A Wizard’s Secret

In the distant sky, surrounded by a storm so horrible that even space seemed to be distorted, a deity-like man leisurely treaded on air as he made his way toward them.

The Great Wizards who were initially planning to rely on their numerous numbers to put up a semblance of resistance, fell silent once they felt the suffocating power.

Just this aura alone made them feel that this battle was a lost cause. Kleis came to them brazenly with an unstoppable force!

“Kleis!”

Wizard Ian snarled loudly. A wild gale appeared in the sky and collided with the storm surrounding Kleis. Both forces met head-on, each frantically trying to smother the other.

“Good, everyone is here!”

The storm gradually dissipated, and Kleis remarked with a calm expression. Although he had come alone, the threat on the fifteen Great Wizards did not alleviate at all.

On the contrary, with Kleis standing before them right now, they seemed to realize that their previous assumptions had been incredibly naïve… Fortunately, they had Fog City’s alchemy puppet!

With this thought in mind, everyone shifted their gazes toward Wizard Ian from Fog City.

Wizard Ian smirked. “Kleis, back then, if not for the help of the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations in the northern Spell Caster world, would Ozmu have grown to what it is today? Your greed will be your downfall, as with Ozmu!”

Regardless of the harsh gazes from Wizard Ian and a dozen Great Wizards, Kleis’ expression remained completely calm.

“Fire!”

With a cruel glint in his eyes, Kleis gently extended his hand. Instantly, the surrounding temperature soared, and violent flames began to burn.

The fire elements in their surrounding seemed to be completely controlled by Kleis. The terrifying flame spell was immediately upped to an unimaginable level.

This was the power of a preeminent Great Wizard!

“This is bad. A preeminent Great Wizard is too powerful, he’s not someone we can stand against… Wizard Ian, act quickly, otherwise, it would be too late. The entire Fog City will be destroyed!”

Even though there were a total of fifteen Great Wizards, these fifteen Great Wizards had come to realize that they were utterly defenseless against Kleis. In fact, they were unable to counter even a random spell wielded by Kleis. Right now, they could only pin their hopes on the mysterious and powerful alchemy puppet that belonged to Fog City.

“Wake up now, Kallius!”

Wizard Ian took a deep breath, and swiftly entered a bunch of complex runes into the large square.

“Rumble rumble.”

Suddenly, the entire Fog City seemed to be quaking. On the large square, a huge crack appeared. Through the crack, an immensely huge, pitch-black alchemy puppet could be seen.

“Kallius? In the Molta language, it means ‘invincible’. Is this the final trump card of the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations in the northern Spell Caster world?”

Despite seeing this menacing alchemy puppet, Kleis still appeared unruffled, almost as if he had already expected it.

“That’s right. Do you think Ozmu truly knows the foundation of Seven Major Spell Caster world? Invincible Kallius, kill the enemy before you!”

Following Wizard Ian’s command, the gigantic alchemy puppet Kallius flew out of the crack vehemently, and stood in the air.

In the Molta language, Kallius indeed meant “invincible”. The fact that this alchemy puppet was bestowed such a name spoke volumes of its might back in the day.

“Boom.”

In reality, Kallius was truly powerful. Its punch released an unimaginable burst of strength. This violently oppressive force exerted such a strong pressure around Kleis, that the elemental fluctuations surrounding him were completely crushed.

Kleis was a Five-Elemental Spell Caster ¹ who leveled up to become a Great Wizard, so he was at least the most preeminent Great Wizard. Since this alchemy puppet was able to crush a preeminent Great Wizard’s elemental fluctuations, it had demonstrated the extent of its might.

“Good, truly worthy of being the trump card of the Seven Major Spell Caster organization. Now it’s more interesting!”

Finally, a more serious look appeared on Kleis’ face. With a gentle wave of his hand, the flames instantaneously transformed into a large shield in the air.

“Crack.”

However, the spell that Kleis so painstakingly cast was smashed by the alchemy puppet with just a single punch. Moreover, its aftershocks were still whistling straight at Kleis.

“This alchemy puppet is truly impressive, even more powerful than the alchemy puppet Ozmu had obtained!”

Kleis retreated one step after another as he consecutively released several spells. Finally, he was able to withstand the alchemy puppet’s punch. Nonetheless, this was merely the first punch.

Subsequently, the alchemy puppet Kallius turned incomparably ruthless. Its gigantic body was like a dark shadow that constantly shrouded Kleis. It had suppressed the area surrounding Kleis, exerting massive pressure on him.

Kleis could only resist desperately, completely at a disadvantage. However, the strange thing was that there was not a trace of worry on his face. Instead, he appeared to be quite relaxed.

“Kleis is suppressed? Haha, looks like the Seven Major Spell Caster organization will win hands down!”

“Bravo. Kleis is quite impressive too. He’s unequivocally the most preeminent Great Wizard. If not for this alchemy puppet of Fog City, then the entire northern Spell Caster world might have been ruled by Ozmu.”

Many of the Great Wizards could clearly see that Kleis was at a disadvantage. It seemed like a complete defeat was imminent. Perhaps, the alchemy puppet could even leverage on some opportunity to kill Kleis.

In that case, not only would it crush Ozmu but they might be able to occupy the southern Spell Caster world, turning a risky situation into an opportunity.

Nevertheless, only Wizard Ian remained uneasy.

“This seems too easy?”

Wizard Ian knew of Kleis’ prowess as well as his reputation. Despite having confidence in Fog City’s alchemy puppet, he did not think that it would proceed so smoothly.

“What am I missing?”

Wizard Ian stared unblinkingly at the battlefield. As a result of the face-off between the alchemy puppet and Kleis, Fog City’s surroundings had almost been completely leveled.

“Bang.”

There was another hard collision. This time, Kleis was sent flying by the alchemy puppet.

“Whoosh.”

Suddenly, Kleis, who was sent flying, no longer rushed forward. On the contrary, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth as he slashed with his hand.

“Chi.”

Space shattered. A gaping black hole appeared in the sky.

An epiphany flashed across Wizard Ian’s mind. He was jolted awake as a look of shock appeared on his face. He finally realized what he was worried about.

“Spatial Demon Ability. Kleis’ Spatial Demon Ability!”

A distance away, Kleis pointed two fingers with a cold expression. Immediately, an invisible force ripped through space and flew toward the alchemy puppet…
