Chapter 764: To Get the Prizes

For the advanced orc priests of the Orc Empire, it didn’t matter how many orcs Abel killed on the orc battlefield . He could deter the Orc Empire’s invasion plan in however ways he wished, and it wouldn’t affect them in any direct way .

The advanced orc priests could live very long . They had plenty of time to wait for the Orc Empire to rise again . In fact, having many dead orcs could help ease the problem of the lack of produce . Even if most of them didn’t die immediately, the mass starvation would still take their lives away .

Still, Abel destroyed sacred relics . That was something that they couldn’t tolerate . It was an act that threatened their core interests, and they were willing to go at any length to lure him to come to the Orc Empire . It was a desperate measure, honestly speaking . With the Budapest Mountain as somewhat of an exception, the advanced priests would always be detected if they tried to step on human territories .

Again, no one wanted to risk a full-on battle between the intermediate-high orc priests and the advanced wizards . Other than that, Abel’s Harry Castle did kill three advanced wizards before, so the orcs weren’t all that confident in committing a direct assault anyway .

When the advanced priests knew about how Abel got his own four griffin knights, that was when they began to do a serious analysis of his personality . From then on, they formed a plan that was based on using Griffins as baits .

Right now, inside two of the human seclusion circles, there were a total of six advanced orc priests . If Abel was bold enough to charge in right away, that would be six advanced orc priests that were going to surround him . He had no ways of knowing about that, actually . He did suspect that some special forces were hidden in this trap, but he didn’t think too much of it .

Still, just for the sake of safety, Abel put on the invisibility cloak himself . With the headband that was sown to his hoodie, his power of the Will was buffed from 300 to 600 .

“Lower, White Cloud!’ Abel commanded . Soon, they were about one hundred meters away from the ground . The wind pressure was strong enough to blow up dust from below .

“What’s this?” Priest Cyrus asked, “Why is it getting windy all of a sudden?”

Priest Daniel shook his head, “It’s a bit weird to me . We should go check on it together . ”

The advanced priests could try all they wanted, but White Cloud was invisible . While it couldn’t hide the wind pressure coming from its flapping giant wings, no one was able to spot its body or detect its presence . It wasn’t a spiritual beast that excelled at fighting, but it had other perks that would make it be classified as a legendary beast .

Abel was already on Balck Wind’s back . His target was the Griffins, so there wasn’t any need to fight the orcs . It would be a success as long as he could take the Griffins back with him .

“Black Wind!’ Abel shouted, “Instantaneous movement!”

After activating its base ability, Black Wind disappeared from White Cloud’s back with Abel . They then appeared at the yard where the Griffins were captured . Since Abel was already in his invisibility cloak, he and Black Wind became invisible before the instantaneous movement spell was activated .

Still, as soon as he appeared in the yard, the Griffins were starting to take notice of something . They were starved, however . Normally, they would be very rattled by this kind of presence, but they were just too weakened to show many reactions .

A head wolfrider captain howled, “Don’t move, you flying insects!”

This head wolfrider captain had been in a very bad mood lately . He never wanted it, but he was ordered to take his squad to take care of these ten Griffins . Now that these beasts were about to die of starvation, he started to get worried even more every day .

Abel was completely still when he was observing the head wolfrider captain . From what he could see, five regular soldiers were mixing raw beef behind him . It looked like they were trying to prepare food .

“Charge . ”

The charge was the only regular head knight commander technique Abel’s ever mastered . Because of the speed buff that Black Wind gave him, it just made the attack several times faster than it should .

The invisibility mode was gone when the head wolfrider captain noticed something strange . It was too late, though . Black Wind had already gone past the five wolfrider soldiers . Abel was cutting through all their throats with one stroke of his knight’s big sword . When he appeared in front of the head wolfrider captain, it looked like the soldiers were still mixing beef in blood .

The head wolfrider captain tried to scream, but his voice was slower than the blade swung at him . “Charge” was a very powerful technique, and the five soldiers weren’t the target at all . They just happened to be in the blade’s way . The real target was the leader himself . Before he even opened his mouth, his head was already severed from his body . He died a very silent death .

When the head wolfrider captain was about to lose consciousness, he saw the human that killed him . It was the target that they were waiting for . It was a human wizard . If he could still speak, he would’ve talked about how surprised he was . The information he got was that Grandmaster Abel was a wizard, but the way he died was through a head knight commander’s legendary technique .

There wasn’t much time left . Soon, combat qi smoke would start to rise from the dead head wolfrider captain . Abel tried to be faster . By pointing with his power of the Will, Black Wind became an invisible shadow running only towards the ten Griffins .

With a swing of his blade, Abel cut the chains that locked up the first Griffin . It was a lot easier than it sounded . Orcs didn’t have a lot of metal, and it wasn’t like they knew about forgery at all . The chains were made with regular steel . Cutting it with a blade made with fine steel was like cutting thin pieces of parchment paper .

Without the time to react, the Griffin that was rescued was swallowed by an empty black hole . Abel just activated his portal beast ring . The same happened to the second and third Griffins . In just a few seconds, all ten Griffins were put into his portal beast rings .

By now, the two human seclusion circles had disappeared . The six advanced orc priests were coming at Abel on their mounts . They already noticed him when he was using his charge technique, but he was just too fast for them to hit . When they got out of the seclusion circles, all the Griffins were already put into the portal beast ring .

There was something else that was faster than the advanced orc priests . About forty-eight skeletons were running towards Abel, and no, they were not skeletons in the mid-low tier . In terms of both offensive and defensive capability, they were all stronger than head wolfrider captains .

“Grandmaster Abel! We got him!”

As the one who came up with the trap himself, it would make sense that Priest Daniel would be so happy to see Abel here . He did get majority support when he proposed the plan, but there was also quite some opposition when it came to the cost that was put in . The worgens living in the wolf garden, especially . They had to sacrifice a lot just to get Abel to come .

Now that Abel was here, the operation was pretty much a success . It was one thing to actually kill Abel, but Priest Daniel’s already proven his intelligence by having him come here . He had already proven plenty of his own worth .
