Abe the Wizard - Chapter 1445

“Wizard Dubois, is there really no room for negotiation?” Abel asked through Thief supreme-ruler Milton.

“You think I’m stupid? Don’t even think about asking those supreme-ruler Ranks outside to save you, I will kill you before they even get close!” Wizard Dubois stated grimly.

But he was also confused, wondering why Thief supreme-ruler Milton wasn’t even a little bit nervous.

“Wizard Dubois. I was originally not planning to kill any wizards unless they asked for it!” Thief supreme-ruler Milton replied.

“What do you mean!?” Wizard Dubois snarled, unleashing his energy before Thief supreme-ruler Milton could even react.

Or at least, that’s what he thought.

Before he could even Summon his World for an attack, he felt his body go numb.

“You…” he lifted his finger and mumbled, because that was the most he could do.

“Wizard Dubois, you talk too much!” Thief supreme-ruler Milton shook his head.

Sitting on his open hand was an opened crystal glass.

It was the Dark Gold Poison. Due to the special nature of their environment, the poison could travel through air. It did not even need to make contact with Wizard Dubois to be effective.

Wizard Dubois was breathing in more scary poison with each breath, while Thief supreme-ruler Milton kept injecting himself with Full Recovery Potions through his Dark World Belt.

Wizard Dubois hadn’t had the slightest idea about what was happening.

Abel had prepared this after he became suspicious. After all, the wizards were a cunning bunch!

However, this would not have worked if Wizard Dubois did not talk so much.

“You better learn your lesson in your next life!” Thief supreme-ruler Milton stepped forward and plunged his holy dagger into Wizard Dubois.

Wizard Dubois gazed at Thief supreme-ruler Milton in fury, but there was nothing he could do against the weak little supreme-ruler.

Indeed, Thief supreme-ruler Milton’s fighting skills wouldn’t even earn him the title of a supreme-ruler. Even a Half-supreme-ruler could easily kill him!

No matter how frustrated Wizard Dubois felt, he let out his last breath as the Dark Gold Poison penetrated his soul. His World turned into a glowing ball and shot away. Even though the area was bound by a special Magic Circle, the glowing ball disregarded the ceiling and continued on.

—-

“What’s that?” a wizard gasped.

“A supreme-ruler Rank died? Who?” another wizard yelled.

Since it was the Wizard Union Headquarters, most likely it was one of the supreme-ruler Rank Wizards, so everyone promptly paled.

—

The two supreme-ruler Rank Wizards also saw what happened and immediately knew it was Wizard Dubois, who was guarding the second underground level. The death of every supreme-ruler Rank was different, since the laws they trained in were different.

“Dubois!” one of the supreme-ruler Rank Wizards yelled as he tried to return to the Headquarters.

However, supreme-ruler Rank Six activated his Charge and Energy Aura and chased after him.

That supreme-ruler Rank Wizard had no choice. He couldn’t leave his comrade to fight four supreme-ruler Rank Knights alone, or else another supreme-ruler Rank might fall.

Neither supreme-ruler Rank Wizard surrendered, and instead their attacks grew even crazier while supreme-ruler Rank Six and the other knight Summons continued with their Formation.

—

Meanwhile, Thief supreme-ruler Milton took out an antidote and sprayed it around the air to clear out the poison.

Since it was his secret weapon, it was not wise to leave a trace behind!.

He then flew into the supreme-ruler-Binding Circle.

The method to open this Circle had been forbidden ever since it was built. Since the Wizard Union President did not want his wizards to approach the World Stone Heart, even the spent holy crystals were replaced by the Magic Circle.

But after days of analysis, Abel’s Magic Circle Spirit had finally found a way and the following steps were simple.

Thief supreme-ruler Milton arrived at a spot and gently tapped on the ground. Suddenly, a swirl of magic gushed out from the empty spot.

He tapped on the swirl gently and brought it to a halt. Soon, a Magic Board was exposed.

He quickly picked it up with his hands and connected to it.

It might have looked simple, but it needed extreme precision, since the supreme-ruler-Binding Circle could perfectly detect even the slightest mistakes!.

As its energy channels began to close, the supreme-ruler-Binding Circle dimmed, and finally the mighty Magic Circle was opened.

Thief supreme-ruler Milton arrived next to the first crystal coffin. The Divine Body within it looked just as good as new.

He ignited a Scroll of Town Portal and a portal door appeared.

In just five seconds, he pushed all twelve crystal coffins into it.

However, he did not stop there, because he still wanted Wizard Dubois’ body, and if he had time, he even wanted to take the supreme-ruler-Binding Circle itself!

He quickly put Wizard Dubois’ body, as well as the part of the supreme-ruler-Binding Circle into his portal bag. In just a minute, the second level under the Wizard Union Headquarters was completely empty.

The reason he wanted to take the supreme-ruler-Binding Circle with him was because after it had been turned off he realized it was entirely made out of Relic materials!

With such value, leaving it behind would pain him!

Afterwards, he sensed the area and noted the holy crystal barrier was about to disappear, so his four supreme-ruler Rank Knight Summons had to leave.

Thief supreme-ruler Milton had to go as well, so he took out another Scroll of Town Portal and entered the Dark World.

——

As the knights retreated quickly, the wizards tried to stop them, but it was hopeless, especially with supreme-ruler Rank Six’s Full Recovery Potions.

They also knew they had to find out what had happened under the Wizard Union. They just couldn’t believe Wizard Dubois had been killed…

—

Meanwhile, the fight in front of the Warding Wall had also ended, with Knight Marco and Knight Epstein returning to the Holy Kingdom after showing off their skills.

The knights knew they couldn’t leave the Holy Kingdom undefended for too long. As soon as they stepped through the Guardian Wings’ energy shield, all the knights cheered.

It was a huge celebration. The Howling Castle that had been annoying the Holy Kingdom has been destroyed once again!

—

“What?” It was at that moment that Wizard Smith received a message from the Wizard Union Headquarters, but it was too late.

“Wizard Coleridge, stay at the Warding Wall. Everyone else, come with me. Something happened to the Headquarters !” he shouted to the others.

Ten supreme-ruler Rank Wizards immediately teleported back, and soon sensed something that sent their hearts plunging.

The ten supreme-ruler Ranks looked up at the phenomenon in the sky and mumbled, “A supreme-ruler Rank has fallen!”

After the wizards returned, one of the Rank 38 Wizards on guard, Wizard Casper, appeared at their side.

“Who was it?” Wizard Smith asked in a shaky voice.

“Wizard Dubois, and his body was stolen!” Wizard Casper replied grimly.

“We should know who did it this time, right?” Wizard Smith asked, as all the wizards around him stayed silent, waiting.

Their trap had cost them another supreme-ruler Rank Wizard, so they needed a good answer!

“The Evil Kingdom!” Wizard Casper stated with certainty.

“Oh!” Wizard Smith let out a breath of relief, and continued, “Why are you so sure?

He knew very well both Abel and the Holy Kingdom would eventually go to war with the Wizard Union, but with the dragons’ involvement, the entire central continent would become their battlefield.

“I recognized the knight’s leader, Knight Harrison!” Wizard Casper declared confidently.

“Knight Harrison? No wonder he was not there today! But how did he travel so far?” Wizard Smith mumbled to himself while shaking his head.

“Maybe he went over the ocean. Since the dragons have increased their attention on the outer ocean, they might have decreased their attention on the Holy Kingdom!” Wizard McPhee added.

With the dwarves on the dragons’ side, the dragons had gained many more defensive fortresses for their explorations. Doing so, they might miss a few supreme-ruler Rank Knights sneaking out.

“Who killed Wizard Dubois?” Wizard Smith asked again.

He looked up at the sky. It wouldn’t be long until the whole continent knew another supreme-ruler Rank Wizard had sided. This would hugely impact their authority and power!

“I don’t know, as the killer was never seen, but DuBois activated the stone wall trigger before he was killed!” Wizard Casper replied.
