Abe the Wizard - Chapter 382

Abel never felt this powerful before. On his way back to the Rogue Encampment, he realised he he left a deep footprint with each step he took. But, as he got closer, his steps became lighter again.

He was slowly grasping his new gained ability. By now, he no longer felt the suppression of the Dark World. It seemed as though it had already accepted his presence.

Back in the Rogue Encampment, Flying Flame was joyfully laying inside the intermediate mana gathering circle, bathing in the mana droplets. Black Wind was also sleeping, but Abel’s arrival had scared them wide awake.

Since they hadn’t seen their owner for days, Black Wind immediately ran towards Abel and started complaining while Flying Flame looked suspicious at its owner’s changes.

Previously, Abel only had the scent of a dragon in his soul, but now the scent was spread through it his body. He was basically like a human dragon.

No human or any intelligent being had ever combined with a dragon core before. It’s force was too vicious. Abel was only able to do it since his soul had unexpectedly combined with the energy of a dragon before, but no one knew what would happen to him afterwards.

Abel realized the reason Flying Flame looked suspicious after he connected with it through the soul chain. Flying Flame told him that his entire body was filled with a dragon’s scent. Luckily, he hadn’t exited the Dark World yet. It might have caused chaos otherwise. Even a pseudo-dragon like Flying Flame had caused countless spiritual beasts to move away when it was passing through the Double Moon Forest.

He then ignited the transformation necklace with his power of the will, and all of a sudden, his dragon scent had vanished.

Although Abel was now an official Wizard, he still hadn’t gotten the rank 6 Wizard pattern. On paper, he was still not a rank 6 Wizard, but he didn’t think it would take long. He just needed to learn some official Wizard spells.

Abel needed to learn these 5 spells: ‘Inferno, Static Field, Telekinesis, Ice Nova, and Ice Blast’ as a beginner Wizard, and they were all documented in the book Wizard Morton had given him. He had used Inferno and Telekinesis through a magic staff before, so he was very confident about those.

Back in the Holy Continent’s Lila valley, Bartoli had already got breakfast ready while she was waiting for Abel to show up, but today he was late.

She felt happy these days. Although she hadn’t begun to fit into this world, she sensed that it was very peaceful compared to the suffocating Dark World. In this world, she felt alive.

Since she had escaped from hell, she needed to eat again. Her dry and forgotten taste buds could enjoy food once again. And although she couldn’t change her altered body, she could still stay alive as long as she kept replenishing her energy.

She had thought escaping the control hell would stay a dream, but now she had not only escaped, but she had also left that scary world. Although hell had left that place long ago, its traces still remained.

She finally felt human once again. She could make breakfast under the sunlight in the morning. Although the view was nothing extraordinary, it was still the most beautiful thing to her. The surrounding rocks just put a smile on her face.

When Bartoli saw Abel coming out of the portal, she stepped up and bowed, “Master, you are back!”

“Bartoli, thank you so much!” Said Abel in an extremely joyful mood.

For these few days in the dark world, Abel had formed a rank 6 wizard pattern in his wizard core as well as learning the spells Inferno, Telekinesis, Static Field, Ice Nova, as well as Ice Blast. To him, the more spells he knew, the better. He only needed to unleash the spell once, and it would appear on Skill Tree in his Horadric Cube. Then the next time he needed to use the spell, he would just need to ignite the Skill Tree.

Most importantly, he could now use the Fireball on his Leaf magic Staff after becoming a rank 6 wizard. He no longer had to worry about losing control from using a spell 2 ranks above him.

He achieved his goal, so he was ready to leave this place after he finished his breakfast. Just when he was about to let everyone know, Bartoli stepped up and handed him some lambskin parchments.

These past few days, Bartoli had written down the knight inheritance she remembered from long ago, “Master, this is my husband’s knight inheritance. Please examine it!”

“A Knight inheritance!” Abel took the parchments from Bartoli, but he actually didn’t care about these knight inheritance too much. He knew there weren’t any knights in the Dark World, only Holy Knights, the ones that use religion as their weapons.

The parchments were tightly filled with the methods of knight training. There was a lot of basic sword skills and footwork. However, the knight’s breathing technique was much more advanced than the one Abel had practiced in the past.

The breathing technique allowed a knight to grasp a little bit of mana from the Dark World. But still, this mana was nothing compared to other occupations that used magic, such as wizards.

Since Abel had now reached the pinnacle for a knight, these skills wouldn’t be that useful.

He didn’t need the knight breathing to gain combat qi since he could absorb it from his enemy, and he didn’t need to get mana from this low level formula either.

However, when Abel arrived at the last parchment, his face changed. The last 2 knight secret techniques documented were beyond his expectations.

‘Shield attack’. This ordinary sounding technique was exactly how it sounded. It could knock someone down with a shield.

The best thing about this technique was that it could knock the attacker unconscious by forming a pattern on top of the shield through combat qi. This was no longer a normal knight secret technique, and it could actually be practical for Abel.

Just imagine, if Abel could knock his enemy unconscious with one block, they would be defenseless for a while and he would have more than enough time to take their lives.

‘Acceleration’

When Abel saw this technique, he could help but remember Head Commander Hoover’s scary speed. This technique allowed a knight to speed in front of the enemy and unleash a vicious attack.

Acceleration had always been the most powerful technique of a knight, and this technique, With the same name, was just this. He could accelerate in front of his enemy with lighting speed and unleash a life taking blow.

Originally, Abel thought he would need to sacrifice something to learn this from Head Commander Hoover, but seemed like he no longer had too. It was too easy.

Now Abel also remembered that a female elite had used ‘Acceleration’ to attack the Countess in the Forgotten Tower. Abel was confused at the time, but now he realized it was actually the Countess’ inheritance.

Still, both these techniques required mana, so Abel was still confused about what was the force behind Head Commander Hoover’s ‘Acceleration’ technique.

The ‘shield attack’ would take up 1 point of mana for every use, and the ‘acceleration’ would take up 9 points—almost nothing to a wizard, especially an official wizard whose body had been altered by a dragon core. Abel basically had more than a thousand points of mana; a mere level 14 ‘Warmth’ could replenish it instantly.

A normal knight wouldn’t have any mana. Maybe a head commander could somehow attain some, but Abel didn’t think they would have a lot. Just like this Dark World inheritance had stated, the mana a knight could obtain was extremely small.
