A Wizard’s Secret

Merlin immediately sensed the danger. The stranger’s hands had turned into huge claws covered with black fur, and contained great power to capture Merlin.

This kind of power would not be considered remarkable in the Void Zone. It was only equivalent to a regular Spell Caster. However, it was a fatal threat to Merlin now as his Illusory World had completely collapsed, leaving only a trace of the core power of the natural order.

However, Merlin would never be able to use the power of the natural order, otherwise, he would be discovered by the will of this Latitude Cosmos and may face death. However, if this shifter killed him, the body that Merlin just captured would be lost. At that time, the Illusory World would still be exposed to this new Latitude Cosmos, and Merlin would still be in danger.

As a result, Merlin was caught in a dilemma between two very dangerous situations.

Although he did not know what power this man had to morph into a beast, Merlin was keenly aware that although the other party was incredibly quick, he did not have any killing intent.

Merlin perfected the Mind Power System in his past life, and also formed an Illusory World. His Mind Power had also reached the peak, so how would he fail to notice killing intent?

“He doesn’t have any killing intent. In other words, he doesn’t want to kill me but captures me?”

Countless thoughts flashed in Merlin’s head.

Since the other party would not kill him, that meant he still had a chance.

At this point, out of the corner of his eye, Merlin glanced at Reese dressed in a beautiful white dress. This beautiful young woman, his fiancée, had turned pale and was trembling, clearly not expecting this to have happened. Merlin thought lightly of the shifter’s power, but it did not mean that others could bear it.

“Run!”

Merlin growled lowly and pushed Reese hard behind him.

It was just one action, but it made Reese feel that Merlin’s figure grew taller.

“Leon…”

Reese was just a young girl, and girls always looked toward heroes. Leon was not her hero before, but at this moment, Leon’s thin body seemed more dazzling than any hero.

“Bang.”

A dull sound rang, and Merlin’s body fell to the ground. A shocked look appeared on the strange man’s face as if he saw something unbelievable.

“How could this be? I only wanted to capture him. How…”

Victor had been confident that a person without an almighty beast bloodline like Leon would be unable to resist his grasp.

However, just as he was about to seize Leon, an invisible force resisted his power for a moment, and he lost control of his strength. By the time the invisible force disappeared, he had already viciously attacked Leon’s body. Leon fell back, and deep red blood spilled all over the floor, painting a ghastly scene.

“Leon!”

Seeing Leon got sent flying by the shifter and fall heavily to the ground, a furious roar sounded, and surging killing intent filled the entire hall.

“I’ll kill you all!”

The huge roar shook the entire hall. The elegant Count Stanwin had immediately transformed into a terrifying Deinosuchus. The top of his head was full of terrifying crocodiles, and his figure exuded a powerful force, causing others to tremble.

This was the strength of the Deinosuchus bloodline. Count Stanwin was a member of the Hilderbrandt clan and inherited the Deinosuchus bloodline. Once, the Hilderbrandt clan was relatively strong, but over time, the clan’s bloodline grew increasingly weak, and their power continued to decline.

The appearance of Count Stanwin had revived the prestige of the family. The Deinosuchus Hilderbrandt clan was already the most powerful family in Boulder City. It was precisely because of Count Stanwin’s great contributions that he earned such prestige. He was the head of the entire family.

As the person with the richest bloodline of the Hilderbrandt clan in the past hundreds of years, Count Stanwin’s Deinosuchus bloodline was incredibly terrifying. Not only had his head, upper body, and lower body had been completely transformed into a crocodile, his figure was emitting a thick and terrifying crimson red light.

When this layer of light had enveloped someone, it would let them feel incomparable terror. Affecting someone’s rationality was also a unique strength of the Deinosuchus bloodline.

“Blackbat Militia, you dare to cause trouble in my manor? Die!”

Count Stanwin’s voice contained endless anger as he stepped forward just like a real crocodile. He swept his thick tail, directly hitting two Blackbat Militia members, including Victor.

“Bang.”

With just a sweep, the two men’s transformation was almost scattered. Their hearts were beyond terrified. Although they already had information about Count Stanwin’s terrifying Deinosuchus bloodline, they had not witnessed it before and were still able to shrug it off. However, now that they had seen Count Stanwin’s horrifying power, they knew that they had lost this battle.

“Retreat. Everyone, retreat!”

The Blackbat Militia did not hesitate to give the order to retreat. At that time, many strangers in the hall shifted and fled the manor as quickly as possible.

Count Stanwin did not pursue them either. He was more worried about Leon’s injuries. He merely ordered the manor’s knights to pursue them before holding Merlin and directly walking into the house.

Now that such an incident happened in the Count’s manor, all the aristocrats present felt frightened. If what happened today did not occur in the Count’s manor, but their own, would they be able to deal with it?

“The Blackbat Militia is despicable. They’ve used assassinating methods. They must be afraid of Count Stanwin.”

“Currently, the front line has a solid defensive perimeter by Marshal Kerry. The Blackbat Militia can’t break through at all. They’re trying to use assassination to cause Marshal Kerry’s rear to become chaotic so that they can break through the defensive perimeter. However, how would they know Count Stanwin’s prowess?”

“Yes, Count Stanwin is truly amazing. The strength contained in the Deinosuchus bloodline has most likely developed into the fourth form and is about to enter the fifth form. It’s truly amazing!”

“I wonder how Master Leon is. How unfortunate. If Master Leon had inherited the Deinosuchus bloodline, the Blackbat Militia wouldn’t be able to assassinate him. They wouldn’t even know where to start…”

The aristocrats discussed with each other. Then, the butler of the Count’s Manor informed the aristocrats that the engagement ceremony was over. As a result, the aristocrats left the manor one after another, and the entire manor quieted down again.

…

In a luxurious room, Merlin was lying on the bed. There were already doctors who were treating Merlin, so his horrible injury was much better now.

However, Merlin was still asleep. It was not because he was in a coma but because he did not want to wake up. This was because Merlin needed to understand this new Latitude Cosmos clearly. Now that he was injured, it was a good opportunity to do so.

From his memory, Merlin already knew that this world was called the Almighty Beast World where everyone worshipped almighty beasts. Rumor had it that some powerful almighty beasts could destroy the world.

From Leon’s memory, Merlin speculated that this Almighty Beast World was much weaker than the Void Zone. In the beginning, he had entered this weak Latitude Cosmos to avoid danger.

However, saying it was weak was only relative to the Void Zone. The will of this Almighty Beast World was now the greatest threat to Merlin.

Merlin did not dare to reveal a trace of power from his Illusory World. Furthermore, his Illusory World was only left with a small trace of the power of the natural order.

When Merlin entered the Almighty Beast World, he was pursued by the will of the Almighty Beast World. Even if he had entered Leon’s body, he could not escape being attacked by the will of the Almighty Beast World.

At the last minute, Merlin chose to seize Leon’s body. After taking Leon’s body, some changes occurred. The Almighty Beast World had a very instinctive will. Since Merlin had seized Leon’s body, he had gained a small connection to the Almighty Beast World, and was considered to be a being of the Almighty Beast World. Therefore, Merlin had narrowly escaped the disaster and survived. However, the power of the Illusory World could never be used.

Since he could not use the Illusory World, he could only turn to other forces. Today’s situation was truly too dangerous. Merlin had already experienced many dangerous situations, but this time, he had just captured this body before he encountered the unexpected danger of death.

“I’ll remember that Blackbat Militia!”

There was a hint of killing intent in Merlin’s heart. He was a great existence that contended with a Latitude Cosmos, but the Blackbat Militia almost killed him when he was at his most dangerous situation. Merlin naturally would not let the Blackbat Militia off.

However, the first thing to do was to obtain power. The Illusory World was not irrecoverable, but on the premise that the Illusory World could not be used at will, Merlin was now just an ordinary person. He needed to rely on the natural order in the Illusory World to recover slowly, but he did not know how long it would take. It might take decades to recover just a little.

“I need to speed up the recovery process of the Illusory World but it’ll take quite a lot of time. What I need to consider now is how to let this body have some ways to protect himself.”

Merlin did not want something dangerous like today to happen again.

“There are no Elements in this world, so it’s impossible to build a Spell Model, but the relief sculpture left by Aruba is a good way to train despite its flaws!”

Thinking of this, Merlin immediately brightened up.
