A Wizard's Secret

"My Neverending Book!"

A greedy glare shone from Wizard Ubik's face to the point where he did not even give the mysterious woman much attention and had run forward carelessly, his body flickering with violent Elemental fluctuations.

"Scram!"

The mysterious woman shot a casual glance at the Neverending Book on the ground, then lifted her head, extended her hand and pointed at Ubik.

"Crackle crackle."

Streams of ice crystals appeared in midair, turning into hair-like ice threads that were sparkling and crystalline, they held a certain beauty but also radiated a strange terrifying aura.

The multitude of ice threads was incomparably sharp. They covered the area, hanging in midair, just like a web would and slashed down viciously at Ubik.

"Crack."

Wizard Ubik initially had a layer of Defensive spell over him that covered his entire body, and he seemed to be wearing a Defensive robe as well. However, at this moment, under the sparkling and crystalline ice threads, these defensive measures were of no use at all. Without any warning, his whole body was slashed into countless pieces.

In an instant, the acrid smell of blood pervaded the air. The atmosphere had fallen into complete silence, including Wizard Sabis, Wizard Gill, and the two Spell Casters who had suddenly appeared. They had all stopped what they were doing with an astounded look on their face, fixing their gaze on this mysterious woman who wore a black hat.

Ubik had been a bona fide Fourth-level Spell Caster. Although he was an average one, in this crowd of Spell Casters, Ubik could definitely be considered as an extremely powerful Spell Caster.

However, Wizard Ubik who had been this powerful was killed in one attack from this mysterious woman whose origins were unknown, making the other Spell Casters shift uneasily.

"Black hat, feather… I know who she is! She's one of the most ruthless Spell Casters in Ozmu, Bluebird!"

At last, the two mysterious Fourth-level Spell Casters divulged the identity of the mysterious woman. It was the gifted Spell Caster Bluebird from Ozmu, the mere mention of her name would turn people pale.

If it was said that Weiss was one of the Third-level Spell Caster whose capability was relatively stronger in Ozmu, then Bluebird would be presented as one of the most terrifying Third-level Spell Caster. Naturally, her powers were even stronger than Weiss.

In the past, Bluebird had slain a Spell Caster clan that had four Fourth-level Wizards all by herself. She went on to massacre every Spell Caster in the clan without sparing anyone, not even the Normies. Since then, this act had secured her terrifying reputation and she was called one of the most ruthless Spell Casters in Ozmu.

In Ozmu, they would only dispatch Third-level Spell Casters when dealing with most Spell Caster clans. Only when they were facing a few Spell Caster organizations or one powerful Spell Caster organization would they send out Spell Casters who were Fourth-level and above.

Therefore, though Bluebird was just a Third-level Spell Caster, in the eyes of many Spell Caster clans and roaming Wizards, she was the frightening and powerful Bluebird whom no one was willing to provoke.

"Bluebird, what is she here for? Did she come for the Neverending Book?"

Looking at this woman who looked so pretty but was the legendary Bluebird who had garnered a fierce reputation in Ozmu, Wizard Rhind felt his heart tighten slightly.

Even if he was facing Ubik, Sabis, or even these Fourth-level Spell Casters, Rhind would not be as nervous as he was now, as he had already planned out his countermove.

If Bluebird had come because of the Neverending Book, then there was no possibility that the Shadison clan would be able to hold on to the Neverending Book any longer.

However, Bluebird's gaze did not land on the Neverending Book on the ground at all. Her eyes were constantly sweeping across the crowd as if she was looking for something.

Finally, her gaze fixed onto a figure that was wearing a long Wizard robe…

…

"This woman… how terrifying and powerful!"

Shireen, who was leading Haya, Emily, Emma, and the other Spell Casters to somewhere safer, surreptitiously observed Bluebird who had appeared in Shadison Manor.

They had previously witnessed the frightening battle between the Fourth-level Spell Casters with their own eyes. Every spell seemed able to easily destroy an entire war fort. Spells like those were already at an inconceivable level of power to them, as if such spells could never be defeated.

However, the mysterious woman who did not seem to be a Fourth-level Spell Caster had appeared now and was able to easily kill the powerful Fourth-level Spell Caster Ubik with a single gesture of her hand.

At this point, these newbie Wizards who had never traveled far away and only stayed quietly in their clans truly understood that even low-level Spell Casters could have such a terrifying extent of power.

"Who is Bluebird looking for?"

Shireen wrinkled her brow. She saw that the powerful Bluebird took no notice of the Neverending Book on the ground, but instead had lifted her gaze as if she was continually looking for something.

All of a sudden, Bluebird's eyes focused slightly, zeroing in on a figure in the crowd. Shireen followed Bluebird's gaze.

"That… that is the Wizard Merlin whom we met on our way here?"

Shireen stared in bewilderment and uncertainty at the black-robed Wizard in the crowd. Was Bluebirds' target Wizard Merlin all along?

Shireen did not notice at all that Emma was beside her and upon seeing the black-robed figure in the crowd, broke out into an overjoyed smile that was filled with disbelief…

…

"Merlin, come on out!"

A cold smile tugged at the corner of the aloof Bluebird's mouth as her eyes fixed firmly onto Merlin in the crowd.

Laurinka felt a jolt in her heart and looked anxiously at Merlin beside her. It was not just Laurinka, almost all of the Spell Casters were now looking towards Merlin.

After knowing that this mysterious woman was the infamously terrifying Bluebird, these Spell Casters no longer dared to make a move. They knew that with the arrival of Bluebird, no one would be able to take away the Neverending Book.

However, it turned out that Bluebird's target was not the Neverending Book, but she was here to look for Merlin.

Conversely, Merlin appeared to be rather taken aback. He immediately thought of Weiss - back then he had killed Weiss in Floating City. He should have known that those from Ozmu would not leave the matter at that.

However, in the past, the people from Ozmu would spare no effort in enticing genuine prodigies, yet looking at Bluebird who wore a grim expression, she did not appear to be trying to entice Merlin at all.

Seeing that Merlin had gradually come out from the crowd, a smirk slowly grew on Bluebird's face but it was an icy smile which could strike great fear in the depths of everyone's heart.

"Merlin, I've searched all the way from Floating City to here… Although I've spent quite a long time, it was worth it just to find you!"

Her frosty tone revealed a strain of murderous intent.

Merlin frowned slightly. "It's Ozmu who sent you to kill me?"

After the changes that happened in the Dark Magic Region, Merlin had also made careful inquiries about matters regarding Ozmu. He discovered that Ozmu was a really remarkable organization. They seemed to be on bad terms with every Spell Caster organization and were always on the hunt for prodigious Spell Casters.

Not even the large Spell Caster organizations knew how many powerful Spell Casters there were in Ozmu. It was precisely due to Ozmu's deep and far-reaching inner workings that they were able to hold off a few large Spell Caster organizations simultaneously.

As for Ozmu's method of operation, it seemed that they particularly valued gifted Spell Casters, especially those who were not roped in by any organizations yet. They would entice these Spell Casters by any means necessary and there would never be a situation where they sent out people to kill off these gifted Spell Casters.

Even if it was a Wizard who belonged to an adversarial Spell Caster organization, even if it was a prodigious Wizard who had just killed a Spell Caster from Ozmu, as long as they were willing to become Ozmu's member, Ozmu would accept them with open arms.

Now that Merlin had revealed his identity as a Six-Elemental Spell Caster, in addition to possessing Demon Abilities, it was impossible that Ozmu would not have noticed him. Merlin was even prepared if someone from Ozmu had come forward to tempt him into joining, he wanted to see what Ozmu would have used in order to attract so many gifted Spell Casters who did not hesitate even for a moment to turn their backs on their own Spell Caster organizations.

However, facing this mysterious woman Bluebird currently, her intent to kill was clearly shown all over her body. She did not even try to conceal this intention.

"You can never join Ozmu!"

Bluebird barked out a cold laugh. Following that, violent Elemental fluctuations exploded from her body. In that instant, Merlin seemed to have been placed in a field of ice and snow, feeling that an endless amount of Ice Element was descending in a flash!
