A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 450: A New Dimension II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“A dimension, it’s a completely new dimension!”

Just as he set foot into this new dimension from the Void Zone, Merlin felt a massive force of attraction, causing him to drop down in a straight line with no resistance. The friction of his falling speed against the air even ignited flames.

Luckily, Merlin had constructed the Fifth-level spell Enervating Halo. In the instant he entered the dimension, he had cast Enervating Halo. Thus, he was able to survive the effects of such a tremendous force of attraction.

However, he had no way of controlling his speed and could only helplessly watch the ground coming closer. At this point, he could only place his hopes in Enervating Halo and his durable body. This was equivalent to how a meteor in his past life would crash to the ground, containing terrifying force.

“Crash!”

Merlin finally crashed heavily into the ground, causing the entire surface to quake. The flames even ignited a few dried leaves on the ground. It was a good thing that the fire was not huge and gradually died out.

A deep, wide pit had appeared in the ground, surrounded by a ring of scorched earth.

...

Lady Phillie stared dazedly at the pit in the ground. She, along with the other four black-robed Spell Casters, had just personally witnessed a fireball descending from the sky and smashing heavily into the ground.

Moreover, the place where the fireball had landed was not far from them. It was a breathtaking sight which not many people had seen in their lifetime. Therefore, they did not recover from their stunned senses for a long time.

“Go and see what it is.”

The black-robed Wizard at the front gave the order to another Spell Caster. That Spell Caster was somewhat hesitant but did not seem to dare disobey the black-robed Wizard’s command. Hence, he could only cautiously inch toward the deep pit with clenched teeth.

The mysterious fireball falling from the sky, and the mysterious deep pit made these black-robed Wizards careful and solemn. As the black-robed Wizard neared the pit, something unexpected happened.

“Swish.”

A black shadow popped out of the deep pit, hovering in the air. It gradually condensed and took shape – it was a cat which was pitch-black all over.

The black cat swung his tail gently, his lush green eyes fixed upon everyone present, rousing a shuddering sensation in them. Following that, the black cat said in human language, “Alright, Merlin. Come on out. Our luck wasn’t too bad for there are Spell Casters here!”

The black cat’s human speech had astounded these black-robed Spell Casters. The Spell Caster who had wanted to go near was frightened to the point of quick retreat.

As soon as the black cat spoke, a fair hand slowly extended from within the pit. Following that, a young Wizard with handsome features, wearing a long black Wizard robe, flew out from the deep pit.

“Hmm? There are Spell Casters here, and also fluctuations of Elements!”

The young Spell Caster floating in mid-air was Merlin. He and the black cat Didimoss had entered this new dimension from the Void Zone. Under the effects of the powerful gravity in the dimension, they could not stop themselves from crashing down.

Fortunately, Merlin was not an average Spell Caster. Even a Seventh-level Wizard would find it hard to survive the force of such powerful gravity and impact.

However, Merlin’s Enervating Halo, in addition to Pandora Demon Ability Fuse Earth, had raised his defensive capability immensely. Most Seventh-level Spell Casters could not compare to him by far. Adding this to his durable body, he was able to endure such a colossal impact.

Still, Merlin would think twice before entering a new dimension so rashly the next time as it had been far too dangerous. It was not surprising that only Great Wizards were able to leave the Glorious Land and enter the Void Zone in general. In truth, it was because solely entering a new dimension was a huge challenge for Spell Casters.

Luckily, he had finally entered a new dimension successfully. Moreover, upon entering the dimension, Merlin had noticed that there were few black-robed Spell Casters surrounding him as well as the remaining traces of Elemental fluctuations in the air.

This indicated that there were Spell Casters here. A place with Spell Casters would not have gods. Perhaps this dimension was already occupied by some Great Legendary Wizard.

This was good news to Merlin. At least he would not have to worry about being discovered by a god in this dimension and thus caught in a risky situation.

“Who are you really?”

Just as Merlin was slowly finding his bearings, the black-robed Spell Caster who was heading the group asked in an icy voice. The black-robed Wizard was rather apprehensive toward this strange man who had just appeared with a black cat that spoke the human language on his shoulder.

Looking at the gigantic, deep pit, one could surmise that this mysterious young man was not that simple.

“Fourth-level Spell Caster? Looks like you should be able to understand many things...”

Merlin mumbled to himself in a low voice. He had arrived in a new dimension, and his most urgent need was to understand the facts of this dimension. Only after learning about this new dimension could he decide what his next step would be.

As he thought of this, Merlin did not even look at the other Spell Casters and raised a hand to point at the few black-robed Wizards before him.

“Hoo...”

The sky seemed to darken all at once. Merlin did not yield the Fifth-level Darkness spell he had newly constructed but only his Fourth-level spell. Even if it was Merlin’s Fourth-level Darkness spell, it was formidable to these mere Third and Fourth-level Spell Casters.

“Rip.”

Fatal dangers lay hidden in the darkness. The other three black-robed Spell Casters, after descending into an illusion, were killed by the forces contained in the darkness. The powers of Darkness Illusory Death were something Third-level Spell Casters could not defend against by far.

Even the Fourth-level Spell Caster at the front was caught in the illusion. Luckily, Merlin did not plan on killing him, so he was not injured.

“Swoosh.”

Merlin dispelled the darkness. The Runic Heartprint between his brows flickered unsteadily, after which mysterious runes quickly flew one by one toward that Fourth-level Wizard who was the leader.

This was a Binding Runic Magic Circle, which easily bound this Fourth-level Wizard.

“I’ll give you two options – sign a slave contract or die!”

Merlin retrieved a sheet of contract paper from his ring. It twinkled with a faint light as it floated silently in the air.

If Merlin did not have the urgent need to learn the facts of this new dimension, he would not have wasted a sheet of contract paper on a Fourth-level Spell Caster.

Nevertheless, the Fourth-level Spell Caster’s expression was shifting uncertainly. A slave contract... This Wizard wanted him to sign a slave contract. This was the harshest, most one-sided contract.

Once he had signed, his life was completely in the hands of someone else, and he would never have the chance to break away from the restrictions of the contract. However, if he did not sign... He had just seen Merlin immediately make his kill, wiping out his three subordinates without even asking anything. He knew that his opponent was vicious and merciless, a Spell Caster who treated everything with contempt.

In the fact of such a fearsome Spell Caster, he was merely a Fourth-level Wizard who had no choice at all.

“I’m willing to sign a slave contract!”

A smile tugged at the corner of Merlin’s mouth as he nodded gently. “Very well. Begin your signing then.”

The signing of the slave contract went smoothly. The Fourth-level Spell Caster who was the leader declared his name and engraved his Mind Power into the slave contract, completing the signing.

“Very well. You’re called Darknight?”

“Honorable Master, I’m Wizard Darknight of Eternal Night Mountain. This time, I received an invitation from Weston of Tagan City to descend from the mountain to kill Lady Phillie of Boulder City.”

Wizard Darknight quickly got used to his new identity, and his tone appeared very respectful. He knew that since he had signed a slave contract, his life was in the hands of the young Spell Caster before him. He must never ever provoke this man.

“You’re Wizard Darknight?”

Suddenly, a surprised cry came from the horse carriage in front. Merlin followed the sound and saw a noble lady with dignified airs as well as a young girl, clutched in the firm embrace of the noble lady.

“Master, she’s the president of trade alliance in Boulder City, Lady Phillie!”

As if he sensed Merlin’s puzzlement, Wizard Darknight cautiously introduced her.

Merlin nodded, following which he walked toward Lady Phillie, saying in a calm manner, “Lady Phillie, it seems like you’re very well acquainted with my slave?”

Lady Phillie still looked at Merlin with guarded eyes. Even though it was Merlin’s appearance that had saved her, after witnessing all that Merlin had done – how he easily killed three Spell Casters, and forced Wizard Darknight to sign a slave contract – Lady Phillie was even more terrified.

“Honorable Sir Wizard, Wizard Darknight has a grand reputation. How would I possibly not know of him? Wizard Darknight occupies Eternal Night Mountain. Under his command are two Fourth-level Spell Casters and over ten Third-level Spell Casters. They are much stronger than the forces of our Boulder City. I really can’t figure out – what did Weston do to persuade Wizard Darknight?”

Lady Phillie thought for a moment before she gradually spoke.

Upon hearing about Darknight’s forces, Merlin was rather taken aback. He did not expect this unexceptional Fourth-level Wizard to have such tremendous forces.

In Merlin’s eyes, Darknight was naturally nothing much but to other Spell Casters, Wizard Darknight was extremely frightening. This was because Wizard Darknight possessed Fusion Pandora Demon Ability, and not just one, which could be thoroughly combined with spells. Therefore, he was able to control the two other Fourth-level Spell Casters in Eternal Night Mountain.

Darknight would have never expected that coming down from the mountain to dispatch one small Lady Phillie, he would suddenly encounter an unexpected calamity. He had bumped into a powerful Wizard of unknown origin which was Merlin and did not even have the chance to cast his spells.

Still, Darknight knew clearly that even if he cast his spells, he was still far from being Merlin’s match. Darknight was able to sense an intense force of danger from Merlin, which was not inferior to the Seventh-level Wizards he had met before. It might even more intense than them.

Therefore, Darknight was able to decide so quickly and signed a slave contract with Merlin because he had no hope of escape at all. Signing the contract was his only way out.

Lady Phillie tightly clutched the little girl in her arms, warily looking at Merlin and Wizard Darknight. Countless thoughts spun in her heart, yet she did not know, how would Merlin deal with them?

“Master, someone’s coming. It must be Spell Casters of Boulder City!”

Suddenly, Darknight looked behind Merlin, keenly perceiving that a large number of Spell Casters were hurrying over from the distance. They must be Wizards of Boulder City who had sensed the vigorous Elemental fluctuations here so they had sent Spell Casters to hasten their way to examine the situation.

Merlin did not change his expression and simply looked at Lady Phillie with serene eyes. “I believe that Lady Phillie will explain everything clearly!”

Although Merlin’s gaze did not carry any hint of menace, appearing calm and unperturbed, Lady Phillie, upon catching his eye, felt a slight tremble, a trace of palpitation, within her heart.
