Chapter 884: Thunder Ground
Abel put the mana cannon back in his Valaya’s ring with his power of the will and let Johnson recover its arm. From the outside, it looked like the mana cannon was destroyed.
This was what Abel wanted. He didn’t want others to know his mana cannon could be used an unlimited amount. If they did, the most powerful organizations would definitely try to investigate him.
Most importantly, what Abel had done was basically impossibly to archive without the personal storage box and the Horadric Cube. Unless he gave them, no one would be able to replicate it.
“Wizard Abel. You are the victim. Should we start killing the blizzards!” Wizard Hogg turned to Abel and asked.
“If Wizard Lucian suggested it, then let’s stop the fight!” Abel bowed and said.
It was not that he didn’t want revenge, but if a huge war like that broke out would most likely cost the Lightnings a lot. Only ten elite wizards from the Lightnings had come for the war, and there were hundreds of them in Frost City.
Also, Wizard Lucian had mentioned an even higher rank wizard in Frost City. The risk was too high.
“Wizard Abel, that is a good choice!” Wizard Lucian laughed and nodded.
As the Lightnings were about to leave, the roar of Elder Marz emerged from the city. “Wizard Hogg, you ruthless b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
“What’s up with him?” Wizard Hogg was a little shocked to hear Wizard Marz. Only the city protection circle and some buildings were taken out, but he sounded like he was in so much pain.
“WIzard Hogg, that strike was aimed at Frost City spirit!” Abel said gently.
“Wizard Abel, you really are ruthless!” Wizard Hogg couldn’t help but look at Abel in a new light. At first, he thought Abel was a young wizard who didn’t hold any grudges, but it seems like he had only stopped the war because he had gotten his revenge.
Frost City had taken a big hit. Its defense power was almost zero. Since the city spirit was destroyed, large amounts of data were lost. Chaos would break out in Frost City soon.
This was especially the case as the city spirit was in charge of every wizard’s credit points and the information for every member of an organization.
The destruction of the city spirit had cost the Blizzards. It was more serious than killing some of their elite wizards.
“Wizard Marz. Do you agree to stop the wizard war?” The voice of Wizard Lucian emerged from the sky again.
Headmaster Marz Turned to the other headmasters, and they nodded. Although his heart was burning in anger, he could only clench his teeth and yell, “Wizard Lucian, the Blizzards agree to stop the wizard war!”
“The wizard war between the Lightnings and the Blizzards now ended!” Wizard Lucian said loudly.
Wizard Jevos was filled with smiles up on the hill. He had placed a big bet on the city protection circle breaking, and only a few others did the same.
Most of them thought this wizard war would just be an ordinary one ending on both sides, draining resources.
No one expected a scary destroyer such as the mana cannon to be used in this run-of-the-mill battle and smash the city protection circle into pieces.
Wizard Jevos took his rewards with a heart filled with joy.
Although the others had lost some gems, they still witnessed a breathtaking battle. Seeing that mana cannon blasting through the protection circle definitely worth the gems they lost.
Soon, all the wizards on the hill began their discussion.
“Wizard Abel, stay with the Lightnings today!” Wizard said to Abel with a sincere look on his face.
He wasn’t too fond of Abel roaming around too much. He had only been in the Central Continent for a few days, and he had already become an unresolvable enemy of the blizzards.
Abel was too young. A genius like that needed to be protected and given a safe place to grow.
“It would be my honor, Wizard Hogg!” Abel smiled.
A powerful Wizard organization had stood up for him and offered him a safe place to grow. After experiencing what it was like to be suppressed by a rank 19 wizard, he gained more insight into his place in the world.
“Welcome, Wizard Abel!” Another elite wizard from the Lightnings stepped up and smiled.
Wizard Hogg also came to Frost City through the Ice Crown City teleportation circle, so he needed to go through Ice Crown City to leave as well. It was the closest big city after all.
Abel asked Wizard Hogg to wait for a moment as he came back to his courtyard and put away the double teleportation circle. It was supposed to be his final lifesaver, but he no longer needed to use it since the Lightnings had gotten involved.
That thing cost 4000 credit points, so he had to bring it along. Especially since that thing only had the range of 500 miles. It would be useless after that.
“Wizard Abel, our destination is the Thunder ground!” Wizard said in front of the teleportation circle and stepped in.
Abel followed, and his power of will focused on the Thunder ground, and the teleportation began.
When his foot touched the ground, a huge room in front of him, Wizard Hogg, was waiting by the side.
Abel could clearly sense the lightning elements in the atmosphere. He almost felt a little numb just by breathing.
Afterward, flashes of white lights emerged. The other elite wizards had also arrived.
“Wizard Abel, follow me. Let me register you!” Wizard Hogg said with a smile.
He respected Abel with all his heart. If not, no way a rank 20 wizard would do something like that.
Abel bowed at the other elite wizards and left the room with Wizard Hogg as strange scenery struck him as soon as he stepped out the door.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, and sounds of thunder could be heard from time to time. Afterward, a blinding lighting strike heavily struck down from the sky. The entire place was dark. There was no sign of life.
In front of him was a mountain. A blackened mountain, even the buildings on it was black.
“Wizard Abel. This place is very suitable for Lightning wizards to meditate. When you begin to form your own way of life, this place can help you become a Lightning logic-defying wizard!” Wizard Hogg smiled and introduced.
“Wizard Hogg, what’s a logic-defying wizard?” Abel asked curiously.
He knew they were wizards more powerful than elite wizards, but he just couldn’t figure out why they were called law-defying wizards.
“It’s a little too early to discuss this since you are only rank 16. Normally wizards would only start to understand after rank 19, but I’ll tell you this much…” Wizard Hogg smiled and continued, “law-defying wizards are wizards who grasped the power of law. Once you do so as a rank 20 Wizard, you will automatically become rank 21.”
“What’s the power of law?” Abel asked again.
“When the time comes, someone will explain to you!” Wizard Hogg stopped explaining.
Abel also knew maybe he still had a long way to go before grasping the power of law, so he stopped asking as well.
At that moment, he realized there was no protection circle in this Thunder ground of the Lightnings. He reached his power of the will towards the sky, and a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down. He sensed powerful lightning elements coming through his power of the will, making him numb for a second, and fell back a step.
“Haha, you can’t expand your power of the will for no reason in the Thunder ground. These thunder clouds are our best defense. No one would dare to invade without a protection circle!” Wizard Hogg said with a laugh.
Abel saw the Lightnings continued to strike down, but none of the strikes had landed on him or Wizard Hogg.
“Wizard Hogg, why aren’t the lightning strikes attacking us? Do the Lightnings have the ability to control them?” Abel asked again.
“No, we can’t control those lightning strikes, but can you feel the sparkles of lightning element running through you?” Wizard Hogg continued to smile.
He felt a little numb ever since the start, but he was distracted by the countless lightning strikes around this place. Focusing on Wizard Hogg’s advice, Abel sensed his body again and searched for a moment. He was right. There were lightning elements running through him. Afterward, Abel nodded.
“The Thunder ground is filled with Lightning elements, so it is the best training environment for lightning wizards, and the lightning strikes will automatically avoid us. However, this place is h.e.l.l to other wizards. They will not only be rejected by the lightning element, but they will also get struck by lightning.” Wizard Hogg said with pride.
At least Abel understood why there was no need for a protection circle in this place. The lightning was a natural protection circle. Any other wizards would be killing themselves if they entered.
This place would limit even the most powerful wizards. Also, with the powerful lightning element, this place would be heaven to the Lightnings.
“This is the big palace, where we have discussions. This is the library, where the most important books are stored. That is the storage. That is the mission hall!” Wizard Hogg did not move in a flash. He moved along and began to introduce Abel to the buildings one by one.
Abel suddenly realized the buildings were lacking something. There were not day to day facilities and things such as magic towers.
“Come with me!” Wizard Hogg brought Abel to a flat area with a short distance teleportation circle in the middle.
Wizard Hogg and Abel stepped on and disappeared in a flash of white light.
Soon they reappeared in an open s.p.a.ce lit up with illumination circles.
There were many floors to that place. Each floor had a long corridor with countless rooms on the sides.
Abel was on the top floor, it had a 5 meters tall ceiling, and Abel couldn’t even tell how many floors there were.
There were people walking by from time to time. Most of them were apprentice wizards, but there were a few official wizards.
“Wizard Abel, this is the Lightnings’ accommodation. We are inside Thunder mountain. We have dug out the whole thing!” Wizard Hogg said with a laugh.
“Are those all wizards with lightning talent?” Abel looked around with his jaw dropped. He came across 30 wizards on this floor alone. 20 of them were apprentice wizards.
“Do you really think there are that many wizards with lightning talents? Most of them are apprentice wizards who are here to serve the wizards. Since the mountain separates the Lightning ground, wizards here are less likely to be affected by the lightning element. This is the place for apprentice wizards here to gain lightning talent, but they’re still no match for natural born wizards. They only have around 30% success rate for lightning spells!” Wizard Hogg shook his head and sighed.
