A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 743: Mind Suppression?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Should we attempt this or not?”

Both of them were still somewhat uncertain. After all, this tower was left behind by an ultimate existence. There might still be some hidden measures inside which posed a certain degree of danger.

Nonetheless, if they did not try now, they might regret it later on.

“Let’s go for it! This is a monumental opportunity. Something left behind by an ultimate existence before they died must be extraordinary!”

At last, Merlin and Maya agreed unanimously to force their way through. This was too great a temptation. A lofty ultimate existence could not possibly die in the Void Zone they have now.

An ordinary Legend would not die if their Maxim was not destroyed, let alone an ultimate existence. Therefore, Merlin and Moya found it hard to imagine what power it was that had managed to kill an ultimate existence.

However, the thing which actually prompted this bold idea was the purple monster puppet on the first floor of the tower. Although its energy was intense, it was merely comparable to an average Legend. It posed no threat to both Merlin and Maya.

“Attack!”

Maya attacked immediately. The golden river crashed forward majestically. He did not hold back at all. The first attack was employed using his greatest strength that was on par with an Honored Legend. It crushed the purple monster puppet thoroughly. Right away, the body of the purple monster puppet, made from an unknown material, was now reduced to smithereens completely.

Ka-chak! Ka-chak!

This purple monster puppet was unable to put up the slightest resistance before it was shattered to bits by Maya. Merlin even used his Mind Power to examine it. There was really no trace left of the purple monster puppet.

“It must be dead. Let’s continue upwards.”

Merlin drew in a deep breath. Both of them paid no more attention to this purple monster puppet. It was merely on par with most Legends, totally incapable of withstanding a full-force blow from Maya. Thus, both of them grew confident and headed swiftly towards the higher floors of the tower.

This tower was peculiar. Both of them ascended higher, but they did not encounter any puppets until they reached the tenth floor on their way. Finally, there was another ball of purple light. A massive puppet walked out from the purple rays.

It was another puppet, but its appearance made Merlin and Maya’s expressions turn solemn. Its body was exuding a dangerous aura.

“Comparable to an Honored Legend?”

Although Merlin and Maya knew that the three obstacles of the tower would not be so easy to pass, and it might become increasingly difficult as they moved on, they were still astonished now that existence on par with an Honored Legend had appeared.

“Could the members of the Purple Tribe really have reached such a formidable stage? And they have a lot of existences on par with Honored Legends?”

This dimension was left behind by an ultimate existence of the Purple Tribe before his death in order to pass on certain things to the Purple Tribe. This should be a relatively easy test for the Purple Tribe, but a being on par with an Honored Legend had unexpectedly appeared.

This was only the second obstacle. Merlin was suspicious. Did this ultimate existence of the Purple Tribe actually want to pass on his inheritance to the members of the Purple Tribe?

All of their thoughts were nothing more than conjecture. This formidable puppet had already opened its eyes. It emitted a raspy voice upon seeing Merlin and Maya, “You’re not from the Purple Tribe, you’re intruders! Despicable intruders, scram!”

The puppet began to snarl with rage like a thunderstorm as it hurtled towards Merlin and Maya.

“Let me take care of it this time!”

Merlin took a step forward. Although this puppet was comparable to an Honored Legend, he was not afraid.

“Maxim Chains, bind!”

Lengths of black chains appeared beside Merlin. These were chains condensed from Merlin’s ultimate Maxim which could restrain the puppet directly.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Maxim Chains formed a giant net that swooped towards the puppet viciously. However, this puppet was not so easily defeated, and its body glowed with rays of purple light.

This purple light shone in one wave after another just like the tide. It crashed towards Merlin ferociously, and even the Honored Legend was taken aback by its strength.

Boom!

The two forces slammed together viciously. Merlin’s Maxim Chains were hindered and began to crumble inch by inch. Most of the chains were destroyed.

Nevertheless, there was still a portion of those chains which broke through the seal of the purple light. They tightened ruthlessly around the puppet. Its expression changed immediately as it sensed the danger.

Splash!

Maya could not just stand on the side and not do anything about it anymore. This puppet before them was not easy to handle. The power it had just unleashed was enough to make it a match for an Honored Legend.

He and Merlin had now joined forces to enter the tower. Naturally, they must not be hindered by this puppet before them. Therefore, a mighty golden river tumbled from above Maya’s head. Similar to Merlin’s Maxim Chains, together they wound tightly around the puppet.

Ka-chak!

At last, through the combined efforts of Merlin and Maya, this puppet was ultimately unable to endure their attacks any longer. The purple light began to disperse gradually until even the puppet’s body began to crack.

“Despicable intruders, you’ll never be able to pass the third obstacle, haha.”

Following the puppet’s thunderous laughter, the puppet suddenly exploded. Its sturdy body was reduced to tiny fragments, dropping to the floor.

Both Merlin’s and Maya’s hearts trembled. If the puppet here was already this powerful, then it would be troublesome. Still, it was fortunate that these were just puppets. Although their strength was like an Honored Legend’s, they were still slightly lacking in a real battle.

There was still a gap between them and actual Honored Legends. For instance, this puppet did not know any tricks Honored Legends or gods do. Legends, for instance, relied upon their Maxims. As long as their Maxim was not destroyed, the Legend would not die.

Gods were the same. If their divinity were not wiped out, they would not die.

However, puppets could not do this. Now that it had exploded into smithereens, it had truly “vanished.” It could not possibly survive.

“Next would be the third obstacle, which is also the last. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy. If we really can’t do it, we’ll leave!”

Merlin clenched his jaw as he looked at the shattered puppet on the floor. He knew that these puppets were troublesome, but they must still attempt the last obstacle. Otherwise, all their previous efforts would have been wasted.

Thus, no matter how dangerous the final obstacle was, he must attempt the challenge.

With that, Merlin and Maya, determined not to back down, entered the higher floors of the tower.

After climbing an unknown number of floors, they finally met another puppet in a spacious room, but this puppet was rather special.

This puppet spoke when it saw Merlin and Maya, “I’ve already been waiting for you both for a long while. Thankfully, you’ve finally come!”

“Waited for us for a long while?”

Merlin and Maya grew wary immediately. Everything they had done in the tower was not favorable towards the Purple Tribe, especially since they were forcing their way through now. Clearly, they were going against the original wishes of the tower’s master.

The puppet was undoubtedly the most loyal since it was left behind by the tower’s master.

“That’s right. I’m the last obstacle! You’re both intruders. In fact, back then Master had already made arrangements. It’s no big deal if intruders were to come one day. Defeat me, and naturally, you’ll be able to get what you want.”

The puppet as the third obstacle spoke plainly as if everything was under its control.

“As if it’s difficult to defeat you?”

Maya stepped forward. Based on its aura, this puppet was similar to the second puppet. It only exuded an aura on par with an Honored Legend.

Therefore, Maya was unafraid at all. The grand golden river above his head surged mightily.

The puppet narrowed its eyes. Faced with such a grandiose attack, the purple light of its body became incomparably beautiful instead, and a halo appeared behind it.

Boom!

An unseen force shrouded Maya and Merlin instantly. Merlin, at one side, could feel the pressure induced by this invisible force.

“What power is this? It’s able to suppress the full display of my strength?”

Maya could feel it now as well. His strength had been suppressed. This was not an ordinary suppression, but one that had suppressed around thirty percent of his power.

This was a terrifying number. If an Honored Legend had had thirty percent of its power suppressed, it was a terrifying thing indeed. Moreover, Maya was unable to break free from this shapeless force.

It was as if he was faced with an ultimate existence whose force alone was enough to suppress his display of power.

“Mind Suppression?”

Although Maya did not know what was happening, Merlin felt a tremble in his heart. This sensation was too familiar. This power was the Mind Power he had been chasing after!

In other words, it was slightly different from Merlin’s Mind Power. This Mind Power wielded by the puppet was actually able to suppress Maya, and it was a genuine suppression of his abilities, at least thirty percent of it. If Maya was by himself, he would only end up being crushed.

Merlin was astounded. It was shocking enough that a puppet could utilize Mind Power, but now it was able to suppress it’s opponent’s power. Not even Merlin, or Titus who had created the Mind Power system, had such an ability.

Which was to say, they could not use Mind Power to the extent that they could suppress an opponent’s capabilities.

“The Purple Tribe... What kind of civilization is it really?”

Merlin had always thought that only Mind Power Masters were able to use Mind Power in the Void Zone and they were the ones who had the most thorough research on Mind Power. However, faced with this enigmatic Purple Tribe puppet now, this notion of Merlin’s was swayed.

“This is Mind Power’s suppression of consciousness, which is an unseen manner, causes one to be incapable of displaying their full strength. It really is a scary trick. But it’s useless against me!”

A sharp look glinted in Merlin’s eyes. If it was anyone else, they would really be crushed immediately by this puppet because it could suppress nearly thirty percent of its opponents’ power.

Faced with a powerful Mind Power Master like Merlin, this suppression would vanish and become totally ineffective.

“Maxim Chains!”

Merlin clenched his fists. Instantly, massive chains that were as thick as arms filled the air as they blanketed the puppet. In addition, along with the Maxim Chains, Merlin also finally mobilized the Illusory World within the illusion bead.

In a flash, the Illusory World had completely enveloped Maya, the puppet, and everything else.
