Chapter 774: The Flare Emperor!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"You both came from the outer-region. Do you know of a massive beast of incomparable size? Why can't I kill it no matter what?"

After a long moment, it was Flarite who spoke first. What mattered most to him was that huge beast – the most fearsome one he ever saw. Merlin and Setoh came from the outer-region and should know about the huge beast.

"Massive beast?"

Merlin and Setoh exchanged a glance, then blurted out, "Could it be that Slothful Beast?"

Back in the Void Zone, they had encountered a Slothful Beast and the strange sea of fire. In the end, that sea of fire had sucked in the Slothful Beast, along with Merlin and Setoh.

"You know that huge beast?"

Flarite's eyes brightened. At the moment, that giant beast was giving him the biggest headache. Although it looked docile, who knew how it might change in the future? If it was not in the desert but instead came to the Flare Nation or the Flame Nation, those two nations would have been wrecked by that creature long ago.

Thus, Flarite wanted to resolve the threat of the huge beast.

Merlin considered for a moment. "Whether it's the Slothful Beast or not, we can't tell. We'll have to take a look before confirming this!"

Although Merlin and Setoh felt that this huge beast was the Slothful Beast, they had to see it to be sure.

"Of course you need to take a look first! How about this – you wish to leave the Flare Region world, right? If you come and take a look at this beast and say whether it's this Slothful Beast you've mentioned, we'll tell you how to leave the Flare Region world. What do you think?"

Flarite spoke evenly. He was not like the people of the Flare Nation or the Flame Nation. He had a certain degree of understanding about the Void Zone.

"We don't have any choice right now. However, we must be cautious around Flarite!"

Merlin and Setoh exchanged looks, both wary about Flarite. In such an unusual, peculiar world, they had met such a formidable existence. It was too astonishing.

"Good, let's hurry there as fast as we can!"

With that, Flarite led Merlin and Setoh, swiftly flying into the distance.

…

Among the billowing yellow sand of the vast desert, four figures were quickly approaching, standing in mid-air. Merlin and Setoh could spot, in the distance, a colossal creature of unprecedented size. It was crawling along languidly, paying no mind to the terrifying temperature at all.

"A Slothful Beast, it really is a Slothful Beast!"

At first glance, Merlin and Setoh knew that this massive beast was a monster of the Void Zone, rarely seen but very peculiar – the Slothful Beast!

Back then, that sea of fire had absorbed the Slothful Beast into the Flare Region world. After seeing this Slothful Beast, Merlin and Setoh heaved a small sigh of relief. With this Slothful Beast, it was likely that Flarite would not attack them so easily, for there was no one who understood the Slothful Beast more than them.

They were well acquainted with the toughness of the Slothful Beast. Flarite must have learned this as well or he would not be so helpless.

"Both of you, is this the Slothful Beast you spoke of?"

Flarite asked again.

"That's right, this is the Slothful Beast we know. It's relatively gentle by nature. Usually, it won't get angry over any attack. Of course, there aren't many forces that could injure them."

Setoh explained calmly. He knew that Flarite was surely at his wit's end with this Slothful Beast. It was not just Flarite for even the three Great Arcane Wizards could do nothing to the Slothful Beast.

Upon hearing this, Flarite's face relaxed slightly but there was still a trace of anxiety. "So, what do I do to kill this Slothful Beast?"

Even though Merlin and Setoh said that this Slothful Beast had a meek temperament, no matter how meek it was, the Slothful Beast was too massive that it was still a threat. The mere possibility that it might leave the desert and move around as it pleased would cause countless fatalities. Therefore, if the Slothful Beast stayed in the Flare Region world, it was a risk factor.

Nonetheless, Merlin's heart leaped, and he said with a smile, "It's practically impossible to kill the Slothful Beast, so you can only banish it from the Flare Region world. Surely, as master of the sacred land, you're not oblivious to the fact that the Flare Region world is merely one dimension?"

After he had spoken, Merlin and Setoh glowered steadily at Flarite. Flarite, who was the master of the sacred land, must know that the Flare Region world was just one dimension, surrounded by the boundless Void Zone outside.

"Dimension?"

In response, Flarite shook his head with a bitter smile. "You don't know the actual situation of the Flare Region world. Although I know that there's a vast universe beyond the Flare Region world called the Void Zone, I have no way to leave this Flare Region world!"

"What? No way to leave the Flare Region world? How is that possible?"

Merlin and Setoh had seen with their own eyes that terrifying sea of fire that could directly swallow even a Slothful Beast. They were swept in as well, discovering that the space here was incomparably solid. By relying on themselves, they would not know how to leave the Flare Region world, so they thought about looking for the sacred land.

However, they had never expected that even the master of the sacred land was unable to leave the Flare Region world. In most dimensions, as long as one was a Legend, one could easily leave the dimension.

"Both of you, follow me to the sacred land. I'll explain everything to you. Since it's the first time you've arrived at the Flare Region world, there are many things you don't know. Let's go to the sacred land. You'll understand everything then."

After being offered this invitation by Flarite, Merlin and Wizard Setoh considered the matter briefly. Currently, they had no other way, and could only nod and follow behind Flarite, flying toward the sacred land.

Soon, they saw a continuous stretch of a mountain range. It looked just like raging, roaring flames. The temperature here seemed to be even higher.

Amid the mountain range, there was a temple that emanated a mystical force. This must be the sacred land which Flarite spoke of.

"Both of you, please come in. It's the first time the sacred land is receiving visitors from the outer-region!"

Flarite said with a smile. Merlin had already used his Mind Power to examine the condition of the sacred land. He saw that there were only three people here. Other than the two individuals before them, there was also a woman.

Both of them followed Flarite into the sacred land. The scorching heat outside was unparalleled but it was cooler in the sacred land. However, when they entered the main foyer, Merlin and Setoh were attracted to a statue.

The statue was shrouded in flames as if it was born from the fire. Even though it was merely a statue, it was brimming with a powerful force.

"This is the noble existence who had created the Flare Region world – Sir Flare Emperor!"

Flarite looked toward this statue with an expression filled with reverence.

"Flare Emperor? There's an ultimate existence like him in the Void Zone?"

Wizard Setoh naturally knew that an ordinary ultimate existence would be incapable of creating such a dimension. At the very least, he and the other two Arcane Wizards would be unable to create a dimension like this which cut off most of the natural order's power.

In addition, Wizard Setoh did not know since when the Void Zone had an ultimate existence like the Flare Emperor.

Setoh was unclear about this but Merlin was flabbergasted. Ever since he had entered the purple dimension and learned about the Void Zone's secrets from countless years ago, he knew that the Void Zone once had the Thirty-six Emperors. They truly stood at the peak, and in the infinite Void Zone, there was no one mightier than them.

To be called an "Emperor", this must be one of the Thirty-six Emperors!

"The Flare Emperor – could he be one of the Thirty-six Emperors?"

Although Merlin had guessed as much, he still asked softly.

"Hmm? You know about the Thirty-six Emperors? That's right, the creator of our sacred land and the entire Flare Region world is one of the Thirty-six Emperors – Sir Flare Emperor!"

Upon hearing that Merlin knew about the Thirty-six Emperors, Flarite's wariness seemed to evaporate significantly.

Wizard Setoh knitted his brow. As an ultimate existence, he had never heard of these Thirty-six Emperors, so he asked Merlin, "Wizard Merlin, you've never mentioned these Thirty-six Emperors before?"

After some careful thought, Merlin finally decided to tell Arcane Wizard Setoh about the Thirty-six Emperors and the Vestigial Tribe. This was the Void Zone's greatest secret. It happened too long ago, to the point that even ultimate existences had never heard of the legends regarding the Thirty-six Emperors.

Chapter 775: Prison!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Wizard Setoh, previously I was in the boundless territory where I met Maya of the Golden Light Tribe. At that time, I hadn't become an Honored Legend, and was merely a Great Wizard!"

Setoh nodded. "Maya from the Golden Light Tribe? I know a little about him. The Golden Light Tribe is a weaker civilization but as they have an existence on par with an Honored Legend like Maya, they could just about survive in the Void Zone. Of course, though you weren't an Honored Legend, you were already close to one."

Naturally, Setoh knew about Merlin's capability. Despite not becoming an Honored Legend, Merlin would have been close to one. However, Setoh did not know that Merlin also had the empire-level warship of the Atlan civilization at that time, so Merlin was unafraid of Maya.

"Maya and I began to fight over some matter, and coincidentally came across a massive purple dimension. Both of us entered the purple dimension, later discovering that this was an inheritance left behind by the Purple Emperor, an incomparably ancient existence from who-knows-how-many million years ago!

"It was in this purple dimension that I've learned about the Void Zone's early secrets. It turns out that the Void Zone had been matchlessly prosperous. There were the Thirty-six Emperors who were the strongest beings in the infinite Void Zone. They were not something an average ultimate existence can compare to. Nonetheless, the Thirty-six Emperors suffered major casualties. Despite their immense power, they had to confront a catastrophe that had engulfed the entire Void Zone – the Vestigial Tribe!

"The Vestigial Tribe was different from other civilizations. They could rely on external forces to possess terrifying powers. They had warships, puppets, and could even borrow external forces to become Lords or even ultimate existences. Plus, the Vestigial Tribe had the power to kill ultimate existences. They did not fear the power of the natural order because their system of strength couldn't merge with the natural order.

"This catastrophe swept across the Void Zone. After an unknown number of years of war, the Thirty-six Emperors did not even hold much hope for winning, so they each left behind their various inheritances."

Merlin explained all he knew in detail. The Vestigial Tribe and the Thirty-six Emperors – all these were secret not known to even the three Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization and many other ultimate existences.

After all, these were matters too distant in the past, until even the present ultimate existences would be unable to imagine.

"That's right. You're Wizard Merlin, yes? What you said is about the same as the records left behind by Sir Flare Emperor. The Thirty-six Emperors had led the civilizations of the Void Zone to confront the Vestigial Tribe, resulting in endless casualties. It was too merciless. Fortunately, we won in the end but Sir Flare Emperor went missing. We don't know where he went, and are only left with this prison."

"Prison? You say this place is a prison?"

Merlin looked puzzled. The entire Flare Region world seemed quite peculiar indeed. The space was so solid that not even a Great Lord could break through, yet a mere world like this could produce so many Honored Legends.

In addition, in this sacred land, there were powerful existences who, like Flarite, were close to a Lord who had five ultimate Maxims, able to try merging with the natural order. Many formidable civilizations would find it difficult to give birth to beings like these.

Furthermore, other than Flarite, Merlin's Mind Power had detected two others in the sacred land who were formidable existences at the level of a Lord.

A small world like this had gathered so many contenders. It was strange indeed.

"So, this prison is used to lock up whom?"

"Of course it's to lock up the Vestigial Tribe!"

Flarite spoke with a shrug.

"The Vestigial Tribe? You still have the Vestigial Tribe?"

Merlin stood up in a rush, his face gripped by surprise. When he had heard about the Vestigial Tribe from the Purple Emperor, he was already very shocked. He found it difficult to imagine a civilization that could take over the entire Void Zone.

At the moment, the Spell Caster civilization, the Rock Tribe civilization, even including the God Alliance, could occupy a very small region of the entire Void Zone at most. They had not even reached the end of the Void Zone, much less taken over the entire Void Zone.

Therefore, Merlin found it difficult to conceive how powerful the Vestigial Tribe must have been back then. Still, he had never seen the Vestigial Tribe. Now that he had heard this was a prison to detain the Vestigial Tribe, would he not be dumbstruck?

Flarite shook his head powerlessly. "At first, this was a place Sir Flare Emperor designed to imprison the Vestigial Tribe. However, later on, even Sir Flare Emperor himself was gone. Naturally, it did not detain any Vestigial Tribe. We're still guessing if the war has ended. That's right, you came from the outer-region. Based on your manner, you don't even know about the Vestigial Tribe. Has the war really ended?"

Merlin stared at Flarite in utter shock. Could Flarite have lived for so long, constantly staying in the Flare Region world? It was true that many beings such as gods, would not die as long as their divinity lasted. Theoretically, they could live on forever.

However, in reality, they had not seen anyone who had lived very long. After all, in the Void Zone, there were many unexpected events. During a fight with someone, a moment of carelessness could lead to death.

"Don't look at me like that. I've simply lived for a longer time, that's all…"

Flarite spoke breezily.

By now, Setoh had vaguely sensed how terrifying Flarite was, whose lifespan was even longer than the birth of many powerful civilizations.

Nonetheless, Setoh was burning with one question ever since Merlin had described the Vestigial Tribe, especially since the Spell Caster civilization was not in a favorable situation, so he panicked.

"Merlin, the Vestigial Tribe that you've mentioned earlier, could they be the Atlan civilization?"

Wizard Setoh finally could not help but ask. After all, Merlin's description of the Vestigial Tribe seemed similar to the Atlan civilization. The Atlan Dimension by itself was already so unique, completely cutting off the natural order. It was not an ordinary dimension and must be hiding some secrets.

Furthermore, there was the ultimate-level divinity the Atlan civilization had gifted to the Lord God of Light, which allowed him to recover so quickly. This made the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards somewhat suspicious but as they did not know the secret of the Vestigial Tribe, they did not consider the matter from other perspectives.

Nevertheless, upon careful consideration, there were too many doubtful points. The Atlan civilization could not possibly emerge suddenly in such a formidable manner.

"The Atlan civilization?"

Merlin frowned. Now that Wizard Setoh had brought this up, he could only reply. "Initially, I have my suspicions as well. The Atlan civilization is too similar to the Vestigial Tribe but they're too far apart. They don't even have an ultimate existence. Even the void-level warship is merely a rumor, and it's still not manufactured. Even so, I now suspect whether the Atlan civilization is connected to the Vestigial Tribe. For instance, they might be some type of descendant. Who can tell?"

It was not just Merlin but Wizard Setoh who had thought of this. If the Atlan civilization was the descendant of the Vestigial Tribe, there would be great trouble.

"What is this Atlan civilization you speak of? They're the descendants of the Vestigial Tribe or are somehow linked to them?"

Flarite's expression had turned serious.

"This is merely conjecture on our part. Perhaps you've stayed in the Flare Region world for too long, so you don't know that there aren't any traces left of the Vestigial Tribe. On the other hand, there's this strange civilization called the Atlan civilization. Now, they're waging war against our Spell Caster civilization, and we're on our way to ask for support from the Giant Tribe…"

Merlin briefly outlined the present situation, and Flarite soon got the gist of it.

"Therefore, we now need your help, master of the sacred land, in leaving this Flare Region world!"

Merlin spoke sincerely. Currently, they must leave the Flare Region world as quickly as possible and return to the Void Zone. Otherwise, there was no telling how the situation would change for the Spell Caster civilization.

"Back then, Sir Flare Emperor had given us orders to imprison the Vestigial Tribe for they are our enemy! It's too bad that we three sentinels appointed by Sir Flare Emperor don't have the power to leave the Flare Region world because this is a prison. Therefore, even for us, we can only enter but not exit…"

Flarite spoke helplessly, and his words induced a great change in Merlin and Setoh's expressions. This meant that they had no way of leaving the Flare Region world!

Chapter 776: The Limbo Prison!

"It's only possible to enter but not to exit. What does this mean?"

Merlin and Setoh's faces turned ashen. They did not wish to be trapped in the Flare Region world for countless years or they would be unable to visit the Giant Tribe to help the Spell Caster civilization. The consequences would be unthinkable.

Flarite looked up with a bitter smile. "You've heard earlier that the entire Flare Region world is a prison to detain the Vestigial Tribe! This prison is incomparably solid. Whether from outside or inside, it's nearly impossible to exit. If a prison allows one to go out easily, what kind of prison is it? Of course, Sir Flare Emperor had said that the exception would be those ultimate existences who could sense the traces of the natural order left here. They might still be able to break free from this prison. However, from the looks of it, you're not ultimate existences, right?"

The Flare Region world was a prison made to lock in the Vestigial Tribe. Other than ultimate existences, no one would be able to break free from it. With this thought, Setoh raised his head abruptly, and Darkness Maxim swiftly gathering over his body.

Merlin did not stop Wizard Setoh when he saw what Setoh was doing. He might as well let Setoh give it a shot, to see if it was as impossible to leave the Flare Region world as Flarite had said.

"Open!"

Setoh waved his hand, and the terrifying Darkness Element turned into a darkness giant. It grasped with both hands at something and tore it apart furiously.

If this was an ordinary dimension, a tear like this would easily split the dimension apart. Nonetheless, the Flare Region world merely gave a small shudder. The breeze brushed past softly, and nothing changed.

"Why is it like this?"

Merlin's expression turned cold. He saw that Wizard Setoh was unhappy as well. They were trapped in the Flare Region world.

"How about that? I wasn't lying, right? I wanted to leave this place. It's been so many years. Even though we have orders from Sir Flare Emperor, who would stay here? During these years, the world that was initially barren gradually gave birth to living creatures, even developing into a civilization. We've witnessed the glory and decline of many empires, even the golden era of this world. However, no matter what, we can't change the fact that this is a prison, and we can't get out…"

Flarite's tone was despondent. It was not that he did not want to leave. Conversely, no one would want to stay here after being in this place for so long. They wished to leave too.

However, this was a prison designed by the Flare Emperor of the Thirty-six Emperors. How could they leave so easily? Back then, the three of them who were selected did not plan on leaving. Even so, after an extensive passage of time, even the strongest resolve would waver.

"There must be a way! Flarite, as sentinels of this prison, where is this prison exactly?"

Merlin looked up and fixed a gaze on Flarite as he asked carefully.

"The prison's exact position? This entire dimension is a prison. For instance, you are trapped in here, and can't go out. This is the prison!"

Flarite's words helped Merlin understand that the entire Flare Region world was a natural prison. They were swept into this world, and could not get out.

"Then how do you control this prison? As sentinels, you may have some special methods to control it. Otherwise, why would the Flare Region world suck us in?"

Merlin did not buy into Flarite's excuses. Perhaps Flarite was mainly speaking the truth but he must have kept some things to himself. The way they were swept into the Flare Region world, for example, was something a prison would not do.

Flarite's expression was one of embarrassment as he explained in a low voice, "Alright. There's no issue telling you now since there's no Vestigial Tribe in this prison, and they've vanished anyway. To be honest, you were sucked in by the Flare Region world because some small mishaps had occurred throughout the years. Not even I can control it…"

"Mishaps?"

"That's right, mishaps! Initially, the Flare Region world wouldn't engulf you in that manner but as more time passed, I kept trying to leave the Flare Region world every day. Therefore, this caused some small mishaps, and the entire Flare Region world would explode with immense power irregularly. This is the power of the entire prison, and anyone below ultimate existences would be unable to escape! Unless the power of the natural order is involved, anyone would be swept into the Flare Region world."

Flarite was rather embarrassed. He wanted to leave the Flare Region world too badly but unintentionally caused more issues. Not only was he still unable to escape but he had also triggered the function of the prison, which constantly "capture" people.

Merlin and Setoh were such sacrifices!

Merlin knitted his brow. He thought about the Slothful Beast. This was an existence beast which the three Arcane Wizards could not handle, yet it was sucked into the Flare Region world.

"Although the Slothful Beast is powerful, it can't mobilize the power of the natural order. It can only move by instinct… That's right, Wizard Merlin, we can use the Slothful Beast!"

Setoh seemed to have thought of a plan, and his eyes shone.

"That's right. The Slothful Beast is very strong. Can it break out of this prison?"

Merlin's eyes gleamed as well. They thought of the Slothful Beast. Nonetheless, it was difficult to manipulate the Slothful Beast because it would not become enraged. The Slothful Beast would not pay any attention at all using ordinary methods.

Just like how the three Great Arcane Wizards had attacked the Slothful Beast in the past but the Slothful Beast did not care at all, and the three Arcane Wizards could do nothing. This time, Flarite had tried to use various techniques of attacking the Slothful Beast but it still did not react.

Merlin thought about it for a moment, then told Flarite, "Bring us there for a look since it's an area under the sentinels' control. Since you're sentinels, you're surely able to control the Flare Region world. I'm guessing you've exploited that factor to try and leave this world."

"That's right, that's what I did. However, it's too difficult to leave… I'll take you for a look!"

Flarite did not refuse and immediately stood up. He softly delivered instructions to the man beside him, following which the man took his leave first, probably to make preparations.

"Both of you, please follow me!"

With that, Merlin and Wizard Setoh followed behind Flarite, heading outside. After a short moment, that man had joined Flarite once again, bringing with him a woman whose force Merlin had previously detected through his Mind Power. She must be a sentinel of the sacred land as well.

"I forgot to introduce to you. These two are sentinels as well. Back then, Sir Flare Emperor had arranged for them to assist me in guarding this prison."

The man was called Flaraoh and the woman was called Flarmun. They were both comparable to Lords, which made Merlin and Setoh endlessly astounded. It was not surprising that they were able to guard this massive prison.

The Flare Emperor spared no expenses, sending three Lords to act as sentinels!

"Alright, this is the heart of the sacred land. There's another name for this place, called the Limbo Prison. It's simple – although the entire Flare Region world is a prison, if someone comes in here and stir up trouble, then us sentinels will have to do our jobs. We'll capture them and throw them into the Limbo Prison. As the name suggests, the Limbo Prison will put one in a state akin to limbo. Very few people, other than ultimate existences, will be able to bear that torment."

As Flarite explained, he revealed some apprehension toward this Limbo Prison.

Merlin looked ahead. Indeed, there was a huge, open space before them, burning with unceasing light blue flames that surged turbulently. Just the force of the blaze alone induced a sense of extreme danger in Merlin.

"Hiss."

Merlin condensed a flash of Darkness Maxim that instantly blanketed the sea of light blue flames. However, in the blink of an eye, Merlin's Darkness maxim was reduced to ashes.

Merlin's face changed slightly. Even an ultimate Maxim was burned to ashes. This light blue blaze was truly incomparably frightening.

Chapter 777: Becoming a Lord!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Merlin, what are you doing?"

Wizard Setoh saw that Merlin was making a beeline for the Limbo Prison, and asked hurriedly.

Merlin did not answer Wizard Setoh but instead, asked Flarite, "These flames of the Limbo Prison are left behind by the Flare Emperor?"

"That's right, the flames of the Limbo Prison are left behind by Sir Flare Emperor. Actually, Sir Flare Emperor is different from us. He's not from any Flare Tribe. From birth to death, Sir Flare Emperor is unique because he's born from the flames. In other words, Sir Flare Emperor himself is a strand of flame!"

Setoh raised an eyebrow, asking disbelievingly, "How's that possible? If the Flare Emperor is a flame, that would reverse the natural order. How is that possible?"

"There's nothing impossible."

Faced with Wizard Setoh's questioning, Flarite became more generous with information instead. He smiled and said, "In the vast Void Zone, what life form doesn't exist? According to an ancient legend, any life born from reversing the natural order would surely be a noble existence. Lifeforms that reverse the natural order have unimaginable potential. Back then, Sir Flare Emperor was one such being that reversed the natural order, being born of flames. In the end, he became one of the greatest Thirty-six Emperors!"

Flarite began to explain once more. The Flare Emperor was singular indeed, and could not be replicated. Although these sentinels had the surname "Flar(e)", in truth, they were not a tribe. Instead, they were foreign tribes recruited by the Flare Emperor from various dimensions of the Void Zone.

There was only one true member of the Flare Tribe, and that was the Flare Emperor!

"Wizard Setoh, just think of the black cat Didimoss and you'll understand."

Conversely, Merlin was first to accept this. After all, the black cat Didimoss had spent a significant period by Merlin's side. Merlin was not surprised at all if Didimoss progressed even more rapidly than Merlin.

"Didimoss… That's true. If it's a life form that reverses the natural order, it boggles the mind! To be able to become one of the Thirty-six Emperors isn't that inconceivable!"

Now Wizard Setoh had gradually understood the might of the Thirty-six Emperors. These were existences who were acknowledged to stand at the peak of the entire Void Zone. Each of the Thirty-six Emperors had many ultimate existences under their command.

He knew that even Augustus, compared to the Thirty-six Emperors, would face a world of difference. There was no point of comparison at all.

"Since these flames were left behind by the Flare Emperor, they must be the true Essence of Fire. Even though there's no power of the natural order, they're endlessly powerful, not inferior to a Flame Maxim in the slightest!"

When this occurred to him, Merlin became more interested in the Limbo Prison. After condensing his Darkness Maxim, he kept thinking of condensing more ultimate Maxims.

The moment he had condensed one more ultimate Maxim, Merlin would become a Great Lord. Nonetheless, Merlin's talent for understanding Maxims was not that great. Although he was a rare Six-Elemental Wizard, he merely had unlimited potential.

At present, he had the highest chance of condensing a Fire-type ultimate Maxim. Therefore, when he came across these light blue flames that were connected to fire, and left behind by the Flare Emperor, one of the lofty Thirty-six Emperors, Merlin naturally could not miss this chance.

"You wish to rely on these flames left by the Flare Emperor to consolidate a Fire-type Maxim?"

Setoh finally figured out Merlin's plan, and asked with a frown.

Merlin nodded. Nonetheless, Wizard Setoh had missed the mark somewhat. Merlin did not simply wish to condense a Maxim but an ultimate Maxim!

Although his chances were low, he had to try it no matter what. There was no time to lose for it was rare to come by a chance like this.

"Master of the sacred land, I wish to attain the Flame Maxim. You should be able to control the Limbo Prison. Can you leave behind a tiny portion of the flames?"

Merlin did not blindly rush into the raging, sizzling flames of the Limbo Prison. This was a place feared even by Great Lords, used expressly to punish powerful beings who incited trouble in the prison. Naturally, Merlin had to be prudent.

"You want to use these flames? Right on, you must want to use them to understand something. We've often learned from these flames Sir Flare Emperor had left behind as well. Otherwise, we wouldn't be where we are today…"

Flarite could understand Merlin's intentions. This was something left by one of the mighty existences of the Thirty-six Emperors, how could it not be precious? Anyone who utilized the power of "fire" would be tempted.

Setoh and Merlin had figured out that the Flare Region world used to cultivate the power of fire. This was likely linked to the Flare Emperor, who had imparted this system of power. Meanwhile Flarite, in turn, passed it on to the rest of the Flare Region world.

Merlin's body still flickered with the Darkness Maxim. The Maxim Chains protected Merlin from head to toe. As soon as he stepped into the Limbo Prison, Merlin could feel a force of extreme danger.

Although these light blue flames were already under Flarite's total control, Merlin was still very cautious, not daring to let down his guard at all.

"Alright, you can release some of the flames. Let me experience them properly."

Merlin shut his eyes lightly. He had already prepared himself for the experience. His mind started to recall his understanding of flames, and his learning of Fire Element before this. These all battered against his mind incessantly.

When he was originally a Great Wizard, Merlin's understanding of Fire Element was about the same as his understanding of Darkness Element. However, later on, Merlin's Darkness-type understanding advanced, and took the lead in condensing an ultimate Maxim.

With Merlin's current comprehension of Fire Element, he should just about be able to condense an ordinary Maxim, becoming a Legend. Nonetheless, this was merely the first step, far from enough. What he wanted to create was an ultimate Maxim!

Although there was no essential difference between ultimate Maxims and ordinary Maxims, the disparity in strength was huge. Just as with humans – there was a massive difference between a child and a strong healthy adult.

Merlin wanted to directly attain the ultimate Maxim, which was akin to forcing his "growth", cutting short the time it would take. Naturally, this was very challenging. The usual process would take many years.

"Take note, I'll slowly release the flames in the Limbo Prison!"

Flarite began to slowly release the flames of the Limbo Prison. In gradual degrees, the heat of the Limbo Prison started to increase, and Merlin was faced with the light blue flames which even Lords feared.

The flames on Merlin's body were furiously burning as well. He wanted to distinguish between these two types of flames. This was one of the methods for attaining an ultimate Maxim. Only through differentiation, one could recognize the Essence of the Element.

"Sizzle."

When the two types of flames met, although Merlin's flames were greater in volume, and the light blue flame merely had one wisp, this light blue flame still did not lose any ground despite being surrounded by Merlin's flames. Instead, it drew support from Merlin's flames and combust vigorously, flaring up in force.

The light blue flames used Merlin's flames to burn madly. Merlin was rather taken aback. Flames could be incinerated by flames. Merlin had never seen this, so it far surpassed his imagination.

Not even the strongest Fire-type Maxim could use other flames as a base for combustion.

Although Merlin did not know what this was, this did not hinder his learning. He stared at the seemingly unstoppable blaze and gained another insight. The Essence of flames was to burn!

Fire was equivalent to burning!

No matter what power or function it had, fire could only be produced after combustion. Before this, Merlin's understanding of flames was limited to destruction and power, which slightly touched upon the true Essence. Still, that would merely produce an ordinary Maxim.

The ultimate Maxim of flames was in fact burning. Based on how the light blue flames had used his ordinary flames as a foundation to begin the ignition, a flash of inspiration immediately came to Merlin. Burning – no matter what, anything below flames could burn.

Perhaps the Flare Emperor's flames were significantly distinct from the Flame Maxim that Merlin was attaining. After all, the system of power was different. Nevertheless, Merlin was inspired, gaining new comprehension.

"Rumble."

In an instant, Merlin's flames swelled up dramatically, forming a terrifying sea of fire in mid-air that nearly enveloped the entire sacred land!

"What's this?"

Flarite was slightly shocked. This was such a tremendous commotion that might affect his control over the Flare Region world. After all, the sacred land was the core of the prison area.

"He's condensed a Fire-type ultimate Maxim? He really is consolidating it…"

Nothing could beat Setoh's amazement. He knew clearly what it meant to consolidate an ultimate Maxim in one step. Most Wizards would condense a Maxim before slowly consolidating an ultimate Maxim. If everything went smoothly, it would take a few centuries or even a thousand years.

However, Merlin had just condensed the Darkness Maxim – how long ago was that? Now, he was starting to consolidate a Fire-type ultimate Maxim. Once he had succeeded, the Spell Caster civilization would have another Great Lord!

Back then, the Blackfire Lord had only become a Great Lord with Darkness-type and Fire-type Maxims. If Merlin could successfully condense an ultimate Flame Maxim, he would not be inferior to the Blackfire Lord.

Due to his Mind Power system, Merlin was even able to wield more functions than the Blackfire Lord.

"Perhaps it's time to call him the Glory Lord!"

A smile tugged at the corner of Wizard Setoh's mouth. No matter what, when Merlin's abilities had improved and the Spell Caster had an additional Great Lord, it was worthy of celebration.

The disturbance in the sky grew wilder and wilder. It was not Elements but simply the ultimate Maxim that Merlin was consolidating. Clouds of fire descended, transforming into wisps of Maxim. This was distinct from Merlin's Maxim Chains. This time, the Fire-type Maxim turned into balls of condensation. Merlin could clearly feel the fearsome strength contained within.

"Maxim Chains can seal off while the Fire-type Maxim possesses a mighty attack…"

A smirk flitted across Merlin's lips. Bit by bit, he slowly absorbed the Flame Maxim that filled the sky into his own body.

At the present moment, Merlin was already a Great Lord!

"Boom."

Suddenly, the entire sacred land quaked slightly. Soon, a very fine crack appeared in the air. In the midst of the flames, it was completely unremarkable.

However, both Setoh and Flarite looked up quickly toward the sky, their eyes fixed steadily upon that crack. Flarite seemed rather remorseful as he said, "After causing such a great disturbance, I'm afraid it has damaged the core of the prison. This will affect the entire Flare Region world. However, that small bit of power was insufficient to cause the Flare Region world to shake like that, much less create a crack. Could it be the flames of the Limbo Prison?"

Flarite knew that the sacred land was the core of the entire Flare Region world. Any changes that happened to the sacred land would reverberate across the entire Flare Region world.

Moreover, the sacred land's core was the Limbo Prison designed by the Flare Emperor! It was just that the light blue flames of the Limbo Prison were too overbearing. Usually, Flarite would not come to the Limbo Prison on his own.

However, Setoh had sensed something else. As an avatar of an ultimate existence, although he could not mobilize the power of the natural order, he had an unparalleled sensitivity toward it.

Therefore, in that instant when the crack emerged, the power of the natural order rapidly surged in. Setoh noticed this at once because the Flare Region world functioned to cut off the natural order's power, so his senses were particularly heightened.

"So, this gigantic prison of the Flare Region world isn't indestructible!"

When he saw that crack, and felt the sudden surge of the power of the natural order, Wizard Setoh was incomparably galvanized. He seemed to have gained hope of leaving the Flare Region world!

Chapter 778: Hope of Leaving

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wizard Setoh was extremely excited. He knew that the Flare Region world was no longer incomparably sturdy. That was more than enough. As long as it was not sturdy, there would be hope to leave.

Merlin was still forming his Fire-type ultimate Maxim, and did not pay attention to the situation in the sacred land. He did not even pay attention to the situation in the Limbo Prison.

The only thing he paid attention to was the state in his body. The Fire-type ultimate Maxim was forming and continuously entangled and fused with the Darkness Maxim but could also easily separate. It was not as simple as adding the two ultimate Maxims formed as it was multiplication.

Currently, Merlin was completely worthy of being the Glorious Lord!

"Unbelievable. Truly unbelievable. In the Limbo Prison in the Flare Region world, I had the opportunity to condense an ultimate Maxim and become a Lord!"

Merlin was overjoyed. He knew how challenging it was to form an ultimate Maxim. Back then when he formed his Darkness Maxim, it was also through various coincidences before he finally managed to successfully form it.

However, this time, the Flame Maxim seemed to be going very smoothly. Just by arriving at the Limbo Prison and facing the unknown blue flames, he had successfully formed the Maxim very quickly. Even Merlin felt that he was extremely lucky.

At present, the Spell Caster civilization was facing threats from the Rock Clan, the Light God Organization, and the Atlan civilization. Merlin was extremely happy to become a Lord at this time. This ensured that he had more power to protect himself in the war.

After all, ever since he had perfected the Mind Power system and could control people's minds, he would become a common target. If he appeared on the battlefield, he would attract countless attention, so it would naturally be better if he were stronger.

"Swoosh."

Merlin flew to Wizard Setoh and Flarite with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Wizard Merlin. You're now the Glorious Lord!"

Wizard Setoh was happy for Merlin from the bottom of his heart, and Flarite also nodded and smiled. He could feel the increase in Merlin's strength. However, to a quasi-ultimate existence comparable to someone with five ultimate Maxims like him, the increase in Merlin's strength was not remarkable at all.

It was just a shame that the sacred land was destroyed, especially the Limbo Prison. Those light blue flames were very likely to spread, so he had to reinforce this place to prevent that from happening.

"It's still useless. We can't leave this place."

Merlin was slightly saddened. Although he was lucky to break through and become a Great Lord, with his strength, he was still unable to burst through the Flare Region world and return to the Void Zone.

"Who said we can't leave this place?"

Wizard Setoh said with a smile that did not seem like a smile as he looked at the sacred land.

Merlin's heart trembled as he asked, "Wizard Setoh, do you have a way?"

Flarite asked incredulously, "Setoh, I understand this Flare Region world the most. Even I don't have any way to break through it. You can leave the Void Zone?"

It was not surprising that Flarite was in disbelief. Even Setoh and Merlin added together were no match for Flarite, and if Flarite himself had no way of leaving the Flare Region world, how could Merlin and Setoh have?

"I can't break through the Flare Region world but the Limbo Prison isn't unbreakable! Did you notice anything when Merlin was forming his Maxim?"

Wizard Setoh's eyes flashed. Right now, there was hope in his heart, so his gloominess was also swept away.

"Notice anything? When Merlin was in the Limbo Prison, there were changes around the sacred land. I couldn't even completely control the entire sacred land… Oh, that crack?"

Flarite immediately recalled that crack. Although it only appeared for an instant, it left an unusually deep impression on him. He had stayed in the Flare Region world for so many years but he had never seen a crack appear in the Flare Region dimension before.

Earlier, he had been worried if the core region of the Flare Region world suffered any changes. However, it was not controlled by him, so he did not linger on the thought. Now that Wizard Setoh reminded him and he thought more carefully about it, he immediately became excited.

This was the hope of being able to leave!

"Yes, that crack is our hope of leaving! Earlier, when that crack appeared, I felt an intense force from the natural order. This means that when Merlin formed his ultimate Maxim, it caused the entire sacred land to shake for some reason. The sacred land, especially the Limbo Prison, is the core of the Flare Region world, right? A crack will only appear if the core is shaken. If we can continue to shake this core, there'll be hope for leaving this Flare Region world."

Wizard Setoh already had this speculation in his heart. This time, he brought them all to light now.

Flarite looked at the sacred land and the Limbo Prison. After a long time, he finally took a deep breath, and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it must be because of the Limbo Prison. Sir Flare Emperor said before that the Flare Region world is extremely sturdy, and is a huge prison. If someone who isn't an ultimate existence gets imprisoned here, then they'll never be able to leave again. The three of us were only chosen to become guards of this huge prison after a careful selection, and we've never thought of leaving here. However, after so many years, the Flare Region world has never imprisoned any members from the Vestigial Tribe but imprison us instead. We've guarded the core region here tightly but we've never thought that this core region was our greatest hope of leaving the Flare Region world.

"The Limbo Prison is the heart of the core! The light blue flames were left behind by the great Sir Flare Emperor. Perhaps only the power he left behind can truly break through the Flare Region world."

They looked at the Limbo Prison. The light blue flames in the Limbo Prison were just too terrifying. Furthermore, Flarite only controlled the Limbo Prison, and not the flames in the prison.

Even Flarite himself was terrified of the light blue flames. How could he use those flames to break out of the huge prison which was also the Flare Region world?

At that time, Merlin and Setoh, as well as the three beings comparable to Great Lords in the sacred land, were baffled by this problem.

Merlin personally experienced the terror of the light blue flames. He believed that even if he had formed a Fire-type ultimate Maxim now, he would still die miserably if he went against the endless light blue flames.

Merlin was not certain that he could control the light blue flames, and Wizard Setoh even less so.

"Everyone, what do we do? We can't control the flames, so how do we use the flames to break out of the Flare Region world? Do we have to remain trapped here our entire lives?"

Merlin's expression was dark. The joy of becoming a Great Lord had also faded.

Flarite said helplessly, "We'll have to wait. Perhaps after tens of thousands of years, we'll be able to control the light blue flames. However, this possibility is very slim…"

Flarite and the other two wanted to leave the Flare Region world but they had already stayed here for a long time, so they did not care for an additional million years.

To them, waiting was not a problem at all.

However, Merlin and Setoh could no longer wait. They did not have the time to wait. If a million years passed, by the time they went back, the entire Spell Caster civilization might have already ceased to exist.

Therefore, they had to try their best to leave the Flare Region world in the shortest amount of time possible.

"I'll try again!"

Merlin stood up. He had just formed his Flame Maxim and wanted to try controlling these flames. However, the success rate was very low.

These light blue flames could burn even Merlin's ultimate Maxim, and were extremely terrifying. Otherwise, it would not have been left behind by the Flare Emperor to torture those imprisoned here.

"No, you can't withstand those flames. If there's anything that can resist them, it'll be…"

Suddenly, Wizard Setoh stopped talking. That was because an idea suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Chapter 779: Idea

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin watched as Setoh's expression changed, and hesitated before asking, "Wizard Setoh, did you think of a way?"

Flarite's eyes also brightened as he stared at Wizard Setoh.

Wizard Setoh glanced at the two, and said in a low voice, "I've thought of an idea. To leave the Flare Region world, we'll have to make use of these light blue flames left behind by the Flare Emperor. However, which one of us can withstand the burns from the light blue flames? Therefore, if we can find something that's unafraid of being burnt by the flames, we might have a chance!"

"Unafraid of the Limbo Prison?"

Flarite's face darkened immediately. The Flare Emperor left this behind just to punish the Vestigial Tribe members. How would there be anyone unafraid of those flames?

Even this Flare Region world's most powerful person, Flarite, was terrified by those light blue flames.

"No, master of the sacred land, right now, in the Flare Region world, you're no longer the strongest! At least, there's someone who even you're helpless against!"

Merlin glanced at Flarite and finally realized the implications of Wizard Setoh's words. With Merlin's reminder, the master of the sacred land also recalled, "You're talking about that beast?"

Flarite also finally recalled the terrifying beast that remained unharmed no matter what he did. If they could lure the Slothful Beast here, they might succeed.

"However, it won't be easy to lure the Slothful Beast here!"

Merlin said with a frown. When they were trapped in the Flare Region world, they once thought about using the Slothful Beast to blow open the Flare Region world and return to the Void Zone. However, they did not use this method. Firstly, it was because the Slothful Beast did not have the power of the natural order, and it would be very challenging to break open the Flare Region world. Secondly, it was because no one could lure the Slothful Beast.

However, the Limbo Prison was the core of the entire Flare Region world. More accurately, this was the true core of the entire prison, and the light blue flames inside could break the Flare Region world.

Therefore, this time, it was not necessary for the Slothful Beast to possess the power of the natural order. As long as the Slothful Beast destroyed the Limbo Prison, their objective of letting the light blue flames break open the Flare Region world would be achieved.

This was Setoh's plan. Merlin had also thought of it at the same time but it was very challenging.

"The plan is good but what ideas do you have to lure the Slothful Beast here?"

Flarite was very clear. Back then, no matter how he attacked the Slothful Beast, it took no notice of him. Therefore, he did not believe that Merlin and Setoh had a way to lure the Slothful Beast to the sacred land.

"No matter what method we have, we need to try. We must lead it to the sacred land. Only then would we have a chance of leaving the Flare Region world!"

They discussed and finally decided to look for the Slothful Beast no matter what. The Slothful Beast was their only hope at leaving the Flare Region world.

…

The vast desert was full of yellow sand flying in the air but Merlin and the other four standing in the air immediately saw the huge Slothful Beast.

Currently, the Slothful Beast was lying in the sand, looking "comfortable". The Slothful Beast could adapt to almost any environment. No matter how harsh the environment was, it would not bother the Slothful Beast.

In the Void Zone, the environment was considered to be quite harsh and empty. However, the Slothful Beast would only occasionally wake up from a deep sleep, swallow a few dimensions, and then continue to sleep again.

Now, the Slothful Beast was beginning to sleep again. It laid on the ground, unmoving. A Slothful Beast's sleep was also quite terrible. Once they slept, they could do so for thousands of years without waking up.

"What now? Why don't you two attack first?"

Merlin looked at Setoh and Flarite.

"I'll pass. I've lost count of the number of times I've attacked it."

Flarite said helplessly but Flaroah and Flarmun standing behind him were different. They had not seen how sturdy a Slothful Beast was before and were willing to make the first move to attack.

As a result, two huge fire god-demons rose to the sky, carrying a terrifying power, and charged toward the Slothful Beast. The burning force made even Merlin feel lightly threatened.

The power of those two was comparable to a Great Lord. Although it was unknown where Flarite and the others' strength originated from, they had a unique power system passed down from the Flare Emperor which was certainly not inferior to the Spell Caster system.

"Bang bang."

There were two muffled impacts. Even when Flaroah and Flarmun had exerted their best efforts, the Slothful Beast did not even open its eyes when their attacks hit its body and remained completely indifferent as if it did not harm the Slothful Beast at all.

"How could this be? What kind of monster is this?"

Although Flarite had told Merlin and the others about how sturdy the Slothful Beast was before, they had not personally seen it with their own eyes, so they did not truly believe it. However, now, they believed it completely.

"I never heard of the Slothful Beast even before we entered the Flare Region world. When did it appear?"

Flarite also muttered softly. He had been away for far too long. In this time, he did not know just how many civilizations were formed and destroyed.

Perhaps it was during this time that the Slothful Beast was born.

"Wizard Setoh, you're not going to try?"

Merlin asked Wizard Setoh.

"There's no need. I've already tested the strength of the Slothful Beast long ago!"

Setoh referred to when the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards had attacked the Slothful Beast together. No matter how they attacked, they could not harm the Slothful Beast at all. At that time, they were three ultimate existences!

"How can the Slothful Beast be lured into the sacred land if it's not awakened?"

Flarite shook his head. He had just said that this method would not work but Wizard Setoh had no better ideas. The Slothful Beast was the strongest creature in the Void Zone but its intelligence was extremely low as if it only moved using their instinct.

"Intelligence?"

Suddenly, Setoh thought about Merlin's Mind Control!

"Wizard Merlin, can you try to control this Slothful Beast?"

Merlin's eyes brightened at the idea. Indeed, he could control minds!

"I'll give it a try!"

Merlin's expression gradually became solemn. Then, his formless Mind Power extended bit by bit, and swiftly enveloped the Slothful Beast.

"Mind Control!"

Usually, when Merlin's Mind Power had penetrated the enemy, he could see their various emotions and control them. However, when his Mind Power enveloped the Slothful Beast, Merlin felt extremely confused.

The Slothful Beast did not have any emotion at all. It was a muddle-headed blank slate. How could a creature with such low intelligence produce emotions?

Therefore, Merlin's Mind Control had no effect on the Slothful Beast. Merlin also felt a sense of helplessness. It was like the martial arts robots of the Atlan civilization. How could he control the mind of a program?

"How is it?"

Setoh and Flarite both looked at Merlin expectantly.

However, Merlin merely shook his head helplessly. The expression on his face also revealed his disappointment.

"It's no use. There's no way to control this Slothful Beast!"

Merlin paused. He had just penetrated the Slothful Beast mind's world. Although the feeling was completely blurry, there was still a trace of consciousness.

Although this awareness was very weak, it was easy for a Ninth-level Mind Power Master to discover.

"Although I can't control the Slothful Beast's mind, I might be able to influence this Slothful Beast using a Hallucinating spell."

Merlin took a deep breath, and immediately enveloped his Mind Power around the Slothful Beast again. This time, he no longer controlled its mind but instead weaved one illusion after another.

Merlin did not need a particularly complicated illusion to deal with the Slothful Beast, a creature that had an extremely weak consciousness. On the contrary, the illusion he created this time was very simple.

It was only a kind of "deliciousness". To the Slothful Beast, it was naturally "food" that worked on it because the only thing the Slothful Beast did besides sleep was to eat. Furthermore, its eating was very terrifying. It could devour countless dimensions.

However, it was also because the Slothful Beast's consciousness was so weak that Merlin was extremely cautious in weaving the illusion. He almost completely followed the Slothful Beast's instinct when creating the illusion.

Ten days passed as he created the illusion.

"Boom."

Finally, thanks to Merlin's untiring efforts, the woven illusion started to work, and the Slothful Beast moved. Although it was only slightly, it caused a huge movement in the desert. In the distance, Wizard Setoh, Flarite, and the others were all startled awake.

"Did it succeed?"

Wizard Setoh asked hastily. Flarite and he both looked eagerly at Merlin.

Merlin only forced out a smile. "A little. There's just a sliver of hope. The Slothful Beast's consciousness is very weak and generally only rely on its instincts. Therefore, I must weave the illusion very carefully. What I have to do now is use the illusion to wake the Slothful Beast up. It may take a long time!"

Merlin did not dare to say he had succeeded. However, there was hope now, unlike before.

"Haha, what matters is we have hope. We've spent so many years in the Flare Region world. What we have the most of is time!"

Flarite was very excited. He had stayed in the Flare Region world for many years. Even a few hundreds of thousands of years was a "short" amount of time for him.

As a result, Merlin had woven the illusion with great effort, and let the Slothful Beast awaken bit by bit. This method was quite practical. Originally, the Slothful Beast would only wake up once every tens of thousands of years after sleeping. However, Merlin directly "deceived" the Slothful Beast in the illusion as if it had already slept for tens of thousands of years.

A month later, the entire desert started to shake.

"Rumble."

How large was that Slothful Beast? Just a slight movement could shake the desert, let alone now, when the Slothful Beast had opened its eyes.

"Alright, it's finally awake. It seems Merlin's method worked!"

Both Setoh and Flarite had high hopes for Merlin this time. Although they could not control the Slothful Beast, Merlin could use this method of weaving an illusion to deceive the beast. The efficiency was somewhat low but at least they had a way now.

Under the influence of Merlin's illusion, the Slothful Beast opened its eyes, and slowly stood up. However, there was some confusion in its eyes. Merlin increased his Mind Power and created illusion after illusion to lure the Slothful Beast to the sacred land.

The Slothful Beast's body was too large, and the land shook with every step it took. Fortunately, it could also fly, so Merlin used a Hallucinating spell to make the Slothful Beast fly toward the sacred land.

Since the Slothful Beast was so large, all the people in the Flare Region world could instantly see it cover half the sky after it left the desert. Fortunately, Flarite, Flaroah, and Flamun used the identities from the sacred land to influence the Flare and Flame Nations, so it did not lead to chaos.

Although the Slothful Beast was huge, it was not slow at all. It followed Merlin, Flarite, and the others to the sacred land under the influence of Merlin's illusion.

"Boom."

The Slothful Beast slowly landed on the sacred land. Thankfully, the sacred land was large enough. Otherwise, it would not be able to hold such a large beast. Even so, Flarite was slightly worried that the Slothful Beast would be unable to enter the Limbo Prison.

"It doesn't matter. The Slothful Beast doesn't need to completely enter the Limbo Prison as long as it wreaks havoc in the prison. We just don't know if it can withstand the burning of the light blue flames!"

Although Merlin and Setoh were both confident of the Slothful Beast, the flames were a power left behind by the one of the Thirty-six Emperors, the Flare Emperor. That power was beyond the comprehension of a regular ultimate existence.

Therefore, even though the Slothful Beast was very powerful and was not affected by the combined attacks of the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards, in the face of the Flare Emperor's light blue flames, there was still some uncertainty.

"Regardless, this is our last chance. Merlin, lead the Slothful Beast here!"

Wizard Setoh also knew that relying on the Slothful Beast was the only way for them to return to the Void Zone now. If even the Slothful Beast could not withstand the light blue flames left behind by the Flare Emperor and became a "roasted beast", then they would admit defeat and no longer have any way of leaving this huge prison in the Flare Region world!

Merlin took a deep breath. He also knew that it was time to see if there was any effect.

Therefore, his Mind Power broke out immediately, and he used an illusion to gradually lure the Slothful Beast toward the Limbo Prison step by step.

"Go…"

Merlin's voice was low. In the illusion, he had transformed the Limbo Prison into a place full of various delicacies. Therefore, the Slothful Beast did not notice anything at all, and stretched out its huge head, and plunged into the Limbo Prison.

"Boom."

The next moment, Flarite, who controlled the Limbo Prison, stopped suppressing the light blue flames and instead, fiercely released it. Immediately, the endless light blue flames surged and spread across the huge Limbo Prison.

The light blue flames directly enveloped the Slothful Beast's huge head. The Slothful Beast that was unafraid of any attack seemed to go insane and let out a horrible roar. Its huge body began to struggle violently as if the light blue flames brought it endless pain.

"It's working. It's really working!"

Merlin looked at the struggling Slothful Beast and immediately grew tense. The light blue flames in the Limbo Prison could hurt the Slothful Beast. At least the first step had been successful.

Now, all Merlin and the others could do was quietly wait…

Chapter 780: Escaping the Prison!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Roar…"

Merlin and Wizard Setoh looked at the struggling Slothful Beast. They had never thought that the beast that the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards attacked together and did no damage to would be in such pain.

Now, the Slothful Beast was indeed in pain. Its huge body began to roll over. The entire palace in the sacred land instantly collapsed. Furthermore, the mountain where the sacred land was located also broke apart and completely crumbled.

However, strangely, there did not seem to be any changes to the Limbo Prison. The sturdiness of the Limbo Prison completely exceeded their expectations.

"I thought that there wouldn't be anything in the entire Void Zone that could harm the Slothful Beast but it seems that I was just ignorant and inexperienced. The flames left behind by the Flare Emperor could hurt the Slothful Beast. If his real body arrives, the Slothful Beast wouldn't be considered a big deal either."

As an ultimate existence, Setoh felt that he was a little ignorant. He was mostly useless compared to the two other Ultimate Arcane Wizards back when they had attacked the Slothful Beast together. He had felt that there was nothing that could harm the Slothful Beast. He was indeed arrogant and ignorant.

At the very least, the thirty-six Emperors of the Void Zone could harm the Slothful Beast, and perhaps even kill it. Although they were also ultimate existences, the gap was still very wide compared to the thirty-six Emperors.

It was even harder to imagine the terror of the Vestigial Tribe, whom great beings such as the thirty-six Emperors died upon fighting in battles.

While watching the Slothful Beast constantly struggling, many thoughts flashed in Setoh's and Merlin's minds. Flarite and the other two were closely watching the Slothful Beast.

As time passed, the Slothful Beast thrashed more violently. Although the light blue flame could hurt the Slothful Beast, it did not seem to be able to kill it. Therefore, the Slothful Beast only relied on its instinct and frantically struggled to get rid of the flames.

However, Flarite, who controlled the Limbo Prison, had already sealed off the prison. Although only the Slothful Beast's large head had entered the prison, it would be unable to break free unless it destroyed the Limbo Prison.

Merlin and the others hoped that the Slothful Beast could destroy the Limbo Prison. The prison was the core of the Flare Region world. If something were to happen to the core, then they would have a chance to leave this sturdy prison!

"Rumble."

The mountains were collapsing, and the sacred land was sinking. It seemed that only the Limbo Prison was left. The Slothful Beast's strength was extremely terrifying. It caused the entire Flare Region world to shake violently.

"How powerful. It might be able to break the Limbo Prison!"

Merlin and the others stared intently at the Slothful Beast. This was their only hope.

"Roar…"

Finally, with another roar from the Slothful Beast, faint cracks gradually appeared on the unbreakable Limbo Prison, and the light blue flame gradually seeped out from those cracks.

"It's working!"

Everyone looked at the crack excitedly. As the core of the Flare Region world, the fact that cracks appeared on the Limbo Prison was proof that it was no longer unbreakable. Faint cracks also appeared in the sky. Ordinary beings would not be able to tell but Setoh could feel the power of the natural order.

"Haha, our plan succeeded. The moment the Slothful Beast breaks the Limbo Prison will be the moment we leave!"

Merlin and Setoh, as well as Flarite were all very excited. This was the final moment. Whether or not the Limbo Prison could be broken and the Flare Region world split open would still rely on the Slothful Beast's final attack.

"Boom."

Finally, the Slothful Beast's violent struggle caused an effect. Although the Limbo Prison was not completely broken, the Slothful Beast was able to withdraw its head. Moreover, extremely large cracks appeared over the sacred land. Even the Slothful Beast's instincts seemed to know that these cracks could keep it away from danger.

Therefore, the Slothful Beast gave a loud roar, and charged toward the huge crack. Merlin, Setoh, Flarite, and the others all glanced at each other and flew toward the crack as quickly as they could.

"Hum hum."

They had barely forced themselves through the crack when it slowly closed again. Looking back, they could see the destroyed Limbo Prison gradually start to recover back to normal.

"That was a close call. We almost didn't manage to leave!"

Flarite, who understood the Flare Region world the most, said with some fear. The Slothful Beast had only temporarily destroyed the Limbo Prison, which allowed a crack to rupture open in the Flare Region world.

This also directly reflected how strong the Slothful Beast was. Perhaps, besides the Thirty-six Emperors, everyone else would be helpless against the Slothful Beast.

It was precisely because of the Slothful Beast's strength that the Limbo Prison could be temporarily broken, and a crack formed in the Flare Region world, allowing Merlin and the others to leave.

After the few had left, the Flare Region world swiftly recovered again, and was restored to that unbreakable prison again.

In the dark Void Zone, Merlin, Setoh, and the others quickly kept away from the huge flames. If the Flare Region dimension sucked them inside again, then they would never be able to leave.

"Phew…"

The few beings breathed sighs of relief, and Merlin said calmly, "We've finally left the Flare Region world. It's just a pity. If we could control the terrifying Limbo Prison, then it would be frightening than any casting tool!"

This Flare Region itself was a prison specially prepared by the Flare Emperor, one of the Thirty-six Emperors for the Vestigial Tribe. Therefore, it was terribly powerful. If they had not found the Limbo Prison, and did not have a powerful force like the Slothful Beast, they would not have been able to escape. If used against an enemy, it would be like shooting fish in a barrel. It would be even more terrifying than the Atlan civilization's dimension-level warships!

"I never want to go back to the Flare Region world. I've watched it for countless years. It's about time I'm free…"

Flarite said with a sigh. Flaroah, Flarmun, and he were all Great Lords. After spending countless years in the Flare Region world, even they would feel exhausted.

Furthermore, as guards, they had never seen anyone from the Vestigial Tribe before, even though the Flare Region world was a prison for the Vestigial Tribe.

"Flarite, can you still control the Flare Region world?"

Merlin hesitated before asking.

"Control? My current amount of control over the Flare Region world is pitiful. After all, I've already left the Flare Region world!"

Flarite shook his head. He could no longer control the Flare Region world, and he never wanted to go back there again.

Merlin felt some regrets. He knew that the Flare Region world would continue to drift until no one could find it. If it erupted like last time and swept everything in it, then those beings would be out of luck.

Without an existence like the Slothful Beast, anyone sucked into the Flare Region world would only face endless imprisonment. No one could escape the Flare Region world.

"By the way, what are your plans? We're too far away from your original world. We haven't even heard of the Thirty-six emperors or the Vestigial Tribe before or even any news regarding the Flare Emperor."

Merlin glanced at Flarite and the others. Those three were comparable to Great Lords and were a powerful force. Flarite, who was a quasi-ultimate existence, could influence a civilization.

Therefore, Merlin also attached great importance to these three beings.

"Yes, it's too far! Things have changed, and we no longer have any place to return to. In the beginning, we were taken in by Sir Flare Emperor, and lost even the name of our own civilization. We've followed Sir Flare Emperor since we were young! Now that there's no news of Sir Flare Emperor, we also don't know where to go."

Flarite looked at the vast Void Zone. He had just been overjoyed that he finally escaped that prison but once he came out, he realized that there was nowhere for him to go.

According to Merlin, a long time had passed since, and countless powerful civilizations had already disappeared. This could be considered to be a completely new world.

For a moment, they were somewhat at a loss.

"Why don't you three join the Spell Casters? We Spell Casters are a welcoming civilization. Civilizations that attach themselves to us also live very well, much less three powerful beings like you! More importantly, our Spell Caster civilization is now facing a powerful enemy called the Atlan civilization. They're very similar to the Vestigial Tribe you faced in the past. As guards of the prison the Flare Emperor left behind, you should know more about the Vestigial Tribe. Therefore, I'd like to ask you to confirm if they're the Vestigial Tribe."

Wizard Setoh stepped forward, and said sincerely.

Both Merlin and Wizard Setoh welcomed Flarite and the others to join the Spell Caster civilization. Furthermore, they understood the Vestigial Tribe very well. They must have had seen many Vestigial Tribe members when following the Flare Emperor. If the Atlans were the Vestigial Tribe or were related to the Vestigial Tribe, then should be able to tell.

If they were the Vestigial Tribe, then it would no longer be the problem of the sole Spell Caster civilization. It would be a disaster for the entire Void Zone!

"Join your Spell Caster civilization? That's fine but we won't be bound by anything. As for the Atlan civilization you mentioned, if they're related to the Vestigial Tribe, then we won't stand idly by. From the start, our mission was to fight the Vestigial Tribe to the end. If there are beings from the Vestigial Tribe, we won't forget our mission!"

Flarite's expression was very solemn. Merlin found it difficult to understand how much hate their era had for the Vestigial Tribe. Even after so many years, he still stuck to his mission.

However, they agreed, which was good news for the Spell Caster civilization.

"Haha, we welcome you three into joining our Spell Caster civilization!"

Merlin and Setoh glanced at each other and could see the joy in each other's eyes. Before they reached the Giant Tribe, three beings comparable to Great Lords had already joined them.

Although the process was rocky, it was extremely worth it!

"Right, what about that Slothful Beast?"

Flarite raised his head and pointed at the distant and huge Slothful Beast.

Chapter 781: The Secret of the Natural Order

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Slothful Beast?"

Merlin and Setoh had almost forgotten. Following Flarite's fingers, the two Wizards saw the Slothful Beast. This time, the Slothful Beast's skin had scorch marks, and there was even an unpleasant smell lingering in the air. It must have been the burns left behind by the Flare Emperor's light blue flames.

If the Flare Emperor came in person, perhaps the Slothful Beast would not have lasted this long.

Fortunately, as soon as the Slothful Beast returned to the Void Zone, it also quieted down. It was originally a monster with a very gentle temperament, and generally only acted by instinct. It had struggled for a very long time in the Flare Region Dimension and was extremely tired, so as soon as it returned to the Void Zone, it fell asleep and remained motionless.

Back then, the Three Great Arcane Wizards laid siege to the Slothful Beast because they wanted to keep it in captivity. The beast was a terrifying creature not inferior to ultimate existences, and was perhaps even more useful.

However, the Three Great Arcane Wizards failed in controlling the Slothful Beast. As a result, the Three Great Arcane Wizards gave up. However, now, Setoh was full of confidence in Merlin.

"Wizard Merlin, you're now the Glorious Lord. The Mind Power system you've created is truly amazing. It might be possible to keep this Slothful Beast in captivity now!"

Wizard Setoh said expectantly.

Keeping a Slothful Beast was something that a regular foreign civilization would not even think of doing. After all, the Slothful Beast would occasionally wake up and devour countless dimensions. Who could stop it?

Furthermore, the Slothful Beast was so powerful that even several ultimate existences could not control it, much less ordinary Wizards. Therefore, it was impossible to keep a Slothful Beast in captivity.

Merlin hesitated for a moment. He was naturally very interested in the Slothful Beast.

"It's still very difficult to keep a Slothful Beast in captivity. After all, I can't control the Slothful Beast now. However, I can use Hallucinating spells to make the Slothful Beast work in unimaginable ways, especially on the battlefield!"

The more Merlin thought about it, the more feasible it was. His Hallucinating spell could confuse the Slothful Beast's weak consciousness. Although it could not be controlled by Merlin, it could be affected. It was precisely this method that had allowed Merlin to lure the Slothful Beast into the Limbo Prison so that they could escape.

As long as they were careful not to be swallowed by the Slothful Beast when it had "woken up", then they could rest easy!

Thinking about this, Merlin's heart raced. He had never thought that Mind Power would have such a role. The uses of a Slothful Beast could be quite terrifying.

"Do we still go to the Giant Tribe now?"

Merlin asked in a low voice. After all, they were still a long way from the Giant Tribe, and he had to be very cautious in using the Hallucinating spell to lure the Slothful Beast along the way.

"Yes, we have to. I didn't have much confidence before but now, with the Slothful Beast, I have more assurance!"

A smile appeared on Setoh's mouth. He believed that with the Slothful Beast, even if it was just for show, it would be enough to shock others. The Giant Tribe would naturally understand that now that the Spell Caster civilization had the Slothful Beast, even if they suffered heavy losses, they would not be destroyed. The possibility that the Giant Tribe would agree was very high.

Merlin also nodded secretly. The Giant Tribe did not compete with the Spell Caster civilization. They were far from each other, and there was even the God Alliance between them. They were generally not concerned about each other at all. Now that the Spell Caster civilization was in peril, the Giant Tribe would have to consider that if the Spell Caster civilization was defeated and there was only the Giant Tribe left, then their situation would be in danger as well.

Therefore, it was necessary to demonstrate the Spell Caster civilization's strength. Without an ultimate existence, they had not much assurance. However, with the Slothful Beast, its significance was no less than an ultimate existence being personally present.

"However, the Slothful Beast is too huge a target. It'll be easy to catch the attention of the God Alliance!"

Setoh's worry was not too large. Both Merlin and Setoh were comparable to Great Lords. Therefore, as long as it was not the powerful upper rank gods or a Lord God, then there would not be any danger.

"Will you three be coming with us?"

"Of course. We want to follow you and see how much has changed in the Void Zone."

Flarite and the others also wanted to follow them to the Giant Tribe, and Merlin and Setoh naturally welcomed them.

"Alright, we'll fly on the Slothful Beast's back."

Merlin and the others swiftly flew to the Slothful Beast's back. Since the Slothful Beast was so large, its back was naturally extremely wide. As they stood on its back, they looked small and significant. They would go completely unnoticed unless someone observed carefully.

"Alright, let's go!"

Merlin started using the Hallucinating spell to slowly awaken the Slothful Beast, and its huge body began to move. Although the Slothful Beast's body seemed to be moving slowly, that was because its body was too large. In reality, the Slothful Beast's speed was no slower than an Atlan civilization empire-level warship.

Flarite and the others, who had left the Flare Region world for the first time, seemed to be full of curiosity about everything around them. They looked at the cold and dark Void Zone around them, feeling deeply moved.

Wizard Setoh suddenly said to Flarite, "Flarite, your strength should've reached the point where you can sense the natural order, right? Can you sense the natural order?"

"Sense the natural order?"

Flarite thought for a long moment before nodding solemnly. "Yes, I can sense the natural order."

Merlin was also slightly surprised. He knew that Flarite was extraordinary and was comparable to Great Lords with five ultimate Maxims. An existence like that should be classified as a quasi-ultimate existence.

If he could sense the natural order, then he had the chance to become an ultimate existence!

Merlin and some other Lords could not sense the natural order. They would only be able to sense it when their strength had hit a certain critical point. At that time, there would only be two choices – the first was to fuse with the natural order. If they succeeded, they would become ultimate existences and possess terrifying power.

The other choice was to ignore natural order and not fuse with it. If they could continue increasing their strength regardless, then they would become a Greatest Lord! Unless an ultimate existence interfered, a Greatest Lord would be able to completely reverse a huge civilization war.

"So, will you choose to integrate with the natural order? If you choose to, I can explain some of my understanding of the natural order to you."

As an ultimate existence, Wizard Setoh naturally had some insights about merging with the natural order. This was a very valuable experience, and it was also directly enticing Flarite.

After a long moment, Flarite shook his head. "How difficult will it be to integrate with the natural order? Everyone who had integrated with the natural order only managed to do so after various chances, experiencing hardships, and finally getting a stroke of luck. I'm not sure if I can succeed yet. When I was still with Sir Flare Emperor, I heard some matters about integrating with the natural order. It's extremely dangerous. I won't easily choose to integrate with the natural order until I'm absolutely confident."

Flarite did not want to merge with the natural order now because he had a deep understanding of the natural order. It seemed that the Flare Emperor treated Flarite and the others well to tell them such a secret.

Merlin, on the other hand, was confused. He looked at Setoh with some doubts.

Setoh only smiled and said without concealing anything, "Wizard Merlin, you're a Lord now. If one day, you've reached the point where you can integrate with the natural order, then you have to be careful. Integrating with the natural order isn't dangerous because you'll die. You might not suffer any harm at all. However, the only regret is that you'll never be able to integrate with the natural order ever again!

"You can imagine the natural order to be a living creature. It can give any being a chance to integrate with it, but if you fail, then it'll remember you. In the future, you'll no longer be able to sense the natural order. Therefore, those who can sense the natural order will not rashly choose to integrate with the natural order, since they're only given one chance."

Merlin nodded thoughtfully. No one would reveal a secret like that until his strength had reached a certain level. This was one of the benefits of belonging to a powerful civilization.

At the very least, there were ultimate existences in powerful civilizations who could tell him secrets like these. In weak civilizations like the Golden Light Tribe, even if Maya were able to sense the natural order in the future, if he did not know these secrets and recklessly chose to integrate with the natural order, once he failed, he would not have a second chance.

Flarite also nodded approvingly and said, "Indeed, there's only one chance. Therefore, I can't rashly choose to integrate with the natural order. I need to have some assurance before I choose to do so. However, it's still very difficult. Those who can sense the natural order are all prodigies among prodigies. They're at least top beings in their civilizations. However, only a few of them can truly succeed."

Setoh smiled. He knew very well that the Spell Caster civilization was extremely lucky to have been able to come this far. Since the birth of the Spell Casters until the present, there were only three Wizards in the Spell Caster civilization who could truly reach the realm of being able to sense the natural order. Those were the current Three Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

They were extremely lucky to have integrated with the natural order, and successfully became Ultimate Arcane Wizards!

Now, the closest one to sense the natural order was the Fowell Lord from Augustus Arcane City. He had already tried to form his fifth ultimate Maxim, but he still encountered many difficulties and was unable to succeed thus far.

"Wizard Merlin, you should also remember this for the future. If you're not certain, then don't choose to integrate with the natural order!"

Wizard Setoh also solemnly warned.

Merlin smiled but disagreed in his heart. After seeing Aruba, Merlin already knew that integrating with the natural order and becoming an ultimate existence was not the best choice.

Perhaps he would never choose to integrate with the natural order!

Chapter 782: The Giant Tribe

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was still a long distance away from the Giant Tribe. Even if they had the Slothful Beast, they would not arrive overnight.

Flarite and the two others were still in high spirits, and continuously asked about all the changes that had happened in the Void Zone over the years, especially the birth of the Spell Caster civilization and so on.

Wizard Setoh carefully explained it to Flarite and the others while Merlin sat at the side. He extended his Mind Power into the illusion bead, and discussed the Mind Power system with Titus.

Titus did not manage to create a way to turn void into something real by using Mind Power. According to him, there was no fixed way to do so. It could only be done through coincidence.

Perhaps no one could change nothingness into reality. A realm like that was too far and was not realistic at all. It was more feasible to perfect the Illusory World.

"Merlin, do you think your Spell Caster system can still be improved?"

Titus stared at Merlin and asked calmly. Unlike before, there was no need to ask Merlin to focus his energy on the Mind Power system now. It was just a simple question.

Merlin closed his eyes. He was now a Lord with two ultimate Maxims – a Darkness Maxim and a Flame Maxim. He was considering far more comprehensively than before.

Although he was a Six-Elemental Spell Caster, besides Darkness and Fire, he did not have a deep understanding of Earth, Wind, Ice, and Thunder-types. It was difficult to say if he could form a regular Maxim, let alone an ultimate Maxim.

Perhaps, after thousands or tens of thousands of years, he would be able to condense a few more Maxims but compared to other Spell Casters, his advantage was not that large.

It could be seen that for a foreseeable short period, he had already reached his peak in the Spell Caster system. It would be extremely challenging to go further than he was now!

Therefore, as Titus said, it was time for him to focus his energy on the Mind Power system. In a sense, Merlin was already ahead in his Mind Power system compared to his Spell Caster system.

Although it was only the realm of the Illusory Heart, Merlin did not need to expend any effort to form a new Illusory World. For that, Merlin had no assurance at all.

However, Merlin had the Illusory World that Titus had formed. This was the most important thing that Merlin had relied on. In the future, when the right opportunity came, and his Illusory Heart improved and stabilized, he could even try to merge the Illusory World according to what Titus had said.

Once the fusion was successful, Merlin could naturally step into the Illusory World. This was not difficult for Merlin.

The challenge here was how would he perfect the Illusory World? Even Titus was unable to succeed in reaching the realm of an Illusory World because it had never been perfected.

"I'll think about it!"

Merlin only said flippantly but Titus laughed. He did not need to earnestly persuade Merlin anymore because Merlin already realized his true advantage.

For the following time, Merlin would focus on his Mind Power. His Illusory Heart realm was stable, and he could clearly feel the other party's emotions.

Currently, Merlin could also feel the emotions of Wizard Setoh, Flarite, and the others. However, it was impossible for him to directly control their emotions to control their minds.

This had nothing to do with Mind Power but instead, had to do with the realm. Merlin had not yet reached the point of being able to pressure and control the other party. According to Titus' speculation, Merlin could only hope to control Lords after he had fused his Illusory World.

If he wanted to control powerful Lords, or even affect ultimate existences, he had to at least perfect the Illusory World and achieve great success there.

Such a realm was still too far from the present Merlin.

"Titus, when can I try to merge the Illusory World?"

This was Merlin's biggest concern now.

Titus remained silent for a moment before saying, "When you feel that your mind can accommodate the endless world with no problem regardless of how vast and boundless it is, you'll be able to merge the Illusory World!"

"Accommodate the endless world…"

Merlin lowered his head, and carefully digested Titus' words.

…

The quiet Void Zone was originally an empty area. Sometimes, one would not encounter a single dimension even after several months. However, now, the dimensions in the surroundings seemed to be somewhat densely packed.

"We should have reached the Giant Tribe!"

Setoh opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding dimensions, finding them familiar.

Wizard Setoh had also never been to a Giant Tribe's dimension. However, according to the information on the dimension map, this place should belong to the sphere of influence of the Giant Tribe.

The Giant Tribe could not be compared to the Spell Caster civilization, and were an old civilization with powerful forces. They had one ultimate existence that was called the Titan Giant!

Merlin also woke up. His Mind Power had greatly improved, and he did not need to painstakingly upgrade it. After raising to the Illusory Heart realm, as long as his mind was powerful enough, his Mind Power would increase quickly as well to the point of being somewhat outrageous.

Now, his huge Mind Power had increased by almost three times, and could be said to be terrifying. His vast Mind Power directly extended and saw the nearest dimension.

"It's indeed the Giant Tribe. There're living Giants in these dimensions!"

As soon as Merlin finished speaking, loud growls started sounding from the distance. Then, three huge Giants suddenly flew out from the dimension. They stared at the Slothful Beast from a distance but did not approach it.

It seemed that these Giants knew how powerful the Slothful Beast was and were not willing to come closer, merely watching from a distance. After all, the huge Slothful Beast was rarely seen, and was very rare in the Void Zone. It was best not to annoy the Slothful Beast, otherwise, the Slothful Beast would not simply swallow dozens of dimensions and be done with it.

Of course, those Giants had not discovered Merlin and the others yet. Who would have expected beings to be on the Slothful Beast's back?

Merlin and the others did not take the initiative to leave either. Right now, they were just outside the scope of the Giant Tribe's strength. The place they wanted to go to was the Titan Dimension where the Titan Giant was located. That was the core area of the Giant Tribe.

This was an extremely important matter for the Spell Casters, and Setoh and Merlin did not want to cause any trouble. The fewer Giants who knew about their arrival, the better.

Therefore, Merlin used the Hallucinating spell to drive the Slothful Beast toward the Titan Dimension.

Unlike the empty Void Zone, now that the Slothful Beast had arrived at the Giant Tribe's sphere of influence, the dimensions were also obviously more concentrated. Therefore, the Slothful Beast's huge body attracted the attention of many Giants.

The most common ones were the Giant Kings. The terrifying Giant Kings were quite tall in the eyes of an ordinary person but before the Slothful Beast, they were no different from small grains of sand. At best, they were just larger grains of sand.

Giant Kings were equivalent to ordinary Legends of Spell Casters. So far, they had not seen a single middle rank Giant King, which was equivalent to the Spell Casters' Honored Legend.

Although the Slothful Beast had attracted the Giant Tribe's attention, it was not stopped by any Giant. That was because everyone knew that even if they tried, they would not be able to stop this terrifying Slothful Beast.

As they proceeded deeper, a middle rank Giant King finally arrived from one of the dimensions. Merlin and the others' figures could be hidden no longer.

The middle rank Giant King had discovered Merlin and the others on the Slothful Beast's back. He hesitated for a moment before swiftly flying toward them.

"Boom."

The middle rank Giant King was much larger than a lower rank Giant King. It was also quite shocking when it landed on the Slothful Beast's back.

"Who are you?"

The middle rank Giant King's eyes were sharp, and his body emitted a fierce and huge aura as he asked in a low voice.
