Abe the Wizard

Chapter 378 - Big Downside


Chapter 378 Big Downside

Abel brought all his summons and Black Wind back to the Rogue encampment again and headed straight to Black Marsh using the little portal.

Black Wind sped along the Black Marsh as Flying Flame swirled above them. The 5 ravens were patrolling around the sky while the spirit wolves and spirit guardian knights ran by his side. Every time they fell behind, they would flash forward again. The Oak Sage was also beside him, and the Poison Creeper was underground.

Abel’s team was in formation, but the 5 spirit guardian knights’ level was still too low, so they couldn’t unleash the full potential of a skeleton. In regards to the summons unleashed by his druid soul, they could only be helpers at most, so Abel wasn’t planning to spend too much effort on them either.

Abel had gotten his druid ability unexpectedly, so he would need to dedicate a massive amount of time if he wanted to level it up. However, his main task at the moment was to strengthen his wizard spells. His druid soul was already busy unleashing wizard spells, so there was no more time for him to practice his druid abilities.

The ravens began to screech, warning Abel there were hell creatures upfront. The first thing he did was stop Flying Flame from attacking first since he wanted to test out his Leaf Magic Staff.

“Flying Flame, don’t attack!” Abel commanded through the soul chain.

Flying Flame hummed with dissatisfaction, but he still listened to Abel. He flew forward and swirled around in the sky, waiting for Abel’s next command.

Abel held the Leaf magic staff in his hand and pointed at the 5 spirit guardian knights with it. A magic pattern appeared with every point. Afterward, a beam of red light shot towards each of them. Those spirit guardian knights were covered in flames, but soon their weapons absorbed the flame and gave them a fiery red color.

“Eh, This took up a lot of mana!” Abel sighed. Afterward, he pointed at the 5 spirit wolves, and all of their claws had gained some fire attributes.

The level 6 ‘Fire Enchantment’ would normally only take up 30 points of mana, but Abel had not fully grasped this spell. He could only rely on the Leaf Magic Staff, so it had doubled his mana consumption. Just like that, Abel was down 60 points of mana.

After he had fire enchanted the 5 ravens as well, a large chunk of his mana was gone. Still, Abel couldn’t care less. He had the ‘Full Recovery Potion’, so he could easily recover all his mana.

“Attack!” Abel saw a large formation of around 100 Wendigo rushing towards him. They looked vicious and speedy. Abel did not wait for them to come to him. Instead, he rushed towards them as well.

The 5 ravens made contact with the Wendigo first. Their fiery beaks began to make marks on the Wendigo’s head.

Previously the ravens were so weak they couldn’t even penetrate the skin of a Wendigo, but this time, one of them had put a hole in a Wendigo’s head. Although it didn’t knock it out, it still hurt it.

Just like that, a simple fire enchantment turned the ravens, with only blinding abilities, into powerful attackers.

Afterward, the spirit wolves and the spirit guardian knights entered the Wendigo’s formation. As the fire magic sword of the spirit guardian knight captain struck down, a cursed red color started to glow above the Wendigo’s head it. Meanwhile, those spirit wolves began wiping them out with 2 or 3 slashes.

With the ‘damage increase’ curse on top of the physical impact of the spirit wolves, they destroyed the Wendigo’s in no time.

Afterward, another magic pattern flashed in front of Abel’s Leaf Magic Staff and a giant fireball shot towards the center of the group of Wendigo’s. The fireball landed on the body of a Wendigo and exploded. The 40 or so Wendigo around it were engulfed in flames. They all screamed in agony and dropped dead. Almost half of the Wendigo was whipped out with this explosion, and the others were badly injured.

This fireball was so powerful. Abel had become a little addicted to using it. Those giant fireballs continued to fly out from the Leaf Magic Staff, and so did the explosion. Now a large field of Wendigo had been mowed away like grass.

It was so fun to be a Wizard, Abel thought to himself as he kept mindlessly unleashing fire balls. Suddenly, his body began to get fatigued, all his mana was used up.

Abel had become clear headed again all of a sudden. The state he was just in was not like himself at all. He was a wizard, a wizard that used every bit of his mana carefully, not a cannon.

The fire balls were so powerful, it had made him lose himself and his calmness. Could this be the danger of jumping 2 ranks?

Abel didn’t have a teacher to give him an explanation, so he could only find it out himself. With his current rank, it was still better to avoid using such a powerful spell as much as possible. He was lucky since these hell creatures were not really a threat to him, but if he was facing a powerful enemy back in the Holy Continent, unleashing spells like crazy meant that he had lost his battle strategy. By that point he would be no different from a spiritual beast, and his enemies would have countless opportunities to strike him.

His power of the will brushed upon his Snake Ego Belt and emptied out a ‘Full Recovery Potion’. Immediately, his mana was full again. Even his fatigue had vanished.

The reason no wizard had used a spell 2 ranks above them before was that it would directly impact the soul. If Abel’s soul had not been strengthened so much by those Soul Potions, he would basically have become a mana less disabled person already.Good control was necessary for a powerful magic weapon. Although, only a genius could control a magic weapon that was a rank above them. You would be an idiot if you decided to control one that was 2 ranks above them. Abel was only rank 3 when he left the magic tower, and the departure was quite abrupt, so Wizard Morton didn’t have time to explain all of these to him.

“Flying Flame, attack!” Abel shouted to the sky.

Immediately, Flying Flame roared down from the sky, and balls of white flame struck on the ground. The place had turned into a patch of fireworks, and all the Wendigo were burned to ash immediately. Flying Flame seemed like he had become way too bored in the sky. But of course, even though it was a natural battle addict, it still wouldn’t dare to pick a fight with the dwarfs by himself.

Now, Abel could only behave himself and unleash some Fire bolts from a side, while keep replenishing his fire enchantment on his summons so they could maintain their powerful formation.

The battle had quickly ended, and Abel was still very satisfied just from the fire enchantment alone.

For now, Abel didn’t stress too much about the downside of using those fireballs. He was confident that his rank 5 wizard pattern would be fulfilled in a few days. As long as he could become an official wizard, this downside of raising 2 ranks would disappear automatically. By that point, he could use as many fire balls as he wanted.

With Flying Flame, and the fire enchantment on Abel’s new Leaf Magic Staff, the power of his little team had now swept across the entire Black Marsh.

Every night Abel would go back to the intermediate mana gathering circle in the Rogue Encampment for meditation. Just like that, another day had ended.
