“Wizard Matthew, I am afraid this Pandora Demon Ability may not bring any good upon your clan, but, in fact, disaster!”


Merlin looked coldly at Wizard Matthew. These Spell Caster clans could not resist the temptation of the Pandora Demon Ability. Due to them being such weak Spell Caster clans, the Pandora Demon Ability would do more harm than good.


Merlin looked over at Elena’s reaction to Merlin’s polite response. He ignored Wizard Matthew and decided to leave the Delman clan.


Elena followed after him and apologized awkwardly, “Merlin, please excuse us. I had tried to advise my father before, but the Pandora Demon Ability is too tempting, that is why he asked for such a favor.”


Elena shook her head lightly. They had no choice but to ask, even the stronger Spell Caster clans did not possess a Pandora Demon Ability let alone the weakest clan in Floating City.


It was feared that the Spell Caster clans of Floating City would face certain doom if the Pandora Demon Ability was to fall into their hands.


Elena nodded as she asked, “Merlin, how long will you stay in Floating City? You have just killed a Spell Caster from Ozmu, I am worried you may be in danger.”


“Danger?”


Merlin furrowed his eyebrows, he was aware of the agreement between Ozmu and the Spell Caster organizations of the Dark Magic Region and other places. If Ozmu did not plan to break their side of the agreement, surely, they would not send out a few Fourth-level Spell Casters in that short amount of time.


If it was not Fourth-level or higher Spell Casters, Merlin was confident he would be able to handle them without much trouble. He had gradually gained confidence in himself as his strength had improved significantly.


Merlin looked at Elena, who was clearly worried and nodded. “I will leave Floating City soon, but first I will visit Sterling House to buy a few potion ingredients.”


Elena sighed with relief. Merlin had already refused her as a servant, but as long as she maintained her relations.h.i.+p with him, her position within her clan would remain unchanged, it may even improve.


Therefore, Elena did not wish for Merlin to encounter any problems, it was best if he left Floating City as soon as possible while it was still safe to do so.


However, Elena did not know that upon leaving Floating City, Merlin would not return to the Dark Magic Region immediately. His mission to settle his issue with Riesen was only one of the missions he had in mind. He still wished to look for Laurinka to fulfill his promise.



Merlin stood before Sterling House. Wizard Busson, who had battled Weiss, was also from Sterling House. He was truly one of the most controlled Spell Casters.


Wizard Busson looked uneasy as he saw Merlin. He too knew the result of the battle between Merlin and Weiss. The collision between the two Pandora Demon Abilities would make a Fourth-level Spell Caster like him shudder as well.


Although he was a Spell Caster from Sterling House, he has never possessed any type of Pandora Demon Ability before.


“Wizard Merlin, why have you come to Sterling House today? Would you like to buy something?”


Wizard Busson personally welcomed Merlin, a sign of his respect towards Merlin.


Merlin had already prepared a list of the ingredients required for the Phantasmal Magic Potion and handed it to Sterling House. The Dark Magic Region did not have the necessary ingredients, so Merlin had to buy them from Sterling House.


“Huh? These ingredients are very rare. We don’t have much of it right now, but if you wait a couple of months, we will have a lot more sent over.”


Wizard Busson furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the detailed list.


“How many months?”


Merlin shook his head and said, “I don’t have much time to wait. In that case, just give me whatever you have left.”


Merlin was not worried about not having enough elemental crystal stones. He had just killed Weiss and Riesen, surely, Riesen’s ring would have a lot of elemental crystal stones.


Riesen had saved up over the years, he was prepared to buy the rare treasures required to cultivate the Pandora Demon Ability. However, the treasure required for Fiery Collapse was only available in the ancient monument, even Sterling House did not have any. Hence, Riesen never spent the elemental crystal stones, this made things easier for Merlin.


Even though Weiss did not have as many elemental crystal stones as Riesen, he still had quite a wealth too. Now, Merlin was rich, and he could buy even more potion ingredients.


“Very well, please wait a while, Wizard Merlin.”


Wizard Busson called over the other Spell Casters in Sterling House and asked them to prepare the potion ingredients Merlin needed.


After a while, Wizard Busson stared at Merlin, he seemed uncertain. It was clear that he wanted to say something but stopped himself every time he was about to.


“Wizard Merlin, could you possibly take out the Pandora Demon Ability in your ring?”


Finally, Wizard Busson could no longer resist and had posed his question. He was extremely envious of the Pandora Demon Ability Merlin had in his ring. However, he was only envious. He had seen Merlin’s power with his own eyes, even a Fourth-level Spell Caster from Sterling House would not dare to oppose Merlin.


Now, Merlin had finally developed and was no longer the newbie Wizard who had just walked into the Dark Magic Region!


Merlin smiled, he did not reject Wizard Busson but instead smiled as he said, “Wizard Busson, you must be aware of the rarity of Pandora Demon Abilities. What more could I have? Of course, if you had another Pandora Demon Ability, I would consider a trade.”


“Another Pandora Demon Ability?”


Wizard Busson heard this and his face dropped with disappointment as he shook his head. If he had another Pandora Demon Ability, he would not be as envious of Merlin’s Pandora Demon Ability.


“Wizard Busson, the ingredients are ready.”


Sterling House had placed all of Merlin’s ingredients for the Phantasmal Magic Potion in a ring.


“Wizard Merlin, please go over the contents!”


Wizard Busson handed the ring over to Merlin. Merlin went through it and immediately, he noticed that there were many ingredients in the ring, even more than he had initially wanted. It was enough to prepare a few dozen portions of Phantasmal Magic Potion.


Although Wizard Busson had mentioned that they had very few potion ingredients, it seemed that Merlin could prepare a few dozen portions of the Phantasmal Magic Potion just from this amount. He was very pleased and nodded as he said, “Not bad, this much of the potion ingredients should be enough.”


Merlin placed the potion ingredients in his own ring and paid a hefty amount of elemental crystal stones. Then, he got up to leave Sterling House.


Wizard Busson watched Merlin’s figure leave and shook his head. He hesitated a little as he said, “Actually, Sterling House does have a few Pandora Demon Abilities. Great Wizard Sterling had mastered these Pandora Demon Abilities. However, it is not for me to take…”


Wizard Busson was very tempted by the Pandora Demon Ability Merlin had on himself but knew very well that he could not take on Merlin in his current state. Even if he attacked with all he had, it would still be certain that his fate would end like Weiss.



“I am still weak and do not have enough strength. It doesn’t matter if it’s Wizard Matthew or Wizard Busson, they would both take action!”


Merlin had returned to the Delman clan and stayed in his room alone.


The Pandora Demon Ability possessed an unbeatable and incredible power, it attracted the likes of many Spell Casters. Although Merlin had lingered in Floating City, no one had made an attack yet. This was because the sheer strength of the Pandora Demon Ability was revealed when Merlin killed Weiss!


It was similar to how no one dared to take Wizard Leo’s Darkness Eye.


“I should check Weiss’ ring and see if the Wind-type Pandora Demon Ability is there.”


Merlin took out Weiss’ ring. Before this, he had stayed in the room and used elemental crystal stones to recover his Magic Power, he did not get the chance to look through Weiss’ ring and see what treasures it may contain.


Of course, the most precious of them all would be Weiss’ Pandora Demon Ability. It was used by Ozmu to seduce Weiss into joining them.


Merlin searched for a bit and suddenly he gave a startled look at the ring.


“Well! It really is here!”


Merlin quickly pulled out a perfect-thread-bound book. The first few pages recorded a type of Wind-type Pandora Demon Ability.


Not to mention, the cultivation method of this Pandora Demon Ability, its history, strength and more were all recorded explicitly in this thread-bound book. It was much more detailed than Merlin’s Glacial Finger and Fiery Collapse.


Merlin flipped through the pages quickly and deliberately, his expression turned unsightly.


“What a shame! I can’t cultivate it!”


Merlin looked disappointed. Weiss’ Pandora Demon Ability was called Destructive Wind, it was clear that this was a particularly powerful Pandora Demon Ability just from the name itself.


In order to cultivate Destructive Wind, the pre-requisite was the construction of an Offensive Wind-type spell. Merlin was a Six-Elemental Spell Caster and had already constructed a Wind-type spell. However, it was a Speed spell, there was no way he could reach the requirements to cultivate Destructive Wind.


Therefore, although Merlin had obtained Destructive Wind, he had no way to cultivate it.


Merlin reconsidered for a moment. Despite him not being able to cultivate it, he still possessed the Pandora Demon Ability, he could return to the Dark Magic Region and request a trade for the Pandora Demon Ability in the Dark Magic Region.


The Dark Magic Region had prioritized Merlin’s training and the consequence of that was that he could uncover a few secrets. The Dark Magic Region had a long history and they too had a few Pandora Demon Abilities. However, they were not easy to obtain and were kept in the Resource Tower, where it was also impossible to be traded for.


Only those who had an outstanding contribution to the Dark Magic Region, or the official members of the Dark Magic Region who could retrieve the corresponding treasure would have a chance at obtaining the Pandora Demon Ability of the Dark Magic Region.


Pandora Demon Abilities within any Spell Caster organization were kept very secretly, unlike Ozmu, who would distribute Pandora Demon Abilities to seduce Spell Casters into joining them.


Merlin placed Destructive Wind away, he then carefully looked through Weiss’ ring once more but found nothing valuable.


Merlin was about to put the ring away when the bowknot casting tool on his chest began to pulsate continuously as it gradually let off a warm energy.


Merlin paused and removed the pulsating casting tool from his chest as his face gleamed intriguingly.
