The fight was more violent than Abel thought, and so was Knight Ando, even with a body full of bad injuries.
“Larkin, Luke. I heard the Wizard Union is using the blood of legendaries to make potions. Did you think I will save any blood for you while you’re trying to kill me slowly?” Knight Ando’s voice was ice cold.
The legendary wizards did not reply. Instead, they just increased their speed casting speed.
“Haha!! Blood burn!” Knight Ando began to laugh frantically. In a roar, a scary shockwave of red blood blasted up towards the sky.
He was a legendary knight, and he has been training his body and strengthening his blood ever since he became an official holy knight.
Blood burn was a technique that would burn one’s life force. It could increase his power to the maximum.
This was his final fight, and he knew he could no longer change the result.
The legendary wizards were caught in a puzzling situation. They knew knight Ando just didn’t want them to get his blood after all.
Blood burning was extremely painful. It was like getting your bones and muscles being ripped apart. Even Knight Ando’s eyes were getting red.
However, he still rather destroys his body than letting the wizard union take advantage of it.
As a legendary professional, his body was unlike any other. Every single drop of blood was a reflection of their strength.
No legendary would ever waste their blood. They might use other’s blood to make potions, but never their own. Each drop was the result of countless hardships and resources.
Abel had some potion formula, and he knew how valuable the blood of a legendary was.
It was just that no legend had ever died in the front line, at least not in the past thousands of years. Even getting injured was rare.
Therefore, only some legendaries guarding the front line could make contact with the blood of other legends for research.
“Ando, why struggle!” Wizard Larkin threw out a fireball and lowered his voice.
“My lord will end you. And my soul will live on forever!” Knight Ando roared.
He didn’t expect his soul to return to the Holy Kingdom, but he still hoped his lord would reward him when they woke up from slumber. Ando hoped his lord would take back his soul.
After using the holy crystal, he knew a god would be able to get him a new body if it desired.
It was his last hope, and he would madly hold on to it. One day his loyalty would be rewarded.
“The battle’s coming to an end!” Abel mumbled from afar.
He sensed blood dropping at an immense rate from Knight Ando. The burning process has begun.
“Blast!” Knight Ando focused on his heart and directly blasted out the core of his blood from his mouth.
A waterfall of blood blasted towards the sky, and the Legendary Wizards flashed away. They knew Knight Ando was done, and there was no need for them to get too close and risk their lives.
Everyone on the spot, including Abel, knew Knight Ando was dead. There were no more signs of life within the cloud of blood.
Just when Abel wanted to reach out to his power of the will to examine the condition, a pure white beam of light shot out from the falling body.
It was a thick one, almost 10 times the size of a mad knight, and it was charging towards the sky.
Soon, Abel realized something different. Normal soul beams were waves of energy, but this one was so large that it was almost solid.
Suddenly, Izual stopped his prayers and reached out his hand for a grab in the solid soul beam. A half-transparent body was dragged into the crystal angel statue.
It all happened so quickly Abel almost didn’t have the time to react.
He did this in front of the legendary wizards. If he was spotted, he would immediately be locked up for research.
Luckily, the Wizards were looking towards the sky with a hint of melancholy.
It seems like they did not notice that little move by Izual. Maybe Izual power was too great for them to notice.
Abel did not look into his crystal angel statue. He would not take any risks in front of those Legendary Wizards.
The legendary wizards were not happy about the death of Knight Ando. Instead, there was a deep sense of respect on their faces.
There was not a single drop of blood left on the corpse of Knight Ando on the ground. Just like he said, the wizard union would not get anything from him.
His body was almost like a dried-up lump of meat and skin with injuries from fire and ice.
“When was the last time we saw a legendary light?” Wizard Larkin lowered his voice.
“It’s been many years!” Wizard Luke sighed.
Abel had his eyes on the dead body of Knight Ando, but he just didn’t know what to say.
Still, he didn’t want to miss this rare chance.
“Master Bennett, this might be the view of your golden castle for the next 10 years!” Wizard Larkin turned back to Abel and laughed.
It seems like Wizard Larkin had gotten over the death of a legendary, and his cheerfulness had returned.
“The prestigious legendary wizard Larkin, what are you talking about?” Abel was confused.
“That’s a legendary light, the energy unleashed by a legend’s soul and body when they die. They can last for 10 years!” Wizard Larkin smiled.
Abel was not excited by this news. He planned to keep his location a secret, but that thing was basically giving him a clear marking for the next 10 years.
Imagine how many professionals would want to come and look at the final grounds for a legendary.
Still, they were outside of the Harden Valley, and mountains surrounded the place. As long as he kept his eyes peeled, people probably wouldn’t figure out the exact location of his castle.
“Wizard Larkin, Wizard Luke, what should we do with the dead body?” Abel asked carefully.
But at the same time, Abel was anticipating his answer.
“Master Bennett, you want it?” The legendary wizards exchanged gaze, and Wizard Larkin laughed.
“Wizard Larkin, I know this request is a little strange, but I want to do some research on it!” Abel quickly added.
“Master Bennett, your contribution in this fight was the greatest. You not only stoped Knight Ando, but you also badly injured him which made our job a lot easier!” Wizard Larkin smiled.
Abel’s felt his heart lift and smiled.
“But!” Wizard Larkin suddenly added, and Abel’s face froze. He wanted to say something, but his tongue wouldn’t let him.
“But a legendary corpse is too valuable. You need to exchange it with something!” WIzard Larkin finally finished his sentence.
Although the most valuable blood was gone, every part of a legendary’ soul body would be made into potions.
It was just that it had been a long time since they got a legendary body. The Wizard Union’s potion maker needed to spend a long time to research and make new potion formulas.
So if Master Bennett wanted it, he could get a head start.
His influence would be much greater than any potion maker in the Wizard Union as the number one potion maker.
Even the legendary wizards relied on Master Bennett’s potion in their fight.
Wizard Larkin, what do you want?” Abel felt relieved again. His most powerful identity was a potion maker, so of course, it was to do with potions.
“Master Bennett, i heard you saved more than 10 Law Defying wizards in the Defence Wall of Doomsday!” Wizard Larkin smiled.
Abel nodded. It was no secret. He was expecting the Wizard Union to find out eventually anyway.
He saved way too many law defying wizards. Even those paying attention to the front line would be able to notice.
“Both me and Luke have some disciples who sacrificed themselves and ended up in the magic tower. I hope you can save them!” Wizard Larkin said with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
Legendaries were basically old monsters who lived for thousands of years. The only thing that could impact their feelings was their disciples.
“Wizard Larkin, Wizard Luke, how many disciples do you have?” Abel felt his heart lifted even more. Saving wizards was an easy job.
“Ah! Not many. I have 3 and Luke has 4. That should be okay right?” Wizard Larkin coughed lightly and said.
“That’s no problem. As long as you send them to the golden castle. I’ll do my work!” Abel nodded.
“Master Bennett, I’ll thank you on behalf of my disciples!” Wizard Luke did a gentle bow.
“I will do my best!” Abel quickly bowed back.
“Master Bennett, you should put away Knight Ando’s corpse now. I hope you can maintain your respect during the research. Otherwise, us legendaries won’t be happy!” Wizard Larkin looked at Knight Ando’s body one last time and turned back to Abel .
Abel then wrapped the body in his power of the will, and it entered his Holy Portal Bag.
He left Knight Ando’s gear on the ground. They were the legendary wizard’s spoils. They were not included in the body.
But of course, Abel wouldn’t care about those little gains. Even if the golden armor and the golden sword were the best this world had to offer. They were still nothing compared to his rune words.
There was no knight profession in the Central Continent anyway, so they would only be collectibles at most.
“Master Bennett, just put them away as well. We don’t want to separate them from the body!” Wizard Larkin laughed.
He did not expect Abel to give them the portal bag and gears anyway, but what Abel had offered still showed his character as a person.
