The angelic body withdrew the two divine items quickly. Abel didn’t bother checking. The entire Nation of God could be onto him right now. He didn’t know that the divine blood he threw away already diverted most of the attention away from him. No, he had no idea.
As far as the Saint was concerned, he had to get as many men as he could to pose a threat to the god of theft. The god of theft was just too fast this time. He understood what speed was required to bypass the scanning circle installed at the central temple. He was not letting down his guard.
Abel, on the other hand, knew his speed was a bluff. He could go as fast as he wanted running away, but if he were to engage in an actual fight, he didn’t think that he was going to last too long at all.
Abel put his druid spirit back into his body, then had his angelic body inside his druid spirit. Next, he put away the large-sized seclusion and had Johnson back inside his portal beast ring. After that, he changed to the invisibility cloak that he retrieved. As soon as he had it on, under the buff of the mystic headband, his maximum reach with “instantaneous movement” was 3000 meters in total.
Abel arrived back at the beach. After walking out of the defensive barrier of the guardian wings, he let out a long breath in relief. He was finally safe. As long as he was here, he would have no more concerns with the people after him at the Nation of God. That was because this was the territory of Kemble the golden dragon.
After teleporting himself to the Firetooth Castle, Abel went full speed back to the golden castle. He knew that the teleportation circles were now under full control of the Wizard Union, so if he were to sneak in, he would have to go in with paths that he opened himself. He couldn’t even use the closest teleportation circle in the nearby city because he had too many secrets that he didn’t want the Wizard Union to know about.
Just like that, Abel went quietly back inside the golden castle. Inside, nobody knew that the owner just went out for a trip to do something that would influence the fate of the entire continent.
Abel went out of the Firetooth Castle and used the short distance teleportation circle to head back into the training room. As soon as he went in, he switched on all the defensive circles and seclusion circles that he had. After activating one “Town Teleportation Circle,” he used a teleportation portal to return to the dark world. Once he was back, he looked towards the Rogue’s Encampment and felt the immense control the divine spirit had. He was finally starting to relax. Once again, he called out the angelic body. The angelic body laughed at the human body, while the human body did the same in return.
“Ha, ha ha ha ha!”
Abel’s two bodies laughed out loudly. Perhaps neither the Wizard Union nor the central continent would ever learn about this. Abel took all the equipment that the demon from beyond used to have. There was the divine portal bag, something reserved for the Saint. There was also the divine armor, which Abel took from the Lance Continent.
On a side note, the Wizard Union still had no idea that the Lance Continent was still decimated. It might take two years for them to hear the news. Meanwhile, Abel was just glad that he got the divine longsword and the divine shield. This made the demon from beyond a lot less frightening. The demon from beyond came alone from a different world. Abel stole everything that he could have brought.
He took four divine items in total. Abel just gained the right to all of them. Even the ownership circles were now powered by his power of the Will. If the demon from beyond were to wake up now, that would affect his fighting power to a very devastating extent. Or so he thought. Even now, he still had no idea that it was actually the angelic wings that had the biggest influence on the demon’s fighting capabilities. If the demon from beyond was to obtain the angelic wings after its awakening, it could then just be promoted into a four-winged angel. That would mean that its strength would be double that of Abel’s angelic body.
Thinking back, the Wizard Union had to organize all the strongest groups in the entire world to defeat the demon from beyond. If the demon from beyond were to return with, say, double the amount of fighting powers, it would take more than the entire world to make it sleep again.
His angelic body put the divine longsword and the divine shield on the ground. Abel took his time to examine the two. The longsword was a standard forge accustomed to sacred knights. He was the owner of it already, but when he was holding it, it felt like 500 kg. This was already heavier than the heaviest weapon on the continent, so he figured that this must be something that the war puppet should be using. Still, since it was the same size as a normal sword, he thought that the material was very special in its own right. But, even as a grandmaster blacksmith, he didn’t know what it was made of.
Stranger yet, Abel was the owner of the sword, but it was still so heavy. If he were an ordinary law-defying wizard, he wouldn’t even hold it now. He looked towards his angelic body to seek confirmation. The angelic body took a step forward and held it for him. It felt like a feather in the angelic body’s hand. Also, the abilities of a divine spirit were notifying him of the kind of trait this divine longsword possessed.
Holy angelic sword
Specialized weapon for angels
Weight: 0
Cannot be destroyed
Increased attack power 500%
Increase attack speed 200%
Increase damage to undead creatures by 500%
After getting a good look at the traits of the longsword, Abel couldn’t help but twitch. These effects were not as strong as he liked, but they were all very practical in their own right. With a weight of 0 and an increased speed of 200%, the enemies might have trouble seeing the sword at all. That, with an increased attack power of 500%. That might kill everything with one hit. Of course, that’d be under the premise that the angelic body was close to the enemy, and that was no easy task when all the opponents above legendary were capable of flight.
There was also the trait of “cannot be destroyed.” This holy angelic sword was indestructible in its own right. Finally, there was an increased 500% damage to undead creatures. It really reflected how good angels were at fighting against hell creatures. This could be observed from all the divine weapons that were manufactured.
Abel was very satisfied with this new weapon, all in all. His angelic body just became a whole lot more frightening. He could fight anyone on the ground, just not those who were capable of flying in the air.
After obtaining the angelic wings, the overall strength of the angelic body was doubled. It was the same for its light power attacks. After gaining the holy angelic sword, it was buffed five times over. The attack speed was doubled. Abel could scream with this in his hand, and if his enemies had any senses, they might not do anything at all. Still, for the time being, he was only planning to use his angelic body inside the dark world until his angelic body was fully matured.
Once again, Abel picked up the divine shield and inspected it.
Holy angelic shield
Specialized shield for angels
Weight: 0
Cannot be destroyed
Defense: 2000
Increase all elemental resistance by 100%
Increased damage by 400%
+1000 defense against long-distance attack
Recovery speed +100
The holy angelic shield inherited one special thing. It was just as light and the defensive capability was at a ridiculous 2000 points. This proved to be even more relevant when the shield itself was indestructible. In Abel’s estimation, attacks within 2000 points could be blocked very easily with this. Anything over that value could just be intercepted with the transfer effect. Actually, maybe that wasn’t even needed. The angelic body already possessed elemental resistance, so with increased resistance of 100%, it might just be able to neglect even the damage of ordinary law-defying wizards.
The recovery speed was 100. Under this kind of circumstances, even if the defense were broken through, it would just regenerate itself.
The divine armor, however, was not so impressive compared to the sword and shield. Abel was quite confused, but he figured that the sword and shield were just too strong for the armor to be of any relevance. For an angel like the demon from beyond, it was more important to develop his own followers. That was perfect for the divine armor.
Abel laughed and held the holy angelic sword and holy angelic shield. He was wearing a “Tyrael power” on him, which, like his other gears, was indestructible. He wouldn’t have to ever worry about fixing gears for his angelic body.
Abel then looked towards his other things. He didn’t think that he could get the magic items, magic cloaks, and the magic staff out. He couldn’t do it now, so he would have to wait at least a very, very long time. He knew how terrifying the intelligence network of the Nation of God was, so if he brought anything out, he would’ve been found out immediately. It would just be one legendary sacred knight after him if that were the case. It would be the entire military.
Abel went ahead and dropped the angelic portal bag into his divine portal bag. A bit later, he would have to keep these things inside the portal bag. He then got 5362 holy crystals and some half-finished ones out. He knew how precious these were, but he really had no idea how to use them. His level was not high enough to learn about how important these resources were. He was just curious why his body had no change to the crystal. Perhaps the crystal did not affect him whatsoever.
If it were related to the divine spirit, he would think quickly to himself and the Beamon giant beast. All this time, Doff received faith from the barbarians of the Battlesong Plateau. Most of the divine power would just go into the ancient totem. However, after all the transformation done to Doff, its body was still a lot stronger. Abel could tell very clearly as the master, so he always believed that he just needed some more time for Doff to eventually become a real divine spirit.
When Abel opened his portal beast ring and did not call Doff out, he was just starting to understand how anxious Doff was getting. That was quite rare. Doff was always very simplistic in its emotions: love towards its master and anger towards its enemies. This was the first time that Abel felt that it was requesting something else so strongly. The holy crystals probably worked very well for it. He figured as much already.
Well, as long as it was good for Doff, Abel was not going to spare too much of his holy crystals. That was even if he knew how rare these crystals were. He was in contact with a lot of powerful figures already. He had barely heard from any powerful figures about it.
Doff was just jumping out of the portal beast ring. Its round eyes stared towards the holy crystals that were within the golden castle. As though suppressing its desires, it did not touch the divine crystals that were inside the box. Abel was happy to see this. As the supposed parent to Doff, he was very pleased to see that his supposed child understood restraint.
