Abe the Wizard

Emperor Ambrose was still contemplating, but Duke Earnest gave a royal knight a look. That royal knight quickly stepped up and dragged the emperor by his shoulder.

“No. I would rather die with the kingdom; I won’t leave!” The emperor yelled and struggled.

Although he was yelling very loud, that royal knight couldn’t feel the emperor resist.

The emperor knew very well that as long as he stayed alive, he would be able to connect with the other big nobles of the kingdom of St Ellis. They could even take down the duchy of Carmel.

He could also find the other 2 duchies, sign a treaty with them and ask for their help.

There was hope. He didn’t want to stay. He didn’t want to become a prisoner emperor. There had never been a prisoner emperor in history.

“Emperor Ambrose, I’m sorry, but you can’t leave!” Just when the emperor was being carried outside of the door, a white light flashed, and elite wizard Dyna appeared with a bow.

“Wizard Dyna, why are you here? Where’s the old man?” The emperor did not realize wizard Dyna had already become Abel’s man.

The emperor had lost his face. Seeing an elite wizard he knew was like seeing a lifesaver.

“Emperor Ambrose, I am now the guardian wizard for the duchy of Carmel. I will forever remain loyal to King Abel’s command!” Wizard Dyna said with a murderous gaze.

His emperor’s mistake turned him from an immaculately prestigious elite wizard to the slave of an intermediate female wizard.

He couldn’t wait to burn the emperor into ash but knew that was Abel’s business, so he put his anger away.

“As for the old man, he had turned into a soul beam. The third one in Harry Castle!” Wizard Dyna followed.

That soul beam was burned into his mind. It belonged to a rank 18 wizard. It was the first time he saw something like that.

“All your troops have been captured by the prestigious king Abel along with your son!” Wizard Dyna emphasized each word. each was like a cut to the emperor.

“Impossible, the old man is the most powerful wizard in the Holy Continent. He is invincible. My troops are the most powerful troops in the Holy Continent. It is impossible for a little Duchy to destroy us. You are lying!” Emperor Ambrose yelled back, his finger pointing at wizard Dyna.

A cold flash sparkled in wizard Dana’s eyes as he took a step forward. The royal knight combat qi exploded, but he was struck by an ice pole from wizard Dyna before he could even make a move.

The royal knight turned into an ice block with a furious look on his face. It seemed like he would remain like that forever.

Wizard Dyna’s victory was effortless. Their ranks were too far apart.

The emperor still had his finger up before wizard Dyna quickly grabbed him by the finger. Wizard Dyna couldn’t even bother to use a spell. He pressed down, and the emperor’s finger broke.

Although he couldn’t take the life of the emperor, no one would doubt him for breaking the finger of someone pointing at an elite wizard.

“Your Majesty!” Duke Earnest quickly stepped up and helped the emperor up. He then looked up at wizard Dyna and lowered his voice “Wizard Dyna, how could you do this to the emperor!”

“Haha!” Wizard Dyna replied with a cold laugh.

The other 2 elite wizards had blocked the other 2 exits of the palace. All the lords of the kingdom had been captured.

The 5 Sky Ships began to land. As the gates lowered, groups of knights in full armor neatly walked out.

They quickly made their way out of the royal palace and seized control of the city.

Abel disappeared from the Sky Ship and appeared in front of the royal palace in a few flashes.

“The prestigious King Abel!” The 3 elite wizards bowed.

Although that was all they did, it meant a lot, considering that they were elite wizards.

Even during the peak of the kingdom of St Ellis’s power, those wizards had not acted this respectful to emperor Ambrose.

Abel smiled and gently bowed back. He then turned his gaze to the Emperor, drenched in cold sweat holding his hand.

“Nice to see you again, the great Emperor Ambrose. It has been a long time, hasn’t it!” Abel said in a dull voice.

“Abel, what do you want?” The emperor lowered his voice.

“Emperor, you are too embarrassing. Your manners are disappointing!” Abel shook his head with a cold look on his face.

“The prestigious king Abel. Please forgive the emperor’s embarrassment. Your wizard hurt him!” Duke Earnest quickly stepped up and bowed. Conflict could break out at any moment.

“Hurt? Wizard Dyna was just doing what he is supposed to do!” Abel waved his hand.

Duke Earnest was a cunning old man. He wanted to test Abel and the elite wizard’s relationship, but they really were close.

“Thank you, majesty!” Wizard Dyna bowed.

Being respected even after giving out his soul had made him look at Abel in a new way. Although he did not have freedom, it seems like it wasn’t a bad thing to become a guardian wizard for the duchy of Carmel.

“I’m here to request the throne. Emperor Ambrose no longer has the power to take this position, and his family no longer has the right to control the kingdom, Abel said as he padded on the back of the throne.

“No, I would rather die!” The emperor yelled.

His worst nightmare had come true. A gut-wrenching pain emerged from within, compounded with the pain on his finger.

The kingdom of St. Ellis belonged to his family. His ancestors had built this place with blood on their swords. Even the scary young wizards in front of him were cultivated by the kingdom. How could he agree?

“Emperor Ambrose, if you sign a contract saying you are willing to give out the kingdom, I will make sure your family stays noble. you won’t have much power politically, but all your wealth will be untouched!” Abel said with a dull smile.

The best way to take over a kingdom was to force the emperor to willingly give it out. This way, the kingdom could be intact, and conflict wouldn’t break out at the core.

If he couldn’t do this, then he would have to use force. This would take more time since he had to cease control of the city one by one. Although the kingdom was very weak with most of their knights gone, there were still some stubborn ones.

And if they took too long, the other kingdoms might intervene.

Abel hated problems, so he always resolved things in the simplest way.

“Abel, just give up. The kingdom of St Ellis has stood for thousands of years with countless loyal nobles. You can turn the kingdom into flames, and they would still be standing by my side!” The emperor yelled with his face pale as a ghost.

Abel’s face palmed himself; the emperor’s behavior gave him a headache. He just couldn’t understand. His solution he had out was the simplest way to resolve this.

“Emperor Ambrose, maybe I’m too kind!” The smile on Abel’s face vanished, and he lowered his voice. “You should have expected this ever since you placed an assassin order on me. If you don’t want to do this the simple way, I’ll just have to kill every single person in the royal palace. I will then search every single person in your bloodline and make your family completely disappear from the Holy Continent. That’s what you get for wanting to kill me!”

The words of Abel send chills down every lord’s spine. They wouldn’t be nervous if another person had said this, but Abel was dominating the situation. There was nothing he wouldn’t do.

“The prestigious king Abel, please let me talk to the emperor!” Duke Earnest begged.

“Ok, Duke Earnest, I’ll give you some time!” Abel said with a cold face.

Duke Earnest then turned to Emperor Ambrose. He was his blood brother. If Abel really was going to kill all the royals, his family would be the first one in line.

“Your Majesty, things have already reached this point. Please think about your family, about your children. Let them live!” Duke Earnest begged again.

“Earnest, are you scared? Are all of you scared? You are my lords, and you are scared? The kingdom is ours. What would the kingdom be with the royals!” Emperor Ambrose looked insane. He pointed at the lords despite a broken finger.

“Wizard Dyna, please take some blood from the emperor and make a bloodline circle. I want to know every single person connected to him!” Abel had lost patience with the emperor.

Although it was a bit of a hassle, a single city couldn’t stop with 5 Sky Ships. The emperor had already made his choice.

“The prestigious Abel majesty, please wait !” Duke Earnest quickly stepped up and bowed again.

“Duke Earnest, what do you want?” Abel lowered his voice.

“Majesty. If emperor Ambrose died, Prince Derek would inherit the throne. If prince Derek died as well, I would inherit the throne!” The words of Duke Earnest had sent a shock to not only Abel but everyone on the spot.

It was a crime to take the throne, but as the enemy of St Ellis’ kingdom, the Holy Continent would not disapprove of Abel’s actions. At most, it would just get a little messy if Abel killed all the royals.

But the meaning behind the words of Duke Earnest was clear. He suggested Abel kill his majesty. This was most frowned upon on the Holy Content. it was enough to make his soul torture for eternity.

Abel never thought about this because he didn’t expect anyone in royals to ask for their soul to be tortured for eternity.

“Duke Earnest, are you sure?” Abel asked, confused.

“Yes, I’m sure. I want my son to live!” Certainty flashed in Duke Earnest’s gaze as he lowered his voice.

“Wizard Dyna, bring the prince here!” Abel turned to Wizard Dyna and said.

Silence fell on the palace once again. Emperor Ambrose gazed at Duke Earnest with a pair of bloodshot eyes. It almost like he was going to bite his face off.

Wizard Dyna was fast. With a teleportation circle prince Derek was brought to the palace after 10 minutes.

“Majesty, the prince is here!” Wizard Dyna threw prince Derek on the ground and bowed.

“Prince Derek, your father just said he wants every royal to die with the kingdom of St Ellis. I agree!’ Abel lowered his voice.

“Abel majesty, I’m a noble. I ask to be a prisoner of war. I don’t want to die!” He yelled frantically. It seems like Derek didn’t get the point, or maybe he was so scared his brain had been damaged.

“Shut up. The royals are not afraid to die. It’s our dignity!’ The emperor said upon seeing his son’s behavior.

“Father, you lived a long life. You have been emperor for so many years. You did everything you wanted. I’m still young, and I lived a hard life even as your heir. I don’t want to die!” The prince was emotional.

The emperor felt like he was almost looking at a stranger, but he was his heir, the kingdom’s future emperor.

Abel was not interested in the drama between this father and son. He gazed at Duke Earnest, and Duke Earnest immediately knew what to do.

“Derek, I’m sorry, but there is only one way to save the royals, and that is to kill emperor Ambrose and you. After I get the throne, I will hand over the kingdom to majesty Abel. Majesty Abel had agreed to not kill the noble once he got the throne!” Duke Earnest lowered his voice again.

Prince Derek was caught off guard by these words. He then turned his gaze back to the emperor and hesitated a little. But soon, his hesitation faded.

He took out a knife and plunged it towards emperor Ambrose’s neck. The emperor grabbed him by the hand and struggled for his life.

All of a sudden. Everyone’s jaws dropped as they looked at the prince crazy rolling on the ground with the emperor.

At the end of the day, the youngster still won in strength. The emperor was no match to him. Since both of them were prestigious royals, they did not practice combat qi.

Prince Derek leaned on top of the emperor and plunged his knife. His eyes were filled with chaos.

“You want me dead. You want me dead!” He yelled as he increased his force.

The emperor tried to move the prince’s hand away from his hand, but more and more blood marks began to open up. He could not get the knife off his neck, and his struggle slowly stopped. His hands let loose with his eyes wide open and spit out his last breath.

“He is dead. I’m now the emperor. I’m now the Emperor!” The prince stood up and yelled at the stiff emperor on the ground.

Duke Earnest was shocked. At first, he just didn’t want his son to die innocently under the fury of Abel, but he did not expect the prince to finish his business for him.

He was thinking of killing prince Derek after killing the emperor. He would then hand the throne to Abel and kill himself with all his sins.

But is that really necessary any more?

“Abel majesty, I’m now the emperor. Don’t kill me. I will give the throne to you!” The prince stepped away from the corpse of his father and said loudly to Abel.

Abel felt like he just watched an exaggerated drama. The ruthlessness of royal power was on full display.

“Wizard Dyna, please go to the Wizard Union in Angstrom City and the kingdom of St Ellis on my behalf and request a kingdom sovereignty transfer. Ask them to come here immediately!” Abel turned to Wizard Dyna again.

“Your Majesty, I can’t request anything from the wizard union in Angstrom City or the kingdom of St Ellis!” He wasn’t too familiar with Abel’s identity.

He knew that Abel was a grandmaster blacksmith, but he didn’t know his power in the wizard union.

“Don’t worry, just say my name, and no wizard will reject me!” Abel smiled and waved his hand.

“Yes, Your majesty!” Wizard Dyna bowed and left.

“Duke Earnest, help the prince rest. I also want all the big nobles in Denan city to join the kingdom transfer ceremony. The ceremony will start in an hour, and I want every big noble to be there! Abel turned to Duke Earnest and lowered his voice again.

Abel was very happy with Duke Earnest. Knowing when to retreat was a good thing. Abel didn’t have much desire for power in the common world. He had only reached this point because he had no choice.

If the kingdom maintained a good relationship with him, no way he would end up standing over the royal palace like this.

“Yes, emperor!” Duke Earnest changed the title and bowed.

“I hope all the lords can help duke Earnest as well!” Abel then turned his gaze to the lords.

“Yes, your majesty!” The lords replied.

The men came and put away the corpses of emperor Ambrose. Then another group of men came and cleaned up the place. At last, the servants came and put up some decorations.

Abel stood in front of the throne, he did not sit down, but no one would bother him.

The knights from the duchy of Carmel had ceased control and locked down Denan city in under half an hour.

All the nobles did not resist. Some intermediate wizards tried to leave, but they were blasted into ash by the Sky Ships.

That was the power of Sky Ships. The city had been taken over by the duchy of Carmel in no time.

Time passed, and carriages carrying nobles arrived in front of the royal palace one by one.

They carefully stepped in and kept their mouth shut when they saw the silhouette next to the throne.

Suddenly a white light flashed next to Abel, and Elite Wizard Dunn appeared with a bow. “Grandmaster Abel, I never thought I would see this day. You are too attached to the power of the common world!”

Abel knew wizard Dunn was just giving him a kind reminder as a predecessor of his wizard line.

“Wizard Dunn, I just want my family to be safe. I have no choice but to do this!” Abel sighed.

If Abel wasn’t so powerful, he would have been killed long ago. But he managed to pull through his struggle one by and to end up where he was.

“Grandmaster Abel, you are now a rank 15 wizard?” Wizard Dunn was shocked again when he noticed Abel’s wizard rank.

Abel no longer needs to hide his scent with a transformation necklace. No one would threaten him with his status. And with Babala as the guardian of his castle, he no longer had to be scared.

Also, with his throne in the duchy of Carmel and soon the kingdom of St Ellis, he would be one of the most prestigious persons in the Holy Continent. Not to even mention his relationship with the dwarfs and the elves. No organization or kingdoms could do anything to him.

“Elite wizard Dunn, I’ve been training hard!” Although Abel brushed it off like it was nothing, it was still very hard for wizard Dunn to accept his words.

Wizard training was the hardest training in the Holy Continent. Abel was only 18 years old, and he had reached rank 15. Was he going to become the first 20-year-old elite wizard in the Holy Continent?

Wizard Dunn was speechless.

Abel was not only a wizard but a Grandmaster Blacksmith and now the emperor of a kingdom. His growth was guaranteed. There was nothing wizard Dunn could say.

“Grandmaster Abel, if you want to be the emperor of this kingdom, the Lightning’s will definitely support you!” Wizard Dunn lowered his voice.

The Lightning Wizard line was only exclusive to the gifted ones. It was the most powerful Wizard line, and Wizard Dunn was the most powerful Wizard of the bunch.

“Grandmaster Abel, sorry I’ve come late!” white light flashed next to Abel again, and Wizard Lorenzo appeared with a bow.

Before even getting the chance to reply, another white light flashed nearby, and Wizard Allenby appeared.

“Sorry, Grandmaster, I’m late as well. I was caught up with something!” Wizard Allenby bowed as well.

“I’m very grateful that you two have shown up. I hope it’s not too much of a bother!” Abel smiled and bowed back.

The Wizard union was the most powerful organization in the Holy Continent, and the transfer of the kingdom would need to go through them. This was the power of the Wizard union. Although they couldn’t get involved with the business of the common world, everything was still under their control.

The Wizard Union in Liante City had shown Abel a lot of respect for sending 2 elite wizards. There were 3 elite Wizards in the Liante City. If they didn’t need an elite Wizard to guard the city at all times, all of them would have come.

“The prestigious emperor Abel, prestigious elite Wizard Dunn, prestigious Wizard Lorenzo, prestigious Wizard Allenby, and everyone who came to attend. I will represent the kingdom of St Ellis as the host of this ceremony!” Duke Earnest said loudly and bowed at the guests below the throne in a new luxury robe.

Most of the big nobles could guess what was about to happen, but their hearts were lifted when they saw Duke Earnest appeared as a host.

It meant war was not about to happen. Instead, it would be a peaceful transfer of sovereignty. This was what all the nobles wanted to see. None of them wanted to put their wealth at risk.

“Today, Emperor Ambrose has gotten sick, and we tried our best. He is now with the spirit. As the heir of the kingdom, Elder prince Derek will automatically become the emperor!” Duke Earnest announced loudly.

His words had sent chatter around the palace. The emperor’s health was always very good. What sickness could possibly take his life? When they saw Abel sitting in front of the throne, the chatter stopped.

Duke Earnest bowed, and Prince Derek walked out in a fur robe with a crown on his head. He was holding a scepter, and the atmosphere in the palace grew heavier with each step he took.
