Chapter 630: Merlin In Battle!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seven days later, throngs of Spell Casters gathered outside the Seely Dimension once again. In particular, there were more than a hundred Great Legends, eighteen Honored Legends, and even four Great Lords.
On the other side of the Seely Dimension was a great number of members of the Rock Tribe. There were likewise countless Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. Both sides were silently waiting in this manner. The atmosphere was tense as if on the verge of eruption.
“Progenitor Hanra, these Spell Casters have really decided to start a civilization war?”
Behind Progenitor Hanra, one of the six civilization-level prodigies, Aroyo, questioned softly. They had been in this standoff for a few hours but there had been no further developments. The oppressive mood was dreadful.
Progenitor Hanra shook his head slightly. “We don’t know what will happen. Even the mightiest beings are unable to predict the future because every moment of the future is constantly s.h.i.+fting… No matter if Setoh begins a civilization war, we mustn’t let down our guard, so be prepared!”
As soon as he spoke, there was a commotion at the Spell Casters’ side. A young figure slowly walked out from the crowd, and instantly flew into the Seely Dimension.
“It’s not a Legend?”
“Progenitor Hanra, that Wizard seems to be Merlin who had vanquished the Progenitor Squad in the Seely Dimension!”
Some of the Rock Creatures had recognized that young figure.
“Merlin? Back then, the Progenitor Squad was sent to confront the Rainbow Squad. At first, they hoped to make a name for themselves in that battle and control the Seely Dimension but unexpectedly, they were defeated by an unknown young Wizard. So, it’s him? Hehe, Setoh has run out of ideas. This might be his last resort but he’s still doomed to lose. A young fellow who hasn’t even reached civilization-level – can he turn things around? Aroyo, all six of you, go on. This might be the final fight. If this Merlin is killed, a civilization war is likely to erupt. For the sake of our tribe’s survival and growth, we won’t back down from even a ruthless civilization war!”
Progenitor Hanra’s tone revealed an incomparable determination!
Therefore, Aroyo led the five other civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe, and quickly flew into the Seely Dimension.
…
“Someone has entered the Seely Dimension. Which civilization-level Wizard is that?”
“It doesn’t seem to be a civilization-level Wizard. This one’s named Merlin. Back then, he became famous due to a battle in the Seely Dimension. He wiped out the Progenitor Squad of the Rock Tribe in one move! Nonetheless, I’ve heard that Wizard Merlin is merely the mightiest existence below Legends. He hasn’t even reached civilization-level. How come he dares to face the six civilization-level geniuses of the Rock Tribe alone?”
At this moment, Spell Casters who did not know about Merlin were inquiring about him. Soon enough, they knew some facts about Merlin but the one thing they had heard the most was how Merlin had defeated the Progenitor Squad.
However, although the Progenitor Squad was impressive, a civilization-level Wizard could easily defeat them too. It must be known that this time, Merlin was facing six civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe.
“It looks like Wizard Merlin. He’s actually going to take on the six civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe by himself?”
Those in the Rainbow Squad were unmatched in their astonishment when they spotted Merlin at this moment. They had known Merlin for so long, and were familiar with him long ago.
Nevertheless, it was only now that the members of the Rainbow Squad realized, with a shock, that this figure was so foreign to them. They had never truly understood Merlin.
“Blackfire, do you think Merlin stands a chance?”
Wizard Setoh was also keeping an eye on this unequal match in the Seely Dimension.
“Chance? Perhaps. How many miracles have the Spell Caster civilization produced in three thousand years? Not even we would know… To grow from being weak in three thousand years to reach the formidable stage we’re at today, is there any miracle that’s impossible?”
A smile tugged at the corner of the Blackfire Lord’s mouth.
“That’s right, a miracle! Our Spell Caster civilization has never lost before. Even if it’s a civilization war, we’ll surely seize the final victory! Four Great Lords are all prepared. If Merlin loses, you’ll act instantly. This time, we mustn’t just attack. It must be our greatest attack. Besides me, who mustn’t interfere, the four Great Lords and all of the Great Legends must attack and chase the Rock Tribe back to their old nest!”
The Arcane Wizard Setoh’s voice rang clearly in the ears of every Great Legend. Everyone trembled inwardly as a tense atmosphere gradually spread…
“Swish.”
Merlin flew into the Seely Dimension, and lightly shut his eyes. His Mind Power extended outward as he probed for the Elemental Origin of the Seely Dimension. It was just a shame that the Seely Dimension had been remodeled, and had no Elemental Origin left. According to the standards of Spell Casters, it had become a barren dimension.
The Rock Tribe was a strange civilization. Their remodeling of a dimension was equivalent to destruction. No matter the Giant Tribe or the Tree Tribe, all of them required dimensions with a Dimension Core. This included the Spell Casters, who were a living race as well. They all belonged to a civilization founded by living creatures.
Nevertheless, the Rock Tribe was different. They were icy cold Rock Creatures with no trace of life. Any dimension they had was icy cold, and incomparably desolate as well.
The Seely Dimension, for instance, was now completely transformed into an icy cold world. This dimension had lost its Elemental Origin, and could be considered a “dead” dimension.
However, such a dimension had immense benefits for the Rock Tribe.
“They’re coming!”
Merlin’s Mind Power quickly sensed that there were six figures approaching him. These figures were chilly as ice without a trace of a life force. It was easy to discern their ident.i.ties as Rock Creatures.
Aroyo led the five other civilization-level prodigies forward but they were not underestimating Merlin at all. Instead, they appeared cautious, and immediately formed the Progenitor’s Body while they were still a good distance away from Merlin.
“Boom.”
The gigantic Progenitor’s Body landed, and crashed heavily into the ground, causing the ground to quake.
“Hallucinate!”
Merlin’s shapeless and soundless Mind Power quickly wrapped around the ma.s.sive Progenitor’s Body. The six civilization-level prodigies who made up the Progenitor’s Body could feel a strange force influencing their thoughts.
“A Hallucinating spell? Progenitor Hanra had told us before that Merlin is a rather extraordinary Mind Power Master of the Spell Caster civilization, able to create various Hallucinating spells. Back then, the Progenitor Squad was defeated in one blow thanks to his Hallucinating spell. Nonetheless, his Hallucinating spell might be effective against the Progenitor Squad but it’s still far from being a match for us!”
Aroyo instantly recalled Progenitor Hanra’s warning, and knew that Merlin was wielding his Hallucinating spell. However, they were civilization-level prodigies comparable to Great Legends, and would not be affected by Merlin’s third-stage Hallucinating spell.
Thus, the humongous Progenitor’s Body raised one huge hand and dashed forward suddenly. The gigantic palm was just like a mountain that crashed down instantly.
Merlin did not dawdle and swiftly retreated but the descending speed of that giant palm was too fast. Merlin hesitated no longer, and four types of spell emerged around him.
Merlin gently mixed them, and the four spells promptly fused together. Moreover, they were incessantly condensed. Following that, Merlin waved his hand, and countless b.a.l.l.s of this spell fusion immediately flew toward the Progenitor’s Body’s giant palm.
“Bang bang bang.”
Faced with this spell fusion, the ma.s.sive Progenitor’s Body did not dodge at all, and instead brandished its hand to meet the spells head-on. It vigorously smashed the b.a.l.l.s of spell fusion.
Although the spells created a fiery explosion each time they dispersed, their influence against the Progenitor’s Body’s defense was very limited. Conversely, Merlin’s Magic Power was greatly consumed. He could not afford to sustain such a high-level battle.
Within this first exchange of blows, Merlin already felt immense pressure. An invisible force seemed to press on from all sides. His Hallucinating spell could not affect his opponent, and his spell fusion was ineffective too. Naturally, Merlin was at a disadvantage.
Merlin’s position was even more precarious now, and no one was able to have much hope in him.
“It looks like he won’t pull this off… Blackfire Lord, Arctic Lord, Sorrow Lord, Nightmare Lord, all four of you Great Lords, get ready.”
The Arcane Wizard Setoh’s voice sounded in the ears of the four Great Lords. Instantly, the Legendary teams commanded by each of the four Great Lords inched forward silently. Their target was not just the Seely Dimension but to also breach the dimensions behind the Rock Tribe in one swift move. In this manner, they would firmly suppress the Rock Tribe in the Rock Creatures’ own dimensions, then chase them back to their old nest.
“Darkness Eye!”
A sharp voice suddenly pierced through the Seely Dimension. Soon, behind Merlin, who had been losing ground, and was in imminent danger, a gigantic crimson eye appeared.
“The seventh form Darkness Eye?”
All the Great Legends who were present recognized Darkness Eye of the Legend of Darkness. This time, although the Legend of Darkness had not come to the front lines, many Great Legends had the utmost familiarity with his Darkness Eye.
“This is Merlin’s trump card?”
A helpless expression crossed the Arcane Wizard Setoh’s face as he shook his head. He no longer had any hope in Merlin. If one could rely upon the seventh form of Darkness Eye to defeat the civilization-level prodigies, then he would have asked the Legend of Darkness to send his troop of puppets long ago.
“Hold on, it doesn’t seem to be just that. The Progenitor’s Body has stopped in its tracks?”
The Blackfire Lord raised a hand, and the other Great Lords halted immediately. Even the Arcane Wizard Setoh looked toward the Seely Dimension once again.
Presently, the formidable Progenitor’s Body was now just like a statue, without even the slightest twitch. This was clearly juxtaposed against the giant blood-red eye that was becoming clearer behind Merlin.
“Haha, Merlin, you’ve done it! The Illusory World has caught the six civilization-level prodigies in the illusion. Hurry, now’s the best chance to defeat the Progenitor’s Body!”
Within the illusion bead, t.i.tus could not help but yell in excitement.
“Silencing Ray!”
Merlin’s gaze was icy cold, having formed the seventh form of Darkness Eye long before. The terrifying giant crimson eye that had materialized behind Merlin fired a heavy beam of blood-red light, which followed Merlin’s finger. s.p.a.ce in the Seely Dimension was annihilated.
“Boom.”
In the blink of an eye, Silencing Ray had crashed into the Progenitor’s Body that was caught in the illusion and thus, was totally defenseless. Instantly, the huge sweep of crimson light exploded, submerging the gigantic frame of the Progenitor’s Body…
