Chapter 410 Air Raid

Abel was aiming for the body of the Cliff Magic Tower. He wanted to use his first arrow to test the strength the legendary mourning stone was.

Ding.

After flying through the air, the arrow and net were shot into the magic tower. The mourning stone was shaped like an arc, so it did manage to deflect a lot of the force that was directed at it. Still, the arrow ended up being stuck between two of the stones. At the same time, the Cliff Magic Tower was already activated. A siren rang through the entire structure.

“The Magic Tower is under attack. I Repeat. The Magic Tower is under attack. The strength of the attack is currently being calibrated. The protection barrier is being activated.”

Wizard Cliff was the first one to detect the attack. He had a call on his communication circle, but the conversation was interrupted when he felt a force coming at the magic tower. The tower was basically an extended part of his body, so it didn’t take him much time to notice that he was under an attack.

As for the tower’s automatic defense system, it would have to take a bit of time to analyze how strong the attack was. As of now, it was still trying to calculate the best form of defense based on the damage that the arrow dealt. Since the arrow was analyzed to be “extremely dangerous,” its protection barrier was activated to the max level.

“Who dares attack my tower?” Wizard Cliff hung up his call and screamed out the window. All the nearby wizards were scared when they heard this. They’ve never seen the Cliff Magic Tower being attacked before, so they all just ran towards the magic tower to figure out what was happening.

That wasn’t a very good idea. The super exploding ball just reached its 6 second limit.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM BOOM! B000000OM!

A loud bang and many more followed. Okay, so maybe it was the right idea to hide inside the magic tower. From what it looked like, the mourning stone did defend against most of the attack. Even the fire damage was mostly transferred to the elemental defense circle behind it. The outside of the tower looked perfectly fine.

Not the inside, though. Because of how powerful the super exploding ball was, the inside of the tower had just taken a massive, destructive hit. The wooden frames started falling apart. The stairs started collapsing. A few of the unprepared disciples had guts shaking out of their mouths, and they laid on the ground with blood all over them.

As for Wizard Cliff. He was fine, obviously. In fact, two of the official wizards that were serving him also survived. They used up a one-time passive defensive item to guard themselves against the explosion. On the side note, the item was something that they traded over the opportunity to have their own magic towers.

As an experienced wizard himself, he understood how strong the attack was. That being said, he obviously wasn’t going to risk going outside the tower. The important thing now for him was to figure out who was attacking him. More importantly, he needed to know how the tower was being attacked.

Those who rushed inside the building weren’t doing so well. The first wave of the exploding shattered pieces were all concentrated into the front yard, which literally penetrated through their bodies. It took two walls to completely stop those deadly, sharp pieces from cutting through the skins and bones of the wizards.

Next up was the shock wave from the explosion. Unlike the fragment pieces, the shock wave reached the entire area that the building was on. It swept through half of the front yard, and all the area that was around the tower itself.

Soon, the dust started falling down. The front yard became completely silent. Those who survived were petrified. A third of the area was gone. All that was in the shock wave’s way was swept to nothing. “Abel! It must be Abel! COME OUT!” Wizard Cliff’s angry voice echoed through the whole place.

Abel wasn’t replying, though. He was still admiring how strong the mourning stone was. It was the only thing that stood even after the super explosion happened.

Wizard Cliff was already charging the magic tower’s defense circle with high-level magic gemstones. He believed that if he did so, he could withstand even the next hit that was coming at him. As long as he could make Abel waste his ammunition, there was nothing to be afraid of. After all, even if Abel could miraculously become a, like, level 5 wizard, he was still nothing against a level 16 wizard in a one-on-one fight.

Wizard Cliff screamed through his volume circle, “YOU ARE A DEAD MAN, ABEL! HOW MANY OF THESE EXPLOSIONS DO YOU HAVE LEFT, HUH? COME OUT AND FACE ME! ISN’T THAT WHAT YOU’RE AFTER?”

Wizard Cliff was in a rush to find out where Abel was. Right now, he had no way of locating his exact whereabouts. Once he did, he could always use his “instantaneous movement” spell to confront him.

Contrary to what Cliff was suggesting, White Cloud was flying higher to about a thousand meters in altitude. Right now, Abel was pointing his giant ballista at the remaining buildings next to the Cliff Magic Tower. By using his “telekinesis” spell, he placed another super-exploding ball into the next on the tip of his arrow.

Soon, the second arrow flew down to the ground. It came from a thousand meters from the sky, so it was very hard to react to it from where Wizard Cliff was standing.

The arrow hit a stone house that was inside the yard.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM BOOM! BOOM B000000OM!

An earth-splitting roar. The arrow literally reached the inside of the stone house. For a moment there, when the explosion happened, the entire building was inflating like there was an ever-growing monster that was inside. When the building could not withstand the sheer energy, everything was smashed into particles that flew in every direction.

The broken stone pieces started flying. Like before, the shock wave annihilated everything that was in its way. Even more frightening was the remaining two-thirds of the area was turned into nothing.

There was nothing this strong recorded in the intelligence agency. Wizard Cliff stood in fear. He did not know what the power he witnessed was, but it was greater than even the power of an advanced wizard.

The second arrow just revealed where Abel was at. It did not matter, though. Since Abel was so high up in the sky, there was no way for Wizard Cliff to see where he should move to.

“That’s right! I can use the teleportation circle to leave!”

Wizard Cliff was no longer interested in finding and killing Abel. While the magic tower still stood straight, he already gave up trying to fight. His priority was to get out of this place. As long as he could head to the St. Ellis Wizard Union, he could always launch a revenge attack at Abel, should he ever dared to make a public appearance. The murderous intent remained in Wizard Cliff’s eyes. If Abel was in front of him right now, he was sure that he could kill him with his “instantaneous movement” spell. Before that, though, he had to escape.
