A Wizard’s Secret

“Beep, analysis completed. In total, thirteen thousand eight hundred and ninety-one Guardian Monument’s Spell Models have been reconstructed.”

The Matrix had completed its analysis with a reconstruction of more than ten thousand Spell Models. Back then, there were only about eleven thousand Furious Flame’s Spell Models so, both Spell Models were about the same.

Among the reconstructed Spell Models, Merlin first chose those with a higher compatibility. Next, from the highly compatible Spell Models, he chose those with excellent stability and power.

Merlin was already greatly familiar with the process of choosing a Spell Model. He needed to consider compatibility, stability, and power, so Merlin quickly got the Spell Model he was satisfied with. However, Guardian Monument was less compatible with Zero-level spell Earth Guard than Furious Flame with Fireball.

At last, the Spell Model he had chosen had 76 percent compatibility with Earth Guard. Its stability was also amongst the top thirty in all Spell Models, which was rather good.

The next step after choosing the Spell Model was the most crucial. He had to simulate the complicated Spell Model in his Awareness with Mind Power. Previously, Merlin failed because his Mind Power was insufficient.

This time, not only did Merlin’s Mind Power had reached that of a Second-level Spell Caster but he had also meditated for an extra month at Ditas town. His Mind Power had significantly increased since the time he constructed Furious Flame.

“Phew…”

Merlin took a deep breath and calmed his nerves. Then, he initiated all his Mind Power and began to simulate Guardian Monument’s Spell Model.

…

“Heusius, have the Abyss Fort found the people from Ozmu?”

The black-robed Wizard Leo who wore a round, black hat asked in a calm tone.

At this moment, Wizard Leo, Wizard Heusius, and Spell Casters of Sixth-level and above from the Dark Magic Region had gathered. They were hiding in the forest as they stared deeply at an ancient castle in front of them.

Wizard Heusius squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the castle and replied softly, “I’ve received news from the Abyss Fort. The people of Ozmu have divided into a few groups. One of the groups is in this castle. But we’ll only know when the people of the Abyss Fort are here.”

“Whoosh…”

As soon as he finished his words, a gust of wind blew in the forest. Then, the originally dark forest became pitch black in an instant.

“Hehe, Heusius. It’s been a long time!”

From the dark forest, a hoarse voice sounded. Suddenly, a dozen Spell Casters who wore black wizard robes appeared.

Many Sixth-level Spell Casters of the Dark Magic Region were gripped with shock. They did not sense any movement at all as these Spell Casters of the Abyss Fort appeared just like that.

However, Wizard Heusius appeared rather collected. He took a glance at the Spell Caster walking at the front and smiled. “Yes, Wizard Gryzllo. The last time we met was one hundred years ago.”

The Spell Caster of the Abyss Fort gathered with those of the Dark Magic Region under the leadership of Seventh-level wizard, Gryzllo.

“Are there any people of Ozmu in the castle?”

Wizard Leo’s tone was heavy as he asked coldly.

Wizard Gryzllo shot a glance at Wizard Leo, then showed a complicated expression. He asked softly, “I’m sure this is Wizard Leo? You’ve developed Darkness Eye. Tsk tsk. Even the Spell Casters of the Abyss Fort who specialize in Darkness-type spells didn’t develop Darkness Eye. If it wasn’t to deal with Ozmu today, I really want to have a go with the legendary Darkness Eye!”

Wizard Gryzllo was a Spell Caster from the Abyss Fort, a spell casters’ organization which specialized in Darkness-type spells. However, even in the Abyss Fort, no one had ever developed the legendary Darkness Eye. Hence, Gryzllo was naturally very interested in Wizard Leo’s Darkness Eye.

That vertical eye on Wizard Leo’s forehead flashed a faint red light. As he looked at Wizard Gryzllo, he replied coldly, “Wait until I kill the Ozmu. I’ll naturally let Wizard Gryzllo witness it!”

From Wizard Leo’s tone, he seemed to be unafraid of Wizard Gryzllo who was a Seventh-level Spell Caster.

“Hehe, Gryzllo. Stop the rubbish. This time, Ozmu came at us with overweening arrogance. I’m sure you won’t want them to leave easily, right?”

Wizard Heusius waved his hand suddenly and said in a cold tone.

“Hmph, Ozmu!”

Upon mentioning Ozmu, a hint of killing intent swept across Wizard Gryzllo.

“We’ve received accurate information that Ozmu has divided into a few groups. Some of their Spell Casters are in the castle in front of us. The Abyss Fort and the Dark Magic Region first gather strength and deal with these people. As for the other groups, they’ll naturally be stopped by Fire City and the Ashes Region.”

Wizard Gryzllo said in a heavy tone.

“Then, let’s kill!”

Wizard Leo’s face revealed a hint of craziness where his entire being gave off a chilling air. Meanwhile, Wizard Heusius who was behind him watched as Wizard Leo strode toward the castle. He shook his head slightly and muttered, “I hope this can resolve the hatred in your heart this time…”

The ancient castle under the setting sun appeared more deserted. There were no guards outside this large castle. Grass crawled over the ground – this was a castle that had already been deserted.

In the castle, there was not a single string of light present. Only a gust of whistling wind sent chills down people’s spine.

“Bang!”

A loud thud followed where the rusted iron gate was blasted open by Fireball. Wizard Leo walked at the front and the vertical eye on his forehead was opened wide with a hint of red light glimmered in it, looking extremely eerie in the dark night.

Wizard Leo did not mind at all. He headed straight into the castle. Looking at the grass on the ground, Wizard Leo raised his head suddenly and his vertical eye stared deadly at the castle.

“Whoosh…”

An intense fluctuation of Wind Element directly appeared on Wizard Leo. Then, his body flew toward the upper floor of the castle.

Normally, Fourth-level Wind-type spell had the ability to fly. As a Four-Elemental Spell Caster, Wizard Leo possessed Fire-type, Wind-type, Earth-type, and Darkness-type spells.

His Darkness-type spell was especially powerful. It was not surprising that he was able to develop Darkness Eye which even Spell Casters of the Abyss Fort could not.

Naturally, Wizard Leo’s movement had attracted the attention of many Spell Casters of the Abyss Fort and the Dark Magic Region. Then, the Spell Casters all flew directly toward the second floor of the castle.

Meanwhile, those who did not have Wind-type spell relied on their casting tools and flew to the second floor as well. These Sixth-level Spell Casters followed behind Wizard Leo, revealing their serious expressions. They were all cautious against any movement around them.

After all, they were about to deal with the legendary Spell Casters from Ozmu. In Ozmu, almost every Spell Caster was a prodigy, where they could not be understood from ordinary logic.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a black light in the dark shot toward Wizard Leo soundlessly.

The vertical eye on Wizard Leo’s forehead flashed a red light as he waved his hands. Endless Earth Element immediately gathered beside him. That spell attack in the dark had no effect against Wizard Leo at all.

“Darkness Vortex!”

A crisp voice came from within the castle. In the endless night, a gigantic vortex seemed to appear and was about to directly engulf Wizard Leo.

Darkness Vortex was a Third-level spell. Its power was incredible and was known to be able to engulf anything!

“Darkness Eye, exterminate!”

Wizard Leo unleashed his spell emotionlessly. A blood-red light shot from his Darkness Eye. In an instant, that gigantic vortex was pierced, then rapidly dissipated. The night resumed its calmness again.

“Swish!”

Although it was still pitch black on the second floor, this was nothing for Wizard Leo who dealt with Darkness-type spell all year round.

His Mind Power clearly sensed that there were two Spell Casters in the room. One was a Third-level Spell Caster, another was a Fourth-level. Moreover, the Third-level Spell Caster gave a comfortable feeling to Wizard Leo.

“Darkness Heart. You’re the prodigy who has Darkness Heart in the Abyss Fort? Ramas?”

Wizard Leo asked in a calm tone. He knew that the Abyss Fort sustained a great loss this time as well. A genius Spell Caster who had Darkness Heart was seduced into joining Ozmu.

Darkness Heart and Darkness Eye were both the strangest and most powerful products of alchemy amongst Darkness-type spells in the legends. They were not spells but a terrifying force that was stronger than many casting tools produced from spells and alchemy methods.

Such force was known as Pandora Demon Ability! It meant that it possessed the ability of a demon and did not belong to a man.

The genius who possessed Darkness Heart betrayed the Abyss Fort. Such a loss was the same as the Dark Magic Region losing their Five-Elemental genius Spell Caster, Kleis.

That Third-level Spell Caster was still collected. Facing the Sixth-level Spell Caster, Wizard Leo, he still wore a prideful expression. With a cold smile, he said, “That’s right. I’m Ramas! Only with Ozmu, I can become the strongest Spell Caster. A normal Spell Caster like you can never understand our ambition.”

“Haha, that’s good. We’re all true prodigies! Ramas, when you’re back in Ozmu, you’ll be as strong as me. How does a mere Sixth-level Spell Caster compare with us?”

The Fourth-level Spell Caster beside him was, in fact, completely unafraid of Wizard Leo who was a Sixth-level Spell Caster.

“Swish!”

Wizard Leo’s expansive Mind Power immediately locked on that Fourth-level Spell Caster as he asked in a low voice, “You’re from Ozmu?”

“That’s right. I’m from Ozmu and have been there for three years! Only those who have stayed in Ozmu know how strong it is. Normal Spell Casters like you can never understand what a true genius is. Ramas, look at him – a Sixth-level Spell Caster is actually very weak!”

Strong fluctuation of Element appeared on this Fourth-level Spell Caster. Even if he had not cast any spell, he had given off an intense oppressing feeling to others.

Rumors said that Spell Casters of Ozmu had the extraordinary strong ability to battle, disregarding the level. Even a Fourth-level Spell Caster could deal with any ordinary Spell Caster!

This Fourth-level Spell Caster was obviously the genius amongst the geniuses. He did not take Wizard Leo seriously at all.

“Is that so? Genius Spell Caster of Ozmu… Then, die!”

Wizard Leo’s voice was calm but extremely cold as he gave off a chilling aura.

“Darkness Eye, elude!”

The Darkness Eye on Wizard Leo’s forehead immediately shot a red light and instantly engulfed Ozmu’s Fourth-level Spell Caster and prodigy Ramas of the Abyss Fort.

“Darkness Eye, exterminate!”

Wizard Leo only spoke twice. Two strings of light immediately shot into their body – that Fourth-level Spell Caster even had his mouth wide open where he wore an unbelievable expression.

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

From outside the castle, many Spell Casters of the Dark Magic Region and the Abyss Fort flew into the room. However, when they entered the castle, they only saw two bodies on the ground.
