A Wizard's Secret

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The fourth form of Darkness Eyes continued to consume Merlin's power of the Maxim. Fortunately, Merlin's Thunder Maxim was enormous. Even if it continued to use the fourth form of the Darkness Eye, Thunder Maxim would not be drained.

The huge ghostly face confronted the wicked god which was hovering mid-air. At the same time, Merlin whispered, "Control."

"Whoosh."

A flash of bloody light turned into a blood red net, which instantly enveloped the wicked god's apparition. The wicked god seemed to be a little astonished, as the wicked god's consciousness was just born and was only capable of instinctive action.

The wicked god instinctively felt threatened and it began to struggle fiercely. A deep roar sounded and at that very moment, a trace of silver radiance shrouded the wicked god's apparition. The divine power within the depths of his body was also being released with a hint of force. Merlin's crimson light immediately felt the pressure. It was as if it was going to be broken.

The ghostly face behind Merlin was also constantly changing and twisting. The shrieking sound emitted by it was enough to cause palpitations. Merlin clearly felt that the Darkness Eye was facing tremendous threats and pressure.

This was the first time it had happened. In the past, Merlin's fourth form of Darkness Eyes had always been invincible. It did not matter if the opposition escaped, as that would only be done out of fear. Merlin still held absolute advantage over the situation.

In a sense, Merlin had become accustomed to relying on the Darkness Eye. When there was a threat that cannot be resolved, he would exert the fourth form of the Darkness Eye. Even Merlin himself did not realize his dependence on the Darkness Eye till now.

He finally noticed this because for the first time ever, the Darkness Eye was gravely threatened. The wicked god's apparition seemed to be able to easily break Merlin's Darkness Eye and cause severe damage to the Darkness Eye.

The fourth form of Darkness Eyes could not cause any serious damage to the wicked god. Instead, it was the wicked god's apparition that could easily break the Darkness Eye.

"Rip."

Soon, the crimson light of the Darkness Eye began to shatter. Merlin could only bite his lips and support stubbornly. The Darkness Eye in his palm with its constant swaying turned an even eerier color, as though it had reached its ultimate limit.

"Haliadora!"

The crazed believers of the wicked god began to cheer loudly. Followed by their cheer was faint traces of the power of faith in their bodies which directly merged into the wicked god's apparition. Originally, Merlin's Darkness Eye could still greatly influence the wicked god's apparition and weakened it. However, now with the contribution of the power of faith, the power of the wicked god suddenly became stronger.

Even the "control" of Merlin's fourth form of Darkness Eyes could not isolate the power of faith. This showed that the true power of the wicked god's apparition had surpassed the fourth form of the Darkness Eye.

"No, it can't go on like this. I'm afraid it's difficult for us to even escape! Wizard Dara, I'll hold the wicked god's apparition while you hurry to the east and kill those wicked god's believers. They are constantly fueling more power of faith to the wicked god. Only by killing them, the wicked god will not have a steady stream of power. Only then, will we have hope!"

Merlin also noticed the wicked god was constantly absorbing the power of faith. A god with endless power of faith was horrible. It would be difficult to deal with no matter how weak it was.

Unless, the source of faith was completely cut off so that the wicked god would be depleted of his source of power. Then when he consumes a little power, he would lose that power. At that time, Wizard Merlin and Dara could then join forces to overwhelm the wicked god's apparition.

Wizard Dara had suffered some minor injuries previously from the wicked god but it was nothing serious. He glanced at Merlin, who was deadlocked with the wicked god's apparition, and knew that Merlin was in a very dangerous situation now.

Without further hesitation, Master Dara set his body alight with raging flames.

"Star Fire! "

Master Dala shouted and the disc-shaped casting tool in his hand shot out a white light with some mysterious flickering runes, turning the space into a starry sky.

"Boom"

The surging Star Flame came instantly like a tidal wave. In the blink of an eye, the wicked god's believers were drowned in flames. As Merlin had the wicked god's apparition in containment, these wicked god's believers could no longer receive the wicked god's protection. No one could withstand Wizard Dara's Star Fire with only those shimmering silver lights.

In the raging flames, those wicked god's believers were still shouting, Haliadora!

Unfortunately, the wicked god's apparition could no longer shelter them. The remaining hundred or so wicked god's believers could only be burned to ashes within Star Flame.

As the wicked god's believers reduced one by one, Merlin could clearly feel the power of the wicked god growing weaker and weaker. The longer his Darkness Eyes persist, the weaker the wicked god's power.

Sometime after, Merlin peeked on the flame that was still burning but there was already no life force in it. Moreover, there was not a shred of the power of faith in the body of the wicked god.

All of the wicked god's believers are dead!

"Rip"

Finally, Merlin's Darkness Eyes were broken, the crimson light torn open with a big gaping hole. The huge ghostly face that had risen from the top of Merlin's head also appeared to suffer a heavy injury and it screamed before collapsing instantly.

The crimson light of the Darkness Eyes in Merlin's palm had dimmed greatlyMerlin could clearly tell that the Darkness Eyes had indeed suffered a heavy injury. This was the first time Darkness Eyes suffered a heavy injury ever since Merlin had obtained it.

Once the Darkness Eyes broke, Merlin could finally feel a terrifying omnipresent pressure which had almost suffocated him.

"Enervating Halo! "

Merlin dare not be careless. To be able to break Darkness Eyes showed just how powerful the wicked god was. Although he had worn down a large part of the wicked god's power, Merlin was still not a suitable opponent for the wicked god.

The appearance of the Enervating Halo allowed Merlin to catch his breath but very soon, the wicked god raised its hands again and pressed downwards. Suddenly, Merlin felt an invisible force as if it was trying to crush him into fine powder.

"Snap!"

Even the Enervating Halo could not withstand it!

"That's too powerful. Go, go, go!"

Merlin did not hesitate but his expression had changed. How would he dare to hold on when the Enervating Halo could not even withstand the force? He immediately released Traceless Wind and transformed into a light breeze, quickly drifting afar.

.

After moving about a distance of a hundred meters from the wicked god, he felt that the pressure was gradually alleviating and it eventually disappeared completely.

"Huh? A distance of a hundred meters is safe? The wicked god did not chase after us!"

Merlin saw that the wicked god did not chase after them and his face a look of astonishment while Wizard Dara's eyes had a meaningful gleam. He said with a low voice, "Great, it seems that although the wicked god can get out of the carrier, but it could not stray too far. Hence, it did not dare to chase us, which gives us an opportunity!"

What Wizard Dara meant by that was to consume and waste away the wicked god apparition's power as both of their spells could cover a hundred meters effortlessly. .

Perhaps, if the believers of the wicked god were still around, it would not be bothered by the hundred meters distance as it would have the power of faith would constantly increase its power.

However, the believers of the wicked god in the temple were all killed by Wizard Dara. The power of the wicked god lessened the more it used it. So, naturally, it would not dare to leave the statue too far.

This was the opportunity for Wizard Dara and Merlin.

"Thunder Realm!"

"Star Flame!"

Merlin and Wizard Dara casted their most powerful attacking spells. The flames that filled the sky burned wildly and the starlight seemed to integrate into the flame, increasing the power exponentially.

Merlin's Thunder Realm conjured thunders the thickness of an arm bearing a horrible power of destruction. Both thunder and flame possessed incomparable attacking and destructive power were simultaneously unleashed onto the wicked god.

.

Soon, the spirit of the wicked god grew weaker and the silver light grew dimmer. This was the sign that the power of the wicked god was being used up, and a sign of weakening.

"Destructive Flame!"

Merlin casted a variety of spells, all the while paying attention to the compatibility between the Fire-type spells and the Thunder-type spells in an effort to fuse the two spells.

However, this was a long process. It required much practice, research, and understanding. Only then can the two spells be temporarily fused. Dealing with the wicked god was an excellent opportunity for said practice. Merlin could take advantage of the opportunity to constantly try and fuse the spells.

On the other hand, Wizard Dara was single-mindedly casting Star Flame, the horrific blast from Star Flame's power was quite horrifying. His disc-shaped casting tool also made Merlin very curious but as it was probably Wizard Dara utmost secret, he would not reveal it easily to other people.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss…"

Under the constant barrage of attack from Merlin and Wizard Dara, the wicked god no longer possessed the power to fight back. Upon seeing this situation, it's instinctively turned into a ray of light and entered the wicked god statue.

This statue of wicked god was the medium that had sustained the power of faith alongside god's power. It was also the "holy object" for the believers of the wicked god. Its surface had also been reinforced by the wicked god's divine power, making it extremely tough and very difficult to break.

However, it was nothing for Merlin and Wizard Dara. The two of them continued to carry out their frantic attack onto the statue which only lasted for about half an hour. Then, a crack appeared on the wicked god statue.

"It's breaking! Come on, let's muster another shot and we will destroy the wicked god, once and for all!"

The spark of Star Flame ignited in the hands of Wizard Dara once again. Gradually, it formed a highly condensed and compressed fireball. With just one blow, the wicked god statue would be completely crushed.

"Hold it!" Merlin shouted, suddenly.

With that, Merlin walked a few steps forward and gently said, "Allow me to deal this final blow."

Wizard Dara stared blankly at Merlin. He had no clue what Merlin had planned.

However, in the end, Wizard Dara still gave a slight nod and took a few steps back as he handed the final blow to Merlin.

Merlin took in a deep breath and his gaze sharpened, staring straight at the wicked god statue.

"Whoosh."

Merlin approached the wicked god statue directly, his palm a blazing flame while his body flickered with lightning, as he ruthlessly smashed onto the wicked god statue.
