Chapter 1426: Afterwards

Meanwhile, in the outside world…

Wizard Smith, Headmaster Eugene, and Abel’s ten God Rank Summons waited patiently.

Both Headmaster Eugene and Wizard Smith knew very well that Wizard Hawthorn would soon have Abel in his grasp, and his God Rank Summons could not do anything about it.

Headmaster Eugene was furious, and Wizard Smith was nervous. Things had never been so messy.

As for Abel’s Summons, they kept their calm since they would only listen to Abel’s commands.

Suddenly, Wizard Hawthorn’s World began to shake, and two figures were thrown out of it.

“What is happening?” Wizard Smith immediately yelled, but at that exact moment, Abel’s ten God Ranks Summons locked him down with their Power of the Will. As soon as he made a wrong move, their attacks would explode!

Still, Wizard Smith just couldn’t help it. What had happened was not what a normal inner world would do!

It had lost its autonomy and was corrupting at visible speed. There was only one cause for that, and it was the death of the World’s owner!

But how? Wizard Smith was at a clear advantage in his World, and Abel was only a rank 32 Half-god wizard!

But soon he no longer had to speculate, because the dead Wizard Hawthorn really was in Abel’s hands!

He died so fast that the phenomena that normally came with the death of a God Rank didn’t even occur!

“Headmaster Abel, you are ok?!” Headmaster Eugene was stunned, but he still felt a big weight lifted from his shoulders.

“Yeah, but not him!” Abel smiled grimly, nodding and holding up Wizard Hawthorn’s body.

“Headmaster Abel, I am so sorry for what happened. It’s all my fault!” Headmaster Eugene gave him a deep bow.

“No, it’s not. We just underestimated how disgraceful the Wizard Union can be!” Abel replied angrily.

Afterwards, he turned to Wizard Smith and began thinking.

Since what Wizard Hawthorn had done was beyond any redemption, no one would say anything if he killed Wizard Smith on the spot.

As he was thinking, Wizard Hawthorn’s inner world finally blasted up to the sky, piercing through the holy Barrier.

It was a rare scene, almost like another sun was formed in mid air, and all the civilians who saw it were stunned. Still, they had no idea what it was.

On the other hand, the owner of the Saint Castle was extremely pale as he watched fromanother castle in the distance. A God Rank had been killed, and a God Rank fight would mean the death of everyone around!

Wizard Smith saw the look on Abel’s face and quickly explained, “Headmaster Abel, Wizard Hawthorn acted out of his own will, the Wizard Union didn’t know anything about this!”

“Wizard Smith, I’m not trying to give you a hard time, but you better give me a good explanation!” Abel said through gritted teeth.

He wanted to keep Wizard Smith alive as a witness to what had happened. Headmaster Eugene alone would not be enough, as he was a dragon. In fact, they might even suspect Headmaster Eugene of teaming up with Abel to kill two God Rank wizards!

“Headmaster Abel, don’t worry, I will definitely do so!” Wizard Smith felt his heart lift and bowed deeply again. “Headmaster Eugene, I did not expect any of this to happen. I will make a detailed investigation and give the dragons a good explanation!” He then bowed once more.

Headmaster Eugene was the middleman, and what had happened almost cost the dragons a Headmaster. No matter what, Wizard Smith also needed to give him a satisfying response. As for the war he had mentioned, it was put to the side since Abel was still okay.

——

Wizard Smith did not stay for long, disappearing in a flash of white light. If Abel changed his mind, his ten God Rank Summons would put the wizard in great danger, after all.

Afterwards, Headmaster Eugene did not ask Abel what had happened. All he knew was that Abel had some extremely powerful secret lifesaver capable of killing the owner of an inner world.

“I was not expecting any of this!” Abel shook his head as he put Wizard Hawthorn’s body into his personal storage box.

It was the most danger he had ever been in. Even if he had successfully killed Wizard Hawthorn, he would not be as lucky in the future. The other wizards would learn from Wizard Hawthorn’s mistake and go straight for the kill!

After all, a life saver was the most powerful when no one knew about it!

“Headmaster Abel, if the Wizard Union doesn’t give us a satisfying answer, I will declare war!” Headmaster Eugene stated with steely determination. Even though Abel did not blame him for what had happened, he still wanted to do something about it.

——

Meanwhile, the Moon Goddess also saw the fall of a God Rank in the Saint Castle. She quickly thought of the eight Summons Abel had brought in.

“Something big happened!” she mumbled as she gazed out from her flower-filled Divine Realm.

Indeed, not a single God Rank had died for thousands of years, yet everything had changed in the past few years.

After all, she was also a God Rank. She didn’t know who the dead God Rank was, but she could speculate. Since Abel had been negotiating with the Wizard Union, it should be one of them!

——

Wizard Smith teleported back to the Wizard Union from the Saint Castle, and finally let out a breath of relief.

He had never been so close to death. Being held down by ten God Ranks was not a good feeling. He didn’t ever want to experience it again and what had happened made him fear death even more.

“Damn that Wizard Hawthorn!” he swore heavily.

Wizard McPhee had just sensed Wizard Smith with his Power of the Will and asked, “Wizard Smith, what happened? Where’s Hawthorn?”

Wizard Smith quickly expanded his Power of the Will in return, and realized all the God Rank wizards had gathered in the meeting room, waiting for his return.

With a Flash, he appeared in the meeting room.

“Everyone, I almost didn’t come back!” Wizard Smith spoke gloomily, before even taking a seat.

“What, Headmaster Abel made a move?” Wizard McPhee was stunned.

Just when Wizard Smith was about to reply, Wizard Harr appeared, sweating heavily. He stood outside the meeting room and bowed. “Your honors, I have a report!”

“What report?” Wizard McPhee called out with dissatisfaction, but he still waved Wizard Harr in.

Wizard Harr quickly stepped inside respectfully. “A God Rank was killed outside of Saint Castle!” he declared.

“What?” Almost every God Rank wizard stood up, their energy knocking Wizard Harr to the ground.

None of them cared. Instead, they all turned to Wizard Smith.

He and Wizard Hawthorn were the ones who had gone to negotiate with Abel, and he was the only one who returned.

“Yes, Wizard Hawthorn is dead!” Wizard Smith said helplessly.

“Headmaster Abel killed him?” Wizard McPhee demanded. Although he was not close to Wizard Hawthorn, they were both still God Ranks, so how could he not be furious?

All the other God Rank wizards were thinking the same thing and a murderous energy engulfed the meeting room, knocking Wizard Harr down once again.

“Everyone, listen to me. Things did not go down the way you think!” Wizard Smith shook his head at them and continued, “The negotiations went smoothly at first, and both our sides came to a happy agreement. But as we were ready to go, Wizard Hawthorn suddenly captured Headmaster Abel with his inner world. What happened next is hard to explain, but somehow Wizard Hawthorn was killed in his own World by Headmaster Abel!”

All the God Rank wizards exchanged gazes. Wizard Hawthorn was not the most powerful God Rank wizard, but he was definitely not weak!

He was somehow killed in his own World? No one would have believed it if the one who said it was not Wizard Smith!

“What Wizard Hawthorn did was a great insult to Headmaster Abel and Headmaster Eugene as the middleman. We must give the dragons and Headmaster Abel a good explanation!” Wizard Smith continued shakily.

“He killed Wizard Hawthorn already, what else does he want?” Wizard Mosley said irritably.

Another God Rank wizard had died, which had not happened even during their fights with the Holy Kingdom for the past thousands of years! This time, they not only did not get any compensation for Wizard Hawthorn’s death, they would be the ones paying Abel! How could any of them accept this?

Wizard Smith gazed around and asked them, “Did Wizard Hawthorn tell any of you about his plan before he left?”

“No!”

“No!” All the wizards shook their heads.

“Everyone, just listen to me. What Wizard Hawthorn did was a disgrace. No one would be able to say Headmaster Abel did anything wrong if he had killed me as well. Even though Wizard Hawthorn acted on his own terms, we must find a way to de-escalate our differences with Headmaster Abel and the dragons, at least before the President returns!” Wizard Smith said helplessly.

“Wizard Smith, are we to be afraid of Headmaster Abel?” Wizard Mosley asked grimly.

“Back in the Saint Castle when Wizard Hawthorn put Headmaster Abel in his world, he brought in ten God Ranks, without including Thief God Milton. Do you know what that means?” Wizard Smith asked them helplessly once more.

The room went silent. Even the whole Wizard Union could not gather ten God Ranks in an instant!
