Chapter 1420: Level-Up!
Translated by Jim
Edited by RED
The guests who arrived first were all close friends of Abel, but even more forces began to gather as time went on.
The Wizard Union was powerful, but they didn’t want to offend Abel, either. Therefore they couldn’t just reject the dwarves’ invitation.
After all, Abel was impossible to ignore in the central continent!
After taking over the dwarves, Abel now had the dwarves, Barbarians, tauren, and the dragons on his side. Not to mention, he was very close with the elves, as well!
He was basically well-connected to every race other than humans!
With such a big network, no one would disregard the possibility that Abel would one day take over the Wizard Union, even if it might seem impossible right now.
Since the Furnace Fort became the Mountain G.o.d’s territory, no G.o.d Rank would step foot there, which was why only the Half-G.o.d Gold Dragon Kemble had shown his face and attended King Yoby’s coronation ceremony.
Just as they expected, the Wizard Union did not send anyone to attend, which was great news. Although everyone who attended knew the Wizard Union would find out, it would not be as awkward as dealing with them face to face.
—
There was someone with a special status among the dwarves, and that was Bernie.
As a good friend of Abel, he had attracted a lot of attention. When the ceremony was coming to an end, a dwarf Headmaster called on him and granted him the status of a Dwarf Elite.
Bernie was extremely excited, as this status would bring a lot of benefits for his family.
He thought he had reached the high point of his life, but soon he was called up again, this time by Wizard Hutton.
As Bernie’s teacher, he didn’t care what status Bernie had, he just didn’t want Bernie to get overly consumed by power. The kind gesture from King Yoby might end up leading Bernie down the wrong path and ultimately jeopardizing his relations.h.i.+p with Abel.

Abel did not join the ceremony. The main reason was because he promised to not get involved with the dwarves, the second was because training was more important.
At that moment, Abel was in the Golden Castle’s training area with a river of mana gus.h.i.+ng in.
Since he was in Doff’s faithful ground, Doff lavishly directed Faith to the Golden Castle, which was then condensed by the Mana Gathering Circle.
Abel was surrounded by his three Territories, which were all filled from the time he had spent in the Dark World.
However, he was still worried about leveling up in the Dark World, considering how little he could move in that dimension, so he had returned to the Golden Castle.
He thought about letting a Half-G.o.d or G.o.d Rank Summon level-up in the Dark World before him to see if it worked, but that probably wouldn’t happen for another ten or twenty years.
Mana gathered as he sat quietly in the training room. His body was fully relaxed and his heart was focused on his three Territories of Laws.
Leveling-up was not as simple as giving it a thought. Many Half-G.o.ds would be stuck at a fulfilled state for ten years, a hundred years, or even for eternity.
But Abel was confident because of one thing: his Druid Soul!
Ever since it had created the angel avatar, it kept growing stronger,”Search our nℇwn0Ʋel.ϴrg” and finally it had the power to rule.
Considering his time in the Dark World, the angel avatar had more than ten years to grow, and it also kept getting nourishment from the Holy Kingdom,
Abel’s Druid Soul had reached G.o.d Rank because of it, so forcing a level-up as a Half-G.o.d shouldn’t be a problem.
It seemed like the ma.s.sacres unleashed by Thief G.o.d Milton were finally paying off, and Abel’s Territories of Laws were growing healthily as well!
He never showed his own power since his enemies were all G.o.d Ranks, but they would all be shocked if they actually saw his Territories. They were all glowing with a warm and peaceful Aura, unlike normal Territories.
His Lightning Territory did not have lightning strikes, his Ice Territory did not have blizzards, and his Fire Territory was not engulfed in flame.
Instead, they all looked the same from the outside, which made them even scarier!
It was a treasure, yet it was a pity that he never got the chance to use them in the central continent and he couldn’t use them in the Dark World.
As he kept thinking, a level-up energy suddenly gushed out from his body.
His body was completely bathed in energy now, which was already beyond the limit of normal Half-G.o.d wizards.
His strength has grown tremendously since the last time he had leveled- up, and his battles in the Dark World reflected it. Even when more powerful h.e.l.l creatures appeared suddenly, he wouldn’t feel the need to run away, and he could easily use a charge or s.h.i.+eld strike to counter their attacks.
Of course, he could do this in the central continent as well, but only to enemies below G.o.d Rank.
His biggest pity was that no one in the central continent was treating him like a Half-G.o.d, and his enemies were all Half-G.o.ds, so he never got the chance to even make a move himself.
It had been a long time since he even did anything personally. It was not because he didn’t want to, but because it would be suicide to do so!
The body was not the only thing getting strengthened in a level-up. As the energy kept rus.h.i.+ng in, his soul and Power of the Will also began to grow.
After the level-up ended his Power of the Will grew by a thousand meters. That meant he had a range of four thousand meters now. With the Crown of the G.o.ddess of the Hunt, he would have a range of eight thousand meters!
He had no intention to return the Crown to the G.o.ddess of the Hunt. To her it was just another Relic, but to wizards, her Crown could basically double their power!
It was a pity that almost everything in the G.o.ddess of the Hunt’s Kingdom had been destroyed, which meant the technique to make another Crown might be lost forever with her soul. Abel had looked through the records in her G.o.dhead and not found anything.
Little did Abel know, back then every G.o.d knew a huge war with the Wizard Union was imminent and the G.o.ddess of the Hunt realized how beneficial her Crown would be to wizards. She had deliberately abandoned it in the subcontinent while wiping out most records about it in the central continent.
When she finally lost the war, she even wiped out the record she had in her G.o.dhead, which was why Abel had not found anything about it.
After all, just imagine how scary it would be if a G.o.d Rank wizard could easily double their Power of the Will!
The most effective battle technique of a wizard was. .h.i.t and run, and it was only possible because of their Power of the Will, so of course every wizard would go crazy for the Crown.
Because of that, it had created an opposite effect and everyone who had used it kept it a top secret.
Even in the Holy Continent it had been pa.s.sed down in mysterious ways, and had finally ended up in the hands of Abel.
Such thoughts flashed in Abel’s head for a split second before he returned to what he was doing. By that point his three Territories had all turned into liquid and fused with his Power of the Will, mana, and laws.
His strengthened Power of the Will turned into three brushes and began to absorb the liquid as they drew out three new Rank 32 Wizard Patterns.
As the Wizard Patterns formed, the Seeds of new laws were created in his Territories and quickly began to grow.
“Level-up done!” Abel mumbled to himself with a smile.
The level-up was done, but he still had to let his three Territories mature.
Since the laws in his Territories had turned into Seeds, their power had actually decreased. Still, this would only last for a short time and then would grow even stronger than before.
It was normal, which was why most Half-G.o.ds would spend a long time in seclusion after their level-up.
However Abel was not planning to do so. No other Half-G.o.d would ever come to fight him, after all.
The size of his Territories had increased from six thousand meters to eight thousand meters.
He didn’t know much about other Half-G.o.ds’ Power of the Will. He had only seen a few of them and the differences between them could be huge.
Taking Gold Dragon Kemble as an example, his range was more than ten thousand meters! But Half-G.o.d knight Carlo only had three thousand meters of range.
Of course, that might have been because Gold Dragon Kemble was a dragon with a powerful body.
Each Half-G.o.d’s Territory was their ultimate secret, so there was not much data Abel could draw from unless he actually fought with them.
