Abe the Wizard

Chapter 1173 - Getting Closer



Chapter 1173: Getting Closer

After teleporting for about a dozen times, Abel found a valley in the jungle. Under the guidance of his power of the Will, he discovered an empty path. Combined with the natural environment nearby, he thought that it served as a pretty good hideout.

Abel took off the invisibility hood that he was wearing and found a circle plate out of his portal bag. This was an intermediate-sized circle plate that cost him a lot. He traded it from the Wizard Union. After he placed two top-level gemstones inside and activated it with his power of the Will, an invisible barrier surrounded the valley and merged completely with the forest nearby. He could no longer see that there was a valley here.

Slowly and carefully, he split half of his conscience and placed it inside the druid spirit. He then allowed the angelic body to be unleashed out of the druid spirit. From someone else’s perspective, it would be like a white light was suddenly flashing out of a human wizard. Following that, a shadow wearing dark golden armor looked like it was separated from that same body. Abel wasn’t sure if he was generating a doppelganger or something.

Actually, not even a divine spirit would be able to explain what was going on with him. His druid spirit was something that he created himself when he came to this world. He originally removed a part of the human spirit and replaced it with a fragment he picked up. As he became stronger, so did this spirit that became a druid spirit and as a result, two powerful spirits resided in his body. It really had to do with the fact that his main spirit was reincarnated here from another world. Without this, he would’ve never noticed the possibility of replicating a spirit.

This was the first time an angelic body appeared in this world. Half of his conscience was just starting to notice how much the world welcomed him. The air here was praising him. Yes, the air. It was almost like he was the ruler of this place. It was just like the demon from beyond when it founded the Nation of God. After using the guardian wings, the land was secured and built into a nation.

It was the same for Abel now. He realized that his angel body had no legs. It was just floating on the ground. He was starting to understand immediately. His body was exactly the same as a legendary figure—both were in energized form. His body was even purer in that regard, actually. He was starting to possess the ability to fly. This didn’t have to do with the fact that the angelic body was just floating. It really had to do with the wings behind his back. The wings would absorb the energy in the air to replenish themselves, meanwhile also possessing the ability to fly.

Abel looked around. He could see that the seclusion circle was extending out in several hundred meters. He still had the ability to fly. He tried to not use his wings. Instead, he was flying towards the side under the guidance of his power of the Will. He tried to feel the speed of it. Given his understanding, his speed was pretty much the same as a legendary figure.

Abel tried to add the flight ability of his wings. Almost immediately, he could feel a terrifying pushing force pressing on his wings and spreading to his entire body. He was going out like a beam of light. He would’ve rushed out of the seclusion circle if he could. Very quickly, his body stopped automatically at one spot of the seclusion circle barrier. He wouldn’t know how far he would’ve been pushed to if he didn’t stop right there. He was flying even faster than Flying Flame, and Flying Flame could only reach maximum speed if it was using the hell “special speed enhancing technique.”

It would’ve explained how the angels could fight the underworld for so many years, however. This was even faster than the “special quickening” ability of the hell creatures. Abel was feeling like a divine spirit. Of course, although he did absorb world stone fragments from three continents, he was not going to consider him as an actual divine spirit. He did feel very powerful with his angelic body, but he knew that it was all fake. All that was enhanced was his ability to move rapidly in the air. As for his attacking ability, all he managed so far was the ability to fight in close range.

Abel took twenty “instantaneous movement’ spell scrolls out of his portal bag. He was starting to regret not making more purchases on the continent. Given his identity as Grandmaster Bennett, he might just be able to buy several hundred of them if he wanted to. The angelic body did not possess the ability to “teleport,” so naturally, he would have to rely on these twenty scrolls for now as his last resort.

Again, he took off the invisibility cloak that he was wearing with his human body. He immediately threw the scrolls to the angelic body. Once the body took it over, all the scrolls were taken into the portal bag. He then wore the cloak on his body. His human body continued to take out 200 bottles of the “full recovery vitality potions.” After giving it a thought, he passed a portal beast bag towards the angelic body.

Abel called out Flying Flame next. Since it was so reluctant to head back to the tiny portal beast bag, Abel promised to give a lot of gifts to it. Actually, Flying Flame was pretty much like his other trump card. It wasn’t quite powerful on its own, but as a dragon that could fly in the sky, if something major was to happen, he could just let it take him and fly away for an escape.

If Abel could use Flying Flame, that would all be because the angelic body was already severely injured and he got nothing else to do. In any case, he wouldn’t want to be in danger. He wouldn’t want to take any risks, actually, if he never had to face massive trouble that was going to be born within 100 years.

Originally, after possessing the body of a human, Abel’s goal had been to improve his strength as a wizard. He did a very good job so far at that. In just 7 to 8 years, he went from a rookie to a rank 22 law-defying wizard. He might just keep promoting if he didn’t have the angelic body. Now that he got the angelic body, he would have two choices, no, two directions that he could progress. The first direction would be to go further with his human form under the help of the wisdom fruits, the light stones, and the dark-quality training potions. The other would be to become an angel. He wasn’t sure what the advantage of that was, but he knew that he would get it after he got the angelic body.

In essence, possessing an angelic body would mean that he wouldn’t have to continue with his training. That was just how angels were. Their “baseline” was pretty much legendary figures. He could start his progress from the legendary rank. As convenient as that was, it would also be a lot more difficult to see progress from there. If the demon from beyond hadn’t woken up within the last 100 years, he would just grow and not continue on with his ventures. Whichever path he was to choose, he would already become the strongest being in this world.

Abel’s human body was just staring at his angelic body. He felt weird looking at himself like this. He did have a lot of experiences already inside the dark world, but the feeling remained. As a matter of fact, his conscience was still in a relatively unstable state. He was just feeling his rank 22 wizard rune with his human conscience, but his angelic body was sensing the rune of a legendary rank figure. He was not in the dark world to notice this. If he was, he would feel a balance because the dark world would suppress his stronger side.

He then noticed something. If he wanted perfect control over his angelic body, it’d be much better if he was putting his conscience into it. After doing some testing, he realized that there wouldn’t be much of a discrepancy if he was still in the same world. Also, his sharp senses would make it possible for him to cross any sort of boundaries. He didn’t go to test what the effect of traveling into a different world would be. He gave up on the idea as soon as he noticed the time difference between the dark world and this world.

For the maximum safety of the angelic body, he decided to put all his conscience into his druid spirit and temporarily gave up control over his human body. As soon as his human body fell, his angelic body became a light beam that was flashed beside him. It picked the body up and took Johnson out of the portal beast ring. Johnson was coming out to see that a human and angel were just there. It could sense its master’s presence very quickly.

The angelic body spoke like usual, “Protect my body, Johnson.”

Johnson bowed to show that it understood what its master meant. Following that, its body started changing form. The multi-surfaced dimensional steel sphere on its body started spinning. A dimension was created, and it carefully placed its master’s body back in. Following that, the multi-surfaced steel spheres moved again and returned its body to full form. Following that, the ground and rocks beneath its legs started separating. Its body started shrinking towards the ground.

As the stone giant, Johnson had a way to protect itself by merging it with the mountain. Because it was relying on this ability, Johnson was able to retain this form in this world. It was hiding Abel’s human body inside. After doing a scan with his angelic body, Abel became relieved to notice that he couldn’t feel that his human body was hidden inside Johnson.

Abel began to take a flight. He started flying while wearing his invisibility hoodie. The mystic headband was doubling the strength of his power of the Will. There was not much of a difference between his angelic body and the destination. It was just one kilometer. Combined with the buff of the mystic headband, there were only 2000 meters of distance. It all had to do with the fact that his angelic body had just commenced training. He was really starting to understand how sturdy this body was. The maximum reach of his human body was 1500 meters, and that was only because he had been training his wizard class, alchemy class, and many other classes to get there. He also had to be very lucky in a lot of situations to make that kind of progress. The more he believed his body would get stronger, the further he noticed that the power of the Will would only go further.

As he took on his hoodie, Abel’s angelic body disappeared in midair. Once he left the intermediate-sized seclusion circle, he immediately felt more akin to the world that he was in. He could feel that his entire being was merging with this world that he was in. He couldn’t increase his attacking power here, but he did receive a lot of advantages because of it. For instance, he could put himself under disguise as well as when he was switching his transformation necklace on.

Abel started flying in the air in a very relaxed manner. He was also moving the wings behind him to make him go faster. No, he didn’t have a complete map of the Nation of God, but once he passed through the worship passageway of his follower, he began to learn more about the Nation of God. He was also starting to get a better idea of where the Central Temple was situated. After flying for an entire hour, his extraordinary speed got him to see a grand temple that was in front of him.

Abel passed through the shadow of the crystal angelic statue and connected to that one particular follower. The Saint didn’t think it would take too long to visit all ten of them. Abel looked towards the temple and completely withdrew his power of the Will. He noticed how dangerous the temple was. There had to be someone powerful residing inside. He might just surpass legendary figures, even.

Yes, it was quite strange. The powerful figure inside was making Abel worried, but the temple itself was making him very comfortable. Slowly and steadily, he lowered his body. He didn’t want to be detected. Regular figures wouldn’t notice, but any powerful figures would just tell immediately.

Slowly. Slowly. Slowly. Abel got closer towards the temple. He was starting to notice that this was his home. He knew that it probably had to do with this crystal angelic statue. His body was now under the control of the druid spirit, so naturally, there wouldn’t be a concern that his body would just lose control.

As soon as Abel got close to the temple, he could feel a defensive barrier that was extremely firm. It was constructed with divine power, and all creatures without its acknowledgment were forbidden to get in. The angelic body was an exception.
