, "Good news, Master Wizard Abel. We've found the place you're looking for!"
Abel was a little confused. Viscount Ebenezer was supposed to be a noble with a long history. Why would he do something so disrespectful?
He just assumed that Viscount Ebenezer was trying too hard to befriend him, so he didn't think too much about it.
"Thank you so much, Viscount Ebenezer. When can I see the place?" Abel didn't want to live under someone else's roof. He couldn't even set up a mana gathering circle here, so he asked.
"If you're free, we can set off right away!" Viscount Ebenezer said with a smile.
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Abel bowed and said.
He didn't see the dark look in Viscount Ebenezer's eyes when he bowed.
It was still the same carriage, and Abel and Viscount Ebenezer sat inside. The carriage began to move, but Abel soon noticed that there wasn't a single minotaur guard beside the carriage, which made him feel very strange.
He'd noticed that Viscount Ebenezer would always bring minotaur guards with him whenever he went out. Could it be that he was confident in Abel's strength?
Abel looked in the direction of the carriage and asked curiously, "Where is the house, Viscount Ebenezer?"
He wasn't familiar with Annual City, but he knew the direction of the carriage and the city gate in front of it. They were going out of the city.
Viscount Ebenezer smiled, "You're in luck, Master Wizard Abel. One of our barons is about to sell his castle, so I immediately thought of you!"
Abel couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't know about a baron's castle in the Central Continent, but it was basically impossible to buy one in the Holy Continent.
A castle was the foundation of a family. Even if a family was in decline, they would still sell the houses in the city first. Castles, on the other hand, were an important source of wealth for nobles.
Unless a noble was at the end of their rope, no noble would sell their castle.
He needed a house, and a castle just happened to appear. It was too much of a coincidence!
Abel glanced at Ebenezer. He noticed that the city lord was sweating despite the late autumn weather, which meant that he was very nervous.
Although Viscount Ebenezer appeared to be very calm on the surface, he was sweating nervously and his racing heartbeat was completely exposed under Abel's scrutiny.
"Who on earth wants to harm me?" Abel couldn't help but wonder. He had only been in the Central Continent for a few hours. How could someone find him so quickly?
As for Viscount Ebenezer, he knew that as long as it was an advanced adept that could stand up to him, this noble city lord would not dare to refuse any of their requests.
It was inevitable that Viscount Ebenezer would be tricked into going outside the city. Advanced wizards would not be able to fight with their full power inside the city, and the Wizard Union would not be able to accept the impact of large-scale civilian casualties. At the same time, Viscount Ebenezer would not allow such a battle to happen inside the city, even if he had to use the defensive circle to stop it.
Abel didn't expose Ebenezer's lie. He wanted to see who would use such a method to find him.
"Thank you very much, Viscount Ebenezer!" Abel said. He gently reached out his power of the Will and touched Viscount Ebenezer's mind. Immediately, Viscount Ebenezer's eyes lost their light.
Afterward, he scanned Valaya's ring with his power of the Will, and a cloak appeared on his body.
It was his stabilizing cloak. He didn't know what it was made of, but he had seen many divine objects in this world. He guessed that it was a cloak that was once used by a god.
As the Invisibility Cloak appeared on his body, his figure suddenly disappeared. Then, he grabbed the floor of the carriage and pulled it apart with a slight force, revealing the road underneath the carriage.
Abel didn't use any spells. Ever since the carriage left the city gate, he could feel that someone was watching it. It was probably because they were afraid that he would notice, so they didn't use their power of the Will.
Even though his figure would still appear when he moved, when he landed from the carriage, under the cover of the carriage, he was completely invisible.
He just stood in the middle of the road and watched the carriage move forward. At the same time, he discovered the source of the gaze.
It was a wizard in a robe behind a tree. Although he was more than 500 meters away from Abel, he could still see the wizard badge on his chest. He was a rank 17 wizard.
Abel's face sank. He didn't understand why he had an enemy who had just arrived and was waiting for him to jump into a trap.
The rank 17 wizard in a robe took out a communication card and whispered to someone.
Ever since Abel obtained the world stone fragment, his 5 senses had been strengthened. Also, after practicing the blue dragon "ice crystal breathing technique," his 5 senses had become even stronger. That was why he could see the badge on the wizard's chest from 500 meters away.
Although the wizard's voice was very soft, he could still vaguely hear some of it.
"Vice-captain, Abel's carriage has left the city gate!" The wizard said.
"Little 5, be careful not to let him see you!" The wizard replied.
"Vice-captain, don't worry. He's a rank 16 wizard, and he's still a kid. I won't let him see me!" The wizard promised.
The elite wizard put down his communication card and flashed towards the carriage.
Just when the wizard flashed, Abel did the same. Since the wizard's body would be affected by space for a moment, he wouldn't be able to sense anything outside.
Abel used this method to evade the advanced wizard's senses. Abel's "instantaneous movement" speed was very fast. Even if the advanced wizard drew the "instantaneous movement" pattern first, he could still instantaneously move with the advanced wizard as soon as the advanced wizard ignited it.
Also, he had the mysterious headband of the invisible cloak to double his power of the will. Therefore, when the wizard flashed, Abel was already 100 meters away from him.
This was because Abel couldn't accurately predict where the wizard would land. Otherwise, with the help of the mysterious headband, even if he was 500 meters away, he could still directly approach the wizard.
However, after the advanced wizard used the "instantaneous movement," Abel ignited the data analysis ability of the world stone fragment in his brain. His druid soul was also at full power, and he quickly began to analyze the situation based on the "instantaneous movement" of the advanced wizard.
The carriage continued to move forward. The wizard's second flashing was about to be activated, so Abel didn't have much time to analyze.
Every wizard had a habit of using 'instantaneous movement', especially when they were not in battle. They would instinctively use the method they were most used to.
Although the advanced wizards had only moved in a flash once, Abel's world stone fragment and druid soul were able to identify three possible teleportation points very quickly.
Since elite wizards needed to be at least 500 meters away from the carriage before they could use the "instantaneous movement," Abel locked the teleportation point behind a big tree. He also needed to be discreet, and he was used to it.
At this moment, the wizard began to flash again. At the same time, Abel did the same. Under the invisible cloak, the white light of the flashing did not appear.
The elite wizard appeared from behind the big tree, and Abel appeared behind him just as he expected.
Abel quickly reached out his hand, and a shield appeared in his hand. He directly struck down on the wizard's neck. The wizard's reaction was fast. He had already reacted and blocked the attack with his magic staff.
The elite wizard did not expect his "move in a flash" to appear in front of someone. He could swear that there was no one there when he flashed here.
His magic staff did not block Abel's shield attack. At the same time, he saw a shadow appear out of nowhere and hit him with a shield.
A shield appeared on the wizard's body. However, with Abel's strength, the shield was broken in an instant. A second shield appeared on the wizard's body. 2 passive defensive magic items were activated.
The second shield was also broken in less than half a second. Since it was a physical attack, the power of this strike was far beyond the power of any Knight in the Holy Continent.
Abel's power was far beyond the limit of a human, and his body was slowly growing towards the power of a giant dragon.
Still, the elite wizard had enough time to react. He reached his power of the will into his portal bag and grabbed a 'move in a flash' scroll to activate it.
However, Abel's shield was not a simple physical attack. A white light flashed on his shield, and a "shield bash" rune flew out from the shield and struck the advanced wizard.
As soon as the elite wizard's power of the will came in contact with the 'move in a flash' scroll, he was stunned for more than 2 seconds. In front of a double attributed head commander and a rank 16 wizard, it was enough to break through all of his defenses.
Abel had been observing his surroundings with his power of the will. Since he was on the side of a road, and there were no passersby on the road, the wizard had chosen a very secretive spot. Therefore, he was confident enough to use a Knight's shield strike.
After using this skill, he did not want to let the wizard live. He knew the status of a Knight in the Central Continent.
He reached out his hand and took off the advanced wizard's magic staff, portal bag, and the two passive defensive magic items hanging on his waist like ornaments.
Afterward, Abel used his strength to break the wizard's arms and legs. Afterward, he gently tapped on the wizard's head. Although it wasn't a heavy blow, his power of the will had landed heavily on the wizard's soul, who was still in a daze.
The wizard immediately woke up. He stared at Abel with fear in his eyes. He knew what that attack was. It was the evil Knight's shield strike. It was not a skill that was passed down among the Knight captains in the Holy Continent.
At the same time, he also recognized the young wizard in front of him. He was their target.
It was funny how he said he could not be discovered, but he was directly teleported in front of Abel.
However, he didn't understand why he would appear in front of Abel. How did Abel calculate that he would appear in that position?
He didn't have time to think about that. He knew Abel would not let him live. Even if it was just to keep that shield strike a secret, he would not let him live.
His soul was injured, and he could not use any power of the will. He also did not have his portal bag and magic staff. He was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Who are you? Why did you lure me out of the city? "Abel asked coldly.
Although his voice was very calm, the murderous intent he accumulated from killing many enemies in the Holy Continent and the endless battles in the Dark World was really suppressing this wizard.
"You are Abel. I know you won't let me live. I won't tell you anything!" The elite wizard's face was filled with hatred.
He knew the result would be the same. He didn't want Abel to know that there was a rank 18 Wizard Godwin in front of him. Even if he had to die, he wanted Abel to die with him.
"You don't want to talk?" Abel said coldly.
Abel didn't have time to waste with this elite wizard. The carriage was still moving forward, and it wouldn't be long before another elite wizard attacked it.
He reached his power of the will into the portal bag. Although the portal bag was locked by the wizard's power of the will, Abel's power of the will was much higher than this rank 17 wizard. He used his power of the will to forcefully break open the protection of the portal bag.
The wizard's face turned pale the moment the portal bag was broken open. His soul was already injured, and the damage he received was even worse.
Abel quickly searched through the portal bag. Soon, he found the communication card and reached in with his power of the will.
The communication card was a magic card that could be used to contact each other within a certain distance. It was a magic card with a mini communication circle. It was not very common in the Holy Continent because it was too complicated to make. Only a few wizards in the Holy Continent had it.
After Abel reached in with his power of the will, he grasped the information of the communication card, including the information of the wizard he just contacted.
"Wizard Masin, from the Blizzard clan. What a familiar name. It seems like you guys still haven't let go of your old grudge!" Abel said with a light laugh. He then casually slapped Wizard Masin's head again.
He controlled this strike very well. Wizard Masin's brain was smashed into a pile of mush, but he didn't die immediately.
Under his precise control, Wizard Masin would only truly die after 20 minutes. This was what Abel wanted. If Wizard Masin died now, his' soul flame 'would ignite the sky, and Wizard Godwin, who was still waiting for him to fall into the trap, would notice.
After placing Wizard Masin's body on the ground, Abel turned into a white light and disappeared from the spot. He was doing the same thing as Wizard Masin.
He was 500 meters away from the carriage. He focused his attention on the surroundings of the carriage. The coachman didn't know what was going on inside the carriage. He was just following the orders of the city lord.
The carriage made a turn at a fork in the road and entered a small path. After a few minutes of traveling on the small path, magic circle cards suddenly appeared on the ground around the carriage. Abel counted from afar, and there were as many as 120 of them.
When the magic circle cards appeared, each one of them emitted a white light. Afterward, the white light connected with each other and formed a giant pentagram that wrapped around the carriage.
The coachman was so frightened by the sudden situation that he jumped down from the shaft and fled to the side without looking in the direction. As a result, after running two steps, he bumped into an air wall. Due to his fast speed, the coachman fainted after the collision.
"Wizard Abel, you can't escape now!" Wizard Godwin's figure appeared in the magic circle and laughed loudly.
He had the magic circle control card in his hand, so he could freely travel in and out of the magic circle. It was an entrapment circle.
Moving magic circles like this didn't have the ability to attack. This entrapment circle was the best magic circle that Wizard Godwin had. Other than the fact that it took a little longer to set it up, it could trap even a rank 18 wizard.
At this moment, Wizard Godwin realized that something was wrong. There was no way Abel wouldn't notice something this big. He scanned the carriage with his power of the will.
There was only Viscount Ebenezer in the carriage. Abel, who was supposed to be inside, was nowhere to be seen. Viscount Ebenezer had turned into an idiot.
This was the reason why Abel didn't kill Viscount Ebenezer right away. Viscount Ebenezer was nice to him in the beginning.
It was important to note that Viscount Ebenezer had also gotten himself involved in a conflict between adepts. That was no different from suicide.
At this moment, Abel was busy. He used his power of the will to release small war puppets from Valaya's ring. These puppets surrounded the entrapment circle 500 meters away from Wizard Godwin.
They were mechanical puppets, so they didn't have any life energy. Also, they were far enough away. Wizard Godwin's attention was focused on the carriage, so he didn't notice what was going on around him.
Wizard Godwin's face changed. He quickly took out his contact card, "Little Five, where are you?"
However, there was no reply. Of course, Abel also felt the contact card in his portal bag moving, but he didn't want to connect.
At this moment, a white light shot into the sky from afar. Wizard Godwin froze for a moment and yelled, "Little Five!"
Since there was no reply from his contact card, he knew who the dead elite wizard was. That beam of light was Wizard Masin's final glory.
Wizard Godwin roared, "I know you're here, Abel. I'm telling you, I'll find you. You can't escape. I'll pull your soul out and torture it for a hundred years!"
Wizard Godwin's team was just one of the many teams in the Blizzard clan. It wasn't easy to find a combat wizard who was willing to join their team and be accepted by the other elite wizards in the team.
Little Five was his junior. He was his confidant. He brought Little Five into the team because he wanted to take over the captain's position after the captain's death.
For this goal, he took on almost all of the team's responsibilities. He didn't care if it affected his training, and Little Five was one of the most important parts.
A rank seventeen wizard who was completely loyal to him died because of a simple assassination mission in front of him. How could he not go crazy?
Abel lowered his voice, "Wizard Godwin, if you want to kill me, you should know that I'll fight back, just like Wizard Bunker and Wizard Jellal."
Wizard Godwin knew that Abel knew his identity. When he heard those two names, the anger in his heart continued to rise.
He scanned with his power of the Will in an attempt to find Abel's location, but Abel was too far away. It was beyond the range of his power of the Will. Even the small war puppets were beyond the range of his power of the Will.
Abel reached his headmaster identity card with his power of the will and sent the word "kill."
Soon, the commander spirit controlled the four hundred small-sized war puppets to shoot out arrows at the same time. One after another, the arrows flew out with a piercing sound.
At the same time, Wizard Godwin's hairs stood up. A sense of crisis rose from his heart. He almost instinctively ignited the "instantaneous movement" spell pattern with his right hand.
The scariest thing about the commander spirit was its ability to control and command a battle. Using four hundred small-sized war puppets here was different from using them on the battlefield.
When the four hundred crossbow bolts were fired, they were not fired in the same direction. Instead, they formed an intersecting attack network in the entire area, covering an area of several hundred square meters.
Only with a total of 400 small-sized war puppets could such a dense coverage of attacks be launched.
Wizard Godwin's "instantaneous movement" was activated very quickly. As soon as the arrows flew out, his body turned into a flash of white light and disappeared from the spot. Afterward, he reappeared two hundred meters away.
As soon as he reappeared, the sense of crisis did not disappear. Instead, it intensified.
He didn't have time to look around with his eyes. As he scanned with his power of the will, the "instantaneous movement" spell pattern that he had prepared in his left hand was about to be ignited again. However, as soon as he scanned with his power of the will, he discovered a net of arrows.
The combination of small-sized war puppets and bursting crossbows was the only way to continuously shoot out arrows.
Before Wizard Godwin could even ignite his "instantaneous movement," an arrow was already less than a meter away from him.
He felt the fear of death. His body almost froze, but luck was still with him. As soon as the arrow flew past him, the "instantaneous movement" spell on his left hand was successfully ignited.
When he reappeared, he had already left the web of death formed by the terrifying crossbow bolts.
After escaping from the shadow of death, he let out a long sigh of relief. Just as his body relaxed, an intense pain came from his right arm.
"Where's my right hand?" When he looked at his right hand, he realized it had disappeared from his elbow.
A shrill scream came out of his mouth, and he quickly used his left hand to cast a 'move in a flash' spell and fled into the distance.
Abel looked at Wizard Godwin who was running away. He felt helpless. It was such a good opportunity, but he still let Wizard Godwin escape.
It wasn't that he didn't want to chase, but there was no way he could catch up with a rank eighteen wizard who was running away. Wizard Godwin's "instantaneous movement" was almost random. Even if he was running away, he still had a lot of experience.
Abel came to where Wizard Godwin's hand was cut off. He saw that there was still a magic circle control card in his hand.
With a "telekinesis," Abel grabbed the magic circle control card and threw out a "fireball" to burn the hand into ashes.
He heard that there were wizards who could use potions to reattach severed limbs. This "fireball" was the last hope of Wizard Godwin.
He reached his power of the will into the magic circle control card. The power of the will inside was not very strong, so he easily got rid of it. Afterward, he imprinted his own power of the will on the control card.
Soon, the name of the magic circle came out from the control card. It was the "dragon trap circle." Of course, the "dragon trap circle" couldn't really trap a giant dragon. It was just that the scariest thing about it was that it could isolate the energy in the space.
Wizards used their own magic power to activate the spell patterns. The spell patterns communicated with the different elemental energies in the air and formed all kinds of magic attacks.
Once a wizard was trapped by the dragon trapping circle, the power of their spells would be greatly reduced. It would be very difficult to break the trapping circle formed by the dragon trapping circle.
Most importantly, the "dragon trap circle" was one of the few circles that could not be passed through using the "instantaneous movement."
Abel walked into the "dragon trap circle" with the control card in his hand. Following the guidance of the control card, he found the circle board and put away all 120 of them.
This kind of special circle was very rare in the Holy Continent. Although Abel was still not satisfied with Wizard Godwin's escape, the "dragon trap circle" was a kind of compensation.
As the dragon-trapping formation was put away, the carriage was revealed. The carriage had already been reduced to smithereens. The powerful crossbow bolts had torn the carriage, the city lord, Viscount Ebenezer, and the unconscious coachman into pieces.
Viscount Ebenezer and his coachman, who were basically no different from ordinary people, would be blown to pieces by the powerful ballista if they were touched by it. Their bodies, which had not been trained, would be blown to pieces by the powerful force.
Abel shook his head. He wanted to spare Viscount Ebenezer's life, but he died in the end.
This' Dragon Trapping Formation 'was a trapping formation. It only had the function of trapping people. In order to facilitate attacks from the outside, it couldn't block attacks from the outside at all.
Abel spoke to the headmaster identity card on his waist, "Commander spirit, put away the bolts!"
The commander spirit replied, "Yes, headmaster!"
Afterward, the four hundred little war puppets began to clean up the battlefield. Putting away the bolts would take a lot of time and effort for a normal person, but under the control of the commander spirit, each of the puppets was able to accurately find the bolts they had fired.
He didn't want to leave too many traces in this place. Also, even though it was only 2 seconds, the 400 small-sized war puppets had shot out 2400 crossbow bolts.
These bolts were the finest of the dwarves. Each one of them was very complicated to make. Abel still hadn't gotten in touch with the dwarves in the Central Continent, so he didn't know how long it would take for him to replenish them.
Of course, he could make them himself, but that would take too long. He was too lazy to do that.
In Annual City, Wizard Julian and Wizard Carnegie didn't leave. They were waiting for a reply from their respective wizard organizations. Their mission was still incomplete, so they could only decide what to do next after receiving a reply from their organizations.
At that moment, 2 elite wizards were sitting in a luxurious room with exquisite food on the table. Both of them had rushed here in a hurry. When they left, they realized that the other party hadn't eaten either, so they decided to eat together.
Although they were arguing in the City Lord's Mansion, that was only because of their mission. Now that they couldn't finish their mission, they could still sit down together.
At this moment, Wizard Carnegie looked out of the window and let out a cry of surprise.
"Soul light! What happened?"
"It really is a soul light! Which elite wizard died?" Wizard Julian's face changed as well. This was not a war zone. How could an elite wizard die?
Both of them thought of Abel at the same time. Could it be that Abel was killed by someone?
They no longer cared about the city's defensive circle. Their bodies turned into white light and disappeared from the room.
