Abe the Wizard

“Carrie, I will be careful next time!” Abel replied with a smile. Although the reality was not like this, Abel was still thankful that Lady Carrie had gone out of her way to educate him.

Abel then went up to the space left out by the 2 dire wolves in front of the Lawland Squad. Afterward, he nodded to Lady Carrie to confirm that he was ready.

“Move forward!” Yelled Lady Carrie. She then pulled Lady Morrie, who was the youngest of the bunch, to sit behind her. Afterward, a magic staff appeared in her hand.

Lady Morrie did not just sit behind Lady Carrie. Instead, she readied her bow to shoot.

Each of the other 3 ladies also had their bows while maintaining a careful distance from each other and the dire wolves upfront.

There wasn’t even a minute before a few more ravens started to screech in agony. Ravens were very clever. Since a few of them had been locked up in such a small period of time, this intermediate soul beast must be very good at capturing things.

“There!” Said Lady Morrie since she could see the farthest up on a dire wolf. A few Ravens were bound to a tree by some kind of very thin strings.

Those thin stings were transparent, so it was very hard to spot if you didn’t have good eyesight.

Suddenly, something struck upon a spirit wolf and filled its body with a green glow. Since those spirit wolves were very resilient to poisons, it quickly recovered from the green glow. But still, it fell to the ground.

Abel focused his eyes. The thing that struck upon the spirit wolf was the same string as the ones on the ravens. Normally it would be a very hard escape from these strings once it was bound to you, but those spirit wolves were different. They escaped it in a flash.

“Careful, there are many thin strings here!” Abel scanned with his eyes. To his surprise, there were countless small strings scattered on the tree branches, between the trees, and grass.

“Keke!” Suddenly, a sound that sounded like a laugh emerged. Afterward, a giant spider appeared between 2 big trees like it was floating in the sky. A closer look showed that it was actually on a web made up of those small strings.

The most disgusting thing to Abel was that this spider had the face of an old woman, and it seemed like it was smiling at him.

“It’s a ghost-face poisonous tarantula; how can it be here?” Lady Jenny gasped.

“Jenny, you know this thing?” Lady Carrie asked with her eyes fixed on that spider.

“Normally ghost-face poisonous tarantulas only live in the Rocky Mountains, and they will rarely come to the forest. They can spit out venom and poisonous spider webs. The scariest thing about them is that they can make sounds that attack your soul if you get too close to them!” Lady Jenny explained. From this, Abel could see that Lady Jenny was the most knowledgeable out of the bunch.

The ghost-face poisonous tarantula stared back at the decent looking Lawland squad. While it was thinking of attacking, as Lady Carrie said to her squad, “No matter what, it’s still a spider. Let me try attacking it!”

As soon as Lady Carrie spoke, she ignited a ‘hurricane armor’, which could absorb elemental damage. Afterward, her magic staff flashed with a magic pattern, and a cloud made up of ice crystals rushed towards the ghost-face poisonous tarantula.

This spell was called ‘Polar storm’, and it was what separated an elemental druid from a wizard. If a Wizard was placed in this situation, it would definitely use a fire attack. However, all of the elemental Druid’s fire attack could only unleash through the ground, so it had to use an ice spell such as ‘Polar Storm’ to attack.

As the ‘Polar Storm’ was coming its way, the ghost-face poisonous tarantula quickly dashed towards the side of a tree as the ‘Polar Storm’ struck upon its spider web. First, it was frozen into ice, and then it was smashed into pieces by the force of the impact.

However, the ghost-face poisonous tarantula did not stop; it continued to creep around the trees with its 8 long legs. By this point, the old woman’s face on it had turned angry. It shot out a small strong string from its mouth as it jumped on to another tree.

As a part of his defense, Abel used the Jade Tan Do and lightly sliced on the string without even thinking. The ladies behind him began doubting if he even knew how to battle at all. When counteracting these strings like attack, he should use a shield instead, not a small blade.

However, as soon as the string made contact with Abel’s Jade Tan Do, a cloud of black smoke emerged, completely blocking the string as well as turning it into little pieces. Actually, it looked much scarier than that; it was more like the string was melted with poison.

As the chopped up string fell towards the ground, the ghost-face poisonous tarantula made another weird noise as some disgusting green liquid spit out from its mouth. However, the Lawland squad had already shot arrows at this point.

When she saw that Abel was about to counteract the poison with his shield, Lady Jenny yelled, “Careful, that poison can eat up your shield!” But Abel did not listen and proceeded to block with his Pelta Lunata.

The poison had been completely blocked. In a gentle shake, all the poison fell to the ground without a single remain.

As the 4 arrows by the Lawland Squad flew towards the ghost-face poisonous tarantula, it’s mouth and chest simultaneously began to shoot out strings. This string was extremely long and thin. As it’s body twisted in mid-air, the string had formed a cloud-like shield.

As the arrows made contact with the cloud of strings, a blue flashed emerged and the strings had been immediately frozen. The arrows then completely penetrated the strings and directly flew towards the ghost-face poisonous tarantula. “Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong,” However, after the arrows struck upon its body, it just weakly fell to the ground.

“Those are magic bows?” Abel never expected those ancient bows were magic bows as well. He always thought that he was the only one with a magic bow, but now there were 4 of them in this little squad. With Lady Carrie’s status, she too would most likely have one as well.

“Nice defense!” Said Lady Carrie with a pair of cold eyes. The purpose of her attacks was just to evoke that ghost-face poisonous tarantula to strike back. Since her ‘hurricane armor’ could absorb elemental attacks, she was not afraid of its poison. The moment when the ghost-face poisonous tarantula attacks, it could give the other 4 ladies an opportunity to unleash their arrows and kill it in one strike.

However, she was not expecting the ghost-face poisonous tarantula could block the arrows with its strings, so a large amount of the arrow’s force had been absorbed when it finally struck upon it.

“Full attack!” Lady Carrie yelled

As soon as these words landed, 5 spirit wolves disappeared in a flash of white light. They then reappeared in the side of the ghost-face poisonous tarantula. Their sharp claws struck out, leaving 5 open wounds on the ghost-face poisonous tarantula.

It was the first time this ghost-face poisonous tarantula had encountered an enemy who could move in a flash, so it didn’t know how to reach all of a sudden. Green blood gushed out from its 5 long open wounds as it screened in agony. Afterward, a large number of strings shot from its mouth and chest towards the 5 spirit wolves that just attacked it.

Although those spirit wolves had lost their balance in mid-air, they could still move in a flash, which was why they were so sought for. Immediately the 5 spirit wolves disappeared in mid-air, and all the strings landed on the ground.

Almost at the exact same time, another 5 spirit wolves appeared around the ghost-face poisonous tarantula. This time the ghost-face poisonous tarantula was prepared. As the claws of the spirit wolves struck out, it lifted its 8 legs and completely avoided the claws. However, not so fast. 5 more spirit wolves appeared above its head and blocked its way.
