Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1431: Theft

Thief God Milton paused under Abel’s control.

Greed flashed in his eyes, but who wouldn’t have such in the face of such a treasure?

Maybe those who couldn’t comprehend what a World Stone was wouldn’t understand, but Abel did!

Every time he activated his World Stone, the world around him would slow down and his analysis ability shot up. It was extremely useful in all close-range battles.

Although he rarely used the World Stone in Batlow as a wizard, it didn’t mean it was useless. In fact, the more he understood the true power of the World Stone, the more powerful he grew.

He was ignorant in the past, but now he understood the power of gods.

If he had the World Stone of this world, all the continents would become part of his territories, like his territories in the Dark World!

If his scattered pieces of World Stones weren’t so weak, he would be just as powerful as a god!

But if he really was going to steal this World Stone Heart, how would the Wizard Union react?

He would be the prime suspect since he controlled Thief God Milton. He also didn’t know how many wizards actually knew about this World Stone Heart. After all, everyone would go crazy for it!

He had prepared a little before he set out for this mission. He thought he was going to take a few Divine Bodies with him, and all he needed was some time to resurrect them. The Wizard Union wouldn’t be able to do anything, even if they knew it was his doing!

However, taking the World Stone Heart was a totally different story.

The mysterious President of the Wizard Union still had not shown himself, which meant there might be wizards more powerful than Rank 38.

Still, letting such treasure a go when it was right in front of him would be such a disservice to himself!

With a flash of determination, Abel made his decision. He quickly wrapped his Power of the Will around the ten thousand holy crystals, and put everything into his portal object, along with the World Stone Heart!

But as soon as he did that, an alarm was set off within the Wizard Union Headquarters.

Still, Abel did not panic. He was underground, so he knew the wizards couldn’t just Flash inside. Instead, he gazed at those Divine Bodies with some pity. It seemed he couldn’t take any away this time.

He knew why God Rank Two had sensed a huge threat last time. One was because of his intuition as a God Rank Knight, another was because this Magic Circle really could kill a God Rank.

That was especially so for a weakling like Thief God Milton, who would be dead in an instant!

Milton calmly flew away from the giant Magic Circle and took out a Scroll of Town Portal.

As he activated it with his Power of the Will, a blue Portal opened. He quickly stepped into it, and it closed as soon as his Power of the Will was withdrawn.

——

Wizard Brook was the God Rank Wizard at the Howling Castle, facing down the Holy Kingdom, just like always.

He did not let his guard down, not even a single moment. After all, the fanatical Holy Kingdom could attack at any moment.

That was especially true since most of the God Rank wizards were negotiating with Abel, and there was only one God Rank wizard guarding the Headquarters. It was their most vulnerable time!

Suddenly, an ear piercing alarm blasted out from the Magic Circle in front of him. It was from the very core of the Wizard Union.

Without hesitation, he directly gave up the Howling Castle and Flashed away.

In comparison to their core, the Howling Castle meant nothing!

He knew very well that as long as he acted fast enough, the one who had done the damage would not be able to escape!

Indeed, he spread his Power of the Will throughout the area as soon as he returned.

At that moment, Wizard Coleridge, who was dealing with God Rank Five up in the sky, also noticed something wrong and quickly Flashed back

He did not care about God Rank Five, and in fact he wouldn’t have cared even if God Rank Five chased after him and killed some wizards along the way.

But God Rank Five did no such thing. Instead, he Flashed away and disappeared.

Since Wizard Coleridge was not very far away, he returned to the Headquarters in a few Flashes and quickly exchanged gazes with Wizard Brook, before both of them headed down underground.

—

Meanwhile, Abel retracted his consciousness. Since Thief God Milton was in another world, even the soul chain couldn’t do much.

Instead, he directed his Power of the Will towards the sky.

Wizard Smith was a little confused about what Abel was doing, but he had already noticed the Fire Tooth battle fort on his way here. But since it had its protective shield up, the wizards couldn’t examine what was inside it.

“Wizard Smith, I think our talk can end here. Since the Wizard Union has been so kind to me, I’ll tell you something. I actually have had another God Rank with me all this time!” Abel said with some false embarrassment.

Simultaneously, he activated a Scroll of Town Portal in the Fire Tooth, and Thief God Milton quietly stepped out through the Portal. However, his portal object had been left in the Dark World.

Afterwards, the Portal closed again, and those wizards didn’t notice anything abnormal.

Wizard Smith and the God Rank wizards felt their heart tense as they turned towards the sky, and Thief God Milton flew out in front of them.

This time Thief God Milton did not hide himself. However, Abel did not turn off the protection from the Fire Tooth. It was his secret weapon, and all those wizards could sense was an energy shield.

“It’s the Thief God!” Wizard McPhee whispered to the others.

He was known as the God Rank Assassin and was feared by all legends, but as Thief God Milton stood in front of the wizards, they quickly felt their hearts lift again as Abel spoke.

“Wizard Smith, since you said that the Holy Kingdom was attacking the second line because of Thief God Milton, I recalled him even though our last chat did not end well!” Abel smiled.

He was coming across as friendly, trying to show that he wanted peace.

“Headmaster Abel, I believe we will continue to have peace!” Wizard Smith also smiled.

Since Abel had agreed, all the Wizard Union needed now was to place a request with the dwarves.

Abel’s attitude left them a lot less worried. After all, none of those God Rank wizards wanted another war while they were facing the Holy Kingdom.

As a peaceful atmosphere arose, a red-cloaked wizard suddenly ran forward.

Wizard Smith gave him a sharp gaze, but he quickly realized something must be wrong considering how panicked the red-cloaked wizard looked.

“Headmaster Abel, please wait a moment!” Wizard Smith stepped forward and bowed.

“Please!” Of course Abel knew what had happened, but he kept calm and acted like he knew nothing.

Wizard Smith stepped aside. His face quickly sank when he heard what the red-cloaked wizard had to say.

Since everyone around was God Rank other than Abel, Abel and the dragons could easily spy on what that red-cloaked wizard was saying. But they didn’t, instead chatting among themselves.

Wizard Smith bowed quickly and said, “Headmaster Abel, it seems like something happened at the Wizard Union Headquarters. I’m afraid I have to go!”

But before Abel could even reply, he and the other God Rank wizards Flashed towards the Teleportation Circle and disappeared.

“Those wizards really need to learn some manners!” Headmaster Eugene complained. Running away like this was very disrespectful even for common people, let alone top forces like them!

“We should really ask them for more benefits next time!” Headmaster Carlos added, as if what they had received wasn’t enough already.

“Maybe something big really did happen to their headquarters!” Abel smiled meaningfully.

Of course he knew what happened, but the stakes were too high to mention even a single thing about it.

At the same time, he decided to never call out God Rank Five again until he also became a God Rank.

Luckily he had given God Rank Five a makeover during this last operation, including a normal wizard’s cloak, so the Wizard Union shouldn’t be able to figure out that he could resurrect God Ranks.

Of course, there were a few dragons and the Moon Goddess who knew he could resurrect God Ranks, but it was highly unlikely that they would betray him.

The most suspicious figure would be Thief God Milton, which was why he had brought out the fellow right in front of the God Rank wizards just now.

But still, some suspicions might occur, since there were not many forces in this world who could be a threat to the Wizard Union.

All the wizards needed was some evidence, but finding it would depend on their ability!

“Headmaster Abel, you are too kind, still speaking for the Wizard Union after all that!” Headmaster Carlos shook his head.

He looked at Abel with some worry, as though Abel’s kindness was a weakness, but little did he know Abel had actually just done something world-altering!
