Abe the Wizard

Chapter 652 - Damage to the Team



Chapter 652 Damage to the Team

The Nam Mountain event took place once every ten years. Mid-October of this year was when the next event would take place. Meanwhile, Abel had twenty more days before he could finish his orc battlefield hunting quest.

Right now, it was the middle of September. There would be a month left before Head Commander Donald’s team went to the Beast God Utopia. Abel wasn’t really planning on going, actually. He was never able to trust Head Commander Donald enough to follow his team.

Truth be told, he was planning on killing Head Commander Donald the moment he left Miracle City. The man did threaten him before, so he wouldn’t hesitate to end him if there was the chance to. He was planning on waiting, though. There were still a few things that this man could do for him before he died.

After packing up his things, Abel reached for the “Akara’s rune pen” to start his rune-drawing job. It was pretty peaceful lately. Apart from those very few times, he was rarely bothered by any orcs. It didn’t take him much time to finish all his one month’s worth of runes, and once he was done, he still had the time to read the books he found in the dark world.

During the ten days that Abel was doing his regular maintenance, nobody really tried to look for him. There was probably no prior meeting before the team went to the Beast God Utopia. Nothing strange seemed to go on when Head Commander Edi was talking to him. It seemed that no one knew what happened to Wizard Amos.

Nothing really happened. It went on like this even for the next few days. It was getting so relaxing that Abel thought that the orcs were on vacation. He would get a few calls from K3305, K3308, and Head Commander Bodley from time to time, but that was really it. Most of the time, he just carried on with his daily routine.

Soon, it was the second last day before the orc battlefield hunting quest finished. Once they were back, the mission would come to its end.

While reading a book on his armchair, Abel noticed that Head Commander Markham was calling him through the military tag.

“Are you available now, Wizard K3516?” Head Commander Markham asked anxiously.

“What’s wrong, Markham?”

It was a bit strange. Head Commander Markham was usually very quiet. His only mission was to protect K3308, so it’d be very hard to see him acting or speaking without K3308’s presence.

Head Commander Markham was getting more anxious, “Wizard K3516, please! Offer me any price you want. Let me buy a blue-quality healing potion from you!”

“Someone got injured?”

“Yes!” Head Commander Markham replied, “K3308 has been injured severely! I don’t think he can take it any longer.”

“Send me a location. I’ll be there immediately.”

Without packing up his armchair, Abel jumped on the mount wolf king and went to where the location was marked. He was a bit too late, though. When he was about a few miles away, he saw four streaks of combat qi rising in the air.

Two were grey, and two were red. This wasn’t good. Two knight’s head commanders were dead.

Abel tried to get to the team as quickly as he could. Almost everyone was injured at this point. Head Commander Bodley was still standing, and that made him quite relieved.

Head Commander Markham was on his knees, “I beg you, Sir Wizard K3516, please! Do what you can to save K3308!”

Abel immediately went to get Markham off the ground, “Don’t be like this to me, Markham. K3308 is a good friend of mine. You don’t have to bow down like this to get me to save him.”

Head Commander Markham pointed over the distance, “That’s him right there…”

K3308 had an entire spear through his abdomen. Without some sort of miracle medicine, it would be almost impossible to keep him alive. Markham tried his own blue quality potions, but they didn’t do anything to ease the injury. Abel was the only one he could look for.

After pouring a “healing potion” into K3308’s mouth, Abel held onto the spear that went through him and pulled it straight out of his body. Due to the Horadric Cube’s incredible power to enhance the healing potion’s effect, the wound was immediately sealed when the spear was pulled out. No extra harm was done from what Abel did.

With a scan of his power of the Will, Abel could tell that K3308’s internal organs had sustained a lot of damage. The healing potion wasn’t perfect, it seemed. It was more for preventing the wound from getting worse rather than for fully recovering someone back to health.

Head Commander Markham saw the frown on Abel’s face, “Is… he alright? Give it to me straight, I beg you!”

Abel turned to Head Commander Markham. Then, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

“He’s fine. I’m just calculating how much that he owes me for this.”

After saying that, Abel took out a red potion from his portal bag. As ordinary, as it seemed, it was something that he referred to as the “light healing potion.” Since he didn’t want to use the full recovery potion, this was what he had gone for to save K3308.

When the light healing potion was poured into K3308’s mouth, all of his wounds were healing up by the seconds. It was that easy. The whole thing took less than ten seconds.

Abel said after he scanned with his power of the Will, “We’re done. Let’s have K3308 with me for the next two days. If we go back to Miracle City now, all our efforts these few days would’ve been for nothing.”

Head Commander Markham had K3308 in his arms. He was checking on his wounds, but they were suddenly all gone. K3308 was still unconscious. It was best if they waited for him to wake up on his own.

Tears started streaming down Head Commander Markham’s cheeks, “How long before he wakes up, Master K3516?”

Abel said with a smile, “Won’t be long. You should let him rest, though. He’s still in a pretty frail state.”

The light healing potion could heal about 60 health points. Right now, all of the major wounds that K3308 were repaired. With a bit more rest and replenishment, he would be a lot better than before.

Soon, K3308 started moaning and opened his eyes.

Head Commander Markham couldn’t believe it, “Master…. No, K3308, you’re awake!”

K3308 was back to his normal, talkative personality, “Aghhhh! Gee that hurts so much! Why did that worgen decide to stab me three times? It would’ve been fine if he only went for two! Oh, K3516’s here. Hello there! You know, if it wasn’t for your passive defensive magic item, I would’ve had more holes in my body right now…”

“Just….” Abel shook his head, “Just keep quiet for a bit, K3308. You need a lot of rest right now.”

“Hey Markham,” K3308 turned to Head Commander Markham, “If I remembered it right, you took a hit for me, didn’t you?”

That’s when Abel realized something. There was a giant bandage around Head Commander Markham’s waist. He couldn’t see what’s underneath, but the wound must’ve been very deep.
