A Wizard’s Secret - Chapter 750

Chapter 750: Crisis I

“Clink clink clink.”

Merlin’s Maxim Chain was extremely terrifying. These were chains formed with his ultimate Maxim, and was Merlin’s most familiar method of attack.

“Root of Darkness!”

Oflas was also an Honored Legend, and both had consolidated Darkness-type ultimate Maxims. Oflas had fought against other Honored Legends but this was his first time going up against an Honored Legend of the same type.

Merlin was quite excited. Although Maya and he were evenly matched, Maya was not a Spell Caster after all, and did not have a Maxim. His power was completely different from Spell Casters.

It was also Merlin’s first time fighting another Honored Legend after forming an ultimate Maxim, and becoming an Honored Legend himself.

Oflas waved his hand and a huge vortex formed as if madly devouring the Darkness. Pure darkness was not Darkness Elements but complete darkness.

The entire Void Zone seemed to twist and merge into Oflas’ Root of Darkness.

“Boom.”

The two Maxims viciously collided and intertwined with each other. They were both ultimate Maxims but the way they manifested were too different. It was not far-fetched to say that they were ever-changing.

Merlin’s was the Maxim Chains, and Oflas’ was the Root of Darkness. However, their essences were the same. As long as an ultimate Maxim was formed, that meant they had almost reached the peak and was enlightened on the essence of that Element. With that thorough understanding, there was no gap anymore.

At this time, the difference would be how many ultimate Maxims were formed. Great Lords condensed at least two ultimate Maxims.

Therefore, with Merlin’s ultimate Wizard Heart, he was naturally stronger than ordinary Spell Casters. However, he would be stronger not because of the Maxims itself but because he could condense more Maxims.

For example, Merlin wished to form an ultimate Maxim with his Fire-type spells, which would be his second ultimate Maxim. If he succeeded, he would become a Great Lord!

Merlin and Oflas’ Maims caused a whirlwind and swept across all the directions. The surrounding Legendary Wizards had long since made themselves scarce and hid far away, afraid of being affected. The ordinary Maxims they comprehended would be suppressed by the ultimate Maxims.

The Maxims of the two Wizards collided with each other, evenly matched. They were both Honored Legends. Without a decisive force, it would be difficult for one of them to emerge victorious.

Unless one could completely suppress the other’s Maxim, no other means would be of help. Merlin generally knew that his current strength had reached that of an Honored Legend. The gap between them was minute.

Only when Merlin’s Hallucinating spell broke through the realm of the Illusory Heart, and he became a Ninth-level Mind Power Master, could he completely suppress an Honored Legend!

“Enough!”

Suddenly, a loud voice rang in the Void Zone. A Darkness and Flame Matrix intertwined and viciously separated Merlin and Oflas.

Merlin and Oflas were both shocked, feeling the grand power. These were two ultimate Maxims that belonged to a Great Lord. They stood no chance against it.

“Sir Lord!”

“Teacher!”

Oflas looked at the Wizard who suddenly appeared with fear. It was the Blackfire Lord.

At this point, the Blackfire Lord looked at Merlin with an expression of relief. He had never imagined that Merlin could condense an Ultimate Maxim in such a short amount of time and became an Honored Legend!

During the civilization war with the Rock Tribe, the strength Merlin showed surpassed even civilization-level prodigies, and he was valued by many Legendary Wizards.

However, Merlin had never formed a Maxim and become a Legendary Wizard. No matter how strong a prodigy was, he would only be a prodigy, and not a contender.

Now, Merlin had achieved success and formed an ultimate Maxim, becoming an Honored Legend. He was no less stronger than the Legend of Darkness, Oflas. Merlin could be said to have walked to the peak. He was now one of the powerful Great Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization.

“Merlin, come with me.”

The Blackfire Lord glanced at Oflas but did not say anything. Merlin also did not want to kill Oflas. He was just angry at the thought that he was almost controlled by Oflas in the past.

This was humiliating for Oflas but it also made him sigh in relief.

“Haha.”

Just as he brought Merlin back to Setoh Arcane City, the Blackfire Lord started laughing.

“Merlin, many people don’t like Oflas but no one dares to cause trouble for him. After all, he’s a well-known Honored Legend and is quite powerful. Who would’ve thought that he would be so humiliated today after you’ve made such a fuss?”

The Blackfire Lord gazed at Merlin full of joy. He did not care about Oflas as he was the oldest Lord, and his relationship with Arcane Wizard Setoh was also special. How would he care about one Honored Legend?

However, this did not mean that he did not know Oflas’ strength. In the Spell Caster civilization, Oflas was a powerful force. Otherwise, he would not have been able to create his “Darkness Country”.

However, now, the powerful Oflas had been humiliated by Merlin.

“Teacher Blackfire, I only acted on the spur of the moment. I won’t cause trouble for Oflas anymore.”

Merlin knew that Oflas was an Honored Legend of Setoh Arcane City. Every Honored Legend had very high status. Arcane Wizard Setoh would not let two Honored Legends fight to the death.

Therefore, the matter today with Oflas no longer continued. It could be over between them.

The Blackfire Lord nodded. “Yes. Merlin, out of all my disciples, I like you the most, and you haven’t let me down. You’re the first to become an Honored Legend. Now that you’re an Honored Legend, I’m also slightly relieved.”

Seeing the Blackfire Lord frown, Merlin was touched. Becoming an Honored Legend was only slightly reassuring. It seemed that the matter this time was not simple.

“Teacher, what exactly happened? Arcane Wizard Setoh summoned us back. Is it because a civilization war started again?”

To summon so many Legendary Wizards at once, and even cause the Blackfire Lord to be deeply worried, the situation was not simple. Merlin immediately thought about a civilization war.

“It’s more serious than a civilization war! This time, it’s not only Setoh Arcane City. All three Great Arcane Cities have been fully mobilized. Our Spell Caster civilization hasn’t been mobilized like this for a long time.”

There was a hint of grimness in the Blackfire Lord’s tone.

“All three Great Arcane Cities have been mobilized? Isn’t that the same as mobilizing the entire Spell Caster civilization?”

Merlin gasped in shock. He had thought that only Setoh Arcane City was in trouble but it seemed not that it was not that simple. All three Great Arcane Cities, and the Spell Caster civilization, were in trouble.

“Could it be the God Alliance?”

Merlin immediately thought about the God Alliance. Only the God Alliance had the power to make the Spell Caster civilization so nervous. After all, the God Alliance comprised of eight gods organizations. Excluding the Light God Organization, there were still seven god organizations.

However, the God Alliance was generally scattered, and would never unite to fight against a civilization.

“It’s not the God Alliance, but the Rock Tribe.”

The Blackfire Lord said solemnly.

“The Rock Tribe? Didn’t the Rock Tribe lose in the last civilization war? How could they still have the strength to start another civilization war?”

Merlin thought about the Rock Tribe’s forces. The last time, only Setoh Arcane City fought in the war against the Rock Tribe. It did not seem necessary to mobilize the entire Spell Caster civilization.

“There are some things that you should know. In addition to the Rock Tribe, what’s making the three Great Arcane Cities more worried about is the Atlan civilization, your hometown. Back then, the Glorious Land was heavily damaged by the Atlan civilization. The war started thousands of years ago and continues until today. It hasn’t ended yet. This time, the Rock Trobe had contacted the Atlan civilization through unknown means. The situation is very unfavorable to the Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, all three Great Arcane Cities had to be mobilized.”

The Blackfire Lord finally explained the reason. It was because of the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization. Many Spell Casters did not even know about the existence of the Atlan civilization.

Only Spell Casters above Legendary level, especially the Wizards who had experienced the bitter war in the past, knew the terror of the Atlan civilization.

At that moment, Merlin fell silent.

Merlin obtained an empire-level warship from the Atlan civilization. No one knew how terrifying the Atlan civilization was more than he did. As long as there were resources and energy, the potential of the Atlan civilization was almost unimaginable.

Now, the Rock Tribe and the Atlan civilization joined forces. There was no doubt that they both had a common enemy — the Spell Caster civilization! It was not surprising that the three Great Arcane Cities were so nervous this time. The threat of the Rock Tribe was relatively small but the Atlan civilization was a force that not even the Three Great Arcane Wizards dared to underestimate.

In the beginning, it was the Spell Caster civilization that opened up the Atlan civilization. Later, they experienced a nightmarish war, which caused the place the Spell Caster originated from to suffer great damages.
