The drum sound had been going off for a while, but the orcs still had not appeared. Where were they waiting for?

The orc battle drum sound continued. Perhaps the orcs knew that their battle drum needed a bit of time to come to full effect, so they did not appear immediately.

Although he had his attention focused on the drum sound while helping everyone clear their curse, he kept analyzing the direction and distance the drum sound was coming from.

Those orc battle drum sounds had a strange, mysterious effect that made its location very hard to predict.

However, to Abel, this just meant a little extra time. Soon, he had tracked down the location of the orcs. The drum sound was around 5 miles from them.

He took out his telescope from his portal bag and looked towards that direction.

Even though the sky was dark, he could clearly see a group of orcs gathering on a little hill through the crystal lenses. A team of them were guarding a giant battle drum, and 2 especially burly ones were banging on it with all their might.

“Head Commander Edi, I’ll go destroy the drum!” Abel turned and said.

“K3516, you know the location?” Head Commander Edi knew how important it was to destroy the battle drum, but he also knew it was very hard to track it down–especially under a dark sky like this.

He then gazed at Abel’s telescope. It seemed like Abel had only gotten his confidence after looking at that thing.

“Have a look yourself!” Said Abel as he handed the telescope to head commander Edi.

Head Commander Edi followed Abel’s instructions and saw the orcs and their drum on a hill through the lenses.

“This thing is amazing! This way, our patrols don’t even need to approach our enemy, and we can spot them in a battle. This can save a lot of risks!” Head Commander Edi complimented.

As a knight guarding the Miracle Wall, the first thing he thought about was how useful this telescope could be. It didn’t matter if they failed this mission or battle. He could gain those war glory back anyway.

However, not the telescope. It had the potential to completely change their battle tactic, and it would be extremely useful for a commander.

“Head commander Edi, I can provide the formula for how to make these things to the Miracle City after the mission finishes!” Abel was not expecting Head Commander Edi to care about a telescope so much. If the sky wasn’t so dark, Abel wouldn’t even remember he had a telescope.

The range of his sight by that point was far superior to any normal humans. In bright daylight, his long range sight was just a little weaker than a telescope, so a telescope was basically useless to him.

“I thank you on behalf of Miracle City. I didn’t expect you to be an alchemist as well!” Said Head commander Edi in excitement.

No one on the spot knew how a telescope works, so the first that came to mind was that it was an alchemy object. Well, it was not completely wrong. This world also had microscopes, but they were all made by alchemists.

Head commander Edi’s unintentional comment was also spot on. Abel really was an alchemist, but he was the one that made the potions.

“I am a member of the Miracle City as well. You can keep the telescope as a gift. I’ll get going now. Ill give that orc battle drum a good beating!” Said Abel waving his hand.

“Mr. Wizard k3516, let me go with you!” Head Commander Bodley added.

“No need, my mount is faster. It will save us a lot of time!” Abel said it so easily like he wouldn’t need any time to kill the orcs.

This vast amount of confidence boosted everyone’s energy at an instant. Especially after just being dragged down by the curse.

Abel disconnected his power of the will with everyone and dashed out on his mount wolf king. He speeded straight towards that hill.

After a few hundred meters, an idea suddenly felt his heart dropped. Immediately, a cape appeared on him. It was the invincible cape he got from the old assassin.

Abel put on the hood of the invincible cape. It’s head loop automation tightened on his head. Although the cape did not come into effect as he was moving, what Abel really wanted was the head loop.

His power of the will immediately increase from 240 points to 480 points. This was the power of the head loop. Now his power of the will had the range of 480 meters as opposed to 240 meters.

There were 2 types of wizard spells. One was to ignite the spell through the power of the will. Due to a wizard’s limited power of the will, this method could not be used to attack faraway objects. But the benefit was clear; it could maximize accuracy, making your enemy very hard to escape.

The other type of spell was like shooting an arrow. Just cast the spell, and let it fly on its own. You could only control the direction you wanted the spell to land, but its range was much further. Normally low ranking spells were extremely slow, so it really depended on luck if a spell could land properly.

Abel’s intuition had just warned him, the orcs on that hill might actually have the ability to threaten him.

He had been practicing his intuition ever since he was an elite knight. Also, by being in a place full of threats such as the Dark World, his intuition had gotten some very good training.

He could understand the level of danger coming from his intuition. This was why he had put on the invincible cape to strengthen his power of the will.

480 meters was even further than the range of his Riphook. This way, he could have a better understanding of the threat so he could come up with a better response.

5 miles was like nothing on a mount wolf king. Soon Abel saw 2 bearmans holding giant shields. They did not have any weapons and seemed like they were trained specifically for defense.

There were 4 head wolf rider captains at the back. They knew this at first sight because their combat qi was sparkling in a unique glow.

There were also 4 black cloaked orc priests behind them. Although Abel couldn’t see their faces, he knew their identity just by looking at their clothes.

There was a massive battle drum made out of white bones at the very back. 2 muscular wolf riders without mounts were banging on it with 2 drumsticks made out of bones.

This was a little team of 10, but their fighting power should not be underestimated just by looking at the ones who were guarding the drum. At least Abel’s intuition would agree.

At that moment, the orcs saw Abel. Their mission was to protect the battle drum, so they were caught off guard a little when they saw a single man charging towards them. If they knew where the battle drum was, there was no way the human would just send out a single wizard.

However, they still did not disregard him. A head wolf rider captain took out a piccolo made out of bone and blew on it. An ear piercing sound scattered through the night.

“Not good, they are summoning more orcs!” Abel thought to himself as he took out the Leaf magic staff. By the time he reached 480 meters, a fireball had flown out.

If he didn’t have this mysterious head loop, there was no way his fireball could shoot this far.

Normally most wizards would only cast a spell within their power of the will range unless the spell itself could break the range of their power of the will.

However, since most spells Abel could do were beyond the range of his power of the will, he had to increase his power of the will as well. Just like the fireball that just flew out.

Normally a fireball could only fly for 200 meters. Abel’s normal power of the will was 240 meters, which meant his fireball could fly for 240 meters at most.
