Abe the Wizard

"Bortons, finish it in 5 minutes! You owe Bernie and me!" Abel shouted as he drove Black Wind towards the valley.     

"Hurry up everyone!" The Borton's leader said. Then, he turned to Abel," You have to come back, Abel!"     

Abel drove in the valley and saw that the new ape looked much bigger than the one trapped in the circle.     

When the ape saw Abel, it waved his hand and threw a fireball. The ape had good movement speed, but so did Black Wind. It had moved into bushes since it saw a fireball coming its way.     

"Well done, Black Wind!" Since Black Wind drank the soul enhancing potion, it had gotten smarter. This was a relief for Abel, who used to focus on both movements and issuing a spell.     

The ape hesitated; it could rescue its companion or continue chasing its prey.     

As it was thinking, an "ice bolt" came and froze its left leg.     

But this spell just made the ape shake its leg. It was provoked, shouting and chasing after Abel.     

In the circle, Bernie heard the ape's roar. He shouted, "Abel's distracted the ape! Hurry up!"     

The Borton's leader slapped his chest and spat out blood. He burned some of his life as an exchange for more power with the knight's technique. The combat qi whip looked stronger.     

The rest of the Borton brothers followed.      

The Golden Knight didn't have this technique, but he whistled and his mount-golden eagle-came. He jumped on it and covered it with combat qi. He let his combat qi merge into with the golden eagle's and made it control golden lighting to attack the ape. This power was comparable to that of an official soul beast.     

While the dwarves were trying their best to kill the ape, Abel was trying his best to escape from the ape. Although Black Wind was fast, the ape was a speed-type soul beast.     

Abel knew his attack wouldn't make a difference. He kept throwing ice rune signs as an attempt to slow down the ape move slowly, even if it just spent 2 seconds for it to shake its leg.     

Abel thought he could do this until Borton brothers finished and came to help him. But then, a blue wave appeared from the ape after him. With the ape at its center, the wave froze everything it passed.     

Black Wind and Abel both felt their body get heavier, significantly influencing their speed.     

As Black Wind slowed down, the ice fire ape created a big fireball and pushed it over its head. The ape's cold and red eyes glared at Black Wind and Abel. Then the ape threw the ball to them.     

Abel could feel its heat. Just as he thought they would die, their figures began to fade. A hundred miles away, Black Wind had used the soul chain to connect with White Cloud and Lorraine. They were watching them from above.     

"Boom!" The fireball created a big pit with smog. The ape looked for Abel's body in that big pit, but there seemed to be nothing except soil and stones. The ape felt strange. While it was wondering where its prey was, its legs got hurt and was hit by several ice rune signs.     

The ape looked at Black Wind, who was a hundred miles away, kicked the ice off of its legs, roared, and ran towards them.     

Whatever it went through, trees or boulders, became its weapons. The big trees were broken and it threw them to Black Wind. The boulders as well. But Black Wind moved and avoided all of them.      

Now Black Wind had been smarter, it tried to keep the distance to the ape and moved into the forest to slow its speed. The ape's ice skill was crazy. It was just like Rib Bone no. 1's – Abel couldn't get close.     

But they wouldn't last long. The ape was very fast, plus it was angry now. The distance between them was gradually closing. Abel thought, I could only help you so far, Bernie. Good luck friend.     

"Black Wind, move in a flash!" Abel shouted, Black Wind and Abel disappeared again. This time the ape had searched everywhere but didn't find them. It angrily destroyed every tree it could see.     

After venting, the ape thought of its companion and roared towards the entrance of the valley. It didn't notice that just above its head, Abel was there, taking out soul potions and waving it in front of Black Wind.     

Lorraine smiled at Black Wind; she was surprised it could avoid the fireballs from the ape easily now.     

After rewarding Black Wind a soul potion, Abel didn't go back to the entrance; he had tried his best to help them. Now he decided to go to the nest of fire ice apes to find out why there were two apes.     

He used the soul chain to tell White Cloud, and Abel flew deeper into the valley. The valley was huge, but for White Cloud, it only took spent several minutes.     

"Lorraine, stay here!"Abel said.     

Knowing that she wouldn't be able to help, Lorraine nodded.     

"Let's go, Black Wind!" Abel jumped at the back of it and said.
