Chapter 553: A Huge Discovery

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two figures landed in an overgrown mountain forest.

One was a black-robed Spell Caster who glanced at the sky, and suddenly asked, "Wizard Luce, have you felt the Elemental Origin of this dimension?"

"Elemental Origin?"

Luce blanked out for a moment. Naturally, he knew that the Elemental Origin was the foundation of a dimension. Many plunderers had exploited the Elemental Origin to create their Maxims.

Once the Elemental Origin was gone or otherwise damaged, that dimension would no longer be suitable for Spell Casters to the point that once the Elemental Origin had fallen apart completely, it would affect the environment of the dimension. Devastating squalls and torrents of floods, for instance, were likely to disastrously afflict the living beings of the dimension.

When most Legends occupied a dimension, they were not like plunderers. They would not directly damage the Elemental Origin but instead control it, gently perceiving its mysteries. In that manner, they would spend a long time to gain an understanding of the Elemental Origin bit by bit, and consolidate a new Maxim.

Merlin earlier had sensed that the Elemental Origin seemed to be gathering at the floating continent in the distance. There, Legend Sith had already suppressed the Satsuma God.

In fact, it was simple enough to control the Elemental Origin. In general, it would follow the master of the dimension. Natural gods born in a dimension were the masters, so one could slowly take over this control of the Elemental Origin from a god.

As long as one could suppress or kill a god, acquiring the Elemental Origin was a piece of cake.

Merlin thought about the two dimension coordinates that he knew. If they were truly masterless dimensions, then it would be easy for him to control the Elemental Origin. Most Spell Casters above the Seventh-level, barring any outside interference, would quickly grasp the Elemental Origin of a dimension with no master.

If one had controlled the Elemental Origin, it was equivalent to controlling the entire dimension!

"Legend Sith has almost gained control of the Elemental Origin. How lucky for him to find a masterless dimension such as this where the god isn't powerful as well. He has acquired a massive dimension so easily."

Wizard Luce looked at the floating continent in the distance and an expression of envy came over his face. It was not so easy to find a dimension without a master. Some of the new Great Legends had been in the Void Zone for more than a century, yet they were still unable to find a masterless dimension.

"Let's go. There's a shrine in that area ahead. It's built on this wild mountain. Heh, that saves us some trouble. We'll just destroy it completely and be done with it."

Wizard Luce and Merlin flew toward the shrine on the slope.

"Swoosh."

Both of them hovered above the shrine, where believers were still walking in and out as if they had not noticed Merlin and Wizard Luce. As they watched the believers below, they exchanged a glance. These believers were far too weak.

With a sweep of their Mind Power, they found out that in this shrine, even the strongest believer was only on par with a Seventh-level Spell Caster. Any spell they unleashed would be enough to destroy the believers completely.

"It's my turn now!"

Wind Element surged up furiously around Wizard Luce, and he pointed down at the shrine. His Mind Power guided the Ninth-level Wind-type spell and quickly rushed toward the shrine.

"Boom!"

Under the mighty force of the Ninth-level spell, the shrine could not withstand it at all, and was demolished instantly. As for the believers inside, they were totally crushed by the gale, and not a single one escaped.

"How simple. I hope the following shrines are this easy as well. Come on."

Just as Wizard Luce was leading Merlin toward a shrine in the next region, Merlin furrowed his brows, and fixed his gaze upon the ruins of the recently destroyed shrine.

As if he sensed Merlin's hesitation, Wizard Luce asked doubtfully, "Wizard Merlin, what's wrong? Have you noticed something?"

Following Merlin's gaze, Wizard Luce looked toward the ruins of the shrine as well but he did not see anything that appeared suspicious.

"How come I don't see anything?"

Wizard Luce mumbled throatily.

Merlin abruptly flew toward the ruins, his eyes flashing with a determined sharp light. His expression even contained a trace of elation, only he was forcing himself to suppress it.

"Wizard Luce, pay close attention to the concentration of Elements above the ruins."

Merlin kept his voice low and steady. From Merlin's manner, Wizard Luce could discern a note of excitement.

"Concentration of Elements? It's very normal, this concentration… Hold on, why are the Elements so concentrated here?"

Wizard Luce's expression changed greatly. He felt it as well. Above the shrine, the Elements had become more concentrated. This dimension was already concentrated with Elements in the first place, and was considered a good dimension, suitable for the cultivation of Spell Casters.

However, the concentration of Elements above the shrine was even more astounding. Just being there gave Wizard Luce a feeling of being immersed in Elements.

"What an intense concentration of Elements! Where from the ruins is this coming from?"

Wizard Luce finally gazed down at the ruins. He knew at last why Merlin was so excited. If he had guessed correctly, there must be a lode of Elements beneath the shrine.

Lodes of Elements were in fact not uncommon. Conversely, some dimensions had plenty of them. Nevertheless, these lodes could be categorized by size and quality. With such an intense lode of Elements, it must be a lode of relatively good quality.

As for the size, they would have to take a closer look.

"Wizard Merlin, let's see first how big this lode really is?"

With a great swipe of his hand, Wizard Luce cleared away the ruins below. The earth and rocks were blasted away by Wizard Luce, revealing a glittering lode of elemental crystal stones below the ground.

"There are elemental crystal stones so close to the surface. The quality of this lode is exceptional!"

Wizard Luce gasped in astonishment when he saw this lode, and his eyes brightened with glee. This was really a windfall that had fallen in their laps. He did not expect that upon following Legend Sith to this masterless dimension, they would discover such a massive lode.

"Wizard Luce, look even more carefully at the direction of this lode."

"Direction?"

Wizard Luce followed Merlin's gaze and discovered that the trail of Elements wound west then east, starting from the demolished shrine, not diminishing in the slightest. It was evident that this lode stretched very far.

"Come on, let's see how far it goes."

With that, Merlin and Wizard Luce flew as they continued examining the lode. At the start, Wizard Luce was filled with surprise and elation because this rather large lode would at least provide a few million elemental crystal stones. Moreover, it would be first-rate elemental crystal stones.

However, as more time passed, the lode stretched further and further as if there was no end. From the initial few million elemental crystal stones, it grew to ten million, twenty million, thirty million…

In the end, there were more than a hundred million elemental crystal stones, yet it was still not finished. The concentration of Elements remained as strong as ever as they flew forward. Wizard Luce's face turned more and more somber until ultimately there was no trace of joy.

"Phew…"

Finally, Merlin and Wizard Luce had flown for three days straight. They were rather fast and did not know how much distance they had covered over these three days. It must have been hundreds of thousands of miles at least.

An elemental crystal stones lode that stretched over hundreds of thousands of miles – what a gigantic load this was. Based on their rough estimation, they could unearth at least a billion elemental crystal stones!

They had never even heard of such a colossal elemental crystal stones lode. It had exceeded their imaginations. This was no ordinary dimension but clearly a dimension of elemental crystal stones, which were hidden under the entire dimension.

"Wizard Merlin, the three days' time is up. Let's go quickly. Such a large lode is no longer something we can profit from – it's the cause of ruin! Even an Honored Legend would go mad over this. At the moment, Legend Sith must not have noticed. We should leave this place as soon as possible to avoid stirring up trouble. Otherwise, there would be problems."

Wizard Luce's speaking voice was shaking slightly because this was far too earth-shattering. A sum of more than a billion elemental crystal stones – what an enormous fortune that was!

It must be known that the fortune of most ordinary Legends was just about ten million elemental crystal stones. Even those powerful Honored Legends, who hoarded for over a thousand years, would not have more than a hundred million.

Anyone would go crazy over more than a billion elemental crystal stones. If one could acquire this dimension, one would immediately become one of the richest Spell Casters of the entire Spell Caster civilization in one leap.

If it was a lode with only a few million elemental crystal stones, Wizard Luce and Merlin would have hit the jackpot but with more than one billion elemental crystal stones, this was no longer good luck but a hazard!

"Three days are up. All Spell Casters are to leave the Satsuma Dimension!"

Suddenly, the sky thundered with a booming voice, which belonged to Legend Sith. He had given the Spell Casters three days to destroy the shrines.

Now that three days were over, according to the conditions of the contract, the Spell Casters enlisted by Legend Sith must leave the Satsuma Dimension. Up until now, it seemed that Legend Sith had not discovered any elemental crystal stones lode.

"Wizard Merlin, let's go quickly. No matter what ends up happening in this dimension, it's not something we can get involved in."

Wizard Luce was constantly urging Merlin to leave but Merlin was somewhat reluctant. Such an enormous elemental crystal stones lode! He thought about Dispelling Water in the Pavilion of Rarities. Each type would need ten million elemental crystal stones. At first, Merlin had thought that he could not possibly attain so many elemental crystal stones.

However, there was now a chance before his eyes. He only had to spend a little time, and with his methods, he could get enough elemental crystal stones from the lode in a short period.

Of course, this was assuming that it was not discovered by Legend Sith.

"Wizard Luce, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance! I can set up a Runic Magic Circle first, making it harder for Legend Sith to find us. Following that, we'll get a sufficient amount of elemental crystal stones as fast as we can. Even if we're discovered, don't forget, we've signed a contract with Legend Sith. He can't attack us or even restrain us! At worst, we would have offended a Great Legend over this but the Void Zone is so vast. With the elemental crystal stones, we can go anywhere we want. Can Legend Sith really search through the entire Void Zone?"

Merlin's words tempted Wizard Luce. It was true. With the contract, Legend Sith could not attack them for now. In addition, upon leaving the dimension, the contract stipulated that Legend Sith must not attack them for a month.

This was their chance. Moreover, if they were quick and surreptitious about it, Legend Sith might not even find out.

"Let's do it!"

After giving it a great deal of thought, Wizard Luce finally made up his mind. His eyes were bloodshot. Evidently, it had been a big decision. After all, not everyone would have the guts to go against a Great Legend.

"Alright, we can't delay anymore. We'll act now. I'll set up the Runic Magic Circle first!"

A smile appeared on Merlin's lips. With Luce's help, he would be able to dig up enough elemental crystal stones in the shortest possible time.

Chapter 554: Darkness Eye, Summon Demon Spirit!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin flew into the air and extended a finger. A pulsating rune appeared on his forehead – it was the Runic Heartprint! Merlin had not used it for a long time. After all, it was no longer of much use to Merlin lately. Nonetheless, it was still able to isolate their force and prevent their movements from being revealed.

"Runic Heartprint, go!"

One by one the runes were released by Merlin through the power of the Runic Heartprint. This was a Runic Magic Circle that was built especially for concealment, and it was one of the most effective ones. It was just that it required too much Mind Power, so Merlin had not dared to use it in the past. However, his Mind Power had improved considerably since then, and he could set it up as he wished without being affected.

"Swish swish swish."

The runes hovered in mid-air, covering up an area of over a hundred miles. From the surface, it looked as if nothing had changed but this was a façade. In fact, Wizard Luce was wildly excavating the elemental crystal stones lode.

"Rise!"

Wizard Luce gave a great roar and Magic Power cascaded from his body. He cast spells of powerful might one after another, razing the entire area of more than a hundred miles into level ground. Following that, the entire elemental crystal stones lode was hauled up by the combined efforts of Merlin and Wizard Luce.

"Seize the elemental crystal stones quickly!"

Merlin's heart burst with glee as he yelled hastily. Countless elemental crystal stones were wildly absorbed into the Spatial Rings of both Wizards. In a few short minutes, they had gotten a few hundred thousand elemental crystal stones at least. If they kept this up for a few hours, they would even get a few million or maybe more than ten million elemental crystal stones.

If this pace was maintained for a day or two, they would surely obtain more than a hundred million elemental crystal stones. Both of them were currently drunk on the "thrill" of frantically collecting elemental crystal stones.Legend Sith looked coldly at the Satsuma God he was suppressing. His two Maxims were restraining the Satsuma God at all times, exerting immense pressure on the god.

If he only had one Maxim, Legend Sith might still be able to suppress the Satsuma God by force but it would then take a few months to kill the Satsuma God off completely or even a few years' time for his divinity to be exhausted.

However, he had two Maxims furiously draining the Satsuma God's divinity so, in a mere three days' time, Legend Sith had already forced the Satsuma God to the end of his rope.

"Hehe, your divinity is finally all used up. Die!"

With a vicious push of Legend Sith's both hands, the two Maxims which were like massive mountains, immediately crushed the Satsuma God's gigantic frame into dust. Without divinity, the Satsuma God had no way of resurrecting himself.

The exception was if he still had believers in the future who constantly accumulated the power of faith for him. Perhaps then, he would come back to life. However, the entire Satsuma Dimension was in Legend Sith's grasp. When it became a Spell Caster dimension in the future, it would be impossible for the Satsuma God to accumulate the power of faith.

"I've finally succeeded! Now it's time to gain total control of the Elemental Origin."

Legend Sith closed his eyes wordlessly. He was attentively feeling the Elemental Origin, rapidly achieving mastery of it. Only by controlling the Elemental Origin could he actually control the dimension.

Through the Elemental Origin, Legend Sith was able to "see" any location in the Satsuma Dimension. His Mind Power followed the Elemental Origin, and inspected the colossal Satsuma Dimension.

"Huh? There's such a great commotion. What's going on?"

Soon enough, through the Elemental Origin, Legend Sith perceived a massive agitation in the dimension. Therefore, he quickly traced it back to its source.

"A Runic Magic Circle?"

Legend Sith was slightly stupefied. Someone had actually used a Runic Magic Circle to isolate their movements. It was not surprising that he had not discovered this when he was just starting to control the Elemental Origin. It was only now that he had full mastery of the Elemental Origin that he could sense a trace of that commotion.

"Humph, let me see who can it be?"

Legend Sith's face turned cold, following which his Mind Power, through the Elemental Origin, noiselessly probed within the Runic Magic Circle. Not even the Runic Magic Circle could detect his Mind Power.

"Rumble."

Just as he had passed through the Runic Magic Circle, Legend Sith was struck dumb by what he saw. Before his eyes were heaps and heaps of elemental crystal stones, piling up into mountains. In the depths of the ground stretching out endlessly, was, in fact, a massive lode of elemental crystal stones.

"What? Such a gigantic lode? The entire dimension is practically sitting above this lode… The heavens have blessed me with these riches, haha, to think that I've found such a treasure trove! These two puny Ninth-level Spell Casters are greedy by nature. They dare to steal elemental crystal stones which belong to me! D*mn fools!"

A murderous rage gripped his features. Naturally, he remembered that these two individuals had signed a contract with him, so he could not attack them. However, just because he could not attack did not mean that he was powerless.

The contracts were signed indeed but Legend Sith had other ways.

"Slave Wei, Slave Hai, both of you go and kill those two!"

Two Spell Casters appeared behind Legend Sith. Their expressions were wooden but they were filled with fear toward the Legend Sith. These were two Great Wizards controlled by Legend Sith. They had been kept hidden all along, just in case an unexpected situation ever arose where Sith could not attack, where these two could still be mobilized.

Both of them had not signed any contracts, and could attack freely!

"Very well, great Master!"

Slave Wei and Slave Hai had completely become Legend Sith's slaves, controlled by a contract. Thereafter, the two Great Wizards left quickly.Within the Runic Magic Circle, the place was filled with glittering elemental crystal stones. The massive lode looked like a huge dragon. Merlin and Wizard Luce had joined forces to haul up one "dragon" after another. With a blow from their spells, everything became gleaming elemental crystal stones, which were divided by both into their Spatial Rings.

"Wizard Luce, how many elemental crystal stones have you collected, roughly speaking?"

Merlin suddenly asked.

Wizard Luce examined his loot briefly, and his face was filled with delight. With a trembling voice, he said, "I've already collected more than three million elemental crystal stones. How about you?"

"I've gotten a bit more – over five million elemental crystal stones. We have to hurry. Although the Runic Magic Circle is concealing us, as time goes by, it'll be difficult to avoid Legend Sith's detection."

Merlin had a vague premonition. If they delayed any longer, it was likely they would be caught by Legend Sith.

"Is that so? Both of you are brave indeed. You actually dare to fool Legend Sith, and steal the elemental crystal stones."

At an unknown time, two other Spell Casters had shown up within the Runic Magic Circle. From the Elemental fluctuations of their bodies, they were Great Wizards.

"Oh no, the Runic Magic Circle didn't even react. Legend Sith must've mobilized the power of this dimension's Elemental Origin. We've been discovered by Legend Sith. Run, run quickly!"

Merlin immediately dragged Wizard Luce and paid no mind to those two Great Wizards. His figure flashed as he dashed madly toward the exterior of the Satsuma Dimension.

"Trying to escape?"

The two Great Wizards were Slave Wei and Slave Hai. Seeing that Merlin and Wizard Luce were no Great Wizards, they heaved a soft sigh of relief. At least, they would not be in danger this time around.

Wizard Luce's face turned color. He was already somewhat remorseful that he had followed Merlin, and hauled the elemental crystal stones lode.

"Wizard Merlin, we're done for. These two must be Legend Sith's slaves or followers. Legend Sith can't attack but his slaves can. We have no way of contending against any one of those two Great Wizards."

Wizard Luce shook his head lightly. He was no longer holding on to any hope.

Behind them, Slave Wei and Slave Wei moved very quickly as well. Both of them unleashed their full force, each casting spells which immediately blanketed a range of a hundred miles. No matter how fast Merlin was, he could not outrun their spells.

The Great Wizards' spells contained multiple Elements, and shifted constantly, making it impossible to guard against. They had great might too, and was something far beyond a Ninth-level Spell Caster's abilities.

"Merlin, we won't escape."

Wizard Luce was truly in despair. The Great Wizards' spells pressed upon them with terrifying force. He did not even have the courage to resist anymore.

"Luce, right now, escape immediately as fast as you can, run!"

Merlin cried out furiously, and turned around abruptly, shielding Luce behind him. His head of long black hair began to flutter in a strange manner.

"This punk wants to die?"

"He's just a Seventh-level Spell Caster. Going insane right before dying is quite normal, after all."

Slave Wei and Slave Hai had killed so many people that they had lost count. Looking at Merlin was just like staring at an ant that would not give up struggling.

"Darkness Eye, summon Demon Spirit!"

Merlin gave a low cry and extended a fair palm. Instantly, crimson light shone from his palm, where an eerie blood-red eye blinked incessantly.

At the same time, a swathe of darkness glided behind Merlin silently. A giant ghostly face of unparalleled size solidified, bursting out in peals of cold laughter, eyes fixed upon Slave Wei and Slave Hai, inducing a chill in them.

This was also Merlin's first time unleashing the sixth form of Darkness Eye, which was only cultivated through the Blackfire King's help. The sixth form was, in fact, able to condense a spirit form, Darkness Demon Spirit, from the darkness.

The pinnacle of this Darkness Demon Spirit was comparable to some gods! That would only be achievable by the seventh form. The Legend of Darkness Oflas was remarkable indeed, creating this special Pandora Demon Ability which could condense Darkness Demon Spirit, a spirit form with Darkness Eye as its base. As a result, the power of Darkness Eye was immediately leagues beyond other special Pandora Demon Abilities.

Darkness Demon Spirit snarled as soon as it appeared, and immediately swung one ferocious palm to crush Slave Wei and Slave Wei. Thereafter, it opened its giant mouth which was like a black hole, swallowing both of them promptly.

From the time Darkness Demon Spirit appeared to the point where it swallowed the two Great Wizards, the entire process took barely one moment. Wizard Luce was still completely blank, at a loss of what to do.

"Let's go! Don't forget, there's still Legend Sith!"

Merlin did not hesitate any longer and withdrew the sixth form of Darkness Eye. Although he was also astounded by the terrifying might of the sixth form of Darkness Eye, what was more important now was to escape, to run far away from the Satsuma Dimension."Darkness Eye?"

On the floating continent, Legend Sith, who had been observing Merlin and Luce, stood up abruptly. His eyes were like two pools of ice. It was not because of Slave Wei and Slave Hai. Those two Great Wizards were merely his slaves, and he did not care about them at all.

What enraged Legend Sith was Merlin's use of Darkness Eye. Legend Sith, as a Great Legend with two Maxims, naturally had some knowledge of Darkness Eye. All those who cultivated Darkness Eye, especially those like Merlin who cultivated it to the sixth form, were basically the Legend of Darkness Oflas' prey. They were surveilled by Oflas.

"This isn't good. If Oflas realizes what's going on here, there would be trouble! D*mn it, how can a mere Seventh-level Spell Caster cultivate Darkness Eye to its sixth form?"

Legend Sith stood up hastily. No matter what, he must not let Merlin live. If Oflas ever learned of this giant lode of elemental crystal stones through Darkness Eye, it would be rather troublesome. Sith would not allow something like that to happen.

"Boom!"

That gigantic castle of Sith's descended instantly, following which it sped out of the dimension at its highest speed, flying toward the vast Void Zone…

Chapter 555: Blocking the Exit?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the infinite Void Zone, a flying ship turned into a beam of white light, and rapidly traversed the boundless Void Zone.

Within the Aurora Ship, Wizard Luce was full of shock, staring mutely at Merlin without speaking. He was far too flabbergasted. He thought it had been a situation of certain death, only for Merlin to display his unusual power, immediately swallowing the two Great Wizards.

Those were two Great Wizards – not Seventh-level, Eighth-level or Ninth-level Spell Casters but formidable Great Wizards!

It was only then that Wizard Luce realized he did not know Merlin at all. He was currently feeling slight pangs of regret for following Merlin in doing such an insane thing.

"Where are we going now?"

Now and again, Wizard Luce glanced at the massive castle behind them. This was Legend Sith's castle, which had been following behind them. It was only a matter of time before it caught up to them.

Luce even suspected that the real reason Legend Sith had not caught up to them yet was due to the contract stipulating that within a month of leaving the dimension, Legend Sith was not allowed to attack.

As he was hindered by the constraints of the contract, Legend Sith had not acted against them yet. However, he was pursuing them stubbornly. Clearly, Legend Sith was waiting for one month's time to pass, waiting for the contract to expire. At that point, even if Merlin was strong, could he overpower a Great Legend?

Merlin was also full of gloom. He had surmised Legend Sith's intentions. One month might seem like a long time but in fact, they had already been flying for over twenty days. In the sweeping Void Zone, a few days' time was nothing at all.

"How far away are we from the Shkedu Dimension?"

Merlin asked quietly. He was currently steering toward the Shkedu Dimension at full speed. Merlin knew that if they headed into the depths of the Void Zone, it would only be to their own dooms because he had no way of shaking off Legend Sith.

They could only escape to the Shkedu Dimension, and take advantage of the regulations there. They would have temporary safety. Of course, this was assuming that they reached the Shkedu Dimension before the contract expired.

"We're about eight days away. We'll have to hurry."

Wizard Luce spoke in dispirited tones. He now appeared very terrified. They had offended a Great Legend and was being targeted, and pursued relentlessly. Wizard Luce had lost his courage long ago. Even when he looked at the three million plus elemental crystal stones in his Spatial Ring, he could feel no sense of joy.

"Eight days should be enough!"

Merlin gritted his teeth, and urged the Aurora Ship forward at full speed as it flew ahead.

"Humph, you only have a few days left. When the contract expires, where else can you run?"

In the castle, Legend Sith was pissed off. Just to deal with two puny Spell Casters who were not even Great Wizards, he had to chase them for so many days. Moreover, because of the contract, he could not act against them yet. Endless fury had stored up in his heart. Once the contract expired, this fury would erupt violently.In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. In less than a day, the binding power of the contract would expire. At the moment, Legend Sith was also getting closer to Merlin's Aurora Ship.

"Quick, quick, go faster! We're almost at the Shkedu Dimension. If we can't reach it before the contract expires, we'll be in deep trouble!"

Presently, Wizard Luce's face was drained of color, and his voice was shaking. He was anxious to the maximum. A Great Legend was just behind them, tracking them down murderously. In times like this, anyone would be incapable of remaining calm.

Merlin was the same as well. He was now unable to maintain his cool. He could see the Shkedu Dimension just in front of him but the contract was expiring in a few hours.

Moreover, upon entering the Shkedu Dimension, they would have to enter a building to be safe. Otherwise, Legend Sith would have ways to instantly restrain both Merlin and Wizard Luce without damaging the buildings of the Shkedu Dimension.

"Didimoss, wake up quickly!"

Merlin roused the black cat Didimoss in panic. Ever since they left Arcane City, the black cat Didimoss had been in deep sleep. Merlin did not know how many things Legend Zado had let the black cat Didimoss swallowed to the point where he still had not woken up.

At this time, Merlin could only ask for the black cat Didimoss' assistance.

"What's up? I was sleeping so peacefully…"

The black cat Didimoss was so fat now that he would turn anyone speechless. If it was not for his "cat" features being too obvious, many people would mistake him as a plump dog, based on his size.

Merlin had no inclination to focus on the black cat Didimoss' appearance, and said hurriedly, "Didimoss, we're now in danger. A Legendary Wizard with two Maxims is chasing us. If we still haven't entered the Shkedu Dimension when the contract expires, we'll have to rely on your strength to stop Legend Sith…"

Merlin gave a brief explanation of all that had happened. The fat black cat Didimoss was no longer sleepy but instead glanced back at the castle with an anxious "expression".

"Merlin, you've really stirred up trouble. A Great Legend who had created two Maxims… There's no point in relying on me. I'm afraid only that you can only ask that old fellow Zado to save you."

The fat black cat Didimoss shook his head repeatedly. Although he had reversed his life form, and swallowed so many members of foreign tribes, he was still only on par with an ordinary Great Legend with one Maxim. It was a long way from being on par with Legend Sith who had two Maxims.

"I didn't ask you to defeat him. Just hold him back for a moment. Currently, only you can slow him down…"

Merlin knew very well that although his Darkness Eye was powerful, it was nothing in a Great Legend's eyes. Only the black cat Didimoss could block Legend Sith.

However, the fat black cat Didimoss had become more "human-like", muttering continuously, "That's rather dangerous. Since I've followed you, not only is there nothing to eat but we also encounter constant danger. It's not like when I was with Zado… Although that old fellow keeps researching me, at least I get to fill up my belly every day, sleeping, eating, and nothing else. What a wonderful life that was…"

Merlin was momentarily speechless. The black cat Didimoss had completely turned into a lazy bulging cat. However, seeing that Didimoss was complaining in this manner, Merlin knew that he had agreed to help, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was his last resort. If there was no need for this, Merlin would have hoped that the black cat Didimoss did not have to do this.

"Mmm, the contract is finally expired. Hehe, although you've reached the Shkedu Dimension, ultimately, it's not too late for me. Come back here!"

Legend Sith immediately flew out from his castle, and stood outside the Shkedu Dimension. In the distance, he could see with his naked eyes that the Aurora Ship was flying into the Shkedu Dimension at its greatest speed.

"Boom!"

With a great swipe of Legend Sith's hands, a Wind Maxim quickly condensed into a gigantic hand that covered the area. This hand stretched toward the Shkedu Dimension as quickly as it could.

"Swish."

With a gentle flicker, the Aurora Ship entered the Shkedu Dimension but Merlin and Wizard Luce did not celebrate just yet. Suddenly, they felt a suffocating force all over their bodies, just like a powerful Binding power.

"The contract is expired. Sith has attacked!"

Merlin and Luce exchanged a glance, and could see the alarm in each other's eyes. Considering Legend Sith's speed, and the fact that they had just entered the Shkedu Dimension, they would need a bit more time to reach the closest building.

However, in this brief period of time, Legend Sith would be able to capture them.

"Didimoss, it's up to you now!"

Merlin screamed wildly as he steered the Aurora Ship. Without thinking of anything else, he flew wildly toward the nearest building, and he could even clearly see three words, "Pavilion of Rarities."

It was the Pavilion of Rarities which Wizard Luce had brought Merlin to back then.

"Meow!"

The black cat Didimoss immediately flew out from Merlin's Aurora Ship, and his body swelled up instantly. His gigantic frame was filled with an intimidating force as he roared, "I'll swallow you!"

The black cat Didimoss opened his wide mouth which turned into a massive black hole, swallowing the giant hand of Legend Sith's Wind Maxim.

"What's that? It's the power of a Maxim. A Great Legend is attacking!"

"It's a cat! A cat on the level of a Great Legend. My heavens, what's going on? How can a mere cat becomes on par with a Great Legend?"

Many Wizards stared dumbly at the sky. A large hand formed from a Maxim, and an unspeakably overweight cat were battling fiercely. The cat had swallowed the hand in one gulp.

It was just that the fat cat who swallowed the giant hand seemed to have taken a great hit as if from "indigestion". His body shrunk immediately, and he slipped into the Pavilion of Rarities like a breeze.

"Swoosh."

A Great Legend's figure appeared in the sky, his body surrounded by the vigorous power of his Maxims. In addition, a castle-like casting tool slowly descended above the Pavilion of Rarities.

Legend Sith's face was incomparably stormy. He had thought that victory was in his grasp, that he would certainly capture Merlin and Luce. However, it was disrupted by a cat at the last minute. Moreover, until now, he did not even know what that cat was exactly, to be able to swallow his Maxim.

"This is bad. They've hidden in the Pavilion of Rarities. If they don't come out, I can do nothing!"

Legend Sith drew in a deep breath, then bellowed at the Pavilion of Rarities, "Humph, how long can you two hide? I'll wait here outside, and wait for you to come out."

Legend Sith did not dare to make a move against the Pavilion of Rarities as that would be a death wish. The rules of the Shkedu Dimension were bloodily, and efficiently enforced. No one would go against them so lightly.

Legend Sith did as he said, and set up the power of his Maxim outside before flying into his castle. He really had decided to block the doorway of the pavilion.

Many onlookers were filled with curiosity. They knew Legend Sith. Who knew what others had actually provoked Legend Sith to such an extent? He would hunt them to his dying breath.In the Pavilion of Rarities, Merlin looked at the listless-looking black cat Didimoss on his shoulder, and his expression shifted uncertainly. A Great Wizard of the Pavilion of Rarities stood beside them, saying calmly, "Wizard Merlin, don't worry. After entering the Pavilion of Rarities, you're protected. No one would dare to pick a fight with you here."

Merlin nodded but he was still not completely relieved. Sith was waiting just outside the door. Was Merlin really going to hide in the Pavilion of Rarities forever?

Furthermore, as time goes by, no one was certain that the Pavilion of Rarities would not hand him over.

"However, I'm curious. Wizard Merlin and Wizard Luce, what did you two actually do to offend a Great Legend like Sith to such an extent?"

The numerous Spell Casters in the pavilion were now looking at Merlin and Luce in an inquisitive manner. To provoke a Great Legend to the point where he would resort to such a "vulgar" relentless measure of "blocking the exit"… Could Merlin and Luce, two Spell Casters who were not Great Wizards, really stirred up such a deep-seated grudge in Legend Sith that no one knew about?

Chapter 556: Zado's Arrival

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Pavilion of Rarities, Merlin was downcast. He looked at Legend Sith outside who was "blocking the exit" so openly. Clearly, he was waiting outside for Merlin. Once Merlin exited the Pavilion of Rarities, he would be seized by Legend Sith.

Luce was also full of dismay, having no ideas left. He could only mumble over and over, "What do we do? What do we do?"

Merlin glanced at the black cat Didimoss on his shoulder, asking gently, "Didimoss, how are you doing?"

The black cat Didimoss shook his head feebly. "Nothing too bad. However, by forcibly swallowing Legend Sith's Maxim, I've really 'overstuffed' myself. I'm afraid I'll need a very long time to slowly recover. Merlin, I can't help you much now. You'd better contact that old fellow Zado quickly. With him around, Legend Sith outside would be no match."

It was not as if Merlin did not know that he should inform Legend Zado. Legend Zado had even placed a rune on Merlin, which he could unleash in times of crisis.

However, based on Legend Sith's manner, since this involved such a gigantic lode, a mere projection of Legend Zado would surely be insufficient in convincing Legend Sith to let the matter go. Legend Zado would have to come here himself.

It was just that Legend Zado was in Arcane City. The vast Void Zone contained no space nor time, and there was no way to communicate across it.

Suddenly, Merlin eyed the Spell Casters in the Pavilion of Rarities, and his heart leaped. He immediately asked a female Spell Caster beside him, "Who's the Wizard in charge of the Pavilion of Rarities?"

"It's the Great Wizard Leto."

Merlin bobbed his head. "Please invite the Great Wizard Leto here. I have an important matter to discuss with him."

The female Wizard shot Merlin a doubtful look. Legend Sith outside was watching them like a tiger, evidently not about to give up. However, not only did Merlin show no signs of panic, he appeared calm and composed instead.

What point was there in inviting the Great Wizard Leto? Was Merlin really counting on the Pavilion of Rarities to step in, and ask Legend Sith to leave?

Many thoughts flashed across the female Wizard's head. In her opinion, Merlin could only stay forever in the Pavilion of Rarities. Moreover, as he had offended Legend Sith, the more time passed, the more unfavorable the situation was for Merlin.

"Wizard Merlin, what use is there in looking for the Great Wizard Leto? The Pavilion of Rarities would not chase us out but they surely won't help us confront Legend Sith either."

Wizard Luce seemed to have the same thoughts. No matter how remorseful he was, there was no point in regrets. Now, the most important thing was to think of a way out.

Merlin laughed softly. "Wizard Luce, I still haven't clarified my identity to you. When the Great Wizard Leto has arrived, I'll explain everything. Don't worry, I have a plan to deal with Legend Sith."

Upon hearing Merlin's words, Wizard Luce widened his eyes in astonishment. It was true. After so long, Wizard Luce still did not know Merlin's identity – where he came from, and so on.

"Haha, is there anything I can help with?"

Soon enough, the Great Wizard Leto appeared before Merlin. This was a powerful Great Wizard who was at the peak, already beginning to consolidate a Maxim.

"Great Wizard Leto, I'd like to ask the Pavilion of Rarities for a favor."

Merlin took a deep breath and requested softly.

"A favor?'

The Great Wizard Leto gave a stiff smile as he glanced at Legend Sith outside, then said in a low voice, "Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, if this is about Legend Sith, we're powerless as well. A Legend with two Maxims – although we at the Pavilion of Rarities aren't afraid, we're not willing to anger him either."

The Pavilion of Rarities was backed by a few Great Legends as well. Naturally, they would not provoke the Legend Sith without reason purely for Merlin's sake. This was also one of the most important reasons the Pavilion of Rarities had done so well in the Shkedu Dimension for they had never caused trouble.

Merlin shook his head. "Great Wizard Leto, you misunderstood me. I don't want your Pavilion of Rarities to handle Legend Sith. I only wish for one of your Wizards to make a trip to Arcane City, to bring a message to Legend Zado for me."

"Huh? Arcane City? Wizard Merlin is a Potential Wizard from Arcane City?"

The Great Wizard Leto now widened his eyes. Arcane City was the "sacred place" of the entire Spell Caster civilization. It was founded by the true pillars of the Spell Caster civilization – the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

It could be said that the Potential Wizards of Arcane City were equivalent to the "disciples" of the Ultimate Arcane Wizards. However, of course, they could not compare to disciples who were taken on personally. Moreover, the influences of the Potential Wizards themselves were often tangled and complex, with many of them supported by Great Legends.

Therefore, once a Potential Wizard had left Arcane City, Arcane City would not pay any attention to what happened outside.

Even so, a Potential Wizard of Arcane City held a rather high status. Only those rather freakish Spell Casters were able to enter Arcane City. Their chances of becoming a Legend were also far higher than Spell Casters from elsewhere.

In addition, Merlin had mentioned Legend Zado, and was most likely Legend Zado's disciple.

"Wizard Merlin, are you Legend Zado's disciple?"

The Great Wizard Leto asked cautiously. Compared to Arcane City, Merlin's identity as Legend Zado's disciple was undoubtedly the more threatening one because Legend Zado was an exceedingly protective Spell Caster, and a top-notch Legend with five Maxims to boot. He was only second to an Honored Legend, and once he became an Honored Legend, he would be prominent among Honored Legends too.

To go one step further, considering the potential of Legend Zado's five Maxims, no one would be surprised if he became a Great King in the future.

"That's right, I'm the disciple of Teacher Zado! However, now I'm trapped here with no way to communicate with my teacher, so I'd like to ask Great Wizard Leto for help."

Indeed, he was the disciple of Legend Zado. It was not surprising that Merlin was assured of a safety net. He was still so calm despite a Great Legend "blocking the exit". With Legend Zado as his support, naturally, he was unafraid of anyone.

A smile stretched across the Great Wizard Leto's face. It was just bringing a message, which was a small matter, so he gradually replied, "There are three Arcane Cities. Which Arcane City is it?"

"It's Santo Arcane City. Here's a rune. Hold on to it, and activate it upon entering Arcane City. Teacher Zado would know then."

Merlin handed over Legend Zado's rune to the Great Wizard Leto. As for the Blackfire King, he was still a "secret". The Blackfire King did not like others knowing about his relationship with Merlin, so Merlin was not about to disturb him over this matter. With Legend Zado, he could easily resolve this issue.

"So, it's Santo Arcane City. What a long journey away…"

"Five hundred thousand elemental crystal stones!"

Merlin said resolutely. The Pavilion of Rarities would not help Merlin without a good reason. It was just elemental crystal stones, after all. In addition, for all that Merlin lacked now, he did not lack elemental crystal stones.

Moreover, if Legend Zado showed up, and dealt with Legend Sith when they went back to the Satsuma Dimension with its giant lode, Merlin would not need to worry about not having enough elemental crystal stones anymore.

"Haha, be rest assured, Wizard Merlin. We'll hurry to Arcane City as fast as we can! It'll take two months at most but we'll certainly bring your message."

"In that case, thank you for your trouble, Great Wizard Leto."

Thereafter, Merlin gave five hundred thousand elemental crystal stones to the Great Wizard Leto, who hastily turned to leave, and make preparations.

Next to Merlin, Wizard Luce waited until the Great Wizard Leto had walked away before finally bursting out, "Wizard Merlin, you've really kept me in the dark so agonizingly. So, you're Legend Zado's disciple! In the Satsuma Dimension, did you already plan for the worst?"

Merlin smiled without saying anything but Wizard Luce understood everything now. It turned out that Merlin had never been afraid of Legend Sith from the start. At worst, he could look for Legend Zado. It must be known that Legend Zado with his five Maxims, stood at the peak of ordinary Legends, second only to the powerful Honored Legends.

With such powerful backing, Merlin was naturally unafraid of Legend Sith. Conversely, it was Luce who, without knowing anything, followed Merlin in taking such a massive risk.

Still, after thinking about it, Wizard Luce finally heaved a sigh of relief. After this adventure, he believed that when Legend Zado had arrived, and they had gained control of the Satsuma Dimension, he would not miss out on the profits either.

Merlin and Luce both exhaled, and relaxed completely. They just had to silently wait for Legend Zado to arrive. However, Legend Sith who had been waiting outside was now becoming restless.

"Are they really planning to wait in the Pavilion of Rarities forever? This won't do. If this goes on, and too much time passes, the Satsuma Dimension would really become implicated in this mess. I must settle this matter as soon as possible!"

After some thought, Legend Sith finally decided to inform his elder brother, Legend Arnie. Perhaps only Legend Arnie's appearance would make the Pavilion of Rarities hand over both Merlin and Luce.

It was just that this would make the kinship between Legend Sith and Legend Arnie public. Nonetheless, for the Satsuma Dimension, it was worth it to sacrifice the relationship that they had purposely kept hidden!

With this in mind, Legend Sith sent for a slave, and said quietly, "Invite Elder Brother here!"

Upon hearing Sith mentioning his "Elder Brother", the slave could not help but reveal their consternation.

"Go on, quickly go and quickly return!"

With a wave of Legend Sith's hand, his slave promptly left the Shkedu Dimension…In the peaceful residence, Merlin dressed in a black robe was silently watching Fire-, Thunder-, and Wind-type spells in his hand.

These three spells had been fused successfully. Next, Merlin wanted to fuse the fourth type of spell but this was somewhat challenging. Initially, Wind-type spells and Ice-type spells could fuse together, and Merlin wanted to start from there.

However, after trying this out, he found that it was too difficult. The slightest contact between Ice-type and Fire-type spells immediately caused an explosion. Merlin had tried countless times only to result in failure at last.

"Wizard Merlin, it's been two months. Why hasn't Legend Zado arrived?"

Wizard Luce was bored and restless, watching Merlin fused spells by his side. Although he was a Ninth-level Spell Caster as well, simply watching Merlin's spell fusion was frightening enough, to say nothing of fusing Spell Models.

Unless necessary, Wizard Luce would not consider fusing Spell Models. If he had failed, he would be doomed forever!

"Wait just a little longer, perhaps…"

Merlin suddenly perked up, and raised his head, looking in front.

In the residence, an unfamiliar Wizard who appeared imposing, had come in at an unknown time.

"Teacher Zado!"

Merlin's eyes shone with joy. This unfamiliar Wizard before them was Merlin's teacher, Arcane City's Legend-in-residence, a powerful Wizard who had created five Maxims – Legend Zado!

"Heh, Merlin, as expected of my disciple. Tell me, what happened? You've only been out for a while, and already you've stirred up so much trouble? Earlier, I noticed Legend Sith outside, guarding the door furiously. His expression of sky-high resentment really made me wonder, what did you do to anger him?"

Legend Zado wore a humorless smile, which actually made Merlin relieved. At least, from Legend Zado's tone, he did not seem to think that Legend Sith was much of a threat…

Therefore, Merlin sent away the Wizards of the Pavilion of Rarities, and carefully narrated the entire story of the Satsuma Dimension.

Chapter 557: Brothers

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"It's been so many days. Elder Brother should be here soon. Humph, once he arrives, we'll be able to exert pressure on the Pavilion of Rarities, and make them hand over Merlin and Luce!"

Legend Sith, who had been waiting outside the Pavilion of Rarities all this while, directed his gaze at the Pavilion of Rarities. His eyes flashed coldly. He was pulling out all stops, not because Merlin and Luce had gotten a few million elemental crystal stones but to maintain the secret of the Satsuma Dimension.

There was far too much at stake here. He must not let any other Legendary Wizards know about this. Thus, he needed to kill Merlin and Luce as soon as possible to guard this secret.

Just as Legend Sith was waiting patiently, a figure suddenly flew out from the Pavilion of Rarities.

"What? He dares to come out?"

Legend Sith's gaze sharpened. Was his target unable to stand it any longer? However, he noticed that Wizard Luce still had not come out.

"Humph, no matter what scheme they're hatching, I'll capture him before anything else!"

Legend Sith knew that Merlin dared to come out alone, not because he was crazy but because he had some plan. Still, he did not overthink it. Since Merlin had shown himself, he would act immediately.

"Boom!"

A giant hand immediately took shape from the castle, and instantly enclosed Merlin, making him unable to move a single muscle.

This was something Legend Sith had set up during his long time outside. Once Merlin and Luce walked out, it would be near impossible for them to go back or even take one more step.

Looking at Merlin's constant wriggling body, Legend Sith laughed heartily. "Haha, since you've come out, do you still think you can go back?"

The entire exterior of the Pavilion of Rarities was sealed off by Legend Sith. Once Merlin and Luce appeared, it would be difficult for them to return inside. This was the case for Merlin now as he was trapped in the binding.

"Heh heh heh…"

Suddenly, chilling laughter sounded all around. Even though the area was sealed, this voice still rang out everywhere.

"Sith, how grand you look! Since when do you dare to attack my disciple?"

A voice spoke breezily, accompanied by a flame arm which crashed heavily into Legend Sith's giant arm. Instantly, the surrounding bindings were released, and Merlin regained his freedom of movement. He immediately retreated, and entered the Pavilion of Rarities once more.

Merlin's function was merely to lure out Legend Sith.

"It's you, Legend Zado?"

Legend Sith's eyes widened with indescribable dread. Before this, he had thought that Merlin was Legend of Darkness, Oflas'"prey" but he had never imagined that he was Legend Zado's disciple.

Legend Zado was a Great Legend with five Maxims, far beyond his abilities. If Legend Zado advanced one step further, and became an Honored Legend, he would be second only to the Great Kings.

Below them, many Spell Casters had also noticed Legend Zado who suddenly appeared from within the Pavilion of Rarities.

"Legend Zado had appeared… How exciting. Legend Sith and Legend Zado seemed to be in a standoff. Surely it's not just because of those two mysterious Spell Casters!"

"That's right. The two Great Legends are so powerful, especially Legend Zado, who's just below an Honored Legend. He's the preeminent Legendary Wizard. He's always been protective but it's impossible that he would act against Legend Sith just because of this. There must be a reason."

Naturally, these Spell Casters knew of Legend Zado. As the mightiest Legendary Wizard below the Honored Legends, Zado's name was well known throughout the Spell Caster civilization. Some Honored Legends were not even as influential as Legend Zado.

This was because once Legend Zado became an Honored Legend, he would be the top Honored Legend with a chance of becoming a Great King!

The Spell Caster civilization was now countless times stronger than it had been when Spell Casters first stepped out of the Glorious Land. Although the birth of a Great Legend was something significant, it was no longer a big deal.

Only the birth of an Honored Legend would affect the entire Spell Caster civilization. However, this was nothing in comparison to a Great King. If a Great King was born, that was truly a conclusive indication of one's strength!

Legend Zado had always been thought of having the potential to become a Great King.

Seeing Legend Zado, Legend Sith said hurriedly, "Great Legend Zado, this is all a misunderstanding! Wizard Merlin is actually your disciple – if I had known, of course, I wouldn't have dared to attack…"

Nonetheless, no matter what Legend Sith said, Legend Zado was unmoved. His body even began to exude the five fearsome Maxims, sealing the surrounding space, and entrapping Legend Sith.

Sith widened his eyes as if he had thought of a scary possibility. "Legend Zado, Merlin has told you about the Satsuma Dimension? D*mn it, you're planning to kill me and monopolize the dimension for yourself!"

At this point, Legend Sith understood everything. Legend Zado had arrived long ago but had stayed inside. Instead, he allowed Merlin to leave the Pavilion of Rarities to tempt Legend Sith into leaving the castle.

If Legend Sith was hiding in the castle, even Legend Zado would have to go through a lot of trouble just to kill Sith. However, now that Sith was lured out, his escape route was sealed off by Zado. This was all planned to directly target Sith.

As he came to this conclusion, Legend Sith was finally afraid. After becoming a Great Legend, he still had not felt the threat of death but faced with Legend Zado now, a powerless feeling was born in him for the first time. The disparity between two Maxims and five Maxims was far too great. The top Legend below the Honored Legends – this was not just a hollow reputation! It represented genuine, formidable might!

With fear branching in his heart, Legend Sith finally experienced what Merlin and Luce had felt. He had such an enormous fortune in his grasp but was still frightened out of his wits.

The Satsuma Dimension was something far beyond the grasp of a two-Maxim Legend like him!

"Bang!"

Legend Sith's two Maxims – Wind-type and Fire-type – was now immediately crushed to smithereens by Legend Zado's five Maxims.

This was an insurmountable gap. Each addition of a Maxim would increase a Legendary Wizard's power ten times over. Therefore, a Legend with two Maxims would find it difficult to transcend their level, and challenge a Legend with three Maxims. It seemed as if they were all Legendary Wizards but the difference between them was even greater than the difference between a Ninth-level Spell Caster and a Great Wizard.

Seeing his Maxims shatter before his eyes, and that he was about to be crushed directly by Legend Zado's five Maxims, Legend Sith was terrified to the maximum. He cried out furiously, "Zado, my elder brother is Legend Arnie, and he's reaching soon…"

"Legend Arnie?"

Zado blanked out for a moment. This name was far too familiar.

"Bang!"

The five Maxims crashed heavily into Sith but Legend Zado did not celebrate. His eyes glinted in focus as he stared at the back of Legend Sith.

Traces of a scorching force began to pervade the thin air. Legend Zado's five Maxims began to tremble, unable to suppress these wisps of scorching energy. This was a Flame Maxim but not an ordinary one. It was a Flame Maxim of peak understanding!

"Legend Arnie? I didn't expect that. I really didn't. You and Legend Sith are brothers?"

The corner of the Legend Zado's mouth twisted slightly. He looked at Legend Arnie who calmly stood behind Sith, dressed in a golden robe.

Legend Arnie was a mighty Honored Legend who had succeeded with a Flame Maxim! At the same time, he was a plunderer whom everyone loathed but they dared not say anything against him!

The moment everyone saw Legend Arnie, they flared up in rage. Merlin could feel their endless anger and grievances, rapidly bubbling over and diffusing through the entire Shkedu Dimension.

"Arnie, it's Legend Arnie! Legend Sith and Legend Arnie really hid their relationship so well. So, Legend Sith is also a despicable plunderer. How repulsive!"

"Now, I finally know why so many masterless dimensions, which were recently discovered by a Great Legend, would inexplicably be attacked by Legend Arnie, who robbed them of their Elemental Origins, resulting in barren dimensions. So, Legend Sith is behind the scenes, secretly notifying Legend Arnie."

"Legend Sith is even more wicked. That pair of brothers are two sides of the same coin. Who knew how many dimensions they've plundered. It's not surprising that Legend Arnie could advance his abilities so quickly, and became an Honored Legend!"

The entire Shkedu Dimension was in an uproar. Legend Arnie was a plunderer abhorred by everyone. Any Great Legend who had signed the Legends' Accord would not feel too kindly toward a plunderer.

Usually, plunderers would keep away from this prosperous dimension.

Nevertheless, although plunderers were universally hated, they were still a member of the Spell Caster civilization. During the wars against foreign tribes, plunderers would join in as well. Even if they had not signed the Legends' Accord, the Ultimate Arcane Wizards would not act against plunderers, which indicated their silent acceptance of plunderers.

Therefore, a plunderer like Arnie was still an Honored Legend, and no one was willing to offend him!

"Elder Brother, you've finally arrived!"

Legend Sith was now caught in both surprise and relief. Legend Arnie had come just at the right time. A little later, Sith would have died at Zado's hands. Therefore, Sith's gaze toward Zado was filled with hatred as he growled, "Elder Brother, that Zado nearly killed me!"

"Shut up!"

Arnie yelled thunderously, startling Sith so much that he opened his mouth but dared not speak.

Legend Arnie was brimming with exasperation. This time, after exposing Legend Sith's identity, he could only become a plunderer like this. From now on, Arnie had lost a source of information, which was a huge loss.

Nonetheless, for the Satsuma Dimension, exposing Legend Sith was worth it as well. It was just that this matter must not spread to more Wizards, not even Legend Zado!

The moment Legend Zado saw Arnie appeared, his heart sank a little. Legend Arnie was a vicious, heartless plunderer, not tolerated by the mainstream Spell Caster world in the first place. Perhaps others would be apprehensive of Zado's wide network of allies, in addition to the fact that he was a Wizard-in-residence at Arcane City but a plunderer like Arnie would not care about that!

"Swoosh."

Legend Arnie turned his gaze around, and narrowed his eyes as he glared at Legend Zado. The atmosphere between them was tense, and the surrounding air was filled with a grim force!

Chapter 558: The Difference of A Single Step!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"You want to kill me?"

Zado's expression darkened. He knew exactly what Legend Arnie was planning just from his looks.

For that huge lode, and more than one billion elemental crystal stones, even Honored Legends would go crazy for it. In order to get that lode, Arnie did not even hesitate to expose his relationship with Sith. It showed just how much he wanted the lode.

"I'm a Wizard-in-residence at Arcane City!"

Zado heavily emphasized his identity as a "Wizard-in-residence". If plunderers were lawless and did not care about any threats, then it was precisely "Arcane City" that they had to revere.

That was because it was founded by the three strongest Arcane Wizards, the strongest existences in the entire Spell Caster civilization!

Potential Wizards might not be paid attention to by Ultimate Arcane Wizards but Wizards-in-residence was regarded as a core social class in Arcane City. Nominally, they were even Wizards-in-residence invited by Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

Legend Arnie fell silent, and he slightly furrowed his brows. Indeed, he was planning on killing Wizard Zado earlier. Legend Zado's so-called relationships, potential, and identity were all inconsequential to Legend Arnie.

Even if he had potential, that was all after-the-fact. Now, Legend Arnie could easily suppress Zado. In other words, he had the absolute upper hand. As a plunderer, he had already committed the most abominable acts. Killing Zado would not be a big deal.

However, Zado's identity as a Wizard-in-residence in Arcane City made Legend Arnie slightly afraid. He would be fine if the Ultimate Arcane Wizards did not do anything but the moment they did, he would not have anywhere to escape to. There would only be death left for him.

In the past, there was a plunderer with overflowing strength, and became a Supreme King! In order to plunder the Elemental Origins, he even destroyed dozens of prosperous dimensions.

That plunderer's actions finally roused public anger, and countless Great Legends gathered in Arcane City to request the Ultimate Arcane Wizards to act.

In the end, among the three Great Arcane Wizards, Arcane Wizard Setoh agreed to the Great Legends' requests, and personally took action. The Supreme King plunderer, hiding in a remote area in the vast Void Zone spanning countless dimensions, was killed in an instant.

This was an Ultimate Arcane Wizard. Ordinary Legends and even Great Kings could not ignore time and space in the Void Zone. After all, there was no time and space in the Void Zone. If a Wizard wanted to arrive quickly, he would have to rely on casting tools to fly there.

Only Ultimate Arcane Wizards could seemingly ignore this limitation. Ultimate Arcane Wizards seemed to be comprehending Maxims as well, but their Maxims covered millions and millions of dimensions. Even if it was the Void Zone, it was under their Maxim.

No one could clearly say how strong an Ultimate Arcane Wizard was. After all, there had only been three Ultimate Arcane Wizards in the history of the Spell Caster civilization. There was still a lot of mysteries regarding them.

Therefore, as a plunderer, Legend Arnie could afford not to care about others but he was still a little scared of a Wizard-in-residence of Arcane City as it involved an Ultimate Arcane Wizard. No matter how strong a plunderer was, if they were targeted by an Ultimate Arcane Wizard, it would be useless no matter where they fled.

After muttering for a moment, Legend Arnie stared at Legend Zado and said, "Zado, sign the agreement!"

Then, Legend Arnie took out a contract. The contents were very simple; Legend Zado was not allowed to spread any information about the lodes of elemental crystal stones in the Satsuma Dimension.

"Phew…"

Legend Zado sighed in relief. As long as he signed the agreement, that meant that Legend Arnie was still afraid. Legend Zado also detested plunderers. Plunderers were just like parasites. Aside from being helpful to some foreign tribes, the rest of the time, they were just destroying the root of the Spell Caster civilization.

"I can sign the contract. However, my disciple Merlin will have to sign it too!"

Legend Zado looked at Merlin in the Pavilion of Rarities. As long as Merlin also signed the contract, Legend Zado would not take action toward the other party. Otherwise, he would not rest assured.

"Hm?"

Legend Arnie looked at Merlin and said coldly, "Those two must die!"

"What? Legend Arnie, Merlin is my disciple. If I can't even protect my disciple, what's the point of being an Honored Legend? What right will I have to stand among other Legends?"

Legend Zado's expression also became cold. If he left safely today but Merlin died, he would no longer have any place among the Legends. He would become a laughingstock among the Legends.

Furthermore, Zado valued Merlin very much, so naturally, he would not let Merlin die just like that.

"There's no room for negotiating about that! Zado, my patience has its limits. If you don't sign the contract, neither of you will be able to walk away."

Legend Arnie's tone was full of undisguised threat.

At this time, Legend Zado also sneered. Suddenly, he raised his voice and shouted, "Legend Arnie, this is the Shkedu Dimension. It's a dimension that became prosperous after signing the Legends' Accord. Plunderers have never been welcomed here!"

Legend Zado's intention was completely obvious in the vast Void Zone. That was because he felt the Mind Powers of several Honored Legends.

Most of these Honored Legends among the nine Honored Legends in the Shkedu Dimension. Since something so large happened in the Shkedu Dimension, they could not just remain indifferent.

As if knowing what Zado was planning, Legend Arnie frowned. "Since you're not willing to sign the agreement, looks like you've already sensed that they'll help you."

"Boom!"

Without warning, Legend Arnie acted. His first move was his strongest Flame Maxim. The entire sky seemed to burn in blazing red, and even the Void itself started to collapse.

The essence of Flames was destructive! Burning flames, especially flames that were condensed to the extreme, was astonishing in destructive power. Legend Arnie controlled the flames and shot straight toward Legend Zado.

"Five-Elemental Maxim, go!"

Legend Zado had prepared long ago. No matter how quickly Legend Arnie acted, he still rapidly released his Five-Elemental Maxim, which quickly formed a giant Maxim shield that emitted five-colored lights. It looked exceedingly beautiful.

When the five Maxims consolidated, it could release terrifying power. That was the reason why the Legendary Wizard standing above all ordinary Legends – Legend Zado – was so renowned in the entire Spell Caster civilization.

Furthermore, Legend Zado's Earth Maxim was just shy of reaching the pinnacle of comprehension.

It was just that little but the disparity was as wide as heaven and earth!

When Legend Arnie's Flame Maxim covered the five Maxims, the latter shattered instantly. It could not resist at all and was completely crushed.

"What? It couldn't resist it. It couldn't even slow it down…"

Legend Zado's face paled. Ever since he consolidated the five Maxims, no one in the Spell Caster civilization could stand up to him. When he fought against three Legends with four Maxims, he had easily won.

He had even felt that even if there was a difference between an Honored Legend and him, it would not be that large.

However, now, Legend Arnie's Flame Maxim had shattered Legend Zado's fantasy. He used to think that he was extremely strong with his five Maxims but against Wizard Arnie's Flame Maxim, there was no difference as if he only had one Maxim.

It was just a difference of a single step but it was a vast insurmountable gap!

Wizard Arnie's turbulent Flame Maxim blanketed the surroundings, and surged forward to engulf Legend Zado. At this time, everyone could feel Legend Arnie's killing intent. He was serious about killing Legend Zado. The fear he had toward Arcane City before was completely thrown to the back of his mind.

After all, he was a plunderer – a plunderer who did not care about any sort of consequences!

Chapter 559: Arrival

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a resplendent main hall, four Spell Casters were silently staring at an image in mid-air with grave expressions.

"What do you think we should do? The Shkedu Dimension is controlled by the nine of us. We cannot allow anyone to damage the prosperity of the Shkedu Dimension!"

A black-robed Wizard said lowly.

These Spell Casters were the highest controllers of the Shkedu Dimension – four of the nine Honored Legends. They naturally sensed the movements in the Shkedu Dimension but did not immediately step forward, and instead secretly observed.

"That's right, the Shkedu Dimension's prosperity mustn't be damaged by anyone! Plunderers are detestable but look closely. Legend Arnie isn't breaking any of the Shkedu Dimension's rules. He even extended his Maxim to the surroundings to guard against the aftermath of his battle with Legend Zado."

Another Great Legend said with bright eyes.

"I agree. Although plunderers are hateful, he didn't break any rules. We shouldn't interfere!"

Among the four Honored Legends, there were already two who did not agree to interfere with Arnie's and Zado's dispute. It seemed like they were being partial since Legend Arnie was not breaking any rules. Hence, they would not interfere.

However, everyone understood in their hearts that this was just an excuse. The true reason why they did not want to interfere was that Legend Arnie was not easy to deal with.

Although there were four Honored Legends, even if they took action, it was difficult to say if they could defeat Legend Arnie. If they offended this Honored Legend plunderer, the entire Shkedu Dimension would be brought to ruin.

Almost every Spell Caster hated plunderers but they were also afraid of them. That was because when plunderers went mad, they would have no scruples at all.

There was once an ordinary plunderer who went mad, who did not care about anything, and destroyed several dimensions. He was killed in the end but the ruined dimensions could never be recovered again.

Legend Arnie was still a powerful Honored Legend. Anyone would have misgivings about facing a plunderer like him, and the Great Legends of the Shkedu Dimension were no exception.

"Then, what should we do now?"

The four Great Legends exchanged looks, and turned back to the image. Legend Zado was absolutely disadvantaged. Then, the leading Great Legend bellowed, "We'll wait. We'll wait until a victor appears. If Legend Zado is unlucky, and dies in the Shkedu Dimension, we'll inform Arcane City…"

After saying that, the four Honored Legends grew silent. This was the most sensible course of action but it was not in agreement with their identities of the ones who controlled the Shkedu Dimension. However, against such a powerful plunderer who could become mad, this approach was the safest way."D*mn it, are those Honored Legends of the Shkedu Dimension not planning to take action?"

The few Mind Powers he had sensed earlier disappeared immediately. Legend Zado's heart chilled but after considering Legend Arnie's identity as a plunderer, he immediately understood.

The Honored Legends of the Shkedu Dimension had already decided not to act. After all, Legend Arnie's actions up till now had been played "by the rules". This made them feel at ease for not interfering.

Legend Zado, who had also sensed the disappearance of the few Mind Powers, revealed a thin smile. "Zado, no one can save you… It's not too late to sign the contract now!"

Holding the absolute upper hand, Legend Arnie once again mentioned the agreement. Although he was a plunderer, he did not go mad yet. After all, Legend Zado was involved with Arcane City. He did not want to take the risk unless it was a last resort.

Legend Zado's entire body seemed to be suppressed by the Flame Maxim. His Five-Elemental Maxim had crumbled, and he was no match for Legend Arnie.

In the Pavilion of Rarities, Merlin saw the clash between Legend Zado and Legend Arnie. Even though he was just a seventh-level Spell Caster, he could tell that Legend Zado was at a very disadvantageous spot.

The Great Honored Legends belonged to the absolute top among thousands of dimensions. Many powerful gods were slain, and suppressed by Honored Legends.

When fighting foreign tribes, Honored Legends always led countless Great Legends to battle. A unit led by an Honored Legend could destroy an ordinary foreign civilization.

Thus, even though Legend Zado was a Great Legend with five Maxims, there was still an indisputable gap between him and an Honored Legend.

Now, Merlin had some regrets. If he had known earlier, he would have asked the Wizards in the Pavilion of Rarities to inform the Blackfire King as well while informing Legend Zado.

However, it was too late now!

"So? Have you thought about it?"

Legend Arnie asked casually.

"Hahaha, Arnie, does a plunderer like you think that everyone who faces death will act the same as you? Merlin is my disciple. So long as I live, you won't touch him!"

Seeing Legend Zado's determined look, Legend Arnie's expression turned cold as he said, "Fool!"

Legend Arnie could not understand Legend Zado's current thoughts but he also knew that making Legend Zado sign the contract was not viable anymore. He no longer had any more options.

"Zado, you're the most foolish Legend I've ever met!"

Legend Arnie scoffed coldly, and swept his arm down. The terrifying Flame Matrix started to surge wildly, covering the skies, and engulfed Legend Zado.

"Legend Zado, just sign it!"

At this time, Merlin's face was pale as he bit his lip. Legend Arnie seemed to have deliberately let Merlin hear his conversation with Legend Zado. For the first time, he deeply regretted informing Legend Zado, and plunging him into this crisis.

Legend Zado was at a dangerous juncture now, which also made Merlin completely frantic. He shouted, "Legend Arnie, if you kill Legend Zado, I'll immediately spread the matter of the Satsuma Dimension to the entire Shkedu Dimension!"

Merlin's words continue to reverberate in the Void. Arnie froze slightly, and hesitated but a wave of monstrous anger immediately emanated from his body.

"Go ahead and try! Your voice can't reach outside the Pavilion of Rarities now. If you say anything, at most, I'll just destroy the entire Pavilion of Rarities."

Legend Arnie's eyes were cold, and his tone carried a frigid iciness.

"You aren't afraid of making enemies out of the entire Shkedu Dimension?"

Merlin's heart trembled. He did not think that Legend Arnie would be so ferocious.

"Of course, I have apprehensions. I won't make nine Honored Legends my enemies for no reason! However, you dared to threaten me, so it doesn't matter anymore. Besides, it doesn't matter if a Pavilion of Rarities is destroyed. Don't forget, I'm a plunderer as well as an Honored Legend! Would the Shkedu Dimension unceasingly try to hunt me down just for Pavilion of Rarities?"

Everything seemed to be in Legend Arnie's palms. His eyes looked down at Merlin from above.

"Die!"

The raging flames drowned Legend Zado in the blink of an eye. Legend Arnie had also completed his preparations. If Merlin dared to speak, he would dare to directly burn down the entire Pavilion of Rarities.

This was the strength and madness of a plunderer!

"No matter what, I don't believe that you'll be able to isolate yourself from being sniffed out by the Shkedu Dimension's Honored Legends…"

Merlin gritted his teeth, and shouted. He knew that the moment he revealed this secret, Legend Arnie would fly into a rage, and kill him instantly.

However, Legend Zado was in imminent peril, so Merlin had no other choices.

"Hmph, Arnie, what great power! Since when has a plunderer dared to appear so brazenly in a prosperous dimension?"

A cold voice sounded in the air.

The sky in the distance seemed to darken in an instant, and from the darkness, a raging fire continued to burn wildly.

A figure flashing with overwhelming life force followed the endless darkness, stepping on the turbulent flame, and instantly arrived!

"Boom!"

Endless darkness instantly enveloped the entire sky of the Shkedu Dimension, causing everyone to be unable to see their surroundings. Even Great Legends felt that it was pitch-dark. Their senses and even their Mind Power were completely useless.

This was "darkness" in the true sense of the word.

Only the Honored Legends, relying on their own comprehension of the Maxim, could tear open the darkness, and not be affected by the endless darkness.

"Bang!"

A ball of flames exploded, and Legend Arnie immediately ripped apart the darkness. However, when he saw the situation clearly, Legend Zado had already escaped from his Maxim, and was standing beside the mysterious Wizard.

"Darkness Maxim and Flame Maxim… Both Maxims have been consolidated to the extreme. I didn't expect that the great Darkfire King would have come as well!"

Legend Arnie's expression was ashen, and a trace of "fear" appeared for the first time in his eyes. He was a savage plunderer and did not fear anyone, not even the nine Honored Legends of the Shkedu Dimension.

However, the Wizard standing before him was the fearsome Supreme King — the Darkfire King!

"Darkfire King, you're also planning to interfere?"

Legend Arnie seemed to be terrified, and even took a few steps back. He never thought that the King of Arcane City would come too.

Legend Zado, who had just escaped death, opened his mouth, and looked at the Darkfire King. However, he did not say anything, and simply had a complicated expression. He also did not know why the Darkfire King would appear at this place now. He did not think that the Blackfire King had come here especially for him. After all, in Arcane City, he had only heard of the Blackfire King, and only saw him from far away once. They had not even talked to each other before.

The Blackfire King ignored Legend Arnie, and instead looked at Merlin, and said with a displeased voice, "Merlin, if I hadn't decided to come to take a look after finding out that Legend Zado had come here because of you, I'm afraid that you might have been caught up in a disaster now! Since when is my disciple allowed to be threatened?"

The moment the Darkfire King's voice fell, the surroundings instantly grew silent.

Disciple? Merlin was the Darkfire King's disciple?

When Legend Zado hurried over, it was because Merlin was his disciple. However, Merlin was also the Blackfire King's disciple. This made everyone feel extremely jealous.

The Darkfire King was a Supreme King who was stronger than the Great Honored Legends!

"Teacher, didn't you say not to easily reveal that you're my teacher? That's why…"

Merlin finally let out a long sigh of relief. He had never thought that the Blackfire King would rush over so quickly. However, the Blackfire King made it just in time. Otherwise, Legend Zado and he would really be in danger.

Legend Arnie looked meaningfully at the Blackfire King as well as Merlin and said, "The Great Blackfire King, since Merlin is your disciple, then I'll admit my fault. Sith, let's go!"

Legend Arnie wanted to take Legend Sith and leave immediately, but suddenly, the entire sky turned into darkness and trapped Sith and Legend Arnie.

"Hm? Blackfire King, don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Wizard Arnie roared. He knew that the Blackfire King would not just leave the matter at that. If it were any other Kings, perhaps they would have some misgivings. However, the Blackfire King had always been short-tempered, and acted however he liked.

In the past, because of a fit of rage, he had single-handedly destroyed a few foreign civilizations. As a result, he had obtained the title of a Supreme King after just one battle.

"Boom!"

Flames surged to the sky and tore apart the Darkness Maxim, turning them into flames covering the sky, and burned toward the Blackfire King.

"Hmph!"

The Blackfire King scoffed coldly, and released his Flame Maxim. Two Flame Maxims transformed into two giant beasts of fire which rampaged wildly. The aftershocks spread in all directions, and the few nearby Spell Casters who had no way to defend against it were instantly burnt to ash.

Such a large movement naturally greatly damaged the Shkedu Dimension. However, the four Honored Legends still did not reveal themselves.

The four Honored Legends were currently observing the Blackfire King and Legend Arnie's every move. However, when they saw their battle and the destruction it caused, they could only exchange looks, and laugh bitterly.

"It's the Blackfire King… I never would have thought that Merlin is the Blackfire King's disciple!"

"The Blackfire King has easily suppressed Wizard Arnie. Look, the aftershocks between them are so extreme that it almost razed the land hundreds of miles around them to the ground."

"That's deliberate. The Blackfire King is expressing his discontent with us, so he didn't control the aftershocks and let them damage the Shkedu Dimension."

The four Honored Legends' faces seemed to express agony. Only the Blackfire King would do something like that. Previously, when Merlin and Zado were in peril, the Honored Legends of the Shkedu Dimension did not act, which naturally displeased the Blackfire King.

This battle's aftershocks had ruined a portion of the Shkedu Dimension. It was also because of his resent for them!

However, even though they knew that the Blackfire King was doing this on purpose, they could only endure. The Blackfire King was not someone they could provoke. All they could do now was hope that the Blackfire King would quickly end the battle, and vent the displeasure in his heart, and let the Shkedu Dimension suffer fewer damages.

However, their wishes were doomed to fail. Currently, the Blackfire King was still using the Darkness Maxim to control the surroundings to trap Sith and Legend Arnie while they were using purely Flame Maxims to fight wildly.

Flame Maxims were Maxims with extreme destructive capabilities. The two Wizards had already comprehended their Flame Maxims to the pinnacle, so their strength would not differ much. In a large battle of their Flame Maxims, it would be difficult to say who would win.

As a result, where the two people fought, almost all the places were turned into ruins. So much so that if they really did not hold back anymore, the entire dimension would be blown to smithereens.

Fortunately, although the Blackfire King was furious, and deliberately allowed the battle to cause large-scale damage to the Shkedu Dimension, it was to express his dissatisfaction with the Shkedu Dimension's Honored Legends' inaction. However, he still practiced discretion, and would not blow up the entire Shkedu Dimension.

On the other hand, Merlin and Luce did not see those clues. They only felt that the two were madly fighting, their Maxims twisting around their bodies. That power, although they could feel it, they could not even get close to it. Otherwise, it would directly crush the Spell Models in their bodies.

"Teacher Zado, is Teacher Blackfire in any danger?"

Merlin frowned while asking. Although he knew that the Blackfire King was slightly stronger, a merciless plunderer could not be underestimated. Merlin also could not tell who held the advantage in that battle as well as who would win.

"Danger?"

Legend Zado laughed. He looked around and said softly, "Haha, how could the Blackfire King be in danger? Don't even bring up the fact that there's only one Legend Arnie. Even if there were two or three, they would still stand no chance against the Blackfire King! How would a Great King be defeated by an ordinary Legend? Right now, the Blackfire King naturally holds the upper hand. He's just using his battle with Legend Arnie as an excuse to punish the few Honored Legends of the Shkedu Dimension."

"Punish?"

Merlin saw that the Shkedu Dimension was damaged beyond recognition but the nine Honored Legends in the Shkedu Dimension still did not appear. He then nodded his head as if figuring it out.

"Oh no, if this goes on, our Shkedu Dimension will be completely destroyed in a day."

"Even if it's not destroyed, we no longer have any way to maintaining the prosperity of the Shkedu Dimension… D*mn it, if we had known that he was the Blackfire King's disciple, how would we have dared to stand idly by?"

"The Blackfire King doesn't have any intention to stop at all. Now that it's come to this, we can only act!"

The four Honored Legends exchanged looks. They could not sit around any longer. If this continued, the entire Shkedu Dimension would be ruined. They had to act.

Of course, they would not be acting against the Blackfire King but helping him kill Legend Arnie. That way, the Blackfire King would not have any reason to destroy the Shkedu Dimension.

Thus, the figures of the four Honored Legends who were overseeing the Shkedu Dimension flashed, and they entered the Spatial Passage.

The four figures instantly appeared above the air between the Blackfire King's and Legend Arnie's battle. They looked at the Blackfire King and hurriedly shouted, "Blackfire King, we've arrived late! We shall help the Blackfire King against this despicable plunderer!"

Saying that, the four Honored Legends released their own Maxims. Four terrifying Maxims at the pinnacle of comprehension surged. The Shkedu Dimension seemed to be on the brink of collapse, almost unable to withstand so many terrifying shocks from the Maxims.

The Blackfire King glanced at the four Honored Legends and said coldly, "That's not necessary. If you step in, this dimension won't be able to handle it. At that time, if the dimension collapses, it'll be your fault, not mine."

"This…"

The four Honored Legends' expression twisted. If they did not intervene and the Blackfire King continued like this, even if the Shkedu Dimension did not collapse, there would be nothing left anyway.

"Boom!"

While the four Honored Legends were caught awkwardly, the life force around the Blackfire King's body violently increased. The dense Darkness Maxim formed a giant hand which faintly fused together with the Flame Maxim.

"Bang!"

The giant hand gripped firmly, and Legend Arnie's Flame Maxim was shattered as easily as brittle glass. Then, it viciously slapped against Legend Arnie, and he was instantly turned into a bloody splat.

"Whiz."

A trace of almost transparent flame tried to pass through the layers of darkness in the blink of an eye. The Blackfire King scoffed coldly again, and with another grab with the giant hand, it directly caught that transparent flame in its hand.

"Trying to run? In the past, Arcane Wizards said that although you plunderers destroyed the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization on various levels, you're still a member among the Spell Caster. Especially when battling with foreign civilizations, you've made a lot of contributions… However, in my opinion, all plunderers deserve to die!"

"No, Darkfire King, please don't kill me… I know there's a Sin Corps in Arcane City. Its members have all committed great crimes and were caught by Arcane City. I'm willing to serve in the Sin Corps for ten thousand years!"

This Flame Maxim itself was unexpectedly Legend Arnie. Even if his bones were ground to dust, he would still be able to exist. This was one of the greatest powers of an Honored Legend. Once they understood a Maxim to its extreme, it could become their foundation and their consciousness would be held in the Maxim. As long as the Maxim did not disappear, they would not die.

They were similar to gods in this point, whereby if their divinity was not wiped out, the god would not die!

However, only Maxims that had been comprehended to the maximum would be able to withstand a Great Legend's consciousness, and not break the mind.

"You also know about the Sin Corps? An Honored Legend really is formidable… No matter what, I'm also a member of Arcane City. Putting you in the Sin Corps will also be a contribution to Arcane City. Hence, I'll spare you for today!"

The Blackfire King's lips pulled down into a sneer. Then, the large hand suppressed Legend Arnie's Maxim in a grip, and prepared to bring him back to Arcane City to put him into Arcane City's most terrifying Sin Corps.

Chapter 561: Something Is Wrong

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wizard Arnie was suppressed, and was prepared to be brought to the Sin Corps. When the Blackfire Lord's stare moved to Legend Sith, Legend Sith also hurriedly said, "The Blackfire Lord, I'm also willing to serve in the Sin Corps!"

"Good."

The Blackfire Lord stared coldly at the Shkedu Dimension's Honoured Legends. Those Honoured Legends also showed bitter expressions, appearing quite helpless. The entire Shkedu Dimension seemed to have suffered a calamity. Even if they wanted to recover the prosperity of the past, it would require at least a few decades.

It could be considered to be an undeserved disaster for the Shkedu Dimension!

"Merlin, Legend Zado, let's go."

Now, in the entire Shkedu Dimension, only the Pavilion of Rarities as well as a few places were not damaged. Thus, when the three entered the Pavilion of Rarities and the Wizards in it saw that it was the Blackfire Lord, they naturally did not dare to obstruct the path, and immediately arranged for a quiet room.

"Tell me, what exactly caused this?"

After the three had sat down, the Blackfire Lord's strict gaze stared coldly at Merlin. He naturally knew that this matter was not ordinary, otherwise, it would not have attracted Legend Arnie.

Although he was strong, as a plunderer, Legend Arnie usually stayed away from prosperous dimension to avoid unnecessary trouble. However, earlier, Legend Arnie did not hesitate to act in the Shkedu Dimension. He must have had an unknown reason.

Merlin muttered for a moment, but he knew that this matter could not be concealed, so he explained the matter in detail. However, when the Blackfire Lord heard that there was a lode of more than one billion elemental crystal stones, even he was moved.

"One billion elemental crystal stones… It was not surprising that Legend Arnie would be attracted. Merlin, Legend Zado, bring me to the Satsuma Dimension to have a look."

Zado seemed to hesitate. He muttered for quite a moment before caving in, and asking, "Blackfire Lord, are you also Merlin's teacher?"

The Blackfire Lord could not suppress his laugh, and nodded. "That's right, I accepted Merlin as my disciple. However, you're still Merlin's teacher. Your Five-Elemental Maxim is very helpful to Merlin. There are other reasons why I chose Merlin as my disciple. What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with sharing a disciple?"

Legend Zado hurriedly laughed. "How could I be dissatisfied? It's just that I'm too pleased with Merlin as a disciple, so if the Blackfire Lord requests that Merlin no longer be my disciple, I'll feel very regretful. After all, in so many years, Merlin was the first Wizard to walk out of my Maxim Subspace…"

"Don't worry. Merlin is my disciple as well as yours!"

Legend Zado was finally relieved. He truly had no confidence to fight a Great Lord for a disciple. He patted Merlin on the shoulder and smiled. "Excellent! Merlin, if you were able to catch the Blackfire Lord's eyes, then your innate talent must be even better than I imagined. However, you can't be overconfident. You still have to rely on yourself in the future. Go then, let's go see that lode of more than one billion elemental crystal stones. Haha, I've never seen such a giant lode before."

A Spell Caster needed a very long time to become a Great Legend, a hundred years at the least. In that very long time, a Spell Caster would have several teachers.

Therefore, Legend Zado's first reaction upon learning that the Blackfire Lord was also Merlin's teacher was to hope that the Blackfire Lord would allow Merlin to continue being his disciple…In the Blackfire Lord's flying ship, Wizard Luce followed along with Merlin and the rest. His current expression was extremely excited. Legend Zado alone had already amazed him. He was a powerful Wizard with five Maxims which was second only to Great Honored Legends.

As for the Blackfire Lord, he was beyond Wizard Luce's imagination. A Supreme King was an existence even stronger than Honored Legends. Many Spell Casters lived their entire lives without ever being able to see a single Great Lord.

In contrast to Wizard Luce's excitement, Merlin was very calm, and placed the black cat Didimoss down. It seemed like its life force was somewhat unstable, and it kept sleeping, causing Merlin to reveal a trace of worry in his expression.

Whether Merlin used Mind Power to provoke it or his hand to nudge it, the black cat Didimoss remained languid. If not for the strong life force emitting from its body, Merlin would have suspected that Didimoss had already died.

The change had happened when Didimoss had swallowed Legend Sith's Wind Maxim in one mouthful. Its current strength was only comparable to an ordinary Legend with one Maxim, but it had devoured Legend Sith's Maxim. It would be heavily injured.

"Teacher, Didimoss still hasn't woken up yet. Do you have any idea why?"

Merlin could not help asking the Blackfire Lord.

The Blackfire Lord looked a Didimoss and mused. "A black cat that reversed the natural order… An example like this is exceedingly rare. The future of a life that has reversed the natural order is impossible to predict. Don't worry. Didimoss itself has a talent for devouring. It's just 'filled' right now, and needs some time to slowly recover. However, it's good that it only swallowed one Maxim. If Sith had attacked with two Maxims, I'm afraid it might have died the moment it swallowed them."

Merlin was relieved after hearing the Blackfire Lord's firm answer, and put Didimoss away.

"We're here. We've reached the Satsuma Dimension!"

Wizard Luce's voice revealed a little excitement. The last time, they fled in panic and confusion, but this time, they boldly returned.

"Oh? This is the Satsuma Dimension? It looks an ordinary dimension."

Legend Zado glanced at the Satsuma Dimension and did not see anything that stood out. The few Wizards flew out from the flying ship, and followed the Blackfire Lord into the dimension.

The Blackfire Lord carefully sensed the Satsuma Dimension, and said calmly, "The Elemental Origin has already been controlled by someone? There aren't any gods here either!"

"Legend Sith must've seized the Elemental Origin after defeating the Satsuma God."

Merlin replied softly.

"Oh? It was seized by Sith? It doesn't matter. We'll snatch the Elemental Origin back!"

When the Blackfire Lord's voice fell, the entire Satsuma Dimension seemed to turn on its head. A peculiar ripple spread and jolted the surroundings.

At the same time, Merlin keenly sensed that the Elemental Origin of the dimension was rapidly approaching the Blackfire Lord.

"Deprive!"

The Blackfire Lord barked lightly, and the Elemental Origin immediately shivered, and Legend Sith's mind imprint immediately disappeared. The Blackfire Lord had easily controlled the Elemental Origin.

This made Merlin very astonished. He knew that once an Elemental Origin was controlled, it would be very difficult to deprive it. Even plunderers could only refine Elemental Origins. They could not easily seize control of the Elemental Origin.

Only by killing the Spell Caster or god who controlled the Elemental Origin could the Elemental Origin be obtained. However, the Blackfire Lord had easily derived the Elemental Origin in Legend Sith's control, and forcibly "plundered" the Elemental Origin without harming the Elemental Origin itself.

Perhaps this was the difference between an Honored Legend and an ordinary Legend. Being able to comprehend a Maxim to the extreme would naturally produce some incredible changes. The difference between an ordinary Legend and an Honored Legend was even larger than the difference between a Great Wizard and a Legend.

"Teacher, that lode is in front. Let's go take a look."

Merlin said softly.

"In front?"

The Blackfire Lord lightly closed his eyes. By controlling the Elemental Origin, it was as if he had controlled the entire dimension. He used the Elemental Origin to examine the Satsuma Dimension.

"Hm? Something's wrong!"

The Blackfire Lord suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of horror appeared on his normally calm face.

"What's wrong, Teacher? Is there something strange?"

Merlin looked at the changes in the Blackfire Lord's expression, and then looked around but he did not find anything special.

However, Merlin's failure to realize it did not mean that the Blackfire Lord did not realize it either. His expression was solemn as he pointed to the ground. "There's something odd here. Did you think that lode only had one billion elemental crystal stones? You didn't control the Elemental Origin, you naturally don't know this, but the truth this entire dimension is just one gigantic elemental crystal stone lode! However, some places are buried deep while others are shallow. The lode you found must be one of the shallow ones, which was why you've discovered it."

"What? The entire dimension is an elemental crystal stone?"

Merlin, Luce, and Legend Zado exclaimed at the same time. What did it mean that the entire dimension was an elemental crystal stone? It was not just one billion now but ten billion, a hundred billion… It would be hard to count!

The entire Satsuma Dimension was an elemental crystal stone dimension. Buried underground were all elemental crystal stones. No one knew how exactly this dimension formed, and why there were so many elemental crystal stones.

"You don't believe me?"

The Blackfire Lord laughed coldly, and clenched his fist.

"Rumble."

The entire earth seemed to shake, and at the same time, a giant crack appeared on the ground. From the crack, giant chunks of elemental crystal stone ores started bursting out.

"There really is a lode?"

This time, Legend Zado, Merlin, and Luce all believed what the Blackfire Lord had said. The entire Satsuma Dimension was a giant elemental crystal stone lode.

Such a large sum of wealth was beyond anyone's imagination. Although the spell casters' organization had rapidly expanded, and possessed myriads of dimensions, a dimension that had such a large lode had never been discovered before.

"Teacher, what do you plan on doing with the Satsuma Dimension?"

Merlin glanced at the Blackfire Lord, and asked softly.

A humorless smile appeared on the Blackfire Lord's face as he looked at Merlin and Zado, and he muttered, "Such a large elemental crystal stone lode is not a blessing but a misfortune. In your hands or even in other Honored Legends' hands, it would be a monstrous calamity. However, it'll be rightfully in my hands. I'll leave an imprint, and bring this dimension under my control!"

What the Blackfire Lord had said was the truth. If news of this dimension that was full of elemental crystal stones was spread out, even Honored Legends would not be able to fully control it. The consequences would be too horrible to contemplate.

However, if it was a Supreme Lord like the Blackfire Lord overseeing it, coupled with the rumor that the Blackfire Lord had deep relations with Arcane Wizard Setoh from Arcane City, no one would dare to have any ideas about this dimension.

After a moment, Merlin took a deep breath, and looked at the elemental crystal stones on the ground. "Teacher, can we dig some elemental crystal stones? Dispelling Water in the Pavilion of Rarities caught my eye, and I want to re-cultivate a few stronger Pandora Demon Abilities. However, the price of Dispelling Water is quite steep…"

Before Merlin could even finish speaking, the Blackfire Lord waved his hand. "You three can all take one hundred million elemental crystal stones from the Satsuma Dimension. Remember, only one hundred million! Although I'm prepared to control this dimension, the truth is I don't need that many elemental crystal stones at all. This amount of elemental crystal stones is also not that useful for consolidating our Maxims. Besides, some true treasures can't be bought with elemental crystal stones, so after preparing for a period of time, I'll report this to Wizard Setoh, and let him deal with this large amount of elemental crystal stones. I believe that in the future, Arcane City's supporting ability for Potential Wizards in regards to elemental crystal stones would be greatly increased!"

The Blackfire Lord would be offering the Satsuma Dimension to the Arcane Wizard. Merlin and the others did not mind. No matter who controlled it, in the future, the elemental crystal stones here would no longer have anything to do with them. They cared more about the Blackfire Lord's promise to let them dig one hundred million elemental crystal stones.

"Haha, one hundred million crystal stones are enough. Blackfire Lord, since you allowed it, I won't stand on courtesy, haha!

Legend Zado also helped himself, and began collecting the elemental crystal stones while laughing loudly. He was a Legend with five Maxims and was extremely powerful. Just one Maxim was enough to cut a giant node, and he instantly obtained a hundred thousand elemental crystal stones.

Merlin needed to buy Dispelling Water, so a hundred million elemental crystal stones were enough. As for Wizard Luce, he seemed to be somewhat dazed as if it was a surprise that had dropped from the skies.

One hundred million elemental crystal stones. If he had not followed Merlin and experienced this adventure, Wizard Luce would not be able to obtain a hundred million elemental crystal stones even if he had accumulated them for a few thousand years.

Thus, Merlin and Wizard Luce also quickly started collecting the elemental crystal stones.

The elemental crystal stones were frantically kept in their Spatial Rings. Legend Zado's movements were the largest. His five Maxims were like five giant hands. No matter how deep the lodes were, they could be rooted up by him.

"Haha, I'll dig one more time. I have almost one hundred million elemental crystal stones!"

After a few dozen hours, Legend Zado had almost finished collecting while Merlin and Luce had only collected around ten million elemental crystal stones.

"Rumble."

Legend Zado's last movement was especially large. The entire land shook violently, and a huge elemental crystal stones lode seemed to have been uprooted by him. Glittering and shiny elemental crystal stones rushed around everywhere.

"Haha, that should be enough this time!"

Legend Zado's heart rejoiced. One hundred million elemental crystal stones were not a small amount to him at all.

"Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!"

A soft sound suddenly appeared on the dimension. The sound was relatively soft at first but became more intense, and the entire land seemed to shake as well.

"What's going on?"

Merlin and Luce hurriedly flew in the air and looked at the ground in panic. They felt that there seemed to be an enormous power underground, slowly recovering.

Thus, the life force made them fearful, and they also did not dare to continue collecting any elemental crystal stones.

"Retreat. It's best if we can leave the Satsuma Dimension. Even the Elemental Origin can't see what's happening."

The Blackfire Lord's expression immediately turned grave. The entire Satsuma Dimension was just a giant elemental crystal stone lode. That, itself, was already incredibly strange.

Now that a change like this had happened, the Blackfire Lord did not dare to be careless, and immediately instructed Merlin and the others to withdraw from the Satsuma Dimension, and watch from afar as he stared intently at the dimension.

The Satsuma Dimension was indeed rapidly changing, especially that muffled sound that seemed like the sound of a heartbeat. Every time it beat, it seemed to affect everyone into involuntarily falling into it.

"Boom!"

Finally, the land burst open, and space shattered. Countless elemental crystal stones were instantly smashed.

As for the dimension, it was no longer a dimension. It had been completely crushed, causing even the Blackfire Lord to become dumbfounded at what was happening in front of him.

"What a huge monster… The Satsuma Dimension is on a monster's back. How could that be?"

"What monster is that? The Satsuma Dimension is only a small dimension, but small dimensions are also dimensions. How could it be on a monster's back?"

"Was it the monster that came first or the Satsuma Dimension?"

Everyone was dumbfounded because this was beyond their comprehension.

"I remember now… That's a Slothful Beast! It's the true overlord-grade monster of the Void Zone! They're gigantic and have a long lifespan that almost has no end in sight. Moreover, they're almost unkillable. In the past, an Arcane Wizard met a Slothful Beast, and attacked it as he pleased for several years, but he never managed to even scratch the Slothful Beast.

"That's because the Slothful Beast loves to sleep. It'll sleep for tens of thousands of years. Even hundreds of thousands of years are nothing. Besides sleeping, it knows nothing else. Its temper is also very mild. Even if it gets attacked, it won't get angry at all… I never thought that we'd actually encounter a Slothful Beast."

The Blackfire Lord explained with a complicated expression. A monster like this was simply too shocking. Anyone who saw it would be extremely shocked. In front of the Slothful Beast, no matter how strong a Wizard was, he would definitely felt tiny in comparison.

Even an Arcane Wizard was helpless against a Slothful Beast. These monsters' movements were slow, and they seemed to be immature in their intelligence, but they were naturally powerful. They were the true apex creatures in the natural order.

"Teacher Blackfire, you said the Slothful Beast won't get angry but does it not care even if someone attacks it?"

"Of course. I've never heard of a Slothful Beast attacking a person first, but there would occasionally be some accidental injuries. For example, once they wake up, they'll devour everything around them. No matter if it's a dimension or something else, they'll swallow everything. Perhaps they're just eating…"

The Blackfire Lord had barely finished speaking when everyone's expression suddenly changed.

"Go, go now. We have to leave this place at all costs!"

The Blackfire Lord released the power of his Maxim in an instant, and madly flew away. Legend Zado's speed was also very quick, and he flew very far away in just the blink of an eye.

"Hoo…"

The Slothful Beast slowly opened its mouth and breathed in, and an incomparable suctioning force immediately appeared in the Void Zone. Even the furthest Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado were also affected, and could only rely on the power of their Maxims to continue escaping.

However, Merlin and Wizard Luce were not that lucky. The moment the Slothful Beast opened its mouth, they had no way of resisting its powerful suction, and were sucked directly into the Slothful Beast's gaping mouth.

The Slothful Beast continued to eat for three days and three nights before feeling "bored", and finally closed its mouth. It swung its huge body, and leisurely drifted off to other parts of the Void Zone.

To it, going to other places was just finding a different place to "sleep".

"Whoosh whoosh."

Two figures quietly followed behind the Slothful Beast.

"Blackfire Lord, what do we do? Merlin was swallowed into the Slothful Beast's belly!"

Legend Zado stared at the Slothful Beast in horror. If he had just been a second slower, he might have ended up the same way Merlin did, and be swallowed up into the Slothful Beast's stomach.

"We can't do anything but follow it… Fortunately, the Slothful Beast's speed is slow, and we can catch up. We'll look for any chance and then rescue Merlin!"

The Blackfire Lord's face was ashen. Who would have thought that a dimension would be on the back of a Slothful Beast, and was also unlucky enough to be swallowed into the belly of the beast?

Legend Zado shook his head helplessly. Even the Blackfire Lord could not do anything about it. For now, they could just follow behind this terrifying monster.

Chapter 563: In Trouble

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A huge suction force sucked Merlin and Wizard Luce into the Slothful Beast's belly. They could not resist at all, but they were not hurt as they had cast defensive spells. The boulders and gales were helpless against Merlin and Wizard Luce.

"Wizard Luce, are you okay?"

In the darkness, Merlin used his Mind Power, and constantly searched his surroundings.

"Wizard Merlin, I'm fine. I'm here."

Wizard Luce responded, and the two quickly gathered. In this darkness, they could only rely on their Mind Power to see their surroundings.

Thankfully, they could see clearly with Mind Power.

"Where are we now?"

Wizard Luce looked around. The place looked boundlessly wide, with no end in sight.

"It should be in the Slothful Beast's belly."

Merlin's smile was wry. Never had he thought that he would be swallowed into the Slothful Beast's belly. The Slothful Beast really was too terrifying. It devoured everything around it in the Void Zone immediately after waking up. Perhaps it would not be satisfied even after swallowing a few dimensions.

"What do we do now? Can we leave this place?"

Wizard Luce's Mind Power searched everywhere. He did not even know the direction. The inside of the Slothful Beast was very large, comparable to a dimension. It would be challenging to find the exit in the Slothful Beast.

"Let's see how tough this place is! Maybe we can tear space apart and leave."

Merlin muttered lowly. He already felt that there was space inside the Slothful Beast's body. If they could tear apart space, they could easily leave the Slothful Beast's body.

"I'll go first."

Wizard Luce was a ninth-level Spell Caster. Although he could not directly open a Spatial Passage, he could slightly distort space under the condition of being in an ordinary dimension.

"Fire!"

Wizard Luce's fireball flew out immediately and exploded fiercely. Even Merlin could feel the terrifying impact of heat. However, the effects did not seem very good. It did not even cause a ripple, much less break space.

"This… This space is too tough! Your turn to try, Merlin."

Wizard Luce's expression was slightly embarrassed. He shook his head helplessly, and let Merlin try.

Merlin sucked in a breath. He could naturally sense the oddness in the Slothful Beast's body, so he did not hesitate, and immediately used his strongest power.

"Darkness Eye, summon Demon Spirit!"

Merlin released the sixth form of Darkness Eye. Immediately, a gigantic Darkness Demon Spirit condensed from the darkness. The endless darkness gathered into a fist and roared toward space.

"Boom!"

The strength of a Darkness Demon Spirit was comparable to a peak Great Wizard. Perhaps there was still a distance from those top Great Wizards but it was still quite terrifying. If it was in a normal dimension, it could crush space.

Of course, even top Great Wizards could not travel via subspace. Traveling via subspace required a stable Spatial Passage, and only a Great Legend's Maxim would have the power to stabilize one.

Merlin just gave it a try. Considering the toughness of this space, if it could be easily broken, he could just wait for the black cat Didimoss to wake up, and leave by traveling via subspace.

Very quickly, the Darkness Demon Spirit disappeared. Merlin looked at space which was hit by the Darkness Demon Spirit, and saw that there was no ripple at all. This space was so tough it could only make one despair!

"How could there be such a strong space?"

Merlin and Luce glanced at each other, and saw the looks of horror in each other's eyes. The space here was so tough that they could not even damage it. Even if the black cat Didimoss woke up, they might not even be able to leave by traveling via subspace.

"We're in trouble!"

The two knew that they were in huge trouble after entering the Slothful Beast's belly. Although they had not encountered any issue yet, no one could say for sure that there would be no threats in the Slothful Beast's belly.

"Let's go but be careful. Don't wander around, and just walk in one direction. The two of us mustn't separate!"

Merlin hesitated for a moment before deciding to move forward. They could not stay at one spot the entire time. Luce and he were still together now so they could rely on each other. However, if they were separated, they would both be in danger.

In the pitch-black darkness, the two fumbled their way forward. Their speed was not fast, and they were constantly watching their surroundings. As they flew, not even they knew how much time had passed.

One month, two months, three months…

The slow and aimless flight caused the two to become impatient. More worrying was there was not a single trace of Element in this darkness. However, it made sense to them. After all, how would there be Elements in a Slothful Beast's body?

They were Spell Casters who were still far away from becoming Legends. Furthermore, even Great Legends were mortal. Without the support of Elements, they would just be slightly stronger than ordinary people. Their bodies would still gradually decay away.

The exception was those Great Honored Legends who had kept their consciousness and Mind Power in Maxims that had been comprehended to the fullest. As a result, they could live forever.

Thus, Honored Legends could live for hundreds of thousands of years, and perhaps even longer, while ordinary Legends could only live for a few thousand years. However, even if it were just a few thousand years, it was still a long time. After all, it had only been three thousand years after the Spell Caster civilization stepped out from the Glorious Land, and into the Void Zone.

Merlin and Luce were facing such a predicament. They had to be thankful that they had dug a number of elemental crystal stones earlier. Although they could not compare to the number of elemental crystal stones that Legend Zado had dug up in such a short amount of time, they still dug tens of millions of elemental crystal stones.

Thus, the two had more than enough elemental crystal stones. Even if they used the elemental crystal stones to maintain the operation of the Spell Models, and let their bodies consume the elemental crystal stones bit by bit, it was enough to maintain them for hundreds of years.

"We've flown or so long but we still haven't seen an end. How large is this Slothful Beast's body?"

Wizard Luce sighed. After several months, he was in a constant state of hesitation and worry. His current state was quite bad.

"Hang in there. We'll definitely find an exit."

Merlin was very determined. Although the Slothful Beast was extremely huge, there must be an end. As long as they flew without stopping in one direction, they would definitely reach the other end of the Slothful Beast.

Perhaps, things would definitely take a turn for the better then.

"Merlin, look, that's… That's light. It's light!"

Wizard Luce suddenly cried out on surprise and happiness. In the darkness ahead, he saw a glimmer of light like on the horizon. The light he saw in the darkness was exceptionally dazzling.

"There's light… Maybe things will turn for the better. Let's go!"

Merlin was also very excited, and swiftly flew toward the light together with Wizard Luce.In the boundless Void Zone, the colossal Slothful Beast traveled the Void Zone slowly and aimlessly. Following behind the Slothful Beast were two tiny figures.

"Blackfire Lord, how long are we going to follow it?"

Legend Zado could not resist asking. They had been following this Slothful Beast for almost three years… In these three years, they had tried everything they could but they just could not stop the Slothful Beast, and save Merlin and Luce.

After following the Slothful Beast, they finally knew what a true overlord of the Void Zone was…

This Slothful Beast truly was too terrifying. Over the course of its "wandering", whenever it touched a dimension or when it grew hungry, it would open its mouth to suck in a mouthful. No dimensions could resist it and would be swallowed directly into its belly. Along the way, they had seen the Slothful Beast devouring dozens of dimensions.

Even if those dimensions had been deserted without a single trace of life, it still made others feel horrified. This was the true overlord of the Void Zone that even Arcane Wizards were useless against.

However, it was fortunate that the Slothful Beast was too "lazy" that it was unwilling to attack others. In the past, the Three Great Arcane Wizards unceasingly attacked a Slothful Beast, but it had completely ignored them. Since then, knowledge of the Slothful Beast in the Void Zone gradually spread among some Great Legends.

It was also because of this that Zado and the Blackfire Lord could keep following behind the Slothful Beast without bothering the Beast.

The Blackfire Lord frowned. He also felt very troubled. According to his knowledge of Slothful Beasts, it must be looking for another good place to "sleep" again. The Slothful Beast's routine was to sleep, eat, go back to sleep, and eat again.

It seemed like the Slothful Beast was born just to sleep, occasionally wake up to devour a few dimensions, and go back to sleep again. Even the strongest attacks would not awaken it.

It was just that Merlin and the others encountered a Slothful Beast when it was awake.

"We can't keep waiting like this. When the Slothful Beast finds a suitable place, it'll fall into a deep sleep, and no one will be able to save Merlin anymore. When a Slothful Beast sleeps, they can sleep for ten thousand, a hundred thousand or even millions of years!"

The Blackfire Lord's expression was slightly grim. When a Slothful Beast fell deep asleep, it might be even longer than the history of the birth of some dimensions. If the Slothful Beast really slept, Merlin and Luce would be trapped in the Slothful Beast's belly for eternity, with no hope of coming back out.

"What do we do? We can't let the Slothful Beast fall asleep!"

Legend Zado's expression was anxious.

"No one can stop the Slothful Beast from sleeping… We only have one thing we can do now. I'll go to Arcane City and call for Arcane Wizard Setoh. Perhaps he'll have a way of saving Merlin."

The Blackfire Lord seemed to have decided, and said firmly.

"Invite Arcane Wizard Setoh? Blackfire Lord, you can mobilize an Arcane Wizard?"

Although he knew that the Blackfire Lord was not ordinary, and there were even rumors that he had a friendship with Arcane Wizard Setoh, that was just rumors. Arcane Wizards were the supreme existence of the Spell Caster civilization. Many Honored Legends have not even seen an Arcane Wizard before, much less mobilize them.

"Don't worry. Setoh still owes me for some things, so I can! Zado, you stay here and follow the Slothful Beast. Form a Maxim avatar so we can keep in contact."

The Blackfire Lord valued Merlin deeply. Even Merlin did not know how valuable he was to the Blackfire Lord. Perfecting the Mind System… That was also the Backfire Lord's wish!

Thus, for Merlin, the Blackfire Lord did not hesitate to mobilize Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"Alright, I'll form a Maxim avatar immediately and let you take it so we can keep in touch. You'll be able to quickly find my location as well."

Legend Zado bit his lip, and agreed to form a Maxim avatar. As there was no time and space in the Void Zone, it was extremely difficult to transmit news.

Only a Great Legend's Maxim could ignore space and have a certain response. Thus, by forming a Maxim avatar, one would be able to keep in touch with another.

However, forming a Maxim avatar had some repercussions on a Great Legend's Maxim. If a Maxim avatar was formed, it would require a few decades to a few centuries for the damaged Maxim to slowly recover. Thus, if it was not entirely unnecessary, even Great Legends would not form Maxim avatars.

Legend Zado also valued Merlin deeply. For Merlin, he did not hesitate to use his Maxim to form a Maxim avatar.

"Form!"

The Maxim drifted out of Legend Zado's body rapidly, and formed a Maxim avatar in the Void Zone. The Blackfire Lord nodded and said, "Good. I'll be back quickly!"

Thus, the Blackfire Lord brought Legend Zado's Maxim avatar, and quickly left the Slothful Beast.

"Where's this?"

Merlin and Wizard Luce stared blankly at the sky where a hot breath of air blew on their faces. They followed the faint light that they saw from the darkness, and had arrived at this place after entering it.

They could see the sky here as well as the earth. Currently, they were stepping on thick and sturdy land. There were also tall mountains and wide rivers, just like an ordinary dimension.

However, there were also places that went against common sense in this dimension. Here, there were three suns in the sky that exuded terrible heat. Even the earth had cracked, revealing crevices like branching spider webs.

"What's this place?"

Luce muttered to himself. There were three suns in the sky, which was not something that should happen in a complete dimension. That was violating the natural order.

"Come on, let's look around."

Merlin ignored the three suns in the sky. Luce and he carefully released defensive spells, and started to cautiously look around. Since they were still inside the Slothful Beast's body, they had to be careful.

After flying for a few hours, they stopped. Wizard Luce said helplessly, "It's too deserted. This place is completely barren…"

"Yes, it's a wasteland! Although the space looks like it can be easily broken, it seems that there's a stronger invisible force imprisoning this place and preventing us from traveling via subspace!"

Merlin shook his head helplessly. He lightly released a Flame spell and a Thunder spell, and easily distorted the space by fusing the spells. The endurance of the space here was too weak. In here, perhaps even some ordinary seventh-level spells would be able to cause a wide area of spatial destruction.

However, there was a mysterious but extremely powerful force that seemed to be imprisoning this place. Thus, even if they could crush space, they could not leave by traveling via subspace.

Merlin had hope that the black cat Didimoss would be able to open a stable Spatial Passage after it woke up, but it seemed that it was impossible now.

"Hum hum hum."

Suddenly, a fierce storm appeared from the originally clear sky. The storm's terrifying gales annihilated everything, and even Merlin's Mind Power was completely crushed when he spread it over there.

"Not good. That's a Spatial Windstorm. Run!"

Merlin's face paled. That storm that annihilated everything was the fearsome Spatial Windstorm. Rumor had it that only some Great Legends who had accomplished their Maxim using space would be able to conjure a Spatial Windstorm.

Once, there was a Spatial Windstorm, and everything in the dimension would be annihilated and become a dead dimension. Who would have thought that Merlin and Luce would encounter such a Spatial Windstorm after just reaching this mysterious place?

The two Wizards frantically retreated. They did not dare to be careless when facing a Spatial Windstorm. If the Spatial Windstorm had engulfed them, even Merlin was not certain that they would be able to resist.

"Phew…"

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Merlin breathed a slight sigh of relief. He looked behind, and found that the Spatial Windstorm had already stopped, and where the Spatial Windstorm had engulfed, the space was already slowly starting to recover.

The recovery seemed slow, but in fact, the space here only needed a few months to recover. The sudden starting and stopping of the Spatial Windstorm were also odd.

"It looks like that Spatial Windstorm isn't as terrifying as we thought!"

Merlin looked at the Spatial Windstorm that had disappeared, and mused with his head down. It seemed like a Seventh-level and above Spell Caster would be able to resist Spatial Windstorm as long as they resisted with all their might. It was far less horrible than the Spatial Windstorms which had occurred in dimensions in the rumors.

"Maybe it has something to do with the strength of the space. The space here really is too weak!"

Wizard Luce shook his head. He had never seen such a weak Spatial Maxim before.

"This place is full of eccentricities. We should be more careful!"

Three suns in the sky, a fragile space, and a bizarre Spatial Windstorm. All these would cause Wizards to scratch their heads in confusion about what exactly was happening.

"Haha, the Spatial Windstorm had finally passed!"

Merlin and Luce were just about to fly toward the place where the Spatial Windstorm had decimated before suddenly hearing a burst of laughter from far away. The sound also carried many clamorous voices, showing that there was not one, but many people.

"This voice. It's Spell Casters. They must be Spell Casters!"

Wizard Luce said excitedly. The Spell Casters' common language was the Molta language. There was no doubt that the odd sound earlier was the same as the language used by Merlin and the others.

A trace of joy appeared on Merlin's face. In the Slothful Beast's belly, an odd and bizarre place, there was nothing better than to meet other Spell Casters.

"Let's go see."

Merlin and Luce swiftly flew over.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Due to their urgent mood, they seemed to be very quick. Following the source of the sound, it only took a short time for them to find some strangers.

However, what astonished Merlin and Luce was that there were no Elemental fluctuations on these people's bodies. They were not like Spell Casters at all. They were covered by unknown animal hide skirts, and there were even some people who used leaves to cover their privates.

Such a group of "primitive" people, even at the lowest level of civilization, had used the Spell Casters' language and words. Furthermore, even their accent was very pure. It was the accent of the Molta Empire.

"Pray tell, who are you people? What's this place?"

Merlin and Luce did not hide, and directly revealed themselves to the strangers. However, their floating figures caused the strangers to reveal a "shocked" expression.

"They're able to fly in the air. They're so strong. Only the Seventh-level and above Mind Power Masters can do that!"

"What tribe are they from? Why did they appear in front of our Gigula Tribe?"

"Report to the Seventh-level Mind Power Master Elder!"

These strange "primitive people" made Merlin and Luce feel very amused as well as slightly at a loss. They all looked like they belonged to the most rudimentary civilization but they talked about a "Mind Power Master". That was an imperfect cultivation system that only Spell Casters knew of.

"Wizard Merlin, they don't seem to be Spell Casters. There aren't any Elemental fluctuations on them at all."

Wizard Luce observed them for a long moment before determining that although they could speak the Spell Casters' language, they were not Spell Casters. After all, there were no Elemental fluctuations on their bodies at all.

"I know, they're not Spell Casters but the purest Mind Power Masters!"

A strange light flashed in Merlin's eyes. He could clearly feel that there was a strong Mind Power on their bodies. However, it had just not reached the point of consolidating the Mind Heart.

"Let's wait. We'll understand everything soon. They've already called someone with higher status."

Merlin knew that now, Luce and he could only wait silently for that "Elder" to arrive. Then, everything would be crystal clear!

Chapter 565: Tribe

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a few hours, an old man who did not seem human, with wrinkles on his face like old bark, and looked extremely ugly, flew over to Merlin by walking on air.

"Oh? He's here. He's a Mind Power Master who had formed a Mind Heart!"

Merlin lightly closed his eyes, and immediately opened them again. He already felt that the old and ugly man in front of him was a Seventh-level Mind Power Master. His Mind Power had already started to slowly turn emptiness into reality, and began to interfere in the material world enough to support him in walking on air.

Unfortunately, Merlin also did not sense any Elemental fluctuation from the old man. He was not a Spell Caster either!

The old man flew toward Merlin and Wizard Luce. However, after carefully sensing Merlin and Luce, the man's expression instantly changed.

"You're a foreign tribe!"

"Swoosh."

As the old man spoke, the gazes of the people around all fixed themselves on Merlin and Luce. There was a hint of alarm and fear in their expressions.

"A foreign tribe? How are we the foreign tribe? What's more, do we even look like foreign tribes?"

Merlin asked calmly with a collected expression. He also did not know why the old man made such a judgment.

"Haha, if you two aren't from a foreign tribe, how would you be able to walk on air without using Mind Power? Only the foreign tribes have such an ability! Besides, some foreign tribes are cunning and capricious, and their powers are odd and bizarre, so it's not strange at all if they know how to change their appearances to look like us… Speak, what's your purpose in coming to our Gigula Tribe?"

The old man sneered. He had already put up his guard, and was prepared to attack.

"Mind Power?"

Merlin seemed to faintly understand something. Then, he stopped his spell, and used pure Mind Power to gradually support his body and float in the air.

Furthermore, that huge Mind Power was like a storm, washing over everyone present.

"What? What a strong Mind Power!"

"That's not the Seventh-level. That's definitely not a Seventh-level Mind Power Master. He might be an Eight-level or even a Ninth-level Mind Power Master!"

Feeling Merlin's vast and boundless Mind Power, everyone's face changed slightly. This was genuine Mind Power, which was something that was impossible for foreign tribes to possess.

"You're really one of us! Which tribe did you two come from?"

After confirming that Merlin was not from a foreign tribe, the old man exhaled deeply in relief. As long as they were not from a foreign tribe, there would be no problem. If they were a foreign tribe, and had exposed their identities, they would never leave alive. The ferocity and cruelty of the foreign tribes were obvious, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Tribe? The place we come from is a little complicated. Do you know about Spell Casters?"

"Huh?"

When Merlin mentioned "Spell Casters", a strange light flashed in the old man's eyes, and a faint expression of excitement appeared on his face.

"Could you two be Spell Casters?"

The old man breathed, and asked carefully after combining the differences he had seen in Merlin and Luce.

Merlin and Luce glanced at each other. It seemed that this old man knew about Spell Casters. They wanted to quickly know the situation, so they nodded. "Yes, we're Spell Casters. We've just arrived here, and don't understand what's going on!"

Merlin could reveal their true identities because he did not feel any threat in this place. Although this old man was a Seventh-level Mind Power Master, both Merlin and Luce would be able to easily destroy him.

According to the other party's previous comments, a Seventh-level and above Mind Power Master in their tribe were extremely rare. Thus, the entire tribe would not bring much trouble to Merlin and Luce.

Since there was no threat, Merlin did not have too many worries. The most important thing now was to understand what was going on.

"Hiss."

The old man gasped upon hearing Merlin's acknowledgment. However, a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes, and he said in a shaky voice, "You two are the first Spell Casters to arrive in the Slothful Beast world in eight hundred years! Quick, quick, quick, come with me. We're saved, haha!"

The old man threw his head back in laughter. His old, bark-like face, shook incessantly, making him look extremely sinister and frightening.

"What exactly is going on?"

Merlin and Luce both became alert.

"If you two really are Spell Casters, then that's great! Come, follow me back to my tribe. You'll naturally understand everything when you reach there."

The old man refused to say, and Merlin and Luce nodded their heads. With Merlin's current strength now, as long as he was careful, ordinary dangers would not pose any threat to him.

"Alright, we'll go with you."

Merlin and Luce followed after the old man, and flew in the air toward the distance.

Along the way, the three people were silent. Merlin only knew that the old man was called Elder Foba, who was the Seventh-level Mind Power Master Elder in the Gigula Tribe. He was one of the highest-ranking people in the tribe.

Flying ahead, they could see some spaces that were annihilated by Spatial Windstorms, and were slowly recovering. Merlin could not help but ask, "Elder Foba, aren't you all afraid of the Spatial Windstorm which had just occurred?"

"Spatial Windstorm? There are several Spatial Windstorms happening per year, so we've gotten used to it. Besides, we're all prepared for the occurrence of a Spatial Windstorm, but we don't have preparations for other disasters. The people in the Slothful Beast world are decreasing, and on the contrary, some foreign tribes have been increasing…"

Elder Foba stopped saying anything more because they had reached an assembly spot. They could see flat land, and even castles in the distance.

Castles, rivers, land… All these made Merlin feel as if he had returned to Blackwater City. However, he was very clear that this was not Blackwater City, and simply had a similar style to Blackwater City.

Or perhaps it had a style similar to the Molta Empire.

"Elder Foba has returned. How was it? Did you encounter any foreign tribes?"

"Elder Foba, did you find anything good after the Spatial Windstorm passed?"

Several people approached Elder Foba to give their greetings. Most of the people here were dressed in animal hide skirts, and there was only a handful who wore coarse hemp robes like Elder Foba. Merlin could only see a couple of those people at a glance.

It seemed that those who could wear coarse hemp clothing had a certain status in the Gigula Tribe.

"Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, please come this way. The other three Elders of the tribe are already waiting for you two."

Merlin nodded, and followed Foba into a simple and unadorned castle.

"Elder Foba! About the news you sent back earlier, have the Spell Casters from the outside world really arrived?"

They saw three similarly aged old men immediately after entering the castle.

"Elders, these two are Wizard Merlin and Wizard Luce who have just arrived in the Slothful Beast world!"

Foba pointed at Merlin and Luce behind him, and three Mind Powers immediately enveloped Merlin and Luce.

Merlin frowned. This method of directly using Mind Power to probe was incredibly vulgar. If this was the Spell Caster world, it would be very likely to cause conflict. Usually, it would just be a gentle sweep, and nothing more.

However, these three Elders had no intention of withdrawing their Mind Power but carefully checked both of them up and down.

"Hmph!"

Merlin snorted softly. His Mind Power gave a violent jolt, and directly shook off the three Mind Powers. This contact also let him realize that the three Elders' Mind Powers were similar to that of Foba's. The strongest of them was only slightly stronger than Foba.

"What a strong Mind Power!"

The three Elders were stunned but then became even more excited. A white-haired elder asked softly, "Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, what level Spell Casters are you two in the Spell Caster world? Seventh-level? Eighth-level? Ninth-level? Or perhaps you're powerful Great Wizards?"

"You seem very familiar with Spell Casters."

A strange glint appeared in Merlin's eyes. They were no traces of Elemental fluctuations on their bodies at all, so they were not Spell Casters, but they knew quite a lot about Spell Casters. It seemed that they must have some means of obtaining this knowledge.

"I'm a Seventh-level Spell Caster, and Wizard Luce here is a Ninth-level Spell Caster!"

Merlin said while smiling. Although what he said was the truth, in reality, Wizard Luce was far inferior to Merlin in terms of strength. However, since they were in a strange place now, even if the entire Gigula Tribe was not a threat to Merlin and Luce, they still had to be careful, and not expose all the details.

Merlin could also use his identity as a "Seventh-level Spell Caster" to temporarily hide some strength.

Luce also knew Merlin's thoughts and nodded, tacitly approving.

"Ninth-level Spell Caster. You're a ninth-level Spell Caster, second only to Great Wizards!"

The two of them exclaimed in shock. Their eyes stared at Merlin and Luce, which let Merlin feel slightly strange. Their gazes were too "bare".

"Could you two release a spell?"

After a long moment, the three Elders had calmed down, and made another request.

"Release a spell?"

That was incredibly easy. Although Merlin did not understand why these people valued "Spell Casters" so much, he could also faintly feel that in their eyes, Spell Casters were extremely important.

"Whiz."

Merlin shot a small fireball which floated in the air. Since there were no Elements in this world, Merlin had only released the weakest Zero-level Spell to reduce the cost of Magic Power.

"He's really a Spell Caster. That's a genuine spell!"

Seeing this fireball, the Elders no longer had any doubts about Merlin and Luce's identities as Spell Casters.

Merlin and Luce were full of questions. After satisfying the Elders' curiosity and proving that they were "Spell Casters", Merlin finally opened his mouth to ask, "Elders, we've just arrived at this place, so we have many questions that need answers."

Elder Foba also waved his hand. "Wizard Merlin, you don't have to ask. We'll naturally tell you anything. Previously, we had to confirm your identities. Now that it's confirmed, there are some things that no longer need to be hidden."

Elder Foba started to speak frankly, slowly lifting the veil of this strange world for Merlin and Luce.

Chapter 566: Slothful Beast World

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"You two are from the outside world, so you should know better than us that this place is the belly of a giant beast, right?"

Wizard Foba's expression slowly turned solemn.

Merlin and Luce nodded their heads. "Yes, we call this giant beast a Slothful Beast. We were swallowed by it when it woke up."

Foba laughed after hearing that and continued. "Indeed, this is the inside of a Slothful Beast. We call it the Slothful Beast world… You won't be able to imagine just how large this world is. However, you've seen this giant beast before. As we were born in the Slothful Beast world, even if someone has described the Slothful Beast before, we still can't imagine how large the beast is.

"In the Slothful Beast world, not only are there Spell Casters but also other foreign tribes. Relatively speaking, we Spell Casters are at an absolute disadvantage. I believe you should've guessed the reason why."

Merlin frowned and said, "It's because there are no Elements?"

Immediately after entering the dark area of the Slothful Beast's body, Merlin had already found that there was no trace of Elements. This was quite deadly to Spell Casters.

Without Elements, even if a Spell Model was constructed, one would not possess Magic Power. Without Magic Power, one naturally would not be able to cast spells. Thus, in the Slothful Beast world, Spell Casters did not have any advantage at all.

"Yes, there aren't any Elements, so we could only become Mind Power Masters! Becoming a Mind Power Master is very challenging, and there are often attacks from foreign tribes, which is causing the numbers of us Spell Casters to decrease. We even look forward to the arrival of Spatial Windstorms now because if there's a Spatial Windstorm, those foreign tribes wouldn't dare to attack again."

Saying this, Foba and the other Elders also shook their heads helplessly, and sighed.

Merlin heard Wizard Foba mentioned foreign tribes several times. Merlin also knew that the Void Zone had too many foreign civilizations, and the Spell Caster civilization was only one of them. Since the Slothful Beast could swallow Spell Casters, it could definitely swallow many other tribes.

However, what Merlin and Luce were concerned about was not this but if they could leave the Slothful Beast world.

"Elder Foba, have you heard of a method to leave the Slothful Beast world?

"Leaving the Slothful Beast world is a dream we've never given up on… However, after so many years, we've never heard of anyone leaving the Slothful Beast world before. Even some powerful foreign tribes have never left the Slothful Beast world before."

"What? No one has left the Slothful Beast world before? Do we have to stay here forever?"

Merlin and Wizard Luce immediately stood up, looking a little anxious. They did not want to spend their lives in the Slothful Beast world.

"Please don't be worried. We don't know a way to leave the Slothful Beast world because we are originally from this world. In this world, there are many others like you who have been sucked in by the Slothful Beast. Perhaps they would know a way to leave the Slothful Beast World."

Elder Foba could only placate Merlin and Luce. These two Wizards were very important to their tribe. With these two, the Gigula Tribe could move to the safest place.

"Where are these people?"

Merlin also immediately calmed his mood and asked softly.

"Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, please be rest assured. I've already notified several other tribes so Spell Casters who came from the outside like you will arrive soon. All you need to do is wait in the tribe for a while, and they'll naturally come."

Merlin nodded. That was the only thing they could do. They could also make use of this time to learn more about this strange Slothful Beast world.

"However, we still have a request for Wizard Merlin and Wizard Luce."

Wizard Foba's bright eyes looked at Merlin and Luce, his gaze revealing hope.

"What is it?"

"It's very simple. We hope that Wizard Merlin will take our Gigula Tribe into Spellcast City, which is the safest place. The entire Gigula Tribe is only two thousand people, and only after entering Spellcast City would our tribe be able to slowly recuperate and grow. This is our only request!"

Merlin did not answer immediately but asked instead, "Is it very dangerous here?"

"It is. The easiest thing to avoid here is Spatial Windstorms. There are various other dangers but the greatest threat comes from the foreign tribes. Those foreign tribes treat us as delicacies. They'll attack us from time to time, and seize a number of tribe members. However, we're helpless against them! If this continues, the Gigula Tribe will cease to exist…"

Wizard Foba and the others all looked indignant but equally helpless. It seemed that they were facing a dilemma. A tribe was gradually being destroyed in their hands, which was not something they were willing to see.

Spellcast City was the hold land in their hearts. It was the safest place, and they did not have to worry about any disasters or attacks from foreign tribes there. That was because the strongest Spell Casters gathered there, and there was even the existence of Runic Magic Circles protecting the city.

For a small tribe like the Gigula Tribe, their biggest dream was to lead the tribe into Spellcast City. However, it was difficult to achieve what they wanted just by their own strength.

Merlin and Luce's arrival this time enabled Foba and the others see a glimmer of hope. In the rumors, a Spell Caster's arrival was the greatest matter for Spell Casters. They would mobilize countless powerful figures, including even those in Spellcast City.

Perhaps when the time comes, the two Spell Casters, Merlin and Luce, would be able to bring the Gigula Tribe into Spellcast City. This was why Foba had let Merlin stay in the Gigula Tribe for a few days without telling Merlin and Luce where Spellcast City was located.

On this matter, Fuba and the others were selfish.

However, Merlin and Luce did not mind. The rumored Spellcast City was the place where the strongest Spell Casters in the Slothful Beast world gathered. They also did not want to rush into it without knowing anything.

Thus, it was acceptable for them to wait in the Gigula Tribe. As for Foba and the others' request, Merlin did not mind helping them if he could.

Thus, Merlin and Luce temporarily stayed at the Gigula Tribe, and waited. At the same time, Foba also sent out several people from the Gigula Tribe to convey the news of the Spell Casters' arrival to the surrounding tribes…On a quiet morning, Merlin was helping Wizard Luce form his Mind Heart.

However, forming a Mind Heart was not that easy. Wizard Luce had been trying for several days but he still could not form a Mind Heart.

In the Slothful Beast world, since there were no Elements, there were basically no Spell Casters willing to release spells because that would mean consuming a lot of Magic Power.

Magic Power was the foundation of most Spell Casters. If there were no Elements to change into Magic Power, and penetrate into their bodies to keep them alive for a longer time, Spell Casters would be the same as ordinary people. They would gradually age after a few decades or centuries, and finally die.

Elder Foba and the other Elders had already formed a Seventh-level Mind Heart. They could be considered the strongest figures in the Spell Caster world.

However, they were only in their sixties but they were already looked aged, and their life force was diminishing every day as well. At most, they would live till eighty before dying.

Without Elements, a Spell Caster would become the same as ordinary people. The exception was Great Legends, who had their dependence on Elements after condensing a Maxim. Just by relying on the Maxim, they could live for a long time. However, in the end, they still could not live as long as in the Spell Caster civilization.

Perhaps only Honored Legends would be able to live forever after forming an Ultimate Maxim, and keeping their consciousness and Mind in it.

Merlin also realized the value of elemental crystal stones in the Slothful Beast world. Therefore, he recently did not use any Magic Power but carved and polished the Mind Power system instead.

It was quite strange. Since there were no Elements in the Slothful Beast world, there was great progress on the Mind Power system. In the Gigula Tribe, as long as their Mind Power was awakened, they would immediately receive some special meditation techniques.

Even Merlin was amazed to see these meditation techniques. They were better than any other meditation technique he had come into contact with. It could even be cultivated until Sixth-level Mind Power.

After reaching Sixth-level Mind Power, it would be necessary to start forming a Mind Heart. Furthermore, the methods for forming a Mind Heart would already be mature. Merlin originally thought that it would be rough, but after careful study, he found that it was extremely fine, and he could hardly find any flaws.

"A world which completely abandoned spells but committed to the development of the Mind Power System instead… Perhaps I'll find some ways to understand the essence of Mind Power here…"

For the first time, Merlin felt that entering the Slothful Beast world was not without reward. At the very least, the Mind Power system here would have been developed further and better than in the Spell Caster civilization.

After all, the Spell Caster civilization was still dominated by Spell Casters. Only a few people would choose to become Mind Power Master. However, there was no other choice in the Slothful Beast world. As long as their Mind Power was awakened, they can only become a Mind Power Master!

Merlin had also asked Elder Foba where the cultivation method for the Mind Power system came from. Foba's answer was very simple: from Spellcast City. It was gradually perfected by numerous powerful Spell Casters and Mind Power Masters after thousands of years of development.

However, this Mind Power cultivation method seemed to only be able to let one cultivate until the Ninth-level!

With Merlin's current Mind Power, this system was not as helpful to him. The path he wanted to walk on was a path no one had walked before. He had to do everything himself.

"Understanding the essence of Mind Power really is tough! To turn nothingness into reality, firstly, I have to comprehend 'nothingness' to the pinnacle. Mind Power had always been illusory, and used to make people hallucinate…"

Merlin also began to try comprehending the essence of Mind Power by combining the method of condensing a Mind Heart from Mind Power used by the Gigula Tribe. However, he proceeded step by step and did not bite off more than he could chew. Once again, he had comprehended the use of "illusion" in Mind Power.

From the beginning, Mind Power had been used to make people hallucinate. Thus, "illusion" was very important. The illusions that Merlin had experienced before were far from those created by the Blackfire Lord.

Merlin also vaguely felt that even the Blackfire Lord's illusion still had great defects, and was not perfect.

"The first step to understanding the essence of Mind Power isn't increasing the power to interfere with the material world but to understand 'illusion' to the peak. That was the start of interfering with the material plane…"

Merlin calmed his heart down, and cleared his mind. He already vaguely walked the first step in perfecting the Mind Power system.

Chapter 567: A Foreign Tribe's Arrival

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Thump thump thump."

A burst of noisy footsteps sounded outside Merlin's house. Wizard Luce hurried over as if there was something urgent.

Merlin, who was in the first step of perfecting the Mind Power system, had his Mind Power constantly shrouding the house, so he already knew that it was Wizard Luce when he appeared.

"Illusion!"

Merlin remained unmoved. The tremendous Mind Power was like the spring breeze and drizzle, and quickly and quietly created an illusion.

"Bang!"

Wizard Luce slammed open the door, and hurriedly shouted, "Wizard Merlin!"

"Wizard Merlin, what happened?"

When Wizard Luce had entered the room, he "saw" Merlin lying on the ground, motionless and cold. Seeing Merlin in this state, Wizard Luce's face greatly changed. He felt the life force on Merlin's body suddenly disappear.

"Wizard Merlin… How could you have died?"

Wizard Luce was very shocked. How could a powerful Spell Caster die for no reason? Perhaps, if a Spell Model collapsed, it could let Merlin die quietly, but how would the Spell Model of a genius Spell Caster be unstable?

"Wizard Luce!"

Merlin also revealed a smile after seeing that Wizard Luce had fallen into the illusion. Then, he withdrew his Mind Power and tore off the illusion.

To be able to let a Ninth-level Spell Caster like Wizard Luce imperceptibly fall into the illusion served to show that Merlin's illusion had already reached a certain level.

Of course, although Wizard Luce was a Ninth-level Spell Caster, he had not formed a Mind Heart yet, so he would easily fall into an illusion. When he had formed a Mind Heart, it would be difficult for him to fall into an illusion again.

At the very least, at Merlin's current illusion level, it would be hard to trap Foba and the others. However, this was only Merlin's first step in perfecting the Mind Power system. It was already quite good to have this level of Hallucinating spells.

"Wizard Merlin, what…"

Luce suddenly discovered that the Merlin he had seen before had disappeared, and was behind him instead.

"It's nothing. I had some understanding of Mind Power, so I just used a Hallucinating spell."

"Mind Power Hallucinating spell?"

Wizard Luce's expression was slightly frozen. It was not surprising that he did not sense it at all. If it were Hallucinating spells from Darkness-type spells, it would not be able to let him fall into the illusion no matter what. However, Mind Power Hallucinating spells were silent, and he had fallen into it without even realizing. It was incredibly terrifying.

However, Wizard Luce seemed to have something important to do now. He put those thoughts aside and hurriedly said, "Wizard Merlin, something has happened!"

"Something has happened? Have the Spell Casters arrived?"

Merlin raised his head to ask. After so many days of waiting, if he had calculated, perhaps the fastest Spell Caster might have reached the Gigula Tribe.

"Uh… It's not the Spell Casters but foreign tribes! You'll know once you go out and look…"

Wizard Luce's expression was also grave. The matter should be quite serious.

Merlin nodded, and stood up before following Wizard Luce out of the house. In the Gigula Tribe these days, what Merlin had heard of the most were these "foreign tribes". It seemed that these foreign tribes had become a nightmare for the Gigula Tribe."They're here again… D*mn it, the Two-headed Tribe brought two hundred Two-headed People, led by ten Three-headed People. Such a large scale… We're in danger this time!"

Seeing the mighty foreign tribe troops on the ground, Elder Foba and the three other Elders' expressions grew pale. It was the first time they had encountered such a large number of Two-headed People. In the past, when only several Three-headed People brought a few dozen Two-headed People, they still suffered greatly, not knowing how many of their tribe members would be taken away.

This time, such a large force was dispatched. The entire Gigula Tribe would face extinction!

"Elder Foba, have you notified the other two Spell Casters? Let them leave quickly, and take some of the young ones with them. They're Spell Casters, and can definitely enter Spellcast City. As long as they enter Spellcast City, they'll be safe! Our Gigula Tribe will still live on…"

The Elder's eyes could not help but reveal a trace of sadness. They had never thought of any miracle. After all, these Two-headed People's manpower was endless. Having an extra head was like having an extra life.

As for Mind Power Masters, they basically had no combat capabilities before forming a Mind Heart because their Mind Power would not be able to interfere with the material world. They had no way to resist the ferocious foreign tribes.

Thus, the Gigula Tribe's only Seventh-level and above Elders immediately made measures to preserve the tribe's bloodline after seeing the Two-headed People.Among the mighty Two-headed Tribe troops, the ten Three-headed People stood in the front. They were at least five hundred years old to have been able to become a Three-headed Person.

The Two-headed Tribe was very strange, and it seemed like they did not have to cultivate. They were born with only one head and were very weak. However, after a hundred years or so, they would grow their second head and be considered an adult Two-headed Person.

However, it took five hundred years to grow a third head, and a thousand years to grow a fourth. There was still a fifth head, a sixth head, and so on, but the time required was even longer.

Thus, if the Two-headed People wanted to become powerful, they had to live long!

"We're lucky to have been chosen by the Great King this time. We have to capture a few weak Spell Casters. The King loves delicious Spell Casters the most. The younger girls among the Spell Casters are the King's favorite!"

"Yeah, helpless and weak little Spell Casters. I really don't know why they're so difficult to deal with outside. I heard that outside the Slothful Beast world, Spell Casters are a powerful civilization. They're so weak here, so how did they become a powerful civilization?"

These Three-headed People did not understand. The Spell Casters they had encountered in the Slothful Beast world was extremely cowardly and weak. Any Two-headed Person would be able to capture a large number of Spell Casters.

Only those Seventh-level Mind Power Masters were slightly stronger, but the threat they posed was also very limited. Once the ten Three-headed People started taking action, it was enough to wipe out several small surrounding tribes.

"The Great King has already lived for thousands of years, and is about to grow his fifth head. At that time, our Two-headed Tribe will become the strongest Tribe in the entire Slothful Beast world! This time, we definitely need to wipe out a few Spell Caster tribes to provide nutrition to the Great King."

A trace of pride was revealed on the Three-headed People's faces after mentioning their "King", who was their pride. Once their Great "King" grew the fifth head, the power of the Two-headed Tribe would expand dramatically, and become one of the strongest tribes.

"Leaders, we've found a Spell Caster tribe in front. Their numbers are around two thousand."

The Two-headed Person who scouted ahead quickly rushed back to report.

"Oh, two thousand people? It looks like a small tribe, but we'll be able to catch many Spell Casters. I believe the Great King would be thrilled. Let's hasten our pace and charge forward!"

The ten Three-headed People were very excited after hearing the news. They had found a tribe of two thousand people so quickly. Although it was a small tribe, it was already a very good beginning. They believed that with this beginning, their raid this time would yield very good results.

Thus, the few hundred Two-headed People roused their morale, and swiftly charged to the front."We've been discovered. There's no chance left…"

Seeing the Two-headed People in front increasing their speed, Elder Foba knew that they must have discovered the tribe. Their only wish had been dashed.

"Don't hesitate, Foba. Take the younglings in the Tribe as well as Wizard Merlin and Wizard Luce. Leave the tribe quickly and escape to Spellcast City. We'll hold them back here. We'll at least be able to buy you some time!"

Elder Foba opened his mouth but no words came out. This was a way out that they had already discussed.

"Elder Foba!"

At this time, Merlin and Wizard Luce came out of the house.

"Elder Foba, I heard that a foreign tribe came. What foreign tribe is it?"

Merlin asked softly.

"Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, look for yourself. It's the Two-headed Tribe! They're ferocious by nature, and extremely strong. There are hundreds of them, led by ten Three-headed People. Our Gigula Tribe will be destroyed! Therefore, we beseech you two Wizards to bring the young children of our tribe, and leave quickly! Elder Foba will lead the way. I hope the two Wizards will help these poor children and enter Spellcast City!"

The eyes of the three Elders were full of sadness and despair. Facing the hundreds of Two-headed People in front of them against the two thousand people of their Gigula Tribe, they had completely lost the will to resist. Despair spread within the tribe.

"Two-headed People?"

Merlin frowned. He had heard of this name before, and after thinking carefully, he remembered it being mentioned by the Spell Casters in Arcane City. The Two-headed Tribe was a relatively weak foreign tribe. They adhered to a powerful foreign civilization, and the strongest among them was only a Six-headed leader, who was only equivalent to an ordinary Legend.

Under the leadership of a slightly stronger ordinary Legend, the Two-headed Tribe could be easily destroyed.

However, in the Slothful Beast world, the weak Two-headed Tribe had made the Spell Caster civilization live in constant panic. Hundreds of Two-headed People could easily destroy thousands of tribes.

This was something simply unimaginable in the Spell Caster civilization!

"In a world without Elements, the fate of Spell Casters is worse than that of the weakest civilization…"

Merlin muttered under his breath. For the first time, he felt how lucky it was for the Spell Caster civilization to step out from the Glorious Land, and set foot in billions of dimensions.

"They're here, they're coming! Wizards, please hurry up and leave. Elder Foba, take these two Wizards away!"

The three Elders saw the Two-headed People in front of him charging toward the tribe to massacre them. Ordinary people, as long as they were not Seventh-level Mind Power Masters, could hardly resist these ferocious Two-headed People.

"Wizard Luce, let's do it. Leave none alive!"

Merlin raised his head, and looked at the Two-headed People in front of them, his eyes brimming with killing intent.

"Wizard Luce?"

Elder Foba was quite shocked and hurriedly warned, "Wizard Merlin, these Two-headed People are quite powerful, especially the Three-headed People. Even Seventh-level Mind Power Masters like us can only fight them one on one in general. You'd better leave. Bring the successors of the Gigula Tribe, and escape to Spellcast City. Safety is assured there!"

However, Wizard Luce took a step forward, and his body gradually rose into the air. He gazed coldly at the teeming masses of Two-headed People in the distance, and suddenly turned back to Elder Foba and the rest, laughing heartily. "Haha, take a good look at what a real Spell Caster is like! Our Spell Caster civilization commands myriads of dimensions, and is incomparably mighty. In the outside world, these Two-headed People aren't even worthy as slaves!"

"Boom!"

After he spoke, surging vigorous flames appeared around Wizard Luce, burning ferociously like a scorching fireball. The light flaring from this blaze even outshone the three suns suspended high up in the sky.

The endless flames transformed into a sea of fire, engulfing all the two hundred Two-Headed People along with the ten Three-headed People. Countless Two-headed People were reduced to ashes in the blaze.

Regardless of whether they were Two-headed or Three-headed, all were unable to withstand such a terrifying Fire-type spell. Even if they had two lives or three, they were trapped in the flames and were incinerated. The number of lives they had was of no consequence.

"Spell Caster… This is a true Spell Caster…"

"Wizard Luce said earlier that we Spell Casters are so powerful outside the Slothful Beast world. These fearsome Two-headed People aren't even qualified to be slaves?"

"What frightening flames. This is the power of spells possessed by Spell Casters? Although I've heard before that Spell Casters are formidable, I didn't think that they're this powerful. Spell Casters who share the same root as us are actually so mighty?"

The Two-headed People were wailing in anguish whereas the two thousand or so people from the Gigula Tribe were now looking at Wizard Luce as he hovered in the sky. They were slack-jawed, and their spirits were vigorously roused. This was a true Spell Caster!

"Hoo…"

A light breeze swept by gently, and the air was filled with the smell of ashes but had no trace of blood stench. This was because all the Two-headed and Three-headed People had been reduced to ashes by Luce's flames.

Wizard Luce came down to the ground once more. These Two-headed and Three-headed People were nothing to him. Three-headed People were at best comparable to a Seventh-level Spell Caster while Four-headed People could only compare to a Ninth-level Spell Caster.

Even if the "king" which the Two-headed People had mentioned grew the fifth head, this would only be equivalent to a Great Wizard. In the Void Zone, a race with such a foundation was nothing at all. They would only have a precarious day-to-day existence, and could be wiped out at any time.

Any Great Legend among the Spell Casters would be sufficient to wipe out the Two-headed Tribe!

Nevertheless, in the Slothful Beast world, the Two-headed Tribe had become a powerful race, even snatching away Spell Casters frequently. Spell Casters without the Elements were indeed very puny.

Mind Power Masters could be rather powerful. Just because Foba and the rest had condensed a Seventh-level Mind Heart, their Mind Power could interact with the material world and unleash formidable attacks.

However, their numbers were too few when faced with the ten Three-headed People. With the Spell Casters' power being restricted in the Slothful Beast world, those who were able to condense a Mind Heart were far too rare.

In addition, those below the Seventh-level barely had any battle strength, causing the Spell Casters of the Slothful Beast world to be reduced to a weak group that many foreign tribes fought over.

Wizard Luce came down from the sky. The expressions of Elder Foba and the rest toward Wizard Luce had undergone a huge shift. Before this, they had known that Wizard Luce was a Ninth-level Spell Caster.

Nonetheless, they merely had a vague notion of this "Spell Caster", and did not really know how powerful a Spell Caster was. Now, Wizard Luce had easily vanquished, with a single attack, two hundred Two-headed People and ten formidable Three-headed People. He instantly demonstrated the might of a Ninth-level Spell Caster. Elder Foba and the rest were naturally very respectful toward Wizard Luce.

"This is the real strength of Spell Casters! It's too bad that there are no Elements in the Slothful Beast world. Otherwise, based on your formidable Mind Power, all of you can become powerful Spell Casters!"

Wizard Luce shook his head slightly. These Wizards with tremendous Mind Power might not be aware of the opportunities they could have. If there were Elements in the Slothful Beast world, how could those foreign tribes have taken over?

"Alright. The crisis has been resolved. The Spell Casters from the other tribes haven't arrived…"

Before he could finish, Merlin suddenly raised his head, his eyes glimmering as he looked ahead.

"So, they've already arrived!"

A gust of Mind Power kicked up a storm which whistled as it swept toward a direction.

"Haha, it looks like you two are the newly arrived Spell Casters! I've witnessed the Ninth-level spell cast by this Wizard here. Tsk tsk, its power isn't bad at all, and it definitely shocked that group of Two-headed People. However, don't you think this is too wasteful? You've used Magic Power to cast spells. If those old fellows learn about this, they would hop around in anger!"

A purple-robed old man had been concealed in mid-air since unknown time. Merlin's heart trembled slightly. He had not noticed the man at all. If it was not for that the man who had leaked a trace of his force, Merlin would not have detected it with his Mind Power, and would not have known that someone had been hiding there for so long.

"Who are you?"

Merlin questioned in an icy tone.

"I'm like you, I'm an arrival! However, I've already been in the Slothful Beast world for more than two thousand years…"

The purple-robed old man gradually turned solemn as he spoke in low tones.

"You're a Spell Caster too?"

Merlin turned to Elder Foba beside him, who carefully evaluated this purple-robed old man before realizing something. Elder Foba widened his eyes, saying in astonishment, "You… You're Ancestor Bluerock of the Bluerock Tribe?"

This purple-robed old man seemed to have an extraordinary status as Foba appeared amazed.

"Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce! If I've guessed correctly, he's Ancestor Bluerock. He's indeed from the batch of Spell Casters who had arrived in the Slothful Beast world earlier. It's been over two thousand years, and most of those arrivals have died but Ancestor Bluerock has lived on. Moreover, he's a very powerful Ninth-level Mind Power Master! He founded the Bluerock Tribe by himself, and expanded it to one of the strongest tribes of Spell Casters!"

"Ninth-level Mind Power Master!"

Merlin took note of Foba's description of Ancestor Bluerock's Mind Power. It was not surprising that even Merlin had not noticed Ancestor Bluerock previously. The storm stirred up by his Mind Power was of no threat at all to Ancestor Bluerock.

A Ninth-level Mind Power Master… If equipped with Occult Mind Spells, he would be rather terrifying!

Ancestor Bluerock approached Merlin and Luce. Although he was using Mind Power, Merlin and Luce could acutely sense a faint trace of Elemental fluctuations on Ancestor Bluerock.

"There are still Spell Models in your body?"

Merlin asked, flabbergasted.

"Of course there are! Otherwise, how can I live on until today? I would have died in about a century, just like they would. If it wasn't for the support of the Spell Models in our bodies, no one would live for long."

Ancestor Bluerock pointed toward Foba and the other elders. They looked to be even older than Ancestor Bluerock. However, they were merely sixty to seventy years old whereas Ancestor Bluerock had lived for over two thousand years.

Other than the Blackfire Lord, Merlin had never seen a Spell Caster who had really lived for so long. In theory, a Ninth-level Spell Caster could live for more than a few thousand years while an ordinary Legend had a lifespan of around nine thousand years.

However, in truth, it had only been three thousand years since Spell Casters first stepped out of the Glorious Land, and set foot in the Void Zone. Many Great Legends had only appeared in the past hundred or thousand years.

"Both of you Wizards have entered the Slothful Beast world from the outside world, so surely you have some elemental crystal stones with you? I have a Flying casting tool here which I've spent great effort in transfiguring. I'd like to exchange this for some elemental crystal stones. What are your thoughts?"

Ancestor Bluerock seemed rather eager as he took out plain casting tool, shaped like a flying ship, from his Spatial Ring. There was no trace of Elemental fluctuations around the item, only the imprint of some runes.

Nonetheless, Merlin and Luce could tell that this was a relatively decent Flying casting tool. Perhaps it was slightly inferior to Merlin's Aurora Ship but it was already a rather respectable tool for a Ninth-level Spell Caster.

As Merlin already had the Aurora Ship, naturally, he was not that interested in this casting tool. Conversely, Wizard Luce did not have a single Flying casting tool, so he was very tempted.

"Wizard Luce, I already have the Aurora Ship. If you like this casting tool, then go ahead and exchange for it."

Merlin seemed to discern some hesitation on Wizard Luce's part, so he smiled as he reassured Luce.

Ancestor Bluerock quickly turned his gaze toward Wizard Luce, and said hurriedly, "Wizard Luce, this casting tool has been with me for more than two thousand years. If it were not for my pressing circumstances, I wouldn't trade it no matter what."

Before this, Wizard Luce, along with Merlin and the Legend Zado, had dug up over ten million elemental crystal stones. Therefore, he had sufficient financial capability now. In the outside world, this casting tool would cost at least a million elemental crystal stones.

"Ancestor Bluerock, how many elemental crystal stones are you willing to exchange this for?"

An irrepressible burst of joy appeared on Ancestor Bluerock's face. After a moment of consideration, he carefully named a price. "A thousand elemental crystal stones. What do you think?"

"How much? A thousand elemental crystal stones?"

Merlin and Luce could not help but exclaim. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with incredulity.

Upon seeing how taken aback both of them were, Ancestor Bluerock seemed to panic and clenched his jaw. "If you think a thousand elemental crystal stones are too much, five hundred then. I only want five hundred elemental crystal stones, and the casting tool belongs to you!"

Ancestor Bluerock stared unwaveringly at Wizard Luce.

"Five hundred…"

Merlin and Luce were both filled with a sense of disbelief. They took a closer look at this casting tool, which did not seem to have any defects.

With various Runic Magic Circles and precious materials, transfiguring this casting tool must have cost a significant sum, but it was now being sold for only five hundred elemental crystal stones.

In the Spell Caster world, what could five hundred elemental crystal stones buy? Perhaps it could only be used to replenish the Magic Power of one's Spell Models.

"Very well, five hundred elemental crystal stones. I'll buy it!"

Wizard Luce agreed without hesitation. Even if this casting tool was defective and even if it could not be used, it could not be purchased for a mere five hundred elemental crystal stones. As a recycled good, sold as just scrap material, it would fetch more than five hundred elemental crystal stones.

A look of glee crossed Ancestor Bluerock's face, and he immediately handed over the casting tool to Wizard Luce.

Just then, an aloof voice rang out. "Heh heh, young fellows, if you don't want to be filled with regrets in the future, you would reconsider using the incomparably precious elemental crystal stones to buy this piece of trash!"

"Hmm?"

Merlin, Luce, and the rest instantly looked toward the sky. An old man dressed in a long, ash-white Wizard robe was glaring coldly at Ancestor Bluerock.

Chapter 569: Precious Elemental Crystal Stones!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Elder Yani, why didn't you just stay in your tribe? Why do you come to the Gigula Tribe?"

When he saw the old man dressed in a long, ash-white robe, Ancestor Bluerock snorted coldly, appearing disgruntled.

"Ancestor Bluerock, if I hadn't come, you'd have gotten away with your tricks!"

After a pause, Elder Yani said to Merlin and Luce, "Both of you Wizards have just arrived in the Slothful Beast world, and don't understand much about the general situation here. I have no casting tools to exchange but I have information that you most want to know. With only two hundred elemental crystal stones, you'll understand everything about the Slothful Beast world! I guarantee that, to you both, this information will be extremely important!"

"Two hundred elemental crystal stones in exchange for information?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes. His gaze flitted between Elder Yani and Ancestor Bluerock constantly. They seemed to require elemental crystal stones urgently.

"Five hundred elemental crystal stones. Wizard Luce, make the trade with Ancestor Bluerock. Still, I believe that Ancestor Bluerock won't mind telling us the general state of affairs in the Slothful Beast world?"

Merlin grinned widely as he spoke to Ancestor Bluerock.

Ancestor Bluerock was overjoyed and laughed heartily. "Haha, that's right, what's a bit of information? The stuff that I know isn't lacking compared to the rest, if only you complete the transaction."

Wizard Luce did not hesitate, and immediately handed over five hundred elemental crystal stones. He and Merlin each possessed more than ten million elemental crystal stones. A mere sum of five hundred elemental crystal stones was nothing.

"Buzz."

As soon as he received the casting tool, Wizard Luce immediately used Magic Power to activate the tool. He was euphoric as he examined this casting tool that was in perfect condition, and hastened to leave his mind imprint with an admiring expression as if he would never part with it.

As for Ancestor Bluerock, after he had obtained the five hundred elemental crystal stones, he shot a look at the gloomy Elder Yani, and chuckled softly. "Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, what Elder Yani wanted to say was nothing more than how precious elemental crystal stones are. I believe both of you must've realized that there are no Elements in the entire Slothful Beast world?"

Merlin and Luce nodded. They had observed long ago that the entire Slothful Beast world had no Elements. Elder Foba and the rest, for instance, despite having awakened their Mind Power, were still unable to become Spell Casters as there were no Elements.

Ancestor Bluerock let out a long sigh, and continued ruefully. "Without Elements, we Spell Casters who came from the outside world to the Slothful Beast world thus lose an important source of power. In order to survive and live longer, we do our best to save our elemental crystal stones, using them sparingly. Other than maintaining the small amounts of Elements required by our Spell Models, we won't use any Magic Power.

"Due to this, almost every Spell Caster would choose to become a Mind Power Master after entering the Slothful Beast world, to prevent the consumption of Magic Power! The function of Magic Power and Spell Models is to maintain the activity of our Spell Caster bodies, allowing us to live longer. Otherwise, I couldn't have possibly lived for more than two thousand years…"

Ancestor Bluerock's words were plain enough, unequivocal in his meaning. Merlin raised his head and said thoughtfully, "In other words, in the Slothful Beast world, elemental crystal stones are extremely precious, being life-saving treasures for many Spell Casters?"

"Haha, very good, you understand!"

Ancestor Bluerock cracked an awkward smile. After all, he had just "conned" five hundred life-saving elemental crystal stones from Merlin and Luce.

"Humph, and you thought you found a good deal? In the Slothful Beast world, casting tools are the most useless of all. Even the strongest casting tools, without the fuel of Magic Power, aren't of the slightest use. It's not even a scrap material! Before this, I was just like you both, Spell Casters who had come to the Slothful Beast world from the outside world, including Ancestor Bluerock and I. At the start, we wantonly used elemental crystal stones to exchange for things, but after that… You can see that this casting tool isn't transfigured by Ancestor Bluerock through any great effort at all but something he had exchanged using elemental crystal stones back then. Heh, he has many similar casting tools with him, but now, he has no choice but to use the same method to obtain some elemental crystal stones."

Ancestor Bluerock appeared rather embarrassed. It was just as Elder Yani had said. He had a few casting tools with him which he had exchanged for liberally when he had first arrived in the Slothful Beast world, thinking he was profiting greatly. It was only thereafter that he slowly discerned the value of elemental crystal stones, but had no way of getting them back.

"Actually, if both of you can leave the Slothful Beast world, you'd have hit the jackpot."

"Humph, leave the Slothful Beast world? Bluerock, you've been in the Slothful Beast world for two thousand years or so. Have you heard of anyone leaving the Slothful Beast world?"

Both of them were at loggerheads, but the atmosphere gradually turned cool.

After a long moment, Merlin voiced out slowly, "This means that the both of you, along with Spell Casters who came to the Gigula Tribe, intend to get our elemental crystal stones?"

"That's generally the case. I believe that there'll be those who'll constantly trade things for more elemental crystal stones with both of you. After all, in the Slothful Beast world, it's been eight hundred or so years since a Spell Caster had arrived. Elemental crystal stones have become even rarer and more precious!"

"Surely it doesn't stop at trading? Who can tell, someone might even try to rob us directly!"

Merlin barked out a humorless laugh. Ancestor Bluerock and Yani both fell silent in response. Merlin now somewhat understood why Ancestor Bluerock, who had clearly reached the Gigula Tribe, did not show himself for so long, and instead hid in the surroundings.

Ancestor Bluerock's motive was to observe the abilities of Merlin and Luce. If Luce had not displayed his awesome power, Ancestor Bluerock would not hesitate in the slightest to rob them.

Just as Merlin was about to question further, a few figures appeared in the distant sky, all of whom were powerful Mind Power Masters who could use Mind Power to walk on air.

"Swish swish swish."

This time, there were five of them coming in from the distance. After spotting Ancestor Bluerock and Elder Yani, all five of their faces shifted slightly.

"Haha, I didn't think that both of you are any quicker!"

Bluerock and Yani were unwavering in their expressions, saying calmly, "All of you from Spellcast City isn't slow either!"

The five who had just arrived were Mind Power Masters from Spellcast City, and two of them were covered in vigorous Elemental fluctuations. Those two were like Merlin and Luce – Spell Casters who could cast spells!

All seven of them were Ninth-level Mind Power Masters, and could be considered to be standing at the peak of the Spell Caster tribe.

"Both of you Wizards have just arrived in the Slothful Beast world. We have some casting tool here. If you wish to exchange for them, you'll only need a small number of elemental crystal stones."

As soon as the Wizards of Spellcast City arrived, as expected, they began to "swindle" elemental crystal stones. At the same time, there were also some who were attentively taking in the measure of Merlin and Luce as if observing their strength.

Merlin did not bat an eyelid and only said calmly, "All seven of you Wizards have come from distant places. Let's go in for a chat. Wizard Luce and I have many questions. After that, I'll automatically gift you some elemental crystal stones!"

At the mention of "elemental crystal stones", their eyes brightened, and they nodded. They followed Merlin into a spacious conference hall.

Foba and the other three elders, as leaders of the Gigula Tribe, had the privilege of sitting in for the discussion as well. Looking at these Spell Casters who were normally so lofty, this time around, they were rather excited.

Nonetheless, the main focus of the hall was Merlin and Luce. Although these Wizards did not directly use their Mind Power to inspect Merlin and Luce brazenly, they did not conceal the desire in their eyes either.

"Everyone, Wizard Luce and I have a question of utmost concern. Please answer us if you're able!"

"I suppose Wizard Merlin wants to ask if it's possible to leave the Slothful Beast world?"

A Spell Caster from Spellcast City, dressed in a long white Wizard robe, smiled and spoke.

"That's right. I don't know if anyone knows of any way to leave the Slothful Beast world?"

Merlin did not deny this. At the moment, what he wanted to know most was how to leave the Slothful Beast world.

After a moment of pondering, Ancestor Bluerock ventured to speak, "It's not that there's no hope to leave the Slothful Beast world. There's a gigantic Vortex Hole here. According to rumors, if one can safely make it through the Vortex Hole, one would leave the Slothful Beast world. It's just that the Vortex Hole is filled with terrifying twisting power. Anyone who enters would be crushed into smithereens. Previously, there was one from a foreign tribe who had a unique gift. His body could even withstand an attack from a Great Legend. However, he tried to go through the Vortex Hole and was instantly twisted to death… Since then, no one has dared to enter the Vortex Hole.

"However, there's another rumor. If someone outside uses a powerful force to try and tear the Vortex Hole open, one would have a great chance of getting out. However, we're isolated from the outside world here in the Slothful Beast world, so how can we contact anyone outside? Moreover, even most Honored Legends wouldn't dare to act in the Slothful Beast world. It must be a Great Lord or even the Ultimate Arcane Wizard!"

After he finished speaking, Wizard Bluerock gave a bitter smile. How could they possibly know any Great Lords? Honored Legends were rare enough, to say nothing of Great Lords and Arcane Wizards.

Therefore, after entering the Slothful Beast world, and understanding the situation here, they did not harbor any hopes of leaving.

"Oh? As long as there's a hope… Where's this Vortex Hole?"

Merlin and Wizard Luce trembled in excitement. This was the first piece of good news they had heard since they entered the Slothful Beast world. No matter what, as long as leaving the Slothful Beast world was not a completely futile hope, then that was enough. Even if it was a sliver of hope, it was a prospect!

"The Vortex Hole?"

Everyone present exchanged meaningful looks and broke out into bitter smiles.

"The Vortex Hole is currently occupied by the strongest faction in the Slothful Beast world, the Giant Tribe. They don't allow anyone to go near them. Forget about the fact that we're the weakest faction. Even if we team up with other powerful groups in the Slothful Beast world, we're still no match for the Giant Tribe. Their power in the Slothful Beast world is far too formidable!

"The one with the body of fearsome strength, who had tried to forcibly attempt the Vortex Hole, was the head of the Giant Tribe!"

At the mention of the Giant Tribe, everyone wore a powerless look. If this was the outside world, they would not be afraid of any civilization or tribe.

However, this was the Slothful Beast world where there were no Elements, and Spell Casters were the weakest faction…

Chapter 570: An Opportunity, Perhaps!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Vortex Hole was dominated by the Giant Tribe. Merlin eyed the Spell Casters in the hall, and suddenly asked in a soft voice, "Why are Spell Casters so weak? Even without Elements, you've refined your Mind Power and are all powerful Mind Power Masters. Why would we be so weak?"

Merlin did not quite understand. In the outside world, Mind Power Masters were on par with Spell Casters except at the apex of fighting power such as Great Legends. As the Mind Power system was not perfected, the strongest Mind Power Masters could only compare to a peak Great Wizard.

Nonetheless, in the Slothful Beast world, even if there were no powerful beings on par with Great Legends among the Spell Casters, did that mean that there were such beings in the foreign tribes? Even if Spell Casters had all turned into Mind Power Masters, they should not be so puny that even the lowly Two-headed Tribe could capture them easily.

This question caused everyone to fall into a deep silence.

It was a long while before Wizard Eldo of Spellcast City spoke carefully, "This matter is more complicated. How did you two Wizards enter the Slothful Beast world?"

"Of course, we were swallowed by the Slothful Beast. Is there actually any other way to enter the Slothful Beast world?"

Merlin asked, mystified.

"Heh, of course, there is. The two Wizards beside me entered the Slothful Beast's body out of curiosity around a thousand years ago. They were unable to leave ever since…"

Merlin glanced at the two Spell Casters beside Wizard Eldo, and was somewhat speechless. There were people who went in the Slothful Beast's body of their own free will. Nonetheless, with the Slothful Beast's immense body, many people, even upon entering its body, would not realize it was a humongous beast.

Wizard Eldo continued saying, "We Spell Casters only set foot in the Void Zone three thousand years ago while a Slothful Beast can easily exist for ten thousand, a hundred thousand, even a million years! Thus, the history of a Slothful Beast is much more extensive than us Spell Casters…

"A Slothful Beast would swallow constantly. It's like a bottomless pit. Once it awakens, it'll swallow everything no matter what it is! No one can really ascertain how many dimensions this Slothful Beast has swallowed… In such a long time, many foreign tribes have naturally come to the Slothful Beast world ahead of us. They've developed into massive factions here, and adapted to the environment of the Slothful Beast world.

"Thereafter, the first batch of Spell Casters was swallowed by the Slothful Beast. At first, they were very powerful, and quickly stirred up a storm in the Slothful Beast world, indicating the arrival of Spell Casters! How I miss those times. The Spell Casters' might was something other tribes found hard to resist. We Spell Casters were the greatest force in the Slothful Beast world for a period of time!

"However, good things don't last. Quickly, that first generation of Spell Casters discovered that their elemental crystal stones were running out, and there were no Elements here to replenish their Magic Power. Thus, you can imagine their fates… The glory of that first batch of Spell Casters persisted only for a short while. It was so fast that most of the Spell Casters now don't even know that we once enjoyed such a glorious age!

"Later on, Spell Casters who were lucky to survive gradually got used to the Slothful Beast world and began to cultivate their Mind Power. It's too bad that the Mind Power system isn't perfected, and requires too much aptitude, so the Spell Casters' development was very slow. For a relatively long time, the faction of Spell Casters was very puny, but thereafter, a noble presence changed everything!

"That noble presence is Titus! Titus himself was a formidable Mind Power Master. After being swallowed into the Slothful Beast world, he used over five hundred years to refine the Mind Power system resolutely. In the end, he singlehandedly elevated the system of Mind Power Masters into an unimaginable stage…"

Merlin looked up abruptly, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. To date, no one had perfected the Mind Power system. It was the highest goal of countless Mind Power Masters in the Spell Caster civilization.

Could it be that in the Slothful Beast world, someone had perfected the Mind Power system?

"Wizard Eldo, did this Titus really develop the Mind Power system?"

Merlin's voice was shaking slightly. If one really perfected the Mind Power system, how terrifying would that be? Now, Merlin was no longer a Spell Caster who knew nothing as he was back then. He was enlightened by the Blackfire Lord, and knew profoundly how difficult it was to perfect the Mind Power system. Understanding the Essence of Mind Power would turn illusory into reality. Perhaps for Spell Casters, they would merely form a Maxim.

However, to a Mind Power Master, this would go against the natural order. Once someone had really perfected the Mind Power system and understood the Essence of Mind Power, their achievements would be something even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards could not imagine.

Wizard Eldo shook his head helplessly. "How could it be that easy to perfect the Mind Power system? I even suspect that it's totally impossible for someone to achieve that… Still, Titus's use of Mind Power truly did surpass a Great Wizard, and can even match a Legend!"

"Match a Legend?"

Merlin was truly shocked this time. Back when he was cultivating Nine Hit Strike, he heard Wizard Ossais mentioned that the highest state of Nine Hit Strike was comparable to a Great Legend. Perhaps that would develop the Mind Power system.

As a result, Ossais began to venture in the Void Zone, trying to discover the point where the Occult Mind Spell could be cultivated to Nine Hit Strike.

Nevertheless, Merlin had encountered the Blackfire Lord thereafter, and gradually learned that perfecting the Mind Power system was not that simple. After truly perfecting it, it was impossible that one's attainment would merely be a Great Legend.

"That's right, match a Legend! A pure Mind Power Master who had cultivated Mind Power to the level of a Legend. At that time, Titus nearly took the entire Slothful Beast world by storm, allowing Spell Casters to dominate the Slothful Beast world for the first time! He had proved that, even without Elements, we Spell Casters can become matchlessly powerful…"

"Where's Titus?"

Merlin stood up in haste, his gaze piercing into Eldo. Someone had progressed so far in the Mind Power system. It was not surprising that Merlin felt in the entire Slothful Beast world, the Mind Power system was far more advanced that it was in the Void Zone.

Perhaps this was an opportunity. If he could meet Titus and ask for guidance, Merlin might be able to advance further in his search for the Essence of Mind Power.

However, faced with Merlin's inquiry, Wizard Eldo shook his head heavily and sighed. "He's dead…"

"Dead?"

"Yes, dead! No matter how accomplished Titus was in terms of Mind Power, ultimately, he still had not grasped the Essence of Mind Power. Without elemental crystal stones, his body was just like a Normie's, quickly decaying to his death… However, Titus had left behind Spellcast City as a haven for Spell Casters after his death when the influence of Spell Casters would be greatly reduced. As for those outside Spellcast City, we're powerless to help them."

Eldo's words resolved many questions that Merlin was wondering about. It was not surprising that Foba and the rest longed with all their hearts to move the Gigula Tribe into Spellcast City.

"So, after Titus, none of you managed to reach his level?"

"No one had ever approached Titus' level. After his death, some foreign tribes carried out mass attacks and massacres against Spell Casters, leading to the decline of our power. Now, among all our Spell Casters, Ninth-level Mind Power Masters are the strongest we have, and there are only a mere eleven in total…"

Eleven Ninth-level Mind Power Masters – this was the strongest force of the Spell Caster faction in the Slothful Beast world. Among the many foreign tribes, this small force was rather weak.

The pinnacle of their fighting strength was few in number hence it was nothing significant. As a result, the foreign tribes no longer viewed Spell Casters as a threat.

"Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, if you're willing to go to Spellcast City, we'll be glad to open the monument which Titus had left behind for you two. All of his understanding of Mind Power is in that monument."

Eldo extended an invitation to Merlin and Wizard Luce.

Merlin was tempted. He and Wizard Luce had come to the Slothful Beast world by accident. Initially, he thought that he was as good as dead but an unexpected opportunity had arisen. To have someone achieved the level of a Great Legend on the path of a Mind Power Master was already no easy feat.

Perhaps this was a chance for Merlin to obtain a more immediate and comprehensive understanding of the Mind Power system. Therefore, he was really tempted by Titus' monument.

Nonetheless, Merlin knew that he would not be able to visit this monument so easily.

"What do you need?"

Merlin did not even look up as he asked.

"It's simple – elemental crystal stones, and I mean large amounts of elemental crystal stones! In Spellcast City, we have nine Ninth-level Mind Power Masters in total, and there are also Ancestor Bluerock and Elder Yani from outside, making a total of eleven Ninth-level Mind Power Masters, all of whom form the greatest fighting force in the Spell Caster faction! Thus, each of the nine Ninth-level Mind Power Masters of Spellcast City would need at least ten thousand elemental crystal stones before they would agree to let you enter Spellcast City to study Titus' monument!"

Eldo brought up this condition and the entire hall fell silent instantly.

Ten thousand elemental crystal stones – even if Merlin agreed, he would only give up ninety thousand elemental crystal stones. With the number of elemental crystal stones in both the Spatial Rings of Merlin and Wizard Luce, this amount of elemental crystal stones was merely a drop in the ocean.

If they used the elemental crystal stones purely to sustain their Spell Models, the elemental crystal stones of Merlin and Luce were even enough to last them for ten thousand years… With such a long period, if Merlin and Wizard Luce did not break through to an Honored Legend, they would not even be capable of living that long.

However, this was their secret. In the Slothful Beast world, these elemental crystal stones were enough to drive anyone crazy. Perhaps the rest were currently apprehensive of Luce's strength, but if they learned of this hoard of elemental crystal stones, they would try to get it at any cost.

Nevertheless, if Merlin waited until the black cat Didimoss awoke, then this would not be of concern!

"I can give you ninety thousand elemental crystal stones, but I have my conditions too. That is, you must allow the entire Gigula Tribe to move into Spellcast City!"

This was Merlin's initial promise to Elder Foba.

"You… Both of you have really agreed? That's ninety thousand elemental crystal stones!"

Eldo did not expect that Merlin would agree so readily. Even though they knew that Spell Casters who had just arrived from the outside world to the Slothful Beast world would have many elemental crystal stones, the thought that Merlin would hand over ninety thousand elemental crystal stones all at once caused them to look at Merlin and Wizard Luce in an incomparably fervent manner!

In the wide-open sky, a total of seven figures were flying forward at maximum speed.

Merlin would occasionally sense one or two gazes scanning him. These were searching looks or perhaps contemplative ones.

After he had agreed to hand over ninety thousand elemental crystal stones all at once, these probing gazes occurred more frequently. Merlin knew that the five Ninth-level Mind Power Masters were considering their options.

It was far too tempting. Merlin and Luce were only two Wizards. If they had managed to kill Merlin, they would obtain far more than ninety thousand elemental crystal stones.

However, they were still hesitant because they were unsure of Merlin and Luce's true strength. They had not used their spells for so long, and it was difficult to judge the abilities of the pair based on Mind Power alone.

Therefore, they could only scrutinize wordlessly but ultimately dared not act rashly.

As for Merlin and Luce, they were aware of these notions of the Mind Power Masters, but Wizard Luce was not worried at all. He had been with Merlin for so long, and naturally knew the extent of his powers.

Merlin belonged to a class of freakish Spell Casters, and was considered a genius even in Arcane City. His spell fusion came infinitely close to a Great Wizard, and might even be comparable to the most common Great Wizard.

Darkness Eye was even more terrifying. The Darkness Demon Spirit it summoned was on par with a Great Wizard at their peak, only a shade inferior to the top Great Wizard.

With these two abilities, whether or not Merlin could dominate the Slothful Beast world, self-perseverance was not an issue at all. In the Slothful Beast world where there were no Great Legends, Merlin was among the highest ranks!

Thus, never mind that these people had all sorts of ideas. If they acted upon those ideas and dared to attack, naturally, Merlin would not simply be a sitting duck!

The atmosphere between both parties was somewhat tense. Fortunately, all the way to Spellcast City, no conflict erupted between both sides. Eldo and the rest ultimately did not dare to attack Merlin and Luce.

Perhaps this was in consideration of the fact that they were Spell Casters too. Of course, this was only a small reason. The biggest factor was that Merlin and Luce could cast spells, so their abilities could not be judged clearly. As a result, no one dared to attack.

"Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, this is Spellcast City!"

Eldo pointed toward Spellcast City. This gigantic city founded personally by Titus induced a sense of amazement in Merlin and Luce.

This was because the city was floating in mid-air, somewhat similar to the floating continent in the dimension of the Satsuma God. However, Spellcast City relied upon Runic Magic Circles to support the city.

Spellcast City was surrounded by dense masses of Runic Magic Circles that exuded a powerful force. Merlin secretly used the Runic Heartprint to examine them, and discovered that these Runic Magic Circles were very complex. He could not even dissect them using the Runic Heartprint.

This meant that Titus was profoundly accomplished in runology as well.

"Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, Spellcast City is controlled by the nine of us. Each of us has left our mind imprint on one part of it. As long as five of us agree, the defenses of the entire Spellcast City can be activated. We can even mobilize Spellcast City to fly away. This is a city that can be moved. In other words, it's a mighty casting tool…"

Eldo gave a detailed explanation of Spellcast City, and Merlin nodded repeatedly. Spellcast City appeared extraordinary. It was not surprising that it had served as the sturdiest fort of the Spell Casters.

This time, Eldo and the other four had gone to the Gigula Tribe, which indicated a level of sincerity. With five of them, Spellcast City could be controlled.

"The Gigula Tribe will need some time before they reach Spellcast City. At that time, I'll need your cooperation in opening Spellcast City."

Merlin still had not forgotten about the Gigula Tribe.

"Haha, be rest assured, Wizard Merlin. The Gigula Tribe consists of merely two thousand or so people. Our Spellcast City can easily accommodate them. Alright, both Wizards, please come in. The other four Wizards have been waiting inside Spellcast City long ago."

Eldo and the other four Ninth-level Mind Power Masters each released their Mind Power. With the combined efforts of all five, they controlled Spellcast City to open a passageway.

"Swish swish."

With that, the seven of them quickly flew into the passage.Within Spellcast City, Merlin and Luce strolled along the busy street. The city's bustling activity far exceeded both of their imaginations. Many passersby had decent Mind Power.

There was many Sixth-level Mind Power Masters, and even an occasional Seventh-level Mind Power Master who had condensed a Mind Heart. This was a distinct contrast from the weakness of the Gigula Tribe.

"If there were more people in Spellcast City, the faction of Spell Casters would not fall to such a stage!"

Wizard Eldo spoke rather ruefully. The Spell Caster faction was so puny now that many of them had been reduced to specific targets captured by foreign tribes. Of course, Wizard Eldo and the rest did not feel good about this.

"Wizard Merlin, we'll head to the castellan's hall for discussion!"

"Castellan? Who's the current castellan of Spellcast City?"

Merlin asked casually.

Wizard Eldo shook his head. "At the moment, there are no castellans of Spellcast City. There has only been one castellan in Spellcast City, and that's Titus who had established Spellcast City! After Titus, no one else can be castellan. Presently, Spellcast City is jointly managed by us nine Ninth-level Mind Power Masters."

Following that, they arrived at a simple castle. Its architectural style was similar to the outside world's, only it was less influenced by the Molta Empire's era, and more influenced by the style of buildings that gradually took shape after Spell Casters had entered the Void Zone.

This indirectly indicated that Titus must have entered the Slothful Beast world only after Spell Casters had already set foot in the Void Zone for a long time.

Upon entering the castle, they immediately saw the four Ninth-level Mind Power Masters. These four were not that different from Eldo. When they noticed Merlin and Luce, they directed their gazes at the pair.

"Both of you must be Wizard Merlin and Wizard Luce who had just arrived in the Slothful Beast world?"

An old man with grizzled hair among those four smiled and spoke. Before this, Eldo must have transmitted the details of what had happened back to Spellcast City. After all, this was not the Void Zone. Although space was more fragile here, it still existed so one could use certain methods to transmit information.

"Everyone, I came to Spellcast City for the sake of Titus' monument! Whereas all of you are here for elemental crystal stones. Naturally, Wizard Luce and I will fulfill our previous promise to you!"

Merlin did not delay his purpose here. He knew that throughout the journey here, Eldo and the rest had been anxiously waiting for the elemental crystal stones. As they had not reached Spellcast City, they did not say anything.

Therefore, Merlin might as well hand out the elemental crystal stones immediately. Right away, ninety thousand elemental crystal stones floated into the air. Merlin waved a hand and they flew toward the nine old men respectively.

"Oh? It's really elemental crystal stones!"

"Ten thousand elemental crystal stones can sustain us for around twenty years. It really isn't easy to obtain…"

Upon receiving the ten thousand elemental crystal stones, the nine Mind Power Masters were deeply moved. In the Slothful Beast world, ten thousand elemental crystal stones could be considered a huge fortune.

After a long moment, Wizard Eldo kept his elemental crystal stones, and said calmly, "Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, I'll bring you both to Titus' monument."

With that, Wizard Eldo led Merlin and Luce, and immediately turned, and departed from the castle, leaving the remaining eight Ninth-level Mind Power Masters to exchange dismayed looks.

"What does Eldo mean by this?"

"Is he afraid that we won't succeed if we attack here?"

"That is uncertain… Both Merlin and Luce must've quite a number of elemental crystal stones. If someone can't hold back from attacking and cause us trouble, this won't end well."

The remaining eight Mind Power Masters were not unified in their views. It seemed that there were some who still had other ideas, thinking about striking Merlin and Luce.After leaving the castle, Eldo quickened his pace. After turning a few corners, he slowed down and turned around, wearing a solemn expression.

"Both Wizards, if there's no need for you to do so, don't approach the Ninth-level Mind Power Masters by yourself!"

Eldo's expression was serious as if he had made a weighty decision in saying this.

Merlin's eyes flashed strangely, and he suddenly laughed, before slowly saying, "Wizard Eldo, you mean that someone might become envious of our elemental crystal stones and try to get the stones through underhanded means?"

Eldo eyed Merlin, and knew he could not hide the truth. After all, Merlin was not an idiot. Those Wizards' stares were so undisguised in their desire that anyone could see what was going on.

"Both Wizards, it's been very, very long since a Spell Caster had arrived in the Slothful Beast world, and there's an extreme scarcity of elemental crystal stones. For Spell Casters who still have some elemental crystal stones to sustain themselves, they might be able to keep themselves in check. However, those who have no elemental crystal stones might throw caution to the wind in order to survive!"

Merlin expressed his gratitude toward Eldo's kind reminder. In the Slothful Beast world, there were indeed Spell Casters who would go mad over elemental crystal stones. To them, elemental crystal stones were something that would save their lives.

"We'll be on our guard."

Seeing that Merlin and Luce had understood, Eldo did not say anything else. He had already warned them, and how things would turn out was not something under his control.

"Very well! I'll bring you to Titus' monument now!"

After he spoke, Eldo continued to lead Merlin and Luce forward.

Soon enough, they arrived at a place where there stood a massive stone tablet. One might call it a stone tablet but it was more of a stone wall, unparalleled in size, casting a shadow beneath the suns.

In this shadowed area sat around ten or twenty Mind Power Masters. Based on the Mind Power fluctuations around them, they had consolidated their Mind Hearts, being Mind Power Masters of at least the Seventh-level.

Chapter 572: The Three Main Stages of Hallucinating Spells

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Wizard Merlin, be careful not to get too close to the monument. We call this stone tablet the Illusion Monument. If you get too close, you'll be affected by the illusion. Titus had a specific direction of understanding Mind Power. He believed that for Mind Power Masters to understand the Essence, they must first familiarize themselves with Hallucinating spells, cultivating them to their peak!"

After hearing Eldo's explanation, Merlin felt a surge of excitement deep within him. His previous first step in perfecting the system of Mind Power was aligned with Titus' reasoning.

Namely, to first focus on illusory before material. One must cultivate Hallucinating spell to its peak before one could begin to turn illusions into reality! It was just that Merlin had merely taken the first step whereas Titus had already gone on further ahead.

In a range of a few hundred meters around this stone, the place was covered by a mysterious force field. In this shadowed region, all the Mind Power Masters were sunken in an illusion, working hard to gain understanding.

"The Illusion Monument isn't that dangerous. It'll just affect Mind Power Masters slightly. Any Mind Power Master who enters the area of the Illusion Monument will automatically encounter some of Titus' previous understanding of Mind Power."

Merlin bobbed his head. He was now bursting with eagerness, so he turned to Wizard Luce and asked, "Wizard Luce, are you heading in?"

Wizard Luce shook his head in response. "I don't have much understanding of Mind Power, and probably won't learn much even if I go in. I'll just wait outside."

Wizard Luce had not much talent in regard to Mind Power, and had no desire to go in and be enlightened.

Eldo smiled and said, "Wizard Merlin, stay here and gain understanding to your heart's content. It doesn't matter how long. The Illusion Monument is open to everyone, and any Mind Power Master above the Seventh-level can enter! I'll take my leave first…"

With that, Eldo immediately turned, and left.

Seeing that Eldo had left, Merlin's expression gradually grew somber, and he said to Wizard Luce softly, "Wizard Luce, be on your guard when you're outside. To us, Spellcast City isn't a safe place!"

Wizard Luce knew what Merlin was referring to, and nodded cautiously. "Wizard Merlin, please be rest assured. I'll keep an eye out. If they really try anything, humph, they shouldn't be surprised if we don't hold back!"

Although Wizard Luce was nothing much in the Spell Caster world but in the Slothful Beast world, he was still a Ninth-level Spell Caster, one who could cast spells. He could be considered someone rather powerful, so he was unafraid of the Mind Power Masters of Spellcast City.

With Wizard Luce outside, Merlin was more assured. Thus, he drew in a deep breath, and immediately stepped into the Illusion Monument.

As soon as he stepped into the Illusion Monument's range, he instantly felt a mystical force field around him. His Mind Power could not help but be drawn to the Illusion Monument.

Nonetheless, Merlin did not resist. He knew that this was a tactic set up by Titus. Only then could he receive the contents left behind by Titus on the Illusion Monument.

"Boom!"

It was as if an explosion had occurred in Merlin's mind. A huge stream of information surged into his mind. It was the information that Titus had left behind on the Illusion Monument.

The amount of information was colossal, encompassing Titus' understanding of Mind Power back then, and even his complete theory of the Mind Power system.

His theory was just as Merlin and the Blackfire Lord had inferred. To understand the Essence of Mind Power, one must turn illusions into reality. This general direction was correct but it went against the natural order and was destined to be more difficult than a Spell Caster's path.

As for how to turn illusions into reality, Titus had taken the same first step as Merlin did, which was to first cultivate Hallucinating spells to their peak. Moreover, Titus had separated this process into three stages.

The first stage was Hallucinating spells, the second stage was Illusory Heart, and the third stage was Illusory Dimension.

The first stage, Hallucinating spells, referred to the mighty Hallucinating spells which used Mind Power to influence one's opponent in a traceless manner. This could cause an opponent's error in judgment, where they were not even aware of being caught in an illusion.

This stage was all-inclusive, encompassing every Hallucinating spell. It was just a collective term for that realm, and even the Blackfire Lord's Hallucinating spell which was so inconceivable to Merlin back then was merely in the first stage. It was simply a Hallucinating spell!

The second stage was Illusory Heart, which was extremely terrifying as it could cause people to sink into endless oblivion, unable to extricate themselves from the illusion forever. It could even control the hearts of enemies, instantly turning them into zombies who would follow one's orders, just like puppets.

At this point, Merlin's heart was overcome by waves of surprise, and he was stunned. He had never heard of this theory so this was something unprecedented.

In fact, this was no longer just a theory because Titus had understood the second stage, Illusory Heart! As a result, he was equipped with power comparable to a Legend, able to dominate the Slothful Beast world.

"Scary, so scary! To control the souls of enemies without a sound… This is the truly scary part of Mind Power Masters!"

Merlin was shocked, even more so than when the Blackfire Lord had directed him to the path of Mind Power Masters. Merlin's first step was merely in the beginning stages of Hallucinating spells. Conversely, Titus had manifested his own theory, at least until the second stage, and he had succeeded!

Furthermore, this was not the scariest thing – there was still the third stage, Illusory World! This was the complete theory derived by Titus. One would be able to use Mind Power to gradually construct a dimension that only differed from a real dimension, and was unable to be transformed into reality.

Creating dimensions was something only the Great Ultimate Arcane Wizards could do. Not even Honored Legends and Great Lords could create dimensions. Nevertheless, the third stage derived by Titus pushed the limits of illusions, creating an entire illusory dimension.

If one could really do that, how powerful would one be? An Honored Legend? Even comparable to a Great King?

No one knew for sure. If one truly cultivated an Illusory World according to Titus' theory, one would be so formidable because even Titus did not cultivate until the third stage, Illusory World.

However, this was not the end of the theory derived by Titus. When "illusions" had reached the peak, Titus even hypothesized that one could turn illusions into reality, and thereafter, progress could likewise be divided into different stages.

It was just that by the time one could turn illusory into material, one would have to understand the Essence of Mind Power, and reverse the natural order. This would be something even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards would be roused by.

If there really came such a day when someone could achieve the level derived by Titus, turning illusions into reality, they would be even stronger than the Ultimate Arcane Wizard…

After going through all the information in his mind, Merlin was still in shock.

"Powerful, how powerful! Titus is the true genius among Mind Power Masters. Compared to him, my understanding of Mind Power is still so far behind…"

Merlin mumbled dejectedly. At first, he thought that after sitting through a lecture from the Blackfire Lord, he had pulled ahead of all Mind Power Masters in the Spell Caster world. He had even taken the first step in perfecting the Mind Power system in a short time.

Nevertheless, faced with Titus, Merlin felt sincere admiration. Not only did Titus devise a theory but he even followed that theory to its second stage, shattering the shackles of Mind Power Masters who could not contend against Legends.

Even if the theory he had devised was incorrect after the second stage, just the first and second stages alone – Hallucinating spells and Illusory Heart, were enough to match a Great Legend. Titus' great name would be spread across myriads of dimensions!

It was just a shame that Titus had only developed the theory of Mind Power system in the Slothful Beast world, and was unable to spread it to the Spell Caster civilization no matter what. Otherwise, the Blackfire Lord would not need to carry out his diligent investigation into Mind Power, and Ossais would not have risked everything to seek a chance for his Mind Power to break through.

Merlin stayed within the Illusion Monument for a long time. Anyone who first entered the Illusion Monument would be so astounded that they could not possibly imagine. According to Titus' categorization, the first stage of Hallucinating spells was a rather broad realm.

For instance, Merlin's current Hallucinating spell could fool a Ninth-level Spell Caster like Luce, yet it might not be effective against a Seventh-level Spell Caster with a Mind Heart.

Compare this to the Blackfire Lord's spell, which would fool even a Great Wizard. However, in truth, according to Titus' categorization, Merlin and the Blackfire Lord both belonged to the realm of the first stage, Hallucinating spells.

"Right now, I'm basically at the beginning stage of Hallucinating spells, still a long way from the Blackfire Lord's Hallucinating spell, to say nothing of the second stage Illusory Heart…"

Merlin meditated on the matter before soothing his own emotions. Titus' division of stages in the Mind Power system was merely a general way of classification, not an indication of specific cultivation methods.

Perhaps Titus had reached the stage of Illusory Heart due to various favorable factors. In order to reach that level, a Mind Power Master had to depend on their own understanding.

Nevertheless, with and without direction were two completely different things. Merlin, for instance, had received guidance from the Blackfire Lord and had stepped into the first stage in a short time. It was after he had gained the right direction that he was able to progress so quickly.

Following that, Merlin began to silently attempt to improve his Hallucinating spell below the Illusion Monument. Perhaps even Merlin himself did not realize that by beginning to understand Hallucinating spells today, he was already like a peak Great Wizard who began to try consolidating a Maxim.

In both cases, they were relying on themselves to gain an understanding!"Phew…"

Merlin opened his eyes. He had been sitting below the Illusion Monument for half a month. During this time, his understanding of Hallucinating spells had deepened, and became more lasting!

"Hallucinating spells are just the first stage, and it's merely theory. Titus must've left behind some Occult Mind Spells. However, it's obvious that these powerful Occult Mind Spells were not left at the Illusion Monument. They must be in the hands of the nine Ninth-level Mind Power Masters of Spellcast City!"

Merlin quickly learned that Titus had left behind Occult Mind Spell with massive offensive power to complement the Hallucinating spells of the Mind Power Masters, further augmenting their abilities.

It was just that these Occult Mind Spells were in the grasp of the nine Ninth-level Mind Power Masters.

Fortunately, Merlin was not too concerned about Occult Mind Spells because he had Nine Hit Strike, the power of which was quite decent. After all, Ossais had spent painstaking effort in creating it. Only Ossais' initial direction was faulty, so he was unable to rely on Nine Hit Strike to perfect the Mind Power system.

This was destined to be a road to failure!

As Merlin had received the Blackfire Lord's guidance in addition to his thorough processing of Titus' theory, he had arrived at this conclusion: Ossais' Nine Hit Strike was misguided from the start.

With a path that had never been trodden, some would be right, and naturally, some would be mistaken. This was the price one had to pay in developing the Mind Power system!

Merlin stood up, and eyed the Illusion Monument. The contents of Illusion Monument were no longer of much use to him. This time, he had been accidentally swallowed into the Slothful Beast's belly. He had thought that he was as good as dead but did not expect to profit from his misfortune.

Titus' theory, especially the three main stages of Hallucinating spells, was Merlin's greatest harvest!

"It's time to leave…"

Merlin looked out of the Illusion Monument. Wizard Luce was bored, and was engaged in a simple conversation with another Mind Power Master.

"How exhausting… Merlin, I'm tired and hungry now. Have you returned to Arcane City? Bring me quickly to that old fellow Zado. He's captured enough foreign tribes, and can surely fulfill my needs."

A familiar voice spoke beside Merlin's ear. Merlin was first startled, then immediately became overjoyed. The black cat Didimoss had awakened!

Chapter 573: Didimoss Had Awakened

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Didimoss, you're awake? How do you feel?"

This was an extremely pleasant surprise for Merlin. The black cat Didimoss had woken up at such a key moment, which undoubtedly boosted his confidence greatly. The black cat Didimoss did not need any Elements and was the real deal, a being that was on par with a Great Legend.

"Bad, very bad! I swallowed Sith's Maxim previously and was completely stuffed up. Luckily, I had swallowed quite a few powerful foreign tribes when I was with that old fellow Zado, which improved my swallowing abilities. Otherwise, it would be some time before I recover. Oh right, where are we? This doesn't seem to be Arcane City…"

All the while, the black cat Didimoss seemed to have noticed that something was different here. It was not the Arcane City he was so familiar with.

"Rip."

The black cat Didimoss gently reached out his "claws" and swiped forward carelessly, and the space shattered into fragments.

"What fragile space… What's this place really?"

The black cat Didimoss'"expression" gradually turned serious. As far as he knew, there was no dimension with such fragile space. However, even though space was weak here, soon enough, a mysterious binding force appeared at the fractured space, and quickly restored the cracks.

"Didimoss, it's a long story. You might find it hard to believe but we're currently in the belly of a colossal beast…"

Merlin did not know how to explain, and could only shrug helplessly.

"The belly of a colossal beast? Merlin, you aren't kidding, right? What beast can be so gigantic? This… This is practically a dimension!"

The black cat Didimoss had his ways to inspect the general situation of the Slothful Beast world, learning that this was a relatively chaotic dimension.

Even the black cat Didimoss found it hard to imagine that there could be such a terrifying, massive creature.

"It really is a beast. The Blackfire Lord called it a Slothful Beast. It's really frightening, and does nothing but sleep and eat. We were unlucky, and were swallowed along with everything else when it woke up."

Merlin wore a bitter smile. Who would have thought that below the Satsuma Dimension, there was such a frightening Slothful Beast? This was a fearsome creature that even the three Arcane Wizards could do nothing about.

"Oh? This beast is so powerful that it can swallow anything? Even dimensions?"

There was no trace of alarm in the black cat Didimoss' manner. Upon hearing that the Slothful Beast could swallow anything, he appeared quite delighted instead.

"That's right. It seems like no power can kill a Slothful Beast. In addition, no matter what, as long as the Slothful Beast is willing, it can be swallowed!"

"Then is it possible that I become something like a Slothful Beast in the future?"

The black cat Didimoss' words struck Merlin's interest, and he looked closely at Didimoss. It was true that as a creature that reversed the natural order, Didimoss' fate was uncertain even to Arcane Wizards. Moreover, his swallowing ability was identical to the Slothful Beast.

However, if the black cat Didimoss could really reach the level of a Slothful Beast, Merlin would not believe it. The might of a Slothful Beast had far exceeded his own understanding. Even though the black cat Didimoss' swallowing power was formidable, even one Maxim was enough to "stuff him up". It was still a far cry from the Slothful Beast's ability to swallow everything.

"Forget it, I can tell from your expression that you don't believe that. Neither do I. It's just that looking at the Slothful Beast that has a similar swallowing ability, it can become so powerful. How wondrous! Merlin, can we leave the Slothful Beast world? I'll like to go outside and see the true appearance of the Slothful Beast."

The black cat Didimoss was now filled with curiosity toward the Slothful Beast.

"It's very difficult to leave the Slothful Beast world but it's not hopeless. Also, there's a chance for now, but we'll need your help!"

Merlin immediately thought about the Vortex Hole. The black cat Didimoss had awakened, so Merlin no longer had any worries. Even if the Vortex Hole was guarded by the formidable Giant Tribe, Merlin must give it a shot.

"Whoosh."

After persuading the black cat Didimoss, Merlin directly stepped out of the Illusion Monument's range, and came before Wizard Luce.

"Wizard Merlin, you're finally awake!"

After seeing that Merlin had come out, Wizard Luce finally broke out into a smile.

Merlin grinned, and pointed to his shoulder, saying softly, "Not just me, even Didimoss is finally awake!"

"Sir Didimoss is awake too? That's great. We have a chance of leaving this boring world at last, haha…" Wizard Luce could not hold back his raucous laughter. He knew that the black cat Didimoss was on par with Great Legends, and was definitely the strongest being in the Slothful Beast world.

Merlin waved his hand. "Alright, Wizard Luce, we'll start off now. We'll bid farewell to Wizard Eldo first."

"A few days ago, Wizard Eldo had come here. Seeing that you were still gaining understanding in the Illusion Monument, he didn't want to disturb you."

As he spoke, Luce stood up, and together with Merlin, flew toward Eldo's castle."Hm? Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, both of you want to go to the Vortex Hole?"

In the castle, Eldo's face was gripped by astonishment. Before this, when he visited Merlin, Merlin was still deep in the process of understanding the contents of the Illusion Monument.

Furthermore, during this period, he had even constantly gone back and forth between the other eight Ninth-level Mind Power Masters, warning them not to get any ideas about Merlin and Luce. After all, from Merlin's initial attitude, he seemed very assured and unafraid. If things escalated, it would only negatively affect Spellcast City.

However, Merlin suddenly wanted to leave Spellcast City, and go to the Vortex Hole, causing Eldo to become doubtful.

"Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, I know of your wish to leave the Slothful Beast world. For now, let's put aside whether the Vortex Hole will lead you out of the Slothful Beast world. Even the Giant Tribe who controls the Vortex Hole isn't that easy to deal with. In the powerful Giant Tribe, there are many who are on par with Great Wizards. They have even produced Commanders of the Giant Tribe who are a match for topnotch Great Wizards. Both of you came to the Slothful Beast world from the outside world, and should know what topnotch Great Wizards are like."

Eldo warned them with a grave expression. It was just a rumor that the Vortex Hole would lead one out of the Slothful Beast world. After all, no one had seen it happened. Even the Commander of the Giant Tribe who could withstand an attack from a Great Legend was unable to pass through the Vortex Hole. Even Titus who had dominated the entire Slothful Beast world did not go through the Vortex Hole.

From Eldo's point of view, if Merlin and Luce attempted to do this, everything pointed to disaster. It was too dangerous.

Merlin did not bat an eyelid, and only said calmly, "We've already decided. We must go to the Vortex Hole. Whether or not we succeed, we must still try!"

Eldo perceived the steely determination in Merlin's words, and knew that he could not budge Merlin. Thus, he furrowed his brows, and paced back and forth as if coming to a decision.

It was quite a moment before Eldo slowly said, "Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, please wait here for a moment. I'll look for the other eight elders to discuss this."

If Merlin was to leave Spellcast City, he would need Eldo and the rest to open the Runic Magic Circle. He did not wish to let the black cat Didimoss force his way past the barrier, for this would be a blow that could bring Spellcast City to ruin.

Therefore, Merlin nodded, and expressed his willingness to wait. With that, Eldo hurried out of his castle, and searched for the other eight Ninth-level Mind Power Masters to discuss the matter.

After Eldo had left, the black cat Didimoss was somewhat displeased, grousing, "Earlier, I did a quick check. The strongest of them are merely nine Mind Power Masters who are equivalent to Ninth-level Spell Casters. Your spell fusion alone can easily defeat them. Why do we still need to hear them out?"

Nonetheless, Merlin shook his head firmly. "In the Slothful Beast world, we're Spell Casters, so of course only the Spell Caster faction would take us in. In addition, if we're unable to leave the Slothful Beast world through the Vortex Hole, we would still need the Spell Caster faction!"

The black cat Didimoss swayed his tail gently, and said nothing.

In about two hours, Eldo finally arrived. Behind him were two more Ninth-level Mind Power Masters.

Eldo appeared rather embarrassed, but he still forced a smile. "Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, you're not so familiar with the Slothful Beast world, and don't even know where the Vortex Hole is. Therefore, after a discussion with Spellcast City, it was decided that three of us would accompany you two to the Vortex Hole."

"Oh? The Vortex Hole is so dangerous but you're willing to go?"

It was Merlin's turn to be surprised. The Vortex Hole was guarded by the Giant Tribe. It was impossible that Eldo and the rest did not know how risky this was, yet they still wanted to tag along. There must be some other motive.

Seeing that Merlin was still suspicious, Eldo gritted his teeth and choked out, "We won't hide this anymore from you two. It's precisely because the Vortex Hole is so dangerous that we've decided to follow you. If anything unexpected happens to you two, and the elemental crystal stones are destroyed, it would be a great loss to the entire Spell Caster faction. After all, both of you are now members of the Spell Caster faction!"

"So, it's because of the elemental crystal stones."

A smile tugged at the corner of Merlin's mouth. He even guessed that someone must have suggested that they directly detained Merlin and Luce in Spellcast City, only it was vetoed by Eldo.

Thus, Eldo had only brought along two others who were prepared to leave with Merlin. Those two behind Eldo must be Ninth-level Mind Power Masters who had supported Eldo.

Merlin gave Eldo a deep and searching look before nodding. "Very well, since the three of you wish to follow us to the Vortex Hole, we'll start off immediately!"

Regardless of what agreement Eldo and the rest had reached, Merlin dismissed it from his thoughts. As long as he could go through the Vortex Hole, everything in the Slothful Beast world would be of no concern to him. If he failed in his attempt, he could still easily suppress all the Mind Power Masters of the Spell Caster faction with his current abilities. He did not need to worry about any underhanded tricks.

Moreover, the awakening of the black cat Didimoss had provided Merlin with deep assurance.

Soon enough, Merlin's group of five quickly left Spellcast City with Eldo leading the way, flying toward the territory of the powerful Giant Tribe.

Chapter 574: Giant Tribe

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Regarding the Giant Tribe, Merlin and Luce did not need Eldo's introduction on them. They knew about the Giant Tribe very well. After all, the Giant Tribe was not considered a weak civilization. They were a relatively strong civilization that even the Spell Caster civilization needed to treat with caution.

That was because in the Giant Tribe, there was a terrible Titan Giant, the strongest being in the Giant Tribe. It could even be comparable to an Ultimate Arcane Wizard.

Powerful beings on the level of an Arcane Wizard could be considered the top being in countless civilizations in the millions of dimensions in the Void Zone. Thus, once a being the level of an Arcane Wizard was born, that civilization would be called a powerful civilization. They would no longer be a weak civilization, and bullied by other civilizations.

Although the Giant Tribe only had one Titan Giant, it was enough to rank them as a powerful civilization in the Void Zone!

The Giant Tribe was divided into Lesser Giants, Medium Giants, and Greater Giants. Obviously, the strength of a Giant could be easily seen at a glance, which was the Giant's height.

The strongest Greater Giants were equivalent to topnotch Great Wizards, and were generally below one thousand meters tall. Giant Kings above Greater Giants were also separated into lower, middle, and upper ranks, corresponding to the Spell Casters' ordinary Legends, Honored Legends, and Great Lords respectively. The strongest of these Giant Kings were also not more than ten thousand meters tall.

However, Titan Giants were terrifying. They could reach hundreds of meters or even millions of meters tall. Currently, the Titan Giant in the Giant Clan had already reached a fearsome six hundred thousand meters tall. A general dimension would not be able to hold it. Only some extremely huge dimensions would be able to hold a Titan Giant.

Merlin was still very terrified of the Giant Tribe, especially the Greater Giants. As long as they grew above nine hundred meters, they could rival the best Great Wizards. Even if Merlin used Darkness Eye, it was only equivalent to a peak Great Wizard. It was difficult to say if he could deal with a topnotch Great Wizard.

However, now that the black cat Didimoss was awake, that was no longer a problem!

Soon, Eldo's speed gradually slowed down, and his expression became solemn, and said, "Be careful, ahead is the territory of the Giant Tribe, the Giant Mountain… The Vortex Hole is also inside!"

Although the Giant Tribe was very powerful, and controlled the Vortex Hole, the truth was that the Giant Tribe was very small, with only just over five thousand Giants. Therefore, they all lived around the vast Giant Mountain.

Eldo hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "I know a relatively hidden route that should avoid most of the Giants in the Giant Mountain, directly to the Vortex Hole. However, it is rumored that all Greater Giants live near the Vortex Hole, and try to leave the Slothful Beast world through the Vortex Hole."

Greater Giants were equivalent to Great Wizards. It was not surprising that Eldo was hesitating so much. If they had encountered a Greater Giant, the five of them might face the danger of destruction.

"If there's a hidden route, please lead the way."

Merlin also did not want to fight without even seeing the Vortex Hole. He at least wanted to see what the Vortex Hole was.

Eldo reminded them at this point only to find out that Merlin still remained indifferent, and insisted on entering the Vortex Hole. Therefore, Eldo could only helplessly say, "The secret route is very easy to remember but not all of us can go in. Three of us will wait outside for you two Wizards. If anything happens, we can act as a backup."

Merlin knew that this was Eldo not willing to continue to take risks. It was already Eldo's limit to bring Merlin and the others here. After all, it was likely they would have to face Greater Giants at the Vortex Hole. That was just too dangerous.

"Alright, you three just wait here. Wizard Luce and I will go in!"

Merlin did not say anything more after that, and flew directly into the hidden route Eldo pointed out along with Luce.

Seeing Merlin's figure leaving, the two Mind Power Masters behind Eldo said with some worry, "Elder Eldo, are we just going to let those two go like that?"

"What else can we do? It's good enough that this place isn't far from the Vortex Hole. If we really were discovered by Greater Giants, with Merlin and Wizard Luce's careless attitudes, they won't be reliable at all. Perhaps it might even be a great chance for them to escape. When the time comes, we'll meet them here, and return to Spellcast City along with Merlin and Wizard Luce!"

Wizard Eldo murmured in a low voice.

"Hehe, Elder Eldo, if Merlin and Luce are both seriously injured, then we…"

Eldo did not speak. His eyes locked onto Merlin and Luce's backs, his gaze somewhat profound."Boom!"

Two Giants a few hundred meters tall stood against each other in the Giant Mountain. Their immense bodies caused terrifying damage and noise, and even a small hill was almost completely leveled.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Two figures quietly appeared near the two Giants, but the two Giants did not seem to notice the two Wizards.

"They're five hundred meters tall Medium Giants… How powerful. A Medium Giant's body really is formidable and terrifying. It's not surprising that the Greater Giants, even in simple defense, can hold their own against Great Legends!"

The two Wizards were Luce and Merlin. They had gone deep into the Giant Mountain, following the hidden route provided by Eldo.

This Giant Mountain was also worthy of being the foundation of the Giant Tribe. Merlin and Luce saw many Giants along the way, but they were all Medium Giants below seven hundred meters tall, which posed no threat to Merlin and Luce. Fortunately, the Giants did not seem to have very keen senses, and they had not discovered Merlin and Luce.

"The Vortex Hole is in front, but I've felt a powerful danger in there. Maybe a nine-hundred-meter Greater Giant is deep inside the Giant Mountain where the Vortex Hole is located!"

Merlin's expression also became grave. When a Giant grew to seven hundred meters, they could be called Greater Giants. However, once a Giant grew to nine hundred meters, then they were the most terrifying Greater Giants, comparable to topnotch Great Wizards.

Even Merlin felt that it was dangerous, which showed that there must be extremely powerful Giants deep inside the Giant Mountain.

"Haha, then are we supposed to back off here? Wizard Merlin, we need to go to the Vortex Hole. I certainly don't want to stay in the Slothful Beast world for eternity."

Wizard Luce looked at the black cat Didimoss on Merlin's shoulder. As long as Didimoss was there, they would not be afraid even if they met Greater Giants.

Didimoss was why the two dared to go deep into the Giant Mountain in the first place!

"Rustle."

Merlin and Luce shuffled through the woods, causing various noises.

"Phew…"

The two Wizards finally emerged through thick layers of trees, and their eyes instantly widened as they looked at the sky. There was indeed an extremely large gray vortex that seemed to darken the entire sky.

"The Vortex Hole. That's the Vortex Hole!"

Merlin and Luce both looked at the Vortex Hole with fiery eyes. They even tried to extend their Mind Power into the Vortex Hole but as soon as their Mind Power entered the Vortex Hole, it was instantly crushed by a terrifying force.

Merlin paled. "What a terrible strangling force. I'm afraid even Legends won't be able to withstand it!"

Merlin had met many Great Legends, so he naturally knew how strong a regular Legend's Maxim was. The strangulation force of the Vortex Hole seemed to be even stronger than a Great Legend's Maxim. Anything that went inside would be crushed instantly.

Merlin now believed that even the leader of the Giant Tribe, who could resist a bombardment from Great Legends, could not pass through the Vortex Hole.

"Let's take a closer look."

Merlin could not help but continuously approach the Vortex Hole.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the sky seemed to darken. A feeling of extreme danger rooted in Merlin's heart. When he looked up, he saw that it was not the sky getting dark, but a gigantic palm that was covering the sky.

A Giant. It was a Greater Giant over nine hundred meters!

"Have we been discovered? Darkness Eye, summon Demon Spirit!"

Merlin also did not expect that the Giant would act directly. That Giant lay in a surging river, and even Merlin had not noticed it.

He also did not know when that Giant had detected him. The Giant did not get up and simply slapped his hand down as if swatting at mosquitoes.

"Hum."

Darkness Eye in Merlin's palm glowed a crimson light, which was accompanied by a dark curtain that rose to the sky. From the darkness, an equally large Demon Spirit was formed.

"Boom."

Two giant hands hit each other, and the entire Giant Mountain trembled. The Darkness Demon Spirit's large hand was directly crushed by the powerful force. Even the Demon Spirit's body could not handle it anymore, and was completely shattered.

It was just one attack but the Darkness Demon Spirit could not even resist it!

"A Greater Giant. It must be a Greater Giant over nine hundred meters tall!"

Merlin's heart trembled. He had always wanted to compete with a topnotch Great Wizard to see if the sixth form of Darkness Eye was comparable to them.

However, compared to the pure power of that nine hundred meters tall Greater Giant, the Darkness Demon Spirit was smashed into pieces. Although it had also diffused that Giant's attack, it could not be denied that there was still some distance between the sixth form of Merlin's Darkness Eye and peak Great Wizards, Demonic Wizards, and topnotch Great Wizards.

"Splash."

From the surging river, an enormous Giant stood up just like a mountain, making people feel terrifying and suffocating pressure.

"Spell Casters? You really are Spell Casters! Looks like you've just arrived from the outer world into the Slothful Beast world… The Spell Caster civilization is powerful, but our Giant civilization is no less impressive. You shouldn't provoke the Giants out of your own initiative nor should you approach the Vortex Hole. That's because it belongs to the Giant Tribe!"

The Giant's voice roared like thunder, causing Merlin and Luce's ears to buzz.

Chapter 575: Swallowed!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The giant's roar reverberated in the air. Merlin and Luce's faces waned slightly. They took a quick glance at this giant, and estimated his height to be at least nine hundred and twenty meters, which already exceeded nine hundred meters!

This was certainly terrifying. As long as it was not the Giant King, it was impossible to exceed one kilometer. Nevertheless, giants who had achieved more than nine hundred meters were considered to be powerful Expert giants.

Back then, the Giant Commander who had been able to resist the Great Legends' attack was nine hundred and ninety meters, and was infinitely close to a Great Legend himself. He was one of the influential leaders among the giants, with great potential to boot.

This giant in front of them was not yet nine hundred and ninety meters but was almost there. Certainly, his power would be comparable to an ultimate Great Wizard.

Merlin and Luce rapidly stretched out the distance between themselves and the giant. Standing mid-air in front of the giant, they seemed like tiny insects.

Following the huge sound made by the giant, several other giants who were also over nine hundred meters awoke. There were also some giants over eight hundred meters who were further away from the Vortex Hole.

The entire Giant Tribe in the Giant Mountain seemed to be arranged closer or further from the Vortex Hole based on their abilities. The most powerful giant was this nine hundred and twenty meter giant, who was closest to the Vortex Hole.

Once these giants awoke, the entire Giant Mountain shook. After all, this was the heart of the Giant Tribe, so most of the giants were congregated here.

"This is bad, Wizard Merlin and Wizard Luce have been discovered!"

"Such a fearsome aura! Do you see those giants? They are at least nine hundred meters…"

"It has been so many years but the abilities of the Giant Tribe hasn't declined, and in fact, even strengthened. The giants over nine hundred meters are the most powerful civilization in the Slothful Beast world!"

Wizard Eldo and the others who stayed outside the vicinity of Giant Mountain could see the changes in Giant Mountain from far away. Countless giants were rushing toward the Vortex Hole. In a distance, they could see the half bodies of a few giants, whose aura sparked fear in Eldo and the others, despite the distance.

Just a single giant over nine hundred meters would pose a huge threat to Spellcast City. If the Runic Magic Circle outside Spellcast City was destroyed, the entire Spell Caster civilization would not be a worthy opponent to a giant over nine hundred meters.

"Let's wait a little longer. Hopefully, Wizard Merlin and Wizard Luce will somehow be lucky enough to escape!"

Eldo pursed his lips tightly. He could only hope that Merlin and Luce would be wise enough to retreat immediately, and had powerful techniques to escape from the Giant Mountain.

However, seeing the few giants over nine hundred meters, Eldo knew that the possibility was extremely small. It was such a pity that the elemental crystal stones were with Merlin and Luce…"Giants over nine hundred meters! Didimoss, quickly, swallow as many as you can!"

Merlin took a deep breath. Giants over nine hundred meters were utterly beyond his capabilities. Moreover, the black cat Didimoss had been looking forward to this moment.

"Haha, so many powerful foreign tribes, even stronger than those captured by that old man. I didn't expect that there would be such a treat inside the Slothful Beast world!"

The black cat Didimoss leaped from Merlin's shoulder into the air. Compared to the nine hundred over meter giant, the black cat Didimoss was nothing more than a negligible "little black dot".

"Meow!"

The black cat Didimoss emitted a squeak, and opened his mouth. Then, his mouth began to expand continuously. A few moments later, his mouth had expanded countless times, covering the sun and the sky. The entire sky seemed to be filled with his colossal mouth.

"Suck!"

The big mouth of Didimoss was like a bottomless pit. There was a strong burst of suction, and the giants who were underneath the big mouth revealed a look of horror.

One, two, three…

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen giants had been swallowed into Didimoss' big mouth. Although these were only giants under five hundred meters, it still caused a huge uproar among the Giant Tribe.

"What exactly is this creature?"

"Slothful Beast, is it a Slothful Beast?"

"Such a formidable aura, just feeling it makes me shudder. This existence is comparable to the Giant King…"

Many of the giants were terrified. They growled, roared, and exerted all their strength to attempt to resist Didimoss' swallowing but to no avail. At best, only the giants over nine hundred meters were somewhat able to keep themselves from being swallowed.

However, as time passed, even the giants over nine hundred meters would not last much longer.

Behind the black cat Didimoss, watching these giants being helplessly swallowed in front of their eyes reminded both Merlin and Luce about the Slothful Beast that had swallowed them.

"Wizard Merlin, Sir Didimoss is truly quite similar to the Slothful Beast. In the future, do you think Sir Didimoss would become as formidable as the Slothful Beast?"

Although Wizard Luce had witnessed the black cat Didimoss multiple times, he was still awestruck by the scene unfolding before them. This was highly similar to the Slothful Beast back then. No matter what it was, everything was swallowed up.

The members of the Giant Tribe all possessed immeasurable strength. Combined, they were truly a force to be reckoned with. Nevertheless, right now, they had been turned into nothing but a delicacy by Didimoss, who was swallowing them one after another.

"Slothful Beast? Perhaps, one day, Didimoss will really turn into an existence comparable to the Slothful Beast…"

A smile tugged at the corner of Merlin's lips. Only a few Wizards such as him and the Blackfire Lord knew the true potential of the black cat Didimoss, which was practically endless.

The black cat Didimoss was a living being which had reversed the natural order, hence his potential was endless. Even the Arcane Wizards were unable to predict the extent to which Didimoss could grow to become. In addition, Didimoss' ability to swallow would grow more powerful in tandem with his strength. So, the more powerful the existences he swallowed, the more nourishment and powers his body would receive.

If such a continuous feedback loop continued for tens of thousands of years or longer, who could imagine how much more terrifying would Didimoss become?

This was the benefit of reversing the natural order. Merlin's heart was even more eager to perfect the Mind Power system. According to the Blackfire Lord's deduction and Titus' theory, in order to perfect the Mind Power system, Mind Power must be converted from intangible into tangible power. In other words, it would be a completely unimaginable power that reversed the natural order.

"Hoo hoo hoo…"

The black cat Didimoss increased the suction power, but the few giants over nine hundred meters remained unyielding, still barely able to resist the swallowing of the black cat Didimoss.

"Great Being, we the Giant Tribe are willing to relinquish Vortex Hole, and leave Giant Mountain. Please, Great Being, stop swallowing!"

The nine hundred and twenty meter giant who was the leader of the giants finally spoke. Countless giants had already been swallowed by the black cat Didimoss. Even for those giants over nine hundred meters, he did not know how much longer they would be able to hold on.

These giants would not have expected that inside the Slothful Beast world, there was such a terrifying entity which rivaled the Giant King. Therefore, regardless of their pride, they could only beg for mercy.

Due to the massive pride of the Giant Tribe, begging for mercy was extremely difficult. They were naturally an aggressive tribe, more willing to die fighting than to retreat, and beg for mercy.

However, faced with an undefeatable opponent, even the proud and stubborn giants would bow!

"Spare you?"

The black cat Didimoss suddenly stopped swallowing. Then, his body shrank and resumed his original size. He jumped onto Merlin's shoulder with a satiated look.

"Merlin, I've already swallowed quite a bit, three hundred over giants in total. I feel really comfortable. I will need a long time to digest this. As for how to deal with the giants, it's up to you."

Subsequently, the black cat Didimoss fell asleep on Merlin's shoulder.

"Didimoss?"

Merlin kept calling Didimoss, but unfortunately, Didimoss did not respond at all. Merlin felt a little helpless. The black cat Didimoss would fall into a deep slumber after swallowing, and then upon waking, wanting to swallow again.

In the past, Merlin did not think too much about it, but right now, Merlin began to feel that the black cat Didimoss was getting more and more similar to the Slothful Beast. Eat and sleep, sleep and eat. In addition, they both possessed a terrifying ability to swallow.

Seeing that the black cat Didimoss was no longer responsive, Merlin shifted his gaze back to the few giants over nine hundred meters and hesitated for a moment. Then, in a deep voice, he said, "The Giant Tribe must leave the Giant Mountain!"

These giants naturally saw the black cat Didimoss leaping onto Merlin's shoulder, so they knew that his relationship with Didimoss was not insignificant. They no longer dared to treat Merlin and Luce flippantly. With a tone of relief, the giant replied, "Wizards, please be rest assured. We the Giant Tribe abide by our oath. Since the Great Being has spared us, we the Giant Tribe promise that we'll not take a single step into Giant Mountain hereon forth!"

The giants' leader's words echoed around the Giant Mountain. Below them, many of the giants each growled loudly to express their oath.

As for the oath made by the Giant Tribe, Merlin and Luce were reassured. This was because among the numerous powerful civilizations in the Void Zone, the Giant Tribe's oath was like the contracts signed by the Spell Casters. None of the giants would betray their oath.

"Right, as the winners, these two Wizards have the right to know everything about the Vortex Hole! We the Giant Tribe have guarded the Vortex Hole for many years, and also know of some of its secrets."

"Secrets?"

Merlin's eyes glinted. The Giant Tribe had guarded the Vortex Hole for so many years, perhaps there were some valuable clues.

"Yes, secrets! The Vortex Hole is the link to the outside world beyond the Slothful Beast world. This is beyond doubt! However, passing through the Vortex Hole is simply too arduous. It's only possible if a powerful external force ripped apart the Vortex Hole from the outside, then it might be possible to leave the Slothful Beast world through the Vortex Hole. Unfortunately, we have never been able to contact the outside world."

When the giant had finished speaking, he stood up, and roared. In an instant, all the giants inside Giant Mountain began to run out of the mountain. Hundreds and thousands of giants sprinted across the landscape, forming an unbelievable scene.

Once the giants left, Luce and Merlin turned their gaze toward the Vortex Hole.

"Although what the giants said might be true, we still have to give it a try!"

Merlin looked at the Vortex Hole with steel determination blazing in his eyes.

Chapter 576: Setoh and the Blackfire Lord!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was a huge commotion from the Giant Mountain. Countless giants began to walk out of the Giant Mountain. Led by an over nine hundred meter giant, they left the Giant Mountain.

Such a large flurry was of course seen by Eldo and the others as well. It was only when almost all the giants had left that they finally recovered from their stupor.

"The giants had left… What actually happened? It could swallow even the giants, how terrifying! It's exactly like when we've encountered the Slothful Beast!"

Eldo and the other two were completely shell-shocked. The Giant Tribe was extremely hardy yet appeared to be completely defenseless towards the black hole-like mouth. Therefore, the three of them knew that there must have been a game-changer in the Giant Mountain!

"Elder Eldo, do you think these changes are linked to Wizards Merlin and Luce?

One of the Ninth-level Mind Power Masters asked carefully. However, all three of them had already guessed the answer in their hearts because only Merlin and Luce had entered the Giant Mountain.

Nonetheless, it was so staggering that they simply could not believe it!

"Regardless of whether it was caused by Wizards Merlin and Luce or not, the fact is the Giant Mountain is now deserted. We can finally enter the Vortex Hole, and see what happened to Wizards Merlin and Luce."

Eldo paused, and took another look at the Giant Mountain. After observing it carefully for a moment, and discovering that there were truly no giants left, he and the other two swiftly flew toward the Vortex Hole.

Upon flying close to the Vortex Hole, they spotted Merlin and Luce. Just as they were about to call out to them, an unbelievable scene unfolded before them.

"Boom!"

The originally clear sky turned dark in an instant. A gentle breeze blew at Merlin's black Wizard robes, causing them to flap around. Merlin raised his hand up, and there was a demonic-looking blood-red eye which was blinking continuously.

At the same time, pangs of howls were released amid the darkness. An immeasurably huge Demon Spirit, almost comparable to those giants, coalesced from within the darkness.

This was the sixth form of Darkness Eye, the Darkness Demon Spirit!

Sensing the deadly aura emanated by the Darkness Demon Spirit, which was no less than an intimidating Expert giant, Eldo and the two other Ninth-level Mind Power Masters finally realized the true capabilities of Merlin and Luce! Moreover, they realized that Merlin was the more formidable of the two, so it was not surprising that Wizard Luce appeared to value Merlin's opinions highly.

"Darkness Eye! This is the Great Legend of Darkness, Wizard Oflas' special Pandora Demon Ability, the legendary Darkness Eye!"

Eldo almost exclaimed aloud. He also originated from the Spell Caster civilization, and landed in the Slothful Beast world by accident, so he knew of the legendary Darkness Eye. With a single glance, he knew that this was the sixth form of Darkness Eye, which was comparable to a peak Great Wizard.

Upon this revelation, Eldo was secretly glad that he did not listen to the suggestions made by some elders of Spellcast City to attack Merlin and Luce. Otherwise, Spellcast City might have been completely conquered by now.

Of course, from Eldo's viewpoint, he would not know about the curse of Darkness Eye. All he knew was that the sixth form of Darkness Eye was extremely fearsome. Just Merlin's Darkness Eye was enough to reduce Spellcast City to ashes.

This was the reason why Merlin and Luce had entered Spellcast City with such a carefree attitude. They had nothing to fear!

"Whoosh!"

The Darkness Demon Spirit snarled into the air, and charged resolutely at the huge Vortex Hole.

"Crack."

It came as no surprise. The moment the Darkness Demon Spirit entered the Vortex Hole, it was instantly strangled, and torn into pieces. The clear sky was restored once again.

"Sure enough, the Darkness Demon Spirit is unable to pass through the Vortex Hole. Otherwise, those over nine hundred meter giants would have passed through it already."

Merlin mumbled under his breath. He was merely testing the Vortex Hole to see its strangulation powers. Now, it seemed like his Darkness Demon Spirit could not measure up.

It was important to note that those over nine hundred meter giants were much stronger compared to the Darkness Demon Spirit. Despite controlling the Vortex Hole for such a long time, they were unable to leave the Vortex Hole, which proved how difficult it was to leave via the Vortex Hole.

"Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce!"

After witnessing the Darkness Demon Spirit being strangled to death, Eldo and the others could not help but fly to the two Wizards.

Actually, Merlin had already discovered Eldo and the others. He nodded at them casually. "Elders, the Giant Tribe has relinquished the Giant Mountain. You can inform all the Spell Casters via Spellcast City that they can come to Giant Mountain. Here, the Spell Casters will not be attacked."

Eldo and the rest of them were overjoyed in their hearts, and even felt a little excited.

"Wizard Merlin, who got rid of the Giant Tribe?"

Wizard Luce stepped forward. In a low voice, he said, "It's Wizard Merlin's friend, Sir Didimoss!"

"Sir Didimoss?"

Eldo had never seen Didimoss before because whenever Didimoss was perched on Merlin's shoulder, he was hidden from view.

"Didimoss, wake up!"

Merlin began to wake up Didimoss not because he wanted to show Eldo and the others, but because he was unsatisfied unless he could learn how strong the strangulation power of the Vortex Hole was. Would the power of a Legend be powerful enough to affect the Vortex Hole?

This would require Didimoss' help to verify.

"Meow."

Didimoss responded lazily. "Merlin, this is the last time I'll help you. Don't bother me anymore, I need to sleep for a while."

Thus, the black cat Didimoss jumped up, opened his huge mouth, and began to madly swallow the Vortex Hole.

"Hoo hoo hoo…"

Didimoss' swallowing ability was incomparably mighty that even space was shattered and vanished. Even the entire Giant Mountain seemed to be shaking. If Didimoss had so willed, it would be child's play to swallow the entire Giant Mountain.

However, it was not enough to affect the Vortex Hole. There was not even a trace of influence, and the Vortex Hole remained unchanged.

"There's no way, this Vortex Hole is undefeatable. The power of an ordinary Legend is unable to move it… Merlin, you have to find a way yourself, I'm going to sleep!"

The black cat Didimoss indeed seemed tired. Without caring about what Merlin had to say, he quickly sprawled on his shoulder and fell asleep.

Merlin could only shake his head helplessly. As for the black cat Didimoss, as long as he finished swallowing, he would need to sleep to digest it into energy. Hence, he was quite "disgruntled" at Merlin's call.

"Wizard Merlin, this… This is Sir Didimoss?"

Wizard Eldo only finally recovered after a long time, with a stunned look still etched on his face, seemingly still reveling in shock. The aura emitted by the black cat Didimoss earlier had almost caused Eldo and the others to suffocate. It was an incredibly mighty power that far exceeded a Great Wizard, equal to a Great Legend.

This was a being comparable to a Great Legend!

"Haha, the Spell Caster force can finally be saved!"

Eldo immediately remembered Titus, who was also comparable to a Great Legend. Finally, Titus conquered the various tribes across the Slothful Beast world and became the unchallengeable king.

That was also the most glorious era for Spell Casters in the Slothful Beast world. Right now, on the other hand, the Spell Casters were at the lowest point in history. Due to the continuous attack by other tribes, raising Mind Power Masters who could rival Great Wizards had almost become a far-fetched fantasy.

This time, however, with the presence of the black cat Didimoss as well as Merlin's sixth form of Darkness Eye, Eldo had understood that the Spell Casters would once again achieve a glorious era in the Slothful Beast world!

"Be rest assured, Wizard Merlin, I'll immediately inform Spellcast City as well as the entire Spell Caster civilization for them to move to the Giant Mountain!"

Eldo was ecstatic. He was ready to leave without delay.

Merlin considered for a moment and said, "Let Wizard Luce go with you. Wizard Luce can wield spells, and has some casting tools so he should be of help to you."

Luce nodded. Coming into the Slothful Beast world, it was pitiful to see the once powerful Spell Caster civilization so weak here. Therefore, he was happy to contribute to the Spell Caster force right now.

"Looks like I'll be staying in this Slothful Beast world for a long time…"

Merlin stared at the huge Vortex Hole with a look of despair. For now, there was no way for him to leave the Slothful Beast world through the Vortex Hole. All he could do now was to wait quietly.In the dark and icy Void Zone, there was a dazzling dimension that was moving slowly. Just a single glance would give anyone a feeling of awe.

This was Arcane City belonging to the Spell Caster civilization, a dimension that was created by the Arcane Wizards, and could move around!

In a secret space inside Arcane City, the Blackfire Lord was sitting quietly by the door, seemingly to be waiting for something.

"Swoosh."

Suddenly, the Blackfire Lord stood up abruptly, and stared at the door.

"Blackfire, you have been waiting outside for thirty-six years!"

The door opened, and there was a ball of glowing light that could not be discerned.

"Great Arcane Wizard Setoh, my disciple Merlin has been swallowed by the Slothful Beast. Therefore, I would like to request Wizard Setoh to please rescue my disciple!"

The Blackfire Lord said respectfully. Although he was a highly admired Great Lord, before this ball of light, he had nothing to be proud of.

This was because this was one of the three most powerful Arcane Wizards in the Spell Caster civilization. It was attributed to these three Great Arcane Wizards, that the entire Spell Caster civilization could flourish, and prosper into one of the most powerful civilizations.

The Arcane Wizards also represented the apex existences of the hundreds and thousands of dimensions in the Void Zone!

"Slothful Beast? Your disciple had encountered the Slothful Beast, then there's nothing I can do. You should know the Slothful Beast quite well. I'm powerless against it!"

Upon hearing the request, Arcane Wizard Setoh kept silent for a moment, and replied slowly.

The Blackfire Lord hesitated for a second, and then steeled his expression. In a deep voice, he said, "Merlin is my most valued disciple. He might have the possibility of perfecting the Mind Power system…"

Before he could finish, Wizard Setoh interrupted him. "Blackfire, do you still think that someone can reverse the natural order and perfect the Mind Power system? It's impossible. The two other Arcane Wizards and I have done the calculations together. It's completely impossible for anyone to perfect the Mind Power system. The natural order exists as an indication of our limitations. So, in order to go against the natural order, one must first transcend the limitations. How could there be anyone without any limitation? Even we the Arcane Wizards are still subject to the natural order. Though there are innumerable civilizations throughout the hundreds and thousands of dimensions in the Void Zone, who among them could transcend the limitations and reverse the natural order?"

There was no doubt that Wizard Setoh's voice was steadfast!

The Blackfire Lord took a deep breath, appearing to have made a major decision. In a grave tone, he said, "Wizard Setoh, I'm willing to use the previous promise you made to me!"

"Promise? Blackfire, you're my junior disciple. Back then, before our teacher, I made you a promise. The hope was that at a most critical time, I'll be able to help you. Right now, however, you're going to use up this remarkably precious promise for a disciple?"

Wizard Setoh's tone reflected some degree of sternness. Nevertheless, the information revealed via this exchange was enough to completely overwhelm countless people.

The Ultimate Arcane Wizard Setoh was actually the senior disciple alongside the Blackfire Lord, and were taught by the same teacher. It was rumored that the Blackfire Lord was one of the most ancient Great Lords, but it was unexpected that he had such a special and close relationship with Arcane Wizard Setoh.

Chapter 577: Illusion? Reality?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Blackfire Lord just lowered his head, and did not speak for a long time. The dilemma on his face was clearly visible.

After a moment, Wizard Setoh shook his head helplessly and sighed. "Very well, this is your own choice! However, my real body is in the Seely Dimension. The Rock Tribe seems poised for another attack, so I have to hold the fort here! I'll send a spatial avatar to go with you but I can't guarantee that it'll be able to successfully rescue your disciple!

Upon hearing that Wizard Setoh finally agreed to mobilize a spatial avatar, the Blackfire Lord was ecstatically happy. After all, he was quite familiar with Arcane Wizard Setoh. Arcane Wizards had many avatars as their understanding of the elements and the Maxims have achieved the optimum, and could be created at will.

Therefore, the avatars were constructed with every type of element as their foundation. Then, with tremendous effort, they were consolidated into avatars that were comparable to the most skillful Lord!

In fact, as it was Arcane Wizard's avatar, it would also comprise some of the Arcane Wizard's techniques and abilities, which were endless. Being able to dispatch an avatar was considered the best possible outcome.

"Wizard Setoh, please don't worry. If we fail to rescue him, then it shall be Merlin's fate!"

The Blackfire Lord was acutely aware that it was impossible to kill the Slothful Beast. Back then, the three Great Arcane Wizards had joined forces but were unable to catch the Slothful Beast, not to mention kill it.

All they could do was to allow Wizard Setoh's avatar to see if he could find any breakthrough points to rescue Merlin.

"Alright, the happenings in the Seely Dimension are truly complicated, and the Rock Tribe is poised for another attack. My real body cannot leave this place but if there's a glimmer of hope to rescue your disciple, I can transfer some of my real powers through the avatar!"

The "commitment" shown by Wizard Setoh was simply because the Blackfire Lord was his one and only junior disciple. After their teacher had disappeared, he had activated the power of the Arcane Wizards, but still could not find their teacher. Therefore, Wizard Setoh would give his best for his one and only junior disciple.

The Blackfire Lord's lips quivered like there were some words he was wanted to say.

After a long pause, the Blackfire Lord seemed to make up his mind. In a deep voice, he said, "Thank you, senior disciple! 1 "

"Ever since teacher disappeared, this is the first time you're calling me brother. It appears that this disciple truly occupies a special place in your heart… Now, I'm curious to see this disciple whom you're willing to sacrifice so much for."

"Swoosh."

This dazzling ball of light wrapped around the Blackfire Lord, and then, in the blink of an eye, vanished without a trace…Days turned into months, and months turned into years. By this time, Merlin had been inside the Slothful Beast world for over thirty years. In these thirty years, the Giant Mountain had completely flourished into a place controlled by the Spell Casters.

Spellcast City was now located in the Giant Mountain. Right now, there was no longer any protection from the Runic Magic Circle. Any Spell Caster could enter and exit freely. It was the most developed place among the Spell Caster civilization.

In the past thirty over years, due to Merlin's presence, coupled with the migration of the giants as well as the spreading of news, the Spell Caster civilization had once again become the most powerful civilization in the Slothful Beast world. Generally, none of the tribes dared to attack them any longer.

Of course, in reality, the Spell Caster civilization was only strong on the outside, and hollow on the inside. It was entirely dependent on Merlin. Even after some thirty years, they have not been able to produce a single Mind Power Master who could rival a Great Wizard.

However, the number of Ninth-level Mind Power Masters had increased slightly. With more time, perhaps it would have been possible to produce a Mind Power Master who could rival a Great Wizard.

Nevertheless, just because the other tribes did not initiate any attacks, it did not mean that Merlin was twiddling his thumbs. The black cat Didimoss would wake up once every few years, and the first thing he would do was swallow. 2

Therefore, the black cat Didimoss would stir up upheaval in the Slothful Beast world every couple of years. The entire Slothful Beast world was like a paradise for the black cat Didimoss because he could swallow as much as he liked.

At the same time, Didimoss' abilities were improving rapidly. Finally, a few years ago, the black cat Didimoss' power leveled-up to be equivalent to a Legend with two Maxims!

Such speedy progress surprised even Merlin. Once again, he witnessed the unlimited potential brought about by reversing the natural order. In any case, while the black cat Didimoss was improving, Merlin was not left completely empty-handed either.

In the Slothful Beast world, Merlin made use of the elemental crystal stones in his collection to acquire casting tools on a large scale. The prices were extremely low, so just a few hundred elemental crystal stones were enough to acquire a good casting tool.

Previously, Merlin merely wanted to give it a try, and did not hold any hopes whatsoever. He disseminated a message among the Spell Caster civilization, saying that he would like to acquire the components of the legendary God-Binding Disc belonging to Wizard Bell of the Molta Empire.

The Spell Casters who entered the Slothful Beast world were very close to the era of the Molta Empire, so they were not unfamiliar with the God-Binding Disc.

Nevertheless, even Merlin could not have anticipated that a blessing would appear so unexpectedly. A Spell Caster brought with him two components of the God-Binding Disc.

Judging from the vibration emitted by the seven components of the God-Binding Disc in Merlin's collection, they were the final two components of the genuine God-Binding Disc!

In the end, Merlin only spent two hundred elemental crystal stones to acquire the final two components of the God-Binding Disc. Subsequently, an ecstatic Merlin restored the God-Binding Disc. This was a powerful casting tool which used to be able to suppress the gods!

However, it seemed that Merlin's luck had run out. He tried using the complete God-Binding Disc to fight some of the foreign tribes who were comparable to the most skillful Great Wizard but found that it was ineffective, and could not suppress them.

It was supposed to be a casting tool that could suppress the gods yet it failed to suppress even the most skillful Great Wizard. This caused Merlin to wonder if a large portion of the God-Binding Disc had been destroyed over a long time, and no longer had its suppressing abilities.

However, after careful studying, Merlin was faintly able to draw an inference. The God-Binding Disc was specifically transfigured by Wizard Bell to fight the gods, so perhaps its suppression power was only effective on the gods.

This was purely Merlin's conjecture. If he wanted to verify his inference, he would have to test it on a real god. Unfortunately, there was no real god in the Slothful Beast world.

Besides the God-Binding Disc, Merlin's spell fusion had also achieved a breakthrough. His Fire-type, Thunder-type, Wind-type and Ice-type spells had finally achieved perfect fusion.

The fusion of four-elemental spells boosted his powers tremendously. Originally, he was only infinitely close to a Great Wizard, but now, he had grown to become comparable to a Great Wizard.

This was Merlin's most powerful ability besides Darkness Eye! With this successful four-elemental spell fusion, Merlin had also laid down a solid foundation for his Spell Model fusion when he became a Ninth-level Spell Caster in the future.

As for the remaining Earth-type and Darkness-type spell fusion, it would have to depend on his luck, and plenty of practice. It was not something that could be achieved overnight.

Merlin only put some of his energy into spell fusion. Once he managed to achieve Ice-type spell fusion, Merlin could no longer spare any energy. He devoted his entire attention to perfecting the Mind Power system.

In particular, Merlin was now in the first step of Hallucinating spells, which required more refining. Thus, in this period, he had spent almost all his time underneath the Illusion Monument, accumulating understanding about the essence of Hallucinating spells.

Hallucinating spells were also divided into a few steps. Currently, Merlin was only at the most basic first step. His Mind Power also did not improve by much. If he could gain a more advanced understanding of Hallucinating spells, perhaps it would help improve his Mind Power.

However, understanding Hallucinating spells also required large amounts of energy. It was not a result that would manifest overnight.

Merlin had integrated the previous method of Darkness-type spell illusion with the Mind Power Hallucinating spell, and also combined the illusion from the Blackfire Lord. Gradually, Merlin's understanding of Hallucinating spells began to deepen.

In the past, Merlin could only entrap Spell Casters like Wizard Luce who did not have strong Mind Power. Trying to entrap a Mind Power Master who had consolidated a Mind Heart was almost impossible.

Right now, however, with the steady improvement in Merlin's Hallucinating spells and his enormous Mind Power which far exceeded the Mind Hearts of the average Mind Power Masters, his Hallucinating spells began to improve tremendously.

Even a Ninth-level Mind Power Master who had consolidated a Mind Heart, if he was not careful, might fall prey to Merlin's illusion. Nevertheless, this was still far from what Merlin had envisioned to achieve.

Merlin's target was the second step of Hallucinating spells, which could entrap Great Wizards! Back then, the Blackfire Lord's Hallucinating spells were at this level. He was able to entrap some of the powerful Mind Power Great Wizards.

However, despite staying underneath the Illusion Monument for such a long time, there was no way for him to proceed further. There were also other Seventh- and Eighth-level Mind Power Masters under the Illusion Monument who were frowning hard, and could not progress.

Understanding Hallucinating spells was simply too difficult and challenging. Even equipped with theory, and the fact that Titus had undergone this path, it was difficult for anyone to follow in his footsteps.

"What more is needed?"

Merlin was frowning tautly. This time, he had set his gaze on the huge Illusion Monument. It was unknown what material was this Illusion Monument was made of. Even Merlin could not tell.

Moreover, there seemed to be a strange force field around the Illusion Monument. Anyone who entered this place would be affected by it, which was quite extraordinary.

Merlin extended his Mind Power to the Illusion Monument but could not find anything out of the ordinary. Did Titus leave behind this Illusion Monument merely for such a simple purpose, just to let people learn some theories about his Mind Power system?

Somehow, Merlin felt that there was more than meets the eye with this Illusion Monument. However, he was unable to decipher its secret.

Slowly, Merlin shut his eyes, and extended his Mind Power, shrouding everyone who was inside the Illusion Monument. Naturally, he began to wield his Hallucinating spells.

Underneath the Illusion Monument, there was a strange force field. It required large amounts of Mind Power in order to wield Hallucinating spells in this force field. This was also the first time Merlin was wielding Hallucinating spells within the vicinity of the Illusion Monument.

Moreover, the Mind Power Masters who were learning underneath the Illusion Monument were all somewhat accomplished in Hallucinating spells, so they would not be entrapped by ordinary Hallucinating spells. This time, Merlin had put in maximum effort, and a strange, peculiar Mind Power fluctuation began to ooze into the vicinity of the Illusion Monument.

Merlin saw that almost everyone had been entrapped in some form of illusion. A smile appeared on his face. Although he had yet to achieve the second stage of Hallucinating spells, he was able to entrap some Spell Casters who had already consolidated a Mind Heart, including some Ninth-level Spell Casters.

"All trapped in an illusion… Perhaps they are unable to tell where, whether it was underneath the Illusion Monument or somewhere else, that they fell into an illusion? They cannot differentiate reality and illusion…"

Merlin mumbled under his breath. Seeing these Spell Casters entrapped in an illusion, he violently raised his head to stare at the humongous Illusion Monument.

Earlier, when he had used the Hallucinating spells to entrap these Mind Power Masters, he suddenly realized that the Illusion Monument also became unreal. It was as if the Illusion Monument did not exist at all!

"Illusion? Reality?"

Looking at the close-up, lifelike Illusion Monument, a storm began to crash down on Merlin's heart…

Chapter 578: Illusory World I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The humongous Illusion Monument shrouded inside Merlin's Mind Power, becoming like a dream. This feeling was too familiar to Merlin. Back then, the Blackfire Lord's Hallucinating spell also had such a feeling.

Illusion!

Merlin was dumbfounded when he had realized it. Apparently, he was already in an illusion, and he was not the only one. Everyone who could "see" the Illusion Monument, and thought that it existed, had unknowingly fallen into an illusion.

Such a Hallucinating spell was simply unheard of!

Merlin took a deep breath, and calmed his raging emotions. The Illusion Monument was still there. Merlin might have noticed the clues but he could not see through the illusion.

Thus, he slowly closed his eyes with unprecedented peace of mind… At this moment, his mind inadvertently drifted toward the Kingdom of Blackmoon. He thought of his father, Old Wilson, his wives Avril and Charise, and his children. He also thought of Blackwater City, Wilson Castle, fatty Gutt, Carise, and many more.

Perhaps influenced by the invisible force field around the Illusion Monument, suddenly, a pang of loneliness and solitude began to fill Merlin's heart. In the blink of an eye, he had been in the Void Zone for a few decades. In Spell Caster terms, this was only a very short period. Even the black cat Didimoss would sleep for a few years at a time… A few decades were nothing more than a few nights of deep slumber for the black cat Didimoss.

However, to the Normies, a few decades constituted more than half of their entire lifetime… Even if Old Wilson was still alive, he would be old and frail. His two wives might no longer have their youthful beauty but had grown into ordinary old ladies that even Merlin might not recognize.

As for his son and daughter, they seemed a little fuzzy in Merlin's memory…

In Merlin's heart, there was an inexplicable sense of emptiness and loneliness. A Spell Caster's life was destined to be lonely. They had a long lifespan, so their life goals were not what ordinary people could imagine.

"It appears that there's still no peace in my heart…"

Merlin smiled bitterly, and opened his eyes. He knew that the reason he was remembering these things was because of this non-existent Illusion Monument! It was the strange force field that stirred up the feelings of loneliness and solitude in Merlin's heart. Throughout the Spell Casters' long lives, relatives were mere passers-by who could accompany them only for a few decades.

"Spell Casters aren't born emotionless but with the departure of our relatives, and being slowly replaced by strangers, how can we not feel lonely?"

Merlin muttered softly. Right now, a sense of peace blossomed in his heart, and the feeling of loneliness no longer festered but gradually faded away.

"Illusion Monument… Thank you for making me feel lonely but I'll not be lulled by the loneliness. Instead… I'll enjoy this loneliness!"

Merlin raised his head fiercely. Suddenly, without warning, his Mind Power began to grow rapidly, just like when he was in the Mind Tower. All of Merlin's understanding and Mind Power multiplied wildly.

At Merlin's level, the only way to increase Mind Power quickly was to gain an understanding of it.

Merlin looked up at the Illusion Monument. Before his eyes, the Illusion Monument slowly disappeared. There was naught but a casting tool which contained Mind Power in the middle of the square.

It was this Mind Power that was broadcasted across the entire Spellcast City. Almost everyone was trapped in this Mind Power's Hallucinating spell. Most of all, this was only a single strand of Mind Power.

"Such a terrifying Mind Power, and what an impressive broadcast!"

For the first time, Merlin felt the greatness of Titus, which far surpassed Eldo's introduction. Just by leaving behind a strand of Mind Power, Titus had entrapped people in an illusion for so many years. They truly believed that there was an Illusion Monument left behind by Titus, and so many people even studied underneath the "Illusion Monument", which was both funny and shocking.

Merlin looked around. The Mind Power Masters were still deeply entranced by the illusion of the Illusion Monument, thinking that they were gaining some insights. Across the Illusion Monument was Spellcast City, where there were countless people looking wistfully from afar.

The entire Spellcast City had been enchanted by this Mind Power's Hallucinating spell!

"Titus…"

Merlin whispered the name. Then, he slowly stood up, and came to the Illusion Monument. He reached out his hand and gently touched the Illusion Monument. Although he had come to realize that it was merely a Hallucinating spell, that sense of solidness as well as strange familiarization feeling made it easy to convince anyone that this was a real, magical Illusion Monument.

"A Mind Power broadcast that didn't disappear after so many years… Titus, I want to know your purpose!"

Merlin appeared to be talking to himself but he slowly extended his hand as if he could not see the Illusion Monument. Subsequently, he directly "extended" it into the Illusion Monument, and held it gently.

"Boom!"

Everyone in the entire Spellcast City seemed to endure a huge shock in their hearts. They were momentarily stunned, uncertain where the feeling had come from.

"Whoosh."

The Mind Power Masters underneath the Illusion Monument suddenly jolted awake. They were astonished to discover that the Illusion Monument had disappeared. All that was left was an endless square.

"What happened? How did the Illusion Monument disappear?"

"Earlier, my heart seemed to have endured a massive hit. What's going on?"

Only Merlin alone knew what was going on. At this moment, there was a white pearl-like bead in his hand. Inside, there was a strand of Mind Power. It was this strand of Mind Power that had been broadcasting throughout Spellcast City, causing everyone who entered Spellcast City to be unknowingly trapped within its illusion.

"This bead was left behind by Titus, for what reason? What was the motivation for creating this illusion?"

Currently, the white bead in Merlin's hand was no longer glowing. On the contrary, it looked quite plain.

Merlin frowned. He had noticed that there was a strand of Mind Power inside the bead, so it should have been left behind by Titus. It was quite incomprehensible to think that this bead was able to trap everyone in Spellcast City in an illusion.

"Swoosh."

Merlin mobilized his Mind Power, and encapsulated this bead. As Merlin expected, his Mind Power was swiftly absorbed by the bead.

Merlin found himself inside a foreign world. Amid the azure sky, the sun was scorching like fire. Merlin looked up, and surprisingly spotted three suns. He was dumbfounded. Was he still in Spellcast City?

Then, when Merlin looked downward, there was a large city floating languidly in the air. There were many Mind Power Masters coming in and going out, including some Mind Power Masters who were comparable to Great Wizards.

This city was almost the same as Spellcast City, and its surrounding was wrapped with layers of Runic Magic Circle. The only difference was the missing humongous Illusion Monument.

Despite the large number of people, Merlin did not know any of them.

"What's happening?"

Merlin used his Mind Power to sweep below him, but he could feel any life force. These people were all real, and some of the Mind Power Masters were even glaring daggers at Merlin. His act of using Mind Power to investigate them was considered an extremely provocative behavior.

Fortunately, the Mind Power currently demonstrated by Merlin was very powerful, in addition to the fact that he had just undergone a breakthrough. Hence, these Mind Power Masters did not dare pick a fight with Merlin but simply left in a hurry.

"Swish."

Merlin left Spellcast City, and began flying toward other places. He immediately flew to the Giant Mountain. There, the giants still remained. Some of them had even launched attacks on Merlin, but he did not care, and left at once.

This place was exactly similar to Spellcast City and the Slothful Beast world. There were even life forces, so it did not seem like an illusory world. So which world was the real one?

At this moment, Merlin's heart was burdened with a sense of confusion.

Soon, his confusion cleared up, and his heart became resolute. Looking up at the sky, he intoned, "Titus, come out, I know this is your illusion!"

Merlin could not detect that this was an illusion but he knew that his Mind Power must have been trapped inside the white bead. Merlin was beginning to gain an understanding of Titus' mindboggling and unimaginable Hallucinating spells, so he knew that they cannot be gauged by common sense.

"Finally, someone is able to see through the illusion and obtain the illusion bead…"

A faint voice echoed in all directions. Merlin looked around but did not see any silhouette.

"You don't have to look, I'm everywhere."

Just as the words subsided, more than a dozen young Spell Caster wearing long white Wizard robes materialized out of thin air around Merlin. These Wizards all looked exactly the same, down to the deep glint in their eyes.

"Titus!"

Merlin was immediately able to guess the identity of this white-robed Wizard. Other than Titus who had left the bead behind, there could be no one else.

"Yes, I'm Titus!"

Titus' figures began to overlap, and a dozen people quickly disappeared. All that was left was a single figure, who slowly made his way toward Merlin. He assessed Merlin, and nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, finally someone achieved the second step of Hallucinating spells, and entered my world!"

"Your world?"

Merlin was shocked. All of this was beyond Merlin's comprehension. This world was almost like a dimension. Was this all created by Titus? Does that mean that he was equivalent to an Ultimate Arcane Wizard?

That was simply impossible!

"Yes, my world! This is the Illusory World that I've created!"

There was a hint of pride on Titus' face. Then, he continued. "You must've collected the inheritance that I've left behind in Spellcast City? The three main realms – Hallucinating spells, Illusory Heart, and Illusory World. The outside world all know that I have only achieved the Illusory Heart, but who knew that I have been trying to create my own Illusory World!"

"Illusory World? You've succeeded?"

There was a look of astonishment in Merlin's eyes. Naturally, he knew of Titus' theory, so he was aware of how formidable one would be upon consolidating the Illusory World.

The Illusory Heart was already comparable to a Legend. The Illusory World was something that no one had been able to achieve. However, according to Titus' deduction, if someone had managed to consolidate the Illusory World, he would never be harmed by a Legend ever again.

Invincible Legend! This was the formidable power of consolidating the Illusory World…

"Succeeded? If I had succeeded, then I wouldn't have left this strand of Mind Power here."

Titus' voice was full of despair and bitterness.

Chapter 579: Illusory World II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Unsuccessful?"

Merlin carefully looked at this "illusory" world. The life force on every living being was so realistic that Merlin could not discern the difference. Every piece of land, tree, and insect here were completely life-like. How could that be termed unsuccessful?

Using Mind Power to create such a complete illusory world was no less difficult than creating a real world. In fact, Merlin could not imagine how Titus had managed to create this world.

Titus' expression was extremely convoluted. He gazed at the land and the sky, then looked at the scary giants at the Giant Mountain as well as the Mind Power Masters going in and out of Spellcast City.

Here, deaths occurred, and new lives were being born every day. It was an incomparably real world.

"Back then, in order to perfect the theory, I continued to pursue the Mind Power system. I thought that once I was able to create my own Illusory World, my theory would be successful because that's the last of the three main realms of Hallucinating spells!

"You won't be able to imagine that when this Illusory World was created, it was modeled after the time when I was still alive. I basically moved the entire Slothful Beast world into this place. At that time, Spellcast City was still situated at the Vortex Hole, but thereafter, the giants conquered the Vortex Hole, and drove away the Spell Caster civilization…

"The Illusory World that I've created was changing almost every day. I thought that it was a perfect world since it could operate on its own, like a real world. After thousands or ten thousand years, I don't know the extent to which this world would develop…

"However, thereafter, I gradually realized that my Mind Power had not improved at all. It didn't undergo any transformation. I realized that this world was imperfect. Otherwise, I would have possessed an Illusory World, and my Mind Power would have undergone a substantive transformation! I madly tore down this world, and used all sorts of methods to perfect it, but until the day I died, I could not do it.

"Sometimes, I get confused and even doubt whether my theory is flawed? In this world, can the Mind Power system be perfected? Perhaps, reversing the natural order isn't something humans can achieve…"

After listening to Titus' story, and seeing his discouraged, sorrowful expression, Merlin's heart was deeply touched. Among all the Wizards he had met, Titus was someone who had traveled the furthest on the Mind Power path. His accomplishments had far exceeded other Mind Power Masters, not just by a single step but by several steps.

Among the three main realms of Hallucinating spells, Titus had reached the critical point of the third realm, Illusory World. He was a hair's breadth away from successfully creating the Illusory World. However, he failed in the end.

Such a complete world that could evolve and develop on its own was completely indistinguishable from a real world. Every living being in this world was vividly alive. Each had their own story and ideas. How was it different from the real world?

However, still, Titus had failed. This was not a complete world!

"Since you're dead, what's this Mind Power about? Moreover, what about this illusion bead?"

Merlin knew that Titus had died in the end. After all, he was in the Slothful Beast world. Without a substantive transformation of Mind Power, he could not sustain his physical body. In the absence of elemental crystal stones, Titus had died.

Nevertheless, he left behind this illusion bead, and even used a single strand of Mind Power to broadcast across Spellcast City.

Titus stretched out his finger. In an instant, their environment changed drastically. A long table appeared in a quiet house, and the two of them sat facing one another.

In this Illusory World, Titus was almost omnipotent. Even feats that defied logic were considered a child's play to him.

"Sit down. Let's talk leisurely, and I'll tell you everything!"

Titus smiled and continued. "I'm indeed dead but I'm not willing to die just like that. I'm peeved that the theory I created couldn't be fulfilled. Even if I die, I want to witness with my own eyes that my theory being fulfilled one day! Therefore, I transfigured the illusion bead, and put the imperfect Illusory World in it. I also integrated my Mind Power into the Illusory World. As long as the Illusory World doesn't disappear, in theory, I will not die!"

Merlin understood Titus' meaning. The current Titus was nothing more than a strand of Mind Power or a Mind Power that carried all of Titus' memories. It could not be cultivated, so it would disappear completely once it left the illusion bead.

"Won't die? Then if I'm to destroy the illusion bead, what would happen to you?"

Merlin suddenly raised his head, looking at Titus with a bemused expression.

Titus' expression remained unchanged. He articulated clearly, "If the illusion bead was destroyed, the entire Illusory World would collapse. Then, my Mind Power would vanish as well."

Merlin smiled. He had guessed correctly. There was no such thing as would not die. For example, even though Honored Legends could attach themselves to a Maxim, they would still die if a powerful force destroyed the Maxim. In fact, even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards could die if they encountered a more powerful force. No one could live forever.

This illusion bead was very fragile. Merlin could easily crush it, and the entire Illusory World would collapse.

"Tell me, what's the purpose of you leaving behind the illusion bead?"

Merlin gently picked up the tea on the table. It tasted slightly bitter but smelled wonderful. Despite knowing that it was an illusion, Merlin could not differentiate between reality and illusion in this Illusory World.

"Purpose? Of course, there's a purpose! I left behind the illusion bead because I was waiting for someone to step into the second step of Hallucinating spells. Sadly, after so many years, only precious few managed to enter the first step of Hallucinating spells, what more the second step? You're the only Mind Power Master who had finally entered the second step of Hallucinating spells. Although you're still far from the third step, I can only choose you."

Titus sighed softly, and looked at Merlin with a complicated expression.

"Huh? Choose me? Did you deliberately let me see through the Illusion Monument?"

Merlin's heart ticked as he deciphered the implications of Titus' words.

"Haha, of course, it was deliberate. According to my original intention, only someone who has entered the second stage of Illusory Heart would be qualified to obtain the illusion bead. That would be my most ideal candidate… However, as you can see, Spellcast City is in the doldrums. If I have to wait for someone to achieve the Illusory Heart stage, I might have to wait forever. Therefore, I don't want to wait endlessly anymore. Once you've reached the second step of Hallucinating spells, I deliberately allowed you to discover the secret that the Illusion Monument is a Hallucinating spell, and subsequently, let you obtain the illusion bead."

Merlin did not feel that there was anything wrong with the explanation, which corresponded to his own speculations. He knew very well that he was not a Mind Power genius. At best, he was slightly more talented and had better luck, hence he was able to walk in front of many Mind Power Masters.

Compared to Titus, however, the difference was too pronounced.

"My purpose is very simple – to pass the illusion bead to you with the hope that one day, after you've achieved the realm of Illusory Heart, you'll work hard to create the Illusory World, and perfect my theory! This is so that my Illusory World can be completed. I'm dissatisfied as I don't believe that my theory is flawed. This theory is absolutely right! If you're willing to promise me this, then you can refine this bead. Hehe, don't look down on this illusion bead. Once you've refined it, you'll be able to control the Illusory World in it. Although it's imperfect, it's still possible to entrap an ordinary Legend in the illusion… You can regard it as a casting tool that can rival a Great Legend!"

Merlin's heart skipped. Control this Illusory World? If he could really control it, then Merlin did not doubt Titus' words that it could entrap a Great Legend in its illusion.

He had experienced this illusion personally. Even the life forces appeared to be real, so it was no longer comparable to ordinary illusions. This was far more powerful than the Blackfire Lord's illusion in the past.

Anyone would be tempted to own a casting tool that could trap a Legend, and Merlin was no exception!

However, Merlin frowned. He still had some doubts.

"If I can control the Illusory World, what benefit is it to you? Don't tell me it's just to witness your system being perfected. I don't believe such nonsense."

Merlin was still somewhat wary of Titus. After all, his bizarreness surpassed even the Blackfire Lord. Not only did he create a Mind Power system that no one had ever created before, but it reached such an incredibly advanced level of mind-blowing proportions.

"Of course, it won't be enough for me just to be able to witness someone else perfect my system! Since you've inherited my Mind Power system, you should know what comes after the three main realms, after the Illusory World?"

"From illusion to reality, reverse the natural order!"

Merlin answered coldly.

"That's right, from illusion to reality, reverse the natural order! This is the last step of the Mind Power system. Before reaching this final step, you can never claim to perfect the Mind Power system. Based on my conceptualization, if you've managed to convert illusion into reality, and reverse the natural order, then what do you think will happen to my Illusory World? It would become real. Everything would be converted from illusion into reality. In other words, if one day you've managed to turn illusion into reality, I would be resurrected!"

"Illusion into reality? Resurrection?"

Stormy waves began to crash down on Merlin's heart. He felt that Titus was overly crazy. Even if he had completely inherited Titus' Mind Power system, he had never thought that turning illusion into reality would bring about such an inconceivable, unbelievable effect.

This was like creating something out of nothing, and was a million times harder than creating a completely real dimension. This was akin to a fool's daydream!

"Don't look at me like that. The world of Mind Power must involve bold imagination. You must dare to imagine, and dare to make it happen. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to create such a great Mind Power system! Although I know that it would be very difficult, some hope is better than none. Moreover, once you've refined the illusion bead, you'll find out whether what I said is true. You can easily cause this Mind Power of mine to disappear…"

After a long moment, Merlin raised his head. The Mind Power transformed into a gentle breeze, and disappeared from the Illusory World. All that was left was a soft murmur, "I'll prove it…"

"Swoosh."

Chapter 580: Controlling the Illusion Bead

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Merlin, what happened to you?"

Beside Merlin's ear, Wizard Luce's voice rang. The latter was looking at Merlin with a concerned expression.

"Oh, nothing, what just happened?"

Merlin suddenly "woke up", and realized that a crowd had gathered.

"The Illusion Monument had disappeared. I don't know what happened either."

Wizard Luce shrugged, indicating that he did not know the details. He had never been overly concerned with the Illusion Monument, so its sudden disappearance did not affect him. However, the rest of the Wizards in Spellcast City would not think the same way.

Merlin scanned his gaze across the crowd, and subtly shook his head. He grasped the illusion bead tightly in his hand, and returned to the Vortex Hole with Luce. Here, there was a castle. It was Merlin and Luce's residence, so no one from Spellcast City would disturb them.

Upon returning to the castle, Merlin stretched out his palm, and revealed the white illusion bead resting in it. It was all because of this illusion bead that the entire Spellcast City had been trapped in an illusion for so many years.

Merlin carefully studied the white illusion bead and did not discover any peculiarity. At most, it was a casting tool transfigured from ordinary materials.

However, Merlin needed to make some preparations. He woke up the black cat Didimoss. Although Didimoss was sleeping, if there was an emergency, he could still be woken up.

"Didimoss, in a while, I'm going to take control of this white bead. If you sense something wrong, don't hesitate and destroy the bead immediately."

The black cat Didimoss nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary casting tool. Why are you so nervous?"

Merlin smiled, and did not say anything. He consolidated his mind imprint, and fiercely engraved it into the illusion bead.

"Hum hum hum."

Taking control of a casting tool was very easy. All it required was engraving one's mind imprint. Right now, Merlin was engraving his mind imprint into the illusion bead.

Even though Merlin was on his highest guard, taking control of the illusion bead was quite easy. His mind imprint was engraved into the illusion bead without a hitch. Moreover, Merlin had finally understood why Titus said that as long as Merlin controlled the illusion bead, everything would become clear to him.

The moment Merlin took control of the illusion bead, he could distinctly feel everything inside the illusion bead, including Titus' Mind Power strand. If Merlin had so desired, he could immediately destroy Titus' Mind Power.

This was because the entire Illusory World was contained in the illusion bead. After all, Titus did not manage to perfect the Illusory World. Otherwise, the Illusory World would be situated in Titus' Awareness, and not in this illusion bead.

Nevertheless, Merlin did not destroy Titus' Mind Power. Up to this point, everything that Titus had told him was the truth. Titus did not hide anything, so allowing his Mind Power strand to remain in the Illusory World would not pose any threat to Merlin.

Therefore, allowing Titus' Mind Power to stay would be of great help to Merlin in perfecting the Mind Power system in the future.

"Phew…"

Merlin opened his eyes. The black cat Didimoss jumped onto his shoulder happily.

"Merlin, you've controlled this casting tool, right?"

"Yes, it's controlled now. However, Didimoss, you can try out its power!"

Merlin's lips curved into a cryptic smile. Then, he manipulated the illusion bead and the Illusory World to quickly shroud around the black cat Didimoss.

"Boom."

Merlin only managed to mobilize the Illusory World for a split second, but he felt like his entire body had fallen into a deep swamp, and felt inexplicably exhausted.

"Mind Power, why did it consume so much Mind Power?"

Merlin was dumbfounded. He had only tried to mobilize the Illusory World for a short moment but discovered that it was incomparably difficult. Even for a split second, his Mind Power had almost been entirely diminished.

This split second did not affect the black cat Didimoss in any form. Instead, he was peering at Merlin quite curiously. Seeing that Merlin was unresponsive, Didimoss could not be bothered to rack its brains, and resumed sleeping on Merlin's shoulder.

"Whoosh."

Merlin's Mind Power projection swiftly entered the Illusory World.

"Titus!"

Merlin was biting back anger as he hollered.

"Oh? Wizard Merlin, you've taken control of the illusion bead, so you must know that I've been telling the truth, right?"

Titus smiled jovially as he appeared in the sky.

Merlin's face, on the other hand, was extremely dark. Coldly, he asked, "Titus, what's happening? I only mobilized the Illusory World for a split second but my Mind Power is completely exhausted."

Merlin remembered that Titus had mentioned once he had controlled the Illusory World in the illusion bead, he might even be able to trap Great Legends in the illusion.

Merlin had also personally experienced the Illusory World, so he basically agreed with Titus' comment. Right now, however, he realized that he was completely unable to mobilize the Illusory World.

Titus shook his head helplessly, and said in an even tone, "Wizard Merlin, you should know that the Illusory World was consolidated by me. You haven't been fully integrated into the Illusory World, so naturally, you're unable to easily mobilize the Illusory World. You can only use the illusory bead to forcefully mobilize the Illusory World, and this would require an immense amount of Mind Power as support!"

"You mean that I can't mobilize the Illusory World?"

Merlin's expression darkened even further. He was beginning to feel "cheated" by Titus.

"No, no, no, you can still mobilize the Illusory World but your Mind Power has to be even more powerful. Your Mind Power must grow by many folds, at least to the point of consolidating a Ninth-level Mind Heart. Then, you may be somewhat able to mobilize the Illusory World though still unable to do as you please. Unless and until you can fully control the Illusory World and integrate it with your Mind Power. This will, however, require your Hallucinating spells to achieve the stage of the Illusory Heart."

"If I integrate it with my Mind Power upon achieving the Illusory Heart, then I won't have a choice whether or not to perfect the Illusory World. I'll be forced to help you perfect this Illusory World?"

Merlin immediately realized the implications.

"Of course. Wizard Merlin, once the Illusory World is integrated into your Mind Power, this world would be yours. It would no longer be related to me. I'll be just a strand of Mind Power in it. Besides, this would help you build a strong foundation in consolidating the Illusory World because you won't have to spend endless time and effort to construct a world from scratch. All you need to do is add your understanding into this Illusory World, and gradually perfect it."

Merlin knew that this was Titus' true intention. He wanted to bind Merlin to the Illusory World, so that if Merlin was able to perfect the Illusory World one day and turn illusion into reality, reversing the natural order, Titus would be resurrected!

"Hmph!"

Merlin did not speak. He gave a cold snort, and his Mind Power exited the Illusory World. Merlin knew that he must have been silently "played" by Titus. Nevertheless, even knowing this cunning manipulation, Merlin could not give up on the Illusory World.

He kept the Illusory World. Merlin's heart was thumping strongly. After careful organization, he discovered that he had derived innumerable benefit in the Slothful Beast world. Not only did he manage to complete the God-Binding Disc but he had also fused four-elemental spells.

Additionally, he also received a complete theory of the Mind Power system, which gave him a clear direction forward without wandering aimlessly. Moreover, he had reached the second stage of Hallucinating spells, and was now able to entrap some of the ordinary Great Wizards. Subsequently, he would have to gain an understanding of the third stage of Hallucinating spells.

However, the biggest trove was still the Illusory World. This was consolidated from Titus' life work. Regardless of now or in the future, the Illusory World would be invaluable to Merlin's work in the Mind Power system. Although he could not use it right now, once he had strengthened his Mind Power, he would be able to forcefully mobilize limited powers of the Illusory World.

"Unfortunately, there's still no way to open up the Vortex Hole. I don't know when I can leave Vortex Hole or perhaps I won't be able to leave forever!"

Merlin stared at the large Vortex Hole in the sky with a look of helplessness. Whether it was Didimoss or Titus from the Illusory World, none of them could help Merlin leave the Vortex Hole.

Merlin would only stay below the Vortex Hole. While he was exchanging knowledge of Hallucinating spells with Titus in the Illusory World, he was quietly observing the changes in the Vortex Hole, hoping to find a way out of the Slothful Beast world…In the icy Void Zone, a dazzling ball of light appeared like it was "skipping". Every skip was a leap across vast distances. In the Void Zone without any space, this was quite unbelievable.

"I can sense it. The Slothful Beast isn't far in front!"

The ball of light consisted of three Wizards or more accurately, two avatars and the real Blackfire Lord. The three of them were the Ultimate Arcane Wizard Setoh's spatial avatar, the Blackfire Lord, and the maxim avatar consolidated by Legend Zado.

Relying on Legend Zado's maxim avatar, the three of them traveled an endless journey, and finally approached the Slothful Beast.

"Zado, has there been any change in the Slothful Beast?"

The Blackfire Lord asked quietly.

Legend Zado's maxim avatar shook his head and said, "The Slothful Beast hasn't changed. It has been moving aimlessly. Since the last time, it swallowed again once, this time consuming three empty dimensions…"

Legend Zado's maxim avatar initially had a calm expression but suddenly, his expression changed drastically. In a deep voice, he said, "This is bad, the Slothful Beast has stopped. It looks like it'll go to sleep again!"

"Stopped?"

The Blackfire Lord and Arcane Wizard Setoh's faces paled slightly. They of course knew what it meant for the Slothful Beast to stop. It meant that the Slothful Beast might probably fall asleep.

If the Slothful Beast fell asleep, it would be even more difficult to save Merlin!

"Come, let's speed up. We mustn't allow the Slothful Beast to fall asleep!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's spatial avatar shrouded Zado's maxim avatar, and the Blackfire Lord with the dazzling bright light once again and started "skipping" gently. The next moment, they had traversed across a vast distance.

"We've arrived!"

The white ball of light had stopped. In the pitch-black void before them, there was an unimaginably huge beast floating calmly. Its behemoth body fluttered slightly, seeming to adjust its sleeping position.

Soon, this Slothful Beast would fall into a deep slumber, and no one would be able to wake it up.

Chapter 581: Tear Apart, Backdoor!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Blackfire Lord, Wizard Setoh!"

Behind the Slothful Beast, a tiny Wizard as insignificant as a speck of dust quickly came before the Blackfire Lord and Wizard Setoh.

Although Legend Zado already knew Wizard Setoh's identity of via his maxim avatar, he was still a little excited to see an Ultimate Arcane Wizard in person.

Previously, when the Blackfire Lord had mentioned that he was going to invite an Arcane Wizard, in his heart, Legend Zado did not really believe him. Legend Zado had been in Arcane City for such a long time but had never seen an Arcane Wizard. In fact, even some of the Honored Legends had never met the three Great Arcane Wizards.

Right now, however, Arcane Wizard Setoh had appeared before him. Despite Legend Zado's excitement, he did not forget the matter at hand. He calmed his emotions, and said solemnly, "Blackfire Lord, Wizard Setoh, the situation isn't ideal. The Slothful Beast has fallen asleep too sudden. It had already chosen a place, and I'm afraid it's falling into a deep slumber as we speak."

"I'll go and take a look."

Wizard Setoh only glanced at Legend Zado, and flew directly in front of the Slothful Beast. Before the huge Slothful Beast, anyone would seem incomparably tiny.

The Blackfire Lord and Zado exchanged a look and flew over as well. They saw Wizard Setoh staring at the Slothful Beast's mouth with an increasingly grave expression.

"This is troublesome. The Slothful Beast is already asleep and will not swallow anything in a while. Before this, I was planning to use some techniques to pass some messages into its body when it opened its mouth to swallow, but now, this plan will not work."

Wizard Setoh was feeling troubled. Using brute force to pry open the Slothful Beast' mouth was completely impossible. The fact that he was a mere spatial avatar was irrelevant. Even if his real body was present together with the two other Arcane Wizards, it would still be impossible.

Looking at this huge Slothful Beast, even Wizard Setoh appeared quite powerless. The Slothful Beast was considered one of the greatest existences in the Void Zone, the darling of the natural order. Even Arcane Wizards were powerless against it.

Fortunately, the number of these Slothful Beast was extremely few, probably only up to a hundred or so creatures. A hundred Slothful Beasts might sound disheartening but they were scattered all across the Void Zone, so it was considered very rare. Even after hundreds and thousands of years, none of the Slothful Beast would meet one another.

"Wizard Setoh, is there no other way?"

The Blackfire Lord asked a little impatiently. More than thirty years had passed, who knew what Merlin would become in the belly of the Slothful Beast.

"Be patient. There are other ways. We just need to try it out."

Wizard Setoh flew one circle around the huge beast. Even with his speed, it took him a few months to complete. That was how immensely huge the Slothful Beast was.

"The Slothful Beast has a few weaker points that can potentially lead into its body. The first is the mouth. However, since it's asleep, the mouth is shut and cannot be entered. Next would be the ear. However, the Slothful Beast's ear seems to contain a layer of membrane. I'm not sure if I'm able to force my way through that…. Lastly, there's one remaining option, which also poses the greatest chance!"

The Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado's eyes both lit up. They were completely helpless against this Slothful Beast. Besides, their understanding would not be able to rival Wizard Setoh, considering that the three Great Arcane Wizards had attempted to "capture" a Slothful Beast before. Even though the attempt was a failure, surely, the three Great Arcane Wizards had studied the Slothful Beast carefully and knew it very well.

"Wizard Setoh, what's the Slothful Beast's last weak point?"

The Blackfire Lord asked softly.

Wizard Setoh's expression turned slightly uncomfortable. He led the Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado half a circle to the back of the Slothful Beast and pointed toward an enormous hole.

"Here!"

"Erm… Wizard Setoh, are you really going to put your head in there?"

Upon seeing the "enormous hole", the Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado each exchanged looks of disbelief. Wizard Setoh's face, on the other hand, was slightly disgruntled. After all, he was a respectable Ultimate Arcane Wizard but now had to probe the Slothful Beast's backdoor, and attempt to tear this hole open to form a communication channel with the inside world.

"Hmph. Blackfire, if it's not because of your insistence to rescue your disciple, do you think I would do this? Anyway, I'm going to try using the Spatial Maxim, Dissecting Slit, to slit open the protection of the Slothful Beast, and establish a communication channel! Oh yes, it's best if someone can enter. However, not a real person or else you might not be able to exit."

Wizard Setoh and the Blackfire Lord naturally turned to look at Legend Zado's maxim avatar.

Legend Zado could only offer weakly. "Wizard Setoh, please use my maxim avatar to try it out."

"Alright. Get ready, I'm starting!"

Wizard Setoh did not want to delay any longer. After all, using such a method to enter the Slothful Beast's body was truly appalling. If they were seen by any top powers of other civilizations, the entire Spell Caster civilization would probably be subject to ridicule.

"Blackfire, you're on guard duty!"

After making proper arrangements, Wizard Setoh took Legend Zado and flew toward the enormous hole behind the Slothful Beast.

This enormous hole looked like a massive black hole. Inside, there appeared to be a vortex layer. Legend Zado was also a Great Legend, so naturally, he could sense the terrifying strangling power contained in this vortex. Even if he was protected by a Maxim, he might be strangled by it, what more to tear open a passage.

"Zado, I'll do my best to tear open a passage. Then, your maxim avatar must enter immediately and find Merlin as quickly as possible. The number of people coming out must be as few as possible, not more than five! Once time runs out, you might have to remain inside forever. The Slothful Beast has an incredible ability, that is, any injured weak point would automatically be strengthened. Therefore, I cannot guarantee that I can tear it open a second time!"

Legend Zado understood completely. There was only one chance for him to enter. He must bring Merlin out. Otherwise, his maxim avatar would have to remain inside forever.

Taking a deep breath, Legend Zado said to Wizard Setoh in a deep voice, "Wizard Setoh, please be rest assured, I'll find Merlin as fast as possible and bring him out!"

"Okay, then I'll start tearing this vortex open!"

Strands of Spatial Maxim began to appear around Wizard Setoh. These Spatial Maxim strands contained an amazing power that was unique to the Arcane Wizards, becoming even more powerful. As soon as the Maxim appeared, a threatening power ensued. Although Zado knew that it was not directed at him, there was still a feeling of trepidation.

"Cut!"

Wizard Setoh growled softly, and the surrounding Void Zone seemed to vibrate. It was important to keep in mind that there were no time and space in the Void Zone.

"Open up!"

Wizard Setoh roared. His Spatial Maxim evolved into an extremely sharp piercing force, and violently speared toward the vortex inside the enormous hole.

"Skrr."

The huge Slothful Beast shuddered like it felt the intrusion. Amid its deep sleep, the Slothful Beast tremored a little but soon calmed down. Such a small movement was not enough to affect the Slothful Beast.

"Alright, it's torn! Zado, go on in."

Wizard Setoh had viciously torn it apart with his hands, and the vortex inside the enormous hole actually began to split open. The terrifying strangling power had subsided. Wizard Zado's maxim avatar nodded, and swiftly transformed into a light ray, then squeezed through the narrow cracks.In the Illusory World, Merlin was sitting opposite Titus. Every day, he would visit the Illusory World and talk to Titus, as well as seek some knowledge about Hallucinating spells.

Titus was undeniably the foremost pioneer in Hallucinating spells and the Mind Power system. After talking to him for several months, Merlin felt that he had gained a lot of benefits, and derived a more profound understanding of Hallucinating spells. In addition, he had also fortified the second step of Hallucinating spells.

However, in order to reach the third step, Merlin would have to depend on his own understanding. According to Titus, upon reaching the first stage of Hallucinating spells, no one could help Merlin. He could only rely on his own understanding.

After all, Hallucinating spells were not static. Every person's Hallucinating spells would vary based on their own experiences, et cetera. For example, Titus' Hallucinating spells were filled with peace, so people would unconsciously fall trap to his Hallucinating spells.

This was because Titus had stayed in the Slothful Beast world for a long time. Once his Hallucinating spells had matured, his life became very peaceful, so his Hallucinating spells also became more and more soothing.

Merlin, on the other hand, was different. He had traveled from the Kingdom of Blackmoon to the Void Zone and many dimensions. He had experienced a series of violence and bloodshed, so all his Hallucinating spells were filled with magnificence.

"What else do I need to achieve the third step of the first stage Hallucinating spells? What about the Illusory Heart?"

After talking to Titus for a moment, Merlin opened his mouth and asked evenly.

Titus smiled but it was a slightly helpless smile. He replied softly, "Wizard Merlin, you've now reached the second step of Hallucinating spells. You should know by now how difficult Hallucinating spells can be. Only you alone can grasp an understanding! I can only offer you my own experience. If I was to start all over again, even I'm not sure whether I can reach this point smoothly.

"As for the Illusory Heart, forgive my bluntness, Wizard Merlin, but it's too difficult for you to achieve it at this juncture. Although I hope more than anyone for you to achieve an understanding of the Illusory Heart so that you can perfect the Illusory World for me to be resurrected. Honestly, even I cannot tell whether or not you'll successfully achieve the Illusory Heart!"

Merlin stared at Titus. After a long moment, he nodded without any expression. In reality, Merlin was most well-informed about how difficult it was to accomplish the Mind Power system that Titus had created.

Not only the Illusory Heart but even the third step of the first stage Hallucinating spells, Merlin did not know if he could achieve it. For example, for the past few months, through his exchange with Titus in the Illusory World, he had gained a lot of knowledge and benefitted greatly. However, most of it was merely theoretical knowledge, and did not substantially increase his Mind Power.

Up to now, his Mind Power had only undergone a massive improvement when he had achieved an understanding of the second step of Hallucinating spells. At other times, there was not a single trace of improvement, and he did not gain any other understanding of Hallucinating spells.

Merlin knew that this process could not be rushed, so he continued to say, "In that case, Titus, tell me about the Illusory Heart."

Titus nodded and said, "The Illusory Heart is actually very simple…"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the entire Illusory World seemed to tremor slightly. Merlin's Mind Power connection was instantly broken.

"What happened?"

Titus stared at Merlin's broken Mind Power with surprise. Prior to this, he was able to see the outside situation via the illusion bead, but now that it was controlled by Merlin, unless Merlin was willing, Titus was unable to see anything happening on the outside.

At this moment, outside the Illusory World, Merlin was jolted awake. He opened his eyes, and immediately looked up toward the sky at the previously unchanged Vortex Hole.

Chapter 582: Didimoss Leaves

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Vortex Hole trembled as if there was a terrifying power stirring the vortex as well as the entire Slothful Beast word. Below the Vortex Hole, Spellcast City felt the tremors more intensely.

"What's going on?"

Wizard Luce quickly arrived where Merlin was. Even the black cat Didimoss had awakened, and was watching the huge Vortex Hole in the air vigilantly.

Merlin shook his head. He also did not know what was happening. He only felt that there seemed to be a fearsome force stirring the Vortex Hole.

"Tss."

Suddenly, an illusory finger appeared from the Vortex Hole.

"A finger?"

Merlin and Wizard Luce cast a glance at each other, rejoice showing on their faces. Someone was tearing the Vortex Hole from the outside. There had long been rumors in the Slothful Beast world. If there was a powerful force that tore a vortex from the outside, then it would be possible to leave the Slothful Beast world. However, that was just an ancient rumor. After all, even Lords might not be able to tear open the Vortex Hole.

However, now, looking at the finger, Merlin knew that this was an external force tearing open the Vortex Hole.

"Boom."

The huge illusory finger appeared from the Vortex Hole, followed by another, two, three…

Ten fingers, followed by two huge palms, firmly gripped each side of the Vortex Hole, and opened a gigantic hole.

"Whoosh."

A figure that was accompanied by a terrifying pressure quickly flew down from the Vortex Hole.

"Meow, that's Zado's life force. Merlin, Zado came to save you!"

The black cat Didimoss was the first to feel the familiar life force, and said excitedly.

"Teacher Zado?"

Merlin lifted his head, and looked at the figure. He was similar to the Legend Zado he knew in his memories but the life force was a little different.

However, the black cat Didimoss had been by Zado's side for far longer, so it very quickly felt Legend Zado's life force.

"Swoosh."

That figure's speed was extremely swift, and landed beside Merlin. It was indeed Legend Zado.

"Haha, Merlin, it really is you! Quick, come with me. Wizard Setoh had forcefully opened the Slothful Beast's passage. We'll be able to leave the Slothful Beast world through this passage."

Legend Zado also did not expect that he would meet Merlin so soon, and could not help but laughed out loud.

"Wizard Setoh?"

There was a trace of doubt in Merlin's eyes. Opening up the Slothful Beast's passage was not something an ordinary Spell Caster could do.

"It's a long story. The Blackfire Lord spent more than thirty years trying to get Arcane Wizard Setoh to use an avatar. Quick, I'll tell you more after we leave."

Legend Zado looked at the vortex passage in the sky, and urged. He also knew that it was very difficult for Arcane Wizard Setoh to maintain this passage.

"Hmm, Luce, let's go. We can leave the Slothful Beast world!"

Merlin glanced at Spellcast City. He wanted to bring the Wizards of Spellcast City along with him but that was impossible. Thus, he could only instantly transform into a streak of light with Legend Zado, as well as Luce and the black cat Didimoss, and throw themselves into the passage at the mouth of the vortex.The Blackfire Lord looked nervously at Wizard Setoh, who was struggling to support the passage. It seemed that he would not be able to support it any longer.

"Wizard Setoh, how is it? How much longer can you hold on for?"

The Blackfire Lord asked quietly.

Wizard Setoh's expression was solemn. "I never thought that the Slothful Beast would have such powerful self-regulation. The pressure on me has just doubled, and I won't be able to hold on to this passage for much longer. If Zado still doesn't come out, the passage will be sealed, and he'll never be able to leave!"

Even the Blackfire Lord could feel that the sleeping Slothful Beast was slightly swaying. A strange fluctuation was repairing the passage torn by Wizard Setoh.

Under such a situation, even if it was Wizard Setoh, he would not be able to hold on for long.

"Haha, Wizard Setoh, Blackfire Lord, I've lived up to your expectations and brought Merlin back!"

A burst of loud laughter sounded from the passage in the vortex, and at the same time, several figures swiftly flew out from the passage.

"Boom."

The colossal Slothful Beast's body shook again, and Wizard Setoh was no longer able to hold on. As soon as he let go, the passage on the Slothful Beast's Vortex Hole had disappeared immediately, apparently repaired by the Slothful Beast.

Moreover, Wizard Setoh was no longer needed to forcefully open the Vortex Hole again.

"Teacher!"

Merlin greeted the Blackfire Lord respectfully. If not for the Blackfire Lord's perseverance, Luce and he might have been trapped in the Slothful Beast world forever.

"Oh? Merlin, we seemed to have come out from the Slothful Beast's backdoor."

The black cat Didimoss said in an exaggerated tone which even contained a trace of irritation. Merlin also turned around to look and found that the Vortex Hole was indeed the Slothful Beast's backdoor.

Thinking about this, Merlin's expression also became unnatural.

"Blackfire, this is your disciple, Merlin?"

Suddenly, Wizard Setoh's sharp gaze fell on Merlin, giving Merlin a feeling that he had been completely exposed. Wizard Setoh's eyes were endlessly deep.

Merlin's body shivered, and he thought about Legend Zado's explanation. This unfamiliar Spell Caster was no doubt Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar that the Blackfire Lord had spent more than thirty years trying to call.

Even if he was only an avatar, he was worthy of the name. This was the one of the Three Great Arcane Wizards of Spell Caster civilization, Arcane Wizard Setoh!

Merlin had never met an Arcane Wizard before but he could sense an unfathomable life force on Wizard Setoh's body. It was completely different from the feeling that Merlin got from the Blackfire Lord.

The Blackfire Lord was strong, and even Merlin could feel a powerful sense of oppression. However, in the end, Merlin knew that the Blackfire Lord's strength was tangible and visible.

However, Merlin could not fathom Wizard Setoh at all. It was as if he was illusory, making Merlin unable to feel that he was real.

"Merlin, this is Arcane Wizard Setoh. This time, it was all Wizard Setoh's hard work that rescued you safely from the Slothful Beast's body.

The Blackfire Lord pointed at Wizard Setoh, and introduced to Merlin.

Merlin quickly bowed in respect, "Great Arcane Wizard, thank you for your help!"

"You teacher used a precious promise in exchange for my help, so if you have to thank anyone, thank Blackfire instead! Merlin, you have a good teacher. I've never seen Blackfire pay such a hefty price for a disciple. You're indeed quite good, a Six-Elemental Spell Caster. You have a chance of becoming a Great Legend in the future!"

Wizard Setoh narrowed his eyes and glanced over at the black cat Didimoss. When he saw Didimoss, his expression changed greatly.

"Natural order? I can't see the brand of the natural order on your body… You've reversed the natural order?"

Wizard Setoh's voice trembled when he mentioned about "reversing the natural order".

Merlin looked at Legend Zado, and Legend Zado also said awkwardly, "Wizard Setoh, Didimoss only gradually changed into a living entity from a spirit of the Runic Magic Circle by a twist of fate. It was also because of reversing the natural order that it was able to become a being comparable to Great Legends!"

Wizard Setoh grew even more excited after hearing Legend Zado's firm answer, and could not stop laughing. "Haha, sixteen hundred years ago, the Three Great Arcane Wizards set out for the sake of a weak, ordinary life that had reversed the natural order that the Giant Tribe had obtained first. At that time, the life that reversed the natural order was only equivalent to a Fourth-level Spell Caster, weak and pitiful!

"Even so, because of strong interference from other civilizations, we didn't manage to get it in the end, and it was taken by the Titan Giant of the Giant Tribe. It's so regretful! Who would've thought that I'd encounter a living being that had reversed the natural order, and also comparable to Great Legends? Hahaha, it's worth it, it's really worth it! Merlin, Didimoss is very important to us, the Three Great Arcane Wizards. There's no brand of the natural order on its body, so countless powerful others would go crazy over Didimoss. It'll be too dangerous if it stays by your side. If a foreign tribe knows of this, they would compete for it at all costs. I'll take Didimoss away for now. Didimoss will be safe under our protection. In addition, it'll even grow faster!"

Wizard Setoh's expression was completely agitated, and there was even some madness in that excitement.

"Uh… Merlin, I don't want to go!"

The black cat Didimoss looked at Wizard Setoh, and felt fear from the bottom of its heart. It jumped onto Merlin's shoulder but with a light grab from Wizard Setoh, an invisible power had enveloped Didimoss, and instantly imprisoned it.

"Wizard Setoh, the black cat Didimoss has been with me for many years…"

Before Merlin even finished speaking, Wizard Setoh waved his hand and said, "Merlin, you can't even begin to imagine the preciousness of a being who had reversed the natural order. In the vast Void Zone, among billions of dimensions, such an existence can be counted on one hand! Don't worry, we won't harm Didimoss. After all, it's also a friend of ours, the Spell Casters."

At this time, the Blackfire Lord also interrupted. "Merlin, Wizard Setoh won't do anything to Didimoss. Don't worry!"

Merlin still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Didimoss had been with him since the Kingdom of Blackmoon to the Void Zone. Furthermore, Merlin felt that with Didimoss by his side, it was like having a Great Legend.

Now that Wizard Setoh wanted to take Didimoss away, Merlin would naturally find it hard to accept.

However, if it really was like what Wizard Setoh had said that Didimoss, a living being who had reversed the natural order was so important, then keeping Didimoss by his side was indeed too dangerous. They were lucky that strong beings from foreign tribes had not discovered them. Otherwise, if they took action, no one would be able to save Merlin and Didimoss.

Of course, the most important reason was that Merlin did not have the power to refuse Wizard Setoh at all.

Thus, Merlin went to Didimoss' side and said gently, "Didimoss, go with Wizard Setoh to Arcane City. It's the safest there! I'll come back for you later. Don't forget, we need to return to the Kingdom of Blackmoon…"

The black cat Didimoss no longer struggled, and nodded slightly. Then, it swished its long tail and jumped on Wizard Setoh's shoulder.

Then, Wizard Setoh quickly and excitedly brought Didimoss back to Arcane City…

Chapter 583: Back to the Pavilion of Rarities

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the black cat Didimoss was taken away by Wizard Setoh, Merlin glanced at the Blackfire Lord. Although he did not know what relationship the Blackfire Lord and Wizard Setoh had, it was obvious that the Blackfire Lord must have paid a huge price to invite an Ultimate Arcane Wizard.

"Teacher!"

Merlin was just about to speak when the Blackfire Lord held out a hand to stop him. He said calmly, "You don't have to say anything. You're my disciple as well as my hope! I still wish that you'll be able to perfect the Mind Power system in the future. At that time, my disciple will become a powerful existence who opens up a system, haha…"

The Blackfire Lord said this, and laughed loudly. He did not remain there and flew away directly, only leaving behind one warning. "Merlin, the Void Zone is very dangerous. Not even Great Lords dare to say that they can wander around. You're on your own now! If you encounter something impossible, try to avoid them…"

The voice gradually disappeared, showing that the Blackfire Lord had already left.

Legend Zado patted Merlin's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Merlin, it's not as dangerous as the Blackfire Lord made it out to be. Haha, with me as well as the Blackfire Lord, you can go wherever you want in the Void Zone! However, there's some truth in the Blackfire Lord's words. I have to leave and start preparing to form an Earth Maxim, and become an Honored Legend with an Earth Maxim as the foundation!"

It seemed that Legend Zado was also stimulated. Back when he was cornered by Legend Arnie, it made him feel that even if he was a Great Legend with five Maxims, there was still a gap compared to an Honored Legend.

Legend Zado was undoubtedly a true genius. Legends that could form five Maxims were few and far in between in the entire Spell Caster civilization. They were also regarded as Legends who were most likely to become Great Lords.

Thus, now that Legend Zado had made up his mind, it might be a long time before he appeared again.

"Legend Zado, thank you very much for this time. I even caused you to use up a Maxim to form a maxim avatar."

Merlin also knew that for a Great Legend, forming a maxim avatar required decades or even centuries of recovery. The price was extremely high.

"Haha, what's the big deal about a maxim avatar? I have five Maxims, so just one maxim avatar doesn't affect me. However, this incident has also taught me several lessons. There are indeed some dangers in the Void Zone, so just take this maxim avatar along with you although it can't help much in a battle. The sixth form of your Darkness Eye is no worse than this maxim avatar. Therefore, its real function is to help you to contact me quickly. In the future, if you've encountered any difficulties that can't be solved, I'll know immediately through this maxim avatar."

Merlin knew that this maxim avatar was a precious gift. In the vast Void Zone, having Legend Zado's maxim avatar would indeed make him much safer. In case he encountered any danger, he could inform Legend Zado through this maxim avatar.

"Alright, I'll leave now. I hope the next time we meet, you've become a Great Wizard, haha!"

Legend Zado was very outspoken, completely unlike the Blackfire Lord. Merlin was also quite favorable toward Legend Zado. When he was swallowed into the Slothful Beast's belly, no matter if it was the Blackfire Lord or Legend Zado, they both had paid hefty prices.

"Wizard Merlin, where do we go now?"

Wizard Luce only spoke after the Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado had left.

Merlin turned around and felt some lingering fear after looking at the colossal Slothful Beast, and said, "We should get out of here as soon as possible and go to the Shkedu Dimension."

Thus, the two Wizards sat on the casting tool and flew toward the Shkedu Dimension."Phew…"

Finally, they had reached the Shkedu Dimension. The dimension had suffered a catastrophe. Although it had been several decades since, it still had not recovered.

However, as a prosperous trading dimension, the Shkedu Dimension was still very busy. The damage should be able to be completely recovered within a hundred years.

"Wizard Merlin, do you have any plans?"

Wizard Luce asked hesitatingly.

"Wizard Luce, we can be considered to have experienced life and death. After such an adventure, I think I should take my leave! I won't stay at the Shkedu Dimension for long. I'll probably leave soon."

Merlin had a plan from the start to find the Saitu Dimension. He had the coordinates to the Saitu Dimension, so if it was a masterless dimension, Merlin could seize the opportunity to control a dimension.

If he brought Wizard Luce along, although they had a close relationship, it would be very difficult to make a decision if benefits were involved. Therefore, it would be better to just go their separate ways in the Shkedu Dimension.

Wizard Luce also nodded. "After such an adventure, I've also gained a lot, so I plan to just settle down in the Shkedu Dimension, and start fusing Spell Models to become a Great Wizard! Wizard Merlin, come look for me when you come back to the Shkedu Dimension. We'll go on another adventure again!"

"I will, at that time, you'll be a powerful Great Wizard!"

The two Wizards laughed, and chatted for a long while before finally saying goodbye, and separating in the Shkedu Dimension, flying in different directions."Honorable Wizard, the Pavilion of Rarities…"

Before finishing her words, the beautiful female Wizard raised her head to look at the young Wizard's countenance and froze.

However, she quickly reacted, and hurriedly said, "Honorable Wizard Merlin, please wait a moment. I'll ask the Deputy Pavilion Master to receive you!"

The beautiful female Wizard obviously recognized Merlin. The cause of the large battle which shook the entire Shkedu Dimension was Merlin!

Legend Zado and the Great Blackfire Lord were both Merlin's teachers. How would the Pavilion of Rarities dare to neglect a Wizard with such an identity? Thus, when Merlin appeared, the Pavilion of Rarities could only get their Deputy Pavilion Master to welcome him.

"Haha, Wizard Merlin, welcome to the Pavilion of Rarities."

Before long, the Deputy Pavilion Master, the Great Wizard Leto, came to Merlin with a smile.

"Wizard Leto, we meet again!"

Merlin also smiled. Back then, it was Great Wizard Leto who had sent someone to Arcane City to inform Legend Zado. It was a great help to Merlin.

"Wizard Merlin, what treasures are you looking for this time in the Pavilion of Rarities?"

The Great Wizard Leto was naturally very cordial toward Merlin.

"It's simple. I want the Dispelling Water!"

"The Dispelling Water? Does Wizard Merlin wish to re-cultivate a Pandora Demon Ability? How many do you want?"

"Of course, I want six portions of Dispelling Water. Besides that, you should also have some top-level Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities here, right? After using the Dispelling Water, I naturally need to cultivate Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities. You can prepare all these."

Great Wizard Leto's eyes brightened after Merlin finished speaking. His heart was also excited. Six portions of Dispelling Water plus another six top-level Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, and some rare items for cultivating Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities.

When everything was prepared, it would be an unimaginably large deal. It might be the biggest business transaction since the founding of the Pavilion of Rarities!

"Wizard Merlin, let's go inside to talk about the details. These things aren't that easy to prepare."

Merlin also knew that this involved too much. Thus, he nodded his head, and followed Great Wizard Leto into a quiet room.

After the two had sat down, only the Great Wizard Leto and Merlin were left in the room. Great Wizard Leto smiled slightly before hesitating and carefully saying, "Wizard Merlin, six portions of Dispelling Water plus six Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, and the rare items isn't a small sum!"

Seeing Wizard Leto's tentative inquiry, Merlin also knew what he meant, so he calmly nodded and said, "Say it, how many elemental crystal stones are needed? Teacher Blackfire told me before that the Pavilion of Rarities is trustworthy!"

The Great Wizard Leto also knew that Merlin brought up the Blackfire Lord to make himself appear bigger. How would a Great Lord know about an insignificant Pavilion of Rarities? However, the Great Wizard Leto also knew that Merlin was trying to suppress others using force, so this offer could not be too outrageous.

After thinking for a moment, the Great Wizard Leto gritted his teeth and finally said, "Six portions of Dispelling Water originally cost ten million elemental crystal stones each but for Wizard Merlin, we'll make it seven point five million elemental crystal stones each. The total is forty-five million elemental crystal stones!"

Merlin did not react. He knew that the Pavilion of Rarities usually only gave a discount of up to two million elemental crystal stones, but now it was increased by another 500 thousand elemental crystal stones, which should be the limit. Thus, he nodded and motioned for the Great Wizard Leto to continue.

The Great Wizard Leto softly sighed in relief. Doing business with Wizards with strong backgrounds was not easy, and required a lot of pressure. Therefore, he also continued. "As for the six top-level Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities along with their rare items, the Pavilion of Rarities will offer a low price of fifteen million elemental crystal stones!"

Seeing the Great Wizard Leto gritted his teeth like that, Merlin knew that he must have made a great concession because he did not dare to offend the Great Lord behind Merlin.

Forty-five million elemental crystal stones plus fifteen million elemental crystal stones for a total of at least sixty million elemental crystal stones. This was a large number, and it would be difficult even for general Legends to be able to fork out.

Last time, Merlin dug out around ten million elemental crystal stones at the Satsuma Dimension. It was a lot less than sixty million elemental crystal stones.

"Great Wizard Leto, the price of sixty million elemental crystal stones is very reasonable, and I'm also very satisfied. However, I don't have that many elemental crystal stones!"

"Uh… Not enough elemental crystal stones?"

The Great Wizard Leto's expression changed slightly and his mouth could not help but start twitching. Then, he said in a trembling voice, "Wizard Merlin, it's okay. Just… Just take these as a gift from the Pavilion of Rarities to Wizard Merlin and the Blackfire Lord!"

Wizard Leto obviously saw Merlin as a Wizard who wanted to obtain the Dispelling Water by force, but he did not dare to deny him either. Perhaps an Honored Legend would still be slightly fearful toward the Pavilion of Rarities. After all, it was a huge force in the Shkedu Dimension, and faced the nine Honored Legends of the Shkedu Dimension.

However, this was a Great Lord! Never mind just taking some items, even if he was to forcefully destroy the Pavilion of Rarities, the nine Honored Legends would absolutely not dare to stick out for the Pavilion of Rarities.

However, even if it was the Pavilion of Rarities, sixty million elemental crystal stones worth of treasures was a big blow…

Merlin smiled. Although he wanted these things very much, he would not use those kinds of methods to obtain them. Thus, he said slowly, "Great Wizard Leto, I think you're mistaken. I don't have elemental crystal stones but I can exchange some casting tools for them!"

"Casting tools?"

Although the Great Wizard Leto was surprised, he did not refuse. What could one or two casting tools do? It was just for the sake of "looking good" in this exploitative deal.

Merlin naturally saw the Great Wizard Letos' insincerity but did not explain himself either. Instead, he took a pile of casting tools from his Spatial Ring, and dumped them on the ground.

"Great Wizard Leto, what do you think of these casting tools?"

The Great Wizard Leto's eyes widened as he stared dumbfounded at the pile of casting tools on the ground. His expression was also stunned.

"One, two, five, ten… Thirty-two!"

The Great Wizard Leto seemed slightly numb. Perhaps even if he gathered all the casting tools in the Pavilion of Rarities, there would not be as many casting tools. He could see that each of these casting tools was painstakingly made, and was meticulously refined by Legendary Great Alchemists.

"Is it enough? If it isn't, then there's more!"

Merlin pointed at the thirty-two casting tools on the ground, and said indifferently.

Chapter 584: Setting Out

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was no one outside the quiet room which was protected by a Runic Magic Circle. Right outside the room was the extremely powerful Pavilion of Rarities.

In the end, Merlin used twenty-eight casting tools in exchange for nearly sixty million worth of elemental crystal stones, thus obtaining the Dispelling Water and Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities he wanted.

For Merlin, there were many casting tools. It might be hard for Great Wizard Leto to imagine but for a good casting tool that required almost two million elemental crystal stones to obtain, Merlin could obtain with just one hundred elemental crystal stones in the Slothful Beast world.

Thus, Merlin did not lack casting tools at all. In the Slothful Beast world, no one knew how many Spell Casters had been devoured over such a long time. They occasionally carried one or two casting tools, so the amount accumulated over such a period was quite frightening.

After obtaining the Dispelling Water, Merlin asked the Great Wizard Leto to arrange a quiet room. The Great Wizard Leto might have also known that Merlin was going to use the Dispelling Water and re-cultivate his Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, so he specifically told others not to approach this room.

"The Dispelling Water! Let's see just how amazing it is."

Merlin flipped his hand, and a droplet of water that looked full of purity, limpid, and sparkling, appeared. He gently opened his mouth and sucked the liquid, directly consuming one Dispelling Water into his body.

After Merlin swallowed the Dispelling Water, it immediately began to have a reaction. Cool strands of life force appeared in Merlin's body, and he clearly felt the Fire-type Pandora Demon Ability in his body, Fiery Collapse, seemed to melt into the Dispelling Water. It started to gradually be defeated until it finally disappeared!

This process only took a few hours, and Fiery Collapse had disappeared. At least, that was according to Merlin's senses.

"Fire!"

Merlin held out his hand, and a flame gradually flashed in his hands. Although the flame emitted a terrifying temperature, its might was much lower than before.

"Fiery Collapse really was dispelled!"

Merlin stared at the flame, and did not see any trace of the Fusion Pandora Demon Ability. It showed that the Dispelling Water really could eliminate cultivated Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities.

Thus, Merlin quickly took the remaining five portions of Dispelling Water, and all the Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities in his body were soon eliminated. Only the two special Pandora Demon Abilities – Darkness Eye and Glacier Country could not be eliminated.

Darkness Eye and Glacier Country were special Pandora Demon Abilities, and did not belong to the category of Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities. Therefore, the Dispelling Water had no effect on them. What's more, Merlin could now rely on the sixth form of Darkness Eye.

As for Glacial Country, although it was also a special Pandora Demon Ability, Merlin had never been able to improve it. Perhaps it was because he did not have any talent in Ice-type Spells, so Glacial Country was currently not very useful for Merlin.

After all, special Pandora Demon Abilities were different than Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, and could not be cultivated by just by using some rare items. The requirements for quality was very high, and Merlin had always shown good qualities for Darkness-types. It was because of this reason that he could raise Darkness Eye to its fifth form, and forcefully improved it to its sixth form with the help of the Blackfire Lord.

After eliminating all the Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, Merlin looked at the six Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities in his hands. All six of these could be considered top Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, and all of them had three stages. Now that Merlin was a seventh-level Spell Caster, as long as he had enough rare items, he would definitely be able to greatly succeed in the cultivation.

Merlin's own strength would also be significantly improved as long as all these Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities were successfully cultivated. Therefore, Merlin stayed in the house for the next few days, and focused on cultivating the Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities."Tss."

A white flame that was almost transparent twined around Merlin's fingertip.

Almost half a year had passed. It took longer than Merlin had imagined cultivating the Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities. After all, they were all top Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, so even with rare items, it would still require a long time to cultivate.

"Not bad. It's much stronger than Fiery Collapse!"

Merlin could feel that the flame on his fingertip was indeed stronger than Fiery Collapse. The Pandora Demon Ability which he had obtained in the Glorious Land could not be said to be weak. It might have been a first-class Pandora Demon Ability.

However, the Spell Caster civilization was developing continuously, and it had several periods of explosive development.

The first stage was the birth of Spell Casters. At that time, Spell Casters started to actively construct Spell Models. Although the early stage was relatively difficult, it was truly an explosive period that quickly swept across the entire Glorious Land.

The second stage was the establishment of the Molta Empire, a nation entirely established by Spell Casters. The Spell Caster civilization also started to control the Molta Empire, and fought against the natural gods in the Glorious Land. It was during this period that Spell Casters rapidly developed, and finally exiled countless gods and completely controlled the Glorious Land.

The third stage was by far the longest and fastest developing stage of the Spell Caster civilization. It started three thousand years ago when Spell Casters walked into the Void Zone, and set foot in myriads of dimensions.

Since then, the Spell Caster civilization had entered an explosive phase where changes happened every day. The Spell Casters' civilization also expanded rapidly. One by one, ordinary Legends, Honored Legends, and Great Lords appeared.

Whether it was alchemy, runology or even constructing Spell Models, they all developed rapidly. Pandora Demon Abilities also developed orderly, and many new Pandora Demon Abilities could be created. Powerful Pandora Demon Abilities in the Glorious Land were nothing compared to the Void Zone after it had undergone development.

According to Merlin's rough calculation, the power of just this top Fire-type Fusion Pandora Demon Ability was at least thirty to fifty percent stronger than that of Fiery Collapse.

This was an extremely terrifying increase!

"Oh? It has succeeded?"

The flame on Merlin's hand was extinguished in an instant. Earlier, he felt that the final Thunder-type Fusion Pandora Demon Ability had been cultivated successfully. It took more than half a year but he had finally completed cultivating the six top Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities!

"Haha, I've finally succeeded. Sixty million elemental crystal stones, let's try out your power!"

Merlin's expression became solemn, and flames immediately appeared on his body. The flames condensed into a fireball as it floated in the air, and a Thunder-type, Wind-type, and Ice-type spell fused into the fireball.

The fireball in Merlin's hand had an extremely peculiar color. Although it was only the size of a fist, it contained frightening fluctuations.

"What's this power?"

Although Merlin knew that the power of the newly cultivated Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities would be improved, after fusing it into spells, the power would increase even more. After all, it was a combination of a perfect-grade spell and a top Pandora Demon Ability.

"Go!"

Merlin casually dropped the combined spell on the ground.

"Boom!"

The entire courtyard shook violently, and at the same time, a terrible shockwave spread in all the directions. Even the Runic Magic Circle surrounding the courtyard was torn to pieces in an instant.

"Rip."

The Runic Magic Circle was destroyed, and the entire Pavilion of Rarities quaked. Great Wizard Leto rushed to the rear court immediately.

"Wizard Merlin, what's this?"

The chaos in the rear court looked like it was caused by a great battle. Perhaps only peak Great Wizard could cause this level of destruction.

Seeing Great Wizard Leto's shocked expression, Merlin shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's nothing. I was just testing out a spell's power but didn't control it properly, which caused some damage to the Pavilion of Rarities. I'll definitely compensate you!"

Great Wizard Leto looked at Merlin with disbelief and incredulity. Previously, he only feared the Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado behind Merlin, and never cared much about Merlin himself.

However, now it seemed that Legend Zado and the Blackfire Lord's brilliance were simply too radiant, and covered up Merlin. To be able to become a disciple of a Great Lord, who was also a Potential Wizard in Arcane City, Merlin's own potential and qualification was terrifying.

"Wizard Merlin is joking. It's just a courtyard. I'll ask someone to clean it up immediately!"

Wizard Leto naturally would not ask Merlin for compensation. The Pavilion of Rarities already made quite a profit from the casting tools from before.

Merlin also nodded, and turned to another room.

Through the test earlier, Merlin became aware that the explosive power of four perfect-grade Seventh-level spells coupled with top Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities was comparable to a peak Great Wizard, similar to Darkness Eye.

There was still a very large difference between peak Great Wizards and top Great Wizards. Top Great Wizards were infinitesimally close to Great Legends, and each had their own incredible tricks. A regular Spell Caster would only be able to reach the level of a peak Great Wizard.

Therefore, whether it was Merlin's combined spells or Darkness Eye, it could only temporarily reach the level of a peak Great Wizard. Perhaps if Merlin had constructed an Eighth-level spell and combined it with a Five-Elemental spell, it would be able to reach the level of a top Great Wizard.

"Phew…"

Merlin let out a long breath and muttered, "I can only get this far for now. Next up, the Saitu Dimension!"

However, before leaving, Merlin took out the illusion bead, and released its restrictions. He could see the situation in the Saitu Dimension by using the illusion bead.

"Whoosh."

Merlin's Mind Projection entered the Illusory World, and materialized before Titus.

"Titus, go look outside. After such a long time, I'm afraid you don't know any of the changes happening outside."

Merlin calmly said.

"Outside?"

Titus gently closed his eyes, and extended his Mind Power to the illusion bead.

"This… This is outside the Slothful Beast world!"

Titus abruptly stood up. Although it was just a remnant of Mind Power, he could not hide his shock as he could feel the Elements through the illusion bead.

The long-lost Elemental power showed that they were now outside the Slothful Beast world!

Merlin quietly looked at Titus as he knew that the shock was too great. Titus had been in the Slothful Beast world for so long that even after he formed the Illusory World, he had no guarantee of leaving the Slothful Beast world.

Now, he had lost all hope. He had died, and only a trace of Mind Power was left but he had finally left the Slothful Beast world.

After a long moment, Titus' mood slowly calmed down.

"Wizard Merlin, although I don't know what method you've used to leave the Slothful Beast world, you really did it! I have a request I hope you'll agree to."

"Request?"

Merlin frowned.

"Yes, I've left my hometown for far too long. I thought I'd never leave the Slothful Beast world… However, it seems like I've returned to the Spell Caster civilization now. I implore Wizard Merlin to go to my hometown in the future so that I may gaze upon my hometown again."

It was a very simple request. Merlin nodded. He did not have any reason to refuse Titus.

"Alright, after I go to the Saitu Dimension, I'll go to your hometown to have a look when I have time!"

Merlin also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that everything was ready, he should leave for the Saitu Dimension.

"Let's go!"

Merlin said farewell to the Great Wizard Leto, and directly flew into the vast Void Zone. In the long journey in the Void Zone, Merlin was also more cautious now that Didimoss was not around. After all, there were dangers everywhere in the Void Zone.
