A Wizard’s Secret

“Haha, I’m finally free… The magnificent world of freedom, I’m back… Everyone will become my believers! First, I’ll destroy Holy City, and destroy every trace of that despicable Saitu!”

The Demon God Vauna was seated on the golden throne, his voice echoing in the air, laughing freely.

After so many years, he had spent every day waiting for this moment. Now, he was finally set free, and vowed to wipe out every trace of Spell Casters.

“Almighty God, your light guides your faithful believers forever!”

Seeing the majestic figure seated on the golden throne, the Church of Demon’s believers became even more zealous than before. Their chanting continued, filling the entire dimension.

At this moment, almost all the believers of the Church of Demon were strengthened in their faith. Multiple strands of powers of faith began to gather from all directions, flying directly into Demon God Vauna’s body.

These powers of faith were swiftly transformed into divinity, allowing Demon God Vauna to feel energized. His gaze locked upon Holy City far away, and a look of cruelty filled his eyes.

“Boom.”

Demon God Vauna stood up suddenly, his majestic body full of destructive powers. Even the Great Wizards hovering in the air felt suffocated. Such powers were completely beyond their resistance.

“Destroy!”

Demon God Vauna stretched out a finger and prepared to press down. However, at this moment, a crisp sound sliced through the air. From Holy City, an ancient round disc flew out mightily.

The ancient round disc grew bigger as it soared through the air. When it was in the middle of the sky, its size had expanded to cover the sun and the sky. In the middle of the round disc, there was an inscription of the word “Bind” in the Moltan language.

“Bind!”

The huge “Bind” word suddenly flew out, and grew bigger. Then, like a large net, it swiftly covered Demon God Vauna. Simultaneously, Demon God Vauna’s face shifted drastically. All the divinity in his body seemed to be triggered at once, and began to burn wildly.

“Eh? What’s this nonsense? Why is it able to suppress me? No, I’m an almighty God, the master of the dimension…”

Demon God Vauna released a tortured screech. He would never have thought in his wildest dreams, that his divinity would not only be useless but instead quicken his destruction. The huge “Bind” word had covered Demon God Vauna like a large net, and trapped him within. Demon God Vauna’s divinity started to burn fiercely, causing him to screech uncontrollably.

Following that, Demon God Vauna was forcefully dragged into the huge ancient disc.

“Thump.”

The round disc closed shut, and rapidly shrunk. Then, it flew into the hands of the two strangers flying from Holy City.

Just like that, Demon God Vauna was suppressed once again, and squashed into a strange ancient disc. All these abrupt changes threw everyone into a disconcerted, disbelieving state.

The entire Holy City, as well as the Church of Demon’s believers, were completely dumbstruck. Their almighty god was suppressed just like that? Earlier, he seemed like an omnipotent god that could destroy the entire world, but now, he had disappeared without a trace.

“Swish.”

It was Paul who first flew in front of the twenty over Great Wizards. Excitedly, he said to a wrinkly but kind-looking female Wizard, “Teacher Anna, I’m back. I also brought with me Great Legend Saitu’s disciple. Legend Saitu did not abandon us, he still cares for us. This is Wizard Merlin. It was he who re-suppressed Demon God Vauna earlier!”

Paul’s tone clearly revealed his excitement. In the eyes of all the Spell Casters in this dimension, Wizard Saitu was supreme and capable of accomplishing anything.

The idea that his disciple had come to suppress Demon God Vauna was something they were able to accept in stride.

Wizard Anna and the other Great Wizards looked at Merlin with eagerness. Their hopes for Legend Saitu to intervene had finally been fulfilled. Although Legend Saitu did not come in person, he had sent his disciple who had suppressed Demon God Vauna, thus preventing their world from falling to its darkest era.

“Wizard Merlin, we’re truly grateful to Legend Saitu for sending you to save us. You have prevented us from plunging into the darkest era. Where’s Legend Saitu? Why didn’t he return?”

Wizard Anna’s words represented the thoughts of many other Great Wizards.

Merlin shook his head and said, “Teacher Saitu is dead. I only discovered the coordinates of this dimension when I was sorting through his belongings, so I came here in a hurry. Fortunately, I was not too late!”

Merlin was still a little shaken. The completed God-Binding Disc was quite ineffective toward an ordinary Legend yet it held some sort of suppressive power over the gods. Even Demon God Vauna, who was comparable to a Great Legend, could be easily suppressed into the God-Binding Disc.

Faced with Wizard Anna’s probing, Merlin cleverly made up another lie. This was to avoid any future complications. Once he had established that Saitu was dead, added with the fact that he had suppressed Demon God Vauna, his identity as Legend Saitu’s disciple was rock-solid. No one would doubt him.

This would be of utmost benefit for Merlin and Alcra to take control of this dimension.

“Dead? How could a Great Legend die?”

All the Great Wizards revealed looks of incredulity on their faces, some of them filled with disbelief.

Merlin shook his head in despair. “It’s a long story, but right now, aren’t we in a final battle? Although Demon God Vauna has been suppressed, the Church of Demon still exists. We need to defeat the Church of Demon so that Demon God Vauna will never be free again!”

“You’re right, defeat the Church of Demon first!”

All the Great Wizards were reminded with a jolt. Although Demon God Vauna had been suppressed, it was not yet time to let down their guard. Before them still stood the Church of Demon, which had large numbers and powerful abilities.

At this moment, the Church of Demon’s believers also seemed to recollect their wits, and their expressions turned frenzied.

“All of god’s most faithful believers, right now our god has encountered some difficulties. He was trapped by the despicable Spell Casters using lowly tricks. We need to contribute our strength, and defeat these despicable Spell Casters so that we can save the almighty god!”

“Boom.”

The moment his voice fell, legendary powers of faith were emitted from the bodies of countless believers. It gradually gathered and formed an impressive force.

The Spell Casters outside Holy City wore a solemn expression. This was the final battle. Even without Demon God Vauna, they were still at a disadvantage, so this was fated to be a tragic battle.

“The Church of Demon’s force is mostly constituted of fanatic believers. Not only do we have to defeat them but we also cannot let anyone escape. So, I’d have to ask my friend to lend a hand!”

Merlin turned his gaze to Alcra, and smiled.

Suddenly, all the Great Wizards realized that beside Merlin, there was a unique-looking being. His entire body was lush emerald green, and did not appear to have any elemental fluctuations.

Alcra nodded, naturally understanding Merlin’s insinuation. Initially, he was quite worried about the terrifying Demon God Vauna but he did not expect that Merlin had such a powerful casting tool. Alcra did not know why Merlin did not use it in the Inceptive Dimension but this was Merlin’s secret, so Alcra would not ask.

“Boom.”

Alcra stepped into the air, and swiftly revealed his true form, which was a huge tree sprawling into the clouds. His massive canopy stretched out and covered almost a few hundred miles. It was truly breathtaking.

Almost everyone’s gaze was transfixed on Alcra. They had never seen such an astonishing sight.

“Wizard Merlin, this is…”

Merlin looked at the incomparably shocked Wizards and smiled. “Please don’t worry. As you may know, outside this world is vast and endless darkness. This sea of darkness is called the Void Zone. It contains countless foreign tribes that are completely different from the Spell Casters. Some of them are friendly, and some of them are wicked. Alcra is a friend of mine. He’s a friendly Tree Folk who came with me to save all of you, and help exile the Demon God!”

Wizard Anna seemed to hold a lot of weight among this group of Great Wizards. Upon listening to Merlin’s explanation, Great Wizard Anna’s eyes shone and whispered, “So the darkness outside our world is called the Void Zone! After Legend Saitu’s disappearance, there were some Wizards who left Holy City and entered the endless Void Zone, but no one has ever returned…”

Merlin nodded darkly in his heart. Ordinarily, Great Wizards were capable of leaving the dimension, but this was the open territory. In other words, it was the most dangerous territory. There were countless foreign tribe civilizations. Even Merlin and Alcra encountered several foreign tribe attacks on their way here, what more the Great Wizards who departed from this dimension?

Perhaps the reason they never returned was that they had encountered foreign tribes in the open territory, and were killed. It could only be attributed to their misfortune of being situated in the open territory. If they were situated within the Spell Caster civilization’s sphere of influence or in any of the less chaotic territories, this dimension could have gained an understanding of the outside world, and slowly entered the Void Zone.

However, their lack of understanding of the outside would make it easier for Merlin and Alcra to control the dimension.

Alcra had revealed his true form. Thick strands of root network swiftly blocked the sky, one ring after another, causing the Church of Demon’s believers to be securely imprisoned within the rings of Alcra’s root networks.

The Church of Demon’s believers released their attacks in unison. Multiple rays of white light with a scorching sensation landed on Alcra’s root network. Nevertheless, despite losing his nine Tree Saplings, Alcra was still at least comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard, so those attacks could not harm him.

Therefore, those attacks were completely useless against Alcra.

At this moment, Merlin stepped forward, and took a deep breath. Then, a huge Mind Power descended silently and invisibly, like a nightmare, and enveloped a majority of the Church of Demon’s believers.

Instantly, the Hallucinating spell that recently achieved the third step trapped the Church of Demon’s believers in an illusion. One by one, they quietened down, like dim-witted persons.

Seeing this scene unfold, all the Spell Casters outside Holy City were stunned. Their gazes toward Merlin turned even more awestruck.

“With such amazing abilities, it’s not surprising that you’re Legend Saitu’s disciple. In this final battle, we won’t lose Spell Casters anymore!”

A smile appeared on Wizard Anna’s face. Then, she waved her hand gently. In an instant, the numerous Spell Casters who were waiting outside Holy City rushed toward the countless Church of Demon’s believers.

The dreaded final battle instantly turned into a one-sided massacre. With Alcra’s imprisonment, none of the Church of Demon’s believers could escape, so the outcome was secured.

This world would once again return into the hands of the Spell Casters!
