Abe the Wizard

ts reached through Wizard Malon’s body.
The runes flashing on his metallic body disappeared at the same time.
This was when the oak tree started to move on its own.
Its movements were subtle before, but all of a sudden, Abel could feel flood-like energy that was swarmed into the oak tree’s body.
He could tell that it was Wizard Malon’s wizard energy.
This was Wizard Malon’s last line of defense, and he would have to break through here if he was really ready to make any attacks.

After absorbing this energy, the oak tree’s trunk started growing thicker at a visible speed to the eyes.
Abel’s hand never left the trunk.
He could feel Wizard Malon’s energy as it was being transferred into something that the oak tree could suburb and feed to the oak tree.
As the oak tree grew, it sucked the wizard energy on Wizard Malon like some nutrition source.
This was nothing short of a miracle, perhaps, from the oak tree’s perspective.
This was probably the first time that any plant could suck whatever amount of energy from a law-defying wizard that couldn’t move at all.

The day grew dark.
Abel didn’t leave the oak tree.
He wanted to know what the end was for Wizard Malon.
There was just no way for him to feel at ease if he didn’t do this.
The amount of energy inside Wizard Malon was just too plentiful for him to comprehend.
He waited as the energy inside of Wizard Malon was drained away at a quite stable rate.
Eventually, he realized that the golden energy inside of his “crystal angel statue” became empty from night to the next dawn.

Luckily for him, Wizard Malon had no way of resisting now.
Most of his life force had been drained.
He only had enough to keep him breathing.
Right now, his entire body was being wrapped around by tree roots which had smaller tendrils containing enough power of the rule for him not to be able to move even his fingers.
Right now, the only thing he could move was his mouth.

Wizard Malon spoke powerlessly, “Please, Wizard… Abel… spare me, I, I can swear my… loyalty to you.”

The longer one lived, the more afraid one would be of dying.
This was exactly the kind of person Wizard Malon was.
It was clearly evident from how he tried to prolong his life by merging himself with the puppet.

Abel spoke in a taunting voice, “So you still think you can live?”

Abel didn’t think that he could let Wizard Malon live.
No, he already knew about the dark world, one of the biggest secrets that no one else had discovered.
Abel was lucky that he didn’t lose anything this time.
Otherwise, he’s going to have to face a lot of pressure from having to risk having everything taken away from him.

Wizard Malon pleaded regardless, “I’m wel-wealthy, Wizard Abel! If you spare me… I, I can give you everything!”

Instead of listening to any more words coming out of Wizard Malon’s mouth, he started searching with his power of the Will and found four portal bags.
Wizard Malon had no way of protecting his secrets now.
He had lost the protection of his spell runes.

Abel found even more secrets when he looked into the four portal bags.
For instance, there was just Wizard Malon’s brain kept inside the puppet’s body, whereas other body parts were joined together with all sorts of strange ingredients.
No wonder the “steel” rune sword never identified him as a living creature.
Wizard Malon was more than a pile of metals than he was any living thing.
Since the brain was a complex part that contained the power of the Will and the wizard’s crystal body, anything connected to the power of a wizard became the only part that was still intact.

Abel became more perplexed the more he looked.
He didn’t think that living longer would mean much if it meant living inside a body like this.

Wizard Malon tried to feed off Abel’s curiosity, “You see my bodily structure, Wizard Abel? If you spare me, I am willing to teach you all about it.”

Abel sneered at the proposal, “You think I need this?”

Instead of responding to any more of Wizard Malon’s deceitful offers, Abel decided to ignore him and went on with the original plan.
Nothing was more important than his own secrets at this point, and playing around with law-defying wizards was certainly not in his own interests.
He didn’t want to have to risk being killed as soon as Wizard Malon made a recovery.

Abel grabbed the portal bags as he tried to break through them with his power of Will.
It was much stronger than what he first anticipated, so nothing really happened when he tried the first time.
He tried harder a second time, but it was also useless.

Murderous intent started to rise in his mind, “Maybe this will open after I kill him.”

Wizard Malon halted Abel to stop, “Stop, stop! Wizard Abel! Just put the bag next to my head! I can open it for you!”

Abel replied coldly.
There was no telling what sort of items were here, and he was certainly not going to give Wizard Malon any chance to make a slip.
He still had to be very cautious here, in any case.
There was no ounce of energy inside the world stone fragment, and the energy used to supply the crystal angel statue was all used.
If Wizard Malon was free, he’s not going to have any more ways to retaliate.

Abel chuckled, “Enjoy your last minutes, Wizard Malon.
I’m not in a rush.
The bags will open when you are dead.”

Wizard Malon screamed maniacally, “I’ll curse you in hell, Wizard Abel!”

An interesting statement to make.
Actually, Abel became confused after hearing that.
This was the dark world that they were in.
There was no real telling where Wizard Malon’s spirit would go after he was dead.
There was even the chance of him becoming a hell creature, all things considered.
