Abe the Wizard

Chapter 233 Crystal Body

As Abel drove to the den of the apes, he was stunned by the beautiful scenery that was in front of him. There was a big lake, and it was so clear that he could see the large stones that were at its bottom. Around the lake were multiple big trees, which were bent so much that their branches were touching the water that was below. It was almost like they were one with the lake itself.

Even the air was starting to feel very different. It was so refreshing to take a breath here. Abel didn’t want to ruin the environment here, so he told Black Wind not to put too much power into its steps.

There was a giant boulder next to the lake. Since there were some hairs on it, Abel was sure this was where the ice fire apes inhabited. As he moved it, he could feel a strong impose pressure that was appearing. Black Wind collapsed to the ground as soon as it sensed it. It could barely stand straight in the presence of a superior creature. That really pissed Black Wind off. Apart from its own master, no one was going to let a godlike beast like it bow down.

Abel tried to calm himself down. As invincible as this imposing pressure was, he couldn’t feel any intent to harm from it. Whatever the source of this aura was, it probably just wanted to assert its authority.

Abel jumped down from Black Wind’s back. As he moved forward slowly, the golden combat qi surrounded him and started flashing into a golden armor. He could feel a certain weight when he was walking on the ground. For some reason, it made him confident.

As Abel drew himself closer to the overwhelming imposing pressure, he could feel that the air around him start to become tenser. Since he’s got the golden combat qi armor around himself, he was able to keep his balance on the ground. The den of the ice fire apes was just in front of him. That’s where the imposing pressure came from.

Since he couldn’t sense anything dangerous, he could tell that there wasn’t anything life-threatening that was inside the den. That’s why he dared to walk forward. Since he could see that the den was empty, he knew that the source of the imposing pressure was some sort of valuable treasure.

The entrance of the den was blocked with some bushes. Amongst them, Abel could see a shining crystal that was the size of a fist. When he tried to grab it, frost started to appear on his hands. Maybe it was the crystal core of some sort of animal.

Without taking too much time to examine this thing, Abel threw the crystal into his personal storage box after wrapping it with his power of the Will. Then, after checking the den again, he jumped on top of Black Wind’s back again.

At the entrance of the valley, the eldest Borton was cutting the ice fire ape’s skull. He was doing it very carefully. He wanted to extract the crystal core that was inside without damaging it. When he did, he grabbed the soft crystal and came to Bernie’s side.

“Master, this is an intermediate crystal core! Your life can be saved with this!”

The eldest Borton’s eyes were kind of red. So much effort was put into finding this core, after all.

Wizard Aitken took a crystal bottle out from his portal bag. When he gave it to Bernie, Bernie slowly inserted the crystal core into it. There was already some medicine inside, and with the crystal core of an ice fire ape combined with it, Bernie could get the cure he was looking for this entire time.

After shaking the crystal bottle for a bit, Bernie started swallowing the liquid down. Then, steam started popping out from his body. It was like this for a while. He started sneezing, which made him feel like all the burdens were removed from his body.

“Did it worked?” Borton asked.

“Yes, it worked! It worked!” Bernie laughed.

Suddenly, a roar from inside the valley came to disturb these dwarves. More ice fire apes were coming, and they had to leave as quickly as they could.

“Take Master Bernie, Wizard Aitken! Leave this place!” Borton shouted as he raised his shield and sword.

“We’re going together, Borton! There’s no way you can win against it!” Bernie commanded.

No one was confident to stop the ice fire ape. They were all exhausted. The Borton brothers and the golden flying mount already used their secret techniques. It would take an entire day if they wanted to refill their stamina.

Wizard Aitken had barely any mana left. Even if they were all in their best condition, they would still have no chance against the ice fire аре.

“Hurry up, Sir! Just go already! Please!” Borton shouted anxiously.

“You know who I am! I won’t go without you all!” Bernie smiled.

“Very well, then, Sir Bernie. I’ll try my best to trap it.” Wizard Aitken said.

They all just stood there and waited for the ice fire ape to come. Wizard Aitken was sitting on the ground. He took out a potion and drank a whole bottle of it. Soon, his face started to redden in a very bizarre fashion.

Half of Wizard Aitken’s mana was immediately recovered. He wasn’t happy about it, though. The potion he drank was meant to be a special drug. Once this battle was over, he would’ve had to wait for an entire month before he could move again.

The dwarves were very fearful when they saw the ice fire ape. This one seemed stronger than the one before. It was much taller. Much more muscular. It would be very hard to stop a creature like this.

The ice fire ape was furious as it looked at the body of its partner. When it shouted, it was like thunder struck the earth. When it stepped on the lightning chain circle, Wizard Aitken activated the circle and trapped it on the spot.

The ape struggled to get out. Wizard Aitken’s face was pale. Every time the ape moved, it started to affect him as the user of the lightning chain circle. It felt like his head was being hit with a giant hammer.

In just two short minutes, even when the dwarves had not yet broken the ice fire ape’s defense, Wizard Aitken had already lost consciousness. After spitting out some blood, he just collapsed on the ground.

The lightning circle couldn’t trap the ice fire ape anymore. Now that it was free, It roared towards those dwarves with a big fireball in its hand. The dwarves felt like giving up, but when they waited for death to come, something stopped the ape from swinging its arm at them.

As though having sensed something, the ice fire ape looked towards another direction. It started shouting and ran back towards the valley.

“I don’t think we can pay back what we owe Master Abel,” Bernie said with a bitter smile.

Borton laughed, “That’s no big deal, Sir! If he ever needs us, we’ll just fight for him with our lives!”

“Mr. Bernie, let’s go! It isn’t safe here!” the golden flying knight warned.

“You’re right,” Bernie waved his hands at him, “Rally up! We’re going to have some rest back at the camp.”

Abel was already on top of White Cloud’s back. Since he could still hear the deafening sound of the ice fire ape from below, he could tell how important the crystal core must’ve been. That just made him even more curious about what it could do.

Soon, White Cloud flew Abel back to the camp. Some of the dwarves were not back when he was. He was worried about them, but it wasn’t like he could do much to help them. Funnily enough, he’s already helped them without even knowing it. Since he was greedy enough to steal the crystal core away, that actually stopped the ice fire ape from killing the dwarves.
