Chapter 873: Chapter 873 – Wizard Emir

Leon and Ruin really weren’t sure what to say anymore after hearing what Wizard Emir told them . They could not think of just themselves . They had families behind them, and they had to be more considerate .

Not Priest Giant Horn, though . He couldn’t wait .

“I’ll help you break through his defense, Wizard Emir . ”

As he said that, he activated a “bone spear” and shot the defensive circle . His eight skeletons, too, ran towards the defensive circle . The circle Abel built was a small-sized defensive circle . While it wasn’t so strong, the top-level energy stones Abel put in managed to keep it in place even in the face of an advanced priest’s attack . The circle broke after several seconds . When it broke, Johnson was covering the tent with its body .

Johnson knew that its master left, so it was ready to change its shape back to human form . At the same time, it used the titan armor to protect itself . It also had the lightning long spear in its hands . Leon and Ruin hoped that they could help, but the adventure contract forbade them from stopping Priest Giant Horn . The contract was strict on attacking team members .

Ruin screamed very loudly, “Be careful, Wizard Abel!”

“Damn!”

A gloomy look flashed across Wizard Emir’s face . He pointed his staff towards Ruin and an “ice sharp pillar” shot . Ruin was about to dodge it, but he felt a very strong suppressive power that came right towards him . Ruin was a rank seventeen, so the rank nineteen Wizard Emir would be able to overwhelm him with just his presence . This way, even if Ruin tried his best to dodge the attacks, he would always be a lot slower in whatever attempts that he made .

During this time, Leon already transformed himself into a worgen with his “worgen shift” druid technique . His speed was instantly increased so that he could pull Ruin away before the ice sharp pillar hit him . Simultaneously, the lightning long spear in Johnson’s hand was stabbed right towards Wizard Emir . There was no time to protect the tent at all, but Abel couldn’t care less right now . Ruin and Leon had already done more than they should’ve . He had no reasons to desert his friends nor see them get harmed for his sake .

Anyways, the lightning long spear in Johnson’s hands started accelerating . It became a streak of lightning that was hit Wizard Emir . As a very experienced fighter, Wizard Emir responded quickly by casting one “instantaneous movement” spell . He was a rank nineteen, but that didn’t mean that he was willing to face a ten-meter tall metallic monster . When he got into range, he went for a snipe with the “blizzard” spell . He was aiming for Johnson’s head .

Johnson was big, but it wasn’t slow to wait for the snowflake attacks to come towards it . It quickly backed away, and when it came to the front of the tent, it smashed the skeletons trying to break the seclusion circle .

Priest Giant Horn screamed as he cast the “damage increase” onto Johnson, “For your family, Ruin and Leon, Do not lay your hands on them! You don’t know what the Blizzard clan is capable of! Make sure you think things through before you act . ”

It wasn’t like he didn’t want to use the “aging” curse, but judging from how fast Johnson was, he just didn’t have the confidence to use a spell rune that would take too long to draw . He was a bit too close to Johnson . He could only try to respond with his most rapid of curses .

Meanwhile, the claystone guard in front of him started to move again . It was stuck in between him and Johnson . Wizard Emir moved again with his “instantaneous movement . ” He entered into the seclusion circle . He wasn’t sure what would happen if he went in, but he figured that a rank sixteen wizard, even a prodigy like Abel, was not yet capable of doing any real harm to him . Again, he went outside the tent and looked at Priest Giant Horn with a very sour look on his face .

He screamed scornfully, “Abel is not in the tent!”

Priest Giant Horn screamed in amazement, “Impossible! I saw him going in . I’ve had the skeletons keeping watch the whole time . There’s no way he left!”

While Priest Giant Horn’s skeletons weren’t so powerful, they were like his extra eyes t . The camp he picked was an empty field . Its nearby five hundred square meters were all empty . It was picked deliberately so that Abel would be found even if he tried to use the “instantaneous movement’ to escape . The skeletons could see him in plain sight, and he could also track him down by sensing a mana ripple in the air .

Or so that was the plan . Abel just disappeared from the tent . Ruin and Leon couldn’t help but look at each other in the eyes . Joy appeared on their faces . If Abel wasn’t just meditating, he probably already got a way to fight back .

Wizard Emir looked around and said solemnly, “Abel’s not getting out of this . I’ve set up a trapping circle in all corners . Even if he’s a bird, he’s not getting out of this one!”

The “sky-banning circle” was a tabooed circle . It was a large spell circle that was capable of moving . The trade-off for that was that a lot of the original functions were reduced . The only function that was left was its ability to lock up the entire area . It was not capable of something more intricate, such as having the user search up the spell circle details .

Anyways, when he saw that Johnson was still inside the circle, it kind of just meant that Abel hadn’t left yet . He was most likely still around somewhere .

Priest Giant Horn said to Wizard Emir, “Kill Johnson first! Wizard Abel’s going to come out quickly after that . ”

Having heard that, Johnson immediately shifted its target and rushed towards Priest Giant Horn . Priest Giant Horn knew how terrifying Johnson could be if it was to land a hit on him . He wasn’t going to bet his chances even with the “white bone armor” on . Instead, he decided to go with the safer option, letting the skeletons come to stop Johnson . As for Wizard Emir, he decided to close in on him himself .

Wizard Emir humphed coldly, “That’s too prideful of you . ”

As he said that, he immediately teleported himself right next to Johnson . At the same time, he used his two hands to unleash the “frost new star . ” The two blue ice rings were activated from the inside of his body . He released it immediately after his “instantaneous movement,” which caught Johnson immediately by surprise . Johnson tried to fight off plenty of wizards before, but this was the first time anyone tried to get so close inside its attack range .

Johnson couldn’t respond very quickly to this sudden attack . With two ice rings activated, it was hit without even the time to change into its ice-resistant multi-surfaced metallic spheres . It could still hold off a lot of the power with its elemental resistance, but the slowing effect did not reduce at all . Wizard Emir was a rank nineteen, and the “frost new star” was just as effective as to anyone else . It had to do with what Johnson was, really . There was still quite a distance between an advanced-level spiritual beast and a top-level spiritual beast .

Again, Wizard Emir used the “instantaneous movement” to teleport next to Priest Giant Horn . The “blizzard” in his hand was activated . Since Johnson was slowed, it didn’t have a way to dodge the snowflakes falling from the sky . This was not something to be overlooked . Every snowflake could deal a terrifying amount of freezing damage . It also contained more slowing effect, so Johnson was constantly interrupted from using any freeze slowing effect .

Abel was observing Johnson’s state right now . He had never seen a rank nineteen wizard fight before, so he decided to take the chance to observe from an eight-hundred-meter distance . It was quite safe, but he could still feel the subtle suppressive force Wizard Emir had over him . If he was just a bit closer, he might just lose his ability to cast any spells . It kind of just showed how terrifyingly awful it was to face against a wizard that was about a level or two higher .

Abel spoke through the soul chain, “Go help Johnson, Jason . ”

As he said that, a black hole appeared right in the middle of the camp . Due to the mystic headband’s help, it became very easy for him to activate the exit of the portal beast ring to whatever spot he wanted .

Out of the black hole, Jason’s whole body armor was covered in red hot lightning . The lightning long spear in his hand appeared right next to Johnson . With a flick of its arm, a red streak of lightning appeared right from the inside of the spear and flew towards Wizard Emir . Again, Wizard Emir teleported himself to the other side of the battlefield for a dodge . This time, he responded by throwing another “blizzard” spell right on Jason’s head .

Jason was that fast, but it was perfectly okay for it to escape out of the blizzard’s range . It didn’t leave, though . Instead, it shot out another streak of lightning with its lightning-long spear . Its motive was clear . As long as Johnson could get out of the frost slowing effect, this battle would definitely chance towards a much more advantageous position .

As for Wizard Emir, he wasn’t planning on blocking this lightning with his own body . He was doing it out of instinct . It wasn’t like he didn’t know a bunch of very powerful defensive spells, but the regular response was to just dodge any incoming threat with a quick, simple “instantaneous movement . ” Yes, the defensive spells might hold off the attacks, but once the spell was broken, all that was left of a wizard would be his flesh and nothing else to guard himself with .

After having teleported so many times, Wizard Emir could no longer continue casting the “blizzard” spell towards Johnson, which was finally starting to find its way out of the spell that kept it trapped this whole time .

While trying to make a dodge, Jason stood and let snowflakes fall right on top of its head . When they landed on it, however, the snowflakes immediately evaporated over its burning body . It was very hard to stop it with the freezing slowing effect when its body temperature was this high . Meanwhile, Johnson’s body was protected by the divine-level armor . Even when directly under the “blizzard’ spell, there was only so much energy that was wasted from that Redstone it was wearing outside . It was just like Jason . As long as its head was not destroyed, it would not sustain any sort of heavy injury if it tried to suck onto the Redstone for a full recovery . To break its head, though, one would have to get through the protection of the divine armor, and that was no easy thing to do at all .

Johnson decided to move . It activated its speed with everything it’s got . The lightning long spear in its hand thrust endlessly towards the skeletons that were protecting Priest Giant Horn . At the same time, Jason became a gigantic cannon stand which, instead of using the “lightning” spell, was now shooting an endless streak of white fireballs . The two stone giants did wonderfully as they cooperated . One was still while the other was moving . One was shooting elemental attacks from afar, whereas one was clearing the battlefield with its melee attack . For a moment there, even Wizard Emir couldn’t do much harm at all towards them .

As for Priest Giant Horn, he’s never been in this much danger today . He started to look scared . . He could summon as many skeletons around him as he wanted, but there were simply not enough corpses left to use . He didn’t have a large portal bag with him, so he didn’t really have the ammunition to sustain for a long-lasting battle . No, especially not against a monstrous being like Johnson, which could smash the skeletons with literally just one or two hits . Without the skeletons’ protection, he didn’t think that he would be able to guarantee his safety any longer . A look of hesitation started to appear on his face .

“Come out!” Priest GIant Horn suddenly cried out . From his hidden bone portal item, an eight-meter-tall Beamon giant beast was summoned .

Ruin screamed in fright, “You are a madman, Giant Horn! How could you resurrect something like that?”

As the orcs’ most powerful force, the Beamon giant beast was like a war god amongst the orcs . It was worshipped for being the strongest fighting force on land . When it was alive, the orcs would do all they could to provide it with the best living conditions . When it was dead, its body would be preserved in the Land of the Everlasting Slumber so that no one would try to intrude . That being said, what Priest Giant Horn was doing was actually strictly against the rules . If the other orcs knew, he would definitely be hunted down till the end of his life .

Priest Giant Horn said grimly, “I’ve taken out my trump card already, Wizard Emir . Please, make sure you do your part to keep this a secret . ”

Wizard Emir nodded, “Of course . I’ll make sure to clear off any possible danger you may face . ”

With that, the Beamon giant beast let out a long roar towards heaven and rushed towards Johnson . It wasn’t as fast as Johnson, but it still far exceeded what most were capable of dealing against .

The lightning spear in Johnson’s hands went for a sweeping motion in response as it tried to deflect the Beamon giant beast’s rushing attack . It was fast, and since the two were directly colliding against each other, there wasn’t really any opportunity for a sideway dodge .

Boom .

Just like that, the lightning long spear swept towards the Beamon giant beast like a whip that’s slashed against firm leather . Beamon had no choice but to take two hard steps backward . The Beamon giant beast screamed as lightning arcs started flashing across its body . Again, it tried for another rush towards Johnsons . For Abel, he was very surprised that Johnson’s attack didn’t actually do anything to the giant beast . Its defensive capability was much more than what he could imagine . Perhaps that’s just how it was . It looked like Johnson and Jason were not capable of struggling on for too long .

It’s not like he didn’t trust Johnson’s toughness, though . If anything, he always believed that no one could really deal any heavy damage towards it . Jason was a different story . Having just become Abel’s summon creature, there was not really the time to modify many its functions .
