A Wizard's Secret

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Finally, the Glory Alliance was established. Thus, Merlin retrieved some information regarding the different levels of ultimate existences which he had obtained from the Light Guardians as well as some of their personal experiences.

This was precious information that many of the ultimate existences could only dream of obtaining. Merlin shared the information with every ultimate existence in the Glory Alliance. Therefore, even those who were slightly disgruntled were appeased by this lode of information. This was definitely worth the price they had to pay.

Once the Glory Alliance was stable, Merlin moved the Glorious Land and placed it next to Glory City. Among them, the Wilson clan was placed in Glory City. It was at this point that the Great Wizards from the Glorious Land realize how inadequate they had been before. Compared to the rest of the Spell Caster civilization, the entire Glorious Land was not even worth a mention.

What astonished them most was Merlin. Surprisingly, he was already comparable to an ultimate existence and stood at the pinnacle of the Spell Caster civilization!

Currently standing in front of the Glory Tower in Glory City, facing Merlin, was a Great Wizard dressed in a sacred golden armor and a crown. He was Bhutto XVII of the Kingdom of Blackmoon.

However, Bhutto XVII was looking grim. Ever since Merlin had relocated the Glorious Land and removed the seal over it, the Great Wizards from the Glorious Land had gradually departed from the Glorious Land to mingle with the outside world. They had realized how insignificant they were, not even the level of a Legend.

The same was true for Bhutto XVII. He was a Great Wizard in his own right, and by his brazen conquests, managed to lead the Kingdom of Blackmoon to such heights. This achievement was his life work.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans for the future?"

Merlin still used the same honorific as the past, which Bhutto XVII was extremely grateful. By now, he knew that Merlin's status was at the pinnacle of the entire Spell Caster civilization. Not only did Merlin controlled a dimension but he had also founded the Mind Power system. Merlin's achievements were far beyond the grasps of a king like him.

"Glory Lord, now that the Glorious Land has been unsealed, I finally saw the outside world. I now know that the glory of the Spell Casters had never faded but became even more dazzling than before. I've done what I can for the Glorious Land. This vast world is a challenge for me. I'll leave the Glorious Land and explore the outside world, just like what the Glory Lord did before. I'll leave as a Great Wizard and come back as a Great Legendary Wizard!"

Bhutto XVII did not falter. Once the Glorious Land was unsealed, his position as a king no longer held any significance. Hence, he quickly passed the throne to his successor, and prepared to leave the Glorious Land.

Moreover, ever since Merlin became the Glory Lord and seized control over Glory City, many of his past adventures had gradually come to light, such as his fearless exploration of numerous dangerous places while still being a Great Wizard. This became the inspiration for many other Spell Casters and Mind Power Masters. As a result, several people had followed in Merlin's footsteps and embarked on their exploration ahead of time. Bhutto XVII also wanted to do so.

"That's good, you should indeed explore and gain some experiences. Perhaps, you'll encounter a stroke of luck that helps you consolidate a Maxim and become a Legend! No matter what, you and I are close acquaintances. Here, this is a puppet that you can control. Its ability is comparable to a Legendary Wizard. However, don't abuse it. At critical moments, it can save your life. I'm also giving you the cultivation method of the complete Mind Power system. If you ultimately fail to consolidate a Maxim, you might want to consider cultivating the Mind Power system."

Merlin immediately retrieved a Legend-level puppet and transferred its control over to Bhutto XVII, and also passed the complete teaching of the Mind Power system to him.

The most precious gift was the Mind Power system. This was because only a precious few could receive personal instruction from Merlin regarding the Mind Power system.

Bhutto XVII was very grateful. He knew that it was because he kept his promise and took care of the Wilson clan. As a result, this highly respected Glory Lord, Merlin, gave him so much help.

Following that, Bhutto XVII left. However, there were still a lot of things Merlin had to prepare before leaving the Spell Caster civilization. The most important issue was the safety of the Spell Caster civilization.

At present, the Spell Caster civilization was indeed thriving but there were only two ultimate existences - Augustus and Ceci. Once Merlin had left, the Spell Caster civilization would return to its original state, and was weaker than before.

The growth period of the Spell Caster civilization was simply too short. It was extremely difficult to give birth to a new ultimate existence, and certainly not within a short period.

Therefore, Merlin must leave behind some trump cards for the Spell Caster civilization, so that if they encounter any danger, they would be able to overcome it.

After long consideration, Merlin carefully compartmentalized all his abilities, and decided to leave behind the Slothful Best. If the Slothful Beast remained in the Spell Caster civilization, it would deter many ultimate existences.

However, the old Maxim avatar would not be able to control the Slothful Beast, so Merlin first had to enhance his Maxim avatar.

The only way to do that was to give a portion of the Illusory World to his Maxim avatar. It was unrealistic to expect a Maxim avatar to consolidate his own Illusory World.

Merlin's approach was to detach a portion of his Illusory World. Not too much, just enough to control the Slothful Beast. This was a self-inflicted handicap. Detaching just a tiny portion of the Illusory World, even the tiniest speck, would have a great impact on the progress of Merlin's Illusory World.

Nevertheless, this was still the best approach. Otherwise, Merlin would not be truly assured when he left the Spell Caster civilization.

Thus, Merlin recalled his Maxim avatar and began to detach a small portion of the Illusory World. Then, he began to merge it with the Maxim avatar.

Since Merlin's Maxim avatar originated from his own body, although just a little bit less powerful, and the Illusory World was also detached from himself, there were no problems merging a small portion of the Illusory World to his Maxim avatar. Very soon, the merging was a success.

"Try it and see."

Merlin said to his Maxim avatar. The feeling was a little strange because his Maxim avatar was himself. Understandably, it was bizarre to talk to himself.

The Maxim avatar stood up. An extraordinary glint glowed in his eyes. Subsequently, an invisible fluctuation wrapped around the Slothful Beast summoned by Merlin.

"Hibernate…"

Merlin's Maxim avatar's Mind Power fluctuated incessantly, and a small portion of the Illusory World enveloped the Slothful Beast. Immediately, the Slothful Beast seemed to be affected and began to look drowsy.

"Not bad, you can control the Slothful Beast now."

Merlin heaved a breath of relief. Now that his Maxim avatar had merged with a small portion of the Illusory World, it was able to control the Slothful Beast and become the most powerful force of the Spell Caster civilization.

Moreover, if any ill were to befall, the Slothful Beast would be able to hold on for a while. In the meantime, Merlin's real person would be able to return quickly.

"It's time to leave!"

Merlin stood up, and cast one last glance at the Slothful Beast. Then, with a flash of his figure, left Glory City.

"Swish swish."

He did not alert anyone except for Wizards Augustus and Ceci. Upon receiving Merlin's message, the two of them promptly rushed outside of Glory City.

"Glory Lord, are you going to the Great Light Region alone?"

Augustus asked with a troubled expression.

"I can go alone. I still have four Aurora warships. I'm keeping one for myself and leaving one in Glory City. There are two more, so I'm giving it to each of you. If you encounter any danger, you'll be able to escape in time."

Merlin retrieved two Aurora ships from his ring. These were valuable treasures that many second-grade ultimate existences did not have. Even the three Great Light Envoys' Aurora warships were temporarily lent to them by the Great Light Honorable Lord. They would have to return it upon their return to the Great Light Region.

The two Aurora warships were extremely beneficial to Wizards Augustus and Ceci so they accepted the Aurora warships.

Merlin nodded and did not say anything. He flew directly into the Aurora warships, after which he transformed into a ray of light that quickly vanished into the Void Zone.

Augustus and Ceci looked at one another with a hopeful look. "I hope the Glory Lord succeeds."

…

In the Great Light Region, everything looked calm but the Seventy-two Light Envoys and Eighteen Light Guardians seemed intensely pressured, like something big was about to happen.

A total of fifteen Light Guardians and seventy Light Envoys had received the Great Light Honorable Lord's commands, requesting for them to return to the Great Light Dimension as soon as possible.

The Great Light Honorable Lord had never issued such an urgent command. All the Light Envoys and Light Guardians knew that something major must have happened to the Great Light Region.

Hence, the Light Envoys and Light Guardians had arrived in the Great Light Region in succession. The palace contained dozens of Light Envoys and Light Guardians but there was not a din. It was incomparably quiet, perhaps even to a frightening degree.

The crowd's eyes were transfixed on the Great Light Honorable Lord.

After a long time, the Great Light Honorable Lord finally spoke, "Three Light Guardians, Laerin, Sirin, and Hayrin, are dead!"

"Rumble."

The Great Light Honorable Lord's words attracted the commotion of the entire hall. Three Light Guardians were second-grade ultimate existences. Who would dare to provoke the Great Light Region?

Seeing the reaction of the people gathered below, the Great Light Honorable Lord nodded with satisfaction. His voice turned icy. "I've decided to lead a troop consisting of ten Light Guardians and forty Light Envoys, to avenge our three Light Guardians. Not just the assailant but his entire civilization and whatever method he used to kill the three Light Guardians. We must destroy them completely!"

Ever since they had fought over a Vestigial Tribe's confinement dimension with another large region, which was tens of thousands of years ago, there had never been such a massive-scale attack. Not only was it personally led by the Great Light Honorable Lord but he had also brought with him numerous Light Guardians and Light Envoys.

"No matter who killed the three Light Guardians, he has angered the Great Honorable Lord. Whatever civilization or force that stands behind him will suffer the consequences."

Many Light Guardians and Light Envoys knew that the Great Light Honorable Lord was downright furious, which was the most terrifying part. Wherever he was, there would be endless bloodshed!
