A Wizard’s Secret

Merlin stood outside the Seely Dimension with a frown. Now, outside the Seely Dimension, stood a dense formation of numerous Spell Casters. Just as Merlin was about to enter the dimension, a familiar voice greeted him from behind, “Merlin? It’s really you!”

“Swish swish.”

Behind Merlin were the members of the Rainbow Squad. The Wizard who had noticed Merlin was Wizard Saturn.

“Wizard Saturn, I didn’t expect to see all of you here.”

Merlin also appeared pleased. He was a member of the Rainbow Squad, and had experienced life and death with Saturn and the others, so their relationship was very harmonious.

“Merlin, we tried looking for you throughout this period but you didn’t come out after entering Setoh Castle. As you know, we’re unable to enter Setoh Castle. Why are you trying to enter the Seely Dimension?”

Merlin wavered for a moment. Then, he pointed toward the dense formation of Spell Casters outside the Seely Dimension and asked, “What happened? Why are there so many Spell Casters outside the Seely Dimension?”

“You don’t know?”

Saturn was slightly taken aback. He pointed at the Seely Dimension and explained, “Recently, a lot has happened. The Rock Tribe has launched a full-blown war, and sent their strongest forces. Among them are two civilization-level prodigies who are almost completely unbeatable. They have re-occupied the Seely Dimension. The Ultimate Arcane Wizard has announced preparations for the final battle, and summoned all Spell Casters to come to the front line.”

“Civilization-level prodigies!”

Merlin muttered under his breath. He was not unfamiliar with this term. Back in the open territory, he not only knew of civilization-level prodigies but in fact, interacted with them. Alcra from the Tree Tribe had also transformed into a civilization-level prodigy.

Every civilization-level prodigy was almost comparable to a Great Legend. Although they were not actually Legends, their abilities were not the least inferior to a Great Legend.

If even the civilization-level prodigies had been sent out, the Rock Tribe was indeed gearing up for a final battle.

“Arcane Wizard Setoh can’t be so easily stumped, right? According to rumors, each of the three great Arcane Cities has a civilization-level prodigy respectively…”

Just as Merlin’s words fell, everyone’s attention was captivated by the castle suspended in the Void Zone. At this very moment, the castle gates swung open. Two figures flew out of the castle, and headed directly toward the Seely Dimension.

Saturn squinted his eyes and whispered, “It’s Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney. They are our civilization-level prodigies from the Spell Caster civilization. They’re finally here!”

“The final battle has begun. The battle of the civilization-level prodigies!”

Outside the Seely Dimension, many Spell Caster recognized these two prodigies. The civilization-level prodigies of the three great Arcane Cities were known to most Great Wizards. Their fame was probably more well-known than some Great Legends within the Spell Caster civilization.

“Let’s follow and take a look.”

Merlin glanced at Saturn. The other members of the Rainbow Squad also seemed eager to follow. After all, a fight between civilization-level prodigies was a rare event. If not for the civilization war, perhaps they would never see it.

Moreover, there was another rumor about the civilization-level prodigies. Wizard Setoh, the most recent Arcane Wizard among the three great Arcane Wizards, was also a civilization-level prodigy before becoming a Legend.

Since Arcane Wizard Setoh was previously a civilization-level prodigy, many of the Spell Casters had speculated that perhaps, the civilization-level prodigies had potential to become Arcane Wizards?

However, it had been almost three thousand years since Arcane Wizard Setoh became a Great Arcane Wizard. Thereafter, the Spell Caster civilization had not given birth to another Ultimate Arcane Wizard.

With the entry of these two civilization-level prodigies into the Seely Dimension, many of the more confident teams also followed them into the Seely Dimension.

In the Seely Dimension, it was still filled with endless black rocks. The entire dimension no longer had any trace of elements. The Seely Dimension had already become an ice-cold world, only suitable for the survival of the Rock Tribe.

Currently, there was only one stronghold in the Seely Dimension, which was also the stronghold guarded by the two civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe. At this time, the stronghold seemed to be prepared, and was quietly awaiting the arrival of Spell Casters.

Once the civilization-level prodigies of Arcane City flew above the stronghold, the two Rock Creatures suddenly flew upward, their bodies exuding oppressive auras. Even though they were not Legends, they appeared to possess the formidable powers of a Legend.

“Aroyo, Samka! The two civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe!”

These two Rock Creatures were different from the rest of the Rock Tribe. Their bodies emitted a dark red glow, so they looked very distinctive.

“The Spell Casters are finally willing to send you here? Wizard Yad, Wizard Courtney, the civilization-level prodigies of Arcane City, who once defeated a Great Legend! There’s no right or wrong in a civilization battle. Let’s rock!”

The two Rock Creatures, Aroyo and Samka, began to glow dimly. The dark red glow on their bodies flashed faster as their bodies grew taller, and their auras became more intimidating.

“Attack!”

Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney exchanged a glance, and each marked a Rock Creature. With a wave of their hands, they seemed to sprinkle a rainbow-colored ray. The colorful light rays illuminated the entire sky into a gorgeous scene.

“Boom.”

This gorgeous rainbow contained terrifying powers that could rival a Great Legend. Such power could break even a Great Legend’s Maxim.

A Maxim was a sublimation of spells, and was completely different in terms of power. Maxims were a higher-level power. In essence, Maxims were infinitely more powerful than spells but the spells of these civilization-level prodigies had already exceeded an ordinary Legend’s Maxim power.

“The power to break a Maxim… Perhaps, after I combine the Six-Elemental Wizard Heart and become a Great Wizard, I can have the power to break a Maxim!”

Merlin’s gaze was transfixed on Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney in the battlefield. Such absolute spell power was Merlin’s current inadequacy.

If he relied on the Illusory World and other supplementary powers, Merlin would be more formidable than an average Legend. However, his spells were still far from the levels achieved by the civilization-level prodigies.

On the other hand, these two civilization-level prodigies were completely self-sufficient in terms of spells. They had the power to break a Maxim and rival a Great Legend!

“Roar…”

However, the two civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe would not be sitting ducks. They were also civilization-level prodigies that could rival an Ancestor-level Rock Creature. Amid the ear-splitting roars, the two Rock Creatures hardened further, and grew taller. Then, they extended a gigantic hand and swung a punch.

A shockwave, almost visible to the naked eye, vibrated through the air. Two mighty forces collided violently in mid-air.

“Chi.”

There was no earth-shattering explosion. Instead, an invisible vibration spread out in all directions. The surrounding space began to crack in a spider web-like pattern.

“Crack.”

There was a crisp sound, and the space of the Seely Dimension was destroyed in an instant. The sky turned dark. The entire Seely Dimension seemed to be “wailing”.

In an ordinary dimension, should a Great Legend wield his powers without regard to consequences, the destructive power could cause a dimension to collapse entirely.

What more a legendary battle between four civilization-level prodigies. This was no different from an epic battle between four Great Legends.

Nevertheless, this was just the beginning. Despite space being torn apart, the Seely Dimension could recover quickly. Self-recovery was an ability possessed by a complete dimension.

In the first confrontation, the two sides were equally matched. However, the dark red glow on the backs of the two civilization-level prodigy Rock Creatures began to coalesce into a huge apparition.

“Boom.”

Aroyo and Samka slammed a foot brutally onto the ground. Suddenly, countless rocks were reduced to rubble, and mountains collapsed into dirt. It seemed like the entire dimension was shaking.

The two of them rushed forward again. The rainbow light in Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney’s hands glowed several times brighter. This was their spell fusion, thus, it could undergo hundreds and thousands of permutations. The rainbow light swiftly turned into two shields in front of their bodies.

“Boom.”

Again, it was a head-on collision. The two spell-conjured shields shattered immediately but the broken shards turned into blazing flames. Then, like two fire dragons, they stretched open their mouths and fiercely snapped at the two Rock Creatures.

Aroyo and Samka did not seem afraid. They hurtled a fist toward the fire dragons, and the fire dragons’ bodies dissipated. This time, they transformed into a large web which soared toward the Rock Creatures.

The two sides traded one blow after another. Just a few crossfires had caused terrible damage to the landscape. The inherent danger was even more worrisome.

Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney’s mastery of spells was truly superhuman and awe-inspiring. The greatest difference between a Great Wizard and a Ninth-level Spell Caster was the Wizard Heart. For a Ninth-level Spell Caster to wield a spell, he would need to simulate each Spell Model to release the spell. Thus, not only was there a lag in time but the changes between spells were also not as instinctive and uninterrupted.

Great Wizards, on the other hand, were able to do that. Once they had consolidated the colorful Wizard Heart, their spells would become ever-changing. They could wield any spell and change its form. From a frigid Ice-type spell to a blazing flame spell or even ice crystals encrusted in flames, was possible. They could even bend the laws of nature.

“Amazing, amazing, truly amazing! It’s not surprising that they are the civilization-level prodigies. Not only are their spells powerful but even their techniques are almost flawless!”

Saturn was watching attentively. Like Merlin, he was also looking at Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney’s mastery of spells. Initially, Saturn was quite an arrogant prodigy. He was the mightiest existence below a Legend. He even thought that the only difference between him and the civilization-level prodigies was merely the shortfall in perfect-grade spells.

Right now, however, he genuinely admired Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney!

Saturn was not alone in his revelation. Merlin, too, felt the blindfolds lifted from his eyes. Just watching the battle between the civilization-level prodigies would give him an edge later when he combined his Spell Models. Among his spells, most of them were perfect-grade spells, so it was extremely difficult to combine them. These civilization-level Wizards were basically similar to Merlin as they too, had many perfect-grade spells. Hence, they were a good reference point for Merlin.

“Boom.”

Another violent shock rippled through. The Seely Dimension began to vibrate strongly. The mountains tumbled, the grounds cracked, and the space shattered. All of these were the mark of a dimension that was about to collapse.

“The Seely Dimension can’t hold on any longer?”

Merlin frowned. The four civilization-level prodigies had been fighting for less than half a day but the Seely Dimension was already on the brink of collapse.
