Abe the Wizard Chapter 1171 - Angelic Body

Chapter 1171: Angelic Body

Abel was just standing inside the Rogue’s Encampment. He had two bodies now. One belonged to his wizard body. The other belonged to his angelic body. Both of these were here at the same time. The wizard was just sitting amidst the mana gathering circle with an advanced Lightstone in his hands. He just consumed one wisdom fruit, and he had the most luxurious training.
Even now, Abel’s strength was on a gradual increase. It could even be said that he could become a legendary wizard in just a few years, which was why he spent even more time cherishing all the training he was doing inside the dark world. He could feel all the progress he was making with his everyday training.
The angelic body held the “spirit” sword and the “spirit” shield to practice combat techniques. Although the angelic heritage sword technique was proven to be quite powerful, Abel did possess the sword technique of the Holy Continent knights already. That was not to say that he couldn’t feel the difference between the two. Well, he didn’t actually need either since he did have the world stone fragment to help him see through all the moves of his enemies. In other words, all the enemies that were fighting with him would have their techniques nullified before even using them. He could see through all their moves before they were even attempted. This was unless it was the close-range technique of class holders, but those were more like spells than combat techniques.
Right now, Abel was really just using his angelic body to practice swinging a sword. The purpose, of course, was so that the body could guide through energy like this. The techniques he could use now were for combat, but mostly, it was just so that the body could control the energy that it contained, energy as in the white light emitted out of his “spirit” sword.
The white light from out of the angel’s body was very close to the divine light on the sacred knight sword, but the two were different. The white light on the spirit sword belonged to the power of light, which was a much high-ranking power than the divine power that belonged only to the angles. That was the part that Abel was unhappy about, actually. He couldn’t use it on the central continent. He couldn’t possibly reveal anything angelic if he was doing it on the central continent.
Now, it was not a hard job at all to take hold of the angelic heritage. Angels would take a very short period of time to control the angelic heritage. As complicated as the process was, many heritage knowledge could only be unlocked unless the angels were strong enough. As for, the only ones that could be controlled was the power of light.
As for now, Abel didn’t even have to sleep when he was inside the dark world. During his fight with the hell creatures during the day, he would occasionally bring his angelic body so his wizard body could go to sleep. During the night, once his wizard meditation training was over, he would then transfer his conscience to the angelic body to start practicing the power of light. Since he kept repeating this process of practicing and fighting with the hell creatures, he became ever more powerful at taking control of this.
Abel was just starting to notice that the light of power was a hard counter to the hell creatures. This would make facing the hell creatures boost his attacking capability by 50%. The power of light was an elemental attack that was designed to target the wizards. It was also very similar to the divine power of the sacred knights, the qi of the barbarian class holders, the death qi of the orc priests, and the natural power of the druids. Once an attack was unleashed, the power of light would neglect all physical attacks, which was what made it special from everything else. Thus, it could be said that the power of light was a special element of it. Again, as overpowered as it was, the only way Abel could use it now was in close-range combat.
Abel thought to the guardian wings of the Nation of God. Perhaps it had to do with the training of the angels. He thought that he might be able to one day reach the physical sturdiness of a real angel. By that point, he might just call out Izuel out of his crystal angelic statue. Although divine bestowment was only enough, its fighting capability might just reach that of a half-god.
Abel ordered his angelic body to withdraw the “spirit” sword and “spirit” shield. The mission for today was just done. He really liked using his angelic body for practice. He liked the thrill of engaging in close-range combat, and while he was combining his sword technique with his wizard spells, he could enjoy breaking some sweat while doing this with a cool head. That being said, there wasn’t any weakness that he didn’t know of himself. He didn’t possess the teleportation ability of the wizards, which meant that he could only continue to run with his angelic body. As fast as it was (and he was riding on Black Wind), it was still nowhere to match real teleportation.
Today, Abel was planning on using his body to enter into his meditation training as a wizard. He felt confident that his angelic body could learn more about the wizard class. He could feel the mental power of his angelic body was especially stronger, much stronger than his wizard mind. With that in mind, he decided to try meditation with his angelic body. He didn’t switch on the mana gathering circle for this. This was the first time he was doing meditation with his angelic body, so he thought it was enough to absorb mana from the air around him.
Abel sat flat on the ground and focused as much as he could on his meditation. He used his power of the WIll to begin illustrating a wizard rune, which was a very easy job on its own. It took him barely any time to finish this. Following that, he began absorbing the mana that was around him. He gathered the mana and inserted it into his wizard rune. He solidified it amidst his soul. The rune was pretty much completed, and he was nothing more than a beginner-level apprentice wizard from there.
An accident happened, though. While he was filtering the mana he was absorbing, the energy was immediately expelled from him as soon as it went in. He didn’t understand what happened, so he went ahead and tried again. The result was the same. As long as the mana was entering his body, his body would resist it as much as possible. While he was trying, the rank 1 wizard rune inside started dispersing since it was no longer in shape.
He murmured to himself, “What happened here?”
He did not feel right about this, so he walked to the mana gathering circle beside and took out some high-middle tier light stones before going back. Since the mana could not be absorbed, he thought that he might absorb the energy contained inside the light stones. Once again, he entered into his meditation stage and began illustrating his wizard rune. The process was just the same as before. Once he started absorbing the energy of the light stones, his body began repelling all of it.
Abel was felt kind of helpless. He was starting to think that his angelic body could not commence any wizard training. He shook his head and tried a few more times. Whatever the case was, as long as other energies were entering his body, they would still be repelled away. He was only starting to realize how overpowered the light power was. It was not good with most types of energy. It couldn’t even be placed in the same location as his wizard mana.
That’s when Abel had to look for an alternative. He was starting to remember something. The soul that his angelic body was using was his druid soul. Invisible energy was contained in his druid soul, and that was the type of energy that could exist in his angelic body. With that in mind, he tried to transfer some natural energy out to cast a druid spell. When the energy was drawn out, however, the same thing just happened again. This time, it was a lot more direct. The death qi that was transformed was immediately extinguished instead of repelled.
The death qi was just appearing in his angelic body, but as though having met its natural enemy, it was destroyed on the spot. In other words, if Abel was using his angelic body now, he would not be able to use both his druid class skills and his priest skills. He couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at this. So having two bodies at the same time was not a good thing for him. If he wanted to call out his summon creatures and fight in his angelic body, he did that in the right order.
That being said, he would want to keep using his orc priest curses in combat. The “aging” curse was pretty much mandatory. As a matter of fact, while the angelic body was very powerful on its own, now that he was inside the dark world, the angel’s body was pretty much not different at all to Wale, the legendary sacred knight. The angelic body was still quite weak now, but given the time for it to slowly grow independently, it might just become much stronger than any divine spirit.
What Abel lacked precisely, however, was time. If he wanted to wait, his blue dragon body would just have to wait slowly and allow tens of thousands of years to pass. He would naturally be a legendary figure much earlier than that. He could also wait for his Beamon giant beast to become the divine spirit of an entire race. Either way, he was always glad to have the angelic body with him. It was definitely extraordinary in its own way. Although he couldn’t use his teleportation in it, that was pretty much only because his body was under suppression inside the dark world.
If the angelic body was on the central continent and possessed the same sturdiness as legendary class holders, Abel would naturally possess the ability to fly now. The obvious weakness, however, was that the body was too weak. It would also repel all other classes, so Abel would only fight with his light power. It wasn’t like the light power was not powerful, but this would take too much time to grow independently. If the angel’s body couldn’t boost his power in the short term, there would be a limit to how far the angelic body could grow. It’d be pretty much useless if he couldn’t get it to the level of a divine spirit within a century. The demon from beyond was definitely to take up during that time, and he was definitely going to have a fight when the time came.
Abel understood. The more powerful a race was, the slower its growth would be. This was clear for the dragons. Dragons took about one hundred years to pass childhood. If they wanted to grow to the point that they could overpower law-defying wizards, that would be thousands of years they’d have to wait and grow. For legendary figures, it would be tens of thousands of years. This was the case for the dragons, and the angels should follow the exact same principles.
The angels did pass through their youthful stages with their tremendous storage of energy, but to spend up all the worship power that they did during youth, growth was a very difficult thing. Abel’s angelic body was just now taking care of the energy that was inside his body. He hadn’t reached the threshold for extending his energy outreach yet. More importantly, now that the angels were taking control of his followers, he’s still barely got the time to develop his faith. With all these things in mind, he was starting to feel like the growth of his angelic body had a very, very long way to go.
Abel thought to himself, “Perhaps I’ll let this body go inside the Nation of God and see what will happen.”
The whole reason that Abel got an angelic body was that he managed to sneak into the Nation of God before. He was already sure that he could go in and out freely. If he wanted to let his angelic body grow quickly, he knew that he would have to go back to the Nation of God immediately. He needed to see if it could absorb energy from the guardian wings or if he needed to look for any chance inside the Nation of God.
Abel understood. Lately, the Wizard Union had been continually going against the Nation of God. His multiple “divine bestowments” in the Nation of God had been very successful, so much so that he could kill at least ten preachers in every one of his assassination attempts. The Nation of God had always been furious about this, but they never had the right chance to get him since they could not send the right number of sacred knights.
Abel has been getting a lot of changes lately. If he wanted to allow his angelic body to receive any benefits from the Nation of God, he would’ve had to go right away. He was just returning to the golden castle from the dark world. It was morning right now. While he was preparing to leave, he immediately received a message that was sent from the research spirit.
The research spirit’s voice was sent over, “Wizard Hutton of the dwarves are waiting for you inside the guest meeting room.”
Abel shook his head and sighed. It looked like his plan was about to be intercepted. He still had to meet with Wizard Hutton, though. He got the short-distance circle sending him over to the guest meeting room, and he immediately saw Wizard Hutton waiting for him.
Wizard Hutton smiled and bowed, “You ate yet, Grandmaster Bennett?”
Abel smiled and returned a bow, “I just got up, Wizard Hutton!”
Wizard Hutton’s eyes were sparkling, “We’ll eat and talk in the dining room, then.”
Abel had no idea why Wizard Hutton arrived so early, but it got a lot clearer when he realized that he was just here to have some food.
Abel just smiled and invited Wizard Hutton. “Please, Wizard Hutton.”
