Abe the Wizard - Chapter 889
Chapter 889: Johnson’s Body
It was the most peaceful days Abel had in the Central Continent. Every day, there were apprentice wizards delivering food to him, so there was no need for him to go outside. He would study spells in the day and train in the Dark World at night. He was back in the days when he was in the Holy Continent.
He finally went out after 7 days and arrived at the surface of Thunder Ground through the short distance teleportation circle.
He was faced with the sky full of lighting once again. Seeing those white flashes blasting down from the sky with roaring thunder, Abel couldn’t help but feel safe even without a protection circle.
Abel did not ask anyone about the location of the iron ores. When it came to finding ores, no one could beat a stone giant. It was their nature.
Abel opened his monster ring and said, “Johnson, come out!”
As soon as Johnson stepped out from the black hole, lightning strikes began to land on it.
Abel suddenly realized Johnson was basically a giant made of metal. Only one thing could happen when so much metal appeared in a ground full of lightning.
Johnson was very resistant to lightning, only a few marks were left on its iron balls after a few strikes, and the mana burn effect gave it 75% of element resistance.
However, no one should underestimate the force of the universe. Johnson’s defense might eventually get broken if he continued like this.
Abel flashed next to Johnson and wrapped it in his scent.
It worked, Johnson. The lightning strikes immediately avoided Johnson after sensing Abel’s presence.
Abel sensed fear from Johnson through the soul chain. If Abel didn’t summon it, it definitely would not appear in such an area. It only calmed down after Abel’s comfort.
Johnson, help me find the mine for this pure iron ore!” Abel sent the sensation of the lightning iron ore to Johnson.
Although Abel had condensed that pure iron, its elements did not change. As a stone giant, Jonson could still find the source of the ore.
Johnson walked upon the Thunder Ground and reached its special sensing ability underground. The Thunder ground was huge, so it would still take some time to find a mine.
Abel was bored, so he began to practice the aging curse. The curse was only the size of his palm, but it should not be underestimated. Abel’s control was almost perfect, and the death qi utilized was on par with a normal-size one.
The aging curse was a high-level spell. Unlike low-level spells, it was almost impossible for a wizard to practice a spell like that at a smaller scale.
Intermediate and high-level spells were tough to grasp just by themselves. Unless you mastered the spell for many years, you could not have full control over its power. There was no way you could do something like that.
Johnson suddenly came to a halt, and it began to flip over a blackened rock on the ground. Pieces of black color iron ore began to rush out from the ground like they were alive.
“Who is that? What is he doing?’ 2 red-cloaked wizards in the surveillance room of the Thunder ground yelled after seeing what Abel was doing.
There was no need for protection in the Thunder Ground, but the Lightning still needed peace of mind.
Surveillance circles were hidden around the Thunder Ground to ensure everything was in check, and they noticed Abel in the surveillance room when he appeared.
There were not many elite wizards in the Lightning clan, but some couldn’t recognize Abel.
However, they were sure that Abel belonged to the Lightning clan. Otherwise, there was no way he could still be standing.
“It looks like he’s looking for rocks? Look, he is putting the rocks away!” One of the wizards said.
“Lightning spirit, identify that wizard!” The other wizard lowered his voice.
“Verification in process…” said a robotic voice. After a few seconds, it added, “Abel Harry, rank 16 elite wizard. An official member of team no.3!”
“That 19-year-old genius? I heard he is a Grandmaster blacksmith as well!” One of the wizards recognized Abel’s name. The Lightning clan had sent out an entire team to fight the Blizzards for Abel. The Blizzards had taken a big hit. This incident was known across the Lightnings.
They just never knew what Abel looked like since he had locked himself up in his room ever since he came here.
“Then there is nothing to worry about. Just let him take as much as he wants. The entire Thunder mountain is made out of rocks. It should be fine as long as he doesn’t take all of them!” The wizard laughed.
Abel didn’t know he was being watched. He continued to practice spells while putting the rocks away with his power of the will.
The one casting the aging curse was his druid soul, so doing other things would not be a problem.
There were not as many pure iron ore as Abel thought, so it had taken him and Johnson a while before they gathered enough for a body.
The mine’s core was still intact, but it would take a few hundred years to recover after what Abel had done to it.
Abel didn’t care. The rocks were useless to the Lightnings anyway. Only Abel had managed a way to use Iron ores with lightning attributes, so it didn’t matter if he took all of it.
Afterward, he put away Johnson, flashed to the short distance teleportation circle, and arrived back at his house.
He immediately went into his training room and ignited the barrier circle. It was still daytime, and Abel had already entered the Dark World.
He did not come out again for another 2 days. During that time, he practiced the blue dragon crystal breathing technique, meditated, and hammer those pure iron ores into pure condensed iron balls.
His body was so drained he needed to keep using the Dark World’s energy potion to keep his stamina up.
When the last pure condensed iron ball was made, Abel felt exhaustion like never before. At first, he didn’t need to push himself that hard, but he was running out of time. He needed to increase Johnson’s defense before his next mission.
Dealing with those iron ores with lighting attributes was a hassle by itself, let alone condensing them.
Abel could only finish all those tasks in such a short period of time because of his godlike ability in the Rogue Encampment, as well as countless energy potions and hunger potions.
“Johnson!” Abel padded his chest with his monster ring, and Johnson was summoned.
Johnson was his most used summon in the Central Continent. Due to the awkward status of knights in this place, he could no longer use Black Wind in battles.
Abel had cultivated Black Wind like a knight’s mount, so it had gotten many similar traits. Although normal people might not tell, it was obvious to anyone who knew about knights.
When Johnson saw the mountainous amount of pure condensed iron balls on the ground, a strong wave of excitement came from its soul. Stone giants could sense the strength of ore, so they knew exactly how precious those things were.
Pure iron ore being condensed after thousands of strikes were basically indestructible, and Johnson knew the power it would bring if its body was made out of them.
Normal iron balls rolled on the ground from Johnson, and a pure condensed iron ball entered its body. The speed was unbelievable, and soon, Johnson’s body was leveled up.
Johnson did not look too different on the surface. The only thing noticeable was the more vicious lighting arcs on its Titan armor. It was the lightning attributes of those iron balls on display.
Johnson picked up the lightning spear with excitement and did the 11th rider spear technique. A green glow emerged on the spear as it danced among the sparkles of white light.
As it struck out the spear, a bolt of lightning shot out from the tip and heavily blasted on the ground. Countless iron balls from its previous body were turned into pieces.
Although those iron balls lost the mana burn effect after they left Johnson’s body, their lightning resistance rune was still intact, and they were indestructible with normal attacks.
You could just imagine how powerful Johnson had gotten when they blast into pieces.
The lightning attribute of each pure condensed iron ball was not that strong, but Johnson had a mountainous amount of it on its body. The result they added up as scary.
The lightning spear was the holy weapon of the Titan. It had the power to strengthen the Lightning clan. Since Johnson had been using the Lightning spear for a long time, the lightning power on those pure condensed iron balls was fully unleashed.
Also, through Johnson’s interaction with Jason. He understood how to control elements with the body. Therefore, it took Johnson almost no time to grasp the lightning power.
Seeing Johnson waving its spear around, Abel finally felt he could make a stand in the Central Continent. He returned to his accommodation from the Dark World. For the past days, he had been sustaining his energy with potions only, so he immediately went to his bed and fell asleep.
However, after a moment, Wizard Lamo’s voice suddenly emerged from his wizard badge and woke him up.
“Wizard Abel, the team will set out from the operation space in 2 hours. It’s your first mission, so make sure you have enough potions and backups with you!”
“Vice-Captain, thanks for the reminder!” Abel shook his head. He was still half asleep, “If you don’t have enough credit points, I can lend you some. Just remember to buy enough potions. We can’t afford to go easy on this mission!” Wizard Lamo spoke again.
“Vice-Captain. I have enough potions. Thanks for the offer!” Abel felt a little touched.
“Ok, I’ll let the others know. You better get ready!” Wizard Lamo disconnected after those words.
Abel took a shower and checked his belongings. He placed 10 golden healing potions and 4 ‘move in a flash’ scrolls in his portal bag.
Although wizards could take hints out from their portal bag using their power of the will without anyone noticing. Abel couldn’t leave his portal bag empty. Otherwise, people might become suspicious of the other higher-level portal gear on him.
He had too many secrets. Those ancient holy objects from the dwarfs and elves all had their history. They were enough to provoke anyone in the known.
Afterward, he arrived at operation space on the first floor through the short distance teleportation circle in his room. Wizard Frank was the only one there. The others had not arrived yet.
“WIzard Abel, I see you are desperate just like me. An early bird!” Wizard Frank smiled and said.
“Wizard Frank. Do you know what mission we are doing today?” Abel asked.
“A simple one. The captain said he just wants you to get to know the team and try to work together, so it shouldn’t be hard!” Wizard Frank continued to smile.
“Aren’t we going on a battle mission?” Abel asked again.
“Yes, it’s a battle mission, but the chances of us actually getting involved aren’t that high!” WIzard Frank explained.
