Chapter 202
“I’m bringing my mount wolf with me, sir,” Abel said as he bowed towards Morton Wizard .
“Well, be quick about it,” Wizard Morton said with an agitated tone, “The Wizard Union has already sent me a call . They want me to open the teleportation circle as quickly as possible . ”
From what it looked like, Wizard Morton probably underestimated how much the Wizard Union wanted to capture Abel . As soon as those three red-cloaked wizards went back, a call was almost instantly sent to the Morton Magic Tower . Since Magic Towers were the property of their owners, something like this would rather happen at all .
“Yes, Sir . It won’t take long, I promise!” Abel replied as he ran towards the door . When he opened it, Black Wind was already charging towards the inside of the magic tower .
After getting on Black Wind’s back, Abel used his status card to open up a door that was in front of the defense circle . While it was just big enough to fit him and Black Wind, it was relatively easy for them to get past the security check .
“I’m ready!” Abel said to Wizard Morton . As long as he’s got Black Wind with him, White Cloud wasn’t really a problem for him . If he wanted a flight, he could always summon White Cloud with his soul chain .
Wizard Morton decided to send Abel to the Duchy of Thunder . Once Abel got there, he would have to go to a few more teleportation circles before he could smuggle himself into the Kingdom of St . Pierrt . And after that, the higher-ups of the St . Ellis’s Wizard Union would have no right to extradite him .
For the sake of clarification, while the Wizard Union existed as one large organization, it was divided into three branches across different parts of the Holy Continent . There was a branch in the Kingdom of St . Ellis, one in the Kingdom of St . Pierrt and one in the Kingdom of St . Anwall . They all shared the same goals and enemies, but they operated independently from one another .
Thus, if Abel could find his way inside the Kingdom of St . Pierrt, those red-cloaked wizards from the Kingdom of St . Ellis would have no way to arrest him .
That’s what he thought, at least .
“Request for teleportation has been denied . The identity of the passenger has been detected by the Wizard Union, and he is a wanted criminal!”
That couldn’t be good . The Wizard Union was, like, acting way too fast for this . They were kind of going too far, to stop someone from using a teleportation circle like this, a lot of energy would have to be used to lock up all the teleportation circles across the entire kingdom .
“Warning to the owner of this magic tower: as permitted by high-level authorities, the Wizard Union will now make a forced entry here . ”
“High-level authorities . ” Abel had no way to know what that meant, but Wizard Morton understood every single word . Basically, only a handful of wizards would be granted this level of authority . Since Morton’s security measures were meant to keep advanced wizards out, it was about the only thing that could get someone else in .
“Let’s go!” Abel grabbed Abel by his waist as he cast the ‘instantaneous movement” spell . Soon, the two disappeared from the first floor of the Morton Magic Tower .
When Wizard Morton and Abel were gone, a powerful force appeared from inside the teleportation circle . It was Wizard Cliff, who was laughing in his blood-red cloak .
“You think you can escape?” Wizard Cliff chuckled as he vanished from the teleportation circle .
As soon as Wizard Cliff came out of the magic tower, Wizard Morton and Abel teleported themselves back inside . While you could teleport to any spot you want from inside the magic tower, the only way to get back in was if it’s permitted by the tower’s owner .
Wizard Cliff was being played for a fool . Now that he was outside the Morton Magic Tower, he didn’t have a way to get back in . He was annoyed by this, obviously . He quickly lifted his finger, and after drawing a very complicated rune pattern in the air, he started casting a spell towards the direction of the Morton Magic Tower .
Even from inside the tower, Wizard Morton could sense how powerful this spell would be .
“Oh no,” Wizard Morton reached out his hand to grab Abel again, “Come with me . He’s going to cast a high-level spell . ”
Instead of teleporting this time, the two went to a room that was full of magic circles . There were six arched tables in the center, and as they were linked with silver linings, they formed the shape of a hexagon .
There was a small magic circle on top of each table . They were all decorated with an intermediate magic gemstone . At the center of the big hexagon, there was a slot that was filled with an intermediate gemstone as well .
Wizard Morton reached for a pouch of gemstones from his portal bag, “This is the main operation room of this magic tower . If an advanced wizard is trying to break his way in, we’ll have to replace the gemstones as quickly as we can . Otherwise, there won’t be enough mana to power up the defense circle!”
“Here,” Wizard Morton gave a few stones to Abel, “As soon the stones run out of mana, use your “telekinesis” to replace the new ones in!”
With a wave of his arm, Wizard Morton switched on a screen that was showing what was going outside of the magic tower .
By this point, Wizard Cliff was pretty much done drawing the spell rune to cast “blizzard . ” As nice as the weather was at the Morton Magic Tower, a pile of black clouds quickly gathered up, and soon, giant flakes of snow started dropping from the sky . Hails started falling heavily . It was a natural disaster that was created to destroy any nearby infrastructures .
When the falling snow was about to drop on the magic tower, a white barrier emerged around the building . While the barrier shook a lot as it absorbed the impact of the hit, it was also able to divert the attack towards other directions .
That didn’t keep up for too long . Soon, more snow and hail fell from the sky . It was almost as if they were at the northernmost part of the Holy Continent . Since the “blizzard” spell also had a freezing effect, the parts that were hit would sometimes glow in blue light .
Luckily, the magic tower wasn’t a living being . The freezing effect wasn’t going to do a lot to damage it . That being said, the mana that was used to power up its barrier was being drained at a very fast pace .
Ten seconds later, and one intermediate gemstone was already starting to shatter apart . Both Wizard Morton and Abel were very anxious to see this . With the “telekinesis” spell that was engraved inside his magic staff, Abel quickly switched the broken gemstone with a new one .
Wizard Morton could do the same thing if he wanted to, but instead of taking the time to draw his spell rune, it’s definitely a lot faster if it was Abel’s magic staff that was doing this . It was a life and death situation now . The faster they were, the less damage the magic tower would take .
It was really starting to get tense inside the operation room . There were a total of seven slots to place the intermediate gemstones . One stone would break at the rate of every ten-something seconds . Abel didn’t have a large mana capacity . Every time he was using his magic staff to cast a “telekinesis spell,” he would have to use up double the mana to do it, which was about 14 mana points for just one spell .
Abel was starting to get desperate . Whether he was using his own mana or the magic staff, if this kept on going, he was not going to keep the magic tower’s defense circle running properly .
He had to think fast . Pretty soon, the incoming blizzard would start breaking through the magic tower’s defense . When that happened, Wizard Morton and all the other disciples and apprentices here would be hurt because of him . With that in mind, there was only one thing to do here .
Abel took out his perfect magic gemstone . He decided to give it a try . If it worked, bravo . If not, he would walk out of the magic tower and take Wizard Cliff down with himself .
“Sir,” Abel asked as he took out two perfect red stones from his portal bag, “Have a look at these . Do you think I can use these?”
