Chapter 650: 650

Even if they were in the same rank, human wizards could still differ a lot in their overall fighting abilities . Abel was a perfect example of that statement . That being said, despite all his experience, he had never seen a veteran wizard, such as Wizard Amos .

Just as he was locking onto Wizard Amos for an attack, the man was already teleporting elsewhere . There were about twenty metres of distance between them . Abel could see him disappearing, but there wasn’t enough time for his body to make the right reaction .

As soon as Wizard Amos reappeared, a fireball was shot out his hand . It seemed that the man was thinking so many moves ahead . Abel was still trying to process what he did, but he was already finished with preparing another spell .

Wizard Amos was a multitasker . When he was unleashing a spell, he would always have another one that he was putting on hold . It was the first time that Abel saw someone fight like this .

By moving very slightly with his foot, Abel managed to dodge the fireball that was flying towards him . Still, just when he thought that he got rid of it, it took a U-turn and went towards his back .

To counter this surprise attack, Abel activated his lightning “telekinesis” spell to drag his body away from the fireball . He got out of its reach, and as soon as he did, he tried to grab it with the light that was released from his telekinesis spell .

BOOM

Abel basically detonated the fireball with his telekinesis spell . The explosion was pretty big . So big, in fact, it engulfed the nearby area in flame . That being said, he was a very safe distance away from it .

The two were ready to cast their next spells . For Abel, it was telekinesis . For Wizard Amos, he was teleporting while throwing another fireball .

This time, without giving it the chance to even get close to him, Abel detonated the fireball with his own spell . Wizard Amos was very concerned to see this . He didn’t think that anyone would have the precision to do something like this . It was like trying to deflect a flying bullet by shooting arrows at it .

After recognizing Abel as a worthy opponent, Wizard Amos decided to go with his strongest fighting style . He prepared his attack spells in advance, and every time he moved somewhere with his “instantaneous movement” spell, he would throw a new fireball towards his target .

Unlike before, he wasn’t planning to stop moving, which made it even harder to find the right timing to make a counter-attack . It was a surefire way to prevent the target from doing anything back . Either Abel would die instantly from it . Or, he would be forced to escape from a lack of mana .

Obviously, Abel wasn’t very happy with this . This was the first time he had ever fought so uncomfortably . He would defend against a fireball, and just when he was about to do something, Wizard Amos would completely ruin his aim by going elsewhere . He really wished that Black Wind was with him . Riding it might not be enough to win the fight, but it would at least make the fight a little fairer .

Abel wasn’t too threatened, though . Wizard Amos was fast, but his attacks weren’t that deadly . It was even possible to block the fireballs with just his “vow of the ancient” shield . Still, he wasn’t planning on doing that . Since he wasn’t planning on letting Amos live, he would rather not do anything that would make him want to escape .

Wizard Amos had shot about six fireballs in total . They were all detonated before they got close to Abel, and it was starting to make him want to leave . He decided to throw one more at Abel before doing so, and when he did, Abel got himself into a counterattack stance .

This time, Abel detonated the fireball by casting the telekinesis with his left hand . He then threw an “ice blizzard” back . Of course, that wasn’t going to do much to Wizard Amos .

But what if there were more? After throwing that first one, Abel went on an insane streak to throw about six more of the same “ice blizzard’ spell . All of them were thrown in different directions . Some went straight towards Wizard Amos, while others flew in more tricky angles . For the tricky ones, he would re-direct them towards Wizard Amos with his power of the Will .

Abel wasn’t stopping . He didn’t stop activating the “ice blizzard” spell, and he didn’t stop throwing them at Wizard Amos . He was repeating the same moves like an absolute madman, but his head stayed calm and calculating the whole time . He was trying to figure out where Wizard Amos would teleport to . That way, he could find a way to gain the initiative .

Wizard Amos knew that he had to do something . He wanted to force Abel to leave by making a strong move, but that seemed a little too risky . Also, his pride just wouldn’t allow him to end this with a draw . Abel was getting better at finding his weaknesses, and he was not going to accept that fact .

Eventually, Wizard Amos teleported to a spot that had the least number of ice balls . He thought that it was safe to be there . Little did he know that it was exactly where Abel wanted him to be . When his feet landed on the ground there, a “claystone guard” appeared right underneath him .

The claystone guard immediately got both of Wizard Amos’s feet . It wasn’t very strong at all, however, so even Wizard Amos’s “shattered ice armor’s” automatic attack was enough to eliminate it .

Abel didn’t care that much . As far he was concerned, he just wanted the claystone guard’s slowing effect to work . He was a fast man . All he needed was to have Wizard Amos make a very slight delay .

And a slight delay he got . After activating his spell rune, Abel readied himself to unleash a charge at Wizard Amos . Amos was just getting out of the claystone guard’s trap, but Abel was already appearing in front of him .

With the white light that was coming out of the “vow of the ancients” shield, he broke through all the defensive spells that Wizard Amos was casting . It would be very easy to end this from here on .

Abel decided to go with a simple move . “Shield attack . ” If it was done by a head knight’s commander, the fainting effect would last for about two seconds . Frankly, there weren’t a lot of head knight’s commanders that used it, which kind of made it better because it would be harder to watch out for it .

What happened after Wizard Amos got hit? Well, it was pretty easy to figure out at this point .
