Chapter 617: Progenitor's Body!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin's eyes also narrowed slightly as he looked at the tall Progenitor's Body in the distance. The life force of the Progenitor's Body made by more than ten thousand Rock Creatures as well as two preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures violently rose to be comparable to the strongest Spell Casters below Legends.

This was a unique joint attack technique of the Rock Tribe. Generally, only a few in the Rock Tribe knew about it but now, more than ten thousand ordinary Rock Creatures knew as well. It seemed that this was something the Rock Tribe Ancestor prepared for the war with the Spell Caster civilization.

"Wizard Merlin, can Wizard Saturn deal with this big guy?"

Arrot looked at Wizard Saturn in front of the Progenitor's Body with worry. The grandiose life force released by the Progenitor's Body made everyone feel uneasy.

"Saturn is the strongest Wizard below Legend. As for the big guy in this group… Although its life force is comparable to those below Legend, there are too many holes, and many places can't harmonize. It'll be easy for Saturn to deal with the Progenitor's Body in front of him!"

Merlin replied with confidence.

The Progenitor's Body formed by ten thousand Rock Creatures plus two preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures could instantly burst with power comparable to those below Legend. This obviously showed the Rock Creatures' increase in strength.

However, it still could not rival the most powerful being under Legend!

A multicolored light appeared on Saturn's body, completely enveloping him, looking incomparably sacred. The multicolored light contained world-shaking power, and was Saturn's strongest power after combining Six-Elemental spells.

"Six-Elemental Storm, go!"

Saturn's long hair fluttered in the wind. With a loud roar, the multicolored light instantly turned into a shockwave and swelled wildly, almost enveloping the entire Tanloan City in it.

The Progenitor's Body was not to be undone. It raised a heavy arm and launched a punch toward Saturn. In the showdown between one big and one small, it was ten thousand Rock Creatures against Saturn alone.

"Boom!"

The earth-shattering force tore space to shreds, and formed pitch-black passages. Their destructive force had already caught up to Great Legends. After all, both were the strongest beings below Legend.

As the shockwave spread out and dissipated, and the air quietened down again, Saturn's eyes looked very calm. He did not have any intention of making another move, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile.

"Crack."

After a moment, small cracks started appearing on the giant Progenitor's Body. It started from the chest and rapidly spread to the rest of the body like a spiderweb. It was shocking and horrible to see.

"Bang."

Finally, the Progenitor's Body could no longer sustain itself and collapsed loudly. Countless Rock Creatures were reduced into tiny gravel that almost piled up into a hill.

As for the two preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures, their eyes were full of shock. "The strongest being under Legends… A Spell Caster from Arcane City. Amazing, truly amazing."

Then, the two preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures could no longer sustain themselves, and instantly shattered into countless pieces on the ground.

Mystic Squad, which had retreated far away long ago, were stunned by the pile of gravel on the ground as well as that imposing figure standing in the air.

"The strongest being under Legend. He's the strongest being under Legend… Haha, Arcane City. This is the true Potential Wizard in Arcane City! We'll no longer be in a disadvantage from now on."

There were three peak Great Wizards among the Spell Casters in Mystic Squad, so they naturally heard of Arcane City before. They only knew that all Potential Wizards in Arcane City were geniuses but no one had any specific knowledge of those "geniuses".

However, now, Saturn alone had killed more than twenty thousand Rock Creatures, and destroyed the firm Tanloan City. At this moment, the Wizards in Mystic Squad truly realized how frightening Saturn was, and how terrifying Saturn's team was.

The strongest existence below Legend was almost invincible as long as Legends did not intervene! In their situation, such power was enough to reverse their disadvantage in the front line battles.

At the very least, they would have a very large chance of reversing the situation in the Seely Dimension. They could completely expel the Rock Tribe from the Seely Dimension, and regain the Seely Dimension back into Spell Caster hands.

"Haha, Saturn, if not for you this time, we might really have been in trouble. I couldn't have dealt with that big guy earlier! Who would have thought that the Rock Tribe would disseminate the joint attack technique? Or perhaps I should say, who would have thought that all the Rock Creatures sent to the front line would have the joint attack technique? That battle would have been very troublesome."

Rael expressed his concern. In fact, the other Spell Casters also had this concern. The Rock Tribe must have done it, otherwise, the joint attack technique would never end in the hands of twenty thousand ordinary Rock Creatures.

Presently, there was only one explanation. In this war between the Rock Tribe and the Spell Caster civilization, they had been actively plotting and scheming. They had prepared for a very long time, and all their preparations were thorough.

The Rock Tribe only needed five Rock Creatures that could use the joint attack technique to form the Progenitor's Body. The stronger the Rock Creature's individual power, the stronger the Progenitor's Body that was formed. This increase would be large enough to rival Spell Caster' special and powerful Runic Magic Circles.

However, this kind of Runic Magic Circle was rare. It required certain attainments in Runology to be able to master it, and was far more complicated than the Rock Tribe's joint attack technique.

This was especially true for the joint attack technique in a powerful Rock Creature's hands. For example, a Progenitor's Body formed by a few preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures, and was led by a powerful being under Legend could burst with power comparable to Great Legends!

"Haha, Saturn, I'm afraid it'll be hard for our team to find an opponent in the Seely Dimension. Why don't we take advantage of this period to easily sweep the entire Seely Dimension, and completely occupy the Seely Dimension?"

Wizard Rael's eyes flashed as he said loudly.

"My thoughts exactly…"

Saturn glanced at Merlin and then laughed. "I didn't expect Wizard Merlin to have hidden his power so deeply, and cultivated Darkness Eye all the way to its sixth form. However, that's a good thing. Now, we have four peak Great Wizards. If Arrot can combine a Five-Elemental spell, he'll instantly become a peak Great Wizard! Our strength will be enough to sweep the entire Seely Dimension."

Merlin smiled but remained silent. In a cruel civilization war, it was always better to hide power than reveal it. Darkness Eye used to be considered as Merlin's strongest power. However, following his breakthrough in Mind Power, his Hallucinating Spells had also made great progress. In addition, his Spell Caster level had risen to the Ninth-level so Darkness Eye had become his weakest power instead.

Therefore, Merlin could continue to hide his strength by using Darkness Eye. There really was no force that could hinder Saturn in the Seely Dimension, so it was not necessary for Merlin to reveal his power.

"Sweep the entire Seely Dimension?"

Mystic Squad's eyes also revealed a pleasant surprise. Before they arrived at Tanloan City, they still did not believe Saturn's words. However, after personally seeing Saturn and the others' terrifying power, they no longer had any concerns.

"Wizard Saturn, let our Mystic Squad some along with you. Our understanding of the Seely Dimension is clearer than yours. We know of some powerful Rock Tribe strongholds."

Wizard Beyna from Mystic Squad pleaded earnestly.

"We also need your help. Otherwise, we don't know how many pointless trips we'll take in such a large Seely Dimension."

Saturn also did not refuse. With Mystic Squad leading the way, they could sweep all Rock Tribe strongholds in the Seely Dimension in the shortest time possible.

Thus, days passed one after another, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The Seely Dimension was huge, and the Rock Tribe had made thorough preparations. Therefore, even with the most conservative estimate, there were at least twenty strongholds in the Seely Dimension.

Each stronghold was extremely powerful or perhaps even stronger than Tanloan City. However, under Mystic Team's lead, Saturn and the others destroyed one stronghold almost every few days. So far, eleven strongholds had been annihilated.

These strongholds were very difficult to deal with. There were six preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures, and more than fifty thousand ordinary Rock Creatures. Perhaps because the news had been leaked out, the Rock Creatures in these strongholds had long been ready. They left Saturn and the others without the chance to launch a sneak attack hence they could only forcefully fight it head-on.

That battle had lasted for three days. Saturn had fought the Progenitor's Body formed by the Rock Creatures in that stronghold for more than two days before finally catching an opening, and completely defeating the Progenitor's Body.

That battle let Saturn and the others put away their contempt, and grow unusually careful. Even their speed had slowed a lot, they still went to weed out the Rock Tribe's strongholds one after another. In the Seely Dimension, most places had fallen into the hands of the Spell Casters.

Furthermore, because Saturn's Six-Elemental spell fusion formed multiple colors, the group Saturn had led began to be known as the Rainbow Squad. The name caused a huge sensation among the Rock Tribe and Spell Caster civilization in the Seely Dimension.

This was especially true for the Spell Caster civilization. After discovering that the Rainbow Squad were the first batch of Potential Wizards from Setoh Arcane City, the Spell Casters' morale soared, and they began to take the initiative to enter the Seely Dimension to press hard against the Rock Tribe.

It was unknown if it was because of the advantages of the Seely Dimension or due to the strength of the Potential Wizards from Arcane City, after they had arrived at the front line, the situation in dimensions in the front line except for the Seely Dimension all began to reverse. The Spell Casters switched from defending to attacking, and the general circumstances were all very good.

However, this was only the arrival of Potential Wizards from one of the Arcane Cities, Setoh Arcane City. There were still two great Arcane Cities that had not sent any Potential Wizards.

This directly showed that the legacy of Spell Caster civilization from three thousand years ago was also extraordinary to compare with the legacy of foreign tribes from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago.In a palace floating in the air, one of the great Rock Progenitors, praised at the first, and known as Progenitor Hanra, sat in the palace and watched the situation on the front line closely.

Soon, a tall Rock Creature wearing golden armor entered the palace respectfully. He knelt on the ground and shouted, "Great Progenitor, what are your orders?"

Seeing the golden-armored Rock Creature on the round, Progenitor Hanra slowly said, "Eli, how's your Progenitor Squad?"

"Honorable Progenitor, the Progenitor Squad has been successfully formed. It's led by me personally in addition to six preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures. Once the Progenitor's true body is formed, it can rival a true Ancestor-level!"

The golden-armored Rock Creature replied respectfully.

Progenitor Hanra's mouth revealed a smile as he nodded with satisfaction. "Good, we've prepared for such a long time so we mustn't fall short at the beginning! I have a mutual agreement with Setoh not to let Legends get involved, and let beings like you under Ancestor-level to try instead. If we can occupy or control the Seely Dimension, then even if the war expands in the future, it wouldn't matter as we'd certainly be able to have the advantage!

"Recently, the Spell Caster civilization had mobilized Potential Wizards from an Arcane City. Arcane City is known as a sacred place for the Spell Caster civilization. All the Spell Casters there are geniuses among geniuses. The leader of the Rainbow Squad who had appeared in the Seely Dimension should be similar to you. You're both the strongest beings under Ancestor-level. You can't deal with him alone. This time, take your Progenitor Squad with you to the Seely Dimension, kill the Rainbow Squad, and completely regain the initiative!"

The golden-armored Rock Creature fiercely raised his head and shouted, "Don't worry, Great Progenitor, my Progenitor Squad will annihilate the Rainbow Squad and regain control over the Seely Dimension!"

"Good, then go prepare. The quicker, the better!"

Progenitor Hanra waved his hand, and the golden-armored Rock Creature silently withdrew.

"Rainbow Squad? I'll make you a stepping stone for my Progenitor Squad's fame. The Progenitor Squad will make you, cowardly Spell Casters, tremble in fear…"

The golden-armored Rock Creature looked at the azure sky outside the palace, and a gleam of excitement flashed in his narrow eyes.

Chapter 618: Crisis I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Blackfire, it's been such a long time since my Setoh Arcane City disciples left for the front line but you haven't asked about your disciple Merlin at all."

In a resplendent palace, white-robed Arcane Wizard Setoh chatted like an old man with the Blackfire Lord about "daily family affairs".

"Meow, old fart, how's Merlin?"

As if it heard the word "Merlin", the black cat Didimoss immediately opened its eyes with excitement. Now, Didimoss had become a real fat cat. It was almost bigger than a dog, and looked quite amusing. However, from its size, it could be seen that Didimoss spent its days quite well. It had devoured some powerful foreign tribes.

Arcane Wizard Setoh did not care about the black cat's "disrespectful" address. Instead, he gently grabbed the black cat Didimoss, and stroke its smooth fur. He said slowly, "Didimoss, you haven't forgotten your old friend. Very good, your friend Wizard Merlin is very safe. He formed a very impressive team with Saturn and the others, and caused a storm in the Seely Dimension. They're almost reversing the situation in the Seely Dimension, and giving our Spell Casters the upper hand…"

Arcane Wizard Setoh spoke to both the black cat Didimoss as well as the Blackfire Lord.

"Hm? Hanra finally made his move. Blackfire, your disciple might be in trouble!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh seemed to have sensed something as his expression slowly darkened.

"Whoosh."

The Blackfire Lord whipped his head up and said, "The Rock Tribe is preparing for a decisive battle?"

"Decisive battle? No, they haven't prepared for that, and neither have we. Hanra will not be that hasty. However, Merlin's squad has caused too much disturbance in the Seely Dimension which resulted in a huge impact. Hanra won't let something like that go. Earlier, he had sent his secret squad, the Progenitor Squad, out of their hideout. They're heading toward the Seely Dimension."

"The Progenitor Squad? That's somewhat troubling. This team was specially set up by Hanra and has great strength. It's not something that any of our current squads can contend against. Why don't you send a Legend over? Since Hanra is so unscrupulous, we don't have to be courteous anymore."

A hint of anger seeped into the Blackfire Lord's tone.

"Let me go then, old fart. I'll eat up that whatever Progenitor Squad!"

The black cat Didimoss quickly perked up, and said "fiercely".

Arcane Wizard Setoh shook his head lightly and said, "Didimoss, you can't be exposed yet. While you're here, no one will know your existence but the moment you're exposed, I'm afraid that old coot Hanra will kill you at all costs. Your potential is limitless. I won't let you leave until there's something to protect you."

After a pause, Arcane Wizard Setoh continued. "Blackfire, the situation between the Rock Tribe and us is on the verge of exploding but Hanra is still holding back. We have no plans to involve Legends yet. Once they're involved, I'm afraid it'll really become a civilization war. At that time, it'll be beyond Hanra's and my control… That's why we can't send out Legends. Hanra has the Progenitor Squad but don't we have something as well?"

"Oh? Setoh, you've already prepared for this?"

The Blackfire Lord raised his head, his face expressing doubt. He had always been at the front line but he did not see any particularly powerful squad.

"Bolt, come in."

Arcane Wizard Setoh suddenly shouted at the door.

"Creak."

The huge palace doors opened, and a handsome and extremely young Spell Caster wearing pale blue Wizard robes walked in. However, there was a peculiar life force around him. Runes revolved around his body constantly.

"A preeminent Great Wizard? No, it should be the strongest being below Legend!"

The Blackfire Lord said with certainty after carefully sensing the mysterious Wizard.

"That's right. Bolt is a Six-Elemental Spell Caster. A few decades ago when I was overseeing the Seely Dimension, I found him and told him to look for some extremely gifted Spell Casters, especially those gifted in Runology. Thereafter, I spent a few decades devoting myself to the study of Runic Magic Circles. Finally, on the foundation of multilayer Runic Magic Circles, I've improved an even more powerful multilayer Runic Magic Circle and let Bolt and the others learn. Bolt, how is the Mille Squad's practice going?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh asked calmly.

The Blackfire Lord's eyes narrowed slightly, constantly looking at Bolt. An Ultimate Arcane Wizard seemed to be proficient in everything about Spell Casters. Even if Arcane Wizard Setoh was not an expert in Runology, if he had a few decades to specially study Runic Magic Circles, it would be very frightening as well.

It turns out that Arcane Wizard Setoh had already started making preparations decades ago.

Multilayer Runic Magic Circles itself could multiply a Spell Caster's power. However, a Spell Caster had to have extremely high attainments in Runology. If a Spell Caster did not profoundly study Runology, it was impossible to use a multilayer Runic Magic Circle.

The blue-robed Wizard Bolt respectfully answered, "Great Arcane Wizard Setoh, as per your instructions, I've found several Spell Casters with extremely high Runology attainments. They're all preeminent Great Wizards and have been practicing the multilayer Runic Magic Circle that you gave us for a long time. According to our previous demonstrations, with one strongest being below Legend, he just needs another four preeminent Great Wizards proficient in Runology to deploy a multilayer Runic Magic Circle, and release the power of a Great Legend!"

"Oh, only five Spell Casters are needed. Not bad, Bolt. Not bad at all. You've practiced for a long time. Now's the time for you to show your abilities."

Arcane Wizard Setoh's tone gradually became solemn.

However, Bolt became excited, and quickly said, "Please give us your instructions, Arcane Wizard Setoh!"

"The Rock Tribe has a Progenitor Squad that's currently heading toward the Seely Dimension for one of our powerful squads. Your task is to stop the Progenitor Squad. If condition permits, it's best to defeat the Progenitor Squad!"

"Please be rest assured, Arcane Wizard Setoh. We'll definitely do our best to stop the Progenitor Squad!"

Saying that, Bolt stood up excitedly, and quickly left the hall.

The Blackfire Lord looked at Bolt's leaving figure, and said thoughtfully, "If there were more Wizards like Bolt, we would've got the advantage even without Legends interfering."

"More? Blackfire, how many can you find in the entire Spell Caster civilization who are proficient in Runology and become a Great Wizard, particularly preeminent Great Wizards?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh also looked helpless. Runology involved a large amount of energy, and Spell Casters would generally focus their energy on constructing spells. Thus, there was no or little energy to study Runology.

Spell Casters like that were truly difficult to find. That was why even after looking for so long, only a few of such teams were formed. Bolt was the only one below Legend who was proficient in runes.In the dark and gloomy Void Zone, a special group of Rock Creatures silently flew into the Seely Dimension.

"Whoosh."

This special squad of Rock Creatures stood mid-air in the Seely Dimension.

"What a familiar feeling… This really isn't any different from our hometown. The Seely Dimension has already been transformed and should be a dimension belonging to our Rock Tribe. Those Spell Casters should all scram! Do you know our target, the Progenitor Squad?"

The Rock Creature taking the lead stared at the other six Rock Creatures with cold eyes.

"Captain Eli, we know. We're here to kill the Rainbow Squad."

Eli nodded. "Yes, it's that hateful Rainbow Squad. The Progenitor had sent us here with high hopes for us, so we mustn't fail. The Spell Casters would already know our situation. Our movements won't be hidden from them. However, I have a way to distract them. Each of you, take out a small piece of your Heart Core.

"Ah? Captain, the Heart Core is our foundation. Once damaged, it'll have a huge impact on us…"

Hearing Eli telling them to take out a piece of their Heart Core, the other six Rock Creatures turned pale, slightly unwilling.

"Hmph, take out a little of the Heart Core to transform them into us. That'll be enough to confuse those Spell Casters! Remember, this time, our task can only succeed. I cannot fail. What's losing just a little of your Heart Core? When we go back, we'll naturally get a reward. Our Heart Cores will soon be replenished!"

Saying that, Eli formed a pitch-black piece of rock the size of a fist, emitting intense life force. A black light flashed on his hand and gradually, the stone quickly melted, and began to take shape.

Before long, the cold stone became another "Eli". Even its life force was the same, making it impossible to distinguish between the two.

It was made from a Rock Creature's Heart Core, and was no different from the Rock Creature itself. The only difference was that Rock Creatures formed by such a little Heart Core was extremely weak.

Seeing that Captain Eli had already done it, the other six Rock Creatures could only grit their teeth, and take out a small portion of their Heart Cores, which then transformed to their appearance.

Before long, another "Progenitor Squad" appeared.

"Very good. Now, we'll go in two directions. The Heart Cores will make some noise to attract the Spell Caster squads. Hehe, we'll attack the Rainbow Squad first. If the other party still finds us, we'll fight a good fight with them but before that, we still have to ensure that we complete the task the Progenitor gave us!"

Captain Eli slightly narrowed his eyes, having full confidence in this plan.

Then, the two identical "Progenitor Squads" split into two directions and flew deeper into the Seely Dimension…

Another unfamiliar Spell Caster squad was soon welcomed in the Seely Dimension.

Ever since the Rainbow Squad had rapidly eliminated Rock Tribe strongholds in the Seely Dimension with irresistible force, more and more Spell Caster squads have entered the Seely Dimension. However, this squad seemed to be slightly different, only having five members. Nevertheless, the Elemental fluctuations on each of their bodies were very strong, and their bodies were protected by runes.

There were many squads that could use Runic Magic Circles but few Spell Casters could use it so skillfully to protect themselves constantly.

This squad was led by a young man in a pale blue Wizard robe, who had a confident look in his sharp eyes.

"Captain, the Progenitor Squad had arrived at the Seely Dimension before us. We should quickly find the Rainbow Squad. I believe the Progenitor Squad will definitely come, so that saves us the trouble of looking for them everywhere."

A beautiful female Wizard said coldly. She was also the only female Wizard among the five Spell Casters.

"That's true but it'll cause too much delay. Besides saving the Rainbow Squad, we also have to defeat the Progenitor Squad."

This squad was the Mille Squad led by Wizard Bolt was sent by Arcane Wizard Setoh. The five were all proficient in Runology, and were also preeminent Great Wizards.

"What then? We don't know the whereabouts of the Progenitor Squad… Oh, wait, there seems to be something."

The beautiful female Wizard was suddenly startled, and waved her hand. A mirror emerged, covered in numerous runes.

"Whoosh."

When the female Wizard poured her Magic Power into the "mirror", a dazzling white light flashed, and several figures vaguely appeared inside. It seemed to be a Rock Creature squad.

"Wizard Bolt, I just felt a very intense Rock Creature life force. It's very strong, far exceeding regular Rock Creature squads. One of the life forces seems to be similar to yours, both strongest existences below Legends. I'm afraid that's the Progenitor Squad!"

The female Wizard said solemnly.

"The Progenitor Squad? Would they really release their life force with such fanfare? Is it a problem?"

Another Spell Caster also raised an objection. The Progenitor Squad is here to deal with the Rainbow Squad. According to common sense, they won't be this aggressive but would hide their life force, and act quietly instead.

Bolt hesitated for a moment before a smile slowly appeared on his lips. "The Progenitor Squad believes that they have Ancestor-level power. They think there's no one in the Seely Dimension who can contend with them, and so it doesn't matter if they show off so ostentatiously. Alright, there's no need to argue anymore. Whether or not they're scheming, won't everything be clear as soon as we find the Progenitor Squad?"

Bolt also had absolute confidence in the Mille Squad's power. No matter what scheme there was, they would crush it with absolute strength.

"Find out where they are. We'll set off immediately!"

Bolt had made a decision, so the Mille Squad quickly sensed the position of the Progenitor Squad, and quickly chased after them."We've removed so many strongholds along the way. Look, this stronghold is empty. The Rock Creatures have already withdrawn."

Arrot pointed at a small city in front of him. Inside, he could still see traces of the Rock Creatures living here but now it was deserted, and all the Rock Creatures had moved away.

This was also the influence caused by Saturn's "Rainbow Squad". Some Rock Creatures felt that they could not resist, so they simply withdrew first. This was also a good thing as it saved them some time.

"There are still several strongholds ahead, all of which have been removed. The entire Seely Dimension is in our hands. I hope they'll all leave quickly."

Saturn smiled. It had been a long time since they had arrived in the Seely Dimension. At first, they were nameless and unknown, but now, their fame alone was enough to make the Rock Creatures voluntarily withdraw from their strongholds. They had achieved their goals.

"There should still be some strongholds ahead but I feel that something's off. We should be careful!"

Arrot said cautiously.

"Yes, I feel the same. The Rock Tribe can't be indifferent to how aggressive we are in removing their strongholds in the Seely Dimension. However, so far, no powerful Rock Creatures have appeared, and they even voluntarily withdrew from their strongholds. There's something off indeed."

Wizard Vic and the others also nodded, feeling that there was something wrong recently.

Saturn was not blind either. He knew that there definitely was a being comparable to him in the Rock Tribe, so he nodded and said, "Since everyone thinks there's a problem, then be careful. It'll be best if…"

Before he had finished speaking, Saturn suddenly stopped, his eyes staring intently at the small city which was still empty moments earlier.

In the small city, seven strange Rock Creatures slowly emerged. The golden-armored Rock Creature in the lead even looked at Saturn, and smiled relaxedly. "You're finally here. We've been waiting for you for a few days now…"

"Rock Creatures!"

Saturn and the others immediately became on alert."Found them. The Progenitor Squad is just ahead!"

The beautiful female Wizard of the Mille Squad was pleased. They had been chasing after the Progenitor Squad for several days, and had finally caught up to it.

"Whoosh."

Bolt took the lead and flew over. In the air, he saw the Progenitor Squad in front of him, and laughed loudly. "Haha, Progenitor Squad, come. Let's see just how strong your joint attack technique is. Arrange the Runic Magic Circle!"

With Bolt's shout, dense runes immediately flew out from the four other Spell Casters' bodies. It shrouded the five Wizards with Bolt in the middle of the Runic Magic Circle.

Suddenly, a humanoid figure gradually appeared behind Bolt. This was the power of those five Wizards seemingly overlapping on Bolt's body, causing him to burst with a power that was comparable to a Great Legend.

"Very good. What a powerful feeling!"

Bolt raised a finger, and a flame slowly grew larger, instantly engulfing half the sky like a firestorm, surrounding the Progenitor Squad like a raging inferno.

"Crack."

To the surprise of the Spell Casters of the Mille Squad, the Progenitor Squad they regarded as powerful enemies were easily trapped and burned to ashes. Their life force rapidly weakened, and finally even disappeared.

"They're dead?"

Everyone looked at each other, some even in disbelief.

"Whoosh."

Bolt stopped the spell but his expression changed when he saw the charred and scattered pieces of rock on the ground.

"Oh no, we were fooled. These are Rock Creatures' Heart Cores! D*mn it, they must've gone to kill the Rainbow Squad. Hurry, we must rush to the Rainbow Squad as soon as possible!"

The Spell Casters of the Mille Squad immediately realized that they had been fooled. They were made into fools by the Progenitor Squad using their Heart Cores. In their confrontation, the Mille Squad had already lost once.

"Please be alright. The Rainbow Squad has a Wizard who's strongest under Legend. You must hold on for a moment longer…"

Bolt deeply blamed himself in his heart. He could only hope that the Rainbow Squad could hold on for a moment. Otherwise, his task of saving the Rainbow Squad would fail.

As if they all thought about the consequences of failing their mission, the Mille Squad Spell Casters frantically flew in the opposite direction."Oh? Captain, the Heart Cores have been destroyed. We should hurry."

The Rock Creatures in the Progenitor Squad were aware that their Heart Cores had been destroyed. They all knew that at that very moment, there was a powerful Spell Caster team rushing here after realizing that they had been fooled. The Rock Creatures' time was running out.

"They only realized they were fooled now? It doesn't matter. We have time. Let's go!"

The Progenitor Squad Rock Creatures let out roars one after another. Their bodies emitted dim light, and they started to slowly merge together, gradually forming a colossal Progenitor's Body.

However, the Progenitor's Body this time was much more powerful than any other Progenitor's Bodies Saturn and the others had seen so far.

"Legend! We're in trouble…"

Saturn muttered in a low voice, feeling that this Progenitor's Body was unusual. An uncertain expression appeared on his face for the first time.

"Quick, quick. We must hurry!"

Sitting in a fast traveling flying ship, Bolt was still anxious. He did not expect that they would be fooled by the Progenitor Squad. The consequences were disastrous, and were likely to lead to the Rainbow Squad's complete annihilation!

The Rainbow Squad was not what it used to be. They were no longer unknown but possessed a huge influence in the Seely Dimension or even the entire front line. They were crucial to the Spell Caster civilization in regaining the flow in the front line.

The Rainbow Squad's downfall would be a great psychological blow to all Spell Caster squads in the front line. Furthermore, they would have to bear the wrath of the Great Arcane Wizards.

"No, we have to report to the Arcane Wizards."

Seeing how they were still a distance away from the Rainbow Squad, Bolt guessed that the Rainbow Squad was now in jeopardy. At this time, he had to report the situation to the Arcane Wizards as soon as possible.

Thus, Bolt took out a communication tool given by the Arcane Wizards, and gently input his Magic Power. Before long, Arcane Wizard Setoh's apparition appeared in front of Bolt."

"Bolt, how is it?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh asked calmly.

Bolt knelt on one knee on the ground, and said solemnly, "Great Arcane Wizard Setoh, we fell into the Progenitor Squad's trap. They used their Heart Cores to form a squad to lure us away. By this time, they should have already intercepted the Rainbow Squad!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's face turned grave. Then, the apparition collapsed without saying a word.

However, this made the Mille Squad even more nervous. A trace of frenzy appeared on Bolt's face and he shouted, "Quick, I don't care what it takes. We have to reach the Rainbow Squad!"

In the resplendent and magnificent palace, Arcane Wizard Setoh's face was grim. He looked at the Blackfire Lord, and seemed to hesitate.

"Setoh, what happened?"

The Blackfire Lord asked slowly. Only the Blackfire Lord could speak this way to Setoh. They were both disciples from the same teacher, growing older and stronger together. It was just that the Blackfire Lord was much more inferior than Setoh, so he could not reach Arcane!

Arcane Wizard Setoh said lowly, "There's some trouble. Bolt's squad was fooled by the Progenitor Squad. Currently, I'm afraid the Progenitor Squad has already obstructed the Rainbow Squad."

"What?"

A terrifying force flashed on the Blackfire Lord's body. Then, he clenched his fists tightly, unable to flare up.

"Meow."

The black cat Didimoss also woke up and hurriedly said, "Old fart, you need to save Merlin!"

To Didimoss, the deaths of anyone else in the Rainbow Squad had nothing to do with it, but Merlin could not die.

Arcane Wizard Setoh hesitated for a long moment. Although the Rainbow Squad had a place in his mind, it could not compare to Merlin, who was related to both the black cat Didimoss as well as the Blackfire Lord.

After consideration, Arcane Wizard Setoh said gravely, "I'll go take a look. If there's danger, I'll help them in secret."

Then, Arcane Wizard Setoh's huge consciousness directly enveloped the entire Seely Dimension.

However, just as Arcane Wizard Setoh was looking for the Rainbow Squad in the Seely Dimension, he encountered another large consciousness.

"Haha, Setoh, are you preparing to act personally so quickly? If either of us acts, tens or even hundreds of these dimensions won't be able to handle it."

This consciousness was Progenitor Hanra, who was guarding the Rock Creatures on the front line. He was a powerful being comparable to Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

"Hanra! Are you trying to stop me?"

"Of course, I am. Just let those children fight it out for now. We won't join in. If you interfere, then I won't be polite anymore!"

Two beings the level of Arcane Wizards opposed each other equally, their consciousnesses confronting each other virtually in the Seely Dimension. Even if it was just their consciousnesses, it could still stir up a terrifying storm in the Seely Dimension.

If it lasted for a long time, then even the Seely Dimension would be destroyed!

This was the horror of Ultimate Arcane Wizards. The moment they start, tens or even hundreds of dimensions would easily be destroyed. Therefore, as long as a civilization war had not reached the final juncture, Arcane Wizards would never act because once they did, both sides would definitely suffer. It would be more harm than good.

"Hmph!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh ignored Progenitor Hanra but the other party's consciousness continued to follow him around, constantly interfering with Arcane Wizard Setoh. Arcane Wizard Setoh was also quite fearful.

After all, even during the most intense civilization wars, Arcane Wizards had never taken part in them. They would not act until civilizations were completely destroyed. Once they took part, it did not matter how many Legends or Spell Casters there were as they would all be useless.

There were once two large foreign civilizations that started a civilization war. Although one of the civilizations only had a single being comparable to an Arcane Wizard while the other had four. In the end, the civilization that had four beings like Arcane Wizard did not spare even a single dimension. Three Arcane Wizards were even heavily injured, and from then on, that powerful civilization was thoroughly weakened.

When Arcane Wizards went all out, it would be extremely terrifying. That was why Arcane Wizards would never interfere in battles unless absolutely necessary.

Arcane Wizard Setoh had some fears, and did not dare to interfere. However, he very quickly found the Rainbow Squad, and as expected, they had already encountered the Progenitor Squad. The situation was critical.

"I found the Rainbow Squad but the Rock Tribe's Progenitor Hanra keeps following me. I can't interfere, otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable. Take a look."

Arcane Wizard Setoh waved his hand, and an image appeared in the air. It showed the situation between the Rainbow Squad and the Progenitor Squad.

"Merlin. It's Merlin!"

The black cat Didimoss could not help but cry out loudly. However, it was only a projection, and they were too far apart. Merlin could not hear the black cat Didimoss' call anyway.

"All we can do now is wait. I'll urge the Mille Squad to rush over with any means possible. I hope the Rainbow Squad can hang in there."

Arcane Wizard Setoh also said helplessly. He could not risk starting a war with Progenitor Hanra for Merlin alone or even for the entire Rainbow Squad.Saturn's body emitted multicolored light as the Elemental fluctuation reached its pinnacle. It was obvious that Saturn was going all out.

However, that Progenitor's Body's humongous palm was like a dark cloud. Without any techniques, it viciously slammed down.

"Bang."

Saturn's multicolored spell contained terrifying power but under this palm, it could not exert any strength at all or possibly, it was easily resisted by the Progenitor's Body's hand.

Furthermore, it directly slapped Saturn away, and the defenses that covered every inch of his body was shattered. He suffered a serious injury immediately.

"How… How could this be?"

Rael and the others glanced at each other. They thoroughly knew Saturn's strength. He was the strongest being below Legends. They had encountered many Progenitor's Bodies in the past but even if the battle was difficult, it always ended up with his victory. Besides a Legend, who could beat Saturn so easily and severely?

"A Legend. This is a Progenitor's Body comparable to a Legend!"

Saturn stood up again. Although he was heavily wounded, to Spell Casters, as long as the Spell Models inside their bodies did not crumble, it would not be serious.

"Comparable to a Legend? How are we supposed to resist?"

At this moment, the Rainbow Squad that was proceeding favorably seemed to encounter a dilemma.

Run? Looking at that terrifying Progenitor's Body, no one would believe that they would be able to escape. Their only option was to stand and fight.

"The Progenitor's Body isn't truly a Legend. They were assembled, so there must be a weakness."

Saturn glared at the huge Progenitor's Body. He knew clearly that there had to be a weakness, and it was impossible for it to truly match a Great Legend. However, even if there was a weakness, it was not something they could deal with.

They had to stand and fight. Perhaps besides him, everyone else would end up dying. Even he might not be able to hold on for long.

"Puny Spell Casters. What will you do in the face of death? We're all very interested, haha…"

The large voice boomed in their ears.

At the same time, the Progenitor's Body's hands clenched, and the entire land seemed to tremble. The Progenitor's Body was comparable to an Ancestor-level Rock Creature, and an Ancestor-level Rock Creature could mobilize rock ley lines to a certain extent.

This was also something unique to Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. Battling with Ancestor-level Rock Creatures in a dimension that had been transformed, even Great Legends would be greatly disadvantaged.

"Rumble."

The earth shook, and the rock ley lines mobilized, transforming into Giants, surrounding the Rainbow Squad and the Progenitor Squad. They used the entire ley line to trap the Rainbow Squad.

"We can't run even if we want to now… They've cut off all our escape routes. In that case, we can only do one thing. Fight!"

Trying to break the ley line blockade would not take a short amount of time. The Rainbow Squad had been completely surrounded, and was now turtles in a jar.

The huge Progenitor's Body raised its hands, which whistled as it slammed down. That terrifying momentum fell from the air, causing people to feel suffocated.

Everyone felt despair. Before such absolute power, what was the point of determination?

"Rael, we're both preeminent Great Wizards. Only if both our Models explode, perhaps we'll be able to harm the Progenitor's Body!"

Saturn became calm, and looked at Rael.

Rael shivered but seeing the frightening palm in the air, he smiled serenely and said, "Saturn, when both of us came to the front line, weren't we already prepared to die?"

"Hum hum."

Saturn and Rael grinned at each other. Immediately, intense Elemental fluctuations appeared on their bodies, and a heart-like multicolored Model emerged.

This was the foundation of all Great Wizards. When Spell Models were combined, it would form a multicolored Model, also known as Wizard Heart!

"Wizard Heart!"

The three peak Great Wizards – Vic, Seddon, and Olga glanced at each other, a resolute expression revealing on their faces.

"Hum hum hum."

Then, the figure of their Wizard Heart also appeared, shining together with Wizards Saturn and Rael's Wizard Heart. However, they could tell that their Wizard Heart was indeed slightly inferior to Saturn and Rael's Wizard Heart.

The more Spell Models and the more perfect a Great Wizard's spell was, the more powerful the fused Wizard Heart would be. As Saturn was a Six-Elemental Spell Caster, all his Spell Models were excellent-grade and above hence he could become the strongest being below Legend.

At this time, the five Great Wizards all used their Wizard Heart. Hidden under the beautiful multicolored light was unparalleled determination.

"Haha, if we're going up against these big guys, how can we, the Mystic Squad, just stand back and watch?"

Under Wizard Beyna's lead, the three peak Great Wizards of the Mystic Squad flew over, and also revealed their Wizard Heart.

The Wizard Heart was the foundation of a Great Wizard. Normally, it must never be damaged, otherwise, it would damage their foundation. They would never be able to become a Great Wizard, much less explode a Wizard Heart.

Once a Wizard Heart exploded, those Great Wizards would instantly be reduced to ashes from the shockwave.

They were using their lives to go against this Progenitor's Body!

As the Progenitor's Body's colossal palm grew larger, Saturn and the others' Wizard Heart also reached its critical point. They would completely explode at any moment.

None of them knew about the two great consciousnesses that were watching their every move.

"Setoh, those kids have guts. It's too bad that they're not quite strong enough. Only death awaits them!"

In the darkness, Progenitor Hanra's tone was very calm.

Arcane Wizard Setoh remained silent, his expression grim. Saturn and the others were on the brink of crisis. Even if they had exploded their Wizard Heart, it would be unable to defeat the Progenitor's Body, unless a true Great Legend descended!

"Three thousand years… There's a reason why the Spell Caster civilization only needed three thousand years to become the strongest civilization in the Void Zone. Now, I finally know the reason!"

Merlin suddenly shouted. Beside him, Arrot seemed to be trying his hardest to resist the pressure the Progenitor's Body brought. Against that terrifying pressure, Spell Casters below Great would find it difficult to even move.

"Illusion!"

With just a soft breath, everyone's movements froze. At that moment, it seemed as though time itself had stopped.

Merlin stepped forward, and slowly walked toward Saturn and the others as if there was a flight of stairs beneath his feet. He looked at the huge Progenitor's Body, and he could seemingly see the struggle in those Rock Creatures' eyes.

However, it was completely useless. Merlin did not even use the Illusory World. His third-stage Hallucinating spell was more than enough. After all, the Progenitor's Body was assembled and was not a true Ancestor-level Rock Creature. Merlin's Hallucinating spell targeted all the members of the Progenitor Squad. Even the strongest beings below Legends were unable to resist Merlin's third-stage Hallucinating spell.

Everyone here had fallen into Merlin's Hallucinating spell. Saturn, Rael, and the others' Wizard Heart also gradually disappeared.

Then, a flame appeared in Merlin's hand, followed by wind, thunder, and ice. Four types of spells combined.

"Go!"

Merlin's eyes were ice-cold. With a point of his finger, the combined spell instantly flew toward the huge Progenitor's Body. The only ones that were not controlled were the two powerful consciousnesses in the void. Not even Merlin was aware of their existence.

However, Progenitor Hanra's current expression was also grave. He naturally saw at a glance Merlin's huge Mind Power and the terror of his combined spell. Once it hit the Progenitor's Body, the entire Progenitor Squad might be completely massacred.

Progenitor Hanra even thought about interfering but Arcane Wizard Setoh hindered him constantly, impeding Progenitor Hanra.

"Hanra, like you said, just let them fight it out. If you interfere, then tens or even hundreds of dimensions would be completely annihilated!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh was also overjoyed. Even he did not see that the Rainbow Squad's true terror was Merlin, who had such a terrifying Hallucinating spell. Perhaps among all the Mind Power Masters in the Spell Caster civilization, there was no one who surpassed Merlin.

"Merlin… I forgot that he was a Mind Power Master. He even reached such a frightening point. I've researched the Mind Power system for a while, and I know that its potential is endless but it's extremely challenging. Even I can't calculate a Mind Power system that can compare to Legends."

Arcane Wizard Setoh also grew interested in Merlin. Previously, he kept an eye out for Merlin because of Merlin's relationship with the black cat Didimoss and the Blackfire Lord. However, now, Merlin's power was enough to make Setoh greatly value him.

Especially in the current war with the Rock Tribe where no Legends were interfering, Merlin surpassing Saturn, and almost being comparable to a Great Legend was even more important than multiple Legends!

Although Arcane Wizard Setoh was amazed, he was not shocked. What he was truly shocked at was the Blackfire Lord. He stared intently at Merlin, watching the Progenitor Squad and Saturn and the rest remain frozen like statues, and seeing Merlin act himself. The Blackfire Lord knew that Merlin had used the power of a Mind Power Master.

"You did it, Merlin. You finally did it. You're so close to perfecting the Mind Power system… The current you are only one step away from breaking through into Legend!"

The Blackfire Lord himself was also a Mind Power Master but according to Titus' Mind Power system, his Hallucinating spell was only in its second-stage while Merlin's Hallucinating spell was in the third stage. The next step was the Illusory Heart, which was what the Blackfire Lord and other Mind Power Masters constantly chased after in order to break through past Legends.

However, after receiving Titus' Mind Power system, Merlin realized that breaking a Great Legend's shackles did not mean the Mind Power system was perfected. It was still very far off.

The Illusory Heart was only breaking the Great Wizard's shackles. With the state of Merlin's current Illusory Heart, he indeed was just one step away.

"Boom."

In the Seely Dimension, Merlin did not move at all. The combined spell viciously exploded, and the violent shockwave drowned the entire Progenitor's Body.

Merlin's Ninth-level spell, in addition to a Four-Elemental combined spell, could already harm ordinary Legends. Furthermore, the other party was just an assembled Legend body, only comparable to a Great Legend.

Therefore, under Merlin's combined spell attack, the Progenitor's Body was instantly defeated, and was reduced to gravel, falling onto the ground.

"Hmph!"

In the air, a cold scoff suddenly sounded. Merlin startled, and whipped his head around, looking at his surroundings. However, he did not find anything.

It was just a cold scoff but it let Merlin feel that he was unable to contend against it.

"Haha, Hanra, is a high and lofty Rock Tribe Progenitor really playing these petty tricks?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh guffawed. The entire Seely Dimension could hear the noise.

"Arcane Wizard Setoh?"

Merlin immediately recognized who the voice belonged to. It was the master of Setoh Arcane City, one of the three great Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization, Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"Haha, Merlin, well done. Your teacher, the Blackfire Lord, and Didimoss have been watching you but it's not convenient to tell you the details now. That was Progenitor Hanra earlier. His Progenitor Squad was defeated by you, so he naturally grew enraged, haha! Don't worry though, he has already left."

Arcane Wizard Setoh's voice continued to sound beside Merlin's ear. However, this time, it seemed only Merlin could hear his voice. It was clear that Arcane Wizard Setoh did not want others to know.

Then, Arcane Wizard Setoh also left. Merlin looked at the sky, and saw that there was still no disparity. He knew that it was because his distance from Arcane Wizard Setoh was still too large. He could not even chase after his footsteps.

Saturn and the others were still trapped in the illusion, and Merlin waved a hand to break the Hallucinating spell. Immediately, everyone returned to their senses. Besides Saturn, everyone else had confused looks on their faces, not knowing what had happened earlier.

Only Saturn, who was a powerful being under Legend, and was the closest to a Great Legend, could occasionally perceive the movements of the outside world even while in the Hallucinating spell.

Earlier, he saw Merlin cast Hallucinating spell. He also saw Merlin use the combined spell to defeat the Progenitor's Body. For a moment, he looked at Merlin with a complicated gaze.

"Merlin, I've always thought that since I became a preeminent Great Wizard, I would be able to leave you behind me. Who would've thought that I'm still behind you…"

Saturn smiled bitterly.

Merlin also smiled, not knowing how to console Saturn. He knew that Saturn was extremely proud. Ever since he entered Arcane City back then, and discovered that Merlin was also a Six-Elemental Spell Caster, Saturn had secretly competed himself with Merlin.

Even after so many years have passed, those thoughts did not diminish at all. However, besides being proud and arrogant, Saturn did not have any other flaws. He prepared to explode his Wizard Heart with no hesitation when facing against the Progenitor's Body, letting Merlin feel deep admiration for him. With this kind of courage and conviction, as long as he did not die in the future, he would definitely become a Great Legend!

Hearing Saturn and Merlin's conversation, even if they were slow on the uptake, Rael and the others had already guessed what happened. When they looked at Merlin, their eyes flashed with a shock that was hard to conceal.

"Whoosh."

Suddenly, a huge flying ship flew over from the distance. This flying ship was broken beyond recognition, and the runes on it were dull and lightless. It was clearly overworked, and could no longer be used.

Five powerful Spell Casters jumped out of the flying ship. Taking the lead was a young Wizard not inferior to Saturn. They were the Mille Squad that had rushed over by pulling all the stops. For that goal, they had completely spent a good casting tool.

The young Wizard Bolt carefully observed Saturn, and the others before finally sighing in relief. "Thank goodness. You're very lucky the Progenitor Squad hasn't found you yet. We weren't too late."

When Bolt finished speaking, he saw a strange look appeared on the expressions of the Rainbow Squad's Spell Casters.

Chapter 622: Summon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"The Progenitor Squad? I'm afraid you're too late. That pile on the ground is the Progenitor Squad that you're looking for…"

Rael was in a good mood as he pointed at the pile of shattered rocks.

Bolt and the others glanced over and felt that familiar life force. It was the same life force as the "Heart Core" Squad they had chased after earlier.

"Bolt!"

Suddenly, a strict voice sounded by Bolt's ear.

"Great Arcane Wizard, please give us your instructions!"

Bolt immediately knew who the voice belonged to. His expression became respectful.

"The Progenitor Squad has been defeated by Merlin. Your current task now is to sweep through the remaining Rock Tribe strongholds in the Seely Dimension together with the Rainbow Squad, and completely control the Seely Dimension."

"Please be rest assured, Great Arcane Wizard. We'll definitely control the Seely Dimension."

After listening to Arcane Wizard Setoh's message, Bolt looked at the Rainbow Squad with a complicated expression before his eyes finally landed on Merlin. He was able to single-handedly defeat the Progenitor Squad. He was no longer someone as simple as the strongest Wizard below Legend but he was above all Spell Casters below Legend. He was a terrifying genius who was comparable to a Great Legend!

The Rainbow Squad and the Mille Squad did not encounter any more trouble and smoothly occupied the entire Seely Dimension. The Rock Creatures in the front line seemed to be pulling back completely. One by one, they withdrew from their strongholds, and only a few extremely powerful strongholds remained. Spell Casters would not be able to breach them in a short amount of time.

Both sides seemed to be building up strength, and the Seely Dimension that the front line revolved around began to quieten down. However, everyone knew that there was an undercurrent behind that peace, and it was just the calm before the storm!"Wizard Merlin, the great Wizard Setoh has asked for you!"

Bolt, from the Mille Squad, conveyed Wizard Setoh's invitation to Merlin.

At this moment, Merlin was still a member of the Rainbow Squad. However, they had left the Seely Dimension, and were back at the Alabaster Dimension behind the Seely Dimension.

"Wizard Merlin, don't worry about us. We can also prepare during this period. I'm afraid this war has just begun."

Saturn was not very optimistic. The Spell Casters only held a slight upper hand now. The cruelty of a civilization war had not been reflected yet.

During this period of calm, there were indeed many Spell Casters who chose to recuperate at the Alabaster Dimension in order to prepare for a more brutal battle.

Merlin nodded. "Alright, then you guys get ready."

Then, Merlin followed behind Bolt, and quickly flew to the skies in the Alabaster Dimension. In an independent space among the clouds stood a towering castle.

"This is Setoh Castle! Wizard Merlin, Setoh Castle isn't accessible to just anyone. Many Honored Legends haven't even step foot here before. You're very lucky! Hurry inside. Wizard Setoh is only allowing you in."

Bolt then turned to leave. Although he was a genius Spell Caster favored by Wizard Setoh, in the absence of a specialized summon, he did not have the qualifications to enter Setoh Castle.

Merlin looked at Setoh Castle which floated in an individual space that even the Alabaster Dimension could not repair. He could even see some storms sweeping in the space, which showed that the space was not very calm. However, it did not shake up Setoh Castle at all.

Merlin did not delve deeply into the matter. The means of Arcane Wizards were far beyond his comprehension, so he simply walked toward the castle step by step.

"Whoosh."

Merlin felt his consciousness grow blurry, and there was a feeling akin to entering a Runic Magic Circle. By the time he opened his eyes, he had found himself in a magnificent hall.

However, the hall was completely empty. There was nothing at all.

"Great Arcane Wizard Setoh?"

In the vast hall, only the echo of Merlin's voice could be heard. There was no sign of anyone else.

"Wizard Setoh told me to come here, so how can he be missing?"

Merlin frowned, unable to think of any other reasons.

"Meow."

Suddenly, a flash of black pounced on Merlin. Merlin also felt the familiar life force, and a smile spread across his face. He blurted out, "Didimoss?"

"Haha, Merlin, you're quite lucky. So, you didn't die? Come, come, come. Let me see. You were really in the limelight in this period of time!"

The voice was very familiar, and the life force belonged to the black cat Didimoss but Merlin's eyes widened as he looked at the black cat the size of a large dog. Was this the Didimoss that used to climb on Merlin's shoulder before?

In the past, Didimoss was just a little chubby, and was a fat cat only in name. However, now, the black cat Didimoss was not only fat but very large as well, just like a big dog. It was also Merlin's first time seeing such a large "cat".

As if sensing the doubts in Merlin's heart, the black cat Didimoss shook its head and explained, "Merlin, that old fart Setoh doesn't treat me bad. Every once in a while, there'll be some powerful foreign tribes for me to eat. Hehe, right now, even ten of you won't be able to match me!"

Indeed, Merlin felt that the current black cat Didimoss was somewhat usual, and there was faint oppression from its body. Although the Didimoss in the past was comparable to a Great Legend, there was no such oppressive feeling. It seemed that during this period of time, the black cat Didimoss indeed made a lot of progress.

"Oh, right. Why did you come here, Merlin?"

The black cat Didimoss asked curiously.

"Ah? Wasn't it Wizard Setoh who had asked me to come?"

Merlin was rather surprised.

"Huh? That's weird. That old fart Setoh left the castle a few days ago to somewhere unknown. How could he have let you in here?"

The black cat Didimoss' words surprised Merlin. If it was not Arcane Wizard Setoh who had invited him, then who was it?

"You can stop guessing. I made Bolt invite you in Wizard Setoh's name."

A familiar figure slowly appeared in the hall.

"Teacher!"

Merlin brightened up at the figure, no longer having any suspicion.

That figure was the Blackfire Lord. A smile also appeared on his indifferent face. He waved at Merlin and said, "Come, don't be so courteous. You can make yourself at home in this castle."

Merlin nodded. The black cat Didimoss wanted to jump onto Merlin's shoulders, but after seeing its own size, it could only give up, and fall into pace beside Merlin.

"Sit down, make yourself at home!"

After Merlin sat down, the black cat Didimoss finally found the right opportunity to jump on Merlin. It laid down lazily, looking very comfortable.

"Teacher, is there a reason why you called me here?"

Seeing how the Blackfire Lord did not say anything, Merlin asked cautiously.

"Yes, there is."

The Blackfire Lord paused. He fixed his sharp gaze on Merlin, and said solemnly, "Merlin, tell me. Have you already made that crucial step?"

"Crucial step?"

Merlin was slightly stunned but he immediately understood what the Blackfire Lord was referring to – the Mind Power system! From the beginning, the Blackfire Lord had even accepted Merlin as his disciple in order to perfect the Mind Power system.

According to the Blackfire Lord's understanding, Mind Power Masters could rival Great Legends after taking a crucial step, which was perfecting the Mind Power system. However, according to Titus' Mind Power system, being comparable to a Legend was just the state of the Illusory Heart. It was just the second stage of the Hallucinating spell.

There was still the third stage as well as the Illusory World. After the Illusory World, one would be able to turn nothingness into reality. That was the true perfection of the Mind Power system. Currently, Merlin had not even reached the Illusory Heart. He was still very far from that step.

After pondering for a moment, Merlin said slowly, "I have indeed made that crucial step and broke through the Legend's shackles!"

Merlin did not mention Titus' Mind Power system, not because of selfishness, but because Titus' Mind Power system was imperfect.

Even Titus failed in forming an Illusory World. The Illusory World in the illusion bead was imperfect. Even Titus could not perfect the Illusory World. Obviously, Titus' Mind Power system was flawed, and required Merlin to perfect it bit by bit in the future.

However, Merlin did not know whether Titus was on the right path or not, and neither did Titus. They could only move one step at a time, and hoped to finally perfect the Mind Power system through constant exploration.

Therefore, until the Mind Power system was completely perfected, Merlin did not plan on letting others know about Titus' Mind Power system. If it turned out that Titus' path was wrong, then Merlin would have caused a huge disaster. It would be catastrophic to the Spell Caster world.

That was why Merlin still chose to hide this issue for the time being.

"Haha, I was right. I was right!"

The Blackfire Lord's face revealed a trace of excitement. Since he became a Lord, he had been studying Mind Power, and he was also a powerful Mind Power Master. According to Titus' Mind Power system categorization, the Blackfire Lord had reached the second stage of Hallucinating spells.

The Blackfire Lord soon calmed his excitement, and continued. "Merlin, if you can perfect the Mind Power system, it'll make me even happier than if you become a Lord! You would be opening another path for many of our Spell Casters. Your contribution would be no less than the three great Arcane Wizards who were enlightened about the Spell Caster arcanum, and completely perfected the Spell Caster system."

It was not surprising that the Blackfire Lord was so excited. Indeed, if Merlin could truly completely perfect the Mind Power system, his achievement would be no less than the three great Arcane Wizards. It would also open a path not inferior to the Spell Caster system. It would play a huge role in the Spell Caster civilization.

"Merlin, our war with the Rock Tribe won't end for a while, and it's very likely that it'll develop into a cruel civilization war! I already know about your battle with the Progenitor Squad. Your combined spell's power is indeed very powerful but it's still not a true Legend. If the enemy can resist your Hallucinating spell or isn't affected by your Hallucinating spell, you'll be in great danger."

Merlin had also considered several points that the Blackfire Lord had mentioned. His strongest reliance now was on his Hallucinating spells. However, the Blackfire Lord did not know that Merlin could mobilize the Illusory World, and cause even true Great Legends to fall into the Hallucinating spell.

"Haha, Blackfire King, stop making Merlin worried. Quickly take out everything you got from the Legend of Darkness."

The black cat Didimoss suddenly interrupted.

"The Legend of Darkness?"

Merlin was stunned. He soon associated it to his Darkness Eye which was stuck at its sixth form, unable to break through to the seventh form.

The Blackfire Lord laughed. "That's right. I called the Legend of Darkness a few days ago, and asked him for some cultivation methods for Darkness Eye, especially the key method to cultivate it to its seventh form!"

"The seventh form!"

Merlin's eyes were fervent. Darkness Eye was the strongest at its seventh form, and was Legend of Darkness Oflas' greatest achievement. One could not become Legend, and have power equivalent to a Great Legend.

In order to do that, he had even set up a puppet team to cultivate Darkness Eye. With that team, the Legend of Darkness established a powerful Darkness country in the vast Spell Caster civilization, which was considered powerful beings even among Honored Legends.

Even if it was the Blackfire Lord, he must have exhausted all his thoughts, and used many methods to obtain the seventh form of Darkness Eye from the Legend of Darkness' hands.

Merlin was very moved. At this moment, he seemed to see Wizard Leo. The Blackfire Lord's figure in front of him seemed to slowly overlap with Wizard Leo from Merlin's memories.

"Teacher, you've gone through a lot of trouble for me! Thank you, Teacher Blackfire!"

"Haha, this is just a trivial matter. If you survive through the civilization war, that would be your greatest way of repaying me. Remember, you have to live on in the civilization way. You must perfect the Mind Power system!"

Merlin nodded solemnly. Then, the Blackfire Lord's Mind Power swiftly brought a large amount of information. Merlin did not resist, and his Mind Power automatically began to absorb it.

Chapter 623: The First Step

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the secret chamber of Setoh Castle, Merlin's surrounding was quiet. There was no one else but himself. Merlin gently shut his eyes, and examined the additional memory which had surfaced in his mind.

Darkness Eye was something Merlin had received when he was still weak. Once upon a time, it was his strongest ability. Even right now, the sixth form of Darkness Eye could rival a peak Great Wizard's abilities.

Nevertheless, following the advancement of Merlin's Spell Caster level as well as the improvements in his Spell Fusion, Hallucinating spell, and other abilities, the sixth form of Darkness Eye eventually lagged behind the rest of Merlin's abilities.

As for the seventh form of Darkness Eye, Merlin came to understand over time that the key to unlocking it must be controlled by the Legend of Darkness Oflas. Unless Merlin could obtain the key, he would not be able to level-up Darkness Eye anymore.

Right now, the Blackfire Lord had finally obtained the instructions from the Legend of Darkness in order to level-up Darkness Eye to its seventh form. Naturally, Merlin was very excited. Without any delay, he began to examine the large barrage of information given to him by the Blackfire Lord.

The information in Merlin's mind was extensive, and was all related to Darkness Eye. From the methods of cultivation to the final sixth form, the information was incredibly detailed. The Blackfire Lord must have employed some tactics that forced the Legend of Darkness to hand over the detailed instructions of cultivating Darkness Eye.

Perhaps, this was a feat that would not be achieved for the ordinary Lords. It must have been the Blackfire Lord's unique identity and status that caused the Legend of Darkness to surrender and hand over the secrets of Darkness Eye.

Merlin only took a cursory glance through the first to sixth forms. Darkness Eye was not cultivated from the start by Merlin, and even the sixth form was cultivated with the assistance of the Blackfire Lord. Therefore, Merlin did not have a very deep understanding of Darkness Eye. The only information he wanted to know now was, how to cultivate Darkness Eye successfully, and level up to its seventh form?

Soon, Merlin found an introduction to the seventh form of Darkness Eye, and it was very detailed.

Firstly, in order to cultivate the seventh form of Darkness Eye, it was necessary to fuse it with all his Darkness-type spells. Moreover, this fusion was not the same as the fusion of Pandora Demon Abilities but a fundamental fusion into the Darkness-type Spell Model.

Thus, it would require the Spell Caster to first combine all his Darkness-type Spell Models into one. In fact, this was also an essential step that had to be undertaken by any Ninth-level Spell Caster before becoming a Great Wizard.

Generally, Spell Casters who intend to combine their Spell Models to become a Great Wizard would start with fusing Spell Models of the same type first. For example, starting with Merlin's Darkness-type spells, he would start fusing the Zero-level Spell Model up to the Ninth-level Spell Model into one. After all, Spell Models of the same type would be able to fuse together easier than other types of Spell Models.

It was only after this step that they would consider fusing together different spell types. This method also avoided confusion. Otherwise, the random combination of dozens of Spell Models might kill even the most talented Spell Caster due to the collapse of the Spell Model.

Darkness Eye was a special Pandora Demon Ability so Merlin did not know whether it could be fused into the Darkness-type Spell Model. Nevertheless, since this was the method given by the Legend of Darkness Oflas, it would not be wrong.

Fusing it into the Spell Model was not the end. Subsequently, the Spell Caster's Mind Power had to be completely fused with Darkness Eye. Upon successful completion, Darkness Eye would level-up to its seventh form, and possess abilities comparable to a Great Legend.

However, Merlin discovered an issue. Fusing spells and Pandora Demon Abilities was incredibly difficult, akin to walking on a tightrope on stilts. An average Spell Caster would not be able to do it. Then, even if someone were to succeed, they would have to fuse their Mind Power with it. It was probably at this critical moment that Oflas would act. He would override the Spell Caster's Mind Power, and take control of their consciousness, thus turning the Spell Caster into one of his puppets.

This was the key that enabled the Legend of Darkness Oflas to control so many Spell Casters who were able to wield the seventh form of Darkness Eye.

"This is a clever tactic… Secretly spread the cultivation methods of Darkness Eye, step by step, and then observe the Spell Casters who are making rapid progress in cultivating Darkness Eye. Then, strike at the most critical moment! It would be a walk in the park to control a Ninth-level or Great Wizard. Instantly, the Legend of Darkness would possess a puppet that is comparable to a Great Legend."

Merlin was able to figure out the Legend of Darkness Oflas easily. The key that enabled him to control several Spell Casters as his puppets laid in the Mind Power fusion step.

"The Legend of Darkness Oflas overrides the Spell Caster's Mind Power to control their consciousness, and turn them into puppets. Most likely, he's similar to the Blackfire Lord, someone studying the Mind Power system. He must be a Mind Power Master who had at least consolidated the Mind Heart!"

According to the clues, Merlin immediately inferred that the Legend of Darkness Oflas was a Mind Power Master. Only then, it would explain how he had never missed a hand.

The only time was when the Blackfire Lord had helped Merlin remove the special powers hidden inside Darkness Eye. Hence, despite using the same method to cultivate the seventh form of Darkness Eye, Merlin would not have to fear being controlled by Oflas.

Moreover, Merlin was an outstanding Mind Power Master himself. His Mind Power was incredibly powerful, and his Hallucinating spell had achieved the third step. Even if the Legend of Darkness were to strike, he might not necessarily be able to override Merlin's Mind Power.

"This is strangely quite similar to the Illusory Heart."

Merlin muttered softly. Unexpectedly, the moment his voice dropped, the illusion bead in his ring began to vibrate.

Merlin frowned, and retrieved the illusion bead. Then, from the inside, Titus' apparition was projected outward.

Ever since Titus had forcibly mobilized the illusion bead the last time and sustained massive damage, Merlin no longer kept the illusion bead sealed. Therefore, Titus could observe the outside situation at any time via the illusion bead.

"Merlin, the Legend of Darkness uses Darkness Eye to override the Spell Caster's Mind Power, and thereby control their consciousness, turning them into puppets. This is completely different from the Illusory Heart. You better not think of this as a shortcut. If you expand your effort following the Legend of Darkness' approach, I'm afraid you'll never be able to achieve the enlightenment of the Illusory Heart."

Seeing the gravity in Titus' expression, Merlin was instead relaxed. He smiled slightly. "Oh? Is it so serious? Titus, you must be watching me very closely since you seem to know what I'm thinking? So, tell me, what's the difference?"

"The difference is huge!"

Titus paused and continued. "The Legend of Darkness' approach is simply using a powerful Mind Power to gain control over someone's consciousness, but what happens if you meet a more powerful Mind Power Master? Moreover, he strikes when the Spell Caster's guard is lowered. Even when he controls them, they're nothing but mindless puppets, how can that be compared to the Illusory Heart? The Illusory Heart enables you to use Hallucinating spells to completely trap your enemies in an unrecoverable illusion, and thus allowing you to control their minds. This is a very advanced form of control, not like the mindless puppets. In addition, your opponents can still be restored to normal after being exposed to the Hallucinating spell. This is the power of the Illusory Heart. The foundation of the Illusory Heart still lies within Hallucinating spells, which is why it's the second stage of Hallucinating spells."

Titus explained a lot in one breath, and Merlin nodded thoughtfully. Titus was "warning" Merlin that perfecting the Mind Power system would require a focus on Hallucinating spells. Only by achieving enlightenment on Hallucinating spells would he be able to achieve the higher realm of the Illusory Heart.

Later, Titus returned to the Illusory World. Merlin did not continue to pursue how the Legend of Darkness managed to control the Spell Casters. Instead, he began to combine all the Spell Models of his Darkness-type spells as per the Legend of Darkness' method.

From the Zero-level spell to the Ninth-level spell, there were a total of ten Spell Models. Merlin's Mind Power immersed in his Awareness, and saw that the Darkness-type Spell Models were like building blocks. Each of them was stacked up in a unique combination.

Even if they belonged to the same element type, there was a lot of repulsion between individual spells. Therefore, before combining Spell Models, it was necessary to first consider the repulsion between each Spell Model.

Generally, for the fusion of spells that belonged to the same type, while there was considerable repulsion, it could be directly suppressed by Mind Power. It was the fusion of different types of Spell Models that could not be forcibly suppressed or else it might explode and collapse.

Merlin began from the Zero-level Darkness-type Spell Model, and tried to forcibly fuse it with the First-level Spell Model. First, he allowed the two Spell Models slowly mingle.

"Chi chi."

Soon, Merlin found the problem. The two Spell Models were still unable to fuse together by themselves. After all, there was a huge difference between them.

Seeing that the spells were unable to fuse together, Merlin activated his enormous Mind Power.

"Boom."

The enormous Mind Power was like a mountain that slammed violently between the Zero- and First-level Darkness-type spells. Then, there was a bone-chilling sound, and the Zero-level Spell Model began to forcibly fuse with the First-level Spell Model.

A black mist enveloped the two Spell Models. Since they were Spell Models of the same type, a forced fusion would not pose any risk of collapse. Therefore, the Spell Casters dared to use Mind Power to forcibly combine Spell Models of the same type.

Finally, Merlin sensed that the repulsion between the two Spell Models was diminishing. At last, he gradually removed his Mind Power. The Zero-level Spell Model and the First-level Spell Model were madly fusing together like sponges.

This was not one engulfing the other but a true fusion. Merlin could sense that the newly-fused Spell Model had become more powerful than before.

However, such fusions must be done quickly. After the successful combination of the Zero-level and First-level Spell Models, the remaining Darkness-type Spell Models became like a building block structure with missing components. The entire structure was unstable. Merlin had to utilize all his Mind Power to stabilize the Spell Models.

Taking advantage this time, Merlin quickly began Second-level Spell Model fusion, and continued with the Third-, Fourth-, Fifth-, and up to Ninth-level Spell Model. One after another, they were fused together.

Merlin's expression was very calm. The combination of same-type Spell Models was not only the first step of cultivating the seventh form of Darkness Eye but also the first step toward becoming a Great Wizard. Hence, it was a very important task that left no room for error.

Chapter 624: The Six-Elemental Wizard Heart

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Boom."

When the Ninth-level Darkness-type Spell Model was fused, all the Spell Models vibrated gently. A black mist wrapped around the Spell Model as it underwent gradual changes. Finally, the black mist dissipated, and formed a black ball of light with the appearance of a heart.

"The Wizard Heart!"

Merlin was immediately reminded of the Wizard Heart wielded by Saturn and Rael when they were facing the powerful Progenitor's Body. That was the foundation of the Great Wizards, a multicolored ball of light formed by combining all the Spell Models in their bodies.

Right now, except for the color, in terms of aura and shape, Merlin's black ball of light was no different from the Great Wizards' Wizard Heart.

In fact, this was a Wizard Heart. However, it was a Wizard Heart formed through the combination of Darkness-type Spell Models alone. It had not yet become a real Wizard Heart because Merlin still needed to combine the Darkness-type, Fire-type, Wind-type, Ice-type, Earth-type, and Thunder-type Spell Models together. Then only would he be able to consolidate the real Wizard Heart and become a Great Wizard.

However, in Merlin's case, this step would be incredibly arduous. Combining Spell Models of the same type was relatively simple because he could rely on his powerful Mind Power to suppress it, and forcefully trigger the fusion.

On the other hand, fusing different types of spells was highly challenging. Especially if the respective single-type Wizard Heart was very powerful, then, it would be even more difficult to combine the different types together. Perhaps, at the stage of preparing to attempt the fusion, the Wizard Heart would completely burst open and collapse.

So, it would take a long time for Merlin to consolidate the true, multicolored Wizard Heart. Or, if he were lucky to encounter some opportunities, it would speed up the process of combining the Wizard Heart of each type.

These thoughts flashed across Merlin's mind. After the Darkness-type Wizard Heart was born, Merlin could clearly sense its powerful ability. It seemed that through the Wizard Heart, he could wield any spell from the Zero- to the Ninth-level, and they could be switched around as he liked.

This already showed the faint markings of a Great Wizard. A Great Wizard's spells could be switched around at will, so any spell wielded by a Great Wizard would be more powerful than any Spell Model that had to be simulated using Mind Power.

This was the use of the Wizard Heart. The only defect was that Merlin's Wizard Heart was not multicolored.

Upon sensing the Wizard Heart consolidated from the Darkness-type spells, Merlin's heart was sorely tempted. Currently, they were fighting at the front lines in a war against the Rock Tribe. Hence, any increase in strength was also an increase in chances of survival. After all, no one knew when a civilization war would erupt. That was brutal warfare that would kill even the Great Legends and Honored Legends.

As such, Merlin decided to continue fusing Spell Models. After the Darkness-type Spell Model fusion, he continued with the Fire-type Spell Model, Wind-type Spell Model, and so on. There was a look on his face that he would not be satisfied until he consolidated Six-Elemental Wizard Hearts.The Seely Dimension had been completely controlled by Spell Casters. There was also the powerful Mille Squad guarding the fort. Following the capture of the Seely Dimension, the Spell Caster civilization also gained an upper hand in other dimensions at the front line. Compared to the beginning of the war, the situation had been completely reversed.

The Spell Caster civilization had revealed its powerful foundations.

However, the Rock Tribe was not weak either. If anyone were to claim that the Rock Tribe had given up, most of the Spell Casters would not believe it. Nevertheless, it had been more than half a year, but the front line was very quiet. The quieter it was, the more suspicious it appeared to be.

Perhaps, the next attack by the Rock Tribe would be terribly fearsome.

In the Rock Tribe's dimension was a palace floating in mid-air. Inside, Progenitor Hanra was looking calmly at six strange Rock Creatures. These Rock Creatures had a black body that glowed with a dark red light.

Rock Creatures possessing such strange traits were said to be the most powerful according to the Rock Tribe's history. They were the most preeminent prodigies of the entire civilization, and had great potential to become one of the most powerful Ancestor-level Rock Creatures.

Even Progenitor Hanra was once upon a time a Rock Creature like this, able to challenge beyond his level!

"The six of you are the biggest secret of the Rock Tribe. On the surface, we only have two civilization-level prodigies, but in actual fact, we have six of you!"

Progenitor Hanra looked at these six Rock Creatures confidently. There were a few reasons he decided to trigger the war. Besides the years of accumulated grudges against the Spell Casters and the issue of developing the Rock Tribe civilization in a different direction, his decision was also influenced by these six civilization-level prodigies.

The term civilization-level prodigy denoted that, on average, only one individual out of the entire civilization would be an existence capable of challenging a Great Legend beyond his or her level. If there were any civilization where two civilization-level prodigies emerged simultaneously, then it would be an impressive civilization.

Right now, however, six civilization-level prodigies had emerged among the Rock Tribe. All of them were existences like Alcra, who was able to challenge a Great Legend beyond his level. Moreover, the Tree Tribe civilization was also considered a relatively strong civilization, yet they only produced one civilization-level prodigy – Alcra.

Progenitor Hanra continued. "Over the years, only three civilization-level prodigies have emerged among the Spell Caster civilization, which are from the three great Arcane Cities. Nonetheless, based on my speculation, the Spell Caster civilization must be hiding some other civilization-level prodigies. Perhaps it's two or maybe three but it's not important. Even if the Spell Caster civilization was to have seven or eight civilization-level prodigies, it doesn't matter because as long as the Legends don't interfere, they'll undoubtedly lose!"

Progenitor Hanra appeared to be very confident. Once the six civilization-level prodigies summoned the Progenitor's Body, their powers would be mind-blowingly formidable. The reason Progenitor Hanra had not organized any attack at the front line for so long was to gather these six civilization-level prodigies.

"Great Progenitor Hanra, we'll not abandon our mission. We'll drive away all those pathetic Spell Casters."

These six civilization-level prodigies shouted in unison.

Progenitor Hanra shook his head. "You don't have to be in such a hurry. You're the last playing card of the Rock Tribe. Right now, before the civilization war breaks out, we'll try to occupy as many dimensions as possible. However, not all of you can reveal yourselves. Only the two publicly-known ones can show themselves.

"Aroyo, Samka, both of you go to the Seely Dimension. It's best if you can travel at the fastest speed possible, so that the Spell Casters cannot react in time, and occupy the Seely Dimension. Hehe, I believe Setoh must've made preparations. If he sends out two or three civilization-level prodigies, the four of you will immediately launch into battle, and form the Progenitor's Body. Kill two or three of the Spell Caster's civilization-level prodigies, and victory will be ours. That's the greatest hit on the Spell Caster civilization!"

Progenitor Hanra quickly made detailed arrangements. His aim was to kill the Spell Casters' civilization-level prodigies. Every civilization-level prodigy was very precious because they held the potential to become a Great Lord in the future.

The role of a Great Lord in a civilization war was unimaginable because as long as it was not genocide, the Arcane Wizards would not involve themselves. Thus, the most powerful force was the Great Lords.

If there was one powerful Great Lord, it might even decide the outcome of the war. This war between the Spell Casters civilization and the Rock Tribe civilization was highly likely to turn into a civilization war, so it was impossible to end it in a short time. Most probably, it would continue for a few hundred or a few thousand years or maybe even longer. Thus, the civilization-level prodigies had a direct impact on the outcome of the war.

"Great Progenitor Hanra, we'll go to the Seely Dimension now!"

Aroyo and Samka exchanged a look. They could see the excitement in each other's eyes. The Rock Tribe's cavalry had arrived!"Chi."

In Merlin's Awareness, following the birth of the final Thunder-type Wizard Heart, Merlin finally combined all his Six-Elemental Spell Models into Six-Elemental Wizard Hearts. The powers of his spells were significantly stronger than before.

In addition, Merlin's Four-Elemental spell fusion also increased in strength. However, combining these Six-Elemental Wizard Hearts to consolidate the multicolored Wizard Heart, and become a Great Wizard was truly challenging.

"Phew…"

Merlin let out a long sigh of relief. In a low voice, he mumbled, "Time to fuse Darkness Eye!"

After consolidating Six-Elemental Wizard Hearts in a row, Merlin was now ready to continue his attempt to cultivate the seventh form of Darkness Eye. He had already completed the first step, so now he was beginning the second step, which was fusing Darkness Eye.

This was also a very crucial step, fusing Darkness Eye with the Darkness-type Wizard Heart. With Merlin's single thought, Darkness Eye appeared in his Awareness, and initiated to fuse with the Darkness-type Wizard Heart.

"Can they really fuse together?"

Merlin's heart was overjoyed. In reality, as long as someone was able to cultivate Darkness Eye to its sixth form, the seventh form was basically given. The only danger was that the Legend of Darkness would take this opportunity to gain control over the Spell Caster, turning the Spell Caster who had cultivated the seventh form of Darkness Eye into his puppet.

Merlin, on the other hand, was in no such danger as the threat had already been removed by the Blackfire Lord. Therefore, Merlin could boldly cultivate the seventh form of Darkness Eye.

Soon, Darkness Eye and the Darkness-type Wizard Heart were completely fused together. The last remaining step was to integrate his Mind Power with Darkness Eye.

This was the last step of cultivating the seventh form of Darkness Eye as well as the most critical step. Upon success, the seventh form would be unlocked.

"Hum."

Merlin gathered his enormous Mind Power, and entered his Awareness. In fact, it also affected the other Wizard Hearts as they were vibrating constantly. This proved how powerful Merlin's Mind Power really was.

"Fuse!"

Merlin growled, and the huge Mind Power swiftly covered Darkness Eye like a huge wave of flood.

"Boom."

Merlin's Mind Power instantly entered an endless blood-red sea that was howling madly with an incessant stench of blood. There was also a myriad of horrible negative emotions crashing down like a tide, fiercely attacking Merlin's Awareness.

At the same time, Merlin did not notice that behind him, traces of crimson light began to converge, and a giant apparition of a crimson eye slowly appeared…

Chapter 625: The Seventh Form

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"So, this is the seventh form of Darkness Eye!"

Merlin's consciousness was battered by an endless onslaught of negative emotions. An average Spell Caster or even a Spell Caster who had consolidated a Mind Heart, would not be able to withstand it.

Only those Spell Casters whose consciousness had been taken control, and became puppets would be able to withstand the onslaught of negative emotions, hence successfully cultivating the seventh form of Darkness Eye.

It was not surprising that despite the Legend of Darkness' unwillingness, he still handed over the cultivation method of Darkness Eye, and did not try to interfere. That was because the final step of cultivating the seventh form of Darkness Eye was already inherently filled with unimaginable danger, almost to the point of death.

Perhaps, the Legend of Darkness Oflas was currently waiting for Merlin to cultivate the seventh form of Darkness Eye as soon as possible so that when the onslaught of negative emotions hit, Merlin's consciousness would collapse, and no longer exist.

"The real danger is actually right here… Too bad, Legend of Darkness Oflas, you probably didn't expect that someone managed to perfect the Mind Power system to this extent, right?"

A smile quirked up around the corners of Merlin's mouth. The sudden onslaught of negative emotions was indeed terrifying. With just a tiny lapse in concentration, even a Spell Caster who had reached the second step of Hallucinating spells like the Blackfire Lord would not be able to withstand it.

Merlin, on the other hand, had graduated to the third step of Hallucinating spells, and was an entire tier above almost all the other Mind Power Masters. Therefore, though these negative emotions were more than ten times stronger than what he had ever felt before, they only gave Merlin a vague feeling of impact. His enormous Mind Power had suppressed them firmly, and the negative emotions vanished without a trace.

"Darkness Eye, Silencing Ray!"

Merlin fiercely opened his eyes. Behind him, the strange giant crimson eye appeared to blink open, then shot out rays of crimson lights, violently ricocheting around the secret chamber.

"Rumble."

The entire secret chamber shook strongly, but soon, a magical pulse stabilized it. This was, after all, Arcane Wizard Setoh's castle, so it was impossible for even the most preeminent Great Wizard to destabilize the castle.

Right now, the secret chamber was shaken. This spoke volumes of Merlin's Darkness Eye. The seventh form, Silencing Ray, truly was comparable to the power of a Great Legend!

"It's time to go out. I wonder what has happened outside?"

There was a smile on Merlin's mouth. He was very satisfied with the seventh form of Darkness Eye. He was also the first Wizard who had successfully cultivated Darkness Eye without being controlled by the Legend of Darkness. Perhaps, even the Legend of Darkness Oflas did not know how Merlin managed to cultivate the seventh form of Darkness Eye.

So, with a wave of his hand, Merlin opened the secret chamber. Immediately, a black figure flew straight at him.

"Meow."

The black cat Didimoss, as fat as a large dog, flew toward Merlin. Looking at the secret chamber with a puzzled expression, he asked Merlin, "What happened earlier? Your secret chamber was shaking. This is the old fart Setoh's castle, it's practically impossible to leave even a scratch on it."

"It's nothing."

Merlin shook his head gently, and did not explain. Instead, he asked Didimoss, "Where are Teacher Blackfire and Arcane Wizard Setoh?"

He noted that the Blackfire Lord's figure was nowhere to be seen in the main foyer.

The black cat Didimoss replied unconcernedly, "Hehe, what else, of course they're at the front line. While you were in the secret chamber, there has been a lot of changes at the front line. I heard that the Rock Tribe had begun moving again. Two days ago, the Blackfire Lord and Setoh hurried there."

"The Rock Tribe is making another move?"

Merlin frowned slightly. He had spent several months in the secret chamber. Seeing that the Rock Tribe had been quiet for so long, they must have been gathering their strength and were ready to start all over again. He did not expect that the battle would resume so soon.

"If there are changes at the front line, then I'll leave now. Do you know how to leave this castle?"

Setoh Castle was not a place that anyone could just come and go as they liked. Without Arcane Wizard Setoh's permission, even a Great Lord would not be able to enter and exit.

The black cat Didimoss pointed at the main door. "Don't worry, you can enter and leave Setoh Castle at any time. That old fart had already given you permission. You won't encounter any problems entering and leaving this castle."

Merlin was doubtful but he headed directly toward the door.

"Creak."

Sure enough, the door seemed to be slightly sentient. As Merlin approached, the door slowly swung open. Merlin glanced at the sky outside, and took a step out. Then, he immediately flew away from the Alabaster Dimension.Outside the Seely Dimension, there was a huge castle suspended awkwardly in the middle of the Void Zone. It was very conspicuous. Nevertheless, many Spell Casters looked at this castle with reverence in their eyes. Not only was it a very powerful casting tool but it was also the temporary command center of Arcane Wizard Setoh, one of the three greatest Ultimate Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization. In the entire Seely Dimension, the Spell Casters almost no longer had any room to maneuver. It was once again occupied by the Rock Tribe.

This time, the Spell Casters also gathered almost all the powerful Wizards at the front line. This upcoming battle with the Rock Tribe was inevitable!

In the splendid golden foyer, Arcane Wizard Setoh was sitting on a big chair while the four Great Lords, namely the Blackfire Lord, the Arctic Lord, the Sorrow Lord, and the Nightmare Lord flanked his two sides.

Further down, there was another eighteen Honored Legends and more than a hundred Great Legends. Certainly, this was not the most powerful force of the entire Spell Caster civilization but it was a considerably strong force.

This was also the first line of attack in the war against the Rock Tribe with Arcane Wizard Setoh guarding the front line. Usually, a civilization war would be guarded by only one Ultimate Arcane Wizard. After all, the Spell Caster civilization did not only have the Rock Tribe as their enemies, so the other two Ultimate Arcane Wizards would stay guard in different places.

Although there were only four Great Lords present, Arcane Wizard Setoh himself had many avatars, each of which was comparable to the most preeminent Great Lord. Therefore, besides a foreign tribe civilization, this force was completely undefeatable by any Spell Caster force.

At this moment, however, all these Wizards wore a somber expression, like something big had occurred.

"Everyone, I'm sure all of you know by now know that the Rock Tribe has dispatched their civilization-level prodigies. This is the strongest force that can be used before triggering a civilization war! The Seely Dimension has now been re-occupied by the Rock Tribe. I believe that they must be hiding a few more civilization-level prodigies. I estimate there may be three or four civilization-level prodigies!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh swept a glance across the numerous Great Legends below him. The most basic element of a civilization war was the involvement of Great Legends in the fight. That would mark the beginning of a civilization war.

A civilization war was something that no civilization would wish to happen. Even the Rock Tribe only wanted to consume a few Spell Caster dimensions before the civilization war erupted, so that they would have a wider passage into the Void Zone.

In reality, the Rock Tribe was situated in a very awkward position. The Void Zone situated behind them was a very dangerous and chaotic territory. Furthermore, there were numerous horrible creatures that were surviving in the Void Zone. The dimensions located in the Void Zone were unstable and only contained half-formed dimensions which were incomplete. Hence, the Rock Tribe did not dare to venture into the dimensions behind them.

As such, they could only venture into their surroundings. However, their surroundings on the left and right were occupied by the powerful God Alliance. Although the God Alliance was not very united, it still comprised of the eight largest god organizations, which would make any civilization wary. If a civilization war was triggered, and the eight largest god organization managed to unite, the Rock Tribe civilization would not be able to resist them.

Therefore, the only remaining alternative was the Spell Caster civilization. Breaking past the Spell Caster civilization was their only hope!

However, the Spell Caster civilization was also in a precarious situation. They were surrounded by powerful foreign tribe civilizations everywhere. So, if they allowed the Rock Tribe to advance forward, and clear open a passageway, then in the long run, the Spell Caster civilization would be in greater danger.

Both major civilizations had their own reasons for not being able to retreat as the implications involved the survival and development of the entire civilization. More often than not, the brutal civilization wars were driven by such inescapable circumstances.

"We also have Civilization-level prodigies! Great Wizard Setoh, the civilization-level prodigies from the three great Arcane Cities must've arrived, right?"

An Honored Legend could not help but ask. A civilization-level prodigy was an important key in determining the outcome of a war, in circumstances preceding a civilization war.

"Of course, they've arrived. Yad, Courtney, Sven, come out."

A faint smile appeared on Wizard Setoh's face as he called loudly.

From behind the main foyer, three Spell Casters emerged. Seeing these three Spell Casters, all the Great Legends in the foyer descended into discussions with one another.

These three were not ordinary Spell Casters but civilization-level prodigies nurtured by the three great Arcane Cities. They were the most powerful prodigies in the three great Arcane Cities, and perhaps throughout the entire Spell Caster civilization.

In order to become a civilization-level prodigy, they would have to be able to compete against a Great Legend. Furthermore, these three did not merely have the ability to compete against Great Legends 1 but held an impressive track record of defeating ordinary Legends.

All these were despite being only Great Wizards!

"Alright, alright, the civilization-level prodigies from the three great Arcane Cities have arrived. It's time for the final battle. You must obliterate the fantasy of the Rock Tribe and let them know that it may be dangerous to provoke the God Alliance but the Spell Caster civilization isn't easy to be provoked either! They better retreat quietly, and not harbor any other intentions."

"Yes, the Rock Tribe thought that they could find a breakthrough point via the Spell Caster civilization. Hmph, did they think it would be easy? It's absolutely impossible to allow them to advance even a single step further. So, this time, we must completely destroy their fantasy!"

All the Great Legends held high esteems of the civilization-level prodigies from the three great Arcane Cities.

"Wizard Yad, Wizard Courtney, do you see that? The Great Legends have placed their confidence in you. Let's have the two of you go to the Seely Dimension first, and viciously strike the Rock Tribe's arrogance. We'll have them know that their civilization-level prodigies are still far behind!"

The two chosen civilization-level prodigies stood up, and gave a curt bow to Arcane Wizard Setoh. In a deep voice, they said, "Great Wizard Setoh, we'll defeat the civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe, and regain control over the Seely Dimension."

"Very well, go now. The Great Legends will watch you from here."

Subsequently, the two civilization-level prodigies swiftly departed from the castle, and flew toward the Seely Dimension. In the castle, Arcane Wizard Setoh waved his hand, and an image appeared in the foyer. It was the two civilization-level prodigy Wizards.

This was the first final battle with the Rock Tribe as well as a battle of the foundations of two great civilizations. Thus, even the Great Legend would not sit idly but instead, watch the image closely.

Chapter 626: Civilization-Level Prodigy!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin stood outside the Seely Dimension with a frown. Now, outside the Seely Dimension, stood a dense formation of numerous Spell Casters. Just as Merlin was about to enter the dimension, a familiar voice greeted him from behind, "Merlin? It's really you!"

"Swish swish."

Behind Merlin were the members of the Rainbow Squad. The Wizard who had noticed Merlin was Wizard Saturn.

"Wizard Saturn, I didn't expect to see all of you here."

Merlin also appeared pleased. He was a member of the Rainbow Squad, and had experienced life and death with Saturn and the others, so their relationship was very harmonious.

"Merlin, we tried looking for you throughout this period but you didn't come out after entering Setoh Castle. As you know, we're unable to enter Setoh Castle. Why are you trying to enter the Seely Dimension?"

Merlin wavered for a moment. Then, he pointed toward the dense formation of Spell Casters outside the Seely Dimension and asked, "What happened? Why are there so many Spell Casters outside the Seely Dimension?"

"You don't know?"

Saturn was slightly taken aback. He pointed at the Seely Dimension and explained, "Recently, a lot has happened. The Rock Tribe has launched a full-blown war, and sent their strongest forces. Among them are two civilization-level prodigies who are almost completely unbeatable. They have re-occupied the Seely Dimension. The Ultimate Arcane Wizard has announced preparations for the final battle, and summoned all Spell Casters to come to the front line."

"Civilization-level prodigies!"

Merlin muttered under his breath. He was not unfamiliar with this term. Back in the open territory, he not only knew of civilization-level prodigies but in fact, interacted with them. Alcra from the Tree Tribe had also transformed into a civilization-level prodigy.

Every civilization-level prodigy was almost comparable to a Great Legend. Although they were not actually Legends, their abilities were not the least inferior to a Great Legend.

If even the civilization-level prodigies had been sent out, the Rock Tribe was indeed gearing up for a final battle.

"Arcane Wizard Setoh can't be so easily stumped, right? According to rumors, each of the three great Arcane Cities has a civilization-level prodigy respectively…"

Just as Merlin's words fell, everyone's attention was captivated by the castle suspended in the Void Zone. At this very moment, the castle gates swung open. Two figures flew out of the castle, and headed directly toward the Seely Dimension.

Saturn squinted his eyes and whispered, "It's Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney. They are our civilization-level prodigies from the Spell Caster civilization. They're finally here!"

"The final battle has begun. The battle of the civilization-level prodigies!"

Outside the Seely Dimension, many Spell Caster recognized these two prodigies. The civilization-level prodigies of the three great Arcane Cities were known to most Great Wizards. Their fame was probably more well-known than some Great Legends within the Spell Caster civilization.

"Let's follow and take a look."

Merlin glanced at Saturn. The other members of the Rainbow Squad also seemed eager to follow. After all, a fight between civilization-level prodigies was a rare event. If not for the civilization war, perhaps they would never see it.

Moreover, there was another rumor about the civilization-level prodigies. Wizard Setoh, the most recent Arcane Wizard among the three great Arcane Wizards, was also a civilization-level prodigy before becoming a Legend.

Since Arcane Wizard Setoh was previously a civilization-level prodigy, many of the Spell Casters had speculated that perhaps, the civilization-level prodigies had potential to become Arcane Wizards?

However, it had been almost three thousand years since Arcane Wizard Setoh became a Great Arcane Wizard. Thereafter, the Spell Caster civilization had not given birth to another Ultimate Arcane Wizard.

With the entry of these two civilization-level prodigies into the Seely Dimension, many of the more confident teams also followed them into the Seely Dimension.

In the Seely Dimension, it was still filled with endless black rocks. The entire dimension no longer had any trace of elements. The Seely Dimension had already become an ice-cold world, only suitable for the survival of the Rock Tribe.

Currently, there was only one stronghold in the Seely Dimension, which was also the stronghold guarded by the two civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe. At this time, the stronghold seemed to be prepared, and was quietly awaiting the arrival of Spell Casters.

Once the civilization-level prodigies of Arcane City flew above the stronghold, the two Rock Creatures suddenly flew upward, their bodies exuding oppressive auras. Even though they were not Legends, they appeared to possess the formidable powers of a Legend.

"Aroyo, Samka! The two civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe!"

These two Rock Creatures were different from the rest of the Rock Tribe. Their bodies emitted a dark red glow, so they looked very distinctive.

"The Spell Casters are finally willing to send you here? Wizard Yad, Wizard Courtney, the civilization-level prodigies of Arcane City, who once defeated a Great Legend! There's no right or wrong in a civilization battle. Let's rock!"

The two Rock Creatures, Aroyo and Samka, began to glow dimly. The dark red glow on their bodies flashed faster as their bodies grew taller, and their auras became more intimidating.

"Attack!"

Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney exchanged a glance, and each marked a Rock Creature. With a wave of their hands, they seemed to sprinkle a rainbow-colored ray. The colorful light rays illuminated the entire sky into a gorgeous scene.

"Boom."

This gorgeous rainbow contained terrifying powers that could rival a Great Legend. Such power could break even a Great Legend's Maxim.

A Maxim was a sublimation of spells, and was completely different in terms of power. Maxims were a higher-level power. In essence, Maxims were infinitely more powerful than spells but the spells of these civilization-level prodigies had already exceeded an ordinary Legend's Maxim power.

"The power to break a Maxim… Perhaps, after I combine the Six-Elemental Wizard Heart and become a Great Wizard, I can have the power to break a Maxim!"

Merlin's gaze was transfixed on Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney in the battlefield. Such absolute spell power was Merlin's current inadequacy.

If he relied on the Illusory World and other supplementary powers, Merlin would be more formidable than an average Legend. However, his spells were still far from the levels achieved by the civilization-level prodigies.

On the other hand, these two civilization-level prodigies were completely self-sufficient in terms of spells. They had the power to break a Maxim and rival a Great Legend!

"Roar…"

However, the two civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe would not be sitting ducks. They were also civilization-level prodigies that could rival an Ancestor-level Rock Creature. Amid the ear-splitting roars, the two Rock Creatures hardened further, and grew taller. Then, they extended a gigantic hand and swung a punch.

A shockwave, almost visible to the naked eye, vibrated through the air. Two mighty forces collided violently in mid-air.

"Chi."

There was no earth-shattering explosion. Instead, an invisible vibration spread out in all directions. The surrounding space began to crack in a spider web-like pattern.

"Crack."

There was a crisp sound, and the space of the Seely Dimension was destroyed in an instant. The sky turned dark. The entire Seely Dimension seemed to be "wailing".

In an ordinary dimension, should a Great Legend wield his powers without regard to consequences, the destructive power could cause a dimension to collapse entirely.

What more a legendary battle between four civilization-level prodigies. This was no different from an epic battle between four Great Legends.

Nevertheless, this was just the beginning. Despite space being torn apart, the Seely Dimension could recover quickly. Self-recovery was an ability possessed by a complete dimension.

In the first confrontation, the two sides were equally matched. However, the dark red glow on the backs of the two civilization-level prodigy Rock Creatures began to coalesce into a huge apparition.

"Boom."

Aroyo and Samka slammed a foot brutally onto the ground. Suddenly, countless rocks were reduced to rubble, and mountains collapsed into dirt. It seemed like the entire dimension was shaking.

The two of them rushed forward again. The rainbow light in Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney's hands glowed several times brighter. This was their spell fusion, thus, it could undergo hundreds and thousands of permutations. The rainbow light swiftly turned into two shields in front of their bodies.

"Boom."

Again, it was a head-on collision. The two spell-conjured shields shattered immediately but the broken shards turned into blazing flames. Then, like two fire dragons, they stretched open their mouths and fiercely snapped at the two Rock Creatures.

Aroyo and Samka did not seem afraid. They hurtled a fist toward the fire dragons, and the fire dragons' bodies dissipated. This time, they transformed into a large web which soared toward the Rock Creatures.

The two sides traded one blow after another. Just a few crossfires had caused terrible damage to the landscape. The inherent danger was even more worrisome.

Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney's mastery of spells was truly superhuman and awe-inspiring. The greatest difference between a Great Wizard and a Ninth-level Spell Caster was the Wizard Heart. For a Ninth-level Spell Caster to wield a spell, he would need to simulate each Spell Model to release the spell. Thus, not only was there a lag in time but the changes between spells were also not as instinctive and uninterrupted.

Great Wizards, on the other hand, were able to do that. Once they had consolidated the colorful Wizard Heart, their spells would become ever-changing. They could wield any spell and change its form. From a frigid Ice-type spell to a blazing flame spell or even ice crystals encrusted in flames, was possible. They could even bend the laws of nature.

"Amazing, amazing, truly amazing! It's not surprising that they are the civilization-level prodigies. Not only are their spells powerful but even their techniques are almost flawless!"

Saturn was watching attentively. Like Merlin, he was also looking at Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney's mastery of spells. Initially, Saturn was quite an arrogant prodigy. He was the mightiest existence below a Legend. He even thought that the only difference between him and the civilization-level prodigies was merely the shortfall in perfect-grade spells.

Right now, however, he genuinely admired Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney!

Saturn was not alone in his revelation. Merlin, too, felt the blindfolds lifted from his eyes. Just watching the battle between the civilization-level prodigies would give him an edge later when he combined his Spell Models. Among his spells, most of them were perfect-grade spells, so it was extremely difficult to combine them. These civilization-level Wizards were basically similar to Merlin as they too, had many perfect-grade spells. Hence, they were a good reference point for Merlin.

"Boom."

Another violent shock rippled through. The Seely Dimension began to vibrate strongly. The mountains tumbled, the grounds cracked, and the space shattered. All of these were the mark of a dimension that was about to collapse.

"The Seely Dimension can't hold on any longer?"

Merlin frowned. The four civilization-level prodigies had been fighting for less than half a day but the Seely Dimension was already on the brink of collapse.

The Seely Dimension began to tremor like it would fall apart the very next moment.

"Wizard Setoh, if this continues, the Seely Dimension won't be able to hold on much longer!"

In the castle suspended in the Void Zone, one of the four Lords, the Nightmare Lord, said with a frown. They could clearly see the tremors even from the image conjured by Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"No choice, reinforcement it is. Although the Seely Dimension had been altered by the Rock Tribe, it's still a barrier to protect the Spell Caster civilization. Without the Seely Dimension, our Alabaster Dimension, as well as hundreds of other dimensions, would be susceptible to the Rock Tribe. Moreover, I believe Hanra also won't want the altered Seely Dimension to be destroyed."

After Arcane Wizard Setoh had finished speaking, he extended a finger and tapped gently in the direction of the Seely Dimension.

"Hum."

A magical power, different than the Maxim of any Great Legend, shrouded the Seely Dimension. The originally almost-collapsing Seely Dimension immediately became exceptionally sturdy, to the point that a full force attack from a Great Legend would not be able to break the space.

In the Rock Tribe's palace, many powerful Rock Creatures were also anxiously watching the fight between the civilization-level prodigies that was unfolding in the Seely Dimension. This would determine whether the Rock Tribe would be able to achieve their goals before the war.

Seeing the magical power shrouding around the Seely Dimension, some of the Rock Creatures could not help but interject, "Great Progenitor Hanra, that Arcane Wizard Setoh from the Spell Caster civilization is intervening in the Seely Dimension, this is…"

Before he could finish his words, Progenitor Hanra waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Setoh is just stabilizing the Seely Dimension. He doesn't want the Seely Dimension to be destroyed. Do we want to lose a good dimension for nothing? Never mind, Setoh doesn't dare to intervene directly. Now, it's almost time to give Setoh a surprise."

Progenitor Hanra waved his hand. Two of the four dark red Rock Creatures beside him took a step forward. Progenitor Hanra said in a deep voice, "The two of you, go. We're not seeking victory, only stability! Setoh will believe that the Rock Tribe only has four civilization-level prodigies. All you need to do is draw out as many civilization-level prodigies as you can that the Spell Casters are hiding."

The two Rock Creatures exchanged a glance, and nodded with a solemn expression. They had already received their instructions beforehand but Hanra was slightly worried, so he reminded them again.

"Alright, go!"

As soon as Progenitor Hanra's voice subsided, the two Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies swiftly flew away.

"Progenitor, will the plan really succeed?"

Behind Progenitor Hanra were another two similarly dark red Rock Creatures, who asked hesitantly.

"With the two of you here, we'll definitely succeed. What worries me now is whether Setoh would turn humiliation into fury, and directly launch the civilization war! Both of you, inform all the Ancestor-level Rock Creatures to prepare outside the Seely Dimension, and be ready to enter any time!"

The two dark red Rock Creatures exchanged a quick look, and departed respectfully."Civilization-level prodigies… I didn't expect that in the past two thousand over years, the Spell Caster civilization had developed so quickly. Do you know, back when I was still in the Spell Caster civilization before entering the Slothful Beast World, how many civilization-level Wizards there were? Only one. Amid countless dimensions, there was only one civilization-level prodigy! Right now, there are at least three on the surface. Hehe, I believe they're furtively hiding a few more civilization-level prodigies. The rate of development of the Spell Caster civilization is truly breathtaking…"

Merlin merely glanced at the ring on his hand, and did not respond to Titus in the illusion bead. Nevertheless, Merlin agreed with Titus' inference. The Spell Caster civilization had been developing so quickly, so there must be more than the three publicly known civilization-level prodigies from the three great Arcane Cities.

"Hmm? Merlin, look, the Rock Tribe is sending reinforcements, and they're dark red Rock Creatures as well. This time, there are two of them. Oh my, the Rock Tribe actually has four civilization-level prodigies!"

"The Rock Tribe has four civilization-level prodigies, exceeding the three civilization-level Wizards of the three great Arcane Cities. This is the trump card that the Rock Tribe had spent so much time preparing!"

Many Spell Casters saw that the Rock Tribe had sent another two civilization-level prodigies, making them a total of four who were tightly suppressing the two civilization-level Wizards. All their expressions turned grave.

"Aroyo, Samka, Progenitor Hanra sent us to help you. Let's join forces and suppress these two Spell Casters."

"Alright, let's suppress them!"

The four Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies surrounded Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney. A huge dark red apparition appeared behind each Rock Creature, ready to suppress the two Spell Casters.

The evenly matched situation was broken. Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney immediately found themselves in a disadvantageous position. Their situation turned precarious.

At this time, Arcane Wizard Setoh, who was watching the changes unfolding in the Seely Dimension from the Void Zone castle, did not appear the least concerned. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his face as he quietly murmured, "Finally, you can't help it. Hanra, you were relying on these four civilization-level prodigies? After so many years, the Rock Tribe managed to nurture four civilization-level prodigies. If it were other civilizations, they might not necessarily be able to counter that… However, the Spell Caster civilization was able to develop into a powerful civilization in a mere three thousand years after stepping foot into the Void Zone. Is that something the Rock Tribe can ever hope to achieve? Since this is the final battle, it's time to burst your fantasy. Four of you, go together now, and don't spare any mercy. If you can kill one Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigy, it would be our victory, and if you can kill two… Haha, the Rock Tribe won't dare to make another move in the next one thousand years!"

"Wizard Setoh, don't worry, we'll do our best to kill those Rock Creatures, and smash the Rock Tribe's fantasy!"

Subsequently, these four civilization-level Wizards left the castle, and flew to the Seely Dimension as quickly as possible.

The four Lords beside Setoh finally showed a smile on their faces. The Arctic Lord even grinned. "The outcome is decided. Now, we just have to be prepared in case Hanra turns humiliation into fury, and sends the Legends. That would cascade into a violent civilization war. No matter who wins in the end, there'll not be any benefit."

Setoh nodded. "Yes, we should be prepared. Blackfire Lord, Arctic Lord, Nightmare Lord, and Sorrow Lord, the four Lords will each lead some Great Legends and wait outside the Seely Dimension. If Hanra is really desperate, then we'll fight. Although the Spell Caster civilization is unwilling to see a civilization war, it doesn't mean that we're afraid!"

The four Lords glanced at each other, and stood up. Leading most of the Legends in the main foyer, they left the castle, and flew formidably toward the Seely Dimension.

Such a large movement naturally attracted the attention of many Spell Casters. Sensing the formidable auras, all the Spell Casters felt overwhelmed in their hearts."Merlin, the cavalry has arrived. Four civilization-level Wizards, there's four of them! Adding Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney, there are a total of six civilization-level prodigies!"

Saturn suddenly pointed to the four unfamiliar Spell Casters who were descending. Besides Wizard Sven, who was widely recognized as one of the civilization-level prodigies of Arcane City, the other three Wizards were completely unfamiliar.

Nonetheless, there was no doubt that they were also civilization-level Wizards. They were the secret prodigies who were hidden away. Now that the battle with the Rock Tribe had almost reached its boiling point, the arrival of these four civilization-level Wizards would be a decisive force!

"There's more behind!"

Merlin squinted and saw that after the four civilization-level Wizards descended, there was another formidable force lined up outside the Seely Dimension. This group of formidable Spell Casters exuded a frightening aura, enough to overwhelm anyone.

"The four Lords with hundreds of Great Legends! Is the final battle going to erupt?"

Even Wizard Saturn was overwhelmed seeing so many great existences gathered together, let alone the other Spell Casters. Perhaps, in their entire lives, they had never witnessed such a frightening army.

"Probably it might not be a final battle, but they're here as a precaution. It all depends on the outcome between the two sides' civilization-level prodigies. If the Rock Tribe loses and turns humiliation into fury, I'm afraid a civilization war will erupt!"

Merlin took a deep breath and murmured but he could only guess. No one would be able to predict the direction of these two major civilizations. Even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards could not see the future.

Everyone was paying close attention to what was happening in the Seely Dimension. As soon as the four civilization-level Wizards appeared, the odds were reversed. A total of six civilization-level Wizards wielded their spells, and immediately trapped those four Rock Creatures.

However, there was not a single trace of anxiety on the faces of the four trapped Rock Creatures. They exchanged glances with a glint of malice.In the Rock Tribe dimension, seeing that the Spell Casters had sent four civilization-level prodigies, Progenitor Hanra stood up abruptly, and stared cruelly at the Seely Dimension.

"Hehe, Setoh, you think victory is in hand with these six civilization-level prodigies? Two of you, go out, form the Progenitor's Body, and kill those six civilization-level Spell Casters!"

The two dark red Rock Creatures behind Progenitor Hanra revealed a sinister smile. They seemed eager, and left for Seely Dimension immediately.

"Swish swish."

Two flashes of red light swiftly landed in the battlefield of the Seely Dimension. The arrival of these two uninvited guests brought an effect of emptying an ice bucket over the heads of all Spell Casters outside the Seely Dimension.

It was another two Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies. The Rock Tribe also had six civilization-level prodigies. If that was all, then perhaps the six Spell Casters might still be equally matched.

However, all the Spell Casters knew that the Rock Tribe only needed to gather in groups for five in order to form the terrifying Progenitor's Body!

"On the orders of Progenitor Hanra, kill these six Spell Casters!"

As the voices of the two dark red Rock Creatures fell, the four Rock Creatures trapped in the middle let out a large roar. The dark red light on their bodies covered almost the entire sky.

Under that dark red light, these six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies slowly combine into a terrifying giant, far exceeding the ordinary Legend's Progenitor's Body.

In an instant, the situation spiraled downward. The six civilization-level Spell Casters were caught in extreme danger!

Chapter 628: Willing to Try!

"Crash."

The gigantic Progenitor's Body was covered under the dark red light. An enormous hand, as big as a nimbus cloud covering half the sky, slammed down violently.

All the six Spell Casters wielded their strongest powers and erected six shields before proceeding to add one layer after another for reinforcements. Their abilities were unable to match the Progenitor's Body's height, so they could only add on more layers. It was impossible to avoid the Progenitor's Body's terrifying blow.

"Crack crack."

However, the shields shattered in succession. Despite using all their might, the six civilization-level Wizards could not stop the Progenitor's Body's palm.

Six pieces of shields crumbled like paper as the Progenitor's Body landed directly on the six civilization-level Wizards. As a result, the six civilization-level Wizards were sent flying.

Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney, who stood at the very front, received the full brunt of the Progenitor's Body power. They were instantly crushed, and their auras disappeared.

Two civilization-level Wizards, dead!

The entire battlefield turned silent. The expressions of numerous Spell Casters lined outside the Seely Dimension fell. Who would have thought that, just a moment ago, they were holding the upper hand in an advantageous situation, but suddenly, everything was reversed by the Rock Tribe and directly killed two civilization-level Wizards?

Although the four remaining civilization-level Wizards did not die, they were grievously injured. In addition, the Progenitor's Body did not stop. It stepped forward once again and slammed both hands down. Obviously, it would not stop until it killed the four remaining civilization-level Wizards.

At this time, Arcane Wizard Setoh could no longer sit still. Once the Rock Tribe had sent six civilization-level prodigies, he knew that he had been tricked. This had been planned by Hanra from the beginning in order to kill the six civilization-level prodigies of the Spell Caster civilization.

The civilization-level prodigies played an important role in a war. Moreover, every civilization-level prodigy had unimaginable potential, and at the very least, would become a Great Honored Legend or perhaps even a powerful Lord! How could Wizard Setoh watch them die with his own eyes?

"Hanra, you dare?"

On the sky above the Seely Dimension, a huge apparition of a palm appeared out of nowhere. There seemed to be no trace of any Maxim or element but this palm could destroy everything. Everyone who saw this palm felt a sense of reverence in their hearts, and could not muster any ounce of resistance.

This huge palm grabbed the four remaining civilization-level Wizards. Then, a finger twitched and flicked gently at the gigantic Progenitor's Body.

This was none other than an Ultimate Arcane Wizard. Even the real Progenitor's Body was considered nothing in Wizard Setoh's eyes, let alone the Progenitor's Body formed by a few Ancestor-level Rock Creatures.

"Bang."

A flick of a finger did not destroy the Progenitor's Body. This was because at this time, an immensely huge apparition rose up in the middle of the Seely Dimension, protecting the Progenitor's Body behind it.

This was the real Progenitor's Body!

"Setoh, you want to fight it out?"

The move was made by the Rock Progenitor Hanra. His immense true form emitted a suffocating pressure as he confronted Arcane Wizard Setoh's huge hand in the air.

The two impressive existences had merely released a tiny sliver of their powers. However, the entire Seely Dimension began to shake violently as if unable to withstand the power of these two great existences.

In fact, if an Ultimate Arcane Wizard had acted, none of the dimensions would be able to withstand the attack. Even if they fought in the Void Zone, the aftershocks could destroy countless dimensions.

"Hmph, Hanra, the war has just begun!"

It was clear that Arcane Wizard Setoh was not prepared to launch a civilization war. Therefore, he would not start a battle with Progenitor Hanra here. It was already lucky enough that he was able to save the four remaining civilization-level Wizards.

A cold snort later, Arcane Wizard Setoh's huge apparition palm began to dissipate. A ray of light enclosed the four remaining civilization-level Wizards, and exited the Seely Dimension.

"All of you, come back. I'll send someone else to control the Seely Dimension!"

Progenitor Hanra's body also gradually vanished. Due to the powers of the two ultimate existences, the entire Seely Dimension suffered tremendous damage. It would take hundreds of years for it to recover.

"All Spell Casters, retreat to the Alabaster Dimension!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's voice reverberated in the ears of every Spell Caster, causing many of them to awaken from their stupor. After watching the situation taking a turn for the worse, and hearing Arcane Wizard Setoh's command, there was no lingering doubt. In this first confrontation and first final battle, the Spell Casters had lost!

"We lost, the Seely Dimension is lost, and more than a dozen dimensions at the front line will also be lost…"

The numerous Spell Casters at the front line were extremely depressed. After fighting so many years against the Rock Tribe at the front line, the Spell Casters had lost the final battle to the Rock Tribe.

"Wizard Merlin, we've been temporarily defeated. The Rock Tribe has six civilization-level prodigies whereas we've lost two, and only have four left. Moreover, the Rock Tribe is still able to form the Progenitor's Body. Without the Legends' involvement, there's no more hope for the Spell Casters to win. Let's go, we'll return to the Alabaster Dimension and wait. After this, other than Arcane Wizard Setoh allowing the Legends to fight and launch a civilization war, we have no other options. Unless we're willing to relinquish those dozens of dimensions, and allow the Rock Tribe to become even more aggressive…"

Saturn shook his head in despair. He was the mightiest existence below a Legend, and played a significant role preceding the Legends' involvement as well as had a large impact on the development of the war.

Nevertheless, once a civilization war erupted, and the Great Legends started to intervene, the Great Legends, Honored Legends, and Great Lords all possessed unimaginable destructive powers. A single Maxim could even shatter a dimension.

At that time, Spell Casters below the level of Legends might still prove useful but their impact on the outcome of the war would be significantly reduced.

Merlin took a deep look at the worn-out state of the Seely Dimension. He did not know what would happen next in this war.In Setoh Castle, the four Lords, eighteen Honored Legends, and hundreds of Great Legends were currently silent but the atmosphere was frightfully deafening.

In the main foyer, the four civilization-level Wizards looked ashen.

At last, the last remaining Wizard from the three great Arcane Cities, Wizard Sven, fell to his knees before the main foyer. He gritted his teeth. "Great Wizard Setoh, we were inadequate. We failed to defeat the Rock Tribe and instead, we lost Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney."

Wizard Setoh did not utter a word. A long pause ensued. Then, he shook his hand in a dismissive gesture. "This has nothing to do with you. It was my fault for not thinking it through. All of you get up and stand aside."

These four civilization-level Wizards were also powerless. In the face of a Progenitor's Body formed by six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies, there was no hope of victory.

"Four Lords, what do you think we should do now?"

Wizard Setoh looked at the four Lords before him. They were the strongest existences second only to Setoh at the front line. Each of them could destroy a weaker civilization on their own.

"Wizard Setoh, no one below a Legend can defeat a Progenitor's Body formed by those six Rock Creatures. With more than five civilization-level prodigies, the Rock Tribe is truly formidable. Besides a Legend, I really can't think of anyone who can stand against them. Even if we had ten civilization-level prodigies, I don't think we can win. Unless we also have a few civilization-level prodigies who are proficient in runology and can form a Runic Magic Circle, then we might have a fighting chance!"

The Nightmare Lord said slowly. Like the Blackfire Lord, he was a very ancient Lord who had existed since the Molta Empire. His position was extremely respected in the eyes of all Spell Caster.

"A civilization-level Wizard who is proficient in runology? We don't have a single one, what more a few?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's heart was filled with hesitation. If he allowed the Legends to intervene, it would mean that he was the one who started a brutal civilization war.

The brutality that accompanied a civilization war was well-known to Arcane Wizard Setoh. Previously, all the civilization wars he started were to deal with some weaker civilizations, and mostly ended with genocide.

This time, however, their opponent was the Rock Tribe civilization who had two Rock Progenitors. This was a powerful civilization that was not much inferior to the Spell Caster civilization.

Until it was a last resort, Arcane Wizard would not want to launch a civilization war at all cost.

As for relinquishing the Seely Dimension, Arcane Wizard Setoh did not even consider it for a moment. The Spell Caster civilization had never made any concessions. In addition, if they relinquished the Seely Dimension, hundreds of dimensions would be exposed to the Rock Tribe, which was something the Spell Caster civilization did not want to occur.

The entire foyer fell into a depressed atmosphere."Progenitor, this time we swept a clean victory whereas the Spell Casters hit rock bottom. They'll no longer pose a threat to us!"

In the Rock Tribe dimension, countless powerful Rock Creatures were cheering and celebrating. This time, they had truly defeated the Spell Caster civilization. Currently, there was not a single Spell Caster in the dozens of dimensions at the front line.

This was a momentous victory that was worth celebrating.

However, Progenitor Hanra's expression did not relax. After some time, he let out a long sigh. "All Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, make your preparations. When it's necessary, mobilize the entire Rock Tribe. Setoh and the Spell Caster civilization behind him wouldn't admit defeat easily. Over the past three thousand years, how many wars did you see the Spell Casters lose? Most likely, a civilization war will be erupting!"

"A civilization war?"

Upon mention of this phrase, even the Ancestor-level Rock Tribe descended into silence.The Alabaster Dimension was tightly packed with Spell Casters, almost covering the entire dimension. Nevertheless, all the Spell Casters' moods were quite sunken, not only because they had temporarily lost the battle but more importantly, this defeat might prompt the Ultimate Arcane Wizard to launch a civilization war.

A civilization war was an event that would see continuous losses of Great Legends. Even the Honored Legends were not exempted from its brutality. As for those below a Legend, they were almost considered cannon fodder, and would die by the millions.

Merlin stayed in the Alabaster Dimension the entire day but still, he did not know how the Spell Caster civilization would react. If a decision was made to start a civilization war, that would be the worst-case scenario. Regardless of whether it was the Rock Tribe civilization or the Spell Caster civilization, no one would benefit from it.

"Teacher Zado, as a Great Legend, you must know what's going on, right? Has Arcane Wizard Setoh made a decision?"

Merlin asked Legend Zado's avatar inside his ring. He only had this communication channel left, to find out what was going on in the higher levels of the Spell Caster civilization.

After a moment, Legend Zado's avatar responded but he simply shook his head helplessly. "No decision has been made. The situation is very tricky. No one below a Legend can handle the Progenitor's Body formed by the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies but we also cannot allow the Rock Tribe to obtain the dozens of dimensions at the front line as that would further deteriorate the overall condition of the Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, I'm afraid Wizard Setoh will allow the Legends to intervene, thus launching a civilization war!"

Merlin was stricken. It was truly the worst-case scenario. Wizard Setoh had no other options other than to launch a civilization war.

Merlin thought of the Seely people. Their civilization was reduced to ashes, and their dimension had been completely altered. From millions of Seely people, there were probably less than a thousand people, left to wander among the Spell Caster civilization.

This was the sorrow of a weak civilization!

Ever since Merlin witnessed the struggle of several weak civilizations, he had completely integrated himself with the Spell Caster civilization. The prosperity of the civilization would provide hope for him to become stronger. On the contrary, if the civilization was wiped out, he would not have a future to speak of.

The rise and fall of the Spell Caster civilization were vital to every Spell Caster! This was the reason why the Arcane Wizards and even the plunderers were anxious. Compared to the life and death of the civilization, the previous "evil" of the plunderers were considered insignificant.

"Teacher Zado, a civilization war cannot be started easily. Please, can you pass a message to Arcane Wizard Setoh? I'm willing to face the Progenitor's Body formed by the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies!"

"Huh? You're willing to try?"

Legend Zado raised his head abruptly, his face filled with surprise, feeling like he was meeting Merlin for the first time all over again!

Chapter 629: Eve

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Setoh Castle, the main foyer was tightly packed with numerous Great Legends but everyone was completely silent as they fixed their gazes on Arcane Wizard Setoh up above.

Arcane Wizard Setoh deliberated for a long time, and finally made up his mind. Slowly, he said, "The dozens of dimensions at the front line, we simply cannot give up! All of you, start making preparations. All the Legends will be intervening. Go now…"

"Whoosh."

Before he could finish speaking, a Great Legend below suddenly stood up!

"Arcane Wizard Setoh, I have something to say!"

"Hmm? Legend Zado, do you have a suggestion?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh frowned, not knowing what Legend Zado wanted to say at this juncture.

Legend Zado stood up, and looked around the numerous Great Legends around him. He said in a deep voice, "Great Wizard Setoh, a civilization war cannot be started easily! As for the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies, I have a candidate who's willing to give it a try!"

"You have a candidate?"

Not only Arcane Wizard Setoh was astonished but many other Great Legends gave a skeptical look. Who, beneath a Great Legend, could possibly defeat the Progenitor's Body formed by the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies?

"Yes, he's my disciple as well as the Blackfire Lord's disciple, Merlin!"

Wizard Zado also looked at the Blackfire Lord. Upon hearing the name "Merlin", both the Blackfire Lord and Arcane Wizard Setoh's expressions paled slightly.

"Merlin? How could he possibly defeat the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's expression sunk. Although Merlin was a very powerful Mind Power master, Arcane Wizard Setoh could see from the last battle that Merlin was only equivalent to the mightiest existences below a Legend. Perhaps, due to the uniqueness of Mind Power masters, he might be infinitely close to the existence of a civilization-level prodigy.

However, Merlin had not yet become a real civilization-level prodigy, let alone to defeat the Progenitor's Body formed by six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies.

Legend Zado shook his head and replied, "Great Wizard Setoh, Merlin had just made this request to me. He's willing to try!"

"Blackfire Lord, Merlin is your disciple. What do you think?"

Wizard Setoh turned his gaze toward the Blackfire Lord to seek his opinion. He knew that Merlin occupied a very important position in the Blackfire Lord's heart.

The Blackfire Lord frowned slightly. Ever since he found out that Merlin had managed to develop the Mind Power system to a whole new level, and might probably perfect the Mind Power system, he held even higher regards toward Merlin.

In this civilization war, if it was not necessary, the Blackfire Lord even thought of using his influence to allow Merlin to escape the front lines.

However, since Merlin was the one who had suggested it, the Blackfire Lord felt it was not his position to stop him. So, he nodded. "Let's summon Merlin to ask him. If he's confident, then send him. We should avoid a civilization war as best as we can!"

"Very well. Legend Zado, inform Merlin to come here!"

Legend Zado nodded, and conveyed Arcane Wizard Setoh's message to Merlin via his Maxim Avatar.

"Buzz."

Merlin's ring vibrated again.

"Legend Zado, what's happening?"

Merlin asked anxiously.

"Wizard Setoh is summoning you, come quickly."

Legend Zado's Maxim Avatar said with a smile.

Merlin finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could see Arcane Wizard Setoh, his success was half-guaranteed. Hence, he stood up, and flew toward the castle in the Void Zone."Creak."

The castle gate slowly swung open, and a young Wizard walked in. Countless inquisitive gazes instantly landed on the young Wizard.

There were Great Legends, Honored Legends, and even Lords!

Their gazes quickly revealed a look of disbelief.

"He hasn't become a Great Wizard, and is only a Ninth-level Spell Caster!"

"The name Merlin was once renowned at the front line after a major battle. His Rainbow Squad encountered the Progenitor Squad's ambush. Just as the Rainbow Squad was about to be annihilated, Merlin rose to the occasion, and killed the entire Progenitor Squad alone!"

"The Rock Tribe's Progenitor Squad, upon forming the Progenitor's Body, is somewhat comparable to a Great Legend. How could it be defeated by Merlin alone, who's not even a Great Wizard?"

Many of the Great Legends were amazed. Although they had heard of Merlin before, as Great Legends, they were not overly concerned about those who were below the level of a Legend. At most, they would pay some passing attention.

Most of the Great Legends assumed that Merlin was a Great Wizard but now that they saw that he was only a Ninth-level Spell Caster, they were astounded. Most probably, even the civilization-level prodigies did not possess such formidable strengths when they were still Ninth-level Spell Casters.

The Blackfire Lord and Wizard Setoh, on the other hand, were very calm. They looked at Merlin with an even expression. Despite being subjected under so many Great Legends' scrutiny, Merlin appeared to be unruffled.

"Merlin, do you know how powerful those six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies are?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh asked calmly.

"I know."

"So how confident are you?"

"Fifty percent."

The atmosphere in the main foyer turned silent. Merlin indeed had fifty percent confidence. His Darkness Eye had been cultivated to its seventh form, so he had the power to harm a Great Legend. However, the most critical factor was not Darkness Eye but whether Merlin's Illusory World would be effective.

Titus once mentioned that once the Illusory World was mobilized, an ordinary Legend would not be able to resist it. Furthermore, if Merlin had achieved the Illusion Heart stage, then he would be able to wield the powers of the Illusory World. With that, even Honored Legends could be trapped in the illusion.

Merlin had mobilized the Illusory World before. It could indeed confuse an ordinary Legend. This was also Merlin's biggest confidence. On one hand, the Progenitor's Body formed by the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies was not an ordinary Progenitor's Body, and was also much stronger than an ordinary Legend.

On the other hand, the Progenitor's Body was formed by the six civilization-level prodigies. Merlin's Illusory World would be inflicted on the six civilization-level prodigies. Whether it was one or six persons, it did not make a difference to Merlin. The power of Hallucinating spells affected the "heart" or in other words, the Mind Power.

This was Merlin's biggest confidence!

"Merlin, that Progenitor's Body is like no other. Are you really sure?"

The question came from the Blackfire King, who was watching Merlin carefully.

"Teacher, I have decided! A civilization war cannot be started easily. Let me give it a try. If I succeed, we'll gain the upper hand, and pass the ball into the Rock Tribe's court. If they dare not launch the civilization war, they'll retreat. If I don't succeed, then it's still not too late for Wizard Setoh to launch a civilization war!"

Merlin's voice did not waver at all. He appeared exceedingly calm.

"Blackfire Lord, what do you think?"

Wizard Setoh asked softly.

The Blackfire Lord closed his eyes and nodded. "Merlin is right. Let him go. A fifty percent chance is worth a try!"

"Very well!"

Wizard Setoh stood up, and said to Merlin. "You should prepare for a few days. Regardless of success or failure, we cannot lose the Seely Dimension!"

Merlin's heart thumped. He knew that Wizard Setoh had made up his mind. If Merlin failed, a brutal civilization war would be inevitable.In the castle, all the Legends had left. They had been instructed to make preparations for a civilization war. Merlin only had one attempt. If he lost, Wizard Setoh would not allow the Rock Tribe to occupy the Seely Dimension continuously.

"Merlin!"

The Blackfire Lord was looking at Merlin with a complicated expression.

"Do you know how dangerous this is going to be?"

Merlin smiled at him. "Teacher, if a civilization erupts, do you think I'll be safe then? At that time, even the Great Legends will die, what more me?"

"That's not the same. This time, if you lose, it's inherently dangerous. However, even if you win, it'll also be extremely dangerous. The Rock Tribe's Progenitor Hanra might turn humiliation into fury, and attack you directly."

The Blackfire Lord could not help but remind Merlin.

"Arcane Wizard Setoh will make precautions for that, right? There's nothing for me to be afraid of."

Merlin's face displayed a grin. Although his tone was unperturbed, Merlin knew that the Blackfire Lord's words were not to be ignored. No matter how prepared Arcane Wizard Setoh was, just a moment's delay was enough for Progenitor Hanra to annihilate Merlin.

So, win or lose, Merlin was destined to be in danger.

"Very well, since you've decided and things have progressed to this stage, we can't change it anymore. In these few days, you should make preparations. If you really can't win, then retreat at once. Arcane Wizard Setoh will immediately allow the Great Legends to intervene and launch a civilization war!"

Merlin nodded. As he had guessed, Arcane Wizard Setoh was indeed prepared to launch a civilization war.

Subsequently, after the Blackfire Lord left, Merlin retrieved the illusion bead from his ring. A Mind Power Projection swiftly entered the illusion bead.

"Titus!"

Merlin's Mind Power vibrated in the Illusory World. He knew that Titus would be able to feel it.

"Wizard Merlin, you've decided to fight the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies?"

"Yes, and Arcane Wizard Setoh has agreed to it!"

Titus fell silent, a hint of helplessness on his face.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "The Illusory World is powerful but your Mind Power isn't strong enough, and can only hold it for a short time. Even if you're somehow able to confuse the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies, do you have a chance to defeat them?"

"I'll give it a try."

Titus did not know that Merlin had cultivated Darkness Eye. Nonetheless, even Merlin himself was not sure whether the seventh form of Darkness Eye was enough to defeat the Progenitor's Body formed by the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies.

"If you can achieve the enlightenment on the Illusory Heart, then what are six civilization-level prodigies? Use this time and devote yourself to understand the Illusory Heart. I'll help you!"

Titus said with gritted teeth.

A smile appeared on Merlin's face. He nodded. "I was thinking that as well. If I can achieve the enlightenment of the Illusory Heart, then there's nothing I need to worry about."

Nevertheless, both Merlin and Titus knew that the chances of Merlin achieving the enlightenment on the Illusory Heart in such a short period were close to none. All they could do now was try.

Hence, with Titus' help, Merlin devoted all his energy into understanding the Illusory Heart.

Chapter 630: Merlin In Battle!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seven days later, throngs of Spell Casters gathered outside the Seely Dimension once again. In particular, there were more than a hundred Great Legends, eighteen Honored Legends, and even four Great Lords.

On the other side of the Seely Dimension was a great number of members of the Rock Tribe. There were likewise countless Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. Both sides were silently waiting in this manner. The atmosphere was tense as if on the verge of eruption.

"Progenitor Hanra, these Spell Casters have really decided to start a civilization war?"

Behind Progenitor Hanra, one of the six civilization-level prodigies, Aroyo, questioned softly. They had been in this standoff for a few hours but there had been no further developments. The oppressive mood was dreadful.

Progenitor Hanra shook his head slightly. "We don't know what will happen. Even the mightiest beings are unable to predict the future because every moment of the future is constantly shifting… No matter if Setoh begins a civilization war, we mustn't let down our guard, so be prepared!"

As soon as he spoke, there was a commotion at the Spell Casters' side. A young figure slowly walked out from the crowd, and instantly flew into the Seely Dimension.

"It's not a Legend?"

"Progenitor Hanra, that Wizard seems to be Merlin who had vanquished the Progenitor Squad in the Seely Dimension!"

Some of the Rock Creatures had recognized that young figure.

"Merlin? Back then, the Progenitor Squad was sent to confront the Rainbow Squad. At first, they hoped to make a name for themselves in that battle and control the Seely Dimension but unexpectedly, they were defeated by an unknown young Wizard. So, it's him? Hehe, Setoh has run out of ideas. This might be his last resort but he's still doomed to lose. A young fellow who hasn't even reached civilization-level – can he turn things around? Aroyo, all six of you, go on. This might be the final fight. If this Merlin is killed, a civilization war is likely to erupt. For the sake of our tribe's survival and growth, we won't back down from even a ruthless civilization war!"

Progenitor Hanra's tone revealed an incomparable determination!

Therefore, Aroyo led the five other civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe, and quickly flew into the Seely Dimension."Someone has entered the Seely Dimension. Which civilization-level Wizard is that?"

"It doesn't seem to be a civilization-level Wizard. This one's named Merlin. Back then, he became famous due to a battle in the Seely Dimension. He wiped out the Progenitor Squad of the Rock Tribe in one move! Nonetheless, I've heard that Wizard Merlin is merely the mightiest existence below Legends. He hasn't even reached civilization-level. How come he dares to face the six civilization-level geniuses of the Rock Tribe alone?"

At this moment, Spell Casters who did not know about Merlin were inquiring about him. Soon enough, they knew some facts about Merlin but the one thing they had heard the most was how Merlin had defeated the Progenitor Squad.

However, although the Progenitor Squad was impressive, a civilization-level Wizard could easily defeat them too. It must be known that this time, Merlin was facing six civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe.

"It looks like Wizard Merlin. He's actually going to take on the six civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe by himself?"

Those in the Rainbow Squad were unmatched in their astonishment when they spotted Merlin at this moment. They had known Merlin for so long, and were familiar with him long ago.

Nevertheless, it was only now that the members of the Rainbow Squad realized, with a shock, that this figure was so foreign to them. They had never truly understood Merlin.

"Blackfire, do you think Merlin stands a chance?"

Wizard Setoh was also keeping an eye on this unequal match in the Seely Dimension.

"Chance? Perhaps. How many miracles have the Spell Caster civilization produced in three thousand years? Not even we would know… To grow from being weak in three thousand years to reach the formidable stage we're at today, is there any miracle that's impossible?"

A smile tugged at the corner of the Blackfire Lord's mouth.

"That's right, a miracle! Our Spell Caster civilization has never lost before. Even if it's a civilization war, we'll surely seize the final victory! Four Great Lords are all prepared. If Merlin loses, you'll act instantly. This time, we mustn't just attack. It must be our greatest attack. Besides me, who mustn't interfere, the four Great Lords and all of the Great Legends must attack and chase the Rock Tribe back to their old nest!"

The Arcane Wizard Setoh's voice rang clearly in the ears of every Great Legend. Everyone trembled inwardly as a tense atmosphere gradually spread…

"Swish."

Merlin flew into the Seely Dimension, and lightly shut his eyes. His Mind Power extended outward as he probed for the Elemental Origin of the Seely Dimension. It was just a shame that the Seely Dimension had been remodeled, and had no Elemental Origin left. According to the standards of Spell Casters, it had become a barren dimension.

The Rock Tribe was a strange civilization. Their remodeling of a dimension was equivalent to destruction. No matter the Giant Tribe or the Tree Tribe, all of them required dimensions with a Dimension Core. This included the Spell Casters, who were a living race as well. They all belonged to a civilization founded by living creatures.

Nevertheless, the Rock Tribe was different. They were icy cold Rock Creatures with no trace of life. Any dimension they had was icy cold, and incomparably desolate as well.

The Seely Dimension, for instance, was now completely transformed into an icy cold world. This dimension had lost its Elemental Origin, and could be considered a "dead" dimension.

However, such a dimension had immense benefits for the Rock Tribe.

"They're coming!"

Merlin's Mind Power quickly sensed that there were six figures approaching him. These figures were chilly as ice without a trace of a life force. It was easy to discern their identities as Rock Creatures.

Aroyo led the five other civilization-level prodigies forward but they were not underestimating Merlin at all. Instead, they appeared cautious, and immediately formed the Progenitor's Body while they were still a good distance away from Merlin.

"Boom."

The gigantic Progenitor's Body landed, and crashed heavily into the ground, causing the ground to quake.

"Hallucinate!"

Merlin's shapeless and soundless Mind Power quickly wrapped around the massive Progenitor's Body. The six civilization-level prodigies who made up the Progenitor's Body could feel a strange force influencing their thoughts.

"A Hallucinating spell? Progenitor Hanra had told us before that Merlin is a rather extraordinary Mind Power Master of the Spell Caster civilization, able to create various Hallucinating spells. Back then, the Progenitor Squad was defeated in one blow thanks to his Hallucinating spell. Nonetheless, his Hallucinating spell might be effective against the Progenitor Squad but it's still far from being a match for us!"

Aroyo instantly recalled Progenitor Hanra's warning, and knew that Merlin was wielding his Hallucinating spell. However, they were civilization-level prodigies comparable to Great Legends, and would not be affected by Merlin's third-stage Hallucinating spell.

Thus, the humongous Progenitor's Body raised one huge hand and dashed forward suddenly. The gigantic palm was just like a mountain that crashed down instantly.

Merlin did not dawdle and swiftly retreated but the descending speed of that giant palm was too fast. Merlin hesitated no longer, and four types of spell emerged around him.

Merlin gently mixed them, and the four spells promptly fused together. Moreover, they were incessantly condensed. Following that, Merlin waved his hand, and countless balls of this spell fusion immediately flew toward the Progenitor's Body's giant palm.

"Bang bang bang."

Faced with this spell fusion, the massive Progenitor's Body did not dodge at all, and instead brandished its hand to meet the spells head-on. It vigorously smashed the balls of spell fusion.

Although the spells created a fiery explosion each time they dispersed, their influence against the Progenitor's Body's defense was very limited. Conversely, Merlin's Magic Power was greatly consumed. He could not afford to sustain such a high-level battle.

Within this first exchange of blows, Merlin already felt immense pressure. An invisible force seemed to press on from all sides. His Hallucinating spell could not affect his opponent, and his spell fusion was ineffective too. Naturally, Merlin was at a disadvantage.

Merlin's position was even more precarious now, and no one was able to have much hope in him.

"It looks like he won't pull this off… Blackfire Lord, Arctic Lord, Sorrow Lord, Nightmare Lord, all four of you Great Lords, get ready."

The Arcane Wizard Setoh's voice sounded in the ears of the four Great Lords. Instantly, the Legendary teams commanded by each of the four Great Lords inched forward silently. Their target was not just the Seely Dimension but to also breach the dimensions behind the Rock Tribe in one swift move. In this manner, they would firmly suppress the Rock Tribe in the Rock Creatures' own dimensions, then chase them back to their old nest.

"Darkness Eye!"

A sharp voice suddenly pierced through the Seely Dimension. Soon, behind Merlin, who had been losing ground, and was in imminent danger, a gigantic crimson eye appeared.

"The seventh form Darkness Eye?"

All the Great Legends who were present recognized Darkness Eye of the Legend of Darkness. This time, although the Legend of Darkness had not come to the front lines, many Great Legends had the utmost familiarity with his Darkness Eye.

"This is Merlin's trump card?"

A helpless expression crossed the Arcane Wizard Setoh's face as he shook his head. He no longer had any hope in Merlin. If one could rely upon the seventh form of Darkness Eye to defeat the civilization-level prodigies, then he would have asked the Legend of Darkness to send his troop of puppets long ago.

"Hold on, it doesn't seem to be just that. The Progenitor's Body has stopped in its tracks?"

The Blackfire Lord raised a hand, and the other Great Lords halted immediately. Even the Arcane Wizard Setoh looked toward the Seely Dimension once again.

Presently, the formidable Progenitor's Body was now just like a statue, without even the slightest twitch. This was clearly juxtaposed against the giant blood-red eye that was becoming clearer behind Merlin.

"Haha, Merlin, you've done it! The Illusory World has caught the six civilization-level prodigies in the illusion. Hurry, now's the best chance to defeat the Progenitor's Body!"

Within the illusion bead, Titus could not help but yell in excitement.

"Silencing Ray!"

Merlin's gaze was icy cold, having formed the seventh form of Darkness Eye long before. The terrifying giant crimson eye that had materialized behind Merlin fired a heavy beam of blood-red light, which followed Merlin's finger. Space in the Seely Dimension was annihilated.

"Boom."

In the blink of an eye, Silencing Ray had crashed into the Progenitor's Body that was caught in the illusion and thus, was totally defenseless. Instantly, the huge sweep of crimson light exploded, submerging the gigantic frame of the Progenitor's Body…

Chapter 631: Mind Avatar

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"He has won?"

Many Spell Casters were still rather stunned because Merlin had turned around the situation to gain an upper hand. The speed by which this took place was so fast that many were unable to even respond.

However, even if they still had not responded, a smirk had already appeared on Merlin's face.

"Crack."

In the blood-red light, that gigantic Progenitor's Body began to exhibit cracks all over. Following that, it collapsed instantly just like toy blocks that were stacked high!

Under the double assault of Merlin's Illusory World and Silencing Ray, he had finally defeated the Progenitor's Body formed by the six civilization-level prodigies. After the Progenitor's Body was destroyed, the bodies of the six civilization-level prodigies were revealed.

They were still alive. After all, Merlin's Silencing Ray was not powerful enough. It could only disintegrate the Progenitor's Body in its defenseless state, and had not slain those civilization-level prodigies. However, it was enough to injure them grievously.

"Silencing Ray!"

Merlin did not stop but instead acted swiftly. The giant crimson eye behind Merlin shot out another beam of blood-red light, which sped toward the six civilization-level prodigies. This might be Merlin's final chance.

"D*mn wretch, you dare to do that?"

A giant Progenitor's Body landed in the Seely Dimension. Progenitor Hanra had now directly gotten involved. He had never imagined that the six civilization-level prodigies would fail at the hands of a Spell Caster who was not even a Legend.

A suffocating force washed over Merlin, and he seemed to hear the furious cries of Titus in the illusion bead. Nonetheless, he was incapable of moving. Before the Progenitor Hanra, even moving an inch was a futile hope.

"Haha, Hanra, if you wish to fight, I'll join you!"

The Arcane Wizard Setoh who had been ready to start a civilization war long ago sent forth his force as well, clashing resolutely against Progenitor Hanra. Instantly, the Seely Dimension rocked heavily as the ground split apart, being on the verge of collapse.

Nevertheless, Merlin had recovered his freedom of movement, and promptly flew out of the Seely Dimension. As he left, he glanced behind him. Under the second attack of Silencing Ray, the six civilization-level prodigies were not so lucky this time. Four of them died instantly, leaving only two others who had escaped by luck.

Merlin relaxed slightly. With only two civilization-level prodigies left, it would be impossible for the Rock Tribe to take over the ten or so dimensions at the front lines without starting a civilization war.

After Merlin had gone, the entire Seely Dimension was left only with the forces of Progenitor Hanra and the Arcane Wizard Setoh in a standoff. Both were evenly matched, and the slightest leak of their powers was enough to destroy the Seely Dimension.

The Arcane Wizard Setoh was in high spirits as he laughed. "Hanra, if you wish for the Seely Dimension and the ten or so dimensions at the frontlines to be annihilated, then let's fight. However, the Rock Tribe's dimensions behind you will no longer be safe!"

Only a tiny portion of Wizard Setoh's and Progenitor Hanra's power had landed but the Seely Dimension was almost unable to stand it anymore. If both fought, one could forget about ten or so dimensions. In fact, over a thousand dimensions would be completely wiped out.

Progenitor Hanra glared icily at Wizard Setoh, his eyes filled with fury. The Rock Tribe had taken so many years to cultivate the six civilization-level prodigies but now, there were only two left.

This was a disastrous loss! More importantly, if the Rock Tribe did not start a civilization war after losing four civilization-level prodigies, the Spell Casters would have the upper hand. Within a short time, the Rock Tribe civilization would not stand a chance.

Nonetheless, not even Progenitor Hanra could simply just start a civilization war!

"Retreat!"

In the end, Progenitor Hanra did not immediately begin the civilization war, and left.

This one battle had thrust Merlin's name over the civilization-level Wizards. By himself, he had vanquished the Progenitor's Body formed by six civilization-level Rock Creatures. Such a heroic feat could only be described as a miracle.

"Merlin, your name will be known throughout the lands!"

The Blackfire Lord was overjoyed. He had been the one to hand over the cultivation method of the seventh form of Darkness Eye to Merlin. Now that it had served such a great function, he was gratified.

Nonetheless, he was somewhat puzzled, and questioned in a low voice, "Merlin, earlier, that Progenitor's Body didn't move at all. Was it caught in your illusion?"

Merlin glanced at the Blackfire Lord and knew that he could not hide the truth. However, the Illusory World was linked to Titus and the Mind Power system, so Merlin must not let him know about the Illusory World.

Merlin could only nod in response. "Teacher Blackfire, perhaps it was because those civilization-level Rock Creatures weren't Mind Power Masters, and even though they were civilization-level, they're ultimately not Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. Therefore, my Hallucinating spell was able to affect them. This is one of the reasons I volunteered to go against the six civilization-level prodigies. Although it was risky, fortunately, I've succeeded in the end!"

The Blackfire Lord thought about it carefully. This seemed to be the only explanation, and he could not help but sigh in relief. He said slowly, "Merlin, next time, don't be so reckless. Luckily, this experience was only a nasty scare without any fatalities. Let's go into the castle and see what the Great Legends suggest. If the Rock Tribe doesn't wish to cause a civilization war, then our fight ends here."

"End?"

Merlin had different reasoning. This war was stirred up by the Rock Tribe. They would not possibly give up after suffering such a great loss.

Still, whether the Rock Tribe would ultimately begin a civilization war was something Merlin could not guarantee.

"Merlin, come into the Illusory World quickly."

Titus' voice sounded in Merlin's ear.

Merlin was currently following the team of Legends, flying toward Wizard Setoh's castle in the Void Zone. Thus, it was not convenient for him to take out the illusion bead. He could only send a Mind Power Projection into the Illusory World.

"Titus, what's the matter?"

Before Merlin's projection, a figure gradually formed. It was Titus.

However, the present Titus appeared rather taciturn. He stared at Merlin without uttering a single word.

"What do you want to say?"

Merlin felt that Titus was behaving strangely, and his voice was somber.

It was a long while before Titus spoke, "Merlin, a civilization war might erupt soon. You'll encounter more dangers like the one you've just gone through, and you won't be so lucky each time."

Merlin knew that Titus was speaking the truth. If a civilization war truly occurred, even Great Legends would die one after another, let alone Merlin.

Furthermore, now that he had killed four civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe, he would surely be targeted by the Rock Tribe. If a civilization war erupted, his position would become even more precarious.

"What's your plan?"

Merlin raised his head, and looked at Titus. He knew that Titus would not say all of this for no reason.

Titus let out a long sigh. "Initially, I had wanted to set out a proper time to tell you in detail but the situation is tense now, so never mind. I've learned the Illusory Heart, and while I was consolidating the Illusory World, though I didn't succeed, I managed to learn an avatar technique. You can transfigure another illusion bead, which is simple enough. You just need to know a little alchemy. It's just that the materials are rather unique but you must find a way to transfigure the next illusion bead. Then, I'll help you separate a third of the Illusory World's strength, and move it into the second illusion bead. Next, you'll send in a burst of Mind Power. In this manner, you can create a Mind avatar of your own."

"Mind avatar? What for?"

Merlin had only heard of spatial avatar, wind avatar, and so on but all these were categorized as Maxim avatars. The Legend Zado and the Arcane Wizard Setoh were both able to form these avatars.

However, it was the first time Merlin had heard of the Mind avatar.

"To save your life!"

Titus said coldly, "A Mind avatar can replace you and die in your place during the most perilous times! As a third of the Illusory World has been used to consolidate the Mind avatar, once it's employed, not even an Honored Legend would be able to tell the difference. Therefore, in times of danger, your Mind avatar could be passed off as your true self. Even the force would be the same. Who will suspect anything?"

Merlin was astounded. He knew that Titus had been fearsome back when he was in the Slothful Beast world. To be able to reach the stage where one could create an Illusory World was frightening indeed.

However, he had never thought that there would be such a wondrous technique, able to replace Merlin in times of great danger. This was equivalent to Merlin having a second life. Even the Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar only had formidable powers but was unable to replace Arcane Wizard Setoh himself in a dangerous moment.

Such a technique was beyond the realm of knowledge of Spell Casters.

Upon seeing Merlin's astonished expression, Titus laughed coldly. "Merlin, you should know how terrifying Mind Power Masters can be. Hallucinating spells alone often have surprising results. If one achieves the Illusory Heart and controls an enemy's spirit, that would be truly frightening! Nonetheless, besides Hallucinating spells, Mind Power Masters have plenty of other tricks. It was just that back then, I was focused on creating the Illusory World, and didn't explore the various Mind Power techniques so much."

Merlin could now imagine the Mind Power system as a blank piece of paper. He was free to draw as he liked, and all sorts of miraculous techniques might appear.

For instance, among Spell Casters, there were alchemy, runology, potions, and so on. If the Mind Power system was perfected, it would not lose to the Spell Caster system in the slightest. It might even be more powerful and unfathomable. If Merlin had studied this meticulously, there would be no end of techniques on par with Titus' Mind avatar.

"The Mind avatar requires a third of the Illusory World. Won't this affect the Illusory World?"

Merlin was currently relying upon the strength of the Illusory World and was thus concerned about this matter.

Titus wore a powerless look as he nodded. "Of course, the power of an Illusory World that has lost one-third of itself would definitely decline a little. As you yourself are unable to mobilize the full strength of the Illusory World, this missing third won't affect you much for now. You'd better gather the materials quickly, and transfigure this Mind avatar before the civilization war starts!"

Following that, Titus' figure vanished without a trace. In addition, Merlin's Mind Power instantly received the specific steps of transfiguring a Mind avatar, which Titus had transmitted to him.

"Merlin, come in as well."

The Blackfire Lord's voice rang beside Merlin's ear. Merlin raised his head, and saw that they had already arrived at the Arcane Wizard Setoh's castle. All those who could enter the castle were Great Legends at least.

Due to Merlin's exceptional performance, his abilities were not inferior to most Great Legends. Naturally, he was qualified to enter the castle.

Merlin nodded, and entered the castle along with many other Great Legends. Nevertheless, his focus was on the specific steps of transfiguring a Mind avatar that Titus had given him, which were now occupying his mind.

To transfigure a Mind avatar, one must have an illusion bead. Transfiguring this illusion bead was not complicated but its materials were difficult to find. Moreover, there had to be at least more than a thousand types of materials, making Merlin feel a sense of hopelessness.

"It requires so many materials, and I'm at the front lines. Where am I supposed to get these?"

Merlin knew that transfiguring a Mind avatar was something he must not put off any longer but he was at the front lines now, and had no way of leaving. He could only wait for the discussion to end before he head to the Alabaster Dimension, and searched carefully for the materials.

In the large hall of the castle, four Great Lords, eighteen Honored Legends, and over a hundred Great Legends all gathered under one roof. They assembled in the hall, which was filled with a joyous mood.

In particular, Merlin had also appeared in the hall. His appearance had made many Great Legends looked at him. Up until now, they still found it unbelievable that Merlin had defeated the six civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe. Moreover, those prodigies had combined into an even more formidable Progenitor's Body.

Although it was difficult to believe, they had previously witnessed this miracle with their own eyes, and they did not doubt its veracity.

"O' Great Wizard Setoh, we owe much to Wizard Merlin this time. Four civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe are dead now, and they're no longer able to form the Progenitor's Body. Even in terms of the number of civilization-level prodigies, we're comfortably ahead of the Rock Tribe. Furthermore, we still have Wizard Merlin. With him, no Rock Creature below a Legend would be able to stand up against us! Therefore, we're prepared for the Rock Tribe to start a civilization war."

One of the Honored Legends, who was granted the title "Tempest", said calmly.

The initially elated mood of the Spell Casters subsided upon hearing this. The civilization war that the Legend Tempest had mentioned, if the Rock Tribe truly had no other way, they might really start a civilization war.

The Arcane Wizard Setoh smiled. "No matter, it's not as if we're unprepared. Even if the Rock Tribe wants to start a civilization war, so what? We have four Great Lords, eighteen Honored Legends, and more than a hundred Great Legends. Our forces are mighty. Even if there's a civilization war, we're not inferior to them. The only worry is that the Ancestor-level existences of the Rock Tribe can form into the Progenitor's Body. That would be somewhat troublesome, that's all."

The Rock Tribe had relied on the Progenitor's Body to cause the Spell Caster civilization quite a headache. If there were beings who were Ancestor-level, the Progenitor's Body they formed would have rather terrifying might.

However, there was a limit to the Progenitor's Body as well. At most, it could reach the level of an Honored Legend. After all, the Progenitor's Body's complete strength could only be unleashed by a Progenitor.

"The Progenitor's Body is actually not that scary. Our Spell Caster civilization which has three-thousand-year heritage, is even more powerful than other foreign civilizations with ten thousand years of heritage. If a civilization war were to erupt, our Great Lords and Honored Legends would outnumber the Rock Tribe. Humph, we have the upper hand!"

"That's right. This time, the Rock Tribe had schemed to hide four of their civilization-level prodigies, then attack suddenly. They hoped to 'gain' an advantage, but luckily, we have Wizard Merlin. Even before a civilization war has started, we're currently winning."

These Great Legends knew very well that, in this war between the Rock Tribe and the Spell Casters, Merlin was a key factor. If they did not have Merlin, it would be the Spell Casters who were fretting now.

Now that Merlin had shown up, the Rock Tribe was faced with two difficult options. Besides starting a civilization war, they could only give up on their plan to continue this war with the Spell Caster civilization for now.

"Alright, no matter what the Rock Tribe decides, we mustn't let down our guard. Even if a civilization war erupts, I firmly believe that victory will be ours!"

After the Arcane Wizard Setoh had spoken, many Great Legends took their leave to make preparations. Just as Merlin was about to leave, he was called out by the Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"Wizard Merlin."

At the moment, there was only the Arcane Wizard Setoh and the Blackfire Lord in the main foyer.

"Wizard Setoh, Teacher Blackfire, what are your orders?"

Merlin looked at Wizard Setoh hesitantly. He was just about to head to the Alabaster Dimension to search for the many precious materials required to transfigure the illusion bead.

"Merlin, you exerted yourself significantly to save us from a crisis, and defeated six civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe in one fell swoop, even killing four. You've practically turned around the entire situation of the war. With such a tremendous contribution, how can I, as the commander of the frontlines, let this go unrewarded? Speak – what do you want?"

"Reward?"

Merlin was slightly taken aback. He did not think that he would get any reward, but now that he thought about it, he did save the day all by himself. Otherwise, the Arcane Wizard Setoh would have already started a civilization war by now.

"There's nothing that I really want…"

As soon as the words were out, Merlin stopped himself. After some hesitation, he asked, "If I say that I need them, can Wizard Setoh give me some alchemy materials?"

Merlin had remembered about the illusion bead. According to Titus' list, transfiguring an illusion bead was not at all complex. Instead, it was quite simple.

However, the tough part was in the materials it needed. There were too many, and it was complicated, for there were more than a thousand types of materials. Even if one had bought them, one might not be able to collect everything. Moreover, they were at the front lines, and Merlin was not certain that he would be able to obtain the necessary materials in the Alabaster Dimension to transfigure the illusion bead.

However, now that Wizard Setoh wanted to reward him, naturally Merlin would make the materials of transfiguring the illusion bead his priority.

"Come, let me see – what alchemy materials?"

Wizard Setoh appeared unruffled, following which Merlin listed out the items, all of which were alchemy materials needed to transfigure an illusion bead. As Merlin was not familiar with alchemy, he did not know which of these materials were considered precious.

Merlin kept his eye on Wizard Setoh's face. At first, Wizard Setoh wore a calm expression. Then, it turned more and more puzzled. After looking at the list, Wizard Setoh shook his head.

Merlin said helplessly, "Wizard Setoh, there are quite a lot of materials. If you really don't have them, I'll find some other way."

Based on Wizard Setoh's expression, Merlin did not have much hope.

"Wizard Merlin, I don't mean that I don't have the materials. It's just because the things you've listed, despite making up a varied assortment that includes more than a thousand alchemy materials, are mostly very common materials. There are only a few which are relatively precious, but they're not extraordinarily rare either. I can give you these materials right now."

Following that, Wizard Setoh promptly retrieved a ring, and tossed it to Merlin.

Merlin was pleased beyond his expectations. After receiving the ring, he looked through it briefly. It was filled to the brim with various alchemy materials. Although he did not examine them carefully, Wizard Setoh would definitely not make any mistakes.

"Thank you very much, Wizard Setoh!"

Merlin felt a burst of glee. With these materials, he could even transfigure the illusion bead right away and thus transfigure his Mind avatar.

"Just these materials? They're not much of a reward. Merlin, tell me, what else do you want?"

Wizard Setoh asked Merlin again.

Nonetheless, Merlin was in a hurry to head to the Alabaster Dimension to transfigure his Mind avatar. What other rewards would he want? Currently, any casting tool or potion was of no use to him. There was nothing that would attract Merlin.

Seeing that Merlin said nothing, the Blackfire Lord laughed. "Merlin, be rest assured. Of course, Wizard Setoh has something good to give you."

"Something good?"

Merlin did not know what else could possibly attract him.

Wizard Setoh shook his head somewhat powerlessly. "Merlin, by now, I guess that you won't be interested in any casting tool, potion, and such things. This time, you've turned the situation around, and made an immense contribution. Naturally, I'll reward you!"

After a pause, Wizard Setoh's expression turned serious, and he said gruffly, "Merlin, the future is uncertain for every moment is constantly fluctuating. Now, you've only just begun to attempt fusing Spell Models. At the moment, you've condensed six Wizard Hearts. However, you should already have more than thirty Perfect-grade spells. In the history of the Spell Caster civilization, you have the most Perfect-grade spells. Even the Seven-Elemental Wizard Nelar didn't have as many Perfect-grade spells as you."

Merlin nodded. There was no way to fool Wizard Setoh. His spells, from the Fourth-level onward, were derived by the Matrix, so they were all Perfect-grade. In total, he had thirty-six Perfect-grade spells.

"Merlin, the more Perfect-grade spells you have, other than having higher compatibility, most Perfect-grade spells have greater power as well. For you to fuse your Six-Elemental spells, and become a Great Wizard is something rather difficult."

Merlin lifted his gaze to look at Wizard Setoh. It was true that it would be challenging for him to fuse the spells but he did not know why Wizard Setoh would bring this up.

Wizard Setoh laughed and continued. "This time, you did us a great service. I'll personally lend you a helping hand! The future is filled with unlimited possibilities. Since that's the case, I'll bring you to see these unlimited possibilities of the future!"

"Unlimited possibilities?"

Merlin did not even know what Wizard Setoh was referring to but Wizard Setoh immediately waved a hand, and mysterious energy blanketed Merlin.

"Don't resist, just relax. Look upon this issue from an observer's perspective. You'll see the various possibilities that will arise from your fusion of your Spell Models. Perhaps one of these will be your future."

Thereafter, Merlin was astonished to feel that the six Spell Hearts in his body seemed to be out of his control. They were beginning to merge gradually…

Chapter 633: Unlimited Possibilities

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin's Fire-type Wizard Heart and Thunder-type Wizard Heart started to draw together slowly, and even fused gradually. Merlin could clearly tell that this was not an illusion! At least, with his current Mind Power, there was no Hallucinating spell which could trap him without him realizing it.

As for the Wizard Hearts in his body, Merlin sensed that they were incomparably real, only he was unable to control them. He could only watch powerlessly as the two Wizard Hearts slowly converged.

This was an undeniably true sensation. In his initial plan, he had decided to first fuse the Fire-type and Thunder-type Wizard Hearts as well. After all, his first spell fusion was between these two types.

The present situation was consistent with what Merlin had wanted.

After the Fire-type and Thunder-type Wizard Hearts were slowly fused, Merlin's attention was focused. This was a very authentic feeling, just as if he had truly fused these two types of Wizard Hearts together.

"Hiss."

As soon as they touched, the Fire-type and Thunder-type Wizard Hearts began to vibrate violently. Moreover, the deeper their contact, the more they became restless.

"Ka-cha."

Following that, a crack appeared. Cracks then emerged on both Wizard Hearts, swiftly growing to all sides. Soon enough, the Elements were in agitation, as if on the verge of explosion.

"Stop, stop now!"

Merlin seemed to sense the force of death but he was powerless. When his two Wizard Hearts tried to separate, it was already too late.

"Boom."

A huge shockwave from the explosion immediately triggered the other Wizard Hearts in his body, which rapidly exploded as well. This resulted in Merlin being blown to smithereens.

"Am I dead?"

Merlin's consciousness was very alert but he had just seen for himself how he had exploded into pieces because of his failure in fusing the Spell Models. However, his consciousness was still wide-awake, which meant he was not yet dead.

"Buzz."

Very soon, the environment changed, and Merlin materialized once again. Nonetheless, this time, Merlin had decided to first fuse his Ice-type and Wind-type Wizard Hearts.

This fusion was just like the last. Merlin felt that it was incredibly real, and could not sense any traces of a Hallucinating spell. Still, the result of the fusion was collapse once again, and Merlin died.

Therefore, in the next attempt, Merlin tried to fuse his Fire-type and Earth-type Wizard Hearts, and it ended in failure too. However, this time, it was only Merlin's Wizard Hearts that collapsed, and Merlin became a Normie.

Again and again, Merlin seemed to be reincarnated over and over. This was totally different from the Hallucinating spells he had experienced before.

"What's really going on?"

Merlin looked around him. He seemed to be always trapped in another Merlin's body, acutely experiencing the spell fusion of this other Merlin. This feeling was not any different from when he had tried to fuse spells himself.

"Merlin, this is your future! To be more accurate, it's one of your futures because the future holds endless possibilities, all sorts of possibilities. Your future might very well be one of these… Although the future can't be predicted, not even by the mightiest existences, I can roughly reveal to you the unlimited possibilities of your future. Take this time to understand them well. This might be crucial to your future success in fusing the Spell Models!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in Merlin's ears. It was the Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"Unlimited possibilities?"

Merlin was astounded. These were futures extrapolated by the Arcane Wizard Setoh for Merlin, not a Hallucinating spell. In other words, each time "Merlin" tried to fuse the spells, it was actually a real experience.

It was just that this was only one of Merlin's futures. The future was uncertain for every moment was in constant change but the Arcane Wizard was able to display these variations of the future before Merlin's eyes, allowing him to wordlessly experience the various possibilities of fusing his Spell Models.

An opportunity like this could only be encountered once in a blue moon!

Following that, the Arcane Wizard Setoh's voice no longer appeared, and Merlin was thoroughly immersed in the unlimited possibilities of his future, just as if he himself had fused the Spell Models.

Again and again, almost every attempt ended in failure. At last, when he fused the Fire-type and Earth-type Wizard Hearts once, he succeeded!

Nonetheless, this was merely a lucky fluke. Through his innumerable failures, Merlin had realized many things. If he really were to fuse his Spell Models in the future, at least he would not repeat the same mistakes.

"Awaken!"

After an unknown period of time, Merlin opened his eyes to discover that he was still in the foyer of the castle. Above him were Wizard Setoh and the Blackfire Lord.

Merlin hurriedly bowed toward Wizard Setoh. "My gratitude to Wizard Setoh's assistance in letting me see the endless possibilities of the future."

With the Arcane Wizard Setoh's help, Merlin's chances of success were increased by at least thirty percent. This was rather incredible. In terms of condensing a Wizard Heart from his thirty-six Perfect-grade spells, Merlin did not even have an assurance of ten percent before this.

Now, Merlin nearly had forty percent assurance of success. This was thanks to Wizard Setoh who had spent great effort in demonstrating the countless possibilities of the future.

"Alright, take your time to slowly understand."

Wizard Setoh seemed somewhat tired, and waved his hand, dismissing Merlin.

After Merlin had turned to leave, the Blackfire Lord could not hold back any longer, frowning as he asked Wizard Setoh. "Setoh, when you demonstrated to Merlin the countless possibilities of the future earlier, the power you consumed was enough to let you create an avatar on par with a preeminent Lord. Was it worth it?"

Merlin did not know what it cost for Wizard Setoh to show him the endless possibilities of the future but the Blackfire Lord, being an ancient Lord, would naturally know that this was an ability which not even an Arcane Wizard would readily utilize.

This was because it had used up too much effort. Even an avatar of Setoh's, comparable to a preeminent Lord, might collapse from displaying the variations of the future.

"How could it be not worth it? It's worth the effort! Haha, Blackfire, I didn't give him such a generous gift out of deference to you. It's because he really has the potential that's deserving of such an effort. The history of Spell Casters is long, and we've only been in the Void Zone for three thousand years but have you ever seen a genius like Merlin? He's surpassed any civilization-level. He's a miracle. It's likely that even in the next tens of thousands of years, we won't be able to produce a prodigy like Merlin.

"Becoming a Great Wizard is a rather significant threshold. If I can help him pass that stage, I can't even imagine what his achievements will be! Thus, forget about just exhausting some energy, even wearing out one or two avatars would be worth it! In fact, if it wasn't for the likely onset of a civilization war, which means that I have to save some strength to handle Progenitor Hanra, I would have liked to let Merlin experience even more of his various future possibilities…"

The Blackfire Lord wore a complicated expression but he was overjoyed for Merlin because Merlin had gained Setoh's approval and attention. An Ultimate Arcane Wizard would not treat Merlin favorably merely due to the Blackfire Lord.

Showing Merlin his unlimited future possibilities was Wizard Setoh's affirmation toward Merlin. Although this war with the Rock Tribe was dangerous, for Merlin, it could very well be a chance…Merlin returned to the Alabaster Dimension. Currently, Titus could not wait any longer to exclaim his shock.

"It's inconceivable, truly inconceivable! The future has endless possibilities, and the Arcane Wizard Setoh is able to extrapolate the future. Wizard Merlin, this is far more powerful than Hallucinating spells. No matter how powerful those spells are, they're still illusory. However, the futures that the Arcane Wizard Setoh had shown you, from one perspective, are in fact, reality!"

Even Titus was blown away. The Arcane Wizard Setoh's calculation of the future had surpassed Titus' framework of knowledge.

"Oh? Which means that Spell Casters are still more powerful! Looks like I'd better focus on fusing the Spell Models, and try to consolidate the multi-colored Wizard Heart as soon as I can to become a Great Wizard!"

Merlin said with a dry smile.

Titus hurriedly interjected, "That's not for certain. It's just because Spell Casters have a refined system, and this is calculated by the Ultimate Arcane Wizard himself. For an Arcane Wizard to have a power like this isn't surprising! Back then, I hadn't even succeeded in creating the Illusory World, so how can I compare to an Ultimate Arcane Wizard? Wizard Merlin, if you were to perfect the Illusory World in the future and condense a complete Illusory World, you'll surely have some unique abilities too, on par with how Wizard Setoh had shown you the various possibilities of the future."

Merlin shook his head. He did not think that either Spell Casters or Mind Power Masters was better than the other. Now, he was both a Spell Caster and a Mind Power Master.

Furthermore, it seemed like being a Mind Power Master was more powerful but he felt that he would continue to cultivate whichever system that would help increase his strength.

In addition, the Mind Power system was not perfected. Although it seemed to have immense potential, up until now, no one was able to validate whether Titus' Mind Power system could be developed to its end. Naturally, Merlin would not throw all his efforts into cultivating the Mind Power system.

"Alright, Titus. The alchemy materials for transfiguring the illusion bead have been prepared. I'd better transfigure the Mind avatar as soon as possible in order to face the civilization war that may break out at any moment!"

Merlin currently felt a sense of urgency. The quieter the Rock Tribe was, the more Merlin felt nervous, especially since the Rock Tribe had no intention of stopping the fight. This indicated that the Rock Tribe was discontented!

They were likely to start a civilization war!

"Hehe, it's simple enough to transfigure the illusion bead. The difficult part is in separating the Illusory World. Alright, let's go step by step. First, transfigure the illusion bead."

Titus also knew that the most important thing Merlin had to do now was to transfigure the Mind avatar. This was a life-saving technique. Even if a civilization war erupted, Merlin's safety would be ensured to a certain extent.

Therefore, with Titus' aid, Merlin began to silently prepare for the transfiguration of the Mind avatar.

Chapter 634: The Avatar is Created!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Currently, in the Rock Tribe's dimension, all of the Rock Creatures appeared relatively despondent. The deaths that occurred among the six civilization-level Rock Creatures were a humongous blow to the Rock Tribe.

In particular, it was a blow to their spirits, causing many Rock Creatures to consider retreating to the Rock Tribe's dimension, no longer seeking a war with the Spell Casters.

In the main foyer of Progenitor Hanra's residence, many Ancestor-level Rock Creatures were gathered. This time, it seemed like Progenitor Hanra had made a decision.

"Everyone, we no longer have an escape route now. If we retreat, our Rock Tribe won't be able to grow, and we'll become increasingly feeble in the future. At this rate, we'll become a weak civilization in ten thousand years. The Spell Caster civilization, along with the other surrounding civilizations, are developing and flourishing, constantly expanding. Now is our best chance. Due to the defeat of Aroyo and the rest, an ordinary war won't help us gain the upper hand. Presently, the only course of action for our Rock Tribe is to start a civilization war!"

As soon as Progenitor Hanra had finished speaking, the Rock Creatures, despite having prepared in advance, felt a sense of dejection. A civilization war was something no one wished to experience.

Progenitor Hanra's gaze swept across the crowd of Rock Creatures. Once the civilization war began, time would be measured in centuries. No one knew how long this momentous civilization war would last.

When some powerful civilizations started a civilization war, they would fight ferociously for over ten thousand years. This would take an immense toll on both sides.

Nonetheless, Progenitor Hanra had no other choice today. He must not retreat, and could only start a civilization war!

"O' Great Progenitor Hanra!"

Suddenly, an Ancestor-level Rock Creature stood up.

"Blackroth, what's your suggestion?"

Progenitor Hanra recognized this Ancestor-level Rock Creature in a glance. He knew that Blackroth had been exploring the open territory for many years.

"Great Sir Progenitor, before you begin a civilization war, we actually still have a chance, not just to resolve the crisis but to do so without starting a civilization war."

Blackroth spoke in a calm tone.

"Oh? Blackroth, what's your plan?"

Progenitor Hanra became highly interested. If there really was a way to not start the civilization war and turn things around at the same time, naturally, it would be the most ideal solution.

"In fact, it's very simple. Great Sir Progenitor, you can command the Rock Creatures below Ancestor-level to enter the ten or so dimensions at the front lines and begin fighting the Spell Casters at full effort. However, we'll send some Ancestor-level Rock Creatures at the same time, who must hide their identities and suppress their force, expressly to look out for Wizard Merlin and those Spell Casters civilization-level prodigies! Once these targets are found, they'll strike immediately. The most important target is Merlin. It's best to send a middle rank Ancestor-level Rock Creature to be absolutely sure! As soon as we've killed Merlin and those civilization-level Wizards, we'll immediately retreat to the Rock Tribe Dimension.

"During this period, Sir Progenitor can make contact with the Spell Caster civilization. If they can't reach a decision to start a civilization war, then the initiative of the war is back in our hands."

After Blackroth had spoken, the Rock Creatures in the main foyer seemed to have brighter gazes. This was a plan indeed. There was only one core factor, which was to gamble!

They were betting on the fact that the Spell Casters would not dare to start a civilization war so easily, before the Rock Tribe had done so.

This "gamble" made it seem like the Rock Tribe had broken an unspoken rule but if the Spell Caster restrained themselves from starting a civilization war, then that was a victory for the Rock Tribe.

After all, there was some resistance among the Spell Casters too, especially Great Legends who would not be willing to begin a civilization war. This was because once they did, these lofty, imposing Great Legends would become hunting targets.

Therefore, if there were divisions in the Spell Caster civilization, the situation would be favorable for the Rock Tribe.

"What if Setoh decides to start a civilization war?"

Progenitor Hanra narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

Blackroth laughed in response, and replied, "If he does, then we haven't lost anything. We're already prepared for a civilization war, aren't we?"

Progenitor Hanra laughed as well. This was a good plan indeed. As long as the Spell Caster civilization did not embark upon a civilization war immediately, the resistance among their own ranks would be enough to prevent Wizard Setoh from starting the war.

Nonetheless, Progenitor Hanra knew that the difficult part of this matter was in thoroughly concealing those Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, who must not be discovered by the Spell Casters.

"This is a good plan indeed. If we succeed, Blackroth, I'll see to it that you get to enter the Progenitor's Land one time!"

Blackroth felt a burst of delight. It was only because he had formed a grudge against Merlin in the open territory that he finally now grabbed the opportunity to impose his own selfish motives. The chance to enter the Progenitor's Land was merely an incidental bonus for Blackroth.

"Alright, Blackroth, I'll send a middle rank Ancestor-level Rock Creature and three lower rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. Since this plan is yours, naturally, you must go along too."

Blackroth's heart trembled, and his smile froze upon his face. This was not good. If Merlin really died, and those Honored Legends and Lords of the Spell Casters started the civilization war regardless of everything, then Blackroth and the rest would be first ones at risk.

However, Progenitor Hanra had already decided, and Blackroth could only helplessly assent to this."Phew…"

In a room, Merlin opened his eyes, and exhaled extensively. In his hand was a flawless, exquisite, pure white, crystalline bead.

"I've finally transfigured it. Titus, this illusion bead is able to take in a third of the Illusory World?"

The white bead in Merlin's hand was an illusion bead. After receiving the materials for transfiguring the illusion bead from the Arcane Wizard Setoh, Merlin had used seven days, with Titus' help, to transfigure this illusion bead.

Nonetheless, Merlin did not know whether this bead was able to withstand a third of the Illusory World.

Titus immediately shot out a projection from the Illusory World, saying reassuringly, "The materials of this illusion bead are excellent, and the transfiguration went very smoothly. Certainly, it'll be able to take on a third of the Illusory World. Merlin, control the illusion bead first, then I'll help you sever a third of the Illusory World. This would need to be supported by that tremendous Mind Power of yours!"

Merlin nodded seriously. Detaching a third of the Illusory World was a great loss to the entire Illusory World. As the one who had personally created the Illusory World, Titus was reluctant to carry out such an act.

Nevertheless, for Merlin to have an additional chance at life during the impending civilization war, Titus could only resign himself to this heartache. After all, if Merlin died, his plan for someone to perfect the Mind Power system and resurrect him would no longer be a possibility.

Merlin retrieved the illusion bead from his ring, following which he mobilized his colossal Mind Power. As the owner of the illusion bead, it was easy for Merlin to control the entire Illusory World.

It was just that this Illusory World was overly massive, so Merlin was incapable of mobilizing it fully.

"Sever!"

After Merlin had perceived the entire Illusory World, he began to control the Illusory World, ready to detach a third of it before moving it into the newly transfigured illusion bead.

This would be difficult to pull off if Merlin was alone, but with Titus' help, it became easier.

Merlin's immense Mind Power was like a force that tore apart the world. It was initially quiet and serene in the Illusory World, but now, the entire place began to tremor, and countless mountains, rivers, and lakes ceased to exist in an instant. It was an apocalyptic scene.

Although the Illusory World was illusory, it was no different from the real word on the Mind Power plane. After all, Titus' end goal was to transform the illusory into reality. At that point, the Illusory World would turn into a real world.

"Rumble."

The entire Illusory World was still quaking violently. The sky crashed down as the ground broke apart as if a giant hand was forcefully tearing the entire thing apart. A massive Spatial Gap appeared in the sky.

Merlin's Mind Power was shaking furiously as it strenuously tore apart an Illusory World. He was still unable to do so for now. Luckily, he had Titus' help, who understood the Illusory World the most. Therefore, he was able to help Merlin sever this Illusory World.

"Merlin, quick. Push a third of the Illusory World into the second illusion bead!"

Titus yelled in the Illusory World. Merlin dared not delay. One moment of carelessness and the third of the Illusory World which was torn off might collapse. At that point, all of Merlin and Titus' efforts would have been wasted.

"Rise!"

Merlin's Mind Power was like two hands, holding up a third of the Illusory World as it gradually left the illusion bead. Following that, the Illusory World was forcefully pushed into the second illusion bead by Merlin's Mind Power.

After the third of the Illusory World had entered the illusion bead, it slowly calmed down. Nonetheless, when he saw the scene of destruction in the Illusory World, Merlin could not help but gasp in surprise at the marvel of the Illusory World. This Illusory World was just like the real world. Although it was shaking, as long as it could be stabilized, it would slowly recover. However, it would continually affect the "living beings" in the Illusory World.

"Titus, I should condense the Mind avatar next, right?"

Merlin's voice revealed his nervousness. According to the steps for transfiguring a Mind avatar that Titus had given him, this was the final part which was also the most crucial.

He must fuse his Mind Power with the illusion bead, and with that, transform the Illusory World in the illusion bead into a Mind avatar of his own.

"You may begin! In truth, if it weren't for your inability to fuse the Illusory World completely into your Awareness, there's no need to go through so much trouble. You could have directly severed the Illusory World and create countless Mind avatars. Think about it – when you're accomplished at the Illusory World, you can instantly create a Mind avatar whenever you're in danger in order to withstand any fatal attacks. How frightening is that? It's just a shame you're unable to merge the Illusory World into your Awareness, and can only use the illusion bead as an external medium, so your efficiency in creating a Mind avatar is much lower."

Titus spoke somewhat powerlessly.

"Accomplished in terms of the Illusory World?"

Merlin shook his head. This was too far ahead that it was not even realistic because even Titus was unable to complete the Illusory World. Merlin did not think he would be able to do so that easily.

Therefore, no matter how terrifying his powers would be after being accomplished at the Illusory World, this was all a pipe dream to the current Merlin. It was more practical to transfigure a Mind avatar for now.

Therefore, according to Titus' steps, Merlin separated a portion of his Mind Power and forcibly fused it into the Illusory World. His force filled every corner of the Illusory World.

"Hum hum hum."

Suddenly, the illusion bead began to tremble, following which a "Spell Caster" that looked just like Merlin appeared before him.

"We've done it? Even his life force is the same. Not even I can tell the difference!"

Merlin looked at this other "Merlin" before him, and was stunned to his core.

"You must've done it. From now onward, I'll be Wizard Merlin's avatar!"

The wondrous thing was that Merlin's Mind avatar possessed independent speech as well. In fact, this avatar was controlled by Merlin's Mind Power. A conversation like this was equivalent to Merlin talking to himself.

This sensation was one that gave Merlin an odd feeling.

Chapter 635: A Familiar Gaze!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A month's time had passed. In the Alabaster Dimension, Merlin had been focusing on understanding the various future possibilities that the Arcane Wizard Setoh had calculated for him. It was just that, until now, he still had not attempted to fuse the Spell Models.

The Fire-type and Thunder-type Wizard Hearts were undoubtedly the ones Merlin was most familiar with, and they seemed to Merlin the easiest to fuse. However, within the myriad of future possibilities, it was precisely the fusion of these two Wizard Hearts that Merlin most frequently failed at.

Therefore, without a resolute assurance, Merlin dared not fuse them carelessly. He vaguely felt that fusing the Spell Models to become a Great Wizard must surely be the biggest threshold in his entire journey as a Spell Caster.

Nevertheless, during this month, the Rock Tribe was silent as well, taking no action. The more the current situation remained, the more the Spell Casters were unable to rest easy. After all, Progenitor Hanra and the many Ancestor-level Rock Creatures of the Rock Tribe were not too far from the Seely Dimension. They were watching closely of the many dimensions of the Spell Caster civilization.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Merlin suddenly raised his head. He felt intense Elemental fluctuations coming from outside. When he extended his Mind Power to have a look, he saw that many Spell Casters were swiftly exiting the Alabaster Dimension as if something big had happened.

"Could it be that the Rock Tribe has started a civilization war?"

Just as Merlin was puzzling over this, the Maxim avatar of Teacher Zado told him, "Merlin, hurry to Wizard Setoh's castle. All of the Great Legends are already gathered here."

Merlin's heart trembled. He knew that something major must have happened, most likely something to do with the Rock Tribe.

Thus, he stood up immediately and flew toward Setoh's castle in the Void Zone."Wizard Setoh, the Rock Tribe is forcing our hand. With an operation of such great fanfare after such a long period of silence, they must've decided to start a civilization war. We must get ready!"

"That's debatable. If they really wanted to start a civilization war, wouldn't it be more effective to directly send Great Legends to attack the ten or so dimensions in the Seely Dimension? Why would they act so brazenly as if they're unafraid of us?"

"Indeed. This move of the Rock Tribe is rather strange."

When Merlin reached the castle, his ears were filled with the debates of many Great Legends. As for the focal point of these debates, it was whether the Rock Tribe would start a civilization war.

This abrupt operation of the Rock Tribe was puzzling on many levels.

After listening for a moment, Merlin had a general understanding of the situation. The Rock Tribe had suddenly, with great fanfare, hurried toward the Seely Dimension in an open and brash manner. Wizard Setoh and the Great Legends were discussing the appropriate countermeasure.

As Merlin had defeated the six civilization-level prodigies, he had earned the right to join their discussion.

Upon looking at the chaos below, Wizard Setoh knitted his brow. "Stop arguing. No matter whether the Rock Tribe wants to start a civilization war, we must hurry over immediately. Everyone must be ready! Also, the four Great Lords must each command a team consisting entirely of Great Legends, and be prepared to handle any sudden crises."

Wizard Setoh's arrangement was cautious and prudent.

Therefore, with the Arcane Wizard Setoh leading the way, all the Great Legends flew out of the castle and headed toward the front lines.

Soon enough, many Legends had reached the front lines. The Seely Dimension and the other ten or so dimensions that the front lines comprised were now under the Spell Casters' control. The Rock Creatures had hurried over but had not made a single move.

"What's Hanra trying to do?"

Until now, Wizard Setoh was still unable to discern what the Rock Tribe was planning.

"Rumble."

Suddenly, the Rock Tribe made their move, one which happened on a wide scale. There were almost more than ten thousand Rock Creatures who flew directly toward the front line dimensions, including the Seely Dimension.

Among these Rock Creatures, there was not a single one with the force of a Legend. All of them were below Legends.

"Hanra wishes to fight like this?"

Wizard Setoh's face wore a startled look. Sending those below the level of Legends to fight for the dimension – Rock Creatures who numbered over ten thousand – this was definitely a war.

However, without the Legends' participation, it was no cause for anxiety. Those Great Legends even heaved a sigh of relief. A battle between those below Legends might be intense but at least it was not as terrifying as a civilization war.

"Haha, since Hanra doesn't wish to start a civilization war but fight for the dimensions instead, naturally, we won't hold back! Four Great Lords, let the Spell Casters below the level of Legends enter the front line dimensions as they wish. War has erupted!"

After Wizard Setoh's command, the four Great Lords began to direct numerous Spell Caster teams to fly into the ten or so dimensions at the front lines. Instantly, the masses of Rock Creatures and Spell Casters launched a furious fight in these dimensions.

Although the Rock Creatures were able to form the Progenitor's Body and to employ a significant advantage, in truth, there were many Spell Casters who were below Legends. When they started to fight, it was the Spell Casters who had the slight upper hand.

However, this was before the civilization-level prodigies had attacked. Once they had made their move, the entire situation would be turned around because there was no one in the Rock Tribe who was able to contend against the civilization-level geniuses of the Spell Casters.

"Wizard Merlin!"

The Arcane Wizard Setoh called out to Merlin, after which Merlin arrived before him, who pointed to Wizard Sven and the other three civilization-level Wizards behind him. Wizard Setoh said to Merlin, "Wizard Merlin, you and Sven's team of four are now a squad with you as the squad leader. Join the fight as soon as you can. You must guard the Seely Dimension! Since Hanra didn't decide to start a civilization war, let's destroy the Rock Tribe's fantasies completely. They can forget about getting into the Seely Dimension!"

Merlin glanced at Sven and the other three civilization-level Wizards. Wizard Setoh had compiled the greatest forces to immediately defeat the Rock Tribe, dispelling any illusions Progenitor Hanra might have had.

Merlin nodded. "Please be rest assured, Wizard Setoh. We'll guard the Seely Dimension for sure!"

With that, Merlin, along with Sven and the rest, instantly flew toward the Seely Dimension."Great Sir Progenitor, Merlin and the other four civilization-level prodigies of the Spell Casters have arrived. They've formed a squad. This is our best chance!"

Blackroth had been following beside Progenitor Hanra. Together, they were observing the changes of the battlefield at the front lines. Both sides appeared to be evenly matched but in fact, the strongest forces of the Spell Casters had not arrived.

Progenitor Hanra was waiting for Merlin and the other four civilization-level prodigies. They were a force that could change the game!

"That's right, they've finally appeared! Blackroth, keep to your plan. I'll send Niske along with you. He's a middle rank Ancestor-level being, equivalent to the Spell Casters' Honored Legends. No matter how powerful Merlin and those four civilization-level prodigies are, they won't stand a chance! Remember, you must kill Merlin!"

Progenitor Hanra's eyes were filled with a murderous aura. Merlin was the first Spell Caster who was not even a Legend that had made such a lasting impression on Progenitor Hanra.

Blackroth's heart was filled with joy. With Niske going as well, he was much more confident.

"Sir Progenitor, don't worry. I'll surely kill Merlin and completely turn things around!"

"Go forth!"

Following that, the forces of Blackroth and Niske were concealed through a special technique Progenitor Hanra himself had cast. Then they flew toward the Seely Dimension noiselessly.

As he looked at their departing figures, Progenitor Hanra's eyes glinted with a cold light as he mumbled, "If we don't succeed, a civilization war would be inevitable!"

Progenitor Hanra could not even be sure. Even if they had succeeded, a civilization war might still be unavoidable.It was the first time the Spell Casters and the Rock Tribe had burst into such a large-scale war. More than ten thousand Spell Casters and Rock Creatures were battling each other with everything they had. Almost every dimension of the front lines was embroiled in a furious battle.

One could see colossal Progenitor's Bodies everywhere as well as Spell Casters who had set up Runic Magic Circles to trap Rock Creatures. Both sides had their own tricks, and were equally matched in general.

However, after Merlin led the four civilization-level prodigies to join the fight, the situation began to change. After they had arrived at the Seely Dimension, each of the civilization-level prodigies was able to handle an area by themselves.

When they encountered Rock Creatures, they simply had to send out any one of the civilization-level prodigies, and the Rock Creatures would be unable to resist. The disparity was too obvious. The Rock Creatures of the Seely Dimension were rapidly being crushed.

Below Legends, civilization-level prodigies were in control of the state of the battle, able to determine the outcome.

"It's too easy. I guess that the remaining two civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe don't even dare to join this battle now."

Wizard Sven and the other civilization-level prodigies appeared very relaxed. Merlin did not even have to act for the four of them were able to defeat any Rock Creatures.

Even if the mightiest existences below a Legend formed a Progenitor's Body, they would be no match for a civilization-level prodigy.

"The Rock Tribe won't start a war despite knowing they would lose for sure. We'd better be careful!"

Conversely, Merlin was on his guard. However, things were unfolding smoothly. They had not been in the Seely Dimension for long before the Rock Tribe was basically beginning to be defeated.

"Another Rock Tribe team? Haha, let me take care of it this time!"

Wizard Haya was one of the civilization-level Wizards. Previously, he was lucky enough to survive, and was now one of the four great civilization-level Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization.

These Rock Creatures were generally quite weak and would be vanquished immediately when they ran into Merlin's squad. Now that there were Rock Creatures who dared to rush forward, Wizard Haya was overjoyed and was the first one to confront them.

"They're coming! However, we're still quite far from Merlin. Don't attack just yet!"

This team of Rock Creatures consisted of seven members. The others were upper rank Rock Creatures, and they seemed to have rather formidable strength. Blackroth and Niske were hiding among them.

They must not attack for once they do, their identities would be exposed. Therefore, they must kill the targets in one blow. If they attacked, they must succeed at once!

Blackroth was glaring at Merlin unwaveringly. The closer they were, the more brazen Blackroth's gaze became.

Merlin suddenly felt that there was a familiar gaze coming from the oncoming team of Rock Creatures.

"Hmm? The Ancestor-level Rock Creature from the open territory? Oh no, Haya, come back quickly!"

Merlin suddenly remembered this familiar gaze. It was an Ancestor-level Rock Creature who had fought for the Firecloud Dimension back in the open territory.

However, it was already too late.

"Haha! Merlin, die!"

Blackroth and Niske instantly released their fearsome force. Niske, in particular, had a powerful force that was on par with an Honored Legend!

Chapter 636: Civilization War Erupts!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Bang."

The civilization-level prodigy Wizard Haya in the forefront did not have any way of resisting against Blackroth and Niske's sudden attack, and was crushed by the violent force.

Another civilization-level prodigy had died!

However, an even larger crisis was looming. The entire Seely Dimension seemed to be occupied by a frenzied power. All the Spell Casters could feel the suffocating power.

"Boom."

With Niske's fist, it seemed like the entire Seely Dimension shook. He was an existence comparable to an Honored Legend. His power was endless, and only one blow was needed to deal with Merlin.

"Haha, he's dead. Merlin is finally dead!"

Blackroth roared with laughter. Until now, everything was going smoothly. Not only did a civilization-level prodigy die, even Merlin, a Spell Caster who could affect the situation on the battlefield, had died as well.

There were only three civilization-level prodigies left. Blackroth had planned to act again, and take the opportunity to kill those three civilization-level prodigies as well.

"Damn it! We fell in the Rock Tribe's trap. We were too careless!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh reacted immediately but Progenitor Hanra was long prepared and directly stopped Arcane Wizard Setoh. However, the Blackfire Lord then instantly flew into the Seely Dimension, and launched a giant palm made of flames at Blackroth and Niske.

"Those who killed my disciple, die!"

The Blackfire Lord had not been this furious since becoming a Lord. His heart was full of endless bloodlust. He wanted nothing more than to kill Blackroth and Niske, and even massacre the entire Rock Tribe.

Merlin whom he had placed such high hopes on had died just like that without any way to resist. A Spell Caster who was not even a Legend was schemed against by Progenitor Hanra of the Rock Tribe, who had mobilized someone comparable to an Honored Legend. This was somewhat unbelievable.

The Blackfire Lord brought his boundless fury, and his terrifying power trapped Blackroth and Niske. Although those two were Great Legends, and Niske was even a powerful being comparable to an Honored Legend, his distance from the Blackfire Lord was just too large. Just by being trapped by the Blackfire Lord's maxim, they were unable to move.

"No, Progenitor, save us!"

Blackroth yelled frantically. Everything had gone according to his plan but he had never expected that the Spell Caster civilization's reaction would be so intense. He had never thought that a Great Lord would take action. This was going to cause a civilization war!

"All Spell Casters, hear my orders. Kill every last Rock Creature by any means possible. In my name, Setoh, kill, kill, kill!"

This time, Arcane Wizard Setoh did not hesitate, and gave out the order. This was basically starting a civilization war. Although Arcane Wizard Setoh was extremely reluctant to start a civilization war, Merlin had died, and several civilization-level prodigies were also in imminent peril. Wizard Setoh could no longer hold back.

A civilization war had broken out!

"All Rock Creatures, heed my orders. Kill each and every Spell Caster. In my name, Hanra, kill!"

Immediately, a gigantic face appeared in the skies of the Seely Dimension and released endless awe.

"Victory to the Progenitor! Victory to the Rock Tribe!"

The Rock Tribe had long since been prepared. Wizard Setoh and the Blackfire Lord's actions meant that Blackroth's plan had failed. The civilization war had inevitably erupted.

"Progenitor's power, bind!"

The Rock Tribe Progenitor Hanra saw Blackroth and Niske in danger. He did not care about Blackroth but Niske was someone comparable to an Honored Legend. The death of an existence like him would be a huge loss.

Thus, Progenitor Hanra separated a part of his power, and used the Progenitor's power to mobilize the power of the entire Seely Dimension.

Since the Seely Dimension had been transformed by the Rock Tribe, it had already become the Rock Creatures' "home ground". Ancestor-level Rock Creatures could mobilize a portion of the Seely Dimension's power but Progenitor Hanra could directly use the Seely Dimension's power to block this fatal blow for Niske.

"Boom."

The Blackfire Lord's Fiery Palm viciously collided with Progenitor Hanra's shield formed with the Seely Dimension's power. The terrifying shockwave had caused the Seely Dimension to tremble, unable to handle all that power.

"Crack."

Finally, the Seely Dimension collapsed with a rumble, crumbling from the violent force. A dimension had completely disappeared just like that.

If a Great Lord exerted his full strength, even the strongest dimensions would not be able to handle it. The Blackfire Lord's attack had not only shattered the Seely Dimension but several other dozen dimensions in the front line were completely shattered, utterly unable to withstand that frantic power.

Most of those dimensions belonged to the Spell Caster civilization, which was then occupied by the Rock Tribe, and transformed into a Rock Creature's dimension. The remaining were like the Seely Dimension – dimensions that the Spell Casters and the Rock Tribe did not interact with.

However, now, they were all destroyed. It was a huge loss to both the Rock Tribe and the Spell Caster civilization. After all, a dimension, especially dimensions that were not barren, were very hard to find.

The Seely Dimension was shattered but Blackroth and Niske did not die from the Blackfire Lord's attack. Fear crept into their eyes.

In the Spell Caster civilization, one of the oldest Lords was the Blackfire Lord. They finally learned that even if they were already Ancestor-level, before such formidable power, they also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Seeing the dimensions getting destroyed one after another, in a wide area in the Void Zone, there were two figures. One of them was surrounded with gorgeous multi-colored light, and had a noble life force.

The other one had a large and frightening face, overbearing and full of destruction. Although surrounding them was the Void Zone where there was no time and space, the power transmitted was very far. No one dared to approach.

"Setoh, if we fight, even more dimensions will be destroyed!"

Progenitor Hanra's voice sounded calmly in the Void Zone. Setoh and he were both ultimate beings. Once they fought, just the aftershocks would be enough to destroy distant dimensions. Even in the experimental attack earlier, both sides were still holding back.

Generally, even in a civilization war, Ultimate Arcane Wizards normally would not interfere in the battles. It was only unless the civilization was at risk of extinction, then an Arcane Wizard would take action.

After all, although ultimate beings could not reverse the natural order, they were still the strongest beings confined by the natural order. Unless the gap was truly too large, even if multiple Arcane Wizards attacked from all sides, they would still be unable to kill an ultimate being.

Arcane Wizard was how the Spell Caster civilization had called them. For the Rock Tribe, they were known as Progenitors. However, in the Void Zone, there was another general term called ultimate existences.

That was because in the Void Zone's history up until today, countless brilliant and powerful civilizations had been born. However, there had never been anyone who had surpassed an ultimate existence.

To deal with an ultimate existence, one had to carefully plan and gather several ultimate existences to attack together. However, they still had to be cautious as there was no guarantee that they would be able to kill them.

Once an ultimate existence had managed to escape, he would start causing wanton destruction. Even a powerful civilization could have their dimension destroyed, and end up completely declining.

Therefore, even in a civilization war, ultimate beings from both sides would not join the battle. That was because once they had participated, both sides would suffer. Neither party would gain any benefits.

"Hmph, Hanra, the civilization war has already started. Your Rock Tribe doesn't stand a chance! Now that the civilization war has erupted, we're prepared to fight for tens of thousands of years. Our Spell Caster civilization could rise in a short span of just three thousand years. Is that something your Rock Tribe can compare with? This time, it's not that simple. We'll drive you back to your old nest and completely seal you away!"

Wizard Setoh's gaze flashed coldly. Since the civilization war had already erupted, he naturally no longer had any scruples. Even if they had to pay a hefty price, they had to win the war. They had to make sure the Rock Tribe no longer dared to provoke the Spell Caster civilization.

"Oh? Setoh, If I remember correctly, aren't you still fighting with the Atlan civilization? Even one of your Arcane Wizards went to oversee the battle. That civilization is very peculiar. Even though it has only one dimension, and they don't have any ultimate existences, they can make some particularly powerful tools that even your ultimate existences are fearful of. That's why until now, you've never been able to break through the Atlan Dimension. That's right, you're fighting two wars but you can't deploy all your forces. That's because you still need to defend the God Alliance. The other ultimate existence has always been sitting at the frontier of the God Alliance, right? Setoh, your Spell Caster civilization is in grave danger now. It seems to have flourished for the past three thousand years but it has many enemies. How can you fight against my Rock Tribe now?

"This time, we've gathered all the Rock Tribe dimensions. We're fighting for life and death but you're still held back by many restrictions. The victor has already been determined. Why don't we fight for a few thousand years and see who gets the last laugh? I'm just afraid that at that time, your Spell Caster civilization would really be at stake!"

In order to start this war, Progenitor Hanra had made many preparations in advance, including investigating the Spell Caster civilization. He knew more about the Spell Caster civilization's situation than many Honored Legends did.

The Spell Caster civilization was indeed powerful but they were subjected to many restraints and restrictions that did not allow them to let go of for the war with the Rock Tribe. Otherwise, how would the Spell Caster civilization be as fearful as they were now? They would have started a civilization war long ago!

"Then, let's see the results in one thousand years!"

Wizard Setoh kept his Maxim as he could not start fighting with Progenitor Hanra. Otherwise, even if the civilization war had been won, it would be meaningless. Both sides were doomed to suffer losses.

Progenitor Hanra naturally thought of the same, and the two went their separate ways.

Although the ultimate beings from both sides withdrew, the Great Legends had just joined the war. A bitter war had just begun!

Chapter 637: Dilemma

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Run, run as far as you can. The civilization war has erupted. Even Ancestor-level Rock Creatures are in danger."

Blackroth had narrowly escaped death under the Blackfire Lord's hands. Seeing how the civilization war had started, how would he dare to remain so close to the Spell Caster civilization?

However, his speed was not as fast as Niske, who was a being comparable to an Honored Legend. He simply used some power aftershocks to quickly return to the Rock Tribe camp. Although the civilization war was cruel, existences comparable to Honored Legends would not die that easily.

Blackroth quickly headed back to the Rock Tribe camp. As the Seely Dimension crumbled, and he was hindered by Progenitor Hanra, the Blackfire Lord was a little slow, and was still some distance away from Blackroth.

"Phew…"

Blackroth felt that he was almost about to reach the Rock Tribe camp when he suddenly realized that all the noise around him was gone. The violent fluctuations of battle had disappeared, and he even found that he was no longer in the Void Zone. He was surrounded by blackness, completely alone.

"What's going on?"

A thought flashed in Blackroth's mind. He recalled that when he was in the Firecloud Dimension, he had encountered something like this before. It was an illusion!

"Illusion? Didn't Merlin already die?"

Blackroth's heart trembled. That feeling was too familiar.

Blackroth had some experience with illusions. Normally, he could spend some time to break it but a civilization war was happening now, and a Great Lord like the Blackfire Lord was after his life. In such a critical moment, he might be in danger if he lost focus by just a moment.

Blackroth was confused. The many Spell Casters in the Void Zone saw that he indeed had fallen into an illusion. In the place where the former Seely Dimension had collapsed, four figures slowly emerged from the ruins. They were Merlin and the remaining three civilization-level prodigies.

"Wizard Merlin, you didn't die?"

"That was an attack from someone comparable to an Honored Legend. How could Wizard Merlin still be alive?"

It was understandable that the three civilization-level prodigies did not die. After all, the Rock Tribe's target was Merlin. After killing Merlin, they had no more time to kill the three civilization-level prodigies anymore.

Everyone clearly saw that Merlin had indeed received a blow from Niske, but now that he had reappeared, he even looked completely unharmed. Even the Great Lord did not know what had happened.

"Whoosh."

The Blackfire Lord finally arrived beside Merin. In his fury, he had immediately destroyed the Seely Dimension. After being hindered by Progenitor Hanra, he frantically pursued Niske and Blackroth.

Even though Niske had run quickly, and escaped to the Rock Tribe camp, the Blackfire Lord did not let the remaining Blackroth go.

"Die!"

The Blackfire Lord's body was wrapped in his Darkness Maxim. He was called the Blackfire Lord precisely because he had the highest achievement in his Darkness-type Maxim and his Fire-type Maxim.

The Darkness Maxim directly enveloped Blackroth who had fallen into an illusion. At this time, Blackroth finally awakened from the illusion, and his expression grew incredulous when he saw Merlin.

However, he no longer had any chance to speak.

"Bang."

Even if he was just using a Darkness Maxim, the Blackfire Lord could still easily crush Blackroth, a mere Ancestor-level Rock Creature!

After killing Blackroth, the Blackfire Lord stepped over to Merlin's side. After looking up and down, he found that Merlin's life force was not only calm but he was not harmed at all. Even a magnificent Lord like him found that difficult to believe.

"Merlin, how did you escape that terrifying blow?"

The Blackfire Lord asked Merlin suspiciously.

It was not only the Blackfire Lord. Even the three civilization-level prodigies near Merlin had astonished expressions. They were not far from Merlin, and had felt Niske's terrible power. It was definitely something comparable to an Honored Legend.

Even some powerful Great Wizards would be unable to withstand an Honored Legend's attack, much less Merlin, who was not even a Great Legend.

Merlin looked at Blackroth's direction. Under the Blackfire Lord's Darkness Maxim, Blackroth's life force had completely disappeared. Merlin did not have a deep impression of Blackroth but it was only when the other party launched an attack that Merlin had suddenly remembered.

However, that really was quite dangerous. Merlin had encountered many dangers before but there was none as hair-raising as the one earlier. He still had some lingering fear.

Niske's attack was definitely comparable to an Honored Legend at full power. Merlin could not resist at all, and could only immediately use the Mind avatar that he had just refined.

The Mind avatar that Merlin had formed using one-third of the Illusory World was his greatest live-saving method. Titus was just enlightened about this method after unceasingly forming the Illusory World. Even Arcane Wizards would not have seen something like this before so they naturally would not know that a Mind avatar that could receive a fatal blow on behalf of someone else at such a critical moment existed in this world.

Merlin also had felt fear the moment he used the Mind avatar. He also did not know if it would work. Furthermore, as the Mind avatar was a part of his Mind Power, it was no different from Merlin himself.

When facing strength comparable to an Honored Legend, even Merlin had directly "experienced" the feeling of death.

However, the matter of the Mind avatar could not be mentioned to others under any circumstances. For one, that was Merin's final life-saving method. Although he could not form another Mind avatar, he still had to keep it secret and remain unknown. This was especially true in the cruel civilization war. He had to remain mysterious and elusive.

However, Merlin could not refuse the Blackfire Lord, so he simply remained silent.

The Blackfire Lord seemed to understand and smiled. "Merlin, and you three, it's the civilization war now. You don't have that many uses on the battlefield anymore. I'll escort you back to the Alabaster Dimension first!"

There were only three civilization-level prodigies left in the Spell Caster civilization. Before the civilization war started, these civilization-level prodigies played a decisive role.

However, a civilization war had erupted. Even Great Legends would die, much less civilization-level prodigies. There was a large possibility that these civilization-level prodigies could become Honored Legends in the future or perhaps even the more powerful Lords!

Therefore, it would be a great loss if they died in vain in the civilization war. The Blackfire Lord naturally would not let them encounter such fate.

Later, Merlin and the others returned to the Alabaster Dimension under the Blackfire Lord's escort. Merlin was also requested by the Blackfire Lord not to go to the front line for the time being. The civilization war had just started. When the battles eased slightly, they would discuss further with Wizard Setoh.

Merlin hesitated for a moment. The civilization war had erupted but with his current strength, he really did not have much influence on the battlefield. Thus, he nodded his head, and remained at the Alabaster Dimension for the time being.

"Titus!"

Staying at the Alabaster Dimension, Merlin's mood had also gradually calmed down. He quickly entered the illusion bead and searched for Titus.

Titus' figure gradually formed in front of Merlin. He showed a smile and said, "Merlin, if I hadn't let you refine a Mind avatar this time, you really would have died! This civilization war truly is dangerous. Great Legends and even Honored Legends could die. Look, the civilization war had just begun but how many Great Legends from both sides have already died?"

Merlin stared at Titus. He naturally knew how dangerous the civilization war was. If not for the Mind avatar, he indeed would have died. It truly was dangerous.

"That's why I'm here to find you! Is it possible to refine a second Mind avatar? I can find refining materials needed to refine the illusion bead here in the Alabaster Dimension."

Merlin deliberated a lot. The first thing he needed to do was to refine a Mind avatar. After experiencing the danger earlier, Merlin had finally understood how important a Mind avatar was.

"Refine another Mind avatar?"

Titus shook his head. "Although materials for the illusion bead are difficult to find, if you look closely, they can still be collected. However, the most important aspect about refining a Mind avatar isn't the illusion bead but the Illusory World! Unless you want to split one-third of the Illusory World again to refine the Mind avatar, you can only wait until you can form an Illusory World to form a Mind avatar."

Merlin frowned after listening to Titus. The Mind avatar was indeed important but it was necessary to split the Illusory World. Currently, the Illusory World played a great role to Merlin. If another one-third of it was divided, Merlin might not be able to use the Illusory World and cast illusions that could trap even Great Legends anymore.

However, a Mind avatar was truly very important now. In a civilization war, life-saving methods were the most important. Therefore, Merlin was caught in a dilemma.

As for what Titus had said about forming an Illusory World, Merlin had not considered that before. He had not even comprehended an Illusory Heart, much less form an Illusory World.

"Merlin, a Mind avatar is comprehended from the Illusory World. If you form an Illusory World in the future, as long as you give up some Mind Power, you'll be able to form a Mind avatar. Even an Ultimate Arcane Wizard would find it extremely challenging to kill you. However, it'll be very difficult if you want to form a Mind avatar now. The Illusion World can't be split up anymore. Otherwise, the Illusion World would no longer be able to influence Great Wizards. You would also be in more danger."

Titus' words flashed unceasingly in Merlin's mind.

"I'm still too weak. If I could combine a Six-Elemental Wizard Heart and become a Great Wizard or comprehended an Illusory Heart, my power would definitely increase greatly. Splitting the Illusory World again would still be bearable!"

Merlin muttered in a low voice. However, he knew that it was very difficult to become a Great Wizard or comprehend an Illusory Heart. It would not be easily accomplished.

After a few hours of consideration, Merlin finally did not rashly split the Illusory World. The civilization war had just begun. He was ready to wait until the Blackfire Lord and the others returned, and see how the situation developed before making a final decision!

Chapter 638: Fusion Simulation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the civilization war began, the Alabaster Dimension was almost completely empty. In just a few months, the Alabaster Dimension slowly became more lively, and many unfamiliar faces began to appear.

These Wizards were from other dimensions who had hurried to the front line. Ever since the civilization war erupted, Arcane Wizard Setoh had mobilized the entire Spell Caster civilization. All Spell Casters, even plunderers, had to be rushed to the front line.

Of course, there were not many Spell Casters who could be rushed there, especially Great Legends. It was nowhere near the first batch that arrived in droves. As Progenitor Hanra said, the Spell Caster civilization was not in a very good state. Although its overall strength was indeed stronger than the Rock Tribe, they still had to guard against other foreign civilizations.

These Spell Casters also hurriedly rushed over to the front line. Occasionally, some Spell Casters who had returned to the Alabaster Dimension from the front line would shake their heads helplessly while discussing the situation, expressing their pessimism.

Merlin stayed at the Alabaster Dimension, and used this period to try combining a Six-Elemental Wizard Heart, striving to become a Great Wizard soon.

However, when Merlin thought about the extrapolation of countless possibilities in the future, where an overwhelming majority ended up in failure, Merlin felt a little hopeless.

"If I could extrapolate for a period of time and see more possibilities in the future without hurting myself, maybe I'll have more confidence in combining a Spell Model."

Merlin occasionally had thoughts like that. He knew that he was already extremely lucky to have an Ultimate Arcane Wizard to extrapolate for him once. There would not be a second time.

Furthermore, he could tell by Wizard Setoh's fatigued expression that extrapolating the future was definitely not simple. To want a second extrapolation was simply an extravagant hope.

"Merlin, I might have a way to let you try to combine a Spell Model. However, I don't know if it'll have any effect."

Titus' voice suddenly sounded by Merlin's ear.

"You have a way? You can extrapolate the future?"

Merlin's eyes brightened. If Titus could extrapolate the future, then no matter how high the price was, it would be worth it.

However, Titus shook his head. "Extrapolating the future was impossible for me even when I formed the Illusory World… I can't extrapolate your future but you can simulate your current state in the Illusory World, and try to fuse a Wizard Heart from the Illusory World!"

"Simulate fusing a Wizard Heart in the Illusory World?" Merlin frowned. The Illusory World was indeed very realistic. Although he clearly knew that it was an illusion, he could not find any indication about it being an illusion.

In other words, when Merlin was in the Illusory World, he had no way of breaking through the Illusory World. If he tried to combine a spell according to his condition and used a portion of his Mind Power in the Illusory World, it might be a viable option.

However, an illusion was still an illusion. Combining a Spell Model in the Illusory World did not mean that when Merlin truly combined a spell in the future, it would be the same as in the Illusory World.

This could be very different from the future that Wizard Setoh had extrapolated. The extrapolated future was infinite but real, and could be used as a reference when Merlin combined a Spell Model.

As for the Illusory World, Merlin also did not know if it would be useful. However, it was an option, so Merlin wanted to give it a try. Perhaps experiencing the process of combining a Spell Model in the Illusory World would be able to enlighten him.

"Then, I'll give it a try."

Merlin immediately projected his Mind Power into the Illusory World.

The Illusory World currently was not as peaceful as before. Although the entire Illusory World was an illusion, it was a world that Titus had formed based on the Slothful Beast world. Everything that happened inside would not disappear, and the entire world would continue to develop.

Since Merlin split up one-third of the Illusory World, there was a great impact on the entire world. Merlin could see a large crack in the sky as if the sky had been abruptly cut off.

Furthermore, various terrifying storms had swept past, leaving the entire Illusory World in a desolate state.

"Wizard Merlin, as you can see, the current Illusory World isn't very peaceful. I'm afraid it'll take a long time for it to slowly recover. However, as you said, it doesn't affect much. The most important problem is Mind Power. If you try combining a Spell Model in the Illusory World, you'll need to spend a lot of Mind Power."

Titus warned in a low voice.

"Spend Mind Power? That's not a problem. I'll be staying in the Illusory World for a long time, and I also want to experience the feeling of combining a Spell Model. Of course, I'll have to spend Mind Power."

Merlin did not find any problem with that. It was normal to spend Mind Power. He only wanted to give it a try and see if it worked or not.

Even if he could only reach half of the effect that Wizard Setoh had extrapolated, it would be considered incredible.

"Alright, enlighten yourself in the Illusory World. Just be careful not to spend too much Mind Power!"

Titus disappeared after he had finished speaking. In the Illusory World, only Merlin and Titus had an omnipotent position.

Merlin gently closed his eyes, and started to carefully sense the six types of Wizard Hearts in his body. In fact, each of Merlin's Wizard Heart was extremely powerful because of the perfect-grade spells. Just one of Merlin's Wizard Heart could be comparable to a Spell Caster's Wizard Heart after three or four fusions.

Each Wizard Heart was already so powerful, much less if the six were combined. Perhaps since the birth of Spell Casters, no one had had a single Wizard Heart as strong as Merlin's.

In the Illusory World, although he knew that it was illusory, the powerful feeling of the Wizard Heart in is body was very realistic, making people feel as if they were in the real world.

Merlin took a deep breath, and began to adjust his mind. This feeling of reality was exactly what Merlin needed. Even if he failed, Merlin also hoped that he would get some experience and understanding from it.

Merlin first chose the Fire-type Wizard Heart and the Thunder-type Wizard Heart. When Wizard Setoh had extrapolated the various possibilities in the future, he had already "personally" experienced the process of combining Wizard Hearts. Thus, he was very familiar.

"Combine!"

As Merlin used his powerful Mind Power, the two Wizard Hearts that Merlin was most familiar with started to slowly merge together. These two Wizard Hearts had just touched before exploding in a violent shaking force. It was almost exactly the same as the various possible futures that Wizard Setoh had extrapolated.

As a result, Merlin paid more attention, and continued to focus his mind as if he was truly combining the Wizard Hearts.

"Bang."

Under Merlin's forced merging, the two Wizard Hearts were unable to successfully combine. Although Merlin was not blasted to smithereens from the violent force, the other Wizard Hearts in Merlin's body were all shattered.

Thus, Merlin's first attempt at fusing in the Illusory World had failed.

"Good, good! What a realistic experience. So, illusions can also reach this degree?"

Merlin was shocked from his heart. He felt that there would be many differences when trying to fuse a Wizard Heart in the Illusory World, and that it might even affect his judgment when he truly fused a Wizard Heart in the future.

However, after this first attempt, Merlin realized that there was no difference from when he tried fusing spells under Wizard Setoh's extrapolation of the future.

If there was a difference, then it was because Merlin was not confident. Deep in his heart, he still felt that it was an illusion, and so could not represent changes in the real world.

If there was just a slight difference, it would be very fatal to Merlin when he had combined his Six-Elemental Wizard Heart in the future.

"There'll definitely be some flaws. It's an illusion after all. Some changes in the fusing process can't be completely believed but it's still very appropriate to use it to absorb some experience in the fusing process!"

Merlin carefully concluded his first attempt at combining spell models in the Illusory World. There were still many benefits but his Mind Power was indeed being spent very quickly. Trying to fuse another two to three times would consume most of Merlin's Mind Power and cause him to become fatigued. At that time, he would not be able to continue remaining at the Illusory World.

However, the greatest advantage still lay in the Illusory World where Merlin could grasp the initiative in his hands. He made up his mind to combine the Fire-type Wizard Heart and the Thunder-Type Wizard Heart.

Therefore, he remained in the Illusory World, and fused the Two-Elemental Wizard Heart unceasingly, accumulating a lot of experience. In the future when Merlin truly started fusing the Two-Elemental Wizard Heart, it would be very advantageous, imperceptibly increasing his chances of a successful combination.

While Merlin was combining spells in the Illusory World, in the front line battlefield, the Rock Tribe and Spell Casters were plunged into a frantic battle.

In just a few months, both sides had lost more than thirty Great Legends.

Usually, the death of a Great Legend would be a major event, but now, dozens of Great Legends had died. This had shown the cruelty of the civilization war.

However, it was still the Spell Casters who had lost more. Originally, with the Spell Casters' overall strength, they wanted to occupy some advantages. However, after a few months of battle, they ended up losing the most.

"Wizard Setoh, we can't carry on like this. We must find a way! Even if the strength of the Progenitor's Bodies formed by the Rock Creatures is only comparable to a Great Wizard, when they unite, their power greatly increases. We're at a great disadvantage!"

In the main hall of the castle, many Great Wizards fixed their eyes on Arcane Wizard Setoh, their eyes full of expectation. They hoped that Arcane Wizard Setoh could come up with an effective way to reverse the situation!

Chapter 639: Retreat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For this war, Arcane Wizard Setoh had used almost all the forces in Setoh Arcane City, and gathered a large number Great Wizards as well as four Great Lords to oversee it.

In the Spell Caster civilization, the three great Arcane Cities were just like three great armies, each responsible for some areas. The war that erupted with the Rock Tribe had always been in an area under Setoh Arcane City.

As the Ultimate Arcane Wizard of Setoh Arcane City, Arcane Wizard Setoh naturally wanted to end this war just by relying on the power of Setoh Arcane City.

However, now, the battle had developed into a brutal civilization war. Great Legends had started to participate, and every death of a Legendary Wizard was a loss to the entire Spell Caster civilization.

The most important thing was that the Spell Caster civilization was currently at a disadvantage. Since the war broke out with the Rock Tribe, although both sides were damaged, the Spell Caster civilization suffered the most losses.

Arcane Wizard Setoh would not ask for help from the two other Arcane Wizards unless necessary. After all, all three great Arcane Wizards with their Arcane Cities as the foundation, had their own enemies. Some were responsible for the Atlan civilization, and some were responsible for the God Alliance but they could all handle it. Arcane Wizard Setoh naturally had his pride. This was the first time he was personally responsible for commanding numerous Spell Casters to fight in a civilization war.

However, their opponent was one of the strongest foreign civilizations the Spell Caster civilization had encountered in the past three thousand years.

"Wizard Setoh, the Rock Tribe is well prepared. They have countless Rock Creatures below Legend led by one Legend. They can form a strong Progenitor's Body that's comparable to powerful Great Legends. For those above Legend, when they combine, the Progenitor's Body formed will almost break the power limit. A Progenitor's Body formed by sixteen ordinary Ancestor-level Rock Creatures would be equivalent to a Great Honored Legend! This caused us to suffer heavy losses before the war erupted!"

The Nightmare Lord, one of the four Great Lords, said that every Arcane City had a few Lords. The Nightmare Lord was fully deserving of his title, and was the number one Lord under Arcane Wizard Setoh.

The Nightmare Lord was relatively young. Of course, this was opposite to Spell Casters like the Blackfire Lord who had existed since the Molta Empire era. However, the Nightmare Lord's talent was extremely terrifying. In just a short period of two thousand years, not only had he become a Lord but he also went all the way, and formed four ultimate Maxims.

Legends generally formed a Maxim while Honored Legends formed ultimate Maxims. Those who had more than two ultimate Maxims would be qualified to be called a Lord.

The Nightmare Lord had formed four ultimate Maxims. Furthermore, he was also a Six-Elemental Wizard in addition to forming many ultimate Maxims. Talent like this really made others gasp in amazement.

Even the Blackfire Lord, one of the oldest Lords, had only formed two ultimate Maxims. His distance was far from the Nightmare Lord.

Therefore, among the four Great Lords in the front line, the Nightmare Lord was the leader. In Wizard Setoh's absence, the Nightmare Lord would call the shots. The Nightmare Lord also took the entire situation into account in this war with the Rock Creatures, and was naturally clear on some of the advantages the Rock Tribe currently had.

"Nightmare Lord, what do you think we should do now?"

Wizard Setoh greatly respected the Nightmare Lord, and asked in a heavy voice.

The Nightmare Lord's expression was worried as he slowly said, "We must first withdraw a distance and start arranging Runic Magic Circles, giving play to our Spell Casters' advantages! The Rock Tribe can form the Progenitor's Body but we can also use Runic Magic Circles to suppress them. If they refuse to enter the Runic Magic Circle, then even better. We can take advantage of that period to recuperate and discuss more concrete arrangements for the civilization war."

"We should indeed arrange Runic Magic Circles but we'll need to retreat first. I'm afraid it'll be a great blow to their morale!"

The Sorrow Lord frowned as he spoke. The Spell Caster civilization was also very proud. Since stepping into the Void Zone three thousand years ago, they had encountered countless foreign civilizations, and many civilization wars had also erupted. They had even suffered some major setbacks but generally, they still held the advantage.

Taking the initiative to retreat like this time was very rare, especially since they still had some misgivings about the influence it would bring. The three great Arcane Cities had an aloof position in the Spell Caster civilization, just like three giants that commanded all Spell Casters.

However, now, Setoh Arcane City repeatedly retreated in the war with the Rock Tribe, and even destroyed more than a dozen civilizations. That had a very bad influence on Setoh Arcane City.

"Sorrow Lord, no one wants to retreat now. However, if we don't, even more Legends will die. That's not a wise move."

The Nightmare Lord also understood the Sorrow Lord's apprehensions. They all belonged to Setoh Arcane City. If they lost this time, Setoh Arcane City would decline, and be completely pressed down by the two other great Arcane Cities.

There were definitely extremely harmonious relationships between the three Arcane Wizards but secretly, a mutual positive competition was inevitable. This was also the first time Setoh Arcane City faced such a powerful civilization where a civilization war even broke out. To the Spell Casters in Setoh Arcane City, this was both a danger and an opportunity.

Once Setoh Arcane City had resisted the Rock Tribe civilization, then Setoh Arcane City, which was established the latest, could truly be worthy of becoming one of the giants in the Spell Caster civilization.

In the Void Zone, civilizations that had ultimate beings were generally not weak civilizations. They would be able to step out into the Void Zone and slowly develop, passing on their civilization.

One reason for establishing the three great Arcane Cities was to absorb prodigies, then they could gather the power of all the Spell Casters and better cope with other civilizations. However, the more important reason was to be prepared for any eventualities.

If one day, the Spell Caster civilization encountered a particularly powerful civilization, then any of the three great Arcane Cities could individually lead their own forces. They would then leave the Spell Caster civilization, and go to a distant place to recuperate so as not to let the inheritance of the civilization be cut.

The other two great Arcane Wizards had both experienced a civilization war once, and both were with foreign civilizations with ultimate existences. Only Arcane Wizard Setoh, the latest among the three great Arcane wizards to become an Arcane Wizard, and Setoh Arcane City, which was also the latest to be established, had not experienced a civilization war before.

The civilization war with the Rock Tribe was also Setoh Arcane City's first civilization war. Although Arcane Wizard Setoh tried his best to prevent the civilization war from happening, it was inevitable after all, and a civilization war had erupted. Now, Arcane Wizard Setoh only had one objective, and that was to win the civilization war. At least, they had to get the upper hand.

"Retreat. Retreat immediately! This civilization war won't have a winner in a short period of time. It's very likely to last for hundreds or even thousands of years. Retreating once doesn't mean anything. What's most important is to preserve our strength and wait until countermeasures are discussed. Then we'll drive the Rock Tribe out!"

After considering everyone's opinions, Arcane Wizard Setoh finally decided to take the Nightmare Lord's suggestion to retreat first, and arrange a Runic Magic Circle. They could not stubbornly hold on if they knew that it was detrimental.

"Phew…"

Several Great Legends secretly let out sighs. They were aware of the cruelty of a civilization war. Now that the Rock Tribe held the advantage, they should retreat first to avoid excessive losses.

"Nightmare Lord, Arctic Lord, both of you are proficient in runes. Choose some Legendary Wizards who are also proficient in runology and arrange a large Runic Magic Circle. Once the Magic Circle is completed, we'll retreat immediately!

After a pause, Arcane Wizard Setoh glanced at the Blackfire Lord and said, "Blackfire Lord, return to the Alabaster Dimension first. There have also been many Spell Casters rushing over there lately. You'll gather those Spell Casters. In the future, there will definitely be a need to replenish Wizards in the front line. I'll leave this to you, Blackfire Lord."

The Blackfire Lord opened his mouth to refuse. He knew that returning to the Alabaster Dimension meant that he would not be in any danger. However, he could only nod and agree after seeing Arcane Wizard Setoh's stern eyes.

"Alright, everyone, get ready. I'll personally oversee the front line and buy you time!"

A smile appeared on Wizard Setoh's lips. Although he would not really take action, the Rock Tribe would definitely be somewhat fearful if he was the one overseeing the front line. He would be able to buy some time for the Nightmare Lord and the Arctic Lord to arrange the Runic Magic Circle.

Thus, the four Great Lords all led a few Legendary Wizards, and left the castle.

Chapter 640: First Try

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Illusory World, Merlin did not know how many times he had tried to combine the Fire-type Wizard Heart and the Thunder-type Wizard Heart. Although he still failed, as Merlin gradually summed up his experiences, he gained a very deep understanding of the two spells.

Therefore, with the passage of time, Merlin's success rate gradually increased even though he was in the Illusory World, and was only "simulating" fusing Wizard Hearts in an illusion.

"I should be able to give it a try now!"

Merlin's Mind Projection in the Illusory World instantly disappear. When he opened his eyes, his entire person felt different.

In the Illusory World, he already lost count of the number of times he "died". Even if it was an illusion and a simulation, Merlin still greatly benefited from it.

Courage was needed before life and death. In the Illusory World, Merlin had encountered many cases where he was obviously going to fail. However, he did not step back, and instead, went forward all the same, determined to combine the spells.

In the end, with his perseverance, the fusion succeeded. Although the probability was very small, it had a great impact on Merlin.

After countless fusion "simulations", Merlin's success rate in the Illusory World had already reached more than eighty percent. This was a frightening number. With such a high probability, even if it was from a simulation in the Illusory World, it still filled Merlin with confidence.

Therefore, Merlin was finally ready to try fusing the Fire-type Wizard Heart and the Thunder-type Wizard Heart in reality.

Merlin immersed his consciousness inside his body. Currently, in his Awareness, there were no complicated Spell Models. There were only six Wizard Hearts.

These Wizard Hearts exuded powerful life forces. Although it was not as complicated as a Spell Model, their power was much stronger than that of the previous Spell Models.

Merlin directed his focus on the Fire-type Wizard Heart and the Thunder-type Wizard Heart. This was the Two-Elemental Wizard Heart that Merlin simulated the most in the Illusory World with a success rate of over eighty percent.

However, it would be the first time he was combining them in reality!

Merlin made a very heavy decision to combine the Wizard Hearts. Previously, he used the Matrix to construct Spell Models and they were always stable. Therefore, there had never been any danger.

However, it was different this time. The Matrix was of no use to Merlin and could not help Merlin combine the Wizard Hearts. Now, Merlin had to rely on himself. Everything had to be analyzed and attempted by him.

If it failed, it would very likely end up like how it did in the Illusory World. He would be blown apart by the exploding Magic Power or his Wizard Heart would completely collapse. Merlin would become an ordinary person, unable to become a Spell Caster ever again.

The price of failure was something Merlin could not afford!

However, Merlin had to take this step even if he could not bear the heavy cost.

"Phew…"

Merlin breathed a sigh and tried to calm his mood.

"Combine!"

Finally, Merlin mobilized the Fire-type Wizard Heart and the Thunder-type Wizard Heart. The two different types of extremely violent Wizard Hearts started to draw closer under Merlin's control.

Just like in the Illusory World, Merlin was very familiar with this series of actions. He knew every detail as well as what might happen.

However, he just did not know if it would be as smooth as in the Illusory World.

As Merlin gradually brought the two Wizard Hearts together, something unexpected happened. The two Wizard Hearts had not come into contact but there was already some shaking, causing instability in his entire Awareness.

A Spell Caster's Awareness was incredibly unstable. Just a little turmoil could cause the Spell Models in the Awareness to collapse. In the Illusory World, Merlin had experienced several times where he failed because of turbulence in his Awareness, causing the other Wizard Hearts to collapse.

Therefore, Merlin also felt his Awareness begin to shake. His heart trembled but he had no way to stop it now. The two Wizard Hearts were approaching rapidly.

His Awareness was getting more turbulent as if it could collapse at any moment. Merlin's expression was very grave. He had never thought that such an accident would happen in his first attempt in combining Wizard Hearts in reality.

If this continued, the fusion would very likely end up in failure, and the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

"I can't let my Awareness continue shaking like this."

Merlin gnashed his teeth, and mobilized all his Mind Power. The huge Mind Power was like a torrent that Merlin used to stabilize the turbulent Awareness.

This method was indeed useful. Merlin's Mind Power was far superior to an ordinary Mind Power Master's and could be used to stabilize the Awareness. However, this also consumed a large amount of Mind Power. If he did not combine the Fire-type Wizard Heart and the Thunder-type Wizard Heart in a short period of time, then his Awareness could completely collapse at any time because of the turbulence.

"Tss."

Finally, the two Wizard Hearts started slowly combine but as soon as they touched, a terrifying storm raged. Thankfully, Merlin's enormous Mind Power was able to stabilize his Awareness. Otherwise, the aftermath of the Two-Elemental Wizard Heart's first contact would be enough to make the Awareness collapse.

"I didn't think this through enough and make it absolutely foolproof. I should have used my Mind Power to stabilize the Awareness before combining, just in case!"

Merlin also summed up the experience. The first time he tried to fuse Spell Models in reality, he had encountered an unexpected situation. Fortunately, he managed to use his Mind Power to stabilize his Awareness in time. However, this also let Merlin realize just how dangerous it was to combine Spell Models.

It was not surprising that many ninth-level Spell Casters did not dare to combine Spell Models even after hundreds of years. It was because merging Spell Models was too dangerous. Once they failed, they would never have a second chance.

"Tss-tss-tss!"

The two Wizard Hearts had only been partly combined but they had become more turbulent as if the two Wizard Hearts could collapse at any moment.

Merlin closed his eyes, and countless images flashed in his mind, most of which were images when he was "simulating" fusing spells in the Illusory World.

Among them, it was very common for the Wizard Heart to shake violently when the merging reached the halfway point. However, the final result was often failure!

The Wizard Hearts grew more and more unstable, and Merlin could even feel an aura of "death".

At this point, the only thing Merlin could do was use his Mind Power to stabilize the violent shakes of the Wizard Hearts. His heart suddenly missed the Kingdom of Blackmoon.

Merlin thought of Old Wilson, Macy, Avril, Charise, the Dark Magic Region, and so on. From meeting old man Etha at Blackwater City and encountering spells, he grew step by step, and entered the Dark Magic Region, becoming a powerful Wizard.

All of this turned into images in Merlin's mind.

"I still want to return to the Kingdom of Blackmoon and fulfill my promise from back then. I want to return to Blackwater City to retake Wilson Castle…"

Merlin's calm Mind Power seemed to be boiling at this moment. Looking at the increasingly turbulent Wizard Hearts, Merlin went all out. His unwavering conviction also integrated into his Mind Heart.

"It absolutely can't collapse. Combine, you have to combine!"

Merlin's cold eyes revealed a trace of madness. He directly used his powerful Mind Power to forcibly interfere with the fusion of the two Wizard Hearts.

From all directions, the Mind Power forcibly "combined" the Fire-type Wizard Heart and the Thunder-type Wizard Heart. Merlin also did not know if there was any effect but at this point, he definitely could not give up!

"Boom."

After an unknown amount of time, Merlin's Awareness shook, and he discovered that the Fire and Thunder-type Wizard Hearts had disappeared. Merlin looked in his Awareness, and saw a unique Wizard Heart that was emitting dazzling golden light slowly appear…

Chapter 641: The Blackfire Lord's Summon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"The Wizard Heart. I've finally succeeded!"

Merlin looked at the Wizard Heart in his Awareness. There was only a total of five now. Four smaller Wizard Hearts were scattered around, surrounding a larger golden Wizard Heart like stars holding the moon.

This relatively larger and extremely unique Wizard Heart was Merlin's successful fusion of the Fire-type and Thunder-type Wizard Hearts, which had now merged into one, and was filled with power.

"Fire!"

Merlin raised a finger, and a flame immediately revolved around his fingertip, changing its shape at will. After a moment, it became a fire snake, then it rapidly expanded and became a raging and roaring fire dragon.

Then, with a thought, the fire dragon instantly flashed, and bouts of electricity appeared on its body, like chains locking up the fire dragon.

Merlin finally revealed a satisfied smile between the corners of his mouth. The new Wizard Heart which he had combined from the Fire-type and Thunder-type Wizard Hearts could freely change its shape and could also freely transform in spells. There was no conflict between Thunder-type spells and Fire-type Spells. It was not much different to a Great Wizard's multi-colored Wizard Heart.

Furthermore, he felt that the power of the Two-Elemental Spell after fusing the Wizard Heart had increased significantly, almost reaching the power of his Four-Elemental spell fusion. It had almost reached the Legendary level, and was only slightly inferior to the seventh form of Darkness Eye.

Putting away the Wizard Heart, Merlin recalled the earlier danger when he was combining the Wizard Heart. It really was too dangerous. The fusion "simulation" in the Illusory World was indeed useful but it could not be taken completely seriously.

After all, one would encounter all kinds of unexpected situations in reality. Fortunately, this time, Merlin had forcefully combined the Wizard Heart according to the situation he encountered in the Illusory World, which was why he succeeded. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's been such a long time since I went to the Void Zone from the Kingdom of Blackmoon. I wonder how Father, Macy, Avril, and Charise are doing."

At the critical moment when Merlin was combining the Wizard Hearts, between life and death, Merlin thought about Old Wilson and the others. After being in the Void Zone for so long, Merlin also wanted to go back to the Kingdom of Blackmoon to take a look. However, after such a long time, Merlin failed to find any traces of the Glorious Land.

If the Glorious Land really was sealed by the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards, it would be very difficult for Merlin to return to the Kingdom of Blackmoon again.

"When this war is over, I'll ask Wizard Setoh."

Then, Merlin went into the Illusory World and started to "simulate" a Three-Elemental spell fusion. His current Two-Elemental spell's power was still somewhat poor. At least a Three-Elemental spell would be able to compare to the third form of Darkness Eye. If he could combine a Four-Elemental Wizard Heart, its power would surpass Darkness Eye and rival even Great Wizards with two or more Maxims.

Several days passed, and Merlin's ring suddenly shook.

In Merlin's ring was Legend Zado's Maxim avatar, so Merlin immediately woke up, and stopped the simulating fusing the Wizard Heart in the Illusory World.

"Whoosh."

Merlin opened the Spatial Ring and saw that Legend Zado's Maxim avatar was indeed shaking inside.

"Teacher Zado, what happened? Did the civilization war end?"

Merlin naturally thought about the civilization war first. Over the past few months, he had received very little information about the civilization war while he was in the Alabaster Dimension. He only knew that the two sides were locked in a stalemate, and the war would not be lost or won for a while.

Legend Zado shook his head. "Of course the civilization war isn't over yet. The Blackfire Lord has returned to the Alabaster Dimension and has called for you!"

"Teacher Blackfire has returned to the Alabaster Dimension?"

Merlin's heart shook. He also knew about the Blackfire Lord's position as one of the four Great Lords at the front line as well as having a special relationship with Arcane Wizard Setoh. The Blackfire Lord's every move had attracted the attention of countless Wizards.

However, he had unexpectedly returned to the Alabaster Dimension silently and secretly. Something major must have happened at the front line.

"Alright, we'll go see Teacher Blackfire now!"

Merlin stood up and flew toward the Alabaster Dimension where the Blackfire Lord's castle was.In the Blackfire Lord's castle, ever since he returned to the Alabaster Dimension, he immediately called some Legendary Wizards who had just returned to the Alabaster Dimension.

In the past few months, over thirty Great Legends had gathered in the large Alabaster Dimension, and more Great Legends were still coming in succession.

These Legendary Wizards all belonged to Setoh Arcane City's camp, and rushed under Arcane Wizard Setoh's orders. However, there were no Honored Legends. After all, Honored Legends were relatively rare, and some might still be far away, so it would require some time before they arrive at the front line.

When these Great Legends heard that the situation at the front line was not favorable, they were all deeply anxious.

However, they did not dare to disobey Arcane Wizard Setoh's orders. Therefore, the Blackfire Lord let them go and prepare. Perhaps before long, he would personally bring those Great Legends into the front line.

This was the task that Wizard Setoh gave to the Blackfire Lord, to organize more Great Legends and provide reinforcements to the front line!

"Blackfire Lord, Merlin is here!"

Legend Zado quickly looked up and glanced at the door. This time, he followed the Blackfire Lord to the Alabaster Dimension. A few Wizards helped the Blackfire Lord to deal with some matters in the Alabaster Dimension.

The Blackfire Lord raised his head. Hearing a familiar voice from outside the door, he swiftly flew into the castle.

"Teacher Blackfire, Teacher Zado!"

Merlin arrived at the castle, and saw that the Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado were present and bowed to them. Both of them were considered his Teachers.

"Merlin, you're here!"

A smile appeared on the Blackfire Lord's face. He valued Merlin very much. Currently, Merlin's Mind Power was even stronger than his. There was hope of him perfecting the Mind Power system in the future.

However, when he carefully observed Merlin, his expression changed greatly, and his eyes were full of shock.

"Merlin, have you begun to combine Spell Models?"

With the Blackfire Lord's eyes, he naturally saw at a glance that Merlin had combined the Fire-type and Thunder-type Spell Models. That was the first step to becoming a Great Wizard but it was also the most crucial.

"You've finally taken that step. However… that might not be a good thing."

The Blackfire Lord's expression was very complicated. As a Great Lord, he naturally knew what it meant for a Spell Caster to start attempting to fuse Spell Models.

Perhaps other Spell Casters would be delighted by this. Even Legend Zado was overjoyed. His Maxim avatar could not see Merlin's current change, but his true body could see at a glance Merlin's differences, just like the Blackfire Lord could.

Legend Zado had hoped that Merlin could become a Great Wizard and lay a firm foundation for forming Maxims but the Blackfire Lord seemed to have some other concerns.

The Blackfire Lord did not care if Merlin could become a Great Wizard or not or whether he could form a Maxim to become a Great Legend. He had high hopes on Merlin to perfect the Mind Power system, and only hoped that Merlin would devote himself to research and perfect the Mind Power system, and open up a new cultivation system.

However, now, Merlin had started combining Spell Models and took the first step into becoming a Great Wizard. Once he took this step, he would no longer be able to turn back, and could only move ahead bravely.

This was just a combined Two-Elemental spell. There were still Three-Elemental spells, Four-Elemental spells, Five-Elemental spells, and even Six-Elemental combined spells. Each step was extremely dangerous. If Merlin was just slightly careless, he would die because of the failed fusion.

It could be said that currently, Merlin was in constant danger.

What the Blackfire Lord did not want to see most had become reality, but the Blackfire Lord had no choice. He could tell that Merlin obviously did not intend to concentrate solely on studying the Mind Power system, and saw the Mind Power system only as a means to increase his power.

"Teacher Blackfire, what's the matter? Is there anything wrong?"

Merlin was a little confused. He did not know why the Blackfire Lord was showing such a complicated expression.

The Blackfire Lord quickly adjusted his mood, and slowly restored his calmness. Instead of tangling this matter, he asked Merlin with a solemn expression, "Merlin, do you know the current situation at the front line?"

Merlin shook his head. He only heard rumors about the situation at the front line and did not understand much.

"What's the situation like now? Also, why did you return to the Alabaster Dimension, Teacher Blackfire?"

Merlin also eagerly asked.

"The current situation is very bad. The Rock Creatures had made ample preparations, and can form the Progenitor's Body. It's a great impact on us. Since the beginning of the war, dozens of Great Legends have already died, and most of them are Spell Casters! Therefore, Wizard Setoh led Wizards out to the front line to arrange a Runic Magic Circle, and let me come back to the Alabaster Dimension to gather the Spell Casters arriving here to quickly provide aid to the front line."

With the Blackfire Lord's explanation, Merlin quickly understood the situation on the front line. In short, it was not optimistic at all, and very unfavorable to the Spell Caster civilization.

Setting up a Runic Magic Circle could perhaps temporarily suppress the Rock Tribe's strength, but not by much. If it went on for a long time, the Spell Caster civilization would still be at a disadvantage.

It was very likely that in the end, the Spell Caster civilization would lose this civilization war. That was the worst-case scenario, and also a result that Arcane Wizard Setoh was unable to accept.

"Merlin, the civilization war has already started. Civilization-level prodigies like you won't be of much use anymore. Wizard Setoh has already decided to let Sven and the others return to Arcane City, and stop participating in the front line of the civilization war. As for you, I also want you to go back to Arcane City but on my way back, I suddenly had a thought. I want a definite answer from you."

The Blackfire Lord narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Merlin. His expression also slowly became solemn

Chapter 642: Back to the Front Line

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Teacher Blackfire, what do you want to know?"

Merlin saw the Blackfire Lord's serious expresssion, and also gradually steeled his.

"Merlin, you're a Mind Power Master, and your achievement in Mind Power has far exceeded me. Before, when you dealt with the Progenitor Squad and the six civilization-level Rock Creature prodigies, you always used your Mind Power and Hallucinating spell. They're indeed very strong. However, I want you to tell me now, can you make ordinary Great Legends fall into your illusion?"

The Blackfire Lord asked in a deep voice. It turned out to be something about Mind Power. The Blackfire Lord was a Mind Power Master who had reached the second-stage of the Hallucinating spell realm. He knew very well about Hallucinating spells. He also knew that Merlin's Hallucinating spell was already far above him.

However, the Blackfire Lord was not sure of what degree it had reached.

Merlin hesitated for a moment. His Hallucinating spell was currently only at the third stage and could let those below Legend fall into an illusion. However, against civilization-level prodigies or Great Legends, he would need to use the Illusory World.

The Illusory World could be mobilized with Merlin's current Mind Power, and was enough to let ordinary Great Legends with only one Maxim fall into an illusion.

However, there was a flaw, which was that it could not last! Merlin could not mobilize the Illusory World for a long period of time.

Thus, Merlin still nodded and said, "I can cause Great Legends to fall into an illusion but only if those Great Legends have one Maxim. It'll be very difficult if the Great Legend has two or more Maxims. Furthermore, it can't hold on for long."

"That's great. I knew you would be able to do it!"

The Blackfire Lord revealed a smile and continued. "Originally, I wanted to send you with Sven and the others back to Arcane City but it seems that you can only stay at the front line for a while. The present situation at the front line is very unfavorable to us. The Rock Creatures can form the Progenitor's Body, and although we've already prepared Runic Magic Circles, it can't completely hold them back. That's why I have another idea, which was to make a very special squad with you as the center. I'll personally lead it, and there'll be other Honored Legends as well. We'll serve as your escorts. In short, you won't be in any danger. All you have to do is cast a Hallucinating spell and make those weaker Progenitor's Bodies fall into an illusion, and the other Great Legends will act and strike them down!"

The Blackfire Lord had this thought because he had seen sixteen ordinary Ancestor-level Rock Creatures form a Progenitor's Body that could be compared to a great Honored Legend. That was extremely unfavorable to the Spell Casters.

The Progenitor Bodies could contend against great Honored Legends, which was an almost decisive advantage against the Spell Caster camp. It made the Spell Casters completely helpless. Only by mobilizing the Honored Legends in the other two great Arcane Cities in the Spell Caster civilization would they be able to completely suppress the Progenitor Bodies. After all, in terms of numbers, there were a limited amount of Ancestor-level Rock Creatures in the Rock Tribe. It was far less than the Spell Caster civilization.

As a result, on his way back to the Alabaster Dimension, the Blackfire Lord thought of Merlin. A Mind Power Master's Hallucinating spell did not require any strong power. It could just be directly used on the Rock Creatures that formed the Progenitor's Body. As long as they were ordinary weak Ancestor-levels, it was entirely possible for them to fall into the illusion.

Even if only one of the Rock Creatures fell into the illusion, it would lead to the instability of the Progenitor's Body, and the Spell Casters could seize the opportunity to defeat them.

This was only the Blackfire Lord's idea. They would still have to test it out to know if it would work or not.

"Merlin, although I'll make full preparations, and all Great Legends will protect you and not let you face danger directly, situations on the battlefield change rapidly. No one knows what will happen. You…"

Before the Blackfire Lord had finished speaking, Merlin answered, "Teacher Blackfire, I'm willing to try. I'm also a member of the Spell Caster civilization and a member of Setoh Arcane City. Since I already have the strength to contend against Great Legends, I should go to the front line immediately. Teacher Blackfire, I'll obey your arrangements."

The Blackfire Lord sighed deeply and said, "In that case, there's no time to lose. I'll immediately call twenty Legendary Wizards in the Alabaster Dimension and rush to the front line as soon as possible."

Merlin nodded, and quietly prepared in the castle.In the cold and dark Void Zone, Merlin and twenty Great Wizards sat in a casting tool, and quickly rushed over to the front line.

These Legendary Wizards had all just become Great Legends not long ago and had not experienced the cruel civilization war, so they still seemed relatively relaxed along the way.

However, Merlin was not as relaxed. He was deeply aware of the cruelty of the civilization war. Many Spell Casters had already died before the civilization war began, much less after.

Therefore, he was still at the Illusory World, constantly trying to simulate fusing Spell Models, trying to ruse Three-Elemental and Four-Elemental spells as soon as possible.

Only by becoming stronger would he be safer in the cruel civilization war.

They very quickly arrived at the front line but at this time, it looked completely different. It was much different from the chaotic battlefield before the Blackfire Lord left.

Presently, between the Spell Casters and the Rock Tribe, there was a relatively empty area. It was where the Runic Magic Circle was just been arranged. The Spell Casters would not take the initiative to attack and were waiting for the Rock Creatures to step into the Runic Magic Circle.

Although they knew the Runic Magic Circle was very unfavorable to the Rock Tribe, the Rock Creatures had no choice but to step into the Runic Magic Circle. Currently, time was very precious to them. They wanted to follow up their victories and press home the attack, and make the Spell Casters suffer as heavy losses as possible.

As for the Spell Casters, they needed time to recuperate and adjust their war tactics.

Then, the Rock Tribe Progenitor Hanra ordered the Rock Creatures to enter the Runic Magic Circle, and a large amount of Rock Creatures formed the Progenitor's Body and stepped into the Runic Magic Circle. After they entered the Runic Magic Circle, they felt a powerful force of suppression.

Strong Rock Creatures might only be suppressed by ten percent but weaker Rock Creatures might be suppressed by twenty percent or perhaps even more.

Seeing that the Rock Creatures had stepped into the Runic Magic Circle, Arcane Wizard Setoh could only order the Spell Casters to fight the Rock Creatures in the Runic Magic Circle. They could not keep retreating time and time again. If they had retreated again, they would most likely have to retreat back to the Alabaster Dimension. At that time, it might mean that hundreds of Spell Caster civilization dimensions would be involved in the war. This was a price that Wizard Setoh could not afford under any circumstances!

With the Runic Magic Circle's suppression, the Spell Caster civilization finally did not seem to lose as much as before. However, as the Rock Tribe continued to increase the amount of Ancestor-level beings, they still had the overall upper hand, and the Spell Caster camp was still at a disadvantage.

"If this goes on, Setoh Arcane City's losses might be irreparable even after hundreds of years!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh was also quite helpless but he had no choice. They could not retreat any longer, so the only other option was to fight.

"Swoosh."

A huge flying ship slowly appeared at the front line. A figure flew out of the flying ship, heading straight toward Wizard Setoh.

Wizard Setoh's expression shook and a smile appeared on his face. He hurriedly asked, "Blackfire, you're finally here. How many Legendary Wizards did you bring from the Alabaster Dimension this time?"

At present, a few Legendary Wizards died almost every few days, causing great losses. Wizard Setoh could not wait for the reinforcements.

The Blackfire Lord said somewhat helplessly, "Wizard Setoh, there's not even thirty Legendary Wizards left in the Alabaster Dimension. I brought them all over."

"Not even thirty? The number is somewhat small. It can still supplement some losses but it's unable to turn the tide of the war."

Wizard Setoh was slightly disappointed when he heard that not even thirty Legendary Wizards were left. This force could only be used as a supplement but could not turn the tide of the war. What Wizard Setoh pondered over now was a way to turn the tables in the Spell Caster camp's favor.

"Blackfire, I have some hesitation on letting the remaining Lords from Arcane City come to the front line but the current situation is very unfavorable to us. No matter what, we definitely can't lose this civilization war against the Rock Tribe! That's why I decided to let the five Lords from Setoh Arcane City to come here as well as some Honored Legends who stayed behind to take care of things. Also, those idle Great Legends will all be transferred here in Setoh Arcane City's name. This is a war mobilization order. No one is allowed to violate it!"

Wizard Setoh's voice was full of conviction, showing that he had already made up his mind. The nine Great Lords were Setoh Arcane City's most powerful force.

Although Wizard Setoh was one of the Three Great Arcane Wizards, he was the last to become an Arcane Wizard, and also the last to establish an Arcane City. Therefore, Setoh Arcane Wizard's strength was also the weakest among the three great Arcane Cities.

Even so, the nine Great Lords overseeing Setoh Arcane City were a terrifying force. The Spell Caster civilization lasted for three thousand years, and it was only the civilization war with the Atlan civilization that required the Spell Casters to send one Arcane Wizard and nine Great Lords to fight in.

However, the war with the Atlan civilization had lasted for thousands of years while the civilization war with the Rock Tribe had just begun. It was very rare to assemble such a huge force.

The Blackfire Lord raised his head, and said with a peculiar expression, "Wizard Setoh, the situation hasn't declined to that level. The five Great Lords overseeing Arcane City will ensure that Arcane City is safe. Furthermore, we need some powerful Lords to oversee our inner ranks. It's not suitable now to assemble the last five Lords yet. I have an idea now. Even if it might not be able to turn the tides, it can at least ease our disadvantage and let the Rock Tribe suffer serious losses!"

"You have an idea? Even the Runic Magic Circle couldn't reverse the situation and inflict heavy losses on the Rock Tribe. What idea do you have?"

Even an Ultimate Arcane Wizard like Wizard Setoh was unable to hit the Rock Tribe with the current forces on the front line, much less the Blackfire Lord.

Therefore, Wizard Setoh had some doubts about the Blackfire Lord's words.

The Blackfire Lord revealed a mysterious smile and said calmly, "Merlin, come here and meet Wizard Setoh."

With the Blackfire Lord's voice, a familiar voice flew out from the gigantic flying ship. Arcane Wizard Setoh's gaze suddenly froze but his expression became extremely astonished.

"Merlin? Your disciple?"

Arcane Wizard Setoh looked at Merlin, who was flying over, and a hint of hesitation crept on his face. The civilization war had already erupted, and those below Legend were of no use. No one below Legend in the Spell Caster camp participated. Only the Rock Creatures could form a Progenitor's Body, so some powerful upper-rank Rock Creatures worked together to form a Progenitor's Body and participated in the civilization war.

Therefore, Merlin's appearance filled Wizard Setoh's heart with doubt.

"Wizard Setoh, Teacher Blackfire!"

Merlin flew over, and saluted Arcane Wizard Setoh and the Blackfire Lord. Then, he respectfully stood to the side.

Wizard Setoh's expression sank, and he asked lowly, "Blackfire, what's the meaning of this? This is a civilization war, and what's needed is absolute strength. Only by mobilizing more Legendary Wizards to the front line would we be able to win the war!"

The civilization war was all about the details, especially those above Legend. Whoever had more Legends and stronger power would win the war. There was no other way.

The Blackfire Lord shook his head lightly and said, "Wizard Setoh, our Legendary Wizards aren't lesser than the Rock Tribe's, so why can't we have the upper hand?"

"The Rock Tribe can form Progenitor's Bodies, which are naturally very unfavorable to us! If everyone were proficient in Runology, how would we be afraid of the Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Bodies?"

Wizard Setoh's tone was also somewhat helpless. The Spell Casters also had a similar way to layer their power, and that was by using Runic Magic Circles, which would not be inferior to the power of the Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Bodies.

It was like the Mille Squad. They were comparable to the Progenitor Squad precisely because of the Runic Magic Circle.

Unfortunately, among the numerous Spell Casters, only a handful was proficient in Runology. They could not all form Progenitor's Bodies as the Rock Tribe could.

"They don't have to be proficient in Runic Magic Circles. Wizard Setoh, I have an idea. Form a special team with Merlin as the center. Of course, they must all be at least Legend, and there must also be some Honored Legends. You should know that Merlin is a Mind Power Master. His Mind Power is formless and incorporeal, and can directly affect those Rock Creatures. Even those who formed Progenitor's Bodies would be affected by Merlin's Mind Power."

"Mind Power?"

Wizard Setoh's eyes stared carefully at Merlin. As an Ultimate Arcane Wizard, Wizard Setoh naturally knew the uniqueness of Mind Power Masters.

In the past, Wizard Setoh had even extrapolated the Mind Power system before but even with his strength as an Ultimate Arcane Wizard, he was unable to extrapolate a perfect Mind Power system. It showed just how profound the Mind Power system was. At least, if someone could perfect the Mind Power system, it would definitely be a new system not inferior to the Spell Caster system!

Moreover, Wizard Setoh also thought about how Merlin handled the Progenitor Squad before. The six civilization-level Rock Creature prodigies formed a Progenitor's Body that was equivalent to a powerful Legend, but Merlin had still won not because Merlin's strength could truly be comparable to those Great Legends but because Merlin's Mind Power could directly affect those Rock Creatures.

The Progenitor's Bodies that the Rock Creatures formed had no effect on Merlin's Mind Power.

"It's risky but we can try it!"

Wizard Setoh looked at the Blackfire Lord and grit his teeth, and immediately began to assemble some Spell Casters.

"Whoosh."

Before long, a Great Legend flew from the front line toward Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"Wizard Setoh, what are your instructions?"

This Great Legend was obviously not an ordinary Legend but a powerful Honored Legend.

"Wizard Yaston, I know that you've been fighting a Progenitor's Body for three days and three nights, but you still can't do anything about it, right?"

Wizard Setoh asked bluntly.

Wizard Yaston's expression changed. He was a grand Honored Legend. Although he had only formed one ultimate Maxim, he was still a great Honored Legend, spanning across countless dimensions.

However, now, he was stuck because of a Progenitor's Body. If it were from middle-rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, then it was acceptable but that Progenitor's Body was formed by only sixteen lower-rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures.

These lower-rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures were only equivalent to ordinary Legends. If they did not form a Progenitor's Body, never mind sixteen, even twenty-six or thirty-six would not be a threat to Yaston.

However, now, those sixteen lower-rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures had formed a Progenitor's Body, and instantly became comparable to a great Honored Legend. They fought for three days and three nights but no victor had emerged yet.

Only sixteen ordinary Legend-equivalent Rock Creatures were needed to pin down a Great Legend. It was not surprising that the Rock Tribe had the upper hand.

Unless the Spell Caster camp had several times more Great Legends and Honored Legends than the Rock Tribe, they would not be able to suppress the Rock Tribe. Otherwise, they would have to remain on the passive.

"Wizard Setoh, those Rock Creatures really are abominable. They're just mere ordinary Legends but with a certain number, they can form a Progenitor's Body that's comparable to an Honored Legend. I'm also helpless against them!"

Yaston's expression was helpless. After fighting for three days, that Progenitor's Body was evenly matched with Yaston. No one could do anything about it.

However, this had also caused the Honored Legend Wizard Yaston to feel aggrieved.

"Oh? Wizard Yaston, I'll give you someone now. Go back and fight with that Progenitor's Body. I believe the results will be different this time."

Wizard Setoh said calmly.

"You're sending another Wizard to send me? Wizard Setoh, which Honored Legend is it? As long as you send another Honored Legend, I guarantee that that Progenitor's Body will be defeated!"

Hearing that Wizard Setoh wanted to send someone to support him, Wizard Yaston immediately grew excited.

"Honored Legend? Wizard Yaston, don't mention Honored Legends. I can't even send out the few remaining Legendary Wizards. Furthermore, he won't be supporting you. You'll be supporting him! Merlin, go with Wizard Yaston. Wizard Yaston will protect you. You only have to give it a try. The Blackfire Lord and I will also assure your safety!"

Wizard Setoh pointed at Merlin, and Legend Yaston's expression changed. His mouth fell open in shock as he stared in astonishment.

"Wizard Seoth, you… you'll send over Wizard Merlin who's not even a Legend? If it were to deal with ordinary Rock Creatures or even the weakest lower-rank Rock Creatures, then perhaps Wizard Merlin would be of help. However, we're going up against a Progenitor's Body that's comparable to an Honored Legend!"

Yaston was also one of the first Legends to reach the front line, so he naturally recognized Merlin. After all, a few days ago before the civilization war erupted, Merlin grew famous for suppressing the Rock Tribe.

However, now that a civilization war had erupted, Yaston did not believe that Merlin would be of any help.

However, Wizard Setoh simply waved his hand. "Yaston, remember. You're the one supporting Wizard Merlin! You have to give your all in supporting Merlin and make sure he's safe. As for whether or not it works, we'll only know after we try."

Wizard Setoh clearly did not want to explain too much, and directly ordered.

Yaston saw that Wizard Setoh had already made up his mind, so he had no other choice. He looked at Merlin and could only nod and say, "Wizard Merlin, please follow me."

Then, Wizard Yaston also nodded toward the Blackfire Lord. He knew that Merlin was the Blackfire Lord's most valuable disciple. With such an identity, Yaston could only do his best to protect Merlin.

However, Yaston did not understand what Wizard Setoh meant. Why would he send Merlin to follow him to go against a Progenitor's Body that was comparable to an Honored Legend? Was that not the same as sending him to his death?

Quickly, the two Wizards reached the front line. Merlin saw a huge silver light at the vast Void Zone. The horizontal line bisected the Void Zone, with Spell Casters on one side and the Rock Tribe on the other.

At this time, the Rock Creatures that brazenly entered the silver light constantly approached the Spell Casters. However, the Spell Casters that stepped into the silver light suffered a powerful suppressive force.

This silver light was the Runic Magic Circle arranged by the Nightmare Lord and the others. To a certain extent, it did help the Spell Caster camp and increased their strength. However, it could not completely resist these Rock Creatures. They were still at a disadvantage.

At the end of the day, it was still because the Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Bodies were too strong. A Progenitor's Body formed by several weak Rock Creatures would instantly become powerful. Although the most powerful Progenitor's Bodies could only be comparable to an Honored Legend, it was enough to enhance the strength of the Rock Tribe several times over.

Thankfully, it was not easy for the Rock Creatures to cultivate. There were not many Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, and there were much less than Spell Casters. Otherwise, the Rock Tribe would be able to sweep countless powerful civilizations just by using their Progenitor's Bodies.

"Wizard Merlin, do you see that tall Progenitor's Body? That's the Progenitor's Body that I've been fighting, and it's comparable to an Honored Legend. We're evenly matched, and neither of us has the upper hand."

Wizard Yaston looked at the Progenitor's Body and felt vexed.

Merlin carefully looked at that Progenitor's Body. As Yaston said, it was formed by sixteen ordinary lower-rank Rock Creatures. However, the Progenitor's Body formed by the sixteen Rock Creatures was comparable to a great Honored Legend.

Merlin's Hallucinating spell had only reached the third stage, and could not plunge Great Legends into the illusion. Therefore, he could only use the Illusory World.

Fortunately, the Illusory World was not split again to refine a Mind avatar. Otherwise, Merlin would not be able to trap Legends into an illusion.

"Wizard Yaston, you must get ready. I might only be able to last for a short amount of time. You have to seize the chance to defeat that Progenitor's Body in one blow!"

"Seize the chance to defeat the Progenitor's Body?"

Wizard Yaston was somewhat astonished, not understanding what Merlin meant. However, Merlin's expression suddenly became solemn. Imperceptibly, Yaston even felt a powerful Mind Power slowly appear.

"Illusory World, go!"

Merlin raised a ringer, and the Illusory World immediately erupted from the illusion bead. Shapeless and without a shadow, it enveloped the Progenitor's Body that was comparable to an Honored Legend without any obstructions!

"Boom."

At that moment, a large number of the Rock Creatures in the Progenitor's Body seemed to be plunged into a strange world. Everything around them disappeared.

"Oh no, what happened?"

Many Rock Creatures immediately realized the danger but they could not free themselves from the illusion. Merlin's Illusory World could confuse even Great Legends who possessed a Mind Heart, much less these Rock Creatures.

Therefore, even if these Rock Creatures knew something was off and that they were in danger, they could not break out of the illusion.

Merlin's expression was solemn as he tried his best to maintain the Illusory World. That Progenitor's Body was clearly unstable. The beautiful Darkness Eye did not have the power to defeat this Progenitor's Body, so he could only turn around and shout toward Wizard Yaston standing beside him, "Wizard Yaston, what are you waiting for? Quickly attack the Progenitor's Body!"

"Right, attack!"

Wizard Yaston gaped. As a Spell Caster, he was not unfamiliar with Mind Power Masters. He already knew that Merlin was using Mind Power but he did not expect that even the Progenitor's Body formed by sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures would be affected.

Now, the Progenitor's Body was unstable. This was a chance to defeat the Progenitor's Body!

"Ultimate Maxim, Destructive Tempest!"

Wizard Yaston became an Honored Legend because of his achievement in his Wind-type Maxim. He immediately used his Wind-type Ultimate Maxim. A terrifying Wind-type Ultimate Maxim covered the sky and swept toward the Progenitor's Body.

"Bang."

The Wind-type Ultimate Maxim viciously hit the Progenitor's Body. Previously, the Progenitor's Body would be able to easily block Wizard Yaston's Ultimate Maxim. However, when the Ultimate Maxim viciously hit it now, the Progenitor's Body began to shake violently, and cracks appeared on its body one after another.

"Ka-cha."

Finally, the Progenitor's Body collapsed with a rumble. The sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures were unable to withstand the power of Wizard Yaston's Ultimate Maxim. Just the violent impact alone had already killed nine Ancestor-level Rock Creatures.

However, it was far from over. Although they lost the Progenitor's Body, these Rock Creatures were still only comparable to ordinary Legends. Yaston laughed. His Ultimate Maxim surged up his body and swept toward them in a wave.

"Haha, you're finally defeated. Do you want to escape? All of you will die!"

The violent Wind-type Maxim was like a giant net that descended in an instant, trapping the remaining seven Rock Creatures. Then, the Wind-type Maxim ruthlessly strangled them.

Sixteen Rock Creatures comparable to Great Legends died just like that, all strangled by Wizard Yaston's Wind-type Maxim. The entire battlefield immediately went silent.

"Retreat, retreat immediately!"

Progenitor Hanra instantly issued the order to retreat. His sharp gaze stared at Merlin. Even though Merlin knew that Wizard Setoh, the Blackfire Lord, and the others were behind protecting him, he could still feel a coldness coming from inside. It was killing intent. The Rock Tribe Progenitor Hanra had already fixed his killing intent on Merlin.

"Haha, sixteen Rock Creatures comparable to Great Legends. This is a great victory. I've never felt this happy in a long time. What a feeling of exaltation, haha!"

Seeing the Rock Tribe retreat, Wizard Yaston could not help but laugh. They had defeated a Progenitor's Body comparable to a Great Legend as well as killed sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. This was something unimaginable ever since the civilization war broke out!

This was an unprecedented victory!

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh."

Wizard Setoh and the Blackfire Lord flew over. Not only Wizard Setoh but the other three Great Lords – the Arctic Lord, the Nightmare Lord, and the Sorrow Lord also flew over, their eyes staring at Merlin with bewilderment.

With their strength as Lords, they naturally knew what had happened. Merlin played the biggest role, and Yaston had relied on Merlin to make the sixteen Rock Creatures forming the Progenitor's Body to fall into the illusion before being able to attack the Progenitor's Body, and deliver the killing blow.

"Wizard Setoh, Wizard Merlin is crucial to us! Who would have thought that Mind Power Masters would have such power? Should we recruit all the relatively powerful Mind Power Masters in Arcane City to the front line?"

The Sorrow Lord said while laughing. The other Great Kings looked at Merlin with fervent eyes. Earlier, when Merlin and Yaston were working together, these Great Kings instantly understood Merlin's value. He was specialized in restraining the Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Bodies.

"Blackfire, you're the clearest on Mind Power Masters. Do you think the Sorrow Lord's idea would work?"

Wizard Setoh looked at the Blackfire Lord. He knew that the Blackfire Lord had always been trying to perfect the Mind Power system, and was even a Mind Power Master himself. He was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the Spell Caster civilization's Mind Power Masters.

The Blackfire Lord looked at Merlin and shook his head. He did not know if Merlin really had a great gift for understanding Mind Power. For Merlin to reach the point of being able to confuse ordinary Legends was very shocking to him.

However, besides Merlin, the other Mind Power Masters in the Spell Caster civilization were far inferior. Most of them relied on their own experiences to be enlightened, and their understanding of the Mind Power system was also varied and unique.

Thus, it was basically impossible to find a Mind Power Master stronger or close to Merlin. They would not be of any help in the civilization war at the front line.

"Wizard Setoh, Merlin's Mind Power has already reached a very advanced point. Even I can't compare with him. As for other Mind Power Masters, I've never seen anyone equivalent to Merlin. Therefore, it really wouldn't be much use to call those Mind Power Masters to come to the front line. After all, even Ancestor-level Rock Creatures are comparable to Great Legends. For an ordinary Mind Power Master to be able to go against a Great Wizard would already be extremely powerful, much less a Great Legend."

The Blackfire Lord said truthfully.

"What a shame!"

The other Great Lords said helplessly, their faces full of regret.

Wizard Setoh waved his hand. "Don't be discouraged. Although only Merlin can affect those Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, that's more than enough!! I believe that Progenitor Hanra won't be willing to give up. He'll definitely want to test it again. We can take that opportunity to severely weaken the Rock Tribe's strength. At that time, we'll naturally hold the upper hand, and completely drive the Rock Tribe back to their nest!"

Turning the situation around with the power of a single Wizard. However, that Wizard was not Wizard Setoh but Merlin!

Perhaps Merlin's power was not strong. He alone could not defeat a Progenitor's Body that was comparable to an Honored Legend. However, with other Great Legends cooperating with him, Merlin's role would be exponentially multiplied.

A civilization war had changed because of one Wizard before. Some extremely powerful Lords had appeared in severe civilization battles, and those Lords were almost invincible among those below ultimate existences. Even ultimate existences had to have life-saving methods.

Therefore, against these tyrannical Lords, any civilization war was futile. It could only be kept in check if ultimate existences also joined the war.

However, Lords like that had not been born in the Spell Caster civilization nor the Rock Tribe yet. Otherwise, with a tyrannical Lord like that, the Rock Tribe would not even dare to start a war.

"We'll go back and have a discussion. This is the first time Merlin worked together with Yaston, so there are still many shortcomings. Hanra might think of some countermeasures."

Wizard Setoh did not issue an order to continue the pursuit. It was still far from the time for a decisive battle with the Rock Tribe.

Thus, the Spell Casters also started to retreat. Leaving behind only a small number of Wizards at the front line, the others all flew back toward Setoh Castle.In the Rock Tribe dimension, all the retreating Rock Creatures were hanging their heads dispiritedly. Today, sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures died at once. It was simply too heavy a blow to the Rock Tribe.

Ever since the civilization war erupted, only a dozen or so Ancestor-level Rock Creatures had died. However, now, sixteen had died at one go. This had also let the Rock Creatures deeply realize the cruelty of the civilization war.

Unlike the Spell Casters, it was very hard for Rock Creatures to become Ancestor-level. It required thousands or even tens of thousands of years to achieve. The Rock Creatures had a long life and were a non-living civilization. In order to become powerful, besides some hard-to-come-by talents, they could only rely on time to slowly accumulate.

Therefore, Ancestor-level Rock Creatures had already been few and far in between. A civilization war breaking out was also something Progenitor Hanra did not want to see. However, since it had already happened, he could only try his best to win.

Originally, everything was developing well. The Rock Tribe was like an irresistible force as it suppressed the Spell Casters. As long as the Spell Casters continued to retreat, they would be able to occupy countless Spell Caster dimensions and even open up a passage. In the future, the Rock Tribe could achieve rapid development.

However, just when their situation was great, they had suddenly lost sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. Even Progenitor Hanra could not afford such a heavy blow, and could only temporarily retreat.

"Everyone, you've all seen what happened earlier. How can a Spell Caster that hasn't even reached Legend defeat a Progenitor's Body comparable to an Ancestor-level?"

Progenitor Hanra's expression sank as a terrifying aura wrapped around his body. Even those Ancestor-level Rock Creatures were trembling with fear, appearing very timid.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Progenitor Hanra said coldly, "Niske, speak. You've personally killed a few Spell Casters before. You should know best."

Niske immediately stood up, and looked at the numerous Rock Creatures with a complicated look, and said slowly, "Sir Progenitor, that Spell Caster is called Merlin. He's part of a special group of Spell Casters known as Mind Power Masters! The most important thing about these Mind Power Masters is that they're able to create illusions. The illusions Merlin created seemed to be able to plunge some lower-rank Rock Creatures into the illusion. This led to the sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures unable to maintain the Progenitor's Body, and thus was defeated by an Honored Legend from the Spell Casters."

"In other words, our Rock Tribe is destined to lose? If they send out large amounts of Mine Power Masters and work with powerful Spell Casters, what use is our Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Body? Our strong forces are scarce, and we have far less than the Spell Casters. If we even lose the advantage of our Progenitor's Bodies, how can we continue this civilization war?"

Another Rock Creatures instantly stood up, and said angrily.

The entire hall grew solemn. The Rock Tribe was still confident that by relying on the Progenitor's Body, they would be able to suppress the Spell Casters. However, now that they heard that Mind Power Masters could restrict the Progenitor's Body, the Rock Creatures no longer had the advantage of the Progenitor's Body. Even if they added together all their Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, their numbers would never surpass the Spell Casters. There no longer seemed any need to continue this civilization war.

"Sir Progenitor, it's not that serious. According to my understanding of the Spell Caster civilization, their Mind Power Masters are very scarce, and there are even less who are able to make Ancestor-level Rock Creatures fall into an illusion like Merlin can. I've only seen Merlin able to do something like that. Therefore, it's very possible that in the Spell Caster civilization, Merlin's the only one who's extremely special. As long as we think of a way to kill Merlin at any costs, our Progenitor's Body will still maintain an advantage over the Spell Casters!"

Niske's voice dropped, and Progenitor Hanra's eyes also became sharper.

Chapter 645: Direction Changer!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Kill Merlin at all cost? Niske, last time you've acted directly against Merlin but was unable to kill him. Can you guarantee that you can kill Merlin this time?"

Progenitor Hanra's gaze was sharp, and his dissatisfaction was reflected in his tone.

Niske felt helpless that Progenitor Hanra was slightly dissatisfied with him. However, Progenitor Hanra's disappointment was somewhat founded. How could he, a bona fide middle rank Ancestor-level Rock Creature, fail to kill a Spell Caster who was not even a Legend?

Regardless of the resentment Niske felt, he replied cautiously, "Sir Progenitor, this Merlin is indeed a special case. I failed to kill him the last time. This time, I'm not completely confident either. Therefore, if Sir Progenitor decides to kill Merlin, you must send someone more powerful than me, to avoid any mishaps!"

"Someone more powerful than you? That leaves us with only the upper rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures! However, it's not as easy as meets the eye. The upper rank Rock Creatures are closely watched by the Spell Casters. After all, we only have a few upper rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. If one of them goes missing, Setoh would suspect something amiss. I guess I have to transfer an unfamiliar upper rank Ancestor-level Rock Creature from the Rock Tribe here."

Countless thoughts flashed across Progenitor Hanra's mind before finally, he decided to kill off Merlin for good. In order not to repeat his past mistake, he must ensure that the plan was flawless.

"Alright. In this period, we won't go to the front line. We'll wait quietly here until all the preparations are done, then defeat the Spell Casters with one big strike!"

Progenitor Hanra waved his hand and dismissed all the Rock Creatures. He slowly shut his eyes, and arranged for a powerful upper rank Ancestor-level Rock Creature to be transferred to the front line.In the main foyer of the castle, several Legendary Wizards were filled with a joyous expression.

Today was the first time they felt so joyful ever since the civilization war started. Even the Great Legends felt extremely pressured, and did not have complete confidence to survive the civilization war. Furthermore, no one knew when the civilization war would come to an end.

Additionally, the Spell Caster camp had been continuously defeated and was facing a disadvantageous situation. They had completely no means of defeating the Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Bodies.

However, the combination of Merlin and Wizard Yaston staggeringly managed to kill sixteen Rock Creatures who were comparable to Great Legends. Such a bold move immediately excited the Legendary Wizards.

This was because they finally saw a glimmer of hope for victory!

"Everyone, the war with the Rock Tribe has been going on for some time. The Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Bodies used to give us a massive headache. We had no choice but to mobilize more Legendary Wizards to resist them. Right now, with Wizard Merlin's help, the Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Bodies are no longer a threat to us. Victory will definitely belong to us!"

Wizard Setoh was also very pleased. Not only because Wizard Yaston managed to kill sixteen Rock Creatures but more importantly, Merlin's presence would allow the Spell Casters to gain the upper hand in this battle.

All the Legendary Wizards shifted their gaze to Merlin. No one would dare think of Merlin as an ordinary Spell Caster. They would treat him equal to a real Great Legend.

"Wizard Setoh, the Rock Tribe would not back down so easily. I'm afraid they would send some powerful opponents to ambush Merlin!"

The Blackfire Lord could not help but say in dismay.

Hearing the Blackfire Lord's words, Wizard Setoh's lips curve into a thin smile. "It's not just a possibility but a certainty! I'm sure Hanra is able to see the importance of Merlin in this war. In fact, Merlin has the potential to change the direction of the war, so his safety is of utmost importance!"

Wizard Setoh held Merlin in extremely high regard but it came as no surprise to everyone. His statement that Merlin was a direction changer of the war was also not an exaggeration. After all, everyone had clearly witnessed the magnificent combination between Merlin and Wizard Yaston earlier. Although not all the Rock Creatures would be affected by Merlin, the ordinary Ancestor-level Rock Creatures were definitely susceptible.

It was these ordinary Ancestor-level Rock Creatures that made up the most numbers. They also formed the greatest number of Progenitor's Bodies, each of which was equivalent to an Honored Legend. In other words, they were the backbone of the Rock Tribe.

Merlin did not have to face the middle rank or upper rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. Merely defeating these ordinary Ancestor-level Rock Creature would give the Rock Tribe an irrecoverable blow. They would not be able to launch another civilization war to challenge the Spell Caster civilization.

"Wizard Setoh, we shouldn't allow Merlin to go to the front line for a while, to escape the Rock Tribe's pursuit."

Someone raised the necessity of protecting Merlin. After all, he was someone who could potentially change the direction of the war. The Rock Tribe would surely try to kill Merlin at all cost, and Merlin was not yet as powerful as a Lord who could resist the attempts of even an ultimate existence.

"No, the civilization war cannot drag on. We need to end it as soon as possible. Therefore, Wizard Merlin cannot evade but must increase his attacks and kill even more Rock Creatures. The earlier we can defeat the Rock Tribe, the sooner the war will end."

Many of the Great Legends began arguing among themselves. Only the four Lords and Wizard Setoh maintained a cool composure as they watched the heated discussion among the Great Legends below them.

After some time, the numerous Great Legends could not come to an agreement, so they shifted their gaze toward the four Lords and Wizard Setoh.

On the other hand, Wizard Setoh looked at the Nightmare Lord, the number one Lord under his command!

"Nightmare Lord, tell me what you think."

The Nightmare Lord glanced at the Blackfire Lord and Merlin, then said calmly, "Wizard Setoh, Wizard Merlin is a pivotal Wizard in this war. We cannot hide him away but it's difficult to predict the Rock Tribe's ambush. So, I suggest we build a team around Merlin, flanked by the most preeminent Honored Legends. At the same time, the four Lords must secretly protect Merlin at all times. If and when it becomes necessary, Wizard Setoh, even you should act!"

"Blackfire Lord, what about you?"

Wizard Setoh shifted his gaze toward the Blackfire Lord. Since Merlin was his disciple, it was natural that he would ask for the Blackfire Lord's opinion.

The Blackfire Lord nodded in agreement. "I agree with the Nightmare Lord's suggestion. However, it's all up to Merlin to decide. Merlin, what do you think?"

The Blackfire Lord cast a fervent look at Merlin. Instantly, the eyes of hundreds of Great Legends landed on Merlin.

Merlin raised his head without any trace of nervousness. In a calm voice, he replied, "I'll obey the arrangements made by Teacher Blackfire and Wizard Setoh!"

"Haha, very well, the Nightmare Lord's suggestion is well thought out, let's do that! I'll form a team of Honored Legends to follow Merlin around and move at any time. Thus, no one would be able to grasp Merlin's whereabouts. His presence in the battlefield will be as indiscernible as a spirit to give the Rock Tribe a headache. Moreover, the four Lords and the other Spell Casters, if you see Merlin in trouble or trapped by the Rock Tribe, all of you must rescue him at all cost!"

Wizard Setoh appeared to have already decided. He was prepared to use Merlin as a wandering spirit on the battlefield, enabling him to act at any time. Each strike would cause the Rock Tribe to pay a huge price.

After a few blows, the Rock Tribe would find it difficult to continue and have no choice but to admit defeat.

"Alright, all of you are dismissed. Watch the Rock Tribe's movements carefully. Merlin, you stay back here!"

Subsequently, the numerous Great Legends left the castle, including the four Lords. Merlin was the only one who was held back by Wizard Setoh. The empty foyer turned weirdly silent.

"Wizard Setoh, do you have more instructions for me?"

Merlin looked at Wizard Setoh inquiringly. He was preparing to go back and get ready such as simulating Spell Fusion, and attempting to fuse a Three- or Four-Elemental Wizard Heart.

"Merlin, I'm sure you know that your Mind Power technique is extremely pivotal to this war. Therefore, nothing must happen to you. I know Hanra too well. He'll use all sorts of means to kill you. Mere protection on the outside is completely insufficient. You'll need to have some covert protection tactics!"

Wizard Setoh's lips curled upward as a mysterious smile lit up on his face.

"Another secret protection?"

Merlin stared at Wizard Setoh in astonishment. Firstly, Merlin did not have to stay in a certain place on the battlefield. Secondly, he could choose whether to attack any time or not at all. Thirdly, he was under the protection of an Honored Legend as well as under the furtive surveillance of the four Great Lords.

In other words, although Merlin was at the front line, he was extremely safe. After all, it was incredibly difficult for the Rock Tribe to track Merlin's whereabouts not to mention act against him?

Nevertheless, it was of course, beneficial that Wizard Setoh valued Merlin so highly.

"Merlin, as you know, I have many avatars! All these avatars can represent me but precisely for this reason, the avatars cannot publicly get involved in the civilization war. However, you're pivotal to this war, so nothing must happen to you. Therefore, I'll place an earth avatar in your spatial ring. You cannot tell anyone, including the Blackfire Lord. Only you and I know of this. If everything goes well, then all the better. However, if you truly run into danger and the Rock Tribe manages to attack you, then my earth avatar can save your life at the most critical moment!"

Once Wizard Setoh finished speaking, a strapping figure filled with a different twist of Wizard Setoh's aura emerged from the subspace behind him. It was a very dense and solid aura which belonged to the earth or an earth-type Maxim.

Merlin opened his mouth but did not make a sound. Every Wizard Setoh's avatar was placed in a different location, and each of them was able to guard an entire region. Every avatar was Wizard Setoh's blood and sweat.

However, this avatar would now have to hide in Merlin's spatial ring. This was incomprehensible to anyone. Even Progenitor Hanra would not expect that Merlin carried Wizard Setoh's avatar everywhere he went.

With this avatar, Merlin was fail-safe on the battlefield! Even if he encountered any danger, he would be able to turn it into a miracle.

"Wizard Setoh, if you do this, are you not afraid that Progenitor Hanra will also intervene directly?"

Although it was only an avatar, it still represented the Arcane Wizard Setoh. If the Arcane Wizard Setoh was seen to intervene, then there was a possibility that Progenitor Hanra would turn humiliation into a fury, and directly intervene as well.

"He doesn't dare! No matter how humiliated or how furious, he wouldn't dare. Our Spell Caster civilization can endure a setback and a loss but can the Rock Tribe endure it? If he attacks, it will not merely be a civilization war. If that happens, the other two Ultimate Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization would also intervene. In the end, both sides will suffer massive losses. However, Progenitor Hanra cannot afford that outcome!"

Wizard Setoh smirked. He was completely unconcerned that Progenitor Hanra would act crazily out of desperation. Once the ultimate existences got involved, it often meant that the civilization would be destroyed. Finally, only the ultimate existences would be left all alone. There would be no tribe, no civilization, and no meaning left.

In the vast Void Zone, anyone who could cultivate themselves to become an ultimate existence would naturally be supported by their tribe and civilization. Otherwise, it would be impossible to become an ultimate existence.

It was not to say that no one could cultivate themselves into an ultimate existence by themselves but it was extremely rare. This was because a powerful civilization possessed a unique force that could affect the strongest individuals of the civilization. Thus, the stronger the civilization, the stronger their ultimate existences would become.

That was why many of the ultimate existences in most civilizations would develop their civilizations so enthusiastically. The Spell Caster civilization, for example, was very weak when they left the Glorious Land, and entered the Void Zone. However, they eventually managed to become Arcane Wizards. Such achievements could not be disassociated from the gradual prosperity of the Spell Caster civilization.

"Alright, let's continue to wait. The Rock Tribe should be ready to make another move very soon. When that time comes, it's time for you to showcase your abilities and end the civilization war in one strike!"

Merlin kept Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar in the spatial ring, and left the main foyer. Then, he returned to the Alabaster Dimension.

"Haha, Merlin, now you've really snatched the limelight. How is it, the Mind Power Masters aren't inferior to the Spell Casters, right?"

Titus' voice sounded from the illusion bead. Although he was in the Illusory World, Merlin did not seal the illusion bead, so Titus knew everything that was going on outside.

"Mind Power Masters are indeed unique!"

Several thoughts flashed through Merlin's mind. The Mind Power system was originally born from the Spell Caster system. After all, at the very beginning, Mind Power was considerably important to Spell Casters. In fact, without Mind Power, it was impossible to become a Spell Caster.

However, over time, the usefulness of Mind Power for Spell Casters began to diminish. For those who became Great Wizards or Great Legends, Mind Power was completely rendered useless to them.

Thereafter, with the hard work and exploration of countless Mind Power Masters, the Mind Power system slowly separated from the scope of the Spell Casters. The Mind Power system developed by Titus, in particular, allowed Merlin to personally experience the uniqueness and strength of the Mind Power system.

The Spell Casters had other unique tactics. They could wield spells and unleash terrifying destruction. In terms of destructive powers alone, the Mind Power Masters lagged far behind the Spell Casters. Even the damage caused by a staggering Mind Storm could not compare to the damage wrecked by an ordinary Spell Caster.

Nevertheless, the Mind Power Masters 1 held a natural edge over other types of practitioners, especially those who did not possess strong Mind Power. Moreover, Mind Power was shapeless and invisible. If one was able to cultivate up to the Illusory World realm, then it would be even more fearsome, because it would be possible to imperceptibly control an opponent's mind.

Such a tactic was completely unavoidable, so it was truly terrifying!

Therefore, if the Mind Power system could be perfected, even though it was born out of the Spell Caster system, its unique characteristics did not make it any less formidable than the Spell Caster system. In some sense, it might even be more powerful.

As the person closest to perfecting the Mind Power system, Titus of course, hoped that Merlin would devote his full attention to the cultivation of Mind Power.

"Mind Power Masters are indeed powerful, but I'm currently reliant on the Illusory World and can't hold it for long."

Merlin no longer paid attention to Titus. Naturally, he would not give up on the Mind Power system, but right now he needed to improve his Spell Caster abilities, especially combining his Spell Models.

This had become the only hope for Merlin to improve his abilities right now!

"Whoosh".

A strand of Merlin's Mind Power immediately entered the Illusory World.

Merlin was very familiar with this Illusory World. Even he did not know how many times had he simulated the Spell Model fusion.

This time, Merlin intended to simulate fusing the Wind-type Wizard Heart with the former Two-Elemental Wizard Heart. Once the fusion was successful, Merlin would possess abilities comparable to the seventh form of the Darkness Eye.

The Three-Elemental Wizard Heart was already considered impressive, whereas if he managed to combine the Four-Elemental, Five-Elemental or Six-Elemental Wizard Heart, then Merlin's ability would instantly be able to rival the powerful Great Wizards and surpass the civilization-level prodigies.

"Fuse!"

Merlin did not hesitate, because he was in the Illusory World. Instead, he became bolder. Only by boldly combining spells, it was possible to encounter a variety of potential problems. This would avoid running into unexpected situations with no solutions when he attempted a real fusion in the future.

This was also the experience that Merlin gleaned when he attempted to fuse the Two-Elemental Wizard Heart previously. In the Illusory World, he would not suffer any harm and only lose some Mind Power. Hence, it was beneficial to simulate boldly, and even better if he could experience all the unexpected situations that might arise during the fusion at least once.

This way, when Merlin actually combined the Wizard Hearts in the future, his success rate would be increased significantly.

Therefore, Merlin stayed in the Alabaster Dimension and peacefully simulated the fusion of Wizard Hearts.On the Rock Tribe dimension, it had been more than half a year since the last frontline battle. Throughout this half a year, the Rock Tribe did not make any move. Similarly, the opposing Spell Caster camp also did not move.

Both sides seemed to be accumulating strength, so next time the war broke out, it would certainly be more brutal than before.

Inside the main foyer of the Rock Tribe dimension, Progenitor Hanra was like a real slab of rock, completely unmoving. He sat there for half a year.

"Swoosh".

Suddenly, Progenitor Hanra opened his eyes and looked towards the tightly-shut door. With a mighty wave of his hand, the door swung open. However, there was no one outside.

"Haha, Invisible Rock, come in."

Progenitor Hanra's voice resounded in the main foyer, yet there was no one outside.

"Hum".

Suddenly, in the blank space outside the door, there was a strange fluctuation. Once the door was shut, an outline gradually shimmered into view, revealing a skinny Rock Creature with a dark green glow.

This Rock Creature, from inside to outside, was very different from the ordinary Rock Creatures.

"Respected Progenitor Hanra, upon receiving your orders, I've come here at the greatest speed!"

This peculiar-looking Rock Creature bowed slightly towards Progenitor Hanra with a respectful look on his face.

"Invisible Rock, this time I've transferred you to the front line because I have no other choice. I need you to act, then only we might be able to resolve the crisis and reverse the situation."

Progenitor Hanra appeared to highly value this Rock Creature named Invisible Rock.

"Oh? Just a while ago, didn't we have the upper hand at the frontline? Why has the situation changed so quickly?" Invisible Rock asked with some suspicion.

"All because of one person!"

Invisible Rock narrowed his eyes, seemingly to comprehend something. In a low voice, he said, "Sir Progenitor summoned me, just to deal with this person? If it's those Glorious Lords, I'm afraid even I'm powerless!"

Invisible Rock immediately thought of the Glorious Lords. Only a Glorious Lord could singlehandedly overturn the outcome of a civilization war. If a Glorious Lord actually emerged among the Spell Casters, the Rock Tribe would lose the war no matter what.

It was impossible that Progenitor Hanra did not know of this fact.

"It's not a Glorious Lord, and not even a Legend. This is a very unique person among the Spell Casters, they call him a Mind Power Master!"

Progenitor Hanra shook his head gently, but a ruthless murderous glint flashed past his eyes.

Chapter 647: The Most Powerful Prodigy!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Mind Power Master?"

Obviously, this was the first time Invisible Rock was hearing of this term. He was not as well-versed about Spell Casters as Niske. As an upper-rank Ancestor-level Rock Creature who was second only to the Rock Progenitor, his status was equivalent to the powerful Lords among the Spell Casters. Thus, Invisible Rock had always been very conceited.

"Yes, a Mind Power Master! This Wizard is called Merlin. According to the ability-classification of Spell Casters, he's only a Ninth-level Spell Caster but his Mind Power could create an illusion that can entrap even the ordinary lower-rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. As such, he's able to affect the stability of the Progenitor's Body. Due to this reason, our Progenitor's Body had been constantly restrained by Merlin. Coupled with some other powerful Spell Casters, the Progenitor's Body is able to be defeated with ease.

"Before you were transferred here, it was Merlin's emergence in the battlefield that had helped the Spell Casters score a massive hit. They had defeated a Progenitor's Body and killed sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures!"

Invisible Rock gently closed his eyes. Now he knew why Progenitor Hanra had transferred him here so urgently. The death of sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures was a huge blow for the Rock Tribe. There were very few powerful Ancestor-level Rock Creatures to begin with, so they would not be able to endure such losses continuously.

Therefore, in order to win the war, they must do whatever it took to get rid of Merlin.

"Sir Progenitor, please don't worry. I'll kill Merlin personally so that he'll never be able to threaten another Progenitor's Body again!"

"Very well. However, it would not be easy to kill Merlin. Setoh will tighten his protection over Merlin. In order to kill him, you cannot act outright but you must hide! Until now, no one knows you have arrived, so Setoh wouldn't know either. You'll hide among an ordinary Ancestor-level squad, and await your chance! Remember, we may only have one shot at this. You must make sure that it's a guaranteed strike!"

Progenitor Hanra had already thought of the counterattack, which was making a respectable upper-rank Rock Creature hide his identity among an average Rock Tribe squad. Although Invisible Rock felt that it was an exaggeration, such method was absolutely foolproof.

This clearly showed Progenitor Hanra's emphasis on this matter. Invisible Rock could only nod, and disappeared again amidst those in the main foyer…In the Alabaster Dimension, Merlin himself had lost track of the time that he had spent in the Illusory World undergoing various simulations. Utilizing the Illusory World, he had not only simulated Wind-type spells but also Ice-type spells.

This was also the Four-Elemental Spell Fusion that Merlin had previously achieved. As these Four-Elemental spells had been fused before, Merlin could distinctively sense that it was slightly easier for them to be fused again.

In fact, it was undeniably true that the Four-Elemental Spell Fusion had been extremely useful for Merlin to combine the Four-Elemental Wizard Hearts.

Furthermore, he had also attempted combining Spell Models in the Illusory World, which had worked out well.

"It has been more than half a year. I'm not sure how many times I've simulated this in the Illusory World. I think it has probably been approximately ten thousand times?"

Merlin grinned. In the Illusory World, he had been running simulations madly, and encountered all kinds of incidents. However, as everything in the Illusory World was fake, Merlin only lost a bit of Mind Power.

Merlin could replenish this bit of Mind Power with just a short meditation.

Therefore, in the real world, Merlin had started to fuse the Wind-type Wizard Heart. If everything proceeded smoothly, he would continue with fusing the Ice-type Wizard Heart.

Merlin calmed down and immersed his consciousness into his Awareness. There was a total of five Wizard Hearts. However, situated right in the middle was a noticeably larger Wizard Heart. This was the Two-Elemental Wizard Heart formed by fusing the Fire-type and the Thunder-type Wizard Hearts.

The other four smaller-sized Wizard Hearts surrounded the Two-Elemental Wizard Hearts like stars around the moon. It reminded Merlin of the celestial bodies in the universe from his previous life. Most of the celestial bodies revolved around a large star.

Similarly, the Wizard Hearts in Merlin's Awareness revolved around the more powerful Wizard Heart. This would help ensure balance so that the few Wizard Hearts would not collide with each other and cause instability in the Awareness.

However, to fuse the Wind-type Wizard Heart with the Two-Elemental Heart, Merlin would have to mobilize his enormous Mind Power to stabilize the remaining Wizard Hearts.

Thinking along these lines, Merlin no longer hesitated. Immediately, his enormous power took control over all the Wizard Hearts. In fact, Merlin had stabilized the entire Awareness.

Merlin's Mind Power soon found the Wind-type Wizard Heart, and began to pull it slowly toward the Two-Elemental Wizard Heart.

This time, Merlin was extraordinarily cautious, and luck was on his side, so nothing seemed to happen.

"Boom."

Finally, the Wizard Hearts came into contact, and the Awareness descended into an inevitable quake. Fortunately, this quake was not too strong, so his Awareness was able to withstand it even without Merlin's Mind Power support.

"It withstood. Continue to fuse!"

Merlin's emotion was very calm, and his Mind Power did not fluctuate at all. The Two-Elemental Wizard Heart was obviously more powerful than the Wind-type Wizard Heart. Rather than a fusion, it would be better construed as an engulfment.

Regardless of whether it was a fusion or an engulfment, as long as they combined into one, Merlin would have achieved his goal. Once he had successfully combined a Three-Elemental Wizard Heart, it would be a significant achievement.

After all, for Three-Elemental Spell Casters, they would become Great Wizards upon successfully combining a Three-Elemental Wizard Heart. Nevertheless, in Merlin's case, a Three-Elemental Heart was simply the beginning.

"Chi chi chi."

The fusion of Wizard Hearts still had some repulsion but it was much smoother compared to Merlin's previous experience with the Fire-type and the Thunder-type Wizard Hearts. There was only a slight repulsion, and the overall situation remained calm.

The Wizard Heart grew bigger, and its aura also became more concentrated. Merlin could even sense that the gradually forming new Wizard Heart was much stronger than before.

The Two-Elemental Wizard Heart was basically engulfing the Wind-type Wizard Heart at breakneck speed. None of the complications from Merlin's simulation in the Illusory World arose at all.

Perhaps, Merlin had a stroke of luck, and was extremely fortunate or perhaps, he had simulated fusing the Wizard Hearts so many times in the Illusory World that his understanding of the Wizard Heart had far surpassed than when he first attempted the Fire-type and Thunder-type fusion.

Therefore, this time, fusing the Wind-type Wizard Heart did not result in any complications. On the contrary, the process was very smooth. Nevertheless, Merlin still did not lower his guard, and maintained tight control over the three remaining Wizard Hearts 1 .

"Boom."

Finally, the moment when the Wind-type Wizard Heart had completely fused with the Two-Elemental Wizard Heart, the entire Awareness quaked. The three remaining Wizard Hearts also seemed to be attracted and moved slowly toward the largest Wizard Heart in the center. This was the new Three-Elemental Wizard Heart.

The Three-Elemental Wizard Heart was apparently much larger than the Two-Elemental Wizard Heart. Moreover, the terrifying aura emitted was unequivocally comparable to a Legend.

Even the seventh form of Darkness Eye was only on par with this Three-Elemental Wizard. Now, besides the seventh form of Darkness Eye, Merlin had a new tactic that could rival a Great Legend!

However, this was still not enough. In the Illusory World, Merlin had simulated both Wind-type and Ice-type spells. After seeing the Wind-type Wizard Heart fuse so smoothly, Merlin of course, desired to fuse the Ice-type Wizard Heart in one go.

Furthermore, after consolidating the Three-Elemental Heart, Merlin discovered that the three remaining Wizard Hearts seemed to be drawing nearer to the Three-Elemental Wizard Heart. Hence, this would bode well for him to consolidate a more advanced Wizard Heart.

Thus, Merlin stopped hesitating, and activated the Ice-type Wizard Heart to gradually approach the Three-Elemental Wizard Heart. Due to the supreme power of the Three-Elemental Wizard Heart, even before the two Wizard Hearts could come closer, the huge Three-Elemental Wizard Heart began to expand and turned into something like a large mouth, and swallowed the Ice-type Wizard Heart in a single gulp.

The Three Elemental Wizard Heart and the Ice-type Wizard Heart were simply too different, so they could not be described as a fusion. Instead, this was a clear engulfment.

Nonetheless, this engulfment gave rise to some complications. The Ice-type Wizard Heart began to quiver mightily, and faint cracks began to appear on it.

Merlin had seen such situation when he simulated Spell Fusion in the Illusory World. It was very dangerous because once he could not control the Wizard Heart, it would collapse entirely. The effect could cause all the Wizard Hearts to collapse, and might even grievously injure his Awareness.

Merlin immediately calmed down, and recalled the various remedies he tested in the Illusory World. The only solution was to increase the speed of fusion. He must ensure that the Wizard Heart was properly fused before it could collapse.

With that in mind, Merlin could no longer guard the two remaining Wizard Hearts. His enormous power swiftly activated the Three-Elemental Wizard Heart, and frantically accelerated the fusion of the Wizard Hearts.

Originally, the Three-Elemental Wizard Heart was already very powerful and was fusing at a fast rate. Assisted by Merlin's Mind Power, the rate naturally increased even further.

At a speed almost visible to the naked eye, the Ice-type Wizard Heart was promptly engulfed by the Three-Elemental Wizard Heart. Although the surface of the Ice-type Wizard Heart had begun to collapse, it did not negatively affect the Three-Elemental Wizard Heart engulfing it.

"Phew…"

When the last sliver of Ice-type Wizard Heart was fused, Merlin released a long breath of relief. This time, it had been too dangerous. If the Ice-type Wizard Heart had collapsed, then his quest to combine a Wizard Heart would have failed.

"Fusing a Wizard Heart is truly dangerous!"

Merlin had now experienced personally the dangers of combining a Wizard Heart. For a Ninth-level Spell Caster to become a Great Wizard, this was the most dangerous process. It was because fusing every type of spell would bring about various unforeseeable risks. Even if Merlin had successfully combined Five-Elemental spells, there was still a chance that the final element could spell his downfall and render all his previous efforts null. There was also a chance that he would plunge into an unrecoverable chasm.

If his Wizard Heart collapsed, Merlin would not be able to become even the most common Spell Caster, and there was also a risk to his life. It was not surprising that even the Blackfire Lord, upon hearing that Merlin had fused a Wizard Heart, would betray such a despairing expression.

However, once the danger had passed, Merlin obtained a powerful ability. The fusion of the Four-Elemental Wizard Heart had promoted Merlin beyond the ordinary Legends.

To some extent, Merlin was confident that his Four-Elemental Wizard Heart would be able to rival those Great Legends with two Maxims!

In the vast and endless Void Zone, even the most talented civilization-level prodigy would be able to compete with a two-Maxim Great Legend. For anyone to surpass a two-Maxim Great Legend was completely unheard of.

Merlin, on the other hand, still had two more Wizard Hearts left unfused. Once the fusion was successful and he became a Great Wizard, Merlin would create an entirely new legend. Among the countless civilizations and dimensions in the Void Zone, Merlin would be the most powerful civilization-level prodigy!

Chapter 648: The War Resumes!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Awareness, Merlin's Four-Elemental Wizard Heart was like a giant overlord, suspended in the middle. Only two Wizard Hearts were left.

These two Wizard Hearts was the most difficult to fuse as well as the most unexposed, compared to the other four which had previously been components of the Four-Elemental Spell Fusion. For Merlin to fuse these two types of Wizard Hearts, he would have to run simulations for a very long time.

"Phew…"

Merlin exhaled deeply. A thought flashed through his mind. "With what I've achieved so far, I wonder, compared to the Seven-Elemental Wizard Nelar, who would be stronger?"

Merlin had a very deep impression of Nelar. Throughout the history of Spell Casters, only one Seven-Elemental Spell Caster had existed. Moreover, Nelar had thirty perfect-grade spells, only six less than Merlin.

Coupled with the fact that Nelar was a Seven-Elemental Wizard, Merlin really wondered which prodigy would be more powerful. He had inquired around about Nelar but it seemed like no one had ever heard of him. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air. The only proof of Nelar's brilliance was his name on the spells ranking in Arcane City.

"Perhaps, Nelar didn't even become a Great Wizard. Perhaps, he failed to fuse his Spell Models and died as a result."

Merlin was very eager to meet this Seven-Elemental Spell Caster but none of the numerous Great Legends know about Nelar's whereabouts. In fact, some of them had not even heard of Nelar's name. So, there was only one possibility, which was that Nelar died prior to becoming a Great Wizard.

Since Merlin was currently fusing Spell Models, he was deeply aware of the challenge posed by fusing Spell Models. Just a single wrong step would render all previous efforts null, and it was impossible to recover!

Merlin did not continue to simulate the fusion but spent a lot of time to familiarize himself with the Four-Elemental Wizard Heart. This was because his progress had been too fast, so he would need time to familiarize himself with the Wizard Heart in order to wield its powers.

Time ticked by, and after an unknown period of time, Merlin sensed his ring vibrating gently. Surprisingly, it was Legend Zado's Maxim avatar.

"Merlin, the Rock Tribe is moving again. Hurry back to Setoh Castle."

Merlin's heart skipped a beat. The Rock Tribe was finally on the move again. This time, it would likely be the turning point of the civilization war. The two sides might engage in a final battle.

"Merlin, be careful. I'm still waiting for you to perfect the Mind Power system, so you cannot die!"

As soon as Merlin stood up, Titus' voice warned him softly from the Illusory World.

Merlin smiled. If he died, Titus probably would not have any hope of resurrection. So, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't die so easily!"

After fusing the Four-Elemental Wizard Heart, Merlin was emboldened. Especially, hidden in his ring was Arcane Wizard Setoh's earth avatar. This was only known to Merlin and Wizard Setoh, and was Merlin's biggest life preserver.

"Swish."

Merlin quickly flew out of the Alabaster Dimension, and headed toward Setoh Castle in the Void Zone. Currently, Setoh Castle was packed to the brim with Great Legends.

During this time, numerous Great Legends had arrived continuously from Setoh Arcane City to replace the Legendary Wizards who were lost in the war. The current number of Great Legends exceeded that of before the civilization war started, which opened Merlin's eyes to the true strength of the Spell Caster civilization's foundation. If just Setoh Arcane City alone possessed such a strong foundation, then he could not imagine how staggering the entire Spell Caster civilization foundation would be combined.

It was first and foremost important to note that Setoh Arcane City was the weakest force among the three Arcane Cities.

In the main foyer of the castle, Arcane Wizard Setoh sat perched at the very top, flanked by the four Great Lords by his sides. Below them were countless Honored Legends and Legendary Wizards.

The entire foyer was nonetheless silent as they affixed their gazes upon Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"Everyone, I believe you've received the news. The Rock Tribe is finally moving and heading toward us. This is a civilization war. None can live while the other survives. Fortunately for us, we're occupying the upper hand. Based on the Spell Casters' three thousand years' worth of foundation, has there been a civilization war that we didn't win? A while ago, the Progenitor's Body stumped all our efforts but we have Wizard Merlin. He can defeat the Progenitor's Body and is the key for us to win this war!"

Many Legendary Wizards looked around curiously but they soon spotted Merlin who was hiding in a corner.

"Merlin, come up."

Wizard Setoh smiled at Merlin.

Merlin hesitated but eventually went to the front, and faced Wizard Setoh.

Wizard Setoh continued. "Wizard Merlin is the key to this war. He's a powerful Mind Power Master. I'll assign Wizard Lach to follow Merlin, and specifically work with him to confront the Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Body! If Wizard Merlin is in danger, every Spell Caster nearby must rescue him at all cost. All of you are Great Legends, so I'm sure I don't need to explain to you on Wizard Merlin's importance!

Once he had finished speaking, one of the Great Legends stepped forward, and nodded slightly at Merlin. He was Wizard Lach, a famous Great Legend whose existence was second only to the Lords.

"Merlin, don't worry. The four Great Lords will be paying attention to you. However, your Mind Power cannot sustain for a long time whereas the civilization war will go on for a long time. So, you don't have to exert too much effort. Find an opening and strike to kill. As long as you can defeat a Progenitor's Body with every strike, you'll effectively weaken the Rock Tribe's strength!"

The Blackfire Lord whispered to Merlin.

Merlin nodded. Indeed, he could not sustain the Illusory World for a long time. Nevertheless, moving around stealthily and launching "sneak attacks" was a good strategy. Even if the Rock Tribe had some means, they would not be able to use it. Hence, it would indirectly ensure Merlin's safety.

"Alright, let's go to the front line!"

Following a wave of Arcane Wizard Setoh's hand, rumbles of Spell Casters left the castle and flew toward the front line.

Similar to the Spell Casters, the Rock Tribe was also advancing boldly toward the front line, displaying a formidable sight. These Rock Creatures had already formed the Progenitor's Body ahead of time, and every single Progenitor's Body was supremely powerful.

In the Rock Tribe camp, Progenitor Hanra was observing the Spell Caster camp.

"I don't see Merlin? Hehe, I'm sure Setoh had already hidden him away. Never mind, I've already expected that Setoh would have some tricks up his sleeve. Invisible Rock, don't let it concern you. Don't emit any aura. You must hide among the ordinary Rock Creatures and form the Progenitor's Body with them. Once you see an opening, you must kill Merlin!"

A cold glint flashed across Invisible Rock's eyes. He nodded, and flew off together with some other Rock Creatures toward the Runic Magic Circle.

The civilization war was resuming!

"Four Great Lords, go now. Since they've come all the way here, there's no need for them to leave!"

Wizard Setoh waved his hand. Instantly, under the leadership of the four Great Lords, numerous Great Legends stepped into the Runic Magic Circle.

Immediately, a massive confrontation between two great civilizations ensued in the Runic Magic Circle.

All the Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Body went berserk, and suppressed the Spell Caster camp. Despite being in the Runic Magic Circle, multiple Progenitor's Bodies were able to release unfathomable strength.

In just a few short hours, the Spell Caster camp had lost three Great Legends. This was a rate that had never been witnessed before.

"Hmph, it seems like the Rock Tribe is truly giving their all. Merlin, be prepared to strike."

Wizard Setoh watched the battle from the front line. The strength displayed by the Rock Tribe was indeed powerful, relegating the Spell Caster camp into a passive stance. Wizard Setoh did not want to lose too many Great Legends, so Merlin prepared to strike.

Merlin had remained hidden in a distance. Beside him, there was only Wizard Lach.

"Wizard Lach, get ready, we'll kill with one strike!"

Merlin's gaze shifted toward a gigantic Progenitor's Body in the battlefield. Even faced against two Honored Legends, it was deftly able to put up a strong resistance.

Merlin also sensed that this Progenitor's Body was comprised of only some very ordinary Rock Creatures. So, with Wizard Lach beside him, as long as the Illusory World was triggered, they would certainly be able to defeat this Progenitor's Body.

"Attack!"

Merlin growled. Instantly, both their speeds kicked up a notch. Lach, in particular, wrapped Merlin in a Maxim, and sped into the battlefield at top speed.

"Illusory World!"

Merlin did not hesitate and fiercely mobilized the Illusory World. The huge Illusory World directly enveloped this gigantic Progenitor's Body.

The Progenitor's Body trembled a little but did not cease. Nevertheless, many could distinctly feel that this Progenitor's Body was not as flexible as before. Its movement appeared to be very stiff.

This was because some of the Rock Creatures in the Progenitor's Body had fallen into an illusion.

"Wizard Lach, your turn!"

Merlin's tone was cold and merciless. He was trying hard to sustain the Illusory World. Every single second to sustain it required large amounts of Mind Power.

Hence, he would not be able to hold on for a long time. Wizard Lach must act quickly.

"Kill!"

Wizard Lach did not hesitate. He released his five Maxims consecutively, including one ultimate Maxim. It was not surprising that Wizard Lach was an existence just below the Great Lords.

"Boom."

The powerful Maxims were like a huge dragon. Roaring loudly, it slammed onto the Progenitor's Body. The rock-solid Progenitor's Body that appeared infallible began to tremble violently upon this collision.

"Crack."

Finally, a faint crack appeared on the Progenitor's Body. It continued to grow, one ring after another, like a spider web.

"Swoosh."

Countless gazes gathered on Merlin and Lach. Merlin even felt a strong threat coming out of nowhere.

"Let's go!"

Merlin did not dither. Together with Lach, he immediately flew out of the battlefield and did not stop.

"Rumble."

Finally, that Progenitor's Body collapsed. With that, a few Rock Creatures died on the spot. Whereas the remaining Rock Creatures, due to the loss of the Progenitor's Body, were also killed by the Spell Casters cavalry.

"Wizard Merlin, what happened to you earlier? No one can pose a threat to you!"

Wizard Lach declared confidently but Merlin remained frowning.
