Chapter 197
Let The Revenge Begin
Abel put away his barrier circle and began to summon White Cloud through the soul chain. Suddenly, a huge sound of wind blowing came from the sky and stopped after a quick moment. At first, Abel did not see a single thing, but then White Cloud appeared by his side, intentionally making it’s “Goo Goo” sound.
Abel could see that White Cloud had gotten a lot more intelligent. It was now a lot more like a child than a machine developed by the orcs. Although it could still exchange emotions with Abel in the past, it had never expressed a sense of ego.
Abel was very happy for White Cloud because of this. He rarely had any real friends due to his secrets and high status, so he didn’t want slaves that did whatever he said. Not to mention friends that Abel could have deep conversations with, there was almost none. Therefore through the soul chain, White Cloud and Black Wind had become his best friend and partner. White Cloud’s increase in intelligence could add some new color to his life, as well as making White Cloud in the sky.
“Black Wind!” Abel called. With a jump, he had already landed on the seat on the back of White Cloud’s neck. He no longer needed a seat belt with his current riding skills.
In a flash of light, Black Wind had also appeared on the back of White Cloud. It seemed like Black Wind was also obsessed with its new ability.
“Black Wind, preserve your ability today. I need you to be in your best condition when helping me!” Abel turned around and said to Black Wind through the soul chain. Although Black Wind’s new ability was very powerful, it could only be used 2 times before it needs an hour of rest. Therefore, Black Wind’s ability should only be used in the most crucial moments.
“White Cloud, let’s go!” Said Abel as he lightly padded white cloud’s feather. Then, he sent a map of the Duchy of Keyen with markings on it to White Cloud through the soul chain.
White Cloud’s ma.s.sive wings began to flock and lifted itself off the floor. As it continued to flock faster, they sped towards the sky. In almost no time, they had reached the clouds, and the flight had stabilized. It seemed like White Cloud had gotten a lot faster after the increase, each flock was clearly getting more powerful.
As Abel was sitting on White Cloud’s neck, the ma.s.sive Wind blew towards him so hard, and he could not even open his eyes. Just when he was about to take out his flying goggles, a strange protective layer began to surround White Cloud. This was White Cloud’s new ability after the increase. From what Abel could see so far, it at least had the ability to become invisible and protect against the wind.
They spent a large half of the day flying, from Duchy of Carmel, pa.s.sing through the Duchy of Koror. In the end, they arrived at the Duchy of Keyen. Abel ordered White Cloud to fly towards the Rocky Canyon according to the marking on the map. It was around 100 miles from the Wizard Union branched headquarters.
The Rocky Canyon’s terrain seemed very dangerous, Abel could see the 6 magic towers from afar. They were standing on a giant rock peeking out from a cliff of the valley, like the beak of an eagle.
This place was the pride of the Duchy of Keyen. The giant rock that looked like the beak an eagle was what attracted the wizards to build their magic towers here at first sight. They thought it signified the Duchy of Keyen’s rise in power. A rock of this size was very rare, and it looked like a giant guarding over the Duchy of Keyen. On top of that, the eagle beak looking peak gave the place a unique character. Therefore as time pa.s.sed, more and more magic tower was built here. It was right; the Duchy of Keyen really was slowly getting on the path to becoming a powerful Duchy.
Abel’s gaze fixed on the 6 magic tower down below. The 12 stories one was most likely belong to dark wizard Ston. Although Ston had already been labeled as a dark wizard by the Wizard Union, his magic tower would still be preserved as long as he was still alive.
That 11th story magic tower most likely belonged to the only intermediate wizard left in the Duchy of Keyen. That magic tower was Abel’s exact target. Abel was thinking about how he should destroy this magic tower. When he was observing the terrain from a birds-eye view, he suddenly had a brave idea.
At first, Abel was planning to sneak next to the magic tower, put down his super bomb, escape along the edge of the valley with the speed of Black Wind, and at the end, fly away with the wings of White Cloud.
However, if Abel had been spotted by the intermediate wizard during any of these steps, he would be very hard to escape. This was the main reason he had increased his const.i.tution for so much. He should be fine as long as he could survive 1 or 2 attacks from the intermediate wizard and successfully fly away with White Cloud.
But now, Abel had changed his plan. An even grander plan appeared in his mind. As long as he could succeed, the Duchy of Keyen’s power would decrease dramatically. After that, the Duchy of Keyen would get what they deserve for what they had done to both Abel and Wizard Yveline.
The 6 magic towers had been specifically placed to form the shape of a 6 corner star. If these 6 magic towers were working probably, they would form a giant magic circle surveilling the surrounding. This included the sky, ground, and underground. But since the main 12 story magic tower was not generating any energy, this magic circle was useless.
This gave Abel a chance to get close to the magic towers. He should be fine in places 1 mile from the magic towers.
All kinds of plants were slowly growing upwards along the mud of the giant rock. This gave Abel a cover as he rode Black Wind towards the direction of the cliff.
He had already gained a good idea of the terrain when he was flying up above, so Abel found his first spot around 1 mile from the magic towers on the cliff.
First, he needed to set up a barrier circle. The mana wave produced by a barrier circle was extremely small, so it should attract the attention of the magic tower. Actually, since one of the magic towers was not in operation these days, the surveillance circle of the magic towers was not open at all. If they wanted to change up the circle, they needed the help of the Wizard Union, and that would take up a lot of time as well.
After the barrier circle was set up, Abel took out the sword of victory. He began to dig, and all the soil was thrown into his portal bag.
When the tip of the blade made contact with something hard, he knew he had reached the rock. However, he did not stop. Instead, he heated up the surface of the rock with a fire rune sign. Afterward, he quickly cooled it down with an ice rune sign. The surface of the rock began to crack, so he immediately surrendered his sword of victory with his golden combat qi and continued to dig. The sword of victory was a lot sharper than normal swords. On top of that, with the help of combat qi and the rune signs, his digging speed was not unbearable.
Both rune signs and magic swords were extremely expensive, but now Abel was using it to dig dirt.
Bit by bit, Abel continued to dig down. After 5 hours, he successfully dug a 10 meters hole on the surface of the rock. The last bit of the hole was very small. It was specifically designed to fit a super exploding ball.
Abel put away the barrier circle. He then set it up again in a spot around 100 meters from his original spot. Then, he started to dig again.
Midnight had arrived. Abel had dug 4 deep holes under the core of the eagle beak looking giant rock, and each spread out around 100 meters. Every hole was dug in secret, and they were very hard to spot for wizards. There was a main road for the wizards to enter the front gate of the magic towers, so they would rarely go into the bush.
Early the next morning, when the just had just came up, Abel had shook up Black Wind and told White Cloud to get ready through the soul chain.
Abel sat on the back of Black Wind holding his magic cane. This magic cane was the one with the ‘spirit transfer’ ability.
“Black Wind, full speed!” Abel shouted. He focused with all his will. At this moment, everything seemed to have slowed down.
How fast was Black Wind? After undergoing 2 rank increase, people could only see a flicker of a black shadow if Black Wind was running at full speed in front of them.
When he was10 meters from the first hole, Abel took out 2 super exploding b.a.l.l.s from his personal storage box. At the same time, he took out the metal guards from his Kong Kong spirit portal bag to block out the hole.
These 2 actions almost happened simultaneously. The weak little soul was responsible for taking the super exploding ball out of the personal storage box and taking the metal guards from the Kong Kong spirit portal bag. Therefore, all the main soul had to do was to use it.
‘Spirit transfer’ to place the super exploding b.a.l.l.s at the bottom of the hole and block it out with the metal guard.
The 2 souls work with each other very well. Just like that, they perfectly fine filled up the first hole on the intense stride of Black Wind.
