A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 762: I Am Glory!

All of the Legendary Wizards began to ease into an enthusiastic discussion. It was their first time participating in such an event - selecting an appropriate "title" for an Honored Legend.

This lightened the tense mood of the war for a moment. After all, the Spell Caster civilization's war against the Rock Tribe, the Light God Organization, and the Atlan civilization had not ended. It was only the beginning.

A more ruthless war was waiting for all Spell Casters.

Merlin smiled, declining to comment on the discussions of these Legendary Wizards, only staying in his seat quietly. No matter what honorific title he was granted, it made no difference to him.

Soon, many Legendary Wizards had spoken their minds, suggesting many names. However, one of these had the most supporters.

"You'd be honored as Glory! Our Spell Caster civilization began in the Glorious Land, and everything we do is for the glory of the Spell Caster civilization. Today, Wizard Merlin has established the Mind Power system, surely becoming the glory of our Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, the Legend Glory is most suited for Wizard Merlin!"

This was the explanation of the Legendary Wizard who had suggested the name, which received an exuberant response. Many Spell Casters supported this suggestion. The Legend Glory - for a moment, it made them think of the origin of the Spell Casters, and the struggle of Spell Casters throughout thousands of years, to finally arrive at where it was today.

"The Legend Glory… Not bad. Setoh, Ceci, what do you think?"

Augustus muttered this name softly. To be named as Glory, Merlin's position in the entire Spell Caster civilization would only be second to the three Great Arcane Wizards. This was something not even he had foreseen.

"That's right, this name fits Wizard Merlin very well!"

Arcane Wizards Setoh and Ceci nodded in agreement. They could perceive that after Merlin had tentatively refined the Mind Power system, in less than a hundred years, this system would make waves in the Spell Caster civilization. Spell Casters who became Mind Power Masters would certainly grow in number, and Merlin's influence at that point would be even greater.

In that case, they might as well establish solid relations with Merlin. If Merlin grew powerful in the future, even if he did not become an Arcane Wizard, the three Great Arcane Wizards would even consider helping Merlin set up a fourth Arcane City named Glory as the sacred land of all Mind Power Masters in the Spell Caster civilization.

"Wizard Merlin, what do you think?"

Augustus asked Merlin. This honorific title was Merlin's. Naturally, they would need his agreement.

"Glory…"

Merlin muttered to himself softly. He recalled the Glorious Land, Blackwater City, the Dark Magic Region and so on. Although he had already left the Glorious Land, it was the place where his path as a Spell Caster began. He would never forget it.

"Very well. From today onwards, I shall be the Legend Glory, that's to say, I am Glory!"

Merlin's chest swelled with a sense of heroism.

Following that, the Great Legends, Honored Legends, and even the twenty-seven Lords congratulated Merlin. The birth of the Legend Glory seemed to provide the Spell Caster civilization with a trace of hope. There was none of the solemnness from before when they were faced with the war.

Thereafter, Merlin publicly passed on the Mind Power system he had refined, along with some specific cultivation techniques. The Mind Power system was merely one system with the First to Sixth-level Mind Power Masters.

Following that, a Seventh-level Mind Power Master would condense a Mind Heart. Next, with the Eighth-level realm of Hallucinating spells, one could compare to a Great Legend. In addition to various Hallucinating spell techniques, the Eighth-level Mind Power Master was stronger than the average Legend.

As for the Ninth-level state of the Illusory Heart, one was practically unrivaled, almost myth-like. At this stage, which was Merlin's current stage, no one would wish to oppose a Ninth-level Mind Power Master.

As for the Tenth-level Illusory World, not even Merlin had reached that point.

Moreover, during Merlin's publicity of the Mind Power system, he did not mention the Tenth-level and the Eleventh-level. These were too far away, and reversing the natural order was too astonishing.

Therefore, there was no need to announce that. Not only would it serve no purpose but it might also even cause chaos.

The Mind Power system was only tentatively refined because the stages were only generally divided like the Spell Casters who had the First to the Ninth-level, then Great Wizard, finally consolidating a Maxim to become a Legend, an Honored Legend, and even a Lord.

This was merely a general division of boundaries. As for the offensive techniques of Mind Power Masters, they were equivalent to the attacks of Spell Casters' spells and Spell Models. The Mind Power Masters of the future would have to slowly develop this.

In the past, Spell Casters were like this, becoming something from nothing, developing and refining bit by bit. In the end, they became a sophisticated cultivation system with an unknown number of Spell Models. They even branched out into alchemy, runology, potions, and so on.

The Mind Power system refined by Merlin today appeared only as an empty rack with nothing but broad divisions of boundaries. It did not even have any offensive techniques such as the Purple Emperor's Mind Suppression which Merlin did not share. This was considered a special attack, and in the future, he would only pass it on to close friends or descendants.

However, Merlin was not worried that the Mind Power system would not flourish. As long as Wizards cultivated and delved into it, over time, all sorts of offensive Mind techniques would be gradually developed. In the future, it might even spawn a system that Merlin could never imagine.

Merlin was simply the founder of a system. To truly perfect it, one would need countless others who had cultivated Mind Power, just like the Spell Models which Aruba had passed on. At first, it only had a pitiful amount but ultimately, with the diligence of innumerable Spell Casters, it was endlessly enriched and refined, finally giving birth to three Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

After a moment of bustle, many Legendary Wizards were interested in the Mind Power system shared by Merlin. As the Mind Power system did not clash with the Spell Caster system, they only had to put in their own efforts.

Having witnessed the terrifying power of Merlin's Mind Control, even those Great Legends, Honored Legends, and the twenty-seven Lords were highly interested in Merlin's Mind Power system. They hurried away, preparing to study it at leisure.

Arcane City was now left with the three Great Arcane Wizards and the twenty-seven Lords as if they had important matters to discuss.

After a long moment, Arcane Wizard Setoh spoke, "Everyone, let's talk about what we should do next."

Right, what should they do next? The twenty-seven Lords were clear that in this war, they had only relied on Merlin and three Great Lords to defeat one dimension-level warship, momentarily gaining the upper hand against the Atlan civilization.

The war had not ended. Furthermore, the martial arts robots manufactured by the Atlan civilization were outside, keeping a strict eye on the Spell Caster civilization. Not even Merlin had a plan. He could control hearts and minds but was incapable of taking over those icy martial arts robots who were nothing more than a series of programs.

"Legend Glory, what say you?"

Augustus asked Merlin.

Merlin knitted his brows. One must not judge based on how he was master of the battlefield earlier, dealing with the Rock Tribe, the Atlan civilization, and the Light God Organization by himself. In truth, that was taking advantage of the fact that the Atlan civilization and the rest did not know about his powers.

Now, the Atlan civilization had already taken precautions. They would keep the warships at a far distance, preventing Merlin's Mind Power from reaching them, then forbid those below Lords from the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization to join the battle. Moreover, they would use the warships to constantly manufacture martial arts robots comparable to Great Legends or even Honored Legends. Merlin's Mind Control could not be wielded effectively.

"How troublesome. My Mind Control isn't much use against those robots and existences on par with Great Lords. Nonetheless, I can act as a deterrence. With me around, their dimension-level warship and other warships won't dare to appear. With just those martial arts robots, which one can be a match for a Great Lord? As for the Rock Tribe and the Light God Organization, their Lord-level existences make up a pitiful number. In general, we still have the upper hand. However, I'm just afraid that the Atlan civilization would come up with a way to block my Mind Power attack. Then that would be troublesome."

Merlin was most worried that the Atlan civilization would invent some technique to block his Mind Power. Before this, when Merlin had used his Mind Power to attack the empire-level and city-level warships of the Atlan civilization, he had noticed something.

Those warships could slightly hinder his Mind Power. This meant that Merlin's Mind Power was not omnipotent. At the very least, the Atlan civilization must have some methods to cut off a Mind Power attack.

In addition, Merlin now harbored a greater worry. If the Atlan civilization was connected to the Vestigial Tribe who had taken over the Void Zone as mentioned by the Purple Emperor, then they were in real trouble.

Even imposing existences like the Thirty-six Emperors were apprehensive of the Vestigial Tribe. They must be rather abnormal. The Purple Emperor's Mind Power was formidable. Based on pure Mind Power strength, even the current Merlin was somewhat lacking.

However, the Purple Emperor had died. Merlin was very concerned about the Vestigial Tribe's force. If the Atlan civilization was connected to the Vestigial Tribe, it was too dangerous.

"That's right. We'll now rely on the Legend Glory as a deterrence, and we still have the upper hand. Without the threat of the warships, our number of Lords are greater than theirs, and we can almost suppress them directly. Before the Lords, are those so-called robots worth much?

"However, we mustn't think that we can rest easy now. I've heard that the Atlan civilization is working on the void-level warship. Perhaps previously it was limited by something in the Atlan Dimension. Now they've left the Atlan Dimension, and if they really build a void-level warship successfully, it won't be just a catastrophe for the Spell Caster civilization but all civilizations! Therefore, we must be ready."

Augustus' considerations were no less than Merlin's. He knew that the present situation seemed to favor the Spell Casters but in truth, it was just a momentary moment of peace.

If the Atlan civilization found a way, the Spell Caster civilization would be in danger once more. Therefore, they must prepare in advance and come up with a plan to help the Spell Caster civilization survive this crisis. It was just that, how could such a plan be that easy to come up with?

Nonetheless, Merlin's heart leaped as he looked at the seemingly serene expressions of the three Great Arcane Wizards. Evidently, they had something in mind, only Merlin did not know what plan they had to resolve the crisis faced by the Spell Caster civilization.
