Abe the Wizard - Chapter 1175

Chapter 1175: Harvest

Abel was starting to get an idea of how buildings were made in this world. It was the same whether it was on the Nation of God or the Central Continent. It was all the same. For the Nation of God, there was the heritage of the demon from beyond, but that alone was not enough to contain all knowledge. Most of what was known here remained in this world, like the underground dimension that they were looking at. Most of this could resemble many of what Abel saw.

Abel was just looking at the underground space. He could roughly make a guess of how some of the places worked. The large stone door, for example. There were spell runes all over that. That should be where the warehouse of the temple was. At a further spot, there was a sign that clearly stated to not trespass. It should be the control room of the temple. If there was a spirit there, that would be the place the spirit that was supposed to take care of in the temple.

There were a lot more rooms that Abel didn’t have to look in-depth himself. He could just feel that danger was close by. Powerful figures were staying in them. He didn’t know about what the other rooms were for, but his guess was that they were all quite important in their own way. He didn’t doubt that since he knew that the Saint made preparations to be able to return here no matter how far he went out. No, Abel didn’t want to face the Saint here. He didn’t want to fight when the environment was against him.

The Saint returned with many other powerful figures. The appearance made Abel more cautious. Abel’s first target was the control room. He knew that if he was getting rid of that, he would be reducing a lot of trouble. He quickly flew towards that. Before he passed through the main door, he greedily took a look at the warehouse. He wanted to make sure that he was doing some scavenging after he took care of it.

In front of the operation room door, Abel placed his hand right on the door and quickly understood the situation. He was also getting control over the door. He looked left and right for a bit. He didn’t realize that anyone was moving underground. He immediately opened the gate and dashed inside. He was surprised to see that it wasn’t actually an operation room. He wasn’t sure what it was, but if he had to guess, it might be something of a display room.

Only a longsword and a shield were displayed. On the other side of the room, there was a shadow of the angelic wings. Around them were plenty of spell circles to contain it. Abel felt very moved by that. He figured that this must be something important. With that in mind, he immediately flew towards the sword and shield, towards the defensive circles that were nearby. They would be triggered if threats were detected, but his angelic body was just passing through like nothing.

Abel seemed quite used to this now. He went inside the spell circle and felt a lot closer to the weapons he was encountering. He immediately understood what these weapons were for. The essence that was emitted was the exact same as the divine armor that he got. This was the sword and shield that the demon from beyond used. These were the weapons of an angel!

Abel reached his hand out and grabbed onto a longsword. The blade shook slightly on its own as though it was saying hello to him. He guessed that it might have something to do with the crystal angelic statue. The statue originated from a soul fragment. From his estimations, this soul fragment might’ve just originated from the demon from beyond. This was only his guess, however. He wouldn’t know what would actually happen unless the demon from beyond was there.

In any case, the divine longsword was already treating him as the master. He was grabbing onto it, and strangely enough, he didn’t feel any weight. He then grabbed onto the shield. The shield also felt as light as a feather. Abel didn’t spend much time here to do any inspection, however. The environment here was already quite dangerous, and he didn’t want to unleash his power of Will until he was sure that he was safe. No, he didn’t want to overwrite the ownership circle here. He didn’t want to lock these weapons with his druid spirit. He wanted them to be claimed by his main spirit, so when the demon from beyond woke up, they would still stay in his collection.

The shadows of the angelic wings felt very intimate to him, even more, intimate than the longsword and divine shield. They were like his extended limbs. Abel got closer to the angelic wing shadows. Very quickly, he could feel the joy that was emitted out of a spirit. Abel was shocked. He never thought that this was a spirit. It was very clear that the angelic wings were trying to convey happiness to him. It was also sending a message to him in the language of the angels. Only the spirits would own this, at the very least in this world.

Abel took the time to look around this room. He thought that this was an operation room, but then he realized that he got it wrong. Come to think of it. However, this room was probably no more than that. It was just that the spirit was too special. Abel was even considering taking it away in case something were to happen. Before that, however, he went ahead to look at the divine longsword and divine shield once more. Since he already got what he went here for, he decided that he might as well give it a try before he was to leave.

The temple wasn’t going to stop him, he thought. If he was to be found out, Abel could always unleash his power of the Will and make the entire temple to help himself. While Abel was reaching towards the angelic wing shadow, he was starting to realize that the shadow was flying towards him on its own. He wanted to escape out of instinct, but he realized that the shadow was just flying right behind him as soon as it got close to him. It was like a pair of wings was just attached to him. It consisted of a tremendous amount of energy. His angelic body was just backed with a huge load of energy. He didn’t understand it very well himself, so he basically became an angel with two pairs of wings.

As a matter of fact, this pair of wings became guardian wings after the demon from beyond used the super spells. It was protecting the entire Nation of God, and he just left the last bit inside the temple. As far as the demon from beyond was concerned, if it could use the faith inside the temple for self-recovery, it might just become a four-winged angel as soon as it was recovered to full health. Of course, it wasn’t confident in doing that, but Abel was a lucky. He just got the jackpot to become a four-winged angel.

As long as a four-winged angel appeared, that would mean that the angel would just not lose any energy during combat. Its attacking power and defensive power would also be multiplied. Abel didn’t care too much about that. It would take time to perform the transformation of angelic wings, and even if it worked, there would still not be enough of a speed boat. The wings were pretty much just for the base to become firmer so that his attack, defense, and recovery could all be enhanced. It was not possible to just gain the fruit of years of training in one step. The process was a lot faster than that.

Abel’s body was–if he was to compare it to something in his previous life–a nuclear bomb. As deadly as it sounded, he didn’t have the “passcode” to detonate it, so the most he could do was to just use it as a metal sphere to hit people. This was pretty much his situation right now. Even now, he still couldn’t use light power for long-range attacks, and it wouldn’t matter how strong an attack would be if you couldn’t hit your target. It would be better if you’re facing a melee class, but if you were to face someone with long-distance attacks, the results might’ve been a lot more different. The sacred knights would have an advantage, in this regard, as they would have the spiritual qi light rings to take an entire field to themselves. This was precisely what Abel lacked. There was still a long path before he could really fully cultivate his angelic body.

The angelic body spirit went behind him very quickly. This was the wing pair of a truly powerful angelic. It possessed abilities that were completely different from the ones that had formed on him recently. Before, he was always relying on the calculating ability of the world stone fragment so he could move at the highest precision that he could. However, since his angelic body was controlled by his druid spirit, once the main body was put somewhere else, his control was weakened tremendously since his control power was greatly reduced.

Although inside the Nation of God, all the buffs were increasing his control power, this was nothing but a temporary state he was putting himself in. Once he left the Nation of God to fight somewhere else, especially in the dark world, this would just not work whatsoever. The new angelic wings were just adding something to calculate all the attacks possible to be launched within range. The exact angle, distance, and force were all calculated so an optimal amount of damage could deal an optimal amount of cost.

Abel lightly waved his arm around. The combined force of his angelic wings and his druid spirit made it possible for something unseen to happen. This was unlike the effect of the world stone fragment. This was the digitalization ability, and it was discovered along with his acute vision ability. However, he didn’t take too much time to test out what abilities were granted to his angelic wings. Actually, he just had the illusion that his angelic wings might just be some kind of spirit. It did possess some of the abilities a spirit would have. It was just stronger than ordinary spirits.

Abel let out a long sigh as he looked towards the empty room. Nothing accidental happened the entire time. He was not discovered by the temple at all. His next target was the warehouse. That was his very last target. He thought that harvesting the two most important locations of the temple was enough to satisfy him. Slowly and carefully, he opened the gate to the operation room. He was lucky enough to not have anyone in the scene. Immediately, he dashed out of the operating room and kept the door shut. He then flew to the front of the warehouse gate. These were two giant metallic doors that were very easy to open on their own. Still, if he didn’t want to terrify anyone else, he would have to carry the weight up and open the gate. He did this already before, but the last one he tried was just too different in size.

Abel reached out his hands and grabbed the door. Inside were all kinds of circles shutting down immediately. The weight of the gates was several tons. The strength of the angelic body was already surpassing that of a melee legendary figure. The weight was still as light as it could be inside his hands.

Once the warehouse gate was opened, Abel went ahead to close it down slowly, so he had the time to look at what was inside. His gaze was immediately attracted by the shiniest items. He wasn’t interested in looking for anything else anymore. At the very least, for now, all his attention was on the items that were flashing in light.

In the middle of the warehouse, there was a golden box with no handle. Inside were flashing items. They were holy crystals. Abel got the number very quickly with his angelic wings. There were 5362 in total holy crystals. Very excitedly, he picked up one of the holy crystals. It was not like some half-done work he got from the statue location. The surface was as tough as it could get, with golden lights shining from all kinds of surfaces.

The holy crystal was like a piece of art. Compared to that top-level gemstone, he could actually just throw it away. For now, he was putting the holy crystal inside the golden box and putting on the lid. It was to go inside his angelic dimension. What he didn’t know was that, actually, the holy crystal was just another currency of its own. This was the type that was only used at the highest level. Not just Abel, actually. Most of the legendary figures would say that they didn’t have this type of currency.

In truth, all the holy crystals here were stored by the temple for the last several thousand years. Every time the crystals were used, the Saint would slowly, carefully make sure that he was not wasting any of the holy crystals. It was the temple that created the holy crystals and stored them there. Still, only the Saint had an obligation to keep these crystals, and using them was processed by an application to the guardian wings.

Right now, there were 5362 holy crystals put right here. They were not just the product of the central temple. Here they would contain everything that was produced by the 18 temples. They were but a fraction of what was stored up inside the entire Nation of God. For the past few thousand years, apart from supplying the guardian wings energy to make up for all kinds of expenses, all the remaining faith would be converted into these holy crystals.
