Wizard Lucian's voice emerged from the sky, "The wizard war will be between the lightning clan and the blizzard clan. The time limit is one hour. Please follow the rules of the Wizard Union. Violators will be punished by the Wizard Union!"
Wizard Jevos got excited and yelled, "It's starting! It's starting! Place your bets! 1: 5 if the lightning clan can break the city's big circle! 1: 1.2 if the lightning clan can't!"
Abel was stunned as he watched Wizard Jevos take gems from the wizards beside him and record them down. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water.
Abel wondered if the lightning clan and the blizzard clan would kill all the wizards on the hill if they knew that these people were betting on them.
He also realized that these wizards were very confident in the lightning clan. None of them thought that the lightning clan would lose. Even in the bet, there was no chance that the lightning clan would lose.
As soon as Wizard Lucian announced the start of the war, the rank 20 lightning clan wizard flashed and appeared 200 meters away from the city gate. He was basically in the attack range of the city crossbows and the elite wizards on the city wall.
The rank 20 lightning clan wizard lowered his voice, "Wizard Marz, you and I both know why I'm here today. Wizard Abel is a wizard of the lightning clan. How dare you put him on the wanted list so blatantly? This is an insult to the lightning clan. After today's war, if you continue to do this, then Elder Hal will personally participate in the next wizard war!"
Elder Marz's voice was a little weak, "Wizard Hogg, first of all, we didn't know that Wizard Abel was a member of the lightning clan. We only put him on the wanted list because Wizard Abel attacked Frost City. Also, Elder Hal just became a law-defying wizard. Are you going to break the rules of the Wizard Union and let law-defying wizards get involved in a wizard war?"
"Wizard Marz, a rank sixteen wizard attacking Frost City? That's a very funny joke. I can't help but laugh out loud!" Wizard Hogg laughed and continued, "Headmaster Hal just got promoted, and he still hasn't finished his business in the mortal world. I'm sure he really wants to get rid of your Blizzard clan!"
Atop the city wall, Elder Marz's expression changed. Leaving behind the mundane world was something that seemed ordinary, but it actually carried a bloody meaning.
Rank 20 was the end of a normal wizard's life. However, some talented wizards could break through the shackles of rank 20 and become law-defying wizards through various fortuitous encounters.
Law-defying wizards were wizards who had broken through the law. They could crush normal wizards, but their opponents would always be law-defying wizards.
The Wizard Union wanted to restrict these walking superweapons, so they made a rule that law-defying wizards could not participate in wizard wars. They couldn't even take part in conflicts in the common world.
Of course, there were exceptions. When you just became a law-defying wizard, you could ignore the rules of the Wizard Union and make a move.
Therefore, law-defying wizards who had just broken through were the scariest. They had unlimited power to attack any target.
Elder Bunch yelled, "Wizard Hogg, it doesn't matter if we win or lose today. We will cancel the bounty on Wizard Abel!"
Wizard Hogg laughed, "Alright, let's begin!" Afterward, a "lightning" spell pattern appeared on the magic staff in his right hand, and a bolt of "lightning" struck towards the city gate.
At the same time, a 'move in a flash' spell pattern appeared on his left hand. After the 'lightning' attack, his body disappeared from the spot. In the place where his body disappeared, several crossbow bolts and a 'blizzard' spell without a target appeared.
Wizard Hogg's attack was like the fuse that ignited the battle. Other than the 3 rank 17 wizards, the other 9 Lightning clan wizards began to attack the city's big circle with spells.
What they needed to do now was to deplete the energy of the city's big circle as much as possible.
Of course, they knew that this kind of attack was just a way to deplete the energy of the city's big circle. It was impossible for them to actually break into Frost City.
The 7 advanced wizards kept flashing among the arrows and spells. They kept casting lightning spells towards the city gate. Although they were blocked by the protective shield above the city, the lightning arcs were still eating away at the city's big circle.
The 3 rank 17 wizards took out some parts from their portal bags and began to assemble.
With a distance of more than a thousand meters, the Blizzards on the city wall could not pose a threat to the 3 rank 17 wizards. Therefore, they could easily assemble their weapons.
Soon, the 3 rank 17 wizards finished assembling, and a long range ballista appeared on the ground.
2 rank 17 wizards stood in front of the long range ballista and placed their hands on it. The other rank 17 wizard placed one hand on the back of the long range ballista and took out an arrow full of runes from his portal bag.
A wizard on the hill yelled in excitement, "Haha, the lightning clan has a much higher chance of breaking the city's big circle now!"
He must've bet that the lightning clan would be able to break the city's big circle. He was very excited when he saw the long range ballista.
Wizard Jevos sighed, "The lightning clan is really generous. I can't believe they're willing to take out explosive arrows like that."
Abel didn't understand, "What are explosive arrows for?"
He had never heard of exploding crossbows in the Holy Continent before, so he was very curious about them.
Wizard Jevos reminded, "Druid Bennett, you have to be careful when you run into someone with these explosive bolts. They don't have much effect on wizards who know how to move in a flash, but they can be deadly to a fixed target or someone like you who doesn't know how to move in a flash."
Abel nodded. He was a Druil now, so he didn't have the ability to move in a flash.
Wizard Jevos continued, "When the explosive crossbow arrow hits its target, other than the special attack power of the crossbow arrow, the pattern on the surface will also explode, turning the arrow into countless fragments. The fragments that are produced when they explode have powerful elemental and physical attack power. They can penetrate most defensive spells!"
Abel's eyes began to sparkle. If there were a lot of explosive arrows, their power would be very shocking. If he used a bursting ballista to fire, he might be able to wipe out a whole area.
Wizard Jevos couldn't help but laugh when he saw the envious look on Abel's face, "Don't even think about it, Druil Bennett. These explosive arrows can only be exchanged with credit points. Don't even think about it!"
On the battlefield, the 3 rank 17 wizards had already placed their hands on the long range ballista. The ballista was already loaded with explosive arrows. The 3 wizards disappeared from the spot and reappeared 200 meters away from the city gate.
The rank 17 wizard behind the ballista pressed the mechanism with his right hand, and a shadow shot out from the ballista.
Just before the attack from the city wall arrived, the 3 wizards placed their hands on the ballista and disappeared in front of the city gate. After a few "instantaneous movements," they reappeared a thousand meters away again.
Then, they began to set up the second explosive crossbow bolt. Once again, they moved closer to the city gates and began to attack.
It was obvious that they had been trained for a long time. The coordination between the three wizards was almost like a single person. The power of the ballista combined with the explosive arrows was almost equal to the attack of a rank 20 Wizard Hogg.
"Elders, 2 top-level gems have been consumed!" The voice of the city spirit emerged, reminding the 3 elders of their energy consumption.
Elder Langland growled, "Damn it! I want to go out and fight them!"
Two top-level gems had been used up in such a short period of time. It made their hearts ache.
Elder Bunch said calmly, "I won't stop you if you want to die, Langland."
Elder Marz said helplessly, "Take it slow. Let them vent their anger. Otherwise, we'll lose even more if they make a move when we're fighting for resources."
The 3 elders knew very well that even though there was only one rank 20 wizard from the Lightning Clan, the power of a Lightning Clan wizard was terrifying. If he was hit by a Lightning Clan wizard of the same level, the only thing that awaited him was numbness until he was killed.
If it wasn't necessary, they wouldn't want to fight a lightning wizard of the same level. Even if it was a one-on-one situation, they wouldn't do it. They knew the death rate would be very high if they fought.
The Lightning Clan didn't have many Sorcerers, but their status was one of the highest among all the Sorcerer organizations. This was the reason why.
Abel stood on top of a small hill and looked at the 10 elite wizards from the Lightning Clan who were fighting for him. His heart was filled with gratitude, especially after he realized the value of those explosive crossbow bolts.
He could no longer stand watching from the side. He lightly patted the neck of the Mad Wolf beneath him. The Mad Wolf gently retreated and quietly left the small hill.
Wizard Jevos didn't say anything when he saw Abel leave. He felt that it was a pity that Abel couldn't watch the wizard war, but he didn't want to miss the show in front of him.
Abel came to a forest and used the transformation necklace to change back to his original form. He appeared as a human Abel again.
He then put his left hand in front of his chest, and Johnson's giant body appeared in front of him. He had the "move in a flash" spell pattern in his hand, and he was already standing on Johnson's shoulder.
He didn't have the confidence to face a rank 20 wizard without Johnson as a shield.
Johnson strode towards the center of the battlefield. His ten-meter-tall body attracted the attention of everyone both inside and outside the battlefield.
"Little guy, are you going to join the wizard war?" Wizard Lucian flashed next to Johnson and said to Abel.
Abel bowed on Johnson's shoulder, "Respectable law enforcement wizard, I'm a member of the lightning clan. I want to join the wizard war!"
"Adept Hogg, is this an adept of the lightning clan? This little guy wants to join the wizard war? Are you lightning clan crazy? You let such a young guy run around outside! " Wizard Lucian turned his head and yelled at Wizard Hogg. His voice was so loud that no sound in the battlefield could cover it.
Wizard Hogg heard him and flashed next to him. He looked at Johnson and Abel on its shoulder and smiled.
"You must be Abel. That kid Dunn mentioned you to me!" He smiled.
"Wizard Hogg, I am Abel Harry. Thank you so much for starting the wizard war for me!" Abel jumped down from Johnson's shoulder and gently landed in front of Wizard Hogg. He then bowed.
Wizard Hogg and Wizard Lucian were shocked. Abel had just become an advanced wizard, and he had not strengthened his body yet. If he could jump down from this height so easily, it meant that Abel's body was way stronger than a normal wizard's.
This was also a sign of potential, because a wizard's biggest enemy was their own body. Due to the erosion of mana over a long period of time, although they had slowly gotten used to it and developed a resistance to elements, the damage to the body was real. Whether it was during the process of leveling up or during the usual meditation, the damage to the body would have an impact.
A strong body meant more potential for a wizard, and a nineteen-year-old advanced wizard meant something else.
Wizard Hogg knew that as long as Abel didn't die, rank twenty was not the end for Abel. Maybe the lightning clan would have another law-defying wizard.
A lightning-type law-defying wizard could be scary. Just look at how invincible a lightning-type law-defying wizard was.
Wizard Lucian was also thinking about Abel. He was thinking about how to get on good terms with Abel before he grew up. He also thought that Abel might become a lightning-type law-defying wizard.
"Wizard Abel, the wizard war is only for the Blizzard clan. You're not the only reason why we're hunting down the Lightning clan!" Wizard Hogg smiled and continued, "You are the disciple of Wizard Moreton. I watched Moreton grow up. I didn't expect his disciple to become an advanced wizard already. How is he doing?"
"Teacher just became an intermediate wizard. The Holy Continent is very good. I believe he will be able to level up again soon!" Abel bowed.
