Chapter 445: The Number One Wizard!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Banmou!”

The contract in Merlin’s hand suddenly flew into the air. Following Merlin’s Mind Power fluctuations, the contract paper also began to emit mysterious waves that spread outwards rapidly.

The power of contracts was a mysterious force that had nothing to do with spells. Even a Great Legendary Wizard would not be able to clearly describe the power of contracts.

“Master, you’re back?”

After a while, Banmou’s excited voice rang through. He had not received any news from Merlin in a long time. Nonetheless, Merlin could hear a different emotion hidden behind his excited voice.

Merlin was exceptionally clear on Banmou’s character. Banmou would love nothing more than for Merlin to never reappear. It was only due to the obligations of the slave contract that he had to obey Merlin’s commands.

“Yes, I’m back! I have a task for you. Bring the entire Wilson family to the Runic Magic Circle at Dark Magic Region. Then, migrate together with Dark Magic Region to Subzero Snowfield.”

Merlin’s main objective was to assign Banmou a mission to bring the Wilson family to Subzero Snowfield together with Dark Magic Region.

After all, there was a personal grudge between Merlin and the people of Ozmu, especially with that indefatigable Kleis. If Kleis decided to release his anger on the Wilson family one day, Merlin would have to live with the regret the rest of his life.

Therefore, Merlin decided to also move the Wilson family along with Dark Magic Region.

“What? Dark Magic Region is also moving? Master, the situation now is indeed chaotic, but the Wilson family has not suffered any attack under my protection. On the contrary, the two Madams gave birth to two of your sons, Master. Congratulations!”

Banmou’s voice stunned Merlin slightly. He recalled immediately that Avril and Charise seemed to be pregnant again just before he left the Wilson family. It had been a long time since then, so they must had delivered the babies long ago.

Thinking about Charise and Avril put a rare smile on Merlin’s face.

“Banmou, get ready quickly. You must bring everyone from the Wilson family here safely, okay?”

“Master, please be rest assured. I will bring everyone in the Wilson family is to meet with you in Dark Magic Region safely.”

Subsequently, Merlin stowed the contract away. Merlin would not worry too much when it came to Banmou. Banmou’s work has always been very meticulous if you did not count the occasional rogue ideas he had.

After keeping the contract, Merlin deliberated carefully. Now that both the matters about Dark Magic Region and the Wilson family had been settled, all he had to do was wait out the ten days until they depart for Subzero Snowfield.

In these ten days, even if something were to happen, it would not be anything serious. After these ten days though, they would have to be extremely cautious throughout their journey to Subzero Snowfield. The duration of the journey would be the most dangerous time of all. If they were to be intercepted, there would be irreconcilable losses even if they eventually made it to Subzero Snowfield.

At present, Merlin was considered to be quite powerful already. His Mind Power had achieved the peak of the Sixth-level, and The Matrix had already derived four new Fifth-level spells. He did not have the time to construct the Spell Models previously because he was rushing back to Dark Magic Region. Now that he had some time on his hands, he could start constructing the Fifth-level Spell Models.

Merlin would not be able to construct many Spell Models in ten days. The most he could do was maybe two Spell Models. Thus, he had to consider which spells would yield the most critical impact on their impending move to Subzero Snowfield in ten days’ time.

“The fourth form of the Darkness Eye is continuously consuming the power of the Thunder Maxim. If I strengthen my Darkness-type spells, then it would slightly reduce the consumption of the Maxim and increase my control of the Darkness Eye.”

Merlin immediately thought of Darkness-type spells. Due to the threat from the Darkness Eye, Merlin could only work harder to construct Spell Models, in order to faster get to constructing a Seventh-level Darkness-type spell. Upon accomplishing that, he would be able to control the fourth form of the Darkness Eye and stop worrying about its backlash.

In the past, Wizard Leo had encountered a flaw in the Darkness Eye from when he first started cultivating it, and even the Tear of God failed to overcome that flaw.

Perhaps it was also because Wizard Leo was not as lucky. If Wizard Leo had found the divinity, perhaps it would be enough to overcome the flaw and give him an opportunity to become a Seventh-level Wizard. If Leo managed to become a Seventh-level Wizard, then he would have been able to completely control the fourth form of the Darkness Eye, and would not have died from its backlash.

Merlin’s Darkness Eye was passed down to him by Wizard Leo, so he did not have to cultivate it from the start. Naturally, he managed to avoid any flaws on his body.

Therefore, as long as Merlin had sufficient Mind Power and new Seventh-level spells, he would be able to become a Seventh-level Spell Caster. He would not be like Wizard Leo, who was trapped at Sixth-level.

After a long deliberation, Merlin finally chose to start constructing Fifth-level Darkness-type spells.

“The Matrix, chose and derive a new Fifth-level Darkness-type spell!”

Merlin activated The Matrix and began to issue instructions. One by one, new Fifth-level Darkness-type spells began to appear before Merlin.

Last time, using the Ice Maxim, Merlin derived a total of four spells, which were Darkness-, Fire-, Earth- and Wind-type spells respectively. These few spells were chosen to be derived first because they contained Fusion Demon Ability.

Now that Merlin decided to construct the Darkness-type spells first, naturally he would choose a spell with a hundred percent compatibility. In particular at Fifth-level, there was a wide gap compared to the previous Darkness-type spells, so it would not be easy to achieve a hundred percent compatibility.

If not for the powerful Matrix that had undergone a transformation after absorbing the power of Maxims, it might have been difficult to derive spells that were a hundred percent compatible.

This time, only three Fifth-level spells had a hundred percent compatibility. After careful nitpicking, Merlin finally selected one of the Darkness-type spells.

Then, it was time to simulate the spell into his Awareness. This process was already familiar to Merlin.

However, following the increases in Merlin’s level, his Spell Models were becoming more complicated. Previously, he only needed a few hours to simulate a spell into the Spell Model into his Awareness, but now, he needed a few days to complete the process.

Therefore, simulating the Spell Model became a time-consuming process. Nevertheless, it was not too risky, as any interruption would only cause the simulation to fail and he could try again.

Merlin took a deep breath and mobilized a huge amount of Mind Power, then began to simulate the Fifth-level Spell Model.

Time trickled by, and after about three or four days, Merlin suddenly opened his eyes. Despite the weary look on his face, his eyes were flashing brilliantly.

“Boom”.

Countless concentrated Darkness Elements began to descend upon Merlin’s side in an instant. Although the Wizard Towers in the Dark Magic Region were decked out in runes, they did not prevent the entry of elements. On the contrary, his tower was faintly attracting the elements.

Therefore, the Darkness Elements that gathered by Merlin’s side were so dauntingly concentrated, that they covered almost half the sky. Several Spell Casters in the Dark Magic Region were staring at the top of Merlin’s tower with their mouths wide opened.

They could sense that hidden within that blanket of Darkness Elements was a formidable power.

“Such a terrifying aura! Who on earth is constructing spells?”

“That’s Wizard Leo’s tower. Ever since Wizard Leo died, Wizard Merlin was the only one who’s living there. Wizard Merlin just returned to the tower a few days ago, do you think he’s the one constructing spells?”

“I think you’re right. There is only a handful of Dark Wizards in Dark Magic Region, and Merlin is one of them. He is also a very powerful Darkness-type Wizard. I’ve also heard that Wizard Leo passed down the Darkness Eye to Merlin.”

“Hehe, Wizard Merlin? All of you are living in ignorance. The current Wizard Merlin is quite a force to be reckoned with, and also a powerful fourth elder in the Dark Magic Region to boost! His status is highly respected, and his ability may be even stronger than Wizard Leo. He truly is the number one prodigy of the Dark Magic Region. A Six-Elemental Spell Caster is completely extraordinary. In just a few years, he had managed to grow so much...”

As the Dark Magic Region began to make preparations for the move, the news of Merlin being appointed as the fourth elder slowly made its rounds. Ordinarily, only Seventh-level Spell Casters and above would be appointed as elders, whereas Merlin became the fourth elder purely based on his abilities.

In fact, back then, Wizard Leo, too, qualified as an elder of the Dark Magic Region. However, Wizard Leo was indifferent about these things, so he never pursued it in earnest.

“Swish”.

In the air, a few stern-looking figures appeared.

“Wizard Seymour, what level is Wizard Merlin at actually? How is it possible that constructing spells can stir up such happenings? Moreover, the terrifying aura does not resemble a Fifth-level spell at all...”

The three figures that appeared in the sky were the three Eight-level Spell Casters including Wizard Seymour. They were also the only three Eighth-level Spell Casters left in Dark Magic Region.

Wizard Seymour took a deep breath and a troubled look appeared on his face, though his eyes sparkled with excitement.

“I’ve heard that in the most glorious era of Spell Casters, some of the talented Spell Casters can derive new spells by themselves from Fourth-level onwards. That kind of Spell Casters went on to become the most formidable existences among all.”

“Wizard Seymour, what you mean is that, Wizard Merlin is currently constructing new self-derived spells?”

Upon listening to Wizard Seymour, the two other Eighth-level Spell Casters beside him sucked in a big gulp of air. As Eighth-level Spell Casters, they naturally knew how difficult it was to derive a new spell.

They had hit a plateau on Sixth-level for hundreds of years, and had to rely on a deep accumulation of experiences in order to derive Seventh-level Spells. The fact that Merlin was already deriving new spells now was completely unimaginable to them.

The different spell levels were extremely distinct from one another and often also reflected the disparity in spell powers of Spell Casters. However, since a new self-derived spell was extremely compatible to the Spell Caster, it could not be measured in terms of levels.

In other words, Merlin had completely departed from the scope of ordinary Spell Casters, and thus, could no longer be measured using the levels of ordinary Spell Casters. Otherwise, how was it possible to explain that Merlin, a Fourth-level Spell Caster, was able to fight against an Eighth-level Spell Caster?

Of course, Merlin had relied upon the Darkness Eye to be able to fight with an Eighth-level Wizard, but it also could not be denied that Merlin’s abilities were powerful enough to contend with a powerful Seventh-level Wizard.

Right now, upon constructing Fifth-level spells, Merlin’s abilities would be further enhanced. At such a critical juncture, this enhancement of abilities would naturally benefit the Dark Magic Region.

“Alright, let’s guard outside the tower to prevent anyone from disrupting Wizard Merlin!”

As they spoke, Wizard Seymour and the two other Eighth-level Wizards flew to Merlin’s tower and positioned themselves in every direction. They floated in the air quietly and casted spells to firmly guard the tower.

Merlin was probably the first person in the history of the Dark Magic Region to be personally guarded by three Eighth-level Spell Casters. This was a testament to how highly Merlin was regarded by Wizard Seymour, because only Wizard Seymour knew how fearsome Merlin could be with the help of the Darkness Eye. In fact, Merlin was the true number one Wizard in the Dark Magic Region!
