Chapter 1224 - Late Rescue
The red portal vanished into a red spark after knight Chase passed through.
Abel turned his gaze towards the fallen legendary knight. He could clearly sense this dead knight was even more powerful than the legendary wizard.
He was a rank 29 knight, just two levels away from being half a god.
Abel waved his hand, and his grey bear landed next to the legendary knight’s dead body.
A beam of pure white legendary light shot out from the dead knight. With a wave, Izual guided the soul hidden within it into Abel’s crystal angel statue.
This legendary light was even more glorious than Abel’s other one, and the incoming legendary wizards were shocked.
Wizard Larkin was on duty, and he was the first one to notice a passage being forcefully opened up with the power of god in the Defence Wall of Doomsday. Three legendary knights had passed through, so he immediately alerted the Wizard Union.
Since the scale of the invasion was extremely serious, the wizard union immediately alerted all the available legendary wizards.
In 10 minutes, legendary Wizards Began to arrive at the defense wall of Doomsday from all over the continent.
Luckily Wizard Dolan, Wizard Loka, as well as Wizard Doran were not on a mission or in retreat.
Besides them, there were also two rank 28 and 1 rank 29 wizards who got the alert and arrived.
The wizard union had to make sure they had enough power to suppress the knights, and Wizard Larkin was a little worried at first.
He knew who the Holy Kingdom was after, Grandmaster Bennett. It would be a huge loss to the Central Continent no matter if Grandmaster Bennett was killed or captured.
“Wizard Larkin, this is the biggest invasion so far. Who is their target?” Wizard Mike, the strongest wizard of the bunch, lowered his voice.
“Their target is Grandmaster Bennett, and their portal had directly opened beside the Golden Castle!” Wizard Larkin replied and searched around with his power of the will.
Everyone’s face suddenly took a grim turn—especially Wizard Dolan, who was closest to Abel.
“Is that the grandmaster alchemist blackmailing the Wizard Union with potions?” Wizard Mike lowered his voice.
All the wizards turned towards Wizard Mike with a strange look on their faces. It seemed like Grandmaster Bennett was no friendly guy after all.
After all, even those two rank 28 wizards were only worried about grandmaster Bennett for his longevity potion.
Since Wizard Mike was the strongest, no one said a word.
It was at that moment. Wizard Larkin found their closest teleportation circle. It was the elves’ royal palace, but that would take a little time to connect.
There was no way the elves would let eight legendary wizards in without an explanation.
After the eight legendary wizards arrived at the elves’ royal palace, they did not say too much. Even Wizard Mike, who was the coldest towards Abel, was worried for his safety
“There is a fight in 10 miles!” Wizard Mike lowered his voice.
“Ok, let’s fully unleash our power to force the knights to retreat!” Wizard Larkin asked humbly.
To be honest, everyone knew it was not easy to kill all three legendary knights, even with the 8 of them.
If they fully unleash their power, at least that would give the knights a little pressure.
Since there was a fight, it meant the knights had not succeeded.
Grandmaster Bennett was still alive.
Since they were certain that Grandmaster Bennett was in the Golden Castle due to recent events, they were already contemplating the worse scenario.
“Let’s just hope Grandmaster Bennett is holding on!” Wizard Dolan added softly.
“This is one of our biggest operations. Grandmaster Bennett shouldn’t blackmail us anymore!” Wizard Mike laughed coldly.
After all, it was extremely rare to have eight legendary wizards on the move at once.
By the time they entered Hardy Valley, they saw a pure white legendary light shoot up, and they were stunned.
It was definitely from a legendary top-level knight.
Not a single one of them had died in the last 1000 years, even in the front line.
Soon, they saw Grandmaster Bennett floating in mid-air with two 30 meters tall king puppets and a flying grey bear with a dead body on its claws.
The energy from a portal still lingered as well as large amounts of energy that broke out during combat.
By that point, Abel no longer felt too good about legendary wizards. He didn’t know if there were any legendary wizards after him in the union.
Meanwhile, the grey bear handed him the dead legendary knight. Although it was badly injured, all of its body parts were still intact, especially since that piercing arrow did not target the physical body as much as one’s life force.
This way, he would be able to have another powerful force on his side after a resurrection.
He put the dead body into his personal storage box and turned to the eight legendary wizards.
“Grandmaster Bennett, you’ve killed a rank 29 knight with this Golden Castle?” Wizard Mike gazed around in disbelief.
He had been to countless battlefields, but the Golden Castle looked brand new. It seemed like the legendary knights didn’t even manage to break their defense.
There were also countless holes on the ground created by blasts of energy coming from the Golden Castle.
Everything was clear. The Golden Castle must have a big secret.
Especially considering the fast level of Grandmaster Bennett, Wizard Mike began to doubt if Grandmaster Bennett had found a wealthy ancient sight.
Greed flashed in his eyes.
But since Abel still had his World Stone ignited, that little signal of greed was noticed.
In an instant, Abel floated back with his grey bear blocking upon the front and the king puppets ready to fight.
“Grandmaster Bennett, what do you mean by this?” Wizard Mike yelled.
Yes, he was planning to make a move on Grandmaster Bennett, but there was no way he would do it in front of so many other legendary wizards.
At the same time, that dead knight was a clear reminder that he couldn’t.
“I’m just trying to protect myself!” Abel lowered his voice.
“Grandmaster, we are here to help you. Is that how you treat your helper?” Wizard Mike lowered his voice.
The five rank 26 wizards who knew Abel were also a little bit confused. Abel didn’t seem friendly.
Since Abel was back in the Star Light protection circle, he was not worried about any sudden attacks.
Although he had killed a legendary knight and fought off two legendary wizards with two legendary knights, he knew very well how weak his human body was.
Getting too close to that clearly top-level wizard Mike did not make him feel safe.
There was no way he could counteract his attacks without the Angel body.
“If the wizard union’s support came a little earlier, you would have seen the biggest joke of this world. 2 legendary wizards teamed up with three legendary knights to attack the Golden Castle!’ Abel lowered his voice.
Wizard Mike immediately felt his heart drop. He scanned around with his power of the will, and there really was the energy of 2 legendary wizards.
“Grandmaster, if you are accusing two legendary wizards from the union, you have to come back with us to make it clear!” Wizard Mike did not tell Abel about his discovery. The other wizards around could not sense those energies, but if he made his discovery public, the wizard union’s reputation would take a big hit. He wanted to bring Abel back to the wizard union and buy some time.
However, Abel did not care. Instead, he turned to the five legendary wizards he knew.
“Everyone, Wizard Jules and Wizard Harrick were the ones who teamed up with the legendary knights. Is the wizard union going to do anything about it?” Abel lowered his voice.
“Grandmaster Bennett, don’t look at them. I am the most powerful one here, so I’ll answer you!” Wizard Mike interrupted and said.
Abel turned to wizard Make again and waited.
“I will investigate this!” Wizard Mike added.
By that point, he realized it was not possible to bring Abel back, but he knew there would be more chances in the future. As for the investigation, he was only to do it half-heartedly.
After all, those two legendary wizards were very powerful even though they were weaker than him.
“If everything is good, we’ll be on our way!” He gazed at the golden castle again and couldn’t help but wonder how much more it had in store.
Abel also did not say much. He might have invited the Wizards into his castle if Wizard Mike’s attitude was better, but by that point, he didn’t even want to get close to him.
A sorry look emerged from Wizard Dolan’s face. Legendary wizards were not stupid. They all knew Wizard Mike had an attitude problem.
