Chapter 1424: Surprise!

The reason why the negotiations went so well was because the Wizard Union had held back on their arrogance and recognized the status of the four gods.

What had happened still cost the Wizard Union dearly. They would much rather have had Abel demand resources. Once they announced to the public that the four gods who Abel had stolen from the Wizard Union Headquarters were now recognized, other forces would think the Wizard Union was bowing their heads to him!

Still, the four men in the hall lifted up their crystal glasses to celebrate that the negotiations had finally come to an end.

Abel saw that there was no more need for him to stay, so he informed them, “Everyone, I’ll go visit the dwarves right now!”

“Headmaster Abel, please!” Wizard Smith stood up with a smile. He bowed and guided Abel to the door, a sign of great respect.

Since the negotiations were successful and their tension had settled, Headmaster Eugene did not stop him from approaching Abel.

Abel smiled sincerely and also bowed back before turning to fly away.

At that moment, Wizard Hawthorn suddenly stood up, and a little ball appeared on his hand behind his back. It was his inner world!

Abel quickly felt his heart drop. His intuition told him he would soon be in danger, even as he started to ignite a flash.

“You dare?!” Headmaster Eugene roared.

Abel’s Flash failed, and he realized he had been transferred to a strange world of mountains and water.

“An inner world!” Abel immediately knew where he was at.

At the same time, he sensed the pressure pressing down on him and could only reach his territory out by ten centimeters at most.

All of his spells failed. Although there were ice and fire elements around, he couldn’t control them at all. Even his Rank 32 Wizard Pattern was frozen.

Abel was now in an extremely dangerous situation!

——–

Meanwhile in the outside world…

Wizard Hawthorn was standing where Abel was standing with a glowing ball in his hand.

“It’s best that you don’t do anything, else I will kill Headmaster Abel right here!” Wizard Hawthorn yelled as he saw Doff’s avatar, First God Rank, and Headmaster Eugene bring their power up.

What he did was directly Flash on top of Abel and engulf him with his inner world.

No one was expecting him to do this, especially as a God Rank!

Attacking after a successful negotiation was something wrong, no matter how you looked at it.

Since both the First God Rank and Doff’s avatar were quite smart, they knew Wizard Hawthorn was not joking, so they paused.

Headmaster Eugene was looking extremely angry as he demanded grimly, “Wizard Hawthorn, let Headmaster Abel go!”

He was the middleman in this negotiation, and Abel had put full trust in him by only bringing two God Rank summons along. Abel’s safety was his responsibility!

“Wizard Hawthorn, why are you doing this?” Wizard Smith was also stunned. What Wizard Hawthorn had done was totally on his own initiative.

“Did I do something wrong?” Wizard Hawthorn laughed. He then continued “Everything we said is rubbish. If we just capture Abel, the dwarves and all his God Rank summons will listen to us!”

Wizard Smith was stunned once again. “Just what do you think the Wizard Union is?” he demanded.

If the Wizard Union broke their promises after a negotiation, no one would trust them anymore!

Especially the dragons! A God Rank war would directly break out!

“Smith, you think too much. Just look at me, all I needed to do was capture Abel. What can you do about it?” Wizard Hawthorn laughed.

Headmaster Eugene calmed himself down as he spoke in a dire voice, “Hawthorn, the dragons won’t forgive you for this!” He turned and gazed at Wizard Smith. “Smith, from now on the dragons will no longer work with the Wizard Union. Because of Hawthorn’s actions, all our agreements in the past will be scrapped, and I will now declare a war on behalf of the dragons!”

He did not yell, but he sounded more steely certain than ever.

Wizard Smith felt his heart chill. He had mentioned that the Saint Castle would soon be famous and he was right. But it would not be for peace, but because it would soon be the place where a continental war had broken out!

He wanted to convince Wizard Hawthorn to give up, but he knew it was impossible by looking at Wizard Hawthorn’s crazed expression.

Headmaster Eugene, Doff’s avatar, and the First God Rank surrounded Wizard Hawthorn, but no one dared do anything.

“Headmaster Eugene, I will kill Abel as soon as the dragons make a move!” Wizard Hawthorn laughed with a provocative tone.

Headmaster Eugene gazed at him, but he did not reply.

———-

Meanwhile, Abel has indeed been trapped by Wizard Hawthorn’s world, but he actually kept his connection with his God Rank summons.

Soon, the Moon Goddess received a request from Doff’s true body to be transferred through to the elven lands.

The Moon Goddess had no idea what was happening, but she realized Abel must be in trouble, so she did not hesitate.

The power of Doff’s true body was not something she could stop, anyway!

But the Moon Goddess was still stunned by how many God Ranks made their moves.

Doff’s true body, the second through fourth God Ranks, the Mountain God, the Goddess of the Hunt, the Ice God, and the God of Black Fog all immediately teleported to the Temple of the Moon Goddess temple as soon as the Moon Goddess permitted it.

Without even greeting the elves, Doff encapsulated the other God Ranks with his Power of the Will and began his teleportation.

Very quickly, he arrived at the Saint Castle.

It was ten thousand meters away, but his teleportation ability was permitted by nature, without needing any Magic Patterns.

Those eight God Ranks moved so fast that even the Moon Goddess could not track them down.

——–

Meanwhile Wizard Hawthorn was looking very proud of himself. Even the vastly more powerful Headmaster Eugene could not do anything to him!

Suddenly, Doff’s avatar performed a Barbarian Battlecry. Wizard Hawthorn quickly added a layer of Ice Armor to himself. At the same time, an ice wall appeared around him from his world.

The Ice Armor was a magic item he always had on him. It was the best of the best when it came to lifesaving, which was how it had appeared so fast.

As for the ice wall, it was a favorite defense for many God Ranked Wizards.

It was not the most powerful barrier, but it could be stored in one’s inner world all the time, and it could block almost anything for at least a second.

However, it was not Doff’s intention to knock Wizard Hawthorn out with his Battlecry, but to distract him for a second.

Wizard Hawthorn did it think too much about it at first, since he still had Abel in his hand, but soon he was shocked. By the time he recovered his senses, he realized he was fully bound by a golden holy barrier with eight God Ranks around him!

It has only been a moment, and Abel had gathered eight God Ranks?

Since Headmaster Eugene and Wizard Smith were fixated on what was happening, they had also not seen so many God Ranks coming. Their teleportation was done by Doff’s true body, which coordinated perfectly with Doff’s avatar.

He had prepared four holy crystals in his hand, and threw them out as soon as he reached Wizard Hawthorn.

All of a sudden, thirteen God Ranks had gathered in the tiny Saint Castle, with eleven God Ranks surrounding Wizard Hawthorn!

Wizard Smith was immediately caught in an awkward situation. He wanted to assist Wizard Hawthorn, but he couldn’t now.

With so many God Ranks around, he didn’t have the guts to move even a single bit of energy. They were just like volcanoes, ready to explode at any moment

But unlike Wizard Smith, Wizard Hawthorn kept calm. Instead, he was even more proud of himself, since Abel was still in his hand!

Even if it was another God Rank, once trapped in his world, he would be able to kill him in an instant.

A God Rank inner world might look like an actual world, but it was fully created by his own energy, and all the laws around it were fully under its owner’s control.

He could activate thousands of powerful spells inside it at once, or he could even directly smash Abel flat with the mountains in his world.

But he was not planning to do that just yet. He wanted to capture Abel and learn his secrets!

Indeed, Abel was just too mysterious. Everyone in this world wanted to know how Abel took control of so many gods, and Wizard Hawthorn was no exception. Also, the formulas for those Super Potions were extremely valuable!

Just thinking about it made him happy, and a fearless smile emerged from his face under the holy light.

He felt like what he had done was the best decision he had ever made. Even with eleven God Ranks around him, there was nothing they could do!

All he needed was to drag Abel out of his world again and command those God Ranks to let him go!

“Haha!” He couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
