As soon as Abel dodged Wizard Frank's lightning spell, Johnson made its move. Its speed was out of Wizard Frank's expectation.
Normally, Johnson's giant body should be slow, but once it made a move, its speed reached a point where the naked eye couldn't even see it.
Johnson approached Wizard Frank in a single step. He struck down with his lightning spear, and an explosion sounded in the air.
As an official team member, Wizard Frank had a lot of battle experience. He quickly recovered from his shock and ignited the "move in a flash" that he had been preparing. His body disappeared from the spot as the lightning spear struck down.
However, when he saw the small crater that was created by Johnson's Lightning Spear, he was secretly shocked.
He knew how hard the ground was. If Johnson's strike hit him, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.
As an elite wizard's battle arena, the arena itself had the ability to suppress the power of spells. Although a wizard's spell looked powerful, it would only be 10% of its original power.
However, Johnson's attack was different. It was not affected by the arena at all, so Wizard Frank couldn't help but become more cautious.
As soon as Wizard Frank finished his "instantaneous movement," Abel unleashed a lightning spell from his right hand towards Wizard Frank. His timing was perfect. The moment Wizard Frank appeared, Abel's attack had already arrived.
As an elite wizard with the gift of lightning, Wizard Frank's power was perfectly displayed. As soon as he appeared from the "instantaneous movement," another "instantaneous movement" spell was ready.
Therefore, he did not panic when he was attacked by Abel. Instead, he turned into a flash of white light and disappeared from the spot.
However, once he lost the initiative in front of Abel and Johnson, Johnson's lightning-like speed and Abel's instantaneous spells would be like maggots attached to his bones. It would be hard to escape.
For the next 2 minutes, Wizard Frank could not fight back at all. The ring was too small, so all he could do was move in a flash.
"Ok, stop!" Wizard Hogg lowered his voice.
Wizard Frank let out a long breath of relief. He finally understood Abel's power. If he didn't have the gift of lightning, he would've been defeated by the combination of Abel and Johnson.
Abel also looked at Wizard Frank with admiration. Many rank 17 wizards had died in the hands of Johnson. Even with the combination of Abel and Johnson, they still couldn't hit Wizard Frank for such a long time. This showed how powerful Wizard Frank was.
Of course, it was also because Johnson didn't unleash its full power. At least, it didn't unleash the 10 lightning strikes from its lightning spear. Still, this was just a normal battle, so Wizard Frank must have some tricks up his sleeves as well.
"I declare Wizard Abel the winner of this challenge!" Wizard Hogg gazed at Abel and turned to the rest of the team.
Wizard Evans smiled and congratulated Abel, "Haha, you're the first one to become an official member of the team at rank 16!"
"Yeah, that iron thing is powerful. Frank, slow down a little and try it out!" Another rank 19 wizard in the team laughed.
"Wizard Lamo, you can try it yourself. That thing's weapon is a little strange. I don't want to take a hit from it!" Wizard Frank shook his head and said.
"Ok, you can do whatever you want. Wizard Abel, there's a mission in 10 days. Someone will inform you when it's done. Go prepare some potions and scrolls. If you need anything, just tell Wizard Lamo. He is the vice-captain of the team!" Wizard Hogg lowered his voice.
After that, Wizard Hogg turned into a flash of white light and disappeared.
"Wizard Abel, I'm going to find some materials. I'll have to trouble you to make a magic staff later!" Wizard Evans stepped up and said to Abel with a smile. The Lightning Clan didn't have their own blacksmith, so most of their equipment was obtained from battles.
The Lightning Clan had the gift of lightning, so they mainly used lightning spells in battles. But other than lightning wizards, who would prepare a lightning magic staff for themselves? That was why there weren't many lightning magic staffs in the Lightning Clan.
But now, things were different. The appearance of a Grandmaster Blacksmith like Abel had given the wizards in the team some ideas. They didn't care about the materials for magic staffs before, but now they cared about it.
One by one, the team members came up to greet him. Abel could clearly feel the sincerity in their voices, especially the official team members.
After greeting each other, the team members all left. Only Wizard Lamo stayed behind.
"Wizard Abel, did you notice that everyone was too friendly?" Wizard Lamo smiled and said to Abel.
"Vice-captain, yes!" Abel nodded. He had a lot of experience, but he had never been accepted so quickly in a place.
"Official team members often take on dangerous missions, so we need to trust each other with our lives. Your performance today has won everyone's approval. Everyone has accepted you as a member of the team. From now on, they will treat you like a real brother." Wizard Lamo explained.
Abel nodded and put Johnson back into his monster ring.
"Wizard Abel, come with me to the team warehouse. See if there's anything you need. Once you become an official team member, you can choose any reward you want!" Wizard Lamo invited.
Abel realized why the team members just left after greeting him. They knew he was going to the warehouse to choose his reward, so they left him some time.
The team warehouse was located in the office area of the underground space. Wizard Lamo led them to a door on the side of the office area.
"Only the captain and vice-captain of the team have the authority to open this door!" Wizard Lamo said as he opened the door with his wizard badge.
Abel's sharp senses sensed surveillance everywhere as soon as he entered the door. There seemed to be a large number of surveillance circles here. It was almost impossible to sneak in without anyone noticing.
It made sense. Almost all the elite wizards here were proficient in moving in a flash. They could ignore most of the magic circles. If there were no surveillance, how could this place be safe?
In this room, there was a row of 20 iron doors that were painted with patterns. There were different numbers on the iron doors to differentiate them.
"Wizard Abel, be careful. Don't get too close to the other doors. Our team warehouse is door number 3!" Wizard Lamo reminded Abel as he carefully led Abel to door number 3.
"This place is under the surveillance of the lightning spirit. If anything happens, it will immediately notify the law-defying wizards in retreat!" Wizard Lamo said as he took out his wizard badge.
Abel became even more careful after hearing this. It would be very troublesome to disturb a law-defying wizard in retreat. No wizard could stand being disturbed in their retreat, let alone a law-defying wizard.
He followed Wizard Lamo into treasury no.3. There were tens of shelves in front of him. There were all kinds of weapons, equipment, precious materials, books, and so on. You could say this place had everything you could think of.
"Where did all these things come from?" Abel couldn't help but ask when he saw the scale of the treasury. This was just a small team's treasury, and it was already this big.
Wizard Lamo smiled and explained, "Most of them are spoils of war. Most of them have been exchanged for credit points, and the rest can't be sold in a short period of time. The team has accumulated more and more, and that's how we got this warehouse!"
"Then these should be personal items, right?" Abel asked again.
Wizard Lamo pointed at the items on the shelf and said, "Other than training items, the rest of the items belong to the team. You can pick one here!"
Abel stepped up and looked at the items on the shelves. He didn't need a lot of resources. He was a Master Alchemist and a Grandmaster Blacksmith. He was basically self-sufficient.
There were all kinds of equipment for different professions. There were even many Black Wind equipment for the Holy Knight. There were also quite a few good alchemy materials. You could say that the value of the items here was much higher than any other treasury he had ever seen.
"Huh!" Abel suddenly noticed a black rock on the ground. He couldn't help but gasp.
It didn't look like anything special, but Abel's eyes were different from normal people. He was a Grandmaster Blacksmith, so he could tell it was a dark iron ore. However, it was different from normal dark iron ore. It was a dark iron ore that contained lightning elements.
Black Iron Ore was considered a relatively rare ore. The black iron forged from it was one of the hardest materials. It was usually used in shields, armors, and other defensive equipment. Just a little bit of it could increase the strength of the equipment by a lot. It was a rare forging material.
He stepped forward and picked up the black iron ore. This black iron ore was covered with dense lightning elements from the inside out. If he could forge the black iron ore into black iron, then it would be hard enough to break through it.
It was a pity that there weren't enough dark iron ores, though.
Wizard Lamo shook his head, "Who brought this thing here? It's probably Wizard Frank. He always likes to put useless things in his portal bag."
"Vice-Captain, do you know where this came from?" Abel could tell that Wizard Lamo knew where this dark iron ore came from, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Wizard Abel, I almost forgot that you are a Grandmaster Blacksmith. Of course, you know this is a dark iron ore, but it has been corroded by lightning elements. It's worthless!" Wizard Lamo sighed.
"I don't understand. Why do you say this dark iron ore is worthless?" Abel asked in confusion. He knew that only the dwarfs had dark iron ores in the Holy Continent. They had always been priceless.
"This dark iron ore was found in the Thunder Fall land, but when we found it, we asked a Grandmaster Blacksmith to determine its value. That Grandmaster Blacksmith tried to forge it, but the dark iron ore exploded. According to that Grandmaster Blacksmith, the dark iron ores in the Thunder Fall land were corroded by lightning elements. When it was burned by fire, it would produce elemental resistance. Therefore, the dark iron ores in the Thunder Fall land are useless!" Wizard Lamo said helplessly.
"Vice-Captain, give this ore to me. I'll see if I can forge dark iron!" Abel said with a smile. He didn't agree with that Grandmaster Blacksmith's words. This dark iron ore did contain lightning elements, but as long as the lightning and fire elements were carefully balanced during the forging process, it wouldn't be hard to forge a dark iron ore.
Of course, this was also true for him. With his world stone fragment, he could observe things from a dynamic perspective. His powerful body could also coordinate with his dynamic perspective. Therefore, as long as it was theoretically possible, he could do it perfectly.
"Wizard Abel, you need to think clearly. If you take this useless ore, you can't take anything else out of here!" Wizard Lamo reminded Abel.
"Vice-Captain, I don't lack equipment and potions, but I want to do some research on this ore. I'll take it!" Abel said with certainty.
"I don't know what you are thinking. If you want this ore, there are plenty in the Thunder Fall land. Don't take this one!" Wizard Lamo tried to persuade again.
He thought this Grandmaster Blacksmith Abel had a special interest in ores. It was more than other materials, but he couldn't understand it.
"Vice-Captain, no need. I'll take this one!" Abel said with a smile as he put the ore in his portal bag.
Wizard Lamo saw Abel's actions, and he knew he couldn't persuade him anymore. He could only lead Abel out of the treasure room.
On the way back, Abel's heart was filled with excitement. According to Wizard Lamo, there was a dark iron ore mine in the Thunder Fall land. He didn't want too much of it. He just wanted enough for Johnson to get a full body of multi-faceted iron balls.
Ever since Johnson had started using the Titan Armor and the Lightning Spear, his control over the power of lightning had improved. Since Jason had the ability to control the fire element after using the ore that contained the fire element as his body, Abel had the idea of changing Johnson's body into a Darksteel multi-faceted Steel Ball that contained the lightning element.
