Chapter 235: Resolution 5

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Delman clan, Spell Casters were bustling about in a frenzy, constantly coming in and going out. Fortunately, the Delman clan's territory was large enough with many spaces set aside so that the Spell Casters who were recalled had a place to stay.

On usual days, the Delman clan did not appear to have many members, but after Wizard Matthew sent out the order to recall all members, this crowd of people appeared all at once.

"Merlin, wait for a moment in this room. I'll go and find out what actually happened."

Elena frowned in a vexed manner. One could see that she was feeling rather anxious as she did not know what had happened in her clan.

Merlin nodded and replied, "Wizard Elena, as you wish."

Following that, Elena left the room to find out what had happened in her clan, whereas Merlin quietly observed his Mind Power, which was currently at the level of a Third-level Spell Caster.

Moreover, the six Spell Models in his Awareness, under the control of his tremendous Mind Power, had not made any error. At every moment, various Elements in the air were absorbed and transformed into Magic Power to be stored inside the Spell Models.

Even during such an idle period, Merlin did not break off his cultivation but instead began meditating. Although this was a busy time, he would cultivate the advanced Mind Meditation Spell at every opportunity he had. By doing this, he would increase his incredible Mind Power as always, but compared to the amount of Mind Power Merlin needed, such a small increase seemed to be negligible.

However, the advanced Mind Meditation Spell still served its purpose for Merlin. Perhaps once his Mind Power broke through the barrier of the Third-level and reached the stage of the Fourth-level, the advanced Mind Meditation Spell would no longer be of much use to Merlin.

"Merlin, I have news about Riesen!"

Just as Merlin was cultivating the advanced Mind Meditation Spell, Elena suddenly barged into the room with a gleeful expression.

"Hmm? You've found Riesen?"

Merlin opened his eyes and the force surrounding his body, which had been calm, became sinister and terrifying in a flash, causing Elena's delighted smile to freeze on her face.

This was because Merlin had cultivated Darkness Heart, and the force he involuntarily emitted was filled with a strong, imposing Darkness. Merlin quickly became aware of this and immediately retracted the force around his body. With that, Elena recovered and said in a low voice, "At first, I went to inquire why the clan had recalled all its members, and unexpectedly, I also learned of some information about Riesen.

"It turned out that Riesen was still hiding in Floating City. He's an associate member of Ozmu, and he sure knows how to hide well! However, his true identity was no big secret to the Delman clan and a few other Spell Caster clans."

Merlin's eyes sharpened, and he asked hoarsely, "So where's Riesen now?"

Elena could clearly sense Merlin's murderous intent toward Wizard Riesen, but she still softly advised him, "Wizard Merlin, it might be troublesome if you're planning to kill Riesen. He's currently by the side of Wizard Weiss, a gifted, Third-level Spell Caster from Ozmu."

"Weiss?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes, his face full of inquiry.

"Wizard Weiss is a Third-level Spell Caster from Ozmu who came from a medium-sized spell casters' organization in Thule. He defected to Ozmu, and his powers must've increased many times throughout his days of training in Ozmu. Now, he's acting under Ozmu's orders, and has come to Floating City for the Wright clan's Wizard Shane."

Merlin grasped the situation immediately. Wizard Shane had displayed an incredible talent, and Ozmu's modus operandi had always been to target gifted Spell Casters like him. Ozmu had always dared to steal the talents of large spell casters' organizations. Hence, it was of no surprise that they came for the Wright clan.

However, Merlin was not concerned about Ozmu. Whoever they were planning to steal was none of Merlin's business. He cared only about Riesen.

"Where's Weiss and Riesen then?"

Merlin asked with a deep searching look.

Elena hesitated for a moment but finally answered, "Weiss will head straight to the Wright clan tomorrow. Being Ozmu's associate member, Riesen will be sure to follow."

"The Wright clan!"

Merlin lowered his head and mumbled to himself, before drawing in a deep breath. "Fine, tomorrow we'll go to the Wright clan earlier and wait for Riesen to arrive!"

Elena opened her mouth and it seemed like she was about to say something. In the end, she said nothing, and quietly left the room.

...

At dawn the next morning, before the fog in Floating City had even dispersed, the Wright clan came alive with noise and movement. Spell Casters constantly gathered in a group and fixed their gazes on the doorway.

The strongest of the Wright clan, the Fourth-level Spell Caster Wizard Moyi, was staring sternly at the doorway shrouded in thick fog. Beside Wizard Moyi, there were many other Spell Casters – these were the Third-level Spell Casters of the Wright clan.

With the strongest gathered here since early morning, looking embattled, it seemed that they had heard the news about Weiss, and dared not let down their guard at all.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, two blurry silhouettes slowly appeared in the fog. A gentle gust of wind broke up the fog, and a Spell Caster was yelling, "It's Weiss, they were right. Ozmu had really sent Weiss!"

The fog dispersed, and Weiss led Riesen to the doorway of the Wright clan. Seeing that the entrance was crammed full of Spell Casters, Wizard Weiss showed no sign of fear, but instead called out loudly, "Moyi, release Shane right this instance. He's already a half-member of Ozmu. So, if you don't release him, I'm afraid that the Wright clan will vanish completely today..."

"Wizard Weiss, are you that confident?"

Wizard Moyi, who was sitting on a chair, got up leisurely. Although his face was aged, his eyes burned with a bright spirit.

"Kill!"

Wizard Moyi's faced changed suddenly and he roared hoarsely. Instantly, the crowd of Spell Casters hiding in the mist cast their respective spells with a cry. The wild torrent of spells flew toward Wizard Weiss in a flash.

As Wizard Riesen looked at the sky of spells, his face dropped immediately, and stepped back instinctively. Perhaps on their own, the spells were nothing much, but altogether they formed a terrifying attack. Not even a Fourth-level Spell Caster could be sure of withstanding this. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢

However, Wizard Weiss' expression did not shift. He looked up at the barrage of spells filling his vision, and a disdainful, mocking smirk tugged at his lips.

"Gale, rise!"

Wizard Weiss muttered softly, and suddenly a wild wind twisted itself into a giant vortex that began to sweep out horizontally.

The tremendous power of Gale completely swept away the barrage of spells, crushing them into dust.

Even Wizard Moyi was dumbfounded. His eyes burst wide open as he stared at Gale, stunned to his core. He knew that this was not the power of a Third-level spell or any spell for that matter.

"Pandora Demon Ability!"

Wizard Moyi mumbled in a low voice.

"So, it's a Pandora Demon Ability. It's been said that Wizard Weiss had betrayed his organization and defected to Ozmu because the latter had offered a Pandora Demon Ability that very much suited him. Could it have been this Wind-type Pandora Demon Ability?"

A few powerful Spell Casters were still hiding under the dense cover of the fog. Their Mind Power was able to easily discern everything that had happened in the fog.

These Spell Casters were Third-level Spell Casters at the very least, and were evidently Wizards from the Spell Caster clans of Floating City. They had come across descriptions of Pandora Demon Ability before, and the spell that Weiss had just unleashed was different from Wind-type spells, for it had unbelievable power. It was far beyond the limit of Third-level spells to be able to smash the barrage of spells that had covered the sky into smithereens.

Only Pandora Demon Ability could accomplish this. It was not surprising that Wizard Weiss was so confident, completely unafraid of the entire Wright clan. It was true that once his Wind-type Pandora Demon Ability was cast, the number of opponent Spell Casters was irrelevant in the face of its marvelous power.

"It seems like Wizard Moyi is in danger this time around, and the Wright clan would find it hard to escape. Ozmu's might is indeed terrifying and great. Even a Third-level Spell Caster whom they've sent out has mastered the powerful and mysterious Pandora Demon Ability!"

After witnessing Wizard Weiss casting his Pandora Demon Ability, the Third-level Spell Casters of the different clans felt a lingering fear in their hearts. If they had really decided to assist the Wright clan, their clans would have been caught up in this dangerous situation too.

Even the Fourth-level Spell Casters, especially the ones like them who came from Spell Caster clans, would not be sure of a victory over Weiss, who possessed Pandora Demon Ability.

Weiss' possession of Pandora Demon Ability was the greatest shock, not to others, but to Riesen who was behind him.

Riesen had suffered and toiled to finally obtain one Pandora Demon Ability, and he was not even able to cultivate it for now. Conversely, when Weiss had defected to Ozmu, his prerequisite was that he would acquire Pandora Demon Ability.

Now that Weiss had already cultivated Pandora Demon Ability successfully, his strength was far greater than the average Fourth-level Spell Caster. This was the true basis for his confidence. Weiss truly had the right to look down upon the Wright clan.

"Die, you old thing!"

A wild expression shone in Wizard Weiss' eyes, and violent fluctuations of Wind Elements rose around him. Suddenly, a raging gust of tornado emerged. Its power was even stronger than the one before, making the heart of Wizard Moyi, a Fourth-level Spell Caster, race furiously.

Wizard Moyi understood that he was unable to withstand Weiss' Pandora Demon Ability. It was not really an exaggeration to say that the prodigies of Ozmu were able to transcend their ranks and vanquish powerful Spell Casters. Wizard Moyi was currently about to become one such stepping stone for Weiss.

Furthermore, this battle would be a time for Weiss to truly shine!

"Kleis, I'll show the higher-ups of Ozmu that it was a foolish decision to choose you!"

Wizard Weiss' face twisted slightly and turned sinister. It appeared that he was only determined to make such a big show of destroying the Wright clan because he was dissatisfied with the higher-ups of Ozmu.

Moreover, the so-called "gifted Spell Caster Shane" was no longer a significant factor in Wizard Weiss' mind.

Chapter 236: Resolution 6

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Matthew, how can your Delman clan remain so unconcerned? If I'm not mistaken, your clan and the Wright clan had a close personal relationship. How can you have the heart to watch the Wright clan be completely destroyed?"

A Spell Caster said in the thick fog. He wore a black robe; his hair was thin and almost bald.

Wizard Matthew and a few other Third-level Spell Casters from the Delman clan had arrived. After all, the future progression of Floating City would be greatly impacted by the existence and survival of the Wright clan.

Moreover, Ozmu was very threatening. Although they were not evenly matched, it was clear that their strength was extremely formidable.

Wizard Matthew looked at the bald-headed man and drifted his gaze back at the Wright clan, his eyes filled with uneasiness. He said sullenly, "It seems that the Wright clan doesn't want to leave Shane. If you leave him, you would have unbeatable strength. Do you all not know the strength of Ozmu?"

Wizard Matthew glared at the Spell Casters surrounding him, each of them bowed their heads in disgrace.

After a long pause, the bald-headed Wizard fiercely raised his head as he sneered with a sharp voice. "Hehe, you don't think we know the strength of Ozmu? Their entire fleet is composed of countless madmen, but each of them is truly gifted. No Spell Caster would willingly enter Ozmu only to have their power destroyed."

This was one of the strange rituals of Ozmu. Every single Spell Caster in Ozmu behaved strangely and had radical views, and they also conformed to a very peculiar ritual. All the Spell Casters who cultivated in Ozmu would return only to destroy their own power.

It was because of this strange group of madmen and rituals that brought Ozmu so many hateful enemies and resistance against themselves.

Neither Spell Caster clans nor spell casters' organizations would want their own prodigies to betray them and turn to Ozmu, only to end up destroying themselves one day.

The Wright clan wanted to leave Shane, but they were still slightly reluctant to give him up and this led to a disaster. Shane was already bewitched by Ozmu and had begged to join them.

All this led to the scene now where Ozmu sent Weiss forward to take Shane by force.

"Die! Die! Die!"

Wizard Weiss behaved like a madman and howled. The frenzied wind beside him grew stronger and more formidable as it strangled Wizard Moyi.

Wizard Weiss heaved a sigh. He had been in Ozmu for many years but was still not promoted to a Fourth-level Spell Caster. In fact, he became a worthless Spell Caster in Ozmu.

However, Wizard Weiss' situation had become even more difficult since Kleis arrived from the Dark Magic Region and took refuge in Ozmu. It was more often than not that he would only carry out unchallenging, simple tasks. Of course, there were little rewards for his pitiful missions.

"Without Kleis, my life wouldn't be as bad. He has ruined my life! Kill! I want to kill all these people and show the superiors of Ozmu that I, Weiss, am the prodigy of Ozmu!"

Wizard Weiss' expression became particularly savage. His rage was caused by all his jealousy and injustice.

This Wind-type Pandora Demon Ability was the same one Ozmu had used to bewitch Wizard Weiss to join Ozmu. In the end, he was able to successfully cultivate the Pandora Demon Ability, but he was never able to break through the threshold and become a Fourth-level Spell Caster.

Not every prodigy can go on to become a powerful Spell Caster. Many of them were stuck as Third-level Spell Casters and could not progress any further, forever restricted.

Weiss' Wind-type Pandora Demon Ability was terrifying. It howled as it strangled and destroyed anything in its path. It exposed its demonic strength within the Pandora Demon Ability.

"Wright!"

Wizard Matthew looked among the many Spell Caster of the Wright clan and saw a burly Spell Caster. It was the clan elder, Wright, who was also a close friend of Wizard Matthew.

However, Wright was about to die, and Matthew did not dare to interfere. If he did, the hot-headed Weiss may turn his anger on the Delman clan.

Weiss had his back on the mighty Ozmu. It could easily withstand the formidable power of many large-scale spell casters' organizations and hence, there was no way to destroy it.

Albeit it was just Weiss on his own, there would not be much the Delman clan could do. The formidable power from the Pandora Demon Ability made even Wizard Matthew, who was a Third-level Spell Caster, lose all hope.

"Resist! We must resist!"

Wizard Matthew clenched his fists for dear life. He watched as the fierce wind got closer and closer to Wizard Wright. If it engulfed him, all hope would be lost, and no one could save him.

Wizard Matthew was not the only one who was anxious. The other Spell Casters from the large-scale Spell Caster clans of Floating City watched as the advanced Wright clan was now almost destroyed. The Spell Casters from the other Spell Caster clans felt sorry for the Wright clan and thought that perhaps they could establish a new one in the near future.

"Haha, die! All of you, die!"

Wizard Weiss cast the Pandora Demon Ability to his heart's content as his eyes gleamed a red glow. It was a terrifying sight indeed. 𝒍𝓲𝓫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝙤𝒎

"Hmph, people of Ozmu, you're getting too arrogant!"

Suddenly, a cold tut was heard, and at the same time, the sky began to condense into snow in a sudden attack.

"Ka-chak! Ka-chak!"

The ground quickly froze into a layer of ice crystals and eventually froze the fierce wind in mid-air.

"A Fourth-level spell?"

Wizard Weiss furrowed his eyebrows and he smirked. "Hmph, who dares stop Ozmu? Whoever dares to stop me will die!"

Wizard Weiss raised his finger and a stream of green light shone out from his body. The whirlwind that had been frozen into ice crystals was enraged once more as it broke through the ice crystals.

"Crash!"

Thousands of ice crystals were smashed. In the fog, a figure was faintly revealed. Many Spell Casters used their Mind Power to inspect it and were immediately surprised.

"It's Wizard Busson from Sterling House. There's no way Sterling House would allow the people of Ozmu to make such a great attack on Floating City."

"Wizard Busson, quickly save the Wright clan. Floating City is one of the strongholds of Sterling House. The people of Ozmu have made such a crazy move, who would dare come to Floating city after this?"

"Yes, but the Great Wizard Sterling only sent reinforcements, could it be that he's also afraid of Ozmu?"

The many Spell Casters of Floating City became livelier as they realized that the figure in the fog was indeed Wizard Busson.

After all, it was Sterling House which made up most of the forces in Floating City. Although they did not participate in many battles, it was impossible to ignore the forces of Sterling House.

Sterling House would forever be a force to be reckoned with as long as the Great Wizard Sterling was around.

Wizard Busson had just suffered a loss. He was a peak Fourth-level Spell Caster with incredible Magic Power. The spells he constructed were much stronger than the Spell Casters of the Spell Caster clans. Therefore, it was possible for him to freeze the Pandora Demon Ability of Weiss in one fell swoop.

However, Weiss was a prodigy and he was also the prodigy of a medium-sized Spell Caster clan. He had spent many years cultivating the Pandora Demon Ability, so it would be very powerful.

Thus, the slightest addition of power allowed him to break through Wizard Busson's spell which made Wizard Busson very anxious. Perhaps Wizard Busson was desperate, and Weiss was willing to fight to his death. That was why he was able to resist Wizard Weiss' Pandora Demon Ability, but that would be in desperation. Wizard Busson did not want to fight mercilessly against Weiss.

So, Wizard Busson said positively, "Wizard Weiss, Floating City has already declared, and Sterling House still exists. We don't care if you take Wizard Shane. However, you have a strong desire to kill and I'm afraid that makes you an enemy of Sterling House."

Wizard Busson knew how powerful Ozmu was, but he also knew that Ozmu was now surrounded by all the powerful Spell Casters. Both sides had been fighting and Ozmu could easily play to their advantage, but it would be too much. The last time the spell casters' organizations of the Dark Magic Region and Floating City joined forces and blocked Ozmu's upper hand, it did not end smoothly.

Hence, Wizard Busson believed that even a fool could weigh the gains and losses of the battle. If Ozmu attacked Sterling House, the situation could become even worse.

However, Wizard Busson had ignored an important point. The people of Ozmu did not use common sense!

"Haha, so what's with Sterling House? They let a Fourth-level Spell Caster like you represent them? Go to hell!"

The Wind Element around Wizard Weiss' body began to fluctuate vigorously as it rushed to engulf Wizard Busson. It appeared that Weiss had intended to kill Wizard Busson.

"Maniac! The people of Ozmu are all crazy!"

Wizard Busson's expression changed drastically. He could sense the formidable force of Weiss' Pandora Demon Ability. He was not ready to fight Weiss to his death so he just shook his head slightly. His figure rapidly retreated and disappeared into the fog.

The Spell Casters of the Wright clan looked miserable. If even Sterling House was not ready to fight against Ozmu, then who could stop the madman Weiss?

Chapter 237: Resolution 7

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Elena breathed heavily in the thick fog. She and Merlin had been among the Wright clan from the start, hiding in a secret spot.

When Weiss arrived, they realized that although he was alone and a mere Third-level Spell Caster, Fourth-level Spell Casters were easily beaten by him.

Elena was shocked. She had finally realized the strength of Ozmu!

"Let's go, the Wright clan are already doomed. We have to deal with the issue between Wizard Riesen and me!"

Elena was still distracted when she heard this. She turned her head and stared at Merlin with astonishment.

"Wizard Merlin, although I don't know about the grudge between you and Riesen, with a maniac like Weiss, could it be..."

"It's already been accounted for!"

Before she could finish speaking, Merlin had interrupted her. He kept himself composed, stood up, and walked on.

"Dark Light Realm."

Immediately, a fog began to appear beside Merlin. It turned black as the light around distorted into complete darkness and the fog scattered rapidly into its surroundings.

...

"Ka-chak!"

The Fourth-level Defensive spell that Wizard Moyi cast was instantly destroyed by Weiss' Pandora Demon Ability. It was smashed into a million pieces and scattered all around.

Wizard Moyi's face began to flush and his body trembled as the fierce whirlwind finally engulfed him.

"Wizard Moyi!"

The survivors of the Wright clan watched as the figure of Wizard Moyi vanished into the horrifying whirlwind. Their faces filled with sorrow.

"Die, Moyi, die! The Wright clan is completely doomed!"

The Spell Casters who watched the battle between the Wright clan and Weiss were stunned. It would be useless for them to fight against the powerful Ozmu.

"Let's go. The Wright clan are already doomed. It's best to not interfere and be remembered by the maniac Weiss. We should leave instead."

The other Spell Casters watched Wizard Moyi die and prepared to flee the scene. Who knew what the maniac Weiss would do next? He already dared to fight against Wizard Busson of Sterling House, what would he do to the other Spell Casters?

"Riesen, go in and get Shane! Hehe, he already knows the ritual and today I could lend him a hand. He won't have to make a trip in vain for I'll simply destroy the Wright clan now!"

Wizard Weiss laughed coldly as he turned his head to look at Riesen. His eyes were filled with madness and Riesen could not help but shudder. He knew that the official members of Ozmu were powerful, and if he really cultivated Fiery Collapse, it was still difficult to tell whether it could beat Weiss.

Riesen was already frightened by Weiss, and he heard his demands, so Riesen immediately walked forward.

"Whoosh..."

At that moment, the once white fog now had a trace of darkness in it. The darkness spread rapidly and in the blink of an eye, it became a black veil. 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝘳𝑒𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝑜𝑚

"What's happening?"

The Spell Casters who were just about to leave saw the strange darkness. Wherever they went, the light would distort and turn into darkness.

"The Darkness-type First-level spell, Dark Light Realm? Is it someone from Abyss Fort?"

Wizard Weiss squinted slightly. He was a Spell Caster from Ozmu and instantly recognized that as the light turned into darkness, it might be the Darkness-type First-level spell, Dark Light Realm.

Abyss Fort is the only one to truly master Darkness-type spells!

Everyone felt the eeriness of the darkness and wanted to escape it. However, it spread too quickly. In the blink of an eye, everyone was enveloped within it.

The many powerful Spell Casters were enveloped in the darkness and they were afraid for they did not wish to be trapped in an unceasing illusion.

Nearly all the Spell Casters had fallen into an illusion. They treaded along like zombies and looked dull. They might as well have been killed as they might never be able to free themselves from the illusion.

"Boom!"

However, among the crowd were several dramatic fluctuations of Mind Power. These fluctuations could have been from Mind Powers of the Fourth-level or higher.

Merlin did a mental calculation and realized it could have been from Spell Casters with Fourth or Fifth-level Mind Power. He had cast a common Dark Light Realm and did not enhance it. However, it was increased by his Darkness Heart and therefore Third-level Spell Casters would fall into the illusion.

The Fourth-level Spell Casters would indeed have Fourth-level Mind Power and so they did not fall into the illusion as easily.

"Who is it? Which Wizard is it from Abyss Fort?"

In the darkness, an enormous amount of Mind Power gathered around a figure.

"Merlin of the Dark Magic Region!"

The figure in the darkness was conspicuous as only a few people in the darkness were still conscious.

"Turns out it's a Spell Caster from the Dark Magic Region. Merlin? How have I never heard this name?"

"This is the First-level spell, Dark Light Realm. Such incredible power and unbelievable strength – the Spell Caster must be very skilled in Darkness-type spells. It could only be Wizard Leo!"

"Hehe, you're all wrong. There's a Spell Caster in the Dark Magic Region who is even more gifted than Wizard Kleis. Wizard Merlin, the Six-Elemental Spell Caster, I never would have thought that you would come to Floating City!"

Finally, a Fourth-level Spell Caster recognized Merlin. These Fourth-level Spell Casters were few of the most powerful Wizards in the Spell Caster clans in Floating City. They had all been hiding among the crowd, and if Merlin had not cast Dark Light Realm, they would not have been discovered.

"The Dark Magic Region! It's always the Dark Magic Region! Go to hell. Kleis was from the Dark Magic Region and anyone who comes from there should die!"

Suddenly, another Spell Caster who was not affected by Dark Light Realm growled deeply and it turned out to be Wizard Weiss. Although he was a Third-level Spell Caster, his Mind Power had reached the Fourth-level and so he was not affected by Dark Light Realm.

Wizard Weiss growled and with his incredible Mind Power, he destroyed Merlin's Dark Light Realm.

Immediately, a glimmer of light appeared and spread out rapidly, finally dispelling the darkness. Merlin's Dark Light Realm had been completely destroyed by Weiss.

"What happened?"

"It was like I was enveloped in the black veil. "

"Hey, who's that? Why is Weiss glaring at him? Is it a Spell Caster from the Wright clan?"

...

The Third-level Spell Casters who were shrouded by Dark Light Realm did not have a clue as to what had happened as they entered the illusions.

Therefore, as they saw the "stranger" Merlin and the maniac Weiss go head to head, they were immediately shocked.

However, among the crowd was one who saw Merlin and looked very uneasy.

"Merlin, how did you survive and escape the ancient monument?"

Wizard Riesen's face expressed a disbelieving look. He even saw it with his own eyes. He had trapped Merlin in the ancient monument and the stone doors were already very difficult for a Fourth-level Spell Caster to break down. Even with Merlin's Pandora Demon Ability, it would have been impossible for him to leave the ancient monument.

However, it was clear that Merlin had, in fact, lived to escape the ancient monument. His gaze met Merlin's cold stare and Riesen could not help but shudder slightly as he felt powerless.

The Darkness-type spell which was cast earlier could have been cast by Merlin. His spells had become very powerful, not to mention Merlin possessed Pandora Demon Ability. Riesen knew he did not want to be an enemy to Merlin.

"Riesen, you must pay for your actions!"

Merlin did look at anyone else as he just glared at Riesen.

"Sir Wizard Weiss!"

Riesen retreated a couple of steps and hid silently behind Weiss.

Merlin furrowed his eyebrows. Weiss was a very troublesome character, just as all the people of Ozmu were.

"I only want to kill Riesen. I don't care for Ozmu or the likes of the Wright clan!"

Merlin continued to advance toward Riesen.

"Ice Seal!"

A cold breeze advanced toward Merlin and the ground began to freeze rapidly with ice crystals as it tried to restrict Merlin.

This was a Third-level Ice-type spell and Weiss had acted impulsively.

"Guardian Monument!"

Merlin immediately cast Guardian Monument a couple of times. He used the Enhancing casting tool to strengthen his Guardian Monument. Its strength was easily comparable to that of a Third-level Defensive Spell.

Therefore, Weiss' Third-level spell was easily stopped and could not get to Merlin.

"I hate Spell Casters from the Dark Magic Region! You and Kleis are both the same. You both come from the Dark Magic Region!"

Wizard Weiss lifted his finger and the fierce whirlwind took form again. It howled as it advanced toward Merlin. The sound was terrifying – it was no different from when it killed the Fourth-level Spell Casters before.

"I'm not interested to indulge in an entanglement with a madman. Pandora Demon Ability, Fiery Collapse!"

Fierce Fire Element began to fluctuate around Merlin's body. Traces of white flames appeared out of thin air and quickly expanded to form a strange white sea of fire.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

The white sea of fire was like a veil of light. It violently blocked the whirlwind and entangled with it. The two Pandora Demon Abilities looked like an ancient godly giant as they entangled within one another with unceasing Wind and Fire Elements. The two created a spectacular scene as they collided fiercely in mid-air!
