A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 575: Swallowed!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The giant’s roar reverberated in the air. Merlin and Luce’s faces waned slightly. They took a quick glance at this giant, and estimated his height to be at least nine hundred and twenty meters, which already exceeded nine hundred meters!

This was certainly terrifying. As long as it was not the Giant King, it was impossible to exceed one kilometer. Nevertheless, giants who had achieved more than nine hundred meters were considered to be powerful Expert giants.

Back then, the Giant Commander who had been able to resist the Great Legends’ attack was nine hundred and ninety meters, and was infinitely close to a Great Legend himself. He was one of the influential leaders among the giants, with great potential to boot.

This giant in front of them was not yet nine hundred and ninety meters but was almost there. Certainly, his power would be comparable to an ultimate Great Wizard.

Merlin and Luce rapidly stretched out the distance between themselves and the giant. Standing mid-air in front of the giant, they seemed like tiny insects.

Following the huge sound made by the giant, several other giants who were also over nine hundred meters awoke. There were also some giants over eight hundred meters who were further away from the Vortex Hole.

The entire Giant Tribe in the Giant Mountain seemed to be arranged closer or further from the Vortex Hole based on their abilities. The most powerful giant was this nine hundred and twenty meter giant, who was closest to the Vortex Hole.

Once these giants awoke, the entire Giant Mountain shook. After all, this was the heart of the Giant Tribe, so most of the giants were congregated here.

“This is bad, Wizard Merlin and Wizard Luce have been discovered!”

“Such a fearsome aura! Do you see those giants? They are at least nine hundred meters...”

“It has been so many years but the abilities of the Giant Tribe hasn’t declined, and in fact, even strengthened. The giants over nine hundred meters are the most powerful civilization in the Slothful Beast world!”

Wizard Eldo and the others who stayed outside the vicinity of Giant Mountain could see the changes in Giant Mountain from far away. Countless giants were rushing toward the Vortex Hole. In a distance, they could see the half bodies of a few giants, whose aura sparked fear in Eldo and the others, despite the distance.

Just a single giant over nine hundred meters would pose a huge threat to Spellcast City. If the Runic Magic Circle outside Spellcast City was destroyed, the entire Spell Caster civilization would not be a worthy opponent to a giant over nine hundred meters.

“Let’s wait a little longer. Hopefully, Wizard Merlin and Wizard Luce will somehow be lucky enough to escape!”

Eldo pursed his lips tightly. He could only hope that Merlin and Luce would be wise enough to retreat immediately, and had powerful techniques to escape from the Giant Mountain.

However, seeing the few giants over nine hundred meters, Eldo knew that the possibility was extremely small. It was such a pity that the elemental crystal stones were with Merlin and Luce...

...

“Giants over nine hundred meters! Didimoss, quickly, swallow as many as you can!”

Merlin took a deep breath. Giants over nine hundred meters were utterly beyond his capabilities. Moreover, the black cat Didimoss had been looking forward to this moment.

“Haha, so many powerful foreign tribes, even stronger than those captured by that old man. I didn’t expect that there would be such a treat inside the Slothful Beast world!”

The black cat Didimoss leaped from Merlin’s shoulder into the air. Compared to the nine hundred over meter giant, the black cat Didimoss was nothing more than a negligible “little black dot”.

“Meow!”

The black cat Didimoss emitted a squeak, and opened his mouth. Then, his mouth began to expand continuously. A few moments later, his mouth had expanded countless times, covering the sun and the sky. The entire sky seemed to be filled with his colossal mouth.

“Suck!”

The big mouth of Didimoss was like a bottomless pit. There was a strong burst of suction, and the giants who were underneath the big mouth revealed a look of horror.

One, two, three...

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen giants had been swallowed into Didimoss’ big mouth. Although these were only giants under five hundred meters, it still caused a huge uproar among the Giant Tribe.

“What exactly is this creature?”

“Slothful Beast, is it a Slothful Beast?”

“Such a formidable aura, just feeling it makes me shudder. This existence is comparable to the Giant King...”

Many of the giants were terrified. They growled, roared, and exerted all their strength to attempt to resist Didimoss’ swallowing but to no avail. At best, only the giants over nine hundred meters were somewhat able to keep themselves from being swallowed.

However, as time passed, even the giants over nine hundred meters would not last much longer.

Behind the black cat Didimoss, watching these giants being helplessly swallowed in front of their eyes reminded both Merlin and Luce about the Slothful Beast that had swallowed them.

“Wizard Merlin, Sir Didimoss is truly quite similar to the Slothful Beast. In the future, do you think Sir Didimoss would become as formidable as the Slothful Beast?”

Although Wizard Luce had witnessed the black cat Didimoss multiple times, he was still awestruck by the scene unfolding before them. This was highly similar to the Slothful Beast back then. No matter what it was, everything was swallowed up.

The members of the Giant Tribe all possessed immeasurable strength. Combined, they were truly a force to be reckoned with. Nevertheless, right now, they had been turned into nothing but a delicacy by Didimoss, who was swallowing them one after another.

“Slothful Beast? Perhaps, one day, Didimoss will really turn into an existence comparable to the Slothful Beast...”

A smile tugged at the corner of Merlin’s lips. Only a few Wizards such as him and the Blackfire Lord knew the true potential of the black cat Didimoss, which was practically endless.

The black cat Didimoss was a living being which had reversed the natural order, hence his potential was endless. Even the Arcane Wizards were unable to predict the extent to which Didimoss could grow to become. In addition, Didimoss’ ability to swallow would grow more powerful in tandem with his strength. So, the more powerful the existences he swallowed, the more nourishment and powers his body would receive.

If such a continuous feedback loop continued for tens of thousands of years or longer, who could imagine how much more terrifying would Didimoss become?

This was the benefit of reversing the natural order. Merlin’s heart was even more eager to perfect the Mind Power system. According to the Blackfire Lord’s deduction and Titus’ theory, in order to perfect the Mind Power system, Mind Power must be converted from intangible into tangible power. In other words, it would be a completely unimaginable power that reversed the natural order.

“Hoo hoo hoo...”

The black cat Didimoss increased the suction power, but the few giants over nine hundred meters remained unyielding, still barely able to resist the swallowing of the black cat Didimoss.

“Great Being, we the Giant Tribe are willing to relinquish Vortex Hole, and leave Giant Mountain. Please, Great Being, stop swallowing!”

The nine hundred and twenty meter giant who was the leader of the giants finally spoke. Countless giants had already been swallowed by the black cat Didimoss. Even for those giants over nine hundred meters, he did not know how much longer they would be able to hold on.

These giants would not have expected that inside the Slothful Beast world, there was such a terrifying entity which rivaled the Giant King. Therefore, regardless of their pride, they could only beg for mercy.

Due to the massive pride of the Giant Tribe, begging for mercy was extremely difficult. They were naturally an aggressive tribe, more willing to die fighting than to retreat, and beg for mercy.

However, faced with an undefeatable opponent, even the proud and stubborn giants would bow!

“Spare you?”

The black cat Didimoss suddenly stopped swallowing. Then, his body shrank and resumed his original size. He jumped onto Merlin’s shoulder with a satiated look.

“Merlin, I’ve already swallowed quite a bit, three hundred over giants in total. I feel really comfortable. I will need a long time to digest this. As for how to deal with the giants, it’s up to you.”

Subsequently, the black cat Didimoss fell asleep on Merlin’s shoulder.

“Didimoss?”

Merlin kept calling Didimoss, but unfortunately, Didimoss did not respond at all. Merlin felt a little helpless. The black cat Didimoss would fall into a deep slumber after swallowing, and then upon waking, wanting to swallow again.

In the past, Merlin did not think too much about it, but right now, Merlin began to feel that the black cat Didimoss was getting more and more similar to the Slothful Beast. Eat and sleep, sleep and eat. In addition, they both possessed a terrifying ability to swallow.

Seeing that the black cat Didimoss was no longer responsive, Merlin shifted his gaze back to the few giants over nine hundred meters and hesitated for a moment. Then, in a deep voice, he said, “The Giant Tribe must leave the Giant Mountain!”

These giants naturally saw the black cat Didimoss leaping onto Merlin’s shoulder, so they knew that his relationship with Didimoss was not insignificant. They no longer dared to treat Merlin and Luce flippantly. With a tone of relief, the giant replied, “Wizards, please be rest assured. We the Giant Tribe abide by our oath. Since the Great Being has spared us, we the Giant Tribe promise that we’ll not take a single step into Giant Mountain hereon forth!”

The giants’ leader’s words echoed around the Giant Mountain. Below them, many of the giants each growled loudly to express their oath.

As for the oath made by the Giant Tribe, Merlin and Luce were reassured. This was because among the numerous powerful civilizations in the Void Zone, the Giant Tribe’s oath was like the contracts signed by the Spell Casters. None of the giants would betray their oath.

“Right, as the winners, these two Wizards have the right to know everything about the Vortex Hole! We the Giant Tribe have guarded the Vortex Hole for many years, and also know of some of its secrets.”

“Secrets?”

Merlin’s eyes glinted. The Giant Tribe had guarded the Vortex Hole for so many years, perhaps there were some valuable clues.

“Yes, secrets! The Vortex Hole is the link to the outside world beyond the Slothful Beast world. This is beyond doubt! However, passing through the Vortex Hole is simply too arduous. It’s only possible if a powerful external force ripped apart the Vortex Hole from the outside, then it might be possible to leave the Slothful Beast world through the Vortex Hole. Unfortunately, we have never been able to contact the outside world.”

When the giant had finished speaking, he stood up, and roared. In an instant, all the giants inside Giant Mountain began to run out of the mountain. Hundreds and thousands of giants sprinted across the landscape, forming an unbelievable scene.

Once the giants left, Luce and Merlin turned their gaze toward the Vortex Hole.

“Although what the giants said might be true, we still have to give it a try!”

Merlin looked at the Vortex Hole with steel determination blazing in his eyes.
