Wizard Smith immediately knew something was wrong when he received the reply from the gods.

According to the Moon Goddess, the God of Wealth, and the Earth Goddess, they would be coming to the Warding Wall with the Dragons.

As for the Water Goddess and the God of Death, they still had not replied. They just couldn’t decide between the Wizard Union and Abel. Both sides were extremely powerful.

But of course, that was because they didn’t know how powerful Abel actually was.

——

By the time Wizard Smith started to contact the Dragons, Abel had already arrived at Dragon Island.

As soon as he appeared, all four God Rank Dragons flew towards him.

After all, Abel was a God Rank and had appeared out of nowhere, while the dragons were no longer under Dragon Island’s protection.

But they soon sensed Abel’s familiar energy and a smile appeared on their faces.

“Haha! Headmaster Abel, I thought you were going to be in seclusion for hundreds of years!” Headmaster Eugene called out. The other three dragons nodded excitedly.

Abel felt like he was right at home. The dragons really were the purest.

He didn’t know about the Dragon God, but he had never seen a dragon with ill intent

“Headmaster Eugene, Headmaster Carlos, Headmaster Alma, Headmaster Mumford!” Abel bowed flamboyantly to them. “How do I have any time for seclusion when the Demon from Beyond is on the brink of resurrection?!”

“Headmaster Abel, just let us old bastards take care of it, you are the future of us dragons!” Headmaster Carlos shook his head.

The other three dragons nodded. Abel was very young, yet he had so many God Rank Summons. As long as Abel didn’t die, the future of the dragons would be extremely bright.

They did not need to protect the Dragon God, and the Dragon God would not concern himself with the dragons unless something huge happened.

This had been the case for the past thousands of years. They didn’t even know where the Dragon God was, so Abel was the most important thing to them right now.

“I’m here today to discuss something with you all!” Abel continued cheerfully.

As for his fighting with the Demon from Beyond, nothing could change his mind. He had done way too much in the Holy Kingdom. The Demon from Beyond would find him, even if he didn’t go.

“What is it?” Headmaster Eugene asked curiously, but as soon as he spoke, a frown appeared on his face.

“Headmaster Abel, let’s head to the Dragon Temple first!” he waved Abel along

Abel didn’t know what was happening, but he followed.

——

It has been two months since he visited the ocean, but a lot has changed.

The dragon caves had been lifted up by special stone racks that were built up from the bottom of the ocean.

The dens of their Half-god dragons were set much higher. Abel soon realized how they could build something like this so quickly.

On the far side there were still dwarves working, carrying stones and their construction puppets into the ocean.

“All thanks to the dwarves!” Headmaster Eugene smiled as he gazed at the dwarves.

“I’ve promised not to interfere with them, but still, thank you for taking care of them!” Abel smiled back.

Building things was in the dwarves’ nature, no matter if it was on land or above the ocean. If Abel had not stood up for them, they would still be under the Wizard Union’s control.

“Headmaster Eugene, the dwarves are a part of us. No need to thank them. Headmaster Abel, you also shouldn’t thank us!” Headmaster Carlos complained.

“Haha, you are right!” Abel laughed and everyone nodded along.

——

Soon, they arrived at the Dragon Temple and went silent.

Headmaster Eugene stepped towards the Communication Circle, while the other three stayed back.

They didn’t know what was happening, but it had to be something to do with the Wizard Union.

Indeed, it was to do with the Warding Wall!

Headmaster Eugene stepped back after a while and said grimly, “The Wizard Union is requesting we send some Half-god and God Rank dragons to the Warding Wall!”

“Headmaster Eugene, I still need some time for training, but it won’t take long!” Abel spoke up.

“Headmaster Abel, you shouldn’t go at all. I agreed with what Headmaster Carlos said!” Headmaster Eugene shook his head.

“Headmaster Abel, you have never had any experience with huge battles. The Demon from Beyond is no joke, so let’s just leave it to us!” Headmaster Carlos added.

“I have my plans, I just need to level up a bit more!” Abel stated firmly.

“Right, also Wizard Smith sounded a little strange. He said we should arrive with the three gods as soon as possible!” Headmaster Eugene continued.

His gaze then turned towards Abel, since he was the closest with the gods.

“Headmaster Eugene, I’ll make an announcement now. The Moon Goddess, the God of Wealth, and the Earth Goddess are now my vassal gods. So I hope you can all look after them in the following battles!” Abel smiled.

“Haha! I totally did not see that coming!” The dragons started to laugh again.

The Wizard Union had always been the most powerful force on land, while the Dragons ruled the ocean.

However, Abel had changed all of that. First he gained control of the Barbarians, then the tauren, and then the dwarves. Now Abel was ruling the elves via the Moon Goddess as well. Those were all huge losses to the Wizard Union, leaving humans as the only species ruled by the Wizard Union.

“You can count on us for the three gods’ safety!” Headmaster Carlos added with a laugh as well.

The Wizard Union would always give face to the dragons, so they wouldn’t treat the gods too badly. They might not even have the power to order them to do anything too risky.

This was why the gods needed to join the dragons, else they might not make it back alive!

“Headmaster Abel, I think the Dragon God is on his way. I will notice you as soon as he returns!” Headmaster Eugene reminded him.

“Thank you!” Abel replied.

He was the only Dragon Headmaster who had never met the Dragon God, but hearing the way Headmaster Eugene talked about the Dragon God, he shouldn’t be anyone hard to deal with.

—

Afterwards, Abel did not loiter around, and directly returned to the Golden Castle.

The first thing he did was notify his vassal gods to go to the dragons.

As for the God of Death and the Water Goddess, he did not have time to care. He didn’t have much time left, as he had to focus on his battle with Baal.

After all, it was their loss!

———

Back in the Dark World’s Rogue Encampment…

Abel laid out a huge stack of Runes in front of himself.

They had all been gathered from the Hell Furnace, and he was about to make the most powerful Rune Word Gear he could.

First, a suit of Armor. Although it looked like he had a lot of Runes, they was only enough to make two sets.

One set for himself, and one for his Angel avatar. Since he was already Rank 36, he wasn’t much weaker than his God Rank Summons.

As for his avatar, it was more powerful than any knight Summon he had, and might be his only hope of winning against Baal.

After all, his Summons could only fight on instinct.

The past four battles taught him one thing: only a being with a World Stone had the power to fight a demon!

In this upcoming battle, Abel was planning to bet on his angel avatar making the most attacks, while his main body cast spells from the side.

His Summons would only strike when the time was right.

Even Black Wind was not suitable to go against Baal, but his avatar needed to be able to move in a Flash during the most dangerous situations.

There was only one suitable Rune Word Armor for the angel avatar: the Enigma Set, the best armor for non-wizard professions!

It could not only increase every skill by two Ranks and add 700 points of defense, it could also Flash-move!

This meant the Angel avatar would be able to hit and run like a wizard, but the Enigma Armor was so incredibly hard to make that Abel could only make a single set for his Angel avatar.

He took out an armor with three sockets he had prepared, and directly activated his World Stone Skills.

Afterwards, he guided the Jah, Ith, and Ber Runes into the sockets. The Jah and Ith runes were top rank Runes, so he didn’t dare make any mistakes.

Soon, a dark gold glow sparked and settled into the armor.

He knew there shouldn’t be a problem as long as he didn’t mess up their order, but he was still a bit anxious because he would only have an opportunity like this every few years.

Afterwards, he was going to make the Chain of Honor armor for himself.

It could increase every Skill by two ranks and do +200 damage to demons, which would be useful on Baal.

Most of all, he had his eyes on the extra 65% increase in all Resistances!

This would give his original body the best defense. After all, he was not an angel born to fight demons!
