Abe the Wizard Chapter 507 - Testing the Waters

Chapter 507 Testing the Waters

Wizard Bunker looked at Wizard Nigel, who was blessed with countless rune cards and defensive spells. Although the six star defensive magic circle was extremely strong for defense, the magic circle had zero attack damage. Only some of the very special magic circles would have its own attack damage.For example, the electricity defensive magic circle came with a powerful lightning attack, but the attacks were not controlled by the magic circle.

These magic circles were not meant to be used to deal damage. Therefore the magic circles were mainly used to strengthen their defense and attacks carried out by using runes.

Wizard Nigel took a deep breath. His whole body was covered by a white flash of light. Then, he disappeared into the six circle defensive magic circle.

‘Intruders discovered, Attack !’ Flora started to take actions after being authorized by Abel.

Wizard Nigel emerged from the spell ‘move in a flash’, and suddenly he felt a huge pressure. His movement was affected by the huge pressure, and his spell casting speed was reduced to the lowest.

He startled in his heart and cast ‘move in a flash,’ which he mastered through endless practice. Then suddenly, an armor-piercing arrow flew out of the void.

At that moment, Wizard Nigel movement was fully suppressed, but his mental power was not. He could clearly perceive the piercing arrow flying towards him and knew that even if he used ‘ move in a flash’, he still wouldn’t be able to dodge the arrow completely.

In that instant, a rune appeared in his hand and was thrown towards the arrow. At the same time, he resisted the huge pressure and dodged, moving his body to the side a little.

It was an ice rune sign that was thrown. Although it had very low attack damage, it was very effective against physical attacks like arrows.

In addition, the effects of rune signs are very hard to miss. This was the reason why the wizard still used it when it has very low attack power.

The piercing arrows were covered in ice in the air, and the speed of the arrow was reduced by the effect of the rune. Then, the arrow flew past Wizard Nigel’s arms after he dodged his body to the side a little.

Although Wizard Nigel had used a variety of methods to avoid the arrow, under the strong suppression of a six star defensive magic circle, he still couldn’t dodge the arrow completely. When the arrows flew over his arm, it also pulled a bloodline on his arm.

Throughout the entire process, his defensive spells and armor were completely useless against the armor piercing arrow. Even the two pa.s.sive defensive magic items he brought had no effect. They were broken right after it activated. One could imagine the power of the armor piercing arrow.

The intense pain Wizard Nigel felt made him instantly use his ‘move in a flash’ magic scroll and disappeared in the six star magic circle map.

“Ouch,” Wizard Nigel screamed while appearing beside Wizard Bunker.

Abel saw Flora had launched an attack in the magic tower. He did not understand why Flora did not carry out a saturation blow, which would definitely stop Wizard Nigel from escaping. However, Abel did not ask too much because he believed that Flora must have its own reason for doing it.

“Wizard Nigel, how was the situation inside the tower?” Wizard Bunker did not care much about Wizard Nigel’s minor injury. He had seen countless bleeding on the battlefield.

“There was a crossbow on the city wall; the whole area was suppressed by a large magic circle. I almost got killed by the crossbow and couldn’t make it back here.” Wizard Nigel took out a healing potion.

“You were scared by a crossbow?” Wizard Bunk hated Wizard Nigel, who was scared and ran away from a crossbow.

“It was not a normal crossbow. It took a lot just to come back alive!” Wizard Nigel was angered by Wizard Bunker, who ignored his injury and mocked him.

“Hurry up and deal with the wound, then we will go in together. This time, you can hide behind me if you are scared of a crossbow.” Wizard Bunker said.

Wizard Nigel’s experience made Wizard Bunker feel confident because he often encountered the six star magic circle map and crossbow on the battlefield, and he had a way to deal with it.

‘Wizard Bunker, what is your solution?’ Wizard Nigel does not want to venture in again if he was not sure about the solution.

Wizard Bunker took out a steel puppet with a height of nearly three meters from the portal bag. This puppet was different form the puppets of Abel. The puppets held a huge s.h.i.+eld in his hand, but it can be seen from the craftsmans.h.i.+p that this is also a work of the Dwarf.

Wizard Nigel saw the inlaid intermediate magic stone and rune sign painted on the entire s.h.i.+eld and knew that it was a magic s.h.i.+eld. He felt at ease even if it was not a magic s.h.i.+eld; judging from the thickness of the s.h.i.+eld, it would definitely block any attack from the enemy.

He treated the wound on his arm by using the ‘healing potion’ and moved his arm for a little to make sure that his movement would not be affected by his injury. Then he blessed himself with all the defensive buffs again.

He used the ‘Energy s.h.i.+eld’ magic scroll on himself this time even when the magic scroll of ‘Energy s.h.i.+eld’ was very scarce. He had no thought of saving it as he flashed back about the power of the crossbow.

“Follow me immediately after entering. Then we focus on destroying the magic tower to break the six star magic circle map.” Wizard Bunker said.

This six star magic circle map could be broken easily from the formation of the magic circle. The magic circle was formed by a foundation of six magic towers. This meant that as long as one of the six magic towers was destroyed, the six star magic circle map would be broken. Then, the rest of the magic towers could be easily dealt with without the suppression from the magic circle.

Wizard Nigel had no problem as long as he was not the one to block the armor piercing arrow. His job was easy by casting spells in the back.

In addition, he believed in the t.i.tles of Wizard Bunker as an Elite Warlock. It signified that Wizard Bunker was more experienced than other elite wizards in the Holy Continent on the battlefield.

“Are you ready?” Wizard Bunker glanced at Wizard Nigel and asked.

“Alright, let’s go!” Wizard Nigel nodded. At the moment, his body was constantly flas.h.i.+ng with all the magic blessings.

Wizard Bunker looked at Wizard Nigel, who was covered by all the flashy magic blessings. He sneered and imagined that Wizard Nigel would definitely be attacked by the enemy on the first sight in the battlefield with all these flashy magic blessings.

“Here we go!” Wizard Bunker rested on the steel puppets holding the s.h.i.+eld and hiding his body behind the puppet to conceal himself completely.

Although he said that he didn’t care, it was still a city crossbow. A crossbow that could pierce through all kinds of defenses and kill you instantly if you weren’t careful enough.

The city crossbow on the Dwarf City was very famous in the entire continent. It was one of the most powerful defensive weapons in the world. Therefore very few city crossbows were supplied to humans, and dwarfs have strict control over the number of crossbows that were sold.

If any city crossbow were used in a city that was not supposed to have it. Then the city would be blacklisted and banned by the dwarfs.

The major thing was there would be no maintenance for the city crossbow. Every weapon had life services, including the city crossbow, some of the parts would need to be replaced after being used for a certain amount of time. The crossbow would also need to be maintained once in a while, and all these tasks can only be performed by dwarfs.

It could be said that discovering a city crossbow in a Lord land had surprised Wizard Bunker. Even if Abel was a Blacksmith Master, he was still a human Blacksmith Master and not a Dwarf Blacksmith Master. Regarding the stubbornness and strict rules of the dwarfs, it should be extremely difficult to obtain a war weapon like a city crossbow.
