Abel couldn’t help but be amazed, “This is close to a national treasure!”
The crystal body could be used with no time limit. There was enough energy that all wizards from all groups could enjoy its benefits. If one particular wizard group happened to have more attacking power than other wizards, that advantage would just make them win every time they were to fight those of the same rank. Of course, he would’ve had to let his own contract creatures and summoned creatures use it first. That would almost definitely increase their fighting strength.
First, Abel called out Frankenstein. He then used his power of the Will to transfer warm energy into Frankenstein’s body. Unfortunately, it was the same amount he received. He was a bit concerned before using it, but although Frankenstein’s body was made entirely of steel, the crystal body’s effect had most to do with the soul.
Following Frankenstein, Abel called out the 12 spiritual guardian wizards and guided 12 portions of the warm energy. The crystal body did not disappoint him as their “lightning chain” damage also increased by 10%. It was the same when he called out Johnson and Jason. The Element casting ability was also buffed.
After a round of using it, the energy inside the crystal body grew much smaller. Abel even went as far as to set up a large-size mana gathering circle and placed a crystal body at the center. Inside the mana environment, the recovery speed of the crystal body was multiplied, but it was still very hard to notice.
As a matter of fact, the name of the crystal body was the “crystal of blessing.” It could only be formed in a high-stress, high-pressure environment. Normally speaking, most blessing crystals were only be found at the bottom of the ocean. For those sea creatures, it didn’t mean much that the crystals were charged multiple times prior. Their large bodies would allow them to crush these crystals as soon as they bit onto them.
The blessing crystal needed the environment to recover the energy that was within. While there weren’t many mana environments in nature, the sea creatures never did complete studies on the blessing crystals. The one that Abel got this time was already found and protected by the giant sea turtle. He was just waiting for the crystal to grow.
It was the same as many other rare materials inside the ocean. As soon as powerful sea creatures found them, they would’ve been taken care of so that they could grow naturally. Perhaps several hundred years were too long for most humans, but Abel had a lot of time on him. It was even lessfor sea creatures since that was pretty much just how long it would take for them to take a nap somewhere.
What happened during that fight was quite simple. While the giant sea turtle was waiting for the blessing crystal to grow, it accidentally encountered the giant squid, which was attracted by the scent of the dragon turtle giving birth. They had no choice but to fight each other, and Abel ended up being the one that took the treasured item.
Abel was able to get it because the three legendary wizards distracted the sea creatures. His transformation necklace hid his own presence. The two powerful creatures pursued the three legendary wizards after detecting that there was no nearby threat, but that’s precisely what allowed Abel to steal the crystal.
Having placed the blessing crystal, Abel returned from the dark world back to the central continent’s golden castle. He made sure to speak to his three followers and Butler Meyer about it after adding more potions to the storage. Following that, he used the short-distance teleportation circle and headed to the super teleportation circle.
As he stood in front of the main teleportation circle room, Abel felt kind of nostalgic for some reason. He had been thinking about returning to the Holy Continent as early as the new year when the super teleportation circle was built.
After opening the door, he went to the teleportation hallroom and saw the interior that was made of special materials. The spell runes that were drawn on the ground made this room especially grand and sacred.
He spoke immediately, “Open the super teleportation circle!”
Although the super-sized teleportation circle was added after the golden castle was built, the circle used inside only had the golden castle as a foundation. It was combined with the circle system of the golden castle, so naturally, just like the inside of the golden castle, the short-distance teleportation circle could be used such that the circle spirit and the research spirit could be contacted at any time.
During this time, on the topmost platform of the golden castle, guests came to visit the legendary light. They could see that on one side of the slope, countless rays of light were sparkling.
An advanced class holder spoke to his teacher, “What’s that, mentor?”
The teacher called out, “It’s- it’s a super-sized teleportation circle!”
Some of the more experienced class holders could also see it. They could all see the super-sized teleportation circle activated, which made them think in admiration about how great Master Bennett’s influence was to own this place.
Not anyone with money could just buy a super-sized teleportation circle themselves. You could have all the right materials and hire a professional circle master. Still, without permission from the Wizard Union, the super-sized teleportation circle would be nothing but an extravagant toy. The fact that the circle could be activated proved that the Wizard Union had already approved Master Bennett’s special status.
It had really all to do with Master Bennett’s growth. He didn’t have much basis in training, but he could just become the most elite fighter throughout the whole continent with a bit more time. Only those with extraordinary backgrounds could have the privilege to own their own circle on the central continent.
Abel could feel the energy around him being activated frantically. The circle rune beneath him was growing brighter and brighter, and his power of the Will was controlling his transformation necklace such that his elegant elven form was reverted to his muscular human body. At the same time, his elven robe was changed into his wizard robe, and the moment he went back to being Abel, the human, his body disappeared inside the teleportation circle.
In Liante City of the Holy Continent, a forced teleportation request was sent from the super teleportation circle. This request was made with the highest level of access, which meant that no permission from any party was needed.
Wizard Lorenzo teleported towards the teleportation room, “Strange… What celebrity is coming here today?”
Whoever it was, Wizard Lorenzo knew that he had to be very careful with his demeanor. Once he went to the teleportation room, he could see that the teleportation ended. He stood inside the teleportation hallroom, and after seeing the white light disappear, he could see people emerging.
He was very emotional to recognize the figure, “You’re back, Wizard Abel!”
Abel stepped out and looked at Wizard Lorenzo, “It’s been a while, Wizard Lorenzo!”
Wizard Lorenzo could definitely sense Abel’s presence, “Your power, Wizard Abel, it-”
“I has gotten much stronger after going to the central continent, Wizard Lorenzo. Now I’m a beginner law-defying wizard.”
“Master Abel!” Wizard Lorenzo quickly bowed in fright, “I’m terribly sorry for calling you by the wrong title!”
Law-defying wizards were like the pinnacle of beings on the central continent, almost like the setting stones of the world. Abel’s age was never a secret on the Holy Continent. As the most well-known genius of all time, every progress he made in his life had been an extraordinary inspiration to all class holders here. Still, no matter how much of a genius he was, Wizard Lorenzo would’ve never guessed that he could become a law-defying wizard, something that was only supposed to exist in myths, according to their understanding.
Yes, law-defying wizards were definitely powerful beings to Wizard Lorenzo. The most he’s seen had been law-defying wizards, and that’s what he remembered seeing on the central continent. After all these years on the Holy Continent, he had almost forgotten that this group of terrifying beings exist. He immediately changed his attitude to being very cautious as soon as he noticed Abel’s suppressive pressure.
Abel went to hold him up, “We’re friends, Wizard Lorenzo! I’ll also need to thank you for all the care you’ve been providing ot the Kingdom of St. Ellis.”
Wizard Lorenzo was a bit embarrassed, “I’m so sorry, Master Abel! I’ve never taken care of the Kingdom of St. Ellis!”
Abel never heard anything from Bartoli, “What happened here? What do you mean?”
He knew that Bartoli was not going to lie to him. Bartoli’s intelligence system was based on the previous most influential assassin organization on the Holy Continent. It was also the most updated organization with all the regular information the St. Ellis intelligence agency provided.
Wizard Lorenzo quickly responded, “Nothing major happened, Master Abel! I just, I might have restricted the development of the Kingdom of St. Ellis!”
Abel laughed and spoke, “Well, I made the same arrangements when I left the Holy Continent!”
Wizard Lorenzo went ahead and explained, “Your influence is too great, Master Abel! The Kingdom of St. Ellis is now a much stronger state than St. Pierrt and St. Anwall combined. Your officials just made a request recently to sweep the Holy Continent clean a few days ago because of this, but I had to keep those voices down since, well, I am the representative of the Wizard Union!”
Abel nodded in approval, “It’s always good to leave yourself with some enemies. Without someone to go against, the empire might just age and crumble until it has no energy left!”
Wizard Lorenzo laughed bitterly, “Ha, ha! Your understanding is far better than mine, Master Abel! I just happened to make the same choices because I received a command from the central continent Wizard Union. They instructed that none of the subcontinents should be ruled by just one empire.”
Wizard Lorenzo actually had no interest in politics. He’s especially had no interest in running the internal affairs of a state-run by none other than Abel. He would’ve never been a part of this unless he got commands from the Wizard Union. By the way, he had a good understanding of Abel this whole time, but after realizing that this young genius was already a law-defying wizard, he would’ve had no choice but to report it to his higher-ups. He would’ve wanted to antagonize the law-defying wizards that were his supervisors.
“So that’s what this is!” Abel started to understand. Because of what happened to the Lance Continent, the Wizard Union became vigilant about another Holy Light Empire unifying the territory and exterminating the Wizard Union.
As a subcontinent guardian wizard, Wizard Lorenzo’s instructions were to keep things in order, such that there would always be a good balance between each of the empires. If anyone was to try to unify all the regions, the Wizard Union would come and intercept with their own military might. As far as the Wizard Union was concerned, their ultimate goal was to keep the powers between the empires to an equilibrium.
Since Wizard Lorenzo was especially close to Abel (That, combined with the fact that the Kingdom of St. Ellis had no wizard army of its own), he became responsible for warning the officials of St. Ellis to not go overboard. What he didn’t do, however, was to do anything that’d actually reduce the empire’s power in any aspect.
Abel laughed and spoke, “You’ve done very well, Wizard Lorenzo. From here on, how about you do as the Wizard Union requested and look after my hot-headed officials for me?”
Having heard what Abel said, Wizard Lorenzo was finally able to become more relaxed. Before, he was only in it for his friendship with Abel, but now, he was certain about helping Abel protect the Kingdom of St. Ellis.
He realized that he had been speaking to Abel inside the hallroom, “Would you like to take a break inside the union, Master Abel?”
This was a very, very impolite request from Wizard Lorenzo. After hearing that Abel was already a law-defying wizard, he started losing his cool.
