Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Titus, act now!”

Merlin’s voice was very soft as if he was talking to himself but if one were to sense carefully, there was endless anger pouring from his body.

Anger erupted from him like a volcano. Of course, it was impossible for Merlin to level up his Mind Power to the Ninth-level within such a short period of time, and suppress everyone. This would only exist in legends. According to Merlin’s estimation, he was one opening short of breaking through his Mind Power to the Ninth-level. Nevertheless, simply relying on the dimension’s memory alone was far from sufficient.

There was a measure of prudence in his heart, so he was unwilling to forcefully mobilize the Illusory World. However, this prudence had led to the destruction of Alcra’s nine Tree Saplings and his foundation.

Throughout the time he spent with Alcra in this dimension, they had experienced life and death circumstances together, and formed a deep friendship. Just like right now, despite Alcra’s roots being damaged, he still held on. It was not only for the alleged “hope” mentioned by Merlin but also for their deep friendship. This was a friendship that transcended the oath.

Although the open territory was filled with all kinds of manipulations and betrayals, there were some foreign tribes who experienced life and death circumstances together, and as a result, formed a lasting friendship. Finally, they explored the open territory together.

Seeing that Alcra did not hold back from using his nine Tree Saplings to resist Nestia and Luca’s attacks, and consequently had his foundations damaged, Merlin could no longer keep calm. He immediately opened his eyes, and no longer hesitated. This time, there was a white illusion bead in his hand.

“Boom.”

The entire world appeared to quieten. Time stopped flowing, and all life forms were silenced. Of course, the Illusory World did not have such powers but it could make everyone “see” such a scenario, and feel its endless power.

This was a real Hallucinating spell. Using the small strand of Mind Power left behind, Titus forcefully mobilized the Illusory World. So, even a Great Legend would be trapped in this Hallucinating spell.

Luca, Bordeaux, the Giant Nestia, and the Spell Caster Kubale were no exceptions. All of them fell into the illusion.

“Die!”

Raging flames erupted. Gale, thunder, and ice crystals swirled wildly, swiftly engulfing these four foreign tribes. Merlin took the opportunity to release his spell fusion while they were trapped in the illusion.

“Bang bang bang bang.”

The bodies of these beings exploded in a dense manner. Merlin’s spell fusion had achieved the level of a peak Great Wizard, so it had a definite advantage over those trapped in an illusion.

“No, how could this be?”

First, it was the Giant Nestia. His Mind Power was the weakest, so he was completely trapped in the illusion. When the spell fusion engulfed him, Nestia did not react, and was immediately consumed by the flames.

Not only Nestia but Luca, Bordeaux, and Kubale were also engulfed in the spell fusion. Nevertheless, Luca managed to survive unscathed due to his tough defensive powers. On the other hand, Kubale and Bordeaux appeared to possess some defensive techniques and were able to withstand Merlin’s spell fusion.

Although they managed to withstand it, their bodies were gravely injured, and their auras began to weaken.

“Merlin, I can’t hold on anymore...”

Titus’ weak voice came from the illusion bead. Then, the Illusory World retracted quickly and returned into the illusion bead. Kubale, Luca, and the others appeared to wake from a dream-like state.

“Another Hallucinating spell?”

“Where’s Nestia? Where did Nestia go?”

Luca and the others were staring at Merlin suspiciously. At this moment, the three of them exchanged a look. All of them were gravely injured, and Nestia had disappeared. Upon careful recollection, they vaguely recalled some details.

“Nestia is dead! How can there be such a powerful Hallucinating spell?”

Kubale stared at Merlin incredulously. As a fellow Spell Caster, he was aware of the formidability of Merlin’s Hallucinating spells. None of the Mind Power Masters had been able to become existences comparable to a Great Legend.

However, Merlin’s Hallucinating spell was able to trap them, namely the mightiest existences below a Legend. This power was at least equivalent to a Great Legend, which surpassed the limits of a Mind Power Master. Thus, Kubale’s face was full of confusion and disbelief. Only he understood how terrifying this really was, and what implications it brought.

If the Mind Power Masters finally managed to give birth to an existence comparable to a Great Legend, that meant that the Mind Power system was gradually becoming perfect. In the future, the Mind Power system would not be inferior to the Spell Caster system.

Alcra also reacted, and asked in amazement, “Wizard Merlin, you... Have you succeeded?”

Merlin remained quiet. Certainly, he did not succeed. After Titus’ voice fell, Merlin briefly probed the Illusory World, and did not sense Titus’ aura. Perhaps, Titus had been destroyed after forcefully mobilizing the Illusory World.

Of course, this was only Merlin’s guess. Without Titus’ help, Merlin would not be able to mobilize the Illusory World again.

“Alcra, the three of them are seriously injured. Let’s join forces and kill them!”

Merlin’s gaze swept through the three beings, his body exuding a ruthless murderous intent. Currently, the situation had been completely reversed. Even without the Illusory World, based on these three beings’ condition, they would not be able to withstand Merlin and Alcra’s joint attack.

“Boom.”

Suddenly, the sky seemed to darken, and the entire dimension was filled with strong pressure, causing everyone’s breathing to become slightly suffocated.

“This...”

Everyone stared blankly at the dark sky. This was not darkness but clearly a gigantic palm that covered almost half the dimension. The palm was swinging down toward Merlin and the others.

“A Legend, and not an ordinary Legend too! Finally, a Legend is interfering. Go, go, go or we’ll all die!”

Seeing this terrifying palm in the sky, everyone knew that a foreign tribe’s Legend had acted. Looking at the gigantic palm, it might be a Giant King.

A Giant King was comparable to a Great Legend. Faced against such an existence, Luca and the others had zero thoughts of fighting back. Once a Legend interfered, this Inception Dimension had become a Legend’s battleground. Despite being outstanding individuals below a Legend, they were nothing in the eyes of a Great Legend, and could be wiped out in a single swipe.

“Whiz.”

Bordeaux was the fastest to escape. The golden light on his body flashed brighter than ever, and it seemed like he wielded some sort of mysterious technique. From within the golden light, an even bigger golden Roc appeared. This bigger Roc’s speed was several times faster. It transformed into a golden ray, and escaped the hit of the Giant King’s palm.

However, the rest of them were not so lucky. Even though Kubale was the most preeminent Great Wizard and even wielded some casting tools, he was ultimately unable to block the power of the gigantic palm.

“Crack.”

Kubale’s double-decker ship was smashed into smithereens, one layer after another. Subsequently, Kubale himself could only watch as the palm landed on him and crushed him into pieces.

Despite Luca being a powerful Rock Creature with powerful defensive powers, everything was relative. In the face of such an unimaginably huge palm, the rocks on his body broke apart and were crushed into dust.

All of them were the mightiest existence below a Legend. They were well-known in the open territory, and no one would dare to provoke them. However, faced against a Great Legend, they were completely unable to resist.

This was the crucial difference between a Legend and below a Legend. Even someone infinitely close to a Legend was only close, and not really a Legend.

“We can’t wait anymore. Alcra, escape, escape with all your might!”

Looking at the attack of the Giant King, a great sense of danger appeared in Merlin’s heart. He dared not dither any longer. Right now, if he was even one step too slow, he would turn to dust together with Luca and Kubale.

“Legend Zado, I’m counting on you!”

Merlin gritted his teeth. He had one last trump card, which was the imprint given to him by Legend Zado. This imprint was able to withstand a Great Legend’s two or three Maxims but only for a relatively short duration.

Back when Merlin was facing Legend Sith in the Shkedu Dimension, it was safe for him to hide in the Pavilion of Rarities, so he did not have to activate this imprint. Right now, however, faced with the Giant King’s attacks, Merlin had no way of escaping. Without blocking the Giant King, both Alcra and he would die.

“Boom.”

Merlin’s Mind Power immediately activated the imprint left behind by Legend Zado. Instantly, a flame flew out, and an apparition of Legend Zado appeared in the flames.

“Merlin, what trouble did you run into this time? Hell, a Giant King, you actually provoked a Giant King and not an ordinary Giant King as well?”

As soon as Legend Zado’s apparition appeared, he immediately sensed the tremendous pressure. When he saw that gigantic palm, it was clear that it was a terrifying Giant King.

At this time, Merlin was being crushed by the tremendous pressure to the point of suffocation, so it was difficult for him to even speak. Naturally, he did not answer Legend Zado’s question. He and Alcra immediately flew out of the dimension as fast as possible. Since the Giant King was only trying to obtain the dimension, it would be safe as long as they left the dimension. The Great Legends could forcibly plunder the Dimension Core, so Merlin and Alcra’s control over the Dimension Core was insignificant.

“Boom!”

The entire dimension was shaking violently as if it would be torn apart. This was a result of the Giant King’s terrifying palm encountering Legend Zado’s imprint that Merlin had activated. Legend Zado’s imprint was able to rival a Great Legend’s two or three Maxims, so its abilities were not weak, merely short-lived.

Therefore, it should be able to restrain this terrifying Giant King for a moment even though this was not an ordinary Giant King. Merlin’s inference was proven true the next moment because the Giant King’s hand was not able to press down onto them. It was blocked by Legend Zado’s apparition.

Merlin and Alcra took advantage of this time to fly out of the dimension. They did not dare delay, and continued flying toward the depths of the dark and icy Void Zone.
