Chapter 625 - The Seventh Form

Chapter 625: The Seventh Form

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“So, this is the seventh form of Darkness Eye!”

Merlin’s consciousness was battered by an endless onslaught of negative emotions. An average Spell Caster or even a Spell Caster who had consolidated a Mind Heart, would not be able to withstand it.

Only those Spell Casters whose consciousness had been taken control, and became puppets would be able to withstand the onslaught of negative emotions, hence successfully cultivating the seventh form of Darkness Eye.

It was not surprising that despite the Legend of Darkness’ unwillingness, he still handed over the cultivation method of Darkness Eye, and did not try to interfere. That was because the final step of cultivating the seventh form of Darkness Eye was already inherently filled with unimaginable danger, almost to the point of death.

Perhaps, the Legend of Darkness Oflas was currently waiting for Merlin to cultivate the seventh form of Darkness Eye as soon as possible so that when the onslaught of negative emotions hit, Merlin’s consciousness would collapse, and no longer exist.

“The real danger is actually right here... Too bad, Legend of Darkness Oflas, you probably didn’t expect that someone managed to perfect the Mind Power system to this extent, right?”

A smile quirked up around the corners of Merlin’s mouth. The sudden onslaught of negative emotions was indeed terrifying. With just a tiny lapse in concentration, even a Spell Caster who had reached the second step of Hallucinating spells like the Blackfire Lord would not be able to withstand it.

Merlin, on the other hand, had graduated to the third step of Hallucinating spells, and was an entire tier above almost all the other Mind Power Masters. Therefore, though these negative emotions were more than ten times stronger than what he had ever felt before, they only gave Merlin a vague feeling of impact. His enormous Mind Power had suppressed them firmly, and the negative emotions vanished without a trace.

“Darkness Eye, Silencing Ray!”

Merlin fiercely opened his eyes. Behind him, the strange giant crimson eye appeared to blink open, then shot out rays of crimson lights, violently ricocheting around the secret chamber.

“Rumble.”

The entire secret chamber shook strongly, but soon, a magical pulse stabilized it. This was, after all, Arcane Wizard Setoh’s castle, so it was impossible for even the most preeminent Great Wizard to destabilize the castle.

Right now, the secret chamber was shaken. This spoke volumes of Merlin’s Darkness Eye. The seventh form, Silencing Ray, truly was comparable to the power of a Great Legend!

“It’s time to go out. I wonder what has happened outside?”

There was a smile on Merlin’s mouth. He was very satisfied with the seventh form of Darkness Eye. He was also the first Wizard who had successfully cultivated Darkness Eye without being controlled by the Legend of Darkness. Perhaps, even the Legend of Darkness Oflas did not know how Merlin managed to cultivate the seventh form of Darkness Eye.

So, with a wave of his hand, Merlin opened the secret chamber. Immediately, a black figure flew straight at him.

“Meow.”

The black cat Didimoss, as fat as a large dog, flew toward Merlin. Looking at the secret chamber with a puzzled expression, he asked Merlin, “What happened earlier? Your secret chamber was shaking. This is the old fart Setoh’s castle, it’s practically impossible to leave even a scratch on it.”

“It’s nothing.”

Merlin shook his head gently, and did not explain. Instead, he asked Didimoss, “Where are Teacher Blackfire and Arcane Wizard Setoh?”

He noted that the Blackfire Lord’s figure was nowhere to be seen in the main foyer.

The black cat Didimoss replied unconcernedly, “Hehe, what else, of course they’re at the front line. While you were in the secret chamber, there has been a lot of changes at the front line. I heard that the Rock Tribe had begun moving again. Two days ago, the Blackfire Lord and Setoh hurried there.”

“The Rock Tribe is making another move?”

Merlin frowned slightly. He had spent several months in the secret chamber. Seeing that the Rock Tribe had been quiet for so long, they must have been gathering their strength and were ready to start all over again. He did not expect that the battle would resume so soon.

“If there are changes at the front line, then I’ll leave now. Do you know how to leave this castle?”

Setoh Castle was not a place that anyone could just come and go as they liked. Without Arcane Wizard Setoh’s permission, even a Great Lord would not be able to enter and exit.

The black cat Didimoss pointed at the main door. “Don’t worry, you can enter and leave Setoh Castle at any time. That old fart had already given you permission. You won’t encounter any problems entering and leaving this castle.”

Merlin was doubtful but he headed directly toward the door.

“Creak.”

Sure enough, the door seemed to be slightly sentient. As Merlin approached, the door slowly swung open. Merlin glanced at the sky outside, and took a step out. Then, he immediately flew away from the Alabaster Dimension.

...

Outside the Seely Dimension, there was a huge castle suspended awkwardly in the middle of the Void Zone. It was very conspicuous. Nevertheless, many Spell Casters looked at this castle with reverence in their eyes. Not only was it a very powerful casting tool but it was also the temporary command center of Arcane Wizard Setoh, one of the three greatest Ultimate Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization. In the entire Seely Dimension, the Spell Casters almost no longer had any room to maneuver. It was once again occupied by the Rock Tribe.

This time, the Spell Casters also gathered almost all the powerful Wizards at the front line. This upcoming battle with the Rock Tribe was inevitable!

In the splendid golden foyer, Arcane Wizard Setoh was sitting on a big chair while the four Great Lords, namely the Blackfire Lord, the Arctic Lord, the Sorrow Lord, and the Nightmare Lord flanked his two sides.

Further down, there was another eighteen Honored Legends and more than a hundred Great Legends. Certainly, this was not the most powerful force of the entire Spell Caster civilization but it was a considerably strong force.

This was also the first line of attack in the war against the Rock Tribe with Arcane Wizard Setoh guarding the front line. Usually, a civilization war would be guarded by only one Ultimate Arcane Wizard. After all, the Spell Caster civilization did not only have the Rock Tribe as their enemies, so the other two Ultimate Arcane Wizards would stay guard in different places.

Although there were only four Great Lords present, Arcane Wizard Setoh himself had many avatars, each of which was comparable to the most preeminent Great Lord. Therefore, besides a foreign tribe civilization, this force was completely undefeatable by any Spell Caster force.

At this moment, however, all these Wizards wore a somber expression, like something big had occurred.

“Everyone, I’m sure all of you know by now know that the Rock Tribe has dispatched their civilization-level prodigies. This is the strongest force that can be used before triggering a civilization war! The Seely Dimension has now been re-occupied by the Rock Tribe. I believe that they must be hiding a few more civilization-level prodigies. I estimate there may be three or four civilization-level prodigies!”

Arcane Wizard Setoh swept a glance across the numerous Great Legends below him. The most basic element of a civilization war was the involvement of Great Legends in the fight. That would mark the beginning of a civilization war.

A civilization war was something that no civilization would wish to happen. Even the Rock Tribe only wanted to consume a few Spell Caster dimensions before the civilization war erupted, so that they would have a wider passage into the Void Zone.

In reality, the Rock Tribe was situated in a very awkward position. The Void Zone situated behind them was a very dangerous and chaotic territory. Furthermore, there were numerous horrible creatures that were surviving in the Void Zone. The dimensions located in the Void Zone were unstable and only contained half-formed dimensions which were incomplete. Hence, the Rock Tribe did not dare to venture into the dimensions behind them.

As such, they could only venture into their surroundings. However, their surroundings on the left and right were occupied by the powerful God Alliance. Although the God Alliance was not very united, it still comprised of the eight largest god organizations, which would make any civilization wary. If a civilization war was triggered, and the eight largest god organization managed to unite, the Rock Tribe civilization would not be able to resist them.

Therefore, the only remaining alternative was the Spell Caster civilization. Breaking past the Spell Caster civilization was their only hope!

However, the Spell Caster civilization was also in a precarious situation. They were surrounded by powerful foreign tribe civilizations everywhere. So, if they allowed the Rock Tribe to advance forward, and clear open a passageway, then in the long run, the Spell Caster civilization would be in greater danger.

Both major civilizations had their own reasons for not being able to retreat as the implications involved the survival and development of the entire civilization. More often than not, the brutal civilization wars were driven by such inescapable circumstances.

“We also have Civilization-level prodigies! Great Wizard Setoh, the civilization-level prodigies from the three great Arcane Cities must’ve arrived, right?”

An Honored Legend could not help but ask. A civilization-level prodigy was an important key in determining the outcome of a war, in circumstances preceding a civilization war.

“Of course, they’ve arrived. Yad, Courtney, Sven, come out.”

A faint smile appeared on Wizard Setoh’s face as he called loudly.

From behind the main foyer, three Spell Casters emerged. Seeing these three Spell Casters, all the Great Legends in the foyer descended into discussions with one another.

These three were not ordinary Spell Casters but civilization-level prodigies nurtured by the three great Arcane Cities. They were the most powerful prodigies in the three great Arcane Cities, and perhaps throughout the entire Spell Caster civilization.

In order to become a civilization-level prodigy, they would have to be able to compete against a Great Legend. Furthermore, these three did not merely have the ability to compete against Great Legends ¹ but held an impressive track record of defeating ordinary Legends.

All these were despite being only Great Wizards!

“Alright, alright, the civilization-level prodigies from the three great Arcane Cities have arrived. It’s time for the final battle. You must obliterate the fantasy of the Rock Tribe and let them know that it may be dangerous to provoke the God Alliance but the Spell Caster civilization isn’t easy to be provoked either! They better retreat quietly, and not harbor any other intentions.”

“Yes, the Rock Tribe thought that they could find a breakthrough point via the Spell Caster civilization. Hmph, did they think it would be easy? It’s absolutely impossible to allow them to advance even a single step further. So, this time, we must completely destroy their fantasy!”

All the Great Legends held high esteems of the civilization-level prodigies from the three great Arcane Cities.

“Wizard Yad, Wizard Courtney, do you see that? The Great Legends have placed their confidence in you. Let’s have the two of you go to the Seely Dimension first, and viciously strike the Rock Tribe’s arrogance. We’ll have them know that their civilization-level prodigies are still far behind!”

The two chosen civilization-level prodigies stood up, and gave a curt bow to Arcane Wizard Setoh. In a deep voice, they said, “Great Wizard Setoh, we’ll defeat the civilization-level prodigies of the Rock Tribe, and regain control over the Seely Dimension.”

“Very well, go now. The Great Legends will watch you from here.”

Subsequently, the two civilization-level prodigies swiftly departed from the castle, and flew toward the Seely Dimension. In the castle, Arcane Wizard Setoh waved his hand, and an image appeared in the foyer. It was the two civilization-level prodigy Wizards.

This was the first final battle with the Rock Tribe as well as a battle of the foundations of two great civilizations. Thus, even the Great Legend would not sit idly but instead, watch the image closely.
