Abe the Wizard Chapter 892 - Raid

Chapter 892: Raid

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Abel retrieved his power of the will from the portal bag so Wizard Frank could open it as soon as it was handed over.
It was a 5 square meter portal bag. Wizard Frank was speechless. Although portal bags were not an extreme luxury in the Central continent, the wizard union had a tight regulation that each wizard could only register one portal bag.
Even after countless missions, Wizard Frank could only swap his 1 square meter portal bag out for a 2 square meter one from the wizard union.
He was only a rank 17 wizard, so his distribution of rewards in the team was limited.
He had gotten the most rewards from this mission.
Although the Central Continent had resources, there were many wizards around, and most of the wealth was concentrated towards the powerful wizards.
Therefore, Wizard Frank decided he would exchange a bigger portal bag with his top-level gem as soon as he got back. He had exchanged all his past rewards for training resources, so it was time for an upgrade.
“Captain. The mine is empty. Can we end this mission early?” Abel said. Instead, he turned to wizard Hogg.
“Don’t even think about it, Wizard Abel. We have accepted the mission, so we need to guard this place even if it has nothing in it. I will report what happened today, and I don’t think they will send anyone here in the future anymore!” WIzard Hog Shook his head.
“Wizard Abel, follow me. I’ll teach you how to work with the team!” Wizard Lamo called Abel with excitement.
Wizard Lamo’s was simply the structure of the team written on a book.
“Wizard Abel, take this book and take good care of it. Don’t let anyone else see it. It has documented the strategies and formation of the team. If there is anything you don’t understand, ask me!” Wizard Lamo lowered his voice.
Abel flicked open the lambskin book. It had different code names, each representing a team formation.
“After each battle, the captain or I will create a code name for a formation, which our members can search for in detail in this book. Your attacks aren’t good enough yet, so you’ll be in a supporting position most of the time!” Wizard Lamo explained.
“Vice-Captain, Johnson’s attack is very strong. How will it correspond in a battle? Abel asked.
“That’s a tricky one. Johnson’s attacks are much stronger than yours!” Wizard Lamo scratched his head. He had already perfected his team’s formation after years of documentation.
However, Abel was unlike most members. His wizard rank was not high, so his elemental attacks were not powerful.
At the same time, he had a beast with the attack power of a rank 18 wizard and even greater defense.
Wizard Lamo was not aware of Johnson’s new body since those iron balls on the surface looked almost the same.
“Wizard Abel, maybe try to stay away from the battlefield as much as possible and just let Johnson do the work. I will tell you how Johnson can fight with us in the future!” Wizard Lamo contemplated for a moment and said.
Abel was only qualified to be a member of this team as a rank 16 wizard because of Johnson’s power and speedy spell casting rate. So not getting killed in a battle shouldn’t be a problem.
Both Wizard Hogg and Wizard Lamo knew they couldn’t change the team’s formation in a short period of time. They could only find out how Abel could fit in with battles and experiences. He had to discuss with WIzard Hogg after they return.
Letting Abel know the formations allowed him not to interrupt the team, so it was still very important for him to know the code names and the formation it corresponds to.
By the time Wizard Lamo turned away, Abel had already memorized everything. His power of the will gave him memories far superior to any elite wizard, even the most complicated spell patterns were no challenge to him.
With his piece of world stone, every detail of the book was clearly burned in his mind.
Abel looked at the time. To make sure there is someone alert at all times, the team ruled that each wizard would have a designated meditation time in the mission.
It was almost time for Abel to meditate and his power of the will sent him a reminder.
He then carefully set up a magic circle and ignited it with many perfect gems. He then ignited a mana gathering. Due to the simple resource of the place, this was the most Abel could do.
He took out a light gem and began his meditation.
After 50 minutes, Abel was fully submerged in his meditation state. Suddenly a dimensional force emerged from the sky above.
“Alert, a dimensional force. All wizards get ready to fight!” WIzard Lamo yelled from the protection circle operation room.
His voice spread through the camp as he ignited the defense. The 2 elite wizards beside him flashed to the camp.
It was where the team gathered, and everyone emerged in flashes of light other than Abel.
“Wizard Abel is in meditation. Make sure we stay as far away as possible from the wooden house!” Wizard Hogg yelled. He was not looking good.
The dimensional force unleashed by the demons of the evil kingdom could destroy a protection circle. He had already picked the most unlikely time for the evil kingdoms to attack for the wizards to meditate. But he was not expecting his luck to be so bad.
He began to blame himself. Since Abel was a new member, he let him meditate directly after another 2 groups of wizards, which he was not supposed to.
He searched through the information and calculated the most unlikely time for the evil kingdom to attack. He was not wrong, but since Abel was a new member, he placed him in one of the more likely hours to meditate.
He just took so much benefit from Abel, and regrets began to build.
His words made the wizards turn towards the place where Abel was. “Captain, don’t worry. We will protect Abel!” Wizard Lamo said.
A blue portal appeared in the camp, and Wizard Hogg flashed in front of it. His spell was prepared. An attack was ready at any time.
“Code 4!” Wizard Lamo commanded the team through his power of the will.
10 elite wizards flashed into a tight attack formation. They would attack as soon as the holy knights appeared.
This gem mine was very close to the Evil kingdom, and they only had one line of defense. Also, the strength of a portal is largely dictated by its distance.
Just like the attack on Sland City, that portal could only sustain 1 rank 18 elite holy knight and some intermediate holy knights. Not even 2 elite Holy Knights.
Wizard Hogg knew a portal of this range could carry many elite holy knights. They were in for a bloody fight.
The reason the wizard union had organized a team of elite wizards here was to have a decent amount of defense. There were way too many places to guard. The Wizard union would not waste their men.
“My lord, my all mighty lord;
My lord, make our enemies submit and regret;
My lord, destroy their resistance and plant the seeds of truth in their heart;
My lord, bring them to the edge of their hope and wipe away their desire to live;
My lord, take away their right to live and bring them to silence;
My lord, transfer your energy onto the enemy and destroy their contaminated soul. Make them regret. Make them see the aftermath of dealing with evil spirits;”
Waves of dull mumbles chants emerged from the portal, and an unbearable energy began to emerge.
Finally, armored bodies appeared. 10 elite Holy knights continued to mumble with a giant shield in front, an aura filled with lightning arcs under their feet.
At the same time, lighting strikes struck the team of Holy knights. The aura below them absorbed most of the power, and holy energy flashed on their bodies, further distributing the lightning strikes.
Although the strikes numbed 2 holy knights, they did not fall due to their team’s tight formation and the powerful holy energy surrounding them.
“Damn it. We are so lucky. 10 evil knights, and they just cast a lightning resistance spell!” Wizard Hogg yelled.
Although the Lightning clan were gifted experts in lightning spells, it was not the only thing they could do. Due to elite wizards’ long lifespan, he had a lot of time to practice other attack methods.
“Glory to the Lord!” The holy knights yelled together and charged towards Wizard Hogg.
Since Wizard Hogg had gathered his man, his formation was extremely tight as well. As the team of Holy knights began to charge, the 10 elite wizards flashed away.
“Code 36!” Wizard Lamo commanded again through the power of the will.
This code name meant to drag out time and not fight the enemies head-on. As long as they could protect the teleportation circle for 5 minutes, the supports from the Wizard union would arrive.
But Wizard Hogg, Wizard Lamo, and everyone in team no.3 was sure of one thing. They were in big trouble.
There were 10 elite holy knights in total. 1 rank 20 holy knight, 1 rank 19 holy knight, 4 rank 18 holy knights, and 4 rank 17 holy knights.
Although team no.3 seemed to be at an advantage. A holy knight was more powerful than a Wizard with the same rank. Also, since those knights were resistant to lightning, they were in for a hard time.
The upside of being a Wizard was their powerful attacks and mobility. With their flashing ability, trying to kill an elite Wizard was very hard.
However, their bodies were weak even for an elite Wizard. They were hopeless in close combat. Once their defense spell was broken, death would be the only thing waiting.
The upside of a holy knight was their strong defense and resistance to different elements. They could make their way through elite spells and use auras to make their body stronger, resist certain elements, revive their damage. They were basically impenetrable castles.
On top of that, Knight formations were the finest of tradition and countless years of intellect. So you could just imagine what the wizards were facing.
The 10 holy knights charged towards the teleportation circle. They were very familiar with this place.
“Wizard Lamo ignited the protection circle for the teleportation circle and get ready to gather out attacks!” Wizard Hogg knew they could not stop the charge of 10 elite holy knights. It was the only thing he could do.
