A Wizard's Secret

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Respected Giant King, we come from the Spell Caster civilization. This is the Glorious Lord, and I'm an avatar of Arcane Wizard Setoh. I would like to seek an audience with your Titan Giant to discuss a crucial matter."

Setoh stood up. Despite being an ultimate existence's avatar, his aura was not at all oppressive but very genial.

However, upon hearing the introduction from Merlin and Setoh's avatar, the middle rank Giant Lord's face shifted dramatically. As a middle rank Giant King, he was equivalent to an Honored Legend in the Spell Caster civilization. At his position, he, of course, knew about the powerful Spell Caster civilization in the Void Zone.

A Lord was equivalent to an upper rank Giant King. In the eyes of this middle rank Giant King, this was already an impressive existence. While Merlin's identity as a Lord was staggering, it paled in contrast to Arcane Wizard Setoh' avatar.

Arcane Wizard, this was a great existence who was comparable to the Titan Giant!

"You're here to see His Majesty Chronos?"

Chronos was the name of the Ultimate Titan Giant in the Giant Tribe. According to rumors, as long as the Giants achieved the level of the ultimate existences, they were all called Titan Giants. Titan Giant was only the universal title bestowed upon their ultimate existences.

"That's right, we're here to see His Majesty Chronos. Would you kindly show us the way?"

Wizard Setoh asked calmly.

"This… Indeed, if you visit the Titan Dimension in this manner, you'll attract a lot of trouble. I'll lead you there, then."

The middle rank Giant King looked at the Slothful Beast with an awestruck expression. Although he knew that the Spell Caster civilization was powerful, he did not think that they were so powerful as to be able to tame a Slothful Beast.

Of course, this was because he did not know that the Slothful Beast was merely "controlled" using Merin's Hallucinating spell, and not that the Spell Caster civilization had the means to control it. Nevertheless, such a misunderstanding would not be detrimental toward the Spell Caster civilization. Instead, it would increase the esteem held by the Giant Tribe toward the Spell Casters.

Thereafter, Merlin led the Slothful Beast and followed the directions provided by the Giant King.

Along the way, they encountered several Giants. However, with the middle rank Giant King as their guide, they did not come across any obstruction.

After approximately a month, they had traversed past many dimensions, and finally saw an incredibly huge dimension. Just the sheer size of the dimension revealed its magnificence. Surely, this was not an average dimension.

"Everyone, we've arrived at the Titan Dimension!"

Following the Giant King's explanation, all of them found out that the huge and extraordinary dimension was their destination - the Titan Dimension!

Historically, all the Titan Giants of the Giant Tribe lived in this dimension. Therefore, even from a distance away, all of them could feel an inconceivable authority before them. Their hearts also felt slightly suppressed.

Even the Slothful Beast appeared to be slightly uneasy.

"Everyone, I think the Slothful Beast cannot enter the dimension."

The Giant King said softly, glancing at the gigantic beast.

Merlin nodded. "Let the Slothful Beast wait outside, then."

Thus, Merlin utilized his Hallucinating spell and gradually lulled the Slothful Beast into a deep slumber. As long as the Slothful Beast fell into a deep slumber, besides Merlin's Hallucinating spell, almost nobody could wake up the Slothful Beast. Naturally, they would not have to worry that the Slothful Beast would leave.

Moreover, a Slothful Beast in deep slumber would remain docile, and would not swallow any dimensions willfully.

"Everyone, come with me."

The middle rank Giant King leaped down from the back of the Slothful Beast. With Merlin and the others in tow, he quickly flew into the Titan Dimension.

After entering the Titan Dimension, Merlin's first impression was the humongous size of everything. The entire Titan Dimension resembled a Giant kingdom. Every single building was unimaginably large. Under the Giant King's guidance, Merlin and his entourage appeared to be exceptionally tiny.

Soon, they came to a huge palace. The Giant King said hesitantly, "Please wait a moment, I'll inform His Majesty Chronos!"

Hence, the Giant King made Merlin and the others wait in front of the palace while he swiftly entered the palace.

In the shimmery golden palace, the Giant King carefully informed an upper rank Giant King the details. As soon as he heard that the Spell Caster civilization had sent forth the Glorious Lord and Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar, the upper rank Giant King immediately invited Merlin and the others to enter the palace.

So, Merlin and the others made their way into the palace. The upper rank Giant Lord was gigantic. His voice was like rumbling thunder that caused their ears to ring. Fortunately, all of them were existences above a Lord. Otherwise, they might not able to withstand just his voice alone.

Seeing Merlin and the others, the upper rank Giant King was also astonished. He noticed that Merlin and Setoh were indeed Lords whereas Flarite stunned him further. The aura emitted by Flarite felt vaguely flattering even to an upper rank Giant King like him.

"Everyone, why did you come from afar to see His Majesty Chronos?"

"We want to speak to His Majesty Chronos directly. This matter is extremely important, and concerns both the Spell Caster civilization as well as the Giant civilization!"

Setoh replied calmly. The fact that the Titan Giant still had not appeared seemed slightly peculiar.

The upper rank Giant King took a deep sigh. "Everyone, His Majesty Chronos is neither in the palace nor in the Titan Dimension right now. However, I can bring the news to him on your behalf. Whether or not His Majesty Chronos can return in time, I cannot promise you."

"Not in the Titan Dimension? Then let's wait here for a while."

Setoh deliberated for a moment. Perhaps the Titan Giant was not in the dimension, so they could only wait here quietly.

"Alright, wait a moment. I'll send someone to relay your message right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, this Giant King left the palace.

…

It was an unfamiliar, pitch-black area of the Void Zone. Around this area, there was almost no dimensions except for an unimaginably gargantuan dimension. It was a unique dimension, perhaps approximately equivalent to hundreds of dimensions combined.

However, this dimension was filled with the stench of death, and looked like a dead, forsaken dimension. There was not a single trace of life on the dimension.

"The ancestral land, I still can't enter it!"

In this gargantuan dimension filled with death was an incredibly huge giant radiating a golden glow. He looked extremely eye-catching.

This giant's gaze was transfixed on the dimension but still, he dared not enter the dimension for some reasons.

"If only I can enter the ancestral land, the Giant Tribe wouldn't decline to such a state!"

A spirited look flashed across the twinkling eyes of the incredibly huge giant's eyes but it gradually dimmed. How would it be easy to enter the ancestral land?

He had indeed entered the ancestral land before but even then, he had only escaped by sheer luck, and a hair's breadth away from death. Although he eventually became the only Titan Giant of the Giant Tribe, he still dared not enter the ancestral land again.

This was because he once sensed the threat of death in that place. Even though he was now an Ultimate Titan Giant, he was still mortal. If he were to step into the ancestral land, there was a chance he might perish.

The nearer he got to the ancestral land, the stronger the feeling was! Therefore, as the only Titan Giant, Chronos did not want to take additional risks. Moreover, as the only pillar of the Giant Tribe, he could not afford to take such risks. Back then, if he had not become the only Titan Giant, perhaps the Giant Tribe would have continued to decline and eventually disappear completely from the Void Zone.

Thus, Chronos dared not take more risks. He was the hope of the Giant Tribe now, so nothing must happen to him. Unless the Giant Tribe could produce another Titan Giant.

However, Chronos had already spent hundreds and thousands of years to nurture one giant after another. He had managed to nurture quite a number of upper rank Giant Kings, and even nurtured them with his blood but he still could not nurture a second Titan Giant.

"Boom."

Suddenly, from a distance, a Giant King dressed in black armor flew toward him.

"Respectable Your Majesty Chronos, a Lord and Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar from the Spell Caster civilization have come to the Titan Dimension, requesting to see you!"

"The Spell Caster civilization?"

Chronos frowned slightly. He had been staying in the ancestral land for a while now but it did not mean that he did not know anything. He knew that the Spell Caster civilization had encountered some trouble recently. This visit must be related to the trouble they had encountered.

"Let them leave."

After a short deliberation, Chronos shook his head. He did not feel particularly chummy with the Spell Caster civilization. This was a powerful civilization that just arose not too long ago. Compared to the Giant Tribe with a very long history, Chronos did not regard these powerful civilizations highly.

Perhaps, the Spell Caster civilization would decline just as quickly as it arose.

The black-armored Giant King hesitated momentarily. He was much smaller than the Titan Giant, but he spoke up, "Your Majesty, the Spell Casters also brought along a Slothful Beast. It's right outside the Titan Dimension."

"Hmm? What did you say? A Slothful Beast?"

The Titan Giant Chronos turned his head, a strange glint shone in his twinkling eyes.

This Giant King was an upper rank Giant King who had always stayed by the side of the Titan Giant. Only when he was in the ancestral land, the Titan Giant would allow him to leave.

The ancestral land was where the Giant Tribe originated but at the same time, it was also their forbidden land. Without the Titan Giant's permission, no one was allowed to enter.

"Yes, they have a Slothful Beast. I don't know how but they seem to be able to tame that Slothful Beast. A middle rank Giant King saw them steer the Slothful Beast to the Titan Dimension with his own eyes."

This Giant King relayed all the information he knew in detail.

After a long time, the Titan Giant Chronos stood up and spoke slowly, "Let's go then. We'll see what they have to say."

Chronos finally decided to return to the Titan Dimension to meet the Spell Casters from afar.
