The dragons took this meeting very seriously. If not, they would not have sent Headmaster Carlos to make sure everything was ok, nor let the dwarves set up a Teleportation Circle before the wizards even arrived.

They were clearly not willing to trust the Wizard Union, so making those sacrifices were necessary.

By the time Abel and Headmaster Eugene arrived at Saint Castle, there were only a few red-cloaked wizards about. The God Rank wizards still had not arrived.

“Headmaster Carlos, thank you!” Abel said after seeing Headmaster Carlos standing by the Teleportation Circle and bowed.

“Headmaster Abel, it’s my regret for not coming last time, considering how cunning the Wizard Union is!” Headmaster Carlos bowed back.

He deliberately raised his voice, and the red-cloaked wizards were not looking good. Yet they had no right to interfere in the discussion between God Ranks.

Abel looked around, and finally let out his five God Rank summons.

This move immediately tensed up the red-cloaked wizards. They had been the first to arrive, making sure Abel didn’t set up any traps.

But of course, there was nothing they could do about this other than keep watch.

What Wizard Hawthorn had done had broken the trust between the dragons and the Wizard Union. Both sides were making very sure now that no one was laying down any traps.

Abel ignored those red-cloaked Wizards and called out the Fire Tooth, but this time the red-cloaked wizards didn’t see anything. The invisible Fire Tooth flew towards the sky to act as a backup after it was called out.

——

Soon afterwards, God Rank energies began to emerge. They were from the nine God Rank wizards from the Wizard Union.

Wizard Smith was the first one to step out, and he Flashed towards the sky. He soon couldn’t help but sigh.

Wizard Hawthorn’s death had caused a scene that would affect matters for at least for the next ten years. It was the last glory of a God Rank.

It was at that moment that Wizard Smith began to think about the gods. Although as a God Rank professional he could probably beat them in a normal fight, unless they were Battle Gods, they would still have a chance to be reborn with their godheads even after being killed.

After all, there were not many who could be truly invincible with power alone!

Wizard Smith was getting carried away, but he quickly regained his mental balance.

It was also at this moment the other God Rank wizards arrived. They did not say a word.

Wizard Hawthorn’s actions had caused a huge buzz, and were a huge embarrassment to the Wizard Union. At the very least they would probably have a hard time negotiating with other forces in the future.

After all, it was a disgusting action to attack after settling an agreement, and Wizard Hawthorn had been representing the entire Wizard Union, despite no one knowing anything about his plans.

Still, no one vocalized anything, considering how powerful the Wizard Union was.

“Hawthorn, rest In peace!” Wizard McPhee whispered.

No God Rank wizard would feel unmoved after seeing the death of another God Rank wizard. This was especially true since Wizard Hawthorns was their comrade and they knew all knew very well that Wizard Hawthorn was more powerful than Wizard Bradford, who had also died.

As they all considered these matters, they saw Abel appearing with his five God Rank Summons.

Abel was clearly more cautious this time, with his God Rank Summons surrounding him with their God Rank Power of the Will!

The nine God Rank wizards soon landed, keeping a distance of twenty meters from Abel.

“Headmaster Abel, I apologize on behalf of the Wizard Union. The actions of Wizard Hawthorn were an embarrassment, but it has already passed, and we should move on!” Wizard Smith proposed in a low voice.

Since Saint Castle was not big enough for them to maintain their distance, no one suggested going inside.

“Wizard Smith, if that is all you wanted to say, why even initiate this meeting?!” Headmaster Eugene complained before Abel could even say anything.

What Wizard Smith said was nonsense, and he didn’t even mention giving Abel any compensation!

Wizard Smith’s face tensed up and he quickly laughed. “Headmaster Eugene, of course not. We have already prepared some compensation. Headmaster Abel, please take it!”

A portal bag was guided towards Abel by his Power of the Will, but Headmaster Eugene immediately scanned it with his own Power of the Will before it could be delivered to Abel.

What Headmaster Eugene had done was deliberately provoking the Wizard Union, but the Wizard Union had to let it slide. If not, they might end up with another failed negotiation!

The front line was in chaos at all moments, and the destruction in the second line was basically like salt on an open wound that made the Wizard Union extremely irritated.

A single city might not mean much to the Wizard Union, but dozens or more of them getting attacked was enough to shake the authority of the Wizard Union.

After all, it was a clear sign of weakness if the Wizard Union couldn’t even protect their own territories!

Cities were the foundation to the Wizard Union, and most of their talented wizards were born in them.

Abel was expecting to receive some compensation, but he was not expecting the Wizard Union to be so direct.

He reached his Power of the Will into the portal bag. It was not a big one, only one cubic meter, but it was filled to the brine with materials for making Relics. This includedLight Wind Iron, White Gold, Ice Crystal Rocks, and Flaming Crystals.

Abel knew from the last God Alliance gathering how valuable each small piece of those materials were, but it made sense that the Wizard Union had some stored up in their inventory.

The Wizard Union couldn’t do anything with those materials, and they were afraid that the gods would grow more powerful if they traded with them. Giving them to Abel could show their sincerity to make up.

Furthermore, the gods Abel had were extremely powerful on their own anyway, so these low ranked holy materials wouldn’t boost their power too much.

Still, Abel was happy about what he had been given. He was expecting the Wizard Union to pay him with some Holy Crystals, but happily they hadn’t. After all, he had almost endless amounts of them anyway.

Abel smiled and put the portal bag away. “Wizard Smith, let’s just put what happened to rest and hope it will never happen again!” Abel said coolly.

Wizard Smith let out a breath of relief and smiled. “Of course, Headmaster Abel. How about we proceed with our agreement to have the dwarves repair the Warding Wall!”

He was the one who had picked those holy materials from their inventory. They were not powerful enough to boost Abel’s power too much, yet they were enough to show the Wizard Union’s desire to settle things.

Since Abel was satisfied, they could proceed with their agreement!

“Wizard Smith, what kind of compensation are you willing to pay for that?” Last time Abel had not been too worried about the details, but this time he was and the discussion proceeded.

——

Meanwhile, in the Wizard Union Headquarters…

Wizard Coleridge sat within a Power of the Will expanded Magic Circle.

As soon as anyone dared to approach their Headquarters, he would notice it immediately.

It was a necessary move ever since Thief God Milton had shown himself to be extremely scary!

—

But little did he know, Thief God Milton was indeed standing outside of the Wizard Union Headquarters, just beyond his range. He had been waiting for a long time, and he had noticed Wizard Coleridge’s Power of the Will scanning the area.

He knew could not hide himself from the detection of a God Rank wizard. If he could, he would not be the mere Thief God that he was.

Thief God Milton lifted his head and looked ahead. Although he could not see anything, he sensed something approaching through his soul chain.

A smile emerged on his face. He knew his time had arrived!

—

Suddenly, an alert came through Wizard Coleridge’s Magic Circle and he almost jumped to his feet.

Even if he didn’t use the Magic Circle, he could sense an incoming powerful wizard!

“Who is it?” This wizard’s energy felt familiar, but he couldn’t identify who it was,

Indeed, it was God Rank Five, but he had changed up his energy a bit thanks to the Moon Goddess’ Transformation Necklace, which Doff had made his own by adding some holy texts to the necklace,

It was not actually a Relic considering Doff’s current skills, yet it did the trick. You could call it a half-Relic since it could only change energy, not appearance.

Thus, Wizard Coleridge was getting a familiar feeling, but he couldn’t actually pinpoint it, considering Wizard Hawthorn was already dead.

After Coleridge confirmed that a God Rank Wizard was heading towards the Wizard Union, he left a message for the nine God Rank wizards currently with Abel and Flashed away.

He wasn’t going to let the unknown God Rank get too close. If a God Rank war broke out, the Wizard Union would take huge damage. The Wizard Union wouldn’t be able to handle things anymore!
