“Thump thump thump.”

A burst of noisy footsteps sounded outside Merlin’s house. Wizard Luce hurried over as if there was something urgent.

Merlin, who was in the first step of perfecting the Mind Power system, had his Mind Power constantly shrouding the house, so he already knew that it was Wizard Luce when he appeared.

“Illusion!”

Merlin remained unmoved. The tremendous Mind Power was like the spring breeze and drizzle, and quickly and quietly created an illusion.

“Bang!”

Wizard Luce slammed open the door, and hurriedly shouted, “Wizard Merlin!”

“Wizard Merlin, what happened?”

When Wizard Luce had entered the room, he “saw” Merlin lying on the ground, motionless and cold. Seeing Merlin in this state, Wizard Luce’s face greatly changed. He felt the life force on Merlin’s body suddenly disappear.

“Wizard Merlin... How could you have died?”

Wizard Luce was very shocked. How could a powerful Spell Caster die for no reason? Perhaps, if a Spell Model collapsed, it could let Merlin die quietly, but how would the Spell Model of a genius Spell Caster be unstable?

“Wizard Luce!”

Merlin also revealed a smile after seeing that Wizard Luce had fallen into the illusion. Then, he withdrew his Mind Power and tore off the illusion.

To be able to let a Ninth-level Spell Caster like Wizard Luce imperceptibly fall into the illusion served to show that Merlin’s illusion had already reached a certain level.

Of course, although Wizard Luce was a Ninth-level Spell Caster, he had not formed a Mind Heart yet, so he would easily fall into an illusion. When he had formed a Mind Heart, it would be difficult for him to fall into an illusion again.

At the very least, at Merlin’s current illusion level, it would be hard to trap Foba and the others. However, this was only Merlin’s first step in perfecting the Mind Power system. It was already quite good to have this level of Hallucinating spells.

“Wizard Merlin, what...”

Luce suddenly discovered that the Merlin he had seen before had disappeared, and was behind him instead.

“It’s nothing. I had some understanding of Mind Power, so I just used a Hallucinating spell.”

“Mind Power Hallucinating spell?”

Wizard Luce’s expression was slightly frozen. It was not surprising that he did not sense it at all. If it were Hallucinating spells from Darkness-type spells, it would not be able to let him fall into the illusion no matter what. However, Mind Power Hallucinating spells were silent, and he had fallen into it without even realizing. It was incredibly terrifying.

However, Wizard Luce seemed to have something important to do now. He put those thoughts aside and hurriedly said, “Wizard Merlin, something has happened!”

“Something has happened? Have the Spell Casters arrived?”

Merlin raised his head to ask. After so many days of waiting, if he had calculated, perhaps the fastest Spell Caster might have reached the Gigula Tribe.

“Uh... It’s not the Spell Casters but foreign tribes! You’ll know once you go out and look...”

Wizard Luce’s expression was also grave. The matter should be quite serious.

Merlin nodded, and stood up before following Wizard Luce out of the house. In the Gigula Tribe these days, what Merlin had heard of the most were these “foreign tribes”. It seemed that these foreign tribes had become a nightmare for the Gigula Tribe.

...

“They’re here again... D*mn it, the Two-headed Tribe brought two hundred Two-headed People, led by ten Three-headed People. Such a large scale... We’re in danger this time!”

Seeing the mighty foreign tribe troops on the ground, Elder Foba and the three other Elders’ expressions grew pale. It was the first time they had encountered such a large number of Two-headed People. In the past, when only several Three-headed People brought a few dozen Two-headed People, they still suffered greatly, not knowing how many of their tribe members would be taken away.

This time, such a large force was dispatched. The entire Gigula Tribe would face extinction!

“Elder Foba, have you notified the other two Spell Casters? Let them leave quickly, and take some of the young ones with them. They’re Spell Casters, and can definitely enter Spellcast City. As long as they enter Spellcast City, they’ll be safe! Our Gigula Tribe will still live on...”

The Elder’s eyes could not help but reveal a trace of sadness. They had never thought of any miracle. After all, these Two-headed People’s manpower was endless. Having an extra head was like having an extra life.

As for Mind Power Masters, they basically had no combat capabilities before forming a Mind Heart because their Mind Power would not be able to interfere with the material world. They had no way to resist the ferocious foreign tribes.

Thus, the Gigula Tribe’s only Seventh-level and above Elders immediately made measures to preserve the tribe’s bloodline after seeing the Two-headed People.

...

Among the mighty Two-headed Tribe troops, the ten Three-headed People stood in the front. They were at least five hundred years old to have been able to become a Three-headed Person.

The Two-headed Tribe was very strange, and it seemed like they did not have to cultivate. They were born with only one head and were very weak. However, after a hundred years or so, they would grow their second head and be considered an adult Two-headed Person.

However, it took five hundred years to grow a third head, and a thousand years to grow a fourth. There was still a fifth head, a sixth head, and so on, but the time required was even longer.

Thus, if the Two-headed People wanted to become powerful, they had to live long!

“We’re lucky to have been chosen by the Great King this time. We have to capture a few weak Spell Casters. The King loves delicious Spell Casters the most. The younger girls among the Spell Casters are the King’s favorite!”

“Yeah, helpless and weak little Spell Casters. I really don’t know why they’re so difficult to deal with outside. I heard that outside the Slothful Beast world, Spell Casters are a powerful civilization. They’re so weak here, so how did they become a powerful civilization?”

These Three-headed People did not understand. The Spell Casters they had encountered in the Slothful Beast world was extremely cowardly and weak. Any Two-headed Person would be able to capture a large number of Spell Casters.

Only those Seventh-level Mind Power Masters were slightly stronger, but the threat they posed was also very limited. Once the ten Three-headed People started taking action, it was enough to wipe out several small surrounding tribes.

“The Great King has already lived for thousands of years, and is about to grow his fifth head. At that time, our Two-headed Tribe will become the strongest Tribe in the entire Slothful Beast world! This time, we definitely need to wipe out a few Spell Caster tribes to provide nutrition to the Great King.”

A trace of pride was revealed on the Three-headed People’s faces after mentioning their “King”, who was their pride. Once their Great “King” grew the fifth head, the power of the Two-headed Tribe would expand dramatically, and become one of the strongest tribes.

“Leaders, we’ve found a Spell Caster tribe in front. Their numbers are around two thousand.”

The Two-headed Person who scouted ahead quickly rushed back to report.

“Oh, two thousand people? It looks like a small tribe, but we’ll be able to catch many Spell Casters. I believe the Great King would be thrilled. Let’s hasten our pace and charge forward!”

The ten Three-headed People were very excited after hearing the news. They had found a tribe of two thousand people so quickly. Although it was a small tribe, it was already a very good beginning. They believed that with this beginning, their raid this time would yield very good results.

Thus, the few hundred Two-headed People roused their morale, and swiftly charged to the front.

...

“We’ve been discovered. There’s no chance left...”

Seeing the Two-headed People in front increasing their speed, Elder Foba knew that they must have discovered the tribe. Their only wish had been dashed.

“Don’t hesitate, Foba. Take the younglings in the Tribe as well as Wizard Merlin and Wizard Luce. Leave the tribe quickly and escape to Spellcast City. We’ll hold them back here. We’ll at least be able to buy you some time!”

Elder Foba opened his mouth but no words came out. This was a way out that they had already discussed.

“Elder Foba!”

At this time, Merlin and Wizard Luce came out of the house.

“Elder Foba, I heard that a foreign tribe came. What foreign tribe is it?”

Merlin asked softly.

“Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, look for yourself. It’s the Two-headed Tribe! They’re ferocious by nature, and extremely strong. There are hundreds of them, led by ten Three-headed People. Our Gigula Tribe will be destroyed! Therefore, we beseech you two Wizards to bring the young children of our tribe, and leave quickly! Elder Foba will lead the way. I hope the two Wizards will help these poor children and enter Spellcast City!”

The eyes of the three Elders were full of sadness and despair. Facing the hundreds of Two-headed People in front of them against the two thousand people of their Gigula Tribe, they had completely lost the will to resist. Despair spread within the tribe.

“Two-headed People?”

Merlin frowned. He had heard of this name before, and after thinking carefully, he remembered it being mentioned by the Spell Casters in Arcane City. The Two-headed Tribe was a relatively weak foreign tribe. They adhered to a powerful foreign civilization, and the strongest among them was only a Six-headed leader, who was only equivalent to an ordinary Legend.

Under the leadership of a slightly stronger ordinary Legend, the Two-headed Tribe could be easily destroyed.

However, in the Slothful Beast world, the weak Two-headed Tribe had made the Spell Caster civilization live in constant panic. Hundreds of Two-headed People could easily destroy thousands of tribes.

This was something simply unimaginable in the Spell Caster civilization!

“In a world without Elements, the fate of Spell Casters is worse than that of the weakest civilization...”

Merlin muttered under his breath. For the first time, he felt how lucky it was for the Spell Caster civilization to step out from the Glorious Land, and set foot in billions of dimensions.

“They’re here, they’re coming! Wizards, please hurry up and leave. Elder Foba, take these two Wizards away!”

The three Elders saw the Two-headed People in front of him charging toward the tribe to massacre them. Ordinary people, as long as they were not Seventh-level Mind Power Masters, could hardly resist these ferocious Two-headed People.

“Wizard Luce, let’s do it. Leave none alive!”

Merlin raised his head, and looked at the Two-headed People in front of them, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
