Chapter 379: Summit 4

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It’s Abyss Fort.”

A flicker of concern flashed through Wizard Envia’s eyes. In the first round, everyone except him had been eliminated. Small-sized spell casters’ organizations were always at the bottom in the summit. Occasionally, there would be one or two slightly brilliant ones but they would never make it past the third round.

However, Wizard Envia had faith in Merlin. Merlin would definitely be able to make it past the third round because back then, Kleis also managed to reach the third round.

However, there were some conflicts between Abyss Fort and Merlin. Although Wizard Envia did not know what happened, he vaguely understood that once the Wizards from Abyss Fort meet Merlin, they would definitely go against him no matter what.

Thus, although it was just the first round, Merlin had to be careful.

“Wizard Merlin, be careful. Don’t let your guard down!”

Envia called out in concern.

Merlin nodded and went directly into the arena. Lania was already standing in the arena.

“Darkness Vortex!”

Wizard Lania immediately released his strongest spell. Instantly, a vortex appeared before Merlin. Some Spell Casters nearby seemed to feel their Mind Power being sucked into the vortex.

Darkness Vortex was an extremely complicated and powerful Third-level spell. Merlin had also constructed Darkness Vortex and clearly knew its strength.

However, Merlin had Darkness Heart and had a very strong resistance toward Darkness-type spells. Thus, even when Darkness Vortex enveloped Merlin, he did not move at all. Although Darkness Vortex continued to expand and grow, it did not pose any threat toward Merlin.

Lania’s face sank before showing a somewhat helpless face, and said lowly, “Darkness Heart. As expected, after cultivating Darkness Heart, you’ve gained a strong resistance against Darkness-type spells. I surrender!”

Lania immediately admitted defeat. It was the first time since the summit started that a Wizard had willingly admitted defeat without much effort.

“He surrendered?”

“Darkness-type spell from Abyss Fort are useless against Merlin. So that’s the Six-Elemental Spell Caster from the Dark Magic Region?”

“I thought that a small spell casters’ organization like the Dark Magic Region wouldn’t be able to produce any prodigy. Who knew that a few prodigies like Kleis and Merlin would appear consecutively? It’s a shame that Kleis had turned to Ozmu. Otherwise, the Dark Magic Region might really have had a hope of becoming a medium-sized spell casters’ organization in the next decade!”

A few Wizards had already found out Merlin’s identity. The Dark Magic Region was just a small spell casters’ organization and not many Spell Casters knew about them. However, because of Kleis, many Spell Casters somewhat came to know about the Dark Magic Region.

Naturally, those Spell Casters would draw comparisons between Merlin and Kleis. Merlin had become used to this. He was now deeply branded with the Dark Magic Region, so no matter what he did, it would involve the Dark Magic Region as well. As for Kleis, he was once the most gifted Spell Caster in the Dark Magic Region but he betrayed them and turned to Ozmu.

Thus, comparing Merlin and Kleis was also an interesting topic.

Lania surrendered, which caused many Spell Casters to notice Merlin. Even Envia felt incredibly helpless.

His strength was not bad at all and had a chance to enter the second round. After all, Darkness Vortex was a Third-level spell. For Lania to be able to successfully construct it, he had proved his excellence.

However, Lania encountered Merlin in the first round. To a Spell Caster from Abyss Fort, Merlin, who possessed Darkness Heart, had an overwhelming advantage.

When Merlin returned to the Dark Magic Region area, Wizard Envia and the others were overjoyed. After all, Merlin had represented the Dark Magic Region. The more outstanding Merlin’s performance, the prouder the Spell Casters from the Dark Magic felt.

The first round of screening continued. Merlin had been slightly interested in the beginning, but his interest gradually dwindled. Almost all the Spell Casters eliminated in the first round did not have any Pandora Demon Ability. Even their spell construction was very crude. Spell Casters who could construct extremely complicated spells like Lania were incredibly rare and could be said to be extremely powerful.

Moreover, there was a great difference between spell casters’ organizations and Spell Caster clans. Spell Caster clans that could send out prodigies were really very rare. In the first round, the Spell Caster clans were basically wiped out. No Wizards from any Spell Caster clan managed to pass the first round.

Furthermore, the spell casters’ organizations that passed the first round were mostly medium-sized and above. There were very few small spell casters’ organizations that had passed.

Since the first-round screening would take some time, Merlin shut his eyes and attentively felt the changes in his body. These changes were something that Merlin only discovered recently and accidentally.

Most likely, Merlin gradually obtained this ability after practicing the posture of the golden relief sculpture. Merlin could clearly feel every change in his body. Cultivating the posture of the golden relief sculpture gave Merlin unimaginable benefits.

The largest benefit was, of course, regenerative strength – extremely terrifying regenerative strength! Besides that, Merlin could also clearly see every single change in his body. He could even control his chi and blood flow, muscles, and bones.

For example, Merlin could control the speed of blood flow in his blood vessels, and even temporarily stop blood flow altogether and shift his bones. All these changes were brought by the magical posture of the golden relief sculpture.

Currently, Merlin quietly felt the changes in his body.

Time passed slowly, and the first-round screening finally finished! In the summit, the first-round screening always took up the most time. After all, there were too many factions participating in the summit.

However, after the first round, the number of Spell Casters had decreased significantly. Furthermore, the strength of the Spell Casters in the second round was much stronger compared to those in the first round.

However, the prodigies of the three large spell casters’ organizations did not participate. As Spell Casters from a large-sized spell casters’ organization, they naturally had priority and could directly enter the third round. Thus, in the first and second rounds, Bellach, Bratu, and the Miracle Child did not act.

Many Spell Casters were curious about those three Wizards as well as expected the most from them. Merlin was no exception. The one he wanted to understand the most was the Miracle Child.

“Second round, Wizard Envia from the Dark Magic Region and Wizard Hayden from Neptune Academy!”

When the Host Wizard finished speaking, Wizard Envia immediately walked into the arena. After a moment, Wizard Hayden from Neptune Academy also arrived at the arena.

Neptune Academy was an extremely powerful medium-sized spell casters’ organization located in the mysterious sea. They had basically no communication with the Dark Magic Region.

However, as a medium-sized spell casters’ organization, the strength of Neptune Academy was extremely powerful. Although they did not have a Great Wizard overseeing them, they had quite a few Ninth-level Spell Casters.

There were also many gifted Spell Casters in Neptune Academy. Neptune Academy had three Spell Casters who entered the second round, which was enough to showcase their strength.

Unfortunately for Wizard Envia, his opponent, Wizard Hayden was the most gifted Spell Caster from Neptune Academy, whose goal was to rush to the third round!

Therefore, Wizard Envia’s expression was also very solemn. In the second round, he did not dare to have any contempt.

Wizard Envia made the first move again, but this time, he pulled out a Runic Magic Disc. Of course, this was not the Kleinman Runic Magic Disc from when he attempted the Runic Tower along with Wizards Sarah and Ilman.

After all, although the power of the Kleinman Runic Magic Disc was strong, it could not be put to good use by just Wizard Envia. Therefore, the Magic Disc that Wizard Envia used now was just a relatively common Magic Disc that could be completely activated by Wizard Envia alone.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with mysterious runes flickering a faint white light. Then, it turned into a huge net and imprisoned Wizard Hayden within.

The function of this Runic Magic Circle was binding!

Wizard Hayden revealed a faint disdainful smile and raised his arm. His originally white arm rapidly turned light blue, just like the color of the sea.

“Neptune Tide!”

As Wizard Hayden’s voice dropped, the faint sounds of waves seemed to fill the entire arena as if endless waves were roaring in.

In addition, traces of water vapor quickly condensed and set off bursts of waves with great momentum. This was obviously an extremely powerful type of Pandora Demon Ability from Neptune Academy.

“Boom!”

The waves pounded madly at the surrounding runes and Wizard Envia’s face paled. The moment Wizard Hayden released the Pandora Demon Ability, he could feel a formidable pressure.

Now, Wizard Envia could no longer resist it. He used the Runic Magic Disc and arranged a Runic Magic Circle, but still could not hold back his opponent’s attack. There was no way to continue the competition anymore.

Thus, Wizard Envia took the initiative to tell the Host Wizard, “I surrender!”

The Host Wizard nodded lightly. Wizard Envia jumped down the arena with a solemn look. He had failed to pass the second round.

When Wizard Envia returned to the Dark Magic Region area, he saw Merlin and lowered his head and said, “Wizard Merlin, I’m sorry. I’m really useless. I’ve humiliated the Dark Magic Region!”

Merlin shook his head and said, “Your opponent had a Pandora Demon Ability which could be fused into spells, and was extremely powerful. If you could activate the Kleinman Runic Magic Disc alone, then you would be able to suppress him. However, your current research on runes is far from reaching the level of being able to activate the Kleinman Runic Magic Disc alone. The Dark Magic Region is an expert in runology. If you can truly study runology to a profound level, you definitely won’t be inferior to Wizards who have cultivated Pandora Demon Abilities!”

Although Merlin did not understand runology, he could tell that it was not that runology was not strong, but that Wizard Envia’s study of runes was still inadequate. Thus, he could not activate the Kleinman Runic Magic Disc alone and had lost to Wizard Hayden. This was within his expectations.

Following that, the second-round screenings were much crueler. Merlin was the last group to enter the arena in the second round. However, before that, almost no one from small spell casters’ organizations had managed to pass the second round.

“Second round, Wizard Merlin from the Dark Magic Region and Wizard Bergs from Terra Fort!”

It was finally Merlin’s turn. His opponent was a Spell Caster from Terra Fort, which was troublesome due to the fact they excelled in Defense.

“Wizard Merlin, you have to win the second round!”

Wizard Envia looked at Merlin with hopeful eyes. Not only Wizard Envia and the Spell Casters of Dark Magic Region, but almost all small spell casters’ organizations had their gaze focused on Merlin.

After all, in the second round of the summit, the Wizards from smaller spell casters’ organizations had been wiped out. Only Merlin was left.

If even Merlin failed to pass this second round, then there really would be no more representative from small spell casters’ organizations in the summit anymore. They would be completely reduced to bystanders.

Thus, in the current situation, Merlin truly had all eyes on him!
