Chapter 629: Eve
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Setoh Castle, the main foyer was tightly packed with numerous Great Legends but everyone was completely silent as they fixed their gazes on Arcane Wizard Setoh up above.
Arcane Wizard Setoh deliberated for a long time, and finally made up his mind. Slowly, he said, “The dozens of dimensions at the front line, we simply cannot give up! All of you, start making preparations. All the Legends will be intervening. Go now…”
“Whoosh.”
Before he could finish speaking, a Great Legend below suddenly stood up!
“Arcane Wizard Setoh, I have something to say!”
“Hmm? Legend Zado, do you have a suggestion?”
Arcane Wizard Setoh frowned, not knowing what Legend Zado wanted to say at this juncture.
Legend Zado stood up, and looked around the numerous Great Legends around him. He said in a deep voice, “Great Wizard Setoh, a civilization war cannot be started easily! As for the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies, I have a candidate who’s willing to give it a try!”
“You have a candidate?”
Not only Arcane Wizard Setoh was astonished but many other Great Legends gave a skeptical look. Who, beneath a Great Legend, could possibly defeat the Progenitor’s Body formed by the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies?
“Yes, he’s my disciple as well as the Blackfire Lord’s disciple, Merlin!”
Wizard Zado also looked at the Blackfire Lord. Upon hearing the name “Merlin”, both the Blackfire Lord and Arcane Wizard Setoh’s expressions paled slightly.
“Merlin? How could he possibly defeat the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies?”
Arcane Wizard Setoh’s expression sunk. Although Merlin was a very powerful Mind Power master, Arcane Wizard Setoh could see from the last battle that Merlin was only equivalent to the mightiest existences below a Legend. Perhaps, due to the uniqueness of Mind Power masters, he might be infinitely close to the existence of a civilization-level prodigy.
However, Merlin had not yet become a real civilization-level prodigy, let alone to defeat the Progenitor’s Body formed by six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies.
Legend Zado shook his head and replied, “Great Wizard Setoh, Merlin had just made this request to me. He’s willing to try!”
“Blackfire Lord, Merlin is your disciple. What do you think?”
Wizard Setoh turned his gaze toward the Blackfire Lord to seek his opinion. He knew that Merlin occupied a very important position in the Blackfire Lord’s heart.
The Blackfire Lord frowned slightly. Ever since he found out that Merlin had managed to develop the Mind Power system to a whole new level, and might probably perfect the Mind Power system, he held even higher regards toward Merlin.
In this civilization war, if it was not necessary, the Blackfire Lord even thought of using his influence to allow Merlin to escape the front lines.
However, since Merlin was the one who had suggested it, the Blackfire Lord felt it was not his position to stop him. So, he nodded. “Let’s summon Merlin to ask him. If he’s confident, then send him. We should avoid a civilization war as best as we can!”
“Very well. Legend Zado, inform Merlin to come here!”
Legend Zado nodded, and conveyed Arcane Wizard Setoh’s message to Merlin via his Maxim Avatar.
“Buzz.”
Merlin’s ring vibrated again.
“Legend Zado, what’s happening?”
Merlin asked anxiously.
“Wizard Setoh is summoning you, come quickly.”
Legend Zado’s Maxim Avatar said with a smile.
Merlin finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could see Arcane Wizard Setoh, his success was half-guaranteed. Hence, he stood up, and flew toward the castle in the Void Zone.
…
“Creak.”
The castle gate slowly swung open, and a young Wizard walked in. Countless inquisitive gazes instantly landed on the young Wizard.
There were Great Legends, Honored Legends, and even Lords!
Their gazes quickly revealed a look of disbelief.
“He hasn’t become a Great Wizard, and is only a Ninth-level Spell Caster!”
“The name Merlin was once renowned at the front line after a major battle. His Rainbow Squad encountered the Progenitor Squad’s ambush. Just as the Rainbow Squad was about to be annihilated, Merlin rose to the occasion, and killed the entire Progenitor Squad alone!”
“The Rock Tribe’s Progenitor Squad, upon forming the Progenitor’s Body, is somewhat comparable to a Great Legend. How could it be defeated by Merlin alone, who’s not even a Great Wizard?”
Many of the Great Legends were amazed. Although they had heard of Merlin before, as Great Legends, they were not overly concerned about those who were below the level of a Legend. At most, they would pay some passing attention.
Most of the Great Legends assumed that Merlin was a Great Wizard but now that they saw that he was only a Ninth-level Spell Caster, they were astounded. Most probably, even the civilization-level prodigies did not possess such formidable strengths when they were still Ninth-level Spell Casters.
The Blackfire Lord and Wizard Setoh, on the other hand, were very calm. They looked at Merlin with an even expression. Despite being subjected under so many Great Legends’ scrutiny, Merlin appeared to be unruffled.
“Merlin, do you know how powerful those six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies are?”
Arcane Wizard Setoh asked calmly.
“I know.”
“So how confident are you?”
“Fifty percent.”
The atmosphere in the main foyer turned silent. Merlin indeed had fifty percent confidence. His Darkness Eye had been cultivated to its seventh form, so he had the power to harm a Great Legend. However, the most critical factor was not Darkness Eye but whether Merlin’s Illusory World would be effective.
Titus once mentioned that once the Illusory World was mobilized, an ordinary Legend would not be able to resist it. Furthermore, if Merlin had achieved the Illusion Heart stage, then he would be able to wield the powers of the Illusory World. With that, even Honored Legends could be trapped in the illusion.
Merlin had mobilized the Illusory World before. It could indeed confuse an ordinary Legend. This was also Merlin’s biggest confidence. On one hand, the Progenitor’s Body formed by the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies was not an ordinary Progenitor’s Body, and was also much stronger than an ordinary Legend.
On the other hand, the Progenitor’s Body was formed by the six civilization-level prodigies. Merlin’s Illusory World would be inflicted on the six civilization-level prodigies. Whether it was one or six persons, it did not make a difference to Merlin. The power of Hallucinating spells affected the “heart” or in other words, the Mind Power.
This was Merlin’s biggest confidence!
“Merlin, that Progenitor’s Body is like no other. Are you really sure?”
The question came from the Blackfire King, who was watching Merlin carefully.
“Teacher, I have decided! A civilization war cannot be started easily. Let me give it a try. If I succeed, we’ll gain the upper hand, and pass the ball into the Rock Tribe’s court. If they dare not launch the civilization war, they’ll retreat. If I don’t succeed, then it’s still not too late for Wizard Setoh to launch a civilization war!”
Merlin’s voice did not waver at all. He appeared exceedingly calm.
“Blackfire Lord, what do you think?”
Wizard Setoh asked softly.
The Blackfire Lord closed his eyes and nodded. “Merlin is right. Let him go. A fifty percent chance is worth a try!”
“Very well!”
Wizard Setoh stood up, and said to Merlin. “You should prepare for a few days. Regardless of success or failure, we cannot lose the Seely Dimension!”
Merlin’s heart thumped. He knew that Wizard Setoh had made up his mind. If Merlin failed, a brutal civilization war would be inevitable.
…
In the castle, all the Legends had left. They had been instructed to make preparations for a civilization war. Merlin only had one attempt. If he lost, Wizard Setoh would not allow the Rock Tribe to occupy the Seely Dimension continuously.
“Merlin!”
The Blackfire Lord was looking at Merlin with a complicated expression.
“Do you know how dangerous this is going to be?”
Merlin smiled at him. “Teacher, if a civilization erupts, do you think I’ll be safe then? At that time, even the Great Legends will die, what more me?”
“That’s not the same. This time, if you lose, it’s inherently dangerous. However, even if you win, it’ll also be extremely dangerous. The Rock Tribe’s Progenitor Hanra might turn humiliation into fury, and attack you directly.”
The Blackfire Lord could not help but remind Merlin.
“Arcane Wizard Setoh will make precautions for that, right? There’s nothing for me to be afraid of.”
Merlin’s face displayed a grin. Although his tone was unperturbed, Merlin knew that the Blackfire Lord’s words were not to be ignored. No matter how prepared Arcane Wizard Setoh was, just a moment’s delay was enough for Progenitor Hanra to annihilate Merlin.
So, win or lose, Merlin was destined to be in danger.
“Very well, since you’ve decided and things have progressed to this stage, we can’t change it anymore. In these few days, you should make preparations. If you really can’t win, then retreat at once. Arcane Wizard Setoh will immediately allow the Great Legends to intervene and launch a civilization war!”
Merlin nodded. As he had guessed, Arcane Wizard Setoh was indeed prepared to launch a civilization war.
Subsequently, after the Blackfire Lord left, Merlin retrieved the illusion bead from his ring. A Mind Power Projection swiftly entered the illusion bead.
“Titus!”
Merlin’s Mind Power vibrated in the Illusory World. He knew that Titus would be able to feel it.
“Wizard Merlin, you’ve decided to fight the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies?”
“Yes, and Arcane Wizard Setoh has agreed to it!”
Titus fell silent, a hint of helplessness on his face.
After a long time, he sighed and said, “The Illusory World is powerful but your Mind Power isn’t strong enough, and can only hold it for a short time. Even if you’re somehow able to confuse the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies, do you have a chance to defeat them?”
“I’ll give it a try.”
Titus did not know that Merlin had cultivated Darkness Eye. Nonetheless, even Merlin himself was not sure whether the seventh form of Darkness Eye was enough to defeat the Progenitor’s Body formed by the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies.
“If you can achieve the enlightenment on the Illusory Heart, then what are six civilization-level prodigies? Use this time and devote yourself to understand the Illusory Heart. I’ll help you!”
Titus said with gritted teeth.
A smile appeared on Merlin’s face. He nodded. “I was thinking that as well. If I can achieve the enlightenment of the Illusory Heart, then there’s nothing I need to worry about.”
Nevertheless, both Merlin and Titus knew that the chances of Merlin achieving the enlightenment on the Illusory Heart in such a short period were close to none. All they could do now was try.
Hence, with Titus’ help, Merlin devoted all his energy into understanding the Illusory Heart.
