“The Progenitor Squad? I’m afraid you’re too late. That pile on the ground is the Progenitor Squad that you’re looking for…”


Rael was in a good mood as he pointed at the pile of shattered rocks.


Bolt and the others glanced over and felt that familiar life force. It was the same life force as the “Heart Core” Squad they had chased after earlier.


“Bolt!”


Suddenly, a strict voice sounded by Bolt’s ear.


“Great Arcane Wizard, please give us your instructions!”


Bolt immediately knew who the voice belonged to. His expression became respectful.


“The Progenitor Squad has been defeated by Merlin. Your current task now is to sweep through the remaining Rock Tribe strongholds in the Seely Dimension together with the Rainbow Squad, and completely control the Seely Dimension.”


“Please be rest a.s.sured, Great Arcane Wizard. We’ll definitely control the Seely Dimension.”


After listening to Arcane Wizard Setoh’s message, Bolt looked at the Rainbow Squad with a complicated expression before his eyes finally landed on Merlin. He was able to single-handedly defeat the Progenitor Squad. He was no longer someone as simple as the strongest Wizard below Legend but he was above all Spell Casters below Legend. He was a terrifying genius who was comparable to a Great Legend!


The Rainbow Squad and the Mille Squad did not encounter any more trouble and smoothly occupied the entire Seely Dimension. The Rock Creatures in the front line seemed to be pulling back completely. One by one, they withdrew from their strongholds, and only a few extremely powerful strongholds remained. Spell Casters would not be able to breach them in a short amount of time.


Both sides seemed to be building up strength, and the Seely Dimension that the front line revolved around began to quieten down. However, everyone knew that there was an undercurrent behind that peace, and it was just the calm before the storm!



“Wizard Merlin, the great Wizard Setoh has asked for you!”


Bolt, from the Mille Squad, conveyed Wizard Setoh’s invitation to Merlin.


At this moment, Merlin was still a member of the Rainbow Squad. However, they had left the Seely Dimension, and were back at the Alabaster Dimension behind the Seely Dimension.


“Wizard Merlin, don’t worry about us. We can also prepare during this period. I’m afraid this war has just begun.”


Saturn was not very optimistic. The Spell Casters only held a slight upper hand now. The cruelty of a civilization war had not been reflected yet.


During this period of calm, there were indeed many Spell Casters who chose to recuperate at the Alabaster Dimension in order to prepare for a more brutal battle.


Merlin nodded. “Alright, then you guys get ready.”


Then, Merlin followed behind Bolt, and quickly flew to the skies in the Alabaster Dimension. In an independent s.p.a.ce among the clouds stood a towering castle.


“This is Setoh Castle! Wizard Merlin, Setoh Castle isn’t accessible to just anyone. Many Honored Legends haven’t even step foot here before. You’re very lucky! Hurry inside. Wizard Setoh is only allowing you in.”


Bolt then turned to leave. Although he was a genius Spell Caster favored by Wizard Setoh, in the absence of a specialized summon, he did not have the qualifications to enter Setoh Castle.


Merlin looked at Setoh Castle which floated in an individual s.p.a.ce that even the Alabaster Dimension could not repair. He could even see some storms sweeping in the s.p.a.ce, which showed that the s.p.a.ce was not very calm. However, it did not shake up Setoh Castle at all.


Merlin did not delve deeply into the matter. The means of Arcane Wizards were far beyond his comprehension, so he simply walked toward the castle step by step.


“Whoosh.”


Merlin felt his consciousness grow blurry, and there was a feeling akin to entering a Runic Magic Circle. By the time he opened his eyes, he had found himself in a magnificent hall.


However, the hall was completely empty. There was nothing at all.


“Great Arcane Wizard Setoh?”


In the vast hall, only the echo of Merlin’s voice could be heard. There was no sign of anyone else.


“Wizard Setoh told me to come here, so how can he be missing?”


Merlin frowned, unable to think of any other reasons.


“Meow.”


Suddenly, a flash of black pounced on Merlin. Merlin also felt the familiar life force, and a smile spread across his face. He blurted out, “Didimoss?”


“Haha, Merlin, you’re quite lucky. So, you didn’t die? Come, come, come. Let me see. You were really in the limelight in this period of time!”


The voice was very familiar, and the life force belonged to the black cat Didimoss but Merlin’s eyes widened as he looked at the black cat the size of a large dog. Was this the Didimoss that used to climb on Merlin’s shoulder before?


In the past, Didimoss was just a little chubby, and was a fat cat only in name. However, now, the black cat Didimoss was not only fat but very large as well, just like a big dog. It was also Merlin’s first time seeing such a large “cat”.


As if sensing the doubts in Merlin’s heart, the black cat Didimoss shook its head and explained, “Merlin, that old fart Setoh doesn’t treat me bad. Every once in a while, there’ll be some powerful foreign tribes for me to eat. Hehe, right now, even ten of you won’t be able to match me!”


Indeed, Merlin felt that the current black cat Didimoss was somewhat usual, and there was faint oppression from its body. Although the Didimoss in the past was comparable to a Great Legend, there was no such oppressive feeling. It seemed that during this period of time, the black cat Didimoss indeed made a lot of progress.


“Oh, right. Why did you come here, Merlin?”


The black cat Didimoss asked curiously.


“Ah? Wasn’t it Wizard Setoh who had asked me to come?”


Merlin was rather surprised.


“Huh? That’s weird. That old fart Setoh left the castle a few days ago to somewhere unknown. How could he have let you in here?”


The black cat Didimoss’ words surprised Merlin. If it was not Arcane Wizard Setoh who had invited him, then who was it?


“You can stop guessing. I made Bolt invite you in Wizard Setoh’s name.”


A familiar figure slowly appeared in the hall.


“Teacher!”


Merlin brightened up at the figure, no longer having any suspicion.


That figure was the Blackfire Lord. A smile also appeared on his indifferent face. He waved at Merlin and said, “Come, don’t be so courteous. You can make yourself at home in this castle.”


Merlin nodded. The black cat Didimoss wanted to jump onto Merlin’s shoulders, but after seeing its own size, it could only give up, and fall into pace beside Merlin.


“Sit down, make yourself at home!”


After Merlin sat down, the black cat Didimoss finally found the right opportunity to jump on Merlin. It laid down lazily, looking very comfortable.


“Teacher, is there a reason why you called me here?”


Seeing how the Blackfire Lord did not say anything, Merlin asked cautiously.


“Yes, there is.”


The Blackfire Lord paused. He fixed his sharp gaze on Merlin, and said solemnly, “Merlin, tell me. Have you already made that crucial step?”


“Crucial step?”


Merlin was slightly stunned but he immediately understood what the Blackfire Lord was referring to – the Mind Power system! From the beginning, the Blackfire Lord had even accepted Merlin as his disciple in order to perfect the Mind Power system.


According to the Blackfire Lord’s understanding, Mind Power Masters could rival Great Legends after taking a crucial step, which was perfecting the Mind Power system. However, according to t.i.tus’ Mind Power system, being comparable to a Legend was just the state of the Illusory Heart. It was just the second stage of the Hallucinating spell.


There was still the third stage as well as the Illusory World. After the Illusory World, one would be able to turn nothingness into reality. That was the true perfection of the Mind Power system. Currently, Merlin had not even reached the Illusory Heart. He was still very far from that step.


After pondering for a moment, Merlin said slowly, “I have indeed made that crucial step and broke through the Legend’s shackles!”


Merlin did not mention t.i.tus’ Mind Power system, not because of selfishness, but because t.i.tus’ Mind Power system was imperfect.


Even t.i.tus failed in forming an Illusory World. The Illusory World in the illusion bead was imperfect. Even t.i.tus could not perfect the Illusory World. Obviously, t.i.tus’ Mind Power system was flawed, and required Merlin to perfect it bit by bit in the future.


However, Merlin did not know whether t.i.tus was on the right path or not, and neither did t.i.tus. They could only move one step at a time, and hoped to finally perfect the Mind Power system through constant exploration.


Therefore, until the Mind Power system was completely perfected, Merlin did not plan on letting others know about t.i.tus’ Mind Power system. If it turned out that t.i.tus’ path was wrong, then Merlin would have caused a huge disaster. It would be catastrophic to the Spell Caster world.


That was why Merlin still chose to hide this issue for the time being.


“Haha, I was right. I was right!”


The Blackfire Lord’s face revealed a trace of excitement. Since he became a Lord, he had been studying Mind Power, and he was also a powerful Mind Power Master. According to t.i.tus’ Mind Power system categorization, the Blackfire Lord had reached the second stage of Hallucinating spells.


The Blackfire Lord soon calmed his excitement, and continued. “Merlin, if you can perfect the Mind Power system, it’ll make me even happier than if you become a Lord! You would be opening another path for many of our Spell Casters. Your contribution would be no less than the three great Arcane Wizards who were enlightened about the Spell Caster arcanum, and completely perfected the Spell Caster system.”


It was not surprising that the Blackfire Lord was so excited. Indeed, if Merlin could truly completely perfect the Mind Power system, his achievement would be no less than the three great Arcane Wizards. It would also open a path not inferior to the Spell Caster system. It would play a huge role in the Spell Caster civilization.


“Merlin, our war with the Rock Tribe won’t end for a while, and it’s very likely that it’ll develop into a cruel civilization war! I already know about your battle with the Progenitor Squad. Your combined spell’s power is indeed very powerful but it’s still not a true Legend. If the enemy can resist your Hallucinating spell or isn’t affected by your Hallucinating spell, you’ll be in great danger.”


Merlin had also considered several points that the Blackfire Lord had mentioned. His strongest reliance now was on his Hallucinating spells. However, the Blackfire Lord did not know that Merlin could mobilize the Illusory World, and cause even true Great Legends to fall into the Hallucinating spell.


“Haha, Blackfire King, stop making Merlin worried. Quickly take out everything you got from the Legend of Darkness.”


The black cat Didimoss suddenly interrupted.


“The Legend of Darkness?”


Merlin was stunned. He soon a.s.sociated it to his Darkness Eye which was stuck at its sixth form, unable to break through to the seventh form.


The Blackfire Lord laughed. “That’s right. I called the Legend of Darkness a few days ago, and asked him for some cultivation methods for Darkness Eye, especially the key method to cultivate it to its seventh form!”


“The seventh form!”


Merlin’s eyes were fervent. Darkness Eye was the strongest at its seventh form, and was Legend of Darkness Oflas’ greatest achievement. One could not become Legend, and have power equivalent to a Great Legend.


In order to do that, he had even set up a puppet team to cultivate Darkness Eye. With that team, the Legend of Darkness established a powerful Darkness country in the vast Spell Caster civilization, which was considered powerful beings even among Honored Legends.


Even if it was the Blackfire Lord, he must have exhausted all his thoughts, and used many methods to obtain the seventh form of Darkness Eye from the Legend of Darkness’ hands.


Merlin was very moved. At this moment, he seemed to see Wizard Leo. The Blackfire Lord’s figure in front of him seemed to slowly overlap with Wizard Leo from Merlin’s memories.


“Teacher, you’ve gone through a lot of trouble for me! Thank you, Teacher Blackfire!”


“Haha, this is just a trivial matter. If you survive through the civilization war, that would be your greatest way of repaying me. Remember, you have to live on in the civilization way. You must perfect the Mind Power system!”


Merlin nodded solemnly. Then, the Blackfire Lord’s Mind Power swiftly brought a large amount of information. Merlin did not resist, and his Mind Power automatically began to absorb it.
