Chapter 471: Wicked God’s Believers I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“A Mind Heart, and an extremely strong Special Mind Heart at that!”

Merlin was very excited. He finally let the Mind Power morph and condense into a Mind Heart. After condensing the Mind Heart, his Mind Power could be substantially accumulated, not like before when he was unable to store any even after increasing it. Now, he could constantly increase his Mind Power level.

In general, Mind Power below the Seventh-level was all similar to each other. As a Six-Elemental Spell Caster, the Mind Power Merlin required far surpassed an ordinary Wizard’s. Thus, even if he had peak Sixth-level Mind Power, it was impossible for him to construct all Fifth-level spells. He needed to transform his Mind Power to the Seventh-level.

Once reaching the Seventh-level and gaining the Mind Heart, this problem would be solved. His current Mind Heart was a Special Mind Heart which could store Mind Power far more than an ordinary Spell Caster could. At that time, his Mind Heart would be able to continuously accumulate Mind Power. According to Merlin’s calculations, with the accumulation of a Seventh-level Mind Heart, his Mind Power would be able to fully support Merlin in constructing all Sixth-level spells. It might even be able to construct Seventh-level spells as well.

Of course, that still depended on how strongly Merlin could continuously compress his Mind Heart in the future.

Rumor had it that Spell Casters with extremely powerful Mind Hearts did not even need to fully use spells. With just a thought in the void, they could purely rely on the ability of their Mind Power to interfere with matter to set off terrible storms.

Of course, those were also rumors. Even in the Spell Casters’ most glorious era, there were less than a handful of those such Spell Casters.

Now that Merlin had finally condensed a Mind Heart, he could start constructing the remaining Fifth-level Ice-type and Thunder-type spells. However, he still had to consume some of the power of the Maxim to derive two completely new Fifth-level spells.

The two brand new Fifth-level spells required quite a lot of power from the Maxim. The last time when he derived four Fifth-level spells, he almost completely consumed the Ice Maxim.

The higher the spell level, the more difficult it would be to derive, and the more the Maxim would be consumed. Thankfully, Merlin rediscovered the Thunder Maxim, so deriving two Fifth-level spells would not consume too much.

“Matrix, initiate!”

Merlin had just initiated the Matrix to prepare to derive the remaining brand new Fifth-level spells when suddenly, there was a slight Elemental fluctuation from outside the door.

“Bang!”

Merlin’s door was immediately smashed open, and Wizard Dara marched in with large strides.

“Wizard Dara!”

Merlin looked up and fiercely glared at Wizard Dara with a dark expression. Behind Wizard Dara was Lady Phillie and Darknight, who obviously could not stop Wizard Dara.

“Master, we couldn’t stop Wizard Dara...”

Darknight lowered his head and said nervously.

“Wizard Dara, I’m afraid it’s not very appropriate to barge into my residence without permission.”

Merlin’s aura was slightly cold.

However, Wizard Dara’s expression remained dignified and was indifferent to Merlin’s attitude. Instead, he whispered, “Merlin, we’re leaving Dara City immediately. There’s been some movement with Ores.”

“Hmm? Movements?”

Merlin finally understood why Wizard Dara rushed in so urgently. It was because Ores had made some moves. Wizard Dara must have been watching Ores constantly so that the moment Ores did anything, he would immediately notice it.

“Darknight, Lady Phillie, wait here at Dara City for my return!”

After Merlin gave a simple order to Darknight and Lady Phillie, he quickly left Dara City along with Wizard Dara.

...

The vast prairie was full of lush and dense green grass that was as tall as a person. Several white lambs hid in the grass, enjoying their delicacies.

“Whoosh...”

As a breeze blew, the entire verdant grassland seemed to dance, making it look very majestic.

“Swoosh... Swoosh.”

Two figures flew from the distance and stopped over the prairie. One of them was wearing a long black Wizard robe with the face of a young man. He looked around and whispered, “Wizard Dara, where’s Ores? Didn’t you put some tricks in the Memory Crystal that enabled you to grasp Ores’ every move?”

The two figures were Wizards Merlin and Dara, who had rushed over from Dara City. However, their faces were slightly gloomy, and the aura on their bodies was faintly irritable.

That was because on the way, Wizard Dara realized that he could no longer trace Ores’ whereabouts. This made the two have a sense of foreboding.

“What do we do now? If Ores found that your Memory Crystal was tempered, he would definitely destroy it so that his whereabouts can’t be traced.”

Merlin looked around. This was a prairie that stretched as far as the eye could see but it was completely devoid of people.

Wizard Dara also knew that there were two possibilities. However, he was very confident in the tricks that he had put on the Memory Crystal. He said, “Ores definitely won’t notice that the Memory Crystal was tempered by me. The greatest possibility is that he memorized the information about the wicked god’s believers from the Memory Crystal, and then destroyed the Memory Crystal!”

After a pause, Wizard Dara continued, “Although it’s slightly troublesome to be unable to trace Ores’ whereabouts, if we hurry over to the place the wicked god’s believers gather, we might be able to find Ores. At that time, we can still secretly follow him from behind.

That was their only alternative now, so Merlin nodded. Wizard Dara was the true owner of the Memory Crystal, so he naturally knew where the wicked god’s believers were.

“Where are the wicked god’s believers? The grasslands spread as far as the eye can see here. Where can the wicked god’s believers hide?”

Merlin searched carefully with his Mind Power again. Now that his Mind Power was incredibly huge, the condensed Special Mind Power was continuously being compressed. Although the volume had decreased, his Mind Power had not become smaller.

After searching with his Mind Power, Merlin could “see” some tiny insects hiding in the prairie but he did not discover any believers of the wicked god.

“Rumble.”

Suddenly, the entire sky fluctuated, and the temperature also seemed to drop at once. Merlin’s face changed as he felt Elemental fluctuations. However, this was not a natural change but was the cause of a Spell Caster casting an extremely strong spell.

“It’s Ores!”

Wizard Dara cried out confidently but that made Merlin feel even more puzzled. That was because he could not detect Ores’ specific location at all. He could not even be sure that there was anyone around.

As if sensing Merlin’s doubts, Wizard Dara faintly smiled. However, he did not provide any explanation and simply whispered, “Wizard Merlin, just follow me and you’ll see.”

Saying this, Wizard Dara transformed into a rainbow bean and rapidly flew down to the grasslands. He looked around and gently pointed in mid-air.

“Hum.”

Merlin’s finger caused the surroundings to ripple as if it were water. The ripples started to spread in all directions.

As the ripples spread, Merlin was also surprised to find that on the large, vacant grasslands, a vacant space with no grass gradually appeared where there was a tall and monstrous statue.

This tall and monstrous statue was a sculpture of an incomparably tall god. A huge black snake was coiled around his arm and twisted around his body with its head raised high above the god’s head, giving others a sense of fear upon seeing it.

“This is the wicked god! Haha, those believers used the wicked god’s power to create such an illusion. If I hadn’t accidentally entered here last time, I’m afraid it might have fooled me as well. It’s not surprising that these wicked god’s believers had been able to hide for so long.”

It was not Wizard Dara’s first time here. He had already broken into this place before but since he could not deal with those believers alone, he began to think of a meticulous plan.

“Wasn’t the wicked god killed by Wizard Mogan? How can those believers still gain power from believing in the wicked god?”

Merlin grasped the key point. It seemed that these followers were not easy to deal with. They were able to obtain such power from their belief in the wicked god, and were able to create such a brilliant illusion that fooled even Merlin. Merlin could not find the specific location even when there was someone inside who was casting spells.

“The wicked god was indeed killed by Wizard Mogan but the wicked god’s power comes from belief. Therefore, as long as there are people believing in the wicked god, even if it died long ago, it would still be able to be born again. This secret isn’t something that only an Eighth-level Spell Caster like me would now. Perhaps the Glorious Wizards inside the Glorious Palace already know about this secret.”

The fact that Wizard Dara knew that the wicked god’s power came from belief was already quite amazing. All information about the wicked god was tightly sealed by the Glorious Palace.

Although Wizard Dara did not explain clearly, he gave Merlin a hint. When he was at the Glorious Land, Merlin received a trace of divinity. Thus, he understood that divinity was a god’s strongest power.

As long as their divinity was not destroyed, a god would not die. Even powerful Honored Legends could only suppress gods that had divinity and slowly obliterate their divinity over a long period of time, thus killing the gods.

Divinity was transformed by gods from the endless power of belief. Wizard Dara’s words let Merlin immediately think about divinity. The believers of this evil god might have caused divinity to be reborn again.”

If that was the case, to Merlin, it was an opportunity that could be encountered but not sought after. Not only would he be able to obtain a reward from the Glorious Palace but he might also even have the chance to obtain divinity.

“Crack.”

There was another strong wave of Ice-Elemental fluctuation, and a thin layer of ice crystals faintly appeared on the ground. Merlin and Dara cast a look at each other and their faces brightened. The only person who could cast spells here where the believers of the wicked god gathered was Ores.

“Ores really has started to act. Hehe, we’ll follow behind and wait until he’s completely locked in battle with the wicked god’s believers, and then eliminate all the wicked god’s believers in one go!”

An expression of anticipation revealed itself on Wizard Dara’s face. Then, together with Merlin, they secretly approached the front where the Elemental fluctuations were the strongest.
