Abe the Wizard

Both the Oak’s soul and Abel’s Druid soul were bound together, like a mother with her child. That was because they had a similar origin. After, Abel injected a large amount of his Druid soul’s power of the will into the center of the Oak Tree during its cultivation. The remaining power of will had formed a soul with this life-shifting Oak Tree

The Oak Tree’s soul and Abel’s Druid soul sped up to the top of the tree. It was like a mother guiding her child. When Abel’s Druid soul sensed that it had reached the top, everything expanded. It was like everything 70 meters around him was in his control.

The feeling was indescribable. This area was like a completely different dimension. It was almost as though he was being looked after by a spirit. Although it was not a big area, it was a place he felt like he was truly himself.

It was at this moment, he realized why he couldn’t level up. While he tried to sense his body under the Oak Tree–even though he was surrounded in this separate dimension–he began sensing an instinctive hatred towards his body.

Abel was certain of this. It was just like the hatred and frustration he had when something happened beyond his control. Still, the body still belonged to him, so his hatred had been suppressed to the max.

Even the owner of this little world had loathed at him, so of course, the spirits outside in the Dark World loathed him too. This hatred suppressed him, irritated him, and made him lose focus on training, and kept him from entering a state where he was able to level up.

It was like a huge error in the system. Abel’s power of the will and strength was way too powerful. The potential he could unleash once he leveled up could hugely impact this system, so the world had been suppressing him.

Since the owner of this little world was contracted with him, they were like family, which is why it tried to minimize his hatred and made him feel relieved.

If Abel hadn’t become one with the Oak Tree as a soul speaker, maybe he would be stuck as a novice Wizard for his entire life without ever knowing he had been suppressed by both the Dark World and the Holy Continent.

Abel carefully used his Druid soul to adjust this world’s view of him. The Oak Tree’s soul also sensed this, so it also tried to help. Slowly this little world began to accept Abel’s presence.

It was at this moment, Abel’s expanded Druid soul felt his body slowly begin to float up in mid-air, and a strange scent emerged from it.

It was the scent of leveling up; Abel was sure of that. He sensed this every time before he leveled up in the past.

At that moment, Abel was only half-conscious. The other half of his consciousness had fully combined with the oak tree after using the soul speaker’s ability. Could there be a problem leveling up like this? He didn’t know, so he had to get back to his body as soon as possible.

Up to this point, he quickly began to retract his consciousness. His consciousness began to rush away like water from the tree branch, then to the tree heart. Soon, it was back in his own body. The soul speaker state had ended, and he was back at his main soul from his Druid soul.

Abel’s novice Wizard pattern was bigger than any other novice wizard in this world. A Wizard pattern was where wizards store their mana, so the size depended on how much mana a wizard had.

The process of becoming an official wizard was to turn this nonphysical wizard pattern into an actual three-dimensional wizard core. This required all 5 levels of the novice wizard pattern to be dissected, detached, all while maintaining balance. This was why the 5 levels of novice wizard patterns could not be dissected individually. This would cause chaos in mind and provoke a break in the system.

Therefore, a novice wizard needed to have a deep understanding of their wizard pattern and their body. This was a rare opportunity, and the consequences would be quite serious if they made a mistake.

If they failed, they would need to spend a large number of resources. It was quite normal to take more than ten years for a full recovery.

Abel began to dissect the 5 novice wizard patterns according to the wizard book his teacher Wizard Morton had given him. Although this process was extremely high risk for other novice wizards trying to level up, it was quite easy for Abel.

His power of the will was divided into 5 parts in his mind. Each of them had a different novice wizard pattern and started to dissect and detach it in unison. Once a little bit of the pattern was detached, it was sucked into the center.

Normally other novice wizards would carefully calculate the balance of each pattern. Afterward, they would detach a little bit of the first pattern, then move on to the second one, and so on until all of them had been detached. This required massive calculations, and it was extremely easy to make mistakes. None could do it as effortlessly as Abel.

As more and more novice wizard patterns had been detached, the point began to glow. Then, the cons of having too much power of the will began to surface. When Abel took a look at the energy concentrated by his wizard patterns in the center, he realized it was already many times more powerful than other rank 5 wizards. It was beginning to shake in instability, but he still had a large part of the pattern he hadn’t dissected and detached.

Abel never experienced this before, and the book didn’t say any about this either, so he didn’t know what would happen next. He could only continue what he was doing.

Since Abel was inside the little world created by the Oak Tree, the Oak Tree could sense something wrong with its owner. Suddenly, some green energy from the Oak Tree flew inside Abel’s body. This energy had a strong calming effect, and soon that shaking center calmed down again.

Soon, all 5 of the novice wizard patterns had been detached into the center. The center point’s white glow had become almost blinding, and the Oak Tree’s green energy could no longer contain the explosion.

Abel’s body was still floating in mid-air, and he could sense a scary heatwave coming from that vague white center point in his mind. Originally this could only be felt through the power of the will and the soul, but since this center point had become more and more physical, even his body could feel the heat.

Although his body was trying it’s best to withstand it, his skin had turned fully red. It almost looked like his whole body was burning. If he failed to withstand it, all the energy in that center point would be unleashed at once.

By this point, Abel’s main soul had already been knocked out by the immense heatwave, so his druid soul had automatically taken control of Abel’s body after it sensed his life being threatened. The powerful fake commander soul had also been taken over by that ultra logical machine-like druid soul.

What came next was totally unexpected. These 2 souls worked together so well, first, the druid soul tracked down the source of the threat, and the fake commander soul would try to find a solution.
