“Be careful, Sixth,” Wizard bunker said to Wizard Jallel.
If Wizard Cyril insisted on fighting one of them, that person had to be Wizard Jallel. Wizard Bunker was the man in charge, and it wasn’t like he trusted Wizard Nigel to do his own thing.
After the order was sent, Wizard Bunker and Wizard Nigel quickly teleported past Wizard Cyril. They didn’t have time to gang up on him together. The most important thing for them was to capture Abel as fast as they could.
Soon, they were right outside the hexagonal circle. Wizard Bunker understood as soon as he saw it. If he wanted to break through this defense barrier, he needed enough attack to bring down all six magic towers there were inside.
Meanwhile, Abel was bringing the hanging fort to the ground. By lowering his sixteen-floor tower, everything was pretty much protected from any outside offense.
Wizard Bunker wasn’t giving up without giving it a try, “Let’s do this together, Nigel. We’ll unleash our spells together and try to break this barrier.”
“Yeah, sure, sure,” Wizard Nigel nodded.
“Blizzard!” Wizard Bunker shouted as he drew a spell rune with a magic staff in his right hand. In a few seconds, the sky above them was covered in dark clouds. Snowflakes started pouring down. When they touched the light that was emitted by the hexagonal circle, a massive explosion occurred.
After Wizard Bunker did his thing, Wizard Nigel also took out his own magic staff.
“Meteorite!”
As he pointed towards the light that was emitted from the hexagonal circle, Wizard Nigel drew a red mark that kept flashing rapidly. A few seconds later, a giant rock fell from the sky and crashed right onto it.
Wizard Morton was watching this right inside his new tower. He was getting worried that the hexagonal circle couldn’t take it. As far as he remembered, there was only one perfect gemstone in his tower’s energy storage box.
“Wait, shouldn’t there be a decrease in the energy level?” Wizard Morton squinted his eyes. Strangely, when he checked his tower’s status, he realized that the two rank seventeen wizards weren’t doing much damage at all.
He then looked towards the center of the hexagonal circle. As it turned out, Abel was using his own tower to neglect all the damage.
Right now, Abel was smiling as he watched the two advanced wizards keep on wasting their mana. They thought that they could break through his defense if they worked hard enough, but that was not the case at all. There were about one hundred energy slots in his magic tower, and they were all placed with perfect stones. They could drain all the energy out if they kept attacking for at least ten days, but what kind of wizards would have the mana supply to do that?
“Stop! Stop!”
After launching about fifty or so spell attacks, Wizard Bunker called to stop. He screamed in frustration as he realized that the attacks weren’t doing anything.
Wizard Nigel complied. He put away his magic staff and waited for his next order. He didn’t say it out explicitly, but he was already giving up on capturing Abel.
Wizard Bunker glared at Wizard Nigel, “Wizard Nigel, I want you to drag Abel out of his tower.”
Wizard Bunker was basically telling Wizard Nigel to commit suicide. If Wizard Nigel did dare to use his “instantaneous movement” spell to move into the defensive circle, he would be under the full assault of the security measures that Abel had set. Obviously, he wouldn’t know what Abel had prepared against him, so it was always better to break through the defensive barrier first.
Wizard Nigel was angry to have given such an unreasonable order, “Are you serious? Do you know what you are saying?”
Wizard Bunker replied with an uncaring smirk, “Yes, Wizard Nigel. I’m asking you to go inside the magic tower. You know, if we can’t break through this defensive circle, Sixth and I can just leave. If we do that, you’ll be all alone in the Holy Continent. And just what can you do if that happens?”
“Wizard Bunker!” Wizard Nigel yelled, but the words couldn’t come out of his mouth. Wizard Bunker did have a point. They had the freedom to pretend that they were involved in any of this, but he was the guardian wizard of Liante City. The number of burdens between them was simply too different.
Wizard Bunker decided to not push Wizard Nigel too hard, “How about this? I’ll give you an “energy shield” scroll for protection. Here, it’d be much safer with this on.”
That was pretty generous. “Energy shield” was a powerful defensive spell that only lightning wizards could learn. Since they weren’t many wizards that studied the element of lightning, it was a technique that most people didn’t even know about.
Now that the scroll was already in Wizard Nigel’s hands, he realized that he had no choice. Since that was the case, he started making predictions of the kind of attacks he would have to face.
Six magic towers. According to the information they had, the occupied ones were the Morton Magic Tower (12 floors), the Yveline Magic Tower (7 floors), Murphy Magic Tower (7 floors), and the Abel Magic Tower (6 floors). Given this information, there was no reason to not believe that he couldn’t take on all of them.
“I’ll go, fine,” Wizard Nigel said. Before he went, he activated a “shattering ice armor” on himself. As a specialist in fire spells, this was about the best that he could do with an ice element defensive spell.
Then, after the “shattering ice armor” had fully formed, Wizard Nigel took out a rune card and activated another defensive spell on himself. After that, he used a rune card that could buff his defensive capabilities against long-range attacks. He used more runes to increase his poison resistance, his fire resistance, his lightning resistance, and his ice resistance.
Now, then. With all the lights that were flashing on his rune cards, Wizard Nigel started hesitating. He knew how precious the “energy shield” magic scroll was, and since there were so many defensive mechanisms on himself already, he decided to put away the gift that Wizard Bunker gave him.
