A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 768: A Strange World!

The blazing temperature scorched the earth, turning the space into a stove. Three suns were hanging in the sky.

It was the first time Merlin and Wizard Setoh had encountered such a strange dimension.

When they came to, they were lying on the ground staring up at a sky. They had been unconscious but they both knew that they had been sucked into the terrifying sea of fire at the Void Zone and ended up in this strange dimension.

"No Elements."

Merlin said in a low voice. He tried his best to sense Elements but there were none. Fortunately, neither Merlin nor Setoh needed the support of Elements since they had Maxims.

"Thankfully the natural order is present here. However, its influence seems to be very weak…"

As an ultimate existence, although Wizard Setoh was just an avatar of an ultimate existence, and could not use the power of the natural order, he could still feel its power.

Therefore, he immediately sensed the power of the natural order. Fortunately, the power of the natural order still existed. However, it seemed that it was greatly restricted. What place could hinder the power of the natural order?

So far, Arcane Wizard Setoh had only heard of one place that could block the power of the natural order, and that was the Atlan Dimension. He did not know how the Atlan Dimension was formed either, to be able to block the power of the natural order, and cause even ultimate existences to hesitate on entering.

That was because once they had entered, ultimate existences would no longer be able to sense the power of the natural order, and their strength would drop greatly.

"What is this place?"

Merlin did not know, and neither did Arcane Wizard Setoh.

"Be careful. The Void Zone is vast. If it were my real body, there wouldn't be much danger. However, I'm only a Maxim avatar now, so it's better to be cautious."

Arcane Wizard Setoh was being very cautious as he was only an avatar.

"Would there be sapient beings in a place like this?"

Looking at the acrid land, Merlin found it hard to believe that there were intelligent lifeforms in a place like this. This place was much more different than many dimensions.

"Boom."

Just as Merlin had finished speaking, a loud sound rang out. Merlin's Mind Power quickly extended out, and his mouth fell open as his expression changed into shock.

He had just said there would not be any sapient creatures but right now, under a small hill not far away, there was a large beast with two curved horns.

"Let's go and have a look."

Arcane Wizard Setoh and Merlin swiftly flew over. It was indeed a living creature, and its living characteristics were very vibrant. Its body's surface temperature was incredibly high, and was even accompanied by flames.

Presumably, this was a special creature created by this unique environment.

This monster was walking slowly when it suddenly seemed to have noticed something. Then, it started to run as if there was danger behind it.

"Merlin, above us!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh pointed above them. Sure enough, there was an even larger bird flying in the sky. It seemed to have found the monster on the ground, and was wildly chasing after it.

The two beasts were both very large and possessed great strength. Merlin and Wizard Setoh did not act without thinking and continued to follow behind the monster.

Around two hours later, Merlin and Wizard Setoh had followed the beasts for an unknown distance, and finally saw a lush forest in front of them.

"Hoo…"

The weather had been blazing hot but the sky rapidly became overcast with dark clouds, and rain started pouring down like a torrent. Soon, the dry land was covered with rain. Merlin and Wizard Setoh had Maxims to protect themselves with, so they were naturally unafraid of this storm.

The bird in the sky watched the beast gradually run into the dense forest. It seemed unsettled, and circled in mid-air for some time but eventually flew away after it found that it could not do anything more.

"There's plenty of rain here, and the trees are all very tall."

Wizard Setoh and Merlin were constantly observing this world. Since there were a forest and even fierce beasts, it was very likely that there was intelligent life as well, which might even develop into a strange civilization.

After all, no one would have expected that a civilization like the Rock Tribe would have developed into such a powerful civilization.

This world's environment was also unique, so a civilization nurtured by it would certainly be unique as well. However, no one knew how powerful contenders from this world would be. Perhaps they would be able to estimate slightly judging by those beasts.

"Wizard Setoh, I'll catch that beast and see how unique the strength of this world is."

Merlin was somewhat eager.

Wizard Setoh considered and said, "I'll go with you. There might be some unknown dangers hidden in this dense forest."

Wizard Setoh was still worried about Merlin.

"Then, let's go together."

Merlin and Setoh immediately entered the thick forest.

Just as they had entered the forest, they felt a cold and damp force. It was completely different from the scorching hot force outside.

Merlin's Mind Power had been continuously tracking that beast, so they gound it easily.

"It's in front of us. We must chase after it quickly. That beast isn't slow."

Merlin's body was wrapped with Maxim Chains. He did not dare to be careless in this unknown environment. Wizard Setoh was the same. He was also wrapped in a Darkness Maxim. However, Merlin could feel that this Darkness Maxim was very different from his own Darkness Maxim. There seemed to be a faint feeling of suppression.

It was purely a feeling but Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar was comparable to a Lord. He was purely a Maxim avatar, and only had a Darkness Maxim. However, as he was an Ultimate Arcane Wizard's Maxim avatar, even without the power of the natural order, his Darkness Maxim had incorporated some of Arcane Wizard Setoh's understanding about the natural order.

Therefore, although Arcane Wizard Setoh only had an ultimate Maxim, it was comparable to a Lord. His understanding of the natural order was even more valuable than an ultimate Maxim.

Some powerful Lords might have reached the conditions needed to fuse Maxims but failed to fuse them because their understanding of the natural order was inferior to true ultimate existences.

Merlin did not know anything about ultimate existences. Although Aruba had warned Merlin before not to fuse Maxims, it was never wrong to understand more.

"We caught up to it. It's right ahead!"

Merlin and Arcane Wizard Setoh finally chased the beast to a waterfall. Under the waterfall was a small stream. The two figures floated in the air, and Wizard Setoh acted first.

"Whoosh."

The Darkness Maxim immediately turned into a large palm and shot toward the huge beast. However, the beast seemed to sense that it was in danger and opened its mouth wide, and a blazing force spewed out.

It was flames. The flames were blue, and although it did not have the power of a Maxim, it was close to it, which shocked Merlin and Setoh.

"A mere beast can have power close to a Maxim?"

Maxims were legends. The beast did not look particularly powerful, and it was even chased by a bird earlier. From its appearance, it did not seem to have strength close to a Legend.

"Bang."

Although the blue flames spewed by the beast had power close to a Maxim, there was still a big gap compared to Wizard Setoh's Darkness Maxim. His Darkness Maxim easily extinguished the blue fire and firmly grasped the beast.

"Whiz whiz whiz."

Suddenly, three flames turned into sharp arrows and fell from the sky, directly shooting at Merlin and Setoh. The power contained in them clearly reached Legendary level.

Merlin and Setoh both looked up and saw that the bird from before had appeared again. Furthermore, it brought along two other birds as well. There were even three figures clad in strange clothing standing on their backs.
