A Wizard’s Secret

Spatial Demon Ability. As everyone knew, the famous Kleis was a rare Spatial Wizard with an unparalleled mighty Spatial Demon Ability.

However, since no one had seen it before, they gradually forgot about Kleis’ Spatial Demon Ability!

Even without the Spatial Demon Ability, per his identity as a Five-Elemental Spell Caster ¹ , Kleis was already a most preeminent Great Wizard. So, if he were to wield his Spatial Demon Ability, how much more powerful would he be?

At the very least, Wizard Ian felt his blood ran cold, and his mind blanked white.

“Chi chi.”

Spatial energy, like an incomparably sharp knife, lightly ripped space apart. Streaks of black gashes appeared in the sky.

These gashes expanded rapidly, and eventually shrouded the gigantic alchemy puppet Kallius.

The black rays on Kallius’ body flashed continuously, seemingly cognizant of the substantial threat. Then, it stopped and tried to resist Kleis’ Spatial Demon Ability.

At this time, the alchemy puppet Kallius, who was capable of vanquishing preeminent Great Wizards, appeared to be defenseless. The black rays on its body gradually dimmed and disappeared altogether.

“Crack.”

At last, cracks began to surface on Kallius’ body. The cracks grew bigger and deeper, until finally, it shattered into smithereens.

“How could this be? Even the alchemy puppet is unable to defeat Kallius?”

The fifteen Great Wizards who were gathered in Fog City stared at the shattered mess on the ground, utterly stunned. After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes, the formidability of the alchemy puppet Kallius. It was undeniably comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard.

In the beginning, the alchemy puppet did not disappoint. It was able to keep Kleis subjugated up until the moment he wielded the Spatial Demon Ability. Subsequently, the odds were completely reversed, and the alchemy puppet was unable to withstand even a single strike.

Equipped with the special Spatial Demon Ability, Kleis had far surpassed the likes of a preeminent Great Wizard.

“Everyone, if you have any other tactics, please feel free to wield them now. Otherwise, you won’t have another chance!”

Kleis’ tone remained calm as though his act of defeating the alchemy puppet was simply a negligible event. All around him, space was distorted and crushed, clearly establishing his dominance as a Spatial Wizard.

“Wizard Ian, quickly think of something! This is your Fog City!”

“Wizard Ian, let’s hurry into Fog City. With Fog City’s thousand-year foundation, I’m sure we’ll be able to resist Kleis and Ozmu!”

All the Great Wizards appeared to be in favor of retreating. Kleis before them was so powerful that they all felt despair.

“Retreat into Fog City. Use the Runic Magic Circle to hold on for a while!”

Wizard Ian gritted his teeth. Right now, he had no other choice. The other Spell Casters might be able to escape but his Fog City was right here. There was nowhere for him to escape to, unless he abandoned this thousand-year legacy. Otherwise, he had no choice but to rely on Fog City’s Runic Magic Circle and some other defensive tactics to put up a semblance of resistance.

“Swish swish swish.”

One after another, the Great Wizards flew into Fog City. The Runic Magic Circle emitted white light, and rapidly covered the entire Fog City.

Besides this, Fog City also had several powerful alchemy puppets that could be dispatched to face a powerful enemy. Nevertheless, Kleis’ Spatial Demon Ability was too formidable. No matter how many alchemy puppets they send would be futile. Therefore, Wizard Ian could only defend to his death.

Of course, defending to his death would also be useless. His only hope was to seek assistance from the other large spell casters’ organizations.

Thus, Wizard Ian spoke to the dozen or so Great Wizards. “Everyone, my Fog City is now in jeopardy. If we fail to protect Fog City, which other spell casters’ organization in the northern Spell Caster world can stand against Kleis? I know that all of you still have some hidden forces that are guarding your respective organizations. It’s no use hiding them anymore. It’s time for us to lay out everything we have, and wage a final battle against Kleis. There’s no escape. Else, we’ll end up the same way as the southern Spell Caster world!”

Wizard Ian’s words were not to be taken lightly. Earlier, these Great Wizards had witnessed Kleis’ might for themselves. Any single spell casters’ organization would not be able to resist Kleis.

Perhaps, it was like Wizard Ian had warned. The final battle was upon them!

“Wizard Ian, please be rest assured. We’re well aware that if Fog City is destroyed, it would not be beneficial to the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations. With Kleis being so powerful, only by combining our forces that we may have a tiny hope of resisting him. We’ll inform our respective spell casters’ organizations immediately…”

Before one of the Great Wizards could even finish speaking, the entire Fog City quaked dreadfully. At the same time, everyone snapped their heads up toward the sky.

In the sky above Fog City, there was a large gash as deep as an abyss, rapidly spiraling down upon Fog City.

“Rumble.”

A huge impact befell. At this moment, the Runic Magic Circle was completely shattered. The space around them was filled with spiderweb-like cracks.

Kleis stood high up in the air, casting an indifferent gaze at Fog City below. The outcome of his first battle in the northern Spell Caster world seemed predetermined. Soon, he would achieve his grandiose dreams of ruling over the entire Spell Caster world.

“Slash!”

Kleis’ invisible Spatial Strength swiftly slashed down onto Fog City. The immense city was cut into blocks by Spatial Strength. The terrifying Spatial Slash was not a force that could be blocked even by the Great Wizards.

Kleis looked at the struggling masses beneath him. Once upon a time, he was also a weak Spell Caster who had infiltrated the Dark Magic Region, a small spell casters’ organization. Upon obtaining the Runic Magic Circle that could help him cultivate the Spatial Demon Ability and remove the final curse, he was at last able to cultivate this Spatial Demon Ability.

Thereafter, he slowly climbed through the ranks in Ozmu. He advanced step by step to achieve his current accomplishment, which was almost undefeatable!

“Only that one time. That was the only time I’ve lost… Anyway, soon, I’ll get rid of the northern Spell Caster world. Merlin, I’ll seek you out personally. That battle doesn’t mean anything!”

Unbidden thoughts flashed past Kleis’ mind. The scene of him losing to Merlin’s Darkness Eye seemed to replay in his mind.

That was the most humiliating defeat Kleis had suffered after cultivating the Spatial Demon Ability!

“Let’s fight to the end! Kleis isn’t sparing any of us, he’s trying to kill us as soon as possible. Fight!”

“Fog City is already destroyed. Even if we temporarily pledge allegiance to Ozmu, have you seen what happened to the Ninth-level Spell Casters from the southern Spell Caster world who had pledged their allegiances to Ozmu? All of them were wiped out. There are fifteen of us Great Wizards. If we join forces, perhaps there might be a chance!”

None of the Great Wizards were willing to pledge allegiance to Ozmu. If it was the former Ozmu which was focused on attracting talents, they would absorb some of the powerful Spell Casters.

However, since Kleis became the First Elder and took control of Ozmu, it became unusually bloodthirsty and cruel. Any Wizard from the southern Spell Caster world who had previously pledged their allegiance to Ozmu were all wiped out.

Therefore, learning from the past mistakes of the southern Spell Caster world, the Wizards of the northern Spell Caster world knew that pledging their allegiance to Ozmu would not amount to any good. Thus, they might as well fight to their last breath.

“Swish swish swish.”

Fifteen Great Wizards flew forward to confront Kleis with murderous glints in their eyes. Faced with the insane Kleis, they could only fight this battle to their last breath!

“That’s great. All of you cannot be trusted, so everyone must die!”

Kleis’ eyes turned bloodshot and his body exuded a bloodcurdling vibe.

Consequently, increasingly frightening Spatial elements appeared around Kleis. Wisps of spine-tingling power descended upon all the Great Wizards, making them aware of the unreachable gap between Kleis and them.

It appeared that Kleis would win this final battle without any doubt!

“First Elder!”

Suddenly, behind Kleis, two familiar figures flew toward him at top speed.

“Swish swish.”

The two figures came to a stop near Kleis.

“Wizard Tamo? Wizard Gilles? Why are you here? I thought you’ve gone to confront Merlin in the southern Spell Caster world?”

Seeing these two figures appear, a look of suspicion appeared on Kleis’ face.

Wizard Tamo and Wizard Gilles exchanged a look and winced. “First Elder, the reason we rushed here was to tell you a piece of unfortunate news. Out of the five Great Wizards who went to confront Merlin, there’s only the two of us left!”

“Five Great Wizards and only two of you are left? All of you couldn’t kill Merlin?”

There was a hint of veiled anger in Kleis’ voice.

“First Elder, we’ve all been deceived by Merlin or miscalculated his abilities. We thought that he was only able to annihilate our strongholds successively because of the three-headed dragon. However, after this battle with Merlin, we finally know how painfully wrong we were. The three-headed dragon might be strong but it’s not a worthwhile threat to Ozmu. It’s Merlin who’s the real threat to Ozmu!

Wizard Tamo said gloomily. Along the way, this thought had been playing in his head. Initially, he was not entirely sure but upon seeing that even the northern Spell Caster world was unable to resist Kleis, Great Wizard Tamo became more steadfast in his conviction.

The northern Spell Caster world was not the real concern. On the contrary, Merlin was quite possibly Ozmu’s biggest enemy!

“Merlin? Although I’ve predicted that he won’t be easy to handle, I didn’t think that he would grow this much… Anyway, that’s good too. I’ll kill him personally. Right now, however, I have to get rid of the Seven Major Spell Caster organizations!”

Kleis turned his head sharply. His steely gaze stared at the fifteen Great Wizards before him. The invisible space-cutting Spatial Strength immediately whizzed towards the fifteen Great Wizard from all directions.

“Haha, Kleis, even you have a foe you cannot handle?”

Apparently, Wizard Ian overheard the conversation between Kleis and Great Wizard Tamo, and he smirked.

“You’re the Great Wizard of Fog City? Very well, I’ll destroy your Fog City first, and all its Spell Casters. None will be left! Even if Merlin were to create some small problems for me, right now, I’m the most powerful contender in the entire Spell Caster world!”

Kleis cackled into the sky. The space-cutting Spatial Strength landed on the first three Great Wizards in front. True enough, they were completely unable to put up a resistance, and were immediately cut into chunks.

Looking at the almost insane Kleis, Wizard Ian and the others gnashed their teeth but dared not open their mouths. Despite being formidable Great Wizards, they were an easily crushable target in Kleis’ insane eyes.

“Kleis, the most powerful contender, weren’t you also defeated once?”

A calm voice suddenly reverberated in the air.

“Whoosh.”

Kleis’ expression stiffened as he abruptly turned his head to look behind him.
