Chapter 378: 378

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 .
