Chapter 886: Team

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Although it was impossible to tell what time it was underground, an elite wizard could always sense the rising sun.

Abel did not enter the Dark World. Instead, he went to sleep after meditating and practicing the blue dragon crystal breathing technique. He woke up the next morning after a dreamless night.

After taking a shower, the wizard badge in his portal object began to vibrate.

He took it out and connected with his power of the will. Soon, a voice emerged.

“Wizards Abel, I am Wizard Frank. the captain told me to meet you in the operation area on the first floor!” A deep voice emerged.

“I’ll be on my way!” Abel replied.

He teleported from the short distance teleportation circle to the corridor on the first floor. When he stepped into the operation space, a rank 17 wizard was already waiting for him.

“Wizard Abel, I am Wizard Frank, please follow me!’ He smiled and bowed at Abel.

Abel remembered wizard Frank from the wizard war, but of course, he didn’t introduce himself last time.

“Thank you, Wizard Frank!” Abel bowed back and followed him to a short distance teleportation circle on the left.

“I’ll take you around today. Next time you can directly teleport from your accommodation to our training grounds! Wizard Frank stood beside Abel on the short distance teleportation circle and ignited it.

After they touched the ground, a spacious room emerged in front of Abel. It was 20 meters tall with many strange-looking facilities. There were many elite wizards around, and Abel sensed he had returned above ground.

“This is normally where teams do their training. Most of them are elite wizards, and they come here when there are no missions!” Wizard Frank smiled.

Afterward, Wizard Frank placed his hand on Abel’s shoulder. Abel did not reject him, and they vanished in a flash.

Even normal wizards would move in a flash instead of walking, let alone the ones from the Lightnings. Therefore, move in a flash would not be banned in wizard organizations. It really saved time.

After a few flashes, Abel saw Wizard Hogg and the other 8 members of the main team. There were also 8 rank 16 and 17 wizards by the side.

“Captain Hogg, Abel is here!’ Wizard Frank bowed.

“Ok, you can return to the team now!” Wizard Hogg nodded, and Wizard Frank flashed back to the main team.

“Today, I will like to welcome a new member to our team. He is a 19-year-old genius wizard who came from a subcontinent, WIzard Abel. I believe the members of the main team have seen him before !” Wizard Hogg smiled.

“Captain, of course, we saw him. How can we forget that mana cannon!” A rank 19 wizard yelled.

“Evans is the mana cannon must be the only thing in your mind. Do you know wizard Abel is a Grandmaster Blacksmith as well?” Wizard Hogg smiled at Wizard Evans.

It seems like the bonds between the members of team no.3 were very good. There was no tension between them, and it created a welcoming atmosphere for Abel.

“Grandmaster Blacksmith? Too bad we don’t have blacksmiths in the Lightning clan. What a waste of Abel’s potential. I thought only the dwarfs could become Grandmaster Blacksmiths!” Wizard Evans was shocked.

A Blacksmith needed powerful strength and dedication, this fundamentally contradicts wizards’ training, so there were rarely any wizard Blacksmiths. Not even the Lightnings.

“Evans, I know Wizard Abel was recognized as a Grandmaster Blacksmith due to his magic staff making skills!” Wizard Hogg laughed. He researched Abel, and he knew a lot about him, just like every member of his team.

He got most of Abel’s information from the wizard union in the Holy Continent. Abel’s life had already been legendary in just those 20 short years.

Therefore, he acted fast and invited Abel to his team.

“Wizard Abel, our magic staff in the future depends on you!” A fiery passion lit up in Wizard Evans’ eyes, just as other members of the team.

Although there were 5 grandmaster Blacksmiths in the Central Continent, they were all dwarfs, and they were rarely seen. The price of their products was shocking.

“No problem. You just need to give me the resources, and ill make one for you!” Abel did not reject. Making magic staff was too easy for him.

“Captain, wizard Abel shouldn’t go out to war with a status like that. We should protect him!” A rank 19 wizard called Harold called.

He only saw Abel’s mana cannon in the fight, so he was unsure of Abel’s power.

“This is another reason I invited Wizard Abel here today. Besides getting to know each other better in our free time, I also want to test out wizard Abel’s ability. He is a 19-year-old elite wizard. I don’t want a genius like that to waste his talent and become a full-time Blacksmith!” Wizard Hogg said.

Wizard Harold almost forgot Abel was a 19-year-old genius wizard as well. If he was gifted in Lightning spells, breaking through rank 20 was just a matter of time.

Up to this point, he kept his mouth and began to anticipate the testing result.

“Captain, how am I going to be tested?” Abel asked.

“Wizard Abel. There are levels to lightning talent, which is what I will test you. The lightning talent points you have are very important to break through rank 20!” Wizard Hogg explained.

Abel nodded and saw Wizard Hogg took out his magic staff.

“Lightning spirit, I requested a lightning talent test!” Wizard Hogg yelled.

“Request confirmed!” A robotic voice emerged from a magic circle by the side, and the ground began to move. Afterward, a black cube emerged from it.

“Wizard Abel. This is the lightning talent testing rock. Put away all the objects with strong elements on you and attack them with a full force lightning strike from your body’s power only!

“Ok!” Abel nodded.

He put his snake Sharman skill and Jade of Jordan back in his Varaya’s ring and put the super grand fire charm in the personal storage box. He did so through his power of the will so others could only see the change of gear on his body, not the details.

Of course, no team members would scan Abel with the power of the will in front of everyone anyway.

After everything was set, Abel reached his right hand forward, and a lightning spell pattern appeared. A lightning strike flew towards the black rock.

The rock sparkled in electric arcs, but not a single mark was made. It was no ordinary rock, after all.

“Lightning damage 337 points!” The robotic sound of the lightning spirit emerged.

Even Wizard Hogg was stunned. 337 points were the maximum amount of lightning damage one could do without gear assistance.

He turned his gaze towards Abel, and an admiring look emerged on his face. If Abel continued to grow, the Lightnings would soon have another law-defying wizard.

“Everyone needs to keep the result today a secret!” Wizard Hogg lowered his voice and said seriously.

“Yes, captain!” Everyone in the team knew what that result indicated. Having another Headmaster Harr was the worst nightmare of the Lightnings’ enemy.

“Harold. Wizard Abel’s wizard talent is more important than his Blacksmith ability. He will work according to the rule of the team!” Wizard Hogg lowered his voice.

Wizard Harold nodded. Although being a Grandmaster Blacksmith was important. What Abel’s top lightning levels, as well as his gift as a rank 19 Wizard, made his journey to becoming a law-defying wizard almost inevitable.

A lightning law-defying wizards were one of most respected even in the world of law-defying wizards. How could a powerful figure like that be used as a blacksmith?

Becoming a law-defying wizard took large amounts of resources. No one would give Abel those resources for free, so it was up to him to join a team and go into battle.

Most resources could be bought, but things like light gems could only be obtained through killing Holy knights in a battle.

At first, some team members were complaining about how Abel could get a room on the 10th floor as soon as he arrived, but they all kept their mouths shut. They accepted his status as a Grandmaster Blacksmith and newly tested power easily.

With Abel’s talent on top of that, an even higher floor would make sense.

“Wizard Abel, do you want to challenge a member of the main team?” Wizard Hogg turned to Abel and asked.

“Yes, captain, I want to challenge a member from the main team!” Confidence flashed in Abel’s eyes as he nodded.

He needed a lot of light gems for training. He already had a bunch on him, but they wouldn’t last for long if he used them for training every day. Unlike other wizards, he had powerful beasts to protect him and attack in battle.

“Wizard Frank, go fight Abel!” Wizard Hogg turned to WIzard Frank and said.

“Yes, Captain!” Wizard Frank helplessly nodded. Fights like this took quite a bit of effort. If he lost, it would be a huge embarrassment.

The main team members would not give out their spot for free, so you could only become a member of the main team by challenging one of them. This was why they only had 10 members in the main team.

“Lightning spirit, I request a challenge mode!” WIzard Hogg took out his wizard badge again and said.

Soon a 200 meters square shape arena emerged in front of the wizards. It was more than enough for 2 elite wizards to fight on top!

“Wizard Abel, I won’t hold back!” Wizard Frank flashed on top of the area and laughed.

Abel also appeared, and he let Johnson out. Wizard Frank’s face remained still.

He saw Johnson before, but this time it could not use the mana cannon. A giant beast like that couldn’t do someone who could flash like him.

“Let the fight begin!” Wizard Hogg yelled.

As soon as the words were said, Abel sensed an immense threat. He immediately flashed away and dodged a lightning strike from Wizard Frank.

It was the fastest spell casting Abel had ever seen. He rarely encountered any wizard with lightning talent, so he never had much experience fighting them. If his senses were not so strong, he would be struck already.

Wizard Frank was also shocked. He was extremely experienced, and he already had a lightning strike spell pattern prepared in his hand before Wizard Hogg’s announcement.

This was not against the rules, but none of them told Abel about it since they didn’t want Abel to pass the challenge at one go.

It was not that they wanted to give Abel a hard time, but they needed to pressure him. This was how they treated every newcomer. A smooth ride could boost their ego, and it could cost their life in battles.

Wizard Frank thought there was no way Abel could dodge his spell without preparation, but he was wrong.

Wizard Hogg watched from the side. With Abel’s flashing speed, he could definitely preserve his life in the face of any wizard less than 2 ranks above him, as long as he didn’t get too arrogant.
