A Wizard’s Secret

“The closest dimension to the Franz Dimension is a dimension belonging to the Avian Tribe, called the Weim Dimension. Weim isn’t a simple Wizard. He’s very powerful. Once, he had defeated four contenders from foreign tribes alone, which was how he occupied that dimension.”

The one who spoke was not Franz but Ansya. The female Wizard’s eyes flashed strangely. She seemed to be very interested in Merlin’s goal.

“The Weim Dimension?”

Merlin murmured. A small smile gradually emerged on his mouth.

A Wizard who was able to defeat four foreign tribe contenders alone would at least be a Great Wizard, hence, Weim definitely was not simple. He might be comparable to a being with three Maxims.

To be comparable to a Legend with three Maxims was quite frightening. Back then, Blackcloud had four Maxims and possessed more than a dozen dimensions, forming a huge force.

If one was able to form four Maxims, he would already be considered a powerful Legend while those with five Maxims and above were infinitely close to Honored Legends.

Merlin was probably equivalent to a Legend with five or more Maxims. After all, his Hallucinating spell was unique in addition to his unprecedented multi-colored Wizard Heart. Merlin had not encountered a Legend with five Maxims before, so it was difficult for him to know if he really would be stronger than one.

However, it was enough to deal with Weim!

“Alright, the Weim Dimension it is. If Franz doesn’t mind, could you give me a dimension map of this territory?”

Merlin smiled and asked Franz. The dimension map he had obtained from Setoh Arcane City was only until the Gerva Dimension. After all, only the Gerva Dimension was under the Spell Caster civilization’s sphere of influence. All the others were more chaotic. Therefore, they were not included in Setoh Arcane City’s dimension map.

“Of course.”

A dimension map was nothing to Franz, so he gave Merlin a relatively detailed dimension map.

It was indeed marked full of dimensions, especially between the Franz Dimension and the Gerva Dimension. There was a total of three dimensions, and the nearest one was the Weim Dimension.

“Wizard Franz, your dimension is too far from the Gerva Dimension. It’s not that safe either. Why don’t we occupy all three dimensions in the middle and join them together? We’ll be able to help each other that way, and other foreign tribes won’t dare to act anymore.”

Merlin put away the dimension map and proposed his idea.

At that time, Franz could clearly see that Merlin was seriously about seizing the foreign tribes’ dimensions. Generally, it was not something that even a Great Legend with two to three Maxims would do.

“Wizard Merlin, if you really want to seize a dimension, the Weim Dimension isn’t the best idea.”

Wizard Franz still wanted to remind Merlin.

“Wizard Franz, I’ve already decided.”

Saying that, Merlin stood up and left the castle, flying out of the Franz Dimension.

“How interesting, isn’t Wizard Merlin just a Great Wizard? This is probably the first time a Great Wizard is trying to seize a dimension in the boundless territory. I have to watch this interesting event. Lady and gentlemen, does anyone want to follow me?”

Ansya’s eyes flashed, and the others also seemed to be moved.

“After all, he’s a civilization-level prodigy from our Spell Caster civilization, and we’ve just fought side by side. If not for Wizard Merlin’s Hallucinating spell, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have defeated four insect mothers so easily. We’ll go together and let Wizard Merlin suffer a little. Then, he’ll naturally learn that the boundless territory isn’t that simple.”

Franz’s words made the other Legendary Wizards nod. Thus, the four Great Legends also swiftly rose, and caught up with Merlin.

…

It was not the first time Merlin saw the boundless and empty Void Zone.

In the vast Void Zone, Merlin’s Mind Power could only cover a small portion of it. At best, it could cover a dimension.

One dimension was just a grain of sand in the desert like the Void Zone, and it was unremarkable. Even ultimate existence did not know how vast the Void Zone was.

“The Void Zone is enormous. There are countless secrets hidden here. So many geniuses and contenders have shined brightly in this Void Zone…”

Merlin had some regrets. He thought of Aruba, who claimed to have broken the natural order and could travel the world alone. Even the natural order was helpless against him. How many large worlds had he seen?

Shaking his head lightly, Merlin tossed all irrelevant thoughts out of his mind. He was a mere Great Wizard, not even a Legend. He still had a long way before he could reverse the natural order.

His current target now was the Weim Dimension!

“Whoosh.”

Soon, Merlin saw the Weim Dimension gradually coming into the distance. He seemed to feel a distinct life force from it. It was the Avian Weim’s life force. It indicated that this dimension was already occupied by him.

“Stop, Spell Caster!”

Just as Merlin was approaching the Weim Dimension, a huge bird appeared from inside the dimension. It was an Avian Tribe contender.

“This is my dimension. Spell Caster, if you dare to come any closer, you’ll be challenging my might!”

Weim’s voice was imposing. At the same time, a strong force of oppression slowly enveloped Merlin. This was only a warning.

However, if Merlin did not take heed and continued approaching him, he would take it as an attack.

Merlin glanced at Weim and felt his life force. He was a contender comparable to having three Maxims. It was not surprising that he could occupy the Weim Dimension for so long without anyone causing trouble for him.

A Wizard had to have at least four Maxims to confidently expel a contender with three Maxims from his dimension. In the entire Spell Caster civilization, how many Great Legends had at least four Maxims?

“Whoosh.”

Merlin did not stop but instead accelerated.

“Humph!”

Weim scoffed coldly upon seeing Merlin’s actions. He had occupied this dimension for many years. It was the first time someone dared to provoke him.

“Boom.”

In the dimension, Weim’s real body appeared. It was an extremely beautiful and large bird covered with golden light. He gently flapped his wings but his speed was incomparably swift, and charged toward Merlin with a terrifying force.

“Ice Seal!”

Merlin also did not press forward. The other party left the dimension because he did not want to destroy it due to the battle. Thus, he also stopped. Behind him, his huge multi-colored Wizard Heart appeared.

“Crack crack.”

The chill was biting. Merlin’s spell was incredibly powerful under the support of his multi-colored Wizard Heart. Once it broke out, a terrifying cold squall blew in the Void Zone.

Almost all the places the cold wind blew past were frozen with a thick layer of ice crystals. Even Weim’s body hurriedly emitted bursts of golden light, and madly shot toward Merlin’s ice crystals like thousands of sharp thorns.

The ice crystals shattered but it could not stop the cold wind at all. Merlin’s expression was cold. This was his first battle, and he had to win in the most shocking and quickest way.

“Darkness Cover!”

As Merlin’s voice fell, the already pitch-black and silent Void Zone seem to become even darker. It could be scouted with Mind Power before, but now, it was like an invisible dark cage, trapping Weim within.

“Swooz swooz swooz.”

Golden light shone brightly. Weim also seemed to feel the danger in the darkness. The golden light on his body was like the sun, and was just about to pierce Merlin’s Darkness Cover when endless flames suddenly appeared, turning Weim’s surroundings into an inferno of flames and darkness.

“It can’t be. Impossible…”

Weim shouted, doing everything he could but to no avail. The flames burned him, and even the golden light protecting his body seemed to be easily burned to ash.

With the Darkness Elements, one would not even be able to distinguish North from South. The speed the Avian Tribe were so proud of was completely useless before Merlin.

Without the opportunity to play out his advantage, Weim gradually despaired.

All this was seen by Ducas, Franz, and the other Legendary Wizards. Their mouths were agape, and they stared at the huge darkness and terrifying inferno.

Particularly, they stared at the multi-colored Wizard Heart behind Merlin, which was casting a faint pressure on them despite aiming at Weim. It could even emit a slight force that oppressed them.

“He’s too powerful. How is he just a Great Wizard? He clearly has power comparable to Great Legends with four, no, five Maxims!”

Franz exclaimed with horror. Back then, Merlin did not have such terrifying power during the civilization war with the Rock Tribe civilization.

“A Great Wizard who has power comparable to someone with five Maxims… This is already beyond a civilization-level prodigy!”

Ducas’ eyes flashed with a strange light. In the vast Void Zone, civilization-level prodigies were exceedingly rare. They could be called the greatest prodigies in a civilization.

However, prodigies who surpassed civilization-level existed but they were simply too rare. Perhaps one would only be seen once every million years.

The Spell Caster civilization had never seen a prodigy like that before. They were only occasionally heard of when fighting against some foreign tribes, and many did not believe they existed.

However, now, Merlin had easily trapped Weim. This was far beyond the strength of a civilization-level prodigy but Merlin truly was just a Great Wizard.

Just by relying on his Wizard Heart, he could suppress a being who was comparable to having three Maxims. Even civilization-level prodigies could not do that under any circumstances.

“It’s over!”

Merlin’s Wizard Heart fiercely shook, and the flames seemed to intensify. Weim’s true body, a huge golden bird, was drowned in a sea of flames…
