A Wizard’s Secret

“No danger?”

Merlin did not believe it. Just a moment ago, he felt a violent surge of danger. If he had not taken the opportunity to escape, something unbeknownst might have occurred.

That surge of danger came very quickly, without any hint of premonition. Hence, Merlin glared unblinkingly at the Progenitor’s Bodies on the battlefield but he did not discover anything out of the ordinary.

Nevertheless, the combination of Lach and Merlin managed to land a surprise attack on one Progenitor’s Body. About a dozen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures in it died, so it was a huge loss to the Rock Tribe. In contrast, it was a large victory dance for the Spell Casters.

“Merlin again!”

Progenitor Hanra narrowed his eyes, filled with maliciousness. Although one Progenitor’s Body had been defeated, he had predicted as much. He knew that Wizard Setoh would include Merlin in some of his tactics. However, he did not expect that it would be such a stealthy tactic. Merlin had immediately escaped after launching a single strike, so there was no opening for the Rock Tribe.

“This is bad. If this continues, Invisible Rock would’ve to depend on sheer luck!”

Progenitor Hanra gnashed his teeth in hatred. No matter how much he wanted to track down Merlin, due to Wizard Setoh’s interference, he would not be able to trace Merlin’s whereabouts.

“Invisible Rock, you must make some big moves to attract the Spell Caster camp’s attention. However, don’t expose yourself. I’m sure Merlin will aim for you. When that time comes, it’ll be your chance. No one will be able to save him!”

Progenitor Hanra’s voice resounded in Invisible Rock’s ear, who was hiding in one of the Progenitor’s Bodies. Following the death of a dozen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, Progenitor Hanra’s heart was obviously filled with rage. Nonetheless, they could not stop now. Without drawing Merlin out of hiding, they would not be able to win the war.

Right now, Progenitor Hanra could only wait!

…

“Phew…”

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He opened his eyes and looked at Legend Lach standing beside him. Shifting his attention to the battlefield, he asked softly, “Wizard Lach, how’s the situation on the battlefield?”

“Wizard Merlin, has your Mind Power recovered?”

In the past five days, Legend Lach had been standing guard beside Merlin. Naturally, he knew that Merlin was recovering his Mind Power.

Merlin nodded. “It has recovered quite a bit. Looking at the situation on the battlefield, it doesn’t look promising!”

Wizard Lach nodded and replied, “Indeed not very promising. Throughout the past five days, the Rock Tribe didn’t retreat at all. Instead, they had continued to press closer. Even though you’ve defeated a Progenitor’s Body, it’s insignificant to the Rock Tribe because it didn’t falter their foundation. Look at that Progenitor’s Body. It’s very powerful and has consecutively killed three Legendary Wizards!”

Merlin followed Wizard Lach’s gaze and saw the powerful Progenitor’s Body. Letting out an angry roar, it swung a punch. The terrifying blow sent countless Spell Casters flying.

Even some of the Great Honored Legends were finding it difficult to withstand its attacks.

“It’s indeed strong but comprised of very ordinary Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. They’re the breakthrough point so we may have a chance. Wizard Lach, get ready, we’ll defeat one Progenitor’s Body. If that’s still not enough to chase away the Rock Tribe, we’ll defeat another two, three or more Progenitor’s Bodies. How long more can the Rock Tribe hold on?”

Merlin’s lips curled into a cold-blooded smile.

Subsequently, both their gazes turned ruthless and their figures flew toward the battlefield.

“Swoosh.”

The sneaky Merlin and Lach appeared on the battlefield once again, and set their sights on the most active Progenitor’s Body, which had been attacking several Great Legends.

“You’re the one. Illusory World!”

Merlin did not hesitate, and immediately wielded the Illusory World. Instantly, the invisible Illusory World shrouded the entire Progenitor’s Body.

Legend Lach was already completely in sync with Merlin. So, with a stretch of his hand, his ultimate Maxim descended like a giant mountain.

“Boom.”

There was a huge crashing sound, and everything proceeded smoothly. Thin cracks began to emerge on this Progenitor’s Body. It would break at any time.

“One more time!”

Legend Lach was ready to launch another strike when suddenly, a chilling aura rose into the air. Even Legend Lach felt a shudder in his heart.

“This… This is a Great Lord! Moreover, it’s the strongest Lord. Oh no, we’ve been tricked. Wizard Merlin, leave now!”

Legend Lach bellowed. His entire body was bearing a tremendous pressure. A power, like ripples of a wave, was descending upon Legend Lach.

“Crack.”

The tremendous force violently smashed down on Legend Lach. The ultimate Maxim that covered his body became completely useless and was immediately crushed into fine dust.

Subsequently, the invisible force shifted onto Legend Lach. The esteemed Honored Legend cried out in distress, and was reduced into a bloody mist the next instant.

Wizard Lach’s aura had disappeared completely!

“Died?”

“Legend Lach had died?”

“He’s a Great Honored Legend. The first Honored Legend has gone down in this civilization war…”

The entire battlefield seemed to fall into dead silence. Wizard Lach was not an ordinary Spell Caster but a Great Honored Legend. Ever since the beginning of the civilization war, the death of Great Legends had become quite normal but this was the first time an Honored Legend was killed!

“Boom.”

The Progenitor’s Body collapsed, and a foreign silhouette emerged from within. The chilling aura it exuded was comparable to a powerful Lord. In fact, it was even more powerful than the Blackfire Lord!

“Merlin, their target is Wizard Merlin!”

“Merlin, escape now!”

Many of the Spell Casters had realized with a jolt that Wizard Lach’s death was simply the beginning. This Rock Creature who had been hiding in the Progenitor’s Body was obviously charging at Merlin. His aim was to kill Merlin!

Right now, both the Spell Caster camp and the Rock Tribe camp knew of Merlin’s usefulness. He could be almost considered to be the key to the war. Therefore, they would not hold back any effort to protect Merlin.

Upon Wizard Lach’s death, and looking at the imminent attack of the mighty Rock Creature who was comparable to a Great Lord, numerous Spell Casters immediately rushed to Merlin’s side. However, even the Legendary Wizard who was closest to Merlin would not be able to reach in time before the mighty Rock Creature.

The Blackfire Lord frantically rushed over, roaring at the top of his lungs. Even the other Lords also hastily rushed over but the distance was too far.

“Little guy, after so many days, you’ve finally come a-knocking!”

Invisible Rock – the Rock Creature comparable to a Great Lord was of course, the secret weapon previously arranged by Progenitor Hanra. Finally, Invisible Rock was able to reveal himself and pointed directly at Merlin.

At this moment, Progenitor Hanra’s face broke into a relieved smile whereas Invisible Rock’s eyes were filled with vindictiveness.

At the same moment, Wizard Setoh did not move the slightest whereas Merlin, despite sensing the chilling power comparable to a Great Lord, remained completely calm.
