Abe the Wizard Chapter 411 - Forced Out of the Tower

Chapter 411 Forced Out of the Tower
Abel watched the house that his second arrow went. There was a giant pit there. It was about several meters deep, and it was all created by the explosion he unleashed.
The mourning stone shell remained. Not the surrounding areas, though. If Abel wanted to infiltrate the Cliff Magic Tower, he might have to think outside the box. With that in mind, Abel shot another super-exploding ball at the ground next to the magic tower. Since he wasn’t shooting at the magic tower directly, it did not trigger the barrier that was supposed to block away the impact.
Since the stairs were destroyed, Wizard Cliff could only move downward with his “instantaneous movement” spell. The further he went down, the angrier he was as he saw how his life’s work had been turned into ruins.
“Abel!” Wizard Cliff cursed, “I swear, you are a dead man! Do you hear that? There can be only one of us that lives on this earth!” After he launched his second “instantaneous movement,” Cliff arrived at the teleportation circle inside his magic tower. When he did, he was relieved to see that it was still intact. Once he made his escape, he was sure that he would be able to have his revenge. “Good, good,” Wizard Cliff sighed as he walked
in.
Suddenly, a large explosion started coming from the ground below him. The sheer force was enough to slam him to a wall next to him. If he didn’t have his defense barrier on, he would’ve been injured.
When he tried to stand up, he realized that the balance was off. The whole magic tower was tilted right now, and because of that, the teleportation circle in front of him was destroyed. Several of the rune patterns were separated from the main circle. He was now out of an exit.
From Abel’s view, all the dirt that he blew up started blasting towards the sky. Once that happened, a giant pit formed next to the Cliff Magic Tower. The base of the tower was in plain view. The magic defense circle was very much still in place, but the magic tower was still affected.
When the explosion was gone, the reaction force spun the magic tower in the other direction. The base was barely perpendicular right now. It started tilting towards the giant pit next to it. If Abel could end this with his super-exploding ball, everyone inside the tower would be killed by the explosion.
Wizard Cliff was inside, but he knew what was going on. He didn’t have a choice. The power of men was not enough to withstand the explosion. He had to leave the magic tower. It was his only way to survive.
Suddenly, a white light flashed across Wizard Cliff’s body. His body started vanishing from the inside of the magic tower. When he reappeared, it was at the ruins that were once his front yard.
“Lure him to the spot,” Abel commanded to Flying Flame. After wiggling the portal bag that was hanging on its neck, Flying Flame left White Cloud’s back and outside of the invisibility barrier.
Just when Wizard Cliff was trying to leave with his “instantaneous movement” spell, he realized that something was wrong with the sky. Next thing he knew, a dragon was flying towards him.
Yeah, a dragon. Wizard Cliff could tell, though. It was not a giant dragon, but a pseudo-dragon that had not matured. Still, that knowledge didn’t help him. After all, It was human instinct to be afraid of dragons.
When Flying Flame saw Wizard Cliff aware of its presence, a bolt of dark lightning flashed across the sky. It shifted itself to the space that was twenty meters away from him. As soon as it did so, it spat out the white flame ball from its mouth.
Wizard Cliff sensed this attack. Without a second thought, he used the “instantaneous movement’ to move elsewhere. When he looked back at the ground that he was at from somewhere safe, he saw everything burnt into ashes.
“Wha- White Flame! Are you kidding me? White Flame?”
Wizard Cliff had no intention to fight Flying Flame. He knew how weak his attacks would be against this pseudo-dragon. Besides, there was nothing he could to guard against its sharp claws and deadly flame.
Contrary to what Wizard Cliff expected, Flying Flame just stayed at the same spot that it was flying at. When its eyes locked onto him, it kept on flapping its wings to stay at the same spot.
Wizard Cliff was confused. Judging from how fast it was moving just then, it could easily catch up to him even if he was using the “instantaneous movement.” There was only one reason. Wizard Cliff didn’t think that Flying Flame indefinitely. He had to try making it spit out more white flame balls. The more he could doge those, the higher his chance of escaping would be.
Wizard Cliff kept on thinking as he observed Flying Flame’s movements. He was waiting for the right timing. If he were using his “instantaneous movement’ spell, it would be as soon Flying Flame launched a second attack. If Flying Flame chose to chase after him, he didn’t mind spending a bit more mana to move about. The “instantaneous movement’ spell was not very mana-consuming to him. But he wasn’t thinking enough. Suddenly, the ground started trembling. Even the dust in the air was shaking because of the giant body that was walking out of the black pit in front of him. It was a monster that he was looking at, a monster that was ten-meters tall and made completely out of metal.
Yes, Johnson. Johnson had a super knight’s big sword on its back. It was carrying the king-sized ballista on its hands. As it scanned across its surroundings with its eyes, its head stopped moving as soon as it located Wizard Cliff.

With a scratch of its hand, a few arrows appeared on Johnson’s arm. As a few of the multi-surfaced metal spheres moved around, one arrow was placed onto the ballista.
Then it started aiming at Wizard Cliff. Wizard Cliff had cold sweats. As soon as its hands released the arrow, he managed to dodge with his ‘instantaneous movement” spell.
There was nothing that could describe how frustrated Wizard Cliff was. He was supposed to be the strongest fighting force of the humans, but the dragon in the air was simply looking down at him. It wasn’t doing anything to attack him, and nor did it need to. The metallic monster, whatever it was, was already giving him more trouble than he could take.
Or, maybe that’s for the better. As long as Flying Flame didn’t interfere, Wizard Cliff thought that he could take on Johnson himself. It wasn’t a dragon, after all, and dragons were pretty much the only thing that he was afraid of.
What, then, should he cast to take down this ten-meter-tall metallic thing? Wizard Cliff thought that he should use the “blizzard” spell. As slow as it was to cast it, freezing Johnson could buy him a lot of time to come up with some sort of strategy.
And so he tried. Yet, even when the “blizzard” spell was thrown at Johnson, Flying Flame chose to do nothing at all.
It was becoming more apparent now. Abel was using this chance to test the powers of his summoned creature. He didn’t have the chance to take advantage of an advanced wizard before, so he was making the most out of Wizard Cliff by trapping him to an arena fight.
