A Wizard's Secret

Merlin pushed with both hands. The wind howled, and anyone could clearly see that the flames and thunder were in the storm, gradually fusing together.

The three types of spells were finally fused into one!

“Boom!”

The colossal shockwaves immediately sent the Greater Demon flying but this time, he had no way of standing up again. His entire body was fragmented in the blast, and torrents of blood flowed out, and the soil on the ground was stained a deep red.

Merlin appeared abnormally calm. He shut his eyes lightly, still carefully recollecting how it had felt when he had fused three spells earlier. He wanted to hold on to this feeling. It was key to fusing three types of spells.

The fusion of three spells instantly boosted the might of spell fusion. Initially, spell fusion could only handle an average Ninth-level Spell Caster who was slightly stronger. However, with three spells, it was directly able to threaten those Spell Casters who had fused two Spell Models.

Merlin’s palm absorbed a cold force once again. He opened his eyes, and discovered that the Greater Demon on the ground no longer had a life force. It was merely one blow from the fusion of three spells, yet it was already able to kill this powerful Greater Demon.

The current Merlin, without having to utilize the God-Binding Disc, was completely on par with those Ninth-level Spell Casters at their peak who had fused two Spell Models.

“Bang.”

Just then, a resounding thud sounded. At the same time, a figure crashed into the ground in a straight trajectory, not far from Merlin. It was Wizard Midnight.

Wizard Midnight presently appeared to be in a mess. The robe he was wearing had been torn to tatters. He had just been knocked to the ground by a blow from the Grand Demon but based on his appearance, it was just a physical impact. The spell surrounding his body still had not vanished, meaning that he was not injured.

“Wizard Midnight, how are you doing?”

Merlin asked hurriedly. After all, the disparity between Wizard Midnight and that Grand Demon was too vast. Wizard Midnight might not be afraid of most Great Wizards, for he was a genius of Arcane City, and fighting above his level was something he was used to.

However, the Grand Demon before them was not an average Grand Demon, but one bolstered by Royal Demon blood, whose power could be compared to those Spell Casters at the peak of Great Wizard. The fact that Wizard Midnight was able to hold on until now without being critically injured was already rather impressive.

Still, if he went on like this, Wizard Midnight would no longer be so fortunate.

“Haha, good strike, good strike!”

Wizard Midnight leaped up. If Merlin had not perceived that Wizard Midnight’s current Mind Power was extremely lively, meaning that he was not hurt at all, Merlin might have thought that something had gone wrong with Wizard Midnight.

“Whoosh.”

Wizard Midnight rushed toward the Grand Demon once more, and the Darkness Element of his body became increasingly intense, seeming to contain faint traces of other spell fusions.

“Could Wizard Midnight be preparing to exploit the enormous pressure exerted by the Grand Demon in battle to forcibly fuse the Spell Models?”

This thought occurred to Merlin. This was a very risky method. Once there was any slight loss of control, the Spell Model would collapse, bringing down the other Spell Models as well. If that happened, the Grand Demon would not even need to attack for Wizard Midnight to instantly die from the backlash of the spells.

“What insanity...”

It was the first time Merlin witnessed Wizard Midnight’s insanity. A prodigious Wizard like Wizard Midnight could have peacefully and steadily stayed on in Arcane City for more than a hundred years. By then, no matter how difficult it was to fuse the spells, with Wizard Midnight’s talents, he would be able to slowly achieve this over a long period.

He did not have to take such risks to forcibly fuse the spells as he was doing now. Nonetheless, this was Wizard Midnight – as long as there was a sliver of hope, he would advance boldly, no matter how dangerous it was.

Perhaps this was the reason why Wizard Midnight was able to come from a tiny kingdom and advance as the foremost genius of the kingdom, then the continent, then the dimension, finally arriving at Arcane City.

With capabilities like Wizard Midnight’s, there would be a place for him even in Arcane City.

Merlin witnessed a dedication that was hard to put into words!

“Bang!”

In the end, when Wizard Midnight had been battered to the ground by the Grand Demon many times over. Merlin could feel that Wizard Midnight’s force was slightly weaker. The Grand Demon’s immense strength was not something he could withstand.

If this went on, Wizard Midnight would really die!

“Despicable Spell Caster, it looks like you’re quite stubborn. However, no matter how stubborn you are, it’s useless. This is your final chance!”

The Grand Demon appeared to be rather enraged. The numerous reckless attacks from Wizard Midnight did not cause the Grand Demon any injury but they still caused a certain amount of trouble for him.

Therefore, the Grand Demon had lost his patience, and a trace of the Berserk force began to emerge around him.

“Hum hum hum.”

When a Grand Demon with Royal Demon blood became Berserk, his force would be augmented to a terrifying extreme. The air itself was suppressed, and even Merlin could not help but take a few steps back.

The force itself was already so fearsome. Wizard Midnight would surely be unable to withstand it this time!

“Wizard Midnight, hurry back to Arcane City. I have a way of dealing with this Grand Demon!”

Merlin’s entire body was silently on guard. The Berserk force of the Grand Demon before him had caused Merlin to lose faith in the God-Binding Disc. He was ready at any moment to awaken the black cat Didimoss.

Wizard Midnight slowly stood up. At this moment, his face was unusually cold and detached. Wisps of Darkness Element surrounded his body, blanketing his entire person.

“The final step is finally completed!”

Wizard Midnight’s voice sounded very calm but the words were like a clap of thunder in Merlin’s ears, causing him endless astonishment.

“Completed? All the Spell Models have been fused into one?”

Merlin was somewhat incredulous. Even though he admired Wizard Midnight’s dedication, having dedication was one thing. Whether one would accomplish one’s goal due to that dedication was another thing.

He found it hard to believe that Wizard Midnight was able to fuse all his Spell Models into one under such challenging circumstances.

“Fuse!”

After Wizard Midnight gave a low cry, the dense apparitions of Spell Models appeared over his head. As a Five-Elemental Spell Caster, Wizard Midnight possessed up to fifty spells from Zero-level spells to Ninth-level spells. Anyone could see how difficult it was to fuse such a great number of Spell Models.

The more Spell Models there were, the harder it was to fuse everything thoroughly. If Merlin was to fuse Spell Models in the future, he would have sixty Spell Models in total. That could be said to be even more frightening, and the degree of difficulty in becoming a Great Wizard was difficult to imagine.

Although one could see that the densely packed Spell Models above Wizard Midnight’s head consisted of fifty Spell Model apparitions, in fact, Wizard Midnight was only left with the ten Spell Models of Darkness-type spells. The other types of Spell Models had been fused together long ago, and now transformed into a white ball of light.

“Boom!”

As soon as Wizard Midnight spoke, the ten Darkness-type Spell Models were inserted into the white ball of light. These final ten Spell Models were fused into the rest, and the white light shone with blinding rays.

At the same time, Wizard Midnight’s force expanded more and more, rising constantly until it broke through a bottleneck. As a Five-Elemental Spell Caster, Wizard Midnight would certainly rise among the preeminent Great Wizards in one move as soon as he became a Great Wizard.

Now, his force kept growing incessantly, rapidly reaching a point that Merlin had never seen before.

“He has really succeeded!”

Merlin’s gaze trembled. The force on Wizard Midnight’s body had finally stopped growing but Merlin was able to feel a force from Wizard Midnight that was different from any other Great Wizards.

To be accurate, Merlin had never felt such a powerful force from a Great Wizard. In the past, Merlin had met many Great Wizards before but none who was as fearsome as the force coming from Wizard Midnight.

It was rather rare for a Five-Elemental Spell Caster to become a Great Wizard. Most dimensions would seldom witness such a Spell Caster. Only Arcane City would see this happening but it was still very rare.

Merlin was able to personally witness a Five-Elemental Spell Caster fusing all his Spell Models to become a Great Wizard. This was of great benefit to him. At the very least, when he fused spells in the future, he would have a point of reference.

“Great Wizard?”

The Grand Demon, who had always been calm, was now undergoing a change in his manner. He even awakened from his Berserk state for he knew very well how powerful a Great Wizard was.

“That’s right. Now that I’ve become a Great Wizard, you shall be my first blood sacrifice!”

Wizard Midnight’s tone was icy, revealing a limitless murderous intent as if he was filled with detest toward foreign tribes.

“Buzz.”

A ball of light gradually formed in Wizard Midnight’s hand. This light emitted brilliant rays, and one could faintly sense the Wind Element, Fire Element, Ice Element, Earth Element, and Darkness Element within. This was five spells fused into one, a spell unique to Great Wizards, and it appeared strangely beautiful.

However, the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it was.

After Wizard Midnight pointed with a finger, the ball of light promptly sped toward the Grand Demon. Throughout its flight, the light swelled and expanded rapidly, becoming incomparably gigantic in a flash. Everything within the range of a few hundred meters was engulfed, including the Grand Demon who became Berserk once more.

“Hiss hiss hiss.”

With the light swallowing everything, there was no earth-shattering explosion, only bursts of soft hissing noise. Nonetheless, the Grand Demon who was trapped in the light seemed to be experiencing a tremendous amount of pain, and started to howl wildly.

When the Grand Demon was Berserk, his body grew incomparably hard all over, with astounding defensive capabilities. It was on par with Great Wizards at their peak. However, faced with Wizard Midnight who had just become a Great Wizard, there was nothing those defensive capabilities could do.

The Grand Demon’s hands were covered in flames, his legs covered and bound by heavy black earth. Moreover, his body was thoroughly frozen...

A Great Wizard’s spell comprised all the spells fused together. The might which was displayed was difficult to imagine. Wizard Midnight, who had reached the level of a Great Wizard with Five-Elemental spells, instantly became one of the most formidable Great Wizards. Even the Grand Demon who possessed Royal Demon blood was slowly reduced to ashes in the midst of pitiful wails.

“He’s dead?”

Merlin’s heart leaped. In his palm, Darkness Eye was so excited that it seemed about to break free from his palm. A colossal gush of cold force surged frantically into Darkness Eye.

Merlin instantly understood that this was the endless negative energy left behind after the Grand Demon died. It was all absorbed by Darkness Eye. Upon taking in such a large amount of negative energy all at once, Darkness Eye, which had been on the brink of evolving long ago, finally began to evolve.
