A Wizard’s Secret

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was a huge commotion from the Giant Mountain. Countless giants began to walk out of the Giant Mountain. Led by an over nine hundred meter giant, they left the Giant Mountain.

Such a large flurry was of course seen by Eldo and the others as well. It was only when almost all the giants had left that they finally recovered from their stupor.

“The giants had left… What actually happened? It could swallow even the giants, how terrifying! It’s exactly like when we’ve encountered the Slothful Beast!”

Eldo and the other two were completely shell-shocked. The Giant Tribe was extremely hardy yet appeared to be completely defenseless towards the black hole-like mouth. Therefore, the three of them knew that there must have been a game-changer in the Giant Mountain!

“Elder Eldo, do you think these changes are linked to Wizards Merlin and Luce?

One of the Ninth-level Mind Power Masters asked carefully. However, all three of them had already guessed the answer in their hearts because only Merlin and Luce had entered the Giant Mountain.

Nonetheless, it was so staggering that they simply could not believe it!

“Regardless of whether it was caused by Wizards Merlin and Luce or not, the fact is the Giant Mountain is now deserted. We can finally enter the Vortex Hole, and see what happened to Wizards Merlin and Luce.”

Eldo paused, and took another look at the Giant Mountain. After observing it carefully for a moment, and discovering that there were truly no giants left, he and the other two swiftly flew toward the Vortex Hole.

Upon flying close to the Vortex Hole, they spotted Merlin and Luce. Just as they were about to call out to them, an unbelievable scene unfolded before them.

“Boom!”

The originally clear sky turned dark in an instant. A gentle breeze blew at Merlin’s black Wizard robes, causing them to flap around. Merlin raised his hand up, and there was a demonic-looking blood-red eye which was blinking continuously.

At the same time, pangs of howls were released amid the darkness. An immeasurably huge Demon Spirit, almost comparable to those giants, coalesced from within the darkness.

This was the sixth form of Darkness Eye, the Darkness Demon Spirit!

Sensing the deadly aura emanated by the Darkness Demon Spirit, which was no less than an intimidating Expert giant, Eldo and the two other Ninth-level Mind Power Masters finally realized the true capabilities of Merlin and Luce! Moreover, they realized that Merlin was the more formidable of the two, so it was not surprising that Wizard Luce appeared to value Merlin’s opinions highly.

“Darkness Eye! This is the Great Legend of Darkness, Wizard Oflas’ special Pandora Demon Ability, the legendary Darkness Eye!”

Eldo almost exclaimed aloud. He also originated from the Spell Caster civilization, and landed in the Slothful Beast world by accident, so he knew of the legendary Darkness Eye. With a single glance, he knew that this was the sixth form of Darkness Eye, which was comparable to a peak Great Wizard.

Upon this revelation, Eldo was secretly glad that he did not listen to the suggestions made by some elders of Spellcast City to attack Merlin and Luce. Otherwise, Spellcast City might have been completely conquered by now.

Of course, from Eldo’s viewpoint, he would not know about the curse of Darkness Eye. All he knew was that the sixth form of Darkness Eye was extremely fearsome. Just Merlin’s Darkness Eye was enough to reduce Spellcast City to ashes.

This was the reason why Merlin and Luce had entered Spellcast City with such a carefree attitude. They had nothing to fear!

“Whoosh!”

The Darkness Demon Spirit snarled into the air, and charged resolutely at the huge Vortex Hole.

“Crack.”

It came as no surprise. The moment the Darkness Demon Spirit entered the Vortex Hole, it was instantly strangled, and torn into pieces. The clear sky was restored once again.

“Sure enough, the Darkness Demon Spirit is unable to pass through the Vortex Hole. Otherwise, those over nine hundred meter giants would have passed through it already.”

Merlin mumbled under his breath. He was merely testing the Vortex Hole to see its strangulation powers. Now, it seemed like his Darkness Demon Spirit could not measure up.

It was important to note that those over nine hundred meter giants were much stronger compared to the Darkness Demon Spirit. Despite controlling the Vortex Hole for such a long time, they were unable to leave the Vortex Hole, which proved how difficult it was to leave via the Vortex Hole.

“Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce!”

After witnessing the Darkness Demon Spirit being strangled to death, Eldo and the others could not help but fly to the two Wizards.

Actually, Merlin had already discovered Eldo and the others. He nodded at them casually. “Elders, the Giant Tribe has relinquished the Giant Mountain. You can inform all the Spell Casters via Spellcast City that they can come to Giant Mountain. Here, the Spell Casters will not be attacked.”

Eldo and the rest of them were overjoyed in their hearts, and even felt a little excited.

“Wizard Merlin, who got rid of the Giant Tribe?”

Wizard Luce stepped forward. In a low voice, he said, “It’s Wizard Merlin’s friend, Sir Didimoss!”

“Sir Didimoss?”

Eldo had never seen Didimoss before because whenever Didimoss was perched on Merlin’s shoulder, he was hidden from view.

“Didimoss, wake up!”

Merlin began to wake up Didimoss not because he wanted to show Eldo and the others, but because he was unsatisfied unless he could learn how strong the strangulation power of the Vortex Hole was. Would the power of a Legend be powerful enough to affect the Vortex Hole?

This would require Didimoss’ help to verify.

“Meow.”

Didimoss responded lazily. “Merlin, this is the last time I’ll help you. Don’t bother me anymore, I need to sleep for a while.”

Thus, the black cat Didimoss jumped up, opened his huge mouth, and began to madly swallow the Vortex Hole.

“Hoo hoo hoo…”

Didimoss’ swallowing ability was incomparably mighty that even space was shattered and vanished. Even the entire Giant Mountain seemed to be shaking. If Didimoss had so willed, it would be child’s play to swallow the entire Giant Mountain.

However, it was not enough to affect the Vortex Hole. There was not even a trace of influence, and the Vortex Hole remained unchanged.

“There’s no way, this Vortex Hole is undefeatable. The power of an ordinary Legend is unable to move it… Merlin, you have to find a way yourself, I’m going to sleep!”

The black cat Didimoss indeed seemed tired. Without caring about what Merlin had to say, he quickly sprawled on his shoulder and fell asleep.

Merlin could only shake his head helplessly. As for the black cat Didimoss, as long as he finished swallowing, he would need to sleep to digest it into energy. Hence, he was quite “disgruntled” at Merlin’s call.

“Wizard Merlin, this… This is Sir Didimoss?”

Wizard Eldo only finally recovered after a long time, with a stunned look still etched on his face, seemingly still reveling in shock. The aura emitted by the black cat Didimoss earlier had almost caused Eldo and the others to suffocate. It was an incredibly mighty power that far exceeded a Great Wizard, equal to a Great Legend.

This was a being comparable to a Great Legend!

“Haha, the Spell Caster force can finally be saved!”

Eldo immediately remembered Titus, who was also comparable to a Great Legend. Finally, Titus conquered the various tribes across the Slothful Beast world and became the unchallengeable king.

That was also the most glorious era for Spell Casters in the Slothful Beast world. Right now, on the other hand, the Spell Casters were at the lowest point in history. Due to the continuous attack by other tribes, raising Mind Power Masters who could rival Great Wizards had almost become a far-fetched fantasy.

This time, however, with the presence of the black cat Didimoss as well as Merlin’s sixth form of Darkness Eye, Eldo had understood that the Spell Casters would once again achieve a glorious era in the Slothful Beast world!

“Be rest assured, Wizard Merlin, I’ll immediately inform Spellcast City as well as the entire Spell Caster civilization for them to move to the Giant Mountain!”

Eldo was ecstatic. He was ready to leave without delay.

Merlin considered for a moment and said, “Let Wizard Luce go with you. Wizard Luce can wield spells, and has some casting tools so he should be of help to you.”

Luce nodded. Coming into the Slothful Beast world, it was pitiful to see the once powerful Spell Caster civilization so weak here. Therefore, he was happy to contribute to the Spell Caster force right now.

“Looks like I’ll be staying in this Slothful Beast world for a long time…”

Merlin stared at the huge Vortex Hole with a look of despair. For now, there was no way for him to leave the Slothful Beast world through the Vortex Hole. All he could do now was to wait quietly.

…

In the dark and icy Void Zone, there was a dazzling dimension that was moving slowly. Just a single glance would give anyone a feeling of awe.

This was Arcane City belonging to the Spell Caster civilization, a dimension that was created by the Arcane Wizards, and could move around!

In a secret space inside Arcane City, the Blackfire Lord was sitting quietly by the door, seemingly to be waiting for something.

“Swoosh.”

Suddenly, the Blackfire Lord stood up abruptly, and stared at the door.

“Blackfire, you have been waiting outside for thirty-six years!”

The door opened, and there was a ball of glowing light that could not be discerned.

“Great Arcane Wizard Setoh, my disciple Merlin has been swallowed by the Slothful Beast. Therefore, I would like to request Wizard Setoh to please rescue my disciple!”

The Blackfire Lord said respectfully. Although he was a highly admired Great Lord, before this ball of light, he had nothing to be proud of.

This was because this was one of the three most powerful Arcane Wizards in the Spell Caster civilization. It was attributed to these three Great Arcane Wizards, that the entire Spell Caster civilization could flourish, and prosper into one of the most powerful civilizations.

The Arcane Wizards also represented the apex existences of the hundreds and thousands of dimensions in the Void Zone!

“Slothful Beast? Your disciple had encountered the Slothful Beast, then there’s nothing I can do. You should know the Slothful Beast quite well. I’m powerless against it!”

Upon hearing the request, Arcane Wizard Setoh kept silent for a moment, and replied slowly.

The Blackfire Lord hesitated for a second, and then steeled his expression. In a deep voice, he said, “Merlin is my most valued disciple. He might have the possibility of perfecting the Mind Power system…”

Before he could finish, Wizard Setoh interrupted him. “Blackfire, do you still think that someone can reverse the natural order and perfect the Mind Power system? It’s impossible. The two other Arcane Wizards and I have done the calculations together. It’s completely impossible for anyone to perfect the Mind Power system. The natural order exists as an indication of our limitations. So, in order to go against the natural order, one must first transcend the limitations. How could there be anyone without any limitation? Even we the Arcane Wizards are still subject to the natural order. Though there are innumerable civilizations throughout the hundreds and thousands of dimensions in the Void Zone, who among them could transcend the limitations and reverse the natural order?”

There was no doubt that Wizard Setoh’s voice was steadfast!

The Blackfire Lord took a deep breath, appearing to have made a major decision. In a grave tone, he said, “Wizard Setoh, I’m willing to use the previous promise you made to me!”

“Promise? Blackfire, you’re my junior disciple. Back then, before our teacher, I made you a promise. The hope was that at a most critical time, I’ll be able to help you. Right now, however, you’re going to use up this remarkably precious promise for a disciple?”

Wizard Setoh’s tone reflected some degree of sternness. Nevertheless, the information revealed via this exchange was enough to completely overwhelm countless people.

The Ultimate Arcane Wizard Setoh was actually the senior disciple alongside the Blackfire Lord, and were taught by the same teacher. It was rumored that the Blackfire Lord was one of the most ancient Great Lords, but it was unexpected that he had such a special and close relationship with Arcane Wizard Setoh.
