Chapter 1122 - Eye of the Demon

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Wizard Dolan didn’t think Abel would be so careless, “Watch out, Master Bennett!”

Abel could sense the danger as well. So he withdrew his power of Will before it was too late.

Wizard Dolan introduced again, “This is known as the demon’s eye. It has the ability to tear apartpower of Wills, so don’t extend yours if you’re not ready.”

At this time, a fish of about one meter in length swam to the side of the swirl. It got closer and closer to the swirl. When it was about five meters away, it suddenly stopped moving. It was sucked into the swirl without any resistance.

Wizard Dolan explained again, “As long as any regular creatures get close to it, that energy will crush the soul entirely. For class holders like us, we can keep ourselves safe by not extending our power of the Will.”

Abel couldn’t help but ask, “Is our target this time the demon’s eye?”

Wizard Dolan gave a positive response, “Youe guessed it right, Master Bennett. That’s our target, the entrance of the ancient ruin.”

While Abel wasn’t sure what the danger was, he knew that it was quite threatening. In fact, if he didn’t have three legendary wizards accompanying him, he would’ve gotten anywhere near it.

Abel said to Wizard Dolan, “I’ll call my summoned creatures out. Bring it with you as you go. It’ll buff us.”

Wizard Dolan smiled in response, “Sure! Just call them out.”

Abel took out Doff.

Wizard Dolan found it hard to be so relaxed. He wasn’t sure he could carry its bodyweight and the ancient totem to fly. Actually, he probably could, but it was not going to be an easy job at all.

Wizard Dolan started to realize how troublesome this was going to be, “Hurry up and help, Golan! Stall this big guy!”

Wizard Golan flew beside Doff and his power of the WIll around it. He kept Doff floating in the air.

“Dolan, it’s here!’

Doff first let out a scream that activated the barbarian spell “scream.” Under the energy lightwave, the four people that were in the scene reinforced their defense. After that, it produced another scream and activated the spell “combat system.” Under a golden light, the life force, mana capacity, and stamina of the four were instantly increased. After seeing that Doff was casting the spell, it quickly put it back to the portal beast ring.

Wizard Dolan opened his eyes wide open, “This big guy can cast barbarian buff spells?”

He couldn’t believe it. It was a Beamon giant beast casting a barbarian spell. Still, he could think back to the “totem pole” that the barbarians lost. He thought about the connection that they had with the Moon Goddess. As long as it was connected with the divine spirit, anything was possible at a price.

Wizard Golan spoke admiringly, “That’s a good summoned creature there. Maybe I should capture one from the orcs as well.”

Wizard Dorann interrupted him, “You know that the Beamon giant beast’s can’t be contracted creatures.”

Wizard Golan raised his voice suddenly, “So why can Master Bennett have one?”

He quickly lowered his voice. Master Bennett was someone that could even sign a treaty of equality with the tree of life. What else couldn’t he do?

Abel just smiled without responding to anything. Doff was special, and even if he had another Beamon giant beast, there was no way that he could make a newer version of it. How else was he supposed to find a new race to convert to his followers? Where else would he find a second ancient totem?

Wizard Dolan spoke quietly, “Let us go in now!”

He had the “freezing armor” and the “energy shield, two defensive spells on. He could see that there was still quite a bit of danger with this sea swirl. The other two legendary wizards also had defensive spells on. They got closer to Wizard Dolan and had Abel near the center.

Abel had the “storm armor” on. At the same time, he had the “spirit” shield and “spirit” sword in his hands. His trait attribute was more powerful because of it. Given his current condition, he had to use all his defensive capabilities apart from his wizard defensive spells. Yes, he could still have his sword and shield on without shocking the three legendary wizards. There were plenty of melee druids out there.

Under the three-sided protection of the legendary wizards, Abel was brought to the eye of the demon. As carefully as he could, he tried to hide behind the “spirit shield. He couldn’t let his guard down, however, as there was danger at all ends. His senses were very alert as he got closer and closer to the eye of the demon.

Very quickly, he activated the ability of the world stone fragment. At the very least, when he was facing the danger, he could still use the ability that the world stone fragment was providing to hold on for a bit longer.

The three legendary wizards were already within the eye of the demon. They were flying in without a second thought. Abel could feel his vision going blank. He was too afraid to do a power of Will scan, too. He didn’t have his vision with a scan. Still, this loss of senses was only temporary. Wizard Dolan produced a small “firebolt” and shot it above their heads.

Wizard Dolan explained, “Light can’t go in from the outside, Master Bennett.”

As he spoke, the wind was scraping up from the different sides. He didn’t expect there to be wind within this 30-meter diameter pillar. Yet, amidst this wind, he could hear cutting noises continuously on the defensive barriers. Abel looked over, and he could see countless wind blades amidst the wind.

Wizard Dolan seemed very relaxed amongst all of this, “The wind can’t break our defense, Master Bennett.”

He could see. Although the wind blades collided against the defensive spell barrier, the barrier wasn’t moving and was held on. Abel was not the type to rely entirely on others, though. So, by making the sword on his right disappear, he replaced it with his shield. It was a strange thing to have two shields in his hand, but with this, he could put himself mostly in safety. Also, the “spirit” shields had runes on them. They were about the finest steel pieces that he could produce.

As the three legendary wizards lowered themselves, the density of the wind blades grew thicker as well. Under an attack such as this, it’d be very easy to be shredded without the right kind of protection.

Abel’s senses were telling him that danger was everywhere. Although the wind blades weren’t so impressive to him, it was certainly deadly. By the way, Wizard Dolan almost died when he came here for the first time. He was alone at the time, and since he was trapped by these wind blades in all directions, he was busy guarding them. Because of this experience, he learned that it would be much easier to bring company with him.

The three legendary wizards weren’t going down so quickly. They seemed to realize that something special was here. They couldn’t accelerate. From what Abel could see, there had to be something that happened here to trigger some aftereffect.

The wind blade was just as sudden as when it came. When Abel was watching the barrier growing thinner and thinner, the blade was just gone. Things didn’t go easier for him after that, however. The environment around him was growing even colder. Right here, big pieces of ice appeared amidst the eye of the demon. The big ones were as large as two square meters, while the small ones would only be the size of a bean.

The three legendary wizards all started to look a lot tenser than this. They started drawing spell runes in their hands. Followed by that, under the three lights, the freezing elements looked a lot more active. Ice pillars started flying out, and instead of reaching over to the distance, they became three ice walls that appeared in front of the three legendary wizards.

Abel was quite impressed with how well the three legendary wizards could maneuver themselves. The ice pillars could freeze the enemies on the spot, but the fact that they were becoming ice walls made him realize that he was not being creative enough to make the most out of this spell.

Essentially, the three ice walls would form a triangle structure that would protect the four as they were in it. Abel was watching to see that there was an ice cube of about 50 cubic centimeters in volume. When it slammed on the ice wall, there was a scar on the wall. Followed by that, more and more ice pieces would crash onto the wall and leave different marks. Luckily, this was the ocean. After replenishing some freezing elements from their surroundings, the three legendary wizards managed to fix the wall quite quickly.

Wizard Golan laughed and spoke, “Good thing these cubes aren’t so big!”

Just as he was speaking, there was a giant cube that was about 5 meters tall and 4 meters wide flying towards them.

Wizard Doran complained, “You brought this to yourself, Golan.”

Wizard Golan waved his hand and threw a fireball. After crashing the boulder, the piece of ice became smaller chunks of ice. Abel could feel that the temperature was becoming colder and colder, so much so that his body was starting to feel numb.

Wizard Dolan reminded Abel, “Be careful of the low temperature here, Master Bennett. The cubes aren’t the main threat here.”

The ice cubes looked like they would hurt if they came crashing down, but that’s not really the case for legendary wizards. Under environments like this, while it was impossible to extend their power of the Will, they had no choice but to defend themselves passively. Wizard Golan, for instance, could not move his fireball after he unleashed it. The fireball was hit down by the giant ice boulder since it was flying towards something too big. However, if these legendary wizards focused on the smaller ice cubes and several hundreds of them, it’d also be impossible to hit these precisely.

Abel took out a “melting potion” and drank. He was starting to feel the numbness and coldness disappearing. He could feel his body starting to warm up. He could activate his fire element and eradicate all this cold from him, but that would expose his identity as a law-defying wizard. It’d be more fitting for a potion master to use potions to remove this cold.

The three legendary wizards continued to bring Abel downward. The ice started to disappear, and the lowered temperature was returning to normal. Mist started to rise in four directions. Again, as it grew thicker and thicker, it got harder to see anything anymore. Abel could only sense that the three legendary wizards were still around to protect him. At a further spot, since he couldn’t even use his power of the Will, all he could really see was fog.

Wizard Dolan spoke to him softly, “You can reach the entrance after passing through here, Master Bennett. Let’s not make any noise from here, though.”

Following what he said, the three legendary wizards started slowing down to try not to make any sound. They started going downward as quietly as they could. Abel’s senses were telling him that danger was coming from behind. He was just ready to tell Wizard Dolan, but as he remembered the warning about not making any noise, he could only place the shield in front to block the incoming danger. He could feel something being blocked by Wizard Golan’s defensive spell, though. He didn’t like this feeling. He didn’t know what attacked him, and he couldn’t make any precise calculation.

Maybe the attack just then was caused by Wizard Golan’s defensive spell. His senses were telling him of the many threats. It was almost like many unknown creatures were coming towards them to attack.

Wizard Dolan could no longer keep being quiet, “Damn it! Unleash the firewall!”

He then activated a spell rune in his hand. A firewall was being cast at a spot ten meters in front of him. The other two legendary wizards did the same, and that protected them from the wall.
