Abel visited Wizard Morton before leaving Hari Castle for Miracle City and entrusted him with resources and responsibilities for the territory’s wizards. The chapter ended with Wizard Morton asking how to handle applications from wizards who wanted to build Magic Towers inside the Hexagram Magic Array.

• Abel found that the World Stone Fragment had retained its computational abilities, while its World Power abilities were gone and the crack between his eyes had disappeared.

He asked Wizard Morton to inspect the fields and consider having Wizard Apprentices help manage them.

• Abel told Wizard Morton that new Magic Towers could be built on the Hexagram Magic Array’s outermost nodes with the agreement of its resident wizards.
• Steward Linsey reported that crops watered with Abel’s special water were growing rapidly and could mature within ten days, while the untreated crop plot appeared unlikely to survive.

• Wizard Morton agreed to assign Wizard Apprentices to manage the barren land and oversee the Low-level Wizards, while Abel made wizard resources available through Batorri.
• Abel entered the Dark World with Feiyan and used the World Stone Fragment’s map to fly east toward Lut Gholein.
• Abel discovered a vast, straight cut separating Rogue Encampment from the eastern desert and sensed powerful Aura lingering above it.
• Abel found that the World Stone Fragment’s power returned within Rogue Encampment but faded beyond its boundary, so he turned Feiyan back and then flew east again.
• As Feiyan crossed the cut, its speed slowed under the Aura’s pressure, and Abel linked souls with Feiyan to continue onward.
• The cut’s force invaded Abel’s soul, leaving him trembling as he struggled to endure half its impact.

Abel crossed the enormous fissure with Feiyan and absorbed its aura, gaining lightning-based Attribute Fighting Spirit and becoming a true Grand Knight Commander. He reached the abandoned city of Lut Gholein and activated its Teleportation Waypoint, confirming it connected to Rogue Encampment.

• The fissure's aura entered Abel's mind, where the World Stone Fragment weakened it and turned it into energy that helped his fighting spirit merge with the lightning element.

• Abel found that a damaged merchant ship and the market held nothing useful, though he discovered the city’s well.
• Abel explored the Imperial Palace and found its rooms and artworks preserved, deciding to take the artworks to Hari Castle for his Magic Tower.

Abel settled into the tavern and chose Lut Gholein’s sewers as his first destination, where he tested his strength against fire-resistant Burning Death Archers. The battle exposed the dangers of the city’s Nightmare-level Hell Creatures and left him planning to improve the Ghost Guardian Knights’ equipment.

• Abel returned to the tavern, stocked it with wine and new bedding, and chose the sewers over the Stony Field and the Mysterious Sanctuary.
• Abel led the Ghost Guardian Knights into the sewers, where Burning Death Archers ambushed them with flaming arrows.
• Abel’s Fireball proved weakened by the Archers’ fire resistance, and one Ghost Guardian Knight lost contact with him after taking a volley of arrows.
• Abel joined the fight on Black Wind, drew the Archers’ aggro, and attacked them while the Ghost Guardian Knight Captain used Fire Enhancement and Naga spread Poison Mist.
• The surviving Ghost Guardian Knights absorbed the Archers’ soul fires, and Abel assessed the enemies as Nightmare-level threats before deciding to prioritize better equipment for his knights.

• Wizard K3411 sent Abel a map to the Battlefield Survival Training Camp and wished him good luck.

Abel arrived at Miracle City’s Battlefield Survival Training Camp and joined its physical training despite entering late. Instructor Cooper ordered him to run fifteen laps, then punished the other wizards with two extra laps for laughing at Abel.

• Abel walked through Miracle City and marveled at the enormous wall beside the city before reaching the training camp.

• Layard had Warehouse Manager Daryl issue Abel light leather armor and boots, and Abel changed before reporting to the training ground.
• Instructor Cooper ordered Abel to complete fifteen laps for arriving late, and Abel began running.
• The other wizards laughed at Abel, so Instructor Cooper ordered everyone to run two extra laps.

• Abel ate the Wizards’ comparatively lavish dinner and learned from K3515 that ordinary soldiers received black bread and meat soup.

• Deputy Instructor Leyard showed Abel his quarters and explained the ban on spells, the instructors’ authority, and the final test in ten days.

• Abel avoided the peak of Instructor Cooper’s strike and absorbed the remaining force with his shield.
• Instructor Cooper asked whether Abel had learned Knight Skill, and Abel said his family passed down a Knight’s Legacy.

• Instructor Cooper praised Abel’s shield work and stopped making things difficult for him after learning he could use Knight Skills.
• Deputy Instructor Layard agreed to examine the Sorceresses’ assessment, and Cooper approved his application.

• When Layard started the timed assessment, Abel moved to the front and the Sorceresses lined up behind him.
• Abel maintained a steady pace through all fifteen laps, and the last Sorceress finished within the allotted time.

Deputy Instructor Leyard exposed five wizards for cheating, then used the Forbidden Magic Array to impose a far harsher shield assessment on the remaining trainees. Abel suspected Leyard’s actions were connected to him and that the deputy instructor had discovered his identity.

• Deputy Instructor Leyard had Miracle Spirit scan the trainees, and five wizards were caught using prohibited items and had their military badges confiscated.
• Leyard requested and received permission to use the Forbidden Magic Array, then announced that the shield defense assessment would take place inside it.
• Leyard tested K3501 with a powerful strike, which K3501 barely blocked, while K3502 was knocked back six steps and failed.
• K3502 accused K3501 of spreading the rumor that the assessment would be easy, and the trainees concluded that Leyard had deliberately misled them.
• Abel’s World Stone Fragment estimated a seventy-six percent chance that Leyard’s actions were related to him, leading Abel to suspect Leyard had recognized his identity.

Abel entered the Forbidden Magic Array for the assessment, where Deputy Instructor Leyard revealed that he had recognized Abel and planned to kill him for destroying the Magic Tower of the Keen Duchy. Leyard attacked Abel, who remained confident and stepped forward to counter him.

• Abel entered the Forbidden Magic Array and felt its power suppress his mana.

• Instructor Cooper told Wizard Caulder that Leyard had planned the incident and died after attacking Wizard K3516.

Abel was investigated after killing Deputy Instructor Layard inside the Forbidden Magic Array, and the Miracle Spirit ruled that Layard had attacked him unlawfully. Abel automatically passed the assessment and left Miracle City’s instructors wondering how a wizard had wielded a sword with such precision.

• Intermediate Wizards Caulder and Boris questioned Instructor Cooper about Abel killing Layard with three sword strikes and no battle qi or spells.
• Caulder discovered that Layard had manipulated the assessment to target Abel, and the Miracle Spirit ruled Abel’s actions self-defense and awarded him five military merits.

• Caulder congratulated Abel and bowed to him, while the other wizards also bowed as Abel left the training grounds.
