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…

Chapter 619: Crisis II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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.

Chapter 620: Wizard Heart

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"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!

Chapter 621: Shock!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"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

"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…
