Abe the Wizard - Chapter 375

The only crucial part of Johnson’s body was its head. Everything else was bound by a strange energy from its head. There was also a strange floating pattern inside its head. Abel focused his power of will on to it, and a message was reflected in his brain.

Johnson got the Mana Burn ability. It could target wizards since it could dramatically hit both a wizard’s attack and defense–especially in the Holy Continent.

Since there weren’t any mana replenishing potions around here, mana was precious to wizards. Once their mana was gone, they could no longer fight, so at that point, they were basically hopeless.

Johnson itself didn’t know it had become a wizard killer. All it knew was that it had gotten more powerful. This alone made Johnson very happy. Normally Took a long time for stone Giants to increase their ability since they could only gain the energy they needed through sleeping in stones.

Especially when it came to gaining a specific ability like this. This would normally only occur during a crucial level up. Since Johnson had lived in Lila Valley, he only experienced this kind of crucial level up once.

When it first awakened from its deep sleep, it was still a normal spiritual beast level rock. It only became an intermediate spiritual beast after countless years of training. This level up turned it into an official spiritual beast and gave it the ability to control other rocks. And, it could merge them into its body, which was quite rare since the other spiritual rocks could only have a little bit of control over other rocks at most.

Now he had gained another ability after just following its owner for a few short days. Johnson’s loyalty to Abel had deepened dramatically.

Next, Abel needed to examine some runes, and he didn’t want anyone to distract him. So he assigned all his summons with a task. “Johnson, you help guard the protection circle from outside. Bartoli, you control the protection circle. Everyone else, guard the protection circle from the inside!”

Johnson’s giant body gently bowed down with respect. It had just learned this from Bartoli. Afterward, it walked out of the protection circle under the Bartoli’s guidance and started to guard the circle.

Abel took out Akara’s Tent and walked inside. This tent was personally made by Akara. Other than being a portable accommodation, it had a full set of Alchemy equipment inside.

After using the tent countless times, Abel also realized it really helped with his concentration as an Alchemist.

This state of mind could dramatically increase the success rate and creativity of an alchemist, so Abel would go inside his Akara tent every time he needed to do important training or experiment.

He took out a compounded blue howling rabbit crystal core from his personal storage box. He was really to make a 8#al rune, the last one he needed for his rune word, Leaf.

The Rune world Leaf was made up of the 3#tir and 8#al rune. Since he had a power double socket magic staff, and the 3#tir rune, he just needed a 8#al rune and install the runes on to the magic staff in order.

Abel was familiar with the 8#al rune. Although the one on an actual rune was a little bit different from the one he knew how to draw, he was still very confident.

The dark gold blue howling rabbit crystal core he just took out was still in its silvery liquid form. First, he poured the liquid into the trapezoid shape mold he had prepared. Then, he waited for it to solidify for 2 hours.

He repeated this process 4 times and solidified 4 blue howling rabbit crystal cores. He needed to get the shape just right, so this could minimize his chance of failure.

Afterward, he needed to prepare the rune ink, which included some blue attribute-less rune ink, gold attributes-less rune ink, and dark gold attribute-less rune ink.

Although he had deeply examined the 3#tir rune and used the ‘soul potion’ to help him speed up the process, runes were still inherently a mysterious thing. Their formula had been lost, so Abel was not really satisfied with the knowledge he gained from it. So, it made sense to prepare so many powerful rune inks, especially since it was his first time making an actual rune.

Of course, Abel would use his Dark Gold Akara pen to help him draw the rune. It could correct him if he made a mistake, and played a huge role in Abel’s success in making magic gear.

While he waited for the crystal cores to solidify, he entered a room, within the Akara tent, and lay down on the meditation Jade tiles. He wanted to be in the calmest state possible before he started.

The rune word Leaf was the most suitable weapon for Abel to increase his power currently. Ever since he entered the Dark World, he wanted to make a Rune Word, but none of them ever came close.

If he knew the formula for making rune words, he could make even more powerful rune words. Maybe even those legendary immensely powerful gear.

Since this was crucial for his future, he needed to clear all his unnecessary thoughts before he began.

2 hours passed by in a flash, and Abel reopened his eyes with, filled with confidence. This conference came from his drawing experience, his powerful dark gold gears, and most importantly, his heart. If his past Blacksmith Master’s ability still held true, his current level was already miles ahead of any other Blacksmith Master.

He arrived in front of his alchemy bench and picked up one of the already solidified blue howling rabbit crystal cores. He expanded his power of the will and took out the 3#tir rune to compare it in detail to make sure its shape and materials of the base were the same.

Maybe back in the days before the Dark World was invaded by both heaven and hell, there were also some powerful spiritual beasts roaming around. He just didn’t know how those rune making masters back in the days got these materials. Did they combine it like Abel? Or those spiritual beasts were naturally born with an immensely powerful crystal? He didn’t think you would ever know.

Too bad Countess Bartoli wasn’t an alchemist. If she was, a large amount of lost Dark World alchemy formula would be revived again. Abel shook his head, trying to get the unrealistic thoughts out. Afterward, the rune base held all of his attention.

He picked up the Akara Pen with his right hand and secured the rune base with his left. Carefully, he dipped the pen in some blue attribute less rune Ink and began his first attempt.

8#al was the first rune Abel had learned how to draw, so he felt some bone-chilling familiarity with it. He began to draw, face filled with confidence. From start to finish, the Akara pen didn’t even need to correct him a single time.

This meant that Abel had drawn the rune perfectly. As soon as his rune pen made the last stroke, he locked on the rune base attentively.

The rune base remained still. It looked like nothing had changed, but Abel could sense the rune he just drew slowly merging with the base. After 30 seconds, they had fully merged together.
