After absorbing a huge amount of energy, the oak tree finally stopped growing in size. Its trunk was now ten meters in diameter, and its crown covered a large area.
Green flowers slowly bloomed on the oak tree. Then, when the flowers reached their peak, they withered away, leaving green acorns hanging on the branches.
These green acorns quickly turned brown with the help of energy, and the oak tree stopped growing.
Just when Abel thought that everything was over, a surge of energy was transferred into his body through his palm.
It was pure life force. He felt that every cell in his body was cheering. His body was instantly replenished with a large amount of life force, and his body was filled with vitality.
He couldn't describe his body at all. He felt like he was a baby. His skin, muscles, and bones were all full of vitality.
However, this life force was still going on. Abel felt that if this continued, he might become the first wizard to die from it.
Just when he was thinking about this, the oak tree's crown shook a little. Then, the life force that entered his body turned into pure wizard mana.
This wizard mana had no special characteristics. It was filtered by the oak tree. After entering Abel's body, it was directly absorbed by his wizard core.
Abel felt like his wizard core was being watered with mana. The mana that would've taken tens of years to cultivate was replenished in a short time. Since it was the purest form of mana, he didn't need to make any changes to absorb it directly into his wizard core.
After ten minutes, he felt that he was full. Just when Abel was thinking about wasting more mana entering his body, his thoughts were heard by the oak tree again.
Suddenly, a strange feeling came from the oak tree, and Abel immediately entered a leveling up mode. Leveling up qi began to rise from his body.
Wizard Malon's eyes flashed with horror as if he had just seen something horrifying. Not only was his body still losing energy, but the special memories in his brain were also lost.
When he saw the promotion qi rising from Abel, he knew what he was losing. It was his past promotion memories.
He looked at the Oak Tree that was wrapped around him. He already knew what he was facing. This was a Tree of Life, a Tree of Life that had recognized its master. It could control the power of life and kill any creature that came close to it at any time.
If he could encounter a tree of life in his prime, he would've been very happy. The tree of life was the weakest divine spirit. It didn't have any special attacks, and it was a very peaceful plant type divine spirit.
If Wizard Malon's body had the sap of the tree of life, he could've turned his puppet body into his real body. He wouldn't have to use all kinds of methods to maintain his body.
What he didn't understand the most was how Abel could be the master of the tree of life. The tree of life was only owned by the elves. The elves protected the tree of life, and there was only one tree of life in the world. There was no way a second tree of life could exist in the same world.
Wizard Malon thought about the mana environment here. He thought about everything he saw. Through his senses, and through the appearance of the tree of life, he was sure that this was another world.
Abel didn't know what Wizard Malon was thinking. He was completely immersed in leveling up. This time, he didn't even need the mana around him. The energy coming from the oak tree was more than enough for him to level up.
It was a waste of energy, but Abel didn't know that. His body was madly absorbing the pure mana.
The rank seventeen wizard rune was drawn on his wizard crystal body. The pure mana poured in, and the promotion qi changed his body and increased his power of the Will.
Before he knew it, he had become a rank seventeen wizard. At this point, he was still not fully awake. He was already addicted to the pure mana pouring in.
If he could wake up at this point, he would be able to find out what his oak tree had become from Wizard Malon.
But Abel didn't have the time to care about anything else. The pure mana was pouring in, and his power was increasing crazily. He was fully focused on channeling it into his wizard crystal body.
The oak tree seemed to know what Abel needed. It kept on absorbing the mana from Wizard Malon's body. It then used its roots to remove the unique characteristics of Wizard Malon in the mana and turned it into pure mana for Abel.
The mana in a rank seventeen wizard's wizard crystal body would take at least a few decades to fill up, but the mana from the oak tree made Abel feel like his mana was increasing crazily.
After half an hour, Abel felt that he was full again. This time, he didn't have to think about anything else. Instead, a strange feeling came from the trunk.
Abel entered the promotion state again. The promotion qi was rising, and he was going all out to level up again.
At this point, Wizard Malon could feel that there was not much energy left in his body. He knew that his end was coming, and he couldn't accept this kind of death.
Abel had leveled up twice in a row right in front of him. Both times, he got the energy from him, and even the feeling was taken away from him.
He used everything he had to support his enemy. He helped a young genius become a rank eighteen wizard at least a hundred years earlier. He could feel that Abel's life force was like that of a baby.
Abel didn't know what this meant, but he did. This was what he wanted. It was what all wizards wanted. Abel's life force had reached a theoretical peak, and it made Abel a lifespan reset.
Lifespan reset meant that no matter how many years a person had lived before, once their lifespan was reset, their life would be like being reborn. They would return to the final stage of their life.
Wizard Malon's heart was about to collapse. He knew that he gave everything he had to Abel, and it was a huge waste for Abel to get it.
How old was Abel? According to the Central Continent's calculation system, he was only nineteen years old. Even if he added up all the time he had spent in the Dark World, he would only be a few decades old.
Abel's age was considered young even among beginner and intermediate wizards, let alone advanced wizards. Wizard Malon, on the other hand, couldn't help but sigh at the fact that someone as young as Abel could have his lifespan reset. He had taken the risk to fuse with a puppet and become a monster just to extend his lifespan.
Abel was able to draw a rank eighteen wizard rune on his wizard crystal body. The reason he could do it so smoothly was because his wizard crystal body was condensed enough to support it. If other wizards were in the same situation, their wizard crystal body wouldn't be able to support a higher rank rune even if they had the help of leveling up.
Wizard Malon was generous enough to provide him with pure mana and leveling up insights. That, combined with his own wizard crystal body's condensation rate, allowed him to level up twice in a short period of time and become a rank eighteen advanced wizard.
Abel began to enjoy the rapid growth of his mana again. But when it reached half, the source of mana suddenly disappeared.
He woke up from his extreme indulgence. When he opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body, he realized that what he just experienced was real. He was now a rank eighteen wizard.
Although he still couldn't face a law-defying wizard head-on, a rank 18 wizard with his wizard crystal core wouldn't be suppressed by a rank 20 wizard.
He couldn't fight in front of a rank twenty wizard, but he could run away.
He looked at Wizard Malon. There was no sign of life in him anymore. He was truly dead.
Abel didn't want to bury Wizard Malon's body just like that. It was a body left behind by a law-defying wizard, after all. He still had some ideas, so he put Wizard Malon's body into Valaya's ring.
After Abel was done, he looked at the oak tree again. It had grown into a super giant tree. Luckily, he planted it some distance away from Rogge's camp. Otherwise, it would've covered the entire Rogge's camp.
There were acorns all over the oak tree. He could feel that some strange life was being nurtured in them. He didn't know how long it would take, but he really wanted to see what kind of life would come out of those acorns. Would it be a new oak tree or something else?
The oak tree seemed to have used up a lot of energy. It didn't have any reaction at all. It was just like a real tree, but the life energy in its trunk was like a volcano that was ready to erupt at any time.
Abel didn't bother the oak tree anymore. He picked up Wizard Malon's four portal bags and flashed back to Rogge's camp.
In Rogge's camp, he reached his power of the Will into the first portal bag. This time, there was nothing stopping him. Wizard Malon's death made the portal bag lose its protection.
"Isn't this my portal bag?" Abel looked at the ten cubic meters of portal bag. There were a few "move in a flash" scrolls and some other things that weren't too precious.
He looked at the "move in a flash" scroll that he lost, and he couldn't help but feel a heartache.
Abel cursed under his breath, "Damn Wizard Malon! I was wondering why he didn't feel any pain when he used a move in a flash scroll. So he was using mine!"
He casually opened another portal bag. This time, a smile appeared on his face. He saw a lot of "move in a flash" scrolls. There were about a hundred and ten of them.
Abel didn't know what level wizards were at, but the "move in a flash" scrolls were a hard currency. Whether it was the cost of materials or the cost of lowering a wizard's spell level, the scrolls had always been very rare.
Since wizards were in danger, the only way to escape faster than using the 'move in a flash' spell scroll was to use the 'move in a flash' spell scroll. Therefore, the 'move in a flash' spell scroll was constantly being used up.
Even law-defying wizards had to use a "move in a flash" scroll, but the one that Wizard Malon was able to keep was not an ordinary one.
Abel scanned them with his power of the Will. He realized that these scrolls were all converted from a max-level "move in a flash" spell. Whether it was the distance or the effect, they were much more valuable than the "move in a flash" scrolls that Abel had.
He finally understood why Wizard Malon wanted to use the "move in a flash" scroll he got from him first. From what Wizard Malon saw, the "move in a flash" scrolls he had were all defective.
"Huh?" He saw what he wanted the most. Light gems. They were big ones. Although there were only twenty of them, they were equivalent to the lives of twenty elite holy knights.
Abel thought about how scary the defense of those advanced holy Knights were. Maybe only a law-defying wizard like Wizard Malon could kill so many advanced Knights.
Then there were the top-level gems that Abel didn't care about. There were a total of one hundred and twenty top-level gems. This was the first time he saw so many top-level gems on a single wizard other than the ones he had on him.
Still, these weren't bad. At least these gems were not like the ones he had on him that he could trade.
Not a single item that appeared on Wizard Malon's body was cheap. They were all top-level items.
Finally, there was a black card. It was made of a very special material, and Abel couldn't tell what it was made of. He didn't know what it was used for, but he knew it must be very valuable.
This portal bag was full of treasures, and it had a space of twenty cubic meters. Abel was very hopeful about the next one, but when he opened it, he saw that it was his own five cubic meters portal bag.
He put down his disappointment and opened the last portal bag. It was also twenty cubic meters, but there were a lot more things in it than the other one. It was almost full.
Abel checked it out, but he was still disappointed. The quality of these things was nothing compared to the ones in the other one.
This portal bag seemed to be the one that Wizard Malon used the most. Wizard Malon's wizard badge was inside, but since he was dead, the badge had lost its power of the Will, so it was no longer useful.
Abel couldn't help but feel his heart ache. A law-defying wizard's points were very scary, and it was gone just like that. The Wizard Union was the only one who got it.
