A Wizard’s Secret

“Haha, these Rock Creatures aren’t that bad. I thought they’d have some formidable abilities that make them unable to be killed…”

Wizard Rael rubbed his bald head. For some unknown reason, ever since Wizard Rael started combining Spell Models and succeeded in becoming a preeminent Great Wizard, his hair had been decreasing. In the end, Rael simply shaved off his hair and became bald but it added a fierce touch to him.

Specifically, when he crushed thirty Rock Creatures with one palm, it made others feel overwhelmed.

Saturn and the others were not surprised. One preeminent Great Wizard could go against ten peak Great Wizards or even more. After all, an ordinary Spell Caster could only reach peak Great Wizard if they cultivated step by step. They needed extremely high gifts and destiny to become a preeminent Great Wizard.

The remaining seventy Rock Creatures now focused on Wizard Rael’s figure. Rael wanted to act again but was stopped by Saturn, who smiled and said, “Rael, you’ve done your part in the first battle. Let me handle the rest.”

Without waiting for Rael to respond, Saturn pointed a finger, and a vortex formed by highly condensed Wind Elementals instantly appeared in the air.

The vortex was also quite mysterious. It was as if it was alive. It breathed continuously, contracting, and expanding ten times in a row before suddenly rumbling and swelling. A dazzling fiery red light accompanied the terrifying shock wave, heading toward the seventy Rock Creatures.

“Crack.”

These Rock Creatures, without the slightest resistance, were all blown to pieces instantly by Wizard Saturn’s attack. They were directly annihilated and crumbled into ashes which scattered away.

Seventy Rock Creatures disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even Wizard Rael’s speed was not that quick. This also indirectly proved that Saturn really was stronger than Wizard Rael. Although they were both preeminent Great Wizards, Saturn was right below Legends, and was an extremely powerful being!

“Wizard Saturn, Wizard Rael, you two took all the limelight. We haven’t done anything at all but there’s already nothing left…”

Wizard Vic and the others swiftly flew over and shook their heads after seeing the fine powder on the ground.

“Haha, there’ll be more chances later. However, these Rock Creatures really aren’t that strong!”

Saturn was the strongest being under Legends, so he naturally felt that these Rock Creatures were not strong. For Rock Creatures like these, even a thousand or ten thousand of them were of no threat to him.

“Everyone, don’t let your guard down. This Rock Tribe team was, at best, a relatively stronger group in the Seely Dimension. They’re not the most powerful!”

The five Spell Casters at the side returned to their senses. They immediately went over when they had heard Saturn and the others mention that the Rock Creatures were not strong.

Saturn and the others seemed to only just recall that there were other Spell Casters, and directed their attention toward the five Spell Casters.

These five Spell Casters felt a little uncomfortable but they adjusted their mood quickly, knowing that this team in front of them was terrifyingly powerful. They might have just arrived at the Seely Dimension.

“Did you all just arrive at the Seely Dimension?”

Saturn nodded and said calmly. “How did you know? We indeed just hurried over to the front line from Arcane City…”

“What? You’re Spell Casters from Arcane City?”

The five Spell Casters were pleasantly surprised to hear Saturn said that they were sent from Arcane City to the front line.

“We’re indeed from Setoh Arcane City!”

Rael also said with a low voice, keeping his sharp eyes on the five Spell Casters.

“Fellow Wizards, please don’t misunderstand. We’re very happy about your arrival. All the Spell Casters at the Seely Dimension are very happy that you’ve rushed over. The dimension battle at the front line is very difficult, and we’re at a disadvantage in almost every battle for dimensions. The main reason is that there are just too few powerful Wizards. However, Arcane City is a place where geniuses gather, and every Potential Wizard there is outstanding. We’ve long expected you to come. Haha, now that you’re here, our days will be much better.”

Each of the five Spell Casters showed smiles on their faces. As the war in the front line broke out too suddenly, the three great Arcane Cities did not mobilize on a large scale. As a result, there were very few strong Spell Casters under Legend.

“You don’t have to worry now. The Ultimate Arcane Wizards have already begun to call upon Spell Casters from Arcane City. We’re the first to arrive!”

Saturn explained simply to the five.

After chatting for a while, the white-robed Wizard among the five Spell Casters said quietly, “Gentlemen, it’s not safe here. Why don’t you come back with us to the Spell Caster gathering area? We can take our time making decisions there.”

However, Saturn and Rael shook their heads. “We came to the Seely Dimension to find Rock Creatures, and expel all of them from the Seely Dimension as soon as possible. Right, you should have been in the Seely Dimension for a while. Do you know any places nearby where Rock Creatures gather?”

“There are places where the Rock Creatures gather. It’s in the Northwest, and you’ll reach it in about half a day’s journey. It’s called Tanloan City, and it’s the largest Rock Tribe stronghold in the vicinity. However, there are three powerful Rock Creatures comparable to preeminent Great Wizards in Tanloan City as well as eight comparable to peak Great Wizards, and more than twenty comparable to ordinary Great Wizards.

“Furthermore, the entire Tanloan City has its own defense system unique to the Rock Tribe, making it even harder to breach. There are nearly twenty thousand Rock Creatures living in there. Together, they’re a terrifying force!”

The five Spell Casters told Merlin and the others about Tanloan City.

“Three upper rank Rock Creatures comparable to preeminent Great Wizards?”

Saturn, Rael, and the others glanced at each other, and felt their eyes brighten. A defensive power like this really was powerful. In the Seely Dimension, with the Rock Tribe’s current strength, no one would be able to go against them.

However, Saturn got more excited the more he thought about it. He was the strongest being below Legends. Even in the chaotic and bloody open territory, strong beings below Legends like Luca and Nestia ran rampant. Apart from freaks like Tuota and Alcra who were comparable to Great Legends, Luca, Nestia, and Saturn were almost the strongest beings.

Therefore, even if it were ten preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures, much less three, Saturn did not care as long as he would not encounter strong Wizards below Legends like Luca.

“Good, we’ll go to Tanloan City, and directly destroy the Rock Tribe’s stronghold in the Seely Dimension. It’s better than going around randomly and ending up not finding any Rock Creatures.”

Saturn’s eyes swept over Rael and the others.

“I agree. Destroying Tanloan City huh. I believe that’ll cause a sensation.”

“Haha, once Tanloan City is destroyed, the seven of us will become a thorn in the Rock Tribe’s side but isn’t that exactly what we want? We’ll use the shortest time possible to drive out the Rock Tribe from the Seely Dimension. The Seely Dimension will fall into us Spell Casters’ hands!”

The group of seven all agreed to Saturn’s plan. Even Merlin did not feel threatened by the three preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures.

Hearing Merlin and the other’s relaxed laughter as if they did not care about Tanloan City, the five Spell Casters glanced at each other in surprise but could not help but say, “Fellow Wizards, could our Mystic Squad follow you to Tanloan City?”

“Follow us? Aren’t you afraid of danger?”

Saturn seemingly smiled as he looked at the five Spell Casters. Although they called themselves “Mystics”, they did not have any mystical powers.

“Haha, although we’re weak, we still have three peak Great Wizards. I believe that we’ll be able to help a little at that time. If it really fails, we might be able to safely withdraw with us leading.”

In reality, the Mystic Squad just wanted to see if the Potential Wizards of Arcane City could really destroy the Rock Tribe’s strongest stronghold.

“It’ll indeed be more convenient with you around. Since you also want to go, then lead the way. We’ll be able to reach Tanloan City quicker.”

Saturn hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing to their request.

“Alright, we’ll lead the way now!”

The five Spell Casters were all very excited to be able to rush into such a deep place belonging to the Rock Tribe. They had some adventurous spirits, so they naturally were not afraid. Thus, they swiftly brought Merlin and the others and flew to Tanloan City as fast as they could.

…

The spacious plain was full of solid black stones. In the past, this was a vast grassland in the Seely Dimension but now, the grass was no longer there. There were only cold, lifeless rocks.

Somewhere in the plains stood a small city surrounded by tall walls. It looked like an oval ball.

In the sky, there was a gray protective shroud of light, like an eggshell, that hung over the small city. A few powerful Rock Creatures walked in and out of the city.

“There seems to be a fight not far from here. I can still clearly feel loathsome Spell Casters’ Elemental fluctuations. Which team is patrolling nearby?”

A Rock Creature glowing with dim light closed its eyes, and asked the Rock Creature in front of it.

“The nearby patrol is Squad Five. They most likely encountered some Spell Casters but with Squad Five’s strength, they should have already dealt with those Spell Casters by now.”

A tall Rock Creatures replied respectfully.

“Well, let’s go. Those Spell Casters have been becoming more active recently. Although those cowardly Spell Casters don’t dare to come to Tanloan City, we’ll still send out a patrol to be safe!”

“Yes, I’ll arrange it immediately!”

Then, the Rock Creature glowing dimly slowly disappeared…

…

“Fellow Wizards, the small city in front is Tanloan City. However, we can’t approach any further, otherwise, we’ll easily be discovered.”

The Mystic Squad brought Saturn and the others to a place not far from Tanloan City.

The two teams stopped, and Saturn and Rael took a closer look at the defense measures around Tanloan City. Wizard Rael’s expression gradually became solemn as he said, “These Rock Creatures do know some strange tricks. I won’t be able to break such a defensive power in a short amount of time. Saturn, I’ll leave this to you instead.”

Everyone looked nervously at Saturn. If even Saturn had no way of breaching the Tanloan City’s defenses, then coming here was for nothing.

Saturn silently looked at Tanloan City, and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Three tries. It’ll only take three tries, then I’ll be able to break through Tanloan City’s defenses. All of you, prepare yourselves!”

Everyone felt pleased. Saturn then fiercely flew alone to Tanloan City.

Arrot’s current expression was rather downcast, and he said to Merlin who was standing beside him, “Merlin, we haven’t done anything at all. To be honest, there are not many opportunities for us to make any moves in this team.”

Merlin knew that Arrot was referring to how the both of them were just Ninth-level Spell Casters. They would not be able to help much.

However, Merlin laughed as he looked at the distant Tanloan City. “There are twenty thousand Rock Creatures in Tanloan City. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely have the chance!”

Then, everyone’s attention focused on the air. The Elemental fluctuations on Saturn’s body were getting more intense!
