Chapter 1196 - Return Home
Abel let out a long breath of relief after becoming a rank 25 wizard. Although he was expecting to level up with the song of life after defeating Diablo, it was still like a dream to level up 2 times in a row.
Each level up required a tremendous amount of energy, so you could only imagine how many souls Diablo had locked up.
Abel looked around. The mountainous amounts of light gems in his holy portal bag were gone.
However, he did not feel bad. He was expecting to use them for his level up anyway.
As for top-level gems, he couldn"t care less. His Horadric cube could create as many as he wanted.
Since he was a rank 25 wizard, he was just a rank away from becoming legendary.
Abel was so happy he almost wanted to return to the Golden castle and celebrate with a huge meal, but too bad his 10 days in the Dark World had not ended.
He let out his angel body and operated with his human body.
He totally got a sense of its power during the battle with Diablo.
It could not only take Diablo"s attack head-on, but it also remained dominant when it came to speed.
It was the sole reason why Abel won.
And with his level up, he would be more confident even when the demon from beyond reawaken.
His human body reached into his holy portal bag and took out the Buriza-Do Kyannon for his angel body.
Afterward, he began training again. His sword skills had clearly become smoother, and each strike felt instinctive.
He knew his angel sword technique had leveled up, and he was very happy.
His human body rested, but his power of the will was still too excited to go to sleep.
The following days he continued his battle in Harrogate. There was no need to hide his angel body since he could let Doff the Beamon, Johnson, Jason, and Flying Flameout again.
It was just that Johnson and Jason lacked behind when it came to power. They would soon be obsolete if they continue to plateau in their process, but Abel had no idea how to help 2 stone giants anyway.
A stone giant"s power was determined by the materials they were made out of. Unfortunately, the only thing more powerful was ancient materials, and Abel didn"t know how to make them.
Suddenly, he thought of the dwarves. Maybe they had some information.
King Gunther must have done research into this.
Meanwhile, his angel body was unleas.h.i.+ng some scary archery skills.
Even with half the power, normal h.e.l.l creatures could not withstand more than a strike.
Especially with the piercing effect, those arrows were almost indestructible.
However, there was one problem. Those were the arrows Abel learned how to make as a knight in the Holy Continent.
They could only guarantee accuracy in a certain range, and it would be an even bigger challenge without the world stone. After all, he was not only after the power of a single strike. He needed to wipe out h.e.l.l by the ma.s.s.
Still, he was doing quite well with the Buriza-Do Kyannon already.
Before Abel left the Dark World, he hid his rank 25 wizard energy with his transformation necklace.
It was a good idea to battle for a few more days in the Dark World to let his energy settle.
He stepped into the blue portal and reappeared in his training room of the Gold Castle.
No one in the Central Continent could ever guess Abel had become a rank 25 wizard in just one night.
What he needed now was to gather light gems again. With the help of the intelligence fruit, he was confident that he could fulfill his rank 25 wizard patterns in a year or two.
Becoming a legend used to be out of the world, now it was almost at his reach.
He moved his power of the will and flashed into his battle fort on the Sat light protection circle.
The sun was still rising, and its beams were soothing in the eye as it covered the mist of the forest.
Abel felt his heart relaxing. It was exactly what he wanted after days of intense battle.
He took out a gla.s.s of water spirit fruit juice and formed a table on the battle fort as he admired the view.
"Research spirit, how many light gems do I have in the inventory?" Abel asked.
"Master, there are 1640 beginner light gems!" The research spirit replied.
Abel had used up all the light gems in his portal bag, but his golden castle still brought in a decent income with its meals.
Each meal cost 2 beginner light gems. With 3 meals a day and 10 guests each session, he could have 60 light gems a day.
After months of acc.u.mulation, he was happy about what he got.
At least he didn"t have to worry about training in the following few days. After he used them up, he would get more with his potions.
"Research spirit, bring me all of those light gems!" Abel commanded casually.
He was too lazy to even more after going through life and death in the Dark World.
"Yes Master!" The research spirit sounded, and a pile of light gems appeared on the short distance teleportation circle beside him.
He put them in his holy portal bag and began combining them into top-level light gems with his Horadric cube.
Just when he completed, the Research Spirit sounded again.
"Master, Sainte Lorraine wants to see you!"
Not many people know about his training schedule, but Lorraine was one of them.
"Lorraine"s here?" Abel stood up with a smile and regained his energy. He scanned the golden castle and directly teleported Lorraine in front of him with his power of the will.
"Abel!" She smiled.
Lorraine always kept a graceful appearance. It was only in front of Abel she could smile like a little girl.
"Lorraine, don"t you have cla.s.s today?" Abel wondered if Lorraine was skipping cla.s.s again.
After all, he knew there were no rest days for studying in the temple.
"No, I am here for a mission!" Lorraine padded her chest and said with confidence.
"Mission? What mission?" Abel laughed.
"Headmaster wants me to ask you for a favour. Big druid Amelia is fulfilled and she is now in retreat!" Lorraine said with her eyes wide open.
Although she did not explain much, Abel knew the intention of the temple. It was just that he said he would not help another big druid level up after Lorraine became an official Sainte.
"Abel, big druid Amelia is the most powerful druid. She is rank 24 and the only hope of us elves to become a legendary druid. Therefore, the headmaster wants your help again to maximise her chances!" Lorraine continued.
"Lorraine, did you say yes to the headmaster?" Abel smiled.
"I did not promise him, so you don"t have to if it"s too much of a bother!" Lorraine added gently.
Although Abel"s place was tight security, Lorraine still acted shy when she expressed her bias towards Abel.
"Lorraine, is there anyone mistreating you in the temple?" Abel couldn"t help but laugh again, seeing the cute look on Lorraine"s face.
"No, everyone is great to me!" Lorraine said happily.
"Then bring big druid Amelia to me!" Abel decided.
"You must use this chance to get some more rewards from the temple!" Lorraine gently suggested.
"Nothing matters as long as the temple is good to you!" Abel said.
Lorraine left with some dark gold lotions and conditioner. They were the finest work of Abel after he became a grandmaster alchemist.
Abel saw excitement beaming out of Lorraine"s eyes as she held those potions. It seemed like he would be expecting a big order from the temple soon.
However, as long as Lorraine was safe in the temple, he couldn"t care less.
At the end of the day, he was one of the reasons why Lorraine"s journey to becoming a Sainte was so smooth.
After 10 minutes, big Druid Amelia arrived at the Golden castle, and Abel did not let her wait too long in the hall.
"The great grandmaster Bennett, Amelia greets you!" Big Druid Amelia gave a big bow to show her respect.
"Big Druid Amelia. I"m happy to see you!" Abel smiled and bowed back.
He began to look up and down at this most powerful druid of the elves. She looked like she was only about 20 years old—no need to explain. Lorraine had given her some beauty potions.
After all, Abel did prepare a lot of potions for Lorraine.
Big Druid Amelia was not shy about hiding her rank 24 energy.
"I need to be frank with you. I can"t guarantee that the tree of life will keep helping druids level up, so just be prepared if it starts to reject!" Abel lowered his voice.
He was only a middle man and the supplier of gems.
The tree of life"s att.i.tude was the most important, and he didn"t know if the tree of life would continue to be nice to him.
Therefore if big druid Amelia was not the most powerful druid of the elves or Lorraine was not the one who asked Abel for the favor, Abel might have rejected it.
