A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 759: Break Through, Illusory Heart!

Everyone could sense the destructive powers contained within that blinding light. Even Merlin gave up all hope at this point. Two Legend Squads would be reduced to ashes the next moment.

This was a terrifying war. No one was able to predict the dangers that lied ahead. Once danger came around the corner, it was inevitable.

At this moment, it felt like time stopped still. The hidden Atlan civilization warship was a dimension-level warship. This blast was intended to kill more Legendary Wizards, and tilt the balance of the war.

Before this beam of light, no one could possibly think of escaping because it was simply too fast for anyone to react in time.

“Purgatory Inferno!”

Suddenly, a frosty voice reverberated in everyone’s ears. A silhouette, nestled between wedges of black and fiery red, was exceptionally familiar to almost all the Legendary Wizards.

The Blackfire Lord! The closest Lord to their vicinity was the Blackfire Lord. He immediately wielded his Maxims. Two Maxims combined to form an inferno-like blaze, far above the power of an average Honored Legend.

This was the power of a Lord!

“Boom.”

Two mighty forces of power collided directly with one another. That blinding light packed a powerful penetrative force and pierced through the two Maxims wielded by the Blackfire Lord. Almost unrelentingly, it headed straight toward the Blackfire Lord.

Nevertheless, the Blackfire Lord was prepared. He gently waved his hand, and a huge casting tool appeared, with his Maxim avatar above it.

“Go!”

This was a life-preserving casting tool that the Blackfire Lord had spent countless years to construct. It could withstand one hit from a Lord. Therefore, he was not afraid of this light beam.

Nonetheless, he would lose a life-preserving casting tool.

“What are you waiting for?”

The Blackfire Lord roared loudly. Currently, the battlefield was extremely chaotic. Everywhere was filled with formidable Maxims and the light beams of the Atlan civilization warships.

This dimension-level warship could not be challenged by anyone below a Lord. Hence, even the Blackfire Lord had a difficult time resisting it. Fortunately, other Lords had noticed the position of this dimension-level warship and was quickly approaching.

“Phew.”

Merlin’s heart relaxed marginally. He continued to wield Hallucinating spell with his Mind Power to trap the Atlans in the three empire-level warships in the illusion. Therefore, he could only leave this place after Legend Zado’s squad had left. Otherwise, the three empire-level warships were also tough to handle.

“Unfortunately, I still cannot gain enlightenment of the Illusory Heart. Otherwise, I can exert control over people’s minds, like puppets. Then, we won’t be so troubled. What am I lacking?”

For some time now, Merlin could sense that he was already very close to breaking through the Illusory Heart. However, he was still lacking kismet. As to what kind of kismet this was, he did not know either.

However, just as he was about to leave, an even stronger surge of danger prickled down his neck. He raised his head abruptly and saw that behind the first light beam was another scarier light.

“Teacher Blackfire!!!”

Merlin’s heart lurched. The first beam was only barely blocked by the Blackfire Lord’s life-preserving casting tool. This beam of light was even more terrifying than its predecessor. What else could he possibly use to deflect it?

It seemed like no power would be able to stop this terrifying beam of light anymore. In the blink of an eye, the light slammed directly onto the Darkness Maxim and Fire Maxim in front of the Blackfire Lord and easily tore them apart. Next, it struck the Blackfire Lord’s body violently.

The Spell Casters’ bodies, regardless of if they were Legends or Lords, were weak without the protection of Maxims. The light beam tore apart the Blackfire Lord’s Maxims with ease and had turned him into ashes.

Silence. Deafening silence!

The entire battlefield fell silent in an instant. Along with that beam of light, the Blackfire Lord had disappeared. This was an incomparably ancient Lord who had grew in tandem with the Spell Caster civilization. He had witnessed the Spell Caster civilization when it was at its weakest, and then step by step, flourished into its current might.

He was a Great Lord. During peacetime or even a ruthless civilization war, they would not die. It was only when they faced the Atlan civilization previously had seen some Lords getting killed.

This time, upon re-encountering the Atlan civilization, another Lord had fallen!

Merlin stared dumb stricken at the Void Zone where the Blackfire Lord had perished. It was an empty patch with nothing left. Even an ultimate Maxim could not withstand that terrifying beam. A Lord was reduced into ashes.

“Teacher Blackfire...”

Merlin’s mind replayed various scenes containing the Blackfire Lord. From the beginning of his Spell Caster journey to his achievement of becoming a Great Honored Legend today, three Wizards had impacted him the most.

The first was Old Man Etha back in Blackwater City. Without Old Man Etha, Merlin would not have embarked on the path to become a Spell Caster. Most probably, by now, he would have died like a Normie.

Therefore, despite the meager number of times he had met Old Man Etha, it could not be denied that in Merlin’s heart, Old Man Etha was his first teacher!

The second Wizard was Wizard Leo. Back in the Dark Magic Region, Wizard Leo had not only given Merlin a lot of attention but even took the initiative to approach Abyss Fort to help Merlin obtain Darkness Heart. Then, before his death, he had passed on Darkness Eye to Merlin.

Without Darkness Eye, Merlin would have died multiple times in all kinds of dangerous situations. Hence, Wizard Leo’s help would forever be remembered by Merlin.

The third Wizard was none other than the Blackfire Lord. In the beginning, this Great Lord merely admired Merlin or perhaps even treated him as an experiment. He wanted to see if Merlin could perfect the Mind Power system.

Merlin had perfected the preliminary stage of the Mind Power system. He had not gotten an opportunity to share this news with the Blackfire Lord, and now, the Blackfire Lord was dead.

Back when Merlin was trapped in the Slothful Beast world, if not for the Blackfire Lord who had managed to persuade Arcane Wizard Setoh, Merlin might have been trapped in the Slothful Beast world for the rest of his life.

However, all three of them were dead now. Old Man Etha died, Teacher Leo died, and now, the Blackfire Lord too!

At this moment, a spark of fury arose in Merlin’s heart. Ever since he began cultivating his Mind Power and inch toward perfecting the Mind Power system, Merlin almost did not have an ounce of rage in him anymore. His control over his emotions was extremely high. There was almost nothing in this world that could cause him to lose control over his emotions and explode in fury.

This time, however, the Blackfire Lord had died right before his eyes, reduced into ashes. Furious emotions surged out. Merlin’s Mind Power tremored vigorously and began to bubble frantically like a pot of boiling water.

A strange sensation appeared in Merlin’s heart. His consciousness seemed detached from his body and he could distinctly sense the undulating rage contained in his emotions.

Besides rage, there was sorrow, regret, and a myriad of emotions. All of them were clearly reflected in his consciousness.

“Illusory Heart? Is this the power to control minds?”

Merlin mumbled under his breath. His consciousness was incomparably calm at this moment, almost like he was watching an unrelated person. The various emotions in his own heart appeared succinctly before his eyes. In fact, he could even control those emotions and the power of rage.

In his mind, the features of the Illusory Heart realm appeared instinctively. This was the Mind Control that Titus had told him about. How daunting was such an ability?

“Boom.”

That huge light beam appeared once again. The dimension-level warship was hidden amid the darkness. As long as it existed, the Spell Caster civilization would sustain massive losses.

The dimension-level warship hidden behind the scenes could tilt the outcome of the war!

Although several Great Lords had been gradually approaching the warship, their distance was still far away. If this warship could wreck damage, by the time the Great Lords find the warship, the Spell Casters would have been grievously crippled.

Merlin gently shut his eyes and stood motionlessly in the Void Zone. His mannerisms attracted a lot of attention. Many Wizards even wondered if Merlin had lost his mind.

Faced with the threat of death, perhaps even the Honored Legends would go insane.

However, Merlin alone knew that his Mind Power was surging like a tidal wave. It was multiplying rapidly. The very moment he gained enlightenment of the Illusory Heart, his Mind Power seemed to increase at ten times speed. In the blink of an eye, his Mind Power had grown a hundred-fold.

How frightful was such a growth rate?

It was not surprising that Titus kept telling Merlin not to bother deliberately cultivating Mind Power. Once there was a breakthrough in the Hallucinating spells realm, upon enlightenment of the Illusory Heart realm, his Mind Power would increase at such a terrifying rate.

The vast Void Zone now became incomparably tiny in Merlin’s eyes. His Mind Power extended incessantly and feverishly, almost enveloping dozens of Rock Creatures and Light Believers as well as more than ten Atlan civilization warships.

“Mind Control!”

At this moment, Merlin’s Mind Power erupted. A daunting Mind Power, coupled with the unrivaled Illusory Heart realm exploded. No one had ever seen a Mind Power Master, especially a Ninth-level Mind Power Master, achieve such a formidable feat.

Merlin was now at the Ninth-level, a Mind Power Master who had achieved the Illusory Heart realm!

“Hum.”

Suddenly, the faces of those who were encased by Merlin’s Mind Power twitched slightly. Merlin could distinctly sense the myriad of emotions in their minds.

There was smugness, fear, fanatism, and so on. The Light Believers’ unparalleled fanatical worship, the Rock Tribe’s smugness, and the Atlans’ calmness.

Various emotions appeared in Merlin’s mind. At this moment, Merlin could almost become the master of all living beings. The mind was the master of all living beings, and all their minds had been controlled by Merlin!

Once Mind Power Masters achieved the Eighth-level Hallucinating spells’ realm, they would become more powerful than their similar-level counterparts. Then, upon cultivating Mind Suppression, they would become even more powerful. Upon achieving the Ninth-level, which was the Illusory Heart realm, they would be terrifying!

There was another more apt description, invincible!
