Chapter 192 Black Wind’s New Ability
After a while, Abel realized the changes were wearing off. It seemed like one bottle of ‘soul potion’ was not enough to evolve. It was just like Black Wind, but this time Abel did not stop. He took out another bottle of ‘soul potion, opened it, and poured it in White Cloud’s mouth.
The stale changes had speeded up once again. White Cloud’s enormous feather disappeared and reappeared. Abel looked at it with closed attention for half an hour, seemed like it still needs more ‘soul potion’ as the changes became stale once again.
Abel clenched his teeth, took out another bottle of ‘soul potion, and poured it in White Cloud’s mouth. This time, White Cloud feather flashed quickly. In the end, it’s entire body disappeared in front of Abel’s eye. After a while, it appeared again. Just like that, it continued to appear and disappear, in the end, “good” White Cloud called. But this time it’s impose was many times stronger.
Did it rank up? Abel happily looked at White Cloud. It seemed like this rank up gave White Cloud a new ability. Unlike Black Wind, who naturally grew into a soul beast, it didn’t have any special ability.
That was the difference between a normal beast and a predator. For a predator, it was easier to become a soul beast, since it was very hard for a normal beast to rank up. However, once a normal beast successfully ranked up, they would most likely gain magical ability. Predators would need to rank up again to get that.
Abel command White Cloud through the soul chain “White Cloud, unleash your ability!”
After White Cloud made some “goo goo” sound, and it’s enormous body disappeared. It seemed like White Cloud completely mastered this ability during his process of ranking up.
Abel curiously stuck his hand forward to touch. He felt White Cloud’s feather in his hand. Although his hand could sense White Cloud’s presence, all his power of the will could see was a field of nothingness. Abel was extremely shocked. He had always trusted his power of the will deeply, but now he realized what he felt could be so different from what his power of the will sensed. He had once again gained more knowledge of the wonder of this world.
As Abel was still shocked that the body of White Cloud had disappeared, he noticed the carriage on its body had also disappeared.
If Abel sat on the back of White Cloud, would he also disappear as well?
Up to this point, Black Wind irritatedly bumped Abel with its head. It seemed like it was jealous that White Cloud had a special ability, and it didn’t.
Abel was not a stingy guy. Both Black Wind and White Cloud were his most loyal partners. He knew they would never betray him, so increasing their ability would be like increasing his own ability.
He took out his last bottle of ‘soul potion.’ Through the soul chain, he said to Black Wind, “This is the last bottle, I hope you can grasp an ability. If not, you will have to wait a while.”
Afterward, Abel opened the bottle and poured it into Black Wind’s mouth.
After the ‘soul potion’ was poured into Black Wind’s mouth, he yearned and laid on the floor to sleep.
As soon as Black Wind fell asleep, its body began to flash in electric arcs. Every strand of fur began to release electric arcs relentlessly, so Abel couldn’t help but step back. The electric arc shot out from Black Wind’s body to the floor. The dust on the floor struck up by the electric arc, covering Abel in dust.
Abel intensely looked at the dust swirling up in front of him. Although Black Wind was tiny compared to the size of White Cloud, its process of ranking up was 2 times as dramatic as the one of White Cloud. That’s the difference between a predator and a normal beast.
After a long time, Abel was getting desperate. But suddenly, the dust settled, and Black Wind woke up covered in dust. Black Wind’s features did not change. Only his impose was a little stronger.
Black Wind stood up and irritatedly shook off the dust on its fur to the ground.
Abel quickly asked through the soul chain, “Black Wind, did you succeed?”
Black Wind gently tipped its big head. It looked so proud of itself. Maybe it was because he needed less ‘soul potion’ than White Cloud to rank up.
“Black Wind, what ability?” Abel followed.
Electric spells could numb the enemy if you decided to attack, but not enough for defense. Abel was just not certain what specific spells did Black a Wind acquired.
Black Wind kneeled down, allowing its owner to get on its back. Abel hopped on. The moment he settled himself, the shadow of Black Wind disappeared on the sport and reappeared in a place a few hundred meters away.
“My god, Black Wind. Is this ‘move in a flash?” Abel couldn’t help but called in shock.
Seemed like ‘move in a flash’ was Black Wind’s natural ability. It could travel a little bit further than normal wizards. It was almost at the level of Wizard Morton.
Afterward, Abel asked Black Wind about the limit of this ‘move in a flash.’ According to the description of Black Wind, this ‘move in a flash’ could continue for 2 times in a role. It could only do it again after one hour of rest.
Of course, it was not like Wizard Morton could do a ‘move in a flash’ for an unlimited amount of time. But this ability was still the best live preserving method for an unexpected attack.
“Black Wind, jump on the back of White Cloud. We’ll head off to the sky.” Abel commanded.
In a flash of light, Abel disappeared with Black Wind as he was sitting on its back. Afterward, both of them reappeared on White Cloud.
“White Cloud, let’s fly!” Abel called.
White Cloud had almost been exclusively living in the sky during all this time. After it heard Abel’s word, it’s enormous body gently lifted off the ground, and escalated towards the sky.
After they had become stable in the sky, Abel lightly padded White Cloud’s feather and said: “White Cloud, let’s try out your new invisible ability!”
“Goo goo” White Cloud replied. Afterward, weird energy surrounded its body, even Abel, Black Wind, the carriage and everything on its back were surrounded as well
Abel looked around. Everything looked the same. But some kind of energy shielded them from the intense wind of the sky. This had made flying a lot more comfortable, as it was no longer as cool.
Wizard Bernal was a rank 11 wizard of the Duchy of Keyen. He had been feeling extremely heavy in his heart lately. Originally he only wanted to whip the trace of Wizard Ston (who had been labeled as a dark wizard in the Duchy of Keyen) from the face of the world while getting revenge for the Duchy of Carmel. However, this kill 2 bird with 1 stone plan was flipped upside down by a low ranking Wizard trying to do the operation by himself.
He could have never have guessed that there was such a loyal wizard among that 15 low ranking. That Wizard was so loyal to Wizard Ston. He would even put his family in the bet. Every wizard knew the outcome of attacking another wizard’s family. Since that low ranking wizard had died, the Duchy of Keyen would need to take up all the responsibility.
Throughout the day, Wizard Bernal had been receiving criticism from the Wizard Union and wizards from all the different Duchies. He had also gotten some news from the Blacksmith Union. The Blacksmith Union was protesting against the Duchy Keyen since the Duchy of Keyen had attacked the family of a Blacksmith Master, Master Abel.
In regards to the criticism from the Wizard Union, he could ask the elites from the Wizard Union to give him some face due to their connections. In regards to the critics from the wizards of different Duchies, Wizard Bernal did not care. Just give it some time, and the buzz would settle.
However, Wizard Bernal was very stressed in regards to the protest from the Blacksmith Union. Although the Blacksmith Union was only protesting, those hammer holding bastards had the support of an entire race. The dwarfs were not battle thirsty race, but their fighting ability was not bad at all. The dwarfs were known for protecting their members, and they always thought of the Blacksmith Union was a part of them. Luckily nothing too major had happened this time, so they had only protested. If an important member had really died or was badly injured, scary revenge and consequences would definitely dawn on the attacker.
In the Rocky Canyon in the Duchy of Keyen, there was a cave 300 meters beyond where the 6 magic towers stood. Wizard Ston sat inside the cave next to a simple mana gathering circle. He came out from his meditation state, seeing the intermediate gem supporting the mana gathering circle shattered. Wizard Ston could help but twitch his lips. Meditating using an intermediate gem every day was such a luxury. He would never do it if he had another choice.
“Idiot, how could a wizard failed in attacking a castle!” Wizard Ston mumbled to himself in anger as he walked out of the mana gathering circle.
It was Wizard Ston who ordered that rank 3 wizard. That rank 3 wizard did not attack the castle to avenge his teacher like how everyone thought. He did it for resources. Since Wizard Ston promised to give him resources, that rank 3 wizard decided to risk his family’s life. That was cold.
