Chapter 1213: Promotion to Become Legendary

Inside the Rogue’s Encampment, Abel was sitting with his legs crossed on top of his futon with the large-sized mana gathering circle around him. In the past seven months, he increased the amount of time he was spending inside the dark world. Every day, he would spend around 15 days inside the dark world. Although it was only 6 months since he was on the central continent, his rune was already about full by now.

To boost his fighting capability just a bit more, Abel became quite busy, spending most of his time selling potions he gained from the frontline in exchange for more light stones. That wasn’t his only source of light stones, as he never stopped trading with the Wizard Union, the dwarves, and the lightning clan. In a sense, his storage of light stone had been in surplus for a while now, and because of this, he could just keep training without reserve until today, when he finally received a fill.

His rank 25 wizard rune was full. Barely anyone made it this far on the central continent, and he managed to get there when he was 21 years old. Still, he wasn’t so different from those law-defying wizards. He believed that he wasn’t going to spend much time in this state. In fact, no one really knew if he was going to stay in his full state. He was sitting on his futon right now. He knew that it was only a bit until he could reach that point.

After entering into rank 25, he had been training for about a total of 7 years inside the dark world now. During this time, he never stopped using the light stone. The mana was so concentrated inside the dark world, it actually just became the best training ground for wizards. Under the cultivation of the three goddess statue fountain water, the wisdom tree was now producing the wisdom fruits as fast as it was biologically allowed to.

Meanwhile, Abel was collecting recipes the three law-defying wizards might have uses for. He wanted to see if he could plant the sprouts in the herb garden inside the Blood Moor. Under the care of the high elves and the help of the oak tree, everything he planted eventually ended inside three of his dark golden training potions. Because of this, he became a wizard that most central continent wizards couldn’t dream of matching even if they had several hundred years.

Abel took out a wisdom fruit, “I’ll be able to reach full state after having this one.”

Today, Abel’s been doing his absolute best to train. He didn’t even unleash his angelic body just so he could focus better. He had the wisdom fruit inside his mouth, and he quickly sensed bizarre energy rushing into his main spirit so he could enter into a state of meditation.

Whilst having the meditation, the strange energy became three elemental energy after it was inserted into the main spirit, which entered into three rank 25 wizard runes. These would probably take at least a few months. The single wisdom fruit was just completed like that. He knew that if he wasn’t so lucky, he would’ve never been there so quickly. He thought he might need to defeat the last boss on the last continent and bless himself with the song of life to receive another breakthrough. Now, even without the song of life, he could always rely on the wisdom fruit to enhance his process at a speed that was observable to most.

Once the three elements entered his wizard runes, the runes became much more stabilized, so much so that his rune was pretty much complete. This was the mark of the runes reaching full, but the meditation was far from over yet. The top-level gemstones in his hands and the mana that was transformed were already passing through into the wizard rune under the help of his power of the Will. The mana that entered in, however, started flowing out.

Abel didn’t stop. Once the meditation began, it couldn’t stop. This was why the wizards would always become so defenseless and vulnerable once they became weaker. This wasn’t without its advantage, though. His three rank 25 runes just became a lot more refined because of this process. Quickly, a promotion qi started rising out of his body, and it was much stronger, many times stronger than any of the promotions he experienced in the past.

Thief God Milton and Knight Wale were just standing from not far. One was a divine spirit, and another one was a legendary figure. Both were ranked above Abel, so they became the only ones that served as references if he wanted to promote. Of course, nothing was left inside their conscience apart from their fighting instincts, so Abel wasn’t even sure if they could really help.

Now, the reason legendary figures were called that was that, truly, they’ve already exceeded what most humans were like. Legendary bodies were no longer ordinary bodies but bodies that were converted by energies. Before becoming legendary figures, while becoming a law-defying wizard, the law-defying wizards’ spirits would already be transformed once such that their spirits would be very different from advanced wizards. This was why advanced wizards wouldn’t even be able to stand straight if law-defying wizards didn’t want them to. Legendary wizards were above even that, and the process of becoming legendary wizards was very dangerous. There were many risks involved, and even the slightest mistake would make it so that the body could no longer function in a manner that could facilitate promotion.

From what Abel read from records he saw from the Wizard Union, wizards would often prepare a large pool of energy if they were aiming to hit legendary rank. At the same time, they had to prepare as much treasure as they could, so they would need to protect their lives at all times. Remember, most injuries that happened during legendary promotion were not treatable, even if healing potions or even “super healing potions” from the dark world.

The process of promotion to become a legendary wizard was a procedure of a lifetime. The injuries that might arise were not inflicted by something physical or elemental but spiritual. Only a few rare materials could treat these, and the extent to which they could treat injuries could vary quite a lot.

As there were always a number of limits as to how much promotion qi could be contained, once it was all depleted, the body would have too much to treat injuries and not enough for promotion, which was why the promotion would just fail. Worse yet, a failed attempt would mean that there was no next time. Once a body was transformed to reach above rank 25, the effect was virtually irreversible.

Abel’s druid spirit just took out a bunch of top-level light stones from his portal bag. There were about 500 something in total, which was even more than maybe even the number of mad knights in the Nation of God right now. If he didn’t have the Horadric Cube so that it could forge a light stone on its own, perhaps the only place he could go see these light stones would be the warehouse of the Wizard Union.

Following up next, it was the 10000 freezing element gemstones, 10000 fire element gemstones, and 10000 lightning element gemstones, which were just poured on the ground like they were some pebbles found on the treat. They were definitely worthed much more than pebbles, but the most they could do here was to add some more element concentration to the surroundings.

Abel’s skin started becoming transparent after he was inside the promotion qi. His muscles and veins started to be seen clearly. He didn’t have the time to pay attention to that. The pain was so great that he couldn’t pay attention to anything else. Under the influence of the promotion qi, a large amount of energy started swarming in such that the light stones nearby started being sucked into his skin. He didn’t know if this was what happened to the other legendary wizards, but he could only rely on himself right now. Very rapidly, his power of the Will became endless streaks of networks that covered up his entire skin at every spot. The transformation process was not automatic. If there was one spot that he neglected, accidents might just arise.

The invisible skin started showing up once more, but the skin was becoming very different from the start. His skin was becoming like jade. The promotion qi started transforming his muscles. All his muscles started stretching and contracting, and every time this was happening, more energy would swarm in and transform the muscles into energy. As the pains started swarming, his power of the Will started waving, and two sets of muscles on his back started snapping suddenly. The promotion qi would then have to be swarmed to those two sets of muscles to commence the repairing process.

Abel did remember seeing some guides on that. If the promotion qi was depleted too much by accident, the entire promotion would just result in failure. His body was becoming stronger than most law-defying wizards, which made the promotion qi much more than ordinary law-defying wizards. He could not make any mistakes here, in a sense. If he failed, his promotion might just be incomplete, even if he achieved it.

Under the flash of purple light, the injury that could only be repaired by the very few rare materials started repairing in an instance, miraculously. The promotion qi was stopped. Again, they started rushing towards different parts of the body. Abel let out a long sigh in his mind. Thankfully, he owned a resource tank that nobody could match. Otherwise, he might just fail permanently right here. He didn’t have the experience, though. He trained for less than a decade, while every other rank 25 law-defying wizards must’ve had all the time and experience they needed to withstand the pain that went along this process.

Still, Abel at least could feel that his muscles were becoming more full after he underwent the transformation. From what he could sense, in the very least, his body was boosted to at least twice than before. His defensive capability was also enhanced by a lot. His skin could now resist most attacks and his muscles too. His bones were transformed such that some very hard clanging noise could be heard. It sounded almost like his bones were breaking. The pain wasn’t that severe, however, compared to when he was changing his muscles.

Or so he thought. When the promotion qi entered into his skeleton, he started feeling a sharp pain that was the greatest since he thought when the promotion commenced. He was sweating the entire time. The sharp pain was the result of the seizure that he was undergoing for a while. Given his current power, the sweating wouldn’t just appear out of nowhere. His body would have to go through some immense pain for this to happen.

Once the promotion qi was guided to the skeleton on his face, his power of the Will started pausing suddenly. The transformation here was already influencing his thinking pattern, and his spirit was hit slightly at the same time. If he read about anything inside the records of the Wizard Union legendary wizards, he would’ve known that something like this was bound to happen. Whoever it was, transforming this part could always mean the generation of injuries to some degree.

He was now about to use the treasures that he prepared. Abel knew that this was a necessary depletion to obtain the level of promotion qi he was after. Under the combined efforts of his treasured materials and his promotion qi, his spine was now transformed to become energized. Most wizards would fail during this part of the process. The amount of time taken for a pause would define how injured the spin was. If the damage exceeded to a certain extent, the depletion would just become more than what was expected.

Abel’s case was a bit strange, however. Even if his main soul was influenced, the druid soul would still stay the same. Just then, when his spin took a hit and a promotion was not recovered, a bottle of his “full recovery potion” was used. During this time, his main spirit started waking up to continue on with the transformation.

Following that, the same thing happened to his organs and brain. Every time his organ was transformed, a lot of challenges would arise. Since Abel had enough full recovery potions with him, any injuries he sustained would be healed instantly without wasting any excess promotion qi.

Finally, as there was still a trace of the promotion qi, Abel’s body was completely changed so that his body was finally shifted. He was feeling something. It’s almost like his body was just about to leave the ground. Although he was very much in alignment with his surroundings, at a place that was much further, he could feel a being, an entity that was forcing suppressing onto him so that his body remained.
