A Wizard's Secret

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin flew into the air and extended a finger. A pulsating rune appeared on his forehead - it was the Runic Heartprint! Merlin had not used it for a long time. After all, it was no longer of much use to Merlin lately. Nonetheless, it was still able to isolate their force and prevent their movements from being revealed.

"Runic Heartprint, go!"

One by one the runes were released by Merlin through the power of the Runic Heartprint. This was a Runic Magic Circle that was built especially for concealment, and it was one of the most effective ones. It was just that it required too much Mind Power, so Merlin had not dared to use it in the past. However, his Mind Power had improved considerably since then, and he could set it up as he wished without being affected.

"Swish swish swish."

The runes hovered in mid-air, covering up an area of over a hundred miles. From the surface, it looked as if nothing had changed but this was a façade. In fact, Wizard Luce was wildly excavating the elemental crystal stones lode.

"Rise!"

Wizard Luce gave a great roar and Magic Power cascaded from his body. He cast spells of powerful might one after another, razing the entire area of more than a hundred miles into level ground. Following that, the entire elemental crystal stones lode was hauled up by the combined efforts of Merlin and Wizard Luce.

"Seize the elemental crystal stones quickly!"

Merlin's heart burst with glee as he yelled hastily. Countless elemental crystal stones were wildly absorbed into the Spatial Rings of both Wizards. In a few short minutes, they had gotten a few hundred thousand elemental crystal stones at least. If they kept this up for a few hours, they would even get a few million or maybe more than ten million elemental crystal stones.

If this pace was maintained for a day or two, they would surely obtain more than a hundred million elemental crystal stones. Both of them were currently drunk on the "thrill" of frantically collecting elemental crystal stones.

…

Legend Sith looked coldly at the Satsuma God he was suppressing. His two Maxims were restraining the Satsuma God at all times, exerting immense pressure on the god.

If he only had one Maxim, Legend Sith might still be able to suppress the Satsuma God by force but it would then take a few months to kill the Satsuma God off completely or even a few years' time for his divinity to be exhausted.

However, he had two Maxims furiously draining the Satsuma God's divinity so, in a mere three days' time, Legend Sith had already forced the Satsuma God to the end of his rope.

"Hehe, your divinity is finally all used up. Die!"

With a vicious push of Legend Sith's both hands, the two Maxims which were like massive mountains, immediately crushed the Satsuma God's gigantic frame into dust. Without divinity, the Satsuma God had no way of resurrecting himself.

The exception was if he still had believers in the future who constantly accumulated the power of faith for him. Perhaps then, he would come back to life. However, the entire Satsuma Dimension was in Legend Sith's grasp. When it became a Spell Caster dimension in the future, it would be impossible for the Satsuma God to accumulate the power of faith.

"I've finally succeeded! Now it's time to gain total control of the Elemental Origin."

Legend Sith closed his eyes wordlessly. He was attentively feeling the Elemental Origin, rapidly achieving mastery of it. Only by controlling the Elemental Origin could he actually control the dimension.

Through the Elemental Origin, Legend Sith was able to "see" any location in the Satsuma Dimension. His Mind Power followed the Elemental Origin, and inspected the colossal Satsuma Dimension.

"Huh? There's such a great commotion. What's going on?"

Soon enough, through the Elemental Origin, Legend Sith perceived a massive agitation in the dimension. Therefore, he quickly traced it back to its source.

"A Runic Magic Circle?"

Legend Sith was slightly stupefied. Someone had actually used a Runic Magic Circle to isolate their movements. It was not surprising that he had not discovered this when he was just starting to control the Elemental Origin. It was only now that he had full mastery of the Elemental Origin that he could sense a trace of that commotion.

"Humph, let me see who can it be?"

Legend Sith's face turned cold, following which his Mind Power, through the Elemental Origin, noiselessly probed within the Runic Magic Circle. Not even the Runic Magic Circle could detect his Mind Power.

"Rumble."

Just as he had passed through the Runic Magic Circle, Legend Sith was struck dumb by what he saw. Before his eyes were heaps and heaps of elemental crystal stones, piling up into mountains. In the depths of the ground stretching out endlessly, was, in fact, a massive lode of elemental crystal stones.

"What? Such a gigantic lode? The entire dimension is practically sitting above this lode… The heavens have blessed me with these riches, haha, to think that I've found such a treasure trove! These two puny Ninth-level Spell Casters are greedy by nature. They dare to steal elemental crystal stones which belong to me! D*mn fools!"

A murderous rage gripped his features. Naturally, he remembered that these two individuals had signed a contract with him, so he could not attack them. However, just because he could not attack did not mean that he was powerless.

The contracts were signed indeed but Legend Sith had other ways.

"Slave Wei, Slave Hai, both of you go and kill those two!"

Two Spell Casters appeared behind Legend Sith. Their expressions were wooden but they were filled with fear toward the Legend Sith. These were two Great Wizards controlled by Legend Sith. They had been kept hidden all along, just in case an unexpected situation ever arose where Sith could not attack, where these two could still be mobilized.

Both of them had not signed any contracts, and could attack freely!

"Very well, great Master!"

Slave Wei and Slave Hai had completely become Legend Sith's slaves, controlled by a contract. Thereafter, the two Great Wizards left quickly.

…

Within the Runic Magic Circle, the place was filled with glittering elemental crystal stones. The massive lode looked like a huge dragon. Merlin and Wizard Luce had joined forces to haul up one "dragon" after another. With a blow from their spells, everything became gleaming elemental crystal stones, which were divided by both into their Spatial Rings.

"Wizard Luce, how many elemental crystal stones have you collected, roughly speaking?"

Merlin suddenly asked.

Wizard Luce examined his loot briefly, and his face was filled with delight. With a trembling voice, he said, "I've already collected more than three million elemental crystal stones. How about you?"

"I've gotten a bit more - over five million elemental crystal stones. We have to hurry. Although the Runic Magic Circle is concealing us, as time goes by, it'll be difficult to avoid Legend Sith's detection."

Merlin had a vague premonition. If they delayed any longer, it was likely they would be caught by Legend Sith.

"Is that so? Both of you are brave indeed. You actually dare to fool Legend Sith, and steal the elemental crystal stones."

At an unknown time, two other Spell Casters had shown up within the Runic Magic Circle. From the Elemental fluctuations of their bodies, they were Great Wizards.

"Oh no, the Runic Magic Circle didn't even react. Legend Sith must've mobilized the power of this dimension's Elemental Origin. We've been discovered by Legend Sith. Run, run quickly!"

Merlin immediately dragged Wizard Luce and paid no mind to those two Great Wizards. His figure flashed as he dashed madly toward the exterior of the Satsuma Dimension.

"Trying to escape?"

The two Great Wizards were Slave Wei and Slave Hai. Seeing that Merlin and Wizard Luce were no Great Wizards, they heaved a soft sigh of relief. At least, they would not be in danger this time around.

Wizard Luce's face turned color. He was already somewhat remorseful that he had followed Merlin, and hauled the elemental crystal stones lode.

"Wizard Merlin, we're done for. These two must be Legend Sith's slaves or followers. Legend Sith can't attack but his slaves can. We have no way of contending against any one of those two Great Wizards."

Wizard Luce shook his head lightly. He was no longer holding on to any hope.

Behind them, Slave Wei and Slave Wei moved very quickly as well. Both of them unleashed their full force, each casting spells which immediately blanketed a range of a hundred miles. No matter how fast Merlin was, he could not outrun their spells.

The Great Wizards' spells contained multiple Elements, and shifted constantly, making it impossible to guard against. They had great might too, and was something far beyond a Ninth-level Spell Caster's abilities.

"Merlin, we won't escape."

Wizard Luce was truly in despair. The Great Wizards' spells pressed upon them with terrifying force. He did not even have the courage to resist anymore.

"Luce, right now, escape immediately as fast as you can, run!"

Merlin cried out furiously, and turned around abruptly, shielding Luce behind him. His head of long black hair began to flutter in a strange manner.

"This punk wants to die?"

"He's just a Seventh-level Spell Caster. Going insane right before dying is quite normal, after all."

Slave Wei and Slave Hai had killed so many people that they had lost count. Looking at Merlin was just like staring at an ant that would not give up struggling.

"Darkness Eye, summon Demon Spirit!"

Merlin gave a low cry and extended a fair palm. Instantly, crimson light shone from his palm, where an eerie blood-red eye blinked incessantly.

At the same time, a swathe of darkness glided behind Merlin silently. A giant ghostly face of unparalleled size solidified, bursting out in peals of cold laughter, eyes fixed upon Slave Wei and Slave Hai, inducing a chill in them.

This was also Merlin's first time unleashing the sixth form of Darkness Eye, which was only cultivated through the Blackfire King's help. The sixth form was, in fact, able to condense a spirit form, Darkness Demon Spirit, from the darkness.

The pinnacle of this Darkness Demon Spirit was comparable to some gods! That would only be achievable by the seventh form. The Legend of Darkness Oflas was remarkable indeed, creating this special Pandora Demon Ability which could condense Darkness Demon Spirit, a spirit form with Darkness Eye as its base. As a result, the power of Darkness Eye was immediately leagues beyond other special Pandora Demon Abilities.

Darkness Demon Spirit snarled as soon as it appeared, and immediately swung one ferocious palm to crush Slave Wei and Slave Wei. Thereafter, it opened its giant mouth which was like a black hole, swallowing both of them promptly.

From the time Darkness Demon Spirit appeared to the point where it swallowed the two Great Wizards, the entire process took barely one moment. Wizard Luce was still completely blank, at a loss of what to do.

"Let's go! Don't forget, there's still Legend Sith!"

Merlin did not hesitate any longer and withdrew the sixth form of Darkness Eye. Although he was also astounded by the terrifying might of the sixth form of Darkness Eye, what was more important now was to escape, to run far away from the Satsuma Dimension.

…

"Darkness Eye?"

On the floating continent, Legend Sith, who had been observing Merlin and Luce, stood up abruptly. His eyes were like two pools of ice. It was not because of Slave Wei and Slave Hai. Those two Great Wizards were merely his slaves, and he did not care about them at all.

What enraged Legend Sith was Merlin's use of Darkness Eye. Legend Sith, as a Great Legend with two Maxims, naturally had some knowledge of Darkness Eye. All those who cultivated Darkness Eye, especially those like Merlin who cultivated it to the sixth form, were basically the Legend of Darkness Oflas' prey. They were surveilled by Oflas.

"This isn't good. If Oflas realizes what's going on here, there would be trouble! D*mn it, how can a mere Seventh-level Spell Caster cultivate Darkness Eye to its sixth form?"

Legend Sith stood up hastily. No matter what, he must not let Merlin live. If Oflas ever learned of this giant lode of elemental crystal stones through Darkness Eye, it would be rather troublesome. Sith would not allow something like that to happen.

"Boom!"

That gigantic castle of Sith's descended instantly, following which it sped out of the dimension at its highest speed, flying toward the vast Void Zone…
