Chapter 1438: Missed?

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Because of this need for souls, Wizard Basham kept sending his subordinates to pick out suitable sea monsters and quietly capture them.

It was a lot of work, even more work than he had done for the Wizard Union for the past thousands of years.

Indeed, sea monsters often fought one another, but there were still many intelligent ones, and they would not give him an easy time if they found out that he was sacrificing sea monsters.

Therefore, he had been forced to be very careful all these years while ruling these five territories.

As the red glow of the Magic Circle subsided and the dead bodies dried up, the place looked like Hell.

But Wizard Basham did not care as he waved his inner world back inside, and a smile emerged on his face. Although he said he was not happy with his growth, he still knew he was breaking through his limit by the day.

“Uhh, another God Rank sea monster wants to bother me!” He turned his head and his voice gained a murderous note.

Since he was ruling five territories as a sea fox, it only made sense that someone would want to pick a fight.

After all, everyone was crazy for resources, and it was easy for a God Rank sea monster to use everything up in their own territories, especially since they didn’t have any ability to produce things like Potions by themselves.

The territories ruled by well-known and powerful sea monsters were often safe, but the weaker ones would be targeted.

A sea fox with five territories was the perfect candidate!

Sea foxes were some of the weakest sea creatures, and they wouldn’t look more powerful even as a God Rank.

It was not what Wizard Basham wanted, but he was only a human with a transformation item. He couldn’t change his body’s size too much, so a sea fox was the only thing he could become here.

Wizard Basham was used to being invaded, but this was still the first time in a decade!

He unleashed his Power of the Will and turned off the Magic Circles around him.

The Legendary crab appeared and bowed. “Master Basham!”

Wizard Basham had turned back into a sea fox and ordered angrily, “Clean up this place, I’ll greet my guest!” The Legendary crab was used to this task, so he merely bowed.

In a Flash, Wizard Basham directly sped up into the sky.

No God Rank sea monster would want to fight near another’s territory. Even as an invader, you wouldn’t want to take over a territory full of Dead Sea monsters.

As Wizard Basham sped through the sky, he suddenly sensed his Communication Circle pulse. But he did not care, as he knew very well who was contacting him. He was not worried about the Wizard Union, they would be just contacting him for trivial things.

He had no time to care. He was having a great time ruling these five territories and the souls he sacrificed were strengthening him by the day.

He was the most powerful wizard in the world, and even if someone stole his spot as the president, he would be able to get it back easily.

He knew the Demon from Beyond would reawaken long ago, so he was not going to let anything distract him. He had to fully focus on what he was doing to get to Rank 45 before the Demon from Beyond woke up!

After all, he was doing a great deal of training, not just gathering souls, as getting more fish in his world was not the only thing he needed to do. He also needed to stimulate them to increase their energy!

If he hadn’t been invaded, he wouldn’t even leave his cave!

The Wizard Union was also not expecting their president to not even check his messages even after receiving them.

Being a wizard in seclusion, the best way to do so was to fully isolate one’s self from the world.

Although Wizard Basham was not really in seclusion, these years he had fully adopted his identity as a sea fox and as a result the fish in his world were even more lively.

The energy a wizard of his Rank gave out could affect his own body and he rarely even thought of himself as a wizard besides the time he was making sacrifices.

———–

The God Rank sea monster who came to pick a fight was an Ice Bear from the far north.

No wonder! He thought he was already famous with his streak of killing God Rank sea monsters for the past few hundreds of years. Only an ignorant beast would pick a fight with him

The Ice Bear knew the rules for picking a fight, so he had waited in the sky above an area where there were no sea monsters and unleashed his energy.

Without saying a single word, the two immediately made their moves.

Wizard Basham wanted to play it safe, so he did not go all out. If he did, this Ice Bear wouldn’t even be able to move a muscle!

The limit of Ice Bears was only Rank 37, and Wizard Basham was Rank 44!

Soon, green clouds began to stream forth from the poison grass in his World. It was his weakest attack, since he could use almost any other elements from his World.

He would naturally stick to his three main wizard elements if he was facing a truly powerful enemy. But for this weak little Ice Bear, poison was enough. After all, sea foxes were skilled in poison and doing so would avoid other God Rank sea monsters becoming suspicious.

He was not arrogant enough to think he was invincible in the deepest ocean, as there were still a few ancient species around.

They might not have been much in the ancient times, but they were still enough to form a threat to Wizard Basham. He knew he would be in trouble if he fully exposed himself.

It might even generate a threat to the central continent. He might not care about the people there, but he couldn’t totally neglect the World Stone Heart and the Wizard Union.

The Ice Bear let out a roar and Ice Spears shot out from his inner world.

At that exact moment, a poison cloud gushed out and filled the entire area.

The Ice Bear was not expecting the range of Wizard Basham’s poison to be that wide, and Wizard Basham’s small body as a sea fox easily dodged his Ice Spears.

An Ice Shield appeared around the Ice Bear, but the poison cloud immediately started corroding it and forcing the Ice Bear to retreat.

By that point he had lost the will to fight. That poison was frightening. In fact, it was the scariest poison the Ice Bear had ever seen.

The Ice Bear flew away, letting out a low roar that signaled his defeat.

Wizard Basham did not chase after the creature. Doing so would be easy, but most God Rank sea monsters had allies through their bloodlines, and he would attract even more God Rank sea monsters if he actually killed this one.

Therefore, after the Wizard Basham saw the Ice Bear retreating, he merely returned to his cave and checked on his fish.

Since he had just fed his World, he was worried that he would disrupt the laws and the fishes might not be able to form as a result.

He quickly went into training and completely forgot about the messages he had just received from his Communication Circle. But by the time he did, he would definitely regret his decision…

Peace returned to the five territories once again and the sea monsters began to celebrate another victory for their ruler. However, they were totally ignorant of the dead bodies swept away underground…

———

Days went by and Abel was not making much progress in the Throne of Destruction. He never showed himself in the central continent, and the other professionals had turned their focus back on the Holy Kingdom.

Little did the Wizard Union know, the wars they were fighting were actually because of Abel!

Since the dwarves were now repairing the Warding Wall, Abel had no worries about sending Thief God Milton to kill even more in the Holy Kingdom.

The Warding Wall and the Howling Castle were being repaired faster than ever, but they had to pay the dwarves handsomely to do it.

The compensation was filling King Yoby with joy. The golden era of the dwarves had arrived!

With the large amounts of resources coming their way, more and more powerful wizard dwarves began to emerge.

With just a bit more, their wizard forces would grow exponentially!

The special thing about dwarves was their lifespan, so it was easier for the talented dwarves to break through levels compared to humans.

If dwarves could reproduce faster, they might even have been able to overthrow the humans.

With all this stress, on top of the operation searching for their treasure throughout the central continent, the Wizard Union had no time to even care about Abel.

Since they had lost their treasure, the Wizard Union no longer cared too much about their Headquarters, and they normally only had one God Rank wizard there on guard.

Their Intelligence Department was also working harder than ever before. They put all their full attention on finding their treasure and they would capture and interrogate anyone who showed even the slightest hint of suspicion.

Although they did not find anything about the World Stone Heart, they did discover a lot of spies from the Holy Kingdom as a result. That should have been celebrated, but Wizard Hardy did not have the mood to do so. As long as their treasure remained missing, he would have no face as the head of the Intelligence Department!
