A Wizard’s Secret

Chapter 758 - War Begins



Chapter 758: War Begins

“Boom.”

A massive beam shot through the Void Zone. In just the blink of an eye, a stunning flash of light landed before a Spell Caster squad.

No one expected that the Atlans would launch such a sudden attack. Even the three great Arcane Wizards could not react in time. Hence, they could only watch as the light beam slammed violently into one of the Legend Squads.

“Chi.”

There were no lucky survivors. The squad consisted of more than a dozen ordinary Legends in addition to an Honored Legend. All of them tried to consolidate their Maxims.

However, they were completely unable to withstand the impact. Under this light beam, they were immediately turned into vapor. Over a dozen Legends were instantly reduced into ashes.

Silence. The entire battlefield was incomparably silent. Seeing that destructive light beam, those Spell Casters who had already known of the fearsome strength of the Atlan civilization were reminded of the brutal war back in the days.

As for the Spell Casters who had never seen the Atlan civilization, they were completely stunned. Over a dozen Legendary Wizards and an Honored Legend were reduced into ashes in a single blow.

By this time, a simultaneous chill rose in everyone’s hearts. The Atlan civilization was showing that they were just as powerful as before.

“Atlan civilization, die!”

The first to attack was Augustus. He was the number one contender in the Spell Caster civilization. Once enraged, how much more terrifying would he be? The entire Void Zone tremored, and the endless power of the natural order rained down.

However, the two Rock Tribe Progenitors also wielded their skills to resist Augustus. With the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards at the forefront, the war had finally erupted!

“Kill!”

Maxims filled the sky and headed toward the Rock Tribe, Light Believers, and Atlan civilization warships and robots. In an instant, Maxims permeated every direction. The explosion of power from the Spell Caster civilization was just as petrifying.

“Boom boom boom.”

Countless Maxims were wielded consecutively and shredded a large portion of the martial arts robots. However, the Atlan civilization’s warships stood far at the back. Beams of destructive power were attacking the Spell Caster squads incessantly.

The twenty-eight Lords were most courageous, and rushed directly toward the fearsome dimension-level warship. After all, these Lords had experienced the last war, so they knew that these warships were the crux of the Atlan civilization.

Before they became Lords, they were Honored Legends or perhaps ordinary Legends. Thus, a thousand year ago, all of them had experienced the war.

To some extent, the Spell Caster civilization was experienced at battling the Atlan civilization. Nevertheless, now, the experience was irrelevant. The most important point right now was power.

The Spell Caster civilization had Lords but at the same time, the Rock Tribe and Light Believers also had existences comparable to the Lords. Though they were fewer in numbers, they immediately went up to resist the Lords of the Spell Caster civilization.

Merlin’s squad was also on the move. However, Merlin was carefully observing the Atlan civilization’s warships and martial arts robots. He knew very well that it was useless to waste their effort on these robots.

After all, the martial arts robots were produced using precious minerals and energy. With sufficient materials and energy, the production could continue endlessly.

It was the warships that were the crux!

Merlin was very knowledgeable about the city-level warships, empire-level warships, and dimension-level warships. He had obtained a lot of information from his empire-level warship, so it did have some uses.

Therefore, with over a dozen ordinary Legends under his leadership, their conquest proceeded smoothly. Upon encountering the Rock Tribe or Light Believers, even if they were comparable to Honored Legends, the combination of Merlin’s Mind Suppression and the power of a dozen ordinary Legends, their opponents were killed in an instant.

“Swish.”

Finally, Merlin came before an empire-level warship. This was his first time challenging an empire-level warship controlled by the Atlan civilization.

When he saw that the main cannon of the empire-level warship was beginning to glow, Merlin, who was familiar with this type of warships, immediately knew that it would soon open fire.

“Maxim Chains!”

Merlin’s Darkness Maxim immediately transformed into chains. Together with the Maxims of other Legendary Wizards, they tightly restrained the cannon nozzle of this warship.

“Boom.”

Nonetheless, the huge cannon of the warship still exploded and ripped apart Merlin’s Maxim Chains. Fortunately, the empire-level warship was also only about comparable or slightly more powerful than an Honored Legend, but there was not a substantial gap.

Hence, Merlin and a dozen Legendary Wizards were able to overcome this attack with ease.

“Hallucinate!”

Merlin took a deep breath, and wielded his Hallucinating spell. When his Mind Power extended toward the empire-level warship, he could feel an invisible force blocking his Mind Power.

Nevertheless, this protective layer was not very strong. With Merlin’s additional push of Mind Power, he was immediately able to break through this protective layer and entered the warship brazenly.

In the warship, Merlin’s Mind Power could see numerous Atlans. Physically, the Atlans were not much different compared to the Spell Casters. They were weaker and did not have any trace of elemental fluctuations on their bodies.

However, each of them had a role to play. Each being operated a section of the empire-level warship, allowing it to possess powers that could vanquish an Honored Legend.

“Hum.”

Once Merlin’s Mind Power had enveloped the entire place, these Atlans seemed to be unable to put up an ounce of resistance and were entrapped by the illusion.

“Boom.”

Since the warship was no longer controlled by anyone, Merlin took this opportunity to wield his Maxim Chains once again. The Maxim Chains slammed heavily onto the empire-level warship and a spine-tingling power was released. However, due to some automatic defensive abilities on the warship, he was only able to strip past the first layer of defense.

Seemingly noticing the distress of this warship, another warship aimed directly at Merlin.

As the other warship was not too far away, Merlin could only retreat temporarily.

“Swish.”

Merlin led his men to retreat a distance away. Although they did not manage to destroy a warship, Merlin was still overjoyed because he discovered that his Mind Power could be used against the Atlan civilization’s warships.

“Only that defensive layer. Most probably, it can also resist Mind Power.”

Merlin did not know whether the Atlans were able to research a method to resist Mind Power attacks, but for now, at least these empire-level warships were unable to resist Merlin’s Mind Power attack.

While Merlin was exploring the use of Mind Power, the situation was turning less favorable within the Spell Caster civilization. Another Legend Squad was killed.

On the other hand, the Atlan civilization had not lost a single empire-level warship. They only lost a few city-level warships. Hence, it was not a significant loss for the Atlan civilization.

Fortunately, the Lords of the Spell Caster civilization kept the Atlan civilization’s dimension-level warship occupied. Otherwise, these warships could kill an entire Spell Caster squad with a single cannon blast. They were the true Armageddon of the Spell Caster civilization.

Regardless, the Spell Caster civilization was still caught in a bad situation. Under the cover of the martial arts robots from the Atlan civilization, the Rock Tribe and Light Believers were pushing forward bit by bit, and gained the upper hand.

“Whoosh.”

At this moment, an empire-level warship glowed brightly again. Merlin looked toward the direction that it was aimed. Sure enough, it was another ordinary Legend Squad.

Merlin was highly familiar with the empire-level warships. Once it began to charge, it must have a target locked down. If it was any other Legend Squad, Merlin would simply give them a forewarning and move on.

However, he saw a familiar silhouette in this Legend Squad that caused his heart to skip a beat.

“Teacher Zado!”

Among this squad was Legend Zado. At the moment, Legend Zado was completely unaware. His squad was battling against two Rock Creatures who were comparable to Honored Legends.

“No…”

Merlin and his squad immediately rushed forward. Still, the charging period of the empire-level warship was over. Any target that was locked down by the giant cannons would not be missed.

At this point, Merlin had no other ideas except using the Hallucinating spell.

“Hallucinate!”

An enormous Mind Power enveloped the empire-level warship, and the Atlans inside were swiftly entrapped in an illusion.

“Phew.”

Merlin finally heaved a breath of relief. It was only at this moment that Legend Zado prickled up. His squad seemed to realize that they had been targeted by the warship. One after another, fearful expressions appeared on their faces.

However, they did not understand why the warship did not open fire.

“Merlin, you’re here too?”

Instead, Legend Zado greeted Merlin.

Merlin smiled bitterly. He was just about to get rid of this empire-level warship when an intense surge of danger flared up in his senses.

“I’ve been locked down as a target?”

Merlin immediately noticed that two empire-level warships had locked him down. Moreover, they were situated even further away.

Merlin was already consuming his full energy to envelop this warship in an illusion. If he were to split his Mind Power, coupled with the distance, the burden on his Mind Power might probably exceed his abilities.

However, he had no other choice. He could only clench his teeth, and mobilized his Hallucinating spell. Otherwise, he would not be able to escape the attacks of the empire-level warships.

This was because the attack of one empire-level warship was already comparable to an Honored Legend. Hence, Merlin did not have the confidence that he could withstand the attacks of two warships at once. It would not be wise to face it head-on.

“Hallucinate!”

Merlin stretched out his Mind Power and swiftly entrapped all three warships in the illusion. However, this was the maximum limit of his abilities. Even his face was distorted in pain.

“I must escape quickly!”

Merlin knew that he could not hold on any longer. His Mind Power could neither withstand such a far distance nor sustain an illusion for three empire-level warships.

“Boom.”

No one noticed that a huge beam had traveled from the depths of the Void Zone. It shot right across the Void Zone and headed toward Merlin’s direction.

“Dimension-level warship…”

Merlin paled. Such a huge light beam and such a terrifying power, it could only be volleyed by the most sophisticated dimension-level warship of the Atlan civilization.

Due to its incredible speed, by the time Merlin’s heart issued a warning, the light beam had already blasted out. The attack was simply aimed at a random area whereas Merlin and Zado’s Legend Squads just happened to be in the vicinity.

“This is it…”

Merlin could sense the terrifying force contained in this light beam. He knew that even if he were a few folds more powerful, he would not be able to withstand this attack.

This was an attack that could not be withstood even by the Lords. It was the most terrifying warship hidden by the Atlan civilization, which could potentially tilt the balance of the war!
