Abe the Wizard

a lot of time.
I’m starting to get worried.”

Wizard Hal turned to Abel instead, “The flash spirit flower will blossom for about eight to ten minutes, Master Bennett, and that is why we of the light clan invited seven guests in total.
Each guest will get about a minute in total to interact with the flower, and once the time went past eight minutes, it will be up to the internal members of the lightning clan to use up the remaining time.”

Wizard Hiram suddenly spoke, “I’ll leave it to you this time, grandpa.
Use the flower this time.”

Wizard Karmens was getting emotional, “Shut your mouth! I’m a law-defying wizard.
I can turn myself into a mechanical puppet even if I don’t have much time left.
You are an advanced wizard, Hiram! You need all the seconds you can get!”

Abel turned to look at Wizard Karmens.
He never heard what the flash spirit flower was capable of doing to advanced wizards.
If the flower could actually do something, he didn’t think that the lightning clan would disclose any information about it.

Wizard Hal suddenly spoke loudly, “Time’s up, everyone! Please, come along with me.”

Following that, the eight lightning clan advanced wizards activated “instantaneous movement” spells simultaneously.
Everyone present was being teleported to the site where the flowers were.
No one did anything to protect themselves because the lightning clan wizards were the ones that were keeping them safe.
And they didn’t have to worry that anything would happen to the lightning clan wizard, either.
It was tough to kill any lightning wizards here if they were not completely still.
Wizards were good at surviving attacks.
It was the reason that they owned the entire central continent, to begin with.
It was also, by the way, how they managed to own the Land of Lightning Fall.
They had the ability to keep teleporting to dodge the lightning attacks around here.

Right now, Abel was being brought by eight lightning advanced wizards to move continuously between the dark stones.
Lightning continued to drop from the sky.
It was scary, as safe as it actually was.
Eventually, the group stopped at a dark plant in front of them, which, although it looked as though it was burnt to charcoal black, was actually alive and well.

Wizard Hal pointed towards the plant, “That! That’s the flash spirit flower!”

As difficult as it was to pinpoint the blossoming stage of the flash spirit flower, it’d be very hard to locate and let alone figure out when to use it.
In fact, the vast majority of people had never seen a flash spirit flower in their life.
They spent most of their time in shutdown training, so this was really a spectacular experience for them.
Abel, too, of course.
He was really keen on seeing the most beautiful flower across the entire central flower.

Wizard Hal spoke quietly, “Everyone! Allow me to announce the names.
I’ll wait for everyone to take orders.”

As he did that, Wizard Hiram was put at the very back and Abel at the very front.
No one objected to that.
The order had nothing to do with hierarchy, and it wasn’t like the order affected the amount of influence the flash spirit flower was going to have on them.
Wizard Karmens was an exception.
He was worried that the last one watching would not get enough time, but he also realized that there were just seven people here.
There was enough time, even if the flower didn’t blossom for too long this time.

Wizard Hal smiled and spoke to Abel, “You’ve done the preparation, Master Bennett! Here, I’ll let Wizard Field send you over!”

Abel could feel the life force that was erupting out of the flash spirit flower like a volcano.
He could also see the slim flower petal that was growing out.
Wizard Field didn’t place his hand on Abel this time.
Instead, he wrapped his power of the Will around Abel, and once they were about five meters about, he activated the “instantaneous movement” and brought him next to the flower.
He himself was about five meters away from the flower.
He was leaving all the benefits to Abel.
One minute was the amount of time that the lightning clan discovered to be optimal for absorbing the flower essence.
Too long, and it would be a waste of resources.
Too short, and there wouldn’t be the desired effect.

Meanwhile, Abel was standing closest to the flash spirit flower.
When the flower petal opened, a strong, strange fragrance entered his nose.
A white, dim light was what emitted to his eyes.
A life qi transpired his soul.
He could see the entire life of the flower in a span of a few seconds.
It went from a dark seed that slowly grew as it continuously absorbed the lightning energy from the thin cracks of stones.
It took about five centuries for it to develop to maturity.
The flower grew slowly.
Its growth was fueled by lightning, so naturally, it would possess the essence of lightning so that when they combined, it created this special energy that was transferred from the flower’s smell.

Abel didn’t know how long his episode lasted.
As he absorbed the energy, he could feel a slight change to his body which actually made him lose the sense of time for a bit.
He was just starting to accept the energy of the coexisting life tree.
Meanwhile, his lifespan was just being reset.
He was very young in contrast to the very long life ahead of him, however, so it didn’t really matter if the flash spirit flower was going to add a new year to his life or not.
He wasn’t going to turn down the offer when it’s there, but the reason he came here was really, well, it was because Wizard Hal was looking for him.

Anyways, after a very precise one minute, Wizard Field brought Abel back to the eight lightning clan wizards with his “instantaneous movement” to where the barrier was set up.
