A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 748: Summoned by the Arcane Wizard

Chapter 748: Summoned by the Arcane Wizard


“Are you awake?”


When Merlin opened his eyes, other than the puppet, Maya was standing before him.


Maya’s face was suffused with glee. It seemed like the benefit he obtained from the Purple Emperor made him very pleased.


“Wizard Merlin, I’m afraid we have to leave.”


Maya gestured at the puppet as he spoke.


“What’s wrong?”


Merlin had just tentatively refined the Mind Power system. Although his capabilities were not boosted, this was still important to him. It was not just because he could nearly touch the Illusory Heart but more crucially, tentatively refining the Mind Power system was an earth-shattering development to the entire Spell Caster civilization.


“Master’s inheritance has been pa.s.sed on to you. According to Master’s arrangements, once the inheritance is gone, you must leave. This dimension is transformed from Master’s body and has no Dimension Origin. Master didn’t want his body to be controlled by anyone. Therefore, after you leave, this dimension formed from Master’s body will rapidly burn, finally becoming ashes and vanishes in the Void Zone.”


Although the puppet’s words were calm, its tone revealed a trace of sorrow.


The purple dimension was going to disappear. Merlin was rather rueful. One of the lofty Thirty-six Emperors of the past would still die, and a trillion years after his death, the inheritance he left behind was ultimately not pa.s.sed on to the members of his tribe.


“It’s time to leave.”


Merlin drew in a deep breath. Even though he could sense the power of the purple dimension and do not wish to let such a powerful dimension vanish, this was the Purple Emperor’s decision.


Even if he was reluctant to let go, he could not preserve this dimension.


“Maya, I believe you’ve received a great benefit as well. Let’s go.”


Merlin and Maya immediately flew out of the purple dimension. Both of them stood silently in the Void Zone, watching the purple dimension drift further away. The purple glow grew brighter before finally erupting in scorching flames that instantly swallowed the dimension, burning furiously.


“Shame to lose such a powerful dimension!”


Merlin mumbled softly. A dimension transformed from an ultimate existence after his death was far superior to most dimensions. If one could occupy it, one would certainly gain many benefits.


Moreover, there were many things in the purple dimension which the Purple Emperor might not value highly, yet they were important to Merlin and Maya. However, as the purple dimension burned, all of this had vanished.



“Swoosh.”


Merlin and Maya stood in the Void Zone. The force of Maya’s body had not changed but his face was filled with confidence.


“Maya, I wonder what treasure did you get?”


Merlin asked with a smile. He and Maya had started out as enemies but were compelled to swear an oath in the purple dimension, forming a temporary alliance. Their relations.h.i.+p was a complicated one.


“Haha, what benefits can compare to the Purple Emperor’s inheritance you received? Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about the Purple Emperor’s inheritance. However, I hope you can keep a secret about what I’ve received as well.”


Seeing that Maya was acting so secretive, Merlin became interested. He knew that if the Purple Emperor was willing to give something, it must be extraordinary. Something which made Maya so delighted must be really special.


“Haha, the thing which the Purple Emperor gave me isn’t useful to you Spell Casters at all but to our Golden Light Tribe, it is essential. It’s a ma.s.sive dimension equipped with defensive measures set up by the Purple Emperor himself. Even a Lord would have no way of breaking through, and an ultimate existence would need to make a great effort to break through.”


“A dimension?”


Merlin glanced at the bead in Maya’s hand. Could such a small bead be a dimension?


“This bead is the Dimension Core. With it, I can control the dimension. That dimension is always adrift as well. Add this on to the Purple Emperor’s defensive measures, and our Golden Light Tribe won’t have to fear other foreign tribes anymore. This is even better than our origin place!”


Maya appeared very excited. Although he was already on par with an Honored Legend, he had focused all effort on the Golden Light Tribe. Obtaining such a dimension would allow them to establish a foundation. With this dimension, the Golden Light Tribe could safely develop in the future and might be able to produce an ultimate existence.


However, the Void Zone was filled with various dangers. Back then, the Purple Emperor must have also provided defenses for the Purple Tribe, defenses as powerful as the dimension he created. Nonetheless, after a long period, the Purple Tribe still vanished.


Therefore, even with this dimension, the Golden Light Tribe was not free of worries but at least they were in a better position than before.


“Congratulations, Maya!”


Merlin chortled. Receiving this dimension was indeed significant for Maya. With this dimension, he would not have to clash stubbornly with Merlin.


“Haha, Wizard Merlin has obtained the inheritance. I believe that in the future, you’ll surely become a Great Lord among the Spell Casters or even the mightier ultimate existence! If you need anything, just contact me.”


With that, Maya gave Merlin a unique imprint, which could allow communication with Maya. This was an expression of goodwill.


Merlin nodded and kept the imprint. Following that, Maya turned to leave.



Merlin returned to his eight dimensions. The strange thing was, he did not continue expanding his territory but instead, stayed in his dimension and no longer showed himself.


One year, ten years, fifty years…


The boundless territory seemed to have silently acknowledged Merlin’s forces. The eight dimensions had become the territory of an enigmatic Honored Legend. No foreign tribe dared to provoke him. In the past, Maya of the Golden Light Tribe had previously gone there, but in the end, the matter was organically resolved.


Therefore, the Spell Caster’s forces advanced slightly through these eight dimensions, increasing the size of the Spell Caster’s forces.


“Phew… We’re finally here. This is the most remote dimension of our Spell Caster civilization.”


Three Great Legends, who seemed to have recently condensed one Maxim each, traveled a great distance to get here. They had reached the Spell Caster civilization’s most far-flung dimension in the boundless territory, called the Redfire Dimension.


The Fire Element here was abnormally lively. Many Legends who had condensed a Flame Maxim or Spell Casters interested in Fire Element, liked to visit the Redfire Dimension.


As for the Gerva Dimension, it was forgotten long ago. Gerva was no longer the furthest dimension of the Spell Caster civilization in the boundless territory. In its place was the Redfire Dimension and the other seven dimensions.


“This Redfire Dimension is prosperous.”


A Spell Caster dressed in a blue robe spoke in astonishment.


“Of course. I’ve heard that decades ago, the Redfire Dimension belonged to foreign tribes but a Great Honored Legend among our Spell Casters seized eight dimensions in one fell swoop, managing to control them all. Therefore, our Spell Caster civilization is able to penetrate so deeply into the boundless territory.”


Some Spell Casters who came to the Redfire Dimension understood the situation here. Although more often than not they were incorrect, nevertheless, it was all centered around a mysterious Honored Legend.


These eight dimensions were controlled by that mysterious Honored Legend!


“An Honored Legend… We came to the boundless territory this time to control dimensions, then use the Elemental Origin. We might consolidate an ultimate Maxim as well, becoming an Honored Legend!”


“Haha, how can it be that easy to become an Honored Legend? There’s more hope of controlling dimensions to condense one or two more Maxims. In the boundless territory, no one needs to fear anything. The foreign tribes are afraid of our Spell Caster civilization.”


The eyes of these Legendary Wizards were filled with hope. Spell Casters who had just arrived in the boundless territory had the same gaze, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with antic.i.p.ation and immense confidence.


“That’s right. In the boundless territory, the Spell Caster faction is the strongest, and we don’t have to fear anything.”


These Legendary Wizards did not realize that, before coming to the Redfire Dimension, they were still cautious and prudent, but now, they all bore a manner of unparalleled confidence.


“Hah… Human emotions!”


A sudden exclamation rang out but no one seemed to have heard it.


In a castle in the Redfire Dimension, Merlin, dressed in a black robe, wore a helpless expression.


“It’s been fifty years. All eight dimensions are covered by my Hallucinating spell. Anyone who steps into any of these dimensions would fall into the illusion unwittingly.”


It turned out that Merlin had spread his Hallucinating spell over the eight dimensions, and no one had noticed it. This was rather scary.


Furthermore, the only thing that Merlin had been doing during the past fifty years was to observe the emotional changes of the Spell Casters in the illusions.


Merlin was contemplating the human spirit!


This was because the Illusory Heart could control an enemy’s spirit. It was the second stage of the Hallucinating spells’ three main stages, second only to condensing an Illusory World. To control an enemy’s spirit, one must first understand the human spirit incisively.


In these years, Merlin had been observing and understanding the human spirit. Anyone who stepped in his eight dimensions would experience gradual changes in their emotions.


Based on so many years of observation, Merlin could almost feel that the realm of the Illusory Heart was within his reach. Nonetheless, he was unable to level up successfully as if still lacking something.


“t.i.tus still hasn’t moved…”


Merlin even thought about asking t.i.tus but t.i.tus was already lost completely in the stage of materialization of the Hallucinating spell. Up until now, he had not moved at all. No matter how Merlin called to him, it was useless.


Merlin’s Mind Power was so tremendous now that he was easily able to command even eight dimensions.


Just as Merlin prepared to continue his meditation, hoping to find an entry point into the stage of the Illusory Heart through the illusion, a peculiar fluctuation pa.s.sed over the eight dimensions.


“Summoned by Setoh Arcane City?”


Merlin could distinctly sense this strange fluctuation. This was Arcane Wizard Setoh of Setoh Arcane City using the power of the natural order to summon the Spell Casters of Setoh Arcane City.


Only Wizards above the level of Legends could sense this!


Merlin was somewhat reluctant to part with these eight dimensions. After all, perhaps in some time, he might be able to successfully break through to the stage of the Illusory Heart. However, no Spell Caster could reject being summoned by an Arcane Wizard.


“I wonder what’s happened now. Fine then, I’ll withdraw my Hallucinating spell and return to Arcane City!”


Merlin instantly dispersed the illusion which enveloped the eight dimensions. Many Wizards only felt that something was different but they were unable to point out what happened exactly.


Nonetheless, in that instant, many Legendary Wizards received the same mysterious fluctuation, the summoning from an Arcane Wizard. Therefore, Spell Casters above the level of Legend from the mighty Spell Caster civilization seemed to drop in numbers all at once, and the boundless territory became deserted.
