Abe the Wizard Chapter 979

Chapter 979 - Schemes

Inside the castle, one Mad knight looked towards five law-defying wizards, the 15 advanced wizards, and one of what appeared to be like an occupation holder that was brought with the “instantaneous movement.” Their eyes were flashing with zealous ambition. Three more of their kind walked out. These were the three that came out as soon as the large-sized enclosing circle was activated. There were a total of eight Mad knights. It was enough to sweep the entire squad that was below.

As for the castle’s safety, it was not easy to break through the protection of 2000 sacred knights and one large defensive circle. Time-wise, they had enough of it to go about before deciding what sort of approach they were going to take. No , they didn’t think that five law-defying wizards- even those that belonged to the lightning clan were capable of doing any harm to the castle. As for the remaining wizards, honestly, they weren’t even considered to be a threat to the castle’s defense.

On the other hand, Wizard Davy was confident that the opposite was going to happen. He believed that it was possible to launch an offense because he just found out about the three Mad knights as he scanned with the long-ranged scanning circle. It appeared that the reinforcement just arrived. The number was just enough for them to deal with. If he could just draw those Mad knights out all at once, he believed, it would be possible to deal any real harm to the castle.

Now that he had created that opportunity, the next step was to just watch how the two sides were going to interact with each other. He was the one who initiated this conflict. As for what was going to happen next, he would leave that to the rest of his men.

Wizard Davy smiled towards Abel, “Looks like it wasn’t for nothing, Master Bennett.”

Wizard Davy seemed to really care about what Abel might be going next. As far as he saw, Abel was the deciding factor to determine whether they were going to actually gain the upper hand in this fight. While Abel alone had the ability to handle two to three Mad knights at once, they would then have the ability to deal with a total of eight Mad knights.

As they were still talking, the door to the valley castle opened. That was when the eight Mad knights walked out in a formation.

The leading knight laughed out loudly, “Wizard Davy, good day to you! We’ve been good friends for years, haven’t we? We know so much about each other, and what’s this? That’s all the people you’re bringing to fight me? You’re disrespecting me!”

While his voice was still very far away, the wizards could still be heard below the mountain.

Wizard Davy’s laughter cracked through the sky, “YOU should be the one that needs to be careful, Knight Tanten! What if you can’t return to that evil god of yours today? Have a think about that!”

Knight Tanten changed his expression immediately, “Who are you to talk about our god like that?”

He swung his arms and unleashed eight Mad knights to rush down towards the mountain without saying more.

Wizard Davy commanded softly, “All advanced wizards out! Master Bennett, watch for the right timing to call out Frankenstein and the Beamon giant beast!”

The 15 advanced wizards didn’t say anything regarding that. They knew that they weren’t supposed to be interfering in a battle of this scale. So far, their sole purpose was to target sacred knights of intermediate to advanced rank. Since it was up to the law-defying wizards to deal with the Mad knights, they immediately tried to draw their distance after activating the “instantaneous movement.”

Yes, they had a lot of experience in combat. They knew what the right distance was to dodge the attacks and counterattack. It was the whole reason Wizard Davy brought them here. Actually, this was just what all the law-defying wizards would do. Having their comrade advanced wizards participating in missions on the front line would increase their overall chance of promoting themselves.

It wasn’t very often on the frontline that they’d see a major conflict between the law-defying wizards and the Mad knights. There was not a single advanced wizard that wanted going to miss out on this. The chance of getting involved in a dirty fight just wasn’t that high.

Abel watched as the eight Mad knights “charged” right over. The law-defying wizards didn’t seem to want to close in on the valley castle as well, so they all waited right where they were to prepare for the Mad knights to come to them. There was a distance of five miles. As the eight shadows rushed downward with their “charge,” it didn’t take much time at all for them to be closing into melee range.

So the distance between the two sides was just one “charge” apart. That’s when Abel started generating a black hole out of nowhere. Frankenstein just appeared beside him with the Beamon giant beast. They were already notified about what was going on outside, and as soon as they knew it was time for a fight, they immediately got themselves ready.

Frankenstein was already finished casting the defensive spell this. Of course, from Abel’s understanding, not having any might even still be enough to break through its thick metallic body for defense. He knew that very clearly. All these methods he tried on Wizard Malon didn’t do anything to him, so he knew how tough it’d be to try dealing any direct damage to Frankenstein.

Doff readied itself quite quickly. It lifted its giant pole and teleported upward straight towards the sky. After letting out a scream, they disappeared in the air and landed right on top of the heads of the eight Mad knights. One attack hit the heads of three of them. It kind of just showed how wide Doff’s attack range was.

So that was eight Mad knights in total. None of them could imagine what creatures would want to engage directly against them. They had already formed a small-sized battle formation by this time. While it wasn’t as strong as one produced by several thousand sacred knights, it was still possible to hold things in place with a simple power pile-up.

The three Mad knights already had shields on top of their hands. They weren’t going to take their swords to match the giant sticks because they knew that they’d be without any weapon if they did that. It was just that obvious. Whatever Doff’s giant stick was made out of, they all knew that it was not made with ordinary methods. These Mad knights had no choice but to block with their shields, but even that was not enough. Basically, apart from the devastating physical damage, it could deal with its arm swing. The Beamon giant beast also possessed the special ability to repel any attack against the opponent.

Clang.

After pausing in the air for a while, Doff was repealed in the opposite direction. Three out of the eight Mad knights had their shins decimated on the spot. Their bodies were planted right into the ground as Doff got them in immediately. Meanwhile, without sending a command to attack, Wizard Davy prepared for the Mad knight to close in a bit more. There was something he didn’t realize, however. Abel started the fight right after he called the Beamon giant beast out. He was the only one who’s too slow to follow because Doff and the Mad knights already had themselves ready before he did anything for support.

Not Frankenstein, though. As the third creature Abel called out was the “grey bear,” as soon as it appeared, Frankenstein disappeared and appeared right on Doff’s shoulder. A hood and wide robe covered his body, and there were obviously other gears inside. As soon as Frankenstein landed on Doff’s shoulder, a sword and one shield were what appeared in his hands. This was when Frankenstein went all out. With “blizzard” in one hand and the “ice seal sphere” in another, he started unleashing an endless streak of offense against the eight Mad knights that were below.

The whole reason why law-defying wizards were so powerful was because of their understanding of the elements. Their knowledge made them have better-increased power-ups of spells. Take Frankenstein. Despite just being at rank 21, the gear buffs provided a total of seven ranks promotion of “command freezing.” That, combined with the “command freezing” that belonged to himself, the spell was elevated to a total of rank 11. Together, these add-ons provided a total of 70% resistance to elements. Not just that, the “blizzard” and “ice-freezing ball” he cast would be around rank 27 in total. That was considered remarkable in any case, mainly because for rank 23, they could no longer go past rank 20 after they’ve matched a certain level.

Anyways, now that Frankenstein had spells that could match the prowess of law-defying wizards ranged between rank 24 to 25, there were just not that many people who could match it on the frontline. That was not to say that the eight Mad knights gave too much attention to it, however. Their scan told them that the man in front of them was rank 21, and they weren’t going to respond to someone who was not an immediate threat.

It was a big mistake on their part, needless to say. By this time, the “ice freezing ball” had already flown between the eight Mad knights, creating a giant explosion of ice within an instance. The Mad knight’s face changed immediately after being hit by one. The ball’s attacking ability had obviously exceeded their imagination. Their formation was gone by this point, so it was up to the individual member to withstand the hits. Worse yet, because they underestimated the opponents’ strength, they didn’t use the “rescue” spiritual qi to increase their elemental resistance. Rather, they continued to persist with their “Mad” attacking spiritual qi and the “vitality” spiritual light ring, which was meant to increase overall speed and endurance.

Knight Tanten called out very loudly, “Retreat! Something’s wrong with this spell.”

Meanwhile, he backed away while he switched the “rescue” spiritual qi light ring on. Doff, and Frankenstein had disappeared by this point. They’ve already done all that they could to disrupt the Mad knights’ small-sized formation. They achieved what they were after. This was when Wizard Davy had responded quite quickly. With a scream, he and the other law-defying wizards teleported and went straight towards the Mad knights. They formed a simple quadrilateral formation as they were doing this. Meanwhile, all of their hands generated a “thunder lightning blizzard” spell, which had the ability to automatically attack all enemies for a persisting period of time.

The eight Mad knights were now separated into two groups. On one side, three Mad knights were hit by two freezing element spells. The frost speed-slowing already slowed down their movements, and they’ve already sustained a certain amount of damage at the same time. The other Mad knights only received damage from the “ice freezing ball.” The subsequent “blizzard” was flow enough to be avoided.

“Honor to our lord!”

The five of them screamed. Several types of spiritual qi were activated on each of them, and freezing energy continued to be channeled in the air around them. The “sacred freezing” had a very wide range, enough for Wizard Davy and the other four law-defying wizards to enter immediately. They teleported right to the side to block against the wave. Followed by that, they teleported themselves back to their original position. Eight spell runes appeared in their hands at the same time. The spell runes consisted of patterns for eight “lightning chains.”

The five Mad knights had their shields in front of them. They needed to rush to the side of the three Mad knights, and while they only sustained a light injury, the injury seemed like it was probably going to worsen.

Hiss.

The sky was filled with white lightning. Eight lightning chains were launched simultaneously. The “sacred freezing’ seemed like it was about to be unleashed again after the next wave. Again, the four law-defying wizards disappeared from their original position and dodged the wave. The five Mad knights formed a small squad to guard, and since the “charge” could only protect two of them, the lightning chains started dancing on the eight of them instantly. Luckily, as the damage was dispersed equally, none of them sustained any severe harm because of it.

Not for the Mad knight that was left alone, however. Even under the protection of the “rescue” spiritual qi ring, he was still in the state of being immobilized for a long period of time. At the same time, charcoal black appeared after their body was hit by lightning.

I was reincarnated into another world, and I’ve brought the Horadric Cube from Diablo II with me. Being a knight is cool and all, but being a wizard is pretty neat as well. So, which one will it be?
