Chapter 409 Cliff Magic Tower

Obviously, the original Cliff Magic Tower was not here . It used to be where the wizards were in Denan City . Cliff was a more important man now, though . His wealth was enough to assemble the intelligence agency headquarters with his own magic tower . It was his ways of seizing control of the entire Wizard Union .

If Abel hadn’t learned about this, he might have just gone inside Denan City . He might come up with some sort of decoy strategy to call Wizard Cliff’s forces out . He knew how risky fighting an advanced wizard would be . He had a lot of summoned creatures, but only a few could handle the spells that wizards could cast .

Right now, his strongest summoned creature would be Flying Flame . Flying Flame could unleash attacks with his white flame, something that Wizard Cliff should not be able to do, let alone survive being hit by one of the flame balls .

There was also Johnson . Johnson was highly-resistant against spells . If it could get close enough to Wizard Cliff, its insane physical attacks would be more than enough to take him down .

Finally, there was the spiritual guardian knight captain . It was both resilient against ice and fire attacks . Most importantly, it could move at the same speed as Wizard Cliff’s “instantaneous movement’ technique . For any of his attacks to work, Abel must make sure that Wizard Cliff couldn’t run away from .

“Instantaneous movement” was a very difficult spell to fight against . None of Abel’s magic circles were enough to trap Wizard Cliff . He could try to throw a super exploding ball at him . If that alone was enough to kill him, so be it . If not, he had to resort to an even more aggressive form of attack .

White Cloud had already been flying for two days . It flew over the Earth-Dividing Basin, Earth-Dividing Mountain Range, the duchy of Tex, and the duchy of Larvid . After that, it arrived at the Kingdom of St . Ellis . To avoid the detection by the Wizard Union, Abel told it to fly at extremely high altitudes . White Cloud was so good in situations like these . It was like a super-convenient airplane . Abel would need to feed it one bottle of the blue howling rabbit ration potion for several days of feed . Not just that, but the ration potion was so good that it didn’t even need to sleep . It could just stay in the sky for days without ever landing .

Abel used a scope to look at the 16-floor magic tower in front of him . Since the entire tower was made of black mourning stones, it was not very hard to pick it out from the entire landscape .

Mourning stone was an extremely rare substance . It was mainly used by important people to make underground escape tunnels and escape chambers . They were very scarce, and often sold at extremely rare prices . Most importantly, they were only sold to very special people . Because of how rare this material is, not even the place that produced it had enough supply of it for themselves .

Mourning stone got its name because of how hard it was . If someone hid in a house that was built with Mourning stone, their enemies wouldn’t be able to do anything to him . If it wasn’t for how hard it was to mend its shapes, it would’ve had a lot more useful than to be as building materials .

If the mourning stone could withstand spell attacks, it would be a lot more expensive than it already was . Instead of taking spell attacks right on, however, it had the broken ability to transfer spell attacks to anywhere behind it . For example, if a fireball was cast on the mourning stone, the mourning stone would deflect the fireball to the object behind it .

This was why mourning stone’s were the perfect material to build magic towers . The wizards could use a layer of it on the outside and have a magic defense circle on the inside . That way, more resources could be put into magic defense than physical defense .

As for where Wizard Cliff got all these mourning stones, he probably got it from all the people he’s been oppressing and messing with over the years . The amount he used on this tower was, to be frank, more than even ten years of the entire market’s supply . It just showed how scary his influence over the Holy Continent was . Abel knew all about that, obviously . The more important his status became, the more he learned to be calculating and careful about everything . This was why he asked Bernie to get him all this information about the St . Ellis . Wizard Union . In a very short amount of time, he was able to learn all there was to Wizard Cliff and his magic tower .

When Abels scanned across with his scope, he could see that there were a bunch of red-cloaked wizards and some grey-cloaked wizard disciples . It was a special area, so there were no commoners . From what the Goff family told him, Wizard Cliff was extremely exasperated with how he lost the man who was supposed to bring him his magic staff . For the past few days, that was all that his agency’s men were investigating .

As for why Wizard Cliff didn’t go to the Blacksmith Union headquarters himself, he decided that it was for the best if he didn’t try to anger the dwarves right now . He wasn’t afraid of the humans, but those advanced dwarven wizards would definitely be willing to fight him for Abel . He was a 300-year-old man . At this point, life was much more important than the ingredients he lost . Wizard Cliff was still starting to regret having Abel as his scapegoat . He didn’t expect him to be this influential, otherwise, he would have blamed the Keyen Magic Tower incident at someone else . Still, since what’s done was already done, the only resolution for him was to kill Abel himself .

White Cloud lowering itself to 800 meters from the sky . Abel did not even need his scope to see the ground clearly . Right now, White Cloud was using its invisibility ability to fly on top of the Cliff Magic Tower .

Abel readied his giant ballista, his arrow with a special net on it, and began pulling the string . He was like a god, watching over the people under him moving about like an army of ants .

“Die as you burn in the fire of my rage!” Abel tried to mimic the tone of a spirit .

The trigger was pulled . A giant arrow flew towards the magic tower . Just before that, his druid spirit reached for a 6-second-delay super exploding ball in his personal storage box . It took him a very short time to put it in the net on his arrow .

When the arrow flew towards the ground, a slight ripple appeared at where it pierced the air . White Cloud was still invisible, but a small opening was made at the barrier outside its body .
