Chapter 649 Attacked
The blazing sun s.h.i.+ned upon the orc battlefield, taking away some of its built-up eeriness. Abel sat on a chair at the tip of a mountain, overlooking the land.His mount wolf king laid on the ground quietly beside him. Although it looked like it was resting, Abel could tell that it was constantly alert just by looking at its ears.
Abel did not just sit there and do nothing. He had his Ankara pen in one hand and a crystal core in another. He was making a rune card.
Since he was caught up yesterday afternoon, he did not complete his rune card making mission this month. So he had to catch up today.
The only thing that it looked quite strange for someone to casually make rune signs on the orc battlefield.
After Abel completed a rune card, he looked around and sighed, “What are those orcs doing. I’m just sitting here waiting for them. Are they blind?”
Just then, a team of 20 wolf riders came to a halt a few miles from Abel. Their mount wolf smelled something odd, so they quickly retracted their tail.
A head wolf rider captain saw his mount wolf’s reaction, so he lowered his voice “head down. Call the others. He found the mount wolf king, and that wizard is just beside it. Tell them to hide!”
“Captain, why do we have to keep our head down. Why are we afraid of a single human wizard with all our men?” A wolf rider captain asked. He wasn’t up to date on what had happened recently.
“He is a G.o.dly archer. He had wiped out a team of 1000 all by himself, and I heard he even killed 20 intermediate priests. Do you want to die as well?” The head wolf rider captain said helplessly.
Abel had just come to this place in the morning, and it had already become a forbidden place for the orcs without him even noticing it. What he had done was way too scary, to the point where even the orcs had lost the confidence to fight him.
If you initiate a fight with someone of similar strength, that was called bravery. But if you initiate a fight with someone from a totally different league, that was call suicide!
Even vicious, bloodthirsty orcs would not give their lives away for no reason without knowing their enemy. He was not the only human on the orc battlefield anyway, and they could get their war glory somewhere else.
Abel sat at the top of the mountain. He was acting as bait, but he didn’t know all the fishes had already been scared away by his mount wolf king.
The scent of mount wolf king was extremely strong to mount wolves. Since it was at the tip of a hill, it’s scent could travel extremely far along with the wind.
As he took out another crystal core, he suddenly sensed great danger. His mount wolf king viciously lifted its head.
The crystal core and Ankara pen vanished from his hand as the Iron sword, and Ancient Pledge s.h.i.+eld emerged.
But just as he was putting on his gears, a beam of white light flashed beside him. An intermediate wizard appeared with a mocking smile on his face as he ignited a readily drawn spell pattern on his magic staff.
“Ice pole!” Abel knew what this spell pattern was at first glance.
Wizard Amos had appeared all too sudden. Abel didn’t even have time to jump on his mount wolf, and he was attacked.
Abel only had time to change his iron sword into the Jade Tan Do and block with his Ancient Pledge s.h.i.+eld before the ice poles struck upon it.
‘Ice pole’ was an extremely scary ice spell. It was one of the most popular choices for intermediate wizards to kill their enemy quickly.
It had a high success rate, so an intermediate wizard who could unleash a spell like this could often end up with a frozen dead body of their enemy.
This spell could freeze your enemy dead and blast them into pieces. Even if someone had managed to survive the first strike, what awaited them would often be another spell attack that directly blasts their body into pieces of ice.
The only downside of this spell was it’s speed. Therefore, Wizard Amos had drawn the spell pattern first before he flashed beside Abel.
This method of preserving a spell pattern and igniting it at the right time was a spellcasting technique to replicate immediate spell casting. This way, the spell could just emerge in a flash before the enemy had time to react.
This is why wizard Amos had that mocking smile on his face. If an attack like this had landed on a beginner wizard without defence, they would basically be dead 100% of the time.
The silvery-white smog of the ice pole landed on Abel’s s.h.i.+eld, but wizard Amos couldn’t care less. A spell like an ice pole was unable to counteract, it’s effect was effective on the entirety of its target.
If you blocked it with a s.h.i.+eld, you would just get frozen along with your s.h.i.+eld and blast into pieces together.
Abel felt a bone s.h.i.+vering chill coming from his s.h.i.+eld, but it was weakened a lot by the 43% ice resistance on his Ancient pledge.
However, a frozen effect could not be counteracted just by ice resistance, where his Jade Tan Do showed its power. Strange energy emerged from it and defused the last bit of chill.
Abel then viciously struck out his Jade Tan Do. This stab was extremely quick and arrived in front of the scattered ice armour of wizard Amos.
As soon as this happened, Abel felt another virus chill emerging. However, it had been slowed down by his Jade Tan Do again. Wizard Amos quickly turned into a white light and flashed away.
Wizard Amos was confused. Abel was a beginner wizard; how come his strike was ineffective? He already did a lot of research on Abel beforehand to make this decision.
A G.o.dly archer skilled in the sword made Wizard Amos believe that Abel was not too good at defence. So all he needed to do was to attack Abel by surprise.
At first, he thought just this strike would be able to finish Abel off. Then he could just take his portal object from the ice mush and walk off.
However, his strike was ineffective, but Abel had also attacked him back with his sword. He heard about the horror of Abel’s sword, so he wasn’t ready to risk it even with a high-level defence like a scatter ice armour.
He flashed away and decided to have a proper wizard battle with Abel.
Abel was furious. It had been a long time since someone had attacked him like this, and he could recognise that wizard was wizard Amos.
Attacking another human on the orc battlefield. “What a disgrace!” Abel had his eyes fixed on wizard Amos 20 meters away and said in a low voice.
“Give me the orc battle drum and orc tooth, and I’ll keep your body intact when you die!” Wizard Amos couldn’t care less about what Abel said, biting back.
“Intermediate wizard Amos. I’ll give your family a taste of my fury for what you’ve done today!” Abel said as his power of the will began to focus on Wizard Amos. The entire world began to get slow; even his own words began to drag out.
“Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Why can’t I pay for what I’ve done?” Wizard Amos let out a laugh. A beginner wizard had threatened his family?
“Because you are already on your way to h.e.l.l!” Abel in a low voice. He sounded extremely confident.
At the same time, Abel had connected with the Miracle Spirit through his military card.
“Miracle Spirit, I’ve just been attacked by Wizard Amos!” Abel sent out the message. He didn’t want support; he just wanted to declare that he was doing self defence.
He wasn’t afraid of an intermediate wizard; he was just worried that the Miracle City would blame him for murdering an intermediate wizard and kick him out of the battle of the orcs mission.
“K3516. You can defend all you want. The Miracle City has no responsibility for deaths in the orc battlefield!” The Miracle replied very quickly, lifting the last bits of Abel’s worry.
A cold smirk emerged from Abel’s face under his mask, and a strand of golden combat transferred into his Jade Tan Do and Ancient Pledge in the most mysterious way.
